about employees benefit workshops There was also a presentation on drunk driving A repre-
sentative from the State Commission of Corrections spoke to them
12 January 26, 1981
There is an increase in mortalities in the 15-25 age group pnmanly due to alcohol related ac-
cidents She said she thinks the news that the sheriff and county legislators can be held personal-
ly liable for harm coming to prisoners in countyails is something they should be aware of and
they should do what they can to make sure these things do not happen through any fault of theirs
The State is asking for a 300 million dollar bond issue to build state prisons The Corrections Com-
missioner is asking that some of that money, or more money, be used to reimburse counties for
improvements to their facilities He also spoke about the increased number of suicide attempts in
jails Mrs Livesay said there was an update on OSHA Mr Culligan said it might be well for that
report to go to the Budget and Administration Committee and the Planning and Public Works
Committee She also stated there was a brief report on the Governor's budget, plans, etc He is

sit bus and on three of the runs they were more than half full
Mr Robey commented on a letter received from Attorney Richard Mulvey He takes serious
exception to the point of view in the letter He said he wrote a letter to the editor to try to ex-
press why he felt some of the Board voted to withhold money to the Chamber of Commerce The
point he thought they were acting on was that there is a group that is in the business of endors-
ing political candidates
Mr Theisen also commented on the letter He said the Political Action Committee is a separate
corporation No money at all from the Chamber of Commerce goes to that committee It is a
separate contribution from the individual businessmen in the community The only problem the
Board should be concerned with is that any money given by us to the Chamber of Commerce could
not,in any way be used for that purpose He thinks the Board is going beyond what they should
do in withholding those funds
Mrs Livesay pointed out that she understood from the beginning the separation in terms of
the money
Mr Culligan stated the matter is going to the Budget and Administration Committee and he
and Mr Watros have met with the president of the Chamber of Commerce The tourism brochure
and information centers are needed and they have to contract somebody to do it
Mr Watros said this brochure has to go to punt sometime prior to the middle of February so
they have to make a decision on whether they want to contract with a firm directly or make a
separate contract to the Chamber of Commerce

PUBLIC HEARING
PROPOSED LOCAL LAW NO. 2
COUNTY OF TOMPKINS, STATE OF NEW YORK
Mr Mason explained that the State has set specific minimums for impoundment fees and al-
lows the County to modify these as it sees fit as long as they don't drop below the minimum The
current Section a of 118 says there shall be a $10 00 fee for the first impoundment of any dog Sec-
tion b indicates if the same dog is impounded a second time, there will be a $20 00 fee plus a $3 00
a day charge This local law that is proposed would allow that $3 00 a day charge to be imposed
on the first impoundment as well, after the first 24 hour period He said last fall they discussed
the deduction of funding for the SPCA One of the things they considered was alternative means
of funding the SPCA so they could maintain as high as possible level of dog control This appears
to be one area that would allow the SPCA to generate approximately $2500 to $3,500 additional
revenues for the year which could be applied toward dog control
There were no further comments and the Chairman closed the public hearing at 10 06 a m

Mr Culligan said in 1968 he was appointed as permanent site chairman for the community col-
lege It was not an easy job On March 10, 1969, a resolution was presented to purchase 500 acres
for $325,000 It failed in both Tompkins and Cortland Counties The same year on June 11, a
resolution was presented to purchase 400 acres of land for $225,000 It met with a tie in Tompkins
County—7 to 7 with 2 abstaining However, Cortland County Board passed the 400 acres at that
pnce This created a problem On June 16, 1969, the Tompkins County Board and Cortland Coun-
ty Board met together The Education Department was telling them they didn't need 400 acres, so
they compromised As a result of that meeting, on August llth another resolution was presented
and they bought 230 acres of land for $70,000 They are hearing now that the college needs more
land He asked Mr Thomas Murphy and Mr Hushang Bahar to report at the next meeting of this
Board to explain why
Mr Robey said it was his understanding that President Bahar has been trying to obtain that
land as a buffer He said about two years ago President Bahar approached him There was no in-
terest on this Board that he could see in buying the property so he reported that to Mr Bahar

individuals In the past there have been some problems because of the distinctive markings They
determined they would prefer to trade them in even though there was a slight dollar difference
However, the County Attorney has ruled that because of the way the legal ads are worded, they

thing they should consider in bid specifications

about whether it is the state's program and this board doesn't have anything to do with it, or
whether it is this board's program He said the responsibility for accepting and spending millions
of dollars of CETA funds should not be taken lightly by the Board of Representatives She said
Mr Dates clanfied that the Chairman of the Board or chief elected official is responsible The
Chairman of the Board means the entire Board of Representatives With this clarification from
the State, there are remedial steps that need to be taken - the CETA program must report to this
Board She said she thought she had always understood, and thought other members ofthisBoard
had understood, that it was the Personnel Committee However, she was told at the Personnel
Committee that it did not report to this committee and somehow the advisory committee reported
directly to the Chairman Now that it is clarified, she feels the representation on the advisory com-
mittee ought to be determined by this Board and the appointments of individuals to advisory com-
mittee should be made by the entire board, not lust the chairman
Mr Clynes, said he thinks this needs verification from a higher authority than that at the Semi-
nar

input of 25 different people on the state level, regional, and local level The CETA program is

year ago with a letter from the District Attorney expressing a desire to have the position increased
to full time Once it becomes a full time position, the state dictates the salary After talking with
a substantial number of attorneys, there was a strong consensus with 90% indicating a need for a
full-time position, and after hearing all the arguments and reviewing laws that would be effective
if they make it full time, and after taking a careful look at financial implications, the committees
felt that they were justified in making it a full-time position, effective starting with the next term
April 27, 1981 71
The State says a full-time position would be paid the same level as the County Judge However,
by making it a full-time position, they would qualify for $10,000 state reimbursement He feels it
is going to strengthen the position considerably and they will see outstanding individuals who are
willing to become candidates for the office and it is going to benefit the voters and residents of
the county The resolution was unanimously adopted

and Administration Committees, That the position of Distnct Attorney in Tompkins County be in-
creased from part-time to full-time, effective January 1, 1982

WHEREAS, carbonated soft drink, beer and ale bottles and cans create problems of litter, are
a hazard to pedestnans and add to the amount of municipal solid waste disposed of daily, and
WHEREAS, requiring a mandatory deposit on all carbonated soft drink, beer or malt con-
tainers sold in the State of New York would to a great extent alleviate these problems, and
WHEREAS, proposed legislation considered in the New York State Legislature (Senate 2831
and Assembly 3692) would not require a change to refillable bottles or affect non -beverage food

ly process them, and

tal Management Council, That the Tompkins County Board of Representatives does request the

(b) The Board of Representatives, in planning such reappointment shall
appoint a committee on reapportionment to assist it in arriving at a plan

SECTION 2 This local law is adopted subject to permissive referendum pursuant to Section
24 of the Municipal Home Rule Law The Chairman opened the public hearing
Mrs Libby DeProsse, President of the League of Women Voters, read a statement in opposi-
tion to the proposed local law and urged the Board to vote no The League feels the County should
proceed with preparations for a 1981 election for shortened terms based on the old districts ,It
should, at the same time, enact a local law calling for a special election at the earliest possible
November date
Mrs Anne Fury, Mayor of the Village of Lansing, read a memo to the Board from the Board
of Trustees of the Village of Lansing. They urgently requested that the Board reconsider this
timetable and set up a special election in two years
Mr Leonard Ferris urged the Board to work at a pace where they are not hurrying into some-
thing where they wished later they had taken more time
Mr Ben Nichols, Mrs Dooley Kiefer and Mr Don Lifton all spoke in opposition to the
proposed local law
No one else wished to speak and the chairman closed the public hearing.
The minutes of the May 11, 1981 meeting were approved subject to correction by the clerk
Under privilege of the floor, Mr Culligan read a letter dated May 12th from the TO Founda-
tion, Inc , that said the directors adopted a resolution of acceptance of a grant of $90,000 from the
Howell Foundation to be used to purchase the Sisco property Mr Culligan said he wanted to be
placed on record as opposing this Sisco property as it was not needed for any reason that was
feasible ten or twelve years ago He said he would be upset if the property was taken off the tax
roll If it is, he would encourage the chairman to contact the president of the TC3 Foundation to
see they would pay in lieu of taxes and for the upkeep of the property
Mr Satterly and Mr Miller both agreed with Mr Culligan
Chairman Dates said he felt this should go back to the Intergovernmental Relations Commit-
tee
Mr Ray said if the agreement is entered into, he thinks the need to address the concern of the
Town of Dryden and thinks it would be appropriate for discussions in lieu of type of payment equal
to what the tax revenue would have been
Mr Watros said, that if they are speaking of payment in lieu of taxes are they talking raw land
or potential development It is the long-range potential yield that it could generate as opposed to
what is going to be held by TC3 He thinks that is the concern
Mr Marcham said he and Mrs Livesay were in attendance when the Ithaca Landmarks Com-
mission honored six properties in the city Two of those are county properties --Boardman House
and the Old Courthouse They were presented plaques The plaques were done by Mary Shelly of
Ithaca
Chairman Dates said copies of the new administrative manual are on file at the clerk's office
Chairman Dates said he wondered if it would be appropnate for this Board to present a
Tompkins County Board of Representatives' cup to the winning Babe Ruth team He referred that
question to the Intergovernmental Relations Committee Mr Tillapaugh said he would support
that suggestion
Mrs Livesay said she has received communication from Wells College which says Wells Col-
lege is attempting to identifywomen in leadership positions in the public and private sector
throughout New York State It is their goal to hold a three-day conference during the summer of
1982 They included a questionnaire, and one question that she was not able to answer was "Would
your firm or organization underwrote part or all of the costs -approximately $150 excluding travel
for a participant at such a meeting" Chairman Dates referred it to the Budget and Administra-
tion Committee
Various committee chairmen reported as follows
Mr Culligan, Chairman, Health Committee, reported the Health Committee met May 12 They
gave approval, along with the Board of Health and the Environmental Management Council, that
Tompkins County does have in use a used -oil recovery program There are stations throughout the
County willing to collect the used oil He reported they discussed with Dr Schmidt, Commissioner
86 May 26, 1981
of Health, the status of the nurse practitioner and speech therapist which were contracted in the
early part of the year They will discuss that further at their next meeting There was also discus-
sion with Dr Schmidt on Health Department membership in the Home Care Association It was
declared by the County Attorney, after corresponding with Albany, that this would be a feasible
charge He also reported that they discussed the bid system for the telephones in the Health Depart-
ment They discussed transitions of funds in the hypertension program budget They also discussed
the problem of the Tompkins County Comprehensive Health Planning Council It is a member of
the eleven -county Central New York State Health Planning Council Each County has its own health
planner and funds are being cut so badly in Albany that eight have been relieved from their posi-
tions including Tompkins County The Health Committee will decide what they should do at their
June meeting He said the eleven counties will now be divided into three sections They are work-
ing with local people on how to solve the problem of workingwith other counties and hope they
can keep somebody here at least in the office to correspond with the Syracuse office Whether
Tompkins County will continue with them or go on their own has to be decided in the budget com-
ing up this fall He said there is a problem that has arisen with Meadow House He asked Mr
Robey to report on that problem
Mr Robey said the Health Committee at its last meeting heard a proposal and a resolution
from Anthony DeLuca, Director of Mental Health Services, which was passed by the Mental Health
Board and brought to the Health Committee They need to pass the resolution as soon as possible
so they can get back to the State which is not going to give the money until they have an under-
standing from this Board This is the latest solution for the location of Meadow House The State
had planned to take over the financing of the construction of the new facility but that fell through
There is now another source of funds in the State identified whereby the County would bear the
cost but be almost totally reimbursed He said they will ask to have that resolution added to the
agenda today
Mr Clynes referred to Mr Culligan's report on the Health Systems Agency and said HSA in-
corporated -the existing health planning agencies that served this county which was known as
ALPHA
Mr Clynes reminded everyone to please submit in wnting any suggestions they have to the Per-
sonnel Management and Confidential Study Committee
Mr Satterly, Chairman, Human Services Committee, reported they met May 13th in a Joint
meeting with the Budget and Administration Committee as to how they are going to address the
pnonties for federal revenue shanng funds that will come in the fall There is another meeting
scheduled Thursday at noon with both committees, and with the help of Chris Buscher and com-
missioner Wagner, they hope to follow up and have a further report The next regular meeting is
June 2
Mr Freeman reported that this year funding requests are_going to be done through the Youth
Bureau locally, which is different than done in the past Th will be getting
a Tetter out to
municipalities as a follow up to a letter that the Binghamton office is sending.
Mr Robey reported on the TO budget process TO Trustees met on Thursday Things are
still up in the air and the college is not yet ready to go to the Trustees with the budget They are
hopingfor June 18th, so maybe this Board should try for our meeting on June 29 He announced
that unday is the TC3 graduation
Mr Marcham said at the last Intergovernmental Relations Committee meeting, they were ex-
pecting a meeting of the TC3 Foundation to be held at noon They expected nothing to happen
regarding the Sisco property However, in spite of asking for our blessing, the Foundation pur-
chased the property Mr Robey has asked the President of TC3 to explain, among other things,
the power and authonty of the Foundation relative to the college and to the County If they have
that in time for Monday' s committee meeting, it will give them an opportunity to go further on
this question He said the relationship of this Board and the County to that organization is not
clear It appears at this point to be entirely autonomous to this Board However, it is inevitably in-
terconnected with TC3 and thus with them He was asked by the committee to explore the ques-
tion of the transaction of the property in Tight of Tompkins County Board action m 1972 He for-
mally asked Mr Williamson, County Attorney, to look into that transaction He asked that when
they get a report from Mr Bahar, that they also discover whether the land held by TC3 Founda-
tion is eligible for tax exemption
Mr Marcham also asked about the Vietnam waiver of tuition at TC3. He also spoke about the
Legalizing Action for the Town of Ulysses which is on tonight's agenda
Mr Mason, Chairman, Public Safety and Corrections Committee, said they have received notice
from Lois Humphrey, Acting Probation Director, That the 1981-1982 State Division of Probation
Budget calls for and will allow an increase in reimbursement rate we received through Probation
from the existing 41.5% to 463% He also called their attention to a seminar, Thursday in Nor-
wich on the problems facing the State and local correctional facilities He said the committee met
May 26, 1981 87
last Wednesday and covered two items which will be facing this Board in the future One will call
for two resolutions for the next board meeting For some time the Arson Task Force Committee
has been meeting in the County to develop a plan that has to be submitted to the State of New
York Division of Fire Prevention Control to develop a plan for Tompkins County for arson inves-
tigation That plan has been completed and reviewed by the committee was approved by the Arson
Task Force and will be submitted to the State for their approval It is in satisfaction of a mandate
= that came from the State legislature about two years ago They have had tremendous cooperation
from all areas of the community
Mr Mason also reported that they heard a report from Jim Johnston, Family and Children's
Service and Audrey Cooper from the Tompkins County Family Court Dispositional Alternatives
Program They met out of concern that their funding may be eliminated, possibly at the federal
level within the next year or so He asked the board to follow the program closely between now
and budget time It is currently being funded at around $46,000 a year with federal dollars It
provides for intensive one-on-one supervision of young people who have been adjudicated, ► e , they
have gone all the way through the court system as many as five times and are at the end of the
rope At that time the judge has one choice and that is to send them to an institution Right now
if they send them to an institution such as Industry, it is costing 589 20 per day That is 50% local
tax dollars Since March of 1980 when this program was implemented at the local level, on an ex-
perimental basis, the courts have assigned twenty young people to this program If sent to an in-
stitution, 5294,554 27 would have been expended and of that, 5147,277 14 would be local tax dol-
lars Since the program has started, it has cost no tax dollars If federal funding is cut off in the
future, he urged them to take a good look. It has benefits to the community
Mrs Livesay said she hopes they will look at the costs they get into if they don't take care of
some of these problems early She hopes when the Budget and Administration and Human Ser-
vices Committees, and any committee, are considenng what not to fund, that they will think of all
the costs
Mr Watros, Chairman, Budget and Administration Committee, said they met twice, once with
the Human Services Committee They reviewed three items pertaining to finance and there are
resolutions on the agenda They also discussed Local Laws No 4 and 5
Mr Murphy, County Administrator, gave a brief report on some of the procedures they are
going through relative to taxes and tax advertising.
Mr Williamson, County Attorney, said they did receive an affirmance in the Kirshgessner case
from the Appellate Division which affirmed Judge Bryant's decision
Mr Culligan said he is a director representing Tompkins County on the Finger Lakes Associa-
tion He said he attended their annual meeting in Geneseo May 14 The Finger Lakes Association
has eight counties They lead all other upstate vacation lands in the size of the tounsm industry
The State Commerce Department figures document that the size of the industry here is more than
half a billion dollars annually In 1980 they led all other upstate vacation lands in hotels and motel
occupancy rates Every dollar that comes into the community for tourism turns over seven times

in Trumansburg There must be a contract so they can continue They felt they did not have enough
information at this time to bung the contract before the board The committee had a report on
the amount of federal revenue sharing requests that will come forth from the Human Services
Coalition The Coalition is looking at those carefully and willrovide a list of pnonties Mr Sat-
terly said he had hoped to have a contract to present today for the Economic Opportunity Cor-
poration rent but it is not ready yet
There was discussion about the number of beds per day we contract for at the Good Home
Youth Home Mr Satterly said the cost is $75 per day for five beds Mr Mason said they do not
pay for five beds unless the five are occupied
Mr Ray, Chairman, Planning and Public Works Committee, said they met July 27 Many issues
resulted in resolutions One resolution has to do with the Landstrom landfill situation where a
citizens' committee came to the Town of Spencer about their concern with ground water The staff
has recommended, and the committee has agreed, to fund up to approximately $3,480 for the cost
of drilling additional wells so they will have adequate test wells available surrounding the Landstrom
landfill site for quarterly samples This seems to be acceptable to the Town of Spencer, other towns
involved and the citizens' group Landstrom takes somewhere near 58% of all the solid waste from
the county and they have additional solid waste going to the Dryden site which this board has a
commitment to close in 1985 Mr Ray said they also recommended adding a housing and energy
seat to the County Planning Board They had discussions on the Newfield Sewerage project The
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, along with E P A have asked for ad-
ditional capital outlay in relation to testing for $2,000
Mr Robey, Intergovernmental Relations Committee, reported at the July 20th meeting they
received a report from the Youth Bureau Evaluation Committee That committee felt the Youth
Bureau was meeting its charge of its enabling resolution pascrd in 1976 establishing the Youth
Board They learned that it was cost effective and without a Youth Bureau, they would be losing
out on state monies The total eligibility is $178,260 compared to $72,994 without a Youth Bureau
The director was being used effectively The problems they had with the Youth Board as far as at-
tendance and commitment has been dramatically improved over the year The board will receive
copies of that report He reported the committee agreed to bring a resolution to the board to
amend Resolution No 276 of 1976 which established the Youth Bureau so it would no longer re-
quire an evaluation every two years If there are any specific problems they can do it anytime They
also discussed the creation of a historian position in the county They had a proposal to separate
it from the DeWitt Histoncal Society They are looking into that proposal
Mr Mason, Chairman, Public Safety and Corrections Committee, said they met in July and the
discussion was entirely on problems at the county jail in relation to overpopulation People from
many agencies and divisions of county government who are concerned with that problem attended
One of the items of discussion that has potential for alleviating some of the problem is the State
Probation Department's intensive supervision program which has been implemented in about 19
counties throughout the state where pnsoners who are confined to jail undergo a thorough evalua-
tion to determine if they would be suitable subjects to be allowed out of the jail but under inten-
sive supervision It is partially funded by the State of New York He scheduled a meeting for August
18
Mr Mason reported that the special committee to study theail has begun preparations for
study in relation to the proposed bond issue for jail renovation The committee met July 28 and
started off with a tour of the jail The committee came up with a list of twelve items they felt war-
ranted further review Seven are classified as routine maintenances and ongoing maintenance and
probably will be taken care of through the Shenff 's Department budget The other five items are
those the Shenff feels are at the present time not in compliance with the state mandates This is
the area they will be further exploring There is a critical shortage of cells and the availability of
the jail to serve the population On the third floor of the jail there is room for three more cells
in an unfinished area on each side of the cell blocks, so there is potential for either additional cells
or some type of lower security holding point where they might be able to accommodate prisoners
on weekends There is a potential to alleviate some of the overcrowding without undue expense
They will be looking at it further in the near future
Mr Watros, Chairman, Budget and Administration Committee, reported they met and have
resolutions on the agenda They will be taking up a returned village school tax and there will be a
hearing in September He also mentioned that the budget process is underway

was Moved by Mrs Livesay to delete the amendment that was just added There was no second
to the motion Mr Ray said at the joint committee meeting last week there was considerable dis-
cussion relative to the particular program that had the largest impact on the community He feels
if they are going to be as deeply involved in this process as they have been this time, possibly at
some future time there might be support for a statement to the effect that if there are going to
be cuts, those cuts would come from nonlocal job opportunity type programs before such programs
as nursing were cut There was considerable discussion about not having some other alternatives
before them related to job opportunities and some of the representatives might like that A roll
call was taken Ayes - Representatives Watros (I certainly approve of the budget I am concerned
about the attachment made here today I think it might be necessary particularly in view of the fact
it could impact upon county negotiations in the future), Clynes, Conley, Culligan, Freeman, Livesay

negotiated with Cortland County but also express my concern that I expressed before that we may

Moved by Mr Mason, seconded by Mr Culligan Unanimously adopted
WHEREAS, the New York State Commissioner of Motor Vehicles has the discretion to develop
a photo licensing system, and
WHEREAS, the former Commissioner sought to develop a photo license system usingthe
central issuance process which was opposed by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and
the New York State Association of County Clerks, and
WHEREAS, members of said Association of County Clerks have conducted an investigation
and analysis of both systems and believe that the only feasible system for issuing photo driver licen-
ses is the over-the-counter or instant system for several reasons
(a) twenty-nine of the forty-five states that issue photo licenses use the instant
system
September 14, 1981 131
(b) since 1974 no state with such a system has changed, while five states have
switched to the instant system and three more are contemplating changing
to such a system,
(c) it has been found that the instant system can be as secure and possibly
more secure than a central system,
(d) the total cost of the instant system is much lower, due in part to the film
transportation cost, mailing expenses and the fact that a temporary license
would have to be issued to each applicant,
(e) more convenient to the customer in case pictures are not satisfactory they
can be retaken immediately, eliminating a return tnp to their local office,
(f) customer would obtain actual photo license from local office rather than
temporary license, eliminating possible loss through the mails,
now therefore be it
RESOLVED That the Tompkins County Board of Representatives hereby supports the posi-
tion of the New Fork State Association of County Clerks regarding the development of an instant
system for issuing photo driver licenses and also urges the Department of Motor Vehicles to adopt
the over-the-counter (instant) process,
RESOLVED, further, That said Board also urges the Assembly and Senate to delete funds
from the 1981 supplemental budget for the central system
RESOLVED, further, That the County Clerks receive an additional fifty -cent fee for each photo
license issued,
RESOLVED, further, That copies of this resolution be forwarded to Hugh L. Carey, Gover-
nor of New York State, Senator William T Smith, Assemblyman, Hugh S MacNeil, Leslie Fos-
chio, Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, and Edwin L. Crawford, Executive Director of the New
York State Association of Counties

been replaced with an emergency broadcast station that alerts people that an emergency broadcast
will follow Concern was expressed if someone didn't have a radio He said fire trucks and police
agencies in this county are equipped with a public address system The advantage of using that sys-
tem over a siren system is they can give the public specific information He said there are very few

time He is hopeful the bids will be within budget
Mr Ray read a letter from Robert O'Connor, Department of Transportation Coordinator of

Von Nelda who were instrumental in the success of a field tnp and demonstration presented as
part of a traffic control and work zone program under the auspices of the Cornell University High-
way School
Mr Robey spoke regarding United Funding for the Arts The concept would be similar to a
"United Way" for the thirty or forty art organizations in the County
Mr Marcham, Chairman, Intergovernmental Relations Committee, said they have a request of
the Agnculture Stabilization Conservation Service that an agncultural emergency be declared so
farmers can qualify for certain funds They will discuss that request at their next meeting He also
reported they will be acting on the narrative and the document of the Youth Bureau which qualifies
them for funds
Nancy Zahler said there needs to be an approved Comprehensive Youth Services Plan com-
pnsed of the Narrative and the request for matching funds to operate the programs It could be
voted on separately or combined
Mr Mason, Chairman, Public Safety and Correction Committee, reported they will meet Oc-
tober 30 on approval of specifications for bullet-proof vests for the Sheriff's Department The major
item of discussion will be the "STOP -DWI" program It is hoped the counties will implement the
program by November 23 At that time the county will start accruing fines collected from those ar-
rested following November 28 for DWI and found guilty In order for the county to begin accru-
ing those funds, they have to name a coordinator for the county and indicate that they intend to
participate in the program At the committee meeting on Friday they hope to receive proposals
from the community on how best for Tompkins County to go about establishing the "STOP -DWI"
program If they don't have a coordinator by November 28, they won't be credited with the fine
for anyone arrested after that date until they do have a coordinator Based on what was collected
last year, Tompkins County stands to collect about $51,000 for the coming year He said until they
have accrued fines and until the Department of Motor Vehicles has approved the final plan, they
will have to fund it at the local level Financing would come back from Albany retroactive to the
date they appoint a coordinator They will request, at least on a temporary basis, county funding
to get the program started Following Friday's meeting, he hopes to bnng a recommendation to
the board as to the county's role in the "STOP -DWI" program
Mrs Livesay requested that when the committee knows what kind of recommendation they
want for the coordinator, even though the State says it is to be appointed by the Chairman of the
Board, they would want to conform to the Charter and follow the proper procedure
Mr Murphy, County Administrator, gave a report on estimated sales tax revenue from residen-
tial units only for utility gas, electnc, fuel oil and kerosene They put together figures relative to
the question about residential units and how much sales tax is generated from the 3% still col-
lected in Tompkins County from the sale of natural gas, electric, fuel oil, kerosene and whatever
other source of residential energy they have
Mr Culligan said he had requested the information for tax relief for people paying tax on fuel,
particularly the elderly He is hopeful that something will be done
Mr George Pfann, Assistant County Attorney, reported on the Reapportionment Case The
Judge's decision was in the favor of the county The Court said it wished to avoid any disruption
of the election process for this fall The Court directed the County to furnish the Court with a
weighted voting plan they devise under the terms of Resolution No 222 by December 14, 1981
Mr Marcham said he doesn't feel the court decision tells them what is going to happen next
or whether they are going to create new districts or not
Mr Pfann said they have until December 14 to develop the plan and submit it to the Court
for approval It says the county has resolved to implement the weighted voting plan to cover the
upcoming election That is what the weighted voting plan is supposed to cover --the present dis-
tricts He said the decision refers to Resolution No 222 which refers to the present boundaries It
is his interpretation that the plan should be concerned with the present election districts
October 26, 1981 151
Mr Robey said he hoped the board would not use the judge's decision to "back into" weighted
voting after 1985 He feels reapportionment should go forward, not weighted voting. Weighted
voting should be viewed only as a short-term measure, not a long-range solution
There was further discussion Mr Pfann said he felt they don't have to have another plan until
1985 He feels what happens between December 14 and 1985 is open The Judge has said they
don't have to come up with anything until 1985 because that is when the next regular election will
occur
Mr Marcham said he assumed this court decision meant that they would come in with a new
set of districts

The minutes of the October 26th meeting were approved subject to the addition of Mr Robey's
statement regarding weighted voting
Chairman Dates introduced Edwin Crawford, Executive Director of the New York State As-
sociation of Counties
Mr Crawford spoke to the Board about the New York State Association of Counties and some
of the concerns they will be addressing in the future
Under privilege of the floor, Mrs Livesay said she noticed on the part of the budget that refers
to CETA that it has a committee recommendation on the amount and she asked what committee
Mr Tillapaugh said he would like the Chairman to request the County Administrator and the
Budget and Administration Committee to study the impact of a gradual elimination of the energy
tax over a three-year period of time and bring back a report to the Board for consideration He
also said for several years the towns, counties and villages were able to go into creeks to remove
gravel to use in driveway, highway construction, etc but for the last several years they have not
been able to do that without a considerable amount of red tape He felt they should be able to
get the state legislature to ease up on the regulations to allow them to get the gravel He felt this
Board should do something
Mr Watros commented on Mrs Livesay's remarks about CETA He couldn't recall much dis-
cussion by the Budget and Administration Committee and asked who did review that budget
Mr Clynes said the process was the same as every year with the CZ✓IA program It was dif-
ferent because it is grant dollars They are not appropnatmg local funds and it has always gone
from the staff to the Budget and Administration Committee
Chairman Dates, on behalf of the Board, thanked Frank Liguori, Paul Finger, Jack Miller and
Bill Mobbs for doing an outstanding job as department heads during the heavy rains Also, all the
municipal officers, mayors of villages, town supervisors and everyone connected, especially the Red
Cross
Mr Liguon, Commissioner of Planning, reported the most outstanding feature of this is the
way the people and municipalities in Tompkins County were able to get together and cooperate
and do what was necessary The municipalities have been very active and doing the things that have
to be done right away 508 inches of ram on October 27 and 28 in a ten-hour penod is undoub-
tedly the second worst rainfall they have ever had Dryden and Groton took the brunt of it but
there was damage throughout the county They have completed a preliminary assessment of the
damage and it has been forwarded to the New York State Office of Emergency Preparedness It
will be reviewed by that office which will make a recommendation to the Governor A week ago
Chairman Dates sent a letter to the Governor acknowledging that the Governor has declared
Tompkins County a disaster area for state purposes and asking that consideration be given for a
federal declaration New York State Department of Transportation was authorized by the Gover-
nor to assist municipalities and the impression was that they were authonzed to provide a general
service including stream cleanup and stream work of all kinds even if it involved private property
He said the Corp of Engineers have been here on several occasions They are offering technical
assistance They have been making surveys The Soil Conservation Service has been doing a sur-
vey and assessment of damage on streams and they are hopeful if there is a presidential declara-
tion, that there will be some help to assist with stream repair He has had one contact with the
Small Business Administration at the federal level They are standing by and will come into the
county when authonzed by their organizations The damage is 4 1/2 million dollars for public sec-
tor and 5 1/2 million dollars for private sector
Mr Mason said he received a report from Jack Miller, Fire and Disaster Coordinator, outlin-
ing the situation at the dispatch center dunng the emergency Mr Mason said the county ap-
propnated funds from revenue sharing for a new console at the dispatch center Mr Miller said
in his report that all equipment functioned perfectly with little or no delay in radio dispatch and
department's request for assistance through use of radio for NYSGE and others caused no problem
The use of many radio frequencies coordinated at Emergency Control worked well They have no
count of the number of phone calls but did dispatch the departments to 255 alarms from 10 p m
November 9, 1981 159
October 27 to 9 a m October 28 This was in addition to the hundreds of calls for assistance such
as flooded cellers, etc Mr Mason said as chairman of the Public Safety and Corrections Commit-
tee he would like to write a letter of appreciation to the people who donated their time to back
up the dispatcher and work at the Dispatch Center The system was put to a good test and did
lust what they wanted it to do
Chairman Dates also mentioned the outstandingob that the news media played in the emer-
gency Congressmen McHugh and Lee, Senator Smith, and Assemblyman MacNeil all took an ac-
tive part
William Mobbs, Commissioner of Public Works, reported there are still five budges out of ser-
vice and they are making arrangements to have them repaired The threat still exists if another
storm comes The bridges couldn't withstand even normal high flows
Mr Culligan, Chairman, Health Committee, said they met jointly with the Planning and Public
Works Committee and authonzed a resolution for today's agenda to advertise to go to bid and
engage an architect for Meadow House They now have a signed lease
Mr Culligan reported he attended a meeting of the Finger Lakes Association in Penn Yan last
Monday The Finger Lakes Association is the oldest tourism association in the United States It is
62 years old Tompkins County is one of the 14 counties in the contract He distributed a copy
from the New York State Department of Commerce estimating travel expenditures in this area for
1978 Of the 14 various areas of New York State that are organized for tourism and promotion of
outside business, the Finger Lakes is in third place behind New York City and LongIsland In
1978 Tompkins County's expenditures of travel were $23 9 million dollars The total Fnger Lakes
area came in at $1R billion dollars
Mr Marcham, Chairman, Intergovernmental Relations Committee, reported they met this
morning and most of the action is reflected in resolutions He reported Frank Liguori was called
upon to put together a bnef statement of histoncal description for the Supervisors and County
Legislators' Association magazine and he was able to get him assistance through the reference
librarian at the County Library He said sometimes the use of the library is overlooked He also
said they might be acting on the Youth Bureau plan narrative and the budget The next meeting
of the committee will be December 7th at 730 p m

ing on the 1982 Budget will be held November 16th at 730 p m and the Budget and Administra-

1981 ANNUAL REPORT
TOMPKINS COUNTY MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES DEPARTMENT
Anthony B. DeLuca, Director
The Tompkins County Mental Health Services provides mental hygiene services either directly
or through contract for the citizens of Tompkins County These services include planning and
evaluation as well as direct service in the areas of mental disabilities, developmental disabililities
and substance abuse
During 1981, the department continued to support the provision of local services to the
deinstitutionalized patient and those who were at risk of becoming long-term hospital patients be-
cause of the severity of their disability To this end, the department encouraged the establishment
of a state run Day Treatment Center for the Developmentally Disabled and concurrently, upgraded
the county functional maintenance program to provide day treatment services to the mentally dis-
abled Because of the state-wide, pnonty for service to this population, we were able to realize a
significant shift in funding at the countyday program from county to state support In addition,
the department initiated the creation of H 0 ME S an agency designed to consolidate planning and
administration of all mental hygiene community residences They are now incorporated, operating
residences for the mentally disabled, and in Apnl 1982 will assume responsibili for community
residences for the developmentally disabled currently run by the Mental Health Association

1981 ANNUAL REPORT
TOMPKINS COUNTY HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION
The Commission sponsored its first Annual Awards Dinner on January 15 The Award for ac-
complishment in human nghts was permanently named for Corinne Galvin whose commitment to
equal treatment in Tompkins County spans 43 years and who was the first president of the Human
Rights Commission
The Corinne Galvin award was presented jointly to James Gibbs and Anne Baldwin More than
170 persons attended the dinner
To the sadness of all, James Gibbs died a few weeks after this event Jim was active in the
founding of the Human Rights Commission and worked diligently on Commission activities for
many years Twenty years before, Dr King was arousing the nation to root out discnmination, Jim
was patiently knocking on the doors of area employers and urging them to end their whites -only
hiring policies He will be deeply missed and long remembered
During 1981, Sambo's Restaurant on the Elmira Road changed its name to No Place Like Sam's
The Black Caucus of Ithaca had filed a formal discrimination charge against the use of the name
Sambo's on the grounds that the, word had a long history, as a term derogatory to non -whites The
Commission joined the City of Ithaca and the Tompkins County Board of Representatives in call-
ing on Sambo's to change its name
During 1981, Commission member Steven Fellows spent a second full year working as a regular,
part-time volunteer in the Commission's DeWitt Building office His efforts have begun to bear
fruit ramps are replacing stairs, elevators are under construction in public buildings, well -marked
parking spaces for the disabled are appearing, and increasing numbers of disabled persons are ob-
taining parking permits that allow them to shop, eat, and conduct business without barriers
During the latter part of the year Steve developed a survey form to be distributed to local dis-
abled persons to find out which area restaurants they currently cannot enter but wish they could
During 1982, he will Work constructively with restaurant owners to help them to overcome the bar-
riers to entry of these individuals who wish to patronize their establishments
Dunng October, Steve organized Disability Awareness Day on the Ithaca commons Exhibits
and demonstrations were set up that informed the public of the nature of various disabling condi-
tions and of the kinds of work that county agencies do to lessen the burdens faced by the disabled
In August, the Commission took a public stand against the plans of the YMCA of Ithaca to
locate its new facility in the Village of Lansing The Commission argued that it was important to
place such a facility in a central location where it would attract members of all races, incomes, and
neighborhoods
During the early part of 1981 the Black Caucus of Ithaca and the City of Ithaca met with a
U S Justice Department mediator and developed an affirmative action plan for the City The plan
is currently being implemented This effort was made possible in part by the action of the Com-
mission Investigator in putting the Black Caucus and the City in touch with the mediation and con-
ciliation service of the Justice Department
The Black Caucus had publicly raised concerns about the numbers of nonwhites being hired by
the City The agreement eventually reached with the City called for the hinng of a one half-time
clerk to assist the City to reach the goals of its affirmative action plan
During August, the Police/Community Relations Committee of the Commission was established
with membership drawn from the Commission and the community The jparoup began working to
improve relations between uniformed police agencies and the community Four subcommittees were
set up 1) Use of Force and Firearms, 2) Education and Training 3) Review of Board of Police
Commissioners, and 4) Police and Community When these four areas have been looked at close-
ly, the group intends to work with the City in the area of hiring of blacks and women as uniformed

The Committee has focused its attention on relations with the Ithaca Police Department, and
has met with the Board of Police Commissioners, the Chief and Deputy Chief of Police, and the
Mayor

Staff Activities
During March, community access channel 13 aired a 60 -minute program on affirmative action
several times The Commission Investigator chaired the program, also appeanng were James Haas,
Personnel Director at NCR Corp , Michael Montgomery, Executive Director, Office of Equal Op-
portunity at Cornell, Prof Jenny Farley, I&LR Extension School, and Cal Walker, co-chair of the
Black Caucus of Ithaca
Dunng August, the Investigator and a work-study employee hired through Cornell Crvitas, began
conducting full investigations of complaints filed with the State Division of Human Rights The In-
vestigator is participating in these investigations on a time - available basis
The Direct Enforcement Project initiated by the Investigator resulted in eight complainants
receiving free attorney services dunng 1981 The Case Review Committee of the Commission met
periodically with the Investigator to decide which cases to refer to the area attorneys who volun-
teered to take one case free of charge for their time
The Investigator offered workshops in fair employment practices to

Discrimination Charges
The tables that follow show that total number of discrimination charges conciliated locally
dropped back to a levelust above that of 1979, the total of charges filed with the State Division
of human Rights rose sharply to its highest level since 1977, and the total number of inquines
Ition) about human nghts matter dropped from the 1980 level but remained well above the
The caseload of discrimination charges has remained relatively steady since the Investigator
began to work full time in early 1979 This parallels the state and national trends, which show
caseloads levelling off or rising only slowly, after more than a decade of sharp increases
This fact, plus the success in 1981 in using a work-study employee to conduct field investiga-
tions, means that the pressing need for additional staff to do the work required by the County
Charter has eased for the first time since the position of Investigator was created in 1975 In ad-
dition, the Investigator successfully used the volunteer services of RSVP to handle occasional typing
overloads This fact, in addition to a 24-hour answenng service, has meant that the need for cleri-
cal staff has also eased

ANNUAL REPORT
TOMPKINS COUNTY SHERIFF' S DEPARTMENT
Robert L. Howard, Sheriff
(Detailed report on file in the Clerk's Office)
I herewith submit the annual report of activities of the Tompkins County Shenffs Department
for the year 1981
Data on reportable offenses as shown on computer readout sheets provided by the Division of
Criminal Justice Services show that in the first nine months of 1981, Tompkins County had a total
of 4,093 reportable cnmes This was a decrease of forty-nine from the same period of time in 1980
The Sheriff's Department handled 1,035 of these crimes The remainder was investigated by all
other agencies in the county
Our detective division recovered stolen property valued at S162,218 87 The traffic division is-
sued 2,325 summonses for traffic violations Fines levied by town justices for these traffic violations
totaled S38,903 00 Our civil office collected $482,317 34 total receipts in 1981
Road patrols investigated 1,053 accidents during the year There were 1,526 vehicles involved
in these accidents, 542 people were injured and there was a total of fifteen fatalities
Theail population was up slightly from 1980 when 950 mates and 153 females were remanded
Dunng 1981, the total was 963 males and 158 females With this increase 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 asrescribed by the State Comnission
of Corrections The Public Safety Committee has been notifiedofthis problem and taken steps to
correct some of the violations
Concerned citizens volunteered many hours of time to jail programs dunng the year The Jail
Program Committee, OAR, Fnends of the Library, Quakers, and others supplied these hours of
volunteer time I am most appreciative of their help
Cooperation from all area police was more noticeable than ever in 1981 This was partial due
to monthly meetings of the Tompkins County Law Enforcement Administrators Group This group
jointly sponsored a basic training course this past fall when twenty-five new police officers were
trained in basic police work.
Volunteer fire companies and fire police were most helpful to our department in fire and ac-
cident 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 1981
luvenile Pmgrattt
One of the major concerns of the community during 1981 was juvenile delinquency The Shenff's
Department's Juvenile Officer handled 150 juvenile cases dunng the year There were a total of
fifty-two cases presented to the courts The remainder were handled by department personnel with
the cooperation of the schools and parents Many programs presented by various agencies, we feel,
help to keep the total juvenile cases from being much higher The Sheriff's Department contributes
to the programs through it's Junior Deputy Program in which more than 800 area sixth graders
participate each year The Bottom Line Program is offered to seventh and eighth graders throw
the cooperation of the Greater Ithaca Activities Center This program is a law related education-
al program presented at the schools The Shenff's Department's Explorer Post is somewhat inac-
tive at the present time due to the busy programs of the young people that have been involved
We hope to get this program more active dunng 1982 with some new members This will involve
a training program and it is hoped that our graduates from the 1980 Post will help train the new
members
Juvenile Arrests_ Total cases - 116, Cases handled within department and released to parents,
etc - 64, Cases referred to Juvenile Court - 52

Navigation Report.
The Shenff s Department actively enforced the Navigation Laws on Cayuga Lake dunng the
summer of 1981 This patrol, we feel, kept the boating accidents on the lake to a minimum In our
patrol area of the lake only one accident occurred There were no personal mlunes and only minor
property damage Our patrol Issued twelve summonses for violations of the Navigation Law and
all entered a plea of guilty Many other boaters were stopped and given a safety inspection for
equipment Warnings were given for minor violations There were over seventy-five assists given
to boaters for various life and safety reasons Four vessels were reported lost or stolen by their
owners $8,450 00 worth of property was recovered by the boat patrol Twenty regattas were
patrolled by the patrol boat at the request of the Ithaca Yacht Club and the Power Squadron The
patrol boat needed only minor Inexpensive repairs this season and should give the county many
more years of service

1981 ANNUAL REPORT
TOMPKINS COUNTY LIBRARY
Submitted by Lajos Mezgar, Director
Over the years use of the Tompkins County Public Library has been increasing and 1981 was
no exception Patron visits went up from 273,891 to 288,931 an increase of 5.5% while circulation
of library matenals went from 463,256 to 470,664, an increase of 1 6% Use of information/reference
services increased 4 4% with number of questions increasing from 15,632 to 16,320
Due to the bidding process the installation and implementation of the computerized bibliog-
raphic and circulation control system has been delayed although these processes will take place
dunng 1982 Our major task dunng the coming year will be to implement the automation system
thereby vastly improving the quality of our services for the rest of the century The implementa-
tion will stretch our capabilities to the limit For that reason, we are not going to try to introduce
new services or new types of media dunng 1982 Rather, we will limit our programming efforts
(concerts, films, cable TV, etc) to those which will require minimum staff involvement and/or can
be carried out by able volunteers
A minor reorganization of the staff offices took place during 1981 to increase efficiency as well
as staff availability in public areas
Successful programming activities continued throughout the year as can be seen in the Adult
and Children's Services reports
Unfortunately 1981 also saw the emergence of a number of difficulties Average non-fiction
book pnces are now up to $22 48 while average fiction pnces have nsen to $12 46 The average
paperback now costs $5 71
These price increases make it more and more difficult for the library to provide the books our
patrons want and need The budget fust cannot keep pace with inflation This is a situation which
certainly will get worse especially as the constant escalation of utility costs draws resources away
from book purchasing
Donations of books are not the solution except in the case of literary classics which can be used
to replace worn copies Our patrons need the most up-to-date materials to keep pace with the fast
changing world
Another senous problem to emerge during the year was an increase of improper use of the
library This includes a disturbing nse in cases of vandalism Our public restrooms were a frequent
target with the result that they were rarely in proper condition Several times they even had to be
completely closed down for costly repairs
More and more indigent people have begun using the library facilities in place of a residence
This is a situation which annoys our regular patrons and creates numerous problems for the staff
As a tax supported public institution we cannot deny use of our facilities to people unless we can
prove vandalism or vagrancy Unfortunately we do not have the time or the qualified staff to do
either At this point we can only hope that our regular patrons will understand our predicament
Even with these problems the library was able to provide good service to our public on a con-
sistent basis This was due to the dedication and hard work of our staff
I would like to thank the Library Board for their guidance and the Tompkins County Board of
Representatives for their support of our automation project
The Fnends of the Tompkins County Public Library continued to support our programming
and pilot projects and their volunteers contnbuted 2,012 hours for which we are very grateful
1982 will be a year of challenge for us We are looking forward to it

1981 ANNUAL REPORT
TOMPKINS COUNTY ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT COUNCIL
INTRODUCTION
The Tompkins County Environmental Management Council (EMC) and the Department of
Planning (TCDP) are the pnmary County -level agencies which are officially responsible for en-
vironmental review A close working relationship has been established between the two organiza-
tions to ensure effective environmental planning without overlap or conflict A TCDP staff per-
son acts as Council Coordinator and handles professional and administrative responsibilities and
communication Clerical and secretarial assistance for the Council and additional graphic assis-
tance is also provided by TCDP staff The Council relates directly to the County Board of Rep-
resentatives through the Planning and Public Works Committee as does the Department of Plan-
ning
ORGANIZATION
The Tompkins County Environmental Management Council was established by a Resolution of
the Board of Representatives on May 10, 1971 which recognized that such a Council could aid
in the "preventation and improvement of the quality of the natural and man-made environment
within the County of Tompkins (which) is of increasing and vital importance to the health,
welfare and economic well-being of the present and future Inhabitants of the County"'
The Objectives of the Council are
(1) To serve as County environmental information center with respect to all matters affecting
the environment and natural resources of the County
(2) To Review and Recommend, for consideration by action groups, all matters affecting the en-
vironment and natural resources of the County
(3) To assist in the Coordination, of activities, data and expertise in matters of environmental
concern
(4) To act as a Public Forum and provide Educational materials and information to foster a
broader understanding of environmental issues and their possible solutions
In carrying out these objectives the Council is to "advise the Board of Representatives on mat-
ters affecting the preservation, development and use of the natural features and conditions of
the County insofar as they have a bearing on environmental quality and, in the case of man's ac-
tivities and developments, with regard to any threats posed to environmental quality, so as to en-
hance the long range value of the environment to the people of the County"'
'Tompkins County Board of Representatives Resolution No 103 passed May 10, 1971
Members of the Council are appointed by the Board of Representatives for two year terms and
represent each city, village and town (16 positions), specific county agencies and organizations
(6
positions), and 14 at -targe members The Council also includes 6 non-voting, ex officio mem-
rs
The Board of Representatives appoints the Chairperson, the Council elects at its Annual Meet-
ing a Vice Chairperson, Secretary and seven additional members to serve on its Executive Com-
mittee This Committee is responsible for the administration of Council activities
SOI .11.) WASTF,
The Council has been very active in the area of Solid Waste disposal throughout the past year
Not only did the Council comment on the State's Draft Solid Waste Management Plan, but
members also took an active role in studying Tompkin's County's and the City of Ithaca's Solid
Waste disposal or recycling options
The new state regulations under part 360 of the conservation law will affect waste disposal op-
tions, and have a significant impact on the cost of waste disposal The result will be environmen-
tally salutary, but it will require a total reevaluation of our existing waste stream and disposal
methodologies
Currently, the county makes use of two landfills One, operated by the County Department of
Public Works, is located on Caswell Road in the Town of Dryden and is expected to be closed
in 1985 This site serves approximately 46% of the County's residents, generally the north-
eastern section of the County The second site is the Landstrom site in the Towns of Danby
266 Tompkins County, New York
and Spencer Landstrom serves the remaining county population, and could potentially be ex-
panded to take the remainder of the county's waste upon closure of the Caswell Road landfill
Negotiations are underway between William Landstrom and the Department of Environmental
Conservation to expand the landfill and bring it into Part 360 compliance, and between
Landstrom and the County to renew its contract Investigations are also underway for other
suitable disposal sites
Because of the assured increase in the County's waste disposal costs, the City of Ithaca, the
County, and the Environmental Management Council have begun to examine resource recovery
options in greater detail Over the past six years the County has been investigating energy
recovery from solid waste generated through a Tn-County area Tompkins County produces
enough waste to warrant consideration of a resource recovery facility Feasibility studies on a
county -wide waste -to energy conversion facility have also been performed
The Environmental Management Council's Committee on Solid Waste developed and ad-
ministered a questionnaire on Source Separation The survey was submitted to randomly
selected residents throughout the County, in order to determine communities' and residents' at-
titudes towards the practice of source separation of recyclables The statistics were used to ob-
tain a rough estimate of the interest in or possible commitment to the establishment of the prac-
tice in the future
The Committee on Solid Waste actively participated in the development of a preliminary report
to the Ithaca Common Council on the feasibility of an improved city-wide recycling system The
Ithaca Recycling Task force, which prepared the report, analyzed past and current recycling ac-
tivities, and several different options for future programs, including funding options for 50%
reimbursement of eligible program costs under the State Environmental Quality Bond Act of
1972
A county -wide solid waste management plan, which includes recycling, is expected to be com-
pleted this year
GYPSY MOTH PRO . AM
In 1981, the Gypsy Moth population in Tompkins County sharply increased, resulting in defolia-
tion of 9,000 acres of land and increased concern by residents The Environmental Management
Council, along with the Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the United States
Department of Agriculture, the County Board of Representatives, and the general public, has
for the past two years monitored and reviewed existing information and program proposals for
Gypsy Moth Control
The EMC opposed APHIS'S 1981 regulatory program in Tompkins County, which involved the
ground spraying of campgrounds in Treman and Buttermilk Falls State Parks with the pesticide
In the Judgment of the EMC, the APHIS spraying program was not demonstrably effective in
retarding the spread of Gypsy Moths to uninfested areas of the U S The Council expressed a
need for further research to berformed on the cost and effectiveness of vanous treatment
programs, and the Tong -term effects of Gypsy Moth infestation
The Council also recommended developing an educational program to disseminate control and
management information to the general public within the county
In response, the Tompkins County Board of Representatives has adopted a plan for Gypsy
Moth education and assistance and is providing funding for a program to be coordinated by the
Tompkins County Planning Department, Tompkins County Cooperative Extension, and the En-
vironmental Management Council The plan outlines an integrated pest management approach,
to help residents and municipalities make informed decisions on control strategies
In 1982, informational programs and educational matenal will be distnbuted to the media and
individuals concerning the nature of the infestation, the gypsy moth life cycle, population con-
trol options - their advantages and disadvantages, and minimizing the impact to defoliated trees
Tompkins County Cooperative Extension will be installing a telephone hotline, to be staffed
with volunteers Public information meetings will be held in early 1982 in town meetings
throughout the county
TOMTRAN
TOMTRAN is a multimodal, multi -agency, countywide transportation program that is coor-
dinated by the Tompkins County Planning Department The program incorporated carpooling
and park-and-nde lots with Jitney lines and bus service to provide transportation services to out-
lying areas within the county Despite some funding difficulties, TOMTRAN extensions are ex-
pected to be carned out in the Fall of 1982
Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 267
The Council is a strong supporter of the TOMTRAN plan In September, 1981, the EMC for-
mally expressed its support of the plan, and commended the Commissioner of the County Plan-
ning Department, Frank Liguori, on his efforts to promote the program
WASTE OIL RECYCIING
Tompkins County Environmental Management Council is currently in the process of implement-
ing a waste oil recycling program that was developed in `1981 The program would help to imple-
ment New York State's "Used Oil Law" of 1978, which encourages the statewide recycling and
reuse of motor and lubricating oils
The Environmental Management Council's waste oil recycling program is aimed at "do-it-your-
selfers" - people who change their own automotive oil, who may not be aware of the hazardous
properties of waste oil Traditionally, that waste oil has been illegally and improperly disposed
of - into storm sewers, in ditches, roadsides, and municipal landfills Individuals dumping the oil
never thought about the pollution that dumping "lust that little bit of oil" could cause, nor
thought about the collective environmental impact of several such acts
The Environmental Management Council recycling program will educate the public to the ef-
fects of improperly disposed oil, and the pnnciples of recycling used oil A county wide system
of waste oil collection points has been established Sixteen service stations have volunteered to
act as collection centers for the Greater Ithaca area, and additional sites have been added to
serve the outlying municipalities within the county
SEA i .AMPRFY CONTROL ,
Tompkins County Environmental Management Council is worlung to review the New York
State Department of Environmental Conservation's lamprey control data and its lamprey con-
trol proposals for Cayuga Lake This year, DEC has compiled considerable data on Cayuga
Lake netting operations, fish scamng and attack data However, to date DEC has drawn no con-
clusions from this data The agency is currently in the process of reviewing and updating its
final Environmental Impact Statement on the proposed control operations Treatment of the
Seneca Lake system, in any case, is expected to be performed in the late summer/early Fall of
1982
DEC has made no final decision as to whether Cayuga Lake will be treated or not If it will be,
DEC proposed to begin treatment in the fall of 1983 The Council will be working to inform all
interested members of the Community of DEC'S further proposals, and to involve them in fu-
ture public comment phases in the decision making process
CONTAINER DEPOSIT .EGiSLATION
In 1981, both the Council and the County Board of Representatives passed resolutions support-
ing the proposals before the State Legislature to enact beverage container deposit controls
FRESHWATER WF.TIANDS
As part of its state-imposedresponsibilities under the Article 47 of State Environmental Conser-
vation Law, Tompkins County EMC is in the process of prepanng a wetland inventory The
Freshwater Wetland Law was enacted by the New York State legislature for the purpose of
preserving, protecting and conserving freshwater wetlands and their associated bene tits These
benefits include flood and storm control, protection of sub -surface water resources, pollution
treatment, erosion control, sources of educational and scientific research, preservation of
wildlife habitats and nutnent sources, sources of recreation and provision of open space The
law encourages municipalities to adopt procedures which require a permit to conduct regulated
activities which alter the state of a wetland greater than 12 4 acres or its adjacent areas
The Council is continuing its inventory, and expects to complete it in the fall of 1982 The inven-
tory will be used to propose areas that will be subject to regulation under New York State's
Freshwater Wetlands law The County will submit its final maps to NYS DEC, which will then
hold hearings in the proposals
FAST ITHACA CORRIDOR PROJECT
On March 11, 1982 the Council accepted a report from a special Council Committee on the
East Ithaca Circulations Study and the proposed East Ithaca Connector The proposed Connec-
tor is a two-phase project that would improve alignment and therefore traffic safety on existing
East Hill roads, and would also entail the construction of short segments of new roads, in an ef-
fort to improve the North-South traffic flow in Ithaca's East Hill area
The Committee report recommends future study and action on environmental concerns that
may be raised by the project Formal environmental impact statement proceeding, which the
Council will be monitoring further, will be begun in Spnng of 1982
268 Tompkms County, New York
AIRPORT DEER HAZARD
As in 1980, safety at Tompkins County Airport was threatened by the presence of roving deer
Deer gravitated to the open areas near the airport, presenting a hazard to approaching
airplanes Two possible solutions were proposed in 1981- either the construction of a deer fence
around the airport, or scheduling a special deer hunt The EMC discussed the environmental
ramifications of both proposals, but no decision was ultimately reached Funding for construc-
tion of a deer fence was approved by the County in mid -1981, and the fence has been com-
pleted
J F.HIGH VAI .1 FY RIGHT-OF-WAY
The EMC extended its assistance to the Villages of Dryden and Groton in studying the develop-
ment potential of the nght-of-way The Council also helped to provide suggestions for problems
ansing from public ownership of the land
CU ACCELERATOR CONSTRUCTION[
The Council has been actively participating in and following the progress of Cornell University's
proposal to build an accelerator ring Possible environmental concerns are the project's impact
on sensitive environmental areas wetlands, hydrology and water use, transportation and support
facilities Both Cornell and the Council have actively encouraged public participation and com-
ment on the project The Council will continue to participate in project review in 1982
ITHACA FAT .I S HYDROPOWFR PLANT PROPOSAi
The EMC has been monitoring the development of several proposals to generate hydropower
from Ithaca Falls Based on currently existing license applications pending before the Federal
Energy Regulatory Committee, the Council expressed support for Cornell University 's proposal
The Council judged the overall environmental impact of Cornell's proposal to be more accept-
able The Council will continue its involvement with the project throughout the upcoming year
SIX MILE CREEK
An ongoing concern of the Council has been the need to develop a management plan for Six
Mile Creek This interest has become renewed particularly as a result of the flooding in Oc-
tober of 1981 Residential concern over stream management policies has grown
FAi .I . CREEK
In 1981 the Council learned that Fall Creek was not included by the U S Department of the In -
tenor on the list of possible inclusions to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers Program The
Department concluded that the resource values of the general area were not of national sig-
nificance The options of New York State or local regulations to protect the Fall Creek
resource still remain a possibility
INi.FT DREDGINC1
The EMC was actively involved in investigating the environmental considerations of proposals
to dredge Cayuga Inlet and deposit the spoils on nearby land A special Committee reported on
the scope, scale, and impacts of the project, as well as the applicability of SEQRA to the
project
COUNCIL REORGANIZATION[
FMC BYLAWS
At the request of the County Committee of Planning and Public Works and the Executive Com-
mittee of the EMC, staff drafted a report which analyzed and compared New York State En-
vironmental Conservation law, Article 47, County Resolution #103, and EMC bylaws The pur-
pose of the review is to examine the consistency of the local laws with the State Iegtslation, and
to recommend changes where necessary to improve the effective operation of the Council
The analysis revealed that there were generally no areas of major conflict among the three law
However, there were some minor areas of confusion The Council resolved to request the Coun-
ty Attorney to seek advice from the New York State Attorney General's office in order to
clarify these issues

1981 ANNUAL REPORT
TOMPKINS COUNTY PROBATION DEPARTMENT
(Submitted by Lois Humphrey, Acting Director; John P. Beach and
Lois D. King, Probation Supervisors)
With the fiscal constraints becoming more severe at all levels ofrnment, probation has
come into focus increasingly as a cost effective service The defeat ofgithiee pnson bond issue has
necessitated further consideration of sentencing alternatives which would reduce population in an
overcrowded prison system Programs are being developed in the probation field which deal with
intensive supervision of adult and juvenile offenders and community service restitution
Dunng 1981 there were other developments at the state level which affected local probation
practice Based on 1980 legislation, probation officers are being trained to perform peace officer
functions Also, revision of certain sections of "Rules and Regulations for Probation" continued,
to be completed and implemented in 1982 Legislation was passed to further protect victims of
family violence, to institute the sentencing alternative of community service restitution, and to ap-
propriate money for programs in relation to driving while intoxicated
The mandated functions of probation investigation for the courts, supervision of persons placed
on probation by the courts, and family court intake procedures, constitute the bulk of our workload
Pretnal services such as criminal court diversion and release on recognizance or supervision are
also provided Probation services are supplemented by other county and private agencies which
supply specialized assistance
The Tompkins County Probation Department has been involved in developing several new
programs and concepts in the agency and the community during 1981 These will he discussed later
in this report and include STOP DWI, Performance Appraisal Review, Services Coordination, and
Situational Assessment

PERSONNEL HIGHLIGHTS
Dunng 1981 the professional staff remained the same as 1980 Lon Neiderman, typist, left to
further her education She was replaced by Sharon Collins, a former hospital employee Debra Kel-
ley, account clerk -typist, resigned near the year's end for other employment after five years of dedi-
cated service Bertha Mubbell transferred to that position from the County Clerk's Office
Former director, Donald Wilson, remains on leave Therefore, several temporary positions still
exist
The staff has participated in a total of approximately 650 hours of training dunng 1981 This
includes sessions held in Albany and regional training by the State Division of Probation, as well
as some local seminars We were pleased that clencal personnel were offered a workshop by the
State Division which Tompkins County hosted in a one -day regional meeting, and all four of our
Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 275
clencal workers attended Two of our probation officers participated in the new Peace Officer
Training now mandated for officers hired after September 1, 1980
Lack of staff turnover and the dedication and dependability of our people have combined to
make 1981 a very productive year Because of the stability it has been possible to begin work on
new projects which have been planned for some time
INVESTIGATION AND SUPERVISION
Both Cnminal Court Unit and Family Court Unit conduct investigations and supervise persons
placed under supervision by the courts These probation functions are mandated by law and con-
stitute the largest percentage of our agency work load ,
The Family Court Unit deals pnmanly with investigations in custody, juvenile delinquency, per-
sons in need of supervision, support, and family offense complaints Most supervision is provided
to youngsters under age 16, but may, in a few instances, include adults, resulting from court action
in family matters Dunng 1981, 158 investigations were completed for family court, a 33% decrease
from 1980, but about average for the four years preceding 1980 Family court-ordered supervision
cases showed a 9% increase in number over 1980
The Criminal Court Unit serves County Court, Ithaca City Court, and 20 justice courts This
service includes investigation and supervision of adult offenders There was a slight decrease in the
number of investigations completed in 1981 (377) as compared to 1980 These consisted of 146
felony cases and 231 misdemeanor cases Total number of probationers supervised in 1981 was 385,
holding steady from 1980 Client profile of new cases received for adult criminal supervision during
1981 is as follows

INTAKE
The number of Intakes increased in most categories in 1981 Support rasps were up by 23, cus-
tody cases were also up by 23, JD cases were down this year, dropping from 210 in 1980 to 153 in
1981 PINS cases were up by 12, Paternity down 3, Family Offenses stayed the same at 69 cases,
and Conciliation cases were up to 4 this year
It was our goal, for this year, to adjust more cases Unfortunately we were not able to reach
that goal Of the total number of cases opened on Intake this year (586), only 288, or 49%, were
adjusted, compared with a 51% adjustment rate in 1980 It would appear, from our calculations,
that the adjustment rate was down because of the Increased % of PINS referrals which went direct-
ly to petition Last year (1980) 53% of PINS referrals went to petition, compared to a figure of
63% this year It is believed that this increase is due to the more severe problems that children
are being referred for, and the necessity of Court intervention to provide the services necessary
for their special needs In cooperation with other Tompkins County service agencies we are at-
276 Tompkins County, New York
tempting to find alternatives for young people with special needs for whom we believe the Court
is not appropriate
COURT LIAISON
Our department's Sr Probation Officer, whose job responsibilities are with the Family Court
Unit (intake, investigation, supervision) has an extra duty which provides a very interesting high-
light to the job, we call it court liaison This part of the job involves sitting in on all juvenile mat-
ters before the Court, taking notes of those proceedings, and in general, representing the Proba-
tion Department At times, in such matters, the judge or attorneys may need some information
about probation or other community agencies In addition, as court liaison, the Sr Probation Of-
ficer must help coordinate detention by checking with secure and non -secure detention facilities
for openings, advising the court and county attorney of where spaces are available when theudge
orders a youth to detention, and making sure all the necessary paper work is done for the deten-
tion facility The Sr Probation Officer is responsible, too, for arranging transportation, with the
Sheriff's Department, for those juveniles in Court going to detention and those in detention com-
ing in to Court During 1981 the newly elected County Judge William Barrett served the entire
year in Family Court
PRETRIAL SERVICES
MISDEMEANOR DIVERSION
Dunng the year 1981, there were three hundred and thirty-three cases referred to the Diver-
sion Program, an 8% increase over 1980 Of these, thirty-three either refused the program or were
found to be ineligible Programs were started for the remaining three hundred and of these twen-
ty-six were returned to court for vanous reasons, such as failure to keep appointments, not follow-
ing stipulations of their programs or being arrested for a new crime In 1981, two hundred and two
cases were dismissed for having successfully completing the program Forty-seven (or 13%) of these
were re -arrested later for a new charge Our success rate for the year was 87%
PROJECT HOLD (FELONY DIVERSION)
In 1981 we increased the number of cases that could be accepted into the program to twenty-
five This is an increase of five cases over 1980 At the beginning of the year we had sixteen cases
carried over from the previous year and dunng 1981 we received nineteen new referrals for a total
of thirty-five cases Of the thirty-five cases that were in the program, five were found to be in-
eligible and five were returned for various reasons At the end of 1981 twelve cases were terminated
as having successfully completed the program There were thirteen cases carred over into 1982
For two of welfare fraud cases received dunng 1981, Project Hold was able to collect substantial
restitution payments for the Department of Social Services $311 00 and $400 00, this rather than
have deductions of 10% taken from the individuals' Social Services grants -
NEW PROGRAMS 1981
PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL REVIEW
In mid 1981 supervisors, probation officers, and director met with Merlin Lewis of the State
Division Training staff to begin an evaluation project which will likely span several years of prepara-
tion This process is designed to develop an employee evaluation system based on mutual objec-
tives Each employee will be involved in developing standards for his/her job so that he/she and
the supervisors may have a basis for measunng job performance This type of evaluation process,
while time-consuming to develop, allows for input of every employee and becomes the consensus
of all these opinions
This process involves prepanng a list of major tasks in each Lob classification and the major
activities in each task From these lists standards are developed Because probation officers con-
stitute the largest group in one classification, we began the process with that group Once we have
become familiar with each step, we should be better able to complete the descnption of all other
positions We expect that the resulting evaluation tool will be of considerable use in improving
employee performance, as a means of identifying training needs, as a method of gathenng employee
suggestions for agency improvement, and as an aid to clarifying and setting pnonties of job com-
ponents

SERVICES COORDINATION
The Services Coordination Pioject was initiated through cooperation of several agencies at the
State level New York State Division of Probation, New York State Social Services, and New York
State Council on Children and Families Funding was obtained through a one year grant to ex-
amine how preventive services might be provided most effectively to Juvenile Delinquents and Per-
sons In Need of Supervision with an emphasis on faster delivery, improved quality, and elimina-
tion of duplication Tompkins County was chosen as one of several `demonstration sites" for the
project
Local agency administrators have met periodically to explore how their activities may be stream-
lined and coordinated at the county level Representatives from state agencies have met with each
other and have joined us on a few occasions to discuss changes which might be made at the state
level to facilitate local streamlining, and to transmit our questions and requests to Albany
It is probable that our local group will continue to function after state funding/involvement has
terminated We have found that, communication has improved among agencies and that we have
been able to develop processes for working together for the benefit of all Presently we are ex-
amining several models for networking of youth services Agencies involved at the local level are
Department of Social Services, Family and Children's Service, Ithaca School Distnct, New York
State Division for Youth, Tompkins County Mental Health Clinic, Tompkins County Youth Bureau,
Ithaca City Youth Bureau, Broome Developmental Center, and Probation
SITUATIONAL ASSESSMENT
This year, the Probation Department in conjunction with Dr David Thompson of the Mental
Health Clinic, began a study to determine if a structured, objective observational instrument could
have viable application to the various functions that probation officers perform Such a device could
conceivably be used in a situational assessment process, as an adjunct to court-ordered investiga-
tions and psychological evaluations, a precursor to on-going intervention by the Probation Depart-
ment or a Mental Health practitioner, and as a tool for assessing the effectiveness of on-going in-
tervention
The evaluation of human behaviors/interactions in a non -clinic setting has, historically, involved
observation -recording processes that were logistically cumbersome and quite subject to the percep-
tions of the observer As a result, the validity and reliability of studies based upon these methods
were often called into question by an increasing number of behavioral scientists who maintained
that an objective, quantifiable, and consistent observational system would yield more accurate find-
ings
In the early 1960's, a group of social scientists at the Oregon Research Institute (now known
as the Oregon Social Learning Center) began the development of an observational system that
would be relatively easy to use, cheaper to conduct, and more accurate than previous methods As
an adjunct to psychological intervention, the intended system was to provide 1) data -based infor-
mation regarding the nature of family interactions, 2) the frequency at which certain behaviors oc-
curred, and 3)a "cause -effect" analysis of pathological familyinteraction The information thus
gathered, ovea period of time, would be ued to 1) delineate areas that require intervention, 2)
monitor the effectiveness of on-going therapy, and 3) provide a comparative basis for post -therapy
evaluation of the intervention techniques One of the specific systems which evolved is known as
the Family Interaction Coding System (FICS) FICS is composed of twenty-nine behavior categones
(for example Crying, Attention, Humiliation, and Laughing) - each of which is strictly defined and
symbolized by code letters (for example, the act of crying would be recorded as "CR") The code
is used by an observer to record as many behavioral interactions as possible within the Subject's
natural environment Timed observational intervals allow the research to later compute the fre-
quency of any given behavior's occurrence
Thus far, it has been determined that the original coding system will have to be modified in
some respects so as to better conform with time, training, and financial constraints However, some
changes have been made, and a continued feasibility study is planned

STOP -DWI
It has Been reported that over one-half of all vehicular fatalities in New York State involve a
drunk driver The continued severity of this situation coupled with recent increased public concern,
has led the State legislature to take further steps to protect its citizens from the needless and tragic
deaths and mjunes which result from drunk drivingEffective November 28, 1981 the legislature
established a `Special Traffic Options Program for Driving While Intoxicated " (STOP -DWI)
Under the direction of Frank Liguori, Planning Commissioner and STOP -DWI Interim Coor-
dinator, our department actively participated on the County STOP -DWI Ad Hoc Committee This
committee began meeting in late 1981 and was instrumental in developing the County STOP -DWI
program plan, organization plan, by-laws for the advisory board, and the first year action plan
We look forward to working with the STOP -DWI coordinator during the coming year in an at-
tempt to implement a variety of programs addressing the problem of the dnnking driver
SUMMARY
The year of 1981 has not shown a large gain in total workload over 1980 though we have seen
slight increases in some areas Our staff has remained fairly constant over the past year lending
the stability necessary for implementing new programs and improving existing services
Our goals for 1982 include further development of our evaluation system and services coor-
dination project Also, we shall be implementing new rules of the State Division of Probation and
providing training for staff to accomplish this Preparation of our department procedure manual,
which has been delayed, can now move forward once the rules are finalized Several of our exist-
ing services such as family court intake, criminal court diversion, and financial investigation will be
reviewed to determine if some adjustments may improve delivery Our primary overall goal con-
tinues to be meeting the needs of our clients, the courts, and the community to the best of our
ability

Social Services - "Welfare" - is financial aid and services given to needy families and individuals,
who qualify for it under the Federal Social Secunty Act and the New York State Social Services
Law
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
There are three financial programs, namely, (1) Public Assistance, which is divided into ADC, HR,
EAF and EAA (2) Medicaid and (3) Food Stamps
I PUBLIC ASSISTANCE (PA)
Public Assistance is the only program that authorized cash payments to recipients This program
provides funds under four categones of assistance, namely, Aid to Dependent Children (AOC),
Home Relief (HR), Emergency Aid to Families (EAF) and Emergency Aid to Adults (EAA)
Aid to Dependent Children (ADC) is financial assistance given to a family with minor children,
without sufficient means of support because of the absence, death, unemployment or incapacity of
a parent This is the largest direct assistance (cash) program administered by this department
Home Relief (HR) is assistance for single individuals and childless couples '
Emergency Aid to Families (EAF) is assistance for families to meet a one-time financial crisis

EAF 13 cases
TOTAL 1,065 cases
II MEDICAID (MA)
Medical Assistance (MA) is a program that pays medical bills in whole or in part for New York
State residents who can not pay the cost of such medical care In this program, money is not given
to the eligible recipients, but rather the departmentpays for the needed medical care directly to
the provider of the medical service, i e , doctor, hospita , nursing home, drug store, etc
The average monthly caseload in 1981 was 1,939 cases per month
III FOOD STAMPS (FS)
The Food Stamp Program is designed to increase the food purchasing power for eligible individuals
and families Depending on factors such as income and size of family, it is determined that a fami-
ly will be eligible for a certain number of free food stamps Free food stampsare obtained at par-
ticipating banks and can be redeemed for food at any store that accepts fod stamps The Food
Stamp Program costs Tompkins County nothing, since all costs are borne by the Federal and State
Government
The average monthly caseload in11981 was 839 public assistance cases per month and 1,272 non-
public assistance cases per month
IV HOME ENERGY ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (HEAP)
The Home Energy Assistance Act of 1981 (Title III of Public Law 92-223) authorizes grants to
states to provide funds to eligible households to help pay the cost of home energy that is exces-
sive in relation to household income
Eligibility is based on circumstances for the entire calendar month in which the household filed an
application No assets test is required Levels of assistance is based on a matrix that considers the
weather in the region, differences in fuel type and household size
280 Tompkins County, New York
Tompkins County reserved $ 7,600 of its allocation for an emergency fund Such funds are avail-
able to obtain energy necessary to operate heating equipment, to repair or maintain heating equip-
ment to assure safe operation and/or for emergency shelter or relocation
The maximum gross income allowed a family of four to receive assistance from this program is
$1,056 00 per month A total of $89,529 was expended for this program in 1981
SERVICES DIVISION
To comply with New York State Department of Social Service regulations, the Services Division
completed a Consolidated Plan which included four major plans, namely, Title XX Plan, Child
Protective Services Plan, Family and Children's Plan and Protective Services for Adults Each plan
involves demographic and statistical analysis, trends, predictions, resource analysis, problem areas,
specific goals and estimates of costs In addition, the plans required community input and public
heanngs

institutional Placement Services (PISP), Community Support Services Cases (CSS)
GA cases are those needing help with housing, 0.5 intakes per month, alcoholic/drug problems,
21 intakes per month, education 13 intakes per month, emancipation, 01 new cases per month,
training/employment 13 new cases per month There was an average of 47 7 on-going GA cases
per month
PSA involves investigation of reports of persons (abused, neglected, -exploited) in need of protec-

reviews cases of all potential releases before discharge Serving on the team are representatives
from Mental Health Services, Meadow House, Challenge, Social Services, and other agencies and
professionals, if their services might be needed upon discharge of clients from an institution to the
community There was an average of 1 1 new cases per month and 72 8 undercare cases per month
OS involves services funded by the State Office of Mental Health for the chronically and mental-
ly disabled, who have been hospitalized for six months or more and who do not have a primary
diagnosis of developmental disability, or who have had three or more admissions of two weeks or
more duration within the past two years or who have had three or more months of cumulative
hospitalization within the past two years
Services are to enable persons to function in the community
These cases average 14 new cases per month and 713 undercare cases per month Between 55-60
clients a month pick up 400-460 checks wntten by this agency in the capacity of protective payee
or conservator for the clients The number fluctuates as clients re -inter psychiatric centers for a

cy has about six informational meetings a year to explain to people inqumng about adoption, the
kind of children available, what is involved in the studies, etc For those who wish to continue with
studies, there were 2 groups of 9 sessions each this year Combined with the group studies are
several individual interviews If a family wishes to adopt a child under 2 years of age, only individual
studies are done
The Adoptive Families Association volunteers assist in the group studies, i e they lead some ex-
ercises, give parenting skill demonstrations They also provide on-goinsupport as couples raise
questions, and provide help with children with special problems The Association also has group
meetings for adoptive parents, after children are placed in adoptive homes There were 58 inquiries

Once a case is indicated, services are provided to the family, either directly by unit staff or by pur-
chase
Children placed in foster care for protection and the foster parents of these children are given ser-
vices by caseworkers in the unit
Two hundred sixty-five families with 503 children were reported to the State Central Register from
Tompkins County Thirty-two per cent involving 40 2 children were indicated cases Forty-eight per
cent of the families reported were families receiving Public Assistance The largest number reports
(64 7%) were received for non -mandated reporting such as family and neighbors, 11 1% from DSS
staff, 8 7% from schools, 7 1% from law enforcement, 2 4% from physicians and 8 0% from hospi-
tal, public health and mental health personnel

DSS served 793 inquines for information and referral, the contact agency 4064 inquiries
282 Tompkins County, New York
WELFARE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
The Welfare Management System (WMS) was installed m this agency This system changed com-
pletely our mode of operations WMS is a computer system that required extensive training of all
staff, especially examiners and caseworkers In addition, new staff were needed, namely three data
entry operators and a WMS Coordinator
The actual conversion from manual to computer operations took nine months Planning for this
change was completed in 1980 The conversion in this agency was on time and outstandingly trouble
free For this superior achievement this agency received written commendation from the NNew York
State Department of Social Services
WMS is a statewide computer system The system is a management tool capable of receiving, main-
taining, and processing information concerning persons who are eligible for Public Assistance, Medi-
cal Assistance, Food Stamps and Support Services
MEDICAL MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Once WMS was completely operational, the agency became part of the Medical Management In-
formation System (MMIS) WMS drives MMIS in that all information as to the eligibility of in-
dividual clients for Medicaid is obtained from WMS
MMIS is a state wide medical information system to improve administrative control over rising
Medicaid costs This system verifies the qualifications and eligibility of health care providers
receives, audits, and pays provider bills for eligible clients
The above functions were previously performed in this agency, so MMIS necessitated the elimina-
tion of nine positions from the medical/accounting unit
SUPPORT COLLECTION PROGRAM
This department collects court-ordered support monies The department also locates and obtains
court orders of su y.. rt from deserting parents of children receiving any forms ofublic assistance
In 1981, $220,676 11 was collected from parents of children recervrn any form ofassistanceNon-
public assistance parents living away from their children paid $538,140 00 in support monies to this
department to record and to distribute to the parent who is providing care for these children
FRAUD INVESTIGATION
There were 274 complaints/referrals, where fraud was suspected Of these, 86 complaints were suf-
ficient to support leg -al action Total monies collected through convictions, or signed confessions
of judgement was $6,571 Some judgments are still tied up in court, some monies are being recovered
through recoupment (deductions) from current grants, and other monies are paid directly to this
department Actual cash collected by this department was $9,882
The reports of stolen checks, ID cards and food stamps remain low, about one or two per month,
due to a very tight system of rntervieworg and investigating by this unit of all aspects of such reports
The unit has devised a "client affidavit form" which is used at each application and recertification
time This form certifies that the client is aware of his responsibilities relative to reporting chan-
ges in his situation to this department, and further the client certifies that the information he has
given in the application is correct This type of statement is a necessity if fraud prosecution is to
be initiated This form has been introduced to a statewide fraud investigation organization and
many counties now use this client affidavit form in their operations
Estimate of savings based on Investigative Unit involvement (conservative) is $45,000 , this amount
together with afore mentioned amounts bnngs a total savings to the agency of at least $71,103
Proceedmgs of the Board of Representatives 283
COUNTY HOME
As a unit of the Tompkins County Department of Social Services, the Tompkins County Home
and Farm are maintained to provide a controlled environment for persons, who are unable to func-
tion in a private setting The Home is an approved Domiciliary Care Facility under New York State
Department of Social Services, and one of two or three in New York State, which still operates its
farm The farm is to provide food for the Home and to provide therapy for those residents able
to participate The Home's location on the Perry City Road, Just off Route #96, makes it an ideal
place for the person with a rural background or the urbanite who appreciates the peace and tran-
quility of the countryside
The home provides food, shelter, special diets, when necessary; assistance with all activities of daily
living; and a therapeutic, recreational and diversionary activity program for all residents Care and
supervision are provided on a twenty-four hour basis
The Home provided 18,694 days of resident care dunng 1981

Tompkins County Youth Bureau
1981 Annual Report
Nancy Zahler Director
Introduction
The Tompkins County Youth Bureau is the county department charged with planning and coor-
dinating a wide range of youth services designed to promote the development of and prevent dehn-
quency among Tompkins County children and youth under the age of twenty-one The Youth
Bureau is guided by the County Youth Board, an active advisory board comprised of representatives
recommended by local municipalities and appointed by the County Board of Representatives
Each year, the Youth Bureau divides its' efforts among four pnmary responsibilities
1 Planning
2 Monitonng of Youth Programs Operated by Tompkins County Contract Agencies
3 Coordination
4 Technical Assistance to Agencies and Municipalities
An annual plan identifying youth needs and service pnonties must be developed by the Coun-
ty Youth Board, approved by the Board of Representatives and submitted to the New York State
Division for Youth to enable Tompkins County to be eligible to receive over $150,000 in match-
ing funds from the state The plan describes the existing services provided by the community and
the Youth Bureau The goals and objectives included in the plan represent this County's vision of
services needed by children, youth and families Each year, the County Youth Board uses the Com-
prehensive Plan to review and recommend which private agencies should receive a portion of the
County's matching funds to provide some of the services identified as pnonties
Progress Toward Pmgram Pnonties Inrluded in the 1981 Comprehensive Youth Services Plan
Through contracts with agencies the following objectives have been addressed It should be
noted that although a program may successfully fulfil its service goals, the needs may still exist
An individual program with limited resources cannot usually serve all of the youth in need or meet
all of the needs of youth served Until the Youth Bureau can improve its needs assessment and
evaluation capabilities, the measurement of goal attainment will be imprecise
NOTE. Specific activities and progress are detailed in each agencies annual report
