Chairman Dates called the special meeting to order at 5 34 p m
Present 14 Representatives Excused 1 (Representative Call Representative Culligan excused at
720pm)
Chairman Dates adjourned the meeting to the Courtroom because of the large number of
people at the meeting.
Under pnvilege of the floor, Richard Booth, who lives in the City of Ithaca, said he strongly op-
poses any decision by the state to utilize Connecticut Hill or any similar public lands to settle this
itl igation He said that although he believes in settling valid legal claims by the Cayuga Indians in
a lust and generous manner, he feels that utilizing any large piece of publicly owned land that is dedi-
cated to the public's use for such a settlement would constitute a senous policy mistake
Under privilege of the floor, Alien MacNeill, 1237 Dryden Road, said he supports the negotiated
settlement with the Cayugas because he feels that the claims are legally and morally correct He
believes that the culture and history of the Cayugas define their close relationship with the land, and
therefore land within the aboriginal temtory should be part of the settlement, although he does not
necessarily agree with the restoration specifically of Connecticut Hill
Jack Rumsey, a landowner in the Town of Enfield, spoke under privilege of the floor He said
many of his ancestors, who were some of the first settlers in Enfield, are buried on Connecticut Hill
In addition, he said he uses Connecticut Hill for hunting, picnicking, and cutting wood, and he
believes that the land should be kept for public use
Under privilege of the floor, Bill Beck of Kraft Road, Ithaca, spoke as a representative of the
Cortland County Federation of Sportsmen, the Region 7 Conservation League, and the New York
State Conservation Council He said the member; of these three organizations vigorously oppose
the use of Connecticut Hill lands in any settlement of the Cayuga Indians' land claim He said that
although they agree that the Cayuga Indian Nation may have a legitimate lawsuit, they feel that
punishing the citizens of the 1980s for the mistakes of their forefathers would be a mislustice to all
16 February 2, 1984
Under privilege of the floor, Richard Greenburg, who lives on Shaffer Road in Newfield and is
Newfield Town Attorney, said the Board is not being asked to vote on the morality of the Cayuga
Indian claim but rather the form of settlement being offered by people outside the county who are
not answerable to the voters of this county He said the Newfield Town Board unanimously opposed
this form of settlement because they feel it is unjust to the people of the Town of Newfield and the
county in general to ask one single community to bear the burden of a settlement that is the respon-
sibility of the State of New Yorand they urge the Board of Representatives to take similar action
Kathy Rodgers of Ithaca, formerly of Newfield, spoke under privilege of the floor She said she
does not feel there is an easy solution to the Connecticut Hill issue However, she feels that the
County should welcome the opportunity to cooperate and help find a fair solution
Under privilege of the floor, Al Martak of Newfield said that although he sympathizes with the
Cayugas, he feels that it would be a grave injustice to the people who use Connecticut Hill to give
away this land
Under privilege of the floor, James Drader, Newfield Town Supervisor, said that the people of
the Town of Newfield feel that It is unfair to give away 20 percent of their land mass He said the
majority of the people at the meeting held in Newfield to discuss Connecticut Hill were against the
settlement, and they hope that this Board will take similar action
Under privilege of the floor, Martin Luster, Supervisor of the Town of Ulysses, voiced his feel-
ings as an individual and not as a representative of the Town of Ulysses He said he thinks it would
be a mistake to adopt a resolution that would end debate and eliminate the possibility of negotiating
a settlement that might be more beneficial to the community than a lawsuit
Paul Quill of Newfield said under privilege of the floor that he feels that Connecticut Hill should
be excluded from any settlement
Michael Sears, a resident of Freeville, said under privilege of the floor that he uses Connecticut
Hill as a sportsman and an outdoorsman He feels he has contributed to the land and he does not
want to see it given away
Under privilege of the floor, Lynn Nelson of Ithaca said she feels that the Connecticut Hill issue
requires more careful attention than it has received in recent weeks She feels that giving up on pos-
sible negotiation could victimize the Cayugas as well as the people of Tompkins County
Ray Zajac, Supervisor of the Town of Romulus and a member of the Indian Land Claim Task
Force, said the Task Force is working on negotiating a settlement that would benefit the Cayuga Na-
tion, the sportsmen, the legislators, and the total constituency', He said the alternative to negotiation
would be litigation, which Seneca County has implemented, but he said that litigation would
eliminate any local participation Mr Zajac urged the Board riot to make hasty decisions but to care-
fully consider any action He read a letter he sent to Chairman Dates on behalf of Howard Rowley,
Chairman of the Task Force, inviting Tompkins County to send a representative to participate at the
Task Force meetings Mr Zajac explained that this does not necessarily have to be a member of the
Board of Representatives
Under privilege of the floor, Bill Drake of Newfield said he resents the idea that from the begin-
ning the Task Force has not had representatives who are responsible to the people of Newfield and
Tompkins County He feels that there has been a lot of misrepresentation when discussing the area
under consideration, especially State parks
Mr Zajac said that in July the Task Force requested a list of all available state and federal lands
State parks were included in that list, however Mr Zajac said Task Force members would not highly
consider publicly developed land as part of the negotiation
Mrs Howell, Clerk of the Board, read a resolution adopted by the Enfield Town Board in op-
position to any resolution of Cayuga Indian land claims which would affect the Connecticut Hill
Wildlife Management Area
Mrs Howell read a letter from Ira Reed, Jr , Local Sportsman, Chairman of FWMA State
Board. Secretary of NYS Conservation Fund Advisory Council opposing the conveyance of Connec-
ticut Hill

Council opposing the inclusion of any or all of the Connecticut Hill Wildlife Management Area in

PUBLIC HEARING
Vice Chairman Starr called to order the public heanng concerning an appropnate design size for
the proposed County Jail She asked that all speakers introduce themselves and limit statements to
five minutes At the request of Vice Chairman Starr, Mr Mason, Chairman of the Special Jail Study
Committee, chaired the public heanng.
Mr Tim Joseph said it is clear that crime is a serious problem However, he feels that more
senous consideration should be given to alternatives dealing with creme prevention He suggests that
a jail of 44 cells or Tess be built and that the money for the extra 11 cells be spent on programs aimed
at preventing came
Mr Matthew Shulman of Ludlowville Road, Lansing, thanked the Board for holding the public
heanng He said in addition to costs to taxpayers, the size of the jail will influence the County's ap-
proach to cnminal justice management He said since the goal is to achieve a safer community and
since many of these people will be back on the streets in th'e future, we need to focus on how they
will behave after they are released He urged the Board to tie creative and positive and consider the
minimum number of cells necessary
Ms Nancie Zane spoke as a concerned citizen and as a representative of CRESP (Center for
Religion, Ethics, and Social Policy) She said she appreciates the awareness that the decision about
the size of the jail needs to be considered as cntically as the decision about its location She said she
believes the cost of building and financing the 11 additional cells, as well as maintaining 11 additional
pnsoners and providing the additional secunty, is significant and should not be dismissed In addi-
tion, Ms Zane said she supports a cnminal justice system that is less reliant on incarceration She
would rather see money spent on prevention programs Ms Zane supports a 44 cell jail without extra
space that could be converted into cells
March 6, 1984 35
I Mr Benjamm Bucko, Tompkins County District Attorney, said he is in favor of the resolution
recommending a 55 cell jail He said alternative sentences and prevention programs are presently
being used but crimes are still being committed He said people must be incarcerated as a deterrent
Also, Mr Bucko said the cost to Tompkins County of transporting prisoners and housing them at
other galas should be considered, he said he feels Tompkins County needs 55 jail cells
Mr Eric Lerner, Director of Offender Aid and Restoration, said he thinks it is important to real-
ize that on a normal day, most people in theail are not there because they have been found guilty
of a crime They are there because they have been charged with a crime and cannot bail themselves
out He said he thinks there are a lot of alternative programs that can help keep both the jail size
and the creme rate down Also, he said that in many cases putting people in jail maximizes the chance
that they will commit a crime again He said he would like to see more alternative programs that
help prevent crime
Mr Tom Ternm, an attorney and a member of the Offender Aid and Restoration Board, said
he feels that investing in some alternatives could dramatically impact the size of the jail and the
criminal justice system He urged the Board to study various alternatives before building a 55 cell
jail
Mr Paul Bennett, an attorney, said it is important to understand that people in the County jail
have either been convicted of a creme of a lesser nature and sentenced to a maximum of one year
in jail or have not yet been convicted and are awaiting trial He feels they can utilize alternatives to
incarceration or decarceration that would bring them back into the community to accept respon-
sibility for the crime, which would be more effective than punishing them and removing them from
the community He feels that if programs are developed that encourage this sort of approach, a 55
cell jail will not be needed
No one else wished to speak and Mr Mason closed the public heanng at 10 12 a m
The minutes of January 17, 1984 and February 2, 1984 were approved, subject to correction by
the Clerk.
Mrs Howell, aerk of the Board, said there is a typographical error on today's agenda in the title
of Resolution No 41 The correct title should be "Selection of Jail Size "
Under privilege of the floor, Dee Wood, President of the Library Unit of CSEA, said each Board
member has received a copy of the letter expressingthe concerns of the library employees She said
they are pleased with the recommendation of the anning and Public Works Committee to remove
all asbestos from the library However, she said theydo have concerns about the plan to leave
employees in the building while the work is completedand they will need more information before
they believe this is a safe plan

Services Committee on February 29 to discuss the proposed Community Alternatives Systems Agen-
cy (CASA) Program, but a recommendation is not ready for the board at this time The Health

of Social Services Office Space Study Report The next step will be for County staff to begin negotia-
tions with the potential landlords Mr Ray said that Mr Mobbs, Commissioner of Public Works,
recommends improving the lighting in Board Chambers by replacing six bulbs with mercury vapor
bulbs while leaving two bulbs unchanged This is because the mercury vapor bulbs take 10-15
m nutes to relight when they are hot In addition, Mr Mobbs suggests adding two more lights on
36 March 6, 1984

April 3, 1984 61

years old They were responsible for over 135 fatalities and nearly 4,000
senous injunes in New York State,
— The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Surgeon
General have determined that alcohol related motor vehicle crashes are the
nation's leading cause of death for persons 16 to 24 years old, and only this
age group has not experienced the increase in life expectancy noted for all
other age groups and in fact in New York State, outside New York City,
twenty percent of all deaths result from alcohol related crashes,

CREATE A DIVISION OF COMMUNITY
SUPERVISION SERVICES
Moved by Mr Mason, seconded by Mr; Starr A voice vote was taken Ayes — 3,753 Nays —
0 Excused — 246 (Culligan) Adopted
WHEREAS, Governor Cuomo and others have proposed the formation of a new Division of
Community Supervision Services by merging the State Divisions of Probation and Parole, and
WHEREAS, the new division would assume responsibility for the supervision of felony proba-
tion cases and ultimately the preparation of presentence investigation reports for felons, and
WHEREAS, such services would be provided by officers stationed in regional offices around the
State, and
WHEREAS, the responsibility for misdemeanor cases would be left solely to the local county,
with no state aid reimbursement, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the Tompkins County Board of Representatives opposes the proposal for
the following reasons
1 The current State proposal for consolidation of Probation and Parole will do
nothing to improve service delivery at the County level, but will instead frag-
ment probation services while reducing State support
2 The proposal will create duplicate and parallel systems, one for felons and one
for misdemeanants
3 We senously question how the consolidation of fifty-seven counties and New
York City into thirteen field offices, four of which will be in the City, will im-
prove local services to courts
4 Tompkins County estimates a loss of approximately 590,000 in state aid with
dubious service to be provided by the State as a trade-off The proposal also
entails an increase of 524 million in State expenditures for probation and
parole dunng the next three fiscal years
5 We are satisfied with our present local probation service They have estab-
lished, in conjunction with our local agencies and courts, available service
delivery network and a communication system for resolving the issues relative
to felonies, misdemeanors, etc , in the best interest of this community
62 Apnl 3, 1984
RESOLVED, further, That the Clerk of the Board forward certified copies of this resolution to
the New York State Legislature and the Governor of New York State, Supervisors' and County
Legislators' Association, and NYSAC.

Under privilege of the floor, Richard Greenburg updated the Board on the Connecticut Hill In-
dian Land Claim issue He said he has spoken with Mr Rowley several times, however there has not
been a meeting of the Task Force since Mr Greenburg was appointed to represent the county A
meeting is tentatively scheduled for June 4, 1984 Mr Greenburg said he understands that there are
three proposals that the Task Force is considering and one is Connecticut Hill However, he said
that the Task Force is not in complete agreement about a proposed settlement since it is made up
of representatives of different constituencies with different views He said the question is basically
whether public land should be used in the settlement or whether monies from general state revenues
should be made available to purchase land to use in the settlement Mr Greenburg said his under-
standing is that the Cayugas have no preference He also said he learned that without the Board's
resolution opposing the inclusion of Connecticut Hill in the land claim settlement, this land probably
would have been included in the proposal It was noted that land in the Town of Danby was men-
tioned for consideration in the settlement, and Mr Greenburg said this land is not one of the three
areas being seriously considered at this time Mr Greenburg was asked to notify the Board if this
land is considered so that the Board can take any necessary action There was further discussion and
Mi Greenburg said his actions will be based on the resolution adopted by this Board unless he is
directed otherwise Chairman Dates thanked Mr Greenburg for updating the Board and asked him
to 'report back after the Task Force meeting
Under privilege of the floor, Charles Schwartz expressed his concerns about the construction of
an armory in Tompkins County and questioned why this county is considered a number one pnonty
He said he finds the concept of the proposed construction of a National Guard Armory not com-
pletely in line with the thinking of many of the people in Tompkins County, and he asked the Board
to consider what an armory does to the community
1 Under privilege of the floor, Lin Nelson of 112 First Street, Ithaca, expressed some concerns
about the proposed armory and the process to be followed including further discussion, economic,
social, and environmental impact analyses, and public review of the documentation of the process
whereby Tompkins County was selected for the construction of the proposed armory
1 Under privilege of the floor, Henry Lowendorf of 123 Eastern Heights Drive, Ithaca, spoke on
behalf of the Tompkins County Unemployed Council who believe that jobs created in this area
ought to be beneficial and peaceful He proposed that there be aublic discussion on what
Tompkins County needs in terms of construction and in terms of jobs before any decisions are made
Under privilege of the floor, Jayne Port of Brooktondale said she is concerned about the
pnonties for tax dollars She believes there are sufficient structures currently standing that serve the
same function as an armory while day care centers are seriously needed in this county and would pro-
vide at least as many jobs She said she feels it is important for the Board to consider what the com-
munity needs, what projects are most beneficial, and whether an armory meets any of these needs
'Under privilege of the floor, Tim Joseph of Brooktondale said he supports the statements made
tonight about the waste an armory represents in spending money on something we do not need when
there are so many things we do need He also said he feels that building an armory in Tompkins
County would be building a target for demonstrations which in his opinion would eventually result
in a confrontation between protesters and armed National Guardsmen
Under privilege of the floor, Peter Kardas of 112 First Street, Ithaca, encouraged the Board not
to add to the agenda the resolution entitled Encouraging Construction of a State Armory in
Tompkins County He noted several historic instances which he feels indicate what the meaning of
the National Guard has been He said that as a County, we should not look at a National Guard
simply as an economic matter but also as a political matter, which he feels has been used to control
dissident parts of the population
Under privilege of the floor, Jonathan Breux of Linn Street, Ithaca, addressed the subject of the
proposed armory He said that as a builder, he feels that the construction of this type of structure
would not create jobs for local residents but for builders in larger cities who are equipped to build
this type of facility He also said it is important to thing about whether building an armory would
require the rebuilding of roads, intersections, air strips, and the airport to make it accessible He
said there are presently several vacant buildings in the county, and he does not feel that another
fac lily needs to be built He urged the Board to delay action on this resolution until significant dis-
cussion can be utilized

Mr Tillapaugh, Chairman of the Health Committee, said the committee met May 2 and has
some items on the agenda The committee also discussed the request of the Health Department for
approval for certification by the New York State Health Department to establish a Long -Term
Home Health Care Program Since the Health Committee previously supported the proposal of

Members and guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance
Present 15 Representatives
Chairman Dates explained that this is not a public heanng He asked that all people who wish
to speak under privilege of the floor introduce themselves and try to keep statements under five
minutes He said any written statements may be filed with the Clerk of the Board
Arthur Williams, under privilege of the floor, spoke on behalf of the Rainbow Coalition of
Tompkins County He said the Rainbow Coalition opposes the proposed National Guard Armory
They feel that the public has not had adequate opportunity to voice their opinions about this
proposal The Rainbow Coalition also feels that the money that would be used to construct an ar-
mory could be put to better use in the County to meet the needs of the residents They also believe
that the proposed armory represents another step in the militarization of the economy and the
society and would create few jobs for Tompkins County
Under pnvilege of the floor, Fay Bougabis said she feels that this meeting should have been held
in the evening so that more of the public could have attended She said she isopposed to building
an armory in Lansing because it symbolizes many of the things people are opposed to, like wars and
nuclear weapons She feels the money should be spent on things that are needed
Lin Nelson, under privilege of the floor, said she has researched the uses of the National Guard
and feels that the National Guard is increasingly being used for military uses She encouraged all
Board members to thoroughly research the uses of the National Guard in order to make a decision
that is fair to the community
Under privilege of the floor, Robert Oaks of Ithaca spoke in opposition to the armory issue
Under privilege of the floor, Philip Munson of Lansing said he supports the National Guard and
feels it would be an asset to our community, however, he does not agree with the proposed location
He said that the location preferred by the National Guard is property that has great potential for
future development and County income from property taxes He said the National Guard will not
pay taxes, and he suggested that the area in the approach zone of the airport would be a better site
for the building because it offers little potential for tax revenue
Under privilege of the floor, Ruth Yarrow of 407 Hancock Street, Ithaca, said she is very con-
cerned about the placement of the National Guard She feels it will change the character of the com-
munity and will become a military target
Under privilege of the floor, Peter Kardas of the City of Ithaca referred to information he
gathered about the National Guard He feels that the idea of the National Guard being only a
weekend function and not part of the active forces of the United States is a myth, and that the Na-
tional Guard should not be discussed as a matter of state or local policy but also a matter of national
policy
Steve Jackson, under privilege of the floor, said he does not feel there is a need for an armory
in Tompkins County and that building one would be a misallocation of resources He suggested that
a message be sent to the Governor suggesting that there are better ways to create jobs than an ar-
mory
Under privilege of the floor, Ann Peters of Ithaca said she feels an armory would be a military
target for possible wars and not a resource
Under privilege of the floor, Michael Yarrow of Ithaca said he is concerned about the domestic
role of the National Guard He said histoncally it has been used to preventople from speaking
out to do what is right He urged the Board to consider that an armory would bnng into the com-
munity besides a few jobs
Under privilege of the floor, John Maier said he feels the people of Ithaca have not been given
a chance to learn about the armory and voice their opinions He said he would like to see a public
poll taken to see how the people of Ithaca feel about the armory
Under privilege of the floor, Nancy Tresner said this is a controversial subject and she suggested
that a public hearing be held to discern public sentiment on this issue She urged the Board to defeat
Resolution No "a" entitled Encouraging Construction of a State Armory in Tompkins County

Under privilege of the floor, Fred Todd and Al Moore of the Tompkins County Firemen's As-
sociation thanked the Board for their cooperation in preparation for the annual convention of the
Central New York Firemen's Association, which will be held in Tompkins County July 19-21 As
co-chairman of the convention, Mr Todd and Mr Moore updated the Board on the plans and
schedule of events for the convention and invited Board members to attend Chairman Dates, on be-
half of the Board, thanked the firemen and wished them luck with the convention
Under privilege of the floor, Nancy Tresner of the City of Ithaca, said she is opposed to the con-
struction of an armory anywhere in Tompkins County She feels funds used for the construction of
an armory would be a waste of taxpayers' money because they could be used to meet many other
needs m Tompkins County She said she questions the economic value of an armory in the com-
munity in terms of jobs and income, and she is opposed to the site selected by the National Guard
for the proposed location because she said it would remove from the tax roll one of the most valu-
able pieces of property in the county Ms Tresner urged the Board to hold a public heanng on this
issue before taking action
Chairman Dates said the National Guard would like to receive any questions or concerns about
the armory, and anyone wishing to contact them can obtain the Albany address from Mrs Howell
Under privilege of the floor, William Bennett, a resident of the City of Ithaca and president-elect
of the Chamber of Commerce, said he served in the National Guard, and his personal opinion is that
the National Guard is a good neighbor and provides excellent economic benefit to the community
He said the framers of the Constitution had great foresight in requiring that the President of the
United States, an elected civilian, be Commander -in ief of military forces and in tryingto
preserve the concept of the citizen soldier, which brings common sense and the opinion of' the
general public into the military He said he feels an armory would be an asset to the community
Under pnvilege of the floor, Douglas Brown, a resident of the City of Ithaca and a draft coun-
selor, said he has found that the National Guard is now very much a part of the armed forces, and
its recruits are subject to military training and service dunng times of war He believes the primary
purpose of the National Guard is to supplement and complement the armed forces. He said another
concern that must be addressed by legislators is local control over the land once it is leased to the
federal government
Under privilege of the floor, Jeremy Vergen said he opposes an armory He believes the question
is more complicated than a local issue and that many people feel they have no recourse to stop this
country's military pursuit He feels a public hearing is essential in order to determine this particular
issue
Under privilege of the floor, Ray Bordoni, Chairman of the Community Development Commit-
tee of the Tompkins County Chamber of Commerce, said the Chamber's position is one of support
He said they have dealt with this issue several times and it has received support Mr Bordoni said
there are approximately 625 unemployed construction workers in this area He said no new large
projects are planned for the near future, and the construction of an armory would provide short-
term jobs for many of these construction workers as well as jobs for skilled tradesmen In addition,
he said an armory would have a significant financial impact on this community in terms of income
into the area from salaries paid to enlisted men, officers, and support staff, purchase of materials
and supplies, and purchase of fuel, food, and other items necessary for the operation of the facility
June 26, 1984 107
,He urged Board members to consider carefully the positive economic impact and employment pic-
ture while deliberating on the armory issue
Petitions signed by over 1,200 people addressed to Governor Cuomo and the Board of Repre-
sentatives opposing the location of an armory in Tompkins County were submitted to the Board
Under pnvilege of the floor, Anthony DelPlato, a resident of Tompkins County, said he feels this
is an inappropnate time to have discussions on an armory when students are looking for work or
traveling He said one of the benefits the National Guard offers to young people is money for
schooling. He feels that this uses the military for blackmail instead of offenng the money directly to
the people Mr DelPlato also said he feels the idea of the citizen soldier is a myth
Under privilege of the floor, Lewis Ward of Brooktondale said he isopposed to the armory be-
cause he feels there are a lot of questions that have not been answered a asked if the decision to
locate a National Guard armory in Tompkins County means that the existing law enforcement, fire
department and Fire and Disaster Coordinator lack the skills necessary to handle a natural disaster
If so, he feels training should be implemented to develop the existing expertise m the community m -
stead of spending money on an armory He said he is also concerned about the possibility of artillery
accidents if an armory were to be located here
Chairman Dates said that if the armory issue comes to the Board for a vote, there will be a call
for a public hearing.
i Under privilege of the floor, Mr Culligan said there is a problem in his distract with trucks violat-
ing a State law which prohibits trucks from using Aurora Street unless they have local delmnes. He
suggested that more police patrol might reduce the number of violations. Mr Ray said the recent
increase may be caused by a lack of road signs m Candor Mr Stein said there is also a problem with
truck traffic on East State Street, and additional police patrol would be beneficial Chairman Dates
ferred these requests to Mr Mason, Chairman of the Public Safety and Corrections Committee
Under pnvilege of the floor, Mr Lifton said he feels that decisions about the armory should be
made by the entire Board in the most informed manner possible
Under pnvilege of the floor, Mrs Ltvesay reported on the meeting she attended last week of the
Supervisors' and County Legislators' Association and summarized some of the discussions on
revenue sharing. Chairman Dates suggested that information on this topic be referred to the chair-
man of the Budget and Administration Committee, Mr Watros
Mr Tillapaugh, Chairman of the Health Committee, said the committee met June 6 In addition
to the business reflected on the agenda, there will be another resolution to add at the appropnate
time The committee also heard a request by the Special Children's Center to include their 1985
budget request as a line item Mr Tillapaugh said the committee recommended this request to the
Budget and Administration Committee for consideration The committee heard a request by
Broome Development Center to build an intermediate care facility in Ithaca for developmentally
disabledpeople The committee voted favorably on this request, and Mr Tillapaugh said it now
needs to be reviewed by the appropnate health services agencies The committee meeting scheduled
for tomorrow has been cancelled
Mr Culligan, Chairman of the Education Committee, said the committee has several items on
the agenda as well as appointments to recommend at the appropriate time He reminded the Board
that a public hearing on the 1984-85 Operating Budget of Tompkins Cortland Community College
is scheduled for July 10 at 9-30 a m The possibility of an additional seat on the Job Training Council
was mentioned, and Mrs Call said the Committee has requested more information on this, which
is expected in July Mrs Nichols said the Library Board of Trustees adopted two resolutions at their
last meeting One deals with the electncal system, which they believe was incorrectly installed and
has caused several minor fires Mr Ray said county staff will examine the electrical system The
second resolution requests an architectural study of the structural condition of the library before the
present renovations are completed
Mr Mason, Chairman of the Public Safety and Corrections Committee, said the Committee met
briefly before this meeting and acted on some budget adjustments which have been forwarded to the
Budget and Administration Committee
Mr Mason, Chairman of the Jail Study Committee, said the committee has met twice recently
to review and discuss the selection of an architect to undertake the design aspect of the jail, and they
hope to have a recommendation for this Board in the near future He said that in the course of dis-
cussion, one concern continues to be raised, and that is the site selected for the location of the jail
and the costs involved in prepanng that site He asked Board members to continue to think about
this and address ideas to it Mr Mason said the committee has asked Commissioner Mobbs to work
with HOLT Architects in conducting additional tests of the existing fill and determining whether this
will have a significant impact on the preparation of the site Mr Mason informed the Board that a
financial penalty will be imposed on the county if construction of the jail is not begun by 1985

house parking problem, and they hope to have a proposal ready for the August Board meeting. He
said the committee heard an update on the Environmental Management Council pesticide program,
which needs NYSDEC approval before a site will be available for county residents to dispose of
their pesticides Mr Ray also reported that things are proceeding with the Department of Social Ser-
vices office space arrangement Mr Ray noted that draft copies of the Sequence of Events relating
to the armory issue in Tompkins County have been prepared and distributed to Board members
along with clippings from The Ithaca Journal that were available when the draft was prepared He
said a draft was prpared in order to allow anopportunity for additions or corrections Mr Liguon,
Commissioner of Planning, submitted an amendment to the Sequence of Events which explains the
circumstances under which the armory resolution was omitted from the May 22 agenda of the Board
of Representatives meeting. He said he has been questioned by a Board member who suggested that
the resolution was deliberately withheld Mr Liguori explained that the omission was an inadvertent
error on his part, and he asked that the amendment be included in the Sequence of Events Mr Ray
asked that Board members contact the committee chairman with concerns about issues that are in
a particular committee
Mrs Call, Chairman of the Human Services Committee, said the committee met June 6 and has
an item on the agenda The next meeting will be June 28 at noon She said the Department of Social
Services Advisory Council will be holding meetings every Wednesday in July at 11 a m at the Social

as part of the needs assessment Mrs. Call said Beth Jenkins has been inviting staff to the Council
meetings to explain their jobs in the delivery of services
Mr Watros, Chairman of the Budget and Administration Committee, said the committee met
June 18 and has several items on the agenda Other business the committee reviewed and discussed
at that meeting was the Revenue Sharing Report from the Human Services Coalition, budget
guidelines for 1985, deferred compensation, and insurance proposals Mr Watros said the commit-
tee also considered the Health Department's request to combine two accounts, but because the ac-
counts must be reported individually to Audit and Control, the committee decided there was no
benefit in combining them In addition, he said the committee discussed the employee recognition
plan, which they hope will be implemented in the near future
Mr Murphy, County Administrator, noted that he has distnbuted copies of the 1984 Contingent
Fund Status.
Mr Williamson, County Attorney, reported that the arbitrator has awarded the elevator contrac-
tor $2,139 instead of 52,500 He said he tned an assessment case today, and a decision is expected
in about one month Mr Williamson reported on the matter of PCBs at Tompkins Cortland Com-
munity College He said the case on the part of Tompkins and Cortland Counties would be that
when the transformer was installed in 1972 it was of improper design thereby causing PCBs He said
college attorneys are in the process of interviewing experts on this subject, and a request for funds
will be needed if an expert is selected to work for the counties
Mr Stein, Chairman of the Reapportionment Committee, said the committee has completed its
work and a resolution will be presented to the Board tonight at the appropriate time He said he

mory in Tompkins County be withdrawn and returned to the Planning and Public Works Committee
for further discussion and action Mr Lifton said that on June 14 the Board voted to place this
resolution on this agenda, and he feels it would be more apprapnate for the entire Board to decide
whether or not to discuss this resolution Chairman Dates said he would honor the request of the
committee chairman to withdraw this resolution There was some discussion Upon request, Mr
Williamson said he believes Chairman Dates ruled correctly according to the Rules of the Board.
Mr Stein said that dunng discussions, there have been many references to economic impact, and he
requested that this issue be referred not only to the Planning and Public Works Committee but also
the Economic Development Committee and perhaps the Public Safety and Corrections Committee
also Chairman Dates said he would take this under advisement

cause no case for the defense need for building a National Guard Armory has been made Mr

cept in Tompkins County and feels the economic benefits can help continue the social programs in
this county Mr Culligan said he supports the armory and the citizen -backed army because it is much
cheaper than a standing army and it keeps people in their own community Mrs Call said she will
vote against this resolution because the majonty of the constituents she has heard from are against
it and because she cannot be certain that an armory would be good for Tompkins County Mrs

there are many other ways that federal funds could be more proportionately distributed to New
York State, and she is voting against this budding m terms of what it represents Mr Tillapaugh said
he intends to support this resolution because he feels the work the National Guard does to defend
people is important and he said the majonty of the people he has talked with feel the same way Mr
Slattery said there has been an army reserve in the county for several years, and he feels they have
been good neighbors and have not projected a bad image He feels this issue involves more than
economics; it also involves military readiness, and Mr Slattery said he will support this resolution

The meeting was adjourned at 9 27 p m to November 29 at 6 p m for a public hearing on the

November 29, 1984 281
ADJOURNED MEETING
November 29, 1984
Chairman Dates called the meeting to order at 600 p m in the Main Courtroom of the
Tompkins County Courthouse
Present 14 Representatives Excused 1 (Representative Ray)
PUBLIC HEARING
Chairman Dates called to order a public heanng on a proposed local law to provide that no ex-
emptions provided for under Section 458-a of the Real Property Tax Law will be granted, or the
adoption of an alternate local law reducing the maximum veterans ' exemption allowable pursuant
to Section 458-a to a total sum of S30,000
Mr Williamson, County Attorney, explained the options before the Board tonight regarding the
veteran's tax exemption
Ruth Yarrow of 407 Hancock Street, Ithaca, said she feels that veterans should have support for
their medical and psychological needs, but she feels that this aid should come from the federal
government not from the local municipalities whose taxpayers cannot afford the increased taxes She
also, feels that this is not a progressive law as proposed because veterans who do not own homes
would not benefit from it
Edgar Swart of 1151 Ellis Hollow Road, Ithaca, a World War II veteran said he is a beneficiary
to of small exemption which has continuously decreased as assessments have increased so that the ex-
emption of 10 6 percent of the assessed valuation he received in 1969 now amounts to 3 6 percent
of the assessed valuation He said he supports this exemption legislation
Robert Kurlander of 510 Mitchell Street, Ithaca, a Korean War veteran, said he is against the
veteran's tax exemption because it places an unfair burden on the remainder of the taxpayers He
saidithere is already a considerable amount of tax exempt property in Tompkins County and the ad-
ditional property that would be affected by this exemption is unknown Mr Kurlander said he feels
this legislation is ill-advised and may not accomplish what it is expected to, and he urged its defeat
Bob Nobles of 112 Falls Street, Ithaca, a World War II veteran, said he is not comfortable with
this tax exemption He noted that the veterans who do not own homes will not benefit from this ex-
emption but will pay more rent when the taxes are raised, as will other taxpayers He said this is an
unfair and unequal way to give veterans a benefit
Harry
DeLibero, Counsel for the New York State Division of Veterans' Affairs, County
Veterans' Service Officer, a veteran, and a resident of Tompkins County, said he feels that the table
prepared to show the effect of the veterans exemption on the County would be the worst case As
Service Officer, Mr DeLibero presented figures to show his best estimate of the exemption's effect,
considering all variables, which show a maximum loss to the County in assessed valuation of S60 mil-
lion He said his personal feeling, based on the information he has presented, is that all
municipalities should adopt the maximum level
Edward Tnnkle, Amencan Legion Commander of Tompkins County, urged the Board to sup-
port,the maximum veteran's tax exemption He said that based on his information and calculation,
the exemption would result in an increase to the tax rate of 14-17 cents per thousand
H B Marlette of 103 Beachwood, Groton, a World War II veteran and former Pnsoner of War,
said he supports this exemption He said he currently receives a tax exemption as a World War II
veteran, but it has lost its value since it was first begun because assessments have continued to nse
He said he also feels that the Korean War and Vietnam War veterans are entitled to an exemption
Barbara Whitlark, a veteran of 26 years in the Navy, said she is very interested in the tax law and
the exemption because she is starting to build for the first time
Will Burbank of 222 Utica Street, Ithaca, said he feels the pnmary strength of this legislation is
symbolic He feels its pnmary failing is that ultimately it is poor public policy because it is regressive
and benefits most the people who probably need it least, it is inequitable geographically because
each municipality is considering it separately, and there is no clear idea of its costs Mr Burbank en-
couraged the Board to support the substitute resolution and suggest that something be done on a
State or federal level that would be more equitable
282 November 29, 1984
Paul Fairbanks of 509 Cascadella Street, Ithaca, said he recently purchased a home, and he is not
a veteran He said he agrees that veterans should be acknowledged for their service to this country,
but he feels it is a federal responsibility and that a more equitable plan is needed Mr Fairbanks
urged the Board not to rush into a decision and support this legislation at this time
Roger Livesay of 147 Snyder Hill Road, a World War II veteran, said he is against this legislation
because he feels it is grossly unfair and does not take into consideration the differences of experien-
ces of veterans
Comm B Blanton of 132 Esty Street, Ithaca, Past Commander of the Ithaca Chapter of Disabled
American Veterans, said we are our brother's keeper, and the decision is the Board's
Sarah Jones of 205 Hook Place, Ithaca, said she is a single parent who is struggling to pay her
taxes and keep her house She said she would pay the extra tax of 15 cents per thousand if she could
be assured that it would help She asked the Board to help those people who need it
Nancy Brown said she would like to speak on behalf of the truly poor and needy of this com-
munity and remind the veterans that the money taken from the community on their behalf increases
the burden and changes the economy of this community She said she would favor the state and
federal governments taking a larger share of the burden for financing the veterans' needs according
to need
No one else wished to speak and the public hearing was closed at 6 57 p m
RESOLUTION NO. 323 - ADOPTION OF LOCAL LAW NO. 6 - 1984 -
ALTERNATE VETERANS EXEMPTION -
REAL PROPERTY TAXES
Moved by Mr Watros, seconded by Mr Tillapaugh It was Moved by Mrs Livesay, seconded by
Mr Stein to substitute Resolution "ee" for Resolution "dd" (Resolution No 323)
Mr Watros said he agrees with some of the elements of the substitute resolution, but he feels
that while pursuing legislation that would recognize all veterans for their service, something should
be adopted that would provide at least some recognition
Mr Stein said he is in favor of the substitute resolution He said there will still be an opportunity
to opt in at a later time if the substitute resolution is adopted, and in the meantime, more exact
figures will be available, and he said there is a possibility that more equitable state legislation will
be developed by then
Mr Litton urged support of the substitute resolution because he feels it gives the County a bet-
ter chance to properly acknowledge our veterans
After further discussion, a roll call was taken on the motion to substitute Resolution "ee" for
Resolution "dd" (Resolution No 323) Ayes 1,587 (Representatives Lifton, Livesay, Nichols, Slat-
tery, Stein, Culligan) Noes 2,106 Representatives Mason, Tillapaugh, Shurtleff, Starr, Watros,

SUBSTITUTE RESOLUTION ee - ADOPTION OF LOCAL LAW NO. 6 -
1984 - ALTERNATE VETERANS
EXEMPTION - REAL PROPERTY
TAXES (Lost)
WHEREAS, Chapter 525 of the Laws of 1984 did amend the New York State Real Property Tax
Law and provides for additional tax exemption to veterans by offenng an alternative to Section 458
of that law, and
WHEREAS, this amendment gives certain options to each county government including retain-
ing the existing Veterans Exemption Program, and
WHEREAS, the compensation of veterans through real property tax exemption is unfair to
veterans because it bases the amount on the value of the real estate owned by the veteran rather
than need or merit and veterans who rent not only have no benefit but must help pay for the benefits
given to their comrades and
WHEREAS, said exemptions shift the tax burden to the other residents of the community
November 29, 1984 283
whether property owners or renters including the poor, elderly, young families and veterans who
rent, and
WHEREAS, the administration of such a program is an additional cost to be imposed on said
residents, and

ing to the Alternate Veterans Exemption from real property taxes, and

RESOLVED, That Local Law No 6 providing that the County elects not to have the exemption
of Section 458-a of the Real Property Tax Law apply to the County of Tompkins be and the same
hereby is adopted effective immediately,
RESOLVED, further, That the Clerk of the Board publish a true copy of said Local Law in the
official newspapers of the County for two successive weeks within ten days after this Local Law is
adopted, and after said Local Law shall have been finally adopted, the Clerk shalt file within five
days one certified copy in the Office of the County Clerk, one certified copy with the State Comp-
troller and four certified copies with the Secretary of State
Mr Watros urged the Board to support this resolution (No 323) because he said at this time
it is the only means available to recognize veterans who served after World War II He said that from
the discussion at the last committee meeting, the Budget and Administration Committee expects to
consider in the near future a draft resolution that would request some type of modification to the
State legislation
Mr Tillapaugh suggested that people notify their State legislators of the inadequacies of this
proposed legislation, but he said that in the meantime, he has to support this resolution
Mr Williamson said he has ruled that all Board members may vote on this issue

There was discussion about Resolution No 315 — Requesting New York State Department of
Transportation to Initiate Continued Safety Improvements Along Existing Route 13, and concern
was expressed that the resolution pnnted in the minutes of November 20, 1984 is not the exact
resolution adopted by the Board After discussion, Chairman Dates asked the County Attorney and
the Clerk of the Board to correct the minutes to reflect the actual resolution adopted at the meeting,
and he said the Board will act on the November 20 minutes at the next meeting (The minutes have
been so corrected)
The minutes of December 4, 1984 were approved as printed Under privilege of the floor, John
Gutenberger, Mayor of the City of Ithaca, said that since he first spoke to the Board about the Tayn-
ton jail site, additional unanticipated costs have developed making this site more expensive, but he
feels many of the costs can be shaved or eliminated through creative architectural design and
negotiations He noted that City taxpayers have a large financial stake in this decision, and he said
cooperation between the Jail Study Committee and the City has been excellent Chairman Dates
thanked Mayor Gutenberger, his staff, and Common Council members for their interest and
Cooperation in this matter
December 18, 1984 291
Under privilege of the floor, Anne Furry, Mayor of the Village of Lansing, said she feels that the
reports on the proposed jail sites do not use the same evaluation cntena and are biased toward the
Lansing site She said selection of this site would violate the integrity of the industrial district sited
in the Town and Village General Plans and would ignore the planning guidelines established by the
municipality and approved by the County Other concerns expressed by Mayor Furry were inade-
quate study of the initial and operational costs over the anticipated life of the jail, elimination of the
general public costs in excess of the operational costs, and a lack of long-range planning in the Coun-
ty for services
Under privilege of the floor, Janice Esman, Chairman of the Town of Ithaca Democratic Com-
mittee, said that the Committee adopted a resolution on December 5, 1984 that directed that a re-
quest be made to the Tompkins County Board of Representatives that no final decision be taken on
the site of the new County jail until further consideration be given to the reuse of the present site,
Options One and Two of the Tompkins County Jail Planning Study dated April 1983 She said that
the Board is urged to obtain comparative cost estimates for operation, maintenance, debt service,
and manpower requirements, and to evaluate all impacts in a reconsideration of the feasibility of
reuse of the present jail site
Under privilege of the floor, Jack Oblak, Village of Lansing Trustee, said that their full Board
cannot make a response because there was not enough time for them to meet since the report was
issued He feels there are still concerns that need to be addressed regarding maintenance costs and
operational costs of the two comparative sites as well as Safety factors and long-term planning for
the use of the site He said he does not feel that these concerns have been addressed in an objective
statement
Under privilege of the floor, Michael Lane, Mayor of the Village of Dryden, said that the Village
feels that submitting the proposed Route 13 comdor resolution to the state is ill-advised because
it includes the Al corridor which indicates that this corridor would be acceptable He said the Vil-
lage of Dryden and the Dryden Central School Board of Education have previously stated that this
corridor would not be acceptable Mayor Lane said his personal feeling is that the original purpose
of the corridor, which is to gain access to Route 81 in Cortland, has been lost in this process He
feels that Tompkins County is an economic asset to the state and is entitled to access to Route 81
Under privilege of the floor, Dooley Kiefer of the League of Women Voters of Tompkins Coun-
ty spoke about the Route 13 corridor She said the League urges legislators to hear and heed County
residents' voices and to pursue improvements to the existing Route 13 and not to send locally
rejected corridors on to the state as recommended" corridors She said that since there is apparent-
ly no chance of any new Route 13 alignments for 20 years or more, there is more than enough time
to see the necessary reconstruction/rehabilitation of existing Route 13 completed and to evaluate the
results before deciding whether to renew consideration of new corridors
Mr Mason, Chairman of the Public Safety and Corrections Committee, noted the action of the
committee on the Alternatives to Incarceration Program, which is reflected in a resolution this eve-
ning He asked the Board to keep informed of this new legislation because Board action will be re-
quired early next year in order for the County to participate in the program Mr Mason said the
Cnminal Justice Advisory Board will have to be reactivated, and he asked the Board to be aware
that some of the positions will require nominations from the community

tions for a new 15 passenger van for Meadow House They will also present several appointments

ing held December 14, and Mr Mason apologized for this oversight Mr Liguori summanzed the
information received from the consultants on the City site and gave an overview of the report com-
panng the Taynton City site and Warren Road Airport site, and Mr Murphy reported on the financ-
ing costs of municipal borrowing under the General Municipal Law The resolution was Moved by
Mr Mason, seconded by Mr Freeman
Mrs Nichols urged defeat of this resolution She said that the substantial change in the extra
costs of building the jail on the City site as originally presented and those figures presented tonight
raise doubts as to the sincenty of the monetary change In addition, she feels it is wrong to force this
building on the Village of Lansing when they do not desire it Mrs Nichols said the City of Ithaca
wants the jail, and the fact that an office will be needed within the City should be addressed as part
of the cost She said another consideration is the damage to the City as the geographical and political
center of the County
Mrs Livesay urged that this resolution be Tabled until there has been more senous and creative
study of renovating the existing jail
There was further discussion, and Mr Mason said that after the committee recommended the
reconsideration of the Warren Road site, they responded to the concerns expressed by the Village
of Lansing He also noted that demographics show that this location is the center of the highest im-
December 18, 1984 293
pact area, as the population center continues to move toward the northeast Mr Mason said there
has been an ongoing and intense effort to present the most accurate and up-to-date figures, and he
feels that the selection of the more expensive site places an unnecessary burden on County taxpayers
He urged the Board to consider the Tong -range effects and to support this resolution
It was Moved by Mrs Livesay, seconded by Mr Stein to Table this resolution until there has
been further study of renovating the existing jail Motion lost by voice vote with Representatives

There was further discussion, and Mr Lifton said he cannot support this resolution He said
that the Village of Lansing is one of the smallest municipalities with one of the smallest population
bases in the County, yet it provides one of the largest sources of sales tax revenue to the community
and receives a disproportionately smaller share of that back. Mr Lifton said it would be unfortunate
to add to their burden by forcing them to accept a facility they do not want

RESOLUTION NO. 341 - INFORMING NEW YORK STATE
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION ON
SUGGESTED FUTURE ROUTE 13
CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENTS - AIRPORT
AREA TO CORTLAND COUNTY (Resolution
as amended lost)
Moved by Mr Ray, seconded by Mr Freeman Mr Stein said he is not going to support this
resolution after listening to the comments made tonight He said rapid improvement of existing
Route 13 is needed, and he feels work should be aimed at finding a new alignment that would meet
the County's future needs
After discussion, it was Moved by Mr Ray, seconded by Mr Freeman to Table this resolution
for rewording by the Commissioner of Planning. Later in the meeting, it was Moved by Mr Ray,
seconded by Mr Stem to lift this resolution from the Table Motion unanimously adopted by voice
vote The following amendments were Moved by Mr Culligan, seconded by Mr Ray and adopted
by voice vote with Mr Watros voting no
In the eighth "Whereas" (2), delete the period at the end and add the words "and including
the A-2 Suboption which passes north of the high school and terminates on existing Route
13 approximately 3,000 feet north of the Tompkins Cortland Community College entrance "
The first "Resolved" (2) would read " to study the A-1, Suboption A-2, and 13-1 Alter-
natives "
A friendly amendment was offered by Mr Stein and accepted to amend the eighth "Whereas"
by changing the words "every conceivable alternative has" to "many alternatives have "
Mr Watros said he opposes this resolution because he feels it incorrectly implies to the State
that this recommendation has full County endorsement He also reemphasized his concern for the
speedy redevelopment of the existing Route 13 and said he feels that designating comdors at this
time sends mixed signals to the State Mr Tillapaugh said he agrees that the pnmary concern is
upgrading the existing Route 13 He does not feel it essential to adopt this resolution at the present
time since it may cause confusion, and he does not think a delay of a few months will jeopardize any
work that may be done on the new corridor
Mr Ray said that the State's planning process is very complicated, and the purpose of this resolu-
tion is to get the State's planning cycle started

Resolution as amended lost
WHEREAS, the New York State Department of Transportation In the early 1970's charged the
County of Tompkins and the County of Cortland to jointly arrive at a suggested plan for long range
improvements to Route 13 from the Airport area in Tompkins County to I-81 in Cortland County,
including such new alignments as may be appropriate, and
WHEREAS, both Counties, meeting jointly and separately, have considered and studied
numerous alternate alignments including use of the existing alignments where appropnate, and
WHEREAS, the objectives for the new corridors have been to achieve improved safety, level of
traffic service, and improved community service on a state of the art two-lane highway with turning
lanes and climbing lanes as necessary, and wide shoulders throughout the entire length, with limited
access where appropriate and a standard four -lane taking on any new alignments for long range fu-
ture use, and
WHEREAS, another pnme objective has been and continues to be ongoing improvements of the
existing Route 13 alignment by Improving safety and the level of service so that the Counties will
have these benefits pending construction of any new alignments in the future, and
WHEREAS, within Tompkins County there has been essentially continuous study of the vanous
possible alternatives since 1970, spearheaded by the County Planning Department, with full oppor-
tunity for municipal, public, advisory boards, and special interest involvement and Input, and
December 18, 1984 295
WHEREAS, the studies have taken Into consideration the impact of improvements on the en-
vironment, farm land and other uses, communities, economics and people impact of the various al-
ternatives and this information has been fully disclosed during the course of the planning process,
and
WHEREAS, it is expected that the New York State Department of Transportation will proceed
with a formal comdor planning process in the normal course of events, bnnging their expertise to
bear on the various alternative corridors, and
WHEREAS, within Tompkins County many alternatives have been considered and three con-
cepts have emerged as follows
1 Major improvement of the existing alignment with no new alignments except a possible bypass of
the Village of Dryden
2 The A-1 Alternative (see Plan) which commences just westerly of the Fall Creek bridge of existing
Route 13 and continues on new alignment generally parallel to and northerly of the existing
Route 13, crossing Route 38 near the Dryden High School and passing between the High
School and the Village of Dryden, interchanging with existing Route 13 at the foot of the
Diyden Hill at Tompkins Cortland Community College entrance, hence it continues on ex-
isting Route 13 up to the Dryden Hill into Cortland County and including the A-2 Suboption
which passes north of the high school and terminates on existing Route 13 approximately
3,000 feet north of Tompkins Cortland Community College entrance
3 The 13-1 Alternative which starts at the Airport near the end of the runway on existing Route 13,
running on new alignment generally eastward, interchanging with Route 38 north of Freeville
Village, passing through the northeast boundary of the Village, hence turning southeasterly
to interchange with the Dryden/McLean Road to provide access to Dryden Village and
Tompkins Cortland Community College, hence interchanging with existing Route 13 at the
top of the Dryden Hill lust north of Ballard Corners where it continues toward Cortland on
the existing alignment
WHEREAS, there appears to be strong local consensus that for the long range, new alignment
should be identified for further study by the New York State Department of Transportation but that
the existing alignment must be improved as an interim measure to insure greater safety and im-
proved traffic flow, and
WHEREAS, none of the above alternatives have achieved a clear local consensus as expressed
by differing resolutions adopted by the various advisory boards sponsored by the County and
municipal boards, and copies of these resolutions have been distributed to the County Board of
Representatives members and will be made available to New York State Department of Transpor-
tation, and
WHEREAS, it is recognized that any recommendation by the County Board of Representatives
is purely for further formal planning studies by the New York State Department of Transportation
and that there will be ample opportunity for municipal, advisory board, and public input dunng the
course of these State sponsored studies and that any new alignment construction is several years
away, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, by this Board as follows
1 Since the existing Route 13 alignment must continue to function as a pnncipal highway for many
years pnor to any new construction of major improvements, it is of critical importance that
the New York State Department of Transportation continue to identify, in concert with
municipalities, projects designed to improve safety and the level of service of the existing
facility and that these projects be pnontized and scheduled for improvement based upon a
five year annual work plan beginning in 1985
2 New York State Department of Transportation is hereby asked to study the A-1, Suboption A-2,
and B -I Alternatives and to initiate the formal planningrocess, allowing public and
municipal input to determine an alternative which will provide the greatest benefits to the
County and the traveling public The County Planning Department and the Ithaca -Tomkins
County Transportation Commission are hereby charged to provide local coordination ofsuch
studies, submitting all available local data, reports, and maps to the New York State Depart-
ment of Transportation
RESOLVED, further, That this resolution be forwarded to the Cortland County Legislature for
their endorsement and that the Cortland County Legislature forward to this Board their companion
resolution for endorsement prior to submission of the companion resolutions to the New York State
Department of Transportation

WHEREAS, Chapter 525 of the Laws of 1984 did amend the New York State Real Property Tax
Law and provides for additional tax exemption to veterans by offenng an alternative to Section 458
of that law, and
WHEREAS, the compensation of veterans through real property tax exemption is unfair to
veterans because it bases the amount on the value of the real estate owned by the veteran rather
than need or meet and veterans who rent not only have no benefit but must help pay for the benefits
given to fellow veterans, and

whether property owners or renters including the poor, elderly, young families and veterans who
rent, and

residents, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Administration Committee, That the
Tompkins County Board of Representatives demands that the New York State Legislature repeal

The Recording Office and the Department of Motor Vehicles have undergone significant chan-
ges in 1984 Previously the Recording Office land records Indices were computer printed and merged
only every few years Since June 15, 1984, all indexing of land records is being generated in house
on a mini -computer and merged daily This includes the Assignments and Releases of Mortgages
and Miscellaneous Records which in the past were indexed by hand in handwritten indices We are
also utilizing the computer for all fee receipts, and have replaced the previously handwntten
Mortgage Tax Record with a computer printed record Implementation of these programs was not
without blood, sweat and tears on occasion but has resulted in more currently accessible information
for all concerned The modernized system has been made possible through the budget support of
the Board of Representatives and the County Administrator
314 Tompkins County, New York
ANNUAL REPORT - 1984
MENTAL HEALTH
DIRECT SERVICES
Mental Health Clinic
Services at the Mental Health Clinic have remained stable in 1984 but we have increased or
strengthened several components in response to community needs We have added several new
therapy groups to the Mental Health Clinic and have increased our emphasis on Family therapy In
1984, the mental Health Clinic was able to increase available hours to include evenings Monday
through Thursday This was in response to a long standing concern from the community as well as
our concern that we were not open when many people could freely participate
We have added one full time psychiatric Social Worker to provide services under our expanded
forensic program We are particularly proud of this new worker and the new program that will pro-
vide coverage to areas that in the past had beenreviously unserved or under -served Currently this
worker is at the Jail approximately two hours daily weekdays and other times in emergency situa-
tions For nine months, the period for which data is available, the forensic program at the jail served
89 different individuals 115 individuals counseling and 179 group counseling sessions were provided
In addition, the forensic worker received 55 telephone contacts We have increased our work for the
courts and estimate that we will complete approximately 50 evaluations for the vanous courts in
Tompkins County We also provide consultation to the Probation Department and meet weekly with
their staff to offer advise on their cases In response to a community need, the Forensic Worker is
responsible for administenng a Sexual Offender treatment program and we have two groups of of-
fenders meeting regularly We anticipate expansion of this program in 1985
Case Management
Funded totally by the NYS Office of Mental Health, this program experienced considerable
growth in 1984 Two full time case managers and a half time senior caseworker position brought the
staff to 5.5 full time positions On January 1984, 116 individuals were on the rolls This number in-
creased to 136 on December 31, 1984 Case managers provided 5,000 staff hours during this time,
a 27% increase over 1983 levels
Emergency Outreach Services
The Clinic has continued to provide emergency mental health coverage dunng regular clinic
hours and evenings, weekends and holidays Daytime coverage has been provide by an emergency
outreach worker Although the number of referrals has been relatively small, we see the availability
of this worker to go outside the clinic as a valuable and important asset and a service that is an im-
portant part of a total treatment program in Tompkins County In 1984, the program operated out
of the Clinic three days a week and at Suicide Prevention and Cnsis Service two days a week In-
creasing the time at the Clinic has allowed us to offer more support services and to integrate the pro-
gram into overall clinic services We have also recently arranged for CSS staff to provide a per-
manent second staff member response to emergency situations
Vietnam Veterans Program
Our contract for mental health services for the Vietnam Veterans continues to operate with a
slightly decreased capacity Recent changes in legislation authorizing this program have meant
decreased funding to the VA and, therefore, to this particular program This has caused major
problems to the Veterans who require this service and can not otherwise pay for the service It has
and will continue to cause problems for the Tompkins County Mental Health Clinic in that once the
VA discontinues payments, the cost of that service will have to be borne by the veteran and public
monies We have made our concerns about these recent changes in the legislation known to our area
Congressman and will be preparing a more formal, presentation in the near future It appears that
our area Congressmen are interested in returning these benefits to the veterans and are looking to
us for the supporting documentation
Clinic visits increased 6% over 1983 levels The average number of persons seen each month also
increases as does the percentage of persons seen each month to the active caseload Clinic services
provided at other locations increased 11% over 1983 reflecting the work of the forensic and emer-
gency outreach workers
1984 was the first year twelve months of data was kept on the EOS program Use of the service
vaned monthly, from a low in January of eight to a high in March of 28 The monthly average was
thirteen Average time per contact was 2.5 hours Statistics indicates that the population served was
pnmanly young, 52% were under age 39, and 76% were female While 59% of people who received
service lived in either the City or Town of Ithaca, referrals came from all the major townships in the
Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 315
County As might be expected, the cosponsors of the program, the Clinic and Suicide Prevention,
made about half of all referrals While we were pleased with the vanety of referral sources, it was
disappointing to note the relatively few times the service was used by law enforcement officials 42%
of all referrals were seen face to face and 60% of these contacts were in people's homes Hours spent
with collaterals in both face to face and telephone contacts, were about the same as those spent with
identified clients
After Hours Program
The number of persons requinng hospitalization declined slightly in 1984 However, there con-
tinued to be a shift from the use of the state psychiatric center to Tompkins Community Hospital
It is an express goal of this service to provide emergency services to severely disabled persons in
order to avoid long term hospitalization The stability of the number of severe problems and the
resolution of these problems within our own community demonstrated the effectiveness of this pro-
gram
Meadow House
Average monthly clients on the rolls increased from 99 in 1983 to 113 in 1984 The number of
different persons served increased from 130 to 150 dunng the same penod Client visits rose from
9,630 tin 1983 to 12,820 in 1984 While the overall number of visits increased, the length of those
visits, on the average, decreased This was largely a result of a population age shift Older clients who
have come for full day program are aging out of the program In their place, we have been serving
a younger more mobile population who have tended to participate in agency activities for shorter
penods of time
The increasing number of clients and client visits and the shifting clientele toward a larger
majority of active but psychiatncally unstable adults also highlighted the need for new or revised
programming An interagency study of day program gaps which was facilitated by the Meadow
House Director, revealed a clear need for a work activities, pre -vocational type program that could
provide work expenence to clients whose needs made participation in a sheltered workshop or com-
petitive employment impossible Some clients would be new to Meadow House but it was estimated
that many, already at Meadow House, would profit from this addition Building on program con-
cepts and initiatives already in place at the agency, the Rehabilitation Counselor took primary
responsibility for designing such an expanded work oriented program Funding from the Office of
Mental Health was approved but problems in locating affordable appropnate space have delayed
implementation At years end there was still hope that these issues might be resolved and the new
program implemented in 1985
!In 1984, Meadow House increased program -generated revenues from Medicaid and client fees
29% over 1983 levels A new computerized billing system implemented in the fall, is now operating
rather smoothly Special credit is due the administrative staff for their part in implementing this new
system As a result of this and the increase in the number of 100% CSS funded services we provided,
we 'were able to significantly decrease the County's contnbution to the program In 1984, it
amounted to less than 2% of the total budget
Tompkins County Screening Committee
The Tompkins County Screening Committee continued to meet twice monthly in 1984 Repre-
sentatives from Tompkins Community Hospital and Developmental Disabilities Services presented
discharge plans to the team The screening committee continued its review of discharge plans
prepared by state and local facilities to assure their appropriateness within the limits of services
available in Tompkins County, assigned a case manager, and periodically reviewed a person's
progress in the community
Screeningincreased from 77 in 1983 to 98 in 1984 While Tompkins Community Hospital con-
tinues to refr the largest number of cases, referrals from Willard Psychiatnc Center doubled This
increase seems to reflect the implementation of new discharge planning procedures which give the
DSS/CSS case manager responsibility for presentation of Willard referrals to the screening commit-
tee
Proposed Living Arrangement
Supervised living situations, community residence, County Home and family care represented
38% of all living situations, the same as in 1983 As in 1983 also, 62% of those screened either lived
alone or with others

There was a significant increase in the number of case management responsibilities assumed by
the CSS (Community Support System) program New staff added in 1984 and increasing numbers
of CSS eligible persons would appear to account for this change
In 1984 there were 130 follow ups, up from 103 in 1983 Ninety-eight cases were closed in 1984
compared to 76 in 1983
There was a decrease in the number of readmissions to in-patient programs during the 90 day
period following the initial screening. All readmissions were to Tompkins Community Hospital al-
though six individuals had histones of prior hospitalization at Willard Psychiatric Center
Contract Agencies
1984
Total Approved Budgets $1,098,145
Amount Claimed 1,088,480-99%
Voluntary Contributions 314,789-29%
County Contribution 78,043-7%
State Aid 695,648-64%
While levels of claims vaned among the seven sources of state aid, as a County system, contract
agencies claimed 99% of their approved state funded budgets Approved budget lunits increased
14% but actual claims jumped a significant 27% from 1983 The level of voluntary contnbutions in-
creased 30% while the percentage of this deficit funding source remained relatively unchanged
County contributions decreased slightly both in terms of real dollars and as a percentage of the
deficit funding mix State aid reimbursement increased 30% in real dollars and showed a slight in-
crease as a percentage of the deficit funding mix
Programs
In 1984, the Association focused attention on issues relating to family and family structure A
step family chapter was organized and spun off for twelve participants Sixty people attended
workshops on raising siblings and kids who fall through the cracks A conference, entitled Family in
Focus, attracted 125 participants
The agency also sponsored an information day on support groups in the community and hosted
a leadership forum on this topic attended by twenty people Sixty people attended a panel discussion
on controversies of mental health treatment
The agency reported it receives approximately fifty calls a month for help in locating appropriate
mental health services It has also distnbuted a questionnaire on mental health coverage to major
Tompkins County employers and is developing a resource list for the County library
Suicide Prevention
This agency celebrated its fifteenth anniversary in 1984 Building on internal improvement noted
in 1983, in 1984 the size of the facility increased to include a training conference room, a volunteer
lounge and more adequate staff offices The telephone system was expanded and upgraded and a
computer system was purchased
Adolescent Outreach Program
Drop in programs continued at four area high schools While there has been a steady increase
in the use of the program dunng the past two years, there was a dramatic increase in the number
of students requesting services in the fall of 1984 (182 from September to December compared to
211 for the entire 1983-84 academic year) Consultations with school staff and agencyrsonnel and
presentations to over 1,100 students were also provided The agency also sponsored a community
panel discussion about the television film, "Silence of the Heart", a program about teenage suicide

Alcoholism Council
1984 was the first full year of operation for this agency as a certified alcoholism clinic The Coun-
cil also began a search for new quarters An expanding caseload and lack of handicapped acces-
sibility were the major reasons for this effort
In 1984, the Alcoholism Council referred 58 individuals for in-patient treatment compared to 76

1984 was a year of rebuilding for this agency after a community fund-raising drive in late 1983
raised $190,000 Loss of customer confidence, however, resulted in a significant loss of subcontract
work in the first four months of 1984 Rebuilding and diversifying a customer base was a major focus
of agency activities
The agency targeted expansion of off-site programs as a major goal in 1984 A janitorial training
program resulted in all trainees moving on to full time, part time and/or work stations in industry
positions Challenge managed Bottle Burts, a certified redemption center for cans and bottles and
this off-site placement provided both a good work setting for clients and public visibility for the
agency

Florence Starr Earlier a news conference with T V coverage and a tour of the city were held with
John Gutenberger, mayor officiating.
This year the Corinne Galvin Award was given to Nancie Zane for her activities as an advocate
for the nghts and needs of victims of crimes, offenders, youth, and those affected by sexual abuse
and violence
The James Gibbs award for outstanding achievement by auup went to the entire community
of Ithaca and Tompkins County for its outstanding support for Challenge Industries dunng that

The Commission formally designated the awards, naming them for outstanding individuals ex-
emplifying the goals of the Commission
Connne Galvin Award -- Outstanding Individual
2 James Gibb Award -- Outstanding Group
3 William DeWinter Award -- Outstanding Youth
B Handicapped/Disabilities Awareness Committee
Because of the National election, and to help the County Board of Elections, this committee led
by Steve Fellows undertook a complete survey of the polling places in the county to determine ac-
cessibility The final report showed that 62% of all locations were fully accessible to the hand-
icapped The balance needs some work ranging from minor tinkenng to major changes to achieve
the status of accessible This report has been passed along to the Board of Elections
C Police/Community Relations Committee
This committee was, and remains, a catalyst helping to defuse a potentially harmful incident be-
tween the police and the minority community in Ithaca Helping to foster a better understanding be-
tween these groups, this committee originally proposed community forums for that purpose It was
also successful in having input into the decision to enlarge the Police Commission from 3 to 5 in-
dividuals, and selecting candidates from as broad a community base as possible
D Planning Committee
The needs assessment study completed in 1983 was used as the basis for identifying educational
targets for 1984 This survey continues to ptuvide the guidelines, and will be updated from time to
time Radio spots were used effectively throughout the year, and will be continued Commission rela-
tions with the media remain excellent
E. Case Review Committee
This committee met monthly acting as a sounding board for the Investigator while providing a
review for situations where the preliminary investigation showed no probable cause
--The necessity of maintaining a pool of lawyers willing to devote time to human rights clients
is ever-present The first Lawyers Institute, attended by 28 individuals, was organized to inform
local attorneys of Human Rights laws and issues Because of its success this will be continued, and
our pool of attorneys trained for this purpose will hopefully expand consistently
F Education Committee Employment Committee
-=Presently working through the Board of Representatives to refine the proposed County Af-
firmative Action Plan
--Reviewed the status of Housing Discrimination and need for bnnging information to the com-
munity on this issue
-1Examined the issues of Pornography and Gay Rights to determine the Commission's level of
involvement
322 Tompkins County, New York
--Continued to evaluate discrimination in employment
--Distributed information through the Human Services Coalition pertaining to the State's
prompt payment reimbursement legislation
--Successfully identified the local Human Rights Office as the location for complaints in the local
newspaper classified job listing disclaimer
Additional Outreach and Educational Efforts
—While maintaining professional membership in the Association of Local Human Rights Com-
missions, the investigator also participated in the regional meetings of the International Association
of Human Rights, and the A LH RC
--The Investigator with two commissioners attended the first State of Human Rights in N Y S
convention held in Albany
The Investigator attended H U D Housing Discrimination Conference in N Y C
--The Commission went on record with Governor Cuomo urging allocation in his budget for ade-
quate funding to local Commissions in fiscal 1985-86 to both continue and expand efficient local case
investigations This item had been removed by him in fiscal 1984-85
--The Commission again co-sponsored the local Martin Luther King week activities A broad
cross-section of the community participated in events honoring Dr King Commissioner Lawrence
Watson will be recognized dunng this celebration in 1985 for his work on behalf of the minonty
community dunng 1984
The Investigator
One full time investigator is employed by the county The emphasis of the position remains that
of being readily accessible to facilitate resolution of human rights 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 frequently require a patient trained listener/counselor to
hear them out and counsel them appropnately

Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 323
A total of 142 inquiries in areas of covered )unsdiction/protected status compares remarkably
close to the 143 closed inquiries of 1983 It would appear that human rights complaints have been
resolved/closed in Tompkins County at approximately the same rate as new incoming inquines
Employment was twice as frequent as any other discnmination jurisdiction Callers were concerned
with conditions of employment, including equal pay for equal work and other work equality issues,
termination and threat of termination as well as hiring procedures By far the largest segment of in-
quiries are due to alleged discrimination in employment against females, followed by discrimination
concerns of those with disabilities, including pregnancy Age inquiries were third with race/color in-
quiries ranking fourth
1984 - 167 Questions
Of 167 recorded questions to the Human Rights office in 1984, the largest number involved
employees with problems of a Non -legal discnminatory nature including
88 - Employment Questions
67 - Employee Contacts -largely concerning "at will" terminations (24) including 2 terminations
for refusal to submit to polygraph tests and 1 "dress code" firing 16 terms conditions, pnvileges
problems -not protected discnmination jurisdictions
21 - Employer Contacts -legal clarification of application inquires, Sexual Harassment, Affirm-
ative Action, clarification of work conditions regarding discrimination protection
16 - Additional Employment Related Questions
12 - disability, workers compensation, pregnancy rights
4 - questionable employment advertisements
15 = housing questions - refusals, disputes, zoning rights, children, mantal status
12 - professional standards/ethics - medical, legal, D S S , mental health
9 - education
4 - credit
3 - police
2 - arrest and conviction
1 - public accommodations
1 - creed
16 - referrals and others
In all, 246 inquiries and questions were employment related It is encouraging that employers are
turning to this office for information to avoid illegal, discriminatory activity Much more needs to
be done to improve employee and employer understanding of and observance of legal and ethical
nghts and procedures
BENEI r1S AND OUTCOMES
Cash Benefits - $6,389 plus- Total, $289 negotiated back wages, 6 days severance pay ap-
proximately 5500 plus - negotiated, 53,600 - conciliation before heanng; 51,750 - court award, $ 250
- court award
Also- rehinng negotiated, -desired training secured, -increased equitablity of overtime assign-
ment, -withdrawal of 'warnings", -application forms changed to omit illegal inquiries, -sexual harass-
ment ceased, -positive reference provided, -demotion/finng prevented ,-improved terms, conditions,
pnvileges in many instances
In Summary, the Commission believes 1984 to have been a very productive year While many
challenges lie ahead for 1985, 1984 must be viewed as a success measured by the issues tackled The
County should indeed feel fortunate to have such a dedicated group of Commissioners (volunteers
all) available to support the outstanding efforts of the Investigator in particular, and the citizenry as
a whole

Several projects have been implemented with this year's program, including the department's
second video tape The latest production cast twelve students from a law related program at BOCES
which included students from Candor, South Seneca, Dryden, and Newfield school distncts The stu-
dents participating from Newfield, Dryden, and Ithaca are last years sixth grade junior deputies On
it's completion, the tape, based on a family court custody heanng, will be shown as part of a lesson

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, Dryden, Groton, and Boynton These schools account for approximately four
hundred students of the seventh and eighth grades who culminate the weeks activities with police of-
ficers, ex -offenders, lawyers, probation officers and a trip to the jail
Seven area youths were fortunate enough to be picked to attend the State Shenffs Summer
Camp at Norwich, New York One hundred Tompkins County Junior Deputies attended a three day

NAVIGATION REPORT
In the Tompkins County portion of Cayuga Lake, there was only one boating accident that
resulted in only minor property damage
The navigation patrol also responded to both Cayuga and Seneca Counties and handled
numerous navigation complaints when their respective patrols were not available
The navigation patrol Inspected one hundred and fifty-two boats for safety equipment and
proper documentation Of these boats inspected, there were eight summonses issued for vanous
violations and twenty-four warnings for minor violations There were also thirty-six boaters assisted
Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 325
for various life and safety reasons
As in the past years, we patrolled the Ithaca Yacht Club's scheduled regattas A total of eleven
were monitored this past summer
State funding this past season was applied for and granted This enabled the navigation patrol
to acquire many needed items of new equipment and replace items that were old, outdated and un-
reliable We feel that the new equipment has enabled the navigation unit to be better prepared to
handle the enforcement of the laws and protect the boaters of our community

LIBRARY
Submitted by Louis Mezgar
Asbestos removal and related construction activities greatly influenced the Library's seances
during 1984 The Library was closed to the public from April 21 to October 25, 1984 During this
period a small temporary library facility was operated at Challenge Industries Store With Tess than
10,000 books (out of a collection of 160,000) available at the temporary location a major drop in cir-
culation and reference questions was anticipated The public, however, braved the hazardous traffic
lack of parking, extreme heat and crowded conditions to use the facility The result was only a 24%
decline in circulation rather than the anticipated 70%
But negative statistics do not reflect the positive (human) accomplishments of the staff and the
strong support of the public The staff had to pack a collection of more than 160,000 books and other
matenals into boxes for removal to storage and to the temporary location Six months later the
whole painful process had to be reversed for the move back Ninety hardworking volunteers helped
us with the demanding and strenuous task.
While some of the staff struggled to provide services at the temporary site, other staff members
worked under "combat" conditions in the downstairs offices at the main building while the asbestos
removal took place on the main floor and mezzanine A fire and repeated water leaks caused several
emergency closings interrupting office operations for several days It became common practice to
carry our "offices' with us since we never knew for sure whether we could use the building the next
day
Even under these trying conditions the staff never lost their sense of humor We looked forward
to the day we would have a safer library with new carpeting and a new roof We made plans to use
the opportunity of moving back into an "empty building" to rearrange the library for more efficient
and convenient use by the public
Using available statistical data and an understanding of past traffic flow problems, we started our
planning Mr Wendell G Earle, Professor Emeritus of Marketing at Cornell University, gave us
valuable advice To execute the plan we needed more shelves and requested help from the Friends
of the Library, who gave $13,000 for shelving and Children's Room furniture The final result is a
library which is as efficient and visually pleasing as the present building will allow
Dunng the past year the director has had to do what "they never teach you at library school"
This included acting like the commander of a sinking but salvageable ship, taking care that nobody
was injured in the heavy moving or by asbestos exposure, avoiding and controlling panic, improvis-
ing, and making split second decisions as a way of life All this plus carrying on the normal everyday
functions of a library director
I would like to thank the staff and volunteers for their most difficult year Due to their support
and dedication the Library survived and is once again healthy
I would also like to thank the Library Board Chairman Edward Lutz and the Executive Commit-
tee for their advice and support often requested on very short notice and at inconvenient times I
wish to thank all the members of the Library through the troubled times when many difficult
decisions had to be made And, of course, thanks to the Friends of the Library for their continued
financial and moral support
I would also like to acknowledge the valuable help received from Frank Liguon, Planning Com-
missioner, Harry Missman, Assistant Planning Commissioner, William Mobbs, Public Works Com-
missioner, and Donn Williams, General Building Supervisor
Asbestos is behind us We can now work to continue improving library services to our public

ANNUAL REPORT 1984
PROBATION
INTRODUCTION
Two significant bills which became effective in late summer dealt with restitution collection and
development of alternatives to incarceration
Resulting from the restitution legislation, the Probation Department was designated the restitu-
tion collection agency for Tompkins County by the Board of Representatives To facilitate this
added responsibility a computer was purchased Coordination between county and state computer
specialists enabled purchase of equipment capable of performing other important functions as well,
using programs provided by the Division of Probation We believe this use of technology will in-
crease further the efficiency of the department as experience with the NYSPIN terminal has shown
since 1983
In our local department a major reorganization and reassignment of staff took place in Novem-
ber, 1984 The change was necessitated by a shift in workload, 1 e an increase in adult criminal cases
and a reduction in juvenile cases Temporary adjustments and long range planning were done over
a one year period, resulting in an orderly transition A more equitable distribution of workload has
been accomplished

PERSONNEL HIGHLIGHTS
As mandated, professional staff participated in numerous training and staff development ses-
sions dunng the year Several persons worked with Consultant L.R. Webster to learn a procedure
for momtonng our own compliance with State Rules We plan to explore this model further in the
near future Director Humphrey attended the National Institute of Corrections Academy in
Boulder, Colorado for one week in Apnl The institute as well as transportation and accommoda-
tions were provided by N I C
During 1984 our work force was supplemented by 18 Interns from Cornell and Ithaca College
Their assistance to probation officers is valuable and well received by the professional staff During
1984 the interns contributed 3393 hours to probation

NEW YORK STATEWIDE POLICE INFORMATION NETWORK (NYSPIN) SYSTEM
COMPUTER TERMINAL
Thenmary use of the terminal continues to be obtaining CHRIs — "Rap Sheets" through
DCJS, NCIC,pand out-of-state criminal history repositories A total of 917 requests for CHRIs were
made in 1984, and the total number of messages sent out (exclusive of DMV and other entnes for
which a log is not maintained) was 1,164 Future years will probably be higher, as the PRS
capabilities are expanded and violation of probation warrants are input on a regular basis
The installation and utilization of the NYSPIN terminal has continued to be a valuable asset to
the overall functioning of the department
URINALYSIS SCREENING
In July of this year, the Board of Representatives funded the department with $3,000 00 so as to
develop, implement, and carry on continuing Urinalysis Screening Program for the remainder of the
year Wntten policies, procedures, and forms were developed and distributed to the involved parties
The Tompkins Community Hospital, upon receipt of urine specimens collected by Probation Of-
ficers, analyzes specimens for indications of Cannabinoid (marijuana) ingestion, andforwards other
specimens to a reference laboratory where they are analyzed for alcohol and/or the existence of com-
monly abused drugs
During the period from July 17, 1984 to December 31, 1984, the following has occurred

category Because some clients were screened for more than one substance, the three categones are
not additive
MANDATED SERVICES
INTAKE
The trend of reduced intake caseloads over the last two years changed in 1984, with a total of
571 cases, an increase of 58 cases from 1983 There were 85 JD, 114 PINS, 104 Family Offense, 59
Support and Paternity, 206 Custody, and 3 Conciliation cases opened during 1984
Over all, 48% of the cases were adjusted outside of court A very low adjustment rate of 30%
for PINS seemed to have effected this total adjustment rate (for example, 71% of JDs were adjusted
out of court) This seems to reflect a greater use of the courts by parents and the schools to resolve
problems of parental supervision and truancy The high adjustment rate for JDs epitomizes the pur-
pose of Intake, which is to resolve problems outside of court, using intensive short-term interven-
tion, while assuring restitution to the victim or community

For the first ten months of the year 1984, Tompkins County Probation Department was divided
Into two major units, one relating to Cnminal Court and the other to Family Court There were four
Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 337
officers working with Family Court and five with Criminal Court However, in November 1984, that
division ceased and all the officers worked with both courts and supervised both juveniles and adults,
thereby effecting a more equal caseload for the officers The change came about because of a 13 9%
rise in supervision in the criminal court unit and a 37% decrease in Family Court supervision cases
Also in 1984 the new Intensive Supervision Program of the Probation Department reached its
maximum caseload of 25 probationers and served to provide better service to clients who would
otherwise be incarcerated and savings to the community in terms of the comparative costs of incar-
ceration versus probation

ment decreased 19 35%, while the number of misdemeanant probationers increased 9 89% from
1983

tion of the sentence)increased 6 06% dunng 1954 The total number ofpersons whose probation

In 1984 the ISP program served approximately 30 persons The guidelines prescribed by the State
are for a caseload maximum of 25 but the average in our county has varied between 17 and 22, thus
allowing time for more field visits and frequent contacts Probationers on ISP/ASP remain in the
program an average of six months and are then transitioned to a regular probation supervision
caseload
PRE-TRIAL DIVERSION PROGRAM
The Pre -Trial Diversion office remains rn its temporary location in the Old Courthouse This
year we began developing standardized Policies and Procedures for the Pre -Trial Diversion Pro-
gram Once completed, these wntten standards will be incorporated into the Departmental Policy
and Procedures Manual A pamphlet explaining the Diversion Program is now available and we have
had positive feedback on this from the courts, attorneys, and other probation departments, as well
as from clients
In 1984, 222 cases were referred to Misdemeanor Diversion Eiteen clients refused the pro-
gram or were found ineligible, and 31 were returned to court to face further prosecution 178 clients
successfully completed their program during 1984 Seventeen new Felony Diversion cases were ac-
cepted in 1984 Dunng the year five cases were successfully terminated and one returned for
prosecution
COMMUNITY SERVICE RESTITUTION PROGRAM
72 cases have been referred for a total of over 4,000 hours to be worked off We presently have
52 open cases with 18 people placed in community agencies doing a vanety of tasks
We hope to contract soon with the City of Ithaca to have an even larger number successfully
working off their C S R. hours
Our success, like any corrective program, has been mixed We have had people offered jobs and
we have had people returned to court for non-compliance and everything in between Overall, I feel
the program, given the small cost of operation, is well worth it We only hope to expand this as we
gain more and more community sites willing to work with us
DRIVING WHILE INTOXICATED PROGRAM
Beginning January 1, 1985, the Probation Department will have a specialized program dealing ex-
clusively with Driving While Intoxicated offenders The duties of the office include the supervision
Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 339
of individuals convicted of a Driving While Intoxicated offense (misdemeanor or felony) and sen-
tenced to probation, and preparation of presentence investigations of individuals convicted of al-
cohol-related dnving offenses
Funding for the new program will be supplied by the Tompkins County STOP -DWI program,
which provides 53.5%, and New York State (465%) The financial support for the STOP -DWI pro-
gram is derived from court fines, within the county, for alcohol-related offenses
Basically, the participants will be under intensive supervision, which will include bar checks, of-
fice appointments, home visits, employment visits, etc

YOUTH BUREAU
1984 ANNUAL REPORT
The Tompkins County Youth Bureau is the county department responsible for the planning,
development and coordination of youth services in Tompkins County The Youth Bureau assists the
County Youth Board in identifying youth needs, setting county -wide pnonties for youth program
development and in recommending how over $250,000 00 in Division for Youth funds can best be
utilized by municipalities and private agencies to meet the recreation and service needs of county
youth 0-20
PLANNING
As planned, 1984 was devoted to doing research on the County's youth population, their
problems and the services used Census and social problem data were gathered and analyzed by the
Human Services Coalition Program and service statistics were compiled and summanzed into a
series of visual displays by the Youth Bureau as part of an in-depth onentation offered to Youth
Board members in February This information will help the Youth Board to revise its three-year
Comprehensive Youth Services Plan in 1985 The Comprehensive Plan contains pnonties that guide
the allocation of Division for Youth funds and recommendations to improve the vanety, efficiency
and quality of youth services throughout the County
Through the Service Coordination Group coordinated by the Youth Bureau, the County Mental
Health Department got much of the data and Input needed for our part of a regional plan to im-
prove mental health services for children and youth
IThe Youth Bureau collaborated with other agencies to devise a survey to assess the child care
needs of parents throughout the County The results will be used by the Youth Board as they set
future pnonties and will also help other public and private funders to determine the kinds of ser-
vices and funding needed
ITo assure that young people effectively participate in making program and policy decisions that
affect them, the Youth Bureau worked with community agencies to develop a Youth Council pro-
gram to be funded in 1985 This systematic approach to soliciting the opinions of youth from across
the'
' County will enable the Youth Board to fulfill a long-time goal
+FUNDING
Twenty-three youth programs served over 11,940 youth using $169,652 in Division for Youth
funds available to Tompkins County in 1984 The County Youth Board, compnsed of municipal rep-
resentatives, recommended that the following agencies receive state aid to address locally identified
youth needs Amencan Red Cross, Brooktondale Community Center, Cooperative Extension, Day
Care & Child Development Council, Family & Children's Service, City of Ithaca, Community Dis-
pute Resolution Center, Learning Web, Offender Aid & Restoration, Planned Parenthood, South -
Side Community Center, Suicide Prevention & Cnsis Service, Task Force for Battered Women and
Ulysses Youth Unlimited The Youth Bureau provided staff support to the Youth Board, prepared
contracts and regularly monitored each funded program to assure that the board, staff and volun-
teers had the support and supervision needed to provide contracted services as planned During
1984 the program review process used by the Youth Board was streamlined and the Youth Bureau
used the Health Department's computer to prepare an allocation history and analysis for the Pro-
gram Review Committee
Local municipalities used $82,809 in Division for Youth funds to serve over 13,582uth in 1984
To enable communities to have at least $3,000 in matching funds from the Division fo Youth, the
Tompkins County Youth Board voted to allow small municipalities to use up to a total of $9,581 of
the County's state aid eligibility In addition, the Towns of Lansing and Enfield requested and
received $2,150 in extra funds to expand local recreation services The Rural Access Program ad-
ministered by the Youth Bureau in 1984 provided $2,100 in 100% funded mini -grants to enable the
communities of Danby, Dryden, Enfield, Lansing and Newfield to transport 1,363 local children to
special youth activities The One -to -One and Teen Parent Programs also received mini -grants total-
ing $350 to serve 149 hard to reach rural youth
For the third year the County offered matching funds of its own to municipalities interested in
participating in the Summer Jobs Program $11,711 in County funds administered by the Youth
Bureau was used to reimburse 11 municipalities who hired 155 youth between the ages of 14 and 19
342 Tompkins County, New York
To assure that the County is taking full advantage of available state aid, the Youth Bureau began
researching the possibility of using Runaway & Homeless Youth funding as an alternative source of
support for several local programs Unused administrative matching funds have begun to be used for
data gathenng and to support the new county -wide Youth Council without increasing county taxes
SERVICES TO MUNICIPALITIES
Application for Division for Youth funds are made by local municipalities through the County
Youth Bureau, therefore, the Youth Bureau routinely provides help with applications and reimbur-
sement forms upon request The Youth Bureau held special training sessions with two municipalities
in 1984
Over the past four years the Youth Board has increased its support to agencies providing out-
reach services to young people through schools and local youth programs in Dryden, Ithaca, Groton,
Lansing, Newfield and Trumansburg Through the Rural Access Program all rural schools received
free TomTran bus tickets to enable students to participate in youth programs and county services
141 students made multiple tnps to agencies and programs
One highlight of 1984 was the start up of a youth program in Groton The Youth Bureau had
been working with a concerned group of citizens for several years and in 1984 they organized a youth
commission, conducted a needs assessment, pooled local and state funds and contracted for a part-
time youth worker
Assistance has been provided to Town of Ulysses, Village of Trumansburg regarding local youth
commission and joint programs, Trumansburg Middle School PTA regarding after school programs,
Town of Dryden regardingcontractor with Campfire for Self -Reliance Program, Village of Dryden
regarding operation of Officer Fnen Program, Town of Caroline regarding funding available for
youth employment, Towns of Enfield, ewfield and Danby regarding role of youth commission and
onentation of new recreation director, City of Ithaca regarding expediting a $25,000 increase in state
aid and coordination of youth programs for downtown youth, Newfield, Trumansburg, Groton and
Dryden school districts regarding TomTran tickets and schedules
ADVOCACY AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
When the Youth Board is not able to provide funding to address all of its pnonties, the Youth
Bureau will often work with other community agencies to enable them to provide needed services
The Youth Bureau also helps non-DFY funded agencies to plan programs and find funds In 1984,
the Youth Bureau successfully advocated with TomTran to have bus routes and schedules changed
to meet the transportation needs of teenagers As a result of Youth Board efforts, the Tompkins
County Board of Representatives created a seat on the local Job Training Advisory Council to rep-
resent the interests of youth By providing needed data, the Youth Bureau helped the County Men-
tal Health Department to describe services needed to improve mental health programs for children
and youth Group Homes of Tompkins County has expanded its independent Irving skills training
program partly as a result of the advocacy and support provided by the Adolescent Housing Com-
mittee convened by the Youth Bureau
The Youth Bureau helped the Task Force for Battered Women to explore alternative sources
of state and local funding to enable it to continue its Child Sexual Abuse Program The department
assisted the Day Care Council in its efforts to help several communities apply for state funds to start
after school child care programs As a result, one program was successful in obtaining funds despite
heavy statewide competition The Brooktondale Community Center received intensive technical as-
sistance in the fall to help them to rebuild and stabilize a part-time teen program As a result, a new
program plan has been developed and a strong committee compnsed of community members has
been formed to oversee the program
A training survey was developed and circulated to youth workers As a result, a committee of
youth workers, assisted by the County Youth Bureau and Cooperative Extension will plan a senes
of workshops in 1985 drawing largely on local resources
A workshop was held for contract agencies to learn how to complete DFY claims and improve
their budgeting techniques As a result fewer mistakes have been made on claims in 1984
Proceedings of the Board of Representatives 343
COORDINATION
To assure that all of Tompkins County's diverse agencies provide unduplicated, efficient and ef-
fective youth services, the Youth Bureau conducted the following activities m 1984 A brochure
describing available youth services was punted and distributed to schools and agencies A directory
of Summer Programs was prepared for use by parents, schools, municipalities and agencies
The Youth Bureau enables staff working in similar programs to exchange information and
develop plans for working together The Youth Employment Council met penodically through 1984
and enabled several summer job programs to coordinate their recruitment and placement activities
The Services Coordination Group is comprised of agencies who deal with court -related youth They
helped the Ithaca Youth Bureau to plan its parent training program, encouraged the Department
of Social Services to include younger youth in Family & Children's intensive supervision programs,
advised Mental Health on needed services and agreed to provide data for the Youth Bureau on the
out -of -home placement situation in the County The Teen Network allows rural and urbanuth
workers to meet together, get support and plan joint activities In 1984 they assisted the Ithaca
Youth Bureau in planning the Youth Council program and fostered inter -group activity and
cooperation The Adolescent Housing Committee has helped to improve the quantity and quality of
training available to teenagers who are living independently or about to make that transition
1 The Case Management Team is a unique service in Tompkins County made possible through the
cooperation of nine agencies and the coordination of the County Youth Bureau Schools and agen-
cies working with multi -problem youth and several programs can coordinate the planning and
delivery of services through the ram Management Team The Team expenenced an increase in
referrals during 1984 More schools and agencies are finding the Team to be a valuable resource
In addition to facilitating the youth worker training series, to ensure that staff working with dif-
ficult youth have the supervision they need to be as effective as possible, the Youth Bureau has ar-
ranged for Family & Children's Service to provide group consultation on counseling and program
development at no extra cost for six staff from four programs and for a psychologist from Elmira
Psychiatnc Center to provide bi-weekly consultation to an additional five youth workers
YOUTH BOARD AND ADMINISTRATION_
During 1984 the Youth Board gained several new active members and the Youth Bureau lost
and gained a youth services specialist The Youth Bureau expedited the handling of DFY related
paperwork largely due to the skill and efforts of Sandy Small 1985 promises to be an exciting year
as young people become actively involved with a wide range of community members in the shaping
of our pnonties for the next three years The high quality of day to day work done with children and
youth that distinguishes Tompkins County is due to dedicated efforts of staff and volunteers The
or -going support of the County Youth Board and Board of Representatives helps us to enable them
to do the best possible job to nurture and guide our most valuable resource - children
