Representatives
Mr Kerr offered the following resolution and moved its adoption
WHEREAS, an amendment to Rule I—Sub 2 has been introduced and
laid on the table for one week proposing that all regular meetings convene
at 10 00 o'clock in the morning, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, That Rule I—Sub 2 of the Rules of the Board be amended

o'clock in the morning
Seconded by Mr Miller
It was moved by Mr Abbott, seconded by Mr Holden to amend the
resolution to read 10 00 A M instead of 9 30 A M
Mr Abbott said his reasons for amending were that when the board
went to evening meetings there was thinking that there would be more
public here but it didn't seem to make too much difference However,
if we went to 9 30 A M he felt it would be inconvenient for the public
to attend, and some board members couldn't attend at 9 30
Mi Culligan spoke opposing the amendment He said most of the
other municipalities meet in the evening If there is an important issue,
moie people can attend and not lose time from their work
Mr Bruce said his reason for opposing the change is the matter of con-
venience to the public and a matter of the effect of this on public partici-
pation of these meetings However, if the meeting were to be in the day-
time, these might be some merit of starting them as early as possible

This meeting was scheduled to consider the possibility of taking legal
action against the State on the question of state commitments to par-
tially Lund construction of the Tompkins -Cortland Community College
Atter a lengthy discussion the board learned of a previously unknown
letter from the State to President Hushang Bahar dated November 4,
1971 which notified him of a temporary freeze on new capital projects
affecting commited state funds It had previously been thought that the
fiist news of the fieeie came from the Governor in late December after
bids for construction had been opened It appears that money will not
be included in the state's 1972 Budget making it impossible to accept the
eligible bids for construction by the February deadline Therefore, there
are two options on the question of bidding 1) The bid figures can be
renegotiated later, 2) the project can be let for bids again Acceptance
of bids has already been extended thirty days and another extension
would appear to be unacceptable to bidders
Mr Marcham noted the following observations That no legal action
now be considered, That at this point the county not consider bonding
the construction, although that could be re -considered if the state were
to give written assurances of re -payment, it is not practical to re -extend
the bids, That the job possibly be rebid after February 20
It was MOVED by Mr Marcham, seconded Unanimously, That the
County Attorney prepare a letter directing Assemblywoman Cook to
draft a hill making state monies available for capital construction costs

posed, and

be made that would narrow down the alternatives

what the needs are and a decision should be made

Upon hearing no objections, the Chairman changed the meeting of
April 10 to April 3
Mr Golder asked if anyone that voted in the affirmative wanted to
make a motion to reconsider Resolution No 43 — Proceeding with the
design of New County Office Buildings and Demolition of Certain
Buildings Since no one entertained a motion, the Chairman opened the
floor foi discussion
Representative Golder feels the county should renovate and make use
of the space we have now instead of building a new office building
50 February 28, 1972
Raymond De Pasquale, Construction Engineer, who went through the
"B" building, explained the condition of the building He said the reno-
vation bids were received and were approaching the costs of new construc-
tion He said there are many surprises when remodeling old buildings
so it is difficult to estimate the cost
Mark Beathan supported Mr Pasquale He says the building "B" is
not a firmly suppoi ted building and after renovation constant repairs
would be needed because of the defects in the building He feels the
building should be demolished
Larry Hoffman of Levatich, Miller, and Hoffman, said it was his per-
sonal feeling that it always makes more sense to build a new building
than to renovate
Mr 'Wareham said he feels demolition should be done now while the
ground is firm He feels it would not be feasible to use the Building
and it would not be economical
Marion Schickel feels it is unwise to demolish the buildings before
there is a plan for something else
Upon healing no motion for reconsideration, the Chairman closed
the discussion on the matter
Under privilege of the floor, Representative Lee spoke relative to the
establishment of potential Agriculture Districts There is a group of
farmers in Diyden that are interested He said the Board has the power
to appoint a committee to investigate the possibility of such districts
This mattes has already been referred to the Planning and Public Works
Committee The Chairman said names for the committee should be re-
feired to the Planning and Public Works Committee
Chanman Graves stated it was learned that a local welfare case was
allotted $40,000 00 in the year 1971, legitimately If this is so, he feels the
whole welfare system is wrong and should be changed
At this time various committee chairmen reported as follows
Gary Lee, Budget and Administration, said they are concerned about
a professional fee recently paid Mr Murphy is checking to make sure
the approximate percentage was paid He will report back They are
going into an area of trying to project the community college operating
and Capital budget for the next five years They are going to consolidate
the purchasing of City Directories He also said they have a court order
which has been signed which means the county now has to pay the special
children's charges housed at the hospital They are going to check to see
if it is necessary There is a county property problem in the Town of
February 28, 1972 51
Caroline and they asked the county attorney to investigate to insure the
load has been abandoned to make sure the county won't have to build
a bridge across that creek should that property be sold Data Processing
at the hospital is beginning
Representative Marsham reported the committee met four times and
discussed several items They received a response to their question to
the Tompkins -Cortland Community College Board of Trustees regarding
potential conflict of interest A letter was reviewed and he asked it be
refer red to the Board of Ethics but the Board doesn't exist yet The
Chairman asked him to consider names of people for this They asked
the County Attorney to review two other matters regarding Tompkins -
Cortland Community College easements and water and sewer services
from the village and what formal commitments have been made He said
a number of requests for Charter and Rules changes have been received
and a memo will go to the Executive Committee indicating which are
charter changes and rules of the board They reviewed about 18 months
of work trying to formalize relationships between the DeWitt Historical
Society, County Museum and the county On April 1, there will be 12
vacancies on the Economic Opportunity Corporation Board The E 0 C
Board would like to meet on a quarterly basis, as there doesn't seem to
be enough business to warrant so many meetings He said he visited
Albany relative to the Community College, but no new information was
obtained He reported the Tompkins County Fair Association is looking
elsewhere for land They will meet again March 22 at 7.30 P M He said
a resolution will be presented later in the meeting relative to sharing
of costs for fire dispatchers with the City
Representative MacNeil, Planning and Public Works, said his com-
mittee met several times and asked Mr Leary to report on the Sheriff's
Department's future space needs at this time
Representative Leary reported a meeting was held with the Intergov-
ernmental Relations Committee and the Planning Commissioner relative
to future space for the Sheriff Plans are already being prepared for a
new communication system to take care of the Sheriff's Department,
, Highway, etc Therefore, more space is needed there This problem was
referred to the Planning Department
Representative Leary, Public Safety Committee, said there are present-
ly 33 prisoners at the Jail If there are any more they will have to be
taken to Schuyler County There might be a possibility of putting 3-6
more cells on the upper floor of the jail
Representative Leary spoke relative to the administration work con-
cerning compensation trial rules He said there is a law in effect which
require that any person arrested on or after May 1, 1972 who face
criminal charges other than Homicide must be released on bail or at his
own reconnaissance 90 days after arrest and if he is not tried within 6
52 February 28, 1972
months alter arrest the charges against him must be dismissed It was
learned that the reason for the delay in bringing cases to teal quickly
is clue to the fact the District Attorneys', Probation Departments, and
other police agencies, have been slow in getting the evidence before the
ural The District Attorney is going to try to get along with two assistants
until July 1, then possibly he might need more He said the District
Attorney feels there should be another Court room as the work load in
County Court has increased There are about 80 cases here in Tompkins
County that they have not been able to get to
Mr Marcham, Intergovernmental Relations, said the Committee chs -
cussed just what the City and all parties concerned meant when a resolu-
tion was presented last year, authorizing a study of the City Sewage Plant

held at the Airpoi t with Elan co They will proceed to study this matter

At this time, the Chan man commended the Highway Department for
a job well done dui mg the snow emergency

also cover ed several i cquests and directed the personnel Commissioner to
prepare resolutions
Mr Tolles said there will be a meeting of County and City people to
talk with Mr McCloskv from the State Office of Local Government
on March 23 relative to the possibility of combining the police agencies
Representative Bruce said representatives from the Southern Tier East
Regional and Development Board are working with the Planning De-
partment relative to the Southern Tier East Regional Planning and
Development Board Relative to this Board one of the problems this
group has in serving eight separate county jurisdictions is the problem
with Tompkins -Cortland Community College in getting decisions made
by each of the various boards There is a possibility of having a resolution
authorizing this Regional Planning and Development Board to enter in-
to obligations with Federal agencies, etc without necessarily coming
back to get simultaneous consent from each of the County's governments
that support it on the assumption our support would come when we
act on their budget There will be more reports in the future
Representative Culligan, Social and Health Services, again mentioned
the dinner, tour of hospital and meeting with the Board of Managers

,Committee has been established under the Chairmanship of Mr Cole-

Mental Health Board The appointment will be made later in the
meeting
Mr MacNeil reported on the proposal of Robert Scannell to establish
Bicycle Paths throughout the Town of Ithaca and City of Ithaca Such
a system would hopefully be financed partly by federal and partly by
local governments The town Board is taking care of this and if necessary
the County could pay a part He commended the County Highway De-
pai tment for the excellent job done during the snow emergency Mr
Stevenson, Commissioner of Public Works said they couldn't have done
it without the Towns Highway Departments help

SUMMARY — REAPPORTIONMENT PLAN
Your Committee recommends a 15 -person Board of Representatives.
It further recommends that the City of Ithaca be divided into five Rep-
resentative Districts, the Town of Ithaca into three Districts and the
Town of Dryden into two We recommend that the Towns of Caroline
and Danby continue to constitute one District, the Towns of Enfield
and Newfield, another, and the Towns of Groton, Lansing and Ulysses,
one District each
Compared with the present apportionment, the City of Ithaca has two
less Representatives, and the Town of Ithaca, one more The other
seven Districts remain unchanged
The City of Ithaca
In the recommended plan, the City's Representative Districts or
Wards are altered most, and have required the Committee's most care-
ful consideration in replacing the present seven Districts with the pro-
posed five The plan shown on the accompanying map and reflected in
Table 1 is the most suitable among the numerous alternatives con-
sidered
In revising District lines within the City the Committee was guided
by the following criteria which are listed in order of importance
1) Equality of Population According to the 1970 Census None of the
five Districts deviates from the countywide average district popu-
lation of 5,137 by more than 9 percent This is much less than the
17 percent in the 1969 reapportionment plan The population of

Districts A, B and E is above average, principally in order to in-
clude substantial numbers of registered voters in Districts contain-
ing areas of high student concentrations The population of Dis-
trict D on the west side of the City is 8 percent below average
principally in anticipation of near future growth resulting from
the 317 housing units nearing completion on Elm Street under
Ithaca Housing Authority auspices
2) Substantial Numbers of Regasteied Votes Every District has at
least 1,000 registered voters, ranging from 1,066 in District A on
the northeast side of the City to 1,964 in District C on the south
side The compelling reason for drawing boundaries of Districts A
and B to include both downtown areas and parts of East Hill with
its Cornell campus is to encompass substantial numbers of registered
voters along with areas of high student concentrations These new
boundaries, we recognize, do violence to the objective of preserving
areas of historic common identity within a common political dis-
trict insofar as the Fall Creek and Central areas are concerned It
has appeared impossible, however, to adhere to this objective in
these instances and at the same time to observe the higher pri-
orities of approximately equal population on the one hand, and
substantial numbers of registered voters on the other
3) Pleservatzon of Common Identity of Neighboihoods With only five
Representative Districts instead of seven, and with the above
over-riding criteria to be considered, it has been impossible to ad-
here to this criterion in all cases, as indicated immediately above
The West Hill and South Hill areas remain in one District, how-
ever, as does much of the area on East Hill that is south of the
Cascadilla Creek gorge
4) Growth Prospects for the Immediate Future Significant popula-
tion increases will result from occupancy of Ithaca Housing Au-
thority projects now nearing completion These include the Han-
cock area housing estimated to house 454 people, the Titus area
high-rise estimated to house 200, and the 317 units on Elm Street
Representative District lines are so drawn as to locate each of these
projects m a different District This is the principal reason for in-
cluding the Hancock area outside of District D, where the Elm
Street project is located and within District A
5) Preservation of Election Districts. Drawing Representative District
boundaries through Election Districts was kept at a minimum con-
sistent with other criteria The purpose is to require a minimum of
change for voters in voting locations, and for administration of
elections
April 20, 1972 83
The Town of Ithaca
The recommended plan divides the Town of Ithaca into three districts
instead of the present two The land area of the Town has a roughly
U -shape, completely surrounding the City except on the north where
Cayuga Lake is situated District A is on the west and south, District B
on the south and east, and District C on the north including the East
Shore of the Lake and most of the Village of Cayuga Heights, as shown
on the accompanying map
The deviation in population from the countywide average of 5,137
ranges from 0 percent in District A to 3 percent in District B, as shown
in Table 1 Voter registrations range from 1363 to 2485 The large popu-
lation increases and the differing increases in different parts of the Town
have required crossing boundaries of both the Village of Cayuga Heights
and of Election Districts with the Representative District lines in order
to achieve approximate equality of Census counts among Representative
Districts
The Town of Dryden
The recommended apportionment plan leaves unchanged the two
Representative Districts in the Town of Dryden, as shown on the ac-
companying map.
Our predecessor Committee in preparing its plan of 1969 carefully
considered these Dryden Districts together with other alternatives shown
in its report It recommended that the District lines follow the then -
existing Election Districts rather than the Census Enumeration Districts
because following the latter districts would violate residential patterns
of the Town.
The present Dryden Representative Districts are sufficiently close to
the countywide average population to make highly questionable the de-
sirability of shifting these Districts once more, within three years of lay-
ing them out. As shown in Table 1, Dryden District A is only 2 percent
under the countywide average District population, and District B is 8
percent In the reapportionment plan of 1969, District A was 14 percent,
and District B, 8 percent under the average, using the 1960 Census
figures
The Other Towns
The recommended plan leaves unchanged the five Representative
Districts in the remaining seven towns Groton, Lansing and Ulysses
each comprise a District Caroline and Danby together constitute one
District, and Enfield together with Newfield, another
The deviations from the countywide average population per Represen-
tative District of 5,137 range from 16 percent over the average in Lansing
to 12 percent under in Ulysses, as Table 1 shows The Caroline -Danby
84 April 20, 1972
District is 9 percent under average The other two Districts ate within
5 percent of the average
The Lansing and Ulysses deviations are the extremes among all Dis-
tricts in the County Except for them, the range is from 9 percent over
average in District A of the City to 9 percent under in Caroline -Danby
In the 1969 reapportionment plan, deviations using the 1960 Census
ranged from 17 percent over the average to 14 percent under The plan
recommended here therefore reduces slightly the range of percentage
deviations
Your Committee justifies these deviations in order that Representative
District lines follow city or town boundaries as in the present apportion-
ment plan and as in past history of the County It cannot give positive
assurance that these departures from equality of Census counts among
Districts are within margins of judicial tolerance, but believes the devi-
ations are strongly defensible, and has laid out the defense here in some
detail
If the Board of Representatives prefers smaller percentage deviations
from the norm, they can be had, but at a cost of ignoring one or more
of the criteria set forth here The crossing of town and possibly city
boundaries is part of the cost
The County As a Whole
Your Committee has prepared the plan recommended here within the
requirement of the County Charter as it has understood the Charter
Early in Committee discussions, weighted voting possibilities were dis-
carded partly because they did not appear to be permitted by the
Charter with its specification of single member districts
Perhaps needless to say, one criterion which the Committee did not
consider was party advantage in drawing Representative District lines
The Committee has appreciated that its role as a citizen group is to view
reapportionment at least one step removed from party partisanship, and
to reach sensible agreement on a plan which the Board could easily
have great difficulty in preparing for itself because of the impact on
individual Representatives, and party and other interests
The Relation of Reapportionment to the Ithaca Common Council
In preparing the 1969 reapportionment plan, two Aldermen (Arthur
Stallman and Arnold Tolles) of the City of Ithaca Common Council
served on the Citizen's Committee and were of course aware that the
new Representative District boundaries might also serve to delineate
Wards for purposes of electing Aldermen The seven City Wards re-
flected the City's proper share of a 16 -person Board of Representatives,
and so no change in number of Wards or number of Representatives on
the County Board was likely to be involved
April 20, 1972 85
Since the 1970 Census, the need for a relative loss of City representa-
tion has been apparent to anyone interested in reapportionment locally
The repercussions on Common Council representation are moie com-
plex than in 1969
The 15 -person County Board requires five persons from the City in as
many Representative Districts If the City were again to confoim the
Aldermanic Wards with the County Districts, it would require a change
in the number on the Common Council from the present 14 persons If
there were to continue to be two persons from each Ward, Common
Council membership would be reduced to 10
If the City does not use the County Representative Districts as City
Wards from which to elect Aldermen, then the City would have two
electoral maps, one for City and the other for County purposes Some
resulting possibilities for chaos were pointed out in the report of our
predecessor Committee, and will not be repeated here We urge that the
City study and avert these possibilities

At a meeting of the Tompkins County Board of Representatives on
September 13, 1971, the following persons were appointed to the County
Reapportionment Committee
1 John C Clynes, 306 Elm Street, Ithaca (City of Ithaca)
2 Ruth DeWire, 148 Pine Tree Road, Ithaca (Town of Ithaca)
3 Alvin Knepper, 100 Fairview Square, Ithaca (City of Ithaca)

6 Florence Rumph, 549 Old Spencer Road, Ithaca (City of Ithaca)
7 William Shaw, 1147 East Shore Drive, Ithaca (Town of Lansing)
8 Thomas Todd, 847 Davis Road, Ludlowville (Town of Lansing)
The Committee was appointed as required by the Tompkins County
Charter Pertinent sections of the Charter, which was approved in a
county referendum in the general elections of 1968, are quoted below
Extracts from the Tompkzns County Charter
"Section 2 04 Composition of the Board of Representatives
The Board of Representatives shall be composed of not less than
fifteen nor more than twenty members elected from single -member
districts, provided, however, that the first Board of Representatives
elected under this Charter and Code shall consist of sixteen mem-
bers "
"Section 2 05 Reapportionment of the Board of Representa-
tives
(a) Upon publication of the results of the federal decennial
census for Tompkins County, the Board of Representatives shall
prepare a plan for reapportionment which shall contain recommen-
dations as to the number and geographic boundaries of the various
districts from which members of the Board of Representatives shall
be nominated and elected as the next scheduled primary and general
election of such Board The Board of Representatives shall approve
a plan of reapportionment of such Board at least thirty days prior
to the first date for circulation of designating for nomination at the
next succeeding primary election of members of the Board of Repre-
sentatives and such plan shall be termed the basis for nomination and
April 20, 1972 91
election of the Board of Representatives until the publication of the
next federal decennial census at which time the Board of Represen-
tatives shall prepare a reapportionment plan "
" (b) Immediately upon the adoption of this Charter and Code,
the Legislative Committee of the Board of Supervisors shall submit
to the entire Board a plan for reapportionment using the most re-
cent legally permissable census figures Such plan shall be submitted
to the Board not later than February 1, 1969, and the supervisors
shall adopt a plan for the election of the Board of Representatives
not later than March 15, 1969."
" (c) The Board of Supervisors and/or Representatives in plan-
ning said reapportionment, shall appoint a committee on reappor-
tionment to assist it in arriving at a plan of reapportionment The
Board shall give to said committee the guide lines with which the
committee is to operate "
Reapportionment
"Section 2 06 Standards of Reapportionment The Board of Rep-
resentatives shall, in approving a plan of reapportionment, meet
the following standards equality of representation consistent with
the policies of the State Legislature as interpreted by the Courts of
appropriate jurisdiction, balance and reasonableness of represen-
tation for citizens residing in all parts of the County, maximum prac-
tical consistency with existing municipal boundaries of the various
local governmental units within Tompkins County "
Board Guidelines for the Committee
Your Committee at its first meeting on November 4, 1971, discussed
what guidelines it should seek from the Board, in accordance with Sec-
tion 2 05 of the Charter quoted above It concluded, for reasons appear-
ing in greater detail later in this report, that the Board should be asked
to keep additional guidelines at a minimum, beyond the numerous
guidelines already in the Charter, state law (principally the Municipal
Home Rule Law) , and state and federal court decisions Additional in-
structions from the Board were likely, not merely to complicate the work
of your Committee, but to frustrate development of a reapportionment
plan acceptable to the Board and conforming with the various legal re-
quirements For example, changes in population revealed by the Census
of 1970 appear to make it impossible to maintain the present member-
ship of 16 persons on the Board on the one hand (if the Board were to
desire it) and to adhere to municipal boundaries on the other in drawing
Representative District lines
The Committee Chairman conveyed this conclusion to the Board at
its meeting on January 3, 1972 The Boaid approved the following
resolution at that meeting
92 April 20, 1972
"RESOLUTION NO 19 REAPPORTIONMENT PROCEDURES
WHEREAS, the County Charter sets forth broad guidelines for Board of
Representative district reapportionment in Sections 2 04 and 2 06, and
WHEREAS, a Reapportionment Committee has been appointed, now
therefore be it
RESOLVED, That before recommending a final reapportionment plan,
said committee submit to the Board of Representatives for decision such
further detailed guidelines as it may need in order to draw proposed district
lines,
RESOLVED, further, That the Clerk of the Board forward certified copies
of this resolution to each individual member of said committee "
Since then, your Committee has continued its work, and prepared the
reapportionment plan reported here Strengths and weaknesses in the
plan are described below together with reasons why the Committee has
gone in the directions it has If the Board prefers alternative directions,
then these alternatives will constitute guidelines for further study by this
Committee or another body If the Board accepts the plan recommended
here, then no more guidelines are needed
Work of the Committee
The Committee has met seven times since its appointment last Sep-
tember, on November 4, December 2, January 13, February 10, March 2
and 16, and April 11 It has held many subcommittee meetings and tele-
phone conferences It has received substantial help in assembling, analyz-
ing and mapping the detailed population statistics of the 1970 Census and
voter registration statistics from the Tompkins County Department of
Planning Manuel A Mena, Administrative Assistant, has been par-
ticularly helpful Frank Liguori, Commissionei of Planning, has attended
most Committee meetings and provided piomptly for Committee needs
from Departmental facilities The Department has purchased in behalf
of the Committee necessary detailed population statistics for blocks (sub-
divisions of census enumeration districts) in the City of Ithaca and
several towns from computer tapes of Peter Francese
The Committee has sought and received legal opinions in response to
its questions from County Attorney Robert I Williamson, Robert Imrie
(State Assistant Attorney General) , William Redmond (Counsel of the
State Office for Local Government) and John P Dugan (Associate
Counsel of the same Office) It has received other helpful information
from the Office for Local Government and the County Officers As-
sociation about reapportionment problems and decisions in other coun-
ties At one point, the Committee was concerned about apparent appli-
cations of the Municipal Home Rule Law to its work, and received an
offer of assistance in amending the Law from Assemblywoman Con-
stance E Cook Subsequent legal opinion from Mr Dugan indicated that
this concern was apparently unjustified

Changes Since the Reapportionment of 1969
The first reapportionment of the governing board of Tompkins County
was in 1969 under a plan proposed to what was then the Board of
Supervisors by a Citizens Reapportionment Committee chaired by An-
drew Hacker (see pages 33-50 of the "1969 Proceedings, Board of
Supervisors, Tompkins County, New York") The present Board of Rep-
resentatives was elected in 1969 according to the plan, for a 4 -year term
The total number of Representatives remained unchanged from the
16 persons on the predecessor Board of Supervisors, but most of the 16
districts were altered The City of Ithaca retained its former quota of
seven Board members, but ward (district) boundaries within the City
were amended substantially Before this first reapportionment, each of
the nine towns had one Supervisor on the County Board in accordance
with statewide practice since early in the history of the State The re-
apportionment plan combined four towns into two districts Newfield -
Enfield and Danby -Caroline, divided two towns into two districts each
Dryden and Ithaca, and left three towns as a single district each Groton,
Lansing and Ulysses
These changes resulted in 16 Representative Districts of approximately
equal population without having to cross the boundaries of the City or
Towns They appeared to meet all of the requirements of Section 2 06
of the Tompkins County Charter (quoted above) and of federal and
state court decisions up to that time The greatest changes occurred in the
six towns where six districts were redrawn The City had no change in
total representation, though ward fines inside the City had to be re-
drawn The Town Supervisor in all of the towns, the principal town
officer, was ruled ineligible to serve on the County Board notwith-
standing traditional statewide practice theretofore. The state law giving
rise to the ruling has been amended since, but the two offices are no
longer held by the same individual in Tompkins County
Since the 1969 reapportionment, several noteworthy changes have in-
fluenced a new reapportionment plan The U S Census of 1970 has
revealed important population shifts within the County from the 1960
Census on which the 1969 plan was based Beginning with the 1969
Session of the State Legislature, there have been additions to the Mu-
nicipal Home Rule Law concerning reapportionment of legislative
bodies of local governments The minimum voting age also has been
lowered from 21 to 18 years, a fact of unusual significance in this college
community in determining a reasonable and equitable definition of
resident population for purposes of local representation Since the 1969
plan, the flow of court decisions concerning legislative reapportionment
has of course continued, among them was a decision of the United
States Supreme Court in June 1971 concerning Rockland County, New
York (Abate v Mundt) that appears to have special significance for
maintaining integrity of town and city boundaries in apportioning Rep-
resentative Districts.
94 April 20, 1972
The Effects of Population Changes Between 1960 and 1970
According to the U S Bureau of the Census, the population of Tomp-
kins County increased from 66,164 in 1960 to 77,064 m 1970, a growth of
10,900 or 16 5% (see Table 2) During this decade, the City of Ithaca
dropped almost 9% in population to one-third (34%) of the county
total At the same time, the number of people in every town increased,
and in all towns together growth averaged 36% so that by 1970 the pro-
portion of population in the towns had increased to almost two-thirds
(66%) from 56 5% in 1960 The largest numbers of people were added
in the Town of Ithaca, particularly in the parts of the Town outside
the Village of Cayuga Heights, partly because of the relocation of the
Ithaca College Campus from downtown Ithaca to South Hill outside the
City The Town of Dryden also sustained a sizeable increase, particularly
in Representative District 14 in the southwest part of the Town So also
did the Town of Newfield Danby showed the smallest numerical and
percentage gains among the towns
The two contrary changes, the population decrease in the City com-
bined with the growth in the towns, require a reduction for the City in
the proportion of representation on the County Board of Representa-
tives, and a gain for the towns, particularly the Town of Ithaca beyond
Cayuga Heights Village A proportionate reduction can be achieved in
two ways by increasing the total number of Representatives on the
Board enough so that the present number from the City (7 persons) ap-
proximates one-third of the total, or by reducing the number from the
City to one-third of the present county total of 16 persons The Board
would need to be increased to 21 persons, or possibly 20, in order to re-
tain 7 from the City If the present 16 -person Board were retained, on the
other hand, the City would need representation approximating 5 5 per-
sons, or 1 5 fewer persons than at present.
Section 2 04 of the County Charter states in part, "The Board of Rep-
resentatives shall be composed of not less than fifteen nor more than
twenty members elected from single -member districts ." Table 3 shows
alternative effects of different sizes of County Board ranging from 15 to
20 members At the top of the table is the 1970 average population per
Representative District for each sized Board, ranging from 5,137 for a
15 -person Board to 3,853 for the 20 -member Board The six right hand
columns then show the percentage of the average population for each
sized Board that is in the areas indicated on the left hand side of the
table, including the areas that are the present Representative Districts
Close study of the deviations from the average population for each
sized Board shows that the 15 -person size is closest to making it possible
to draw District lines that do not cross city or town boundaries With
city population at 511% of the 5,137 average for the 15 -member Board,
five City Representative Districts would average 102% of the 5,137, an
average deviation of 2% The Town of Ithaca population at 304% of

A 15 -person Board apportioned according to the 1970 Census there-
fore would require five Representatives from the City, three from the
Town of Ithaca and about the same representation from the other towns
as at present In other words, the City of Ithaca would lose two Repre-
sentatives, the Town of Ithaca gain one, and the other towns remain with
little or no change
A 15 -person Board would make possible "maximum practical con-
sistency with existing municipal boundaries", to use the words of Section
2 06 of the Charter, compared with other sizes of Board permitted by
the Charter Even with this size of Board, the percentage deviations from
the average population per Representative District may exceed toler-
ances permitted by the courts unless there is some crossing of municipal
boundaries (Considerations relating to such tolerances are discussed
below) The Board may also regard other factors than reapportionment
matters to be more important in determining the most satisfactory num-
ber of individuals on the Board, but identifying and including such fac-
tors is beyond the ken of this Committee Accordingly, the Committee's
recommended plan is based on a 15 -person Board, or one less Represen-
tative than at present
What Is "Population"�
In this community more than many others, the question, "Who should
be counted in defining Representative Districts of approximately equal
population?" is a perennial one It occupied considerable time of our
predecessor Committee in preparing the 1969 reapportionment plan It
has done so for the present Committee It probably will for other com-
mittees in years to come
The basic reason for the question in this community is that a sizeable
fraction of the population counted by the Census consists of students
attending Cornell University and Ithaca College, and that these students
are highly concentrated in limited areas of the City of Ithaca, and more
recently, the Town of Ithaca If the number of students were relatively
small, or if they were spread somewhat evenly over the County, the ques-
tion would be unimportant But student registration in the spring term
of 1970 approximated 13,600 at Cornell University and 3,900 at Ithaca
College The total of 17,500 in the two institutions is 23 per cent of the
Census count for Tompkins County, and 42 per cent of the combined
count for the Town and City of Ithaca Of these a substantial minority
are registered as voters, especially those at the graduate level
While some students hve beyond the City and Town, and even beyond
the County, the high concentrations are in dormitory and other housing
on or near the two campuses The most densely populated block in the
City appears to be between Stewart and West Avenues where the Census
found 1883 persons in exclusively dormitory and fraternity housing The
1883 are more than a third of the 5,137 average population of a Rep-
98 April 20, 1972
resentative District for a 15 -person Board All students together in the
two institutions equal the population of more than three such Districts
The students are a problem in reapportionment because the great
majority are non-residents of the County for election purposes The
State Constitution and Election Law bars most of them from acquiring
voting residence While these legal barriers are being questioned, they
remain effective Even if they were eliminated, it is arguable whether
students in large numbers would claim voting residence in this com-
munity, register, and turn out in a local election year to vote for a
County Representative Many students simply do not regard themselves
as part of the local "population" or citizenry While it is not essential
to vote in order to be part of the population that is counted for local rep-
resentation purposes, the courts nevertheless have ruled that blocks of
non-residents who are included in usual Census counts, such as in
prisons, mental hospitals and colleges, need not be included in appor-
tionment calculations.
Hence the question, "Should the students who are non-residents be
omitted from the population for reapportionment purposes?" "And if so,
how?" The question, "How?" has considerable bearing on omission or
inclusion, and is examined here
The 1969 Reapportionment Committee gave some weight to "Adult
Population", that is, the 1960 Census count of persons over 21 years old,
as a means of avoiding most student population, but recommended that
the Census of total population be regarded as "official" because it
doubted the legality of the other measure before the courts Adult popu-
lation has lost whatever usefulness it had then, however, by the lowering
of the minimum voting age from 21 to 18 years in 1971 Few college stu-
dents are under 18 Thus your present Committee has considered alterna-
tives.
One alternative is the direct approach of excluding non-resident stu-
dents from population for reapportionment purposes Such a task appears
so formidable in time and expense, however, that the Committee has
concluded it is impractical It includes pinpointing the location of non-
resident students for each block in the City as well as in the towns Most
students are highly concentrated in location, but some are scattered over
the County The County Planning Department, after consulting with
College and University staffs, estimated that it would require the equiva-
lent of one man working three months to go through student directories,
locate non-residents on a map, and subtract the total numbers from
Census Block totals Even then the accuracy of the resulting counts
would be questionable
Voter Regzstratzon As a Measu?e of Population
A second alternative for excluding concentrations of non-resident stu-
dents from population for reapportionment purposes is to employ voter
April 20, 1972 99
registration counts At first thought this alternative also seems a simple
and direct way to define Representative Districts of approximately equal
population under the recently developed principle of American con-
stitutional law that has been identified by U S Supreme Court Justices
and others by the catch -phrase "one person, one vote" One would simply
establish Districts of approximately equal numbers of people who have
shown sufficient interest in voting to register Use of registrations would
at the same time exclude students and others without voting residence m
the County
This measure of population, like any other, has legal and other ob-
jections to its use for reapportionment It has, however, been acceptable
enough under some circumstances to warrant study by the Committee
and a review of findings in this report
The objections to use of voter registrations aie considerable Among
them are those cited by the U S Supreme Court in 1966 in the case of
Burns v Richardson involving reapportionment of the Hawaii Legisla-
ture The Court then said that use of a "registered voter or actual voter
basis" "depends not only upon criteria such as govern state citizenship,
but also upon the extent of political activity of those eligible to register
and vote Each is thus susceptible to improper influences by which those
in political power might be able to perpetuate under -representation of
groups constitutionally entitled to participate in the electoral process, or
perpetuate 'a ghost of prior malapportionment ' Moreover, `fluctuations
in the number of registered voters in a given election may be sudden
and substantial, caused by such fortuitous factors as a particularly con-
troversial election issue, a particularly popular candidate, or even
weather conditions' Ellis v Mayor & City Council of Baltimore (C A 4th
Cir 1965) "
These Court remarks have some application specifically to the Tomp-
kins County situation but some points appear not to apply here Criteria
comparable to those "governing state citizenship" might be construed to
include New York State legal barriers to student registration and voting
in the place where attending college The extent to which political ac-
tivity, controversial election issues, popular candidates and weather in any
one year influence voter registration in Tompkins County is somewhat
limited as result of the system of permanent personal registration which
has been effective in this State for more than a decade For example, the
county totals for voter registration were 26,670 in 1968 (a presidential
year), 25,123 in 1969 (the local election year in which the County Board
was last elected) , 25,562 in 1970 (a gubernational year) and 27,582 in
1971 (a local election year) The latter figure includes newly registered
18 to 20 year olds numbering 1,407, leaving a net for 1971 of 26,175
comparable with preceding years If there are "ghosts of prior malap-
portionment" in Tompkins County they seem unlikely to be perpetuated
by use of voter registration for reapportionment Improper influences
to perpetuate underrepresentation seem unlikely in this community with
100 April 20, 1972
the possible exception of local enforcement of state legal requirements
excluding non-resident students from registration for voting, if this is
construed as an "improper influence "
Another objection to the use of voter registration figures is that this
measure of population tends to discriminate against children, the poor,
minority ethnic groups, students and other minorities Children are of
course ineligible to vote and constitute a higher proportion of popula-
tion in some neighborhoods than others Studies of voting habits have
found that the poor and some other minorities tend to register and vote
in smaller proportion than other parts of the population Voter registra-
tion would therefore weight these groups, it is said, too lightly
Another objection to the use of voter registration for reapportionment
is that the Census counts are much more widely used and more likely to
be acceptable by the courts if the reapportionment plan is contested This
objection appears to have substance although the relatively unusual cir-
cumstances of Tompkins County might conceivably lead to the con-
clusion that voter registration is a closer approximation of resident
population than is the U S Census
For example, the wide disparity in voter registration between the two
extreme Representative Districts shown below is due predominantly to
the fact of high non-resident student concentrations in the low registra-
tion district

Differences in weather, candidates, controversial issues, ghosts of prior
malapportionment, impioper influences by the politically powerful, and
the proportions of youngsters under 18 years old or of the poor or mi-
nority groups in the population have little or nothing to do with the
fact that a registrant in District A has a vote potentially worth, if he
goes to the polls, over four times the vote of the registiant in District B
Use of voter iegistrations for reapportionment has not been overruled
by the courts in all cases Its use for apportioning the lower house of the
Vermont Legislature was upheld in 1965 (Buckley v Hoff) by the U S
District Coui t More applicable to the Tompkins County circumstances
is the 1966 case involving Hawaiian legislative reapportionment cited
above, in which use of voter registration statistics was upheld The Court
said, "Hawaii's special population problems might well have lead it to
conclude that state citizen population rather than total population
April 20, 1972 101
should be the basis for comparison Both the tourists and the mili-
tary tend to be highly concentrated on Oahu and, indeed, are largely
confined to particular regions of that island Total population figures
may thus constitute a substantially distorted reflection of the distribu-
tion of state citizenry If so, a finding that registered voters distribution
does not approximate total population distribution is insufficient to
establish constitutional deficiency It is enough if it appears that the
distribution of registered voters approximates distribution of state
citizens or another permissable population base "
Application of Voter Registration to Reappoitzonment
If voter registration statistics are substituted for 1970 Census figures
for present Representative Districts of Tompkins County, it makes a
considerable difference as Table 4 shows The percentage of the average
or ideal population increases, by using the registered voter basis, for every
Representative District in the County except four The four are the
3rd, 5th and 7th Wards of the City and the Town of Ithaca District
Number 2 The three City Wards, 'especially the 3rd and 5th, include
high student concentrations, and the Town District includes the new
Ithaca College Campus
The relative loss of population for the three City Wards by using
voter registrations is so great that total City representation would be
about four and one third Representatives on a 15 -person County Board
compared with five when Census statistics are used The relative loss for
the Town of Ithaca District is not so great that total Town representa-
tion would decline materially, but the loss would influence where new
District fines are drawn The greatest relative gain is in the Town of
Lansing
Your Committee has limited its reliance upon voter registration sta-
tistics in its reapportionment plan Irrespective of the merits or dis-
advantages of using them as an approximation of resident population,
the weight of legal advice to the Committee is rather heavily against their
changes of surviving challenge in the courts if registrations are relied
upon exclusively or principally In drawing district lines within mu-
nicipal boundaries, we have sought to include significant numbers of
voters within the total population This has been an important con-
sideration within the City and to a lesser degree within the Town of
Ithaca
Deviations from Average Population Per District
Approximate equality of population among single member districts
has been the Committee objective of foremost priority, but we have been
required to consider other objectives which conflict with a goal of
exactly equal population in each district The objectives are stated in
102 April 20, 1972
Section 2 06 of the County Charter (quoted above) , state law and court
decisions They have included "maximum practical consistency with
existing municipal boundaries of the various local governmental units
within Tompkins County "
Attainment of objectives in addition to equality of population has
compelled the Committee to consider with care how much deviation from
such equality is desirable and permissible In the words of our predeces-
sor Committee, "There are no `official' percentages of permissible devi-
ation" that apply to reapportionment of the Tompkins County Board

The courts have ruled on a case by case basis The few strictures in the
Municipal Home Rule Law, Section 10, Subdivision 13, are apparently
inapplicable because the Committee's work is under authority of the
County Charter, according to advice of counsel of the State Office for
Local Government (Letter of February 11 from John P Dugan, As-
sociate Counsel)
Under these circumstances, your Committee cannot conclude with
certainty that its recommended plan of apportionment is within per-
missible limits of population deviation We can say that the deviations
are consistent with Charter objectives, that they are not contrived for
improper or undue advantage of one area or interest over another, and
that they do not violate the principle of equal representation The
deviations that occur result from trying to attain objectives in addition to
equality of population, from accommodating imperfections and am-
biguities of Census and other data, and from encountering the simple
mathematical or arithmetic fact that when working with relatively small
numbers, such as average population of a Representative District, a
change of a few units or people constitutes a significant percentage of
the total Thus 50 is 1% of 5,000, but 01% of 500,000
It is appropriate to explain and justify here the population deviations
among Representative Districts although some explanation also appears
later in the description of the recommended apportionment plan
In this connection it should be repeated that the Committee recom-
mendation of a 15 -person Board has as its principal justification that
the population deviation resulting from adherence to city and town
boundaries will be reduced to a minimum compared with other per-
mitted sizes of County Board Adoption of this recommendation will
require reducing Board membership from the present 16
The local problem of delineating districts of equal population is more
difficult than for larger, more populous political jurisdictions We are
dealing with small numbers and geographic areas in which small nu-
merical factors can make a large percentage difference For example, the
average 1970 population of 15 Representative Districts in Tompkins
County is 5,137, while the 150 Assembly Districts in New York State
average approximately 122,000, and the 39 Congressional Districts, ap-
proximately 468,000 All of Cornell University's student registration
of 13,600 for 1970 is less than 3% of the Congressional District figure,
and 11% of the Assembly District population, but between two and
three times the Representative District average In addition the larger
population and geographic extent of the Assembly and Congressional
Districts makes more probable that institutions comparable to Cornell
will be found spread throughout other districts so that disparities in im-
pact of such institutions or of other factors are lessened
Another illustration of differences in relative impact of small numbers
may be taken from the U S Supreme Court case of June 1971 involving
104 April 20, 1972
Rockland County (Abate v Mundt) The Court there sustained a re-
apportionment plan in which deviations in average population ranged
from —7 1% to +4 8% The numerical deviations per representative
ranged from —865 to +578 as the table below shows When these nu-
merical deviations are calculated as a percentage of the average popu-
lation per Representative District in Tompkins County, the percentages
range trom —16 8 to +11 3
Another element of instability in working with small numbers arises
from the impact of Census errors, corrections and apparent incon-
sistencies These things in a large jurisdiction are insignificant, in a small
one, they make a difference For example, a second "final" report of the
Census published in August 1971 (PC 1-A34) listed a corrected figure
for the Village of Trumansburg, increasing the count by 185 and making
the Town of Ulysses total exactly 4,500, an increase of 4 3% from the
former figure reported in January An entire enumeration district was
apparently missing from the first "final" figure It seems to be missing
still since detailed population statistics for that district are unavailable
A natural surmise is that data for the district disappeared after leaving the
hands of the local Census Supervisor, Mrs Ruby Ferris, with whom a
check was made, and that the coirection of 185 is a "guesstimate" sup-
plied at higher administrative levels A coirection of this magnitude is
not unique The corrected figure for the Village of Brookville, Town of
Oyster Bay, Nassau County is 1,785 compared with its earlier 2,267
As another example of unstable small numbers, the Committee has
encountered inconsistencies of several hundred persons in trying to
reconcile statistics of students in Ithaca College dormitories with Census
data for the Census Brock where that college campus is located
As already described in some detail above, another factor that has
detracted from Committee confidence in drawing district lines with
rigid adherence to equality of population according to Census counts
is the concentration of large numbers of non-resident students in a few
areas of the community
Finally, the Committee has tolerated greater deviations among pro-
posed Representative Districts than it otherwise would because it has
made possible following city and town boundaries Such a course re-
duces the possibilities for gerrymandering and contributes toward com-
pactness and contiguity of territory of Districts, but there arc more com-
pelling reasons for maintaining the integrity of local government
boundaries for purposes of local representation
From the earliest history of the County, which was organried in 1817,
first the towns, and then the City upon its incorpoiation, have been
closely interrelated with the County in many ways Until the 1969 reap-
portionment, the Town Supervisor, the principal town office], sei ved ex -
officio on the County Board of Supervisors In that year, a new state

law since repealed was ruled to prevent this dual role Town budgets
have traditionally been, and still are, submitted to the County Board
for formal levy of town real property taxes County assessments of real
property are used for town and city taxation Local retail sales tax
revenues are divided among County, City and towns There is an intricate
pattern of county, town and city interrelationships in highway and street
maintenance and improvement and snow removal From approximately
the close of the last World War the County, by authority of the town
and city representatives constituting the County Board, has intervened
to assume important town and city responsibilities in public health,
public welfare, the operation of a general hospital, the maintenance and
reconstruction of an airport, construction and operation of a library, the
assessment of taxable property, the maintenance of sanitary landfills for
solid waste disposal There is a system of intermunicipal coordination of
fire protection and coping with other disasters The County and its con-
stituent local governments are involved now in studies of intermunicipal
cooperation in water and sewer development and in police protection
Further, the future need for coordination and cooperation between the
County and the City and towns appears to be at least as great as in the
past because of the prospect of continued growth of public responsibilities
in an expanding community
Maintaining and strengthening these many and close interrelationships
between the County and its constituent political subdivisions warrant the
relatively minor population deviations among Representative Districts in
order to conform those Districts with city and town lines
The Recommended Reapportionment Plan
Your Committee recommends, as already stated, a 15 -person Board of
Representatives It further recommends that the City of Ithaca be di-
vided into five Representative Districts, the Town of Ithaca into three
Districts and the Town of Dryden into two We recommend that the
Towns of Caroline and Danby continue to constitute one District, the
Towns of Enfield and Newfield, another, and the Towns of Groton,
Lansing and Ulysses, one District each
Compared with the present apportionment, the City of Ithaca has two
less Representatives, and the Town of Ithaca, one more The other seven
Districts remain unchanged.
The Czty of Ithaca
In the recommended plan, the City's Representative Districts or Wards
are altered most, and have required the Committee's most careful con-
sideration in replacing the present seven Districts with the proposed five
The plan shown on the accompanying map and reflected in Table 1 is
the most suitable among the numerous alternatives considered It is
recommended unanimously by the Committee
April 20, 1972 107
In revising District lines within the City the Committee was guided
by the following criteria which are listed in order of importance
1) Equality of Population According to the 1970 Census None of the
five Districts deviates from the countywide average district popu-
lation of 5,137 by more than 9 percent This is much less than the
17 percent in the 1969 reapportionment plan The population of
Districts A, B and E is above average, principally in order to in-
clude substantial numbers of registered voters in Districts contain-
ing areas of high student concentrations The population of Dis-
trict D on the west side of the City is 8 percent below average
principally in anticipation of new future growth resulting from the
317 housing units nearing completion on Elm Street under Ithaca
Housing Authority auspices
2) Substantial Numbers of Registered Voters Every District has at
least 1,000 registered voters, ranging from 1,066 in District A on
the northeast side of the City to 1,964 in District C on the south
side The compelling reason for drawing boundaries of Districts A
and B to include both downtown areas and parts of East Hill with
its Cornell campus is to encompass substantial numbers of registered
voters along with areas of high student concentrations These new
boundaries, we recognize, do violence to the objective of preserving
areas of historic common identity within a common political dis-
trict insofar as the Fall Creek and Central areas are concerned It
has appeared impossible, however, to adhere to this objective in
these instances and at the same time to observe the higher priorities
of approximately equal population on the one hand, and sub-
stantial numbers of registered voters on the other.
3) P7eservation of Common Identity of Neighborhoods With only five
Representative Districts instead of seven, and with the above over-
riding criteria to be considered, it has been impossible to adhere to
this criterion in all cases, as indicated immediately above. The
West Hill and South Hill areas remain in one District, however, as
does much of the area on East Hill that is south of the Cascadilla
Creek gorge
4) Growth Prospects for the Immediate Future Significant popula-
tion increases will result from occupancy of Ithaca Housing Au-
thority projects now nearing completion These include the Han-
cock area housing estimated to house 454 people, the Titus area
high-rise estimated to house 200, and the 317 units on Elm Street
Repiesentative District lines are so drawn as to locate each of these
protects in a different District This is the principal reason for in-
cluding the Hancock area outside of District D, where the Elm
Street project is located, and within District A
5) Preservation of Election Districts Drawing Representative District
boundaries through Election Districts was kept at a minimum con-
sistent with other criteria The purpose is to require a minimum of
108 April 20, 1972
change for voters in voting locations, and foi administration of
elections
The Town of Ithaca
The recommended plan divides the Town of Ithaca into three dis-
tricts instead of the present two The land area of the Town has a rough-
ly U -shape, completely surrounding the City except on the north where
Cayuga Lake is situated District A is on the west and south, District B on
the south and east, and District C on the north including the East Shore
of the Lake and most of the Village of Cayuga Heights, as shown on the
accompanying map
The deviation in population from the countywide average of 5,137
ranges from 0 percent in District A to 3 percent in District B, as shown in
Table 1 Voter registrations range from 1,363 to 2,485 The large popula-
tion increases and the differing increases in different parts of the Town
have required crossing boundaries of both the Village of Cayuga Heights
and of Election Districts with the Representative District lines in order to
achieve approximate equality of Census counts among Representative
Districts
To achieve approximate equality between Districts A and B, it was
necessary to draw a line through the Ithaca College dormitory area, and
to split Block 914 of Census Enumeration District 28 which includes the
College campus and nearby area In dividing this Block, estimates were
made by obtaining dormitory populations from the College and allocat-
ing the remaining Block population proportionately to the number of
houses in that Block More specifically, Representative District A in-

The Town of Dryden
The recommended apportionment plan leaves unchanged the two
Representative Districts in the Town of Dryden, as shown on the ac-
companying map
April 20, 1972 109
Our predecessor Committee in preparing its plan of 1969 carefully
considered these Dryden Districts together with other alternatives shown
in its report It recommended that the District lines follow the then -
existing Election Districts rather than the Census Enumeration Districts
because following the latter districts would violate residential patterns of
the Town
These patterns have not shifted materially in the ensuing three years
except to bring Repiesentative District A in southwest Dryden closer to
the countywide average population per District than prior to the 1970
Census The 1970 Census provided population counts for smaller geo-
graphic areas than theretofore, through more Census Enumeration Dis-
tricts and providing Block counts within such districts, but the present
Dryden Representative Districts are sufficiently close to the countywide
average population to make highly questionable the desirability of shift-
ing these Districts once more, within three years of laying them out As
shown in Table 1, Dryden,District A is only 2 percent under the county-
wide average District population, and District B is 8 percenc In the re-
apportionment plan of 1969, District A was 14 percent, and District B, 8
percent under the average, using the 1960 Census figures
The populations of the two Dryden Representative Districts are esti-
mated within the limits of the Town total Where Census Blocks are
split by the Representative District line, the populatiott on either side
of the line is assumed to be proportionate to number of louses Represen-
tative District A includes Census Enumeration Distria 63 and parts of
others It includes all of No 62 except part of the one Block listed below
It includes part of No 59, all of Blocks 926, 927, 948 949, 950 and parts
of other Blocks listed below Blocks spht by the Representative District
line are listed below in sequence from the northwes. segment of the line

The Other Towns
The recommended plan leaves unchanged the five Representative Dis-
tricts in the remaining seven towns Groton, Lansing and Ulysses each
comprise a District Caroline and Danby together constitute one District,
and Enfield together with Newfield, another
The deviations from the countywide average population per Repre-
sentative District of 5,137 range from 16 percent over the average in
Lansing to 12 percent under in Ulysses, as Table 1 shows The Caroline -
Danby District is 9 percent under average The other two Districts are
within 5 percent of the average.
The Lansing and Ulysses deviations are the extremes among all Dis-
tricts in the County Except for them, the range is from 9 percent over
average in District A of the City to 9 percent under in Carohne-Danby
In the 1969 reapportionment plan, deviations using the 1960 Census
ranged from 17 percent over the average to 14 percent under The plan
recommended here therefore reduces slightly the range of percentage
deviations
As already sated, your Committee justifies these deviations in order
that Representative District lines follow city or town boundaries as in
the present apportionment plan and as in past history of the County
It cannot give positive assurance that these departures from equality of
Census counts among Districts are within margins of judicial tolerance,
but believes the deviations are strongly defensible, and has laid out the
defense here in sone detail
If the Board of Representatives prefers smaller percentage deviations
from the norm, they can be had, but at a cost of ignoring one or more
of the criteria set forth here The crossing of town and possibly city
boundaries is part of th, cost
In relation to Lansing '.nd Ulysses, which show the extreme deviations,
the Committee has studrd an alternative to the plan recommended
which would add part of t1e Town of Ithaca to the Ulysses Representa-
tive District, and add- part of Lansing to an Ithaca District It has not
carried its studies sufftcieitiy far to determine how to add to the
Caroline -Danby District at 9 percent under the norm It prefers the
recommended plan to a carbgraphical exercise aimed at absolute arith-
metic equality of Census co\nts unrestrained by other stabilizing con-
sidei ations
The County As a Whole
Your Committee has prepaed the plan recommended here within
the requirement of the CountyGharter as it has understood the Charter
Early in Committee discussion weighted voting possibilities were dis-
April 20, 1972 111
carded partly because they did not appear to be permitted by the Charter
with its specification of single member districts
Perhaps needless to say, one criterion which the Committee did not
consider was party advantage in drawing Representative District lines
The Committee has appreciated that its role as a citizen group is to view
reapportionment at least one step removed from party partisanship, and
to reach sensible agreement on a plan which the Board could easily have
great difficulty in preparing for itself because of the impact on indi-
vidual Representatives, and party and other interests
The Relation of Reapportionment to the Ithaca Common Council
In preparing the 1969 reapportionment plan, two Aldermen (Arthur
Stallman and Arnold Tolles) of the City of Ithaca Common Council
served on the Citizen's Committee and were of course aware that the
new Representative District boundaries might also serve to delineate
Wards for purposes of electing Aldermen The seven City Wards reflected
the City's proper share of a 16 -person Board of Representatives, and so
no change in number of Wards or number of Representatives on the
County Board was likely to be involved
Since the 1970 Census, the need for a relative loss of City representa-
tion has been apparent to anyone interested in reapportionment locally
The repercussions on Common Council representation are more com-
plex than in 1969
The 15 -person County Board requires five persons from the City in as
many Representative Districts If the City were again to conform the
Aldermanic Waids with the County Districts, it would require a change
in the number on the Common Council from the present 14 persons If
there were to continue to be two persons from -each Ward, Common
Council membership would be reduced to 10
If the City does not use the County Representative Districts as City
Wards from which to elect Aldermen, then _he City would have two
electoral maps, one for City and the other for County purposes Some re-
sulting possibilities for chaos were pointed out, in the report of our
predecessor Committee, and will not be repeted here We urge that the
City study and avert these possibilities

Representative Culligan, Social and Health Services, said they had met

Health Board recommended that the Board of Representatives set aside
the resolution which restricts the quarterly funding available to Challenge

private sector of the community should commit additional funds as

pated To get through this year Challenge Industries would need ad-
ditional operating funds of $17,800 Still facing them is the problem of
purchasing the Old Ithaca Textile Building If they were to proceed with
plans for acquisition of the building, they would need county funds of
approximately $18,700. There was projected acquisition and renovation
costs of $396,000 Of that, federal and state monies have been projected
at $169,000 leaving $225,000 to be acquired locally The Mental Health
Board is still working on the aid portion of the acquisition of the building
so the $225,000 may not be a firm figure He said there is a possibility
that United Fund might consider a grant of $5,000 and a major employees
group through Ithaca Enterprise Fund is considering a grant or loan of
approximately $15,000 There is a resolution to be presented later in the

June 27, 1972 163
REPORT
PROPOSED AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT NO 1,
TOWN OF DRYDEN
Part I Recommendations
It is recommended that the proposed Agricultural District No 1,
located in the Town of Dryden, and consisting of 1,670 acres of land
and including portions or all of the farms owned by Martin G Beck,
Merton Webb, Charles Hatfield, Roger Hatfield, and Kermit Marquis
(petitioners) and located northeast of the Village of Freeville generally
along the Fall Creek Road, be approved along the boundaries sub-
mitted by the petitioners 'It is further recommended that consideration
be given to the, inclusion within the district of other viable farmlands
located within the immediate vicinity, upon petition of the owners indi-
cating that they wish to be included within the district
Part II. Supporting Information
A Viability of Farmland Included within the Proposed District and
Adjacent Thereto
The report submitted by the Agricultural District Advisory Committee
contains detailed soil information which is confirmed by information
available and prepared by the Tompkins County Planning Department.
Based upon this information and other information, including the
Tompkins County Soil Association Map, the "Economic Viabihty of
' Farm Areas" map and report prepared by Howard E Conklin and
Robert E Linton of the New York State School of Agriculture at Cornell
University, it is concluded that the land in the proposed district has a
' high economic viability for agricultural purposes
The findings also indicate that farmlands adjacent to the proposed
district, particularly to the south and Itiest, also have a high economic
viability for agriculture and could very well be included within the dis-
trict However, the property owners have not indicated, at this time, that
they wish to be included If adjacent or nearby landowners appear at the
hearing and ask to be included, it is suggested that their requests be
given favorable consideration, subject to a review of the proposed en-
larged district There is sufficient additional farmland in the vicinity to
establish a separate district in the future, if it is so desired
B Land Use Trends in the Vicinity
1 Village of Freeville
A portion of the proposed district extends into the northeast corner
of the Village of Freeville That portion within the Village of Freeville
consists of active farmland or open space, not yet developed Inquiries
made of the representatives of the Village of Freeville on the County
164 June 27, 1972
Planning Board and the mayor of the village, indicate that there seems
to be no serious objection for inclusion of lands within the village in the
proposed Agricultural District It is, however, recommended that there
be specific mention of the inclusion of this land in the proposed district
at the public hearing, so that there will be opportunity on the part of
others to comment It is not anticpated at this time that the impact of
the Agricultural District within the village will seriously affect future
developments which will most likely be in the form of modest residential
growth Although there is a theoretical potential for commercial or in-
dustrial growth within the Village of Fieeville, the probability that this
will occur within the foreseeable future is unlikely Public water and
sewer are not available within the village and the cost of providing
these facihties is comparatively great It is therefore concluded that
there is no serious land use conflict between the Village of Freeville
and the proposed district, at least within the 8 -year first phase life span
of the proposed district
2 Nature and Extent of Non -Farmland Use Trends
a Wzthzn Proposed Dzstizct
The total estimated acieage within the proposed district is 1,670 and of
this acreage, 92 percent, or 1,532 acres, are owned by the petitioners It
is reported that the petitioners own in aggregate 378 milk cows and 300
heifers and calves
A review of the available land use inventories developed by this de-
partment, the Cooperative Extension Service, and Cornell Univeisity in-
dicates that of a total of 1,670 acres in the proposed district, 63 percent
are in crop land, and 23 percent are in pasture land, making a total of
86 percent in agriculture Ten percent of the lands are wooded and the
remaining 4 percent are essentially open space or marsh lands It is
therefore apparent that the lands within the proposed district are
essentially farm in character, and that there is no significant conflict with
other existing land uses within the district A small gravel pit is sur-
rounded by the proposed district
b Lands Adjacent to the Distrzct
The lands adjacent to the district or within the immediate influence of
the district are either active farms or open space consisting of wooded
lands and marsh areas, with the following exceptions A portion of the
proposed district is actually located in the northeast corner of the Vil-
lage of Freeville The portion included within the village is farm or
open space It borders low density residential areas and a small com-
mercial district within the village In addition, the community of McLean
is located a little less than one mile to the north The community is
essentially low density residential with a small commercial center There
is under construction a 36 -unit single-family subdivision along County
Road 105 (Creek Road) just noith of Mott Road within a few hundred
June 27, 1972 165
feet of the proposed district There also exists a mobile home park stiII
under development (about 50 units) located just south of the com-
munity of McLean along the Creek Road
Although these developments indicate a trend toward more residential
use of the lands in the vicinity, the trend is modest at the present time.
It does, however, indicate that the lands in the vicinity are attractive for
residential development and there will undoubtedly be continued but
modest pressure along these lines
c Tompkins -Cortland Community College
An evaluation was made of the possible interaction of the new campus
for the Tompkins -Cortland Community College (currently under con-
struction just north of the Village of Dryden) with the proposed Agricul-
tural District The college is essentially a commuter institution and it is
not anticipated at this time that the college will generate a need for ex-
tensive housing or commercial enterprises Such housing as may be needed
and desirable can easily occur on non -Agricultural District lands within
the vicinity
d Proposed Route 13 Limited -Access Highway
Perhaps the greatest impact of the proposed district is on the corridor
location of a proposed Route 13 limited -access highway between Ithaca
and Cortland This is part of the so-called Appalachia Thruway Al-
though several corridors have been proposed, the one which seemed to
find the most favor locally is one that passed through the proposed dis-
trict In addition to the possible conflict with the proposed dis-
trict itself, the mobile home park just south of the community of McLean
is also located along the corridor Investigations have been made on the
possible rerouting of the corridor to the north to avoid all except the
fringe areas of the proposed Agricultural District Although this is feas-
ible, it will quite likely result in additional costs and in a less favorable
topography
It must be emphasized that the State Department of Transportation
has not yet made known its recommendation for a corridor selection`
The corridor hearing was held in 1971 and planning on the highway is
active and continuing It is quite possible that the proposed district will
add serious constraints to what appears to be the most appropriate cor-
ridor The proposed highway is very important to the economic and
social functioning of the county, and care must be taken to insure that
an acceptable corridor remains open The proposed highway 'will pro-
vide Tompkins County with a limited -access highway linked directly to
I-81 and New York 17
Nevertheless, it is not appropriate to oppose the Agricultural District
on this basis Several alternate corridor locations are still available but
166 July 10, 1972
options will be reduced Additional activity in extension of this pio-
posed district or proposals for other districts in the arca must be ex-
amined closely to make sure that all viable corridors are not interdicted
by agricultural districts It is well known that the proposed Agricultural
District No 1 was partly motivated by the corridor proposal Tompkins
County needs both improved highways and preserved agricultural lands
Both can be and must be achieved with as little conflict as possible
It is proposed that there be an interchange on the new highway where
it intersects Route 38, north of Freeville This interchange will provide
good access to Freeville, Groton, Dryden and vicinity It will add ad-
ditional pressures for development activities It is felt that these will be
modest in the short range but more so in the long range Construction of
the proposed highway is perhaps 5 to 10 years into the future
Mr Ronald Beck, representing the farmers in the district, said they
recognize the need for Route 13 corridor but want consideration so they
may survive in agriculture
There being no objections to the proposed Agricultural District No 1
in the Town of Dryden, the meeting adjourned at 8 29 p m

ADDENDUM OF AUGUST 14 TO REPORT OF THE
TOMPKINS COUNTY REAPPORTIONMENT COMMITTEE
SUBMITTED TO THE TOMPKINS COUNTY
BOARD OF REPRESENTATIVES APRIL 17, 1972
The Committee met August 10, 1972 to consider an alternative plan
for reapportioning the City of Ithaca The plan was devised by a re-
apportionment committee approved by the City Common Council on
July 19, recommended to the Common Council by its Committee on
Intergovernmental Relations (chaired by Donald Slattery) , and ap-
proved unanimously by the Common Council on August 9 A copy of
the City Reapportionment Committee's report and its map of the five
proposed districts is appended.
The Chairman of the County Committee offered Mayor Conley advice
and assistance of his Committee for the City Committee. Mr. Slattery
subsequently requested on August 6 that the County Committee consider
the City Committee's plan The County Committee accordingly met fol-
lowing City Council approval of the plan and prior to a public hearing
scheduled for August 14 by the County Board of Representatives on the
County Committee's original plan for the entire County recommended
in its report of April 17.
The dates cited here indicate the limited time for Committee con-
sideration of the City alternative after a lapse of almost four months since
submitting its report. Notwithstanding midsummer vacation and other
activities, and the short notice, 6 of the 8 County Committee members
attended the meeting, and agreed unanimously with conclusions ex-
pressed here Ruth DeWire and Florence Rumph were out of the com-
munity Florence Rumph, until recently a long-time resident of the
City, gave her proxy to John Clynes who is also a city resident of long
standing These two committee members together with Alvin Knepper,
also a city resident, gave much time to study of city reapportionment
alternatives during the months that the Committee was at work
Conclusions Arzszng from the Czty Action
1 The Committee of course supports the plan for the City that it
recommended in April after several months of preparation Unfavorable
reaction to the plan by some in the City, the Committee conjectures, is
partly the result of disappointment over the loss of two representatives
on the County Board and the reduction of 7 city districts to 5 The
Committee plan for the City in a sense is a sacrifice, if the proposal by
the City is adopted, to reconciliation of the City to this disagreeable fact
resulting from city population loss between 1960 and 1970 censuses
2 The Committee is impressed by the unanimity of support for the
City proposal from the City Reapportionment Committee, the Council's
196 August 14, 1972
Intergovernmental Relations Committee, and the City Council itself We
have had no opportunity to observe whether there is similar support
among the County Board Representatives from the City If there is, it
would add to the impression of a strong degree of satisfaction with the
City proposal among local government representatives within the City.
3 As the figures in the accompanying table show when compared with
Table 1 of the Committee's April 17 report, the City proposal results in
smaller population differences among the five districts than this Com-
mittee's plan In the Committee plan, deviations from the countywide
average of 5,137 persons per district ranged from 4- 9% to -8% In
the City plan, the range is from + 4% to -3% All of the major new
housing projects, however, which housed none at the time of the 1970
Census, are located in the west side district under the City proposal The
County Committee's plan located each of three projects in different dis-
tricts, anticipating them as sources of future growth

Total 26,203* 7,895
* Adds to 23 less than Census total because the Census omitted these individuals
from block tabulations in order to protect confidentiality of information for isolated
individuals
** In split election districts, registered voters were divided accoiding to the ratio of
registered voters to population in the district This ratio was applied to population
in each part of the divided district
4 The City proposal results in somewhat greater differences in num-
bers of registered voters among the five districts than the Committee's
plan (see accompanying statistics and Table 1 of the Committee's April
17 report) In the Committee plan, registered voters ranged from 1,066
to 1,964 In the City plan, the range is from 994 to 2,111 While the
greater disparity in the City plan is regrettable, it is not by a wide enough
margin to occasion serious Committee concern
5 A piimary point inspiring the City proposal is that it gives "par-
ticular attention to the preservation of neighborhoods " This Committee
could question how well the plan conforms districts with neighborhoods,
as we could question our own plan The City proposal demonstrates that
it is probably impossible to divide the City into five areas that do not
do some violence to neighborhood considerations
August 14, 1972 197
6 The violence done to election districts in the City plan is sufficient
to require widespread reorganization of those districts In the City
plan, boundaries of the five representative districts divide 11 of the 21
election districts, in the County Committee plan, 3 of the 21 The County
Committee regarded maintenance of election districts as the lowest of five
factors in priority in drawing new representative district lines, and so
does not regard this factor as having primary importance The redrawing
of election districts required by the City plan nevertheless places addi-
tional work on the Board of Elections, requires informing voters, and
necessitates other reorientation in relation to administration of elections
7. There must be a better way of reapportioning the City for county
representation purposes than the one followed this time On the one
hand, the County must decide how much representation from the City
is required relative to the rest of the County, On the other, the City
has an understandable concern because it must reapportion the City
Council, and it is highly desirable to conform aldermanic districts with
county representative districts In this respect the City is unlike the
towns because the towns elect town board members at large rather than
by districts
This Committee recommends to the County Board for future reference
at the time of the next Census, that it consider with special attention how
to reflect in the reapportionment process, the City's legitimate interest
in participating As one alternative, we suggest that a county committee
first decide the appropriate number of representatives on the County
Board from the City. This proposal might be publicized and acted upon
by the County Board Then the City might be asked to participate in
drawing district lines within the City, or it might be delegated entire
responsibility for those lines This recommendation assumes that both
County and City will continue to elect representatives from districts
rather than at large or by some other method. It also assumes that it
will continue to be possible to avoid crossing municipal boundaries in
drawing county representative district boundaries
Mrs Louise deLaurentis spoke opposing the committees plan because
of a 28% population deviation and urged the plan be modified
The hearing was closed at 10 23 a m and the board meeting was re-
convened
Under privilege of the floor, Mrs Bernice Tutton spoke to the board.
She felt the complaint against the Board of Elections took too long to be
resolved and should have been thoroughly investigated and a decision
made and complaintants notified prior to any reappointment This was
referred to the Intergovernmental Relations Committee
Under privilege of the floor, Mr Gabriel Meckenberg spoke relative
to a civil defense communications system He asked that this matter be
referred to the proper committee for further study and action The
chairman referred it to the Public Safety and Correction Committee
198 August 14, 1972
Under privilege of the floor, Pauline Darrett spoke to the board com-
plaining that her job as a laboratory technician had been wrongly taken
from her and given to someone else
The chairman said a sectional meeting of the County Officers Associ-
ation will be held September 18 to consider legislative matters concerning
counties and to make recommendation to the N Y S Legislature for
action in the 1973 Session Any legislation the board has that should be
considered, should let him know.
Various committee chairmen reported at this time
Representative Holden, Planning and Public Works Committee, said
that the question of having a deputy sheriff at the landfill site longer
was discussed; Howard Stevenson was authorized to go ahead with the
storm center, the parking lot is now open and seems to be working out
well; they discussed carpeting in the representatives' offices and it was
decided to wait until something is worked out for improving the whole
board chamber He reported on the flood damage to the Groton bridge;
Glenn Turner, airport manager, brought them up-to-date on the airport;
there will be a resolution for the award of bid on a sewage pond at the
county home.
Representative Kerr spoke relative to the cost of planning some addi-
tional details on security at the airport It will increase the cost in draw-
ing up the master plan. However, the increase would be covered by the
funds other than county. There will be a resolution authorizing this
increase Also, the committee will be meeting to discuss the installation
of the Instiument Landing System and the tower plans are finished and
accepted and construction has started
Representative` Marcham, Intergovernmental Relations, said they dis-
cussed and approved some additional registration days, times and places
Also, in cooperation with the personnel committee, they have been work-
ing on the question of how to deal with personnel problems at the Com-
munity College The College would like to be more independent and
the committee feels they should be more involved in the rating of their
civil service jobs.
Representative Lee, Budget and Administration, said the county con-
tinues to have a problem of people purchasing property for back taxes in
a given year then someone else buys the property the next year, — then
there is a question of who owns property and where should the tax bills
be sent The County Attorney has been asked to formulate an appropri-
ate due process procedure which they can hopefully begin to implement
in the month of September at which time they are also going to explore
the possibility of a public auction procedure to auction off the various
county properties Also, he said the Assessment Department will notify
the property owners in the flood area, particularly in Lansing, afflicted
August 14, 1972 199
with water damage, that there can be no correction on the assessment
for the property. The closing date on tax rolls is May 1. He also told
the board that in the next 10 days the board may be polled for support
for the possible need to appropriate or go through procedures of adver-
tising for two temporary proofreaders in the assessment department as
the county goes to the final conversion of rolls to the computer. Also,
the committee will be recommending to the Public Safety and Correction
Committee that the county judges be removed from the county classifi-
cation system. He reported that welfare expenditures continue to rise
far in excess of the amount budgeted At the end of July expenditures
were running 1 8 million dollars ahead of the budgeted amount. He said
the letter from Representative Abbott which was referred to his commit-
tee pertinent to the Director of Social Services situation where one per-
son is holding down three positions, they will be giving a written response
to the Social and Health Services Committee
Representative Leary reported that a recommendation on the District
Attorney's request for more staff would be made before the next meeting
in September.
Representative Abbott said there will be a Special Sales Tax Committee
Meeting next week.
Representative Kerr asked the County Attorney when a hearing would
be held on the matter of the suspension of the Commissioner of Social

PUBLIC HEARING
Proposed Agricultural District No. 2
Town of Ulysses
Tuesday, August 15, 1972
Representatives Harry Kerr called the meeting to order at 8.00 p m
The Clerk of the Board read the notice of public hearing on Proposed
Agricultural District No 2 in the Town of Ulysses as printed in the
official newspapers on August 9, 1972
, Present were Representatives Harry Kerr, Arthur Golder, Jr, and
Claude Holden, Commissioner of Planning Frank Liguori, Supervisor of
the Town of Ulysses Bruce Payne, County Extension Agent Glenn Cline,
Brad Griffin of the Department of Environmental Conservation, and
approximately thirty-five landowners from the proposed district.
Commissioner of Planning Frank Liguori gave a brief description of
the proposed Agricultural District No 2 that would include the entire
Town of Ulysses except the Village of Trumansburg and the community
of Jacksonville The application as submitted included 13,500 acres, rep-
resenting 59% of the land in the entire town including the Village of
Trumansburg. The people who submitted the petition own 5,796 acres
which is 43% of the land The petition is adequate and meets the re-
quirements of the law In reviewing the application before the Agricul-
tural District Advisory Committee, there was considerable discussion on
the validity of extending the district to include the whole Town of
Ulysses, not including the Village This presented a possibility of a much
simpler administration The land in the town, not including the Village,
as a whole is 23,000 acres, and 8,000 acres is already in active agricultural
land This represents about one-third of the Town of Ulysses The active
agricultural land in the Town of Ulysses represents about 8 3% of the
active farm land in Tompkins County A study of soils indicates that 80%
of the soils are suitable for farming and is classed as good farming soil.
Based on this type of statistical data, it seems valid and appropriate at
this hearing to consider the possibility of including the entire town as an
agricultural district In the 1960's, the county had a population increase
of 16% At the same time, the Town of Ulysses had an increase of 4 5%
and the Village of Trumansburg increased about 2% The Town of
Ulysses is not located in what we consider the growth corridor of the
area Housing is scattered, and the only water and sewer is located in the
Village of Trumansburg
Representative Golder stated that he supported maintenance of good
agricultural land but questioned the idea of designating the whole town
392 August 15, 1972
as an agricultural district. He felt it might create problems for the zon-
ing officer, problems for projects that anticipated using Federal funds,
and might close the door on an already low -development rate within the
town
Bruce Payne, Supervisor of the Town of Ulysses, said their Board ap
proved the district in April
Questions were asked by persons in attendance, and Ernest Cole ex-
plained that the law does not say that Federal funds cannot be used, it
does not stop action, it just delays 30 days, or if the Commissioner of En-
vironmental Conservation feels it is not advantageous, he can delay an
additional 60 days Zoning ordinances already in effect are not changed
by agricultural districts He felt a larger district to be more efficient in
operation and administrative procedures Agricultural districts are re
viewed every eight years If a farmland owner within the district has
received a tax advantage and then wants to sell, he will pay a roll -back
over five years
Several of the farmland owners within the district expressed approval of
the proposed agricultural district to preserve farmland
Various persons requesting to be heard questioned the advisability of
including the whole Town of Ulysses in the district, a request to retain
the residential areas, would the district inhibit future development of
the town, what effect on present and future zoning ordinances, what
effect would the district have on relocation of Route 96, would agricul-
tural districts restrict property owners in doing what they wished with
their land (Mr Cole said it does nothing to or for the non -farmland
owner) ; what was the anticipated effect on tax rates, an opinion that the
administrative costs should not mandate the whole town as an agricul-
tural district, and that intent to stop urban sprawl should not stop roads,
and one person suggested that the district be put to a vote
Representative Kerr said that was the purpose of this public hearing
so that everyone could have a chance to make feelings known to those
who will be taking legislative action on the district The Agricultuial
District Advisory Committee will now review the district and minutes of
the public hearing and will decide on whether or not to recommend the
proposal
Representative Kerr declared the public hearing closed at 10 00 p m

PUBLIC HEARING
Monday, November 20, 1972
Chairman Graves called the public hearing on the 1973 County
Budget to order in the Court Room at 7 30 p m
The Clerk read the Notice of Public Hearing and the Chairman intro-
duced the Board of Representatives' Members He also commended the
Budget and Administration Committee and the Commissioner of Budget
and Administration, for a very fine effort in putting together this 24 mil-
lion -plus 1973 budget under very trying circumstances, such as misin-
formation "either intentional or unintentional," lack of cooperation and
outright defiance by some department heads to requests for additional in-
formation The taxpayers demand and are entitled to, a factual account-
ing of all expenditures by each and every department This was spelled
out to the Budget and Administration Committee by the Executive Com-
mittee of this Board It was directed to curtail the rapid rate of spending.
He said this county over the past 18 years has been the leader in imple-
menting every public service inalienable in New York State, such as
hospital, airport, public health, landfill, community college, planning,
library, county assessing, to name a few, so they do recognize need and
do believe in progress.
Mr Gary Lee, Chairman .of the Budget and Administration Committee,
stated it is the objective to make every effort to stabilize the tax rates as
best as possible Sales Tax Revenues are committed to application of the
sales tax revenues to the reduction of property tax rates It was the origi-
nal objective which the sales tax was adopted by the Board of Supervisors
The cooperation assistance which the Budget Committee has had from
department heads has been excellent and outside agencies, and working
committees of the board The difficult task has been to attempt to scruti-
nize justification for contingencies request for increased expenditures He
explained four factors 1) He said the budget before us includes the 1972
personnel services rates as negotiations have not been concluded yet for
a new contract and they have estimated under the contingency allocation
what an appropriate amount should be once the contract is negotiated.
2) revenue sharing — they do not have explicit information as to what
this will mean A seminar meeting will be held in Rochester on Decem-
ber 5 pertinent to revenue sharing Every indication leads them to the
tentative conclusion that it may mean an actual cutback in monies re-
ceived from the federal government instead of increases Consequently,
it would be foolish to budget on the income side monies that they don't
have Once they ascertain what monies they will receive, it must be held
in trust, that it is limited to certain expenditures and those revenues
will be applied to fiscal 1974 3) The concept of encumbrances — they
are encumbering projected balances by line item forward to this next
year's budget
286 November 20, 1972
Mr Golder stated that Challenge Industries and Association for Re-
tarded Children are two private organizations with whom the county
contracts for services to the handicapped For a long time it has been
recommended that these two agencies combine to provide the services to
eliminate duplication of programs, administrative expense, facilities and
equipment and with the view that a combined operation would be able
to perhaps effect new programs This board went on record as stating it
would not fund separate programs in 1973 Many, many hours were spent
in 1972 in putting together this kind of a program for 1973 A very active
laison committee was formed with members of the Board of Directors of
Challenge and ARC Plans were made for a new facility that would house
both agencies Now they have just learned that the ARC has decided they
are not going to participate in this program which leaves the Board of
Representatives in a peculiar situation He will submit an amendment to
the budget regarding this matter later in the meeting
John Murphy, Commissioner of Budget and Administration, explained
the proposed budget and opened the floor for questions and answers
Dr Robert Broad, Commissioner of Health talked about what he felt
was a lack of communication between his department and the board and
the policy of encumbering monies from 1972
Mrs Ruth DeWire, Chairman of the Comprehensive Health Plan-
ning Council, read a letter which was written to Chairman Graves which
stated the Health Department has requested $15,000 in contingency funds
to be expended in design of a nurse clinician service in that department
Dr Robert Hamhsch, Director of Mental Health Services, asked for
four things he felt were crucial 1) An assistant to Mrs Waldman, 2)
social worker position for the three contract agencies, 3) Meadow House
janitorial service and 4) client stipend for Meadow House clients, for
work incentives
Wesley McDermott, former member of Association of Retarded Child-
ren Board of Directors and combined committee of Challenge -ARC
Board, which was given the responsibility of reorganizing these two or-
ganizations, spoke explaining the move to withdraw from the planned
merger
A representative of the League of Women Voters was concerned about
the apparent cuts in the budget for the Board of Elections Mr Lee
stated that their budget was not cut

Also, the committee met with the Intergovernmental Relations Commit-
tee relative to community college funding
Mrs Schickel, Intergovernmental Relations, reported on the progress
of the community college construction She said the percentage of work
completed or started is general construction — 29%, electrical — 18%,
plumbing — 46% The time elapsed — 26 1% of total construction time
The heating and ventilation is 2% and they have been on the job 19%
of the time Bad weather conditions have slowed steel election and ap-
proximately eight working days have been lost on steel erection due to
snow, ice, wind or wet steel They are working on the final one-third of
the structure The electrical contractor is on schedule, the plumbing is
ahead of schedule and some of the planting has been done Relative to
the interior furnishings, the Dormitory Authouty will be very closely
involved The college will submit the various items and anything that
is in state contract the college is able to negotiate and if it cannot be
obtained thru state contract, the Dormitory Authority bids them. The
Authority would pay for the equipment and they would be reimbursed
The Authority and SUNY are still working on an agreement between
them and the agreement is to come to the two sponsoring counties hope-
fully by December 15 The two sponsoring bodies will have to agree by
resolution by December 30 so they can have payment by January 15
from the Dormitory Authority for the State's share If this is not done,
the counties may have to go into borrowing
Mr Marcham, Intergovernmental Relations, stated there was an
uneasiness on Commissioner Murphy's part because the construction com-
mittee was given authority to spend up to the total amount of the con-
tract The IGR committee approved procedures that the construction
committee adopted to formally act on each change -order in advance of
audit, and all contracts are to be approved as soon as possible in ad-
vance of payment and audit by this board Relative to the question of
claims for change -orders against the architects for faulty plans, they
were satisfied that approximately $30,000 of changes were made so far
in the plans These are not an unreasonable amount for a job this size
The net amount of changes so far is $67,000 They may not add more
than $20,000-$30,000 more The construction committee wants the op-
tion of being able to add change -orders under the blanket approval the
Board gave them The Intergovernmental Committee discussed with
them, on behalf of the Budget and Administration Committee, the possi-
bility of withdrawing some of their authorization for the contingent
funds The question was taken to the Budget Committee for a deci-
sion There is no agreement as to amount They want to leave the main
obligation to the construction committee but monitor the activities of the
construction and contingency as work continues If there are no objec-
tions, the full amount of contingency will be allowed to them

district has not charged any assessment to the county or Cornell As of the
beginning of this year the town felt they should begin charging the
county a standard assessment so the county is delt with the same as any-
one in the district Regardless of whether the county sells the sewer,
it is the understanding that the assessment will be approximately $1200
per year based on water consumption and other factors This sewer was
constructed before the organization of any sewer districts in the Town
of Ithaca or Town of Lansing Subsequently, the district was organized
