should be included, as it would strengthen grant applications.
Include discussions regarding how to attract people to the area to live and/or visit.
The plan should promote and encourage entrepreneurism by local residents rather than
business ownership by outside corporations.
The plan should include some discussions of creative use of land that is available, rather
than what is owned by Exxon Mobil, which obviously has limitations.
The community park is an asset that should be explored more thoroughly, since it does
not have to be acquired. Consider possible uses such as cluster housing, a pavilion or
other gathering place that could be rented out.
The plan should discuss the creation of housing.
Further research concerning the benefit of creating a Farmers’ Market.
Projects should be prioritized and include cost estimates for individual projects.
Develop a business plan for the Old Church, possibly for a gallery/café.

59. Property Tax As A Revenue Source
Whereas, property tax is a regressive revenue source because it is not based on the ability to pay,
and
Whereas, Countie s, Towns, Villages, Cities, and School Districts use property tax as their main
revenue source, and
Whereas, the New York State Legislature is indirectly using the property tax as a revenue source
when it mandates that Counties pick up half of New York St ate's Medicaid costs, and
Whereas, the New York State Legislature, in 2002, unilaterally added to the services covered by
the Medicaid program without the consent of County governments which pay one quarter of the
Medicaid tab, and
Whereas, Medicaid cost s are increasing at a much faster rate than the growth in the property tax
base, and
Whereas, this rapid, uncontrolled increase in Medicaid cost results in Counties having to choose
between reducing appropriations for programs that are their basic respons ibility, increasing
property tax rates by double-digit percentages, or both increasing property tax rates and
decreasing services, and
Whereas, Towns, Villages, and Cities are forced to pick up some of the cost of reduced services
in their own budgets, putting even more pressure on the property tax burden because of
Medicaid,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town of Ulysses demands the New York
State Legislature cap property tax support of Medicaid payments at a maximum of 2002 levels,
or more preferably, remove this burden entirely from the property tax, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Town of Ulysses urges the New York State Association
of Towns to add this resolution to its list of resolutions to be considered at the 2003 annual
meeting, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Town Clerk is directed to send a certified copy of this
resolution to our representatives in Albany and to Jeffrey Haber, Executive Director of the New
York State Association of Towns.
