of the Tompkins County League of Women Voters, presented a resolution adopted by
the League of Women Voters which requests that the Board of Representatives
rescind the action to move the Department of Social Services to the Biggs Center.
Under privilege of the floor, Dan Kramer, 601 Willow Avenue, Ithaca, pre-
sented to the Board petitions signed by professionals in human service agencies
opposing the move of the Department of Social Services to the Biggs Center, and
he clarified that the signatures do riot represent an official statement by the
various agencies but are the thoughts of the individual employees within these
agencies. He expressed concern about the comparative cost estimates of moving
the Department of Social Services to the Biggs Center and to City Hall, and he
requested that the decision Lo move the Department of Social Services to the
Biggs Center be reconsidered.
Under privilege of the floor, Steve Ballan, 201 Parkway, Groton, presented
petitions to the Board which request that the Department of Social Services
remain in downtown Ithaca and that the vote to move that department to the Biggs
Center be rescinded.
Under privilege of the floor, Michael Loehr of Crest Lane, Ithaca,. asked
about the procedure to affect a referendum on this issue (the location of the
Department of Social Services). Mr. Williamson stated that the resolution to
relocate the Department of Social Services is not subject to referendum.
Mr. Loehr requested that an advisory referendum be affected by motion of the
Board of Representatives, and Chairman Call said this request will be taken
under advisement.
Under privilege of the floor, Marnie Kirchgessner of 191 Enfield Road said
she feels that many citizens of Tompkins County are concerned about the decision
to relocate the Department of Social Services to the Biggs Center, and they would
like explanations of the information presented concerning this move.
Under privilege of the floor, Rubin Weiner, a physician in the County,
thanked the Board for their decision to move the Department of Social Services
to the Biggs Center, and he urged the Board to foster the expeditious develop-
ment of a Route 96 overpass.
Under privilege of the floor, Mary Ann Burgess Euhulka of 505 South Albany
Street, Ithaca, said there are many hidden costs in renovating which she feels
will increase the cost of moving the Department of Social Services to the Biggs
Center.
48
March 4, 1986
Under privilege of the floor, Vernon Gambrell of 357 Snyder Hill Road thanked
the Board for considering the best interests of the taxpayers in deciding to move
the Department of Social Services to the Biggs Center, and he said that this County
has several agencies and an excellent transportation system that will provide trans-
portation to this site.
Under privilege of the floor, Jim Hennerty of 214 Prospect Street, Ithaca,
said he has concerns about the condition of the old hospital, specifically the
amount of asbestos in this building. He urged the Board to communicate to the.
public any information available concerning the safety of this building or to
take immediate action to obtain this information.
Under privilege of the floor, Jeanne Fudala of 615 North Aurora Street,
Ithaca, said she has worked on the petition drive to keep the Department of
Social Services in a downtown location, and she said there has been a great
deal of community concern expressed about this issue.
Under privilege of the floor, Richard Paul Edelman of 216 Esty Street, Ithaca,
a former employee of the Department of Social Services, said the cost of trans-
portation to and from the Biggs Center to a person on a welfare budget is tremen-
dous, and he feels that the financial savings to the County of moving the Depart-
ment of Social Services to the Biggs Center will be paid in terms of human sacri-
fice.
Chairman Call noted that in the last several weeks, a bipartisan committee
of City and County staff and elected officials has been obtaining information
concerning the use of City Hall and the Biggs Center as a location for the Depart-
ment of Social Services. She said the information has been available to the media
and the public, and Mr. Heyman explained some of the figures and information
available at this time.
Mr. Mobbs said that although no tests have been performed, the Public Works
Department suspects that some of the material used as insulation in the mechanical
areas of the old hospital contains asbestos. He said that the following alterna-
tives are available: management, encasement, encapsulation, and removal. Mr. Mcis
said that his understanding is that removal of the asbestos is not required in this
situation.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Stein said that at the last meeting he
opposed Resolution No. 59 - Authorization to Execute Contract - Risk Management.
He said he reconsidered his vote after the meeting and feels he should have
supported the resolution.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Tillapaugh referred to a letter printed in
The Ithaca Journal concerning the cost of constructing an airport terminal as
proposed in the Airport Improvement Plan. He said that no money will be appropri-
ated unless the plan is approved, and he noted that the majority of the funds that
would be used to construct the terminal would not be from direct tax dollars.
Mr. Tillapaugh explained that the federal money and a large portion of the state
money that would be appropriated for this project would be derived from user fees,
and a portion of the local share would be derived from revenues of the airport
operation.

WHEREAS, said landfill site is the only remaining site available to the
people of Tompkins County for the disposal of ordinary solid waste, through a
51
March 4, 1986
long standing contractual arrangement between the County and Landstrom Gravel
Company, and
WHEREAS, the County of Tompkins has and is actively pursuing alternative
landfill sites within Tompkins County and is continuing to study a variety of
options for solid waste reduction, including resource recovery methods and
the baling of solid wastes, and

drinking water supplies in the area at this time, and the surface waters
leaving the site show no clear evidence of significant impacts on water
quality, and
WHEREAS, an evaluation by the County staff of the reasonable time frame
required to complete the necessary process of establishing a new landfill
site(s) in the County (and resource recovery or reduction methods) and the
associated engineering and Environmental Impact Studies, public
participation, review and approvals by the New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation and the local decision making process, all suggest
that three years will be necessary to complete the process to full
implementation of alternative arrangements, and
WHEREAS, the County will continue to participate with Landstrom on the
design of a suitable "Closure'Plan" as may be required by the New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation, and
WHEREAS, it is the expressed desire of the County to provide for its
long-range needs for solid waste disposal in an environmentally sound manner
within the confines of the County without resorting to the exporting of solid
waste to another County as an ad hoc arrangement, and at the same time
continue to explore solutions which include joint intermunicipal options
which will provide for a long-range feasible solution, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Special Solid Waste Committee and the
Public Works Committee, That the Board of Representatives of the County of
Tompkins does hereby request the New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation to permit the County at least three years prior to the closing

manner without the duress of an inadequate time frame which may well result
in inappropriate hasty decisions as experienced by many municipalities in the
past,
RESOLVED, further, That this Board pledges to keep the New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation informed as to progress along the
52
March 4, 1986

and responsibilities as Director of Weights and Measures.
Under privilege of the floor, Marnie Kirchgessner of 191 Enfield Main Road
said that the funds to make the space at the Biggs Center operative are not re-
imbursable and will have to come from the General Fund Balance, which she feels
should be factored into the cost of moving offices. In addition, she said that
before property taxes are increased, the current budget should be carefully
studied to determine whether there are any funds budgeted that could be used
for this project.
Under privilege of the floor, Steve Ballan of 201 North Parkway, Groton,
read a statement of the Tompkins County Unit of CSEA Local 855 stating their

President of the Tompkins County Chapter of the National Organization for Women,
said she supports every effort to reverse the decision of the County Board to
move the Department of Social Services to the Old Hospital. She said their
organization's most important goal is economic equality for women, which she
said will be harder to achieve if access to human services is made more difficult.
Under privilege of the floor, Michelle Swansbrough presented additional
petitions to the Board which request that the Department of Social Services
remain in downtown Ithaca and that the vote to move that department to the Biggs
Center be rescinded.
Under privilege of the floor, David Lynch said he feels that moving the
Department of Social Services to the Biggs Complex will create extreme difficulty
for those individuals who need the services but are physically unable to ride a
bus. He feels that the additional travel for clients and staff will create a
necessity to purchase more County cars, which he believes should be included in
the cost estimate for this project.
Under privilege of the floor, Shirley Kane of 305 Winthrop Drive, an employee
of the Department of Social Services, said she has some concerns about the asbestos
at the Biggs Center, and she urged the Board to have the facility inspected and
certified to answer some of the concerns that have been expressed.

ment Agency will be available shortly, and she said she would like to hold an

trial Development Agency (see page 6). Chairman Call said the County has been

ation, which the committee hopes to review and discuss at its next meeting.
Mr. Mason, Chairman of the Public Safety and Corrections Committee, informed
the Board that there is currently a bill in the state legislature which addresses
the issue of reimbursement from individuals who received assigned counsel. He
also informed the Board that the Fire Investigation Team has only four of ten
members serving, and the problem seems to be that these volunteers are asked to
donate many hours for investigating, testifying, and training in addition to their
full time employment. He said there will be more discussion of this problem by
the Fire and Disaster Advisory Board.
Mr. Mason, Chairman of the. Public Safety Building Construction Committee, said
work on this project is progressing on schedule with no major deviation from original
plans.
Mr. Tillapaugh, a member of the Health Committee, reported on the Personal
Emergency Response System and said that their advisory committee has been very .

to the main courtroom for privilege of the floor and discussion af the move of the
Department of Social Services to the Biggs Center.
Chairman Call noted the fire exits from the main -courtroom.
Under privilege of the floor, David Lynch, 218 Linn Street, Ithaca, said
he feels that the majority of recipients of social services live in the downtown
area and will have problems accessing transportation to the Biggs Center. He
urged the Board to keep the Department of Social Services in downtown Ithaca.
Under privilege of the floor, Sara Rienzic, 416 West Buffalo Street, urged
the Board not to move the Department of Social Services to the Biggs Center.
She said this move would create an inconvenience and hardship on'clients, such as
young mothers with children; and she suggested parental training for young parents
or living quarters for the homeless as altervative uses for the Biggs Center.
Under privilege of the floor, Katie Noonan, former Director of the Task Force
for Battered Women, urged the Board to reconsider their vote to move the Depart-
ment of Social Services to the Biggs Center. She feels that the move would pre-
vent people who live in violent homes from seeking help at the Department of
Social Services because of a lack of transportation and accessibility, and would,
therefore, increase the number of people living in violent homes.
Under privilege of the floor, Dierdre Silverman of Danby, Director of the
Red Cross Emergency Shelter, said she feels that moving the Department of Social
Services to the Biggs Center will create many traffic and safety problems for
people who live and travel in that area. In addition, she believes there will
be many administrative changes and unanticipated costs in order to deliver the
services at the Biggs Center.
Under privilege of the floor, Paul Fairbanks of the City of Ithaca urged the
Board to change the vote to move the Department of Social Services to the Biggs
Center. He feels that this move is part of a long-range plan to develop the west
side of Cayuga Lake and to force improvement to Route 96.
Under privilege of the floor, Reverend R. D. McClain of Byers Street, Ithaca,
urged the Board to keep the Department of Social Services in downtown Ithaca. He
said the economic costs, such as loss of businesses and working people from down-
town Ithaca and transportation of clients to West Hill, should be considered.
Under privilege of the floor, Mary Ann Burgess Puhulka, 505 South Albany
Street, Ithaca, presented a map to the Board which shows the location of various
79
April 15, 1986
human service agencies in downtown Ithaca in comparison to the present location
of the Department of Social Services and the Biggs Center.
Under privilege of the floor, Jill Vuckovic, Landmark Square, Wood Street,
Ithaca, expressed her objection to moving the Department of Social Services to
the Biggs Center.
Under privilege of the floor, Nancy Bariano, former Director of Store Front,
said recipients of social services must contend with the economic disabilities
which require them to receive public assistance, and she feels that moving the
Department of Social Services to the Biggs Center will make their lives less
tolerable.
Under privilege of the floor, Ngozi Cole, North Tioga Street, Ithaca, urged
the Board to keep the Department of Social Services in downtown Ithaca. She
feels that transportation to the Biggs Center will be very difficult for people
and may result in a loss of public assistance for some.
Under privilege of the floor, Jane Shallish of DuBois Road, Ithaca, said she
is a single mother on public assistance. She feels that the decision to move the
Department of Social Services to the Biggs Center does not consider the human
element, such as the stress and pain inflicted on families who fear losing their
assistance because they do not have transportation to get to their appointments.

ment of Social Services) in order to obtain more information.

wished to change his or her vote on the move of the Department of Social Services

one year after it has been voted on by the Board,
Mr. Williamson, County Attorney, said that Roberts Rules of Order state that
a resolution may be withdrawn by the mover without consent of the Chairman or the
Board.

May 6, 1986

Present: 15 Representatives.
It was Moved by Mr. Proto, seconded by Mr. Winch, that the meeting be
adjourned to the Courtroom for the purpose of privilege of the floor and presen-
tation of the three resolutions on the agenda dealing with the location of the
Department of Social Services. Motion unanimously adopted by voice vote.
Chairman Call noted the fire exits in the Courtroom.
Under privilege of the floor, David Lynch said he feels that the majority
of public assistance recipients live in downtown Ithaca, and that is where he
feels the Department of Social Services should be located.
Under privilege of the floor, Donald Tuson, 209 Giles Street, Ithaca, said
he feels that the transportation costs and difficulty in getting to the Depart-
ment of Social Services if it is moved to the Biggs Center will create an addi-
tional hardship on people who are already in a difficult situation.
Under privilege of the floor, Gwen Walney, 2271 Mecklenburg Road, said
she does not use the services of the Department of Social Services, but she
feels that this department should be located in an easily accessible location.
She urged the Board to keep the Department of Social Services in downtown Ithaca.
Under privilege of the floor, Andrew VanOrder, 132 Covered Bridge Apartments,
said he feels that the money that would be spent to move the Department of Social
Services to the Biggs Center should instead be spent on improvements to community
support services.
Under privilege of the floor, Dooley Kiefer, 629 Highland Road, spoke on
behalf of the Tompkins County League of Women Voters and said they feel that
the Board did not comply with the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQR)
when deciding to move certain County offices out of the county seat. She informed
the Board that the Tompkins County League of Women Voters is prepared to go
court to seek compliance with this law.
Under privilege of the floor, Jill Vuckovic, 414 Wood Street, referred
to the move of the Department of Social Services to the Biggs Center and said
she does not feel that the same principles that would be applied to a business
decision should be applied to a decision affecting human lives.
Under privilege of the floor, Joanna Smith, 100 West Seneca Street, said
she does not feel that moving the Department of Social Services to the Biggs
Canter is a good decision because the majority of other community service organi-
zations are located in downtown Ithaca, and many people have limited transportation.
99
May 6, 1986
Under privilege of the floor, Joan Farbman, 2663 Slaterville Road, spoke
on behalf of the Tompkins County Task Force for Battered Women and their clients.
She said their major concerns are transportation and networking of services
if the Department of Social Services is moved to the Biggs Center, since the
majority of human services are located in the downtown area and many people
use more than one service.
Under privilege of the floor, John Millich, 2208 Mecklenburg Road, said
he feels that moving the Department of Social Services out of the central city
is unconscionable and unprecedented based on his travel throughout the continental
United States.
Under privilege of the floor, David Price, 811 Mitchell Street, referred
to the move of the Department of Social Services to the Biggs Center and said
he is a taxpayer who feels that human services should be in the center of the
population even at the expense of higher taxes.
Under privilege of the floor, David Post, 423 North Geneva Street, said
he is not a client of the Department of Social Services, but he feels that the
savings derived from moving that department to the Biggs Center will be from
discouraging people from utilizing the services, not in operations. He feels
that the human costs of moving the Department of Social Services to the Biggs
Center will be more costly to the County in the long run.
Under privilege of the floor, Marnie Kirchgessner, 191 Enfield Main Road,
said she feels there are many unanswered questions concerning the move ofthe.
Department of Social Services to the Biggs Center, and she feels that the finan-
cial
savings of the move will be paid in human costs to the clients and their
families.
Under privilege of the floor, Shelley Glick, 110 Osmun Place, Chairperson
of the Southeast Asian Refugee Committee of Ithaca, described the difficulties
of refugees and feels that moving the Department of Social Services to the Biggs
Center creates an additional hardship on the people brought to this community.
Under privilege of the floor, Allan Futterman, 110 Osmun Place, said he
teaches refugees, many of whom are clients in the social services network.
He said many of these people are opposed to the decision to move the Department
of Social Services to the Biggs Center, but they lack the skills to address
the Board; and he feels that the majority of the refugees in this community
will not be able to understand the transportation system well enough to get
to the Biggs Center.
Under privilege of the floor, Benjamin Kahn, 111 Blackstone Avenue, said
he is a student at Ithaca High School who is concerned about the effect the
move of the Department of Social Services to the Biggs Center will have on the
community, and he feels that the details and figures showing the cost savings
of the move have not been readily available to the public.
100
May 6, 1986
Under privilege of the floor, Mary Ann Burgess Puhulka, 505 South Albany
Street, urged the Board to delay action to move the Department of Social Services
for two months to give the public an opportunity to review all documents and
figures.
Under privilege of the floor, Steve Ballan, 201 North Parkway, Groton,
read a portion of Executive Order 66 dealing with the location of State facilities
and Social Services Regulation 300.9 dealing with the location of social services
offices, both of which he feels indicate that the Department of Social Services
should be located in the downtown area.
Under privilege of the floor, Merrill Shipherd of Etna said that if the
Department of Social Services is moved to the Biggs Center, it is everyone's
responsibility to work together to minimize hardships.
Under privilege of the floor, Jeanne Fudala, 615 North Aurora Street, pre-
sented additional petitions to the Board which request that the Department of
Social Services remain in downtown Ithaca and that the vote to move that depart-
ment to the Biggs Center be rescinded.
Under privilege of the floor, Dan Little, 1315 Hanshaw Road, Pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church, said the human services network functions as
a cooperative effort, and he feels that the placement of the Department of Social
Services is a vital part of that network. He urged the Board to keep the Depart-
ment of Social Services in downtown Ithaca.
Under privilege of the floor, Doreen Mine, 385 Lansing Station Road, said
she does not support the move of the Department of Social Services because the
present location is functioning, and she feels that moving that department
to the Biggs Center will create additional hardships on the clients.
Under privilege of the floor, Ngozi Cole, 516 North Aurora Street, urged
the Board to reconsider the decision to move the Department of Social Services
to the Biggs Center, which she feels is unnecessary and an injustice to the
people who need these services.
Under privilege of the floor, Roger Carter, 306 South Plain Street, said
he feels that the additional frustration to clients caused by moving the services
of the Department of Social Services to the Biggs Center will bring Tompkins
County closer to having armed guards at that department.
Under privilege of the floor, Mark, 230 Pleasant Street, said he feels
that he and all other welfare recipients need these services, and he urged the
Board to keep the Department of Social Services in downtown Ithaca.
Under privilege of the floor, Dierdre Silverman, Travor Road, Danby, said
she participated in an exercise to get to the Biggs Center using public trans-
portation, and she feels that the decision to move the Department of Social
Services to the Biggs Center will make services inconvenient and more aifficult
to obtain.
101
May 6, 1986
Under privilege of the floor, David Zwiebel, a Tompkins County resident
and business owner, said he feels that by moving the Department of Social Services
to the Biggs Center, the Board is being insensitive to the needs of the people
of the County who use or work in that department.
Under privilege of the floor, Olera Carter, 306 South Plain Street, said
she feels that moving the Department of Social Services to the Biggs Center
will result in the closing of many cases because some recipients are not capable
of using public transportation to get to appointments.
Under privilege of the floor, Michael Loehr, 124 Crest Lane, asked for
three minutes of silence to allow everyone to think about what is before them.
Under privilege of the floor, Vernon Gambrell, 357 Snyder Hill Road, Dryden,
said he feels that the County has made in-depth studies, considered all factors,
and made the right decision in moving the Department of Social Services to the
Biggs Center.
Under privilege of the floor, Mrs. Livesay said she feels that there are
many unanswered questions concerning the move of the Department of. Social Services
to the Biggs Center because there have not been enough studies to provide the
information.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Winch said he is confident in his decision
to support the move of the Department of Social Services to the Biggs Center
and feels that his vote represents a majority of his constituents. He feels
that the staff of the Department of Social Services can continue to provide
excellent services in that location, and he urged everyone to work together
for the good of Tompkins County.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Lifton commented on some public policy
position statements made regarding the move of the Department of Social
Services to the Biggs Center. He said he disagrees with the suggestion to link
this move with the future of Route 96, and he disagrees that some of the petitions
submitted to the Board opposing this move are invalid. Mr. Lifton said he does
not believe that all constituencies are being properly represented by the votes
to move the Department of Social Services to the Biggs Center.
RESOLUTION NO. 123 - RESCISSION OF RESOLUTION NO. 14 OF FEBRUARY 18, 1986 -
CONSIDERATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 378 OF 1985 - AUTHORIZATION
TO TERMINATE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES LEASE WITH CITY
OF ITHACA AND RELOCATE OFFICE OF DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES
Moved by Mrs. Livesay, seconded by Mrs. Dietrich.
Mr. Williamson, County Attorney, said that his opinion is that this resolu-
tion, the other resolution on the agenda with the same title, and the resolution
entitled Authorizing Development of Plan for Utilization of City Hall - Department
of Social Services are improper and out of order. He referred to the Rules
of the Board and said that as a result of the Board's vote to move the Department
of Social Services to the Biggs Center, $11,000 has been expended by the County
102
May 6, 1986
to date for renovations and clean-up, and 80 percent of the work to install
a telephone system for the Department of Social Services- at the Biggs Center
has been completed (approximately $69,000) in accordance with the County's con-
tract frith All -Mode Communications. Because of these expenditures of County
money, Mr. Williamson feels these resolutions are improper and out of order.
Chairman Call said she understands Mr. Williamson's ruling from the legal
and monetary standpoints, however, she overruled the County Attorney and said
she will allow action on these resolutions because of the strong community involve-
ment in this issue.
Mr. Watros asked that the record show that he concurs with the County
Attorney's opinion on this issue, but he would like these resolutions to be
brought before the Board to satisfy the concerns and interests expressed on
this matter.
Mrs. Livesay said she disagrees with the County Attorney's opinion on this
matter.

tives Stein, Culligan, Dietrich, Lifton, Livesay, Nichols, Call). Noes: 8
(Representatives Proto, Shurtleff,Tillapaugh, True, Watros, Winch, Howell,

WHEREAS, Resolution No. 14 of 1986 declared this Board's intention to move
the Department of Social Services to the Old Hospital Building and asked the

ations, and
WHEREAS, there are many questions being raised by the community concerning
accessibility to clients, presence of asbestos, code compliances and the total
costs of locating the Department of Social Services in the Biggs Center that
have not been answered, and
WHEREAS, no plan for allocation and best use of space at the Biggs Center
has been approved by this Board, and
WHEREAS, much of the information necessary for such a determination has
not been updated recently nor made available to all Board members, now therefore
be it
RESOVLED, That Resolution No. 14 of 1986 - Consideration of Resolution
No. 378 of 1986 - Authorization to Terminate Department of Social Services Lease

WHEREAS, the County Board of Representatives has considered moving the
offices of the Department of Social Services (DSS) and other county agencies
from the City of Ithaca to the Biggs Complex, and
WHEREAS, the use of the Biggs Complex also contemplates partial occupancy
by private activities, and
WHEREAS, 6 NYCRR Part 617 (hereafter referred to as Part 617) establishes
the statewide regulations for compliance by local governments with the State
Environmental Quality Review Act (Article 8 NYS Environmental Conservation
Law, hereafter referred to as SEQR), and
WHEREAS, the basic purpose of SEQR is to incorporate the consideration of
environmental factors into the decision processes of government at the
earliest possible time (see section 617.1, Part 617), and
WHEREAS, it was the intention of the N.Y.S. Legislature in passing SEQR
that the protection and enhancement of the environment and human and community
resources should be given appropriate weight with social and economic
consideration in public policy decisions, (see section 617.1, Part 617), and
WHEREAS, it is the intention of Part 617 that a suitable balance of
social, economic and environmental factors be incorporated in planning and
decision-making processes of local governments (see section 617.1, Part 617),
and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Part 617, the term "Environment" means the physical
conditions which will be affected by a proposed action including land, air,
water, minerals, flora, fauna, noise, objects of historic or aesthetic
significance, existing patterns of population concentration, distribution or
growth, and existing community or neighborhood character, and
WHEREAS, the movement of County offices to the Biggs Complex is an
Unlisted Action under Part 617 and therefore subject to those regulations, and
WHEREAS, no agency involved in an action covered by Part 617 shall carry
out, fund or approve that action until the requirements of those regulations
are satisfied, and
WHEREAS, section 617.1 or Part 617 sets forth the requirements governing
the treatment of Unlisted Actions under SEQR, and
WHEREAS, for actions covered by Part 617, agencies are responsible for
making every reasonable effort to involve other governmental agencies and the
public in the SEQR process (see section 617.3, Part 617), and
WHEREAS, SEQR requires that an agency determine as early as possible in
its decision-making process regarding a particular action whether that action
is subject to SEQR (see sections 617.5 and 617.7, Part 617), and
WHEREAS, it appears likely that movement of major county offices to the
Biggs Complex may significantly change the intensity of land uses west and
north of Ithaca, and
WHEREAS, movement of such offices to the Biggs Complex is likely to
induce significant development by the private sector and other governmental
entities near that Complex, and
129
May 27, 1986
WHEREAS, the County Office Space Study (October 1985) identified a number
of potentially significant environmental impacts if the Department of Social
Services were moved to the Biggs Complex, and
WHEREAS, movement of major county offices to the Biggs Complex is likely
to have significant impacts, among others, on the City of Ithaca, DSS clients
and staff, increased transportation needs, and the use of the Biggs Complex,
and
WHEREAS, these issues raise the potential for a significant impact on the
environment, and
WHEREAS, significant public controversy has surrounded the move of such
offices and the use of said buildings for such purposes, and
WHEREAS, the County Board of Representatives has not fulfilled the
requirements of SEQR respecting moving county offices to the Biggs Complex,
and
WHEREAS, the County Board is the agency that is responsible for SEQR in
this case and has not delegated that authority to any staff member, and
WHEREAS, in light of all of the above, it is appropriate for the county
to prepare a "Long Environmental Assessment Form" pursuant to Part 617 and to
consider the information on that form prior to taking any further steps
respecting the move of county offices to the Biggs Complex, now therefore be
it
RESOLVED, That the Board hereby directs the Planning Director to prepare
the "Long Environmental Assessment Form" pursuant to Part 617 and submit it to
the Board, through the Planning and Development Committee, for the Board's
review and action,
RESOLVED, further, That no additional steps shall be taken to move County
offices to the Biggs Complex until such review has been completed and any
further requirements of SEQR have been satisfied.

RESOLUTION NO. 336 - ADOPTION OF GUIDELINES FOR LEASING AND MANAGEMENT OF BIGGS
COMPLEX
Moved by Mr. Stein, seconded by Mrs. Howell, and unanimously adopted by
voice vote.
WHEREAS, the Biggs Complex has opened for occupancy for County offices
and nonprofit and private business sectors, and
WHEREAS, there is need to clarify the goals of the County in its utilization
of this space and the procedures required in doing so, now therefore .be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Planning and Development Committee,
That the attached .guidelines, Biggs Complex: Leasing and Management Policies
be and hereby are adopted.
BIGGS COMPLEX: LEASING AND MANAGEMENT POLICIES
The following policies shall serve as a guide to county board members, county professional staff
members, interested parties in the non-profit and private business sectors and the public in making
decisions about the allocation of space in the Biggs Complex and the various related factors pertaining
to lease and management arrangements. The purpose of this document is to clarify the goals of the
county in its utilization of this space and the procedures it will use in doing so. It is expected that
adoption of these policies will clarify.expectaiions for all parties in a negotiation and thereby simplify
the processes of selection and negotiation for use of available space:
I. Goals
Any use of the space shall further one or more of the following goals (not in priority order):
A. Development of the economy of the county with emphasis on the creation of new jobs or
the retention of existing jobs. Priority should be given to activities which contribute to the
improvement in the quality and diversity of skills in the county labor force. Preference also
shall be given to local firms with local ownership and a demonstrated strong commitment to
Tompkins County.
B. Strengthening of the real property tax base, thereby increasing local property tax income.
C. Improvement of the delivery of services to clients of public or non-profit agencies
responsible for recognized social, cultural and other programs.
D. Improvement of the efficiency of county governmental operations.
II. Mix of Tenants
The county shall strive for a mixture of public, private not-for-profit and private enterprise tenants.
No set percentage shall be set for this, but a target should be approximately 2/3 public and
non-profit organizations and 1/3 private enterprises. (Depending upon demand from the private
sector, this figure may change either way. An increase in the ratio of private occupancy will
increase income for the county.) Until such time as alternate space is available to meet county
space needs, priority consideration may be given to county agencies.
254
October 21, 1986
III. Rental Levels
A three -tiered rental rate system should be established to respond to public needs and market
forces. This should be as follows:
A. Governmental agencies which receive state or federal subsidy for space should pay a rental
rate equal to actual current costs for operations plus depreciation where reimbursement is
available.
B. Non-profit agencies should pay rental rates equal to actual costs for operations and any
amortization of improvements plus a nominal amount for depreciation of the building.
C. Private tenants shall pay a rental equal to the current market rate for equivalent space in
Tompkins County. This means specifically that the rate shall not be subsidized by county
government.
1V. Selection and Compatibility of Uses
All occupants shall meet the following requirements and preferences:
A. Internal Relationships
1. All uses shall' conform to the requirements of the zoning ordinance of the town of
Ithaca.
2. Preference shall be given to organizations that will improve their service to clients and
customers, and internal efficiency by being at the same location as other organizations
currently occupying the buildings.
3. No useshall be allowed that is potentially hazardous to health and safety of any
occupants.
4. No use shall be allowed that will create noise, vibrations, or other effects that will be
disturbing to other tenants.
5. No use shall be allowed that would place excessive demands on the utility systems
serving the complex or on the structural integrity of the building and its internal spaces.
6. Sections of Building A which require extraordinary costs to make them available for •
rental shall not be utilized, except for storage, unless the organization leasing the space will
provide a return to the county adequate to cover such rehabilitation costs.
B. External Relationships
1. No use shall be permitted that has significant negative impacts on the residential areas
immediately adjacent to the Biggs Complex.
2.The impact of uses on the financial condition of the Tompkins Community Hospital shall
be considered.
255
October 21, 1986
V. Flexibility
To assure flexibility in decision-making about future use and/or disposition of the Biggs Complex,
the following policies shall govem decisions about occupancy:
A. Leases shall be short-term, no more than 5 years, but preferably 2 or 3 years. Lease terms
should include clauses for early termination of leases by the county under specified
conditions, and with penalties, if appropriate.
B. When possible, a goal of reserve space in Biggs Building A shall be set aside for
expansion of existing tenants with preference for use of this space given to existing private
tenants of the complex.
C. Wherever possible, joint use of public spaces should be encouraged by the entire range of.
tenants. These spaces include meeting rooms, lounges, reception areas and similar spaces.
VL Level of Improvements
County investment in the building shall be limited to actions which will bring it into conformance
with all fire and safety regulations and which will make the space functional for the purpose for
which the space is to be used. Any additional improvements shall be made only with permission
of the county administrator: The cost of such improvements shall be paid by the tenant unless
otherwise agreed.
VII. Payment of Real Property Taxes
For all private rentals,the county shall pay an amount in lieu of taxes to all local taxing bodies
equivalent to the amount that would be paid for that portion of the building if the building were
fully taxable. These payments shall be included in the rent.
VIII. Services to be Provided
The county will provide basic janitorial services only for county -supported agencies. Other
organizations renting space shall pay for their own janitorial services unless arranged otherwise in
the rental agreement. Maintenance services for the entire building and grounds will be provided
by the county. The cost of utilities for all tenants shall be paid by the county, but shall be reflected
in the rental rate paid by each one. All tenants must use the county's building -wide telephone
system and will be charged monthly by the county for their own usage and equipment, unless
other arrangements are agreed to.
IX. Hiring Policies
All tenants are encouraged to adhere to the principles of
Affirmative Action. In addition, consideration shall be given to the willingness of prospective
private and non-profit tenants to provide employment to current Tompkins County residents who
have found difficulty finding employment.
X. Review of These Policies
These policies shall be reviewed one year after their adoption by the Board of Representatives.

ANNUAL REPORT
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT COUNCIL
Herbert Engman, Chair
1. INTRODUCTION
The Tompkins County EMC monitors local environmental concerns including solid waste, water
quality, land use and fish and wildlife. 1986 has given Tompkins County several environmental threats. Most
notably has been the contamination of ground waters by petroleum storage tanks in Jacksonville and the
dilemma of proper solid waste disposal with the imminent closure of the current landfill. The threat of
groundwater contamination exists at the four Superfund sites identified in this county. The population of
Tompkins County has increased from 87,000 in 1980 to 90,000 in 1986. This increase is equivalent to adding
another town of Caroline's population to the county without increasing the county's land area. The'increase in
population puts pressure on the potential for alteration of the area's wetlands and unique natural areas. The
Environmental Management Council (EMC) monitors these areas for signs of encroachment. The EMC also
monitored the introduction of TFM into the Cayuga Inlet by the Department of Environmental Conservation
(DEC) for lamprey control.
1I. ORGANIZATION
The Tompkins County Environmental Management Council was established by a Resolution of the
Board of Representatives on May 10, 1971 which recognized that such a Council could aid in the
"preservation and improvement of the quality of the natural and manmade environment with the County of
Tompkins...(which) is of increasing and vital importance to the health, welfare, and economic well-being of
the present and future inhibitions of the County."*
The Objectives of the Council arc:
(1) To serve as County environmental information center with respect to all matters affecting the environment
and natural resources of the County.
(2) To Review and Recommend, for consideration by action groups, all matters affecting the environment and
natural resources of the County.
(3) To assist in the Coordination of activities, data and expertise in matters of environmental concern.
(4) To act as a Public Forum and provide Educational materials and information to foster a broader
understanding of environmental issues and their possible solutions.
In carrying out these objectives the Council is to "advise the Board of Representatives on matters
affecting the preservation, development and use of the natural features and conditions of the County insofar as
they have a bearing on environmental quality and, in the case of a man's activities and developments, with
regard to any threats posed to environmental quality, so as to enhance the long range value of the environment
to the people of the County."*
Members of the Council are appointed by the Board of Representatives for two-year terms and
represent each city, village and town (16 positions), specific county agencies and organizations (6 positions),
and 14 at -large members. The Council also includes 6 non-voting, ex -officio members.
The Council elects, at its Annual Meeting, the Chairperson, a Vice -Chairperson, Secretary and
seven additional members to serve on its Executive Committee. The Chairperson must be formally appointed
by the Board of Representatives. This Committee is responsible for the administration of Council activities.
* Tompkins County Board of Representatives Resolution No. 103, passed May 10, 1971.
In 1986 the EMC worked aggressively to evaluate the Council's organization and effectiveness.
The bylaw were updated to reflect the actual practices of the Council an to facilitate administration of the
Council's duties. In an attempt to clarify its expectation of its members, the EMC adopted an attendance
policy. To increase Council's communication with the Tompkins County Board of Representatives, the
Council instituted and Adopt a Rep program to insure a communication channel with each member of the
Board of Representatives. The monthly press release and changing the Council's meeting place to City Hall, a
central location for members and the media.

III. SEQRA
The EMC was asked by the Board of Representatives to recommend a procedure that the county
government should follow to insure that appropriate county actions follow SEQRA (State Environmental
Quality Review Act) regulations. Council made the following recommendations:
(1) Because important environmental questions confront Tompkins County, the county will adopt as soon as
possible a procedure to guide a SEQR process.
(2) Each department will name a SEQR "officer" to provide departmental leadership regarding SEQR.
(3) The following procedures will be followed:
A. The official responsible for recommending a SEQR action will complete the required form(s),
consulting the department SEQR officer (if a different person) when in doubt.
B. A copy of the form will be filed in the departmental office and with the EMC, and a copy sent
to a member of the responsible Board Committee as appointed by the chair of the Committee, who will have
tow weeks to recommend changes in the departmental decision. After two weeks the department decision is
sent through the normal approval process.
C. The Board will vote to adopt the recommendation(s) of staff or make changes at the next
scheduled Board Meeting.
D. The only exception to above procedure is any County Health Department action taken under the
County Sanitary Code, State Sanitary Code, and Department of Environmental Conservation regulations.
However, determinations of unlisted and Type 1 actions will be filed with the Clerk of the Board and with the
EMC.
(4) Following adoption of the procedure outlined in 3, above, the Board should authorize:
A. Standard SEQR forms to be utilized:
B. An educational program concerning SEQR for all department heads, the designated SEQR
official, and other essential staff.
This recommendation is currently being considered by the Board of Representatives.
IV. SOLID WASTE
Solid waste management was the number one environmental issue of the Tompkins County EMC
in 1986. The County Board of Representatives established a special seven member committee to study this
issue and recommend an active plan for the county. This committee has hired an environmental attorney and
an engineering firm to work on solid waste management issues. The EMC has been involved with this issue
for years, and this effort has been recognized through one of its members being appointed to the County
Board's special Solid Waste Committee.
Tompkins County's solid waste disposal options have changed rapidly from two landfill sites in
1985 to currently one landfill site that is under consent order to close in June, 1988. The Board of
Representatives has taken on the challenge of siting a DEC approved sanitary landfill within its borders by
June, 1988. The EMC has resolved that a landfill is necessary and compatible with any volume reduction
system that a strong education and public participation program is necessary to gain public support for the
county's solid waste management program. The EMC co-sponsored two (2) county -wide educational forums
on solid waste management and continues to champion open public participation in the landfill siting process.
Concurrently with the landfill siting, the county is investigating methods for solid waste volume
reduction through the engineering firm of O'Brien and Gere. The EMC supports an objective review of
volume reduction processes and continues to supply the county's Solid Waste Committee with information.
The EMC has resolved that recycling be the cornerstone of any volume reduction program. To that end, the
EMC published a review of recycling programs throughout the Northeast. The EMC has researched and
produced public information on waste oil recycling centers throughout the county, and the EMC resolved
support of a county government office paper recycling program.
The EMC has provided written comments to the state on handling hazardous household wastes.
The thrust of these comments was that the state should have the responsibility for collecting and disposing of
these wastes. This should be done by the state because of the special handling of these wastes and protection
370
of the local landfill from containing these. The EMC commented that funding for this program should come
from a tax that the consumer pays when purchasing these toxic materials. This tax would have the secondary
effect of educating the consumer on the true cost of using these toxic materials.
The final area of EMC involvement in solid waste management in 1986 has been investigating
methods for the total county to share the benefit that one town provides by having a landfill. The EMC has
sponsored outside experts to discuss the benefit sharing concept with county officials. The EMC continues to
gather information on how other areas are resolving this issue and financial incentives in addition to volume
reduction, for prolonging the life of a landfill.
V. GROUNDWATER
Protection of the county's groundwater resource has also risen to the top of the county's
environmental concerns. Well contamination at Jacksonville and Cortland has demonstrated how real the
threat of groundwater contamination is and how difficult it is to correct the contamination once it is detected.
The EMC reviewed the NYSDEC's groundwater management plan. Below are the actions being
taken by the EMC as a result of reviewing this plan.
(1) Public education on groundwater resources, sources of contamination and effective protection: In order to
achieve the most effective implementation of this education plan the Council asked other county agencies
to help. A Groundwater Task Force for Tompkins County was established. Our Cooperative Extension
County Coordinator has agreed to chair the Task Force, which includes the Health Department and the
EMC's Air and Water Quality Committee.
(2) Obtain hydro -geologic information through requiring well drillers to submit well logs: The EMC passed a
resolution to the Board of Health recommending the addition of new water well registration requirements
to the County Sanitary Code. Registration was recommended to include information such as the location
of the well, its depth, and depth size of casing, estimated sustained yield, depth of water level, and types
and depths of geologic material penetrated,
(3)
Obtain improved water quality data on the county's aquifers and quality trends examined: the Council
authorized a letter to be sent to local government agencies indicating EMC's interest in whatever such
information they might be able to supply. The letter was sent to the Health Department, the local office of
the U.S. Geological Survey, the Soil and Water Conservation District, and the county Highway
Department The EMC would also like to get information from private well owners on their water quality.
The Council is co -sponsoring a well -owner's survey for the Groton arca to be done by a student member
of the council. The well -owner's survey may also serve as a public education tool.
(4) Tompkins County's aquifers be designated on an equivalent basis as the State's Principal and Primary
Aquifers. This step will be taken as more information is gathered about hydro -geology in the county.
VI. SURFACE WATER
The Air and Water Quality Committee identified a loophole in the state's Stream Protection Law.
The state water law does not restrict the amount of water on riparian withdrawals from a stream, short of legal
action following damage to downstream riparian interest. Fish and wildlife needs are seriously compromised
by this omission. The Council resolved that a letter be sent to DEC making them aware of this omission. The
initial response from DEC was less than encouraging, but the tenacity of the Air and Water Quality Committee
has resulted in DEC consenting to review this concern in their water management strategy.
VII. NEPTUNE HOSE COMPANY ARTICLE 24 PERMIT APPLICATION
Council commented twice on the Neptune 1-iose Company's permit application to fill
approximately 1.5 acres of adjacent, regulated freshwater wetland. EMC Executive Committee commented
generally on the proposal, along with its request for a 2 -week extension to the comment period. The extension
enabled EMC to process the issue through its Land Use and Transportation Committee for detailed analysis
and comment, according to established procedure. The Executive Committee urged a strict interpretation of
minimum land use standards, as outlined in part 665 regulations. The Land Use and Transportation
Committee made a full analysis of the information submitted with the permit application, challenging certain
allegations made in the support information. The Committee submitted actual flood data from the 1981 flood,
submitted data from air photos, and other related information in order to demonstrate the importance of the
wetland as a flood reservoir, the level of surrounding development upslope, and the actual severity of recent
flood levels, which exceeded that projected by the permit support information submitted to DEC by the
applicant. DEC has received our information, and has, we have been told, requested the applicant to
reconsider his proposal. 371
VIII. HOG'S HOLE
Hog's 1-lole is a wetland adjacent to the Treman Marina. The EMC has been working to develop
greater public access and protection for this wetland. During 1986, the Council sponsored a work party to
adjust the dams around Hog's Hole to maintain its wetland characteristics.
IX. ROUTE 96
The state has developed, with the help of local planners, several options for dealing with the traffic
congestion on Route 96 and the octopus on Ithaca's west side. The state is preparing Draft Environmental
Impact Statements on these options. The EMC is attempting to gain objective information on the option and
may develop a position statement.
X. DOG - DEER PREDATION
The Fish and Wildlife Committee has discovered that Tompkins County does not have a
communication channel that reports all siting of dogs chasing deer in the winter. Without this communication,
the EMC is concerned that there is not enough information to evaluate the need for a dog quarantine. The Fish
and Wildlife Committee has developed a reporting information sheet and circulated it to all law and
conservation enforcement agencies. This information will be used to develop communication channels on
dog -deer predation between these enforcement agencies.
XI. BEAVER
Beaver have formed dams in Newfield and Dryden that have flooded highways. The EMC has
mediated disputes between property owners, highway departments, and DEC on how to resolve the flooding
problem. The thrust of the EMC involvement has been to convey information on behavior patterns of the
beaver.
XII. GYPSY MOTH
The threat of severe gypsy moth infestation is present in Tompkins County. The EMC, in concert
with Cooperative Extension and local environmental groups, is annually gathering data on the size and
frequency of gypsy moth egg masses around the county. This information is used by Cooperative Extension to
predict infestation locations and to gauge the amount and type of educational material necessary for the early
summer.
XIII, RADON
The EMC has established a special committee to gather information on radon and its implications
to Tompkins County residents. This information will be available in early 1987.
XIV. SUMMARY
The EMC is an active group of concerned citizens. The above list of accomplishments
demonstrates their commitment to an environmental consciousness throughout the county. And the EMC's
organization re-evaluation insures its effectiveness in the coming years.

ANNUAL REPORT
PROBATION DEPARTMENT
FAMILY COURT INTAKE
The Family Court Act provides for an adjustment process in that "the probation service may confer
with any person seeking to file a petition, the potential respondent and other interested persons concerning the
advisability of tiling a petition; to attempt through conciliation and agreement to adjust suitable cases before a
petition is filed over which the court apparently would have jurisdiction."
Probation Officers screen cases to determine which ones may be adjusted within the probation
department's intake service, which cases need court action, and which cases should/must be referred to other
community agencies. The probation officer attempts to adjust as many appropriate cases as possible. As this
process is one in which the parties provide input, with the probation officer's assistance, the parties are
ultimately resolving the conflict themselves. However, the probation officer may not prevent any person who
wishes to file a petition from having access to the court for that purpose. Successful adjustments divert those
cases from the court process, and, thus, spare the parties the emotional trauma and financial expense of a court
proceeding.
In 1985 the Probation Department received a total of 444 cases. There were 92 1D, 93 PINS, 104
Family Offense, 36 Support, 118 Custody, and one conciliation case opened_ The largest decrease in number
of cases opened occurred in the category of Custody.
Overall 43% of the total cases were adjusted at the Intake level without involvement ofthe Family
Court. In 46 cases (of the total 444) there was no follow through by the parties. The largest percentages of
adjustment occurred for Juvenile Delinquents (77%) and for Support (61%). Family Offenses were only
adjusted in 16% of the cases; however, in 75% of the Family Offense cases, the Probation Department assisted
the complainant in preparing a petition for the Family Court or in seeking counsel in order to access the
Family Court.
In 1986 the Probation Department received a total of 444 intake cases maintaining the same level
of cases as in 1985. These cases included 140 JD cases, 60 PINS referrals, 107 Custody/Visitation cases, 48
Support cases, and 89 Family Offense cases. The most significant increase was the 52% increase in the
number ()FM referrals; however, this was somewhat otTset by a decline in the PINS cases.
67% of the JD and 47% of the PINS cases were successfully adjusted without court intervention.
Of the remaining JD and PINS cases, 41 were referred to Family Court for immediate intervention at the
request of the respondent, respondent's parent or guardian, the complainant, and/or the screening probation
personnel. 19 other cases were referred to Family Court as unresolved during the intake process.
With regard to other family issues, Custody and Visitation cases were resolved in 54% of the cases.
48% of the Support cases were adjusted through intake services. 81% of the Family Offense cases were
referred to petition immediately in order that the petitioner access the court to obtain a temporary order of
protection. The probation department assisted the petitioner in preparing the petition in many of these cases.
During the first 9 months of 1986, Intake Services were provided by seven Core Probation officers
on a daily, rotating basis. In October the entire intake component was incorporated as one of the
responsibilities of a newly created Probation Unit. As one of its services, this new unit will provide
specialized intake services using a case management approach to meet the needs of families. This will involve
the continued cooperation among Probation, Social Services, schools, and other community agencies to
address the needs of these families.
The Family Court Intake Unit will also continue to assist parties in reaching mutual agreements
regarding Custody, Visitation, and Support issues without the need for the sometimes adversarial atmosphere
of Family Court.
Nancy Bahns, Probation Officer
RELEASE ON RECOGNIZANCE/RELEASE UNDER SUPERVISION
377
During 1986, the Probation Department continued its Release on Recognizance (ROR) and Release
Under Supervision (RUS) Programs in an attempt to facilitate release from jail without financial conditions by
identifying appropriate defendants for Release on Recognizance or Conditional release. The programs are
only provided to those defendants who have not been convicted of the crime with which they are charged.
All defendants in custody are given the opportunity to be interviewed, except for those over whom
the Court has no jurisdiction to effect release (i.e. federal detainees, violations of probation or parole, pending
warrants, no bail offenses, etc.).
After an initial screening and personal interview with the defendant, an investigation of his legal,
social and employment history, and checking personal references, a recommendation is made to the Court as to
the best release possibility. The recommendation may be for Release On Recognizance, Release Under
Supervision, no release, or release to a third party (parents, etc.). If Release Under Supervision is
recommended, specific conditions of release are submitted to the Court.
During 1986, a total of 342 individuals were remanded to the jail. Two hundred thirty-eight
investigations were completed and forwarded to the Courts as opposed to 114 investigations completed in
1985. The remainder of the cases consisted of defendants who were released on bail, sentenced, or had
additional warrants filed prior to the submission of the report.

Probation Assistant
PRE-TRIAL DIVERSION PROGRAM
The Pre -Trial Diversion Program offers certain first time offenders, charged with a misdemeanor or
felony, an alternative to the traditional Court process. Successful completion of the program can result in the
defendant's having the pending charges dismissed. By referring many first time offenders to Diversion, the
Court frees itself to spend time with more complex cases. Diversion clients keep regular appointments with
our staff, visit Tompkins County Jail or Auburn State Prison, volunteer their time helping the community, and
pay restitution to the victims,
The standardized Policies and Procedures for the Pre -Trial Diversion Program, which were being
developed in 1984, were completed in 1985. They are now incorporated into the Departmental Policy and
Procedures Manual.
Historically, the two full time positions in the Pre -Trial Diversion Program were both Probation
Assistant positions. In 1983 one position was upgraded to Probation Officer. In 1985 we saw the remaining
Probation Assistant position upgraded also. This change was in response to both the growing number of
clients being serviced by the program as well as internal modifications designed to increase the program's
overall structure and effectiveness.
Further changes occurred in 1986 when the Pre -Trial Diversion Program became the responsibility
of a Pre -adjudicatory services unit within the department. The three Probation Officers in this unit provide
Family Court Intake Services as well as supervise Diversion clients.

PROBATION INVESTIGATIONS
The purpose of the probation investigation is to provide the ordering court with accurate, reliable
information in a succinct and analytical format, so as to assist the court in making decisions. investigations
include social background information about the person(s) presently before the court and any other areas
378
which the court may wish to consider at the time of sentencing or final disposition of the case. The Probation
Department conducts investigations for the Family Court and Criminal Courts.
The Criminal Procedure Law requires a presentence report for any felony or misdemeanor when a
sentence of probation, imprisonment for a term of 90 days or cumulative sentence of imprisonment
aggregating more than ninety days is in order. An investigation for a misdemeanor charge, lesser offenses, or
a pre -plea may be ordered at the discretion of the court.
The Family Court Act provides that predispositional investigations are required in all Juvenile
Delinquency cases. In Person In Need Of Supervision (PINS) cases a predispositional investigation is
discretionary, but is most often the rule locally. In addition, Family Court may order investigations involving
child custody, visitation, adoption, support, family offense, and parents who are before the Family Court as a
result of abuse or neglect of their child(ren).
Family Court Investigations
The total number of investigations ordered by the Family Court in 1985 decreased 25% from 1984
but increased 30% over 1984 in 1986.
The greatest percentage increase (500%) was evidenced by the Supplemental Investigation
category which includes addenda and up -dated reports for previously completed investigations.
However, the category comprised of Custody, Visitation, and Adoption Investigations (as a rule the
most involved and complicated investigations performed by the department) saw the greatest increase. The
number ordered during 1986 was 31 more than in 1984 and 37 more than in 1985.

Criminal Court Investigations
All Felony investigations are initiated by County Court; whereas, misdemeanor investigations are
ordered by city and justice courts as well as county court. Presentence investigations not only provide the
courts with information for decision making but also assist a multiplicity of agencies, including probation,
parole, and rehabilitative institutions to formulate treatment and supervisory plans.
In past years the number of Criminal Court Investigations reported in the annual reports reflected
not only the number of presentence investigations ordered but also by the Pre -Trial Release reports completed.
This year's annual report will only include presentence investigations ordered during 1985 and 1986.
In 1986 a total of 325 presentence investigations were ordered by the justice, city, and county
courts. Of this number, 12 were pre -plea investigations and one was ordered for a Certificate of Relief from
Disabilities. The number of misdemeanor investigations decreased by 77 from 1985, and the number of felony
investigations increased by 28 from 1985.

PROBATION SUPERVISION
Over the years, the role of County Probation Departments in New York State has expanded to meet
the needs of the people of New York State. However, the major role of those departments remains the
supervision of persons sentenced to or placed on probation by the Courts. Such supervision has the statewide
objectives of providing public protection; preparing the probationer for independent, law-abiding living;
identifying, utilizing, and creating resources in the community to fulfill program needs of probationers;
providing an opportunity for full participation of the probationer in planning his activities in the community;
conducting a supervision program based on cost effectiveness; and providing recovery to victims of criminal
acts wherever practicable. Each person, juvenile or adult, who is placed under probation supervision is court-
ordered to fulfill certain conditions of probation such as the following: attend school or be employed, obey all
laws, obtain counseling, or pay restitution. Through living within the confines of specific conditions, it is
hoped that the probationer achieves the objectives and effects of his rehabilitation. The probation officer
provides the guidance and supervision deemed necessary by the Court to help the probationer achieve
rehabilitation.
Family Court Supervision
Family Court Probation Supervision primarily deals with juveniles, aged seven to sixteen years,
who have been adjudicated by the Court as Juvenile Delinquents (JD) or Persons in Need of Supervision
(PINS). In some cases of family offense, support, or child abuse or neglect, adults are supervised.
The total number of new Family Court Probationers received by this department in 1985 totaled 22,

In addition to supervising persons who have been placed on probation by the Family Court because
of an adjudication based on the merits of a petition, probation officers are also ordered to supervise persons
who have been referred to the Court on a petition for Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal (ACD). In
such cases, the matter is adjourned for a set period of time and will be eventually dismissed if the person has
abided by certain conditions that the Court has set. Such behavior is monitored by a probation officer for the
set length of time and such supervision is called Pre-Dispositional Supervision.
As can be seen on the following chart, Pre-Dispositional Supervision from Tompkins County
Family Court decreased by 100% in 1985 over 1984.

Criminal Court Supervision
The Criminal Court Supervision function primarily deals with persons over sixteen years of age
who have committed a crime (misdemeanor or felony) and have been determined to be a low enough risk to
the community to allow them to remain out of jail or prison.
The number of felony supervisions received by the department in 1985 and 1986 increased over the
number received in 1984 by 19% and 15% respectively.
Although the number of misdemeanor supervisions received in 1985 increased 7% over the number
received in 1984, the number received in 1986 represented a 16% decrease from 1984.

INTENSIVE SUPERVISION PROGRAM
The Tompkins County Intensive Supervision/Alternative Sentencing Program (ISP/ASP) continues
in operation, and its guidelines remain basically the same as in 1983-1984. The program averages six months
and includes a two time per week personal contact with the probationer; an emphasis on employment and
home visits; numerous collateral contacts with family, friends, and treatment providers; and immediate
communication with the courts if so warranted.
During the years of 1985 and 1986, there have been a total of 49 individuals who have been
selected by various Probation Officers, the Intensive Supervision Officer, and Probation Supervisors as
appropriate for Intensive Supervision. These individuals are usually identified during the presentence process
as high risks to fail on probation. Some are also transferred internally to ISP after they have been on regular
probation for a period of time and their continued illegal behavior or attitude requires more intensified
381
supervision. Of the 49 individuals, 15 have been transitioned to regular probation supervision, 14 have had
their probation sentences revoked (6 re -sentenced to local jail time, 5 re -sentenced to state prison, ! re-
sentenced to Community Service, 2 discharged from probation), 2 have had their probation cases transferred to
other locations, 1 has been discharged from probation as improved, 3 have absconded, and 14 remain under
active probation supervision.
Even though the Intensive Supervision Program in the past two years has not met the preferred goal
of 100% rehabilitation, the success rate has been approximately 60% of those who are no longer on ISP. This
is a creditable accomplishment and has been a true alternative to incarceration for those who have succeeded;
since without ISP, each one may have been incarcerated.
In 1987 ISP will be changing somewhat based on new guidelines from the New York State
Division of Probation and Correctional Alternatives. These guidelines are not yet in effect, but they will
involve more differential supervision (required probation contacts based on the probationer's status of
employment, school, or involvement with other activities), and there will be efforts made to have ISP involved
earlier in the court process before a conviction. These changes seem exciting and will be elaborated on more
fully after their implementation.

DRIVING WHILE INTOXICATED PROGRAM
The Tompkins County Probation Department's Driving While Intoxicated Program has been
operational since January 1, 1985. Previous to this time DWI defendants referred for Probation Supervision
were assigned to one of several Probation Officers whose responsibilities include a variety of other tasks in the
Criminal and Family Courts. The increased number of DWI referrals for Probation Supervision, especially in
comparison with other offenses (see chart; Probation Supervision Profile 1981/1986), indicated that more
Probation resources were needed. However, the high recidivism rate of DWI, especially felony DWI, and its
attendant danger to the community, as well as the more recent understanding of Alcoholism as a disease, made
the need for a more intensive, specialized supervision program apparent. The County STOP -DWI Program
and New York State fund the position for a full time DWI Probation Officer.
The DW[ Probation Program serves all Criminal Courts in Tompkins County with the highest
referrals coming from the County Court, which refers approximately 3/4 of the cases, usually felony (repeat)
DWI's (see chart: DWI Probation Supervision Case Load Felony and Misdemeanor Comparison). Most
clients have more than two alcohol related driving offenses with the average being 3 DWI's or DWAI's.
Criteria for referral to the DWI Probation Program are high blood alcohol content (greater than .15%), greater
than 50 points on the Mortimer-Filkens Test for identifying problem drinkers, two or more DWI's or DWAI's
in the past 5 years or 3 or more in the past 10 years, attitude of the individual (negative), past rehabilitative
efforts, whether or not an accident was involved, an alcohol evaluation which indicates the need for treatment,
and a legal history that seems to indicate alcohol related problems.
The DWI Probation Officer has an intensive caseload of approximately 25 clients. The leading
component of the program has been alcohol treatment. Alcohol treatment has included residential placement
out of county, outpatient counseling at the Alcoholism Council and other Certified Alcohol Agencies, family
counseling, mental health counseling, AA attendance, Al -Anon attendance, and other treatment programs.
A second emphasis is the close supervision of the individual within the community. The DWI
program is modeled after the Tompkins County Probation Department Intensive Supervision Program. The
individual is held accountable for his actions or inactions. Weekly office contacts are made with the
individual; home visits (scheduled and unscheduled), employment visits as well as agency contacts are
maintained on a regular basis.
Conditions of Probation for alcohol related driving offenses have been standardized to include the
following: alcohol treatment, no alcohol, remaining out of establishments where alcohol is served, testing for
continued alcohoUdrug usage, not to drive without a valid New York State license and not to apply for a
license without prior written permission from the Courts. Home and employment visits are regularly made, as
are occasional field "bar checks" to verify compliance. According to recent statistics provided by the Division
of Probation and Correctional Alternatives, 19% of our department's active supervision cases are alcohol
related driving offenses. Translated, this means of a total of 436 supervisions, 91 are DWI's and 25 are
supervised intensively on the DWI caseload.
382
The third major duty of the DWI Probation Officer is the completion of presentence investigations
for the Courts. To date, over 1 16 DWI investigations have been completed since January of 1985, most of
which have been prepared for the Tompkins County Court and a few for other county courts. In 1985, forty
seven DWI presentence investigations were completed. in 1986 that number increased to forty nine. In the
First quarter of 1987, twenty DWI Presentence Investigations were completed, or a projected yearly increase of
59% over 1985. The program has room to grow and will be continually refined in the future.
David R. Spielman
DWI Probation Officer
SERVICE WORK ALTERNATIVE PROGRAM
"Evolving" is the work that best describes the state of The Service Work Alternative Program - the
department's community service restitution program. Two rather major events occurred during 1985 which
assisted in the change process.
First of all, new state law became effective which allows public and nonprofit organizations to
provide Worker's Compensation coverage for persons with court-ordered community service hours to
perform. This has allowed the program to expand beyond the county departments, which had been the primary
placement sites for our clients, and into other nonprofit organizations.
Secondly, Tompkins County entered into a contract with the New York State Division of
Probation and Correctional Alternatives (NYSDPCA) to provide an "enhanced" community service restitution
program --that is, a weekend work crew that is supervised directly by one-half time employee of the Probation
Department. The crew, which can be composed of up to eight (8) persons, works at various sites (again, not-
for-profit and public agencies) throughout Tompkins County. The Weekend Work Crew is an experimental
program, the costs of which are totally reimbursed to the county by NYSDPCA.
Adding the Crew component, and thus the direct supervisory role, necessitated the development of
a more stringent accountability system for the program. In addition, the State Division's mandate that the
enhanced program provide courts with a true alternative to incarceration has required the development of
eligibility criteria specific to Tompkins County; a program that is readily accountable to the courts; clear
expectational and behavioral guidelines for the participating clients; and, of course, a databased system for
managing cases and evaluating the program. Several of these systems have been developed, and others are in
process.
In current practice there are essentially three populations with the Service Work Alternative
Program:
1) A group of persons who would probably not have been incarcerated but are ordered to do
community service as a "payback" to the community,
2) A group of apparently "jail -bound" persons who can work at a "regular" agency during normal
business hours, and
3) A group of "jail -bound", high risk persons who require direct supervision and who are unable to
work their hours during usual business hours -the Weekend Work Crew.
Although the concept of using community service sentences solely as a means of making
retribution to the community is a popular and reasonable idea, the Probation Department does not currently
have the personnel or resources to continue such a program. As a result, we have chosen to develop the
community service program as a sentencing alternative to incarceration. The purposes of such an alternative
are to reduce the local jail population and, therefore, to reduce the cost associated with imprisonment; to allow
defendants to remain within the family, community, and workplace; and to provide a degree of "pay back" to
the community.
Significant statistics for the alternative sentencing program are as follows:
1985 1986
Number Successful Completions 3 20
Number Unsuccessful Completions 9 3
Service hours completed 325 2.456
383
The program's goals for 1987 are varied and quite numerous. Primarily we hope to expand our list
of user agencies, increase our credibility with the courts and community, thoroughly evaluate all aspects of the
program and modify as appropriate, and more stringently delineate the appropriate client population.
As part of the July 1986 to June 1987 contract with NYSDPCA, the department is also
coordinating the production of a resource handbook for the Courts and Criminal Court Attomeys. The
handbook will thoroughly describe county programs that provide services as alternatives to incarceration.
Distribution of the manual is tentatively planned for May 1987.

COLLECTIONS
"Collections" include those charges levied by the courts against defendants in the form of fines,
surcharges and/or restitution to crime victims. The Probation Department is frequently ordered by the courts
to collect such levies, monitor payments, disburse monies to the victims, and report on the status of each case
to the appropriate court.
The department's IBM PC -XT has proved invaluable in computing arrearages and maintaining
accurate records. As can be seen below, collections continue to increase as we respond to the needs of the
justice system. The total collected has nearly tripled in live years.

URINALYSIS SCREENING
The department continues to actively use urinalysis screening to detect Cannabinoid (marijuana),
Alcohol, and other drug use among probationers. Usually, submission to testing is ordered as a Condition of
Probation Supervision; however, some testing is submitted to on a voluntary basis.
The 1985 budget for urinalysis was $6,000.00 and for the year $5,400.82 was spent on a total of
256 samples. A total of 368 tests were taken in the following categories:
Cannabinoid
Other drug
235
86
384
Alcohol 47
Total 368 Tests
Employment of urinalysis testing has been invaluable to verify probationers' use of drugs or
alcohol. Normally, probationers are ordered to abstain from the use of these substances because they have
become involved in difficulty which was either directly or indirectly tied to substance use/abuse. The ability
to verify current use is essential to ascertain the probationer's progress. A positive result on a urinalysis test
could be used as a tool to require treatment or, as a last resort, for verification for a Violation of Probation
Proceeding.
Because testing for alcohol use is somewhat expensive and many times did not result in positive
result, in an eftbrt to cut costs, Alco -scan tabs were ordered to do preliminary testing for alcohol. The scans
are much cheaper and have saved quite a bit of money.
In 1986 the use of Alco -scans (51.42 each) saves us over six hundred dollars with their use of
being substituted for each expensive (517.00) alcohol urinalysis. Only in the case of a positive Alco -scans
result do we run a urinalysis as verification,
The1986 budget for Urinalysis was $4,000. 53,695.55 was spent in the year on a total of 269
samples. The remainder spent covered the Alco -scans.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM
We have been utilizing IBM - PC's for the past two years both for caseload record keeping and
work processing purposes. All supervision, investigation, and collection records are computerized, and input
has started on intake, pretrial release, and diversion records. The word-processing capabilities have allowed
us to prepare our reports quicker and also to increase the quality of our documents.
With the assistance of the New York State Division of Probation and Correctional Alternatives and
the county's Central Data Processing Department, we should be able to increase areas of utilization during the
coming year. We will also begin investigation of an eventual tie-in with the county's mainframe computer to
further enhance our computer capabilities.

NEW YORK STATEWIDE POLICE INFORMATION NETWORK (NYSPIN) SYSTEM COMPUTER
TERMINAL
The NYSPIN System allows for direct access, via the terminal, to Criminal History record
information (CHRI), and wanted/missing persons information contained in the division of Criminal Justice
Services (DCJS) files, plus Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Driver's License and vehicle registration
information. The system also provides the capability of communicating directly with other Criminal Justice,
Law Enforcement, and DMV Agencies nationwide, and Law Enforcement Agencies worldwide via
INTERPOL (International Police Agency). In addition, access to the State Division of Probation's Registrant
System (PRS) is available.
In August 1996, our NYSPIN equipment was updated with new RCA-NYSPIN enforcer system.
During 1986, a total of 1571 messages were sent via the system to the Department of Criminal
Justice Service, National Crime Information Center, and other relevant agencies.
The utilization of the NYSPIN terminal has continued to be a valuable asset to the overall
functioning of the department. The information received allows the department to provide faster, more
accurate and current reports for the Courts of Tompkins County.

PINS ADJUSTMENT SERVICES PLANNING
385
In 1985 the N.Y. State legislature passed an important new legislative program (Ch. 813 of the
Laws of 1985) designed to implement assessment, planning, and service delivery strategies, statewide, that
will support'successful diversion of' persons in need of supervision (PINS) from the Family Court process.
This PINS Adjustments Service Act is intended to decrease the inappropriate utilization of the Family Court
process and to decrease the number of out of home placements on PINS. The Act encourages localities to set
and accomplish long term goals in planning for the delivery of a comprehensive array of services to meet the
need of these youths and their families. Youth and families should, thereby, have appropriate and easily
available access to services without the need of court intervention. The Act establishes a 4 year period,
beginning January of 1987, during which localities may voluntarily implement the provision of the Act.
On November 6, 1985, the Tompkins County Board of Representatives designated the Probation
Department as the Coordinating Agency of a team effort in the development of a detailed, comprehensive,
community -wide planning process and plan. Since that date, Probation personnel have chaired an inter -agency
planning committee, and we are anticipating a plan completion date of July 1987. Hopefully, the County
approved plan will be approved by the State Inter -Agency team by late 1987, and Tompkins County will be
ready to make the PINS Act operational until January 1988.
Lois D. King, Probation Supervisor
COMMUNITY AGENCY INTERFACING
The effective functioning of the Probation Department is dependent upon strong working
relationships with diverse community agencies and the mutual, active exchange of programming information
and ideas. The department encourages the professional staff to serve on governing, advisory and
programming committees of service agencies/groups within Tompkins County.
During 1985 and 1986, professional staff members served on the Boards Of Directors for Group
Homes of Tompkins County, Goodhope Youth Homes, Offender Aid and Restoration, The Alcoholism
Council of Tompkins County, and the Stop -DWI program.
Probation personnel have also represented the department on Advisory committees to the
Tompkins County Family Court, Suicide Prevention and Crisis Service, Ithaca City Youth Bureau, Alternative
Community School, subcommittees of the Mental Health Board, and the Child Protective Unit of the
Department of Social Services. Staff involvement with the Sexual Abuse Task Force, Community Case
Management Team, and Justice Awareness Programs (Bottom Line and Junior Deputies) continued, as did
staff participation in training courses given at the local police academy. The expertise of probation staff
persons has also been sought for temporary task forces/study groups that are established from time to time.

ANNUAL REPORT
TOMPKINS COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
JUVENILE PROGRAMS
The Junior Deputy Program, sponsored by the Tompkins County Sheriff's Department, has had another
banner year. Over 750 area students of the fifth and sixth grades participated in the Program. Due to
escalating liability insurance cost, the Program went without the June "campout", held annually at Camp
Barton. This was an unfortunate turn of events, as we all looked forward each year to spending time with the
children at the camp.
Our Juvenile Officer spent forty-five minutes each week explaining the role of the Juvenile Officer, the
juvenile justice system and the ramifications of his job and how that best relates to these individuals in a
positive way.
In co-sponsorship with the Greater Ithaca Activities Center, our Juvenile Officer participated in the Bottom
Line Program on a weekly basis. To date, four area schools are involved in the program. They are Newfield,
Trumansburg, Boynton and Dryden. These schools account for approximately four hundred students of the
seventh and eighth grades, who culminate the weeks activities with police officer, ex- offenders, lawyers,
probation officers and a trip to the jail.
For 1986, the sight of the State Sheriff's Association summer camp was changed to Keuka Lake's Camp
Iroquois, at 1000 East Bluff Drive, Pen Yan, N.Y. This turned out to be a pleasant change and our six area
students who participated in the week long camp returned home with many fond memories and exciting times.
The Juvenile Officer handled ninety-nine juvenile cases and referred thirty-five to family court or probation
intake. The remainder of the cases were disposed of by departmental warnings.
the focal point of this years Junior Deputy Program, will be the kids trip to the new Public Safety building
on Warren Rd. in April and May. Plans are underway to insure that 1987's group will leave the facility with a
greater understanding of the criminal justice system and it's impact on local communities, in terms of
constantly updating and revising a centuries old system of law enforcement and corrections.

NAVIGATION REPORT
During the 1986 boating season, the Sheriffs Department Navigation Patrol was, as in years past, very active
in enforcing the laws of the state and local governments on Cayuga Lake.
For the season of 1986, there were three boating accidents reported; on resulted in minor injuries and the other
two only property damage.
As in our past practice, the patrol responded to both Seneca County and Cayuga County to either assist their
patrol or handle complaints when they were not available.
For the season the patrol inspected approximately three hundred vessels safety equipment and proper
documentation. Of the boats inspected, thirteen summonses were issued for various violations. Also, there
were five summonses issued for penal law violation and forty-five boats were assisted for various life and
safety reasons. Twelve regattas were patrolled at the request of the Ithaca Yacht Club.
The number of boaters on Cayuga Lake has steadily increased over the last few years. The patrol maintains a
very high standard of visibility. It has shown in the lower number of violations.
State fundings available again this year with a fifty percent reimbursement for the County. This funding
reimbursement covers all monies spent for the patrol.
The patrol boat is in desperate need of extensive repairs. A large amount of funds will be needed to get the
boat in proper running order. With the funding via the State, it would be in this county's best interest, to take
advantage of the funding and purchase of a new vessel. This is the most responsible action for the County, as
we must keep up with the increasing demands and obligations of the boating public that use Cayuga Lake.
The navigation patrol is a valuable and well respected law enforcement unit of the Sheriff's Department, and
should be maintained and staffed by a well trained staff and dependable equipment.

ANNUAL REPORT
TOMPKINS COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES
Submitted by Mary Pat Dolan
Commissioner
The Department of Social Services is responsible for the provision of financial assistance and services
necessary to sustain families and individuals and assist them in achieving the greatest degree of independence
possible. Programs are authorized under the federal Social Security Act and the New York State Social
Services Law.
Financial Assistance programs include Aid to Families with Dependent Children, Home Relief,
Emergency Aid to Families, Emergency Aid to Adults and the Home Energy Assistance Program.
All of these programs are intended to assist families or individuals through a time of financial
crisis.
II. Medical Assistance (Medicaid) makes direct payments to providers of medical services on behalf
of eligible recipients.
111. Food Stamps provide a certain number of free food coupons to eligible recipients and are intended
to increase their food purchasing power.
IV. Adult Services are provided to assist adults with housing, alcohol/drug problems, financial
management, and in-home care as well as to investigate reports of abuse or neglect.
V. Child Services cover a wide range of activities including foster care, adoption, day care,
counseling and protective services for children.
Vt. Child Support Services consist of collection and disbursement of court-ordered support monies for
private citizens and for recipients of public assistance. Child support staff also locate absent
parents, assist in the establishment of paternity and obtain court orders of support.
VII. The County Home is maintained to provide a controlled environment for persons who are
unable to function in a private setting. The Horne provides food, shelter, special diets as needed,
assistance with all activities of daily living, and a therapeutic, recreational and diversionary activity
program for all residents.
After months of planning, relocation of Department Offices took place in September of 1956. The Department
is now located at 301 Harris B. Dates Drive, Biggs Building A. Biggs Building A is the new designation for
the former hospital located on West Hill.
All Caseload and financial summaries are on file in the Department of Social Services.

SECTION 1. Legislative Intent: The New York State Legislature has enacted legislation
permitting public entities, including counties, to provide for the defense and indemnification of

has agreed in principle to this concept. This local law implements that concept.
SECTION 2. Definition of "Employee:" The term "employee" shall mean any
commissioner, member of a public board or commission, trustee, director, officer, employee,
volunteer expressly authorized to participate in a publicly sponsored volunteer program, or any
other person holding a position by election, appointment, or employment in the service of

or judicially appointed personal representative.
SECTION 3. Defense:
a. Upon compliance by the employee with the provisions of Section 5 of this local law,
Tompkins County shall provide for the defense of the employee in any civil action or proceeding,
state or federal, arising out of any alleged act or omission which occurred or allegedly occurred
while the employee was acting within the scope of his/her public employment or duties. This duty
to provide for a defense shall not arise where such civil action or proceeding is brought by or at the
behest of Tompkins County.
b. Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph "a" of this section, the employee shall
be entitled to representation by private counsel of his/her choice in any civil action or proceeding
whenever the County Attorney determines that a conflict of interest exists, or whenever a court,
upon appropriate motion or otherwise by a special proceeding, determines that a conflict of interest
exists and that the employee is entitled to be represented by counsel of his/her choice; provided,
however, that the County Attorney may require, as a condition to payment of the fees and expenses
of such representation, that appropriate groups of such employees be represented by the same
counsel. Reasonable attorney's fees and litigation expenses shall be paid by Tompkins County to
such private counsel from time to time during the pendency of the civil action or proceeding with
the approval of the Tompkins County Board of Representatives.
c. Any dispute with respect to representation of multiple employees by a single counsel
or the amount of litigation expenses or the reasonableness of attorney's fees shall be resolved by the
court upon motion or by way of a special proceeding.
d. Where the employee delivers process and a written request for a defense to Tompkins
County under Section 5 of this local law, the County shall take the necessary steps on behalf of the
employee to avoid entry of a default judgment pending resolution of any question pertaining to the
obligation to provide for a defense.
SECTION 4. Indemnification:
a. Tompkins County shall indemnify and hold its employees harmless in the amount of
any judgment obtained against such employees in a state or federal court, or in the amount of any
settlement of a claim, provided that the act or omission from which such judgment or claim arose
occurred while the employee was acting within the scope of his/her public employment or duties;
provided further that in the case of a settlement, the duty to indemnify and hold harmless shall be
conditioned upon the approval of the amount of settlement by the Tompkins County Board of
Representatives.
b. Except as otherwise provided by law, the duty to indemnify and hold 'harmless
prescribed by this section shall not arise where the injury or damage resulted from intentional
wrongdoing or recklessness on the part of the employee.
442
c. Nothing in this section shall authorize Tompkins County to indemnify or hold an
employee harmless with respect to punitive or exemplary damages, fines, or penalties, or money
recovered from an employee pursuant to Section 51 of the General Municipal Law.
d. Upon entry of a final judgment against the employee, or upon settlement of the claim,
the employee shall serve a copy of such judgment or settlement personally or be certified or
registered mail within thirty days of the date of entry or settlement, upon the Chairman of the
Tompkins County Board of Representatives; and, if not inconsistent with the provisions of this
local law, the amount of such judgment or settlement shall be paid by Tompkins County.
SECTION 5. Duty to Notify: The duty to indemnify or hold harmless and defend as
prescribed by this local law shall be conditioned upon:
a. delivery by the employee to the County Attorney or to the Chairman of the Board of
Representatives of a written request to provide for his/her defense, together with the original or
copy of any summons, complaint, process, notice, pleading or demand within ten days after (s)he is
served with such document; and
b. the full cooperation of the employee in the defense of such action or proceeding and in
defense of any action or proceeding against Tompkins County based upon the same act or
omission, and in the prosecution of any appeal.
SECTION 6. Other Rights: The benefits of this local law shall inure only to employees
as defined herein, and shall not enlarge or diminish the rights of any other party nor shall any
provision of this local law be construed to affect, alter, or repeal any provision of the Workers'
Compensation Law.

claimant to give notice to Tompkins County under Section 10 of the Court of Claims Ad, Section
50-e of the General Municipal Law, or any other provision of law.

purchase insurance from any insurance company created by or under the laws of the State of New
York, or authorized by law to transact business in this state against any liability imposed by the
provisions of this local law, or to act as a self -insurer with respect thereto.

association therein named is exempt from the tax under subdivision 4 of this section.
8. Records to be Kept: Every operator shall keep records of every occupancy, of all rent
paid, charged, or due, and of the tax payable thereon, in such form as the County Administrator
may require by regulation. Such records shall be available for inspection and examination at any
time upon demand by the County Administrator or his duly authorized employee or agent, and
shall be preserved for a period of three years, except that the County Administrator may consent to
their destruction within that period or may require that they be kept longer.
9. Returns:
a. Every operator shall file with the County Administrator a return of occupancy, of
rents, and of taxes payable thereon for the periods ending February 28, May 31, August 31, and
November 30 of each year, on and after October 1, 1986. Such returns shall be filed within 20 days
from the expiration of the period covered thereby. The County Administrator may permit or
require retums to be made by other periods and upon such dates as he may specify. If the County
Administrator may permit or require returns to be made by other periods and upon such dates as
he may specify. If the County Administrator deems it necessary in order to ensure the payment of
the tax imposed by this local law, he may require returns to be made for shorter periods than those
prescribed pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this section and upon such dates a he may
specify.
b. The form of returns shall be prescribed by the County Administrator and shall
contain such information as he may deem necessary for the proper administration of this local law.
The County Administrator may require amended returns to be filed within 20 days after notice and
to contain the information specified in the notice.
c. If a return required by this local law is not filed, or a return when filed is incorrect
or insufficient on its face, the County Administrator shall take the necessary steps to enforce the
filing of such a return or of a corrected return.
10. Payment of Tax: At the time of filing a return of occupancy and of rents, each
operator shall pay to the County Administrator the taxes imposed by this local law upon rents
required to be included in such return, as well as all other monies collected by the operator acting
or purposing to act under the provisions of this local law. Where the County Administrator deems
it necessary to protect revenues to be obtained under this local law, he may require any operator
required to collect the tax imposed by this local law to file with him a bond, issued by a surety
company authorized to transact business in this state and approved by the superintendent of
insurance of this state as to solvency and responsibility, in such amount as the County
Administrator may fix to secure the payment of any tax and/or penalties and interest due or which
may become due from such operator. In the event that the County Administrator determines that
an operator is to file such a bond, he shall give notice to the operator to that effect, specifying the
amount of the bond required. The operator shall file the bond within five days after the"giving of
notice unless within those five days the operator requests in writing a hearing before the County
Administrator, at which the necessity, propriety, and amount of the bond shall be determined by
the County Administrator. This determination shall be final and shall be complied with within 15
days after the giving of notice thereof. In lieu of a bond, securities approved by the County
Administrator or cash in the amount he may prescribe may be deposited into the custody of the
County Administrator, who may at any time, without notice to the depositor, apply them to any
tax and/or interest or penalties due, and for that purpose the securities may be sold by him at
public or private sale without notice to the depositor thereof.
11. Determination of Tax: If a return required by this local law is not filed, or if a return
when filed is incorrect or insufficient, the amount of tax due shall be determined by the County
Administrator from obtainable information. If necessary, the tax may be estimated on the basis of
external indices, such as number of rooms, location, scale of rents, comparable rents, type of
accommodations and service, number of employees and/or other factors. Notice of such
458
determination shall be given to the person liable for the collection and/or payment of the tax. Such
determination shall finally and irrevocably fix the tax unless the person against whom it is
assessed, within 30 days after giving notice of such determination, applies to the County
Administrator for a hearing, or unless the County Administrator predetermines the same on his
own motion. After such a hearing, the County Administrator shall give notice of his determination
to the person against whom the tax is assessed. The determination of the County Administrator
shall be reviewable for error, illegality, unconstitutionality, or any other reason whatsoever by
proceeding under Article 78 of the Civil Practice Law and Rules if application therefor is made to
the Supreme Court within 30 days after the filing of the notice of such determination. A
proceeding under Article 78 of the Civil Practice Law and Rules shall not be instituted unless the
amount of any tax sought to be reviewed with penalties and interest thereon, if any, is first
deposited with the County Administrator and an undertaking is filed with the County
Administrator, issued by a surety company authorized to transact business in this state, approved
by the superintendent of insurance of this state as to solvency and responsibility, in an amount
approved by a Supreme Court Justice, to the effect that if the proceeding is dismissed or the tax
confirmed, the petitioner will pay all charges and costs which may accrue in the prosecution of the
proceeding, or, at the option of the applicant, such undertaking filed with the County
Administrator may be in a sum sufficient to cover the taxes, penalties, and interest thereon stated in
such determination plus the costs and charges which may accrue against it in the prosecution of the
proceeding. In that event, the applicant will not be required to deposit such taxes, penalties, and
interest as a condition precedent to the application.
12. Disposition of Revenues: All revenues resulting from the imposition of the tax under
this local law shall be paid into the treasury of the County, credited to and deposited into the
General Fund of the County, thereafter to be allocated to the Convention and Visitors Bureau
account to further the intent of this legislation as contained in Section 2 herein. This allocation
shall not include actual costs for collection and handling, which shall be retained by the County as
verified by the County Administrator; said costs and expenses of the County in administering the
tax shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the revenue in any given year.
13. Refund, Revision or Credits:
a. In the manner provided in this section, the County Administrator shall iefund or
credit, without interest, any tax, penalty, or interest erroneously, illegally, or unconstitutionally
collected or paid if application to the County Administrator for such refund is made within one
year from the payment thereof. Whenever a refund is made by the County administrator, he shall
state his reason therefor in writing. Such application may be made by the occupant, operator, or
other person who has actually paid the tax. Such application may also be made by an operator
who has collected and paid over such tax to the County Administrator, provided that the
application is made within one year of the payment by the occupant to the operator. However, no
actual refund of monies shall be made to such operator until he first establishes to the satisfaction
of the County Administrator under such regulations as the County Administrator by authority of
the Board of Representatives may prescribe, that he has repaid to the occupant the amount for
which the application for refund is made. In lieu of any refund required to be made, the County
Administrator may allow credit therefor on payments due from the applicant.
b. An application for a refund or credit made as herein provided shall be deemed an
application for a revision of any tax, penalty, or interest complained of and the County
Administrator may receive evidence with respect thereto. After making his determination, the
County Administrator shall give notice determination by a proceeding pursuant to Article 78 of the
C.P.L.R., provided the proceeding is instituted within 30 days after the giving of the notice of
determination and provided a final determination of tax due was not previously made. Such a
proceeding shall not be instituted unless an undertaking is filed with the County Administrator in
an amount and with sureties approved by a Justice of the Supreme Court to the effect that if such
proceedings are dismissed or the tax confirmed, the petitioner will pay all costs and charges that
may accrue in the prosecution of said proceeding.
c. A person shall not be entitled under this section to a revising, refund, or credit of a
tax, interest, or penalty that had been determined to be due pursuant to the provisions of Section 13
of this local law where said person has had a hearing or an opportunity for a hearing as provided
in this section, or who has failed to avail himself of the remedies provided therein. No refund or
credit of a tax, interest, or penalty paid after a determination by the County Administrator
pursuant to Section 11 of this local law shall be paid unless it is found that the determination was
erroneous, illegal, unconstitutional, or otherwise improper by the County Administrator after a
hearing or of his own motion, or in a proceeding under Article 78 of the C.P.L.R. pursuant to the
provisions of said section. In that event, refund or credit without interest shall be made of the tax,
interest, or penalty found to have been overpaid.
459
14. Remedies Exclusive: The remedies provided by Sections 11 and 13 of this local law
shall be exclusive remedies available to any person for the review of tax liability imposed by this
local law. No determination, proposed determination of tax, nor determination on any application
for refund shall be enjoined or reviewed except as hereinafter provided, by an action for
declaration or proceeding other than a proceeding in the nature of a certiorari proceeding under
Article 78 of the C.P.L.R. A taxpayer may, however, proceed by declaratory judgment if he/she
institutes suit within 30 days after a deficiency assessment is made and pays the amount of the
deficiency assessment to the County Administrator prior to the institution of such suit and posts a
bond for costs as provided in Section 11 of this local law.
15. Proceedings to Recover Tax: •
a. Whenever any operator, any officer of a corporate operator, any occupant, or other
person fails to collect and pay over any tax and/or penalty or interest as imposed by this local law,
the County Attorney shall, at the request of the County Administrator, bring or cause tb be brought •
an action to enforce the payment of same on behalf of the County in any court of the State of New
York or of any other state or of the United States. If, however, the County Administrator, in his
discretion believes that any such operator, officer, occupant, or other person is about to cease
business, leave the state, or remove or dissipate the assets out of which the tax or penalties might be
satisfied, and that any such tax or penalty will not be paid when due, he may declare such tax or
penalty to be immediately due and payable, and may issue a warrant immediately.
b. As an additional or alternate remedy, the County .Administrator may issue a
warrant, directed to the Sheriff, commanding him to levy upon and sell the real and personal
property of the operator, officer of a corporate operator, or other person liable for the tax, which •
may be found within the -County for the payment of the amount thereof, with any penalties and •
interest, to the County Administrator and to pay to him the money .collected by virtue thereof •
within 60 days after the receipt of said warrant. Within five days after the receipt of the warrant,
the Sheriff shall file a copy. of same with the County Clerk. Thereupon the Clerk shall enter in the •
judgment docket the name of the person stated in the warrant, the amount of the tax, penalties, and
interest for which the warrant is issued, and the date when such copy is filed. Thereupon the
amount of such warrant so docketed shall become a lien upon the interest in real and personal
property of the person against whom the warrant is issued. The Sheriff shall then proceed upon the.
warrant in the same manner and with like effect as that provided by law in respect to executions
issued against property upon judgments of a court of record. For services in executing the warrant
he shall be entitled to the same fees, which he may collect in the same manner. In the discretion of
the County Administrator, a warrant of like terms, force, and effect may be issued and directed to
any officer or employee of the County Administrator. In the execution thereof, such officer or ••
employee shall have all the powers conferred by law upon sheriffs, but shall be entitled to no fee or .
compensation in excess of the actual expenses paid in the performance of such duty. If a warrant is
returned not fully satisfied, the County Administrator may from time to time, issue new warrants
and shall also have the same remedies to enforce the amount due thereunder as if the County has
recovered judgment therefor and execution thereon has been returned unsatisfied.
c. Whenever an operator makes a sale, transfer, or assignment of any part or the
whole of his hotel or his lease, license, or other agreement or right to possess or operate such hotel •
or the equipment, furnishings, fixtures, supplies, or stock or merchandise, or the said premises or
lease, license or other agreement or right to possess or operate such hotel and equipment,
furnishings, fixtures, supplies and stock of merchandise pertaining to the conduct or operation of
said hotel, other than in the ordinary and regular prosecution of business, the purchaser, transferee
or assignee shall, at least ten days before taking possession of the •subject of said sale, transfer or
assignment, or before receiving payment, notify the County Administrator by registered mail of the
proposed sale and the price, terms, and conditions thereof whether or not the seller, transferer or
assignor has represented to or informed the purchaser, transferee, or assignee that it owes any tax
pursuant to this local law, whether or not the purchaser, transferee, or assignee has knowledge that
such taxes are owing, and whether any such taxes are in fact owing.
d. Whenever the seller, transferor, or assignor fails to give notice to the County
Administrator as required above, or whenever the County Administrator informs the purchaser,
transferee, or assignee that a possible claim for such tax(es) exists, any sums of money, property,
choses in action, or other consideration which the purchaser, transferee or assignee is required to
transfer over to the seller, transferor, or assignor shall be subject to a first priority right and•lien for
any such taxes theretofore or thereafter determined to be due from the seller, transferor, or assignor
to the County. The purchaser, transferee, or assignee is then forbidden to transfer to the seller,
transferor, or assignor any such•sums of money, property, or choses in action to the extent of the
amount of the County's claim. For failure, to comply with the provisions of this subdivision, the
purchaser, transferee, or assignee, in addition to being subject to the liabilities and remedies
460
imposed under the provisions of Article 6 of the Uniform Commercial Code, shall, as well as the
seller, transferor, or assignor, be personally liable for the payment to the County of any such taxes
theretofore or thereafter determined to be due to the County from the seller, transferor, or assignor.
Such liability may be assessed and enforced in the same manner as the liability for tax under this
local law.
