There is no further action that can be taken within the structure of the Human Rights Law There is nothing further to be done at this time Chairman Kerr stated the County Board being a legislative function does not have responsibility or authority in the judicial field Therefore, there are several instances in the past where this board has been extremely tolerant of time and subject matter that has come before this board The Board will no longer con- tinue to listen to complaints of or in the judicial area He asked everyone in the future to carefully select their subject matter and bring before the board subject matter relating to or pertaining to only the responsibility of this board which is in the legislative field However, he would encourage people at least one time if they have a comment or complaint in other areas to bring it to the board's atten- tion and it will be considered but no longer will this board listen to continued com- plaints of the same nature in areas where they have no authority and no re- sponsibility Mrs Betty Muka made a complaint regarding the Sheriff Nancy Meyer spoke in favor of renovation of the Old Court House Ms Carol Sisler on behalf of the

in historic pa enervation for the Old Court House He feels a workable plan could be adopted whereby they would be fulfilling obligation to historic preservation of Old Court House and also solving to some extent problem of more space He could support a plan to remodel that would not exceed $360,000 minus $162,500 granted by HUD leaving balance of $197,500 which would be county's share of

1971 pursuant to the General Municipal Law #895-b Through the establishment of this Agency, it is our goal to aid all commerce and industry in the County, or which might come into the County, in order to promote and develop a broad tax base and increase job opportunities for the benefit of the County and its various political subdivisions While the Industrial Development Agency law specifically exempts Agency from all State and local taxes, it is our policy to require payments m heu of all local taxes and special assessments However, it is within the scope of powers of the Industrial Development Agency to waive the sales tax and at the same time collect in lieu thereof an lamount equal to the local share of said tax which monies will be distributed as if collected as sales tax revenues This modification of policy was read to the Board of Representatives at its regular July 14, 1975 meeting In order to en- courage new commerce and industry in Tompkins County and remain competitive with other areas in New York and other States, this modifi- cation of policy will be considered by the Agency at an early date The Agency, from its inception, has and will I continue to provide capital funds to those businesses qualifying for an issue of Industrial Revenue Bonds This pohcy has enabled us to help' Morse -Borg Warner, NCR and Rothschilds to expand in the Ithaca area and has provided a significantly broader tax base for the City, Town of Ithaca, Town of Lansing, the school districts serving those areas, and 'Tompkins County It is our policy to use Revenue Bonds to attract new manufacturing and research to the area which will not only broaden the tax base but will provide a variety of employment for area residents Since our Agency and interest covers the entire County, any business within the boundaries of Tompkins County may, if eligible, apply for assistance Mr Dates also reported the Budget and Administration Committee had met with the Intergovernmental Relations Committee of this Board and the Education Committee of the Cortland Board for TC3 budget. July 14, 1975 89 Mr Webster, Intergovernmental Relations Committee, said they met July 14 and would have several resolutions Mr Holden, Personnel, reported they met July 9 with CSEA officers of

Commissioner Hurlbut's attendance at Labor Relations meeting in Washington Mr MacNeil, Planning and Public Works, highlighted from the minutes sent to board members He placed the summary of the Airport Master Plan on the table until the August meeting when they will ask for a sense of the board on the implementation of the plan A meeting will be held July 15 to discuss a possible Airport Day On June 26 the committee heard a proposal for a sports center and motel development at the Airport by Mr Angelo Petito Mr Petito and his attorney Stanley Tsapis are here to ask for a sense of direction from the board Mr Tsapis and Mr Petito discussed the proposal which will involve leasing land at the Airport which is owned by the County It will present substantial legal problems, and they are at the point where substantial expenditures will have to be made by the developers They are talking about a motel, ice skating facility, indoor ice skating, an eighteen -hole golf course, an indoor tennis facility, swimming pool, bowling, etc Mr MacNeil said the airport has lost money for the last twenty years, there are many good things in the Airport Master Plan, perhaps this type of economic development might be beneficial to bring additional revenues and get the airport out of the red He suggested tabling the proposal for a month Mr Haight, Public Safety and Correction, said they would ask that the resolution establishing the County Clerk's salary be on the agenda Mr Watros, Hospital Governance Committee, reported that arrangements had been made wtih Attorney John

items determine the total amount and the contents of an honest and fair budget of government First is the needs and wants of the people so governed and second is the ability of those people to pay for those goods and services as provided by their government It is the duty of governmental bodies in general and this County Board of Representatives in particular, to determine what are the vital, the critical, the real needs of our county's people and to provide, insofar as possible, for the fulfill- ment of these needs It is also the duty of this county board to listen attentively to the wants of the people These wants are being continually and capably expressed by citizens of our community to this board in terms of their definition of a "need" for their organization, group or clientele These individuals, organizations or groups are rarely, if ever, concerned as to the source of the requested money so long as it is provided — hopefully by somebody else Again, it is the duty of this county board to determine the needs and wants of the community, to sort out and reject those which do not contribute to the survival or the improvement of the community and to set priorities and limits with all acceptable needs and wants commensurate with the taxpayers' ability to pay for this subdivision of government The year 1975 in Tompkins County has seen unemployment rise to an alarm- ing percentage of our total work force Increasing costs in the marketplace have placed additional burdens on everybody's available dollars These two factors in our area should clearly point the direction for budget making for the coming year of 1976 Principles to consider are Carefully examine and determine the needs of the community, establish priorities and fund those winch contribute directly to the survival and improvement of the community and its people; be prepared to eliminate some present budget items which do not meet the criteria above because of limited or narrow application or of historical needs or wants no job August 11, 1975 101 longer existent, and finally to be fair with all workers m the community, keep all expenditures for personnel services at a conservative, comparative level con- sidering our 1975 budget and the county's total employment situation In summary, to so build the 1976 budget that our county board will show ex- treme compassion for our employees and even more so for our taxpayers and providers within a framework of real government efficiency and economy " He also said Donald Franklin from the Assessment Department was present to

A meeting of the Social Services Committee will be held November 5th at 8 a m and board mem- bers are invited to discuss the resolution WHEREAS, there exists a need for federal and state leadership in legislation for social services reform by answering to the actual human needs of clients, WHEREAS, local government has been forced to the brink of bankruptcy by skyrocketing welfare costs resulting from massive, uncontrollable and often im- possible to justify federally and state mandated public welfare programs, and WHEREAS, there presently exists a chaotic proliferation of uncoordinated, ineffective and overly expensive public welfare programs eminating from a federal and state bureaucratic philosophy that believes more is better — develop bigger programs and spend more money — and, WHEREAS, the compelling and urgent need to establish a responsive, simpli- fied and economical welfare system overshadows any other domestic issue, now therefore be it October 27, 1975 127 RESOLVED, That the federal and state governments assign first priority to welfare reform at their next scheduled legislative sessions, and RESOLVED, That the federal and state governments favorably consider and enact the following recommendations for positive action, designed to alleviate the immediate critical financial and administrative plight of local government, RESOLVED, further, That upon passage, the Chairman of the Board of Repre- sentatives of Tompkins County forward to all elected officials representing this county a copy of this resolution thereby emphasizing that Tompkins County feels that relief from Federal and State mandates is necessary for our continued well being CHANGES IN FEDERAL MANDATES: 1 Amend the 30-1/3 Work Incentive Allowance to AFDC Recipients WHEREAS, Title 45, Chapter II, Part 233 — Code of Federal Regulations and the Social Security Act Section 402 (a) has mandated a work incentive allowance (30-1/3 income exemption) for AFDC recipients which does not include a mone- tary or time limitation on entitlement to such benefits, thereby creating case situa- tions where many welfare recipients covered by the 30-1/3 incentive allowance are over compensated at the taxpayers' expense, be it further RESOLVED, That the present federal work incentive allowance be amended to provide that an AFDC mother's gross earned income and public assistance pay- ments combined cannot exceed the state's established Medicaid income level for a comparable size family, and be it further RESOLVED, That the 304/3 work incentive allowance contain provision to limit such benefits to a maximum of three months 2 Repeal the 10% Federally Imposed Limitation on Restricted Payments in the AFDC Cases WHEREAS, there now exists a federal limitation on restricted payments in the form of direct payments to landlords and utility companies to 10% of the number of persons in cases receiving federal participating unrestricted cash payments only, plus the unduplicated number of children for whom ADC -FC pay- ments were made during a given month, and WHEREAS, application of this complex formula denies counties and states federal reimbursement when shelter and utilities are paid directly to the pro- vider as a result of a recipient's mismanagement, or misappropriation of cash assistance, and WHEREAS, the 10% limitation imposes a gross unfair penalty on localities and the state for insuring that providers of services to recipients are paid, now therefore be it RESOLVED, That the 10% limitation be immediately repealed 3 Impose an immediate Moratorium on the Implementation of Any New Federally Mandated Programs WHEREAS, the serious cost and administrative consequences of implementing untested welfare program concepts is clearly evident from past experience, and WHEREAS, federal social services' programs are often mandated upon locali- ties without sufficient lead time and after a county has adopted its annual operating budget, now therefore be it RESOLVED, That a moratorium be placed on the implementation of any new federally mandated program, and RESOLVED, further, That whenever a federally mandated welfare program is imposed in the future, after a county budget has been adopted, the total operating costs for the balance of that year shall be at full federal expense until the follow- ing year 4 Able -Bodied AFDC Recipients (Adults) Should be Assigned to Public Work Relief Protects WHEREAS, there already exists in New York State a Work Relief Program for employable Home Relief recipients unable to secure employment in the regular economy (New York State Social Welfare Law — Section 385 10), 128 October 27, 1975 WHEREAS, the aforementioned public Work Relief Project is designed to maintain and develop an individual's job skills through useful employment in states, cities, towns, villages or other non-profit public service organizatons and, WHEREAS, there are proper safeguards within the present state Work Relief Program to insure that persons assigned will not replace or perform any job ordinarily and actually performed by regular workers, now therefore be it RESOLVED, That the provisions stipulated in New York State's Work Relief Program be expanded to include able-bodied, adult AFDC recipients under ap- propriate circumstances which insure reasonable assignment of such individuals 5 Federal Financing of Supplemental Security Income Program Medical Costs for All Cases Which Became SSI Eligible After January lst, 1974 WHEREAS, implementation of the Supplemental Security Income Program on January 1st, 1974, contained provision limiting the local share for payments to aged, blind and disabled cases to the amount spent by counties in 1973, and WHEREAS, from January 1st, 1974, there has been a tremendous increase in SSI cases whose Medicaid expenses counties are obligated to pay, thereby grossly increasing local medical expenditures far above the 1973 hold harmless level, now therefore be it RESOLVED, That the federal government fully finance all medical costs for those SSI cases which became active on or after January lst, 1974 6 Eliminate the Separation of Services Administrative Structure WHEREAS, the administrative structure known as Separation of Services has since its inception been cumbersome, inefficient and, in fact, a system which greatly contributes to the morass of bureaucratic red tape, and WHEREAS, the almost total absence of a responsive and consistent source of contact between recipient and staff has seriously weakened case management controls, RESOLVED, That the federally mandated Separation of Services' system be abolished and replaced by a client -caseworker caseload concept similar to that previously in effect PROPOSALS FOR CHANGES IN STATE MANDATES: 1 The State Should Not Superimpose Options on Basic Federal Welfare Pro- gram Requirements WHEREAS, the State of New York has at times greatly expanded on basic federal welfare program guidelines and benefits, thereby imposing further fiscal and administrative demands on counties, most notably with respect to the Medi- caid and Child Health Assurance Programs, now therefore be it RESOLVED, that the state should immediately adopt a pohcy for imple- menting new mandated programs on the basis on minimum federal requirements, RESOLVED, further, That a temporary State Commission, including ap- propriate local representation, be established to review' all existing State Regula- tions, with a view toward amending those which may be contributing to unneces- sary program expenditures 2. More Severe Sanctions for Those Refusing to Work WHEREAS, present regulations allow, subject to certain time limitations, pubhc assistance payments to employable individuals who willfully terminate employment or intentionally reduce their earning capacity, and WHEREAS, employable persons who fail to report far an employment inter- view or accept a legitimate job offer, also subject to certain time limitations, are allowed welfare, and WHEREAS, such provisions dull an individual's incentive to work when the availability of welfare payments is almost immediate, now therefore be it RESOLVED, That any employable person who willfully terminates employ- ment or intentionally reduces his or her earning capacity should not qualify for welfare payments, and RESOLVED, further, That a single, employable individual who did not quit 1 October 27, 1975 129 a job or intentially reduce his or her earning capacity should be entitled to a maximum of 30 days' public assistance 3 Terminate Public Assistance Payments to Recipients When a Local Agency, After a Hearing, Has Determined That the Individual No Longer Qualifies for Benefits (Repeal Section 358.8 (2) C1 State Social Welfare Law) 1 WHEREAS, the Fair Hearing Regulations provide for continued uninterrupted public assistance to cases which have already been found ineligible for aid by local agencies until a State Hearing is held and a decision rendered is procedural- ly and financially costly, and WHEREAS, there is an appropriate local mechanism for conducting an ad- ministrative review of chent appeals, RESOLVED, that once a local determination is made to discontinue assistance and following an internal administrative review, public assistance payments should be terminated immediately to eliminate continued payments to ineligible recipients (The State's formal Fair Hearing would, of course, be held at a later date for a final case decision ) 4 The Medicaid Program Should be Completely Administered by Either the Social Services Department or State Department of Health WHEREAS, the divided responsibility between Departments of Social Serv- ices and Health in Administering Medicaid has contributed to fragmented services, duplication of authority and unprecedented increases in program costs, and WHEREAS, there is virtually no organized, unified state system for Medicaid Program monitoring, from the standpoint of either costs or quality care, RESOLVED, That either the Department of Social Services or the State Health Department be designated as the single state agency responsible for Medi- caid Program administration — including the promulgation of medical rates and fees 5 Replace Cash Assistance For Rent and Utilities With Voucher Payments WHEREAS, the present public welfare system encourages continued de- pendency by making generous, unrestricted cash benefits available, RESOLVED, that voucher payments for rent and utilities be substituted for cash payments 6 A Study Should be Conducted to Assess the Fiscal Impact on Counties Re- sulting From Their Withdrawal From the Federal Welfare System WHEREAS, counties are no longer able to assume the enormous task of fund- ing or administering the ever-increasing number of federally mandated programs, and WHEREAS, counties are rapidly becoming unable to provide other essential public services, now therefore be it RESOLVED, That a study be authorized to assess the financial impact on local government as a consequence of withdrawing from participation in the federal public welfare system RESOLUTION NO 203—AUTHORIZATION TO EXECUTE CONTRACT — TOMP- KINS COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND SPECIAL CHILDREN'S CENTER Moved by Mr Culligan, seconded by Mr Robey Adopted RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Health Committee, That the Chairman of the Board be and he hereby is authorized and directed to execute a contract on behalf of the County between the Tompkins County Health Department and the Special Children's Center for the Dental Health Services Program RESOLUTION NO. 204—WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION BUDGET AND APPOR- TIONMENT — MUTUAL SELF-INSURANCE PLAN Moved by Mr Dates, seconded by Mr Webster It was pointed out that there was an oversight and the Village of Lansing should be included Adopted WHEREAS, the Budget and Administration Committee estimates that the sum of $30,000 00 will be required during the year 1976 for the payment of compensa- 130 October 27, 1975 tion in old and pending cases on behalf of the County participating municipalities under the Mutual Self -Insurance Plan and for the expenses of administering

several participating municipalities in the proportion that their equalized valuation bears to the aggregate valuation of the county and all partici- pating municipal corporations, as follows (Based

be appointed by the Board of Representatives This Board would asssume its duties as of January 1, 1976 • The newly created Board of Managers should be accorded greater autonomy and flexibility in carrying out their responsibilities and should be encouraged to do so Therefore, all functions relative to the administration of Tompkins County Hospital should be vested in the new Board of Managers, with the ex- ception of final budget and capital construction cost approval Civil Service and retirement systems would remain in effect in this interim period • The new Board of Managers should be charged with the responsibility of draft- ing a charter for the establishment of a voluntary, non-profit corporation during the year 1976, which would become effective January is 1977 • The new powers of the non-profit corporation should be reflected in the charter and by-laws The charter should also provide for publicly elected trustees on an annual rotating basis for a five-year (5) period, thus allowing for three (3) vacancies annually • Tompkins County shall retain ownership of hospital facilities and establish a lease arrangement with the private, non-profit corporation The new corpora- tion should have the total responsibility for the operation and management of the hospital facilities • Tompkins County shall retain ownership of hospital facilities and establish a lease arrangement with the private, non-profit corporation for management purposes The new corporation should have the total responsibility for the administration of hospital facilities in the County • The non-profit corporation should be actively involved with the Tompkins County Construction Committee in developing a new hospital complex November 10, 1975 135 • That appropriate resolutions be introduced by the

County, New York ANNUAL REPORT -1975 TOMPKINS COUNTY LIBRARY Laps Mezgar, Director 1975 has been the busiest year in the history of our library as proven by the following statistics Circulation: Total circulation of library materials— Film circulation— Art reproduction circulation— Interlibrary loans to other hbraries— Interlibrary loans from other libraries— Services: Number of reference questions Number of reserves filled Number of registered borrowers Personnel in full-time equivalents: Librarians Clerical and page staff Total 537,157— 5 4% increase from 1974 2,148-17 7% increase from 1974

decrease from 1974 315—no change 40 4— 0 4% decrease from 1974 The above figures are the proof that' we are providing a good service and providing it as economically as possible People need and use the library The library is not a prestigious luxury item on the county budget, it is a necessity STAFF Our Young Adult librarian position has been open since September, 1975, as the State Civil Service Commission has not provided the necessary eligible list Miss Elizabeth Khnko, our librarian trainee is filling-in now, and we have hired temporarily, a professional librarian to provide help to the overworked reference personnel, since December, 1975 This missing YA librarian represents the drop of 0 4 full-time equivalent for our professional staff for 1975 As the people in our area are demanding more services besides books for borrowing, any such drop in personnel is detrimental to the quality of our operations, as these services are provided by the library staff BUILDING The lights in the Children's Department have been replaced, as must all the rest of the small square light fixtures in the entire building, as no replacement units are available for the present fixtures FINGER LAKES LIBRARY SYSTEM I Miss Nancy McGinnies, Assistant Director of the Tompkins County Public Library and Mr Edward Ormondroyd, Technical Services Librarian from the Finger Lakes Library System are cooperating in the establishment of an improved and speedy book selection procedure to purchase Central Book Aid books Our library, as the Central Library of the System, received the following support during 1975 Member Library Grant $19,090 00 Aid to Central Library 3,500 00 Central Library Development Grant (state aid) 19,739 51 Local Sponsor Incentive Aid (state aid) 3,853 20 Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 261 Our staff has been participating with Finger Lakes Library System in joint monthly book meetings and in the work of book selection, film previewing and m a Bicentennial committee We are looking forward to substantial accomplish- ments in our future cooperative projects FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY Our thanks to President Caroline Barlow, to her dedicated board, and to the many volunteers for their contribution and help In addition to considerable financial donations for concerts, workshops and outreach activities, the Friends' volunteers gave 2,116 hours of their own time to the library, which amounts to 1 2 full-time equivalent in our personnel LIBRARY PROGRAMMING We had over 200 library sponsored or cosponsored events in the hbrary To celebrate the Bicentennial we are having the American Issues Forums at regular intervals since September, 1975 We had a highly successful quilt exhibit and a Beethoven's Birthday Concert during December The public is highly appreciative of our exhibits, concerts and lectures, and we are reaching hundreds of people through these special events, who are other- wise not regular library users THE FUTURE OF OUR LIBRARY The new director has spent a considerable number of hours on revising pro- cedures, and planning for the more efficient use of the available space With a modest investment in shelving, display and storage modules, the library's space requirements can be secured within the existing structure until 1980 The most radical revisions in our procedures might enable our clerical staff to keep up with the increased library use if we can take advantage of modern technology in the very near future A computerized circulation system will be a necessity within 1-3 years, as our circulation control equipment is antiquated and only computer- ized systems are able to cope with a circulation of 500,000 and more per year As people are using the library increasingly as an information center, an additional professional position in the Reference Department is a necessity now This type of person-to-person service cannot be simplified or automated, and it is the most important contribution of the library to the community Information is not a privilege for the few "The Right to Know Act" of the Congress is acknowledging this fact which is supported by recent library studies stating that 50% of the people visiting the library never borrow books, but use reference books or consult the librarians to satisfy their information needs It is impera- tive that the County Board of Representatives understands the position of the library as a unique, important service agency, with special needs for different type of personnel, salaries and policies, which cannot be handled simply as an- other county department My special thanks to Chairman Jack Carpenter and all members of the Li- brary Board for their time, work, and understanding 262 Tompkins County, New York 1975 ANNUAL REPORT TOMPKINS

activities under the direction of the staff and 693 volunteer leaders LOW INCOME NUTRITION PROGRAM: Much ofd the work in this program is on a one to one basis However, the work with groups of families has been expanded as an efficient method of reaching more people The "Out -of -Sites" program con- ducted by EFNEP and 4-H reached over 600 youth with nutritional information. A special gardening program was conducted for EFNEP families last summer A regular Newsletter provides EFNEP families with nutritional information, cost cutting ideas and low cost recipes COMMERCIAL FARMERS: Some 200 dairy farmers, that sold more than $10 4 million dollars worth of milk according to the most recent annual figures, form the core group for this program area A severe outbreak of the potato leafhopper insect on alfalfa occurred this summer and farmers were aided in its control Around 125 farmers have received Pesticide Certification training Between 400 to 500 more persons will need this training, !during the next two years Farmers were supplied with economic information to aid them in making management decisions The uncertainty of the economic climate this year has made this type of information particularly useful A fourth Agricultural District was formed with a fifth District well underway to beingiformed Cooperative Extension through its advisory committees made up of program participants, continually tries to adjust its program offerings to meet the cur- rent needs of people in Tompkins County Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 267 ANNUAL REPORT TOMPKINS COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES (Submitted by Robert Wagner) Public assistance—"welfare"—is money and services given to needy families and individuals who qualify for Ft under the Federal Social Security Act and the New York State Social Services Law DIRECT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS There are three money programs namely (1) Public Assistance which is divided into ADC and HR (2) Medicaid and (3) Food Stamps These programs are ad- ministered by workers called Social Welfare Examiners The Social Welfare Examiner's responsibilities continue to grow as new laws are passed and various court decisions are handed down The courts have become increasingly powerful as they affect the operation of social service departments A decision on a class action brought by a group of re- cipients against New York State Department of Social Services may result in a change in procedure for all Social Services departments in New York State.

Special accomplishments in 1975 include 1. Drive -It -Yourself Tour of conservation practices was set up in the Town of Dryden 8 stops were featured on the 32 mile i our. 2 On November 1, a delegation of agricultural officials from New Jersey toured 2 milking parlor waste lagoons built with district assistance on two Tompkins County farms 3 The District had an exhibit at the Tompkins County Fair 4.

Under this program, ASCS office provides cost sharing to carry out a complete soil and water conservation plan on a farm. The N Y S Legislature, during the past session, passed an amendment to the Soil and Water Conservation District Law requiring that all agricultural producers must apply to the local Soil and Water Conservation District for a farm conservation plan by 1978 No penalties were attached to the law. What effect this law will have is uncertain Financial Report: Receipts—$12,354 87 Disbursements—$12,354 87 i II 1 278 Tompkins County, New York �jI� ANNUAL REPORT TOMPKINS COUNTY PLANNING DEPARTMENT Submitted by Frank R Liguori, Planning Commissioner 1 Planning is essentially a process to assist and improve decision making The County Planning Department has a charter designated role in this general area It fulfills this role by the following broad actidrties —Preparation of an area -wide comprehensive plan for the development of the county as a proper frame of reference for decision making at all levels of the government. I — 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 related regional, state, and federal information — Serve as a resource for and assist municipalities and other organizations in the gaining of funding for appropriate programs through state, federal, and other funding sources. — Assist in the coordination and integration of planning activities in the county The Planning Department operated with a full staff compliment during the year effectively utilizing special talent, often on a part time basis, to accomplish 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 area -wide comprehensive plan continued with financial assistance from the U S Department of Housing and Urban De- velopment and the NYS Department of State in the amount of $20,000 In ad- dition, the Planning Department received about $6,000 more in state funding for staff services provided to the Environmental Management Council Since all of the county planning activities are done "in-house" without the need for con- tractual consulting services, the state and federal grants (in effect) reduce the County Planning Department's budget by the amount received During the past few years the Planning Department has been carrying on detailed planning studies and report preparation in those functional areas which are important to community development The functional areas include the fol- lowing human resources, the economy, the environment (both natural and man- made), land use, community facilities, housing and transportation These func- tional area studies were integrated during the year into a basic comprehensive planning document which was published and made available to people and municipalities for comment and discussion An important feature of the compre- hensive plan is the "Policy Plan" which was prepared with the advice and as- sistance of the County Planning Board The "Policies Plan" states the goals that the people and municipalities of the county hope to strive to achieve in each of the functional areas, the objectri, es which may be accomplished along the direction of the goals, and the governmental and other policies which will be necessary to implement programs to achieve the objectives As part of this effort, the following reports were completed and published during the year — ANALYTIC BASE, a summary of the major findings and conclusions of the several preliminary reports prepared and published previously Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 279 —A suggested POLICIES PLAN, which presents many of the community issues and problems, suggested goals an -1 objectives in many areas of community concern It is preliminary in that it will be amended to reflect consensus input by people and municipalities —ENVIRONMENTAL IMAGE This is basically a framework for the analysis of environmental characteristics which affect development It outlines a format to assess the impact of development on various environmental factors —HIGHLIGHTS of the comprehensive plan which presents the plan in a popular form for easy reading, discussion and input Perhaps the most cogent features of the comprehensive plan are the alterna- tive future settlement and activity patterns within the county The County Plan- ning Department, County Planning Board, and the Environmental Management Council and several other organizations have agreed that the so-called "selective community" pattern for future development is the most advantageous for the county At the present time the alternative settlement patterns, paricularly the selective community pattern, are being discussed before municipal boards, civic associations, and other groups It is quite apparent that' there is strong support for the selective community concept Under the enabling legislation of the State of New York, the responsibility tor land use management is vested with each individual city, town and village Since there is often a tendency on the part of individual municipalities to pursue their own interests, often without regard to the county -wide interest, the im- portance and value of a comprehensive plan at the county level becomes evident It is the purpose of the comprehensive plan, and in particular the suggestions for future settlement patterns, to provide a framework for common direction so that actions by individual governments will be along a common desirable di- rection During 1976, the Planning Department and the Planning Board will pursue the "selective community pattern" concept vigorously It is hoped that county government will see fit to endorse the concept to pave the way for con- sideration by each individual municipality The County Planning Department will assist each municipality in adjusting land use controls to conform with the general concepts of the plan The County Planning Board The County Planning Board continued to grow in stature during the year The organization of the Board as a "coalition" with representation by each mu- nicipality and by all of the major agencies and organizations that have an active role in functional planning, is living up to expectations Attendance at the Plan- ning Board meetings is very good, interest is strong, and participation is good The Board meets on the second Wednesday of each month The Board has several Standing Committees, including Transportation, the Policies Plan, Board Structure, Housing, and Historical Preservation The Trans- portation and Policies Planning Committees were particularly active during the year At the request of the Planning and Public Works Committee, the Planning Board sponsored an Ad Hoc Youth and Recreation Service Committee to study the structure of youth and recreation services in the county and to make recom- mendations for improvements A draft report has been published and it is quite likely that a final report will be mad. early in 1976 The Planning Board and the Environmental Management Council jointly sponsored a forum to discuss the proposals for the designation of Fall Creek as a recreational iivei under State law Southern Tier East Reginal Plannenq Development Board Tompkins County continues to be an active member of the Southern Tier East Regional Planning Development Board, an Appalachia Region oriented Board The county was represented by Robert Bruce and Ruth Pettengill for the first six months and by Roger Morse and Hugh S MacNeil for the last six months Frank Liguori served for the entire year 280 Tompkins County,,New York The Regional Planning Board was reorganized during the year and the head- quarters was moved from Norwich to the Broome County Office Building in Binghamton The staff was also reorganized and now works closely with the Broome County Planning Department staff The result has been a significant strengthening of the organization and staff. The main thrust of the regional planning program is in the preparation of an annual investment plan for funding assistance by the Appalachia Regional Commission, assistance in economic development, local planning assistance (pri- marily for those counties without local staff potential and support), coordination of planning activities involving interaction between counties, and a modest region- al planning effort Of particular interest to legislators is the opportunity foi Appalachia Regional Commission funding for various projects and programs Agencies and governments in Tompkins County will receive approximately Y4 million dollars of Appalachia Regional Commission funding in fiscal year 1976 First efforts to obtain a grant to fund the Tompkins County Hospital were not successful Efforts are continuing Local Planning Assistance The Planning Department continued to provide planning assistance to local municipalities at their request Under the provisions of Section 239 of the General Municipal Law, the Planning Department I reviewed 32 official referrals by mumcipahties for proposed zoning changes and developments which were within designated areas of possible impact with other municipalities, county or state facilities Appropriate recommendations were made In addition, several mu- nicipalities requested assistance in the review of other proposals Special planning assistance was provided to the Village of Lansing to assist in the review of their land use policies and controls Planning assistance was also provided for the Town of Danby in revision of zoning and subdivision ordinances With the completion of the basic comprehensive planning studies, the Plan- ning Department will be in a stronger position to offer more assistance to local municipalities. The Department maintained close working relationships with the City and Ithaca Town Planning staff, taking every opportunity possible to interact on various activities Special Planning Studies and Activities The Planning Department assisted county government and the County Air- port in the preparation of an Airport Master Plan funded by the Federal Avi- ation Administration, utilizing the services of a consultant The Plan was pub- lished during the year and given wide circulation It will form the basis for future decision making at the Airport The County Board of Representatives joined with the counties of Cayuga and Cortland on a Tri -County Solid Waste Recovery Study Each county appointed representatives to a Steering Committee The Commissioner of Planning served as Chairman of the Steering Committee The report was prepared through 140%0 State funding through the services of consulting engineers The published report was given wide circulation The study activities will continue during 1976 to re- fine the studies and develop the mechanisms, for implementation and to resolve several remaining issues In the meantime, the counties of Chemung and Steuben have shown interest in participation with other counties. The County Planning Department participated in an evaluation of the socio- economic impacts of the proposed NYSEG coal generating power plant (Cayuga Station) under consideration by the Public Service Commission The report was prepared through the services of consultants through special funding from the Public Service Commission. The published report was given wide distribution The Planning Department assisted a special Rt. 13 Task Force Committee ap- pointed by the State Department of Transportation to study the alternative pro- Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 281 posals for a new Rt 13 from Warren Road to Cortland A counterpart group in Cortland County looked at the proposals within that county As a result of these activities, the Special Task Group prepared recommendations for a new cor- ridor as opposed to improvements of Rt 13 along the existing alignment as pro- posed by NYS DOT The Cortland County group is still studying the matter Early in 1976, the two groups will prepare a joint statement for consideration by NYS DOT At the present time transportation planning in Tompkins County is frag- mented among several special committees, functioning more or less independently Near the end of the year, the Planning Department prepared a report which recommends the consolidation of all transportation planning (on a multi -modal basis) under an inter -municipal concept called the Ithaca -Tompkins County Transportat,on Commission It is hoped that the report will stimulate an early consolidation of this important function. Project Planning The Planning Department continued to assist the Board of Representatives and county departments in initiating and carrying out special project plans Some of the more significant projects are as follows The Department continued to assist in developing proposals for improved allocation of office space for the county government functions in the Court House area This included a program for the use of the Old Court House, currently under reconstruction, and the provision of interim space for the Sheriff's Depart- ment during the reconstruction period The Department coordinates the federal funding arrangements Federal funding assistance also includes costs for re- location of the Sheriff, the Office of Economic Opportunity Corporation, and the DeWitt Historical Society The Department assisted county government on matters concerned with the Boardman House. The Department continued to assist the Airport Manager and the Depart- ment of Public Works in the packaging of proposals for federal, state, and Appalachia Regional Commission funding for Airport improvements including the removal and relocation of the WHCU radio tower, the preparation and instal- lation for an instrument landing system, the purchase of crash, fire and rescue equipment and the provision of security fencing An application has also been submitted for other improvements in 1976, including a second crash, fire and rescue truck, the construction of a CFR and maintenance building, improvements in security fencing, and related activities The Department continued to assist the Industrial Development Agency in the development of the Industrial Park concept on Warren Road in the vicinity of the Airport Through funding assistance from the Appalachia Regional Com- mission and the Farmers Home Administration, grants have been dedicated for the extension of water and sewer. the construction of a fire safety pond, im- proved drainage, and improvements to Warren Road The Department served as coordinators in connection with the combining of access driveways from various establishments at the intersection of Rt 13 and Triphammer Road under construction during the year A fifth Agricultural District was established in the Town of Danby The Planning Department plays a leading role in the preparation of plans, the pack- aging of proposals, and the administration of Agricultural Districts There are now five Agricultural Districts in the county with a combined acreage of 66,155 and representing 22% of the land area of the county Discussions are underway for possible future Agricultural Districts in the Towns of Caroline, Newfield, and Enfield. 282 Tompkins County, New York Participation in Other Community Planning Activities and Organizations The Planning Department continued with active participation and cooper- ation with many organizations as follows. —The Commissioner of Planning serves as Secretary of the County Water Agency and the County Sewer Agency The County Sewer Agency is currently overseeing a Comprehensive Sewerage Study for the entire county through State Department of Environmental Conservation funding A draft report has been prepared and will be published early in 1976. —The Department participates in they 'County Human Service Coalition and provides some staff service to the Coalition The Commissioner of Planning is a member of the Executive Committee i — A staff member serves on the County Area Beautification Council —The Department provides staff assistance to the Environmental Manage- ment Council II — The Planning Commissioner is an Ex) Officio member and Acting Secretary of County Sewer District No. 1 He also serves) as a member of the County In- dustrial Development Agency and is Chairman of the Tompkins County Transit Committee which is overseeing a county -wide Transit Study under preparation by Professor Arnim Meyburg of Cornell University. This study is funded by the Federal Highway Administration 11 — Planning Department staff members' participate in numerous other meet- ings, speak before many groups and civic organizations These activities provide the Department with an opportunity to better understand the concerns, needs, and desires of people and organizations 1 I i 11 1 1 I 11 Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 283 ANNUAL REPORT TOMPKINS COUNTY HISTORIAN Submitted by Patrick A Foltz, County Historian (detailed report on file with Clerk of the Board) During the past year, the County Historian's function, has focused on two major activities—one, the collection, preservation and processing of materials relevant to county history; the other, the coordination of town oriented projects run by local historians or historical groups In each area significant progress has been made Since my appointment in 1973, a portion of working time has been spent sorting, culling, and generally reorganizing the documents, manuscripts, photo- graphs and correspondence designated as the property of the County Historian Recently the Historical Society received a grant to hold a "Community His- tory Day" at the museum The purpose of the event was to encourage people to bring in personal possessions of historical significance to be photographically documented In this way the Society could increase the depth of its research col- lections without depending upon the outfight donation of these items, any of which are considered family heirlooms that would never be given to the museum For the most part, the events have generated a good deal of public enthusiasm and have produced a wealth of previously -undiscovered materials on the social and economic history of the area As usual, institutions and agencies affiliated or identified with Tompkins County receive countless requests for information about various aspects of County History Requests sent to the Library, Chamber of Commerce, and County Clerk are forwarded to the County Historian's office to be answered Counting these inquiries and those sent to the County Historian care of the Historical Society, over 100 requests were received and answered The great majority of these letters requested genealogical references, though questions about the Ithaca Calendar Clock Company, the movie -making industry in Ithaca and railroads are common Since January 1975, we have provided over 25 programs for interested groups within the community The lecture and slide programs have been well re- ceived by the Sertoma Clubs, the two Ithaca Rotary Chapters, the Federation of Women's Clubs, Ithaca High School, and Ithaca College's Bicentennial course, "Tompkins County The Human Enterprise, 1776-1976' 284 Tompkins County, New York THE TOMPKINS COUNTY OFFICE FOR THE AGING ANNUAL REPORT -1975 The Tompkins County Office for the Aging officially opened March 1, 1975 In its first 10 months of operation it accomplished the following: 1. Established an Advisory Committee. 2 Leased office space furnished and equipped it 3 Hired three full time staff (Director, Aging Services Specialist, Secre- tary). 4. Researched federal and state program mandates for Area Agencies on Aging. 1 5. Set up administrative systems to facilitate reporting of financial and programmatic data to the Board of Representatives, the New York State Office for the Aging and the Tompkins County community at large 6 Researched and established resource files, in the areas of gerontology, geriatrics, physical handicaps related to the aging process, legislation impacting upon older persons, potential sources of funding for program aimed at the elderly, supporting services1 to older persons, trends in national, state, and local service systems which affect older persons, and related topical files The availability of this information was communi- cated to all appropriate community groups1 7. Established working relationships with those public and private service agencies and organizations working with older citizens 8. Made contact with groups of older I, persons in the county, including Senior Citizen Council units, residents ofl domiciliary care, health re- lated and skilled nursing facilities, and various housing units for older persons. 9. Employed and trained three full time outreach workers (CETA-funded) to act as information and referral, Problem -solving, and advocacy per- sonnel in relation to individual older persons 10 Contracted with the Community Transit System of the City of Ithaca, the Town of Ithaca and the Ellis Hollow Apartments for the extension of an experimental bus service to older persons through 1975 11. Operated a Dial -A -Ride Service for older persons in the Ithaca City Area. 12 Steered the Nutrition for the Elderly Program through long negotiations in regard to the sponsorship of that program resulting in its sponsor- ship by a private community organization (The Salvation Army) for 1976 and beyond 13 Assisted in the application for funding and the later establishment of a home winterization program for low-income and elderly persons through the Economic Opportunity Corporation 14 Provided informational support to a Cooperative Extension newsletter, the Seasoned Citizen, aimed at low-income elderly 15 Provided informational and financial support for a county -wide news- letter, the Senior Circle in a joint effort with the Senior Citizens Council 16 Prepared and published a Resource Directory for Older Persons in Tomp- kins County Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 285 17. Operated, in cooperation with the county Department of Social Services, an Information and Referral Resource System This has included the recording of data for use by the county and various agencies in planning for a central information and referral system 18. Provided a bi-monthly training session for other agency personnel on services available to older people in Tompkins County from September to November 19 Prepared a 1976 Area Plan outlining the office activities for its next fiscal year, seeking maximum citizen input into that planning, pro- gramming and budgeting process. A full annual report and evaluation will be made to the Board of Representatives in April 1976 by the Advisory Committee An annual assessment of the office is also made by the Field Representative of the New York State Office for the Aging and will be forwarded to the Board of Representatives before June Both will be on file with the Clerk of the Board ANNUAL REPORT HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION Submitted by Anne Bodman, Investigator (detailed report on file with Clerk of Board) The Human Rights Commission was established by Resolution No 290 of the County Board of Representatives under provision of N Y S General Municipal Law, Article 12-D Under this legislation, the mandate to the Commission is to promote mutual respect, understanding, and equality for all members of the community In order to comply with this charge, the Commission serves in two ways—by listening and responding to expressed concerns and by actively pro- viding information and educational programs designed to increase public aware- ness on human rights issues As a part of fulfilling these responsibilities, the Commission offers specific information about the Human Rights Law, assists persons in the handling of grievances, and receives and forwards formal com- plaints to the State Division of Human Rights, the state agency responsible for investigating and resolving alleged violations of the Human Rights Law Wher- ever possible, it is the policy of the Commission to attempt a local resolution of difficulties and reconciliation of the parties involved The Commission's efforts in these directions have been greatly facilitated by strong support at both the state and local level Throughout the year we were fortunate to have a representative from the Regional Office of the State Division of Human Rights at each meeting On the local level, Beverly Livesay and Erie J. Miller, Jr have served as helpful and supportive liaisons to the County Board of Representatives as has County Attorney Robert Williamson Many county groups have participated in projects with the Commission Two important changes in the structure of the Commission were the hiring of an Investigator and the opening of an office In February 1975 Anne Bodman was hired as part time Investigator and assumed principal responsibility for re- sponding to inquiries to the Commission and providing necessary information 286 Tompkins County, New York or assistance When referral of a formal complaint must be made to the State Division of Human Rights, she works with the complainants in preparing com- plaints and continues to be available as liaison between complainant and the Regional Office during investigation In addition td these duties, the Investigator acts on the Commission's business and, in meetings (with employers, realtors, local establishments and interest groups, provides information about the Human Rights Law In August, an office was opened at 206 N Cayuga Street During 1975, the commission held four public meetings to provide forums for discussions of issues and interpretation of laws On the first occasion, a film was shown honoring Martin Luther King A second meeting was held to educate the public on recent legislation concerning the rights of disabled persons and rights in the area of credit Together with the Women's Community Building, the Commission sponsored an evening on the subject oflwomen's rights with speakers representing the Lieutenant Governor's Office, the State Division of Human Rights, and an attorney who discussed legal matters of particular interest to women Finally, the Commission offered its facilities for a presentation by rep- resentatives from the United Farms Workers With the additions of an Investigator and an office, utilization of the com- mission's services markedly increased and the Commission was able to respond more quickly and effectively to inquiries For example, in 1974 the Commission kept records of 98 calls, representing about 78 inquiries covered by the Human Rights Law, of these 8 were referred to the State Division of Human Rights for investigation During 1975, the Commission received 246 calls, almost 21/2 times as many as the previous year, and there were 27 formal complaints As in previous years, more questions were in the area of employment than in any other area, and for the first time inquiries alleging discrimination be- cause of sex outnumbered inquiries alleging discrimination because of race, color, or national origin Of the 15 formal complaints involving sex discrimination, 13 were filed by women and 2 by men New coverage for age and disability dis- crimination also accounted for the broader range of inquiries than in previous years During 1975 the Commission was called 'upon by members of the gay com- munity and by the Charter and Ordinance Committee of Common Council to study and evaluate a proposed Human Rights Bill for the City of Ithaca The Commis- sion set up a Task Force to consider the proposal, and in October the Commission issued a report which suggested some changes and recommended that Common Council enact legislation guaranteeing rights equally to all residents of the City The Commission realizes that not all members of the community choose to voice their concerns and that many of these may go unrecognized and unmet In an effort to increase awareness and discover these needs, the Commission has begun to work with the Ithaca Video Project in the production of a documentary video tape questioning local citizens as to their feelings and experiences on the issues of human rights and discrimination We anticipate the cooperation of many groups throughout the County during the production of this tape Upon com- pletion, the tape will be available to local groups, schools, TV, and, eventually, to other communities Financial Statement—Budgeted—$5,474 50 Spent $5,044 41 ($266 for rent came from separate funds ) Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 287 ANNUAL REPORT DEWITT HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF TOMPKINS COUNTY Submitted by Armand L Adams, President (detailed report on file with Clerk of Board) Again we have had a successful and productive year Most of the "kinks" in the Society's activities have been ironed out However, some of our objectives in internal organization and better public relations to improve our public image and establish our identity have yet to be attained Every single artifact and archival record has finally been removed from the Old Court House For the most part they are all located in our present quarters here in the Clinton House Some larger artifacts and particularly farm equipment are stored in theo barn at the Frear House Total Expenditures for 1975—$52,777 46 Total receipts for 1975—$56,928 55 On June 1, 1974 we had 332 members, today we have 359—only a slight in- crease This is one of the areas where attention is required During the year Patrick Foltz was officially appointed the Tompkins County Historian by the County Board of Representatives and confirmed by the State Historian Since taking office as Director, Mr and Mrs Foltz have served as cus- todians and tenants of the residence on the Frear Farm After July 1, 1974, the effective date of the transfer of the legal title to the Frear Farm, the maintenance of the farm became the responsibility of the own- ers—the DeWitt Historical Society and the Westhill Cemetery Association Be- ginning July 1, 1974, the two organizations, acting through their respective presi- dents and with board authority, undertook the operation of a fruit farm This operation continued 10 months, until May 1, 1975 The operation was conducted under the name "Indian Creek Farm " This "operation" of the Indian Ci eek Farm has been a "holding" operation, because no decision has been made as to the ultimate future use of either our or the Cemetery's property Our concern was that it not deteriorate in value as it would if it were not cultivated and improved Neither of the organizations is in a position to continue a farming operation Accordingly, we have been making long-range plans for the operation of the farm Through the fine work of Stanley W Warren, we have been able to negotiate a two-year lease (with renewal option) of the farm operation with Richard L Perry, a nearby and competent farmer The lease in its final form will be presented for approval to the Board of Trustees at its meeting tonight Every expectation is that in the future, while we are making a decision as to the ultimate use of the farm, the farm will not only cost us nothing but by good husbandry it will be improved and there will be income to the Society to defray the expenses of maintaining the residence and some Two special Bicentennial activities begun this year, which will continue through December 31, 1976, are underway By resolution of the County Board of Representatives, the Society was desig- nated as the official agency to administer funds of and assist the promotion and program of the County Bicentennial Commission Patrick Foltz has been desig- nated as a member of the Commission and Alice Hemenway has been engaged half-time as Executive Secretary Both work with Charlie Chatfield who is chair- man of the County Bicentennial Commission A separate account has been set up 288 Tompkins County, New York and disbursements made, as authorized by the Commission, by the Society Treasurer A written policy statement has been executed by the Society and the Commission to indicate the responsibilities of the two agencies The Eight Square School is again functioning as a school Through the auspices of Stanley W Warren, a contractual agreement has been negotiated and entered into by the Society and the Dryden Bicentennial Commission operating under the corporate name of "Dryden Spirit of 1'76, Inc ", under which the corp- oration will renovate, maintain and operate the school house It is expected that all the 4th grade pupils in the public schools of the county and also as many other grade classes as possible will spend at least a day in a "one room" school BOCES has made and will in the future make extensive and badly needed re- pairs to the school house and out -buildings They Ithaca -Cayuga Rotary Club do- nated and erected a flag pole and the 4th grad students in the Dryden Schools, by various fund raising activities, raised the money to purchase the American flag which flies there A movie showing the activities of the school and other Bicentennial proj- ects has been made by the Ithaca College Visual FAids Department The Society quarters now house the activities and provide meeting space for historically related groups—the Spinners Guild, Finger Lakes Bottle Club and Ithaca Geneological Society We hosted the Ithaca Public Schools Art work exhibit In co-operation with the Cornell University Johnson Museum and th'e Laboratory of Ornithology we took part in a Fuertes Anniversary Exhibit—that located in the DeWitt Museum consisting of personal memorabilia of Louis Agassiz Fuertes The other exhibits "hung" or displayed during the year were Ithaca Pot- teries, Winter Sports, Bottles, the Volunteer Fireman, Ithaca Views and the History of the Clinton House. A very successful Community History' Day was held May 10, 1975 at which local residents communicated stories, contributed relics of local history with which they were personally familiar. Appropriate signs identifying the Society, its activities and open museum days and hours have been posted beside the exterior entrance to the museum. The famous "Firemen's Banner" has been framed arid has a place of honor in what was formerly the Main Dining Room now known officially as the "Assembly Room " The small dining room, which is restored to its early days has been appropriately named the "1830 Room" The Geneological Reading Room on the first floor off the main lobby has been set up and a working library and research material made available It is a busy place with someone working there almost all the time the offices and museum are open to the public Some of the goals we set for completion in 1974-75 are not completed The most important is the publication of an Informational Brochure describing the Society, its museum and activities and among other things, differentiating be- tween the DeWitt Historical Society and Historic Ithaca, Inc The "William Heidt Memorial Press" is not yet functional Problems have arisen in the repair of the linotype press which was damaged during the move from the Old Court House The letter press is operable. Because of the delay in getting the press room operable, we have not printed, published or republished any historical pamphlets or booklets Our Newsletter, sent quarterly to members, has been printed by contract printers.
