The Assessment Division plans to mail each property owner a statement showing taxes he would have paid on last year's levies if the new assessed values had been used, compared with the taxes he actually paid At the same time each residence owner also will receive a statement showing the values of the five properties in the County that are most nearly similar to his own, along with owner's names and other information After new assessments are mailed out, taxpayers will have ten days to contact the Assessment Department for an informal hearing or answers to any questions This informal review period is critical Thereafter, any changes may be made only after a written application and a formal hearing Taxpayers remaining dissatisfied may carry an appeal to the courts Tompkins in its cur- rent revaluation is setting up a computer-assisted assessment system, partly so that it can keep assessed values more nearly up to date in years to come More frequent updating over shorter periods is expected to reduce the changes in assessed values needed in the future Under privilege of the floor, Susan Clarke, Director, Office for Aging, said copies are available of the Braille copy of the resources for the visually handi- capped in Tompkins County put together by volunteers It was suggested that a letter of thanks be sent to the people involved Various committee chairmen

August 14, 1978 meeting were approved Under privilege of the floor, Mrs Evelyn Rucker, 602 W Court Street, directed her statement to the Chairman of the Board and all county elected offi- cials regarding her problem with a program and the delay in payment to the New York State Electric & Gas Corporation which caused her account to be dropped from the budget plan She also has to pay the gross instead of the net amount Mrs Livesay said she talked with Mrs Rucker, people at EOC, the administra- tor of the program, and met with a community services representative of the New York State Electric & Gas Corporation What appears to have caused the problem is the way the guidelines were written by the federal agency administer- ing the program and the way they were interpreted by various people There are still meetings and correspondence going on to see whether anything can be done to help Mrs Rucker and other people that were on the budget that were in the same kind of problem She said there will be a report at a later date Mr Ray stated he will be giving input to her committee and also to the Budget and Administration Committee and will set up a meeting with the appropriate people Mr Richard March, 1260 Ellis Hollow Road, spoke in opposition to off-track betting He felt if the county has a problem meeting expenses, he suggested trying to cut costs by finding ways to be more thrifty or continue to raise revenue by morally acceptable methods Mrs Livesay said there were two traffic deaths on the highway having to do with bicycling She appealed to the committees that are dealing with these mat- ters to proceed with all haste to come in with alternatives to get this mix of transportation off of very narrow roads with no shoulders Mixing on inadequate highways is something they must deal with Mr Robey said before the board voted on off-track betting, not one of his constituents came to him in opposition, but many came in favor He said if they misread the public there is an option for a referendum and if the people want to, they can vote off-track betting out Mr Miller, Chairman, Social Services Committee, said June Rogers from the Day Care Center

and discuss alterna- tives September 11, 1978 145 Mr Clynes, Chairman of the Personnel Committee, said the Health Committee requested they look at a temporary appointment of a Director of the Office for Aging The committee felt this wasn't necessary at this time The CETA Advisory Committee is continuing with Title XI project reviews Several are being re- jected as not having definable goals and for other reasons Mrs Livesay did not agree with the decision of the committee regarding the temporary position for the Office for Aging Mr Ray, Chairman, Planning and Public Works, reported re the George Road Bridge After considerable discussion, the Committee and the Town of Dryden agreed as follows The bridge itself will be removed by the County The County will provide a bull dozer and an

installation of the sewer stub The Town will do all work beyond the area involved in filling the cut and will do the surface treatment Howard Stevenson and Bill Mobbs agi eed that the bridge could be removed during the month of September so that filling can occur in October There was some discussion as to whether or not anti -recession funds may be used to do the work Bill Mobbs reported that if it is necessary to hire a crane, the Highway Department does not have uncommitted funds available for the crane The Committee agreed that Jim Ray should report the matter to the Board of Representatives for their information My Ray said there was a lot of public input and believes they have resolved it successfully He also reported they accepted bids for bridge surface and material spreader and will probably be ready for approval by the next board meeting He noted the Landstrom Sanitary Landfill permit has been received and is good until 1981 They had a discussion with the state

Livesay suggested a committee look at this incentive legislation and how it is working out in this county and whether it is costing us money in court cases Chairman MacNeil asked John Muiphy to look into this request Mr Culligan asked about the unemployment insurance action Mr Hurlbut explained that Tompkins County was denied from joining because of the way the New York State Law was written Every county in New York State was also 146 September 11, 1978 denied In those states that may join if their action is successful, if it unconstitu- tional, it is unconstitutional for all the states Chairman MacNeil noted he attended with Henry Theisen and Beverly Livesay a retirement dinner for Glenn Cline of the Extension Service He also said there has been considerable discussion about the Ithaca Gun Company and there is a committee working on this matter Frank Liguori, Commissioner of Planning, reported a few years ago it be- came apparent there was a need in Tompkins County for an area that could be developed, 1) to make sure there was a place for local industry to expand when needed and, 2) have some additional land available that might bring in new industry After considerable study throughout the county, the airport area came out being the best location for such a site During the initial phases of that activity, Ithaca Gun was interested at one time in locating there Morse Chain did locate there Unfortunately, all the land packaged in that initial phase was consumed by Morse Chain There is a need now to reevaluate the availability of land in that area whether it be County, Cornell or private land, and begin packag- ing it for further potential development in case we do have an opportunity with a local industry or industry from elsewhere He hoped it will be pursued by the Economic Advisory Board and the Industrial Development Agency in the future He said city lands are smaller in aci eage and serve a different kind of need They will be working in harmony with the city The city proposal is for something less than 14 acres of land and what they are considering is much greater than that — 100 to 200 acres Chairman MacNeil said the latest meeting was held at City Hall with Mayor Conley and he is sure all involved in this situation will offer all the cooperation they can Permission was given to add the following resolution to the agenda Federal Safer

County that the lease should be with the contractor and not a financial institution Discussion revolved around "fair market value" of the telephones at the end of ten years It was brought out that

to order by the Chairman at 9 00 a m to discuss the proposed revision of the Charter and Code Mr Harris Dates read a prepared statement of the Budget and Administration Committee "In 1968 the Tompkins County Board of Supervisors authorized a charter commission to draft a charter and code giving the people of Tompkins County maximum self-government through the exercise of home rule powers granted under the Constitution of the State of New York The charter and code was approved by the voters of Tompkins County at the general election in No- vember 1978 and was put into effect in January, 1970 Since that time, various amendments to the charter and code have been made, including, among others, amendments dealing with assessment, reorganization of the Mental Health De- partment, and creation of the position of County Administrator New county of- fices have come into being since 1970 which needed to be mentioned in the charter and code, such as the Office of the Aging, Human Rights Commission, and Youth Bureau It became evident that a revision of the charter and code was needed to incorporate all this material We have now completed that revision, and a preliminary draft has been made available for your inspection The finalized version will be available in a few weeks, it is being prepared now If any members of the public here today wishes to receive a copy of the finalized version, please leave your name with the Clerk of the Board In this proposed revision some of the language has been reworded to make it read smoother and, we hope, be more understandable We have included all amendments to the charter and code adopted by the Representatives since 1969 and updated the document to reflect current county practices You have all had a chance to review the preliminary draft I now welcome your comments One of the most im- portant amendments was Local Law No 5 of 1973, which created the position of County Administrator That local law gave the County Administrator the power to appoint the heads of all county departments, offices and agencies, subject to confirmation by the Board of Representatives In this proposed revision we have consistently stated that department heads are appointed by the County Ad- ministrator We don't see that as a change, because the power was granted by the local law in 1973 " Mr Jim Rice, Chairman of the Tompkins County Board of Health, stated they have discussed the proposed charter changes in their various stages of de- velopment over the past ten months They appreciate the opportunities provided to discuss these proposals and the fact that many of their early suggestions were incorporated into this draft The Board of Health, however, continues to have the following concerns 1) Appointment of Health Commissioner—requests that the provision for appointment of Commissioner of Health remain as in the current charter, namely The Commissioner of Health shall be appointed by the Board of Health subject to confirmation by the Board of Representatives If a reference to consultation with the County Administrator would be more comfortable for the Board of Representatives, that would be acceptable to the Board of Health 2) Administrative Manual The only reference to the administrative manual in the current proposal is related to petty cash If the changes in the charter and code are essential for development of the administrative manual it should appear that some reference as to who prepares a manual, what it will contain and how its provisions become effective is also essential This is especially important for departments like the Health Department where administrative and program re- sponsibilities are assigned to different bodies 3) Article XXVII, Section 27 06— recommend that Section 27 06 be changed to read "Except as otherwise provided by this Charter and Code, every: board, the members of which are appointed, shall be an advisory board The members of such boards shall be appointed for such terms as are or may be provided in this Charter and Code or applicable law " 4) Powers and Duties of the Board of Health—Article III The Board of Health has reviewed and adopted changes in its Bylaws In order for this pro- 158 September 25, 1978 posal to be consistent, it requests deletion of the phrase "(Director of Nursing and Patient Services)" in Section 8 04 (e) Mr Lou Nayman, President, CSEA, commented that he felt public hearings should be held in the evening so more people could participate He also men- tioned the Chief Executive Officer Mr Jim Spero, Chairman, Community Mental Health Services Board, read a motion that was approved unanimously by the Board "The proposed revision of the Charter calls for the appointment of the director of Mental Health by the County Administrator following consultation with the Community Mental Health Services Board with confirmation by the Board of Representatives and the Com- munity Mental Health Services Board The Mental Health Board is responsible for determining mental health program, policy in the county, to insure that persons considered for the directorship have competency and program orientation con- sistent with these policies and can take advantage of the knowledge the board had on its sources of candidates, it is desirable that the Mental Health Services Board initiate the recruitment process and perform preliminary screening of candidate It is, therefore, Resolved, that the Board of Representatives is requested to alter proposed language of Section 12 00 as follows There shall be a department of Mental Health Services headed by a Director of Mental Health Services which will be appointed by the county's administrator upon recommendation by the Community Mental Health Services Board, subject to confirmation by the Board of Representatives " Ms Jill Ferguson, representing the League of Women Voters, requested more time be allocated for public discussion of the document before its ratification Mrs Dooley Kieffer, speaking as an individual, feels there are still some internal inconsistencies She stated she feels there is insufficient redundency in the Charter She would like to meet with the Budget and Administration Com- mittee to list her concerns in detail Mr Marcham stated Sheila Ferrari, John Murphy and Harris Dates have been working hard to incorporate proposed changes He has five specific proposals that he is proposing to the board for action this morning, if possible He commented he heartily endorses the strengthening of the administrator position by giving more direct appointing authority Mrs Livesay commented that it might be premature to vote on October 16th She said she will meet with Mrs Ferrari regarding her suggestions She is quite concerned over the role of the County Administrator and feels if it were to be a County Administrator that person needs to be much more clearly answerable to this board and not be given the executive powers that an elective executive would be given Either have an executive branch and legislative branch both elected by people or have an elected board that would carry all the responsibility and then appoint administrator to carry out those policies Another concern is the role of the board committees now She feels that is not clear in the Charter Another major area is the budgeting procedure Mr Dates urged everyone to get their comments in writing He also said they will not be able to meet the October 16th date Mr Robey said it was his understanding the intention is that this board and other boards of the county, i e , Board of Health, Mental Health Board, be re- sponsible for policy and the County Administrator be clearly responsible for ad- ministering that policy Mr Theisen said he has a list of his comments and will get them ready for distribution in a few days He has some comments on the committee structure, County Administrator position and appointing authority of the County Ad- ministrator, financial and budgetary process He is concerned about the Eco- nomic Advisory Board being a part of the Charter Mr Dates said they extended the deadline for all comments until next Tues- day at 4 59 p m Mr Buyoucos asked if there is to be any change in the proposal submitted by the Library that they would have an opportunity to discuss it before it is made a part of the charter September 25, 1978 159 Chairman MacNeil said he would not like to see a limit put on committees nor would he hke to see the basic structure of the committees changed too much and the work of committees, because it is his feeling if you have an opportunity to stand in somebody else's shoes, you can better understand the responsibility of that individual The work they do, the recommendations they bring in and the research they do is very vital to the conduct of business of the county The Chair- man of the Board should have some degree of flexibility in delegating things of this nature The informal public hearing was closed REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 25, 1978 The Chairman called the meeting to order at 10 00 a m Present 14 Excused—Representative Culligan (arrived -1) Members and guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance The minutes of the September 11, 1978 meeting were approved The clerk noted a list of correspondence received since the agenda was mailed was placed on everyone's desks Mr Robert Wagner, Commissioner of Social Services, gave a report on the Title XX Program A written report was distributed to board members Mr Marcham stated he had distributed a memo but he read it for the record "At Saturday meetings a week ago I said I felt the hospital phone rebidding came out an such a way that it left the impression the specifications were drawn so only one firm could meet them I apologize to John Murphy and Bob Williamson for any implication they or others might draw that they as individuals actually did that If I'd thought so, I'd said so I didn't and don't I was concerned that a local firm already on the fob had been eliminated by the new bidding and I should have expressed that concern more clearly, which I do hereby by inserting this paragraph in the record" Various committee chairmen reported as follows Mr Miller, Chairman, Social Services Committee, noted they met this morn- ing and discussed state grant monies—Title XX and the budget He stated the local share cost of the budget will be going down about $300,000 Mr Clynes asked Mr Hurlbut to address the board on the recruitment of the director for the Office for Aging later in the meeting Mr Ray, Chairman, Planning and Public Works Committee, reported the delay at the airport on the paving has to do with installation of granite curb that has to be custom ordered They discussed the acceptance of bids for a material spreader for the highway department Negotiations are underway with the New York State Department of Transportation regarding the highway realignment arrangement They have a resolution today for repair of the service road at the airport This particular road was not able to be funded under any ADAP proj- ects and needed immediate action They recommend that it be brought up to a quality standing that will allow routine minimal maintenance in the future Mr Ray said in the Freeville-McLean Road and the Gulf Hill Road, railroad tracks have been removed and road patched where abandoned railroad crossed the highway He said the County has completed the removal of the structure part of the George Road bridge and are now waiting for the villages and towns to install their sleeve for future sewer fines before the bulldozer can begin He said in the last committee minutes he reported that a resolution on Boardman House would be on the agenda for September 25th Board meeting terminating said present lease agreement He said full consideration will be given to other arrange- ments with the Boardman Planetarium and others after the present agreement is resolved Mr Marcham said a resolution was put through Southern Tier East Regional Planning and Development Board in which one of the problems is industrial de- velopment projects being proposed to the Regional Board by just about every 160 September 25, 1978 municipality in an eight county area There is a problem of lack of coordination among municipalities The proposal made and accepted was if several mu- nicipalities are making proposals within a county there must be an agreement worked out among municipalities on the proposal and in the absence of that, that would be taken into consideration when the funds are allocated for eco- nomic development Mrs Livesay, Chairman, Special Legislative Committee, said they will meet September 27th at noon Speaking for the Health Committee she said there was a meeting last week regarding ambulance services There will be another meeting held later for further discussion She also mentioned the Kiwams Group will hold a dinner for RSVP volunteers on October 5 Mr Robey, Chairman, Intergovernmental Relations Committee, reported they met to go over the budgets for the Board of Elections, Library and the Youth Bureau No action was taken and another meeting is planned The major items in the library budget is installation of an anti -theft device system The Board of Elections is requesting a copy machine The Youth Board divided their budget into three parts They heard only the administrative budget at this time Mr Robey commented on the procedure for adding resolutions to the agenda He feels there should be a clearer rule Chairman MacNeil noted if one wishes to bring a resolution up the day of the meeting, if there is one negative vote the resolution would be dismissed unless the individual that read the resolution asked to waive the rules By a two thirds majority, the resolution could then be put on the agenda Mr Mason, Chairman of the Ithaca -Tompkins County Transportation Com- mission, said they met September 20 The major item was confirmation of their Planning Committee Chairman Jack Ettinger and Frank Liguori have been charged by the commission in developing a list of individuals to serve a very im- portant role of the Planning Committee The list was approved The Planning Committee also received their charge from the Commission and are at work de- veloping a plan of work for the coming year In addition, they heard a report from Larry Frabboni, Town of Ithaca Planning Department, and Don Lifton from the Village of Lansing on the northeast transit situation They heard a report from Harry Missirian and Frank Liguori of the Tompkins County Planning Department on the progress and renewal of activity on the Route 13 Corridor plan The Transportation Commission is serving a joint appointment between transportation and highway safety, and Sheriff Robert Howard was there to affirm the mutual concerns that these two groups have and what he believes will be a positive re- lationship between the commission and the Traffic Safety Committee Chairman MacNeil said Mr Erie J Miller, Jr has been inducted into the Hall of Fame as a prominent athlete at Cornell University Chairman MacNeil said several county officials went to the New York State Association of Counties Fall Seminar at the Concord He listed all the resolutions passed at the seminar and will refer them to the Legislative Committee He also said evening meetings have been arranged with all town boards, Mr John Mur- phy, an appropriate member of the county Board and himself to discuss towns make up of the county budget They also contacted Mayor Edward Conley for input from the Common Council There was a five minute recess and Chairman MacNeil informed the Board that Mrs Sandra Babcock, the Board's stenographer, is being promoted to the Comprehensive Health Planning Office, and today is her last day here Mr Hugh Hurlbut reported he has advertised and received applications for Director of the Office for Aging The Search Committee of the Office of the Aging reviewed applications and spoke to applicants Those interviewed were not interested because of the salary He felt by the time interviews are again con- ducted and review of the job description, it would be a minimum of three months before they hire anyone Mr Clynes indicated he would ask for a temporary di- rector at the proper time Permission was given to withdraw a resolution from the agenda setting a public hearing on Local Law No 2 Permission was given to add the following resolutions to the agenda Repair

property Dr Carl Fredericks also spoke He said they would keep Boardman House as a planetarium and science museum Mayor Edward Conley stated historic preservation is a large part of the revitalization of the community and the city has now invested about $25,000 into preservation of the Boardman House He felt it would help develop the tourism industry, help preserve their educational integrity for the community and act as a generator for the revitalization for the central business district He said the city would like an opportunity to discuss with the Planning and Public Works Committee the alternatives to cancellation of the lease at this time Mr Ralph Jordan from the Chamber of Commerce said the Chamber has en- dorsed the Boardman House concept from the beginning He feels a planetarium would offer the most distinct benefit to the community Mr Daniel Marvin who has been active in the struggle to save Boardman House, supported Mr Ray's resolution which he feels merely paves the way to offer the building to any group, and hopefully the first group they would meet with would be the people that represent the project that have put a lot of time and money into it He thinks it would be unfair to those who have contributed to the planetarium to continue the present lease arrangement as the building is deteriorating every day Mr Ray said the Planning and Public Works Committee will discuss this proposal with any interested groups at 3 00 p m today A lengthy discussion took place It was Moved by Mr Robey, seconded by Mr Satterly, to amend the resolution to "omit the first

income people, offered to serve as a consultant to the program trying to help it recognize and address any problems in its mode of operation There was a need to clarify, develop and integrate program goals, operating procedures, personnel training and evaluation and reporting Today she reported on what they have been doing to tackle those concerns and criticisms She feels they have built some improvements into the program They have set down clear goals and used these as guidelines for work procedures They have developed new ways of keeping track of the work that is done She thinks they

these under one committee He also said questions are being raised about whether the proposed charter changes are a wise decision giving more power to the Ad- ministrator Staff members and public are asking questions about what board committees' relationship will be to department heads after the change is made The question has arisen as to what the County Administrator's responsibility is He feels the board on some regular basis should make a decision as to what it considers the administrator's function to be and provide him with a job review Mr Miller, Chairman, Social Services Committee, reported they met to listen to a report by Scott Heyman, the new investigator for the Human Rights Commission, and approved his budget for 1979 Mr Miller also said he met with the Human Services

us in the near future Mr Watros, Chairman, Public Safety and Correction Committee, said they met and have completed all their budget requests and forwarded them to the Budget and Administration Committee Mrs Livesay, Special Legislative Committee, said they went over the SPCA budget There is a problem of municipalities looking for greater service The contract being provided through the County is for certain types of services There are difficulties with the SPCA being involved in so many different negotiations for different levels of service Their preference is for the municipality to work through the County on getting different contracts all into one contract The com- mittee approved the amount in the budget, which includes an increase in service, but the idea of the committee is to recoup that increase through the various com- munities that are looking for the increase in service They are trying to make it as flexible as possible, but as comprehensive as possible, and to have the cost of dog control borne primarily by the owners of dogs through the municipalities Mr Robey, Chairman, Intergovernmental Relations Committee, noted there are two meetings sponsored by Tompkins -Cortland Community College One is a breakfast November 6th at 7 30 a m and the other is November 9th -10th an- niversary celebration Mr Mason said the Transportation Commission has not met

reported that the first week in November he is sure the printing department will be able to get out the next edition of the proposed charter At the November 13th board meet- ing they will project when they are going to have meetings, and he is hopeful at that time to set up a meeting devoted just to the proposed charter and code revision After that they will set up a public hearing Mrs Sheila Ferrari stated distribution will be the same as before—members of the board, department heads chairmen of lay boards, news media and if any- one needs one, they will be available at her office and the

that were dismissed by Justice Paul J Yesawich He received another claim from Betty Muka for $10,017,000 He also said they have contacted several appraisal firms concerning appraisals of commercial and residential property in the assessment cases that are pending Mr Watros asked Mr Williamson to respond to the two questions on the ballot—Local Laws 2 and 3 Mr Williamson said the reason there are two is Local Law No 2 authorizes conveyance to a private not-for-profit corporation without public bidding Local Law No 2 authorizes transfer subject to various conditions He put the two he thought were the most vital conditions on the printed proposition that appears on the ballot If the not-for-profit corporation is unsuccessful, the entire hospital property goes back to the county If one wants this transfer to nonprofit corpora- tion, one must vote yes on both Local Law No 2 and Local Law No 3 Permission was given to withdraw resolution regarding approval of proposal for a

Morrow read a report from RAMP, the Repair and Maintenance Program in Tompkins County The report points to the need for a program of housing repair and maintenance in rural Tompkins County, particularly low and moderate income families who lack other means of solving their housing prob- lems They are asking for support in securing the financing for, and in establish- ing a structure for administering a program to provide low interest home repair loans and other related services to needy rural homeowners Chairman MacNeil referred the request to the Planning and Public Works Committee Mr Ray, Chairman of the comrmttee, said they will refer it to the Tompkins County Planning Board for a recommendation Mrs Livesay said it was not clear to her what some of the overall objectives of the Charter are She was concerned about the role of board committees Mr Dates, Chairman of the Budget and Administration Committee, stated the revised proposed revision of the Charter spells out the Charter as they understand it and if they haven't addressed everything they always have a new year and time to do it Mr Robey stated a study was done in 1976 by the New York State Depart- ment, Division of Community Affairs, Bureau of Management Services, and he read an excerpt from their summary of findings There was a subsequent Phase 11 study done later November 27, 1978 243 Mr Ray said when he first came on the Board he asked for a policy book He was told there would be one as soon as the Charter and Code was developed, which would be called the administrative manual He was in favor of taking the legislator out of administration of day-to-day activities of this county and get the department heads to take over that responsibility Chairman MacNeil said one of the changes made was the chairman would not speak for the board nor would any member of the board speak for the board, but policy would be set by this board Mrs Livesay said she thinks they still have the same ambiguities that were referred to by the study done by the Department of State which have left the Charter unclear It says this board will set policy and that the board will super- vise policy but then it doesn't say how that will be done Mr Dates said they have already passed a resolution directing Mr Murphy to present to this board an update of rules of the board as well as administrative manual and he is sure it is in the works and will be presented early next year Mr Culligan, Chairman, Health Committee, noted there is a vacancy on the Community Mental Health, Mental Retardation & Alcoholism Services Board There is also a vacancy on the Hospital Board of Managers The Health Committee met and reviewed several problems Meadow House had to move temporarily to the Family and Children's Service building and in the meantime, a new location must be found for them and downtown Ithaca is their most favorable location request They approved funds for new Health Department cars He also reported that Dr Gaffney, Commissioner of Health, has indicated she would like an addi- tional public health nurse He said Mr DeLuca, Director of Mental Health Serv- ices, will be at their committee meeting on December 12th to appraise the commit- tee of the appropriate study being made for that Meadow House transaction He also spoke with Mayor Conley in response to the problem the City of Ithaca and surrounding areas have on ambulance service at the hospital Mrs Livesay reported relative to the hospital ambulance problem The ambu- lance group that met came to a general agreement the solution would be to have each of the municipalities involved enter into a contract with the two ambulance services and the ambulance services would do their own billing It was also agreed there was no way they could do so by the end of the year They sent a request to the Board of Managers to extend their service through the end of January There will be a meeting tonight in the Ithaca Town Hall with ambulance services to see if they can come up with a contract There will be individual contracts but they would like the same wording She said Mayor Conley was at the Health Committee meeting and was quite concerned and presented a proposal that would have much more involvement for the county in the whole situation Rather than individual contracts, the County would contract with ambulance services for those five muni- cipalities and then there would be a choice of the county either subsidizing the ambulance services to the extent it would be necessary under the contract, and providing funds back to the municipalities that are already funding their own ambulance services The alternative would be for the five municipalities that are affected by this to pay the money into the county contract which would then cover the municipalities The Health Committee came to no conclusion on the matter The decision was that they would bring it to the Board Mr Culligan said the Board of Managers will extend service to February 1, 1979 He also said the Health Committee approved a request for some transfer of funds in the Mental Health Services for the interim coverage program The total through October was $32,695 Mr Ray, Chairman, Planning and Public Works Committee, reported he re- ceived a letter from FAA saying they are looking favorably upon the project of putting a new snow blower at the airport sometime in 1979 They also will be asking the committee to add to that request, the painting of a water tower into the project for 1979 The committee will be meeting next Monday Chairman MacNeil suggested perhaps some of the inside pictures at the Air- port could be of interesting scenes of Ithaca and Tompkins County and perhaps some horticulture people might be interested in floral arrangements Mr Watros, Chairman, Public Safety and Corrections Comnuttee, said he will 244 November 27, 1978 present a resolution pertaining to an intercounty agreement for a crime labora- tory facility Mr Robey, Chairman of the Intergovernmental Relations Committee, reported the committee met and considered and approved the Youth Plan There is a reso- lution on the agenda this moi fling The Library Board of Trustees meets tomorrow evening He attended a meeting at Tompkins -Cortland Community College to hear a report from their Finance Committee It looks as if the Board of Trustees will be recommending an increase in tuition to the State maximum of $750 00 Mr Williamson, County Attorney, reported they have two hearings this week One is for Improper Practice and they have an employee grievance hearing It was adopted to withdraw the Adoption of the Area Plan for the Office for Aging from today's agenda There was a lengthy discussion regarding reconsideration of an amendment to the Charter and Code which lost at a previous meeting Mr Marcham spoke about the Planning Board request and stated they are not trying to be irresponsi- ble regarding the Planning Board They want to give them an opportunity to be heard The change is to rescind the change in make up that added two city of Ithaca and one Town of Ithaca members He doesn't consider it a major change The County Attorney ruled as far as the Mental Health Board motion is con- cerned, it cannot be reconsidered again at this time since it was reconsidered at the last meeting and defeated, unless there is unanimous vote of the board or unless the rules are waived Chairman MacNeil ruled to reserve Mr Webster's right to bring up a reconsideration, and would like to postpone his ruling until the Charter revision resolution is presented RESOLUTION NO 345—LETTER OF INTENT — CRIME LABORATORY RENTAL Moved by Mr Watros, seconded by Mr Theisen Mr Harlin McEwen, Chief of the Village of Cayuga Heights Police

Assistance — "welfare" — is money and services given to needy families and individuals who qualify for it under the Federal 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 absence, death, or incapacity of a parent or the unemployment of the father This is the largest direct assistance (cash) program administered by this de- partment Home Relief (HR) is assistance for single individuals and childless couples Emergency Aid to Families (EAF) is assistance for families 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 1978 was ADC 753 HR 314 EAF 14 EAA 7 TOTAL 1088 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 this program, money is not given to the eligible recipients, but rather the department pays for the needed medical care directly to the pro- vider of the medical service, 1 e , doctor, hospital, nursing home, drug store, etc The Medicaid average monthly caseload in 1978 was 1602 cases per month III FOOD STAMPS (FS) 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 purchase, 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 The Food Stamp average monthly caseload in 1978 was 1414 cases "Cost-containment" in direct assistance programs continues to be the trend in 1978 The programs themselves have not been disturbed, but the regulation, emulating from Albany, concerning their programs are more restrictive Also, there have been more safeguards developed to insure that only those eligible for assistance receive funds SERVICE PROGRAMS

suspension of some Allegheny flights A delay in Commuter Airlines pickup of this service was caused by Certification problems which were solved by mid November giving us an expanded service to Boston, Westchester, Washington, LaGuardia, Newark, Kennedy in addition to Allegheny and Mall Airways destinations Total passenger flow was 131,135 (a decrease of 8134) not including the passengers carried by the extensive (32,694) itinerant General Aviation aircraft operations during the year I would estimate an additional 90,000 persons thru the Airport on these aircraft Aviation gas sales increased by 16,266 gallons reflecting the increased operations of itinerant aircraft Construction was completed on the new Crash, Fire, Rescue and Fire Train- ing Facility and the Terminal expansion Runway overlay, strengthening, and grooving as well as overlay, strengthening of taxiways and air carrier ramp were completed Redesign of Terminal access and Paid Parking entrance were sub- stantially

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 There were 2239 fire calls and 2553 ambulance and rescue calls A large percentage of this increase is due to the fact that seven fire departments are now providing emergency first-aid and rescue service Three of these depart- ments set-up rescue service this past year This means that 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 1978 will show you the continued great interest These programs are run to provide each fireperson with basic and ad- vanced skills in firefighting Each person on their own time, takes part During this year we moved our offices and training facilities into the new Crash/Fire/Rescue Building at the Airport Along with this we bid and received new audio visual equipment, this involved a lot of time and effort on the part of many people This greatly improves the quality and capability of our training programs We were also able to bid and purchase new training room furniture, which will insure comfort and convenience to those who will sit through many a 3 hour lesson in state fire training programs In 1978 we worked to complete a grant application from the State Traffic Safety Board on a EMS Bio -Telemetry Radio Communications System This was an approved project but there were no funds submitted in this year We have received word and will re -submit this application in the next fiscal year This will provide the capability of direct transmissions of medical data and 2 -way voice communications from ambulance and rescue squad units at the scene of a traffic accident, to a hospital emergency room physician, so he may diagnose accident victim miles away and give instructions for treatment In the past 12 months, some 25,000 plus, miles were put on the vehicle re- sponding on various fire or emergency calls, attending meetings or business In closing, this report only mentions a few brief items This Office covers many various requests from fire departments, ambulance or rescue 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 their time, help and con- sideration to this Office The following is a breakdown of alarms for 1978 Apartments — 40, Mobile Homes —19, Dwellings —196, Rooming Houses — 5, Dormitories —12, Stores & Offices — 24, Manufacturing — 5, Schools, Colleges —15, Institutions — 7, Public Assembly — 6, Storage, Farm — 46, Misc Buildings — 6, Motor Vehicle —172, Marine Craft —1, Outdoor — 44, Railroad — 4, Rubbish, Grass — 96, Mahcious False —156, Rescue, Emergency — 853, Invest , Malfun — 346, Mutual Aid — 187 Ambulance: County — 446, Bangs — 494, Groton — 269, Lansing — 328; Slaterville —107, Trumansburg — 276, Dryden — 387, Rescue & Other — 246 Training of Fire Personnel: There was a total of 367 people trained in 1978; total of hours — 6,294 Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 383 To the Honorable Board of Representatives Tompkins County Ithaca, New York 14850 Gentlemen: I am submitting herewith a 'report for the year 1978 showing appropriations, expenditures, and balances in the various budgeted items, and the estimated and actual income received.
