request denied for Pediatrics and OBS, because "not in public interest" ALPHA advising New York State Health Department through Central New York Regional Planning & Review Council on reasons why penalties should not be enforced on all hospitals Currently penalty on Tompkins County Hospital is $2 71 for all Medicaid days and $2 58 for all Blue Cross days Recommendation to Board of Managers

Retarded Children He asked that the board understand that the ARC must be given sup- port and encouragement so it can survive to continue its fight to work with the retarded and parents and the community He mentioned there is a `Brief Organi- zation Profile" of ARC which he distributed There is a need for community residences called hostels to serve mentally retarded and develop mentally dis- abled adults He said he served on the Residential Unit Committee of the Compre- hensive Health Planning Council and drew up a functional program plan and budget which he filed with the Clerk Mr Robey said a draft proposal by the Residential Unit Committee will be presented at the next Mental Health Board meeting D Boardman Lee said it won't cost the taxpayers anything to set up The State will buy the house, rehabilitate it but the sponsoring agency will have to furnish it The annual operating cost would be paid one-half by the state and the remainder by the county The actual cost to the county would be very slight because it can be offset by earnings of people living in hostels and charges they pay for room and board Mrs Benson said the Grand Jury has great powers of subpoena and it is because of this great power that it should be used judiciously and with caution Mr Dates said Mr Payne and Mr Franklin were here to answer any ques- tions relative to tentative state equalization Mr Lee said an important item for the towns and supervisors is changing the equalization rates which means in- creasing tax rates Mr Payne said the average change in full value county -wide is 8 4% whereas some of the tax districts have increased more or less than average change and therein lies the impact with respect to the apportionment of the county tax levy The State Equalization Rates are used for apportionment of central and city school district taxes between tax districts This particular rate is a rate which is determined after input by various supervisors, town council- men, reviewing of the appraised values of a sample group of properties from each of the tax districts so they would have local input into this It is a very thorough survey which the State Board is required to do It is based, in this case, upon 1970 market value and 1969 assessed value Mr Dates said the four -county area on railroads is meeting March 28 in Cortland The Chamber of Commerce banquet is March 29—they are discussing tourism for the summer, band day and a year from now will be the Junior Olympics 1 Mr Culligan, Health Committee, said he Mr Liguori, and Mr Holden

public hearing late in April for a change for an Office of the Aging to be established in Tompkins County The total program would cost approximately $42,000, about $9,000 to $10,000 to be county money

matter of tax- able real estate To his knowledge the only legislation to be i eported out that would modify assessments this year will be directly related to vineyards and orchards and it freezes the

development proposition He and Mr Bruce recognize fully that the Board of Representatives has no direct legal authority However, major developments in areas will affect us all He feels county government has an obligation to encourage cooperation among various municipalities Mr Bruce spoke and agreed with Mr Robey If they are to preserve the right of local municipalities, towns, villages and etc to control their own zoning and development and recognizing the impact developments of this sort have outside the jurisdictions involved, we must have some means of communication and input so the broader interests can at least be heard The County Planning Board was established to provide the kind of com- munication and interaction, not to be binding on local jurisdictions but to provide them as much input as possible Mr Webster said in their committee meeting, they considered this question and voted to favor 3, with one abstention Mr Wes- ley McDermott, Supervisor of the Town of Lansing, said he objects to this resolu- tion Their town board has been working diligently to give consideration to the proposal He wondered if this board would permit an encroachment upon local duties and legal responsibilities and questions whether there is any authority by this board to act upon it Mr Liguori said under the provisions of the General Municipal Law, the County Planning Board does have a role in reviewing pro- posals such as this Mr Dates said he is disappointed that this resolution is going to be considered Mr Kerr said the county has no authority other than the excep- tion Mr Liguori pointed out Mrs Livesay said she feels the resolution rather than trying to encroach upon the rights of the town, as trying to preserve the right to the town Mr Lee read a statement by Representative LeGrace Benson who was unable to be here today She said citizens from both rural and urban areas clearly recognize that what is done in one corner of the county can and does affect all the rest She suggested that we enlarge the scope of the timely resolution to include all large-scale residential commercial, industrial and recreational projects The County Planning Board should report to the county board on the economic, human and environmental costs and benefits of such protects, and other official governing bodies should be encouraged to defer final approval until such a report has been received and considered by the county board Such rational planning would in no way abridge or denature local decision making, but could enable it to be more informed and co-ordinated with that of other units WHEREAS, the shopping mall proposed for the Triphammer -Rt 13 area in 54 April 8, 1974 the Town of Lansing will have an impact on other political subdivisions of the County, including the Village of Cayuga Heights and the City of Ithaca, and WHEREAS, the proposed Lansing mall will affect traffic patterns, the en- vironment and the tax structure of several different political entities within the county, and 'WHEREAS, while the Board of Representatives recognizes and has no desire to encroach on the ultimate decision-making responsibility of the Town of Lan- sing, it believes that the above considerations call for a county -wide input into those decisions, now therefore be it RESOLVED, that (1) this Board respectfully request the appropriate official bodies in the Town of Lansing to postpone final decisions affecting the future of the proposed mall until its impact on the county as a whole can be studied, and (2) that the County Planning Board provide a mechanism by which officials from the various municipalities affected can jointly study the county -wide impact of the proposed mall and report to this board through the Planning and Public Works Committee as soon as possible It was Moved by Mr Kerr, seconded by Mr Haight, That this resolution be tabled Ayes — Representatives Holden, Kerr, MacNeil, Miller, Watros, Clynes, Dates, Haight, and Lee — 9 Noes — Bruce, Livesay, Robey, Webster — 4 Ex- cused -2 Motion to Table Adopted.

Mr Bruce 56 April 22, 1974 said the plan is on a five-year schedule and the county is 2-1/2 years into it and are at a point where they need to develop priorities Mr Dates noted that some villages are lowering or keeping their tax rates He said the reason is they are now using the income from the sales tax He said if anyone would hke a report on the income from the sales tax, the committee will make it The Chairman requested the Budget and Finance Committee to make that report Eugene Arnold, Hospital Administrator, reported in regard to the Status of Appeals Medicaid — He had a discussion with Mr Rmaldi with the Bureau of Health Economics regarding this appeal He estimates action within the next 30 days by the Health Department However, since the Hospital Association of New York State is instituting discussions with Health Department representatives on an intensity of care factor in the rates, we may be receiving individual response. He recommended another appeal based upon Tompkins County Hospital's group- ing The groupings, based upon the patient days of service in 1972 establish a ceiling for routine costs. Because there are so few municipal hospitals in New York State, municipal hospitals are grouped with voluntary for this purpose In our group of approximately 12 hospitals only 2 are municipal Therefore, the $650,000 retirement payment estimated for 1974 ($13 per patient day) puts us in excess of the ceiling Our current penalty is approximately $8 per day This appeal is being formulated and he has sought consultation from the Hospital Association of New York State Blue Cross — Thursday this week, he is meeting with three members of the Blue Cross staff to discuss the status of that appeal From a rather vague letter received and conversations, he assumed that the appeal had been denied However, they now lead him to believe that it may be up for reconsideration providing other data are submitted Two bills are pending before the State Legislature and Senate regarding hospital reimbursement Both of these bills deal with incorpora- tion of out-patient losses in the inpatient reimbursement rate from Blue Cross and Medicaid These bills are S-10032 and A-12056 However, it is their understanding that both bills are written to benefit only voluntary hospitals He would like to ask the board's support in seeking amendments to have these bills apply equally to public hospitals such as Tompkins County Hospital. Mr Bruce, Administration, said the question was referred to them relating to the suggestion that county government consider the establishment of a Boy Scout Troop under county sponsorship Having no visible interest among the committee, he extended an invitation to the other members of the board Mr Lee said Mr Jordon from the Chamber of Commerce and David Dunlop spoke to him pertinent to the possibility of setting up an Explorer Post There would be no board obligation other than being a sponsoring agency and the overall ob- jective of Explorer Scouts is to get them more involved, for example, in govern- mental activities He feels it is a reasonable request which would cost $25 for sponsoring fee He thought the Administration Committee would want to look at it and possibly put a resolution before the board Mr Bruce said the feeling of the committee was they saw no particular advantage to the explorers or the county for being sponsors Mr Culligan, Health Committee, said their committee met Wednesday and went over various subjects relating to health They approved a resolution be drawn up in the future for the purchase of an emergency telephone line to Ithaca from Groton It would cost $92 00 per month He feels if this service saves one life, it certainly will be well spent They received a request regarding the county- wide communication system to ambulances They reserved any decision on the purchase until they have more information They feel a recommendation should be forthcoming from the Public Safety Committee It is his understanding this would be funded by revenue sharing funds The committee heard Mr Jackson Hall, Chairman of the Mental Health Services, and Marjorie Waldman who indi- cated a few problems they have The key personnel would like to move to a down- town location They do most of their business with contract agencies which are mostly downtown This was referred to the Planning and Public Works Committee The other item discussed was changing the Assistant Administrator from part- April 22, 1974 57 time to full-time They would also like another typist They referred this to the Personnel Committee The proposal for an Office for the Aging m

to the Economic Opportunity Board later in the meeting There are still two vacancies on the public sector Mrs Livesay said the committee received a letter from Mayor Conley asking for their attendance at a meeting with the City Transportation Committee, City Intergovernmental Relations Committee, Supervisors from the Towns of Ithaca and Lansing, Mr Haus from Cornell University, Mr Liguori and Mr Lee There is a committee through the County Planning Department that is hearing reports of Mr Arnim Meyburg who is doing a study They would like a committee ap- pointed from public officials from each board in the county to discuss the possi- bilities of how county -wide transportation would be set up The Mayor is going to have another meeting This board will receive a letter asking for two people to be selected to represent the board on the committee Mr Lee said there are a number of groups working on this and he thought maybe they could be consoli- dated into one group Mr Holden, Personnel, reported they met April 10 and he will present three resolutions this morning He said Mr Hurlbut brought them up-to-date on the Comprehensive Employment Training Act He said in 1973 work was done on creation or changing of positions procedure They felt the Committee should take another look They feel this should now be referred to the Administration Com- mittee and John Murphy for comment, then they will review it for any changes Mr Miller, Public Safety and Correction, said his committee met There will be a report two weeks from now on the District Attorney situation He said he at- tended a banquet last Friday evening of the Radio Club It is a very enthusiastic club and an important group with little cost to the county Mr Webster said he and Mr Dates visited the Halfway House and things are going nicely Before January 1975 a decision has to be made with respect to that facility They will be coming back to this board with plans and descriptions of their on-going evaluation Mr MacNeil, Social Services Committee, said the committee met April 9th and decided to raise Resolution No 239 from the table which is for the purchase of a grinder -mixer for the County Home They also listened to recommendations by Mrs Helen Gallagher, A -Supervisor in Children's Division The construction of the bridge between the Montgomery Ward Building and the existing Social Services Department is well underway Howard Stevenson is going to conduct a preliminary investigation regarding the fitness of the building on April 25 Their next meeting will be in May He said April 26 at the Central Fire

meeting with FHA and Mr Maynard Poray and they have fourteen documents to sign asking for water extension and sewer extension, the fire safety pond at the industrial development on Warren Road He will ask permission later in the meeting to present a resolution on this matter Mr Webster said the annual meeting of the Economic Opportunity Corpora- tion will be April 23 The Criminal Justice Committee met at a public meeting April 10 and they discussed the District Attorney's office April 17 they met in Executive Session for further discussion April 24 there is a meeting and he hopes there is

hopes to have the reports in the board's hands before the first of May He said from the beginning it was the intention of the committee to give their report to the Public Safety Committee before it was made public However, somehow the report was made public Mr Murphy, County Administrator, reported on the Centrix System which is under consideration He and Howard Stevenson met with representatives from the telephone company to investigate the possibility of a Centrix System to cover the entire county mainly in the 272-273 and 274 area Also, he said they will start on the foreclosure process for all properties for back taxes dating to 1970 All persons have been notified by registered mail The telephone system at the community college was discussed as to whether it could be included in the Centrix System Mr Watros said the college has their own equipment which they maintain Also discussed was the question of a toll- free telephone line from Groton to Ithaca The chairman asked Mr Holden to get an up -dated report on this matter and whether it can be appealed before the Public Service Commission It was pointed out there is a free line from Groton to the County Assessment Department and also a community college line. Mr Williamson, County Attorney, reported there is a decision by Judge Yesawich, in the case of Betty Muka against DeForrest Heffron, President of the Ithaca Teachers Association, NYS United Teachers, National Education Associa- tion, American Federation of Teachers, which dismissed the complaint He said there has not been a decision yet in the Boardman House case He noted he has appointed a second assistant, George Pfann, who will work with the Health De- partment and Hospital Mr Lee reported on an important meeting at the Board of Education under the chairmanship of Mrs Ruth Pettengill who has worked conscientiously from the Budget and Administration Committee's charge of a year ago trying to ad- dress the human resources consolidation project He said he indicated to the group that he is officially assigning that proposal in what they do in human resources consolidation jointly to the Health Committee and Planning and Public Works Commitee and County Administrator to report back to this board within a 90 - day period He expressed appreciation to Ruth Pettengill on this topic He also said he met with the Tompkins County Garden Club, Mrs Dorothy Boothroyd and Mrs Roy Parks, Jr , who expressed interest in planting flowers around the terminal building at the airport He referred this to Mr Dates who is liaison to the airport to see what can be arranged Mr Dates said he would like to ask permission to present resolutions not on the agenda today pertaining to authorization for the chairman to contract to thin county forest lands, appointments to the Industrial Development Agency and a resolution relative to the airport Mr Bruce objected to the appointment of Representatives Lee and Dates to the Industrial Development Agency as he felt it was in contravention with the rules of the board It was Moved by Mr Miller, seconded by Mr Culligan, That resolutions pertaining to the chairman's authoriza- tion to contract to thin forest lands and the airport resolution, be considered at this meeting Motion Carried.

' Mr Lee noted he had a telephone call from Hospital Affihates in Memphis which generates the letter he referred to the Health Committee pertinent to the potentiality of talking to them about a management contract with the hospital Under privilege of the floor, Mrs Ruth Dayhoff, new representative of ALTHA, was introduced to.the board Professor David Curtiss, Chairman of th3 Criminal Justice Advisory Planning Committee, reported pertinent to the Criminal Justice studies of the past year The committee was established by this board May 14, 1973 and directed to study generally the requirements of the county s criminal justice system and to make recommendations designed to help meet these needs Mr Roger Sovocool was designated vice-chairman and L Richard Webster was designated representative from this board The following persons were selected to serve on the committee Nancy Atkins, Charles W Brodhead, Sharon Garrett, Robert L Howard, James Johnston, Kenneth C Johnson, Helen Morse, Anthony Schultz, Hanna Sonnabend, William P Sullivan, Jr , Leo L Teeter, Donald Tompkins, Harlin McEwen The committee was divided into subcommittees Subcommittee II was chaired by Harlin McEwen and was made responsible for studying new and alternative methods of law enforcement and rehabilitation Subcommittee I was chaired by Roger Sovocool and given responsibility for study of delay in the court system and for an evaluation of current methods of providing legal representation to indigent persons within the county He submitted the completed report to the board for their careful considerations of the recommendations Chairman Lee thanked Mr Curtiss, Mr Sovocool and Mr McEwen on behalf of the board for the long hours they put into this report He said the Public Safety and Corrections Committee will be reviewing carefully the 15 recommendations and report back later so the appropriate action can be taken Eugene Arnold, Hospital Administrator, reported on the financial progress status of the hospital He said there was a substantial decrease in the number of patient days in a two-year period The retirement expense is excessive Dr Allyn Ley brought the board up-to-date on the Health Maintenance Organization in this area 1 "I have been having some discussion within the last few weeks with Don Culligan and other members of the Health Committee in regard to the develop- ment of a Health Maintenance Organization in this community I think it really came about in part because the University for which I think I speak in this respect, is interested in this kind of development and we feel that if this is done in conjunction with the community it would be a lot more appropriate and bene- ficial to both the university and the community Because these conversations may lead to action which I hope eventually would get to this board, Mr Culligan has asked me to come here today to describe the background material on what HMO is and perhaps facets of HMO considerations and to briefly answer any questions that may arise We are distributing a handout prepared by the State Office of Comprehensive Health Planning Organization which describes on the first page essentially what an HMO is all about The second page makes reference to cur- 90 June 24, 1974 rent legislation which was passed in December of last year The next two pages refer to procedures and requirements with regard to submission of application for a feasibility study to the Department of HEW The last page has been pre- pared by the Group Health Association of America which describes form, more or less the same thing as the first page with somewhat different viewpoint I would like to run quickly through this whole sheath of material in order to run through what an HMO is, perhaps some of the advantages and disadvantages, point of view of consumers, point of view of providers, principally physicians, but also other providers as well HMO is a current catch -word phrase for what I think used to be called, until two or three years ago, prepaid group practice At you see they don't really differ substantially from a Health Maintenance Organization The principle of a Health Maintenance Organization by federal legislation now but following logically from development of practices in other areas Payment would be on a monthly charge and voluntary enrollment No one is forced to this kind of a system A prospective consumer should have freedom of choice to adopt this kind of program for him and his family or to stick with traditional service prac- tice of traditional methods in the community As stated here, what this means basically is if you are subscriber to HMO that you pay a periodic fee on a pre- sumably monthly basis and in exchange for this you get a more or less full range of services from out-patient visits to the office or facilities whatever it might be including x-ray, laboratory work, including also preventative services—immuniza- tions, periodic health reviews, includes also as part of the package the more traditional kind of Blue Cross coverage -Blue Cross, for example, for inpatient care and certain other features such as for which may or may not be written in regard to mental health care, dental care, perhaps certain other services What we are really talking about is a prepaid system that will take care of most health needs This isn't necessarily totally comprehensive, it is prohibitively expensive to provide complete dental care for example, to provide complete insurance against mental illness which is beyond a certain number of days per year, things not usually included One of the advantages of this kind of system is, depends on how it is set up and I might touch on that for a moment Such systems have been set up in a variety of different ways By providers themselves, by industrial out- fits, or municipal groups sponsored the original health insurance plan of NYC Mayor LaGuardia sponsored it, the city was much concerned with it as the city did not run the thing and it was turned over to another agency In other com- munities there are consumer operated cooperatives, consumer operated health plans which the representation on the board as it should be in most of these arrangements, representation on the board which substantially from consumers so here is opportunity for consumer to make a decision about what kind of cover- age should be provided for example, to decision that affect the comprehensiveness, the way service is provided and I think up to the point of directly affecting pro- fessional decisions, consumer input can be very helpful in providing a most satis- factory and helpfl kind of service at reasonable cost I think as you go over these points we have listed here on the first page, I think most of these have been covered by my remarks so far We have an integrated system more or less of total health care organized for the patient Care is available, would hope, with a fair amount of accessibility Certainly things like preventative measures as listed here make an important part of the services provided The organization assumes a risk for the care of patients It is to the advantage of the organization to keep the patient well and minimize illness Not to make it difficult to get into the medical care system so hopefully things will be picked up early rather than later for more serious and also more extensive hospitalization would be minimum Mentioned the possibilities of opportunities for input from the consumers into policy decisions One thing we did not mention was the increased opportunity to utilize from non MD personnel to provide appropriate kinds of services to keep the physicians doing what they do best The people who are less highly skilled, less highly trained, handle things that have been handled by physicians in other circumstances Finally, there is a system that potentially offers a better financial base so new equipment may be purchased for joint used by the whole group rather than by a limited number of single or a limited number of physicians operating by themselves I don't know if you are interested in how the physician looks at this, physicians look at it differently, it is depending on the physicians June 24, 1974 91 involved, but I think this does have some affect on the service itself There are advantages to the physician It has regular office hours Unquestionably, an ad- vantage I think much more important is the availability, ready availability, to health consultation, ready availability to laboratory, x-ray Time off for educa- tional leaves fits into regular office hours, also the support from clerical people and other non MD people in the system should enable the physician to concen- trate on the problems he handles best There are disadvantages This isn't for everybody The physician or the perspective patient, the consumer, some people don't want to be locked into a system How effective the' system is, undoubtedly cuts down on the freedom of the patient Freedom of choice of a physician if you sign up for this sort of thing there is some limitation on the physicians avail- able for the care Physicians also traditionally are independent, many of them like to work by themselves I think there is a question whether this is less per- sonal from the point of view of both the physician and the patient These are the general principles of the Health Maintenance Organization, advantages, disad- vantages I would urge all of you to glance at this handout we have Strongly sponsored by the federal government at the moment The HMO Act provides for financial support in three phases for development of such a program in a com- munity first for feasibility study which we are talking about now to study in depth to determine whether or not such an organization is a feasible development in this community for example This kind of feasibility study is exploration, determination to both satisfy the community organization and satisfy the grant- ing agency In this case this is a potentially useful and productive kind of organi- zation Beyond that, once that has been accomplished and determined we will go to the phase, the set of grants for the planning and things that go into developing this kind of complicated organization Finally in the last phase—money that can be made available through the federal government to get the thing started This is about what I have to say It is for information More will be heard of this Mr William Downing gave a progress report on the continuing studies of the restoration of the Old Court House The proposal would be to remove existing floors of the building and replace the old wood structure with a structural steel frame and concrete floor They believe this would create a 100 -year building and estimates a new proposed budget of $500,000 He also said he feels historical preservation is important to the community Mr MacNeil reported he and Mrs Livesay attended the Supervisors' and County Legislators meeting in Jefferson County and said Mrs Livesay is on the Program Committee They heard discussions on flood insurance program, HUD has defined 1600 communities, 1300 of which would be or have a possibility to be covered by flood insurance, Governor Wilson vetoed the bill for family services, establishment of local responsibility for Office for Aging, talk about recent de- velopment of field of drug abuse prevention, also on recent legislation affecting volunteer ambulance service, David Call gave a talk on more effective par- ticipation or partnership between the extension service and NYS and local government, services available to towns and counties for farm and home ad- ministration Mrs Livesay asked if anyone has any ideas for a program for the Super- visors' and County Legislators Association meeting to let her know and she asked for permission to attend that meeting in September She said at the meeting in Jefferson County they heard a talk about what grants are available to towns and counties and feel this is an area to be looked into , Mr MacNeil, said he, Mr Culligan, Mr Robey, Mrs Livesay attended a meet- ing on June 13 with Mrs Pettengill regarding human services at which time a job description was presented for a coordinator and a financial sheet The fund- ing was asked 1/8 city, 1/4 schools, 1/8 United Way and 1/2 County This office, if developed would be totally independent of any arm of government or concern in our community Mr Lee said he asked the Social Services and Health Committees to have a recommendation to the board of what posture will be taken pertinent to the consolidation of human services Mr Bruce, Administration, said the committee met June 18 and was devoted to discussion of the need for county policy with respect to staff leaves, etc He said some action will be forthcoming Also, work on the development of the 92 June 24, 1974 Administrative Code continues to progress and they will be asking for a com- mittee -of -the -whole on this Mr Dates, Budget, said they will be handing out a guide on revenue sharing this morning for the board's consideration and recommendations for the July 15 meeting They would like to hand out July 15 to all department heads so they can be returned during August They will be meeting with the Intergovernmental Relations Committee on the Tompkins -Cortland Community College budget Mr Culligan, Health, reported they met with Dr Ley and Ruth Dayhoff regarding Health Maintenance Organization, met with the Mental Health people and approved thi ee positions It looks like they will have a second psychiatrist which they have been without for about seven years Their next meeting will be held July 10 Robert Watros reported the Board of Health has been working on a problem for some time of disposing of sewer septic tank waste and at their last meeting they adopted a resolution recommending the board of Representatives to act immediately on designating and providing a septic tank pumping disposal facility and that the board provide a public operated and monitored land disposal site until a treatment facility is operational and Mr Watros asked the board to move forward with the establishment of some kind of temporary facility until a per- manent one is completed Chairman Lee said the Planning and Public Works Committee and Frank Liguori have this under consideration Mr Webster said Tompkins -Cortland Community College has instituted a Clerical Studies Program It is a one year program Also, the committee is con- tinuing preliminary discussions of a county youth bureau Mr Kerr added that the annual report of the DeWitt Historical Society was received Mr Holden said he attended a meeting of the GIAC Also, the Personnel Committee discussed staff leave of absence They will be working on this perhaps with the Administration Committee He mentioned CETA has $10,000 for edu- cational programs which could be changed but would have to go back to the state Regarding Mental Health positions, this is going to the board without com- mittee approval Regarding the PEP Program, have $26,600 more to spend Under the summer program—$7,500 more and would mean about 12 more jobs The total summer—about 170 jobs Chairman Lee stated he has written a memo to the Personnel Committee instructing them to immediately begin draft and consultation with the Administra- tion Committee on a policy for leave of absence, hopefully to be presented to this board at a future date Mr Kerr, Planning and Public Works, reported on the special meetings held to consider the offers in hand on the Boardman House property and have a resolution to discuss later in the meeting Also, there will be a resolution re- garding the Old Court House and a resolution in regard to air-conditioning in Building C Mr Miller, Public Safety and Correction, said they discussed policy of leave of absence and they decided to pass it on to the Personnel Committee A meeting regarding bottle legislation will be held July 15 with Chamber of Commerce, and others Mr MacNeil reported the department of Social Services is now located totally downtown The Food Stamp Program locally has been audited by the State He explained that 60% of the people who are on public assistance avail themselves of food stamps and only 25% who would be eligible that are not public assistance avail themselves The difficulty arises because people have to put up so much money a month in order to get perhaps $15 worth of additional food stamp dollars The committee instructed the Commissioner of Social Services to look into this matter Mr Murphy, Hospital Construction Committee, said they met Wednesday with Neil Fogle, a representative of Dr Rosenfeld He has summarized their recommendations as far as functional planning and space considerations are con- cerned at the hospital They are now in the process of reviewing some differences between what they feel is appropriate and what some department heads feel appropriate and he does not anticipate very many great differences of opinion June 24, 1974 93 So far Mr Fogle feels they have met with success in coming up with a figure that is close to the one they anticipated They have also prepared basic figures from the functional planning study to cover several different options which they are considering They will submit all details necessary to complete the financial feasibility study They feel they have a good set up now as far as staffing patterns for two of the options which they felt they would probably put out for pricing by the public accounting firms who are bidding They expect three proposals from three different firms and hopefully they will be able to get a time schedule and adopt one of the proposals to get the financial feasibility going Mr Dates, Industrial Development Agency, said Thursday there will be a meeting to sign the final papers on the Rothschild -Caldwell Project He also mentioned the four -county rail bill has been passed and this enables the four counties to continue operating and set up a vehicle with less red tape in case any railroads are disbanded until something can be formed to keep them going Mr Bruce spoke regarding the Southern Tier East Regional Planning and Development Board and said the board is not happy with the way they are oper- ating and don't feel they are getting as much for their money, and are concerned with the structure and kind of services The Budget Committee met and were presented with proposal of Broome-Tioga Counties This will be considered and discussed further RESOLUTION NO. 133—AUTHORIZING ARCHITECT TO PROCEED WITH DESIGN DEVELOPMENT AND CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENT PHASE FOR THE

1974 Mr Miller, Public Safety and Correction, said in reference to the mandate from the state on judges' salaries, there seems to be a lot of confusion They requested the County Attorney write the State for clarification There has been a lot of discussion on the District Attorney position because of the mandate to make the salary comparative to the judges They discussed and recommend that the board reconsider suggesting that the position of District Attorney be changed back to part time Also, Assistant District Attorney Seale Tuttle is leaving and the District Attorney would like to have a new assistant begin work possibly next week to work with him and learn the job Sheriff Howard spoke to them about insurance for errors and omissions and false arrest It was recommended that the

needs approval of the board Richard Murdock, County Drug Coordinator, gave them a fine report He said he held a meeting July 15th concerning bottle legislation in Tompkins County Since then he has contacted other counties to ascertain if there is any interest He mentioned that there is a folder on file with letters and clippings from Tompkins County citizens in support of having bottle legislation here in Tompkins County Mr MacNeil said he attended a gravel pit operators' meeting held July 25 It might appear that indications are small operators are going to be out of business in the near future if no amendments are made to a law passed as of June 15 There was a point meeting of the Social and Health Seivices Committees and proposed resolution for the delivery of human services in Tompkins County to be presented later in the meeting Also, pertinent to Social Services, the NYS De- partment of Social Services has reacted favorably to a series of draft proposals recently submitted by the department to handle day care operations in Tompkins County There is a possibility of subsidized and non -subsidized children being cared for in the state family day care homes Another suggestion is the County Social Services Department could be the sole licensing agent for all day care homes They have been informed by the New York State Social Services Depart- ment that we must have an informational and referral system in operation by October 15 They are presently in the process of looking into the requirements of such a program They have taken preliminary steps to explore the possibility of a local department of Social Services providing some money toward the operation of a senior citizens' center as well as through other agencies They met with the Department of Social Services, Division of Youth, Office of Aging, Social Security and Mental Health re what ramifications information referrals center in a co- ordinator's office might have There was a generally enthusiastic attitude on the parts of the heads of all those divisions, or their representatives, in this particular case He received a pre -retirement form for older people Older people need to be needed and they need work Mr Webster, Intergovernmental Relations, took action with respect to per- sonnel matters at TC3 and there will be resoltions presented by the Personnel Committee later in the meeting They met with Mr Cutia and Mr Desrochers from the New York State Division of Youth Mrs Livesay reported they met to discuss the proposal they requested of Mr Cutia of possible model for the county - city youth bureau She requested input from the board members on their feelings She also spoke about the New York State Division of Youth funds that are avail- able that the county is ehgible to receive but are not receiving Either the pro- grams are not being run or the programs that are being run don't know the tie in they have with the Division of Youth Funds available have been tripled By 1977 the county is going to have to have a comprehensive plan in order to receive the funds It appears now that the requirements are going to be that we must have a County Youth Bureau at that time in order to receive $4 50 per youth that will be available Mr Watros spoke about the problem regarding the opening of the new TC3 building Before the first floor can be occupied, there must be a certificate of substantial completion by the local architect There has been a considerable amount of money withheld by TC3 to the principal architect because of omissions and errors Consequently, the principal architect is not paid, the local firm either, August 12, 1974 115 and they are withholding the certificate However, the college program is not in jeopardy because they have the second floor They are hopeful the problem can be overcome soon and look forward to the opening in September Mr Miller said the Sheriff's Department had an official dedication of the new county radio system It is one of the most modern in the state Mr Dates reported on the four -county railroad committee There will be a resolution later in the meeting There is a technical workshop being held in New York City by the Interstate Commerce Commission Mr Wallace Rogers, Director of General Services from Cornell University, is going to attend The Industrial Development Agency met to receive and act upon an application from NCR which they passed on to the bonding attorneys but at this time they do not know if they are going to use this method of financing He explained that there is a difference between the Sewer Agency and Sewer Commission The Agency was established ten years ago and after gathering of data and facts, a Sewer Commission was formed After discussion, he said he will arrange for the Sewer Agency and Sewer Commission to report at the next board meeting in September He said perhaps the board might want to have more people from this board on the commission Mrs Livesay requested any study of the HMO feasibility include providing this service to every county resident She also said she would like to have the position of District Attorney to be full time at $30,000 and instead of just asking for a clarification would like to have this pursued more aggressively with the State The County Attorney spoke about the lawsuit against the Board on County Sewer District No 1 The thrust of their argument is they claim boundaries were arbitrarily drawn but the written history and minutes would indicate and show that the boundaries as this board approved and presented at the public hearing. in January or February, 1972 as they existed in the Town of Lansing were established then He said there was no petition to form a village until June 13, 1972 He said if any changes from the original county sewer district formation were made, they would have to be approved by the board and go before a public hearing and go to the Department of Audit and Control for their approval They plan to hold a public hearing anyway to update it because it has been 1% years since they submitted it and Lansing has changed that sewer rate because of addi- tional 800 units is decreasing by about 12 points Mr Stevenson, Chairman of the Hospital Construction Committee reported on their August 7th meeting with representatives from E D Rosenfeld Associates, Levatich, Miller, Hoffman, Fred Thomas Associates, and Price Waterhouse to re- view progress to date and set guidelines for future reports Their agenda also included a review of written questions raised by committee members and those actively involved in the hospital operation Questions centered on the report from the architectural firms (Levatich, Miller, and Hoffman, and Fred Thomas Associates) and the functional plan developed by their consultant firm (E D Rosenfeld Associates) The plan provides an in-depth, detailed functional space program for a Tompkins County Hospital To better implement these needs several alternative proposals were outlined The alternatives ranged from minor replace- ment to major renovation These were compared to a totally new structure A study of the area and its hospital needs protects for 1980, a 208 -bed medical/ surgical/obstetrical/pediatric hospital plus 15 beds for short-term psyciatric care A total of 223 beds This figure is 129 beds less than the 1969 recommenda- tion of the New York State Department of Health Rosenfeld Associates reasons are 1 1 The admission rate per 1,000 population in the primary and secondary service would be 133 admissions per 1,000 population, rather than the current national rate of 148 admissions per 1,000 population. 2 A newly developed hospital would capture approximately 85% of the admissions generated in the primary and secondary service area 3 The new Tompkins County Hospital patients would have an average length of stay of 7 days per admission, instead of the present 5.7 average length of stay per admission. This is because the patients presently staying in the hospital for a short period of time would be treated on an ambulatory basis and consequently the average length of stay of all remaining patients would increase This group 116 August 12, 1974 of patients is represented by the 15 admissions per 1,000 population deleted from this count as noted under (1). Although costs are only tentative pending further details (including a finan- cial feasibility study by Price Waterhouse) the architectural firms indicate that remodeling or renovation to meet both the needs of the community and the minimum standards set by the State may approximate 2/3 of the cost for a new building, at the present location and utilizing existing service facilities The Committee accepted the functional plan and authorized Price Water- house to compare two of the options for financial feasibility Occupancy will be based on 75% to 85% Mr MacNeil said he does not have a report on Ad hoc Committee of the Social Planning Council yet because they need more facts and information and would like a joint meeting perhaps in September It was Moved by Mr Webster, seconded by Mr Holden, That the resolution pertaining to Southside Center be withdrawn from the agenda Motion Carried RESOLUTION NO. 168—AUTHORIZATION TO EXECUTE RELEASE— SEYMOUR PROPERTY Moved by Mr Dates,

November 18, 1974 159 To date eight similar investigations have been conducted by highly qualified concerns In addition the New York State Health Department and the New York Bureau of Facilities Construction have been consulted Concurrently hospital certification standards have grown increasingly stringent Costs reported in the studies have ranged from a low of $13,000,000 (for renovation and additional construction) to a high of from $25,000,000 to $31,000,000 depending on the course slated Bed numbers ranged from a low of 215 to a high of 383 One year ago the Tompkins County Board of Representatives asked for an additional study that would put all past studies in proper perspective with respect to the health needs of the County, (1) that would meet current certification standards, (2) increase the efficiencies of operation, and (3) if possible, meet the limitations of Resolutions 299 and 303 of 1973 Thus, because of the magnitude of the investigation, the Hospital Construc- tion Committee engaged the services of two local architectural firms (x) who, in turn, engaged a firm of hospital and health services consultants (y) to assist them As the study progressed, the report of the New York Bureau of Facilities Construction of 1971 was constantly reviewed Certification standards could not be fully met unless unrealistic and exorbitant renovation was undertaken (x)—Levatich, Miller, and Hoffman Fred Thomas Associates (y)—E D Rosenfeld Associates (New York City) It, therefore, appeared highly desirable to study a number of alternative options that ranged from fractional renovation to a complete new structure The current report differs from its predecessors in that instead of specifying building design as such, its emphasis is on hospital functions and their interrelationships Once the principles or functions have been clearly delineated for Tompkins County—then—and only then can one properly evaluate actual construction Thus, the voluminous functional plan documents space needs, interrelation- ships of space, and staffing patterns Then the architects estimated construction costs (including escalations for the possible effects of inflation) Since a fi- nancial feasibility study is required by New York State with a Phase 2 appli- cation, such a study was made by Price Waterhouse & Co Concisely outlined, the Construction Committee drew its conclusions from the following sources (1) Past need studies, (2) The verification of need and projected bed requirements presented by E D Rosenfeld Associates, (3) The functional plan implications of that need, (4) The architectural implications, as outlined by the architects, of imple- menting the functional plan, and (5) The financial implications, as outlined by Price Waterhouse & Co of implementing the functional plan, including staffing The financial implications of operating the facility at projected occupancy levels of 75% and 85% were tested An analysis of each hospital department was made Their physical require- ments, staff, present and future status were investigated to determine whether the facilities were satisfactory for their designated function Need for new facilities appears in two broad areas The first is core facilities; i e surgical suite, Radiology, Laboratories, and Rehabilitation medicine Modern medical practice, current technology and the requirements of advanced equipment dictate relocation The physical constraints of existing building perimeters and floor to floor heights make it impractical to utilize the existing buildings for these functions The second is patient care areas, i e inpatient rooms and their required ancillary facilities Here the need for a new facility is not so obvious However, 160 November 18, 1974 some patient rooms are too small to perform certain necessary emergency pro- cedures and the same physical constraints referred to above seriously impede efficiency The patient care units could be renovated to eliminate the substandard size spaces, to satisfy the numerous New York Health Department mandates and code requirements, and to provide a more advanced level of health care How- ever, the physical effect of such a renovation involves additional nursing stations and a decrease in the number of beds per unit Accordingly, more staff is re- quired to care for fewer patients and inefficiencies brought about by physical constraints are compounded The need for new patient care units may not be as critical as for core facilities, but the advantages in terms of both health care delivery and operating efficiency is clear Options B-1, B-2 and B-4, at total project costs between $16 7 million and $18 5 million have several inherent problems in common First, they all require substantial interruption of services in their implementation The result is loss of revenues and reduced levels of health services during the construction phase Second, the resulting hospital will remain inefficient in terms of the quantity of staff required for successful operation Third, the facility would remain, to vary- ing degrees, outdated in terms of patient care Fourth and most important, the physical constraints of the existing building and the available locations for con- nection to a new core make it impractical to generate the functional relationships called for in the space program In defense of these options, they all utilize the existing power plant, utility lines and parking as well as nearly all of existing attractive buildings The "new building" options (A at $22 5 million, C at $20 6 million and D) all solve the inherent problems of the 'B' Options They all provide for the efficient, high level of medical care which Tompkins County needs Additionally, the Financial Feasibility Report indicates that a new hospital would operate without subsidy long before a renovated one Option 'D' has the additional ad- vantage of possibly being located near the population center of the County The cost of this single advantage, however, appears excessive Site acquisition, site development and utilities, roads, parking, and a central heating and air-con- ditioning facility will cost approximately 4 million dollars In addition, the delay would result in a cost escalation estimated at ten percent per year The resultant facility could cost up to six million dollars more than Option A (assuming a suitable site could be found) and would provide the same level of service as a building on the present site Option C requires the use of approximately 30,000 sq ft of an existing building The areas programmed to be in such renovated space are administra- tion, Educational Resource Center, Community Services, and portions of General Services The location of these spaces within an existing structure would in no appreciable way affect the level of medical service the total facility could pro- vide The advantages of Option A over Option C do not seem to justify the esti- mated two million dollar additional expense The impact of Option 'C' on the cost of hospital services is as follows The additional costs due to capital improvement would raise per day costs approximately 20% in 1979 This increase would occur over those caused by in- flation This impact would reduce to about 12% by 1987 and eventually to about 3% in 1998 Since the operation of this hospital would be without a deficit, no subsidy would be required for operation However, the deficit generated in getting into the new facility would have to be paid by the community at large The cost to the taxpayers of the community would be approximately $1 50 per $1,000 of assessed valuation for five years Approximately 20% of this additional tax would be to offset the deficit already existing By contrast, the 'B' Options would require a continuous tax subsidy to make up for operational deficits in addition to the subsidy for construction and renovation In our opinion, Option 'C' offers the best value to the people of Tompkins November 18, 1974 161 County by providing a facility which can provide for excellence in health service at the lowest reasonable cost In summary, the Hospital Construction Committee by presenting a complete Functional Plan tailored to the health needs of the community, specifies its choice of the options presented, and documents the Financial Feasibility of its recommendations for the consideration by Tompkins County Board of Represen- tatives The recommendation of this committee is predicated on the understand- ing that the Tompkins County Hospital's Board of Managers and adnunistration, having reviewed the entire report, finds the staffing patterns and space alloca- tions as projected fundamentally sound, feasible, and

Coordinator has endeavored to influence the development of community drug abuse program- ming The proliferation of separate program entities has been checked, and a communications network has been set up between the existing agencies which has enhanced service delivery and developed a sense of cohesiveness and mutual effort At the same time, the level of volunteer contribution has increased, in- cluding professional skills The Office has managed and accounted for the expenditures of public funds, evaluated the programming effort, and provided technical assistance to the state and federally funded programs m the community The office has not been limited to contract management issues only, but through the Drug Steermg Committee, it carrys out the functions of the planning, policy formulation, and evaluation of both the individual programs and the collective programming effort Through the Drug Steering Committee, a group of laymen and professionals, other com- munity resources have been mobilized For example, BOCES has developed a program of supportive drug education services to each of the school districts in the County at the urgmg of the committee, and with the guidance of the Coordinator The Office of the Coordinator is part of the Family and Children's Service, and has access to their supportive services, et g clerical, counseling, and ad- ministrative, as needed Crisis, treatment, and rehabilitation programs are presently operating at an apparently adequate level to the needs of the County There are alternatives available for ambulatory care, residential treatment, and crisis intervention These "drug agencies" make up the core of our programming effort, working directly with drug related problems The community effort to deal with drug abuse will not be effective until all human service agencies and institutions are doing their part There remains an all too prevalent attitude in the county that drug problems belong to drug agencies However, drug abuse problems are basically symptoms of human problems 256 Tompkins County, New York ANNUAL REPORT TOMPKINS COUNTY AIRPORT Submitted by Robert H King, Acting Manager The major accomplishments during

Clerk's Office Foremost was the retirement of the County Clerk, Elsie Boyd Wolverton Her retirement became effective on November 1, 1974, and on December 4, 1974, Governor Wilson appointed Lucille Grinnell, Deputy County Clerk for eight years, to succeed Mrs Wolverton for the term expiring December 31, 1975 Revenues also changed and for the first time showed a decrease m funds retained by the County for services rendered in the County Clerk's Recording and Motor Vehicle Offices Funds retained decreased by approximately 4 5% over 1973 This decrease was caused by a 7% drop in real property recordings, fewer Uniform Commercial Code fihngs, less Conservation licenses sold and a decrease in miscellaneous services performed, including less Motor Vehicle fees retained This undoubtedly reflects the economic situation of our country for the past year Revenues collected by various services rendered by the County Clerk's Office for 1974 are as follows Deeds $11,363 25 Mortgages 11,370 50 Recording other documents 9,893 25 Judgments 682 00 Sales Tax 8,322 25 Certifications 814 50 UCC Filings 11,873 75 Notary Fees 346 50 Passports 3,881 00 Naturalization 1,415 00 Conservation

balance deposited to the account of the New York State Commissioner of Motor Vehicles Summary of Fees RhPordiig Office $ 80,60875 Motor Vehicle Office 61,143 00 Total Fees remitted to County Administrator for 1974 $141,751 75 258 Tompkins County, New York The County Clerk is also responsible for the issuance of hunting and fishing licenses to the various City and Town Clerks within the County All monthly reports and fees collected are turned over to the County Clerk who then remits to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Total Sales of hunting and fishing licenses by City, Town and County Clerks for 1974 amounted to $72,861 00 of which $18,974 00 represents sales by the County Clerk's Office alone The Court schedule has continued to be quite busy with trial and special terms scheduled every month of the year Special terms are held on specified dates every month for both Supreme and County Courts and the trial terms are alternated between Supreme and County Courts with terms scheduled each month of the year Efforts are being made by the County Clerk's Association to have our New York State Legislature enact a bill to raise the fees charged for services rendered by County Clerk's Offices The statutory fees have not been increased since 1962 although operating expenses have increased tremendously over the past decade Such increases would help our offices to once again become self- supporting rather than being an additional burden to the local taxpayers i ANNUAL SYNOPSIS REPORT YEAR 1974 Tompkins County Veteran's Service Agency (Submitted

(Submitted by Robert L Howard) (Detailed report on file with Clerk of Board) The Tompkins County Sheriff's Department has once again had a tremen- dous increase in all categories of its activities in 1974 The county -wide Pohce Communication System is in full use and is a tremendous improvement over our old systom Teletype will soon be installed which will further enable us to work more effectively with other departments for the benefit of all our law abiding citizens Our county jail population for the year increased by over 150 inmates over 1973, a costly item in our budget The Youth programs of the department has increased in popularity Through these programs, we hope to cut down on law violations in the future among our young people Police cooperation between local agencies has once again resulted in several major crimes being solved We hope to continue these excellent relationships for the benefit of our Tompkins County citizens During 1974 the Junior Deputy Program continued bringing law enforcement education to 619 enrolled Junior Deputies In June the annual camp -out at Camp Barton brought 180 Junior Deputies from all over the county The coeducational weekend proved to be both exciting and worthwhile for both the Junior Deputies and those who served as counselors and teachers The Juvenile Officer again was extremely busy during 1974 as he tried to solve juvenile related crimes The Juvenile Officer made several appearances at P T A meetings held at area schools to give talks regarding juvenile problems, drugs and run -away children Juvenile Delinquency is still one of our major problems in Tompkins County We feel the vigorous efforts of our Juvenile Officer through such activities as the Junior Deputy program, Explorers and other youth activities has helped to com- bat the problem There was a total of 440 juvenile cases The 1974 boating season was a very safe season We feel that the patrol boat being on the lake every weekend and

Tompkins County, New York PROBATION DEPARTMENT AND FAMILY COURT ANNUAL REPORT — SUMMARY (Detailed Report on file with Clerk of Board) The 1974 Annual Report of the Tompkins County Probation Department discusses a multiplicity of areas pertaining to the operation and services of our Department We contmued to see the value of the utilization of volunteers in probation work, and continued to reap the benefits of their input, energies, and expertise In the Family Court area, the number of petitions signed continued a two year decline and the number of Intake cases mcreased by approximately 6% over the previous year We have continued to intensify our efforts at the Intake stage as we feel that there are many situations that can be effectively handled and adjusted without Court involvement The increased utilization of Intake was one of the primary reasons for the addition of a third Fanuly Court Probation Officer in 1974 This area also continued to demand perhaps the most highly skilled of our volunteers Receipts for Child Support again increased in 1974, amounting to $669,543 27 with the number of support cases rapidly approaching 1000 Probation Investigations completed m 1974 decreased for the second consecu- tive year and we continued our attempts to reduce the amount of time required to complete these reports During 1974, we supervised a total of 367 probation supervision cases with 131 of these passing from probation during the year, either by an improved or unimproved discharge, maximum expiration of sentence, transfer to another jurisdiction, or through placement in an institution, the last of these categories amounting to six individuals In conjunction with the last category, it is important to mention that we have continued in our behef that the great majority of our clients can best be dealt with on a local level through the utilization of existing community agencies and services In this vein, 1974 was the first full year of operation of the Proba- tion Department's Intensive Supervision Unit (House In The Country), a federal- ly funded program designed to work with youths 16-21 who have exhibited some degree of difficulty in functioning on their own and who otherwise might have been placed in an institution outside of their community During the year, we worked with twenty youths in this setting Although the program experienced some difficulties during the year, it is our belief that these can be effectively remedied and that the program can be a success and can provide a vital service to our community During the coming year, we will be faced with a complete evaluation of the program concept and implementation and the future existence of the program will be determined either by refunding by the Division of Criminal Justice Services, "institution- alization" by the County, or terminator of the project The past year saw the resignation of two Probation Directors, Leo Teeter who left to take a position with the State Division of Probation, and Stuart Grin- nell who resigned to attend graduate school The year closed out with Donald E Wilson as Probation Supervisor in Charge and on February 10, 1975, Mr Wilson was appointed Acting Probation Director The majority of the probation staff attended various courses during the year at the Division of Probation Training Academy m Albany, and we have plans to continue this on-going training during 1975 It should be mentioned that all costs incurred in conjunction with staff members attending the Training Academy are covered by the Division of Probation, the only cost to the County continuing to be the staff member's salary, a percentage of which is state -reim- bursed During 1975, we plan, among other things, to begin the implementation of a Criminal Court Diversion Project in local criminal courts, evaluate the Inten- sive Supervision Unit program for the purpose of possible continuation, compile a precedural manual which will encompass new State standards and guidelines, and attempt to further reduce the time needed to complete probation reports Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 271 ANNUAL REPORT COOPERATIVE EXTENSION ASSOCIATION OF

293 TOMPKINS COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY (Submitted by Howard R Brentlinger, Director) SUMMARY (Detailed report on file with Clerk of Board) STAFF Doubtless in part due to economic conditions we experienced no changes of professional staff during 1974 and minimal total turn -over We have sought to involve staff regularly in discussion of problems, decision making, and orientation — at appropriate levels — through general staff profes- sional, circulation, reference, and ad hoc meetings The general staff meetings have been attended from time to time by trustees, Friends of the Library of- ficers, fire department officials, consultant Dr Roger Greer, and Commissioner of Personnel Hugh Hurlbut Among conferences attended by staff were American Library Association, New York Library Association, New York State Division of Library Development Library Systems Conference, South Central Research Library Council annual meeting, and State Adult Independent Learner training sessions A supervisory training course for county first-line supervisors held in the library early in the year was completed by Miss Nygaard, Mrs Ruth A Miller, Mrs Ruth S Muller, Miss Hahner and Mrs Hautamemi The director is grateful to the Friends of the Library for supporting his attendance at the Syracuse Uni- versity School of Libiary Sciences seminar Information Problems in the En- vironmental Sciences, in June Since our opening on February 3, 1969 the duties of the director have shifted from 1/3 to 2/3 administrative The time is approaching when the director will be engaged entirely in administration and planning, rather than in "librarian" duties This is a logical consequence of the rapid growth in services BUILDING The children's room air conditioning unit became operational in time for the summer season, much to the relief of the staff No other major improvements were effected during the year, though Com- missioner of Public Works Howard Stevenson received recommendations from his engineering consultants on relighting the children's and meeting rooms All the square light fixtures in the building must eventually be replaced, as tubes can no longer be obtained FINGER LAKES LIBRARY SYSTEM 1974 was anoher fruitful year of system — central library cooperation The appointment of a new technical services librarian, and the creation of an outreach consultant position together with an appointment to this position were welcome developments A joint orientation meeting was held with both boards of trustees and our Friends board in February Miss McGinnies and system Assistant Director Gertrude Laird, together with other system and central library staff and trustees, visited a number of state legislators from our area in Albany in February, to apprise them of library legisla- tion supported by the Board of Regents and the New York Library Association This was part of a statewide project coordinated by the Association Unfortunately none of the legislation directly affecting system central hbraries which we were supporting succeeded The result is that inflation continues to erode our ability to purchase needed books and materials, and to respond to ever increasing public demand for our services 1 The director and Miss Laird attended the annual Library Systems Conference in Albany April 3-5, together with system trustee Richard Moon The director, 294 Tompkins County, New York Miss McGinnies, and Miss German attended the annual meeting of the South Central Research Library Council in Oneonta on October 24 The director also participated in two meetings of the Independent Central Libraries Association, held during the Systems Conference and during NYLA Our staff participated in the ten book meetings held during the year, and in the work of the point book selection committee and the film preview committee Several staff also attended the system annual meeting in October Mr Weitzel again handled the paper -work entailed in securing the state Central Library Development grant, which amounted to $19,739 51 The system formula grant was $18,349, up from $17,665 in 1973 This grant is based on a member library's expenditures in the preceding calendar year for books, periodi- cals, other library materials, and binding The special cash grant was $3,500 -- "in recognition of the unique status and responsibilities of the Tompkins County Public Library as the Central Library for the Finger Lakes Library System " A Special Purpose Grant not to exceed $1,000 was made to TCPL to cover the cast of producing the pilot series of 13 story hour programs developed by Mrs Mary Carey, system Children's Services Consultant, for presentation on TV station WCIC Assistant children's librarian Andrew Stevenson participated FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY My sincere thanks to President Caroline Barlow and her dedicated board, and to hundreds of other volunteers for their splendid contributions The director — and occasionally other staff — shared in board meetings as well as the annual meeting Library consultant Dr Roger L Greer, a professor at the School of Informa- tion Studies, Syracuse University, has written of our Friends "Another charac- teristic of this library organization that surpasses any other in the country in my judgment is the strength and dynamic quality of the Friends of the Library. This organization has reached the level of viability where it contributes significantly to the Library's program of services with money — operating out- reach programs, scholarslup aid, direct budget support for pilot projects, etc — and an enormous number of volunteer hours of work in the library " This is of course what we have been saying for many years, and the rein- forcement of our feeling by a distinguished outside authority is gratifying indeed' SPECIAL GIFTS In addition to memorial books A bequest from the estate of Jessie McDonald A bequest from the estate of Frances White A gift for the purchase of recordings of modern American music, from Mrs Joan Niles Sears A Jewish Publication Society subscription for ten book units from the Jewish Community of Ithaca A gift for the purchase of books from the Tompkins County Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs In addition, books have again been purchased with income from the William J Hassan (philately) and Byrl Jorgensen Kellogg (librarianship) memorials ALSO NOTED Our sincere appreciation again goes to the local press and radio for assistance with library publicity The Ithaca Journal was particularly helpful during the inaugural period of its new Leisure magazine Collection development continued to receive major attention, as we responded to patron requests more actively than ever before We believe that record use attests to the validity of this priority The staff also receives many expressions of thanks from individual patrons We also believe up-to-date, relevant collections to be a prerequisite for suc- Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 295 cessful outreach work Thanks to the involvement of the Friends and the new Finger Lakes Library System outreach consultant, our efforts become more effec- tive with each year of experience This cooperation is being further articulated and defined during 1975 Weeding of the collection, a vital function, proceeded at a slightly accelerated pace, though we are far behind due to other pressures All professional staff and our trainee, plus one system staff member were involved, as well as clerical back-up Postage and freight charges were added to all shipments from our principal book supplier — one more instance of the inflation spiral Book, magazine, phono- record, and most other costs rose significantly The director continued to serve as secretary of the Tompkins County Jail Programs Advisory Committee Assistant Director Nancy McGinnies has provided notes on a few of her projects During 1974 I enjoyed serving on the Ad Hoc Planning and Advisory Commit- tee of the South Central Research Library Council The purpose of the committee is to keep the Board of Trustees current on hbrary conditions in the region and to suggest actions which it might take to investigate, solve or alleviate problems, and to propose long range plans for the Council to the Board of Trustees I also served on the Resources and Advocacy Committee of the Tompkins County Human Services Coalition until its reorganization into a smaller working group in October Since then I have attended several meetings of the "Area of Interest" Groups and other informal groups concerned with the possible develop- ment of an Information/Referral Service The "NOS" staff committee met only a few times during the year We still have not fully developed methods to rapidly locate, replace and/or borrow missing library materials However, the several processes and procedures developed in 1973 have proved to greatly aid our efforts to fill patrons' requests and to supply an adequate stock of materials in demand I continue to do a modest amount of original cataloging primarily of materials of local interest, both current and historic Much of my time during 1974 went into selecting materials for and weeding the adult nonfiction collection and in supervising the trainee's first assignments of weeding A number of statistical reports, surveys of various types, and requests for information about our collec- tion and/or procedures always take a considerable amount of time SOME FUTURE NEEDS 1 Last year we reported the interior lighting problems still existed — under illumination in nearly all areas except the circulation desk, and gross waste in changing tubes and ballasts in the "illuminated ceiling " We have recently learned that the County Commissioner of Public Works will soon have quotations on re- placing the now unobtainable square light fixtures in the children's and meeting rooms If this trial project gives satisfactory results we recommend replacement throughout the library as quickly as possible 2 The air conditioning problem throughout the library has not been salved, despite the satisfactory result achieved in the children's room with the new air conditioner there The air movement problem still results in "dead air" in many locations, with resultant loginess and headaches among staff, and EXTREMELY oppressive atmosphere in the meeting room when more than a few gather This was very apparent and embarrassing during 1974, with more capacity audiences than ever before The children's room installation has NOT alleviated the air movement or cooling problems in other areas It should not be necessary in a modern building to run fans during much of the year In addition to fundamental improvements in the system, windows which can be opened on warm days are needed on the lower level 3 On February 3, we observed our fifth anniversary of opening m the present building, which we have now substantially outgrown Actually library expansion to meet program and storage needs was indicated a year ago; it is even more necessary now The director considers the children's department the most serious 296 Tompkins County, New York space problem, services and shelves need to be brought together and areas ex- panded Congestion in circulation, reference, audio -visuals, young adult, storage, office, and other areas is more and more a handicap to effective service Expansion will necessarily be combined with rearrangement to achieve maximum efficiency for the next era of service The professional staff has given the problem con- siderable thought already 4 With no new staff allowed by the County Board of Representatives for 1975, it is necessary to scrutinize priorities more rigorously than ever It may well be necessary to reduce, eliminate, or restrict further growth of services which our constituents have come to feel are normal components of a good library, and which have contributed significantly to the high esteem in which the library is held We may need to curtail reference, reserve, film, memorial book, or out- reach services due to sheer physical inability to handle these in addition to daily circulation and reference work loads this despite whatever operational im- provements we may effect to improve productivity and refine priorities Creation, funding, and filling of paraprofessional "library assistant" positions in the refer- ence department is an immediate need 5 The questions of Board of Trustee — county jurisdiction should be resolved during 1975 with the minimum amount of ambiguity, with the development of the County Adnurustrative Code Guidelines delineating authority are needed for the library, as for other county agencies with boards of trustees or managers Though the New York State Education Law states that "public libraries shall be managed by trustees" (260), the library administration has — so to speak — been "caught in the middle between two superiors" since 1968, adding to the stress when administration and staff energies are desperately needed to handle increas- ing demands for public service and to plan for the future 6 The outstanding questions relating to county vs library jurisdiction over building staff are a part of the questions considered under #5 A clear under- standing is also needed of what services are to be provided by the Department of Public Works with its personnel and resources, and what items are to be included in the library's budget A county building staff member should be on call at all hours the library is open This is not now the case FINALLY It has been a privilege to work with Chairman Jack;Carpenter and his Board of Trustees during 1974 I much appreciate the time they have given and the interest they have shown in meeting their responsibilities My thanks also to Assistant Director Nancy McGinnies for her dedication and strong support Her contributions in the areas of finance, acquisitions and ad- ministration as in many other ways were invaluable The staff has worked very hard in the face of extreme pressure on services and consequent lack of opportunity to simply take enough time out to plan for greater efficiency, and to revise priorities for the immediate and longer term We made greater efforts than in the past, and welcomed the opportunity to review our situation with an outside consultant, who was able to see the entire forest somewhat more clearly than we who are so deeply involved could do This is the 19th annual report presented by this director Some statistics indicating the growth since his arrival in August 1956 are included elsewhere It was truly a different world in those days trying to operate on the second floor of the obsolete brick edifice Ezra Cornell had built 90 years before? In circulation (509,328) we are now among the top public library system cen- tral libraries in the state outside of New York City and Buffalo During this period book holdings have increased from 35,573 to 147,757, including system central library titles, reference questions from 665 to 11,777, patron registrations from 9,693 to 27,046, reserves from 1,241 to 12,274, staff from seven full-time equivalent to about 35, and budget from $23,101 to $461,003 The Tompkins County Library became the central library of the Finger Lakes Library System, tremendous col- lection development was stimulated by central book aid from the state, and sup- port from Friends and public funds, a new central library building was pro- grammed and built, with consultant assistance from Director Joseph B Rounds Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 297 of the Buffalo and Erie County Public Library, and the State Division of Library Development, and the County of Tompkins assumed its logical role as the library's principal support — accepting responsibility both for construction and for annual operation The new building and expanded staff have made possible the develop- ment of various "outreach" services — many in cooperation with the system, the Friends, and other agencies We, and the community, are also indebted to the system staff and to the Friends for their manifold contributions which have en- hanced the library's effectiveness over the years I am honored to have partici- pated in this process, with a succession of dedicated trustees, Friends, staff, and oui responsive constituency A new era in our history brings tremendous challenges and commensurate opportunities I look on the library as a helping, coalescing, civihzing agent, making possible informed decisions and solutions to personal and societal prob- lems and concerns I believe that continuing our policy of "neutral activism" — that functions consciously during collection development, delivery of services, publicity, interrelating with other agencies, and in various other ways — will justify the cost of public library service when passivity and emphasis on the purely z ecreational will not suffice to generate the support needed I hope for the Board of Trustees, the administration, and the staff the suc- cess and satisfactions we have experienced multiplied manyfold ANNUAL REPORT

Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 299 1974 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 following 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 government —Provide technical service in planning and zoning matters for local govern- ment, 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 during the year effectively utilizing specialized talent, often on a part-time basis, to ac- comphsh special tasks In the interest of brevity, the major activities of the Planning Department are listed in excerpt form Comprehensive Planning Program Activities in the development of an areawide comprehensive plan continued with financial assistance from the US Department of Housing and Urban De- velopment 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 General Plan are done "in house" without the need for contractual con- sulting service, State and Federal grants, in effect, reduce the County Planning Department's budget by that amount In addition, the Planning Department re- ceived special State and Federal funding for a Flood Plain Management Study ($15,000), for an Economic Growth Center Study of the Route 13 Corridor ($13,000) and a Surface Water Drainage Study ($14,000) The first two of these have been completed and published The latter is still underway The following reports were completed and published during the year — Housing, Phase III — Human Resources, Phase III — Community Facilities, Phase II — Land Use u —Policies Plan, Phase II — Flood Plain Management Study (1) —Ithaca -Cortland Rt 13 Growth Center Study — Feasibility Study, Crosstown Road, Ithaca Urban Area (2) (1) and (2) Prepared by Consultants 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 toward achieving the goals It will also serve as a County development policy The policies plan is preliminary at this time The County Planning Board is taking a leading role m helping to draft the plan Public and governmental review and 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 "Coalition" with representation by each municipality and the major organizations and agencies active in functional planning seems to be working quite well The Planning Board 300 Tompkins County, New York will soon consider a recommendation that the County Charter be amended to re- flect the "Coalition" concept The Board meets on the second Wednesday of each month Attendance and participation is good The Board has Standing Committees on Transportation, The Policies Plan, Board Structure, and Housing There are also Ad Hoc Committees on Fall Creek Recreation Designation and County Historical and Landmarks Program Proposal The Board is also sponsoring a County -wide Ad Hoc Committee on Youth Services and Recreation Special Board reports on "Office of the Aging" and "Crosstown Road Concept" were presented for consideration of the Board of Representatives The Planning Board sponsors periodic Planning Forums to dissimulate informa- tion and receive input A Forum on the subject of "Environmental Controls and How They Affect Land Use" was well attended and stimulated considerable dis- cussion Southern Tier East Regional Planning and Development Board and the Appala- chian Development Board Tompkins County continues to be an active member of the Southern Tier East Regional Planning and Development Board, an Appalachian Region oriented 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 investment plan which helps to identify and establish priorities for the funding of special projects by the Ap- palachian Regional Commission Tompkins County has done quite well in re- ceiving favorable consideration for Appalachian grants on several projects in- cluding Tompkins -Cortland Community College, the Cayuga Heights waste water treatment plant, Challenge Industries, child development programs, the primary care centers, water, sewer, access road, and fire safety pond at the Industrial Park, and the Groton Health and Senior Citizens Center The main thrust of the regional program is in the assistance in Appalachian 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 Recently 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 interaction between the counties in- volved, which include Tompkins, Cortland, Chenango, Delaware, Otsego, Broome and Tioga, with Cortland and Schoharie Counties added because of their designa- tion as Appalachian counties As a result of this study, a plan has been com- pleted for restructuring of the Regional Planning Board and organization with headquarters combined with the Broome County Planning Department in Bing- hamton The plan will go into effect in 1975 Local Planning Assistance The Planning Department continued to provide local planning assistance to local municipahties at their request Under the provisions of Section 239 of the General Municipal Law, the Planning Department reviewed 36 official referrals for proposed zoning changes or developments which were within designated areas of possible impact with other municipalities or County and State facilities Ap- propriate recommendations were made In addition, several informal requests were received for review and comments The department also assists local govern- ments in their review of special projects under the provision of local land use control regulations There is wide opportunity to perform a useful service in assisting munici- palities in their planning and zoning activities Due to a continued 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 Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 301 Special Planning Studies In order to assist local municipalities in obtaining a better understanding of flood hazards and to assist them in making application to the federal government for a flood insurance program, the Planning Department 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 for the study The report was released early in 1974 The report included a recommended flood plain ordinance which may be adopted by local governments and provides an initial identification of the 100 -year flood zone within each municipality The Department assisted municipalities with flood insurance applications To date the Town and Village of Dryden, City of Ithaca and Town of Ulysses have been declared eligible for flood insurance Others will follow in 1975 A complementary study, through State and Federal funding, is underway by a consultant to serve as a handbook for municipalities to assist them in the review of designs for surface drainage at subdivisions, site developments, etc A model surface drainage ordinance and guidelines for review are also presented The report will be available early in 1975 At the request of the NYS Department of Transportaton and its federal counterpart, the Department completed an Economic Growth Area Study (Rt 13 corridor from Ithaca to Cortland) with 100% funding A consultant was employed to assist in the study activities in Cortland County The report identifies the eco- nomic advantages of the proposed new Rt 13 Corridor Copies of the report live been presented to the Board of Representatives Project Planning The Planning Department continued to assist the Board of Representatives and County departments in initiating and carrying out special project plans These include the following The Department continued activities to assist the Planning and Public Works Committee in relation to proposals to provide increased office space for County government functions Alternate space programs for the Old Court House and the New Court House were developed to provide a base for selection of a Use Program for the Old Court House Architectural Planning for the preservation of the Old Court House has proceeded through the design phase by the architect The Department assisted the DeWitt Historical Society and the Office of Econo- mic Opportunity in their relocation to other quarters and submitted periodic reports to the US Department of HUD in connection with the grant for relocation and restoration of the Old Court House The ultimate disposition of the Boardman House has not yet been resolved The Department assisted the Planning and Pubhc Works Committee in their efforts to seek out a valid use for the structure It is quite likely that the Board- man House issue will be settled in 1975 The Planning Department continued to assist the Airport Manager m the packaging of proposals for Federal, State and Appalachian Regional Commission funding for the control tower, the instrument landing system, the removal and relocation of the WHCU radio tower, and crash, fire and rescue equipment The instrument landing system and control tower are completed and in operation Removal and relocation of the WHCU radio tower will also be completed early in 1975 The Planning Department continued to assist the Industrial Development Agency m 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 Administration for the extension of public water and sewer and the construction of a fire safety pond have been approved and grants assured In addition, the Department 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 NYS DOT 302 Tompkins County, New York The State and the Appalachian Regional Commission have agreed to fund the construction costs provided that the County purchases all necessary rights-of-way and provides the engineering service The Department assisted consultants in the preparation of a (20 -year) master plan study of the Airport under Federal, State and Appalachian Regional Com- mission funding, with modest local funding The master plan will be completed early in 1975 The Department assisted in the review and comment on the Rt 13 corridor proposal between Ithaca and Cortland, and served in a coordinator capacity in relation to the combining of access driveways at the intersection at Rt 13 and Triphammer Road The Department also reviewed and commented on the proposal for the improvements to the Octopus, including the new Rt 96 cor- ridor from downtown Ithaca to the vicinity of the hospital This project has a high State DOT priority and is slated for construction start about 1978 Although the Rt 13 corridor is not slated for early construction, there will continue to be considerable activity, particularly through a special task group appointed by State DOT to make recommendations on alternate proposals A fourth Agricultural District was established by the County Board of Repre- sentatives in the Town of Lansing The Planning Department plays a leading role in the preparation of plans, packaging of proposals and in the administration of agricultural district proposals The Department assisted the consulting engineer retained by the Board to pre- pare a Feasibihty Study on a Crosstown Road in the Ithaca Urban Area The plan was presented at several public meetings to obtain public reaction and input Generally speaking, the plan did not receive much public support and further study is needed Participation in Other Community Planning Activities and Organizations The Planning Department continued with active participation and cooperation with many organizations including the following — The Commissioner of Planning serves as the Secretary of the County Water Agency The Water Agency was not active during the year — 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 has now been officially established by the Board The Sewer Agency the comprehensive sewerage master plan for the entire county an indepth study on the opportunities 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 are well underway The report will be completed in 1975 and is 100% funded by NYS Department of Environmental Conservation —The Commissioner of Planning participated on a regular basis with the Ad Hoc Committee on Human Resources Planning The committee developed an organizational plan for improved coordination of the major activities in the human services arena The plan was implemented near the end of the year The Planning Department will provide planning assistance on an on-going basis — A staff member serves on the County Area Beautification Council — The Planning Department provides staff assistance to the County Environ- mental Management Council The Planning Department's budget allocation for environmental planning is $12,000, of which $6,000 is reimbursed by New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Major effort during the year was the preparation of an inventory of open spaces and the identification of unique natural resources and the preparation of an environmental impact assess- ment framework — The Planning Commissioner is an ex officio member and Acting Secretary of County Sewer District No 1 and actively participated in Commission meetings He also serves as a member of the County Industrial Development Agency — The Planning Commissioner serves as Chairman of the County Transit Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 303 Committee which is overseeing a County -wide transit study under the direction of Professor Arnim Meyburg (Cornell) through a special federal grant A report should be completed in 1975 — 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 opportunity to better understand the concerns, needs, and desires of peoples and organizations — The Planning Commission also serves on the Tri -County Solid Waste Re- covery Committee and the Cayuga Station Power Generating Assessment Steering Committee, and functions as the secretary of each The former committee is spon- soring a 100% State funded solid waste recovery study and includes Cortland and Cayuga Counties The latter is sponsored by the Board of Representatives to assess certain economic, physical and social impacts of the proposed Cayuga Station generating plant.
