Mr. Lerner stated in January 1994, this Board began the process of reinventing Tompkins County government by unanimously electing Stuart Stein as Chairman. Under Mr. Stein's leadership, Board meetings have been revamped, there have been major initiatives in quality improvements and the budget improvement process has been launched. It has been many years since we have seen so much excitement and creativity. Mr. Stein has a persistent voice for cooperation and consensus, but knows when it is time to make a decision on principle and make the hard decision that keeps the Board moving forward. 3 January 3, 1995 Mr. Lerner stated he looks forward to a new year that will be as productive and energetic as the last one, and is proud to nominate Stuart Stein, as Chairman of the Board. Mr. Lane stated as a new member of the Board and who has just begun to learn the mechanisms of the Board and how the Board works together, he is becoming more and more convinced that Stuart Stein has what it takes. He said someone of Mr. Stein's nature and abilities and take 15 Board members and mold them into a unit to accomplish the things that were done last year. Mr. Stein has carefully, and with a firm hand led the Board. Mr. Lane said he cannot think of more than one or two votes throughout the 1994 year that were party -line. Mr. Stein has molded the Board into one that can work together, party -lines withstanding. Mr. Lane stated he gladly seconds the nomination of Mr. Stein as Chairman. Mr. Winch stated last year on behalf of the Republicans, he endorsed Stuart Stein as Chairman of the Board. He said in 1995 the Board can: expect major economic changes from Washington concerning local programs; expect major economic changes from Albany concerning local programs; expect changes requested from the 94,000 people that reside in the County; expect the 1995 Chairman to tweak or change the committee structure and personnel assignments; and expect 1995 to be a difficult but enjoyable year for the 15 Representatives from Tompkins County; Mr. Winch said if the Board is to succeed and he expects it to, the full Board must all be behind the Chairman. On behalf of the Republican minority of the Board, Mr. Winch stated he endorses Mr. Stein as a proven leader. He said he personally looks forward to Mr. Stein's leadership and guidance. It was MOVED by Mr. Proto seconded by Mr. Evans, and unanimously adopted by voice vote, to close nominations. By a unanimous show of hands, Mr. Stein was re-elected Permanent Chairman of the Board. Mr. Stein took the chair as Permanent Chairman. Mr. Stein, Chairman, stated he is touched and honored by all of the kind words that have been said. He said he sees the Board as one Board trying to serve one County, and all members having the best interests of all residents of Tompkins County at heart. He is aware that this will be tested, and hopes everyone will keep in mind, regardless of differences in opinion, everyone acting sincerely and in the best interests of Tompkins County. Nominations were opened for Vice Chairman. Mr. Meskill nominated Ms. Mink as Vice Chair, seconded by Ms. Blanchard. Mr. Meskill stated it is a special privilege and honor to nominate Ms. Mink. She can speak precisely and most influential to any issue. He said during the last twelve months, Ms. Mink has taught him many valuable lessons, including how to get work and get along with County staff and fellow legislators. Besides having the ability to get to the essence of an issue, she has the ability to speak with grace, eloquence and influence and can disagree on an issue and when the debate is over she can go on without any ill feelings and get on to the next year. Ms. Blanchard stated she knew when she joined the Board the time and commitment necessary to be a good Board member was a mighty responsibility, and watching Ms. Mink serve as Vice Chair of the Board and Chair of the Planning, Economic Development and Education Committee, and Leadership Council, and numerous other committee responsibilities has been inspiring. She is responsible for many exciting initiatives this year, and feels she needs to continue. She urged all members to join her in electing Ms. Mink Vice Chair. It was MOVED by Mr. Evans, seconded by Mr. Todd, and unanimously adopted by voice vote, to close nominations. By a unanimous show of hands, Ms. Mink was re-elected Vice Chair of the Board. 4 January 3, 1995 Ms. Mink, Vice Chair, said she looks forward to the coming year. She stated she would like to make the work of the Leadership Council radiate out into the organization and make it a reality. She also would like to focus on economic planning, and be more involved in a constructive public information program so that people in the County can be more involved in what government is all about. She thanked the Board for their support. Approval of Minutes It was MOVED by Mr. Joseph, seconded by Mrs. Schuler, to approve the minutes of October 4, 1994. Ms. Kiefer stated the changes being brought to the floor are being done so at the direction of the Clerk of the Board. Mr. Meskill asked why his copy has the word "no" beside it. Mr. Stein stated it was done by the Clerk, as she felt the changes were something she did not have the authority to change and referred them to the Board. It was MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Mr. Lerner, to insert the date September 6, 1994 after the heading Approval of Minutes. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 14, Noes - 1 (Representative Meskill). MOTION CARRIED. It was MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Mr. Lerner, to amend page seven, Resolution No. 215, to add the following two sentences after the third sentence: The language of the local law was not available when the public hearing was set and no written summary of the proposed changes exists. Even the title of the local law does not reveal that it creates a Department of Finance. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 14, Noes - 1 (Representative Meskill). MOTION CARRIED. Ms. Kiefer brought forward revised wording for Ms. Mink's comments on page two. She said she discussed the changes with Ms. Mink. Ms. Mink said she would rather strike the last sentence from her report rather than revise the wording. It was MOVED by Ms. Mink, seconded by Mrs. Schuler, and unanimously adopted by voice vote, to strike the last sentence on page two. Mr. Stein stated a change was suggested to him to be made to his report on page six under his comments. He stated although the wording may be awkward, it is correct and will stand as it is. However, he accepted the following wording be inserted suggested by Ms. Kiefer under the Chairman's appointment of an Affordable Housing Task Force: change the word "one" to "the sole" and add "and to report within three months." It was MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, to amend Mr. Squires', Comptroller, report on page seven to include in his report, the dollar figure for the unpaid bills. MOTION FAILED FOR LACK OF A SECOND. A voice vote on approving the minutes as amended resulted as follows: Ayes - 15, Noes - 0. MINUTES APPROVED. Mr. Proto asked for the status of the minutes issue that has been raised. He said the question of how many changes are going to be made to the minutes and what constitutes minutes needs to be answered. Mr. Stein stated this is a matter which is under discussion within the Governmental Affairs Committee. He expects to have a resolution by the end of the month. Ms. Mink said the subcommittee dealing with this issue will meet tomorrow to make a recommendation. Privilege of the Floor by the Public No member wished to speak. Privilege of the Floor by the Board Members 5 January 3, 1995 Michael Lane, Representative, District No. 14, stated hundreds of members of the Dryden community came together to celebrate the life of Stephen A. Starr who was a respected and beloved member of the community. He was a dedicated father and protector of his family. He was a teacher and coach of the high school football team, and his life was cut short tragically last week. The coming together of people in Dryden and other places to stand shoulder to shoulder signifies that it will be the act of violence that will be buried, and the joy of one man's life that will be remembered.

RESOLUTION NO. 2 - AUTHORIZING A DEVELOPMENT RESTRICTION FOR THE CREATED WETLAND AT THE OLD CASWELL ROAD LANDFILL SITE (FOR AIRPORT RUNWAY EXTENSION PROJECT) MOVED by Mr. Winch, seconded by Mr. Lane. Ms. Kiefer said assuming this wetland functions well, it is fine that the County follows through and puts a restriction on it to preserve it. She is concerned that we may be restricting the use of this land prematurely. She is concerned that it may cease 7 January 3, 1995 functioning as a wetland, and with that concern in mind, she spoke to County Attorney, to see if something can be written into the resolution before the Board undertakes to preserve it forever. She believes the County Attorney has been waiting for a return call from the Army Corp. of Engineers. It was MOVED by Ms. Kiefer to postpone the resolution, seconded by Mrs. Schuler. Ms. Blanchard said it is her understanding that this is a requirement for the nationwide permit. Mr. Winch stated he would like this resolution to move forward. It was one of the concerns and restrictions from the Army Corp. of Engineers. He said all wetlands are forever changing, and he does not endorse postponing this. He asked that the Board adopt this resolution so that the paperwork can be developed, so the County can do what it has been asked to for the nationwide permit. Mr. Theisen, County Attorney, said if the County is the only party for the restriction, it may allow for rescinding the restriction or amending it. He is in contact with the Army Corp. of Engineers on how that could be done. He said the Corp. wants this done in perpetuity. The Board proceeded with the understanding Mr. Theisen will report on this subject at the January 17, 1995 meeting, and let the Board know if there is a change that needs to be made. A voice vote on postponing this resolution resulted as follows: Ayes - 0, Noes - 15. MOTION FAILED. A voice vote on the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes - 14, Noes - 1 (Representative Todd). RESOLUTION ADOPTED. WHEREAS, a Nationwide Permit was issued by the Department of the Army, Buffalo District, Corps of Engineers on June 17, 1992, which allowed the filling of an approximately 2.48 acre wetland at the Tompkins County Airport as part of the runway extension project, and WHEREAS, a special condition of said Nationwide Permit was that the County must create a 4 - acre wetland at another site to compensate for the filling of the 2.48 acre wetland, and WHEREAS, another special condition of the permit requires that the site of the created wetland must be restricted in perpetuity to exclude any development, now therefore be it RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Public Works Committee, That the County Attorney be and hereby is instructed to draw up the appropriate documents to accomplish said development restriction.

It was MOVED by Mr. Meskill, seconded by Ms. Mink, and unanimously adopted by voice vote, to approve the minutes of the December 20, 1994 meeting with the following corrections recommended by Ms. Kiefer: Page 13 - Insert motion to call the question. It was MOVED by Ms. Mink, and unanimously adopted by voice vote, to call the question. Page 1 - Approval of Minutes - add the following wording: "Chairman Stein asked that discussion of the minutes be limited to five minutes". Also add the following statement after the last paragraph: "Ms. Kiefer stated possible changes to the October 4, 1994 minutes will go beyond the five- minute limit. It was the consensus of the Board to postpone action on the minutes. Mr. Meskill asked that the October 4 minutes be recopied for Board members when submitted for approval." Page 7 - Res. No. 291, fifth sentence, change the language to read: "Ms. Kiefer stated she does not disagree with the twenty percent figure, but is concerned that, e.g. there could be several smaller fare increases close together that would add up to twenty percent or more but that would not trigger this policy. Mr. Lerner agreed with this concern as did Mr. Meskill." Also change the sentence in the same paragraph prior to the vote to read: "Mrs. Livesay suggested that this policy be adopted at this time, 12 January 17, 1995 since some policy is better than none, and refer it back to the Committee to consider the comments that have been made, and come back with appropriate amendments if necessary." Page 2 - Delete the following sentence in Ms. Kiefer's remarks under privilege of the floor: "Ms. Kiefer stated she believes the comments made by Ms. Brantley under privilege of the floor were directed to her resolution, not the one prepared by Mr. Heyman, County Administrator." Page 3 - Change Ms. Kiefer's remarks under privilege of the floor concerning the withdrawal of the resolution entitled Continuation of Employment to read: "She stated that she will not pursue this resolution on the agenda. She said when she first heard the news that several of the Biggs A employees associated with the sick building syndrome were going to be terminated, her intention was to find a way that when a County employee has a Worker's Compensation case that drags on past a year, the County be able to maintain the employee's insurance until Worker's Compensation has made a decision on the case. She said it has become clear how difficult it is to do this. Civil Service Law is involved, and although termination after a year is optional, that Tompkins County has a policy of electing to terminate in order to free up the job line so a permanent employee can take the place. Keeping employees on the rolls for health insurance leaves rolls open for the employee to return, and she was told that to change the process would require renegotiations with the employee unions. She would like to Board to know why she is trying to do this, but there does not seem to be a way to achieve that. Chairman Stein said the presentation from Gary Esolen will follow privilege of the floor by the public. Privilege of the Floor by the Public Alan Cohen, 302 East State Street, and a member of Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, and Advisory Board on Tourism Development, stated he is not speaking on behalf of these groups. He expressed his concerns with the final report by Gary Esolen of Media Revolution, Inc. He said the Advisory Board on Tourism Development reviewed the report and forwarded comments and letters to Mr. Esolen. However, the comments and letters were not incorporated into the report, but the remarks from Richard Driscoll, Executive Director, Community Arts Partnership, were included. He said it is a fine report, but that more work needs to be done. Mary Kane Trochim, former Chair of the Advisory Board on Tourism Development (ABTD), stated she has concerns with the beginning and the end of the report by Gary Esolen, Media Revolution, Inc. She feels the report should mention in relation to the Convention and Visitor's Bureau (CVB) the Davidson -Peterson study and subsequent report, approved by the Board of Representatives, and completed less than two years ago. She also feels there should be reference to the Tourism Advisory Board report of 1990, which included input from all potential players, and which served as the basis for establishing the advisory Board on Tourism Development. She said the 1990 Report, and the ABTD bylaws show striking similarities between the charge, composition, and work docket of the ABTD and the new committee the study team is now proposing. She spoke about Section Six of the report regarding Contracts with the Community Arts Partnership. She feels it is irresponsible and insulting to state or imply that the Community Arts Partnership (CAP) and the arts community "targeted" the hotel tax funds to make up for lost support elsewhere. She said CAP was invited to be part of the tourism discussions by the business community leaders and County Board members during both the redevelopment of the arts council and the establishment of tourism as a major economic component. She corrected the title of Richard Driscoll. He is the Executive Director. She stated that no tourism projects were abandoned. In anticipation of the findings of this study, they were moved to the CVB to be coordinated more effectively with other elements of a total marketing program run by the CVB. 13 January 17, 1995 Chairman Stein acknowledged the attendance of students from Ithaca High School. Miss Sabrina Hussain said the students are required to attend a government meeting for their government class. She said they are nearing their due date for their report. Some students have also been doing a lot of work for the school play: Bye Bye Birdie. Presentation on Tourism Strategy for Tompkins County Ms. Mink, Chair of the Planning, Economic Development, and Education Committee, introduced Gary Esolen, President of Media Revolution. The organization was hired by the Planning, Economic Development and Education Committee to study the relationship with tourism contracting agencies. Mr. Esolen began by thanking the Board for letting him do the study. He said he was not supposed to evaluate the Advisory Board on Tourism Development or look at the Davidson -Peterson study. He said it was a wide -range study connected with a divided and controversial tourism program. In order to be successful, the County will have to move on to make a new private covenant. Mr. Esolen said the first area reviewed was the contracts between Chamber of Commerce to create and operate a Convention and Visitor's several contracts since 1987 that have provided grants of money for the promotion. The following five points were suggested by the consultants oversight and accountability into the contracts: • County Board approve a budget annually • require monthly or quarterly detailed financial reports • the board that governs the CVB should include elected officials • annual audit of the CVB's funds as a separate fund • annual report that includes a narrative He described the procedures in which the audits and reports were prepared for the years 1987 through 1989. Following a thorough review of the financial records, he felt confident that there was not any bad faith and taxpayer money was not spent inappropriately. He said the audit of separate funds is the most important point. Tompkins County and the Bureau. There have been broad purpose of tourism to incorporate government The second area reviewed was the Visitor's Center. Two issues were studied: rental of space from the Chamber of Commerce, and the operations of the Visitor's Center. In regard to the rent, in 1989 the Chamber built a new building; the CVB moved in to more than half the space of the building. The CVB began paying rent which was about fifty (50) percent of the mortgage, plus about sixty (60) percent of the maintenance, utilities, etc. He said a signed agreement does not exist between the Chamber of Commerce and the CVB. He said there is a statement in a letter from the Chamber to the consultants that there is a policy that once a year the Chamber will establish the rent to be paid for the following year. He suggested the County renegotiate the lease and possibly move the CVB to the ground floor, and the County pay 100 percent of the rent at $12.76 per sq. ft. If this arrangement was utilized from the beginning, $30,000 would have been saved per year. Another suggestion is to consider asking the Chamber to grant to the CVB an equity interest in the building. Visitor's Centers are important but should not cost a lot. The purpose of visitor's centers is to put information into people's hands who are in town or local people who are looking for tourist attractions. He described two ways to handle visitor centers: have one location with all the information or have information scattered in different locations. In Tompkins County, there are many attractions, and the information should be available in several locations. He spoke about the staffing operations of the CVB. It is divided into three categories: administration, management, and marketing. (1) Administration is concerned with an orderly fiscal, and efficient clean operation. The responsibility being that meetings are held and minutes are taken and transcribed, financial reports are completed. The CVB is currently well-run administratively. (2) 14 January 17, 1995 Management is the efficient and effective use of resources, including staff time. He feels in this area there are some weaknesses in the CVB. He said one of the problems is the telephone system. There is only one incoming 800 line with roll over capability to telephones in other offices. He suggested consumer inquires be answered by a voice mail system that also provides a printed report. People who wish to have additional information can call the referral number given by the voice mail. He also said that the office space can be restructured to accommodate walk-ins with questions in order to create less interruptions for management staff. He characterized the CVB has being very serviced oriented. The goal is to deliver a service to the visitors already in town. He recommended that the guide which is currently printed on quality paper could be printed by the Ithaca Journal on newsprint. (3) Marketing programs are the most important areas in tourism promotion. He spoke about the motorcoach program. He said the motorcoach program has a nice guide and attends trade shows to sell them. However, he said the best approach to sell motorcoaches is to create sample tours and sell to charter companies. He also spoke about the conference sales program which he feels is becoming more efficient. He suggested some improvements in management tools, such as a computer tickler that reminds you to call back the client, fax back technology to allow information to be received on demand, and periodic sales blitzes. Mr. Esolen said in the area of tourism there is a lack of focus. He stated that during the dialogue in the course of the study, it was mentioned that it should not be unfair and there should be no comparison with other areas such as Syracuse, Lake Placid. He said the best way to have excellent marketing programs is to look around and see who is doing it the best. He gave some examples. He described what a marketing plan for tourism discretionary vacation travel in Tompkins County may look like. He said there are many trip types including city vacations, beach resorts, ski resorts, etc. that are crucial to the potential development and growth of Tompkins County tourism. One unique trip type that is not considered marketable is visiting friends and relatives of Cornell University and Ithaca College students. The second trip type is the touring vacation, and the third is a country resort vacation. The similarity in the market between the two previously mentioned is they are usually elderly people who have the time to travel. He said Tompkins County has three areas for promoting tourism: natural environment, sophisticated community in a relaxed setting, and great educational institutions with a highly educated population. He said education is beginning to be recognized as a tourism program. Seminars are beginning to become a marketing plan. Mr. Esolen reviewed the Community Arts Partnership contracts. He addressed the question of whether the art's is a form of tourism promotion. His opinion is what has been done with the arts has not been effective tourism promotion in Tompkins County. He recommends the continuation to support the arts and other programs for tourism development in the context of a unified tourism promotion program that makes effective use of arts events as part of a strategy to attract and serve tourists. Mr. Esolen discussed the relationship with the Finger Lakes Association. He said it is the only operation he knows that combines resource and management conservation, tourism development, and tourism and marketing promotion. He feels in those areas support should continue; however, he feels the County should change its marketing relationship with the Association. He responded to some of the comments made under privilege of the floor. He agrees that the creation of the Advisory Board on Tourism Development (ABTD) is a step forward in the same direction the consultants are recommending. He feels the Board should include elected officials and become a decision-making body. He said the time has come to forge a new public/private relationship and create a program that no one will ever doubt again. Ms. Mink said in her experience, when good ideas or new suggestions are raised, there is automatically implied criticism that something is wrong with the current operation or procedure. She asked that the County Board keep an open mind and look where the County has come from and where the 15 January 17, 1995 County is going. She said she takes full responsibility for making the Advisory Board on Tourism Development an advisory board. She spoke about her feelings on the report and some of the recommendations. She supports the development of arts, and moving forward with promoting an educational tourism marketing plan. Mrs. Livesay said it has occurred to her that rather than looking at the Finger Lakes region, look at the central New York region. She thought maybe Tompkins County could benefit from a cooperative package with some of the municipalities east of Tompkins County. Mr. Esolen said touring vacations as a tourism promotion could benefit the County if properly planned so that tourists remain in this area for a period of time. Mr. Esolen said he would make himself available as a resource for casual contact. Privilege of the Floor by Board Members No one wished to speak. Withdrawal of Resolution(s) from the Agenda Chairman Stein gave the appropriate committee chairmen permission to withdraw from the agenda the following resolutions: - Establishing Board of Representatives Standards and Expectations for Minutes of Meetings of the Board of Representatives and its Committees - Advisement to Tompkins County Water Purveyors on Public Information Meetings Pertaining to Watershed Rules and Regulations Ms. Kiefer asked why the resolution entitled Advisement to Tompkins County Water Purveyors on Public Information Meetings Pertaining to Watershed Rules and Regulations was being withdrawn. Mr. Evans, Chairman of the Health and Environmental Quality Committee, said concerns were raised by other Board members and will be taking it back to committee. Report from the County Administrator Mr. Heyman said he did not have a report. Report from the County Attorney Mr. Theisen said he also did not have a report. He said he could not report further on the question raised at the last Board meeting concerning the wetland issue. He has made phone calls but is waiting for the calls to be returned. Mr. Theisen said there would be no impact on the delay for answers. The resolution can be amended later if necessary. He asked if there were any questions relating to the memorandum he circulated concerning the Thorntree option. No questions were asked. Report from the County Comptroller Mr. Squires reported he received the final sales tax payment for 1994. He has not received the details on how much the County will retain. He anticipates exceeding the budget estimate by $200,000 for 1994. Chairman's Report and Appointments 16 January 17, 1995 Chairman Stein summarized the following statement which outlines his challenges, goals, and expectations for 1995. He also announced the standing and special committee assignments and responsibilities. (NOTE: These statements represent the opinions of the Board Chairman only, and not necessarily the members of the County Board of Representatives.) CHALLENGES, GOALS AND EXPECTATIONS FOR 1995 Statement by Stuart W. Stein Chairman, Board of Representatives January 17,1995 At the beginning of 1994, I presented a statement to the community outlining the problems and opportunities facing the county for the coming year and my goals for the county legislature. That statement was distributed to all of the towns, villages and the city, as well as to the department heads. Copies were given to the media. Such a statement had never been presented in my twelve years on the County Board, but I felt it was important to tell the community what to expect from this significantly new board, one that had a five new members and a new political majority for the first time in the county's history. Setting out these goals provided direction to the board and staff; in addition, it was intended to provide some way of evaluating, after the passage of time, how well county government was doing. A year has gone by, and I am now ready to evaluate what was accomplished, and to look ahead and set goals for the coming year. 1994 was not an easy year, but the County Board faced many problems and dealt with them. We experienced continuing budget pressures, but under the able guidance of Budget Committee chairman, we were able to pass a budget that essentially matched the inflationary increase in the county. We had to deal with a continuation of several years of over -spending in the Sheriffs budget and with accusations of racism in the jail. Our solid waste program received a severe blow with the overturning of the flow control ordinance by the US. Supreme Court, but we adjusted our tipping fee and severely reduced our operating budget to adjust to the crisis. The construction of the new Recycling Center continued to be attacked by some vocal members of our community, but an independent study of financial projections confirmed the staffs judgments and the project proceeded and now nears completion. We argued at length over whether we should sell a small parcel of land that we owned on the Elmira Road to a developer and what the terms of that sale should be. In addition, four of our county personnel union contracts went through extended negotiations with positive results in all cases. After several years of study and debate, we finally approved the E-911 system which will go into service in mid-1995. We were made more deeply aware, by our public works staff, of the deteriorating condition of our bridges and roads and the high costs involved in maintaining our infrastructure, and allocated more funds as part of a special budget appropriation. Several of our employees brought a multi-million dollar suit, still going on, against the county, individual staff -members and elected officials, and we initiated a study of renovating Biggs A or building new space for DSS and other services. I believe that this County Board and its staff handled these and many other issues competently. This work of government has taken a great deal of energy, and I want the county staff and board members to know how much they are appreciated for their time and efforts of the county's citizens. Too often, we hear only criticism from the public and the media. But from many private conversations I have had with people in the community, I know that many do understand and appreciate how much each of us in the county family has given to public service. 17 January 17, 1995 Goals for 1995 Last year, I stated that I had three primary goals for the county: 1) to gain better control of the county budget; 2) to restructure the way the county government operates, specifically to involve the staff more in decision-making processes and to make our service -delivery programs more efficient and less costly; and 3) to improve the county's economy. I knew then that these three major goals would take some time to achieve - certainly more than one year - but I expected that a good start would be made on all three. It is my opinion that we achieved most of what we set out to do in 1994. For the coming year, I believe that we should continue to focus on the same goals for 1995. To help do this, I have identified a number of specific recommendations, described below: Continuing the Process of Budget Reorganization With a great deal of hard work from the board members, especially Budget chair Eric Lerner, the members of BRAE and the staff, I am gratified that we have made such great strides in reorganizing the budget. The budget process this year was much more open and yielded a budget document that was understandable by the general public. I am also pleased that we were able to keep the tax increase at a level that approximates the increase in the cost of living. But much more needs to be done. and with the able leadership of Eric Lerner who will continue to chair the Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee, I am sure that we can make more progress. This will be at least a two, but more likely a three-year process of budget reorganization. I encourage the B &FP committee to address the following issues in 1995: * Keep close track of the many decreases that may occur during 1995 in state and federal aid to the county. Given the pronouncements of state and federal leaders, it is assumed that there will be significant cut- backs of funds from these sources. While it is impossible to know now what will happen, it is important that the county be prepared to respond with contingency plans to address cutbacks, should they occur. * Begin the process of developing a priority system for funding of county services. This is a complicated effort. It would have to be tied a clear definition of the goals of the County Board, a process which may take some time to accomplish, but which is needed as a basis for many of the difficult budget decisions that lie ahead. * Identify all of the county's budget expenditures for items that benefit only individual municipalities within the county. These include town bridges on town roads, for example. Develop a policy for dealing with these purely town expenditures in light of potential severe budget pressures that may occur in 1995. * Rethink the policies established in the 1994 fiscal plan guidelines, especially the policy that permits departments to retain and carry over to the following year the entire surplus from the previous year. * Explore the establishment of a multi-year budgeting system. * Develop a system which would enable the B&FP and the program committees to analyze specific parts of service delivery programs in greater detail. The purpose of such a system would be to 18 January 17, 1995 let board members identify problems before they get out of hand, or to find places where cost savings could be achieved without affecting the quality of services. While doing this, it is important to work closely with the Partners for Quality effort. * Integrate the process of preparing the Capital Improvements budget more closely with the preparation of the county's operating budget. * Initiate a study of ways to reduce or eliminate the current level of reliance on the property tax as a significant source of funds for county budget purposes. This study should explore the entire range of other pubic funding sources including the admittedly controversial idea of an income tax or a commuter tax. I want to make it very clear, however, that any such new tax, if it is considered, must be firmly linked to a guarantee that the property tax will be reduced or eliminated. Continuing the Process of Restructuring the County Government A major program was begun in mid-1994 to change dramatically the way the county involves its employees in decision-making. This was, of course, our Partners for Quality (PFQ) program. With the guidance of Scott Heyman and Nancy Zahler, and the board leadership of Barbara Mink and Charlie Evans, the Leadership Council was established. It includes staff members representing the broad range of county departments who meet regularly to develop a program to restructure decision-making and work methods in county departments. This program is off to a good start, and will continue through 1995 and beyond. We can expect some results in the coming year to improve efficiency, provide better service, and raise staff morale. I urge the board members and our staff to continue to give strong support to this very important undertaking. This year, I am recommending that we take additional steps to refine and upgrade our governmental structure. Section 31.18 of the County Charter requires that the Board of Representatives consider the appointment of a Charter and Code Revision Commission to make recommendations for revisions. Clearly, we have been remiss in following the intent of this section of our charter. I believe that the time has come to give our charter a good hard look, and I have asked Michael Lane to chair such a special committee. I am asking that Representative Lane's special committee limit itself to a few critical areas. I have been especially concerned about the rapidly increasing complexity of local government, and the growing demands on board members' time and experience. During my past 13 years on the board, it has become painfully clear to me that demands on my time have escalated rapidly. Fortunately, I am able to put in more and more time because I have retired from my regular employment. But I find it difficult to comprehend how other board members, especially those who have full-time jobs and family responsibilities, carry out their responsibilities as legislators. I must assume, also, that these excessive demands on time are making it impossible for many citizens to run for election as a county legislator. While I strongly believe in the concept of volunteer -citizen government as the bedrock of our American system of local governance, perhaps it is time to review how well it is working here in Tompkins County. I think we should open our minds to the possibility of making significant changes in the role of board members, and whether their numbers should be increased or decreased. We should also explore whether we should accept the fact that this role has gone beyond that of a volunteer, and whether we should pay a salary that in some measure reflects the increased level of demands on the legislators. Concurrently, this special committee should examine the experience of several other counties that have an elected executive who manages county government. Personally, I am not enthusiastic about this arrangement in county government, but there may be some advantages that are not apparent. Therefore, I 19 January 17, 1995 believe that we should keep our minds open to this possibility and investigate it so that we can learn more about the benefits and liabilities of an elected executive. I believe that there is one other specific area of our governmental structure that needs to be reviewed - the elected offices of County Clerk and County Sheriff. Again, I know that this is a controversial area, but it seems to me that it is worth exploring various alternatives to the current arrangement to see if there are ways that the county can be more efficient and effective in its provision of services. Most municipalities appoint their clerks and public safety chiefs. These functions are not partisan in nature, and it makes little sense to me that the Clerk or Sheriff should be elected in a partisan contest. Moreover, the demands on these officials increasingly require advanced skills, training and experience to respond to contemporary issues. While it may have made sense to elect these officers in the 19th century when society was simpler, the reason to do so now is much less compelling. Therefore, I am asking that this special committee also look into this section of the charter. Sharpening our Focus on Economic Development At the beginning of 1994, I stated that we must give greater attention to economic development in the county. It is the basis for improving jobs, broadening our tax base, reducing the tax burden on families and business, and, in general, improving the quality of life for all. To address economic development, I reorganized and expanded the planning committee to include education and job training. I intend to retain much of that linkage this year. Barbara Mink led the effort in economic development last year, and accomplished a great deal. She organized and ran two conferences including one on technology transfer from university -based research; she reshaped the coordination of job training activities by arranging the expansion of TCAD staff, with county funding; and she restructured the tourism program and developed closer linkages with the Chamber of Commerce which runs that program. However, I will be taking economic development out of the planning committee this year, and I am creating a special committee to allow us to upgrade our efforts even more, and to focus more forcefully on county leadership in strengthening the economy. Ms. Mink will chair this special committee, and will continue to be the leader, in partnership with me, of our economic development program. Among the many challenges that I am asking to be addressed this year are the following: * Continue to put forth the county's interest in building a more positive climate for managed economic growth. As part of this effort, the committee should continue to build bridges with all of the economic development groups in the county such as the Chamber of Commerce, TCAD, COTABA (at Cornell), and the state's economic development agencies and advisory committees. * Develop closer working relationships with local labor unions to determine how they can participate more fully in economic development programs, what the needs are of the employees that they represent, and how the county can assist in meeting those needs. * Prepare a comprehensive and detailed economic development strategy plan for the county, bringing together the various individual programs that now operate separately. This strategy should include, but go beyond the activities of the current programs, and involve overlooked sectors of the economy such as agriculture, small business, small specialized services, etc. * Focus efforts on businesses and industries now in the county to be sure that we are cognizant of their needs and will help meet them if it is appropriate to do so. Regular contact should be made with our significant employers throughout the year through the existing organizations such as TCAD, but the county should participate in these contacts. 20 January 17, 1995 * Continue to work with Cornell's new office for technology transfer, COTABA, to determine if their is a responsible role for the county government to play in developing new high-tech industries in the county. * Analyze the trends of economic restructuring currently underway in this country, to determine how these will impact the county, where problems may occur and where opportunities may arise. Faculty members from Cornell and Ithaca College who have special knowledge in economic restructuring trends should be tapped for this analysis. * Identify the special needs of the rural towns for economic development, and develop programs in response to these needs. Some speakers at the recent hearings hosted by the Rural Affairs Committee requested county assistance to improve their economies and create jobs to allow the rural residents to remain on their farms and in their homes, instead of having to move to urban areas for jobs. * Determine if there is a growing sector of the economy in this county for services and products that are produced by so-called "lone eagles". These are people who work from their homes in small cities or towns and rural areas such as Tompkins County, but provide those services throughout the country or the world. Attempt to define what needs to be done, if anything, to attract such people to our county. * Continue to build our job training resources, primarily through the coordinating efforts of TCAD, so that the work force can enjoy increased wages from improved skills. In addition to the linkages with BOCES and TC3, the job training programs should work more closely with the high schools in the county, with the local unions, and with social service programs to assure that no opportunity is overlooked to build skills among those that now lack them. In this effort, the county's role is likely to be limited to that of a coordinator and catalyst. * Complete the negotiations and contracts with the Chamber of Commerce, the Finger Lakes Association, and the Community Arts Partnership for each ones' share of our tourism marketing and promotion program financed by room -tax dollars. * Expand our tourism program to include enhancement and development of our tourism resources. I am recommending that a portion of our room -tax dollars be set aside in a tourism development fund to be used to assist private, non-profit or public groups to improve our attractions. These funds may be used, for example, for feasibility studies, plans and market analyses for new tourism projects. This fund would assist those that need a small amount of up -front help to overcome initial barriers to moving a good project ahead. * With the assistance of the staff of the Planning Department, prepare a strategy for better development of our waterfront areas. This should be done, of course, giving great care to the protection and enhancement of the environment. This strategy should reflect the plans currently being prepared by the Canal Recreationway Commission, since our lake is part of the NYS Barge Canal system. Much work has been done already on planning for the waterfronts, but these plans need to be integrated into one comprehensive strategic plan. * Determine if there are opportunities for new businesses to be established in the county that can utilize the recycled material that will be brought to our solid waste recycling facility. Funds were included within the Solid Waste program budget to explore this question m 1994 , They were removed in the middle of the year, however, as part of our budget cut-back. This exploration should be initiated in 1995, in collaboration with TCAD. * Expand the exploration of the future of electronic data processing beyond the internal needs of county agencies. It is important to determine how the county can capitalize on the rapidly expanding 21 January 17, 1995 electronic networks, and to link these advances with our broader economic program. I am asking the existing Electronics Future Committee, which includes board members Lerner and Evans, to take on this responsibility. Regaining Respect for Government In addition to these three primary goals, I am adding a fourth - to gain greater understanding and respect for local government. In both Washington and Albany, there is much anti-government sentiment. While some of this negative reaction undoubtedly is valid, I continue to believe that government is neither bad nor good, but is necessary. I know that our county government can play a constructive role in improving people's lives. County government provides a social services support system that reflects the compassion of those of us who are better off for those among us who need help to survive. In addition, our government must protect the public's health; it must provide for the protection of the public's safety; it must build and maintain the community's infrastructure that provide for the movement of cars, people and goods; it must protect the environment; and it must enhance the education and culture of the community. It must do these things and much more. These are not the normal responsibilities of private enterprise. Our county government can work closely with private enterprise, perhaps more so than it has in the past, but this board and the employees of the county must provide services that are the responsibility of public bodies. But many citizens appear to believe that government is not doing its job of providing these services efficiently and at the lowest cost, and as a result are losing respect for their elected representatives. We must regain that respect, but the only way we can do so is to prove ourselves by our actions. I urge all of the members of this county board to consider this to be a challenge for 1995. Improving our Communications We must also find ways to let the public know what their money is going for, and that they are getting their money's worth from the taxes they pay. This year, I urge that we develop more effective means of communication with town, village and city governments, with local institutions and with the general public. This is a time-consuming job, but I believe that we must give our attention to it. Unfortunately, the news media tend to stress only the negative aspects of county government, not our successes. The hard work of our staff and board members usually goes unnoticed and unappreciated; only the disagreements and the complaints seem to be reported by the media. The following are some of the activities that should be undertaken this year to improve our communications with our constituents: * Continuation and expansion of the special Public Information committee to include additional board members and citizens. This will allow this committee to expand the activities it began in 1994, especially the newsletter which was distributed throughout the county as an insert in local newspapers. If our budget permits, we should continue to publish a county newsletter every three months. * Initiation of regular contacts during the year between the board and the county's town and village governments. This responsibility will be undertaken by the Governmental Affairs Committee, which will continue to be chaired by Beverly Livesay. One or two representatives of that committee should attend meetings of each town and village board several times during 1995 (in addition to the town's representative on the board), to discuss town and village concerns and to answer questions about County Board business. A report of those discussions should be made to the full board either by memo or verbally at regular board meetings. 22 January 17, 1995 * Preparation of written op-ed pieces for the Ithaca Journal on current issues before the board. These would be written by individual board members, most often by committee chairs, concerning important problems or concerns facing the county. These would be similar to the special reports that were made from time -to -time in 1994 by committee chairs and staff (e.g. county bridge and highway maintenance problems, E-911, data processing needs, economic development programs, etc.). While the board members need to know about these issues and profited by the detailed presentations, the public also will benefit from a detailed explanation, and will become more aware of the issues facing county government. The organization and scheduling of these op-ed articles will be a responsibility of the special Communications Committee. * Continuation of the televising of all board meetings and selected committee meetings. Many citizens have told me that they watch the board meetings on TV, and welcome the opportunity. This outreach activity, begun only a few years ago by Barbara Mink, appears to be well-received by the public, and seems to be attracting a growing audience. * Establishment of an awards program for individual county employees or for county programs that have achieved exceptional accomplishments. These may be for service beyond the call of duty, for recommendations that improve service, cost-saving ideas, etc. Awards would be highlighted in the local newspapers, on radio and TV. Committee Changes for 1995 An important way to implement these goals is through the board's committee structure. For the most part, I feel that the organization of standing and special committees for 1994 worked quite well. Nevertheless, there are a few significant adjustments that I will be making that I believe will help us to address more directly the goals that I have set forth for 1995. The functions of four committees will remain essentially the same and will have the same chairs. These are: Budget and Fiscal Policy (Lerner); Solid Waste (Tom Todd); Human Services (Tim Joseph); and Health and Environmental Quality, (Charlie Evans). Each of these committees will continue with the same membership, with a few exceptions. Changes are being made, however, in the remaining four standing committees, and these changes need some explanation. The Public Safety Committee will remain as a standing committee, but I am appointing Peter Meskill as chairman, with Mike Lane as vice-chairman. This is being done solely to respond to the perception of many in the rural areas that this committee is dominated by city interests. I want to say as clearly as possible that I do not agree with this perception, or that the actions of this committee have been biased against rural areas. On the contrary, it is my opinion that Nancy Schuler, the current chair has done an excellent job of running that committee objectively and with sensitivity to rural needs. The transfer of Nancy to the chair of another committee in no way is intended to be a criticism of her good work. Nevertheless, perceptions, while often wrong, can constitute reality to many people. Therefore, I am placing two rural representatives in the chair and vice -chair positions to symbolize our responsiveness. I know that both Peter and Mike will be excellent leaders of this committee. I will also be reorganizing the current Planning, Economic Development and Education Committee. As noted previously, I am removing the economic development function from the committee to provide an even greater focus to the economy in the coming years. A special Committee on Economic Development is being established with Barbara Mink as the chairperson. I will be a member of this committee, and I expect to devote a significant amount of my time to economic development in the coming year. The current PEDE committee is renamed the Planning, Community Development and Education Committee to reflect more closely the Planning Department's increasing involvement in helping our municipalities with development projects such as water and sewer construction and housing rehabilitation. Together with its responsibilities for TC3, libraries, Cooperative Extension, and the arts and cultural programs, this 23 January 17, 1995 committee has a significant set of responsibilities. I have appointed Nancy Schuler to be the chairperson of this important committee. After much thought, and discussions with several board members, I have decided to make a major change in the structure of the Public Works Committee. For several years, this committee has suffered with an exceptionally heavy workload. The variety of issues that it had to address required that it have two meetings each month. This is one of the few committees with such a schedule. For this and other reasons, I am dividing the work of this committee into two parts, and replacing it with two new standing committees: the Transportation Committee and the Facilities and Operations Committee. This new committee arrangement is a more up-to-date reflection of our current operations, and mirrors the way that state government is organized. The Transportation Committee will be responsible for all of the public infrastructure of the county that deals with the movement of people, goods and services. This includes, specifically, roads and bridges, the airport and the bus system. In the future, it may also deal with the movement of information and data. I am appointing Barbara Blanchard to chair this new committee. She has a great deal of experience in the transportation planning and operations areas, as a professional planner and from her previous work on the Ithaca City Council. In addition, she was a member of the Public Works Committee this past year, and is currently in charge of efforts to integrate all of the mass transit systems in the county. With this background, I am confident that she will build this into a vital committee. The new Facilities and Operations Committee will deal with most of the internal functions involved with the operation of county government. The responsibilities for normal building maintenance and construction, formerly in the Public Works Committee, will be in this committee, as will the county's Engineering Depaaiuent (although Engineering will have a large role in serving the Transportation Committee as well). In addition, this committee will be responsible for all other internal services (e.g. data processing, purchasing, etc.) with the exception of personnel matters. A number of these functions will be transferred to this committee from the Governmental Affairs committee, thereby allowing that committee to concentrate on other matters. Dan Winch has a great deal of experience in this area, and I have asked him to chair this new committee. And last, but certainly not the least, is the Governmental Affairs Committee, which will continue to be chaired by Beverly Livesay. While the committee retains the same name, I have asked Beverly to redirect the committee's efforts towards outreach aimed at developing closer coordination and cooperation with local and state governments. As noted above, transferring a number of time-consuming internal administrative functions from this to another committee should permit more attention to be given to this important task. It is especially important that we keep track of changes that will be taking place at the state level, and attempt to influence pending actions that may have significant impacts, both good and bad, on county programs and budgets. As part of this outreach effort we should become more deeply involved in the NYS Association of Counties and similar state organizations. I have not been able to do this during 1994, and look to the members of the Governmental Affairs Committee to take on this task in 1995. In addition, this committee should also give time to developing closer linkages with the city, town and village governments (as noted in the discussion on communication, above). A separate task of this committee is the extremely important responsibility for personnel matters. A separate sub -committee probably will be needed to deal with all of the many complicated personnel decisions that come up throughout the year, as well as with contract negotiations. Two especially important additional tasks for this committee for the coming year are to reactivated our affirmative action program, and to restructure our ethics rules and ethics committee. It's clear that this committee has a full agenda for 1995, but I know that Beverly Livesay is more than capable of leading her committee to accomplish all of this. 24 January 17, 1995 In a category of its own is the Capital Project Committee. It is identified as a separate committee by our charter, with specific guidelines for its activities. A capital project is defined in our charter as "any physical betterment or improvement, including furnishings, machinery, apparatus or equipment...." The capital project budget is established and voted on by the board in a process that is separate from our operating budget. Nevertheless, it can have a significant impact on our operating budget and on our tax rate. Therefore, I am appointing Eric Lerner, chair of the Budget committee also to chair this committee. This should enhance the coordination of the two budget processes. Special Committees with Specific Tasks It is standard for the Board to establish special committees to deal with specific issues that need to be addressed within a set time period. Usually these are committees of Board members, but occasionally they include community members or staff members. These committees play an important role in our governing activities. They focus on a subject that needs special attention, gather information, explore ways to address problems, and develop policies and programs to be considered by the Board. I intend to continue several special committees that now exist for a while longer, and will establish two new special committees. Those that will continue are: 1. The Rural Affairs Committee. The contacts that this committee made with the rural communities with the past three months seem to have been quite successful, and its report of the issues it has identified, together with recommendations, is due at the beginning of February. Preliminary information indicates, however, that there are still a number of issues that need to be explored. Therefore, I am extending the life of that committee until May 31st. It will continue to be chaired by Frank Proto, with the same membership. In addition, I am assigning overview responsibilities of this special committee to the Governmental Affairs Committee, which is charged with developing closer linkages with all of the municipalities in the county. 2. The Biggs Space Study Committee. The work of this committee is nearing completion; a final report and recommendation is likely within two months. This committee will continue until it makes its final report with the same membership of four board members and four staff members, but will be chaired by Barbara Mink instead of me from now on. 3. The Public Information Committee. As noted in a previous section of this statement, I believe that there is a great need to increase our efforts to provide more information to educate the community about issues that we are facing, and about our services and programs. This committee will continue to be co-chaired by two Board members, Charlie Evans and Tim Joseph, who will be replacing Barbara Mink. 4. The Electronics Futures Committee. I am widening the scope of this small committee, and am asking it to look beyond the internal needs of operating county government. I want it to determine what role if any the county should play in increasing the capabilities for electronic communication throughout the county. This includes the needs of our municipalities for data access and information processing, and ways to increase the ability for citizens and organizations to gain access more easily to public information of various kinds. In particular, I would like this committee to give the County Board advice on how improved electronics communication can assist our efforts in economic development. Charlie Evans will continue to chair this committee, and I am suggesting that it be enlarged to include members of the community, in addition to appropriate county staff members. The two new special committees are: 25 January 17, 1995 1. The Charter Review Committee. I have already discussed this committee, to be chaired by Michael Lane, in a previous section of this statement. 2. The Consumer Affairs Committee. From time -to -time, several board members have discussed consumer concerns with me, with the suggestion that the county may have a role to play in protecting consumer interests. During the time that I have been on the board, several consumer concerns have been raised, e.g. item -pricing, TV cable rates and cable programming, the need for a local "better business bureau", etc. Clearly there will be differences of opinion on whether the county should be involved in such issues; I believe it should. Consequently, I am establishing a special committee to explore consumer issues that are county -wide in nature and to bring the Board a report in six months. I have asked Dooley Kiefer to chair this special committee. I have not appointed others at this time, but expect to add board members and representatives from the community to this committee shortly. Other Issues County government is complex, and there are a number of other issues which can only be touched on briefly here. Solid Waste. As I noted in last year's statement, it is important that we recognize that the task before us is to move ahead to do the best job possible to complete our solid waste plan. We made steady progress in doing so in 1994. Our recycling center will be completed and operating within a few months. The market for recyclable material has become much stronger, which suggests that our income projections will be met and possibly exceeded. This should help us to reduce the costs and the fees for this program. By the end of 1995, virtually all of the basic decisions about the solid waste program will have been made, and the county's challenge will be to operate the new system efficiently. I am confident that our competent staff will do that job well. The Sheriffs Department. I am expecting that this will be a quieter year in the relations between the Board and the Sheriff. Last year's arguments have now been settled with compromise by all parties. The new staff position added to the Sheriffs department, with the additional financial controls, is expected to bring about the level fiscal responsibility that the Board was demanding of the Sheriff, just as it demanded this of all department heads. The rural areas need not worry about having adequate protection for their safety. I am convinced that there are adequate resources available to provide the level of security that all of our citizens need. I believe that all Board members are committed to that, regardless of whether they come from the city or the towns. Human Services. It is expected that funding for the entire range of human services will be severely threatened during the coming year. Without knowing what the state and federal governments will do, it is not possible to make contingency plans. But I believe that we must affirm our intention to assure that these services which protect those in most need in our county will remain intact. This may be our most significant challenge in 1995. Road and Bridge Maintenance. Over the past few years, the issue of declining maintenance of our roads and bridges was raised by the Commissioner of Public Works. The Board was made aware that continuing decreases in the public works department budget has caused the postponement of maintenance and the construction of capital projects. If this continues, it is feared that this will lead to severe problems and increased costs in the future. The Board responded in the 1994 budget by approving one of the largest special requests to increase the level of funding for road maintenance. I believe that we should explore this issue more thoroughly during the coming year, and I have asked the Transportation Committee, under the leadership of Barbara Blanchard, to do so. 26 January 17, 1995 Transit Consolidation. The development of public mass transit in this rural area is one of our real success stories. However, there is too much confusion for the public about the services provided by the various bus systems in our county. Integration of services needs to be addressed through consolidation and coordination. This process was begun in 1994, and I expect that there will be major steps taken this year to achieve the goal of one consolidated system to serve the entire county. Highway Planning. The newly established Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), funded by the federal government, coordinates all of the major transportation planning for the county. It has given us much greater resources to enable us to address our transportation needs. These involve more than roads, and include bikeways, hiking paths, and other alternative forms of movement. As a result of some of these efforts, significant funding from the ISTEA (Federal Transportation Act) program was awarded for these alternative projects in the county during 1994. Also during the past year, the MPO staff organized an unprecedented effort to involve the community in decision-making. This open community involvement process has given a new look to transportation planning, and I am sure that this approach will continue. It will bring about broader acceptance to programs which will improve the basic infrastructure for movement of people, goods and services. Housing and Community Development. With the leadership of the County Planning Depaltwent, much progress was made in 1994. Several of our rural towns benefited from large federal grants obtained for them by the county to rehabilitate existing housing for low-income families and the elderly. Assistance was also provided in seeking and obtaining federal grants for water and sewer extensions. The Planning Department will be giving continued attention during the coming year to improving housing conditions in the county, and to assisting communities, especially our rural towns, upgrade their basic services. Board Relations with the Business Community. In my statement to the Board one year ago, I commented that, "productive dialogue has been difficult recently with some portions of the business community", and that, "I will make a personal effort to find the basis for mending strained relations with these and other groups in our county". I believe that we have come a long way in bringing government and business closer together. I was pleased and gratified to receive the "bridge -builder" award from the Chamber of Commerce last month, in response to my efforts to work more closely with them. In addition, Barbara Mink and I have worked closely with the Tompkins County Area Development organization, participating fully in its activities. We have also met with the local labor union representatives on a number of occasions to assist them with their concerns. We will continue to build bridges with these and other groups during the coming year, and encourage all Board members to do the same. County Board Meetings. And finally, it may be recalled that I promised to try to keep our meetings from going on too long and lasting beyond 8:30. I think we did pretty well with this. I can recall only three or four meetings that went beyond that time; this was balanced by several meetings that ended well before 8:30. But this is a process that needs continual attention and improvement. Despite the training that we received at several retreats, many of us still need to keep our statements brief and to the point, and some committee reports should be curtailed to include only the most relevant issues. I hope that we can shorten our meetings without losing the ability to discuss and debate issues fully. While this has been a somewhat lengthy exposition of the wide range of activities and issues that confront the County Board, it has by no means covered everything. County government is very complex, and gets more so every year. I hope that this statement provides some understanding of what lies ahead for the year, and some guidance for approaching these issues. As I said last year, I am determined that this Board, working together, will face these challenges and achieve these goals, and that we will regain the confidence of our constituency. Again, I can say that we welcome these challenges. Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Health and Environmental Quality Committee 27 January 17, 1995 Mr. Evans, Chairman, said the committee met this morning and had a report from Alpha House. The education program was discussed. In the last five years 250 people have received their GED (Graduate Equivalency Diploma). Outpatient clinics were also discussed. Alpha House stated certain conflicts with different agencies have been resolved. They also discussed a survey and the results. The survey claims that there is a 90 percent success rate for people who have completed the course. The committee also heard a report from the Health Planning Council. Their meetings are held on the third Thursday of every month, and are held in the Rice Conference Room. At the next Council meeting, speakers will be present to make a presentation on breast cancer awareness. Mr. Lerner said he continues to have reservations with the proposed Alpha House resolution on the agenda. He stated he is pleased to be a member of the Health and Environmental Quality Committee this year. He hopes the committee will look at the whole array of substance abuse issues in Tompkins County.

SEQR ACTION: EXEMPT OR TYPE II (NO FURTHER ACTION NECESSARY) Report and Appointments from the Public Safety Committee Mrs. Schuler, Chair, said the committee met January 5. The committee heard a presentation by Deputy Shippos the D.A.R.E. Officer. A lengthy discussion followed. She said the Sheriff will be bringing a plan for his proposal concerning the COPS Ahead grant in February. Mrs. Livesay asked about the COPS Ahead grant. She said from what she has read that it was being evaluated by how the department has operated. She suggested it be looked at in terms of should the depai lnient operate in a different way. Mrs. Schuler said it depends how community policing is defined in the rural areas and the City. She said the committee hopes to receive ideas before applying for the grant.

It was MOVED by Mrs. Schuler, seconded by Mr. Winch, and unanimously adopted by voice vote, to appoint the following people to the Fire, Disaster, and EMS Advisory Board for terms that expire December 31, 1997: Walter J. Groman, Town of Dryden representative (Delegate) William J. Harding, Town of Dryden representative (Alternate) Richard J. Neno, Town of Enfield representative (Delegate) Carl D. Newhart, Town of Enfield representative (Alternate) Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Solid Waste Committee Mr. Todd said he neglected to mention under privilege of the floor that the desulfurization number two unit at Milliken Station came on line today. The second unit will come on line in the spring. Mr. Todd, Chairman, said the committee met January 12. The committee discussed the Recycling drop-off centers, but no action was taken. The committee would like Frank Proto present at an upcoming meeting to discuss this subject. The committee also discussed the property value and business 33 January 17, 1995 income protection program. The committee also hopes to resolve this issue at an upcoming meeting. In addition, the policy on solid waste financing was discussed. He asked Mr. Lerner to elaborate and introduce the proposed resolution on the subject. Mr. Lerner said the short-term work for the committee was to help develop the County's response to flow control. The long-term work was to develop a policy for solid waste financing which resulted in the resolution being proposed. RESOLUTION NO. 14 - ESTABLISHING POLICY ON SOLID WASTE FINANCING MOVED by Mr. Lerner, seconded by Mr. Todd. Ms. Kiefer said all the revisions approved were not included in the resolution. Ms. Kiefer noted all the revisions which were accepted as friendly amendments and incorporated in the resolution. Mr. Proto asked if the County needs to remediate the situation at the Caswell landfill or will the annual fee pay for the cost. Mr. Lerner was uncertain not knowing the facts. Mr. Proto thought it would be helpful to address some of the concerns by the public if the amount of the fee collected from tax exempt entities was made available. Mr. Lerner said it is possible. Approximately $300,000 is collected from tax exempt entities and if not collected would result in about a $6 increase for the annual fee. Mrs. Schuler said she would support the annual fee for the first time because it states that recyclables are not being charged. Mr. Lane followed up on the discussion about the $300,000. He said if the $300,000 was not collected from the not-for-profit agencies, there would be no reason for the annual fee which would result in an increase in the property tax bill. Mr. Stein asked how the task force would be appointed. Mr. Lerner said either by the Solid Waste Chairman or the Chairman of the Board. A voice vote resulted as follows on the resolution: Ayes - 15, Noes - 0. RESOLUTION ADOPTED. WHEREAS, it is desirable for the County to establish stable long-term policies on solid waste financing, now therefore be it RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Solid Waste Committee, That this Board establishes the following policies regarding the financing of solid waste programs: 1. The County will continue the policy of not using local tax dollars to fund solid waste programs, instead, the three primary revenue sources will be recycling revenues, the disposal fee and the annual solid waste Fee. 2. To the extent possible the costs of recycling shall be paid for through income from the sale of recycled materials. The County will minimize recycling costs by obtaining maximum tonnages of recyclable materials and selling them for the highest possible prices. When it is profitable, the County will pay high volume customers for desirable recyclable materials. No separate fees shall be charged for curbside residential recycling collection. 3. The disposal fee is intended to fully cover the costs of trash disposal. People should only pay proportionately for what they dispose of. The Solid Waste Manager in consultation with the appropriate committee chair to which Solid Waste reports will continue to have autonomy in adjusting the disposal fee to be competitive relative to market conditions. 4. The Annual Fee is needed to cover remaining costs, including but not limited to landfill closure, recycling collection, and public education. This fee is preferable to property tax because it is also charged to tax-exempt entities. A task force will be appointed to carefully review and make a recommendation by June 30, 1995, of the fairness of the fee structure. The County will continue to advocate for State Legislation to authorize special Solid Waste Districts. SEQR ACTION: TYPE 11-15 Mr. Todd continued his report by giving a brief update on the construction of the Recycling and Solid Waste Center. He said the target date for startup is March 6. He also gave highlights of the press release concerning Tompkins County Conducting Post -Closure Activities at Caswell Road Landfill. He 34 January 17, 1995 said the main problem with the overflow of leachate collected by the system is related to all the snow and rain last year. He said it has not been conclusively established if the landfill has contaminated the well that has been mentioned in the news. He said in the ten years the landfill has been monitored, contamination material (TCE) has not been detected. Mr. Evans continued discussing the subject, and said last year there was a problem with the road deteriorating in addition to a poor working relationship with the hauler. He said since then, these issues have been corrected. As far as he knows there has not been any overflow this year. He corrected a misunderstanding with the monitoring. He said the County is forever responsible for the monitoring at the landfill. Ms. Eckstrom has told him that in the Spring, the Solid Waste Division will be looking at a permanent solution for processing the leachate. Report from the Public Works Committee Mr. Winch, Chairman, said the committee met just before the Board meeting to approve final audit payments. He said since the Public Works Committee has been split this year, he will work with the other chairman to coordinate meeting schedules to accommodate the audit process. Report from the Transportation Services Committee (new) Ms. Blanchard, Chair, said the committee will hold its first meeting January 25 at 8 a.m. The meeting schedule for 1995 will be the third Wednesday of the month at 8 a.m. in Board Chambers. Report from the Leadership Council Ms. Mink, Chair, said about 70 employees signed up for facilitator training; however, there is only a need for 20 employees. The Department of Social Services and Public Works Department are trying to get an organizational committee together to see what projects should be focused on. Report from the Affordable Housing Task Force Ms. Blanchard, Chair, said she will be meeting with the last focus group on the first Wednesday in February. The report will be completed following that meeting. Report from the Rural Affairs Committee Mr. Proto, Chairman, said the next meeting is January 23 at 8:15 a.m. The report is expected to be delivered by the first Board meeting in February with a presentation. Presentation of Resolution by the Chairman of the Board RESOLUTION NO. 15 - RECOGNITION OF THE SERVICE OF COUNTY HISTORIAN MARGARET HOBBIE MOVED by Mr. Stein, seconded by Mrs. Schuler, and unanimously adopted by voice vote. WHEREAS, in December Margaret Hobbie of Ithaca completed eleven years of service as County Historian and Director of the DeWitt Historical Society of Tompkins County, during which years the County Museum gained widespread recognition for the quality, availability, and usefulness of the artifacts and records of local history which it collects, preserves, and displays, and 35 January 17, 1995 WHEREAS, under her leadership, the museum acquainted teachers and schoolchildren, town historical societies and historians, immigrant and neighborhood groups, families and individuals with how they can preserve and make use of their own photos, records, and recollections, and WHEREAS, the society and museum published books and a lively newsletter, mounted numerous exhibits, and conducted workshops, tours, and public programs that helped bring the County's past to life, and WHEREAS, in addition to building a strong professional staff, and a loyal cadre of volunteers and members, she served the wider community through service as a parent, Rotarian, in the Chamber of Commerce, and as a leader in the County tourism effort, and WHEREAS, her work was recognized when the DeWitt received the coveted Governor's Arts Award in 1990 as "one of the best administered and most innovative of the upstate historical societies," and the society's strength was shown in 1993 when the museum moved into secure renovated quarters and launched a drive to finance the relocation and expand its education program, now therefore be it RESOLVED, That the Board of Representatives formally thanks Margaret Hobbie for her devoted service to the residents of our County. SEQR ACTION: TYPE II -15 Adjournment On motion the meeting adjourned at 8:20 p.m. INFORMATIONAL STATEMENT ON THE 1995 SMALL CITIES PROGRAM JANUARY 17, 1995 BACKGROUND ON THE PROGRAM The Housing and Community Development Act was first approved by Congress in 1974. The Act was subsequently amended on several occasions, with the most recent amendment in 1990 as part of the National Affordable Housing Act. Under provisions of the amended Act, communities continue to be eligible for grant funds through the "Small Cities Program". Funding under this program, as before, is on a competitive basis, with communities competing with other applicants for the available funds. The primary objective of the Community Development Program is the development of viable urban communities, including decent housing and a suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income. Consistent with this primary objective, the federal assistance provided is for the support of community development activities, which are directed toward the following specific objectives: ➢ Elimination and prevention of slums and blight; ➢ Elimination of conditions detrimental to health, safety and public welfare; ➢ Conservation and expansion of housing; ➢ Expansion and improvement of the quantity and quality of community services; ➢ More rational utilization of land and arrangement of land uses; ➢ Reduction in isolation and concentration of income groups within communities; ➢ Restoration and preservation of historic structures; and ➢ Stimulation of private investment and community revitalization to alleviate physical and economic distress. ELIGIBLE ACTIVITIES 36 January 17, 1995 Funds received under this Act may be used to undertake activities which include the following: ➢ Acquisition of property which is: • Blighted, underdeveloped or inappropriately developed; • Appropriate for conservation or rehabilitation • Needed for eligible public works or other public purposes. ➢ Construction or installation of public works and facilities; ➢ Rehabilitation of buildings; ➢ Clearance of unsound buildings; ➢ Economic development projects; ➢ Homeownership assistance; ➢ Special projects to assist mobility of handicapped persons; ➢ Sale of property acquired by the program; ➢ Provision of public services; ➢ Payment of local share of other federal programs ➢ Relocation payments and assistance; and ➢ Activities necessary for developing plans, management capacity and payment of administrative cost of the program. However, there is a provision that activities which are in themselves eligible must also meet other HUD restrictions. Most particularly, activities must comply with requirements regarding benefit to low and moderate income persons. It is a threshold requirement that every program benefit a minimum of 70 percent low income persons. Also, due to the competitive nature of the program, activities must fully address HUD rating criteria. SMALL CITIES PROGRAM Federal regulations outline program requirements and HUD's procedure for rating and ranking applications. These regulations recognize that the needs of communities vary widely, and therefore, provide for two types of application - comprehensive and single purpose. Communities may apply under either (but not both) of these application categories. Comprehensive Grant Program A comprehensive program must meet all of the following criteria: ➢ Address a substantial portion of the identifiable community development needs within a defined area or areas; ➢ Involve two or more activities that bear relationship to each other, excluding administration, planning, and management, and which either in terms of support or necessity are carried out in a coordinated manner; and ➢ Have beneficial impact within a reasonable period of time. Applications are rated and scored against each of the following factors: Points Need- absolute number poverty persons 75 Need- percent of poverty persons 75 Program impact 400 Outstanding performance in: Fair Housing 40 Local equal opportunity efforts 25 Maximum total 615 37 January 17, 1995 Each applicant must select four program design criteria from among the following ten. HUD measures the impact of the program on the identifiable needs in relation to the amount of funds requested for each of the program design criteria selected. 1.) Supports comprehensive neighborhood conservation, stabilization, and/ or revitalization. 2.) Provides housing choice within the community, either outside areas with concentrations of minorities and low and moderate income persons, or in a neighborhood which is experiencing revitalization and substantial displacement, as a result of private reinvestment, by enabling low and moderate income persons to remain in their neighborhood. 3.) Supports the expansion of housing for low and moderate income persons by providing additional housing units not previously available. 4.) Addresses a serious deficiency in a community's facilities. 5.) Expands or retains employment opportunities. 6.) Attracts or retains business which provide essential services. 7.) Removes slums or blighted conditions. 8.) Resolves a serious threat to health or safety. 9.) Supports other federal or state programs being undertaken in the community, or deals with the adverse impact of another recent federal or state action. Other federal or state program actions must be of substantial size or impact in the community in relation to the proposed program. 10.) Supports energy production or conservation. Single Purpose Grant Program A Single Purpose Grant may provide funds for one or more projects, each consisting of an activity or a set of activities, and designed to meet a specific community development need. Funds are available to address serious problems with housing, public facilities which affect the public health and safety, or economic development. If a Single Purpose Grant application has more than one activity, the activity that directly addresses the need must represent at least a majority of funds requested. Projects are rated and scored against each of the following factors: Points Need - absolute number of poverty persons 75 Need - percent of poverty persons 75 Program impact 400 Outstanding performance in: Fair Housing 40 Local equal opportunity efforts 25 Maximum total 615 To receive the highest program impact rating, a public facility project must: 1.) Address a need that is serious (i.e., a threat to health and safety) and one that requires prompt attention. That need must be documented by a third party; 2.) Benefit a large number of persons in relation to the amount requested; 3.) Resolve the identified problem completely; and 4.) Have no other obstacles to program implementation. 38 January 17, 1995 Single purpose housing rehabilitation programs must be marketable given the income characteristics of the neighborhood/municipality, leverage private funds, and have an absence of implementation obstacles. Single purpose economic development projects must leverage private investment, retain or create jobs, and have a strong evidence of financing commitment. It is considered especially advantageous to establish a revolving fund with proceeds used for further economic development purposes. It is extremely important that the necessity and appropriateness of the Small Cities assistance be demonstrated when used for an economic development project(s). Other Factors/Considerations In addition to criteria identified above, the following factors will influence program rating: 1.) Environmental considerations; 2.) Previous actions taken by the applicant and local funds contributed; 3.) Displacement required; and 4.) Past CDBG performance, if applicable. MULTI-YEAR PROGRAMS In 1995, HUD has reintroduced the ability to apply for a multiple year commitment. Each year's program must "stand on its own" and HUD will require that second and third year applications be submitted but grants will be awarded on a non-competitive basis if the overall program is approved. Multi-year commitments are available for both types of grants. AVAILABLE FUNDS The 1995 Small Cities Program, as administered by the Buffalo Area Office has a total projected funding level of $51,114,000. Maximum funding levels have been established as follows: Total Individual Grants Single Purpose Program $37,772,300 (85%) $400,000 Comprehensive Program $ 6,665,700 (15%) $900,000 The Area Office, however, can adjust the above funding amounts down to 75% for Single Purpose Grants and up to 25% for Comprehensive Grants. The new requirement that Comprehensive programs receive a minimum program impact score may increase the Single Purpose amount available, if an insufficient number of Comprehensive programs receive the minimum program impact score. Counties may apply for up to $600,000 under the Single Purpose Program, provided not more than $400,000 is allocated to any single community. OTHER REQUIREMENTS In addition to the Small Cities application, an applicant must have a Community Development Plan, Citizens Participation Plan, and Antidisplacement and Relocation Assistance Plan on file. These do not have to be submitted to HUD, but must be available for public review. For projects that contain a housing element, an abbreviated Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) must be prepared. This CHAS must be submitted to HUD either before or with the Small Cities application. Applications must be submitted by February 21, 1995. 39 February 7, 1995 Regular Meeting Public Hearing - Tompkins County's Small Cities Community Development Block Grant ICDBG) Application and Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy Chairman Stein called the public hearing to order at 5:30 p.m. concerning Tompkins County's Small Cities Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Application and Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy. Chairman Stein introduced James Hanson, Planning Commissioner. Mr. Hanson explained this public hearing concerns the 1995 application for the Small Cities Community Development Block Grant program. He said the grant application this year is being made for economic development in the amount of $600,000. He said the County has been the recipient of three other H.U.D. grants in the past four years. Karl Heck, Community/Economic Development Coordinator, stated the County's homeownership programs continue to be successful, and are ongoing. This is Tompkins County's first attempt to apply for an economic development grant. He said the County is currently working with three companies. The companies' proposals would create jobs for low to moderate -income people in Tompkins County. The administration of the grant would be done through the Tompkins County Planning Department. The application deadline is February 21, with a response expected from H.U.D. within 75 days. Chairman Stein asked if anyone else wished to speak. No member of the public wished to speak. Ms. Kiefer asked if Tompkins County has ever done this before with any other enterprises, and how were these three companies located. Mr. Heck stated Tompkins County has never applied for economic development funds before. These companies were located by advertising with the Ithaca Journal, Tompkins County Area Development, and the Chamber of Commerce. Ms. Mink stated this is a good time to apply for economic development grant funds. She also feels more publicity needs to be done on the revolving loan funds. Chairman Stein made the clarification that this is not the first time economic development funds have been applied for in Tompkins County. The City of Ithaca has applied for and received grants in the past for economic development. This is the first time, however, that the funds have been applied for by Tompkins County. Chairman Stein declared the public hearing closed at 5:36 p.m. Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag and Roll Call of Members Members and guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. Present: 15 Representatives (Ms. Kiefer was excused at 8:15 p.m.). Approval of Minutes It was MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Mr. Evans, to approve the minutes of November 22, December 13, and December 27, 1994; and January 3 and 17, 1995. It was the consensus of the Board to include the following changes in the minutes: 40 February 7, 1995 November 22, 1994: Add the following to the last paragraph on page 13: "with a breakdown of costs and a schedule of what needs to be done and when to justify specific dollar requests before she can vote funding." December 13, 1994: To replace the wording in the County Attorney's statement " If Thorntree Hill Associates does not get an extension of the option they cannot proceed with development..." with the wording: "He tried to get clarification on this from the City, but they said they could not give a definitive answer." December 27, 1994: To include the following wording in Mr. Hoffman's comments under privilege of the floor: "noting that the regulations call for an involved agency to make SEQR findings." January 17, 1995: It was MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, to amend comments made by Mr. Gary Esolen of the Media Revolution concerning his report to the Board on tourism. This MOTION FAILED by a lack of a second. A voice vote on the minutes as corrected resulted as follows: Ayes - 15, Noes - 0. MINUTES APPROVED. Privilege of the Floor by the Public Yvonne Bartlett, 8963 County Road, Interlaken, and Depai tment of Social Services employee, spoke concerning sick building syndrome. Ms. Bartlett stated she has been back to work since September, and although the Department has made attempts to remove all of the NCR forms from the office, they still exist in some of the files. Ms. Bartlett expressed concern over a pesticide that she believes may have been used in the building, and feels it may have contributed to the chemical sensitivity problem alleged. She asked that the carpet be tested in her office to see if there is any evidence of a pesticide. Charles Evans, a Board member who is acting as a contact person on this subject, stated he spoke with Ms. Bartlett prior to the meeting, and will be discussing her concern with Mary Pat Dolan, Department of Social Services Commissioner, and Frank Croteau, Health and Safety Officer, to see what can be done. Barbara Mahoney, 477 Hayts Road, and Department of Social Services employee, said she temporarily returned to work, but because the ventilation equipment was not working properly, she could not tolerate the building and had to leave. She said she cannot get her medical bills paid because her worker's compensation case it still controverted. She asked that the Board help to stop her worker's compensation case from being controverted. Robert Hackman, Licensed Acupuncturist, stated he has been treating Ms. Mahoney (previous speaker) for approximately one year. He said while she was not working she improved significantly. He said her health has declined since she went back to work. He stated the financial stress these workers have been under does not help their medical condition. He asked that the Board assist in providing some sort of financial support to these employees. Paul Dickson, 120 White Church Road, spoke concerning the Annual Solid Waste Fee. Mr. Dickson stated he is the Director of the Brooktondale Camp and Retreat Center, which is a ministry of the New York State Ministry of the Nazarene. He said the Camp understands the solid waste issues that have been raised in Tompkins County, and has fully cooperated with the County's program. He stated that the Camp is only open four weeks out of the entire year, and only during that time does the Camp generate any waste. He said the Annual Solid Waste Fee places a financial burden on the not-for-profit 41 February 7, 1995 camp. Mr. Dickson requested that a review of the mechanism or methodology used in determining the Annual Fee be reviewed for those who are not-for-profit, and for those that are not in operation full-time. Mr. Todd, Chairman of the Solid Waste Committee, stated that Mr. Dickson's case, as well as the question of the overall fairness of distribution of the Annual Solid Waste Fee is on the next Committee agenda. Report from the Leadership Council Ms. Mink, Chair, displayed what it takes to get a contract signed in Tompkins County. It is an incredibly lengthy process. A quality team is working on shortening the process to hopefully have a more streamlined process in getting contracts signed. They will gather information, analyze the information, and figure out how things can be shortened up. The Department of Social Services and the Department of Public Works have similar programs, but as they are large departments, it will take more time to complete. She said this is an example of the kinds of activities being worked on to improve the County's efficiency. Privilege of the Floor By Board Members Mr. Totman, Representative, District No. 9, thanked the Medicaid Transportation Task Force for their work in looking for alternative transportation methods in order to save dollars. He is encouraged by events in Albany and feels Tompkins County should look at cutting out some of the things that are not being mandated by the State. Report by the Special Wal-Mart DEIS Committee Mr. Evans, Chairman, reported the Committee will meet sometime during this month or early March to review the DEIS that has been submitted to the City. He said he will be away during part of this time and Barbara Blanchard can be contacted if a need arises. Mr. Meskill, District No. 15 Representative, stated he never received a copy of any reports or correspondence on the Wal-Mart subject prepared by the Special Committee. Mr. Evans stated all of this information is at the Planning Depaltnient, and he will ask James Hanson, Planning Commissioner, to provide Mr. Meskill with copies. Mr. Evans stated the problem is that the Committee works under a very short time period and it might be easier if anyone is interested, to attend the review sessions with the Committee to get the information first-hand. Mr. Meskill asked if the Committee is empowered to make a decision on behalf of the Board or County. Mr. Stein stated that the Committee is only empowered to make a decision on behalf of the Committee, not the Board or County. Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Representative, reported on a February 2 meeting that was held at the Caroline Town Hall sponsored by the Tompkins County Public Library, Finger Lakes Library System, State of New York, and the Southern Tier Business Development Institute. The County received a grant to prepare a seminar to introduce people to the topic of how to start a business. Mr. Proto said the meeting was well attended, and there is a great interest for economic development in Tompkins County. Mrs. Livesay, District No. 11 Representative, commented on remarks made by Representative Totman. She stated that the subject of mandates has been looked into and suggested he read the report prepared by the Mandate Task Force of the Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee. 42 February 7, 1995 Ms. Kiefer, District No. 10 Representative, commended Mrs. Schuler and Ms. Blanchard for providing the background information for the resolutions that appear on the agenda under their committees. Report from the Rural Affairs Committee Mr. Proto, Chairman, reported on the Committee's activities since being created October 4, 1994 by Chairman Stuart Stein. Mr. Proto stated in addition to submitting a copy of the Report to Chairman Stein, he also had copies of the Report placed on Members' desks prior to the meeting. He stated that a copy is being mailed to each municipality, the Public Library, the press, and all Committee members. A copy is also on file in the Board Office. Mr. Proto acknowledged the Committee Members: Paul Bonaparte -Krogh, Michael Lane, Cheryl Nickel, Jean Owens, George Totman, and Mildred Warner. The Committee has been assisted by Diane Crews of the Rural Alliance Initiative Program. The Committee held ten meetings, four public forums, including one with the Municipal Official's Association. The meetings were well attended, and summaries are on file. Mr. Proto stated the three items that were mentioned the most were the Sheriff's Department road patrol, solid waste, and transportation - roads and bridges. Sheriff's Department - many areas do not have their own police force, while the City of Ithaca does, and so what the Sheriff's Department does matters less to City of Ithaca residents. In the rural areas where there is a police force, it is minimal. There is a need to improve and facilitate coordination or coverage of services/patrol districts between Sheriff and town and village police where they exist. Transportation, Roads and Bridges and Public Works - transportation, roads and bridges, and public works in general are considered necessary County enterprises. There needs to be better communication, long-term planning, and sharing of equipment. There were also concerns expressed over the closing of several bridges throughout the County. Solid Waste - the key issues the Committee heard concerning solid waste included the potential closing of rural drop-off centers, unhappiness with the Annual Fee, and backyard burning. Mr. Proto stated there is a problem in getting information out to the community because not everyone gets the Ithaca Journal or TV cable, so the Committee feels there needs to be better communication. Mr. Proto stated there were some things that the Committee heard nothing of such as health care, library services, land -use planning, senior and elder housing. And although the Committee did not hear concerns relating to these subjects, it was felt that these are important issues. Mr. Proto said the Committee has been extended to June 30, 1995 by Chairman Stein. Ms. Mink stated the County does have a public newsletter that is published quarterly, and that effort will be continuing in 1995. Any suggestions on how to better distribute the newsletter can be made to Representatives Evans or Joseph of the Public Information Committee. Mr. Lane, Member of the Committee, thanked Mr. Proto and other members of the Committee for their hard work thus far. He stated that being a member of this Committee has been the most educational experience he has had in his first year on the Board. He recommended that the public forums continue. Mr. Totman, Member of the Committee, agreed with comments made by Mr. Proto and Mr. Lane. He said he felt the public forums were a very positive experience for the County. He received comments from the public that they enjoyed expressing their views to the Committee. 43 February 7, 1995 Affirmation of Resolution(s) Not Requiring Board Action Chairman Stein gave the appropriate committee chairmen permission to withdraw from the agenda the following resolution(s) with final committee action being affirmed: CA001-95 - Authorization to Accept Grant Award, to Contract with NYSDSS and the Day Care Council, and Budget Adjustment - DSS CA002-95 - Authorization to Accept Grant Award, to Contract with the American Red Cross - Tompkins County Chapter, and Budget Adjustment - DSS CA003-95 - Budget Adjustments - Various Depailiuents CA004-95 - Authorization to Contract with the Town of Enfield for Circuit Rider Services CA005-95 - Authorization to Contract with Carlson Associates for HUD Small Cities Grant - Writing and Administrative Advisory Services CA006-95 - Authorizing a Consent to Assignment for Rental Car Concession Agreement from the Hertz Corporation to a Licensee - Tompkins County Airport Addition of Resolution(s) to the Agenda On motion of the appropriate committee chairman and duly seconded and unanimously adopted by voice vote, the following resolutions were added to the agenda: Authorization to Execute Quit Claim Deed Authorizing a Consent to Assignment of Rental Car Concession Agreement from the Hertz Corporation to a Licensee - Tompkins County Airport Chairman's Report and Appointments Chairman Stein had no report. Chairman Stein made the following appointments to the Electronic Future Committee: Charles Evans, Board of Representatives (Chairman) Eric Lerner, Board of Representatives Dean Eckstrom, County Data Processing Jim Skaley, County Planning Janet Steiner, Tompkins County Public Library Jean Currie, South Central Research Library Steve Worona, Cornell - OIT Nancy Wilson, Community Member Bill Gilligan, Community Member Robert Manvell, TST BOCES John Efroymson, City of Ithaca Douglas Foster, Alternate Dr. John R. Conners, Tompkins Cortland Community College Vacancy, NYNEX Vacancy, Ithaca Journal There was concern raised why NYNEX and the Ithaca Journal were selected to have representatives on the Committee. Chairman Stein stated they were selected because of the size of the organizations. It was suggested that other companies be considered to be included in the membership of this Committee. Chairman Stein said this will be discussed. 44 February 7, 1995 Chairman Stein stated he would like an executive session to discuss the State audit. Report from the County Administrator Scott Heyman reported the auction of foreclosed properties in Tompkins County was held on February 3 in the Old Jail Conference Room. This will be the last time the auction is held there as the capacity of the room was exceeded. He said for the first time in eleven years there was a net loss of over $11,000. He will report on this in more detail to the Governmental Affairs Committee at the next meeting. He reported notice was received on a court decision concerning the rate setting mechanism used involving education of preschool handicapped children. The lawsuit was successful and the rate was rolled back. Mr. Heyman reported there is now an HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) in Tompkins County. This is the first HMO in Tompkins County, and they are rapidly signing up all of the large employers. A report on the meeting will be given to the Governmental Affairs Committee in the near future. He stated the health study commissioned a year ago with Mercer Associates that Kathy West, Deputy County Administrator, has been working on is coming to a conclusion, and a report can be expected soon. He reported the State budget was announced recently, and reported on information he received from the New York State Association of Counties. Mr. Heyman stated he will be participating in the Partners for Quality facilitator training next week. He said he will be attending the NYSAC Conference next week, and if anyone is interested in carpooling to let him know. If anyone has any questions they would like him to ask while he is there they should let him know. Report from the County Attorney Mr. Theisen reported on one of the properties that was scheduled to be sold at the auction of foreclosed properties. A few days before the auction, the owner of a trailer park came up with all of the money owed, and the property was not sold. This took a lot of effort by County staff, and he thanked Budget and Finance staff, and Suzi Cook of the County Attorney's office. He reported a motion has been filed in the Federal Court relating to the Biggs A Building cases that probably will not be heard until the end of March. This motion is to dismiss all of the individuals involved, and some of the courses of action. Ms. Kiefer questioned the SEQR action on the resolution on the agenda entitled Authorization to Execute Quitclaim Deeds - Sale of Foreclosure Properties at Public Auction. She said it is her understanding that the sale of any property by a municipal government is automatically a Type I action. Mr. Theisen disagreed, and stated he does not believe any SEQR action is necessary in this resolution. Mr. Heyman said he believes SEQR action is necessary only when the number of acres exceeds 75. Report from the Comptroller Mr. Squires reported the last month has been active as his Department has been collecting the Annual Solid Waste Fee. He said over 200,000 in bills had to be sent back because they did not include penalties and interest for being late. At this time 71 percent of the budgeted income for the Fee has been collected, amounting to slightly over $2.3 million. He reported a notice was received from the Newfield School Board that they will be collecting taxes in installments, and he understands the Lansing School 45 February 7, 1995 District is also considering this. Mr. Squires also reported that the 1994 sales tax receipts exceeded the budgeted amount by $300,000. Report and Appointment from the Health and Environmental Quality Committee Mr. Evans, Chairman, said the committee has not met since the last Board meeting. The next meeting is February 9, 1995 at 9:30 a.m. in Board Chambers. Discussion will continue concerning cat licensing. There will also be discussion on water regulations. He reminded the Board about the Health Planning Council meeting scheduled for February 15 at noon. The topic of discussion is managed care. Appointments It was MOVED by Mr. Evans, seconded by Mrs. Schuler, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by members present (Ms. Mink and Mr. Meskill were out of the room temporarily), to appoint John A. Bonaguro to the Community Mental Health Services Board for a term that expires December 31, 1998. It was MOVED by Mr. Evans, seconded by Mr. Proto, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by members present (Ms. Mink and Mr. Meskill were temporarily out of the room), to appoint Robert Mazourek to the Tompkins County Agricultural and Farmland Protection Board representing Agri- business for a term that expires December 31, 1998. It was MOVED by Mr. Evans, seconded by Mrs. Schuler, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by members present (Ms. Mink and Mr. Meskill were temporarily out of the room), to appoint Candace E. Cornell as an at -large representative and Elizabeth D. Brauner as the Town of Groton representative to the Environmental Management Council for terms that expire December 31, 1995. Report, Presentation of Resolution(s) and Appointments from the Human Services Committee Mr. Joseph, Chairman, said the committee had an update from the Medicaid Transportation Task Force Chairman, John Ostrum. The report was given to Board members. The report included recommendations such as more use of the Airport Limousine service. The committee also heard a report from Office for the Aging about the seniors meal program which is under the Personal Response Act of 1995 and that it is under consideration for an increase in funding. Mr. Joseph began reporting further on the funding, but Ms. Mink said there was new information available regarding the subject that the funding will not be lumped together with other federal programs. He said he read in the paper that the Governor's budget plan will institute finger imaging in the State. He reminded the Board that Commissioner Dolan did not recommend this and the committee agreed, as it would not be cost effective. Mr. Joseph continued his report about the Senior Food Program. He said the eligibility requirements for the Program which is run by Foodnet have been changed and are now the same as SSI (Social Security Income). The income level must be a lot lower now, and that may mean the County will have to cut the Program completely or subsidize it locally. Further discussion followed by Board members regarding the Senior Meal Program and finger imaging. RESOLUTION NO. 16 - RESOLUTION TO ACCEPT GRANT FOR CONGREGATE SERVICES INITIATIVE PROGRAM AND TO AUTHORIZE EXECUTION OF A CONTRACT MOVED by Mr. Joseph, seconded by Mr. Evans, and unanimously adopted by voice vote.

The committee will be moving forward on budget reorganization. He said he circulated a memorandum concerning budget reorganization. He said he will be assigning task forces again this year, and asked if there are any Board members not on the Committee that would like to serve on a task force to let him know. The Budget Reorganization Advisory Committee continues to meet and has elected David Pelletier as Chairman. He announced two vacancies on that Advisory Committee. RESOLUTION NO. 17 - ADOPTION OF INVESTMENT POLICY MOVED by Mr. Lerner, seconded by Mr. Meskill. Ms. Kiefer asked if there were any changes in the language of the policy and how the $30.5 Million was arrived at. Mr. Squires, Finance Director, said it is the same policy as before and that there is no relationship with what is in the bank. The $30.5 Million is an outside figure. He said two more banks had been added to the list. Ms. Kiefer also asked if the County contracted with an authorized trading partner. Mr. Squires said the County does not deal with brokerage firms. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 14, Noes - 1 (Representative Lane). Mr. Lane said he voted against the resolution because he did not receive a copy of the investment policy and feels the County should not be authorizing investments in REPO's AND COPS.

Present: 12 Representatives (Representative Livesay arrived at 4:08 p.m.); Excused: 3 (Representatives Evans, Joseph, and Mink). RESOLUTION NO. 29 - ADOPTING PROPERTY VALUE AND BUSINESS INCOME PROTECTION PROGRAM MOVED by Mr. Todd, seconded by Ms. Kiefer. Chairman Stein felt a separate meeting was needed due to the large impact it could have on the • County and to hear all discussions. As a new Solid Waste Committee member, he thought the Board should fully understand the legal and financial impacts of the proposed neighborhood protection plan for the Recycling and Solid Waste Center. He explained the material distributed to Board members. He said at the appropriate time he would ask David Squires, Finance Director; Jonathan Wood, Assistant County Attorney; and Thomas Todd, Solid Waste Committee Chairman; to give a summary of the proposal. Mr. Lane requested a copy of the agreement for the DR -7 plan. The DR -7 plan was distributed to Board members. Mr. Todd gave a brief historical overview of compensation plans in Tompkins County regarding solid waste. In 1987, the County by resolution declared its intent to be sensitive to social and economic impacts upon the community in addition to environmental impacts. In 1988 Tompkins County stated its intent of creating a compensation plan and revenues and established a broad outline and criteria for a compensation plan for the proposed DR -7 landfill site. In 1989 there were resolutions about the acceptance of a property value protection plan for the Landstrom Landfill. During the period from 1989 to 1990 there were resolutions to purchase the property at Commercial Avenue and a decision to construct a Recycling and Solid Waste Center at that site. In 1991 there was a letter of agreement with the City of Ithaca that included a compensation plan for lost property value and lost business income. The agreement said the plan was to be developed and endorsed by the Neighborhood Advisory Committee for the Central Processing Facility (NACCPF) and approved by the City of Ithaca and Tompkins County. The County approved an agreement to hire CRInc. for the construction of the Recycling and Solid Waste Center. The construction of the building is nearly completed and due to open in March in 1995. Prior to 1994, he was the liaison to the NACCPF and in 1994 and 1995 Ms. Kiefer was the liaison. In 1993 Ms. Blanchard was the City's liaison to the NACCPF but continued to work with the Committee throughout 1994 and 1995 on the compensation plan. He thanked Henry Vaughan, Dooley Kiefer, Barbara Blanchard and County staff. Mr. Proto asked what the time schedule was for approving the proposal. Chairman Stein said it was his hope to take action at this meeting but the City of Ithaca has stated in their list of demands that no claims for reimbursement could be made until one year after operations have commenced at the Facility. Chairman Stein also said after reading the material it is not necessary to have a plan in place before the Center opens March 6. Chairman Stein allowed the public to speak at this time. 58 February 16, 1995 Henry Vaughan, Chairman of the Neighborhood Advisory Committee for the Central Processing Facility, again thanked the Board and staff for listening to the concerns of the neighborhood. He reiterated the concerns raised by the Committee a year ago: 1. that the Board provide adequate future funding for the maintenance of the facility's cleanliness and outward appearance, 2. that the facility's plans and programs include provisions that expose its operations to constant public scrutiny, and 3. in accordance with the County -City Agreement, that the Board authorize and implement a compensation program that would pay the affected property and business owners for any realized damages resulting from the presence and operation of the facility. He continued speaking about the compensation program. He said although many people involved believe there is a small possibility the County will ever have to pay claims under said program, a possibility exists. For example, if a future Board is facing financial problems, there may be a temptation to cut back maintenance of the new facility, possibly resulting in impacts on the neighborhood and significant claims. He believes the agreement between the City and County, to implement certain specified programs, i.e. compensation program, is the strongest guarantee for the neighborhood of proper operation of the facility. Another key element of the agreement is that an appropriate neighborhood advisory committee be formed and the present NACCPF prepare and recommend a compensation program for approval by the County Board and City of Ithaca. A draft was submitted to the Solid Waste Committee in September 1993 after over a year of work. Since that date, there have been many meetings and drafts debated. If the questions of the NACCPF are resolved, such as the clarity of a recently introduced paragraph on page 7 and a few other unresolved issues, the Committee recommends its approval. Benjamin Nichols, City of Ithaca Mayor, said he received today the proposed resolution and plan. He feels after briefly reviewing the documents, that the City will want to question some of the points addressed before adoption. He said he hopes the Board will not act tonight and that meetings between the City and County are held before action is taken. Catherine Covert, Clerk of the Board, read the following letter submitted by Dick Flaville, President, Tallmadge Tire Service of Ithaca: "Since I am unable to attend today's meeting, please read this statement for me. The property owners on and adjacent to the Elmira Road feel very strongly that a business and property compensation plan is very necessary. A lot of effort has gone into this plan and I feel it is fair, and urge the Board to approve it. Thank you." Chairman Stein asked David Squires, Finance Director, to speak. David Squires said he was asked to review the proposal. However, the proposal he analyzed is not the same as the one mailed with the agenda. His comments pertain to the concept of unlimited liability. He said the plan does not include a geographic designation, which exposes the County to an unlimited and incalculable liability. The County is required to disclose annually on a financial disclosure statement the number of lawsuits pending, and any other financial obligations including pending claims. If the Board adopts a plan without a designated area, it raises questions about financial stability. He recommended if the plan is adopted, to establish a reserve fund as a means of financing anticipated claims. At this time Chairman Stein asked Jonathan Wood, Assistant County Attorney, to speak. 59 February 16, 1995 Jonathan Wood addressed briefly the legality of such a program. He said this is a very gray area, and he does not wish to offer an opinion as to its legality. There is the possibility of a suit. He referred to a 1991 Comptroller's opinion which states that a similar program is not legal and that there is not a court case on point. He said the one important thing to know is it is conceivable to know a citizen can challenge such a program. A court could accept the rationale of the Comptroller's opinion and annul the program. He said he recommends the County move forward with the program after addressing the following concerns he has regarding the agreement: 1. He said the biggest issue is it is inconsistent with the 1991 resolution and all other previous draft agreements. The current plan does not include a committee to be appointed to investigate whether there are any existing negative impacts from the Center and if so, to mitigate them. If this is not successful, the Committee would come to the Board to implement a compensation plan. The current agreement now allows the NACCPF to decide if there is unmitigated negative impacts without coming back to the Board which is not his recommendation. 2. He also said under the current proposal, a committee is empowered to pay County funds. He believes this is illegal under the Charter and Code. The only power an advisory committee has is to recommend. 3. He feels there is a lack of definition of negative impacts in the current plan. In 1991, the resolution discusses at length how the committee will determine what are negative impacts and what would be protected by the compensation plan. He said this process is already underway in the SEQR process through the Environmental Impact Statement that identified negative impacts of the facility. 4. The other issue of concern is the area the program covers. In the current draft all of Tompkins County is covered. He feels the program should be limited to what the County planned to cover in 1991. He said there are three problems with covering all of the County: 1) potential unlimited liability; 2) provides protection to people who did not request it; and 3) the Board did not agree to do it pursuant to the resolution adopted in 1991. He referred to a map distributed by Barbara Blanchard which was identified in the Environmental Impact Statement. His last comment is he feels the role of the NACCPF should be redefined and that the Committee should be more diverse and balanced. Discussion and questions followed. Mrs. Livesay referred to a paragraph in Mr. Wood's memorandum concerning mitigation. She feels it is inconsistent with the resolution the Board adopted. Mr. Wood said the resolution adopts a document entitled "Response of Tompkins County to City of Ithaca Proposals for Modification of Central Processing Facility Project". He explained the four items in paragraph 2 addressed in the document adopted by the Board. Mrs. Livesay said she thought in the discussions pertaining to the document it was felt that the EIS was sufficient for identifying both the impacts and the mitigation followed with the development of a compensation plan. Mr. Wood said generally the EIS does not determine the mitigation or the monitoring of the mitigation. Mr. Heyman, County Administrator, said the EIS did discuss the number of potential impacts and did recommend mitigating measures be instituted into the project as it was being constructed. It did not mention monitoring measures after the fact. He said the central point of discussions is that it would have to be demonstrated that negative impacts actually occurred and could not be mitigated prior to the creation of a compensation plan. He said although the City disagreed, the EIS adopted by the Board concluded that there need not be any negative impact on the people for the Facility. 60 February 16, 1995 Ms. Blanchard commented about a committee committing the County to spend money. She feels that section 3 on page 3 addresses that concern. Her second comment is about the committee structure. She feels there is no distinction between the business protection committee and NACCPF. The third comment is about what comes first. She understood that the County would try to do everything possible to satisfy anyone's complaint before going to a compensation plan. Mrs. Livesay clarified a comment made by Ms. Blanchard about a committee's authority. Mr. Heyman also clarified a point made that County staff cannot spend County funds. He said as long as the money has been budgeted, County staff is authorized to expend the funds and Mr. Wood agreed. Mr. Meskill said he is disappointed that the Board is not looking at the version Jonathan Wood reviewed. He asked why should an advisory committee make a decision about money and conduct investigations. He said he does not oppose creating a protection plan but feels further negotiations with the City are needed. Mr. Lane asked if the 1991 agreement with the City of Ithaca and Tompkins County could be attached to the compensation plan. Mr. Wood said that is difficult because a written contract does not exist. Also, there is nothing in the resolution that this is a settlement of litigation. Mr. Charles Guttman, City of Ithaca Attorney, said he was involved with the negotiations in 1991. He said the City was in the process of making a decision to appeal a court's decision when an agreement was reached between the City of Ithaca and Tompkins County. At that time, the City also decided not to oppose the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) siting permit process. Benjamin Nichols, City of Ithaca Mayor, feels that an agreement will be reached with the County. He also feels there is a misinterpretation by the Assistant County Attorney of whether or not this is the time to institute a compensation plan. He said there was no intention the plan would await for a property owner to say he has been harmed. Chairman Stein asked if there was anyone in disagreement with Mr. Nichols. No one responded. Mr. Lane strongly feels that the resolution to be adopted by the Board should list the points by Jonathan Wood and Charles Guttman about the previous negotiations and the agreement in lieu of the litigation. He said he is very concerned that there is not a geographical area identified. Another area of concern is what happens if a property owner decides to make improvements or a new business moves in after the Center is built. He also said the compensation plan for the Center is different than the DR -7 plan. The DR -7 plan included residential properties, whereas the Recycling and Solid Waste Center plan also includes commercial properties which can have more problems. Discussion followed on how the questions and concerns raised this evening would be handled. Ms. Blanchard suggested and the Board concurred that the Assistant County Attorney and the Chief Fiscal County Officer meet with the City Attorney and the City Chief Fiscal Officer along with other officials deemed necessary. Mr. Vaughan said it was suggested by the County to the NACCPF that the geographic area be generalized because it makes it difficult to get mortgages. He said he would clarification. Chairman Stein said instead of answering questions notes will be taken and negotiations will proceed as Ms. Blanchard had suggested. Ms. Kiefer spoke about the geographical area. She said when the NACCPF was doing their work it referred to the 1991 document. While the Committee was discussing the survey required to identify areas impacted it became difficult to pinpoint what the geographic boundaries would be. Due to the cost 61 February 16, 1995 of the survey and the public comments thoroughly identified in the DEIS, the Committee decided to draw up a comprehensive list of possible impacts instead of doing a survey. She agreed with Mr. Vaughan's comments that the Committee did not have a specific area to survey. She referred to the comment made by Mr. Meskill concerning the draft agreement being different than the one the Assistant County Attorney reviewed. Ms. Kiefer said the Assistant County Attorney was on vacation when additional changes were made including the distinction between the NACCPF and the neighborhood protection committee. Chairman Stein distributed an alternative map designating an area of impact. Discussion followed concerning the designation of an area of impact. Concerns were raised about red lining. It was suggested the red lining be defined. Mr. Lerner was excused at 5:30 p.m. Ms. Blanchard said the map she distributed was part of the EIS. Mr. Heyman explained the situation with the NACCPF concerning the direction that the geographical area not include boundaries; it arose from banking officials telling him that designation of a geographic area of impact could make it harder to get a mortgage. Mr. Proto said he is in favor of a compensation plan and agrees with Ms. Kiefer that there are three negotiating parties: Tompkins County, City of Ithaca and business owners. He spoke about the appraisals mentioned in the agreement and is uncomfortable with the County Administrator being involved. He asked if the agreement is approved does it preclude merchants from suing. Mr. Wood said nothing prevents anyone from bringing a lawsuit against the County or anyone else. Mr. Lane said the value of business loss is based on sales, but what about businesses that are not retail, i.e. doctor's office? Ms. Kiefer attempted to answer or clarify certain questions raised by Board members. The first is the concern that the County Administrator is authorized to reject an appraisal as stated on page 6 of the agreement. She said it originally said Tompkins County, but the Committee felt the County Administrator was the appropriate person because he handles the sale of County property. She also addressed the question raised about who pays, i.e. page 9, number 4.c) The County ... should specify who in the County will pay. She also spoke about who would be determining negative impacts. Mr. Meskill and Mr. Lane feel the words "the County" in the agreement should mean "County Board". Mrs. Livesay noted that all this compensation plan does is allow people to "sue" us in a non - adversarial way for things we don't intend to do anyway. She said she was part of the original City/County negotiations, and said they negotiated to be good neighbors and hold people harmless. It was MOVED by Mr. Proto, seconded by Mr. Totman, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by members present, to postpone action on the resolution and direct the appropriate County and City officials as mentioned above to meet and that the Board receive a new draft of the material by February 27 and deliberate on the resolution and agreement on March 7. Benjamin Nichols said he understands the County Board's feelings with protecting taxpayers' money. He feels that it is inevitable for the Board to be biased with spending taxpayers money and that is why he feels there was a procedure attempting to be set up that allows a neutral body with representatives from the County and City and one at -large member to make the decisions. He is concerned that a more elaborate procedure is being suggested than is necessary. 62 February 16, 1995 Adi ournment On motion, the meeting adjourned at 6:06 p.m. 63 February 21, 1995 Regular Meeting Called to Order Chairman Stein called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m. Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag and Roll Call of Members Members and guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. Present: 12 Representatives; Excused: 3 (Representatives Evans, Joseph and Totman). Representative Todd was excused at 7:10 p.m. Approval of Minutes Chairman Stein advanced this item to the end of the agenda. Privilege of the Floor by Board Members Mr. Meskill, District No. 15 Representative, extended happy "80th" birthday wishes to Russ Patterson, who maintains the recycling drop-off center in Caroline. Mrs. Schuler, District No. 4 Representative, announced there will be a Rave on February 25 at the State Theater to benefit the Alcoholism Council of Tompkins County. She also stated Dewitt Historical Society will be sponsoring the Tompkins County History Follies in May. Mr. Lerner, District No. 1 Representative, apologized for walking out of the February 16 Board Meeting. He said he was ill. Mr. Lane, District No. 14 Representative, reported he attended the NYSAC (New York State Association of Counties) Conference held last week and felt it was a very enlightening and educational experience. He said he appreciated the chance to hear from the Senate, Assembly, and Governor Pataki. Mrs. Livesay, District No. 11 Representative, said she attended the NYSAC Conference also. She reported on the Medicaid cost containment report that was done by NYSAC. She said the report contained comparisons of New York State and its counties with other states and counties. She said the report shows that Tompkins County fell consistently in the next to cheapest area in the State. Mrs. Livesay said copies of the report will be available in the Board office. Mr. Stein explained what NYSAC is, and stated counties across the State are expressing concern with the Governor's proposed budget, primarily with where the cuts are and the promises of savings granted to balance those cuts. There is concern that proposed savings will not materialize. He stated there were statements made at the NYSAC Conference that the State Legislature has every intention of adopting the budget by April 1. There were also many statements made by public officials that the budget cuts and the tax savings at the State level will not be taken from counties. Mr. Stein said he does not believe this is possible. If there are savings at the State level and increases in taxes at the local level, it balances out and there really is no savings. He urged all Representatives on the Board interested about the State budget to express their concerns to their State representatives. Mr. Stein said he is trying to arrange a time when State Representatives Kuhl, Luster, and Seward can come and meet with the Board to discuss the State budget. He will keep the Board informed as to if and when this can be scheduled. 64 February 21, 1995 Mrs. Livesay, District No. 11 Representative, stated it is important for the Board and the public to understand that some of the possible cuts include the increased payment for Medicaid the County expected to get. The argument is that we will realize the difference from the savings from the cuts to the Medicaid program. She said the State is also proposing not to make the expected payments to the Handicapped Children's Program. If this does happen, this will bring the County's budget out of balance. Mr. Stein stated the Budget the County approved may be impacted by actions in the State budget, and therefore, the Board may have to come back and reduce the adopted budget. Ms. Mink, District No. 5 Representative, stated the resolution placed on member's desks this evening entitled Approving Recommendation of the Leadership Council for a Long Range Planning Process for Tompkins County Government will not be added to the agenda. She stated the content of the resolution is much more prescriptive than intended, and that a revised resolution will be submitted to the Board at an upcoming meeting. Ms. Kiefer, District No. 10 Representative, brought to the Board's attention something she heard on the radio from Carl McCall, State Comptroller, who stated that the Governor's proposed budget has 3/4 of a billion dollars in one shot revenues, including $250 million borrowed from the Pension Fund. She said it is her recollection that this Board went on record as saying this type of thing is not a good idea and that money that has been borrowed in the past should be paid back. Chairman Stein said that the State Comptroller does not support this action, and intends to bring suit on this item. Mr. Todd, District No. 6 Representative, stated he also heard the above newscast on the radio. He said the Pension Fund is public employees' money, and in the past there has been $1.3 million borrowed by the State from the Worker's Compensation Fund and that money is still a debit out to the State that doesn't gather any interest. This is why worker's compensation payments are high. Addition of Resolution(s) to the Agenda There were no resolutions to be added to the agenda. Withdrawal of Resolution(s) from the Agenda There were no resolutions to be withdrawn from the agenda. Affirmation of Resolution(s) Not Requiring Board Action Chairman Stein gave the appropriate committee chairman permission to withdraw from the agenda the following resolution with final committee action being affirmed: CA007-95 - Approval of Circuit Rider Contract with Village of Lansing Chairman's Report and Appointments Chairman Stein reported there will be a blood pressure clinic held on Thursday, February 23 at 9 a.m. in the Old Jail Conference Room. He stated he would like the Board to convene this evening in executive session about specific individuals' right to a fair trial.

He stated the proposed budget includes the following proposed cuts: Highway aid being cut by $60,000, aid to Probation being cut from 39 to approximately 34 percent, and cuts to local mental health aid. Cuts to local mental health aid will not directly affect the Tompkins County Mental Health Depaitment; however, cuts will affect agencies the Tompkins County Mental Health Department contracts with. There are also proposed cuts to the Education of Handicapped Children from 69.5 percent of State funding to 59 percent. This will affect the 1995 County Budget by $600,000. The Lombardi long-term care program is proposed to be eliminated. The Office for the Aging, the Youth Bureau, and the Public Library will be held harmless; there will be no cuts or increases. He said the details relating to Social Services are not very clear at this point, but in Social Services other than Medicaid there are reductions in payments to individuals, which will save the County and State money. There are also increase in the 66 February 21, 1995 Income Disregard that will offset that savings. The State is expecting the savings and cuts to balance out at the County level, but the towns and school districts are expected to be impacted. Report from the County Attorney Mr. Theisen reported the Biggs A cases are pending, and that the motions have been received but no date has been set to hear the argument of those motions. Mr. Meskill asked if and when individual Board members will be removed from the lawsuits. Mr. Theisen said he does not know, but this issue is included in the current pending motion. Report from the County Finance Director Mr. Squires had no report. Report, Presentation of Resolution(s) and Appointments from the Solid Waste Committee Mr. Todd, Chairman, reported the Recycling and Solid Waste Center is scheduled to open on March 6. He commented on the special Board meeting held February 16 concerning the compensation plan proposed by the Neighborhood Advisory Committee for the Commercial Avenue Central Processing Facility. He said the meeting was difficult but necessary. Mr. Todd said Jonathan Wood, Assistant County Attorney, met with the City of Ithaca Attorney last week and went through the list of things that should be discussed.

The Committee approved grant allocations for the Advisory Board on Tourism Development and the Finger Lakes Association. Ms. Mink reported there are efforts underway 67 February 21, 1995 to form a gateway for Job Training efforts in Tompkins County. Michael Stamm, Tompkins County Area Development President, will be coordinating that effort. She reported there is a possibility that the JTPA administrative work will be coming back to Tompkins County from Broome County. The Committee will meet again on March 2. Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Planning, Community Development and Education Committee Mrs. Schuler, Chair, reported the Committee met February 8, and much of the Committee's business is reflected on the agenda. At that meeting the Committee had discussion on the reorganization of the Planning Board, and received a presentation from George Totman on this subject. The Committee endorsed the creation of a Planning Advisory Committee and a Planning Federation. She reported the Committee discussed strategic Planning for the Tompkins County Public Library. The Committee also received an update from the Planning Commissioner on the land policy. Mrs. Schuler announced the League of Women Voters have updated their guide to local government and it is available at the Chamber of Commerce and two local bookstores for $4. RESOLUTION NO. 31 - APPROPRIATING $19,717 FROM THE CONTINGENCY FUND TO THE TOMPKINS COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY MOVED by Mrs. Schuler, seconded by Ms. Mink.

RESOLUTION ADOPTED. WHEREAS, in August, 1994, the Tompkins County Public Library submitted a 1995 budget proposal which met the fiscal target, and WHEREAS, this budget proposal reflects the fact that the Tompkins County Public Library eliminated $24,700 of needed expenditures in order to meet its fiscal target, with the expectation that it would seek this funding from private sources, and WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Public Library also budgeted health insurance at a zero percent increase, which was an allowable action, in order to meet its fiscal target, and WHEREAS, these two actions made it unnecessary to submit a special request to maintain current services, and WHEREAS, the submitted budget of the Tompkins County Public Library was subsequently reduced by $19, 717 by the Tompkins County Board of Representatives on the assumption that health insurance was over -budgeted, and WHEREAS, this action leaves the Tompkins County Public Library with a $19,717 deficit, which it is unlikely to make up with other sources, and WHEREAS, if this funding is restored, the Tompkins County Public Library will be able to reinstate funding for audio-visual purchases (including books on tape, CD's, videos and audio -cassettes) for both children and adults; and will restore staff hours at circulation and reference, which will result in better service for the citizens of Tompkins County, and WHEREAS, this restoration will help achieve exemplary library service in Tompkins County, which is a goal of the Library Board of Trustees, and WHEREAS, this request for an appropriation of $19,717 has been approved by the Tompkins County Public Library Board of Trustees on January 24, 1994, now therefore be it 68 February 21, 1995 RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Planning, Community Development and Education and Budget and Fiscal Policy Committees, That the Finance Director is hereby directed to appropriate $19,717 from the contingency fund to the Tompkins County Public Library, RESOLVED, further, That these funds do not affect the 1996 Fiscal Target. SEQR ACTION: TYPE 11-15 RESOLUTION NO. 32 - REAPPROPRIATION OF 1994/1995 BUDGETS FOR THE ITHACA- TOMPKINS COUNTY TRANSPORTATION COUNCIL MOVED by Mrs. Schuler, seconded by Mr. Lane, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by members present.

SEQR ACTION: TYPE II -15 Appointment It was MOVED by Mrs. Livesay, seconded by Mr. Lane, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by members present, to appoint Mary Ellen Bossack to the Tompkins County Youth Board as the Town of Dryden representative for a term expiring December 31, 1997. Report and Appointments from the Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee Mr. Lerner, Chairman, reported 1995 budget reorganization is getting underway. He stated the budget reorganization task forces have been created, and encouraged Board members who want to attend task force meetings to do so. He said Kathleen Drew, Secretary to the County Administrator, has information on meeting times. Mr. Lerner reported on the potential impact the Governor's proposed budget may have on Tompkins County. He said he has been working with Scott Heyman, County Administrator, to make sure County department heads are aware of what the particular impacts may be on depai tiuents. Appointments It was MOVED by Mr. Lerner, seconded by Mr. Proto, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by members present, to appoint Peter Penniman and Joseph Jenlinski to fill two vacancies on the Budget Reorganization Advisory Committee for the remainder of the Committee's term. Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Governmental Affairs Committee Mrs. Livesay, Chair, reported the Committee met February 8 and discussed how the Committee is going to organize the several tasks the Committee has to deal with in 1995. She asked all Committee Chairs to keep in mind that when they would like to have comments made to the legislature or the Governor, to refer those matters to the Governmental Affairs Committee. There are two task forces proceeding out of intergovernmental interests: Mr. Lane will be heading up a task force on the Solid Waste Fee billing, and Mr. Totman will be handling issues raised relating to the GIS addressing. Mrs. Livesay reported the Committee will be proceeding with revising the Ethics Code, and that Henry Theisen, County Attorney, is gathering information at this time. There was some discussion concerning Charter and Code changes, and what role the Committee would play in relation to the Charter Review Committee. The Governmental Affairs Committee will continue to review routine changes, and the Charter Review Committee will review particular defined areas. The Committee will be meeting the second Monday of each month at 3 p.m. in the Old Jail Conference Room except July and August when it will meet the first and third Monday. The Committee heard a report on the foreclosure auction, and the Personnel Commissioner brought to the attention of the Committee whether employees at TC3, Public Library, and school districts should be given the discounted civil service exam fee as County employees are given. The Committee made the following appointments to the Department of Motor Vehicle Task Force: Timothy Lee Hodge - at -large 72 February 21, 1995 Sally Hoyt - insurance company representative; David Banfield (alternate) James Niefer - at large Diedrich Willers - automobile dealer representative Cheryl Caister - STOP -DWI representative Aurora Valenti - County Clerk Penelope McGuire - Motor Vehicle Supervisor Coral McLaren - DMV employee Kathy West - County Administration Beverly Livesay - Governmental Affairs Committee representative; Charles Evans (alternate) The first meeting of the Task Force will be February 22 at 2 p.m. in the Courthouse Conference Room.

Mrs. Livesay said yes. Representative Todd was excused from the meeting at 7:10 p.m. RESOLUTION NO. 35 - AUTHORIZATION TO EXTEND RURAL YOUTH SERVICE WORKER POSITION - YOUTH BUREAU MOVED by Mrs. Livesay, seconded by Ms. Blanchard. It was MOVED by Mr. Lane, seconded by Mr. Proto, to refer this resolution back to the Planning, Community Development and Education Committee. Mrs. Livesay asked Mr. Lane if he would be willing to withdraw his motion to allow further discussion on the main motion. Mr. Lane withdrew his motion to refer, with Mr. Proto withdrawing his second as well. Following a lengthy discussion relating to Mr. Meskill's objection of extending the position, it was MOVED by Mrs. Livesay, seconded by Mr. Proto, to amend the resolution by changing the date to March 31, 1995, and in the meantime further information be provided to the Committee. Mrs. Livesay said the Governmental Affairs Committee is trying to clarify which personnel motions should only go to program committees.

Privilege of the Floor by Board Members Charles Evans, District No. 13 Representative, stated a few weeks ago a Biggs A employee came to the Board and expressed concern that a specific pesticide may have been used in the Biggs A building. He stated this has been looked into, and that pesticide has not been used in the Biggs A building, but was used in the Old Courthouse. Tim Joseph, District No. 12 Representative, spoke in opposition to Governor Pataki's proposed budget. He stated that the Human Services Committee has been looking at the impacts the proposed budget may have on the County. Mr. Joseph said one thing that has not been said is that this budget will kill people. The budget eliminates personal care for the elderly in the kind of care that helps elderly people remain in their homes rather than going into nursing homes. The Governor is also limiting the number that can be admitted into nursing homes. There will be people who will not be able to get the care they will need to keep themselves healthy and alive, and they will die. There are also proposed cuts to child protective services (CPS). These cuts will force CPS to return children to homes from foster homes much earlier. This will lead to more incidents of child neglect and abuse. The proposed budget also cuts subsidies for day care. He asked what will parents do if they cannot provide day care for their children. There will be more accidents and more children will be left home alone. Mr. Joseph also stated that the home relief is being proposed to be limited to three months. This will force some individuals to live on the street or in shelters. He stated the proposed budget will cause a level of desperation we have not seen in years. There will also be an increase in crime, resulting in much less safer communities than people are use to. Mr. Joseph stated this budget will kill people and will only enrich those who are already rich. He said the County has an obligation to say no to this proposed budget. 85 March 7, 1995 Peter Meskill, District No. 15 Representative, congratulated the Ithaca High School boys' basketball team for making its way to Sectionals and to the Girls Basketball team for winning.

He stated he will be introducing the session and will turn it over to the Chairs of those committees. He would like this to be a dialogue session, and would like to have the kind of session to have communication. Mr. Stein reminded the Board that he has been successful in setting up meetings with State Senators Kuhl and Seward and Assemblyman Luster. The meeting with the Senators will be March 17 at 10:30 a.m., and with Assemblyman Luster on that date at noon. Both meetings will be held in Board Chambers.

Mr. Stein stated the Board will be discussing a Freedom of Information Request Appeal in open session this evening. County Administrator's Report 86 March 7, 1995 Mr. Heyman reported he does not have solid information on the Governor's proposed State budget at this time. He stated the Department of Social Services and the Health Department are expected departments to have significant impacts. A report is expected to be made at the Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee meeting on March 14 at noon. Mr. Heyman stated the Legislature is offering an early retirement incentive for public employees. A similar incentive has been offered in the past, and after review has been declined by Tompkins County. He stated the County will review the current incentive and make its decision. The last time the feature of the program was that if someone retired the position had to be abolished. County Attorney's Report Mr. Theisen reported the Biggs A worker's compensation cases are still pending. There has been no decision on the appeal of inspection of workers' homes. He reported the attorneys from the Prezioso case have submitted papers conceding there is not individual liability under the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act).

County Finance Director's Report Mr. Squires reported that under General Municipal Law the County is required to file an annual report with the State for February, and the County has filed an extension to do this. He said the County auditors will be arriving to begin the process of the County audit around the end of March. Mr. Squires reported on the status of collection of the Solid Waste Annual Fee. He said the County stands at approximately the same place it did last year at this time. He said 81 percent of the Fee has been collected, exclusive of the universities because they have made other arrangements. He believes the same people who did not pay last year are the ones not paying again this year. He said he started working with the County's fiscal advisors last week about financing for capital projects for this year. Report from the Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee Mr. Lerner, Chairman, reported the Committee meeting was canceled last week due to lack of resolutions.

This may impact the July deadline.

Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Economic Development Committee Ms. Mink, Chair, reported the Committee met last week to review a draft contract with the Chamber of Commerce.

The Committee will meet on March 16 at 10 a.m. to go over the Chamber's draft marketing plan which will place dollar figures on everything the Chamber proposes to do. The draft marketing plan is also a first, and is the most detailed and comprehensive look at what the Convention and Visitor's Bureau proposes to do. She urged any Board member interested in this subject to attend that meeting and make their feelings known.

He stated the Recycling and Solid Waste Center on Commercial Avenue starting accepting municipal solid 89 March 7, 1995 waste on March 6.

Report from the Biggs A Study Committee Ms. Mink, Chair, reported at the next Board meeting, she expects the Board to look at a presentation of the Committee's work. That presentation will focus on giving the Board information comparing what it would cost for the County to stay on West Hill or to move downtown. Specific sites that have been discussed in Committee will not be talked about at the Board meeting, as that information is still execution session material. She stated comparative spreadsheets showing cost differentials will be provided to the Board prior to that meeting. Report from the Leadership Council Ms. Mink, Chair, reported a resolution dealing with long-range planning and backup material is on Board members' desks for review prior to the next Board meeting. She said the tone is different from the last version of this resolution, however, the goal is still the same, which is to develop a mission and a vision for County that can be used to develop strategies to achieve measurable results. Input will be gathered from a broad cross-section of groups. Report from the Public Information Committee Mr. Joseph, Co -Chair, reported the Committee met this morning to look over articles that have been submitted for publication in the next County newsletter. He stated because of the shortage of quality articles submitted it has led the Committee to rethink what they are doing. Mr. Joseph stated the feelings of the Committee included that the Committee should be clear that they are not trying to do something that can be done through the regular news media. The County News is for the times when it is felt what is needed to be communicated is not being communicated through the media. The Committee also realized that simply asking for articles does not work, and there needs to be a more active role taken in soliciting articles. The Committee has decided to focus the next edition on the proposed State budget and expected impacts. There will also be an article on the new direction of State government. The Committee will also be asking one Board member in support of, and one Board member in opposition to the State budget to write an article to be included. Mr. Joseph stated the Committee is faced with a problem of not having time for review by this Board of what goes into this edition of the County News. It was the consensus of the Board to allow the Committee to follow through on producing this newsletter without review of a final draft by the Board. It was suggested that any member interested in reviewing a draft, to attend the Committee meetings. Ms. Kiefer said she was interested in reviewing a draft. Report from the Rural Affairs Committee 90 March 7, 1995 Mr. Proto, Chairman, reported all Board members should have received information from the Municipal Officials Association concerning the meeting to be held on March 16 at 7 p.m. in the Town of Danby. The topic of discussion will be the Committee report. There will be an opportunity to discuss the report with the group that initiated some of the information. The next Committee meeting will be March 20 at 8: 15 a.m. in the Courthouse Conference Room. Report from the Special Wal -mart Committee Mr. Evans, Chairman, stated the Committee has met and documentation that has been prepared is on Board members' desks. The issues continue to fall in three main areas: water, traffic, and solid waste. James Hanson, Planning Commissioner, and Barbara Blanchard met with the City of Ithaca Planning Department last week, and the City has agreed to include this information in their final Environmental Impact Statement. These same issues will be used by the County in its section 239 review. Mr. Evans commended County Planning Department staff for doing a great job of reviewing the things they did. Report from the Electronic Future Committee Mr. Evans, Chairman, reported the Committee held its organizational meeting. He stated he is impressed with the interest and enthusiasm of the Committee. The next meeting will be held March 16 at 2:30 p.m. in the Tompkins County Public Library Sherman Peer Room. Freedom of Information Request Appeal Chairman Stein announced that George Dentes, District Attorney, was in attendance to answer questions the Board may have on this issue. After discussion the Board upheld the denial to the Ithacan of a request for information under the Freedom of Information Law concerning the cases of Michelle Boyd and Todd Curry. Ms. Kiefer asked Mr. Dentes if he had considered simply blacking out certain portions of documents to protect confidentiality; Mr. Dentes discussed the difficulties attendant upon deciding what to black out, etc., but stated he had not considered it in this case. Mr. Joseph noted that although we're supposed to be acting as an appeals group, we have not seen the documents to be able to decide the confidentiality claim. Addition of Resolution to the Agenda It was MOVED by Mr. Meskill, seconded by Mr. Totman, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by members present, to add to the agenda the resolution entitled Denial of Freedom of Information Request Appeal. RESOLUTION NO. 59 - DENIAL OF FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST APPEAL MOVED by Mr. Meskill, seconded by Mr. Winch, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by members present. RESOLVED, That the appeal of the "The Ithacan" for information pursuant to the Freedom of Information Law, concerning cases involving Michelle Boyd and Todd Curry is denied on the basis that the District Attorney has already given all information available and not subject to confidentiality under Section 87 of the Public Officers Law subdivision 2(e) ii and iii. SEQR ACTION: TYPE II -15 Approval of Minutes 91 March 7, 1995 It was MOVED by Mr. Proto, seconded by Mr. Meskill, and unanimously adopted by voice vote to approve the minutes of March 16, 1995 as corrected. MINUTES APPROVED. Recess Chairman Stein declared recess from 8:01 p.m. to 8:10 p.m. Executive Session It was MOVED by Mr. Evans, seconded by Mr. Meskill, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by members present, to enter into executive session at 8:10 p.m. to discuss contract negotiations.

Introductions Chairman Stein introduced and welcomed two visiting Legislators from Cortland County: Sandra Price and Carletta Edwards. Mr. Todd, Chairman of the Solid Waste Committee, introduced Tom Powers of CRInc., who is the Manager of the Tompkins County Recycling and Solid Waste Center. Privilege of the Floor by the Public William Holtcamp, 1591 Taughannock Boulevard, Ithaca, read the following and submitted same for the record: "I would express some observations, concerns, thanks and hopes regarding the allocation of room tax monies by this legislative body. I am currently director of the F.L.A. and represent most of the 318 members of our organization in Tompkins County, the largest membership of the 14 counties in the Finger Lakes Region, an indication of the importance attributed to regional promotion of tourism, Steuben County is second with 268 members. We support the room tax law and find no fault with the operation of the C.V.B. to promote tourism in Tompkins County. We do, however, also support the concept of regional promotion of tourism in the Finger Lakes Region to the full benefit of all fourteen counties. We believe the efforts of the C.V.B and the F.L.A. should supplement each other to our mutual benefit. As you are certainly aware, there has been a concerted effort in recent years to denigrate the value of the F.L.A. and to discredit its operations. This effort has culminated in the vote by the A.B.T.D. to cut the allocation of funds to the F.L.A. from $26,110 in 1994 to $4,100 in 1995, an 84 percent reduction. $4,100 is less than is appropriated by all the core counties in the region. The A.B.T.D. also 93 March 21, 1995 asserted by vote that Tompkins County is "better off' by shifting away from the F.L.A. regional programming. We believe that this is a very shortsighted outlook by the A.B.T.D. In recent conversation on this subject, it was mentioned to me that this confrontation was over money. On the surface, this appears to be the case. However, on deeper examination we conclude that it is a conflict of philosophies. We, the 300 plus members of the Association, feel that tourism promotion should be a two pronged effort. Local and Regional promotion of the multiple attractions and facilities of 14 counties has given the Finger Lakes Region a national recognition. For example, the Finger Lakes Region of N.Y.S. was recognized by Rand McNally as the 34th most identifiable vacation region in the U.S.A. We believe that Tompkins County should identify itself with the regional approach and take advantage of the added lure of 13 other counties in the region. The leadership of the C.V.B. and the A.B.T.D. think otherwise. Their philosophy is to promote only Tompkins County, Ithaca, Cornell (a captive visitors group which visits Cornell regardless of County promotion), and local arts and our three State parks. We in our regional approach draw on a diverse, multitude of attractions, 20 State parks, over 40 wineries, camping facilities in all 14 counties, museums, historic homes, auto racing, thoroughbred racing, farm markets, rail excursions, boat cruises on five of our lakes, fishing charter and hunting facilities. Not incidentally, with Tompkins traditionally funding the regional approach at a high level, we have represented this County at a high level in our attractions brochure with more pictures (in three of the last four years the cover picture was of Tompkins County), greater representation of pictures on our display at consumer shows, more frequent visits by travel writers and motor coach familiarization tours. In this way we divert more tourist visits to the County in direct proportion to its support of our programs. I must state these programs do not distract from C.V.B. marketing but instead supplement its own programs. We believe tourism promotion should be a joint, coordinated effort. We have thought so in the past, do so now, and expect to do so in the future. I wish to thank the Economic Development Committee for restoring our funding to the $15,000 level even though that figure is over $3,000 less than we have already expended and would urge that this Board approve that funding level for the F.L.A. for this year. I would also hope that the benefits of regional promotion be more objectively analyzed and that the traditional funding levels be restored in future years, a level commensurate with the importance to the County of the regional approach, and vice versa, the importance of Tompkins County to our regional programming. One other hope I have is that the Chamber of Commerce and our local contingent of the F.L.A. can resolve their differences in philosophy. I have contacted Ms. Daybell of the Chamber and she has agreed to meet with us to discuss those differences, a first step in better communications. Thank you ladies and gentlemen and I would offer a last hope -- that we all have an excellent tourism season." Ed Kabelac, 1410 Hanshaw Road, owner of the Spring Water Motel in Varna, and Chairman of the Tompkins County Contingent of the Finger Lakes Association, stated that over the last six and half years since he and his wife have been in the motel business, they have found that getting tourists to travel to and to stay in Tompkins County is very competitive. He said the local Convention and Visitors Bureau does a very commendable job in promoting Ithaca and Tompkins County but there needs to be promotion throughout the Finger Lakes area. He urged the Board to fund to the greatest extent possible, promotion of the Finger Lakes area through the Finger Lakes Association. Joanne Davenport, 414 White Church Road, Brooktondale, spoke concerning tourism. She referred to a position she held at Cornell University where it was her job to bring scholars to attend professional association meetings. Those scholars came from a wide variety of universities from across the country. In working with those people, when she spoke about the Finger Lakes area, they immediately identified with the area. Ms. Davenport asked that the Board continue funding the efforts of the Finger Lakes Association. 94 March 21, 1995 Alan Cohen, 302 East State Street, spoke concerning the resolution on the agenda entitled Accepting Report and Recommendations of the Human Service Space Planning Committee. Mr. Cohen stated he is in favor of this resolution, although he feels it is lacking a couple of points. He feels the resolution, should address why the downtown area in the City of Ithaca is the best place to locate a future building for the County. He also suggested that the resolution include wording to give recognition that the placement of this particular structure be done in a fashion that is in the best interest of both the City and the County. Mr. Cohen urged the passage of this resolution. Keith le Grand, 2051 Gorge Road, Trumansburg and Proprietor of 90 Farms Inn, and member of the Tompkins County Contingent of the Finger Lakes Association, spoke concerning the Finger Lakes Association. He said Tompkins County has always showed great financial support to the Association in the past, and urged the Board to continue this funding. He also stated the F.L.A. is well supported by the business community. Ann Rider, 77 Halseyville Road, and Political Action Chair for the Local Civil Service Employees Association, spoke concerning the resolution on the agenda entitled Accepting Report and Recommendations of the Human Service Space Planning Committee. She stated she supports the resolution, and urged the Board to provide safe, comfortable, and technologically up-to-date office space for its employees. She thinks it is imperative that this Board move the Department of Social Services, the Probation Department, and the Health Department to the downtown center of the County. She said it is a historical fact that cities and county seats are centers of commerce and government, and this County needs to consolidate its government offices in a downtown location. She believes the Biggs A land should be able to produce income if marketed in the right way. Paul Sayvetz, 201 Elm Street, spoke in support of the resolution on the agenda entitled Accepting Report and Recommendations of the Human Service Space Planning Committee. Mr. Sayvetz stated he supports this resolution as a way of making more business for the City. He said he will, however, be lobbying to the City of Ithaca in opposition of building a parking garage. Privilege of the Floor by Board Members Mr. Winch, District No. 8 Representative, reported on a celebration held on March 19, 1995, for the culmination of a project entitled "Newfields For Fun" which is a community playground project designed by Bob Leathers, and his Project Coordinator, Tom Rockwell. This $65,000 project with a pioneer theme began two years ago and involved Newfield residents, including children and adults, in the design process for a community playground. After the design is fine-tuned, many volunteers spent a great deal of time constructing the project. Mr. Winch stated he is proud to be from Newfield where the community came forth as volunteers to create this great community project. Mr. Winch noted that if this playground had not been built by volunteers, it would have cost in excess of $140,000. Mr. Lane, District No. 14 Representative, stated today is election day in most of the villages of Tompkins County, and stated he hopes voters will exercise their right to vote. Ms. Mink, District No. 3 Representative, clarified a subject raised under privilege of the floor by the public. She stated that if the resolution on agenda entitled Authorization to Execute Contract - Chamber of Commerce passes, the County will have allocated $15,000 to the Finger Lakes Association for this year. Ms. Kiefer, District No. 10 Representative, stated she hopes this meeting will end at 8:45 so that she will be allowed time to cast her vote in the village elections. Biggs A Space Study Presentation 95 March 21, 1995 Ms. Mink, Chair, Space Planning Committee, stated the Board was given a presentation several months ago from the Consultant with whom the County has been working with for the past year about the configuration of agencies and where the County was at that time. Discussion this evening will be about the comparisons between the options and what it means in the long term if the County invests a little, a lot, or if the same amount is spent building a new building either on West Hill or downtown. She introduced James Kazda, Senior Civil Engineer for the Public Works Department. Mr. Kazda gave a presentation on the Report prepared by Sutton Associates, Inc. entitled "Report of Findings and Conclusions for The Alternative Space Planning Feasibility Study for Biggs A and B - Tompkins County Board of Representatives." This report was filed in the Board office March 21, 1995, at 5 p.m., and is on file for Board members to review. During the presentation, Ms. Blanchard said she would be interested in seeing some information as to what it would mean for the County to construct its own parking facility as opposed to partnershipping this with the City of Ithaca. Mr. Proto said he would like to see information on the bonding situation of the County. Mr. Lerner said he would like a more year -by -year breakout of what the annual cost alternatives are. Mr. Kazda said this has been done and is being refined. Mrs. Livesay stated she thinks it would be helpful to have the non -substantive differences pulled out from the document Mr. Kazda distributed. Mr. Evans stated he would like to see some discussion with the City and some concrete proposals of what the City is willing to do for the County if the County decides to move depai tments downtown before the County makes that decision.

Mr. Lerner announced that the March 28 meeting of the Committee has been canceled. Mr. Lerner highlighted the overall impacts of the proposed State budget. He said there are two kinds of impacts - significant reductions in some of the mandated costs of the Social Services Department, and there are a number of departments, including Social Services, that have taken various sizes of funding reductions in the proposed budget. One that needs special mention is the Education of Handicapped Children Program in 103 March 21, 1995 the Health Department. He said last year the State of New York had budgeted a substantial increase in reimbursement for that program of approximately half a million dollars for Tompkins County. The Governor's proposed budget rescinds that increased revenue. Alice Cole, Public Health Director, did not budget for that increased revenue; therefore, her depai tnient will not have a budget shortfall there. Mr. Lerner stated the total cost savings in Social Services are roughly equal to the total revenue losses in the various departments. There was discussion at the Committee meeting that a clear decision process is wanted for deciding to what extent does the County want to use savings in Social Services to make up for cuts elsewhere, to what extent does the County want to roll some of those savings into the General Fund to reduce next year's tax levy. Mr. Lerner stated he and Scott Heyman were asked to develop a decision making procedure to deal with those issues.

Chairman Stein read the following memorandum submitted by Representative Schuler: " I strongly support the recommendations of the Human Service Space Planning Committee in planning for a project to construct or renovate space for the Departments of Social Services and Probation in a downtown location. Relocating these services to the County seat will benefit clients and staff. By reestablishing service delivery in an accessible environment, all interests will be served. There was extended discussion in which several Board members expressed their preference for a move downtown but a few wanted to keep the option of a new building at the Biggs site open. Ms. Mink considered it useful to carry that option forward as a base case against which to measure other options. A roll call vote on the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes - 14, Noes - 0, Excused - 1 (Representative Schuler). RESOLUTION ADOPTED. WHEREAS, this Board has received and reviewed the report and recommendations of the Human Service Space Planning Committee appointed by the Chairman of the Board, and 110 April 4, 1995 WHEREAS, the Thomas Associates engineering and architectural study authorized by this Board and accepted in 1992 demonstrated that approximately $6,000,000 needs to be spent to modernize the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems in Biggs Building A, and that at a minimum the continued use of Biggs Building A requires that $2,000,000 be spent to continue the remedial repairs needed to improve the indoor air comfort and quality of that building, and WHEREAS, even if the larger of these amounts were expended for a modern, up-to-date heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system in Biggs Building A the County departments included in this planning process all agree that the space in that building would continue to be less than desirable in terms of its ease and efficiency of use, and WHEREAS, if the smaller of these amounts were expended for some modernizing of the ventilation capacity of that building the heating system would still be one designed and built in 1932 and would, according to best engineering estimates, incur very substantial added costs for emergency repairs of failing systems, which could easily result in entire wings of the building having to be vacated for extended periods, and WHEREAS, this Board concurs with the recommendation of that Committee to discontinue any consideration of renovating County buildings at the Biggs Center to provide long-term space for the Social Services, Probation and other departments and agencies, now therefore be it RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Human Service Space Planning Committee, That the Committee is directed to discontinue further expenditure of time or money on planning for renovation of space at the Biggs Center and this Board declares its intention to consider seriously the remaining options outlined by the Committee, construction of new space either at the Biggs Center or in or near downtown Ithaca, or renovation of space in or near downtown Ithaca.

No. 102 of 1995) MOVED by Ms. Mink, seconded by Mr. Meskill. Mr. Proto asked the County Attorney what implication the adoption could have on the pending Biggs A lawsuit. Mr. Theisen, County Attorney, stated the adoption of this resolution does not impact that lawsuit. Ms. Kiefer asked if the "plan" referred to in the third Resolve meant a definitive plan of disposition or use of Biggs A and county lands or if it could mean simply a plan of how to proceed with arriving at such a decision; Ms. Mink said the latter is most likely. A roll call vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 13, Noes - 1 (Representative Totman), Excused - 1 (Representative Schuler). RESOLUTION ADOPTED. WHEREAS, the Human Service Space Planning Committee has received a report from Sutton Associates detailing a variety of options for the location of the health and human service depai t,iients (other than the Mental Health Department) of County government, has thoroughly reviewed that report, has combined the information in that report with the information developed by Thomas Associates, has directly involved affected departments in this review process, has compared and presented to this Board in both narrative and financial format the impacts, advantages, and disadvantages of what the Committee determined to be the most advantageous options available to County government, now therefore be it RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Human Service Space Planning Committee, That the report of that Committee is hereby accepted and this Board directs the Committee to conduct a more detailed exploration of the long and short term fiscal impacts of constructing new space or renovating existing space, other than the Biggs A complex, for the Department of Social Services and Probation and 111 April 4, 1995 such other departments as described in the above -referenced study, if determined by the Committee to be desirable and affordable, RESOLVED, further, That the such exploration shall result in a recommendation by the Committee to this Board for the future location and configuration of space to serve these departments and agencies, RESOLVED, further, That said recommendation shall include, as a condition of this Board's approval of such a Capital Project, a plan for the future of Biggs Building A and all County lands and buildings associated with that structure, RESOLVED, further, That the Committee is directed to continue to work with all affected depaitments and agencies to ensure that they have suitable space for their needs at a reasonable and appropriate cost to the taxpayers of Tompkins County, RESOLVED, further, That the County Capital Program is hereby amended to include authorization to spend up to an additional $100,000, with the source of these funds to be designated as borrowing, to pay the costs of engineering investigations and space planning by the County Division of Engineering and any necessary private engineering or architectural work that may be needed to develop the above -required recommendation.

However, he did not receive any further information on the State budget. Report from the Finance Director Mr. Squires reported he delivered the annual financial report of the County to the Clerk of the Board. This report reflects dynamic growth in the County's financial resources which should help boost the credit rating renewal for the County. He said he also distributed the sales tax report for the County, and commented the local municipalities that share the sales tax are having a healthy increase in income derived from the sales tax; however, the amount the County retains from the sales tax in relatively flat. He stated there is an imbalance in the way income is reported to the County. The County is showing a growth in the three percent sales tax, and a decline in the one percent sales tax. He said there has to be an explanation as the tax is uniformly applied. Mr. Squires noted the difference in sales tax income from inside and outside the City. That ratio has shifted dramatically this period to a 60(outside)/40(inside) split which is the most dramatic it has been. Mr. Squires reported on three items of concern with the first quarter report: The State budget, sales tax, and budget problems with the Depai linent of Motor Vehicles, and the Sheriff's Department. He stated the Sheriff s Department is tracking above budget, and he has 134 May 2, 1995 spoken to Mr. Watkins, Fiscal Coordinator for the Sheriff's Department, about this potential problem. Mr. Watkins reported this is due to employees being out of work on worker's compensation. Another small problem pertains to an unfavorable decision on a property tax case in the amount of $40,000. This amount represents more than the County had on its balance sheets to address property tax cases in 1995. Report from the County Attorney Mr. Theisen had no report.

WHEREAS, the Chairman of the Board of Representatives in January 1994 assigned to the Public Works Committee of this Board the responsibility to determine whether it would be feasible to assign the existing Board of Representatives chambers and office space to the Office of Court Administration as its second felony court room and to assign the existing second felony court room in the Old Courthouse to the Board of Representatives as its chambers and office space, and WHEREAS, the Public Works Committee, and its successor for this project the Facilities and Operations Committee, have determined that this "swap" of space offers many and varied advantages to both County government and the Office of Court Administration including (1) enhanced security for the course as a result of having all operations in a single building, enhanced security for the County as a result of the fact that the District Attorney's offices on the third floor of the main Courthouse would be effectively secured as a result of the fact that the two floors below the District Attorney would be 100 percent court use, and (2) greatly improved public space for Board meetings since the rated capacity of the existing Board room is 49 persons and the capacity of the proposed space in the Old Courthouse is 135 persons, and WHEREAS, investigations and planning have shown that there are substantial personnel configuration and layout problems at the Old Courthouse that would necessitate very significant costs to solve, and that the Office of Court Administration has requested changes in the Main Courthouse space that also would entail very substantial expenditures, and these events have caused the Facilities and Operations Committee to request policy direction from the Board of Representatives for this project, now therefore be it RESOLVED, on recommendations of the Facilities and Operations Committee, That that Committee is directed to consider, research, and propose, in conjunction with the County Capital Program for 1996-2000, a capital project whose goals would be determined after consideration by the full Board of Representatives but which would include: A. For the Public 1) Minimal cost 2) Improved access to official meetings of the County Board 3) Reopening of the front entrance to the Courthouse as the main entrance B. For the Board of Representatives and its staff and District Attorney's offices 1) Improved facilities and environment for the official conduct of County business 2) Provision of a reasonable amount of quiet, private office space with a telephone for use by individual Board members 3) Provision at a reasonable cost of security screening for the office of the District Attorney C. For the Court System 1) Accommodation of the needs of the court system for a 20 year planning period 2) Maximization of benefit from the staff time and money devoted to security measures 3) At a minimum, achievement of full security of sensitive offices and court space; optimal arrangement be full security of floors one through three RESOLVED, further, That the Committee should feel free to propose an option that "trades" Court space in the Old Courthouse for Board space in the main Courthouse but only if the goal of low total cost of the project can be met. In the event that the Office of Court Administration is not willing to accept a low cost alternative for its space, or in the event that the above-mentioned layout problem in the Old Courthouse cannot be solved without the expenditure of a large amount of money, then the 144 May 16, 1995 Committee shall recommend a low-cost option to achieve as many of the above goals as possible without such a "trade" of space.

Mr. Proto stated he has been reviewing Resolution No. 78 of 1995 - Accepting Report and Recommendations of the Human Services Space Planning Committee. He stated the resolution specifically states "to pay the costs of engineering investigations and space planning by the County Division of Engineering, and any necessary private engineering or architectural work that may be needed to develop the above required recommendation." He said the resolution states "and", not "or", and said he was led to believe at the last Board meeting that the $100,000 was going to be spent on hiring an architect and paying for whatever engineering services may be necessary to select a site in downtown Ithaca. He said the direction of the resolution was to provide engineering services for all sites. He said he wants to make sure the money that has been set aside will not only be spent on the review of a downtown site. He said while there was discussion that the County's engineering staff would work on a review of the Biggs A site, this is not stated in the resolution. Mr. Heyman, County Administrator, said that while the adopted resolution does not state that, there was discussion at that Board meeting that the amount and cost of work involved in developing the Biggs A site would be very minimal because the County has owned that land for several years and is very familiar with the utilities, the roads, surface features, traffic patterns, and all of the circumstances there. These are all things that the County is not familiar with in the downtown area, and will have to pay to have these items reviewed for any downtown site. Mr. Heyman stated the process of developing a schematic design, traffic pattern, environmental impact, and everything else at the Biggs site will have to be done, but will be done much easier and at a very minimal cost. This can and will be done by County Engineering staff. Ms. Mink, Human Services Space Planning Committee Chair, concurred with Mr. Heyman's comments, and also noted Resolution No. 78 states an amount up to $100,000. Mrs. Schuler, District No. 4 Representative, announced that the Vassilyostrovsky Children's Choir tour of Ithaca and Upstate New York ended with a farewell concert on June 3. The Choir consisted of 44 young people ages 9-21. It was a wonderful experience - hope for world peaces in the hands of our youths. Mr. Lane, District No. 14 Representative, announced on June 10 the Grange will be sponsoring Dairy Day in Dryden. The purpose of this event is to promote the dairy industry as it is very important in Tompkins County. Mr. Lane said it is important that the County recognize this and support it. Addition of Resolution(s) to the Agenda On motion of the appropriate committee chairmen and duly seconded and unanimously adopted by voice vote, the following resolutions were added to the agenda: Adoption of Communication Plan for Public Information Salaries - Management Staff Endorsing State Legislation Extending Existing Sales and Use Tax Authority of the County of Tompkins In Support of Banning Assault Weapons in New York State 158 June 6, 1995 Withdrawal of Resolution(s) from the Agenda Chairman Stein gave Ms. Blanchard, Transportation Services Committee Chair, permission to withdraw from the agenda the resolution entitled Authorizing a Special Reserve Fund for Ongoing Maintenance Costs Associated with Brown Road.

Report from the County Administrator Mr. Heyman reported on the status of the proposed State budget. Mr. Heyman stated that the proposed compromises at this point do not look good for County government. There is concern there may be additional mandates imposed on County government. Report from the County Attorney Mr. Theisen had no report. He requested an executive session to discuss litigation. Report from Finance Director Mr. Squires reported on June 1 the County received proposals on the financing of $5,355,000 for a series of notes. He said there has been a fifteen percent decline in interest rates over the last four months. Mr. Squires reported the State Audit is on file with the Clerk of the Board. The County will respond to the State with a corrective action plan, and this response will be available for public inspection. A legal advertisement will be published in the Ithaca Journal with this information. In the case of the Sheriff, there is no absolute requirement for the Sheriff to respond. Mr. Theisen, County Attorney stated this Board should respond to the Audit and indicate what action it may be taking or recommending to the Sheriff to correct the problems in the Sheriff's Department. Mr. Stein stated the subjects contained in the Audit will go to program committees where appropriate and then to the Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee. Report from the Facilities and Operations Committee Mr. Winch, Chairman, had no report. He stated the Committee will meet June 7. Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Transportation Services Committee Ms. Blanchard, Chair, distributed the Ithaca Tompkins Transit Center's "Rider's Digest", Volume I, issue I. She said this is a new initiative in trying to get more information to the public about transportation. She reported the Route 96 traffic mitigation committee met this afternoon with representatives of the various media and began to launch what will probably be the largest construction 159 June 6, 1995 project in the history of Tompkins County. The project is scheduled to begin June 19. She said the committee welcomes any suggestions on how to make this project run smoother. RESOLUTION NO. 118 - SUPPORT FOR LEGISLATION AMENDING COUNTY, TOWN AND HIGHWAY LAW IN RELATION TO THE ALTERNATE CLASSIFICATION OF COUNTY AND TOWN LOW-VOLUME ROADS MOVED by Ms. Blanchard, seconded by Mr. Totman. Mr. Meskill stated the Town of Ulysses Board and Highway Superintendent do not support this resolution. He expressed concern that low volume roads that are currently being maintained may not be maintained in the same manner as the economy forces localities to cutback. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 14, Noes - 1 (Representative Meskill). RESOLUTION ADOPTED. WHEREAS, County and Town highway officials have only the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) standards to rely upon when constructing, reconstructing, or maintaining low-volume local roads within their jurisdiction, and WHEREAS, standards for "local roads" promulgated by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials are not appropriate for low-volume roads in rural communities, and WHEREAS, a recognized need exists for alternative design and maintenance guidelines for low- volume roads, and WHEREAS, the development of such guidelines would make possible more appropriate investment in the local road system by keying improvements to the principal uses and traffic volumes, now therefore be it RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Transportation Services Committee, That the Tompkins County Board of Representatives states in support for Senate Bill S.3160 and Assembly Bill A.5428 titled An Act to Amend the County Law, the Highway Law and Town Law in Relation to the Alternate Classification of County and Town Low-volume Roads and urges the speedy passage of same by the New York State Legislature, RESOLVED, further, That the Clerk of the Board of Representatives is authorized to forward a certified copy of this resolution to Assemblyman Martin Luster, and Senators James Seward and John R. Kuhl and to Assemblyman Francis J. Pordum and Senator William J. Larkin who chair legislative committees on local government. SEQR ACTION: TYPE II -15 RESOLUTION NO. 119 - AUTHORIZING A CONTRACT ADDENDUM WITH SERVRITE CORPORATION - TOMPKINS COUNTY AIRPORT MOVED by Ms. Blanchard, seconded by Mr. Totman. It was MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Mrs. Schuler, to make Servrite still pay its share for trash/recycling removal. Ms. Kiefer felt the restaurant should still have to pay its proportional share of the trash removal costs, or otherwise, whomever operates the restaurant will have no incentive to minimize disposal and to recycle. She said that seems like a cost of doing business that should be borne by this business. Mr. Nicholas, Airport Manager, stated an artificial number could be arrived at to charge Servrite for these services. There was discussion that this resolution is based on an agreement that has already been negotiated with Servrite, and if this Board did not wish to adopt this resolution, the agreement would have to be renegotiated. A voice vote on the amendment resulted as follows: Ayes - 2 (Representatives Kiefer and Schuler), Noes - 13. AMENDMENT FAILED. After a lengthy discussion the Question was called. A 160 June 6, 1995 voice vote on calling the question resulted as follows: Ayes - 14, Noes - 1 (Representative Winch). THE QUESTION WAS CALLED. A voice vote on the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes - 14, Noes - 1 (Representative Kiefer). RESOLUTION ADOPTED. WHEREAS, the County entered into a five-year agreement with Servrite to manage the airport restaurant, gift shop, and vending machines, effective April 1, 1994, and WHEREAS, the terms of said agreement were negotiated in good faith with no prior history of this type of operation, and WHEREAS, the terms of said agreement allow the County to charge for a proportional share of terminal operating costs for trash/recycling materials removal, janitorial services performed, and full recovery of debt service in connection with the purchase of restaurant/give shop equipment/furnishings and architectural design services, and WHEREAS, performance statistics for the first year of operation and realistic appraisal of the remaining four years of the agreement, indicate that the original terms negotiated were unrealistic and unattainable, now therefore be it RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Transportation Services Committee, That said agreement be amended to relieve Servrite from the obligation to make payments for their proportional share of trash/recycling materials removal, their proportional share of janitorial services, and for recover of debt service in connection with restaurant/gift shop equipment/furnishings currently due and for the remainder of said agreement which expires March 31, 1999, RESOLVED, further, That in the event the County exercises its option to renew said agreement with Servrite on March 31, 1999, for an additional five-year period until March 31, 2004, the County shall have the right to revoke the terms of the addendum agreement in full or in part, or to continue with the amended terms until the end of the second five-year term, RESOLVED, further, That the County Administrator be and hereby is authorized to execute an addendum to the agreement with Servrite which reflects these changes. SEQR ACTION: TYPE I1-15 RESOLUTION NO. 120 - AUTHORIZING SUPPLEMENTARY AGREEMENT WITH C&S ENGINEERS, INC., FOR ADDITIONAL INSPECTION SERVICES - TERMINAL RAMP & TAXIWAY CONNECTORS - TOMPKINS COUNTY AIRPORT MOVED by Ms. Blanchard, seconded by Mr. Winch. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 13, Noes - 2 (Representatives Schuler and Todd). RESOLUTION ADOPTED. WHEREAS, construction of the terminal ramp and taxiway connectors overran the contract term for the construction activity and additional consultants time for inspection of the work became necessary, over and above that covered by the consultants' contract, and WHEREAS, the costs associated with the additional consultant work will be deducted from monies due to the contractor under a liquidated damages clause and that this supplementary agreement will not result in an increase of project costs to the County, now therefore be it RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Transportation Services Committee, That a supplementary agreement with C&S Engineers for $16,480 to cover additional inspection and other administrative costs, be hereby approved and that the County Administrator be authorized to execute said supplementary agreement, subject to approval by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT). SEQR ACTION: TYPE II - 15 161 June 6, 1995 RESOLUTION NO. 121 - AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR REPAIR OF THE CRASH/FIRE/RESCUE BUILDING'S ROOF - TOMPKINS COUNTY AIRPORT MOVED by Ms. Blanchard, seconded by Mr. Meskill, and unanimously adopted by voice vote. WHEREAS, the Division of Purchasing and Central Services has solicited bids for services in connection with repair of the Crash/Fire/Rescue Building's roof at the Tompkins County Airport, and WHEREAS. Eastern Roofing, Inc., of Binghamton, New York was the lowest responsible bidder, now therefore be it RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Transportation Services Committee, That the contract for repair of said roof be awarded to Eastern Roofing, Inc., for $4,600 and that payment be made from the airport's operating budget, RESOLVED, further, That the County Administrator be and hereby is authorized to execute an agreement on behalf of Tompkins County.

SEQR ACTION: TYPE II -15 Presentation of 1996 Budget Information by the Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee Mr. Lerner, Chairman, began the presentation stating he and the Committee appointed eight task forces this year that included Board members, members of the Budget Reorganization Advisory Committee, Department heads, Administration, and other County employees. The packet of information Board members received with their agendas represents several thousands of hours of work. He extended a thank you to all who were involved in the process. Mr. Lerner stated the following resolution and 165 June 6, 1995 task force reports taken together represent some fundamental changes in the ways the County goes about developing and implementing the budgeting process in the course of the year. Last year a lot of work was done which mainly had the effect of changing the appearance of budget documents. This year changes are being made that are less visible but will go a good deal deeper in corresponding to the changes that were made last year. Mr. Lerner noted that once resolutions have been approved, the official fiscal policy will be revised to correspond to the resolutions. The reports were initially presented to the Board in one resolution. At the request of Mr. Lane, the Board concurred to adopt each task force report separately. RESOLUTION NO. 127 - ADOPTION OF ORGANIZING PUBLIC INPUT INTO COUNTY BUDGET DECISIONS PROPOSAL OF THE BUDGET REORGANIZATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE MOVED by Mr. Lerner, seconded by Ms. Mink, and unanimously adopted by voice vote. RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee, That the attached Proposal of the Budget Reorganization Advisory Committee on Organizing Public Input into County Budget Decisions is hereby adopted. SEQR ACTION: TYPE I1-15 ORGANIZING PUBLIC INPUT INTO COUNTY BUDGET DECISIONS: A PROPOSAL FROM THE BUDGET REORGANIZATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE Revised May 29, 1995 A. BACKGROUND As stated in the charge given to the Budget Reorganization Advisory Committee (BRAC) at the time of its formation, it is hoped that BRAC can bring "good government" experience to the task of budget re -organization, and to the process by which the budget is prepared, reviewed and adopted, including processes for establishing priorities. Although significant progress was made last year in the administrative processes by which the budget is prepared, reviewed and adopted, two areas were less successful or neglected altogether: obtaining public input and developing processes for prioritization. The position is taken here that: a) prioritization of public spending is a necessity in times of scarce and dwindling resources; and b) one of the most fundamental principles of good government is that priorities should reflect the values, concerns and needs of the public.' Whereas few would argue with the above position at a theoretical level, the challenge lies in obtaining public input from a broad cross-section of the community and organizing that input in a form that is both timely and useful to election officials. A related challenge, in the face of complex problems and often conflicting demands from the public, is ensuring that elected officials can exercise discretion in decision-making (as they were elected to do) but can still make decisions that take account of the expressed values, concerns and needs of the public. Current mechanisms for obtaining broad public input are widely acknowledged as inadequate at best. A passive posture regarding public input tends to perpetuate strong biases in the input that elected officials receive and forces decision -makers to rely upon their own values and their perceptions of the values, concerns and needs of their constituents. There is a vast scope for developing innovative and more effective approaches. In formulating such approaches it is useful to define clear principles to serve as guideposts for strategy design and a basis for evaluating the effectiveness of such strategies. The following principles are proposed: 1. Public input should represent the values, concerns and needs of diverse groups within the community and special efforts may be required to obtain input from groups whose voices are often not heard; The term "prioritization" has different meanings for different people. To some, it implies a rigid decision-making algorithm that locks -in legislators to fund certain programs over others. This is not the sense in which it is used here 166 June 6, 1995 2. To be useful to decision -makers, public input should be based on informed discussion of specific policy issues and the budgetary and other constraints facing county government; 3. To be useful to decision -makers, forums for obtaining public input must be conducted in an environment of safety, respect, orderliness and a desire to gain mutual understanding; 4. Decision -makers (elected officials and department head) should be direct participants in forums for obtaining input and should be provided the opportunity to establish a meaningful dialogue with the public; 5. To ensure fairness and credibility, the forums should be convened, facilitated and the results documented by non -partial organizations with the professional capacity to perform these functions. 6. The forums and the results emanating from them should be accessible to the public at large in order to enhance their educational value, generate further interest in public participation, and begin to restore confidence in representative government; 7. A mechanism should be developed to ensure that the information arising from public forums is considered to the greatest extent possible to subsequent budget and program decisions, including resource allocations, and to ensure that the information is not misused in the process. The following public information strategy is proposed that is based on the above principles. It is also based on the currently accepted "outreach principle" that participation in any new activity is far more likely to occur through word-of-mouth communication, preferably among people known to each other, than through mass media or other anonymous solicitations. B. MAIN ELEMENTS OF A PUBLIC INPUT PLAN 1. It is proposed that the Public Input Plan be designed and implemented through the efforts of a Steering Committee and trained facilitators to be identified by the County Administrator's (CA) office. It is also proposed that this strategy be examined in relation to the activities of the Partners for Quality and the Rural Affairs Committee, to determine where coordination may be necessary, and how it might best be accomplished. 2. It is proposed that the Steering Committee would be responsible for overseeing the development and implementation of this process. It is further proposed that the Steering Committee would be chaired by BRAC and include two BRAC members in total, plus two Board of Representatives members to be selected by the Chairman of the Board, and a representative from the CA's office. The Steering Committee would be responsible for making all decisions concerning the number, location, timing, content and conduct of the public forums, recruitment and publicity strategies, ways to handle the information arising from these forums, and ways to protect the legitimacy and fairness of the process. It is proposed that the professional facilitators participate in meetings of this steering committee in order to add their expertise to these decisions and be fully informed as to the wishes of the Committee. The logistical and administrative aspects would be arranged jointly the CA office and the facilitating organizations. 3. A variety of organizations exist in the County that can assist this process. It is proposed that the CA's office identify appropriate organizations and establish any contractual arrangements that may be necessary. The Steering Committee should report back to the Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee for approval of County expenditures related to this Plan. 4. It is proposed that a realistic objective in this first year is to hold three meetings in each of three County locations (September, October and November). Two meetings would be held in outer towns and one in Ithaca. The location of these meetings in rural and urban areas is only for the convenience of the public, with the recognition that there are advantages to having mixed participants in such meetings. An important objective is to get a core of participants that would be willing to participate in several or all meetings. Specific strategies are needed to maintain such motivation and interest. 5. It is proposed that a variety of recruitment strategies be employed to identify participants in the public forums. Possibilities include volunteers serving on various County boards, members of community organizations, use of existing networks (e.g., personal, neighborhood, occupations, etc.), among others. The objective is to identify a relatively small number (e.g., 20-30) of people with diverse viewpoints and circumstances to participate in forums in each location. BRAC and the Steering Committee should consider how to obtain groups that are on the small side (and therefore manageable for 167 June 6, 1995 generating a meaningful dialogue) while not creating an exclusive process. Experiences last year indicated that we need not be concerned bout being deluged with members of the public, such that we may end up with small groups even if the standard methods of publicizing meetings is used (e.g., print, Public Service Announcements, Channel 53). 6. The names, addresses and telephone numbers of the core participants would be maintained in a database (with their permission) to enable BRAC to mobilize regular as well as ad hoc public forums in future years. Thus, a semi-permanent structure would be created for generating meaningful public input on specific or broad issues of importance to the County. 7. There is a advantage in having BRAC maintain the above database and be as involved as possible in the recruitment process and "between meeting contacts" to sustain the interest of participants. The advantage is in preserving the image that is a citizen -led process for discussing public issues an d for providing public input to elected officials. BRAC and the Steering Committee need to give serious thought as to how to ensure that this image matches with the reality. 8. Since the primary purpose of these meetings is to provide public input to elected officials, meetings should be scheduled well in advance and at times when elected officials can be sure to attend meetings involving their own constituents and some of the rural and urban "mixed meetings" referred to above. In addition, the Steering Committee should consider appropriate ways to document the input received at each meeting and to present that to the Board of Representatives, back to the public, and other relevant parties (e.g., department heads, town and city officials). **** RESOLUTION NO. 128 - ADOPTION OF PROGRAM BASED BUDGETING TASK FORCE RECOMMENDATIONS MOVED by Mr. Lerner, seconded by Mr. Joseph, and unanimously adopted by voice vote. RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee, That the attached Recommendations of the Program Based Budgeting Task Force are hereby adopted except for recommendations about specific departments, budgeting units, and programs which are reviewable by Board program committees. SEQR ACTION: TYPE I1-15 Recommendations of the Program -based Budgeting Task Force The Program -based Budgeting Task Force recommends that the County implement true program - based budgeting beginning with the preparation of the 1996 County budget. The Fiscal Policy and administrative policies should be recommended to reflect the following. Budgeting Units and Programs The word "program" is used ambiguously in County fiscal policy. The task force recommends making our terminology more clear and precise. The term "program" should no longer be used as a synonym for "budgeting unit". In brief, budgeting units represent policy -level budgeting decisions; programs are groups of related services. These two concepts relate to one another differently in different areas of the budget (see appendix). Budgeting Units Budgeting units should replace departments as the primary subject of budget decision. They exist to delineate where Board action on budget transfers is necessary. Every County expense should be assigned to one of about 75-100 budgeting units. Only budgeting units should receive appropriations, have fiscal targets, or apply for special requests. Contingent Funds are a special type of budgeting unit that receive appropriations but do not have fiscal targets; they are budgeted directly by the Board and do not have program objectives. Each department shall be made up of one or more budgeting units. Every budgeting unit will be a page in the budget. Every department with more than one budgeting unit will also have a summary page in the budget. Some budgeting units include only grants to not-for-profit 168 June 6, 1995 agencies and are not part of any department. Department heads have great discretion in spending budgeted funds within a budgeting unit. However, department heads may not transfer funds within budgeting units without a Board vote, even if they are within the same department. (Department heads, of course, must also restrict fund transfers within a budgeting unit if such restrictions are imposed by state or federal law or regulation). Program "Program" is defined in the Tompkins County Fiscal Policy as: A service which is a recognized part of a department's ongoing operation and is made available to residents, clients, patients, and customers during the normal business hours of the department, and the administrative activity to support that service. It represents the equivalent of at least a half-time trained staff member and/or expenses of at least $20,000 of the depaitnient's operating budget and is a primary purpose of the department as stated in the department's mission statement. The service provided is a distinct, formally structured part of the department's operation with regularly assigned, appropriately trained staff and/or an organized set of policies and procedures. The service provided lends itself to measurement of input and of outcomes. All County expenses are for some program. Every program should be part of some budgeting unit. The word "program" should be reserved for what are now primarily called subprograms, plus some current programs and all not-for-profit agency grants. The term "subprogram" should be dropped altogether. Unless a program is also designated as a budgeting unit it would not have a fiscal target. Actual expenses should be broken out by programs. In doing so, reasonable estimates and pro -rating formulas may be used. If a program that is part of a larger budgeting unit is designated as a cost saver, the consequences of that designation should be applied just to the cost saver program, to the extent possible. If the Board approved a special request on behalf of a program that is part of a larger budgeting unit, the special request is construed simply as a change in the budget (and perhaps target) of the budgeting unit, unless the Board resolution explicitly restricts spending otherwise, e.g., for a special request for a cost saver program included in a larger budgeting unit. The Board program committee may specify additional reporting requirements in these instances. Ideally, information about each program should be included in budget proposal packets, including mission statements, program descriptions, staffing, goals, budget lines, measurable objectives and program statistics. This may not be possible for every program. Fund transfers Administrative Policy 05-04 spells out how funds may be transferred within a department from one budget line to another. The present wording can remain intact, but must now be understood to apply to budget transfers within a budgeting unit rather than a department. In brief, fund transfers require information -only notification to the Board program committee, which has the authority to overrule the transfer. Budget lines For budgeting purposes, the number of lines in a budgeting unit's budget should be greatly reduced to only the following. No approval outside the department should be required for changes that do not affect the total for a budget line. Departments will plan spending in-house in finer -grained categories than these, which will also be used for recording actual expenses. Salaries - Individual positions should be itemized on the budget forms, but the total budgeting unit salary amount is a single budget line. Fringe benefits - The fringe budget line will be calculated as a fixed percentage of the budgeting unit's salary line, as spelled out in the report of the Technical Issues Task Force. Equipment (non -capital) Class A mandates - These are payments to or on behalf of service recipients; they are excluded from targets and are ineligible to be reappropriated in a subsequent year. Not-for-profit agency grants - Each grant is a separate budget line and a program. Grants are distinguished from not-for-profit agency vendor contracts as spelled out in the recommendations of the Ad Hoc Task Force on budgeting for not -for -profits. 169 June 6, 1995 Capital - Capital projects are one-time physical betterments costing more than $25 thousand. The annual costs of the Capital Program should be assigned to budgeting units. Each capital project will be a separate budget line in some budgeting unit. New capital proposals should be treated as the equivalent of special requests. Some capital expenses should be included in fiscal targets, others not; the Board will determine this on a case-by-case basis. The Capital Program defined in the County Charter should be a summary of the capital expenses scattered through the operating budget. Midyear changes in the Capital Program will still require Capital Program Committee action and a two-thirds vote of the Board of Representatives. Contractual services and supplies - This shall be a single budget line including Centrally Distributed Items, departmental overhead and administrative costs. Contracts for services or products. Vendors may be for-profit businesses, other governments, not-for-profit agencies, or other County departments. Large contracts should be itemized on the budget forms. Supplies. Miscellaneous expenses not categorized above. Revenues - There should be separate revenue lines for General Revenue, Fees, State Aid, Federal Aid, Grant Funding, Payments from Other County Departments, and all other dedicated revenues. 1996 fiscal targets After the Board of Representatives enacts changes in fiscal targets in connection with the Fringe Pool, and then enacts any changes in those targets for 1996 budget preparation, departments with more than one budgeting unit should propose a pro -ration of their target among their budgeting units. The sum of the budgeting unit targets must equal the departmental target. The division of that departmental target into budgeting unit targets may be amended by the Board as the budget proposal is reviewed. Once the 1996 budget is adopted, and the new accounting system is fully on line, the budgeting unit targets will be retained and the depaitniental targets abolished. Since 1996 is the first year in which this pro -ration of targets will be used the Board should be prepared to be flexible in adjusting budgeting unit targets. Changes from 1995 The task force has recommended to depai lnient heads some changes in how their depai Intents are divided into budgeting units and programs. Also, the Ad Hoc Task Force on not-for-profit agencies has recommended some changes in how some agency grants are assigned to budgeting units. All these changes will be reviewed by program committees, the budget committee, and the Board. Implementation The County's new financial management system will not be fully on line until approximately mid-1996. The 1996 budget will be prepared using the new system of targets for budgeting units. It should be understood, however, that implementation of some aspects of this policy may not be possible until 1997 budget preparation. In particular, tracking of actual expenses to budgeting units and programs instead of to departments may not be fully possible in 1996. Appendix A Departments, Budgeting Units and Programs Ten departments are entire Budgeting Units. Seven of these Budgeting Units include two or more programs (COFA, STOP DWI, Assigned Counsel, Human Rights, Board of Representatives, Board of Elections, Personnel). Three of these Budgeting Units are entire programs (District Attorney, Weights and Measures, County Attorney). Ten departments include more than one Budgeting Unit. Eight of these depat intents' Budgeting Units include more than one program Mental Health, Planning, Public Health, DSS, Youth Bureau, Sheriff, Finance, Probation). Two of these departments' Budgeting Units are entire programs (Fire, Disaster, 170 June 6, 1995 and EMS, County Clerk). Two departments include divisions (Public Works, Administration). Administration has three divisions. Two divisions are entire Budgeting Units, each of which includes two programs (Assessment, Data Processing). One division is an entire Budgeting Unit (County Administrator). One Budgeting Unit is not part of any division (CDI). Public Works has six divisions. Three divisions include two or more Budgeting Units, each of which is an entire program (County Road, B&G, Solid Waste). Three divisions are entire Budgeting Units. Two divisions include two or more programs (Airport, Engineering). One division is an entire program (Tomtran). Five Budgeting Units are not-for-profit entities (TCCC, Cooperative Extension, Tompkins County Public Library, Human Services Coalition, EOC). Five Budgeting Units are clusters of not-for-profit agency grants. Each grant is both a program and a line item in the Budgeting Unit's budget (History, Arts, and Cultural Enrichment; HSC Human Service Agencies; Economic Development; Tourism Promotion; Criminal Justice and Legal Services). One Budgeting Unit consists entirely of Class A mandated payments for clients (Outside Community Colleges). One Budgeting Unit does not include a program (Contingent Fund). APPENDIX B RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE PROGRAM BASED BUDGETING TASK FORCE HEALTH & ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY COMMITTEE HEALTH DEPARTMENT PROGRAMS: Recommendation 1.

RESOLUTION NO. 129 - ADOPTION OF AD HOC TASK FORCE ON PROGRAM BASED BUDGETING FOR NOT-FOR-PROFIT AGENCIES RECOMMENDATIONS MOVED by Mr. Lerner, seconded by Mr. Joseph, and unanimously adopted by voice vote. RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee, That the attached recommendations in the memorandum dated May 15, 1995 of the Ad Hoc Task Force on Program Based Budgeting for Not -for -Profit Agencies is hereby adopted except for recommendations about specific agencies which are reviewable by Board program committees. SEQR ACTION: TYPE I1-15 REPORT OF THE AD HOC TASK FORCE ON PROGRAM -BASED BUDGETING FOR NOT- FOR-PROFIT AGENCIES Not-for-profit agencies and program based budgeting May 15, 1995 Recently Marge Dill, Nancy Burston, Tim Joseph, Eric Lerner and Kathy West met twice as an ad hoc task force to sort out some confusing points in how not-for-profit agency contracts fit into program -based budgeting. This report summarizes our recommendations, and identifies some questions that remain to be answered. The Fiscal Policy should be amended to reflect the following. Grants and Vendor contracts. The County has dozens of contracts with NFPs. These are of two types: vendor contracts, and grants. We recommend that every NFP contract should be clearly designated as fitting into one of these two categories. Vendor contracts. Under a vendor contract, the County pays the vendor for providing a product or service to some department of County government. Such contracts are negotiated by the relevant County department, and are included in the "Contract Services and Supplies" line of program budgets as the equivalent of contracts with for-profit vendors. Grants. A grant is an appropriation of County funds to a NFP for the purpose of supporting the work of that agency, or some specific aspect of that work. Grants include (but are not limited to) contracts reviewed by the Human Services Coalition and by the County Youth Bureau. Each grant should appear as both a program and a line item in the budget of some budgeting unit, and should be part of the fiscal target of that budgeting unit. The final determination of the amount of such grants should be determined by the Board of Representatives. Large grants. Some large NFP contracts are entire budgeting units: TCCC, TC Library, Cooperative Extension, and the Human Services Coalition. We recommend that after approval of the new rent subsidy agreement with EOC, that EOC also be treated as a separate budgeting unit. The role of the HSC in reviewing this new BU needs to be clarified. 173 June 6, 1995 Clusters of small grants. If a program is a cluster of several grants outside of any County depaitment, someone should be designated to fill the role of the depal Intent head in preparing the budgeting unit's budget and designating what falls within the fiscal target and what is a special request. Until someone suggests a more euphonious name, let us call that the quasi -department head (QDH). Unclustered small grants. We recommend that making small grants into stand-alone budgeting units in the County budget be avoided as much as possible. That tends to attract unwarranted attention to small appropriations. Each grant should be included as a program in some larger budgeting unit, either in some County department, or clustered with other grants into a budgeting unit. Municipal sales tax agreements. We recommend that all grants that the County took over from the City and the Towns as a result of the 1993 sales tax agreement be, as much as possible, blended into the programs and budgeting units where those agencies are already included. There should be an annual confirmation that the resulting budgets are in compliance with the agreements with the City and the Towns. Human Service programs. We recommend that budgeting units #38 (Basic Subsistence and Income Security) and #39 (Individual and Family Life) be combined into a single budgeting unit, with the Human Services Coalition as QDH. The following changes should be made: Include Literacy Volunteers from BU #2. Include Ithaca Rape Crisis and Task Force for Battered Women from BU #65. Transfer EOC Outreach to new EOC BU. We recommend that the grants in BU #36 (Youth Programs) be itemized as programs in the budget. Public Safety programs. We recommend that the HSC also act as QDH for BU #65 (Criminal Justice and Legal Services). OAR should be two programs: Bail Fund and Jail Volunteer Program. HSC should review OAR and Alcoholism Council ATI grants on behalf of the ATI/CJ Board. The County Administrator should provide HSC with budget amounts for Unified Court System and Justices and Constables. If the County creates a criminal justice coordinator in 1996, that person should work with the HSC and ATI/CJB in reviewing these programs, and perhaps serve as QDH. PCDE programs. We recommend that a QDH be designated for BU #2 (History, Arts and Cultural Enrichment), possibly the County Administrator. Town Libraries and the Finger Lakes Library System should be moved into this BU and separated from the County library, which should be a stand-alone BU. We also recommend that the grants in BU #47 (Tourism Promotion) be itemized as programs in the budget. Remaining questions. There are unresolved questions about several NFP contracts. The appropriate Board program committee should make a recommendation on each, for review by B&FP and approval by the Board. In each case, the committee should recommend whether a contract is a vendor contract or a grant, what BU it should be part of, and who should be QDH. Southern Tier East Regional Planning and Development Board Contracts in BU #6 (Community Mental Health Services) Contracts taken over from the City and Towns which are included in a County department Multi -cultural Resource Center Health Planning Council Soil and Water Conservation EOC Homeless Shelter Aidswork SPCA TCAD Town libraries Recommendations must take into account the following: Every contract must be designated either as a grant or a vendor contract. Every vendor contract must be included in the budget of a County department. Every grant must be a program in some budgeting unit, either in a department, in a cluster of several grants, or by itself. Every budgeting unit that is a cluster of small grants must have a QDH, someone 174 June 6, 1995 responsible for making an initial budget recommendation and identifying special requests. Small grants (less than $100,000) should be stand-alone budgeting units only as a last resort. RESOLUTION NO. 130 - ADOPTION OF BUDGET POLICY TASK FORCE REPORTS MOVED by Mr. Lerner, seconded by Mr. Joseph. It was MOVED by Mr. Lane, seconded by Mr. Proto, to amend the section pertaining to rollover funds to change the wording: "normally the Board intends to approve requests to reappropriate unspent funds from the old year to the new" to read: "normally the Board intends to approve requests to reappropriate unspent funds up to fifty percent from the old year to the new". A roll call vote on the amendment resulted as follows: Ayes - 2 (Representatives Lane and Proto); Noes - 13. AMENDMENT FAILED. It was MOVED by Mr. Lane seconded by Mr. Proto to amend the same wording as above: "normally the Board intends to approve requests to reappropriate unspent funds from the old year to the new" to read: "normally the Board intends to approve requests to reappropriate unspent funds up to twenty percent from the old year to the new". A roll call vote on the amendment resulted as follows: Ayes - 4 (Representatives Kiefer, Lane, Proto and Schuler); Noes - 11. AMENDMENT FAILED. Mr. Meskill said he wanted assurance that the approval of rollover funds must go through program committees, as well as the Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee. Mr. Heyman stated requests to use rollover funds will go through program committees and the Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee, and said this is outlined in the Administrative Manual. A voice vote on the original resolution resulted as follows: Ayes - 12, Noes - 3 (Representatives Lane, Proto and Schuler). RESOLUTION ADOPTED. RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee, That the attached Report of the Budget Policy Task Force is hereby adopted. SEQR ACTION: TYPE I1-15 Report of the Budget Policy Task Force as amended by the Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee Targets, special requests and COLAs. These areas of county fiscal policy are working effectively and need little change beyond the recommendation of the Program -based Budget Task Force that budgeting units replace departments as the subject of these policies. In brief, a fiscal target is the amount of money a budgeting unit may include in its budget without submitting a special request. A special request is a request for funding above target level. The Board may decide annually whether to increase all targets equally to accommodate inflation. Mandates. The definition of mandate classes should be revised to eliminate the requirement that Class A mandates must be entire budgeting units. Instead, Class A mandates should be defined as mandated payments to and on behalf of clients, and should be included as a line in the budget of a budgeting unit. The actual expenses identified as mandated and exempted from fiscal targets will be little changed. Old Landfills should be reclassified as Class B; and Justices & Constables and Unified Court System as Class C. Jail Boardouts and special prosecutors may become eligible to be classified as A mandates. Fund Balance Shortfalls. When the books are closed on the previous year, fund balances may be found to fall short of targets. This may result from low sales tax revenues, high Class A mandate costs, or other unexpected events. By June 1 of each year, the Finance Director should formally notify the Board if fund 175 June 6, 1995 balances are below target at the end of the previous year. The county administrator should submit for board review a plan to correct any such shortfall. The plan should take into account all relevant New York State laws. The plan could restore the General Fund Balance through mid -year budget reductions. Class A mandates and costs savers should be exempted. Other budgeting units may be exempted if so acted on by the Board (with or without the County Administrator's recommendation). Reductions recommended by the County Administrator may be, but need not be across the board. Alternatively, the plan could include actions in that Fall's budget review process for the following year. The Board will decide whether to accept, revise, or reject the Administrator's proposed plan. Mid -year budget process. Several budget -related items call for Board action in May or June of each year. To the extent possible, these should be included in one integrated mid -year budget process. Review of fund balances at end of previous year. Reappropriation of unspent funds from previous year. Budget changes in response to new NYS budget. Changes in fiscal targets, mandate classification and cost saver designations for the following year's budget. Budget guidelines for the following year's budget. Reappropriation of unspent funds (rollover). Department heads should have flexibility to use funds wisely, regardless of arbitrary boundaries between budget years. Programs should not be penalized for efficiency. There should not be incentives for "use -it -or -lose -it" spending. Normally, the Board intends to approve requests to reappropriate unspent funds from the old year into the new. However, rollover policy should be better integrated with budgeting and planning, and certain special cases should be identified. Rollover approval process. Approval of rollover of unspent funds should be limited to budget appropriations at just two points in the calendar. 1) Budget proposals. A budgeting unit may choose to include a rollover request in its budget proposal for the following year, without a special request. If approved, that amount would be subtracted from the current year appropriation and added to the amount that may be included in the new year's budget. If not approved, the funds would remain in the current year appropriation. A budgeting unit may amend its budget proposal to include a rollover request any time before the Board adopts the new year budget. 2) Year-end closeout. When the books are closed on the previous year, the Finance Director will indicate unspent funds in each budgeting unit's appropriation that are eligible for rollover. Budgeting units may then request to reappropriate such funds to the new year's budget, or to include them in the budget proposal for the following year, to be submitted in July. All rollover requests should be submitted for review by program committees, the budget committee and the Board as part of a single resolution. Any funds not reappropriated in that resolution permanently revert to the general fund. Eligibility. Normally, unspent funds from the following sources will be approved for rollover: Grant with mismatched fiscal year. Department head decision to postpone an expense or program activity to following year. Depai tinent head decision to forego an expense or program activity. Bid price on contract lower than budgeted. Position temporarily vacant. Funds reserved for equipment purchase, e.g. vehicle or PERS New efficiencies. Correction of bookkeeping error. Small residues in non -personnel accounts. Ineligible. Funds from the following sources are not eligible for rollover: Class A mandates Reductions in fringe benefit premiums Capital program items 176 June 6, 1995 County Administrator recommendation. Before the Board acts on rollover requests, the County Administrator should inform the Board of the following cases, and should recommend against reappropriating funds whenever he judges that circumstances make it unwise to do so. Surpluses resulting from increases in state or federal aid formulas. Single events or program changes that result in surpluses greater than $50,000. Surpluses resulting from positions that remained vacant for longer than six months. Surpluses resulting from rate increases for fees charged to other county departments. Surpluses resulting from poor management decisions. Surpluses resulting from variations in revenue from other county departments. Surpluses resulting from variations in fee revenues. Rollover and the Contingent Fund. If a budgeting unit receives a contingent fund (or general fund) appropriation during the year, that amount should be subtracted from its rollover eligibility at year-end, with the following exceptions: Terminal pay and disability pay after two months, as currently defined in the Fiscal Policy Any appropriation that the Board explicitly votes to exclude from this requirement. Variations in state reimbursement. Some departments that are heavily state -aided have complex problems including slow state payments, inadequate state documentation, mismatched fiscal years, audits that require reimbursement to the state, and more -- and occasionally unbudgeted mid -year increases in state aid. Surpluses resulting from these factors should be identified separately from other surpluses in the same budgeting units, and should be acted on appropriately. Snow removal. The county should develop a rational method of budgeting for snow removal to stabilize long-term costs in this area, despite annual variations in the weather. Budgeting for uncertainty. It is always appropriate for a budgeting unit to plan for and budget for events which cannot be predicted with certainty, and/or whose cost cannot be accurately predicted. This can be done by including reasonably estimated amounts in the budget lines described in the Program - based Budget Task Force report. Such planning may include rollover funds or funds already included in fiscal targets. However, it is normally inappropriate to make a special request for this purpose. Reappropriation of funds increases the budget of a budgeting unit without making any change in its fiscal target. RESOLUTION NO. 131 - ADOPTION OF BUDGET REVIEW TASK FORCE REPORT MOVED by Mr. Lerner, seconded by Ms. Mink. It was MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, to amend the fourth to the last box under Part 1 to read: "Board of Representatives meets as a Committee of a whole to recommend a budget." MOTION FAILED FOR LACK OF A SECOND. A voice vote on the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes - 15, Noes - 0. RESOLUTION ADOPTED. RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee, That the attached Report of the Budget Review Task Force is hereby adopted.

The County Administrator shall determine whether to recommend all, some, or none of the funding requested based on the following criteria: a) Whether the funding requested, and the manner in which it is proposed to be spent, is considered very likely to accomplish the stated objective(s). This shall take into account the management strength and approach of the requesting department or agency. b) Whether the County Administrator concurs with the Department Head's or agency director's recommendation that the program changes for which special request funding is being sought should not instead be made by reducing funding elsewhere in the department's program budgets, nor be accommodated through improved efficiency, nor be provided more appropriately by another organization. c) Whether funding can be provided within any overall fiscal guidelines provided by the Board of Representatives. d) Whether funding is consistent with any Board of Representatives guidelines with respect to service delivery objectives for County government -- whether any vision has been articulated, directions set, measures of public support identified, or indicators of severity of community need for particular service established. REPORT OF THE BUDGET REVIEW TASK FORCE - PART 3 COST SAVERS: Criteria, Procedures for Review and Approval, and Consequences Recommendation of the Budget Review Task Force as amended by B&FP Committee on 9 May 95 Criteria To be designated a Cost Saver, a budgeting unit or program must meet all of the following criteria: 1. Only an entire budgeting unit or program may be designated as a cost saver. 2. The budgeting unit or program must provide services funded by general revenues. 3. By providing those services, the budgeting unit or program must clearly reduce County spending in other County budgeting unit or programs, or increase revenue to the general fund. 4. The amount of savings or increased revenues must equal or exceed the total County fiscal sponsorship of the entire designated budgeting unit or program. 5. The savings from providing the proposed services must be achieved within the same fiscal year or within the following two fiscal years. 6. A reduction in services in the designated budgeting unit or program would result in a net increase in costs or decrease in revenue to Tompkins County. Procedures for Designation 1. For determinations of Cost Saver status during 1995 for the 1996 budget the members of the Budget Review Task Force, minus the two department heads, shall serve as the committee to screen requests. In subsequent years the budget committee of the Board of Representatives shall designate the review body that shall make initial recommendations on cost saver status. 2. The designated review body shall recommend on all requests for cost saver status to the appropriate program committee. The program committee recommendations should be recommended upon by the budget 179 June 6, 1995 committee and voted upon by the Board of Representatives as part of the guidelines -setting procedure each year, but in any event must precede budget preparation. 3. Requests for renewal of designation may consist of the original application with any needed updates on objectives, accomplishments, or methods, and accompanied by documentation of savings or revenue gains achieved. 4. Cost Savers are designated for one year at a time. Consequences of Designation 1. Cost Savers are exempt from any across-the-board cuts. 2. Cost Savers are flagged on all budget documents that the Board of Representatives reviews so that any proposals to increase or reduce spending authority will be reviewed with full knowledge of that status. **** RESOLUTION NO. 132 - ADOPTION OF STATISTICS TASK FORCE REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS MOVED by Mr. Lerner, seconded by Mr. Proto. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 14, Noes - 1 (Representative Winch). RESOLUTION ADOPTED. RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee, That the Report and Recommendations of the Statistics Task Force are hereby adopted. SEQR ACTION: TYPE I1-15 REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS TO TOMPKINS COUNTY BUDGET AND FISCAL POLICY COMMITTEE FROM TASK FORCE ON STATISTICS MAY 17, 1995 Situation: The Task Force on Statistics was charged to propose changes in the performance evidence, documentation, and/or statistics for the various Programs in Tompkins County Government Departments. The Task Force reviewed the theoretical issues of amassing evidence through statistics, how statistics fit into the Mission -Goals -Objectives -Strategies -Activities model central to Partnership for Quality (PFQ), and some of the proposed statistical evidence for programs during fiscal 1995. The outcomes of this review are that: 1) although statistics have may `ideals' for achievement, these ideals are often too expensive to be implemented cost beneficially by departments and programs -- thus statistics used by programs will usually be based on an optimization of several considerations; 2) many of the statistics proposed by programs for 1995 do not or will not demonstrate the achievement of proposed objectives; 3) considerable confusion exists by nearly everyone on the relation of budgets to the statistics on program goal achievement; and 4) statistics actually used by programs are best determined by program staff in consultation with those most familiar with the nature of statistics and of their use in PFQ. Staff members have to understand the statistics used and be committed to their use before they will be used effectively. Recommendation: The Task Force on Statistics recommends that a training program on statistical performance indicators of program goals and objectives be established for program managers and staff so that its results can be used in preparing the budget for fiscal year 1997. This training program should 180 June 6, 1995 take place between January and May, 1996, that is, in time to be used in preparing the 1997 budget. Preparation for the training should take place between now and January 1996. Key issues in preparing for the training between now and January 1996 are to put in place 1) a training team and 2) a curriculum. The Task Force on Statistics does not believe it can put a curriculum together for the training, or do the training in this timeframe. Professionals who train in PFQ processes probably already have such a program and curriculum, and should be hired to do at least part of the training, e.g., of program managers and identified facilitators, who could then train the remaining program staffs. Such training would thus be much more integral, as it should be, with the PFQ process. If PFQ-type professionals cannot be hired, even more careful and immediate attention should be given to this recommendation. The Task Force on Statistics also asks that it (the Task Force) be kept informed on what is happening on this recommendation, and perhaps consulted on issues as they arise, e.g., in reviewing curriculum of various possible trainers. Representative Blanchard was excused from the meeting at 8:24 p.m. RESOLUTION NO. 133 - ADOPTION OF THE PROGRAM REVIEW TASK FORCE REPORT AND RECOMMENDATIONS MOVED by Mr. Lerner, seconded by Mrs. Livesay, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by members present. RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee, That the attached Report and Recommendations of the Program Review Task Force are hereby adopted. SEQR ACTION: TYPE II -15 REPORT OF THE PROGRAM REVIEW TASK FORCE ACTIVITY SUMMARY as of MAY 11, 1995 as requested by Eric Lerner for the Budget & Fiscal Policy Committee meeting on May 23, 1995 Meeting dates: Next meeting: March 22, March 31, April 14, April 27, May 11 June 8 MISSION STATEMENT: Recommend a system to review County programs including periodic reviews of all programs, and targeted reviews of selected programs. During March, April and May, the group discussed the following issues: 1. Why the task group is looking at program review 2. Inadequacies of the current review process 3. Who's affected by the mission 4. What the requirements of the Board are as policymakers and how they would benefit from the task group's mission 5. Review of all programs on a regular basis apart from the annual budget 6. Situations (criteria) that might generate a review 7.

RESOLUTION NO. 134 - REORGANIZING TOMPKINS COUNTY BUDGET POLICIES AND PROCEDURES MOVED by Mr. Lerner, seconded by Mr. Joseph, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by members present. WHEREAS, this Board appointed the Budget Reorganization Advisory Committee comprised of citizens who are not employees nor officials of Tompkins County to recommend changes in the Tompkins County Fiscal Policy adopted by this Board in December 1994 and in the role of members of the public in the making of the County Budget and Capital Program, and WHEREAS, the Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee established various Task Forces, each of which includes representation from the Budget Reorganization Advisory Committee, Board of Representatives members, and department heads to review and recommend improvements in the said Fiscal Policy, and WHEREAS, these Task Forces have made recommendations that have been reviewed, amended and recommended to this Board by the Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee now therefore be it RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee, That the Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee is directed to recommend appropriate changes to the Tompkins County Fiscal Policy incorporating all of the above adopted recommendations. SEQR ACTION: TYPE II -15 Recess Chairman Stein declared recess at 8:28 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 8:36 p.m. Executive Session It was MOVED by Mr. Meskill, seconded by Ms. Mink, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by members present, to enter into an executive session at 8:28 p.m. to discuss litigation and a personnel matter. The meeting returned to open session at 9:15 p.m. RESOLUTION NO. 135 - ESTABLISHING A FRINGE BENEFITS PAYMENT POOL MOVED by Mr. Lerner, seconded by Mr. Joseph, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by members present. 182 June 6, 1995 WHEREAS, the Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee, on recommendation of its Technical Issues Task Force, has recommended the creation of a Fringe Benefits Payment Pool with the purposes of simplifying the calculation of fringe benefit costs in County depai huents and the Tompkins County Public Library, creating stability for small to medium sized County departments who currently can be seriously harmed by relatively small changes in fringe benefit costs, accommodating midyear changes with fiscal ease (for example, depaitinental transfers for employees who change health insurance coverage will be eliminated), and providing a buffer against radical year-to-year changes in fringe benefit costs, and WHEREAS, the Board of Representatives decided when adopting the 1995 budget to allow $348,391 in projected fringe benefit cost reductions to lapse to the general fund balance, and WHEREAS, it is the intention of this Board when it adopts the 1996 budget to appropriate that amount, $348,391, from the general fund balance to the Fringe Benefits Payment Pool, now therefore be it RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee, That this Board hereby adopts as policy the document dated 9 May 1995 and entitled "Proposal on Fringe Benefit Budgeting" describing how a fringe pool shall be established, managed, and used by County departments, which pool shall be funded based on a percentage of payroll to be recommended by the County Administrator and the Director of Finance to the budget committee of this Board and to the full Board of Representatives, RESOLVED, further, That it is the intention of this Board, as part of the process of establishing guidelines for County departmental budgeting units for 1996 budget preparation, to reduce the fiscal targets of all budgeting units by an amount equal to the correct amount of their fringe benefit payment obligation based on their approved payroll as of 1 May 1995, and then to increase those same fiscal targets by a percentage to be determined by this Board in June 1995 multiplied by that same 1 May 1995 approved payroll amount, the purpose of this Resolved being to hold all County departmental budgeting units harmless from the shift to a Fringe Pool method of budgeting for fringe benefit payments. SEQR ACTION: TYPE I1-15 Technical Issues Task Force Proposal on Fringe Benefit Budgeting as Amended by the Budget & Fiscal Policy Committee on May 9, 1995 Executive Summary Goal. The goal of this proposal is to make budgeting for fringe benefits by county depaitinents simple, stable, fair, and flexible. NOTE: While it is, of course, important to control costs for fringe benefits, this proposal does not directly address that issue. It is concerned rather with how those fringe costs, whatever they may be, are distributed to departmental budgets. Fringe percentage. Before depaitinents prepare budget proposals for 1996, county administration will recommend a fixed, mandatory percentage of salary costs that must be budgeted for fringes. This recommendation must be reviewed and recommended upon by the budget committee and acted upon by the Board of Representatives as part of the process establishing fiscal targets and other guidelines for budget makers. Fringe Pool. The county will create a reserve account, called the Fringe Pool, to handle all fringe payments. Whenever regular county paychecks are distributed, an amount equal to each program's payroll multiplied by the fringe percentage will be transferred from the program's budget to the Fringe Pool. So, for example if a program's January salary costs are $100,000 (and the fringe percentage is 27%), that program will pay $27,000 to the Fringe Pool for January. 183 June 6, 1995 Prior to establishment of the fringe percentage by the Board of Representatives the Finance Director shall submit a report on the current and projected status of the funds in the pool based on receipts and expected billings. Billings. When the county receives bills for fringe costs from insurance carriers, those bills will be paid directly from the Fringe Pool. If rates are lower than anticipated, budgeting units will nevertheless pay to the pool the same announced fringe percentage. Any rebates will also be deposited in the Pool. Similarly, if billed rates are higher than anticipated, programs will normally only be charged the announced fringe percentage. The balance will be paid by the Pool. If the entire fringe pool is depleted before the year is out, the Board shall determine whether to make up the difference from the Contingent Fund or the General Fund or from reductions in departmental budgets. Technical Notes. 1) The fringe percentage may be different in a few cases: where the union contract, state law, and insurance regulations provide for somewhat different benefits. 2) Programs will be charged the same percentage of salary, regardless of whether employees in that program choose family or single health insurance, or not at all. 3) State aid will be claimed based on the fringe percentage. This is acceptable to NYS, and will have a negligible effect on county cost. 4) Fiscal Policy section D permits contingent fund appropriations for terminal pay and replacement of employees sick for over two months. This policy would not change. 5) The Fringe Pool shall not include funding for, nor affect in any way, fringe benefit payments at Tompkins Cortland Community College, not the Tompkins County Public Library. Calculating the Fringe Percentage. A target level for the Fringe Pool will be recommended by the Finance Director. Central administration will calculate the fringe percentage required for the following year and recommend this to the budget committee of the Board of Representatives. If higher rates have depleted the Fringe Pool, the fringe percentage for the following year will be set proportionally higher to restore the pool to its target level. If lower rates leave the Pool with a surplus, the Board of Representatives will determine whether to reduce the percentage required or to use the surplus for another purpose. Revising budget targets. To implement this plan, a one-time adjustment must be made in program fiscal targets. The total amount of general revenue funding that should have been budgeted for fringes in 1995 will be subtracted form each program's target. The total amount that will be required for fringes under the new plan for the same payroll will be added to each program's target. This adjustment should have a minimal effect on net county cost, and should be made before any 1996 overall fiscal targets are calculated. RESOLUTION NO. 136 - ESTABLISHING FISCAL TARGETS FOR ALL COUNTY BUDGETING UNITS FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE 1996 BUDGET MOVED by Mr. Lerner, seconded by Mr. Meskill. Representative Blanchard returned to the meeting during discussion on this resolution. There was a lengthy discussion on this resolution. Mr. Lerner stressed that departments are not being forced to live within a zero percent increase, they are being told they may submit special request(s) if they are unable to meet their fiscal target. There was concern expressed by some members of the Board for the salary increases that are already in place to take effect January 1, 1996. A roll call vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 12, Noes - 3 (Representatives Kiefer, Livesay and Totman). RESOLUTION ADOPTED. WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Fiscal Policy specifies that a fiscal target is the maximum amount of general revenue spending authority that a department head or program director may request without initiating a Special Request, and any changes in fiscal targets must be communicated to 184 June 6, 1995 department heads and program directors by the end of June in order for them to submit their budget requests by August 1, and WHEREAS, this Board has adopted the recommendations of the Technical Issues Task Force and the Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee with respect to the Fringe Pool and has put in place a procedure for adjusting all County depailiuental fiscal targets to correspond to the method of budgeting this entails, now therefore be it RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee, That fiscal targets for all budgeting units for preparation of the 1996 budget are hereby established as follows: 1) For nor -for-profit agency grants: The amount approved in the 1995 adopted budget minus any special request funding designated as one-time plus a zero percent cost -of -living adjustment. 2) For Tompkins Cortland Community College: The amount in the adopted 1995 Tompkins County budget plus a three (3) percent cost of living adjustment the entire above amount to be increased or decreased in proportion to the respective enrollments of Tompkins and Cortland Counties. The Community College shall not be eligible to submit any special requests. 3) For all County departments: An amount equal to the general revenue portion of the adopted County budget, as adjusted by this Board's action with respect to the Fringe Pool minus any special request funding designated as one-time the entire above amount to be increased by a zero percent cost of living adjustment, and RESOLVED, further, That special requests for funding in excess of fiscal targets are in no way discouraged by this Resolution, with the exception of the Community College as noted above. SEQR ACTION: TYPE 1I-15 Adjournment On motion the meeting adjourned at 9:38 p.m. 185 June 20, 1995 Regular Meeting Called to Order Vice Chair Mink called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m. Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag and Roll Call of Members Members and guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.

Barbara Blanchard was excused at 7:20 p.m. following the Planning, Economic Development and Education Committee report. Privilege of the Floor by the Public Ken Packman, City of Ithaca resident, and member of the Steering Committee of the Coalition for Children First, spoke concerning racial allegations within the Tompkins County Sheriff's Department. He stated the ongoing racial problems deserve the attention of those in public office, and asked that the Board of Representatives denounce racism and bigotry, and make Ithaca safe for all residents. Tony Poole, City of Ithaca resident, spoke concerning an alleged racial incident at Ithaca High School on June 13 which involved his child. He expressed concern for the manner in which the situation was handled by the Tompkins County Sheriff's Department. Mr. Poole stated incidents such as these do nothing to build confidence in the community. He asked that efforts be made to bring different communities together. Diann Sams, City of Ithaca resident, spoke concerning an alleged racial incident on June 13 at Ithaca High School. She reported on her dissatisfaction with the Tompkins County Sheriff's Department when attempting to file charges. She asked that the conduct in relationship to this incident by the Sheriff's Department be investigated, and that the Board ensure that the Sheriffs Department Civilian Review Board membership consist of representation from the entire County, and also include minority members. Janis Kelly, City of Ithaca resident, spoke concerning an alleged racial incident on June 13 at Ithaca High School. She asked the Board to investigate the Sheriffs Depai tnient relative to this matter and take appropriate action. Ms. Kelly said she has also been concerned by the continuous cost overruns in the Sheriffs Department. Vice Chair Mink stated she spoke with Sheriff Guest about this matter and his statement was consistent with Ms. Sam's. She stated she will ask the Public Safety Committee to review this situation further. She said this is a community problem which is appropriate to be addressed at a legislative level, and appreciates Representative Proto's offer to get together with his colleagues to discuss the problem. Fay Gougakis, City of Ithaca resident, emotionally expressed opposition to Cable Access television channel programming. She feels the programming is comprised of graphic racism, sexism, harassment and violence. She feels this issue is the Board's responsibility, and asked that a cable archive be supported. 186 June 20, 1995 Privilege of the Floor by Board Members Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Representative, stated he attended the Flag Day Parade and had an enjoyable time. Mr. Proto also asked if the County had a role in the situation with the Cable Access television channel. Mr. Lane responded there is no "County Cable Commission"; however, there is an Intermunicipal Cable Commission. This is a coming together of various municipalities who franchise with Time Warner Cable. The Commission can advise, but has no authority to direct any municipality to take any action. He stated the City of Ithaca recently decided to become a member of this Commission. Mr. Lane stated there has been discussion about an archive and members of the Commission did go on record as being in favor of an archive. He said support for an archive is not an attempt to limit freedom of speech. Mr. Lane said the Committee will be meeting in July, and he will provide an update to the Board following this meeting. Mr. Proto reported that Megan's Law passed the Assembly and is currently being deliberated by the Senate. Mrs. Livesay, District No. 11 Representative, said she attended a meeting of the Intermuncipal Cable Commission, and solving the problem with cable access is not easy because there is no clear course in knowing what to do. Mrs. Livesay asked Mr. Meskill, Chairman of the Public Safety Committee, to report back to the Board on the subject of the Civilian Review Board for the Sheriff's Department. She stated at the time it was created it was found it may not represent the community broadly enough, and this may be the time to look at this. Mrs. Livesay also reported she attended a County Legislators and Supervisors Association Conference. She said those in attendance were discouraged that no one from the State Budget Office was in attendance. There was a feeling that the Conference was directed more towards businesses than County government. She stated there was discussion on flow control and the urgency to get Congress to adopt flow control. She said this Board may be asked to write a letter in support of this to assist those counties that have a real problem because of this law being overturned. She stated there is no intention at this time for Tompkins County to try to return to flow control. Mr. Todd, District No. 6 Representative, stated the Solid Waste Committee has no intention of pursuing flow control in Tompkins County at this time. Mr. Todd read the following statement: "I believe it is time to stop criticizing the Sheriff and the Sheriff's Deputies. Constant criticism lowers morale in the whole Department. Constant criticism makes the performing of everyday law enforcement more difficult. Law enforcement and public safety are difficult services to deliver. Law enforcement and Public Safety are high on the list of priorities of the people of Tompkins County. The town residents of Tompkins County depend upon the Sheriff's Department for first call law enforcement and public safety services. The Sheriff's Department in cooperation with the local fire departments, local ambulance services, the City of Ithaca Police Department and the New York State Police, is delivering good law enforcement and public safety services to Tompkins County residents. I believe a few words of praise and encouragement to the Sheriff and the Sheriffs Deputies for the thousands of situations large and small they handle is more appropriate than constant criticism." Mr. Totman, District No. 9 Representative, stated he agrees with Mr. Todd's comments pertaining to the Sheriff's Department. He stated if someone is elected to office, they should be removed from office the same way. Approval of Minutes of May 16, 1995 and June 6, 1995 Following discussion on the minute policy, It was MOVED by Mr. Lerner, seconded by Mr. Meskill, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by members present, to approve the minutes of May 16, 1995 and June 6, 1995 as submitted.

He said they are hoping to get participation by building users in an effort to try to save the utilities consumption. He reported a "one-year later" Airport meeting was held with the architect to discuss the Airport project. Although there are minor problems in the area of parking that will be addressed by the parking lot vendor, it was felt that the Airport is making a positive impression for people coming into Tompkins County. Mr. Winch stated the project of updating County buildings to meet ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) is continuing, and he will be providing the Board with a list of the projects.

SEQR ACTION: TYPE II -15 192 June 20, 1995 CAPITAL BUDGETING TASK FORCE RECOMMENDATIONS Draft revised June 5, 1995 Revised by Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee June 13, 1995 and by Capital Program Committee June 14, 1995 Definition and purpose. The Capital Program is a planning guide to physical betterments and improvements for the following five years, including major construction, equipment and land purchases. Capital projects should be part of a comprehensive long range planning process which foresees major expenditures well in advance of the need for them. That process should be easily understood by policy makers and interested members of the public. Scope. The County Charter does not indicate clearly which projects to include in the Capital Program. The Task Force recommends including the following two types of projects in the Capital Program. 1) One-time expenses authorized to exceed $100,000, regardless of whether they are paid for with borrowed funds, for: a) Construction of new, additional buildings, roads, bridges or other facilities; b) Upgrading of existing buildings, roads, bridges or other facilities; c) Purchase of new, additional equipment (including computer equipment), or upgrading of equipment; d) Purchase of land; e) Planning and design expenses associated with the above; 2) Expenses for the following only when they will be paid for with borrowed funds: a) Recurring annual expenditures for maintenance of existing buildings, roads, bridges, equipment, other structures, or lands; b) Replacement of existing equipment or structures; c) Projects whose total anticipated costs are less than $100,000. Budgeting. Annual spending for each capital project must appear as a separate line in the budget of the budgeting unit(s) or program(s) that the project supports. Transfers into or out of such lines constitute amendments to the Capital Program and must be authorized by the procedure for such amendments specified in the Charter. Unless the Board of Representatives specifies otherwise in a particular case, type 2 projects should be included in the fiscal targets of the appropriate budgeting units, and type 1 projects should not. New capital projects should receive Board scrutiny equivalent to special requests in the operating budget. Format. In addition to the budget information stated above, the Capital Program should be summarized in a single, clear, readable document, cross-referenced to the budget. Article 5 of the County Charter specifies information that must be included in the Capital Program and in proposals for projects to be included in it, and the process by which proposals and projects are reviewed and approved by the Board of Representatives. The Task Force recommends that the forms approved by the Capital Program Committee be used for this purpose. Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Governmental Affairs Committee Mrs. Livesay, Chair, reported the Committee met June 12, and discussed the request to register voters in County buildings and made a decision to not allow partisan groups to register voters in County buildings; however, they can leave information.

(Representative Todd arrived at 5:35 p.m.) Approval of Minutes of June 20, 1995 This item was postponed to the end of the meeting so that Board members would have an opportunity to review proposed changes submitted by Representative Kiefer that were distributed directly before the meeting. Presentation of Proclamation(s) Chairman Stein presented a proclamation declaring July 26, 1995, Independent Living Day in Tompkins County, to Larry Roberts, City of Ithaca resident.

Privilege of the Floor by Board Members Mr. Lane, District No. 14 Representative and Member of the Public Safety Committee, spoke concerning the Sheriff's Department. Mr. Lane acknowledged the work of Public Safety Committee Chairman, Peter Meskill, and said Mr. Meskill is a supporter of the Department and the Department's 196 July 11, 1995 road patrol. He said the importance of the road patrol is appreciated, especially by the rural representatives, and he would not like to see it hurt or demoralized. He said some of the writing that has been seen recently has tended to cloud the issue of the questions this Board has about the administration of that Department with the issue of the road patrol itself. He feels this is unfortunate, and as elected representatives, this Board has the duty to make sure dollars are spent properly and that all County departments are administered as well as possible. He believes the Public Safety Committee must continue in its efforts to guide the Sheriff's Department, to work with the Sheriff to make sure the dollars are spent properly and that the Department is administered properly. Ms. Blanchard, District No. 1 Representative, thanked Mr. Lane for his comments above. Ms. Blanchard suggested that if any Board member has not had an opportunity to attend one of the open houses for Hospicare on King Road to do so. She said this is not only very interesting architecturally, but is the first residential hospicare in New York State. Ms. Mink, District No. 3 Representative, read the following statement and submitted same for the record of this meeting: "I'd like to respond to some of the comments made about the Sheriffs Department two weeks ago. Let me remind my colleagues and Tompkins County taxpayers why so much attention has been paid to the Department. Over the past five years, the Sheriff's Department without the Jail, has been over half a million dollars over budget; including jail costs, which are harder to control, the overruns came to 1.8 million dollars. Each year the County Board approved those extra appropriations. A study done by our Administration in 1993 showed it was possible to manage the Department within its targeted budget. The study was dismissed by the Sheriff, who last year went as far as to threaten to cut out road patrols when he didn't get even more money in overruns than the County Board already granted. Does this sound like we're "going after the Sheriff'? Taxpayers demand accountability from their legislators and we have responded. No other department repeatedly comes in so much over budget, and no other depaitment head has so consistently refused to acknowledge the Legislature's power of the purse. Last March State auditors combed through the County's books and found outright illegalities in only one department: the Sheriff's Department. The Sheriffs response was "no big deal", and the town supervisors whose constituents were affected echoed the dismissal. Can you imagine if the State had found similar improprieties in the Social Services Department? How many of your constituents would be shaking their fists at legislators who allowed such things to go undetected? We discovered last Labor Day that a report of an accident involving a Sheriff's Deputy was altered to remove any mention of how fast the deputy was traveling. This had ramifications for the record of the innocent teenager whose car was hit, the insurance payments, and the Sheriff's Depattinent. Though it was clear that the report had been changed, the District Attorney and State Police investigator could not prove who did it. Since when are illegal acts committed by enforcers of the law insignificant? It wouldn't be insignificant anywhere else in County government or the private sector, so why would the public safety sector, be exempt? Sometimes it's hard to sort through claims on both sides of an issue without the facts. What's so disappointing about the positions expressed here two weeks ago is that people on this Board who should know better, who have had the details behind the incidents I've mentioned, seem to be intent on ignoring 197 July 11, 1995 the facts. Instead of working with us to make sure residents get the kind of protection and service you deserve, they're trying to make people think there is a plot afoot to dismember the Sheriff's Department. Actually just the opposite is true. We are trying to work with the Sheriff to help him bring management to his agency up to the caliber of our other departments; that's why we approved a position of financial administrator last year to work with him. Maybe admitting things that should change for the better is admitting that mistakes were made; or maybe this is an attempt to create barriers between rural and urban residents where none exist. Whatever the motivation, let's remember that a majority of us are insisting on financial accountability, prudence, and common sense; I don't think any of us want to line up behind a position calling for keeping things the way they are, no matter how wasteful, illegal, or inefficient." Mr. Totman, District No. 10 Representative, spoke concerning the Sheriff's Depaitnient, and stated he feels Ms. Mink's comments were directed in part to him and comments he made at the last Board meeting. He said he stands behind those comments, and still feels that there is a movement to eliminate the position of Sheriff. He said his constituents agree with his stance and he will continue to represent them. Chairman Stein spoke concerning the Sheriffs Department, and stated since he is the one who put out a report at the beginning of his term as Chairman which made the statement that he thought it would be worth looking into the appointment of the Sheriff rather than the election of a Sheriff, he considers the current statements in the press to be an attack on him. Mr. Stein pointed out that he thinks it is important for an exploration to be done of this possibility. He strongly noted the exploration is entirely separate from the concerns about good management, and any effort to mix the two issues together is muddling the situation, and feels this would be a disservice to the taxpayers. Mr. Stein said whether there is an appointed or elected Sheriff, that person should manage that Depai tiuent efficiently and not run over budget. He said this is the responsibility of the Board as elected officials, and hopes members keep this is mind and do not get into any divisions between rural and city residents and politics. Presentation by Janet Steiner, Library Director, and Dean Eckstrom, Data Processing Director Ms. Steiner and Mr. Eckstrom gave the Board a presentation on a collaborative experimental project involving the Public Library, Data Processing, and Time Warner Cable entitled "Internet for the Kids" which will allow kids in middle school and high school to sign up for two hours for an introduction to the Internet. Kids learn what the Internet is, what is on it for them, how to get what they need through the Worldwide Web. After the two-hour introduction the kids are then able to sign up for an open two- hour lab in which they are free to explore whatever they want to do. The program instructor is an intern from Time Warner Cable. The project has enough slots to allow 500 kids to participate. At this time 29 kids have completed the program, and 84 are signed up to participate. A sign-up sheet was circulated for any Board member interested in participating in this program. Ms. Kiefer asked if this arrangement locks us into the Time Warner Internet Network; Mr. Eckstrom explained that our contract would be up in 1998.

Report from the County Administrator Mr. Heyman asked if any Board member would like to have a copy of the budget material that was distributed to department heads. Representatives Meskill, Totman, Kiefer, Schuler and Livesay indicated they would and Mr. Heyman stated he will send a copy to them. Mr. Heyman stated committees are currently taking action on reappropriating funds, designation of mandate classes, etc. He said with the exception of the cost savers, everything is on schedule to go to the Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee on July 18. Mr. Heyman reported he attended a meeting of county administrators in Syracuse that was well attended by 25 counties and obtained information on land policies. He informed the Board the New York State Association of Counties has signed a contract with a consulting firm and an accounting firm at no charge to counties, to go through counties' books and look at items that are typically missed in terms of claiming state and federal aid for emergency aid to families. Mr. Heyman said he has signed Tompkins County up for this. They will also work with counties to make sure counties get all Medicaid claims in by September 30. They will do this for a percentage of the additional revenue that the County gains and does not lose on audit. Mr. Heyman made a presentation to the Board, pointing out there is over $27 million in State and federal Medicaid funding that is currently at risk. Report from the County Attorney Mr. Theisen said the County Attorney's office recently reported to the Governmental Affairs Committee that the cost of legal services over the last four years has gone down from over $600,000 in 1992 to a little over $200,000 this year. This is due to changing personnel and handling more cases in- house. Report from the Finance Director Ms. Squires reported on the progress in acquiring a new computer software system.

Mr. Winch said this phone system will have an audix so a message can be left, and noted the tremendous amount of staff time that will be saved. Mr. Winch said unfortunately he has not received a list of the pending A.D.A. projects that are currently taking place.

SEQR ACTION: TYPE II -15 205 July 11, 1995 Report from the Solid Waste Committee Mr. Todd, Chairman, reported there was a break-in and vandalism at the Tompkins County Recycling and Solid Waste Center. This incident is being investigated by the City of Ithaca Police. He reported the Grand Opening for the Center will be held on July 12 at 1 p.m. A regular Committee meeting was held on June 21, and a special meeting was held on June 29 to discuss bids that were presented for curbside collection, with all bids being rejected. Mr. Todd requested an executive session to discuss this issue because of a potential lawsuit that is involved. The Committee met again on July 10 to discuss a process to put the Solid Waste Annual Fee on the tax bill in January. A process was approved at that meeting and staff was advised to proceed with this. Mr. Todd stated on July 12 at noon, prior to the Grand Opening, there will be another special meeting at the Recycling and Solid Waste Center to discuss the rebidding of the recycling curbside collection. The next regular meeting will be July 19 at 10 a.m. to discuss the Annual Fee Fairness Report that was presented by Representative Lane. Report from the Charter Review Committee Mr. Lane, Chairman, deferred his report to the next meeting. Report from the Electronic Future Committee Mr. Evans, Chairman, reported the Committee will meet July 27 at 2 p.m. At the Tompkins County Public Library.

Report from the Leadership Council Ms. Mink, Chair, reported the Council met last week and formally signed the Labor Management Partnership Agreement. The Council also reviewed the tally of survey results that were completed by employees. There was a lot of comments about Wal-Mart, but also endorsement and other ideas. She stated depai tment heads will be interviewed in focus group. Ms. Mink reported she attended a Budget Reorganization Advisory Committee meeting, to incorporate some vision elements and commented on the quality of discussion at that meeting. She said she expects a vision statement to be developed sometime near the end of the year. Report from the Public Information Committee Mr. Joseph, Chairman, reported the County News will be mailed in the Freeville Shopper, Ithaca Times, and Odyssey publications on July 27. He reported there will be a television show concerning impacts of the State budget that will be hosted by Scott Heyman, Mary Pat Dolan, Steve Johnson of Cornell, and Tom Mosler from Tompkins Community Hospital. This show is tentatively scheduled to be shown July 12 and 14 at 7 p.m. Report from the Rural Affairs Committee Mr. Proto, Chairman, reported the Committee submitted a list of suggestions to the Economic Development Committee regarding the economic development strategy plan that Committee is beginning 206 July 11, 1995 to develop. Mr. Proto said he would give all Board members a copy of these suggestions. At the last Committee meeting there was discussion concerning the perceived inequity of assessments for mobile homes in trailer parks. The Committee will be looking into this issue in more depth. It was also the feeling of the Committee that it might be a good idea to hear from the community on economic development, and also the Committee's February 7 Report. The next meeting will be July 31 at 8:15. Mr. Proto gave an update on the status of a resolution concerning Megan's Law he stated he would be bringing forward in recent Board meetings. He stated the Assembly and Senate has adopted a version of this Law and the Governor has signed this into Law. Approval of Minutes of June 20, 1995 It was MOVED by Mr. Meskill, seconded by Mr. Evans, to approve the minutes of June 20, 1995, as submitted. It was MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Mr. Joseph, to amend the minutes as follows: Page 1 under Privilege of the Floor by the public: second paragraph (Tony Poole): Insert in line 4 before the last sentence: "He noted the conflict was between two groups of young people who reside in different parts of the County -- Brooktondale and the City of Ithaca.". Mr. Winch expressed opposition to the continual proposed changes to minutes by Representative Kiefer. He said he does not believe this is consistent with the leadership development and quality initiative program being undertaken by Tompkins County. This motion lost by voice vote. A voice vote on the minutes as submitted resulted as follows: Ayes - 15, Noes - 0. MINUTES APPROVED. Ms. Mink acknowledged because of a new job opportunity, that this was Wendy Skinner's (Ithaca Journal Reporter) last meeting, and read a poem. The Board wished Ms. Skinner well. Recess Chairman Stein declared recess from 8:12 p.m. to 8:20 p.m. Executive Session It was MOVED by Mr. Meskill, seconded by Mr. Todd, and unanimously adopted by voice vote, to enter into executive session at 8:20 p.m. to discuss potential litigation. The meeting returned to open session at 8:45 p.m. Adj ournment On motion the meeting adjourned at 8:45 p.m. 207 July 25, 1995 Regular Meeting Public Hearing - Local Law No. 3 of 1995 - Imposition of a Special Motor Vehicle Use Fee Chairman Stein called the public hearing to order at 5:30 p.m. concerning Local Law No. 3 of 1995 - Imposition of a Special Motor Vehicle Use Fee. Chairman Stein asked if any member of the public wished to speak. Charles Ferris, Town of Groton, spoke in opposition to Local Law No. 3 of 1995 - Imposition of a Special Motor Vehicle Use Fee. Mr. Ferris said he does not understand why extra funds are needed in the Department of Motor Vehicles budget. He feels this Law will force people to register their vehicles in other counties and some to register by mail. Wilson Kone, Town of Caroline, spoke in opposition to Local law No. 3 of 1995 - Imposition of a Special Motor Vehicle Use Fee. Mr. Kone said he fully supports the work of the Department of Motor Vehicles and would not like to see that office close. However, he feels there are other ways to finance that Department other than a tax. He feels the proposed Fee is a tax. He said it is his understanding that some County departments ended up with a surplus at the end of last year. He feels those departments with surpluses should use this money to support dein" tuients with shortfalls. Rachael Pierce, Town of Dryden resident, and former County Clerk, spoke in opposition to Local Law No. 3 of 1995 - Imposition of a Special Motor Vehicle Use Fee. She said during her tenure as County Clerk, she did everything she could to make the County Clerk's office self-supporting, and feels Aurora Valenti, current County Clerk, has tried very hard to do this as well. Ms. Pierce said she believes the shortfalls in the Motor Vehicle Department are a direct result of the pay equity/reclassification study that was undertaken a few years ago. Ms. Pierce stated she has concerns with three areas of the proposed local law. She expressed concern for the effective date in the law. She said she does not feel the local law can become effective upon filing with the Secretary of State because New York State mails renewals two months before expiration dates, so it will take time to implement the Fee. She expressed another concern that the funds will be sent to the Department of Motor Vehicles in Albany, and then forwarded the funds to Tompkins County. She questioned how those funds would be returned, and if Tompkins County would be allowed to keep interest on those funds. Another concern Ms. Pierce raised was that the proposed local law references an agreement which she says is not available for public review. She stated a user fee is generally charged to someone receiving a service that only they use. She feels trash tags can be justified, but a motor vehicle use fee is a basic service that should be provided by government. Chairman Stein stated he received a telephone call from Betty Sperger, Groton resident, who called him concerning Local Law No. 3 of 1995 - Imposition of a Special Motor Vehicle Use Fee. Ms. Sperger said if the County were to enact this local law, she opposed a two level fee system because she feels the fee is directly related to service. No other member of the public or Board wished to speak. Chairman Stein declared the public hearing closed at 5:47 p.m. Roll Call of Members and Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag Present: 13 Representatives. Excused: 2 (Representatives Joseph and Lerner). Members and Guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. 208 July 25, 1995 Approval of Minutes of July 11, 1995 It was MOVED by Mr. Meskill, seconded by Ms. Mink, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by members present, to approve the minutes of July 11, 1995 with the correction submitted by Representative Kiefer. MINUTES APPROVED. Announcement of Tompkins County as Recipient of H.U.D. Grant Mrs. Livesay, Vice Chair of the Human Services Committee, announced Tompkins County has been awarded a H.U.D. (Housing and Urban Development) Grant in the amount of $341,250. She stated this is part of the H.U.D. money (federal funds) being used towards the effort of dealing with homelessness in the United States. She stated Tompkins County has received this grant as a result of collaborative working together of people in this County to meet the needs of this population including the Department of Social Services, Ithaca Housing Authority, and the Economic Opportunity Corporation. Mary Pat Dolan, Commissioner of DSS, stated the money will go over a three year period to the Ithaca Housing Authority to advance their supportive housing program which deals with the ongoing needs of families once families have been moved from the shelter into the next step of transitional housing. Ms. Dolan acknowledged the following individuals for their contributions to this award: Mary Carnal of the Depai lnient of Social Services; Marge Dill, and Nancy Burston of the Human Services Coalition. Presentation of Proclamation Chairman Stein presented a proclamation to Aurora Valenti, Vice Chair of the Empire Games Committee, declaring August 2 - 6, 1995 to be Empire State Games Days in Tompkins County. Privilege of the Floor by the Public William Holtcamp, Taughannock Blvd., and member of the F.L.A. (Finger Lakes Association), stated he is not in agreement with the figures the County used to arrive at its decision concerning designation of the T.P.A. (Tourism Promotion Agency) that was made at the July 11 Board meeting. He distributed figures for 1992-95, showing the additional money to Tompkins County is leveraged by the F.L.A. He suggested the County investigate more fully all sources of information regarding tourism, including the C.V.B (Convention and Visitors Bureau) and the F.L.A. He said his office is always open and urged the Board to come verify figures he presented at this meeting. Privilege of the Floor by Board Members Ms. Mink, District No. 5 Representative, spoke concerning Mr. Holtcamp's statement. She stated there is a misunderstanding that the T.P.A. designation had been voluntarily been given back to the F.L.A. several years ago. This year, through staff research, the County has learned the monies the County got in addition to what the County was ordinarily getting, would not be available this year. Mr. Lane, Member of the Intermunicipal Cable Commission, reported the Commission met last week and discussed the issue that was raised at this Board level having to do with public access and that Commission's position on the possibility of a historic archive. Mr. Lane said there appears to be a couple of routes the Commission could take. Under State regulations, if there are several municipalities which share the same channels for public access, those municipalities can jointly designate one of them or another entity to supervise access. If the member municipalities wanted the Cable Commission to do that, they could consider taking on that function. Another option would be to suggest to Time Warner Cable that they establish a not-for-profit corporation which would have control over public access. He said this has been done in some downstate counties very successfully. The Commission is also looking into the issue of the requirement of Time Warner to have basic cable television users purchase converter 209 July 25, 1995 boxes and go to cable plus is they wanted to continue receiving stations. Mr. Lane said there are other areas where this has been done, and has been successfully opposed. The Commission will be following up on these issues. Mr. Todd, District No. 6 Representative, stated at a past meeting, this Board authorized the sharing of a piece of equipment between the County Highway Department, the Town of Lansing, and the Town of Dryden. He said this equipment was being used in front of his house today to work on the shoulders of the road. He commented on the intermunicipal cooperation involved. Addition of Resolution(s) to the Agenda On motion of the appropriate committee chairmen and duly seconded and unanimously adopted by voice vote by members present, the following resolutions were added to the agenda: Authorization to Execute Municipal Agreement Between the County of Tompkins and the Nine Towns and the City of Ithaca Accepting the Report of the Solid Waste Annual Fee Fairness Committee Increase in Hours - Senior Account Clerk/Typist - Solid Waste Defense of Conrail Tax Assessment Litigation Withdrawal of Resolution(s) from the Agenda There were no resolutions to be withdrawn from the agenda at this time. During the meeting Chairman Stein granted the appropriate committee chairmen and individuals permission to withdraw the following resolutions from the agenda: Adoption of Local Law No. c of 1995 - Imposition of a Special Motor Vehicle Use Fee Adoption of Local Law No. c of 1995 - Imposition of Special Motor Vehicle Use Fee (Proposal No. 1) Adoption of Proposed Local Law No. c of 1995 - Imposition of Special Motor Vehicle Use Fee (Proposal No. 2) Defense of Conrail Tax Assessment Litigation Withdrawal of Resolutions Being Affirmed Chairman Stein gave the appropriate committee chairman permission to withdraw the following resolutions with final committee action being affirmed: CA036-95 - Approval of Budget for Administration of Tompkins County Homeownership Program - 1994 CA037-95 - Approval of Budget for Administration of County Economic Development Grant - Jamex - 1995 CA038-95 - Approval of Budget for Administration of County Economic Development Grant - Challenge Industries CA039-95 - Budget Adjustment - Records Management CA040-95 - Award of Bid - Wood Chip Supply - Solid Waste RESOLUTION NO. - ADOPTION OF LOCAL LAW NO. C OF 1995 - IMPOSITION OF A SPECIAL MOTOR VEHICLE USE FEE (This local law differs from Local Law No. 3 only by the dollar amount of the fee; this proposed law establishes a fee at $3.00; Local Law No. 3 establishes a fee of $2.50). 210 July 25, 1995 It was MOVED by Mrs. Livesay, seconded by Ms. Kiefer. Mrs. Livesay responded to comments made under privilege of the floor, and explained the history of this budgetary problem in the Motor Vehicle Department and the alternatives for the dealing with this. There was discussion concerning whether this fee should be charged according to size or type of vehicle. There was a strong feeling by some members of the Board that this is a Fee for service and there is no difference in the cost of registering a vehicle regardless of its size. There was a lengthy discussion on this resolution with some members feeling there are lingering questions that need to be answered and others feeling most questions were answered in the DMV Task Force Report. A corrected calculation of the amounts that would be raised by a $2.50 or a $3.00 fee was distributed, showing that $2.50 should cover the shortfall for the next three to four years. Ms. Kiefer explained her reasons for placing the resolutions entitled Adoption of Local Law No. c of 1995 - Imposition of Special Motor Vehicle Use Fee (Proposal No. 1) and Adoption of Proposed Local Law No. c of 1995 - Imposition of Special Motor Vehicle Use Fee (Proposal No. 2) on that agenda were because of constituent interest in having the fee amount be based on vehicle weight. Ms. Kiefer also said she was initially told she could place different versions of the local law on the agenda, but was later advised by the County Attorney this should not be done as they differ from the laws the public hearing were called for. She, therefore, withdrew the resolutions from the agenda. It was MOVED by Mr. Lane, seconded by Mr. Proto, to postpone this resolution to the August 8, 1995 Board meeting. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 4 (Representatives Lane, Meskill, Proto and Winch), Noes - 9, Excused - 2 (Representatives Joseph and Lerner). MOTION FAILED. Mrs. Livesay, with consent of Ms. Kiefer, withdrew this resolution from the agenda. RESOLUTION NO. 155 - ADOPTION OF LOCAL LAW NO. 3 OF 1995 - IMPOSITION OF SPECIAL MOTOR VEHICLE USE FEE MOVED by Mrs. Livesay, seconded by Ms. Kiefer. It was MOVED by Mr. Meskill, seconded by Mr. Evans, to amend the local law by replacing the wording in Section I. Board Intent, third paragraph: "This Board further finds and determines that imposing a local fee on the vehicles registered in Tompkins County could generate approximately $143,974 in annual revenues for the County" to read: "This Board further finds and determines that imposing a local fee on the vehicles registered in Tompkins County would generate annual revenues to help meet the budget of the County" as submitted by the County Attorney. A voice vote on the amendment resulted as follows: Ayes - 12, Noes - 1 (Representative Kiefer), Excused - 2 (Representatives Joseph and Lerner). MOTION CARRIED. A roll call vote on the resolution as amended resulted as follows: Ayes - 10, Noes - 3 (Representatives Meskill, Proto, and Winch). Excused - 2 (Representatives Joseph and Lerner). RESOLUTION ADOPTED. (AMENDED BY RESOLUTION NO. 106 OF 2003 --LOCAL LAW NO. 2 OF 2003) WHEREAS, a public hearing has been held before the Board of Representatives on July 25, 1995, to hear all persons interested in proposed Local Law No. 3 of 1995, now therefore be it RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Governmental Affairs Committee, That said proposed Local Law No. 3 - Imposition of Special Motor Vehicle Use Fee, be and is hereby adopted, RESOLVED, further, That the Clerk of the Board shall publish in the official newspaper of the County a notice of adoption containing a synopsis of said Local Law, and shall within five (5) days file one certified copy in the office of the County Clerk, and three (3) certified copies in the office of the Secretary of State. SEQR ACTION: TYPE II -15 211 July 25, 1995 Report from the County Administrator Mr. Heyman reported that according to a report by the National Association of State Budget Officers, 28 states now have agencies which are targeting customer needs and preferences and are securing feedback on services, 13 states have begun to allow carryover of general fund revenues from one fiscal year to the next, 10 states have eliminated line items in their budgets to allow greater flexibility in agency spending (including North Dakota which has a pilot project linking abolishment of line items with performance based budgeting), and ten states have established competitive bidding procedures for service delivery in which government agencies bid against their private sector counterparts as Tompkins County has been doing. Mr. Heyman stated he has heard comments in the media lately about Tompkins County's bloated assessments. He said the Governmental Affairs Committee discussed assessments a great deal last year. Anyone with the opinion that their assessment is bloated, can follow the assessment appeal process. He said the wide perception in the community that assessments are based on inflated 1990 values which are not holding up in the 1995 real estate market of actual sales is held by large numbers of people. He stated the Assessment Department has the figures based on all real estate sales in 1995 that demonstrate that actual real estate prices are running a little higher than the County's assessments. Mr. Lane stated he hopes Tompkins County will consider doing more frequent assessments. Report from the County Attorney Mr. Theisen reported the proposed resolution authorizing Tompkins County to contribute a share to the cost of joint defense against the case challenging the Conrail Tax Assessment does not need to be acted on by the Board, and can be an administrative decision. Mr. Stein stated a report on this subject has been distributed to all Board members, and explained the intention was to have action on the resolution at this meeting because it seemed to be a matter that should be responded to in a timely fashion. Ms. Kiefer asked if Tompkins County has anyone on staff able to analyze the ratio that is the basis for this suit. She asked that this be looked at in the event Tompkins County is asked for monies again so that the County will be better informed about its particular situation. Mr. Squires, Director of Finance, stated the amounts are based upon the taxes that have been protested by Conrail. Mr. Theisen said he will look into having a staff member of the Assessment Department review this. The resolution entitled Defense of Conrail Tax Assessment Litigation was withdrawn from the agenda at this time, with the understanding that the County Attorney will notify the county that contacted Tompkins County of the Board's decision to contribute. Report from the Finance Director Mr. Squires reported Tompkins County needs a boost in sales tax based on a report of the first two quarters of 1995. He said the County is behind in sales tax receipts for the budget for the year by $200,000; however, he is hopeful the Empire State Games will produce the needed revenue to compensate for this shortfall. Mr. Squires explained to the Board the definition of a Repo as listed in his monthly investment report. Chairman's Report Chairman Stein announced he signed a contract for a grant for $2 million on July 28 from the State of New York for the Tompkins County Recycling and Solid Waste Center. This grant is for the construction portion of the Facility that is devoted to recycling as part of the State's Waste Reduction and Recycling Program. This is one of the largest single purpose grants received by Tompkins County. 212 July 25, 1995 Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Transportation Services Committee Ms. Blanchard, Chair, reported the Committee met July 19, and discussed budgeting strategies. There was also discussion of Ms. Blanchard's meeting with William Mobbs, Commissioner of Public Works; Robert Nicholas, Airport Manager; and with the new Regional Director of the Depaitinent of Environmental Conservation. The new Director indicated he was interested in establishing a procedure to work together instead of getting into a lot of delay situations that have been a past problem for some departments. Ms. Blanchard said he intends to visit the Recycling and Solid Waste Center, the Transit Facility, and the Airport upon invitation to Tompkins County by Chairman Stein. She reported the survey on the bridge maintenance responsibilities on town and county roads in New York State is almost complete, and said she hopes to give a report on this at the next Board meeting. She stated the electric bus should be arriving in Tompkins County very soon. Dwight Mengel, Chief of Transportation Planning, reported the bus will arrive in Tompkins County on August 1, and will be used for the opening ceremony for the Empire State Games. He stated the bus will be in service through August 27. Mr. Mengel said an open house will be held on August 25 and 26 by senior project people to talk with the public about this new type of technology now being applied to public transit. He said this technology may also end up in automobiles in the coming decades. The next meeting will be August 16. RESOLUTION NO. 156 - AWARD OF TOMTRAN PARATRANSIT VAN BID MOVED by Ms. Blanchard, seconded by Mrs. Schuler, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by members present. Ms. Kiefer asked what fuel modes were in the bid; Mr. Mengel said just gasoline. WHEREAS, The Department of Finance - Purchasing has duly advertised for bids for the purchase of four (4) paratransit vans to provide service required under the Americans with Disabilities Act and for other demand response services, included in the County's 1995 Federal Transit Administration Section 9 grant (Resolution No. CA093-94, 12/20/94), and WHEREAS, bid documents were requested by twelve (12) dealers or bus manufacturers, and a single bid was received and opened on Monday, May 15, 1995, and WHEREAS, a pre -award certification and cost analysis was performed to ensure that the proposed van met the technical specification, "Buy America" and other federal requirements, now therefore be it RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Transportation Services Committee, That the bid be awarded to Matthews Buses, Inc., of Ballston Spa, New York, with a base bid $145,776, budgeted as follows: Federal Section 9: $116,621 New York State: 14,578 Tompkins County: 4,859 City of Ithaca: 4,859 CU Transit: 4,859 $145,776 RESOLVED, further, That the Contracts Coordinator is authorized to execute a purchasing agreement with Matthews Buses, Inc., RESOLVED, further, That after acceptance of said vans, the Director of Finance is authorized to make payment from the Public Transit Improvement Project Account #HA5625.9239. SEQR ACTION: TYPE 1I-15 RESOLUTION NO. 157 - INCREASING FISCAL TARGET, ROAD MAINTENANCE MOVED by Ms. Blanchard, seconded by Ms. Mink. Mrs. Schuler and Mr. Lane expressed their feelings on the importance of having a sidewalk on Brown Road because it is a unique piece of County 213 July 25, 1995 land, and its access to the Airport. There was concern expressed by some Board members for the County paying for sidewalk maintenance on this road when it does not pay for maintenance of sidewalks on any other roads. Ms. Blanchard stated she wanted to avoid having any reference to sidewalks in the resolution prior to meeting and having discussions with the Village of Lansing. It was also stated the intent of this resolution is to not penalize a depai tment for having to take on another road but to give enough money to do the job without jeopardizing other roads in the County. Mr. Lane and Mrs. Schuler felt strongly that a sidewalk is part of a road. Ms. Blanchard stated there will be a sidewalk on Brown Road; however, a location has not been selected at this time. She said because of ongoing discussions with the Village of Lansing, she does not feel this is the appropriate time to argue whose responsibility it will be to maintain the sidewalk. It was MOVED by Mr. Lane, seconded by Mrs. Schuler, to amend the resolution to add the following wording to the RESOLVED, fourth line, following the words "traffic signal": "and sidewalk maintenance pending agreement with the Village of Lansing". A voice vote on the amendment resulted as follows: Ayes - 2 (Representatives Lane and Schuler), Noes - 11, Excused - 2 (Representatives Joseph and Lerner). MOTION FAILED. A voice vote on the original resolution resulted as follows: Ayes - 13, Noes - 0, Excused 2 (Representatives Joseph and Lerner). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.

SEQR ACTION: TYPE II -15 Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Health and Environmental Quality Committee Mr. Evans, Chairman, reported the Committee met August 10 and the business conducted at that meeting is reflected by the resolutions on the agenda. He commented there was discussion on the report of the Jail Nurse position and the Committee voted unanimously to have this position report to the Corrections Division rather than the Health Department. He apologized for misleading the Board at the last meeting concerning his statement that the County Charter and Code requires this position to report to the Corrections Division. He stated this is not the case, and the position may report to either the Corrections Division or the Health Department. He noted the Public Safety Committee also unanimously approved of this position reporting to the Corrections Division. He stated the Committee heard a report from Mrs. Anderson, Cooperative Extension Agent for Environmental Education, on work she has been doing.

Privilege of the Floor by the Public James Milkes of Trumansburg said he is a volunteer tutor with Literacy Volunteers. He gave the Board background information about relationships tutors have with their students. He said he received his training in March and emphasized the training in Tompkins County is very good. He said teaching adults is much different than teaching children. One of his students began about five months ago at a level of Dr. Seuss and his now working with short biography books. One of the most recent accomplishments with that student is he has learned how to use a checkbook. He quoted one of his students: "Not being able to read is like being blind". Alan Michael of Enfield said he went to Literacy Volunteers for help. He said as a young boy he had a difficult time learning and was in special programs. Literacy Volunteers has helped him a great deal, he said. He stated he his concerned with what people like him will do if funding is cut for this program. He feels if people cannot get jobs, crime rates will increase. He reminded the Board that things are different now than 40 years ago such as self-service gas pumps. LeGrace Benson, 314 East Buffalo Street and former Board member, said she is also a trained volunteer for Literacy Volunteers. She spoke about her experiences as a volunteer. She has taught people from other countries to read permitting them to look for jobs. She said she is currently working with a family from Cuba. The man is an auto mechanic but is unable to get a job until he learns to speak English, and his wife is a seamstress and would also like to be working as soon as possible. She said this program is a savor and winner. Doug Foster, Board President of Literacy Volunteers, gave the Board an update on the recent State funding cutbacks. He said the Literacy Volunteer organization in Tompkins County is one of eleven to be cut by EPE funding by the State. Currently there is no program staff, but a short-term fund raising event will be held to raise the money needed to hire back the staff. He said Literacy Volunteers is requesting $5,000 in emergency funding for 1995 and $52,000 in increased, ongoing funding for 1996. This will be discussed at the Human Services Committee meeting in September. He presented the Board with a chart showing the cutbacks in students served and staff hours. Marian Lane, Treasurer for Literacy Volunteers, stressed two points. 1) Literacy Volunteers serves a population that is not served by any other program. Most students are below the fifth grade reading level. The program also offers one-on-one tutoring at the students convenience. 2) Literacy 240 August 22, 1995 Volunteers has managed the level of staff time resulting in 4,000 tutoring hours per year. She said there is no other program that could do that. Valorie Rockney, 304 Linn Street, and Executive Director of Literacy Volunteers, expressed her appreciation and thanked the volunteers who spoke and Board members for their support. Marge Dill, Director of Human Services Coalition, urged the Board to support funding for the Literacy Volunteers. She referred to an article in the Ithaca Journal and stated the article was very accurate. Privilege of the Floor by Board Members Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Representative, reminded the Board of the Bicentennial Celebration this Saturday in Brooktondale. Mr. Totman, District No. 9 Representative, read a statement concerning agencies requesting funds due to state cuts. He said he knows agencies provide vital services to the less fortunate, but feels some agencies can be administered for less money. He also feels all special requests should be prioritized and determine what services should be eliminated or cut back and then consider the extra funding. Mr. Lane, District No. 14 Representative, spoke about the hostage incident in Dryden last week. He commended the three agencies (State Police, Tompkins County Sheriff's Department, and the Dryden Police Department) for their cooperative efforts in bringing the incident under control safely. Mr. Meskill, District No. 15 Representative, also commended two Deputy Sheriffs, Daniel Drew and David Bush, for their involvement with the hostage incident. In addition, he announced that the 145th Trumansburg Fair began today. Mr. Joseph, District No. 12 Representative, spoke about agencies experiencing cuts. He said the Board needs to make two distinctions: 1) emergency or non -emergency. He said only one agency has requested emergency funding. He referred to a memorandum written to Mr. Totman from Mr. Heyman, County Administrator, about the Department of Social Services costs compared to other counties; and 2) does the agency save the County money. Ms. Mink, District No. 5 Representative, referred to an aritcle she read in a magazine concerning a constituent appealing to her State Senator for restoration of funds for a reading program. She was dismayed at the Senator's response who blamed the woman for her troubles. She said the Board needs to keep requests for funding in a larger perspective. Mrs. Livesay, District No. 11 Representative, announced Saturday, August 26, is the celebration of Women's Equality Day, the 75th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment. Withdrawal of Resolution(s) from the Agenda Chairman Stein granted Ms. Blanchard permission to withdraw the following resolution from the agenda: Award of Contract to Supply a Snow Blower with Broom Attachment - Tompkins County Airport Chairman's Report 241 August 22, 1995 Chairman Stein updated the Board on a meeting he, Representative Mink, Representative Todd, and County Administrator Heyman had with Cornell University President Rawlings. He said solid waste was at the top of the list to discuss. There is mutual interest in continuing negotiations about the Annual Solid Waste Fee and continuing cooperation for recyclable materials. Also discussed was economic development, competition between the University and private businesses, assessment and taxes. He said they also hope that Cornell would not withdraw anything more from the taxable base of the County and that they remove their objections about applying sales tax to Statler Hotel rooms for those who are not there on Campus business. In addition, air service was discussed as well as the need to cooperate on highways and roads. He feels the meeting was worthwhile and will lead to continued further cooperation. Chairman Stein also reminded the Committee chairs about the memorandum concerning the meetmg(s) with State Representatives. He will plan to schedule a meeting in October and said that is the time to express concerns and present proposals the Board wishes to have enacted in 1996. Report from the County Administrator Mr. Heyman said County departments have submitted their budget proposals. A summary and the paperwork committees need will be available August 31. Report from the County Attorney Mr. Wood, Assistant County Attorney, said he did not have a report. Report from the Finance Director Mr. Squires said August 14 was the last day to pay 1991 tax liens. As of that date, there was $230,000 of outstanding taxes subject to foreclosure and of those 35 proposals, 7 are owner -occupied. He said on August 29 the County will be going to bond market. A bond rating will be coming from Moodey's in a day or so. Total issues are $19.9 million of obligations. He said of the $19.9 million, only about $3 Million is new financing. The official statement is on file in the Clerk of the Board's office. He also briefly explained the three resolutions on the agenda concerning bond anticipation notes. He said the resolutions provide the authorization to set the terms of financing. He said the advantage of allowing the New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation to finance the bonds is the outstanding notes from the landfill closure can be converted to a pool financing which would have an interest rate substantially below market. He stated the current interest rates for a 20 -year bond are 5.5 percent. He said the pool financing subsidizes that interest cost. If the County is fortunate, the County would have a net interest cost of 2.6 percent and could save a substantial amount in solid waste funds in future years. He said in New York State, if a County maintains its bond rating, that is an accomplishment. He feels the County will maintain a AA rating. Affirmation of Resolutions Not Requiring Board Action Chairman Stein gave the appropriate committee chairmen permission to withdraw from the agenda the following resolutions with final committee action being affirmed: CA042-95 - Authorization to Execute Agreement with New York State Association of Counties CA043-95 - Budget Adjustments - Various Departments Report, Presentation of Resolution(s), and Appointments from the Human Services Committee Mr. Joseph, Chairman, said the committee has not met since the last Board meeting. 242 August 22, 1995 RESOLUTION NO. 183 - AMENDMENT TO RESOLUTION NO. 164 of 1995 APPROPRIATIONS OF UNSPENT PRIOR YEAR FUNDS FROM GENERAL AND ROAD FUND BALANCES TO VARIOUS ACCOUNTS; ADJUSTMENTS TO 1996 FISCAL TARGETS MOVED by Mr. Joseph, seconded by Ms. Mink.

She said the committee discussed the Sales Tax Agreement with the City of Ithaca with Mr. Cafferillo of the City. More discussions will follow and a new agreement will be forthcoming. The committee also discussed employee evaluations and health benefits which will continue. The committee approved a resolution that requires committee action only concerning a foreclosure policy. The next committee meeting is August 28 and the budget review meeting is September 18. She reviewed current vacancies on advisory boards and announced that no town has approved the proposal for mailing the Annual Solid Waste Fee with the property tax bill. RESOLUTION NO. 187 - ADOPTION OF REVISED ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY 01-26 - ADVISORY COMMITTEES AND BOARDS MOVED by Mrs. Livesay, seconded by Mrs. Schuler. It was MOVED by Mr. Lerner, seconded by Ms. Mink, to replace the wording in the policy "be residents of ' with "live or work in". It was noted that there is one law that states advisory board members must be county residents and another law that mandates certain positions serve on advisory boards, however, some employees serving in those positions live out of the county. Mr. Meskill thinks exceptions should be possible in certain circumstances where the employee is employed in or by Tompkins County. He noted Ms. Kiefer's amended version of the policy which was on each member's desk. Ms. Kiefer noted previous concerns of Board members for vacancies, and thinks this matter, too, should be addressed in any revision of this policy. Following discussion, Mr. Wood, Assistant County Attorney, stated it is his opinion that the Board does not have the authority to appoint residents out of county. Mr. Lerner withdrew his motion following the attorney's opinion, but said he would like to see a copy of the law. Ms. Kiefer recommended that this issue be brought to the attention of the State legislators at the October meeting. Mr. Todd recommended the Board approve the resolution as presented to the Board with the understanding that the concerns raised be referred to committee.

He said the second half the meeting focused on economic development. Elizabeth Rudan of Tompkins County Area Development, and Charles Schlough, who has been retained by the Agricultural and Farmland Protection Board to perform a survey on open and existing land in Tompkins County were in attendance at the meeting and gave a brief overview of their work. There was discussion of the need to enhance mid-size business, home business and micro - enterprise. Mr. Proto said most municipalities want the County's involvement, but they do not want the County to tell them want to do, just to help them do what they want. The money to help some of the projects together was also a topic of discussion.

Privilege of the Floor by the Public No member of the public wished to speak at this time. Privilege of the Floor by Board Members Mr. Lerner, District No. 2 Representative, spoke concerning an achievement of the Health Department and other agencies in the County concerning the Prenatal Care Assistance Program and related efforts in prenatal care. He stated the ten-year average of eight infant deaths per thousand in 1990 was well above average for New York State and the United States. Only recently numbers show since the PCAP program has gotten underway, and with the combined efforts of other agencies for the last three years (1992-94) this figure has dropped to below three per thousand. Mr. Lerner said this represents a decrease by two-thirds, and he credits those who have worked on this. He said it takes a few years to learn how prevention can achieve even more than one hoped for. 265 September 19, 1995 Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Representative, thanked Representative Lerner for his comments concerning the infant mortality rate. He said this speaks well for the Depai tment and the agencies involved.

He reported at the meeting there was discussion concerning comments that had been made by House Speaker, Newt Gingrich to which offense was taken. Mr. Stein stated the essence of the criticism of the comments is that New York City and New York State is rotten to the core because it comes to the Federal government for the most money. Mr. Stein stated New York State sends more money to the Federal government than it receives. The State of Georgia receives $1 billion more than it sends. It represents a kind of hostility against New Yorkers that exists in the Congress. One of the major points of discussion that went through the Congress was the pending legislation for block grants in a series of areas, including workfare, job training, Medicare, and transportation services. The question is not whether there will be block grants. There will be block grants but the question is how does New York State make sure that it gets its fair share and it appears with the current negotiations that the State will not. Mr. Stein questioned how will New York State respond to the legislation that is coming down from the Federal government. He said NYSAC is trying to influence what happens and is trying to make sure that New York State benefits from the process. He feels County Representatives and staff should begin communicating with State representatives on what is important to Tompkins County. He said he hopes a meeting can be arranged in the next month for this purpose. Report from the County Administrator Mr. Heyman had no report. Report from the County Attorney Mr. Theisen reported there is still a hold up on the imposition of the Motor Vehicle Use Fee but has heard there has been progress with the moratorium. He said he hopes it will be resolved in the next couple of weeks. Report from the Finance Director Mr. Squires announced on September 29 the County will be holding its property auction in the Old Jail Conference Room. There is a potential of 30 properties with a total of $225,000 owed in taxes. Mr. Proto asked about a rebate from Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Central New York. He asked if taxpayers would be receiving a portion of the rebate, and also asked for a breakdown of how the funds would be disbursed. Mr. Squires stated that the County received a check in the amount of $1.4 million and it has been broken down into participators share. The bargaining units wanted to put the employee's co -pay which is less than ten percent, to use as soon as possible. The remainder of the County's share will be put into the Fund Balance. He also said he anticipates receiving $190,000 from Blue Cross/Blue Shield for an overpayment in 1995. Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Solid Waste Committee Mr. Todd, Chairman, reported the Committee met September 13 and the results of that meeting are reflected on the agenda. The Committee also discussed the Solid Waste Annual Fee with Cornell University, Ithaca College and with BOCES. He called attention that the County's partner at the Recycling and Solid Waste Center has been purchased by a national company, Waste Management, Inc. He said there will continue to be meetings in the future to see what impact this will have on Tompkins County's operations. The next meeting is October 18 at 10 a.m. 267 September 19, 1995 RESOLUTION NO. 205 - ESTABLISHING A UNIT CHARGE FOR THE 1996 ANNUAL SOLID WASTE FEE MOVED by Mr. Todd, seconded by Ms. Kiefer. Mr. Todd read the following Statement: "The Solid Waste Committee is pleased to recommend, the Solid Waste Annual Fee for 1996, to the Tompkins County Board of Representatives. This fee schedule reflects the Mike Lane Fairness Committee report accepted by the County Board on September 5, 1995. The reduction in the Solid Waste Annual Fee is possible because of the following: 1. $2 million State grant to help pay for the capital costs of the Recycling and Solid Waste Center (RSWC). This grant is the result of good staff work and the good timing of our facility. This savings will be every year for the life of the Bond. 2. Good staff work will enable Tompkins County to bond the debt service of our two closed landfalls (Caswell and Hillview), and a State subsidized rate of 2.55 percent instead of 5.5 percent. This will mean large savings to the Tompkins County Solid Waste Division for the life of that Bond. 3. Good staff work is responsible for favorable bids for hauling and disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW) and curbside pickup of recyclables. The cost savings as a result of these bids also help to lower the solid waste annual fee. 4. The start up in March, 1995, of the Recycling and Solid Waste Center has provided savings for private haulers and the City for trash and recyclables delivery, because of the central location of the Recycling and Solid Waste Center. The prices received for the recyclables since March have been well beyond our projections. These high prices have also helped to lower the 1996 Solid Waste Annual Fee. 5. The Solid Waste Division has been restructured to provide greater flexibility and now operates more efficiently. The Solid Waste Committee and staff will continue to work toward lowering the Solid Waste Annual Fee in future years." Mrs. Eckstrom explained the categories and rates and also the Solid Waste Revenues and budget projects for the Solid Waste Annual Fee. She noted the schools share is included in Category D - Colleges and Universities. She pointed out that a fund balance already exists of $350,000. It is very likely that there should be additional left -over revenues from this year. She said the goal of the Division is to have the Solid Waste Annual Fee go down, or at the least, remain stable. Bill Seavy, Financial Analyst for the Solid Waste Division, gave the following description in the change in the Annual Fee 1995 vs. 1996. He stated 78 percent of homes in Tompkins County can expect a decrease in the Fee and 22 percent can expect an increase. The 22 percent figure represents mobiles homes and duplexes based on recommendations of the Solid Waste Annual Fee Fairness Committee. He also noted apartments will see both an increase and decrease based on square footage. Mrs. Schuler asked how close the apartment data were; Mr. Seavey replied within ten percent. Mr. Proto commented on a news release which mentions the breakdown of costs and what the County will be saving. The news release says for most residents a reduction will occur of eight percent. He said missing from the document is mention of the College and University. He stated he does not agree with a 28 percent decrease in College contributions while homeowners can only expect a decrease of eight percent. Mr. Todd stated the Colleges and Universities are participating in their fair share of the Fee. 268 September 19, 1995 Mr. Lerner stated when the Fee was first created, the Board was concerned with the rising cost of solid waste management. The County looked for an alternative to property taxes that would capture the colleges and not -for -profits, and that was a reason for creating the Solid Waste Annual Fee. He feels the current proposal seems to be undermining the initial philosophy of the Fee. He feels this shift in the rate structure makes this Fee unfair to over half the taxpayers of Tompkins County. He also stated that exemptions that were previously included in the structure to make the Fee fairer are eliminated in the current proposal. Mr. Lerner stated he was in disagreement with recommendations by the Solid Waste Annual Fee Fairness Committee. Mr. Lerner raised an issue with questions he has asked the Solid Waste Division for in March 1995 and never received. Mr. Winch said he supports the resolution but is reluctant because of the change in the Fee for mobile home owners. He said he is extremely bothered by a resolution that will hurt two segments of the County: senior citizens who live in mobile home parks, and a lot of people that do not have substantial incomes. Mr. Joseph noted the Depaitnient, because of increased efficiency, is asking for a 28 percent decrease in money. He questioned the fairness in only returning eight percent to property owners. He said under the proposed structure, the less a home is valued at, the less of a decrease in an Annual Fee one will receive. Mr. Joseph said he would rather put the Fee back on the property tax, than approve the proposed fee structure. Mrs. Eckstom, Solid Waste Manager, explained in her opinion why Representative Lerner did not receive information he requested (stated above). She stated in June several pieces of information were requested of Representative Todd and the Fairness Committee, not directly of staff. She said Mr. Todd and Mr. Lane discussed this and felt that for the effort involved in light of other budgeting priorities and setting of the Fee, it didn't seem necessary at the time in terms of changing anyone's mind either way. Ms. Mink stated the claim Mr. Lerner is making needs to be answered because it is a decisive issue. She said if Mr. Lerner's claim is correct, and the contributions from the schools and university do not balance out, she would support not having a Solid Waste Annual Fee, and placing this on the property tax. Chairman Stein stated he has heard arguments this evening on whether the County should do away with the Solid Waste Annual Fee and put this on the property tax, and stated he is prepared to appoint a special committee at this meeting to reexamine this fee structure immediately because he feels members have totally opposite views on this subject. Mr. Lane said the issue before the Board is the Fee that is in place and a method for distributing the cost most effectively. He said the Fairness Committee had very specific parameters of what they would be looking at. He said he would not support putting the Annual Fee back on the property tax. Mrs. Livesay said when the Solid Waste Annual Fee was established, there was agreement that there was no answer that was going to accommodate everyone. She does not feel this Board should rush to reexamine the Fee. Mr. Lerner stated the following are questions he asked of Solid Waste staff in March 1995 and never received answers for: 269 September 19, 1995 1. The information about what is the comparative impact on a homeowner with different assessed values of the Fee vs. property tax. 2. Of the categories created by the Fee, what would be the net revenues gathered from each of these categories, first of all from the Fee on the old system and the new system; what would be the net revenues from each of these paying groups on the property tax and what is the net contribution of tonnage to the waste stream from each of these groups. Mr. Todd stated he would take responsibility for Representative Lerner not receiving answers to the above questions. Following further discussion and debate on the resolution, a roll call vote on the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes - 9 (Representatives Blanchard, Kiefer, Lane, Livesay, Mink, Todd, Totman, Winch, and Stein); Noes - 4 (Representatives Lerner, Joseph, Schuler, and Proto). Excused - 2 (Representatives Evans and Meskill). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.

Approval of Minutes of September 19, 1995 It was MOVED by Mr. Evans, seconded by Mr. Proto, and unanimously adopted by voice vote, to approve the minutes of September 19, 1995, with proposed changes submitted by Representative Kiefer. MINUTES APPROVED. Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Facilities and Operations Committee Presentation by the Buildings and Grounds Division Mr. Winch, Chairman, reported Arel LeMaro, Buildings and Grounds Division Supervisor, was hired in the summer of 1994. Mr. Winch stated when the position was being filled, it was intended that the successful candidate would be able to analyze the multi-year deficit that has existed in the Buildings and Grounds Division utilities budget, and would make a presentation on this to the Board. He said Mr. LeMaro has kept the Facilities and Operations Committee up-to-date on his proposals and ideas on energy conservation. At this time Mr. Winch introduced Mr. LeMaro. Mr. LeMaro gave the Board a presentation on the proposed resolution. He said the Buildings and Grounds Division pays the electrical costs for nine County buildings. This includes electric, steam, gas, water and sewer. He said 41 percent of the Division's operating budget goes to pay for utilities, and showed increases that have occurred in utility rates since 1990, which amount to approximately 48 percent. Rate increases cannot be controlled, and this has resulted in the deficit in the budget of the Division. He explained ways in which the Division is trying to involve building users to be more responsible such as closing windows, turning off non-essential appliances and computers, and to also stay away from thermostats. Other things being done to reduce energy consumption, is the creation of a program to be used as part of a County -wide energy management system. Mr. LeMaro stated if this resolution is approved, it will relieve the Buildings and Grounds Division of having to repay the General Fund $214,216 for a deficit that has occurred through 1994, and will allow the Buildings and Grounds Division to focus on cleaning and maintenance. Mr. Lerner stated he feels the direction the County should go is pull utility costs out of the budget for the Buildings and Grounds Division, and have this amount shared with departments who are able to control utility costs. Ms. Mink said this is part of a process being worked on by one of the quality improvement teams at Public Works. Mr. Lane asked if the Board would be seeing another request like this in the future. Mr. LeMaro stated he feels this resolution should be sufficient if he is successful in controlling utility costs. RESOLUTION NO. 216 - RESOLUTION OF BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS DEFICIT and, MOVED by Mr. Winch, seconded by Ms. Mink, and unanimously adopted by voice vote. WHEREAS, the Buildings and Grounds Division pays utility bills for nine (9) County buildings WHEREAS, utility bills account for 40 percent (40%) of its operating budget, and WHEREAS, utility cost increases have exceeded fiscal target increases significantly (11% or $334,166) over the past five years, and WHEREAS, energy consumption levels have remained fairly constant or decreased over the same period due to numerous steps taken by the Buildings and Grounds Division to reduce energy 285 October 2, 1995 consumption such as negotiating with New York State Electric and Gas (NYSEG) to obtain the best possible rates; replacing incandescent bulbs with more efficient long-lasting compact fluorescents; replacing T-12 fluorescents with high efficiency T-8 fluorescent bulbs and electronic ballast's; removing unneeded lamps in non-critical areas; rewiring and installing additional switches to allow some or all lights in an area to be turned off; reducing operation of HVAC and peripheral systems during unoccupied hours; rescheduling evening cleaning activities to daytime hours; replacing HVAC filters regularly; installing seven-day timers on electric water heaters; reducing hot water temperatures, etc., and WHEREAS, Buildings and Grounds Division efforts are under way to involve building users in energy conservation practices, and WHEREAS, Buildings and Grounds will continue to identify and implement energy conservation opportunities with the greatest savings potential, and WHEREAS, utility increases have contributed to a $302,216 multi-year deficit in the Buildings and Grounds Division, now therefore be it RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee, That the Buildings and Grounds Division is relieved of the responsibility of repaying the General Fund $214,216 for deficits incurred through December 31, 1994, and that this Board shall address the projected 1995 deficit by action at a later date. SEQR ACTION: TYPE II -15 Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Human Services Committee Mr. Joseph, Chairman, reported the Committee met today and received a report on caseloads from the Department of Social Services. He stated that the statistics had been going down, but are showing an increase for September. Ms. Blanchard suggested that the packet of statistical information that was distributed to Board members from the Statistical Task Force from the Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee could be converted into a more readable format. Mr. Lerner asked that the graphs in that packet of information be provided by the Department of Social Services on an annual basis. RESOLUTION NO. 217 - APPROPRIATION FROM CONTINGENT FUND - LITERACY VOLUNTEERS MOVED by Mr. Joseph, seconded by Mrs. Livesay. Mr. Lane said he cannot support making up a shortfall that was created by the State. Mr. Proto stated this is an example where rollover funds could be used. Mr. Totman said he does not feel Tompkins County should support a program that has received State cuts. He feels Literacy Volunteers should not close because of this shortfall, but rather look for additional volunteers to assist them. Mr. Meskill stated reading is the essence of living and will support this resolution. Ms. Kiefer asked how many of Literacy Volunteers 181 students had failed to learn to read in public schools and how many people are using Literacy Volunteers to learn English as a second language. Ms. Rockney stated 60 percent are being taught English as a second language, 40 percent are those who do not know how to read, and 60 percent are immigrants who are permanent residents in the community. Ms. Kiefer said BOCES offers free ESL (English and a Second Language) to adults, and while she will support this $5,000 grant because the community seems to want that, she has reservations about duplicating services. Mr. Joseph stated there are several reasons why people use Literacy Volunteers, and stated he does not feel this County Board should automatically deny funding agencies who have experienced shortfalls from the State. He feels this Board should look at each request on its merits and make its own independent judgment on each. 286 October 2, 1995 A roll call vote on the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes - 11 (Representatives Evans, Joseph, Kiefer, Lerner, Livesay, Meskill, Mink, Proto, Schuler, Todd and Stein); Noes - 4 (Representatives Blanchard, Lane, Totman, and Winch). RESOLUTION ADOPTED. WHEREAS, Literacy Volunteers of Tompkins County, Inc., last year provided 181 local adults with free, confidential tutoring by 122 trained volunteers, and WHEREAS, literacy and economic self-sufficiency are clearly linked, and WHEREAS, State Education Department funding was abruptly cut off, resulting in cuts in services to County residents, and WHEREAS, emergency funding is needed to restore Literacy Volunteers programs and enable that agency to seek more permanent funding, now therefore be it RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Human Services and Budget and Fiscal Policy Committees, That the Director of Finance is directed to appropriate $5,000 from the County Contingent Fund, A1990, to A6310.4536, Literacy Volunteers on a one-time basis to meet this need, and that this appropriation is contingent on the City of Ithaca providing $5,000 to Literacy Volunteers in 1995. SEQR ACTION: TYPE II -15 RESOLUTION NO. 218 - AUTHORIZATION TO EXECUTE CONTRACT INCLUDING OPPORTUNITY CORPORATION (EOC) AND BUDGET ADJUSTMENT MOVED by Mr. Joseph, seconded by Mrs. Livesay. Representative Mink was excused at 6:45 p.m. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 12, Noes - 2 (Representatives Meskill and Totman), Excused - 1 (Representative Mink). RESOLUTION ADOPTED. WHEREAS, EOC has received free space from Tompkins County since the Organization's founding as the County's grant payment to support the work of that Agency, and WHEREAS, this Board has revamped the County budget over the last two years into budgeting units and programs with the objective of making it clearer to the tax -paying and service -receiving public what their tax dollars are paying for, and WHEREAS, it is therefore desirable to budget the County's grant support of EOC and to collect rent from EOC as a separate transaction, thereby making the County's support for EOC clearer, and WHEREAS, EOC has requested a change in its assigned space in Biggs Building A, which change reduces the total space used by the Agency, now therefore be it RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Human Services and Budget and Fiscal Policy Committees, That space designated on a map prepared by the Division of Engineering in Biggs Building A is hereby assigned to Tompkins County EOC, RESOLVED, further, That the Director of Finance is authorized and directed to make the following budget adjustment: BUDGET ADJUSTMENT Appropriation: A6301.4501 EOC $77,715 Revenue A9999 Unallocated revenues $77,715 RESOLVED, further, That the County Administrator is authorized and directed to execute a contract and lease agreement with EOC through 1995 that includes $77,715 in grant funding to that agency, requires a payment of $ 77,715 in rent from that Agency, and requires EOC to seek grant funding 287 October 2, 1995 to cover as much as possible of the cost of its space and to pay to Tompkins County any of this funding that it succeeds in obtaining, RESOLVED, further, That EOC's payment to Tompkins County in 1996 shall be determined by the cost to Tompkins County of providing that space. SEAR ACTION: TYPE II -15 Chairman's Report and Appointments Chairman Stein made the following appointments: Electronic Future Committee Alan McAdams GIS Advisory Committee Jack Miller Sheriff's Department Contract Committee (Union contract expires February 29, 1996) Scott Heyman Anita Fitzpatrick Beverly Livesay Peter Meskill Chairman Stein stated that a couple of weeks ago an editorial concerning the New York State Quick Draw lottery game which called for County Boards to vote on the lottery appeared in the Ithaca Journal. He said he asked the County Attorney whether the County had any role in this. He said he was informed by memo from the County Attorney that a County Board does not have any role in the lottery. The lottery is entirely within the State's purview. The County may only take the action of requesting that the State take some form of action.

Mr. Proto also reported October 13, 1916 was an auspicious day for this County and mail service. The first time air mail was dropped in the United States was in Ithaca, New York. Presentation by Human Service Space Planning Committee Ms. Mink began by telling the Board the purpose for this presentation is to inform the Board on where the Committee has been, where they are now, and what remains to be done. She said she hopes to be able to get everyone's questions answered this evening. She reported the process started approximately two years ago when the previous Board was poised to spend $6.5 million on replacing the heating and ventilation systems at Biggs A. This was at a point after a year of complaints about air quality issues and security in the building. At this time it seemed to make sense not to move forward, but to look at other options for how we could provide the services these agencies provided in that building or elsewhere in another building. At that point a space study was commissioned by Sutton Associates which was presented to the Board and accepted on March 21, 1995. Issues such as space use, what kind of services are being provided, and what agencies work well together were looked at in this Study. After examination of a number of sites, using criteria including how they could accommodate the space needs of each agency, the availability of parking for employees and clients, accessibility to the client base and public transportation, security considerations, and proximity to other governmental offices, twenty-five sites were reduced to nine. The study found that forty-one percent of the client base lived in the City of Ithaca and fourteen percent in the Town of Ithaca, and concluded that the City was an appropriate site for those agencies. Ms. Mink stated on April 4, 1995, this Board voted unanimously not to continue use of Biggs A as a home for County agencies, and voted almost unanimously to look seriously at what it would mean to locate a building elsewhere. She said two options were going to be looked at: A site downtown, and a site on land currently owned by the County by the current Biggs A and B buildings. She stated Thomas Associates were hired on June 20, 1995, and were asked to reduce the nine sites that Sutton had evaluated to three and then to one, and then to come up with a preliminary design of what a building could look like. During that time negotiations were also held with the City on coming up with terms for a Memorandum of Understanding that would be presented to this Board at the time of a vote, that would be a guideline of expectations and assurances. Of the three finalist sites, the Elks/Eagles site was a very tight space, without room for setback or landscaping, and would require a bridge of the Ithaca Journal parking lot; the Woolworth 'site would take existing parking spaces, could severely disrupt Woolworth's operations and create congestion, and has the complication of multiple owners. She said during this presentation, the Board will look at the results of the Thomas Study, the Biggs alternative, and a spreadsheet which will look at the comparative costs. She said she will share correspondence from the Mayor about negotiations from the City, and will also open the floor for questions from Board members. David Kukuck, Architect for Thomas Associates, said this has been an effort that has involved not only a very large Committee, but also senior administrators and a large group of stakeholders. He stated there have been two efforts, one has been a question of becoming familiar with the needs of the County relative to any new facility, and to look at how those criteria, concerns and parameters could be dealt with and incorporated into a site downtown. He said the process has been very constructive, and Thomas Associates has been pleased to be a part of this. Mr. Kukuck stated discussions have taken 299 October 17,1995 place and continue to take place on how offices can meet the needs of administering a department, how they can help people work together, and how they can help different departments work together to achieve greater efficiency and effectiveness. Mr. Kukuck stated a list of ten or twelve criteria were developed of which he listed and explained some of them: • Program and functionality - meeting the program needs, how do we fit in the Department of Social Services, Probation, the Youth Bureau, the Credit Union, Central Services - how to make all of these departments work together; • Parking - a major concern in both places but also very different in both areas; • Safety and security and the need to accomplish multiple entries into the building for programmatic reasons; • Image and neighborliness - He said there was real concern that it would be looked at as the welfare building. The quality of how the building presented itself both to the public, the City, the County, and the people working there came up again and again as an issue; • Adaptability and expandability - the ability to allow individual depai tments to grow or shrink and not require massive renovation; the ability to either compress the County's needs for this facility and use part of the facility as lease space or another form so that it does not go to waste, or to put together a building that would allow it to grow if that became a need in the future; • Environmental quality - this has a lot of different aspects, not only internal, but also quality of the setting for the building itself. He said in order to facilitate looking at the same kinds of parameters, a benchmark solution was developed. This describes specifically, but broad enough to allow specific applications and terms, what this building would be. He said originally they were charged with looking at four downtown sites and helping the Committee generate enough information to make a decision on a preferred site. He said they were intent through the process not to identify one site as "the site" but say that "this looks like the best opportunity among the number of sites that were considered". Mr. Kuckuk said the site that was ultimately settled on was the one bordered by North Plain and West State Streets, which is three blocks West of the Commons and very much in the development corridor that the City sees wanting to take a direction on in the next few years towards bringing together the Commons and the Inlet development areas. Mr. Kukuck stated a number of configurations of the site were looked at, and it became clear that it was possible to accommodate the program on a much more limited site than the Committee had been looking at, primarily the commercial parcels which front along West State Street. He said the way the building is configured as a 64,000 sq. ft. building, consisting of four floors, which is within the zoning envelope currently in place for that site, and a single story element at the corner. The program also calls for 51 cars to be located on site, primarily agency and visitor parking, and also to look at the development of some green and open space within the limits the site would allow. The program at this point would include the Department of Social Services, Probation, the Youth Bureau, and Central Services. He said the intent of the building is that the departments are essentially built as single large open floor spaces, very much on a commercial office building model so that the interior partitioning that is readily flexible and can be modified without a great deal of expense. Mr. Kukuck continued his presentation by explaining the design configuration of the models presented. He said the building, as presented by the drawing this evening is seen as a very basic building, it is not intended to be anything developed beyond 300 October 17,1995 the needs of the agencies that would be housed in it. He also stated that included in the options is the County's option to take certain adjacent properties. James Kazda, Tompkins County Senior Civil Engineer, gave a presentation on the model at the Biggs site of the same Benchmark building that was just presented at the downtown site, and also reviewed a spreadsheet. He said the property that was originally looked at at Biggs is a 26 acre parcel, and when doing the original surveys, several areas were found that appeared to be wet, and they tried to locate the building on what they think is dry land. He said there are 240 staff and County car parking spots in the lot, there are 45 visitor spots in the front of the building. There is also the development of an entrance drive as well as a storm water detention basin which was required to reduce the effect of run off from the hard surfaces. The building is a three-story building, reduced in height to minimize the effect on foundations. One of the large differences in building on the Hill and Downtown is the requirement for the foundations. At this time Mr. Kazda reviewed the estimated costs for each alternative. Ms. Mink distributed copies of two letters sent by City of Ithaca Mayor Benjamin Nichols, in preparation for the Memorandum of Understanding she spoke of earlier. She said the City will be voting before this Board on whether to commit to buying and paving over an at -grade lot that would be reserved for County use, a block away from this preferred site downtown. This would give the County 70 spaces. She said there are also 20 spaces available at the firehouse parking lot across the street from the preferred site, as well as on-site spaces. The Planning and Engineering Departments have done surveys of the area and a two block perimeter at various times throughout the day, and found that there are about 100 spaces available. This would cover the parking needs of the County employees. The floor was now turned over for questions from Board members. Mr. Proto said he would like all Board members to be dealing with the same information as to what comprises the numbers that are being presented, and he asked how the numbers are arrived at. He said as he calculated figures he did not come up with the same figures on parking that have been presented. Mr. Kazda clarified what the actual parking needs are, and how those needs are proposed to be met. He said there are 255 parking spaces required which includes staff, visitors and County agency cars. At the preferred site downtown there are 51 sites, 28 slots that are reduced because of incentives that would be proposed for incentives for public transit, and there are some employees that live downtown and may walk or ride a bicycle to work, there are 20 slots behind the firehouse, and 70 slots would be in the new lot. This leaves a need for the County to find between 31 and 81 on -the -street parking spaces. He said the parking survey Ms. Mink spoke of found 100 unmetered parking spaces available for the County to use. Mr. Proto said this is the kind of detailed answers he is looking for. Ms. Mink said there is written backup information available to answer Mr. Proto's questions. Ms. Mink stated there will be similar presentations held for employees at Biggs A, and at least two presentations to the community before making a recommendation to this Board. Mrs. Schuler asked about the impact on the neighborhood. Mr. Hanson, Planning Commissioner, stated that a secondary impact analysis was done that went beyond the two -block area by two more blocks, and sufficient space was found. Mr. Meskill asked what the figure on the spreadsheet was based on in relation to the Biggs land for $360,000 for 18 acres. Mr. Kazda stated the figure is based on the assessment of the land that is currently with Biggs so it is an assessed value, not an appraised value. Mr. Meskill asked about the fiber optics and asked what the specifics are, and if there is any County cost involved and how would the County benefit from hooking up into that. He asked that the City's capital project be broken out showing what they have proposed in their 1996 budget, and the additional capital, unless it is all in there, for the parking lot improvement (block 14 vs. what they are proposing right now). 301 October 17,1995 Mr. Winch asked if the County would have a signed parking agreement concerning all parking issues with the City of Ithaca prior to the Board voting to proceed. Ms. Mink said she intends to obtain this. Mr. Winch also asked about the City's recent interest in payments in lieu of taxes recently. Ms. Mink replied they are not interested. She stated that it was agreed early in their negotiations that this issue would not come up. Mr. Winch asked for what period of time would this not come up. Mr. Lerner stated the preferred downtown site is in his district, and one of his concerns was what the impact of a massive multi -story office building on that block, and said his preliminary impression is that this issue has been dealt with very thoughtfully. Ms. Mink said she found similar reactions at the West End Business Association meetings. Mr. Proto stated early on there were discussions about housing other human services agencies in the same building as the County departments, and asked what became of this idea. Ms. Mink said there were representatives from the Human Services Coalition Study group at many of the meeting; however, that has fallen apart because of the lack of commitment by human services agencies. She has been told that those agencies are looking at another space. There was discussion on what the destiny plan would be of the current Biggs A building. She said no matter where the offices move, the Biggs A building will have to be dealt with. Mr. Hanson distributed a packet of information addressing this issue. Mr. Hanson said RFPs (Request for Proposals) are expected in on October 31; he noted that no potential respondents came for the site tour on September 13. He said the Cornell University Real Estate Division, has recommended that the County pursue using a high profile commercial real estate firm that has proven experience in this type of marketing. The presentation was concluded at this time. Ms. Mink asked if any Board member has questions, to forward them to her or staff in the next couple of weeks. She stated a recommendation, along with a resolution, will be presented to the Board at the next Board meeting on November 9, 1995.

He stated the Governmental Affairs Committee authorized him to attempt to sell the West Dryden Road home that was purchased through the Landfill Neighborhood Protection program which has been used for approximately the last five years as an agency operated foster home.

Mr. Theisen said he spoke with the person who gave Mrs. Livesay this information and was told the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles would be told it is okay to sign the agreement. Report from the Finance Director Mr. Squires reported on third quarter sales tax. He said the County is $80,000 below where it was at this time last year, and the figures show there will be a shortfall in the budget line of about $100,000 for 1995. He said if all goes well the County may receive the same amount it did last year in sales tax ($18.3 million). Mr. Squires reported this has been a busy month for his office, as they have been working on advertising parcels for unpaid taxes. He said 2,500 notices were sent out about unpaid solid waste fees amounting to $300,000 (sixteen percent of the billing). He said he has serious concern for this level of noncompliance. He said he will be issuing a third quarter report in the next few days. He said he has no information at this time on prior period adjustments. Mr. Lerner said he would be interested in seeing those figures when they come in. Mr. Proto asked if there are some people who may have paid their property taxes and not the solid waste fee. Mr. Squires said he has no doubt that some of the 800 unpaid parcels included some solid waste fees. Mrs. Livesay said once the solid waste fee is relevied, you are not able to identify it as a solid waste fee. Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Governmental Affairs Committee Mrs. Livesay, Chair, reported the Committee met on October 10 and continued to discuss the health insurance premiums.

MINUTES APPROVED. Presentation of Proclamation Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Representative, presented a proclamation commemorating the 50th Anniversary of the ending of World War II to the following individuals: Chet Freeman, representing the United States Army Air Corps Dusty Bredbenner, representing the United States Army Florence Finch representing the United States Coast Guard Leo Maleski, representing the United States Marine Corps Gilbert Andrews, representing the United States Navy Peter Kilhea, representing Veterans Affairs office Floyd Davis, representing the United States Merchant Marines Elaine Lazar, representing the United States Navy Calvin Criss, representing the Veterans Day Committee, thanked the Board and community for its support and said arrangements have been made for state and national proclamations to be included in their program for their ceremony to be held on November 11. Privilege of the Floor by the Public Lance Barr, 114 Auburn Street, spoke concerning Representative Winch's editorial in the November 8, 1995 Ithaca Journal, and the proposed move of the Department of Social Services to downtown Ithaca. Mr. Barr stated he has been a resident of the City of Ithaca for 25 years, noted various businesses that have left downtown, and said the growth in the City of Ithaca has been restaurants and retail stores. He said up on the hill is pristine, picked up; downtown is like the ghetto. He said after looking at the proposal prepared by the Architect, he feels a four-story office building would impose dramatically on the neighborhood. He feels there is another site one block to the east of the proposed site that would accommodate a Social Services building. Representative Lerner arrived at 5:47 p.m. 315 November 9, 1995 Ralph Jones, 607 Warren Place, and West State Street businessman, spoke concerning the proposed move of the Department of Social Services to downtown Ithaca. He read from a letter he wrote to Representative Mink, Chair of the Human Services Space Planning Committee, in which he states he is opposed to the proposed site and asked that the Board consider an alternative site. Mr. Jones said he feels there needs to be more community involvement in this decision making, and suggested the Board adopt a formal procedure to do this. He feels a project that will have such a large impact should be given great consideration. Chairman Stein arrived at 5:52 p.m. Marge Dill, Lansing resident, and Executive Director of the Human Services Coalition, spoke concerning moving the Depai tinent of Social Services to downtown Ithaca and thanked staff from various agencies for paying attention to something that is so important to the community. Ms. Dill also spoke to the accessibility of services to the people the services are meant to serve. She feels this is important and should be kept in mind. Yvonne Bartlett, Interlaken resident, and Department of Social Services employee, quoted from Representative Winch's editorial in the November 8, 1995 Ithaca Journal. She said it has been almost three years since she filed a worker's compensation claim because of multiple chemical sensitivity. She asked the Board to stop controverting the seven worker's compensation cases that are still pending, specifically asking Representative Lane, who is an attorney, to help get the cases uncontroverted. She also said she opposes the cost the County is paying for an attorney to fight the worker's compensation cases. She said she feels the County needs a new building for the Department of Social Services, and asked that the Board acknowledge that Biggs A is the cause of her problems. Mel Bartlett, Interlaken resident, and husband of Yvonne Bartlett who is a Depai tinent of Social Services employee, spoke of the hardship placed on him and his family because of his wife's illness. Mr. Bartlett said he does not understand why it would cost more to renovate the Biggs A building than it would be to build a new building. Barbara Mahoney, Hayts Road, and Department of Social Services employee, stated she attempted to work in the Biggs building two times after attempts were made to improve air quality. She said she is now being terminated from her employment at the Department of Social Services because she has not been able to work in the building. She read from paperwork that she received which outlined the criteria for her being able to return to work, and said she feels the criteria are unreasonable. She said that she is now being terminated and will no longer be covered by Blue Cross/Blue Shield insurance. Nancy Zahler, Director of the Tompkins County Youth Bureau, and the Director of a County Department that would be in the proposed downtown human services building, said she and her staff prefer to be located at a downtown site for several client related reasons, including the majority of the Department's client base lives downtown. She feels with proper planning the building would be a positive move for Tompkins County. Privilege of the Floor by Board Members Charles Evans, District No. 13 Representative, spoke concerning Wal-Mart. Mr. Evans, Chairman of the Special Committee on Wal-Mart, stated he recently met with Jonathan Wood, Assistant County Attorney; Katie White, Environmental Management Coordinator; and James Hanson, Planning Commissioner, and felt it would be appropriate to summarize that meeting. He said last July the County 316 November 9, 1995 was advised by the Committee to wait until the City issues a findings statement before the County invests significant resources in conducting its own. He said the City recently received a final environmental impact statement and issued the Findings Statement, and thereafter denied Wal -Mart's pennit application, finding the site plan unacceptable. As Wal -Mart's option with the County is expressly contingent upon the approval of the site plan by the City, Wal-Mart has not exercised its option and may never be in a position to do so. With regard to the Wal-Mart project, the County would be required to make a findings statement before making a final decision to approve or deny an action. The only action for the County is to deny or approve the selling of the land to Wal-Mart. However, as Wal-Mart has not exercised its option, the County is not called upon to approve or deny any action and is not now required to make any findings statement. He commented the County did look at the Findings Statement of the City and were Wal-Mart to meet the model requirements that were placed in there, he does not feel that there would be a problem with the project. Ms. Kiefer, District No. 10 Representative, stated the Special Committee on Wal -mart received and considered recommendations from County staff who had gone through the City's FEIS (Environmental Impact Statement), and their collective analysis indicated that the one site plan that the applicant had proposed would not address what were the County's four or five concerns. She feels it would have been appropriate for the Committee at that point to recommend to the City's Planning and Development Board that it not approve that particular site plan, but since the City's Board had met prior to the meeting of the County Committee, there was no point in making that recommendation. She said the County staff who analyzed the City's FEIS looked at the model site plan that the City's Board developed and included sufficient mitigation, and felt the County's concerns would be met if the model plan was the one that was adopted. Mr. Totman, District No. 9 Representative, spoke concerning the proposal to move the Department of Social Services to downtown Ithaca, and said he agrees and commends the comments made by Mr. Winch in his November 8, 1995 Editorial in the Ithaca Journal. Ms. Mink, District No. 5 Representative, and Chair of the Human Services Space Planning Committee, stated it is her intention to withdraw the resolution from the agenda entitled Designating a Site for Design and Construction of a Human Services Office Building. She said this Board adopted two resolutions this year based on analyzing very detailed spreadsheets about both immediate and long-term costs. She said that even if the County made minimal or substantial renovations to the Biggs complex, that over the years it would be phenomenally expensive to maintain. The decision to not invest long- term money for a long-term future for County agencies was made primarily for financial reasons, and said she understands why some people speaking this evening are relating their situation to that decision, but reminded the Board the reason for doing this was to really look seriously at how taxpayer dollars are being spent. It was found that over 25 years it would cost millions of dollars more to maintain a renovated Biggs complex than to build a new building. She feels the issue is not whether to build a new building, but where to build a new building. She feels the Committee has accomplished what it was charged to do, and has looked into issues such as dealing with the City of Ithaca, parking, costs and availability, and the issue of security. She also outlined the contents of a Memorandum of Understanding with the City of Ithaca. She said that based on meetings with the community, staff, and Board members, the Committee has agreed not to ask for a vote this evening and to answer some of the questions that have been raised, as well as look further into three specific issues: one of the other preferred sites (Elks/Eagles site), providing more parking at the State Street Site, and also to look at a site across the street from the preferred site. 317 November 9, 1995 Ms. Mink requested an executive session to discuss negotiations. Mr. Lane, District No. 14 Representative, and an Attorney by profession, referred to Mrs. Bartlett's comments under privilege of the floor by the public, and said he serves as a Member of this Board, and would not interject himself as a lawyer in legal County matters as the County retains its own attorney for legal purposes. Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Representative, spoke concerning the proposal to move the Department of Social Services to downtown Ithaca. He stated he has been reviewing information on the proposal and said he has several questions that need to be answered. He thanked Representative Mink for postponing action on this proposal. Mr. Meskill, District No. 15 Representative, stated he will be taking his firetruck for its last ride of the year in the Veterans Day Parade and invited any interested Board member to ride along. Presentation on the Internet Dean Eckstrom, Information Services Director, stated at the request of the Electronic Future Committee, he is present at this meeting to give the Board a presentation on the Internet - what it is about and why the County is involved. He stated to facilitate E -Mail access is the foremost reason why the County is connected to the Internet. He explained the World Wide Web, and stated it integrates text, graphics, animation, and sound. It's easy to use and easy to find things. It allows seamless cross -connection of information no matter where it is located. Its introduction in 1992 spawned with the explosive growth to the Internet. Why use the Web? The Web allows access to County information in a way that almost anyone can use without prior training. There is an inherently low cost, Web documents can easily be created, and sophisticated applications can also be built. Mr. Eckstrom gave the Board a demonstration on sites that are located on the World Wide Web and how using the Internet can benefit the County. He reported on the status of Internet services in Tompkins County, and stated the computer in the Board Room and at the Public Library has access to the Internet and Board members are welcome to take a drive. He concluded his presentation by answering questions raised by members of the Board. Withdrawal of Resolution(s) from the Agenda Chairman Stein gave the appropriate committee chairmen permission to withdraw from the agenda the following resolutions: Authorization to Hold Public Hearing for Amendment to Approved 1995 HUD Small Cities Program Authorizing an Agreement with C&S Engineers, Inc. for Services in Connection with Designating a Site for Design and Construction of a Human Services Office Building Addition of Resolution(s) to the Agenda There were no resolutions to be added. 318 November 9, 1995 Withdrawal of Resolution(s) Not Requiring Board Action Chairman Stein gave the appropriate committee chairmen permission to withdraw from the agenda the following resolutions with final committee action being affirmed: CA051-95 - Approval of Short -Term Lease (Hertz) - Old Terminal Building - Tompkins County Airport CA052-95 - Approval of Short -Term Lease (Avis) - Old Terminal Building - Tompkins County Airport CA053-95 - Approval of Short -Term Lease (Claritas) - Old Terminal Building - Tompkins County Airport CA054-95 - Budget Adjustments - Various Departments Chairman's Report and Appointments Chairman Stein thanked Board members for meeting with Senators Kuhl and Seward immediately before this meeting. After Board members left several department heads met with the Senators and relayed several concerns they have. Mr. Stein said those items that need further attention should be pulled together so that correspondence can be transmitted to them as the Senators have agreed to follow-up on concerns that were raised at this meeting. A meeting with Assemblyman Martin Luster has been scheduled for November 16 at 4 p.m. for the same purpose. Mr. Stein reported the Search Committee for a Human Rights Director will meet next week to begin this process. The members of the Committee are Chairman Stein; Mr. Joseph, Chairman of the Human Services Committee; Anita Fitzpatrick, Personnel Commissioner; and Joyce Muchan and Robert Skates who are members of the Human Rights Commission. Mr. Stein asked that Board members take note of the Report placed on members' desks from the Assessment Department. He recognized the 25th anniversary of this County Department and complimented the staff for doing a fine job. Appointments Chairman Stein appointed the following members to the Library Feasibility Study: James Kazda, Senior Civil Engineer Janet Steiner, Public Library Director Chair of the Planning, Community Development and Education Committee or Designee Chair of the Facilities and Operations Committee or Designee Chair of the Library Board of Trustees or Designee Report from the County Administrator Mr. Heyman also offered the Assessment Department congratulations on their 25th anniversary. He welcomed back Judy Tynyk who has been out ill for two months, and wished Theda Zimrot, Human Rights Commissioner, well in her retirement. Mr. Heyman also reported on a recent visit to the Dewitt Historical Society. Report from the County Attorney 319 November 9, 1995 Mr. Theisen had no report. Report from the Finance Director Mr. Squires had no report. Report from the Public Safety Committee Mr. Meskill, Chairman, reported the Committee met today, and resolutions will be reflected on the next agenda. There will be resolutions coming forward that deal with the board -out situation at the jail and another to purchase a patrol boat. Mr. Meskill reported there are currently 24 to 26 prisoners being boarded out. He stated in 1996 the Committee will be discussing the board -out situation and how to alleviate its impact on the County. He also reported that due to an automobile accident, the Jail Administrator is expected to be out of work until the first of the year. Report from the Planning, Community Development and Education Committee Mrs. Schuler, Chair, reported the Committee met yesterday and resolutions are reflected on the agenda. She reported the Committee discussed the consultant services for the County's GIS (Geographic Information System), and decided which consultant to go with. She announced on December 11 at 2 p.m. there will be an informational meeting regarding the GIS conversion of the County Clerk's office records which Bar Association members have been invited to, as they will be the primary users of that. The Committee also had discussion and a resolution on the renewal of the license agreement with NYSEG. Mrs. Schuler reported the tour of the libraries that was planned did not work out, and the Committee has now decided to tour the Ulysses and Newfield libraries on November 20 at 5 p.m., and all members of the Board are welcome. She announced the Tompkins County Planning Federation will meet November 14 at 7:30 p.m. She reported Tracy Smith, Circuit Rider for the Planning Department, will be leaving her position in the Planning Department. Mrs. Schuler commended her for her work, and said she will be missed. She stated prior to this Board meeting she attended a long-range meeting for the Airport and will keep the Board updated on this. Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Facilities and Operations Committee Mr. Winch, Chairman, reported a special meeting was held concerning security for the Main Courthouse. He said it is the Committee's intention to open the main entrance to the Courthouse and have full court security in the building, and said the entrance on the south end of the building will be open and will be staffed by a security guard. The staff will be paid for by the Office of Court Administration; however, there will be minor equipment costs to the County. He reported on the Brown Road project, and stated the traffic light has been installed and the road will soon open. Mr. Winch apologized to Board members and the public for parking problems as a result of renovations to the Old Courthouse.

SEQR ACTION: TYPE II -15 Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Transportation Services Committee Ms. Blanchard, Chair, reported the Committee met on October 25 and the Report that was circulated to Board members summarizes much of the information that was discussed at that meeting. Ms. Blanchard highlighted some of the items in the report. She said of the number of bridges in the County that are included in the Report only 40 percent are County roads, the other 60 percent are on either town of village roads. She said 53 percent of the County's bridges are rated as structurally deficient compared to 57 percent of the bridges in New York State. Twenty-one of the County's bridges are considered to be functionally obsolete which means they are not geared to provide the kinds of service they now need to provide. This figure is compared to fourteen percent nationally and nine percent of bridges throughout New York State. Overall, 26 percent of the County's bridges are considered to be adequate compared to 37 percent in New York State. She said if the budget commitment that is tentatively proposed for 1996 were to continue through the year 2000, the County would be able to raise the 26 percent to 42 percent. The Committee discussed setting a long-range goal of trying to reach a degree of adequacy on 85 percent of the bridges, and that none would be structurally deficient. It would be recognized that there would always be some that would be functionally obsolete. The Committee believes this goal could be reached by the year 2015. She stated the Committee also discussed the closure of the Myers Road Bridge, and said the situation needs to be revisited. She reported the Committee will be considering a contract for baggage carts at the Airport at the meeting on November 15 at 8 a.m. RESOLUTION NO. 252 - AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE COUNTY OF TOMPKINS AND TOWNS AND VILLAGES FOR WORK PERFORMED IN RIGHT- OF-WAY It was MOVED by Ms. Blanchard, seconded by Mr. Todd, and unanimously adopted by voice vote.

He submitted two items for Board members to review: local listing of businesses in Tompkins County that belong to the Finger Lakes Association and a sampling of the publicity generated on the Finger Lakes Region. He recommended the Board fund the Finger Lakes Association at the 1984 level and not follow the advise of the Advisory Board on Tourism Development to fund the Convention and Visitor's Bureau and the new organization called the "Five Lakes". Paul Steiger, State Street, first complimented the Board for recommending a zero percent property tax increase. However, he understands that it was the result of windfalls and mandate relief and not a result of major cost containment programs. He compared Tompkins County with three other counties in New York State: Dutchess County had in 1995 a property tax decrease of eight percent and a two percent decrease this year; Livingston County had in 1995 a property tax decrease of two percent; and Ontario County has not had a property tax increase in several years and does not anticipate any. He noted there appeared to be several common areas with these counties: they restructured to bring about improved efficiency, downsized; consolidated units; ousted functions that do not belong with the counties; and took steps to control employee health care costs. He stated that two years ago the County Tax Committee recommended that changes be made in the plan design of health insurance that would bring about savings in the amount of $.25 Million. However, the County spent several thousands dollars last year for a study done by Mercer that came up with the same recommendations. He said the real estate prices are dropping in the County while rising nationally, and there is a level sales tax revenue 333 November 15, 1995 while rising statewide. He urged the Board to address the macro issues that will bring about favorable cost reductions. He also encouraged municipal cooperation. David Pelletier, Chair of the Budget Reorganization Advisory Committee (BRAC), said BRAC was formed two years ago with the following charges: 1) work with task forces set up by the Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee to improve the administrative and technical aspects of the budget preparation to provide better educational tools in which the Board could make decisions about the budget; and 2) provide a means to look at ways of getting better public participation. He said it is BRAC's view that public information is the critical missing link. He said the other administrative changes and reorganizational changes can be done by the Board and administrators. He feels what is difficult to do, however, is prioritize setting for long-range planning. He said the views of the public should be brought into that discussion and there should be dialogue. He said BRAC tried to create that opportunity for discussion. He feels it is important to have a systematic process for public discussion between the Board and their constituents on an ongoing basis. BRAC held meetings in three locations throughout the County this year. He highlighted the discussions at the meetings and noted they were in priority order: jobs and education were number one and two in each of the three sites. He said transportation and roads were given low priority. He said this conflicts and is inconsistent with the Rural Affairs Committee outreach version to find out what was important to towns. He said the results of these surveys is who you ask and how you ask. He feels BRAC and Rural Affairs could benefit by looking at the combination of people and process to generate the results that would be useful to the Board. He said after polling the Board about ideas they wish to put before the public, four issues were presented to the public and reminded the Board this was done only at one meeting. He brought to the Board's attention a handout entitled "Critical Budget Issues: Broad Themes from Participants" which lists the following issues: 1) DSS Re -location; 2) County Employee Benefits; 3) Backfilling State and Federal Cuts; 4) Fund Balance; 5) County Library and the Internet; and 6) Solid Waste Annual Fee. A recommendation that BRAC will be making to the Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee is the County contract with an existing community organization that has professional capabilities in this area to set up regular forums between elected officials and the public. The following letter dated November 15, 1995 was submitted for the record from Elsie Freeman Finch, Trustee, Tompkins County Public Library: "On behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Tompkins County Public Library, I want to thank you for your positive attention to the Library's 1996 budget. As you know, we have begun to implement our strategic plan, completed in October. As well as maintaining the physical plant, staff and current programs of the library, 1996 funds will be used to advance that plan, which includes, among other goals, new programs for children and young adults, new outreach initiatives to the community, and the establishment of new technologies to make wide access to information available to all residents, whatever their means. We believe that public libraries are one of the most efficient and economical forms of public education available to us, and we look forward to working with you in 1996 to improve the direction and the services of the Tompkins County Public Library." No one else wished to speak and the public hearing was closed at 7:43 p.m. 334 November 21, 1995 Regular Meeting Public Hearing - Local Law No. f of 1995 Chairman Stein called the public hearing to order at 5:30 p.m. concerning proposed Local Law No. f of 1995 - Amendment to the Charter and Code - Article 4 - Division of Assessment - to Eliminate the Separate Assessment Rolls for Villages and the Corresponding Boards of Assessment Review and Grievance Days. Chairman Stein asked if anyone wished to speak. Ms. Kiefer, District No. 10 Representative, stated Ronald Anderson, Village of Cayuga Heights Mayor, is unable to attend this public hearing and asked her to speak on his behalf. She reiterated the importance to the Village of Cayuga Heights of having a delay in the implementation of this law until January 2, 1996, to make absolutely certain that the assessment roll as of the first of the year is drawn up for villages this year so that what is viewed as a substantial increase in the assessed value in Cayuga Heights will be included in the Village assessment roll in 1996 so that they can use it for tax purposes in the coming year. She said the only other change she suggested in the local law deals with having village clerks still post notices of the existence of tentative and final assessment rolls. She stated in general the Village of Cayuga Heights supports the elimination of the separate village grievance days, they are just concerned that this not take effect until January 2, 1996. No one else wished to speak and the public hearing was closed at 5:35 p.m. [A second public hearing was held and Local Law No. 2 of 1996 adopted.] Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag and Roll Call of Members Members and guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. Present: 14 Representatives; Excused: 1 (Representative Lerner arrived at 6:52 p.m. prior to action on Resolution No. 275 - Appropriation From Contingent Fund - Terminal Pay - Sheriff's Department). Approval of Minutes of November 9, 1995 This item was forwarded to the end of the agenda. Privilege of the Floor by the Public Chairman Stein stated discussion on the proposed 1996 Tompkins County Budget will begin at 7 p.m. this evening, and anyone that did not have an opportunity to speak at the November 14 public hearing will be given another opportunity to do so. Bob Skates, 402 Winston Court, Ithaca, and Human Rights Commission member, spoke concerning the proposal to move human services agencies to downtown Ithaca. Mr. Skates said the Human Rights Commission is in favor of this for three reasons: a downtown site is the best location within the County and a crucial factor in serving those using services provided by the Department of Social Services, providing a safety net and other social services for the poor and others in need is a human rights issue, the site should allow recipients to avail themselves to such services in the most accessible manner; the present site remains questionable due to continual illnesses of employees, and it is not clear if any rehabilitation of that building would change the situation; and a downtown site would 335 November 21, 1995 also be the most sensible location for employees as they would contribute towards revitalization of the downtown area. Laurence Stevens, Lake Street, Ithaca, spoke concerning the proposal to move the Department of Social Services to downtown Ithaca. Mr. Stevens believes if there is something wrong with the Biggs building, in order to minimize the cost to taxpayers, the building should be repaired. Mr. Stevens stated if services are needed downtown, then the County should consider having a satellite office downtown. Privilege of the Floor by Members of the Board Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Representative, spoke concerning the American Flag in the Board Room. He asked that an effort be made to display the flag more prominently in the room. Addition of Resolution(s) to the Agenda On motion of the appropriate committee chairman and duly seconded, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by members present, the following resolution was added to the agenda.

He stated one of the comments made by the Town of Dryden taxpayer was that his taxes on a very large parcel for County purposes were $45 eleven years ago, and are now many times that amount. Mr. Heyman said that highlights the confusion in taxpayers minds when towns elect to use their sales tax revenues as a credit against County taxes. He said four towns have gone through this transition and the Town of Ulysses is currently in the process of doing this. He said he will be working with the Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee to prepare a graph to show the consequences of this and to help Board members respond to their constituents. Chairman Stein asked Mr. Heyman to prepare a written statement for the Ithaca Journal. He said he has already discussed this with Mr. Lerner. Report from the County Attorney Mr. Theisen reported on recent statements in the press concerning the alleged high cost of attorneys the County hires for the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act). He stated the County pays a usual fee of $145 an hour which is not out of line. He said these lawyers use their paralegals whenever possible at a rate of $50 per hour. He said the average cost for using those lawyers and their paralegals averages $110/hr. Mr. Theisen said these lawyers were retained because of the nature of the Biggs A employees' lawsuits against the County amounting to $800 million. Report from the Finance Director Mr. Squires reported this week the County closed on some of the largest foreclosure auction parcels in several years. He said all back taxes were recovered. Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Planning, Community Development and Education Committee Mrs. Schuler, Chair, reported the Committee met two times since the last Board meeting. The Committee took an enjoyable tour of the Ulysses and Newfield rural libraries. She encouraged the entire Board to visit the rural libraries.

MINUTES APPROVED. Proclamation Chairman Stein declared December 9 and December 10, 1995, as Human Rights Days in Tompkins County and presented the proclamation to Theda Zimrot, Director of Human Rights. Ms. Zimrot thanked the Board for their continued support for human rights activities and urged people to attend the annual awards event Saturday evening at 6:30 p.m. at the Beverly Martin School. Special Orders of the Day Chairman Stein said the Tompkins Cortland Community College Master Plan presentation would be given later this evening. Privilege of the Floor by the Public Bill Holtkamp, 1591 Taughannock Boulevard, Trumansburg, spoke in support of the room tax law to establish the Convention and Visitor's Bureau that was adopted in the early 1980's and the local 526 December 5, 1995 effort for tourism promotion. However, he also supports the Finger Lakes Association (FLA) and the concept of regional tourism promotion of all fourteen counties. He said he is saddened that the Board only funded $2,500 for the FLA. He feels the vote was based on either or both erroneous and incomplete information. Allen Fusco, President of the Finger Lakes Association (FLA), said he intended to attend the November 21 meeting but was unable to. He spoke about the letter that indicated the funding for $2,500 from Tompkins County and comments concerning the substantial changes in management structure and the direction of FLA and accountability. He said the management of FLA is to promote the finger lakes region. He referred to magazine articles in the packet of material the Board received that pertain directly to Tompkins County. He said over the last several years, Tompkins County has received about 12 percent of the general revenue generated in the Finger Lakes Region for the regional advertising campaign. In 1993, it was estimated that Tompkins County received $1.9 Million from the advertising program. He listed material the FLA has sent to Tompkins County in the past and said the Comptroller of Tompkins County visited the FLA office and performed an examination that accounted for the expenditures and found that FLA was in compliance. He said FLA will be glad to answer any questions. He also described what the FLA does. He also feels Tompkins County did not have all the necessary information before making a decision on the funding level. Chairman Stein said the packet of material received would be reviewed thoroughly. Paul Steiger, 935 East State Street, spoke about the human services office building relocation. He feels the public should be well informed of the cost of any option that will cost up to four percent increase in property taxes over a 25 -year period. He reported on various statements made by the media comparing the cost of constructing a new building and renovating Biggs A, which he does not believe to be true on a per square -foot -basis. He feels Biggs as an option was prematurely dismissed. He said the figure needed is the cost per usable square foot when making the decision. Reuben Weiner, 390 Lower Creek Road, Ithaca, spoke in favor of the human services offices move to downtown and said it his opinion that the best use for the State Street and Plain Street area is new businesses and stores. He feels the loitering and ongoing crime problems must be cleaned up first with adequate police activity. City and County taxpayers should be benefited with ample area for ground -level parking not another parking garage and a convenient bus service. He said there are other areas that have not been looked at as an option, such as the Carpenter Business Park and Southwest Park, etc. He does not feel the Board has weighed all the sites adequately, and urged the Board to table this for further discussions, considerations, and recommendations by the City and County planners. James Burns, 207 Cayuga Heights Road, spoke as a member of the Downtown Revitalization Leadership Committee. It is a group that spun out of the downtown revitalization task force three or four years ago which consisted of about 75 community members. The group is looking at how best to have a healthy center of the community specifically in the downtown area of Ithaca. Some of the group's recommendations include a business improvement district and to get the West State Street corridor revitalized as a better center for business, commerce, entertainment and residents. He said the committee feels very strongly that if the human services office building is moved, that the West State Street site is the location. He referred to a letter he sent to the Board and encouraged the Board to read it and to consider the points that were in the Ithaca Journal editorial yesterday. Susan Blumenthal, Chair of the Downtown Revitalization Leadership Committee and Common Council person elect, encouraged the Board to support the project of moving the human services office building to, the West State Street location. She extended an invitation on behalf of Tracy Farrell, a member of the Washington Park Civic Association, to meet with anyone about concerns with parking and 527 December 5, 1995 safety issues in the neighborhood. There will also be a meeting on December 12 at 7:30 a.m. of the Westend Breakfast Club that County employees are welcome to attend. Privilege of the Floor by Board Members Barbara Blanchard, District No. 1 Representative, responded to Mr. Weiner's comments under privilege of the floor. She feels that what was said about West State Street was true two years ago. However, she said her office is located there and through efforts of the Ithaca Police Department, the County supported Economic Opportunity Corporation and other organizations, including residents, the West State Street corridor is coming back. It is a place you feel safe and a place that needs more company on the street. Special Orders of the Day Presentation on the Tompkins Cortland Community College Master Plan Mr. Haynes, President of Tompkins Cortland Community College, gave the Board an update on the capital projects at the college and said the projects are going very well. He said the bidding process was broken down into seven major contracts resulting in several hundred thousand dollar savings in fees. He distributed copies of the summary of costs for each project and said some of the projects that were deferred may be done any way. He reported the road project was completed but the water project is a little behind schedule. Phil Donahue, Buildings and Grounds Director, said the College's first project was the road and parking lots. The bids for that project were opened in July and the project was completed in September. He updated the Board on the water tank project, and said he hopes to fill the tank over the December break. The fitness center and expanded art area is 80 percent complete for the general construction, electrical 33 percent complete, and plumbing is 36 percent complete. The roof project will commence next summer. Mr. Haynes also reported on statements in the media about downsizing. He said that there are two pots of money. The planning process for the capital projects started three years ago and that this is set aside and cannot be used for operating purposes. Addition of Resolution(s) to the Agenda No resolutions were added to the agenda. Withdrawal of Resolution(s) from the Agenda Chairman Stein gave the appropriate committee chairmen permission to withdraw the following resolutions from the agenda: Agreement with NYSEG Corporation for Furnishing Street Lighting Service for Brown Road, Village of Lansing Authorizing a Public Hearing on Proposed Local Law No. h of 1995 - Rescission of Administrative Manual Policy 01-29 and Local Law No. 2 of 1970, as Amended - Establishing Standards of Conduct for Officers and Employees of the County of Tompkins and Adopting Revised Code of Ethics Authorizing a Public Hearing on Proposed Local Law No. f of 1995 - Amendment to the Charter and Code, Article 4 - Division of Assessment - to Eliminate the Separate Assessment Rolls for Villages and the Corresponding Boards of Assessment Review and Grievance Days 528 December 5, 1995 Amending the Rules of the Board of Representatives Resolution No. 269 - Adoption of Local Law No. f of 1995 - Amendment to the Charter and Code, Article 4 - Division of Assessment - to Eliminate the Separate Assessment Rolls for Villages and the Corresponding Boards of Assessment Review and Grievance Days (adopted as Local Law No. 2 of 1996) Mrs. Livesay, Chair of Governmental Affairs Committee, said she will be taking Local Law No. f of 1995 back to committee to review the changes submitted, and will put forth a recommendation to the full Board. Withdrawal of Resolution(s) Not Requiring Board Action from the Agenda Chairman Stein gave the appropriate committee chairman permission to withdraw from the agenda the following resolution with final committee action being affirmed: CA057-95 - Budget Adjustment - Airport Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Human Services Space Committee RESOLUTION NO. 285 - DESIGNATING THE BIGGS CENTER FOR DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A HUMAN SERVICES OFFICE BUILDING MOVED by Mr. Winch, seconded by Mr. Todd. Mr. Winch said he introduced the resolution at the Human Services Space Committee which lost 1-3. He gave a brief history of the resolution and is in favor of the Biggs Center being the health and human services campus for Tompkins County. Mr. Evans, District No. 13 Representative, said he thinks the process has been going too fast. He is willing to support building a building downtown; however, he feels it would be a lot cheaper to build at Biggs. He also said he has been concerned over the years by the slow and continual deterioration of the City. After talking to several people he respects, he feels it is in the best interest of the County and City to build the building downtown. Mr. Meskill, District No. 15 Representative, said in making his decision, he based it on past County practices and the consequences both in terms of cost and delivery of service. He spoke about the resolution the Board passed unanimously last spring that money would not be spent on rebuilding an old inefficient building. He reminded the Board of the mistake of building the Public Safety Building away from the County seat and feels it would also be the same mistake if the human services building were built at the Biggs complex. He said it would be convenient having Probation employees near County and City Court and Department of Social Services employees centrally located for a more efficient service. Other employee efficiencies to be recognized are having a majority of County offices centrally located. He also feels the Board should continue it efforts to sell Biggs A and unneeded land parcels in the Biggs A area so that the money can be reinvested appropriately. Mr. Lane, District No. 14 Representative, said that he has looked at this issue as a geographical question. He read the legal definition of a County seat -- the principle town of city of a county, where county business is transacted, county records are kept, and most county buildings are located. He noted that the City of Ithaca is the geographic center of the County. He also described why Biggs was created. He feels there is better access to the City for all the residents of Tompkins County, employees, and clients and that there would be savings in transportation both for clients and employees. He also feels the people in his district would be better served with a central location. 529 December 5, 1995 Mr. Lerner, District No. 2 Representative, said the proposed location is in his district and strongly supports a downtown site. He also feels a central location is more accessible and beneficial for clients and employees and having County buildings closer together is an asset. Mr. Todd, District No. 6 Representative, said he has heard a number of comments about accessibility to Biggs, but stated that he has never heard any complaints. He spoke in support of delaying this decision for 90 days. He does not believe the Biggs site has been given a fair look at the advantages. The County owns the site, the site is vacant, and there is room for parking. He said the sites downtown which have continually changed will require purchase, demolition, and environmental remediation. He feels there has been a good level of services delivered at the Biggs site. Mr. Joseph, District No. 12 Representative, said the problem of travel back and forth has been mentioned. He said it is not the expense, but the amount of travel time on salary. He spoke about some of the agencies he worked with that furnished bus tokens for clients. He also spoke about the clients that had difficulty getting there. He said another advantage of moving the human services building downtown is the use of computers and networks. There would be an opportunity to connect offices through a fiber optic network downtown which would be less expensive downtown than up at Biggs. Finally, he spoke about the economic development aspects of this and that the City is eager for the County to do this. Mrs. Schuler, District No. 4 Representative, stated that this is not a novel idea, the Department of Social Services was downtown before. Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Representative, feels there has not been adequate time to review all the material on the proposed move of the human services office building. He spoke briefly about the history of the move 10 years ago, and also stated that it only takes ten minutes to travel from downtown to Biggs with no traffic and that there are no retail services at Biggs which will result in the City's economic development improving. He listed some of the problems he has with the process: why the rush, there is no state funding involved, no grants, the need has not been established, caseloads are decreasing, and the space and dollar comparison. Other concerns he expressed are the uncertainty of the state and federal budgets and new City administration. He said he will be moving for a 90 day delay to work with the new City administration. Ms. Mink, District No. 5 Representative, explained the resolution she will be putting forth pin- points a downtown location but leaves a lot of things open. A site on State and Plain Street is the best location, the building will be more simpler and urban, the County will do its own parking and control operating costs, continue to have memorandum of understanding with the City, and change a decision that was made 10 years ago to the better in her opinion.

Mr. Lerner stated adoption of this policy concludes the budget reorganization process, and thanked the many volunteers who contributed their time to this effort. He stated suggested wording changes by Representative Kiefer have been included in the revised version placed on Board members' desks. It was MOVED by Mr. Proto, seconded by Mr. Todd, to amend Section 5.06 - Reappropriation (Carryover or Rollover) of Unspent Funds from previous 546 December 19, 1995 Years), to change the sentence that now reads: "County department heads are authorized to request reappropriation of unspent funds from the previous year " to read "County depaitment heads are authorized to request reappropriation of up to 75 percent of unspent funds from the previous year "; and to also add the following sentence to the end of the second paragraph in Section 5.06 "Until the uncertainty of receipt of monies both federal and New York State is resolved the County wishes to proceed cautiously retaining some monies to address those uncertainties." Discussion on the amendment followed. Mr. Lerner expressed opposition to this amendment, and stated what the Committee did was develop alternative mechanisms for exercising budgetary constraints. He said the existing policy says all requests would come to the Board for approval. Mr. Proto stated this is not a reflection of the budgeting of department heads, the intention is to have a reserve. A roll call vote on the amendment resulted as follows: Ayes - 9 (Representatives Blanchard, Evans, Kiefer, Lane, Meskill, Proto, Schuler, Todd and Winch); Noes - 5 (Representatives Joseph, Lerner, Livesay, Mink, and Stein); Excused - 1 (Representative Totman). AMENDMENT CARRIED. Mr. Heyman, County Administrator, stated this amendment will be taken very badly by the department heads who are charged with being efficient in supporting services for people of this County, and this type of amendment being adopted without any prior discussion will be seen as very bad faith. Ms. Livesay stated this amendment lost in Committee, and stated she shares comments made by Mr. Heyman. Ms. Kiefer offered several small amendments that were accepted as friendly; she also referred to Section 3.06 Cost Savers, B. Criteria, No. 6, and asked if BRAC or the Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee could in the future consider broadening the definition of "cost saver" to include something that saves County residents money, not just in terms of County taxes -- such as the recycling program. Mr. Heyman urged the Board to table or defeat this resolution so that the amendment that was just adopted could be considered properly. It was MOVED by Ms. Mink, seconded by Mrs. Livesay, to Table this resolution. A roll call vote on tabling this resolution resulted as follows: Ayes - 6 (Representatives Evans, Joseph, Lerner, Livesay, Mink, and Stein); Noes - 8 (Representatives Blanchard, Lane, Kiefer, Meskill, Proto, Schuler, Todd and Winch); Excused - 1 (Representative Totman). MOTION TO TABLE FAILED. Ms. Kiefer stated this is a way of answering concerns of this Board for contingency fund depletion. Mr. Lerner noted in every other context the principal behind this policy has been that departments may ask for what they like and it is up to the Board to say yes or no. The amendment that has been adopted prevents depaitments from asking for what they need and is totally inconsistent with the remainder of the policy. Ms. Kiefer stated there is a less negative way for department heads to view this policy change: This is a way of answering concerns of this Board over contingency fund depletion. A roll call vote on the resolution as amended resulted as follows: Ayes - 10 (Representatives Blanchard, Evans, Kiefer, Lane, Lerner, Meskill, Mink, Proto, Stein, and Todd); Noes - 4 (Representatives Joseph, Livesay, Schuler, and Winch); Excused - 1 (Representative Totman).

SEQR ACTION: TYPE II -15 ATTACHMENT A TOMPKINS COUNTY ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY It is in the best interest of the people of Tompkins County that the Tompkins County Board of Representatives develops and maintains a clear vision of the County's environmental character. Residents of Tompkins County enjoy a high quality of life, and one of the principal contributors is our healthy and beautiful natural environment. A robust natural environment adds to the well-being of both the citizens and the flora and fauna, and contributes to the economic prosperity of the County. A shared vision of what most people want for the natural environment will help preserve for future generations a community full of diversity and beauty. Therefore, it shall be the policy of Tompkins County to contribute to our high quality of life assuring that: Tompkins County remains beautiful. Scenic vistas and pretty scenes inspire respect for the environment, stimulate tourists to visit and revisit, and contribute to a high quality of life for all residents. Tompkins County residents enjoy a clean, safe environment. Clean water and air, protected soil, and appropriate land use, as determined by the local municipality, are necessary to maintain a high quality of life. A clean environment may be a rarity in the 21st century, and investments now will assure Tompkins County's reputation as a wonderful place to live and work. Tompkins County farms continue to help feed us. Residents value the locally produced high quality fresh food and other agricultural products, and open spaces that farms provide. Farmers should be protected from development pressures and assisted in meeting environmental standards. Tompkins County retains its biodiversity. The natural world needs a complex web of species to be healthy. The life-saving and life -improving chemical compounds of the future may well come from the natural world we protect today. 553 December 19, 1995 Tompkins County residents are able to enjoy the outdoors. Residents want and need a variety of convenient and safe modes of access to school, work, shopping and recreation. Residents need access to the natural world to refresh our minds and keep our bodies healthy. Tompkins County residents actively participate in the public decision-making process. There should be an on-going process that involves citizens of Tompkins County in environmental decision- making. With our citizens, elected officials, and advisory committees and private organizations working together, we can provide for future generations the same quality of nature that we find so essential in our lives today.

WHEREAS, it is in the best interest of Tompkins County to protect itself from environmental liability associated with properties by determining the potential for such liability prior to land acquisitions; and WHEREAS, as of January 1, 1995, the New York State Real Property Tax Law permits Counties to refuse to take title to any property that is subject to foreclosure if the property poses a significant environmental liability to the County; and WHEREAS, it is in the best interest of the residents of Tompkins County to ensure that the County Board has knowledge of significant natural resources on lands in order to make informed decisions regarding acquisition, sale, or lease of such land; and WHEREAS, current County policy regarding land sales and acquisitions does not address these liability and information concerns; now therefore be it RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Health and Environmental Quality, the Planning, Community Development and Education, and the Governmental Affairs Committees, That Resolution No. 4 of 1993 (dated January 5, 1993) is hereby rescinded, 556 December 19, 1995 RESOLVED, further, That before the County takes title to a property, the following steps will be followed: 1. The County Administrator shall order an investigation of the property to determine whether there is a significant risk that the County might be exposed to a liability if it should acquire the parcel. The investigation shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, a visit to the site and a determination of what, if any, further investigation is appropriate. 2. Upon the completion of said investigation the County Attorney and the County Administrator shall determine a course of action, which may include further investigation or, in appropriate cases, a decision on whether or not to recommend to the Board of Representatives that the County not take title to the property. The Director of Finance is authorized to pay for said investigation, and for other expenses for acquisition or sale, on approval of the County Attorney and the County Administrator, from the appropriate account. RESOLVED, further, That prior to the County voluntarily selling or leasing any real property the following steps will be followed: 1. The County Administrator shall request that the Planning Department determine the existence and significance of natural, cultural and/or historic features on the property and identify significant concerns regarding zoning and local/regional strategic land -use plans. The Planning Department shall request the assistance of advisory boards as necessary; and 2. If the County Planning Department recommends that the Board of Representatives consider taking action other than selling or leasing the property it shall prepare a report that describes the findings of its research and recommends to the appropriate committee of the Board of Representatives a course of action. Any such property shall be withheld from sale or lease pending action by the County Board. 3. All such sales shall, when required by law, comply with County Law Section 215, Local Law No. 3 of 1981, and all applicable provisions of law. RESOLVED, further, That in addition to the above Resolves, prior to the voluntary sale of properties that the County has obtained by foreclosure these additional steps shall be followed: 1. The County Administrator shall be responsible for seeing that an approximate market value for each property is determined. 2. The County Administrator shall determine which properties to sell by auction, which through a real estate broker, and which through sealed bids. Properties sold at auction or through sealed bid shall be sold to the highest bidder so long as, in the judgment of the County Administrator, the amount received by the County is reasonable in relationship to the market value of the property. Properties sold through a real estate broker shall be sold to the person making the highest offer so long as, in the judgment of the County Administrator, the amount received by the County is reasonable in relationship to the market value of the property. 3. The County Finance Director shall publicize the sale widely and make efforts to notify appropriate local groups of lands that may be of interest to them. 4. Whenever a foreclosed property (with no more than four living units) is occupied by the former owner/taxpayer, the County Administrator shall make every reasonable effort to make an arrangement with owner/taxpayer to repay back taxes, penalties, interest, expenses, and fees. The property shall be withheld from the sale only when all the following circumstances exist: a) A written agreement has been signed by the former owner/taxpayer or legal representative that commits to a date certain when all back taxes, penalties, interest, expenses, and administrative fees will be paid. These shall include payments equal to the amount of taxes and penalty that would have been incurred had the former owner continued to own the property. b) The County Attorney concurs that it is reasonable to believe that the former owner/taxpayer will be able to live up to the terms of the Agreement. 557 December 19, 1995 c) Said written agreement includes a lease effective through the date certain above that holds Tompkins County harmless from all liability. 5. Provided that all other provisions of this policy are followed, the County Administrator can bring recommendations regarding sales directly to the Board of Representatives without the approval of any committees. RESOLVED, further, That, starting in 1996, the County Administrator shall maintain a complete list of County owned lands. The list shall contain pertinent historic and current information on property location, size, natural resources, any available information regarding zoning compliance based on local and regional land use plans and a description of the strategic value of the land to Tompkins County, RESOLVED, further, That annually the Planning Department in cooperation with the County Administrator and the Public Works Department shall review all County land holdings as of January 1st, and shall report at least once every three years to the appropriate Board committee on their strategic value to the County. This report shall also make recommendations for appropriate changes in County land holdings, RESOLVED, further, That when, in the opinion of the County Administrator, circumstances require speedy action precluding the normal review process, the County Administrator is authorized to bring resolutions directly to the Board of Representatives by requesting the chair of the appropriate committee to place on a Board agenda a Resolution authorizing the County to purchase, lease or convey real property, RESOLVED, further, That the County Attorney shall ensure that the requirements of all Federal, State, and Local Laws are followed with respect to the purchase, lease, and sale of real property.
