(Representative Winch). Resolution carried.
RESOLVED, That the following Fiscal Plan for Tompkins County Government is hereby adopted
in concert with the accompanying resolution requesting authorization to increase the local sales tax from
three to four cents:
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: During recent years, this Board has authorized significant
increases in net local spending for optional services wanted and needed by the citizens of Tompkins
County, yet has been able to maintain a stable balance of unappropriated funds and a reasonable real
property tax levy.
During 1991, however, an economic recession had a far worse -than- expected impact on County
government, forcing a property tax levy increase approaching 15 percent, depletion of the General Fund
Balance to less than a third of its target level, and consideration of a major increase in sales taxes.
Imposition of unfunded mandates on local government by the Federal and State governments continued
to accelerate and to create additional pressure on regressive, unfair, unpopular real property taxes. And
all the above occurred in the face of a decreasing ability of the public to pay the costs of government.
Because of all of the above, this Fiscal Plan is intended to provide a clear guide for County
administrators and elected officials during the years ahead. Its purposes are to stabilize County finances,
to cut back and then restrain net local spending, to resist more effectively unfunded mandates, to
minimize negative impacts on needed services through establishment of service priorities, and to provide
significant reduction in the Tompkins County real property tax.
1. General Fund Balance Stability
The proceeds to Tompkins County of any increase in the local sales tax shall be used first to
restore the General Fund Balance to five percent of estimated total annual expenditures, exclusive of
construction costs paid with borrowed funds.
The County Administrator is charged with monitoring the projected year-end General Fund
Balance on a monthly basis and with submitting recommendations to reduce spending and/or to increase
user fees to compensate for any projected shortfall from a target level at year-end of 5 percent of all
approved expenditures (except for construction) no later than the calendar month following. Each
department will notify the County Administrator monthly of any projected shortfall or excess in net local
spending.
2. Mandates
Net local expenditures for Education of Handicapped Children, Legal Defense of Indigents, Social
Services and the Tompkins County Jail shall be calculated separately from the remainder of the County
budget and shall be fully described and explained to the public at least yearly. As strict legal mandates,
imposed in every case by both the Federal Government and the State of New York, these four areas of
expense shall be exempt from the guidelines below.
This Board and appropriate committees shall work with the County Administrator and other
appropriate County staff to address the rapidly increasing cost of educating handicapped children, and in
particular, shall work with the current initiative of the New York State Association of Counties to
provide expertise to the counties of New York State so that all children entitled to services will be
appropriately identified and served in the least restrictive environment, both as required by Federal Law,
and to ensure that tuition rates are reasonable and appropriate.
This Board, appropriate committees and County staff shall continue to address in an organized
fashion all available means of reducing the population of the Tompkins County Jail without unreasonably
endangering the safety of this community.
This Board and appropriate committees shall resume their review of the program for provision
of free attorneys to indigent persons accused of crimes and sued in the Family Court, and to ensure that
expenditures are necessary and reasonable.
This Board shall review carefully all proposals for reform of the Social Service System, and
particularly the Medicaid Program, in the State of New York and shall endorse any changes that restrict
or eliminate unnecessary services or abuse of entitlements.
23
February 4, 1992
3. Reduction in the Size and Scope of County Government
The County Administrator is charged with presenting recommendations that reduce net local
spending for both ongoing items and other one-time expenditures by Tompkins County Government in
1992 at an annualized rate of $500,000.
Unless and until additional planning guidance is provided to the County Administrator by this
Board pursuant to #4c below, reductions shall be kept in reasonably proportionate balance based on the
percentage of net local spending in each category listed in #4a below. EXAMPLE: In the 1992 adopted
budget, net local spending for Education is $1,806,127, 18.1 percent of net local spending in the entire
budget excluding mandates; therefore, approximately 18.1 percent of reductions would come from
Education.
Procedures for implementing these reductions shall be recommended by the County
Administrator to the Budget and Administration Committee of this Board for full Board of
Representatives approval at the second scheduled Board meeting during the month following approval of
this resolution. Offers of assistance from the community in this process will be gratefully considered.
4. Stabilization of Net Local Spending
a. All expenditures and revenues in the remainder of the Tompkins County budget shall be
divided into the categories of Community Services, Education, General Government Support, Health,
Human Services, Public Safety and Public Works. For the purpose of these guidelines, the unallocated
revenues shall be allocated on proportional basis to each of these seven areas and to the mandated
expenditures listed in #2 above. Construction expenses paid with other than borrowed funds, and debt
service expenses, shall be included appropriately in the seven categories.
b. Through December 31, 1993 net local expenditures for the seven categories of the County
budget listed in #4a above shall not increase in the recommendations of the County Administrator nor the
budget review committees of this Board by a percentage rate greater than the rate of inflation according
to the most recent available 12 month period from the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, All
Urban Wage Earners Index. With respect to the 1993 budget, this inflation increase shall be calculated
after the reductions in #3 above are effected.
c. This Board renews its determination first approved in Resolution No. 228 of June 1990, and
pursued actively since that time, to improve its process of priority -setting among the categories of
services it supports through a process of community comment and discussion.
d. The Board of Representatives may, as a result of the process described in #4c during the
process of establishing budget guidelines for any ensuing year, determine that the percentage increase in
net local spending for each of the seven categories listed in #4a above may vary provided that the overall
limit stated in #4b above is adhered to.
5. Tax Rate Projection
This Board by adopting this resolution commits itself to supporting the intent of this plan. As
described above, this commitment, in priority order, shall be 1) to restore and then maintain the General
Fund Balance to 5 percent of project annual spending exclusive of construction project spending using
borrowed funds; 2) to reduce the County real property tax significantly below its current level effective
in 1993, said reductions being dependent on changes in the net local cost of the four (4) mandates in #2
above; and 3) to restrain the growth of net local spending in optional areas, including quick action to
reduce spending when any aid or other revenue reductions become known.

WHEREAS, a study undertaken for New York State Energy Research and Development Authority
(NYSERDA) in 1990 concluded that New York State had substantial unrealized, achievable and cost-
effective electrical conservation potential, and
WHEREAS, improving the efficiency with which electricity is used can save money for electrical
consumers, reduce the need to build new generation and transmission facilities, improve the financial
performance of utilities, reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and other pollutants, increase economic
productivity, improve utilities' relations with their costumers and regulators, and enhance the economic
competitiveness of the State's business, and
WHEREAS, energy conservation and increased energy efficiency, collectively known as Demand
Side Management (DSM), have been increasingly and successively implemented within the State, and
such DSM programs have consistently exceeded the expectations of the utilities and regulators, and
WHEREAS, a recent study concluded that the long-term employment impacts of DSM are
significantly more positive than either constructing new power plants, or importing energy resources and
electricity from outside the State, and job retention and creation within the State resulting from DSM
implementation would provide substantial economic benefits to the State, including expanded economic
activity and increased revenues for local and state government, and
WHEREAS, an aggressive implementation of DSM programs would enhance the State's self-
sufficiency, environmental quality, economic productivity and national and international
competitiveness, and
WHEREAS, alternative energy sources such as passive solar, solar voltaic, wind, and fuels from
biomass have been demonstrated increasingly to be effective and cost competitive, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the Tompkins County Board of Representatives requests that all reasonable
energy efficiency and conservation technologies be reviewed and implemented by all appropriate County
and local Government bodies in order to effect energy savings,
RESOLVED, further, That in reviewing and implementing the annual budget, the Tompkins
County Board of Representatives will examine conservation and increased energy efficiency as a part of
budget projections,
RESOLVED, further, That the Tompkins County Board of Representatives urgently requests the
New York State Legislature to enact legislation codifying an energy plan that would encompass demand
side management, energy conservation, alternative energy sources and energy self-sufficiency.

Public Hearing
Chairman Watros called the public hearing to order at 5:33 p.m. concerning proposed Local Law
No. 1 of 1992 providing for the process for the designation of the official newspaper of Tompkins
County and providing for public notice for the adoption of local laws by the Tompkins County Board of
Representatives.
Chairman Watros asked if anyone wished to speak?
Steve Proctor, 527 North Aurora Street, Editor of Trumansburg Free Press and Newfield News,
spoke in opposition to the proposed local law. He said it is a matter of freedom of choice and greater
access. He said 2,500 papers are circulated in Tompkins County which is read by 8,000 to 9,000 readers.
Jim Bilinski, Publisher, Trumansburg Free Press and Newfield News, also spoke in opposition of
the proposed local law. He also said 2,500 papers per week are circulated and most of the readers are
homeowners and do not subscribe to the Ithaca Journal. He said the County should continue with the
current designation of two official newspapers. He feels County residents will deny proper notice of
County business such as local laws and that it would conflict with the publics right -to -know. He said he
has not found any other county in New York State that designates one newspaper. He feels Tompkins
County residents deserve to be informed of the actions taken by their County government. He also feels
the Board should not allow a reduction in the flow of information and continue to designate two official
newspapers. He said he would propose a delay in the vote until a further study is done.
Chairman Watros closed the public hearing at 5:40 p.m.
Members and guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance.

activities of the TCAD and Industrial Development Agency (IDA). He said 1991 was a very successful
year and finished up on projects that resulted in the construction of 300,000 square feet of space in the
community valued at over 23 million dollars and is projected to create 200 new jobs in the next couple of
years. In 1992, TCAD will be working on many projects and breaking ground on two new facilities
valued at 5 million dollars. Tompkins County Area Development also plans to look for additional funds
to expand the minority women revolving loan fund and also working on creation of a regional economic
development plan. He clarified that TCAD is a not-for-profit corporation which is the staffed economic
development agency in the County and IDA is a financing vehicle or incentive vehicle with the Tompkins
County Area Development used to provide staffing services to the IDA. Discussion followed concerning
abatement on sales tax for construction materials. He also said TCAD annual reports are available.

reduction plan for the County be clarified. Andy Sciarabba of Sciarabba, Walker and Company, and
Andy LaVigne are reviewing material they received. Mr. LaVigne said they are coming along well with
reviewing the material and will plan on getting together and discussing with the Fiscal Affairs Committee
their report. Mr. Todd said the two men offered their services and hope they have some good ideas and
that they are taking an objective look at the documentation. Mr. Stein stated that the understanding is
that any cost reduction plan is a matter of public policy that comes out of this Board.

stated that the project was more extensively involved than had been originally anticipated, and he
73

complimented Jim Kazda for reviewing the plans and supervising the project on a daily basis. Mr. Winch
restated the necessity of having a County staff member explain plans thoroughly and supervise projects.
Mr. Todd, Chairman, Fiscal Affairs Committee, reported on the March 9th committee meeting.
Mr. Todd stated that two resolutions were advanced to the Budget and Administration Committee - one
for the fiscal plan and the other for assigned council. He announced that Andy Sciarabba and Andy
LaVigne are continuing to gather information for the survey and will present this survey in a month or
two.
Mrs. Livesay, Chair, Solid Waste and Resource Management Committee, reported on the March
12, 1992 committee meeting and the meeting prior to Board meeting this evening. Mrs. Livesay stated
that the committee met to review the out of County hauling and disposal bids and the Flow Control Law
to discuss recommendations of modification. Mrs. Livesay reported that the committee will have one
more meeting to incorporate these changes and asked Board members to look over this report and return
comments in writing. She explained that the committee needs to draft rules and regulations to come
before the Board for approval and will need to act on these April 7, 1992 or the following meeting. Mrs.
Livesay reported that the committee discussed disposal fee reductions proposal and that the committee
was unable to make a positive recommendation at this time but will discuss it again at the next committee
meeting. Mrs. Livesay announced that the out of County hauling and disposal bids came in last Friday
(March 13, 1992) at a $500,000 savings. She reported that the Solid Waste Management Advisory
Committee proposed Solid Waste Management plan needs to be submitted to New York State by May 1st
and will need to submit to the Board for review on March 25th. Mrs. Livesay stated that April 6th and
8th there will be public meetings for informal hearings on the plan; April 9th the committee will make
comments to the Solid Waste Manager in order to authorize submission. Mrs. Livesay stated that the
Solid Waste Management Advisory Committee is handling the finance study and will need to authorize
the report on technical assistance for the composting facility. Mrs. Livesay stated that the Advisory
Board will need more time to discuss this issue. The committee will meet again on April 9th at noon.
Mr. Heyman, County Administrator, spoke on behalf of the County Office For the Aging Director
Search Committee and stated that the committee should have an appointee in three weeks. Mr. Heyman
also spoke in regards to policy changes. He stated that he and the Clerk of the Board spoke about the
possibility of authorizing committees to take action on items such as award of bids and minor transfers
thus decreasing the number of resolutions needing the full Board's approval and also decreasing the
number of pages in the proceedings. Mr. Heyman restated that this would entail adding the resolution to
the Board agenda and the committee chair would withdraw if there were no objections, otherwise, if there
were objections, the Board would then vote on the resolution.
Mr. Mulvey, County Attorney, had no report.
Mr. Winch, Vice Chairman, Budget and Administration Committee, reported that the
subcommittee for the reclassification study met to review positions. Mr. Winch stated that the committee
spent a great deal of time reviewing job descriptions and that the ratings will go to the State and will be
acted upon by the committee. Mr. Winch stated that it took a great deal of time, and he complimented
Mrs. Call and Mrs. Livesay for all their hard work and time.

Moved Mr. Winch and seconded by Ms. Mink.
It was Moved by Mr. Lerner, seconded by Mr. Proto, to delete the following first paragraph in
number 3 of Rule XVI of the Rules of the Board: "In the event that staff members seek the intervention of
Board members in solving what they view as administrative or operational problems, Board members
must neither offer to intervene in such matters nor do so. Rather the Board member should direct the staff
member to the applicable procedures, and if desired, request that the County Administrator monitor the
situation and report back to the Board member." A voice vote on the amendment resulted as follows:
Ayes - 8 (Representatives Culligan, Dietrich, Lerner, Livesay, Mink, Proto, Schuler and Stein); Noes - 4

RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Administration Committee, That Rule XVI of
the Rules of the Board and Resolution No. 14 of 1991 amending Rule XVI of the Rules of the Board be
amended as follows:
RULE XVI - ACQUIRING AND DISCLOSING INFORMATION
Board members who need information from County staff to assist them in developing policy shall
transmit information requests to the County Administrator or to the department head, or directly to
department staff.
Notwithstanding the above, the Chairman of the Board may transmit any request for information to
any department head.
Whenever Board members seek information directly from departmental staff, the following
procedures should be pursued since individual Board members do not supervise staff nor do they establish
or change programs. These are:
1. If the information request is more than minimal in terms of the staff time required, the Board
member should direct the inquiries to the chair of the committee to which that department reports. If the
committee chair declines to authorize the request, an appeal may be made to the committee; and if that
fails, to the full Board.
2. A Board member should never attempt to influence the conduct of a staff person on the job.
Any concerns that a Board member has about a staff person's conduct on the job or job performance
should be directed to the County Administrator and/or the Board of Representatives committee
responsible for the Personnel function.
106
March 17, 1992
In the event that any Board member does so attempt to influence the conduct of a County staff
member on the job, the staff person should bring this to the attention of the department head who will in
turn notify the County Administrator.
Members of the Board of Representatives shall be bound by regulations implementing the Freedom
of Information Law, specifically New York State Codes, Rules and Regulations, Title 21, Chapter 25,
Part 1401.
Any Board member may review any documents in the office of the County Administrator relative
to job performance of any manager. Any Board member who wishes to review these documents must
sign his/her name in a log maintained in the office of the County Administrator, indicating date of review,
names of employee files reviewed, and knowledge of legal restrictions on release of confidential
information. Information concerning the job performance of any manager will not be removed from the
office of the County Administrator except to be reviewed in the Board of Representatives' Chambers.
SEQR ACTION: EXEMPT OR TYPE II

RESOLUTION NO. 106 - IMPLEMENTATION OF RESOLUTION NO. 13 OF 1992 -
ADOPTION OF FISCAL PLAN FOR TOMPKINS COUNTY
GOVERNMENT (AMENDED BY RESOLUTION NO. 286 OF 1992)
Moved by Mr. Winch, seconded by Mr. Todd.
It was Moved by Mrs. Dietrich, seconded by Ms. Mink, to add the following wording: "excluding
the reclassifications and re -ratings of the pay equity study" in the second paragraph, section 5 after "re -
ratings of positions..". A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 12; Noes - 0; Excused - 3 (Representatives
Call, Evans and Shurtleff). Amendment carried.
A voice vote on the resolution as amended resulted as follows: Ayes - 12; Noes - 0; Excused - 3
(Representatives Call, Evans and Shurtleff). Resolution as amended, adopted.
WHEREAS, Resolution No. 13 of 1992, Adoption of Fiscal Plan for Tompkins County
Government, requires in paragraph #3 that net local spending by Tompkins County government be
reduced by the sum of $500,000 during 1992 and thereafter, and further requires that procedures for
implementing these reductions must be recommended to the Budget and Administration Committee and
to the County Board by the March 17, 1992 meeting of the County Board, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Fiscal Affairs and Budget and Administration
Committees, That the following procedures be established to carry out the above requirements:
1. Each County department head is required to achieve during 1992 the net local savings
indicated on a document prepared by the Deputy County Administrator and entitled "Fiscal Plan
Implementation - Allocation of Reductions" and dated March 9, 1992, unless the department's program
committee and the Budget and Administration Committee authorize a plan that provides for a multi-year
savings plan.
2. Department heads shall present their plans to carry out these reductions to the County
Administrator, County Comptroller and to their program committee, according to existing procedures for
the routing of departmental recommendations. It is not a requirement that department heads present all of
their plans at one time.
3. All department heads must meet the targets referenced above. In the event that they do not, the
amount of any shortfall, when it becomes known, shall result in a corresponding reduction in the
department's authorized net local spending during a subsequent year.
107
March 17, 1992
4. Not withstanding the above requirements, Program Committees may, within the policies of this
Board, determine that the targeted reductions will vary from the March 9, 1992 document cited above

should steer not row; government should empower communities and should provide choice and real
ownership and a neighborhood base for what it does; should encourage competition and not monopoly;
should be driven by mission and not by rules; should fund outcomes rather than inputs; should meet
customers needs and not the needs of the bureaucracy; should concentrate on earning, not just spending;
should invest in prevention, not just cure, and should decentralize authority. He stated that he personally

No. 9 (Groton) was limited as only two sides connected with Tompkins County. Mr. Stein stated that

Under privilege of the floor, Donald Barber, Environmental Management Council (EMC)

early in the Planning process.
Under privilege of the floor, Doug Brown, Doug's Trash Removal, discussed the disposal fee and
that the Auburn landfill is no longer available for his business. He reiterated that the disposal fee system

Under privilege of the floor, Bill Raynor, Treasurer of the Board of Trustees and Chairman of the
Administrative Affairs Committee, Tompkins Cortland Community College, stated that the budgets have
the full support of the Board and urged the passage of the three resolutions on the Board agenda.
Mrs. Livesay, Chairman, Solid Waste and Resource Management Committee, introduced Maurice
Hinchey, New York State Assemblyman, Chairman of the Environmental Conservation Committee of the
Assembly and Chairman of the Legislative Commission on Solid Waste. He spoke about the Solid Waste
Management Act of 1988.
Mr. Hinchey began by saying it was very constructive for him to be able to listen to the public
comment as most of it was related to solid waste issues. He said that this is a troublesome issue and one
that is increasingly expensive for communities around the State and Country. He first got involved in
solid waste was in 1980. The State advanced, in 1972, an environmental quality bond act which focused
on solid waste management by building waste disposal facilities, particularly incinerators which were
191
July 14, 1992
called waste energy plants. This was at the time when oil prices were very high. It was thought that
waste management problems could be solved by burning garbage and at the same time generating steam
and producing electricity which would save money what would otherwise be used to purchase oil. That
policy continued throughout the 1970's. In the latter part of the 1970's focus was taken away from the
disposal concept and concentration was placed on waste reduction and recycling. In 1980 legislation was
passed which took five million dollars out of the 1972 Bond Act which would have gone to incineration
and reallocated it for recycling. This money was used up very quickly and additional money was not
allocated to these programs until the Solid Waste Management Act of 1988. The Act also established a
public policy which said the primary focus of attention should be waste reduction, reuse, recycling and
then disposal. A question which continues to arise is where the money for this would come from. For the
last several years, Mr. Hinchey stated that he has been trying to get the legislature the adopt the
Environmental Trust Fund which would take money from existing revenue from the general fund and
allocate it specifically to an environmental trust fund which would provide money for this purpose. Last
year and again this year, the State Assembly passed and environmental trust fund which would provide
approximately 100 million dollars each year based upon existing revenues. Mr. Hinchey stated that he is
familiar with the direction Tompkins County is headed with waste reduction, composting and recycling
and feels that it is the right direction and that Tompkins County is the most advanced on the county level.
Mrs. Call asked Mr. Hinchey if he believed other States would pass legislation to prevent the
importation of solid waste. Mr. Hinchey stated that he believes there is a good possibility this would
happen. Ms. Mink stated that one thing she has noticed while being on the Board is that long range
planning circumstances change. Mr. Hinchey stated that frequently the Depaitment of Environmental
Conservation has not been quick for the need to change. He thinks, however, that the major focus of
attention has to be on waste reduction and recycling, not only for environmental reasons but also for
economic reasons, as the price of disposal will continue to increase as landfills are being closed across the
country. Mr. Hinchey thanked the Board for the opportunity to attend and speak concerning the subject
of solid waste.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Mason, Representative, District No. 15, reported on a satellite
conference on the aging population that he and Mr. Winch, Representative, District No. 8, attended. He
stated that videotapes are available through Cooperative Extension.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Evans, Representative, District No. 13, stated that he considered
presenting a resolution to be considered by the Board to reduce the tipping fee from $145 to $95 per ton
based on his feelings that the fee is so high it makes it easier for persons to break the law by continuing to
transfer out of County. However, after reviewing spreadsheets to look at what the implications were, on a
very conservative basis this would create a substantial deficit in the Solid Waste budget by the end of the
year. Mr. Evans asked Mrs. Livesay about the Flow Control law in regard to private individuals being
exempt from the law and allowed to transfer solid waste out of the County.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Shurtleff, Representative, District No. 9, spoke concerning solid
waste issues. Mr. Shurtleff expressed his concern for his constituents in Groton who have no garbage
hauler at the present time. Although Mr. Shurtleff thanked Mrs. Livesay for her time and effort on solid
waste matters, he expressed his frustration over the solid waste situation in Tompkins County.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Winch, Representative, District No. 8, also spoke about the
satellite conference he attended with Mr. Mason. He said that one of the statistics referred to on the tape

RESOLUTION NO. 252 - REDUCE TIPPING FEE TO $90 PER TON
Moved by Mr. Todd, seconded by Mr. Proto.
Mr. Squires, County Comptroller, began discussion by saying that Tompkins County is confronted
with a deficit situation with the current system. He stated that passage of this resolution would increase
the deficit substantially and that if revenue streams are decreased, revenue costs should also be reduced.
He stated that at a conservative estimate he foresees $125,000 per month loss in revenues and the County
cannot sustain that kind of loss. He referred to a memorandum addressed to the Board dated July 28 in
which stated that it is his opinion that Section 5.10 of the County Charter requires the Board to address
fiscal problems in a manner to prevent deficits from being realized. Absent any solid data which
supports the premise that lowering the fee would be at a minimum cost neutral, the Board would be
acting in a manner inconsistent with the provision of the Charter. He urged the Board to act cautiously
on this.
Mr. Todd, Representative, District No. 6, stated that he believes two things are involved: the
County's relationship with the private haulers and also the fiscal aspect of this. Mr. Todd recounted a
meeting at which he, Stuart Stein, Representative, District No. 3 and Barbara Eckstrom, Solid Waste
Manager had with Assemblyman Maurice Hinchey approximately two years ago to discuss the role
organized crime has in solid waste. One of the things he remembers is that it was strongly advised to
keep local haulers happy so that a large private hauler does not come in and have a monopoly. He
pointed out that approximately 75 local full-time jobs may be lost if Tompkins County loses these local
haulers. Mr. Todd stated that he believes the current system is not working. In regard to the fiscal
aspect, he thinks it is possible that the volume of material will increase when the price is lowered. He
stated that the high tipping fee has driven some people away and by lowering the fee, it is possible that
some may return.
Barbara Eckstrom, Solid Waste Manager, stated there are options on how solid waste can be
financed and after evaluating options, they have found an option that may work better. A "benefit user
fee" is being developed and information will be available very soon.
Kathy West, Deputy County Administrator, referred to a summary packet that was distributed to
Board members earlier today which she has taken potential deficits and translated them to what would
happen if collected through property taxes or disposal fees. The deficit that we are facing in 1992 at the
current tonnage of 100 tons per day at the rate of $145/ton is approximately 1.4 million dollars. If the
212
July 28, 1992
tipping fee were lowered to $90 per ton and allowing for a moderate increase in tonnage she estimates a
2.4 million dollar deficit. In 1993 preliminary projected costs are estimated at 7 million dollars and to
break even, the tipping fee would need to be set at $160 per ton. Ms. West briefly reviewed the options
listed in the summary packet.
Mr. Stein, Representative, District No. 3, asked Ms. West that if a resolution to lower the tipping
fee was passed, what will be the impact between now and the end of the year? Ms. West responded that
the County could face an additional million dollar deficit. Mr. Stein stated that a vote to reduce the
tipping fee means that by reducing the tipping fee, this County Board recognizes that to conform with the
Comptroller's opinion the property tax for 1993 will have to be increased by 10-19 percent on top of what
the property tax may already have to increase. Ms. West agreed with this if it is the intention of this
Board to collect this deficit by property taxes.
Mr. Shurtleff, Representative, District No. 9, stated that he believes that the closure of the landfill
cost is a big part of the current disposal cost and asked the Board to consider paying for this through sales
tax and to lower the tipping fee.
Ms. Mink, Representative, District No. 5, stated that by lowering the tipping fee and rolling the
deficit over to 1993, the County would simply be "charging" this debt. Ms. Mink also questioned what
the reduction of cost to the residential customer would be. If the County lowered the tipping fee, she
would want assurance that the hauler would do the same.
Mr. Evans, Representative, District No. 13, stated that he agrees that the $145 tipping fee has
caused problems. He stated that he sees a clear problem that no one is controlling the weight of the trash
that is being picked up. He questioned whether the haulers can stay in business while trying to solve this
problem. Mr. Evans stated that he doesn't have a problem with reducing the tipping fee temporarily until
the problem can be straightened out but he does have a problem with reducing the fee and leaving it open
ended.
Mr. Stein, Representative, District No. 3, stated that the Board has been presented with this issue
and has done a fair amount of thinking about it. He asked how this situation came about and how can it
be solved and what is the impact of the steps the Board is considering to solve it? He stated that there are
impacts of passing this resolution, the money will have to come out of somewhere and will likely be
through the property tax. Mr. Stein recalled the last budget hearing when taxpayers addressed the Board
in opposition to a property tax increase. He stated that by adopting this resolution, the entire Board
should understand and recognize that at this point, 10-19 percent will most likely be added to the
property tax in 1993.
It was Moved by Mr. Stein, seconded by Ms. Mink, to add the following three WHEREAS's
preceding the RESOLVED:
WHEREAS, this Board recognizes that a reduction of the tipping fee will create an additional
deficit in the 1992 County budget, and
WHEREAS, this Board recognizes that the funds to cover this additional deficit will have to be
appropriated in the 1993 budget, and
WHEREAS, it is understood by this Board that such an additional appropriation can cause an
increase in the local property tax of between 10 and 19% over and above any other increase in the
property tax, now therefore be it
Discussion followed.
213
July 28, 1992
Ms. West, Deputy County Administrator, said that it would be difficult to implement an efficient
system which would collect on the shortfall by the end of 1992.
Mr. Winch, Representative, District No. 8, stated that he agrees with what Mr. Stein said but
thinks that if the County moves forward on this that shortfall will be taken from the other County
departments which have already scrutinized over the last couple of years. Mr. Stein stated that the intent
of this amendment is to clarify the impact this will have on Tompkins County.
Mr. Culligan, Representative, District No. 2, stated that he represents many older and retired
people and will not support a property tax increase. Mr. Culligan suggested that the County use the bag
system in which if the bag is overstuffed it will break.
Mr. Todd, Representative, District No. 6, asked Ms. West, Deputy County Administrator, that if
the County projected a $90 per ton tipping fee, would the shortfall be approximately 1.8 million dollars?
Ms. West responded that is correct.
Mr. Proto, Representative, District No. 7, stated that he sees the passage of this resolution as
setting solid waste as one of the major priorities for 1993. Mr. Proto said that he would also like some
information or assurance that the haulers would reduce the cost of the hauling to their customers so that
the affect to the taxpayer can be known.
A voice vote on the amendment resulted as follows: Ayes - 11, Noes - 1 (Representatives Winch),
Excused - 3 (Representatives Dietrich, Lerner and Mason). Adopted.
It was Moved by Mr. Evans, seconded by Mr. Shurtleff, to amend the resolution to limit it to thirty

WHEREAS, this Board recognizes that a reduction of the tipping fee will create an additional

RESOLUTION NO. 253 - PROVISIONS FOR RE-EXAMINATION OF SOLID WASTE
PLANNING (Implemented by Res. No. 325 of 1992)
Moved by Mrs. Livesay, seconded by Mrs. Call. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 11,
Noes - 1 (Representative Shurtleff), Excused - 3 (Representatives Dietrich, Lerner and Mason). Adopted.
RESOLVED, That the following is the sense of the Board of Representatives:
1. The Board desires to build on the present strengths of its Solid Waste Program such as
composting, recycling, waste reduction and waste reuse.
2. The current cost charged for solid waste management by Tompkins County of $145 for each
ton delivered to the County transfer station has produced a reaction from solid waste haulers in the
County that puts in jeopardy the public's legitimate expectation that refuse will be picked up and
disposed of.
3. The cost charged for solid waste management must be significantly reduced as quickly as
possible, and the new charge should be in reasonable relation to competitive costs for solid waste
disposal.
4. Upon establishment of a competitive per -ton cost for solid waste disposal, this Board intends to
continue to work to enforce, both in civil and criminal arenas, its Flow Control Statute.
5. The quick reduction of per -ton costs to a competitive level may have to occur before an
alternative method of charging for solid waste costs can be developed and implemented. This will likely
result in a significantly greater shortfall in solid waste revenues for 1992 than is already anticipated;
therefore, drastic action is required to reduce solid waste costs to the very greatest extent possible as
quickly as possible.
RESOLVED, further, That the County Administrator is directed to work with the Commissioner
of Public Works and the Solid Waste Manager to develop within one (1) calendar month proposals to
reduce solid waste expenditures as quickly and as drastically as possible, which proposals should put as
many programs in a "holding" state as is possible, said proposals to be submitted to the Solid Waste and
Resource Management Committee prior to review by this Board, and
RESOLVED, further, That the Solid Waste and Resource Management Committee is directed to
spearhead, in consultation with the Solid Waste Management Advisory Committee and other appropriate
advisory bodies a re-examination of the County Solid Waste Management Plan to ensure that it stresses
lower overall solid waste management spending to the greatest extent possible within the requirements of
State and Federal laws and regulations with the County assuming the role of steering the process of
delivery of service to promote active competition among bidders/proposers and to assure the most
economical and reliable service delivery.

She asked the Board to reduce costs in solid waste programs and building renovations.
Under privilege of the floor, James Tull, member of the County Tax Committee and a resident of
the Town of Lansing, stated that he agrees with the previous speaker. He stated that the Tax Committee

County.
Under privilege of the floor, Stuart Lewis, member of the Tompkins County Chamber of
Commerce and a local businessman, spoke in opposition to an increase in sales tax in Tompkins County.

where it wants to be; the County is not a good communicator; the County spends without planning and
233
September 1, 1992
always spending to correct errors and there is too much duplication of services within the County. Mr.
Lewis asked that if a sales tax increase is adopted that it only be for a year.
Under privilege of the floor, Ronald Updike, member of the Tompkins County Soil and Water
Conservation District, requested financial assistance from the County for the creation of a District
Technician position. Mr. Updike explained why this position is needed and distributed a document to

them. He explained that the financial assistance would only be temporary.

Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Shurtleff, Representative, District No. 9, reported on a phone call

Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Mason, Representative, District No. 15, sited statistics from a
recent survey conducted by the New York State Business Council on the per capita spending of nearby
counties. He stated that Tompkins County has worked very hard and gives the County Depaitnient Heads

234

issues to be in the headlines in each county. Mrs. Livesay stated that an editorial in the August 29, 1992
issue of the Ithaca Journal contained many inaccuracies.
Chairman Watros stated that he would move the following resolution forward on the agenda to
accommodate the public.
RESOLUTION NO. 272 - INCREASING TAXES ON SALES AND USES OF TANGIBLE
PERSONAL PROPERTY AND ON CERTAIN SERVICES, AND
ON OCCUPANCY OF HOTEL ROOMS, AMUSEMENT
CHARGES AND CLUB DUES, PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 29 OF
THE TAX LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
Moved by Mrs. Call, seconded by Mr. Todd.
Ms. Mink, Representative, District No. 5, stated that she was appalled after reading the editorial
which appeared in the August 29, 1992 issue of the Ithaca Journal. Ms. Mink read the editorial to the
Board and explained each inaccuracy she found in the article. She said a sales tax was needed to prevent
the kind of financial disaster suffered by other counties who have tried to balance their budgets by
cutting staff and services.
Mrs. Call, Representative, District No. 10, spoke in regard to letters she has received concerning
mismanagement of County finances. Mrs. Call stated that she agreed with Ms. Mink's comments
concerning the editorial in the August 29 issue of the Ithaca Journal. Mrs. Call read sections of
Resolution No. 13 of 1992 entitled Adoption of Fiscal Plan for Tompkins County Government. Mrs.
Call stated that he County has followed this plan since its adoption and is doing what it said it would do.
Mrs. Dietrich, Representative, District No. 12, stated that the County is in a fiscal crisis. She also
stated that the State has continued to mandate services without funds for these services. Mrs. Dietrich
explained that the County cannot lay off workers the way other business can. The County provides
public services to people such as food and shelter and the government has an obligation to the people in
the County.
Mr. Lerner, Representative, District No. 1, spoke of increased mandates from the State and the
increase in social services caseloads. Mr. Lerner stated that he feels that an increase in the sales tax is
needed.
Mr. Culligan, Representative, District No. 2, stated that in previous years he has been opposed to
an increase in sales tax. He said he believes the County is in an emergency situation but would not vote
for a permanent increase in sales tax. Mr. Culligan suggested a possible amendment to the resolution
which would state that any items over $5,000 would only be subject to seven and a half percent rather
than eight percent. Mr. Culligan said that he feels there should be another tax on the income tax in New
York State.
Mr. Todd, Representative, District No. 6, stated that he believes progress is being made with the
County Tax Committee. Mr. Todd also spoke of the increased mandates to the County from the State.
He stated that passage of an increase in sales tax should provide a direct relief to the property tax burden.
Mr. Todd stated that one quarter of the proceeds from the sales tax increase will be shared with
municipalities in Tompkins County. He believes it is important for the media to see the way in which the
sales tax is being distributed.
Mr. Stein, Representative, District No. 3, stated that he agrees with Mrs. Dietrich's comments that
Tompkins County is not a business, it responds to the needs of the people in the County by providing
235
September 1, 1992
public services. Mr. Stein said that he does not feel comfortable with increasing the sales tax but the
County Board needs to choose between an increase in the property or sales tax.
Mr. Winch, Representative, District No. 14, commented on the budget cuts taken by the Public

It was Moved by Mrs. Call, seconded by Mr. Todd, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by
members present, to approve the minutes of October 5, 1992 as submitted.
Under privilege of the floor, Ernest Bury, 206 Valley Road, Ithaca, stated his concerns in regard to
solid waste disposal and recycling costs in Tompkins County. Mr. Bury made reference to a recent
editorial and suggested that the cost of recycling may be more expensive than disposal.
Under privilege of the floor, Charles Elrod, Caswell Road, Etna, urged the Board to reconsider
termination of the Property Value Protection Program. Mr. Elrod stated that if the County does not build
a landfill at the DR-7 site, homes in the area will always be threatened as the site will always be
considered a potential landfill site. Mr. Elrod said that the land has negatively affected the sale potential
of his home. Chairman Watros referred this issue to the Budget and Administration Committee.
Under privilege of the floor, Mark Finkelstein, City of Ithaca, spoke in regard to the resolution on
the Board agenda entitled Establishing 1993 Solid Waste and Sludge Disposal Fees. Mr. Finkelstein
stated that while he believes this a step in the right direction this is still not comparable to surrounding
landfills. Mr. Finkelstein asked the Board to gather more information before adopting this resolution.
Under privilege of the floor, Doug Brown, Doug's Trash Removal, urged the Board to adopt the
resolution on the agenda entitled Establishing 1993 Solid Waste and Sludge Disposal Fees. Mr. Brown
stated that he believes this is the first step towards the County and trash haulers working together again.
Under privilege of the floor, Barbara Eckstrom, Solid Waste Manager, responded to concerns
raised by Mr. Bury. Mrs. Eckstrom described to the Board an outline of all recycling costs. She stated
that in 1993, the Solid Waste Division anticipates 11,600 tons of recyclables, the total cost for hauling
and marketing of these recyclables is $27.21 per ton; total cost for processing is $11.90. The total cost of
recycling based on 11,600 tons at $39.11 equals $453,669. These costs include the operation of the
transfer station hauling materials to market. The cost of disposal of solid waste based on 45,000 tons of
waste at $66 per ton, is much more expensive than recycling. Mrs. Eckstrom also compared the cost of
collection of recyclables and the disposal of solid waste; recycling again was the less expensive.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Lerner, Representative, District No. 1, stated that after reviewing
solid waste costs with Barbara Eckstrom, Solid Waste Manager, it is clear to him that recycling is
worthwhile and less expensive means of disposal.
Under privilege of the floor, Mr. Proto, Representative, District No. 7, reported as this area's
representative to the State Archives and Records Administration that this County has received grants in
excess of one million dollars with four applications pending. He briefly reviewed the type of

Mr. Proto said that if anyone had questions or would like to discuss this to get in contact with him.

since the last Board meeting. Mr. Proto reported that school districts within the County have expressed

incidence of rabies in the State of New York but attributes this to Tompkins County having the best
educational system on reporting. Mr. Proto announced that Tompkins Community Hospital, for the
eleventh year in a row, has received the maximum attainable premium credit for their risk management.
This results in a premium reduction of $58,000. The next Committee meeting is October 27.
Ms. Mink, Chairman, Human Services Committee, said that the Committee has not met since the
last Board meeting. Ms. Mink stated that since the tragic shooting of four Social Services employees in

building and has come up with twelve recommendations to improve security. She stated that some of
these have been implemented while others need funding.
Mr. Mason, Chairman, Public Safety Committee, reported that the Committee has met several
times since the last Board meeting to review department budgets. Mr. Mason stated that the State of New

UNSPENT FUNDS FROM PREVIOUS YEAR IN COUNTY
DEPARTMENTS
Moved by Mrs. Call, seconded by Ms. Mink, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by members
present.
WHEREAS, Resolution No. 106 of 1992, Adoption of Fiscal Plan for Tompkins County
Government, refers to this Board's "willingness to entertain reasonable proposals to re -appropriate funds
that are unspent at year-end during the ensuing year", now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Fiscal Affairs and Budget and Administration
Committees, That the following procedure is adopted for this purpose:
When a department believes it will have funds unspent at year-end, and there is a legitimate need
to re -appropriate those funds in the subsequent year:
1. The requesting department must notify the Comptroller and the County Administrator by
February 28, 1993 of the amount of unspent funds the depaitnient head believes will be available at year-
end.
2. The department head shall propose said re -appropriation, with full justification, at any time
during the year after receipt of the December 31 Statement of Accounts from the Comptroller, providing
said Statement confirms the availability of the funds.
3. The review and authorization to re -appropriate previous year's funds shall be carried out
pursuant to Administrative Policy 05-04, #1-4.
4. In the event that the Department's December 31 balance is later reduced upon recommendation
of the County's auditors to a level that does not permit a re -appropriation, the department involved will be
responsible for covering the shortfall that this creates.
5. In the event the unrestricted General Fund Balance for all of Tompkins County at December
31st is a negative figure in any year, re -appropriations from the General Fund Balance will not be able to
be authorized during the ensuing year. If, in this event, adequate provision has been made in the ensuing
year's budget to restore the General Fund Balance to a level deemed acceptable by the Board of
Representatives, and unanticipated or unbudgeted unallocated revenues beyond this become available,
budget adjustments may be authorized for requesting depai lments in the amount of any unspent funds
from the previous year.

Mrs. Livesay introduced Kenneth Thompson, Assistant Solid Waste Manager. Mr. Thompson
stated that representatives from Chautauqua County would be giving the Board a presentation on a
disposal opportunity for Tompkins County and would answer questions following the presentation. He
introduced Mr. Richard Johnson, Deputy Director of Solid Waste and Mr. Theodore Osborn, Operations
Assistant, both of Chautauqua County.
Mr. Johnson began the presentation by distributing a handout which gives an overview of the
landfill in Chautauqua County. The Chautauqua County landfill has two goals which are to be
environmentally safe and economically competitive in the disposal of solid waste. He believes the
County achieves both of these goals in their current operation and is looking for some contractual
partners to help the County continue to meet those goals and hopefully to provide a benefit to their
partners. The facility is municipally owned, located in the western part of New York State. The landfill
is located in the rural portion of the County. Mr. Jones explained what staff is on site at the facility and
stated that they are very confident with that staff. He stated that the feels the County's relationship with
the Department of Environmental Conservation is very positive. Mr. Johnson described how the facility
is set up and showed slides on the various areas at the landfill and how waste is handled, stating that all
areas meet regulations. He stated that Chautauqua County is one of the few facilities which had the
foresight when the landfill was constructed to install a liner and leachate collection system at the landfill.
The landfill sits on approximately 800 acres which is fairly isolated and surrounded by forest and
meadow. The County plans to continue the development of the facility in approximately 30 additional
acres. The current operation area is estimated to be in use until 1995 and expects that during 1993 and
1994 construction will take place for additional space for use in 1995. He stated that the County expects
to have enough space in the landfill until the year 2010.
He stated that 700 tons of solid waste is being put into the landfill daily. The amount Chautauqua
County deposits into the facility is 600 tons. At the present time, they are contracting with Cattauragus
County and the Town of Evans in Southerner Erie County which amounts to the other 100 tons. Mr.
Johnson stated that by 1995, they hope to reach 1000 tons per day and explained that the deposit of this
amount of solid waste will give the County the most efficient operation. He spoke to the issue of
wetlands and stated that they worked with the Department of Environmental Conservation and the Army
Corps of Engineers and came up with an off-site mitigation plan. They anticipate in that they may have
additional wetlands in the future and expects to work with the Department of Environmental
Conservation on mitigation measures.

fees to the Board and opened discussion by stating that the Task Group is recommending three different
categories of residential homes: mobile homes, residential homes less than 1,000 feet, and apartment
units. She stated that they have been in contact with attorneys who have advised that the fee be related to
the generation rate. Peter Penniman stated that the Task Group is looking at three different sizes of
homes because there is no way to know how many people reside in each household. He stated that
commercial space and colleges would have separate categories. Ms. West stated that the current disposal
fee will bring in $4 million in revenue in 1993 and will leave the County short by $3 million. This user
fee will make up that shortfall. Discussion followed the presentation along with questions being asked
by members of the Board. There was a concern raised by members of the Board for the larger homes in
the County being occupied by only one or two people, when putting out a smaller amount than a similar
size home with a large family residing in it. The discussion included a possible credit for seniors, a
vacancy credit, a requirement for exemptions and a verification process. Following a lengthy discussion,
the Task Group was directed to develop two scenarios on the resident user fee, one alone for everybody
and one with a breakdown by square footage.

Regular Meeting
Public Hearing
Chairman Watros called the public hearing to order at 5:30 p.m. concerning proposed Local Law
No. j of 1992 - Authorization to Establish a Solid Waste User Fee for Real Property in Tompkins County.
(See Local Law No. 3 of 1993)
Mary Call, Representative, District No. 10, stated that staff has recently learned that, if adopted,
this user fee could not be implemented as quickly as expected. Therefore, action on this will not take
place until February, 1993. Mrs. Call stressed the importance of the public attending the public hearing to
speak and express their concerns.
Ms. Mink, Representative, District No. 5, stated that the user fee is not related to household size, it
is related to one, two and three family dwellings. Other things which may need to be examined includes
the possibility of a vacancy credit.
Molly Adams, Brooktondale, spoke in opposition to the proposed user fee and stated that she does
not believe it would be fair to non-profit organizations which do not use trash removal. She suggested
something be done about the junk mail that circulates within the County.
Ernest Bury, Valley Road, spoke in opposition to the proposed user fee and commented on a
conversation he had with Larry Gross of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation
concerning the possibility of using the Hillview Road transfer station. Mr. Bury also spoke concerning
the cost of recycling and stated that he believes the County should charge for this.
Donald Moses, NCR, spoke in opposition to the proposed user fee and stated that he is concerned
how the manufacturing industries will be assessed. He spoke of footage at NCR and stated that some
areas do not produce waste. He believes that the proposed law should be distributed among organizations
which will be affected.
Mike Kubarek, Borg Warner Automotive, spoke in opposition to the proposed user fee and stated
that he also has concerns for large manufacturing industries and what this user fee will cost them.
Orson Ledger, Brooktondale resident and property owner, spoke in opposition to the proposed user
fee and stated that he doesn't see it as being fair. He stated that he believes the trash tag system is an
easier system and one that the County should stay with. He stated that he also believes the colleges
should be paying their share of solid waste costs.
Mark Finkelstein, City of Ithaca, spoke in opposition to the proposed user fee and stated that he
believed the County was reducing the tipping fee to $95 per ton but now feels the County is raising that
by adopting a user fee. He stated that he feels the County should look at ways to reduce solid waste costs.
Harold Barden, City of Ithaca, spoke in opposition to the proposed user fee and stated that he feels
the current tag system works well. He believes that adoption of this local law will mean that the County
will need additional staff to work on this. Mr. Barden asked the County to cut costs and be conservative.
Terry Pasco, City of Ithaca, spoke in opposition to the proposed user fee and stated that he believes
the current trash tag system is a user fee and the proposed fee is a tax. He expressed concern for the
lower income population and public assistance recipients and asked what consideration would be given to
them. He also stated that he believes this will further complicate landlord -tenant relationships.
308
November 17, 1992
Graham King, Tompkins Community Hospital, spoke in opposition to the proposed user fee and
stated he heard the Hospital will be charged by each bed which will mean people who are in the hospital
will be charged twice.
Dooley Kiefer, Town of Ithaca and member of the Solid Waste Management Advisory Committee,
spoke in favor of the proposed user fee. Ms. Kiefer stated that she believes the County has trimmed the
budget as much as possible and supports several revenue streams. She urged the Board to continue to
receive comments on the proposed user fee and stated that she feels this is the right direction for the
County.
Guy Gerrard, City of Ithaca, spoke concerning the proposed user fee and stated that he believes the
user fee was the way to go but does not believe that the County should have both the trash tag system and
the user fee.
Howard Steiner, Coddington Road, spoke in opposition to the proposed user fee and stated that he
doesn't believe it will be fair. He stated that people need to be charged for what they use.
Thomas Straight, McLean, spoke in opposition to the proposed user fee and asked what effect
public comment would have on the adoption of this local law.
Robert Spaulding, Ellis Hollow Road, spoke in opposition to the proposed user fee and stated that
he believes in the trash tag system and suggested that the County increase the cost of trash tags.
Ben Curtis, Village of Trumansburg, spoke in opposition to the proposed user fee. He stated that
his family of four live in a large house and they recycle, compost, and keep trash to a minimum. He
suggested that adopting this type of user fee will discourage some people from recycling and composting.
Philip Barden, Town of Caroline, spoke in opposition to the proposed user fee. Mr. Barden stated
that he favors the trash tag system.
Allen Cobane, Lansing, spoke in opposition to the proposed user fee. He stated that he currently
recycles and does not want to live in Tompkins County if he has to pay this user fee on solid waste.
Karel Westerling, Town of Dryden, stated that he would like to see the County continue with the

Peter Meskill, Member, Village of Trumansburg Board of Trustees, presented the Board with a
resolution adopted by the Village of Trumansburg Board of Trustees on November 16, 1992 stating the
Boards' opposition to the creation of proposed Local Law No. j of 1992 - Authorization to Establish a
Solid Waste User Fee for Real Property in Tompkins County, and its fee schedule in its current form.
James Lawrence, Newfield, spoke in opposition to the proposed user fee. Mr. Lawrence described
to the Board, ways in which he has reduced the amount of waste he puts into the waste stream. Mr.
Lawrence stated that he believes that this is a step backwards for the County and suggested that the
County start to charge for recycling. Mr. Lawrence suggested that the County pick up recyclables less
often than is done now because bins are only half full.
Thomas Corey, Town of Dryden, spoke in opposition to the proposed user fee. Mr. Corey stated
that the business community is unhappy about the proposed user fee because they feel it is not fair and
will cost the County money. Mr. Corey stated that he believes the trash tag system is the most effective
and efficient system. He stated that the proposed user fee will cause problems to administer and
suggested that the County increase the cost of the trash tag.

Mr. Lerner, Liaison, Solid Waste Management Advisory Committee, read a resolution adopted by
the Advisory Committee supporting the solid waste user fee. Mr. Lerner stated this alternative is the most
appropriate solution because the County has to pay $3 million in expenses. The three million dollars
includes one million in State mandates, one million for the deficit created by haulers taking trash out of
the County and one million for the closure of landfills. The County reviewed three other options to pay
for the $3 million: 1) through property tax, which means non-profit agencies are exempt; 2) increase the
tipping fee; however raising the tipping fee results in the haulers not cooperating with the County by
hauling the waste out of County; 3) reduce the Solid Waste operating budget which has already been cut
by 20 percent.
Mr. Proto. Representative, District No. 7, stated that he is not convinced that recycling will ever
pay for itself but believes it results in cost avoidance.
Mrs. Call, Representative, District No. 10, stated that the committee will continue to look into data.
Mrs. Call informed the public that all meetings at which discussion on this user fee has taken place have
been at public meetings in open session which are posted by the Clerk of the Board.

State in a comprehensive comparison between and assigned counsel panel and a public defender system
and has concluded that the Assigned Counsel Program in Tompkins County is both cost and quality
effective and the system should be continued. Ms. Ray and Ms. Tjensvold reviewed with the Board

November 19, 1992
Adjourned Board Meeting
Public Hearing
Chairman Watros called the public hearing to order at 7:00 p.m. concerning the 1993 proposed
County Budget.
Mr. Watros said that the total budget is $74 million, $31 million will be raised locally, 50 percent
real property tax, 50 percent sales tax. He introduced Mary Call, Chairman, Budget and Administration
Committee and Scott Heyman, County Administrator.
Mrs. Call, Chairman, Budget and Administration Committee, stated that it was a difficult job this
year but started in February with the Fiscal Plan and reduced the 1992 budget by $500,000. She said that
the County has several mandates and said that the four with the least local control are: Aid to Physically
Handicapped Children, Jail operations, Assigned Counsel, Department of Social Services. She said that
the Board approved the first of three steps for extending sales tax in 1993 and also approved the
development of another Fiscal Plan outline. Mrs. Call thanked Mr. Todd, Chairman, Fiscal Affairs
Committee, and Marge Dill and Andy LaVigne for their work with the Committee.
Mr. Heyman, County Administrator, described the budget and referred to the sheet describing the
change in positions for 1992-93 and the Budget and Administration Committees target summary. He
spoke about to the distribution table (schedule A of the 1993 proposed Tompkins County budget). He
said this is important because numerous town governments elected to use their share of sales tax
proceeds. The towns chose to use the sales tax as credit against County taxes. The Town of Lansing has
elected to receive their sales tax in cash. The Town of Dryden and Town of Ithaca and the six villages in
the County are also handled the same. The total spending is $74 million compared to $69 million dollars
in 1992. $4.4 million dollars is accounted by the four mandates mentioned above. He said that the total
approved Solid Waste budget excluding composting is $6,652,000 which is a decrease of $1.2 million
from 1992. The total tonnage in recyclables is the same. He stated that $6.7 million projected in sales
tax revenues makes possible a 3.5 percent decrease in real property tax rates, restore fund balance to five
percent of total expenditures and restoration of nearly $900,000 in funding in excess of the targets
established by the Board in 1992.
Carol Kammen, Chairman, Library Board of Trustees, stated that governing in a time of financial
crisis is difficult. She stated that the Library appreciates and understands why their budget is where it is
and will do their best to preserve the very best library services for the County.
Paul Steiger, 935 State Street, stated that corporate America recognized that if they were going to
survive, they were going to have to make dramatic cost cutting measures and streamline their operations.
He said that industries reduced the amount of health insurance premiums paid for an employee in an
effort to control costs. He suggested that County government has done the opposite of this and said that
the County should also reduce costs as business has done. Mr. Steiger stated his opposition to the
proposed solid waste user fee and said that if additional costs need to be passed on, he does not believe
the County needs another system in which to collect these fees.
Andy Sciarrabba, County Tax Committee, stated that he does not that a good evaluation has been
made of mandated areas. Mr. Sciarrabba asked that the County establish a task force to review mandated
areas. He stated that he was not happy with a 3.5 percent property tax decrease and said that he felt the
County could take a more conservative approach in their budget process. He asked that the County phase
in the restoration of the fund balance rather than restoring it at one time.
323
November 19, 1992
Charles Niven, Taxpayer, emphasized efficiency in spending and said that he would like the health
planning and children's dental hygienist program restored to the budget. He asked that a transportation
position in the Mental Health Department be restored.
Ben Curtis, Trumansburg, stated how he expects the proposed 3.5 percent decrease in real
property tax will affect him and also expressed his opposition for the proposed solid waste user fee and
how this fee will be assessed.
Herbert Brewer, President, Chamber of Commerce, spoke concerning the employment rate in
Tompkins County and the number of people who commute to Tompkins County for employment. Mr.
Brewer stated that the County Tax Committee consists of people who have spent a lot of personal time
reviewing budget material and working with County staff trying to collect information to evaluate
programs and submit recommendations. He commended these volunteers for their time and effort and
hopes that there will be reception on behalf of the County to continue this process.
Dooley Kiefer, Highland Road, Ithaca, submitted a statement for the record urging the Board to
restore funding to the Sheriffs patrol and Probations' SWAP programs.
Mr. Stein, Representative, District No. 3, asked a question about a figure quoted by Mr. Heyman
in his presentation concerning a shortfall in the Solid Waste budget. Mr. Heyman stated that the figures
presented in the proposed budget are the most recent.
Mr. Mason, Representative, District No. 15, requested that the County Administrator explain the
insurance reserve balance. Mr. Heyman explained that the balance needs to be at $500,000.
Mrs. Dietrich, Representative, District No. 12, addressed comments made by Mr. Steiger. She
said that the County has made a substantial effort to reduce staff but stated that there is a difference
between business and government. She stated that when a business lays off employees some of those
people become the responsibility of the government. These people may be forced to apply for services
which the County is mandated to provide. Mrs. Dietrich stated that government and business are very
different.
Mr. Shurtleff, Representative, District No. 9, noted that the proximity of Tompkins County is a
contributing factor to providing services because it is located near an institution which is closing and
near a closing manufacturing plant. This will result in people who will need to be taken care of.
Mrs. Call, Representative, District No. 10, stated that Tompkins County takes a conservative
position on mandated items because the County would incur severe penalties in several cases if these
services were not provided.
Mr. Lerner, Representative, District No. 1, stated that he feels the County should restore the fund
balance as planned. He asked Mr. Squires, Comptroller, to explain the cost of the County borrowing.
Mr. Squires stated that not only does the County have to pay interest on the money that is borrowed, but
also loses interest that would be made on the fund balance.
Mr. Todd, Representative, District No. 6, reiterated that last spring it was negotiated with the City
of Ithaca and municipalities to share the sales tax for the third and fourth quarter and to restore the fund
balance with the first and second quarter.
Mrs. Livesay, Representative, District No. 11, explained that the proposed solid waste user fee is
expected to raise additional revenues because the solid waste charge that was $145 per ton was reduced
324
November 19, 1992
to $95 per ton. It is expected that there will be less incentive for haulers to take trash out of the County.
Mrs. Livesay also stated that the bond agents want the County have a more diversified funding stream.
Ms. Mink, Representative, District No. 5, spoke about a meeting she attended today in which eight
agencies expressed to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (F.E.M.A.) their reasons for needing
funding. Ms. Mink stated that the F.E.M.A. had $29,000 to divide among these agencies who are serving
people, including people that have never used services before.
Mr. Culligan, Representative, District No. 2, questioned the possibility of the County continuing
to use the Hillview Road Transfer station instead of moving forward with the Recycling and Solid Waste
Center. Mr. Heyman said that it does not meet the criteria for a permit of the New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation.
Mr. Mason, Representative, District No. 15, called the Board's attention to "Politic for Cutting
Back" written for a local government program at Cornell University.
Mr. Stein, Representative, District No. 3, stated that as a member of the Fiscal Affairs Committee,
he appreciates the Chamber of Commerce's work and their effort and while there may be some
differences in opinion, the work has contributed positively to the dialogue in the Fiscal Affairs
Committee. He stated that he hopes that each will continue to listen openly and objectively with respect.
Mr. Todd, Representative, District No. 6, stated that he believes 1992 is a landmark year and
agrees with comments made by Mr. Stein. He said that while he is not delighted with the outcome of the
budget, he believes it contains a series of compromises which brought the County and the Chamber of
Commerce closer. Members of the Board feel the same appreciation towards the Chamber of Commerce.
On motion the meeting adjourned at 8:18 p.m.

Chairman Watros announced that the annual Salvation Army Kettle drive is underway and in need
of volunteers to ring the bell. Mr. Watros circulated a sign-up sheet among Board members.
Under privilege of the floor, Anne Posel, 526 East State Street and an OAR (Offender Aid and
Restoration) staff person, spoke concerning smoking by inmates at the Tompkins County Jail. Ms. Posel
stated that she is convinced that tension has been added to an already stressful atmosphere at the Jail
because inmates are not allowed to smoke. Ms. Posel asked that the Board evaluate the effects this law

a letter from Gary Buchner, Principal of Dewitt Middle School, thanking the Board and Jan Nissenson,
former STOP DWI Coordinator, for giving seed money several years ago to start a student assistance
program for BOCES. The letter states that the program has been very successful and describes what it
entails. Mr. Mason stated that the program now receives a major portion of its funding from the State
and Federal government.
Under privilege of the floor, Stuart Stein, Representative, District No. 3, spoke concerning a
contract approved in the 1992 County budget between Tompkins County and the Chamber of Commerce
Convention and Visitor's Bureau. Mr. Stein said that he will not ask that funding for this contract be
discontinued in 1993, but reviewed during the coming year.
