Section I Section 210 of the Tompkins County Charter and Code shall be
amended to read as follows
Section 2 10 — Board of Representatives; Committees.
The Chairman of the Board of Representatives shall, within thirty (30) days
after election, appoint from among the membership of the Board of Representa-
tives, the chairman and members of the standing committees of the Board The
committees shall be no fewer than five (5) nor more than eight (8) in number,
dealing with the main areas of board policy, including but not limited to adminis-
tration, finance, budget, personnel, planning, economic development, public
works, human services, health services, public safety and correction, and educa-
tion Such committees shall meet regularly to consider policy and make legisla-
tive recommendations to the Board of Representatives within their respective
categories of County government functions Several committees may be appointed
as deemed necessary All committees may from time to time, subject to approval
by the Board of Representatives, direct the County Administrator or other County
staff to assemble information to aid them in developing policy
Section ll This local law shall be effective immediately
The Chairman called the public hearing to order at 10 00 a m
Mrs Livesay spoke against the proposed amendment, not because of the
proposed change from naming specific committees to defining types of commit-
tees, which she favors, but because this amendment retains the objectionable
wording which 1) removes from board committees any responsibility for super-
vising the implementation of board policies, and 2) suggests that board commit-
tees cannot ask for any staff time without first coming to this board

to whether they intend to appropriate any money to human services The agency
puts much work into application, and if there is no prospect of getting money,
there isn't much sense in their making application He said the county might want
to raise the same questions whether they wish to encourage a lot of agencies to
file if there is not much chance of their getting money

Present 12 Representatives Excused Representatives Marcham, Miller and
Watros
Mr Mason asked for special orders of the day at 11 00 a m for discussion
with Mr Clinton Cotterill and Mr Bill Brothers on the proposal of the Municipal
Officers Association to form a county -wide commission on animal control
Under privilege of the floor, Mrs Livesay commented on County Youth
Board attendance that was reported by the news media and she said that perhaps
an unfair burden is placed on the City of Ithaca to fill five positions She recom-
mended two positions for the City and having at -large positions filled by this
Board
Mr Robey said he would speak to this subject in his committee report
Mr Culligan, chairman of the Health Committee, said some members of the
Hospital Board of Managers, Hospital Administrator, the architect, and manager
of the construction company would be present to answer questions on accepting
bids for the administrative wing at the hospital He called the Boards' attention
to an article on Challenge Industries in the New York State Environmentalist
that refers to their glass collection program He said the Hospital is doing an
almost fantastic business and things are smoothing out
Mr Robey, liaison to the Mental Health Services Board, said they met with
Mr Bart DeLuca of Mental Health Services who reported that when the State
divided the Mental Health Department into three departments, one of which is
the Office of Mental Retardation (OMR), there was confusion on the money eligi-
bility for Tompkins County OMR last year funded us $40,000 less than expected
and members of the Health Committee agreed to make up the difference if needed
Last week we were told the budget was amended to include that amount Mr
DeLuca thought they would get around $200,000, then we learned there was a
ceiling of about $168,000 that had been placed on the programs The so-called
620 programs that are 100% funded by the State are not at issue here These
are only programs that get 50% funding from the State — part of Challenge
Industries, Special Childrens' Center, Mental Health Association, etc Our budget
came in at $135,000 which is another shortfall Programs would have had to be
cut if nothing was done We met with the committee and Assemblyman Hugh
(Sam) MacNeil last week and now they think the State is admitting to an error
this year because of their error last year of cutting back our budget by $40,000
That was the base for this year Mr DeLuca does know actually how much he
will get but he is operating on assurance from the State, and we hope the problem
will be taken care of soon If not, we will come back to this Board
Mr Robey, chairman of the Intergovernmental Relations Committee, said he
still does not have final word on the Tompkins -Cortland Community College
budget He reported that the record of attendance of County Youth Board meet-
ings is generally not good They chose to point out to the inumcipahties involved
the importance of filling vacancies and urging their attendance before fall when
they will be allocating $100,000 for youth projects They have not taken the ap-
proach of changing the membership or the structure of the Board
Mr Satterly, chairman of the Human Services Committee, said they met with
Commissioner Wagner and he reported that Medicaid keeps increasing potentially
They are meeting with funeral director on burial expenses There will be a Human
Rights Commission meeting this afternoon He introduced Ms Ann Mathews from
Cooperative Extension
Mr Mason, chairman of the Public Safety and Corrections Committee, said
they met July 3 with Mr Clinton Cotterill of Municipal Officers' Association
There is new legislation (Article 7 of Agriculture and Markets Law) going into
effect in 1980 which will require changes in ordinances and fee schedules Their
proposal is to have this Board establish a county -wide commission on animal
control that would deal with dog control issues, a contract with SPCA, collecting
and setting licensing fees, etc , and in effect assuming the responsibility for dog
July 9, 1979 105
control in the county Their proposal calls for a five -member commission — one
appointed by this Board, one by Common Council of the City of Ithaca and three
appointed or elected from the Municipal Officers' Association Any municipality
joining the commission would be bound by its regulations However, it is not
mandatory to belong to the commission If the municipality elects not to belong
to the commission, the State law will require them to provide for their own dog
control, impounding, licensing, etc , which would be a substantial expenditure for
the municipality Our committee had concerns on how the commission would be
established and whether members should be elected or appointed, however, we
did approve it in concept and are looking to this Board for a concensus Our com-
mittee meets on July 17 at 4 00 p m and we are asking you to consult with town
boards before that time and be prepared to take a stand on the advisability of
establishing this commission at the next Board meeting It is our recommendation
that we proceed along these lines, consulting with the County Attorney about the
actual establishment The State has set a minimum license fee of $2 50 for
neutered dogs and $7 50 for un -neutered dogs but municipalities can adjust this
fee upward if there is a $5 00 difference between the two
Mr Murphy said the proposed change in the Rules of the Board concerning
appointments has been placed on your desks and will be on the agenda of August
13

clerk at the hospital and two laboratory helpers to the pharmacist
Mr Hugh Hurlbut, Personnel Commissioner, gave an update on the CETA
problem they had with the new minimum average federal CETA wage Tompkins
County and most other employers in the county pay more than that That left
the problem of developing new jobs, which they did There was then a question
of equal pay for equal work They were told for the position of manual service
worker and clerical service worker, as of October 1, the State was not going to
guarantee reimbursement on those titles anymore so they were forced to terminate
one direct county employee and between 25 and 30 employees in other agencies,
primarily municipalities and school districts throughout the County They then
raised the question on aide and trainee Last week they had a man from the
Albany CETA office in Ithaca reviewing job specifications, made on-site visits
to the largest employers of those positions They are awaiting word from him
Mr Satterly, Chairman, Human Services Committee, said they met and bud-
gets have been completed and given to the Budget and Administration Committee
for their consideration Many on the committee felt they had recommendations on
a better procedure and he asked that they prepare a memo on what some of those
recommendations might be, which will be compiled Regarding the Summer
Youth Program, the committee had asked John Gaines, Director of the Youth
Bureau, for an evaluation of that program which he will hopefully have sometime
in November
Mr Ray, Chairman, Planning and Public Works Committee, said tomorrow
the Multi -County Solid Waste Committee will meet in Auburn and will be receiv-
ing a final report from the Steering Committee They hope to bring it to the
Planning and Public Works Committee on Tuesday The staff and others from the
Multi -County Solid Waste Committee will be there to explain the recommenda-
tions This is an important detailed project and he asked each board member, if
possible, attend that meeting, October 16, 1979 at 12 30 p m
Mr Mason, Chairman, Public Safety and Corrections Committee, said they
have completed their review of budgets they are responsible for and will be
making recommendations to the Budget and Administration Committee They have
October 9, 1979 147
had meetings with representatives of the SPCA and have come to a conclusion
on a recommendation to make to the Board They will have a resolution prepared
for the next meeting and he will have a copy of the proposal for all board mem-
bers The committee voted to recommend the County participate in an agreement
with the SPCA to maintain a dog control operation This system would be funded
entirely by revenues generated through dog licensing procedures and fines and
impounding fees They also recommend the County enter into an agreement with
SPCA for animal control other than dogs This will be explained in detail in the
proposal Mr Mason also noted one of the things in their budget deliberation is
the fact the Sheriff has requested six additional people for the fail This is the re-
sult of a directive handed down by the New York State Commissioner of Correc-
tions after inspecting the jail and determining there is a manpower shortage in the
jail They are mandating six more people as jailers He read a letter written to
Sheriff Howard from the New York State Commissioner of Corrections, about the
extraordinary quality of programs at the jail and congratulated the Sheriff and
his staff
Mr Satterly said his community has a very active Sportsmen's Club and they
are very concerned because Tompkins County is getting a small amount of
pheasants that are being released Mr Watros said he will bring the matter up
at the next meeting of the Fish and Wildlife Management Board
Mr Murphy gave a summary report on the contingency fund of hospital
construction There is still $92,678 left There are two final change orders pending
with the general contractor They had tentatively allocated the new administra-
tion wing $62,000 from this contingent fund It looks like they will wind up with
more funds than planned, hopefully to complete the administration wing He said
if you compare the contingent fund with the total amount of construction to date
of $17,700,000, that is approximately 3 8% He feels there are few, if any jobs
of this magnitude and complexity that have been built in recent times in New
York State where they used a contingent fund of less than 4 per cent He feels
having a construction manager is probably the best money ever spent They are
now in a one-year guarantee period which will be up May 19, 1980 Their objec-
tive is to get a list of any kind of problem about three months prior to May 19
The work is progressing on the administration wing The anticipated date for
occupancy probably will be the end of January
Chairman Dates, Chairman of the Old Hospital Use Committee, reported they
inspected the space and Mr Liguori and his staff are working up a projected
usage of the county It is a county building and if there are any county depart-
ments that should be up there, it should be reserved for the county He is hopeful
that it will be brought to the board right after budget season

care, etc They are problems that require the court to look to the community for
resources in order to solve the problem She feels an advisory group is a formal
structure which will provide communications back and forth between the Family
Court and the community This will help the court in bringing about the desired
mix of community resources so they can serve children and families as best they
can

RESOLUTION NO. 286—APPROVAL OF CONTRACT — COUNTY OF TOMP-
KINS, TOMPKINS COUNTY HOSPITAL AND TOMP-
KINS COMMUNITY HOSPITAL
Offered by Mr Dates
Chairman Dates asked County Attorney Williamson to review the proposed
agreement between the County of Tompkins, the Tompkins County Hospital and
the Tompkins Community Hospital for the transfer of real and personal property
and all assets, tangible and intangible, used in the operation of the Hospital, to
the Hospital Corporation under certain terms, covenants, conditions and con-
sideration
County Administrator John Murphy spoke of his concerns as chief fiscal
officer of Tompkins County, and Chairman Dates asked the Clerk to read into the
minutes of the meeting a letter he has received from Mr Murphy
"The purpose of this memo is to set forth my concerns regarding the proposal
to grant authority to the hospital to borrow funds from the Shortfall Re-
serve Account without approval of the Board of Representatives
To explain the calculations of the Shortfall Reserve Account would require
extensive detail which I shall be happy to furnish any time you desire — suf-
fice to say at this time that I feel a reasonably short explanation of the pur-
pose of the Shortfall Reserve is as follows
Based on the calculation furnished by the hospital, it represents the amount
of excess depreciation which will be received in the years 1980 thru 1988
which must be invested at 6% through April 15, 2000 to provide adequate
funds to make annual Bond Principal payments in the year 1989 thru 2000
In past years when Bond Principal payments were not required, depreciation
funds have helped to offset or reduce hospital operating losses Now that
annual bond payments are required, depreciation must be used to provide
funds for such principal payments or the county will be required to provide
the funds from the tax base since the bonds are general obligations of the
county
The proposed agreement states in Section III A) "A Debt Service Fund shall
be established at the Hospital Corporation consisting of three separate ac-
counts — Bond Principal Account, Bond Interest Account, and Shortfall Re-
serve Fund Account " Since the Hospital Corporation will have the respon-
sibility to manage the Shortfall Reserve Account which has been established
to make future Bond Principal payments I feel it is appropriate to require
approval of the Board of Representatives if the Hospital Corporation wishes
to borrow from that account
In 1989 when the Shortfall Reserve Account should reach the $3,317,436
balance required to cover the future shortfall, it may be appropriate to invest
that sum or some portion of it in long term securities which would guarantee
at least the required 6% interest, rather than hold it for investment in short
160 October 25, 1979
term Certificates of Deposit or other investments which would be subject to
market fluctuations I feel the Board of Representatives should participate
in such decision
Please let me repeat what I have said many times in the past in your presence
— I firmly believe the hospital should be established as a Voluntary Not -for -
Profit Corporation and we have agreed to many hospital suggestions which
are incorporated in the proposed agreement to achieve that goal The sug-
gestions included in this letter are made to fulfill what I feel are my obliga-
tions as Chief Fiscal Officer of Tompkins County "
County Attorney Williamson distributed a paper based on the differences
concerned in Exhibit E (4) of the contract Item 4 being whether the Board of
Managers may borrow from the Shortfall Reserve Fund up to $1,000,000 at 6% to
meet working capital requirements agreeing that for a period of 30 days each
year it would have no outstanding indebtedness with this fund or that the Board
of Managers may borrow up to $1,000,000 from the fund with the approval of the
Board of Representatives
Mr Culligan moved to amend Item 4 of Exhibit E to read "The Hospital
Board of Managers may borrow from the Shortfall Reserve Fund up to $500,000
at an interest rate of 6% to meet working capital requirements However, amounts
over $500,000 will require the approval of the Board of Representatives. The
Hospital agrees that for a period of thirty (30) days each year it will have no
outstanding indebtedness in this fund " The motion was seconded by Mr Clynes
During discussion that Followed, Mrs Ruth DeWire of the Hospital Board of
Managers said the Shortfall Reserve Fund was their idea to meet principal pay-
ments between 1990 and the year 2000 She said they face a difficult fiscal situa-
tion in the next few years She said they are asking for the privilege of borrowing
from the Shortfall Reserve Fund in April, repaying in May, borrowing again in
June and not having to come to this Board each time
Mrs Bonnie Howell, Hospital Administrator, said that many of the consultants
hired said that the new hospital would be a deficit operation for the first couple
of years Because of the third party fluctuations and problems concerning the
rates, they have had a difficult cash flow The contract sets up three separate ac-
counts to which they put monthly payments They will put a certain amount of
money into the Shortfall Reserve Account every month for a ten-year period This
agreement will require them to go out and borrow that money to put into the
fund if they don't have it some other way It js like borrowing money to put in
your savings account Their obligation to the Board is to pay back interest and
principal that was borrowed to build the hospital The Board of Representatives
always has the ability to take the whole hospital back if they can't meet their
obligation
Mr Murphy brought to the Board's attention that when they reach the
plateau that is the objective 3 3 million, would there be a joint review of how that
money would be invested at that time
A lengthy discussion followed
A roll call vote was taken on the contract amendment which resulted Ayes —
Representatives Culligan, Freeman, Livesay, Marcham, Mason, Miller, Ray, Robey,
Satterly, Tillapaugh, Watros, Dates — 12 Noes — 0 Excused — Representatives

PUBLIC HEARING
1980 TOMPKINS COUNTY BUDGET
NOVEMBER 19, 1979
The Chairman called the public hearing to order at 7 30 p m and the Clerk
read the notice as published in the official newspapers
Chairman Dates made introductions and Mr Watros, Chairman of the Budget
and Administration Committee, asked Mr John Murphy, County Administrator,
to review the budget as changed He also commended Mr Murphy and David
Doyle, Deputy County Administrator — Finance, for their efforts in getting the
budget together
Mr Murphy explained the budget
The following people identified themselves and spoke in favor of continued
funding of the Alcoholism Council Florence Ricciuti, Director of the Alcoholism
Council, Darryl Waterman, board member of the Alcoholism Council, and Health
Education at Ithaca High School, Andree Levy, James Rice, Jr , Justice of the
Town of Ulysses, William Sullivan, Jr , Mike Stanley, Chaplain of Camp Mon-
terey, Martha Ferger, Coordinator of Parket, Donald McDonald, John Wooster,
Frank Edleman, Patricia Valls, Task Force for Battered Women, Amy Place,
Residence Coordinator at Cornell University, Joe Scheher, James R Sharp, Marc
A White, Hilda Tanner
In answer to a question as to why the Budget and Administration Commit-
tee decided to eliminate the amount for the Alcoholism Council, John Murphy
explained that contract agencies with mental health were all wash items Their
total revenues offset appropriations with no county contributions up until the
time Challenge and ARC were formed When Challenge and ARC were formed,
it was the first agency in the Mental Health budget to include county funding
When this agency was formed, it was the combination of two other alcoholism
services Those agencies did not include county funding When they came in the
first year they started in with a request of $4,000 Last year it was in the $5,000
range The objective was to see if the contract agencies could still operate as a
wash item if possible
Mr Watros said, as a member of the Budget and Administration Committee,
two different concerns that he saw were that the agency be self-sustaining if possi-
ble, and that the figures as submitted and reviewed appeared to allow for the
same level of service without a county contribution
Mr Marcham said he felt there was not evidence presented to them to indi-
cate the education dollars would produce results He heard high marks on the
counseling program but questioned the affect of the education program
Mr Robey said there is a difference of opinion on the board One committee
recommended it and the other didn't He said he appreciated comments but didn't
want them to think the board has made up its mind yet
Mr Bruce Silvey, Executive Director, Strand Theatre, Harry Henn, Presi-
dent of the Ithaca Opera Association, Inc , Michael Dow, Stage Manager, Ithaca
Ballet, Charlotte Stone, Business Manager of the Ithaca Players, spoke in favor of
the county supporting the Strand Theatre's request for funds
Betty Corrigan spoke in support of the Information and Referral Service
Bruce Watkins, Counseling Service for the Visually Impaired, requested
the board grant his revenue sharing request Dr Willard Schmidt, Tompkins
County Health Commissioner, said he had looked into the program and feels this
should be considered very carefully by the board
The public hearing was closed at 9 22 p m

ADJOURNED MEETING
NOVEMBER 19, 1979
The Chairman called the meeting to order at 9 29 p m
Present 15 Representatives
It was Moved by Mr Robey, seconded by Mr Culligan, That Code F4322 440
Alcoholism Council, be reinstated with $7,987 in the 1980 Budget A lengthy dis-
cussion took place and the amendment was adopted with Representative Marcham
voting no
Mr Theisen said he sent a memorandum to John Murphy asking him for an
explanation of the justification for the $5,800,000 in the reserve fund for the
County and asked if Mr Murphy could answer that now
Mr Murphy said Mr Theisen's letter requested specifically an explanation
of the amount of encumbrances and also what the other proposed uses might be
They now have the full accounts payable system on the computer and every
purchase order placed is encumbered The hospital bonds are general obligation
bonds for the County The annual amount payable on hospital bonds is roughly
$800,000 principal and 1 2 million dollars interest There is a two million dollar
liabihty every year for the next several years They did have a reserve for bonded
indebtedness of 14 million and most of that has been advanced to the hospital
pending their going into the new facility and getting reimbursed When they
come to the April principal payment, $815,000 and the interest is around $800,000
If the hospital doesn't have the money, the county still has the obligation to make
up that difference The county acts as the receiver of all the uncollected taxes
after a certain time period which varies during the year Eventually they collect
it, but there is a time lag there The county is receiver of all receivables from
New York State Aid account When any agency files, they file 50 per cent if they
are a 50 per cent account dealing with one-half matching aid and half state aid
One-half they file with the county, the county pays them in full, they then bill
the State of New York That one million dollars represents sales tax in excess of
what was budgeted, around $200,000 of interest over what was budgeted, roughly
$180,000 reimbursement from the assessing department of the State of New York
for funds we were eligible for under the revaluation completed but Thomas
Payne did not know when we might collect the money so they didn't budget the
revenue until they had some reasonable expectation
It was Moved by Mr Culligan, seconded by Mr Theisen, That $10,000 be
allocated from revenue sharing to the Strand Theatre
Mrs Livesay said that on the one hand we have managed to hold things but
she is net sure we have been doing for our constituents the things we have the
responsibility to do She thinks these things ultimately cost as much if we don't
take care of the tittle problems as we go along She felt that one of the biggest
duplications since she has been on this board is the dollar chase on which we
send our voluntary agencies She said with local control goes local responsibility
A roll call resulted as follows Ayes — Representatives Culligan, Freeman,
Livesay, Miller, Ray, Theisen, Webster, Dates — 8 Noes — Representatives
Clynes, Marcham (the material given us was not complete), Mason, Robey, Sat-
terly, Tillapaugh, Watros — 7 Motion adopted.
Mr Mason said he reviewed a memo from Dr Willard Schmidt concerning
his analysis of the counseling service of the visually handicapped He feels this
service should be associated with a back-up agency where Mr Watkins would be
able to obtain more extensive exposure, and adequate administrative and clerical
assistance He offered the Health Department as that agency
It was Moved by Mr Mason, seconded by Mr Tillapaugh, That the Health
Committee be directed to review this matter and report back on December 10th
concerning the feasibility of continuing this program as a contractual service of
the Health Department Motion adopted.

PUBLIC HEARING
AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT NO. 8, TOWNS OF CAROLINE, DANBY,
DRYDEN, GROTON, AND LANSING AND THE VILLAGE OF DRYDEN
NOVEMBER 26, 1979
The Chairman called the public hearing to order at 7 30 p m
Frank Liguori, Tompkins County Commissioner of Planning, explained that
at the present time there are seven agricultural districts in Tompkins County
which have been established over a period of several years Agricultural District
No 1 which was established about seven years ago, will be up for reconsideration
in 1980 The steps taken in forming this district were designed in such a way as to
attempt to get all the viable farm lands in the county into one district It is quite
likely this may be the last district to be considered by the county The boundaries
were put together by the Agricultural Districting Advisory Committee After
considerable input from agricultural extension specialists, Gary Evans of the
Planning Department staff, and Ann Matthews, and after meeting with each of
the individual towns involved, meetings were set up throughout the county where
individual farmers could come and sign up for the district as required by law
According to the agricultural districting law, the action of this board cannot take
place until a report has been submitted in relation to the proposed agricultural
district by the County Planning Board and by the Agricultural Districting Ad-
visory Committee Those two reports have been completed and filed with mem-
bers of the Board of Representatives The public notices were sent out Since the
hearing announcement there have been at least four farmers who have petitioned
the county to add additional land to the agricultural district There has been one
individual, or one group of individuals acting together, who have asked to be
excluded from the district This board may at this time consider amendments By
adding these to, or withdrawing these from the resolution, the map will be
amended Also, based on their research, they have found approving an agricul-
tural district of this sort is also a SEQR procedure under the State SEQR law
There is a resolution on the desks which takes care of the inclusions and exclu-
sions and also provides for a SEQR declaration
The report from the Agricultural Districting Advisory Committee has favor-
able comments in relation to the proposed district Their report stresses the nn-
portance of preserving the agriculture land and goes into some detail in rela-
tion to the viability of farm lands in terms of farming The report by the County
Planning Board and Commissioner of Planning also recommends that the board
approve the district The County Planning report calls to attention that the county
at the present time is pursuing two different major goals, the preservation of
agriculture land and at the same time pursuing a goal of an improved Route 13
highway corridor The County Planning Board has recommended that the resolu-
tion recognizes and declares the intention of both of these worthy goals The
County Planning Board report also confirms the viability of the agricultural
land It confirms that the agricultural district is compatible with the development
plans of the municipalities involved, and compatible with the selected community
development plans for the county as a whole There have been provisions in the
district boundaries to exclude an area in the Town of Dryden that is currently
being studied as part of a possible sewer district The report concludes that it be
given favorable consideration to the district proposed
There were no further comments and the public hearing was closed

cerned about it being noncontiguous and also was concerned that it came in so
late It was moved by Mrs Livesay to postpone acceptance of the resolution until

seconded by Mr Watros, to lay this on the table until later in the meeting so
Mr Desch and Mr Fabbrom from the Town of Ithaca could be contacted Motion
adopted. Later in the meeting Mr Liguori said he had contacted Mr Fabbrom
and he was familiar with the property and the owner has already approached the
Town of Ithaca to request the land be used for agricultural purposes Mr Fab-
brom suggests it would be appropriate that it be included Resolution was
adopted,

WHEREAS, in addition to the pursuit of the goal of the preservation of
viable agricultural lands, the County of Tompkins is simultaneously pursuing
the goal of an improved Rt 13 corridor from the Ithaca urban area north and
east to the City of Cortland, and by necessity this corridor may have to traverse

one board member The Chairman referred this matter to the Planning and
Public Works Committee
Mr Culligan, Chairman, Health Committee, said they met last week regarding
a program for the visually impaired Rather than making this a county part-time
position at this time they recommended that the visually impaired program be

Department and Dr Schmidt for the year 1980 He also reported the committee
approved the new fee schedule for the hospital and it will be on the agenda

from the Budget and Administration Committee to look at alternatives for provi-
sions of information and referral services They met with Commissioner Wagner,

they need more time to meet with respective agencies and to look at other alterna-
tives They are going to ask the Budget and Administration Committee to con-
sider funding the Family and Children's Service for another three months of

possibly agree on a direction to pursue He clarified a question in reference to
the amount of notice that was to be given for the Multi -County Solid Waste Com-
mittee and his statement of three weeks notice seems to be the amount of notice
to be given, not one month as some thought He also reported they hope to be
able to bring to a conclusion many things they have been working on throughout
the year They will be making a recommendation on personnel at the airport and

anything to pursue
Mr Ray said the Environmental Management Council appointments will

Mr Robey, Chairman, Intergovernmental Relations Committee, said there has
been a lot of discussion about advisory committees The Intergovernmental Rela-
tions Committee works with advisory committees and other boards that this
board has set up and as a result has developed a good deal of experience He said
you can't expect an advisory committee to always agree with your conclusions
He said you have to work closely with them, work out the problems and come to
a conclusion The committee met with the Library Board to go over the last two
years of experience with a resolution setting up an autonomous mode of opera-
tion They discussed questions of maintenance — who is responsible for repairs
to the facility They still have to resolve the question of the fund balance —
whether the library should accumulate the funds, whether the funds revert back
to the county and whether they should come back to the county and whether they
should come back to our board with expenditures from a fund balance They will
continue to meet on the subject It may have to come to this board for approval
He also reported there are several vacancies on the Library Board of Trustees,
and they expect to have two nominees at the next meeting for consideration
Mr Robey also reported the committee went over the Comprehensive Youth
Plan for 1980 which is on the agenda this morning There are still some problems
with the functioning of the Youth Board One is that the town supervisors, vil-
lage mayors, and people in the city may not yet fully understand exactly what
the County Youth Board does, how much money goes into it, and what role they
have to play in it He has had good response to a letter he sent out asking for
them to check the status of their nominee or person they recommended to serve
on the board They have some additional people on as a result The committee
asked him to send out another letter suggesting that representatives on the
Youth Board should be asked by their town boards to come to town board meet-
ings periodically to report on what is happening and answer questions They
are planning next summer to review the operation of the Youth Board
Mrs Livesay commented that the problem of the mumcipahties that do the
232 December 10, 1979
appointing keeping a relationship with the person serving on the board is not
unique to the youth board area She thinks we might provide some kind of train-
ing, both for the various county boards that we have established and even for the
municipal boards through the Municipal Officers' Association
Chairman Dates said he would like anyone on the board to get in touch with
him if they are not in agreement with the Chairman sending out holiday greet-
ings to all members of advisory boards wishing them happy holidays and thank-
ing them for serving
Mr Mason, Chairman, Public Safety and Corrections Committee, said the
committee is actively soliciting nominees for the Family Court Advisory Council
They would like to take action on the appointments to that council soon after the
new year The committee will meet tomorrow at 4 00 p m with a representative
from the New York State Corrections Commission office to discuss the jailer
positions and hopefully will be making a recommendation to the Board in the
near future There is a resolution on the agenda today requesting the establish-
ment of a new assistant district attorney position on a part-time basis He asked
earlier for some justification and statistics from the District Attorney and the in-
formation was received In 1978 his office opened 379 case files (situations that
warrant establishment of a permanent record) and in the first eleven months of
1979, they opened 511 cases This position would serve the justice courts through-
out the county As an example of the activity, the Village of Cayuga Heights in
1978 issued 972 tickets, including 47 misdemeanors In the first ten months of
1979 they issued 955 tickets, including 140 misdemeanors So there is a constantly
escalating load in the justice courts as well as in the District Attorney's office
The Sheriff's Department has made 1,943 vehicle and traffic arrests through
October of 1979, and that compares to 1,522 in all of last year It was interesting
to note that the four assistant district attorneys presently operating through the
office each handle approximately 75 driving while intoxicated cases a year The
committee recommends the establishment of this position
Chairman Dates asked for an update on the procedure that is taking place
for the town supervisors regarding dogs Mr Williamson said he will be meeting
with Attorney George Patte tomorrow to try to formalize the relationship of the
town and county
Mr Watros, Chairman, Budget and Administration Committee, said they met
the County Administrator and discussed the reorganization of his office
Mr Murphy, County Administrator, spoke regarding the proposed use hear-
ing on federal revenue sharing You have to comply with certain time frames
He also said there is a resolution on the agenda which covers the reorganization
of the County Administrator's office They have endeavored to review the type of
work they will be involved with and how they could reorganize the office in con-
junction with the County Attorney's office They combined the County Administra-
tor and County Attorney secretaries into the new position which would be called
the County Administrator, County Attorney Aide The second position is the
Administrative Coordinator The other position really didn't tie in exactly with
this reorganization but they felt this was the appropriate time to try to recognize
the needs of the finance office
Mr Williamson, County Attorney, spoke regarding the visually handicapped
situation It is his opinion that they can't contract with an individual To have
this program, the individual would have to be a full or part-time employee of the
county In their normal situation where they can make contracts with professional
people, accountants, architects, etc , there are two ways to do it He could be a
full or part-time employee of the county and/or he could be an employee of one
of the many organizations we have contracts with in the human services field
Mr Culligan said Dr Schmidt feels it should be a part-time job in his de-
partment for which he could be reimbursed There was further discussion and
the Chairman referred it back to the Health Committee for a resolution at next
Monday's meeting
Mrs Livesay said she sent two memos to Mr Williamson asking for his
opinion She said her question had to do with the board's understanding of the
Code of Ethics and their operating under it as county Legislators Mr Williamson
said he will concentrate on the Code of Ethics and will report at the next meet-
December 10, 1979 233
ing He also said he doesn't have an answer yet on the other memo, and he will
contact her later

ADJOURNED MEETING
DECEMBER 17, 1979
Chairman Dates called the meeting to order at 7 30 p m
Present 14 Representatives Absent — Representative Miller (arrived 7 50
pm) -1
Members and guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance
The minutes of the November 26, 1979 meeting were approved subject to
correction by the Clerk
Under privilege of the floor, Noel Desch, Supervisor of the Town of Ithaca,
noted he had discussions with several board members following action the Town
Board took pertaining to Agricultural District No 8 The Town Board authorized
him to write a letter to Commissioner of the Department of Environmental Con-
servation to ask that the forty -acre parcel owned by Mr Hilker on Burns Road
and Coddington Road in the Town of Ithaca be excluded from that agricultural
district They have no objection to his property being included but the informa-
tion did not get to the property owners who own viable farms in the Town of
Ithaca It has become evident that there are other interests The interest may
be sufficient to bring about a contiguous addition or expansion of the agricultural
district boundaries from the Danby/Dryden line over to Mr Hilker's property
He would like to avoid writing the letter and suggested setting up a meeting to
invite the property owners who do faim in the Town of Ithaca, not only in that
area but there are also property owners who are farmers on the other side of
six -mile creek who he feels would also be interested He felt it may be more
efficient to do it that way than try to form a separate district later on
Mr Hilker thanked the Board for acting in such a short notice in his favor
He said he has talked to several neighbors There aren't many acres between them
and Agricultural District No 8 He doesn't think they would have to form another
district
Mr Liguori, County Commissioner of Planning, said it is possible to add on
to the district at this time It would take perhaps a month to package a new
proposal to add to it If the Board decides to do it, he suggested putting a time
limit on it and perhaps take final action at this meeting so it won't go on in-
definitely
Mr Ray said he feels it is essential that the County Board respond to the
property owner interested in being in the agricultural district for the purpose of
the process to not only protect the land declared agricultural viable but to
respond to the property owners who want to be in it That is how the process
works, initiated by property owners themselves He felt it was probably more
logical to include Mr Hilker and other landowners in this district rather than
form a new district
Mrs Livesay said adding to this district seems to be the best way to go but
she has obtained information that now indicates that maybe the best thing to do
would be to delete Mr Hilker's land and look at forming an agricultural district
with the Town of Ithaca, picking up any remaining land in Danby and Caroline
There seems to be no problem in coming up with 500 additional acres She said
the reason Mr Hilker and the others weren't notified was because no one in the
Town of Ithaca had petitioned for an agricultural district Mr Hilker happened to
see the notice of public hearing She felt it would be better to pull Mr Hilker
out of this district and start notifying people in the Town of Ithaca
Mr Williamson, County Attorney, said the board could rescind it and turn
it back to the committee or move to reconsider
It was Moved by Mrs Livesay, seconded by Mr Theisen, to reconsider the
resolution A lengthy discussion followed Chairman Dates ruled that the Decem-
ber 10th meeting was adjourned to today's meeting There was further discussion
A roll call was taken on the motion which resulted as follows Ayes — Representa-
tives Freeman, Livesay, Marcham, Mason, Robey, Theisen, Watros, Webster,
Clynes, Culligan, Dates — 11 Noes — Representatives Miller, Ray, Satterly,
Tillapaugh — 4 Motion to reconsider was adopted.
242 December 17, 1979
Chairman Dates referred it back to committee After further discussion, It
was Moved by Mrs Livesay, to amend Agricultural District No 8 by deletion of
Mr Hilker's property No second was received
At this time, Mr Ray introduced Mr and Mrs Grant Musser who are Keepers
of the Covered Bridge in Newfield Mrs Musser said they are honored and enjoy
being Keepers of the Covered Bridge She said they have a scrap book with pic-
tures and clippings for anyone that would like to see it
Mr Satterly, Chairman, Human Services Committee, said they met briefly
this evening to discuss the Information and Referral Service that is being done by
the Family and Children's Service They will be meeting to try to resolve that
problem They have some resolutions for the agenda regarding the Office for the
Aging. He also asked Robert Wagner to talk to the Board about the additional
investigator in the Social Services Department
Robert Wagner, Commissioner of Social Services, said last March the Board
approved a second welfare investigator assistant and hired a person last April
In comparing the April through September statistics with the six month statistics
report, they find they have had a 43 per cent increase in the number of cases
referred to the investigation unit They had a 166 per cent increase in the num-
ber of cases identified as potentially fraudulent or having a problem They have
also had a 50 per cent increase in cases prosecuted by the District Attorney The
amount of monies recovered or in the process of being recovered has increased
— court orders or voluntary payments
Mr Ray, Chairman, Planning and Public Works Committee, said they have
two resolutions pertaining to Approval of Route 13 and the Park and Ride Plan
to add to the agenda They have asked the Planning Department to work with the
Dryden School District to look at proposals offered at the public hearing regarding
the Route 13 Corridor to see if they can get some specific answers to the rea-
soning behind the original decision to keep the road away from the high school
and the village and to keep it farther north
Mr Robey, Chairman, Intergovernmental Relations Committee, said he would
like to add two resolutions to the agenda pertaining to the TC3 Audit Also, the
Board of Trustee's meeting held last Thursday produced an interesting report on
the nursing program 1) Summary of State Board results for TC3 Nursing Grad-
uates Graduates of the nursing program in June, 1979 took their State Board
exams in July The results Forty-four of our graduates took the battery of five
exams which include psychiatric, medical, surgical, pediatric and obstetric
nursing Our graduate overall have a 19% passing rate The TC3's graduate's
mean, on all five exams, is 541 That mean surpasses the mean of all Associate
Degree Programs in New York State by sixty points, all Baccalaureate Degree
Programs in New York State by sixty-four points, all Master's Degree Program?
in New York State by two points and all New York State Nursing Programs by
fifty-eight points 2) Tompkins County Hospital Thirty-six (36) LPN's have been
hired from TC3, eleven of which were hired since the new building opened in
May Twenty-six RN's have been hired from TC3, twelve of which were hired
since the new building opened last May
Mr Mason, Chairman, Public Safety and Corrections Committee, said they
met last week with representatives from the New York State Corrections office,
the County Administrator, Commissioner of Personnel, and the Sheriff and after
discussing at length the State's mandate concerning the addition of six jailers at
the jail, they asked the County Administrator, County Sheriff and the Personnel
Commissioner to review it and come in with a recommendation to the committee
He reminded everyone of the meeting Wednesday evening at 7 30 p m of the
Ithaca -Tompkins County Transportation Commission and the Tompkins County
Traffic Safety Board
Mr Watros, Chairman, Budget and Administration Committee, said they met
and discussed many items that are on the agenda today They also discussed a
policy relative to the administrator's role in the review and comment process of
hiring employees They also discussed a schedule of events to be taking place
early next year in the review and approval process of the new Tompkins County
Administrative Manual
Mrs Livesay asked if they had come to anything conclusive in the discussion
December 17, 1979 243
of the administrator's role Mr Watros said the staff is preparing a new draft
resolution for committee action
Mr Williamson, County Attorney, said at Mrs Livesay's request he looked
up some old legislative bills in years gone by and one is the Code of Ethics which
this Board adopted in December of 1970 An act of the requirements of Article
18 of the General Municipal Law deals with conflict of interest any board mem-
ber may have and sets forth specifically some items in our Code of Ethics No
member may take gifts of $25 or more, may not disclose confidential information,
or if you have an interest in certain legislation, you should disclose it In the
past, members who might have had any conflicts have filed letters with the
Clerk of the Board which indicates a potential interest in some contract There
is also a Board of Ethics, and the persons who were chosen are still in office
One could go to that Board and get an advisory opinion He also delved into
the use of stationery and envelopes The Board can't use county stationery for
their own use They can if they are delving into an issue which might affect peo-
ple in their constituency A mailing to everybody in the whole county which
might be considered a political use of the stationery would be prohibited

ANNUAL REPORT — 1979
TOMPKINS COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT
(Submitted by Willard C Schmidt, M D , Commissioner)
Increase in volume, tempo and variety of preventive, patient service, and
environmental control activities typified "the action" at the Tompkins County
Health Department during the past year Many personnel changes occurred, in-
cluding the resignation of Dr Kathleen Gaffney as Commissioner, Dr Willard
Schmidt, her successor continued the expansion of programs and training of new
staff and initiated some new activities during the last five months of 1979
Although the year's activities opened with the continuing investigation of an
uncommon but fascinating psittacosis outbreak among local veterinary laboratory
staff, communicable disease in general was minimal except for sexually trans-
mitted disease (STD) This continuing problem among the student and young
adult population was attacked by doubling clinic time during the last quarter of
the year through cooperative efforts with Planned Parenthood and Cornell and
Ithaca College Student Health Services
Immunizations increased, stimulated by the amended immunization law The
Department facilitated the required school immunization survey which showed
excellent levels of compliance in the county Special clinics were planned and
started in preschool and college student populations deficient in certain vac-
cinations More senior citizens received influenza immunization this year
Preliminary figures for 1979 indicate a significant increase in home care
visits, totalling over 800 per month This required the design and negotiation of
a new contract for Home Health Aides with Family and Children's Service adding
several thousand hours and improved scope and quality of care Rates and Aides
wages and benefits were improved and a Public Health Nurse was added to the
staff to augment preventive (34%) and disease and disability services (66%)
services
Special patient programs were amplified Childhood preventive dental health
service grew, increased emphasis was centered on education The excellent co-
operation of local dentists, helping with funds, equipment and service, educators
with space, advice and curriculum time, audio-visual specialists with assistance
in preparation of a video teaching film stimulated program development The
Worksite Hypertension Project was introduced into new and more diverse plants,
institutional staffs and businesses with even better physician -referral relation-
ships Seventy five percent of identified hypertensives achieved good blood pres-
sure control Permanent, although insufficient, staff insures continuation of this
program although postponed funding of an approved New York State Department
of Health grant restricts planned expansion Services for Physically Handicapped
Children continue to increase, and cooperation with other county agencies in
planning management and financial responsibility has been effectively developed
An application to begin a WIC Nutritional Pioject has been submitted but not
funded Counseling services for people with visual deficiencies are now offered
by the Health Department through a trained part-time staff member He is blind
and therefore knowledgeable and sympathetic to his clients Employment of

handicapped people in the healthcare field is uncommon and useful for provider
and consumer
The Environmental Health division assumed increased and new responsi-
bilities An extensive survey of the sewage system in the Dryden-Freeville area
was conducted "Spills" from Cornell University buildings initiated an extensive
waste drainage system survey there A plan of operation for monitoring other
chemical discharge accidents in the County was implemented A systematic
bacteriological, chemical and radiological contaminant analysis of about 60 com-
munity water systems was undertaken Responsibility for surveillance of hazardous
waste disposal sites was begun and a registry compiled The system for monitoring
and regulation of food service establishments was redesigned and a program and
designation of a sanitarian for investigation of food borne disease outbreaks was
established In cooperation with the Cornell University Department of Food
Service, an annual Food Sanitation Workshop was planned and initiated The first
session in January 1980 was very informative and popular A bat "invasion" in
Ithaca in August was investigated, no rabies was found This provided impetus
for the fall rabies immunization clinic for dogs which again provided more pro-
tection for "man's best friend "
It was a productive and busy year

the year The Jail Program Committees, OAR, Friends of the Library, Quakers
and others supplied these hours of volunteer time I am most appreciative of their
help
Excellent cooperation from all area police was more noticeable than ever in
1979 This was partially due to monthly meetings of the Tompkins County Law

Volunteer Fire Companies and the fire police were most helpful to our de-
partment in fire and accident investigations
I would like to thank the Board of Representatives for their help and co-
operation during 1979

cipating banks and can be redeemed for food 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

sistance receive funds

TOMPKINS CORTLAND COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Hushang Bahar, President
1979 was a busy year at TC3 The January Wintersession hit an all time high
in enrollment, with more than 230 people taking both credit and non-credit
courses in the three-week session The College started using five off -campus sites
in January for its Spring term, including the Enfield Fire Hall, GIAC, and
NYSEG Although the weather was colder and electricity rates were higher, the
electric bills for the fall of 1978 were actually lower than the year before The
Board of Trustees heard in January that the College had paid six thousand dol-
lars less for electricity, thanks to a device called an energy shedder This is just
one of many energy-saving efforts at the College Also in January, Project OPEN
held a workshop on math anxiety, the fear many people, especially women, have
of math -related fields Project OPEN seeks to encourage women in non-traditional
fields
In February, TC3 hosted U S State Department official Robert Flaten for a
town meeting The TC3 Nursing Piogram was given the longest possible accredita-
tion by the National League of Nursing Eight years TC3 and SUC Fredonia
agreed to a program allowing TC3 grads to move into the Radio -TV course there
Registration for Spring term courses was strong, with 1,635 full-time equivalent
students in courses TC3 trustees approved two new programs Travel and
Tourism, and Electrical Technology The first of a series of energy workshops
brought small -businessmen to TC3 for suggestions about how to save on energy
bills

SUMMARY
COOPERATIVE EXTENSION ASSOCIATION
REPORT FOR 1978-79 PROGRAM YEAR
Ann C Mathews, Cooperative Extension Agent
(Detailed report on file with the Clerk of Board)
The mission of New York Cooperative Extension is to extend knowledge and
research -based information from Cornell, the land-grant university, to farm, rural
non-farm and urban citizens across New York State A partnership among federal,
state, and local governments provides an organized delivery system utilizing
state, regional and county staff to "serve the people", a mandate expressed in the
Smith -Lever Act of 1914 Needs for assistance are not restricted by occupation,
place of residence, age, race or sex Within the limits of its resources, Coopera-
tive Extension is committed to conducting the problem -solving, people, orientated
educational programs that are beneficial to the residents of New York State
The four program areas of the Cooperative Extension Association of Tomp-
kins County include Agriculture, Home Economics, 4-H and Foods and Nutrition
These program areas serve a wide and diverse audience There are some problems
that are quite specific to certain audiences while other problems may concern
several of our audiences The Program Committees and the Board of Directors'
have identified five program priorities which Cooperative Extension has the
capability and resources that are of concern to these audiences The five program
priority areas are as follows Food Production and Consumption, Leadership
Development, Family Development, Energy, Consumer Competency
Financial Support 28 7% of the association support is from state sources,
including Cornell Fringe benefits for Extension employees amounting to 30% of
the total payroll is financed by state funds Recently the state legislature ap-
proved an increase in appropriated support to associations, an indication of their
belief in extension work Cornell also provides many resources in support of our
County Association 22.7% Federal. Ongoing federal support comes to associations
under the Smith -Lever Act of 1914 Also, the Expanded Food and Nutrition Edu-
cation Program is federally funded Other federal funds are utilized in more
fringe benefits for staff, university resources and the penalty privilege allowing
us to mail information to residents at a reasonable cost 40.2% County. The
County Board of Representatives provides the largest share of the support for
Cooperative Extension programs This is significant as it enables local county resi-
dents to identify and receive educational programs most appropriate to their
immediate needs in Tompkins County 8 4% Local. Local dollars are derived from
enrollment fees, charge classes, sale of publications and teaching materials, in-
come from the use of extension facilities, contributions from individuals and from
local businesses and other miscellaneous income This is important as county and
local dollars together account for 48 6% of Extension's budget income which
strengthens the local influence over programs

ANNUAL REPORT — 1979
OFFICE FOR THE AGING
(Submitted by Margaret Harding, Director)
The Tompkins County Charter makes the Office for the Aging (COFA)
responsible for identifying and planning services needed by the elderly in the
county The charter fists a variety of planning activities, including research into
the needs of the aging, acting as liaison between agencies providing services,
stimulating the development of services, helping to obtain outside funding, and
contracting for services to be provided COFA itself is to undertake specific pro-
grams or services "when and if indicated " This designation makes COFA the
"area agency on aging",in the terminology of the federal Older Americans Act,
and makes the county eigible for federal funds under this legislation
Within the broad guidelines set by the County Charter and the Older Ameri-
cans Act, the COFA has to submit an area plan each year as part of its applica-
tion for federal funds The 1979 plan listed eleven objectives, beginning with,
"Survey the service needs and interests of persons 60+ in three representative
parts of the county as a basis for future program development and allocation of
resources " In accordance with this objective, surveys, jointly sponsored by
COFA and the Senior Citizens Council were carried out in two of the three areas
Technical help with preparation and data analysis was provided by the Human
Services Coalition
Other objectives stated COFA's intention to give direct one-to-one help to
older individuals and their families in obtaining information and access to bene-
fits, to encourage the growth of services that enable the very frail elderly to
remain at home, and to encourage other organizations to give more sustained
help to parts of the vulnerable aging population not now served
COFA's ability to give one-to-one in-home consultation and service has been
sharply limited by the loss in August of the outreach position funded by CETA
for the previous four years What remains of this service is now assigned to the
Aging Services Specialist along with her usual duties and currently means only
ten to twelve home visits per month
Assistance to people who telephoned or came to the office continued all
year, and ranged from helping many people apply for the new state -funded
"circuit breaker" tax credit to explaining the options open to a family facing the
need for care for a previously independent vigorous older member All members
of the staff helped with tax forms, while the Aging Services Specialist and Direc-
tor both helped with the more complicated problems
Outreach and Information and Referral are mandated services COFA must
provide one way or another Phone calls and walk-in requests for specialized in-
formation or help with making use of benefit programs or other resources
averaged 190 per month, (estimate based on partial records) More extensive, but
still short term minor services were recorded for 50 per month In 1979 a special
effort was made to find another agency able to take longer-term responsibility
for helping people needing more sustained help This was often the Adult
Service Unit at the Department of Social Services or EOC outreach The COFA
caseload (long-term services) arranged fifteen (15) per month By the end of the
year all of these had been referred or closed
The Volunteer Friendly Visitor Program continued throughout the year with
twenty-five to thirty or more pairs of visitors and visitees in operation each
month Volunteers usually make weekly visits, keep in touch with the program
coordinator, and call the office if more help is needed At year end we are look-
ing for a replacement for the volunteer coordinator who has served for the past
four years
Another objective, to "serve as a focal point for the exchange of information
among agencies providing direct service to the aging," has been carried out by
holding regular meetings of the Aging Services Coalition and making our
Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 265
reference files available to others In addition training for agency staff was
offered through two courses in "Aging" and "Working with the Mentally Im-
paired Elderly," paid for by Title IV -A funds and taught locally by an instructor
from Cayuga Community College Enrollment was sixteen to twenty in each
course We also arranged for training people from other agencies in preparing
circuit breaker and 50% tax exemption applications
Still another objective was to "Improve the use of local communications
systems by and on behalf of the aging population " We continued to pay for
publication and distribution of the Senior Circle which reaches 7000 households
bi-monthly, and to prepare at least one page of text for each issue We were
represented on a media committee organized to broaden the appeal of the Circle.
Under this objective COFA has been sponsoring a small intergenerational
group of seniors and high school students who prepare video tape programs for
"Senior Edition", on Channel 13 The purpose is to improve the image of the
elderly by showing some of the activities and interests of elders
Work towards consolidation of the Nutrition Program with COFA, (another
objective) was succesful The result was a smooth transition in January 1980 to
county sponsorship of the program The county now subcontracts with the Salva-
tion Army to operate both congregate and home delivered meals programs, with
the Economic Opportunity Corporation (EOC) to provide outreach services, and
with the Senior Citizens Council to provide some educational and recreational
programming at the congregate meal sites
There was no progress in 1979 toward starting a nursing home ombudsman
program and little toward a county wide disaster plan except a report and
recommendation on provision for the aging in event of disaster prepared by a
joint agency staff committee and turned over to the county disaster coordinator
On the other hand, we were successful in helping the Senior Citizens Council
obtain funding for the new furnace and other building improvements
A major block of time in the fall went into preparation of a new plan, as
required by the New York State Community Services for the Elderly Act of
1979 This process included conferences with most of the agencies providing
services to the aging and laid the ground work for closer working relationships
The highest priority, unmet service needs, which were identified in this process,
were incorporated in the plans and applications submitted for 1980 funding
Our major publication in 1979 was a revision of our basic Directory of Ser-
vices and Opportunities for Older People in Tompkins County It is available upon
request to senior citizens, their families, and agencies
Other objectives were carried out through subcontracting with other organi-
zations to provide services One such contract was for a home -repair program
operated by the EOC in conjunction with their weatherization and other home
improvement efforts Another gave partial support to the adult day care program
at Ithacare, especially for those people whom this program enabled to remain
with their families
COFA is the sponsor and EOC the subcontractor for the Older Americans
Act Title V Senior Community Services Employment Program, which provides
subsidized employment for several people 55 and older
COFA staff consisted of the Director, the Aging Services Specialist and one
steno, as it has since the office opened in 1975 For the first time since mid -1975
we had no CETA staff from the County or the EOC We have been dependent
upon work-study students from Cornell and volunteers of all ages to carry on
both routine work and special projects We are deeply grateful for this help, but
believe it should be on record that the present workload is maintained only with
this help and many hours of overtime by the Director Students and volunteers
make an important contribution through their enthusiasm and ability to respond
quickly and work independently However, there is turnover and therefore con-
stant need for training that offsets some of the benefit to the agency
With widespread increasing awareness of the growth in the aging population,
significant new legislation has been passed by both State and Federal govern-
ments, usually with local implications In addition, many proposals for services
266 Tompkins County, New York
are being made The importance of closer examination of needs, of setting priori-
ties, and of coordination of effort will grow as the proposals multiply COFA is
intended to be a coordination body as well as planner and provider of services
and hopes to carry out that role in the future.

1980 Work Plan
During the 1980 program year, the Youth Bureau will accomplish the fol-
lowingobjectives
OBJECTIVE I To devote additional staff resources to monitoring and
evaluating contract agency programs through site visits,
reports, and assisting agencies to develop internal monitor-
ing and evaluating procedures,
OBJECTIVE II To assist the Comprehensive Planning Committee in re-
vising annual planning timetables, working more closely
with the Youth Board, and reviewing progress made towards
1980 Plan goals and objectives,
OBJECTIVE III To actively promote joint planning efforts across human
service areas to develop truly comprehensive planning,
OBJECTIVE IV To devote increased staff resources to research youth needs
through surveys, etc ,
OBJECTIVE V To advocate for legislative review of Youth Bureau and
Youth Board performance,
OBJECTIVE VI To provide a continual forum for inter -agency and inter-
municipal coordination of youth programs through con-
ferences, meetings, presentations, reports, and technical
assistance functions
These objectives are consistent with the goals and objectives of the 1980
Comprehensive Youth Services Plan for Tompkins County.
Summary
The major accomplishments for 1979 are both technical and programmatic
in nature The final acceptance by the State of New York of the 1979 Compre-
hensive Youth Services Plan signalled the end of a technical process begun by
the County in 1975 As a result of this process, the County was able to continue
maximum use of Division for Youth State Aid in funding 18 youth programs
during 1979
There are, however, deficiencies in the youth services system which still
must be overcome In the next year, the Youth Bureau must respond to the 1980
Comprehensive Plan objectives by focusing increased attention on improving pro-
gram monitoring and evaluation, documenting local youth needs, and improving
county record keeping systems It is also vital that the Youth Bureau and Youth
Board be evaluated to ensure that program administration is as effective as pos-
sible When these items are accomplished, we will be able to document what
further steps must be taken to improve the delivery of services for all youth
in Tompkins County

ANNUAL REPORT 1978
TOMPKINS COUNTY LIBRARY
(Submitted by Lajos Mezgar, Director)
(Detailed report on file with Clerk of Board)
Circulation of library materials increased by 9,864 items, while the number
of reference questions decreased by 1,168 during 1979 The most significant in-
crease occurred in the circulation of audio visual materials from 30,710 to 37,383
items
In connection with the state funded dataconversion project, we inventoried
50% of the adult non-fiction collection during the past year, and we will finish
the inventory in 1980
During 1979 we continued to work at making our services more responsive
and efficient to our public These services included the lending of A V equip-
ment, the acceptance of donations, and the cooperation between the library and
other agencies
Over the past two years the library has undergone many major changes Our
staff has worked hard to make these changes happen as smoothly as possible A
responsive hbrary must have a responsive staff that is willing to accept and
facilitate changes and a staff that is truly interested in serving the community
Sound policies and procedures as well as the benefits of modern technology do
much to help make a good library But without a concerned staff, even the best
organized and equipped library will join the ever increasing number of seemingly
perfect but non-responsive institutions
I am proud to report that our staff has consistently risen to the occasion
and is indeed concerned about the library and its place in the community I hope
that we will be able to preserve this atmosphere of cooperation and enthusiasm
in the coming years
The Friends of the Library as usual helped us again with 2,000 volunteer
hours and grants for our programming, publicity and special outreach services
Special thanks go to the Tompkins County Board of Representatives for their
interest in the library and their efficient handling of library matters
Last, but not least, I would like to thank the Library Board of Trustees for
their hard work and guidance during 1979
