with the charge given to staff at the January 8, 1985 Board of Representatives
meeting, Mr. Williamson, Mr. Liguori, and Mr. Murphy have met to discuss the old
hospital complex. He said they have also contacted the four parties who submitted
purchase proposals as of November 1, 1983, and three have indicated current interest
in acquiring the property; the fourth has not yet responded. Mr. Murphy said that a
chronological listing of events from March 24, 1980 through December 31, 1984 has
been prepared by the Clerk of the Board and is on file in the Office of the Clerk,
and it includes copies of correspondence between the County Attorney and Marc Dahan,
Attorney for the I.T.D. Group, Inc. Mr. Murphy said the staff committee makes the
following recommendations to the Board: a) The committee believes that the parties
who submitted previous purchase proposals should be invited to submit, in writing,
a new proposal. b) Since it is possible that someone who did not submit a previous
proposal may now be interested in acquiring this property, th e Board may wish to
open up a new deadline for any and all proposals. c) Although the Board has not
accepted this recommendation in the past, the staff committee respectfully suggests
that the Board should consider use of the facility for offices for county/private/
not-for-profit agency use. The Commissioner of Planning has copies on file in his
office of several previous studies recommending su:h use as well as an updated
report indicating advantages of such use and an updated listing of potential
tenants, which can be made available now or in the future as the Board desires.
d) It is the opinion of staff that the Public Works Committee should pursue the
possible uses or sale of the facility with direct staff help from the Commissioner
of Planning, Commissioner of Public Works, County Attorney and County Administrator,
with additional staff help from any or all other County department heads as may be
needed.
Chairman Dates thanked the staff for completing this charge. After discussion,

25

No one else wished to speak and the public hearing was closed at 5:34 p.m.
The minutes of November 29, 1984; January 22, 1985; and January 29, 1985

on the Board.effective at midnight on February 25, 1985, to pursue an out-of-state
employment opportunity.

Clerk and highlighted some of the items. Ms. Pierce thanked the Board for their
support and cooperation.
Under privilege of the floor, Iona Schriner of Ellis Hollow Apartments for
Senior Citizens spoke against the proposed relocation of the intersection of
Pine Tree, Ellis Hollow, and Judd Falls Roads, which would place a major highway
in frcnt of the complex. She said building a highway there would be a great
hazard since many of the residents depend on walking to live independently at
Ellis Hollow Apartments, and she urged the Board to reconsider such an action.
There was discussion and Mr. Mobbs said this issue has been discussed for many
years, and it recently resurfaced at a Town of Ithaca Board meeting. Mr. Liguori
said that the Town of Ithaca has volunteered engineering services on the proposal,
and Cornell University has begun studying rights-of-way. He said that at the
appropriate time, all information will be brought to the appropriate County
committee as well as the Town and Cornell University. Mrs. Livesay said she
believes this is a planning issue or policy decision rather than a public works
decision. After further discussion, Chairman Dates said that no decision has yet
been made, and residents of Ellis Hollow Apartments will be notified through Ms.
Schriner at the appropriate rime in deliberations.
Under privilege of the Floor, Mr. Lifson explained that many Tompkins County
homeowners agree to establish an escrow account with the bank that is holding
28
February 19, 1985
their mortgage with the understanding that these funds will be used to pay the
homeowners' taxes. He said that in many cases the homeowners agree to have their
tax bills sent directly to the bank, and he feels that the failure of the bank to
pay the tax bills in a timely fashion clouds these constituents' reputations by
being tax delinquent. (See page 4 for a motion to add a resolution to the agenda.)
Mr. Tillapaugh, Chairman of the Health Committee, said the committee met
February 6 and approved specifications for two cars forthe Health Department.

that Mrs. Livesay will be the liaison to the Mental Health Board for this year,

tives to incarceration program and to make nominations for appointment to the
Criminal Justice Advisory Board, which is required to submit to Albany a proposed
plan on alternatives to incarceration. He said a public hearing is required 30
days prior to the effective date of the plan. Mr. Mason also said he attended a
meeting of the Southern Tier East Regional Planning and Development Board in
Binghamton which concerned alternatives to incarceration. In addition, he.high-
lighted the 1984 Annual Report of the Tompkins County Fire Investigation Team and
noted that the working relationship between the Fire Investigation Team and the
various police agencies in the County as well as the District Attorney's office
has continued to strengthen, which Mr. Mason feels will result in more effective
determination of the causes of fires as well as more effective prosecution of those
determined to be arson.
Mr. Freeman, Chairman of the Public Works Committee, said the committee has
met twice since the last Board meeting, and most of their business is reflected
on the agenda. In addition, the committee discussed airport renovations and the
acoustics in the Board Room. Mr. Freeman noted that the parking meters have been
installed in the Courthouse parking lot, and he said the committee plans to dis-
cuss Courthouse parking further at their next meeting.

County Profile prepared by the Southern Tier East Regional Planning and Develop-
ment Board. He noted that the committee name has been changed to Planning and

pal summer camps; the day care survey is underway; and the Affirmative Action

Mr. Mason, Vice Chairman of the Budget and Administration Committee, said
the committee met February 11 and most of their action is reflected on the agenda.
In addition, he said the committee discussed with the Ithaca Neighborhood Housing

committee that this is an economic program. He said the committee unanimously
recommended that Ithaca Neighborhood Housing Services submit their funding re-
quest through the Planning and Development Committee.
Mr. Murphy, County Administrator, said there are arrangements in the contract
to bag the parking meters for committee and Board meetings, and they are now working

AMEDCO and I are prepared to proceed with feasibility studies but details need

COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE
Mr. Gilligan, Public Health Administrator, referred to a report that was
distributed to the Board which was prepared by the Health Department regarding
the possibility of establishing a Personal Emergency Response System in Tompkins
County. He said that there are basically two options. One is to establish the
system using County personnel and expertise, and the second is to purchase a
packaged system. He said the second option is more costly, but it would have the
benefit of organizational experience and would allow for expansion of the home
units.
Mrs. Harding, Office for the Aging Director, said there is money remaining_
in the contract between the Office for the Aging and Long Term Care Coordinating
Services which could be used in the establishment of a Personal Emergency Response
System_ She said this is State money which has to be encumbered by the end of

became aware chat funds would be available that could be used for the Personal
Emergency Response System, the committee asked staff to prepare a proposal so the

is unfortunate that the County has reached the print where the funds may now be
lost.

money is appropriated in the Probation Department budget for this purpose. How-
ever, he said there is a risk involved that could potentially escalate the County's
insurance premimums. Mr. Mason said he would like to officially extend appreci-
ation to Cornell University and recognize their willingness to negotiate with the

ments in Tompkins County have 24,hour. access to experts in handling --hazardous
materials incidents.

SPECIAL MEETING
April 3, 1985
Chairman Dates called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m.
Chairman Dates said he called this meeting so the Board, acting as a committee
of the whole, can respond to the letter received from Mrs. Howell, Hospital Admin-
istrator, on behalf of the Tompkins Community Hospital Board of Directors. He said
that after receiving the letter, he asked the negotiating committee (Mr. Freeman,
Chairman of the Public Works Committee; Mr. Stein, Chairman of the Planning and
Development Committee; and staff) co make a recommendation to the full Board.
Mr. Freeman explained the content and the boundaries of the proposal.
RESOLUTION NO. 100 - INTENTION TO CONVEY REAL PROPERTY
(See Resolution No. 101 of April 9, 1985)
Moved by Mr. Freeman, seconded by Mr. Stein. Mr. Stein explained that his
concern about this proposal is the first refusal clause. He said he feels it is
an unnecessary provision which would result in lower proposals than the County
would receive without this clause. Mrs. Howell said the Hospital Board does not
feel that this clause will restrict the County's ability to sell the property,
but it will give the Hospital an opportunity to match any offers received. There
was further discussion and Mr. Tillapaugh said that as one of the Hospital
Directors appointed by the Board of Representatives, he is in support of this
resolution. He feels that it would be in the best interests of Tompkins County,
the Hospital and the people they serve to accept this proposal in that the
Hospital will use the property in a manner that would be an asset to Tompkins
County. It was Moved by Mr. Watros, seconded by Mrs. Nichols to amend the
section dealing with the first refusal clause to read; "To agree to give to
Tompkins Community Hospital, Inc. the first right of refusal to match any
written purchase offer of less than $750,000 . .After further discussion,
a roll call vote was taken on the amendment. Ayes? 2,221 (Representatives
Watros, Winch, Call, Lifton, Livesay, Nichols, Slattery, Stein). Noes: 1,318
(Representatives Tillapaugh, Freeman, Prato, Shurtleff, Dates). Excused: 460
(Representatives Culligan, Mason). Amendment adopted. Mr. Slattery expressed
his concern about the demolition of the D Wing and approximately one-third of
the C Wing of the old hospital. Mrs. Livesay said she feels that the public
should have an opportunity to comment on the demolition of the wings. Airs.
Howell said that possibilities for developing an acceptable plan using the build-
ing have been exhausted, and the consultants have advised against use of the
building. Mr. Stein explained that there are some ,details that still need to
be defined that the committee chose to omit from negotiations that will permit
mutual involvement in planning how the building is rebuilt. Mrs. Howell explained
that there is a joint venture project planned between the hospital and interested
physicians in the construction of a physicians' office complex which will be
taxable property. A roll call vote was taken on the resolution as amended. Ayes:
3,269 (Representatives Tillapaugh, Watros, Winch, Call, Freeman, Litton, Nichols,
Proto, Shurtleff, Slattery, Stein, Dates). Noes: '270 (Representative Livesay).
Excused: 460 (Representatives Culligan, Mason). Adapted.

Present: 15 Representatives.
PUBLIC HEARING
Chairman Dates called to order a public hearing on the Tompkins County
Alternatives to Incarceration Service Plan. Mrs. Nichols, Chairman of the
Alternatives to Incarceration Committee, said that the resolution on the agenda,
which provides the option of sentencing supervised labor for nonprofit community
organizations in place of "weekends only" jail terms, was unanimously supported
by the Alternatives to Incarceration Committee.
No one else wished to speak and the public hearing was closed at 5:37 p.m.
The minutes of April 3 and April 9 were approved. (Mrs. Livesay will see
the Clerk of the Board.)
It was Moved by Mr. Culligan, seconded by Mr. Stein to add to the agenda a
motion to reconsider Resolution No. 101 - Declaring Certain Hospital Premises No
Longer Needed for Public Use and Authorization to Execute Conveyance of Parcels
to Tompkins Community Hospital. Motion adopted by voice vote with Mr. Watros
voting no. It was Moved by Mr. Culligan, seconded by Mr. Stein to reconsider
Resolution No. 101. Motion adopted by voice vote with Mrs. Livesay voting no.
There was discussion about the Covenant to Not Compete that is attached to
Resolution No. 101, and Mr. Stein explained that at the time this resolution was
adopted and the covenant was included, the Board did not have a copy 'of the
covenant in -hand. Mr. Stein asked whether it was the Board's intention to
include the first paragraph of the covenant, which states that "the buyer shall
negotiate with the Hospital Corporation or its successors or assigns the pur-
chase of services" that are listed. After further discussion, it was the con-
sensus of the Board that prior to closing, the negotiators point out to the
Hospital the Board's interpretation that the words "shall negotiate" do not
demand the buyer to purchase these services from the Hospital, but they mean
that the buyer will sincerely try to negotiate with the Hospital for these
services before obtaining them by another means. The Board unanimously readopted
Resolution No. 101 - Declaring Certain Hospital Premises No Longer Needed for
Public Use and Authorization to Execute Conveyance of Parcels to Tompkins Com-
munity Hospital as adopted on April 9, 1985. Two-thirds of the cotal.weighted
vote of the Board required For adoption. Ayes: 1,266. Noes: 0,
Under privilege of the floor, John Gutenberger, Mayor of the City of Ithaca,
said the City does not invest in any companies or institutions Chat do business in
South Africa, and he urged the Board to adopt the same policy for the County by
supporting the divestment resolution on the agenda. He said that supporting this
resolution supports the United States Cc'stitution, which states that all citizens
are treated fairly and equally under the law, and supporting the United States
Constitution is part of an elected official's oath of office.
88
April 23, 1985
Under privilege of the floor, Julian Fleron, a Cornell University student,
presented petitions to the Board on behalf of the petitioners and protesters at
Cornell University,which state that they are grateful that the elected county
legislators are seriously considering the issues that surround the struggle for
a free South Africa.
Under privilege of. the floor, Nancy Tresner of 211 Pleasant Street, Ithaca,
urged the Board to support the divestment resolution on the agenda as a message
to the South African government that we will not tolerate apartheid.
Under privilege of the floor, Jim Morrissette of Coddington Road urged
divestment of County funds from any business with an interest in the country
of South Africa. He said that as members of a democracy, we have an obligation
to reject the blatant and insulting evil of apartheid.
Under privilege of the floor, Michael Cohen of 108 Esty Street said he feels
that voting against the divestment resolution would raise questions about not only
one's opposition to apartheid but.also one's -commitment to freedom in this country.
He said there can be no end to racism in the United States if we continue to sup-
port racism beyond our borders.
Under privilege of the floor, Paul Fairbanks of 509 Cascadilla Street said
that as a taxpayer, he does not want to see the County invest its revenue in banks
or institutions doing business in South Africa, where separation of the races is
the national policy. He feels there is a potential for a holocaust in South
Africa, and indirect support of that government bloodies our hands as well. He
said that in addition to the moral aspect, there is the secondary aspect of in-
vesting in a country where a revolution may be imminent.
Under privilege of the floor, Ben Nichols of 109 Llenroc Court said he sup-
ports the statements made about the effect of apartheid on millions of people in
South Africa and the moral effect on us if we support it, and he urged the Board
to support the divestment resolution on the agenda.
Under privilege of the floor, Jim Markowitz, a resident of Tompkins County
and a professor of Labor Relations at Ithaca College, urged the Board to support
the resolution on the agenda, and he said that if counties and other local govern-
ments throughout the country with fiscal authority pass similar resolutions, a
message will be sent not only to South Africa but also to the federal government
that something must be done about the situation in South Africa.
Under privilege of the floor, Richard Daly of Myers Road, Lansing, spoke
against the divestment resolution and said that if the Board becomes involved
with world issues, then he feels there is an obligation to address all questions
and not simply a few or even one.
Under privilege of the floor, Richard Mulvey, 1101 Hector Street, Ithaca,
said he does not think anyone can approve of apartheid, however he does not feel
that the County Board of Representatives should devote rime to debating inter-
national affairs when we have other government officials whom we have elected to
do this.

Under privilege of the floor, Mark Maier of Danby said he feels that rhe
Board has the option of investing County money in more moral ways which do not
support a racist government.
Under privilege of the floor, Phil Jordan, 112 Hudson Street, Ithaca, said
that before voting, Board members need to decide whether the geographical and
economical significance and importance of South Africa is worth the cost of human
life.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Stein said he has noticed that during the
last few weeks The Ithaca Journal has not been sending reporters to all County

he feels that The Ithaca Journal should reorganize so that every County meeting
is attended and reported to the public.
Mr. Tillapaugh, Chairman of the Health Committee, said the committee met
April 10 and in addition to an appointment and the action reflected on the agenda,

sible impact of the proposed federal budget on health-related programs.

tion of the Hector Ranger District of the Green Mountain National Forest to the

the budget problems of the SPCA.

Board members to attend. He said the committee plans to present the preliminary
design of the facility to the Board on May 7, which he said contains 35 cells with
the capability of providing 55 beds. He said the committee feels this will pro-
vide greater flexibility in program operation and will accommodate the County for
many years.
Mr. Freeman, Chairman of the Public Works Committee, said the committee met
April 15 and their action is reflected on the agenda.
Mr. Stein, Chairman of the Planning and Development Committee, said that in
discussing the use of the old hospital building, the Biggs Complex Negotiating
Committee, co-chaired by Mr. Stein and Mr. Freeman, is also discussing County
office space, including the Department of Social Services. Mr. Stein informed

April 23, 1985
Mrs. Call, Chairman of the Human Services Committee, said that in addition
to the action reflected on the agenda, she will have an appointment to recommend
at the appropriate time. She said sheattended a seminar for local officials in
Montour Falls which was sponsored by the Secretary of.State's office, and'she will
be attending the Social Trends Conference next week which will focus on youth.
Mrs. Call said the Affirmative Action Plan has been prepared and distributed to
the Board, and she asked that any comments be returned to her in writing by May 10.
She said there are still two vacancies on the Office for the Aging Advisory Com-
mittee and three vacancies on the Economic Opportunity Corporation Board of
Directors.
Mr. Watros, Chairman of the Budget and Administration Committee, said the
committee met April 15 and -in addition to the action reflected on the agenda,
the committee discussed the divestiture resolution. He said this resolution did
not receive a committee recommendation, but it is a minority report of the Budget
and Administration Committee. In addition, Mr. Watros said the committee dis-
cussed the possibility of developing a bureau to promote tourism in the Couaty,
which would be funded through a hotel/motel room tax. He said the Planning and
Development and Budget and Administration Committees will study this and bring
forth a recommendation later in the year.
Mr. Heyman, Interim County Administrator, said he will have an appointment
to recommend to the Board at the appropriate time. In addition, he said that

Fred Hoffman, Systems Analyst, for his thoroughness and care in developing this
proposal for the Board's consideration.
At the request of Mr. Watros, the resolution entitled Regrading of Position -
Health Department was withdrawn from this agenda and will be on the May 7 agenda.
RESOLUTION NO. 108 - DIVESTING PUBLIC MONIES FROM BANKS AND FIRMS WING BUSINESS
WITH OR IN THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA AND NAMIBIA
Moved by Mr. Lifton, seconded by Mrs. Nichols. Mr. Lifton said many South
African leaders have called for divestment, and he believes that it would be
within the best interests of South Africans, would be an easy policy for the
County to implement, and would free Tompkins County taxpayers from indirectly
supporting the legalized system of racism in South Africa. There was lengthy
discussion, and Mrs. Livesay said she feels that the issue is how the county
invests its revenue, and she feels we should invest in Tompkins County. Mr. Mason
said he feels that supporting this action would help co economically and politi-
cally overthrow a foreign government and would result in hurting the people we
intend to help. Mt. Winch said he lived in North Africa for 15 months as a teen-
ager and has had many discussions with black Africans over the last 20 years
through his employment at Cornell University about the conditions in that country.
He said that although he does not support apartheid, he cannot support this resolu-
tion because he believes this action would cause mass unemployment among blacks
for one or two generations before any benefits will be seen, and he suggested that
efforts against specific companies would have a more positive impact. Mr. Watros
said this debate is not centered around the moral aspect of the South African
government, and negative votes should not be construed to be ones that favor racism.
•91
April 23, 1985
He feels thatthe issue is logistics, and he said this Board should deal with
the business of Tompkins County, and as'individuals we should make our concerns
known to our representatives at the state and federal level. Chairman pates
thanked the public and the Board for the way in which they presented their views.
A roll call vote was taken. Ayes: 1,587 (Representatives Culligan, Lifton,

be completed within six months of final approval of this resolution. During
that six month period, the County Administrator shall make regular reports to
the Board of Representatives concerning the progress of divestiture. If, prior

that completion of divestiture within the six month time limit will necessitate
substantial losses, then the Board shall consider a brief extension of time within
which to complete divestiture,

the New York State Legislature to pass Assembly Bill No. 250 - AN ACT to amend

Under privilege of the floor, Clarice Abbott of the City of Ithaca said that
an amendment to the 1966 resolution that imposed sales taxes stated that these
taxes would be used as a substitute for rather than an addition to real estate
taxes and would be used to help reduce real estate taxes. She said the Board has

estate taxes while receiving record-breaking sales tax income, and she urged the
Board to adopt the budget before election day this year to assure that this does
not happen in 1986.

pressed her concerns about the decision to place all casework staff at the

payers receive the best quality of service for the lowest dollar.

July 9, 1985
Under privilege of the floor, Dan Kramer said he has concerns about the
proposed on-call system that is to be implemented in the Department of Social
Services on August 1. He said the plan would require all casework staff to be
on call for twelve days per year, in many cases outside their area of expertise.
He said this is an important issue which should be publicly discussed, or imple-
mentation should be postponed until the union action is resolved and discussion
can be held.
Chairman Dates said this is a management decision that will be referred to
Mrs. Call, Chairman of the Human Services Committee. Mrs. Call said that the
committee has been advised by the County Attorney that discussion should be held
in executive session and that because of the filing of an improper practice charge
by the employees' union, the matter is now out of the committee's jurisdiction.
There was lengthy discussion about the possibility of allowing discussion of those
items that are not related to the grievance, and it was Moved by Mr. Lifton, sec-
onded by Mrs. Livesay to challenge the ruling of the Chair. Mrs. Howell said that
in accordance with the Rules of the Board, a roll call will be taken on the ques-
tion "Shall the ruling of the Chair be sustained?" and the Chairman does not vote
on an appeal. Ayes: • 1;702 (Representatives Mason, Proto, Shurtleff, Tillapaugh,

Slattery, Stein, Culligan).. Excused: 326 (Representative Winch). Chairmau Dates:
404. Mr. Williamson ruled that because neither side received the necessary 2,000
votes for a majority, the Chair prevails. Mrs. Call said she will meet with the
County Attorney, the Commissioner of Social Services, and the spokesperson for the
caseworkers to separate those items which are not related to the grievance and may
be discussed.
Under privilege of the floor, Mrs, Livesay said she attended a discussion on
the Open Meetings Law. She referred to a proposed resolution she distributed that
reouests the State legislature to repeal an amendment to the law which she feels is
so broad as to permit a majority of -any body to make public decisions.in private,
and she asked that the Budget and Administration Committee consider the proposed
resolution.
Mr. Tillapaugh, Chairman of the Health Committee, updated the Board on the
committee business that is not reflected on the agenda.
Mr. Culligan, Chairman of the Education Committee, said the committee will
have several appointments to recommend later in the meeting.
Mr. Mason, Chairman of the Public Safety and Corrections Committee, referred
to the appropriation on the agenda to pay attorney's fees Eor legal defense of
indigents and noted that this amount will only pay for bills that are currently
outstanding and will not cover any bills incurred before the end of the year.
Mr. Mason, Chairman of the Jail Study Committee, said that after the con-
sultants have adequately addressed the rest of the concerns that have been raised,
he will notify Mr. Hazen and the media of an informational meeting and presentation
of the plans for the public safety building to allow the public another opportunity
to see what is being proposed and to comment.

of the day care survey be referred to her in the near future.

REGULAR MEETING
November 19, 1985
Chairman Dates called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m.
Members and guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance:
Present: 15 Representatives.
Under privilege of the floor, Charles Becker, Vice President of the Tompkins
County Chamber of Commerce, spoke in favor of the resolution entitled Petitioning
New York State Legislature to Authorize a Local Law Levying a Tax on Occupancy of
Hotel/Motel Rooms. Re said the Chamber proposes the establishment of a Convention
and Visitors' Bureau to be funded through,a lodging tax levied by the County on
the occupancy of hotel and motel rooms. He said the Chamber feels that this
Bureau will be beneficial by bringing more business to Tompkins County, creating
new jobs, and generating additional sales tax revenues.
Under privilege of the floor, Douglas Salter, a resident of Tompkins County
and president of the Ithaca -based company National Punning Data Corporation,
spoke against the lodging tax resolution on the agenda. He said the tax will
affect his out-of-town employees and customers and will increase his cost of
doing business. Mr. Salter said the economy of New York State is not conducive
to small business operation, and he feels that this tax will reduce his oppor-
tunities to expand and create new jobs in the community.
Under privilege of the floor. Chuck Johns, owner of the Varna Inn, said he
is not in favor of the proposed lodging tax because he does not want taxpayer
dollars to be spent on advertising or subsidizing his business. He. suggested
that one alternative would be for motel owners themselves to voluntarily con-
tribute
ontribute to the tourism bureau.
Under Privilege of the floor, Ralph Jordan, past Executive Director of the Chamber of
.Commerce, spoke in favor of the proposed room tax, Fie explained that this is not an additional tax on
County taxpayers, rather it is a fee charged to visitors to this community which is deposited in this
community for the goods and services they expect. Mr. Jordan feels this is the most effective means of
increasing the economy of this County.
Under privilege of the floor, Chris Boehme, an employee of Danny's Place,
spoke in favor of the Convention and Visitors' Bureau. He said he sympathizes
with the burdens of taxation but said this is a proven method of bringing outside
dollars into the community and will benefit many types of businesses. He feels
that the tax will help to maintain or increase existing jobs in addition to
creating new jobs.
Under privilege of the floor, William Bennett, President of the Chamber of
Commerce, spoke in favor of the lodging tax resolution en the agenda. He said
the intent of the Chamber's proposal is to phase out the use of County funds for
the promotion and advertising of tourism activities and develop an alternate fund-
ing source for these services.
264
November 19, 1985
Under privilege of the floor, Charlotte Stone, past President of the Chamber
of Commerce, spoke in support of the lodging tax. She noted that tourism is the
second largest income -generating industry in New York State, and she said that
the lodging tax has proven successful in many communities as a means of receiving
fees from visitors for services provided in that community.
Under privilege of the floor, Ray Sordoni, of the Chamber of Commerce, noted
that in addition to the saving in the County budget for the tourism allocation,
the Chamber's proposal will also result in a saving in the City of Ithaca budget
of approximately $15,000 for the tourism allocation. He said this should be con-
sidered along with increased sales tax revenue..
Under privilege of the floor, Alan Colby spoke on behalf of the Howard Johnson
Company and said that as inkeepers, they acknowledge the benefits a Convention
and Visitors' Bureau would provide to a wide segment of the community. However,
he said they are not in favor of an additional tax and feel that this tax specifi-
cally is an arbitrary way to raise revenues. Mr. Colby said they are very concerned
that if this tax is approved, the guidelines and governing rules of the Convention
and Visitor's Bureau be explicit in defining the use of the revenues solely for
purposes of generating tourism in the area.
Under privilege o€ the floor, Ellen Rosten of Collegetown Motor Lodge said
she feels that all citizens of Tompkins County will benefit from the room tax
if the revenues are administered by a -Convention and Visitors' Bureau because the
dollars will be used to continue or enhance programs that are expected and needed
in the County.
Mr. Tillapaugh, Chairman of the Health Committee, said the committee's
business is reflected on the agenda.
Mr. Culligan, Chairman of the Education Committee, said the committee's
business is reflected on the agenda, and he announced that there are two vacancies
on the Job Training Council.
Mr. Mason, Chairman of the Public Safety and Corrections Committee, said the
next committee meeting is scheduled for November 26.
Mr. Mason, Chairman of the Jail Committee, said construction has begun on
the new building, and he said the working committee meets with the project
manager every week at the construction site to review the status of the job.
Mr. Freeman, Chairman of the Public Works Committee, said the action of
the committee is reflected on the agenda. He also noted that the eommittee heard
a presentation by representatives of Yates County concerning solid waste disposal.
Mr. Stein, Chairman of the Planning and Development Committee, said a joint
meeting with the Human Services Committee is scheduled for November 20 to dis-
cuss office space for the Department of Social Services. He also announced that
there will be a meeting in Tompkins County on November 22 of the Upstate Public

November 19, 1985
Utilities Service Association regarding the status of contracts with investment -
owned utilities. Mr. Stein said the Geohydrolic Study of the Landstrom Landfill
has been received, and Mr. Liguori briefly reported on his interpretation of the
study.
Mrs. Call, Chairman of the Human Services Committee, said the actions of the
committee are reflected on the agenda in resolutions and appointments. She
announced that the County Home Bazaar is scheduled for November 23, and the Youth
Conference is scheduled for November 25.
Mr. Watros, Chairman of the Budget and Administration Committee, updated the
Board on the committee business that is not reflected on the agenda, and he said
they will be discussing the establishment of a sick bank for County employees to
donate accumulated benefits to be used by other County employees in need.
Mr. Heyman, Interim County Administrator, said a public sale of serial bonds
for the communications system and the Public Safety Building is scheduled for
December 18, in the County Administrator's office.

Building was added to the agenda by voice vote.

committees' recommendations by adding to the end of Item 1 ". . . at two percent
for three years." Amendment unanimously adopted by voice vote. There was dis-
cussion and Mr. Lifton said that although he feels that the Chamber of Commerce
is capable of.operating a Convention and Visitors' Bureau, he believes the
resolution should be worded to permit fair competition for use of the funds and
administration of the Bureau and not designate the Chamber of Commerce specifi-
cally. It was Moved by Mrs. Livesay, seconded by Mr. Stein to amend item 3 to
read, ". . thereafter to .be allocated for the purposes of improving the economy
in Tompkins County through the development and promotion of tourism as an industry."
Mr. Stein said that the Chamber of Commerce is the originator of this proposal, and,
from the.discussions he has had with their representatives, Mr. Stein feels that
severing this linkage would not be acceptable to the Chamber. A voice vote was

feels that a Groton to Ithaca bus run needs to be made at 6 a.m. He also said
he does not feel that the old hospital is the proper location for the Department
of Social Services when there are so many downtown possibilities.
Under privilege of the floor, Merrell Shipherd said he feels it is very
important for the municipalities and industries in Tompkins County to carefully
review common concerns and pool their resources for positive solutions. He
also suggested that a health care and human services campus would be abeneficial
use of the property in the hospital area.

Require That Certain Local Taxes be Paid on the Proposed Medical Office Building.
He said he has learned that this action at this time might seriously jeopardize
the project, so he intends to withdraw the resolution. However, he still has
concerns. He feels that the Board did not have all the necessary information
at the time action was taken; he feels that the County must review its policies
on tax exemptions at a time of serious budgetary concerns; and he feels that
the role of the Industrial Development Agency must be reviewed.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Winch informed the Board of the death
of Jeannette Beach, former Town Clerk of the Town of Newfield.
Mr. Tillapaugh, Chairman of the Health Committee, said the committee's

refused to implement the Board's proposal to collect reimbursement from indi-
viduals who received legal defense as indigents and later became solvent. He
said the Ruling also denies implementation of chis plan.

updated the Board on this project and said that construction will be haulted

tor of Probation Search Committee. There was discussion about Board member's

should have access to records of those applicants not recommended to the Board.

Retardation/Developmental Disabilities and the Divisions of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse,
Tompkins County Community Mental Health Services Board
Mental Health Subcommittee
The work plan of the subcommittee reflected the 1985 Local Govt. Plan program priorities, and regular
updates from the Clinic and Meadow House. In addition, the subcommittee reviewed 1986 program and
budget requests from the Clinic, Meadow House, Suicide Prevention and Crisis Services, Mental Health
Association, and Emergency Housing Shelter. A 1986 Local Govt. Plan was Developed which continued the
priorities identified in the 1985 plan.
Program Priorities
1. Crisis Services The subcommittee met regularly with Clinic representatives to review the status of
changes in the Emergency Outreach Service and After Hours programs which the subcommittee had
recommended be implemented.
2. Community Residences The subcommittee approved expansion plans for Evergreen and the supportive
apartment program operated by HOMES, INC. Agency representatives also updated the subcommittee on
the new OMIT community residence structure.
3. Vocational Rehabilitation Services The subcommittee met with members of the Challenge rehabilitation
staff. to review current and planned programs far the OMH population.
4. Case Management The subcommittee approved the transfer from the CSS funded case management
program to the Mental Health Department and monitored its transition.
379
informational presentation on agency activities. It also approved submission of a proposal to provide
demonstration funding for the Aurora Street Friends program.
Mental Health Clinic and Meadow House
The subcommittee met regularly with the Mental Health Clinic Director to review various clinic programs,
including Elmira PC/children and youth, forensic, VA, and emergency services. Staff from Family and
Children's Service and Willard outpatient also discussed coordination of clinic services among providers and
management of waiting lists. Representatives from Meadow House staff and advisory committee provided a
program update.
MR/DD Subcommittee
A large part of the Committee's time during the first half of the year was occupied with reviewing the 1986
plans and budgets for the Special Children's Center, the Ithaca Youth Bureaa's Adult Recreation Program,
and, in conjunction with the MH Subcommittee, for Challenge Industries and HOMES, INC. In the course
of our review the Committee hold visit meetings, in March and April, at SCC and at challenge.
At our January meeting we received and discussed a proposal from Asbury Hill Farms for a program of
riding for handicapped persons. Thc Committee found the proposal attractive and promising, but so far as
we know there have been no further developments.
As we have reported to the Board on several occasions. the committee received progress reports on the
establishment of a respite program. This program, supported by OMRIDD funding, is now in operation, as a
program of the Special Children's Center, with respite coordinator and twelve respite providers. Much credit
is due to the members of the Respite Council and above all to its Chairman, Caroline Bartell, for bringing
this valuable project to fulfillment
The committee is aware that there is much .more to be done in respite care and in the related area of
parent/family member training. Richard J. Thamaseq Director of BDC, in his letter of 9/17185 accepting the
Tompkins County 1986 MR/DD Service. Plan, asked us to concentrate on day training and parent/family
member training and we arc undertaking to do so. At the December.meeling of the Committee, Mary
Hutchings, of BOCES and the SCC, gave us a report on the current programs in parent training at SCC and
BOLES, and we hope to have further information on this matter at out February meeting. It is clear that in
Me plans of the Slate OMRDD, family support services are given high priority. Ina memorandum of 9/1186
to MR/DD directors, Commissioner Webb states that more than 75% of the substantially developmentally
disabled NY residents live at home, and stresses the need for respite services, other support services, and day
program expansion.
•
We expect that family support services and day programs will be among the items that occupy the
Committee in 1986.
Substance Abuse Subcommittee
Alcoholism Services
1985 was a year of planning for expansion of services. The Alcoholism Council moved to new larger
quarters and added two counseling staff positions. Tompkins Community Hospital opened a detoxification
service and submitted a funding proposal for an alcoholism crisis center. HOMES, INC. agreed to develop a
planning proposal for a community residence. These new initiatives were included in the 1986 Local Govt.
Plan.
The subcommittee also approved a funding proposal to support restructuring of the Alcoholism Council
management staff to reflect expansion of clinical services and theproposed community residence program.
Drug Abuse Services
Thc Subcommittee reviewed and approved the 1985-86 Alpha House program and budget. It also met with
representatives of the Division of Substance Abuse Services to clarify the County's role in budget
formulation, program and fiscal evaluation. Thc 1986 Substance Abuse plan. approved by the
3S0
providers and that a school board intervention/prevention program be established at BOCES.
DIRECT SERVICES
Mental Health Clinic
Services at the Mental Health Clinic increased significandy in 1985. We have continued the
practice initiated in 1984 of increasing available hours to include evening appointments Monday through
Thursday. We have continued tW empbasixe emergency and forensic services. Our contract with the
Veterans Administration continued with a decreased capacity because of legislative changes which resulted
in cuts in funding for this program. Case management services increased significantly in 1985, Narratives
about these four programs highlight 1985 activities. Program statistics follow the narrative section.
EMERGENCY SERVICES
The Emergency Outreach Service provides mobile crisis intervention assessment and follow up.
1985 marked a year of transition for the program. Full coverage was suspended at the cnd of March. Two-
day -a -week coverage resumed in mid-July, and full coverage in mid-September. The most significant
changes in the internal structure of the program are outlined below:
1) The program is now shared by two staff members at the Clinic; one covering 908 two days a
weeks, the other covering FOS three days a week.
2) The program now operates almost entirely out of the Clinic, though EOS workers check in
regularly Monday and Friday at Suicide Prevention and Crisis Service.
3) The program has expanded in conception to include services to populations who have
traditionally not been able to make use of existing mental health services, such as the seriously ill and shot -
ins. The program has also been covering the jail for the forensic worker when she is unable to make
regularly scheduled visits.
4) The program has begun to expand the concept of the second team member to include either a
person already involved in tete client's "system or someone from a potential referral agency.
The above changes, which have allowed job sharing and integration of clinical and outreach
experiences, seem to be working well. Because of these changes, significant effort was made in the fall to
educate potential community referral sources regarding services available through EOS. Impact of the
program's transition is reflected in the statistical data following the naRalive sections.
AFTER HOURS PROGRAM
Everting. weekend and holiday coverage is provided by the Clinic's After Hours program and
provides a response capability when all of the usual mental health agencies arc closed. The program
provides for an on-call professional to be available on a weekly shift in the Emergency Room at Tompkins
Community Hospital. Comparative statistics indicate that, daring 1985, there was a significant reduction
(33%) in total eontaet3 as compared to the two prior years. and a corresponding reduction in consultant's
income. This appears to be as a resultof greater involvement by staff of the psychiatric unit in providing
coverage to the Emergency Room. Th. Tompkins Community Hospital Emergency Room, which supplied
70% and 72% of referrds in the two prior years accounted for only 57% in 1985. On the other hand, the
share of referrals from Police/Jail doubled, to I5% in 1985.
The Clinic's supervisory psychologist directs this program and meets with the After Hours
consnita [5 at least once every three months, or more often, in case there are problems which have 10 be
dealt with. The EOS workers am included in these meetings, to facilitate coordination between EOS and
After Hours. He is also available for consultation with the consultants for problems which may arise during
their tour of duty.
FORENSIC PROGRAM
There are several components to the Forensic Menial Health services provided by Tompkins
County Mental Health Clinic. One Psychiatric Social Worker is at the Tompkins County Jail Monday
381
services to the jail. This extra assistance has assured inmates of timely assistance, 7hc primary services
provided are assessment of suicide lethality, referral to psychiatrist for medication or hospitalization, crisis
=trading. and a small amount of ongoing individual therapy. The Forensic Social Worker also co -leads a
weekly support group with an OAR staff member for jail inmates.
A second component of the Forensic Program is treatment provided to sex offenders. The
Tompkins County Mental Health Clinic currently runs two sex offenders groups. Each group is nun by a
mate and a female therapist Prior to joining a group, each sex offender is given an evaluation, typically
consisting of 4-6 individual appointments. Most sex offenders arc mandated into treatment by Probation,
Family Court or parole. The sex offenders, referred to the Clinic, primarily are incest offenders, although the
treatment needs of a wide range of sex offenders are addressed. Most members of the sex offenders groups
are in need of individual and family therapy as well as group therapy. Presently, the most pressing need in
the Forensic Program is for a family therapist to be available immediately after disclosure of sexual abuse to
asses the family's needs for treatment, to help the family cope with the crisis created by disclosure, and to
assist CPS personnel in determining the child's safety in his or her home.
The third component of Tompkins County Mental Health Clinic Forensic services is court
ordered evaluations. The Clinic Director, handles the referrals from Probation and the Courts and assigns
clients to Clinic staf for evaluation. Ow consulting psychiatrists are available to handle Article 730
Evaluations. Two staff psychologists conduct psychological tests when needed for court ordered

The final aspect of the Forensic Program i5 that clinical staff provides ongoing therapy to persons
on probation and parole who are mandated to participate in therapy.
VIETNAM VETERANS PROGRAM
The Clinic has served one hundred thirty one Vietnam era veterans since it was first awarded a
contract by the Veterans Administration. Eighty percent of those who have received services are diagnosed
as suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. Diagnoses of others referred to the program have
included, various forms of depression, anxiety and marital problems. Sixty-two percent of the veterans
were Vietnam Theatre Veterans. In 1985, our contact included services 10 Veterans from Tompkins.
Cortland, Chemung, Cayuga, and Schuyler Counties. Cases have remained opened from seven months to
Mime years.
Group, individual, and family therapies arc provided. Forty veterans have attended weekly group
sessions, twenty veterans have attended weekly or bi-weekly individual sessions, twenty-seven attended both
individual and group sessions, eight received individual and family therapy, thirty-one have received
psychiatric treatment at some point during their therapy.
Services initiated under the contract are through referral only and must be approved by the
Veterans Administration before the Clinic can bill the VA. Because there is often a significant time lag in
receiving approval, the Clinic has instituted a policy of providing services when the referral is received.
CASE MANAGEMENT
For the first ren months of 1985, this Clinic program remained in the Adult Services Unit of the
Department of Social Services. Following discussions between the Director of Mental Health Services and
the Commissioner of Social Services a decision was reached to transfer direct operation of the program to
the Mental Health Department -
Fallowing approval by the NYS Office of Mental Health and the Tompkins County Board of
Representatives, the program moved to its new quarters at 120 West State Street in mid-November. Staff
included five full time caseworkers, one senior caseworker, a psychiatric social worker, and a typist In
addition to providing an advocacy, linkage and monitoring role for its clients, the Mental Health Department
assumed financial management responsibilities for thirty five persons who received Social Security or
Veterans Administration benefits.

The figures graphically illustrate the tremendous growth of this program since 1983. Average
number of clients on the mils in 1985 reflected a 61% increase over a similar number in 1981 Case
management hours provided to clients has increased 70% over 1983 levels. The program will add a sixth
caseworker position in 1986. While we anticipate continued growth both in client numbers and case mgt.
hours, the program should stabilize somewhat in the coming year.

Meadow House, certified by the N.Y.S. Office of Mental Health as a Continuing Treatment Program, is
operated by Tompkins County Mental Health Services for adults with persistent psychiatric disabilities.
Persons receiving services usually require program from 3-5 hours a day, one to five days a week.
In 1985 the agency continued to provide Or assure by agreement with other agencies) the full range of
Continuing Treatment Services: Assessment and treatment planning, ease management function, crisis
services, medication therapy, social training, socialization, task and skill training, and verbal therapia.
Efforts were made to maintain and enhance service delivery as well: (a) Their program was re -certified for
another two years; and (B) the expectation programs in the mornings, and more informal, club and socially
oriented programs in the afternoons. The hoped-for new Work Activities Program, however, was not
instituted. for reasons of funding.
Staff resignation and illness during the last half of the year contributed to a drop in services to clients. The
major contributing factor was a change in the client population. A decrease in the older individuals served
by the program noted first in 1984 continued in 1935. Psychiatric hospitalizations affected about 12%. of
Meadow House enrollment, Probably the most important factor, which may bo viewed as a positive sign
was the transitioning of Meadow House clients to Challenge Industries and WPC's Hospital Industries. With
a comparatively small County population base, new referrals were not sufficient to fill the gap created by the
factors noted above.
Funding implications as the result of this decrease in service arc also significant and may mean introduction
of programs and budget adjustments in 1986.

Env ironmental/EMC 13
Miscellaneous (Administration and Office) 10
Economic fl%
Transportation 8
Land Usc 5
The Department performed activities in a variety of areas during 1985. The primary
focuses of the Department were community assistance, public transportation and work
on environmental concerns. Significant staff time was also spent on transportation
planning, economic planning, land (Inc planning and other miscellaneous items.
Among major projects performed in the community assistance category were the
development of a grant application on behalf of the Town of Lansing fora water main
extension, the performance of a County Office Space Study and support of activities to
redraw the Census Tract boundaries in Tompkins County. The Office Space Study
resulted in the moving of several departments from downtown to the Biggs Complex,
which was formerly the Tompkins County Hospital.
The Department also participated in the Airpon Land Use Study, the Specie Jail
Committee and design and planning work on County parking facilities. The
Department also assisted several municipalities with zoning and subdivision regulation
updates, as well as assisting a variety of boards and commissions on planning -related
matters.
The Tomtran Rural Public Transit program performed several new functions in 1985,
including the beginning of new service to Ulysses and Newfield, the extension of the
original ARC grant for Tomtran facilities and a survey of Caro -Van riders to determine
what ways service could be improved. Tomtran also simplified and improved its
schedules during 1985 and performed work to obtain more funding assistance.
In enviroruntntal planning, the Department worked in the following areas; a site
location study for microwave towers as part of the Public Safety Building, completing
the long Environmental Assessment Form for the Biggs Complex for the transfer of
County Departments from downtown to the Complex, the Tompkins County
Freshwater Wetlands project and three educational programs for environmental
awareness, which were performed in conjunction with the Tompkins County
Environmental Management Council.

improvements. Projects analyzed through Department study include a functional
classification of highways in Tompkins County, work on Route 13 and 96
improvements as well as improvements to Forest Home Drive and Pine Tree Road, and
an application for State funding for local design projects for highway and railroad
crossing improvements.
The economic planning efforts of the Department included staff assistance to the
Economic Advisory Board, Industrial Development Agency and Tompkins County
Area Development
The Department's land use planning work included projects on landfill site location,
solid waste disposal, signage of County forest lands, mapping of industrial and
commercial activities in the County, completion of a boundary map for Agricultural
Districts and new maps showing the location of existing and proposed areas for
microwave towers.
A plan of action for the coming three years was adopted by the Commissioner to
continue and improve the overall service and effectiveness of the Planning
Department_
Commissioner prank Liguori considered the year a success, stating that the staff had
done a credible job and there was much to look forward to in 1986.

PROBATION DEPARTMENT
FAMILY COURT INTAKE
The Family Court Act provides for an adjustment process in that "the probation service may
confer with any person seeking to file a petition, the potential respondent and other interested persons
concerning the advisability of filing a petition; to attempt through conciliation and agreement to adjust
suitable cases before a petition is filed over which the court apparently would have jurisdiction."
Probation Officers screen cases to determine which ones may be adjusted within the probation
department's intake service, which cases need court action, and which cases should/must be referred to other
community agencies. The probation officer attempts to adjust as many appropriate casts as possible. As this
process is one in which the parties provide input, with the probation officer's assistance, the panes are
ultimately resolving the conflict themselves. However, the probation officer may not prevent any person
who wishes to file a petition from having access to the court for that purpose. Successful adjustments divert
those cases from the court process, and, thus, spare the parties the emotional trauma and financial expense of
a court proceeding.
1n 1985 the Probation Department received a total of 444 cases, There were 92 JD, 93 PINS, 104
Family Offense, 36 Support, 118 Custody, and one conciliation case opened. The largest decrease in number
of cases opened occurred in the category of Custody.
Overall 43% of the total cases were adjusted at the Intake level without involvement of the
Family Court. In 46 cases (of the total 444) there was no fonow through by the pasties. The largest
percentages of adjustment occurred for Juvenile Delinquents (77%) and for Support (6196). Family Offenses
were only adjusted in 16% of the cases; however, in 75% of the Family Offense cases, the Probation
Department assisted the complainant in preparing a petition for the Family Court or in seeking counsel in
order to access the Family Court.
10 1986 the Probation Department received a total 01444 intake cases maintaining the same level
of cases as in 1985. These cases included 140 JD eases, 60 PINS referrals, 107 Custody/Visitation cases, 48
Support cases, and 89 Family Offense cases. The most significant increase was the 52% increase in the
number of JD referrals; however, this was somewhat offset by a decline in the PiWS cases.
67% oflhe JD and 47% of the PINS cases were successfully adjusted without court intervention.
Of the remaining JD and PINS cases, 41were referred to Family Court for immediate intervention at the
request of the respondent, respondent's parent or guardian, the complainant, and/or the screening probation
personnel. 19 other cases were referred to Family Court as unresolved during the intake process.
With regard to other family issues, Custody and Visitation casts were resolved in 54% of 1150
cases. 48% of the Support cases were adjusted through intake services. 81% of the Family Offense cases
were referred to petition immediately in order that the petitioner access the court to obtain a temporary order
of protection. The probation department assisted the petitioner in preparing the petition in many of these
cases.
During the first 9 months of 1986, Intake Services were provided by seven Core Probation
officers on a daily, rotating basis. 1st October tate entire intake component was incorporated as Ons of the
responsibilities of a newly created Probation Unit. AS one of its services, this new unit will provide
specialized intake services using a case management approach to meet the needs of families. This will
involve the continued cooperation among Probation, Social Services, schools, and other community agencies
to address the needs of these families.
The Family Court Intake Unit will also continue to assist parties in reaching mutual agreements
regarding Custody, Visitation, and Support issues without the need for the sometimes adversarial atmosphere
of Family Court.

During 1986, the Probation Department continued its Release on Recognizance (ROR) and
Release Under Supervision (RUS) Programs in an attempt to facilitate release from jail without financial
conditions by identifying appropriate defendants for Release on Recognizance or Conditional release. The
programs am only provided to those defendants who have not been convicted of the crime with which they
are charged
All defendants in custody are given the opportunity to be interviewed, except for those over
whom the Court has no jurisdiction to effect release (i.e. federal detainees, violations of probation m parole,
pending warrants, no bail offenses, ere.).
After an initial screening and personal interview with thc defendant, an investigation of his legal,
social and employment history, and checking personal references, a recommendation is made to the Court as
to the best release possibility. The recommendation may be for Release On Recognizance, Release Under
Supervision, no release, or release to a third party (parents, ere.). 1f Release Under Supervision is
recommended, specific conditions of release arc submitted to the Court-
During
ourt
During 1986, a total of 342 individuals were remanded to the jail. Two hundred thirty-eight
investigations were completed and forwarded to the Courts as opposed to 114 investigations completed in
1985. The remainder of the oases consisted of defendants who were released on bail, sentenced, or had
additional warrants filed prior to the submission of the report.

Probation Assistant
PRE-TRIAL DIVERSION PROGRAM
The Pre -Trial Diversion Program offers certain first time offenders, charged with a misdemeanor
or felony, an alternative to the traditional Court process. Successful completion of the program can result in
the defendant's having the pending charges dismissed. By referring many Cost time offenders to Diversion,
the Court frees itself to spend time with more complex cases. Diversion clients keep regular appointments
with our staff, visit Tompkins County Jail or Aubum State Prison, volunteer their time helping the
community, and pay restitution to the victims.
The standardized Policies and Procedures for the Pre -Trial Diversion Program, which were being
developed in 1984, were completed in 1985. They are now incorporated into the Departmental Policy and
Procedures Manual.
Historically, the two full time positions in the Pre -Trial Diversion Program were both Probation
Assistant positions. In 1983 one position was upgraded to Probation Officer. In 1985 we saw the remaining
Probation Assistant position upgraded also. This change was in response to both the growing number of
clients being serviced by the program as well as internal modifications designed to increase the program's
overall structure and effectiveness.
Further changes occurred in 1986 when the Pre -Trial Diversion Program became rhe
responsibility ofa Pre -adjudicatory services unit Within the department. The three Probation Officers in this
unit provide Family Court Intake Services as well as supervise Diversion clients.

The purpose of the probation investigation is to provide the ordering court with accurate, reliable
information in a succinct and analytical format, so as to assist the court in making decisions. Investigations
include social background information about the person(s) presently before the court and any other areas
which the cowl may wish to consider 31 the time of sentencing or final disposition of the case. The
Probation Department conducts investigations for the Family Coort and Criminal Courts.
The Criminal Procedure Law requires a presentence report for any felony or misdemeanor when a
sentence of probation, imprisonment for a term of 90 days or cumulative sentence of imprisonment
aggregating more tban ninety days is in order. An investigation for a misdemeanor charge, lesser offenses,
or a pre -plea may be ordered at the discretion of the coup.
The Family Court Act provides that prcdispositional investigations are required in 011 Juvenile
Delinquency cases. In Person in Need Of Supervision (PINS) cases a predisposMonal investigation is
discretionary, but is most often the rule locally. In addition, Family Court may order investigations
involving child custody, visitation, adoption, support, family offense, and parents who are before the Family
Court as a result of abuse or neglect of their child(ren).
Family Court Investigations
The total number of investigations ordered by the Family Court in 1985 decreased 25% from
1984 but increased 30% over 1984 in 1986.
The greatest percentage increase (500%) was evidenced by the Supplemental Investigation
category which includes addenda and up -dated reports for previously completed investigations.
However, the category comprised of Custody, Visitation, and Adoption Investigations (as a rule
the most involved and complicated investigations performed by the department) saw the greatest increase.
The number ordered during 1986 was 31 more than in 1984 and 37 more than in 1985.

All Felony investigations are initiated by County Court; whereas, misdemeanor investigations arc
ordered by city and justice courts as well as county court. Presentence investigations not only provide the
courts with information for decision making but also assist a multiplicity of agencies, including probation,
parole, and rehabilitative institutions to formulate treatment and supervisory plans.
In past years the number of Criminal Court Investigations reported in the annual reports reflected
not only the number of presentence investigations ordered but also by the Pre -Trial Release reports
completed. This year's annual report will only include presentence investigations ordered during 1985 and

PROBATION SUPERVISION
Over the years, the role of County Probation Departments in New York State has expanded to
meet the needs of the people of New York State. However, the major role of those departments remains the
supervision of persons sentenced to or placed on probation by the Courts. Such supervision has the
statewide objectives of providing public protection; preparing the probationer for independent, law-abiding
living; identifying, utilizing, and creating resources in the community 10 fulfill program needs of
probationers; providing an opportunity for full participation of the probationer in planning his activities in
the community; conducting a supervision program based on cost effectiveness; and providing recovery to
victims of criminal acts wherever practicable. Each person, juvenile or adult, who i5 placed under probation
supervision is court-ordered to fulfill certain conditions of probation such as the following: attend school or
be employed, obey all laws, obtain counseling, or pay restitution. Through living within the confines of
specific conditions, it is hoped that the probationer achieves the objectives and effects of his rehabilitation.
The probation officer provides the guidance and supervision deemed necessary by the Court to help the
probationer achieve rehabilitation.
Family Court Supervision
Family Count Probation Supervision primarily deals with juveniles, aged seven to sixteen years,
who have been adjudicated by the Court as Juvenile Delinquents (JD) or Persons in Need of Supervision
(PINS). In some cases of family offense, support., or child abuse or neglect, adults are supervised.
The total number of new Family Court Probationers received by this department in 1985 totaled

In addition to supervising persons who have been placed on probation by the Family Court
because of an adjudication based on the merits of a petition, probation officers are also ordered to supervise
persons who have been referred to the Court on a petition for Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal
(ACD). In such cases, the matter is adjourned for a set period of time and will be eventually dismissed if the

officer for the set length ail= and such supervision is called Pre-Dispositional Supervision.

Criminal Court Supervision
The Criminal Court Supervision function primarily deals with persons over sixteen years of age
who have committed a crime (misdemeanor or felony) and have been determined to be a low enough risk to
the community to allow them to remain out of jail or prison.
The number of felony supervisions received by the department in 1985 and 1986 increased over
the number received in 1984 by 19% arid 85% respectively.
Although the number of misdemeanor supervisions received in 1985 increased 7% over the
number received in 1984, the number received in 1986 represented a 16% decrease from 1984.

The Tompkins County Intensive Supervision/Alternative Sentencing Program (ISP/ASP)
continues in operation, and its guidelines remain basically the same as in 1983-1984. The program averages
six months and includes a two time per week personal contact with the probationer, an emphasis. on
employment and home visits; numerous collateral contacts with family, friends, and treatment providers; and
immediate communication with the courts if so wan -anted.
During the years of 1985 and 1986, there have been a total of 49 individuals who have been
selected by various Probation Officers, the Intensive Supervision Officer, and Probation Supervisors as
appropriate for Intensive Supervision. These individuals are usually identified during the presentence
process as high risks to fail on probation. Some am also transferred internally to ISP after they have been on
regular probation for a period of time and their continued illegal behavior or attitude requires more
intensified supervision. Of the 49 individuals, 15 have been Iransitioncd to regular probation supervision, 14
have had their probation sentences revoked (6 re -sentenced to local jail time, 5 re -sentenced to stale prison, 1
re -sentenced to Community Service, 2 discharged from probation), 2 have had their probation cases
transferred to other locations, 1 has been discharged from probation as improved, 3 have absconded and 14
remain under active probation supervision.
Even though the Intensive Supervision Program in the past two years has not met the preferred
goal of 10011 rehabilitation, the success rate has been approximately 60% of those who are no longer on ISP.
This is a creditable accomplishment and has been a nue alternative to incarceration for those who have
succeeded; since without ISP, each one may have been incarcerated,
In 1987 ISP will be changing somewhat based on new guidelines from the New York State
Division of Probation and Correctional Alternatives. These guidelines are not yet in effect. but they will
involve more differential supervision (required probation contacts baud on the probationer's status of
employment, schoot, or involvement with other activities), and there will be efforts made to have ISP
involved earlier in the court process before a conviction. These changes stem exciting and will be
elaborated on more fully after their implementation.

Intensive Supervision Program
DRIVING WHILE INTOXICATED PROGRAM
The Tompkins County Probation Department's Driving While Intoxicated Program has been
operational since January I, 1985. Previous to this time DWI defendants referred for Probation Supervision
were assigned to one of several Probation Officers whose responsibilities include a variety of other tasks in
the Criminal and Family Courts. The increased number of DWI referrals for Probation Supervision,
especially is comparison with other offenses (see chart; Probation Supervision Profile 1981/1986), indicated
that more Probation resources were needed. However, the high recidivism rate of DWI, especially felony
DWI, and its attendant danger to the community, as welt as the more recent understanding of Alcoholism as
a disease, made the need for a mom intensive. specialized supervision program apparent. The County
STOP -DWI Program and New York State fund the position for a full time DWI Probation Officer.
The DWI Probation Program serves all Criminal Courts in Tompkins County with the highest
referrals coming from the County Court, which refers approximately 3/4 of the cases, usually felony (repeat)
DWI's (sec chart: DWI Probation Supervision Case Load Felony and Misdemeanor Comparison). Most
clients have more than two alcohol related driving offenses with the average being 3 DWI's or DWA1's.
Criteria for referral to the DWI Probation Program are high blood alcohol content (greater than .1514),
greater than 50 points on the Mortimer-Filkens Test for identifying problem drinkers, two or more DWI's or
DWAI's in the past 5 years or 3 or more in the past 10 years, attitude of the individual (negative), past
rehabilitative efforts, whether or not an accident was involved, an alcohol evaluation which indicates the
need for treatment, and a legal history that seems to indicate alcohol related problems.
The DWI Probation Officer has an intensive caseload of approximately 25 clients. The leading
component of the program has been alcohol treatment. Alcohol treatment has included residential placement
out of county, outpatient counseling at the Alcoholism Council and other Certified Alcohol Agencies, family
counseling, mental health counseling, AA attendance, AI -Anon anendance, and other treatment programs.
395
A second emphasis is the close supervision of the individual within the community. The DWI
program is modeled after the Tompkins County Probation Department Intensive. Supervision Program. The
Individual is held accountable for his actions or inactions, Weekly office contacts are made with the
individual; home visits (scheduled and unscheduled), employment visits as well as agency contacts arc
maintained on a regular basis.
Conditions of Probation for alcohol related driving offenses have been standardized to include the
following; alcohol treatment, no alcohol, remaining out of establishments where alcohol is served, testing
for continued alcohol/drug usage, not to drive without a valid Ncw York State license and not to apply for a
license without prior written permission from the Courts. Home and employment visits arc regularly made,
as are occasional field "bar checks" to verify compliance. According to ream statistics provided by the
Division of Probation and Correctional Alternatives, 19% of our department's active supervision cases are
alcohol related driving offenses. Translated, this means ofa total of 436 supervisions, 91 are DWI's and 25
are supervised intensively on the DWI caseload.
The third major duty of the DWI Probation Officer is the completion of presentence
investigations for the Courts. To date, over 116 DWI investigations have been completed since January of
1985, most of which have been prepared for the Tompkins County Court and a few for other county courts.
In 1985, forty seven DWI presentence investigations were completed. In 1986 that number increased to
forty nine. In the first quarter of 1987, twenty DWI Presentence investigations were completed, or a
projected yearly increase of 590,4 over 1985. The program has room to grow and will be continually refined
in the future.

DWI Probation Officer
SERVICE WORK ALTERNATIVE PROGRAM
"Evolving" is the work that best describes the state of The Service Work Alternative Program -
the department's community service restitution program. Two rather major events occurred during 1985
which assisted in the change process.
First of all, new state law became effective which allows public and nonprofit organizations to
provide Worker's Compensation coverage for persons with court-ordered community service hours to
perform. This has allowed the program to expand beyond the county departments, which had been the
primary placement sites for our clients, and into other nonprofit organizations.
Secondly, Tompkins County entered into a contract with the New York State Division of
Probation and Correctional Alternatives (NYSDPCA) to provide an "enhanced" community service
restitution program—that is, a weekend work crew that is supervised directly by one-half time employee of
the Probation Deet rh»ent. The crew, which tan be composed of up to eight (8) persons, works at various
sites (again, not-for-profit and public agencies) throughout Tompkins County. The Weekend Work Crew is
an experimental program, the costs of which are totally reimbursed to the county by NYSDPCA.
Adding the Crew component, and thus the direct supervisory role, necessitated the development
of more stringent accountability system for the program. In addition, the State Division's mandate that the
enhanced program provide courts with a nue alternative to incarceration has required the development of
eligibility criteria specific to Tompkins County; a program that is readily accountable to the courts; clear
expectational and behavioral guidelines for the participating clients; and. of course, a databased system for
managing cases and evaluating the program. Several of these systems have been developed, and others are
in process.
Program:
In current practice there are essentially three populations with the Service Work Alternative
1) A group of persons who would probably not have been incarcerated but art ordered to do
community service as a "payback" to the community,
2) A group of apparently "jail -bound" persons who can work at a "regular" agency during
normal business hours, and
396
3) A group of `jail -bound". high risk persons who require direct supervision and who are unable
to work their hours during usual business hours -the Weekend Work Crow.
Although thc concept of using community service sentences solely as a means of making
retribution to thc community is a popular and reasonable idea, the Probation Department does not currently
have the personnel or resources to continue such a program. AS a result, we have chosen to develop the
community service program as a sentencing alternative to incarceration. The purposes of such an alternative
are to reduce the local jail population and, therefore, to reduce the cost associated with imprisonment; to
allow defendants to remain within the family. Community, and workplace; and to provide a degree of "pay
bac" to the community.
Significant statistics for the alternative sentencing program are as follows:
1985 1986
Number Successful Completions 3 20
Number Unsuccessful Completions 9 3
Service hours completed 325 2,456
The program's goals for 1987 are varied and quite numerous. Primarily we hope to expand our
list of user agencies, increase our credibility with the courts and community, thoroughly evaluate all aspects
of the program and modify as appropriate, and more stringently delineate the appropriate client population.
As part of the July 1986 to Jane 1987 contract with NYSDPCA, the department is also
coordinating the production of a resource handbook for thc Courts and Criminal Court Attorneys. The
handbook will thoroughly describe county programs that provide services as alternatives to incarceration.
Distribution of the manual is tentatively planned for May 1987.

COLLECTIONS
"Collections" include those charges levied by the courts against defendants in the form of fines,
surcharges and/Or restitution to crime victims. The Probation Department is frequently ordered by the cows
to collect Such kyles, monitor payments, disburse monies to the victims, and report on thc status of each
case to the appropriate court.
The department's IBM PC -XT has proved invaluable in computing arrearages and maintaining
accurate records. As can be seen below, collections continue to increase as we respond to the needs oldie
justice system. The total collected has nearly tripled in Inc years.

URINALYSIS SCREENING
The department continues to actively use urinalysis screening lo detect Cannabinoid (marijuana),
Alcohol, and other drug use among probationers. Usually, submission to testing is ordered as a Condition of
Probation Supervision; however, some testing is submitted to on a voluntary basis.
The 1985 budget for urinalysis was 56,000.00 and for the year 95,400.82 was spent on a total of
256 samples. A total of 368 tests were taken in the following categories:
Cannabinoid 235
Other drug 86
Alcohol - 47
Total 368 Tests
Employment of urinalysis testing has been invaluable to verify probationers' use of drugs or
alcohol. Normally, probationers are ordered to abstain from the use of thesesubstances because they have
become involved in difficulty which was tither directly or indirectly tied to substance use/abuse. The ability
to verify current use is essential to ascertain the probationer's progress. A positive result as a urinalysis test
could be used as a tool to require treatment or, as a last resort, for verification for a Violation of probation
Proceeding.
Because testing for alcohol use is somewhat expensive and many times did not result in positive
result, in an effort to cut costs, Alco -scan tabs were ordered to do preliminary testing for alcohol. The scans
are much cheaper and have saved quite a bit of money.
In 1936 the use of Alco -scans (51.42 each) saves us over six hundred dollars with their use of
being substituted for each expensive (517.00) alcohol urinalysis. Only 6 the case of a positive Alco -scans
result do we run a urinalysis as verification.
The 1986 budget for Urinalysis was 54,000. 53,695.55 was spent in the year on a total of 269
samples. The remainder spent covered the Alco -scans.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM
We have been utilizing IBM - PC's for the past two, years both for caseload retard keeping and
work processing purposes. All supervision, investigation, and collection records are computerized, and input
has started on intake, pretrial release, and diversion records. The word-processing capabilities have allowed
us to prepare our reports quicker and also to increase the quality of our documents.
With the assistance of the New York State Division of Probation and Correctional Alternatives
and the county's Central Data Processing Department, we should be able to increase areas of utilization
during the coming year. We will also begin investigation of an eventual tic -in with the county's mainframe
computer to further enhance our computer capabilities.

COMPUTER TERMINAL
The NYSPIN System allows for direct access, via the terminal, to Criminal History record
information (CHAT), and wanted/missing persons information contained in the division of Criminal Justice
Services (DCJS) files, plus Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Driver's License and vehicle registration
information. The system also provides the capability of communicating directly with other Criminal Justice,
Law Enforcement, and DMV Agencies nationwide. and Law Enforcement Agencies worldwide via
INTERPOL (International Police Agency). In addition. access to the State Division of Probation's
Registrant System (PRS) is available,
In August 1996, our NYSPIN equipment was updated with new RCA-NYSPIN enforcer system.
During 1986, a total of 1571 messages were sent via the system to the Department of Criminal
Justice Service, National Crime Information Center, and other relevant agencies.
The utilization of the NYSPIN terminal has continued to be a valuable asset to the Overall
functioning of the department. The information received allows the department to provide faster, mom
accurate and current reports for the Courts of Tompkins County.

PINS ADJUSTMENT SERVICES PLANNING
In 1985 the N.Y. State legislature passed an important new legislative program (Ch. 813 of the
Laws of 1985) designed to implement assessment, planning, and service delivery strategies, statewide, that
will support successful diversion of persons in need of supervision (PINS) from the Family Court process.
This PINS Adjustments Service Act is intended to decrease the inappropriate utitization of the Family Court
process and to decrease the number of out of home placements on PINS. The Act encourages localities to set
and accomplish long term goals in planning for the delivery of a comprehensive array of services to meet the
need of these youths and their families. Youth and families should, thereby, have appropriate and easily
available access to services without the need of court intervention. The Act establishes a 4 year period.
beginning January of 1987, during which localities may voluntarily implement the provision of the Act.
On November 6, 1985, the Tompkins County Board of Representatives designated the Probation
Department as the Coordinating Agency of a team effon in the development of a detailed, comprehensive,
community -wide planning process and plan. Since that date, Probation personnel have chaired an inter-
agency planning commirtee, and we are anticipating a plan completion date of July 1987. Hopefully, the
County approved plan will be approved by the State Inter -Agency team by late 1987, and Tompkins County
will be ready to make the PINS Actoperational until January 1988.
Lois D. King, Probation Supervisor
COMMUNITY AGENCY INTERFACING
The effective functioning of the Probation Department is dependent upon strong working
relationships with diverse community agencies and the mutual, active exchange of programming information
and ideas. The department encourages the professional staff to serve on governing, advisory and
programming committees of service agencies/groups within Tompkins County.
During 1985 and 1986, professional staff members served on the Boards Of Directors for Group
Homes of Tompkins County, Goodhope Youth Homes, Offender Aid and Restoration, The Alcoholism
Council of Tompkins County, and the Stop -DWI program.
Probation personnel have also represented the department on Advisory committees to the
Tompkins County Family Court, Suicide Prevention and Crisis Service, Ithaca City Youth Bureau,
Alternative Community School, subcommittees of the Mental Health Board, and the Child Protective Unit of
the Department of Social Services. Staff involvement with the Sexual Abuse Task Force, Community Case
Management Team, and Justice Awareness Programs (Bottom Line and Junior Deputies) continued, as did
staff participation in training courses given at the local police academy. The expertise of probation staff
persons has also been sought for temporary task forces/study groups that are established from time to time.

TOMPKINS COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY
Louis Mu:gar, Director
During 5985 the library fully recovered from the asbestos removal related effects of limited services. The
total circulation of 312,629 was the third highest 0975 - 537,157; 1976 - 517,597) in the library's history.
The over 300% increase in film/video circulation proves the demand for such materials and justifies the
establishment and support of this service by the Finger Lakes Library System.
The increase in reference questions follows the long trend except for the decrease in 1984 due to asbestos
removal. The most gratifying point is the close to 2044 increase in the number of registered borrowers
totaling 30,092 which represents slightly more than 30% of the County's population.
The current heavy use of library services indicates a success, but at the same time foreshadows potential
tong range problems.
Every successful tax supported public library is caught in a contradiction: the better the library and its
services, the more people will be demanding better and more services resulting in higher statistics and higher
budgetary needs. On the other hand, to moderately decrease the quantity and quality of services is not
necessarily saving real tax dollars due to the high fixed costs of library operations such as staff, fringe
benefits, utilities, and maintenance, but actually might result in vastly inferior services for a little less
money.
During 1985 we had the potential fora circulation of 530,000 instead of the actual (and impressive)
512,629, but our purchasing of audio recordings decreased by 50% and our leasing of popular books
decreased by 30% due to measures to accommodate a budget that was slightly lower than the basic amount
needed. We are facing a better year now, and I hope that the library will remain successful to everyone's
satisfaction, even if this means slightly higher expenses for library services.
1 would like to thank the staff and the Friends of the Library volunteers for their hard wort: and the
Library Board for their commitment for a better library.

TOMPKINS COUNTY FIRE INVESTIGATION TEAM
Mark N. Vann, Deputy Fire Coordinator, Fire Investigation
We saw a sizeable increase in the number of investigationis done during 1985. There was a slight
decrease in arson fires over 1984 but the number of suspicious Gres nearly doubled.
For the second year in a row, there were no fire fatalities involved in any of our investigations. There
were, however, 8 injuries reported to the TCFIT investigators. A fair number of these were to county
firefighters during fore suppression.
Accidental fire causes were up by percentage and there were two reported incidents caused by children
playing with fire.
1 would like to thank all county fire chiefs for the support they have shown for the team through their
requests for TCFIT and through the cooperation shown the investigators while in the fie/d.
My personal thanks to all the volunteers who make up the Tompkins County Firs Investigation Team. 11
has been a pure pleasure to be associated with you. Being that this is my final report as the team
administrator, 1 wish you all the best of everything with your pursuit of fire investigation.

TOMPKINS COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES
Submitted by Mary Pal Dolan, Commissioner
The Department of Social Services is responsible for the provision of financial assistance and services
necessary to sustain individuals and assist them in achieving the greatest degree of independence possible.
Programs are authorized under the Federal Social Security Act and the New York State Social Services Law.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
Thele are three financial programs; namely, (1) Public Assistance, which is divided into ADC, HR. EAF, and
EAA, (2) Medicaid, and (3) Food Stamps.
I. PUBLIC ASSISTANCE (PA)
Public Assistance is the only program that authorizes cash payments to recipients. This program provides
funds under four categories of assistance; namely, Aid to Dependent Children (ADC), Home Relief (HR),
Emergency Aid to Families (EAF), and Emergency Aid to Adults (EAA).
Aid to Dependent Children (ADC) is financial assistance given to a family with minor children, without
sufficient means of support because of the absence, death, unemployment or incapacity of a parent. This is
the largest direct assistance (cash) program administered by this department
Home Relief (HR) is assistance for single individuals and childless couples.
Emergency Aid to Families (EAF) is assistance for families to meet a one-time financial crisis.
Emergency Aid to Adults (EAA) is aid to meet crisis situations for persons who are disabled and/or over
sixty-five and who are receiving Supplementary Security Income (SSI).
I1. MEDICAID (MA)
Medical Assistance (MA) i5 a program that pays medical bills in whole or in pan for New York State
residents who cannot pay the cost of such medical care. In this program, money is not given to the eligible
recipients, but rather the department pays for the needed medical care directly to the provider of the medical
service, Le. doctor, hospital, nursing home, drug store, etc.
III. FOOD STAMPS (FS)
The Food Stamp Program is designed to increase the food purchasing power for eligible individuals and
families. Depending on factors such as income and size of family, it is determined that a family will be
eligible for a certain number of free food stamps. Food stamps are obtained at participating banks and can
be redeemed for food at any store that accepts food stamps. The Food Stamp Program costs Tompkins
County nothing, since all costs are borne by the Federal and State Government.
IV. HOME ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (REAP)
The Home Energy Assistance Act of 1951 (Title Bt of Public Law 92.223) authorizes grants to stales to
provide funds to eligible households to help pay the cost of home energy that is excessive in relation to
household income.
Eligibility is based on circumstances for the entire calendar month in which the household filed an
application. No assets test 35 required. Level of assistance is based on a matrix that considers the weather in
the region, differences in fuel type and household size. Funds are available to obtain energy necessary to
403
Operate heating equipment, to repair or maintain heating equipment to assure safe operation and/or for
emergency shelter 01 relocation.
SERVICES DIVISION
To comply with New York State Department of Social Services regulations, the Services Division completed
a Consolidated Plan which included four major plans: namely, Title XX Plan, Child Protective Services
Plan. Fancily and Children's Plan and Protective Services for Adults. Each plan involves demographic and
statistical analysis, trends, predictions, resource analysis, problem areas, specific goals and estimates of
costs. In addition, the plans required community input and public hearings.
1. ADULT SERVICES
Adult services are divided into General Adult (GA), Protective Services for Adults (PSA), Post -institutional
Placement Services (PIS?), and Community Support Services Cases (CSS).
GA cases are those needing help with: housing, aleoholldmg problems, education, emancipation, and
train ing/employment.
PSA involves investigation of reports of persons (abused, neglected, exploited) in need of protection and
provision of services such as counseling, financial management, arranging for alternate housing,
guardianship, homemaker and housekeeper services.
P1SP involves services to persons who have been in psychiatric or developmental centers for five years or
more or to persons hospitalized less time but who do not meet CSS requirements. The Community
Screening Team reviews cases of all potential releases before discharge. Serving on the team are
representatives from Mental Health Services, Meadow House, Challenge, Social Services, and other agencies
and professionals, if their services might be needed upon discharge of clients from an institution to the
community.
II. DAY CARE FOR CHILDREN
Day Care Services involves the processing of applications from persons needing day care for their children,
and arranging placement, recruiting, studying, and certifying Family Day Care Homes; periodically visiting
Family Day Care Homes and state licensed Day Care Centers; screening day care provider bills and
authorizing payment
DI. CHILD WELFARE
Child Welfare Services include: intake, foster care of children, in home supervision, cecn_itment and
certification of foster homes for children, counseling for unmarried parents, recruiting and approving
families to adopt, taking surrenders of children for adoption, placing surrendered children in adoptive homes,
custody investigations, initiating procedures to obtain permanent custody of children in foster care if parents
do not actively plan for return of child, emancipation studies of persons 16.18 years old.
Adoption Services include receiving surrendered children, preparing them for adoption, placing them in
adoptive homes, arranging for this county's adoptive families to receive children from elsewhere,
supervising the placement until the adoptions are finalized, working with children in foster homes waiting
for adoptive placement
Adoptive Home Finding services include screening all inquiries from persons wishing to adopt, studying
families, and approving/rejecting these families to receive children for adoption. The agency has about six
informational meetings a year 10 explain to people inquiring about adoption, the kind of children available,
what is involved in the studies, and extensive education and training for people who wish to pursue
adoption.
404
The Adoptive Families Association volunteers assist in the group studies, i.e. they lead some exercises, and
give patenting skill demonstrations. They also provide on-going support as couples raise questions, and
provide help with children with special problems. The Association also has group meetings for adoptive
parents, after children are placed in adoptive homes.
Faster Family Home -Finding services involves screening all inquiries from persons wishing to be licensed
foster parents, and certifying parents and homes.
Preventive Services and Family Counseling is provided by the department to families to keep a child out of
foster cam or enable him, if already placed, to return home within 90 days. In addition to family counseling,
