Mr. Watros said the Intergovernmental Relations Study Committee has been meeting regularly and undertaking many projects, one of which has been the study of possible ways that all municipalities in Tompkins County could jointly partici- pate in an agreement with the TV Cable Company. He introduced Mr. John Mar- cham. Mr. Marcham reported on the activities of the committee. He said they ex- plored with municipalities the possibility of their cooperation. They could turn over their ability to franchise to the county and just have a county commission or could turn over their authority to a commission that they form themselves or could have turned over just the job of studying requests for changes in franchises. They explored the possibilities and came to the conclusion that perhaps the best idea was to get together and try to do the research cooperatively. They called to- gether representatives of all municipalities in the county, and attendance was very good. With the services of a law student at Cornell they completed a first draft and submitted it to the municipal representatives and sent it on to the State Cable January 24, 1977 11 Commission and State Office for Local Government with a copy to Robert William- son, County Attorney, for review. They have received verbal approval from the State Office of Local Government. They asked for a formal declaratory ruling from the State Cable Commission to make sure the plan did meet with their ap- proval. They received a letter from the Cable Commission. The municipalities will now attempt to get their legislative bodies to endorse this agreement. Mrs. Benson asked if the Intergovernmental Relations Study Committee had discussed the area where under state law it is now possible for not only munici- palities but also school districts to cooperate through a county purchasing agent on certain purchases. Mr. Marcham said they are meeting on Wednesday and he will bring up that question. Mr. Louis Nayman said he had distributed a document to board members and asked for their consideration. He said the union is willing to clarify and respond to any questions the board might have. At this time Mrs. Phyllis Howell, Clerk of the Board, read Resolution No. 230 of 1974 which created the Human Services Coalition and called for an intensive structural and procedural evaluation at the end of each year of its operation. After the first year of operation the Coalition shall be evaluated according to how well it has met its established goals. Mrs. Ruth Pettengill spoke to the board and introduced Anne Jones, vice chairman; staff members Michael Martin, Elizabeth Aurbach and Debbie Statton. Mr. Michael Martin, at the request of the Budget and Administration Com- mittee, gave a slide presentation of the evaluation of past activities of the Human Services Coalition and a plan for future activities. A written report was distrib- uted to board members. A question and answer period followed concerning possible duplication of human services. Mr. Dates said he is sure there will be more meetings as they have a directive from Chairman MacNeil to come in with a recommendation. There have been ques- tions on whether the guidelines of the original resolution should be changed and improved which will have to be answered before this board will fund it again. Chairman MacNeil made the following committee appointments: Budget and Administration Committee: Harris B. Dates, Chairman; Donald J. Culligan, James W. Ray, Bryant Robey, Robert I. Watros, James E.

Miller, Jr., Harold Laue (Pomona Grange) Greater Ithaca Activities Center: Claude Holden, Donald Wilson Under privilege of the floor Mr. Webster asked if the Chairman would con- sider a temporary time limited study committee or group to examine and recom- mend efficient, alternate energy heating devices that are being utilized in Tomp- kins County and that would be safe and to offer and recommend to the citizens of the county efficient means of energy conservation and to examine our own system of what we are doing to conserve energy and finally to study and inform the pub- lic with respect to other matters pertinent to energy problems. Chairman MacNeil said he will have the Clerk contact Mr. John Miller, Fire and Disaster Coordinator, to see what they can do. Mr. Robey noted the lack of attendance of public citizens here this morning and he mentioned again the possibility of holding a night meeting once a month. He said he received the chairman's memo regarding a special committee to make a recommendation in June and he asked if it might be helpful to them to have a six-month period to see if evening meetings might get more of the public here. He asked if the Budget and Administration Committee could look at this at their next meeting and perhaps come in with a resolution at the next board meeting. Chair- man MacNeil referred his request to the Budget and Administration Committee. Mr. Culligan, Chairman, Health Committee, said their next meeting will be held January 25th and will meet with Challenge Industries. Mr. Clynes noted the Hospital Board of Managers did comment that it looks like year-end figures will be at or near a breakeven point and they adopted a new billing cycle for input into the new computer program. Mr. Holden, Chairman, Personnel Committee, said they met with the Health January 24, 1977 13 Committee regarding two resolutions on the agenda regarding the hospital. They did meet with CETA Advisory Committee and the Human Services Coalition. He reported he attended the Highway Superintendent's meeting in Rcchester. He said the work in Title I had plus $27,000 extra to be allocated to the EOC. Title II, VI—the money is funded unless there is exception of school districts for both groups September 30. Some of the schools have been cut. Mr. Watros, Chairman, Intergovernmental Relations Committee, said they met last week to discuss the bids for replacement of lighting at the library. Light- ing has been a problem for a long time. When the fixtures were installed when the library was constructed they used the type of lamp that is no longer made. They have been replacing a few fixtures over the last few years in order to keep a reasonable degree of lighting. The complete replacement of the remaining fix- tures in the building will cost approximately $50,000. It appears this is the only means of solving the problem. He expects to bring a resolution before the board for approval at the next meeting. There was a question about a possible lawsuit and Mr. Robert Williamson, County Attorney, stated a lawsuit has not been started. He reviewed the contract. There is nothing that requires the supplier and/or General Electric to continue to manufacture those bulbs. Mr. Webster reported relative to the judgeship question and he will bring in a resolution for the February 14th meeting. Mrs. Livesay reported on the Supervisors and County Legislators Association meeting which she attended in Rochester. The emphasis of that meeting was on legislation and the need for this group to get together for local government in New York State to speak more with one voice. It also dealt with the need for more of a partnership between local government and state government to work to- gether. There was a report on welfare administration. She also noted she made a proposal to the association some time ago to go from two state meetings a year to one statewide meeting and a series of regional one -day meetings be held throughout the state. There is now interest, and they have asked her to develop a pilot regional meeting in Tompkins County between now and the June meeting. She has a tentative date of March 31. She is also working to have the magazine contain more real information for those that can't attend the meetings. Mr. John Murphy, County Administrator, reported relative to business in- vestment exemption which was discussed at a meeting January 12th with repre- sentatives of towns, villages and school districts. He distributed a summary of what is possible under the business investment exemption. He also reported the taxable status date for various municipalities and school districts. The law is written so it goes into effect as of the taxable status date each year and unless amended it goes in with 50 per cent exemption the first year declining five per cent in subsequent years. The taxable status day for villages is January 1. Any village that would want to change the law would have to have acted before Jan- uary 1. For the city it is March 1. The towns—May 1. For the school districts it is actually the dates of various towns, cities, villages within their boundaries. If there is any intent of this board to change the 50 per cent exemption, it will have to be done prior to Mach 1 for the city. He summarized the highlights of the act. The law provides exemption for new construction, alterations, installations or im- provements for the purchases of commercial business or industrial activity where the cost of the addition exceeds $10,000. Such property must be used primarily for buying, selling, storing or developing goods and services to manufacture or assem- bly of goods and processing of raw materials. Mr. Thomas Payne received infor- mation which would indicate, as far as public utility is concerned, the real prop- erty of a public utility would be subject to the exemption. The special franchise tax portion of the public utility—telephone, water, conduit, right of way, would not be subject to exemption. It excludes residences, apartment houses, condomini- ums and cooperative use for residential purposes. The exemption applies to con- struction which commenced after January 1, 1976 and was completed after July 1, 1976. Chairman MacNeil said it does not mean it is good for only six months. It could start tomorrow and still be good. Mr. Murphy said the purpose of the law 14 January 24, 1977 is intended to offer local government taxing authority and the option to compete with other states, and actually with other localities, for business and industry to expand or to locate within our area. The exemption is to apply only to new taxes. It is his understanding at that time if a board allows or passes it in the first year, it will automatically cover that parcel down through the ten-year existence under this act. Mr. Payne now has an interpretation from the council for the State Board of Equalization and Assessment that each board may change the exemption on each and every parcel each year. Chairman MacNeil referred this matter to the Budget and Administration Committee for a recommendation and report by the next meeting. Mr. Howard Stevenson, Jr., Hospital Construction Committee, said the com- mittee is investigating further the resolution that was tabled at the last meeting regarding movable equipment at the hospital. Mr. Robey said under the new Freedom of Information Law he feels the Hos- pital Construction Committee meetings should be open. Mr. Robert Williamson, County Attorney, stated he disagrees with the State regarding the assessment Mr. Murphy reported about. He feels it should be locked in for the ten year, five per cent deduction each year otherwise there would not be incentive for business. He said there is a decision in the Ryan against Kelly case. The final decision was that the contract be annulled and the County re -advertise for the finish hardware. It is his recommendation that the board phase out a reso- lution directing Sarkisian Brothers and that the County readvertise. There was a discussion on the ramifications because work has been started. Mr. Williamson felt at the next board meeting on February 14th a resolution could be presented in accordance with the judgement they get and in the meantime to re -advertise. Mr. Murphy introduced Mr. Stuart Dvorkin, a student at SUNY Cortland. He is in a training program. He is spending this semester working for the county at no cost to introduce him to county government at the same time he will be doing work for the county. Chairman MacNeil said they are going to hear a lot of critical statements in the next few months about budget cuts. If we are going to have faith in our county, state and country, we will have to share in the hard times as well as the good times. They should be willing to look at each issue with an open mind and positive attitude toward solving difficulties. Permission was granted for resolutions pertaining to award of bid for the Highway Department and public hearing for contracts at the airport.

Under privilege of the floor, Mrs. Pauline Darrett again spoke opposing the Human Rights Commission. Mrs. Dooley Kieffer spoke regarding the legislation passed last year which provides for property tax exemption for business and industry. The blanket nature of the exemption disturbs her since it must apply across the board to all busi- nesses. It seems contradictory if one cares about orderly development in an area. She would like the board to lower this exemption at least for a year to give the state legislature a chance to amend the legislation. Various committee chairmen reported as follows: Mr. Miller, Chairman, Social Services Committee, said the statistics for 1976 budget ended up with the Social Services Budget being $708,000 under budget. They discussed a summer work training program on which Commissioner Wagner will be working. They also discussed the idea of having an assistant District At- torney who would be responsible for welfare fraud cases only. Commissioner Wag- ner is going to be reporting to our board on the 14th of March. It is a situation pertaining to the Core D Program which is a title for an amendment to the Social Security Act. The idea is to locate deserting parents and obtain support from them that they should be paying. 20 February 14, 1977 Mr. Culligan, Chairman, Health Committee, said they met and listened to the problem of Challenge Industries. The revenues from the Challenge store cannot be used on local monies raised to match state funding; therefore, they need $19,000 in order to run the programs they had scheduled. He also reported the Mental Health Department is having difficulty getting a person to take over the new di- rector position. Their next committee meeting will be held tomorrow at 4:00 p.m. Mr. Robey said the Mental Health Board met last week. They discussed a change in state's approach to mental health programs where there is confusion about administrative changes being made. A meeting with state legislators may be requested. Mrs. Benson said the Health Alliance will meet tomorrow to discuss possible alternative organization plans. Mr. Clynes, Chairman, Planning and Public Works Committee, reported they met and approved going to design with the Crash, Fire, Rescue building at the airport and he will ask to have a resolution added to today's agenda. They had a meeting on the Warren Road Project. They reviewed the status of the federal project VASI improvements on runway 14 which will require a board resolution at a later date. Mr. Theisen asked about the Emergency CETA funds available to counties who needed them due to the energy and snow emergency and if the board should take action on the decision to not accept funds. Mr. MacNeil said it was to employ people who had lost their jobs as a result of winter and snow. Town highway superintendents were called together and it was felt it would be better to give the funds to another county because Tompkins County was not hit as bad as other counties. Mr. Hurlbut, Personnel Commissioner, explained the situation and stated the State Manpower Secretariat informed him that funding was available due to the weather and energy crisis. It was decided not to accept the funds. • The Board voted to approve the action not to accept the funds. Mr. Watros, Chairman, Intergovernmental Relations Committee, said they met and discussed items concerning the library. They acted upon clarification in- volving the management of the library and passed it to the Budget and Adminis- tration Committee for their consideration and will bring it to the board in the near future. They also approved the purchase of microphone equipment requested by the Board of Trustees using Finger Lakes Association funds and will pass it on to the Budget and Administration Committee. They deferred action on the request of the library for adding one professional librarian. Chairman MacNeil noted with input from NYSE&G, the Planning and Public Works Committee, Personnel and Mr. Theisen, they talked with the library about shortening their hours and the library agreed to shorten the hours. Mr. Webster reported the Criminal Justice Advisory Board met and consid- ered the request of the Public Safety Committee to study and make a report on contact visitation at the jail. They are also continuing the search for new mem- bers to the Board and he will lay two names on the table for consideration of appointment later in the meeting. Mrs. Livesay, Chairman, Special Legislative Committee, said they had their organization meeting. They will be meeting twice a month during the legislative term on the second and fourth Tuesdays at 4:00 p.m. She will have an appoint- ment to make later in the meeting to the Environmental Management Council and she also will propose an amendment to the business exemption resolution later in the meeting. Mr. Haight, Chairman, Public Safety and Correction Committee, reported they discussed a request for oxygen tanks for each Sheriff's car and was tabled until their next meeting for more information. They discussed installing brackets February 14, 1977 21 for lights on top of the Sheriff's cars instead of drilling holes which would be less expensive at trade-in time. They also discussed the contact visitation at the jail which has been blocked by the courts at this time. They also discussed the possi- bility of a position for a probation assistant. It is now before the Personnel Com- mittee. Mr. Dates, Chairman, Budget and Administration Committee, said they will be meeting to bring in a recommendation on the Challenge Industries and the li- brary funding. Mr. Murphy, County Administrator, stated for the past two weeks he, Chair- man MacNeil and Mr. Hurlbut have met with representatives of business, Chamber of Commerce and various people regarding a policy cutting down energy consump- tion. The city scheduled a four-day work week in the month of March. There was a question if the county could do the same. He said there is a requirement that certain offices of the county must remain open. He tried to get a ruling from the state and they are not empowered to close these departments one day a week un- less there would be an executive order or legislative change. They recognize the problem but it is a whole state problem. Action has been taken to reduce thermo- stats to 65 degrees during the day and 55 degrees at night with the exception of the jail, hospital and county home. Chairman MacNeil said they have been involved in this energy situation to a considerable extent. He said Morse Chain in Ithaca is one of a few factories in the United States that make timing chains for automobiles. The other factory is on strike and because of the lack of natural gas Morse Chain laid off most of its pro- duction workers and without the timing chains in Detroit the nation is going to suffer a reversal in employment. He said Secretary of the Treasury made a request that natural gas from Alaska be allowed to be shipped on other than U.S. bodies. He thinks it is an important issue because Congress and the Senate have taken a strong stand behind the Maritime Union not to allow gas to be shipped on foreign bodies; therefore, the gas would go to Japan, and we as U.S. citizens suffer from the lack of it. Permission was given for resolutions pertaining to Family Court Judge to be presented if the first resolution is defeated and the CFR vehicle building at the airport, be considered at this meeting. RESOLUTION NO. 22—ENDORSEMENT OF BUSINESS INVESTMENT EXEMPTION Moved by Mr. Dates, seconded by Mr. Culligan. WHEREAS, Chapter 278 of the Laws of 1976 provides for business invest- ment exemption, and WHEREAS, said chapter provides for ten-year tax exemption on new con- struction, alterations, installations or improvements for the purpose of commer- cial, business or industrial activity where the cost exceeds $10,000.00, and WHEREAS, said exemption applies to construction commenced after January 1, 1976 and completed after July 1, 1976, and WHEREAS, the measure of the exemption is 50% of the increase in assessed value due to said construction or improvement in the first year and decreasing 5% each year thereafter for nine years, and WHEREAS, this exemption will provide an incentive to local business, indus- trial and commercial establishments to expand and expend monies in the improve- ment of their facilities, and WHEREAS, pursuant to said law, the owner may submit application for said exemption to the County Assessor, and WHEREAS, the law states that where no action is taken by the County, the exemption will apply to the taxes to be levied by the County thereafter, and WHEREAS, it is the recommendation of the Budget and Administration Com- mittee, That this Board express its intent that it is wholeheartedly in favor of said business investment exemption as added by Chapter 278 of the laws of 1976, now therefore be it 22 February 14, 1977 RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Administration Commit- tee, That this Board approves the business investment exemption aforesaid and reiterates its position that it will take no action which will reduce the percentage of said exemption and reiterates and expresses its policy of cooperating with com- mercial business and industrial enterprise in Tompkins County in every way pos- sible to induce and aid them to remain in Tompkins County and to expand their facilities in Tompkins County. It was Moved by Mrs. Livesay that an amendment be made as follows: WHEREAS, Chapter 278 of the Laws of 1976 provides for ten-year tax ex- emption on new construction, alterations, installations or improvements for the purpose of commercial, business or industrial activity where the cost exceeds $10,000.00, and the measure of the exemption is 50% of the increase in assessed value due to said construction or improvement in the first year and decreasing 5% each year thereafter for nine years, and WHEREAS, the law provides for no local flexibility except to allow local tax- ing jurisdictions to reduce the percentage of exemption, and WHEREAS, to permit the 50% exemption at this time will benefit owners of improvements already commenced or completed rather than only to be an incentive to new development, thus cutting into a badly needed expansion of our tax base, the effect of which is to increase the tax burden on every other taxpayer, commer- cial and residential, throughout the county, and WHEREAS it is the recommendation of the Special Legislative Committee that this Board work for an amendment to the state legislation that would allow greater flexibility to taxing jurisdictions such as, but not limited to: determining types of business which may be offered incentives, setting their own effective dates later than those in the 1976 legislation, and permitting counties to grant different exemptions to different municipalities within their boundaries, to foster greater intermunicipal cooperation, now therefore be it RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Special Legislative Committee that this Board reduce the aforesaid business exemption to zero percent at this time, and RESOLVED, further. That the Special Legislative Committee and this Board will vigorously pursue the development and adoption of state legislation that would make this business investment exemption a more valuable tool for encour- aging development and to serve local needs, and RESOLVED, further, That this Board also will act to grant exemptions under such amended legislation at its earliest opportunity, and RESOLVED, further, That if such legislative changes are not forthcoming, the granting of the exemption under the existing legislation will be promptly re- considered, and RESOLVED, further, That copies of this resolution be sent to Senator Smith, Assemblyman Lee, Chamber of Commerce, David Cutting, Vincent Giordano, James Rothschild, Thomas Bennett and Jack Babbage. Mrs. Ruth Mahr made a statement recommending against passage of the pro- posed tax rebate legislation or until we have a clear consensus on what we hope to achieve, in qualitative and quantitative terms, by the encouragement of eco- nomic growth in this county. She made an alternative proposal to develop a set of criteria for the kinds of new industry which is desirable here. Mr. Richard Comstock spoke reiterating the position of the Chamber of Com- merce urging adoption of the maximum exemption authorized under the Real Property Tax Incentive Legislation in order to encourage the improvement of the business and industrial environment in this county. Mr. David Cutting, President of the Tompkins County Area Development Corporation, spoke in favor now and perhaps take a look at it later. They have accomplished a tremendous amount in this community in development and new jobs in the last three years and he asked for them to vote for this so we may have the tax abatement. February 14, 1977 23 Mr. Vincent Giordano, general building contractor, urged them to leave the tax statute as it is. Mr. James Rothschild felt additional development should be encouraged. Mr. Bennett feels it is a very important part of attracting and holding busi- nesses, that we can help both in the tax base but also in job base. Mr. Babbage, representing Ithaca Trades Council, stated they endorse this resolution and feel any stimulant to the economy at this time would be good. Representative Culligan stated a few years ago this board voted to bring in a cardboard container corporation and much money was spent but they failed. He feels if they had this legislation of this nature at that time, they could have suc- ceeded. Representative Ray feels this is the beginning of a lot of necessary changes in the tax structures of this state and if they don't get behind these changes and support them and continue to ask for more changes, they will be in a worse finan- cial situation than we are today. He is hopeful this board will take into considera- tion the future of everyone in this community not just a certain few. Representative Livesay said the amendment clearly states that the board would act as soon as possible to offer this kind of exemption. The people have a certain assurance if the amendment passes that this exemption will be offered for the next taxable year. Representative Theisen pointed out the Legislative Committee is not opposed to the exemption, they favor it, but felt they should take a better look at it. They would like to work towards more flexibility in the legislature so we could have more say over development of our economic base in the county. Mr. Robey said he still supports the original resolution and he feels the sug- gestion made to review it on a year-to-year basis is a good one. Mr. Williamson, County Attorney, ruled Mrs. Livesay's proposal should be an amendment. Mrs. Benson feels for the time being this is a good amendment and feels it would be good to have it reviewed at the beginning of the year. A vote was taken and the Amendment Lost. The original resolution was adopted with Representative Livesay voting no. RESOLUTION NO. 23A—REQUEST—FAMILY COURT JUDGE Moved by Mr. Webster, seconded by Mrs. Livesay. In 1971 by Section 182 of the Judiciary Law, a second Tompkins County Judge was elected. Mr. John Barney, Attorney, said we have been rotating judges back and forth servicing County Court, Surrogate and Family Court. He quoted from Section 131 and 137 of the Judiciary Law concerning Family Court whereby in cases of more than one county judge, he felt there was no reason why the appel- late division of the Supreme Court of Judiciary Department cannot be requested to designate one county judge to sit exclusively as Family Court Judge. Judge Bruce Dean spoke at length and referred to legislative changes that would elect a Family Court Judge which he favors. He doesn't feel the appellate division can appoint one if one is already elected as county court judge. Mr. Joseph Joch, District Attorney, feels there is an immediate problem here. He favors requesting Judge Zeller of the appellate division to appoint and if he fails to accept that, come back and ask for legislation. Representative Ray supports improved consistency and responsiveness in the operations of Tompkins County Family Court although he does not support this 24 February 14, 1977 legislative body taking formal legislative action on this issue, he does support the sharing of all this information and opinions gathered during discussion of this issue to those responsible for the assignment of the duties of our local judicial position. He suggested studying the situation in St. Lawrence County Family Court that puts a social worker called a confidential assistant under the control of the Family Court Judge. He would support a look at this type of extension of court staff to be more responsible. ➢Ir. Webster referred to a list of pros and cons which was distributed to the board. He feels the discussion has been fruitful. He said now he would prefer to request the appellate division would be they would have a judge who would have responsibility in three courts but who would serve in Family Court because it does offer more flexibility. According to Rules of the Board, Mr. Theisen was excused from voting be- cause he felt he had an indirect interest in the position and asked to abstain. Mr. Webster said it would mean according to his interpretation that if at a future time if it was determined there is a greater need in Family Court, the ap- pellate division administratively could move him over. RESOLVED, That the Tompkins County Board of Representatives recom- mends the Appellate Division, Third Department, That the next Tompkins County Court Judge either elected or appointed be exclusively designated to the Family Court for an indefinite period. A roll call resulted as follows: Ayes—Representatives Culligan, Dates, Hol- den, Ray, Robey, Webster — 6. Noes — Representatives Benson, Clynes, Haight, Livesay, Miller, Watros, MacNeil -7.

Under privilege of the floor Mrs. Pauline Darrett again spoke opposing the Human Rights Commission. Mr. Miller, Chairman, Social Services Committee, said they met and there is a resolution on the agenda to execute an agreement with Cornell University pro- viding technical assistance and information services for the Social Services De- partmentwhich he will withdraw later in the meeting. Mr. Culligan, Chairman, Health Committee, said the committee met and there are resolutions on the agenda dealing with Senior Citizens programs. He said the Health Department reported that there are some sewage system problems. The Health Department is aware of the flyash situation at Milliken Station in the Town of Lansing. There is going to be a review of the entire Sanitary Code in Tompkins County. There will be a public hearing. There is a resolution for a posi- tion at the hospital for a new account clerk on the agenda today. The Mental Health Department is having difficulty filling the position of Director. The com- mittee approved a request to Mr. Hurlbut, Personnel Commissioner, for a revalua- tion of the position. He also reported there are two vacancies on the Mental Health Board. Mr. Clynes said there are resolutions on the agenda for personnel at the hos- pital. He said the hospital adopted a plastic ID card. The system will be funded through the trustees, or if they don't have it, through existing equipment line for this year's budget. Mr. Robey said the Mental Health Board feels the position of Director of Mental Health Services should be Grade 20 because of the difficulties of filling the position at Grade 19. They voted to ask Mrs. Jane Cullings to be the acting direc- tor so she would have the authority to make decisions. This has the approval of the state. They would be paying her at the Grade 19 level until a permanent direc- tor is found. He said they have had an alcohol coordinator for some years entirely funded by state funds. At the same time they had a drug coordinator, partially funded by the county and partially by the state. They had a number of contract drug and alcohol programs. This whole area is being reconsidered because of state funding withdrawing in part and the county in the next few years will be asked to contribute further resources for that entire area. The Economic Opportunity Corporation is going to be asking for funding for their alcohol program. The Mental Health Board felt the drug and alcohol programs should be better coordi- nated in the county and there should probably be eventually one coordinator for all these kinds of programs. February 28, 1977 31 Mr. Webster asked if there is a public Health Department policy on com- plaints of noncompliance and methods of informing the public. Mr. Clynes, Chairman, Planning and Public Works, met and had a presenta- tion by Commissioner Robert Wagner of the Social Services Department and Ms. Susan Clarke, Director of the Office for the Aging, on central information and re- ferral system and anticipate receiving from them an update on that plan. They also were informed by John Joubert, Airport Manager, about the increase in Allegheny service at the airport. They have scheduled interviews for engineering services on the runway overlay project and also an update on the plan that was proposed a few years ago about zoning the heating system in the courthouse and in addition other energy conservation items that might be included in one project. He said in his conversation with our Congressman there is a possibility that the president's energy bill may possibly provide some funding for projects of this nature. Mr. Holden, Chairman, Personnel Committee, said the committee met Last week. Regarding the director of Mental Health Services, the committee is backing Grade 19. They discussed the creation of position of account clerk at the hospital; upgrading the position of nurses. They also approved Mr. Hugh Hurlbut's request to attend the County Officers' meeting. They also discussed the creation of a pro- bation assistant. Mr. Watros, Chairman, Intergovernmental Relations Committee, said there will be appointments to the library Board of Trustees later. Mrs. Livesay, Chairman, Legislative Committee, said the committee meetings will be held the Tuesday following board meetings. She announced that the Re- gional Conference of the Supervisors' and County Legislators' Association will be held here March 31. The Municipal Officials' Association will be meeting and the program is the dog control situation. She and Bill Brothers are trying to get the extended contract in operation. They will have appointments to make to the En- vironmental Management Council. She said there is a resolution from the Environ- mental Management Council supporting Armand Adams' Route 96 proposal. The committee decided the best way they can accomplish something on the various legislative things that will be coming before them is to appoint subcommittees of citizens who can spend time to dig into some of these problems. At the chairman's request, they have been looking into the 4D mandates in the Social Services De- partment. She attended a meeting in Binghamton regarding the social services cuts in the governor's budget. Mr. Theisen read a letter from Mrs. Erneste Cottrell who retired from the Human Rights Commission after many years of service, expressing her thanks for the resolution of appreciation. Mrs. Benson, Health Alliance, said they met and are making progress. Mr. Haight, Chairman, Public Safety and Correction, said the committee met February 25th and considered the bids on the Sheriff's cars. They also discussed population problems at the jail. They are overcrowded and have some inmates at the Schuyler County Jail. Mr. Webster said the Southern Tier East Regional Planning Crime Advisory Board is engaged in a multi -county regional study for a detention facility which would include Tompkins County. There is a possibility if this were to come about, of using it as a model for regional or multi -county facility to be federally funded. Mr. Haight said there is room to build six more cells at the jail. The cost would be about $100,000 and they don't feel this would answer the problem because more than six cells are needed. Mr. Culligan noted there are $10,000 worth of plans to build a city/county jail. The plan was turned clown several years ago. Mr. Dates said if the plans were 32 February 28, 1977 not used the city was to reimburse the county a percentage of the cost which has not been done. Mr. Dates, Chairman, Budget and Administration Committee, said Mr. Thomas Payne, Director of Assessment, and the Assessment Department and the Intergovernmental Relations Study Committee will have a seminar on assessing next week. There will be meetings to let elected officials and landowners know how their property is assessed and answer questions about assessing. Mr. Murphy, County Administrator, brought the board up-to-date on the in- surance problems. The county contracted with Mayper Company to update the in- surance. The Budget and Administration Committee discussed the approval to proceed with an inventory and appraisal of the contents of the buildings. As far as the buildings themselves are concerned, they feel they have current, adequate information. A representative of the insurance company and the Assessment De- partment agree on the total value of each building. The cost is $4700 as an initial item and if continued on an annual update it is $470 per year. They would like to explore the insurance accounts first to see if they have adequate funds and hope- fully they will be able to come up with adequate funds within the current accounts to cover the cost of this item. Mr. Williamson, County Attorney, reported they are still awaiting a decision on improper practice charge. Mr. MacNeil said he received a letter from the Executive Committee of the Environmental Management Council which he will respond to regarding the pro- posed coal-fired plant in the Town of Lansing. He also said the Board of Managers has been considering the management of the hospital and he will send a memo of understanding to the Health Committee and the Budget and Administration Com- mittee for their consideration and amendment, and hopefully it could be forwarded to the Board of Managers within the next two weeks. He said he and Mr. Clynes have been attending energy meetings regarding shortage of energy and impact on our community. There is a booklet available from NYSE&G that shows how to cut down on energy and save money on fuel bills. Mr. MacNeil said regarding the Route 96 corridor the Town of Ithaca, City of Ithaca and County of Tompkins planners have met many long hours and repeat- edly investigated many different alternatives and plans. If anyone has an interest in reviewing plans, they can get them from the Planning Department. Mrs. Livesay said the Environmental Management Council believes if the total community were to be behind a change in the corridor, there would not be a four to five year delay, which they are being told by the state that a change in the cor- ridor would cause. She thinks they are asking the board to take the leadership in getting this together to commit the planners to take a serious look at that more northerly route that is being proposed. Mr. MacNeil said he will ask Mr. Frank Liguori and Mr. Van Cort to meet with the Environmental Management Council and review again the progress they have made and the alternate route to be investigated. Permission was granted for resolutions pertaining to contract with Cornell University, authorization to execute agreement for the Office for the Aging for space be withdrawn, and add resolutions authorizing application to FAA and NYSDOT for airport improvement projects, and authorization to continue SPCA contract.

On motion, meeting adjourned at 11:59 a.m. PUBLIC HEARING MARCH 14, 1977 The Chairman called the public hearing to order at 9:45 a.m. and he read the notice as it appeared in the official newspapers. LOCAL LAW NO. 1-1977 AMENDMENT TO LOCAL LAW NO. 1-1976 BE IT ENACTED by the Board of Representatives of the County of Tomp- kins as follows: Section 1. Section 2 of Local Law No. 1 adopted for the year, 1976, shall be amended to read as follows: "Any owner of a dog who shall neglect to confine the dog as required by an Order made pursuant to Sec- tion 115 of the Agriculture and Markets Law shall be subject to a penalty of $10.00. Any owner of a dog who shall neglect to confine the dog as required by Orders made pursuant to Section 115 (a) of the Agriculture and Markets Law shall be subject to a penalty of $25.00." Section 2. This local law shall be effective immediately. Mrs. Livesay explained the reason for this is because of complications in Ag- riculture and Markets Law. Section 115 and 115 (a) calls for two different penal- ties under the law. This is to bring our local law in conformance with the Agricul- ture and Markets Law in New York State. Mr. Bill Brothers, S.P.C.A., said there are two laws restricting dogs from running loose—the night quarantine for $10.00 fine and the $25.00 fine applies to the 24 hour quarantine which is in effect from February 22 to April 16. Mr. Jim Caslick from Newfield spoke. He said he contacted the Department of Agriculture and Markets who replied these emergency orders do not prohibit a dog from being free on its owner's property during the time of the order. He re- quested the publicity given to the order be accurate. The public hearing was closed at 9:55 a.m. 38 March 14, 1977 REGULAR MEETING MARCH 14, 1977 The Chairman called the meeting to order at 10:00 a.m. Present: Representatives -12. Excused—Representatives Haight, Ray, Miller —3. Members and guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance. The Chairman asked if there were any corrections or additions to the minutes of February 28, 1977. Mr. Theisen asked that a correction be made and the name of Pauline Satterly be put in instead of Alice Young, where he laid names on the table for consideration of appointment to the Library Board of Trustees. Permis- sion was granted. Mrs. Livesay said regarding Resolution No. 50—Award of Bid—Sheriff's Cars, she would like the minutes to show that the recommendation of the Public Safety Committee was to stay within the budgeted amount and the recommendation for appropriating the extra money came from the Budget and Administration Com- mittee. The Chairman referred this to the Clerk for clarification by the next board meeting. The Clerk noted the following correspondence had been received for filing and/or referred to the proper committee for action: Answers and objections to Interrogatories Case 80002 NYSE&G Cayuga Sta- tion, ruling on staff motions; NYS Department of Environmental Conservation re availability of flood insurance in Tompkins County; copy of letter from Joel Rob- inson, NYS Department of Labor re Balance of State advisory groups may be formed locally; Department of Labor memorandums re maintenance of effort and use of CETA funds for rehires and also clarification of the Emergency Jobs Pro- gram Extension Act of 1976 Section 3 (A) (1) and (2) and Part B; copy of letter of thanks from Wyoming County Department of Highways to Tompkins County for their assistance during the recent blizzard; copy of Bill No. A2388 (S1955) to amend election law establishing political calendar; copy of a letter from NYS De- partment of Civil Service estimating health insurance appears to indicate mini- mal increase, if any, through June 1978; executed copies of change orders (Res.

Under privilege of the floor, Mrs. Pauline Darrett spoke in opposition to the Human Rights Commission. Mrs. Betty 0. Muka spoke under privilege of the floor and said that since the Board had failed to act on her complaints against county officials, she intended to subpoena every Board member to appear March 28. Chairman MacNeil said a process server should ask his permission. Mr. Robey asked for a ruling from the County Attorney whether subpoenas can be given to public bodies while in deliberations. Mr. George Pfann, Assistant County Attorney, said if the Chairman wishes to deny granting someone the privilege of going around during the meeting, he has the right to do that. Mr. Webster stated much time has passed since Mrs. Pauline Darrett has been bringing complaints about the Human Rights Commission to this board. He said there were meetings with her on two occasions to discuss this situation. Various committees reported as follows: Mr. Robert Wagner, Commissioner of Social Services, reported on the IV -D Program. He said Title IV -D of the Federal Social Security Act entitled "Child Support and Establishment of Paternity" became law in January 1975, effective August 1, 1975. Between August 1975 and December 1976 the NYS Department of Social Services kept issuing changes, updates, interim procedures. In December 1976 they received the final draft and regulations and were required to move ahead with implementation. The major provisions of the program include: Establishment of a separate IV -D Unit or organization to conduct this business; requires that the client assigns to the Department of Social Services all child support rights; support payments to be made directly to Department of Social Services with full public assistance grants then being given to eligible recipients; requires coopera- tion of applicant client in establishment of paternity, location of absent parent and obtaining support. The federal government will reimburse 75%. The presentation was presented to the Social Services Committee. The Social Services Department will be doing everything with the exception of actual collection of the money. Col- lection will be made at the Probation Department in their Support Bureau. The Social Services Department will be receiving the support monies from Probation and entering into their accounts. The Department will have monitoring functions and initiate "violation" actions to get the case back in Family Court. Seventy-five per cent of all the costs will be federally reimbursed and the balance will be split 121/2 per cent state and 121/2 per cent local. As a further incentive for counties to participate in the IV -D Program the federal government has changed the method to handle the recovery of support payments, a greater portion of the monies col- lected may now be retained by the county. Seventy-five per cent reimbursement also covers the Probation and court costs attributable to IV -D. At this time Pro- bation is collecting for 250 to 300 IV -D cases. It is expected when the Social Serv- ices Department 1V -D Unit is fully operational, there will be another 250 cases for a total of 500 to 550 cases. Mr. Webster suggested perhaps getting the Public Safety and Corrections, Social Services, Personnel Committees together with the department heads that would be affected to further study the needs and report back to the board. Mr. Culligan, Chairman, Health Committee, said they will meet tomorrow 40 March 14, 1977 with hospital administration and also the Mental Health Department. There are two vacancies on the Mental Health Board. The staff of Mental Health wants to form an advisory committee. Mrs. Benson, Health Services Alliance, said they are considering alternative plans. Mr. Clynes read for the minutes the Planning and Public Works Committee report of March 3. They interviewed a selected list of applicants for the role of consulting engineer on the airport runway project. Federal officials have requested a conference this month with the selected engineer. The committee recommends T. G. Miller PC be retained and will submit a resolution to this effect at the ap- propriate time. Upon recommendation of Commissioner Stevenson, the proposal for zoning of the heating system in the courthouse was reopened. Discussion was held with Roger Wadsworth of the firm of Personius and Wadsworth which did the original documents. In the original consideration in 1972 ( ?) the project was turned down on the basis that a $900.00 annual saving in fuel did not warrant a capital investment of $36,000.00. In the light of today's energy conservation needs and energy costs the committee felt a reexamination was advisable. An update will be broadened to include window modifications, ceiling insulation and any other possibilities for energy reduction. Since there is a common service to three build- ings, namely the two courthouses and the County Jail, the update will include all three buildings. The cost involved is not to exceed $1,000.00 and will have to be appropriated when billing is rendered. The committee is hopeful that in the im- mediate future, funding other than local may be available for a project of this nature. Mr. Holden, Chairman, Personnel Committee, said they met regarding CETA. They are anticipating more funds. He believes there is work being done to try to find out from the state whether the Mental Health Director position could be re- written and not affect state aid. The Personnel Committee decided on Grade 19. Mr. Watros, Intergovernmental Relations Committee, said they met and drafted a resolution concerning county/library relations which is on today's agen- da. He said he would like them to consider the appointment of Clinton Cotterill from the Town of Dryden to the Intergovernmental Relations Study Committee later in the meeting. Mrs. Livesay, Chairman, Special Legislative Committee, said an active study subcommittee is looking into the Agriculture and Markets Law on dog control. They will be moving ahead and hope to make a recommendation to the state soon. She has been meeting with the Chamber of Commerce and identified areas that the chamber and committee and other individuals in town that are interested could work on. One is business incentive legislation, another is problems of minimum wage and child labor laws that could affect youth entering labor force and business facilities use of untrained and unskilled young people for various jobs. Laws are now so stringent they think it is hurting local businesses and young people in the community. They hope to form a committee to look into that. They have had two requests from other counties for legislation—one regarding extending advantages that are given to New York State Veterans under Civil Service law to veterans who did not live in New York State before they went into the service. It is the committee's decision because of the unemployment problems in New York State, while they are in sympathy with not discriminating against them just because they lived in New York State before they went into the service, perhaps this is not the right time to invite veterans in from other states. Another was requesting the board to pass resolution requesting restoration of Division for Youth funding that has been cut from the Governor's budget, which is on the agenda today. At tomor- row's Committee meeting they will be dealing with the area of welfare reform. Regarding the IV -D Program, since several committees will be looking into it, her committee will hold up their decision. Mr. Theisen reported the Environmental Management Council asked him to convey to the board that they are considering the possibility of use of abandon- March 14, 1977 41 ment railroad rights-of-way for bicycle and recreational use. They are still inves- tigating. He urged board members to read the Human Rights Commission Annual Report and the Library Annual Report. Mr. Murphy, County Administrator, updated the board on Conrail. Conrail has acquired the line which runs to Milliken Station from Lehigh Valley Railroad. They acquired it as of April 1, 1976. They acquired it in a manner which said they become responsible for taxes only as of that date. Everything prior to that date which has been unpaid, remains unpaid and will probably only be settled through litigation with Lehigh Valley Railroad through brankruptcy procedures. They have held on the books the unpaid taxes for 1976 for towns, county and school districts. Conrail has proposed setting up a trust fund into which they will pay their taxes after April 1. Municipalities involved must set up some kind of procedure which will say contrary to their current procedure that they will accept less than full payment in full wipe off of the taxes after April 1. This involves many municipali- ties in New York State so the county attorney will be contacting the attorney gen- eral to see what the county has to do to agree to accept this money. There will probably have to be a state ruling or action by this board to agree to accept the 1976 portion of the taxes due from April 1, 1976. Mr. Stevenson, Hospital Construction Committee, said the work has been go- ing on because of the good weather. There are several change orders on the agenda today. Reports of all meetings are on file with the clerk. Chairman MacNeil noted the clerk has a copy of the union contract. It looks like there may be a contract in the near future. He also said there is a dinner meeting this evening to start off Space Odyssey Week. RESOLUTION NO. 53—ADOPTION OF LOCAL LAW NO. 1-1977 Moved by Mrs. Livesay, seconded by Mr. Watros. Adopted with Representa- tives Clynes, MacNeil casting dissenting votes.

RESOLUTION NO. 54—COUNTY/LIBRARY RELATIONS Moved by Mr. Theisen, seconded by Mr. Watros. Mrs. Ormondroyd from the Library Board of Trustees said one of the problems they have is not knowing who is in charge and not knowing who has the authority to make decisions. She urged action as soon as possible. Mr. Robey said the Intergovernmental Relations Com- mittee has looked at this for at least six months. He thinks it represents a work- able relationship. He urged the passage of this resolution. Further discussion took place and Mr. Dates felt more time is needed to digest this information. It was Moved by Mr. Dates, seconded by Mr. Kidney, that this resolution be tabled until 42 March 14, 1977 April. Motion to table adopted with Representatives Webster and Robey casting dissenting votes. Chairman MacNeil asked in tabling this that the committee that is going to study this look into the question of continuity of administration of the library.

They would like to have the hospital remain a county hospital but have more freedom of running it. Mr. Robey reported there was a Mental Health Board meeting and it was an- nounced that Florence Ricciutti has been hired as Alcoholism Coordinator to the end of December until funding runs out for that position. Mental Health personnel March 28, 1977 49 are going to meet with the Personnel Committee Wednesday to determine whether the Mental Health Director position should be Grade 19 or Grade 20. The Mental Health Board appeared before the Health Committee at their last meeting con- cerning a position for Meadow House.

Excused —Representative Watros-1. Amendment Lost. There was a voice vote on the resolution. Resolution Lost. WHEREAS, Governor Hugh L. Carey has recommended in his Executive Budget certain tax and spending cuts to the New York State Legislature, and WHEREAS, this budget seeks to reduce state taxes and forestall local taxes; establish a long term framework for curtailing spending by both levels; and im- prove the state's economy through investments supporting expansion of the pri- vate sector, and WHEREAS, the specific proposals in the budget seem to run counter to the aforesaid objectives, and WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Board of Representatives supports the ob- jectives but not the specific proposals, now therefore be it RESOLVED, upon recommendation of the Special Legislative Committee, That the Tompkins County Board of Representatives recommends to the legisla- ture the following changes in the proposals made by the Governor for the accom- panying reasons: 1. Restoration of the threefold cut in Supportive Service money under the Federal Title XX allocation and the restoration of the state -local match for serv- ices over the ceiling. A. To discontinue preventive services for child abuse can only result in the loss of family stability and more expensive foster care in the short run or the increase in criminal justice and welfare costs in the long run as child abuse has been closely related to the development of violent crim- inal tendencies in the abused child, and child neglect to the tendency to fail in school and the subsequent inability to hold a job, thus creating more welfare recipients. B. Cuts to Day Care for non -recipients will force marginally employed parents onto welfare rolls at greater cost to the county; the resultant loss of parental self esteem could lead to child abuse; deprives children of the social, nutritional, educational and emotional benefits of quality day care during their formative years. C. The increase in administrative money at the state level at the expense of providing service money at the local level will cost more at the local level than those dollars cut as in A & B above. Also the increased ex- penditure at the State level is creating positions that will require new positions at the local level to do the increased paper work. 2. De -institutionalization of mental hygiene patients is a laudable objective but should be accompanied by providing to the local governments that portion of the resultant savings needed by the local governments for the provision of ade- quate services to the clients. 3. Reduce the amount of mandated paper work in Social Services to the mini- mum amount needed for an efficient job. Unnecessary paper work is expensive for both state and local level and is an unwarranted harassment of the client. 4. Pass 5.4111-A.6408, An Act to amend the social services law, in relation to use of federal funds for child day care services. A. To not spend these monies as intended in PL94-401 to bring day care staffing up to federal standards amounts to a misappropriation of these funds by the state. B. Hiring of welfare recipients under this law would reduce welfare costs to federal, state and local governments, and could assist in breaking a pendency on welfare for those individuals. 5. Carefully consider whether proposed income maintenance and medical as- sistance cuts will save anything or cost more in the long run. A. The cuts to rent allowances may cause more families to seek emergency March 28, 1977 51 assistance when expenses exceed income and the families deplete all of their resources. B. By denying M.A. to the "medically needy" whose income or resources are about the welfare levels may force many such onto the welfare roles. 6. The $2.57 billion being proposed to be spent as Capital investment in Public Works Projects should not be spent unless vitally needed and not just to provide construction jobs. More emphasis should be put on mass transit and railways than on building more highways and bridges. A. Workers laid off in social service agencies will be just as unemployed and with more serious damage to society. B. New highways and bridges will continue to be a drain in maintenance costs to state and local governments. Transportation is extremely im- portant to the economy and to human services and we must seek to provide it in the most efficient and economical manner. 7. Cuts in income tax at all but the lowest levels must be delayed until we are able to effect real economies in all of our services. Cutting the income tax and state aid to localities will force an increase in the more regressive property tax, or the neglecting of problems which will ultimately become more costly at every level. RESOLVED, further, That the State, in conjunction with local governments seek to evaluate the needs and resources of the State, to do some long range plan- ning so that solutions to the real problems will be found. The effect of this budget is increasing administrative costs at the expense of the needs of the people and leaving local governments to pick up the pieces and foot the bill. RESOLVED, further, That copies of this resolution be forwarded to Senator William T. Smith, Assemblyman Gary A. Lee, Governor Hugh L. Carey and New York State Commissioner of Social Services. RESOLUTION NO. 66—OBJECTION TO THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSED REDUCTION OF UNIFIED COURT BUDGET SHARING FROM 25% TO 121/2% Moved by Mrs. Livesay, seconded by Mr. Webster. Adopted with Representa- tive Robey casting a dissenting vote. WHEREAS, on good faith and belief, all 57 counties in the State of New York in the Fall of 1976 were obliged to radically change their budgeting format due to the announced assumption by the state of 25% of local court costs in the year 1977, pursuant to the hasty and precipitate enactment last July, at the Governor's urging, of Chapter 966 of the Laws of 1976 providing for the State's take over of all court services, i.e., Surrogates, Family, County, etc., at the county level, and WHEREAS, this confused situation with the attendant and rather perplexing instructions was finally digested by county fiscal officers who were compelled, at the behest of the Office of Court Administration, to provide for a pay over to the State of New York, after April 1, 1977, of 75% of their 1976 budget court costs, and WHEREAS, County governments have been apprised of the alarming news that the Governor is ostensibly proposing to mandate a reduction in the first year of the State's cost sharing of county level court operations from 25% to 121/2%, now therefore be it RESOLVED, upon recommendation of the Special Legislative Committee, That the Tompkins County Board of Representatives protest the reduction in the state share of court costs after county budgets have been adopted and taxes col- lected, RESOLVED, further, That this board requests that the legislature restore to the state budget the amount necessary for the state to meet the commitment to 25% of the court costs, and thus to resore some credibility to the state and strengthening of the linkage between state and local government, and RESOLVED, further, That copies of this resolution be forwarded to Senator William T. Smith, Assemblyman Gary A. Lee and Hugh L. Carey, Governor. 52 March 28, 1977 RESOLUTION NO. 67—AUTHORITY TO EXECUTE ALL CONTRACTS FOR SERVICES ON BEHALF OF THE COUNTY Moved by Mr. Dates, seconded by Mr. Miller. Discussion followed.

The following resolution was lifted from the table. RESOLUTION NO. 45—AUTHORIZATION TO EXECUTE AGREEMENT— AREA PLAN—OFFICE FOR THE AGING (Tabled February 28) Moved by Mr. Culligan, seconded by Mr. Miller. Adopted. WHEREAS, the Area Plan for the Tompkins County Office for the Aging was approved by the Board of Representatives for the year, 1977, by resolution adopted at a regular meeting November 22, 1976, and WHEREAS, said Area Plan set forth six approved objectives involving po- tential agreements with six area agencies, and WHEREAS, to implement and expedite the various objectives and the plan as approved by this Board, the Health Committee recommends that required agree- ments between the local agencies be approved by the Health Committee and exe- cuted by the Chairman of the Board after review by the County Attorny, now therefore be it RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Health Committee, That agreements required to implement the approved Area Plan for 1977 be executed by the Chair- man of the Board after approval of same by the Health Committee, the Director and the County Attorney.

Under privilege of the floor Mrs. Betty O. Muka alleged the Board has not done anything about her complaints. She said they will hear from her in a private capacity for being negligent. She mentioned there was an article in the Ithaca Journal in 1975 that there was a committee appointed to investigate her charges. She asked again to have a committee investigate. Mr. Robey read the following memorandum into the record that he sent to the Board: To: Members of the Board of Representatives I am discouraged that we seem to be making no progress in complet- ing the reorganization of the County's Mental Health Department which we voted upon last year. The Mental Health Board has not been able to fill the position of di- rector of mental health services. The Personnel Committee has declined to approve an increase in grade, which would make the salary more com- petitive, and there appears little possibility of finding a director at the current salary. The Mental Health Board does not believe the County should disre- gard the State's professional and experience qualifications for this posi- tion, because they feel a person without these qualifications would be ineffective. A meeting on this subject is being set for next week. Jane Cullings, who has performed with distinction in the role of act- ing director, does not plan to remain in that position indefinitely. Unless the situation is soon resolved, the County may find itself completely without leadership in the Mental Health Department. The Mental Health Board is dedicated and talented group. Rather than ignoring the administrative problems of the department, they took action. In the past two years they have been asked to do much more than most other boards, and they have embarked on a course which will eventually strengthen the County's mental health programs and provide more effective administration. Having encountered repeated frustrations, however, the Mental Health Board feels at the end of its ability to carry the responsibility for the County's program. If the Board of Representatives does not support the Mental Health Board, its members will eventually become so frus- trated that they could resign, and much progress could be lost. The County Administrator, the Personnel Commissioner and commit- tees of the Board of Representatives must provide more active support for the efforts of the Mental Health Board. We cannot have it both ways. We cannot delegate responsibility to a board if we do not provide the tools to fulfill that responsibility. I recommend that the full Board of Representatives meet with the Mental Health Board to discuss both the problems of recruiting a director and the relationship between the boards. I ask that our Chairman call such a meeting, public as required by the Open Meetings Law, as soon as possible. Bryant Robey Health Committee Liaison to Mental Health Mr. Miller, Chairman, Social Services Committee, reported they met with Paul Tavelli, Assistant County Attorney, to discuss how they are going to attempt to handle fraud cases corning up in county court. They discussed a resolution April 11, 1977 57 which is on the agenda today regarding a non -secure detention facility. They had a meeting with the Human Services Coalition. Mr. Clynes reported two resolutions were passed by the Hospital Board of Managers regarding the cut in Medicaid and official notice to Blue Cross that they are considering exercising the option of being a non -contract hospital. Mr. Robey said there were two items considered by the Health Committee concerning Mental Health. They requested an additional position half time at Meadow House to make a program director full time. The committee took no ac- tion. The Mental Health Board v;ill be returning to the Health Committee for further discussion. The committee approved the extension of a contract for youth- ful drug abuse and he will ask to add that resolution to today's agenda. Mr. Clynes, chairman, Planning and Public Works Committee, reported the pre -engineering conference with the federal representatives was held March 31 at the airport. The committee met on April 6. The budget on the crash, fire, rescue building is being reviewed for possible reduction in response to federal representa- tive's request. He pointed out that all the pending projects of the airport have to be bid and awarded under contract by October 1. He said even though they are proceeding with schematics, etc. on the terminal improvements, still have to come back to the board for final approval. That is a different form of budgeting. They accepted delivery of the new fire, crash, rescue vehicle. Regarding the SEQR resolution, the committee would like to, rather than ask for, a public hearing on a local law at this time, set up a 9:45 a.m. informal hearing, April 25th, for any input on this legislation. Following that they will have a resolution setting a date for the public hearing. Mr. Holden, Chairman, Personnel Committee, reported the committee met and discussed the position of Mental Health Director. The committee is still recom- mending Grade 19. Mr. Hurlbut, Commissioner of Personnel, met with the Library trustees. He said the Chairman has appointed a Comprehensive Employment Training Act Review Committee. They will have a resolution regarding the county judicial offices. Mr. Theisen noted the Intergovernmental Relations Committee does plan to move the governance resolution on the library from the table at the April 25th board meeting. Mrs. Livesay, Chairman, Special Legislative Committee, said they will meet tomorrow and hope to order some priorities. Regarding the Stream Management meeting on April 21st, while it is stream management in general, she thinks it will address itself to problems in Six Mile Creek. The EMC continues to work not only on this but developing Fall Creek Management Program. The Area Beautification Council is planning a Spring Festival on May 14. Mr. Theisen felt one of the questions to be discussed at the Legislative Com- mittee meeting is how much the committee can do and what types of legislation should they really recommend to the board and whether they should make state- ments to Albany concerning the state budget or portions of it. It is a matter of determining what is practical and what is not. Mrs. Livesay said there are several things they have under consideration. Some are in the area of Social Services, others have to do with minimum wage, youth employment, dog control legislation, etc. Mr. Haight, Chairman, Public Safety and Corrections Committee, said they met and approved the Fire and Disaster Coordinator's attendance at the New York State Fire Chiefs' Conference, June 19 and the attendance of fire officials at the New York State Fire Coordinators' Conference at Montour Falls April 23-24. The Criminal Justice Advisory Board has requested a CETA position. The com- mittee approved bids for twelve, two frequency FM radios and one FM Repeater Transmitter for the Fire and Disaster Group and it is on the agenda today. John Miller was appointed to the New York State Fire Advisory Board. 58 April 11, 1977 Mr. Murphy, County Administrator, reported they have been advised by the Dormitory Authority they are going to sell bonds which will include their obliga- tion to Tompkins -Cortland Community College. They will be included with several other counties for a total bonding obligation of $68 million of which Tompkins - Cortland Community College is a relatively small portion of that—somewhere be- tween $8-9 million. He is to be at a meeting in New York April 20th regarding the bond proposal. Before May 6 there will have to be resolutions which will au- thorize the Dormitory Authority to act. The County Attorney said the county is obligated to sign the documents. Chairman MacNeil reminded the board of th'e public hearing on the proposed NYSE&G Corporation plant to be built near Milliken Station, May 3-6. He asked the Planning and Public Works Committee to sponsor a resolution regarding the board's position. Mr. Theisen asked the committee to seek input from the Environ- mental Management Council which is making a report on that question shortly. Mr. Robert Snedden is designated by the Environmental Management Council to review all the plans of the NYSE&G plant. He said several of them visited the flyash system NYSE&G is operating and there are several concerns looking into possible alternate uses of flyash and on-site location with ground for 30 -year in - ground flyash disposal system. There will be a meeting to discuss Mental Health problems April 22 at 4:00 p.m. Mr. MacNeil, referring to Mrs. Betty Muka's statement, said when Mr. Harry Kerr was Chairman of the Board, he was considering a seven man committee to investigate her situation but it was never appointed. In regard to the CETA Review Committee, Joel Robinson, State Manpower Planning Secretariat, and Mrs. Dowd, indicated the county had to prepare for ad- ditional amounts of money for the possibility of hiring people who have been un- employed and Mr. Robinson indicated people should be appointed from the follow- ing groups: Minority Employment Education Business Chamber of Commerce Veterans and Handicapped Agriculture James L. Gibbs, Charles Herndon William Gilmore Patrick Hamill Vincent G. Giordano, Elizabeth Cornish Donald E.

The members of the Board of Trustees are planning to unite with other institutions in the area to attempt to see if they can acquire funds in the supplemental budget. He is sure they will be requesting this board's support. Regarding the county -wide cable commission, it has received support in terms of municipal participation within the county.

At this time they do not have a resolution. If they do get something that would require action before the next board meeting, he will contact the chairman. Mr. Clark Hamlin, Chairman of the Special Representatives' Study Commit- tee, said they are trying to do an exhaustive survey across the state to see if they 66 April 25, '1977 can find ways they are doing things that might be helpful to this board. They hope to have an answer to the Board by June 1.

Mr. Liguori has infor- mation he will provide to the committee for their consideration. Chairman MacNeil said there have been discussions regarding several of the functions that Tompkins County performs in relation to perhaps possible inequi- ties in our salary schedule and he feels they have to treat these as a total. In order to properly evaluate the situation he appointed the following committee to identify possible inequities in the salary grade and report back to the full board recommended alternatives and to engage any help they feel necessary to fulfill their deliberations: Harris B. Dates, Donald J. Culligan, Claude W. Holden, John C. Clynes and William Burr.

He said there was a meeting regarding this and ideas were discussed as to the use of the right of way, such as running sewer lines along the railroad or electric line or for recreational purposes, bicycle paths, bridle paths, etc. Some farmers would like to rejoin the land that crosses theirs for farming purposes. He said with the energy problem it might be foolhardy to rule out the possibility someday a trolley line or rail service between Ithaca and Cortland. Mr. Jim Frye of Dryden said the idea of a scenic railroad has been discussed which would preserve the route. Mr. Clinton Cotterill said he has farmed for 25 years along the Lehigh Valley Railroad and was concerned about how it is going to be maintained, cutting of brush, picking up trash, etc. He said cows have been killed on the tracks when fences are not kept repaired. 72 May 9, 1977 Mr. Ron Beck said those that have property on both sides of the track have a problem keeping trash picked up and the fences fixed and is not a fair burden on the landowner. Mr. Clark Rowell, Sierra Club, felt the right of way is a valuable resource and should be preserved.

He noted some of the reasons from her letter of resignation. He said James Spero, Chairman of the Mental Health Board, has written a letter to several peo- ple in the community concerned with mental health suggesting they let them know they are concerned. The Mental Health Board wrote a letter to the Ithaca Journal in regard to the article that mental health costs appear high here. They approved a program of trips to Meadow House clients to nearby communities. They will have to recruit funds for that. Mr. Culligan said he has a letter from the Tompkins County Mental Health Association regarding extension of emergency care. They urged the committee to extend beyond June 12.

They made a decision to recommend to the Board of Health that some changes be made in that code to prohibit the burning of rubbish anywhere in the county.

Mr. Clark Hamlin, Chairman of the Special Representatives' Study Committee appointed by Chairman MacNeil, reported to the board on the committee's recom- mendations. He said they have had several meetings and made two surveys—one of the Board of Representatives here and one from other counties of the state. They had good response and have recommendations—not unanimous but they were the considered opinion of the committee. Regarding meetings, they looked at how they could increase citizen participation and how can they make this Board of Representatives more available to candidates running for the Board. They came to the conclusion that meeting time does not have much to do with citizen participa- tion. More often than not it is caused by particular items of interest to the public. In regard to changing the meeting time to make it available to more people, they came to the conclusion that an evening meeting would not necessarily be the only alternative to a day meeting. They suggested on a trial basis for one year a semi- monthly meeting at 4:00 p.m. The next recommendation regarded business and industry attitude toward policies for elected officials. They found Tompkins County was not unlike many counties that are very liberal to release time to legislators. 94 June 13, 1977 They feel they should continue to try to impress upon industry the importance of local government and the necessity that citizens participate and become members of this board. They also looked into the question of committees and came up with the recommendation that it might be better if additional staff were assigned to some of the committees. They felt it could ease the weight of taking committee minutes, writing up committee reports, research on specific issues, and informa- tion flow between committees and this board and public would be beneficial to both. On the salary question, they found through the survey that only four counties of those counties surveyed paid less than Tompkins County. They came to the con- clusion this was unrealistic. The average for counties our size, between 50,000 and 105,000 now pay close to $4500. Tompkins County pays $3500. They recommend the salary be raised to $4500. They are suggesting, however, it be done in two steps—raising to $4000 effective in January 1978 and then from $4000 to $4500 in 1980. The last recommendation was on the two -hat situation. There were mixed feelings on whether or not a member of the Board of Representatives should be allowed to also hold an elective office in the town, village or city. They came to the conclusion that this is a home rule right and feel if a town, village or city wishes that to be, then that should be their right to do it. They looked into the legal question and it is legal. It would require an amendment to the present Char- ter. It would also require an act of the jurisdiction—town, city or village. They are also suggesting they try to increase the amount of publicity as to meeting times, increase amount of information in the agenda, provide citizens with infor- mation when they come to a board meeting that would tell them what is happen- ing, who the members of the board are, and generally procedures of the board. Another suggestion is that the board room may not be the most ideal and possibly rearrangement of the desks could make more room for citizens. They were told in times past, that a training program was carried out for newly elected legislators and they feel it is a good idea and should be reconsidered again this year when newly elected legislators come on this board. Their last recommendation is that sufficient time has now gone by to allow them to make a good judgment as to effectiveness of the charter. They suggest a special committee be appointed to examine the charter. He said the committee appreciated the opportunity of work- ing for the board. He mentioned the names of the people on the committee—Lucia Armstrong, Virginia Bizzell, Edward Lutz, John Marcham, Harris Dates, Donald Culligan, W. David Curtiss. Discussion took place and Chairman MacNeil expressed appreciation to the committee and assigned the report to the Budget and Administration Committee to make a recommendation to the Board by June 27. Anyone on the Board or the public that would like to make input to the Budget and Administration Committee may do so. He also said a copy of this report is available in the Clerk's office. Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Ralph Jordan, Executive Director of the Tompkins County Chamber of Commerce, spoke about bottle legislation and wished to correct a misunderstanding that the businessmen who met with the Legislative Committee May 17th did not appear to oppose bottle legislation. The persons who attended were unanimously in opposition to bottle deposit legislation. He said if there were those on the board who voted to support such legislation truly believing it would not be detrimental to local business, he suggested recon- sideration of the issue. He also stated that not one of some twenty plus firms con- tacted to attend the meeting felt any positive reaction to such legislation locally. (No members requested reconsideration.) Mr. Sam Cohen from the Ithaca Youth Bureau, spoke under privilege of the floor expressing his concern on the County -wide Youth Bureau issue and is hope- ful the Board will decide in favor of a County -wide Youth Bureau. Mr. Watros requested that those here to speak re revenue sharing funds be allowed to speak when the resolution is presented. Mr. Miller, Chairman, Social Services Committee, said the committee met May 23. Since then they met with John Murphy on the IV -D Program and hope to June 13, 1977 95 have a resolution to present June 27. He said the Alcoholism Steering Committee has met on trying to coordinate alcoholism programs in Tompkins County. He said possibly by next August or September there will be a request for county money because of combination of two programs. Mr. Culligan, Chairman, Health Committee, said interviews are being held with people who have indicated to the New York State Civil Service that they are interested in possibly becoming a Director of the Mental Health Services here. The Health Committee will meet June 21 at 7:30 p.m. There is a resolution on the agenda today for a transfer of funds for the Mental Health Department. Mr. Clynes announced there will be a special meeting of the Hospital Board of Managers regarding hospital governance tonight at 7:30 p.m. Mr. Robey announced the mental health liaison has been divided up and Mrs. Benson is liaison to drug and alcohol programs, Mr. Dates is liaison to Challenge Industries and Mr. Robey will continue as liaison to the Mental Health Board. Mr. Clynes, Chairman, Planning and Public Works Committee, pointed out they will be going to bid on the crash, fire, rescue building at the airport in the next two weeks. They will include a ninety -day delay clause in award of the con- tract so they can be sure of funding. Regarding the SEQR resolution, the staff is still working. There is a September 1 partial deadline and if it holds, they will bring a recommendation to this Board. Mr. Clynes said on the youth committee report that in deference to the special committee handling it and the work the County Planning Board has done on it, that he felt as Chairman of the Planning and Public Works Committee that that is where it belongs and it should come from the County Planning Board to this group. Mr. Holden reported the Personnel Committee met last Thursday on CETA positions. On CETA Stimulus Funds, tied in with the request for increased posi- tions in personnel, we anticipate about 1.5 million total on the 45 projects and about 196 people approved by the committee and on to the state. Mr. Watros said the Intergovernmental Relations Committee met last Wednesday. They discussed appointments to EOC and the Intergovernmental Re- lations Study Committee for later in this meeting and they are requesting nomi- nees for the Library Board of Trustees for appointment at the next meeting. Mrs. Livesay said the Special Legislative Committee met May 24 and will meet again June 14. There will be resolutions later in the meeting. She said she had thought of requesting legislation to have alcohol beverage tax money put back into programs for alcoholism. The Committee felt the county should proceed on implementation of SEQR, that by considering our own regulations we might bet- ter recommend changes in the State regulations. Mr. Haight reported the Public Safety and Corerction Committee met June 7 for discussion of specifications for a car in the Sheriff's Department to be mainly used for the detective division but at times for pursuit. We are asking this Board for advice on either a six or an eight cylinder car. Sheriff Howard requested a mid-size car to be used in all kinds of road conditions and to transport prisoners. Mr. Dates asked specifically if these specifications could be met by Ford, Gen- eral Motors, and Chrysler. Mr. Webster said they shortened the wheel base on the specifications and that now he felt everybody could bid. Mr. Haight said the Sheriff's lowest request for wheelbase was 1127/(i inches, the committee decided on 110 and now were discussing 109. In a voice vote the Board decided on 109 inch wheelbase. Mr. Burr said there were other questions on specifications and the chairman told those interested to contact Mr. Burr by Wednesday. Mr. Murphy, County Administrator, reported on a meeting last Wednesday with Jack Gilroy and Warren Currier of Challenge, and although there is a possi- bility of certain funding either State or Federal but if in fact there are cuts, they feel they can get through the year with the $16,095 with managerial steps. The 96 June 13, 1977 county -owned property resolution is property at 213 S. Plain Street. On the hos- pital revenue anticipation note, we have a payment due Wednesday to the State of New York for approximately 1.5 million dollars in retirement funds for the current year's payment -1977. The hospital share is approximately $749,000. We have already advanced $103,000 on a previous payment so today's resolution autho- rizes borrowing up to $852,000. The hospital is optimistic that by June 28 they could have adjustments and reimbursements of third -party carriers of up to $586,000. If so, then we would have to go into long-term borrowing for $266,000. Mr. Williamson, County Attorney, said they made motions to dismiss two real property tax cases—the CVS building and the billiard place on the Elmira Road. We have appealed the ruling on the referee on the paid moving expense policy which sided against us two weeks ago, another hearing involving taking or using the break time in the day to make up the full work week. We just had a hearing on that last week and have not had a decision. Mr. Stevenson, Hospital Construction, said they have change orders on the agenda. The bills for audit today are work completed to date including the ten per cent retainer for all accounts. Mr. Murphy said traditionally we audit amount due which is usually 90 per cent—they bill at a gross figure and they take a retainer of 10 per cent. Now the state wants us to book 100 per cent and book the retainer in a separate account. Chairman MacNeil reported he attended the largest graduation in the history of Tompkins -Cortland Community College. The graduating class represented a broad walk of life. He also said he had attended a combinant DNA meeting at Cornell University. Cornell is involved in experiments in levels of P1 and P2 and levels can go as high as P5. There is some provision being made at Cornell for a building to house P3 levels. Mr. Culligan said that the salary committee appointed forty-six days ago in- tends to have a report in two weeks although it probably will not be the final report. It was Moved by Mrs. Livesay that Resolution No. 267 of 1976 on the County Youth Bureau be lifted from the table. Mr. Ray asked to quote Rule 8 of the Rules of the Board and asked that Mrs. Livesay's request not be honored as he had not been given one day's notice and therefore needed unanimous consent to bring the resolution to the floor. Mrs. Livesay felt it was not tabled indefinitely but they were waiting for the state to clarify their guidelines which has been done, and the recommendation of the County Planning Board which was at their last meeting, and this is the first meeting following those items.

Discussion took place. Mr. Ray, for the record, said philosophically he is against the type of bureau- cratic demands and mandates like this. He believes this is a bad piece of state legislation and the only reason he is proposing amendments is that if it is passed, 108 June 24, 1977 it may become more palatable and acceptable to the rural areas. It was Moved by Mr. Ray, seconded by Mr. Dates, to delete the first Resolved and replace it with the following: "RESOLVED, That the Tompkins County Youth Bureau be established on the approval of the State Division for Youth in accord- ance with the complete plan aforementioned, and RESOLVED, further, That the County Youth Bureau Advisory Board be cre- ated in the number of 21 persons which represent the following municipalities indicated below and these persons shall also serve as members of the comprehen- sive planning committee.

Members and guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance. The minutes of June 13 and the adjourned meeting of June 24 were approved as presented. The Clerk read a letter from Lucia Armstrong, president of the Ithaca High School P.T.A., requesting the Board to form a county youth bureau and also read a letter from Almon Stevens, mayor of the Village of Dryden, suggesting the Board not submit to New York Executive Law 19A to establish a comprehensive youth bureau listing reasons which included funding and possible frustration of bureaucracy. • Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Anthony Schultz said he felt the provisions for the composition of the youth board is legally defective as it does not represent the strides in the definiticn section of the Division Rules and Regulations, and he wished an explanation of the funding system as it seems to show a three layer kind of funding proposition. Mr. Miller, Social Services Committee, said they_ have resolutions for later in this meeting and wanted to report that the Alcoholism Steering Committee has been meeting almost weekly and are moving in a strong direction. 110 June 30, 1977 Mr. Culligan, Chairman of the Health Committee, said they met last week and turned down a request for a third radiologist at this time. They will have resolutions concerning a full-time supervising social worker at Meadow House, Youthful Drug Abuse (YDA) program, and Office for the Aging. They approved in concept only the action of the Mental Health Board for interim coverage of their programs for directorship—not to be confused with interim coverage of service for evenings and weekends. Selection of a director is now down to three applicants. Mr. Clynes reported the Board of Managers has passed a motion on the con- cept of self -governance, and he asked the chairman to direct the county attorney's office to meet with the Board of Managers' Committee and the Health Committee to draw up guidelines to bring to this Board for more than the conceptual resolu- tion that is now on the books. Mr. Culligan reported that the Special Committee on Salary Study has held three meetings, and after receiving preliminary information from various sources the committee recommends that plans and specifications be drawn up as soon as possible for a study of the compensation program in Tompkins County. The study would be designed to determine if any salary inequities exist. If it is the desire of the Chairman of the Board and the Board of Representatives, this committee will remain active and draw up plans and specifications. Chairman MacNeil accepted the report and said he would take the recommen- dations under advisement. Mr. Clynes, chairman of the Planning and Public Works Committee, reported that the Tompkins County Route 13 Task Force had met and hopefully will meet with Cortland County soon for a recommendation on a compromise plan. The com- mittee has a resolution regarding the realignment of Route 96 that they will ask to have on this agenda. Mr. Holden, chairman of the Personnel Committee, said they endorse the IV -D resolution on the agenda. They had a request for supervising social worker and also interim administrator at Mental Health but are not supporting either of these requests as they hope to have a director of Mental Health on board very shortly. Mr. Watros, chairman of the Intergovernmental Relations Committee, re- ported that at the Board of Trustees meeting at Tompkins -Cortland Community College they were told that State Aid would be restored to the level of last year. There will be a copy of the handbook prepared for administrative purposes on file in the clerk's office. The committee is interested in making appointments to the Library Board of Trustees. Mrs. Livesay, chairman of the Special Legislative Committee, reported that they met with the Director of Assessment to see if there were any amendments to the property tax exemption for businesses that they should be supporting, and the committee will be taking this up in greater depth. Mr. Dates, chairman of the Budget and Administration Committee, reported that the Special Study Committee report that was returned to the Budget Com- mittee for comment fits in with the number one priority of the charter and code and they will bring a report to the board in early fall, probably in September, and a report on the Study Committee at that time. Mrs. Benson requested that the Board have copies of the Special Representa- tives Study Committee recommendations. Mr. Robey suggested and it was agreed to reproduce copies of the first sixteen pages and omit the appendix. County Attorney Williamson reported that they have two motions to dismiss two other tax cases involving properties in the City of Ithaca, the judge reserved decision. They had two July 7 relative to properties outside the City that we have motions to dismiss on. Mr. Hurlbut and County Attorney Williamson had a pre- June 30, 1977 111 liminary hearing on an unfair labor charge of our union concerning the salaries of the radiologists. It was Moved by Mr. Clynes and adopted to include the proposed realignment of Route 96 to the agenda. It was Moved by Mrs. Livesay to include on this agenda a resolution to ap- prove the report of the Ad Hoc Youth Committee. No action was taken on the motion when Assistant County Administrator Burr stated that in checking with the State Division of Youth they have accepted the study, that it was only the study of the youth population of the county and that the recommendations were not binding. It was Moved by Mrs. Livesay, seconded by Mr. Webster, and adopted to lift from the Table RESOLUTION NO. 267 OF 1976—ESTABLISHMENT OF THE TOMPKINS COUNTY YOUTH BUREAU AS AMENDED JUNE 24, 1977.

The revenue sharing funds will be discussed at budget time to be effective in 1978. He said general procedure is to file the revenue sharing application with the County Administrator's Office then to the County Attorney's Office for eligibility through the Budget and Administration Committee and to the Human Services Coalition to see if it's in their favor. Mr. Murphy, County Administrator, reported that as a follow up to the Coun- ty's review of insurance coverage in Tompkins County, that they are engaging the firm of General Appraisal Company to do a review of all contents and equipment of all County Departments which also ties in with new instructions which the Department of Audit and Control has issued, which says that the County should now account for fixed assets, prior to that ruling fixed assets were purchased and paid for in the same year and would not carry on the balance sheet as fixed assets. Mr. Williamson, County Attorney, reported that there are four cases in the courts on tax, the judge reserved decision on two and Judge Bryant dismissed two last week, both on apartment complexes in the Village of Lansing. Mr. Williamson clarified the position of the County on the moving expense policy. He said the decision of the referee is not a decision, it is a recommended decision. The referee's decision, which is only a recommendation of final order, says moving expense is a negotiable item. It would have become final in fifteen days from the date of his July 11, 1977 123 recommendation except we filed exceptions to the ruling then it is not final until after the PERB Board makes a final order which can be appealed to the courts. Mr. Robey said regarding moving expenses, that there are sources other than county funds. Mr. Stevenson, Hospital Construction Committee, said the construction com- mittee met and decided on the change order resolution on the agenda to postpone the E. W. Tompkins bill for $34,000, it reflects on changes, extra work and re -esti- mating. Mr. Stevenson has asked that the architects and engineers be here at the next Board meeting to explain some changes. Chairman MacNeil explained the two CETA committees. One was established to make a list of priority projects in the community. The committee has done this and their recommendations were passed along and approved, but at that time, four or five applicants were seeking tax exempt status to become a not-for-profit agency to receive CETA funds. These applicants have not received tax exempt status yet and that is the reason this CETA Committee has not been dismissed. The other CETA Committee is an advisory board to the Personnel Commissioner and will be on going. The committee will represent certain agencies within our community that have to deal with unemployment. Chairman MacNeil also said he had written letters to the City and various municipalities asking for their recommendations for people to serve on the Youth Board no later than September 1. Chairman MacNeil requested Mr. Holden, Mr. Burr, Mrs. Livesay and Mr. Watros, along with the Personnel Committee to have on the agenda for the August 8th meeting a job description and classification of the Youth Bureau Director. He requested Mr. Dates to work with the Personnel Committee to work out the funding. At this time, Chairman MacNeil appointed Mr. Watros as the Board of Representatives appointment to the Youth Board. Mr. Dates reported that the public information meeting that was sponsored by the Southern Tier East Regional Planning Board regarding railroads, was post- poned from July 7 to August 4 at 10:00 a.m. in Binghamton.

She said there was a presentation on the New York State unemployment insurance and risk management of liability insurance. Also there was a presentation from the National Association of Counties on health systems agencies warning local governments that the whole program was designed to minimize the input of local government. There was also a presentation from the Assessment Bureau on a new tax status calendar that the Assessment Bureau is working on that would give everybody the same taxable status date and would revise the whole assessment and taxing calendar, which would include school taxes along with county and town taxes. The taxes would all be collected at once in two different installments. Mr. Culligan, adding to Mrs. Livesay's report, said he was very interested in the presentation on risk management. They were advised by that group that coun- ties should stay away from insurance advisory boards and that counties should hire an insurance administrator or insurance evaluator which this county has done.

Under privilege of the floor, Mrs. Dooley Kieffer spoke representing the Tompkins County League of Women Voters. She said although they don't oppose the proposed resolution they feel it would be useful to put it off for as long as it takes to get input from the local agencies. Mr. Miller, Chairman of Social Services Committee, said the committee listened to Mr. Donald Lifton, Associate Director of United Way. He introduced Mr. Lifton who presented the United Way's three-year fund raising plan and this year they will conduct a survey on this year's pledge cards to try to find out what contributors think they should be doing. Mr. Miller said the Human Services Co- alition has worked closely with Mr. Lifton. Mr. Miller said he received a letter from Mrs. Florence Riccutti, Alcoholism Coordinator, requesting funds from United Way. He said he feels the Human Services Coalition is doing its job and they are going to be seeing some results. Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Frank Satterly, Mayor of the Town of Groton, spoke regarding toll free telephone calls from the Town of Groton to Ithaca, the county seat.

Mr. Webster asked to reserve the right for someone to speak later in the meeting regarding OAR. Mr. Steve Burbank, Tompkins County Ecology Action, said they feel strongly that the proposed SEQR resolution includes threshold levels that are too high. They hope the board will take time to reexamine these. At this time Mr. MacNeil introduced Mrs. Sheila Ferrari who will be working in the County Administrator's office temporarily on the County Charter and Code. RESOLUTION NO. 181—ADOPTION OF OPERATING BUDGET— TOMPKINS-CORTLAND COMMUNITY COLLEGE Moved by Mr. Watros, seconded by Mr. Dates.

Permission was given to add a resolution pertaining to the District Attorney position to the agenda. RESOLUTION NO. 183—SALARY—DISTRICT ATTORNEY Moved by Mr. Clynes, seconded by Mr. Miller. Discussion took place. Resolu- tion adopted with Representative Dates voting no because he feels it should be considered at budget time. RESOLVED, That the Office of the District Attorney, term commencing Janu- ary 1, 1978 shall be increased $4,778.00 to a total of $34,778.00. Various committee chairmen reported as follows: Mr. Miller, Chairman, Social Services Committee, said they met and discussed a report from Don Lifton which the board heard this morning. The Human Serv- ices Coalition is meeting regularly. The Alcoholism Steering Committee has met regularly and has done a good job. He said there will be a meeting next week re- garding the state closing the group home. On July 19th he attended a Resource Conservation and Development Board meeting in Norwich with Mr. Calhoun of the Tompkins County Soil Conservation District Office. He feels the county has not participated as much as they should but believes from now onthey will. The next meeting will be held here in Tompkins County in September. Mr. Theisen reported that the Human Rights Commission has to seek new quarters, because the building in which they have offices was sold. Mr. Culligan, Chairman, Health Committee, said their next meeting will be August 8, 1977 133 held August 23. They have met several times with the Special Governance Com- mittee. They met briefly with the Salvation Army on the program for sobering up stations. They came in with a program but there was an error in what they thought was required so they will be coming back with another program. He also reported the new director of Mental Health will begin August 22. Chairman MacNeil expressed appreciation to Ms. Florence Riccutti for the excellent report and urged everyone to read it. Mr. Clynes, Chairman, Planning and Public Works Committee, said they took bids on the Crash, Fire, Rescue Building and while they are competitive, they are 16% over the budget. They are going to wait until August 24th to see how they make out with the bids on the runway overlay and September 1 for bids on the terminal building renovations. There was another meeting and it was agreed to go to an outside covered passageway for access to the restaurant. Regarding the State Environmental Quality Review Act Legislation (SEQR), he said there was certainly enough time for any input from any interested parties. He thinks the board should get this resolution on the books and still give a year's time to decide more specifically on local matters. Chairman MacNeil commented regarding SEQR, that they are just voting on Group I items not Group II. Group II items are the smaller, more refined items of our particular locality. Group I items are items such as airports, hospitals, high- ways, large parking lots, sanitary landfills, etc. Mr. Holden, Chairman, Personnel Committee, reported they met August 1. Regarding CETA senior stenographer position at the Planning and Environmental Management Council Office, the committee unanimously voted it down and felt it should be turned over to the Legislative Committee. They discussed the credit union and they wanted more information and will discuss it again at their next meeting. They received a letter from CSEA and they would discuss dropping their grievance proceedings for the radiologist salary increase if they would discuss the redefinition of the bargaining unit. They would also like to discuss that any- body that belongs to the union pays dues and if this law is passed anyone that didn't belong they could bargain this so they would have to pay dues whether they belonged or not. The Personnel Committee, County Attorney and staff met and were unanimous at this time to turn this down at the present time. CETA posi- tions are listed and will be filed with the clerk. The CETA Advisory Committee met and are reviewing CETA applications under the stimulus funds on the 17th and 18th. Mrs. Livesay, Chairman, Special Legislative Committee, noted they will meet tomorrow at 4 p.m. They have a resolution on the agenda to create a permanent secretarial position in the Planning and Environmental Management Council Of- fice. They met Friday with the Chamber of Commerce in a combined meeting of their two legislative committees with our state legislators and representatives of Congress. The topic was the problems of business in New York State and locally how they could think of giving incentives. The committee received twocommuni- cations from the Environmental Management Council. One was to request the county to update the Reimann-Buechner Report especially the financial and statis- tical sections. The committee would like to ask the chairman to direct the Planning Commissioner to investigate how this report can best be updated and see that it is done. She felt information on the taxing picture would also be useful to the Legis- lative Committee and this board in dealing with property tax exemption issue. The other communication has to do with SEQR legislation. They would favor postpon- ing action until they can collect suggestions from not only environmental people but from concerned county agencies particularly the Health Department and Highway. The Legislative Committee would like to support the EMC that more input be sought. The committee discussed things that did not specifically come before them but things they are concerned about. They presented one regarding "Special Legislative Committee Statement on Accurate Representation of County Policy". The other Statement Mr. Theisen read regarding County Charter budget 134 August 8, 1977 procedures, alleged substantial differences from current practice and urged the procedures be conformed to the Charter. Mr. Theisen said the committee felt these matters important enough to dis- cuss and there should be board action. Chairman MacNeil asked the Planning Committee to look into the matter of updating the report of Reimann-Buechner regarding the proposed NYSEG Cayuga Station Generating Plant. Chairman MacNeil explained to Mr. Theisen that in requesting permission of the Board to dispense with action by the Charter Executive Committee when he became chairman that it gave equal opportunity to each board member and ful- filled the spirit of the charter. Mr. Dates said he felt the Budget and Administration Committee should have been given more notice. The Charter was effective in 1970 and the Charter and Code is being separated and updated. Mr. Dates, Chairman, Budget and Administration Committee, on behalf of their committee and the Board, wished the best to Mr. William Burr, Assistant County Administrator, as he leaves county employment for another position. Mr, William Burr reported the Charter has been broken into two draft docu- ments—Charter and Code. They have met many times and perhaps in one or two more meetings the committee will be through all the documentation. The next step —distribution of the charter draft sent to the appropriate departments for their input. Following department input, he sees the Budget and Administration com- mittee meeting again to put final touches on the draft of both documents prior to recommendation to the full board sometime this fall. He said Mrs. Sheila Ferrari's primary purpose is going to be finishing up this project in separating Charter and Code but also a continuation of the project on the development of the county ad- ministrative manual. Chairman MacNeil asked Mrs. Livesay for a pragmatic documentation to the last paragraph of the Legislative Committee's statement concerning accurate rep- resentation of county policy. Mr. Haight, Chairman, Public Safety and Correction Committee, reported they met August 2nd and one of the items discussed was the District Attorney's salary and a copier for the District Attorney's office. They also discussed payment of membership dues by the county for the District Attorney's office and is being ex- amined further for legality; discussed increase in Sheriff's salary. They discussed putting stenographers to the court on salary instead of 750 per page and will be reviewed by the County Attorney's office. They have a resolution on the agenda to fill the jail physician position. Mr. Dates said he attended a meeting in Binghamton called by the Depart- ment of State on Appalachia railroad abandonment. He stated the TC3 budget forms were complicated. Chairman MacNeil said he feels the board needs a better understanding on a monthly basis on the relationship with trustees of the college so they can better understand exactly on what they are voting. Mr. John Murphy, County Administrator, said copies of budget forms have been distributed to all department heads. He said the fiscal manager, Walter Chay- kosky, has been hired and will report to work August 15. Robert Williamson, County Attorney, said they have not received a decision on moving expenses case before PERB. They are filing a memorandum on the un- fair labor charge for the radiologist. There is a pending motion to reargue assess- ment taxing procedures. August 8, 1977 135 Mr. Dates said there will be a resolution on tax assessment on the next agenda. Mr. Ray said at the appropriate time he would like action to set a public hearing to raise senior citizens' income from $6500 to $7200 for exemption from paying county taxes. Mr. Howard Stevenson, Hospital Construction Committee, said the John W. Cowper Company, Inc. report is on file and there is a resolution on the agenda for change orders. Mr. Eggleston is here to explain the change orders. Permission was given for the following resolutions to be added to the agenda: Transfer of funds—Social Services Department; Approval of public hearing re tax exemption for the elderly; Audit of Construction Costs—TC3; Urging New York Telephone Company to provide toll free calling between the county seat and the Town of Groton.

Mr. Blomgren, a member of the Criminal Justice Advisory Board and the Jail Programs Advisory Commit- tee, expressed his concern about this funding. He feels it is an excellent program but said the Jail Programs Advisory Committee would like to see the program in operation for a longer period of time before the funding. Mr. Webster recognized the Jail Programs Advisory Committee volunteer group and the work they have done. He explained the process of the application for funding for Offender Aid and Restoration (OAR). Further discussion took place and Ms. Edith Kristeller and Ms. Nancie Zane spoke about the OAR program. It was Moved by Mr. Culligan, seconded by Mr. Miller, That this resolution be tabled.

Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Culligan said that he is discouraged about the placement of the entrance of paid parking at the airport and also the ticket machine is placed on a curve and difficult to reach. Under privilege of the floor, Mrs. Livesay requested, along the lines suggested by Chairman MacNeil last meeting, that a special committee to look at the dis- trict attorney situation, be referred to the Criminal Justice Advisory Board to make a study of whether the district attorney position should be part time or full time and to make a recommendation back to this board and also to get into the staffing of the office. She also asked that the CETA Advisory Committee be re- quested to look at which CETA positions need to be full time positions and some kind of system be developed of moving CETA positions that are identified as county positions into permanent county positions. Various committee chairmen reported as follows: Mr. Miller, Chairman, Social Services Committee, said they have a resolution to present regarding the County Home. They are setting up a meeting with the Public Safety Committee September 27 to implement the IVD situation. He invited everyone to a meeting of the Resource Conservation and Development Board, Sep- tember 20, 1977 at TC3. It is the first time the group has met here in Tompkins County. They will be looking at some of the work done in conservation work around the TC3 campus. Mr. Culligan, Chairman, Health Committee, reported they have two resolu- tions today but he will be asking for the withdrawal of one pertaining to the Office for the Aging which Susan Clarke, Director, will explain later. He said they met again with the Salvation Army and they are still contemplating building a new structure to house a temporary and emergency housing program. One of them being a sobering -up station and taking care of people who can't take care of themselves. There will be a meeting Wednesday at the Salvation Army to talk about the program. They are looking for city and county aid for an important program which has not been a government program. He said the Committee will meet September 13 with the Hospital Governance Committee. He reported there has been a complaint brought to their attention regarding the medical examiner's office and the fact perhaps the duties of the office are not being legally and fully met. They listened to Mr. Miller's complaint. The committee decided to have the County Attorney, County Administrator, and Personnel Commissioner to meet with himself and Mr. Dates, Chairman of the Budget and Administration Com- mittee. They have asked the County Attorney to fully look into this and give to the committee in writing on September 22 at 7:30 p.m. They will take the advice of the County Attorney and if he feels the position is not being fully met they will take procedures to correct. He publicly had asked if anyone had any criticism of 152 September 12, 1977 the Department of Medical Examiner to contact him but has received none at this point. Mr. Robey, Mental Health, reported the Mental Health Board met Tuesday evening which the new director Anthony DeLuca attended. He hopes the Board will go back to meeting once a month instead of twice a month. He said a big event in Mental Health is the successful merger of the two alcoholism agencies. The boards agreed to combine and selected Florence Ricciutti, Alcoholism Coordi- nator, as the Executive Director of the agency. This will require some direct county funding. The Mental Health Board endorsed the merger. The Human Serv- ices Coalition received it and endorsed it. Mr. DeLuca is moving ahead on some of the staffing vacancies in the department. They also received a revenue sharing request for transportation at Meadow House. Mr. Ray said he feels the committee chairmen, as far ahead as possible, should notify the clerk's office relative to the scheduled meeting dates. Chairman MacNeil said he feels Mrs. Ricciutti is a very efficient, welcome person to head the Alcoholism committee. Mr. Miller said there have been many fine people in Tompkins County who for the last three years have been trying to put this program together but it looked like it was a failing situation and finally with Mrs. Ricciutti's help the program has jelled and he thanked all the people in the county who worked on it. Mr. Clynes, Chairman, Planning and Public Works, said the consultants did meet with federal officials on the airport projects. They are hopeful by the next meeting they will be prepared to accept grant offers for four projects and ap- proval of federal funding of night time paving so the airport is not shut down during that project. Mr. Holden, Chairman, Personnel Committee, said they met regarding abolish- ing, changing and reclassifying positions. Regarding the Multi -county Solid Waste meeting in Cortland August 12th, they are working under their budget of the four counties that did fund it for $24,600—should be in by May 1, 1978. Broome County didn't fund it but are making a study of their own and will make it available to the Ways Committee. Chemung County is investigating. He also said the Anti -re- cession committee will meet Wednesday to go over positions, studies and points, and will try to finalize to the monies available. Regarding Multi -county Solid Waste, at the present time NYSE&G is the only one interested but won't do much more until they get cost figures. Mr. Watros, Chairman, Intergovernmental Relations Committee, met to dis- cuss various data they requested from TC3 relative to the budgeting process. They also discussed resolving capital funding. They expect Tuesday to start reviewing budget requests for 1978. Chairman MacNeil said the requested use of books at the Tompkins County Library is declining. He is hopeful the Intergovernmental Relations Committee will conte in with reports on why this is happening and what the direction the library may be taking in the future. Mr. Haight, Chairman, Public Safety and Correction Committee, said they met and reviewed budgets. He said suggested changes to budget procedures were placed on everyone's desks. Chairman MacNeil referred the proposed changes to the Budget and Administration Committee to review. Mr. Dates, Chairman, Budget and Administration Committee, thanked depart- ment heads for budgets and they will be starting their deliberations in October. The committee would like to know about other committees that are discussing budgets so they can listen to department heads document their budgets so they can cut down on some of the meetings. He said he is glad the committees are taking an interest in budget procedures. The Budget and Administration Committee is recommending the adoption of Local Law No. 2 1977 presented this morning. They September 12, 1977 153 are going to ask permission to add a resolution to the agenda regarding the ap- proval of use of fund -balance Human Services Coalition. Mr. Dates said he would like to establish a cut off date for federal revenue sharing applications of September 19. He said the committee discussed and felt all requests should go over the Human Services Coalition desk so they know what is going on. Mr. Murphy, County Administrator, said they had already requested all rev- enue sharing applications be in by September 1. However, it was never really established as a cut-off date and they have had requests for an extension date beyond September 1. They are going to establish a cut-off date by September 19. Mr. Doyle has set up a budget summarization sheet which presents more informa- tion than the committee would ordinarily have when reviewing. Mr. Dates said Mr. Michael Martin is setting up a meeting between the city revenue sharing committee and the county revenue sharing committee and if any- one is interested get in touch with Mr. Martin. Discussion regarding budget procedures took place. Mr. Williamson, County Attorney, reported the County has new lawsuits started by taxpayers against the County on assessment. One is Cayuga Mall and one is Mr. and Mrs. Sweet of Lansing. There is one by Pyramid, which was a Local Law passed concerning construction done after January 1, 1976, is requesting re- duction in their tax assessment on the basis they constructed capital improve- ments following January 1976. He said they were successful in two assessment cases in the city. The judge dismissed them. They had to reargue another case involving Lansing North. Mr. Miller said he has looked into the group home situation. The home that the state closed was not any fault of people running the home or people in the home. It was strictly a neighborhood problem. They are now looking for a new location. Mr. MacNeil said he gave Mr. Clynes a copy of the Environmental Manage- ment Council report on the study of Fall Creek and asked for a recommendation from the Planning and Public Works Committee on the feasibility of adopting a resolution at a later date. Chairman MacNeil said there are still many rceommendations for people to serve on the Youth Board to be received. There are approximately 25 applicants for the position of Youth Bureau Director. He asked the committee—Mr. Culligan, Don Wilson of the Probation Department, Mr. Cutia of the Youth Bureau, as rep- resentatives of government and youth service agencies along with Mr. Shaw who is an early appointment from the Village of Groton, Mrs. Linton an early appoint- ment from Newfield, Mr. James Vorp from the Village of Trumansburg, to serve on the selection committee. He asked them to select three people equally qualified for the job so he could choose one of those to be the director. He asked Mr. Hurl- but for his staff support. Mr. Robey requested a brief update on the hospital construction. Chairman MacNeil said the hospital is more than forty per cent complete. It seems to be progressing more smoothly at this time than it has in the past. Mr. Culligan noted that we are going to see more of this unless the federal government cuts down the red tape factor that is involved in the federal programs. It was approved that a resolution pertaining to Authorization to Apply for Funds, Authorization to Execute Agreement, be withdrawn. Susan Clarke, Direc- tor of the Office for the Aging, explained that the problem is while they could make the 10% required local share from the organizations that actually employ older people, by counting the time that the supervised plan for the program, the 154 September 12, 1977 federal requirements, that how we document them on application forms would take a full 35 hour week. They are already overstaffed and overburdened; therefore, they would like to pass this program up and withdraw the resolution. Permission was given to withdraw resolutions regarding Budget Adjustment Tompkins County Library and Abolishing positions—County Clerk's Office and to add resolutions pertaining to Amended Grant Agreement, FAA Airport Project No. 8036-0047-03; Creation of Temporary Position—Anti-Recession Funds; and Approval of Use of Fund—Balance Human Services Coalition. It was Moved by Mr. Webster, seconded by Mrs. Livesay, That Resolution No. 185—Authorization for County to Act as Sponsor of Offender Aid and Restoration Grant Application to Southern Tier East Regional Planning Board be lifted from the table. Adopted. There was discussion regarding the resolution that was withdrawn regarding Authorization to Apply Funds—Authorization to Execute Agreement, and Mrs. Livesay moved that it be put back on the agenda and the county pick up the $2,000 funding. No second was received. RESOLUTION NO. 210—ADOPTION OF LOCAL LAW NO. 2-1977— AMENDMENTS TO LOCAL LAW NO. 2-1966 Moved by Mr. Dates, seconded by Mr. Miller. Adopted. WHEREAS, a public hearing has been held after notice required by law on Local Law No. 2-1977, relative to amendments to Local Law No. 2-1966, as amended by Local Law No. 1-1971 and Local Law No. 1-1975, increasing the income limitation to $7,200 for those 65 years of age or over and further amending said Local Law No. 2-1966, as amended to conform with recent legislation, and WHEREAS, at said public hearing held on September 12, 1977, at 9:45 o'clock in the morning thereof, no one appeared in opposition to said amendment, now therefore be it RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Administration Commit- tee, that said Local Law No. 2-1977 be and the same hereby is adopted. RESOLVED, further, That the Clerk of the Board publish a true copy of said local law in the official newspapers of the County for two successive weeks within ten days after this local law is adopted, and after said local law shall have been finally adopted, the Clerk shall file within five days one certified copy in the office of the County Clerk, one certified copy with the State Comptroller and four certi- fied copies with the Secretary of State. RESOLUTION NO. 185—AUTHORIZATION FOR COUNTY TO ACT AS SPONSOR OF OFFENDER AID AND RESTORATION GRANT APPLICATION TO SOUTHERN TIER EAST REGIONAL PLANNING BOARD (Was Tabled 8/8/77) Moved by Mr. Webster, seconded by Mr. Theisen. A lengthy discussion took place. Sheriff Robert Howard said he endorses the concept of the program. Mr. Ray was concerned about where future funding would come from and if there were any commitments from the groups for the stabilization of the program after the one-year grant is over. He also expressed his feeling that this type of program might make the jail too pleasant for inmates. Mr. Webster said there have been informal discussions of the Criminal Justice Advisory Board, Southern Tier East Regional Planning and Development Board, District Attorney from Broome Coun- ty, Sheriff of Chenango County, Judge of Delaware . County, Sheriff of Otsego County and Chief of Police of Cayuga Heights also approving the concept. Dis- tributed to the Board is a fact sheet prepared by OAR which summarizes their program. Mr. Dates said we have many assets in this community. One being vol- unteer help and over the years have had an outstanding group of volunteers aiding the Sheriff's Department in the jail. Therefore, he cannot support this due to the September 12, 1977 155 fact they have volunteer help. He approves it in concept and the whole board does in concept. Mr. Robey said this program does not lend itself to a government kind of program. It is a volunteer program. This Board is being asked to act as a sponsor in order to qualify for one -year's seed money. If the program is not successful at raising the local money then the program will fall. The sheriff said all programs they have at the jail now are volunteer pro- grams. The idea behind this application for funding is to have one person to be a paid director. This is one of the recommendations of National OAR, that each Chapter of the OAR program have one person who would be a paid director. A roll call vote was taken which resulted as follows: Ayes—Representatives Benson, Clynes, Culligan, Haight, Livesay, Miller, Robey, Theisen, Watros, Web- ster -10.

Chairman MacNeil reported relative to the Bond Issue and what the priorities of Tompkins County are. October 10, 1977 181 board voted to participate through Southern Tier East Regional Planning and Development Board along with other counties in the region. In the meantime, Southern Tier East has submitted an application through Economic Development Administration and will soon be certified for participation in the program. He said it would seem within the interest of the county that they consider whether or not they should have an Economic Development Council or an Economic Resource Council, etc. within the county that would keep track of the economy, look at strength and weaknesses of the economy, see if they could identify what the community consensus is in terms of economic development, make recommendation to this board and to others as to what should be done perhaps in terms of the economy in the future, particularly in terms of participation in the federal pro- gram. He said this has been discussed at county and other levels to get an idea of structure, role it would play, what membership would be, etc. There will be fur- ther discussion.

They had four cases and moved to dismiss all four—they were successful in three of them. The one involving R.B.F.C., LTD, the court ruled the service of papers on him were satisfactory. They are in the process of defending the Cayuga Mall case. He will request a resolution be added to the agenda so they can pay the consultants in the tax cases. He said they have had a hearing on the arbitration involving the radiologist and he requested an executive session to report to the board on that matter. Mr. Dates reported that last Thursday there was a four -county rail committee meeting at NYSE&G and there is another scheduled for October 19. The users are taking a more active interest in it and a suggestion was made at the meeting whether excess trackage will be sold, if maybe it should be held in a land bank for a year until all decisions have been made. There was discussion on the Bond Issue and Chairman MacNeil said at this particular time this will go to the voters but if anyone wants to take a stand, they can. He doesn't feel it is necessary for the board to take a position at this time. Mr. MacNeil reported he had lunch with the committee appointed to study the District Attorney's office and all aspects of it, and Mr. Joseph Joch was also present and went over in detail the conduct of his office, many requirements of his office and what he hopes to accomplish in serving the public. They discussed many aspects of his office in contrast to other offices in other areas. Chairman MacNeil also commented on a news report on hospital costs on which President Carter is indicating there should be a ceiling of 9% on increase of medical costs in the future. He also said the first organizational meeting of the Division of Youth will be held tonight. Mr. Desrochers will be there.

Mr. Stevenson, Commissioner of Public Works, said they will talk to APCOA, Inc. about the problem. Under privilege of the floor, Representative Miller spoke regarding the Creamery Road Bridge in the Town of Caroline which will be closed for repairs. He received a petition from residents asking that a by-pass be put in while the bridge is being repaired and potential danger by fire or other emergencies would be alleviated by accessibility of emergency vehicles. Representative Theisen commented he wanted to concur with Mrs. Benson's statement about the airport parking problem. Mr. Dates complimented Chairman MacNeil for calling a meeting regarding wet weather conditions so fast for the farmers in Tompkins County and the action taking place not only on the county level, but the state and federal level. Various committee chairmen reported as follows: Mr. Culligan, Chairman, Health Committee, said the committee met last Tues- day and met with the medical examiners and one of the medical examiner's attor- ney about that office. The medical examiner submitted his budget and he feels the job should be full time and that it be paid full time to be split between the two medical examiners. Dr. Safadi would also like to be picked up by the Police De- partment to go to the scene. He also wants more secretarial help to keep records. Mr. Culligan also reported the hospital came in with a $11,700,000 budget and believes they will break even and they will have to raise most expenditures ap- proximately 8%-9% in order to do so. They also requested a third radiologist. He also noted that this Board passed a resolution to investigate, through auditing firms, backlogs of third party payments. Mr. Robey commented the committee might want to consider asking the medi- cal examiner for a record of the number of deaths, those he feels merits his atten- tion, those that he doesn't go to that are brought to the hospital, those that Dr. Posso goes to and those Dr. Safadi attends. Mr. Robey reported the Mental Health Board met last week and there was considerable discussion of the state change in the mental health organization. He will try to keep this board informed. Mr. Culligan reported the Salvation Army has a person willing to donate a large amount of money for the building of a facility for an emergency temporary housing program but before they do they want to know in writing that the money to run the facility is available. It is a $35,000 program. They would like the county to invest $25,000 per year on a three-year contract. They have asked Mr. Deluca, Director of the Mental Health Department, to check out what reimbursement the county would get for the phase of a sobering up station factor. They are wait- ing for that information. They have a November 1 deadline. They have decided to ask for an extension of 15 days. Mr. Culligan also reported there are vacancies on the Mental Health Board. Mr. Clynes, Chairman, Planning and Public Works, said they have an invita- tion from Mayor Conley for a county representative to join the Route 96 subcom- mittee which would be an exofficio, non-voting member. Chairman MacNeil ap- pointed Mr. Frank Ligouri to fill that role. Mr. Holden, Chairman, Personnel Committee, reported the committee met October 18. They had a discussion regarding a credit union and approved the county's allowing a credit union be formed with payroll deduction and sent it on to the Budget and Administration Committee. The committee discussed the library 190 October 24, 1977 director's salary and agreed that the position should not be placed in Labor Grade XVIII. He said the CETA Advisory Committee met last Thursday. There will be resolutions later in this meeting. Mr. Watros, Chairman, Intergovernmental Relations Committee, reported the committee met to .consider budget requests. There was a meeting last week with the representatives of the city to discuss the feasibility of developing a uniform procedure for making revenue sharing requests. He felt the consensus of that meeting was that they would try to develop a schedule starting in July for sub- mission of any revenue sharing requests and they be submitted to both the city and the county at the same time. The same format would be used in the process of considering revenue sharing requests. There will probably be a resolution from the -Budget and Administration in the near future to establish those dates. He also reported on the Intergovernmental Relations Study Committee activities. They are currently looking at the advantages of a consumer protection agency in Tomp- kins County and the need for such an agency. Mr. Theisen called the board's attention to an article in the Ithaca Journal October 19th about discussions in Albany concerning the changing role of libraries and how they are changing in function. Chairman MacNeil said there was a recent news item reported that President Hushang Bahar, President of Tompkins -Cortland Community College, indicated a savings through efficient management of $259,000 for the sponsoring communities. Mrs. Livesay, Special Legislative Committee, said they will have resolutions on the agenda which they will discuss at the appropriate time. The committee dis- cussed the Bond Act and did nothing further on that. They would like to see that the Resource Conservation and Development Board project and the availability of monies are understood—monies that can be used for conservation measures and also economic development. Mrs. Livesay also reported they will be meeting tomorrow at 4:00 p.m. with representatives of the SPCA to discuss the budget and a contract. Their aim is to go in the direction of weekend and night coverage. The SPCA has applied for and as far as they know received the CETA grant to provide the staffing. They hope it will give them a transitional year to see how this service can be provided and how many other communities come along with their dog control ordinances. Mr. Theisen noted the Environmental Management Council had discussion at its last two meetings on what it can do in the energy crisis. A representative from the Cooperative Extension Service gave an outline of what they are doing. The Environmental Management Council felt it would perhaps supplement the Exten- sion program and cooperate with them as much as possible. The Environmental Management Council is anxious to see the Lehigh Valley Railroad right-of-way transaction go through and is willing to lend its assistance. Mr. Haight, Chairman, Public Safety and Correction Committee, reported the committee completed budgets with the exception of one. They received communi- cations from Family Court on the need for more space. They discussed bids on the Sheriff's car. Their next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday. Mr. Dates, Chairman, Budget and Administration Committee, thanked the committees for their work on the budgets. The committee is about ready to begin deliberations. He commented on the outstanding job the deputy county administra- tor and staff, with the guidance of John Murphy, are doing investing 13.2 million dollars. It was a long and tedious job. Regarding the Lehigh Valley Railroad, Mr. Dates said a lot of businesses in Cortland, Moravia, Locke, Groton, Freeville and Dryden would like to see the tracks filled with coal, corn, wheat, etc. The four -county rail committee met last week with members from the State Department of Transportation and it is pos- sible to hold that line for a while for future negotiations by the users before they make a decision. October 24, 1977 191 Mrs. Livesay commented that earlier this year the board was sent a report prepared for department heads on appropriations. She said she doesn't find it particularly helpful because it didn't contain enough information but appreciated the effort. Mr. Robert Williamson, County Attorney, reported they have not received a decision on the radiologist case yet. They received a favorable decision on one human rights case. They have three assessment cases pending. Mr. Howard Stevenson, Hospital Construction Committee, reported at the last meeting George Eggleston of Cowper Company wasn't happy with Madison Electric's reply on the proposal request. Last week Mr. Eggleston told him he had majority of the figures and will be working with change orders. Today the major items in these change orders are enclosing the administrative wing. Chairman MacNeil said he declared Tompkins County as an agriculture dis- aster area and with the help of the farm emergency group it was forwarded to J. Roger Barber, Commissioner of Agriculture and Markets, and Governor Hugh L. Carey for their approval and it has now gone to the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Robert Bergland for his approval and he will be in town. October 26th: Farmers who wish to be approved may receive three per cent loans for their inconvenience due to wet weather. Chairman MacNeil also reported the hospital is approximately 56% complete. If everything goes well they may have occupancy in December 1978. He said the Tompkins County Youth Board is having its second meeting tonight. Regarding Title III YCCIP money, Chairman MacNeil said Tompkins County is a program agent county because it has less than 100,000 people. There are 32 counties in New York State that have less than 100,000 people: These counties were allocated $859,000. There are approximately seven requests for this money for hiring of youths 16-19. Four projects were approved and submitted to the state for their review. Friday the Personnel Commissioner will be in Albany and will be informed as to what the allocation might be. There is going to be another Title III Youth Employment Training Program. This would be allocated in the same man- ner but a greater amount of money. Permission was given to add a resolution to the agenda regarding transfer of funds for the Mental Health Department. A brief recess was held. RESOLUTION NO. 258—REQUEST CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION OF AVAILABILITY OF CELLULOSE INSULATION Moved by Mrs. Livesay, seconded by Mr. Clynes. Mr. George Lefave, Coordi- nator of the EOC Weatherization programs funded through the federal govern- ment, explained the program and the difficulty this year of trying to get cellulose insulation for their program. Discussion followed. There was concern about the wording of the third whereas which read as follows: "Whereas, rumors are ram- pant regarding the manipulation of the availability of this product for the finan- cial gain of a few." It was Moved by Mr. Robey, seconded by Mrs. Benson, That the third whereas be deleted. Motion adopted with Representative Culligan voting no. Further discussion took place and It was Moved by Mrs. Livesay, seconded by Mr. Clynes, That a substitute resolution be adopted. The substitute resolution was adopted.

Chairman MacNeil said several years ago there was a transportation com- mittee study of transportation in Tompkins County but nothing was done at that time. Recently the state is interested in transportation in various forms. Tompkins County has been selected to sudy consolidation of transportation. Mr. Culligan, Chairman, Health Committee, said they are meeting tomorrow evening at 7:30 p.m. and will be discussing after hours coverage for the Mental Health Department. Mr. Clynes, Chairman, Planning and Public Works Committee, reported re- garding Boardman House. Their intention on the new roof is not until next year. There is a question for whether that really would complete the exterior. It was referred to the County Attorney for a ruling. The resolution regarding the matter of the Lehigh Valley Railroad right-of-way from Freeville to Cortland, is not on the agenda this morning. What they have in mind is an invitation to the property owners to attend the committee in person or by letter. Mr. Holden, Chairman, Personnel Committee, said the CETA Advisory Com- mittee did a lot of work on the anti -recession funds and there will not be any special youth funds coming to Tompkins County. Mrs. Livesay said the Legislative Committee will meet at 4:00 p.m. tomorrow. At their last meeting they reviewed the SPCA budget and revenue sharing and would like to request a meeting this week with the Budget and Administration Committee. Mr. Haight, Chairman, Public Safety Committee, reported that processing of pistol permits was changed from Judge Bruce Dean's office to Judge Betty Fried- lander's office. Mr. Webster reported there are two vacancies on the Criminal Justice Ad- visory Board. Mr. Dates, Chairman, Budget and Administration Committee, said his report will be in the form of resolutions later in the meeting. He said they are taking telephone calls until noon today from department heads and will be going over the requests. Mr. Stevenson, Hospital Construction Committee, mentioned that the delivery of windows for the new hospital has been delayed. RESOLUTION NO. 271—UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE TAX CASE Moved by Mr. Holden, seconded by Mr. Miller. County Attorney Williamson discussed the resolution. Questions followed concerning the refunding of the county's $5,000 contribution if the suit is successful and also which school districts in the county to be included. A roll call vote was recessed until later in the meeting to get further information from the Commissioner of Personnel. After the intro- duction and seconding of Resolution No. 272, Mrs. Livesay raised a point of order and moved the chairman out of order, seconded by Mr. Robey, in reference to Board Rule VIII concerning the completion of a started roll call. She felt that everything else might be illegal. Mr. Culligan felt Mrs. Livesay's motion was out November 14, 1977 199 of order since Mr. Clynes already had a resolution on the floor. Chairman MacNeil requested an opinion of the County Attorney. Action continued on Resolution No. 272. Later in the meeting the County Attorney ruled that Mrs. Livesay's motion that the Chairman was out of order was offered too late—another resolution had been offered. He said action taken is not in jeopardy of being declared illegal be- cause no motion to overrule the chairman was made at the time. He said the board went on and conducted the business of the meeting and received proper motions, moving and seconding them and carrying them properly. He said the Personnel Commissioner's intent in recommending this to the Personnel Committee is to include all school districts in Tompkins County, that would include the Newfield, Groton and Ithaca School Districts that go over the boundaries. He also intended to include BOCES that goes over into Tioga County. If the lawsuit is successful in obtaining a temporary injunction, that would enable the county not to make payment to the federal unemployment insurance fund. If this law is declared unconstitutional insofar as it applies to municipalities and school districts, then from that point forward no payment would have to be made. He said he doesn't know the answer about repayment of funds made in advance. In letters written to municipalities and school districts it was requested they noti- fy us by December 9 if they do not wish to be listed. A roll call was taken which resulted as follows: Ayes — Representatives Haight, Holden, Miller, Ray, Culligan, Dates, MacNeil -7. Noes—Representatives Clynes, Livesay, Robey, Watros, Webster -5. Excused—Representatives Benson, Kidney, Theisen -3. RESOLUTION LOST. WHEREAS, the National Institute of Municipal Law Officers of Washington, D.C. is coordinating an effort by all municipalities and school districts, etc. in the United States to challenge the constitutionality of the Federal Unemployment Compensation Program insofar as it applies to municipalities and school districts, etc., and WHEREAS, an initial action will be attempted by the National Institute of Municipal Law Officers to obtain preliminary injunction to protect each named plaintiff from paying any unemployment taxes pending a final decision by the United States Supreme Court, and WHEREAS, the total contribution requested from Tompkins County is $5,000.00 which will include the naming of the County and all the municipalities in the County and school districts in the County as plaintiffs in said action, now therefore be it RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Personnel Committee, That the Chair- man of the Board be and he hereby is authorized to execute an agreement with the said National Institute of Municipal Officers for participation in the aforesaid litigation.

He said the Board of Managers did take action to delay the motion withdrawing as a contract hospital with Blue Cross. Mr. Murphy explained that Blue Cross rate is accepted in payment of the total amount of hospital charges. The problem is the amount of hospital charges that are incurred in most cases exceeds the Blue Cross allowance. The hospital has served notice on Blue Cross that their rate is insufficient. If the hospital does not accept Blue Cross rate, then the patient will have to make it up. He also explained the hospital still does nothave the 1977 Blue Cross rate and the due date for the 1978 date has already passed. They are still being reimbursed on the 1976 rate. Mr. Culligan reported the Health Committee will meet with the Hospital Governance Committee tomorrow at 4:00 p.m. Mr. Clynes, Chairman, Planning and Public Works Committee, said although the committee has not had a meeting they are working on two items.

Mr. Watros, Chairman, Intergovernmental Relations Committee, said the com- mittee met and discussed bids submitted for equipment for the library and re- viewed the data that sponsors are going to request from TC -3 relative to their on-going operations to better inform the sponsors of various budgeting aspects. That policy will go before the board. Mr. Theisen reported there are vacancies on the Library Board of Trustees. Mr. Webster said the Public Safety and Corrections Committee has not met but said the pistol permits process was moved to the County Clerk's office from the Surrogate Court office. Mr. Williamson, County Attorney, reported a decision was received from the Arbitrator on the radiologist case. It indicates the county did violate the contract in changing the grade and PERB's ruling is to continue to negotiate with the union on this matter. Mr. Stevenson, Chairman, Hospital Construction Committee, said the first shipment of windows arrived and are in good shape and will allow them to close in by early January. As an absent member of the Board at the November 17th Board meeting, Mrs. Benson moved to re -open the budget resolution, specifically the matter of the amendment of the Economic Opportunity Corporation Outreach Program.

County Attorney Williamson said they contacted the Association of Municipal Officers and ascertained there are sufficient ,monies already guarded to challenge the constitutionality. He also found out under the law New York would continue to pay and not be protected by the award of the temporary injunction so the money we might give would only go toward getting the permanent injunction. After hearing Mr. Williamson's report, Mrs. Livesay withdrew her motion with the consent of Mr. Holden.

Mr. Lou Nayman, President of CSEA, noted the after-hours coverage of the Mental Health Department expires tomorrow. He will be happy to answer ques- tions should the board take up this matter today. Mr. Dates referred to a news media editorial regarding some statements, particularly about TC3 tuition and the part where it said the state law says the county can never contribute less per student to the college than it has in years before. He feels that statement should be straightened out. Chairman MacNeil said he wrote a letter to Mr. Morse, Chairman of the TC3 Board of Trustees, asking for more information which he received but he plans to write another letter regarding this situation to correct these erroneous comments that have been in the press. Permission was given to add the following resolutions to the agenda: Authori- zation to Execute Youth Service Project Application; Authorization Distribution from Tompkins -Cortland Community College Joint Capital Account; Authorization to Execute Contract—Ithaca Youth Bureau; Budget Adjustment—Hospital Bonds; and to withdraw a resolution pertaining to the SPCA contract. Various committee chairmen reported as follows: Mr. Culligan, Chairman, Health Committee, said they will meet December 21 at 4 p.m. Mr. Robey reported that the Mental Health after-hours coverage program expires tomorrow. He requested an executive session to discuss this matter. Per- mission was given to hold an executive session at the conclusion of this meeting. Mr. Holden, Chairman, Personnel Committee, reported the committee reviewed Mr. Shaw's letter from TC3 regarding red tape on personnel positions. They dis- cussed the Mental Health and Social Services on-call situation but didn't take any action. They felt it should come before the board. He complimented the Personnel office for their work on the Title VI Ceta Program. He also reported the Jury Com- mission met this morning and reappointed Thomas Griffin as Jury Commissioner for a four-year term. He also said the Personnel Committee approved a change in the resolution on the agenda that the four social welfare examiners at the Social Services Department go to permanent positions to be reviewed again next Decem- ber by the Social Services and Personnel Committees. Mrs. Livesay requested a presentation for this board of the CETA program and how it is operating and what the figures mean. She requested this by the next meeting or early next year. Chairman MacNeil said the report will be made at the first regular meeting in January. Mr. Watros, Chairman, Intergovernmental Relations Committee, said he will be asking for an appointment to the Library Board of Trustees later in the meet- ing. Mrs. Livesay, Special Legislative Committee, said they met and have a reso- lution today on the deer depredation problem. They have under consideration a 272 December 12, 1977 resolution that came from Rockland County supporting a bill under consideration by the federal government to remove phantom income taxes from the utility rate structure. They have contacted NYSE&G and others in the community and it seems a fairly complicated problem. They hope by the end of the year or early next year to have a resolution of that. Mrs. Livesay also reported they had a proposal presented to them that they should consider an ombudsman office in Tompkins County. They discussed it and she said it may be appropriate to refer it to the Intergovernmental Relations Study Committee or the Human Services Coalition. Regarding the SPCA contract, she said she is having a time negotiating in light of the budget decision. She pointed out some of the problems. She said since •the CETA workers started No- vember 1 the seizure fees for November went up to $820 which is an increase over the $478 for the month before. Since these monies come into the County Treasury, if the county doesn't increase the budget at the county level, there is no way the municipalities can utilize the seizure fees that should be going for dog control. She asked for help so they can get a contract and begin to pay them around the first of the year. Mr. Robey felt there are questions that need answering and asked that the SPCA be invited in to clear up some of these questions so the board will know what they are voting on. He said the ombudsman office has been discussed for about three years in various forms. However, he hasn't seen any support to create an office. Mr. Theisen felt the proposal for the ombudsman should be referred to the Intergovernmental Relations Study Committee. Chairman MacNeil commented that the County Planning Board has an ad hoc committee—Economic Advisory Committee— which could encompass some of the things mentioned here today and incorporate a possible informational referral sys- tem that the county has discussed at various times. Mr. Dates spoke about the resolution that was referred back to the Budget and Administration Committee, regarding outreach. They met and are calling in outside people to meet with them. Mr. Murphy spoke about budget adjustments on hospital bonds. There was an error made. There will be a resolution today to adjust that error. Mr. Holden reported the Planning and Public Works Committee met Novem- ber 30th, and there is a possibility of getting funds through the 216 program. It has to be sponsored by municipalities. The Town of Caroline doesn't want to par- ticipate because of the wording. Mr. Howard Stevenson, Commissioner of Public Works and Mr. Calhoun from Soil Conservation Office, will look at the bridge and road there to see if there is a chance of getting some funds, and maybe the word- ing can be changed about responsibility. This will be brought back to the com- mittee. Mr. Holden also said the committee met with property owners adjacent to the Lehigh Valley Railroad. Mr. Ray said the property owners had no plan at present. They are going to get together and come back with a proposal and then a deter- mination as to whether this county would go ahead with the purchase of the Lehigh Valley Railroad right-of-way.

Mr. MacNeil placed on the table for consideration of appointment to the Criminal Justice Advisory Board, the names of Paul Tavelli and Vincent Giordano. Mr. Robey stated that now that the Library is more autonomous governance, he feels it is important that they all give thought to the people they want to appoint and suggest names for appointment. A recess was called at 12:28 p.m. and an executive session was held. The regular meeting was called back to order at 1:45 p.m. Permission was given to add a resolution to the agenda regarding on-call services of the Mental Health Department.

Chairman MacNeil wished Mr. Holden, Mr. Kidney and Mr. Haight the best of luck in future endeavors. Mr. Kidney introduced his replacement from the Town of Dryden, Mr. Ken- neth Tillapaugh. Mr. Haight introduced his replacement from the Town of Ulysses, Mr. James Mason. Various committee chairmen reported as follows: Mr. Miller, Chairman, Social Services Committee, said they met December 20. He said the support unit has moved to the Social Services Department. Commis- sioner Wagner reported they anticipate the budget surplus of $250,000 for the year 1977 and hopefully the same can be done for 1978. The Board has been in- vited to the County Home January 23 to see the improvements done there. Mr. Culligan, Chairman, Health Committee, said the hospital requested an- other technician in the radiology department to deal with ultra -sound, and the committee approved. The committee turned down the request for three other tech- nicians in the radiology department because they feel they need more information. The committee also approved a third radiologist at the hospital at Labor Grade 23 with the possibility that it would go to the Personnel Committee. He said he will withdraw a resolution regarding this later in the meeting. Mr. Culligan also reported they are going to request a local law to increase the Office for the Aging Advisory Committee from nine to fifteen members. The Advisory Committee feels they need more members. There are resolutions on the agenda pertaining to contracts for the Office for Aging. Also, Dr. Gaffney is re- questing transfers in the home health area. He will be presenting names for con- sideration of appointment to the Board of Health and Board of Managers later in the meeting. They will be having appointments to the Mental Health Board and he asked for nominees. Mr. Robey reported the Mental Health Board met and there were several areas of discussion—Salvation Army emergency housing proposal, after hours emergency coverage, and Mental Health Board response to the proposed charter changes. He thinks perhaps next year the Mental Health Board will be asking to expand their membership. Mr. Clynes said there doesn't seem to be any established trend as far as re- duction in receivables yet. The output in billing was approximately 20 per cent in excess of the average day's business at the hospital. He thinks that additional bill- ing bank that was put in on a six month basis is accomplishing something. Mr. Theisen questioned the status of the use of the old hospital. Mr. Clynes said nothing is final. Mr. Holden reported the CETA Advisory Committee met and went over about 19 new projects. Mr. Watros, Chairman, Intergovernmental Relations Committee, noted Mr. Hushang Bahar, President of Tompkins -Cortland Community College, Patrick Hamill and Ronald Space, Trustees, were here to discuss the 1978-1979 tuition and they would like a consensus of the board later in the meeting. Mrs. Livesay, Special Legislative Committee, reported they met and discussed the SPCA contract. There is a resolution on the agenda to approve the contract and representatives from SPCA are here to answer questions. They have under consideration a resolution supporting the phantom tax legislation in Washington. That legislation is probably dead and the committee will not be pursuing it any further. The committee decided to send a memo to the chairman of the Planning and Public Works Committee urging that committee to proceed with bringing to this board the purchase of the railroad right-of-way. The committee again dis- 282 December 29, 1977 cussed the ombudsman proposal and decided to bring it to attention of the Inter- governmental Relations Committee. Chairman MacNeil said he wrote a letter to Frank Monek saying they would be looking at a proposal by the county for abandoned Lehigh Valley Railroad property.. Mr. Haight reported they had a joint meeting with Social Services Committee regarding the change of the support bureau of the Probation Department to the Social Services Department. Mr. Miller said it was to operate the IV -D Program. There is still one full time employee here. Mr. Dates said they interviewed a very competent person to help them solve the outreach program study. However, she withdrew her name. They are going to bring alternatives back to this board from time to time. He thanked the Budget and Administration Committee for the number of meetings and deliberations. They will have the preliminary Charter and Code report and also the report for the outreach program early next year. Mr. Murphy said he met with Mr. Carpenter and Mr. Crawford from the Li- brary Board of Trustees, and Mr. Theisen to review the procedures going into effect January 1. As of January 1, the employees of the library will no longer be employees of Tompkins County. They will be employees of the Library. They will have their own tax identification number. There are some reports that must go through the county. There are certain other reports that go directly to the State or appropriate body. The entire cash procedures that is accounting for their regu- lar cash funds as well as payroll will cease to be our records January 1. The only item the county will have to identify with the library will be one item—the county contribution to the library in the future. They are going on the Tompkins County Trust Company payroll system. They will handle their own payroll records. The Budget and Finance Office will help them get started on reports they will have to file. There will be a resolution pertaining to the library at this meeting. Mr. Murphy reported the county carries liability and personal injury insur- ance. In 1977 the county was insured by the Insurance Company of North America through the Carey McKinney Group. He was notified by the Insurance Company they would be happy to continue to cover our liability but would in no way renew personal injury insurance. In 1977 the total policy cost was $80,000 of which $6,800 was for personal injury. The cost would increase in 1978 to $92,000 without the personal injury. He contacted several other insurance companies and was able to get an offer to cover us through Continental. That coverage would cost $107,420 of which $14,000 was for personal injury. The committee has decided to go with the Continental offer. The County Attorney and insurance agent recom- mend it is important to continue that portion of the insurance. Mr. Williamson, County Attorney, stated that part of the increase is due to the tremendous amount of suits we have—most brought by Mrs. Betty Muka. He recommended the county continue to carry the personal injury insurance. Mrs. Benson stated if so many of these cases can be identified, they ought to be able to investigate the source and hope they can investigate legal recourse. Mr. Williamson said he will take that under consideration. Mr. Murphy reported relative to county -owned property located in the city. The city may foreclose. The county must foreclose. If the city decides on a prop- erty where they have unpaid taxes and they want to foreclose they can. In certain cases they do not foreclose. They wait until the county does, then file a lien with the county. They have a property at 325 Center Street which the county foreclosed on and is vacant at the current time. It is a great concern because it falls into the same category as the property at 213 South Plain Street where both city and county turned over ownership of that property to the Ithaca Housing Authority for rehabilitation. This particular parcel is a great concern because it is vacant. The insurance carrier tells them he is endeavoring to get coverage and he has put December 29, 1977 283 a binder on it subject to approval, but he is concerned whether they can get cover- age on an unoccupied building. The Budget and Administration Committee is rec- ommending they pursue this property as they did South Plain Street to see if it would fall into the rehabilitation category of the Ithaca Housing Authority and if the city and county are both willing to transfer that parcel. He will come back to the board with a further report. Mr. Stevenson, Hospital Construction Committee, said the committee met with the Board of Managers regarding telephones and will have an answer by the end of January. The windows are being put in. Chairman MacNeil reported that he looked into off-track betting. Originally the state took up off-track betting and divided the state into eight categories which were supposed to form corporations. The central New York area did not form a corporation. There were six formed within the state. We were excluded from any corporations. One that was formed was called Catskill Corporation. The corporation has the privilege of inviting our community to be part of it if the Assembly in the State organization would pass enabling legislation to allow us to join. Last year the Senate passed this legislation but the Assembly did not. As- semblyman Lee would like direction on how he should proceed to vote on this and whether we would like to be in or not. If we go into this corporation, or if this board decides they would like to entertain the possibility of going into it, a mem- ber of this board would be appointed to the Catskill Corporation which meets six times per year. It would select a site here and would require 1500 sq. feet and be operated much like a bank with two managers and 8-12 part-time clerks and would be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. They want to run a clean operation and have standards. At the end of the year the corporation's total profit minus all expenses is divided in half. Half of this profit is distributed to the members of the corpora- tion on population. The other half is distributed to members of the corporation on the amount of money handled in that particular area. He feels this board can make a decision together as a committee -of -the -whole and he is inviting Donald Groth of Catskill OTB to our next board meeting. Mr. Clynes, Chairman, Planning and Public Works, said the committee con- curred with suggestion of the Environmental Management Council on informal paper salvaging in the courthouse. The details to be worked out with Mr. Donald McCray. He said the Energy Commission is sponsoring an Energy Seminar in February aimed at business and industry in the community. RESOLUTION NO. 333—REAFFIRMATION OF COMMITMENT TO CHANGE OF GOVERNANCE—HOSPITAL Moved by Mr. Clynes, seconded by Mr. Culligan. Mr. Herrell DeGraff, Presi- dent of the Hospital Board of Managers, introduced Mrs. Ruth DeWire who has done a tremendous volume of work on this issue. Mrs. DeWire described in detail the application for permission to operate a hospital and their proposal for the establishment of a voluntary not-for-profit hospital. A local law is being drafted. The Health Committee will get the Local Law as soon as it is prepared, hopefully by the end of January. Resolution adopted. WHEREAS, the Board of Representatives adopted Resolution No. 230 on November 24, 1975 accepting in concept the Report of the Ad Hoc Hospital Gov- ernance Committee which indicated that the Tompkins County Hospital might better become a voluntary, not-for-profit hospital, and WHEREAS, the Governance Committee of the Board of Managers of Tomp- kins County Hospital has developed a proposal for the establishment of a volun- tary, not-for-profit hospital, and WHEREAS, the Negotiations Committee, composed of the Health Committee of the Board of Representatives and members of the Governance Committee of the Tompkins County Hospital Board of Managers, has developed preliminary guidelines for a Governance proposal, now therefore be it RESOLVED, That the Board of Representatives hereby reaffirms its commit- ment to a furtherance of the change of governance by the following steps: 284 December 29, 1977 1. The Board of Representatives authorizes signers of the proposed Articles of Incorporation, consisting of the present Board of Managers, to prepare an ap- plication with the New York State Health Department to own and operate the hospital known as Tompkins County Hospital, and 2. The Board of Representatives authorized attorneys and other relevant par- ties representing the Hospital and the County to make applications to all neces- sary entities for approval to transfer the assets and liabilities of Tompkins County Hospital to a private, not-for-profit hospital corporation. RESOLUTION NO. 334—AUTHORIZATION TO EXECUTE AGREEMENT —S.P.C.A. Moved by Mrs. Livesay, seconded by Mr. Miller. A resolution was presented showing the budgeted amount of $92,658 to be raised as follows: $19,658—SPCA; $44,940—County; $29,744—City of Ithaca, for a total of $92,658. Discussion took place and a roll call resulted: Ayes—Representatives Benson, Kidney, Livesay, Robey, Theisen, Webster -6. Noes—Representatives Clynes, Culligan, Dates, Haight, Holden, Miller, Ray, Watros, MacNeil -9. Resolution Lost. Permission was given to waive the rules of the Board. Mr. Culligan introduced Resolution No. 334, seconded by Mr. Kidney, substituting the amounts of $40,904—County; $26,417—City; $17,901—SPCA. Total $85,222 and substitute the amount of $3,904 instead of $7,940.

Noes— Representatives Holden, Ray (still does not set a procedure for the county) -2. Adopted.

RESOLUTION NO. 335—REPORTS FOR SPONSORING COUNTIES FROM TOMPKINS-CORTLAND COMMUNITY COLLEGE Moved by Mr. Watros, seconded by Mr. Dates. A lengthy discussion followed. Mr. Watros said this is the result of many discussions with representatives of Cortland and Tompkins County as well as TC3 Trustees and staff and try to re- solve some of the concerns and problems at the time of approving their budget. They felt it was appropriate to have it in writing so all parties concerned fully understand their responsibility. Hushang Bahar, President, TC3, said this infor- mation is something that should be available and is in favor of it. Mr. Patrick Hamill, a member of the Board of Trustees, said the trustees agreed the Board should have this information. He favors passing this resolution. Mr. Ronald Space, a member of the Board of Trustees, said they unanimously seconded this resolu- tion in their November board meeting and support the formalizing of this type of information requested. Adopted. December 29, 1977 285 WHEREAS, there have been several meetings of the Chairmen of Boards of the sponsoring Counties, Chairman of the Tompkins County Intergovernmental Relations Committee and the Cortland County Education Committee and WHEREAS, there have been discussions relative to reports to be generated for the sponsoring Counties, and WHEREAS, the representatives of the Counties have met with the Chairman of the Tompkins -Cortland Community College Board of Trustees and members of the Tompkins -Cortland Community College administration regarding these re- quests. now therefore be it RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Intergovernmental Relations Com- mittee, That the following information will be furnished to Tompkins County: 1. A. A list of all reports TC3 produces (on-going basis) for New York State. B. A brief statement of purpose for each report and frequency. 2. Treasurer's Report A. New Column reflective of estimated expenditures and revenues 3. Current limits on (narrative of) A. Student tuition B. State Aid C. Sponsor's Share 4. Entire Operating and Capital Budget at least two (2) weeks prior to any review by committee of sponsoring boards. Tompkins -Cortland Community College financial administration must be available for complete review of proposed budgets during that two (2) week period and make available all supporting docu- ments, including a list of grant contracts currently in force or pending. 5. Quarterly update of grants status. 6. A. Legislative liaisons should be afforded an opportunity to consult with appropriate officials in their respective counties concerning parameters for nego- tiations prior to commencement of negotiations with C.S.E.A. Liaisons should be given additional opportunity to consult with the officials if it becomes necessary to exceed those parameters. B. The personnel and finance committees of the Board of Trustees shall consult with the Legislative liaisons from the respective counties prior to estab- lishing parameters for negotiations with professional staff. 7. List of each student enrolled from sponsor counties shall be identified sep- arately by Tompkins and Cortland Counties and is to be ready 45 days after the last day of registration for each term. 8. A summary schedule of FTE students charged to Tompkins, Cortland or other counties must be submitted within 45 days after the last day of registration for each term. A lengthy discussion took place regarding 1978-1979 TC3 tuition. Mr. Watros said the current level is $700 and the maximum of $750. At this point the Board of Trustees has not made any decision concerning this matter and he is sure input from both sponsors would have some impact on their decision. He said he person- ally favors $725. Hushang Bahar, President of Tompkins -Cortland Community College, noted the Board of Trustees must set the tuition and this board's input would be useful. Mr. Ronald Space stated he takes the position to maintain tuition at the present level. He feels they need to get as much participation as they can and keep their volume to cover overhead, to cover costs and have to keep costs as low as possible for our residents. Mr. Patrick Hamill stated an increase of something like 3.8 per cent is a realistic increase and thinks the students that attend TC3 have to expect to pay for their pro rata share. It is unfair to place the burden on the taxpayer. Mr. Watros asked if any board member has individual thoughts on this to convey them to TC3. 286 December 29, 1977 Mr. Webster spoke regarding the transfer of people from the Probation De- partment to Social Services Department. Mr. Wyrough, Representative of CSEA, said he came to provide information and answer questions regarding the on-call coverage. An executive session of the board was called to discuss the on-call emergency situation in the Mental Health Department. The regular meeting was called back to order and Mr. MacNeil said they were unable to come to a conclusion and asked Mr. Wyrough if they could extend to the meeting of January 9, 1978 for a determination. Mr. Wyrough said he will communicate with the negotiating committee and will contact them.

She said the aim of the Legislative Committee and the Ad Hoc Dog Committee has been to reduce the amount of tax money. Mr. Robert Williamson, County Attorney, stated he met with Dr. Manuel Posso who said he will continue in his position as Medical Examiner for a short period of time. (In a letter dated December 6, 1977, Dr. David Safadi said that under existing arrangements after January 6, 1978, he would no longer be or work as medical examiner of Tompkins County.)

Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Culligan said he was again at the airport and he is not happy with the entrance and the placement of the ticket machine for parking. He also reported that at a recent state meeting, many counties bring their county flag. He feels it would be beneficial to look into a county flag and perhaps someone in the community with skills to design a flag could design one. Mr. Ray asked if anything has been done to indicate to the State about speed- ing up the lowering of the lake because of the present high level. Mr. Frank Liguori, Commissioner of Planning, reviewed the situation. He feels the New York State Department of Transportation and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation know the concerns of the people on different lakes and they do have a model program on how best to reduce levels on various portions of it without affecting people downstream by decreasing too much. He said they know the situation and are sure they are on top of it. There is now underway a major study by the Corps of Engineers to try to arrive at an improved model. Mr. Dates said in the last four years there have been two public hearings in the Town of Lansing that were well attended by cottage owners and people in Cayuga County and the State Corps of Engineers. He feels the county representa- tives have done all they can. Various committee chairmen reported as follows: Chairman MacNeil referred Mr. Culligan's criticism of the airport problem to Mr. Clynes. Mr. Webster reported a Public Safety and Correction and Social Services Committee meeting will be held tomorrow afternoon to discuss the IV -D Program. Mr. Culligan, Chairman, Health Committee, reported they met last Thursday and everyone should have received a copy of Mr. Williamson's full report on the County Attorney's interpretation of the duties of the medical examiner's office. September 26, 1977 165 The interpretation indicates that the law is vague. If it is creating confusion in minds perhaps there should be a change in the law at a local law level. They have invited Dr. David Safadi to answer inquiries from the County Attorney's report. Mr. Culligan also reported he attended a State meeting of Coroners and Med- ical Examiners' Association. He said the Salvation Army appeared at their Health Committee meeting regarding their construction of a new building for a center for emergency help, basically a sobering -up station. They have a donor ready to give an amount of money to build a $200,000 building but need to have a three- year contract with the county and the city—$25,000 county and approximately $7,000 to $10,000 for city to operate this program. They need to know by Novem- ber 1. He said the Health Committee has asked the Human Services Coalition to investigate and work closely with Mr. Deluca, the new Director of Mental Health Services. He said the committee approved four typist positions for business at the hospital because there is such a backlog of billing. They approved for the balance of this year the x-ray technologist at labor grade IX. The Radiology Department is very busy. The committee passed a transfer of funds for the Mental Health Department for the interim coverage for nights and weekends. He noted the sched- ule of Health Committee meetings for the month of October. Mr. Webster commented that there was difficulty communicating through the small opening at the admissions counter and suggested perhaps the opening could be enlarged. Mr. Culligan referred this to Mr. Clynes. Mr. Culligan also said they received one resignation from the Hospital Board of Managers. Mr. Dates said he and Mr. Culligan attended the first meeting of the Coroners of New York State at the meeting of the New York Association of Counties. Mr. Robey pointed out an article that appeared in the New York Times about the report of the President's Commission on Mental Health which has some fright- ening findings. The report says psychiatric and psychological disorders among Americans were worse than previously believed. About one fourth of the popula- tion suffers severe emotional stress. Mr. Miller, Chairman, Social Services Committee, said the Public Safety and Corrections Committee and the Social Services Committee will be meeting tomor- row relative to the IV -D situation. He said he met with the Human Services Coali- tion last Friday about the Coalition itself. Mr. Robey said at the last meeting that Mr. Miller reported the group home situation was a neighborhood problem. It is his understanding that wasn't the entire situation. He said he met with the Fall Creek Civic Association and they were quite concerned. They were certain the administration of the home was poor and if the home moved there would still be a problem in another neighborhood. He said he would like to set up a meeting with Mr. Miller's committee. Mr. Miller said he researched it and he feels his answer is as he reported at the last meeting but would be glad to meet with them. Mr. Clynes, Chairman, Planning and Public Works Committee, reported they met three times since the last meeting getting the airport package ready and re- viewing budgets. They received the funding offer for the federal government on the airport projects with the exception of the snow plow. All bids on the snowplow were rejected and will be rebid. They will have several resolutions to present on the airport projects this morning. The committee expressed concern over the com- munications from the County Attorney and County Administrator regarding the prospects of ever getting clear title to the Lehigh Valley Railroad property. It was the opinion of the committee to refer it back to the County Attorney and certainly if they can't get clear title, they wouldn't necessarily want that property. Mr. Clynes also reported regarding the question of the airport tower. They are receving input from the community and talked with Cornell University and they are talking with Allegheny and Allegheny is working through their lobbying 166 September 26, 1977 group in opposition to closing this tower. The committee did express support for the revolving fund on the specialized design of the sewage plants for small com- munities and passed it on to the Health Committee. The committee is meeting October 4th with the Boardman Planetarium people regarding the contract with the county. Mr. Holden, Chairman, Personnel Committee, said they met regarding resolu- tions pertaining to abolishing and upgrading and a work study program at Cornell University. Chairman MacNeil asked if Mr. Watros had looked into the decreasing use of books at the county library. Mr. Watros explained they met several times concerning the 1978 budget re- quests. They met with the Library, Historical Society and Board of Elections. At the meeting with the Library, they discussed the concern of reducing circulation and they were informed it appears to be somewhat of a short-term trend and probably would not be something that would last. Overall annual circulation prob- ably will end up higher than last year. There was no concern expressed by repre- sentatives of the library. They did not make any decision as to budget request and will be meeting again. They expect them to provide information relative to circu- lation at the next meeting. Mr. Webster reported that a new CETA employee has been hired to work with the Criminal Justice Advisory Board as a project aide and research assistant. The person hired has a unique experience and background. One thing he will be asked to do is gather data and do research on the question of the Assigned Coun- sel System. It is his hope they can perhaps demonstrate a cost savings rather than suggesting a program that is going to cost more money. There is a Criminal Jus- tice Advisory Board meeting Thursday and will be meeting with the new Mental Health Director and making known to him their concerns. Chairman MacNeil introduced Mr. Bryce Smith, the new Project Aide and Research Assistant for the Criminal Justice Advisory Board. Mrs. Livesay, Special Legislative Committee, said they met about two weeks ago. They heard extensive reports on the duties of the Environmental Management Council and Mr. Theisen expressed their concern that the County obtain the rail- road right-of-way. She and Mr. Miller met last Tuesday with the Resource Con- servation and Development Board at TC3. There were concerns by that group that Tompkins County's involvement with it is not what they had hoped. Mr. Miller and Mr. Theisen are interested in increasing involvement. They met last week with the Extension Service and reviewed their budget. They feel the budget is very strict for the programs they are trying to do. They are commencing negotiations of the SPCA contract for 1978. There was no contract for this year because they had hoped to get into expanded coverage. There have been many problems. They hope to have a twenty-four hour coverage contract. Mr. Haight, Chairman, Public Safety and Correction Committee, also an- nounced the important Public Safety and Corrections and Social Services Com- mittee meeting to be held tomorrow. Their next meeting will be held October 4th at 4 p.m. to discuss budgets. Mr. Dates, Chairman, Budget and Administration Committee, reported they have taken the next step on the proposed revision of the charter and code which is contacting department heads for input. When that input is received, they are going to have typed up suggestions and revisions available for board members for further action later. He explained the days collections at the hospital. Mr. Murphy, County Administrator, noted that Mr. Toia, State Director of Budget, sent letter indicating the goal for state budget this year was to work towards no -growth budget for fiscal year 1978-79. He said Mr. Toia addressed the group at the County Officers meeting and referred to the no -growth budget policy. September 26, 1977 167 Mr. Murphy also reported on hospital construction as of this date and distrib- uted a summary sheet to the board. Mrs. Anne Jones said the Coalition will be reviewing between now and Octo- ber 15 those requests which have come from the county. There is interest in terms of revenue sharing money in the city and county committees sitting down to- gether and talking. Mr. Robert Williamson, County Attorney, noted they received a decision from PERB which orders the county to negotiate radiologist salaries. Chairman MacNeil said he received from the Environmental Management Council a copy of the Fall Creek Area Environmental Conservation recommenda- tions and he referred it to the Planning and Public Works Committee. Chairman MacNeil referred Mr. Culligan's suggestion relative to the county flag to the Planning Department. Chairman MacNeil said he received revised copies of the rules for the Division of Youth and copies are available. He also declared the week of September 24th "Strand Theatre Week." He attended the opening Saturday evening. He noted he and Mr. Clynes attended a meeting to discuss the energy situation. He recom- mended that the courthouse maintain thermostats at 65°. Regarding the request that a committee be set up to study the office of District Atorney, he has requested a committee of four—Richard Thaler, Edward Lutz, Robert Stolp, Clark Hamlin— to serve. Regarding the possibility of a committee to review the county's present CETA positions and looking into those that might become permanent, since the lifetime of the contract has such a long time to go, he feels it inappropriate to formulate such a committee at this time until next year when they can ascertain from the federal government how long these programs are going to continue. Mrs. Livesay expressed her view that the CETA Advisory Board should be able to look into this and be able to advise us of whether we ought to be doing something. Chairman MacNeil said there is a meeting September 28th in Canandaigua regarding an appropriate designation of agencies within this county regarding tourist trade. He asked Mr. Dates to make recommendations perhaps to the Budget and Administration Committee to inform our board as to what these rec- ommendations are.

The committee met jointly with the Public Safety and Corrections Committee concerning the IV -D Program. The Department of Probation and Social Services people are working well together on this matter. He said they had a meeting with the group from Fall Creek concern- ing the group home in that area. Mr. Culligan, Chairman, Health Committee, said the committee has been meeting with departments. They met with the Office for the Aging, the Mental Health and Health Departments. It seems budgets are up about 8-9%. There are new positions being asked for within each one of those departments. The decision in the past has been to hold off positions until a new year and take each one when it comes on its own merit but they may have to revise that somewhat. On October 18 they will meet with the hospital administrators and they are asking the Budget Committee of the Board of Managers for their presentation of the hospital budget and projected income. Doctor David Safadi will be present at the meeting to make a response to the County Attorney's interpretation of the medical examiner's office.

They had a request to go ahead with modifications to the heating system which is good for all concerned. According to the contract the escrow fund should have been set up prior to any such permission with consultation with the county attorney. This request was granted by the committee as the County Attorney and committee did not feel it needed board action. Mr. Holden, Chairman, Personnel Committee, said they met September 23 and 27 regarding positions, the majority through CETA. They discussed improper labor practice and arbitration cases. The committee is unanimously agreed to keep negotiating. Mr. Watros said the library will be providing committee additional informa- tion regarding their budget request and will be meeting later this week. Mr. Robey thanked Mr. Miller for meeting with the representatives of Fall Creek Civic Association concerning the group home. Mr. Robey said he received a letter from Michael Martin, Human Services Coalition, regarding revenue sharing funds. Mr. Haight, Chairman, .Public Safety and Corrections Committee, said they met October 4th and considered budgets from the Fire Coordinator and the Sher- iff's Department. They also met with the Social Services Committee regarding changes in collection responsibilities. They will meet again October 12. Mr. Dates, Chairman, Budget and Administration, reported budgets were still coming in and he thanked department heads and committee chairmen. It will be about two weeks before they can start their deliberations. Mr. Howard Stevenson said the Hospital Construction Committee met last Thursday. They discussed the entrance road and are working with the State. They discussed the problem of electrical contractor processing proposal requests. He believes before there is another requisition, this problem will be solved. Chairman MacNeil pointed out the hospital is 469'o completed. It is on time, within the schedule and budget.. Mr. Frank Liguori reported that about one year ago the county became eligible for participation in the federal programs on economic development be- cause our unemployment rate remains at a continued high level.

FELLOWS Commissioners of Elections County of Tompkins Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 311 ANNUAL REPORT TOMPKINS COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT (Submitted by Robert L. Howard, Sheriff) (Detailed report on file with Clerk) The Sheriff's Department experienced another very busy year during 1977. Data received from the Department of Criminal Justice Service via computer read- out sheets shows the Department had 850 offenses reported in the first eleven months of 1977. The New York State Police received 443 reported offenses during this time for a total of 1293 offenses outside of municipalities in rural Tompkins County. Total number of offenses reported to all police agencies in the County was 4094. This figure shows an increase of sixty-six offenses over 1976. The County Jail population was down slightly from 1976. In 1977 1,130 people were incarcerated while in 1976 this figure was 1,171. Inmate programs were con- tinued and improved upon. Much of the credit for successful jail programs goes to volunteers who gave so many hours of their time without monitary compensation. The OAR Program was successful in obtaining funding and is progressing well. Several of our correction officers attended the Correction Officers Training School in Albany. Vandalism and other problems in the Jail were kept at a mini- mum due to programs and well trained officers working with the prisoners. We continued our youth programs in 1977 with many hours of department and volunteer time being spent with youth. The results of which we feel will benefit Tompkins County for many years to come. The Junior Deputy Program, as always, was very popular with total enroll- ment of 646 Junior Deputies. The summer campout was held in June with 131 Junior Deputies participating. Four of the participants won the privilege of at- tending a statewide campout at Norwich, New York, sponsored by the State Sheriff's Association. Members of the Department attended the Basic Training School at the Tomp- kins -Cortland Community College. Several of our people took advantage of other training programs to improve their law enforcement ability. Delinquency Prevention is still a major aim of the Juvenile Program. The Junior Deputy Program and the Law Enforcement Explorers Post sponsored by this department have helped to further this goal by developing a respect and understanding of the laws. Juvenile Cases: There were a total of 126 cases. Cases handled within depart- ment and released to parents, etc. -81; Cases referred to Juvenile Court -45. Navigation Report: The 1977 boating season was one of the busiest seasons we have had. There was only one personal injury boating accident.

Joubert, Manager) (Detailed report on file with Clerk) Most all areas of activity showed a steady and healthy growth with passenger flow of 139,269 increased by 14,118 passengers for the scheduled airlines. This does not reflect any passengers carried by the extensive (approximately 30,000) itin- erant general aviation aircraft operations during the year. I would estimate a minimum of 90,000 additional people on general aviation aircraft. Aviation gas sales increased by approximately 13,000 gallons reflecting increased itinerant air- craft size and type to more twins, jets and turboprops. Contracts were completed for Selover Aviation for aircraft maintenance serv- ice and Mall Airways renewal for scheduled air service between Binghamton, Elmira, Ithaca and Albany. Construction was completed on security fencing, security gates, roof on ter- minal and restaurant, Visual Approach Slope Indicators for both Runways 14 and 32, paid parking layout and booth, striping on sod Runways 01 and 19. Construction was started on new Crash Fire Rescue building, terminal reno- vation and expansion and rental car parking lot. All were interrupted by winter weather but anticipate completion by mid 1978. Construction on overlay and strengthening of Runways 14-32, all taxiways and the air carrier ramp will be started in early June 1978 with the majority done at night so we can maintain traffic and minimize interference for our traveling public. Completion estimated by late August, 1978. A new 1500 gallon Crash Fire Rescue vehicle was delivered early in the year giving us a much improved emergency response capacity. A new 1 ton dump pick- up was purchased and utilized extensively. Overall this has been another very successful year for your airport and I an- ticipate with the national trend for increased air travel and continued record sales of general aviation aircraft our share of the market will increase steadily in the coming year.

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 com- munity. In order to comply with this charge, the Commission serves in two ways: by listening and responding to expressed concerns and by actively providing in- formation and educational programs designed to increase public awareness 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 complaints to the State Division of Human Rights, the state agency responsible for investigating and re- solving alleged violations of the Human Rights Law. Wherever possible, it is the policy of the Commission to attempt a local resolution of difficulties and reconcili- ation of the parties involved. RESOURCES As in the past, the Commission's efforts in these directions have been greatly facilitated by support at both the state and local levels. Representatives from the Regional Office of the State Division of Human Rights were present at most meet- ings and were always available for help and advice on specific complaints and matters of policy. Locally we particularly appreciate the support of Henry Theisen, our liaison to the County Board of Representatives. Financially, the Commission operates at a modest budget to support its pro- grams, office, and half-time Investigator ($7,681 for 1977 and $7,762 allocated for 1978). Presentations to the Board of Representatives have demonstrated that the County has received and will continue to receive good value from this investment. In the eyes of the Regional Office, the activity of the Tompkins County Commis- sion is second only to that of the Commission of Syracuse and Onondaga County which, despite its proximity to the Regional Office, has a staff of 15 persons and a budget in excess of $150,000. Our neighbor, Chemung County, has three staff persons, a smaller case load, and a budget in excess of $23,000. (Figures from New York State Division of Human Rights, Official Human Rights Agencies in New York State, July 1975.) Our most valuable resource has always been the interest and activity of com- munity members who share, with the volunteer Commissioners, concern and responsibility for the promotion of human rights. As the rest of this report indi- cates, community participation in these programs has continued to increase over the past year. ACTIVITIES OF THE COMMISSION The Commission's ability to meet day to day problems in human rights has steadily improved as the office and the role of the Investigator have become estab- lished in the community. Statistics collected by the State Division of Human Rights over the past five years show that in the years 1973 and 1974, before the employment of an Investigator, a total of 43 complaints were received from Tomp- kins County residents. In the years 1975 and through November 15, 1976, a total of 73 complaints, nearly double, were received by the Regional Office. In 1977 alone, 82 complaints were sent to the Regional Office. Formal complaints represent only part of the picture. Over 367 specific inquiries were handled by our local office in 1975 and 1976. In 1977 alone, 562 specific inquiries were handled. These are calls and visits on totally separate matters; each inquiry might involve a fair number of separate phone calls and conferences needed to resolve the matter. This repre- sents a 700% increase in inquiries we have handled since 1974. 318 Tompkins County, New York The tables at the end of this report illustrate the kinds of inquiries we have been receiving over the past few years. In 1977, as in previous years, employment problems remain the greatest concern of individuals who call the Commission for help, and allegations of sex discrimination predominated. In our judgement, the increasing number of these calls reflects a deepening awareness of rights as well as a reaction to existing prejudice and economic adversity. Discrimination is often difficult to prove; on a statewide basis, "probable cause" is determined in only about 20% of complaints received. Most persons who go on to file formal com- plaints are aware of the delays and hardships they may have to face in defending their rights, and they meet this situation with courage, hope and perseverance. One role of the local office is to be available to the complainant during this period of investigation by the Regional Office in order to help explain procedures and facilitate communication and feedback to the State Division. We are fortunate that members of the Regional Office have always been cooperative in working with us. Our office has increasingly tried to avoid formal complaints and attendant delays or hard feelings by bringing issues up for discussion on a local level. In 1977, over 50% of the cases we handled which involved alleged violations of the Human Rights Law were successfully conciliated on a local level, without resort- ing to formal legal channels. We have gone directly to businesses to discuss privately various provisions of the Human Rights Law. Additionally, the Investi- gator has been available to act as ombudsman by answering or following-up a wide range of questions and problems and by serving as a go-between for the in- terested parties. The Commission's objective in these instances is to benefit all sides by easing the sharing of information and feelings. It is a trbute to these efforts that businesses and landlords are more and more frequently coming to the Commission on their own initiative to ask for suggestions or to update themselves on how their current policies, application procedures, etc., may be affected by the law. In 1977, 45% of all calls received by our local office came from employers and landlords seeking our help or advice. Throughout the year, the Commission continued to advertise its services in the Ithaca Journal and hold monthly meetings oven to the public. Volunteer Com- missioners, serving on committees, have reported on topics concerning employ- ment, housing, education, and voting rights. The Commission continues to invest most of its time and energy into developing personal contacts in smaller, face to face groups. Members of the Commission and,/or the Investigator have been in- vited to participate at training sessions conducted by the Board of Realtors, to meet with employee groups, personnel groups, and high school and college stu- dents. We also helped organize and speak at workshops in conjunction with the GIAC, local women's organizations, and at a city workshop designed to deal with the rights and needs of disabled persons. We have welcomed these opportunities to be available personally in informal settings to listen, share information, and work together to meet some of the human rights needs felt by Tompkins County resi- dents. This foundation of experience should serve us well as we pursue our efforts into 1978. On a Commission level, we recognize the need for an expanding outreach and public relations program for closer communications with other County agen- cies and the Board of Representatives.

The fees for index numbers were raised from $3.00 to $10.00 and for notes of issue from $5.00 to $25.00 and $50.00, depending on whether or not a jury is demanded. All of these fees are forwarded to the State and from April through December the sum of $18,661.00 has been forwarded. It was not until September 15, 1977, that the State agreed to assume payment for two employees in the County Clerk's Office who perform, in addition to the County Clerk, court -related functions. Although these two positions are now State employees they remain under the jurisdiction of the County Clerk. In order to reorganize the County Clerk's Office and more efficiently utilize current employees and positions, one deputy county clerk and an account clerk were abolished by the County. The duties of the account clerk were incorporated with the one deputy county clerk. As of November 1, 1977, the County Clerk's Office assumed processing pistol permit applications and related documents in conjunction with Hon. Betty D. Friedlander. Existing staff is presently handling the work. There was approximately a 20% increase in deeds and mortgages recorded during 1977. Also, effective September 1, 1977, recording fees were increased from $1.50 per page to $3.00 per page. Other fees increased were: filing notary public oaths from $1.00 to $2.00; filing transcript of judgment from $2.00 to $3.00; and issuing transcript of judgment from $1.00 to $2.00. These increases represent the first substantial fee increase since 1962. Except for the changes mentioned herein, other items handled by the Record- ing Office remained approximately the same. In the Motor Vehicle Office, Robert Bush retired as Supervisor and Dorothy McKay was appointed Acting Supervisor pending a Civil Service Examination. Several changes have been made in the office, the most important of which has been the installation of a one -line system for crowd control. This has proved to be very effective and improved service to the public. Signs have been posted, applica- tions have been made available so an individual does not have to stand in line to obtain one, written tests are given on a walk-in basis rather than scheduling, new lenses and charts have been obtained for the eye -test machines and the plate room has been moved to the vault in the Motor Vehicle Office for better efficiency and control. The past year has been very successful and productive thanks to all of the employees in both offices and to the continuing assistance and cooperation from the Board of Representatives. 322 Tompkins County, New York ANNUAL REPORT FIRE AND DISASTER COORDINATOR (Submitted by John L. Miller, Coordinator) (detailed report on file with Clerk of Board) The following is a brief summation of the activities of this Office. I have enclosed a break -down of alarms. Again this year we handled an in- crease in alarms. A large percentage of this increase is due to the fact that four fire departments are now providing emergency first-aid and rescue service, for the first time. At this writing three more departments are setting up to provide this service. This will mean no part of the County will be more than 5 minutes from qualified emergency medical service and rescue. With a County -Wide, one phone number for fire and ambulance service, we now have the capability to have each of our 85,000 citizens provided with quick emergency services. The training of fire personnel during 1977 will show you the great interest. This program is run to provide each fireperson with basic and advanced skills in fire fighting. Each person on his own time takes part. The instructors are paid by the State but all training aids are provided by the County along with a classroom. During 1977 the F.A.A. and New York State funded 97% of a new Airport Fire Station which includes a well designed class- room, large enough in size for our use. As the Airport is protected by volunteers it will when provided with furniture and audio-visual equipment, improve the quality of our and the airport's training program. Please refer to material pro- vided at budget time on justification of need. This past year we were successful in assisting 4 fire departments in gaining funds for their departments from the Federal Rural Development Act of 1972. In 1977 we worked to complete licensing and layout for the Advance Life Support System. It is our hope to have some financial support from the State Bureau of Emergency Health Services in 1978. In 1977 we received the Hurst Jaws of Life tool. We ran training classes for its use in every fire department in the County. I responded 8 times for this use and in fact on 3 occasions, did in fact remove a victim from the wreck. I responded to many fires to provide breathing air and/or other needs. In March, 1977, I received a new truck. In those 9 months, some 23,280 miles were traveled on various calls or business. In closing, this report only mentions a few brief items. This office covers many many requests from fire departments, ambulance squads, city, villages and towns. These requests cover help in Federal Flood assistance, fire codes, equipment needs and so forth. I would like to thank each Board member for his time and consideration to this Office. The following is the breakdown of alarms for 1977: Fire:. Apartments -43; Mobile Homes -33; Dwellings -200; Dormitories -26; Stores and Offices -22; Manufacturing -7; Schools, College -22; Institutions -7; Public Assembly -16; Storage, Farm -43; Misc.

Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 323 ANNUAL REPORT TOMPKINS COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES (Submitted by Robert J. Wagner) Public assistance—"welfare"—is money and services given to needy families and individuals who qualify for it under the Fedreal Social Security Act and the New York State Social Services Law. DIRECT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS There are three direct assistance programs namely: (1) Public Assistance which is divided into ADC, HR, EAF and EAA (2) Medicaid and (3) Food Stamps. I. PUBLIC ASSISTANCE (PA) Aid to Dependent Children (ADC) is financial assistance given to a family with minor children without sufficient means of support because of the ab- sence, death, or incapacity of a parent or the unemployment of the father. This is the largest direct assistance (cash) program administered by this department. Home Relief (HR) is assistance for single individuals and childless couples. Emergency Aid to Families (EAF) is assistance for fam- ilies to meet a one-time financial crisis. Emergency Aid to Adults (EAA) is aid to meet crisis situations for persons who are disabled and/or over sixty-five who are receiving Supplementary Security Income. The Public Assistance average monthly caseloads in 1977 was: ADC 736 HR 361 EAF 13 EAA 7 TOTAL 1117 II. MEDICAID (MA) Medical Assistance (MA) is a program that pays medical bills, in whole or in part, of New York State residents who can not pay the cost of such medical care. In the program, money is not given to the eligible recipients, but rather the department pays for the needed medical care directly to the provider of the medical service, i.e., doctor, hospital, nursing home, drug store, etc. The Medicaid average monthly caseload in 1977 was: Reg MA 813 SSI 767 TOTAL 1580 III. FOOD STAMPS The Food Stamp program is designed to increase the food purchasing power for eligible individuals and families. Depending on factors such as income and size of family, it is determined that a family will be eligible for a certain "bonus" amount of Food Stamps. An eligible family can pur- chase, at banks, food stamps that are worth more than was paid for them. The stamps are redeemable at any store that accepts food stamps. The food stamp program costs Tompkins County nothing since all costs are borne by the Federal and State government. During 1976, the Food Stamp program generated over 750,000 in new food purchasing power in Tompkins County. The Food Stamp average monthly caseload in 1977 was 1399 cases. "Cost-containment" in direct assistance programs continues to be the trend in 1977. The programs themselves have not been disturbed, but the regulations emulating from Albany concerning these programs are more restrictive. For ex- 324 Tompkins County, New York ample, the range of drugs covered by Medicaid has been reduced to cover most generic drugs but has excluded non-essential and high priced drugs; for example, those not essential to sustain life, relieve or prevent severe pain. SERVICE PROGRAMS Community based planning determined how Title XX services were delivered in Tompkins County. The intent of community based planning is to avoid duplica- tion of services and to set community priorities for the use of available service monies. The community planning group was comprised of representatives from private and public service agencies, representatives from the public at large, as well as actual users of the services. Title XX planning is an on-going process subject to frequent changes and amendments. I. ADULT UNIT Investigates complaints and provides appropriate services for the protec- tion of adults. Assists persons to remain in community or return to the community from institutions. Explores emancipation for persons under twenty-one. Provides services to other adults when requested. Some ex- amples of services are: information and referral, emergency services, hous- ing, educational training, chore services, health related services, and home delivered meals. II. CHILD WELFARE UNIT Handles adoptions, foster care for children, counsels unmarried mothers, provides home management counseling, parent education, conducts Family Court-ordered custody investigations and private adoption studies, pro- vides services to families so foster care will not be needed, etc. III. DAY CARE UNIT Recruits and certifies Day Care Homes, approves placement of children in these homes, arranges payment for Day Care if family is eligible for sub- sidy, etc. IV. CHILD PROTECTIVE UNIT Investigates all complaints of child abuse, neglect, or maltreatment; pro- vides and obtains necessary services on a 24 hour, 7 days a week basis. COUNTY HOME As a unit of the Tompkins County Department of Social Services, the Tomp- kins County Home and Farm are maintained to provide a controlled environment for persons who are unable to function in a private setting. The Home is an ap- proved Domicilary Care Facility under the Board of Social Welfare and one of two or three in New York State which still operates its farm. The farm is main- tained to provide food for the Home including therapy of those residents able to participate. The Home's location on Perry City Road just off Route 96, makes it ideal for the person with a rural background or the urbanite who appreciated the peace and tranquility of the countryside. The home provides food, shelter, special diets when necessary, assistance with all activities of daily living and a therapeutic, recreational and diversionary ac- tivity program for all residents. Care and supervision are provided on a twenty- four hour basis. A total number of 18,980 days of resident care was given during 1977.

HIGHLIGHTS OF 1977 I. Educational Activities A Soils, Crops and Conservation Planning Workshop was held in March at the Agricultural Headquarters to help farmers become more familiar with their soils and discuss soil conservation problems. The 3 -session workshop was attended by about 15 farmers. Talks on soil conservation activities were given at two Cornell classes, Tomp- kins -Cortland College, and the Trumansburg Rotary and Senior Citizens. An ex- hibit was present on conservation planning at the County Fair. II. Units of Government $31,000 in USDA Soil Conservation Service 216 funding was used to install 1530 feet of rock rip -rap on Cascadilla and Six Mile Creeks to alleviate stream - bank erosion caused by the 1976 storms. The Town of Dryden sponsored the work. The Town of Lansing is seeking funding under the Soil Conservation Service RC&D program for rock rip -rap to stop bank erosion on Salmon Creek where it poses a threat to the town road. Assistance is also being provided to the town in developing a Mine Land Use Reclamation Plan for the town gravel pit. Soils information and suggestions for erosion control measures in urban areas were presented to a committee of the Village of Lansing that proposed changes in the existing subdivision and zoning ordinance.

The relationship between the Library Board and the County has been clarified after years of time consuming conflicts. Phase I. of the library's physical reorganization has been completed, resulting in better use of the available space. Phase II. of the reorganization was also approved during 1977. Once carried through it will eliminate the crowded condition in the Children's Department. and will accommodate all the newspapers, periodicals and microforms at a single loca- tion for easier use. A new professional librarian position was approved, which will help provide better library service. New lighting was installed during the summer, and now, finally provides sat- isfactory light levels for reading and makes the library a more inviting place in which to be. The decline in circulation was the only seemingly unfavorable trend during 1977. At the same time, the actual use of the library is increasing. One of the few places where citizens can get information without being charged for it is the public library. Residents of Tompkins County are making increasing use of the library's information services. Our library and its resources, books, periodicals, records, maps, pamphlets, etc. are very well used by the people even if they are borrowing fewer books. De- clining circulation is a nationwide trend due in part to the decrease in the school age population. In order to make people aware of the available library resources, we began using mass media during 1977. We are participating weekly on the Barbara Hall program on WHCU-AM, and we produce book reviews for WSKG-TV, Channel 46 (Cable Ch8) which are being telecast Mondays and Fridays during the 7:00 and 11:00 P.M. Newscenter program. We also began using the "community access" time on local Cable Ch. 13. We believe that these involvements will, in the long run, increase library use and even circulation. As for the future we have two major problems to solve: 1. To replace our outmoded, inefficient circulation system with a modern com- puterized system which would cut down waiting time for reserves, would provide up-to-date information on what books or other library materials are in demand and eliminate time-consuming routine work, releasing manpower for more respon- sive service to the people. 2. Although the Phase II. reorganization of the facilities will result in more efficient use of available space, the library will be crowded within 2-3 years with- out available expansion space. An addition to the building will be needed for the 1980's. We have started looking for ways and funds to solve the above problems, and hope that we will find a solution soon. I'd like to thank the Library Board for their understanding, suggestions and guidance. A special thank you to the County Board of Representatives for their cooperation and the smooth handling of library affairs. Thank you for the gen- Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 327 erosity of the Friends of the Tompkins County Public Library who have supported our mass media involvement by purchasing equipment and tapes. Thank you for the cooperation and understanding of the library staff, who have cheerfully put up with constant changes and lived through numerous "future shocks" during the year. And last, but not least, a thank you to our library users who put up with temporary disruptions during our Phase I. reorganization, calmly accepting the noisy conditions during the replacement of lights and kept on making positive suggestions for the improvement of library services. I hope that with your help and cooperation, 1978 will be another good year for the library. 1977 STATISTICS CIRCULATION Circulation of all library materials 481,123 Circulation of books, magazines, pamphlets 445,603 Film circulation 3,015 Art Reproduction circulation 2,751 Audio materials (records, cassettes) 29,754 Interlibrary loan to other libraries 7,552 Interlibrary loan from other libraries 3,936 MATERIALS OWNED Tompkins County Public Library book holdings 82,225 Finger Lakes Library System (CBA) book holdings 73,270 Grand Total book holdings 155,495 Tompkins County Public Library total materials holdings 113,331 Finger Lakes Library System (CBA) total materials holdings 76,582 Grand Total materials holdings 189,913 Number of Art Reproductions 580 Number of current periodical subscriptions 324 Number of phonorecords and audio cassettes 9,158 SERVICES Number of reference questions and inquiries (Adult and Juvenile) 14,876 Number of reserves filled 11,286 Number of registered borrowers 30,434 PERSONNEL IN FULL-TIME EQUIVALENTS Librarians 9.1 Clerical and page staff 27.8 Total 37.1 328 Tompkins County, New York ANNUAL REPORT HUMAN SERVICES COALITION SUMMARY AND EVALUATION -1977-78 Program Objectives I.

Will have completed "in-depth" program reviews of seven (7) United Way agencies by June 1, 1978. 330 Tompkins County, New York Goal III. To determine the extent of unnecessary duplication of human services. Activities Conducted a study and made five (5) recommendations regarding duplication as follows: 1. The EOC Alcohol Recovery Program and the Alcoholism Council should merge or consolidate their services. 2. That some consolidation should take place between alcoholism programs and Alcoholism and Drug Coordinator's office functions. 3. That there should be some consolidation between CETA programs and ad- ministration housed at EOC, the County Personnel Office, and the New York State Employment Service. 4. That significant duplication of service exists between the EOC Big Brother/Big Sister program and similar programs (for different client groups) run by the Ithaca Youth Bureau. 5. That significant duplication of service exists between Mainline and pro- grams run by the Ithaca Youth Bureau, the Y.M.C.A. and Suicide Preven- tion; some future merger between Mainline and one of these agencies might be advisable. 6. That Southside Community Center and the Ithaca Youth Bureau seriously consider future possibilities for joint programming. Since these recommendations were made, the following actions have taken place: 1. The EOC Alcohol Recovery Program, the Alcoholism Council, and the Alcoholism Coordinator's office have merged. 2. Certain previously duplicated functions are being consolidated under a new County Manpower program umbrella operated by the County Personnel Office. 3. Mainline has merged with the Y.M.C.A. Goal IV. To increase agency understanding of the tools of accountability. Activities 1. Conducted seven (7) workshops on how to use the Human Services Coali- tion Resource Directory. 2. Conducted one workshop on the N.Y.S. budget for human services. 3. Conducted one workshop on program budgeting. 4. Conducted one workshop on proposal writing. 5.
