In all sincerity I would like to bring to your attention a fact that I hope the Board of
Representatives will include in their minutes today.
January 1, 1987 marks another milestone in the illustrious career of the Honorable
Donald J. Culligan. On this date he starts his 30th year on this Board. No other elected person
has served this long in Tompkins County history that goes back to 1817.
It is interesting to note the active part that he has taken in making Tompkins County
first in most of our hearts:
The active role in the development of Tompkins Cortland Community College as
Chairman of the Site Committee; the part he has taken in the Tompkins County Airport; the new
Community Hospital; as Chairman of the Health Committee, he was instrumental in bringing the
Mental Health Dept tiuent to its present status.
All this while being a husband, father, grandfather, Ithaca School District Director of
Athletics, basketball coach, and above all a gentlemen that has made Tompkins County a better
place to live.
Seasons Greetings to all.
(Mr. Dates had previously been the longest serving Board member.)

Mrs. Call said she was told it was going through their process before they release the
report.
Mr. Proto, Chairman of the Solid Waste Management Committee, said they were
planning a trip to Allentown, Pennsylvania to observe their baling operation. He reported on the

serious problem with the heat pump installation possibly creating delays in opening the building.
It has been resolved and it concerned the insulation in the duct work where it meets the heat
pump. February 2 is the deadline given to the contractor. Mr. Lifton questioned invoking the
5500 a day penalty. Mr. Mason said to do so we would have to show what the County has
suffered and the only additional cost would be utilities in two buildings.
Mr. Winch, Chairman of the Human Services Committee, reported he was proud of the
committee and their progress in 1986. He requested a brief executive meeting later to update the

consideration. Chairman CaII referred her request to the Budget and Administration Committee.
Mr. Lifton was concerned that Lansing should be so unequally served by the
distribution of sales tax and hopes the Budget and Administration Committee will seriously
consider the matter. He also was concerned that they still have not heard anything from Cornell

come forward with this study through March which was its delayed date, that he intends to submit

committee business. He reported they reviewed the laboratory reports on the last two

scheduled for March 27 at noon.
Mr. Mason, Chairman, Public Safety and Corrections Committee, reported they met
March 5 and discussed with Offender Aid and Restoration, the extension of their Criminal Justice
Grant and suggested they again apply for that grant. The Committee also discussed at length, the

particularly the Stop Loss Policy. He announced at their next meeting they will be talking about
the 1988 budget process and will be developing guidelines. In the past few weeks, several new
positions have been acted on and he thinks they should at least discuss the appropriateness of
considering positions at the time they are appropriating funds for the year, rather than after the
fact and relying solely on the contingency fund for accommodating those requests.
Mr. Lifton stated he hopes the Committee establishes a decision time table that would
bring the decision to the community before what normally would be Election Day for the County
were this an election year.
Mr. Heyman, County Administrator, reported on the possible impact of the Governor's

PUBLIC HEARING
PROCEDURES FOR PROCESSING COUNTY INITIATED SEQR ACTIONS
The public hearing was called to order.
A representative of the League of Women commended the County for its efforts to
adopt an Environmental Quality Review process for Tompkins County, yet they found it similar
to the initial resolution and reiterated their suggestions for improvement and urged the Board of
Representatives to adopt effective SEQR regulations at the County level.
Jean Fedula, 615 N. Aurora Street, Ithaca, expressed her support for the position of the
League of Women Voters. She feels public access to the reports is important.
No one else wished to speak and the public hearing was closed at 5:47 p.m.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. David Corliss, 588 Schaffer Road, Newfield, asked
many questions concerning the landfill sites.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Sheldon Stoff, Ithaca, commended the Solid Waste
Management Committee, but he felt at the start of the Committee's work the first task should have
been to hire an engineering firm to advise on the available alternatives for waste disposal and
would have to be one neutral to the alternatives so the final selection of method and site would be
the best available.
Under privilege of the floor, Marlee Cavanaugh, 235 Harvey Hill Road, Enfield, spoke
in opposition to the proposed site for the landfill in the Town of Enfield. She said the Enfield
Town Board passed a resolution not only opposing any site in Enfield, but also urging the
adoption of a comprehensive compensation plan for the landowners and town which must bear
the burden of the landfill, before the site is chosen. In addition, the resolution calls for a concrete
volume reduction and recycling plan before the site selection. She presented petitions opposing a
landfill site anywhere in Enfield.
Under privilege of the floor, Wilfred Drew, 301 Sheffield Road, spoke about the
contract with CSEA and Deputy Sheriffs Association.
54
April 7, 1987
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Lifton said there has been discussion among certain
Board members concerning landowners that will be disadvantaged if the landfill is located in their
neighborhood, and that there should be discussion on what can be done to diminish the sacrifice.
Mr. Proto, Chairman of the Solid Waste Management Committee, said the Committee
has been addressing those concerns and is examining the benefit -sharing proposal. He urged
Board members to contact him to address their concerns.
Under privilege of the floor, Mrs. Dietrich and Mr. Stein felt timing is very important.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Mason suggested perhaps this particular area of
discussion might be best separated from the Solid Waste Management Committee and handled
either by an ad hoc committee or perhaps the Human Services Committee.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Culligan spoke about an area of 120 acres in
Tompkins County north of the present Landstrom site. The people nearest that area are all on a
water line in West Danby. He feels they should investigate whether there is an aquifer there.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Winch said he has two resolutions passed by the
Enfield Town Board concerning the landfill and mentioned some of those concerns. He said
residents in the Town of Newfield are voicing some of the same concerns.
Under privilege of the floor, Mrs. Howell said some areas in Groton are closer to the
Town of Lansing than they are to Groton so if they are going to do benefit sharing, it might also
consider the township that is affected.
Under privilege of the floor, Mrs. Livesay felt it is important we deal with solid waste,
in some instances, before they become waste - looking at packaging, recycling, composting, eta
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Watros said they have heard a clear message from
some townships here this evening. This Board should proceed on the basis that no one wants it,
and that the Board do as many things that are practical that were suggested tonight.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Shurtleff said he agrees with Mr. Mason that we
should have a subcommittee address the issue of being fair with people and towns that are going
to eventually be host to a landfill.
Mr. Tillapaugh, Solid Waste Management Committee, reported the Committee met
March 25. There was a presentation by Ann Mathews of Cooperative Extension, which is a
presentation to acquaint the public with the basics involved in the solid waste management
program including environmental factors and design criteria. They had a representative of the
Environmental Management Council and the Coordinator of recycling in the City of Ithaca,
discuss experiences of several states and municipalities and how they handle recycling. It seemed
to be the genera! consensus of the Committee that a benefit sharing plan should and will be
considered in the near future. The Committee discussed the consulting engineer's proposal for
Phase 1I services of the project. The Committee met on April 2 and finalized a recommendation
for Phase lI program. The fourth important informational meeting was held March 25 and was
well attended by people throughout the County.

development at the airport.

they had a meeting with Monika Crispin from Cooperative Extension who wishes to have the
Agricultural District Advisory Committee regenerated because one of the Agricultural Districts is
coming up for renewal in the coming year and the County is required to go through a process of
evaluating the Agricultural. District. He asked the Board to make any recommendations for
members to that Committee.
Mr. Winch, Chairman, Human Services Committee, said they will be meeting
Thursday, and he hopes to have an update on the County Home at the next Board meeting.

reclassification of a position at Meadow House; an equipment request from Mental Health;
approval of a grant for home health services; request for a Medical Social Worker and Data
Processor. They also discussed possible day care in the hospital.
Mrs. Livesay, Chairman, Education Committee, said The Annual Report of the Library
is available. The Committee will have their May meeting at the new Cooperative Extension
building. She said she will request an executive session later in the meeting regarding
information on negotiations.
Mr. Watros, Chairman, Budget and Administration Committee, reported they will meet
Monday and discuss budget guidelines for 1988 which will include items they had before and
maybe expand to include approval of additional positions at the time they consider budget
adjustment requests rather than at a later time. They also will be discussing funding levels and a
calendar of events.

TOWN OF CAROLINE 1987 REQUEST - SUMMARY
PROJECT NO. 1
Continual erosion in the Six Mile Creek watershed results in considerable
gravel deposits as well as the trees and debris in the channel. This pro-
ject is to continue the program of removing these objects, thereby
increasing capacity and decreasing the likelihood of flooding. The work
will be accomplished on 3 - 5 sites in the stretch between about 100 yards
upstream of the Middaugh Road bridge downstream to the Caroline Town line
west of Brooktondale_
Estimated Total Cost $3,000
Proposed County Share $1,500
SEQR submitted; Permits required.
PROJECT NO. 2
There is a severe problem of erosion of the fine gravel and silt escarp-
ment next to the 600 Road bridge on Six Mile Creek. Estimates indicate
that approximately 19,000 cubic yards of material have washed into the
stream each year in recent times. Much of that material is probably
carried downstream to and deposited in the City of Ithaca public water
supply reservoirs, where it contributes to the periodic expense of dredging.
The Town proposes to redirect the stream away from the escarpment into the
old streambed. The resulting streambed location would be stabilized by
installing 8' x 2' x 2' concrete blocks as a retaining structure and
allowing the eroding escarpment to gradually fill in as a less steep,
stabilized slope behind the blocks. Only two courses of blocks would be
installed in 1987. The intent is to continue installing new tiers in
future years as needed. Funding is being requested now for only the first
two courses,

PROJECT
This project is intended to improve the drainage system in the Eastern
Heights (Hungerford Hill to Six Mile Creek) area of the Town. Instal-
lation of 300' of 54" storm sewer is proposed to carry the very erosive
output from the upstream drainage components of this steep, erosive
area, including land in both the Towns of Dryden and Ithaca. The drain-
ageway leads to one of the major -sized culvert crossings under Rt. 79
recently installed by New York State.

EXHIBIT A - Resolution No. 152
VILLAGE OF CAYUGA HEIGHTS 1987 REQUEST - SUMMARY
PROJECT
Erosion and other natural processes along the steep streams in the
Village result in accumulation of rock, gravel, deadfalls (tree
trunks, limbs, etc.) and other debris on the stream beds_ During
storm conditions, such debris is washed downstream toward culverts
and may easily block the passage of the stream water through the
culverts, thereby causing flooding of the adjacent land and road
structures. This project is to clear about 3,000 feet of stream
beds upstream of the culverts under Lower Remington Road_ The
effect will be to increase capacity and decrease the likelihood of
flooding and associated damage to the road. The project is also
intended to move some of the materials in the streambed of Renwick
Creek adjacent to the concrete structure built with the 1985 program
funds.

VILLAGE OF DRYDEN 1987 REQUEST - SUMMARY
PROJECT
During the October 1981 flood, some of the most severe damage from
Virgil Creek was near the Dryden Department of Public Works facility
on South Street. Severe stream bank erosion occurred, also carrying
with it Village equipment and stockpiles of gravel, sand, topsoil,
etc. Although the Village has since restored the stream bank, no bank
stabilization structure was built, thereby leaving the Pillage liable
to similar damagein another flood. This project proposal is to acquire
and install large concrete blocks as a stabilization structure.

Under privilege of the floor, Michael Stamm, Executive Director, Tompkins County
Area Development, updated the Board on their activities.
Under privilege of the floor, Bill Benjamin, President of the Newfield School Board,
spoke on behalf of the Newfield Town and School about the tragic loss of five young people in
their community in the past ten months and some of the deaths were alcohol related. He read a
resolution asking the Board to increase the presence of law enforcement officials in Tompkins
County between the hours of 6 p.m. and 2 a.m. and increase the number of police road checks.
Chairman Call referred the resolution to the Public Safety and Corrections Committee.
Under privilege of the floor, Marlee Cavanaugh, 235 Harvey Hill Road, Enfield, spoke
about the landfill benefit sharing proposal.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Winch said there is going to be a lot of discussion in
Newfield both at the town and school level and he hopes with the assistance of the Sheriffs
Department, State Police and Stop DWI, that they will be able to change the attitudes in Newfield
and definitely be able to save lives.
Mr. Proto, Chairman, Solid Waste Management Committee, reported that he and Frank
Liguori attended another meeting with the five -county group regarding the potential for the burn
waste -to -energy facility in the Chemung County area. The joint City/County Ad Hoc Committee
met last Friday and discussed various locations that the City may consider for a joint facility for
recycling as well as for a potential baling station. They are proceeding with NYSERDA grants
that they received approval on for the leachate study and composting project. Also, the office
paper recycling project is proceeding. He mentioned that Mr. Jones from the engineering firm,
and Ms. Potts, the Geologist, have both agreed to attend a meeting if the Board would like them
to, regarding a concern about on-site visits by the public.
Mr. Tillapaugh, Chairman, Public Works Committee, reported they met and most of
their action is reflected on the agenda. In addition, after the bridge accident occurred on the New
York State Thruway, the New York State Department of Transportation had an inspection of all
bridges in New York State. They found three bridges in Tompkins County in the Town of
Groton, Town of Ulysses and Village of Trumansburg. The bridges were inspected again and are
not a concern at the present time. He announced Jeff Paddock, Highway Engineer, has recently
been appointed Public Works Commissioner in Ontario County.
Mr. Mason, Chairman, Public Safety and Corrections Committee, reported they met and
there are resolutions on the agenda. In addition, there was discussion of an incident in the Town
of Caroline and the Town of Dryden resulting from a bicycle race which created major problems
and concerns in that area for public safety and public access. They have asked the County
Attorney to explore development of an ordinance which would bring some regulation to special
events that might be held on highways within the County. He has received a memo from the
County's Risk Management Consultant asking that the County Attorney expand his review to
include regulations for other special events, concerts, etc. to be held in the County. Regarding
Newfield's citizens concerns, they have asked the County Administrator's office to undertake a
review of personnel needs in the Sheriff's Department and it is underway.

Human Services Committee has an item on the agenda regarding PINS Adjustment Services Act.
He reported he attended the Social Services Advisory Council meeting and there was a
presentation regarding Delaware County's Foster Care Program.
Mrs. Livesay, Education Committee, reported they had word from the Department of
Labor that the AVE grant has been funded.
Mr. Watros, Chairman, Budget and Administration Committee, spoke about the concern
of Mrs. Sacket about the purchase of property through tax sale. It was discussed and referred to
the County Attorney to try to negotiate a settlement acceptable to both parties. In addition, they
discussed the traffic circulation study for the East Ithaca Corridor. They had a report from the
Risk Manager relative to a quote for Stop Clause Insurance. It wasn't recommended and there
was no action. He also mentioned the benefit sharing package, which was referred to Committee
at the last meeting, was discussed as well as other proposals put forth. The Committee decided
not to act on it as they felt it was premature.
Regarding renovation of County office space, Mr. Heyman, County Administrator,
announced the Nutrition Program moved last week. Most of the Assessment Department will be
moving to their new quarters tomorrow. The rest will be moving soon. He also spoke about
alcohol damage and abuse and the amount of time, County money and staff energy expended in
Mental Health, Social Services, Public Health and Sheriffs Department on that particular
problem.
Mr. Williamson, County Attorney, updated the Board in the American Cable case.
Mr. Watros gave an update regarding the study of the selection of attorneys for self

Excused: 2 (Representatives Howell and Stein). Resolution adopted.
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Board of Representatives has indicated its intention
to site a new landfill by June 1988 in one of more than 20 different rural locations within the
County, and
WHEREAS, many County residents are troubled that those who live near the selected
location will have to make sacrifices so that the rest of the County may have this benefit, and
WHEREAS, the urgency of this issue has highlighted the need for an official public
policy that would diminish the sacrifice required of a small group of citizens, and
WHEREAS, many County residents and municipalities have asked the County Board to
take measures to lessen the hardships that these impacted neighbors will have to bear and thus
seem to be willing to share in the burden, and
WHEREAS, County Board members, other municipal Boards, and the public have been
generous in responding to requests by the Solid Waste Management Committee cm ways and
means of achieving a more balanced sharing of the burden, and these have been studied and
considered by the Solid Waste Management Committee for several months, and
WHEREAS, the Committee has discussed these concepts at its regular meetings and
more recently at three open sessions where these proposals were further discussed, studied, and
debated, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Solid Waste Management Committee, That the
Board of Representatives commits itself to the following measures which are designed to share
the impacts and benefits more equitably throughout the County:
1. LANDFILL SITE AND APPROACH ROADS. The County and the host town or
towns shall determine a mutually agreeable method of maintaining the main off-site approach
roads leading to the landfill site. This could include the County assuming total responsibility for
the main off-site approach roads, not including State roads. A mutually agreeable method of
controlling dust and litter on the approach roads used by haulers to the site shall also be
determined. The County shall designate truck routes for vehicles involved in baling (if that
technology is selected). The County shall provide a landscaped, attractive paved entrance/exit
access road leading from the off-site approach roads to the site. The County shall also provide an
environmentally acceptable buffer to the operating landfill to minimize noise and visual impacts.
The landfill shall be operated in a way that will minimize the negative effects of gulls, vermin,
site litter, and odors.
2. CITIZEN'S ADVISORY COMMITTEE. A Citizen's Advisory Committee
shall be created by the Board of Representatives after the preferred site has been selected. The
role of this Committee shall be advisory to the Board of Representatives thru the Solid Waste
Management Committee and the Public Works Committee. The responsibility of the Citizen's
Advisory Committee shall not only include the planning and design phases, but shall also be
expanded to include the operation and maintenance of the landfill site after construction, and shall
include comment on aspects related to planning, design, and operation and maintenance of the
proposed landfill site and the approach roads leading thereto.
123
June 16, 1987
3. OFF-SITE BALING OF SOLID WASTES. Off-site baling will decrease volume
consistent with the New York State Solid Waste Management Plan, increase control of litter and
vermin, has the potential for reduction of traffic volume to the landfill, and simplify operations at
the operating landfill including proper covering. Therefore, the Board of Representatives
commits to the concept of off-site baling as a part of the Tompkins County Solid Waste
Management Program, assuming a favorable evaluation by our consulting engineers and the New
York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
4. OFF-SITE WELL MONITORING.
a. The County shall survey, including testing, private existing wells (with permission
of the owners) in the vicinity of the proposed prior to landfill construction to determine the (pre -
landfill) status of the water system. The distance from the landfill shall be determined by the
Solid Waste Management Committee upon advice of the County Health Depai talent, Citizen's
Advisory Committee, and Budget and Administration Committee. The cost shall be charged to
the landfill construction costs.
b. The County Health Department shall continue to test wells in the area under its
normal procedures whether previously inspected prior to construction or not.
c. The County shall thereafter consider testing wells or surface water if requested by
the Citizen's Advisory Committee and upon recommendation of the County Health Department.
d. If contamination is determined by either the County Health Department or the
New York State Department of Environmental Conservation to be caused by landfill operations,
the County shall supply potable water to the affected property in an amount sufficient for its then
use, until corrected.
5. RECYCLING OF MATERIALS. The Solid Waste Management Plan shall include
appropriate measures to recycle materials as a conservation measure and to reduce the quantity of
waste which must be buried in a landfill, and in addition, other means of solid waste volume
reduction will continue to be explored, including composting, baling, incineration, and package
legislation. (See Resolution No. 68 of 1987)
6. ASSESSMENT REDUCTION. The County shall assure that properties within the
vicinity of the landfill, which may be impacted by the site, shall have full opportunity for a re-
evaluation of the appraised value of property for tax assessment purposes, on a case-by-case
basis, through the County Assessment Department review procedures already in place.
7. LAND OWNER COMPENSATION. It is the intention of the County Board that
owners of property within the impacted vicinity of the landfill site shall be given an opportunity
to negotiate fair compensation with the County to offset any determined adverse impacts. The
County shall develop a program for determining criteria for judging the severity of these impacts
for compensatory purposes, including buy-out criteria for extreme cases, when the landfill site is
chosen. The program shall be presented for comment at a public hearing prior to 'Board of
Representatives approval. In the development of the program, a time limit shall be considered for
each portion thereof. The County Attorney shall advise the County Board on the legality of any
program.
8. MUNICIPAL COMPENSATIONS. The town in which the landfill site is located
and any other directly affected municipality or taxing entity in the immediate vicinity of the
landfill site may experience some adverse impacts from a County landfill. In order to offset these
impacts, the County Board of Representatives intends to make compensation to the town and any
other agreed upon affected municipality or taxing entity under an agreement to be negotiated with
same, in a manner to be established annually. Said offset compensation may be used for any legal
general purposes.
9. TIPPING FEES. The principal purpose of tipping fees should be as a method
of allocation of costs for a solid waste management program on a user basis as opposed to
financing thru general taxation. Although tipping fees may be useful as an incentive tool to
influence volume reduction, tipping fees per se are not a necessary feature of a recycling program.
Therefore, volume reduction should not be the principal reason for establishing tipping fees. The
question of tipping fees needs considerable study to weigh the advantages, disadvantages, and
cost/benefits and will be considered at an early but later date. Discussions would appropriately
124
June 16, 1987
involve the Budget and Administration Committee, the Public Works Committee, other
municipalities, and collectors. (Ref.: Res. No. 157)

Under privilege of the floor, Christine Rumsey, a young child who lives at 182

office in the western part of the County. They also met with Sheriff Howard concerning his
request for additional deputy sheriffs for the road patrol. The artwork has been installed in the

Mr. Stein withdrew a Resolution from the agenda entitled "Establish Public Hearing on
New York State Electric and Gas Corporation Contract".
It was Moved by Mr. Tillapaugh, seconded by Mr. Proto, that resolutions entitled
"Change Order - Fuel Tank Replacement - Highway Department" and "Acceptance of Federal
Aviation Administration Grant Offer For Purchase of Crash/Fire/Rescue Vehicle - AIP No. 07-
87". Unanimously adopted by voice vote.
RESOLUTION NO. 250 - AUTHORIZATION TO EXECUTE CONTRACT AIRPORT
PARKING
Moved by Mr. Tillapaugh, seconded by Mr. True. Mr. Stein said he wanted it clearly
understood that there is no commitment at all to deal with the parking meters as part of the
contract. He also felt the term of the contract - five years plus five-year option, is too long. Mrs.
Livesay addressed the terms of the contract. She felt that the rate schedule is very unfavorable to
people who pick up or drop off people at the Airport. Mr. True said he felt people make their
decision based on fares and number of flights, not by the parking. Regarding the option clause,
he said the option clause must be agreed to by both parties and at the end of five years they would
again take up the issue of whether to renew. It is not just at the vendor's discretion, so it really is
a five-year contract. Mr. Watros was concerned about the convenience aspect. He felt what is
being proposed is not convenient to the user of the Airport. He felt to prohibit parking in a very
highly accessible arca adjacent to the front door and use it for some other purpose at the expense
of the user seems inappropriate. He would like to see further discussion. Mr. Mason was
concerned about the convenience and to be able to pick up and drop people off without having to
go to the lot. Mr. Tillapaugh spoke about the parking meters and the lack of enforcement and
loss of income. He said the only available place for picking up and dropping off people is the
metered area. It was Moved by Mr. Winch, seconded by Mrs. Livesay to table this resolution to
the October 6, 1987 Board meeting. Adopted by voice vote with Mr. Culligan and Mr.
Tillapaugh voting no. (Resolution No. 250 was adopted October 6, 1987.)
WHEREAS, a public hearing with full opportunity for discussion has been held on a
proposed contract for Airport Parking with "M" Parking Corporation of Syracuse, and
WHEREAS, said contract renews the contract with "M" Parking Corporation for an
additional five years with renewal option, a copy of which is on file with the Clerk of the Board,

REGULAR MEETING
Chairman Call called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m.
Members and guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Present: 14 (Representative Lifton arrived at 5:35 p.m.). Excused: 1 (Representative
Culligan).
Under privilege of the floor, Ric Dietrich, a representative of the Danby Town Board,
said he feels that the landfill site selection process has been fair, but he feels that the inclusion at
this date of Landstrom as a possible landfill site would be a violation of good faith and basic
fairness to the process.
Under privilege of the floor, Joel Gangon, 2353 Spencer Road, said he feels that the
landfill site selection process has been conducted in a sensible manner, but he believes that to
consider the Landstrom site at this date would circumvent the labor and expense of the entire
evaluation procedure.
Under privilege of the floor, Brian Caldwell, Walding Lane, West Danby, said he
believes that the Landstrom Landfill should be properly capped within the original timeframe,
and he objected to the possibility of locating another landfill in the same vicinity as Landstrom.
Under privilege of the floor, Beatrice Schwoerer of Enfield, presented the Board with
background information and accident statistics for routes to the proposed EN -3 landfill site.
Under privilege of the floor, Gerald Decker, Hillview Road, said he is appalled at the
possibility of extending the use of the Landstrom Landfill, especially because of the serious
water pollution it is causing.
Under privilege of the floor, Gretchen Herrmann, 433 Bostwick Road (EN -3),
expressed her concerns about the environmental implications of locating a landfill at the top of a
populated, steep hill.
Under privilege of the floor, Jan Jolles, 405 Nelson Road, said he feels that both the
current Landstrom Landfill site and the proposed new Landstrom site arc unacceptable for use as
landfills because they are situated on a principle aquifer, and he feels that testing substandard
sites undermines the site selection process.
Under privilege of the floor, William Gibson, 101 Poole Road, said he is opposed to the
location of a landfill at the proposed EN -3 site, and he said he feels that the Board has an
obligation to institute a countywide recycling program.
Under privilege of the floor, Lec Multari, Hillview Road, said his concern is that a
leachate collection and treatment system be implemented at the Landstrom Landfill as soon as
possible.
Under privilege of the floor, Dwight Widger, Lower Creek Road, President of the Etna
Community Association, read a resolution unanimously adopted by the Etna Community
Association in opposition to the placement of the Tompkins County landfill in the proposed DR -7
location.
Under privilege of the floor, Amari Meader, 123 Upper Creek Road, said she does not
feel that the DR -7 site or any of the other sites currently under consideration are appropriate for
210
October 20, 1987
the location of the new landfill, and she urged the Board to continue to search for a more suitable
site.
Under privilege of the floor, Nancy Russell, 309 Michigan Hollow Road, Town of
Spencer, said she is working with many other residents of the Town of Spencer who are not
interested in sharing a landfill with Tompkins County and are working to eliminate the possibility
of using the Landstrom property as a site for present or future landfills.
Under privilege of the floor, Elizabeth Pearson of Dryden urged the Board not to
eliminate proposed landfill sites for the wrong reasons.
Under privilege of the floor, Nancy Ten Kate, 235 Wood Road, said that all of the
reasons mentioned for not locating the landfill at the sites proposed in Enfield and Danby --traffic,
water, and new construction --also apply to the Dryden sites.
Under privilege of the floor, Bill Lowe, 450 Wood Road, said he is opposed to locating
a new landfill near the former landfill because he feels that would compound the leachate and
pollution problems already in existence.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Proto thanked the residents of the Town of Danby for
expressing their opinions on the landfill issue.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Mason informed the Board of the critical shortage of
foster care families for teenage children in Tompkins County. Commissioner Dolan informed the
Board of the recruitment and training practices of the Department of Social Services in regard to
the foster care program.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Watros informed the Board that in addition to the
people who spoke at the public meetings, many Dryden residents are submitting written
objections to the proposed DR -7 landfill site.
Under privilege of the floor, Mrs. Livesay encouraged County residents to inform the
Board of any information they feel the Board might be overlooking in regard to the landfill site
selection process.
Chairman Call informed the Board that she gave the welcoming address at the "Youth
Speakout on Teen Pregnancy," a statewide conference hosted in Tompkins County.
Mr. Proto, Chairman of the Solid Waste Management Committee, updated the Board on
recent committee business, and he said he spoke with officials of Solid Waste Industries, Inc.,
who informed him that they have acquired an undisclosed site in Tompkins County for
construction of a privately -owned landfill.
Mr. Mason, Chairman of the Public Safety and Corrections Committee, said that in
addition to the business reflected on the agenda, the committee voted to reactivate the Arson Task
Force.
Mr. Stein, Chairman of the Planning and Development Committee, updated the Board
on recent committee business and said the committee discussed information pertaining to a piece
of property located in the Town of Lansing and the Town of Groton which is being made
available to Onondaga County for disposal of sludge. There was discussion, and Chairman Call
said the County's environmental attorney is drafting legislation relating to this matter.

(There was a recess from 7:40 - 7:50 p.m. Mr. True was excused at 8:16 p.m.) Ann Scheinberg,
Recycling Consultant, discussed the recycling section of the Phase II Report and answered
questions.
It was the consensus of the Board to add to the Phase II Solid Waste Management
Program Report all resolutions adopted by the Board concerning Solid Waste Management. Mr.
Watros said he will oppose this resolution because he feels there are substantial flaws in the
Report, and he is dissatisfied with the siting process. Mr. Tillapaugh said he will oppose this
resolution because he feels it is an unfair burden to the residents of the Town of Dryden who have
lived with a landfill for 15 years. He urged the Board to take the time and effort to explore
additional sites. Following discussion, James Dwyer, Environmental Attorney, said that
accepting this report allows the Board to receive public comment on the report. A roll call vote
was taken on the resolution. Ayes: 11 (Representatives Winch, Dietrich, Howell, Lifton,
Livesay, Mason, Nichols, Proto, Shurtleff, Stcin and Call). Noes: 2 (Representatives Watros and
Tillapaugh). Excused: 2 (Representatives True and Culligan). Adopted.

Phase II Solid Waste Management Program Report to all Board members for review and
comment, and
WHEREAS, the Report was preceded by the Phase I Report which was previously
accepted by the Board, and
WHEREAS, the Phase II Report was prepared by Consulting Engineers O'Brien and
Gere and fulfills the Scope of Study previously agreed upon, and
WHEREAS, the Report outlines a Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Program
together with estimated costs including the results of hydrogeological and environmental
assessment of landfill sites, a centralized baling/transfer facility and a recycling program, now
therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Solid Waste Management Committee, That the
Phase 11 Report is hereby accepted and the County Administrator is authorized to make final
payment to the consultants, subject to audit by the committee.

REGULAR MEETING
Chairman Call called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m.
Members and guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance.
Present: 15 Representatives.
On motion of Mr. Stein, seconded by Mrs. Dietrich, the meeting was adjourned to the
Courtroom for Privilege of the Floor (5:36 p.m.).
Under privilege of the floor, Marty Utter, 468 West Dryden Road, said she objects to
the construction of another landfill in the Dryden area.
Under privilege of the floor, Ronald Krantz, Sheffield Road, informed the Board of his
criticism of the Phase II Solid Waste Management Report, particularly concerning the proposed
EN -3 site.
Under privilege of the floor, Tom Pendell, 484 Caswell Road, submitted pictures of the
Caswell Road Landfill taken on August 4, 1985.
Under privilege of the floor, Mahlon Perkins, Town of Dryden Attorney, read a
resolution adopted by the Dryden Town Board opposing a landfill in Dryden.
Under privilege of the floor, Nancy Ten Kate, 235 Wood Road, said she feels that,
according to information in the Phase I Solid Waste Management Report, the DR -7 site should be
excluded from consideration as a possible location for the landfill.
Under privilege of the floor, Douglas Weatherby, Wood Road, presented petitions
urging the Board to discontinue further consideration of the DR -7 landfill site, and he said he
feels that the DR -7 site should be removed from consideration based on information presented in
the Phase 1 Solid Waste Management Report concerning proximity to an airport.
Under privilege of the floor, Amari Meader of Etna said she feels that the location of a
landfill at either DR -2, DR -7 or EN -3 would financially and emotionally cripple existing
neighborhoods, and she urged the Board to continue to search for a truly isolated site.
Under privilege of the floor, David Christie, 227 Bone Plain Road, said that DR -2 is a
very wet area and inappropriate for the location of a landfill, and he said he has serious concerns
about the engineering reports and site selection process.
Under privilege of the floor, Gretchen Herrmann, 433 Bostwick Road, said that locating
a landfill at the EN -3 site would cause great financial losses to both residents and the County as
well as hamper future growth in that area. She also requested that the population statistics being
compiled by the Planning Department be included as part of the Phase 11 Solid Waste
Management Report.
Under privilege of the floor, Max Brunner, Wood Road, spoke against locating a
landfill on a site close to waterways because of the potential for pollution.
Under privilege of the floor, Elizabeth Clapp, 227 Bone Plain Road, expressed her
concerns about the landfill siting process and urged the Board to take the time necessary to
review all options and find the best possible location for a landfill, because she does not feel that
DR -2 or DR -7 are suitable sites.
233
November 17, 1987
Under privilege of the floor, Lee Multari, 135 Hillview Road, expressed his concern
that a leachate collection and treatment system be constructed at the Landstrom Landfill as soon
possible to safeguard the Cayuga Inlet Trout Fishery and Cayuga Lake.
Under privilege of the floor, Robert Bland, Bone Plain Road, expressed his concerns
about the site selection process and the Phase II Solid Waste Management Report and said he
does not feel that any of the three remaining proposed landfill sites are acceptable.
Under privilege of the floor, Vicki Bland, 289 Bald Hill Road, said she feels it is unfair
to again place the burden of a landfill on the town of Dryden, and she said a central
baling/transfer station located in the City of Ithaca would reduce traffic and is the only fair
solution to the residents living near the new landfill site.
Under privilege of the floor, Sharon Buechel of Dryden said she does not feel that
either of the two proposed Dryden sites are suitable locations for a landfill, and she feels it is
unfair to burden Town of Dryden residents with another landfill when they are still living with
the consequences of the County's previous landfill.
Under privilege of the floor, Andy Moerlein, 690 North Wood Road, said there has
been a significant increase in activity in the neighborhood since the unregulated Caswell Road
Landfill was closed, and he feels that locating another landfill in that area would hurt many
people.
Under privilege of the floor, Al Ganert, Caswell Road, said he is concerned about
locating a landfill on a wetland when there appears to be doubt about whether the integrity of the
landfill's liner can be maintained.
Under privilege of the floor, Brian Earle of West Dryden said he docs not feel that
timing should take precedence over a quality decision.
Under privilege of the floor, Susan Lowe, 450 North Wood Road, said she operates a
horse farm and riding ranch which will be adversely affected by the location of a landfill nearby.
Under privilege of the floor, Charles Elrod, 40 Caswell Road, said that the consequence
of leachate seeping into neighbors wells would be unavoidable if the landfill were located on the
Dryden sites given the high water tables in this area.
The meeting was recessed at 6:36 p.m. and reconvened in Board Chambers at 6:41 p.m.
Mr. Proto, Chairman of the Solid Waste Management Committee, updated the Board on
current and upcoming committee business.
Mr. Tillapaugh, Chairman of the Public Works Committee, said that in addition to the
business that is reflected on the agenda, the committee discussed control tower coverage at the
Tompkins County Airport. He said that USAir has agreed to modify their elevation requirements
to correspond to federal regulations, which would alleviate landing problems when the control
tower is closed. Mr. Tillapaugh said that the Federal Aviation Administration will be requested
to extend the hours of the control tower personnel.
Mr. Mason, Chairman of the Public Safety and Corrections Committee, said the
committee will hold a special meeting to discuss overcrowding at the Public Safety Building.
Mr. Winch, Chairman of the Human Services Committee, informed the Board of the
status of the former residents and employees of the Tompkins County Home.

benefits proposal.

code restrictions, and he said that the County's United Way campaign has been very successful.

impacts on a large and important part of the Town of Dryden which is undergoing a renaissance of single
family and residential development following the closing of the Caswell Road dump and no consideration
have been give to the economic impact on the Town of Dryden including the fact that the same area housed
the Caswell Road dump, and
WHEREAS, the Board of Representatives has not considered sites outside of the County of Tompkins or the

RESOLUTION NO. 333 - SELECTION OF DR -2 AS A PREFERRED SANITARY LANDFILL
SITE FOR TOMPKINS COUNTY AND ESTABLISHING A
PROGRAM FOR RECYCLING, VOLUME REDUCTION AND
REFUSE TRANSFER
Moved by Mr. Proto, seconded by Mr. Truc. Mr. Stein stated he is not voting for either the DR -2
or DR -7 landfill site. The reason is he feels the Board has not made the best decision and that the Board
should go back and look at other sites. Mrs. Livesay stated that the Board basically has two choices tonight;
designate one of three questionable sites and proceed to the environmental impact statement, or designate a
site tonight and proceed with the SEQR determinations and simultaneously resume testing several sites. She
advocated the latter course, but she fears she cannot agree for any of the sites. The Board must begin at once
to implement plans for recycling, baling, composting, and any other schemes for waste reduction. Mrs.
1 -Sowell stated that the Board has to rely on the engineers judgement that these sites are indeed permittablc.
People must make a conscientious effort to reduce throw away so our cost in landfills can last longer. She felt
the Board should choose a site and move ahead on the course the Board has started. 1t was Moved by Mr.

EVALUATION OF THE LANDSTROM SITE AS A POSSIBLE SITE
FOR THE TOMPKINS COUNTY LANDFILL
Moved by Mr. Tillapaugh, seconded by Mr. Culligan, Mr. Tillapaugh stated he was in favor of
resuming consideration of the Landstrom site. He said the site was serviced by a major New York. State
Highway and that a road can be constructed so that vehicles hauling solid waste would not pass by a
residential dwelling, He feels an investigation should continue parallel to the other work that would have to
be done. Mr. Proto stated he does not want the Board members and the citizens of Tompkins County to think
the Caswell Road landfill has taken 100 percent of the County's solid waste. He said the Planning
Department figures show that in 1970 the County sited and used three landfills as follows:
Landstrom serviced 57%
Seymour serviced l0%
Caswell serviced 33%

landfill, and
WHEREAS, William Landstrom has expressed an interest in developing a new landfill for the
exclusive use of Tompkins County residents, and
WHEREAS, a recently completed study indicated that the subsurface conditions of Mr.
Landstrom's site may be conducive to a landfill, and
WHEREAS, there are no insurances that any of the three sites recommended in the Phase II Report
will get DEC approval, now therefore be it
333
December 7, 1987
RESOLVED, That the engineers be directed to provide a final determination of the suitability of
the Landstrom site by subsurface testing as well as the permeability of the soil above the subsurface and other
factors that would determine whether or not the site is suitable for a landfill,
RESOLVED, further, That said testing at the Landstrom site is to be conducted while other on-
going site investigation work in the County continues,
RESOLVED, further, That an application be prepared and submitted to DEC if said tests confirm
suitability of said site.

Mason to Table this resolution to the December 15, 1987 Board meeting due to the lateness of the hour. A
roll call vote was taken. Ayes: 1 (Representatives True). Noes: 14. Motion lost. Friendly amendment
offered by Mr. Mason to delete the following WI-IEREAS: "WHEREAS, the application of the DEC siting
criteria, developed to assist and guide us in this quest, leaves us in doubt at this time that we have under
present consideration a site which can be developed into an environmentally safe landfill, and." Resolution
adopted unanimously by voice vote.
WHEREAS, this Board wishes to provide responsible leadership to its constituents in disposing of
solid wastes in the most environmentally safe manner, and
WHEREAS, continuing operation of the existing Landstrom site presents potential for
environmental degradation according to the new DEC standards, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the Tompkins County Board of Representatives hereby commits itself to
proceeding immediately with the development of a transfer and baling station and the implementation of its
recycling program. '

Dietrich, Lifton, Livesay, Nichols, Stein, and Watros). Motion to Table passed.
WHEREAS, the whole County and all of its citizens benefit from a County -wide solid waste
management system, and
WHEREAS, the County recognizes that a smaller number of citizens will carry a disproportionate
share of the negative effects of the new landfill, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the Tompkins County Board of Representatives intends to design a more
specific plan to assure that the County as a whole shall evenly carry the full financial costs of solid waste
disposal. Every aspect of this plan shall be designed to minimize unfair costs to persons negatively affected
by landfill siting,
RESOLVED, further, That the plan will be in accord with all state and federal laws and shall be
written with the assistance of the Citizens Advisory Committee and experts in law, real estate appraisal,
economics and solid waste management,
RESOLVED, further, That the plan will provide appropriate monetary compensation to affected
parties for their individual costs. Such parties shall include, but not be limited to, townships (for lost tax
income, road repair), property owners and businesses (for lost property value and/or incurred expenses), and
tenants (for moving costs and/or incurred expenses). The plan shall be flexible enough to cover with equal
fairness people who choose to live under duress and those who choose to move,
334
December 7, 1987
RESOLVED, further, That the plan shall be designed so that no person or business can unfairly
profit from cost-sharing payments,
RESOLVED, further, That the Citizens Advisory Committee be constituted by the first County
Board meeting of January 1988 or within two weeks of site selection {whichever is later), that more detailed
work in the analysis and development of this plan begin within two weeks of that date, and that a detailed
plan shall be presented to the County Board at the time of the environmental impact statement.

like them to call her in the Board of Representatives office, and she would have someone
investigate it.
Under privilege of the floor, Kenneth Tillapaugh spoke to the Board in regard to
agriculture. Mr. Tillapaugh indicated he attended the Farm -of -the -Year Dinner and the recipient

presented an article from the Ithaca Journal reporting on Louis Pat Bush's life as a farmer.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Lifton thanked the Board for excusing him so he could
join his family in lighting the first menorah of the Hanukkah. He then spoke briefly on the
history and meaning of Hanukkah.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Stein explained to the Board that he was annoyed with
the Ithaca Journal because the newspaper is not recyclable. He pointed out that he would like the
appropriate committee to take action on this issue.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Winch spoke to the Board about his concerns with the
solid waste problem in this County. His main concern is the cost of transporting solid waste to
other counties.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Watros said he would like the Board to consider
adding Resolution No. 331 which has been simplified to tonight's agenda.
Mr. Proto, Chairman of the Solid Waste Management Committee, said their meeting is
scheduled for December 16, 1987 at noon in the SADD Conference Room. He also said the
Committee has just about completed their charge for 1987 and will be asking for a new charge
next year.
Mr. Tillapaugh, Chairman of the Public Works Committee, said the Committee met on
December 4, 1987 and there are resolutions on tonight's agenda. Mr. Tillapaugh stated the staff
met with DEC. The DEC is requiring the County to obtain and comply with a six month
extension for operating the Landstrom landfill. The Committee discussed the proposals for the

majority of Tompkins county residents, and those lands being predominantly in the Town of
Spencer, in Tioga County, crossing into the Town of Danby in Tompkins County, and
WHEREAS, Tompkins County has spent under contract with the Landstrom Gravel
Company, Inc. approximately 52,700,000 for trash disposal from 1970 to 1986, and

said Landstrom Gravel Company, Inc. site in the fall of 1985 upon closure of the Caswell
Landfill in the Town of Dryden, and
WHEREAS, Tompkins County assumed responsibility for site operation, leasing said
site from Landfill, Inc., a corporation whose management and ownership appears to be consistent
with Landstrom Gravel Company, Inc., in July of 1986 at a cost of approximately $ 340,000 per
year, and
WHEREAS, said Landstrom Gravel Company site, now operated by Tompkins County,
does in fact sit astride both the Tompkins and Tioga County borders, impacting the Towns of

WHEREAS, Tompkins County has been offered lands owned by the Landstrom Gravel
Company, Inc. in the Township of Danby for the future location of the Tompkins County landfill,

O'Brien & Gere, Inc., engineers retained by Tompkins County to locate lands having
characteristics consistent with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation's

December 15, 1987
criteria for siting landfills, because data suggest these lands lie over a principal aquifer; are
proximate to protected, designated wetlands; indications of shallow depth to bedrock; areas
designated as unique arc adjacent to portions of the site, and nearby hydrogeologic studies
indicate the presence of coarse materials that could rapidly transmit pollutants to a distant,
downgradient aquifer, and
WHEREAS, the site owner disagreed with the principal aquifer designation, it was
indicated that said owner should undertake such tests at its own cost in order to address the New
York State Department of Environmental Conservation's designation, and that criteria for said
testing should be agreed upon between the site owner and the Depattnient of Environmental
Conservation, and should also address those other designated concerns, and
WHEREAS, the County -retained engineers, at the suggestion of this Board, re-
evaluated the proposed Landstrom Gravel Company owned site, without consideration for the
principal aquifer, to determine if said site's rating could then justify its inclusion on the site list,
the result of said re-evaluation scoring site lower than any of the other potential sites, and
WHEREAS, the Solid Waste Management Committee in July 1987 encouraged, by
resolution, any property owner desirous of having their property being given further
consideration as a future landfill site, test their property, at their own expense, in a manner
consistent with the present County testing procedures, submitting results to the Solid Waste
Management Committee for review by October 1987, and subsequently extended this deadline to
November 1987, and
WHEREAS, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation appears
steadfast in its resolve to retain the present designations in place on said potential site unless
evidence with which they agree proves otherwise, and meets their constraints, and
WHEREAS, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has
expressed these concerns most recently at an October 27, 1987 meeting with representatives of
Tompkins County, and has further defined its concerns pertaining to Cayuga Inlet, now therefore
be it
RESOLVED, That, until and unless data consistent with that required by the New York
State Department of Environmental Conservation to address each and every one of their concerns
is submitted to them and accepted by them so that they may change their designations, and those
designations are in fact changed, those lands offered by the Landstrom Gravel Company, Inc. in
the Town of Danby for the future location of the Tompkins County landfill be excluded from
further consideration, and the County's solid waste program and site selection process move
forward to Phase I11 immediately,
RESOLVED, further, That should the owner decide to proceed with this data
collection, such collection will be done at its expense and none to Tompkins County taxpayers,
and that neither this Board, nor the County implies its intention to acquire these lands, nor shall
the process be delayed to accomplish said data collection,
RESOLVED, further, That should it be determined by Tompkins County and/or this
Board that pursuit of this site, or any site, or any data to qualify a site, is detrimental to our
existing consent order, its proposed extension, or not in the best interest of Tompkins County or
its residents regarding waste disposal, that information' shall be transmitted to site owner
immediately, with an agreed to course of action prescribed.

ANNUAL
REPORTS
ANNUAL REPORT
TOMPKINS COUNTY COOPERATIVE EXTENSION ASSOCIATION
DEVELOPING FHUMAN POTENTIAL
Developing human potential is a life-long process. Individual and family members seek
knowledge, competencies, and skills to manage and make decisions especially during times of
transition. These transitions may relate to family changes, jobs, career, involvement in the
community, and concern for quality of life.
TEEN SUPERINTENDENTS/ 4-H Youth Development
The annual 4-H Acres Youth Fair is more than just a time for county 4-H members to
show off their accomplishments and projects. It is also a time for continued Iearning and an
opportunity for teens to participate in the decision-making process of this community event. In
1987, 36 teen superintendents accepted major responsibility in helping plan and implement 4 full
days of fair activities. Teens chose an event they would like to help with and then worked closely
with a 4-H staff member. Planning, decision-making, phone calls, recruitment, and supervision of
other volunteers were all shared - making the teen superintendents an integral part of the process.
More important than learning how to organize an event, teens learned responsibility, cooperation,
follow-through, and that they have valuable ideas and skills to contribute via their experiences as
teen superintendents.
INTERSTATE EXCHANGE TRIP/4-11 Youth Development
During the summer of 1987, 10 4-H members and 5 adult chaperones traveled to Jones
County Iowa to complete the second part of an Interstate Exchange initially begun in July 1986. All
of the exchanges attended a series of 4 meetings to plan for the 10 day trip. As a result of this
program members have assumed the responsibility of managing group finances, recruiting new
members, organizing and running meetings, and are actively working on an agenda to host a
different state in 1988. The interstate exchange program has given many inactive 4-H teens an
opportunity to assume leadership responsibilities.
TOMPKINS COUNTY YOUTH COUNCII/4-H Youth Development
The TC Youth Council, a 4-1-1 sponsored program, has been working since 1984 to
promote better understanding between youth and adults. Composed of teen representatives from
all over the county, Youth Council addresses youth -related issues and serves as an advisory group
to adult agencies and policy-making committees. Two members will soon be serving on the TC
Youth Board. Their main goal is representing youth needs and rights.
Members participate in a training retreat and educational trips to develop the essential
leadership, organizational, and empowerment skills necessary for carrying out their projects. TC
Youth Council undertook the extensive project of developing and administering a teen needs
assessment survey in county high schools to determine what services and programs were lacking
for county youth. They published and distributed a brochure listing the results and
recommendations of the survey. From the results, several youth organizations have been able to
further develop their programs.
Youth Council has followed-up on the need for better public transportation by meeting
with county planning officials to recommend options for bus routes. The survey project is a good
example of how Youth Council members have become empowered and how they hope to continue
to make positive contributions to our community.
MASTER GARDENERS EXPAND OUR EFFORTS/Agriculture
The Master Gardener volunteer program is an ongoing effort to educate volunteers who
love gardening. In tum they share their knowledge and enthusiasm with others expanding the
impact of CE programs in Horticulture. This has been a particularly active year for the volunteers
362
as they were involved in teaching classes, organizing the Garden Fair, and participating in garden
tours.
A particularly successful class series initiated and taught by Master Gardeners last Fall
was the wreath making workshops. Ten volunteers helped teach 52 participants how to make
eight different wreaths or holiday decorations. The volunteers contributed about 75 hours to help
participants save money and acquire new skills.
Another major event, the annual Spring Garden Fair and Plant Sale, requires a good deal
of volunteer coordination. Between 700 - 1000 people attended the Fair which involves
Horticulture groups and businesses working together to educate the public about plants. The 1 day
event required approximately 100 hours of volunteer input.
This was a Master Gardener training year - a group of 12 participated in the course and
then went straight to work at the Garden Fair.
Enrichment opportunities included visiting 2 area gardens and attending the statewide
Master Garden conference to learn about oriental vegetables during a special workshop.
The program expands the impact of Consumer Horticulture information in the
community. It requires ongoing nurturing to sustain volunteer interest and commitment.
CLOTHING CONSTRUCTION, CONSUMERISM, AND SELF ESTEEM!/ 4-H Youth
Development
The 4-H Home Economics Program has been developing the area of clothing
construction & evaluation and consumerism in relation to clothing purchases. Participants have
acquired basic construction skills and put these to use by constructing a garment. The garment was
then evaluated by a panel of judges and modeled at a fashion show at the Pyramid Mall. The 4-
H'ers also used these construction skills to purchase a ready-made garment; looking for a carefully
made garment that would meet many needs, would coordinate with an already existing wardrobe,
and be appropriate for their size and figure. These program areas develop human potential by
giving youth the necessary skills for selection and coordination of fabrics, colors, and designs.
Skills useful not only for garment construction but also for everyday life. Participating in a fashion
show develops poise and stage presence. The 4-H'er will begin to feel comfortable in this method
of presentation and once at ease in front of an audience will eventually gain confidence in speaking
as well. The skills acquired in selection and construction of an outfit build self esteem.
INCREASING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Economic development is a top priority of New York State government. In its simplest
terms, this means the retention or creation of private sector jobs and firm investments. The
appropriate investment of public resources must be in partnership with the private• sector to
improve the economic health and well being of individuals, families, Arms, and communities.
Applying research -based knowledge and encouraging networking between appropriate agencies
and organizations will have long term effects.
SMALL BUSINESS ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROGRAM/ Home Economics/ SBEEP
During this first year of the regional Small Business Energy Efficiency Program (SBEEP),
staff found low and no -cost ways for small businesses, not-for-profit organizations, and agri-
businesses to save an average of $1,005 a year. The average paycheck period of these energy
conservation recommendations was found to be 1.3 years and the amount saved on energy bills
averaged 17%.
SBEEP in Region 4 covers Tompkins, Tioga, Chernung, Schuyler, Steuben, and Yates
Counties. It educates owners and managers of small businesses, not -for -profits, and agri-
businesses through on-site energy surveys conducted by trained energy technicians. During this
initial year, 103 energy surveys were conducted from November 1986 through August 1987 in the
6 -county region; 39 of which were in TC.
363
During the second year of the program, follow-up contacts will be made to determine
actual recommendations and implemented and other education programs that would be helpful to
owners and managers. Energy surveys will continue to be conducted with an anticipated 200
businesses being reached in 1988.
The Program is sponsored by Cornell CE in cooperation with the N.Y.S. Energy office
with funding from the Exxon oil overcharge. CE in TC administers the program for Region 4.
A CHALLENGING YEAR FOR THE ITHACA FARMERS MARKET/ Agriculture
Thirteen years ago, CE was involved in starting the Ithaca Farmers Market which has
grown to be one of the state's most successful markets. Presently the market has 150 members and
attracts as many as 1300 cars to its Saturday market. This poses two major problems for the market
Board of Directors: managing the market for the benefit of the membership while also dealing with
the volume of customer traffic.
CE has been able to assist the market with decision making on some important issues.
During this past year the market completed the paperwork necessary to become a cooperative
corporation. CE advised the market in selecting this business form which best suits their operation.
Additionally, we assisted in rewriting and organizing the Rules and Regulations. With a new set
of bylaws and rules the market can function in a more professional manner.
Another challenge for the market has been to locate a permanent site. By working with
the city and an architectural firm the feasibility of various locations was evaluated. Input was
provided from two surveys - one of vendors and one of customers. After much public and member
input, the market chose to pursue developing a permanent facility at their present site. This
presents a challenge to the Board of Directors who will have to exert leadership as they negotiate
with the city for this site. As in the beginning, CE is helping the market remain a viable outlet for
farm products and other goods. The market serves as testing grounds for many products and
fosters development of small businesses in the community.
ENHANCING THE ENVIRONMENT
New Yorker's are deeply concerned about the quality of their environment and the
related issues that impact their communities. The management of our natural resources is a
community based problem affecting residents in both rural and urban settings. Cooperative
Extension's role is one of educating community leaders and key individuals who influence policy
makers.
CONSUMER I-IORTICULTURE PROGRAM/ Agriculture
The primary duty of the Horticulture program is to respond to requests for information
made by telephone and office callers. Surprisingly, as much as 80-90% of approximately 800 callers
requested information pertaining to plant and household pest problems. Most of the insect and
disease identification and appropriate management recommendations were conducted in this
office, however, positive identification of 88 of the specimens was beyond our capabilities. These
were sent to the Diagnostic Lab at Cornell for further consideration. The remaining 10-20% of the
inquiries included topics such as soil preparation, tree and shrub maintenance, and lawn care. In
addition to addressing information requests, a total of 55 complete soil test samples were processed
and 70 pH test samples were conducted in this office. A lack of interest in plant materials for
garden and landscape development is clearly reflected in the few requests for information on this
subject. An attempt is being made to inspire _consumers through educational horticulture
programming on a wide variety of plant materials, garden, and landscape subjects. Classes have
included a Home Lawn Care Workshop and Fall Planting & Maintenance Practices for Perennials.
(Total attendance was 71.) Upcoming will be a class on Spring Flowering Bulbs - their Culture &
Uses and a "hands-on" workshop on Forcing Hardy bulbs for Indoor Winter Enjoyment. In
addition, monthly articles on timely horticultural subjects have appeared in the Ithaca Journal and
CE Newsletter "Home and Garden." Whenever possible the emphasis of these articles has been
placed on educating the public in the culture and use of plant materials for varying garden and
landscape needs. It is hoped that these efforts will stimulate consumer interest in enhancing the
beauty of the environment which surrounds them.

4-H NATURAL RESOURCES APPRECIATION PROGRAM/ 4-1-1 Youth Development
In May 1987, the 4-H Natural Resources Appreciation Program (NRAP) hosted 1506
youth from TC to increase environmental awareness among youth. Special outreach efforts
resulted in the attendance of 3 BOCES special education classes. Eager 4th, 5th, and 6th grade
students visited one of eight different sites ranging from the Cornell campus to Smith Woods and
the Finger Lakes State parks. NRAP was also adapted to be held on the school grounds of 2
schools, Dryden and Newfield. Seventy-six volunteers offered 81 lessons, including "Urban
Wildlife, " "Weeds: Friends or Foes," "Nature Math," and "Stream Exploration."
THIS BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITY/ Agriculture
Trees and other landscape plants in our community often suffer from neglect. To
improve the care and attention they receive the City of Ithaca Created a Shade Tree Advisory
Committee. As an appointee to the group, CE provides input on practices for managing the urban
environment. An Arbor Day celebration and articles about the city Street Tree Survey have helped
to increase public awareness of trees.
In addition to educating the public, a further role of the Shade Tree Advisory Committee
includes offering training programs on proper maintenance practices for grounds maintenance
personnel.
The Ithaca Centennial presents another opportunity to sensitize the community to the
environment. The Beautification Committee of the Centennial, has provided recommendations for
community landscape projects.
Although initial efforts have focused on Ithaca, the information gathered will be of
benefit to rural towns as well. Beautification efforts will have a long term impact on the entire
community through increased tourism and a better environment in which to live.
SOLID WASTE: WHAT CAN BE DONE? / Community Issues
At the request of the Solid Waste Management Committee (SWMC) of the TC Board of
Representatives, CE has developed an education program which provides basic background
information on the scope and vocabulary of the solid waste problem and options for reduction and
management of this waste.
The primary audiences for the program include municipal officers at the town and
village level and residents who had not participated in the public information meetings held by the
SWMC.
A resource group which includes the County Planning Department, .Environmental
Management Council, the Ithaca Recycles Project, and local and university based Cornell CE staff
present the 1 1/2 hour session. In all but one case the session was co-sponsored by a municipality
and CE association of TC. Over 145 people have participated from 5 municipalities.
As a result of the program, participants are better able to understand the deliberations of
the SWMC and the County Government and to participate appropriately in the decision making
process. During each session people have recognized that each of us is both part of the problem
and the solution.
As an initial effort this program has raised the level of awareness that there are potential
effects to the groundwater from land uses such as landfills and that it is important to plan to
protect this source of drinking water for 48% of this county's residents.
IMPROVING NUTRITION AND HEALTH
Soaring health costs encourage consumers to change behavior and become more
concerned about preventive care as well as economic considerations. Health issues such as obesity,
hypertension, coronary heart disease, fitness - to name a few, are of interest and concern to New
Yorkers.
365
DIETARY GUIDELINES/ Food and Nutrition
Seventy-five men from Sertoma and Kiwanis clubs learned about the dietary guidelines
and how they have the opportunity to impact food chokes within their families. Many men don't
realize how much their food preferences impact the rest of the family's food consumption and
eating habits. They were interested to find that it was an area they could control.
TEEN PARENT PROGRAM/ Food and Nutrition
One Hundred pregnant teens and teen parents attended a 2-12 week class series at the
alternative school this year, sponsored by BOCES and the Teen Parent Program. CE agent Layer
serves as co -teacher for pregnant teens along with a public health nurse.
BYOB WRAPS UP A SUCCESSFUL YEAR/4-H Youth Development
The "Better Your Own Body" program finished its third year in the county with great
success and new areas for growth and expansion. Seven teen leaders presented the program to
1143 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students. BYOB was also represented during "Kids Say Know To
Drugs" week at the Pyramid Mall where they handed out information and talked to nearly 1000
people. A display on the program was set up for the NYS Leaders Forum, the Open House, and
the 4-H Youth Fair.
A "BYOB Club" at the Dewitt Middle School has become involved in numerous alcohol
abuse activities and a select group of students will be trained to teach an alcohol lesson to the 3rd.
grade. This project will be coordinated with Sally Sumner of BOCES.
INCREASING AGRICULTURAL PROFITABILITY
Profitability of New York State agriculture, the state's largest industry, is one of absolute
necessity if the food and agriculture system is to be competitive in the future. It is estimated that
approximately 20% of New York farm families are financially stressed by high interest rates, heavy
debt, and level or declining prices. In the future, some farm families will need to look to
alternatives other than agriculture as a means of providing income for family living. CE will be in
a position to counsel and assist these families. At the same time, those remaining in businesses will
need a source of unbiased, research -based technology to use in their decision making process as
they strive to improve their farming efforts.
REGIONAL EFFORTS FOR GREATER IMPACT/ Agriculture
Though CE programs are county based, the agriculture industry often extends beyond
county lines for services, supplies, and markets. Agriculture extension efforts in the Southern Tier
are primarily directed at the predominating dairy and crop industry. There are many small
vegetable, fruit horticulture, forestry, and livestock enterprises that turn to CE for information.
Staff in the Southern Tier Colonies are prepared to address. requests but are by no means subject
matter experts in all of these areas. To reduce the stress on staff to be "expert" in a wide range of
subjects, a planning group of agents from Southern Tier Counties met several times to discuss
subject matter resource sharing and improved networking opportunities. During the past year,
several joint programming efforts have been launched successfully.
One such effort, directed at vegetable and small fruit producers, was a regional meeting
held in Binghamton to bring producers together with CU specialists. The 45 producers in
attendance responded favorably to the program and were interested in future efforts. In summer,
20 small fruit growers in the Southern Tier toured a local farm and visited Comell's small fruit
research trials.
These efforts represent a step towards regional programming. By working together we
avoid duplication of services and are better able to utilize the resources of CU.
A NEW PROGRAM FOR LOCAL HORTICULTURE BUSINESSES/ Agriculture
Local population and economic growth have created a positive demand situation for the
horticulture sales and service industry. Many611-person businesses started 10 years ago now
employ 20 to 40 workers. Presently there are approximately 40 commercial horticulture businesses
in the county; these include greenhouses, garden centers, landscape, tree, and nursery firms. Many
are new businesses or are experiencing "growing pains." Some owners and employees have
limited horticulture expertise while others are coping with the lack of knowledge in business
management. As business people, all are interested in customer satisfaction as well as earning a
profit. Because they have common interests and problems, a forum for sharing ideas and solutions
was established in the form of a Horticulture Business Group.
We are providing leadership for education programs at group meetings. Thus far,
approximately 20 firms have participated in meetings that have addressed topics such as economic
opportunities, pesticide regulations, pest problems, personnel management, insurance, and
landscaping with perennials.
Through our educational efforts, we hope to increase the rate of survival of these
businesses, improve customer satisfaction, and contribute to economic development in the
community.
Participation by the group in regional horticulture seminars has increased. Regional
seminars this past year included a bedding plant, marketing, personnel management, turf and
landscape maintenance seminar (900 participants from Central New York attended). Leading
industry professionals speaking at these seminars offer quality programs that could not be offered
by individual counties.
By offering both regional seminars and local networking opportunities, education
programs for horticulture businesses have been significantly strengthened in TC.
HIGH TECHNOLOGY WINTER WHEAT PRODUCTION/ Agriculture/ D&FC
Key wheat growers in Tompkins & Schuyler counties were invited to a wheat production
meeting in January 1985. The purpose was to explain a high technology management program
designed to increase the production of soft white winter wheat (35 attended). Growers were also
invited to attend field days at the Cornell Research farm in Aurora, NY to view the high technology
wheat plots. Each received test plot results and an economic analysis of the high technology
program.
In August 1987 a survey was sent to the growers who attended the January 1985
awareness meeting. Fourteen growers returned the survey; two of the 14 no longer grow winter
wheat. With respect to changes in grower management practices, survey results showed that: 60%
planted earlier, two-thirds increased seeding rates, 57% increased nitrogen rates, 42% used a split
application of nitrogen in the spring, 22% used a fungicide in the last two years to control disease,
and none of the growers used a growth regulator to shorten the height of wheat and reduce
lodging. Finally, growers had some definite ideas on the future direction of research & extension
programs in winter wheat: wheat more adapted to the area, increased disease resistance, greater
straw yield, and developing a production program to lower costs.
DAIRY HOUSING/ Agriculture/ D&FC
A major portion of the dairy program this past year has been Agricultural Engineering.
After a three year lull agricultural construction has increased dramatically. This upturn seems to
indicate a renewed confidence in the future of the regional dairy industry by local dairymen. The
types of construction varies widely from farm to farm, but in general most projects are designed to
improve the efficiency of the dairy business.
The role of the regional dairy program is to assist in the planning of practical and
efficient structures which will incorporate the latest in technological advances which are affordable
by the dairyman.
An example of one major project which we have been involved in during the past year
has been the planning of a new 300 cow free stall housing system for Ron Beck of Freeville. The
system is being built to replace the facilities which were destroyed by fire in June. This system,
which is now under construction, includes a number of innovations which are new to the region.
The time which is spent in planning this facilityywiii allow the Beck family to continue to operate a
profitable dairy business, but of equal or greater importance is that this new facility will provide us
with an educational demonstration to help other dairymen plan new structures.
DAIRY FARM BUSINESS SUMMARY/ Agriculture/ D&FC
Farmers wishing to improve the profitability of their businesses need to start with a
business analysis which will identify the strengths and opportunities for improvement. In late
1986, the opportunity to participate in the Dairy Farm Business Summary (DFBS) Program was
extended to farmers in the CTTS Region through publicity in a Management Memo and the Dairy
Digest. There were 31 participants in DFBS, 10 were from TC.
Financial and physical data were collected for each farm. A computer program
developed at Cornell was used to generate an 11 page summary and analysis for each farm. This
information is processed with others from across the state to produce a Business Summary with
averages for 414 farms. All information is kept in strict confidence. Participants used the summary
as a basis for comparing their farm business factors with others in NYS to identify strengths and
opportunities. Many set realistic and attainable goals for the coming year and developed plans for
achievement.
STRENGTHENING INDIVIDUAL, FAMILY, AND COMMUNITY RESOURCES
Today, less than seven percent of New York State families conform to the stereotypical
family - father as breadwinner, .mother as homemaker, and two children. Diverse family
configurations are the norm. Regardless of form, individuals and families seek knowledge and
skills as well as support to address the challenging issues associated with life's diversity,
transitions, and circumstances.
RESPONDING TO FARM FACILITIES/ Agriculture, D&FC Team, Home Economics
Farm families in TC, while small in number, continued to face business and personal
challenges during the past year. Recognizing that the farm economic crisis affects communities as
well as individual families, that isolation among those who farm is common, and that only a small
proportion would actually leave farming, two major emphases were initiated.
Efforts to reach farm families with education programs and networking opportunities
included a 3 -part Farm Family Forum. This focused on farm safety and emergency preparedness
(8-12 participated m each meeting); a Farm Women's Brunch series on farm and family
management topics (24 involved); an 8 -part letter series on communication skills, stress, financial &
time management, and finding off -the -farm employment (mailed to 225); and developing a
reference list of local human services which farm families may utilize and informing the service
providers (15 attended and other contacts made) of the unique needs of farm families.
Comprehensive management skills seminars to improve the profitability of farm
businesses included the Dairy Farm Audit Program (attended by 8 farm families in the region), a
cooperative effort with TC3 and the State Education Department to offer a discussion on the future
of farming (60+ attended), business practices and a series of 8 workshops on personnel
management skills (45 farm businesses represented), and a Farming Alternatives Workshop to
explore options for diversifying farm enterprises or utilizing land to improve one's economic
position (120 participated).
The Farm Women's Group continues to meet regularly and the Farm Family Letters are
being distributed statewide through Cornell CE; 8 more farm families are being recruited for the
Dairy Farm Audit Program. Workshops on business management, goal -setting, integration of
business and family goals, and communication with families and employees are being planned.
Another grant with TC3 will be used to offer classes on personnel management and computer use
while community awareness of agriculture continues through local media.
PARENTING SKILLS TRAINING: A STRUCTURED LEARNING APPROACH/ Home
Economics
In an effort to develop and encourage more facilitators for countywide parenting
workshops, CE of TC offered training in conjunction with Elmira Psychiatric Center and Ithaca
368
Youth Bureau. Eleven human service professionals interested in learning the skill 'streaming
approach, as adapted for the Parenting Skills Workshop Series, attended workshops in August
1987. Participants gained knowledge in Arnold Goldstein s structured learning modes as they
were introduced to the 5 basic skills taught in the 7 week parenting series and had opportunities to
observe and participate in parent group role-plays. Because it is easily adaptable, it can be
incorporated m a variety of human service approaches. The Parenting Skills Training made more
agency workers familiar with this simple method of educating adults who are not sophisticated
learners, and broadening the availability of this approach to our community.
HOUSING OPTIONS FOR SENIORS TODAY/ Home Economics
H.O.S.T. (Housing Options for Seniors Today) is a pilot project sponsored by Cornell CE
in cooperation with the NYS Office for the Aging. The objectives for the program are to educate
consumers and decision makers about current housing availability for Seniors in TC and to assess
the options that may be available if local zoning ordinances can be adapted to allow these options
to occur.
The H.O.S.T. program is in 2 phases. H.O.S.T. I was implemented by 9 trained
volunteers who delivered the program to church groups and service organizations. Approximately
750 TC residents were reached through this effort. Currently, educational efforts are being focused
on village and town planning and zoning boards (H.O.S.T. II) to allow them the opportunity to
become aware of the zoning issues that will allow planned housing for the rapidly growing elderly
population in TC.
NETWORKING FOR OUTREACII WORKERS/ Food and Nutrition
Several workshops for outreach workers working with low-income families led to a
greater understanding of others' jobs and led to networking for greater benefits for families.
Workshops were sponsored by CE and Family Childrens Service.
SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE INVESTING/ 1-Iome Economics
A program entitled "Socially Responsible Investing," sponsored by CE in cooperation
with the Alternative Credit Union and the ECO Justice Project of CU was held in late April with 84
in attendance. The objective of the program was to educate individuals and groups that
compromising ethical or moral principles in order to achieve a good rate of monetary return on
investments is not necessary. An evaluation indicated that 70% of attendees felt that the program
was worth attending, ant that the program presented new information for approximately 35% of
the group. As a result of the program and investment club was established through the Alternative

ANNUAL REPORT
TOMPKINS COUNTY ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT COUNCIL
I. INTRODUCTION
This report highlights the major accomplishments of the Tompkins County Environmental
Management Council in 1987.
II. SEQR
At the request of the Tompkins County Board of Representatives, the EMC developed an
Environmental Quality Review process for the County. This procedure, with modifications, was
adopted by the Board of Representatives in 1987. The EMC now reviews Type I and unlisted
actions undertaken by the County. The EMC worked with County Department Heads and other
staff to initiate the process. Advisory support was also given to the Tompkins County Solid Waste
Management Committee.
As further support for the SEQR process, the EMC sponsored an educational forum (in conjunction
with Cortland County EMC). The workshop, conducted by NYSDEC, was attended by 130
interested citizens as well as elected officials and staff of the County, City, Villages and Towns.
III. SOLID WASTE
Solid Waste Management continued to be the number one issue of the Tompkins County EMC in
1987. The Board of Representatives established a special seven -member committee to study this
issue and recommend a'plan for the County. The EMC has been involved with this issue for years
and this effort continues to be recognized through one of its members serving on the County's
Solid Waste Management Committee.
The Board of Representatives has made the commitment to identify a landfill site within its
borders. The first phase of this process was to identify and remove from consideration areas within
the County that did not satisfy the minimum requirements for the NYSDEC approved landfill Site.
During this investigation, regions having the highest potential for landfill development were also
identified. A total of 23 potential sites were found.
The second phase of the landfill siting investigation obtained site specific dab from sites where
right -of -entry was secured. Of the 8 sites studied, 3 have been determined to be suitable for landfill
development. The EMC is currently evaluating the 3 potential sites (DR -2, DR -7, and EN -3)
through on-site inspections and review of technical data. After this review, the EMC will comment
on the environmental impacts of siting a landfill on each of the 3 sites. In addition to this support
to the Solid Waste Management Committee, the EMC has helped plan and participated in solid
waste forums coordinated by Cooperative Extension. The EMC passed a Resolution asking the
Board of Representatives to balance the impact of a landfill by: (1) establishing a landfill
operations advisory board composed partially of representatives from the host community, (2)
assuring neighbors of the landfill site that the County will maintain environmental health and
aesthetics in the area surrounding the landfill, (3) make a public comnutment to do (1) and (2)
before a landfill site is selected, and (4) address these same issues should a transfer station be
selected.
Along with siting a landfill, the Board of Representatives also made the commitment to reduce the
volume going to the landfill. The County is investigating recycling, composting and baling. At the
request of the Solid Waste Management Committee, the EMC analyzed successful recycling
programs throughout the United States. This information was presented to the Solid Waste
Management Committee as recycling possibilities for Tompkins County. The EMC also passed
Resolutions supporting the County's Office Paper Recycling Program and the City of Ithaca's
Recycling Program.
385
IV. WATER QUALITY
Water quality, especially that of groundwater, is a major concern of residents of Tompkins County.
An EMC volunteer, also a Cornell University student, conducted the Groton Well Supply Survey of
250 private well owners in the Town of Groton as a student project. An 84% response rate to this
survey indicates the high concern for ground water quality. As a direct result of this interest the
EMC and Tompkins County Cooperative Extension are conducting a series of rural water clinic
workshops throughout the County_ The first clinic was held in Groton in November.
The EMC was presented with a Certificate of Merit award by the New York State Association of
EMC's and NYSDEC for this well water survey work.
The EMC continues to be involved with the State's water management strategy. Comments were
made by EMC members at the state hearing on their water strategy. The EMC has also submitted
its perspective on establishing minimum stream flow standards to the state hearing on the state's
water management strategy.
V. WETLAND PROTECTION
The wetland acreage in Tompkins County is steadily decreasing. Protection of the important
habitat and ground water recharge ecosystem is a major concern of the EMC. In 1987, NYSDEC
allowed the Neptune Hose Company to excavate, in a Dryden wetland, for a parking lot. The EMC
is actively working to correct the damages caused by this excavation.
A local gravel company wants to encroach on the Malloryville Bog. The EMC has evaluated this
site from on-site inspections with technical experts. The EMC has decided to work to protect this
wetland.
The EMC General Committee met at Hog's Hole this summer. The Committee viewed the wetland
and the excavation and filling being done by the New York State Department of Parks and
Recreation at the Treman Marina. The EMC continues its commitment to maintain as much
wetland as possible on the south end of Cayuga Lake.
VI. EMC INTERNAL MANAGEMENT
The EMC Continues to attempt to increase its efficacy by updating its bylaws and reviewing
possible changes in the Enabling Legislation. This follows changes in the past couple of years
setting new policies and procedures for attendance, program planning, the recommendations for
selection of a chair, and recommendations for at - large members.
VII. UNIQUE NATURAL AREA CLASSIFICATION STUDY
Council is preparing to undertake a project to re-evaluate Unique Natural areas that were
designated ten years ago. The study will involve establishing criteria for designating land as
unique natural areas, performing field investigations, collecting and interpreting data, and
preparing an updated report. The original extensive report has been used (and misused) a great
deal in county environmental matters. A part-time plant specialist is being requested from county
government to assist in this complicated, long term (possibly three years) project.
VIII. DOG/DEER PREDATION
The EMC has followed through with its work on understanding dog predation of deer during deep
snow periods in the late winter. The EMC, working with various enforcement agencies, has
arranged an agreement to make the Tompkins County Sheriff's Department the central point to
report all predation incidents. This will be the first winter with this system in place. The hope is
that this system will allow for an accurate assessment of the total dog/deer predation problem.
The present system of the Conservation officers requesting a dog quarantine will therefor continue
rather than seeing an automatic January - March quarantine.
386
IX. RT. 96
Council is gathering information on the Rt. 96 construction alternatives. The EMC has invited two
speakers with differing views to speak on the topic. The EMC reviewed a report on the alternative
routes prepared by an independent consultant and is awaiting the EIS being prepared by NYSDOT.
X. SUMMARY
The EMC is an active group of concerned citizens. The above list of accomplishments
demonstrated their commitment to an environmental consciousness throughout the county. The
EMC's active participation in many important environmental issues insures its effectiveness in the
coming years.

ANNUAL REPORT
TOMPKINS COUNTY HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION
The Human Rights Commission completed its twenty-fourth year of continuous
volunteer commitment to all of the people of Tompkins County in the delivery of services
established in broad outline by resolution of our county legislators in December 1963. The people
of Tompkins County benefit from Commission activities enabled under authorization of State and
Federal legislation embracing human and civil rights. Your Commission continued to foster
mutual understanding and respect among all persons; encouraged equality of opportunity for, and
discouraged any discrimination against any person on the basis of race, color, sex, creed, age,
national origin, disability, marital status, or arrest and convict -ion record. Commission activities
involved cooperation among governmental agencies, schools, employers, and other organizations
in the public as well as the private sector. The Human Rights Commission is pleased to be part of a
local network of more than one hundred human service agencies.
Work of the commission was enhanced and complemented by the ongoing, exemplary
efforts of our Tompkins County Human Rights Investigator who regularly demonstrated
resourcefulness, imagination and the ability. to persevere in a climate where solutions to individual
and group problems are often characterized as mercurial. On her own initiatives the Investigator
created a basic human rights library and maintained relationships with peer groups elsewhere in
the State for our community benefit. She has been excellent in keeping the Commission apprised of
relevant legislative activity, both State-wide and National.
Thanks go to our Board of Representatives and to its Human Services Committee for
their considered support of Commission endeavors. Special thanks go to Representatives Beverly
Livesay and Daniel Winch who shared Commission liaison responsibilities.
Community focus on human rights was maintained, in part, through our annual awards
presentation event. Our keynote speaker was Ms. Catherine Abate, Executive Deputy
Commissioner of New York State's, Division of Human Rights, In June, Ms. Abate said that the
fight for equality must be waged locally. Ms. Abate noted that "racial discrimination continues to
be as bad in this decade as it was in the 1960's." Keshaum Powell and Pamela Stanley read Martin
Luther King, Jr., Scholarship Fund Oratory contest prize winning speeches as part of the event.
Theresa Vanek won first prize among middle school entrants. Jennie Farley was recognized as this
year's recipient of the Corrine Galvin Award for her efforts to secure equal opportunities for
women and minorities in the workplace and to advance the careers of those in traditionally low-
paying jobs. Chris Pothier accepted the James Gibbs Award on behalf of Loaves and" Fishes, a
group providing free meals without questions or discrimination. Raymond A. Davis received the
Majorie N. Penalver Award for his excellence in striving for equality of opportunity in the field of
education.
Tompkins County mirrored the Nation in changes in its economy and in a marked
resurgence of racism, sometimes subtle, ton often not. As in the Nation, the world of work here
continued a shift toward a service economy. However, the county's loss of high -paying
manufacturing jobs occurred in the recent years at a rate exceeding State and National averages.
Positively, the number of local businesses showed an increase and the labor force reached 45,500 in
a population of more than 87,000. Our educational institutions offer stability. Technology based
companies offer promise. Competition for good jobs remains strong among a changing labor force.
Housing problems and homelessness are community concerns. Linkages between economy and
discrimination are well documented and continue to be reflected here in the prevalence of
employment related issues and in an increase of inquiries about housing.
CASE ACTIVITY
Employees and employers consulted the Human Rights Investigation with 185
individual inquiries/charges related to human rights employment issues and discrimination in
1987 (this figure does not include special training with 40 people and consultation cases - 25
people).
390
In addition, 61 individuals contacted the office to allege discrimination or inquiries
regarding individual problems in housing, public accommodations, education institutions, credit
or police matters.
A total of 26 formal complaints were filed through the office with the New York State
Division of Human Rights in Syracuse.

OTHER CONCERNS:
Legal matters including Judicial System, Custody Rights, Disability, Parking, Food Stamps/Medicare.
Results:
Some results include improved self-concept: 1) sex harassment complaint, "I feel tremendously better: I can
go on with my lite:" 2) gender complaint, "at least, they know now they can't discriminate that way without it
being recorded someplace."
Sex harassment/pregnancy complaint - $5,000 awarded to complainant
5 changed, legalized applications
3 probable cause decisions at conciliation stage
2 jobs regained - wages, benefits restored
I apartment obtained after initial refusal
I withdrawn negative personnel notice from file
Improved, non-discriminatory personnel conditions - several specific known instances
Major areas of allegations continue to follow the patten of previous years. A total of 42 charges
were based on alleged discrimination by gender (1986 - #44). Disability, race/color, and age followed as the
next major protected classes in both 1987 and 1986. Figures for these years were disability (20 and 35),
race/color (20 and 24), and age (19 and 16). The major change is seen in a lowering of allegations in the arca
of disability which could be due to 1) greater compliance with the law 2) improvement in acceptance of a
disability as not necessarily a handicap and the hopeful increase in capacity to see the abilities of an individual
with disabilities 3) increased reasonable accommodation to a person's disabilities 4) fewer disability
allegations because of greater understanding of the laws which still requires ability to perforin a job.
392
Employees, employers, landlords, tenants and others continue to seek clarification of
their rights as defined by the judicial system. Outstanding issues of concern are termination -at -will
and housing evictions.
1-luman Rights Day activities were greatly expanded this year and included
Commissioner taping of Public Service Announcements for TV viewing, sponsorship of five hours
of outstanding human rights viewing on Channel 13, and expanded media coverage including
newspaper and radio interviews and notices. Outreach networking with schools continue to
increase and improve. The Ithaca City School District has included human rights notices in the
Superintendent's Bulletin with teachers and librarians beginning to borrow and utilize multi-
cultural/other resources of the Human Rights Office Library. Similarly, cooperative efforts have
been developed between this office and GIAC and Southside Community Center. A new student
group at Tompkins Cortland Community College "Image," spurred on by this office's publicity,
held a Tompkins Cortland Community College Disabilities Awareness Day on Human Rights Day.
President Marti and other administrators were participants. Mimi Granger, GIAC, held several
school and Center activities in conjunction with Human Rights Day. A joint Press Conference at
Ithaca City Youth Bureau was part of activities which acknowledged the youth who produced the
video "Racism: The Intolerable Issue" and allowed the public to meet with some Human Rights
Commissioners and Board of Representatives Chair Mary CaII.
Proclamations for "Employ the Disabled" and "Human Rights Day" were issued by
Mayor Gutenberger and Board of Representatives Chair Mary Call, initiated by the Human Rights
Commission. A "Fair Housing Week" Proclamation was made by Mayor Gutenberger.
Additional issues addressed by the Conunission - as a whole - and its Committees
related to non-discriminatory education; retention of minority teachers in the schools; racism and
hate motivated violence; graffiti; the Tibet genocide crisis; the Bork nomination; police grievance
procedure; housing/homeless concerns; parking, accessibility, and transportation; and activities of
other groups with relevance to the work of the Commission.
Training - Assistance
The investigator, upon request, conducted four formal training sessions for employees -
approximately 30 county employees and 10 retail workers. The concerns addressed were hiring
and staff development on issues of gender and color. Concrete evidence of positive outcomes from
training were observed.
In addition, on a voluntary/invitational basis, the investigator held several meetings
with the Ithaca City School District and two union officials regarding employment concerns.
An informational program was also held for older workers in the Job Training Programs
and also for the Ithaca College Gender and Race Class.
Other professional networking relationships continue to be of mutual advantage with
human service agencies, educational providers, and the media.
This was also the year that the office made its third recent move and settled into office
space in Biggs "A".

TOMPKINS COUNTY PROBATION DEPARTMENT
Kathryn L. Lcinthall
FAMILY COURT INTAKE
The Family Court Act provides for the County Probation service to confer with individuals and
families regarding issues of support, custody, visitation, family offense, persons in need of supervision and
juvenile delinquency. Probation Officers in the Intake/Diversion Unit screen matters and help parties
determine which matters need court attention and which may be resolved or "adjusted" through agreements
and/or referrals to other services. Probation Officers may not prevent in any person's access to the Family
Court, but, instead, offer their skills and knowledge to assist people in resolving the conflict or difficulty
themselves. The hope is that many cases will be adjusted without the need for the often costly, adversarial
arena of the family court.
In 1987, a total of 433 Intake cases were closed. This rate remained constant with the number of
the total cases closed in 1986 (435). In the specific categories, the cases closed were as follows:
1985 1986 1987
Juvenile Delinquents 87 129 146
Persons In Need of Supervision 87 66 68
Support 38 45 50
Custody and/or Visitation 144 106 108
Family Offense 105 89 61
Trends appear to be occurring in the steady increase in Juvenile Delinquency cases and the steady
decrease in Family Offense matters. The decrease in Family Offense matters may be reflective of potential
petitioners more often utilizing assigned attorneys to initiate proceedings.
The following bar graph depicts the percentage of closed cases that were adjusted at,the Intake
level over the past three years broken down into categories as follows: JD=Juvenile Delinquent, PINS=Person
In Need of Supervision, Supp.= Support, Cust.=Custody and/or visitation and FO= Family Offense:

As displayed, the percentage of adjustments for all categories rose between 1986 and 1987 and
there was a 10 percent increase in overall adjustments between 1986 and 1987. The improved adju,strent rate
may he a result of the reorganization of the Probation Department which
397
occurred in October 1986. At that time, one specialized unit of officers was established to perform Intake
services, whereas previously Intake services were shared equally among officers also responsible for other
mandated probation functions. This reorganization enables the officers to concentrate their efforts and skills
on those family matters which might otherwise require Court action.
Kristin Stevenson
Probation Officer
PRE-TRIAL RELEASE PROGRAM
During 1987, the Probation Department continued its Pre -Trial Release Program in an attempt to
facilitate release from jail without financial conditions by identifying appropriate defendants for Release on
Recognizance or Conditional Release.
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, and those already sentenced).
After an initial screening and personal interview with the defendant and an investigation of his/her
legal, social, and employment history, and a personal reference check, 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 Pre -Trial Release (PTR) with supervision
is recommended, specific conditions of release are submitted to the Court. If PTR is ordered, the Probation
Department will supervise the defendant's adherence to those conditions to help ensure the defendant's
appearance at subsequent Court hearings.
During 1987, a total of 459 interviews were conducted. Of those, 294 investigations were
completed and forwarded to the courts as compared to 238 investigations completed in 1986. 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.
Bernadette M. Stranger
Probation Assistant
PRE-TRIAL DIVERSION PROGRAM
The Pre -Trial Diversion Program offers certain first time offenders, charged with a misdemeanor or
felony, an altemative to the traditional court process. Successful completion of the program can result in the
defendant's having the pending charges dismissed, thus avoiding a criminal record. Referring first time
offenders to Diversion also helps to reduce the Courts workload and enables them to spend more time on
complex cases.
As part of their program requirements, Diversion participants keep regular appointments with a
Probation Officer, visit either the Tompkins County Jail or Auburn State Prison, keep a daily journal, perform
volunteer work within the community, and pay restitution to the victims, if applicable.
A change in statistical reporting precludes the possibility of a direct comparison with prior year
statistics.

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
sentencing decisions. Investigations include legal and social background information about the
person(s) appearing before the court, information about the victim of the crime and information
about the defendant's/respondent's ability to make restitution. Other information which the court
may wish to consider at the time of sentencing or final disposition inclusive of individualized
treatment. programs, is also included in the report. The Probation Department conducts
investigations for the Family and Criminal Courts.
The Criminal Procedure Law requires a presentence report prior to sentencing for all
felony offenders. A presentence investigation is also required when a sentence of probation,
imprisonment for a term of 90 days or cumulative sentence of imprisonment aggregating more
than 90 days is in order for a misdemeanor offender. 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 locally is more often the rule. 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 1987 decreased 25
percent from 1986, but increased 30 percent over 1985.
The category comprised of Custody, Visitation, and Adoption Investigations are now
reported separately and continue to be the greatest percentage of investigations ordered by the
Family Court. As a rule, they are the most involved and complicated investigations completed by
the Department due to the fact that multiple parties exist, all of whom must be investigated.
399
Family Offense investigations are now separated from the "other" category and they
have increased in number in 1987. The number of "Supplemental" or "Updated" investigations
have decreased in 1987. This may be due to more complete reports and more efficient processing
of such cases both in the Department and in the Family Court.

Criminal Court Investigations
In 1987 the Probation Department was asked for a total of 357 presentence investigations.
More than 40 percent of these were felony investigations ordered by the Tompkins County Court
or the Supreme Court. Of the 202 misdemeanor investigations ordered, most were requested by
the Ithaca City Court and the town or village justice courts. Six pre -plea reports were also
requested last year.
Although the total number of felony presentence investigations ordered in 1987 was the
same as for 1986 (155) an unusually heavy felony presentence investigation workload came to the
Department in September 1987. In fact, the felony investigations ordered in August and September
made up one-third of the total number of such reports for 1987. Misdemeanor investigations rose
in number from 170 to 202 over the year, down from 247 in 1985.
The chart on the following page must be read carefully. It compares the monthly
percentage of total investigation workload completed (includes all investigations in process
received during a prior month) with the actual number of new assignments. At year's end, 88
percent of the total investigation workload had been completed.

Over the years, the role of County Probation Departments 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 production; 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 or her 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 his or her
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 Family Court as Juvenile Delinquents (JD) or Persons in
Need of Supervision (PINS). Adults may be supervised in some cases of family offense, support,
child abuse or neglect.

The total number of Family Court probationers received by this Department in 1987 was
18. This constitutes a decrease of 36 (thirty-six) percent from 1986. The largest change occurred in
the number of Juvenile Delinquency supervision orders received (from 15 in 1986 to 5 in 1987).
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 may also be
required to supervise persons who have not been adjudicated. Typically, in such cases, the matter
is adjourned for a set period of time and will eventually be 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 predispositional supervision.
No predispositional supervision cases were received by the Department in 1987, and the
three (3) that were carried over from 1986 were discharged in 1987.
The non -utilization of this function is probably due to a more active "defense counsel"
organization known as the Law Guardian's Office, and a greater reliance on the use of Preventive
Services (available through the Department of Social Services) which are intended to avoid court
adjudication and out -of -home placement of at risk youth.

Criminal Court Supervision
The Criminal Court Supervision function is primarily concerned with persons over 16
years of age who have committed a crime (a misdemeanor or a felony), and have been determined
to be a low enough risk to the community as to allow them to remain out of the local jail (for up to
one year) or state prison system (for periods in excess of one year).
As can be determined from the statistical chart on the following page, the number of
Felony Supervision orders received during 1987 increased 10 percent over the prior year. The
number of Misdemeanor Supervision orders received increased 21 percent over 1986.
The average monthly number of probationers supervised during 1987 was 205 felons,
and 145 misdemeanants. There appears to be a general increase in the number of felons supervised
by the Department over the past several years. This is also the case statewide.
According to statistics compiled by the New York State Division of Probation and
Correctional Alternatives, the number of felons supervised statewide at the end of 1987 (58,378)
was an increase of 56 percent over the number supervised at the beginning of 1983. Similarly, the
number of misdemeanants supervised at the end of 1987 (54,009) was an increase of 29 percent over
1983.

INTENSIVE SUPERVISION PROGRAM
The Intensive Supervision Program (ISP) has been in operation in Tompkins County since April
1983. In June 1984, ISP came under the auspices of the New York State Guidelines; and in December 1986,
these guidelines were substantially revised. New York State reimburses the County for the ISP probation
officer's salary, fringe benefits, and travel. The only cost to the County is for administration, clerical time, and
daily supplies.
In March 1987, the Director and then new ISP Probation Officer attended a one day workshop in
Syracuse dealing entirely with the revised ISP Guidelines. Since this time, Tompkins County ISP has been
operating with essentially three programs defined as alternatives to incarceration: Intensive Supervision

INTENSIVE SUPERVISION PROGRAM
The Intensive Supervision Program (ISP) has been in operation in Tompkins County since April
1983. In June 1984, ISP came under the auspices of the New York State Guidelines; and in December 1986,
these guidelines were substantially revised. New York State reimburses the County for the ISP probation
officer's salary, fringe benefits, and travel. The only cost to the County is for administration, clerical time, and
daily supplies.
In March 1987, the Director and then new ISP Probation Officer attended a one day workshop in
Syracuse dealing entirely with the revised ISP Guidelines. Since this time, Tompkins County ISP has been
operating with essentially three programs defined as alternatives to incarceration: Intensive Supervision
Program (ISP), Alternatively Sentences Cases (ASC), and
403
Interim Supervision(IS). Defendants must meet very specific state guidelines and be recommended by
the Probation Department to qualify for these programs. The emphasis in each case is on a
probationers; employment or education; home and field visits; numerous contacts with family, friends,
and treatment providers; and itnmediate communication with the courts when conditions are violated.
The Intensive Supervision Program administratively classified cases is open to any defendant
who has been convicted of a felony or who has a current misdemeanor conviction with either a prior
felony or three prior misdemeanor convictions or adjudications. In most cases, these people have
already failed on one or more prior probation sentences.
The Alternatively Sentenced Cases Program is designed for felony defendants who have at
least one prior conviction or adjudication and who are at risk of incarceration. Defendants must possess
additional characteristics which describe a profile of being at risk of incarceration. Recommendation
for this program is made by the Probation Department in lieu of a recommendation for incarceration.
Interim Supervision is deferred sentence status for a period not longer than six months. It
can be ordered either before or after conviction. The Court imposed presentence conditions of
supervision very similar to the usual conditions of probation. In the case of a second felony offender
(usually a mandatory sentence of state incarceration), an agreement would be made that if the defendant
were successful on Interim Supervision he would be permitted to plead to a misdemeanor charge which
would then make him/her probation eligible as an Alternatively Sentenced Case.
During 1987, there were a total of 32 individuals supervised by the intensive Supervision
Program probation officer. These individuals are usually identified during the presentence process as
high risks to fail on probation. Some are also transferred internally to the Intensive Supervision
Program after they have been supervised on a regular probation caseload for a period of time and their
continued illegal behavior or failure to abide by their conditions of probation temporarily requires more
intensive supervision. The supervision period is for a minimum of six months but may be extended as
long as necessary (up to the maximum probation sentence) following quarterly evaluations.
Of those 32 individuals, 6 were transitioned to regular probation supervision, 9 had their
probation sentences revoked (5 resentenced to local jail time, 2 resentenced to state prison, 2 discharged
from probation), 2 absconded, I died, and the remaining 14 continue under active Intensive Supervision
Program supervision.
In 1987, 28 individuals were placed in the Intensive Supervision Program,' 2 in the
Alternatively Sentenced Cases, and 3 in Interim Supervision. We expect that the number of
Alternatively Sentenced Cases will reach at least 40 percent of the Intensive Supervision Program
caseload in 1988. Although it is impossible to predict what the ultimate success rate will be, about 20
percent of the 1987 caseload was transitioned in a positive direction. For these people, Intensive
Supervision Program has been a true alternative to incarceration, since without it, each one would have
likely been incarcerated.
The new Intensive Supervision Program Guidelines provide viable sentencing options which
are used to rehabilitate the probationer as well as to protect the community. It is important for us to
periodically evaluate these programs and modify them as deemed appropriate to maximize the
probationer's potential for success and freedom from further legal involvement.

DRIVING WHILE INTOXICATED PROGRAM
The Tompkins County Probation Department's Driving While Intoxicated Program has been
operational since January 1, 1985. The County STOP -DWI Program and New York State fund a full
time DWI Probation Officer position. The responsibilities of this position involve two major areas:
completing presentence and providing intensive supervision of persons sentenced to probation for DWI.
The presentence investigation results in a written report to the Court, and includes the
following components: Two to three interviews with the defendant are conducted by the Probation
Officer, who, during the first contact with the defendant refers him or her to a Certified Alcohol
Counselor for an evaluation and a subsequent recommendation. Concurrent to this referral the DWI
Officer administers the Mortimer-Filkins test, an instrument designed by the National Highway Safety
Administration to determine the individual's attitude, past rehabilitative efforts, past and current
drinking driving behavior, health problems, and general behavior in regard to alcohol and driving. The
test score is indicative of social drinking behavior, problem drinking behavior or presumptive problem
drinker. Family history, employment history, and past criminal history are explored in an effort to
produce a total picture. After the information is gathered and evaluated, a recommendation for
sentencing is presented to the court.
A recommendation for a Probation sentence (supervision by the DWI Officer) includes
specific alcohol related conditions that the probationer must obey. The entire supervision plan is an
attempt to prevent recidivism. Conditions of Probation for alcohol related driving offenses have been
standardized to include: alcohol counseling, no alcohol consumption, remaining out of establishments
where alcohol is served for on premises consumption, and testing for continued alcohol/drug usage.
Driving without a valid New York State license and applying for a license without prior written
approval from the Courts are also prohibited. Home and employment visits are made regularly, as are
occasional "bar checks" to verify compliance. Attendance at Alcoholic Anonymous Meetings is
recommended in an effort to assist the probationer with a positive support network that hopefully will
continue after the probation sentence expires. Research has shown that 87 percent of those who
attended AA meetings for one to five years will remain alcohol -free, a fact which offers a ray of hope
for ending repeat offenses.
Supervision of probationers convicted of DWI and/or Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a
Motor Vehicle involves weekly contact with the Probation Officer at the Probation Department, at the
probationer's home, or at the probationer's place of employment. The intensive level of supervision is
necessary in order to monitor the progress the probationer is making in regard to alcohol counseling and
his or her level of functioning at home, at work and in the community. If the probationer is unable to
benefit from outpatient alcohol counseling or is having difficulty maintaining law abiding behavior,
s/he is referred to either inpatient treatment for a 28-30 day period or the matter is returned to Court for
review of the status of the case. If the probationer becomes a significant risk to the community and is
unable to meet his or her obligation to cooperate with specific alcohol related conditions of probation,
then incarceration is recommended.
According to a December 1987 report from the New York State Department of Probation and
Correctional Alternatives Alcohol Program Unit, DWI is the largest and fastest growing crime category
in New York State. From October 1985 to October 1987 there has been a 30 percent jump in New
York State DWI probation supervision caseloads. As indicated on the following page, the number of
DWI probation supervision cases is now greater than these in three other general crime classifications.

SERVICE WORK ALTERNATIVE PROGRAM
The Service Work Alternative Program (SWAP) is a community service program intended to
provide the courts with a post -conviction sanction, for appropriate defendants, that is an alternative to
incarceration sentences. Such a sanction is intended to: reduce the local jail population, and, thus the
cost of incarcerations; allow defendants to remain within the family, community, and work place; and
provide a form of restitution to the community. Persons referred to SWAP by court order are placed at
non-profit agencies, governmental offices, or on a Weekend Work Crew so as to perform unpaid
services. The Program Coordinator screens referred persons, places them in an appropriate site,
monitors the quality and quantity of their performance, and reports that information to the sentencing
court. If the participant is on Probation Supervision, their Probation Officer is advised as to the
defendant's performance.
The Weekend Work Crew is an experimental program that is paid for by the New York State
Division of Probation and Correctional Alternatives (NYSDPCA). A specially created position, a
one-half time employee of the Probation Department, provides constant and direct supervision of the
crew. The crew may be composed of up to eight persons who have been identified as being at risk of
incarceration. Each weekend, the crew travels to sites (again, non-profit and governmental agencies)
throughout the county to complete projects ranging from picking -up litter along the highway, and
grounds maintenance, to rather complicated interior renovation projects. We believe that the program
is now ready to prove itself to the courts and the community.
Prior to 1987, the program underwent rather major reorientation and restructuring so as to
more stringently adhere to NYSDPCA dictates of providing a true alternative to incarceration. This
required the development of an entire program of new paper forms, accountability and reporting
systems, communications, and the development and maintenance of agency relationships that are quite
different from the "typical" and traditional human service agency inter -relationships within which
Probation is used to working.
During 1987, nearly 40 persons completed over 2,000 hours of community service. This is a
decrease in hours completed from 1986. This may be the result of : 1) The targeted population becoming
narrower (only those who would be sentenced to jail); the departmental need to have the Program Coordinator
assume more temporary assignments as the result of professional staff.
406
turnover, and 3) the reluctance of the courts
community service.
During 1988, we hope to reach -out more
the Criminal Justice system so as to be able to
appropriate for alternative sentencing.

"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.

Tammy L. Negus
Sr. Account Clerk -Typist
Since July 1984, the Tompkins County Probation Department has been actively using
urinalysis screening to detect cannabinoid (marijuana), alcohol, and other drug use among
probationers. Usually the testing is done by court order (as a condition of probation supervision),
but sometimes it is submitted on a voluntary basis.
The 1987 budget for urinalysis was $4000 and there was a $268.30 carry over from 1986.
In October 1987, a budget transfer in the amount of 11000 was requested of the Tompkins County
Board of Representatives. As of December 31, 1987, there was a free balance of $149.15 in this
account, attesting to the volume of testing required to effectively monitor the compliance of
probationers to a drug free existence. 407
A total of 333 tests were taken during the year 1987: cannabinoid --I 76, full drug screens --126, and
alcohol --31. That figure broke down to 29.4 tests conducted each month.
Urinalyses are invaluable to Probation Officers to monitor probationers' use of drugs or alcohol.
Normally, probationers are ordered to abstain from the use of these substances, whether or not they have been
involved with difficulty with the substances before. However, urinalysis testing is usually done on those
probationers who have a history of substance abuse. Ordinarily, a positive result on a urinalysis is used as a
tool to require treatment or, as a last resort, as verification of a Violation of Probation proceeding.
Urinalysis for alcohol is expensive. In an effort to cut costs, the Probation Department uses Alco -
Scan tabs to do preliminary testing for alcohol. If the preliminary test proves positive, a urinalysis is done for
final proof. In 1987, 340 Alco -Scans were used for a total cost of $480.10. If those Alco -Scans had not been
available, urinalysis for alcohol would have cost $5780. Therefore, a saving of $5299.90 was made through
the use of Alco -Scans.
Due to the fact that the urinalysis budget has increased over the past few years, the Probation
Department has asked for an increase to $6,000 for 1988.

NEW YORK STATEWIDE POLICE INFORMATION NETWORK (NYSPIN) SYSTEM COMPUTER
TERMINAL
The NYSPIN System allows for direct access, via the terminal located at the department, 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 Systems (PRS) is available and all criminal supervision probation cases are
registered with this system.
During 1987, a total of 1653 messages were sent via the system to the Department of Criminal
Justice Services, National Crime Information Center, and other relevant agencies. This total represents an
increase of 83 messages over 1986.
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
Many of the cases now petitioned into the Family Court as alleged Persons in Need of Supervision
(PINS) could be resolved more effectively and efficiently through the direct provision of needed services to
the youth and family. This is the premise upon which the New York State Legislature based its action in 1985,
enacting legislation which mandates that all PINS cases be handled by the Probation Department at the
informal Intake/Diversion level, unless there are certain very specific extenuating circumstances. The
legislation also requires that a designated assessment service be established, to provide assessments for each
eligible youth and family.
In November 1985, the Tompkins County Board of Representatives designated the Probation
Department as the lead agency in a county wide effort, aimed at developing a detailed, comprehensive plan for
delivering services to the PINS youth and families. In June I987, after many months of inter -agency planning
meetings, the County Plan was completed and submitted to
408
the state inter -agency team. The plan was approved in late 1987, and calls for implementation in
January 1988.
Goals include the development of a coordinated system of assessment and case planning,
that will assure a qualified youth and family fast access to appropriate services at the lowest level
of institutional intervention. Thirty five thousand dollars ($35,000) will accrue to the County to
offset expenses detailed in the plan. There are two funded components: 1. Designated Assessment
Service is comprised of Stuart Grinnell, Director of the Tompkins County Mental Health Clinic;
Greg Kirchgessner, Tompkins County Department of Social Services Preventive Unit Supervisor;
and Walt Cogswell, Senior Probation Officer. 2. The Community Dispute Resolution Center will
provide pre -assessment mediations on a short notice basis, and four -session post -assessment
mediations for youth and families.
The County -wide PINS planning team will continue to meet, at least quarterly, to assess
program progress, and initiate needed changes.
Lois D. King
Probation Supervisor
STAFF DEVELOPMENT
With one exception, all staff members received at least their required minimum training
hours in 1987. Staff development annual goals were met, and we even managed to complete some
excellent visitation and fundamentals training despite an inordinately large staff turnover.
The bulk of our training was provided locally and appears to have been of useable or
high quality. Over 550 hours of total training were provided in 1987.
In 1988, it is anticipated that there will be over 1000 hours of training just in
fundamentals courses for new probation officer staff. We also will be exploring such areas as:
Effective goal setting and supervision techniques, time management, dispute mediation and
information management.
William R. Benjamin
Probation Supervisor
INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
Seven students successfully completed their internship in the 1986-87 academic year.
They carne from Tompkins Cortland Community College, Cornell University, and Ithaca College
and were assigned throughout the Department. Each intern did a minimum of ten hours per week.
This resulted in over 2,000 hours of time provided to the Tompkins County Probation clients at no
cost to the Department beyond supervision expectations.
Presently there are five interns for the 1987-88 academic year. This program is viewed as
being mutually beneficial to the County and the colleges.
William R. Benjamin
Probation Supervisor
COMMUNITY AGENCY INTERFACING
The effective functioning of the Probation Department is dependent upon strong
working relationships with the 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.
409
During 1987, 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, The Stop -DWI Program and the Community Dispute
Resolution Center.
Probation Personnel have also represented the department on advisory committees to:
The Tompkins County Family Court, Ithaca City Youth Bureau, Alternative Community School,
subcommittees of the Mental Health Board and Child Protective Unit of the Department of Social
Services. Staff involvement with the Sexual Abuse Task Force, Community Case Management
Team, Justice Awareness Program (Bottom Line), Day Care Task Force and Literacy Volunteers of
America continued. The expertise of Probation staff persons has also been sought for temporary
task forces/study groups that are established from time to time.

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.
I. 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.
11. Medical Assistance (Medicaid) makes direct payments to providers of medical services on
behalf of eligible recipients.
III. 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.
VI, 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 Tompkins County Horne and Farm was maintained to provide a controlled
environment for persons unable to function in a private setting. However, 1987 was the end
of an era as the County Home was officially closed in October of this year. All residents
were successfully placed in other facilities or private homes. Sale of the Horne and Farm is
pending.
All caseload and financial summaries are on file in the Department of Social Services.
