by County taxpayers, that are used to lobby for legislation

pointing out not only the impact in the counties but on people in towns and municipalities who are
going to be hurt He asked if Mr Gaines could draft a resolution immediately that the board might
consider passing

looking at alternatives as to how funding is to come forth should there be a jail bond issue on the ballot,
etc
Mrs Livesay reported that she and Mr Webster attended a workshop at Cornell University last
week on "Alternatives to Pnson " She said she would rather see them do whatever they can to keep
particularly young people out of jail rather than building more and more jail space She would like to
see what the community can do so young people don't create problems that end them in jail She also
reported on the housing and energy situation She is continuing to attend meetings and hopefully will
have a recommendation within the next month

workshop held at Cornell Nancy Zane who was at one time Director of the Offender Aid and
Restoration Program, is now training coordinator for a pnson research education project housed at
Cornell and funded through the NYS Council of Churches The workshop held last week was directed
toward a development of tools to assist communities dealing with just the type of problems we have
with our own institution here and perhaps developing appropriate alternatives to incarceration He
asked Nancy Zane to meet with the Committee and perhaps have a presentation to see what is
happening in the field and what possible implications it may have in our county
Mr John Murphy, County Administrator, reported that Resolution No 363 which the Board
passed in December authorizing the County Administrator to make year—end transfers, adjustments
and appropriations and as required he will have a listing of all departments on file with the clerk
Mr Murphy reported relative to Sales Tax During their meeting in Albany on March 3 and 4,
representatives of the city, towns and county met with representatives of the State to discuss what
problems they have, the procedures they go through to get sales tax figures out to them, the reasons for
adjustments in the past, etc Another item he mentioned was in the report they heard on County Day in
dealing with the state's problem They are saying they have to find a way to reduce their expenditures
by either capping or percentage reduction The whole objective is to reduce the amount of dollars they
are going to be passing out to municipalities and school distncts
Mr Marcham noted in reading the minutes, it seems to suggest they never did designate a
newspaper under County Law, Section 214 (1) County Attorney Williamson said the Clerk took the
designation of both parties under Section 1, noted it in her records and filed it with the Secretary of
State as Section 1 requires He said if Mr Marcham wants the minutes modified to show that both
parties have designated their newspaper under Section 1, there is no problem Under Section 2, he
requested an opinion from the Attorney General as to whether or not the Board can designate only one
newspaper
Chairman Dates said he hopes, out of the Budget and Administration Committee, this problem
can be solved
Mr Ray said the Ithaca Journal raised a question at a Planmng and Public Works Committee
meeting as to a potential conflict between our board rules relating to appointments of members of
advisory boards and the Freedom of Information Law He asked County Attorney Williamson to
research the Freedom of Information Law and the Board Rules to see whether there is a contest It
appears it is the opinion of the Journal that the executive sessions minutes must be kept, votes kept and
that record must be made available one week after the executive session If that is the case, the rules
must be adjusted for appointments Chairman Dates asked the County Attorney to do that by the next
Board meeting
Chairman Dates said everyone attended their meetings in Albany and have brought back
reports He set up a meeting tomorrow at 1 30 p m at the County Planning office for the Biggs
Complex Usage Committee

number
Mr Marcham said the committee started out with a large list of municipal representatives They
had a long list of categories to balance He thought the committee was working in a fair-minded way
attempting to find the best people as they could to fill as many slots as they could There was also an
effort on how well certain people worked m groups He favored small groups — preferred twelve, and
the thirteenth was the chairman
Mr Theisen said having worked as a liaison to EMC, he found the three people to be dedicated
and hardworking
Mr Robey said he supports each of these people and other candidates brought up He said
whenever a board member has a specific candidate in mind, especially for an open-ended committee,

TOMPKINS COUNTY AIRPORT
The Chairman opened the public hearing No one wished to speak and the Chairman closed the

Under privilege of the floor, Carolyn Peterson presented the Board with a petition urging the
Board to enact legislation with the force of law expressly forbidding the transportation of high level
nuclear waste, including nuclear spent fuel rods, through this county and to forbid the storage of such
high level waste within county borders
Mr Chris Buscher, Coordinator of the Human Services Coalition, said the Human Services
Coalition and the County Department of Planning are co -sponsoring an all day grantsmanship
proposal wnting information workshop on Tuesday, April 1 at Cooperative Extension It is being
presented by the Southern Tier East Regional Planning and Development Board staff
Mr Marcham spoke regarding the gypsy moth resolution on tonight's agenda The gypsy moth
afflicts trees, mostly oak There has been an infestation in New England that is spreading west and that
is the reason for the program There has been an aenal spraying program and it has now been geared
down to a ground spraying program The Environmental Management Council has been studying this
for three years The results are in a report which was approved by the Council and sent to the Planning
and Public Works Committee, but has not been through committee The matter is coming to the Board
for a recommendation to request the USDA not to spray even on the ground and instead inspect
vehicles that might bring the larva in There are three gentlemen from the United States Department of
Agnculture here this evening — Stanley McNally, Regional Gypsy Moth Coordinator from
Pluladelphia, Richard Gaines, officer in charge regionally on this program, and Thomas Flanagan
who is responsible for the area
Mr McNally spoke supporting the federal gypsy moth program Their program has been to try to
retard the spread of gypsy moths Their primary emphasis is on logs and other types of timber that are
moved interstate Their second primary emphasis is on the vehicular movement — principally
recreational vehicles and mobile homes Nursery stock and plants will also continue under the
regulation They have included firewood for the first time In New York State the high nsk areas are in
the eastem part of the state with a couple of exceptions He believes somewhere in this area there is a
proportion of high nsk within Tompkins County With the recreational vehicle problem, the only way
36 March 24, 1980
they can possibly clean up the potential movement by recreational vehicles is to keep the area clean of
infestation Inspection has not been satisfactory because of the structure of the vehicle It is impossible
to visually inspect them throughout
Mr Games said the actual spray application would take place with a mechanical mist blower It
is a low pressure unit No air applications are planned He said the areas they planned to spray were
two state parks, Taughannock Falls and Robert Treman, and Willow Wood and Spruce Row
campgrounds
Mr Richard Fischer, Environmental Management Council, said they have been concerned with
controlling the environment of Tompkins County and are concerned that pesticides are being sprayed
on the landscape He is opposed to controlling gypsy moths by poisoning the environment There are
better ways of controlling the gypsy moth They involve an integrated test management strategy rather
than poisoning the landscape
Mr Paul Finger, Environmental Management Council, said the problem started in the Boston
area and has now spread throughout the entire northeast Tompkins County probably will be affected
by this It is a little late to try to stop the spread They have to try to regulate the gypsy moth within the
environment They are trying to prevent the balance that they have from being destroyed by the use of
pure chemical insecticides
Mr Mark Carver from Trumansburg said the chemical Sevin is very deadly to honeybees
Mr Tillapaugh said he has consulted with two people who are well trained and educated in this
area He was surprised that the Environmental Management Council has not consulted these people
They both said we are not in a real danger high risk area, but they could come in They have been
watching it closely They are concerned about control of moths m campground areas with the transport
from there to other areas One of them strongly advocates spraying the campground area plus small
periphery around the campground area so it does not take it back to the camping areas In terms of
spraying, they both said they didn't feel there was too much danger in spraying in terms of killing other
wildlife in the area He thinks if you defoliate the trees and there is not protection there, the wildlife will
move out You might kill some wildlife by spraying but you probably would lose more by not spraying
Mr Culligan, Chairman, Health Committee said they have four resolutions on the agenda
There is one resolution for authorization to execute addendum agreement — S & M Company for
janitorial service The committee will meet Apnl 16th at 4 30 p m They will discuss whether this
board would like to see the Tompkins County Mental Health Board increased from twelve to fifteen
members
Mr Satterly, Chairman, Human Services Committee, said they met and discussed the
Information and Referral update and are moving along rapidly Commissioner Wagner will have a
report soon They discussed the employment unit established in the Social Services Department
Tonight they will be asking for additional monies to continue the lease for another mne months Also
underway are the guidelines for the Coalition review, and they will report back at a later date
Mr Wagner, Commissioner of Social Services, said about two weeks ago there was a news
release from the State office of Welfare Inspector General which reported on a study they did trying to
identify relative costs based on cases and administrative costs throughout eleven different counties in
the State There has been criticism of the study as to methodology and professionalism of the items
they actually reviewed which will probably be resolved at some later point Nassau County was the
high county at a cost of $789 per case, the administrative cost to run that case for a year The low
county was Erie County, $291 The average of the eleven county survey was $502 per case per year
Tompkins County came out $353 per case The report may have its faults as sure statistics go It will
probably get the State Department of Social Services to come up with a better way to rate counties as
to their effectiveness
Mr Ray, Chairman, Planning and Public Works Committee, said their next meeting will be held
April 18th at noon There will also be a joint meeting Apnl 22 with the Public Safety Committee to
discuss possible additional space for the Motor Vehicle Office

for their information The Board of Trustees met last week President Bahar announced they were
going to set up a long—range planning committee Chairman Dates, Mr Robey, representatives from
Cortland County and Tompkins Cortland Community College will meet and discuss what kind of
committee it should be and its objectives They had an extensive report on energy including visuals
done by the Vanscan system The firm was in Washington the night of the State of the Union message
taking mfrared shots of the capitol building and the White House The next day they came to
Tompkins County to TC3 That system was wntten up in Life magazine He thinks they should get the
energy people here to show them what the college is doing
Mr Ray said he received the annual report of the Library It appears last summer they had a
March 24, 1980 37
temporary employee indexing the minutes of Common Council, City Planning Board and Public
Works Department He questioned whether it is a function of the Library It seems it is a necessary
service but he is not sure it should be done by the Library He would like the committee to look into it
Mr Robey said he would convey the question to the Library, but he is not sure it is something this
board should directly determine
Mr Murphy, County Administrator, reported that at the Budget and Administration Committee
meeting there were two specific items of interest They are distnbuting to the Board tonight the
proposed rules and regulations of Tompkins County regarding public access to records for review and
comments The other item is relative to the County Attorney's memo regarding reimbursement for
meals for elected officials and county employees
Mr Williamson, County Attorney, reported the Appellate Division affirmed Judge Bryant in
disallowing the exemption requested by Pyramid There is still pending the case by Pyramid on high
valuation He also said he has distnbuted the memorandum on reimbursement for meals
Mr Mason, Chairman, Public Safety and Corrections Committee, called their attention to a
resolution on the agenda asking for endorsement of a grant application for Emergency Medical
Services Program 1204 They are now operating under the 1203 aspects of the grant Part of the grant
application's next step requires or asks that we endorse their application They have recently received
allocation of federal money tor the emergency communication system and bio–telemetry system
for theThospital and ambulances There is also an on–going program within the county incorporating
training for ambulance personnel, hospital staff, emergency room physicians and nurses, the
dispatchers who operate the fire control and ambulance dispatching operation The next step will
enable us to continue an on–going training program He strongly endorses the application for the next
step in this grant
Mr Mason also reported the Sheriff's Department will be soliciting bids for patrol cars for the
coming year for five marked vehicles and two unmarked In the past they have always bid the heavy
duty police special type vehicle The committee has indicated a desire to open the bidding procedure
up into three different classifications of vehicles They will again bid the usual heavy duty police
special but they will also bid the intermediate size vehicle and also bid subcompact or Volkswagen
type vehicle Once the bids come in they will review with the Shenff the vanous aspects of each
individual vehicle There is tremendous concern about the gasoline they are using in the Sheriffs
Department Each vehicle is operated in excess of 100,000 miles a year

Under privilege of the floor, Mr Tom Gell, Assistant Regional Manager of the Finger Lakes
Parks Commission, said the office of Parks and Recreation would like to continue to cooperate with
the Department of Agnculture to control the spread of gypsy moths
Mrs Caroline Bingham, Hines Road, Newfield, said in 1978 there was an aerial spraying of
gypsy moth Shortly after the spraying some of her chickens died and she took them for autopsies and
no chicken disease was found A few weeks later her chickens became logy That summer there were
no eggs and no chicks raised except two — one rooster and one deformed hen In 1979 they raised no
chicks She is not in favor of spraying
54 April 28, 1980
Dick Watson, employed by the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets as a
horticultural inspector, said he has been asked by the Department to endorse the proposed USDA
spraying program for gypsy moth They believe the limited spraying proposed by USDA is needed to
help reduce the spread of the gypsy moth The use of Sevin combined with ground application is one of
the safest methods of control
Mark Carver of Trumansburg said he has been present at other discussions of the gypsy moth
He is opposed to the spraying
Mr Satterly read the following statement to the Board "At our last Budget and Administration
meeting I expressed my concerns regarding the revaluation that is now being done in Tompkins
county I would like to read those concerns so they can be recorded as such First of all, I have no
qualms about the ability of our Assessment Department I believe it is, most likely, the best in New
York State We can be proud of their accomplishments 1 We need to know what additional benefits
Tompkins County residents are receiving over the counties that have not complied with the State
mandate I believe a majonty of the counties have not even begun to comply with this law 2 What
effect is revaluation having in relation to the State School Aid9 3 How could we encourage the
municipalities to issue additional information so the taxpayer can better understand the amount of tax
levy equated to assessed valuation9 I am convinced that larger tax bases are creating larger budgets
4 There are many questions to be answered I hope this Board will consider putting a moratorium on
the Revaluation until many of these areas can be studied I believe that every two years is too often to
have a revaluation The trauma that taxpayers face every two years is more than they should have to
endure It appears from expenence that the burden is falling on residential taxpayers, not commercial
or industnal I, personally, want to go on record as opposing the revaluation being done every two
years Just this past week the State Assembly and Senate passed a bill, which was signed by the
Governor freezing agricultural lands at 1979 values for one year In conclusion, Tompkins County is a
leader in many ways for New York State We are the first to implement many programs Let's, also, be
willing to take another look""
Mrs Livesay said she attended the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Supervisors' and
County Legislators' Association last Thursday She urged Board members to participate in their

longstanding housing relocation of CETA staff, and he thought there was an agreement that they
would be using the Boardman House for them He said there are four or five CETA employees
coming on board soon and they need space
Chairman Dates said there is a draft ready to go out this week on that question Mr Ray said
there was no indication in the resolution that space would be available this summer He said they are
responsive to the request of the Personnel Commissioner in relation to space requirements and they
have had the Planning staff studying possible locations He said the resolution stated Boardman
House would be stripped and the architect would evaluate and make an estimate of the cost That is
where' they are right now

Mr Mason, Chairman, Public Safety and Corrections Committee, reported the committee met

Mr Watros, Chairman, Budget and Administration Committee, reported they met last week and
passed a resolution that is on the agenda today regarding bus funding They also discussed access to
public records and appointment procedures He said he would like to have board discussion of the
appointment procedure this evening He said the committee has discussed it at length but they still
have not reached a general consensus as to the best method of making public appointments The issues
center around privacy and not making appointments known prior to board action and he would like to
get some opinions on the subject this evening
Mr Watros also brought to the Board's attention the memo by Thomas Payne, Director of
Assessment, relative to land value assessments and recent legislation and particularly pointed to the
sentence that all farmers, whether or not in an agricultural distnct, must make annual application on or
before May 1 if they are to receive any benefits
Mr Watros also responded to Mr Satterly's remarks regarding reassessment The reassessment
moratorium is difficult to consider at this point in that it might be desirable on the part of the people
who received increases this year, but people that received decreases would be in a position to sue for
what they consider their fair and equitable assessment To say they are going to declare the current
assessment null and void and maintain 1978 assessment, he believes is very much impossible He
shares the concerns of those who feel the increased tax base will result in increased tax levies He feels
the public must be well informed that the reassessment process does not necessarily increase one's
taxes — it is merely a system of equitably distributing the tax load As vanous budgets are adopted we
must try to encourage the public to report their concerns, particularly when the county puts together its
budget He would like them to take the existing tax levy and work with that He said while he
sympathizes with concerns expressed, he can't support a moratonum at this time

the filing of complaints with the State Division of Human Rights, and vanous powers of the Division to
alleviate such discrimination when it is found to have occurred, and
WHEREAS, there has developed in the State Division of Human Rights an increasing backlog
of complaints filed and an increasing delay before any investigation of said complaints takes place, and
WHEREAS, said delays are damaging to complainants in that any loss due to discrimination is
prolonged, and to respondents in that awards that may be made to complainants may be greater as the
result of delays, and to both complainants and respondents in that witnesses' memories may fade and
witnesses may become difficult to locate, and
WHEREAS, said delays may be even longer in areas such as Tompkins County which are not
located in proximity to regional offices of the State Division of Human Rights, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Human Services Committee, That the Tompkins
County Board of Representatives urges the State Division of Human Rights and/or the New York
State Legislature and the Governor of the State of New York either To amend the complaint
processing procedure of the State Division of Human Rights so that complaints may receive some
form of investigation without undue delay, or to provide sufficient staff to the State Division of Human
Rights to permit the processing of complaints in a more expeditious manner and to bnng complaint
delays down to a reasonable point, or to provide funding and training to local Human Rights staff to
permit them to perform State investigations on referral from the State Division of Human Rights, or
some appropriate combination of the above that will deal with this senous and growing problem

demonstrate that they have sufficient interest in ndership to support one They are also planning on,

transportation The Transportation Commission has asked each municipality that forms the
Commission to give authonty on an interim ad hoc basis to manage the rural program for a two— to
three—year demonstration period In two months they will be able to give a complete report

The minutes of the May 12, 1980 meeting were approved
Under privilege of the floor, Mary Jane Noble, Tompkins County Taxpayers, stated people are
worried and frustrated over the ever—Increasing burden of taxes, and in particular the property tax She
said 60% of the property in our community is tax exempt That leaves only 40% for taxation As a
result, the burden falls on the residential property Many people are being taxed beyond their ability to
pay She said a moratorium on the regular two—year revaluation should be declared She said it is time
everybody at the local, state and federal levels of government started showing more concern for the
taxpayers' budget
Mark Carver, Village of Trumansburg, spoke about the nuclear waste transport, and he hopes
this proposed resolution will be defeated
Stephen Whitney, representative of the Citizen's/Labor Energy Coalition, said with the sole
exceptions of medical purposes, military and national defense purposes, and educational research
purposes, they support the proh,biting of transportation and/or storage of high—level radioactive
materials into, or through, or storage within Tompkins County in order to protect the safety and
livelihood of the residents of, and visitors to, the County of Tompkins They urged the Board to vote no
on the resolution
Sylvia Wahl spoke in support of the proposed resolutions for the Office for the Aging She said
both the resolutions will allow them to implement programs that not only benefit the individuals but
which have proven to be cost effective in terms of tax dollars
Paul Komar commented on the transportation of nuclear waste He said he is surpnsed at the
amount of time spent on an issue that is not an exclusively local issue, but a national issue He said if it
was not being addressed in a national forum, he could understand our involvement, but it is being
addressed by the federal Department of Transportation He said it is his own opinion, based on
observations, that it is another attempt by groups that have an anti—nuclear bias to try to create more
fear in the public He suggested to the Board that due to current actions of the U S Department of
Transportation in holding heanngs, receiving local input and finalizing rules on the transportation of
radioactive materials that 1) recognize that there is a forum that the county can become involved in, 2)
that this is the proper forum to address this issue on a national rather than a local level, and 3) become
involved with the heanngs He suggested if the final decision is to pass this resolution, that the Board
adopt a recommendation from the EMC that this resolution will terminate when the federal rules are
adopted
Murray Sutton spoke about the transportation of radioactive waste in Tompkins County and said
he hopes that the questions will be addressed of what possible emergency plan, in case of accident,
there could be short of permanent abandonment of any contaminated area and evacuation over
whatever roads may be left and what benefits citizens of Tompkins County derive from the transport
which does not originate in the county and why they should put up with the risk
Fred Wilcox, Village of Trumansburg, urged the Board to not accept the proposed resolution
regarding the transportation of high level radioactive wastes through Tompkins County, but to pass a
ban which includes a substantial fine or jail term for any individual attempting to truck this kind of
toxic matenal through the county
Don Enichen said he served on the committee that worked on this resolution before the Board
tonight and said he wished to clarify that he took notes and had the material typed up but he offered no
more than any other committee member He said he finds the resolution unsatisfactory but voted for it
because he felt it was better than nothing He said it was the intent of the committee that any resolution
would be followed up by laws to give it full force He suggested that the Board take advantage of the
additional month of June in which to submit comments to the Department of Transportation heanng
process
Dooley Kiefer, Town of Ithaca, said she feels the resolution is a start She said perhaps the Board
could designate someone or some group of citizens to work with the Board to develop a more detailed
statement to go to the Federal Department of Transportation in New York City on June 13 She also
suggested perhaps an additional whereas in the resolution stating that Tompkins County has particular
road conditions that make it less safe for hazardous materials transport She hopes the Board will
consider the wishes of the local residents
70 May 27, 1980
Carolyn Peterson, City of Ithaca, said it is her opinion that the best thing would be to completely
prohibit shipments through Tompkins County because of the local road conditions She believes they
are not benefiting the country or ourselves by allowing shipments here

Services Department, Human Rights Commission and Extension Service were three that were being

Under privilege of the floor, Mrs Livesay made the following statement
"Mr Chairman, fellow Board members, members of the pre J and guests — I feel obliged today
to continue the discussion of salary levels that was generated at the last meeting by a proposal to
increase the salary for the undershenff
A recent Ithaca Journal editonal blamed mysterious limitations on civil service salanes for the
hospital's decision to contract with some physicians, rather than to employ them We all know there
are no such limitations and that in fact the power to set labor grades and salanes within county
government is held solely by this Board There are many good reasons why it has become desirable to
contract with physicians but civil service restnctions are not among them
This whole issue of setting appropnate salary levels in a timely fashion has been at the root of
unrest, disharmony, confusion, and friction within county government for years and has been the main
impetus behind moves for more autonomy or complete independence from county government for the
library and the hospital There is nothing in the system itself that keeps us from talungprompt action as
we have done on a few occasions, and yet in most instances such requests get lost in the bureaucracy
leading observers to believe that the inflexibility is inherent in the civil service system However, all of
the power and all of the responsibility lies strictly with this Board and it is a responsibility that we must
take
As I am sure you recall, I have expressed my concern about the imbalance in our salary schedule
many times in the past and have been assured each time that we have adopted a contract that we would
have a study of labor grades and the salary curve before the next contract was negotiated No study has
been forthcoming until this year with the presentation of the Holcomb Report submitted in March
This report is woefully inadequate for the job that needs to be done and if we have paid $5,000 for it, we
were taken Not only is the report a simple listing by Tompkins County job titles of management level
jobs with no attempt at all to compare job descnptions, but it does not address at all the question of the
sag in our salary curve that will remain as a problem if we adjust labor grades of some of these positions
following comparisons with those of other counties Added to these shortcomings, this "report"
completely lacks application of any Personnel Service expertise, such as analysis or recommendations,
and it has enough compiling errors to make you question the validity of the whole thing
I have spent a considerable amount of my own time anlayzing several of the positions to illustrate
the point that I made at our last meeting — that there are senous inequities m county pay scales
It is completely unreasonable to expect any Board member, even committee members to spend
the amount of time that I have, doing the work that should have been done by the consultant
Examination of the companson sheet will show, for point of reference, that the position of
Undershenff that we raised last time was doing a little better than the average of comparable counties
before the raise (Can we assume that Tompkins County salanes are 1980 rates and most of the others
are not9)
Note that Tompkins County Central Administrative salanes far exceed those in comparable
counties and approach those in the large counties m two instances as does the Commissioner of Health
while the Human Service departments tend to lag behind other counties The difference between
Office for the Aging and Youth Board Director salaries in other counties is of interest and may reflect a
low value put on youth or the fact that youngsters don't vote while the seniors do We have sensibly
pegged ours at the same, if too low a level Those positions that are in most senous need of remediation
are our own Legislative staff particularly the Clerk of our Board, the Human Rights Investigator and
the Commissioners of Elections
It is imperative that this Board begms to live up to its responsibihties and that we direct the
Personnel Committee to begin to bring in recommendations to this Board for action at the next
meeting "

Mr Mason said this is the only case that he is aware of where the County arbitranly decides to
spend taxpayers money with a profit—making free enterprise without going through bidding

very firm Now Cortland County Legislature, through the Southern Tier East Regional Planning and
Development Board, applied for a traffic study of the Polkville area Part of the study will be the
impact of the industrial park at Polkville on the existing highways in that area and then the impact of
the new Route 13 comdor ending at that same location There will be an official statement, assuming
Southern Tier East Regional Planning and Development Board passes it probably sometime in 1981
It will say whether it is a good idea or not to take Route 13 to Polkville He said if the study says it is not
a good idea, he would like to not have Tompkins County hold up this whole process He suggested,
through the normal channels which would be the County Planning Department, if they would provide
the basic staff to bnng back on the table the corridor that goes through McLean, it would end up
somewhere north of Cortland city, and with the involvement of the Environmental Management

must go to the New York State Health Department and go through review Mrs Howell, Hospital
Administrator, said the hospital is not now and never has been licensed to provide mental health out—
patient services Those have been provided by the Mental Health Department Mr DeLuca, Director
of Mental Health Services, said four years ago there was an understanding by some that it was an
intenm program that was brought into being because the staff available was no longer available and
that there would be psychiatnc staff available at the hospital to pick up the slack once the unit was
open The program now is far greater than the daytime staff in the department can respond to at night
on compensation time He said that if the service is one that is needed and we agree to keep providing
it, who should be sponsoring it and who should pay for it Mr Robey feels if the Board is going to vote
on the agreement Monday, there should be an agreement between Mrs Howell and Mr DeLuca on
how they are going to handle this Mrs Howell offered to meet with Mr DeLuca on the matter

believes posting of a $1,000 bond would be difficult for many crafts people to accomplish He
thinks it would limit any craft fairs in Tompkins County He believes they would see the
resulting lack of sales tax revenues to the County and a lack of opportunity to all the people
who purchase and shop for high quality goods
Peter Safari, Crafts Fair Promotions, said he has done all the craft fairs on the Ithaca
Commons for the last six to seven years He h'as an interest in putting together the largest craft
festival in the area and having it an annual event He also has a major interest in the Ithaca
Center and the market area and will have vendors on a weekly, monthly or yearly basis He
can see this being a good law but very general and there has to be some kind of wording to
pertain to people coming in from out of the area where maybe a blanket type of permit or fee
could be charged The Commons Board does p'ay a fee to the City for the area, and it would be
hard to pay the city and the county
Ralph Jordan, Chamber of Commerce, said if an insurance company were an authonzed
insurance company working under an interstate commerce law, this license would be null and
void Regarding the craft people, he understands that any craft business who is a resident of
Tompkins County, by virtue of that residency,' as long as they filed a DBA, would be exempt
from the law Regarding the bonding situation the bond is only put into existence if payment
is accepted before delivery If municipalities have a current vendors law, that law supercedes
this law It is his hope that eventually, they can have one vending code for the entire county
Sarah Murray asked if a phrase could be included to protect consumers from false services
rendered which are not tangible
There was a general discussion and many questions were raised
Chairman Dates concluded the public hearing at 10 31 a m
Chairman Dates introduced James Mueller and Ellen Relkin
Under privilege of the floor, James Mueller, Cooperative Extension and 4-H Development
agent, said six months ago he wrote two proposals for grant monies to subsidize local
government programs in Tompkins County The monies will run through August of 1981
under which they hired Ellen Relkin through a grant by the New York State 4-H Foundation
and the Community Development Fund of the Department of Human Ecology at Cornell
University They have also been considering options for the program when the funds run out
next August, and they have a program development committee looking into other sources of
funding
Ellen Relkin explained the purpose of the local government internship program is to
provide interested high school students with the opportunity to learn about the structure,
process and content of local government on a first-hand basis Matching students with
government officials on a one-to-one basis wi 1 give the interns an opportunity to observe the
local government's operation on a more intimate basis The program will begin on a pilot level
by involving several junior and senior high school students from Tompkins County schools

resolution is on the agenda They heard from Bill Brothers from the SPCA concerning the
impact that modification of the SPCA budget had on the operations of the SPCA and they
had a lengthy discussion as to how they can best maintain the existing level of services Mr
Brothers has been asked to go back to the SPCA Board of Directors and develop a firm proposal
for the committee to react to which will include such things as increases in impoundment fees
and boarding fees at the SPCA and establishing ordinances that would require fines etc for
infractions that are now going unenforced He thinks there is a potential for substantial
increases in revenues for the SPCA through action such as this that would not result in an
increase in the county s budget in the future Mi Brothers outlined three particular areas
where they see they can reduce spending in 1981 one of which was to eliminate the county—
wide enumeration of dogs Mi Mason said he personally feels this could be a problem for the
SPCA if they do not have enumeration and the accurate count they could suffer increased
loss of revenues from the fact that dogs will go unlicensed They will meet again on December
16 to continue the discussion and entertain a proposal from the SPCA They will also at that
time hear from Roger Hophan Director of Offender Aid and Restoration and discuss the
establishment of a review and reporting system that would make 0 A R responsible and
responsive to the county, in the concerns that they have in the operation of the jail and the
judicial system They also will address appointments to two advisory groups—Family Court
Advisory Council and the Fire and Disaster Advisory Board He anticipates the December 16

Representatives to order at 7 30 p m at the Crash/Fire/Rescue Building at the Airport He then

PUBLIC HEARING
PROPOSED AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT NO 1 EIGHTH YEAR REVIEW
AND CONSOLIDATION OF PRESENT AGRICULTURAL DISTRICTS
NOS 1, 3, 4, 7 AND PART OF 8
The Clerk of the Board confirmed that the public hearing had been legally advertised in the
official newspapers of the County
Gary Evans of the County Planning Department described the consolidation of the above
Agricultural Districts within the Towns of Dryden, Groton, Lansing and Caroline, the time limits in
establishing the district and its viability for agricultural purposes He noted that one unresolved
question concerned George Junior Republic
Roger Gleason, a member of the Agricultural Districting Advisory Committee, reported that
Frank and John Kratochvil have requested to have their property removed
David Hardie of the Lansing Planning Board said they had met and recommended the
Agricultural District and the consolidation as proposed
Frank Liguori reported that the County Plann ng Board met December 12 and endorsed the
consolidations in concept The County Planning Department also endorses the proposed distncts
and consolidations
Gary Evans reported that there is an Environmental Assessment Form and it will be presented
when the Board acts on the consolidation
December 15, 1980 235
On hearing no further requests to be heard, the Chairman closed the public hearing on proposed
Agricultural District No 1
Chairman Dates called the following public hearing to order
PUBLIC HEARING
PROPOSED AGRICULTURAL DISTRICT NO 2
EIGHTH YEAR REVIEW AND EXPANSION
Gary Evans indicated that proposed Agricultural District is in the Town of Ulysses and part of
the Town of Ithaca
Assemblyman Hugh S MacNeil reported that the New York State Assembly has under
consideration a different way in which agricultural land will be assessed He wished to make it clear
that anyone who is involved in agriculture has to be in an agriculture district if his farm land is going to
be assessed to income capitalization and sod classification system Everyone should know that the
acre of land your house sits on is assessed for what the value of the house is for that acre
Mr Patrick Conlon asked about yield of crops and what would you capitalize on or what kind of
market'
Mr MacNeil said by and large if you make a ten dollar profit from an acre of corn and you can
get ten dollars by investing a hundred dollars in the bank, your assessment on that acre would be one
hundred dollars
Monika Crispin, Cooperative Extension agent, compiled a report on both agricultural districts
based on a survey In Agriculture District No 2 the number of farms has remained relatively stable
Part—time farms seem to be increasing It seems to be continuing as a viable agricultural area As far
as the consolidations are concerned farmers in District 8 tend to rent land or have operations in
contiguous districts so they cross current boundaries making the rationale for consolidation logical
Agriculture in the areas seem to be uniform There are more dairy farms in the Town of Groton than
the Town of Lansing but there are larger farms in Lansing The number of farms and the number of
acres has remained fairly stable and the types of operations and investments over the past eight years
indicates agriculture is stable and viable in the area
David Hardie asked what the procedure was to withdraw a couple of acres on the farm for the
possibility of selling a few acres for building lots
Gary Evans said he would see no particular advantage of being outside of the agricultural
district if that was the intent It doesn't involve any penalty If one is receiving the agriculture utility
assessment on that land, you would have to pay the difference in taxes on that land for up to a
maximum of five and a half years that you have enjoyed that difference
James Ray Chairman of the Planning and Public Works Committee, said there is no penalty
dust a roll—back at this time He said up to now, the existing law would allow a person to take an ag
value assessment outside of an agricultural district Outside of an agncultural district there would
have been a penalty on top of paying back the tax three times the taxes on the entire amount you
received on your agriculture assessment
Hearing no further comments Chairman Dates closed the public hearing and adjourned the

the Board demonstrates interest, the committee will bring in a resolution Regarding the Tompkins
County Farm he met with Chairman Dates John Murphy County Administrator Robert Wagner,
Commissionci of Social Services and Harold Doanel from the Farm and are proceeding under the
structure the committee recommended—an orderly slow process of transition of closing the Farm
It was important for the committee to look at how they will operate the home in the coming months
after they have closed down the Farm There are questions to be answered on how much staffing it
will take and do they need to transfer some of the farm staff over to the home They instructed the staff
to come back with a firm recommendation by the end of January so the committee can thoroughly
review it and make a recommendation There will be a resolution on tonight's agenda to accept bids
for the lease of the County Farm

Mr Ray Chairman, Planning and Public Works Committee, stated there was a court inunction

capacity and have transported prisoners to Schuyler County Jail They have increased rates there to
$30 per day There is recent State legislation involving the purchase of bullet proof vests for police
officers Funding does not appear to be adequate on a statewide basis to take care of this program
According to legislation if a police officer requests the equipment, they are obligated to purchase
They then apply for state reimbursement They are also going to be addressing the problem of
contact visitation in the jail There are several court cases in the works in the state and the New York
State Sheriffs Association is now recommending that we take minimal steps to comply with the.
contact visitation requirements because they anticipate the suits will be successful and we will have to
comply with requirements He also said he heard in the news media that the Distnct Attorney was
quoted as saying there would probably be no additional drug investigations or raids as took place a
short time ago because of the serious slash in funding that the Board had done to his budget He thinks
the public is entitled to know there is in place, and has been for many years, a provision where the
District Attorney can conduct confidential investigations without concern for funding The budget
office is authorized to disburse funds to the District Attorney for confidential investigations with no
questions asked until the conclusion of the investigations, and at that time the funds have to be
audited

ANNUAL REPORT — 1980
TOMPKINS COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT
(Submitted by Willard C Schmidt, Commissioner)
Disease prevention, home health care and maintenance of environmental improvement continue
to be expanding goals of the Tompkins County Health Department in 1980 Considerable increases
in all these services were made with only modest increase in expenditure of county tax monies and by
significant New York State Department of Health grants for the WIC nutrition and hypertension
programs Particular effort to achieve complete immunization against vaccine–preventable diseases
based on the new State Immunization Law for school children was successful except in college
students where significant rubella occurred Otherwise, about 95 percent of children in the county,
from infancy through high school age, have been immunized
The continuing Well–Child–Care Program, the Sexually Transmitted Disease treatment and
Contact Investigation Program, Parenting classes, videotaped Health Highlights are examples of a
variety of preventive activities in progress in Tompkins County In addition to offenng counseling
service for people with Visual Impairment, the Health Department initiated vision screening clinics
for pre–school children and senior citizens which have resulted in detection of treatable opthamologic
problems thus preventing permanent visual deficiencies, these efforts are conducted by or under the
direction of a new member of the Department staff who is blind
The Southeast Asian immigrant population in Tompkins County now numbers over 120 Health
surveillance and continuing care, particularly for tuberculosis, has been started
The Home Health Care Program has continued as a valuable, efficient and very active
Department responsibility Significant increases in Physical Therapy, Speech Therapy, Occupa-
tional Therapy, and Health Aide Services were provided to Home Care recipients
WIC Nutrition funding came to Tompkins and Schuyler Counties as a joint program in mid
1980 Staff was hired and within six months had a booming program in operation with 175 pregnant,
lactating, and post–partum women, 204 infants, and 526 children enrolled Nutntion education has
been given major emphasis, and design and implementation of general pre– and post–natal education
may be developed via WIC contacts
Expansion of the hypertension control program permitted extension of blood pressure testing
to more worksites and introduction of screening to high risk groups beginning with blacks at Church
sites and elderly citizens Testing of 2,686 new subjects identified 130 with high blood pressure
Increased educational efforts have been possible in the community, and in groups being followed
Surveillance of the environment and prevention of potential health hazards by the Environmental
Health Division have included, in addition to the many routine activities, advice and assistance in the
development of policy and legislation on transport and storage of radioactive substances, identification,
registration and momtonng of dumpsites and co–sponsorship with Cornell University Department of
Food Science of a two–day Food Service Operators Workshop Outstanding work in inspecting for
and enforcing the new State Fire Safety regulations for temporary residences—primarily motels and
hotels, and design and formalization of a Variance procedure to the County Sanitary Code were
accomplished Timely, proper use of the Variance in conjunction with design suggestions by the
Division for a sewage system were very helpful in bringing the Lansing Senior Citizens' Housing
Project to fruition, one example of the many reported here demonstrating the Department goal of
providing "the good life" in Health for Tompkins County residents

ANNUAL REPORT — 1980
TOMPKINS COUNTY HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION
(Submitted by Scott Heyman, Human Rights Investigator)
The Tompkins County Human Rights Commission was created by resolution of the Board of
Supervisors (now the Board of Representatives) of Tompkins County in December 1963 For 17
years, its volunteer members have worked for equality of opportunity for all in employment, housing,
education, public accommodations, and credit Their activity has centered around raising public
awareness of the damage done by unlawful discnmination
In 1975, an investigator was authorized by the County Board to handle the enforcement, or
complaint processing, aspect of the Commission's work, and to work with the Commission on its
awareness activities In 1979, that position was made full—time
Activities of Commission Members
Most of the work of informing and educating the community about human rights related matters
is still done by the Commission's volunteer members Dunng 1980, these activities included a wide
range of work intttiated by Commission member Steven Fellows Steve spent an average of 25 hours
per week in the Commission office dunng 1980 He worked with municipal agencies and local
disabled persons and their families to increase the use of disabled parking permits in automobiles and to
increase the availability of handicapped parking spaces, this activity has met with tremendous
success He has provided information to area architects] concerning renovations and new constriction
for physical accessibility He has worked with providers, and potential providers, of new housing,
providing them with information about physical accessibility He has worked with Neighborhood
Housing Services on planning for accessibility in renovated housing He has developed programs to
improve public awareness of the needs and nghts of disabled persons He has developed programs to
improve the awareness of disabled persons themselves of their rights and how best to secure them He
has worked with providers of public transportation on questions of accessibility He has coordinated
all of these activities with other service providers for the disabled In addition, he has been available
to cover the office telephone when the investigator is in the field
— Participation in vanous activities dunng the week of January 15, 1981, Dr Martin Luther
King Jr 's Birthday These included a community breakfast at GIAC, films at St James AME Zion
Church, a panel discussion on public access television, and a program of inspirational songs and
speeches at the Strand Theatre All of these activities drew their inspiration from Dr King's life and
teachings and all were extremely well attended and received
— Presentation of programs on various human nghts related topics on public access television
— Formation of a Committee on Equal Treatment of Students This group was formed to receive
complaints regarding unequal treatment of students of different races in the Ithaca School Distnct It
spent the last half of 1980 investigating several longstanding allegations of unequal treatment
Activities of the Investigator
The investigator spends the overwhelming bulk of his time receiving and processing complaints
of unlawful discnmination based on race, color, sex, disability, age, national origin, creed, marital
status, ex—offender status, and retaliation In a one person office, the workload of complaints vanes
from week to week and from month to month, and in the time that remains, the Investigator organizes
programs, pnmanly for employers, to improve awareness of individuals' rights to equal treatment
under law When time permits, he is able to work with Commission members on information and
education activities aimed at the larger community, tint this is usually not possible
The Table of Cases below summarizes the discrimination charges closed and inquiries received
during 1980 It is of note that the number of race andlcolor charges is up so sharply Other human
nghts offices have noted a sharp upswing in the receipt of such charges, and the conclusion is often
drawn that our country is going through another penod of heated racial antagonism Such periods
have come and gone all through Amencan history but they never go away for long If this is the case,
our office will have to renew its ongoing efforts to, stnke at the root of race hatred—through
enforcement of discrimination laws and through public education
While race harassment appears to be increasing nationally, the magnitude of the increase in the
race discrimination caseload of our office probably cannot be fully explained by this phenomenon
The use of area media by the Investigator may have improved our visibility as a place to go when race
discrimination seems to have taken place Although our office is not in any sense in the position
where it "needs the business," it is a healthy sign if all of the persons in the community who are
protected against discrimination feel free to come to us at the appropnate time
The Fair Employment Practices training sessions developed by the Investigator during 1979
Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 257
were well used by area business and industry during 1980 The following organizations invited the

Local human rights offices exist all over the United States, and so information concerning
current civil rights legislation and rulings should be readily available to them Nevertheless, this is not
the case Therefore, the Investigator uses work—study students to perform research projects During
1980, these included the subject areas of sexual harassment, equal athletic offerings for girls and boys,
and general legal research
A Direct Enforcement Project has been organized by the Investigator and was in operation by
the end of the year This project permits local attorneys to volunteer to take up to one human rights
case per year, free of charge to the complainant A committee of the Commission will work with the
Investigator to oversee the project and decide which cases to refer Generally speaking, the group will
be referring those cases that will do the greatest amount of good in terms of overall human rights
enforcement in the County

TOMPKINS COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
(Submitted by Robert L Howard, Sheriff)
(Detailed Report on file with Clerk)
I herewith submit the annual report of activities of the Tompkins County ShenfFs Department
for the year 1980
Data on reportable offenses provided by computer readout sheets from the Division ofCnmmal
Justices Services shows that Tompkins County had a total of 3,673 reportable cnmes for the first nine
months of 1980 The Tompkins County Shenffs Department handled 898 of these crimes, New
York State Police handled 405, Ithaca Police handled 1,105 and all other agencies including College
Safety Divisions handled 1,242 These statistics do not include crimes of a minor nature
Our detective division recovered stolen property valued at $224,320 The traffic division issued
1,543 summonses for traffic violations Fines levied by town justices for these traffic violations
totaled $27,031 00 Our civil office collected $350,378 55 total receipts in 1980
Road patrols investigated 1,099 accidents during the year There were 1 612 vehicles involved
in these accidents 458 people were injured and there were a total of six fatalities
The jail population was down slightly from 1979 when 944 males and 160 females were
remanded Dunng 1980, the total was 757 males and 134 females Even with this decrease, the
County was forced to rent cell space from Schuyler and Steuben Counties at $30 00 per day from
Schuyler and $50 00 per day from Steuben The food cost at the jail was kept very low per meal with
the help of Federal surplus food We are still not meeting minimum standards as prescribed by the
State Commission of Corrections The Public Safety Committee has been notified of this problem
and taken steps to correct some of the violations
Concerned citizens volunteered many hours of time to jail programs during the year The Jail
Program Committee, 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 1980 This was
partially due to monthly meetings of the Tompkins County Law Enforcement Administrators Group
This group is now jointly sponsoring police training within the County for 6th zone police officers
Volunteer fire companies and fire police were most helpful to our department in fire and accident
investigations Trained personnel in ambulance crews within the county took much of the burden for
handling injured persons
I would like to thank the Board of Representatives for their help and cooperation during 1980
Juvenile Program
It seems that today's youth are faced with greater challenges at an earlier age For most, this
means greater difficulties in growing up As a result, our educators strive endlessly to combat this
problem with vaned approaches to education One person they frequently reach out to for support is
the juvenile officer, requesting him to give lectures on varied topics such as rape, drug abuse, juvenile
and criminal justice systems
The Junior Deputy Program sponsored by the Tompkins County Sheriff's Department
continued to gain in populanty with participants and their parents The program was upgraded this
year to include more educational law information for the 6th graders Added to the program for the
first time were Boynton and DeWitt Schools Now more than ever, we are reaching a larger segment
of our county youth This year, approximately 700 of them participated in the program
A new program has been added to the duties of the juvenile officer's school related activities In
co-sponsorship with the Greater Ithaca Activities Center, our juvenile officer participates in a law
related education program consisting of a week-long seminar given at the 7th and 8th grade levels
This program is available to all county schools To date, it has been successfully implemented at
Newfield and DeWitt
The Sheriff Department's Explorer Post was very active and the energetic young people
involved worked at many area functions and raised enough money through donations to buy much
equipment for their group
Four area youths were fortunate enough to be picked to attend the State Sheriffs summer camp
at Norwich, New York One hundred fifty two Tompkins County Junior Deputies attended a three-
day campout at Camp Barton sponsored by donations from the citizens of Tompkins County and the
Sheriffs Department fund raising efforts
The juvenile officer handled 163 juvenile cases and referred 56 cases to Family Court and
260 Tompkins County, New York
resolved the other 107 by working with the youths and their parents
Navigation Report
The Sheriff's Department actively enforced the Navigation Laws on Cayuga Lake during the
summer of 1980 This patrol, we feel, kept the boating accidents on the lake to a minimum In our
patrol area of the lake, only two accidents occurred There were no personal injuries and only minor
property loss Our patrol issued ten summonses for violations of the Navigation Law and all ten
entered a guilty plea Many other boaters were stopped and their safety equipment was checked and
warnings were given for minor violations Four vessels were reported by their owners as either stolen
or broke loose from their moorings One of the missing vessels was recovered by our patrol Value of
the recovered property was $1400 00 Twenty regattas were patrolled by our patrol boat at the
request of either the Yacht Club or the Power (Squadron The new patrol boat is performing
excellently and should give the County many years of service The County will recover approximately
38% of the cost of the patrol boat from state aid

TOMPKINS COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY
(Submitted by Louis Mezgar, Director)
(Detailed Report on file with the Clerk)
The library hummed with activity in 1980 Patron visits (273,891) averaged 3 14 for the entire
county population Library users of all ages borrowed books, records and cassettes, art prints, and
films at the rate of 5 3 for each county resident as our circulation climbed to 463,256 Other library
users came to seek answers to questions (our reference department has a success rate of 85%), to
attend story hours, concerts, and film programs, to use special equipment for the visually
handicapped, or, simply, to read
The book security system, installed in December 1979, is proving to be an excellent investment,
losses were reduced more than 90% dunng the year
Three major projects initiated in 1980 are scheduled for completion in 1981
• A computerized inventory control and circulation system is tentatively set to be
operational by November In addition to providing much faster and more responsive
circulation service to the public, the system will identify high—demand items as well as
materials that would have very low priority Such information will help us to greatly refine
our book purchasing, which, in turn, will better meet the needs of the public
The inventory of the library collection, begun in 1979, is complete and about 85% of the
author—title information from that inventory has been converted to machine—readable
format This will contnbute significantly to the conversion to automation
• A microcomputer, donated by the Friends of the Library, has been programmed By mid—
year, when the data entry process is complete, it will be available for storing and retrieving
information about local services and organizations
• Preliminary studies for a long—range plan for the library were completed in 1980 During
the coming months, staff, administration, and trustees will analyze the data and develop goals
and policies for the library for the next three to five years
The planning and implementation of these projects attest to the dedication of our staff All
involved responded enthusiastically to the special demands placed on them by the projects but, at the
same time, vigorously camed out the "routine" but demanding assignments
I am very grateful to the staff for their hard work, suggestions, and devotion
My special thanks to the Tompkins County Board of Representatives for their understanding of
library issues and for the 1981 budget allocation, which allows us to lease the much—needed inventory
control and circulation system
A bouquet of thanks goes to the Friends of the Library for their continuing support I especially
wish to acknowledge their 2,163 in—library volunteer hours (the equivalent of a full—time staff
position) and their grants for the microcomputer and year—round library programming
I also wish to thank the Board of Trustees for the greatly increased number of hours they spent on
library matters and for their deep personal commitment to improved library services

DIRECTOR, WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
(Submitted by Louis Emmick, Director)
This year, 1980 started out with the energy situation still requiring considerable time, but
dwindled down toward spnng In January, I felt a need to be looking into the precious metal dealers,
but had no knowledge of the Troy system so I had to teach myself The County set of weights is in
Apothecary, which is made up of grains, as in the Troy system—but different amount per unit In the
first rounds, I found no sealable scales in use I issued more "stop use" orders than in all the six years
on the job I only confiscated one scale, but probably should have taken another half dozen because
they will be used in other areas Our own local jewelers still do not have sealable scales They tell me
they are not buying, but I hear from others that some are
By way of interest, in testing the County petroleum pumps, over 8,500 gallons of product were
drawn and returned to storage, with two five gallon provers Also, over 13,000 gallons of product
were drawn for certifying the fuel truck meters, using the 100 gallon prover In both cases, the gallons
reflect adjustments to egwpment to keep them in close tolerance
There are at least 100 scales for which the 50 pound weights are used in testing, from 200 pounds
to the 1,000 pounds that Tompkins County owns
