the Board of Managers, in which he requested that the responsibility to
run the hospital be placed in the managing body At the request of
Chairman Bower, County Attorney Williamson rendered the following
legal opinion
14 January 13, 1969
"As you know, Section 128 of the General Municipal Law, gave the
power to the Board of Managers to fix the salary of the employee "within
the limits of the appropriation made by the governing board" In addi-
tion, Section 129 of the General Municipal Law, gave the power to the
Supei mtendent of the Hospital to hire and fire employees
The Taylor law has modified these two sections to the extent that all
employees of the County were represented by, and will be, of course, rep-
resented by a union or several unions Through negotiation with the
union or unions, the County has set, and will in the future set, salaries
each year
In negotiating with the union, each position is put into a classification
with a minimum and maximum salary The Administrator of the Hos-
pital, it being a branch of the County, must hire in accordance with the
rules established between the union and the County In other words,
employees must be hired at the hiring salary, unless of course, they can
show the supervisors that past experience indicates that they should be
paid a higher compensation This must come through the Board of
Supervisors Civil Service and Salaries Committee since the Board of
Supeivisors, under County Law Section 205, must fix the salaries of all
employees of the County and any deviation from the salaries to be paid
any employee must receive the committee's approval "
Mi Culligan noted, in his opinion, the health committee should be
bypassed on personnel pioblems and the Managers should go direct to
the Civil Service and Salaries Committee
Mi Kerr, Library, invited the Board to the ribbon -cutting ceremonies
to be held February 3rcl with the formal opening to be in April during
National Library week
Mr Leary, Buildings and Grounds, reported a boiler breakdown last
week which had been temporarily repaired but urged consideration be
given in the Spring to installation of a new heating system which would
serve the Cour t House, Jail and Old Court House Also, he noted renova-
tion of the jail had not begun as yet
Speaking on the negotiations with Ithaca College officials concerning
the pui chase of their property on Buffalo Street, he anticipated negotia-
tions would be concluded in the near future with a firm figure, and he
would have a report at the next meeting
Jerome True expressed his appreciation for having the honor and
privilege of representing the County at the formal dinner held at the
Waldorf-Astoria in honor of the Apollo 8 Astronauts This was the first
State Dinner held in over twenty-two years and was attended by numer-
ous government officials and celebrities The presentation of the three
January 13, 1969 15
typewriters, donated by Smith -Corona Mai chant Corporation to the
County, as a tribute to the Astionauts, was not formally made at the
dinner but presented later to the wives of the three Astronauts
Mr Graves, Legislative, scheduled a meeting for Thursday, January
16 at 7 30 p m to review proposed legislation and requested the Super-
visors notify the Clerk of any desired action they wanted considered
Under privilege of the floor, members of the Hospital Board of Man-
agers and several of the Medical Staff were present and introduced by
Mr Murray, President of the Board of Managers Drs Besancon and
Dougan spoke in detail on the classification problem of the x-ray techni-
cians who because of this and salary were threatening to resign their
positions which would mean the curtailment of x-ray services At the
present time, they stated, services of the department are limited to
emergency cases only Dr Dougan distributed gradation facts compiled by
him which included a proposed x-ray classification, as compared to the
present classification
Present
Grade 13 — $7,584 — $9,480
Grade 9 — 5,616 — 7,020 $3 00 hr
Proposed
Grade 13 — Chief $7,584 — $9,480
Grade 12 — Asst Chief 7,008 — 8,760
Grade ll — Senior 6,480 — 8,100
Grade 10 — X-ray Tech A — 6,000 — 7,500
Grade 9 — X-ray Tech B — 5,616 — 7,020
He stressed they were not trying to satisfy longevity, the problem is
the different capabilities of the employees
After approximately an hour of discussion during which Drs
Humphrey and Kilgore spoke in behalf of the employees and concern
for this serious curtailment of services, Mr Abbott related the process
of classification step-by-step and noted the Civil Service and Salaries
Committee had already scheduled a meeting to review personnel prob-
lems with Mr Arnold, as well as several other department heads and
stated action would be taken to resolve these existing problems one way
or the other Dr Humphrey, President of the Medical Board, thanked
the Board for listening and especially thanked Mr Culligan for the
time he had devoted to this problem Mr Murray stated he felt the dif-
ference was in a lack of communications and the possibility employees
failed to fill out their job classification forms in detail
Mr Kerr stated he had not felt it necessary to invite the Library Board
of Trustees to appear before the Board to discuss their personnel prob-
lems and therefore hoped they would be justly considered at the Civil
16 January 13, 1969
Service and Salaries Committee meeting which, due to a Town Board
Meeting, he would be unable to attend
Mr Marcham spoke concerning the suggestion of Mr Culligan that
the health committee be bypassed in hospital personnel problems and
Chairman Bower stated this would be considered when the rules are
reviewed
Mr Marcham also sought the interest of the Board in scheduling one
Meeting of the Board as an evening meeting to allow more of the public
to attend if they wished The interest was nil due to the number of re-
quired night meetings for the majority of the members and no action
was taken on this proposal
Mr Lee asked the present status of the water report and Mr Abbott
stated a meeting of the Planning and Public Relations Committee and
County Water Committee was being scheduled for next week

acres to the Town of Groton

Mr Abbott, County Water Committee and Planning and Public Re-
lations, distributed to each supervisor the Water Committee's report
and recommendations on the county's water problem, to wit
"The Tompkins County Watet Committee feels it is desirable at this
time to report to you on its activities since it was appointed by the
Board (Resolution No 193, August 23, 1965) and to recommend cer-
tain steps which it considers appropriate for Board action
1 On January 20, 1966, following the review of proposals for a
comprehensive county water supply study submitted by five consulting
firms, the Committee recommended that Metcalf & Eddy, Boston, Massa-
chusetts, be named as the consultant to carry out the study
2 On May 5, 1966, the New York State Water Resources Commis-
sion approved an application which had been prepared by Metcalf &
Eddy for the Committee and directed to the New York State Department
of Health for funds to pay for a "Tompkins County Intermunicipal
Public Water Supply Study — PWS -39" On March 31, 1967, Metcalf &
Eddy signed a contract (CPWS-39) with the New York State Depart-
ment of Health to make comprehensive public water supply study of
Tompkins County
3 On March 29, 1968, Metcalf & Eddy submitted draft copies of its
"Comprehensive Water Supply Study of Tompkins County" to the Com-
mittee and the New York State Depat tment of Health The final report
was submitted in September 1968 and after a review, the New York State
Department of Health notified the Committee by letter, dated September
11, 1968, that the report was acceptable Both Metcalf & Eddy and the
New York State Department of Health have been informed in writing
that the Committee accepts some but not all of the report's recommen-
dations
4 The present position of the Committee may be summarized as
follows
January 27, 1969 21
a The data and other information presented in the report warrant
and support the conclusion that the water resources, developed and un-
developed, of Tompkins County are more than adequate to meet its
water requirements for the next fifty years However, some areas of the
County already face water supply problems and the County as a whole
will have them within the fifty year period, all of which indicates that
there is a "water supply problem "
b The Committee reaffirms its reservations regarding the methods
proposed for financing and administering the expanded water supply
facilities recommended in the report However, the Committee em-
phasizes the fact that the report contains much physical data and many
projections and engineering estimates which are essential, and contribute
much, to any solution of the County's water problems
c The Committee feels that additional extensive and thorough studies
are necessary before a commitment can be made either to accept or to
abandon Cayuga Lake as a prime source for water supply The Commit-
tee is of the opinion that its reluctance to accept the recommendation
of the report is in the public interest
d The implementation of a politically and financially integrated
County Water Agency would require much ground work and investiga-
tion before a decision could be made on the ideal type of such an entity
for this community
e The City of Ithaca has a problem in being the primary source of
water for a growing area outside of the city limits The growth factor
is actually two items an increase in area and a growth in population in
present areas The report assigns an area almost four times greater than
that served as of today Since this is an essential part of whatever com-
prehensive plan is adopted, it follows that some immediate steps must
be taken and these questions must be answered, who determines what
must be done to supply the 10 mgd suggested in the report as being
needed by 1975? — by whom and how shall it be financed? The Com-
mittee believes it necessary that sometime prior to 1975, there must be a
local decision and action on a larger or supplemental source prior to a
final decision to expand and supply the entire county The report indi-
cates that interim operation and planning is local responsibility and
the Committee recommends that County Board efforts be made to
secure local cooperation in the development of supplemental wells and
other items so that area needs can be supplied until at least 1975
Such action will buy time so that the new County Planning Depart-
ment can be identified with the project The Committee feels that a
final decision in regard to the ultimate source of supply for the Ithaca
area and to the degree to which the County should be involved can only
be made after the ideas, demands, ambitions and plans of the various
22 January 27, 1969
governmental units of the County have been solicited, discussed and
coordinated The Committee recommends that the County Planning
Director or a professional planner serving under his direction be charged
with carrying out this task in cooperation with the Planning and Public
Relations Committee of the Board of Supervisors The Committee offers
to be available at all times to advise and assist the planner and the
Board in this work
f The Committee will remain aleft to the possibility of a federally
assisted multi-purpose dam on an upland source which would not only
greatly improve the financial aspects, but is extremely desirable from
a water quality standpoint and every effort should be made to achieve
this solution The modest beginning described in (e) above which pro-
vides for interim operation until 1975 would allow us to explore
thoroughly the possibility of federal participation in the developing of
water supplies for Tompkins County
g Since the water problem is now common to the whole county in
varying degrees, it seems that the Board of Supervisors will have to pio-
vide leadership in implementing this development "
Discussion followed and Chairman Bower noted the need for the
proposed County planning depai tment to get underway as this problem
would be on their priority list Mr Abbott stated a resolution would be
forthcoming at the next meeting on this matter
Mr True, Insurance, commented his committee was exploring the
possibilities of rearranging the purchase of and payment for county
insurance under the new Charter and Code and would have recommen-
dations later in the year on this matter
Mr Graves, Legislative, scheduled a meeting of his committee for
February 6 at 7 30 p m to review proposed legislation Reporting on
the progress of the Citizen's Reapportionment Committee, he stated
their recommendation and findings will be mailed to each Supervisor
and to members of the Common Council on Tuesday Therefore, he re-
quested the Board adjourn this meeting to 10 30 a m , Monday, Febru-
ary 3rd, to allow the Board to informally discuss the Committee's report
with the members of the Citizen's Reapportionment Committee He
stressed to the members that this report is their findings and suggestions
and any member of the Board has a right to offer a different plan for
consideration
Mr Graves, as a member of the Highway Committee, briefly reported
on the Highway Superintendents' Association Meeting recently held in
Albany
January 27, 1969 23
Under privilege of the floor Dorothy Littlehale, associated with the
New York State and County Fair Association, spoke to the Board con-
cerning the lack of a permanent site for the Tompkins County Fair and
stated the important question was whether Tompkins County really
wanted a fair or not Miss Littlehale is preparing a brochure on County
Fairs to be distributed and requested the Chairman to refer her to a
pal ticular Committee to aid in the preparation of Tompkins County's
Fair Story After a brief discussion during which it was pointed out that
Tompkins County has many craft fairs as well as the well-known Tru-
mansburg Fair and perhaps due to the close proximity to the State Fair a
Tompkins County Booth there would suffice Chairman Bower referred
this matter to the Education and Planning and Public Relations Com-
mittees and thanked Miss Littlehale foi appeasing
Mr Cortright, under privilege of the floor, reported on a meeting
held January 22nd, with representatives from the City of Ithaca, Town
of Danby, Town of Spencer and the Village of Spencer, concerning the
critical situation that exists with refuse disposal He noted that proper-
ty suited for Sanitary Landfill, and available, of approximately 100
acres is situated adjacent to the present Town of Danby Dump, being
located just over the line in Tioga County Mr Cortright recommended
in view of the seriousness of this problem that a member from each
municipality work with the Health and Planning and Public Relations
Committees to effect a solution at the earliest possible date on this Sani-
tary Land Fill problem Chairman Bower concurred and referred this
matter to the above named Committees Later in the meeting Mr Ab-
bott, Planning and Public Relations, scheduled a meeting to further
discuss this problem for February 12th at 7 30 p m
Mr Marcham, under privilege of the floor, lead a prepared statement

space in the Court House, 3) the prune value of the land and 4) the
property is already tax exempt He assured the Board there were no con-
tingencies attached to the purchase and no determination had been
made as yet as to the use of the buildings or the cost of renovation How-
ever, in the committee's opinion, in two of the buildings repairs would
be mostly in painting and partitions, while the other buildings were
somewhat antiquated He noted the committees had worked diligently
to consumate this transaction and did not feel the county was making
a mistake Mr Marcham expressed his reservations as to the total reno-
vation costs, the financing and lack of exploring possible alternatives
Attorney Williamson will be woi king with Attorney Henry Shirey in
preparing the purchase contract

EXTRACT FROM THE MINUTES OF MEETING OF
THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
DECEMBER 2, 1968
At this time, Chairman Bower turned the meeting over to Mr Graves,
Chairman of the Legislative Committee, who in turn introduced the members
of the Citizens Committee on Reapportionment and requested Attorney Wil-
liamson to read and report on the guidelines as mailed to each supervisor and
committee member by him and the floor would be open to discussion and de-
cision by the Board on each guideline as outlined
Mr Williamson read the following guidelines as prepared by him after
researching the matter
1 Pursuant to the County Charter, boundary lines for County Repre-
sentative Districts should conform as nearly as possible to exist-
ing Municipal and Ward Boundaries.
The Board was in agreement with this guideline and there was no dis-
cussion
2. The Charter states that the latest legal census should be used.
Mr Williamson related the following research "We discussed this mat-
ter with the Office of Local Government and the Westchester County Attorney
who headed up a reapportionment plan for Westchester County It is the con-
sensus of opinion that since there is no recent census for the entire county
only the 1960 census should be used UNLESS, in those municipalities of
Tompkins County which have not had a census, it can be shown that the popu-
lation figures as of 1968 are approximately the same as they were in 1960
This could be done by investigation of the voting rolls in the various munici-
palities, comparing the 1960 with the 1968 registrations Using this method,
it might be feasible and subject to defense in the event of a lawsuit to use the
latest available census figures in the municipalities which have had a recent
census taken together with the 1960 figures of those municipalities which
have not had them "
A lengthy discussion followed this opinion and it was pointed out that the
only towns to have had a special census taken since 1960 were the towns of
Ithaca, Dryden, Lansing and Ulysses The other five towns and the city had
not had a special census taken
MOVED, by Mr Abbott, seconded by Mr Updike, That the reapportion-

"In the case of Honig vs Rensselaer County, Supreme Court Justice Kane
February 3, 1969 41
felt that nonresident students should not be included in any plan of Rensse-
laer No decision was rendered by the court The Attorney General's Office
concurred with the judge that nonresident students should not be included and
as a result of the plan to be presented to Rensselaer County nonresident stu-
dents are not included in the reapportionment plan See also the case of Davis
vs Clinton County which declared unconstitutional a reapportionment plan
because of the inclusion of Clinton State Prison and Dannemora State Hos-
pital inmates without investigation as to their actual residences "
A lengthy discussion followed in which Prof Hacker pointed out that
Cornell University by computer gave him the figure of 1500 students with
home address as Tompkins County out of 12,500 students In his opinion the
decision should be based on what are the consequence of a) total population
or b) over 21 or adult population as there is no census information on students,
only on age Prof Hacker stated the ratio of ' under 21" and "over 21"
balances between the city and towns
MOVED, by Mr Abbott, seconded by Mr True, That the reapportionment
committee use Adult Population Basis Discussion folowed and Mr Lee sug-
gested that perhaps we could stipulate "resident" adult Mr Graves stated he
had confidence in the reapportionment committee and if they could come up
with a better solution, the board would be glad to listen and that these guide-
lines were not binding but did lend authority Mr Graves called for a roll

February 3, 1969 43
(1) Pursuant to Section 2 05 of the Charter and Code of Tompkins County,
your Committee was appointed by the Board of Supervisors to formulate a
plan of reapportionment creating new Board of Representative districts for
the elections to be held in November of 1969 (See Documents I & II) Your
Committee held four meetings, on December 13, 1968, and January 10, 17,
and 24, 1969, all in executive session The plan of reapportionment sub-
rmtted herewith has the unanimous support of the entire Committee
(2) Membership. The membership of your Committee is as follows
Residence Party
Ruth DeWire Town of Ithaca Democrat
Andrew Hacker Ward IV, City of Ithaca Republican
Henry Heslop Town of Newfield Republican
John MacDonald Cayuga Heights Village Democrat
Arthur Stallman Ward V, City of Ithaca Republican
Thomas Todd Town of Dryden Republican
Arnold Tolles Ward VII, City of Ithaca Democrat
(3) Mr Hacker was elected chairman of the Committee at its first meeting
(4) Mr Thomas Hughes, Jr , on appointment of the Board of Supervisors,
was an observer of the Committee's proceedings and attended three of its
four meetings
(5) Four of the seven members — Messrs Hacker, MacDonald, Stallman,
and Tolles — served as members of a Citizen's Committee on Reapportionment
appointed by the Legislative Committee of the Board of Supervisors on June
14, 1965, and which submitted a report on February 28, 1966
(6) Aldermen Stallman and Tolles were appointed to that earlier com-
mittee by then Mayor Hunna Johns of the City of Ithaca While their appoint-
ment to the current Committee was made by the County Board of Supervisors,
they continue to serve as members of the Common Council of the City of Ithaca
(7) Guidelines. On December 2, 1968, the Board of Supervisors adopted
three guidelines for the advice and instruction of your Committee Members
of your Committee attended this meeting and participated in the deliberations
The minutes of that meeting are attached to this Report (See Document III)
These guidelines are as follows
(a) Boundary lines for County Representative Districts should con-
form as nearly as possible to existing Municipal and Ward boundaries
(b) The United States Census enumeration should be the statistical
base for reapportionment throughout the entire County
(c) The basis for reapportionment should be the Adult Population of
the County
(8) Your Committee, calls attention to the remark of the Chairman of the
Legislative Committee, as recorded in that meeting's minutes " he had
confidence in the Reapportionment Committee and if they could come up with
a better solution, the Board would be glad to listen These guidelines were not
binding, but did lend authority "
POPULATION BASE
(9) At all four of your Committee's meetings, considerable time was de-
voted to the question of the population -base to be used in its reapportionment
recommendations With all deference to the Board of Supervisor's guideline
calling for an Adult Population base, some members of the Committee de-
veloped concerns about the legality and propriety of employing such a pro-
cedure Our discussions considered the following arguments
(10) For Adult Population The 1960 Census enumerated a total of 66,164
persons as present in the County However of this number, 11,417 — or 17
per cent — were students registered at Cornell University and Ithaca College
**** Moreover, there is good reason to believe that the great majority of
44 February 3, 1969
these students have their permanent residences outside Tompkins County
For example, of the 12,472 students enrolled at Cornell University in September
of 1964, only 1558 — or 13 percent — gave a Tompkins County address as
their "home" address when registering at the University
**** These non-resident students are concentrated in certain portions of
the County Were they to be included in the population -base, then two or
even more of the Board of Representative Districts would have preponderantly
student populations Such Districts would, in consequence, contain proportion-
ately fewer permanent residents than the other Districts of the County, and
those residents who happened to live in the student Districts would in fact
be overrepresented on the Board of Representatives By using Adult Poula-
tion, it would be possible to create Districts having relatively equal numbers
of permanent residents of the County
**** A series of court decisions have held that non-residents need not be
counted in an apportionment plan These decisions have applied to counties
having prisons and mental hospitals in their midst However the courts have
ruled that reapportionment plans which eliminate non-residents must demon-
strate that those individuals dropped from the population -base are in fact non-
residents
(11) For Total Population. **** Many of the college and university stu-
dents present in the County — and this includes many who are under the age
of 21— no longer regard their parents' residence as their home They will not
be returning to that roof after their graduation, they are in a period of
residential transition, and during this transition, Tompkins County is their
home
**** Students are counted by the United States Census as being present
in Tompkins County rather than in their parents' counties If they are not
given representation of this County's Board of Representatives, then they will
not receive county representation anywhere
**** This County receives State Aid on the basis of its Total Population
enumeration, if we receive funds because these students are here, it is diffi-
cult to argue that they should not be included in the apportionment base
**** The use of an Adult Population base simply does not achieve the
goal of eliminating non-residents from the apportionment A court would
probably approve a plan wherein non-resident students were actually identi-
fied, located, and then eliminated But, this is an arduous and time-consuming
assignment which your Committee could not undertake at this time To carry
out such a project, it would be necessary to go through the Cornell University
and Ithaca College student directories, name by name, and identify each
student who listed a non -County home residence Following this, one would
have to locate and record the Tompkins County domiciles of all such stu-
dents on large maps, so that they could then be dropped from the Total
Population recorded on each block throughout the entire County (There are
over 300 such blocks in the City of Ithaca alone) Only in that way could
County Representative Districts be created which used only residents as their
base Such an effort is not necessary when all non-residents are locked up in
a few buildings, as is the case with prisons and mental hospitals But by no
means do all Cornell University and Ithaca College students live in dormitories
or fraternity houses, there are at least sprinklings of them in every corner
of the County
**** The simple removal of all persons under the age of 21 from the
apportionment base is an arbitrary step, and could well lead to judicial re-
jection of a reapportionment plan created on such a base
(12) Given the persuasive arguments for both the Adult Population and
the Total Population bases, your Committee's decision was to create County
Representative Districts which are approximately equal in size with respect to
both Adult and Total Population This was not so difficult for the Towns
However it presented a considerable challenge so far as the City of Ithaca is
concerned We believe that our goal has been attained in a manner which is
both equitable and reasonable
February 3,-1969 45
(13) For each of the Districts we have created, we have recorded both
the Adult and the Total Populations contained therein It is our strong
recommendation that the Total Populations be considered the "official"
figures We recommend this step because of our feeling that the Adult Popu-
lation base may be of doubtful legality
(14) Deviations from the "Ideal" Section 2 06 of the County Charter and
Code requires that a plan of reapportionment shall provide "equality of
representation consistent with the policies of the State Legislature as inter-
preted by the Courts and appropriate jurisdiction " (See Document I) An
"ideal" district for the Board of Representatives would contain a Total Popu-
lation of 4135 or an Adult Population of 2399 These "ideals" are arrived at
by dividing the Total and Adult Populations of the entire County by 16, the
number of Districts to be created for the Board of Representatives (See
Table II) The requirement of "equality of representation" does not of
course demand perfect equality For one thing, this is not possible given the
United States Census data available for the County And in light of other
factors your Committee was mandated to consider, deviations from the "ideal"
were bound to occur The districts we recommend range from 4830 down to
3537 using the Total Population base, and from 2830 down to 1965 using the
Adult Population base The percentage deviations range from 17 per cent
above the "ideal" to 14 per cent below for Total Population, and from 18 per
cent above to 18 per cent below for Adult Population There are no `official"
percentages of permissible deviation, such decisions are made on a case-by-
case basis by courts Considering the peculiar conditions of this County, your
Committee believes that the deviations we have permitted are not violative of
the principle of "equality of representation "
THE TOWNS
(15) Groton, Ulysses, Lansing. We recommend that the Towns of Groton,
Ulysses, and Lansing each be made into a County Representative District and
that each be assigned a single County Representative The Total and Adult
populations for these Districts are recorded on Map I and Table II, and
their deviations from the County "ideal" are noted on Table II
(16) Caroline, Danby. We recommend that the Towns of Caroline and
Danby be combined into a single County Representative District, and that
this District be assigned one County Representative The Total and Adult
populations for this District are recorded on Map I and Table II, and its de-
viation from the County "ideal" is noted on Table II
(17) Enfield, Newfield We recommend that the Towns of Enfield and
Newfield be combined into a single County Representative District, and that
this District be assigned one County Representative The Total and Adult
Populations for this District are recorded on Map I and Table II, and its
deviation from the County "ideal" is noted on Table lI
(18) "Enumeration Districts." Before proceeding to our recommendations
for the Towns of Ithaca and Dryden, it is necessary to say a word about the
United States Census materials your Committee had at its disposal The Census
of this County is conducted by almost 100 individuals, each of whom is given
a portion of the County to cover Each such area is called an "Enumeration
District " These Enumeration Districts are drawn up for the administrative
convenience of the Census Bureau, and they have not been intended to assist
in the reapportionment process Thus the nine towns are divided into a total of
34 Enumeration Districts Enfield, Newfield, Danby, and Caroline each have
only 2 such Districts, Lansing has 3, Ulysses and Groton have 4 each, Dryden
has 6, and the Town of Ithaca includes 9 These Enumeration Districts are,
in effect the "jig -saw puzzle pieces" with which any Reapportionment Com-
mittee is compelled to work The Census gives the Total and the Adult Popula-
tions for each Enumeration District We wish to emphasize that, so far as the
Towns are concerned, more detailed breakdowns are not available, no block -
by -block or road -by -road counts have been recorded Your Committee felt
46 February 3, 1969
itself obliged to use the Census data — which is to say, the Enumeration
District figures — wherever possible For these are the only truly indisputable
figures for an apportionment plan
(19) Ithaca. We therefore recommend that the Town of Ithaca be divided
into two County Representative Districts and that each of these Districts be
assigned a County Representative The Total and Adult Populations for these
Districts are recorded on Map II and Table II, and their deviation from the
County "ideal" are noted on Table II The first such District is composed
of Census Enumeration Districts 17, 18N, 18P, 19N, and 19P, and it em-
braces the Village of Cayuga Heights and the area East and West of the
Village The second District for the Town of Ithaca covers the remainder of
the Town and is composed of Census Enumeration Districts 13P, 14, 15, and 16
(20) Dryden. Your Committee's original hope was to create two County
Representative Districts for the Town of Dryden by using that Town's six
Census Enumeration Districts as their constituent parts We attach Maps III
and IV, which show possible plans for County Representative Districts for the
Town of Dryden based on Census Enumeiation Districts The plan outlined
in Map III has one County Representative District composed of Census Eumer-
ation Districts 21N, 22, and 24, the other is composed of 20, 21P, and 23
The plan outlined on Map IV has one County Representative District composed
of 20, 21P and 22 There was some sentiment in your Committee for recom-
mending the adoption of the County Representative Districts outlined on Map
III However a majority of the Committee felt that such a plan would violate
the residential patterns of the Town The prevailing view was that here was a
case where the Census Enumeration Districts could not reasonably be used
for reapportionment purposes (No one on the Committee favored the plan
depicted on Map IV )
(21) Your Committee's recommendation therefore, is that the Town of
Dryden be divided into two County Representative Districts, that each of these
Districts be assigned a County Representative, and that these Districts follow
the boundaries of now -existing Election Districts of the Town The estimated
Total and Adult Populations for these Districts are recorded on Map V and
Table II, and their deviations from the County "ideal" are noted on Table II
(22) The first such County Representative District, located in the South-
west portion of the Town of Dryden, consists of Election Districts 1, 2, and 7,
the second County Representative District, covering the remainder of the Town,
consists of Election Districts 3, 4, 5, and 6 Our estimate is that in 1960 the
Southwest District contained a Total Population of 3537 and an Adult Popu-
lation of 1965, and that the other District contained a Total Population of
3816 and an Adult Population of 2122 Our estimates were calculated as
follows
(a) In 1960 the Town of Dryden as a whole contained a total of 3274
registered voters Thus for every 100 registered voters, there was a Total
Population of 225 and an Adult Population of 125
(b) In 1960 Dryden Election Districts 1, 2, and 7, taken together, had
a total of 1572 registered voters Applying the ratios cited above, those
Election Districts may be estimated to have a Total Population of 3537
and an Adult Population of 1965
(c) In 1960 Dryden Election Districts 3, 4, 5 and 6, taken together,
had a total of 1702 registered voters Applying the ratios cited in (a),
those Election Districts may be estimated to have a Total Population
of 3816 and an Adult Population of 2122
(d) We have assumed that the ratios between registered voters and
Total Population, on the one hand, and between registered voters and
Adult Population, on the other, are reasonably uniform throughout the
seven Election Districts of the Town of Dryden
(23) Your Committee is well aware that the Town of Ithaca's two County
Representative Districts are relatively large in size, and that the persons
present in them are somewhat underrepresented And we similarly appreciate
that the Town of Dryden's two County Representative Districts are compara-
tively small in size, and that the individuals present in them are somewhat
February 3, 1969 47
overrepresented However, we feel obliged to indicate that the only way to
achieve greater numerical equality among the four County Representative
Districts for the Towns of Ithaca and Dryden would be to detach a portion of
the Town of Ithaca and attach it to the Town of Dryden Unfortunately the
only suitable candidate for such a transfer would be some of the Eastern
portion of the Town of Ithaca, and were such an area to be added to the
Town of Dryden, then the Town of Ithaca's two County Representative Dis-
tricts would no longer be contiguous to one another Your Committee con-
cluded that a slight imbalance in representation was preferable to a carto-
graphical exercise which would sever the Town of Ithaca into two dis-connected
County Representative Districts
THE CITY
(24) The Board of Supervisor's guideline that Adult Population be used
as the basis for reapportionment was motivated chiefly by the fact that the
concentration of non-resident students in the East Hill portion of the City
would, were Total Population used, lead to the creation of County Districts
having insufficient numbers of permanent residents Your Committee's inter-
pretation of this guideline was that it was not so much concerned to elimi-
nate persons under the age of 21 from the reapportionment base as to ensure
that the City's County Representative Districts should all include relatively
equal numbers of permanent residents
(25) Here, too, it is necessary to mention the United States Census
materials available for the City There are 332 blocks on the City of Ithaca,
and the Census Bureau recorded the Total Population for each of these blocks
Thus if Total Population is used as the reapportionment base, it is relatively
easy to draw up County Representative Districts for the City (hereinafter
"Wards") of relatively equal population Those 332 "jig -saw puzzle pieces"
can be permuted and combined in many different variations However the
Census does not record the Adult Population for each of these 332 blocks
The figures for Adult Population are given only for the City's 40 Census
Enumeration Distiicts, each of which contains an average of 8 blocks The
fact that there are only 40 Census Enumeration Districts for the City limits
the accuracy of drawing up 7 City Wards based on Adult Population In other
words, the 40 Census Enumeration Districts cannot be divided into seven
feasible Wards, and once the Census Enumeration Districts are broken up it is
necessary to estimate Adult Populations
(26) Your Committee recommends the creation of seven City Wards, as
outlined on Map VI The official Total Population and estimated Adult
Populations for these Wards are recorded on Map VI and Table II, and their
deviations from the County "ideal" are noted on Table II Your Committee
would like to emphasize that even the three Wards on East Hill, which con-
tained large numbers of Cornell University and Ithaca College students in
1960, have now been so arranged as to include quite substantial Adult Popula-
tions
(27) The Adult Populations for the 7 Wards were estimated in the manner
described in the following example
(a) Census Enumeration District 20-N contains six City blocks, to
which the Census Bureau has assigned the following numbers 176, 214,
215, 216, 217, and 218 The Total Population for this Enumeration Dis-
trict is 916, of which 650 are Adult Population Thus for every 100 persons
present, there are 71 Adults
(b) Block No 217 in Enumeration District 20-N is recorded as having
a Total Population of 136 On the assumption that this block's ratio
of Total Population to Adult Population is the same throughout the entire
Enumeration District, Block 217 is estimated to have 97 Adults living
on it
(c) Computations of this sort were made for all 332 blocks in the
City, in an effort to estimate the Adult Population for each block The
Adult Population figures given for each Ward on Table II and Map VI
are the sum of Adult Population estimates for all the blocks in those
Wards
48 February 3, 1969
(28) Our recommendation for these seven City Wards has the unanimous
support of all members of your Committee The plan embodied in May VI
was found to be the most suitable only after a dozen or more alternatives
were drafted and scrutinized In revising the boundaries of the City Wards,
your Committee gave attention to the following considerations, listed in des-
cending order of importance
(a) Balance of 1960 Total Population None of the recommended Wards
deviates from the Countywide "ideal" by more than 17 per cent, and five
of the seven have deviations of 12 per cent or less By contrast, the Total
Population of former Ward V exceeded the "ideal" by 123 per cent, and
that of the former Ward VI fell short by 38 per cent Moreover, your
Committee has taken note of the unequal 1 ates of growth throughout the
City since 1960 For this reason we have created new Wards I and VII
which are somewhat smaller than the average
(b) Substantial Adult Population in Each Ward. Every Ward we have
created has at least 2000 Adults present within its boundaries, and this
includes new Wards III and V, which have student populations While new
Wards II and VI have over 2600 Adults, it may be noted that both of these
have precisely equitable Total Populations
(c) Natural Geographic Boundaries were followed wherever possible
(d) Historic Common Identities of Wards were preserved wherever
possible Thus the Fall Creek area continues as new Ward IV, and a Cen-
tral Ward carries on as new Ward II
(e) Accustomed Boundaries of Election Districts were preserved
wherever possible
In certain instances, one or more of these criteria came into conflict
with one another For this reason, your Committee felt obliged to estab-
lish a descending order of priorities One factor which your Committee
did not consider was such party advantage — if any — as might accrue
by this revision of City Ward boundaries
THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ITHACA
(29) Your Committee understands that its mandate is to make recommen-
dations for the creation of new County Representative Districts In so doing
we have had to draw up seven City Wards whose boundaries necessarily
differ from those now in effect As matters now stand, the Board of Super-
visors of the County and the Common Council of the City of Ithaca use
identical Wards for electing their members If the Board of Supervisors adopts
the plan recommended in this Report, then the Common Council will have
the following options open to it
(a) The Common Council may reapportion itself, using as its new
Wards those we have recommended to the Board of Supervisors Your
Committee strongly urges the Common Council to take just this action
in preparation for the November 1969 elections Copies of this Report are
being given simultaneous distribution to all members of the Common
Council
(b) The Common Council may retain its existing Wards, or it may
create a new reapportionment plan of its own which differs from the
one proposed in this Report However if the Common Council takes
either of these steps, the result will be that the City of Ithaca will have
two entirely different electoral maps In that event, City Aldermen and
County Representatives from the City will be elected by differing series
of constituencies While the consequence will not be chaos, it will be a
near approximation of that condition For one thing, many voters would
have to go to two different polling places on the same Election Day In
addition, the City and County would have to purchase more voting ma-
chines, hire more election inspectors, and locate more sites for polling
places Many City voters would live in two voting Districts simultaneously
a City Ward and a County Representative District Finally, the party
organizations would have to work out some system of Ward Committees
which would take account of overlapping constituencies In order to
February 3, 1969 49
obviate all of these circumstances, your Committee — two of whose
members are members of the Common Council — urges the Common
Council to reapportion itself at this time
1969 AND BEYOND
(30) Your Committee would be less than candid if it failed to point out
that whenever a plan of reapportionment goes into effect, members of the
reapportioned body must run for re-election Thus there will have to be elec-
tions for the new County Representative Districts in 1969 Moreover the plan
of reapportionment recommended here will soon be obsolete For it is valid
under the County Charter only until the next "publication of the results of the
decennial United States Census for Tompkins County " This clearly means
that the elections of 1973 will be based on yet another series of County
Representative Districts
(31) The next United States Census will be conducted in April of 1970,
and statistical data for Tompkins County will be available shortly thereafter
(There is some reason to believe that this material may be ready before the
end of 1970) Because a new plan of reapportionment will have to be prepared
for elections in the early 1970's, your Committee would like to close its
Report by making the following comments and recommendations
(a) Census Enumeration Districts The Census Bureau is currently
drawing up its Enumeration Districts to be used in 1970 The officials
of that Bureau are prepared to entertain suggestions from this County
regarding the creation of Enumeration Districts which might be better
suited for devising County Representative Districts in the Towns We
therefore urge the County to confer with the Census Bureau on this
matter In particular, it might be asked whether Census Enumeration
Districts could be made to coincide with Election Districts And it could
also be requested that the Census Enumeration Districts be made smaller—
or at least be recorded in sub -units — so that greater freedom of action
may be had in reapportioning the Towns
(b) City and Towns. All available evidence suggests that the 1970
Census will compel the abandonment of the 9 7 ratio between Town and
City Representatives Moreover population distributions may be such that
some County Representaive Districts will require the detachment of a
portion of one Town and attaching it to another In addition it may be
necessary to create one or more Districts which are mixtures of City
and Town population Some of these eventualities may be forestalled
by increasing the size of the County Board of Representatives which,
under the Charter, may rise to a membership of twenty
(c) Board of Elections We urgently call to your attention the heavy
workload which will be cast upon the Board of Elections immediately
following the adoption of a plan of reapportionment First of all, some
new Election Districts will have to be created More pressing, in terms
of time, is the fact that several thousand registered voters will have to be
informed of their residence in their new County Representative Districts
and Election Districts Such information must be available so that they
may have the opportunity for signing nomination petitions and voting
in party primaries Given the deadlines set by State Law, the Board of
Elections will have to do the equivalent of a year's work in a few weeks
Your Committee hopes that task will be facilitated in every possible way
(d) Subsequent Reapportionments. Your Committee asks to be con-
tinued so that it may give further consideration to the issue of Total
Population versus Adult Population As we indicated early in this
Report, the chief question is whether or not non-resident students should
be counted in an apportionment base Your Committee would like to
extend its examination of this matter, including a determination of the
feasibility of actually identifying and locating non-residents in an accurate
and equitable way If such a continuance is granted, your Committee
50 February 3, 1969
would report its findings and opinions to the Board of Supervisors
and the Common Council — before June 30th, 1969

Referring to the report, Pi of Hacker, Chairman of the Committee,
commented that in attempting to follow the Board's guidelines using
Adult Population for determining an equitable and legal base, the com-
mittee found they could not obtain the information as to where the non-
resident students were located As a result of this lack of information, the
committee recorded for each proposed district created both the Adult
and the Total Population
The recommendation of the Reappoi tionment Committee is that this
Report be adopted by the Board of Supervisors as the county's reap-
portionment plan for use in 1969 primaries for the election of the 16 -
member Board of County Representatives taking office on January 1,
1970 In summary, the membership of the Boaid of Representatives, ac-
cording to this recommendation, would consist of One representative
from the Town of Groton, one from the Town of Lansing, one from
the Town of Ulysses, one from the single district foamed by combining
the Towns of Danby and Caroline, one from the single district formed
by combining the Towns of Enfield and Newfield, two from the Town
of Ithaca, two from the Toinn of Diyden, and seven from the City of
Ithaca following the seven new ward boundaries as created by the com-
mittee in this repos t
A lengthy discussion followed during which it was pointed out that
according to the Charter, reapportionment must be redone following the
1970 census but, as representatives terms under the new charter are for
four -years, these figures would not be used until the primaries in 1973,
that by law it is the duty of the particular town or the city to establish
the election districts and under this plan only the Town of Ithaca and
the City would have major changes, that districts should be designated
in numerical order even though rural towns were desnous of retaining
their identity
Prof Hacker stated the committee was not unanimous in its view as to
whether or not non-resident students should be counted Therefore, the
committee felt obligated and would like to continue their study to de-
termine the merits of this issue before presenting their conclusions to the
Board of Supervisors before June Speaking on behalf of the Boaid,
Chairman Bower gave the Committee permission to continue
February 3, 1969 51
Questioned as to whether the Committee's plan follows the mandate
of "One man, One vote", Prof Hacker stated it was defensible and was a
quasi -legal brief and as close as one could get under the special conditions
of the county to this mandate However, it was his opinion that the next
committee on reapportionment would have to look very carefully at the
equality question
Mr Stallman, a member of the Reapportionment Committee and of
the City's Common Council, spoke concerning the timetable for adopt-
ing the plan as recommended As the city is allowed to redistrict under
their Charter, it would be advantageous, Mr Stallman felt, to have an
expression from the City Supervisors before presenting this plan to the
Common Council As no definite objections were voiced by the City
Supervisors, Mr Stallman felt it could be presented to the Common
Council at this week's meeting, a local law placed on the desks of the
council, a public hearing held on the local law, and be ready to act on
this recommendation by February 19th Mr Graves stated he hoped
the Board of Supervisois would be ready to act on the plan at the meet-
ing of the 24th It was stressed if the City and County did not both act
favorably on this recommended plan, it could mean that voters in the
city might possibly be faced with the situation of having to vote in two
different districts, winch would be a costly and chaotic situation
There being no further discussion, Chairman Bower complimented
the Committee tor the fine job they had done in determining this plan
and especially expressed his thanks to Prof Hacker for presenting it to
the Board Prof Hacker replied, stating it had been a pleasure to chair
this committee — it had been a "working" committee with each person
sharing the load and doing a lot of homework Mr Graves, as Chair-
man of the Charter Study Committee, also thanked Prof Hacker and the
entire committee for a job well-done
Chairman Bower declared a recess at 11 30 a m for the Civil Seivice
and Salaries Committee to meet Business resumed at 11 45
Chairman Bower announced that a very serious problem that had
existed for the past few months was now to be opened for discussion
and, as an introduction to the problem, requested the Clerk to read the
following correspondence received by him from Mr Cushing Murray,
President of the Hospital Board of Managers, dated January 30, 1969
"The Tompkins County Hospital Medical Board has advised the
Board of Managers, that due to the unavailability of adequate x-ray
services resulting from an acute shortage of trained personnel, the
Medical Board can no longer justify admissions to the hospital that
require x-ray services except under emergency situations
Essential medical services will, of course, be performed by the
Medical Staff within the limitations imposed by the current shortage
of x-ray personnel.
The Board of Managers accordingly submits to the Board of Super-
visors of Tompkins County the following resolution adopted at an
emergency meeting of the Board of Managers on January 30, 1969:
52 February 3, 1969
WHEREAS, the Board of Managers has repeatedly advised the
Board of Supervisors of a serious situation existing in the x-ray de-
partment of the hospital, because of a failure of the Board of Super-
visors to approve the recommendations of the Board of Managers
concerning grade classification and salaries of hospital x-ray tech-
nicians; and
WHEREAS, the present grade classifications and salary structures
are not acceptable to the hospital x-ray technicians and to the Board
of Managers, and
WHEREAS, the Board of Managers is charged by the Board of
Supervisors with the responsibility of operating the hospital; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Managers and the Medical Board have
made every effort to resolve the present situation,
NOW, THEREFORE, the Board of Managers hereby informs the
Board of Supervisors that it can no longer carry out effectively its
responsibility for maintaining complete hospital services and patient
care inasmuch as the personnel policy is determined by the Board
of Supervisors. In the current emergency, the Board of Managers in-
tends, effective February 1, 1969, unless the Board of Supervisors
prov'des a satisfactory resolution by that date, to take whatever
action it deems necessary to resolve the situation "
Before opening this for discussion, Chairman Bower stated he would
like the Clerk to read a Statement of Facts which was compiled by the
Civil Service and Salaries Committee together with the Personnel Of-
ficer, and would also request the Clerk to read his reply to Mi Murray's
letter which is not a personal letter but is the result of a committee's
determination over the signature of the Chairman of the Board In his
opimon, the committee fully realizes the seriousness of the situation but
as Chan man of the Board he feels that only one side of the situation has
been heard At this time Mr Abbott, Chairman of the Civil Service
Committee, requested that the facts be clear for the record that the
action taken on this problem was not brought about by him, but
rather was a committee action Chairman Bower concurred stating he
had attended the last four committee meetings held to resolve this
problem Chairman Bower stressed the importance of resolving this
problem one way or the other today
The Statement of Facts, distributed to all those present, was read by
the Clerk and states as follows
(1) In 1967, with the advent of the Taylor Law, the Tompkins County
Board of Supervisors reached an agreement with the Tompkins Coun-
ty Civil Service Employees Association, a provision of which called
for a lob classification and wage study of all positions in the County,
to be conducted early enough so that the results could be used in
the contract for 1969
(2) In May, 1968, the New York State Civil Service Department con-
ducted the lob classification study. This consisted of the following -
(a) All employees wrote up, on forms supplied, their own job
duties On the same forms were sections for remarks and signa-
tures of immediate supervisor and for the department heads.
(b) The personnel director and two representatives of the State
Department of Civil Service reviewed all forms, held some inter-
views with employees, and finally the State wrote up job de-
scriptions for each job, giving the same titles and also setting
February 3, 1969 53
forth education, experience and training requirements for each
lob. These descriptions were sent to department heads for re-
view and appeal.
(c) After this, each employee was given his lob description and
notified that, if dissatisfied, a time and place was available for
appeal.
(d) After this, final descriptions were adopted.
THERE WERE NO APPEALS FROM THE X-RAY DEPARTMENT.
(3) C. W. Robinson & Company was engaged by the county to
conduct the wage study. Their operation briefly was as follows:
(a) Above lob descriptions were analyzed and point evaluation
technique was employed to ESTABLISH THE RELATIVE
WORTH OF EACH POSITION CLASS TO THE COUNTY. On each
lob, points were assigned for such items as special knowledge,
formal training, necessary additional working experience, initia-
tive, personal contacts, supervision, etc., a total of nine specific
factors Points for each lob were totaled.
(b) A grid was then set up with grades 1-24, with a range of
points set for each lob. (For example, grade 9 was filled with
lobs ranging 38-42 points.) Each lob was placed in a grade ac-
cording to the number of points totaled for the job. Dollar
figures were then placed on each grade. (For example, grade 9:
$5850-$7020) There are six steps from minimum to maximum.
(c) Initial adjustments to the plan are briefly as shown by the
following example. In grade 9, the steps were as follows
Hiring Minimum A B C D E
$5616 $5850 $6084 $6318 $6552 $6786 $7020
If an employee's 1968 annual salary was Tess than the new mini-
mum, his 1969 salary would be the• new minimum or $5850. If this
increase did not equal 4 percent of the 1968 salary, then his
1969 salary would be at step A or $6084. If the employee's salary
in 1968 was $6200, in 1969 his salary would be $6552.
The remainder of the Robinson report dealt with fringe benefits,
hiring, etc.
(4) In the fall of 1968, the county then started a virtual marathon
of sessions with the Tompkins County Civil Service Employees Asso-
ciation, going over everything set forth above, plus The employees
bargaining group chairman was the Supervising Microbiologist On
the county's bargaining committee was the Hospital Administrator.
The Hospital Administrator was in on the entire negotiations with
the entire salary and classification set-up being fully familiar to him
and at NO TIME DID HE RAISE THE ALLEGED X-RAY PROBLEMS
BEING RAISED NOW These facts completely belie the statement
that the Hospital was not properly represented at negotiations
(5) The contract between employees and Tompkins County was
signed December 13, 1968, and bears the signature of the Hospital
Administrator. By this two-year bending contract, longevity and ex-
perience increments were expressly eliminated Negotiations on these
subjects were indeed lengthy.
(6) The Board of Supervisors and the employees association agreed
that job classifications in the future were strictly a management
problem since it is a continuing process throughout the year (Changes
in lobs, new lobs can and do occur during the year and it is the
Board's job to do so if justified.)
54 February 3, 1969
(7) The X-ray Department demanded changes. The demands came
from various individuals but each demand appeared to be different.
They were:
(a) Salaries not high enough
(b) Vacation problems
(c) Hiring rate vs. experience (longevity)
Numerous attempts were made by the Civil Service and Salaries
Committee to find out lust what the complaint was, still to no avail.
So, in the absence of knowing the answer, here are the facts on each.
(a) Salaries. X-ray technicians are in grade 9 with a minimum
salary of $5850 or $3.00 per hour. (There is a hiring salary of
$5616 or $2 88 per hour but after 12 weeks, if the work of a new
employee is satisfactory, the employee goes to the minimum.)
Some promoters for the technicians claim the salary too low. The
Committee and the personnel officer investigated 17 institu-
tions hiring such employees and found that our $3.00 per hour
minimum is higher than all except Mercy Hospital in Auburn.
Their minimum rate is $3 00. Our rate is as much as 63 cents per
hour more than other hospitals (see attached sheet). It is also
of interest to note that the 1968 salaries actually received by
the technicians involved in the alleged crisis at the hospital were
$8449 91 (base salary, $5324) and $8857.36 (base salary, $5811)
These include call time and actual overtime worked, as well as
base salary.
So, to state that the salaries are too low is simply untrue.
(b) Vacations. Vacations are set forth in our contract, page 6, as -
One week after 6 months, two weeks after one year, three weeks
after eight years, etc This applies to all employees. We are bound
by this contract.
(c) Hiring rate vs experience (Longevity). No provision received
more thought and discussion in negotiations than this As shown
above, longevity was excluded It is true that some X-ray tech-
nicians are at the minimum of grade 9 and that a new em-
ployee could, after 12 weeks of satisfactory work, also get $3 00
per hour. This is true to all departments in the county. With
the fresh classifications and wage scales with the new era of ne-
gotiations, uniformity was necessary. We had to start anew. As
each year goes by, this will no longer be the case. For example,
in 1970, a technician will move from the minimum of $5850 ($3.00
per hour) to Step A ($6084 or '312 per hour), so that they will
continually climb farther and farther away from the new em-
ployee
(8) Realizing finally that by the contract longevity and experience
increments were out, the department proposed several grade changes
by changing classifications, the latest one being as follows:
(a) Grade 13 for the chief technician, which is favorably acted
upon by the Supervisors
(b) Grade 12 (from Grade 9) for a requested newly created posi-
tion of assistant to the chief
(c) Grade 11 (from Grade 9) for one male technician.
(d) Grade 10 (from Grade 9) for the other male technician
(e) Grade 9 for all the female technicians
(a) above was ok'd by the committee (b) above was denied but the
committee agreed unanimously to recommend to the Board creation
of the lob as assistant in Grade 11. Grade 12 would be completely out
of line in that it surpasses such positions as Registered Professional
Nurse, Caseworker, Clerks of Family and Surrogate Courts, Pro-
bation Officers, etc. The points for this position could not possibly be
stretched to reach Grade 12
(c) and (d) above are not recommended by the Committee because
this classification change is not warranted by any stretch of the im-
agination. The lob is simply not commensurate with other positions in
February 3, 1969 55
Grade 10 or 11. This by no means -belittles the position. It is important.
By the same token, however, the job of Housekeeper, Steam Boiler
Fireman, Food Service Helper, etc. at the Hospital, important as
they are, are not equal to the technician's position. If I am an engineer
but choose to become a waiter, I can not expect to receive engineer's
wages while working as a waiter.
To grant the requests of the X-ray Department would void the con-
tract, blow up the entire wage and classification policies of the Coun-
ty, and would create a virtual employee explosion in the county. We
simply must treat all employees equally All are important to the
County in their lobs To intentionally ignore our policies and the
contract for a few would bring chaos and rightly so.
The Board of Supervisors, as representatives of the people of this
County, want to provide the best possible service within our means
to all of the people. This means all services, not merely the Hospital.
Our aim is to treat fairly all employees in all departments of County
government. When we consider requests from one, we must look at it
in light of all others
The leaders involved in this self-created problem should realize
that there are several other employees and departments which must
be considered in any and all personnel policies and programs. If this
had been done in the first place, the present predicament would not
exist.

Chairman Bower, now requested the Clerk to read the reply to the
correspondence from the Board of Managers, reiterating once again that
this was based on the facts acquired in resolving this situation and that
it was the unanimous concensus of the Civil Service and Salaries Com-
mittee
The Cleik read the reply as follows
"I met with the Civil Service and Salaries Committee again on
Sunday morning, February 2, 1969, concerning your requests for job
classification changes in the X-ray Department. At this meeting, as at
the other numerous meetings, the subject was discussed at length,
all records and research were scrutinized at length, and the results
are as follows:
1) The Committee is recommending to the Board of Supervisors
the creation of a position of assistant to the chief technician in
Grade 11
2) The Committee has already adjusted the chief technician posi-
tion
3) The other positions are to remain as they are.
4) The premium call system also remains as it has been in the
past
The Committee action was unanimous In a word, this means that
two of the three requests have been acted upon favorably I might
add that the change set forth in $k1 above was based upon the fact
that an assistantship to the chief was involved.
It is imperative that you understand the decisions were based
upon facts and were by no means arbitrary nor were they designed
to "fix" someone, as has been implied. The contract with the em-
ployees, wages and classifications in hospitals in several counties
and cities, and the classifications for all jobs throughout Tompkins
County, among many other facts, were, of necessity, considered.
Equally, if not more important, the X-ray technicians' job classifi-
cations from the first step in May, 1968, to the final contract signing
were thoroughly examined The Committee has spent untold hours
on this matter It was only after this thorough deliberation that the
results above set forth were reached.
Attached hereto is a fact sheet which is self-explanatory Un-
fortunately, many statements and inferences emanating from the
Hospital have not given the public an accurate picture of the entire
situation. While considerations and negotiations of proposed lob classi-
fication changes for specific employees should not be attempted to be
resolved via the news media, unfortunately an attempt has been made
to do so and as said above, it now becomes necessary to make all of
the facts public If you have any further questions, please feel free
to call me"
February 3, 1969 57
Having brought the members of the Board of Supervisors up-to-date
on the problem, Chairman Bower opened the floor for discussion
The discussion was opened with the objection by Mr Dates to the
assumptions made in Paragraph 3, Page 4 of the Statement of Facts and
with the request that this paragraph be deleted for the record As a
member of the Civil Service and Salaries Committee he acknowledged
his awareness of the Statement but, due to the time element, had not
had an opportunity to review it thoroughly and certainly was not in
agreement with the statements made in that paragraph Chairman
Bower requested the paragraph be deleted for the record Mr Murray
speaking for the whole Board of Managers stated he resented the im-
plications made in the statement Chairman Bower once again stated
that there was no intent on the part of the committee to speak for the
whole board
Mrs Helen Hoefer, a member of the Board of Managers, spoke to the
board regarding the shortage of x-ray technicians and the possibility of
two experienced technicians leaving their positions because of inade-
quate salaries, thus resulting in the curtailment of services at the hospital
The discussion continued for approximately one hour during which
Mr Murray and Mrs Hoefer as members of the Board of Managers de-
fended the position of the Board of Managers and the technicians based
mainly on the Board's desire to fulfill their obligation to the commun-
ity in maintaining the services needed to operate the Hospital, and also
citing the problem of supply and demand in the x-ray technicians field
for experienced help as well as the importance of complying with the
technicians requests because of this situation The Board of Supervisors
declined to comply with the requests of the technicians, other than those
adjustments already agreed upon, to wit 1) the creation of a position
of assistant to the chief technician in Grade 11, 2) the committee has
already adjusted the chief technician position, 3) the other positions
are to remain as they are, and 4) the premium call system also remains
as it has been in the past The Supervisois expressed their behef that if
they were to meet these requests it would be in violation of the contract
with the employees under the Taylor Law, and would decidedly affect
many other county employees, such as the nurses, which would not only
be costly to taxpayers but would bring chaos in all departments and
create an even mole serious problem
In attempting to find a solution to this problem and to keep the
whole structure reasonably stable for this year, Mr Lee suggested to
Mr Murray that the Board of Managers work out a method by which
these particular individuals could be monetarily rewarded through the
premium call system by assigning this to them more frequently Al-
though Mr Murray stated that the Board of Managers had given this
some thought and did not approve of this method, Chairman Bower
58 February 3, 1969
requested that he request the Board of Managers of the Hospital to
eriously consider this suggestion as a solution to this serious problem
especially during the county's first year under the Taylor Law
Mr Murray thanked the membeis of the Board for their time and
effort devoted to this problem, and left to attend a meeting of the
Board of Manageis of the Hospital

Various Committee Chairmen reported as follows
Mr Culligan, Health, remarked an interview had been scheduled with
an applicant for the position of Director of the Mental Health Clinic
Mr Leary, Courts and Correction, related that at a meeting held with
Judge Johnson and Attorney Manley Thaler, Judge Johnson explained
the heavy work load of his position as County Judge and Surrogate and
Family Court Judge It was the concensus of opinion of the committee
membeis present that consideration should be given to the need for an
additional County Judge as has been recommended by the local bar as-
sociation as well as Judge Zellar During the discussion of this matter
it was stated that both judges would be on a par both salary -wise and
duty -wise and a resolution would be needed asking the State Legislature
to create this position The letters from the Bar Association and Judge
Zellar were referred to the County Attorney
Mr Leary, Buildings and Grounds, concerning the renovation of the
jail announced that during this period only 15 cells would be available
for occupancy and this created a problem of housing both county and
city prisoners However, the contract for jail facilities for city prisoners
terminated February 8th and Sheriff Howard and Attorney Williamson
are attempting to contract for housing of prisoners temporarily with
Schuyler County The start of the renovation project has been delayed
because of the type of windows required by the State which will result
in an additional sum of $1,050 The Board authorized Mr Leary to
pioceed with the purchase of these windows under a Change Order
Mr Abbott, Civil Service and Salaries, noted the State Civil Service
Employees Association had requested permission to put on a campaign
among employees on group health and disability insurance offered

tact the representative for the State Civil Service Employees Association
The Personnel Director will schedule a meeting of all department heads
to familiarize them with this request and the schedule set up for in-
terested employees
Mr True noted he recently attended a meeting of the Mental Health
Board at which representatives of the three agencies working with retard-
ed persons appeared to discuss a method of handling the duplication of
services in this area A more detailed report on this will be given at a
later date by Mr True
Under privilege of the floor, Mr Graves requested the Election Com-
missioners outline their timetable to meet the deadlines under the new

Attorney Williamson recommended to the Board that this Local Law
be adopted and stressed the time element involved as it is subject to a
permissive referendum The floor was opened to the public and the
supervisors for questions and comments
Town of Ithaca Supervisor Keri voiced the strong objection, as evi-
denced by a resolution unanimously adopted by his Town Board, to the
district dividing line of the town as proposed The Town Board prefers
and recommends that the center line of the Dryden Road be the dividing
line instead of Hanshaw Road Even though the area appears large, it
represents a small concentration of people After a lengthy discussion,
County Attorney Williamson ruled that to alter the Local Law by chang-
ing any part of it would necessitate re -advertising and scheduling an-
other Public Hearing as this is considered a major change, and to do this
would mean a delay in the final adoption until mid-March Also, Mrs
DeWire, a member of the Citizens' Reapportionment Committee, point-
ed out that this would "open the floodgates" for other changes and that
she would hope this delay would not be necessary
Supervisor Griffin questioned the ieasomng of the Reapportionment
Committee in the proposed plan tor splitting the present Third Ward,
thus completely eliminating the downtown Third Ward by alloting
parts of the current ward to its neighboring wards Mrs DeWire and
Mr Stallman both stated an attempt was made to keep neighborhoods
together as closely as possible to establish a stable base from which of-
ficials could be chosen from each ward clue to the student population
Both noted the trend is that population is declining in the downtown
area and the center therefore moves up the hill The population of the
City does not warrant eight wards but the population of East Hill does
warrant three wards As a result, the downtown third ward under this
proposed plan is out of existence and a new third ward has been created
on East Hill Mrs DeWire requested that questions concerning student
population be delayed until the Citizens' Committee has had an oppor-
tunity to further study this situation and report back to the board in
June
Supervisor Abbott noted, in his opinion, the proposed plan for the
new thnd and fifth wards will give these wards complete domination of
the city
Mr Stallman emphasized that this proposed plan is an interim plan
at best, that the committee used the 1960 census of approximately sixty
thousand in arriving at their conclusions, that the 1970 federal census
figures will be available by next year and by the time the new terms
expire for county and city officials, there must be a complete rearrange-
ment based on the 1970 census, which due to the growth of the county
is approaching the eighty thousand maik

Chairman Bower immediately turned the meeting over to Supervisor
Holden, Chairman of the Education Committee, as the express purpose
of this adjourned meeting was the presentation of the Tompkins -
Cortland Community College Board of Trustee's recommendation for
the location and purchase of a permanent site for the community
college
Mr Holden requested Ronald Space, Chairman of the Board of Trus-
tees of the College, to introduce the members of his board and their
guests and then to proceed with their presentation of their recommenda-
tion to the Board of Supervisors Brochures including maps of the three
94 March 3, 1969
pioposed sites — Groton Site, Dryden Site I, and Dryden Site II — were
distributed together with a prepared Capital Cash Flow Schedule, said
documents placed on file in the Clerk's Office
Mr Space, speaking on behalf of the Board of Trustees, spoke in
detail regarding the pi os and cons of each proposed site and through the
use of slides pointed out on maps of each site the proposed building
areas
Recommended by the Board of Trustees after long deliberations is the
purchase of Dryden Site I, a total of 500 acres at a purchase price of
$325,000
Consideration given the three proposed sites and their findings and
conclusions leading to their recommendation are briefly outlined below
also, the method by which these determinations were made
I The State University of New Yolk submitted to the Board of Trus-
tees the Guidelines for the selection of a permanent site, which were
divided into six major sections of varying importance with points allotted
each section for evaluation purposes, to wit Accessibility (250) , Site
Characteristics (250) , Costs (175) , Size of Site (150) , Environment
(100) and Integration with Regional Planning (75) for a total of 1000
points
II Using these guidelines, the following deteiminations and ratings
were made
GROTON SITE (530 points) located partially in the South Eastern
part of the Village of Groton extending eastward to Lick Street (unpaved
and unimproved) and southward to South Main Street Extension, com-
prises with recent options included 293 Acres at a purchase price of
$135,000, broken down by properties and costs as follows Peters — 132A
@ $40,000, Cornelius — 131A @ $70,000, and Pierce — 30A @ $25,000
Also, verbal option from the Groton Enterprise Corporation of five (5)
additional acres at a price of $1,000, as well as the school system is pre-
pared to deed adjacent area owned by them, if the Groton Site is selected
In evaluating this site the following pros and cons were listed 1) dis-
tance factor 50% greater than the Dryden sites with Ithaca 18 miles and
Cortland, 10, 2) No major highways running to the site although the
Town has committed itself to the improvement of Lick Street, 3) Large
portion of property is wooded and undevelopable without considerable
expense, 4) boundaries highly irregular, 5) must acquire total site to
obtain 100 usable acres, 6) Public utilities are readily available at a fairly
low cost Conclusion Site not recommended by the Trustees primarily
because of the expense of development and the lack of easy accessibility
March 3, 1969 95
DRYDEN SITE II (730 points) located approximately one mile west
of the Village of Dryden, along and south of NYS Route 13, comprises
approximately 240 acres at a purchase price of $220,000, broken down
by properties and costs as follows Crowe — 120A @ $100,000, Cooke —
120A @ 120,000 In evaluating this site the following pros and cons were
listed 1) Accessibility, 9 miles to Ithaca and 12 to Cortland, 2) Good
building sites, 3) Highway divides property, 4) High Voltage Line right
of way on Cooke property, 5) excessive cost for extending public utili-
ties, and 6) Cost per acre much higher than other proposed sites Due
to the State's objection to public roads crossing through college sites and
to the high voltage transmission right of way, the State University of
New York considers this site not acceptable to them Conclusion and
findings Site Not Recommended primarily because of the State's strong
objections to the above-mentioned handicaps and their rejection of the
Cooke property Also, the site is limited in size and expansion, if possible,
in future years would be very costly
DRYDEN SITE I (925 points) located starting- north of Village of
Dryden limits and extending approximately one mile north along NYS
Route 13, bounded on the north by Livermore Road and on the south by
Village of Dryden comprises 500 Acres at a purchase price of $325,000,
broken down by properties and costs as follows Sisco — 75A @ 75,000,
Portzline — 220A @ $70,000, Yaples — 35A @ $35,000, Harmon — 62A
@ $70,000, Anderson — 82A @ $50,000, and Stuttle — 25A @ $25,000
In evaluating this site the following pros and cons were listed 1) Total
accessibility to both Ithaca and Cortland, approximately equal mileage
on improved roads with Route 13 fronting propel ty and bus service
available, 2) three-dimensional view — natural spot, 3) 80% developable
land, 4) ummpounded boundaries, 5) all public utilities readily avail-
able, 6) balance of land usable for recreational and educational projects,
7) soil characteristics hest of all sites considered, 8) ideally suited from
the long-range plans of the overall two -county community Conclusion
Recomemnded Site
Mr Space is elaborating further concerning the acreage contained in
this site and its possible uses pointed out the interesting development of
the Dryden area which has special concatenations upon this site The
Town of Diyden, Village of Dryden and Central School District are,
through joint efforts, cooperating with the State regarding their concern
for the flat land flooding Under the Public Law 566, the State Con-
servation Department is pioceeding with a feasible study as well as an
economic study and there is a possibility of the Egypt Cieek Water Shed
project being established almost totally within the proposed site This
would be beneficial for recreational and educational development as
well as being used for water shed purposes
In conclusion, Mr Space stated, "The Board of Trustees of this Col-
lege fully realizes the site has land in excess of its present needs, But, in
96 March 3, 1969
light of present and anticipated growth of the Ithaca and Cortland area,
with the possibility of a regional city complex, and now with growth
rapidly developing toward the area of Dryden, I need only to stress that
with the residential, commercial and industrial growth east of the City
of Ithaca and Town of Dryden, and the same type of growth from Cort-
land to Dryden, it seems only good, sound, practical common business
sense to allow the taxpayers and residents to participate in this growth
and appreciate this value that will come with this growth by having ex-
pansion needs taken cai e of right now rather than attempt at a later
date to acquire property at inflated prices "
Strongly urging the consideiation of this site, the following Capital
Cash Flow Schedule was presented, which indicates an excess of $10,000
over the required needs for purchasing this property due to one-half of
the appraised value of the present site, or $82,500, which the State is
prepared to buy, Mr Space stated

In the further presentation of recommending Dryden Site I, Mr
Space remarked "Your Board of Trustees was organized a bare eighteen
months ago Meantime they have given unselfishly of their time, energy
and wisdom for the development of a true comprehensive community
college for our area, one the residents of Tompkins and Cortland Coun-
ties can be truly proud All the members of this Board are truly responsi-
ble and capable individuals who are all successful in their own individual
professions and business and are all taxpayers The Tompkins -Cortland
Community College has come into being in one of the shortest times,
yet our college is being recognized throughout the state as one of the
soundest and most responsible institutions in the community college
sphere The Boards of Supervisors of both Tompkins and Cortland
County have been very cooperative and twice unanimously approved
tight, but adequate, budgets for the institution The administration and
March 3, 1969 97
faculty team has been developed and I can assure you will provide a
nucleous to build the professional staff necessary to implement the ob-
jectives of the college in a manner which will provide the people of this
sponsorship community with a Community College that is truly responsi-
ble to the needs of the community The State Education Department,
Division of Accreditation, has given the college a six-year accredita-
tion of our program, which is nearly unheard of This unanimous
recommendation by the Board of Trustees now laid before you is but
one more piece in the overall package
The recommendation as submitted in the prepared brochure reads
"The Board of Trustees of Tompkins -Cor tland Community College,
after long deliberation and investigation, unanimously and whole-
heartedly recommend the site north of the Village of Dryden It is re-
quested that the legislators of the two counties fully consider this site
and its many merits and advantages as the permanent location for the
college "
A summary of the discussion from the floor together with answers
related either by Mr Space or other members of the Board of Trustees
present are as follows
Appraisal—The State Contribution is based on the State's Appraised
Value of the site, therefore, this projected state contribution could
be less if their appraisal did not meet the proposed land acquisition
cost Suggested by Mr Space as a protection measure, a contingency
clause be included in the Supervisors' resolution, 1 e , "$0 00, de-
pendent upon State Appraisal Approval "
State Acreage Requirements — State Minimum Requirements for 1000
students is 100 Usable Acres Projection of student population is
based on approximately 1% of the total sponsorship population,
therefore, anticipating growth of the area, an estimated 2000 stu-
dents will be enrolled in the next 20-25 years The Board of Trustees
are committed to serving first of all the needs of the area students
There are no restrictions on enrollment, other than economic
State Requz'ement Raga) ding Building — The State does not set any
specific number of years a community college must be in operation
prior to building on a permanent site In fact, Mr Space stated the
State would have preferred that the college had obtained their
permanent site prior to the opening of the college
Acreage of Recommended Site — Included in the recommended site of
500 acres are three residences plus other buildings which possibly
can be utilized To avoid purchasing property at inflated prices for
expansion at a later date and for protection on a long-range basis,
98 March 3, 1969
the Trustees recommend the purchase of this acreage However, the
possibility of the development of the Egypt Creek Water Shed, pre-
viously mentioned, would use approximately 150A of the 500A
with State and Federal monies available for the development of
this project This could advantageously be used by the college by
allowing them to include in their curriculum a course to train
sub -professionals in the field of conservation as well as creating a
desirable recreation area Also, the State University does allow the
sponsors, if it is found that the land is in excess of the college's
needs, to sell any unneeded portion On this particular site, the
Trustees feel, land values for land surrounding the college will
greatly increase
Long -Range Capital and O pe? ating Pi olecttons — The Board of Ti ustees
does not have available a long-range capital projection They do
have a 5 -year operating projection based on today's prices Presently,
per student costs are high but the cost decreases as the enrollment
increases A survey is now being conducted in all area sponsor-
ship community high schools to determine the wants and needs of
area students, results of which when evaluated will aid in deter-
mining the long-range needs of the college to fit the area Present-
ly, taxpayers are paying for area students who are attending other
community colleges and included in this cost to the taxpayer is a
chargeback for capital costs (50% of the tuition fee) Present plans
are for the continued use of the present college facility as long as
it is economically feasible to operate Anticipated costs as the col-
lege develops and grows can not be termed in the thousands but
in the millions, one board member commented Mr Space stated
the Board of Trustees would not build a monumental structure
but rather would explore all alternatives and build a school that
would accommodate educational changes and future challenges At
the present time, he noted, the 1969-70 College Budget has been
forwarded to the State and should be back to the sponsors for
their approval within two to three months
Regional Planning—The Board of Trustees contacted professionals in
this area at Cornell University and prior to consultation with them,
the Cornell Professionals had chosen Dryden Site I as the ideal
location for the permanent site of the college Questioned on the
assurance of any further undesirable land use of adjoining prop-
erties, referring specifically to the trailer park, Mr Space stated
there is no assurance, however, to protect against this, the Board
of Trustees were recommending the purchase of this 500 acre site
Site Preparation and Costs — The Board did not expend monies to em-
ploy a professional to survey these costs However, an estimate of
$50 per hour is the current charge tor the moving of dirt This
was considered in evaluating the Groton Site where it would be a
March 3, 1969 99
necessity to expend monies for this purpose due to the topogiaph)
of the site and it was felt site preparation costs would be excessive
It was determined that site preparation costs for Dryden Site II
would be about comparable to Site I but the site does have only
minimal useable acreage with limited expansion possibilities plus
the handicaps that were not acceptable to the State
Procedure for Selection of Site — Both Boards of Supervisors must accept
or reject the recommendation of Dryden Site I as the permanent
site They cannot vote for either of the other proposed sites If the
Board of Trustees' recommendation for the purchase of Dryden
Site I is rejected by either or both of the Boards of Supervisors,
the matter will be referred back to the Board of Trustees for a re-
assessment and for resubmitting another recommendation to the
Supervisors The accepted site must also carry the final approval
of the State University of New York, which the Board of Trustees
feels is assured in their selection of Site I as the State has already
said this is an ideal spot The Boards of Supervisors as sponsors have
definite control of both capital construction and operational ex•
pendituies through the required approval by them of the yearly
budgets, as well as having control of the selection of the site by
their required acceptance prior to state approval of same
There being no further questions or discussion, Chairman Bower
thanked Mr Space for his excellent presentation

of the Board on March 5, 1969, regarding the recommendation of the
Education Committee concerning the Permanent Site of the Tompkins -
Cortland Community College
"MEMBERS PRESENT AT COMMITTEE MEETING, MARCH 4
Supervisors Holden, Culligan, Updike and Lee — 4, ABSENT Supervisor
Leary (polled by phone) , Assistant County Attorney Paul Tavelli
The Education Committee, by a vote of 4 to 1, does not recommend at this
time that the Board of Supervisors approve Dryden Site #1 as recommended
(SODA @ $325,000) by the Board of Trustees of the College
Briefly summarized below is the individual poll of the members taken
at their meeting
Supervisors Lee, Leary and Culligan favor the municipality of Dryden for
the proposed college site because the Dryden vicinity is more readily accessi-
ble to county residents and also is the population center of the sponsorship
counties
Supervisors Leary and Culligan fal.or Dryden Site #2 because of the suit-
ability of the site for construction coupled with the smaller acreage needed
to be purchased
Supervisor Lee favors Dryden Site #1 as recommended, if, and only if, the
proposed conservation project becomes a reality
Supervisors Holden and Updike favor the Groton site because of the cost
per acre and other economical factors, as well as the proximity of the present
temporary site of the college to the proposed future site
/s/ Claude Holden, Chairman
Education Committee"

March 10, 1969 103
Chairman Bower opened the meeting up for comments and discussion
from the floor, including the guests present, stating the resolution would
be presented at 11 00 a m
Gary Lee, a member of the Education Committee and Supervisor from
the Town of Dryden, commented that research had been done to deter-
mine a cost projection for the extension of sewage to Dryden Site #2,
and the best obtainable figures at the present time showed $165,000 for
this extension, this does not include figures for water extension which
would be an additional cost
Also, Mr Lee, as a minority of one of the Education Committee, read
the following prepared statement, to wit "I rise as a member of our
Education and Conservation Committees and urge your positive con-
sideration on this significant issue and historic decision — one of those
unusual moments in our tenure of office when our conclusion will truly
affect both present and future generations With confidence, I trust your
evaluation and decision has not been influenced by some of the regretful
non-factual information and false allegations disseminated over the past
couple of months Instead I know your stance is founded upon fact This
morning we are being called upon to ratify a unanimous recommenda-
tion, a recommendation formulated by our duly constituted Board of
Trustees after many, many long hours of research and study The logic,
the need, and unequivocal acceptance of a 500 acre site — solely for the
purpose of our community college as we have envisioned our institution
is undoubtedly questionable, and particularly when considered within a
framework of philosophy that a commuting student population has ma-
jor emphasis However, this 500 acre site recommendation is not solely for
our community college — instead it represents a unique opportunity and
exciting prospect of merging an education and conservation venture on
the same site (500 not 350+150) Such endorsement will not only bring
a college site, but the development of a multi-purpose water -shed project
— encompassing recreational use, flood control and municipal water
storage for future county water demands Given the pressing demands
for increased recieational areas, this unique dual purpose site can go a
long way toward meeting a county challenge and this could be our first
County Park Gentlemen, I seek and urge your support of this unusual
opportunity — support of this unanimous recommendation will also be
representative of our sincere thanks to our hard-working Board of Trus-
tees Thank you "
Mr Updike, also a member of the Education Committee, rose to com-
ment that he was supporting the Groton Site for economical reasons The
cost per acre was less than that in the other two proposed sites and its
closeness to the present college site made it economically feasible Also,
he felt consideration should be given to the fact that Groton had made
numerous adjustments to accommodate the temporary site of the college
and had accepted these responsibilities Mr Updike stated, in his opinion,
104 March 10, 1969
the County is not in the Real Estate Business, 500 acres is too large for
the site, and by paying the proposed purchase price figured on a per acre
cost the county would be setting a precedent for the purchase of other
lands needed for county projects such as sanitary landfill
Mr Culligan, also a member of the Education Committee, spoke con-
cerning the building site on the proposed Dryden Site #1, noting that it
would make a big difference m sewage extension costs and depending on
this could be as costly as the projected cost for Site #2, also, zoning
should be considered to protect the property Mr Culligan suggested
that the Chairman, in the event the site was to be reassessed, appoint a
special committee to work with the Board of Trustees m this reevalua-
tion, thereby, divorcing the Supervisor from the Town of Dryden and
the Town of Groton from the committee and including the County
Planning Director as a member of the special committee to work with
the Trustees In conclusion, Mr Culligan stated he basically would like
to see more study on Site #2, it possible, and it not, more information on
Site #1 as to location of building site, etc
Mr Marcham read a prepared statement which had been distributed
to each Supervisor in which he listed, in his opinion, the criteria prior to
approving a permanent site, to wit "Have the opinion of the county
planning director as to the desirability of any site recommended, have
from the college board a clearer picture than we do now of projected
enrollment, operating expense, and capital expense for each year for the
next 5-10 years, including the Tompkins County share In this connection
we should have information in writing from the state on its contribution
and any plans to change the state's share Have from the college board
a figure related to the site or sites it recommends showing not only pur-
chase cost but also the cost of bringing utilities to the approximate place
where buildings would be put up In the case of the southwest Dryden
site, an idea of the usable land and added costs to be entailed in shifting
Irish Settlement Rd east and closing Fedguson Rd In order to vote for
a site, I would expect the assurance by appropriate action of the town
board of the town in which the college is located that the land im-
mediately facing the site on public roads would be used in keeping with
the investment being made on the college site I don't mean townwide
zoning as a condition of locating the college in a town, but I do consider
land control in the immediate area as a minimum Acceptance of a site
should not be considered agreement to build new college buildings im-
mediately Before that decision is made, we should have a clear idea of the
sort of college we are building for — as to size and type of courses it will
offer We should have an idea from the budget officer and our Finance
Committee of how they propose to pay for the projected capital and
operating costs of the college in the next 5-10 years We must ask our
Education Committee to keep the Board of Supervisors more fully in-
formed of the sort of discussions and decisions being made by the col-
lege board as relates to county expenditures, and to maintain clear and
March 10, 1969 105
cooperative lines of communication with the Cortland Board of Super-
visors "
Mr Holden, Chapman of the Education Committee and Supervisor
of the Town of Groton, remarked he was not a politician and if the
Town of Groton did not have anything he felt was feasible to offer, he
would not support it However, he felt the Town of Groton does have
something feasible from the economical standpoint and therefore Iv as
supporting the Groton Site He stated his main concern regarding Dryden
Site #1 was the cost of the upkeep of this large amount of acreage, as
well as the distance from the present college facility
Dr Donald Crispell, Chairman of the Egypt Creek Watershed Study
Group, offered to answer any questions concerning this proposed project
During the discussion he noted that the watershed project would make
the proposed site almost 100% usable Presently, it is 80% usable, but
the whole proposed community college site of 500 acres would be within
the watershed project thereby making a considerable amount of the site
and construction costs fundable by the Fedeial Government Through
the development of a recreational area, this would increase the value of
the land as it would make usable the presently unusable land The
land would continue to be owned by the sponsorship counties, however,
it is possible under the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act of the
Appalachian Program to receive funds up to 80% for land acquisition if
a portion of the land is set aside for recreational purposes
Mrs Florence Rumph, President of the Tompkins County Taxpayeis'
Association, stated "We would like to go on record as stating that the
Board of Directors have voted unanimously in favor of the Groton Site,
based on all the facts obtained from the news media "
Mr Menzies commented on the projected growth of the Dryden Com-
munity vs the Groton Community, noting that the growth of Dryden
area seemed inevitable but, in his opinion, the county would greatly
benefit economically through the growth of the Groton area if the
permanent site of the college was located there
Mr Graves stated, in his opinion, serious consideration should be given
to the limitation of student enrollment The net cost to the county for
operating and capital expenditures in the future based on a projected
2000 to 2500 enrollment would amount to one million dollars and his
concern was how much this county can afford as there are numei ous
other proposed projects for the future to be considered
Mr Ostrander commented he basically favored Dryden Site #1 pro-
vided costs were cut by reducing the size He felt perhaps we were losing
sight of the original purpose of the community college — to serve area
students at a most reasonable cost
106 March 10, 1969
Chairman Bower, objecting to the proximity of the Portzline Trailer
Park, asked Attorney Williamson if it was legally possible to condemn
this property, Attorney Williamson ruled this would be possible only
if the county could prove the area was needed for public use or purposes
There being no further pertinent comments or discussion, Chairman
Bower called for the presentation of the resolution
RESOLUTION NO 67—Approval of Site — Tompkins -Cortland Com-
munity College
Mr Holden offered the following resolution and moved its adoption
WHEREAS, the Trustees of the Tompkins -Cortland Community College
have made an extensive investigation into the location and acquisition of the
permanent site for the Tompkins -Cortland Community College, and
WHEREAS, the proposed sites for said college, in accordance with the
requests of the Supervisors of both counties, are located in the towns of
Diyden and Groton at points located half way between the cities of Ithaca
and Cortland, and
WHEREAS, the Trustees have presented to the boards of both counties de-
tailed analysis of all sites, and
WHEREAS, the Education Committee of the Board of Supervisors has
studied said proposals, and
WHEREAS, the Trustees of the Community College recommend the acquisi-
tion of a 500 5 acre tract of land located north of the Village of Dryden for
the purchase price of $325,000 as the permanent site of the Community College,
now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of said Trustees of the Community Col-
lege, That the Tompkins County Board of Supervisors approves the acquisi-
tion of the 500 5 acre tract of land located north of the Village of Dryden as
the permanent site for the Tompkins -Cortland Community College at a cost of
$325,000 continguent on the approval of said price by the State of New York,
the monies for said acquisition being available in the Community College
Budget,
RESOLVED, further, That a copy of this resolution be sent to the Board of
Trustees of the Tompkins -Cortland Community College, the Clerk of the
Board of Supervisors of Cortland County and the President of the Tompkins -
Cortland Community College
Seconded by Mr Cortright Discussion followed during which Mr
Space assured the Board that the Board of Trustees had worked directly
with the lay committees of both townships and after long deliberations
the Board of Trustees were unanimous in recommending Dryden Site
#1 as they felt it was to the best interests of the sponsorship counties
It was also noted that, if they were required to vote on this resolution
today, due to the many unanswered relevant questions, this could have a
definite affect on the vote of some of the supervisors Chairman Bower
stated we had committed ourselves to vote on the resolution today Mr
Dates called for a vote on the resolution
AYES 3 NOES 12 ABSENT 1 RESOLUTION LOST
(By Phone, Chairman Bower was notified that the Cortland County

Trustees for Dryden Site #1 by a vote of 19-0 with 2 members absent
Copy of their resolution together with the report of their Education Com-
mittee which lists the reasons for rejection of the recommendation, are
on file in the Clerk of the Board's Office )
Chairman Bower thanked the Board of Trustees for a job well done
and Mr Space stated that a reevaluation would be made and another
recommendation presented to the Boards of Supervisors However, he
noted the Board of Trustees would definitely welcome the appointment
of a site hason committee and in his opinion this would greatly further
communications between the Board of Trustees and the Supervisors
Chairman Bower informed Chairman Space that a letter citing the Board
of Supervisors requests to be considered during future reevaluation to-
gether with a certified copy of the resolution would be forwarded to him
soon
Under privilege of the floor, Supervisor Lee stressed the importance of
the forthcoming County Sewer Agency Meeting scheduled for March 20
in that it could mean the establishment of a future countywide sewer
plan

Mr Kerr, Special Library, iemarked that the dedication of the library

April 28, 1969 131
line of authority in the event of an emergency situation, Chairman
Bower directed County Attorney Williamson to submit to the Board a
written opinion on this matter
Mr Marcham, Human Rights, introduced James Gibbs, Mrs Cottrell,
State Representative Bob Mayer of Syracuse,_ and other members of the
Human Rights Commission, to present to the Boaid the Commission's
consolidated recommendation on the definite need for the employment
of a part-time staff member to work m problem detection and eleviation,
i e , to receive, investigate and report grievances and to attempt to
quell rumors that may possibly lead to the community tensions and situ-
ations similar to those recently experienced on the Hill and throughout
the County The most probable person to be employed to detect and ease
these tensions would be a qualified young black man to carry out these
duties
A lengthy discussion and question and answer period followed during
which Commissioner Gibbs outlined to the Boaid the effect the growth
of our community in recent years has had in creating the social problems
and tensions that are very deep seeded between the blacks and whites
and the problems encountered by Commission members in easing these
tensions due to lack of time from their own full-time positions This
employee would be a county employee hired on a part-time basis The
suggestion was made to the Commission members the possibility of an
already organized group through which this individual might be identi-
fied Mr Gibbs noted this had been discussed but the Commission was
of the opinion it was important for this individual to be identified with,
and carry the respect of, a government unit rather than be identified
with a volunteer agency
No action was taken by the Board on the approval of the employment
of a part-time person However, Mr Marcham concluded the discussion
by stating the Human Rights Committee would now make recommenda-
tions to the Board at a later date Chairman Bower thanked the Com-
mission members for their presentation

the County hire a full-time dog warden, and Chairman Bower said a

Mr Graves read the following written report on the American Associa-
tion of Airport Executives Conference which he recently attended
"We visited and toured 11 an ports, one air tower control and the
United Airlines Training Center The program of speakers was loaded
with top notch experts in the field of airport management and air
transportation including consultants, directors, managers, commissioners,
FAA officials, planners, and members of the U S Dept of Transporta-
tion, also Senator Mike Maronney, Chester Bowers, Director, FAA
Services Congressman Don H Clausen of California, John A Volpe,
Sec U S Dept of Transportation was scheduled to speak, unable to, clue
to illness, topics covered included Airport Site Selection, Airport Noise
Certification Criteria, Mobile Lounge Concept, Airport Development
Cost Control, The Airport Bond Market, Airport Financial Self -Suffi-
ciency, Building A Good Work Force, Role of the Federal Government
in Airport Development and Planning, Role of the State Government in
Airport Development and Planning, Airport User Charge Proposals,
Airport Liability Insurance, The Role of the Airport Consultant, Im-
proving Airport Ground Access, Improving Airport Capacity, Air-
port Police — Fire Personnel, Trainee Programs and Concession Serv-
ices
In addition I personally interviewed 43 individuals representing 39
airports such as managers, directors, commissioners, county supervisors
and city representatives from the largest airports such as Dulles Int ,
154 June 9, 1969
Kennedy and McArthur to the smallest an ports such as Texarkana, Ark,
Worcester, Mass , and Marquette, Mich
The tour other interviews were with an airline pilots' Association
Safety Officer, an Airpoi t Engineer, an FAA Airway Operations Special-
ist, and a member of the U S Dept of Transportation, names of air-
ports, their representatives, and notes are on attached sheets
As a result, I must admit being wrong in insisting that our Airport
Operation be put under the Dept of Public Works in our Charter
Seven ot those interviewed are now under a Dept of Public Works, only
one was happy, the rest cited too many problems such as lack of equip-
ment when needed, politics, slowness of decisions, difference in equip-
ment and methods ot operation
A few airports had been under D P W Direction, but quickly discon-
tinued the operation Most airports operate under agencies, boards,
commissions, authorities, committees such as ours or a combination of
the above
We were fortunate to spend at least one hour with Mr Chris Knap-
ton, Special Assistant to Mr John Volpe, Secretary U S Dept ot Trans-
portation Discussion centered around the proposed bus service to our
hospital and the future of transportation in our area Lucky for us Mr
Knapton is a former resident of Ithaca, consequently he was well aware
of our conditions and fns promise of help when requested was appre-
ciated
As an added side light I was fortunate to get a rundown on another
nuclear power plant now being constructed at Cordova, Illinois by
Commonwealth Edison of Chicago, Illinois This is a 2 unit plant and
once again absolutely no opposition There are other nuclear plants in
the area, Joliet, Illinois
Mr Chairman, I submit this repo]. t, I hope you and the Board will
accept it as worth while I do not expect it to be accepted unanimously
but it is a report I am very happy to make
Finally one bit of advice and counsel, with the quickly changing pace
of air transpoi tat].on as it is today and is expected to be in the future
and if we are going to continue in the airport business, greater emphasis
is going to have to be given airport facilities and related problems "

and upon request of Mr Stanley C Shaw, the Clerk read the follow-
ing letter addressed to the Board of Supervisors
"My objections to proposed amendments to the Tompkins County
Charter and Code prior to Jan 1, 1970 are other than those the Charter
and Code provides for as set forth in Article 2 covering compensation,
reapportionment and election of representatives and Sec 18 1 relating
to term of office of County Clerk and appointment of the Medical Ex-
aminer
June 9, 1969 157
Any other proposed action, including amending the Chanel and
Code relative to the office of Commissioner of Budget and Administra-
tion that would change the language or purpose as presently set forth
in the Charter and Code as adopted by your board and approved on
a referendum, would in my opinion constitute an illegal act and would
be an abuse of your Legislative Authoiity Such action by your Board
would be found unacceptable by many of the citizens of our County
and would be definitely contrary to the Board's original intent and act
and also an affront to those who supported the Charter and Code on a
referendum
The proposed change that is before your Board for consideration is
not just a minor matter, it is most important The Office of Commis-
sioner of Budget and Administration is by far the most important office
under the Charter and Code This office has many responsibilities, it is
involved in every phase of our County Government This office will
require a considerable staff in order to carry out the many functions as-
signed under the Charter and Code He shall be directly responsible to,
and serve at the pleasure of the Board of Representatives to amend this
section to provide that the Commissioner of Budget and Administration
be given term of office would be a complete departure from the pur-
pose of this section of the Charter and Code as submitted on a referen-
dum and adopted by the electorat
If the Charter and Code is amended to provide for a tenure of office
for the Commissioner of Budget and Administration, the Board then
should give the people of our County the oppoi tunny of voting on the
proposal on a referendum in the General Election this Fall The people
of our County are fully entitled to this consideration by your Board "
A lengthy discussion on each Local Law followed, summarized briefly
below, to wit
Local Law No 3 — Fixed Term and Employment of Commissioner of
Budget and Administration prior to 1970 — I) Original reason for not
fixing this term of office was to assure that control of this office re-
mained with the Board of Representatives, 2) Special Committee visual-
ized the need for fixed term to attract high calibre person for position
by offering some job security, 3) Calibre of person accepting this posi-
tion would not be concerned with this security, therefore, term unneces-
sary, 4) Class status of this position determined by State Civil Service,
5) Public Hearing held petitioning the State to put this position in non-
competitive class, to be at pleasure of the Board, it would have to be
placed in the exempt class and another Public Hearing held, 6) most
other appointed official's terms determined by state law, 7) can be
created by resolution of the Board Mrs Florence Rumph stated "The
Tompkins County Taxpayers Assn supported the County Charter One
of our main reasons was on the basis that the Budget and Administrator
would be serving at the pleasure of the Board And, right now, before-
158 June 9, 1969
this Charter even takes effect, you are trying to change it If these things
are important they should have been brought out before I believe,
that actually you hire a man and if this man does a good job he is not
going to have to worry about his job But, I certainly do not like to go
on record supporting the County Charter and find out before January
1, 1970, you aie already trying to put through one major change And
this means another ieferendum, more public hearings, more delay and
I do not know what you are going to gain by this and I resent it "
Local Law No 4 — Personnel Director to be member of Negotiating
Committee— 1) Suggested if found necessary, Personnel Director be
made a part of the negotiating team after a second year of experience
under the Taylor Law, 2) Personnel Director is a valuable person on
the Negotiating Committee due to his overall knowledge and should
be more than advisory member, 3) Elected officials outnumbered by
appointed officials on committee, 4) Chairman of Board of Representa-
tives could appoint Personnel Director if he felt he should serve under
the provision of the Charter, 5) Contradiction in Charter between Sec-
tions 6 02 (i) and 2 10 (d) which should be cleared up, and 6) injury
of relationship with employees in declaring himself
Local Law No 5 — immediate implementation of County Jury Board
and Commissioner of Jurors — 1) very practical, needed to make job
work in 1970, and 2) can be accomplished through resolution of the
board,
Local Law No 6 — change name "County Representative" back to
"County Supervisor" — 1) to eliminate area of confusion, and 2) sug-
gest name of county legislator be considered
There being no further discussion, Chairman Bower declared the
hearing closed and reconvened the meeting at which time under Privi-
lege of the Floor Mr Culligan introduced Architect Mann, consultant
employed by the College Board of Trustees, together with Mr Liguori,
County Planner and Advisory Member of the Special Committee, to ex-
plain in detail the proposed site plans Mr Culligan noted this was
basically intended as an informational presentation which coincides with
the resolution adopted by the Community College Board of Trustees on
June 5, 1969, entitled "Site Recommendation of the Board of Trustees,"
to wit
"WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of Tompkins -Cortland Community
College presented their recommended site proposal to the Tompkins County
Board of Supervisors and the Cortland County Board of Supervisors, and
said was rejected by both Boards of Supervisors, and
WHEREAS, a Site Committee was formed consisting of the Tompkins
County Liaison Committee (Culligan, Leary, Graves, Updike, and Liguori),
the Cortland County Education Committee (Taylor, Fitzgerald, Law, Mc-
Auliff, and Pryor), members of the Board of Trustees (Space, Thaler, and
Neiderhofer), and Mr Robert Mann, Consultant, and said Committee held
meetings to discuss all proposed sites for the Tompkins -Cortland Com-
munity College, and
June 9, 1969 159
WHEREAS, the Site Committee of the Board of Trustees submitted to
the Board of Trustees a resolution indicating their recommendation for the
permanent site of Tompkins -Cortland Community College, and
WHEREAS, the above said resolution was received and reviewed by the
Board of Trustees of Tompkins -Cortland Community College at a Board
Meeting held on June 5, 1969, and
WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees approved the recommendation of the
Site Committee, be it therefore
RESOLVED, that the Board of Trustees of Tompkins -Cortland Community
College recommends to the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County and
the Board of Supervisors of Cortland County that Dryden Site No 1, as
shown on the site plan originally submitted to the above mentioned Boards
of Supervisors, located on the east side of Route No 13, but excluding the
property owned by Sisco which was included in the original proposal, be ap-
proved for the site of Tompkins -Cortland Community College "
During a lengthy question and answer period in which both Super-
visors and area residents of Groton participated, Mr Mann attempted
to answer such questions as accessibility, potential economical growth
surrounding the selected site and it was also pointed out that the resolu-
tion (distributed to each Supervisor) as adopted by the Board of Trus-
tees, is the Board's Site Recommendation to the Board of Supervisors
Also, Mr Mann pointed out that the cost of the 30 acres of Sisco property
(Est $75,000) , was equal to or more than the cost of the 200 Portzline
acres being included in the recommended site The State's minimum
acreage for the projected 3000 students is 130 usable and buildable
acreage Mr Mann stated he recommended, after a study of all pro-
posed sites, to the Board of Trustees the Dryden area as the best area
for a college because of its growth and because of its ease of accessibility,
and that of the two proposed Dryden sites, Dryden Site I had the best
possibilities, as to the portion or portions of Site I, this was the Trustees'
decision
Chairman Bower thanked Mr Mann and Mr Liguori for their pre-
sentation
Mi Ralph Carpenter, owner of Carpenter's Backhoe and Dozer
Service, appeared before the Board regarding posting of county roads
by the Highway Superintendent, that he has to use to run his trucks on

Education Committee, County Attorney, and Mr Carpenter to try to
resolve this matter

ning according to schedule He also noted the county takes over the
Ithaca College Complex on June 16 Various tenants have been notified

Farinella, Vice President of Ithaca College, regarding the renting of the

Mr Marcham, Human Rights, stated the matter of hiring a Human

mittee Because of the lengthy discussion about the Community College

ing

On Motion, meeting adjourned to Wednesday, June 11, at 10 00 a m
Mr Abbott, Chairman of the Special Negotiating Committee, received
the approval of the majority of the Board, meeting in Executive Session,
to forward the following committee recommendation on the distribution
of Sales Tax Revenues to the City of Ithaca in reply to their correspon-
dence dated June 6 stating their intent to enact a City Sales Tax if no
agreement was reached between the County and City by June 25, 1969
The Special Committee on sales taxes of the Board of Supervisors did
meet with the Special Committee of the Common Council of the City of
Ithaca on the 10th day of May 1969, at which meeting the City Commit-
tee requested that the Board of Supervisors give to the Ithaca City Go,-
ernment $1,200,000 to $1,300,000 of sales tax revenues for the year 1970,
said figure representing what they called to be "their fair share "
Your committee met later in the month and thoroughly discussed
the matter, which discussion resulted in the following
1 The County sales tax was passed by this Board on November 28,
1966 by resolution 256a as amended The amendment made it perfectly
clear that said tax was to be used as "a substitute for rather than an
addition to the real estate tax "
In the year 1968, at the request of the Ithaca City Government, com-
mittees from both governing bodies met to consider whether or not the
County Board should give to the Ithaca Government a portion of the
proceeds of sales tax
Discussions by both units led to an agreed upon understanding that
the proper approach for the use of the sales tax monies which would be
most beneficial to all citizens and taxpayers of the city and county as a
whole would be for the county to assume more services and functions
carried on by the City of Ithaca government (and other governing units
in the county) rather than actually splitting the monies An agreement
was then reached by a majority of those present that for the year 1969
ONLY, the county would give the sum of $500,000 to the City of Ithaca
(and an equal sum to the towns, of course) .
Such a resolution was passed May 13, 1968 as resolution no 113 The
vote was not unanimous
164 June 9, 1969
2 Since then, the County has assumed many and has made definite
moves to assume still more of the following services
a County Library— The building of the County Library and the as-
sumption of the costs of operation This relieved city government of
about $11/2 million of building costs plus about $40,000 annually of the
city government contribution towards operating expenses of the library
b Assessments—By charter enactment, the county assumes all of the
assessment functions of the city (plus towns) thereby relieving City
Government of thousands of dollars annually from all city budgets
starting January 1, 1970
c Public Water Supply — The county completed a municipal water
supply study for the entne county, city included The study by Metcalf
and Eddy suggested as a long range solution using Cayuga Lake as the
source of supply It is understood that if the city supplied with drinking
water only those areas it now serves, that by 1975 at the latest the city
would be in trouble water wise so that immediate steps must be com-
menced now for interim solutions to cover the city and contiguous
county areas for the next 10 to 15 years Right now through its planning
department, the County of Tompkins is working with the City of Ithaca
and Lansing water district no 1 to arrive at such solutions with a view
to setting up a county water district Steps taken now are for engineering
answers as to what additional sources to use and after this is determined,
the governing units will meet to set up the steps for the County District
and costs thereof This is going on now
d Refuse Disposal — In June 1967 Tompkins County applied for a
comprehensive solid waste study for the entire county Although the ap-
plication was approved, state funds were never made available However,
the county has started and before the year ends the study and report on
refuse disposal in the entire county will be completed and will form
the basis for active county government participation in refuse disposal
throughout the county $100,000 has already been appropriated by this
board for land acquisition for such sites This will be of tremendous
value to the city as well as all of the towns
e Sewage Disposal— The County through its County Sewer Agency
has already appropriated funds for 1969 and will provide additional
funds for 1970 as may be necessary to provide engineering, legal and
administrative plans for a county sewer district which could and un-
doubtedly will involve Ithaca sewage treatment plant if that municipality
so desires
f County Planning — The Tompkins County planner has been ap-
pointed and staff is now being hired Here again, if the city so chooses,
its budget can be taken over to a large extent by the use of the county's
protesional staff As with all of the above, this too is a reality
June 9, 1969 165
g Other County Wide Services — All of the county health services are
provided by county government as well as welfare (including medicaid)
Moreover, the Community College is now a reality, and new and much
larger facilities will come into being in the future Certainly this is of
tremendous benefit to the city as well as the rest of the county There
are yet even other areas, but all cannot be done at once
So here we have a situation where the city government asked for and
received $500,000 for the year 1969 with the understanding that as the
county assumed more services the city would not need or demand sales
tax monies The above shows clearly that in the negotiations of 1968
and in giving the $500,000 last year to the city, the county acted in good
faith by positively moving in the areas shown above On the other hand
and in view of the above, city government, instead of eliminating its
demand for sales tax monies, has raised its demand by 160% or from
$500,000 to $1,300,000
This action makes it clear that no matter what services the county
takes over in any year, city government will undoubtedly make its de-
mand for funds or threaten to enact its own sales tax This has now
become obvious
3 The taxpayer in the City of Ithaca actually had to pay more money
for real estate taxes in 1969 because of the city government's demand
and receipt of $500,000 from the county For example If the $500,000
were not given to city government but instead said monies were applied
to lower the State and County tax, the tax rate per thousand of assessed
value paid by city taxpayers last January would have been $1 36 Instead
the rate had to be raised to $6 47 or an increase of $5 11 On the other
hand, city government lowered the city tax rate (to be paid this month)
from $20 00 per thousand to $16 50 per thousand, or a drop of $3 50
The difference between a raise in tax of $5 11 and a decrease of $3 50
is a net loss to the city taxpayer in the sum of $1 61 per thousand This
means, if your house in the City of Ithaca is assessed for $25,000, it cost
you $40 25 more in taxes because of the $500,000 given the city Even
more startling is the fact that city government admitted publicly at its
meeting on Wednesday, May 7, 1969 (as reported in the Journal May
8, 1969) that the chief reason for the reduction in the tax rate is the
fact that state aid to the city nearly doubled This means that without
this extra state aid youi city tax rate would in all probability have in-
creased We are interested in helping lighten the burden on the tax-
payeis and are not interested in trying to make governments look good
at the expense of the taxpayer for political or any other reasons
4 The city actually received $1,325,000 00 in 1969, not merely $500,000
This is based on the fact that of the $2,500,00 of sales tax revenues the
county applied against the county budget, 33% or $825,000 00 was foi
the benefit of the city, add $500,000 and the total is $1,325,000 00
166 June 9, 1969
5 If the city, and hence of necessity the towns, and the school district
were to share the revenues, money would be spread so thin that no
one would benefit, and yet the taxpayers would still be paying 6% on
purchases This would make the sales tax nothing but an additional
tax which is contrary to the Board's intent when the tax was enacted
Finally, the county assumed the responsibility of levying this un-
popular tax on the people We, therefore, feel we have the responsi-
bility to see that the proceeds are spent for the relief of the taxpayers
load We cannot do this by giving it to other governments to spend
same as they wish If one wishes the privilege of spending money, then
the same one has the responsibility of raising the money he wishes to
spend, and not take it from others
For all of the above reasons and others too numerous to mention, your
committee recommends that all sales tax revenues remain with the
Tompkins County Government, to be shared with no other governments
In this manner all taxpayers will benefit to the maximum extent possible

EXCUSED Supervisor Updike — 1
Members and guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance to the
Flag
Various committee chairmen reported as follows
Mr Menzies, County Scenic Roads Committee, announced each
Supervisor had on his desk a list of eight roads that had been selected
by the Committee as possible award winner and he requested the forms
be returned to him after designating their first five choices
Mr Holden, Highway, reported the committee had met jointly with
Mr Stevenson and Mr Carpenter in Attorney Williamson's office after
touring the roads Mr Stevenson had anticipated posting to trucks over 5
ton and a satisfactory agreement was reached between the parties so it is
unnecessary to post the roads
Mr Cortright, Social Services, announced that at a joint meeting with
the Civil Service and Salaries Committee procedures were agreed upon
and hopefully the position of Commissioner of Social Services would be
filled by August 1
Chairman Bower turned the floor over to Mr Culligan, Chairman of
the Special Site Committee, who spoke briefly on background of the
various problems faced in establishing a two -county sponsorship of a
community college He reported the recommendation of the Special
Site Committee on the location of the permanent college site is The
three-man committee voted two to one to oppose Dryden Site I of 400 A
as recommended by the Board of Trustees In favor of Dryden Site I,
Mr Culligan, Opposing Dryden Site I because of acquisition costs and
economic factors, Messrs Leary and Graves, and a letter has been
forwarded to Frank Taylor of Cortland to this effect Messrs Graves and
Leary announced their statements were on each Supervisors' desk
Chairman Bower announced the absent member of the committee, Mr
168 June 11, 1969
Updike, had related to him that he was strongly in favor of the Groton
area
Mr Liguori presented the proposed site through the use of charts and
explained the basic proposal in detail
A lengthy discussion was held in which Dr Holmes, Mayor Satterly,
and Karl Dates of the Groton area and Philip Demming, spokesman for
the five Dryden area residents present, participated in seeking informa-
tion and answers from representatives of the Board of Trustees of the
College as well as Supervisors Factors generally discussed, but not limited
to, concerned the use of land on Dryden Site I for athletic programs,
water and sewer locations and costs, accessibility of Dryden Site vs
Groton area, zoning, available allocated monies for the purchase of this
land plus state's share, economic growth of a college area, and excessive
acreage
Mrs Florence Rumph, President of the Tompkins County Taxpayers'
Association, stated the Board of Directors, and those members contacted,
heartily endorse the Groton Site (either site) and feel Groton would
recognize growth from the college, the economy of the Groton Site is im-
portant to all the taxpayers, and Dryden is already suffering growing
pains and problems of the community college growth should not be
added to these problems
Mr Thaler as a member of the Board of Trustees Site Committee
stated that basically the discussion centers around economics and educa-
tion However, it is a question of use in selecting a permanent site and
the Board of Trustees believe the Dryden Site can be fully utilized
for the next hundred years and they are not confident the same would
be true in Groton based on advice from the consultant and the state
It is felt accessibility determines the growth of the College
Supervisor Graves projected with 900 students using today's figures,
Tompkins County's share of the operating costs by 1974 will be
$300,000, if projected to 3,000 students this would mean an estimated
million dollars Supervisor Cortright pointed out the possibility of
$30,000 to $40,000 turned back on their operating budget this year
Mr Culligan requested a recess to allow time for Mr Griffin to appear
at the meeting, and the Chairman declared a brief recess, the meeting
reconvened shortly thereafter
RESOLUTION NO 133 — Approval of Site—Tompkins-Cortland
Community College
Mr Culligan offered the following resolution and moved its adoption -
WHEREAS, the Trustees of the Tompkins -Cortland Community College
have recommended to the Board of Supervisors of Tompkins County and
June 11, 1969 169
Cortland County, That Dryden Site No 1 as shown on the site plan orig-
inally submitted to the Boards of Supervisors located on the East side of
Route 13 but excluding the property owned by Sisco originally included in
the original proposal, and
WHEREAS, the cost of said site is $250,000, and
WHEREAS, said site consists of approximately 400 acres, now therefore
be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of said Trustees of the Community
College, That the Tompkins County Board of Supervisors approve the
acquisition of the 400 acre tract of land known as Dryden Site No 1 as a
permanent site of the Tompkins -Cortland Community College at a cost of
$250,000, the monies for said acquisition being available in the Community
College Budget,
RESOLVED, further, That said acquisition is contingent on the approval
of same by the State of New York,
RESOLVED, further, That said acquisition is contingent on same being
approved by the Board of Supervisors of Cortland County,
RESOLVED, further, That the Clerk of the Board forward a certified
copy of this resolution to the Board of Supervisors of Cortland County and to
the President of the Tompkins -Cortland Community College

*Statement No 1 — "Anything in excess of 150 acies is not needed
The upkeep on 400 acres would be prohibitive The County should not
get into the Real Estate Business Accessibility being the only negative
factor against either Groton site, is one thing I cannot accept as reason-
able in this day and age The dollar spread between the proposed site
$510,000 and the Groton business site $140,000 is too great I cannot
with a clear conscience justify the difference $370,000 is a lot of taxpayer
hide If the Cortland -Dryden area is going to grow automatically, is it
not justified to place the community college in an area that is not so for-
tunate economically, as has been stated so often in these meetings con-
cerning Groton My main concern is, what can Tompkins County afford
today, tomorrow, 20 and 50 years from now Visions of grandeur, such as
3,000 students, our share of a 3 million dollar operating budget,
($750,000 00) and 5 million dollars or so, as our share of the buildings
The 1969 uncollected state and county taxes returned to the County
Treasurer for collection amounts to $170,199 10 which is 5 8% of the
total levied, how much more can you pile on My vote is has to be no
I cannot see logic in this kind of thinking "
**Statement No 2 — "I am opposed to Site #1 at Dryden for the
following reasons First — Excessive acreage The State of New York
170 June 11, 1969
Dept of Education says 100 acres or more Why do we have to purchase
such a large site? Of the 23 community Colleges in New York State, only
five have more than 200 acres Ithaca College with all its facilities and
2700 students have around 240 acres Maintenance of the land in excess
of what is actually needed would be an item of some consequence
Second — The cost of the site is real expensive in comparison to some
other sites I could not justify to the taxpayers of Tompkins County
why I would vote for this site when they would have to pay two thirds
of the cost If purchased at the price quoted, more money than originally
planned would have to be raised for the construction and expansion of
the College, and that means mole taxes I know that I as a taxpayer, and
the people of Tompkins County are very conscious of additional taxes
Third — The proximity of a trailer park west of the site does not add to
the aesthetics of the surroundings I am fearful of the possibility of too
much commercialism around the site, even though it has been said that
trees and shrubs would be planted to obscure the park Fourth — Zoning
has not been approved, and if it does not pass, an eager developer might
surround the college site with low cost housing units and other com-
mercial enterprises It is essential to a college that this possibility should
not happen Fifth — I believe that a hard look should be made of the
Groton sites, the Carey Place and the Old Stage Road site Accessibility
seems to be one of the iesaons for the Dryden site Has the problem of
tiansportation to the present school reflected in the registration? In this
auto age four or five miles difference in the locations would not be of
much consequence If the College is moved to Dryden, how soon would
the present school be phazed out? It would not be very economical to do
this "
The discussion continued, and the excess acreage seemed to be the
prime reason for rejection At Mr Lee's suggestion, Mr Culligan called
for a straw vote to be taken to determine the number of acres that would
be acceptable to the majority, such as the North Site only It was pointed
out this should not be limited to the Dryden Site, as location is also a
Tactor Mr Lee withdrew his request for Mr Culligan to call for a straw
vote
Discussion followed as to future procedures, the deadline date for sub-
mission to the State being June 17, their last meeting before September
Mr Lee requested the Chairman to arrange a joint meeting of the Boards
of Supervisors of Cortland and Tompkins Counties The question of the
State approving a site in Groton was brought up and Mr Thaler stated
he did not have this in writing but a State Education Department Official
had indicated to the Board of Trustees the only area they were interested
in was the Dryden area
Several supervisors voiced their opinions regarding confusion in their
minds as to the effect the statement of the state official had on their
decision in selecting the site

RESOLUTION NO 144 — Requesting New York State Office o f
Planning Coordination to Include
Tompkins County in the Central New York
OPC Region Instead of the Southern Tier
East Region
Mr Abbott offered the following resolution and moved its adoption.
WHEREAS, the New York State Office of Planning Coordination present-
ly includes Tompkins County in the Southern Tier East Regional Area includ-
ing Tompkins, Tioga, Broome, Chenango, Otsego and Delaware Counties,
and
WHEREAS, a re-evaluation indicates that it is not within the best in-
terests of Tompkins County to be part of the Southern Tier East OPC
Region, and
WHEREAS, the interests of Tompkins County and neighboring counties
can best be served if Tompkins County is associated with the Central New
York Region including Oswego, Cayuga, Onondaga, Madison and Cortland
Counties for the following reasons
1 Tompkins County has more interaction with Cortland County than any
other neighboring county Separation of the two counties into different
regions is not within the best interests of either county
2 Tompkins County has more interaction with the Syracuse Metropoli-
tan Area than the Binghamton Metropolitan Area The corridors for
development in Tompkins County toward the Cortland and Syracuse
Area is already apparent and will continue at an accelerated rates in
the future On the other hand, the southern portion of Tompkins County
has considerably Tess potential for growth and borders essentially rural
sections of northern Chemung and Tioga Counties with also low poten-
tial for growth It is therefore evident that interaction to the south will
be considerably less than the potential to the north
2 There is an increased trend toward regionalization of State and other
agencies to include Tompkins County in a Syracuse area affiliation
This includes the Department of Transportation, Department of Health
and Department of Social Services Furthermore, the Tompkins County
Health Planning Council is leaning toward affiliation with the Syracuse
area group
4 Water Resource Planning in Tompkins County is primarily through
the Cayuga Lake Basin Board which is oriented toward the north
5 Air Resource planning is oriented toward the Syracuse Regional Office
of the New Yolk State Department of Health
6 The Appalachia Regional Conference will provide Tompkins County
with a means of participating in some planning to the south
7 The Planning Board of the City of Ithaca at its meeting on April 30,
1969, unanimously adopted a resolution approving in principle the idea
of affiliation with the Central New York Region
8 The Office of Regional Resources and Development at Cornell Univer-
sity favors affiliation of Tompkins County with the Central New York
Region
now therefore be it
RESOLVED, upon recommendation of the Planning and Public Relations
Committee and the Planning Director, That this board hereby petitions the
Office of Planning Coordination of the State of New York to include Tomp-
kins County in the Central New York Region of Planning Coordination
rather than the Southern Tiei East Region
RESOLVED, further, That the Clerk of the Board be and she hereby is
directed to forward a certified copy of this resolution to the Syracuse Of-
fice of Planning Coordination of the, State of New York
Seconded by Mr Leary Carried

RESOLUTION NO 145—Endorsement of Proceedzng with
Constructzon of Bell Statzon
Mr Abbott offered the following resolution and moved its adoption
WHEREAS, the Planning and Public Relations Committee of the Tompkins
County Board of Supervisors has carefully considered the recent statement of
William A Lyons, President of the New York State Electric & Gas Corpo-
ration in which he analyzes the local situation and outlines the reasons for
postponing the construction of Bell Station on Cayuga Lake, and
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors is the only elected local body that
is charged with protecting the public interest for the whole county and is
bound to examine all factors which tend to affect the economic groisth of
the community, and
WHEREAS, in the early stages of planning, most of the forces represent-
ing political, industrial and commercial enterprise areas urged the location of
the proposed nuclear plant be on Cayuga Lake in this county, and
WHEREAS, certain organized groups have sought to discredit the com-
pany with the result that a situation verging on panic exists making calm
and rational discussion almost impossible, and
WHEREAS, changes in design have been suggested by persons lacking
any competence in nuclear plant planning, and
WHEREAS, the Company has retained competent engineering and techni-
cal groups to pursue research that would contribute to the design of a plant
that will satisfy the following standard set in Mr Lyons' statement "From
the very outset, the Company assured the people in the area that it intended
to be a good neighbor—That Bell Station would be so designed and con-
structed as to avoid detriment to the environment— the people, animal and
plant life, Cayuga Lake and its aquatic life, and its usefulness for recrea-
tional purposes—or Bell Station would not be built," and
WHEREAS, Mr Lyons outlined the flexibility in the design which would
allow major adjustments including the construction of some type of cooling
towers if a critical situation made such items necessary, and
WHEREAS, the Company has acted openly and in good faith and deserves
better than innuendo, suspicion and a suggestion for research ad infinitum,
and
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors feels that an accommodation can be
reached so that not only Tomkins County but surrounding counties can bene-
fit from the tremendous economic impact of Bell Station and the whole com-
munity would not be deprived by a small well meaning group of a source of
revenue in taxes which would benefit everyone, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, upon recommendation of the Planning and Public Relations
Committee, That the Tompkins County Board of Supervisors, acting in the
interest of all the residents of Tompkins County, urges the New York State
Electric & Gas Corporation to reinstate its application with the Atomic Energy
Commission and the New York State Department of Health, renew its plan-
ning for Bell Station, and proceed with construction at the earliest possible
moment

Mr Menzies offered the following resolution and moved its adoption.
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Scenic Roads Committee has nominated

Tompkins County, and
WHEREAS, said nominations are to be forwarded to the State Natural
Beauty Commission, and
WHEREAS, these recommendations will be used by the State and com-
bined in a scenic highway map to promote tourism, will be a guide line for
the expenditure of funds available for planning, and the State Legislature
will be requested by the Commission to provide funds for improving these
scenic areas along the state highways, now therefore be it

Mr Abbott, Planning and Public Relations, read the report of the
Tompkins County Water Committee on the Comprehensive Water
Supply Study as made by Consultants Metcalf and Eddy, to wit
"This is the Committee report on the Comprehensive Water Supply
Study of Tompkins County which was given to the members of the
Board several months ago At the time of presentation, this committee
stated that its recommendations concerning the use of the report would
be forthcoming
The consultants, Metcalf and Eddy, were paid by the New York State
Department of Health at the request of the Tompkins County Board of
Supervisors The report concerns only the drinking water supply prob-
lems for the various areas within the county and says nothing about such
things as flood control, soil erosion or impounding of water for purely
recreational use Most of the information given in the report was collected
from various official sources and is believed to be reliable The point
made here is that no significant original information was developed as
the result of field tasks or observations
Much of the report is devoted to the water supply problems to be faced
by the City of Ithaca in the next 50 years The City now depends upon
Six Mile Creek as its principal source with the possibility of wells in the
old water supply area in the Inlet section being restored to operation and
thus augmenting the supply for the next 10 or 15 years The study goes
along with this solution for the near future, but it diverges when it
comes to thinking about the year 2020 The report recommends the
development of Cayuga Lake which the City would develop with the idea
of supplying most of the suburbs surrounding the City According to
their estimates, this plan is a little cheaper than the development of Six
Mile Creek which would require a large dam upstream from the present
"60 -foot Dam"
242 October 13, 1969
After detailed investigation and study and consideration, this com-
mittee makes the following statements
1 Upland sources of water can presently provide a higher quality
of water supply after treatment and can be protected as a source more
easily than Cayuga Lake
2 Upland sources will reduce pumping costs
3 Upland souices are usually above any sewage disposal plant that
would discharge effluent into these sources
4 Upland souices are the logical places to start flood control plans
5 A multi-purpose (water supply, flood control and recreation) dam
built in an upland area can be developed to provide an attractive recre-
ational facility
Your committee recommends that all long-range plans for developing
water supply within our Count, be based on utilizing our excellent exist-
ing upland sources Unfortunately, the study contains no information
on the location multi-purpose structures because it was not in their
contract to investigate this area However, the report does locate some
dams that would be used mainly for water supply and these could be
enlarged to include flood control and recreational tacilities
The Committee feels that water supply cannot be considered by itself
as any time a plentiful supply of water is given to a community, a large
amount of sewage is created and the disposal of this is a basic item that
cannot be Ignored The Committee draws yore attention to Fall Creek
and Six Mile Creek which can be developed to have a dependable flow
throughout the year and they do have a potential of supplying the
water for the southern end of the county These creeks will lose their
potential it a considerable number of small communities, such as Free-
ville and others, are allowed to build small disposal plants and dump
the effluent into them This Committee feels that the clay is approaching
when small communities will find it wise and economical to pump their
sewage to a control plant operated either by the county or a sewer author-
ity at some central location, and the committee points out that with the
fact that two sewer plants now are dumping effluent into Cayuga Lake
and as communities grow, this volume will increase to the point where
Cayuga Lake is not suitable for public water supply One little item that
the Committee world point out right now is that upland water in Six
Mile Creek contains six or seven parts per million (PPN) compared
with Cayuga Lake which is about 110 parts per million of sodium chloride
(common salt)
The Committee does not want to convey the impression that the study
has no value The report contains a tremendous amount of informa-
October 13, 1969 243
tion that will be very useful when the time comes for making definite
plans for controlling and managing our water resources in the county
The sites that the study selects tor clams and such things are located on
the basis of engineering studies and can be considered reliable
One final remark that the Committee will make, and it is important,
is as follows Mr Bishop, the project engineer for the consultant, stated
that it outside help such as Federal money would become available to
construct some clams throughout the county and especially on Six Mile
Cieek, the whole situation would change and he would recommend that
Cayuga Lake be abandoned and the upland sources be developed "
Also, the County Water Committee made these following factual state-
ments and iecommendecl the following proposal as an immediate solu-
t on to this pioblem
"The City selves 25 water districts of varying sizes, varying pressures,
many of which are dependent on other districts for pressures and often
lot transmission
All districts depend on the City and many on the Village for pressure
and transmission In fact, it would be logical to say that the more
populous the district, the more likely it is that that district is dairying
several othei s on its back
The areas that are most vacant ale the ones that will benefit the most
by additional water supply, 01 to put it another way, new customers, will
Help spend the tax base of a pal tly vacant district but will not help much
in fully occupied districts
PROPOSAL
I A County T'T7atei Dish act be formed comprising existing contiguous
chsu icts (see later thoughts on what about non-contiguous spots (New -
f field, Trumansburg, Groton, Dryden, etal )
2 The City, acting for the County, can expand its system to what -
eve) extent is necessm y to supply enough water for everyone whether by
new darn, wells, lake intake or whatever with money supplied by the
County Water Dish act for the expansion and the mains and tank, and/or
pumps being local district responsibility as always, except that a
mutual or overall benefit such as attached 5 -million gallon tank and
master pumping mains would be built by the City organization again
with money from the County Water District
3 County Water Dish act monies would come from ad valorum assess-
ments against individual districts on a level se basis, the mote assessed
value in the district, the less will be the tax for water expansion on the
theory expressed in Paragraph 3 above that the more vacant the district
the more they need additional water
244 October 13, 1969
4 Expansions to non-contiguous areas can be handled in exactly the
same manner using the nucleus of an existing operation (Newfield, Tru-
mansbuig, Groton, etc) in the same manner that is proposed to use the
City oiganization The City organization could be utilized on a reim-
bursing basis "
Mr Abbott requested this report and proposal be referred to com-
mittee for further consideration A discussion followed during which
Vincent P Hannan participated It was MOVED by Mr Marcham,
seconded by Mr Dates, and Carried, That the short-term solution be
referred to the Planning and Public Relations Committee and Planning
Director for recommendation to the Board by 12/31/69 and the long-
range plan be referred to the same committee with recommendation
by 6/30/70
The meeting was recessed and the Clerk read the Notice of Public
Hearing on Local Law No 5 About 40 sales representatives appeared
from vanous companies such as Avon Products, Inc and Stanley Home
Products, etc Attorney Williamson noted he had been contacted regard-
ing this pioposed Local Law and noted he had revised this ordinance and
it would be necessary to ieadvertise and hold another Public Hearing at a
later date A lengthy discussion followed atter which it was agreed that
the Cleik advertise for another Public Hearing to be held November 10
In the meantime, an amended Local Law would be drafted by Attorney
Wiliamson and laid on the desks of the Supervisors pursuant to law
There being no further comments, Chairman Bower declared the hearing
closed at 11 30 a m and the Board Meeting reconvened, whereupon
Chairman Bower declared a short recess for requested committee meet-
ing
Business resumed at 11 50 and Mr Abbott, Chairman of the Civil
Service and Salaries Committee and the Board's Negotiating Committee
submitted the following written statement on the Agreement reached
with the employees' Negotiating Committee, to wit
"Your negotiating committee held several sessions with the negotia-
tion committee of the employees, and after seeing tittle progress, felt that
an impasse was pending, wrote to our Public Employee Relation Board
asking it to investigate to determine whether or not an impasse did
intact exist This was clone and an impasse was declared by said PERB
to exist Said board then appointed a mediator who, after several sessions
with both sides, was unable to mediate a settlement
The call was then issued by the PERB for a fact finder and one Irving
Maikowitz was the choice Two sessions were held by Mr Markowitz in
an attempt at more mediation and negotiations with a view to reaching
a settlement without the necessity of fact finding
On Wednesday, October 1, 1969, the aforementioned second meeting
October 13, 1969 245
was held commencing at 2 00 p m An agreement was REACHED by both
Negotiating Committees at about 6 15 p m
The agreement is as follows
1 Each qualified employee is to receive his annual increment pursuant
to the present contract
2 In addition, each qualified employee is to receive a 4% increase
or $350 00 whichever is higher
Example I -An employee presently at the minimum of Labor Grade
3 is now receiving an annual salary of $4150 00 For 1970 he will advance
to step A or $4316 plus 4% of the minimum of that grade (the 4% in
that grade being $166 00) or $350 00 So this individual will receive in
1970 the following $4316 (step A) plus $350 00 or a total annual
salary of $4666 00 as compared to $4150 in 1969 or a total annual in-
crease of $516 00
Example II An employee at the minimum of Labor Grade 15 is now
receiving $9250 He would go to Step A or $9620 plus 4% of the minimum
of that grade or $350 00 whichever is greater In this case, the 4% amounts
to $370 00 so this individual would receive $9620 plus $370 00 or a
total of $9990 as compared to $9250 in 1969 or a total increase of $740
for the year
In effect, this agreement disrupts the horizontal aspect of the chart
(exhibit C) but does not effect the vertical aspects However, with the
advent of the Taylor Law calling for salary negotiations, such a chart
actually becomes useless from the horizontal standpoint, and it appears
that it should be dispensed within the future "
Discussion followed and Mr Marcham asked if this agreement would
wipe out the merit system and Mr Abbott stated this was the reason for
the working "qualified" employees and therefore this does not wipe out
the merit system
Mr Graves, speaking under piivilege of the floor, brought to the
attention of the Supeivisors the news publicity on the Director of Human
Relations and pointed out it was necessary for them to try the part-time
director before a true evaluation of the workload could be made Also,
he felt consideration should be given the applications already received
Mr Marcham responded stating the committee had asked the Chairman
of the Commission to attempt to recruit a director on a part-time basis
and the committee is recommending the appropriation to be for part-
time director in the 1970 budget The understanding was that if a part-
time person could not handle the workload they could come back for re-
evaluation of the position at that time
Mr Abbott, under privilege of the floor, read the following written
statement
246 October 13, 1969
"While a study is now under way on new hospital or no, I feel it appro-
priate now that a concurrent study should be made by the Health Com-
mittee as to whether or not the county should get out of the hospital
business and convert our hospital into a private, non-profit, volunteer
hospital I request this for the following reasons
I I have always believed that governments should provide those
services and only those services that are essential for the public's health,
welfare, and well being, which services cannot or will not be properly
supplied by private individuals or organizations The health field is no
exception Today we are witnessing government moving into fields
which remain private For example, in Syracuse, a city of well over 200,000
people, the Syracuse Chiefs Baseball Team has been subsidized by the
city taxpayers, only about 2000 of whom go to the baseball games
We all moan about high taxes at all levels The only way the line is
going to be held on taxes is by governments refraining from taking on
more and more services but instead, where feasible, let the private sector
take over This is the only way
2 It you will recall a short while ago the Mayor's Citizens Advisory
Committee ventured into fields beyond the city government jurisdiction
and the hospital was one of them Their report, which no doubt was
made under supervision of Sloan Institute, criticized this Board stating,
among other things, that we were power hungry insofar as the hospital
is concerned Accidentally, this summer, 1 ran into Douglas Brown, the
chief of the institute In answer to my inquiry as to what was meant by
the "power hungry" statement, he stated that we are unwilling to give
up the hospital as a governmental unit and allow the hospital to become
a private, non-profit volunteer one He added, in effect, that municipal
(governmental) hospitals were a thing of the past, that of the few that are
in operation, such as ours, some are now in the process of being converted
to the private status and that any hospital today that did not operate in
the black was not worthy to remain a hospital
I was indeed pleasantly surprised at his statements and assured him
that I was completely in agreement with his views as they were certainly
in agreement with my philosophy of government as I have explained
above I added, however, that as long as the hospital remained a county
opci ation, we as supervisors were going to continue to exercise our
responsibilities as required by law He agreed with this
I Finally, though of lesser importance, we all know that in the past
this board has been criticized from both within and without the various
Boards of Managers and within and without the medical profession to the
ellect that we do not know anything about a hospital and that in exercis-
ing our legal responsibilities we have been a drag on the operation,
implying of course that we dict know how to operate same
October 13, 1969 247
So, Mr Chairman, I request that this board direct the Health Com-
mittee to conduct a study of the feasibility of converting the hospital from
a governmental institution to a private, non-profit volunteer hospital
I fur ther request that the committee during the course of the study seek
the advice of any and all informed individuals and groups both within
and without county and state governments I suggest that the com-
mittee's first contact be with Douglas Brown and his institute and the
medical profession
I wish to make it clear, however, that I am not talking about a hospital
authority I shall never support such a proposition I mean the county
could be out of the hospital business and the hospital would become as
it once was, a privately operated unit such as the overwhelming major-
ity of them are (Robert Packer, Cortland, Auburn, Lady of Lourdes,
\'Vilson Memorial, etc)
It is conceivable that the community as a whole and those more
closely connected with this field will not respond to this idea In this
eNent, the hospital will remain a governmental operation and all will
know for sure and will of necessity be agreeing that the ultimate responsi-
bility for the hospital is this board and that the board will always carry
out its responsibilities as the laws of this state dictate
On the other hand, if the citizenry does favorably respond, then at that
time we take all necessary steps to make this a reality I for one would
be very pleased because 1 feel it is time that the tide turned so that instead
of governments taking on more and more services from the private sec-
tor they start turning some of these services back to the private sector
There is no better time to conduct this study than now — along with
the study of whether or not there should be a new hospital "
Chanman Bower declared his decision on this matter would be de-
layed to allow time for consideration before charging a committee to
piocccd with this study as requested in the statement
inti Culligan suggested Mr Heidt be considered as an appointee for
County Historian and Mi Hurlbut noted Lois O'Connor was the per-
son suggested by the Historical Society and a written recommendation

At this time Mr Liguori, County Planning Director, submitted the

by his department
282 November 10, 1969
FINDINGS
Intioductzon
Proper refuse collection and disposal are essential community services
necessary to prevent nuisances, health hazards, and pollution of the en-
vironment
Solid wastes is a general term which includes the total solid wastes
of a community It is otten used synonymously with refuse Ordinary
refuse is the term used to describe the routine solid wastes produced
in residences and commercial establishments and includes garbage (food
wastes) and rubbish (dry material such as paper, cans, bottles and other
materials)
Ti ash represents all other kinds of solid wastes originating in the
community It includes plant and tree parts, bulky objects including
household furniture and appliances, industrial solid wastes, building
demolition, and contractors' wastes It does not include cars and trucks
The population of Tompkins County is increasing at a rate of about
2% per year In 1966 the population was 66,164 Population pro-
jections indicate growth to well over 80,000 by 1970, an increase of at
least 21% m 10 years In comparison, the increase for the state as a
whole is estimated at 1 2% per year This is indicative of rapid growth
in the county
The production of refuse is directly related to population and is in-
fluenced by a healthy, expanding economy On an average, refuse pro-
duction in the county is at a rate of about 9/10 of a ton per person per
year This will increase to one ton by the year 1980
In addition, it is estimated that perhaps 5,000 major household ap-
pliances and as many as 1,000 automobiles are discarded each year
Furthermore, it is becoming increasingly more difficult to dispose of
unwanted trees and stumps and demolition materials These bulky
items will require special attention as they create special disposal prob-
lems
Storage of Refuse
Refuse storage on individual piemises is of public concern but is
essentially a responsibility of the owner or occupant Practices vary with
individuals from acceptable to totally unacceptable
Collection of Refuse
Direct municipal collection is provided by the City of Ithaca and the
Village of Cayuga Heights This includes about 42% of the county
November 10, 1969 283
The Villages of Trumansburg, Dryden, Freeville, and the community
Renwick Heights provide for refuse collection through contractual ar-
rangements with private contractors Groton franchises a private col-
lector to cover the village This includes about 8% of the county
Private collection service is essentially available throughout the rest
of the county and some 6,000 households and businesses arrange for this
service This represents 25% of the county
It is estimated that about 25% of the household units in the county
dispose of their own refuse independently
The Tompkins County Sanitary Code requires that anyone engaged
in the business of collecting refuse for disposal must obtain a permit
from the County Department of Health There are 16 active permits
Of these 16, 2 are municipal corporations, and 2 are institutional in
character One collects garbage only for feeding to hogs One collects
meat scraps for rendering The remaining 10 permits are issued to pri-
vate collectors Four of the 10 operate on a full-time basis with approved
packer -type enclosed trucks and provide perhaps 95% of the total
private service The remaining are small part-time operators serving
commercial interests
Disposal of Refuse
There are 8 active refuse disposal sites now operating within the
county All municipal corporations either provide a refuse site or have
arranged for use of a recuse site through a contractual arrangement with
other municipalities or with private contractors A summary of the ar-
rangements are as follows
Town of Ulysses — arrangement with private contractor
Village of Trumansburg — arrangement with private contractor
Town of Enfield — town operated disposal site
Town of Newfield — town operated disposal site
Town of Lansing — town operated disposal site
Town of Ithaca — arrangements with the City of Ithaca
Village of Cayuga Heights — arrangement with City of Ithaca
City of Ithaca — city operated disposal site
Town of Danby — town operated disposal site
Town of Groton and Village of Groton — jointly operated disposal site
Town of Dryden — arrangement with private contractor
Village of Dryden — arrangement with private contractor
Village of Freeville — arrangement with private contractor
Town of Caroline — town operated disposal site
Collins' Disposal Site — operated privately but also serving the people
of the Town of Dryden, Village of Freeville, community of Renwick
Heights, formerly the Village of Cayuga Heights and the refuse from
about 6,000 collection points serviced by Collins Many other people
and firms use the site without permission
284 November 10, 1969
Cornell University is served by private collectors who use the Collins'
site or an out-ot-County site Some Cornell refuse reaches the Ithaca
City site
Ithaca College provides its own collection and uses the City site
None of the sites in the county are operated in accordance with re-
quirements of Part 19 of the New York State Sanitary Code * All are
operated as typical open -face refuse dumps with all the associated
nuisances, health hazards, odors, flies, and rodent problems All sites
burn refuse periodically, intentionally or unintentionally, some more
than others and all create air pollution and nuisances over a consider-
able area in the vicinity Open burning of refuse is a direct violation of
Pai t 190 of the State Air Pollution Control Laws
The State and County Departments of Health are temporarily with-
holding action pending completion of this study and report and imple-
mentation of a program which will meet the needs of the people and
the requirements of the law The State Department of Health has em-
barked upon a rigid enforcement program and is determined to main-
tain the integrity of the program
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Storage of Refuse
Since refuse storage is essentially an individual responsibility, but
one of public concern, there is need for continual public education to
acquaint people with proper refuse storage However, public education
alone cannot do the job There is need for uniform regulations with
effective enforcement, at both the local and county level, with coordina-
tion, leadership and a dominated role by the County Health Depart-
ment The Report will contain suggested regulations for adoption by
municipalities and the County Health Department
Collection and Transportation of Refuse
Generally speaking, refuse collection practices are reasonably satis-
factory At the present time, each municipality arranges for such collec-
tion as may meet the desires and needs of the people All incorporated
municipalities, except Groton (V) provide municipal collection or con-
tract with private collectors for municipal -wide service The rest of the
county is served optionally by piivate collectors The service is gen-
erally satisfactory and the cost to householders, commercial establish-
ments, and industry is within reason
As time goes on, some municipalities now served by private collectors
by contract may find it advantageous to provide municipal collection
Also, some towns may wish to franchise collectors or contract with col-
lectors for town -wide service in the future This is a matter for deter-
mination by each mumcipahty
November 10, 1969 285
Private collectors are not now generally franchised (except in the
Village of Groton) but operate freely throughout the county This pro-
motes competition but is inefficient Although county -wide franchising
is not recommended at this time, franchising at the town level shows
advantages and should be considered
It is recommended that the County Health Depaitment continue with
the present permit requirement system and strengthen control and
surveillance This will provide for a central registration of all collec-
tors, including both private and public agencies, and ensure that equip-
ment, collection and transportation meet acceptable standards
Inteimunicipal cooperation in providing collection service on a county-
wide or multi -municipal basis is not indicated at the present time but may
be of value in the future Since the number of refuse disposal sites recom-
mended for operation is considerably less than the number now in use,
some people who now haul their own refuse for disposal may be some-
what inconvenienced by the longer hauls This will undoubtedly result
in a tendency toward more and more service by private collectors When
private collection service in the mole populous towns reaches about 75%
coverage, it may be advantageous to consider ftanchismg town -wide col-
lection on a contract basis with a collector or municipal collection
Bulk transportation of iefuse from selected transfer stations to the
i eluse disposal sites shows cet tarn advantages and is considered in the
Report as alternate proposals Inter -municipal cooperation in the oper-
ation of some of these facilities is indicated
Refuse Disposal Methods
Investigations of the current acceptable methods of refuse disposal
clearly indicates that the sanitary landfill method is the most economical
and feasible for Tompkins County at this time The sanitary landfill
method utilizes well established engineering principles to
1) select land suitable for such operation taking into account all factors
involved,
2) deposit iefuse on the land under a prearranged plan to confine the
refuse to the smallest practical areas,
3) reduce the volume by compaction to the smallest amount practical,
and to
4) cover the compacted refuse with a layer of earth at the conclusion
of each day's operation
The sanitary landfill method incorporates built-in controls against
odors, vermin, smoke, air pollution, water pollution and nuisances in
general
286 November 10, 1969
New methods of disposal are presently in the developmental stage at
various demonstration studies in the country Two in particular show
promise for the future and provisions are incorporated in the Report
foi utilization of these methods in the future if costs and other factors
become more attractive These are the intermediary steps of milling or of
baling of refuse before disposal at a sanitary landfill Advantages are
that the identity of recuse is changed to increase acceptability, the volume
is markedly reduced, and land requirements are minimized
Alternate Proposals for Refuse Disposal Sites
Seveial alternate proposals have been developed in the Report rang-
ing from one sanitary landfill for the entire county to four sites with
alternate combinations Basic site locations are as follows
—Prime site in the northeastern quadrant of the county
—Prime site at the border of Tompkins and Tioga Counties This site is
immediately available and the owner is willing to consider lease or
operation by contract
—Satellite site in the southeastern extreme area of the county
—Satellite site in the west -central area of the county
The prime sites are designed for six days' operation per week while
the satellite sites may be operated from one to three days per week
depending upon the need for service
Other alternates consider the use of collection and transfer stations
whereby refuse from direct -haul vehicles is dumped into a hopper and
epacked into trailer trucks for transportation to the refuse site Ad-
vantages are thus realized in reducing direct -haul costs and in reducing
traffic in the vicinity of sanitary landfill disposal sites Furthermore, the
transfer station may be used as a point for temporary disposal of refuse
to serve adjacent towns, thus eliminating the need for satellite sites
This will reduce total costs and make service available to outlying com-
munities on a six clay per week basis rather than one to three days per
week as contemplated for satellite sanitary landfill sites
Recommendations for the operation of each site will be presented
in the Report including special separate areas at sites for the disposal
of bulky refuse such as demolition materials, trees, stumps, cars, and
large appliances
Consideration has been given to cooperative use of sites by munici-
palities adjoining Tompkins County and recommendations are incorpor-
ated n the Report
Two of the alternates stand out as the most feasible for Tompkins
County to meet the needs of the people at reasonable costs Both are
November 10, 1969 287
presented at this time for continued evaluation and discussion They
are as follows
A Two prime sanitary landfill sates and a collection and transfer
station as follows
1) A prime site to be opeiated six days per week and located in
the northeastern quadrant of the county to serve the general
suirounding area including the Towns of Lansing, Groton,
Dryden, and a portion of the Town of Ithaca
2) A prime site to be operated six days per week and located
just into Tioga County at the border with the Town of
Danby This site is privately owned and there is opportunity
for County lease of the land with County operation
or a contractual arrangement with the owner for operation
Details on specific arrangements will be in the Report This
site will genei ally serve the City of Ithaca, portions of the
Town of Ithaca, and the Towns of Caroline, Danby, Newfield,
Enfield, and Ulysses
3) A refuse collection and transfer station to be located in the
Ithaca City area and to be opeiated on a six day per week
basis The station will serve as temporary holding and transfer
point for chi ect-haul collection vehicles It will also serve as a
receiving station for local refuse from the City and the Towns
of Ulysses, Enfield, Ithaca, Caroline, and any other areas in the
immediate vicinity
Since the station will be open for opeiation six days per
week, it will piovide adequate service for these outlying areas,
eliminating the need for satellite sanitary landfill sites which
will be inefficient small operations and will be relatively ex-
pensive operations This proposal will require intermunicipal
coopeiation both in financing and in operation as it lowers
direct Haul costs thus reducing collection costs and also serves
as a disposal function The principle of separation of the re-
sponsibilities and costs of collection fiom the costs of disposal
can thus be maintained by proper and equitable distribution
of the costs
B Two pizme sanztaiy landfill sites and two satellite sanztaiy landfill
sites as follows
1) A prime site to be opeiated six clays pei week and located in
the northeastern quadrant of the county to serve the general
surrounding arca including the Towns of Lansing, Groton,
Dryden, and a portion of. the Town of Ithaca
2) One prime site to be operated six days a week and located in
Tioga County as explained in A This site will generally serve
the City of Ithaca, a poi tion of the Town of Ithaca, a poi tion
I
288 November 10, 1969
of the Town of Caroline, the Town of Danby, and the Town
of Newfield
3) A satellite site to be operated one or two days per week to be
located in the Town of Caroline to serve that town plus a
portion of the Town of Dryden
4) A satellite site to be operated two to three days per week to be
located in the Ulysses -Enfield area and to serve those towns
and possibly a portion of the Town of Ithaca
It is recommended that areas served by individual refuse disposal sites
not be delineated critically but that flexibility be maintained with a free-
dom of choice, within reason, for county residents in the use of any site
However, private and public collection vehicles should be more rigidly
controlled as to the point of disposal
Refuse Disposal Opeiattng Agency
All municipalities aie authorized under State law to operate refuse
disposal sites Municipalities are also empowered to act jointly to pro-
vide for refuse disposal
However, the ultimate in intermunicipal cooperation in a county is a
county -wide refuse district operated under the provisions of Article 5-A
of the County Law The advantages of a county -wide district are numer-
ous
1) Makes possible comprehensive study of the entire scope of solid
wastes disposal throughout the whole county without undue influence of
municipal boundaries The planning process can be a continuing one to
take advantage of changing conditions in the future
2) The county -wide approach encourages mutual trust by munici-
palities
3) Makes possible the selection of a few strategically and carefully
located sites without regard for municipal boundaries
4) Real economics can be realized by avoiding duplicate engineering,
equipment, labor, and administrative costs Thus, the unit costs of dis-
posal of larger volumes of refuse will be considerably less
5) Better operation is possible because of a broader base for funding,
planning, design, and supervision
6) There will be more flexibility in the operations and thus possibili-
ties are greater for the utilization of new techniques and methods of
November 10, 1969 289
disposal which will come about as a result of impressive studies, research,
and demonstration piolects currently underway throughout the country
7) Funding is simplified and equitable
8) The control of storage, collection, transportation, and disposal of
refuse will be uniform throughout the county piomoting efficiency
9) Refuse disposal is a service needed by all people and firms alike
Tlieiefore, all people in the county will benefit from the service
IT IS THEREFORE RECOMMENDED THAT REFUSE DIS-
POSAL BE OPERATED AS A COUNTY -WIDE FUNCTION BY
COUNTY GOVERNMENT UNDER THE COUNTY DEPART-
MENT OF PUBLIC WORKS AND THAT ALL MUNICIPALITIES
AND PERSONS NOW OPERATING REFUSE DISPOSAL SITES
TERMINATE SUCH OPERATIONS CONCURRENT WITH THE
COMMENCEMENT OF THE COUNTY OPERATION IN ACCORD-
ANCE WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE REPORT IT
IS FURTHER RECOMMENDED THAT THE COUNTY -OPERATED
SITES BE MADE AVAILABLE TO ALL PEOPLE IN THE COUNTY
INCLUDING MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS, PRIVATE COLLEC-
TORS, INSTITUTIONS, INDUSTRY, AND COMMERCE
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE COSTS OF OPERATION
OF SANITARY REFUSE DISPOSAL BE FINANCED (FOR THE
MOST PART) FROM GENERAL COUNTY FUNDING UTILIZING
THE EXISTING TAX STRUCTURES AND THAT NO SPECIAL
ASSESSMENTS OR TAXES BE LEVIED SPECIAL CHARGES
SHOULD BE KEPT AT A MINIMUM AND SHOULD BE RE-
SERVED FOR SPECIAL SERVICES AND FOR SERVICES TO NON -
MUNICIPAL, TAX-FREE INSTITUTIONS RECOMMENDATIONS
FOR SPECIAL CHARGES WILL BE INCORPORATED IN THE
REPORT
The following factors indicate the need for early implementation of
the pioposals in this Interim Report
1) All of the existing refuse sites in the county are currently oper-
ating in violation of Part 19 and Part 190 of the laws of the State of
New Yolk
2) Nuisances and health hazatcls surrounding each of the existing sites
are numerous and complaints are regularly registeied with the County
and State Health Depai tments
3) Actions by the County and State Health Department to "close"
the existing sites are pending and it is likely that legal actions will be
290 November 10, 1969
instituted soon if satisfactory arrangements are not forthcoming within
the immediate future
4) Several of the existing refuse sites have insufficient space remain-
ing to even continue bare minimum operations for any extended period
of time
IT IS THEREFORE RECOMMENDED THAT THE PROPOSALS
IN THIS INTERIM REPORT AND THE FINAL REPORT BE
IMPLEMENTED IN THE YEAR 1970
Final iecommendations on the choice between proposals A and B as
outlined in this Interim Report should await further evaluation of the
transfer station concept within the City of Ithaca Studies on the most
advantageous arrangement for operations of the south prime site (name-
ly, county operation versus contractual operation) is continuing and
recommendations will be forthcoming
COST ESTIMATES
The first year costs of operation must include funds for capital invest-
ments in land, equipment, and initial site development Land costs
cannot be precisely determined at this time Investigations on the avail-
ability of land is underway Other capital costs will vary somewhat be-
tween proposals A and B The gross cost estimates listed below are for
preliminary budget estimating and include sufficient funds to cover
either proposal More refined and detailed costs will be included in the
Report
First Year Costs (1970)
Land Costs $100,000
Other Capital Costs

November 10, 1969 291
It is iecommended that the County Board of Supervisors include the
first-year costs of $450,000 (including the $100,000 already allocated for
land) m the budget for 1970, and set these monies aside in an appro-
priate manner pending the submission of a complete itemized budget
under the County Department of Public Works at a later date

tive March 1st, which meeting the Finance Committee authorized him
to attend "That the City Clerk be directed to inform the Chairman of

is willing to rescind the 11/2% city sales tax law conditioned upon adop-
December 15, 1969 415
tion by the Board of Supeivisors, prior to December 17, 1969, of a resolu-
tion providing that the total local shale of sales tax revenues for 1970 be
shared in the following manner 20% to the City of Ithaca, 30% to the
towns of Tompkins County collectively, and 50% to the County Board of
Representatives and that future revision of the sharing formula be con-
sidered in the light of a result of a study of the proportion of total tax-
able sales in Tompkins County which probably would be taxable to
the City of Ithaca with the understanding that the City of Ithaca shall
have at least equal representation on any body which may arrange the
specifications and financing of such a study " Mr Dates stated that he
had requested the County Attorney to piepaie a iesolution of intent
Mr Dates read the proposed resolution that would be offered for the
Board's consideration and opened the floor for discussion of same by
the public and the members of the board
Florence Rumph, President of the Taxpayer's Association, read a pre-
pared statement in which the Association urged that the proposed 20-30-
50 sales tax distribution proposal not be adopted due to the increase it
would mean on real estate taxes tot city pioperty owners ($3 10 per
thousand) , Mi Weiskeiger front Rothschild Bios and Mr Foster frons
Montgomery Ward both spoke on behalf of their employers and the
merchants pointing out the additional bookkeeping a city sales tax would
impose on the merchants and urging the Board of Supervisors to adopt
the proposed resolution to avoid and eliminate the mark-up on mer-
chandise to absorb the additional operating costs, Mr Levy, Executive
Vice President of the Tompkins County Chanzbez of Commerce, re-
sponding to the anticipated increase of $3 10 to city taxpayers, stated
this was a guesstimate as it was based on anticipated revenue from city
sales tax of 1 1 million dollars and this estimated revenue figure hacl
been arrived at by state officials by including all merchants with an
Ithaca address whether they were located within the city limits or not
He raged the adoption of this proposed resolution, Mr Dates stated, for
the record, that it was the Board's sincere regard tor the merchants the
reason this resolution was being presented today as the city will be adopt-
ing their budget next Wednesday, Mr Mai chant stated that after spend-
ing many hours conferring with state officials he felt the 20-30-50 split
was not based on an accurate survey and suggested the possibility of a
20-20-60 spht Mi Dates noted that if any other apportionment method
was considered other than the 20-30-50, the county would be unable to
meet state requirements in getting out their tax bills and that the work
in the assessment office was already underway
Chairman Bower brought to the attention of the Board that the
County Attorney had ruled, according to the rules of the board, that
this proposed resolution deals with the subject that was presented and
reconsidered on November 24 Therefore, to bring this resolution on
the floor for consideration it would require unanimous consent of the
board or suspension of the iules

supervisors made by Supervisor Abbott in his prepared statement
At this time Mr Holden distributed the following table, prepared
at his request by County Treasurer and Budget Office Stobbs, which
shows the sales tax credit based on full value vs population basis

i\MIr Stobbs explained as shown in the above -table, all towns except the
Town of Lansing would receive a surplus if population basis is used

was based on valuation Therefore, the Town of Lansing would be forced
to borrow on an anticipation note to conduct their business during part
of 1970

Pal agraph 4 of Resolution No 307 be amended to i earl

ter mined in accordance with the latest census figures
Mr Dates strongly urged the supervisors to give consideration to the
taxpayers of the Town of Lansing and the hardship it would place on
them if this amendment were passed and asked that this amendment be
defeated MI Holden stated he did not feel it would hurt Lansing this
much, while Mr Graves stated the original intent of the county retain-
ing the revenues was the only method which was beneficial to all tax-
payers of the county

SUMMARY OF
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT
submitted by
Flank R Liguoi i, P E , Planning Director
(detailed report on file in Clerk's Office)
The Planning Department was organized this year as a new depart-
ment of county government The organization and functions of the
department are spelled out in Ai ticle X of the County Charter The
Director of the department, foi merly Sanitary Engineer with the County
Health Department, was appointed late in March and served in a dual
capacity as Planning Director and Sanitary Engineer with the Health
Department foi several months after appointment The department be -
carne functional about the middle of the year with headquarters in the
Court House and a staff consisting of a secretary, a full-time Senior
Planner and Planning Technician, and some pact -time student assistants
At the direction of the Board of Supervisors, the prime task foi the
year was the completion of a comprehensive study of iefuse handling
and disposal in the county and the preparation of a report with recom-
mendations for improvements to meet the needs of the county and to
comply with provisions of the State Sanitary Code dealing with iefuse
disposal The initial planning phase was completed and a report sub-
mitted to the Board of Supervisors with recommendations foi count)
government operation of selected key sanitary landfill sites Located stia-
tegically throughout the county As a result of the ieport, the Board of
Supeivisors amended the County Charter extending the functions of the
Department of Public Works to include the disposition of refuse In
addition, funds were set aside in the 1970 budget for the acquisition of
land for samtaiy landfill sites and foi operation of these sites The de-
partment is continuing with the engineering and implementation phase
in cooperation with the Department of Public Woiks, with the hopes
that county government operation of iefuse disposal sites and elimina-
tion of existing open dumps can be realized in 1970
At the request of the Planning and Public Relations Committee, the
Planning Department is assisting in a study of the best utilization of the
county building complex in the vicinity of the Court House including
the buildings iecently purchased from Ithaca College This study in-
cluded the space needs of all departments housed in the Court House
area and projections for future space needs A consulting architect em-
ployed by the Board of Supervisors prepared a recommended plan foi
the present and future utilization of existing buildings and suggestions
for future building needs As a follow-up, the Planning Department is
preparing alternate plans for specific relocations of county departments
to achieve maximum efficiency and communications After selection of
Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors 559
the most appropriate alternate by the Boaid of Representatives, consult-
ing architects will prepare detailed plans and specifications for structural
changes and refurbishing of buildings with the hope that relocation of
departments can take place in 1970
In older to establish a sound base for all future planning throughout
the county, the following activities were undertaken during the year
— Inventory and mapping of existing community facilities and services
as follows
Public Pi irate
Sanitary sewage Gas
Water supply Electric
Refuse (collection 8c disposal) Telephone
Postal Rail
Special districts

— Prepaiation of county -wide base map for the cordination of munici-
pal zoning
— Mapping and quantification of industrially zoned land and existing
industiial sites
— Preparation of base maps foi each town and the county at various
scales
— Synthesis of statistics and an inventory of physical resources in the
county
— Prepaiation and mapping of commercial faims in cooperation with
the County Extension Service and the Tompkins County Resources and
Development Committee

Water Conservation District for a soils survey repoit and for on-going
resouice planning in the county

Water Committee and the County Sewer Agency to determine the most
appropriate means of providing additional public water and sewerage
560 Tompkins County, New York
services throughout the county A County Sewer District proposal util-
izing the Cayuga Heights Village waste water treatment plan as a nucleus
and including the village and portions of the towns of Ithaca, Lansing
and Dryden is currently under consideration
In cooperation with other public agencies and people concerned with
local transportation problems, particularly in the Ithaca urban area, the
County Planning Department prepared a conceptual scheme for a cir-
cumferential system of highways surrounding the City of Ithaca As a
result of the total local concern over our highway problems, the State
Department of Ti anspoi tation has agreed to carry on a county -wide com-
piehensive transportation study beginning in April of 1970 and continu-
ing for a maximum of two years When completed, the transportation
plan will be incorporated in the General County Plan The Planning
Department will actively participate in the studies
The depaitment assisted in the evaluation of proposed sites for the
Tompkins -Cortland Community College
As a result of information and data provided by the Planning De-
partment, the Board of Supervisors petitioned the New York State Office
of Planning Coordination for a iechstrictiig of regions to include Tomp-
kins County in the Central New York Regional Planning area, rather
than the Southei n Tier East area Subsequently, a petition was sub-
mitted to the Centi al New York Regional Planning Board for active
participation with that group
Tompkins County is a member of the Appalachia Regional Develop-
ment Council which includes 14 counties along the southern tier of the
State The expressed purpose of the Council is to stimulate the eco-
nomic growth of the area
The department made a beginning toward coordination of the vari-
ous planning activities throughout the county by active participation in
and with various planning groups There is an urgent need for com-
munications between the Various public and non-public agencies in-
volved in planning, and it is hoped that the Planning Department can
help to improve this communication and assist in the coordination of
all planning
I wish to acknowledge the sincere coopeiation, understanding, and
interest by members of the Board of Supervisors, other county depart-
ments, and people in general in helping us to get County Planning mov-
ing as an eflective functional organization in the county

ANNUAL REPORT OF CIVIL DEFENSE
Submitted by
Doris Levy, Director
(Detailed report on file with Clerk of the Board of Representatives)
Highlights of 1969 included the December snow emergency, State Ex-
ercise Ever Ready, and local Operation Tompkins County (OPTOCO-
69) The years of effort spent in preparing Tompkins County for any
kind of disaster or emergency produced excellent results in all three
cases
The snow emergency was the first full-scale test of the county
disaster plan and of the ability of the paid and volunteer staff to
coordinate local emergency operations
A disaster coordinating center was established at Civil Defense head-
quarters It handled over 1,000 requests for assistance during a 55 -hour
period In addition to the volunteers who worked in the center, many
others used the rescue truck, as well as privately -owned 4 -wheel -drive
vehicles, station wagons, cars and snowmobiles, to transport food, fuel,
medical items, injured and ill persons, hospital and nursing home em-
ployees, and other essential personnel and supplies.
The center coordinated relief operations involving highway depart-
ments, ambulance services, police, power line crews, fuel suppliers
grocery stores, the hospital, and others Priorities were established, and
requests were screened to the extent possible In order to keep the public
better informed, WHCU and WTKO were asked to remain on the air
beyond their regular sign -oft times the first night of the center's oper-
ation
OPTOCO-69 was held on October 4 to test the county natural
disaster plan and the county hospital's disaster plan For the first time,
Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors 565
realistically made-up "victims" (25) were transported by ambulances
and school vehicles hom a disaster scene to the hospital Also for the first
time, "casualties" weie actually processed through the county hospital
Judged extremely successful, the exercise involved fire, police, ambulance
services, Ithaca School District, County Highway Department, members
of the medical profession, and several Civil Defense services
State Exercise Ever Ready extended over a 2 -month period, starting
September 10 Simulated readiness actions were reported to State by
government and volunteer heads of services during the first phase
Phase II consisted of a full -clay attack warning period during which
volunteer radiological, warning, operations and communications per-
sonnel developed intelligence in connection with simulated nuclear de-
tonations within the 10 -county Lake District
Phase III involved the full emergency operating center staff, includ-
ing those with disaster reponsibilities under County Executive Order
No I Over 3 hours were spent in the simulation of recovery and rescue
operations, and the determination of remaining resources in the county
The local director attended monthly Lake District meetings, state
semiannual conferences, monthly Technical Action Panel sessions,
monthly Hospital Disaster Committee meetings, and County Defense
Board meetings and exercises
The directoi addiessed several area meetings, and conducted two
sennnais for Air Force ROTC Aerospace Science classes at Cornell
Operations training seminars weie conducted by district personnel
and the local chrector for county officials and volunteers
Shelter program activities in most part involved tiansferring shelter
supplies clue to urban ienewal or requests on the part of new owners that
shelter items be removed from their buildings
Stocking at Cornell and Ithaca College remained at a near stand -still
clue to failure on the part of both schools to designate additional storage
areas for supplies for thousands of shelter spaces still remaining un -
stocked Ithaca College did provide space for relocation of some supplies
foiced from a building about to be demolished
The director participated in a Federal Community Shelter Planning
Seminar in Albany A State Counseling Service repiesentatrve oriented
major building supply houses and building contractors in the county
on the shelter program and provided literature for distribution to cus-
tomer s
Exchange of iadio]ogical instruments was continued on a regular
basis, and shelter supplies weie inspected The fixed monitoring station
566 Tompkins County, New York
numbering system and reporting procedures were revised to conform
with the overall Lake District pattern There was considerable actrvitiy in
preparation for Ever Ready, including a review session for monitors,
several meetings, and accelerated training for new radiological staff
members
The Citizens' Band radio unit provided communications for a local
youth road rally, collected election results for WICB television and iadio
stations, and were placed on alert several times as a result of storms
and storm warnings
A number of storm warnings from the U S Weather Bureau were
disseminated to local officials, and feed -back information was transmitted
to the Bureau on several occasions
A used school bus was purchased to be remodeled as a mobile com-
mand post and communications unit to serve Civil Defense and local
public safety agencies
Auxiliary police donated over 1500 hours in working with regular
police agencies Duty included traffic control, riding patrol, foot patrol,
dispatch desk work, and guard duty
Two high -rescue training courses were conducted for employees of the
Finger Lakes State Parks Commission The rescue truck was called out
several times to assist in rescue operations Local agencies were encour-
aged to make even better use of the well-equipped vehicle
Close liaison was maintained with the County Highway Department,
and schools were given assistance in updating emergency plans
A state physical audit was conducted of all items secured under the
surplus program and of matching funds items secured since 1961 Four
large cargo trailers were secured through surplus and assigned to the
County Highway Department Federal reimbursements were received on
three recurring cost items
Regular training sessions were held for the duectoi's immediate staff,
and the Ithaca Planning Office was given assistance in developing the
Civil Defense portion of the Ithaca Master Plan
Numerous reports were submitted to State, and local plans, records
and resource inventories were updated on a continuing basis
The du ector was elected for a seventh term as Secretary -Treasurer of
the State Dnectois' Association

Extension Agents, Tompkins County
(detailed iepoi t on file with Cleik of the Board of Representatives)
This is the second year that Cooperative Extension in Tompkins Coun-
ty has been operating under the reorganization instituted on January
1, 1968 At that time the Boaicl of Directois was given the responsibility
for the administration of Extension, setting of policies and determination
of the scope of Extension Progiams in the County The Division Com-
mittees weme charged with deteimming the details and carrying out the
programs in their assigned areas During 1969 thele were several changes
m personnel clue to retirements, promotion and resignations We believe
the staff has clone an admirable job in continuing an effective Extension
program this yeas in spite of the vacancies that occuirecl
4-H DIVISION — an educational progiam designed to help boys and
gnls as well as adults develop in many ways 4-H is designed for the
education of all youth by the following methods Traditional 4-H
Clubs, Special Interest 4-H Programs, 4-H Tiaining of Other Groups
4-H is designed for the education of adults, encouraging development
and extension of then abilities and knowledge for the benefit of them-
selves and their communities There are about 500 volunteer leaders in
the ,County Many objectives were met in 1969
HOME ECONOMICS DIVISION — The capabilities of home eco-
nomics in woik with families relates directly to our national goal to im-
prove the "quality of living" to such an extent that all individuals shall
be able to reach their best development as a person and as members of
then family and community Reflecting the needs of contemporary
families, the 1968-9 Program emphasized 1 Increasing the family's
ability to live within its income and to obtain its money's worth in the
market place, 2 The need foi additional pre-school centers, 3 Leadership
development, especially with the indigenous sector of our population
During the year several methods were used to expand its efforts to reach
the families of Tompkins County
AGRICULTURAL DIVISION — The dairy situation survey was com-
pleted and summarized, a new publication, the "Dairy and Fields Clops
Digest" was started in 1969 and timely service letters were prepared and
sent out on special topics, a special course on fain' labor relations was
set up and held for those farms with full time hired men A special
568 Tompkins County, New York
booklet was prepared and will be kept up to date as regulations change
Also information concerning the minimum wage law and regulations
were put in the hands of dairymen, several farmers participated in the
Electronic Records program, There has been a trend toward the raising
of more corn in this area and farmers were informed of controls of
diseases, As a result of damage from alfalfa weevil, there had been
a tendency for farmers to move away from raising alfalfa A new method
of seeding known as clear seeding has been promoted and as a result it
looks as if many farmers will be moving back to alfalfa, a seises of
meetings on dairy farming were held, The work with commercial poul-
trymen is carried on largely through individual counseling
HOME GROUNDS — During 1969 the work in this area was carried
on by an agent spending one-half time in Tompkins County and one-half
time in Chemung County Several meetings and activities were con-
ducted Throughout the year there are hundreds of calls from home
owners with problems concerning lawns and gardens A special effort
was made to keep the operators of garden stores and other outlets in-
formed
EXPANDED NUTRITION EDUCATION PROGRAM — The ob-
jectives of this program are to increase low income families' knowledge
about the essentials of good nutrition, to increase low income families'
ability to select food that satisfied nutritional needs, to increase low
income families' ability to understand and manage available resources,
including money, time and donated foods, to increase low income fami-
lies ability to prepare and serve palatable meals The general back-
ground of this program is that it is aimed at improving the nutritional
quality of the diets of disadvantaged families
COMMUNITY RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM — Due
to the vacancy in the Agricultural Division Leader position, there were
only two specific activities carried out in this area The first was con-
cerned with the commercial agriculture sub -committee which held a
meeting to discuss commercial agricultural lands The second activity
has been the continuation of the Greenbelt working committee They
will be making recommendations on how the various areas that have
been identified might be preserved for the future The reports that have
been completed by the County Resource Development Committee on
Human Resources, Outdoor Recreation, Government and Public Serv-
ices, Business and Industry, Natural Resources and Housing have been
summarized This summary will be used as a basis to help determine the
future direction of the Resource Development Program in Tompkins

ANNUAL REPORT
HEALTH DEPARTMENT
(Detailed repos t on file in the
office of the Clerk of the Board)
PERSONNEL — The department regretted the loss of Fi ank Ligouri,
Director of Environmental Health to the Planning Department The need
for filling the position of Supervising Nurse continues and becomes more
apparent with turn over in staff
MEDICARE — The Medicaid Piot am has become more apparent, ie-
stricting service in Extended Care Facilities and eligibility for service
render the Home Care Program to patients requiring skilled nursing
service The future financing of the well developed Home Health Aide
program is debateable and in doubt
IMMEDICAID — The Medicaid Program has become more restrictiv e as
to financial eligibility, and has reduced the payment schedule for physi-
cians and dentists services The latter may result in these two professions
not accepting new medicaid patients and necessitate the provision of
other means of supplying these services to this low income group Nov.
that most standaids for medical and dental care have been established
by the State Health Department, the total administration of medical and
dental services may i evert to the Depai tment of Social Services by action
of the Legislature in 1970
STATE AID FOR LOCAL HEALTH SERVICE — Open ended state
financial assistance is apparently ended Financial aid to County Health
Departments was originally 75% of the first 5'100,000 and 50% of the
remainder if the county supplied required services and met established
standards All claims to the state went after 4/1/69 were reduced 5%
The reduction will undoubtedly be greater in 1970
COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH PLANNING — Anticipating that Tomp-
kins County's request will be approved to join with Cortland, Cayuga,
Oswego, Onondaga and Madison in Health Planning, the agency in Syra-
cuse, now called ALPHA, has furnished planning assistance in the person
of ?vlis Shirley Taylor Mrs Ruth De\\Tire accepted the chairmanship of
the local council in December They are reorganving and will make the
council a functioning body
ENVIRONMENT — Varna Water and Sewer Districts were completed
West Danby water District was placed m operation and Newfield's badly
needed community supply neared completion The comprehensive sewage
study for South Tompkins County was completed
INFECTIOUS AND PARASITIC DISEASES — Gonorrhea became the
most prevalent of reported infectious disease, with infectious hepatitis
Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors 571
again demonstrating an upward swig Malaria again made its appeal-
ance after many years as men in the aimed services returned from the
Fal Last Measles was conspicuous by its absence, there having been but
one reported case since 1966 The Health Depaitment has coopeiatecl
with the schools of the county by offering immunization clinics in the
schools for small pox, poliomyelitis, measles, diphtheria and tetanus
RABIES — Due to inability to secure vaccine in the fall of 1968, vaccina-
tion clinics for clogs weie conducted in April of 1969 in ten different loca-
tions, 1,567 clogs being immunized No rabies were discovered as a result
of the forty-two animal heads submitted to the laboratory of the State
Health Department To the best of our knowledge there have been no
rabid animals in the county since 1965 None the less we are continually
on the alert for the disease again to be introduced
TUBERCULOSIS — Seven new cases, five piimaiy in chilchen, were
reported in 1969 All patients, with active disease ale either hospitalized
of have been stabilized on drug therapy and are under ioutine clinic

health department is monthly supplying information to the registry as
to deaths from cancer
GLAUCOMA AND HEARING SCREENING CLINICS—In cooperating
with the vaiious Senior Citizens Oiganizations of the County and the
Lansing. Lion's Club glaucoma screening clinics were held in six dif-
ferent locations in the county in Octobei Waltei Catlin, PH D , Director
of the Ewing Speech and Hearing Center also airanged to have audio-
metric examinations done at the same time
PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED CHILDREN'S PROGRAM — This is
fundamentally a rehabilitation prop am, having as its basic philosophy,
that if a child is born with a r emedial congenital defect, or suffers from in -
nay of illness that results in a physical handicap it is to the benefit of
society to rehabilitate the child (uncle' the age of 21) to the greatest
possible extent so that he may be educated and compete in society to the
best of his capabilities Financial assistance, based upon a means test, may
be granted in full or in part subsidized by the county and state providing
the handicapped condition is one acceptable under the piogram In 1966,
in addition to the above, the "Physically Handicapped Child" was amend-
ed to include children suffering from longterm illness adding specifically
nine chronic diseases but not necessarily limited to
572 Tompkins County, New York
POPULATION CONTROL — The Planned Parenthood Association of
Tompkins County has been conducting an educational, case finding and
assistance program since April 1, 1968 In addition to the service and
information available at its office in the First Presbyterian Church in
Ithaca, two home visitation workers have been visiting families through-
out the county in which there is an indication that information concern-
ing the limitation of size of families might be needled
STAFFING — In 1969, the staff of the Nursing Division was budgeted
to include one duector, two supervisors, nine PHN's and one LPN Be-
cause of a relatively light caseload, the RN positions were decreased from
four in 1968 to three this year, and one of the RN's employed was off
duty due to illness in her family The nursing division experienced con-
siderable turnover in 1969 One supervisory vacancy continues unfilled
By contract with the Rehabilitation Unit of Tompkins County Hospital,
the agency utilized the part-time services of a physical therapist and an
occupational therapist qualified to work in the Home Health Agency
Both of these persons left and in September, another physical therapist
was recruited and has been available to the agency one or two clays a
week
HOME CARE PROGRAM — Horne Health Aides — Statistical repotting
in 1969 was much more accurate and reflected an increase in nearly all
nursing activities During the year, the agency continued to strengthen
its already close working relationship with Tompkins County Hospital
It is hoped enough satisfactory home care arrangements can be made for
patients to relieve the shortage of hospital beds The agency is also in-
creasing its part-time nursing services to persons in boarding homes
MEALS ON WHEELS — The program is running very smoothly The
meals — which can include special diets, and accommodate individual
likes and dislikes — are prepared by the Hospital kitchen, and delivered
by Church Women's Volunteers The Horne Care Coordinator' of the
Health Department screens referrals
LOAN CLOSET UTILIZATION — In 1969, utilization of Loan Closet
items increased
PHYSICAL AND OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY — For the past two
years, the agency has had difficulty obtaining adequate part-time physical
therapy service The present arrangement — a qualified physical therapist
available one or two days a week — appears to be satisfactory
STUDENT OBSERVATIONS — For the past two years, the agency has
provided field observation for nursing students at Keuka College AArhile
the students had not yet had formal work in public health, the observa-
tions may provide the beginning of a lasting interest in community
nursing For the first time this fall, Cornell students taking a graduate
Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors 573
course in Community Nutrition observed several Child Health Con-
ferences, and made home visits to selected patients with the PHN's
PREVENTIVE SERVICES — 1969 witnessed a great increase in visits to
patients on preventive services, particularly in the area of maternal -child
health
PARENTS CLASSES — Interest in Patent's Class continues to increase
Fourteen series of six weekly sessions of classes were held during the yea'
CHILD HEALTH CONFERENCES — The effect of Medicaid eligible
families having a choice of then physician to care foi their preschool
children began to show in 1967 and became very apparent by attendance
at our clinics in 1968 To compensate for this, the hequency, and thus
the number of sessions were reduced
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH — WATER SUPPLIES — All Public
water supplies are routinely sampled and kept under surveillance Pi ivate
supplies are inspected and sampled upon request or if these has been any
indication of the possibility of water borne disease The West Danby
Water Dist' ict was placed in open ation and by the close of the year the
new supply for the hamlet of Newfield was nearly ready for use The
hamlet of Varna through the establishment of a water district in the
Town of Dryden now has a public supply Mose households in the south-
eln portion of Lansing are serviced with water as the result of the exten-
sion of these mains The Village of Gioton will increase then storage
capacity in 1971, by the construction of a new reservon in connection with
the Smith Works The Town of Lansing has developed plans for a new
source of water at Bolton's Point which will make possible service to a
larges area and a more stable supply than that which presently exists
CAYUGA LAKE STUDY — There was a sampling study during the
yeais of 1968-9
AVATER POLLU LION CONTROL — Cayuga Rock Salt Company —
One of the most startling and smportznt discover res occtured early in
September A temporary employee of the department while making a
survey of the east shore of Cayuga Lake carne across a sneam daik in
color emanating from the Cayuga Rock Salt Company Investigation
proved that the company had been washing the screenings from then
rock salt back into the lake The offending company was given the oppor-
tunity of correcting the situation The company's cooper ation has been
good and will be extended further limited time to completely eliminate
this discharge.
SEWAGE DISPOSAL — The Village of Groton and Cayuga Heights ai e
under orders to proceed with development of engineering plans and
conversion of their primary treatment plants to approved secondary
574 Tompkins County, New York
treatments The latter village is also planning to enlarge then plant to
accept further sewage from Southern Lansing and portions of western
Dryden The Dryden Town Sewer District for the Varna area was made
functional in the fall, many connections remain to be made to the sys-
tem The hamlet of Brooktondale has disposal problems and chasing the
summer the Town Board was requested to have an engineering stud)
to develop an economical but practical means of solving this problem
The Village of Freeville has to surveyed to determine to what extent
Fall Creek is being polluted
SANITARY CODE — The existing Sanitary Code will be studied, re-
vised and amended early in 1970, to further eliminate possible water
pollution but with the future practical development of the county in
mind
SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL — In the spring all operators of disposal
sites were again advised concerning the iedunements Pait 19 of the
Sanitary Code This stipulates that refuse shall be compacted and covered
and no burning shall be allowed Early in July an informal hearing was
held with Mr Collins concerning his dump and included representatives
h om municipalities having a contract for the use of his refuse disposal
site The Director of Planning, Superintendent of Highways and City
Supt of Public Works, all agreed that county sites should be developed
as rapidly as possible It is sincerely hoped that a new county site or sites
will be operable before the second half of 1970 and that the old sites will
be closed eliminating all nuisances relating thereto
FOOD AND SERVICE ESTABLISHMENTS — During the summer,
aided by temporary help, greater surveillance of restaurants was possible
573 inspections and rechecks of such establishments were made
ANIMAL RESEARCH LABORATORIES — 82 checks concerning ani-
mal research laboratories at Cornell and Ithaca College wel e made In
the fall, however, a veterinarian from the N Y S Dept of Health of-
fered to assume the responsibility for these laboratories and the local de -
pat tment agreeably accepted his offer

CONSERVATION — CAMP BARTON 1969
Submitted by Robeit R Snedden, Conseivation Instiuctor
(Detailed report on file with the
Clerk of the Board of Representatives)
During the 1969 Camp Barton session, Scouts woiking on Conserva-
tion merit badges and in a camp improvement piogram, completed
projects under the revised land -use plan
As in the past a series of check and diversion clams were established
in the south gorge which borders Frontenac Road These clams are only
for slowing the force of spring floods, in hopes that the immense quantity
of earth and rock being deposited in the swamp will be decreased as well
as slowing down the enlargement of the gorge
The hardwood stands along the hillside were thinned and pinned for
better growth The brush from the woodlots was used to build a series
of brushpiles as wildlife cover In line with the brushpiles, many feeding
stations and nest boxes were established and in two cases observation
blinds were set up. The stations were successful in attracting many kinds
of wildlife
Construction of new facilities always leads to conservation problems In
the Camp Barton case, hopefully most of those problems have been elim-
inated by the Scouts Leach pits were built at all the new hydrant valves
and at the drainage field for the Caretakers house Most of the ground
c over was destroyed during construction so it was necessary for many
areas to be seeded with grass, mulched and marked to keep people off
those areas
- Litter left by the numbers of woikeis and visitors in the Spiing was
orked on throughout the summer until some semblance of order was
regained Scouts also worked on cleaning up both of the town roads
leading into camp Barrels of trash were removed and disposed of
A camp -wide fire prevention and piotection campaign was worked out
by Forestry merit badge students They furnished water barrels and tools
to each of the villages which lacked them They also posted fire regula-
tion and emergency instructions in each tioop campsite
Early in the season it was decided that the small inlet on the north
west side of the town bridge over Fiontenac Creek, was a perfect sight for
wildlife observation The area was put off limits to all people except
those who wished to observe A clam was built to increase the amount of
water in the pond and it is hoped that this area will remain undisturbed
576 Tompkins County, New York
During Conservation Week at the end of the summei, the white sptuce
sheltet belt along Rt 89 was cleared and mulched This belt was planted
in May and seems to be glowing well evicept for some places that wete
mown with the high grass
One of the major projects was a well marked nature trail on camp
property which could be used by individual troops while winter -camping
A series of sign boards illustrating various conservation and natuie
problems was established These will be up all year around Also, about
twenty-five trees have been numbered with a written key to be available
to Scoutmasters for tiee identification hikes At the end of the hike a
troop may stop at the Gannett Lodge to look at vaiious exhibits which
will be on display The trail is maiked by a series of iectangulai white
paint blazes on trees — similar to the way the Cayuga Lake trail is
marked It begins at Gannett Lodge by the turtle ponds
The amount of Conservation work has increased over the past few years
and prospects are bright for a continuing and better program in the
future

Again, it is with pleasure that I may state that a return of revenues
over and above operational expenses was received
Several personnel changes have taken place during the last year The
overall work force is 3 full-time positions and 2 part-time positions, one
mainly seasonal
Terminal building work done during 1969 included repair of the roof
and a complete painting of the exterior of the building It will be neces-
sary in 1970 for the old roof to be replaced, however, and additional
general repair work will also be necessary The age of the building de-
mands its constant repair and face-lifting to keep it operational for the
general public use
Basic ground work, surveying, mapping, etc for an instrument landing
system was started in the spring of 1969 and now awaits Federal Aviation
Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors 577
Administration action A north/south runway, with taxiway systems is
now in the process of review by the Fedeial Aviation Administration also
Theie were some nationwide decreases in air carrier operations, as
evidenced by our regional air carrier also The basic reason for this being
the tight money situation as experienced by the nation as a whole Mo-
hawk showed a slight increase in actual departures over 1968, but this
was offset by a passenger decrease and revenue figures bear this out A
regional cause for the decline in business could also be the student -fare
package being offered by competitive air carriers flying out of Syracuse
A marked increase in the air freight was noted, but air mail and air ex-
press both show a slight drop It is apparent that the same problems still
exist with air mail service in the U S postal departments Loss of pound-
age in air mail is good evidence of this and it does not appear that much
has been done to alleviate this problem
Geneial Aviation statistics show a loss of business in comparison to the
oveiall 1968 figures Gila' tan's business was down by approximately 28%
from 1968, in an traffic operations, with gasoline sales proportionally
lower East Hill Flying Club saw a decrease in operations also of about
26% This was probably due to the renovation and expanded operations
of the Cortland Airport drawing people from that vicinity back to take
advantage of the facilities However, there was an increase in itinerate
planes visiting and doing business in our community
As of May, 1969, Mohawk's based ciew was moved to Syiacuse, tending
to decrease by 71% the airline crew members usually carried by Ithaca
Limousine Service Hertz Rental showed an upswing of 42% over 1968
while Avis Rental increased by 52% their commission over the preceding
year
Due to the fact that the T -Hangars were not completed, the revenue
lost from rental of the hangars alone was in the thousands of dollars
Snowfall records indicate that this last years precipitation of 79 7
inches was the highest since the record set in 1961 of 83 6 inches The
over -abundance of snow created many problems, particularly in the
parking areas at the airport insufficient parking space for the general
public was magnified by an almost constant bombardment of the ele-
ments making snow removal and the removal of parked cars an extremely
difficult chore Landing facilities, for the most part were kept open but
numeious flights were cancelled due to the poor visibility encountered in
the area and the lack of an instrument landing system to aid landing of
planes
For the support and cooperation I have received during the past year
from the Airport Committee, the Board of Supervisors and all other
County and Town Departments, I am extremely grateful

ANNUAL REPORT
MUNICIPAL RECREATION FOR THE ELDERLY PROGRAMS
Piepared by Malcom J Freeborn, Director
(Detailed report on file in the office
of the Clerk of the Board)
The volunteer efforts, of not less than 800 senior citizens, coordinated
by a council and 9 units, creates a well defined and central core of a
smorgasbord of activities which involve persons 60 years of age and older
The opportunities to create new activities, eliminate activities, and main-
tain a flexible approach for older people to help themselves by helping
each other, contributes to a localized approach for the senior citizen of
Tompkins County The motivation is strong, as is shown by the large
number of participants.
Transportation is top priority as a problem for older people of our
county Steps should be taken to make it possible for state aid to be
available to the Tompkins County Senior Citizens' Council, Inc through
contracting for transportation services, or broaden the use of public
school transportation facilities for use by older people Economic security
is a source of anxiety for many older people Move to increase Social
Security benefits, or increase opportunity to earn more income pei year
for persons receiving social security benefits Produce a secondaiy
remuneration system through use of community service certificates which
have exchange values to receive discounts, or services
In 1968 the Tompkins County Senior Citizens Council realized the
completion of plans to carry out a "team financing" program to cover
annual budget The budget was increased The City of Ithaca, County
Board of Supervisors, United Fund, BO CES, State Education De-
partment, Office of Aging, self help projects of senior citizens themselves
and local banking interests, have joined to meet the plan for financing
a program The TC S CC is the contracting agency as a private mem-
bership corporation The N Y S Office for the Aging joined in a plan
to expand and refine the county -wide senior citizen council concept The
project begins April 1, 1969, for a three-year duration SERVE at
Willard State Hospital is producing active involvement of older people,
from Tompkins County, in treatment of mental illness
The Director and other leaders have participated in In-service training
and conferences during the year

cieased during 1969 from 407 to 411 families There has been a big push

rn an effort to improve service quality and availability for all recipients
CASE LOADS — During the past year family case loads have increased

other symptoms of cultural deprivation Several job placements in local
service occupations have been quite successful Continuous contact with
staff personnel m area counselling, training and referral agencies have
proven helpful in building new interagency understanding and respect
Our effoits to coordinate our contacts with area industry with those of
other agencies at an administrative level have yielded minimal results to
date
MEDICAID — On January 1, 1969, there were 4,077 persons receiving

through supervision within their own homes and casewoik with the
parents The decision for placement outside the home is made only after
careful study of the situation with thoughtful consideration of psychiatric,

par tment of Social Services Through 1969 it was a program funded err-
tii ely by the Federal Government In 1970 this program will be con-
tinued on a local level with partial reimbursement from State and Fed-
eral Funds The intent of the program is to provide family clay care
',acilities that are available to the entire community In the future we
would hope to continue serving the entire community regardless of the

for care in Tompkins County Our concern continually is to improve
the quality of care and promote an awareness within the community of
the importance of "good" child care

There are 920-460 families participating in the program which comp isecl
about 1850-1860 persons per month or about the same number of families

est in the program and numerous conferences and telephone conversa-
tions have been had between staff and the various groups and individuals
Feature articles and information about the program have been wi itten
and published in local newspapers, leaflets, flyers, etc as well as a radio
broadcast, all toward a concerted effort to broaden the program and to

— the appointment of Margaret Hughes as Acting Commissioner — the
appointment of Rudolph Maida effective 10/12/69 and Mr Maida's
unexpected resignation effective 12/12/69 — the reappointment of Mrs
Hughes as Acting Commissioner was difficult for the entire staff With

SUMMARY OF ANNUAL REPORT OF
TOMPKINS COUNTY HOME AND FARM
(Submitted by Margaret Hughes, Acting Commissioner,
Social Services Department)
(Detailed report on file with Clerk of Board)
As of December 31, 1969 there were 80 residents of the Tompkins
County Home, including 48 men and 32 women A total of 107 persons
were cared for during the year at a total cost of $109,214 91 Not included
in the number of persons were 124 transients who received 150 night's
lodging and 407 meals
Farm expenditures amounted to $20,312 08 and produced many items
for consumption in the Home On November 29, 1969 an inspection was
made by a Farm Advisor in the Dept of Agriculture who concluded his
report by stating that "The program and practices in force at the Tomp-
kins County Farm are commendable and the County can well be proud
of the several enterprises that are maintained there "
We al e especially proud of our bakery unit which produces all the cake,
pies, cookies and bread which are consumed at the Home We ai e gr ate-
lul for the Federal Surplus Commodities program which supplies the
flora, lard, clried milk, butter, raisins, etc for this endeavor
582 Tompkins County, New York
We have been fortunate to have had Dr Ralph J Low as the County
Horne Physician for a number of years He makes regularly scheduled
visits and examines each new patient on admission, as well as being avail-
able for consultations or Home visits on a 24-hour emergency basis His
examinations determine the ability of each resident to participate in the
woik of the Home, which is the most important feature of oui piogimp
When physically capable, each resident is assigned some task foi which
he is responsible, thus contributing his share of the work in the Home
family
One of the innovations of the Home is the Rehabilitation piogiam
which was introduced a few years ago At the present time theie aie
seven employees of the home and farm who are called Rehabilitation
Employees They are still residents of the Home and are able to work
more hours than other residents, but for various reasons are unable to
be self supporting outside a controlled environment These employees ate
paid according to their abilities and volume of work produced The long
iange plan for these employees is that they will eventually gain the
knowledge and self confidence which will enable them to leave the Home
and go on to other gainful employment elsewhere
During 1969 the men residents of the Home helped build a beef pole
barn at a total cost of $4800 By furnishing 90% of the labor, cost on this
structure was kept at a very low figure
The County Home Superintendent and Matson, as well as staff mem-
bers, are very grateful foi the interest in the Home as shown by Tompkins
County citizens To all of these and to the groups too numerous to men-
tion, this Department extends its thanks

SUMMARY OF
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TOMPKINS COUNTY SHERIFF
submitted by
Robert Howard, County Sheriff
(Detailed report on file in the office of
the Clerk of the Board of Repiesentatives)
1969 was a most challenging yeai for the members of this depaitment
During the early months buildings at Cornell were taken over by student
groups and the Sheriff's Department was ales ted and on the standby basis
to assist the university if needed Under the mutual aid system between
Sheriff's Departments in the state about 350 deputies were sent here by
other counties to assist this department if the need arose I feel sure that
the presence of this large group of men was instrumental in the negotia-
tions and subsequent release of the buildings by the students without
violence of any kind
I am happy to report that the repair woi k at the jail is nearly com-
pleted This woik was clone while the business of the department was
carried on as usual I feel the office personnel are to be complimented
on the efficient way they continued to do their woik
Year after year crone in the county seems to increase This increase in
crime calls for increased demands by the public on the Sheriff's Depart-
ment The department had to increase the number of personnel to meet
these demands, therefore the budget has increased I feel the County
Sheriff's Department offers the residences of the County the most effi-
cient and economical means of law enforcements
The Tompkins County Sheriff's Department investigated 806 Motor
Vehicle accidents in 1969, which was an increase of 28 over 1968 County
patrol cars were on the highway 24 hours per day in 1969 and deputies
made 1,168 arrests for Vehicle and Traffic Law Violations Complaints
handled by this department amounted to 1,127 which was an increase of
414 over 1968, resulting in 28 felony arrests, 190 misdemeanors, and 94
violations Over $1,943 71 was collected by this department for restitution
on fraud checks
Our Navigation Department patrolled Cayuga Lake again this yeai and
issued 20 summons for violations on the lake, of these 19 persons were
convicted and paid fines Oui boat was on the lake from May 1, 1969 thiu
October 2, 1969 There were no fatal accidents connected with naviga-
tion on Cayuga Lake this year
All persons who are arrested in Tompkins County by various police
departments are housed at the Tompkins County Jail In 1969 we housed
a total of 860 of these people

Proceedings of the Board of Supervisors 585
During 1969 one man from the department attended the Basic Law
Enforcement School at Broome Technical Community College An in-
termediate training school was started by Tompkins -Cortland Commun-
ity College and two of our men attended this school with excellent results
Juvenile Program During the past year the Sheriff's Department was
able to assign a deputy to juvenile work Deputy Edward Hall was
assigned to this position His duties are to work with the school systems in
any juvenile pioblems and to anticipate in any youth programs in the
county that need law enforcement assistance and to promote a better
understanding between police and youth To attain a better knowledge of
ways to meet this responsibility, Deputy Hall attended the school at St
Lawrence University on Juvenile Delinquency Crime Dm mg 1969,
approximately 325 boys joined our Junior Deputy Program conducted
in the County's ten outlying sixth grade classes This represents a 100 boy
increase The youth program also includes, for any interested youth
gi oup, tours of our Court House and Jail Narcotics are receiving an in-
cieased emphasis in our youth program School safety programs concern-
ing bicycle and pedestrian safety and child molesting weie shown in our
school programs It is our sincere belief that the future of not only our
County, but of our Nation depends upon what we, as the adults of this
Nation do today to influence the lives of our young people

SUMMARY OF
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TOMPKINS COUNTY SEALER
OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
submitted by
Carl Roe, County Sealer
(Detailed iepoi t on file in the office of
the Clerk, Board of Repiesentatives)
This year has seen the continuing piessuie ot area dairy plants upon
local dairymen to convei t to a total bulk tank operation They stress
the monetary advantage of such a move in the elimination of haulage
fees now paid by dairymen still shipping on can basis For the receiv-
ing plants, this would mean elimination of can handling equipment in
the plant and the cost of maintenance and repair of same Several dairy-
men have expressed concern over the exact time of the sale transaction of
their milk to the receiver Is it when immediately pumped from their
tank, into the receivers tank truck, of at some time later, when tested, 01
when processsed for final distribution,
I foresee a lot of debate and tiouble over this simple, but vexatious
question, due to a possible future haulage charge for milk received from
these tanks
In the general merchandising field, the moot problem of brand mark-
ings, labeling and misleading advei rising are still troublesome, and vague
in interpretation in some points, and will probably remain so for some
time
New in package marking is the tact that now quite a few items cairy
the required weight declarations, plus its weight equivalent in grams
This could be interpreted as a move to the decimal system of marking
but I can see no concerted effort in that directed at state or national
level at the present time
I am most pleased that the new County Board of Representatives just
i ecently purchased for my use a new set of stainless steel weights that
will finch much use and are as permanent a piece of county equipment as
anything can be and they will have a lot ot use
I find excellent co opei ation with the mei chants and dealers in this
area and quick compliance a ith state directives that from time -to -time
are issued by the State, affecting then particular phase of business and I
look forward to this continuing
