Discuss and consider 2020 Association of Towns' Resolutions and consider designation of 2020 Official Delegate and Alternate Delegate for the New York State Association of Towns 2020 Annual Meeting (Attachment 1) Mr. Goodman noted that if any language changes are wanted to the resolutions themselves, they would need to be done tonight. Mr. DePaolo turned to the resolution regarding cannabis sales and it seems to give an opt -out option for allowing it, but not giving up the right to the revenue produced from the activity. Mr. Levine thought that was a good point. Mr. Howe reminded the board that this is the time to submit specific language changes to the AOT. Mr. DePaolo focused on the second resolved clause "revenue sharing to help fund town programs and functions impacted by such legalization." saying it is not a hard peg, but asked if the implication is there that every town in NYS is going to be impacted whether or not they allow cannabis operations within their borders or are they saying that for those municipalities do incorporate operations, they want an offset in terms of revenue? Ms. Hunter thought the impacts they identify are a bit presumptuous, but she could understand that they want the revenue distributed to all municipalities rather than just the municipalities that have the dispensaries in them. There is a fair amount of money to be made from this, but how it gets distributed throughout the State is a mystery. TB 2020-01-13 Pg. 12 Mr. Goodman said in reading the explanation, he was thinking some of the revenue sharing might be related to counties that do not share sales tax with their municipalities. It might be geared toward the sales tax that we have an agreement for with our county, but some do not. He didn't think it would affect us in this county, but maybe others. Ms. Leary and Mr. Levine questioned and disagreed on the stated presumptive increased costs such as policing. Mr. Levine thought those costs might go down. Discussion followed and since there is no concrete language change, the board moved on to the next topic. Ms. Bleiwas noted the Criminal Justice Reform resolution which lists misdemeanors and bail and they are encouraging that the list be expanded, and she was hoping it would not. If we want true and meaningful bail reform, it seems to be a clash between the progressives and the law enforcement. She would ask them to remove that section, the second resolved. Mr. DePaolo thought the fifth whereas would also need to be changed. He added that he didn't like the whole resolution, feeling that it is pushing back on the current reform. Ms. Leary said she thought this had a point, with some of the crimes that they list. She thought some of those were not necessarily non-violent such as child pornography and animal cruelty and she liked the idea of rethinking some of those particular crimes and allowing more discretion from judges. Ms. Leary said she thought she was in favor of reforms, but when you look at some of the crimes, she didn't think so and she would be in favor of looking at some of the charges that are exempted now. Ms. Hunter said she doesn't know enough about this to comment, but procedurally, if you want language changes, and if we don't have enough time to draft those, she would could comment on them at the voting of the resolutions where delegates are allowed to make a statement and if someone more familiar with the topic wants to write something, she would be happy to stand up and read it. She said the worst case scenario is even if it gets approved, language changes can be submitted the following year following the prescribed process they have. Mr. Goodman added that there is an informational meeting Wednesday morning and we could express thoughts then. He suggested the Board think about it and work on it at the study session. The Board agreed and moved the resolution, removing the references to the AOT Resolutions. TB Resolution 2020 - 011: Naming of Official Delegate and Alternate for the Year 2020 to the New York State Association of Towns Annual Meeting TB 2020-01-13 Pg. 13 Whereas, the NYS Association of Towns Annual Meeting will be held in New York City and Whereas, the Town of Ithaca is a member in good standing with the NYS Association of Towns and is eligible to have voting rights at the said meeting and Whereas, it is necessary for the Town Board to appoint an Official Delegate and Alternate who will have voting rights on behalf of the Town of Ithaca at the said meeting and Whereas, the Town Board has reviewed the Reported Resolutions from the Association of Towns of the State of New York received on January 2, 2020, now therefore be it Resolved, that the Town Board of the Town of Ithaca hereby appoints Tee -Ann Hunter as the Official Delegate and Bill Goodman as the Alternate Official Delegate on behalf of the Town of Ithaca at the 2020 NYS Association of Towns Annual Meeting.

Discuss and consider authorization for the Town Supervisor to sign annual service contracts approved in the Town Budget on behalf of the Town The budget amendment for the JYC was moved up. Mr. Solvig explained that the County doesn't usually get us a final number in time, and we do an amendment when we get it. TB Resolution 2020-017: Budget Amendment — Amending the 2020 Ithaca Town Budget for Joint Youth Commission Programs Whereas, the Town values highly its Youth Programs for the many benefits provided for the Town's young people; and Whereas, the Joint Youth Commission (JYQ has ably facilitated many of the Town's youth programs for many years; and Whereas, the Town has received a communication from the JYC requesting an amendment to the 2020 Ithaca Town Budget to 1) increase the budget for the JYC Youth Programs from the adopted total of $200,695 to an amended total of $203,695, and 2) to increase the budget of the Youth Development Program by $3,000, and increase the County share by $3,000; now, therefore, be it Resolved, that appropriations for Joint Youth Commission Programs in the 2020 Ithaca Town Budget be amended as follows: • General Townwide Fund — Expenditures - Account A7320.465: Youth Development Program (Cornell Cooperative Extension) is increased from $49,120 to $52,120. TB 2020-01-13 Pg. 14 and be it further Resolved, that revenues for Joint Youth Commission Programs in the 2020 Ithaca Town Budget be amended as follows: • General Townwide Fund — Revenue - Account A2350: Youth Services - County is increased from $70,470 to $73,470. Moved: Rich DePaolo Seconded: Pamela Bleiwas Vote: ayes — DePaolo, Levine, Hunter, Howe, Goodman, Leary and Bleiwas Mr. DePaolo asked about the status of the arrangements with Babe Ruth League and whether there have been times when residents want to use the field and it has been taken by the League. Mr. Weber responded that there have been issues due to weather related rescheduled games and families have reserved the field and we ask the family if they want to use the field. Mr. DePaolo said he was just curious if families have not been accommodated due to a make-up game. Mr. Weber said he will get more information from Mr. Talbut. Mr. DePaolo asked if the issues rise to the level of pulling this contract or have they been manageable? Mr. Weber responded that they have been manageable. Mr. DePaolo turned to the legal services contracts and he would like to see the actual amounts. Mr. Solvig said he made a spreadsheet on the amounts and hours and he will send that out. Mr. Levine added that this is an approval of the contract, but we decide how the town uses its legal services in order to control those rates. He said right now we have Ms. Brock going to various meetings, and it is up to us whether we want to continue that. He thought that is really the part that can be analyzed; what are we spending it on, not so much who or the contract. Mr. DePaolo said he agrees with that to a point, and ultimately, we need legal services and the outstanding question has always been in-house or out -of -house and at some point we are going to have to have that discussion and analysis. He added that he is perfectly happy with our legal services, it is just a question of how to manage expenses over the long term. Mr. Goodman said if there is interest in looking at that question, maybe the Budget Committee could be asked to do an analysis. We do put a figure in the budget every year and he said he has always been interested in how we can charge developers for various legal services.

Background `[his resolution is modilled from the highway administration resolution included in AOT's 2019 Legislative n Program to include call for the new NYSDOTcapital plan to address local I-OaLIS and bridges and drafted from a resolution from the Supervisors Forum of Eric COLInty. Five -Year Capital Plan and Funding: the current five-year NYSDO'F Capital Program is set to expire in 2020. It currently includes wo sliort-term local funding programs (PAVE -N)' and BridgeNY) that supplement the loncy-standina Consolidated I tighway Improvement Program (C 1-1 IPS), which provides dedicated qUarterly state D I I I flindingLo towns for local highways and bridges. The 2019-2020 State Bud et inchided$100million fear the PAVE'- NYrograrn, $100 million for the BridgeNY programa; $39.7 million for the Nlarchiselli Program and $438.1 p million for CHIPS. 'lliere is also [lie Extreme 'vVinter Recovery Fund, which was initially omitted frons the stale budget but N�,as included at the end of session and funded at $65 million. I Local governments are responsible for the maintenance and care of nearly 90 percent of New York's roads and bridees. In 2013, the New York State Association of Town Hi(TIINVay Superintendents released a 20 -year needs 0 0 assessment of local hi'ghwvav and bridge infrastructure, eshi-nating that over the next 15 years, local pavement needs will total $31-95 billion, and local system bridge needs will total $2.85 billion. According to this study, local governments should be receiving an additional $1.3 billion annually in highway funding to address the need and usage patterns. Additionally, the New York State Cmmptrollers Office estimates that local governments should be ,spending $2.3 billion annually on roads and bridges. 0 Given that t(:mrns are responsible for so many of New York's roads, and bridges and Current funding levels fall short of their needs, it is critical to increase I undirio, projections for CHIPS, PAVE' -NY, Bridge -NY and MAIR in the rim N YSDOT capital plan. FLHIIICI-Inorc, while increased funding for local roads and bridges throulg h new short-term programs, such as PAVE -NY and BridgeNY, is appreciated, these are supplemental programs and not replacement programs for CHIPS. New York also receives funding from the federal F'AST Act, wliich is set to expire in 2020. the FAST Act provides transportation funding nationwide over a five-yearperiod. Renewal of this program is critical for the construction and maintenance of New York's transportation infraStRICWI-e. 'i�Ve also support direct federal funding to toNvIls in addition to the distribution off"Cderal funding to state departments of transportation. StattiLory Local LW Q- VOILMIC and MirdITIL1111 Maintcnance Roads: Designating roads as [ON' %V-OILIIIIC-' or ,,—S jiI2 or t for 111iflinIUM maintenance helps reduce costs for rural roads. In the absence of express statutory authority, many tolvi-Is have adopted local road standards 1)), local law, 'she need for state legislation has become more important as sorile lower courts have found that these locally adopted road standards that include limits on snowplowing services on rninirnUrn maintenance roads are inconsistent with seasonal limited -use road CICSignatiOnS Under Highway Law 0 205-c (see Weikel vs. lim,)i o 'West Turin et al Index No. CA2015-041 1; SUPITIne ("MUrt Lewis County JMarch 24 2016] reversed on statute of limitations, grounds 162 A.D.3d 1706 [4"' Dept. 20181). Legislation to formally codit"), the authority and procedure to designate low-volume and 411ininIL1111 maintenance roads (see e.g. A418 Gunther [MS]-, same as 52537 Griff0) has not been SUCCCSSfUlly passed, despite fervent support from several organizations. Increasing levy cap on ecJLai J)Inent funding,,: Highway Law 4 27](3)(a)(4) places a $60,000 firnit on how much towns, absent special legislation, can annual]), levy and collect to fund purchases ofvarious highway equipment and tools, 'fl -ie linlitation is on the ar)IOLML that can be raised by taxes, not the amount towns can spend (see Opns St Comp No. 82-172).'The town board can hold a referendum to increase the $60,000 limitation by referendum, but this is an additional expense for the town. `telae New York State Association of'fown Superintendents of Highways is seeking an increase in the taxing threshold to support the purchase of needed highway equipment. Resolution No. 3 Support Town Services and Operations by Increasing State Aid, Authorizing New Local Revenue Sources and Evaluating Mandates WHEREAS, towns are heavily dependent on real property taxes to fund town services and operations; and WHEREAS, towns have limited Sources of revenue and are excluded from some currently afforded to cities, counties and villages, such as hotel occupancy taxes, sales taxes and gross receipts taxes; and WHEREAS, towns have been forced to take measures like Cutting services, reducing the workforce, and delaying much needed repairs to municipal water and sewer systems, stormwater facilities and other infrastructure in an attempt to stay under the 2 percent tax cap; and WHEREAS, unrestricted state aid provided to n-lUnicipalities through AIM was eliminated and replaced by county sales tax for 90 percent of towns in 2019, and the state revenue sharing that stilt exists has not been increased in over a decade; and WHEREAS, state and federal unfunded mandates increase the cost to provide local services; and WHEREAS, the Governor and the New York State Legislature support the reduction of real property taxes and having other sources of funding, and increases to state funding assistance would reduce localities' reliance on property taxes; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Association of Towns calls on the state Legislature and the Governor to support town services, through means such as, but not limited to, providing and increasing unrestricted state aid and providing dedicated infrastructure funding; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Association of Towns calls on the Governor and the Legislature to enact legislation providing towns with more revenue sources, like having the option to impose a local hotel or motel occupancy tax, sales taxes and gross receipts taxes; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Association of Towns calls on the Governor and the Legislature to require thorough local fiscal impact notes that evaluate the cost of implementing legislation affecting towns and to provide funding and resources to cover those costs. Background "this resolution combines several resolutions included in AOT's 2019 Legislative Program and was submitted by the Supervisors Forum of Eric County, Towns face an increasing number of financial hurdles. Real property tax is the primary source of revenue for towns and funds most town services; hwvever, towns are encouraged to stay Under a state -imposed 2 percent tax cap all while being asked to do more by the state, provide essential services in the community, and manage and repair crurnblina infrastructure. '11-terefore, this resolution asks for three funding -related items that would Support Lown services and operations and help reduce property taxes while improving the standard of New York living. Z�* Provide for and increase stateJundimy for towns: The 2019-2020 state budget eliminated ATIVI for 90 percent of towns and replaced it with "AIM --related payinefiLS" funded by County sales tax, and those towns who continued to receive AIM saw no increase. Furthermore, towns provide critical water and sewer services, but our infrastructure is in dire need of repair and is grossly underfunded — the Department of Health estimates $38 billion of repairs for drinking water infrastructure rastrUcture over the next 20 years to protect the public health and that 25 percent of wastewater treatment facilities are currently operating beyond Lheir 30 -year life expectancy. 'llie Department of Environmental Conservation also reported that it Would cost $36.2 billion over 20 years to repair, replace and update New York's aging wastewater infrastructure. More support from the state — either unrestricted aid or funding earmarked for infrastructure — will be needed if towns are to continue to be able to provide uninterrupted services and make crucial infrastructure improvements without relying so heavily on property taxes. Authorize new I-CVCIILie sources for towns: Counties, cities and villages all have revenue -raising abilities available to them that towns do not, including hotel Occupancy taxes, sales taxes and gross receipt taxes. A hotel/motel occupancy tax, commonly referred to as a bed tax, is a charge that a inunicipality can lace on room rentals I p within its jurisdiction. However, towns need special legislation giving them the option to impose an occupancy tax (see NYS Constitution Article XVI §1„ Ba14,in Union Free School Dist. v. County of Nassau, 22 NY3d 606 [2014]; Opris St. Cornp No. 83-218). Most towns that request such legislation are denied, as tile governor has evinced a preference for comprehensive tax reform rather than a piecemeal approach. Moreover, counties and cities have the authority to levy local sales taxes, but towns do not (Tax Law § 1262; Opus St Comp No. 90-3); 1976 N.Y. Op. Atty. Gen. No. 280), and counties are not required to share sales tax. Finally, cities and villages have the authority to impose a local gross receipts tax, which is a tax on the sale Of utility services originating and terminating within their jurisdiction. For purposes of this tax, a ittility is defined as "any person .,. subject to the supervision of the state department Of public service ... who sells gas, electricity, steam, water or refrigeration delivered through mains, pipes or wires ..." Authorizing these or any new revenue sources for towns would certainty lessen the need to rely oil real property taxes to fund town services, Require Fiscal Impact Notes: Unfunded mandates pose a significant burden to municipal budgets, and new mandates making budgeting particularly diflicult. Over the last few years, several bills have been introduced addressinc, unfunded state mandates, signifying g fying state lawmakers' awareness of exactly how mandates hinder a inunicipality's ability to operate and provide set -vices; however, none have been Successful to date. 0 mmwz��Iq Resolution No. 4 Support the Expansion of Cellular and Broadband Service while Preserving Local Authority WFIFIREAS, access to broadband Internet SCI'ViCe, Cellular service and advancing - 5G technologr y is essential fo public safety, commercial economic (YrOWth, our edUCa [ion systems and the overall well-being of our citizens; and , I 11> 0 WHE'RFI'AS, access to these services, is regarded as a basic infrastructure necessity of the 21st M)tL11-), PrOVidirlg a I means of access to information and communication for Citizens and businesses that is used by as growing percentage of the world's population; and WFIERI"AS, a lack of access to broadband Internet service and cellular service may depreciate property Values; and WHII'REAS, local officials must balance their constitutional duty to taxpayers to manage municipal growth and infrastructure in as safe, efficient and fiscally prudent manner with the needs ofprivatc industry; and WHEREAS, there have been state and federal legislative and regulatory initiatives to pre-empt local authority and I limit the ability of local governments to tax te]CCOMMUnications eqUipment; and I WHF,REAS, there are still significant areas of New York State without access to high-speed broadband or Cellular services because of geographic isolation, topographic conditions and/or low I)OPUlation density; NOW THERE -'FORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Association of Towns calls on the Governor and the state Legislature to continue to support broadband and cellular access and deployment through additional funding, legislative initiatives and programs while preserving local governments' authority over municipal infrastructure, siting decisions, fees and the time it takes to review applications as well as the ability to tax telecon-mitinications infrastructure as real property. Background This resolution combines various resolutions included in AOT's 2019 Legislative Program. This resolution looks to inaintain the local authority oftowns as they, grapple with various issues associated with the teleCOMMUnications industry, while also encouraging cellular and broadband development. For example, In T-Alobile Northeast, LLC vs. DeBellis, 32 NY3d 594 (2018), the NYS Court of Appeals upheld that various telecommunications data transmission equipment (such as base transceiver stations, antennas, and coaxial, T—i, and fiber optic cables) falls under the definition of taxable real property. Legislation was introduced in 2019 trying to circumvent this ruling but Ultimately stalled in the Assembly (see A8201/S651 1). In September 20 L9, Assemblywoman Sandy Chalet, chair of the Conimittee on Real Property laxation, requested that NYCON1, NYSAC, AOT and the NYS Assessors Association meet with various industry representatives to see if there was a mutually agreeable wNray to promote broadband and cellular development without unfairly depleting the tax base or pre-empting local government. A mecting took place on November 21, 2019 with another scheduled for I December 10, 2019. Furthermore, there is a 2019 FCC order currently being, litigated in tile 91�' CirCUit that is ail attempt to speed tip 5G cell service deployment, 'the order sicnificantly affects sillall cell antennas in the streets ail([ rights-of-way, leases I'Or cell tmvers oil municipal property generally, shot clocks, and fees charged for cell tower zoning and I - permitting. AlthOUgh ostensibly ain-led at 5G service, the rules cover all cell sites nationwide. A similar proposal Nvas included at the state level in the 2018 Executive Budget, so this resolution looks to stop state initiatives to institute the FCC order S1101.11(l it fail ill COUrt. Amend and Fund Criminal Justice Reforms WFIMEAS, the state budget enacted in 2019 included substantial criminal justice reforms, such as eliminating monetary bail for a significani number of criminal charges, and requiring prosecutors and police to turn 0VCl' relevant evidence within 15 days of arraignment; and these reforms apply to misdemeanors and violations, including , certain code violations, greatly impaw cting many ton departments and services, including but not limited to police, code enforcement, town pro,SCCL1t0l-S and town jUStiCC courts; and NVI-11RFAS, there are adi-ninistrative and implementation expenses towns Nvill incur in complying with these reforills; and �VFIERI`.AS, the state budget did not include any targeted flinding for town compliance with these criminal justice reforms; and WHERFAS, many of the criminal charges for which bail may not be set pose a significant threat to the health, safety and Nvelfare of the community, such as but 110t limited to, a terroristic threat, promoting a sexual I Makin -V 1) performance by a child, criminal sale of a controlled substance to a child, criminal possession of a weapon on school grounds, first-degree aggravated harassnient and third- and fourth -degree arson, aggravated cruelty to animals, and torturing, and injuring animals; NOW THEREFORE BE 11, 0 RESOLVED, that the Association of Towns calls on the Governor and Legislature to aniend Criminal Procedure Law to exempt the new discovery laws from applying to code violations and to extend beyond 15 days, the tune during which discovery must be produced; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Association of Towns calls on the Governor and Legislature to amend tile CPL to include more criminal charges with the list of qualifying offenses for which bail juay be set., specifically those that pose as danger to (lie safety of the public and individuals; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Association of Towns requests New York State to provide and support funding for towns to comply with criminal reforin requirements through, but not lin-ifted to, increasing justice court I fees, increasing JCAP grants or any other monetary assistance. Background X11 'i1111 103117;lIffs Me "11, this is a new resolution submitted by the towns of Glenville and Clarcdon. J he 2019-2020 slate budget imposed sweeping criminal justice reforms, including eliminating monetary bail for 11011 -qualifying offenses (misdemeanors and. non-violent felonies) and revising discovery requirements (See State BLidget Part j))-1,t,l,,). I With respect to bail, PITVi0USlyjUdges and justices were authorized to arse bail as a way to secLire a defendant's court appearance at a later date, but, Wider tile new laws, defendants charged with non -qualifying offenses must be issued all appearance ticket with a return date of'no later than 20 days, and released on their own recognizance oi- released Under the "least. restrictive non-illonetary conditions," The court must send a reminder about the appearance date, and if defendant fails to appear, another appearance ticket Must be issued. After repeated failures, a court may issue a bench warrant after waiting a period of .18 hours and providing notice to the defendant and defense counsel. fn addition to increased administrative costs for municipalities dare to the rievvr notification requirements all(] the possibility that court will have to be held more frequently to C0111ply with tile deadline can return dates for appearance tickets, concerns regarding what effect eliminating bail and restricting bench warrants will have on the reliability of defendants' appearances and public safety in general. As for the new discovery reform recinirements, prosecutors nlUst disclose "all items and information that relate to the subject of the case and are in the possession, custody; or control of the prosecution," including those in police possession, no later than 1.5 days after an arraignment oil an indictment. Towns have the option of imposing civil or criminal penalties for code violations (see Town Law § 267), and [lie new law is written in SLICII a way that it al -,)plies to code violations with criminal penalties as well as other misdemeanors Pl_0';eCUtcd in town court. '111LIS, for example, within 15 days after all arraignment oil a code violation, a code enforcement office is required to taar ra over evidence to defendant. 'I his also applies to police and town proseckitors, fueling concerns that towns and other jurisdictions do not have the resources to comply with these rules, and as as result, otherwise valid cases will be thrown out on a technicality, To address these concerns, this resolution asks tile state to extend tile types of crimes for which a judge or justice may set bail, extend the time period allowed to tum over evidence, specifically exempt code enforcement violations from new discovery rules and provide funding and financial assistance to institute these new mandates. Share Potential Cannabis Revenue and Support Local Option kVHEREAS 117 ,, New Yo�rk State has expressed interest in legalizing and regulating recreational, adult -use cannabis; and WHEIZF,,AS, towns, as the government closest to the people, are in the best position to determine what is in the best interest of the health, safety, and welfare of then- residents and exec ante the wants of the community; and WHEREAS, shonld New York legalize recreational, adult- use cannabis, towns will incur expenses in the form of, 112MMMUM but not lirnited to, increased police enforcement, code enforccnient arid lire protection; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Association of Towns calls on the Governor and the Legislature to ensure that any legislation legalizing recreational adult -use cannabis provides towns Nvith the choice of whether to allow cultivators, processors, distributors, dispensaries and any other cannabis -associated facilities to operate within their jurisdiction; and BF1' IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Association of Towns calls on the Governor and the Legislature to share any revenue derived from legalizing cannabis operations to help fund town programs and ftinctions impacted 1)), stela legalization. Background `1 his is a new resolution drafted from one submitted by the'fown of Claredono. In 2019, there Nvere proposals to legalize recreational adult -USC Cannabis in New York as part of the state budget. While the proposals authorized counties and cities with populations of more than .100,000 to opt out of allowing cannabis facilities within their boundaries, it provided no such Option for towns, Furthermore, while the proposals allowed (lie state to impose various taxes and fees and counties to impose sales tax, there was nothing requiring that this new revenue be shared with towns, despite the 1, act that towns will be on the frontline of providing set -vices related to adult use cannabis operations. 'llierefore, this resolution asks that lowris have the ability to opt in or opt out of allowing cannabis operations in their jurisdictions. "phis iscomparabletoliow alcohol and garries of chance are treated under the law, where there is the ability to opt in through permissive referenchini (see Alcohol and Beverage Law § 141) or mandatory referendum (see General N11inicipal Law L88)). 'I lie resolution also requests that revenue be shared wvith towns to offset any increased costs incurred by towns as an result of legalized cannabis use. Resolution No. 7 Comprehensive Real Property Tax Reform WHI'REIAS, local governi-rients currently serve in an economic chniate that presents a multitude of financial pressures via constitutional and state taxing constraints, coupled with either stagnant oi- altogether eliminated Z federal and state aid; and WHF,REAS, despite these constraints, towns strive to provide essential services to their residents, relying on real property taxes as the priniary source of revenue to finance these endeavors; and WHEREAS, in 2016, the value of real property tax exemptions outside of New York Cit�r totaled $457 billion, or approxii-nately one-third of the total property value in the state; and WHERl"'AS, non-exerript property 0WIM'S MLISt C0VCr the tax burden of all exempt properties, with this tax shift rendering New York State taxes highest artiong the hest in the country; and Z) V ' VHEREAS, NewFork State has primarily provided real prop ertytax relief through ad hoc props rtytax exemptions instead ofcomprehensive property tax reform, resulting in as tax shift that has increased rather than reduced tuxes; and WFIEIZE'AS, the real property tax cap fOrML11a contains inequities that penalize towns, and despite these inequities, was Made permanent as part of the 2019-2(120 Enacted State Budget; and 'vVHEIEAS, there is a national trend to use the "dark store theory" when assessing big box real property parcels, the consequence of which shifts the real property tax burden to the remaining taxpayers withill the jurisdiction, increasing their tax burden, NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Association of Towns calls on New York State to put as stop to ad hoc exemptions that eviscerate the tax base and lead to the highest taxes in the country; and BE IT FURTHER Z� RESOLVED, that the Association of Towns calls on the Governor and Legislature to adopt tax cap reforms, including removing barriers to shared services that would save taxpayer dollars, imposing a true 2 percent cap, removing infrastructure project costs from the calculation and allowing growth from PILOT and tax- exempt properties to be included in the tax cap calculation; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Association of Towns calls on the Governor and state Legislature to adopt legislation prohibiting the use of the (lark store theory as a valuation method in real property assessment.

However, municipalities can levy and collect real property taxes, only on taxable property; the more tax-exempt property there is in a municipality, the higher the taxes will be oil the non-exempt property owner. Despite statutory constrai tits, the state and courts continue to expand the number and type of propel -ties eligible for tax exemptions, which consequentially, will reduce the tax base and force municipal officials to cut vital services. flue state comptroller recently reported that, in 2016, property tax exemptions totaled $457 billion, or about. 30 percent, of the S1.5 trillion in total property value outside New York City. 'lliat is, non-exempt property owners, have to cover $457 billion in real property excniptions. 1he systemic erosion of [lie tax base through the granting of ad hoc exemptions has resulted in higher taxes as the burden is shifted to non-exempt owners, as well as as decrease in essential services as local governments struggle to do more with less. I lax Cp -)e made to the tax cap Cat Reform: Jhe Association ofTowns has identified simple adjustments that can I formula thatNVOLI]d remedy the inequities in the taxcap and allow towns and other local governments to implement the cap in as less deleterious manner. Specifically, local governments must reduce their tax levy Ifinit by anyamount of any savings realized from a transfer Of fUllCti011. Ultimately, this serves as a disincentive to share services, as any potential savings realized reduces that local governments levy limit and its ability to tax within the cap. 'the governor has largely been a proponent of shared services, as demonstrated by several of his recent legislative initiatives, so to achieve economy and efficiency, this disincentive Should be removed from the tax cap formula. Additionally, 'since its inception in 2011, the 2 percent tax cap has often been well below 2 percent. Now that the tax cap is permanent, we believe the cap should reflect as true 2 percent limit rather than lie determined by eCO11011liC 11LICILM0011S that care well beyond a local government's control, which would allow governments better longi -range budgeting and planning. Moreover, Low, -ns should be able 10 irlClUde growth from and tax- exempt properties in their lax, cal) calculations, Local governments experience increased costs and development associated Nvith UICSe properties that LISC and benefit from Municipal services, yet the growth froni these properties cannot be taken intra account When illlpOSillg tile tax cap formnla. A simple legislative fix would remedy (his obvious contradiction. A final consideration for the tax cap is to remove the costs associated with ill fraStrUCt.111-C PrOjCCtS f1,0111 the tax cap calculation, as this serves as as disincentive to take oil necessary projects, and additionally, at the tmvn level, these projects are subject to voter approval. Dark Store Assessments: Lastly, the Association Of TONVIIS SUpported a bill in the 2019 legislative session that addressed the "dark store theory" assessment issue that, if left Unaddressed, could significantly increase taxes in New York. Specifically, A4752 -B / S5674 prohibits the use Of the dark store theory when making assessment calculations, as this theory ultimately Unfairly reduces the assessment of' "fail; box" retailers by assessing thern similarly to vacant and abandoned properties; the reduced assessment results in lower taxes for the big box retailer while increasing the tax burden among the other properties in tile jUriSdiCtiOn. '11is legislation passed [lie Assembly ill 2019 but stalled in the Senate. 'lhis is as simple legislative fix that will have a real impact on real property taxes in New York. Resolution No. 8 Support Optional, Town -Initiated Justice Court Restructuring WHERF"AS, town justice courts provide essential functions in communities and make court services accessible and convenient; and WHl1R1;,AS, the Uniform justice Court Act and Town I.aw already offers different town- and resident -initiated options for consolidating justice COUrts and sharing town justices,' and INFIE'REAS, towns and their residents are in the best position to determine whether it is in the best interest of the community to consolidate justice courts; NOW THEREFOR1.11 BE IT RESOLVED, that the Governor and Legislature keep justice court consolidation and restructuring at local option and a locally initiated process. Background 'his is a new resOlUtion drafted by stafL, Periodically, there are calls to eliminate, reduce or consolidate local justice courts, and most recently in November 2019, (lie New York State Attorney General called for justice court reform and consolidation at as lel0lklaliVe public hearing0. However, these recommendations fail to, acknowledge that the Uniform justice Court Act and Town [,aw offer three different ways to restructure local COL111S, either b),' petition or town board initiative (see Uniform Justice Court Act §sS 106-a; 106-b; Town Law § 60-a). 'this resolution looks to preserve that authority rather than taking as top-dOWn approach WherCJUSOCC Court c0ns'Olidation and restructuring is mandated by the state, Resolution No. 9 Support Municipal Recycling Programs WHERl"AS, towns are required to have recycling programs; and I I towns also operate solid waste transfer stations and are therefore required to comply with nUITICI-OUS complicated state operating regulations, many of which pertain to recycled materials, and �,'FIEIZEIAS, significant changes to the world's recycling market have adversely affected the ability of most municipalities to sell most processed recycled materials, thus increasing the Costs Of running Municipal recycling 0 programs; and WHEIZEAS, some processed recycled materials still have value, which if removed fi-oni MUniCiPM recycling sLrearns, could place InUllidpal recycling programs in further financial stress; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Association of Towns calls for the Governor, the Legislature and interested state agencies to re-evaluate current laws, policies and administrative interpretations in order to relieve the growing costs of processing and disposing of recycling materials; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Association of'I'owns calls for New York State either to relieve mandates relating to recycling or provide local governments with funding that offsets the current losses incurred by municipalities that proper[), dispose of recycling materials; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that any, recycling initiatives, such as the expansion of the Returnable Container Act, avoid further imperiling municipal recycling prograrns by removing valuable material from municipal recycling streams or otherivise increase costs for municipalities. Background '111is, resolution is drafted front a resolution submitted by Lhe'Fown of Claredon and as resolution it) AOTs 2019 Legislative program. In 20 18, ( "hitia enacted the "National Sword. Policy," significantly limiting the types of processed recycled rnaterial it would accept from the U.S., thereby eviscerating the foreign market, Because they are no longer able to sell processed recycled materials, material recycling facilities (MRFs) with municipal contracts have had to recoup those losses by charging Lip to four times more than in 2018 and Municipal MRFs are no longer able to offset costs by selling processed recycled materials. 'flic end result is that municipal recycling programs, which local governments are required to have under General Municipal Law § 120 -aa, are significantly more expensive to run now, and ill soriie cases, it is actually cheaper to sci)(I materials to as laudlill; however, local goveriliucrits considering suspending their recycling programs need to Nvork with the Department of Environmental. Conservatioii before Lakint, forrrial action or risk legal repercussioris. "1 To address the recycling crisis, there are proposals to expaud the Returnable Coii[airier Act (colloquially referred to as the Bottle Bill) to include more types of containers. I lowever, ulau)' 1111.111iCipali ties are still able to sell certaiti types ol'processed recycled iiiaterials, atid therefore, expaudirig the Bottle Bill to remove prolitable recyclable materials will further U11del-MilIC' tMV11 0 recycling pl,ograiris. Other proposals have included reqUinug 1 1-7 11ILMicipalities to purchase goods iriade from recycled materials through (lie competitive bidding process, which could increase project costs. 'flierefore, this reSOILIfi011 riot ouly rcqL](.Sts that New York review and aniciid the recycling tuaridate placed oil III Lill ici palities, it also asks for funding for ruunicipal recycling programs, and that V away proposal to address the recycling crisis not place a further fillaricial burden oil towns. Resolution No. 10 Support Ways to Reduce Municipal Health Benefit Costs WHEREAS, providiug health beueffts helps to)wns attract and retain valukle i-nunicipal employees; and WHEREAS, health insurance costs have iricreased expotleiitially, and cava average, rise abOUt 8 percent anIlUally for local governments; and n WHEREAS, most toNvns have limited options outside of using private insurarice, companies aud cornrilunity rated plains to provide health beriel"its, thus makirig insurance provision more expensive; and WHE'RE'AS,, most towtis are prohibited front )Oillillg COUIlty self --insured health beriefit plans, which would be corisidered a form of sharing services and may potentially ofl-er cost savirigs; and WHERFAS, there are as uUniber of barriers to creating IIISUraricc Law Article 47 municipal health cooperatives, Such as the uumber of lives that initially need to be covered,- and WHEREAS, it is unclear whether municipalities can join established BOCES health cooperatives governed by Insurance Law Article 47; and WHEREAS, Insurance Law Article 47 health consortia are a form of shared services and also may provide significant cost savings in obtaiiiiiig health Benefits; and WHEREAS, New York State eiic(.,)Lira(,;eS Municipalities to collaborate and share services to reduce real property taxes,, NOW THER]"T-ORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Association of Towns calls on the Governor, the Legislature and the Department of Financial Services to ease the requirements to create Insurance Law Article 47 health care cooperatives, by reducing, for exon-iple, the number of covered lives required to start a cooperative or allowing for more flexibility in meeting various formation requirements,-, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Association ofTowns calls on the Governor and the Legislature to amend the Education Law so that there is clear authority for towns to join BOLES health cooperatives governed by Insurance Law Article 47; and BE. IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Association of Towns calls on the Governor and Legislature to allow municipalities to join county self-insured health benefit plans and pursite other options to help reduce municipal health benefit costs. BACKGROUND '17his is as new resolution drafted by staff. Ille aillOUnt towns spent oil health insurance for employees has increased by more than three times since the 1990s, and in 2018, towns in New York spent approximately- S630 million. This is due, ill part, to the fact that most towns are considered small employers (i.e. less than 100 employees), and therefore, they must purchase health inSUrarlce oil a community -rated basis. Larger employers (i.e. more than 100 employees) can purchase health insurance oil all experience -rated basis, which is overwhelmingly recognized as more cost-effective. By participating in an 111SUrance Law Article 47 health cooperative or a county self-inSUred plan, tOW11S WOUICI be able to obtain an experience -rated plan and save nione)% J(.)illil-lg Would also help county plans and health cooperatives because more participants help spread risk allocation. However, the ]ZINN' Currently does not allow small employer towns to join county self-insured plans, and there are a number Of hurdles to creating an Article 47 health cooperative, so many that just one has been created since the 1990s. Voila of these issues Nvere identified in a m.11-11ber Of COUlltywide Shared Services Initiative plans, 'I'lieref'Ore, this resolution requests stat -ed health benefit plans and changes, to (lie Article 47 utory changes authorizing towns to join counLy self-insui I creation process to make it easier for municipalities, Additionally, there are 1.1 MOLES health consortia that currently operate and are governed by Article 47. A1th0UC1h Insurance Law and General Municipal Law Article 5G allow BOCES and municipah ties to Share set -vices, it is unclear under Education Law whether ROCES has the authority to work with municipalities when it comes to health insurance. 'llieref6re, this resolution also requests that .ill amendment be made to Education Law so that there is an opportunity for mu n icip ali ties to join BOCES health cooperatives that have already been created. c O V U) O O U L U rn 0 0 c -i 00 0 cm 0 W O w a a Q Lo N cc) N Z LL O I rn L n3 o� N Lo N O .Q V Q)00 cz ti 0 rn 0 N Z 0 z w I 0 N O L U) cn cu w. 00 0 D7 O z w W' U z W 0 c W } J Q` LL rn 0 N 0 O C) > > O 0 Z O O N O C N w N O > Z > a Q Q N M azaazaa z z 0) +-' } W W Q Q a Q Q J O O U) E 0 a Z U) U) 0 J — O O Q W ry O J J 0 J 2 O L J L a) V m 0 C) ° N N N Y r_ O S- O Q NN� �.f. � M � 'O O � OJ Oia ci L- T Q LO U 0 U LO cu co .O 0 Ri 0 U) Cf) U) �+ r 0) >' �+ H p� J 4 m 0 O °Z C co a) Ri Q c0 (n E 0 o 3 ZO O J N O Lo C14 � o N 0 U U 04N0?
