Present: 13 Representatives. Excused: 2 (Representatives Shurtleff and Winch, Representative
Mink was excused at 6:55 p.m. and Representative Dietrich was excused at 7:07 p.m.)
Mrs. Livesay, Chair, Solid Waste and Resource Management Committee, requested that the
haulers be invited to sit amongst Board members and to be included in the discussion.
RESOLUTION NO. 15 - RESOLUTION OF INTENT TO INSURE CONTROL OF SOLID
WASTE HAULING
Moved by Mrs. Livesay and seconded by Mrs. Call.
The haulers introduced themselves: Doug Brown - Doug's Trash Removal; Rick Ferrel, Assistant
Superintendent, City of Ithaca; Bob Formeck, Vice President, Superior; Joseph Micilcavage, President,
Superior Disposal Services.
1. Discussion of past operational problems - hauler perspective, County perspective.
Chairman Watros stated that the purpose of this meeting was to discuss this Resolution and give
an opportunity for discussion between the Board members, staff and the haulers.
Mr. Micilcavage asked that the Board clarify the purpose of the Resolution in terms of the
problems with the existing system and how to improve it and make it less costly for the citizens.
Mrs. Livesay stated that the purpose of the resolution is to answer concerns of the Board about
problems that the County has in terms of not being able to insure that the revenues the County needs to
operate programs come to the County. She also stated that the present system has revenues collected by
haulers associated with picking up and hauling of trash, and that members of this Board feel the. County
cannot afford to lose any more dollars, therefore, need to have assurance of this income. The purpose of
the resolution is to ask staff to explore all possibilities to determine if there may be more ways to insure
revenues.
Mr. Micilcavage responded that he thought this was insured through the Flow Control Law.
Mrs. Livesay stated that after the adoption of the Law, the County lost months of revenues but
there would be no discussion on grievance issues at this meeting.
Mr. Proto stated that the County is looking to insure cash flow and to insure that that the trash is
not being taken out of the County.
Mrs. Livesay reported that Barbara Eckstrom, Solid Waste Manager, expects that all waste
generated in Tompkins County is not leaving Tompkins County.
Mr. Brown stated that no one is taking trash out of the County.
Mr. Lerner added that the issue of compliance or non-compliance of the Flow Control Law is not
the only thing that the resolution is intending to address and that there has been problems with some
16
January 12, 1993
haulers in delivering waste to the County and failing to pay when required or not at all. Mr. Lerner also
added that the County is paying about $ 30,000 a year in expenses in processing the paperwork to
monitor on which haulers are dropping off garbage and who is or is not paying for their disposal fee. Mr.
Lerner feels that there is a way to simplify this process. He restated that there is a need for the County to
think about consolidating the separate hauling and payment systems. Mr. Lerner stated the there also
needs to be discussion on ways the County can minimize the cost of trash collection for all residents.
Mr. Stein asked the haulers to discuss any problems that exist now so that the Board can focus on
solving these problems in order to assure the County residents that there will not be problems in the
future, similar to those in the past.
Mr. Brown reassured the Board that the haulers have a good working relationship with the County
and that there is no problem paying $95/ton disposal fee. Mr. Brown went on to say that the problem
arose when the County asked the haulers to pay the $145 a ton fee.
Ms. Mink questioned Mr. Ferrel asking if the City had a problem paying the $145/ton fee and if
this was the cause for running up their debts.
Mr. Ferrel answered saying that the City had an excess amount of money before the increased fees
and used the excess money to fund the following year and that when the price went up to $145 a ton the
City could not pay.
Mrs. Livesay explained that the County did not ask the haulers to pay $145/ton, the citizens of the
County are the ones who were to pay for the disposal of their trash and if there is a problem with this
system then it needs to be discussed.
Mr. Brown stated that because of the problems of residents over stuffing bags, haulers are the ones
who pay the price in the long run.
Mrs. Livesay stated that she felt it was Mr. Brown's opinion that it doesn't work well for the
haulers to collect the fees, therefore, there needs to be another system.
Mr. Culligan stated that the system compensates itself due to some residents understuffing and that
this makes up for those who overstuff their garbage bags. Mr. Culligan suggested that special trash bags
be purchased that will break if stuffed over a certain weight. He requested that the first option in the
resolution include trashbags.
Mrs. Livesay accepted Mr. Culligan's suggestion as a friendly amendment and stated that the
information could be gathered upon request.
Mr. Micilcavage stated that Superior does not have a problem with the $95/ton disposal fee.
Mrs. Livesay replied that the committee has been working on other ways of collecting the disposal
fee, and that the County residents will be paying this year to make up for the deficit. Mrs. Livesay
restated that the haulers can not decide what the County's costs are just as the County can not decide the
haulers' cost. Mrs. Livesay stated that the County has lowered the tipping fee to $95/ton and now there
needs to be another way to make up the loss of revenue due to lowering the fee. This is the proposed
annual fee that the County is discussing. Mrs. Livesay commented that there is a feeling of concern
about paying this fee, some people are saying that they would rather pay it in the disposal cost in the
trash tag.
17
January 12, 1993
Mr. Stein stated that the City of Ithaca's garbage is left at the curbside if it is over 35 pounds and
asked the haulers why can't the haulers do the same.
Mr. Ferrel explained that the City assesses the resident a penalty fee if the bags are over weight.
Mr. Culligan stated that the haulers need to all have the same rules of operation.
Mr. Micilcavage stated that the City of Ithaca's system is different and that they are not in
competition, thus, having the option to leave the garbage and not worry about losing business to someone
else.
Mr. Mason stressed that if everyone continues to haul within the County, the haulers stand a better
chance of not losing business by leaving the garbage if over weight.
Mr. Lerner stated that Mr. Micilcavage is apparently suggesting that municipal collection is
superior to private collection because competition creates extra costs.
Mr. Brown commented that the County made the haulers the middleman on the budget. He stated
that the City can leave their garbage because they have scales. Mr. Brown stated that the higher the rate
is, the less garbage there is to pick up because people are resorting to burning their trash. Mr. Brown
explained that Brown's Trash has started a recycling project and said that customers are burning their
trash in order to decrease the amount of trash needed to be picked up. Mr. Brown stated that the "system
is doomed to fail".
Mrs. Livesay replied to Mr. Brown's statement stating that the County made the haulers the
middleman to collect the fee. She said that it was the haulers' choice at that time to collect the fee. Mrs.
Livesay stated that maybe the haulers wish not to be the middleman any longer.
Mr. Brown replied that at $95/ton that there is no problem.
Mr. Lerner stated it was his opinion that it's not that Mr. Brown does not want to be the
middleman but that the haulers do not want to be the enforcer on the weight of the bags.
Mr. Brown replied that the $95/ton is not a problem and that neighboring counties are decreasing
their fee to $70/ton and that the County needs to explain the fee and provide a breakdown. Mr. Brown
stated that recycling needs to be done separately. Mr. Brown said that he feels that County residents
should pay a fee for recycling that is separate from the disposal fee.
Mrs. Eckstrom clarified that the revenues versus expenses is equal and the better the County gets
at recycling the higher the disposal costs will be. She explained that people could pay less even if the low
price is higher than it is at present.
Mr. Todd stated that when the disposal fee went up, the incentive to reduce trash increased.
Mr. Lerner replied that for every ton of material that gets diverted from disposal into recycling,
from the point of view of the County, the material that is sent out for disposal generates the $95 By
recycling, the County receives nothing, therefore, by recycling, the County is undermining its' budget
which then hinders a revenue stream set up for recycling. Therefore, Mr. Lerner believes this needs to be
dealt with.
18
January 12, 1993
Mr. Proto referred to the guidelines set for discussion at this meeting, Item No. 1 regarding past
operational problems and asked the haulers if there were anymore problems (besides the fee) that the
County needs to be made aware of.
Mr. Brown replied that he had no problems and that the landfill was easily accessible, best kept
and run as well as the transfer station and that up until last year he has no problems.
Mr. Micilcavage replied that Superior has a good working relationship with Mrs. Eckstrom and
Mr. Squires and even though there are still some problems with Flow Control, overall everything is fine.
Mr. Ferrel stated that he felt the location of the landfill was convenient.
Mr. Culligan commented that with composting there is a decrease in garbage waste and that
Cornell will be handling a great volume of composting and asked Mrs. Eckstrom how she foresees
composting on the County level.
Mrs. Eckstrom stated that there is a charge for composting on a per ton basis and that the Solid
Waste Department is working jointly with Cornell and the City of Ithaca on a composting facility. She
stated that the Director will consider examining the co -collection of composting and trash. She stated
that the County has the capabilities of reducing residents' cost of collecting both.
2. What relationship should or needs to exist between County government and the haulers? What
do haulers need? What does County government need?
Mr. Stein stated that the components of the haulers' role needs to be a guarantee of assurance of
long-term stability between the haulers and the County.
Mr. Micilcavage replied that Superior wants stability also but they too need assurance that they are
doing business with the County without fear of going out of business due to possible implementation of a
municipal collection system. He stated that their relationship with the County is excellent at this time and
that they are complying with the transfer station regulations and that they do not foresee going anywhere
else. Mr. Micilcavage stated that Superior wants to do business in the County.
Mrs. Livesay stated her concerns of difference of opinion that people would rather pay it all on the
disposal fee on their trash tag and that the Board needs to try to resolve the difference between what the
public needs and what the haulers need to stay in business in order for the County to meet expenses.
Mr. Micilcavage stated that his customers are happy with the system and that the only way to get a
clear understanding of what people want is possibly through a referendum.
Mrs. Livesay stated that some people expressed they do not want to pay the annual fee that there
needs to be some other way to collect for the revenues. She felt they need to reconsider the collection
fees to satisfy the residents.
Mr. Micilcavage stated that his company has explained the recycling system to their customers and
are not experiencing any problems.
Mrs. Livesay commented that the fee is not directly related to how much one recycles.
Mr. Brown replied that he identified the annual fee as a recycling fee and explained to his
customers that it was a recycling fee. Mr. Brown stated that he felt the County needs to explain the
system.
19
January 12, 1993
Mrs. Call stated that in order to absorb the costs, the County needs to have an additional fee source
and that the Solid Waste Committee is working on revising a plan for a recycling fee.
Mr. Proto stated that he feels the haulers want to be part of the decision-making process and
expressed the need to keep communication open.
3. Distribute chart on costs - Hauling and County program breakdown and assessment of fees -
Discussion
Mrs. Eckstrom briefly explained the purpose of the Recycling and Disposal charts and they are
designed to show the average amount and cost of waste disposal and recycling per household. She also
explained the charts outline the waste and cost per pound per household for waste collection. She stated
that the goal is to refine the system of collection no matter what the material is in order to strivefor low
cost and provide a degree of service that people are satisfied with. Mrs. Eckstrom referred to the
brochure What We're Paying and Why explaining that the recycling fee is assessed for services being
provided and for the opportunity to access recycling service in this County.
Mrs. Dietrich suggested that the haulers consider bi-weekly disposal collection.
Mr. Watros referred to the handout stating that the County has a $7.5 million expense relative to
waste issues and with the present plan with the haulers, it only generates about $4.3 million in revenue
and the County is in need of an additional $3.2 million in order to balance the budget.
4. How should we handle collection of waste, recyclables, etc., in a cost effective reliable manner
that enables County government to collect the revenues needed for the operation of the
programs and maximizes the ability of local haulers to remain in business?
Ms. Mink asked the haulers what they felt would be the most cost effective way is to handle
garbage.
Mr. Ferrel stated that the City's circumstances are different than the other haulers being that the
City is non profit, and he feels that the haulers are entitled to make a profit.
Ms. Mink stated that the County is focusing on obtaining the best price for residents.
Mr. Culligan suggested that municipalities place their bin out every two weeks in order to cut
costs.
Mrs. Eckstrom stated that the villages do not need pick up every week versus the cities who need
pick up every week. There is a need to examine a more cost effective system.
Ms. Mink asked Mrs. Eckstrom what the reaction would be if the County put garbage disposal out
to bid.
Mr. Micilcavage stated that Superior likes the system the way it is, but he felt that if the County
decides to have municipal collection, then Superior will need to accept it.
Mr. Brown stated that he is happy with the system now, and said the public has informed him that
they too are happy with the present system.
20
January 12, 1993
Mr. Lerner explained that he feels there may not be a cost savings by eliminating the drop-off
centers, but by having curbside collection of paper, there is less volume at the drop-off centers.
Mrs. Eckstrom stated that the drop-off centers cost more now because they collect less material
and there are fixed costs. Mrs. Eckstrom stated that she feels the costs for handling mixed paper is
inefficient and there is a need to explore this further and examine the options.
Mrs. Livesay stated that some of the public has conveyed to her that they feel there is a need for
more alternatives in choosing a hauler. She restated that the some of the public has also questioned
whether costs may be higher due to various haulers driving greater miles to pick up a small amount of
bags.
Thomas Corey, member, Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, reported that a sub-
committee is in the process of preparing a report for the Board of Representatives. He said the committee
is conducting an analysis based upon the guidelines Chairman Watros provided with a break down of the
areas that County government is involved in pertaining to solid waste disposal. Mr. Corey reported that
the committee has collected about 50 comments from businesses in Tompkins County regarding their
feelings towards the proposed solid waste fee. He stated that there are some major concerns by large
manufacturing businesses regarding the implementation of this fee. Mr. Corey requested that Mrs. Call
provide the Chamber with a copy of the changes in guidelines prepared by the Budget and
Administration Committee upon completion.
Mrs. Call stated that she received copies of the comments from these businesses that Mr. Corey
was referring to and would provide him with the new guidelines upon completion.
Ms. Mink was excused from the meeting at 6:55 p.m.
Mr. Evans stated that he would like to consider the possibility of charging by volume versus
weight and requested that an analysis be done.
It was moved by Mr. Evans, seconded by Mr. Proto to amend the resolution as follows: Item No.
7, "The County examine the volume method of charging for waste". A voice vote resulted as follows:
Ayes - 12, Noes - 0, Excused - 3 (Representatives Mink, Shurtleff and Winch). Motion carried.

"Fergusson Electric has had charges and allegations presented to them and to the Department of
Labor. The Depaitinent of Labor has been investigating these since our bid opening in late August.
Some allegations have been negotiated and settled by mutual agreement."
"We in Tompkins County plan to have our Airport project, as we do all projects, carried out in an
appropriate, legal fashion. We have gone through the bid process in a fashion that is consistent with
Public Construction Project Rules and Laws. An allegation is not a finding. It is our desire to have a
safe, legal, beautiful project that all residents in Tompkins County can be proud of -- the way all projects
have been run by the Department of Public Works, specific project committees such as the Airport
Development and Construction Committee, and the Board of Representatives during my tenure as
Chairman of the Public Works and Construction Management Committee."
"To that end our staff in Public Works, our construction manager, Ciminelli-Cowper, and our
County Attorney have been keeping abreast of this investigation since August. 'What are our plans in
Tompkins County?' We plan to have our construction manager, Ciminelli-Cowper, our Public Works
staff in cooperation with the Department of Labor, and the FAA if appropriate, review certified payrolls
prior to any payment for each of the contractors working on the project. These payments are usually
presented to the Committee monthly. I plan to have a copy of these certified payrolls on file in the Board
of Representatives for the duration of the project for representatives and the public to review."

Regular Meeting
Public Hearing
Chairman Watros called the public hearing to order at 5:30 p.m. concerning proposed Local Law
No. 1 of 1993 - Authorizing the Establishment of an Annual Solid Waste Fee for Real Property.
Chairman Watros asked if anyone wished to speak?
Gary Lindenbaum, Business Manager of the Ithaca City School District, spoke about the proposed
tipping charges. He expressed the School's concern of how much this will cost. He said the School
District is going into a difficult budgetary period. He stated the School District has taken efforts to reduce
its waste and cut down on their costs.
Rich Weiss, Business Manager, TST BOCES, and representing other school districts, expressed
concern with the cost to the Districts with the proposed fee imposed. He said he also understands that
Cornell University, Ithaca College and Tompkins Cortland Community College have a separate billing
structure under the proposal. On behalf of the school districts, he is requesting the same billing structure.
He also would like to request a meeting with the County to discuss a fee schedule that is appropriate.
Charles Breckheimer, Ithaca School District Teacher, spoke about the waste reduction program in
the schools. He felt that there would be less incentive to recycle and that this proposed fee would send
the wrong message to the kids.
Beverly Baker, South Geneva Street, said Tompkins County residents have been encouraged to
recycle but are now being penalized with this proposed fee. She asked that the Board postpone this for a
few weeks. She also requested the Board wait until the Chamber of Commerce responds to the requests
of the Board.
Phil Barden, Town of Caroline, spoke in opposition of the annual fee proposal and feels the
County should keep the trash tag system and let the people who make the garbage pay for it.
Susan Centini, Owner of Centini's Restaurant, said she has been recycling for years and also
composting. She feels it is unfair to the small businesses to impose the proposed fee.
Helen Morgan, Mobile Home Park resident, spoke in opposition of the proposed fee and asked
why she would be charged the same amount a mobile home with four or five people living in it. She said
judging by footage is a wrong idea for setting the fee schedule.
Allen Akers, Trumansburg Road, said the County should get out of the garbage business. He
spoke in opposition of the proposed annual fee and expressed his concern about people with fixed
incomes and asked how they would come up with the money when taxes keep going up and others costs
increase.
John Novarr, Property Owner in City of Ithaca and Town of Ithaca, spoke in opposition and about
the inequities on the proposed fee schedule. He said he owns apartments that he rents to students and
spoke about his costs compared to Ithaca College. He asked how vacancies would be handled.
Richard Westfall, City of Ithaca, spoke in opposition of the proposed fee and stated that he
believes people should pay for what they use. He does not think that a person should get charged
according to the size of their residence.
Tim Foote, Town of Groton, spoke in opposition to the proposed fee and expressed concern for the
taxpayers because of so much tax exempt property in Tompkins County.
34
February 2, 1993
Richard Sponable, Newfield, spoke in opposition to the proposed fee and said the County should
get out of the trash business.
John Parmelee, Old Port Harbor Restaurant, spoke in opposition to the proposed fee and expressed
his dissatisfaction in the way solid waste is handled by the County. He stated that he is a customer of
Superior Disposal and referred to how is charges have increased.
Herb Wiegandt, Cayuga Heights, spoke in opposition to the proposed fee and stated that he does
not believe the way the proposed fee will be charged is equitable. He feels that it would be difficult but
charges could be assessed in a more systematical way.
Dan Quest, City of Ithaca, spoke in opposition to the proposed fee and asked if the taxpayers will
have to pay for the haulers going out of business. Mr. Quest said that he believes haulers with
outstanding debts to the County should have to pay.

she feels discriminated against because she is a single person. She asked that the Board think about the

Andrew Bower, Triphammer Road, in opposition to the proposed fee.
Mrs. Call, Chairman, Budget and Administration Committee, stated that she received verbal
comments from Bert Hillard, Town of Lansing, in which Mr. Hillard expressed opposition to the

RESOLUTION NO. 31 - RESOLUTION DETERMINING SIGNIFICANCE PURSUANT TO

Moved by Mrs. Call, seconded by Mr. Lerner. Mr. Lerner said that the solid waste program is
paying for past, present and future programs including costs at the proposed DR -7 site and closure and
maintenance of old landfills by complying with the Department of Environmental Conservation
regulations. These costs also include paying for current disposal and recycling operations.
35
February 2, 1993
Mr. Lerner stated that the County has to recoup revenues lost due to the haulers disposing of waste out of
County resulting in a one million dollar deficit. Mr. Lerner stated that the County has tried to find a fair
way of distributing these costs. He said he would like to eliminate the proposed annual fee in 1994.
Mr. Mason stated that the County is not in the solid waste business as the public has perceived. He
said over 80 percent of money is spent on contracts to the private sector. He also said the County has to
comply with New York State mandates.
Ms. Mink stated that people have asked why not pay for this proposed annual fee through property
tax. Mr. Lerner said that those exempt from paying real property tax would also be exempt from paying
this proposed fee.
Mrs. Schuler asked if the policy under SEQRA had been examined by the Environmental
Management Council (EMC). Mrs. Call said it was reviewed by the EMC and read a letter from Robert

A voice vote resulted as follows on the resolution: Ayes - 15, Noes - 0. Adopted.
WHEREAS, the Board is contemplating the adoption of a local law establishing an annual fee for
solid waste management to be imposed upon the owners of real property in Tompkins County, who are
the generators of solid waste and the users of the County's solid waste facilities and programs, and
WHEREAS, the adoption of such a local law involves no physical improvements or alterations that
would change the use, appearance or condition of any natural resource or structure, and
WHEREAS, the Board believes that the adoption of the local law is a Type II Action, it has
nonetheless reviewed it as though it was an unlisted action for purposes of the environmental review
process under SEQRA, and
WHEREAS, the Board and Budget and Administration Committee have reviewed drafts of the
proposed local law and the Short Environmental Assessment Form, including the Determination of
Significance dated November 1992, and the proposed Negative Declaration, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Administration Committee, That this Board
finds the enactment of the proposed law regarding the annual solid waste management fee will not have a
significant effect on the environment requiring the preparation of an environmental impact statement,
RESOLVED, further, That the Chairman of the Board and/or his designee is authorized to file and
circulate the Negative Declaration provided according to law and execute such other documentation as
may be necessary.
SEQR ACTION: EXEMPT OR TYPE II
(DETERMINATIONS AND FINDINGS
MADE CONCURRENTLY HEREWITH)
RESOLUTION NO. 32 - ADOPTION OF LOCAL LAW NO. 1 OF 1993 - AUTHORIZING THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF AN ANNUAL SOLID WASTE FEE FOR REAL
PROPERTY IN TOMPKINS COUNTY
Moved by Mrs. Call, seconded by Mr. Lerner. Mr. Culligan felt the County should pursue a
special benefit district and pay for these costs with additional sales tax revenues.
It was Moved by Mr. Shurtleff, seconded by Mrs. Dietrich, to postpone the resolution until the first
meeting in March to obtain a few more answers. Mrs. Call reminded the Board that a resolution was
passed in December to adopt this proposed fee by February 2 and it was also recommended by the
Comptroller that the proposed fee be adopted by the end of February. Mr. Squires, Comptroller, stated
that the Board authorized borrowed money and that he will be going to market in February or March. He
stated that if the Board voted this proposed fee down, the Board would have to decide how to balance the
budget in 1993. Mrs. Schuler spoke of her concern with voting on a subject following a public hearing.
36
February 2, 1993
Mrs. Call said a public hearing was held in December and the Board responded to concerns raised at the
hearing resulting in action being delayed.
Chairman Watros said that these people that will now assume the burden of the proposed fee should also
enjoy a reduction in the hauling costs because of the rollback of the tipping fee. Mr. Mason questioned if
passing the law resolved the Comptroller's concern mentioned above. At this time, Mr. Shurtleff
withdrew his motion to postpone.
It was moved Mrs. Dietrich, seconded by Ms. Mink, that this local law shall sunset on December
31, 1993. Mr. Mulvey, County Attorney ruled Mrs. Dietrich's motion as illegal because it is considered a
substantive change in the law and the Board would not be allowed to vote this evening and an additional
public hearing would have to be held.
A roll call vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 10, Noes - 5 (Representatives Culligan, Proto, Schuler,
Shurtleff and Stein). Adopted.
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held before the Board of Representatives on February 2, 1993 to
hear all persons interested in proposed Local Law No. 1 of 1993, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Administration Committee, That said
proposed Local Law No. 1 of 1993 Authorizing the Establishment of an Annual Solid Waste Fee for Real
Property in Tompkins County is adopted,
RESOLVED, further, That this local law be reviewed in conjunction with Resolution No. 5 of
1993, Charging the Solid Waste and Resource Management Committee with Developing Alternate Plans
for Paying for Recycling with recommendations to be made by September 1, 1993 in time for formulation
of 1994 Budget,
RESOLVED, further, That the Clerk of the Board publish in the official newspaper of Tompkins
County a notice of adoption containing a synopsis of said local law, and shall within five (5) days file one
certified copy in the office of the County Clerk and three (3) certified copies in the office of the Secretary
of State.

RESOLUTION NO. 33 - ESTABLISHING A UNIT CHARGE FOR THE 1993 ANNUAL SOLID
WASTE FEE (Amended by Res. No. 127 of 1993)
Moved by Mrs. Call, seconded by Mr. Winch. Mrs. Dietrich suggested a delay in this resolution so
the equity issues with school districts may be addressed. Mr. Squires stressed the importance of the
budget being balanced and said that if the fee were to be cut, a source would need to be identified to
replace any reduction in revenue this would cause. Mrs. Call responded to comments made during the
public hearing. She explained how the fee would apply to tax exempt properties; she said that almost all
of the cost budgeted for the Landstrom Landfill is mandated by the Department of Environmental
Conservation; she replied that to a comment made comparing residential costs to costs of the colleges and
said that colleges are not getting curbside recycling service; she stated that the proposed fee is based on
information that the County Assessment Department has and that the County does not have a breakdown
of how many people reside in each household; she stated that a portion of this fee will go towards
curbside recycling. Barbara Eckstrom, Solid Waste Manager, stated that recycling costs money even
though it is cheaper right now than disposal. Mr. Stein expressed his concern that once this resolution is
passed, it is unlikely that questions will be resolved.
It was Moved by Ms. Mink, seconded by Mrs. Dietrich, to postpone the vote on this rate schedule
until the February 16, 1993 Board meeting. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 14, Noes - 1
(Representative Call). Motion carried. Mrs. Call said questions concerning school districts and the
Hospital would be answered.

OF 1993 ON OR BEFORE DECEMBER 31, 1993
Moved by Mrs. Dietrich, seconded by Mr. Mason, and unanimously adopted by voice vote.
WHEREAS, Local Law No. 1 of 1993 was necessitated by serious Tompkins County fiscal
problems and the lowering of the County tipping fee, and

OFFENDER AID AND RESTORATION
Moved by Mr. Mason, seconded by Mrs. Schuler, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by
members present.
WHEREAS, Offender Aid and Restoration (OAR) of Tompkins County was unable to maintain its
1990 and 1991 level of bail loans during 1992 because of reduced funding and dropped from 50 loans per
year to 42, and
WHEREAS, OAR loans in 1990 and 1991 saved Tompkins County 3,600 jail days each year for
OAR bailees who did not receive jail sentences, an average of 90 days saved per bail, and
44
February 16, 1993
WHEREAS, given the crowded conditions in the jail in 1990 and 1991, OAR thereby saved the
County between $200,000 and $360,000 each year in boarding out costs, and
WHEREAS, jail admissions in 1992 continued at the 1990 rate of about 80 per month, and OAR
had a waiting list for bail loans throughout 1992 and expects similar demand in 1993, and
WHEREAS, Tompkins County has specified that new funding is to be made available only to
programs that cost the same or less than the program saves the County, and
WHEREAS, OAR could expand its bail program to provide a minimum of 12 additional bails in
1993 by adding .2FTE to the Bail Fund Coordinator's time for expanded services, and .2FTE to the
Executive Director's time for service back-up and expanding the bail fund, which at 90 days saved on the
average per bail, would save 1230 jail days, and
WHEREAS, these 1,230 jail days saved would either save Tompkins County $65,190 at the
estimated $53 per day cost of keeping inmates in the jail, or save $123,000 or more for boarding inmates
out and transporting them, for a cost to the County of $12,600 and,
WHEREAS, OAR could assist in further reducing the jail population by facilitating substance
abuse evaluations of inmates in the jail, in cooperation with defense counsel, as part of alternatives to
incarceration sentence proposals, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Public Safety and Budget and Administration
Committees, That the Comptroller shall appropriate $12,600 from A1990 Contingent Fund to

Under unfinished business, Chairman Watros requested a decision be made on the course of action
to be taken concerning the sales tax legislation. Discussion followed regarding the County
Administrator's projected 1994 Tompkins County real property tax levy:
The 1993 real property tax levy is $15,582,600. If the local share of five mandated items increases
at the same rate as the last five years, this will add $1,617,064 to the levy. If the cost of living increase
for all optional items is added to the levy and this increase is 4.1 percent, this will add $720,000 to the
levy. If the County receives 50 percent of the proceeds of the fourth cent of local sales taxes, and if sales
tax proceeds grow by one percent, the impact on the levy will be $787,442. The total levy based on the
above would be $18,704,106 (+20%).
If the County receives 75 percent of the proceeds of the fourth cent of local sales taxes the impact
on the levy will be ($1,148,391). The total levy based on this would be $16,768,273 (+7.6%).
If the fourth cent of local sales taxes were permitted to lapse, the impact on the levy would be
$4,659,109. The total levy based on this would be 22,575,773 (+44.9%).
Mr. Mulvey, County Attorney, stated that he has been informed by Assemblyman Luster that the
Ways and Means Committee of the New York State Legislature has a general policy that they will not
enact legislation for additional sales tax unless there is an agreement on how this sales tax will be spent.

March 16, 1993
WHEREAS, the Board of Representatives had adopted Resolution No. 15 of 1992 requesting
enabling legislation for the State of New York for the imposition of an additional one -percent sales tax
upon the expiration of the current enabling legislation, and
WHEREAS, said resolution seeks a division of proceeds with the City of Ithaca consistent with the
current division, and
WHEREAS, the Common Council of the City of Ithaca has adopted a resolution stating its intent
to thwart such state enabling legislation unless the City of Ithaca is granted a significantly higher
allocation of such proceeds, and
WHEREAS, the Common Council proposed to make such demand under its perceived right of pre -
exemption, and
WHEREAS, there is no such right of preemption in either constitutional, statutory or case law, and
WHEREAS, the Common Council's statement of intent is based solely upon a policy alleged to
have been adopted by the Ways and Means Committee of the New York State Assembly, which policy
purports to deny such enabling legislation to a county unless there is an agreement with a city within such
county regarding the division of proceeds, and
WHEREAS, the Board of Representatives initially sought the additional sales tax authorization due
to a critical fiscal situation exacerbated in part by increasing state mandated programs and escalating solid
waste responsibilities, and only after extensive cost-cutting measures, and
WHEREAS, the division of proceed proposed by the City would result in an estimated 20 per cent
increase in County property taxes and would, therefore, thwart the Board of Representatives long-term
fiscal plan to ease the burden of state -mandated programs upon property tax -payers, and
WHEREAS, the Common Council's threat to kill the County's enabling legislation altogether,
would result in a forty-four percent County property tax increase, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, That this Board of Representatives hereby urges the City Council to accept the
Board of Representative's Resolution, and in the form submitted to state legislation.

(NO FURTHER ACTION NECESSARY)
RESOLUTION NO. 87 - AUTHORIZATION TO EXECUTE AGREEMENT WITH CITY OF
ITHACA - SALES TAX DISTRIBUTION
Moved by Ms. Mink, seconded by Mrs. Schuler. Ms. Mink offered the following amendments to the
agreement between the County of Tompkins and City of Ithaca:
1. a. Replace the wording "consumer price index (CPI -U, Northeast)..." in the last sentence on
pages 3 and 4 in paragraph 4 with ... "total of sales tax revenues generated from sales attributed to the
City of Ithaca, as determined by adjusted quarterly reports generated by the New York State Department
of Taxation and Finance, for the twelve months ending October 31, 1994, and the denominator of which
is the equivalent total of sales tax revenues for the period ending October 31, 1993".
b. Replace the wording "consumer price index..." in paragraph 5 on page 4 with ... "total of
sales tax revenues as measured as per paragraph 4 of this agreement for the period ending October 31,
1995 and the denominator of which is the equivalent total of sales tax revenues for the period ending
October 31, 1993".
2. Delete on page 3, paragraph 2, "the City Prosecutor Office" and on page 4, paragraph 7,
"$50,000.00 for the City Prosecutor's Office". Change the figure for funding human service agencies to
$190,000.00 instead of $180,000.00.
3. Delete the following wording in paragraph 8 on pages 5 and 6: "Similarly, it is understood and
agreed that the City's agreement to support said proposed legislation is conditioned upon and in
consideration of receiving such payments from the County and that nothing in this agreement or in the
City's support for this proposed legislation shall be construed to imply the City's support for future similar
legislation".
It was stated that this is also an agreement to sit down with the City of Ithaca to discuss the
consolidation of some services.
79
March 16, 1993
A brief discussion followed concerning the County Administrator's handout on sales tax split.
Mrs. Call stated that she has a problem with the part in this agreement that addresses funding to the
Human Services Coalition. She stated that by the City not funding the Human Services Coalition, it will
no longer be a coalition. Ms. Mink stated that people in the Coalition consider the service agencies as the
coalition rather than the funding sources.
Mr. Todd, stated that he believes the City of Ithaca is trying to force the County to go along with
this agreement and if the Ways and Means Committee of the Assembly are willing to give preemptive
rights, then the towns could have come to the County with the same thing.
Mr. Winch stated that he believes there needs to be more negotiating and more intermunicipal
cooperation and believes areas should not be limited to youth development and human services.
Mr. Proto stated that he is disappointed at the stress this issue has caused and feels it is unfortunate
that the City is in such a financial situation that they need this. Mr. Proto expressed concern for giving
the City this amount of money without anything to show for it.
Mr. Watros stated that as a member of the negotiating team, he spent a lot of time with City
officials and negotiated in the best interest of Tompkins County. He stated that the City Common
Council agreed to reduce their original request of $960,000 to $825,000. Mr. Watros expressed concern
over the sunset clause and stated the County may have to negotiate again. Mr. Watros expressed concern
for the equity issue with the towns. He stated that being proposed by preemptive rights is that an
additional $1 million of the additional one cent sales tax revenue go to the City. He stated that there has
been no discussion at this point to cut in towns for their equal share. He stated that it might be
appropriate when you look at the economics, to say that the towns have been done a disservice by the
proposed negotiated settlement. He stated that he feels it is in the best interest of the public for discussion
on the consolidation of services to continue.
Mr. Mason expressed concern for residents of towns and villages paying more for certain services
than City residents.
It was Moved by Mr. Winch, seconded by Mr. Evans, and unanimously adopted by voice vote, to
Table this resolution until all arguments have been heard on the proposed sales tax resolutions.
RESOLUTION NO. 88 - AMENDMENT OF RESOLUTION NO. 359 OF 1992 - REQUEST FOR
AUTHORIZATION TO INCREASE LOCAL SALES TAX
(POSTPONED — CONSIDERED MUTE)
Moved by Mr. Watros, seconded by Mrs. Call. Chairman Watros said that this resolution shares
with the towns and raises property taxes twenty percent. Discussion followed at length concerning the
handout provided by Mr. Heyman, County Administrator, which describes the outlook for a property tax
increase in 1994. According to Mr. Heyman, in 1994 a property tax increase of approximately seven
percent is expected. If the Board chooses to adopt the proposed agreement with the City of Ithaca, the
property tax increase would be approximately 13-14 percent. If the Board were to choose to share the
proposed additional amount with the towns, the property tax increase would be approximately twenty
percent.
It was Moved by Mrs. Schuler, seconded by Mr. Stein, and unanimously adopted by voice vote, to
Table this resolution until all arguments have been heard on the proposed sales tax resolutions.
RESOLVED, That Resolution No. 359 of 1992 be amended as follows: the figure: "75 percent" is
amended to read 50 percent; the figure "25 percent" is amended to read 50 percent.
80
March 16, 1993
RESOLVED, further, That this Board commits itself to continue to work with representatives of
the City of Ithaca toward consolidation of service delivery in manner that benefits all the residents of
Tompkins County.

within the City of Ithaca, that it would be divided between the City and County with the City's receiving
25 percent of that one percent and the County's receiving 75 percent of that one percent, and
WHEREAS, based on adjusted sales tax reports for 1992 as provided by the New York State
Division of Taxation and Finance, and assuming continued inflation in the amount of three percent per
year, it is estimated by the City of Ithaca that the difference between the City's receiving 50 percent of
that one percent and receiving 25 percent of that one percent exceeds $975,000 for the calendar year
1994, and
WHEREAS, the City believes it should receive 50 percent of the additional one percent sales tax in
order to be able to meet its responsibilities without imposing undue adverse property tax impacts on the
property owners in the City, and
WHEREAS, the City wishes to further the spirit of cooperation between the City and the County,
now therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the Chairman of the Board is hereby authorized to enter into an agreement with
the City of Ithaca regarding the City's support for proposed legislation authorizing the County to charge
an additional one percent sales tax for a total sales tax of four percent in addition to the four percent
imposed by the State of New York, with that portion to be divided between the County and the City so
that the City receives 25 percent of that one percent and the County receives 75 percent of that one
percent,
RESOLVED, further, That the City of Ithaca's support of such legislation is provided in
consideration of the County of Tompkins' agreement to provide payment of certain sums to the City of
Ithaca for services which the City provides, as outlined in said agreement, such sum to total $825,000 in
1994 and to be adjusted in subsequent years for inflation.

Special Board Meeting
Chairman Watros called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m.
Members and guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Present: 12 Representatives. Excused: 3 (Representatives Call, Culligan and Todd and
Representative Schuler was excused at 6:36 p.m.).
Chairman Watros stated the purpose of the meeting was to discuss and take action on solid waste
issues.
Under privilege of the floor, Ed Cope, Town of Caroline and Solid Waste Management Advisory
Committee (SWAC) Chair, said he had personal comments and that a member from SWAC will speak as
the representative of that group. He stated his opposition to the resolution on the agenda concerning DR -
7 abandonment. He felt the County should keep communications open with the Department of
Environmental Conservation (DEC) concerning the permit until the site becomes economically feasible.
Under privilege of the floor, Dooley Kiefer, representative of Solid Waste Management Advisory
Committee (SWAC), stated the committee's opinions on the following resolutions: supports proceeding
with the development of the Central Processing Facility project; supports proposed decision to continue
out -of -county disposal in the near term and to abandon the development of the DR -7 site; supports the
steps to improve the hauler collection process and recommends the development of contingency plans as
an alternate and that county -level hauler franchising be explored as an option; and supports the goals of
the solid waste financing resolution, however, would recommend that the intentions of financing the solid
waste management program, a statement of the need for equitable treatment of and clear economic cues
for potential users of the solid waste management program's services, and a statement of revenue sources
being explored and the desirability of relating funding sources to the specific waste services to be funded
be included. She also urged the Board to approve a resolution concerning the County's intentions to
remove hazardous materials from the waste stream which SWAC approved.
Under privilege of the floor, Ernest Bury, Valley Road, said there are many ways the County can
manage solid waste. There is no state mandate that says the County needs to be so involved in solid
waste. He spoke about United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit, overturning flow control and also
spoke in opposition to proceeding with the Central Processing Facility project.
Under privilege of the floor, Amari Meader, Town of Dryden, spoke in support of the resolution to
abandon the DR -7 site and thanked the Board for observing citizens rights and keeping the door open.
Under privilege of the floor, Herb Engman, Town of Danby and Environmental Management
Council Chair, said economics may change and feels the County should get another landfill site. He
believes people have a right to know where a landfill may be sited.
Under privilege of the floor, Nancy Ten Kate, Town of Dryden, said that if DR -7 continues to be a
prospective site then the property protection program would have to stay in affect which costs money.
She also thanked the Board for listening and spoke in support of the resolution to abandon DR -7.
Under privilege of the floor, Noel Desch, Chair of Chamber of Commerce County Affairs
Committee, thanked the Board for inviting the Chamber and opportunity to participate in the process and
making information available. He asked the Board to table the resolution to proceed with the Central
Processing Facility (CPF) and to look at short-term and long-term options. The following are three
specific questions concerning the CPF project:
1. Why spend 150 per square foot for the facility?
2. Why is County planning to pay $250,000 in taxes for the facility?
84
March 30, 1993
3. Why pay the landscaping for 12 acres of land?
Under privilege of the floor, Dan Collins, Chamber of Commerce, said the County Affairs
Committee is not comfortable with the direction the County is taken with the Central Processing Facility
(CPF) project. The Committee feels that advanced technology will change, i.e. fly ash, and believes there
are interim steps that could be taken.
Under privilege of the floor, Scott Craver, County Affairs Committee member, stated that the
decision to move forward with the Central Processing Facility should hinge on its ability to decrease the
cost of the County's recycling program. He stated that he has reviewed the tables regarding the tonnage
of recyclables that were prepared by the County and believes more studies need to be done.
Under privilege of the floor, Thomas Bonn, 131 1/2 Cambridge Place and member of Citizens
Advisory Committee and former resident of Etna, felt it would be unfair to the neighbors and residents in
that area if DR -7 continued to be a potential site. He spoke in support of the resolution to abandon DR -7.
Chairman Watros stated that at this point in the meeting he would turn the meeting over to Mr.
Lerner, Chairman, Solid Waste and Resource Management Committee, and that comments from the
public would only be allowed from Mr. Noel Desch, Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce's County
Affairs Committee.
Mr. Lerner stated that it has been three months since his Chairmanship of the Solid Waste and
Resource Management Committee began and stated that there has been a lot of time and work with
preparing reports and developing information for this meeting. He thanked Board members, the Chamber
of Commerce, members of Solid Waste Advisory Committees and staff.
Mr. Lerner asked Assistant County Attorney, Jonathan Wood, to address the impact of flow control
legislation being overturned by Federal courts in the State of Mississippi. Mr. Wood stated that the
decision is not binding in New York State. The second Court of Appeals which is the Federal Court and
would bind New York State has never addressed that issue. At the moment the vast majority of State
courts have upheld this law. Mr. Wood stated that at some time the law may go to the Supreme Courts
but stated that the effect of that is somewhat overstated. He stated that if the law were overturned it
would not mean that Tompkins County should not build a central processing facility; it would mean that
the County would have to find other means of financing at least in part by another way. At the moment
Tompkins County does not face that issue because flow control is currently legal in New York State and
if a time came when flow control became illegal, the County would at that time reevaluate how it finances
its facilities. Mr. Wood stated that if the flow control law were overturned it does not mean that it would
make any County facility useless. Mrs. Eckstrom stated that she is confident at this point in time that
there is compliance with Flow Control in Tompkins County.
On motion of the appropriate committee chairman and duly seconded and unanimously adopted by
voice vote by members present, the following resolution was added to the agenda:
Reaffirmation of Intent to Continue Toward Elimination of Household Hazardous Waste from the
Waste Stream
Chairman Watros gave the appropriate committee chairman permission to withdraw from the
agenda the following resolution with final committee action being affirmed:
CA33b-93 - Authorization to Execute a Six Month Contract Extension with Superior Disposal, Inc.
for the Transfer and Hauling of Recyclable Materials
85
March 30, 1993
RESOLUTION NO. 90 RECYCLING AND SOLID WASTE CENTER - ACCEPTING
PROJECT JUSTIFICATION, CONSTITUTING A NEGOTIATING
TEAM AND AUTHORIZING THE CONCLUSION OF
NEGOTIATIONS
Moved by Mr. Lerner, seconded by Mrs. Livesay.
Mr. Lerner referred Board members and public to page four of the report entitled The Purpose and
Features of the Tompkins County Recycling and Solid Waste Center. Mr. Lerner explained that the
intention of the central processing facility is to end up with a solid waste program that costs less each year
than it would without the facility. The purpose of the Facility is to bring the County's costs down. Mr.
Lerner discussed how costs were itemized (see page four of report) and showed the total annual savings
of the project. Following discussion, Mr. Lerner stated in response to the Chamber of Commerce's
question concerning sales tax, that the Facility will be a privatized operation and would be subject to
property tax including County tax. Mr. Heyman noted that the bonds for the project could be tax exempt.
Mr. Lerner stated that it is estimated that in 1995 having the Facility operating will mean that the County's
solid waste budget will be approximately $150,000 less than it would be under the current plan. He stated
that by moving forward with this project he sees a Facility that makes the County's solid waste program
much more stable, flexible and adaptable to changing circumstances.
Representative Schuler was excused from the meeting at this time.
Mr. Lerner introduced Mr. John Kowalchak, Director of the Division of Solid Waste for Broome
County who thanked the Board for inviting him. Mr. Kowalchak responded to questions raised by
members of the Board and stated that although Broome County was used in a comparison with Tompkins
County by the Chamber of Commerce, Broome County is very different. He stated that there is a great
difference in the counties of demographics, public policies in solid waste management, economic
conditions, social attitudes and politics. Mrs. Eckstrom asked Mr. Kowalchak questions which evolved
from a meeting between Chairman Watros and the County Affairs Committee on
March 29, 1993. She asked Mr. Kowalchak to answer why Broome County's cost of landfill closure is
listed as $2,807,000 yet their budget reflects $800,000. Mr. Kowalchak stated that this figure includes a
set aside; in 1989 Broome County developed an enterprise fund which had incorporated to it funds for
both closure and long term maintenance which are within 35 percent. Therefore, this amount includes a
set aside amount. Mr. Kowalchak stated the $1.1 million cost for Broome County's recycling facility
does not include debt calculations and he also stated that this is not a waste transfer facility or drop off-
center. Discussion followed concerning trends and what the market trends are expected to be for
recyclables.
A roll call vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 9, Noes - 2 (Representatives Proto and Shurtleff),
Excused - 4 (Representatives Call, Culligan, Schuler and Todd). Adopted.
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Board of Representatives by Resolution No. 505 dated
December 17, 1991, authorized the publication of a final Request for Proposals ("RFP") for the design,
construction, acceptance testing and operation of the Tompkins County Recycling and Solid Waste Center
("Facility"), formerly the Central Processing Facility, and accepted findings related to the substantive
elements of comments received in the relation to the draft RFP in connection therewith, and
WHEREAS, the Board of Representatives by Resolution No. 348 dated October 20, 1992 accepted
the recommendation of the Evaluation Team to designate as preferred proposers for negotiations CRlnc.
and Resource Recycling Technologies (RRT), authorized the issuance of an amended Request for
Proposals to said proposers reflecting cost saving measures requested by the Board and authorized and
directed the Evaluation Team to continue to negotiate with either of said proposers, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Solid Waste and Resource Management Committee, That
the Board of Representatives reaffirms and accepts the Facility Justification Report prepared by the Solid
86
March 30, 1993
Waste Manager and desires to conclude the procurement process as promptly as possible, and declares
the continued procurement and development of the Facility to be in the public interest,

Ithaca as stated in Resolution No. 77 dated February 19, 1991,
RESOLVED, further, That the Board of Representatives reaffirms its goals
to minimize the long term cost of solid waste handling through:
a) maximum flexibility for disposal, recycling and reuse,
b) minimum cost of facility development,

RESOLVED, further, That the Board of Representatives hereby authorizes the Chair of the Board
of Representatives to appoint a final negotiating Committee and negotiators,
RESOLVED, further, That the Negotiating Team be authorized and directed to conclude
negotiations with CRInc. and Resource Recycling Technologies, Inc. (RRT), taking into account cost
saving measures previously requested by this Board of Representatives and as set forth in its Resolution
No. 348, dated October 20, 1992 subject to a) the requirements of the State Environmental Quality
Review Act, and b) the need, if any, to modify or amend the existing Part 360 permits for the Facility
issued by the Department o -f Environmental Conservation, all of which conditions may be specified as
conditions precedent to the County's obligation to perform under the Service Agreement.
SEQR ACTION: EXEMPT OR TYPE II
(NO FURTHER ACTION NECESSARY)
RESOLUTION NO. 91 - ABANDONMENT OF THE TOMPKINS COUNTY PROPOSED
LANDFILL SITE: DR -7
Moved by Mr. Evans, seconded by Mr. Lerner.
Mr. Lerner addressed this resolution stating that the County has spent countless hours and dollars
and it is not by any means a trivial decision to reverse course like this. He stated that a great deal of the
controversy over Tompkins County building a landfill has revolved around the site itself and whether DR -
7 is a viable site. He stated that after all this time the Committee's main reason for adopting this
resolution does not reflect feelings about the site but rather in the past several years the market for waste
disposal, particularly the market for landfilling has changed significantly. In 1986 there was a severe
shortage of landfill space in New York State and relatively recently imposed regulations by the
Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) that severely constrained the operation of old-style
landfills. These constraints rapidly caused old-style landfills to go out of business in the following years.
In 1986 it was not possible to predict what the situation was going to be several years down the line. The
County has learned several things since that time: building landfills that comply with DEC regulations
are a tremendously expensive proposition, there are tremendous economies of scale to be achieved by
building big landfills, and that if a County is most concerned with their per ton cost for waste disposal,
these costs would be a lot lower if capital costs are spread over far more tons than Tompkins County
produces. Therefore, when Tompkins County made a commitment in 1987 to build a landfill that would
take waste from only one County and a landfill that would only operate for twenty years a limitation was
put on the amount of waste that landfill was going to take. It is now more economical for Tompkins
County to take waste where the per ton cost of disposal is lower even taking into consideration the cost of
transportation.
Mr. Mason stated that he feels adoption of the proposed resolution has been a long time coming,
however disagrees with the wording in the last RESOLVED. He believes the wording is unfair and
would pose as a threat to everyone else in Tompkins County. Mr. Proto stated that the Board may
abandon this site now and a future Board may reverse this decision in the future.
87
March 30, 1993
It was Moved by Mr. Mason, seconded by Mr. Proto, to amend the resolution adding a final
Resolved as follows: "RESOLVED, further, That Tompkins County hereby abandons in -County
landfilling and the staff is directed to continue scrutinizing other landfill options in the County". Mrs.
Eckstrom explained that the DEC would not approve Tompkins County's Solid Waste Management Plan
if the County abandoned the possibility of looking for a landfill site in this County. They want the
County to generally look for in -county landfilling, they find it unacceptable for a county to say that they
are not going to put a landfill in their County. There was discussion by members of the Board concerning
revisiting this resolution if circumstances were to change at some point in the future. It was the consensus
of the Board that this issue could be reconsidered in the future if a Board chose to. Chairman Watros
gave Mr. Mason permission to withdraw the above -stated amendment and Mr. Proto to withdraw his
second.
Mr. Lerner stated that it is not cost effective in 1993 for the Board to choose to build a landfill in
Tompkins County, however, in 1987 it would have been impossible for a Board to predict good bid price
in 1993 and any responsible Board member in 1987 should have voted for Tompkins County to have a
landfill. He stated that no action being taken this evening should be taken as a criticism for what the
Board did in 1987 with regard to planning to build a landfill.
Mr. Winch thanked the public for their comments. Mr. Winch stated that he believes in
economies of scale and because there are large landfills that are available to take our trash and thinks that
it will be economically sound to contract with those landfills. He stated that he doesn't foresee Tompkins
County ever finding a several thousand acre site to construct a large landfill that will support this County
as well as other counties. Mr. Winch offered concern for future liability of the County if there were to be
a major disaster to occur in a landfill that Tompkins County delivers to.
A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 11, Noes - 0, Excused -4 (Representatives Call, Culligan,
Schuler and Todd). Adopted.
WHEREAS, Resolution No. 334 of December 7, 1987, selected the landfill site known as DR -7 in
the Town of Dryden, which DR -7 is the subject of an application for a permit to construct a sanitary
landfill pending before the New York State Depaitment of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), and
WHEREAS, the existence of federally protected wetlands required site facilities to be reconfigured
and required a supplemental Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) to be prepared and submitted,
and
WHEREAS, such reconfiguration of facilities at the site would increase the cost of constructing
and operating a landfill at DR -7 when compared to other solid waste disposal alternatives, and
WHEREAS, the County is holding the Neighborhood Protection Program in abeyance pending the
final decision on the disposal method, thus removing the protection without the elimination of the
perceived risks of the development of DR -7, and
WHEREAS, the Administrative Law Judge presiding over the Tompkins County permit hearings
has recently requested a comprehensive update on the status of the County's application which has been
held in abeyance, and
WHEREAS, the County has experienced great success in its recycling programs, resulting in
significant reductions in the size of the waste stream and reducing the amount of solid waste to be
disposed of, and
WHEREAS, the County Board's commitment to limit the life of a landfill at the DR -7 site to 20
years reduces its economic viability. Recently constructed landfills are having serious financial problems
paying their operating expenses due to the decreased waste stream and the existence of excess landfill
capacity statewide, and
WHEREAS, excess landfill capacity exists at this time both in New York State and regionally, and
waste disposal by Tompkins County can make use of the excess capacity in an environmentally
responsible manner and at a reasonable cost to County users, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, by the Tompkins County Board of Representatives as follows That:
88
March 30, 1993
1. The present application for a permit to construct a landfill at the DR -7 site be withdrawn from
further consideration by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
2. The County terminate any further plans to site, construct, or operate any Solid Waste
Management facility on the DR -7 site in the Town of Dryden.
3. County staff be directed to revise the County's Draft Solid Waste Management Plan to reflect
this change from County landfilling at the DR -7 landfill site to more economical alternatives for disposal.
4. The DR -7 Property Value Protection component of the Neighborhood Protection Program be
terminated immediately.
5. The Citizens Advisory Committee for the landfill at the DR -7 site be disbanded, at a date
chosen by that committee, with our thanks and appreciation.
6. All other activities related to DR -7 be completed and a final financial report be issued by June
29, 1993.
RESOLVED, further, That the Capital Budget be amended to reflect this resolution,
RESOLVED, further, That Tompkins County is not abandoning in -county landfilling or any other
waste disposal option and the staff is directed to continue scrutinizing disposal options for the County.

RESOLUTION NO. 92 - AUTHORIZING THE PREPARATION OF PLAN AND SCHEDULE
FOR TRANSPORTATION AND DISPOSAL OF SOLID WASTE
Moved by Mr. Lerner, seconded by Mr. Evans. Mr. Lerner said that this resolution basically states
that if Tompkins County is not building a landfill to dispose of its garbage, the County needs to develop a
procurement process for disposal sites and this allows the Solid Waste Division to move forward in the
bid process. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 11, Noes - 0, Excused - 4 (Representatives Call,
Culligan, Schuler and Todd). Adopted.
WHEREAS, Tompkins County is a "Planning Unit" pursuant to Section 27-0107 of the
Environmental Conservation Law and is responsible for planning for the disposal of solid waste generated
in the County, and
WHEREAS, the County currently has contracts with Waste Management of New York, Inc. for the
transportation and disposal of its solid waste at the Modern Trash Removal of York, Inc. Landfill in York,
Pennsylvania, and
WHEREAS, these contracts with Waste Management of New York, Inc. terminate on October 31,
1993, unless extended by the County for a six month period, and
WHEREAS, the County has terminated plans to site a landfill at DR -7 in Dryden, now therefore be
it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Solid Waste and Resource Management Committee, That
the Solid Waste Manager is directed to prepare a plan and schedule by June 29, 1993 for a procurement
process for long-term transportation and disposal of solid waste.

WHEREAS, Resolution No. 15 of January 12, 1993 called for "a report and a plan that would
determine all the steps necessary to insure sufficient County control over all refuse hauling not provided
by municipalities, to guarantee the revenues and overall integrity of the Tompkins County Solid Waste
Management program" by March 31, 1993, and
WHEREAS, some private trash haulers violated the county's flow control law and illegally
deprived the county of revenues, and
WHEREAS, inadequate flow control enforcement is unfair to haulers who respect the law, and to
county residents, and
WHEREAS, flow control enforcement mechanisms already include investigation, criminal
penalties, license suspension and in some cases consent orders, and
WHEREAS, county record keeping and billing procedures for the disposal fee need to be
substantially enhanced by a software upgrade and integration of data bases, and
WHEREAS, some haulers failed to pay transfer station bills, or failed to pay promptly, and
WHEREAS, consumers in some municipalities pay far more for trash collection services than in
other municipalities, and
WHEREAS, buying sheets of 6 or 12 trashtags at once is a hardship for many county residents, and
WHEREAS, some residents have been denied refunds on previous year's trashtags, and
WHEREAS, the Board of Representatives intends to make every reasonable effort to preserve free
enterprise in trash collection, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Solid Waste and Resource Management Committee, That
the Solid Waste Manager and County Attorney shall (by June 29, 1993) prepare a budget and
recommendation on how best to improve enforcement of the flow control law, and to satisfy the board
that the law is being consistently complied with,
RESOLVED, further, That the County Comptroller and the Solid Waste Manager shall (by June
29, 1993) recommend a plan for requiring pre -payment or security for use of transfer station services
according to the following guidelines:
a) Present arrangements shall continue unchanged for Tompkins County municipalities.
b) All other permitted or licensed haulers delivering material to the transfer station must either pay
before tipping or provide adequate security (e.g. a bond, letter of credit or security deposit to
guarantee payment). The County shall not offer unsecured credit to any private hauler.
c) Adequate notice will be given to the public and to regular users of the transfer station before
changes in payment requirements are implemented.
RESOLVED, further, That the Solid Waste Manager and the County Comptroller shall (by June
29, 1993) recommend a plan on how to integrate transfer station record keeping and billing in order to
improve efficiency and to accommodate the above recommendations,
RESOLVED, further, That the County Attorney and the Solid Waste Manager shall (by June 29,
1993) prepare a recommendation on how to revise and improve the County's trashtag law (Local Law No.
10 of 1990). The proposed revisions shall include the requirement that single trashtags be sold to the
public on request at least one location, the requirement that residents be permitted to claim a refund from
the hauler on any trashtag until 90 days after its expiration date, and any other needed changes in the 1-aw,
RESOLVED, further, That the Solid Waste Manager shall (by June 29, 1993) prepare a report comparing
the arrangements made by municipalities for residential trash collection, and their effects on the costs to
residents. The report shall highlight the fact that County residents pay less for trash collection in
municipalities that put trash collection out for bid. The County shall encourage all towns and villages to
reduce collection costs through private sector bidding or other methods. The report shall be distributed to
all municipal governments with an offer of Solid Waste Division staff advice to any municipal
government that wishes to explore reducing trash collection costs for their residents.

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE'S REPORT ON
PRIVATIZATION
Moved by Mr. Lerner, seconded by Mr. Proto. Mr. Lerner referred the Chamber of Commerce's
report and stated that many of the items suggested in the report are already being done. He also referred
to a chart incorporated into the report comparing solid waste costs with several counties and stated that
this was published in today's edition of the Ithaca Journal. He stated that at the present time Tompkins
County is doing about average or somewhat better than other New York State counties and believes that
in five years Tompkins County will be in a much better situation once the central processing facility and
composting facility is on line. Chairman Watros thanked the Chamber of Commerce for devoting a lot of
time to this issue. A short roll call vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 11, Noes - 0, Excused - 4

RESOLUTION NO. 95 - ESTABLISHING CRITERIA FOR SOLID WASTE FINANCE
Moved by Mr. Lerner, seconded by Ms. Mink.
Mr. Lerner stated that the point of asking the Board to adopt this resolution is to try to get the
Board and the public to understand the complexities of the issues the County is facing. He said the
County for many years has paid the cost of solid waste through the property tax and that meant that the
tax exempt entities did not pay and that there were many drawbacks. The Board then began to fund
through the tipping fee as an incentive to recycle and reduce and unfortunately found out that it was an
incentive to illegally dump solid waste. The County found that when the tipping fee began to run high the
County experienced problems with the public and the haulers. In 1992 the Board explored options of
financing solid waste that avoided the property tax and disposal fee, thus, adopted the Solid Waste Annual
Fee. The County has heard from the public that this is an unpopular fee that is unfair. Mr. Lerner stated
that he cannot promise the Annual Fee will be eliminated in 1994 but hopes that another method of
charging for solid waste will be found that is as fair as possible to everyone. Mr. Stein expressed
appreciation on behalf of the Board to all advisory groups, staff and public for all their input and work on
solid waste matters. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 11, Noes - 0, Excused - 4 (Representatives
Call, Culligan, Schuler and Todd). Adopted.
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Board of Representatives wishes to establish a funding plan for
the county's solid waste program that will meet the needs of County residents for years to come, and
WHEREAS, the Board is grateful for and wishes to continue the important work begun by the
Finance Subcommittee of the Solid Waste Advisory Committee, and
WHEREAS, the Board recognizes that every tax or fee has advantages and drawbacks, and
WHEREAS, the Board recognizes that many conflicting considerations must be taken into account
to develop a balanced plan, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Solid Waste and Resource Management Committee, That
the plan should combine multiple revenue streams to maximize the following criteria:
The financing plan must be stable, environmentally benign, fair, easy to understand, easy to
implement, easy to enforce, and with costs as low as possible (detailed criteria list attached),
RESOLVED, further, that the Ad Hoc Solid Waste Finance Committee is directed to develop a
plan to fund the County solid waste program for at least five years, beginning with the 1994 County
budget,
92
March 30, 1993
RESOLVED, further, That current realities and future trends be recognized and incorporated into
the financing plan, so that it is a flexible one that requires minimal adjustment.

RESOLUTION NO. 96 - REAFFIRMATION OF INTENT TO CONTINUE TOWARD
ELIMINATION OF HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE FROM
THE WASTE STREAM
Moved by Mr. Lerner, seconded by Mr. Evans, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by
members present.
WHEREAS, the existence of toxic or hazardous materials in the solid waste stream poses a
potential danger to the workers who collect, haul, and/or sort trash, and
WHEREAS, such materials also constitute a threat to the environment, and
WHEREAS, such materials, if burned, contribute to air pollution, and if landfilled, make the
leachate dangerous, and
WHEREAS, any landfill may eventually leak, and
WHEREAS, eliminating from the waste stream as many environmentally harmful items as possible
makes our waste more marketable and any landfill safer, and
WHEREAS, it is possible to separate such materials at the source of generation and/or at a transfer
station or processing facility, and
WHEREAS, full provision has not yet been made in the Solid Waste Program for disposal of
household hazardous waste, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Solid Waste and Resource Management Committee, That
Tompkins County reaffirms its intent to continue to work toward elimination of household hazardous
waste and other toxic and hazardous materials from its waste stream.

"OLD JAIL RE -DEDICATION
MARCH 30, 1993
REMARKS OF MARTHA PRESTON,
CHAIRPERSON, ITHACA LANDMARKS PRESERVATION COMMISSION
105
April 6, 1993
This is an absolute pleasure for the Ithaca Landmarks Preservation Commission! To witness such a
wonderful transformation within this historic edifice is an exciting moment for every member of the
Commission, as well as every citizen of our county! It is also an excellent example of the cooperative
efforts between the county, this city, and the Landmarks Commission, of which we are especially
appreciative. This handsome building, originally erected in 1933, has succeeded in this adaptive reuse
though excellent design, sensitive planning, and acute attention to detail. It is interesting to imagine what
J. Lakin Baldridge, the original architect, would think of his County Jail design being reconfigured to
accommodate such efficient and inviting office spaces! I feel certain that he would be impressed!
The original design is an example of Neo -Georgian style, which became popular in the 1930's, primarily
due to the restoration work being done at that time in Williamsburg, Virginia. There are no authentic
Georgian architecture examples in Ithaca, as this style was prevalent from 1700-1780 and Ithaca, of
course, was settled after the colonial period. Many typical Georgian elements are exhibited in the "Old
Jail", such as the pediment with tooth-like dentil molding centered on the front facade, the main doorway
crowned with an ornate broken pediment supported by decorative flattened columns on either side, and
the small paned windows. The use of red brick and stone as primary building materials, and the stone
accents at the corners, known as quoins, are also characteristic of the Georgian style.
The architect, Mr. Baldridge, studied architecture at Cornell, graduating in 1922. He was an assistant
professor in the department the following year, and in 1924 he opened his own architectural office in
Ithaca. Mr. Baldridge designed two other Noe -Georgian building in town: the County Courthouse just
around the corner, erected at the same time as the jail; and the Cayuga Apartments on West Buffalo
Street, opposite DeWittt Park. He also designed several opulent houses in Cayuga Heights, where he
resided. Both the "Old Jail" and the County Courthouse are included in the DeWitt Park Local Historic
District and were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.
The jail and courthouse was Mr. Baldridge's last commission in Ithaca, for having inherited a substantial
amount of National Steel Corporation stock in 1931 and with the deepening Depression, he felt that he
should not take work away from those who needed it more. Mr. Baldridge then moved to Bermuda, built
himself a home, and became a deep sea fisherman.
Every resident of this county, whether they consider themselves an advocate or historic preservation or
not, should feel proud that the County officials chose to revitalize an existing building within the city to
accommodate their need for office space, ultimately saving taxpayers' money and enhancing the
appearance and vitality of Downtown Ithaca.
On a personal note, in 1933 when this building was originally constructed, my grandfather was a
businessman here in Ithaca. He may have watched the construction of the jail and courthouse, as he lived
only three blocks away. It gives me great pride and a sense of awe when I think that the County has now
given this handsome building a new use while preserving the original historic and architectural character
to be appreciated by generations to come!

Regular Meeting
Public Hearing
Chairman Watros called the public hearing to order at 5:30 p.m. concerning proposed Local Law
No. c of 1993 - Scanner Accuracy Law (version as adopted by Budget and Administration Committee
March 9, 1993). Chairman Watros asked if anyone wished to speak?
Will Burbank, 132 Glenside Road, Ithaca, spoke in opposition to proposed Local Law No. c of
1993 - Scanner Accuracy Law. Mr. Burbank stated that attention should be focused on the larger
problem which he believes is item pricing.
Rebecca Weber, New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG), spoke in opposition to
proposed Local Law No. c of 1993 - Scanner Accuracy Law. She stated that a similar law has been
considered in several counties throughout New York State and has not been adopted by any to date. She
said that item pricing is the only sure method to guard consumers against wrong prices. Ms. Weber
urged the Board not to adopt this law for the following reasons: the fines proposed in the law are too
low; stores will continue to take in a large amount of money in overcharges; the County would have
problems with enforcement; the law does not include item pricing and the law legalizes being less than
100 percent accurate.
Elizabeth A. Smith, East Shore Drive, Lansing, spoke in opposition to proposed Local Law No. c
of 1993 - Scanner Accuracy Law. Ms. Smith referred to statistics compiled in New York State in regard
to food sales. She urged the Board to not make the public settle for anything less than 100 percent
accuracy.
Ilene Finn, Town of Danby, spoke in opposition to proposed Local Law No. c of 1993 - Scanner
Accuracy Law. She stated that she finds it impossible to remember the price of each item she is buying
by the time she reaches the cashier. She said she feels this proposed law will hurt Tompkins County and
consumers and urged the Board to reconsider item pricing in Tompkins County.
No one else wished to speak and the public hearing was closed at 5:44 p.m.
Members and guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Present: 15 Representatives. Mr. Stein was excused from the meeting at 7:25 p.m. prior to action

Under privilege of the floor, Paul Bennett, Esq., spoke on behalf of five individuals he is currently
representing in the matter of the alleged sick building syndrome at the Department of Social Services.
He stated that he is frustrated with the progress the County has made in helping to resolve the complaints
of his clients. Mr. Bennett also commented on the procedure the County uses for employees filing for
107
April 20, 1993
workman's compensation and stated that some of his clients are not able to get workman's compensation
and may have to apply for public assistance themselves.
Under privilege of the floor, Catherine Brady, Ithaca College student, spoke in opposition to
proposed Local Law No. c of 1993 - Scanner Accuracy Law. Ms. Brady stated that she lives on a tight
budget and believes it is unfair to consumers to not have item pricing. Ms. Brady stated that consumers
would be cheated if stores were allowed to have anything less than 100 percent accuracy.
Under privilege of the floor, Yvonne Bartlett, Department of Social Services employee, spoke
concerning the alleged sick building syndrome at the Department of Social Services. Ms. Bartlett stated
that she has been out of work since March 1, 1993 and does not receive any disability of workman's
compensation.
Under privilege of the floor, Mrs. Call, Chairman, Budget and Administration Committee, stated
that a resolution to adopt proposed Local Law No. c of 1993 - Scanner Accuracy Law is not on the
agenda because the County Attorney is reviewing it and if any changes are made to the law, another
public hearing will be called.
Under privilege of the floor, Ms. Mink, Representative, District No. 5, stated that the proposed
Scanner Accuracy Law would not protect consumers and would undercut possible item pricing
legislation. She said item pricing is the only way for consumers to really know what they are paying.
She said that fifteen counties around the State have adopted item pricing and stated she would still like to
see item pricing in Tompkins County.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Lerner, Representative, District No. 1, spoke concerning
proposed Local Law No. c of 1993 - Scanner Accuracy Law. Mr. Lerner stated that scanner accuracy is
not a substitute for item pricing and that these are two different laws. He stated that he does not agree
that the County should accept any less than 100 percent accuracy, the fines should be increased and a
requirement to make the law self -policing should be included in the law. He said that he will introduce
amendments to the proposed Law under consideration.
Under privilege of the floor, Mrs. Livesay, Representative, District No. 11, spoke concerning
proposed Local Law No. c of 1993 - Scanner Accuracy Law. She stated that she agrees with Mr. Lerner
but believes that both scanner accuracy and item pricing should be included in the same law. Mrs.
Livesay recommended that a task force be created to see what is needed.

agencies. Ms. Mink expressed concern concerning the alleged sick building syndrome situation at the
Department of Social Services. She stated that steps are being taken to assess the air quality in the
108
April 20, 1993
building and to see what can and should be done to the building. She stated that the Committee and the
Board are taking the problem very seriously. Mr. Proto stated that after receiving a complaint about the
building in February, Health Depai tment staff were in the building that day to assess the concerns that
were expressed. Mr. Heyman, County Administrator, reported that the Employee Safety Committee
made testing County buildings a top priority. Professionals from Central New York Office of Safety and

Watros will be meeting on April 21 with representatives from the City to see if we need one committee
or three committees to follow-up with specific items in the recent sales tax agreement. Mrs. Livesay

stated that he approached US Air and Continental for prizes and was surprised to learn that each had

Mr. Winch, Representative, District No. 8, introduced Laurie Goldstein and Whitney Bozelco,
Ithaca College students working closely with the Physical Plant Operation staff on environmental
management. Ms. Goldstein began her presentation reviewing the history of recycling and waste
management at Ithaca College in 1989. She stated that by 1991, 25 percent of the waste stream had been
reduced. She said that since that time waste reduction efforts have continued to expand and stated that
during that time an on -campus composting facility was created at Ithaca College of which the annual goal
is over 200 tons of food waste. This would bring the College to total reduction of 43 percent of diverted
waste. Ms. Goldstein explained the process, used for food -composting at the College. Ms. Bozelco
explained what is involved in the College's Solid Waste Management Program. She stated that since
implementation of the program, the amount of solid waste being delivered to the landfill has been reduced
by approximately 400 tons. She stated that the composting facility has reduced the amount by another
150-200 tons which brings the College's total tonnage being delivered to the landfill by approximately
600 tons. She stated that the program has benefits for both the College and County. She said that future
program goals include increasing the amount of material being recycled by ten percent which result in
another 100 tons being diverted from the waste stream. The College would also like to increase the
capacity of its food composting facility by another 200 tons per year, and to reduce the amount of waste
in its waste stream by two-thirds by the end of 1994. Ms. Bozelco stated that they would also like to
increase the number of students enrolled in the program.
Mr. Winch thanked Tom Brown, Physical Plant Director, Al Cobane, and Rick Couture, also of
Ithaca College and stated that the County is fortunate to have people to work with on the issue of solid
waste.

May 4, 1993
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Mason, Representative, District No. 15, brought to the Boards'
attention that some municipalities are considering extending their spring clean-up days and may ask the
County to wave charges for C&D (construction and demolition) at the landfill as the County did last year.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Lerner, Representative, District No. 1, spoke about a meeting he
attended concerning a project called Ithacanet. The concept is to create local public access computer
telecommunications networks. The model being used is the Cleveland Freenet which has been operating
for eight or nine years. The idea is anyone with a personal computer and a modem either at home or at a
business would be able to call to a central server which would make it possible to have E -Mail,
computerized discussion groups, access to international internet of computer services and other related
services at no charge to the user.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Lerner, Representative, District No. 1, stated that he had been
shopping at an Ithaca supermarket and explained an experience which he had in line. He stated that a
customer was arguing with a cashier over the price on the shelf and the scanner. The cashier stated that
he/she could not leave his/her station to check the price on the shelf. The cashier proceeded to void items
as requested by the customer. During a conversation with this cashier, Mr. Lerner was told that a cashier
gets penalized for an excess amount of voids.
Mr. Lerner, Chairman of the Solid Waste and Resource Management Committee, reported on the
solid waste finance committee appointed by the Chairman of the Board to pursue a finance plan for solid
waste for 1994 and thereafter. He said he would be speaking about the revenue side of solid waste and at
another meeting he will speak about the expense side. He said he would not be addressing recycling
revenues, grants and license and permit fees this evening which have all been subtracted out of the figures
being discussed later. He said there are four potential large sources of revenue for the solid waste
program for 1994:
1. Tipping fee - the per ton charge at the transfer station for waste coming in is currently at $95
per ton. The first decision to be made is how high should the tipping fee be. We need to be aware that
the higher the tipping fee the more potential there is of flow control violations. A higher tipping fee is an
incentive to recycle but is also a stronger incentive to dump illegally, irresponsible burning and violate the
flow control law. We also need to be aware that the more the solid waste program is dependent on the
tipping fee the long-term effect will cause a risk because the program is designed to reduce the tonnage in
future years. If the tonnage decreases every year then the financing is too dependent on tonnage
dependent revenues and will result in a shrinking revenue stream.
2. Annual fee - the perception is that the fee is unfair and is expensive to administer. We are
spending over $100,000 this year administering the fee with sending out the bills and processing the
payments. However after the first year, the amount decreases.
3. Property tax - any solid waste related expenses shifted back to property tax will result in
increases. The Board is already dealing with potential increases for a number of other reasons.
Mr. Lerner stated at this time that in the 1993 and 1994 budget there is approximately $1 million in
expenses for maintenance and closure of old landfills: Caswell, Hillview and DR -7. These expenses are
not related to the current tonnages in solid waste. The Board may wish to pursue the possibility of
including these expenses in the property tax.
4. Recycling fee - may be based on the weight or volume of recycling put out at the curb by a
home or delivered to the recycling center by a business. This may be a disincentive to recycle. In 1994,
13,500 tons of recycling is being budgeted.

May 4, 1993
Mr. Lerner distributed and explained a draft outline of solid waste financing options for 1994. It
outlined the 1992 system, six options based on a $120 tipping fee, and two options with lowering the
tipping fee. He stated that the outline is not a proposal for the solution; it is a statement of the problem.
Mrs. Livesay asked if the expense of administering the collection of the recycling and the logistics
of opening the recycling center were discussed. Mr. Lerner said no but the logistics of access to the
recycling center will be reviewed in the next couple of months.
Mr. Proto asked if the approximate cost of the Central Processing Facility with the bonding has
been reflected in the $6 million total solid waste budget. Mr. Lerner said the debt service is included.
Mr. Proto also asked if there was an optimum and/or not so optimum tipping fee.
Ms. Mink spoke about option C-1 but suggested changing the annual fee to recycling fee. Mr.
Lerner said landfill closure is also included in the $45 annual fee and that it does not only include
recycling costs. He said this year and if the Board continues with the annual fee next year it would
include landfill closure costs (approximately $1 million) and recycling expenses. She asked if the landfill
closure costs could be included in the property tax instead. Mrs. Call agreed.
Mr. Stein said he was concerned with the household fee because of the changed rules established
several years ago; you pay for what you make. He said he preferred the recycling fee over the annual fee
because a person has some options to control their costs. He feels the recycling fee is incentive to
purchase recyclable material as where the household fee removes that incentive. He stated his preference
is a combination of a recycling fee and a tipping fee.
Mrs. Livesay cautioned against calling the annual fee a recycling fee. The annual fee includes
more than recycling expenses. The fee also includes landfill closure and maintenance.
Mr. Lerner stated that the collection mechanism by which the County decides to acquire needed
revenue is what he is primarily concerned with at this time. If the County should choose to adopt a
recycling fee, the revenue would reflect the volume or weight of recyclables brought in, which would still
fall far short of the needed revenue. If the annual fee mechanism is used, the County could determine the
amount of revenue needed and establish a fee that could yield the needed revenue.
Mr. Joseph referred to B-1 in the draft outline of Solid Waste Financing Options and asked what an
11.3 percent property tax increase would translate to in a dollar amount. Mr. Heyman stated that an
average single-family homeowner would pay approximately an additional $46 per year based on a
$100,000 home. Mr. Joseph stated that the adoption of an annual fee would have less impact on property
owners than a property tax increase because the fee includes not-for-profit agencies and tax-exempt
properties.
Mr. Lerner concluded the discussion by asking Board members to submit questions and comments
in writing.
Mr. Proto, Chairman, Health and Education Committee, reported that the Committee met April 27
and had a presentation on the status of the Job Training Council. It was decided at that meeting to revive
Kris Deluca -Beach's proposal regarding the addition of a service coordinator for the County. He stated
that the Committee received an update from the Healthy Heart program on the school lunch program. He
stated that Suzanne Stopen, Director, Children with Special Needs Program, attended the meeting and
gave a presentation on that program. Mr. Proto said that the six month report regarding the Dental
Hygienist in -school program was placed on desks this evening. On April 29 he attended, along with
Chairman Watros, a meeting in Cortland of the Nine County Regional Body at which the topic was rabies
and how it affects Upstate New York. He said that Tompkins Cortland Community College will be using

University and the community having to do with the sale of goods and services at the campus. He stated
that he attended a meeting yesterday and reviewed the new rules and regulations that were instituted a

was facing a few years ago have been solved. Mr. Stein reported that the Planning Depaitment has begun
the process of developing a vision plan/comprehensive plan for the County which will be a one to three
year process. He stated that an ad-hoc committee has been created to make recommendations to the
County.
Mr. Winch, Chairman, Public Works and Construction Management Committee, made mention
that he has been receiving questions and comments concerning what the economic impact of the storm
and flood has been on the County's infrastructure. He stated that Tompkins County did not receive as
much damage as some surrounding counties. Mr. Winch stated that staff is compiling information on
this and it will be available soon.
Mr. Todd, Chairman, Fiscal Affairs Committee, stated that the Committee met on April 28 and
completed work on the Fiscal Plan and forwarded it to the Budget and Administration Committee for its

purpose for the County was advanced through the Fiscal Affairs Committee and will be sent to employees
and the public for comment before bringing it to this Board. The Committee also discussed whether
another community survey will be conducted. The next Committee meeting will be May 13 at 10:30 a.m.

the Small Cities program. Mr. Carlson stated that the program has been in existence since 1978 and is an
annual funding competition run through the Department of Housing and Urban Development. This year
approximately 200 communities across New York State applied with approximately 75 applications being
accepted. This year Tompkins County is looking at a County -sponsored home -ownership program that
would be available Countywide which the Planning Deparinient feels is much needed in the County. Karl
Heck, Administrative Coordinator, updated the Board on meetings that have been held with lending
institutions, stating that five have made preliminary commitments to the program. He stated that a survey
was completed of potential applicants to the program which showed a strong level of interest. Based on

130
May 18, 1993

the working group from the City to consolidate human services and stated that the meeting was very
productive.
Mr. Mason, Chairman, Public Safety Committee, reported that the committee met on May 14 at
noon and primarily discussed the Sheriffs Department needs assessment. Mr. Mason made reference to a
report on the Department prepared by Deputy County Administrator, Kathy West. Mr. Mason stated that
a motion to release the report to the public failed at the Committee meeting. However, since that time, a
press release has been issued by the Deputy Sheriffs Association and he felt that with concurrence by the
committee, it would be appropriate to release the report at this time. Mr. Mason expressed outrage at the
press release issued by the Deputy Sheriffs Association and stated that the report addressed issues that the
Committee asked it to. He stated that the Committee met prior to the Board meeting and discussed an
Alternatives to Incarceration proposal. He stated that the proposal will reduce the population of the Jail
and possibly allow the County to board prisoners in and reduces the chances of boarding prisoners out.

Health Services Board approves and recommends this proposal.

on the work the Public Works Department has planned for County roads this summer.
Mr. Stein, Representative, District No. 3, spoke to the resolution intended for withdrawal on the
agenda entitled Responsibility for County Bridges on Town Highways. He stated that he believes this
resolution needs to deal with the needs of communities in the County on an individual basis. He feels
131
May 18, 1993
those towns who cannot afford to take care of bridges in their communities should be helped more than
those towns who can afford it.
Mr. Todd, Chairman, Fiscal Affairs Committee, stated that the committee met May 13 and

distributed based on priorities. There was a discussion on what would be considered a priority and the

Stein and Mrs. Livesay over an application process being used to apply for these funds. Mr. Todd stated
that the committee will continue to work on this and stated that the committee hopes to have a fiscal plan
available in June. Mr. Lerner stated that if the Fiscal Affairs Committee should decide to conduct a

WHEREAS, the Human Services Coalition is established and funded in part by Tompkins County
to provide an objective overview of health and human service needs and provisions based on expert

requests for the funding:

2. The Coalition is not required to recommend expenditure of all of the funds allocated by the
County;
3. By September 1, 1993, the Human Services Coalition shall present the results of its review of

Coalition will recommend the conditions of the funding.
8. If any agency decides not to offer a service, or the Human Services coalition determines during
the review process that a provider is no longer able to offer the service, but the need for the service is
still found to be high, the Human Services Coalition may request that money be encumbered for that
136
May 18, 1993
service, subject to final review and recommendation by the Human Services Coalition to the Human
Services Committee.
9. If any program, previously reviewed through the Human Services Coalition process, is to be
reviewed through any other County process in 1993, the 1993 dollars attached to the program will be part

reduced level;
4. Agency's organizational ability to deliver proposed services and meet the needs of clients;
5. Effectiveness of agency planning, and management of fiscal and personnel resources;

duplication of service or countywide service delivery, though these should not be scored among the above
criteria in the evaluation instrument,
RESOLVED, further, That in its 1994 Work Plan, the Coalition will continue a systematic review
of all agencies receiving health or human service grant funding from Tompkins County. This review
shall evaluate efficiency of agency administration and effectiveness of service delivery. The Coalition

process and the activities of the Coalition, and that a summary of the results of this survey shall be
distributed to the agencies and to the Human Services Committee,
RESOLVED, further, That the Human Services Coalition will evaluate and update its plan to

RESOLUTION NO. 146 - ESTABLISHING BOARD MEMBER SALARIES - 1994-1997
(Amended by R.365 of 1993)
Moved by Mrs. Call, seconded by Mr. Shurtleff. Mrs. Call stated that the Budget and
Administration Committee discussed this resolution at length and decided to bring it to the full Board for
discussion.
Mr. Shurtleff stated that he feels strongly that by setting Board members salaries too low, it
discriminates against the lower income segment of the population that may wish to be on the Board. It
was Moved by Mr. Shurtleff, seconded by Ms. Mink, to increase Board salaries to $10,000 each year for
the four year period. Mrs. Livesay suggested an average of $10,000 over the four year period and
maintaining an annual increase.
Mr. Culligan stated that he feels this amendment is aimed at the working person and the only way
this would work, a lot of things would have to change because working people cannot attend committee
and other meetings that are scheduled during the work day. Mrs. Livesay stated that she disagreed with
this statement because she feels meeting times are scheduled to meet the needs of committee members.
Mr. Lerner stated that he feels the point trying to be made by Mr. Shurtleff is that there are several people
in the community who would make very good Board members but cannot afford to maintain a full-time
job and serve on the Board. By having a reasonable Board salary, combined with income from a part-
time job, an individual may be less burdened financially which would allow them to serve.
Mr. Stein stated that he sees the difference between the original proposal and the amendment
totaling $2,800 for four years for each Board member. He stated that although he believes the issue is
valid, an increase of this amount would not make a difference.
Mr. Culligan and Mr. Evans cautioned against increasing Board salaries too much because the
current CSEA contract will expire at the end of the year and it may send a message to employees that
would make negotiations more difficult in the Fall. Mr. Evans stated that he does not feel the argument
that the increase proposed in the amendment will make a difference in attracting the public is valid
because it is only a slight increase.
Mr. Joseph stated that the issue of getting paid for time spent working on Board activities is very
important to him. He stated that he quit a half-time position in order to take on the responsibilities
associated with serving and relies on being compensated with at least a half-time salary.
Mr. Todd stated that he looks at this job as public service and thinks that to attract a larger group of
candidates, committee and other meetings will have to be held in the evening as they were in the past.
Mr. Todd stated that this Board has to set an example of prudence for Tompkins County Government and
taxpayers.
It was Moved by Mr. Todd, seconded by Mr. Winch, to amend the amendment by substituting the
following salaries, and leaving in place the Chairman receiving a salary of 1.5 percent above Board
members:
RESOLVED, on minority recommendation of the Fiscal Affairs Committee, That the annual salary
for the members of the Board of Representatives is hereby established as follows:
Effective January 1, 1994 $ 8,450
Effective January 1, 1995 8,600
Effective January 1, 1996 8,750
138
May 18, 1993
Effective January 1, 1997 8,900
Mr. Proto stated that there is something to be said for being paid what is fair and sees a different
perception amongst Board members. However, he does not think that the dollar amount that is being
disputed will make a difference.
Mrs. Call stated that the Board should consider the perception the public will have if the salary
increases by a large percentage. She expressed caution due to it soon being negotiation time and also
referred the cost of living increase that will be built into the Fiscal Plan and will govern the budget
increases.
A roll call vote on the amendment to the amendment resulted as follows: Ayes - 5
(Representatives Culligan, Evans, Proto, Todd and Winch), Noes - 10 (Representatives Call, Joseph,
Lerner, Livesay, Mason, Mink, Schuler, Shurtleff, Stein and Watros). Motion Lost.

recently has been diagnosed with Sick Building Syndrome. He stated that he feels that relocating
employees to different areas in the building does not take care of the problem. He stated that he believes
the building is causing him to be very sick and that it is a very serious situation which he hopes will be
taken care of immediately.
Under privilege of the floor, Yvonne Bartlett, Depai lment of Social Services employee, spoke
concerning the Sick Building Syndrome. Ms. Bartlett stated that she has heard there is a proposal to take
all the workers who suffer from Sick Building Syndrome and put them in a separate room and do only
paperwork. She stated that she is opposed to any idea that does not allow the workers to interview clients
as she was trained to do. Ms. Bartlett stated that she does not feel all necessary steps are being taken.
Under privilege of the floor, Duane Bonowitz, spoke in support of the resolution on the agenda
entitled Urging New York State Government to Consider Alternatives to Land Disposal of Low Level
Radioactive Wastes. Mr. Bonowitz spoke concerning pollution and stated that every dump site that has

urged the adoption of this resolution.
Under privilege of the floor, Betty Bonowitz, spoke in support of the resolution on the agenda
entitled Urging New York State Government to Consider Alternatives to Land Disposal of Low Level

Level Radioactive Wastes. Mrs. Bonowitz stated that an informational meeting will be held at the
Cortland County Office Building on June 3 to discuss this issue.
Under privilege of the floor, Dooley Kiefer, 629 Highland Road, Ithaca, spoke concerning the
resolution on the agenda entitled Urging New York State Government to Consider Alternatives to Land
Disposal of Low Level Radioactive Wastes. Ms. Kiefer stated that she feels New York State should
segregate waste by hazardous life and any monitored retrievable storage makes sense for at least the next
twenty years as some redefining of low level radioactive waste may be redefined as high level. Ms.
Kiefer stated that she supports this resolution and urged its adoption.
Under privilege of the floor, Joel Rabinowitz, Elm Street, Groton, stated he is sympathetic to those
who spoke concerning Sick Building Syndrome. He spoke in support of the resolution on the agenda
entitled Urging New York State Government to Consider Alternatives to Land Disposal of Low Level
Radioactive Wastes. Mr. Rabinowitz stated he feels this is relevant to Tompkins County because of the
following reasons: self interest, it is a State issue of great significance, this is a rural issue which focuses
on rural upstate New York areas, the possibility exists that a federalized disposal site could be made into a
centralized low level radioactive waste site and this is a regional issue.

resolution on the agenda entitled Urging New York State Government to Consider Alternatives to Land

federalized.
Under privilege of the floor, Rebecca Vallely, Groton, stated that she would like to receive a
breakdown of recycling costs for Tompkins County.
Under privilege of the floor, Mrs. Livesay, Intergovernmental Representative, introduced Denise
Cotie Hopkins, Cortland County. Mrs. Livesay commended Cortland County for creating within their
Planning Department an office and staff whose job it has been to gather and disseminate information on
the complicated and little understood subject of low level radioactive waste.
Ms. Hopkins expressed her support for the passage of the resolution on the agenda entitled Urging
New York State Government to Consider Alternatives to Land Disposal of Low Level Radioactive
Wastes and stated that she is impressed by Tompkins County residents being so well informed on this
issue. She stated that Cortland County has tried to make it known that this is an issue which affects
everyone and through studies in Cortland County they have come to learn of radioactive uses in medial
and research applications. They have also studied the role the nuclear power companies play in the
generation of the waste. She stated that there will be much activity on this issue at the State Legislative
session before the end of July. She said the resolution proposed by Tompkins County will go to other
counties such as Erie, Cattaraugus, Allegheny, Cortland and the City of Buffalo and that Tompkins
County is not alone in this issue. One possible solution to the problem could be storage at point of
generation. Ms. Cotie Hopkins described the storage process for low level and high-level radioactive
waste and how the disposal process is handled. She said that if the on-site storage proposal was chosen it
could help our medical and academic generators from being thrown into a crisis.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Lerner, Chairman, Solid Waste and Resource Management
Committee, responded to Ms. Vallely's request for information on the breakdown of recycling costs. Mr.
Lerner stated that this is being worked on and should be available by the June 29 Special Board meeting.
Under privilege of the floor, Ms. Mink, Chair, Human Services Committee, responded to
comments made under privilege of the floor pertaining to the Sick Building Syndrome situation at the
Department of Social Services. She stated that a packet of information was sent to Ms. Bartlett today
which answers most of the questions she had asked for. Ms. Mink stated that she attended a Task Force
meeting on this issue on May 17 and it seemed clear to her that positive steps were being taken to break
down the questions that were raised including the writing of a physician's note to get the proprietary
information on the carpets, glues, etc. She stated from her point of view the Human Services Committee
and the Board of Representatives are well aware of the situation and are doing their best to oversee a
rapid conclusion to this situation.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Winch, Representative, District No. 8, expressed his appreciation
to Denise Cotie Hopkins for educating the people of New York State on the issue of radioactive waste.
Mr. Winch also stated that he feels this should be a business expense and generators should take care of
their of own waste.

RESOLUTION NO. 151 - URGING NEW YORK STATE GOVERNMENT TO CONSIDER
ALTERNATIVES TO LAND DISPOSAL OF LOW LEVEL
RADIOACTIVE WASTES
Moved by Mrs. Livesay, seconded by Mrs. Schuler, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by
members present.
WHEREAS, no state in the nation has licensed and opened a centralized disposal facility for low-
level radioactive waste (LLRW) since the 1985 Low Level Radioactive Waste Policy Amendments Act of
the federal government was passed, and
WHEREAS, the "take title" provisions of said Act were found to be unconstitutional by the U.S.
Supreme Court when challenged by New York State and the states thus were relieved of the onerous
command of the "shall be responsible" provisions, and
WHEREAS, in 1989 the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment found that LLRW
volumes had declined by half since 1980, and were predicted to decline by half again by 1993, and
although a dozen LLRW disposal facilities were slated for development, a reduced number of facilities
could easily handle the nation's LLRW, and
WHEREAS, a LLRW disposal facility in New York State risks becoming federalized as a national
repository for other states and the federal government if it is the first state to open such a facility, and
WHEREAS, the NYS LLRW Siting Commission on May 11, 1993, declared by resolution that
there are no preferred sites at this time for locating a facility in New York State and will recommence site
selection once a disposal method is chosen, which means potential sites may be found in any county
including Tompkins, and
WHEREAS, 98 percent of the LLRW that would be placed in a centralized disposal facility over
the 30 to 60 year projected life of a facility when measured by radioactivity will be produced by nuclear
electric generating facilities, and
WHEREAS, medical and academic institutions generating LLRW will produce less than one
percent of the waste over the projected life of the facility when measured by radioactivity, and
WHEREAS, aboveground, monitored, retrievable storage is the preferred management method for
LLRW since no technology for land burial that can effectively isolate LLRW over its entire hazardous life
has been successfully implemented, and
146
June 1, 1993
WHEREAS, a draft report dated April 28, 1993, of the study conducted by New York State Energy
Research Development Authority (NYSERDA) on the ability of New York's generators to store their own
waste on-site has found that of the six nuclear electric generating facilities, five have the capability of
storing wastes produced over the next twenty years or more and the sixth, ten years or more, now
therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the Tompkins County Board of Representatives urges the State of New York to
consider alternatives to the development of a large-scale centralized low-level radioactive waste disposal
facility for the disposal of all LLRW; that storage at the point of generation by the nuclear electric
generating facilities is the most sensible means of managing their low-level radioactive waste at this time;
that waste generated by hospitals, research centers, universities and similar institutions should be stored
on-site for decay to the maximum extent possible and that only for such generators with inadequate
storage space who have already implemented waste reduction and segregation practices, the State should
develop space at a State-owned and operated nuclear electric generating facility for aboveground,
monitored, waste -retrievable storage,
RESOLVED, further, That this Board supports State legislation that incorporates each of the
foregoing components,
RESOLVED, further, That copies of this resolution be sent to Assemblyman Luster, Senators
Seward and Kuhl, Governor Cuomo, New York State Supervisors and County Legislators Association
and the New York State Association of Counties.

RESOLUTION NO. 130 - SALARY ADJUSTMENT - SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
Moved by Mr. Evans, seconded by Mrs. Livesay. Mr. Lerner stated that he has concerns with this
resolution because it is his understanding that the employee affected by this is not a member of the
Deputy Sheriffs' Association and that the Memorandum of Understanding does not apply. He also
expressed concern that this goes directly against the Reclassification/Pay Equity Study this Board
conducted approximately two years ago. The Study assigned points to identified factors in job
descriptions of which supervision was one of the largest factors taken into account. One of the primary
focuses of the Study was to eliminate possible gender and racial bias in the County's classification system.
It is his opinion that to take a particular job which is traditionally a male job and pay it more than the
reclassification system takes away from the avoidance of bias that the County spent endless time and
money in order to eliminate. Mr. Heyman, County Administrator, stated that while the Memorandum of
Understanding with the Deputy Sheriffs' Association does not apply to this position, and while he does
not disagree with comments made by Mr. Lerner, but if there are going to be cases of supervisors making
substantially less than those they supervise, a systematic approach needs to be taken. Mr. Evans stated
that he feels this resolution should be adopted and that the issue should be discussed at the next
negotiation session with the Deputy Sheriffs' Association. Vice Chairman Mason granted Mr. Winch's
request to abstain from voting on this resolution due to a family conflict.
A roll call vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 11, Noes - 2 (Representatives Lerner and Mink),

manner that is environmentally sound, cost-effective, socially responsible and safe. Mr. Lerner expressed
his thanks to Mrs. Eckstrom, Solid Waste Manager, and other staff for their work on this project. He
stated that figures in his report reflect preliminary 1994 budget figures, which has not yet been reviewed
by the Solid Waste Manager, County Administrator, or the Solid Waste and Resource Management
Committee. Mr. Lerner reviewed the following areas of expense to the County in his presentation:
Disposal
Purpose - to provide for the transfer and disposal of waste from the Hillview Interim Transfer
Station and enforcement of local laws governing disposal and recycling activities. Major activities
include transfer, transportation, disposal, law enforcement and public information.
Recycling

The preliminary 1994 budget outlined in the report for the Solid Waste Division also includes
revenues from license and permit fees, sale of Recyclables, sale of Bins, compost Fees and NYSERDA
Grants.
Mr. Lerner stated that the expense outlined in the chart reflects that of the interim Hillview Road
composting operations but mentioned that staff is working on developing a full scale composting facility
which would take restaurant and supermarket food waste and possible other compost materials.
Mr. Stein asked what the impact on the budget would be when the Recycling and Solid Waste
Center is on-line? Mr. Lerner stated that it is expected that revenues will be increased for the recycling
program as the amount of waste transfer, handling and transportation of waste will be reduced as well as
the tonnage of reyclables are expected to increase. Mr. Lerner stated the cost benefit of building the
Recycling and Solid Waste Center will be discussed at the special Board meeting on June 29.
Following a brief discussion, Mr. Lerner concluded his presentation stating that answers to several

frustration for his clients who are out of work and are not receiving any compensation. He stated that to

these people. He also stated that he feels the County, as an employer, has a responsibility to its
employees to provide a safe working environment.
Under privilege of the floor, Yvonne Bartlett, Depaitment of Social Services employee, spoke
concerning sick building syndrome. Ms. Bartlett displayed a bag containing several medications which
she states she is currently taking. Ms. Bartlett stated that she has permanent damage as a result of

Under privilege of the floor, James Ellis, Department of Social Services employee, spoke
concerning sick building syndrome. Mr. Ellis submitted a request to waive the 25 cent per copy fee that
has been requested for copies of committee and Board minutes. Mr. Ellis expressed his disagreement
with an article in the Ithaca Journal in which Representative Mink was quoted in which she stated that it
was standard procedure to strip floors and paint rooms when people are moved. Mr. Ellis requested the
Board to expedite any request that is made to resolve this issue and to work with the employees so that
they may return to work.
Under privilege of the floor, Mel Bartlett, husband of Yvonne Bartlett who is a Depailnient of
Social Services employee, stated that he feels the situation at the Biggs complex is being handled poorly.

comments concerning the striping of floors and painting of rooms were made on information she had been
155
June 15, 1993
given. She stated that it is important to recognize there are two separate issues that need to be addressed:
building safety and specific problems of the workers. She stated that her immediate concern is that steps
are being taken to make the Biggs building a safe building. Ms. Dolan, Commissioner of Social Services,
updated the Board on the status of bringing employees back to work. She stated that bringing these
people back to work require the employees, counsel, physicians, the County Attorney and the Personnel
Commissioner to work together to find a location in the building or a location in another building that
would meet the requirements of the employees. She stated that she hopes to enter into the necessary
discussions with the employees, their counsel and physicians soon so that these people may return to
work. Commissioner Dolan addressed the resolution being added to the agenda entitled Creation of
Positions - Department of Social Services and stated that the Department is not processing cases
according to the required timelines and, therefore, additional staff is needed to handle the backlog of
work. The proposed positions do not affect the status of the positions of those out of work. Mr. Heyman,
County Administrator, stated that the requests for information by Ms. Bartlett have been voluminous.

156

reaction and feedback from local officials.
Mrs. Call, Chairman, Budget and Administration Committee, reported that the Committee met on
June 9 and set a tentative budget schedule. She stated that Representative Shurtleff proposed an
exemption for the Annual Fee for those with an income lower than $5,200 and stated that while the
concept is interesting, the process is too far along to implement this exemption in 1993. Mrs. Call stated
that the Annual Fee Appeals Board has been very active and are doing a very good job. She reported that

WHEREAS, this Board of Representatives adopted and later amended a Fiscal Plan for Tompkins
County government for 1992 and 1993, and wishes to amend and clarify said Plan and extend it to cover
1993 and 1994, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Fiscal Affairs and Budget and Administration
Committees, That the following Fiscal Plan for Tompkins County government is hereby adopted to be in
effect from the date of adoption to December 31, 1994,
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
The purpose of this Plan is to maintain a sound and stable fiscal position for County government,
to address the problems created by unfunded or under -funded mandates, and to restrain net local spending
while minimizing negative impacts on services wanted and needed by the residents of Tompkins County.
1. FUND BALANCE STABILITY
Definition: An unrestricted Fund Balance consists of any funds in the possession of a
governmental body which have not been appropriated (approved for spending) or reserved for any
purpose. Existence of an unrestricted Fund Balance enables municipalities to respond to unforeseen
negative events and to "level out" the impact of those events on taxpayers, service delivery recipients and
employees.
For purposes of this resolution, the following are not included in the unrestricted Fund Balance:
Retirement Reserves; Construction Funds; Health Premium Reserve; and the Self -Insurance Reserve.
Target: The target unrestricted Fund Balance for Tompkins County government is established by
this Fiscal Plan to be 5 percent of total annual expenditures, net of Interfund expenditures and
construction expenditures paid with borrowed funds. The unrestricted Fund Balance includes all County
Fund Balances except the Airport Fund. (The Airport Fund is maintained, in compliance with Federal
Aviation Administration regulations, only for Airport contingencies.)
The County Comptroller is charged with monitoring expenditures and revenues throughout County
government and with reporting to the Budget and Administration Committee and the County
Administrator during May, July and monthly thereafter with respect to any projected shortfalls or
surpluses at year-end. The County Administrator shall recommend to the Budget and Administration
Committee appropriate action based on this report.
165
June 15, 1993
2. UNFUNDED AND UNDERFUNDED MANDATES
Net local expenditures for Education of Handicapped Children; Legal Defense of Indigents
(payments to attorneys only); Social Services; Jail personal services, fringe benefit and professional
services costs; and costs of County students attending other community colleges shall be calculated
separately from the remainder of the County budget and shall be fully described and explained to the
public at least yearly. These strict legal mandates, imposed in every case by the federal government,
state government, the courts, or all three, shall not be included in spending targets in #3 below.
Education of Handicapped Children: This Board and the appropriate
committee shall monitor the work authorized during 1992 to occur in 1993
in the Public Health and Social Services Depaitments aimed at increasing
the number of handicapped children in the least restrictive environment,
to their benefit and with the result of reducing costs. These two
departments are charged with reporting at least quarterly to the Health
and Education Committee on the status of this initiative.
Jail Operations: In its actions in connection with the 1993 budget in
the Probation Department, this Board demonstrated its commitment to
reducing the population of the Tompkins County Jail without unreasonably
endangering the safety of this community. This Board directs the Public
Safety Committee and the County Administrator to consult with the Sheriff
of Tompkins County to develop recommendations that will ensure that the
boarding out of prisoners to other counties is kept to an absolute
minimum, that the transport of imprisoned persons to New York State
Psychiatric Hospitals is reviewed carefully for medical appropriateness,
and that the opportunities for boarding in of prisoners from other
counties are maximized. In addition the Public Safety Committee is
charged with continuing to work with the Criminal Justice
Advisory/Alternatives to Incarceration Board to develop alternatives to
the use of the Tompkins County Jail that are appropriate.
Legal Defense of Indigents: Upon receipt of a recommendation from the
Article 18 Task Force established in 1992 by this Board, this Board shall
authorize any changes in the current method of ensuring the provision of
effective counsel to indigent persons in criminal and family matters. By
this resolution this Board directs that a charge be developed to the
oversight body established or continued as a result of the above action
to pay serious attention to this Board's desire to ensure that reasonable
steps are taken that will prevent the assignment of attorneys to persons
who are not indigent, that will maximize appropriate co -payments by
defended persons, and that will ensure that payments to attorneys are
accurate and appropriate.
Social Services: This Board continues its support of initiatives
undertaken by the New York State Association of Counties to reform the
provision of social services and the proposal of the Governor of the State
of New York, supported by the New York State Association of Counties,
that the State of New York accept all fiscal responsibility for
provision of medical assistance to indigent persons, until that is done,
the Public Health Department shall emphasize preventive health care
programs that improve public health and reduce County Medicaid costs.
Community College Chargebacks: The cost to Tompkins County for Tompkins
166
June 15, 1993
County students to attend community colleges in other New York State
counties must by law be paid to the college that the student attends.
The County encourages Tompkins Cortland Community College to continue to
exercise its best efforts to minimize these chargebacks by attracting as
many Tompkins County and other students to the Community College as
possible.
3. STABILIZATION OF NET LOCAL SPENDING
A. All expenditures and revenues in the remainder of the Tompkins County budget shall be
divided into the categories of community services, education, general government support, health, human
services, public safety, public works (includes solid waste) and capital. The last shall include debt
service.
B. The Target Net Local Share for 1993 for all of the above -listed areas of the County budget
shall be considered to be the figure indicated on a document prepared by the Deputy County
Administrator entitled 1993/1994 Fiscal Plan Target Net Local Share Calculation and dated April 23,
1993.
Clarification: "Net Local Share" as used in this resolution means total spending authority of each
department or account as listed in the above- referenced document prepared by the Deputy County
Administrator, after applicable departmental revenues and pro rata share of unallocated revenues have
been subtracted. A result of this is that if total estimated unallocated revenues in 1994 increase, the Net
Local Share for all County spending will increase by that amount. In the event that estimated proceeds of
unallocated revenues decrease, the Net Local Share for all County spending will decrease by that amount.
See, in addition, the provisions of #4 below which will have the effect of reducing target net local
shares of depai tiiients and agencies when so specified by the Board of Representatives.
C. During the preparation of the 1994 budget, net local share for the eight (8) categories of the
County budget listed above shall not increase in the recommendations of the County Administrator nor
the budget review committees of this Board by a percentage rate greater than the rate of inflation
according to the figures available in July 1993 from the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, all
Urban Wage Earners Index, for the most recent available (12) month period.
D. Program committees of this Board are authorized to approve two-year (1993 and 1994)
spending plans that meet the overall requirements of this resolution and of the 1992 Fiscal Plan.
E. The Net Local Share established for Tompkins Cortland Community College under this
resolution shall refer to the total sponsor share appropriated by Tompkins and Cortland Counties together.
For example, if the rate of inflation defined above is determined in July 1993 to be 3 percent, and the net
impact of unallocated revenues does not increase or decrease the net local share for the Community
College (total Tompkins and Cortland appropriation of new money) would increase at 3 percent above the
College's previous year budget. In the event that the Tompkins County share of student enrollments at the
College increased or decreased from the previous year's level, however, the Tompkins County target
would be increased or decreased by the dollar amount resulting from that shift.
4. CONTINGENT FUND
It is the intention of this resolution that departments and agencies must accommodate unexpected
expenditures with their own previously appropriated funds. This Board will not entertain favorably
requests for Contingent Fund appropriations except in the most extreme circumstances.
Departments may request Contingent Fund appropriations for expenditures from personal services
and fringe benefit accounts for terminal pay and replacement staff costs that, during a fiscal year, exceed
25 percent of the department's 1992 budget reduction obligation.
167
June 15, 1993
Whenever there occurs a request, recommendation, or action appropriating funds from the
Contingent Fund or from any Fund Balance, it must be specified whether the appropriation increases the
target net local share of the department or agency receiving the funds, and whether any increase in the
*target net local share increases the overall target for County government as a whole, or whether, in the
alternative, these funds will be subtracted pro rata from the target net local share for all depai tnients and
agencies for the ensuing fiscal year.
Whenever there is a request, recommendation or action in connection with the budget that results
in net local spending in excess of the targets in this Fiscal Plan, the party requesting, recommending or
acting, must specify in writing the source of funds to pay for said spending.
5. RE -APPROPRIATION OF UNSPENT FUNDS FROM PREVIOUS YEAR'S RESOLUTION
Resolution No. 339 of 1992, outlining a procedure for re -appropriation of unspent funds from
previous years, is reaffirmed in its entirety.
RESOLVED, further, That in any instance when a request is made for funding in excess of the
guidelines in this Plan, the request shall provide information that specifically addresses each of the
following:
a) The strength of public support for addressing the particular need;
b) Appropriateness of County government involvement in addressing the need, and the desirability
of addressing the need through the use of public or private resources;
c) Severity of the need for the service;
d) Probability of success of meeting the need based on the management strength and approach of
the provider department or agency;
e) An inventory of other existing public and private services available to meet the need to
determine the extent of unmet needs and the mix of prevention, intervention, remediation, and regulatory
services needed;
f) Number, dispersion, and demographic characteristics of those experiencing the need, and
g) Potential impact of the program on the budgets of other County depai tments.

station didn't want to offend the insurance industry or risk their advertisers. He stated that the he feels
the debate over a national health plan is not only being dominated by special interests but being censored
by them as well.
It was Moved by Mr. Lerner, seconded by Mr. Evans, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by
members present, to add to the agenda the resolution entitled Charging the Ad Hoc Committee on Solid
Waste Finance with Developing Alternative Financing Options.

SEQR ACTION: EXEMPT OR TYPE II
(NO FURTHER ACTION NECESSARY)
At this point in the meeting, Mr. Stein stated that the remainder of the meeting would focus on
solid waste issues and asked to Mr. Lerner, Chairman, Solid Waste and Resource Management
Committee to lead the discussion.
RESOLUTION NO. 183 - ADOPTION OF LOCAL LAW NO. 3 OF 1993 - REPEALING LOCAL
LAW NO. 10 OF 1990 AND REVISING AND UPDATING THE TAG
SYSTEM FOR THE COLLECTION OF SOLID WASTE
Moved by Mr. Lerner, seconded by Mr. Todd. Mr. Lerner stated that on March 30, 1993 the
Board adopted a resolution calling for a five -point plan for better regulations on private trash haulers. He
stated that this Local Law differs from the existing Trash Tag Law because it will require the haulers to
make single trash tags available to customers and at the end of the year haulers will be required to offer
refunds for expired tags within 90 days of expiration date of the tag. The Law also requires for the
hauler's tag to stipulate the County and the haulers cost. He stated that the original Law was adopted
prior to the Flow Control Local Law and the proposed Law will be consistent with the Flow Control
Law. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 10, Noes - 1 (Representative Proto), Excused - 4
(Representatives Call, Mason, Shurtleff and Watros). Adopted.
WHEREAS, a public hearing has been held before the Board of Representatives on June 29, 1993
to hear all person interested in proposed Local Law No. 3 of 1993, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Solid Waste and Resource Management Committee, That
said proposed Local Law No. 3 of 1993 repealing Local Law No. 10 of 1990 and revising and updating
the Tag System for the collection of solid waste be and hereby is adopted,
RESOLVED, further, That the Clerk of the Board publish in the official newspaper of Tompkins
County a notice of adoption containing a synopsis of said Local Law, and shall within five (5) days file
one certified copy in the office of the County Clerk and three (3) certified copies in the office of the
Secretary of State.
SEQR ACTION: EXEMPT OR TYPE II
(NO FURTHER ACTION NECESSARY)
Mr. Lerner introduced the Flow Control Recommendation Report. He referred to problems that
occurred last year with commercial trash haulers taking trash out of the County which resulted in the
County's Solid Waste Division not receiving anticipated revenues of approximately one million dollars.
The Board voted on March 30 for the Solid Waste Manager and the County Attorney's office to prepare
recommendations on how to improve the enforcement of the Flow Control Law. Mr. Lerner reviewed the
following recommendations:
1, Hauler License and Revocation/Suspension: The report states that the licensing
revocation/suspension section (Section 8) of Local Law No. 3 of 1992 (Flow Control Law) contains
ambiguities regarding when a license can be revoked or suspended. Section 8 does not make it clear that
a violation of the Flow Control Law is sufficient reason to suspend or revoke a license. The Law should
be amended to give the County Solid Waste Division the authority to suspend a license immediately
when a violation occurs and prior to conducting
175
June 29, 1993
a hearing. The threat of revoking a hauler's license is a better deterrent than issuing appearance tickets.
By taking this action, the County will be closing an existing loophole. Mr. Todd stated that he feels the
County should act quickly because there is potential for abuse and said he thinks haulers should be
assured that if their license is suspended they will get a hearing.
2. Add an Additional Part-time Enforcement Staff Position: There has not been enough staff time
to follow-up on complaints about possible Flow Control violations. The Solid Waste Division looked
into contracting with the Sheriffs Department, contracting with a private investigator and expanding staff
in the Solid Waste Division. Mr. Lerner stated that it was found that the most inexpensive and cost
effective way would be the hiring of a half-time position at an annual cost of $12,000. Mr. Proto asked
how creating another position in the Solid Waste Division would fit into the County's Fiscal Plan for
1994. Mr. Lerner stated that the Fiscal Plan only applies to programs in departments that are funded with
unallocated revenues from property or sales tax. Mr. Proto stated that it is important for the public to
know that these are not tax generated dollars. Mr. Proto referred to when the Sheriffs Department
handled illegal dumping and asked what the cost difference would be when handled through the Solid
Waste Division. Mr. Lerner stated that the salary for a Solid Waste Assistant is substantially less than
that of a Sheriffs Deputy but can do the very same job in terms of enforcing flow control.
3. Disposal Time Limits: this would impose a time limit of 72 hours from the time trash is picked
up and delivered to the transfer facility. This would assist investigative staff in tracking down violators
of the Flow Control Law. Mr. Proto asked if this had been discussed with the haulers. Mrs. Eckstrom
stated that it had been preliminarily discussed with them and that she felt that 72 hours was a sufficient
time. Mr. Stein suggested separating the issue of should there be a time limit and what that time limit
should be. Mr. Lerner stated that this is an area that needs further discussion and will be researched more
before the Board votes on a revised law. Mr. Winch stated that if a time limit were imposed, he would
hope the law would allow provisions for mechanical breakdowns. It was the consensus of the Board that
a time limit should be pursued.
4. Enforcement Designee: This gives the Solid Waste Division the authority to issue appearance
tickets to violators of the Flow Control Law.
5. Federal Constitutional Issues: The Assistant County Attorney should follow federal
constitutional issues related to flow control and advise the Board accordingly when the County's Flow
Control law is affected.
At this point in the meeting, Mr. Lerner reviewed with the Board the proposed Transfer Facility
Payment Plan. He stated that there have been problems with delinquent accounts, unpaid bills and
inconvenient payment methods. The proposed plan will reduce the County's financial risk substantially
and streamline County accounting practices and provide the required financial security. The following
steps are recommended by the Solid Waste and Resource Management Committee:
1. Accepting credit cards at the transfer station for fees up to $1,000. This will simplify most
transactions and reduce the large sums of cash handled at the transfer station. Mr. Lerner stated that the
Solid Waste Division will be working with the State Comptroller's office on this.
2. Continue the present prepayment coupon system and implement a punch card prepayment
system. Punch cards would be sold by fixed dollar denomination amounts and change could be paid/or
returned as cash at the gate.
3. Extend credit privileges only to accounts that have average monthly charges of more than
$1,000. Accounts which do not prepay would be required to guarantee payment by providing a bond
equal to two months billings. Municipalities would not be required to guarantee payment provided their
accounts are maintained on a current basis.
176
June 29, 1993
Mr. Lerner stated that in the past there have been some problems with how the County tracked
accounts at the Transfer Station. He said current billing procedures are cumbersome and require manual
verification of account billings to facility user's permit numbers and that no easy access to account
history is maintained. He introduced the Report entitled Tompkins County Transfer Station Billing
Procedures and System Software Recommendation Report. The recommendations of the report are as
follows:
1. Software: The County should purchase accounting software during the interim period until the
Recycling and Solid Waste Center is on line. The estimated cost to upgrade the accounting software in
1993 would be approximately $600.
2. Billing and Accounting Procedures: The billing and accounting responsibility should be
transferred to the Solid Waste Division in 1994. This will enhance and streamline the billing process and
be less expensive for the County. The Comptroller would retain responsibility for auditing and
confirmation of accurate procedures. Mr. Lerner stated that at this time the Solid Waste Division is
paying the salary for a Sr. Account Clerk in the Comptroller's office. Mr. Culligan stated that it is
important that both the Comptroller's office and the Solid Waste office know what is going on and feels
there should be a guide for person who will be handling these accounts to alert the Comptroller's office of
any problems.
Mr. Lerner stated that included with the agenda is an update on the status of negotiations on the
Tompkins County Recycling and Solid Waste Center with New England CR Inc. He stated that the
information has been carefully put together so that it can be released and discussed in public session. He
stated that the original Request for Proposals for the Recycling and Solid Waste Center called for a
public convenience area designed to accommodate 100 cars a day. He stated that the volumes of traffic
at the Willow Avenue facility have gone way above 100 cars a day. He stated that the County has asked
CR Inc. to redesign the public area to accommodate 400 cars a day.
Mr. Evans stated that discussed in the Solid Waste and Resource Management Committee was the
possibility that the when the County goes to full curbside collection of recycling that the rural drop-off
centers will be closed in the rural areas. Mr. Evans asked how this would affect the Recycling and Solid
Waste Center. Mr. Lerner stated that drop-off centers would be closed only if all things taken there could
be picked up at the curbside so the average homeowner would not need to go to a drop-off center. For
those with larger volumes i.e. small business, they would go to the hauler base at the Recycling and Solid
Waste Center rather than the public convenience area.
It was the consensus of the Board to negotiate for the larger public convenience area. Mr. Proto
stated that he wanted reassurance that a decision to close the rural drop-off centers has not been made at
this point. Mr. Lerner stated that this subject has not had a full Committee discussion at this point and
that no decision has been made at this time to close these centers.
3. Future Billings at the Recycling and Solid Waste Center: There are several criteria that will
guide the selection for billing procedures at the Recycling and Solid Waste Center including integrated
accounts, user customizing, flexible data handling and report generation, access to system from remote
location and multi-level security.
Mr. Lerner stated that the Neighborhood Advisory Committee for the Commercial Avenue Central
Processing Facility has forcefully recommended that there be a public observation area at the Facility for
school children, interested tourists or members of the public. This would be an educational tool so that
work being done at the facility could be seen by the public and could also be used as a means for the
public to scrutinize the facility. He stated that this would increase the overall price of the Facility by
more than $150,000 but less than $200,000. Mr. Lerner asked for the Boards' guidance on this.
177
June 29, 1993
There was discussion on the cost of this including the high cost of installing an elevator and
possible ways to reduce the cost. Mr. Proto asked that if the Board decided not to move forward with the
observation area at this time what the cost would be of adding it at a later date. Mrs. Eckstrom, Solid
Waste Manager, stated that it would be difficult and much more costly at a later time. Mr. Lerner
suggested that at this time have the contract include the observation area with the following stipulations:
That in the next two weeks the Committee look into ways to bring the cost down and allow to have the
observation area removed from the contract easily if the Board so decided. Mrs. Livesay and Mr. Winch
stated that they feel the use of the area as an educational tool would be a benefit. Mr. Todd stated that as
Liaison to the Neighborhood Advisory Committee for the Commercial Avenue Central Processing
Facility, he believes this item is important to them and plans to support it. Mr. Joseph stated that he
believes in the points made on this issue but is concerned with other programs in the County that need
additional funding. Mr. Stein stated that if this is going to be done, it should be done in a way that is safe
and attractive and will get a lot of use. It was the consensus of the Board to move forward and to look
into this much more carefully.
Mr. Lerner presented the preliminary Solid Waste budget for 1994 with slight revisions to the one
presented at the June 1, 1993 Board meeting. He also presented a chart on Solid Waste Capital Projects
and Debt Service. Mr. Lerner cautioned members against using earlier inaccurate drafts of this report
and stated that the report dated June 29, 1993 contains the most current and accurate figures available at
this time.
Mr. Lerner stated that in February Chairman Watros appointed an Ad Hoc Committee on Solid
Waste Finance and reported that although everyone would like to eliminate the Solid Waste Annual Fee
in 1994, it is not clear that it is possible. He stated that if the Board approves a renewed Annual Fee for
1994, he would expect significant improvements to be made in that fee. He stated that the fee could be
improved by the way apai t►nents are handled and stated that negotiations have begun with the Colleges to
insure they pay their fair share. He stated that he would also like to see a better way to handle an annual
fee with low income families. Mr. Lerner stated that he feels that if there is going to be an annual fee, all
of the unfairness cannot be eliminated and the fee shouldn't represent too large of a portion of the Solid
Waste budget. He would prefer to cut the fee in half if it cannot be eliminated in 1994.
RESOLUTION NO. 184 - CHARGING THE AD HOC COMMITTEE ON SOLID WASTE
FINANCE WITH DEVELOPING ALTERNATIVE FINANCING
OPTIONS
Moved by Mr. Lerner, seconded by Mr. Evans. He presented and explained the Table entitled
Solid Waste Financing Options for 1994. He said that if the tipping fee in 1994 is going to be less than
$192 per ton, the difference has to be accounted for. He thinks that a fee for recycling service is an
interesting option but not practical for 1994. The only options for 1994 are the property tax, an annual
fee or a combination of both. There was discussion on the various financing combinations as presented
in the Table.
Mr. Proto asked what the highest level the tipping fee could be. Mr. Lerner stated that the highest
tipping fee that has been suggested has been $120.
Mr. Stein declared recess at 7:47 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 7:51 p.m.
Mr. Lerner stated that the Board should keep in mind that the higher the tipping fee, the greater of
a chance for non-compliance of the Flow Control Law. Mr. Proto stated that he would like a financing
option developed at a relatively higher tipping fee. A voice vote on the resolution resulted as follows:
Ayes - 11, Noes - 0, Excused - 4 (Representatives Call, Mason, Shurtleff and Watros). Adopted.
178
June 29, 1993
WHEREAS, Resolution No. 95 of March 30, 1993 charged the Ad Hoc Committee on Solid Waste
Finance with developing a plan to finance county solid waste services for 1994 and thereafter, with
priority given to the following criteria: Stable, Fair, Protects the Environment, Easy to Implement, Easy
to Enforce and Low in Cost, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Solid Waste Resource Management Committee, That the
Ad Hoc Committee on Solid Waste Finance is further charged with the following by the August 10 Board
meeting:

to paying for all interim composting program costs, plus an appropriate share of management costs.
4. Include appropriate debt service costs across programs appropriately.
5. Distribute management costs across programs appropriately.
6. Recommend a way of funding the balance of each program, choosing from among the tipping
fee, property tax and the annual solid waste fee.
7. Develop alternate plans that include both relatively higher and lower tipping fees.
8. Develop alternate plans that include or exclude property tax as a funding source.
9. Report on projected solid waste budgets through 1998, describing the impact of those
projections on each alternate plan.
SEQR ACTION: EXEMPT OR TYPE II
(NO FURTHER ACTION NECESSARY)
Mr. Todd urged the Board to review the tables and charts presented very carefully. He
commended Mr. Lerner and staff for the time and work they put into these charts.
Mrs. Livesay, Chairman, Solid Waste and Resource Management Sub -Committee on the
Tompkins County Solid Waste Management Plan, reported that revisions to the Plan began three months
ago and involves revising the Plan to conform to policy changes made by this Board. The comments
received from the public last year on the Draft Plan also need to be incorporated. The Depaitnient of
Environmental Conservation (DEC) has also commented on the Plan with what they would like to see
more of or done in a different way with responses being prepared by staff. She stated that the draft of
these responses along with the DEC comments are available in the Board office and asked for comments
on the Plan to be submitted as soon as possible. She stated that the SEQR process on the Plan also needs
to be completed. It is expected that the Plan will receive final approval at the end of December.
Mrs. Livesay, Chairman, Solid Waste and Resource Management Sub -Committee on illegal
dumping and open burning, stated that the committee will be reviewing existing laws, regulations and
codes in order to make recommendations on the Sanitary Code which the Health Depal tment is in the
process of revising now. She stated that an issue has arisen concerning illegal dumping and whether the
investigator should pick up the trash. The Committee will be looking into this. Mrs. Eckstrom, Solid
Waste Manager, reported that there is a video tape on illegal dumping available for viewing.
179
June 29, 1993
Mr. Evans, member, Solid Waste and Resource Management Committee, reported that on March
30 the Board adopted a resolution to abandon the proposed DR -7 landfill site and as a result the Landfill
Neighborhood Protection Committee will be disbanding. He said that there is still some clean-up work
that needs to be done at DR -7 and Ken Thompson, Assistant Solid Waste Manager, will be negotiating
with the DEC on the most economical ways to do this. Mr. Evans stated that included in agenda packets
are bid schedules for the hauling and disposal of solid waste.
Mr. Lerner stated that he is chairing a subcommittee on recycling markets. This committee looks
at ways for the County to encourage support and catalyze the creation or expansion of private sector
businesses to take parts of the solid waste stream in a way that will make a more profitable business for
the private sector. On July 22 at 2 p.m. at the Sheraton Inn there will be presentation from the New
York State Depai tinent of Economic Developments Office of Recycling on how to develop local markets
for recyclables.
Mr. Lerner stated that the Solid Waste Division has been moving forward with developing a full
scale composting facility and more information will follow in the coming months.
Mr. Lerner extended his thanks to staff and advisory committee members for their work on
preparing information for this meeting.

David Squires, Comptroller, introduced Jerry Mickelson of Ciaschi, Dietershagen, Little and
Mickelson. Mr. Mickelson gave the Board a brief update on. the 1992 Financial Audit of Tompkins
County. He stated that the Audit is broken down into various facets, including a financial review and
review of the County's internal accounting structure which covers administrative and fiscal policies over
the areas of purchases, accounts payable, cash disbursements, payroll, revenue and cash receipts, data
181
July 13, 1993
processing functions and other areas. Mr. Mickelson stated that the County has a budget of $62 million
which is to be administered to the operating fund and in addition to that is $12 million in special revenue
funds which are also administered. There is also a debt service of a approximately $6 million. He stated
that the financial implications are that the County must have very adequate systems of controls, checks
and balances. He said they feel the County's system of internal accounting is very adequate and that the
County's compliance with laws and regulations is adequate and is described in the prepared report.
Chairman Watros updated the Board on the current status of indoor air complaints at Biggs A. He
stated that five proposals were presented to those individuals who are currently unable to work that are
intended to allow them to safely return to work. A meeting is scheduled for July 14 for those individuals
and their representatives to discuss these proposals. At a joint meeting of the Public Works and
Construction Management, Human Services, and Health and Education Committees there was a
consensus that a determination be made as quickly as possible about a capital project that would fully
modernize air handling in Biggs A. Mr. Watros stated that all requests for information received prior to
last week have been responded to and additional requests have been received this week and all but one
will be answered within a very short time. A request for time card copies dating back several years will
be provided but may take a little time. He stated that the Employee Safety and Health Coordinator is
expected to be hired and on staff by next week and stated that there is a resolution on the agenda which
authorizes the hiring of Judy Crawford, a Certified Industrial Hygienist, to conduct any testing deemed
advisable. Mr. Watros said that Greg Siwinski's preliminary report has been received and sent to
individuals and their attorneys. There is nothing in the report to which the County has any objection and
expects that County to follow through on all of its recommendations in an expedited way for the benefit
of everyone in the building.
Under privilege of the floor, Herb Engman, Chairman, Environmental Management Council, spoke
concerning the Tompkins County Recycling and Solid Waste Center, stating that among various solid
waste advisory committees there has been support for this facility. He stated that it is seen as an
opportunity to have flexibility in the County's recycling and solid waste disposal plans. He expressed
support for the proposed viewing platform at the Facility and urged the Board to support it as well.
Under privilege of the floor, Barbara Blanchard, City of Ithaca Councilperson, spoke concerning
the proposed contract for the Tompkins County Recycling and Solid Waste Center. She stated that her
• background as a professional Planner has allowed her to work in the solid waste field in a number of
capacities over the past several years. Ms. Blanchard asked that the Board postpone a decision on the
contract for the Tompkins County Recycling and Solid Waste Center until the Supreme Court has
determined whether or not you can control the flow of solid waste to that facility.
Under privilege of the floor, Ernest Bury, Valley Road, Ithaca, spoke concerning the Tompkins
County Reclining and Solid Waste Center and expressed his opinion that recycling is regressive and very
expensive. He stated that there are other investments that would be better for the environment.
Under privilege of the floor, Paul Bennett, Hook Place, Ithaca, and a non-smoker, spoke
concerning the policy of no smoking at the Tompkins County Public Safety Building. He stated that
incarceration is very stressful to individuals and having a no smoking policy at the Public Safety Building
makes inmates more aggressive. Mr. Bennett asked that the Board reconsider the policy and try to
accommodate the inmates in a way that would not be of great cost to the County.
Under privilege of the floor, Ann Rider, Political Action Chairman of the Civil Service Employees
Association, Local 855, spoke concerning the resolution on the agenda entitled Authority to Contract -
Judy Crawford, Certified Industrial Hygienist. Ms. Rider read a letter written by David Chase, CSEA
President, in which it was stated that CSEA does not approve of this resolution and feels the hiring of an

Siwinski.
182
July 13, 1993
Under privilege of the floor, Judith Van Allen, Director of Offender Aid and Restoration (OAR),
spoke concerning smoking in the Tompkins County. Public Safety Building. She stated that the Agency

increased stress and tension and urged the Board to reconsider this policy.
Under privilege of the floor, Coert Bonthius, Tompkins -Cortland Labor Coalition Coordinator,
spoke in support of the resolution on the agenda entitled Urging the Labor Commissioner to Appoint a
Wage Board. Mr. Bonthius stated that the Coalition believes that Tompkins County is severely impacted
by minimum wage jobs and stated that a person who makes minimum wage ($4.25 per hour) is living in
poverty. He stated that a person cannot live on this wage without government assistance.
Under privilege of the floor, Margaret Marks, Department of Social Services employee, spoke
concerning indoor air quality at Biggs A. Ms. Marks stated that Mr. Ellis was very emotional at the June
29, 1993 Board meeting because he has been put under a great amount of stress as a result of the situation
at Biggs A. Ms. Marks stated that it takes 6-18 months for a Social Welfare Examiner to become
proficient at their job and stated that it would serve the County's best interests to return these experienced
workers to their positions.
Under privilege of the floor, Yvonne Bartlett, Department of Social Services employee, spoke
concerning indoor air quality at Biggs A. Mrs. Bartlett stated that she is still out of work and does not
receive any compensation. Mrs. Bartlett stated that she feels there is no plan for the employees who are
out of work to return to their positions.
Under privilege of the floor, Mel Bartlett, husband of Yvonne Bartlett who is a Department of

environment.
Under privilege of the floor, Margaret Kirchgessner, Human Rights Commission employee, spoke
concerning indoor air quality at Biggs A. Mrs. Kirchgessner stated that she has been out of work since
June 23 and said the problem has gone beyond the Department of Social Services. She stated that the

employees needs to improve.
Under privilege of the floor, Barbara Mahoney, Department of Social Services employee, spoke
concerning indoor air quality at Biggs A. She stated that she also suffers from sick building syndrome.
She stressed the urgency for finding a safe workplace for employees.
Under privilege of the floor, Kathy Leinthall, Probation Director, spoke in opposition to the
resolution on the agenda entitled Calling for a Plan to End the Smoking Ban in the Living Areas of the
Tompkins County Jail. Ms. Leinthall stated that ending the smoking ban in the Jail would create several
problems which would include the number of classifications in the Jail. She explained the number of
ways in which these classifications could increase.
Under privilege of the floor, Gordon Stevens, Corrections Administrator, spoke concerning the
resolution on the agenda entitled Calling for a Plan to End the Smoking Ban in the Living Areas of the
183
July 13, 1993
Tompkins County Jail. Mr. Stevens stated that he is responsible for listening to concerns of the inmates
and correction officers and stated that in keeping good faith with them he brought this item to the Board
for consideration.
Dr. Marti, President, Tompkins Cortland Community College, began discussion on the proposed
Master Plan for the College stating that a requirement of the State University of New York asks the
College to prepare a Plan which represents what the needs of the College will be in the near future. He
stated that the Master Plan would accommodate the needs of the College for the next five years. Dr.
Marti stated that the Plan includes several projects but if a project is not contained in the Plan, it cannot be
funded by the State University of New York. However, if a project is contained in the Plan, it does not
have to be funded. He said that the building has been in existence since 1974 and the College has never
asked Tompkins County for Capital dollars, but needs to now because the building is getting older and the
projects larger. For example, the roof on the campus needs to be replaced and classrooms expanded. The
College is looking to the future to see where the College wants to be.
Dr. Marti explained that the College is asking Tompkins County to fund projects which total
$2,166,000. The amount does not have to be paid all at once, it can be accomplished on a project to
project basis or the County could decide to issue a bond. The College would receive a total of $8,689,000
towards the proposed Master Plan when combined with the shares of Cortland County and the State
University of New York. He stated that the first time the College will come to Tompkins County and ask
for money will be in June, 1994 after the State budget has been adopted. Dr. Marti concluded his
presentation by thanking the Board for Tompkins County's past and continued support of the College.
Chairman Watros thanked Dr. Marti for responding to concerns that have been raised relative to
the proposed Master Plan. He stated that he believes it will be received on much better terms than the
original proposal.

Following adoption of the resolutions concerning Tompkins Cortland Community College, Dr.
Marti, President, thanked the Board for the support given by Tompkins County.
Chairman Watros declared recess at 8:00 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 8:08 p.m.
Chairman Watros began discussion by recognizing Mr. Lerner, Chairman of the Solid Waste and
Resource Management Committee and Mr. Winch and Mrs. Livesay as members of the Negotiating Team
for their work in developing and negotiating the proposed contract for the Tompkins County Recycling
and Solid Waste Center.
Chairman Watros stated that a letter to the Board dated July 12, 1993 was received from Mark
Goldfarb, President of the Tompkins County Rental Housing Association. The letter stated that the
Association is concerned about the expenditure of this project and urged the Board to table any decisions
regarding solid waste disposal until other alternatives are explored.
Mr. Lerner stated that it has been a long process to bring the Board to this point and thanked Mrs.
Eckstrom, Solid Waste Manager, Solid Waste Division staff and the Negotiating Team for their work on
this project. He stated that two packets of information have been distributed entitled "Tompkins County
Recycling and Solid Waste Center Project Summary" and "The Purpose and Features of the Tompkins
County Recycling and Solid Waste Center - A Report of the Solid Waste and Resource Management
Committee". Mr. Lerner described the proposal by stating that this is the systematic, business -like, long-
term way to bring down costs of the solid waste program and protect the environment at the same time.
187
July 13, 1993
Mr. Lerner stated that the concept of the Facility is to have one central location that virtually all of
the waste in Tompkins County comes to where it can be sorted, processed, transferred and shipped to the
appropriate destination. This would exclude material going to the interim composting facility. The point
of the Facility is to make the process as simple and efficient as possible. Mr. Lerner explained the
process of waste and recyclables entering and leaving the facility. He stated that the proposed contract to
CR Inc. guarantees the County that at least five percent of the waste material that goes in will go out as
recyclables. It is the responsibility of CR Inc. to remove contaminated waste from the stream before
recyclables are delivered to market.
Mr. Lerner explained solid waste finances, stating that increasingly in the 1990's recyclables are
commodities that are traded on the commodities markets. By teaming up with CR Inc. in a partnership,
Tompkins County will be able to take advantage of CR Inc.'s national and international markets that are
dealing in much vaster quantities and Tompkins County will receive advantages of huge volumes at
wholesale prices. He stated that the 1995 projection is that Tompkins County's cost for disposal will be
approximately $70 per ton and recycling $0-$10 per ton. The total waste stream for Tompkins County
right now is in the neighborhood of 60,000 tons per year. The proposed agreement .with CR Inc., a
money -saver for Tompkins County and an incentive for both CR Inc. and the County to bring the cost
down through maximum recycling.
He stated the proposed Facility is designed to save residents and the government of Tompkins
County money through maximum and aggressive recycling. Mr. Lerner referred to the report entitled
"The Purpose and Features of the Tompkins County Recycling and Solid Waste Center - A Report of the
Solid Waste Resource Management Committee" and explained Table I - Comparison of Annual Solid
Waste and Recycling Budget Projections (1995) which estimates a cost savings with Recycling and Solid
Waste Center in 1995 of $728,389. In addition, reduced transportation costs to transfer station will save
haulers approximately $150,000 annually who can pass the savings on to their customers.
Mr. Lerner updated the Board on the status of Flow Control and the possibility of the Law being
overturned by the Supreme Court. He stated that in the worst case scenario if the Law were overturned,
Tompkins County would have to lower the tipping fee and raise the revenue some place else but there is
no minimum tonnage with the proposed contract with CR Inc. and Tompkins County would not suffer a
significant loss. He feels that Flow Control will be upheld with the Supreme Court siding with
municipalities statewide.

unanimously adopted by voice vote to postpone action on this resolution until action has been taken on
Resolution No. 190.
A lengthy discussion followed concerning the possibility of eliminating rural drop off centers. Mr.
Lerner stated that once that the Facility is operating, it is expected that everything going to the Facility
will be picked up at the curbside. He stated that a decision to close rural drop off centers has not been
made.
At this point in the meeting, Mr. Lerner introduced Mr. Dick Kattar, President of CR Inc. who in
turn introduced members of the CR Inc. team. Mr. Kattar gave a brief overview of his company and its
operations stating that the companies technology is far above others in the world. Mr. Kattar stated that a

RESOLUTION NO. 199 - PAVING AUTHORIZATION (Rescinded by R.235 of 1993)
Moved by Mr. Winch, seconded by Mr. Mason. There was discussion on the current lawsuit
against the State which has jeopardized dedicated CHIPS funding and whether the County should
194
July 13, 1993
continue its paving program this summer. William Mobbs, Public Works Commissioner, updated the
Board on the status of the lawsuit and funding. He stated that neighboring counties are continuing with
paving programs. Mr. Lerner stated there is $800,000 at risk if this funding is not received. Mr. Mobbs
stated that this resolution, if adopted, would authorize the program to commence paving as originally
planned. Mr. Todd stated that the $800,000 may have an impact of adding this to the County's 1994
budget twice, once to pay for the revenue not received in 1993 and again for paving to be done in 1994.
Mr. Mason stated this has come at a very bad time because of the severity of damages to roads
caused by the past winter. He stated that if the resolution is adopted, a message should be sent to
representatives in Albany that the County expects dedicated highway funds to be restored. Mr. Winch
stated that the Board needs to give direction in addressing the State on the impact this is having on
municipalities throughout the State.
It was Moved by Mr. Stein, seconded by Ms. Mink to add the following Resolved: "RESOLVED,
further, That should the current lawsuit result in the loss of $801,000 for CHIPS funds, that the Highway
Division shall cease further operations and return to the Board for guidance." A substitute was offered to
the amendment to replace $801,000 with $400,000. It was Moved by Mr. Lerner to refer this issue to the
Budget and Administration Committee. Motion failed for lack of a second. Following discussion, it was
Moved by Mrs. Call, seconded by Mr. Lerner, to refer this issue to the Budget and Administration and
Public Works and Construction Management Committee. Mr. Stein stated that referring this to a
committee would not stop paving operations. The Public Works Department was approved to do
$800,000 worth of paving in 1993 and unless instructed otherwise, they are authorized to continue. At
this point the motion made by Mrs. Call, seconded by Mr. Lerner, was withdrawn.
Discussion followed concerning the County's infrastructure and the importance in taking care of it.
It was Moved by Mr. Stein, seconded by Mr. Shurtleff, to amend the substituted amendment to read as
follows: "RESOLVED, further, That when the Highway Department has spent a total of $250,000 in
anticipated CHIPS funds, the Highway Division shall cease operations and return to the Board for
Guidance, RESOLVED, further, That this issue be sent to the Public Works and Construction
Management and Budget and Administration Committees for review and to the Board for further action."
Ms. Mink stated that she was not prepared at this time to vote on something that could result in a
property tax increase. Mrs. Livesay stated that she feels the State Legislature has some obligation to
come up with money and more public awareness is needed.
Chairman Watros called the question. Mr. Mason challenged the ruling of the Chairman. A roll
call vote resulted as follows: Ayes 13, Noes - 1 (Representative Lerner). The Chairman does not vote.
The ruling of the Chairman was not sustained.
Mr. Mason stressed the impact the winter has had on County roads and stated that if these roads are
not taken care of it is possible they will not exist next year. Mr. Winch stated that the Depai lment has
already spent $100,000 as authorized by the Public Works and Construction Management Committee. It
was clarified that his amendment would authorize an additional $150,000 to the $100,000 previously
authorized by the Committee.
A roll call vote on the amendment to the substituted amendment resulted as follows: Ayes - 11,
Noes - 4 (Representatives Mason, Proto, Todd and Watros). Amendment Carried.
A roll call vote on the resolution as amended resulted as follows: Ayes - 14, Noes - 1
(Representative Lerner). Adopted.
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Public Works and Construction Management Committee,
That the Highway Division is instructed to continue paving immediately as scheduled.
195
July 13, 1993
RESOLVED, further, That when the Highway Depaitment has spent a total of $250,000 in
anticipated CHIPS funds, the Highway Division shall cease operations and return to the Board for
guidance,

and Budget and Administration Committees for review and to the Board for further Board action.

WHEREAS, smoking is now prohibited in all areas of the Tompkins County Public Safety
Building. Enforcing the smoking ban in the Jail results in additional County expenses. Prisoners found
with tobacco must be prosecuted for possession of jail contraband, resulting in costs for investigation,
prosecution, and in some cases, additional jail time, and
WHEREAS, involuntary withdrawal from smoking is a hardship on the residents of the facility,
many of whom are detained pre-trial and are presumed innocent. Many prisoners become irritable,
aggressive, and in some cases violent, which is a threat to other prisoners and jail staff. Prisoners who are
angry and stressed when they are released from jail are at greater risk of acting violently and committing
crimes in the community, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Public Safety Committee, That the County
Administrator is hereby charged with working in cooperation with the Jail Administrator to develop a
plan to permit smoking in living areas of the Jail. The plan should involve the least possible cost to the
County and should protect the right of non-smokers. The plan shall be provided to the Public Safety
Committee no later than September 2, 1993.

226
September 7, 1993
Mr. Lerner, Chairman, Solid Waste and Resource Management Committee, distributed a packet of
information entitled Outline of Solid Waste Finance Issues. He stated that in his presentation, he would
be explaining what decisions the Solid Waste Finance Committee has reached for financing solid waste
in 1994. Mr. Lerner stated that there have been efforts to cut costs in the Solid Waste Division but there
are severe limits on where the budget can be cut. After all efforts have been made for waste reduction,
composting and recycling, there would still be a budget of almost $7 million. He stated that 90 percent
of the solid waste budget is driven by environmental laws and the State government which the County
has to comply with. There are six major areas of what would be desirable in the finance system:
stability, environmental protection, fairness, easy implementation, easy enforcement and low cost. It is
impossible to have all of these at the same time but the County has to do the best it can. He stated that
alternatives for solid waste finance have both advantages and disadvantages and that the challenge is how
to mix and match them intelligently. He stated that no one likes a property tax increase and it has the
major drawback of not taxing the not-for-profit entities. Mr. Lerner stated the tipping fee is currently set
at $95 per ton. In 1992, the County raised it to $145 per ton which resulted in the problem of flow
control. Finally, the Annual Solid Waste Fee was adopted in an attempt to avoid the not-for-profit
exemption and in an attempt to reduce the cost for the typical homeowner but has produced some
unfairness and also a duplicate administrative process. He believes that in the long run it would be
desirable to eliminate the Annual Solid Waste Fee. He thinks that the County may be able to cut the Fee
in half in 1994 and possibly eliminate it altogether in 1995. He stated that another tool could be a direct
fee for recycling. Mr. Lerner referred to page d-1 in the packet describing financing options for 1994:
Option No. 1 includes a $150 tipping fee, no Annual Fee and a 6.5 percent property tax increase; Option
No. 2 includes a $105 tipping fee, $24 Annual Fee and a 6.5 percent increase in property tax; Option No.
3 includes a $100 tipping fee, a $47 Annual Fee and a zero percent property tax increase for 1994. Mr.
Lerner stated that he supports Option No. 2 and explained his reasons for supporting this option and said
it is his belief that 1994 will be a transitional year because the Recycling and Solid Waste Center will not
yet be open. He stated that the County will have more options once the Center is on line in 1995. Mr.
Todd stated that he endorses Option No. 3 and stated that he thinks the Annual Fee is a user fee and
although the public doesn't like it, they have begun to understand it. The difference between Option No.
2 and Option No. 3 is that there is no property tax increase in Option No. 3 but a higher Annual Fee. Mr.
Todd stated he feels that putting a fee on recycling takes away the incentive to recycle. Mr. Todd also
stated that he feels that tax exempt entities should continue to pay their fair share and that 1995 options
will be open regardless of selection of No. 2 or 3. There was discussion concerning the possibility of
instituting an annual fee for recycling at some point in the future.
Following discussion, Mr. Lerner thanked the Board for their comments and for their seriousness
in approaching this issue.

asked James Kazda, Senior Civil Engineer, Public Works Depai tiuent, to update the Board on
accommodations being made to return employees to work in the Biggs building.
James Kazda, Senior Civil Engineer, Public Works Department, reported on activities that have
taken place in order to make space available for employees out of work. Mr. Kazda updated the Board
on work being done to the building, including but not limited to: carpeting and adhesive has been
removed, ceilings, floor, windows and walls have been washed, air purifiers have been installed, and air
conditioning units have been cleaned and filters replaced. He also informed the Board that a state of the
art HVAC system is being installed in the building. Mr. Kazda spoke of a schedule referred to as the
master plan for implementing improvements at Biggs and other County buildings that was proposed
approximately a month ago and stated that they are still working from that but will need to update it as a
result of comments that were received late from Mr. Siwinski.
Mr. Stein asked Mr. Kazda if Mr. Siwinski has stated that air in the Biggs A building is not safe.
Mr. Kazda stated that "Mr. Siwinski has performed a survey of the employees within the Biggs complex
and that survey identifies that there is a trend of concern within the building, no where has Mr. Siwinski
made any recommendations for us to take any other actions than the actions that we have been taking.
We have been taking actions and we have to follow the protocols which have been established by many
state and national agencies. The protocols that we have been following are consistent with the way other
indoor air quality problems have been identified and have been followed and have been resolved. So, we
are following his guidelines as well as the guidelines of other agencies and he has not identified any need
to take action beyond that." Mr. Kazda referred to the fresh air ventilation standard and stated that he
would be researching code compliance further and will continue to report to the Board.
Mr. Mason, Chairman, Public Safety Committee, stated that the next Committee meeting will be
October 7 at noon at which there will be a brief regular Committee meeting followed by budget reviews.
Mr. Mason reported that he attended the New York State Association of Counties (NYSAC) 69th Annual
Fall Seminar. Mr. Mason reported that he visited the Onondaga County E911 Center and was very
impressed. Mr. Mason stated that he heard from representatives from correction and probation
departments throughout the State at the Conference and reported that twenty facilities are in the process
of expanding their facilities. He said that in 1989 jail populations were at 130 percent of capacity and in
1993 they are at 92 percent capacity. This may be one indication of why expected revenues were not
generated in the past year from boarding prisoners.

also begun work on the marble throughout the Courthouse. Mrs. Call stated Mr. Vandermark is an
employee who takes pride in his work. Mr. Winch, Chairman, Public Works and Construction
Management Committee, thanked Mrs. Call for her comments and stated that approximately a year and a
half ago, as Chairman of the Public Works and Construction Management Committee, he wrote a letter to
Mr. Vandermark complimenting him on his job performance and how well he maintains the Courthouse

RESOLUTION NO. 250 - ESTABLISHING THE PER -TON FEE FOR SOLID WASTE FOR 1994
Moved by Mr. Lerner, seconded by Mr. Todd.
Mr. Lerner began discussion stating that the County has a Solid Waste program which has to be
funded in 1994 and included in that funding is a cost of $3 million to landfill waste. This amount does
not include recycling, composting or landfill closure. He stated that the passage of this resolution with
either a $100 or $105 tipping fee commits the Board to a small increase in the tipping fee, continuation of
the Annual Fee, continuing to plan for recycling fees and to no property tax increase going towards solid
waste in 1994. Mr. Lerner stated he feels committee members are all in agreement that the fairest way to
charge for solid waste is through a weight or volume based fee. He said the committee felt that the
tipping fee should be set at a conservative rate to avoid a higher rate of Flow Control and illegal dumping
violators.
Mr: Evans stated that he is prepared to support a higher tipping fee if the Annual Fee were to be
made more fair. Mr. Lerner stated that there has been a lot of complaints about the Solid Waste Annual
Fee and that by raising the tipping fee to $105 it would be possible to have more flexibility in adjusting
fees.
It was Moved by Mr. Joseph, seconded by Mrs. Call, to amend the tipping fee from $100 to $105.
Mr. Todd stated that he would support a tipping fee of $100 and stated that he feels that the higher
the tipping fee, the more of an incentive for haulers to violate Flow Control. He stated that preliminary
figures he has seen show that by raising the tipping fee to $100 there would be a modest reduction in the
Annual Fee.
Mr. Stein stated that he has been opposed to the Annual Fee and is inclined to raise the tipping fee
even higher.
238
September 21, 1993
It was Moved by Mr. Stein, seconded by Mr. Proto, to amend the amendment to a $115 tipping
fee. Mr. Winch stated that he can not support a tipping fee this high because he feels illegal dumping
would increase. Mr. Evans stated that although he is not in favor of the Annual Fee, he feels the majority
of people are paying less than they would if it were on the property tax. Mr. Proto stated that he doesn't
think that raising the tipping fee to $115 will create that much of an adverse reaction and that there will
always be people who will dump illegally. Mr. Lerner stated that if a validation of flow control were
received by the Supreme Court, he would at that time look very seriously at raising the tipping fee. A
vote by show of hands on the motion to amend the amendment resulted as follows: Ayes - 3
(Representatives Evans, Proto and Stein), Noes - 12. Motion Lost.
A vote by show of hands on the amendment to raise the tipping fee to $105 resulted as follows:
Ayes - 10, Noes - 5 (Representatives Schuler, Stein, Shurtleff, Todd and Winch). Motion Carried.
It was Moved by Mr. Joseph, seconded by Mrs. Schuler, to delete the second RESOLVED. Mr.
Lerner stated that the Board should keep in mind that the county is already faced with at least a six
percent property tax increase for 1994. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 5 (Representatives
Joseph, Lerner, Mink, Schuler and Stein), Noes - 10. Motion Lost.
A roll call vote on the resolution as amended resulted as follows: Ayes - 10, Noes - 5
(Representatives Proto, Schuler, Shurtleff, Stein and Winch). Adopted.
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Solid Waste and Resource Management Committee, That
the per -ton fee for solid waste is hereby increased to $105 effective January 1, 1994,
RESOLVED, further, That it is not the intention of the Board to include any costs of the Solid
Waste or Recycling programs in those portions of the 1994 County budget that would require real
property tax funding,
RESOLVED, further, That this Board authorizes continued examination at the staff and
Committee level of service -based recycling fees not to be implemented before January 1, 1995.

Mr. Proto and feels the matter should be resolved before action is taken by this Board. Mrs. Livesay
stated that she would also like more information and Moved to Table this resolution to the October 5,
1993 Board meeting. Motion failed for lack of a second. It was Moved by Mr. Evans, seconded by Mrs.

to. Mr. Mason, Chairman, Public Safety Committee, stated that the Trumansburg Telephone Company
has shown that this can be done and it works out well. He also stated that there are several issues that
need to be resolved with telephone companies and that public education on this subject needs to improve.

Regular Meeting
Chairman Watros called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m.
Members and guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Present: 14 Representatives. Excused: 1 (Representative Schuler).
It was Moved by Mr. Proto, seconded by Mr. Evans, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by
members present, to approve the minutes of the September 21, 1993 and October 5, 1993 meetings as
submitted.
Under privilege of the floor, James Ellis, Department of Social Services Employee, said he is a
disabled employee by Biggs Building A and allegedly has "sick building syndrome". He asked about the
status of the safe room and would like to know when he can return to work.
Under privilege of the floor, Yvonne Bartlett, Interlaken resident and Department of Social
Services Employee and allegedly has "sick building syndrome", said she would be put up in a shelter
tonight because she has no electricity, fuel oil or income. She said she is not eligible to receive help from
Seneca County. She also said her immunizations have increased and was notified by Blue Cross/Blue
Shield that she is no longer able to use her prescription card. She expressed her frustration about being
unable to receive public assistance services.
Under privilege of the floor, Sharon Prezioso, Department of Social Services Employee and
allegedly has "sick building syndrome", submitted a statement detailing her experience with an
appointment for an exam with the State Insurance Fund Doctor. She asked that her rights and privileges
guaranteed in the United States Constitution be reinstated in Tompkins County. She also asked that
reports be filed stating any health problems or injuries be reported to the officer to which that department
head has been appointed by.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Taraszkiewicz, Hanshaw Road, submitted petitions to the Board
of Representatives protesting the imposition of the Annual Solid Waste Fee. He believes the fee is an
unreasonable tax in that it is not based on the amount of waste or recyclables produced by the subject
properties and it is an unfair and unconstitutional imposition on the taxpayers of this County. He also
believes the fee to be an unreasonable burden on business and property owners. The petition urges the
Tompkins County Board of Representatives to repeal the law.
Under privilege of the floor, James Crawford, Candidate for the Board, District No. 14, said he has
a statement signed by some of the candidates running for the Board asking for reconsideration of the
proposed Solid Waste and Recycling Center. The statement also states that the signed parties feel the
public deserves a thorough examination of the project and solid waste policies. He said his central
purpose for being here is he feels the public has not been convinced or persuaded that the solid waste and
recycling plan is cost effective. The following is a list of questions he asked:
1) What would be the cost in delaying the final approval of the recycling center to the first of the
year and is that a reasonable price to pay to earn the public's confidence and trust?
2) When is construction expected to begin, and would giving the newly seated Board members a
chance to examine the merits of current plans necessarily involve a construction delay, costs or penalties?
3) What would be the effect of flow control being struck down by the Supreme Court and has the
public been apprised of the cost consequences?
4) What is the guiding purpose of the recycling programs --is it cost -avoidance which would lead
to the lowest possible costs for residents, or are there other purposes which compete with cost-
effectiveness?
255
October 19, 1993
5) What is the justification for the cost of the observation platform? Why would a videotape of
the facility not suffice for school uses, and how could anything which cannot be discerned from outside
the facility be of concern to the neighborhood?
6) Would striking the observation platform be a step the Board is willing to take to reestablish the
public's confidence?
Under privilege of the floor, Gerry Angel, 1223 Trumansburg Road and Candidate for the Board,
spoke about the "Tompkins County Resource Study" conducted by the County Tax Committee. He
commended the people who prepared this document. He feels this is an important project and asked that
the Leadership Council be tabled to the first of the year.
Under privilege of the floor, Tammy Andrews, Neighbor of Yvonne Bartlett, said when she got to
know Yvonne, she got to see the illness: "sick building syndrome". She said the illness is
incomprehensible because we do not live with it. She feels it is time to do something and support Ms.
Bartlett and her family.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Lerner, Representative, District No. 1, responded to some of the
questions asked by Mr. Crawford. He addressed the impact of the Supreme Court overturning flow
control. He said Tompkins County would have a serious problem to solve but it would be worse without
the recycling center. Flow control helps to finance the solid waste program in the fairest way. Mr.
Lerner addressed the question of whether sufficient explanations to the public of the rationale for the
recycling center have been thoroughly explained. Mr. Lerner stated that a major effort has been made
this year to document what the need for the recycling center is and the economic rationale is. Mr. Lerner
said a proposed document of a six year projection of the entire solid waste budget with the recycling
center included will be available in the next couple weeks. He said he is hoping for a parallel document
showing the same breakout program by program of what the costs would look like without the recycling
center. What it will show is the costs for the overall program will be lower with the recycling center
including capital costs than without the center. Mr. Lerner said he could not answer the question at this
time of what the cost would be for delaying the recycling center project, but could at a later date.
However, he said the Deparnnient of Environmental Conservation (DEC) permits for the temporary
facilities will be expiring and if something to replace them is not in place it will create serious problems.
He addressed the question of whether the purpose of the center is cost avoidance or whether there are
other inconsistent purposes. Mr. Lerner stated that there are other purposes for the facility besides cost
avoidance, but there are no purposes that are inconsistent with cost avoidance. This facility is designed
to dispose of Tompkins County's waste in the most cost-effective way possible that is consistent with
DEC regulations. He also addressed the question about the observation platform. The primary reason
the observation platform is included is because the neighbors of the facility wanted to be able to view the
facility and see for themselves that it is being operated in a clean, safe and responsible way. It is a fringe
benefit to accommodate school children and tourists. He also reiterated that more than half of the cost of
the observation platform is the cost of the handicap access elevator mandated by federal law. He also
answered the question which has been asked several times --why not regionalize the solid waste program?
Mr. Lerner said wherever it is practicable, regionalizing is being done. However, two factors to keep in
mind: 1) a tremendous amount of the cost of the solid waste program is transportation; in the proposed
1994 budget over $2 million is budgeted for trucking costs; and 2) the surrounding counties have a
relatively small population in terms of waste stream and transportation costs would have to be considered
to access the facilities of the next tier of counties consisting of Binghamton, Rochester, Syracuse, etc.
Mr. Lerner also reiterated that DEC regulates how solid waste is disposed throughout New York State.
Until the Hillview Road Landfill was closed, Tompkins County was disposing garbage for about $5 per
ton. Now garbage is disposed of by a lowest bid process for transportation and tipping and the lowest bid
for a DEC permitted facility is about $70 per ton. Anything the County can do to dispose of solid waste
through recycling, composting, and waste reduction brings the cost down. The County is trying to plan
and develop a long-term program and for the next 20 years bring the cost down.

October 19, 1993
A lengthy discussion followed regarding the observation platform. Mr. Evans said the request for
the observation platform came from the Neighborhood Advisory Committee for the Central Processing
Facility. Mrs. Livesay stated there are many issues to consider when dealing with solid waste such as the
Solid Waste Management Plan, illegal dumping, open burning, etc. She also addressed the costs for
studying proposals. Mr. Stein reminded the Board that at the time the Board was considering the
observation platform, Mr. Vaughan, Chairman of the Neighborhood Advisory Committee for the Central
Processing Facility, made a strong presentation and a plea to the Board to vote in favor of the observation
platform. Mr. Stein said if the Board proceeds with the consideration of eliminating the observation
platform then Mr. Vaughan should be invited to a Board meeting to make another presentation. Mr.
Proto stated he would like to have Mr. Vaughan attend a Board meeting. Mr. Stein said he would take the
responsibility to invite Mr. Vaughan to a meeting to make comments under privilege of the floor.
Under privilege of the floor, Ms. Mink, Representative, District No. 5, asked for a report on the
status of the "safe" space in the Biggs Building. Ms. Mink stated at the last Board meeting some
questions were raised which involved personnel matters (discussion took place in executive session)
specifically health insurance.
Mr. Heyman, County Administrator, said the answers pertaining to health insurance were
unavailable at this time. He said all the equipment has been installed in the "safe room" and is being
tuned up. Certain tests need to be performed. The target date is October 25. Complainants will be
informed and will be able to contact their physicians about the completed work and receive permission to
return to work. Mr. Mulvey, County Attorney, spoke about the County paying the health insurance for
the employees with "sick building syndrome" allegedly caused by the Biggs Building. He said the
County would have to enact a policy and it would have to be negotiated with the union. He advised the
County cannot target a group of employees.
Mr. Evans, Representative, District No. 13, said he asked Anita Fitzpatrick, Personnel
Commissioner, to provide the Board with the costs of providing full health insurance benefits for
employees on leave due to illness.
Mr. Joseph, Representative, District No. 12, said that Blue Cross/Blue Shield has stated they are
not responsible for the bills because people are applying for Workmen's Compensation and therefore
Workmen's Compensation is responsible for the bills and the people should be not be using the Blue
Cross/Blue Shield cards. Mr. Heyman said he will have the Benefits Manager review this.
Mr. Culligan, Representative, District No. 2, expressed his concern about televising committee
meetings. He said it costs $71 for each committee meeting. He said he would like this decision
rescinded and asked the Public Information Committee to review it.
Cheryl Nelson, Employee Council Chairman, introduced members of the Executive Committee:
Hiroshi Takashima and Barbara Karaviotis and also introduced Leighann Baldwin, Employee Council
Secretary. She said a list of County conference rooms, the capacity of each room, and contact person and
telephone numbers will be available. She said the annual report was dispersed. She also said a revised
policy on public statements is being prepared by the task force. She reported on a resolution passed by
the Council requesting a building occupant survey be done in each building regarding
employee/environmental health. The resolution also requests that a "work at home" policy for employees
be created. The resolution was forwarded to the County's Safety Committee. She also reported on a
recent bus trip to a Buffalo Bills Football game. The trip was very successful.
Mr. Proto, Chairman of the Health and Education Committee, said the committee will be meeting
October 26. The committee will review budget changes, if any, and make a final recommendation
following regular business. He updated the Board on the activities of the Board of Health. He said the
257
October 19, 1993
nursing segment received an applaud on a recent audit. Ninety-four percent of two to three year olds are
immunized. PCAP (Prenatal Care Assistance Program) also received recognition from the State auditor.
For the first time Children with Special Care Needs has reported that nine children have been discharged
since July.
Mr. Evans, Chairman of the Personnel Committee, said the committee has met several times. The
committee discussed questions relative to health insurance and Workmen's Compensation pertaining to
the employees with "sick building syndrome" allegedly caused by the Biggs building. Three rounds of
negotiations have been completed with the blue and white collar units. He said he would like to discuss
at the appropriate time negotiations in executive session. The next meeting is October 28 at 8 a.m.
Ms. Mink, Chair, Human Services Committee, said the next committee meeting is November 2 at
10 a.m. and will complete budget reviews at that time.
Mr. Mason, Chairman, Public Safety Committee, said the committee has also completed budget
reviews except the Sheriffs. The committee will meet November 1 to conclude budget reviews.
Mr. Stein, Chairman of the Planning Committee, said the committee met October 7. The
committee began budget reviews and will meet again October 21 to complete budget reviews and will
receive a presentation on the Biggs study. The Board will receive a presentation on the Biggs study at
the following Board meeting.
Mr. Winch, Chairman, Public Works and Construction Management Committee, said the
committee met and began budget reviews. He announced that the County received $34,600 for the
emergency snow plowing assistance provided through the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
This emergency was declared as a result of the 1993 blizzard. He updated the Board on the asbestos
situation at the Tompkins County Public Library. The Library was temporarily closed until air testing of
materials was performed. The results of the tests were negative and the Library reopened. He updated
the Board on the budget situation for Buildings and Grounds. The Department is experiencing a shortfall
as a result of rented space to the Economic Opportunity Corporation, Tompkins County Employee Day
Care Center, Tompkins County Employee Federal Credit Union, New York State Police, and Ithaca
Town Court. He said he feels the Board needs to reexamine the current policy to provide revenue for
maintaining Buildings and Grounds. The County is not charging for the utilities, cleaning, etc. of this
space and it costs $173,000 annually.
Mr. Todd, Chairman of the Fiscal Affairs Committee, said the committee met October 13. He said
he expects to take action on the material distributed at the previous Board meeting on the proposed
reorganization plan sometimes referred to as "Total Quality Management" in November. He
recommended the Board think about the question raised by Gerry Angel under privilege of the floor
about postponing action on creating a leadership council until a new Board is seated in 1994. He said he
invited Hon. Ronald Dougherty, Chairman of the Tioga County Legislature, to the next committee
meeting to discuss the Council on Government Program.
Mr. Lerner, Chairman of the Solid Waste and Resource Management Committee, said the
committee met briefly before the Board meeting and approved the resolutions to accept the draft Generic
Environmental Impact Statement and set a public hearing for the Solid Waste Management Plan. The
next meeting is October 28 at 11 a.m. He said on November 16 he will be requesting a committee -of -the -
whole to review the solid waste budget.
Mrs. Livesay, Intergovernmental Representative, updated the Board on the Cable Commission
meeting held October 14 at Cooperative Extension. A staff person from the New York State Cable
Commission was present to discuss cable franchising. She'said she would be pursuing the subject.
258
October 19, 1993
Mrs. Call, Chairman, Budget and Administration Committee, said the committee met October 12
and most of the business is reflected on the agenda. The committee discussed the Financial Disclosure
Form policy. The committee discussed the appeal of the Department of Social Services' furniture and
upheld the Purchasing Depaitment's decision not to rebid. The committee directed the Human Services
Committee to review this since it is the first time to bid used furniture. Some clarifications can be made
in the policy about the bid. The budget reviews have been scheduled. She also spoke about the
memorandum from David Squires, Comptroller, concerning the third quarter financial report.
Mr. Heyman, County Administrator, reported on the meeting with Department Heads concerning
the proposed reorganization plan for Tompkins County.
Mr. Mulvey, County Attorney, said he did not have a report.

Members and guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Present: 14 Representatives. Excused: 1 (Representative Schuler).
Under privilege of the floor, Claudia Cinquaniti, Department of Social Services Employee, spoke
concerning air quality at Biggs A and expressed frustration at administrators.
Under privilege of the floor, Sharon Prezioso McLaughlin, Department of Social Services
Employee, spoke concerning air quality at Biggs A. She urged the Board to consider a satellite office.
Under privilege of the floor, Yvonne Bartlett, Department of Social Services Employee, spoke
concerning air quality at Biggs A. Ms. Bartlett spoke of financial difficulties and expressed frustration at
Tompkins County administration. Ms. Bartlett stated that she has not refused any accommodations to
return to work. "
Under privilege of the floor, Mamie Kirchgessner, Human Rights Commission Employee, spoke
concerning air quality at Biggs A. Ms. Kirchgessner stated that she feels the County does not fully
understand the disease known as multiple chemical sensitivities. She asked that the Board investigate the
possibility of a satellite office to house sick employees to do their work.
Under privilege of the floor, Ann Rider, Department of Social Services Employee and Chair of the
CSEA Local 855, stated CSEA is eager to join together with the County to work towards total quality
management as well as with other policies of the County.
Under privilege of the floor, Barbara Mahoney, former Depaitment of Social Services Employee,
stated that although she now has another job, she still suffers the effects of multiple chemical sensitivities
which she believes she has as a result of working in Biggs A. Ms. Mahoney urged the Board to better
inform themselves on the disease.
Under Privilege of the floor, Mel Bartlett, husband of Yvonne Bartlett who is a Depaitinent of
Social Services Employee, spoke of financial difficulties his family is facing as a result of his wife not
working. Mr. Bartlett believes there needs to be better communication within the County.
Under privilege of the floor, Henry Vaughan, Chairman, Neighborhood Advisory Committee for
the Commercial Avenue Central Processing Facility, spoke concerning the Tompkins County Recycling
and Solid Waste Center. Mr. Vaughan stated the following points:
1. The Commercial Avenue site is a high-risk location: He stated a primary concern of the
Committee is that the location is a potentially obnoxious facility in a location that is adjacent to some of
the most expensive and tax productive properties in the County.
2. Adequate Funding of Maintenance: He stated that one of the biggest concerns of the
Committee is ensuring continued adequate funding of the operation and maintenance of the Facility. He
stated that the County's original DEIS (Draft Environmental Impact Statement) said that the Facility
would be kept clean by hosing it down daily with hot water. The Committee feels that after approvals
were received, budgetary pressures caused the daily cleaning to be modified to only daily sweepings.
270
November 3, 1993
3. Private vs. Public Operation: While it appears that the selection of CRInc. is a reasonable
choice, the Committee hopes that the contract will contain adequate safeguards for those who must live
near the Facility.
4. The "Observation Platform": The Committee feels to ensure its trust that the Facility will in no
way harm them, that it is a good idea to operate the proposed Facility in a manner that is continuously
exposed to public scrutiny. He also believes that public education about the costs and processes for
handling our waste is an important function and this observation area can be used effectively for that
purpose.
Mr. Vaughan concluded his remarks stating that the businesses located near the Facility pay
approximately $250,000 annually in property taxes and generate about one-third of the County's sales
taxes. If the Facility adversely impacts these businesses, the cost to the County would greatly exceed any
savings that County may realize by eliminating that feature.
Mrs. Livesay stated that the change in the cleaning of the Facility was not a result of budget
pressures. She stated that the dry sweepings will be done as a safety measure.
Ms. Mink, Chair, Human Services Committee, on behalf of members of the Board, expressed the
sympathy and feeling members of the Board have for those who are out of work. She stated that there are
many efforts being made behind the scenes and it is the intention of the Board to return employees to
work.
James Kazda, Senior Civil Engineer for the Public Works Department, stated that he participated
in a walk through of the accommodation space at the Biggs building with Fred Thomas Associates, Greg
Siwinski, and staff. Mr. Kazda stated that equipment has been installed and is properly functioning.
Other minor modifications requested by Mr. Siwinski to be made to the room and surrounding areas of
the building are: insulate windows in the office, remove air conditioner, undercut the door to the office
to provide circulation and put final connections on a water cooler located outside the office. He stated
that these modifications are expected to be completed by the end of the week. At this point a meeting is
to be planned with Mr. Siwinski and employees to see if they are ready to return to the space on Monday.
Mr. Stein, Chairman, Planning Committee, stated that that the air quality problem in the Biggs A
building is a serious and complex issue. He stated that the Public Works and Construction Management
Committee has approved $6.4 million to bring the Biggs A Building heating and ventilation systems up to
standard first class office space. This $6.4 million is to be included in the 1994 Capital Budget to be
voted on at the November 30 budget meeting of the Board. Mr. Stein expressed great concern that the
Board would not have an opportunity to discuss this proposed Capital Project in detail prior to that
meeting, therefore, is bringing the issue up this evening.
Mr. Stein stated that this is a very critical and complex issue. Some of the issues he sees are:
health, initial and long range cost, maintenance and operation costs, service to clientele (which is a
location issue), program issues and the relationship to the community. He stated that by investing $6.4
million, it is his judgment that the County would be making a 25-50 year decision to stay on West Hill
and to have all services provided out of that building. He stated that the study originated in the Human
Services Committee and was brought to the Planning Committee. Ms. Mink, Chair, Human Services
Committee, stated that plans have been underway for a couple of years to fix overdue problems in Biggs.
When people came forward with problems they were experiencing from the building, it focused attention
more sharply on what kind of investment the County would make in that building. She also feels that
investing $6.4 million would make West Hill the "County Campus". She also expressed her support for
services to be brought downtown.
271
November 3, 1993
Mr. Stein stated that after a preliminary report was presented to the Planning Committee which
considered different locations and costs of those locations and was reported on in the newspaper, he
received a phone call from a local private development group who commented that they read the report
and felt some of the figures used were not accurate with ones that have experienced and asked if the
County would be interested in receiving what they felt figures should be. Mr. Stein stated that there were
no negotiations but in the spirit of seeking information, he and others met with this development group
and came away with additional information that helped with the study being presented this evening. Mr.
Stein stated that if there is any other development group or person that has information that they feel
would be useful in helping the County with its deliberations on this subject, the information would be
welcomed with the understanding that this would not be any type of negotiation. At this point he stated
he does not feel he has enough information to spend $6.4 million on the Biggs Building. He feels a study
relating to the issues needs to be undertaken and questions of health and air quality need to be addressed.
Mr. Stein introduced James Hanson, Planning Commissioner, who distributed a preliminary spreadsheet
of costs and revenues for Biggs Building A Options dated November 3, 1993 which contains five options
with projected costs. Those options are as follows:
Option I: Building a four -floor addition to the Mental Health Building, plus a 6 -story addition to
the current parking lot.
Option II: Construction of a six -story, 11,000 square foot building on the site of the current "C"
or Annex building, where Assessment, Central Data Processing and the Board of Elections is located.
These Departments would be located in the new building, as well as the Biggs depai liiients.
Option III: The current Biggs Building A, with a new heating, ventilation and air conditioning
system. The architectural enhancements are not included in the cost of this project.
Option IV: Construction of a privately -developed building to house the Biggs depaltments. The
assumption is made of $100 construction costs per square food and 2/3 County contribution to a new
parking garage and parking maintenance.
Option V. Privately -developed building with the County paying 1/3 of the cost of parking and
parking maintenance.
After an explanation of figures presented in the spreadsheet Board members discussed the various
options and costs. Mr. Proto requested information on the cost of building on the existing Biggs Building
A property. Mrs. Call mentioned that the consolidation of Human Service agencies in the same building
should also be looked at in this process. Mr. Stein concluded the presentation by stating that there were
several good questions raised but not enough information for the Board to make a decision on this subject
at this time.
Mr. Proto, Chairman, Health and Education Committee, reported that the Committee met last
week and completed its budget deliberations. Mr. Proto reported on the recent dedication to Dr. Racker

representatives from nine towns and government and explores areas of cooperation between
municipalities. Mr. Todd stated that this has worked to a certain degree in Tioga County.

Public Hearing
Solid Waste Management Plan
Holiday Inn, Ithaca, New York
The public hearing was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by Mr. Lerner, Chairman of the Solid Waste
and Resource Management Committee, concerning the draft Solid Waste Management Plan.
Mr. Lerner began by introducing the following people present:
Eric Lerner, Chairman, Solid Waste and Resource Management Committee
Robert Watros, Chairman, Board of Representatives
Daniel Winch, Representative, District No. 8
Beverly Livesay, Representative, District No. 11
Stuart Stein, Representative, District No. 3
Barbara Blanchard, Representative Elect, District No. 1
Michael Lane, Representative Elect, District No. 14
Barbara Eckstrom, Solid Waste Manager
Kenneth Thompson, Solid Waste Assistant Manager
Thomas Richardson, Recycling Supervisor
Jonathan Wood, Assistant County Attorney
Sharon Conley, Recourse Systems
Catherine Covert, Clerk of the Board
Michelle Pottorff, Deputy Clerk of the Board
Mr. Lerner said the comments made this evening will be incorporated into the Plan and
distributed to the people speaking. There is a thirty (30) day comment period for the draft Generic
Environmental Impact Statement of the Tompkins County Solid Waste Management Plan which begins
October 19 and ends November 23, 1993.
Mr. Lerner continued by giving a background summary of the Plan. It has been several years in
the making. He said he is satisfied that the Plan comes close to being the best that the people of this
County can do to manage solid waste. This is a twenty (20) year Plan. The previous way solid waste
was disposed of is no longer acceptable. Over the last fifteen (15) years the Federal Government and
New York State Government have required by law that localities change the way they dispose of solid
waste due to leachate problems. No one realized ten (10) to fifteen (15) years ago what an expensive and
complex project it was going to be. Solid waste is disposed of in the most environmentally -sound cost-
effective way possible. The challenge is to find ways to dispose of garbage which is in compliance with
laws and regulations and which reduces the cost of garbage within the framework of State mandates.
Mr. Lerner addressed the concerns that have been raised associated with staffing at the Solid
Waste Division. When people wonder about clerical staff in Solid Waste, there is a lot of office work as
well as physical work involved.
It was the County's original intent to build a DEC (Department of Environmental Conservation)
regulated landfill. Tompkins County has abandoned the DR -7 site. The basic plan in Tompkins County
is based on economies of scale. The cost per ton for disposing of solid waste in a Tompkins County
sized landfill would be more expensive than the alternative -- to take bids from the private sector for the
disposal of solid waste. The disposal method has to comply with DEC regulations and State laws.
These bids would include transportation and tipping to a facility location. There is approximately
60,000 tons per year of solid waste to dispose of in Tompkins County. It would cost $1 million at $70
279
November 9, 1993
per ton for disposal. The County has to look at alternative ways to reduce the per ton cost and find long
range ways to dispose of garbage while complying with State mandates.
Tompkins County is building a recycling center where garbage will be sorted and handled in
different ways. Some sorted materials require additional processing making them more marketable and
less expensive to truck. The Recycling Facility is intended to give us maximum capability and
flexibility. There is currently an interim composting facility in Danby and the County is in the process of
developing a larger composting facility. It would be to the County's advantage to be able to compost at a
cost less than transporting. Finally, early stages of developing waste reduction strategies to reduce the
amount of waste include public education, waste exchange programs and a lot of room for creative
thought for cost effectiveness. Another major component includes the closure of landfills in Tompkins
County by the DEC. The County has to comply with DEC regulations in the closure process while
assuming a $1 million cost for the process.
Jonathan Wood, Assistant County Attorney, explained the SEQR (State Environmental Quality
Review) process. He stated that as part of the Solid Waste Management Plan the State requires the
County to comply with the SEQR Act. The draft GEIS (Generic Environmental Impact Statement) is
required by Law to have a public comment period of thirty (30) days. The Law does not necessarily
require a public hearing but the County is conducting a public hearing to allow maximum public
comment. The comment period ends November 23. All substantive comments and their responses will
become part of the final Plan.
Mr. Lerner stated that copies of the sixteen -page Executive Summary is available in addition to
the two-page summary.
Mr. Ernest Bury, 206 Valley Road, Ithaca, stated that he heard the Plan will allow for a lot of
flexibility. He stated every dollar invested in anything represents a dollar of consumption and stated he
is appalled about a $5.6 million contract with CRInc. He views other alternatives for the County to be:
the Triangle Steel Facility which is on the market and is twice as big and is being sold for $.5 million. It
is also on a rail line. Mr. Bury stated by using this facility the County would be "reusing and recycling" a
large facility. The rail line has several important components. Garbage would not have to hauled on
County roads and would not be creating pollution. The sale of recyclables on a rail car is worth $10
more per ton. A second alternative would be for the County to take advantage of a standing offer from a
neighboring county. The offer would allow the County to receive the same price as is listed in the
CRInc. contract. Mr. Bury feels a third issue is the Supreme Court has yet to rule on the flow control
law. Mr. Bury believes the law is unconstitutional and if it is overturned it means it will have a profound
impact on the economics and the only alternative would be to find other sources of revenues. For the
County that other source of income would be through property taxes. Mr. Bury stated he truly hopes the
law will be overturned.
Barbara Blanchard, 316 Brookfield Road, Ithaca, stated she is not generally supportive of the
concepts of the County's Solid Waste Management Plan. She feels the County's approach to solid waste
management is unrealistic and unreasonable philosophy. She is opposed to the placement of the
Tompkins County Recycling and Solid Waste Center at its location as a City of Ithaca Representative.
She commented on a County Committee meeting where discussion took place on State mandates. Ms.
Blanchard questioned the County's interpretation of those mandates. She stated she has concerns with
the finance section of the Plan. She stated she would like to have section 490 of the Real Property Tax
Law amended to include an exemption for special assessments for solid waste improvements and for
which special ad valorem levies and assessments can be imposed. It would be the same process as with
the water improvements and sidewalk improvements without the amendment in the Law. She does not
feel the current legislation can continue. She asked the County to look at the proposal the City of Ithaca
280
November 9, 1993
advanced in 1990 that had to do with the tax law to see if that would provide a more fairer way to finance
the plan.
8 p.m.
No other member of the public wished to comment and the public hearing was declared closed at

Under privilege of the floor, Ernest Bury, Valley Road, Ithaca, distributed copies of the Tompkins
County Solid Waste Management Plan Executive Summary. Mr. Bury expressed his opinion that he
believes that there are legal problems because the County has not included costs for transportation in the
Plan. Mr. Bury also stated that he does not feel it is cheaper to recycle.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Lerner, Chairman, Solid Waste and Resource Management
Committee, addressed comments made by Mr. Bury concerning legal problems he feel exist in the
proposed Solid Waste Management Plan relating to the transportation of solid waste.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Proto, Representative, District No. 7, stated he is perplexed that
the Board has not taken a position on NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement). He stated that
he feels the County would greatly benefit by this. Mr. Proto urged members of the Board to express their
opinion and support this as he feels it can only serve to help and enhance Tompkins County.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Culligan, Representative, District No. 2, stated that the Ithaca
City School District is now allowing a five-day grace period on the payment of taxes for the medium and

(NO FURTHER ACTION NECESSARY)
RESOLUTION NO. 301 - ADOPTION OF 1994 TOMPKINS COUNTY BUDGET AND
CAPITAL PROGRAM (Adopted December 7, 1993)
Moved by Mrs. Call, seconded by Mr. Shurtleff. Mr. Todd, Representative, District No. 6, began
discussion stating he feels that the budget as presented is unacceptable. As a result of the sales tax
agreement, revenues in towns and villages are up and there is no property tax increase expected from the
City of Ithaca. The proposed 1994 Tompkins County budget as presented is $82 million which is a $1.9
million increase from 1993. This equals an 11 percent property tax increase. Mr. Todd stated that he
doesn't believe Tompkins County wants that kind of property tax increase after the County adopted a
sales tax increase. Mr. Todd stated that he intends to move an amendment for an across the board cut
and hopes that the amendment will stimulate debate by the County and the public.
Mr. Stein, Representative, District No. 3, stated that there needs to be discussion on why taxes are
going up. One observation that he sees that may be overlooked is a trend of services being shifted from
municipalities to County government. The County has taken over assessment, youth services, election
costs, the transit system and the County has a public library. Mr. Stein stated that he expects that the
trend will continue for reasons of efficiency and effectivity. However, with these programs comes a cost
the County must absorb. The reason many municipalities are not raising taxes may be attributed to this
trend. He stated that it is important to understand this as part of the debate.
Mrs. Livesay, Representative, District No. 11, stated that the County should be providing services
in the best possible way. She said that it would be wonderful to have a zero percent property tax increase
but it is important to know what would be involved with that decision.
Mr. Todd stated that he recognizes that mandated items cannot be subjected to across the board
cuts. He believes there needs to be prioritizing within departments. One reason he has presented the idea
is to create debate amongst Board members and the public.
Mr. Proto, Representative, District No. 7, stated that Mr. Stein has hit upon an important concern.
He stated that the County needs to look at those services that have been consolidated and see what the
costs have been and if it has reduced the cost for the taxpayer.
Mr. Mason, Representative, District No. 15, stated that as a result of the sales tax agreement the
towns and villages are facing significant tax decreases. He stated that when the County has the
opportunity to apply additional revenues to the tax rate, the tax rate is reduced and is not sure that
municipalities are doing the same.
285
November 16, 1993
Mr. Winch, Representative, District No. 8, stated that what he would like propose is that
depai tinent heads and committee chairmen have discussion on what the impact would be of a zero
percent property tax increase. Mr. Winch stated that the idea is intriguing but doesn't believe that the
ramifications would be acceptable to the people of Tompkins County who are continually asking for
more services.
Mr. Heyman, County Administrator, stated that a $1.9 million cut across the board could be done.
The actions taken would be severe and would include a number of employee layoffs. Mr. Heyman stated
that it has been done in other counties.
Mr. Lerner, Representative, District No. 1, stated the budget that has been recommended does not
restore the fund balance. He feels the fund balance should be restored and will be arguing to do so.
It was Moved by Mrs. Call, seconded by Mrs. Livesay, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by
members present, to Table this resolution to November 30, 1993.
It was Moved by Mr. Lerner, seconded by Mr. Evans, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by
members present, to adjourn to a Committee of the Whole at 6:30 p.m. for sixty minutes to discuss and
consider the proposed 1994 Tompkins County Solid Waste budget and five year projection.
It was Moved by Mr. Proto, seconded by Mrs. Call, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by
members present, that the Committee rise and report that the Solid Waste budget was duly considered
and will be brought before the Board November 30 for approval. The Chairman of the Solid Waste and
Resource Management Committee did and upon rise and report the same.

thought about that fact, I thought about the budgets that we have passed in the last twelve years that I've
been on the Board.
Chart. Shows five items, 1982 thru 1994: mandates, public works, human services, public safety
and all others.
This chart reflects four conditions that I call the "eternal verities" of the County budget":
1. Mandated programs continue to increase at a rate of more than twelve percent a year.
2. The economy remains stable and therefore the sales tax and other revenues do not provide a rising
source of income.
3. The majority of citizens want to maintain the level of services now provided by the County.
4. The majority of citizens don't want their taxes to increase.
The chart reflects the four conditions I've outlined but it also shows that:
1. taxes are with us every year
2. all services share in the increased costs and contribute to taxes (Dan, if this is on the chart)
How do you impact this type of chart?
Two simple -- sounding ways are:
1. Increase revenues. Sales tax estimates for 1994 were put in at about the same level as 1993.
No significant new sources of money for general programs have been found.
2. Decrease spending and/or cut back on programs. I'll repeat: I believe the majority of citizens
do not want to drastically cut programs and services.
A third way to impact the chart, perhaps more complex:
3. Prioritize the services that County government provides so that all do not increase at the same
rate, or some are phased out or cut back, or expanded. Devise a way to do this prioritization: do it by a
massive, well-designed, County -wide survey, or do it by TQM (Total Quality Management), or some
other as yet unnamed method.
Somehow, try to achieve this goal: The level of services that the majority of people want the
County to provide, with a lower tax burden. I charge this new, ongoing Board of Representatives with
that goal.
I have not said much about the 1994 budget. This budget, as in years past, reflects very hard work
on the part of depai tiiient heads and agency directors. It reflects many hours of cost containment, choices
for service provision and all the myriad decisions and dedication that bring us to this point: a vote by this
Board on the budget. The work done in the past twelve weeks reflects some real curtailment of service
and much knowledge that a department cannot fulfill its' full mission because there isn't enough money.
My thanks, as always, to the real public servants who helped create the budget.
297
November 30, 1993
Again, I say to the ongoing 1994 Board of Representatives, the 1994 budget unfortunately
continues to reflect the chart and the concepts I outlined earlier. As hard as we worked, my parting
thought is that "it just isn't good enough" we could have done better".
You, my friends, have got to do better.
Chairman Watros asked if anyone wished to speak?
Joe Cassanti, 330 West State Street, said he knows business people who pay a great deal of taxes
and that he is interested in what they have to say.
Ted Wixom, Village of Lansing Mayor, spoke in opposition to an increase in property tax. He
said the Consumer Index shows an average increase of 3.6 percent over the last three years. The
County's proposed tax increase is three times that amount. This tells me that the goods and services
provided by the County have increased in value three times that for such basics as food, clothing,
transportation, medical care and housing. Mandated programs have often been identified as the reason
for substantial increase in this budget. He asked if a budget was presented with a zero percent increase?
He also asked that the Board vote to cap it at a Consumer Price Index rate of inflation or Statewide
average for counties or some other objective figure.
Paul Steiger, East State Street, said he was speaking on his behalf not on behalf of the Chamber of
Commerce Tax Committee. He spoke about an article in the Ithaca Journal stating a settlement was
reached with the Blue Collar Union Contract. His assumption is that it will be a pattern for the general
wage and benefits settlement or contributions to all employees in the County. He said County employees
have a health care benefit that is a richer benefit than any health care in the nation. Employees all over
the nation have been sacrificing give backs in the health care arena for the past five years, but not
Tompkins County employees. Tompkins County employees have a drug card and for $1 can get a
prescription drug without any generic drug restriction. He said his drug card costs him $10 each time.
The average across the nation is $60. County employees also have a $100 deductible in their health plan.
The average is $250 and rising all the time. The tax committee recommended changing that to the
average and if the County had changed it, the savings would have been $.25 million per year. Instead the
County is now locked in for four years. He said this is one more example of the County's unwillingness
to address cost control.
Yvonne Bartlett, Depai t,nent of Social Services Employee, Interlaken, alleges she has "multiple
chemical sensitivities" due to working at Biggs A. She reiterated the schedule of events since being
taken out of work and stated that she still does not have an income. She said the Doctor who diagnosed
her with the alleged disease passed away.
Calvin Criss, Buffalo Street, expressed his concern with the various percentage increases for
General Government Support, human services, public safety, health services, public works and
community service and education.
Mark Finkelstein, 210 Lake Street, said if the County adopts the proposed budget, the total budget
will have increased over 50 percent in four years. He spoke about possible ways to reduce the budget
including the review of mandates. He urged the Board to support the proposed amendment for a zero
percent increase in property taxes being offered by Representative Todd.
Frank Rose, 112 Valleyview Road, said he opposes a property tax increase. He said if he has
calculated correctly, optional costs have risen 44 percent in the last five years including the proposal
being considered this evening, whereas his salary has only increased 18 percent in the last five years.
298
November 30, 1993
Evan Lambrou, Honness Lane, said he also opposes a property tax increase and feels public
employees at all levels of government should not receive a significant salary increase. He also stated the
County should have an incinerator because of the cost of exporting solid waste.
Fred Quinlan, Sun Down Road, Freeville, encouraged the Board to vote in favor of Representative
Todd's proposed amendment for a zero percent property tax increase.
Alan Cohen, 302 East State Street, felt the general public did not have an idea what was going on
with the budget until after the election. He feels the public needs more time to study the figures and
issues. He also recommends long-term planning. He feels a study of mandates should be undertaken and
urged the Board to be responsive.
Mel Bartlett, Husband of Yvonne Bartlett a Department of Social Services Employee, stated that
he doesn't believe his wife receives a lot of benefits from being a County employee. He asked the Board
to look into concerns raised this evening.
Tom Murray, 62 Spring Run Road, Freeville, finds if difficult to maintain business when federal
taxes, Worker's Compensation, County taxes, school taxes, etc. continue to increase. The end result is
less employees working for him which adds to the County budget. It's important to review how the
County is operating and become more efficient. He said he opposes a property tax increase.
Tom Corey, Lee Road, Village of Dryden, mentioned the report by the Tax Committee and said he
was the author of the health insurance portion. He feels the County should reduce the work force. He
referred to the social services increase in personnel and fringe benefits which amounts to $800,000 in
additional costs between 1993 and 1994 representing a 12 percent increase in the cost of personnel, yet
no increase for the aid to independent children and home relief which are the criteria under which social
services are presented. He also referred to a line item for the County Clerk's office. The Department of
Motor Vehicles is no longer renting space. Barbara Mahoney, Hayts Road resident and Department of
Social Services employee, stated she feels government is too expensive. She stated that she is unable to
work in the "clean room" provided for employees in the Biggs building.
Lloyd Mix, Ringwood Road, stated that a lot of changes are needed to be made to the proposed
budget. He feels that alcohol is a major problem and cost contributor in Tompkins County.
Ralph Lapadula, Floral Avenue, spoke in opposition to the proposed 1994 Tompkins County
budget and stated that he feels the budget should have been presented prior to the November election.
Ernest Bury, Valley Road, Ithaca, spoke in opposition to the proposed 1994 Tompkins County
budget and stated that he believes there are very few State mandates on trash.

budget. Mr. Stover stated that his small business is in jeopardy. He also stated that he feels the increases
outlined in the budget are not justified.
Charles Tollman, Richard Place, stated that as a banker, realtor and someone who has been in
finances all his life, finds the proposed 12 percent property tax increase to be unacceptable. He stated
that he believes that this would drive entrepreneurs out of the County and the State.
Allen Akers, Trumansburg Road, spoke in opposition to the proposed 1994 Tompkins County
budget and stated it creates great hardship for those on fixed incomes. He feels during these hard times,
the County should be cutting back.
299
November 30, 1993
Richard Sweet, Hayts Road, spoke in opposition to the proposed 1994 Tompkins County budget.
He stated that as a purchasing agent for the Federal Government, he tries to bend regulations. He stated
Tompkins County needs to try to bend to get the lowest costs possible.
Gerry Angel, Trumansburg Road, spoke in opposition to the proposed 1994 Tompkins County
Budget. He stated that his family tries to evaluate how they spend their money and the County needs to
do the same. He stated that he feels County and its depaitments need to go on a low fat diet and possibly
initiate a pay freeze.
David Stotz, Green Lane, spoke in opposition to the proposed 1994 Tompkins County budget. He
stated that the number one issue is property tax and that there are many people in this community for
which 12 percent is not a small property tax increase. He urged the Board to reduce County costs.
Willard Daetsh, Danby Road, expressed opposition to a property tax increase. Mr. Daetsch stated
that he feels the County should prioritize services because some services are more crucial than others.
Rev. Ted Craig, Pastor, Town of Danby, spoke in opposition to the proposed 1994 Tompkins
County budget. He stated that people have told him that they live from one payday to the next. Mr.
Craig referred to percentages of increase within the last five years in Tompkins County and asked that
Board members remember their title as "Representative".
Lenorre Schwager, Finger Lakes Independence Center, stated that the Center is aid those who are
hearing impaired and teach people about equipment, services and their rights. She stated that FLIC is the
only agency within Tompkins County which offers this service and without additional money the Center
will be forced to turn people away. Ms. Schwager asked that the Board allocate to them the amount
approved by the Human Services Coalition.
Larry Roberts, President of the Board of Directors at the Finger Lakes Independence Center
(FLIC), asked that the Board favorably consider to allocated to them the amount budgeted by the Human
Services Coalition. He stated that the request is in the amount of $3,000. Mr. Roberts reaffirmed the
comments made by the previous speaker.
Mahlea Carlisle, Cliff Street, and member of the Finger Lakes Independence Center, also spoke in
favor the County supporting the Agency. She stated that because she is hearing impaired she knows what
it is like for those who do what services are available. She stated that she feels $3,000 is a small amount
for the education and training of visually impaired people in Tompkins County.
Bernard Goodman, White Park Road, spoke in opposition to the proposed 1994 Tompkins County
budget. Mr. Goodman stated that government needs to understand that it cannot go into people's lives
and take control of them.
Carol Reeves, Linn Street, stated that she is opposed to the proposed 1994 Tompkins County
budget. She said that she has been involved in the City and budget process for eight years and stated she
feels the proposed budget is unacceptable. She said she is grateful for Mr. Todd's proposed amendment.
David Tanner, Horizon Drive, spoke in opposition to the proposed 1994 Tompkins County budget.
He complimented the County on its work, however, questioned how many businesses locally and
nationally can get an eleven percent increase in their cost and how many people receive an eleven percent
increase annually. He asked if the County has looked at ways to cut costs and if the cost of health care
has been raised for workers.

and said that negotiations with the colleges are not complete. He reiterated that there are no property tax

collection and recycling for 1993. He urged the Board to re-examine the morass of what is mandatory
verses what is a goal.

Mr. Winch, Representative, District No. 8, stated that he has lived in Tompkins County for his
entire life, is employed by Cornell University as a support person, not a faculty member and devotes
much of his free time to public service. Mr. Winch stated that during his nineteen years of public service
this has been his most excruciating experience for him putting together a budget. ,As Chairman of the
Public Works and Construction Management Committee, he has seen the Public Works budget erode for
the past four years more than any other program. Public Works has lived within the guidelines and has
taken the biggest hits. He spoke of the positions the Department stands to lose with proposed cuts after
not filling positions that have become vacant over the last few years. Mr. Winch stated that among his
interests he has a great interest for human services which is what lead him to this Board. Mr. Winch
stated that he is upset by statements of the poor work being performed by County employees. He stated
that the County does have some problem employees but are taking care of those problems. However,
overall he feels the County has many fine people providing very fine services. Mr. Winch referred to
problems of the Buffalo Hill Road Bridge and how County employees spent many hours trying to provide
service to the residents in the effected area. He also recalled the 1993 Blizzard at which the Sheriffs
Department, County and local highway departments worked endless hours to make roads safe for the

included on the next Board agenda. The first will address health insurance for Board members. He said
that Board members are part-time employees and should receive benefits equivalent to other part-time
employees, and all Board members should receive equal compensation for their service. Another
326
December 7, 1993
resolution will address the hiring of an independent auditor to investigate all County mandated programs
and report to the Board of Representatives whether we are meeting or exceeding the mandates of the
State.
Ms. Mink, Representative, District No. 5, stated that the public hearing has been an education to
learn where County dollars are spent. She stated that it seems that human service agencies have been
over -represented here this evening and that is because the small amount of money they receive goes a
long way. That also means that small cuts are devastating and the reason volunteers, taxpayers, non -
County employees and people affiliated with agencies which help people in need came out and spoke
tonight are unfortunately putting themselves against people who call themselves true taxpayers and it is
nonsense to call those people lobbyists. It is clear that people do not want higher taxes and when
speaking about taxes they are referring to State, County, local and other taxes. The County Board can
only address County taxes. She also spoke of the opposition to across the board cuts and the need for
prioritizing services. Unfortunately, the County Board can not establish priorities this evening. Thirdly,
she spoke of mandates. She stated she stands by her recent statements which appeared in the Ithaca
Journal. She said that over the last week she has tried to get a sense of what the County is required to
provide and to get to the bottom of the myth that is going around that if the County just said "no" to State
mandates that it could get away with it. She read from a letter from the Acting Commissioner of New
York State Social Services to Tompkins County Commissioner, Mary Pat Dolan in reference to inquiries
the Depaiinient has been receiving various proposals from counties to reduce costs of public assistance.
The letter stated that certain county actions may violate constitutional or statutory requirements and may
result in lawsuits, penalties, high financial penalties, damage awards, and in some instances the personal
liability of county officials. She also stated that Tompkins County is a member of the New York State
Association of Counties and will continue work towards mandate relief. Ms. Mink stated that Tompkins
County has been referred to as the poverty capital and mentioned a survey comparing social services costs
among other counties and Tompkins County was average in comparison. She also stated that she feels the
welfare costs are not too high, but rather wages are too low. Ms. Mink concluded by stating these issues
will not be resolved this evening but are things for people to think about.
Mr. Lerner, Representative, District No. 1, stated that County governments all over New York
State and all over the nation are in crisis. The recession, cuts in Federal and State aid, growing State
mandates and ballooning health care and insurance costs have put immense pressure on local taxpayers.
As a result this Board will hurt some people by cutting services and others by raising taxes. Every path
before the Board is painful and unfair to someone and tests the limits of wisdom to make those decisions
thoughtfully and justly. He stated that across the board funding cuts abandon any attempt to be
thoughtful, just or wise, and opposes them. He stated that many County programs are well planned and
well run and provide essential public services. A major reorganization of County government is long
overdue. In January there will be five new Board members, a new Chairman, new committee chairs and a
new party majority that will build on a system for change. Over the next four years the Board must revise
the budget process from the ground up, develop the tools for prioritization, thoroughly study State
mandates, grants and aid, distinguish between programs which succeed in their goals and those who only
have good intentions, identify programs that save dollars elsewhere, and eliminate red tape and
bureaucracy.
Mr. Todd, Representative, District No. 6, stated that on November 16 he asked for a public debate
on the Tompkins County budget. Mr. Todd thanked Mr. Proto for his support for this debate and
willingness to second the motion. Mr. Todd also thanked Wendy Skinner, Ithaca Journal Reporter, for
initialing and encouraging this public debate concerning the 1994 Tompkins County Budget. The causes
of the budget date back to 1989 when the recession stopped the sales tax revenue from increasing every
year and the yearly additions to the property tax roll dropped to one percent or less. County revenues are
flat as a result of those two items. A letter was received from Tompkins County Comptroller, David
Squires, dated November 24, 1993 showing depletion of the fund balance from 1989 of $3.7 million to
1992 when there was only $.6 million left. The County spent more than it had taken in. On December 1,
1992 Tompkins County's additional one percent sales tax went into effect and the increase will return to
327
December 7, 1993
the County a little of $5 million in 1994 but the County's spending projected in the budget increases about
$7.8 million over 1993. The County's budgets since 1989 have been driven by yearly increases of $1-2
million in mandated costs mostly from New York State and the these problems (the recession and ever
increasing State mandates) are not of the County's making and are beyond the County's control. Mr. Todd
stated that a family or business faced with this kind of dilemma would cut expenditures and that is what
he feels the County should do. The amendment he will present was prepared for him by Scott Heyman,
County Administrator, and will cut across the board to achieve a property tax increase of zero. Mr.
Heyman stated at the November 16 Board meeting this could be done. Mr. Todd stated that he believes if
this unpleasant task is not completed it will be much worse in future years and urged support for the
amendment.
Mr. Proto, Representative, District No. 7, stated that since Representative Todd announced the
amendment he will be proposing, much public debate has been stimulated and thanked everyone for their
input.
Mr. Joseph, Representative, District No. 12, stated that he has spoken to several people concerning
the proposed budget and for the most part people have been a lot more reasonable than they started out to
be. He said that he explained that he does not feel across the board cuts make any sense, not only because
they would hurt important services but because they would fail to cut spending. He said he feels
Representative Todd's proposed amendment will not result in reduced spending but rather a reduced
budget and several departments overspending their budget. He stated that he has promised that following
the adoption of the 1994 budget, he will work on doing the things that it takes to make rational and
reasonable cuts in the budget. He feels that this can be done with some careful thought and planning.

RESOLUTION NO. 173 - ADOPTION OF PISCAL PLAN FOR TOMPKINS COUNTY
GOVERNMENT
Offered by Mrs. Call, seconded by Mr. Todd.
WHEREAS, this Board of Representatives adopted and later amended
a Fiscal Plan for Tompkins County government for 1992 and 1993, and
wishes to amend and clarify said Plan and extend It to cover 1993 and
1994, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Fiscal Affairs and Budget and
Administration Committees, That the following Fiscal Plan for Tompkins
County government is hereby adopted to be in effect from the date of
adoption to December 31, 1994,
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
The purpose of this Plan is to maintain a sound and stable fiscal
position for County government, to address the problems created by
unfunded or under -funded mandates, and to restrain net local spending
while minimizing negative impacts on services wanted and needed by the
residents of Tompkins County.
1. FUND BALANCE STABILITY
Definition: An unrestricted Fund Balance consists of any funds'
in the possession of a governmental body which have not been appropriated
(approved for spending) or reserved for any purpose. Existence of an
unrestricted Fund Balance enables municipalities to respond to unforeseen
negative events and to "level out" the impact of those events on
taxpayers, service delivery recipients and employees.
For purposes of this resolution, the following are not in,:luded in the
unrestricted Fund Balance: Retirement Reserves; Construction Funds;
Health Premium Reserve; and the Self -Insurance Reserve.
Target: The target unrestricted Fund Balance for Tompkins County
government is established by this Fiscal Plan to be 5 percent of total
annual expenditures, net of Interfund expenditures and construction
expenditures paid with borrowed funds. The unrestricted Fund Balance
includes all County Fund Balances except the Airport Fund. (The Airport
Fund is maintained, in compliance with Federal Aviation Administration
regulations, only for Airport contingencies.)
The County Comptroller is charged with monitoring expenditures
and revenues throughout County government and with reporting to the
Budget and Administration Committee and the County Administrator during
May, July and monthly thereafter with respect to any projected shortfalls
or surpluses at year-end. The County Administrator shall recommend to
the Budget and Administration Committee appropriate action based on this
report.
2. UNFUNDED AND UNDERFUNDED MANDATES
Net local expenditures for Education of Handicapped Children;
Legal Defense of Indigents (payments to attorneys only); Social Services;
Jail personal services, fringe benefit and professional services costs;
and costs of County students attending other community colleges shall be
calculated separately from the remainder of the County budget and shall
be fully described and explained to the public at least yearly. These
strict legal mandates, imposed in every case by the federal government,
state government, the courts, or all three, shall not be included in
spending targets in 13 below.
Education of Handicapped Children: This Board and the appropriate
committee shall monitor the work authorized during 1992 to occur in 1993
in the Public Health and Social Services Departments aimed at increasing
the number of handicapped children in the least restrictive environment,
to their benefit and with the result of reducing costs. These two
departments are nharged with reporting at least quarterly to the Hoalth
and Education Conte ttee on the status of this initiative.
Jail Operations: In its actions in connection with the 1993 budget in
the Probation Department, this Board demonstrated its commitment to
reducing the population of the Tompkins County Jail without unreasonably
endangering the safety of this community. This Board directs the Public
Safety Committee and the County Administrator to consult with the Sheriff
of Tompkins County to develop recommendations that will ensure thatthe
boarding out of prisoners to other counties is kept to an absolute
minimum, that the transport of imprisoned persons to New York State
Psychiatric Hospitals is reviewed carefully for medical appropriateness,
and that the opportunities for boarding in of prisoners from other
counties are maximized. In addition' the Public Safety Committee is
charged with continuing to work with the Criminal Justice
Advisory/Alternatives to Incarceration Board to develop alternative:: t„
the use of the Tompkins County Jail that are appropriate.
Legal Defense of indigents: Upon receipt of a recommendation from the
Article 18 Task Force established in 1992 by this Board, this Board shall
authorize any changes in the current method of ensuring the provision of
effective counsel to indigent persons in criminal and family matters. By
this resolution this Board directs that a charge be developed to the
oversight body established or continued as a result of the above action
to pay serious attention to this Board's desire to ensure that reasonablo
steps are taken that will prevent the assignment of attorneys to persons
who are not indigent, that will maximize appropriate co -payments by
defended persons, and that will ensure that payments to attorneys air
accurate and appropriate.
Social Services: This Board ,o nti hies its support of initiative.
undertaken by ti- New fork State Association of Counties to reform the•
provision of social services and the proposal of the Governor of the
State of New York, supported by the New York State Association of
Counties, that the State of New York accept all fiscal responsibility for
provision of medical assistance to indigent persons, until that is done,
the Public•Health Department shall emphasize preventive health care
programs that improve public health and reduce County medicaid costs.
Community College Chargebacks: The cost to Tompkins County for Tompkins
County students to attend community colleges in other New York State
counties must by law be paid to the college that the student attends.
The County encourages Tompkins Cortland Community College to continue to
exercise its best efforts to minimize these chargebacks by attracting as
many Tompkins County and other students to the Community College as
possible.
3. STABILIZATIONI OE' NET LOCAL SPENDING
A. All expenditures and revenues in the remainder of the Tompkins County
budget shall be divided into the categories of community services,
education, general government support, health, human services, public
safety, public works (includes solid waste) and capital. The last shall
include debt service.
B. The Target Net Local Share for 1993 for all of the above -listed areas
of the County brtdgot shall be considered to be the figure indicated on a
document prepared by the Deputy County Administrator entitled 1993/1994
Fiscal Plan Target. N,tt Local Share Calculation and dated April 23, 1993.
£661 `L i/ga[3030
Clarification: "flet Local Share" as used in this resolution
means total spending authority of each department or account as listed in
the above- referenced documentprepared by the Deputy County
Administrator, after applicable departmental revenues and pro rata share
of unallocated revenues have been subtracted. A result of this is that
if total estimated unallocated revenues in 1994 increase, the Net Local
Share for all County spending will increase by that amount. In the event
that estimated proceeds of unallocated revenues decrease, the Net. Local
Share for all County spending decrease by that amount.
See, in addition, the provisions of 114 below which will have the
effect of reducing target net local shares of depart.ments and agencies
when so specified by the Board of Representatives.
C. During the preparation of the 1994 budget, net local share for the
eight (0) categories of the County budget listed above shall not increase
in the recommendations of the County Administrator nor the budget review
committees of this Board by a percentage rate greater than the rate of
inflation according to the figures available In July 1993 from the United
Stat,, Iwrenu of Labor Statistics, all Urban Wage tarior:: Ineie,x, for the
n' -r' rr:ccnt available 112) month period.
D. Program committees of this Board are authorized to approve two-year
11993 and 1994) spending plans that me.,I the avers1I wqpti rements of this
tee lution and of the 1992 Fiscal Plan.
E. The Net Local Share established for Tompkins Cortland Community
College under this resolution shall refer to the total sp,,nsor share
aPptopti.t l.eJ by Tompkins and Cortland Counties together. For example, 1f
the rate of inflation defined above is determined in July 1993 to be 3
per^ent, and the net impact of unallocated revenues does not increase or
decrease the net local share for the Community College (total Tompkins
and Cortland appropriation of new money) would increase at: 3 percent
above the College's previous year budget. In the event that the Tompkins
County share of student enrollments at the College increased or decreased
from the previous year's level, however, the Tompkins County target would
be increased or decreased by the dollar amount resulting from that, shift.
4. CONTINGENT FUND
It: is the intention of this resolution that departments and
agencies must accommodate unexpected expenditures with their own
previously appropriated funds. This Board will not entertain favorably
requests for Contingent Fund appropriations except in the mostextreme
circumstances.
Departments may request Contingent Fund appropriations for
expenditures from personal services and fringe benefit accounts for
terminal pay and replacement staff costs that, during a fiscal year,
exceed 25 percent of the department's 1992 budget reduction obligation.
Whenever there occurs a request, recommendation, or action
appropriating funds from the Contingent Fund or from any Fund Balance, it
must be specified whether the appropriation increases the target net
local share of the department or agency receiving the funds, and whether
any increase in the .target net local share increases the overall target
for County government as a whole, or whether, in the alternative, these
funds will he subtracted pro rata from the target net local share for all
departments and agencies for the ensuing fiscal year.
Whenever there is a request, recommendation or action in
connection with the budget that results in net local spending in excess
of the targets in this Fiscal Plan, the party requesting, recommending or
acting, must specify in writing the source of funds to pay for said
spending.
5. RE -APPROPRIATION OF UNSPENT FUNDS FROM PREVIOUS YEAR'S RESOLUTION
Resolution No. 339 of 1992, outlining a procedure for re -appropriation of
unspent funds from previous years, is reaffirmed in its entirety.
RESOLVED, further, That in any instance when a request is made
for funding in excess of the guidelines in this Plan, the request shall
provide information that specifically addresses each of the following:
a) The strength of public support for addressing the particular
need;
b) Appropriateness of County government involvement in addressing
the need, and the desirability of addressing the need through the use of
public or private resources;
c) Severity of the need for the service;
d) Probability of success of meeting the need based on the
management strength and approach of the provider department or
agency;
e) An inventory of other existing public and private services
available to meet the need to determine the extent of unmet needs and the
mix of prevention, intervention, remediation, and regulatory services
needed;
f) Number, dispersion, and demographic characteristics of those
experiencing the need, and
q) Potential impact of the program on the budgets of other County
departments.

Regular Meeting
Public Hearings
Chairman Watros called the first public hearing to order at 5:30 p.m. concerning proposed Local
Law No. 7 of 1993 - Imposing a Surcharge on Telephone Access Lines to Raise Revenues for the System
Costs Associated with the Creation of an Enhanced 911 Emergency Telephone System in Tompkins
County.
Chairman Watros asked if anyone wished to speak?
Peter Meskill, resident of Trumansburg and County Representative Elect, expressed his support for
an E911 system and stated that the residents of Tompkins County are asking for and support an E911
system. He said that it appears the E911 Task Force is now in agreement with the concept. He said the
potential to prevent another loss of a life far out weighs the relevant cost of an E911 system.
Harlin McEwen, City of Ithaca Police Chief, stated his support for the E911 system and the
collection of $.35 surcharge on telephones to support the implementation of an E911 system in Tompkins
County. Since the formation of the Task Force in April 1990, information has been gathered and
meetings with consultants have been held to provide technical advice. The Task Force has been studying
various aspects. Some members traveled to other counties to observe how E911 systems work. The Task
Force's primary objective was to work towards a system designed to meet the needs of Tompkins County.
The Task Force also agreed that the cost should not be the initial factor in identifying what a system
should consist of. He also said the Task Force received confirmation that there was a commitment to
support the implementation of an E911 system in the County. The discussion included 1) the elimination
of duplicate road names and addresses; 2) recognition and commitment to hire additional personnel to
maintain the necessary up-to-date data base of new telephone numbers and name and address changes;
and 3) recognition and commitment to hire additional dispatching call taking personnel to adequately
handle the new system. He assured the Board that there is not a dispute between fire and police agencies
as has been expressed through the media. He has the highest regard for fire and police agencies.
Although there has been significant progress, the Task Force has a lot of work to do to make a
recommendation on a system to the County Board. He feels the Board should move forward to collect a
surcharge in order to minimize the impact on the taxpayers and maximize the funds available to purchase
the necessary equipment.
Michael Lane, Resident of Dryden and County Representative Elect, spoke in favor of adding a
surcharge to telephone bills for the creation of a fund for an E911 system. He said during his campaign
he spoke to many people about E911 and almost all were in favor of the idea of 911. He feels the
surcharge is the right direction toward implementing a 911 system, however, he has some reservations
with an enhanced system.
Jack Miller, Fire, Disaster and EMS Coordinator, said he has worked for the County for 22 years.
He spoke in favor of the surcharge and feels it is the final step to automate and complete a system for
Tompkins County.
Lou Withiam, Chairman, E911 Task Force Chairman, said the committee has worked hard for
three years and is ready to move forward. He urged the passage of the surcharge. He is confident that the
E911 surcharge will bring in an outstanding E911 system to Tompkins County.
Doug Foster, City of Ithaca Planning Department, said he supports the concept of a 911 system.
He expressed some concerns about the process. He said he has been working on a base map capital
project program with NYSEG (New York State Electric and Gas), Tompkins County, Cornell University,
City of Ithaca and Town of Ithaca. The project has been very successful in the creation of an extremely
accurate map which has prepared us to move forward with creating a Geographic Information System
438
December 21, 1993
(GIS). He feels the E911 system is an information system and should be considered part of a county -wide
GIS because of functionality and it is extremely expensive to develop maps separately. He hoped that all
departments (Planning, Data Processing, police and fire) would be included when a 911 system is
implemented.
No one else wished to speak and the public hearing was closed at 5:46 p.m.
Chairman Watros called the second public hearing to order at 5:47 p.m. concerning proposed Local
Law No. 8 of 1993 - A Local Law of the County of Tompkins, State of New York, Requiring Submission
of Assigned Counsel Vouchers for Payment Within Ninety Days of Completion.
Chairman Watros asked if anyone wished to speak?
No one wished to speak and the public hearing was closed at 5:47 p.m.
Chairman Watros called the third public hearing to order at 5:48 p.m. concerning proposed Local
Law No. 6 of 1993 - Flow Control of Solid Waste and Haulers Licensing.
Chairman Watros asked if anyone wished to speak?
No one wished to speak and the public hearing was closed at 5:48 p.m.
Members and guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Present: 14 Representatives. Excused: 1 (Representative Schuler).
The Clerk of the Board read the following resolution adopted unanimously by the Village of
Freeville into the record:
RESOLUTION IN APPRECIATION OF ROBERT WATROS
WHEREAS, Robert Watros has served the Village of Freeville since January 1974, as County
Representative of District 14, and
WHEREAS, Robert Watros has represented the Village, and the County as a whole, with
competency, dedication and commitment and has always been available for advice, help and concern for
the needs of our district, be it therefore,
RESOLVED, that the Village of Freeville expresses their thanks and appreciation to Robert
Watros for his contributions and be it further
RESOLVED, that the Village Board wishes Mr. Watros much happiness and best wishes for his
retirement.
I, Elizabeth Brennan, Clerk-Treas. of the Village of Freeville, DO HEREBY CERTIFY that the
foregoing resolution is a true copy of a resolution duly adopted by the Village Board of the Village of
Freeville at a regular meeting of said Board on the 7th day of Dec. 1993.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the official seal of the Village
of Freeville to be hereunto affixed this 7th day of Dec. 1993.
Elizabeth Brennan, Village Clerk -Treasurer
Under privilege of the floor, Barbara Blanchard, City of Ithaca and County Representative Elect,
reiterated that she is not a supporter of Tompkins County's solid waste programs and activities. She
spoke in opposition to the resolution on the agenda entitled "A Resolution Authorizing the Issuance of
$6,000,000 Serial Bonds of the County of Tompkins, New York, to Pay the Cost of the Construction of a
Solid Waste Central Processing Facility on Land Owned by the County and Located on Commercial
439
December 21, 1993
Avenue in the City of Ithaca". She requested postponing action on the resolution until the Supreme Court
has determined whether or not the flow of waste can be controlled to said facility.
Under privilege of the floor, Bob Day, Village of Dryden Mayor, recognized Robert Watros. He
has represented the Village for 20 years. Previous to his service on the County Board, he served as
Mayor of the Village and a Village trustee. He stated that Mr. Watros played an important in the
development of the Senior Housing Corporation or known as Willow Brook Manner, was active in the
Dryden Spirit 66 Bicentennial Celebration, and he and his wife, Joan, became adoptive grandparents of a
number of senior citizens in the Village. He presented Mr. Watros with a plaque from the Village.
Under privilege of the floor, Jeff True, former Member of the Board of Representatives, said he
realized that this was the last meeting for five long-time legislators (Mary G. Call, Donald J. Culligan,
James A. Mason, Phil Shurtleff and Robert I. Watros), and felt it was necessary to recognize each one for
their years of public service. He reflected back on each retiring members' contributions to the Board and
the people of Tompkins County and presented gag gifts which characterized their personality during their
tenure.
Mr. Proto, Chairman, Health and Education Committee, said much of the committee's actions are
reflected on the agenda. In addition to the business reflected on the agenda, the committee discussed HIV
counseling and AIDS testing. The committee also discussed the preliminary five-year master plan for the
Health Department. He reported on the surplus funding the State is requesting the Health Department to
repay. He also reported on rabies. As of the first of November, 57 rabid animals were confirmed in
Tompkins County. Presently, 100 people have been treated with post exposure rabies vaccines. He
announced two mis-statements. One, the 10 physicians participating in the Cornell Medical College will
be housed at the Hospital not Cornell University and second, the cost of psychiatric treatment at the
Hospital is $150 per day. He said he was contacted yesterday by Albany and told that this region will
receive $13 million as a result of a new mental health bill that was passed. The redistribution of funds is
because of the closing of the Psychiatric Units across the State. He said the committee also received an
update on Children with Special Care Needs. The next meeting is December 28 at 10:30 a.m.
Mr. Evans, Chairman of the Personnel Committee, said the committee has met twice. He would
like to request an executive session at the appropriate time to discuss contract negotiations and
confidential and management salaries. He stated that the reason the mental health funds are so low is
Willard Psychiatric Center will not be closed until the State decides what to do with the buildings and at
that time Tompkins County will receive additional funds.
Ms. Mink, Chairman of the Human Services Committee, said she did not have a report.
Mr. Mason, Chairman, Public Safety Committee, said the committee has not met. He thanked
Chairman Watros for allowing him to Chair the committee. He chaired the Public Safety Committee
twelve years out of fifteen.
Mr. Stein, Chairman of the Planning Committee, said the committee met December 14. He said
the committee received two reports: final report on water resource committee and a progress report from
Cornell University students about the economic situation in Tompkins County. A final report will be
presented to the Planning Committee in January.
Mr. Winch, Chairman, Public Works and Construction Management Committee, said he did not
have a report, but the committee's business is reflected on the Board agenda. The next meeting is
December 29.
Mr. Todd, Chairman, Fiscal Affairs Committee, said he did have a report.

December 21, 1993
Mr. Lerner, Chairman of the Solid Waste and Resource Management Committee, said the
committee met last week and several resolutions passed by the committee are reflected on the Board
agenda.
Mr. Livesay, Intergovernmental Affairs, reported on a meeting she held with the town supervisors
and village mayors regarding cable franchising and illegal dumping. The meeting was very successful
and both issues are moving forward.
Mrs. Call, Chairman of the Budget and Administration Committee, said the committee met
December 14 and a number of resolutions passed by the committee are reflected on the Board agenda. In

TOMPKINS COUNTY
POLICY ON CONFLICT OF INTEREST
Tompkins County serves the community, and in doing so, operates in a role that calls for a high
degree of community trust. Because the County's activities are subject to public scrutiny, conscientious
efforts must be continually taken to maintain the confidence of the community and to avoid circumstances
which might lead to harmful conflict of interest and lesser credibility in government.
Therefore, it is the policy of Tompkins County that its elected officials and key employees
(hereinafter collectively referred to as "representatives") should not, on behalf of the County, engage in
any business or professional activity with persons or organizations where that activity might result in
personal benefit to the County representative, and thereby result in a conflict of interest.
County representatives should not accept gifts, monies, entertainment or other gratuities of
significant (more than $25.00 in one year from one who propose to enter, or who have already entered
into a business or professional relationship with the County or otherwise deal preferentially with suppliers
and others where personal gains accrue to the representative.
County representatives shall exercise their best judgment for the benefit of the County and shall
refrain from being influenced by personal considerations of any kind in the performance of their duties.
County representatives shall avoid employment, investments and personal interest which may
work to the disadvantage of the County.
Pursuant to this policy, County representatives shall be required to file an annual disclosure
statement with the Tompkins County Board of Ethics.
This policy is not intended to prohibit County representatives, where such interests or transactions
are not otherwise prohibited by law, from furnishing services, merchandise, equipment or supplies to
Tompkins County pursuant to an arms -length agreement or contracts for fair and reasonable
consideration. However, all such contract arrangements or transactions and the terms thereof must be
fully disclosed to the County Attorney and shall be at all times available for examination by the Board of
Ethics.

RESOLUTION NO. 360 - A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF $6,000,000
SERIAL BONDS OF THE COUNTY OF TOMPKINS, NEW YORK,
TO PAY THE COST OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF A SOLID
WASTE CENTRAL PROCESSING FACILITY ON LAND OWNED
BY THE COUNTY AND LOCATED ON COMMERCIAL AVENUE
IN THE CITY OF ITHACA
Moved by Mrs. Call, seconded by Mr. Lerner. Mr. Lerner stated that New York State Department
of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) has made available Statewide grants for solid waste disposal
projects. He said NYSDEC encouraged Tompkins County to apply. He distributed and described an
outline of the projected solid waste budget for 1995 with and without the Recycling and Solid Waste
Center. He stated that if the County does not move forward with the Recycling and Solid Waste Center
project, the annual cost will be $750,000 more. He addressed the question raised some time ago about
what the cost would be if the Board abandoned said project. He said the longer the County waits, the
more it will cost. He said the next major step in the process is to sign the Notice to Proceed with CRInc.
at which point the project must be completed within 390 days. Although, the following steps must be
taken before signing the Notice to Proceed: the Bond resolution must be approved and a re -review of
various hydrogeological factors on the site. However, due to complications, the January 9 deadline to sign
449
December 21, 1993
the Notice to Proceed as stated in the contract was unable to be met. The contract states that if the Notice
to Proceed was not signed by January 9 a cost of living increase kicks in that would cost the County about
$300,000. But due to technical complexity with the geological work, CRInc. has agreed to waive the cost
of living increase. Also the County needs the revised permit from New York State Depail,►ient of
Environmental Conservation before signing the Notice to Proceed.
Mr. Culligan spoke in opposition and said he would like to table this resolution to the January 4
Board meeting to allow the newly elected Board to vote on the resolution. His concern is the ruling by
the Supreme Court on flow control which could be a million dollar problem.
Mr. Lerner responded by stating that not building a recycling center does nothing to solve the
problem of flow control. What flow control does is permits the County to charge a higher than market
rate for tipping at the transfer facility. This allows the County to use the trash disposal to subsidize other
areas of the program. If flow control is thrown out, the County will have to find other methods for paying
for the program.
It was Moved by Mr. Culligan, seconded by Mr. Proto, to Table this resolution to the January 4
Board meeting. A roll call vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 3 (Representatives Culligan, Proto and
Shurtleff); Noes - 11; Excused - 1 (Representative Schuler). Motion Lost.
Mr. Lerner clarified the reasons why it is important to continue with the direction the County has
taken. He said new laws and regulations require counties to dispose of solid waste in an environmentally
safe manner. He said solid waste disposal is immensely more expensive than it used to be whether
handled through the public or private sector. He explained again briefly the scenario if the County did not
build the Recycling and Solid Waste Center and flow control is thrown out.
Following further discussion, a roll call vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 11; Noes - 3
(Representatives' Culligan, Proto and Shurtleff); Excused - 1 (Representative Schuler). Resolution
adopted.
WHEREAS, the Capital Project hereinafter described has been determined to be a Type I Action
pursuant to the provisions of the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act and the regulations
of the Depai huent of Environmental Conservation promulgated pursuant thereto; a Final Environmental
Impact Statement has been prepared in connection therewith; and such Findings and Final Environmental

A LOCAL LAW AUTHORIZING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN ANNUAL SOLID WASTE
FEE FOR REAL PROPERTY IN TOMPKINS COUNTY (AMENDED BY LOCAL LAW NO. 5
OF 1993 AND LOCAL LAW NO. 1 OF 1994) (REPEALED BY LOCAL LAW NO. 5 OF
1994)
Be it enacted by the Board of Representatives of the County of Tompkins as follows:
Section I. Short Title.
This law shall be known as the annual solid waste fee local law.
Section II. Findings.
The Board of Representatives of Tompkins County finds that:
A. The New York State Solid Waste Management Plan (the "Plan") and the Solid Waste
Management Act of 1988 (the "1988 Act") mandates that the amount of solid waste generated and
disposed of in New York State be managed through the establishment of programs to reduce the amount
of waste being produced and to then further reduce the amount of waste needing disposal by recycling
and reusing the elements of the waste stream that can feasibly be so recovered.
B. The Plan and 1988 Act also charge the County, as the designated planning unit, with the
responsibility to comprehensively plan the long term solid waste management and disposal needs of the
residents of the County and to then arrange for and supervise the implementation of such local solid
waste management plan.
C. The Plan and 1988 Act further require that landfills that do not meet modern state-of-the-art
standards for environmentally safe landfills be closed and then monitored so as to reduce the potential
that such older facilities might harm the environment.
D. The County has undertaken a number of programs pursuant to the mandates of the Plan and
1988 Act, which provide services to the residents of the County and serve to implement the proposed
local solid waste management plan, including but not limited to recycling programs for the collection,
processing, transporting and marketing of recyclable materials; the closing and monitoring of the Caswell
and Hillview Road Landfills, in accordance with directives of the Department of Environmental
Conservation ("DEC"); the investigation and initial planning of a new landfill; the development of a
recycling and solid waste center to process recyclable materials and municipal solid waste generated by
County residents; the operation of a transfer station and the transportation and disposal of solid waste
generated by County residents; and the educational and administrative services attendant to these services
and facilities.
E. The Board of Representatives has determined as a matter of public policy that the cost of
providing such services should be borne by the generators of solid waste and recyclable materials, who
are the users of the services and facilities being provided.
F. The County has further determined that funding the services and facilities by charges of tipping
or gate fees at the County's transfer facility will raise these tipping or gate fees to unacceptable levels.
Section III. Purposes.
This law is enacted pursuant to the laws of the State of New York, including Municipal Home Rule
Law Section 10 (1)(ii)(a)(9-a) and County Law Section 226-b, to:
Institute a plan to charge users of recycling, solid waste and related
services and facilities provided by the County, a fee for the use of such
534
Tompkins County Proceedings
services and facilities, which fees shall cover the cost of the services being
provided, and which fees shall be charged on an equitable basis, related to
the level of recycling and solid waste services available to the class of
users.
Section IV. Definitions and General Provisions.

A LOCAL LAW AMENDING LOCAL LAW NO. 1 OF 1993 - AUTHORIZING THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF AN ANNUAL SOLID WASTE FEE FOR REAL PROPERTY IN TOMPKINS
COUNTY (AMENDED BY LOCAL LAW NO. 1 OF 1994) (REPEALED BY LOCAL LAW NO. 5 OF
1994)
Be it enacted by the Board of Representatives of the County of Tompkins as follows:
SECTION I. Short Title.
This Local Law shall be known as the Amendment to the Solid Waste Fee Local Law.
SECTION II. Findings.
The Board of Representatives of Tompkins County finds that:
A. Local Law No. 1 of 1993, Authorizing the Establishment of an Annual Solid Waste Fee for
Real Property in Tompkins County contains a provision that beginning in 1994 the said Fee must be
collected without interest or penalty only during the month of January.
B. The County has determined that although the Annual Solid Waste Fee must continue because it
raises substantial revenue it is unreasonable to collect said fee only five calendar months after it was
previously collected.
SECTION III. Purpose.
This Law is enacted to amend Local Law No. 1 of 1993, Authorizing the Establishment of an
Annual Solid Waste Fee for Real Property in Tompkins County to change the time period during which
the fee may be paid without interest or penalty from January to August.
In all other respects Local Law No. 1 of 1993 remains unchanged.
SECTION IV. Amendment.
Local Law No. 1 of 1993 is hereby amended as follows:
In Section VIII, in each and every place where the word "January" appears, the word "August"
shall be substituted.
SECTION V. Effective Date.
This Local law shall be effective immediately upon filing with the Secretary of State.

AND REGULATIONS) (Supersedes Local Law No. 3 of 1992)
Be it enacted by the Board of Representatives of the County of Tompkins as follows:
Section I. Short Title.
This law shall be known as the flow control of solid waste and haulers licensing law.
542
Tompkins County Proceedings
Section II. Purposes.
This law is adopted pursuant to the laws of the State of New York to:
A. Advance the implementation of a plan for the management of solid waste generated,
originated, or brought within the County of Tompkins, to promote the safety, health and well-being of
persons and property within the County of Tompkins; and
B. Allow for the equitable payment of solid waste management costs by those responsible for
generating the solid waste and thereby foster waste reduction, recycling and integrated solid waste
management; and
C. Carry out the policy of the State to foster efficient solid waste management and disposal
organized and administered by the County as the appropriate planning unit; and
D. Foster the State legislative purpose of encouraging the development of economical and
environmentally sound projects for the present and future collection, treatment and management of solid
waste.
Section III. Legislative Findings.
A. The County currently owns and operates a transfer station and anticipates owning and
contracting for the operation of a transfer station in the foreseeable future.
B. Requiring the delivery of all acceptable solid waste to a designated facility or facilities allows
the County to ensure that regulated recyclable materials are being separated from solid waste and that
solid waste does not contain hazardous waste or other harmful products.
C. By requiring the delivery of acceptable solid waste to a designated facility or facilities the
County can ensure that solid waste is disposed of in an environmentally safe manner and at an
environmentally safe location.
D. Requiring the delivery of all acceptable solid waste to a designated facility or facilities allows
the County to accurately determine the quantity of solid waste generated in the County, and, thereby,
allows the County to plan accordingly and to accurately meet reporting requirements.
E. By requiring the delivery of acceptable solid waste to a designated transfer station, the County
can ensure to a designated transfer station, the County can ensure that the waste is loaded into vehicles
suitable for economical and environmentally sound transportation.
F. By requiring the delivery of solid waste to a particular facility or facilities the County can
collect fees from the producers of solid waste and, thereby, encourage the reduction of solid waste.
G. Solid waste that is loaded into transfer trailers at a transfer station for shipment may
economically travel a greater distance than solid waste which is not reloaded at a transfer station and,
therefore, the reloading of solid waste encourages and facilitates the transportation of solid waste in
interstate commerce.
Section IV. Definitions.
Acceptable Solid Waste means all solid waste generated, originated or brought within the County
other than waste that is defined herein as hazardous waste, unregulated recyclable materials, regulated
543
Tompkins County Proceedings
recyclable materials, or unacceptable waste. "Acceptable Solid Waste" shall exclude solid waste
