programs and services, and
WHEREAS, such a reduction is disproportionate to other reductions in aid to localities or to
reductions in State operations, and
WHEREAS, these reductions do not take into consideration the impact of inflation, salary

due to reduced state reimbursement in the Education of Handicapped Children's Program, and

reduction in support from State government can only have a costly and detrimental impact upon the
quality of life for the citizens of our communities and the State of New York, and

State lottery funds, lower legislative and gubernatorial pay, trim ombudsman offices, and the like.

recommendations may be treated as special requests by the County,
RESOLVED, further, That the following process shall be used by the Coalition in its review of
requests for the funding:
1. The Coalition may recommend funding for a portion of a request;
2. The Coalition is not required to recommend expenditure of all of the funds allocated by the

the Human Services Coalition, the Coalition may consider recommending conditional funding. The
Coalition will recommend the conditions of the funding.
9. If any agency decides not to offer a service, or the Human Services Coalition determines
during the review process that a provider is no longer able to offer the service, but the need for the service
is still found to be high, the Human Services Coalition may request that money be encumbered for that
service, subject to final review and recommendation by the Human Services Coalition to the Human
Services Committee.
10. If any program, previously reviewed through the Human Services Coalition process, is to be
reviewed through any other County process in 1991, the 1991 dollars attached to the program will be part
of the review process.
RESOLVED, further, That the Coalition will use as the basis for allocation of funds the following
criteria:
1. Severity of the need that the program identifies and addresses in Tompkins County;
2. Financial need of the client population;
3. Effect on the Tompkins County community if the service is not available or is available at
reduced level;
4. Agency's organizational ability to deliver proposed services and meet the needs of clients;
5. Effectiveness of agency planning, and management of fiscal and personnel resources;
6. Agency financial need, including needs caused by cost of living increases;
Where necessary, the Coalition's recommendations shall also take note of problems concerning
duplication of service or countywide service delivery, though these should not be scored among the above
criteria in the evaluation instrument,
RESOLVED, further, That in its 1992 Work Plan, the Coalition will continue a systematic review
of all agencies receiving health or human service grant funding from Tompkins County. This review
shall evaluate efficiency of agency administration and effectiveness of service delivery. The Coalition

Committee for recommending to the Board of Representatives by December 1, 1991 a plan for this
review and specific actions to be taken in 1992,

review process and the activities of the Coalition, and that a summary of the results of this survey shall be
distributed to the agencies and to the Human Services Committee,
RESOLVED, further, That the Human Services Coalition will evaluate and update its plan to

waste expenditures plus recycling expenditures since January 1, 1991.
3. Special Requests: Any requests for funding by a department head or agency that exceed the
guidelines above must be designated by the requesting party as special requests. Any recommendations
by a program committee or by the Budget and Administration Committee of any special request must be
accompanied by a ranking using the scoring grid from one to five (1 to 5) for the following criteria:
1. Severity of need;
2. Proportion of Tompkins County population experiencing the need;
3. Ability and appropriateness of department or agency to deliver service;
4. Appropriateness of proposed method of meeting need;
5. Geographical dispersion of population receiving services (highest score equals population is
geographically dispersed, non -Tompkins County residents are not served);
6. Service recipients charged based on ability to pay (only where appropriate);
7. Spending leverages other funds; and
8. Long-term savings generated by proposal.
Recommending parties must accompany all special request recommendations with their
recommended score (from 1 to 5) for each of these eight criteria. Requesting parties (departments and
agencies) are encouraged to accompany all requests with clear, understandable, credible data to support
the need for the spending requested based on each of these eight criteria.
Special requests in the areas of General Government Support (includes Buildings and Grounds)
shall not be scored on the above criteria since by definition they do not involve service delivery but rather
central support to those units of County government that are themselves delivering services. Proposals in
this area should be reviewed only based on the organizational efficiency they can be expected to provide
and their responsiveness to the needs generated by service delivery departments and the requirements of
auditing entities.
4. Mandates: For the purposes of these guidelines, spending that is legally mandated as to
existence as Tompkins County budget items for which there is no local option, or extremely limited local
option, are defined for the 1992 budget as follows:

Administration Committee, Mr. Heyman, County Administrator, and Ms. West, Deputy County
Administrator.
Chairman Mason asked that Mr. Watros, Chairman, Budget and Administration Committee, chair
the public hearing.
Mr. Watros, Chairman, Budget and Administration Committee, stated that the Committee has
tried very hard to develop what it sees as a realistic budget that would work in 1992. Mr. Watros stated
that the proposed budget is subject to significant changes. The proposed budget calls for a 15 percent
property tax increase and a reduction in County services.
Mr. Heyman, County Administrator, explained the budget process and what is affected by the
proposed 1992 Tompkins County budget. Mr. Heyman explained that the process begins with the Board
of Representatives adopting a set of guidelines which the County Administrator follows in making
recommendations to the Board. Mr. Heyman stated that the major trends in the proposed 1992 Tompkins
County budget are all negative. The impact that this recession has had was unexpected and worse than

County employees. Mr. Heyman welcomed any member of the public to meet with him to discuss budget
options.

average foster care placement costs the County approximately $12,000 per year and that by putting this
money back into the budget the time children spend in foster care will be reduced.
Lynn Jackier, City of Ithaca resident and President of the Drop-in Children's Center Board of

volunteer, stated that she believes people are using the public library more due to the recession. She
stated that people need the low-cost service that the library provides.
Mary Beth Holub, dairy farmer in the Town of Newfield, stated that farmers have had enough tax
increase. She asked that County services be cut to the minimum and stated that she also is in support of a

increase.

increase in sales tax at this time but to establish a task force on this issue.
Carman Hill, Town of Ulysses, thanked the Board for their dedication and service. Mr. Hill
asked that property tax not be increased. He stated that he believes County employees should not receive

November 20, 1991
Robin Messing, Ithaca, spoke to the Board in opposition of a sales tax increase. Ms. Messing

Beverly Snow Cretser, Executive Director, Alcoholism Council of Tompkins County, explained
the time in which a person currently remains on a waiting list to be seen at the Council. She stated that
