Present 14 Representatives Excused 1 (Representative Livesay )
On motion, the following minutes were approved December 7, 1982, December 20, 1982, and
January 4, 1983
Under privilege of the floor, Mr Robert Babcock spoke on behalf of CITAFO, a Citizens' Task
Force for Human Services The group wanted to express their concerns about the leadership of the
Human Services Committee and raise the following points concerning the chairman of the Human
Services Committee 1) The person should possess sensitivity, expenence, and knowledge about the
nature of human services He should realize that they are not as easily quantifiable in terms of cost
efficiency as material products 2) The chairman should encourage, respect, and facilitate year—
round open debate on human services issues 3) The chairman should be skilled at arriving at a con-
sensus without polarizing either members of the Board of Representatives or members of his con-
stituency
Mamie Kirchgessner, underprivilege of the floor, said that as a taxpayer, she would like to see
the Biggs building sold She feels she could have contributed to the special committee appointed to
study use of the Biggs Complex and would have liked to serve on that committee
Chairman Dates introduced Dr John Hirshfeld, who presented the "Report by the Special
Citizens Ad Hoc Advisory Committee on the Use of the Biggs Complex " The committee's recom-
mendation is that the County should move as many offices as is feasible to the old hospital building
starting in 1983 This should increase efficiency by bnnging a number of County departments
together, keep the building and vacant land in public hands, providing time to study the best use of
the vacant land, protect Tompkins Community Hospital, stopthe expense of maintaining an empty
building; reduce the amount of vacant space in the builing to a manageable level, provide
Tompkins County with all the office space it will need in the foreseeable future at a reasonable cost
1 For the remainder of the building, the committee recommends renting three apartments and the
free —standing house that are ready for occupancy Several more apartments could be prepared for
rental Some of the unoccupied space is needed by Tompkins Community Hospital for storage and
employee locker rooms In addition, attractive basement space could be rented to small developing
businesses It is proposed that the rental of the building be turned over to the Tompkins County
Area Development Corporation, a hospital real estate holding corporation, or to a private developer
to convert into apartments or offices
The committee did not have time to study uses of the land However, it learned that there is con-
siderable interest in Ithaca in the development of a life—time health care residential complex for
older people The lack of such a facility in Tompkins County results in many of our older citizens
leaving the County to live in one of these facilities elsewhere
Although this proposal is complex and will take much courage and work to implement, the com-
mittee believes the proposed solution will greatly benefit the entire County
Dr Hirshfeld said he appreciates the opportunity to present this report to the Board of Repre-
sentatives and enjoyed working on the committee
Chairman Dates dismissed the committee and thanked Mr Brown, Mr Cutting, Mr Farnsworth,
Mr DiGiacomo, and Dr Hirshfeld for their time, effort, and dedication In accepting the report of
the committee, Chairman Dates reassigned the responsibility for a recommendation to this Board
on the Biggs land and buildings to the Planning and Public Works Committee The committee is
charged with making recommendations to the Board not later than April 19, 1983, on a plan concept
for meeting County office space needs and a plan for use of the Biggs buildings and land
Mr Ray accepted the charge,to the Planning and Public Works Committee and asked that any
public comments and ideas be put in wnting and delivered to the Planning Office
Chairman Dates called on R. Davis Cutting, Anthony DiGiacomo, and Robert Farnsworth to
add their comments to the presentation of the report
Mr Culligan, Chairman of the Health and Education Committee, said the committee met and
some of their action is reflected on the agenda They will also have an appointment to recommend
later in the meeting The committee received the monthly report from the Mental Health Board on
payment for after hours coverage They approved the specifications for the Health Department cars
8 January 18, 1983
and also approved receipt of a $1,000 gift to the Health Department from a grateful family The
committee learned that doctors can receive hepatitis shots through the Health Department
Mr Mason, Chairman of the Public Safety and Corrections Committee said the committee has
some appointments to recommend later in the meeting At their last meeting, the committee ap-
proved the specifications for the Sheriff's cars An effort was made in writing the specifications to
allow all major manufacturers to bid on the cars and also to meet end—of—year closeout deadlines
Mr Mason noted that a change was made in the type of vehicles being bid from what was requested
in the Shenff's 1983 budget Although the number of cars has not changed, the request for five
marked cars and one unmarked car has been changed to four marked cars and two unmarked cars
The change was discussed at length by both the Public Safety and Corrections and the Budget and
Administration Committees after evaluating the Shenff s concerns Mr Mason said he met with
Judge Friedlander to discuss the future of the Family Court Advisory Council and some issues the
Council could be addressing The enabling resolution permits up to six at—large members on the
Family Court Advisory Council There are currently three at —large representatives Mr Mason said
any at—large nominations would be welcomed
Mr Freeman, Chairman of the Human Services Committee, had no committee report
Mr Ray, Chairman of the Planning and Public Works Committee, said the committee met last
week and has several items on the agenda He said that after completion of the security fence project

RESOLUTION NO. 31 - APPOINTMENT TO FILL VACANCY - COUNTY
CLERK
Moved by Mr Watros, seconded by Mr Mason, that Rachel S Pierce be appointed Tompkins
County Clerk Until December 31, 1983 There were no other nominations for this position
Mrs Nichols said she does not understand why there is such haste to fill the vacancy Although
she has no objection to the individual, she feels it is a mistake to make this decision when a lawsuit
is possible She suggested that the County Attorney request a written procedure for filling vacancies
from the New York State Attorney General's office on behalf of the Board of Representatives Until
a response is received, Mrs Nichols does not feel action should be taken
Mrs Livesay asked County Attorney Williamson his opinion on the implications of the Oswego
County case Mr Williamson explained that a lawsuit resulted from the Oswego County
Legislature's appointment of a district attorney to fill a vacancy The decision handed down by the
Appellate Division January 6 stated that although the office of district attorney is a local office, the
state is involved with this office because it fixes the salary of a district attorney Also, the distnct at-
torney represents the state when prosecuting individuals who commit crimes Although Mr William-
son thinks that the County Clerks position would also be considered a local office, there are distin-
guishable factors between the two offices The County Board fixes the salary, of a County Clerk, not
the State Although the County Clerk is in charge of the courts, there are three paid State employees
in the Tompkins County Clerk's office who handle court matters It is Mr Williamson's under-
standing that Oswego County intends to appeal the decision of the Appellate Division to the Court
of Appeals He said the ma or factors involved are the conflict between Municipal Home Rule and
State Rule, the Tompkins County Charter and Code, adopted by the people in 1968, which states
that this should be a local option by the County Board, and the appeal of the decision of the Ap-
pellate Division in the Oswego County Case
Mrs Livesay asked why the appointment to fill a vacancy in the County Clerk's position in 1974
was made by the Governor if the Tompkins County Charter and Code was adopted in 1968 Mr Wil-
liamson said he could not recall all ofthefacts, but he said apparently this situation was unnoticed
at the time He noted again the growing controversy between Municipal Home Rule and Al-
bany/State Rule Another possibility is that other counties had not adopted the local laws which, in
their opinions, gave the local County Boards the authority to appoint
Mr Ray said that he does not feel there has been any haste in the selection process of a can-
didate to fill the County Clerk's position The concern is to maintain the staff load in the County
Clerk's office, which means filling a vacancy which occurred at midnight on January 31, 1983 The
search process for the Republican Party began in early December and more than one Democrat and
Independent showed interest and was interviewed dunng the process There is a wntten opinion on
file from the Attorney General relating to the nght to proceed with this selection process Mr Ray
reminded the Board that in the 1968 vote adopting the Tompkins County Charter, 62 percent of
those people who voted on the Charter issue were in favor of the Charter form of government, in-
cluding this particular process When the Charter was revised in the late 1970s, there was no interest
in changing the process drastically Mr Ray also pointed out that there would be no additional
22 February 1, 1983
lawyer's fees if Mr Williamson defends this appointment because he is the paid Tompkins County
Attorney
Mr Stein questioned the provision in the resolution authorizing the County Attorney to initiate
any legal action, something that is inferred in all resolutions He said this indicates to him that a
challenge to the appointment is expected Mr Williamson said that there might be activity by the At-
torney General's office and this paragraph gives the County Attorney the direction to defend the
Board's action
Mr Stein asked the County Attorney if he thought he could defend the legality of this action
in the face of the Oswego County case Mr Williamson said that he could defend this Board's action,
but he could not predict the outcome
Mrs Nichols asked the County Attorney if he could get a ruling in writing from the Attorney
General's office and thus avoid the cost and trouble of a lawsuit Mr Williamson said the Board of
Representatives has the authority to direct the County Attorney to do such things He said there was
a 1980 opinion by the Attorney General's Office that states that this office is to be filled by the
County Board However, Mr Williamson's understanding is that the Attorney General has reversed
this opinion
It was noted that even without a County Clerk, the County Clerk's office would continue to func-
tion

Sister Rosana said the Southern Tier Community Food Bank was originally funded through a
CETA grant When CETA was terminated in September 1981, the Food Bank operated for four
months on gifts and donations Community Service Administration funds were received from
January 1982 through June 1982 Since then, the Food Bank has been operating on gifts from chur-
ches, donations, and funds from county legislatures The Food Bank is requesting that each of the
five participating counties fund the Food Bank based on the percentage of the food distnbuted each
county received The request to Tompkins County is for retroactive funds amounting to $930 (11%)
for the last three months of 1982, $6,000 for 1983 (disbursed in quarterly payments), and a provision
to include the Food Bank in future budgets

mation and assistance

Craft Road in the Village of Lansing. Although the roads are spelled differently, the distinction is
not clear when emergency calls are made to the central dispatcher Mr Mason suggested that
municipalities confer with the County Planning Department before taking similar actions Mrs
Livesay said she is concerned that without some formal requirements, the same thing could happen

added responsibility of the EOC will require extra staff Mr Herndon said he is hopeful that volun-
teers will continue to participate with the EOC, thus eliminating that need It was explained that
Tompkins County opted to handle the program in this manner However, any private, non-profit
(501c) organization can assume the responsibility of signing the contract and transporting the food
from Elmira to Tompkins County for distnbution Mr Robey asked why this request from the
Southern Tier Community Food Bank was not included in the 1983 budget Mr Freeman said that
the request was received after January 1, 1983 Mrs Betty Morrow was given pnvilege of the floor
and said she thinks there should be some means of standardization of eligibility and a record of or-
ganizations receiving and distributing food to eliminate duplication of services Mr Ray suggested
that each participating organization receive a letter reminding them of their responsibility in estab-
lishing the criteria for eligibility and the importance of this responsibility A short roll call was taken

CITAFO believes the pnonty setting scheme is congruent to their requests for the establishment of
Countylicies on funding However, Mr Babcock said there is concern about the proposed limita-

consultants that they should move forward in building a jail with a capacity of 55 cells However, if
there are justifications for changing the size of the facility developed between now and the design
phase, they certainly will be considered He said the committee has made a point of encouraging this
board to continue to support programs in existence that provide alternatives to incarceration and to
vigorously explore new programs with the view of keeping the jail population at an absolute mini-
mum He pointed out that they have reviewed many different sites and did look carefully at sites
within the city They were all in agreement that it would be ideal to have the facility located in the
vicinity of the courthouse, however, for many reasons, none of the sites reviewed proved feasible
For that reason, the committee recommends a site near the Tompkins County Airport, specifically
on the Warren Road side, for the location of a new jail They believe that the demands placed on
the site by a facility of this type can be compatible with modest use of the rest of the area as an air -
park The committee recommends that the board consider moving the Shenff's Office and ad-
ministrative functions of the Sheriff along with the jail This would require a public referendum If
the board feels it should proceed, the committee recommends there be a referendum on the ballot
in November 1984 that, if passed, will allow the Sheriff's Office to be located within the public safety
complex The committee has also discussed proposed use of the existing facility They feel there is
a use for the existing building The courthouse complex is cntically short of office space and storage
space It is recommended that the board proceed with the next design phase for the Warren Road
site A public heanng will be held September 6, 1983 at 9 30 a m
There was a lengthy discussion and many questions were asked Some board members said they
would like more city sites looked at and some felt a new jail should be convenient to the courts
Mr Mason said any ideas and comments are welcome and will be given consideration
Mr Dates said if members of the public have comments, they can reserve them for the public
heanng at 9 30 a m on September 6
On motion, meeting adjourned at 7 41 p m

PUBLIC HEARING

JAIL COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE JAIL PLANNING
STUDY
Chairman Dates called the public heanng to order
Barbara Irish, Zoning Officer of the Village of Lansing, read a letter from Anne Furry, Mayor
of the Viliage of Lansing, regarding the site on county land at the Tompkins County Airport that
is being considered for the new Tompkins County Jail She felt certain information must be con-
sidered when looking at the site and she had many concerns
Douglas Salter, President of Planning Data Corporation, and a Lansing resident, said he felt it
is vitally important that every job they can keep in Ithaca that they control is important He would
like the board to have a plan to keep employment in downtown Ithaca
Tom Marley, Director of the Research Park, said he hopes they will all have a chance to discuss
the consultants' report on the economic impact
Enc Lerner, Director of Offender Aid and Restoration, said he would like a central location, a
formal plan with commitment of alternative programs and commitment of what to do with the old
jail
No one else wished to speak and the public heanng was closed at 9 45 a m
The minutes of the August 9th meeting were unanimously adopted
Mrs Livesay said she was concerned that they have not consulted the Village and Town of Lans-
ing regarding the recommended jail site near the airport She also feels that past planning docu-
ments should be consulted as they go along
Mr Mason said he doesn't think since he has been involved in organizations, both social and
political, that he has ever been involved in a committee that did as much public relations work as
this one has to inform the public He said they have not consulted every individual and municipality;
that is the reason for public hearings Municipal representatives have had an opportunity to discuss
with the committee their concerns and many have The committee set forth objectives from the start
in siting a facility that was not going to cost the taxpayers any more than necessary and concentrate
on county -owned property At the same time, they were not going to remove valuable commercial
property from the tax rolls They also considered neighborhood impact, buffer zones, etc It is the
board's decision where the facility will be sited and what type of institution it will be The committee
has made a recommendation and the board can modify it as they wish He welcomes any input from
this board and any municipalities involved He said Mr Liguon has done additional research cover-
ing some of the issues raised at the informational meeting and is prepared to answer questions
Mr Culligan asked if they could wait and look at a few more city sites
Mr Lifton urged the board to give senous consideration to the size of the building He said they
will have time to consider alternatives to incarceration which would keep the need for a large facility
down and would save taxpayers up to $400,000 based on current estimates He feels a 44 -cell facility
is the appropnate size

DWI funds for the purchase of radar for the State Police
Mr Duane Chapman supported the use of DWI funds to finance radar equipment
Sergeant Dewey Dawson, Tompkins County Sheriff's Department and a member of the STOP -
DWI Advisory Board, spoke in support of the purchase of radar units with STOP -DWI funds
Mr Mason said he was concerned about the procedures that were followed in bunging this
STOP -DWI resolution before the Board The proposal originated in the STOP -DWI Advisory
Board and was brought to the Public Safety and Corrections Committee for action After consider-
able discussion, the committee approved the proposal as submitted and sent it on to the Budget and
Administration Committee At that point, the Budget and Administration Committee amended the
ongtnal resolution to eliminate part of the funding proposal He said the County Charter as well as
Rules of the Board have a specific procedure for bunging information before this board on commit-
tee structure It does not say one committee can supersede another committee in bringing a resolu-
tion before this board
Mr Watros raised his concerns relative to the issue Mr Mason presented He suggested that a
committee be appointed to look at and bung forth recommendations as to amendments which
should be made to the Charter to reflect the true intention of this body as a whole He agrees that
no one should be superseded in the terms of committees, but it appears the method in which many
resolutions flow result in the Budget and Administration Committee being the last to act and would
indicate they have some role to play and if they don't, they should adjust the Charter
Mr Stein suggested they not take up the recommendation He feels the Charter is fine
Mrs Livesay said she feels the problem is one of definition of what is the Budget and Ad-
ministration Committee's role

FOR 1984 TOMPKINS COUNTY BUDGET -
Chairman Dates called the public hearing to order He said the hearing tonight is Just to hear
people who have not had an opportunity to make any requests to date
Mr John Forester, speaking on behalf of CITAFO, urged the board to look very hard at the
Human Service Coalitions list of 17 recommendations, to respect the work of the Coalition and fund
the programs as best they can
Mr Tim Joseph said he thinks revenue shanng money should be put into the overall budget
rather than separate He feels by funding human services out of revenue shanng money, they give
the impression human services are expendable and if the money dnes up they will cut all human ser-
vices
Mr John Murphy, County Administrator, read the notice of the proposed use heanng and ex-
plained that it is held to comply with Federal Revenue Sharing guidelines to notify the public of
available funds In Tompkins County we work with the Human Services Coalition and different
agencies and to date have received about seventeen applications, so this heanng is basically to
propose uses for revenue shanng funds not previously submitted There are additional meetings
coming up for an opportunity for additional comments The informational meeting on the 1984
budget is tentatively set for November 3 and the public heanng on the budget is scheduled for
November 17
Mr Merrill Shipherd suggested that in the future it be clear in the public notice that only new
proposals would be discussed at this hearing
Ms Nancy Tresner said she would like to see federal revenue shanng allocations given to all
human service agencies that applied for them She said Tompkins County's need for day care is
acute
No one else wished to speak and Chairman Dates closed the public hearing at 5 53 p m
PUBLIC HEARING
HOSPITAL PROPERTIES NO LONGER NEEDED FOR PUBLIC USE
Chairman Dates called the public heanng to order
Ms Mame Kirshgessner said she felt the only sensible thing to do is to sell the building
Mr Guy Van Benschoten urged the board to declare the property excess and find a way that the
property be sold and put back on the tax rolls
Ms Valerie Rockney asked if the board is considering authonzing the payment of a realtor's fee
Mr Ray said if a proposal comes forth with a realtor's fee in it, then they will have to address that
as one of the items of negotiation that takes place after an offer comes They have no wntten policy
that says they wilt not pay a realtor's fee There is nothing that excludes a realtor's fee
Ms Deborah Dietnch asked about the cntena Mr Ray summanzed the criteria They cannot
sell the hospital unless by a weighted vote of two-thirds this board declares it not needed for public
use, cash deposit will be required, deposits will be returned to unsuccessful proposers, sealed
proposals will be accepted in the County Administrator's office until 9 30 a m on November 1, they
October 18, 1983 153
reserve the right to reject any and all proposals, the board will approve by reference in a resolution
the land so designated no longer needed for public use, there is a 35 -acre maximum per proposal
Mr Rocco Lucent' asked if the board considered putting the building up for public auction Mr
Ray said there has been discussion about an auction, but some of them felt it would not be in the
best interest of the county
Ms Valerie Rockney asked if the seating off of the one wing has been the reason the other
negotiations have broken down Mr Ray said both previous proposals said that if we did not sell that
wing, the negotiations were off They have to protect the hospital's interest in that area Ms Rockney
also asked how they justify the money being spent on maintenance Mr Ray said hopefully they will
find that this board will get more for the hospital if it sells than it has invested in maintenance
No one else wished to speak and the chairman closed the public hearing at 6 15 p m
It was Moved by Mr Culligan, That the minutes of September 20 and October 4 be approved,
subject to a correction by the clerk Unanimously adopted by a voice vote
Under pnvilege of the floor, Terry Pasco said he felt it would be useful for the board to clarify
in the notice to the public what, it is they are going to be considering at the revenue shanng public
hearing He said he was concerned that the Department of Social Services hearing on the con-
solidated services has been scheduled at 1 p m when the majonty of the public cannot attend He
urged that when scheduling next year's hearing that it be scheduled when the public can attend
Ms Nancy Tresner spoke about the unfortunate scheduling of the Department of Social Services
Public Service Plan and urged the board to put pressure on the Department of Social Services to
reschedule that meeting for this year She also commented on the planning process for the Depart-
ment of Social Services and the fact that no needs assessment has been done to date

studied at length several sites for locating a new jail Of those, the committee's objective was to
reduce and bring back no more than two recommendations The committee has reaffirmed their
onginai recommendation for county -owned airport land and, in addition, a site within the city Be-

the two proposed sites

for the sale of the old hospital They discussed the windows for the Courthouse, and there is a
resolution on the agenda today They discussed a letter from the State stating they would not get a
grant for the asbestos clean-up project at the Tompkins County Library It was the consensus othe
committee that if the asbestos project goes through and if they decide to do it themselves, and the
window project goes through, the funding be over a penod of years so it will not impact the taxpayer
all at once They asked, since they are in a different situation relating to the asbestos project, that

tion was before the committees of this board, he made a commitment that they would lave public
information meetings and the community would be informed The county prepared a brochure out-

ADJOURNED MEETING
and
PUBLIC HEARING ON 1984 TOMPKINS COUNTY BUDGET
November 17, 1983
Chairman Dates called the meeting to order at 730 p m
Present 15 Representatives
Mr John J Murphy, County Administrator, stated theyreviewed the Medicaid Program of So-
cial Services together with Aid to Dependent Children (DC) and Home Relief Those expendi-
tures for HomeRelief and ADC are paid through our local office so they have good records on what
that cost is per month They do not see any significant change They have been concerned with Ac-
count 6102 — Medicaid and the charge they receive from the State of New York. They do not pay
the Medicaid bills through our local office They are paid through the state office They have been
discussing the weekly and monthly figures with the State of New York Mr David Doyle, Mr Mur-
phy, together with representatives from the Department of Social Services, suggested an appropna-
tion of 2 8 million dollars — county share only There was discussion on whether that figure should
be reduced It looks like 2 8 million dollars is more than they need However, they felt there should
be some factor for growth They do not want to overbudget, but do not want to underbudget either
Mr Watros said the Budget Committee worked diligently to attempt to put a budget together
that would be acceptable to people in the county However, because of numerous factors, the tax levy
will increase significantly and will amount to about a 22 percent increase as proposed tonight He
pointed out 22 percent is a big increase, but one has to look back a few years to get a picture of coun-
ty taxation to appreciate the 22 percent Since 1979 and 1980, it has been relatively small He pointed
out that the fund balances in 1981 were 5.5 million dollars It declined in 1982 to 3 8 million and 1983
to 3 2 million, and if they were to take another $600,000 out as suggested, it would drop further It
wouldn't take too long to quash that balance It would have a drastic effect
Mr Ken Share, City of Ithaca, was concerned about the efficiency of where these dollars are
spent in the community He felt the fund balance could be used for a far greater reward through the
human services agencies that requested them
Mr John Smith, on behalf of the Progressive Citizens' Alliance Group, asked about various ap-
propnations in the budget Mr Murphy answered his questions
Mr John Marcham commented that he has had a chance to compare municipalities and has been
impressed with the way the county buys items and services like cars, typewnters, etc Taxpayers are
getting their monies' worth in these services Also, his observation is that the impact of the county
tax, granted even with getting a lot of state and federal money, is still considerably less than the other
municipalities He felt they do provide a good value and the impact on the taxpayers is not un-
reasonable
Mr Howard Conklin, member of the Farm Bureau Board of Directors and a fulltime farmer in
the Town of Caroline, said farmers are womcd when real estate taxes are going up like the 22 per-
cent increase in this county
Helen Romanowsky spoke in general for people on fixed incomes She said it was difficult for
them to keep up with these escalation of taxes
November 17, 1983 „ 181
Nina Miller, Director of Suicide Prevention Crisis Center, as the director of an agency that

Nancy Tresner spoke on behalf of the Drop -In Center's request for revenue shanng money She
urged the board to fund all the human service agencies' requests
Philip Munson, resident of the Town of Lansing, a fanner and a member of the Town Board,
said an increase in taxes is a real burden to farmers He feels a big reserve is sound business and
appreciates their realizing it He feels this is a fine budget
Ed Butts asked about the A1990 Contingent Fund Mr Murphy explained the purpose of the
fund
Raymond Schlather, City of Ithaca, said the Chemung Neighborhood Legal Services Program's
request for funding has been cut He encouraged them to go into the surplus and restore all these
human services requests that were cut.
Bert Hilliard, taxpayer and resident of the Town of Lansing and a member of the Town Board,
asked how the older people on fixed incomes are going to be able to keep their homes if this 22%
tax increase is passed Also, is there any incentive for a young person to try to start out in this county
and own land Is there any incentive for anybody to work anymore when there is such a nice welfare
program He feels if a poll were taken, that the majonty of people in Tompkins County would agree
that social sennces is getting out of hand
Art Pratt, City of Ithaca, said his interest would be to try to stop increasing everything He said
he has written to representatives in Congress to stop increasing federal retirement, but it still goes
up He doesn't think they are doing a bad job, but wished they could pass the word to higher govern-
ment that there should be some way to stop adding new items
John Forester, Citizens' Task Force, is concerned about human services, people living on fixed
incomes and the employment situation He thinks they should fund human services and honor the
recommendation of the Human Services Coalition and fund those found to be appropnate
Diedre Silverman, taxpayer and resident of the Town of Danby, said she is disturbed by, the 22%
increase in taxes In the case of the emergency shelter, she thinks it will save the county money in
many ways She urged them to support it
Paul Bennett, City of Ithaca, felt if we don't meetr ventive human services needs n, it will
cost a lot of money later He also spoke about the Medicaid item
Mr Murphy explained they have $661,000 for Medicaid that they expect to get back from the
State of New York under their latest projections It is the highest figure anyone is aware of regarding
reimbursement back from the State for the year 1984
Ernie Harrelson, Director of the American Red Cross, asked the board to reconsider revenue
sharing, particularly the Housing Task Force and Emergency Shelter
Vicky Dean, City of Ithaca, said she would like to ask all these people who are asking for
programs to be put back into the budget, what happened 15-20 years ago when we didn't have any
such programs — we survived
Pat Valls, Task Force for Battered Women, responded to Ms Dean's question She said they did
not have a place to go and these programs have really helped
No one else wished to speak and Chairman Dates closed the public heanng at 8 55 plm
The adjourned meeting was reconvened at 9 09 p m

PUBLIC HEARING
PROPOSED LOCAL LAW NO. 1 OF 1983
The public hearing concerning Local Law No 1 of 1983 declanng that Tompkins County will not
enforce the New York State Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code was called to order by
Chairman Dates No one wished to speak and the heanng was closed
A local law declaring that the County of Tompkins will not enforce the New York State Uniform
Fire Prevention and Building Code
Be it enacted by the Board of Representatives of the County of Tompkins as follows
Section 1 New York State Executive Law, Section 381 (2) requires that "every local
government shall administer and enforce the Uniform Fire Prevention
and Building Code on or after the first day of January 1984 "
Section 2 Further provisions of Executive Law, Section 381 (2) allows units of local
government to provide that they will not enforce the Uniform Code and
permits transfer of the rights and responsibilities for enforcement to the
County of Tompkins or the State of New York, whichever is appropnate
Section 3 The County of Tompkins, New York, hereby declares that it will not en-
force the Uniform Code on and after the first day of January, 1984
Section 4 This local law shall take effect upon its being duly filed in the office of the
Secretary of State and the office of the State Comptroller
Mr Mason said he attended the Governor's Forum in Binghamton and expressed to Secretary
of State Gail Shaffer some of the suggestions of the Planning and Public Works Committee that
might make the legislation more acceptable to smaller municipalities He said he is supporting this
because of the liability stand -point of the County, although he feels this issue needs to be addressed
seriously in the year to come
Mr Stein said he is also concerned about the liability question Nevertheless, he feels the County
should continue to explore possible ways of bringing the responsibility of enforcing the Code back
to the municipalities if this local law is adopted tonight
Mr Lifton said he disagrees with the conclusion that the law should be adopted because of the
potential lability of the County His feeling is that the people of Tompkins County will be best
served if the law is administered locally Mr Lefton feels that there is adequate time to incorporate
an interim transition mechanism dunng this penod of potential liability until a more stable solution
is developed Mr Lifton said he feels that the local law should be defeated
Mrs Livesay said she is also going to vote against the local law In addition to the reasons already
expressed, Mrs Livesay said that as a member of the committee that was to make a recommenda-
tion, she is concerned that there was not adequate discussion to explore local solutions to the prob-
lem
Mr Watros said he intends to support the local law because he feels that the taxpayers of
Tompkins County will be best served by eliminating the exposure that would be created by attempt-
ing local enforcement at this time, which Mr Watros feels could be disastrous However, he said he
240 December 20, 1983
would support the idea of local enforcement at some time in the future if the necessary resources
and expertise become available
Mrs Nichols said she intends to vote against the local law because she does not like the County
to abdicate its rights and responsibilities She feels that it would be very difficult to regain control
over this area if it was given up
Mr Mason explained that each year there is a `window period" wtuch allows each municipality
to elect to take action or not take action for the next year
There were no further comments and Chairman Dates closed the public heanng at 5 55 p m
Mrs Howell, Clerk of the Board, informed the Board that the resignation of Kathryn Dimmick,
Deputy Clerk of the Board, was effective December 16, 1983 According to the Tompkins County
Charter and Code, the clerk appoints a deputy clerk subject to confirmation by the Board of Rep-
resentatives Mrs Howell asked for confirmation of the appointment of Judy Caponcao as Deputy
Clerk Unanimously adopted by voice vote
The minutes of November 17, 1983 were approved subject to correction by the clerk
Under privilege of the floor, Mary Jaynes asked the Board for action to help resolve some of the
problems she has spoken about at previous meetings Mrs Nichols said the special committee ap-
pointed by Chairman Dates has prepared and unanimously approved a draft report which will be
reviewed by the County Attorney before being made public
Mr Ray, Chairman of the Planning and Public Works Committee, said he met last week with the
County Attorney, the County Administrator, Dr Fortescue, and a representative of the Wiggins law
firm At that meeting, Dr Fortescue was offered an opportunity to meet with the Planning and
Public Works Committee and an opportunity to address the Board with his concerns He met with
the committee this afternoon, and Mr Wiggins spoke to the Board on behalf of Dr Fortescue Mr
Wiggins said that dunng the negotiations for the sale of the old hospital, the bidders did not bid on
the exact same property Mr Wiggins suggested that before any contracts are signed, the bidders are
given the opportunity to bid on exactly the same property
At the request of Mr Ray, Mr Williamson said his interpretation of what Mr Wiggins said is
that there was some unfairness in accepting the lower proposal when the bidders were not bidding
on the same parcels and including the same premises Mr Williamson explained that one option is
to do nothing One option is for the Board to vote to reconsider the resolution accepting the
proposal of the ITD Group A third option is to get the consent of both Dr Fortescue and the ITD
roup and have a public auction and/or a sealed bid on the cntena for a certain number of acres
of land Mr Williamson said that depending on the Board's decision, either party could sue the
County
Mr Barnes, representing the ITD Group, said their position is that the County identified a cer-
tain parcel of land, a timetable, and a bidding structure that allowed various options, and they made
a bid based on a thorough study of the value of the land and what could be used in developing their
program He said they do not feel it would be fair for the Board to reconsider the resolution accept-
ing the proposal of the ITD Group, and they would not be interested in going through the process
again
Dr Fortescue said he bid on the property that was advertised as no longer needed for public use,
and he planned to develop the project with Reynolds Metals Dr Fortescue said he feels there was
a breakdown in communication about the procedures and the property for sale at the old hospital
and a lack of direct competition which he feels created an unfair situation for him and the people
of Tompkins County
Mr Ray said that the lack of a committee recommendation to the Board should not be con-
sidered a recommendation in itself He said there were concerns expressed about the legal aspects
After some discussion, it was Moved by Mrs Livesay, seconded by Mr Stein and unanimously

The past year has brought legislative changes which have had a significant effect on our daily
operations and revenues In addition to collecting Mortgage Tax, Transfer Tax and Motor Vehicle
Sales Tax, effective March 29, 1983, the County Clerk became responsible for the Capital Gains Tax
on Real Property Transfers This tax is complex in application and requires that every transfer
regardless of the amount of the consideration be accompanied by an affidavit of which there are now
6 varieties Although tax is only imposed when the consideration is one million dollars or greater,
every transaction where the consideration is greater than five hundred thousand must be submitted
for a pre -transfer audit to the Dept of Taxation Monitoring the appropriate affidavits and/or fur-
ther requirements is the Clerk's responsibility In addition, effective May 1, 1983, Transfer Tax was
increased from $1 10 per thousand to $4 00 per thousand

ANNUAL REPORT -1983
MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES
Submitted by Anthony B. DeLuca, ACSW, Director
Under therovisions of the Tompkins County Code and Charter, the 1983 Annual Report Sum-
mary of the Mental Health Services is submitted herewith
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 program or through contract with
private non-profit agencies
During 1983, the Mental Health Department and Board continued their efforts to plan for and
encourage the development of needed services within existing or obtainable resources Through its
board subcommittees, the department addressed the following issues
1) An emergency service capable of onsite intervention was developed using the resources of the
Mental Health Clinic in cooperation with Suicide Prevention In an effort to minimize repeated and
costly hospitalization, the service is designed to defuse problems early in a crisis and refer the client
to the appropnate out-patient service before the problem escalates to the point where legal or com-
mitment steps are necessary It is our intention to evaluate the effectiveness of this service during
the spnng of 1984
2) The major provider of professional services to the alcoholics of Tompkins County is the Al-
coholism Council, a contract agency of the department Prior to 1983, this agency was classified as
a "counseling and education" service Although the costs of such a service were similar to a clinic,
their ability to generate offsetting revenues was less Dunng 1983, the Alcoholism Council became
certified as an Alcoholism Clinic and received STOP DWI funds for services to drinking dnvers
These changes enabled the agency to add medical and other professional positions to staff, generate
greater fees for service, and access user fines instead of federal revenue shanng dollars to support
their program
3) Termination of clients of Challenge Industnes during the summer of 1983 highlighted several
areas of concerns Many clients of the Tompkins County Mental Hygiene system require a range of
services with full day involvement Although day treatment programs, clinics, and community
residences are available, the work expenence at Challenge Industries is pivotal in the array of ser-
vices
Stemming from long-term fiscal problems, the lay-offs clearly demonstrated the need for
1 broad based funding for any work onented program
2 adequate alternatives for individuals who are neither ready for work nor ap-
propriate for day treatment A per -vocational or work oriented support pro-
gram is needed
3 a mechanism to bung together all providers of day services to determine, prior
to admission, that appropnate services are in fact available
Dunng 1984, our highest pnonty will be the development of a stable adequate day program sys-
tem Efforts will continue, however, to enhance services to those requiring less intensive programs
The expected certification of Family and Childrens Services as a mental health clinic will provide
that agency with increased revenues The establishment of a Willard Psychiatric Center Out -Patient
Clinic in a downtown location in Ithaca will provide an additional resource for "hard to reach" men-
tally disabled Within department programs, efforts to access state education funds for mental health
services for school children will allow the Tompkins County Mental Health Clinic to adequately
respond to the mental health needs of children and youth in Tompkins County
Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 267
ANNUAL REPORT - 1983
HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION
The Tompkins County Human Rights Commission was created by resolution of the Board of
Supervisor's (now the Board of Representatives) of Tompkins County in December 1%3 For twenty
years its volunteer members have worked for equality of opportunity for all in employment, housing,
education, public accommodations, and credit Their activity has centered around raising public
awareness of the damage done by unlawful discrimination
In 1983, the move of The Human Rights Office from The DeWitt Building to The Biggs Building
was smoothly effected
Activities Of Commission Members
Annual Awards Dinner
In 1983, the third Annual Human Rights Dinner was attended by over 110 persons Much posi-
tive publicity was given by local media to the guest speaker Jennie Farley of Cornell and to the
Awardees, they included
1) Alice Cook — long term activist in the area of nghts for women, particularly working women,
and highly esteemed professor and author Alice received The Corinne Galvin Award for individual
efforts in the field of Human Rights
2) Ithaca Chapter of Amnesty International local group dedicated to generating support to
prisoners of conscience throughout the world, The Ithaca Chapter was awarded The Group Award
for their efforts on behalf of these individuals
In addition to these awards at the dinner, Pat Paddio-Reed announced the winners of three Mar-
tin Luther King Scholarship Awards, all three were local high school students
Disabilities Awareness Committee
Steve Fellows, chairperson of the Disabilities Committee, and his fellow members convened a
public forum for representatives of vanous social service agencies in the county who work as advo-
cates for the disabled Out of that exchange, came several different suggested courses of action
which this committee continues to explore
Steve also appeared at a public hearing held at the request of a visiting state senator and made
an appeal for change in legislation that would have a positive impact on the disabled This committee
continues to meet on a regular basis
Selection Committee
An ad hoc committee was formed to interview four candidates for the post of Human Rights In-
vestigator and to make recommendations to Tompkins County Administrator, John Murphy, as to
our final selection The unanimous choice of the committee was to recommend Teddy Zimrot who
was hired as investigator in September of 1983
Other Committee Protects
The Case Review Committee met on a monthly basis throughout 1983 to act as a sounding board
for the investigator and to review situations in which thereliminary investigation showed no prob-
able cause The committee continued its work with local attorneys who have volunteered to assist
complainants
The Conflict of Interest Committee — after training by the investigator undertook an investiga-
tion of a case involving sex discrimination in employment Representatives of the local employer met
with the committee and several private interviews were conducted with witnesses in the matter As
a result of their findings the decision was made for the complainant to file a formal complaint with
The State Division of Human Rights The case is still pending
268 Tompkins County, New York
Media Projects
Throughout the year, vanous members of the commission and the investigators participated in
discussions on the radio as were involved in interviews with reporters from vanous local and regional
newspapers in an on-going effort to keep the public informed of the role of The Human Rights
Commission and the Investigator The commission feels it is crucial to continue to keep people ap-
praised of changes in legislation that affect their nghts Efforts in this area will be accelerated in the
coming year
Public Service Announcements on Human Rights Day and Human Rights Protected Junsdic-
tions were also began this year on radio stations W T 1(0 and WH CU Initial public Service An-
nouncements were taped by the Commission President and the Investiggaator both of whom also
taped a special Human Rights Day Emphasis Program to be aired on W'T KO Additional public
Service Announcements will be done by other commissioners in our continuing efforts to familianze
the community with their nghts and the availability of the commission and investigator for protect-
ing these nghts
Additional Outreach and Educational Efforts
The investigators conducted informational and/or training sessions or met informally with the
following Newfield Career Classes, Board of Realtors Trainees, Ithaca Personnel Association,
Ithaca/Cayuga Rotary, Ithaca Kiwanis, Tompkins County Small Business Council, SEI'RC, Cornell
Personnel
One hundred copies of "Your Human Rights" were given for distribution at an Employment
Workshop and were also distributed in significant community locations
Professional Association
The investigators continue to maintain membership and active participation in The Association
of Local Human Rights Commissions and dunng the year served on a specially empowered Inves-
tigator Committee
Direct Enforcement Program
This year twenty attorneys agreed to be available to provide legal service on Human Rights cases
This number was up from thirteen last year
The Investigators
One full time investigator is employed by the County Scott Heyman filled this position from
January through September 23, 1983 and Teddy Zimrot assumed the responsibilities on September
26, 1983 The emphasis of the position remains that of being readily accessible to facilitate resolution
of human nghts problematic situations Efforts are made to resolve issues at the local level without
filing of a formal complaint and also after the formal complaint is filed Potential complainants fre-
quently require a patient, trained listener/counselor to hear them out and counsel them appropriate-
ly Then they may be able to handle the problem successful) on their own The next intervention
level would be investigator contact with the respondent for informal resolution The act of last resort
is the filing of the formal complaint (only twenty-two in 1983) with full investigation In addition to
working on complaints, the investigator endeavors to facilitate the commission's functioning and to
work cooperatively in their Joint educational and informational efforts

34% refusal to hire or recall
4.5% denied promotion
3 4% disciplinary/evaluation
2 2% demotion
2 2% health benefits

These figures are comparable to previous years total inquines figures 1982 — 100, 1981 — 92,
1980 — 140 and 1979 — 81 The rise in 1983 may be due to a surge of complaints that occurred with
media coverage of the appointment of a new investigator and commission publicity efforts It also
could be evidence of increased discnmination as well as individuals initiating action more readily in
times of job scarcity In addition, statistics of closed inquiries are affected by uneven administrative
activities on mqutnes, hearings, etc
1983—Questions
Of 148 questions posed to the investigators in 1983,
91 — concerned employment — 13 regarding questionable pre-employment application
inquiries,
9 — related to housing — 2 regarding public assistance
recipients, 4 regarding children, 3 — others,
3 — concerned public accommodations,
2 — education matters
29 others
'Inqumes — is the New York State Division of Human Rights term which indicates contact for
some assistance posed by a potential complainant or respondent to a discnminatory situation
270 Tompkins County, New York
"Questions — indicate information requests regarding discriminatory matters of general infor-
mational nature
Complaint — is correctly indicative of the formal filed grievance
NOTE Earlier reports did not necessanly use this terminology with these exact same definitions
Significant change is the increase of Age Inquines - from 11% (1982) to 18% (1983) The State
Human Rights Division 1983 report also indicated an Increase in age discrimination complaints filed
— 18 8% of new cases filed 1982 — 1983 — these cases nearly doubled from fiscal year 1978 — 1979
to fiscal year 1982 — 1983 Despite increased numbers of sexual harassment charges, the total per-
centage of charges in the protected status of sex showed some decline — indicating perhaps some
limited lessening of sex inequalities on the job and in the community
1983 — Outcomes/Benefits —
Cash Awards —
Total $ 5378 00 plus two days' wages by an employer
one days' wages by a sex harasser
three months severance pay by employer
(negotiated by attorney)
Non-cash Benefits — two or more cases each
Credit received, Sexual harassment stopped, Hiring effected, rehinng; Layoff rescinded, Demo-
tion withdrawn, Positive reference provided, Agreement to rent, Application forms changed to omit
illegal inquiries
In summary, the commission feels that 1983 was a highly productive year
_ TOMPKINS COUNTY HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION
SURVEY SUMMARY
A survey of 400 Tompkins County residents was conducted by the Tompkins County Human
Rights Commission between June 6 and August 31, 1983, in order to identify current local percep-
tions of human nghts concerns Four hundred interviews were suggested as an ideal figure for sur-
veying households based on a formula applied by the Human Services Coalition for needs assess-
ment surveys done here recently for other agencies Based on this total figure, each city/town has a
completion number necessary to provide municipal representation which is proportional to our
population The survey was conducted by means of a telephone interview/questionnaire devised by
the HRC and the Human Services Coalition All interviews were conducted by the same person Sig-
nificance exists in the fact that there are positive correlations between actual discrimination com-
plaints filed in Tompkins County in recent years and the survey findings It is the intent of the Com-
mission to use this information in ways that may enhance the quality of life in this community
The majority of the 400 Tompkins County residents have lived here for more than ten years
(54 25%) An additional 15% have lived here from five to ten years
Of the 400 citizens of Tompkins County who were interviewed, 70 75% (283) have heard of the
Tompkins County Human Rights Commission Of those who have heard of the Human Rieiis Com-
mission, 425% know (at least somewhat) what the Human Rights Commission does in Tompkins
County
In 67% of cases of personal knowledge of discrimination the interviewee described a friend or
roommate who had been discriminated against, 15% involved a relative in the household, 16% in-
volved a relative who did not live with the respondent, and 4% involved a non-resident of Tompkins
County
Of interviewees and acquaintances who experienced discnmination, 56% (84) sought no help,
10% (15) went to the Human Rights Commission, 26% (40) went to some other source for assis-
tance, and in 8% (12) of the cases, interviewees did not know where an acquaintance went
Of the 400 residents surveyed, 64% (255) felt there are problems of discnmination in Tompkins
County The perceptions described are assumed to be current
The majonty of the interviewees were female (593%), 20% were under age 26, 14% were 26-30,
14% were 31-35, 13% were 36-40, 11% were 41-45, 5% were 46-50, 5% were 51-55, 8% were 56-70,
and 10% were over 61
Seven percent of the survey participants consider themselves disabled

ANNUAL REPORT -1983
SHERIFF DEPARTMENT
Submitted by Robert L. Howard
I herewith submit the annual report of activities of the Tompkins County ShenfFs Department
for the year 1983
Data on reportable offenses as shown on readout sheets provided by the Division of Criminal
Justice Services show that Tompkins County had a slight decrease in reportable crime in 1983 The
total number of cases reported 1983 were 3,743, down from 4,195 in 1982
The total amount of stolen property recovered in the county also showed a slight decrease In
1983 there was $102,333 worth of stolen property recovered, down from $146,533 02 in 1982
Road patrols investigated 1,010 accidents in 1983 This figure was down from the 1982 figure of
1,060 In these accidents there were six persons killed, down from nine in 1982
The jail population was also down slightly from the 1982 figure (see chart on page 12) I feel the
decrease in jail population can be contributed to several factors such as the improvement in the
economy, alternative programs to incarceration and increased cooperation between citizens and
police in crime prevention
Police cooperation in the county was excellent as it has been over the past several years
The fall school for new recruits in the Sixth Police Training Zone was again held at the
crash/fire/rescue building The school was a tremendous success with all area police agencies, the
Distnct Attorney and others participating as instructors
Our county was recently reimbursed by Seneca County for the cost of manpower used during the
year in protecting people and property during the demonstrations at the Seneca Ordinance Depot
The amount of this reimbursement was $9,420 74
The volunteer fire companies in the county continued to provide a valuable service to the county
through their efforts at accident scenes in caring for the injured, freeing people trapped in vehicles
and assisting with traffic at the accident scene
Once again I would like to thank the public Safety Committee for their assistance and advise
during 1983 and the full Board of Representatives for their support
JUVENILE PROGRAM
The Junior Deputy Program sponsored by the Tompkins County Sheriff's Department had
another successful year with over seven hundred area students participating in the program A new
dimension has been added to the program this year Seven hundred and twenty hours of class room
instruction by Tompkins County area professional cnminal justice personnel was recently given to
thirty-five sixth grade students at Dewitt Junior High School The project, sponsored by the Juvenile
Division of the ShenfFs Department, had several goals in mind in the early planning stages The
most important goal being a video tape of a Family Court mock juvenile trial using the students as
the participating judges, defense council, law guardian, etc This video tape would then be given in
a lesson plan each year for other sixth graders participating in Junior Deputies
In co-sponsorship with the Greater Ithaca Activities Center, our Juvenile Officer participated in
the Bottom Line Program on a weekly basis To date four area schools are involved in the program
They are Newfield, Trumansburg, Groton, and Boynton These schools account for approximately
four hundred students of the seventh and eighth grades who culminate the weeks activities with
police officers, ex -offenders, lawyers, probation officers, and a trip to the jail
Our Juvenile Officer spends forty-five minutes each week explaining the role of the juvenile of-
ficer, the juvenile justice system and the ramifications of his job and how that best relates to those
individuals is a positive way
Seven area youths were fortunate enough to be picked to attend the State Sheriff's Summer
Camp at Norwich, New York One hundred twenty-seven Tompkins County Junior Deputies at-
tended a three day campout at Camp Barton in Mid -June The campout is the highlight of the Junior
Deputy Program
The Juvenile Officer handled one hundred four juvenile cases and referred fifty to Family Court
or Probation Intake The remainder of the cases were disposed of by Departmental Warnings
272 Tompkms County, New York
NAVIGATION REPORT
The Shenff's Department was again actively enforcing the State Navigation Laws on Cayuga
Lake As in the past, this patrol has kept the boating accidents and violations on the lake to a min-
imum
In Tompkins County's portion of Cayuga Lake there were a total of six boating accidents
reported to the Department four of these were minor property damage only, one was minor per-
sonal injury, and the last was a fatality This fatal incident investigation was conducted jointly by the
Sheriff's Navigation Officers and the Ithaca Police Department
The navigation patrol this past summer inspected one hundred and fifty boats for safety equip-
ment Of the boats Inspected, thirty-five warnings were given for minor violations and nine summon-
ses were issued Also there were one hundred boaters assisted for vanous life and safety reasons
The Ithaca Yacht Club as in the past requested that their regattas be patrolled A total of eleven
were monitored this year
Reports of lost or stolen property were dramatically down this year from years in the past Of
the few reports taken, all the property was recovered
This past season the patrol boat has started to show signs of its many, often hard, hours of use
We have applied for funds under a State Grant to replace and update some of the navigation equip-
ment If the funds become available, the patrol boat will be equipped to better handle law enforce-
ment and protect the safety of the boaters in our community

ANNUAL REPORT -1983
LIBRARY
Submitted by Louis Meager, Director
In late 1982 the Tompkins County Public Library entered the computer age with the purchase
and implementation of an automated library system As expected, January and February 1983 were
difficult months for library staff andatrons alike as this major innovation became a reality
Throughout the year there was much to learn and many "bugs" to be worked out By the end of 1983,
however, staff and patrons were more and more able to enjoy the benefits of automation
Our circulation of materials increased 10% over 1982 Using the available information from the
automated system we were able to start the implementation of a demand onented acquisitions
policy By using the system to find out what materials are in high demand, we can more quickly and
efficiently meet those demands We intend to refine this process constantly to improve our services
Dunng the past year use of other library services also increased as the individual department
reports show
Although 1983 was a year of great progress our optimism was somewhat tempered by the dis-
covery of asbestos in the building Although at present there is no apparent health hazard, it is in
the best interest of the staff and community to bung this situation under control
No matter what method of asbestos control is decided upon, it is inevitable that many library ser-
vices will be interrupted for several months Dunn& the removal operation all books and furniture
must be moved out of the building to avoid contamination We are hoping to establish a temporary
facility to provide limited services, but there will be no way we can continue "business as usual'
dunng the asbestos control operations
I sincerely hope that the public will understand this difficult situation and will cooperate with us
dunng the "hard times " It is in everyone's best interest to have a safe library building
Throuout the entire asbestos cnses Mr Mobbs, Public Works Commissioner, Mr Williams,
General Building Supervisor, Mr Liguon, Planning Commissioner, and Mr Missinan, Associate
Planner, spent considerable time addressing the problem and planning operations in cooperation
with the library I am confident their efforts will result in a safe building in the quickest most effi-
cient manner possible
I would like to thank the Fnends of the Library for providing 3,557 volunteer work hours which
adds up to 2 full time employees' annual hours I would also like to thank them for another mam-
moth effort in putting together yet another successful booksale Their continued support, both
moral and financial, is of the utmost importance to the well being of the library
I would also like to thank the library staff for holding on to their sanity and their sense of humor
This year the library was catapulted into the future The staff not only worked hard to make the tran-
sition happen, but showed a strong willingness to learn while constantly seeking new ways to improve
seances
In closing, I wish to thank the Board of Trustees for helping me guide the library through a
monumental year that was both rewarding and difficult
1984 may prove to be a year of cnses for the Tompkins County Public Library, but with the help
of the Board, the Staff, the Friends, and the Community I believe we will not only survive but will
enter 1985 with more optimism than ever

ANNUAL REPORT - 1983
PROBATION DEPARTMENT
Submitted by Lois Humphrey, Director
The staff of the Tompkins County Probation Department submits herewith our Annual Report
for 1983
We believe that 1983 was a year of progress, though sometimes difficult due to staff turnover and
increased workload The support of our County Board, the State Division of Probation, and the
community has been instrumental in helping us to achieve our goals
Our thanks to all of you who encouraged and assisted us in 1983 We will continue to do our best
to provide good probation programming and service dunng 1984
Because of increased programs, staff changes, and the number of student interns assisting us,
crowded conditions necessitated a search for additional office space The only available area in the
Courthouse vicinity was the courtroom balcony in the Old Courthouse In the fall of 1983, the
Cnminal Court Diversion program moved to that location temporarily We are hoping for a more
satisfactory solution to our space needs soon

PERSONNEL HIGHLIGHTS
There was extensive turnover of staff during 1983 causing additional workload pressure for
trained officers Probation Officers Richard Steve and Michael Costello resigned to accept other
employment Dick took a job with New York State Parole, while Mike is now working with the
Tompkins County District Attorney's office Robert Johnston and Jack Davie, both of whom worked
in our Criminal Court Diversion Program also resigned from our agency Audrey Elliot was granted
a six-month maternity leave in May 1983
Sally Sumner and David Spielman were hired to fill vacancies for probation officers in the Family
Court Unit Both came to us with excellent qualifications and expenence Athena Jamesson was ap-
pointed to a newly reclassified position of probation officer in charge of our diversion program
Sharon Collins served as temporary assistant in the diversion program until Sue Carol Martin was
hired in December Kristin Stevenson accepted a temporary probation officer position covering
Audrey Elliot's caseload Probation Officer G Mitchell Youngling joined us in December Bill Ben-
jamin was promoted to Senior Probation Officer in January, 1983 and designated in charge of the
newly created Intensive Supervision and Community Service Restitution programs Claudia Beard
replaced Sharon Collins as typist while Sharon worked in diversion
Several staff members attended State Division of Probation training courses in Probation Fun-
damentals and Peace Officer procedures Others earned training credits by participating in the
State's evaluation system project and numerous local sessions provided by other agencies and
groups
During 1983 we were assisted by a number of very capable student interns from Cornell and
Ithaca College These students contnbuted many hours of work while supervised by probation of-

ficers in the Investigation, supervision, Intake, and diversion functions of the department They have
proven to be a valuable and appreciated asset to our operation

FAMILY COURT
INTAKE
The trend for Intake was again a reduction in caseload for 1983 Total cases opened dunng the
year was 513, down from 539 cases for 1982 In particular the number of JD and PINS referrals were
down which seemed to parallel the general reduction of the total number of JD's and PINS' entenng
the system It is not clear why this has occurred Some conjecture that the new Article III has been
the reason, that because of the complexity of compiling a JD case, the police would rather take care
of the matter with a warning Others conjecture that this community has just reached a lull for the
number of new offenses in which young people are involved However, there is no substantiation of
either of these, so we are left to simply guessing
COURT LIAISON
The two county court judges have continued with their process of alternating court assignment
every three months It seems we just get used to the way one judge likes his/her court to run when
the other judge comes on the bench Never a dull moment!
Due to the decrease in the number of new JD and PINS petitions and due to the fact that ar-
ranging detention for JD's is now with the County Attorney's office, less time has been spent back
and forth between the Family Court and Probation which has really been a positive change for the
Court Liaison Officer
ARTICLE III
In December, 1982 the legislature passed a revision of the Family Court Act which separated
Juvenile Delinquency law from the existing article 7 (which included laws from both JD and PINS)
and adopted a new Article III
Probation's role in the JD process has been changed in several areas At the time of the arrest
of a Juvenile, police officials are authorized to issue appearance tickets which direct the respondent
to appear at the Probation Office on a certain date and time Prior to the respondent's appearance
the arresting officer sends written materials to Probation including a statement as to how the officer
wishes to proceed with the case, ie , with Intake or with filing a petition If a petition is indicated or
desired Probation no longer takes the petition, but refers the case to the County Attorney's office
for processing If detention services are required, Probation is no longer responsible for being in-
volved in that process, which has been a great time saver
Prior to Jul those involved with this new Article (Probation, Police, Detention Services, County
Attorney's Office) met together to plan agency and county policy and procedure in an attempt to
provide as smooth a transition as possible We believe that these meetings helped a great deal as
contacts with other departments which had not done such planning revealed that things were much
more chaotic for them We feel fortunate to have such cooperation within this county
Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 281
PROBATION INVESTIGATIONS
Overall, the department received a greater number of investigations from all courts, and com-
pleted a greater number of investigations in 1983 than in 1982
A) Criminal Court Investigations
FELONY MISDEMEANOR TOTAL
(1982) 1983 (1982) 1983 (1982) 1983
Camed from 1982 (N/A) 27 (N/A) 32 (N/A) 59
Number assigned (133) 175 (202) 243 (335) 418
Number completed (126) 186 (189) 223 (315) 409
Carried into 1984 (N/A) 16 (N/A) 52 (N/A) 68
Companng the 1983 statistics to those of 1982, it becomes readily apparent that the total number
of cnminal court investigations assigned and completed in 1983 increased markedly Specifically, the
total number of investigations assigned in 1983 is a 24 77% increase over the previous year's total,
and the total number of investigations completed dunng 1983 is a 29 84% increase over the previous
year's total
The percentage of felony investigations assigned and completed both rose (3157% and 47 61%
respectively), as did the percentages of misdemeanor investigations assigned and completed (20 3%
and 17 99% respectively)
B) Family Court Investigations
A companson of the 1983 statistics to those of 1982 indicates a 13 64% increase in total number
of investigations assigned, and a 23 78% increase in total number of investigations completed
The greatest percentage increase of assigned investigation occurred within the Other Investiga-
tions category, (up 80 0%), with PINS investigations following (up 66 67%)
As noted in the 1982 Annual Report, orders for support investigations had declined That pat-
tern continued to 1983 with 38 46% fewer support investigations being ordered
A) Criminal Court Supervision
Under the laws of New York State, adult defendants (including Juvenile Offenders and Youthful
Offenders) may be sentenced to certain period of probation as an alternative disposition of the case
The total number of adult probationers ordered to be supervised dunng 1983 (184) represents
a 27 78% increase over the total for 1982 The greatest increase (up 50 0%) occurred in the category
of felony probationers ordered to be supervised by the department The number of misdemeanant
probationers increased by 10 98% over 1982
The total number of persons discharged from probation (as improved or upon maximum expira-
tion of the sentence) decreased during 1983, as did the total number of persons whose probation
sentence was terminated or revoked for unfavorable reasons
The total number of criminal court violation petitions filed dunng 1983 increased 34 78% over
those filed in 1982 Petitions filed for felony probationers increased markedly (116 16%), while those
filed for misdemeanant probationers increased by 5 88%
The number of persons whose probation supervision was transferred to other counties or states
(typically as a result of a change in residence) dunng 1983 increased 88 47% over those transferred
in 1982
By the close of 1983, the total adult probationer caseload had a net increase of 26 35% from the
close of 1982
B) Family Court Probation Supervision
The total number of Family Court Probationers received by the department dunng 1983 (41)
represents a 64 0% increase over the total number of probationers received in 1982 The greatest
percentage increase (up 81 82%) occurred in the category of PINS received by the department The
number of JD's received as probationers in 1983 increased 62.50% from 1982
The total number of persons discharged from probation upon maximum expiration increased
slightly (10.53%) over 1982, but the total percentage discharged early as improved decreased
33 33%0
The total number of probation terminations or revocations for unfavorable reasons decreased by
23 08% as compared to 1982
282 Tompkins County, New York
The total number of probationers transferred to other jurisdictions during 1983 decreased from
1982 by 75%
The total number of family court violation petitions filed dunng 1983 decreased 28 0% over
those filed in 1982 Petitions filed for Juvenile Delinquents increased by 80 0%, those filed for Per-
sons In Need of Supervision decreased by 57 89%, and those filed for adults under family court su-
pervision remained constant
By the end of 1983, the total Family Court probationer caseload had a net decrease of 2/63% (1
case) from the end of 1982
In addition to supervising persons who have been placed on probation by the Family Court after
an adjudication or a judicial finding on the ments of a petition, Family Court Probation Officers may
be ordered to supervise persons (respondents) who have appeared before the court as the result of
a complaint, but who have not been legally determined to be Persons In Need of Survision,
Juvenile Delinquents, Family Offenders, or a person who abuses or neglects their child(ren) In most
of these cases, the court has granted the person an Adjournment in Contemplation of ismissal
(ACD) -- the matter is adjourned for six months and will then be dismissed if the person has abided
by certain conditions (the same types of conditions as those contained in regular Orders and Con-
ditions of Probation)
Although the Family Court does have the option of Adjourning in Contemplation of Dismissal
without Probation Supervision, the person's adherence to the conditions of an ACD are generally
monitored by a Probation Officer and this type of supervision is referred to generally as Pre -Dis-
position Supervision
The total number of Pre -Disposition Supervision cases received (17) by this department in 1983
is a 536% decrease from the number received in 1982
Comparatively, dunng 1983, the total number of J D Pre-Dis ition Supervision cases received
decreased 50 00% from 1982, whereas the total number of PINS' Pre -Disposition Supervision cases
received increased 150 00%
The total number of cases removed from Pre -Disposition Supervision in 1983 increased 81 82%
over the total number removed in 1982 However, it should be noted that the majonty of these cases
are supervised for no more than six months As a result, there tends to be a relatively high turn -over
rate of these supervision cases during the year
CRIMINAL COURT DIVERSION
1983 was a year of change for the Diversion Program A complete turnover of personnel oc-
curred and, with these changes, came a restructuring of the staff positions themselves One of the
two Probation Assistant positions was upgraded to Probation Officer, and Athena Jamesson as-
sumed this position as head of Diversion in Apnl
Not only did our personnel change, but also Diversion's location shifted twice during the past
year The Diversion Program moved from the main Probation Office in the Court House to a tem-
porary office on the third floor of that same building and then again to a temporary office on the
third floor of the Old Court House, where we are today Vanous tnals and tnbulations were as-
sociated with these moves, for a time we had no phones and were forced to commute between build-
ings for messages, but Diversion has tried to adapt to this new environment as well as possible
There were 197 cases referred to Misdemeanor Diversion in 1983 Thirteen clients refused the
program or were found ineligible, and thirteen were returned to Court for further prosecution In
1983, 140 clients successfully completed their Misdemeanor Diversion Programs
There were eight cases referred to Felony Diversion in 1983 (No new cases were accepted dunng
the penods of personnel changes ) There were twenty cases carred over from 1982, three cases were
found ineligible and five cases were returned to Court Nine cases were successfully terminated
dunng the year
INTENSIVE SUPERVISION PROGRAM
The Intensive Supervision Program is in full operation now It took several months of planning
and research, and our first client entered the program out of County Court in Apnl The program
is still accelerating towards the capacity of 15 cases As of the end of 1983 the 1 S P Officer was
maintaining ten cases These are individuals who would otherwise most certainly have gone to jail
or pnson for at least one year
Most of the Intensive Supervision cases remain on for six months, and this translates into an im-
mediate savings to the county of $75,000 for those ten cases for just one-half of the year This is truly
a workable and cost effective alternative to incarceration
Further, dunng the penod of operation we have had only one absconder who is still at large, and
one Violation of Probation which resulted in reinstatement and subsequent successful completion
Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 283
The Probation Department is very proud of the success the program has initially shown These, one
must remember, are high risk individuals who would have in all probability been incarcerated as un-
rehabilitative under regular program and procedure
The program has required minor adjustment by the I S P Officer, mostly in the area of work
schedule The officer has to work evenings frequently and hence has a more flexible schedule than
the standard 8 30-4 30 hours Evening supervision is an important component of the intensive pro-
gram
COMMUNITY SERVICE RESITTITI ION PROGRAM
This program, like the Intensive Supervision Program, was authorized by the Tompkins County
Legislature effective January of 1983 Much time has been spent in the ensuing months trying to get
the program fully underway
Many localities were contacted and research materials were reviewed so as to develop a program
geared to the needs of Tompkins County This has been achieved The program channels low-nsk
Court sentenced individuals to perform community service at selected agencies under the super-
vision of the Tompkins County Probation Department This allows for offenders to have the oppor-
tunity to make amends for their wrongdoing by performing community work It, as a result, punishes
offenders more fairly by requiring constructive expenditures of their time, energies, and interests
The Court sentences a person who is considered low-nsk (to the community) to a specific num-
ber of hours of Community Service Restitution This disposition is allowable by law provided the of-
fender agrees to participation This voluntary aspect allows for a wide vanety of placements because
the offender agrees to participate as opposed to just being ordered to work off his sentence Initial
canvassing has resulted in numerous public agencies being willing to participate Contracts are
entered into wherein the Probation Department agrees to handle any problems and the agencies
agree to supervise the offender and report back
Many of the County judges and justices are already sentencing people to the program because
it offers an alternative to incarceration which will directly benefit the community whose laws were
violated in the first place That's the good news
We have, unfortunately, not gotten the program started yet The County insurance carrier ad-
vises us that the traditional avenues of protection do not cover this type of clientele if they should
be hurt while performing community service Several individuals are currently working on this prob-
lem and we hope to have it ironed out soon
NEW YORK STATEWIDE POLICE INFORMATION NETWORK (NYSPIN) COMPUTER
1ERMINAL INSTALLAI ION
In September, 1983 a NYSPIN computer terminal was installed in the Department The NYSPIN
system allows for direct access via the terminal to criminal history record and wanted/missing per-
sons information contained in Division of Cnminal Justice Services (DCJS) files, as well as Depart-
ment of Motor Vehicles (DMV) driver's license and vehicle registration information The system
also allows for the ability to communicate directly with other criminal justice, law enforcement, and
DMV agencies nationwide, and law enforcement agencies worldwide via INTERPOL (International
Police Agency) In addition, we presently have the ability to make inquiries into the State Division's
Probation Registrant System (PRS)
Currently, the terminal is being used pnmarily for obtaining criminal history information —
"Rap Sheets" — through DCJS, NCIC, and out-of-state cnmmai history repositones, plus nation-
wide DMV information Future plans are for the expansion of access to the State Division's PRS
files, and the ability to enter probationers into the system, modify their records, make inquiries as
to information in the system, and cancel probationers from the system once their probation has been
terminated
Also in the future it is being planned to enter this department's violation of probation warrants
into the wanted person section of the system
COMMUNITY AGENCY INVOLVEMENT
Dunng 1983, professional Probation staff members served on the Boards of Directors for Group
Homes of Tompkins County, Good Hope Youth Homes, and RSVP Probation personnel have also
represented the department on Advisory Committees to Family Court, Suicide Prevention and
Cnsis Service, Mental Health Clinic, Offender Aid and Restoration, Ithaca Youth Bureau, Al-
coholism Council, Alternative Community Schools, and the STOP -DWI program
Staff involvement with the Tompkins County Sexual Abuse Task Force, the Community Case
Management Team, the Justice System Awareness Programs (Bottom Line and Junior Deputies)
continued dunng 1983, as did staff participation in training courses given at the local Police
Academy

EMERGENCY OUTREACH SERVICE
The Emergency Outreach Service (EOS) is a joint project of Tompkins County Mental Health
Clinic and Suicide Prevention Services began in the Spnng of 1983 As defined by Hazel Brampton,
Emergency Outreach Coordinator, EOS 1) acts as a back-up and support system for other agencies
involved in crisis intervention (Police, Mental Health Clinic, etc ), 2) Provides a professional evalua-
tion immediately in crises where, for various reasons, the person involved cannot, or will not, come
to a counseling agency EOS aims to help people resolve crises with a minimum of outside interven-
tion and refer them to appropriate agencies
In a cooperate effort with the Mental Health Clinic, four probation officers received 30 hours
of training in crisis intervention dunng the Spnng of 1983 In exchange for the training, these officers
volunteer at least one day a month of their time, to be on call for EOS Over the past year, all four
officers have been utilized by EOS, answering a vanety of calls that needed immediate intervention
We have also used the knowledge obtained in the training sessions to better serve our probationers
Throughout the past year our participation with EOS has benefitted not only our department, but
the community in general
