Chairman Dates called the meeting to order at the Tompkins County Library at 9 30 a m
Members and guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance
Present 14 Excused Representatives Robey and Watros — 2
Under privilege of the floor, Mrs Livesay announced a Social Trends and Economic Conference
to be held February 17 and 18 at the Sheraton Inn She encouraged board members to attend She
also spoke regarding the Consumer Protection Bureau She has been attending the task force meet-
ings The ongmal focus was for the two groups that are concerned, the Extension Service and In-
formation and Referral, to keep track of calls they get concerning consumer protection Coopera-
tive Extension put in an application for funding for consumerism but it was not granted The task
force made a decision at the last meeting that what is really needed is some kind of a code She
has sent County Attorney Williamson a copy of the code from the City of Syracuse for his opinion
about whether this board can adopt such a code It continues to be a concern and people are con-
tinuing to meet
Mr Ray reported that in the past this board has become involved in making a public stand on
telephone rate adjustments About three or four years ago a committee dealt with it and there was
an attempt to say to the Public Service Commission that Groton should be toll-free to Ithaca Some
time after that, they did make Groton a toll-free call Before the Public Service Commission now
is a recommendation from the New York Telephone Company that undoes that action and also
impacts every rural community It sets up a new tariff for all kinds of phone calls based on a mileage
circle for all calls being made so it would in essence cause possibly Newfield, Trumansburg, Lans-
ing and Caroline to start paying for calls to Ithaca Other rates would be lowered and the net result
to the telephone company would be zero in extra revenue He said even though the public hear-
ing is Thursday in Syracuse, he would like to have consideration given to this being assigned to the
Budget and Administration Committee
Chairman Dates asked if he could wnte a letter to the Public Service Commission reserving a
place to speak and at that time they take the attitude that all municipalities in Tompkins County
be able to call the City of Ithaca, the County Seat, without charge It was Moved by Mrs Nichols
that the Chairman be empowered, with the concurrence of the Budget and Administration Com-
mittee, to lobby for that Unanimously adopted Chairman Dates said he would write a letter with
the advice of the county attorney
Mr Ray said the rural representatives are probably aware of the problems the towns and vil-
lages are going through now in struggling with a mandate and a deadline of March 1 for implemen-
tation of a fire or building code If they do not do that, they will automatically have the Fire and
Building Code of the State of New York The county had a meeting in December with municipalities
and had a good attendance They have reminded municipalities that since the county has to take
the lead in reporting to the state after March 1, that there is a firm that has offered for the rest
of this year, to do the inspection work for nothing The company is the New York Atlantic Inland,
Inc
Chairman Dates welcomed Honorable Hugh S MacNeil, Assemblyman and a former chairman
of this board, to the meeting Mr MacNeil introduced Mr James Emery, an Assemblyman and an
unofficial candidate for Governor
Mr James Emery spoke and gave his concept on government and how it should work He
believes in willingness to listen to local government County government ought to have respon-
sibility for delivenng basic services Local government is closer to their constituency than as-
semblyman are He thinks it is the responsibility of the state government to help solve some of the
major problems and help them solve some of the problems together They should eliminate some
of the duplication of services from the state level down to the county, town and village level
Mr Culligan, Chairman of the Health and Education Committee, announced the committee
will meet the third Thursday of each month at 4 p m He said when the hospital was turned over
to not—for—profit, they formed a corporation, their own bylaws and their selection committee for
directors They decided to have nine directors plus three that this board would appoint, plus one
doctor, so it would be 13 people He said this board appointed three people --Mr Tillapaugh, Mr
Theisen and Mr Marcham Mr Marcham resigned so they have an opening They do have some-
one interested in continuing However, he felt he should ask if there was anyone on this board that
would be interested in serving on the Board of Directors and if this board wants their own ap-
pointee from this board It wouldn't shut out the interested person because he could be possibly

Mr Mason, Chairman, Public Safety and Correction Committee, said they have met and took
action on the award of bids for the Sheriff's cars On February 10th the committee will tour the
jail and related facilities Also, they will tour the `courthouse complex in those areas the commit-
tee has authonty At a later date he will schedule a time for a tour of the Fire and Ambulance
Dispatch Center He feels it is important for all committee members, particularly new ones, to get
an onentation of their areas of responsibility He reported Assemblyman MacNeil's office an-
nounced the county was successful in its application for a grant on arson task force control and
received in excess of $17,000 for county use and the City of Ithaca received an additional $5,800
He referred to everyone, information received from the Department of State concerning proposed
fire safety standards in areas of public assembly It is something, as proposed, that will have im-
pact on all local governments Any assembly of fifty or more will come under the new proposed
fire safety regulations and that includes areas used for amusements , athletic events, civic purposes,
dining, church suppers, etc There is a senes of heanngs scheduled around the state for local of-

will be turned back to the state He wanted to advise this board that this program may cost us

passed last year was reimbursed by the state at 80% level She said items outlined in the budget
are not things that are currently covered by Cooperative Extension in funds the Board has already
appropriated These are in addition, specifically just this study They don't have the funds to carry

They can't continue with the egg mass survey Mr Freeman said as of now there is no program in
New York State It is a tentative program that will be budgeted when the budget is passed In the
meantime,this program has asked counties to up—front the money At the end of September, the
counties are to submit their program expenditures to the state and at that time the state will take
a percentage of the money Instead of being on 80% funded program that they voted on, it could
be considerably less There was further discussion Mr Freeman said he felt the county should

PUBLIC HEARING
The public heanng is to consider and vote on a resolution pursuant to Local Law No 3 of 1981
determining that a 14—acre parcel of land is no longer needed for public use --said parcel being a
portion of the so called Biggs Complex
Chairman Dates called the public heanng to order
County Attorney Williamson read the notice of public heanng as published in the official
newspapers
Mr Jack Babbage spoke in favor of the doctors constructing the building as it would help the
unemployed and would put the building on the tax rolls
Louis Munchmeyer, M D , said five doctors would like to build a building for offices Office
space near the hospital is essential The two sites they have selected are both ideal One would be
land owned by the county, which they need approval for tonight The other is a private section of
land adjacent but they need approval of the nen-of-way for a dnveway so they can bring water
and sewer up to the land
Mr Mason, a member of the Biggs Complex Utilization Committee, said potential uses of the
land have been thoroughly discussed Mr Liguon has made extensive presentations which indicate
there is a generous amount of land available for any foreseeable use in the future for county use,
even with the release of this land to the private sector
Mr Liguori made a presentation using a map of the land and pointing out the parcels involved
Their primary objective was to insure that there was adequate land remaining for county, hospital
and health related use and that any uses proposed would be compatible with what the county and
hospital are trying to do there It would enhance and strengthen the entire complex as an institu-
tional and governmental center, and any income that would beroduced from the arrangements
could be recycled into the complex itself They considered the adjacent land uses, adjacent land in
the vicinity owned by others and the compatibility of their activities with the adjacent land They
considered zoning within the towns and the proposed new highway, traffic circulation, impact on
utilities owned by the county on the site, etc There seems to be adequate land for additional coun-
ty buildings, if that should ever be the case, in the vicinity of the H—Building, and the hospital
has adequate acreage Water and sewer is readily available by means of short extensions Based
upon their studies, there is good indication that this land is not really needed for future county
use as far as they can anticipate at the present time
There was a question and answer penod
Mr Watros said he is reluctant at this time to support this on the basis they have still not es-
tablished the utilization of the old hospital and any additional construction in that area would not
impact favorably on the disposal of space He said he would not like to proceed until they have
made definite cisions concerning the old hospital
Mr Downing, architect, said he would like to see that land developed
No one else wished to comment and the public heanng was closed at 8 15 p m
The minutes of the December 21, 1981, and December 30, 1981, meetings were approved
Under privilege of the floor, Hushang Bahar, President of the Tompkins Cortland Community
College, reported on the state of the college He said the college has become an integral part of
the economic life of these two counties He mentioned the many programs at the college The col-
lege has provided several degree programs which show increasing enrollments The college has very
strong support from local industry The data processing program which came into existence about
two years ago is much needed and the response is substantial New York State Electric and Gas
is a strong supporter of the college in that they provide substantial facilities and manpower, the
February 16, 1982 23
use of their computer and space in order to teach many of the courses It is one of their most sub-
stantial extension centers The nursing program is recognized among the top ten programs in the
country The cost of educating a student at the college is about $2,900 per year for a full—time
equivalent student They are running a program with New York State Electnc and Gas and are
working with other industries such as Smith Corona and Pall Trinity to develop some specific
programs For the past ten years the college has been the center for the Amencan Institute of
Banking They also provide training for local realtors to meet state licensing requirements They
provide state mandated training for local insurance agents The staff and faculty provide expert as-
sistance to business, industry and local voluntary associations, the police training program, as well
as others Mr Bahar said he is concerned about the cost of energy at the college After spending
$600,000 worth of energy conservation improvements, the overall energy costs remain the same
They reduced consumption levels this year but electric rates went up 26 per cent Energy costs will
cause serious problems for them in the future The college has become an international center
There are 110 international students from 27 countries They are involved with many other col-
leges throughout the state in vanous programs The travel and tounsm program at TC3 attracted
Disney World and there are 18 students in Disney World now for a full semester Mr Bahar said
he doesn't know at this time if President Reagan's economic program will affect the college

proposed legislation that, if passed, would not be in affect until Apnl 1, 1982, and could have some
senous ramifications on their budgets if the reimbursement rate should change It is based on ac-
tivities over which they have no control It would be difficult for counties to be subjected to this
kind of operation They will be discussing further in committee and may be coming back to this
board asking for a resolution expressing their concerns about this type of legislation
Mr Tillapaugh said there are three resolutions on the agenda because of the Planning and

Under privilege of the floor, Marnie Kirchgessner updated the board on reports and studies
CSEA is doing regarding the old hospital They have done extensive surveys and compiled infor-
mation and will be mailing it to the board next week She spoke about the resolution on today's
agenda regarding the abolition and creation of positions — Social Services — County Home They
are in favor of it if the residents will have appropriate medical care She also spoke about the posi-
tion of patient services at the Health Department There is an interim qualified candidate within
the department who wants the job
Under pnvilege of the floor, Mr Mason made the following statement "The Ithaca Journal
has, over the years, been accused of a lot of things ranging from inept editonal management to
sensationalist reporting For the most part, however, if one seasoned the positions taken Journal
editors with the proverbial grain of salt, the paper has appeared to remain basically honest An
editorial like the one that appeared in yesterday's paper, however, makes me question the editonal
integrity of the Journal and causes me to wonder lust what the editors' real intent was As you
know, 1 have some pretty strong concerns about the appointment process currently defined in the
Rules of the Board The fact that there are senous problems with this procedure is not, as claimed
by the Journal, the fault of one member of this board The fault lies with all of us, and for some,
in a system we inhented Perhaps there is some redemption for us however, now that the B & A
Committee is addressing this issue with a view towards preventing future problems resulting from
the system Beyond the matter of appointments, what is it that makes me question the integrity of
the Journal's faceless editonalists7 It is their statement that 'under Freeman's leadership, the
Human Services Committee had no idea there were problems concerning personnel and thefts at
the county home, and that it took an investigation by the Distnct Attorney's office to bring the
problems to the public's attention' First, the Journal knows full well that the investigation of con-
ditions at the home started long before Mr Freeman was assigned chairmanship of the Human
Services Committee Second, the Journal knows full well that the investigation undertaken by the
District Attorney's office was, in fact, instigated by a member of this board, with the full knowledge
of the chairman and was, in fact, a result of action taken by concerned and responsible county
government Because of the nature of the investigation, the former Distnct Attorney requested
that the full board, as well as county staff, not be involved until such time as the investigation was
completed At that time, the results of the investigation were reported to the appropnate commit-
tee — Mr Freeman's Human Services Committee Under his direction, immediate and decisive ac-
tion was taken to address the problems presented in the report The Journal's editonal statement
that 'no one knows that is happening in this area of county government, and that the blame rests
squarely with Freeman,' is not only entirely untrue, it isgrassy unfair The Ithaca Journal owes
Mr Freeman and the members of this community an apology'
Mr Tillapaugh spoke regarding the hospital If the number of patient days increased, the hospi-
tal could make money, so with the building of the new hospital and addition of ability of our doc-
tors and complicated procedures, there has been more people coming The Hospital Board of
Directors presentation was made up regarding the affect of proposed state and federal regulations
concerning operation of the hospital It was brought out if this legislation takes affect, patient days
would be affected He said they are very proud of the job Mrs Howell, Hospital Administrator, is
doing
Mr Watros, Chairman of the Budget and Administration Committee, reported they met March
29, and Mr Ray Green from the New York State Municipal Services Division met with them to
discuss a study of managenal employees of the county The scope of the study would include the
job descnptions and salary level review Mr Green expects to begin in Apnl This study is a result
of discussion of a previous study made by Mr Holcomb last year There was concern expressed as
to the completeness of that report The state has offered the service at no charge Hopefully, the
results will be acceptable to this board and they will be able to institute it in 1983 He also reported
they met Apnl 5th and most items were tabled until their Apnl 19th meeting Their discussion in-
cluded resolutions for the hotel occupancy tax Also, they will withdraw the resolutions on the agen-
da pertaining.to the extension of position of Junior Engineer — Highway Department There was
discussion of creation of vice chairman for this body to serve in the absence of the chairman There
is discussion taking place relative to the appointment procedure and advisory boards for the coun-
ty and the committee expects to develop a proposal on the 19th
Mr Murphy, County Administrator, spoke regarding the Director of Patient Services position
There is evidently a difference of opinion at the state level as to what the Health Department is
allowed to do and what Civil Service thinks they have a nght to do The exam is May 7th state
wide The filing date for the examinations has been extended for one week
Mr Ray, Chairman of the Planning and Public Works Committee, reported the subcommittee

revised approach to the Crash/Fire/Rescue Building After buddm the Crash/Fire/Rescue Build-
ing, they built the equipment storage and now the sand storage Only sand can be used on the run-
way, not salt or calcium The ADAP fund balance left about $58,000 available for the sand storage
building project
April 7, 1982 53
They approved a concept in relation to the East Ithaca bypass The concept they approved was
to ask the Budget and Administration Committee to consider authorizing up to $3,000 for air photo
work to be done after the snow goes and before the leaves come out It puts in place a set of
photos that later on would be used if they decided to go with the project Also, the gypsy moth
program is on the agenda today They also had people in from the Appalachian Regiona Com-
mission in relation to Tompkins County's TOhTI'RAN project They would like to use it as a model

town for a cost of $800 In the future there will be a get together with Cornell University, Town
of Ithaca and the County on how to share the cost
Mr Culligan asked the status of the Route 13 Corridor project Mr Ray said it is at staff level
at both counties He invited any board members to go to the planning office and look at the cor-
ndors When recommendations are made, the board will be asked to make a decision
Mr Freeman, Chairman of the Human Services Committee, said they are scheduled to meet
tomorrow at noon and discuss the county home and Human Rights Commission appointments

Ithaca Journal editorial
Mr George Pfann, Assistant County Attorney, reported there has been no final decision on
the assessment case with NCR. There is a heanng to take testimony on May 6th in that matter
He also reported the case in which Joseph Joch has sued the county for the salary he said he should
have received On March 23 their office submitted briefs before Judge Zeller in Wampsville He
has reserved decision and has given until April 21 to submit further briefs Mrs Muka asked that
she be allowed to intervene in the case on her own behalf Judge Zeller indicated she needed to
submit papers and two days ago the County Attorney's office received a notice on the motion retur-
nable to Judge Zeller at which time they will be arguing whether she can intervene in the case
She alleges her point is that Mr Joch did not spend 96 per cent of his time on the county District

some question about whether or not the home was going to be up there The committee made a
April 20, 1982 69
unanimous agreement to keep the county home in operation Part of the problem of the home
seems to be set policy and procedures --who is admitted, how they are taken care of, etc Mr Richard
Weiss and Mr James Brennan were instructed to check back into the records for all the policies
and procedures set forth and to bring recommendations for the policies and procedures they feel
should be implemented by this board He said they had a problem with the nurses Mr Brennan,
Commissioner of Social Services, said he has an individual who works with Social Services who is
an R.N and they are using her on a temporary basis
Mr Ray, Chairman of the Planning and Public Works Committee, said they haven't met as a
full committee but the subcommittee has met twice and there are two resolutions on the agenda
He said he would like to withdraw the resolution to go to architectural design for the sand storage
building at the airport He said he thought they could get into airport sand storage building addi-
tion at 2.5% cost It appears the figures did not come in that way They have asked the staff to
take a look at it and the Planning and Public Works Committee will deal with it before they bnng
it back to this board The next meeting is Apnl 30 at 1 p m They will discuss the proposed bottle
bill and litter control legislation
Mr Ray said since he has been on the board there has been lots of people calling him and
mentioning that there doesn't seem to be a clear definition of who has responsibility for delivery
of social services under emergency conditions --holidays, weekends, nights for people in dire need
of shelter or food, etc He suggested in a reasonable length of time that there be some kind of
cooperation and training seminars to include police agencies so they would know what can happen
under various situations in the county There is no I&R Service line available after 5 p m There
is a need to have a listing made available He asked the committee to give this consideration
Mr Watros asked the status relative to the parking situation and windows of the courthouse
Mr Ray said the window project is in the budget Mr Mobbs said he and the architect will be
ready to make a report to the Planning and Public Works Committee, if not at the next meeting,
the one following Mr Watros suggested in the future to establish target completion dates and in
order to bring something to a conclusion, develop a goal Mr Ray said he has talked about the
implementation of a two—year old resolution regarding the parking meter heads being installed
on the posts last summer in the public parking area of the courthouse They entered into an agree-
ment with the City of Ithaca for them to install meter heads on our posts He sees no reason why
it should not go to completion immediately
Mr Slattery reported for the Public Safety Committee He said they met and took up the fire
dispatchers contract The Ithaca Board of Fire Commissioners have recommended a one—year
contract be redrafted and the 50/50 split be changed to 1/3-2/3 In 1981, the city share was $33,550
of a $68,000 cost As a result of negotiations of Elva Holman, James Mason, and the Board of Fire
Commissioners, the recommendation was made that the city be allowed to pay 1/3 and the county
2/3 and a one—year contract be signed It is being referred to the county administrator and coun-
ty attorney for review and it will be coming to this board He also reported they discussed a re-
quest for information pertaining to the Federal Emergency Information Administration in regard
to a crisis relocation evacuation plan in case of nuclear disaster Last year there was a study of the
nonresidential structures in the county in an attempt to find out the suitability of structures for
emergency purposes They never received a report Information has been requested from Mr
Richard Herskowitz of the Nuclear Civil -Protection Agency on the results of that study and it
should be forthcoming
Mrs Starr said state funds have been cut for the high school equivalency testing at the jail
There was a request for the board to ask the Governor and the Assembly and Senate to consider
bnngrng the funds back
Mr Slattery said Bill Mobbs was requested to look into the possibility of installing electnc
doors at the jail
Mr Watros, Chairman of the Budget and Administration Committee, reported they met and
most of the activities are reflected in resolutions on tonight's agenda except one item of appoint-
ment procedures for advisory boards There was discussion yesterday and they will continue to dis-
cuss it at the next meeting and solicit comments from other board members to assist them in
developing a policy that would be appropnate
Mr Watros said the CETA Advisory Committee had its first meeting of the year and heard a
program report and learned of potential funding for the summer youth program They will adopt
a summer program in the near future and bnng it before this board The regular meetings of the
committee have been scheduled for the third Monday of each Month at 4 p m He said they have
several vacancies and a proposed membership Inst will be put before this board for appointment
pnor to the next CETA Advisory Committee meeting

penod of 1982 and he distnbuted a report to the board Figures indicate the town share is up ap-
proximately $5,900 1 or 5 9 per cent over the same penod last year The city total is up approximate-
70 April 20, 1982
ly $55,900 or 7 per cent Heinted out that every penod they receive has an adjustment of a prior
penod due to the way the fig res are calculated at the state level

needs study The report suggests the Planning and Public Works Committee and the Biggs Com-
plex Utilization Committee, deal with this report together and come up with joint recommenda-
tions that would be forwarded to the full board It was also suggested that the committees con-
sider jointly to sponsor public meetings to allow input by the public and by vanous agencies that
might want to speak He urged them to keep in mind that the pnme issue is what do they do to
meet their county space needs, both the short and long range, and as they hear the debates and
get involved themselves in the debates, discuss all Issues
Mr Watros expressed his concern that he expected the report to be more specific and that it
would show a plan as to what offices would move to that complex They have vacant space there,
and they need county office space
Mr Dates said the two committees will digest the report and decide what their next steps will
be
Mr Robey said he hopes that next week if the committee does not reach a decision or needs
more information that it will not be interpreted as procrastination

The minutes of the Apnl 20th meeting were approved
Under pnvilege of the floor, Mamie Kirshgessner submitted a report to the board that the
CSEA compiled regarding the Biggs Complex
Dr Leroy K. Young spoke on behalf of the Tompkins County Chapter of the Physicians for
Social Responsibility, Tompkins County Nuclear Weapons Freeze Campaign and the Educators for
Social Responsibility They are concerned about the reported plans of the federal and state govern-
ments as part of their crisis relocation planning to have Tompkins County become a host area for
180,000 evacuees from the New York City area in case of a thermonuclear threat against that city
They are concerned that we would be unable to feed them and water supplies and sanitary facilities
would be overwhelmed Epidemics of all kinds of diseases would break out, pharmacies would run
out of medicine and the hospital would find its supplies quickly used up He urged upon the
authonties in Tompkins County to press the authonties in Washington and Albany to make the
plan public so the public health officers, sanitary engineers, physicians, police, traffic management
specialists and housing authonties can study it and see what is expected of them
Ms Minam Chilton supported Dr Young's statement and submitted information to the board
which will be available at the board's office
Mr Slattery said, as he reported at the April 20th meeting, they discussed a request for infor-
mation pertaining to the Federal Emergency Information Administration regarding evacuation plans
in case of a nuclear disaster Last year there was a study of non—residential structures in the coun-
ty to find out the suitability of structures for emergency purposes They have never received a
report That information was requested and should be forthcoming
Mrs Livesay said last week she was in Albany for a meeting of the Board of Directors of the
Supervisors and County Legislators' Association Cnsis relocation will be on their June Program
She said she also attended a conference on New York's fiscal system There seemed to be an honest
effort on the part of the Legislature in Albany to work with local officials and try to work out the
best way to fund programs and the best level of government to deliver the services There is very
little money at any level
Mr Ray said he has had calls regarding the action of the Human Rights Commission in rela-
tion to the YMCA situation He said there is no complaint and they are acting on only innuendos
and rumors He feels it is dangerous to investigate rumors without someone filing complaints He
said he hopes it will be looked into by a committee
Mr Shurtleff said, having been a mayor, he knows some of the programs the municipalities try
to do with their youth at vacation time He would like to see the county look into $25,000 of match-
ing money with municipalities — any municipality that wanted to participate He said it would be
for children 14 years old and up and would be Just for this year Hopefully the economy will be
better next year
Chairman Dates asked Mr Shurtleff to submit his request in writing and it will be turned over
to the Budget and Administration Committee
Mrs Nichols said the Human Rights Commission is an appointed board and the investigator
is a staff person He does not control his board They act independently She feels information that
is not correct should be stopped She feels our effort is to have the Human Rights Commission be
as fair and representative of the policies as possible She feels if they are correcting information,
it is to the benefit of all
Mr Stein said he thinks the intent was to clear the air, in a sense to help the YMCA in their
efforts, and since there were rumors around, right or wrong, that it would be a service to the
YMCA to have it clear
Mr Tillapaugh said there has been concern about the need for a traffic light at the hospital
entrance The hospital board is pursuing the need for a light there It is a dangerous intersection
The state decides whether a traffic light is installed The people who own the highway intersection
76 May 5, 1982
have to foot the bill If the state says the traffic light can be installed, then the hospital has to find
the money He asked if there was a way the county could help pay
Chairman Dates commented that it is Tompkins County's 165th birthday Mrs Howell, Clerk,
read a copy of the handwntten minutes of the first meeting of the Board of Supervisors Apnl 28,
1817, in the Village of Ithaca
Mr Mason, Chairman of the Public Safety and Corrections Committee, said the committee met
yesterday to review and recommend nominees for appointment to the STOP—DWI Advisory
Board They also discussed a bill before the Assembly at this time The Miller/Fink proposal calls
for the state to assume the cost of operating probation services at the county level At this point,
New York State reimburses the county for 465% of the cost of operating probation The proposal
is over a three —year penod, they would assume 100% in order for that to take place, the coun-
ty has to file an approved plan that says that 100% of the dollars saved by not operating the Proba-
tion Department would be used to provide the municipality with improved police departments and
law enforcement capabilities It is an attempt by the state to make additional dollars available for
local law enforcement He said there are concerns on the part of the local Probation Department,
Lois Humphrey, Acting Probation Director He has asked her to meet with the committee He also
said he would like a meeting tomorrow with the Human Services Committee, Sheriff Robert Howard
and Lois Humphrey to discuss problems they have as far as housing of juveniles in detention
facilities throughout the state There are children housed in Rochester, Syracuse, Cortland and
Jacksonville, and some of the policies and procedures being followed in human service agencies
have a direct impact on the Probation and Shenff's Departments operation, so there are hidden
expenses involved
Mr Freeman, Chairman of the Human Services Committee, reported they will meet tomorrow
to discuss the Good Hope Home and the County Home They will go into executive session to dis-
cuss Economic Opportunity Corporation and the Office for the Aging nominations Their next
meeting will be May 14th at which time people from the Office for the Aging will make a presen-
tation
Mr Ray, Chairman of the Planning and Public Works Committee, reported they have items on
the agenda One of the important decisions this board will have to make is on the agenda at the
next meeting — joint disposal of sludge and septic tank facilities program The committee acted
on it last week but chose not to bring it to the board yet since it is a big step and a big commit-
ment -He asked Mr Liguori to report
Mr Liguori, Commissioner of Planning, reported that this board several years ago expressed
interest in pursuing an arrangement that septic sludge would be handled on a county—wide basis
Later on, the City of Ithaca began their activities to redesign their plant At that time this board
asked the city to include in their preliminary studies, a design to handle septage on a county—wide
basis He said he met with appronate bodies at the city level, and later the Town of Ithaca and
the Town of Dryden became involved It is now in the final design stage At this point it is neces-
sary, because of the grants of 873%, to begin making formal commitments They now know what
the basic costs are and roughly what the operation and maintenance costs are going to be The
City of Ithaca asked the county to serve as a lead agency to provide arrangements in the future for
the disposal of digested treated sludge from its treatment plant It is now appropriate for the coun-
ty to consider the possibility of serving as the lead agency, in cooperation with and participation
by the municipalities, in arranging for sludge disposal after digestion He is suggesting that the
county retain a consultant at approximately $5,000 to review the method of allocation of costs to
the county of handling septage Also, they are suggesting the county employ the same engineer to
give us information on the cost of handling septage by vanous alternatives There was discussion
and Mr Liguon and Mr Ray answered questions
Mr Ray reported the Planning and Public Works Committee will meet May 21 to deal with the
ADAP program and some of the changes This board has to approve and set pnonties for ADAP
airport development projects funded by ADAP funds They will be dealing with new recommen-
dations He also said there is a resolution on the agenda regarding the bottle bill

ment with CETA, increase to full-time — STOP—DWI Coordinator, and some budget adjust-
ments There was previous discussion on appointment of members to the CETA Advisory Com-
mittee At that time it was determined by the committee that it was inappropnate for the commit-
May 5, 1982 77
tee to act Since that time, further investigation has indicated that the board should make the ap-
pointments based on the opinion of the CountyAttorney Today he will be putting forth four names
for consideration of appointment to the CETA Advisory Committee They will meet on the third
Monday of each month He also added that there will be an effort put forth for manual revisions
Mr Williamson, County Attorney, reported they argued two motions in Madison County last
week on the Muka matter She wants to intervene in the Joseph Joch case, and they moved to dis-
miss her second amended complaint against the Sheriff He also reported they have a fact—find-
ing hearing on the NCR assessment case tomorrow afternoon The Judge wanted to get the par-
ties involved to see whether or not the petitionrrequesting the review of NCR assessment was
served properly He brought to the board's attention a matter which is in current pending lrtiga-
tion — Cornell University's claim They want to take about 12 fraternities off the tax rolls in the
City of Ithaca — about 2 6 million dollars He will keep them advised

Members and guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance
Chairman Dates welcomed Mrs Nelson's sixth grade class from Fall Creek School
It was Moved by Mrs Nichols, seconded by Mr Freeman, That the minutes of the May 5th
board meeting be approved Unanimously adopted
Under privilege of the floor, Mr Paul Bennett, Chemung County Neighborhood Legal Services
office in Ithaca, reported on their activities They provide civil legal services for poor people free
of charge They do not provide any criminal representation Their funding at the moment consists
of two sources in Tompkins County --federal funds from the National Federal Legal Services Cor-
poration in Washington, D C and for the first six months of this year a grant of $12,500 from
Tompkins County They focus pnmanly on two areas of the law The first is administrative law
dealing with such things as social security, unemployment insurance benefits, dealing with public
assistance medicaid and food stamp system Approximately half of their caseload is in that area
Their attorneys are trained to deal specifically in that area of the law The second area is housing
They project a deficit of approximately $12,500 for the second half of the year and if county fund-
ing is available, they will be able to keep the county office open at the same level He pointed out
in the report he distributed to the board on private bar involvement with delivery of legal services
to the poor, as a condition of their receiving funding this year from the federal government, they
have been asked to allocate 10 per cent of that money program wide to help increase the amount
of pnvate bar involvement in delivenng legal services to the poor He also told them there are two
other agencies that deliver legal services to the poor in Tompkins County James Hickey for the
Office for .` ging delivers some services to the elderly limited to approximately one half day a week
Also the Cornell Legal Aid Clinic delivers services That office is not open now and will not be
taking any new cases until September That is one of the reasons an office such as theirs is needed
full time
Chairman Dates referred the report to the Budget and Administration Committee He feels
there should be a resolution at the next board meeting
Mr Robey said when it was funded there was to be an evaluation after six months His under-
standing was that it was because of the uncertainty of federal funding He said he hopes the Budget
and Administration Committee will recommend funding for the next six months
Mr Watros said his committee will discuss this matter at their meeting on June 7
Mrs Livesay said she thinks the press has a mistaken impression, so it has passed on to the
people in the community, that the Human Services Committee was taking action that was prejudi-
cial for people with a history of mental illness or have resided in a mental institution That was
not the action of the Human Services Committee What the committee did was to see that what
was put in wrung was the guidelines for folks that are appropriate for the level of care that exists
at the Tompkins County Home without trying to sidestep responsibilities for people that might not
be suitable residents for the county home She said she wishes the press would take note of that
Mrs Livesay reported she attended the Human Rights Commission Awards Dinner which un-
fortunately was reduced in size The press coverage concentrated on the postponement of the ac-
ceptance of the award by one of the recipients and there were other award recipients there that
accepted She read an essay wntten by William DeWinter entitled "I Also Have a Dream " She
was sorry the press didn't do anything with the essay The essay is as follows
"Like Martin Luther King, Jr , I also have a dream I dream of a world where all people are
accepted as human beings and judged by their character and not the color of their skin, or their
religion, or their country of ongin, or by their handicap For example, some people treat me dif-
ferently than other teenagers just because i sit in a wheel chair My dream is for all people to be
judged for who they are, not by their condition All people should be treated as human beings in
spite of tneir differences "
"My dream world would be one where everyone would have enough food to eat and enough
clothes to stay warm Anyone who would need medical treatment would not be denied Even if
they could not pay the bill, treatment would be available to anyone "

"I have a dream of a world where everyone would have a chance for a good education and an
equal opportunity to work, men and women alike In my dream world, all people would have a
chance to participate in all sports Everybody would have an equal opportunity to train and be on
pro teams, men, women, blacks, whites, all people"
"In my world, there would be a world—wide effort to conserve our natural resources and not
to pollute the earth's environment There would be a major effort to not destroy the plant, animal
and human species on the earth My world would be a place of peace for every living thing "
Mr Mason announced he sent for a report "Capital Losses The Price of the Death Penalty in
New York State " He said it is the first time he has seen the economic aspects of the proposed
death penalty addressed as to the ramifications it has on local governments The proposedib ll in
Albany at this time provides the defendant will receive technically unlimited aid from the State of
New York in their defense He quoted from the article that the state would guarantee those defen-
dants unable to afford counsel or other services, would receive a quantity and quality of profes-
sional services necessary for the best possible defense The cost of prosecuting a death case would
be a county charge It is estimated that prosecution costs for lust the tnal part of an average capi-
tal case in New York State would cost $845,000 The prosecution cost alone would probably
bankrupt some counties If this bill is passed, it has serious ramifications He would like to see that
the representatives in Albany see the impact this could have in Tompkins County
Chairman Dates asked Mr Mason to discuss this with the Public Safety and Corrections Com-
mittee
Mr Culligan, Chairman, Health and Education Committee, asked for a recess to discuss the
matter of purchasing a van for Meadow House programs It seems it would be more convenient
and less expensive for the county to purchase the van and lease it back to the Mental Health
Department There is a deadline of June 4
Chairman Dates called a recess at 9 55 a m The meeting was reconvened at 10 06 a m
Mr Culligan said the committee decided to purchase a van for the Meadow House program
The bid of $9,057 will purchase the van They will purchase it and lease it back to the mental health
program Mr Williamson is preparing a resolution for that today
Mr Mason, Chairman, Public Safety and Corrections Committee, reported they received a let-
ter from Richard Herskowitz, Office of the Director of Nuclear Protection, in Albany regarding
their request for further information on the cnsis relocation plan and its impact on Tompkins
County Mr Herskowitz reports that cnsis relocation planners have not started a host plan for
Tompkins County outside of a tentative designation of the county as a host area for New York
City All they have done is survey the county for potential shelter for metropolitan area residents
Mr Freeman, Chairman, Human Services Committee, said they are scheduled to meet at noon
tomorrow He said he received a letter from the Office for Aging informing him that the Town of
Ulysses representative is resigning from that board
Mr Ray, Chairman, Planning and Public Works Committee, said they have a new five—year
ADAP list to consider Regarding the new courthouse windows, he said they will see a sample of
the design and possibly a sample of the window itself very soon He also reported they have bid
acceptance for two TOMTRAN buses on the agenda The committee has requested proposals to
contract services for TOMTRAN Ithaca/Dryden bus run They request the proposals begin operat-
ing September 1 The buses won't come until the first of the year A lease arrangement is being
worked out so they will not have to wait to start that service
Mr Watros, Chairman, Budget and Administration Committee, said they discussed items that
were deferred from the previous meeting A proposed resolution to authorize a public heanng
regarding the vice chairman of the board, will be acted on today There were several revisions to
the administrative manual which they acted on that are on the agenda today The appointment pro-
cedures were settled, however, he doesn't think everyone has had an opportunity to review the
proposal so he said they could defer it to the next meeting He read a schedule for the 1983 budget
process and copies will be available
Mr Murphy, County Administrator, said Richard Weiss is working on the OAR report and it
will be available later in the week and distnbuted to the board no later than Friday
Mr Williamson, County Attorney, reported he received the bnef and record on appeal of the
case involving weighted voting in the county reapportionment He will be working on that
Mr Culligan asked the status of the legal factors of contracting with physicians who are going
to purchase the property at the old hospital Mr Williamson said he has a proposed offer from
Mr DuBow who represents the doctors He has prepared drafts and asked Mr Pfann to give him
a report from Bonnie Howell, Hospital Administrator, and the Community Hospital, on the con-
cerns they have about the easements, the road as it goes through their property, and the sewer,
96 June 1, 1982
water, gas and electnc lines which pass their property to which the doctors have to connect That
report needs discussion between the appropriate committee and the Tompkins Community Hospi-
tal to settle those factors

PUBLIC HEARING
Concerning a resolution declanng a portion of land owned by the county including the old Biggs
Complex lying east of the westerly county nght-of-way and parking area as no longer needed for
public use and that said parcel be made available for sale with or without public bidding
Mrs Ruth DeWire, President of the Tompkins Community Hospital Board of Directors, said
the action this morning brings out a number of problems which complicates the relationship be-
tween the hospital and the county, in particular, the entire base contract between the county and
hospital will have to be renegotiated It affects arrangements for utilities, bargaining rights that the
county had assumed with the proposed Route 96 and many concerns in the base contract They do
have other concerns also The land they own would pin them in between ownership by a private
corporation and possibly a proposed four—lane highway They will be asking for an easement They
have asked George Pfann to be in touch with the county attorney about their concerns to the draft
of the sale They are concerned about resale — not so much what the county controls but what
happens after that passes out of the county's hands They have specific concerns about resale They
built the hospital and made a decision to conduct certain hospital functions in the old building
They still use between 7,000-10,000 sq ft of the old hospital for specific functions --storage of
materials, storage of old medical records and provision for employee quarters They think they can
do something with the old steam plant which would take care of storage of supplies They are not
ready to make a request because they do not quite know if they want it Their pnonty is parking
Outpatient increases will increase traffic They have wntten to Mr Dates and specified parcels that
they would like the county to give them before they dispose of the land to the east of the hospi-
tal They will get back to them conditions of sale They are not prepared to do anything in the way
of expenses
No one else wished to speak and Chairman Dates concluded the public hearing at 944 a m
and reconvened the board meeting
Under privilege of the floor, Mr Ronald Space, a member of the TC3 Board of Trustees and
a member of the Buildings and Grounds Committee, explained to the board what is happening in
relation to the current problem of PCB's at the college He said there are two transformers in a
bunker to the east of the building located in an earthen embankment about sixty to eighty feet
away from the building The transformer bunker is open at the top for ventilation purposes There
are drains that go out of the bottom and eventually enter a storm sewer that goes through and
beneath the budding at a considerable depth and empties into a swale about 150 feet west of the
August 10, 1982 129
building In the fall of 1981, during routine preventative maintenance, it was discovered that one
of the two transformers contained PCB's Soil testing was done and it was determined there was
contamination in the swale He explained the action that was taken They accepted a proposal from
All Wash, Inc of Syracuse to clean up the 1000 cubic feet of contaminated soil at approximately
$28,000 All Wash, Inc is now in the process and hopefully will finish their soil clean up this week
They will continue to monitor the dram after the clean up They, as well as SUNY, the Depart-
ment of Environmental Conservation and the Tompkins County Health Department, feel confident
there was never a major problem He said they wanted to do the best job they could to insure that
there was no health hazard to anyone The transformer is still there and they are looking at several
alternatives He feels personally the best thing to do would be to replace the transformer
There was discussion Dr Willard Schmidt, Commissioner of Health, stated there is no indica-
tion this is a health hazard
Also underrivilege of the floor, Mr Merrill Shipherd said he has been concerned with the
old hospital building He said in view of the number of acres invested in the new hospital, it might
be helpful if they have a special committee, if not already done, sit down together with someone
from the town, city, and hospital considering all matters involved and see whether it would be
worthwhile to make a more comprehensive study of the whole situation
Mrs Livesay reported she attended the June conference of Supervisors and County Legislators
and the National Association of Counties in July She collected a lot of information on inter-
governmental type cooperation on governmental and private sector cooperation She said she will
get together with committee chairmen involved with these areas of concern President Reagan ad-
dressed NACO at that July meeting and the feeling he expressed was that a local board ought to
be responsible for the level of services that are provided and have to answer to the voters locally
Mrs Call reported that at the Ithaca Town Board meeting there were some very positive com-
ments made about the youths working in the town under Phil Shurtlefrs summer job proposal
They were very enthusiastic and felt it is a good investment

tation The committee was very impressed He asked the Planning Council to appear at the second
Board meeting in September Thursday at noon they will meet with Challenge Industries He
referred to a magazine entitled "Modern Maturity" There is an article in it about the Finger Lakes
It is good publicity Our contract with the Finger Lakes Association for tourism and business brings
about this type of business
Mr Mason, Chairman, Public Safety and Correction Committee, said they met yesterday and
discussed Mr Date's memo relating to a review of health and safety work policies for county
employees They will be undertaking that review and will be coming back to this board They also
discussed Chemung Neighborhood Legal Services review that was submitted in part to the board
at the last meeting They received the response from Mr Bennett this morning It is the committee's
consensus that the board take no action at this time on further funding That would mean the
county's contribution would cease as of the first of September The committee further recommends
that the findings in the county administrator's report be incorporated into deliberations of the 1983
budget and revenue sharing application They also recommend that any further deliberations con-
cerning the Chemung Neighborhood Legal Services be handled by the Human Services Commit-
tee
There was further discussion Mr Robey pointed out that the committee had thought the
program would run out of money and would have to close dawn the program September 1 They
now understand the situation is not one where they will close September 1
Mr Paul Bennett said assuming they will get funding in 1983, they will be able to continue to
operate as they are now but will have to make up the difference somewhere along the line Some
services may have to be cut back
Chairman Dates referred the issue of funding to the Human Services Committee
Mr Ray, Chairman, Planning and Public Works Committee, said they will meet August 23 at

no particular problems, they will go to another auction He also informed the board they have
received notice from the Special Children's Center that they intend to vacate their space in the H -
Building at the end of the month That space will be available and they will have to decide whether
to utilize it for county offices or seek an outside tenant He stated they have reviewed budgets sub-
mitted for 1983 and will set up meetings

Chairman Dates called the following public heanng to order
PUBLIC HEARING
Concerning the Declaration of all or a portion of the former County Hospital Property, includ-
ing a portion of the old Biggs Complex and adjacent acreage no longer needed for public use
Mrs Ruth DeWire, President, Tompkins Community Hospital Board of Directors, read a
prepared statement on behalf of the Tompkins Community Hospital Board of Directors They do
not oppose the sale of the old hospital building by Tompkins County for uses that would be com-
patible with the hospital operation In fact, a sale could possibly benefit both the hospital and resi-
dents of the old hospital building However, before such a sale is completed, several problems must
be solved jointly by the county and the hospital These may be outlined as follows 1 Parking and
the hospital environment 2 Utilities, maintenance, etc at Biggs Complex 3 Use by the hospital
of the old hospital building wing The statement also said both the Board of Representatives and
its staff have demonstrated concern and sensitivity towards these problems and they do not doubt
that solutions acceptable to the hospital and county can be found The hospital is understandably
anxious that all the difficulties descnbed herein be addressed satisfactorily before a sale is com-
pleted and that none remain to be negotiated between a pnvate owner and the hospital
No one else wished to speak and the public hearing was closed at 9 45 a m , and the regular
meeting was reconvened
It was Moved by Mrs Nichols, seconded by Mrs Starr, That the minutes of the August 10,
1982, meeting be approved Mr Culligan asked that there be a correction made to his committee
report where he referred to an article about the Finger Lakes in a national magazine, and it be
changed to read that "our contract with the Finger Lakes Association for tourism and business
bnngs about this type of business " Motion unanimously adopted
Under privilege of the floor, Leonard Ferns of Ithaca expressed his concern about various
groups using DeWitt Park He doesn't feel it is appropriate He asked the board to obtain title to
the property or find some other appropnate county property and have the war memonal monu-
ments moved The men listed on the monuments deserve our respect and a place set aside so there
will be complete reverence for what they have done for their country Chairman Dates said he will
refer this request to the proper committee
Under pnvilege of the floor, Mr Ray said in reading an article in the Ithaca Journal last week,
we are about to be the recipient of another transfer program that takes money (revenues) out of
this area and takes it to the metropolitan areas of the state The Journal said upon implementa-
tion of the new sales tax reporting system for gasoline sales, retail, the point of the distnbutor's
location is going to be determined as far as the municipality that gets credit for receiving that sales
tax Right now when someone in Dryden or Newfield sells a gallon of gas retail, the sales tax they
collect is credited to Tompkins County According to the Journal, the new plan calls for distributors
throughout the state to add the tax at their office wherever their distnbution point is The distribu-
tion points are pretty much located in the metropolitan areas If the sales tax is now going to be
reported in the metropolitan area, and if you only have one or two distributors in this area, we are
going to lose big revenues If that is the case and that article is correct, this board should take im-
mediate action to get an injunction against the state sales tax department from doing it on that
basis, to hold off until the legislature can review what they have done to local revenues
138 September 7, 1982
Chairman Dates said he will ask Mr Watros, Chairman of the Budget and Administration Com-
mittee, Mr Williamson, County Attorney; and Mr Murphy, County Administrator, to research this
problem Mr Watros said the committee is meeting this Thursday and will take up this matter
Mr Stein said in the last two or three weeks Budget and Administration has published a notice
in the newspapers about property owners who have not paid their taxes in 1981 and 1982 There
is a question raised and he feels it should be looked into if they haven't already, that maybe some
of these property owners because of the inflated interest rates over the past few years are letting
their taxes lapse because it is cheaper to have the interest rate that the county charges than to go
to the bank He has heard other people raise the question of whether we might rearrange the
penalty on taxes so this doesn't occur
Chairman Dates said this has come up before
Mr Murphy said some of the interest rates encourage people not to pay On September 30
substantial amounts will be collected because people will pay before it goes through the tax sale
If it goes through the tax sale, there is a 20% penalty added so people will come in before the last
day to avoid the 20% In the meantime, they have had use of their own money Assemblyman Mac-
Neil has told him they have acted on legislation that will increase the penalty but has not received
notice that the Governor has signed it
Mr Culligan reported the committee met at Challenge industries about three weeks ago and
took a tour and listened to the new administration The Challenge people are doing work in the
electronics field now They have a new salesman At this point, the picture at Challenge looks bet-
ter than it did a year ago
Mr Mason, Chairman, Public Safety and Corrections Committee, said their next meeting is
Tuesday, September 14 He asked Mr Liguon for a brief update on the Jail Study Committee
Mr Liguori, Commissioner of Planning, said in accordance with their agreement with the
Facilities Development Corporation, proposals were solicited from architects Seventeen architects
replied and were interviewed Three are from the Ithaca area The corporation has now given them
a list of those and has made a recommendation in terms of the top three and has made a recom-
mendation on a pnmary selection The committee will be reviewing it shortly and will make a
decision
Mr Ray, Chairman, Planning and Public Works Committee, recommended they move the next
regular board meeting Into the courthouse He will add a resolution to the agenda later in the
meeting He said one of the items they are facing is the approval of the design of German Cross
Road Bndge They will have drawings of the bndge brought to the committee before the detailed
drawings are drawn up so if the committee does not agree that the concerns of the neighborhood
are met, they will not have gone through the whole process They have several resolutions that
were approved by the committee and are on the agenda Adjustments in the ADAP program at
the airport has to do with taking the next projects at the airport in a two—year program to get
the emergency airport turns widened, the runway lighting system replaced and the emergency air-
port generator installed, as well as hoping to construct an additional taxiway to the airpark They
have applied for an additional entitlement for the sand storage building Also, they have the Coun-
ty Attorney drafting a highway defect law, or pothole law, that would make it mandatory that before
a person could sue the county for a pothole or dangerous situation, that the situation had been
brought to the attention of the county highway department and time given to make repairs The
state legislature and the New York State Association of Counties is recommending each county
pass its own pothole law
Mr Culligan said he received a letter requesting $7,000 worth of curb cuttings for the hand-
icapped within the general area of the courthouse Mr Ray said that it was a letter from the Com-
missioner of Public Works and went to city representatives only Mr Stein brought it to the Plan-
ning and Public Works Committee at the last meeting It has been assigned for response to our
Commissioner of Public Works It is a request for the county to participate and pay for hand-
icapped access cuts
Mr Watros, Chairman, Budget and Administration Committee, said they will discuss health in-
surance at their meeting on Thursday They will also discuss the sales tax concern expressed by Mr
Ray today He reported that they had a very successful RAVE program throughout the summer
He attended the presentation of certificates and people from the state were there and had glow-
ing remarks on the program It was very well run He also mentioned that the budget process is
well underway
Mr Murphy, County Administrator, reported the tax sale takes place on October 1 It is a legal
formality because the county bids in all the parcels They are required to have a tax sale The coun-
ty bids them in and the title rests with the county He also mentioned that they went through the
1981 foreclosure and now they will have the 1982 sale and will have parcels for sale at public auc-
tion Their objective date is September 30 or October 4 He also reported they have reviewed
September 7,,1982 139
budgets submitted by department heads and are prepared to meet with committees
Mr Williamson, County Attorney, reported they have been sued again by Mrs Betty Muka
The Judge dismissed her second amended complaint and gave her a chance for a third amended
complaint against the Shenff, but she served a new summons against the Shenff, individually, the
county, himself, and Mazza, Williamson and Clune for 20 billion dollars He announced that they
have received a letter from the attorney representing the doctors withdrawing their offer because
the negotiated arrangements have not been finalized
Mr Stern asked the progress of the Cornell Fraternity situation Mr Williamson said it is pend -
Mr Culligan asked Mr Williamson if he could report on how much Mrs Muka's lawsuits have
cost the county Mr Williamson said he would have to talk with the insurance Garner who hand-
les this and he could talk with Mr Murphy about the policy premiums Mr Williamson requested
an executive session to discuss property that was in the tax sale
Chairman Dates reported the Industrial Development Agency was the first in the state able to
have bonds on a retail establishment

PUBLIC HEARING
PROPOSED AGREEMENT WITH M. PARKING CORP. OF SYRACUSE,
NEW YORK FOR OPERATING OF THE PARKING CONCESSION AT
THE TOMPKINS COUNTY AIRPORT
Patsy Allard from the National Planning Data Corporation, said she is concerned about charg-
ing for parking and about raising the fees She questioned what percentage of money being col-
lected for parking is coming back in the county and what is the increased pnce She suggested that
they think of something that would be more equitable to everybody concerned and return revenues
to the county where the money belongs
Mrs Livesay said she attended the Town of Ithaca board meeting and was asked to relay their
feelings to this board They felt we should be more concerned with promoting the use of our air-
port rather than putting an impediment in the way They felt we should be concerned with the
development of our airport rather than providing disincentives
Mr Robey said he would hope this board, having gone with paid parking five years ago, would
not now continue it without some more thought He has suggestions that he would like the com-
mittee to consider — to create differential time zones, short—term parking, long—term parking
and each day place tags on cars with the date so everyone would know when the cars amve and if
they overstay, then the car could be tagged and fined He feels this is an insufficient way to raise
revenues The space needs to be monitored but he feels there should be another way of doing it

ber of Commerce, said the county should be concerned with promoting the airport in whatever way

Mr Williamson, County Attorney, reported the Pyramid Assessment Case was settled There
were six cases, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1981 and 1982 The only ones being tned were 1977-79 There
were no notes of issue filed in the 1981 and 1982 proceedings The 1977, 1978, 1979 proceedings
were discontinued on the ments, which meant the assessment was left the way it was The assess-
ment in 1979 was $15,356,000 As to the 1981 and 1982 cases, the assessment was increased in 1981
from $15,356,000 to S22,000,000 In the settlement, the assessment for 1982 was reduced from
164 October 5, 1982
$22,000,000 to $19,500,000 The town and county tax will be refunded on the 2.5 million reduction
with three per cent interest The figure will be about $5,000 that will be paid back to Pyramid The
assessment for the year 1983 will be reduced so that the $19,500,000 will be reflected on the rolls
and the tax spread with that figure on the rolls The 1982 school tax assessment is reduced from
$22,000,000 to $19,500,000, and the resulting tax rebate with interest at the rate of three per cent
annum will be paid back to Pyramid The school tax for the year 1983 will be reduced to that
amount and the rolls corrected so that school taxes levied in 1983 will have that as a basis —
$19,500,000 In the next three succeeding tax years, they will still have Pyramid on the rolls at
$19,500,000 that will end with the town and county tax rolls for the calendar year 1986 In other
words, the tax January 1, 1986, will be based on the assessment of $19,500,000 Neither party will
bring an action to increase or decrease the assessment dunng that period

PUBLIC HEARING
TOMPKINS COUNTY 1983 BUDGET
NOVEMBER 16, 1982
Chairman Dates called the public heanng to order at 738 p m in the Courtroom
Chairman Dates read a Fire Safety Notification and indicated fire exits
Chairman Dates introduced members of the Board of Representatives and staff
Mr Watros, Chairman of the Budget and Administration Committee, commented on the budget
review process He said he feels changes will be made in the process next year as a result of public
comments and recommendations heard in the last few weeks
Dr Oliver French spoke in support of the Offender Aid and Restoration (OAR) Program, the
Alcoholism Council, and Chemung County Neighborhood Legal Services In his capacity as a
psychiatnst, he has seen the help these services provide people and urged the Board not to deny
funding these programs
David Tyler, spokesman for the FamilyCourt Advisory Council, Duane Hartman, Juvenile In-
vestigator for the Tompkins County Sherf's Department and Vice Chairman of the Family Court
Advisory Council, and Bradford Carruth, President of the Family and Children's Service Board,
recommended that the administration of the Homebound Detention and Family Court Disposi-
tional Alternatives Programs continue with the Family and Children's Service rather than be turned
over to the Department of Social Services
Clinton Cottenll, Supervisor of the Town of Dryden, said he does not feel a 12% tax increase
in this penod of high unemployment is warranted He feels the Board has a responsibility to limit
the tax increase to what the people can afford
Ted Szymanski, official spokesman for the Fire Departments, urged that funds to update com-
munications systems for fire fighters not be eliminated in the budget
David Drumheller, Don Lifton, and Peter Costanza, all of whom are associated with the Citizens
Task Force on Human Services (CITAFO), expressed concern that the budget reviewing process
was unfair, and, until policy can be determined, they feel all cuts made to Human services programs
should be restored
Ruth Darling, Substance Abuse Subcommittee on Mental Health, Florence Ricciuti, Director
of the Alcoholism Council, Jim Sharp, member of the Alcoholism Council Board of Directors, and
Frank De Libero, employee of the Alcoholism Council, all urged that the $7,500 request be res-
tored to the budget of the Alcoholism Council Because of matching funds, this money represents
$15,000 to the Council, which is stnving to become self -supportive It was noted that this request
costs Tompkins County 9 cents per capita
Esther Herkowitz, a teacher who has taught a drinking and dnvmg program, supported the Al-
coholism Council She also supported OAR and OPEN and believes all budget cuts should be res-
tored until the budget review process is revised
Elizabeth McLafferty, President of the Tompkins County Comprehensive Health Planning
Council, and Michael Brown, a volunteer to the Health Planning Council, urged the Board to sup-
port the efforts of the Council
Martin Luster, chairman of the Tompkins County Economic Opportunity Co ration (EOC),
and Janet Fitchen spoke on behalf of the EOC Outreach Program and urged the Board to restore
the $30,782 requested in the budget for the program
Tim Joseph, a member of the Citizens Task Force for Human Services, said he did not think
the budget process was fair He objected to holding a public heanng only a few hours before voting
because, he feels, most Board members have already determined how they will vote This proves
to him that the Board does not consider information gathered at the public heanng to be impor-
tant
Michael Lane, Mayor of the Village of Dryden, asked the Board to restore to the onginal re-
quest the Stream Improvement and Maintenance Program, recommended at S20,000 in Commis-
sioner Liguon's report
Dirk Galbraith, Legal Services Corporation Board of Directors, and Raymond Schlather, attor-
ney, urged the Board to reconsider the decision not to fund the Legal Services Corporation be-
November 16, 1982 187
cause it provides needed services at a relatively low cost
Tom Temzzi, OAR Board of Directors, urged the Board to fund the revised OAR budget re-
quest of $37,870 for 1983
Ed Dollaway said he does not feel there were any representatives of the taxpayers at the public
hearing --only representatives of special interest groups His feeling is that Tompkins County sup-
ports small government and small spending
Don Lowe, Director of Tompkins County SPCA, informed the Board that since the original
budget request for non -dog animal control was cut, the SPCA has analyzed its situation and made
adjustments Without the revised funding, Mr Lowe feels that County non -dog animal control is
infeasible and the animal control shelter will be placed in jeopardy
Catherine Howard supported funding of the Learning Web, which, she believes, will save the
County money in the long run by helping youths to become employable
Roger Lampila and Earl Gnnols urged the Board to tnm the budget more They do not believe
a 12% tax increase can be afforded in Tompkins County, nor do they think it represents success
Jack Roscoe and Mike Stanley, a chaplain at Elmira Correctional Facility, said they would like
to see revenue sharing money invested in Human Services programs because the multiplying ef-
fect --volunteer time and matching funds --makes it a wise investment
Richard Banks, a Cornell University employee, urged the Board to restore the $5,000 request
of OPEN because it pays for itself by putting people back to work
Margaret Kirchgessner, CSEA, spoke against maintaining the old hospital building and brought
a signed petition to that effect She also objected to turning programs over to the State instead of
keeping them on a County level
Margaret Feldman, Tompkins County National Organization for Women (NOW), stated that
several of the items cut from the 1983 budget were those most serving women (with the exception
of the Shelter for Battered Women), which hinders the efforts to make women self-supporting tax-
payers
Harold Feldman asked why funding to only human service agencies was cut, and he recom-
mended that the public study the proposed budget and make recommendations to the Board
Philip Munson, a farmer from the Town of Lansing, said he believes the public heanng will
have a great impression on the Board's decision He also stated that there is a limit to how much
a falling income can be taxed, and the tax burden is great on those who pay taxes on their jobs
(ex Agricultural businesses)
Brian Zaph said he was glad to have the opportunity to learn what the various human services
agencies do He said as a taxpayer, he wanted his Board to continue funding these services
Mary Craypo, Project Vote, said she intends to increase the number of registered voters among
lower income people in Tompkins County so they can help the Board make its decisions She com-
mended Tompkins County for its success and credits this to the large number of caring people in
the community
Elisha Platkin said that reinstating dollars to programs will evoke support from the public
Rick Stil'wagon feels the County should get vendors to sell material goods at a lower cost so
more money will be available to fund human services
Robert Babcock summed up CITAFO's interests
1 CITAFO is a group of interested citizens with a mutual concern about human
services who organized themselves
2 The number of people who came to the public heanng shows the impact of
the concerns people have over human services cuts
Mr Babcock urged the Board not to overlook the values of the programs when reducing dol-
lars, raise taxes before considenng the Contingency Fund, ignore the recommendations of the
Human Services Coalition and Commissioner Brennan's Advisory Council, eliminate the supenor
human services opportunities available in Tompkins County
Memtl Shipherd said he was impressed with the genuine concern of the people who spoke He
suggested that the Board not vote on the budget until they have had time to think over what was
said
Susan Robinson, Town of Enfield, reemphasized three points made
1 At least 50% of the work of human services agencies is done by volunteers
m this community
188 November 16, 1982
2 The amount of money spent on these programs is small compared to the
amount of money saved in the long run
3 Programs need to be accessible to all people
No one else wished to speak Chairman Dates thanked everyone for speaking in such an or-
derly fashion The public hearing was closed at 9 58 p m

Under privilege of the floor, Bryant Robey announced his intention to resign early in 1983 as
a Tompkins County Representative Although he still has the urge to serve, his business requires
a great deal of time, and he does not feel he can devote the necessary amount of time to his posi-
tion as a representative Mr Robey expressed his concerns about the future of Tompkins County
The first concern is the thin line between financial solvency and distress and the importance of a
financial reserve, and second is the rise in local pressure groups,which tend to create an extra layer
between the people and their representatives Mr Robey said e has enjoyed his nine years on the
Board and regrets no longer being able to serve
Mr Tillapaugh, under privilege of the floor, reported that New York State will be imposing an
increase in fees at hospitals in the coming year to compensate for uncollected bills This increase

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

Social Policy at Cornell University) concerning the establishment of a Community Dispute Resolu-
tion Program The committee supported the concept of the proposal with the contingency that the
County should not be expected to financially support the program It is believed that this kind of
alternative will help alleviate many of the cases now clogging the court and police systems
Mr Freeman, Chairman of the Human Services Committee, said the committee has appoint-
ments to recommend later in the meeting At their last meeting, the committee discussed moving
the Office for the Aging to the Biggs Complex By a 5-2 vote, the committee's recommendation

ty Planning Department continues to study alternative locations for the Office Mr Freeman

meeting Mrs Cali asked to continue to be involved with the Housing Task Force She said that

budget

Community Hospital, addressed by a resolution on the agenda, combines three separate accounts

adequate safeguards to assure that money is available when payments to the County become due
He said that although by resolution the County Administrator is authonzed to make year-end ad-
justments to balance the books, Medicaid is running higher than it has in the past The dollar
amount fluctuates weekly and the bills are not processed locally so the exact dollar figures are not

The Board will be informed when the exact figures are known

In the past year as elsewhere in the State, our county has shown a decline in the number of
deeds and mortgages recorded due to the economic situation and high interest rates Overall the
decline in our county in the number recorded was 23% Most other counties expenenced a similar
decline, the highest being 40% in Wayne County and the lowest 1% in Orleans County Statewide
the decline was 14% Nevertheless, our revenues increased approximately $8,800 in the Recording
Office and there was an increase at the Motor Vehicle Office in the net paid to the State of ap-
proximately $34,600 with County retained fees from Motor Vehicle transactions increasing ap-
proximately $3,600 After sixteen years of effective quality service in the County Clerk's Office, our
County Clerk since 1974, Lucille Gnnnell, has resigned to relocate in Florida with her family Let
the record show that her hard work and many fine contnbutions and improvements in all areas of
the Clerk's Office will be sorely missed On her behalf I wish to thank the members of the Board
for their assistance and cooperation dunng the past year

1982 ANNUAL REPORT
TOMPKINS COUNTY MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES
Anthony D. DeLuca, Director
To the Honorable Board of Representatives
Operating under the provisions of Article 41 of the New York State Mental Hygiene Law and
Article 12 of the Tompkins County Charter and Code, the Department of Mental Health is respon-
sible for the planning, development, and coordination of services to the mentally disabled as well
as the provision of those services either directly through department programs or through contract
with pnvate not -for profit agencies
A...inted by the Board of Representatives, the fifteen person Community Mental Health Ser-
vices : • .rd is charged with the development of policy and the supervision of all services to the
mentally disabled Accordingly, the Community Mental Health Services Board established as
pnonties for 1982 the following -
1) Highest pnonty of service to the most severely disabled -
2) Establishment, within existing resources, of an emergency service capable of early interven-
tion so as to minimize repeated and costly hospitalizations
3) A minimum of a 5% increase in fees to be collected by the Mental Health Clinic
4) An evaluation of the administrative structure and functioning of all agencies providing ser-
vice to the mentally disabled either directly or through contract
Policy guidelines established by the Community Mental Health Services Board resulted in the
following specific objectives for the Department of Mental Health Services during 1982
1) to generate in department fees a total of S211,000
2) to implement a clinic emergency service using existing resources
3) to develop a screening mechanism for children from Elmira Psychiatric Center
4) to recertify the Clinic and Meadow House under Office of Mental Health regulations
5) to conduct management/administrative evaluation of all direct and contract agencies
6) to increase services to the more chronically disabled and maximize 100% funding available
for this population
Fees During 1981, department fees totaled $65,000 Because of significant concentration on the
fee collection procedures in the Mental Health Clinic as well as the new level certification at
Meadow House, the department collected $249,432 in fees during 1982 This represents a 283% in-
crease over 1981 levels and an 18% increase over our own 1982 goal
While the dramatic one time increase is largely attributable to the certification of Meadow
House at its new level, it should be noted that the Clinic income level increased 56% over 1981
due to restructured billing procedures
Clinic Emergency Service The Mental Health Clinic has traditionally provided emergency ser-
vice to the community through its after hours program and the assignment of one of its staff to
be available each day for emergencies only The Community Services Board directed the Clinic to
develop, within existing resources, the capability of providing such emergency services on a mobile
outreach basis To this end, the Clinic assigned one staff member, full time, to the emergency out-
reach service In order to provide this service within existing resources, agreements among several
local agencies have been made which will utilize their staff on a volunteer basis to back up and
supplement the work of the Clinic staff member
Screening for Children from Elmira Psychiatric Center Since 1977, Tompkins County Mental
Health Department has reviewed treatment plans for adults who are to be discharged to Tompkins
County This review assures that placement in Tompkins County is appropnate and that needed
services are available During 1982, in cooperation with Elmira Psychiatnc Center, the County Youth
Bureau, and several other youth oriented agencies, a similar review service has been started for
children who are to be discharged from Elmira Psychiatric Center to Tompkins County
Certification of Clinic and Meadow House In 1982, Meadow House became the first certified
continuing treatment program in Western New York Because of this level of certification, the
agency has been able to provide more intense medically oriented treatment to the chronically men-
Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 271
tally disabled In addition, the agency is now eligible to receive third party payments for the care
they give and in 1982 collected $171,000 in such fees The on site visit to certify the Mental Health
Clinic under these same regulations is scheduled for January 1983
Management/Administration Evaluations During 1982, the subcommittees of the Community
Mental Health Services Board evaluated the administrative structure and procedures of all con-
tract and direct services The results of these evaluations were reviewed and recommended chan-
ges are now being implemented in several agencies It is note -worthy that in especially those agen-
cies where changes were recommended, the staff and governing boards expressed the feeling that
the evaluation process both helped the agency and strengthened the ties between the agency and
the Community Services Board
Increase Service to the more Chronically Disabled While the expansion of emergency services
will, in and of itself, benefit the more chronically disabled, the clinic further extended its services
to this group by utilizing the in-house emergency staff to immediately review referrals of patient
from in-patient facilities Because of the level of the caseload at the clinic, waiting lists of several
weeks are not uncommon In order to serve the more severely disabled, however, this system was
implemented in order to provide immediate access to clinic services by individuals disabled enough
to require hospitalization
Dunng 1982, our emphasize on provision of service to the chronically disabled was reflected in
shifts in funding from 50% state aid to 100% state aid through the new CSS program Expanded
100% state aid was realized in case management and Meadow House programs and new 100%
state aid was realized in Department Administration and Challenge Industries
It is the continuing policy of this department to provide needed mental health services to the
entire population of Tompkins County We will continue, however, to monitor special needs of the
most severely disabled and where possible, will expand services within existing resources to provide
for those needs Where new resources are required, it is our intention to utilize the state policy of
providing 100% state aid to programs for the chronically disabled
272 Tompkins County, New York
1982 Annual Report
TOMPKINS COUNTY HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION
Scott Heyman, Investigator
The Tompkins County Board of Supervisors (now the Board of Representatives) created the
Human Rights Commission by resolution passed in December 1963 effective January 1964 The
authority to create local Commissions comes from Article 12-D of the General Municipal Law of
New York State
The Commission provides two kinds of service to the residents of Tompkins County education
and information aimed at fostenng mutual respect and understanding among racial, religious and
other groups, and investigation of complaints of unlawful discrimination The first is provided main-
ly by the 15 volunteer Commission members appointed by the County Board, and the second is
provided mainly by the Commission Investigator
Discrimination charges
Each discrimination complainant chooses among four responses by the Commission Inves-
tigator-- 1) A sounding -board, 2) A messenger to tell the accusedrty that s/he believes unlaw-
ful discrimination took place, 3) A contact with the respondent to find out what lawful reason the
respondent claims to be the reason for the action that the complainant disagrees with, or 4) A
complaint investigator
Since 1977, a senous backlog has existed at the office of the State Division of Human Rights
which investigates Tompkins County discrimination complaints in cooperation with the Commis-
sion Investigator Since the Commission Investigator position was increased to full time in 1979
this problem has been addressed by the resolution of an increasing percentage of complaints on
the Kcal level Since the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with the State Division in
1981 the ability of the two agencies to cooperate to reduce this backlog and improve complaint in-
vestigations has been appreciably upgraded All investigative work done by the investigator is ac-
cepted by the State Division as its own if a formal complaint needs to be filed
Other factors that have helped to bnng success to efforts to reduce time delays have been the
use by the Investigator of volunteer local attorneys through the Direct Enforcement Project (13
participants in 1982), the hiring of additional staff in the Syracuse office on a temporary basis, and
the use of work-study assistants
By the end of 1982 all of these efforts had succeeded in eliminating the investigation backlog
as far as Tompkins County was concerned
The importance of remaining current in complaint investigations cannot be overstated The
benefits of quick investigation include
— witnesses with fresh memones
— witnesses, complainants, and respondents who still live in the area
—no requirement that complainants, who often are not seeking extensive
damages, "stick with" their case over several years
—increased credibility for state and federal human rights laws which "guarantee"
a quick investigation to determine whether a charge ments a fair heanng
— respondents not having to face increased damages because the complaint
process drags on over several years
Thus, at a point in time when state and federal commitments to human n is enforcement ap-
pear
-
pear to be slipping, it is important to note that enforcement in Tompkins County is, perhaps for
the first time, effective and timely
Of note dunng 1982, sexual harassment complaints increased sharply As the Log shows, and
as the local media reported after a press conference on the subject, such complaints are being suc-
cessfully investigated and conciliated, and retaliation against complainants is being prevented Re-
search among female workers indicates that between 40% and 60% of working women are overt-
ly sexually harassed at least once dunng their working lives
Proceedings of the Board of Representatives
273
Complaint statistics
The total number of separate discnmination complaints closed in 1982 was 100 This was a typi-
cal year in that the total in 1981 was 92, in 1980 140, and in 1979 81 The kinds of discnminatron
alleged also were typical with the plurality of complaints based on sex, and with the categones of
sex, race/color, disability, and age remaining more active that the others Past annual reports are
available on request
Investigation training was provided by the Investigator dunng 1982 for Commission members
so that they will be prepared to investigate, in cooperation with the State Division of Human Rights,
any complaints which the Investigator cannot handle because of a conflict of interest
Fair Employment Practices workshops and classes were conducted by the investigator for the
following organizations
Local 1607, Machinists Union, Cargill committee
Local 1607, Machinists Union, Morse committee
Women's Studies Department Speakers Series, Cornell University
Cargill Salt Division (5 times)
Newfield Central School social studies classes
Newfield Central School careers class
Board of Realtors trainees (twice)
The Investigator spent less time on these preventive activities during 1982 in order to focus on
the improvements descnbed above in complaint investigation and elimination of backlogs
The Police/Community Relations Committee of the Commission was organized in 1981 and un-
dertook to gather information during 1982 about how communities around the United States have
addressed problems of tension between police and community
Martin Luther King week activities were again cosponsored by the Commission For the third
year a broad cross-section of the community participated in and viewed exhibits and events that
honored Dr King and reaffirmed his message
For the second year the Commission sponsored an Annual Awards dinner to honor accomplish-
ment in promoting human rights in Tompkins County The Rev Jack Lewis was named to receive
the award for individual accomplishment, William DeWinter for his student essay, and Offender
Aid and Restoration for its accomplishments as an organization
By the end of the year the plans to move the Commission's office to the Biggs Building on
Trumansburg Road were nearly complete The Commission Investiggator took the position that this
location would offer advantages in terms of organization of space, ability to share clerical staff with
other County agencies, and handicapped access that outweighed the location 3 miles from downtown
Ithaca In addition, Tompkins County will save nearly 100% of the cost of renting space from a
commercial landlord The impact of this move on the service that we offer will be carefully
monitored dunng 1983 and periodic reports to the Commission and to the County Board will be
made
The Commission's office volunteer for the past three years, Steven Fellows, again spearheaded
a vanety of activities aimed at improving public understanding of the needs and rights of disabled
persons
Fellows provided consultations on ramps, bathrooms, and parking for area churches, service
providers, a community center, schools, and the City of Ithaca In addition, he convened meeting
with the Ithaca Housing Authonty and with Center Ithaca on the need of housing for the disabled
Fellows worked with an Ithaca College class under the tutelage of Sarah Rich, Professor of
Health, Physical Education, and Recreation The students performed site research in area res-
taurants to determine their physical accessibility to the disabled
Fellows also served as chair of a Human Rights Commission committee on disability awareness
that was organized during 1982 The group met with representatives of vanous service providers
in the community and identified a problem of lack of communications between them and govern-
ment officers The group decided to work dunng 1983 to fill this gap in communications
During 1981, the Commission went on record opposing the decision of the YMCA of Ithaca
to construct its new facility on Graham Road in the Village of Lansing During 1982, the Commis-
sion decided to respond to persistent comments and speculations that the YMCA's decision might
have been made necessary because of the reluctance of the YMCA board to build its facility in a
largely -black neighborhood An investigation was conducted and was released to the community at
its conclusion The investigation identified for the record those individuals who had made these
274 Tompkins County, New York
accusations, and allowed them to argue their case The YMCA Executive Director and the group's
Board of Directors were likewise allowed an opportunity to explain the background of their decision
to locate out of the center of Tompkins County
The investigators came to the conclusion that there was no racial motive behind the decision
of the YMCA to locate where it did (Nevertheless, the Commission remained on record in its
resolve that the location chosen was ill-advised) The Commission investigators did share with the
community their conviction that the City of Ithaca could and should have sold the "Tin Can" site
to the YMCA for a reasonable pnce

Criminal Justice Services show that in the first eleven months of 1982, Tompkins County had a
total of 4,597 reportable cnmes The Sheriffs Department handled 1,047 of these crimes The
remainder was investigated by all other agencies in the County
Our detective division recovered stolen property valued at $146,533 02 The traffic division is-
sued 2,095 summonses for traffic violations Fines levied by town justices for these traffic violations

Road patrols investigated 1,060 accidents dunng the year There were 1,484 vehicles involved
in these accidents, 679 people were injured and there was a total of nine fatalities This was down
from the fifteen fatalities in 1981
The jail population once again increased from the previous year In 1981 there were 963 males
and 158 females remanded and in 1982 this figure was 1067 males and 153 females We were forced
by overcrowding to house pnsoners in Schuyler County in 1982 at a cost of $35 00 per day
The County Board of Representatives made several moves in 1982 to bring the jail in com-
pliance with some state minimum standards A fire and smoke detection system has been installed
and is presently in operation Studies by the Facilities Development Corporation and architects are
now in progress and recommendations to the Board are forthcoming on expansion so that the
County can comply with the minimum standards of the State Commission of Corrections
Concerned citizens of Tompkins County continued to work with pnsoners in the jail The Jail
Programs Committee, Fnends of the Library, OAR and others volunteered many hours of their
time Police cooperation in Tompkins County was very, noticeable in 1982 and helped to bring
crimes committed in the county to a quick and successful solution
The Sixth Zone Training School was again held at the crash/fire/rescue training building at the
County Airport All police agencies in the county participated in this training effort for new recruits
in the police profession
Volunteer fire companies continued to be a most valuable partner in the care of people injured
in accidents and in other emergency situations I deeply appreciate their help and support in our
lifesaving efforts
Once Again, I would like to thank the County Board of Representatives for their help and sup-
port during 1982

1982 ANNUAL REPORT
TOMPKINS COUNTY LIBRARY
Louis Mezgar, Director
The major goal of the Tompkins County Public Library is to provide better and more respon-
sive library service to the people it serves The first and most difficult step toward this goal was
completed during 1982
The library's Automated Library Information System (ALIS) was installed in February and be-
came operational on December 13th ALIS replaced the library's old Brodac circulation system
which in recent years was constantly at the bnnk of technical breakdown Maintenance for the old
system was becoming increasingly costly and was demanding more and more staff time than avail-
able resources would permit
The implementation of ALIS took a tremendous amount of planning and work Inevitably some
of the library's services suffered temporanly during the implementation process For example, the
library was forced to shorten public service hours dune the summer while the staff worked at
labeling and converting the collection When ALIS was finally ready to be put into operation, we
literally closed the "old library" on December llth and opened a "new library" on December 13th
Faced with new procedures and work routines, even staff members who have worked in the library
for years felt inexperienced No amount of advance planning and training can replace actual "hands
on" operating experience Suddenly the checking out of materials was not the only function of the
library's circulation system All of the circulation work, most of which was previously done in se-
quential and time consuming fragmented "back office" operations, was now simultaneously being
done at check out We had quickly moved from the 19th to the 20th century
Unfortunately the immediate results of all this in the very beg.inning were long lines of waiting
for the patrons and tremendous pressure on the circulation staff Major change is never without
growing pains and at times it can seem that "new and improved" is no improvement at all But as
our staff gams in expenence, and as more functions of ALIS are activated, our users will directly
expenence the benefits of the new system during 1983 and the years to come Fortunately for us
most of our patrons understood this and we would like to sincerely thank them for their patience
and cooperation
The new automated system, however, is only an efficient tool for providing users with better
access to the library's matenals Having the best matenals available in the first place is becoming
increasingly difficult for public libranes The shelves of the Tompkins County Public Library are
open to the public and most of our collection is available for borrowing And yet most books being
published are punted on paper with a very short life expectanThe quality of binding has been
declining since the 1950's and has been very poor since the ear 1970's New books added to the
library's collection are falling apart after five or sic circulations o make matters worse, the book
publishing business is under economic pressure, not only to pnnt books using inferior paper and
binding, but to have minimal or no inventory of previously published titles Consequently, we can-
not replace many books which have not been returned by borrowers even if they pay for the lost
titles Likewise, books which have fallen apart because of inferior paper or binding or misuse often
cannot be easily replaced
These facts are making it increasingly difficult for public libranes to carry out one of the tradi-
tional functions of libraries That is to be a place where the masterpieces of literature or other
landmark publications are stored, preserved, and made available for the public Interlibrary loan,
as a means of obtaining out of print materials for our users, is no longer a solution to the problem
Due to financial and preservation considerations some libranes have started to limit interlibrary
loans of their materials to other libranes Others have established fees which are charged to the
borrowing libraries and ultimately to the individual borrowers themselves This situation has
resulted in more than a 20% drop (from 900 to 700) in our interlibrary loan transactions
We hope that in the near future under better economic conditions a nationwide effort will be
made to re-pnnt quality out of print books at affordable pnces so that libraries can fill in the gaps
in their collections and again make these matenals available to their users
Under the present conditions it rs the intention of the Tompkins County Public Library to ac-
quire and to provide access to books and other library matenals in heavy demand by our users and
to maintain a collection most responsive to their established needs Our new automated system
will enable us to recognize where the demands and needs exist By studying the detailed data which
is available on ALIS, based on actual circulation transactions made every day, we will know what
Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 277
our users are interested in and want more of
1982 has been a major year of change in the history of the Tompkins County Public Library
This change has not been without problems We knew and expected this We also felt confident
that these problems could and would be overcome The end result will be better and more effi-
cient library service for everyone
I would like to sincerely thank the Friends of the Library and their seventy-five volunteers who
worked hard and contributed over 3,400 hours to make 1982 such a successful year of accomplish-
ments
1982 was a difficult year demanding hard work and devotion "beyond the call of duty" from all
staff members I would like to express my deep gratitude to our staff, and the Library Board for
their guidance
I also wish to thank the Tompkins County Board of Representatives for their continued finan-
cial support of the library and County Administrator John J Murphy, Personnel Commissioner
Hugh Hurlbut, Public Works Commissioner William Mobbs and County Systems Analyst Fred
Hoffman for their valuable help dunng 1982

1982 ANNUAL REPORT
TOMPKINS COUNTY PROBATION DEPARTMENT
Lois Humphrey, Probation Director
SUMMARY
Probation workload declined slightly in 1982 in the areas of intake, investigation, and super-
vision Criminal Court Diversion program showed an increase in caseload Several staff changes
occurred We were fortunate to replace all terminating employees with experienced workers
Further development of the Performance Appraisal Review (evaluation process), the
Departmental Policy and Procedure Manual, and the Interagency Service Coordination was ac-
complished during 1982 In addition, the implementation of the new Division of Probation Rules
was begun Our goal to improve timely submission of probation reports was also met
Department objectives for 1983 are still more ambitious The Board of Representatives has ap-
proved a reclassification of the position of Financial Investigator to Senior Probation Officer The
Senior Probation Officer will be responsible for developing and implementing Intensive Supervision
and Community Service Restitution Programs Exploration of the New York Statewide Police In-
formation Network has begun in anticipation of a computer terminal tie-in giving us immediate ac-
cess to cnminai histories and allowing us to process jail detainees more quickly Our greatest hand-
icap at this time is inadequate space to insure privacy during interviews We are confident that with
the cooperation of the Planning Department, the Public Safety and Corrections Committee, the
Board of Representatives, and the Courts, this problem may be resolved

our year so successful
I wish to express my thanks to the Fire Coordinator and the Board of Representatives for their
support of the fire investigation team concept
Further thanks to those 32 applicants from the county fire and police agencies who applied for
team membership Each was well qualified to serve My appreciation to the Arson Task Force
