out and commended the- Commissioner of Budget and Administration
and the Director of Assessment for the fine job. He also said he has re-
ceived many calls from the villages pertinent to the 80% increase in their
tax bills but many are taking their sales tax revenues in cash and con-
sequently they should see a corresponding reduction when the tax bills
come out for the villages. He also noted relative to Groff Associates' pro-
posal for the housing project in the Town of Ithaca, the committee agreed
to invite Mrs. Holcomb, Chairman of the Planning Committee of the
Town of Ithaca, to brief them on the background of the project before a
decision is made pertinent to whether they will grant stabilized tax or
guaranteed taxes in the future. Also, sometime this month the committee
will plan a one or two-day retreat to review some of the goals that they
would like to reach for 1973. Also, a project pertinent to programs and
the cost of such programs, For example, the Community College Budget.
They would like to forecast what that budget would look like for the
next few years. He said he is hopeful that a recommendation will come

the time of Board meetings.
Mr. MacNeil, Planning and Public Works, said the airport has to com-
ply with a federally mandated rule, effective February 6, for security
guards. This was discussed with Sheriff Robert Howard and there is a
possibility of using Sheriff's Deputies between 6:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.
daily while enplaning passengers. The airline is responsible for screen-
ing and if they feel a passenger is questionable, the deputy would be in-
formed. Also, there was a meeting relative to putting up partitions in the
terminal building for a holding area for people after they have gone
through security check. There will be a resolution on this later in the

Mrs. Schickel gave a progress report on the community college con-
struction. She said general construction is 32% completed; electrical 19%;
plumbing 56%; heating, ventilating and air-conditioning 5%. The bad
weather has slowed steel erection and metal roof deck placement work.
The contractor asked for an extension but the construction committee
resolved not to allow it at this time. Since then, they asked for a ten-day
extension for the same reason. Approximately 80% of the superstructure
has been erected and expect completion in one to two weeks depending
on the weather. The Pittsburgh Testing Company found some things to
be corrected but nothing of a serious nature. The entrance road has
caused great concern and Frank Liguori, Planning Commissioner, and
the State Engineer have been working on the problem.
It was Moved by Mr. Kerr, seconded by Mr. Culligan, That a resolu-

Underprivilege of the floor, Mr. Marcham reported on the recommen-
dations of the Tompkins County Comprehensive Health Planning Coun-
cil which was asked to prepare a statement on the main needs in the
health field of the county. They recommend: 1) The first area of recom-
mendation is the hospital — the Board of Representatives take all steps
to provide hospital facilities that meet the standards of the various regula-
tory bodies and our own standards of safe, efficient, up-to-date patient
care, 2) Family Care Clinics — The Board of Representatives should
endorse the application of the hospital to the Appalachian Commission
to finance the establishment of two demonstration clinics intended to
become largely self-supporting and operated as a part of the hospital's
program of services, 3) Nurse -Clinician Program — a request has been
made by the Health Department to the Board of Representatives to estab-
lish a nurse clinician service as an important part of a coordinated plan
to provide adequate health care, and urge the board to insure implemen-
tation of this program, 4) Emergency Health Services—As an integral part
of our health service plan they recommend that the county and other
municipalities support the implementation of a communications network
connecting the hospital and emergency personnel. The Health Committee
will be making their recommendation later. The King and King hospital
planning consultants will present their report January 29 at 8:00 p.m. a*

Various committee chairmen reported as follows:
Mr. Lee, Budget and Administration, reported the committee met with
the Social Planning Committee to review some of the projected financial
problems some, of these organizations are likely to face. He said it is
difficult to analyze precisely what is going to happen with state and
federal funding. The Committee suggested to the Social Planning Com-
mittee that they could be taking a look at existing programs and address
January 22, 1973 17
themselves to the question that if they are cut back, what would be the
corporation of programs they wish to operate. The committee has a
policy question which involves what procedures to follow when various
areas in this county building need modification or the maintenance of
areas for repair and what budget to charge it to — the department in-
volved or the building and grounds budget. There will be a report later
on that. The committee has been using a graduate student in public ad-
ministration which has worked out very well. They asked the Business
Administration School if there would be other students available and
received an affirmative response. They plan to receive teams of two or
three individuals to address themselves to very closely identified projects
that they would like to analyze. However, they do not plan to use the
students for evaluation purposes. He said if any of the committees are
interested in utilizing these services to let John Murphy know.
Mr. Bruce, Planning and Public Works, said the committee met and
they will be meeting on the first and third Tuesdays of each month at
12:00 noon. They are studying the space needs for the Sheriff's Depart-
ment. They are interviewing engineers for the Flood Plain Study. Also,
they will be meeting with representatives from .Allegany Airlines to have
a general look at the level of service it provides. There is progress in the
review of landfill contracts. In regard to the County Planning Board,
Miss Eleanor Bailey of Freeville was elected chairman replacing Mr.
VanHoutte. There will be a meeting on flood plain management and
insurance on February 22 at the New York State Electric & Gas Corp.
There will be an Executive Committee meeting February 5 at 7:30 p.m.
Mr. Leary, Public Safety and Correction, delegated his committee as
follows: Mr. Dates to be liaison between the District Attorney, Judges and
Surrogate Court; Mr. Webster — Probation Department; Mr. Tolles —
Police Task Force and Sealer of Weights and Measures; Mr. Miller —
SPCA and Fire and Disaster Coordinator; Mr. Leary — Sheriff's Depart-
ment, County Clerk and other smaller departments. The committee will
meet tonight with the SPCA.
Mr. Tolles said he called Mr. McClosky, former Deputy Director of the
Division of Police, Dept. of Local Government in Albany, to find out
why there has been the long delay in their study of the feasibility of con-
solidating local police agencies in the county. There has been a reorgani-
zation and he has become director of the Division of Criminal Justice.
He is still concerned with the report and he now has the personnel
and will be in operation this spring.
Mr. Kerr told the board a mailing list is being prepared to contact
people in various organizations relative to information on health fa-
cilities. Also, a memo is being sent inviting people to attend the King
and King presentation on January 29.
18 January 22, 1973
Mr. MacNeil, Social Services, thanked everyone who helped his new
committee get started. There will be a resolution later in the meeting
relative to authorization to execute a lease — Social Services Department.
Also, they had a final interview for the positions at the County Home.
They have a tentative agreement for reimbursement on positions at the
Social Services Department. A contract has been negotitated for a De-
tention Home in Etna with Dr. Benson.
Mrs. Schickel said the construction of TC3 is progressing. There was a
construction meeting last week with various people from the county staff
and the state relative to the entrance to the college. The State Engineer.
assured that appropriate signs of warning would be put up and they will
investigate possible lighting so it will be ready for the opening.
Mr. Golder, Intergovernmental Relations, said the committee met and
there will be resolutions for the audit of TC3 capital expenditures and
to change meeting days that fall on Holidays to the next day. The largest
item discussed was the proposed agreement with the Dormitory Authority.
Mr. Lee reported pertinent to the Award of Bid for the 1973 Proceed-
ings of the Board which was tabled at the December 18 meeting. A study
was made and it is their recommendation, since the price range was so
extensive, that it would appear logical to accept the bid' for the 1973
Proceedings. It was found to be impractical to have a book printed in-
house. However, they will continue to study this matter. The Clerk an-
nounced that copies of the minutes of meetings will be on each desk. He
also spoke of the possibility of giving some of the more important tape
recordings of board proceedings to an oral history project.

tions and suggestions by that date. Harry Kerr and volunteers are work-
ing on public information. A tentative schedule is April 15-30 to inform

ning Council. The meetings would be conducted by the various Super-
visors and/or Mayors and the council will provide summaries to this

tory Authority situation and there will be a resolution today for revenue
anticipation notes in the event the federal aid for the construction and
equipment of a building for the Tompkins -Cortland Community College
doesn't arrive on time. They discussed the question of whether the county
should spend money to, secure a bond rating evaluation. The bidding of
county cars will be coming up soon. The committee is suggesting the
formation of an insurance advisory committee on an ad hoc basis of
some of the local agents to continue to help them to monitor the sizable
portfolio they are managing. Relative to hospital financing, it is the
February 26, 1973 47
opinion of the committee that they should probably be involved in a
market study which would justify whether there is a demand for a 300,
400, or 500 bed hospital and ascertain whether or not there is sufficient
cash flow, etc. They are working with the hospital board to work out a
satisfactory solution.
Mr. Marcham, Health, reported there have been several meetings.

ready to present at the next board meeting.
Mr. Kerr, Planning and Public Works, said at their February 13 meet-
ing, several items in relation to costs at the airport were discussed. The
original estimate of local costs for the instrument landing system was to
be $10,000—$15,000 to be split between the county and WHCU. Since
then, Appalachia Funds have been cut. Therefore, the estimated local
cost will be approximately $42,000 to be shared so the county's cost would
be approximately $20,000. Also at that meeting the leasing of Boardman
House was discussed and is coming along. They have received three ap-
plications
p.plications for the position of "Keeper of the Covered Bridge" in New-
field. There will be a recommendation to the board soon. He said there
was a question and answer column in the Ithaca Journal which is the
first part of an informational program that a sub -committee is develop-
ing to continue throughout the year on the proposed hospital building
program.

the Chief of Police of Cayuga Heights, the Sheriff, and Frank Liguori,

ing. The next meeting will be March 6.
Mr. MacNeil, Social Services, said there hasn't been a committee meet-
ing but the Advisory Board of Social Services has met and elected a tem-
porary chairman. He said the annual report of the Social Services De-
partment is on the desks. He said he spent an interesting afternoon at
the Storefront talking with advisors. There was a meeting of the Greater _
Ithaca Activities Center and there was discussion that the Social Services
function might be a part of the center on a recreational basis. He doesn't
have all the facts but from the Social Services point of view there isn't
money available.

Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Marcham said there was discussion of
expanding the duties of the Commissioner of Budget and Administra-
tion Position and in talking about the duties of the job, were not
specifically talking about an individual.
Representative Culligan spoke about the accident on South Aurora
Street which resulted in the death of Mrs. Judy Kelemen. The accident
was caused by an intoxicated driver. He is concerned about the drunken
driver situation and would like to see these people get the punishment
they deserve.
Various committee chairmen reported as follows:
Mr. Lee, Budget and Administration, discussed financial feasibility
study pertinent to the proposed modifications of hospital structure. This
was a joint meeting between the Budget and Administration and Health
Committees and Eugene Arnold, Hospital Administrator, was asked to
go back to the Board of Managers to make certain that the level of
services being proposed is the correct level of services and report back
before the next board meeting to make a recommendation as to what
alternative to pursue in contracting with Price Waterhouse, Ernst &
Ernst or other appropriate firms to do financial feasibility studies for
this significant project.
Mr. Golder, Intergovernmental Relations, said they met and will be
meeting again on the 19th with Human Rights and Economic Oppor-
tunity Corporation. On the 28th they will meet with TC3 Trustees
receiving their thoughts on requested input from our board to the Joint
Legislative Committee studying community college arrangements. They
want to leave the resolution relative to the water contract for the Village
of Dryden on the table. Also he withdrew the resolution on the TC3
audit until the committee reviews it. They also discussed some library
problems.
Mr. Lee said the Budget & Administration Committee has opened com-
munications with some organizations which may be suffering because
of the potential cutback in federal and state revenues. Senator Smith
joined them in a meeting in an attempt to give people participating in
the human services area a report on what the prognosis is for funding
from the state and what impact of federal cutbacks would be. They are
continuing to communicate and keep watch of the needs of these groups
and they are going to have to have a hard look at the priority issue
particularly in the next fiscal year as to what priorities will receive top
preference in the funding for revenue sharing dollars.
Mr. Bruce, Planning and Public Works, said there will be a resolution
in respect to Agricultural District No. 3 in Groton later in the meeting.
He said they are ready to recommend an engineer on the Flood Plain
Study. There will be a resolution at the next meeting. They are also ready
to recommend selection of an architect for the renovation of the old
56 March 12, 1973
court house. The committee is looking into this and will be making
recommendations. There was discussion on general space allocations in
the courthouse area. They are also looking into the possibilities of em-
ploying an architect to design minor reconstruction of the old T.V.
building, if there was continued use. They will be reporting out recom-
mendations in respect to the Industrial Park Site. They are squared up
with Cornell University in respect to the local share on the moving of
the WHCU Tower and the installation of the Instrument Landing Sys-
tem at the airport. They will be having a resolution in respect to the
Southern Tier East Planning and Development Board. They also dealt
with the questions of the continued use of the Caswell Road Sanitary
Landfill site and the future for that site. He said there will be a tour of
the Tioga County Museum in Owego this afternoon. They are looking
at the question of long-term sites for the museum and are looking at
some of the possibilities.
Mr. Leary, Public Safety and Correction, said Mr. Webster was asked
to study the complaints about the jail and the Criminal Justice System
in Tompkins County. He asked Mr. Webster to present his report to the
full board.
Mr. Webster read the report which stated that he found all complaints
regarding inhumane treatment in the Tompkins County Jail to be with-
out substance. It is his hope that those who have had a part in making
these complaints will draw satisfaction from this report and not continue
their assault upon Sheriff Howard. In regard to any specific complaint,
any relative, friend or interested citizen may approach any member of
this board and get immediate answers to any legitimate concern. In
addition to being able to talk with members of this board, the sheriff
has in the past taken citizens through and will continue to allow any
legitimately concerned citizen to visit the jail within reason. Friends,
relatives, and persons concerned must also be aware of the fact that at
the present, the Tompkins County Jail has a program for inmates which
exceeds any in this area of New York State and may indeed exceed any
for the whole of New York State. Friends, relatives, concerned citizens
and the press should be aware of the existence of the Jail Program Action
Committee, which has in addition to the outsiders on the committee, two
inmate members. Over the past two years, this committee working with
Sheriff Howard has installed a library program, exercise program, recre-
ation room, BOCES training program, religious groups, drug therapy
groups, etc.
Section B of the report is in regard to the dissatisfaction expressed by
the Tompkins County Bail Fund with the Criminal Justice System as it
functions in Tompkins County. Mr. Webster, at the request of the Public
Safety Committee, met with representatives of the bail fund in response
to their letter of January 13, 1973 to Board Chairman James Graves. On
February 6, 1973, he and Representative Miller met with them. From
February of 1971 to the present the Bail Fund has provided $9500.00 in
March 12, 1973 57
bail for about 70 persons. This has been the principal activity to the
present. Conditions in the Jail are not the principal concern of the bail
fund representatives. The main concern of the Tompkins Bail Fund is in
regard to what they feel is excessive bail. They also are concerned about
our present system of appointing attorneys to indigent defendants. The
Bail Fund's feeling is that the Board of Representatives should call a pub-
lic meeting to discuss this issue. It is the recommendation of Mr. Webster
that the Bail Fund representatives meet with the full Public Safety Com-
mittee for consideration of this request.
Mr.. Leary also reported that he received a letter from the Sealer of
Weights and Measures stating he will be retiring in October of this year.
He also said there will be a report of the Police Task Force at the next
meeting. At their meeting Mr. Webster outlined a means of opening a
halfway house here. He, said chances are good for a state grant which
would fund the first 18 months of a halfway house. He also proposed
creating the position of a para -professional, an employee of the Probation
Department, who would work with defendants released "on supervision"
by local courts. There will be a report to the full board at the next meet-
ing. Mr. Leary stated that the SPCA will make a report on their budget
next Thursday at 4:00 p.m. They are being paid at the 1972 contract
price for January and February and if there are any changes in the new
contract, they will be reimbursed. The committee also discussed a pro-
posed resolution which opposed any operation or curtailment of powers
of local courts under the proposed statewide court reform. The committee
agreed to withhold recommendation of board action until this matter can
be considered further. The airport in doing well as far as security is
concerned. There will be a recommendation for a truck for the Fire and
Disaster Coordinator. He said a letter was received from Judge Dean
relative to having someone police the corridors because of the noise and
mischief of children playing in the Court House. This was discussed be-
fore, and at that time it was decided it was not necessary. However, the
committee will discuss it again.
Mr. Marcham, Health, reported that by extending the decision making
time on feasibility study and a study that would maybe doublecheck data
on which the projections are being based on the hospital, they are mov-
ing the timetable for decision making further through the year. They
were originally talking about April 16 as the date the hospital Board of
Managers would make a recommendation. He said they took up a num-
ber of items of business which will come in the form of resolutions later
in the meeting. He mentioned statements that Mr. Tolles presented and
also a set of questions that he posed to the Board of Managers. The com-
mittee has a request from a real estate organization to indicate whether
we were interested in selling the hospital. It was discussed and decided
that it was not serious enough communication to reply to as it was only a
form letter. It was referred to the Budget 8e Administration Committee.
If another company is as serious as Extendicare Inc., they will extend
them every possible courtesy and interest. The status of Extendicare Inc.
58 March 12, 1973
— The committee told them if they were interested and wanted to be con-
sidered to make a bid or offer. They face a problem because of the laws
of N. Y. State and have to find out if they can operate here. Once this is
done, if the answer is yes, they will send in an engineering team to survey
the hospital and probably invite representatives of the medical profes-
sion, hospital Board of Managers and the Board of Representatives to
visit one of, their operations. On another item, the committee approved a
position of gift buyer at the hospital which does not involve any new - - e
money. They reviewed the stance of the committee of those agencies
that are affected by the federal revenue sharing money changes and also
by the state funding changes and concur with Executive Committee ac-
tion at asking John Murphy to be the appropriate person to hear what
the communities and agencies have to say before a decision is made. He
reported on a policy decision they made regarding a convention out of
the country. The Rules of the Board state the Chairman shall approve
trips or conventions. It is their decision travel fare would be paid only in
the continental limits of the U.S. The next meeting is set for March 21
at 7:30 p.m., subject to change. Also, will have an amendment to the
physicians' Service Contract in the form of a resolution.
Mr. MacNeil, Social Services, work for selection of a new Commissioner
of Social Services is underway. Preliminary interviews are being held. He
also said the Social Services balances were in for the month of February.
Mrs. Schickel said as of March 1, the actual percentage of completion
was behind schedule. The progress schedule is being revised and will be
updated. Also, Caudill, Rowlett and Scott, Architects, will bring in their
recommendations for the interior furnishings, etc. at the end of March.
Mr. Dates reported that the Industrial Development Agency met and
has taken an active part of the Tompkins County Area Development in
developing an industrial park in the vicinity of the airport. Also, the
Sewer Agency will meet at 4:00 p.m. Thursday.

tions not on the agenda pertaining to Amending Physicians' Contract at

Mr. Bruce offered the following resolution and moved its adoption:
WHEREAS, the multiplicity of planning regions, areas and districts
within the eight -county Southern Tier East Regional Planning & Development

to confuse and confound the various local and regional planning agencies
located within the Southern Tier East LDD in terms of jurisdictional re-
lationships for functional planning purposes, and

supports, a study to analyze and determine the various possibilities for
municipal interaction within its eight -county region, and the nature and
effective level of such interaction in an effort to improve the effectiveness
of functional planning within the region at the county and regional level,
and to provide a new perspective for regional planning programs, Federal
review procedures, and certification policies, and
WHEREAS, the County of Tompkins supports and has a direct interest
in a study being undertaken that will develop a rationale for a jurisdictional
framework for comprehensive planning in the eight -county Southern Tier
East LDD region that will define the opportunities and limitations for inter -
county relationships in the functional planning process ranging from those
activities which can best, and should, be carried out on a region -wide scale
to those which can most effectively and usefully be undertaken by the indi-
vidual counties and
WHEREAS, the County of Tompkins, by resolution of this board is a par-
ticipating county in the Southern Tier East Regional Planning & Development
Board, and
WHEREAS, the County of Tompkins, together with the other participating
counties in the Southern Tier East Regional Planning & Development Board
desires to make application for and participate in the aforementioned
Federal -State Comprehensive Planning and Management Assistance Program,
and
WHEREAS, the New York State Office of Planning Services, under author-
ity of Article 26 of the New York State Executive Law, is the official state
planning agency designated to administer Federal and State funds under the

RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Health. Committee and the Mental
Health Board, That the following budget on file with the Clerk of the
Board be approved for the contract between the County of Tompkins Mental
Health Department and Challenge Industries,

RESOLVED, further, That the Clerk of the Board forward certified copies
of this resolution to Challenge Industries, the Mental Health Board and to

Seconded by Mr. Marcham. Mrs. Schickel read a statement on behalf of
the people of Dryden wholeheartedly supporting Challenge Industries in
their work of assisting handicapped citizens and urged the board, after
approving the work of Challenge, to grant the necessary assistance to the
other group of proven worth — the Association of Retarded Children.
Mr. Graves said he is very disturbed because Tompkins County is re-
sponsible for its own clients and clients are being brought in from other
counties.
Mr. Tolles questioned if the $52,000 originally appropriated for both
agencies was to be all used for Challenge. Mr. Golder said the $52,000
amount came during preparation of ballpark estimates for the 1973
budget. They were working with figures supplied by both agencies on
the basis of a combined program. Because of one large item, a peculiarity
of a certain kind of state aid, ARC had income which is not available in
this budget which made a substantial difference to that combined pro-
gram. There has been an attempt to put a flexibility in the budget so
the personnel available at Challenge could handle additional clients
should ARC go out of business. A roll call vote resulted as follows: Rep-
resentatives Webster, Abbott, Bruce, Culligan, Dates, Golder, Holden,
Leary, Lee (look forward to the rebate at the end of the year if ARC
does not join Challenge) , MacNeil, Marcham, Schickel, Tolles - 13.

Under privilege of the floor Mr. Marcham said there will be a meeting
relative to the Bell Station proposal soon. He questioned what the board's
involvement should be relative to the Bell Station proposal. This matter
will be discussed at the Executive Meeting. He also mentioned that he
receives memos from the federal government asking the board to react
in 10 days and sign in or out of whole programs. It will be difficult for
the county to respond by the deadline time. It was suggested a letter be
written to them indicating the matter is under consideration and will be
hearing from the board soon.
Various committees reported as follows:
Mr. Tolles reported that a reorganization of the Human Rights Com-
mission and the Economic Opportunity Corporation is being considered.
He has prepared a plan which has been discussed by committee and there
are copies available. The next meeting will be March 28 at 7:30 p.m.
There will also be a special meeting with the Planning and Public
Works Committee on April 2 at 12:00 noon to meet with the Historical
Society. He will be making nominations for appointments to the Human
Rights Commission and Economic Opportunity Corporation later in the

Mr. Lee, Budget & Administration, said they have received items of
interest from the Assessment Department and reported the revaluation
continues. The villages are done and the City of Ithaca has been com-
pleted. He said out of 4500 parcels in the city, it was necessary to ad-
just 2400 pieces of property. He also said there were 200 parcels of prop-
March 26, 1973 67
erty affected by the flood which will be eligible for tax abatement for
flood damage. He reported they had a request from New York State Elec-
tric & Gas Corp. pertinent to a request for tax exemption under the prop-
erty law which allows corporations and other entities who develop anti-
pollution devices, to apply for tax exemption. If the county were to
grant this, a local law would have to be passed by Tompkins County as
well as the municipalities affected. In response to the request, he is call-
ing a meeting of the Supervisors of the Towns of Lansing, Groton and
Dryden and the Budget & Administration Committee to meet with the
appropriate officials to discuss the matter further.
He also reported on the problem of personnel being appointed to posi-
tions where they are not qualified for federal and state reimbursement
and committee agreed with the Personnel Committee that no further
appointments will be made unless they meet approval for reimburse-
ment for state and federal funds.
Mr. Leary, Social Services, introduced Mr. and Mrs. Edward Conklin,
the new Superintendent and Matron of the County Home & Farm who
are replacing Mr. and Mrs. John Paul Jones who are retiring. He re-
ported the Public Safety and Correction Committee met with the SPCA
and discussed the budget. They will be given a 7% increase. They are
going to stagger their shifts so there will be better coverage weekends and
nights. He said there was considerable discussion relative to the proposed
assistant probation officer. Relative to the resolution for support of the
justice of the peace, after much discussion the committee felt it has no
voice in this matter.
Mr. Webster explained the duties of the proposed assistant probation
Officer position and was referred to the Personnel Commissioner for re-
view. The committee met with the Tompkins County Bail Fund and dis-
cussed their request for a public meeting regarding the criminal justice
system in Tompkins County and it was decided it wouldn't be proper or
legal for this board to conduct such a meeting. Members of the Bail
Fund had a number of positive questions which relate to the future of the
area of the criminal justice system as far as the county is concerned and
a number of questions relative to planning.
He hopes perhaps in the future they may come up with a format for
considering the whole area of planning as far as the criminal justice
system is concerned.
Mrs. Schickel reported that work is progressing on the construction of
the Community College in spite of weather conditions.
Mr. Bruce, Planning and Public Works, said they met on March 20
and approved a contract with Allegany Airlines providing security space
at the airport. They have been concerned with the status of the Heights
68 March 26, 1973
Restaurant and are exploring the possibility of other concessionnaires.
They are advertising for radio equipment to go with the new tower. He
also reported that the refuse disposal contracts are reaching termination
so they are advertising for bids for the areas served by the Seymour and
Landstrom sites. They also have under discussion courses of action with
respect to the Caswell Road site. This site is being used up at a faster
rate than originally anticipated and they are looking at alternatives
which might extend the life of the site. He said the Historical Society
will be meeting with the Intergovernmental Relations and Planning and
Public Works Committees April 2. They are ready to make recommenda-
tion to the board in respect to the location. They will be displaced from
the old courthouse when work begins.. They have been looking into
other alternatives. The committee has been negotiating with an architect
to work on the restoration of the old courthouse. They asked the County
Planning Board to advise them in respect to two items 1) the housing
needs associated with the new industry near the airport and 2) the trans-
portation priorities. He feels the Planning Board is a very useful re-
source. The Planning Board has appointed a committee to look into a
form of organization, etc. and will be bringing a report back to this
board.
Mr. Abbott, Personnel, read a letter regarding non-reimbursible em-
ployees. The Budget and Administration Committee will be presenting a
resolution on this matter later in the meeting.
Mr. Marcham, Health, reported that the Health Committee met with
the Budget & Administration committee to discuss the proposed hospital
facility study. The hospital board indicated they preferred that only
one study be conducted. There is a resolution on the agenda which they
will table regarding the hospital feasibility study. There will be a
vacancy on the Board of Managers July 1. He noted the committee has
been represented by the Commissioner of Budget and Administration in
discussion about the creation of a county office for the aging. He also re-
ported that there was a public meeting last Wednesday to hear the
Extendicare Inc. proposal. He said if the recommendation on hospital
facilities is not made by June, it would probably be best to postpone the
final decision until September because of the uncertainty of arranging
meetings during the summer. There will be a meeting March 27 to dis-
cuss some personnel matters and the hospital. He also said they are con-
cerned that an important decision for the county is going to be in-
fluenced at a public meeting April 10 to discuss Bell Station proposal.
He also said he is receiving a lot of communications concerning hospital
construction re consideration of availability of fire protection as well as
other kinds of emergency protection.
It was moved by Mr. Holden, seconded by Mr. Marcham, that resolu-
tions pertaining to Selection of an engineer for Flood Plain Study; State-
ment of Policy on Transportation needs be added to the agenda, and the
resolution regarding water contract for the community college be with-
drawn from the agenda. Carried.

RESOLUTION NO. 75 — Statement of Policy on Transportation Needs
Mr. Bruce offered the following resolution and moved its adoption:
WHEREAS, improvements in the transportation systems of the County
including the City of Ithaca are extremely important to the welfare of the
people of this County, and
WHEREAS, the Route 13-96 corridors through the City of Ithaca are a key
factor in the planning and development of these needed improvements, and
70 March 26, 1973
WHEREAS, it is clear that special advocacy groups interested in a par-
ticular element of the environment, the economy or the society have fre-
quently promoted their particular interests to the exclusion of the broader
interests of the people as a whole, and
WHEREAS, the Ithaca Landmarks Commission has introduced a serious
and potential legal obstacle to the proposed highway corridors by designating
a building as an historic landmark, subject to the approval of Common
Council, and
WHEREAS, this Board is understanding of the high ideal to preserve
the important historical buildings and landmarks, but recognizes in this
instance that the proposal by the Landmarks Commission could have serious
legal implications in the continued efforts for improvement of the said high-
ways, and
WHEREAS, the Common Council in its resolution of February 7, 1973, has
expressed dissatisfaction with the highway facilities in the vicinity of the
inlet and indicated a need for a second bridge in that area, now therefore be
it
RESOLVED, That this Board hereby declares for the record that needed
highway improvements in Tompkins County are a prime priority which must
be accomplished without unnecessary delays and, if possible, in harmony with
other lesser priorities, but if conflicts with lesser priorities are unresolvable
within reason, the highway improvements must supersede lesser priorities,
and be it further
RESOLVED, That this Board urges the Common Council of the City of
Ithaca to consider very carefully the impact of designating buildings or land-
marks in the path of the very limited corridor access possibilities in the
vicinity of the junction points between the "Octopus" and the proposed Route
96 and the Route 13 improvements, particularly at this late stage in corridor
planning, lest they by their actions seriously set back or jeopardize the
needed highway improvements, and be it further.
RESOLVED, That copiesof this resolution be forwarded to the Com-
mon Council of the City of Ithaca, the Ithaca Landmarks Commission, the
New York State Department of Transportation, the Commissioner of Public
Works, and Commissioner of Planning.

Various committee chairmen reported as follows:
Mr. Lee, Budget and Administration, reported that they will have a
resolution today for purchasing automobiles for the Health Department.
They are not recommending new vehicles for the Social Services Depart-
ment because of the low mileage and low maintenance on the present
cars. A resolution awarding bids for the Fire Coordinator's vehicle is on

appointing individuals to jobs before they are qualified for state or

April 16, 1973 75
Mr. Golder, Intergovernmental Relations, reported they met with
Ronald Space, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Community
College and President Hushang Bahar and discussed in general the
college progress to date. They also met with representatives of the Tomp-
kins County Fair Board. They have a request for assistance in developing

mittee also met on April 2 with the Planning and Public Works Com-
mittee to discuss space needs for both the DeWitt Historical Society
and the Economic Opportunity Corporation.
Mr. Bruce, Planning and Public Works, met with the Intergovern-
mental Relations Committee to discuss space needs for the DeWitt His-
torical Society and the Economic Opportunity Corporation. The com-
mittee considered thematter of the architects for the restoration of the
old courthouse and for changes necessary to Building C. The county
continues to have under examination, the problems of disposal of the
Heights Restaurant at the airport. They considered the matter of an
access road to the Industrial Park. They asked the planning board to
look into some matters triggered by the presence of the Industrial Park
such as the impact on housing, traffic patterns, etc.
Mr. Holden reported that bids were opened last week for bituminous
material, stone and tires, oil and center striping, for the Highway De-
partment.
Mr. Graves mentioned the proposed Local Law No. 3 — 1973 pro-
. viding for the disposing of abandoned vehicles within the County of
Tompkins had only two changes. In Section 2, the Sheriff's Dept. was
authorized to tow away the abandoned cars instead of the Public Works
Dept. Also, storage charges should be taken into affect as well as towing
and cost of sale. The Local Law was Laid on the Table until the next
meeting.
Mr. Marcham, Health, reported the committee met March 27 to try
to decide who would be handling questions in the health area, particular-
ly the whole range of hospital related questions and tried to break them
down and make decisions. They decided they were not interested in
inviting any other proprietary firms. There are a number of other
firms,. but Extendicare Inca is one of the largest. They feel if these firms
were interested in making a proposal, they would. The question was
raised of dropping the consideration of proprietary hospitals but this
will be referred to the Executive Committee. However, the committee
decided to continue to consider the Extendicare proposal. Some of the
other choices are a public authority and a private voluntary hospital.
He also said John Murphy, Commissioner of Budget and Administra-
tion, will explore the matter of evaluating Extendicare in terms of fiscal
responsibility and report back by the next meeting. Another question
considered is what services the hospital would provide. He said next
76 April 16, 1973
Wednesday and Thursday, there will be a trip to Louisville, Kentucky
to Extendicare Inc. Harry Kerr, Gary Lee, Eugene Arnold, two members
of the Board of Managers, two members of the medical profession and
Ruth DeWire of the Comprehensive Health Planning Council will be

It appeared for a long time that there was little chance of federal
funding and for that reason asked the Health Planning Council to re-
port on what is wanted in primary care. It now appears the funding
picture is brighter. Some decisions will have to be made soon. Pentab
organization asked to appear before the Health Committee as they are
proposing a clinic and health spa in Dryden. Another area being con-
sidered is the establishment of a county health planning council. He also
mentioned that they will be acting on the feasibility study at the
hospital at their next committee meeting. Another matter which they
are going to refer to the Executive Committee is the question of whether
the county is going to intersect in some way in the decision making on
Bell Station. There will be a committee meeting on April 24 at 8:00
p.m. and May 9 at 8:00 p.m.

The Clerk read the notice of public hearing for the modified Agri-
cultural District No. 2 in the Town of Ulysses. Carter Rice, James Rice,
John Rice and Mrs. James Terry spoke asking that their land be included
in this district. There was concern about the possible limitations for the
use of the land. Mr. Kerr said it puts no limitation on the land or what
one might want to do with it. He said the agricultural district is for
the protection of active agriculture land. Arthur Fellows was concerned
that this matter would be delayed again. It was suggested that the board
approve a modified district and take the changes into account and send
it to Albany for review.
The hearing was closed at 10:28 a.m. and regular board business
convened.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Lee spoke about the new sign at the
landfill site at West Dryden which prohibits people from picking things
up from that site. He has received many phone calls pertinent to this
matter. Mr. Stevenson said it was in the original proposal that there
would be no picking allowed.
Various committee chairmen reported as follows:
Mr. Lee, Budget & Administration, said a very important meeting was
held at the hospital with the Board of Managers, Ernst & Ernst, the
Administrator, Chairman of the Board, Touchette Corporation and the
Budget and Administration and Health Committees. They feel they
have reached a satisfactory solution pertinent to the management prob-
lem they have been experiencing recently. He said there is a resolution
on the agenda for "unfreezing" the position of controller at the hospital.
He reported that the committee met this morning with representation
from the Groton Community Services and this is another of our human
affairs type programs in the county that is experiencing financial diffi-
culties. They are unsure of a solution at this point. They continue to
keep communication open to all of these groups. They continue to main-
tain the position that all revenue sharing money will be held in escrow
for the time being. He said a copy has been received of the Sales Tax
Bill pertinent to the resolution passed at the last meeting on the distri-
bution of sales tax to villages on the basis of population the same as
towns. Also, he sent a letter to Senator Smith and Assemblywoman Cook
pertinent to a resolution adopted at the last meeting advocating con-
sistency in the Real Property Tax Law for capital investments for pollu-
tion control. Also, he reported on a possible feasibility study of pro-
jected needs for the hospital by Tribrook Associates. The committee
advocated this from the start. There will be a resolution on this later
in the meeting.
Mr. Lee, Chairman of the Budget and Administration Committee, sub-
mitted the following report relative to mortgage tax monies received
April 30, 1973 97
and the allocation thereof for the period of October 1, 1972 through
March 31, 1973:
Caroline $ 3,032.65
Danby 2,601.17
Dryden 13,341.27
Enfield 1,240.25
Groton 4,315.09
Ithaca — City 22,753.19
Ithaca — Town 37,850.70
Lansing 15,971.49
Newfield 3,137.84
Ulysses 4,412.86
$108,656.51
Your committee finds that of the amount of $13,341.27 to which the
Town of Dryden is entitled there should be paid to the incorporated
Village of Dryden the sum of $881.84, and to the incorporated Village
of Freeville the sum of $229.93; of the amount of $4,315.09 to which
the Town of Groton is entitled there should be paid to the incorporated
Village of Groton the sum of $958.32; of the amount of $37,850.70 to
which the Town of Ithaca is entitled there should be paid to the in-
corporated Village of Cayuga Heights the sum of $6,434.42; and of the
amount of $4,412.86 to which the Town of Ulysses is entitled there should
be paid to the incorporated Village of Trumansburg the sum of $680.45.
Your committee therefore recommends the adoption of a resolution to
be presented later in the meeting.

At this time Frank Liguori, Commissioner of Planning, presented two
alternative proposals for the use of space in the old courthouse and com-
plex. The Planning Committee over a period of several years has dis-
cussed various proposals on how to best use the space in the buildings
in the courthouse complex. Now that a grant has been made by the
Dept. of HUD to restore the old courthouse for contemporary use, the
opportunity is here to finalize the concept for the use of all the build-
ings. They are in final negotiations for the architects selected at the last
meeting. In those agreements there will be a clause saying the architects
will not proceed from one phase to another except by written permission
of the Planning Committee. Proposal "A" is for the Board of Repre-
sentatives to consider the possibility of moving from their present
facilities to the second floor of the old courthouse to include the offices
98 April 30, 1973
of the Clerk and the vacated board space would then become another
courtroom to be patterned similar to the existing courtroom. The Bud-
get & Administration Offices would move to the first floor of the old
courthouse and the District Attorney would utilize the vacated space of
the Budget Office. Judge Simpson's office will be vacated because of
his retirement and it is not clear under this plan how these rooms would
be used at this point. The DeWitt Historical Society and Economic Op-
portunity Corporation will move from the old courthouse and seek other
quarters. Some of the Sheriff's offices would be located on the first floor
of the old courthouse and the basement area would be used for security.
Under this plan they have no clearly defined use for the Boardman
House. Building C would be improved and function as it is now.
Alternate "B" would consider moving the offices of Judge Bryant to
the first floor of the old courthouse and there would be another court-
room on the second floor. The space vacated by Judge Bryant in the
present courthouse would be used for the Budget & Administration
Offices. It would make it possible for the District Attorney to use the
space presently used by Budget & Administration. Some of the Sheriff's
Offices and possibly other departments could be located on the first
floor. The Board will need to decide on which concept they wish to use.
Discussion followed and Mrs. Wolverton, County Clerk, spoke objecting
to splitting the courts in separate buildings which Alternative B calls for.
The Chairman referred these alternatives to the Planning and Public
Works Committee.
Mr. Golder, Intergovernmental Relations, said Mr. Stevenson has re-
ceived formal estimates from Personius and Wadsworth in regard to the
library problems of air-conditioning and lighting. He will be submitting
copies to the library. He also said there is no provision in Frank Liguori's
report for space for the Economic Opportunity Corporation and the
Historical Society. FOC is negotiating with the Ithaca Activities Center
for space. He said they have been providing space at no cost to the
county except for maintenance. A request will be made for appropria-
tion for rent necessary for them to occupy space for one year. They have
no funds of their own for this purpose. The committee met with the
Planning Board in regard to the Historical Society. They are awaiting
determination on whether or not there is any possibility of their return-
ing to the old courthouse before they went to serious consideration of
their proposal to either buy the Tectonics building or rent in the Clinton
House. Another possibility comes up that the costs as submitted by the
Historical Society either for rental for the Clinton House or the purchase
of the Tectonics Building runs around $20,000 per year. It has been
expressed by some that it might go a long way toward renovating Board-
man House if the Historical Society were to occupy it.
Mr. Bruce, Planning and Public Works, met April 7 and the next
meeting will be May 7 at noon. As is evident from Mr. Liguori's presen-
April 30, 1973
99
'ration, they are proceeding to identify alternatives in respect to the old
courthouse and Building C. At the next meeting there will be a resolu-
tion to accept an alternate. He also reported that the Hinkley Founda-
tion has withdrawn their offer to lease the Boardman House. The county
will now advertise for other possible sale or lease. He said the County
Planning Board will meet Wednesday evening to discuss adopting a
position in respect to Bell Station proposal. He said the Planning Board
is comprised of representatives of various interests and constituencies
throughout the county and they can communicate to this board, through
the Planning Board, the wishes of the various groups they represent. It
has had a committee studying its future organization as the board was
established temporarily. They will be ready shortly with their recom-
mendation.
Mr. Webster, Public Safety and Correction, met on April 25 and dis-
cussed space needs in the District Attorney's Office and the need for the
ladies lounge to be locked on days when Grand Jury meets. Howard
Stevenson, Commissioner of Public Works, is to search for a new area
for the ladies lounge, required by law. In the meantime, this area is not
to be used during Grand Jury meetings. They also reviewed the grant
application which was approved and submitted to the New York State
Division of Criminal Justice. A resolution will be presented at the next
meeting of the Board for approval of concept. Each board member will
have a copy of the application. He also reported on their continuing
consideration of appointment of a Criminal Justice Advisory Planning
Committee. A resolution will be presented at the next meeting for
approval. They have identified problem areas that they would like this
group to be looking at: 1) System of defending indigent defendants,
2) concern about courtroom space needs, 3) court needs and the re-
curring request from one of the judges for a court attendant, 1) a recur-
ring problem which has been suggested by the District Attorney as being
crucial in terms of the operation of the criminal justice system, is the
time from arrest to the time of ultimate disposition as this time seems
to be lengthening and presenting an increasing problem. They are also
faced with jail space needs. Mr. Culligan asked if this committee could
include in their studies a training program for personnel to operate the
Portapower Unit at the Sheriff's Department.
Mr. Culligan, Health, said they met with Eugene Arnold, Hospital
Administrator; Col. Comstock, Chairman of the Hospital Board of
Managers; Dr. Uris and the press, to discuss Extendicare, Inc. No direct
report was given at that time but Mr. Lee and Mr. Kerr gave a few.
comments and referred further information until April 30 at 7:30 p.m.
at the hospital. The committee is in favor of a hospital feasibility study
with Tribrook Associates; summer jobs which are already budgeted are
approved; hospital gift buyer which this board made a full time position
will be moved back to part time; there will be a resolution regarding
Volunteer Services Supervisor later in the meeting; medical scholarships
100 April 30, 1973
— Mr. Lee is again requesting that the resolution that was tabled last
year be reconsidered. Also, a "Citizens For Better Health Survey" is now
being conducted in the county and Mr. Lee questions whether this could
be coordinated with ALTHA. He said there was a meeting April 25
regarding data processing matters. Regarding the Hospital Site Study,
the County Planning Board has not yet made a recommendation. The
Health Planning Council will be discussed May 7th or later. More funds
are to be asked for Health Planning Staff. The Board of Health will
report to the County on or about May 8 regarding Bell Station. On
Primary Care, the Health Planning Council expects to have a draft
recommendation by May 15. Also, there will be a vacancy on the Board
of Managers. He told the board that Dr. Robert Broad, Commissioner
of Health, is retiring and interviews are being held. The County At-
torney said the Board of Health has the full power to appoint the Com-
missioner of Health. However, it is subject to confirmation by the Board
of Representatives.
Mrs. Schickel, Intergovernmental Relations, reported that the con-
struction of the Community College is progressing.
Chairman Graves cancelled the Executive Committee Meeting until
May 16 at 7:30 p.m.
Mr. MacNeil, Social Services, reported that the selection of the new
Commissioner of Social Services is progressing. He said the Department
is in the state of moving in a certain direction in the near future. On
January 1, 1974, the Federal Government is probably going to take over
aid to the Blind and .Disabled. This would mean they would go under
the auspices of Social Security. There is a possibility of the Medical
Assistance and Public Assistance being taken care of by the State. He re-
ported that the County Farm Superintendent, Mr. Conklin, is now in
charge and things seem to be progressing nicely. There is a resolution
to be presented today extending Resolution No. 98 relative to the reim-
bursement of employees.
It was Moved by Mr. Holden, seconded by Mr. Lee, That resolutions
not on the agenda concerning Addendum to Agreement between County
and Allegany Airlines; request for Assistance from Resource Develop-
ment Project in design and construction for auxiliary fire water supply
at the Industrial Development Site; Audit of Capital Construction —
TC3; Modification of proposed Agricultural District No. 2; Creation
of Two Typists and One Clerk at the Hospital; be considered at this
meeting. Carried.

Letters received from Constance Cook, Assemblywoman, and Senator

they will oppose such a bill that is detrimental to us. Mrs. Cook said
it is her understanding that the proposal is being completely revised.

Various committee chairmen reported as follows:
Mr. Lee, Budget and Administration Committee, reported that at
the board meeting on May 29, they will take up the Groff Associates
proposal pertinent to tax stabilization. He also said Thomas Payne,
Director of Assessment, has made a reported request by their commit-
tee of a three-year study pertinent to the tax exemptions being granted
in Tompkins County and also, a listing of the wholly tax exempt areas
as well as what percentage of taxable property is available in each
municipality. The total assessment roll has been growing about com-
parable in the last three years to properties that a portion which is
taxable for tax purposes, roughly 21/2 per cent per year and the total
assessment roll increase at about the same percentage as the taxable
portion of the assessment roll. Exemptions are granted in the following
categories: Exemptions on real property for the aged; veterans' exemp-
tions for property purchased, or improvement; clergymen, which is
mandatory; agricultural and horticultural lands; and the wholly exempt
property of which there are 16 major categories. It is interesting to note
that the City of Ithaca in the last three years was 61.5 per cent property
wholly exempt from taxation; Town of Ithaca 49.8 per cent. In 1970,
56 per cent of assessment roll was available for tax purposes, 42.8 being
wholly exempt; in 1971, still was showing 56 per cent taxable, 42 per
cent wholly exempt; 1972, 56.7 per cent and 42 per cent wholly exempt.
The community which shows the most positive growth for taxable is
the Town of Lansing. He said letters have been sent to our legislators
110 May 14, 1973
in Albany, pertinent to the request for exemption by N.Y.S.E. & G.
Corporation for precipitators at Milliken Station. Chairman Graves
wrote to the legislature pertinent to the way the court reform is being
proposed to be funded which would net about one half million dollar
loss to Tompkins. County. Regarding revenue sharing funds, he has been
receiving letters from groups requesting money. They have a competent
individual taking under considerationthe possibility of heading an
advisory group which is going to update the report made by the Planning
Commissioner, plus information from Mrs. Pettengil and her group, as
to what the agencies are in Tompkins County that are delivering human
services, who they are, what kind of people do they employ, salary paid,
etc. They feel there is too much duplication.
Mr. Golder, Intergovernmental Relations Committee, said the com-
mittee met May 8th and received a report on the Historical Society;
discussed request from the County Fair for funding and this will be
brought up again; discussed two positions at the community college;
EOC space situation; and scheduled a meeting for May 30 at 7:30 p.m.
Mrs. Sisler read a letter from Historic Ithaca urging the county to
seriously consider repairing the Boardman House and use it for its
own activities. They also requested permission to use volunteers to re -
stack the brick rubble from the chimney that was torn down recently.
This request was referred to. the Planning and Public Works Committee.
The Chairman adjourned the meeting at 10:30 a.m. to hold a public
hearing relating to proposed addition to the area leased by Allegany.
The Clerk read the notice and upon hearing no questions or objections,
the public hearing was closed at 10:35 a.m.
Mr. Bruce, Planning and Public Works, reported that the Environ-
mental Management Council and the County Planning Board met to
discuss problems associated with the Bell Station proposals. The Com-
mittee met May 7th and asked Mr. Liguori, Planning Commissioner,
to set up a meeting with representatives from the New York State
Department of Transportation, Town of Lansing and merchants, rela-
tive to the intersection area of Route 13 at Triphammer Road, to see
if they can resolve some of the problems. They also asked him to look
into the possibility of asking the present mechanical engineers, Personi-
ous and Wadsworth, to take on as part of their responsibility any archi-
tectural services necessary in establishing radio network in the Sheriffs
Department rather than going to separate arrangement with an architect.
They are going to recommend participation and application of this
county to serve as researchers for the Department of Transportation on
a study with respect to economic impact of the revision of Route 13.
They asked Mr. Liguori to look into the possibility that the county might
accelerate some of the development of Route 96 on the west end by
providing additional capital to get a bridge across the inlet.
'May 14, 1973 11.1
He also reported that according to the Counsel for the State Depart-
ment of Environmental Conservation, theaction the board took in
respect to the Agricultural District in the Town of Ulysses, was not
possible. There will be resolutions concerning this later in the meeting.
Other items discussed were the advertising of the Boardman House for
sale or lease now that the Hinkley Foundation has withdrawn their of-
fer. They are continuing to explore the option in respect to the use
of the second floor of the Old Court House and are looking into the
possibility of using it for court purposes.
Mr. Webster reported that the County Probation co -hosted with the
N.Y.S. Division of Probation a volunteer conference. Guest speaker
there is regarded as the originator of the volunteer court program in
the United States. The utilization of volunteers from Probation is an
eight -county pilot project and if successful will be used as a model for
further development throughout the state.
Mr. Marcham, Health Committee, said the idea of primary care
service in the county is moving forward. Mrs. Ruth DeWire and Miss
Bonnie Howard have drafted a plan of organizing this. They received
for consideration a proposal that the county double its contribution to
Health Planning and get more service. Primary Care is the idea of
providing clinics around the county. The Committee will have a recom-
mendation on the appointment of a new Health Commissioner later ih
the meeting. Also, they have been meeting with the hospital to discuss
the problem of their putting their billing on computers. It was agreed
that John Murphy will monitor progress between now and August 31.
He said they also discussed the increase of room rates at the hospital
and said they were not notified and expect to be advised in the future.
He said that an individual pays more for a room than one who has Blue
Cross Insurance. This matter is being investigated. He said that he will
be keeping a file on his desk of letters written to him concerning the
hospital after receiving their permission. He has received the report from
John Murphy on the financial state of Extendicare. The County has not
agreed yet on what they want in the way of a hospital as it is a compli-
cated question so they agreed to tell them what the hospital planning
committee generally agrees at this point. They received a County Plan-
ning Board recommendation on the site but took no action at this time.
He said the contract for employees appears to say no compensatory
time off can be given to supervisory employees. It also seems to imply
time off can be given at the discretion of the department head. It was
the decision of the committee that if one leaves the county or accumu-
lates these hours, one can not be paid. The Personnel Department is
drafting a statement to clarify this.
He gave the timetable regarding the hospital as follows: A visit from
Extendicare, Inc. in early June following which they will get their
112 May 14, 1973
proposal and the Board might be in a position to vote on the proposal
in July; the Board of Managers proposal will arrive in August, assuming
the representatives have not said yes to Extendicare; the hearings will
be arranged for September on the proposals and the Board of Repre-
sentatives will vote in October for the final solution.
Mr. Golder, Intergovernmental Relations, reported that negotiations
have continued between the Mental Health Department and the Associa-
tion of Retarded Children regarding a pending appeal for direct funding
from the State Hygiene Department. The Mental Health Board and the
Committee want to see some progress toward the combination of Chal-
lenge Industries and ARC before there is any reconsideration of a con-
tract.
Mrs. Schickel, Intergovernmental Relations, reported that the com-
munity college general construction is 50 per cent completed or stored
and is progressing well. Mr. Liguori said there was a meeting with the
Department of Transportation and an agreement was reached regarding
the entrance.
Mr. Leary, Public Safety and Correction, asked about the problem of
sewage disposal at the community college which is being held up and
if it would impede the opening of the college. Mr. Lee said the problem
involves the Draper Egg Company in Dryden which is emitting a pollu-
tion level higher than it should be causing operational problems in the
sewer plant. He understands the Village of Dryden's position is that they
are looking for much support from the Health Department to try to
clamp down on this particular customer. They are waiting for a settle-
ment and have not granted final approval for the extension of sewer
service to the TC3 site.
Mr. Abbott, Sales Tax Committee, said another date is being
scheduled for the meeting with the City Representatives because of con-
flicts in the previous date.
It was Moved by Mr. Webster, seconded by Mr. Kerr, That resolutions

ment of Resolution 116 for volunteer services; appointment of ALPHA

At this time Chairman Graves declared the minutes of May 14,
approved.
Under privilege of the floor, the following people spoke to the Board:
Bente King of the Finger Lakes Group of the Sierra Club, said they
have analyzed the plans of the NYSE&G Corporation for the proposed
Bell Station nuclear power plant as presented in . the Nuclear Utility
Services Environmental Feasibility report. The group opposes these
plans because the NUS report does not adequately cover many important
environmental considerations involved with the proposed plant. They
feel the Bell Station poses risks to present and future generations which
are too great to be justified by the benefits of the plant. They feel a
comprehensive national energy policy, integrated with other resource
planning is urgently needed. They are currently studying methods for
the conservation of electrical energy and will make its findings available
to the public in the near future.
Jane Rice, Co -Chairman of the Coalition to Conserve Cayuga Lake,
said they were presenting the Board with 2,583 more signatures of people
opposing Bell Station, which brings the total number of signatures to
5,839. Of these, she said 3,256 were Ithaca residents; 766 were residents
of universities or college dormitories; 475 were Trumansburg residents;
333 were from Lansing; 97 from Interlaken; 78 from Newfield; 93 —
people living outside a 100 mile radius of Lansing who use the lake for
recreation. The rest came from assorted villages and towns around the
lake. They urged the Board to go on record opposing the construction
of Bell Station.
Walter Lynn, of the school of Civil and Environmental Engineering
at Cornell, said the energy crisis is not an issue in this decision but
whether you agree that the best long-term use of Cayuga Lake is to
serve as a cooling basin with all risks.
May 29, 1973 123
Alfred Eipper, Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Citizens Com-
mittee to Save Cayuga Lake, said there are too many leadingexperts
on nudear engineering and nuclear physics who feel that enough is not
known about some of the still unanswered safety problems.
Robert 0. Pohl, resident of the Town of Lansing, focused on one
point associated with the nuclear energy program in general, that of
the nuclear waste. The problem of permanent waste disposal is not
solved and at this point, it is unclear how it can be solved eternally.
He said it will be our responsibility to decide whether we want to make
the step that will commit all future generations, and possibly even
destroy them.
Cornelia Hill, Chairman of the Citizens Committee to Save Cayuga
Lake, said they oppose construction of any nuclear plant on Cayuga
Lake.
Alex MacDaniels, Cayuga Lake Preservation Assn., said they believe
construction of such a plant on the lake would be unwise.
John Gill from Trumansburg said he feels what happens to Cayuga
Lake should be up to the people who live here.
Chairman Graves said the report of the Social Planning Council's Ad
hoc Committee on revenue sharing, has been received. He feels it is a
discouraging report because a human services group would be serving
so many people. He referred the report to the Budget and Administra-
tion and Social Services Committees.
Mr. Lee, Budget and Administration, said a progress report was re-
ceived from the Legislature pertinent to the fact that the sales tax bill
will be passed Saturday and will go to the governor for signature. That
is the bill which would distribute proceeds on the basis of population
to towns in particular that have villages. They had a letter from the
Town of Ulysses requesting to receive its sales tax revenue in cash rather
than credit.
He said the ballpark budgets are out to various department heads; a
meeting has been scheduled with President Bahar of TC3 to begin to
assess what kind of budgetary impact there will be when moving to the
new site; there will be a resolution advocating a study in Social Services
area for reimbursement from the federal government; a letter regarding
Tompkins County revenue sharing monies is being prepared to send
to the federal government. They feel it is too early to predict precise
impact of these monies. He said each board member was given a copy
of proposed charter changes for the office of Budget & Administration
and asked for board comments. He said there will be resolutions regard-
ing the old courthouse and building "c" this morning.
124 May 29, 1973
Mr. Golder, Intergovernmental Relations, met and discussed with the
DeWitt Historical Society, their proposal to lease space from Historic
Ithaca at the Clinton House; discussed with EOC and the City Youth
Bureau the question of year-round youth employment program.
Mr. Bruce, Planning and Public Works, met with Historical Society
and there will be a resolution later in the meeting with respect to the
boiler room at the County Home which will need two furnaces to be
extensively repaired. There will be a resolution presented today to de-
clare an emergency so they can bypass the usual bidding procedures
because the job is so complex. They need to have someone with knowl-
edge of the equipment and operate on a time and material basis. The
committee agreed to grant permission for Morse Chain to clear county
property which is proposed for sale by industrial development organi-
zation. He said Mr. Stevenson has reported on some of the activities at
the Caswell Road Landfill Site such as the use of compactors, etc. There
are ample materials to indicate the possibility of extending the lifetime
period of the site out to the original estimate. They decided not to buy
more land in the area. They will be making a recommendation on this
later. He also reported that the Instrument Landing System at the
airport is progressing and are negotiating for the disposal of the Heights
Restaurant. Their next committee meeting is scheduled for June 6.
Mr. Leary, Public Safety and Correction, reported that twenty appli-
cants have been received for the position of Sealer of Weights and
Measures and they will be making a recommendation. They will be
asking the new Sealer to make a daily report sheet. There will be a
resolution relative to the grant application for a half -way house. They
had a request from the Probation Department for an appropriation and
there will be a resolution at the next meeting. Mrs. Tolles contacted
the State regarding the study of the feasibility of consolidating the
various police agencies in Tompkins County to see why there has been
such a long delay. It is being held up because of the lack of cooperation
from the city. The committee is considering the upgrading of fire
dispatchers. The contract for SPCA has not been signed yet because they
want to clarify the contract. They also discussed the Probation appoint-
ment being upgraded.
Mr. Marcham, Health, was unhappy that the Bell Station resolution
was not on the agenda today. He reported they had received a standard
form from ALPHA, Regional Health Agency, asking for comments and
recommendations regarding funding for emergency health communica-
tion system.
They will consider the question raised by the Council as to when
Extendicare makes a proposal to us, they are in position of holding
public meetings. He said any hospital or health services program that
requires federal approval for state licensing requires action by the
Health Planning Council. Assuming we get an offer from Extendicare
May 29, 1973 125
before one from hospital, the council will plan to hold public meetings.
He said the primary care proposals which have been discussed are still
under discussion. They will take action at their next meeting on the
need for a secretary for the Health Planner. They asked the Council,
Social Planning Council, and Board of Managers, for comments on
whether they feel the hospital should continue to be private owned or
if they thought some other arrangement would be appropriate, and
they will be discussing this; they will get the first progress report of
EDP at the hospital business office at their next meeting. He said they
are sympathetic to the proposed change in the. Agriculture and Markets
Law regarding the handling and control of dogs and the updating of
the law. They also plan to discuss at their next meeting with the Health
Board and staff on various non-nuclear problems facing the lake and
also on the problems of water and land pollution. He also mentioned
that ARC is still operating.
Mr. Lee, Budget and Administration, said the hospital admini-
trator is looking into the problem of why an individual pays more for
a hospital room than an insurance carrier.
Mrs. Schickel said work is progressing at the TC3 construction site
and the 48 heating and ventilating units were put in place by helicopter.
Interiors were presented by CRS and they are looking into those.
It was Moved by Mr. Kerr, seconded by Mr. Miller, That resolutions
not on the agenda pertaining to Contract for St. Ambrose Church; TC3
Audit, DeWitt Historical Society Funding; application for funding —
Half -way House, and the withdrawal of resolutions relative to Alpha and

Under privilege of the floor, the following people spoke to the board
giving their opinions and views on the proposed Bell Station Nuclear
Plant:
June 11. 1973 133
James Cortright, Executive Secretary of the Ithaca -Cortland Builders
Exchange, presented two boxes of cards that he said had been signed by
ordinary people from all occupations. He said there were about 4,000
to 5,000 signatures for the construction and about 150 signatures against
the construction. He said the cards were put out by interested individuals
and not by a group. He said the cards were put in various locations and
anyone interested in signing them did so. He said the unemployment
rate is very low and the construction of such a plant would employ
many people. It is his hope personally and as a representative of the
construction industry, that after everyone has been heard, NYSE8cG will
build the station here.
Mr. John McAllister, 100 W. Buffalo Street, said the statement in the
Ithaca Journal said that people in this area are opposed to Bell Station
15-1. He said that is ridiculous because he feels it is not correct. He is in
favor of the construction.
Mr. Fudger said for the economic growth of the area that Bell Station
is needed. He feels the arguments about pollution do not warrant dis-
continuance of the construction of the plant. Also, he feels more dollars
on the tax rolls would help and there have been many nuclear plants
built and there has not been any adverse effect. He feels the plant should
be built.
Mrs. Dooley Kieffer, representing the League of Women Voters, read
a statement which said they can neither support nor oppose Bell Station
as such since they don't know what specific form and operating charac-
teristics this new version of "Cayuga No. 1" might take. If, however,
Bell Station is planned according to the NUS recommendations, the
League will oppose it, because the League is opposed to thermal (and
radioactive) pollution of Cayuga Lake. The League urges a definite
"go-slow" — "when in doubt, don't" attitude toward nuclear plants in
general.
Herbert Mahr, representing the Steering Committee of the new Demo-
cratic Coalition of Tompkins County, read their statement opposing
plans of NYSE&G Corp. to construct a nuclear power plant on Cayuga
Lake and urged that immediate consideration be given by both users
and producers to means of stabilizing energy demand, rather than to
further_ stimulating increased consumption. Such a policy would lessen
the risk of both power shortages and nuclear accidents until less dan-
gerous and environmentally damaging technology can he developed.
Shirley Rice, Betsy Darlington of Ithaca, and Mary Randall of Ithaca,
and Nora Grimm of Lansing, all spoke in opposition to the proposed
power plant.
Jane Rice, Co -Chairman of the Coalition to Save Cayuga Lake, pre-
134 June 11. 1973
sented 2,307 signatures opposing the power plant which brings the total
to 8,146. The Coalition urges the Board to oppose construction of Bell
Station not only because of the many conflicting opinions among scien-
tists but more important because of the large number of people who
oppose Bell Station from Tompkins County.
Mr. George Hughes said he feels New York State Electric & Gas
Corporation should_ be allowed to make application for the power plant.
He feels the federal and state agencies have the proper knowledge and
experience to make a decision.
Elaine Gill said she has attended many meetings relative to Bell Station
and obtained much information and found there is too much disagree-
ment among experts. She urged that the Board oppose Bell Station.
John Gill, Town of Ulysses, said the Coalition to Conserve Cayuga
Lake conducted a survey three days last week in the downtown business
District of Ithaca to determine just how people were reacting. There were
50% against; 39% — undecided and 10% were for the construction. They
urged the board to listen to the people and to follow a most cautious
approach and they believe the truly cautious and responsible approach
is to oppose construction.
David Hoffman, a teacher at Trumansburg, brought his class in to
observe the board meeting. He said they have studied Bell Station and
are interested in the issue. One of his students, Shawn Brown, said he
has collected about 500 signatures and the majority said they did not
want the plant.
1'Iary Weiner spoke in favor of the proposed Bell Station.
RESOLUTION NO. 154 — Endorsement of Proposed Bell Nuclear
Power Station
Mr. Golder offered the following resolution and moved its adoption:
RESOLVED, That the Board of Representatives of Tompkins County, hav-
ing considered the need of present and . future generations for additional
sources of electrical energy, confident of adherance to maximum safety
standards in the operation of a nuclear power plant by regulatory agencies
and the owner, and anticipating a design incorporating such measures, in-
cluding cooling towers, as will assure minimum thermal pollution of Cayuga
Lake, endorse the proposal of New York State Electric and Gas Corporation
for the construction of the Bell Nuclear Power Station, and be it
RESOLVED, further, That copies of this resolution be forwarded to the
New York State Electric and Gas Corporation, the Commission of the New
York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the Atomic Energy
Commission, and such other agencies of government which may have re-
sponsibility for review and approval of such proposal.
Seconded by Mr. Leary. Mr. Golder said this nation has had experience
June 11. 1973 135
in the construction of nuclear power plants and there is nothing in that
experience that indicates to him that the risks involved are so great that
they can't be accepted. He feels the demonstrated need for additional
sources of electricity is clear. There are unresolved questions about
thermal pollution of the lake and he feels his resolution indicates, on
the basis of present knowledge, the hope that the design is going to pre-
vent thermal pollution of the lake.
It was Moved by Mr. Dates, seconded by Mr. MacNeil, that the words
"such measures including cooling towers" be deleted and add "in-
corporating environmental safeguards required by state and federal
agencies". A roll call was taken and resulted as follows: Ayes — Repre-
sentatives Abbott, Culligan, Dates, Holden, Kerr, Leary, Lee, MacNeil,
and Graves — 9. Noes — Bruce, Golder, Marcham, Miller, Schickel,
Tolles and Webster — 7. Motion Carried.
Mrs. Schickel asked if it was appropriate to take a position like this'
particularly when there are so many unanswered questions and un-
knowns and feels they have insufficient knowledge to base a judgment.
She feels it inappropriate to take a stand.
It was Moved by Mr. Culligan, seconded by Mr. Kerr, That this reso-
lution be tabled for forty-five minutes. Ayes — Representatives Culligan,
Dates, Kerr, MacNeil, and Miller — 5. Noes — Abbott, Bruce, Golder,
Holden, Leary, Lee, Marcham, Schickel, Tolles, Webster and Graves —
11. Motion to Table Lost.
Mr. Dates and Mr. Kerr read their resolutions. Mrs. Tolles reported
that she had asked opinions of 417 people which is 38% of the registered
voters in her district. Of these people 25 or 6% had no opinion; 88 or
21% are for Bell Station; 195 or 47% are against; 109 or 26% want
more guarantees ecology -wise and safety -wise. She said she will be
obliged to vote no on this issue.
Mr. Marcham said various boards and bodies in the county have made
comments to this board with their reasons. His feeling is the resolution
is unreflective of the concerns expressed here. He said it is known to us
that there is going to be damage to the lake and no one denies that heat-
ing the lake will damage it. He noted this industry is uninsurable and es-
sentially unmanageable. Unmanageable is cited in Science Magazine,
Vol. 180, simply because the insurance companies are unwilling to take
on the nature of the risks involved. He considers it an experiment since
this is the first time a lake of this size, used as a water supply, is used
for a nuclear power plant. He feels the Board should not support this
resolution.
Mr. Bruce opposes the resolution because there is one aspect — the
136 June 11. 1973
level of risk the people are willing to accept. The contact he had with
people in his district indicates they are opposed to this. He feels the
board should act to reflect the wishes of the people they represent. All
through the resolution and other comments there has been indicated a
feeling that we can trust the experts despite the fact they themselves
are divided on this issue. He doesn't feel the wishes of the people in the
community are going to carry much weight in the experts decision.
Therefore, he urged the board to oppose it.
Mr. Webster said he contacted people in his district and 15 were for;
54 were against and wanted more answers; 4 were of no opinion; 2
wanted not to vote but obtain more answers.
Mr. Lee called on Mr. Murphy to present a recalculation of 1973
Town and County Rates, assuming various potential assessments of
proposed Bell Station. The schedule is intended only to show the effect
of additional assessment on 1973 County, Town, and Lansing School
District Rates. It is not to be interpreted as a prediction of any future
rate.

138 June 11. 1973.
It was agreed that Mr. Golder and Mr. Kerr's resolution be combined
and Mr. Kerr presented it as follows:
RESOLUTION NO. 154 — Endorsement Proceeding with Application
for License of the Proposed Bell Station
Mr. Kerr offered the following resolution and moved its adoption:
WHEREAS, New York State Electric & Gas Corporation has indicated
its intention to apply to the proper state and federal agencies for license to
construct and operate a nuclear powered electrical generating station in the
Town of Lansing, adjacent to their presently operating Milliken Station, and
WHEREAS, constitutionally and legally designated state and federal
agencies and bodies have been assigned the responsibilities to determine
the criteria under which such nuclear powered electrical generating stations
are to be licensed for construction and operation, and
WHEREAS, both state and federal law provides for public hearing, re-
hearings if needed, decisions by these bodies and appeals from such decisions
as may be brought about by interested citizens, such appeals being heard and
reviewed by our established court system, and
WHEREAS, it is the broad duty of this county board to promote and protect
the public interest in all its aspects and to provide to all its good citizens
both private and corporate equal protection and opportunity under the laws
of our land, and
WHEREAS, all citizens of the area surrounding the proposed construction
site and our great aquatic resource, Cayuga Lake, are vitally interested and
rightly concerned with any threats, real or imagined, to the quality of our
total environment, and
WHEREAS, all citizens of Tompkins and surrounding counties deserve to
be publicly heard as to their views relating to the proposed nuclear powered
electrical generating facility, and
WHEREAS, the needed public hearings and accepted legal procedures will
be initiated only upon application for license to construct such a facility, now
therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the Board of Representatives of Tompkins County
having considered the need of present and future generations for additional
sources of .electrical energy confident of adherence to maximum safety
standards and the operation of a nuclear power plant by the regulatory
agencies and the owner and anticipating a design incorporating the environ-
mental safeguards that are required by state and federal agencies as will
assure minimum thermal pollution of Cayuga Lake, endorse the proposal
of New York State Electric and Gas Corporation for the construction of
the Bell Nuclear Power Station, and be it
RESOLVED, further, That all submitted opinions, petitions, and surveys
properly supported by data of the conditions under which they were ad-
ministered and by whom they were sponsored, be appended to this resolution,
RESOLVED, That all copies of this resolution be forwarded to the New
York State Electric and Gas Corporation, the Commissioner of the New York
State Department of Environmental Conservation, New York State Depart-
ment of Health, New York State Public Service Commission, Atomic Energy
Commission, and such other agencies of government which may have respon-
sibility for review and approval of such proposal.
Mr. Kerr explained that there are several steps in licensing. The first
of which is a license for construction. This is not a license to operate,
distribute power, etc. All of these things are another step. The commit-
ment of construction is not a final commitment to license. In a few
years when it may be readyto operate, all these things will be reviewed,
June 11. 1973 139
another set of public hearings will be held before any license to operate
is granted. He said this is an extremely controversial issue and the reso-
lution in no way limits or prohibits the appearance of any individual
before agencies who will hold public hearings. Public input of views is
needed and he thinks this type of accepted procedure under the laws of
our land should be accepted and supported by all and sundry interested
in this issue. This board should see that all information available be
presented at these hearings. The resolution supports the application
for a construction license.
After a lengthy discussion, it was Moved by Mr. Bruce, seconded by
Mr. Webster, that the resolution be amended to add another paragraph
stating "all submitted opinions, petitions and surveys properly sup-
ported by data and conditions under which they are administered and
by whom they were sponsored be appended to this resolution." A roll call
resulted: Ayes — Abbott, Bruce, Dates, Kerr, Lee, MacNeil, Tolles, Web-
ster, and Graves — 9. Noes — Culligan, Golder, Holden, Leary, Marcham,
Miller, Schickel — 7. Amendment Carried.*
A roll call was taken on the original resolution as amended. Ayes —
Representatives Holden, Kerr, Leary, Lee, MacNeil, Abbott, Culligan,
Dates, Golder, and Graves — 10. Noes — Bruce, Marcham, Miller,
Schickel (because there is danger to my children and my children's
children) , Tolles (because people I represent told me to) , Webster — 6.
Resolution as amended Carried.

Cayuga Lake Basin Board recommended endorsement of the Bell
Station project with the proviso that the board will actively participate
in close cooperation with the appropriate supervisory agencies of the
State and Federal governments to add further guarantees that the
public interest in the fullest sense is protected.
Tompkins County Planning Board did not feel competent to com-
ment on health of the public and environmental concerns. They felt
the impact of overall growth, housing, tourism, industrial develop-
ment, agricultural viability would be minimal. They feel the overall
economy long-range effects would be modest. It was agreed that the
overall impact on the tax structure would be significant.
The Tompkins County Board of Health recommended New York
State Electric & Gas Corporation proceed to apply for necessary con-
struction permits for Bell Station with the hope that they will keep the
public well informed on all phases of the project.
Mr. John McAllister, Mr. Fudger, Mr. George Hughes, and Mrs.
Mary Weiner spoke in favor of the construction of Bell Station on
Cayuga Lake.
Various Committee chairmen reported as follows:
Mr. Lee, Budget and Administration Committee, had a request from
the Town of Ithaca pertinent to the water and sewer district. A few
years ago they ran into tremendous cost problems which rose water
and sewer rates on South Hill. There is pending litigation pertinent to
some properties. Supervisor Schwan requested the county consider
the possibility of paying for the back taxes which have not been col-
lected from the Compton property. The committee voted against this
because there is a precedent that a number of taxpayers in that district
have paid their bills and the Town of Ithaca did pay the tax for the
Monkemeyer property. Therefore, the committee is recommending the
Town of Ithaca consider this. The Town of Ithaca has consolidated
all water and sewer districts since this first tax was levied. They are in
June 11. 1973 141
the process of forwarding the revenue sharing letter for signature by the
chairman and disbursement to the press.
Mr. Bruce, Planning and Public Works Committee, said they had
further discussed the disposition of the Boardman House and agreed
to make its availability known. They intend to advertise for proposals.
He also reported that the Planning Board began serious preliminary
discussion of general development patterns for the county. They are
looking at alternatives and agreed it needs to be taken to the people for
comment. This will be done in late summer and at that time solicit in-
puts from citizens' groups, the board itself and others on this important
question.
Mr. Graves asked about the situation concerning the Cresent Theater.
Mr. Kerr said the thought was the county would put up at least $19,000
per year towards the purchase of the proposed building. At the end of
payment period, the Historical Society would own it. However, it had
been just a proposal.
Mr. Leary, Public Safety and Correction Committee, spoke relative to
the SPCA contract which has not been signed yet pending clarification.
Also, they interviewed applicants for the Sealer of Weights and Measures.
He asked to withdraw the resolution of appointment until more input
is received. Mrs. Tolles contacted Mr. McCloskey from the State regard-
ing the feasibility study and will be contacting the city.
Mr. Marcham, Health Committee, noted they had a meeting with the
Board of Health to discuss other problems of the lake and sanitary
problems in the county. He said an application for funding for emer-
gency notification system at the hospital has to be in July 15. Also, the
personnel matter that was referred to them is being turned back because
it now requires joint action. There is confusion as to representation on
an ad hoc committee to propose Tompkins Cunty Office for Aging. There
will be a meeting on that today. He said the Health Committee will meet
June 14 at 7:30 p.m. He said Extendicare's president may visit here June
18 and make a proposal. He said they continue forward with the re-
quest for funds for health planning secretary. They advertised for the
last meeting and he wants that ad to continue in force for the next
meeting.
Mrs. Schickel said general construction of the new Community College
building is 55 per cent completed and slightly ahead of the revised
schedule. She also referred to a letter from Charles McCord, Supervisor
of the Town of Dryden, regarding the hospital program and the Town
Board's opinion is that a clear concise statement outlining the total
health care needs of the county be articulated. Once this has been drawn
up the facility, location and size necessary to meet the health needs for
the foreseeable future can be implemented.

Under privilege of the floor, Supervisor Walter Schwan of the Town of,
Ithaca, reported on the meeting in Moravia between Cayuga, Cortland,
Tioga and Tompkins County. The purpose was to see if there was any
June 18, 1973 149
possibility to do something about the petition of the Lehigh Valley Rail-
road to abandon trackings in the system. There will be another meeting
June 26 at 6:30 p.m.
Various committee chairmen reported as follows:
Mr. Lee, Budget and Administration, reported they met with the
Board of Trustees of the Community College and Cortland County to
get an overview of the state of the college. The committee is interested
in what the prognosis looks like pertinent to the budget for the college
for the current year and the future. A detailed copy of the budget will
be available June 22 and then they will have a joint meeting with
Intergovernmental Relations and the college to review that situation.
Another item brought up was there will be a considerable amount of
square footage that will not be utilized in the new building and they
are in the process of drafting a memo to the Planning Committee to
make some suggestions and requests for what county activities might be
transferred to that facility. They reviewed data processing progress with
the Touchette Corporation. They are hoping to hear a proposal with
modifications for the committees consideration. The committee agreed
to send to the planning board of the county a memo in which they will
request them to make an assessment of the human needs in Tompkins
County and attempt to outline for that committee to make such evalua-
tion or judgment of the potential human needs in the county in the
eight categories which were specified by the revenue sharing letter sent
to them. The other item connected with this effort is that he, Mr. Bruce,
and Mr. Marcham will be meeting with Mr. Shipherd to review some
problems in the United Fund.
Mr. Golder, Intergovernmental Relations Committee, said their next
meeting will be held June 27th at 7:30 p.m.
Mr. Bruce, Planning and Public Works, said his committee will meet
June 25 at 11:00 a.m.
Mrs. Tolles said Mr. McCloskey will be notifying the committee when
he will visit regarding the feasibility study on combining police agencies
in the county.
Mr. Marcham, Health Committee, said they met on the emergency
communication system for ambulances but have not yet reached a deci-
sion. He said he, Mr. Kerr, and representatives from the hospital visited
The New York State Health Department. The department appears
willing to extend the Part 2 deadline for hospital construction applica-
tion from July 9 to November 15 if Eugene Arnold, Administrator,
sends explanation of reasons for delay. An architect will be needed to as-
sist in the November 15 deadline work; the committee was advised the
150 June 18, 1973
hospital is to proceed to search for an architect so he can work with
Tribrook and managers and be ready for deadline. If the deadline is
missed, the county could lose its 250-350 bed allotment for any new
hospital. He said the visit also re -affirmed that state law forbids a
corporation that does not have its headquarters in New York State from
being licensed to operate a hospital in the state. To .get around this,
someone like Extendicare would need to a) challenge in court on the
basis the law was unconstitutional, which might take 2-3 years; or b)
have the law amended, which would take at least a year from now and
appears quite unlikely. He said Extendicare hopes to visit Ithaca for a
presentation to the board and public soon. The committee agreed to
wait until it heard the firm's proposal before deciding when to bring the
matter to the floor of the full board for action.
He said Mr. Murphy reported on the hospital computer progress and
there is progress on all fronts, and the near completion of a study that
would determine how long it took the hospital (in five sample days) to
prepare a bill, bill, and then get paid by third parties. There was also
discussion about the possible state mandated Office of Aging in order
for county to get any funds for its senior citizens activities. He men-
tioned that it may be cheaper to forego state aid and just pick up the
state's share.
He said there will be a meeting Thursday evening at 8:00 p.m. for
general discussion on forms of organizing a hospital. He noted the
Appalachian grant has been made for the primary care unit and people..
are still working on a plan for organizing the unit. He also mentioned
that the committee had such complicated budgets that they are asking
the departments to have their budgets in by July and August. ,
Mr. MacNeil, Social Services, said there is a program underway which
would be advantageous for the community college to take up — training
of Day Care mothers. Also, the department has been studying the pro-
posal for space needs and will bereferred to the committee for study.
The services function of Social Services is now appointing a caseworker
to handle child abuse cases because the cases are increasing. He also
said the search for a new Commissioner is looking brighter.
Mr. Graves announced there will be no Executive Committee Meeting
in July unless someone has something to be discussed.
It was moved by Mr. Culligan, seconded by Mr. Leary, That resolu-
tions not on the agenda pertaining to Transfer from Hospital Enter-
prise Fund; County Home Capital Construction Account, be considered
at this meeting. Carried.

annual payment hereinabove provided for, prorated for that portion of_ the
calendar year remaining at that time, less the prorated amount of taxes and
assessments prepaid by Groff Associates.
C. Thereafter, such annual payment shall be due and payable at the same
time and upon the same terms, conditions, interest and penalties as are im-
posed upon all County and Town taxes payable in the month of January
each year, beginning with the first January following the date on which
the first prorated annual payment was made as provided for in paragraph
(A) above; the obligation to make such payment shall be deemed to be a
lien on the real property and the remedies available for the collection of
such payment, and the foreclosure of such lien, or other enforcement of said
lien or obligation shall be governed by and in the same manner as provided
by the Real Property Tax Law of the State of New York or any other

6. Payments in lieu of taxes as described in the aforesaid resolution of the
Town of Ithaca, shall be apportioned by the Town of Ithaca between the
County of Tompkins, Town of Ithaca, and Ithaca City School District in the
same manner as taxes: That is, the total tax per thousand assessed valuation
for all local taxing authorities would be determined as of each January 1st.
This would constitute the denominator, the numerator would be the respec-
tive amount of total tax per thousand assessed valuation of the respec-
tive taxing authority whose share is to be determined. The result is multi-
plied by 100 which gives a percentage. The percentage is then multiplied by
the payment in lieu of taxes and the result is the share of the respective
local taxing authority, and will be disbursed accordingly.
Seconded by Mr. Marcham. Mr. Walter Schwan, Supervisor of the
Town of Ithaca, explained that this project is a middle income housing
authority for elderly people 62 years of age and over with an income
level below $6800 per year. He said a study was made and there is a need
for this type of project. He said there is a question of whether tax
stabilization represents a precedent in the county. It is the feeling of
the Ithaca Town Board that the idea of tax stabilization to elderly
people was established by the state; basically they established a precedent
for this type of thing. They feel they are merely extending privilege
one step further from low to middle income.
Mr. Lee said the majority (3-2) of committee did not favor the pro-
posal. He noted they did not try to evaluate the merits of this proposal
as to whether it is needed, advantages, site location, etc.; they tried only
154 June 18, 1973
to focus on the question of should tax stabilization be granted for forty
years which is the term of this project. He said they have an overburden-
ing obligation to insure stabilization for taxes for all individuals in
Tompkins County both in public and private section and mentioned
the area apartment vacancy rate was approaching 20 per cent after a
long time zero rate. Because of the principle and precedent involved,
the majority recommended the tax abatement not be granted.
Mr. Bruce feels this project being a profitable venture for the de-
veloper is irrelevant, the question is whether or not it is good for the
county. He said the investigation done shows there is a need for this
type of facility.
After further discussion, a roll call vote was taken as follows: Ayes —
Kerr, MacNeil, Marcham, Miller, Tolles, Webster, Bruce — 7. Noes —

Chairman declared a five-minute recess at 10:10 a.m. at committee
request.
Various committee chairmen reported as follows:
Mr. Lee, Budget and Administration, reported that the Department
of Environmental Conservation is working to acquire a parcel of 10 acres
owned by Tompkins County in Lot 9, Town of Caroline. He also re-
ported that the government has signedthe tax abatement bill for flood
damage by Hurricane Agnes. We are now in the process of going back
and making a refund to property owners. He asked the news media to get
in touch with John Murphy to advertise this fact The Budget and Ad-
ministration Committee on EDP is going to ask the Ad Hoc Committee
to re -constitute itself to evaluate the progress of our two years in EDP.
The re -valuation of property in the county continues with work in
Ulysses and working around the. lake.
Mr. Golder, Intergovernmental Relations, announced a meeting on
July 10 to review the TC3budget for 1973-74.
Mr. Kerr, Planning and Public Works, reported the committee had
discussed there -opening of the restaurant at the airport which was closed
and the equipment sold by the Internal Revenue Service. Concerning the
airport fixed -base operator refusing to sell gasoline to the FAA airplane,
it was said that the county was late in acting but action was not taken
until a formal complaint was received and well documented. This is a
160 July 9, 1973
serious violation of the contract with the county. Such an action puts
the county in violation of its contract under which we receive state and
federal monies aid for construction and operation of the airport. Notice
was therefore given to the fixed -base operator that he must indicate in
some way that it was an error or apologize for that type of management.
A letter is to come to this board with a copy to the airport manager, the
original of course to the FAA office in New York City saying that such
a thing will not be repeated. The fixed -base operator was put on notice
that the county will not tolerate such a breach of contract and that it
must be corrected by the 25th of July. The county has more than a
quarter of a million in grants at stake. He also said they had. taken up.
the terms for sale or lease of Boardman House and the criteria is in
print in the offices of the Clerk, Planning. and Public Works, and have
been for six months. It is planned to advertise that the property is avail-
able for lease or sale in the local paper and one other of general circula-
tion in central New York. About the first of September we expect offers
to be in our hands and sometime in September we will have a resolution
for disposition. The Environmental Council has developed a plan for
the betterment of Tompkins County with an inventory of projects of
this sort, hopefully, county parks, forests, recreation and unique areas.
In response to Mrs. Tolles question of an equitable value on the Board-
man House, Mr. Kerr said it was felt that the county has $70,000 invested
in the property.
Mrs. Schickel reported that the Tompkins -Cortland Community Col-
lege had received accreditation from the Middle States Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Commission on Higher Education.
The weather has been favorable and work continues on the construction
of the college. In response to Mr. Lee's question on change orders, Mrs.
Schickel said the orders go through several reviews and where there were
omissions or errors in the planning stages we will probably get some
reimbursement.
Mr. Dates reported that the Sheriff assumed the duties of security at
the airport in early 1973. A letter from the Sheriff has explained the
problems in covering all flights. A full-time man is tied up for about
12 hrs. while getting paid for eight hours.
Mr. John Miller, Fire and Disaster Coordinator, explained the con-
sideration given by the Public Safety and Correction and Health Commit-
tees to apply for a grant by Johnson and Johnson Foundation to update
our ambulance communications system. It would mean $67,065 to
Tompkins County over a two-year period. At the end of the two-year
program the county would have to assume the radio maintenance and
the retraining of personnel to handle the calls. Mr. Culligan questioned
private ambulances raising rates to pay for this service.
Mr. Graves declared a recess at 10:55 a.m., business resumed at 11:02
a.m.
July 9, 1973 161
Mr. Culligan, Health, reported on a meeting of alternate methods of
running the hospital. A person from the Sloan Institute felt the Board
of Managers was constituted politically and Mr. Culligan said he felt
they had always tried to get people with experience to assist the hospital.
He also mentioned that a group had gone to Albany concerning health
problems and since Extendicare does not have headquarters in New York
State, Extendicare should come to us from Albany. It may take 1-3 years
to change the law concerning headquarters.
There were no objections to the proposal that Chairman Graves write
a letter to Extendicare to encourage them to complete their investigation
and make a proposal to Tompkins County.
Mr. Lee reported that a meeting was held on June 26 on the Lehigh
Valley railroad crisis by the counties of Tioga, Tompkins, Cayuga and
Cortland. A committee was formed consisting of a member from each of
the four county legislatures. The next meeting will be July 11 at the
Sheraton Motor Inn. On July 3 Mr. Dates and Mr. Lee attended a meet-
ing of the Chamber of Commerce on this particular problem. One
aspect of the problem is that the railroad is nowtransporting approxi-
mately 187,000 tons of coal a year to the Milliken Station power plant.
Mr. Dates read the following statement concerning Industrial De-
velopment:
"The Tompkins County Industrial Development Agency has received
an application from a local commercial corporation desiring revenue
bond financing of approximately $2,500,000.
The Tompkins County I.D.A. has determined through legal counsel
that it has the legal capacity to act on this application. It has further
determined that the project fills a critical local need and in every respect
fills the requirement of public purpose.
It is the opinion of bond counsel that the project meets the Internal
Revenue requirements making the Industrial Bonds tax free and these
bonds will be privately placed making the project completely local in
nature.
We should like to emphasize:
1. The project will be subject to payments in lieu of taxes equal to the
taxes that would be levied if the project was financed in the usual
manner.
2. Tompkins County has no liability of any kind as a result of the issue
of bonds.
3. Employment will be increased if this project becomes a fact.
162 July 9, 1973
4. The project is of vital local concern, and
5. If this application is approved, the Tompkins County I.D.A. will be
fulfilling the purpose for which it was created by Special Act of the
New York State Legislature and recorded in Chapter 535 of the Laws
of 1971.
If and when all the contracual details of this project have been settled,
there will be a public announcement made jointly by the owner, the
financial institutions involved and the Tompkins County I.D.A.
Mr. Culligan reported on a meeting he and Mr. Dates attended at
Eisenhower College concerning the level of Cayuga Lake. A report will
be made to the local bodies at a later date.
It was moved by Mr. Dates, seconded by Mr. Miller and Carried, to
bring up the following resolutions that were not on the agenda: Amend-

Ronald Space, Chairman of the Community College Board of Trus-
tees, gave a state -of -the -college report. He said in their day school for the
past year it was 50% technical or applied curriculum type of program
and 50% transfer. This is an increase on the technical side and they are
noticing a growth in this area. They are entering into an RN Program
along with LPN Program this fall. There has been a 15% increase in
applications in the technology area. In mechanical technology, the ap-
plications are up 39% over last year, construction technology up 14%,
secretarial science 35% and accounting 60%. These are all technical ap-
plied areas. Total applications are up over 8% and admissions up over
8%. They have carried on some work with NCR, Morse Chain pro-
viding them services in such things as warehouse management, welding,
statistics. They have a federally funded program in governmental man-
agement training. They have a Human Services Program in Police
Science; 45 people employed by Social Services Department studying
at the college; had 62 people complete a real estate course. They are
also going to be involved with state funded program for black construc-
tion workers which will be taught jointly by unions and Ithaca -Cortland
Builders Exchange. They handled for two years a federally funded man-
power development training act which trains clerk -typists here in down-
town Ithaca and was very successful. They also have a 2 for 1 program
where a student takes one year at TC3 and transfers to Morrisville, etc.
They cooperate with the American Institute of Banking and provide
services with them for college credit and look forward to doing the same
thing for Certified Life Underwriters in the future. There has been
interest expressed for programs for electronics technology. He mentioned
the possible involvement with Tioga County and said a few years ago
in the discussion the funding of the college construction program, they
originally started out with Phase .I proposal then it became possible to
receive federal funds for expanded type programs in order to build
Phases I and II together. At that time discussion was entered into to
determine if there would be a possibility of filling the larger facility with
some type of outside involvement and Tioga County expressed an inter-
est and they have further explored this. In the construction area, it is
proceeding very well. As of July 1 with 56% of elapsed time, the gen-
eral contractor completed 62%, electrical — 49%; plumbing — 81%;
heating and ventilating was 64%, so they are ori schedule. They expect
the masonry work to be done in September. The site work is progressing
rapidly. They have had to have some change orders totalling about
$150,000. He said it is not an alarming amount for the size of the facility.
This is being scrutinized very cautiously. He said anyone who would like
to visit the facility is welcome.
Under privilege of the floor, Mrs. Emmy Walrad, read a letter from
the 'Tompkins County Welfare Rights Organization. They feel the
July 23, 1973 179

and said an administrator is needed there and the board has not ap-
pointed one yet. The letter referred to long waits for people to get help
from Social Services. It also said space is a problem there which causes a
great deal of tension. They feel the Social Services Committee hasn't
communicated the problems well to the rest of the board members. The
Chairman thanked her for having concern , for the taxpapers of the
county.

taking the state park land out which was inadvertently included. There-
fore, according to the resolution the agricultural district is as originally

ministrator. He also said they are monitoring very carefully the $600,000
shortfall of the hospital budget.

Mr. Marcham presented Mr. Dean Grout, Vice President, of Extendi-
care, Inc.
Mr. Grout presented a preliminary report as follows:
"Please consider this a preliminary proposal of Extendicare's intent
to replace the existing Tompkins County Hospital in Ithaca, New York.
A more definitive proposal will be made at such time as the Hospital's
consultant has submitted his recommendations and after we have had a
chance to review this preliminary proposal with the various parties in-
volved in the planning process. Briefly, our proposal is as follows:
1) We are proposing that Tompkins County enter into a development
August 13, 1973 187
and management agreement with Extendicare, Inc. to act as their
agent to do the following:
a) Plan the new hospital and procure all the necessary approvals
for licensure.
b) Negotiate a contract for construction; let contract; and super-
vise the project during construction.
c) Fully equip the hospital with Groups I, II, and III.
d) Manage the facility utilizing all existing personnel that is
needed at the new hospital.
The development agreement and management contract will spell
out all details of Extendicare's responsibility as well as the respon-
sibility of Tompkins County. The fee structure of both the turn-
key and management will be covered in these contracts.
2) The hospital will have approximately 156,000 square feet of space
and it will be four to five stories in height. There will be a total of
39 private rooms and the remainder will be semi -private. There
will be no ward beds, with the exemption of the seven ICU beds
and six CCU beds. It will have all services of an acute-care hospital,
such as a large emergency service with minor operating rooms, a
large surgical suite, inhalation therapy, EKG/EEG, physical therapy
and rehabilitation, laboratory, radiology, volunteer service, medical
records, central sterile supply, in-service training, and of course,
the so called service departments, such as kitchen, maintenance,
pharmacy, business administration, etc. The nursing units will be a
double corridor plan, which we are building now exclusively. These
units are more expensive to construct, but we find are much less
expensive to operate from a staffing viewpoint.
3) We are recommending a minimum of 234 acute-care beds broken
down as follows:
Medical/Surgical 189
Intensive care 7
Coronary care 6
Obstetrics 20
Pediatrics 12
Total 234
You will note we have purposely left out psychiatry and the re-
habilitation beds, since it is our recommendation that you con-
sider placing those services in the existing hospital building. We
understand there is a Community Mental Health Center located
188 August 1.3, 1973
near the hospital and it would seem to us that this facility might
also be moved into the existing hospital so that you could handle
both outpatients and inpatients in the same general area. As far
as rehabilitation is concerned, we have no objection to making
those beds part of medical/surgical or general care so long as we
can get proper reimbursement from Third Party agencies. Our
experience has been that when you try to place an extended care
unit within the confines of the general hospital, you have reim-
bursement problems. Extendicare would agree, however, to man-
age both of these services as part of the total complex.
4) The estimated costs exclusive of land is $12,500,000 to $15,000,000.
A more precise figure will be submitted after reviewing our pro-
gram with the physicians and the Planning Committee. Our final
proposal will have a guaranteed not to exceed price to include all
fees, contingencies, and equipment.
5) We propose to finance the new facility by selling industrial revenue
bonds under Internal Revenue ruling #6320. The following steps
under this program would be taken:
a) Extendicare would petition the county or city to create a
non-profit corporation under the state incorporation laws.
The purpose of the non-profit corporation is to act as the
legal entity from which tax free revenue bonds will be issued.
b) Subsequently, the county or city would draft the necessary
papers to implement this petition, which is usually in the
form of a resolution.
c) It will be necessary that a feasibility study by a major ac-
counting firm, such as Coopers & Lybrand, be submitted as
support for the sale of the bonds.
d) The non-profit corporation would enter into an inducement
contract with an underwriter which would enable the under-
writer to sell revenue bonds in the amount sufficient to
cover all costs of the project. The non-profit corporation
would enter into a management contract with Extendicare
to manage the facility after it is completed.
e) All the necessary legal papers would be prepared and the
bonds sold.
f) After the bonds are sold, the proceeds would be turned over
to a trustee bank and all monies would be expended as
directed by the non-profit corporation.
Our attorneys in New York tell us that there is nothing specifically
in the New York Law that states this type of financing can be
done for hospitals, but they also informed us that a slight change
in the law could be made without difficulty to permit this type of
financing.
August 13, 1973 189
6) The non-profit corporation will enter into a management contract
with Extendicare to manage the new facility after it is completed.
The management agreement will spell out all aspects of Extendi-
care's responsibility and the responsibility of Tompkins County.
The term of this contract will be negotiable, but Extendicare would
not consider a term of less than five years. The fee will be based
either on a percentage of gross billings or a dollar amount per
patient day. Extendicare will provide all computer services, all con-
sulting services, and perform all management services for the
hospital operation.
7) Extendicare will agree to contract with the county or city or other
legal entity for the provision of certain services as support for the
proposed primary care centers. Extendicare would provide certain
administrative services, outpatient services, and rehabilitation pro-
grams on a cost plus basis. The details of this would be spelled
out in the management agreement.
If the Board of Representatives considers this preliminary proposal
acceptable, we will need a resolution of intent from the Board of Repre-
sentatives authorizing them to begin negotiating with Extendicare on
definitive agreements covering both the development as well as the
management of the proposed hospital. We will need a steeringcommit-
tee to work with during the planning stage. The present Hospital Plan-
ning Committee would be acceptable to Extendicare, but we will want
direction from the Board of Representatives on this point. Following
the signing of these agreements, our planning staff will begin prelim-
inary plans for review by the steering committee. After the preliminary
plans have been approved, we will prepare final plans which will be
done by an outside architectural firm. Our best estimate, following all
necessary approvals by the planning agencies, is that it will take approxi-
mately six months to finish all the necessary planning, negotiate a con-
tract, and begin construction. This, of course, is contingent on there
being no unusual delays by the Board of Health and the Planning Com-
mittee in reviewing all the plans.
I wish to thank you for the opportunity of making this proposal, and
I will be looking forward to a response from you in the near future."
A question and answer period followed.
Mrs. Schickel questioned if there have been any offers for lease or
sale of Boardman House. Mr. Kerr said there has not been although
there has been one or two inquiries. He said an official notice for lease
or sale has appeared in the newspapers. The deadline is August 31. Mrs.
Schickel said she received a letter from Mr. Treman, Tompkins County
Environmental Management Council, in which he asked groups of peo-
190 August 13, 1973
ple to identify and preserve the unique areas of the county. There are
about 5,000 citizens who identified Boardman House as one of these
places. Also, the Landmarks Commission, State and National Historic
Trust has designated this as an historical, architectural, and educational
interest. She asked if everything has been done to make the preservation
of Boardman House feasible and practical such as applying for a HUD
grant, special financing arrangements, or possibly tax abatement. She
recommended the appointment of a small, select committee of the most
capable, financial, developmental, legal and historic -preservation persons
in this community to find ways to make it feasible and to make a recom-
mendation to the board as to what we should do to insure preservation
of the Boardman House.
Mr. Graves appointed Harris Dates and Frank Liguori as liaison to
New York State Electric & Gas Corporation relative to the proposed coal-
fired plant on Cayuga Lake.
Mr. Dates said he attended a meeting called by NYSE&G Corporation
pertinent to the Bell Station Plant and would be attending future meet-
ings and report back to the board.
Mr. Lee, Budget and Administration, reported they are moving ahead
in evaluation of data processing, particularly relating to Social Services.
They hope to have a memo out soon outlining the budget schedule and
will be presenting guidelines at the Executive Committee meeting on
September 4. He also requested a public hearing pertinent to the county
administrator changes. He said he hopes the Intergovernmental Rela-
tions will have a chance to incorporate other suggested changes also.
Mr. Bruce, Planning and Public Works, said in September they hope
to bring in specific proposals in respect to Building C and the Old Court
House. He said he, Mr. Marcham, Mr. Murphy and others met with
representatives of the ad hoc committee of Senior Citizens Council who
have been looking into the question of establishing an office of the
Aging in Tompkins County. The proposals and alternatives were re-
viewed and they were not sympathetic with the idea of establishing an
office this year .for purposes of deciding what kinds of programs are
needed in that area. They feel there is still more exploration that needs
to be done. They will be hearing from them in the future. He said the
airport improvements are proceeding on schdule. They are considering
Mr. Liguori's request of the possibility of improving the telephone ex-
change. Mr. Bruce asked Mrs. Schickel to make her proposal on the
Boardman House available to the Planning Department. He said the
County has made this building available for lease or sale. They had one
outside party that was interested in going in the building but the, con-
clusion was that it was not a viable proposition.
Mr. Stevenson explained that he has been working with the Telephone
August 13, 1973 191
Company for four years to get a Centrix here. He was told by the Public
Service Commission that they could not offer any extended services up-
state until N.Y.C. was straightened out. Since that time the hospital has
it and the telephone company is now working on whether to add on the
hospital or do the Court House separately. This has been in the works
for six months.
Mrs..Tolles said she received a letter from Charles Herndon, Director
of the Economic Opportunity Corporation, enclosinga copy of the action
taken by the Board of Directors in regard to the EOC, Human Rights
working relationship. They moved to accept the Human Rights Com-
mission as a delegate agency subject to negotiations of a legal contract
acceptable to all parties. Human Rights would have their own board but
be financed as a delegate agency under EOC.
Mr. Lee asked what progress had been made for future fire precau-
tions at the landfill site. Mr. Stevenson said the larger materials are
being buried with the landfill on a daily basis. A pond is being built and
they have access to a portable pump.
Mr. Kerr said he and two other board members attended the County
Legislators' school at Cornell University. There were sessions on how to
improve county government. This school will be held throughout the
state.
Mr. Leary, Public Safety and Correction, said he has spoken with the
Sealer of Weights and Measures and he is doing a fine job. Also, he said
the Sheriff has requested air-conditioning for the new patrol cars. Bids
are being prepared. He commended the Sheriff's Department for the
solution of the bank robbery in Trumansburg and also the handling of
traffic during the rock festival.
Mr. Marcham advised the board that Dr. Ralph Low, Medical Exam-
iner, has submitted a letter of resignation as he is retiring. The com-
mittee is encouraging applications for the position. He said they are
moving ahead on the problem of a deficit at the hospital. The deadline
for the Phase II application to the state for construction at the hospital
has been moved to November 30. The matter of selection of an architect
for the hospital and the building recommendation are due within the
next month and a half. He reported there was an incident of dispute be-
tween a department head who reports to his committee, and the Per-
sonnel Department, regarding selection of a candidate for a position.
Mr. Murphy is investigating this matter.
Mr. Leary has received a request from Dr. deArmis, Jail Physician,
that he is unable to. continue. Dr. John Maines will be replacing him with
Dr. Kieffer as backup.
192 August 13, 1973
Mr. MacNeil, Social Services. said his committee discussed many items.
A resolution for the appointment of Commissioner of Social Services
will be presented later in the meeting. He said the conversion of AABD
Records has been done and he congratulated Mrs. Porter and her staff
for the fine job.
Mrs. Schickel reported as of August 1, construction is progressing with
67% general construction completed; electrical — 61%; plumbing —
85%; air-conditioning and ventilating and heating — 65%. She said sheet
metal workers have been off the job because of a strike so there has been
some delay in that area.

Services, he requested a temporary position be created. Mr. Leary said

both these buildings either at the September 10 meeting or a special
meeting.
Mr. Abbott, Personnel, said they met and discussed the fire dispatch-
ers' positions and a request for reclassifying them from grade three to
seven. The Municipal Service Division in Albany said the positions
should continue to be classified as fire dispatchers. Also, the American
Association of Industrial Management classified the job and said it
should remain in grade three. A representative from the American Asso-
ciation of Industrial Engineers met with John Miller, Fire and Disaster
Coordinator, and the Fire Advisory Board and Fire Dispatchers. He will
have a result in ten days and upon receiving the report, the committee

at Delhi. He said Frank Liguori, County Planning Commissioner, was
an outstanding speaker on water pollution control.
Mr. Marcham, Health Committee, said his committee met, and has
been involved otherwise, in negotiation regarding hospital construction
and operations. The hospital deficit for the current year was discussed
at an open meeting of the Board of Managers of the Hospital last
week. It has been decided to temporarily close the Transitional ,Care
Unit, increasing cafeteria prices, adjustments in the contract involving
ambulance, and changing rates for radiology and x-ray services. They
are still hoping to get the hospital's recommendation on the hospital
early next month. The committee will meet September 10 at 7:30 p.m.

Mental Health budget.
August 27, 1973 203
Mrs. Tolles asked if the emergency room at the hospital was covered
twenty-four hours a day. Mr. Arnold, Administrator of the hospital, said
there are four physicians and this is not enough to cover it for 24 hours,
365 days a year.
Mr. Leary, Public Safety and Corrections .Committee, said they dis-
cussed the fire dispatchers' request for reclassification and as Mr. Abbott
reported, they are awaiting a report from the American Association of
Industrial Engineers. He also said a letter was received from Sheriff
Howard relative to the Traffic Safety Board. The board was appointed
by Local Law in 1968. He requested the Board reorganize the committee
and that people be appointed who would have the time to attend the
meetings and devote more time to the organization. The County At-
torney was asked to determine if the Local Law could be changed to
cut down the number of people on the committee. Sheriff Howard feels
it is a worthwhile organization but the people serving on it don't have
the time to attend meetings.
It was rnoved by Mr. Marcham, seconded by Mr. Kerr, That resolu-

REGULAR MEETING
Monday, October 1, 1973
The Chairman called the meeting to order at 9:30 a.m.
Present: Representatives Tolles, Webster, Bruce, Culligan, Dates,
Golder, Graves, Holden, Kerr, Leary, Lee, MacNeil, Marcham, Miller,
and Schickel — 15.
Excused: Representative Abbott (arrived 10:00 a.m.) — 1.
Members and guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance to the
Flag.
At this time the chairman opened a public hearing regarding a pro-
posed local law providing for amendments to the Tompkins County
Charter and Code. The Clerk read the notice that was published in the
official, newspapers.
Marjorie Bird, speaking for the League of Women Voters of Tomp-
kins County, said the League is neither pro nor con on this proposal.
However, she said this is a major ,change in county government and
they ask that each representative make known to the public his/her
stand, either pro or con and what they roundly consider all the impli-
cations of the proposal and consult with the voters in their district.
Mr. Edward Lutz strongly favored the proposal for a County Ad-
ministrator. He said it is an unreasonable expectation that board
members be asked to do the dozens of everyday chores that go with
running the county business. He said they ought to be on the bridge
of the ship of county government, not down in the engine room shoveling
coal. They should represent the public which has chosen them, on
questions and matters of concern to the public.
Mr. Alvin Knepper spoke in favor of the change and said the adminis-
trator should be as non-political as possible.
Beverly Livesay said she felt this proposed change was not publicized
enough.
Clark Hamlin spoke in favor of the change and feels the position
should be appointed.
Gary Lee read a letter written to him from Mrs. Ruth DeWire. She
stated that some sort of executive officer is needed in Tompkins County
to lessen the administrative burden on members of the Board of Repre-
218 October 1, 1973
sentatives; however, she feels the time has come to separate the Finance
and Administration functions rather than continue to combine them
under one commissioner, even if that ,commissioner were to have an
assistant in charge of day-to-day fiscal matters.
Donald Culligan said he backs the principle but feels the position
should be an elected one instead of appointed.
John Marcham said he supports this local law but would like to see
some amendments pertaining to separating the Commissioner of Fin-
ance from the County Administrator. He also feels there is a need to
have a legal counsel available to the administrator.
Mr. Dates spoke favoring an elective position rather than the ap-
pointive position.
Mr. Lee felt three issues brought up in analyzing points and informa-
tion has been: Title; whether it should be appointive or elective; and
should it be separate from finance. He said a study was made of what
is being done in 13 counties and the proposal appears to be in line.
He mentioned they are leaving the County Attorney function as is but
may need more legal counsel. He said there was debate whether the
Clerk of the Board should stay or go to the County Administrator. It
was decided to leave it with the Board. He said, it was their conclusion
to leave asis the advocating of an independent audit. He also said the
question has been posed about the position being too powerful. He
said they have tried to incorporate all points and he feels the appointive
county administrator system is the safest. He said this is one of the
most significant votes this board will make and they have tried to bring
it . to the attention of everyone. He said it is his hope that the board
will support this proposal.
Mrs. Tolles felt it would be unwise to have the position elective. Mr.
Leary, Mr. Holden, and Mr. Webster all spoke in favor of the proposal.
The Chairman closed the hearing at 10:33 a.m.
Mr. Dates said he attended an outstanding convention held here in
Tompkins County for airport executives and commended Glenn Turner,
Tompkins County Airport Manager, for the excellent job he did as
Chairman of this Triple E Convention.
Mr. Holden mentioned he has attended a meeting of the NYS De-
partment of Environmental Conservation Department — District #3
FPA Board held September 27.
Qctober • 1, 1973 219
.Various 'committee chairmen reported, as follows:
Mr. Lee, Budget and Administration, said the tentative budget sched-
ule has been sent to board members.
Mr. Golder, Intergovernmental Relations, said if anyone has any other
charter changes, to let him know. He . said they are still reviewing
budgets.
Mr. Bruce, Planning and Public Works, reported the committee met
with the architect for the Old Court House. Hesaid they have been
working with groups regarding an Office for the Aging. The Senior
Citizens seem to be quite satisfied with the way they are operating
now. In connection with the proposed marina on Cayuga Lake, he
questioned whether the Sheriff's Department could handle the function
with their present staff and equipment.
Mr. Marcham noted the revised hospital decision schedule was on
their desks. The committee is meeting at 1:30 p.m. today to go over
budgets. There will be an opportunity for the Health Committee to
review the hospital deficit this week. He also said today is the deadline
regarding EDP at the hospital business office. He noted the committee
will consider the Challenge -ARC proposal today. There is a vacancy
on the Mental Health Board due to the resignation of Jane Cullings.
They will also hear a proposal on revenue sharing on hospital and
primary care units. The revenue sharing proposals are being handled
by the Budget and Administration Commissioner.
Mr. MacNeil, Social Services, noted his committee has met many
times since the new commissioner has started, particularly concerning
the budget. They met with the Day Care Council. He said the Child
Abuse Law which went into effect seems to be progressing smoothly.
It was Moved by Mr. Miller, seconded by Mr. Kerr, and Carried,
That resolutions pertaining to Authorization to Execute Contract —
Solid Waste; -Award of Bid — County Home and Public Hearing for
Local Law — Industrial Development Park, be added to the agenda,
and resolutions pertaining to the TC3 Audit of Capital Expenditures,
Transfers of Funds, Appropriation from Contingent Fund, be withdrawn.

Representatives Culligan, Dates — 2. Noes — Abbott, Bruce, ' Golder,
Holden, Kerr, Leary, Lee, MacNeil (a person to be elected has to spend
a considerable amount of time and money to get the job) , Marcham,

It was Moved by Mr. Marcham, seconded by Mr. Leary, to amend
the proposed change to create a Department of Finance separate from
the Department of Administration. Discussion followed and Mr. Mar-
cham was concerned that the county administrator should not be re-
quired to be "an accountant. Mr. Lee said that in the charter change as
proposed the county administrator could appoint a Director of Budget.
Mr. Bruce opposed that amendment preferring to leave this to subse-
quent boards. Mr. Marcham requested his following memo be printed
in the record to show in years ahead the "trails we have blazed".
MEMORANDUM
1. DO NOT REQUIRE THAT THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR
BE AN ACCOUNTANT.
Because the B&A function has been carried over lock, stock, and
quill pen into Local Law No. 5, no profession other than accounting
can qualify for the many fiscal duties that are tied to the re -titled
position. We may very well want an accountant as chief administra-
tor for now and many years to come, but not forever.
We may wish to draw, at other times, on administrators who have
shown their prowess in planning, or public works, or welfare, or
health, or fields we do not now consider major.
I would propose (again) that there be separate offices of County
Administrator (or commissioner of administration) and of Finance.
The administrator could also fill the Finance Commissioner job if we
had such a man; otherwise he would appoint (or continue) the in-
cumbent person. In any case, the new administrator will have to
create a deputy position to carry out this function, just to give him-
self enough time to really be an administrator. I detail below how
this could be done.
2. USE THE TITLE "COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR" RATHER
THAN "COMMISSIONER".
This can be accomplished, whether or not the board agrees to the
above proposal #1. It makes clear that the person in the job is not
just another . department head, slightly more equal than the other
commissioners, but the head man. It would also make references to
the person throughout the charter crisper, in that some sections
refer to the commissioner in charge of a department and his relation-
ship to the commissioner of administration.
224 October 1, 1973
3. MAKE THE COUNTY ATTORNEY A STAFF POSITION.
As the charter is now worded, and as we practice it, the attorney is
now more the Board's attorney than the county's. Yet an administra-
tor needs to be clearly able to call upon him for advice and drafting
help on all important matters he deals with. I propose the person be
appointed by the administrator, subject to Board approval, which
would assert the Board's key role in the selection, yet emphasize the
service function of the position.
4. SOME WORDING INCONSISTENCIES CROP UP AND WE'LL
NEED TO CATCH THEM.
These are detailed below:
SPECIFIC PROPOSALS
1) Department of Finance — The distinction here is that the ad-
ministrator would have the administrative, procurement, budget -
recommending, and capital budgeting responsibilities, but leave
the accounting, auditing, encumbering, and non -policy fiscal
duties in the hands of another department, of Finance.
If this idea is accepted by the Board, it may require so major a
redrawing of Local Law No. 5 as to send it back to the drafting
board. But in essence it can be carried out by removing from Local
Law No. 5, Article III, section 3.02 (b) and (d) (fiscal officer and
auditing and accounts officer section) , 3.03 .04 (assessment) , .06
(audit of claims) , .07 (bond commissioner) , 4.09 (c) (budget on
file) , 4.12 and .13 (keeping track of the budget once passed, en-
cumbrance) , 6.03 (certifying payroll) , 16.06 (receiving fees from
sheriff) , and 18.05 (fees from county clerk) .
These accounting, auditing, fiscal, treasurer duties would be
lodged in a Department of Finance, under a Commissioner of
Finance, that would be set up under a separate article (call it
IIIA for now) , and set up with a section 3A.01 similar to the
present 3.01 except for the title and to 3.02 except that it would
have the fiscal officer and auditing and accounts portions of
proposed 3.02 (b) and (d) . They are found now as 3.02 (a) and
(c) in our present charter.
The Administrator would appoint this person, so he would be
just like a deputy commissioner or administrator for finance.
We should also amend proposed Local Law No. 5 with a section
3.10 that would read something like: "The administrator may,
at the discretion of the Board of Representatives, also be the head
of another department of county government." This would allow
what may in fact, be the way we start out under the proposed
Local Law No. 5.
October 1, 1973 225
2) Title of Budget Administrator—There are many references in
the draft of Local Law No. 5 that we have that say "commissioner
of administration." I would propose simply that these all read
"county administrator." Where he has deputies within his depart-
ment, they would be "deputy administrator."
If #1 is approved, then there will be some places, in the sections
I listed above under #1, where the title "commissioner of finance"
would be appropriate, but that would have been covered by the
amendment that created a Department of Finance.
There are six references to "commissioner of administration" on
page 1 of the draft, two on page 2, one on page 3, thirteen on
page 4, eighteen on page 5, and seven on page 6. All could be
changed with one resolution or amendment by the Board in meet-
ing October 1.
3) County Attorney relationship. — The proposal here would be
amend the present charters' section 7.01 to read: "... Attorney,
who shall be appointed by the County Administrator, subject to
approval by the Board of Representatives, ..."
4) Wording inconsistencies
a) On page 2, "county administrator" and "administrator" ap-
pear (which fits my earlier proposal) , but in the interest of
consistency we should use all one wording or all the other
(commissioner or administrator) .
b) At the bottom of 2 and top of 3, I don't think the sentence,
"He shall have the authority to remove all officers and em-
ployees in the service of Tompkins County, subject to per-
tinent State Law," has any real meaning. It gives a false im-
pression. Civil Service law says the person who appoints has
the power to remove, and 99 per cent of the employes will
be appointed by subordinates to the administrator, or by
legally constituted boards (i.e., hospital) or their subordinates.
The spirit is great, but I think it's misleading to have such
a sentence here, and besides it will make the first such per-
son's job that much more resisted. He'll have his ways to get
at employes, as it is, with the powers we are giving ihm.
c) Similarly, I think his power to "appoint ... heads of all de-
partments" will also be found to be so circumvented as to be
misleading, but I could be persuaded otherwise. If the board
likes this, OK, but I think a more careful drafting would have
gone through and specified just which department heads were
specifically to be named by administrator, then had a catchall
to pick up others that state law, the charter, etc., didn't cover
and that we forgot or are created later.
226
October 1, 1973
d) On page 3, 30.2 (a) 6 is, I suppose, a catchall of sorts, but
I'd be glad to hear something specific that it might cover.
e)' On page 4, 3.02 (e) doesn't make sense. Do we mean: "A
deputy commissioner shall . . ."? If so, we should say so.
Otherwise we say, "The commissioner . . . as deputy com-
missioner of central services for the county, he shall . .."
f) While we're changing titles, we should do the same in 4.04,
which was omitted. And I think it should be under the ad-
ministrator, rather than the Department of Finance. The sub-
ject of 4.04 is capital budgeting.
If the Board agrees to a separate Department of Finance, then
4.12 (as well as .11 and .13) should be looked at more care-
fully. Clearly the administrator should have this power. He
may wish to share it fairly specifically with a commissioner of
finance. This has to do with budget over -runs and transfers.
h) While going through the present charter to create all the
above chaos, I was struck by p. 15, 3.02 (a) (6) and (7) and
wonder if I have missed the promised "complete statements
of county finances" and "statement of financial condition of
the county" that's required in these. We have been pretty
picky with some of our subordinate departments about doing
their jobs lately, and maybe we should abide by this, as well.
i) On the same note, page 24, first part of 4.06 (a) , seems to
give the job of preparing and submitting a budget to the Com-
missioner of Budget and Administration, rather than the
Budget and Administration Committee. Do we intend to move
in this direction in the future? Have we consciously not fol-
lowed this section of the charter, which was put in there
originally to endow the commissioner with some of the very
powers our proposed Local Law No. 5 encompasses.
I will be prepared to make motions during the formal board meeting
to accomplish the various changes, and test how the board as a whole
feels about each.

County Comprehensive Health Planning Council, said the Council
recommends that no further consideration be given to the Extendicare,

residents 60 and older and the number of people below poverty income
levels. On the basis of distribution formula, Tompkins County will re-
ceive $35,000.
Various committee chairmen reported as follows:
Mr. Lee, Budget and Administration, said they continue to review bud-
gets. There will be a joint meeting tomorrow with the Public Safety Com-
mittee to consider one particular budget. October 30 they will be meeting
with department heads and chairmen of committees, if necessary. The
Informational public meeting will be held November 8 at 7:30 p.m. and
238 October 15, 1973
the official public hearing will be held November 19 at 7:30 p.m. One
other important item was the Health Committee asked B&A to review the
hospital budget in the following light: The hospital budget for 1974
currently on their desks is a balanced budget. Balanced only if the price
exception is granted by the Cost of Living Council. If it is not granted,
the hospital budget will have to pay $270,000 deficit. The Health Com-
mittee and Budget and Administration Committee are on record that if
the Cost of Living Council does not grant this there will have to be a
cut in the hospital budget correspondingly. They are not going to sup-
port a deficit budget for 1974 at the hospital.
Mr. Culligan said this problem of deficit is nationwide. Because of
economy of the times people are not going to the hospital unless it is a
dire emergency. He mentioned the hospital has made close to two million
dollars over the last eight to nine years and has been in the Enterprise
Fund. Over one million dollars was taken out of that fund from profits
from the hospital that taxpayers didn't have to utilize when the Inten-
sive Care Unit was built and when H -Building was redone for the
Health and Mental Health Departments and the C -Wing was made into
a new facility. Mr. Graves also pointed out that the hospital lost over
one million dollars prior to eight or nine years ago.
Mr. Marcham spoke about the Proposition One regarding the Trans-
portation Bond Issue in relation to Route 96 and asked if anyone else
had more information on it so they would know the implications of a
yes or no vote.
Mr. Golder said the Intergovernmental Relations Committee met on
the 5th to discuss budgetary items and there will be a resolution later in
the meeting.
Mr. Bruce, Planning and Public Works, discussed items covered in
resolution with respect to bid openings for the Instrument Landing
System at the airport. The Planning Department has worked out the
scheduling for changes with respect to the Old Court House. It is avail-
able for inspection in the Planning Department. They are progressing
in the direction of getting preliminary plans and estimates for the Old
Court House renovations which will be brought to the Board before
they give the architects the go-ahead. The Committee was unhappy with
the original estimates for a 20 -year renovation of Building C which was
just under 1/4 of a million dollars. The Board has received a memo from
Richard Metzgar and they have come up with a reduced cost plan and
some things were eliminated. There is no longer a 20 -year life but the
immediate needs are taken care of. The Committee intends to make a
recommendation at the next meeting.
Mr. MacNeil, Social Services, said their budget is in. They will meet
with the Extension Services tomorrow.
October 15, 1973 239
Mr. Marcham, Health, said they have not received a budget request
from the Senior Citizens' Council yet. They are continuing the study
of the business office at the hospital and it is at staff level now with
Eugene Arnold and John Murphy working on it. They found funds
needed to carry this on in the hospital budget and are looking for a
report in December. He said the public meetings on the hospital ques-
tion are continuing. He also said the Health Planning Council is due
to make a recommendation on the hospital by next Tuesday's Health
Committee meeting and the committee will then make a recommendation
to the board.
Mr. Dates reported that he attended the NYSE&G Corporation in-
formational meeting and the power station will be known as Cayuga
Station instead of Bell Station.
Mrs. Schickel reported that construction is progressing at the Tomp-
kins -Cortland Community College.
RESOLUTION NO. 252 — Extendicare, Inc.
Mr. Abbott offered the following resolution and moved its adoption:
WHEREAS, it is hereby determined and declared that for the benefit of
the people of Tompkins County, New York (the "County") it is essential
that the people of the County and the surrounding area have access to ade-
quate medical care and hospital facilities, and
WHEREAS, the present hospital facilities in the County are inadequate for
the increased health care needs and hospital requirements of the County and
the surrounding area, and
WHEREAS, it is hereby determined that the location of a new general
hospital and ancillary health care facilities in such County is essential to the
residents of the County and the surrounding area, and
WHEREAS, some interested citizens of the County propose to organize a
not-for-profit charitable hospital corporation to be known as the "Tompkins
County Hospital Corporation" ("Corporation") under the laws of the State
of New York for the purposes of constructing and equipping a general hospital
and related health care facilities, and operating and maintaining the general
hospital and related health care facilities ("Hospital Facility") on a not-for-
profit basis for the purpose of providing adequate medical care and hospital
facilities to the County and the surrounding area, and
WHEREAS, the certificate of incorporation of the Corporation will pro-
vide that upon retirement of the indebtedness of the Corporation the Corpora-
tion will tender all right, title and interest of the Corporation in the Hospital
Facility to the County without consideration, and will further provide the
County with an option to purchase the Hospital Facility at any time for an
amount sufficient to retire all indebtedness of the Corporation, now therefore
be it
RESOLVED, by the Board of Representatives of the County, as follows:
Section 1. That the incorporation of the Tompkins County Hospital
Corporation and the construction of the Hospital Facility are hereby deter-
mined and declared to be for the benefit of the people of the County and the
surrounding area; that the form of the First, Mortgage Hospital Revenue
Bonds to be issued by the Corporation contain nothing objectionable to the
County or nothing which would impose any kind of obligation upon the County
(it being understood, however, that the foregoing is not intended to include
the Indenture of Mortgage and Deed of Trust to which reference will be
240 October 15, 1973
made in said form of First Mortgage Hospital Revenue Bonds) and the
County presently agrees to accept a gift of the Hospital Facility, free of any
liens or claims of any kind or nature whatsoever, at the time the Corporation
tenders it to the County,
Section 2. That the County enter into an agreement with the Tompkins
County Hospital Corporation whereby the Tompkins County Hospital
Corporation will agree, if the County so requires, to operate the Hospital
Facility on behalf of the County from and after the time the County accepts
a gift of the Hospital Facility.
Seconded by Mr. Miller. Mr. Marcham explained that no one on his
committee was prepared to support further advancement of the Extendi-
care proposal at this time based on the lack of information. Mr. Dean
Grout was told by his company that Extendicare is not prepared for an
investment of $70,000 required to answer all the questions and provide all
the information Tompkins County needs to make a decision without
having a clear indication of the county's intention.
Mr. Miller withdrew his second. Mr. Leary then seconded the resolu-
tion. A lengthy discussion took place.
It Was Moved by Mr. Holden, seconded by Mr. Dates that this resolu-
tion be tabled. Ayes — Representatives Abbott, Dates, Holden, Leary, Lee,
MacNeil, Miller, and Graves — 8. Noes — Bruce, Culligan, Golder, Kerr,
Marcham, Schickel, Tolles and Webster — 8. Motion to Table Lost.

RESOLVED, further, That this board shall proceed to consider the recom-
mendations of the Board of Managers of the Tompkins County Hospital.

October 15, 1973 241
RESOLUTION NO. 254 = Site Recommendation — Hospital
Mr. Marcham offered the following resolution and moved its adoption:
WHEREAS, the Planning and Public Works Committee has discussed the
site location of any new hospital facility to be built in Tompkins County, and
WHEREAS, the Planning Board and Planning Department of Tompkins
County have recommended that the proposed site for any new hospital be
lands presently occupied by the Tompkins County Hospital, now therefore
be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of a majority of the Planning and Public
Works and Health Committees, That this Board follow the recommendation
of the County Planning Board and Planning Department and approve as a
deferred site for any new hospital the lands presently owned and occupied
by said Tompkins County Hospital,
RESOLVED, further, That said recommendation is not to be construed that
the Planning and Public Works and Health Committees, the Planning Depart-
ment and Planning Board recommend a new hospital at this time,

of this resolution to the Administrator and Board of Managers of the Tomp-
kins County Hospital and to the Commissioner of Planning.

— 7. Noes — Webster, Bruce, Golder, Kerr, Leary, MacNeil, Marcham,
Tolles and Graves — 9. Motion to Table Lost.
Mr. Marcham said he would. have liked to see an eastside site because
it would make sense to have it in an area where you could add to existing
population center which would make a transportation system more viable,
but he now feels because of the amount invested in the buildings in the
health area, it makes more sense to locate at the present site.
Mrs. Schickel said if there were a new hospital it could be on the east
side or west side if there were an access route.
Mr. Dates said he does not support this resolution. He said even if the
representatives approved a new hospital they might vote against it be-
cause they might feel it would be located in the wrong place.
Mr. Holden said he feels the growth in the next 25 years is going to be
in the Lansing and Dryden areas. He feels more study should be done.
Mrs. Dewire said the County Planning Coalition had a statement
which said if Route 96 were to be constructed they would favor the
present site. If it were not, they would favor an eastern site.
Mr. Culligan withdrew his second to the resolution. Mr. Kerr then
seconded the resolution.
242 October 15, 1973
Frank Liguori, Planning Commissioner, said the Planning Board and
the Planning Department selected the criteria that seemed to be most ap-
propriate, including land use and environment, the accessibility of a site
over a road, availability of land, centrality and proximity to related
health facilities and the cost factor. Each criteria were weighed de-
pending on how important the Planning Board felt each item was. Each
of the four sites were investigated — 1) existing hospital, 2) one some-
where in the vicinity of Stewart Park representing the true center of
population and geographic area and 3) one, in vicinity of Cayuga Heights
Road and Route 13, 4) one at intersection of Route 13 and 366. The re-
sults showed a slight edge of the site at Cayuga Heights Road and Route
13 with existing access to the present hospital site. If Route 96 were to
be improved, the evaluation indicated strongly in favor of that site.
Mr. Kerr feels the hospital is in the right place. The County owns
land and they will use the area for health and related facilities according
to the agreement with the State of Nw York. He said he polled the
opinion of persons in various parts of the county and most people for
reasons of economy and for reasons of spending a dollar in the right
place, felt the present location should be considered very carefully before
they say it should be somewhere else. He supports this resolution.

Leary, Lee, MacNeil, Marcham, Miller, Tolles, Webster — 13. Arrived:

Members and guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance to the

The minutes of the October 15 meeting were approved.
The Clerk noted the' following correspondence had been received for
filing and/or referred to the proper committee for action:
Minutes of the Hospital Board of Managers for August 20, 29, 31 and
September 17; Social Services balances for September; report of inspec-
tion at Tompkins County Jail; minutes and report of the South Central
New York Resource Conservation and Development Project; letter from
ALPHA requesting recommended candidates for the position of execu-
tive vice-president; correspondence from the DeWitt Historical Society
acknowledging that they will prepare a permanent display of Tompkins
County History for the State Senate Committee on Insurance in the New
Legislative Office Building in Albany; copy of preliminary report of the
Southern Tier East — Regional Viability Study; minutes of Criminal
Justice Study Committee meeting for October 10.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Marcham brought the board up-to-
date on the status of the hospital question. His Health Committee met
and they feel there isn't enough information available to make a decision
today. He suggested having the meeting adjourned to November 7 at
7:30 p.m. He will present a resolution later in the meeting to assign
the Commissioner of Budget and Administration the responsibility for
preparing information for determining the impact on hospital charges
of a complete replacement of the present hospital and have it available
for the adjourned meeting.
Mr. Bruce said he would vote against anything until they have some
concrete evidence that the hospital Board of Managers has seriously con-
sidered any alternatives to complete replacement. He also questioned
the competency of the arrangment for governing the hospital.
Mr. Culligan mentioned that Cornell University and Ithaca College
were part of a new health center plan and it was thought maybe a
October 29, 1973 257
medical school annex from New York City would be brought here. They
went to Albany to seek financial aid and it turned out it was not what
was really wanted. He said in the last few years the Board of Managers,
Health Committee and this Board has studied every aspect of the hospital
situation.
Mrs. Tolles spoke about partial replacement and usage and feels there
is not sufficient information.
Mr. Kerr complimented the Board of Managers on their work. He
said there is not enough information to know if we need complete re-
placement. He said complete replacement for the most part can be
financed through user charges. He said indications are that it can be
done. He feels the committee's resolution this morning would get the
necessary information in a short time so a final decision can be made.
Mrs. Schickel asked about the possibility of changing ownership and
perhaps going to a private hospital. She didn't think they should have
to go out of the state to get hospital management.
Mr. Golder said he would support the committees resolution.
Various committee chairmen reported as follows:
Mr. Lee, Budget 8c Administration, said Phase I of the budget review
has been completed and if departments want their budgets reviewed
again, they can meet tomorrow evening at 7:30 p.m. The public informa-
tional meeting will be held November 8 at 7:30 p.m. and the official
public hearing on the budget will be held November 19 at 7:30 p.m.
Regarding revenue sharing, he said monies will first be assigned to
projects with existing programs and then would look at any outside
agencies the county contracts with and then any new requests outside
existing programs.
Mrs. Schickel said she attended a construction committee meeting at
the Tompkins -Cortland Community College with the Dormitory Au-
thority. She also said furnishings for the college were going to be bid.

reported the tax rates will be established after the public hearing on

ment Rolls and Equalization Rates. He said Mr. Payne, Assessment
November 12, 1973 265
Director, has reported the re -appraisal efforts are moving ahead on
schedule. They are in the Town of Caroline hopefully getting to Dry-
den, Groton and Lansing in 1974 and still hope to meet the target of
1975 for complete re -appraisal in the upgrading of assessment values and
also hope they will have some bearing on the total tax rates at that
point. He also mentioned that Mr. Payne may be suggesting the county
go to 100 percent of assessed valuation at the next opportunity next
year rather than combined 80 and 90 per cent situation we currently
have. Regarding the sewer lines which this board authorized last year
to be sold back to the Town of Lansing (The Cornell -Lansing Sewer
Lines of 1955, 1956) , there will be a tax rebate to the county for ap-
proximately $800. He also said if anyone wishes to attend an off-track
betting seminar in New York City on December 6-7 to explore the pos-
sibility of increasing revenues for the county, let him know.
Mr. Culligan, brought up the question of the assessment of mobile
home parks and mobile homes. He feels this area is being neglected and
should be looked into as it is a growing area.
Mr. Golder, Intergovernmental Relations Committee, said the com-
mittee met and discussed positions at the Community College and also
talked with the construction committee about progress and change
orders. There will be a written report between now and the end of the
year. He said DeWitt Historical Society has submitted their budget and
they will be reviewing it.
Mr. Bruce, Planning and Public Works Committee, reported the work
on the Instrument Landing System at the Airport is progressing. The
architects are at a point of beginning to develop things that will be
needed in terms of renovation of the Old Court House. Regarding Board-
man House, they do have two proposals and the committee will meet
November 19.
Mr. Marcham, Health Committee, said the County Attorney has given
an opinion that a referendum on the hospital is not legal. He also out-
lined the choices worked out for a hospital decision. He plans to bring
up one or more resolutions for a decision on the 19th of November. He
will present a resolution at today's meeting for a Hospital Construc-
tion Committee to be formed to oversee work to be performed at the
hospital.
Mr. MacNeil, Social Services Committee, said they have been reviewing
raw food costs at the County Home and there should be a report on raw
food costs of county -owned versus other institutions within our com-
munity. He also reported that Robert Wagner, Social Services Commis-
sioner, has been working since September 5. It looks as if the department
will stay within their budget. Mr. 'Wagner has made some changes so it
will be more beneficial to the recipient and he feels will be able to
266 November 12, 1973
handle greater number of caseloads per worker. Some of the staff is at-
tending a training program at TC3; conversion of AABD cases for social
security are proceeding and should be implemented on January 1. They
have a caseworker with a volunteer assisting, visiting the County Home.
The Children's Division has instituted a protective unit available 24
hours per day to investigate all complaints involving child abuse in
Tompkins County. Mr. Wagner has instigated a training program for
PA Service Workers so they will coordinate their activities with some
other social agencies in the community such as Planned Parenthood,
Family and Children's Service, Challenge Industries, Salvation Army,
etc. He explained the AABD Conversion to the Board. He also reported
they have been studying space allotment and at the next meeting he will
bring in a proposal for renting space on the fourth floor of the. Mont-
gomery Ward Building.
Mr. Graves mentioned that Hugh Hurlbut, Personnel Commissioner,
is attending an Internship Program under sponsorship of the Labor
Management Relations Services in New York City.
Mrs. Schickel reported that general construction of TC3 is 79% com-
pleted or stored, electrical 73%, plumbing 93%, heating, ventilating and
airconditioning 79%. The Dormitory Authority is putting furnishings
out to bid this week.
Mr. Dates, Chairman of the Tompkins County Industrial Develop-
ment Agency, gave the following report:
The Morse Chain Division of Borg-Warner Corporation submitted an
application for revenue bond financing to the Tompkins County In-
dustrial Development Agency on March 14, 1973. The revenue bond
financing was intended to provide for land purchase, plant construc-
tion, machinery and pollution control both at the Warren Road site and
at the Ithaca plant.
At this time all the legal work has been done to permit the issue of
one million dollars of bonds for the Warren Road Project and one
million dollars of bonds for the Ithaca Project. In both instances the
proceeds of the bonds will be used to purchase productive equipment.
At a later date separate issues of bonds totaling four and one-half mil-
lion dollars will be used to purchase pollution control equipment to be
used at the Lansing Project and the Ithaca Project.
The Warren Road Project is progressing toward the start of building.
The site has been drained, cleared and the preliminary site work is
about finished. Only those trees on the plant site and the parking area
have been removed. The finished plant will serve to broaden the tax
base as well as furnish additional employment for our area.
November 12, 1973 267
On June 18, 1973 the Agency received an application for revenue bond
financing from Rothschild Brothers, Inc. The purpose of the two and
one-half million dollar bond issue is to provide for the permanent
financing of the new Rothschild Store to be located in the Urban Re-
newal area known as the "Hotel Block". The bonds and mortgage when
issued will be purchased by six participating banks:
The Savings Bank of Tompkins County which arranged the participa-
tion.
First City National Bank of Binghamton, New York
First National Bank and Trust Company of Ithaca
Ithaca Savings and Loan Association
Marine Midland Bank — Southern, Ithaca, New York
Tompkins County Trust Company
Rothschild Brothers, Inc. has arranged interim financing during the
period of construction and will, use the bond issue for permanent
financing sometime late in 1974.
The Tompkins County Industrial Development Agency has deter-
mined through legal counsel, as it had done previously with the Morse
Chain Projects, that it has the legal capacity to act on this application.
It has further determined that the project fills a critical local need and
in every respect fills the requirement of public purpose. The project
will be subject to real estate taxes and any other taxes now or hereafter
authorized by the taxing authorities and also all special benefit assess-
ment charges (sewer, water, etc.) . It has been determined that employ-
ment will be increased when the project has been completed and in
operation.
In accepting applications from Morse Chain and Rothschild Brothers,
the Tompkins County Industrial Development Agency is fulfilling the
purpose for which it was created by Special Act of the New York State
Legislature and recorded in Chapter 535 of the Laws of 1971.
It was Moved by Mr. Kerr, seconded by Mr. Miller, That resolutions
pertaining to Audit of Capital Construction Account-TC3, Transfer of
Funds — various accounts, Creation of Position — County Court, reclassi-
fication Typist — Fire and Disaster Coordinator's Office, Amendment

official newspapers.
The Chairman introduced those board members present and John
Murphy, Commissioner of Budget and Administration, who presented
the budget to approximately 25 persons.
Mrs. Ruth Pettengil, Chairman of the Social Planning Council Reve-
nue Sharing Committee, said they have been meeting trying to establish
what programs will be cut or are being cut, that they might present to
the Board as needs for local revenue sharing money. She also wondered
if the board might consider holding a public hearing. Perhaps input from
the public might be of interest to them. She said the Groton Day Care

over the amount of the grant. They have written a letter asking to be
considered for revenue sharing monies.

Mailgram from Governor Rockefeller ordering the immediate reduc-
tion of legal speed limits on all state highways and parkways to 50 miles
per hour for all types of vehicles; guidelines received from Commissioner
of Health Dr. Gaffney to conserve automobile fuel; notice of appoint-
ment of Town Clerks of Groton, Dryden, Newfield, and Trumansburg
as subregistrars of Vital Statistics; executed copy of Cooperative Exten-
tion 1974 program contract; minutes of Tompkins County Comprehen-
sive Health Planning Council for October 23 and November 20, state-
ment of Council on hospital decision; notice of labor law inspection
findings at TC3 construction site; minutes of TC3 Board of Trustees for
October 15 and resolution concerning Master Charge proposal, report of
the committee to determine future use of Groton campus, and weekly
construction report; resolution from Cortland County re audit of TC3
capital expenditures; minutes of Planning and Public Works committee
meeting of November 6; minutes of Southern Tier East Regional Plan-
ning and Development Board meeting of October 18; minutes of execu-
tive board of South Central New York Resource Conservation and De-
velopment Board; 1973 Financial report of the Board of Elections and

County.
Under privilege of the floor, Mrs. Frances Ellett, Senior Social Welfare
Worker in charge of Medicaid, spoke on salary reevaluation of positions
conducted by the American Association of Industrial Management. She
said the turnover rate in the examiner series hovers close to 90 per cent
for the years 1972-1974. This high rate is due for the most part to the
low salary. They asked for increases for Social Welfare Examiner, Senior
Social Welfare Examiner, Principle Social Welfare Examiner. They feel
the requests are reasonable and find the AAIM proposals to be fully in-
adequate.
November 26, 1973 331
Mr. Ernest F. Roberts spoke regarding Boardman House. He feels the
Ithaca Landmarks Preservation Commission should only grant demoli-
tion permit if every possible alternative to demolition has been ex-
hausted.
Pauline Darret again spoke to the board regarding the New York
State Division of Human Rights.
David Smith spoke on the hospital issue and voter preference survey
sponsored by the Ithaca Journal. He feels it indicates the resolution
adopted is an acceptableone to the Tompkins County voters whereas
the 15.2 million dollar proposal is not. Mr. Donald O'Connor repre-
senting the Machinists Union, feels the taxpayers cannot afford a 15.2
million dollar proposal. It is his opinion there is some middle ground --
start
start a core operation. They feel 7 or 8 million dollars can bring the
hospital back to a facility of which the people in Tompkins County can
be proud.
Mr. Place from Groton spoke about the Day Care Program in Groton.
He asked the board to consider a request to enable them to serve the
needs of the children seeking day care for the kind of preschool educa-
tion to allow them to be better citizens for the future.
Various committee chairmen reported as follows:
Mr. Lee, Budget and Administration, in response to Rev. Place, said
he talked with Barbara Clark and a request. was made to Audit and Con-
trol Department to find out whether it is a project that revenue sharing
monies can be invested in. Also, Senator Smith and Congressman Robi-
son are interested in helping and it is hopeful the center will get their
supplemental grant. He also reported regarding Mr. Culligan's inquiry
pertinent to Mobile Home Assessment procedures. He has received a re-
port from Thomas Payne and it is available for anyone interested.
Mr. Marcham reported the committee met and they will have a resolu-
tion • later in the meeting on the Nutrition Program for the Aged. He
commended Harry Kerr and Arthur Golder for all the hours devoted to
the hospital issue.
At this time Chairman Graves made the following statement:
As an aftermath of last Monday's vote on the hospital, I was very
much disturbed by the reaction of a few who should know better. There-
fore, I have a few remarks I would like to address to the disgruntled
'members of the Board of Managers, the hospital administration, the
Health Planning Council and the doctors. .
• Thank you very much for the unnecessary venom you have spouted
for the past week, in my book' if you were one half as dedicated to the
332 November 26, 1973
health of the community as your predecessors were instead of the al-
mighty dollar you accuse this board of worshiping, there would be no
problem.
You have been given your way for the past 20 years, nothing has been
denied you, the so-called medical profession. The result is that now you
act like "Prima Donnas."
It is a known fact if any man is not satisfied with where he lives or
earns his living, he is free to pack up and leave. Your profession is no
different, if you can't make the buck here you will move on.
I have yet to talk to one wage earner (no one with a $25,000 year
income) outside the medical profession who favors replacing our hospi-
tal. I have polled hundreds of people, even gone so far as to stand out-
side the hospital entrance in search of the answer.
As for the Board of Managers and the administrator, you lost your right
to criticize anyone with your track record of operating the hospital in
1973. (Complete mess)
To the Health Planning Council, your contribution to the county
should be to disband, all you have done is to create confusion with your
dreams.
Your threats and attempted strong-arm methods used on members of
this board and other members of the medical profession make me want
to vomit.
There is an old chestnut that goes, "put your money where your
mouth is." This is the solution to your Utopia.
The 45 who are demanding a new hospital must all be in the $100,000
dollar -a -year bracket. Let thein underwrite the 15 million dollars. With
that kind of income any bank would grab the deal. This would really
back up your concern for the people's health.
Nine years ago four members of this board showed you experts how
to operate a hospital, today I wish we had the time and ambition to
shove it into you again, then we took the same type of abuse from the
same self-centered people.
To me you so-called saviors of mankind are nothing but a joke.
Chairman Graves read 'a statement regarding Resolution No. 303
adopted November 19, 1973 — procedure of implementation:
1. Appointments will be made to the Hospital Construction Commit-
tee created by previous resolution of this Board. The first duty of that
November 26, 1973 333
committee will be to make recommendations to this Board for the selec-
tion of an architect or architects. The committee will thereafter work
with the hospital medical staff, employees and administration in assisting
the architect in the first phase of this work.
2. An architect or architects will be employed by the county to prepare
preliminary schematic drawings and detailed cost estimates for a pro-
gram of modernization which will:
a. Provide for the construction of a new "core", containing operating
rooms, acute care facilities, laboratory and radiology departments,
and
b. Make maximum responsible use of the existing hospital building
for patient care, administrative and service functions.
3. The guideline of three million dollars set forth in the November 19
resolution applied only to the new structure to be designed, not to the
cost of modernization of the existing facility. That figure was specified
as "construction cost" only and does not include professional fees, ad-
ministrative costs and such new equipment as may be required for that
"core".
4. It is intended that the program of modernization to be undertaken
will bring the core facilities and patient areas of the hospital in line
with current acceptable medical and nursing requirements and that such
construction and re -construction be designed with a flexibility permitting
both future expansion and alterations which may be necessitated by
changes in medical technology.
It is also intended that the construction committee and the architect
or architects selected develop their recommendations and plans as ex-
peditiously as possible in order that this project may move ahead.
It was Moved by Mr. Lee, seconded by Mr. Holden, That the Equaliza-
tion Rates and Regular and Supplemental Reports of Footings of As-
sessment Rolls, be lifted from the Table. Carried.
Mr. Bruce, Planning and Public Works Committee, reported regarding
the Boardman House. He said time has been extended several times to
allow interested parties to make any proposals for lease or sale of the
building. During that time they have considered a number of proposals.
However, the committee regretfully rejects all the proposals because no
offer has been developed even approaching the criteria accepted by the
Board and the committee recommends that the building be demolished.
Mrs. Schickel will be presenting a resolution later which the committee
does not recommend: The committee will be presenting their resolution
later.
334 November 26, 1973
RESOLUTION NO. 308 — Boardman House
Mrs. Schickel offered the following resolution and moved its adoption:
WHEREAS, the Boardman House is badly in need of repair and de-

and nothing to lose by selling the building to the McHugh -Flight group for
$1.00 and a 10 per cent share of the gross rents for the life of the building,
not to exceed $2400 per year on the condition the group put this building into
good condition within a reasonable period of time and use it for the purposes
stated in their proposal, with the stipulation that the building and improve-
ment will revert to the county in the event of failure to carry out the terms
of the agreement and that the land will revert to the County if the building is
ever torn down and authorize the Chairman of the Board to negotiate an
agreement on behalf of the board in this resolution.
Seconded by Mr. Bruce. Matthew McHugh spoke to the board. He has

Present: Representatives Bruce, Culligan, Dates, Golder, Holden, Kerr,

The Clerk noted the following correspondence had been received for
filing and/or referred to the proper committee for action:
City of Ithaca vs. County of Tompkins order to show cause on the 13th
day of December on why an order should not be made restraining and
enjoining the County from demolishing the Boardman House; third
quarter 1973 report from the Commissioner of Budget and Administra-
tion showing appropriations, expenditures and balances of the various
accounts; agreement between Tompkins County and the Department of
Environmental Conservation for the purchase of landfill equipment;
agreement between Tompkins County and the Department of Transpor-
tation for snow and ice control; weekly construction reports from TC3
for November 15-20; pistol permits for the month of November totalled
$102.00; letter from Virginia Stephen in favor of the county building
a new hospital; resignation of Arthur N. Cleaveland from the Hospital
Board of Managers; notice that the New York State Office for the Aging
has- been designated as the administrative agency responsible for imple-
mentation of the National Nutrition Program for the Elderly; minutes

Tier East Regional Planning and Development Board meeting and re-
view of November 15; minutes of TC3 Board of Trustees for November
8; minutes of County Sewer Agency meeting of November 14; minutes of
County Planning Board meeting of November 7.
The minutes of November 12 and November 19 a.m., were approved.
Mr. Marcham objected to the method in which the official newspapers
of the county are chosen. Mr. Williamson, County Attorney, said the
members of the County Legislature, representing each of the two prin-
cipal political parties, designate the newspapers. The Clerk was instructed
to notify the newspapers requesting them to make a representation to the
board.
December 10, 1973 363
The Chairman appointed John Miller as the Local Energy Informa-
tion Coordinator, with Clair Updike.
Under privilege of the floor, Douglas Brown spoke to the board. He
requested a committee be established to look into the question of hospital
governance. He hopes it could be done through a parallel study and not
confuse the question of the building program.
Beverly Livesay, Representative Elect, questioned that since the Coun-
ty Administrator is to serve at the pleasure and carry out board policy,
should this board appoint an administrator.
Mr. Marcham said he has received at least one letter from a citizen
indicating the board should have reacted to James Graves' remarks con-
cerning the hospital issue. He said there is a time when certain questions
are discussed and a time when it doesn't seem wise to speak out and his
failure to speak in no way represents either endorsement or disagreement.
He also said he has received letters re the hospital, is acknowledging them
and will turn them over to the new committee.
Various committee chairmen reported as follows:
Mr. Abbott, Personnel, said the two resolutions that are on the table
will not be presented today. There is another committee meeting sched-
uled.
Mr. Bruce, Planning and Public Works, said the committee met and he
reported some of the stucco on the Old. Court House was removed by the
architect to determine the condition of walls. There is a possibility this
will call for revision in plan and asked Mr. Downey to present alterna-
tive plans. The DeWitt Historical Society is advertising for bids on their
moving to the Clinton House. The committee recommends the offices
which will be vacated when Judge Simpson retires, on the second floor
of the Court House, to be used temporarily to accommodate expansion
associated with the establishment of a county administrator. They inter-
viewed engineer with respect to Loop Road, Access road, etc. around the
east side of the Town and will have a resolution later. They asked Glenn
Turner, Airport Manager, to go ahead with Howard Stevenson to de-
velop figures necessary for required fire protection at the airport. The
committee decided not to take a position in the form of a resolution in
respect to the Triphammer Route 13 Interchange.
Mr. Kerr said he and Frank Liguori attended a flood plain zoning,
flood insurance hearing at Corning. He said there will be an Environ-
mental Management Council meeting Thursday and a person from the
N.Y.S. Environmental Management Council will be there to discuss the
problem as it relates to Tompkins County and further explain their
proposed legislation.
364 December 10, 1973
Mr. Bruce said relative to the injunction to show cause as to why the
County should not go before Ithaca Landmarks Commission in regard
to demolition of Boardman House, the County Attorney is looking into
various courses of action, such as 1) contest it or 2) request an adjourn-
ment. He requested a recess to hear the County Attorney's report. If the
committee decides what course of action, they will bring a resolution in
supporting their recommendation.
Mr. Marcham, Health Committee, said they are proposing a regular
procedure for the review of health policy questions. Procedures and by
laws that would relate to the health planning area will be brought to the
next board. Relative to the hospital, he said it was 'unclear to whom the
hospital construction committee reports. Mr. Graves said as they were
appointed by the Board, they would report to the board. He said a letter
was received from Extendicare outlining their present position. Also,
there was an expression of interest from another proprietary group, AID,
Inc. These will be filed for the next committee. He raised question of the
wording of clarification of Resolution No. 303, the phrase acute care
facility is indicated in Section dealing with $3 million. It seems to him
something other than acute care was intended. Mr. Stevenson said the
Construction Committee had discussed this and they interpreted it as a
recovery area to go along with the operating room. He will be nominating
people to fill vacancies on the Hospital Board of Managers, Mental
Health Board and the Board of Health, at the next meeting. He will
also be nominating someone to succeed Dr. Low as Medical Examiner.
Mr. MacNeil, Social Services, reported they are in the process of finish-
ing the lease for the additional space for the Social Services Department
and there have been inquiries regarding an escalating clause as far as rent
is concerned and he said there isn't one. FIe said a study was done on the
cost of food at the County Farm for raw food costs vs. processed or cooked
costs and the present cost of meals is $1.78 per day. The income from the
sale of surplus produce that is raised on the farm, the anticipated revenue
in 1973 is $15,000 and has been increasing each year. Deducting revenue
from the $1.78 per day, the cost is currently $1.32 per day. They are
recommending to maintain the operation as a status quo.
Mrs. Schickel said the TC3 Construction Committee met December 6.
She stated the general construction is 86%, electrical 77%, plumbing
95%, heating, ventilating and air conditioning is 81 %. The power is to
be turned on shortly. She said there will be a prcvue Saturday, December
15. She read a resolution of appreciation from the TC3 Board of Trustees
expressing their gratitude to the sponsoring Boards of Cortland and
Tompkins County for the faithful efforts and support given the college.

Mr. Dates reported he attended a meeting December 5 regarding the
Industrial Development Agency with bond attorneys and they have the
Morse Chain project underway. Also, he attended a meeting in Bingham-
ton regarding railroads and on December 7 attended a NYSE&G meeting.

ANNUAL REPORT — 1972-73
COOPERATIVE EXTENSION ASSOCIATION
OF TOMPKINS COUNTY
HIGHLIGHTS
The complete Annual Narrative report is on file at the Cooperative
Extension Office, 225 South Fulton Street, Ithaca.
—A farm business management program which included record keeping,
business analysis, tax reporting, farm partnership arrangements, labor
management and regulations, estate planning and information on out-
look and marketing was conducted for commercial farmers in the
county.
— The Aides in the Expanded Nutrition Educational Program worked
with low income families to bring about positive changes in nutrition,
wise food stamp buying, budgeting and family decision making and
problem solving.
— The housing program for the elderly shifted its focus from helping in-
dividuals with their decision to move, to influencing the design of
housing for the elderly. Information on construction, housing funding
and characteristics of the elderly were studied and a position state-
ment was presented to decision makers.
— The 4-H Dress Revue program involved over 350 youth with over 250
younger 4-H members being evaluated by 30 teens who were trained to
provide help and support to younger 4-H'ers. More than 600 attended
the annual dress revue.
— By relating information on growing degree days, planting dates and the
importance of day length to local corn yield data, farmers were en-
couraged to plant earlier maturing hybrids. Reports fom local seed
salesmen indicate farmers are moving to the earlier maturing corn
varieties.
— Information on lake problems and particularly those relating to Cayuga
Lake was presented to over 250 local leaders in the form of a series of
five bulletins. The working draft of the Cayuga Basin Board's proposed
water management plan was also distributed to these leaders and an
opportunity provided for them to comment on this plan.
Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 507
— ENEP Aides taught nutrition at county well baby clinics and at Mea-
dow House. More than 500 persons attended a Christmas Wonderland
which consisted of 14 exhibits on Christmas foods and low cost presents.
- In preparation for the Nutrition Program for the Elderly, a study was
made of the elderly's nutrition needs and the advisability of establish-
ing a program in the county to promote better nutrition among the
elderly. This study indicated that there is a need for a program of this
type.
— A cooperative effort between Cooperative Extension, the Day Care and
Child Development Council, Family Day Care Mothers and the De-
partment of Social Services, provided a series of enrichment sessions
for approximately 100 child caretakers.
— A day camp program was conducted over a five week period providing
around 200 boys and girls with experiences in first aid, outdoor cook-
ing, woodworking, crafts, horticulture, conservation and responsibility.
This program received a high rating from both the children and their
parents.
— Three Agricultural Districts were formed in the county, comprising
27,000 acres. Farms within these Districts produce an estimated 8.2
million dollars worth of agricultural products and generate employment
for over 700 persons in additon to the nearly 200 employed on these
farms.
— Special nutrition oriented day camps were held in 23 sites around the
county reaching approximately 800 youth.
— The 4-H livestock program had an increase in the number of partici-
pants. Some 30 head of beef, sheep and swine were sold at the 4-H Acres
Youth Fair Meat Animal Show and Sale, grossing $4700 for the owners
of these 4-H project animals.

ANNUAL REPORT
TOMPKINS COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT
Submitted by Frank R. Liguori, PE, Planning Commissioner
Planning is essentially a process to assist and improve decision making.
The County Planning Department tries to fulfill this role by the follow-
ing broad activities.
— Preparation of an areawide comprehensive plan as a proper frame
of reference for decision making at all levels of government in the County
and relate this plan to regional and State concerns.
— Provide technical service and project planning for County govern-
ment.
— Provide technical service in planning and zoning matters for local
government, at their request.
— Serve as a resource and information center for planning activities in
the County and region.
— Assist in the coordination, integration and correlation of planning
activities in the County.
The Planning Department operated with a full staff complement dur-
ing the year effectively utilizing specialized talent, often on a part-time
basis, to accomplish special tasks.
In the interest of brevity, the major activities of the Planning Depart-
ment are listed below in excerpt form.
Comprehensive Planning Program
Activities in the development of an areawide comprehensive plan con-
tinued with financial assistance from the US Department of Housing and
Urban Development and the State Office of Planning Coordination in
the amount of $20,000 for the fiscal year. Since all of the County planning
activities in the preparation of the plan are done "in house" without
the need for contractual consulting service, the State and federal grant
in effect reduces the County Planning Department's budget by that
amount.
Functional area studies are underway in land use, housing, community
facilities, transportation and communications, environmental conserva-
Proceedings of the. Board of Representatives 509
tion, human resources, and economic development. The reports on these
activities will be published early in 1974.
An important feature of the general plan will be a "policies document"
which will relate the goals that the people of the County wish to strive
to achieve and the objectives which will hopefully be accomplished, in
time, toward achieving the goals. It will also serve as a County develop-
ment policy. The policies plan is very preliminary at this time. The Coun-
ty Planning Board is playing a leading role in helping to draft the plan.
Public and governmental input is essential if it is to gain some sort of
County -wide concensus.
County Planning Board
The reorganized concept of the County Planning Board as a "Coali-
tion" with representation by each municipality and the major organiza-
tions and agencies active in functional planning seems to be working
quite well. The Planning Board reviewed the organization early in the
year and agreed that it should be continued. It is quite likely that the
Planning Board will soon recommend that the County Charter be amend-
ed to reflect the "Coalition" concept. The Board was expanded during
the year to add a member to represent industry and a member to repre-
sent Tompkins -Cortland Community College.
The Planning Board prepared special reports dealing with the matter
of the proposed Bell Station power -generating station on Cayuga Lake,
a rationale for the siting of the hospital, Route 13 and Route 96 corridor
proposal, and Route 13 -Triphammer Road intersection. The Planning
Board is actively studying the concept of an Office for the Aging in the
County and will soon make a recommendation in relation to that to the
Board of Representatives. In addition, the Planning Board has an active
committee dealing with a concept of a County recreation commission
and a landmarks preservation program at the County level. Reports on
these special projects will be submitted to the Board of Representatives
in 1974.
Southern Tier East Regional Planning and Development Board and the
Appalachian Development Board
Tompkins County continues to be an active member of the Southern
Tier East Regional Planning and Development Board. The County was
represented by Robert Bruce, Ruth Pettengill, and Frank Liguori. The
Chairman of the Board of Representatives is also a member.
The activities of the Regional Board and the modest staff are primarily
oriented toward the development of an annual work program which
helps to identify and establish priorities for the funding of special projects
by the Appalachian Regional Commission. Tompkins County has done
510 Tompkins County, New York
quite well in receiving favorable consideration for Appalachian grants
on several projects including Tompkins -Cortland Community College,
the Cayuga Heights waste water treatment plant, Challenge Industries,
child development programs, the proposed primary care centers, water,
sewer, access road, and fire safety pond at the industrial park, and others.
The main thrust of the regional program is in the assistance in Ap-
palachian funding, assistance in economic development, local planning
assistance for those counties without local staff potential and support,
and coordinating planning activities involving interactions between
counties.
During the year a regional viability study was completed under the
auspices of the Regional Board supported by State and federal funds.
The study was aimed at obtaining a better understanding of the inter-
action between the counties involved, which include Tompkins, Cortland,
Chenango,Delaware, Otsego, Broome and Tioga, with Cortland and
Schoharie Counties added because of their designation as Appalachian
counties. As a result of this study, there may be some restructuring of the
Regional Planning Board and organization.
Local Planning Assistance
The Planning Department continued to provide local planning as-
sistance to local municipalities at their request. Under the provisions of
Section 239 of the General Municipal Law, the Planning Department re-
viewed 19 official referrals for proposed zoning changes or developments
which were within the designated area of possible impact with other
municipalities or County and State facilities. Appropriate recommenda-
tions were made. In addition, several informal requests were received for
review and comments. The department also assists local governments
in their review of special projects.
There is wide opportunity to perform a useful service in assisting
municipalities in their planning and zoning activities. Due to a con-
tinued backlog of other projects involving County government activities
and the preparation of the general plan, only modest resources have
been diverted in the direction of local planning assistance. In the future,
this responsibility will and should occupy more of the resources of the
Department.
In order to assist local municipalities in obtaining a better under-
standing of flood hazards and to assist them in making application to
the federal government for a flood insurance program, the Planning De-
partment sponsored a County -wide Flood Plain Management Study
through a special federal and State grant. Local government officials
were invited to several meetings during the year to discuss progress and
provide input on the study. The final report will be released early in
Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 511
1974. The report includes a recommended flood plain ordinance which
may be adopted by local governments and provides an initial identifica-
tion of the 100 -year flood zone within each municipality.
Special Project Planning
The Planning Department continued to assist the Board of Representa-
tives and County departments in initiating and carrying our special
project plans. These include the following:
The Department continued its planning activities to assist the Plan-
ning and Public Works Committee in relation to proposals to provide
increased office space for County government functions. A space program
for the efficient use of the Old Court House and Building C were de-
veloped to provide a base for architectural design. Planning for the pre-
servation of the Old Court House has proceeded through the architec-
tural design development phase. Architectural design on Building C im-
provements has progressed through the construction document phase. In
addition, a program has been developed for more efficient use of the space
in the new Court House. The ultimate disposition of the Boardman
House has not yet been resolved. The Ithaca City Landmarks Preservation
Commission has instituted an injunction to stop demolition of the build-
ing pending clarification of their jurisdiction in the matter. It is quite
likely that the Boardman House issue will be settled in 1974.
The Planning Department continued to assist the Airport in the pack-
aging of proposals for federal, State and Appalachian Regional Com-
mission funding for the control tower, the instrument landing system, and
the removal and relocation of the WHCU radio tower. The control
tower is now completed and is in operation. The instrument landing
system will be completed and in operation by the middle of 1974. Re-
moval and relocation of the WHCU radio tower will also be completed
next year.
The Planning Department continued to assist the Industrial Develop-
ment Agency in the development of an industrial park site on Warren
Road in the vicinity of the Airport. Applications for funding assistance
to the Appalachian Regional Commission and the Farmers Home Ad-
ministration for the extension of public water and sewer and the con-
struction of a fire safety pond have been submitted and are awaiting
approval. The Department also prepared plans for a major drainage
structure and this work was completed in 1973. In addition, the Depart-
ment developed a conceptual plan for improved access to the industrial
site by the improvement of Warren Road, in cooperation with the County
Public Works Department and New York State DOT. The State and the
Appalachian Regional Commission have agreed to fund the project up
to a half a million dollars, provided that the County purchases all neces-
sary rights-of-way and provides the engineering plans.
512 Tompkins County, New York
The Department assisted the Airport Manager in the packaging of a
proposal for a (20 -year) master plan study of the Airport under federal,
State and Appalachian Regional Commission funding with modest local
funding. The master plan will be completed early in 1974.
The Planning Department and the County Planning Board completed
a site evaluation study for the hospital, including a rationale for arriving
at decisions. The report and study were prepared at the request of the
Hospital Board of Managers.
The Department assisted in the review and comment on the Route 13
corridor proposal between Ithaca and Cortland, and assisted in clarifica-
tion of the problems in relation to the reconstruction of the intersection
at Route 13 and Triphammer Road. The Department also reviewed and
commented on the proposal for the improvements to the Octopus, in-
cluding the new Route 96 corridor from downtown Ithaca to the vicinity
of the hospital. This project has a high State DOT priority and is slated
for construction start in 1977. Although the Route 13 corridor is not
slated for early construction, there will continue to be considerable
activity, particularly through a special task group which will be working
on the proposal with State DOT and with Cortland County.
A third Agricultural District was established by the County Board of
Representatives in the Town of Groton. A fourth district has been
proposed for the Town of Lansing and will be considered early in 1974.
The Planning Department plays a leading role in the preparation of
plans, packaging of proposals and in the administration of agricultural
district proposals.
The Commissioner of Public Works and the Commissioner of Planning
are continuing with both near -range and long-range planning activities
in relation to the County -wide refuse disposal programs. A proposal for
the reuse of refuse from Tompkins, Cortland and Cayuga Counties for
heat recovery and electricity generation is being pursued. It is quite
likely that the New York State Department of Environmental Conserva-
tion will fund a major study in that direction early in 1974.
Planning activities on the concept of a loop road to serve the Ithaca
urban area continued. The proposal has now been moved to an en-
gineering feasibility stage through a consulting engineer. There seems
to be sufficient interest in the proposal so that certain segments might
be constructed within the near future.
Participation in Other Community Planning Activities and Organizations
The Planning Department continued with active participation and
cooperation with many organizations including the following:
Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 513
— The Commissioner of Planning serves as the Secretary of the County
Water Agency. We assisted in working out an agreement between the
Town of Ithaca, Cornell, Lansing and the City of Ithaca on the pro-
vision of interim public water pending the completion of the Bolton
Point study. The Bolton Point supply will be developed as an inter-
municipal arrangement involving the municipalities.
— The Planning Commissioner also serves as Secretary of the County
Sewer Agency. The Agency was instrumental in the formation of County
Sewer District No. 1 which should be operational by the end of 1974.
County District No. 1 includes the Village of Cayuga Heights, the north-
east Town of Ithaca, southern Lansing, and a small portion of Dryden.
The County Agency has also submitted application to the New York
State Department of Environmental Conservation for 100 percent fund-
ing on several projects including updating of the comprehensive sewerage
master plan for the entire County, an in-depth study on the opportuni-
ties for cooperative management of waste water treatment plants in the
County, and a plan for the proper disposal of the contents of septic
tanks. These studies will get underway early in 1974. The Agency is also
assisting the Village of Freeville and the community of Newfield in rela-
tion to their efforts to investigate opportunities for public sewer systems.
The agency is investigating the opportunity of intermunicipal coopera-
tion in provision of sewers to these municipalities.
— The Commissioner of Planning met on a regular basis with an ad
hoc committee on human resources planning. The committee is develop-
ing an organizational plan which will hopefully provide for improved
coordination of the major activities in the human services arena.
—A staff member serves on the County Area Beautification Council.
— Staff assistance was provided to the County Health Planning Council.
— The Planning Department provides staff assistance to the County
Environmental Management Council. The Planning Department's bud-
get allocation for environmental planning is $12,000, of which $6,000
is reimbursed by New York State Department of Environmental Con-
servation. Major effort during the year was the preparation of an in-
ventory of open spaces in the, County and the identification of unique
natural resources. In 1974, a plan for preservation of these unique natural
resources will be developed.
— The Planning Commissioner and staff members participated in
numerous other meetings and spoke before many groups, including civic
organizations. These activities provide the Department with an oppor-
tunity to better understand the concerns, needs, and desires of various
peoples and organizations and to help better assist in the coordination
of the total planning picture.

ANNUAL REPORT
1973.
TOMPKINS COUNTY VETERANS' SERVICE AGENCY
(Richard F. Cummings, Director)
Tompkins County, according to the Veterans Administration census,
has a population of 77,400 including approximately 10,626 veterans, of
whom 461 are World War I; 5,172 are World War II; 1,714 are Korean;
3,138 are post -Korean and Viet Nam veterans who have been released
and have returned and come under the Viet Nam G.I. Bill.
A total number of contacts (personal, :letter, and telephone) during
the year amounted to 6,543, of which 2,600 were personal, 1,916 inbound
letters; 2,027 inbound telephone calls. The preponderence of contacts
with the veterans, and the remainder of the contacts were primarily with
families of veterans and servicemen. A total of 6,543 counseling services
were rendered during the year.
A total of 69 meetings were attended by the Director during the year.
He also attended 32 events such as dinners, military funerals, etc. At all
meetings and events, the Director either represented the Tompkins Coun-
ty Veterans' Service Agency or the veterans of Tompkins County. A total
of 69 outside contacts were made, primarily to veterans in the Veterans
Administration Hospitals in Syracuse and Bath, New York; some veterans
were counseled in their homes. The total number of services rendered
to the veterans and their families was 7,750.
On January 10, 1973, the Tompkins County Veterans Service Agency
received a letter from the Veterans Administration Regional Office in
Buffalo, New York showing the new population figures of veterans in
Tompkins County, the population figure is 10,626. This is to advise that
we have received no further release from that date. This is a rise of al-
most 200 and shows a decrease in both World War I and World War II
veterans and a sharp increase in the Viet Nam veteran population who are
being released from service. The following facts were shown in the letter,
that for the current 12 month period expenditure by the federal govern-
ment to Tompkins County Veterans are receiving $2,372,369.00 for com-
pensation and pension benefits; $816,299.00 for educational benefits.
This is an increase over last year of $1,075.540.00. This reflects increasing
veteran population, more veterans applying for benefits and an increase
of monthly benefits awards by the 92nd. Congress.

ASSIGNED COUNSEL PLAN
(submitted by Frank Albanese, Administrator)
For the Judicial Year July 1, 1972 to June 30, 1973:
It is interesting to note .that for the first time there has been a decline
in the number of assigned cases from 215 to 177 for the current reporting
year. We do not know the reason for this decline and cannot tell whether
it represents a trend or not. We should also note that the increased cost
for the current year, despite the reduction of the number of cases, is due
to attorneys finally filing vouchers for cases assigned prior to the report-
ing year, and to the actual trial of more cases.
Charges: Felony — 66; Misdemeanor — 74; Violation — 4; Returned to
Court without Assignment — 19.

Highlights — As a result of the 1972 flood, $78,000 of Soil Conservation
Service Section 216 funds were used in Tompkins County to repair
damage. $30,000 was used in the Village of Brooktondale, Town of Caro-
line, to install rock riprap on 1200 feet of streambank and $48,000 was
turned over to NYS Department of Environmental Conservation to re-
place log cribs washed out on Cayuga Inlet, Town of Newfield. 2) 3500
feet of parallel tile outlet terrace was installed on Cornell University
potato research area to control soil erosion. This is one of the first systems
in the state. This practice is widely used in the midwest. 3) On the In-
dustrial Park across from the airport, 1400 feet of open ditch was installed.
Seeding was done by a hydroseeder from the Broome County Soil and
Water Conservation District. 'SCS staff are presently working on the de-
sign for renovating an old marsh into a fire protection pond. 4) The
District purchased 2500 tree seedlings and distributed them to Grades
K-6 in Dryden Elementary School and the Etna Community Nursery
School to provide young people with some contact with nature and con-
servation. The program was very well received. 5) Assistance was provided
on installing 400 feet of tile drainage on 4H Acres to drain the horse
rink area. 6) 8 talks were given on soil conservation — 2 were on WHCU
Radio, one to the Boy Scout leaders, one to the local chapter of the
Daughters of the American Revolution and 4 to classes at Cornell and
Tompkins -Cortland Community College. 7) Assisted Babcock Poultry in
installing 9 holding tanks by chicken houses to control waste runoff. 8)
Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 535
Reviewed 10 housing subdivision plat reviews at the request of the Dry-
den and Ithaca Town Planning Boards and Tompkins County Health
Department. This consisted of provided soils information, and making
an onsite investigation to determine if soil erosion or surface or subsur-
face within would be a problem. Where potential problems existed,
recommendations were made to the Planning Boards to correct problem.
9) The District conducted a tour of Conservation Practices on November
12. Items covered were the 216 streambank stabilization work in Brook-
tondale, Cornell Terraces, open ditch built on the Research Park Site
and a farm pond.

Outlook for 1974: On the agricultural scene, the installation of corru-
gated plastic drain tubing, rather than clay tile will continue to mount,
if there is not a shortage of plastic to manufacture it. Much of the plastic
installation in the past year or two was not installed right and there will
be some failures. The policy on plastic drain tile has relaxed some and
this new policy will have to be gotten out to the farmers. A vigorous
district program will be undertaken to try to reach all major farmers,
pointing out the importance of quality installation of plastic drain tile.
Requests for district assistance in designing and installing animal waste
holding facilities will increase and careful planning of overall farm man-
agement will be needed to insure successful operations.
Soil erosion on sloping farmland heavily cropped to corn continues to
be the number one agricultural problem. Itis estimated that 57,000 acres
of cropland are suffering accelerated erosion. While strip cropping and
diversion ditches are the conventional answer for soil erosion on sloping
cropland, these solutions do not offer feasible alternatives to many of
today's modern farmers and new answers are needed. Parallel tile outlet
terraces, do provide an answer in future years, and we now have one
system on Cornell land.
It is anticipated that a federally funded Agricultural Stabilization and
Conservation Service cost sharing program will be available this year.
Lime and tile drainage will probably not be included but ponds are
questionable. Much of it will be based on the landowner having a current
536 Tompkins County, New York
soil and water conservation plan,so both our planning and application
workload should rise.
Rural Residents: District assistance in the fields on conservation plan-
ning and pond construction will continue to be demanded by rural land-
owners. If Federal ASCS cost sharing is available this spring, an informa-
tional meeting will be held on ponds to inform interested landowners on
proper pond construction and procedures. It is estimated that 20 ponds
will be built next summer. Generally, soil erosion is not a problem on
the properties of these rural residents, information on land management
techniques is most often sought, and many of these people are ready,
willing and able to develop and utilize a conservation plan for the de-
velopment and management of their properties.
Units of Government: Providing soil information and general resource
data to units of government is expected to decrease, as much of this data
has already been provided to the units of government who are interested.
Review of proposed housing subdivisions will continue to occupy a fair
part of the time spent working with units of governments. The big project
for 1974 will be providing the design and construction supervision for
the installation of a 6 acre fire protection pond on the new proposed
Tompkins County Industrial Park.
Soil Conservation Problems to Overcome in 1974: Requests for district
assistance on agricultural subsurface drainage layout has fallen off the
last two years. The field of animal waste management and holding facili-
ties is relatively new and just what type of operation qualifies and what
does not, under SCS specifications is still confusing. The problem of sheet
erosion on cultivated cropland is a long time problem. At least 50%
of the conservation plans on the active farms in the county are out of
date and need to be revised. Tompkins County has been a member of
the South Central New York Resource Conservation and Development
Project since January 1970. Accomplishments to date have been very
limited. Finding effective local leadership to provide the needed input
has been part of the problem. The uncertainty of budget cuts, revamping
of federal programs and talk of reorganization makes long range planning
for soil conservation difficult:

THE TOMPKINS COUNTY SENIOR CITIZENS' COUNCIL, INC.
(Detailed Report filed with the Clerk of the. Board)
A Nutrition Committee has studied the nutritional needs of the elder-
ly in the county. A survey conducted by Bert H. Swift, Associate Director
for Public Service and Extension programs shows that it is reasonably
safe to estimate that one-third of those over sixty-five, or 1,500 persons,
have interest in group meals. Cooperative Extension has been named
the sponsor for the program and the County Legislators have given their
support. To date, the county has been assigned $58,448 of which $52,690
comes from the federal government through the State Office for the
Aging. The remainder has been appropriated by Tompkins County
Legislature. Meals will be served at Titus Towers (Ithaca Housing
Authority) with the Salvation Army cooperating, and at the Dryden
School. This program will be coordinated by Mrs. Barbara Stewart of
the Home Economics Division of the Tompkins County Cooperative
Extension Association.
An ad hoc committee headed by Daniel Carey studies the possibility of
an Office for the Aging in Tompkins County. County Legislator Robert
Bruce is working with the County Planning Board and is planning a pro-
posal to the County legislature.
The Board wishes to express its appreciation and admiration to the
staff, volunteers, WHCU, WTKO, the Ithaca Journal, and all who give
so freely of their expertise and time to work of the Council in its struggle
to meet the needs of the elderly in this area.
The increased support from the county, city and United Fund is an
enormous boost. The generous gifts of the units and supporters are a re-
source of special value.
The staffs of the NYS Office of the Aging, Social Security, United
Fund, BOCES, Cornell University, Ithaca College, Cooperative Extension,
the Older Persons Regional Office, Ithaca Housing Authority, Red
Cross and other local groups have been most helpful.
We make special note of the imaginative and dedicated six years of
leadership provided by our former director, Malcolm J. Freeborn, who
resigned October 1, 1973. We also are grateful for the continuing volun-
teer service of Percy Dunn and salute Miss Marjorie Ruth Ross and
Ralph Mungle who resigned in January.
There is a program of classes supplied by BOCES and volunteer
teachers. Many committees have contributed to community thinking and

ANNUAL REPORT
TOMPKINS COUNTY LIBRARY
(Howard R. Brentlinger, Director)
(Detailed report on file with the Clerk)
1973 would seem to have been the most fruitful year in the history of
the Tompkins County Public Library, or its predecessor, the Cornell
Public Library — both statistically, and in terms of the service programs.
Total circulation of all library materials — 489,551
Films to organizations — 1,762
Materials loaned to other libraries — 5,754
Materials borrowed from other libraries — 2,206
Total number of registered borrowers — 25,180
Grand total library materials holdings
(including Finger Lakes Library System
Central Collection) - 168,962
Total number of reserves filled — 11,944
Total number of reference questions — 11,112
Staff: During 1973 we again experienced considerable stability. The
only change in the professional group was the replacement of Mrs. Mar-
garet Oaksford by Mrs. Dolores Murphy, and then by Mr. Michael York
in the part-time reference position. Other changes were in the ranks of
library clerks, pages, and our stenographer.
One of the highlights for the director was attendance for two weeks in
July at the Library Administrators Development Program held at the
University of Maryland. Completed one year of staff evaluation, and
realize that one of our goals must be revision of our form. Our reference
librarian position was reclassified which more accurately reflects the re-
sponsibilities of this position as central library reference coordinator for
the Finger Lakes Library System.
The director attended several management training sessions given for
county departments with the assistance of TC3. Several staff attend ses-
sions also.
Several members of the Neighborhood Youth Corps again worked at
the library.
Building: During the fall a separate air conditioning unit was installed
for the children's room. A flood light was installed on the front facade
over the library's name.
Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 543
Outreach: Most of the programs noted last year have continued or ex-
panded. The director described the jail program to 125 conferees as part
of a panel on institutional services at the annual Conference in. Albany.
The jail open house was attended on April 3. This occasion recognized
the contributions of various organizations toward the development of the
recreation room and its program. Assistant Reference Librarian Gayle
German's bibliography of law books was published in the NYS Library
magazine. Bookmark.
Finger Lakes Library System: 1973 was a year of substantial accomplish-
ment in our joint endeavors. Completion of the revised contract was a
major achievement. Our staff, trustees, friends, system staff and trustees,
and constituents joined their counterparts around the state in a major
effort to apprise state legislators of the need for their support of our
county -wide services. The director, with Mr. Weitzel and Miss Laird, at-
tended the annual Library Systems Conference in Albany. The day before
was spent visiting state legislators with a number of other librarians and
trustees to explain the needed library legislation. The system again as-
sisted us with the paper work entailed in securing the federal Library
Services and Construction Act reference grant and the State Central
Library Development grant. The latter increased from $15,000 to $19,-
739.51 as an outcome of the legislation passed in Albany. Unfortunately
we learned that the federal grant would not be renewed after 1973. The
system formula grant amounted to $17,665 and the special cash grant to
$2,250. The system voted that the 1974 special cash grant would be $3,500.
Finger Lakes Library System assisted as a co-sponsor of the "Future
Shock" program. Our staff again participated in the monthly book meet-
ings, and in the work of the joint book selection committee and the
film preview committee. Mrs. Feldman and Young Adult Advisory Coun-
cil showed the library slides at the System annual meeting on October 17.
Tompkins County Library is the leading user of the system interlibrary
loan service. The director completed his second one-year term as presi-
dent of the Independent Central Libraries Association.
Friends of the Library: My thanks to President Mrs. F. F. Foltman and
her board and group. Special Gifts: Include memorial books, a 16 mm
film projector from the William Kerr memorial fund, a print enlarged
from the Delta Gamma Alumni Chapter, for loan to readers, a Jewish
Publication Society subscription for ten book units from the Jewish
Community of Ithaca, $50 from the Griffis Foundation, Inc. of New
London, Connecticut, art reproduction bags purchased by the Friends
for the Finger Lakes Library System, a Mosler file safe through the kind-
ness of Judge Harold E. Simpson.
The "Future Shock" film and panel discussion on April 11, and the
Beethoven's Birthday Party chamber music concert on December 13 were
the most successful programs to yet be held in the meeting room. We
544 Tompkins County, New York
completed round No. 1 of orientation tours for trustees, conducted by de-
partment heads.' We made further use of volunteers talents, in several
new areas. Our reference staff helped a handicapped child who hadn't
been able to read for over a year. He was able to read by using the
library's optiscope. Our thanks again to the news media for their help
with publicity. Nancy McGinnies has provided these notes on some of her
projects: During 1973 we made a good start establishing a system to pro-
vide an up-to-date inventory of all furniture and equipment as well as
library materials. Late in 1973 a staff committee was formed to review
present methods of handling missing books and records and to develop
methods to locate, replace and/ or borrow the materials to insure more
efficient filling of patrons' requests and to keep an adequate stock of
materials in demand. A modest amount of original cataloging was done
by the assistant director during the year. The assistant director served on
two committees of the Tompkins County Social Planning Council of the
United Way; the Ad Hoc Committee on Revenue Sharing and the Infor-
mation and Referral Committee. The librarian trainee and assistant
director began work on a project to organize materials housed in locked
cases.
Some Future Needs: We do not believe that the airconditioning prob-
lem throughout the library has been solved, despite the installation of the
conditioner in the children's room. The interior lighting problem still
exists. Until questions of trustee jurisdiction are resolved with the Board
of Representatives, the administrative function will continue to become
progressively handicapped and morale will continue to suffer. It is time
to plan for library expansion, as the building is filled to storage and
program capacity. Staff does not expand commensurately with increasing
pressures on public services, meaning that priorities have to be scru-
tinized more carefully than ever before, and recommendations re staffing
developed.
Finally: Thanks to Garth Jackson for his dedicated year as chairman
of our Board of Trustees, and to the Board for its support. A board of
trustees with time to study a library's complexities can represent the
library to the public bodies and to the library's constituency in unique
ways, and ways vital to the library's effectiveness. Thanks also' to Assistant
Director Nancy McGinnies and our staff for their interest and concern
for meeting as many people needs as our abilities and resources and time
allow. We still endure growing pains at Tompkins County Library, and
many challenges lie before us, but this is to be preferred to a state of com-
placency. Again we can report affirmative response by countless patrons
which gives us needed encouragement to persevere.

TOMPKINS COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
Robert L. Howard, Sheriff
(detailed report on file with Clerk)
The Jail Recreation Room has been in operation for a full year and
appears to have been very successful. The inmates have an opportunity
to exercise and to watch television. Many programs are offered to the in-
mates such as: High School Equivalency Class conducted by volunteer
instructors, Group therapy is conducted by the County Mental Health
Department and Religious services are also available to the inmates.
Keeping the inmates busy during the day and evening hours has helped
to cut down on jail problems in general.
Our youth programs continued to grow in 1973 and a record number
of young people met police officers on a very friendly basis.
Department personnel attended several training schools including
Police Science classes at Tompkins -Cortland Community College.
The new radio system is well under way and should be operating by
late spring. This communication system will able the police agencies in
the county to work closely together on any major problem. This new
system will give Tompkins County some of the best police equipment
and service anywhere in the State.
JUVENILE PROGRAM
The year 1973, marked the initiation of our co-educational Junior
Deputy Program. The fall of 1972 saw 503 boys and girls enrolled into
the program.
The Juvenile Officer was assisted throughout the year in the Junior
Deputy Program by uniformed Deputies. The usual Jail and Court House
Tours were conducted by the Juvenile Officer. Sheriff Howard presented
435 Junior Deputy badges in March and April. These were almost evenly
distributed between boys and girls.
In June, the annual Junior Deputy camp out was held at Camp Bar-
ton. Approximately 150 Junior Deputies were treated to a weekend of
swimming, boating, archery, firearms training, first aid training movies
and of course tenting and campfires.
Between the three men that served this year as Juvenile Officer, 72
Juveniles were petitioned into Family Court or referred to the Probation
546 Tompkins County, New York
Department. In addition, 135 warnings or warnings with restitution were
handed out over the Juvenile Officer's desk.
Juvenile Delinquency continues to be a very serious problem within
our community. It took a high toll in both monetary cost to victims and
an even higher toll on the lives of the young offenders. Even with changes
of Department Personnel, our Juvenile Division can look back on a busy
and rewarding year. We continue to bring to the citizens of Tompkins
County a dedicated effort of a progressive law enforcement to make our
County a better place in which to live.
NAVIGATION REPORT
The 1973 boating season saw the Sheriff's Department step up its
patrol activities. The patrol boat was active on the lake every weekend
and sometimes during the week.
Several people were rescued from collapsed sailboats and other small
craft. Also disabled vessels were assisted by the patrol boat. One fatal
boating accident was investigated by Deputy Morris Harper. This was
the only serious accident on the lake in 1973. We feel that the boat patrol
was responsible for keeping accidents at a minimum.
A total of thirty-five complaints were received and acted upon. Fifteen
summonses were issued for improper lifesaving equipment, speeding, and
improper water skiing. Several boaters were warned about violations and
many vessels were checked for equipment violations. A number of dan-
gerous floating objects were removed from the lake.

HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION
(submitted by Cleveland Myers, Chairman)
(detailed report on file with clerk) •
The report which follows is addressed to the everyday concerns that
this commission must try to get across to the people of this community
in one way or another — "that each one of us should be concerned every-
day with Human Rights, order and justice, the maintenance of individual
dignity and mutual respect." The Commission follows guidelines set forth
by the NYS Division of Human Rights. Discrimination is only one aspect
of the commission's work. They give assistance in counselling of problems
involving family, budgeting, public assistance, education, recreation. If
needs of an individual appear to require professional therapy, he or she
is referred to the proper agency. Throughout the first part of the year,
the commission was fortunate to receive legal clarification, support and
guidance in procedures from. Robert Mair. He was replaced by Edward
Landy when he retired.
Resources: Neal Hoffman, Regional Director, State Division of Human
Rights, has offered support and has helped to strengthen educational
and work programs which the commission has been undertaking re-
garding use of the news media to promote the idea of non-discrimination.
The youth groups and the Human Relations Committee and concerned
citizens have attended meetings and are working on special projects.
There will also be'a very important resource in the coming year, with the
Office of Economic Opportunity. There has been established resources
with the Onondaga County Human Relations Board and 22 agencies in
the White Plains area. Having them here to attend public meetings has
proven an immeasurable resource in ideas and knowledge, which we will
use to further better the commission in its endeavors.
Employment: In the past year, there have been two important goals:
1) To work out an affirmative action plan with city in granting equal
opportunities in employment; 2) working to help prepare the format
in bringing about the hiring of black recruiters in the school district in
order to improve minority participation as teachers, workers, in the
Ithaca School District. We are in the process of taking a look at our
county and seeking a way that we might he of assistance in bringing about
an Equal Opportunity Employment resolution for the county.
Education: The Education Committee has been very active this past
year in working on education programs to bring into the elementary
schools as well as to community awareness of the need for equality.
Housing: The Housing Committee, who have been busy with housing
complaints, have also been in the process of instituting a public hearing
552 Tompkins County, New York
along with several other agencies about the housing situation including
rent, care of property and discrimination.
Miscellaneous Items: Newspaper ads are run in the weekly section of
the Ithaca Journal giving information regarding the commission.
Through the efforts and correspondence with the Ithaca Journal, they
have re-established their help want ads to conform with the NYS Human
Rights Commisison regulations. Chairman attended a series of meetings
involving rights of inmates here locally and also of correctional institu-
tions in the state.
Recommendations: The overall progress of the Commission has not
been what we fully wanted, but we have moved into a 65% aspect of
doing what we have started to do. There is the job market, which with its
being down, led to a number of job complaints. There is a lack of people
to give the time that is necessary to implement programs that will deal
with housing and jobs, whether these programs have been set up or in
the works. One of the problems is getting a more diverse gathering of
community people interested. I would ask for a change in the budget.
This by no means would be for more money, but moving it around to
fit our needs to help the community. The commission places job dis-
crimination as a number one priority. We now face a two -fold problem,
inasmuch as we now have "sex" discrimination as well as racial discrimi-
nation to work with. The commission has to start programs that will
bring about a change in this situation and to see that the opportunities
for everyone to be made aware of job opportunities is given. There is
one other important fact, which is to work to set up programs that will
allow the people, especially minorities who do not know how to take
tests, etc. to be afforded, in order to improve their chances, to be able
to apply for the better jobs as they become available. We must try to
get layoff procedures revised to avoid penalizing those who are least able
to adjust to a recession; try to plan new career opportunity programs for
minorities through the use of in-service training and the wider use of
paraprofessionals.
The total concept of education in all levels, starting in the elementary
schools especially and right on through to the community on the aspects
of how discrimination will and has affected everyone's lives; how polariza-
tion in this community is stifling our progress as a community, our youth,
and in general our attitudes toward a better world. Programs which can
be worked with, through other organizations, as a group toward these
goals have to be started.
I feel this is probably the most important, due to the fact that the work
the commission has to do in the way of programs and also in defense or
aid of the load of complaints that have to be looked into, that this recom-
mendation be looked into and meetings be set up with the Chairman to
Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 553
further discuss this recommendation: In order to facilitate our work, there
is a definite need for a Director/Coordinator in order that the commission
might have the time for programs. The duties would be on a full-time
basis. I feel this is a must and should be acted upon as soon as possible.
There should be open hearings on the major issues of discrimination
in our community, whether in housing, jobs, or public accommodations.
In order to help accommodate a more cross section of people to the
Commission, I submit a new budget format. There is no change in the
total budget, but it has been rearranged to help eliminate some of the
problems that some of the commissions face, especially in obtaining gas
and time off from the job.

ANNUAL REPORT
TOMPKINS COUNTY AIRPORT
(submitted by Glenn Turner, Manager)
(detailed report on file with Clerk of Board)
1973 was a very active year with Certification, the Air Traffic Control
Tower and the starting of the Instrument Landing System.
Considerable time and effort went into the writing of the Airport
Operations and Security Manuals. Both were accepted by the Federal
Aviation Administration in January, allowing our community to con-
tinue to receive scheduled air service.
Four capital contracts entered into: Superior Electric for the installing
of the lighting control panel in the Air Traffic Control Tower, Hall Sc
Stearns for the preparation of the Glide Slope of the Instrument Landing
System, Cornell University involved with the relocation of WHCU trans-
mitter tower and Arnold Thompson Associates for the Master Plan. All
were accepted and participation was received by the Federal Aviation Ad-
ministration, New York' State Department of Transportation and Ap-
palachian funding, thereby reducing our local share. All of these will be
completed during 1974.
Budget: of the $114,940.00 appropriated for the Airport operation,
$85,736.03 was spent; $16,269.11 was not used for equipment due to the
acquiring of a surplus FWD truck and adapting it to a much needed snow
plow. Also, due to a light winter season, item 400 was not depleted. This
was accomplished by less energy used and much less upkeep and repairs
on antiquated equipment. However, we did appropriate an additional
$3,500.00 to renovate part of the Terminal Building for a passenger
security room. This area was leased back to the Airlines and will more
than pay for itself.
Traffic: All sources of activity showed substantial increases: The air-
lines showed increase in all areas except departures, which were down
10%. The passenger count up by 15%, air mail pounds up by 51%, air
express pounds up by 19% and air freight pounds up by 49%.
Chartair showed larger increases: Fuel sold up by 53%, aircraft de-
partures by 40% and passengers up by 59%.
East Hill Flying Club had the largest increase in hours flown with
3,127 this year over 1972's 1,875, an increase of 67%.
The Ithaca Limousine Service increase was 7%.
Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 555
If 1974 produces these same increases over 1973 and we have no doubt
that they will, your airport will be handling more than it is capable. We
are looking forward to a very exciting and busy year.
There are 44 personnel employed here, generating an annual payroll of
over $331,600.00. It is conservatively estimated that the airport generated
$3,940,049.00 volume of business. This figure does not include interline
fares of the airlines, which would probably be over another million
dollars.
With direct passenger flow, plus visitors and other associated people,
your airport handled over 135,000 through its doors this year.
Your airport played host to the Northeast Chapter of the American
Association of Airport Executives in September with over 140 attending
representing 30% of the nation's airport. This particular meeting was the
best ever experienced by the association, which makes us feel very proud
of both the airport and the community. All were impressed with our
area.
