Election of Temporary Chairman
Mrs. Covert announced that the first order of business was the election of a temporary chairman.
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr nominated Mr. Totman as Temporary Chairman, seconded by Mrs. Schuler. After
hearing no more nominations, it was Moved by Mrs. Schuler, seconded by Mr. Joseph, and unanimously
adopted by voice vote by members present, to close nominations. A voice vote resulted as follows for
Temporary Chairman: Ayes - 14, Noes - 0, Excused - 1 (Representative Todd). MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Totman took the chair as Temporary Chairman.
Mr. Lane said we are about to nominate and elect one of our good colleagues as Chair of the
Board. He said he has refrained from commenting about this matter for the last several weeks because he
felt it was better that the matter not be discussed in the press. However, an article appeared in the Ithaca
Journal that accurately described what has taken place. He said at a Democratic caucus Mr. Joseph
received the majority of votes for Chairman. Mr. Lane said 2002 is an important year for Tompkins
County and it is vital that the Board remain together and remain united across both political parties. Mr.
3
January 2, 2002
Lane said he will gladly vote for Mr. Joseph and hopes that anyone who had interest in his own candidacy
for Chairman will do the same.
Election of Permanent Chairman
The next order of business was the election of a Permanent Chairman and nominations were
opened. Ms. Blanchard nominated Mr. Joseph as Permanent Chairman.
Ms. Blanchard said many people may be surprised by this nomination because it is a very well-
known fact that she and Mr. Joseph have fairly great differences in viewpoints on several issues. But the
best way to explain her reason for supporting Mr. Joseph as chairman makes her recall one of her favorite
movies - "The Odd Couple." The characters in that movie, Felix and Oscar, had major differences in their
approach to life, but they were fast friends and supported each other in many ways.
Ms. Blanchard said over the last several years, she and Mr. Joseph have been drawn into a series
of projects that required the best both had to give, such as the public safety communications project and
alternative to incarceration initiatives. She said Mr. Joseph has to be a stalwart colleague and she has
learned to value his opinion. She said that have built a working relationship that focuses on each others
strengths and mostly ignores weaknesses. Ms. Blanchard stated, like Felix and Oscar, when the best
interest of County is at stake they will work together respectfully, and part of the team that includes
everyone in t his room. She urged everyone to join with her and support Mr. Joseph as Chairman.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Proto. Mr. Proto said Mr. Joseph has shown he has a good
grasp of the budget process and has brought the Board through some very difficult times. Mr. Proto said
although he and Mr. Joseph do not share the same philosophy all of the time, he believes Mr. Joseph has
been a fair and even-handed individual.
After hearing no more nominations, it was MOVED by Mr. Proto, seconded by Mrs. Schuler, and
unanimously adopted by voice vote by members present, to close nominations.
A voice vote resulted as follows to elect Mr. Joseph Permanent Chair: Ayes: 14, Noes - 0,
Excused - 1 (Representative Todd). MOTION CARRIED. Mr. Joseph was elected Permanent Chair of
the Board and took the chair.
Election of a Vice Chairman
Nominations were opened for Vice Chairman. Mr. Penniman nominated Mr. Lane as Vice Chair.
He said Mr. Lane has served the Board very well over the last few years in that capacity and is very
knowledgeable about a wide variety of County programs. He said Mr. Lane is a student of history and has
a good sense of how County government has evolved over the years and brings to the Board an important
rural perspective. The motion was seconded by Mr. Winch. Mr. Winch said he served under his
chairmanship of the Public Works Committee and Mr. Lane has always been a true gentleman.
Hearing no more nominations, it was MOVED by Mr. Proto, seconded by Ms. Kiefer, and
unanimously adopted by voice vote by members present, to close nominations.
A voice vote resulted as follows to elect Michael Lane Vice Chairman: Ayes - 14, Noes - 0,
Excused - 1 (Representative Todd). MOTION CARRIED.
"In the nine years that I've sat on this Board the thing that has most impressed me is the integrity
of its members, their commitment to public service and the respect with which they treat each other and
the public. We have frequent, and often deep political differences, and we sometimes argue vehemently
over policies and priorities. But there has never been any doubt in my mind that each member is sincere
4
January 2, 2002
about seeking what they believe is best for the County and its citizens. Today we welcome three new
members to this Board: Kathy Luz Herrera, Dick Booth, and Martha Robertson. I know that all three of
these representatives will continue our tradition of strong advocacy, openness to the public, and respect
for each other. As we move forward this year to face the difficult problems in governing this county, I
know that we will seek, as individuals and as a body, to act wisely, responsibly, and compassionately. I
know that we will not always succeed, but I also know that the effort will be sincere. As we engage
particular problems and find ourselves in passionate disagreement with each other, I ask that we keep one
thing always in mind: While there will be times and issues where we will inevitably be opponents, we
need never be enemies.
"Much of our attention this year will again be focused on budget issues. State tax revenues have
been severely reduced by the slowing economy and the September 11 attack on the World Trade Towers.
This situation is compounded by foolish tax cuts that heavily favored the wealthy and assumed that good
economic times and budget surpluses were permanent. The state is responding, in part, by shifting
expenses to local governments. Meanwhile the same slowed economy will hold down our sales tax
revenues while driving up expenses to care for our most hard pressed citizens. We will probably be faced
once more with the prospect of both a significant property tax increase and serious reductions in services.
This will require the Board to make difficult and painful decisions. It will be the responsibility of the
Budget Committee, led by Peter Penniman, to manage that decision making process in a way that ensures
that the Board has a clear understanding of the budget situation and the information it needs to make those
decisions thoughtfully and knowledgeably.
"Following the September 11 attacks our public safety agencies have been called upon to respond
to both threats and fears and to take new steps to ensure both the security, and the sense of security of our
citizens. The Public Safety Committee, chaired by Nancy Schuler must oversee those efforts and ensure
that they are coordinated and effective. Last year we began a series of new initiatives designed to reduce
crime in our community and bring down the population in our jail. This committee is charged with
encouraging and supporting these efforts, while also evaluating their effectiveness. We are in largely
uncharted areas here, and while we expect, and have already experienced, some success, we should also
expect some difficulties and some failures. We must be ready and willing to see clearly what isn't
working and to make changes in programs to make them more effective.
"The Health and Human Services Committee, under Dan Winch, will be at the center of some of
our most difficult challenges. Unless the economy improves rapidly the departments and agencies that
report to this committee will bear the brunt of the increased demands that come with growing
unemployment, homelessness, hunger and all the other consequences of an economic downturn. All of
these problems will be faced by agencies that are themselves having to make do with reduced resources.
This committee must provide leadership in dealing creatively with this situation. It must encourage
interagency cooperation and coordination to deliver vital services in the most efficient and cost effective
way possible.
"The Economic and Workforce Development Committee faces a special challenge. The two
Board members most deeply involved and most intimately familiar with our economic development
efforts, Barbara Mink and Stuart Stein, have left the Board. Great strides have been made in this area
under their leadership and we have a strong foundation in TCAD, our Workforce Development program,
and in the greatly improved relationships we have built with the business community. I have charged
Mike Lane to lead our economic development efforts, which have the long term potential to relieve some
of the financial pressures felt in so many other areas.
"The County has just hired a new Planning Commissioner. This provides an opportunity to
reexamine both the structure and activities of the Planning Department. Dooley Kiefer will lead the
Planning Committee in working with the new Commissioner to develop a work plan and departmental
organization that meets the needs of County citizens and of the County Board.
5
January 2, 2002
"Our Public Works Department has lost several key staff people and has been experimenting with
different organizational structures in the last few years. We have not yet found a way to ensure that
critical functions are adequately covered. This year I am asking the Public Works Committee, under the
Chairmanship of Barbara Blanchard, to develop a workable structure and organization that both creates
clear areas of responsibility and ensures that vital tasks are carried out.
"The Government Operations Committee, chaired by Mike Koplinka-Loehr, looks to the internal
functioning of County government. This year the committee will focus attention on a broad review of the
various committees and boards that manage various county projects or advise in specific areas. They will
look to streamline functioning of these bodies, eliminate those that have outlived their usefulness, and
revitalize those that are still needed but have become dormant. In addition this committee will continue
and expand the County's quality management initiative, and work towards making program evaluation a
routine part of county operations.
"Three special committees will continue their work into this year. The Communications Capital
Projects Committee, led by Barbara Blanchard, is working on construction of a new consolidated dispatch
center, an emergency communications system, and the relocation of the State Department of
Transportation facility. Charter Review, under Mike Lane, will continue its reexamination of our county
charter and will bring us a series of proposed revisions. I will take over Chairmanship of the Space Needs
and Location committee which is looking at alternatives for reusing the old library building, and meeting
the space needs for various County programs and for the State Court system.
"Public libraries are emerging as an issue in need of special attention this year. New York State
is encouraging a new look at how libraries are organized in an effort to ensure that all citizens of the state
have access to adequate library services. The County's own Library Coordination Committee
recommended an examination of alternative organizational structures for libraries. It is reasonable that
the County and the various libraries should undertake this examination together, rather than many groups
collecting and examining the same information separately. Ultimately the libraries themselves must
decide on organizational structure, but the County is ready to work with them to explore options and is
prepared to take leadership in that exploration if the Libraries want us to. Frank Proto and Dan Winch
will represent the County in whatever committee is jointly created to pursue this issue.
"Finally, there is one reform measure I want to institute immediately. Proud as I am of the way
this Board functions, there is one thing we do that makes us an object of scorn and ridicule among those
who watch these meetings. From now on, when a committee chair is called upon to report, they are
absolutely prohibited from saying, 'We have not met since our last meeting.' Please say what you mean.
'We have not met since I last reported,' or simply, 'We have not met'."

vote by members present, to reappoint Catherine Covert as Clerk of the Board.

Privilege of the Floor by Board Members
Mr. Lane, District No. 14 Representative, introduced his mother, Viola Lane. Mr. Lane
congratulated and welcomed new Board members.
Mr. Booth, District No. 3 Representative, thanked Stuart Stein for serving the Board and
representing the residents of District 3 so well over the last twenty years.
Mr. Penniman, District No. 15 Representative, stated there are vacancies on the County's
advisory boards. He said information on these vacancies can be found by calling the Board Office or
checking the County's website.
Presentation of Award
Mr. Joseph acknowledged an award that was given to the County by the City of Ithaca and the
Rotary Club. Mrs. Schuler attended the event where it was presented and said this special recognition
was given to the Board. The award reads: "Amidst pressing needs at the former Library, the Tompkins
County Board of Representatives decided to convert the vacant former Woolworth building. This
building has been thoughtfully upgraded, becoming an excellent example of adaptive reuse of a big box
building. The glass arcade, the entry drum at the corner entrance, and the south -facing glass -walled
reading room all lend dramatic new interest to the facade and serve as welcoming features to the local
community. As a result, with considerable increased usership, the Library has become a new anchor and
hub of activity for downtown.
Chair's Report and Appointment(s)
At this time Mr. Joseph distributed 2002 Committee assignments and a proposed meeting
schedule.
Report from the County Administrator
Mr. Whicher offered any Board member a tour of all County complexes. Any one interested
should contact County Administration or the Board Office. Mr. Whicher introduced Edward Marx who
has recently been hired to fill the position of Planning Commissioner. He comes from Oswego County
and has extensive planning experience in New York State. Mr. Marx said it is an honor to hold the
position as Planning Commissioner for Tompkins County and he looks forward to working with the
Board and employees of Tompkins County.

Regular Meeting
Public Hearing
Chair Joseph called the public hearing to order at 5:30 p.m. concerning the Small Cities program
dealing with general housing, public facilities, and microenterprise needs in the County.
Chair Joseph introduced Dave Carlson of Carlson Associates who explained the program and said
that comments from the public would immediately follow.
Mr. Carlson explained that the program has been in existence since 1978. He said that Tompkins
County has utilized this program extensively within municipalities as well as for the County. He reported
that since 1993 the County has received twelve separate grants totaling over five million dollars. These
funds have been used primarily for the County Homeownership Program that assists lower income
individuals attain the goal of homeownership, as well as funding economic development projects as they
occur.
Mr. Carlson said there is fifty-five million dollars available for Small Cities requests and that it is
the third year New York State is running the program instead of Housing and Urban Development. This
is the first of two public hearings that need to take place prior to submission of the grant application that
is due on April 12, 2002.
Chair Joseph asked if there were any questions or if anyone cared to speak regarding the program.
No member of the public wished to speak.
Ms. Kiefer, District No. 10 Representative, inquired whether actual microenterprises had been
funded. Mr. Carlson indicated that he believed that one microenterprise program had been funded and
that the reason for so few is due to specific criteria required for eligibility.
Mr. Booth, District No. 3 Representative, requested clarification of the amount of funding
available through the grant. Mr. Carlson responded that the fifty-five million dollars is a state-wide figure
and that it will be broken out into two areas, one for economic development in the amount of fifteen
million dollars which would be available year-round for projects pertaining to economic development up
to an amount of seven hundred fifty thousand dollars, and the second area is for homeownership, housing
related, or public improvement projects for up to six -hundred thousand dollars. All of these are Federal
funds that are administered by New York.
Ms. Blanchard, District No. 1 Representative, asked if funds used by Tompkins County Area
Development are originally through this program. Mr. Carlson said that the funding is not through this
particular program.
Chair Joseph asked if anyone else cared to speak to the issue. There being no further speakers, he
closed the public hearing at 5:35 p.m.
Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag and Roll Call of Members
Members and guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.

Privilege of the Floor by the Public

January 15, 2002
Joel Harlan of Dryden addressed the Board on the subjects of high taxes and bringing businesses
into the area. He expressed concern that the higher taxes and layoffs would have a negative effect on the
local economy by creating a situation requiring increased rents and cost of products. He felt that this
would result in individuals choosing to make their purchases outside of the area, thereby compounding
the situation. He felt that it was important to look to the future and possibly work toward the
development of technological business like the Silicon Valley. He also felt that Cornell University and
Ithaca College should have more responsibility to contribute to our area. Mr. Harlan also said
consideration needs to be given to the local small merchant and their needs to continue rather than that of
the larger enterprises.
Christiann Dean, Chair of the Town of Ithaca Agriculture Committee, thanked the Board in
advance for considering the County's role in Agricultural Land Protection. She said that as the Town
worked through this they have found it is a complex issue and has worthwhile initiatives and examples
elsewhere in the country to learn from. She offered to act as a representative from the Town of Ithaca
Agriculture Committee to share information and work with the County. She said that the Town has
approved a program for development rights for both agricultural land and/or ecologically environmentally
appropriate properties. Although the Town has not yet purchased development rights from a farmer she
felt that it would be important for the County to be involved since many farms cross various townships.
Ms. Dean expressed the desire to work cooperatively with the County toward this end.
Michael Powell, a resident of the City of Ithaca, spoke in support to the Small City Block Grant
and encouraged the City and Mayor of Ithaca to review this program which will beautify and redeem
neighborhoods.
Chair Joseph indicated that there were a lot of young people in the audience and inquired if there
was a class present to witness the meeting. Margo Agostini, a Senior at Ithaca High School, acted as
representative of the group and informed the Board that the students were Seniors completing a
participation requirement in their Government classes. Their assignment was to see what public meetings
are like. Chair Joseph thanked them for coming and said that he hoped they enjoy the meeting.
Privilege of the Floor by Board Members
Ms. Blanchard, District No. 1 Representative, stated that there was a news article in the local
section of The Ithaca Journal that compared Tompkins County tax rates to other counties. She said that
the article was not clear in stating what figures are included in the reported Tompkins County tax bill.
She felt it is a misleading figure and requested clarification on how the figure was derived.
Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Representative, provided the Board an update on the Danby Academy,
which the Board helped to finance last year. The Academy, which provides an opportunity for students in
the areas of agriculture and horticulture, was established as a result of contributions from various venues
and the cooperation of agencies. Mr. Proto stated that this project is the first one of its kind in New York
State and is a result of funding provided by the County, a fifty thousand dollar grant that Senator Kuhl
helped to obtain, and it is hoped to receive an additional fifty thousand dollars this year as well. In
addition, he said that there are approximately thirteen to fifteen individuals from various groups who are
working on this project. Mr. Charles Grumman of Tompkins-Seneca-Tioga Board of Cooperative
Educational Services is working on curriculum development for this program.
At the present time one class, Advanced Placement Environmental Science and Global
Observation, has been completed and it is hoped to increase to three classes in the near future. Mr. Proto
reported that a number of individuals traveled to Massachusetts to observe a model of this program. Mr.
Proto said that many scholarships in these areas go unfilled as a result of lack of knowledge. This
program is hoped to attract Junior and Senior students who possess an interest in these fields to aid them
in expanding their educational options.

January 15, 2002
Mr. Penniman, District No. 15 Representative, thanked Dave Carlson and the Planning
Department and Better Housing for the excellent work they have been giving over the years. There is still
a need for continued success in the programs. Mr. Penniman reminded Board members that he will be
attending the New York State Association of Counties Legislative Meeting being held in Albany January
271 through January 29th and hoped that they had the opportunity to review the information he gave them
in connection with this conference.
Ms. Robertson, District No. 13 Representative thanked Ms. Dean for attending the meeting this
evening and speaking to the Board. She said she hoped the County would work with the Town on the
Purchase of Development Rights proposal.
Public Information — Television and Microphone Usage
Ms. Skinner, Public Information Officer, introduced herself to new Board Representatives and
members of the public. She said that she would like to take a moment to familiarize the new members
with the best way to project themselves at meetings as they are broadcast on the local access television
network. Ms. Skinner addressed the questions she had received regarding the light level in the room and
requested that Board members please refrain from bringing in desk lamps as they create a "hot spot" for
the viewing cameras.
Next, Ms. Skinner introduced Mr. Jim Blizzard, who explained the proper way to utilize the
microphones to project the best audio levels.
Presentation of Agricultural Development Rights
Mr. Joseph introduced Joan Jurkowich of the County Planning Department who gave an overview
of this project that was a joint effort of the Tompkins County Planning Department and Cooperative
Extension working with consultant, Mr. George Franz of George R. Franz and Associates, American
Farmland Trust, and Professor Tom Daniels of SUNY Albany to review the acceptance and effectiveness
of purchasing development rights in the County. Questions directed to this project included: Would it be
accepted in Tompkins County; if so, how would this program be operated, the cost of the program, and
what possible funding resources are available.
Mr. Franz then spoke, introducing his colleagues, Terri Platek of the American Farmland Trust,
Northeast Office located in Saratoga Springs, and Tom Daniels of the SUNY Albany Department of
Geography and Environmental Planning.
Mr. Daniels shared a handout with the Board that provided a summary of information on this
program. He said that he has been a visitor to the Tompkins County region over the past thirty years and
that it is one of his favorite areas of the State. He provided a history of his background in farmland
preservation. For nine years he led the farmland preservation programs in Lancaster County,
Pennsylvania. He then thanked all individuals who have worked with this project, which included
employees of the Planning Department, Cornell Cooperative Extension, members of the steering
committee for this study, Agricultural and Farmland Protection Board, and the public input from the
public hearings held.
Mr. Daniels said that Tompkins County has a significant agricultural industry that is noted in the
latest United States Agricultural Census done in 1997 that indicates approximately ninety-five thousand
acres of farmland, with the farmers producing approximately forty-seven million dollars in crops and
livestock that year.
An overview of purchasing of development rights was provided by Mr. Daniels. He said it is a
voluntary program that in exchange for a specified cash payment, the landowner limits the use of the land
14
January 15, 2002
to farmland or open space usage. This sale of rights is in the form of a conservation easement. The
benefits to the landowner are a way to receive cash from the land without having to sell the land for
development and to be able to utilize the funds for the farm operation, strengthen the farm, set up a
retirement fund, or assure the continuation of the farm beyond the current generation. The benefits is to
the local government are that the land remains on the tax roll as private property, the open space is
maintained which contributes to the quality of life in the county, the agricultural industry is strengthened,
and it is a way to influence the location and the pace of development in the community.
Landowners retain all other rights and responsibilities that go with the landownership, such as the
right to sell the property and liability for property taxes. The property remains in private ownership and
no public access is allowed.
Mr. Daniels said that during the study they also reviewed waterfront access and the acquisition of
natural areas in the County. They did not feel that the purchase of development rights was the appropriate
tool for waterfront access and suggested outright purchase of property in order to manage it. He said that
in the case of natural areas the purchase of development rights does have some potential but recommends
that an open space inventory and plan should be completed first.
Next, Mr. Franz explained an important step is to be certain that the purchase of development
rights encompasses the best agricultural properties. Using criteria that include soil quality, existing
concentrations of farmland and participation in the Agricultural Districts program, approximately forty-
two thousand acres of farmland in six locations in the county warrant consideration for protection through
this program. These areas include: approximately fourteen thousand acres in the northwestern area of the
County, primarily in the Town of Ulysses but also extending into the Towns of Ithaca, and Enfield and
approximately thirteen thousand acres in the northern area of the County primarily in the Town of
Lansing with about one mile extending into the Town of Groton. The remaining areas are a rectangular
area on the eastern side of the Town of Groton and portions of the Town and Village of Dryden, the Town
of Caroline in the upper reaches of the Six Mile Creek Valley, the Benjamin Hill area of the Town of
Newfield, and a small parcel in Pony Hollow located in the southern area of the County.
Mr. Daniels referred the Board to the handout that explained the major components and program
cost as noted below:
A successful Purchase of Development Rights (PDR) program would require a long-term
commitment of twenty to thirty years or more. The operation of a PDR program can be broken down into
two tasks: the acquisition of development rights and the monitoring and enforcement of the preserved
farmland. The acquisition of the development rights includes:
a. Developing specific policies and criteria for determining which candidate parcels should be
protected;
b. Extensive public outreach and education;
c. Review and ranking of applications;
d. Coordinating appraisals, surveys, and closings, documentation and negotiations with landowners;
e. Grant writing and administration.
Monitoring and enforcement of preserved farmland entails annual inspections of lands under
conservation easements and identification and correction of easement violations.
The study looked at a number of options for structuring a PDR program, including a fully
County -run program; independent town -level programs; town -level programs with partial full County
funding; a County -funded program run by an outside agency such as a land trust; and a program run by
the Industrial Development Agency.
15
January 15, 2002
Mr. Daniels informed the Board that the Federal program requires a fifty percent local match and
the State program requires a twenty-five percent local match. A County PDR program can provide the
local share of the match. He said it is important to develop a program that will enable the County to
qualify for the State and Federal programs in order to take advantage of funds available.
Their recommendation is a County -funded and administered program for a number of reasons:
1. Equity — since PDR benefits all County residents, those in urbanized areas should help bear
the cost;
2. Most towns in the county lack the fiscal and staff resources needed to embark on a program of
their own;
3. A County -run program would allow amore efficient approach to agricultural land preservation;
4. Fairness — farmland owners cannot be expected to bear the cost.
If the County were to embark on a PDR program to protect farmland, it could expect over the
course of the program to protect anywhere from twelve thousand, six hundred acres to around twenty-one
thousand acres of farmland. Based on the projections in the study, this would cost between nine million
and fifteen million dollars (or between four hundred fifty thousand and seven hundred fifty thousand
dollars annually). This includes direct acquisition costs, program administration and the costs of
easement monitoring and enforcement. Mr. Daniels noted that Dutchess County issued one million in
bonds to fund their program and Suffolk County added two percent to the real-estate transfer tax.
Mr. Penniman, District No. 15 Representative, noted that often properties are abandoned rather
than developed and asked what would provide a successful PDR program. Mr. Daniels noted that what
makes it successful is the farmers' eager participation. He said that if they see a benefit to themselves in
the form of assistance to their farming operations and family they will participate. If they do not see a
future in farming they will not participate.
Ms. Blanchard, District No. 1 Representative, said she thought that what the inquiry was related
to was what type of economic conditions have prompted other municipalities to embark on a PDR project.
Mr. Daniels noted that Suffolk County is the leading agricultural area of New York State. They have
been seeing the value of the property for development increase significantly over the value for farming
purposes and resulted in the farmer's selling land for development, creating additional stress on farm
support businesses, which is a key element to the economy. Without the farms producing, the support
businesses necessary to farms could fold.
Mr. Franz stated that a problem that exists is the gradual erosion of farmlands and fragmentation
of the agricultural land through small -scaled residential building. He said that the development of a PDR
here would be different than in the other Counties mentioned; here in Tompkins County many of the
farmers are past retirement age and do not see any young farmers on the horizon that could afford to
purchase a farm. This has contributed to the loss of agricultural property in our area. He explained that a
farmer participating in the PDR could utilize the funds received to reduce the selling price of the farm and
make it possible for the young farmers to own property.
Mr. Totman, District No. 9 Representative, asked what happens to a farmer who participates in
the program in anticipation of young family members continuation of the family business, only to find in
future years that it is not the younger generation's desire to do so, and all the adjoining farms have been
sold. What are the options available.
Mr. Franz said that this is one reason why the planning stage of this program is important. He
stressed the importance of advanced planning when developing this program; that adjoining farms should
be one objective of this program; also, the municipality should be certain that contiguity takes place to
16
January 15, 2002
assure there is a better chance of a potential purchaser of the farm in the event the family does not desire
to continue in this field.
Mr. Totman asked what happens if all the surrounding farms do not desire to purchase the farm.
Ms. Platek, of the American Farmland Trust, said that there might be interest by a direct market farmer, or
another type of farming operation that may express an interest in the farm and with the reduced cost it
may be more easily sold.
Mr. Todd, District No. 6 Representative, asked who owns the rights after the farmer sells them.
Mr. Franz explained that at the time of the initial agreement the entity that is operating the
program holds the easement. At the time of selling the development rights the farmer may designate a
specific portion of the property may be excluded in the rights in order to utilize them in a different
fashion, i.e., to build a home(s) for a child(ren). The specific development and usage of the land is
determined by joint discussion between the landholder and easement holder. Once the development
rights are sold it would not allow any development or modification of the agreement.
Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Representative, said that from the presentation given at the Agricultural
and Farmland Protection Board his understanding was that the only possible sale of the easement rights
would be back to the farmer/landowner, not to any other entity or real estate developer.
Mr. Proto asked what effect participation in this program would have on the farmer/landowners
financial balance sheet and equity if they apply for a loan. Mr. Daniels explained that part of the process
of obtaining an easement would require a title search for mortgage holders. If there were mortgage
holders they would be required to sign an agreement that their loans would be subordinate to the
easement. This means that in the event of foreclosure the deed of easement would remain in place for the
duration of the initial agreement. He further stated that in the experiences of PDR's currently in existence
it has not posed any negative rating on the farmer/landowner credit rating. In the event mortgage holders
choose not to sign the subordination agreement the PDR cannot take place.
Mr. Lane, District No. 14 Representative, feels management of the PDR would seem more logical
to be in place at the town level rather than the county. He said that they would have a better idea of
specific growth issues of the municipality rather than looking at it from the county viewpoint. Mr. Lane
felt that the argument that it should be at the County level since it benefits the entire County is not
convincing. He feels the need to be extremely careful on how the program is to be developed so that a
municipality does not feel it is being told how the program is to be run in their area. The second area of
concern is the development of areas immediately outside presently developed residential areas of the
villages. He said that the Vital Communities initiative suggests additional development in existing
developed areas, would be in conflict with the PDR program that is designed to preserve those same
areas. Mr. Daniels said that the reason to have this program at the County level was suggested as smaller
communities may not have adequate funds available to operate it. Mr. Franz said that during the planning
process for the PDR requirements such as the growth of communities would have to be taken into
consideration prior to setting the boundaries for the program.
Ms. Robertson stated that she felt there is an appropriate role for the County in this process. Many
farms cross municipal lines, so individual towns may have a problem implementing a PDR program; the
Town of Ithaca has had just this problem. In addition, the County has planning resources that could assist
towns in managing a PDR program, to help keep the overall administrative costs down. Further, there
may be private foundation funds available to support the local share of a PDR program, and Ms.
Robertson suggested that the County consider such opportunities in any future deliberations. She then
asked for elaboration on why a farmer or landowner would select to participate in the program and limit
options available for the property. Mr. Daniels explained that it provides funding to expand on the
operations. He gave an example of a farmer who sold development rights so that he would bring his two
17
January 15, 2002
sons into the dairy operation and expanded the size of the herd. Mr. Daniels also said that it provides
funds that enable offspring to purchase a farm from the parent.
Mr. Penniman said that he hoped that all the municipalities of the County will review the many
facets of the program and come to understand what it is and how it may benefit the farmers of their
communities. He further commented that he sees the possible need for the County to administer the
program, however believes that it needs to be reviewed so that one municipality does not derive a greater
benefit than another.
Ms. Kiefer said that the Planning Committee will review all the information. She asked a
question related to soil preservation through this program and whether any municipality has utilized this
program to preserve prime soil apart from existing farms. Mr. Daniels said that active farms should be
targeted as they are contributing at the present time to the local agricultural economy. If sufficient funds
were available it maybe worthwhile to look into the possibility of obtaining property that is rented to
farmers. He said that he has not yet heard of just areas of prime agricultural soil being preserved.
Chair's Report and Appointment(s)
Mr. Joseph said that he has received inquiries regarding committee and board assignments and
referred individuals to the lists provided. He said the majority of assignments are made by the full Board
and/or Committees and that his assignments as Chair will be given this evening.
Mr. Joseph said there are two new committees he would like to appoint. The first is the
Information Technology Services Policy Committee that will replace the Information Management
Committee (IMC) and will be a standing committee. He noted that the department was having
difficulties implementing policy and procedure when they were required to present it to the IMC and then
repeat the process with the Government Operations Committee. This new committee will combine this
process so that only one presentation is made. This Committee will be chaired by Mr. Winch, and include
Chair Joseph and Ms. Kiefer as the other Board representatives on the Committee.
The second committee will be dealing with the issue of the temporary variances of inmate
housing at the Public Safety building. The Committee will be responsible for making a presentation to
the full Board for approval and comment, and then to the Commissioner of Corrections m support of the
temporary variances currently in place due to overpopulation at the public safety facility. Mr. Joseph
said that one thing that he would like to point out to the State Commissioner is that the County has been
attempting to strategize on how to reduce the need for inmate housing through various programs. These
strategies are now in place and the County would like to request time to develop these strategies. At the
same time the County will work with the Commissioner of Corrections on how to expand the jail if the
need arises. At this time Mr. Joseph is reactivating the Public Safety Building Space Study Committee
towards this end. It will consist of himself as Chair, Mrs. Schuler, Ms. Blanchard, Mr. Lane, and Mr.
Todd.
He said that Mr. Whicher has been assisting him in developing a retreat for Board members.
Information regarding the retreat has been given to Board members and Mr. Joseph asked that any
questions be directed to administration or personnel in training and development.

Report from the County Administrator
Mr. Whicher, County Administrator, informed the Board that the proposed State budget line that
would assist in increasing payroll for health care workers. Since the local share of the affected payroll is
twenty-five percent the local cost would increase.
Next, Mr. Whicher announced that the selection committee charged with interviewing for the
position of Communications Director has chosen Mr. Lee Shurtleff for the position. He thanked all
members of this selection committee for their participation and asked to submit the name of Mr. Shurtleff
for the Board's approval. Mr. Whicher also reported to the Board that a Resolution amending the actual
title of the position will be presented.
MOVED by Ms. Blanchard, seconded by Mr. Totman, to confirm the nomination and
appointment of Mr. Lee Shurtleff to the position of Communications Director. A voice vote resulted as
follows: Ayes — 14, Noes —1 (Representative Winch). MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Proto asked if any specific information was provided from the State level regarding health
care worker positions and where they fall within the budget. Mr. Whicher said that there are numerous
categories that have not been clearly defined and he is not certain where they fall. He did know that it
would have an impact on the Medicaid reimbursement rates, and therefore all of the programs. Mr.
Whicher also said that the information is being voted upon and anticipates having a report within the next
few days.
Mr. Winch inquired if the twenty-five percent noted is an increase or total. Mr. Whicher said that
the twenty five percent is the charge for the cost of the total program.
Mr. Proto asked during which budget would the increase be implemented. Mr. Whicher said it
could be as early as this year.
Ms. Robertson requested that an estimate of the number of workers and the category of workers
that this change would affect, be provided. Mr. Whicher said he would request a report for the Board.
Report from the County Attorney
Mr. Wood, County Attorney, informed the Board that the Town of Ithaca has filed an appeal on
the decision regarding the Public Works Building.
He also reported that a letter had been received from the Census Bureau thanking the County for
calling to their attention the errors in reporting. This letter did not provide any specific corrections and a
request has been made to the Census Bureau to provide the County with the correct figures for the block
reporting.
Mr. Wood said that he has obtained the information requested by the Board with regard to the
costs of litigation against the County by various municipalities. He noted that there are the two separate
lawsuits. The reapportionment lawsuit charges eighty percent of the billing to the Town of Ithaca. When
taking the figure they have paid and factoring in the other twenty percent it shows a total spent of
approximately $44,000 to $45,000. The other lawsuit that includes telecommunications and Bostwick
Road Facility shows the Town of Ithaca having paid approximately $10,500. At this time not all of the
municipalities involved have been billed so it is difficult to estimate the final cost.
Mr. Penniman noted that since the Town of Ithaca comprises twenty percent of the County that it
is contributing approximately twenty percent toward the County bill for litigation as well.
20
January 15, 2002
Mr. Proto inquired whether the participation of original litigants is the same for the lawsuit
regarding the communication towers. Mr. Wood replied that at this time it is only the Town of Ithaca
appealing the ruling of this lawsuit.
Mr. Winch asked for a written summary of monies expended by all parties connected with the
lawsuits so it would be available to review at a future date.
Report from the Finance Director
Mr. Squires, Finance Director, recommended that Representatives review the list of properties
scheduled to be placed in foreclosure by the County. He anticipated a substantial reduction in the list
prior to the actual foreclosure process. He believes it may be possible join the City of Ithaca in the
auction process.
Mr. Squires also reported that as a result of the soft -hiring practices the preliminary information
received indicates 1.8 million dollars of unexpended salary lines. This is almost seven percent of this
particular line item of the budget. He did state that this is a preliminary figure and the final outcome for
the year cannot yet be predicted.
Sales tax figures for the fourth quarter have been received and he was pleased to see the figure of
almost eight hundred thousand dollars in revenue.
Mr. Proto said that he had heard a news report that the Lung Association claimed inappropriate
spending by government of funds received through the tobacco lawsuit. This report said that the funds
were to be spent on health care initiatives and that some counties did not spend the funds in that manner.
Mr. Squires said that the settlement was made to reimburse Medicaid funds expended by governments for
tobacco -related illness and that many different means of utilizing these funds have been set up throughout
the State. Mrs. Schuler said that she recalled that it was up to the individual States to decide how to best
use these funds. Ms. Kiefer said she felt it was the State level that had been directed to spend it on anti -
tobacco education and that no directive was given below that level.

department has, she is looking for Committee members to come prepared with suggestions.
Report from the Government Operations Committee
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, Chairman, said the Committee will meet on February 12th at 11:30 a.m. He
noted that the Committee had met briefly to review the appointment of Director of Dispatch. He reported
that three members of the County Board did conduct the evaluation of County Administrator Steve
Whicher and will be providing Mr. Whicher's 2002 goals within the next several weeks.
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr also asked individuals to review the delinquent tax properties on the list
provided and to respond to Mr. Squires with any questions or concerns.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Economic and Workforce Development
Committee
Mr. Lane, Chairman, said that the presentation given at this meeting addressed the importance
and need to continually strive toward economic development in the County. He further noted that the
Committee met on January 10t and held basically an organizational meeting. The meeting started with
reviewing goals and anticipates a full report next month.
Additionally, Tompkins County Area Development provided a brief update of their agency.
Highlights of Industrial Development Agency projects included:
• Moldflow — the project is currently under construction on North Triphammer Road. Structural
steel is in place, construction remains on schedule, and Moldflow is expected to take occupancy
in the spring.
• Cornell Refinancing is experiencing a delay in closing on this $65 million tax-exempt financing
because of the current interest rate environment. It is expected that as soon as the rates are more
favorable the closing will take place.
• Porous Materials currently has all the financing in place for their project. The contractor and
company are working on routine design issues at the present time. A spring groundbreaking is
expected.
• Gateway Project — TCAD is working with the City and the IDP on an incentive package for this
mixed-use, multi -tenant redevelopment project. The IDA's new Density Incentive policy is being
considered and, if utilized, will be the first project to take advantage of this special property tax
incentive for projects using the mixed use, multi -tenant buildings. Mr. Lane inquired whether the
DeWitt Historical Society would still be located in the building following renovation. Mr. Stamm
said that he does believe that they will be within the building but may not be in the same specific
location.
He reported that the Committee received information from the Common Good Coalition and their
efforts to seek project labor agreements, fair labor practices, and other pertinent information that the
Committee has been reviewing for consideration by the County.
The Wall of Inspiration has been a topic of discussion at the Committee level and will be coming
to the full Board with suggestions of names to be decided upon. The County may choose one to be placed
in this special area as a result of a grant provided to the Sciencenter. Mr. Lane said that the Committee
wanted to pick an individual with local connections.
23
January 15, 2002
The County may also name a room within the newly renovated Sciencenter as a result of the
donation. Mr. Lane informed the Board that the Committee felt the Resource Room would be a good
choice to be noted as the room for the "People of Tompkins County."
The Committee met briefly prior to the regular meeting to discuss appointments to the Industrial
Development Agency.
Ms. Robertson inquired about a right-of-way sale in connection with the Gateway Project and
was referred to the City or Tompkins County Area Development to obtain the information.
Ms. Blanchard wished to report that Mr. Stamm of Tompkins County Area Development was on
his way to Albany to give a presentation of the Density Policy to the New York State Economic Group
meeting. This meeting is approximately two hundred individuals coming together to discuss economic

Report from the Health and Human Services Committee
Mr. Winch, Chair, thanked Mr. Joseph for his appointment as Chair of this Committee. He
wanted to state that he wanted individuals to realize that he does not feel that members of the Committee
and Departments will work under him, but rather, he is a player/coach who works with the Committee as
a team. He hopes that it will be a very productive year and he hopes to review the way that the County
provides services to determine if it is the most economical way to adequately provide services for
residents.
25
January 15, 2002
He reported that the first meeting of this Committee took place on January 15th and that it was a
very productive meeting. He said that the Human Services Cabinet will be working to develop evaluation
tools for the programs, looking to see what methods can be utilized by all departments.
The Committee received a report from the Mental Health Department that included the goals for
this year. This included the department recognizing the need to review programs for effectiveness and
possible recommendations for changes.
The Committee also reviewed and approved requests to fill vacancies within the Department of
Social Services and Health Department. He noted that it was mentioned that a streamlined form would be
beneficial to all when these requests are made. Mr. Whicher will be addressing this matter.
The Office for the Aging provided a report on the Personal Emergency Response Systems
(PERS) that have been made available to the disabled and elderly of the County. These units have been

Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag and Roll Call of Members
Members and guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.
Present: 15 Representatives.
Privilege of the Floor by the Public
No members of the public wished to speak.
Privilege of the Floor by Board Members
Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Representative, announced that former Board of Representatives
member Don Culligan was recognized and admitted into the Ithaca High School Sports Hall of Fame.
Mr. Culligan had been the longest serving member of the Board of Representatives and the most -winning
high school basketball coach in this region.
Mr. Penniman, District No. 15 Representative, reported briefly on the New York State
Association of Counties Conference that was held in January. Mr. Penniman said that those members of
the County who attended the conference were provided with a great deal of information regarding the
State budget. He said that both he and Ms. Blanchard participated on Committees and that several
packets of information on resolutions that were passed would be available in the Board of Representatives
Clerk's office. He said the State budget concerns him as it is based upon the assumption that there will be
a healthy rebound of the economy in the third quarter of 2002 and that the Federal government will assist
with Medicaid. He said that that will be followed closely.
Ms. Kiefer, District No. 10 Representative, called attention to a show airing on public television
this evening at 10:00 p.m. The Bill Moyers Show is highlighting the subject of Trading Democracy. It
will provide insight into the manner in which corporations are using an obscure section of the North
American Free Trade Agreement to challenge the powers of government at each level. Through the use
of this section of the agreement they are able to undermine environmental and health laws as well as our
system of justice and, in doing so, are creating a situation detrimental to the citizens of this country. Ms.
Kiefer felt it would be worthwhile for everyone to view this informational program.
Ms. McBean, District No. 2 Representative, said that there had been several meetings this past
week that she felt were very worthwhile. She said one was a town meeting by Congressman Maurice
Hinchey's and included his viewpoints on civil liberties. The other was a forum on civil liberties after
September 11. She said that it was good to see so many citizens present and expressing concerns about
the Patriot Act and asking questions. Congressman Hinchey said that the act is a document which
provides a great deal more than people realize to protect citizens.
Ms. Blanchard, District No. 1 Representative, said that she had learned at the New York State
Association of Counties (NYSAC) conference that a way to have a "louder voice" with regard to issues is
to prepare a resolution for inclusion of the appropriate committees at the NYSAC conference. She said
that this can be of more value than just sending our resolution to individuals within the State or Federal
government as we could pick up the support of fifty-six other counties by doing so. Mr. Joseph asked
27
February 5, 2002
how often the resolutions are brought forth to these committees and was informed by Ms. Blanchard that
it can occur twice a year.
Mr. Lane, District No. 14 Representative, asked the Board to remember the men and women of
the armed services serving abroad for the benefit of the American people and asked that we stop for a
moment to reflect upon them.
Report by Town Supervisor
Chair Joseph said that Hon. Cathy Valentino, Supervisor of the Town of Ithaca, had brought forth
the idea of providing a place on the agenda for Town Supervisors to speak to the Board of
Representatives. This idea was suggested to her by Mr. George Lattimer of the Westchester County
Board as a successful means to open the lines of communication between Town and County government.
A part of the suggestion that they found very useful was to let the Town Supervisors know that whatever
the issue brought to the County Board was, a response would be provided as quickly as possible. Mr.
Joseph also said that a question was raised with regard to the participation of the Mayor's of the County.
Mr. Joseph indicated that that was a reasonable request and if they desired the option was also open to
them.
Mr. Joseph introduced Hon. Cathy Valentino, Supervisor of the Town of Ithaca.
Supervisor Valentino said she was unsuccessful in finding an olive branch to offer, so she
presented to the Board of Representatives an eucalyptus branch with a yellow bow on it to symbolize
friendship. She said that after her meeting with Mr. Joseph, where they discussed the many more things
the Town and County have in common than different, she looked forward to working together to
strengthen them. She reported that the Municipal Officer's Association supported this new forum. She
said that they have worked their meetings so that some would not be in conflict with Board meetings.
She then invited Board members who would like to, to attend the next meeting of the Association on
March 26th with a social hour at six followed by dinner.
Next, Ms. Valentino said that she held a breakfast meeting for the Town of Ithaca County Board
Representatives and was pleased with the attendance. She has received a request for an afternoon
meeting in the future and will do her best to accommodate this request.
One item of interest was ways the Town could work together on projects; one such is through the
Planning Committee. She said that some of the advisory boards had lost interest and are now not
meeting. At the Municipal Officer's meeting it was suggested to form a committee for a short period that
would consist of up to two representatives of each community to discuss planning successes, failures, and
new ideas that might work in other areas. One item that had been discussed was the Vital Communities
Initiative and how it could be a tremendous success or failure and that municipal cooperation would be a
very important piece of the plan's success. Also discussed were the Aquifer Study, the purchase of
development rights, and the Charter review that is on-going and the possibility of having input in the
process.
At the breakfast she had spoken to Ms. Kiefer and Mr. Booth about Committee and Advisory
Board structure, their effectiveness, which ones are mandatory, etc. She said that she would like to have
information obtained regarding this matter so that the municipalities can review it. Ms. Valentino felt that
the municipalities could offer information of which committees and advisory boards were useful to their
communities.
She is also interested in the Highway Department and ways that the municipalities might assist in
reducing costs such as decentralization of services.
28
February 5, 2002
Ms. Valentino spoke of how she, like Board members, did not come to be a servant for the public
because of a goal set in life, but rather as a means to assist others, and felt that an important part of this is
to be able to communicate, understand, and respect individuals perspectives. She told the Board of a
speaker she had previously heard of from Rochester who was extremely successful with inter -municipal
agreements who had told the attendees that it was successful because she went into the meetings with the
thought in mind of "what am I willing to give up", not "what am I going to gain" and that it was the only
way that the agreements would work.
In closing, Ms. Valentino said that she felt that she believes that statement and that together the
Towns and County can achieve truly great and wonderful things.
Mr. Joseph thanked Supervisor Valentino for having worked hard over the course of the past
several months to work towards "healing the wounds." He also reiterated that we have more in common
than different. He then asked to what specific items she would like a response.
Ms. Valentino said the interim planning committee suggestion was one. Mr. Joseph asked Ms.
Kiefer to respond to the request. Also the Highway Department suggestion that Ms. Blanchard said she
will assist in, and the Committee/Advisory Board review that Mr. Joseph said he would address.
Dick Booth, District No. 3 Representative, expressed his appreciation in Ms. Valentino's coming
to the meeting.
Presentation on Jail Variances
Mr. Joseph provided a history for the variances at the local Public Safety Building from the
Commission of Corrections. He said the need to have the variances has been a result of over -crowding at
the jail. He has formed a committee consisting of himself, County Administrator Steve Whicher, Board
of Representative members Nancy Schuler and Barbara Blanchard, Sheriff Peter Meskill, and Jail
Administrator Deborah Neimi. On March 19, 2002, they will be making a presentation to the
Commission to continue the existing variances and he desired the Board preview for its input and critique.
Mr. Joseph then pointed out the written materials on members desks for them to review and
called their attention to the Labella Report that is on file at the Administration office.
Mr. Joseph began his presentation that included information on space needs of the jail as well as a
review of crime prevention and the possible success of treating individual's entire needs to reduce crime
and thereby reduce the jail population. A review of data compiled by the consultant did not sufficiently
agree with what Committee members perceived. The projection obtained by the consultant was a straight
line and did not seem to be an accurate projection. At that point a determination was made to put together
a variety of programs that it was believed have the potential to reduce crime and jail population. It was
felt that the best way to proceed was to work on both a review and design to increase the space at the jail
and the development of programs to reduce crime and the need for incarceration. In order to fully reach
an accurate projection of both the need for space and the success of the programs it would require more
time, and therefore continuation of the variances. Mr. Joseph said that there is a need for upgrading at the
Public Safety Building whether or not additional space is needed for inmate housing.
The approach of the programs involves the courts, district attorney, sheriff, police, probation, and
a variety of community agencies in a mutual effort to amend programs to provide individuals with a total
rehabilitation program that will treat the whole individual rather than just individual needs. The Drug
Courts were examples of the positive results of this approach to the rehabilitation of individuals.
Next, Mr. Whicher spoke of the extensive comprehensive program which takes a holistic
approach. He said that the County believed so much in this approach that over a million dollars has been
29
February 5, 2002
spent in its development — all in the face of loss of state dollars (CHIPS, PINS, etc.). Mr. Whicher also
said that due to the horrific events of September 1 l s' there are other areas requiring the County's attention
as well. Areas noted in the presentation included the needs of the building in the interim, the
commitment of the County to reinvest in the jail, and the need to fully evaluate the long-term potential of
the programs that have been initiated.
Following the presentation members of the Board provided their opinion of the materials and oral
information provided, the manner of the presentation, and their opinion of the areas of presentation that
could possibly be modified. Suggestions included placing the conclusion first, a smoother presentation of
facts, placement of current history of the programs in place, visual aides, and potential plans for
expansion. Questions were posed regarding whether at the end of two years a decision would be either
jail expansion or the alternative to incarcerations programming. Comments regarding variance requests
for other Counties having been denied showed concern that the County's request might meet with the
same and, if so, how would we respond.
Mr. Joseph noted that he had been advised not to inquire for the two-year variance at the
beginning of the presentation. He also said that at the end of the two-year period a decision would then
be made regarding options available with programs.
Sheriff Meskill felt that a variance of one year at a time should be requested. He also said there is
a large history of preventive programs available.
Mr. Joseph polled each member asking if they would support a construction project at the end of
the two-year period. Representatives expressed their approval of a capital project in the future for the jail.
Representative Todd requested a chart or list of the reason(s) individuals are incarcerated in order to make
an educated review of those who may or may not be incarcerated for a victimless crime. Mr. Joseph said
the answers to the questions are in the report provided by the consultants.
Mr. Whicher pointed out to Board members that the Alternatives to Incarceration funding will
cease at the end of this year and they need to keep this in mind for future reference.
Mr. Joseph said that many of the new programs are not just a change of sentencing but
corrections and rehabilitation. He recognizes that two years will not provide definitive information but
will only provide a sense of future projection.
Ms. Robertson suggested that Ms. Richmond of the ATI Program go with the Committee for the
presentation to be able to answer questions relative to those programs.
Sheriff Meskill said that he does not feel the Commission will be concerned with the financial
status of the County as much as the care, safety, and well-being of inmates. He feels that it would not be
prudent to base the request on a financial status. He also said that he recognizes that although it may
appear that boarding out of inmates appears less expensive, that the expansion of the jail portion of the
building is not the only issue and that administrative spaces and other areas need to be increased as well.
Sheriff Meskill said that it needs to be recognized that drugs are not a victimless crime; that all aspects of
an individual's life are affected.
Mr. Joseph thanked all individuals for their participation.

Tompkins County for County employees having the most first-time donors of blood in the category we
fall in. Seventy pints were donated, thirty-one of which were first-time donations.
Report from the County Administrator
Mr. Whicher, County Administrator, addressed a question raised at the last Board meeting and
said he had investigated the information in The Ithaca Journal article relative to the county taxes. He
tracked down the information that the article was based upon and discovered the supporting document
appears to be from 2000. He said that Tompkins County's overall taxes rank 29th from the lowest of 57.
He said that that places the County in the middle of those reported. The overall taxes are Town, County,
and school. When looking at just property taxes, we are 18t (in the lowest third) of 57 counties. This
information will be passed along to the newspaper for clarification.
Report from the County Attorney
Mr. Wood, County Attorney, informed the Board that the revised data from the Census Bureau
has been received and that it is what had been anticipated. These data have been provided to the Court for
their review. He said that he expects and hopes that it will end the case. He reported that the Town's
argument was that the deviation might exceed ten percent. In fact, this number decreased from 9.91 to
9.90 percent, the difference of one person.
Report from the Finance Director
Mr. Squires, Finance Director, did not have a report.

Report from the Economic and Workforce Development Committee
Mr. Lane, Chairman, said the Committee has not met since the last time the Board met. The
Committee will meet next on February 14, 2002. He reported that the meeting will start at 1:00 p.m. in
order to allow a special presentation by Tompkins County Area Development to discuss their Economic
Development Strategy and progress made during 2001. All members are invited to this presentation.
He said that on February 6, 2002 there is a luncheon for the New York State Commissioner of
Labor who will be in town to recognize the Tompkins County Workforce Development Center as the first
to be certified in the State of New York. He said that this is an honor as we are the first and are receiving
requests statewide to assist their centers to come up to the standards set by our County.
Mr. Lane also said that the Industrial Development Agency reviewed a variety of projects at its
meeting. In particular, he noted the agreement to extend tax incentives to the proposed Gateway
Development Project that will redevelop the old Dean of Ithaca Building and others in the area.
Mr. Proto inquired if the Industrial Development Agency has heard any progress on the project
involving the old Miller Building which housed a microbrewery. Mr. Lane said that that project has not

Project portion brought forward at this time is the office and retail space.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Budget and Capital Committee
Mr. Penniman, Chairman, said the Committee has met twice since the last Board meeting. He
spoke to the Board regarding the appointment of employees to the various advisory boards and
committees that exist. He said that many employees belong to a variety of boards and committees and
that it is his belief that it is not inappropriate so long as there is not a conflict of interest between the board
and their job assignment. He feels it is up to the department to work out any possible conflict.
He said that at the meetings held an overview was provided of the budgetary procedures and
fiscal policy. A preliminary report on the cash position of various departments was reviewed and a
complete fiscal report should be available in early March, providing a more thorough account of how the
County made out with revenues and expenditures for 2001. Subsequent to this the Committee will start to
review scenarios for the coming year and how the cash position fits into the 2003 budget process.

WHEREAS, GML § 209-m, New York Criminal Procedure Law §§ 140.10-1 & 3, 120.60 et seq.,
and 690.25, and other applicable authority authorize Law Enforcement Officers to exercise certain police

NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to the above considerations and the covenants and mutual benefits
herein expressed, the parties agree as follows:
1. Approval. This Agreement is executed pursuant to approvals of the respective governing Boards
of the parties.
2. Purpose. It is recognized that in certain situations the use of law enforcement officers to perform
law enforcement duties and the use of law enforcement equipment and supplies outside the
territory of the local government where the officers are legally employed may be desirable and
necessary in order to preserve and protect the health, safety and welfare of the public. Although
the City of Ithaca is located within Tompkins County, solely for purposes of this Agreement, the
City shall not be considered to be within the territorial limits of Tompkins County. Operations by
the Tompkins County Sheriffs Office within the City of Ithaca shall be considered operations
outside the territory of the Sheriffs Office. The additional objectives of this agreement are:
a. the more efficient utilization of Law enforcement resources and services;
b. an enhanced degree of cooperation between the Ithaca City Police Department and the
Tompkins County Sheriff's Office;
c. an enhanced effectiveness of response to requests to handle and resolve Law enforcement
intervention situations;
d. to ensure an adequate number of trained and equipped law enforcement officers to handle
and resolve emergency, disaster and violent situations which cannot be met with the

procedures and expertise are shared with other departments and personnel.
38
February 5, 2002

provided among the parties during those times of both:
a. emergency, and
b. routine law enforcement work of a non -emergency nature to fulfill a mutual aid request.
Examples of the latter situation would be pre -arranged training exercises and programs as well as
temporary assignment of law enforcement officers and/or equipment to another law enforcement
agency for training or patrol purposes where the officers and/or equipment may be involved in
police intervention situations.
4. Power and Authorization.
a. Each party authorizes the Police Chief, the Sheriff or the officer commanding the Law
Enforcement Agency in the Chief's or the Sheriff's absence to render and request mutual
aid or assistance to and from the other party to the extent of available personnel, supplies
and equipment not required for adequate protection of the local government rendering
aid. The judgment of the Police Chief, the Sheriff, or officer commanding in the Chief's
or Sheriff's absence of each municipality rendering aid as to the amount of personnel,
supplies and equipment available shall be final.
b. The obligation to render mutual aid is strictly voluntary in nature. It does not place either
the Ithaca City Police Department or the Tompkins County Sheriff's Office under any
obligation to respond to a request for mutual aid or assistance of the other party that it is
unable or unwilling to honor. Such Law enforcement aid may be provided on an actual
or standby basis.
c. The commanding Law Enforcement Officer of the assisting local government shall report
to and receive instructions from the commanding law enforcement officer of the

Enforcement Officers assisting another local government outside the geographical area of
employment shall have all powers and authority of Law Enforcement and Peace Officers
in such other jurisdiction as provided by law including the power of arrest.

39
February 5, 2002
b. Except for claims relating to compensation, expenses and liabilities set forth in this

governments parties to this agreement, which may arise out of a local governrnent's
activities outside of their respective jurisdictions while rendering aid under this
agreement.
c. The local government receiving aid pursuant to this agreement shall assume the liability
for all damages and loss for equipment, materials arising out of any act performed in
rendering such aid and shall reimburse the assisting local government for such damages
or loss. Specifically exempt from this agreement are the payment of wages, benefits
(including workers' compensation and GML 207-C benefits), salaries, and other sundry
operational and supply expenses. Each law enforcement agency will be responsible for its
respective salaries, wages, benefits (including workers' compensation and GML 207-C
benefits) and sundry operational expenses unless agreed to separately by the Police Chief
and Sheriff.
d. All immunities from liability enjoyed by the local government within its boundaries shall

laws, ordinances and regulations which Law Enforcement Officers employed by local
governments which are parties to this agreement have in their own jurisdictions shall be
effective in the jurisdiction in which they are giving aid unless otherwise provided by law
or this agreement.
e. Each party shall be liable for the negligence of its officers and personnel in the same
manner and to the same extent as if such negligence occurred in the performance of their
duties within their territorial limits. Each party shall indemnify and defend the other for
claims alleging such negligence.
6. Rules and Regulations. The Police Chief and the Sheriff of the local governments shall
establish uniform rules and regulations for requesting and rendering mutual aid as necessary and
appropriate to implement this agreement. Vehicles, firearms, equipment and apparatus furnished
in or for mutual aid shall be operated by personnel trained in the proper use of same. It is
understood that under no circumstance will privately owned vehicles or equipment be utilized in
providing mutual aid unless commandeered or authorized by the commanding officer of the local
government receiving aid.
7. Cooperation. In the event a mutual aid or assistance situation results in an officer -involved
shooting, accidental injury or other event or results requiring investigation or review, both parties
will cooperate and consult with each other in the conduct of such investigation or review. Each
local government and each law enforcement agency will make available to the other any
information or resources necessary to conduct such investigation or review.
8. The Police Chief and the Sheriff will fully communicate, consult and cooperate with each other to
insure that a thorough, efficient and effective investigation or review is conducted and that

RESOLUTION NO. 12 - AUTHORIZING MEMBERSHIP IN THE INTERMUNICIPAL
COOPERATIVE RECREATION PARTNERSHIP
MOVED by Mr. Winch, seconded by Mr. Penniman, and unanimously adopted by voice vote.
Mr. Winch explained that this agreement has been worked on for a long period and expressed
appreciation to Ms. Nancy Zahler, Director of the Youth Bureau, and her staff for bringing this forward.
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Planning and Intergovernmental Relations Committee
initiated an inter -municipal recreation planning process in 1999, and
WHEREAS, the Recreation Planning Group comprised of municipal representatives from the
Towns of Caroline, Danby, Dryden, Enfield, Groton, Ithaca, and Ulysses, Village of Lansing, and the
City of Ithaca and Tompkins County developed a Proposal for the Future that was approved by all parties
during their budget adoptions in 2000, and
WHEREAS, the municipal representatives on the newly created Recreation Partnership Board
have spent most of 2001 negotiating an agreement to govern their on-going program partnership which
jointly plans, finances, provides, and coordinates shared recreational services that supplement and
complement those offered by localities, and
WHEREAS, the Partnership has offered over forty programs and 7,970 registrations of youth
have already been recorded for 2001, and
WHEREAS, the attached Agreement for Intermunicipal Cooperative Recreation Partnership has
been approved by the Recreation Partnership Board on January 8, 2002 and now must be ratified by all
eleven participating municipalities (Towns of Caroline, Danby, Dryden, Enfield, Groton, Ithaca,
Newfield, and Ulysses, Village of Lansing, City of Ithaca, and Tompkins County), now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of Health and Human Services Committee, That the Board of
Representatives continue its commitment to finding collaborative inter -municipal solutions to meeting
youth needs by officially joining the Intermunicipal Cooperative Recreation Partnership,
RESOLVED, further, That the Chair of the Board of Representatives be, and hereby is,
authorized to sign the attached Agreement.
SEQR ACTION: TYPE II -20
AGREEMENT FOR INTERMUNICIPAL COOPERATIVE
RECREATION PARTNERSHIP
Pursuant to Section 119-o of the General Municipal Law, the undersigned municipalities hereby enter into
this Agreement to form a Recreation Partnership.
This agreement shall become effective upon execution by each and every municipality listed in
below and shall continue indefmitely. If all of the approvals and signatures are not obtained by March 31,
2002 this agreement shall be null and void.
Establishing a Program
The parties hereby establish an on-going program partnership for the purpose of jointly planning,
financing, providing, and coordinating shared, recreational services that supplement and complement
those offered by localities. A governing board of partners will direct and oversee the contracted services
42
February 5, 2002
of the Ithaca Youth Bureau's Recreation Division and other providers. The Partnership will be governed
independently of any municipality. The Partnership will have no authority over any locally planned,
locally funded, and locally operated programs except at the request of the sponsoring municipality. Local
programs may choose to use the Partnership as a vehicle for voluntarily sharing information, equipment,
publicity about programs, and/or coordinating their respective services. The Ithaca City School District
participates by providing access to school facilities for Ithaca Youth Bureau programming in a reciprocal
and mutually beneficial arrangement outlined in a Memorandum of Understanding.
Sharing Program Costs
For 2001, the Ithaca Youth Bureau, in consultation with the current Recreation Partnership Board,
developed a diverse set of services that cost no more than $185,000 after program revenues were
subtracted. This required a combined approach of increasing sponsorships, raising fees, trimming costs
and reducing new offerings since the projected cost for 2001 was originally $195,000.
The $185,000 in net operating costs of programs was split four ways. The City of Ithaca paid one
quarter of the total, the Town of Ithaca paid one quarter, and the County paid one quarter. The remaining
one-quarter was shared among smaller municipalities.
The cost for each smaller municipality was calculated using an index that combined the 1999
assessed value of its taxable properties in the Ithaca School District and its share of program participation
in 1998. The Planning Group selected this formula, which assigns the assessed value twice the weight of
participation, for several reasons. First, the use and weighting of assessed value was used as a measure of
each municipality's ability to pay for services. Second, the formula recognizes that children from the
Ithaca City School District have been significant users of the services and a number of municipalities
have been concerned about providing equitable support to all their youth. Third, the use of Ithaca City
School District properties as opposed to the municipalities' full assessment, acknowledges that towns like
Dryden, Ulysses, Groton, and Lansing also invest significantly in their own local recreation programs
which are used primarily by children from their own school districts. Finally, by assigning a heavier
weight to the assessed values of properties in the Ithaca School District, the amounts in this fiscal scenario
resulted in more modest changes over the current amounts than most of the other formulas considered. A
chart outlining 2001 and 2002 proposed costs is attached as Appendix 1.
To determine future contributions:
A) The governing board shall review preliminary budget projections by May and decide on the
acceptable net program cost for the upcoming year;
B) The governing board shall develop budget guidelines for allocating the cost of any agreed upon
increases. e.g. The governing board may specify how much of the increase should be raised
through fee increases, how much is to be raised through sponsorships, how much through cost
cutting, and how much should be subsidized by partners;
C) Every year, the participation rates of the three previous years shall be reviewed, averaged and
used along with the most recent assessed valuation to re -calculate the members' contribution rate
for the upcoming year;
D) The governing board shall periodically re-examines the basis for cost allocation (e.g. The 4 way
split and the use of the index with smaller municipalities) for all participating municipalities.
If the City is not able to achieve an acceptable facilities agreement by July 1, 2002, the
City Youth Bureau, as a provider, reserves the right to re -negotiate the facility costs charged to partners
for Ithaca Youth Bureau Recreation Division Programs beginning in January 2003.

February 5, 2002
Governance
Name: The governing board shall be called the Recreation Partnership Board. It will replace the
Recreation Partnership Board that existed from 1995-2000.
Membership: The board shall have a total of 14 members. The partners include: Towns of
Caroline, Danby, Dryden, Enfield, Groton, Ithaca, Newfield and Ulysses, the Village of Lansing, City of
Ithaca and Tompkins County. Each participating municipality will have at least one seat on the governing
board (11). The Recreation Planning Group recommends that these seats be filled with an elected official
willing and able to make policy decisions. When deemed necessary by any municipality, a lay designee
who has the confidence of that municipal board may be appointed.
In addition, the City of Ithaca, the Town of Ithaca, and Tompkins County may appoint one more
representative each to reflect their greater investment in the Partnership (3). These additional appointed
representatives may be elected or lay members. The Recreation Partnership Board may determine if it
wants to create any non-voting at -large seats to add expertise or coordinating links to other key
stakeholder groups e.g. Ithaca School District, youth with disabilities.
Members will serve two-year terms.
The governing board will elect its own officers: a Chair, a vice chair, and a treasurer.
Roles of the Recreation Partnership Board
The Recreation Partnership Board will develop its own operating by-laws to be ratified by all
municipal partners. Future amendments will be subject to ratification by all participating municipalities.
The Board will develop a work plan of key policy, program, and planning issues to be addressed
annually.
The Board will select providers, set program and budget priorities, and approve the net operating
budget for programs, set fees for all programs and sponsorships and fiscal targets and guidelines for
scholarships for use by the provider(s). Municipal boards will ratify the budget annually.
The Board will meet monthly to review progress toward goals, address policy questions, review
performance data, and fmances to assure that provider(s) are meeting the goals and expectations of the
partners.
The Board will authorize any addition or deletion in programs and acceptance of any large group
sponsorships.
The Board will periodically evaluate the performance of its providers and make recommendations
to enable providers to improve services
The Board may assign a liaison to program advisory committees to work with the group and staff
to identify any policy questions that need action by the full governing board.
Recreation Partnership Board representatives will be required to make regular reports to their
municipalities.
Roles of officers
The Chair shall develop the agenda in consultation with the Tompkins County Youth Bureau staff
and providers, chair the meetings, represent the Recreation Partnership Board at inter -municipal or public

February 5, 2002
meetings, assist as needed in contract negotiations to implement the wishes of The Recreation Partnership
Board.
The Vice Chair shall act in the absence of the chair.
The Treasurer will work with the provider(s) and Tompkins County Youth Bureau staff to
develop a format for regular financial reports that meet the needs of the Recreation Partnership Board.
The Treasurer will review the financial report prior to the Board meetings and present the report to the
full Board, noting any significant changes in expenses or revenues. The Treasurer will recommend to the
Board a budget timetable and guidelines to enable providers to prepare budgets for the upcoming year.
Fiscal agent and staff support: The participating municipalities will make their payments to
Tompkins County. The funds will be managed as a separate program within the Tompkins County Youth
Bureau's budget. The County Youth Bureau will contract with and make payments to providers
authorized by the Recreation Partnership Board.
It is a goal of the Recreation Partnership Board to establish a program coordinator position that
would exist independent of any individual participating municipality. Within two years of signing the
agreement, the Recreation Partnership Board will develop a proposal that includes the role and
relationship of the coordinator to the partnership board, its members and providers, the duties and
qualifications of the position, the cost to members, and designate the employer of record. The proposal
shall be reviewed by all participating municipalities.
Staff from the Tompkins County Youth Bureau will work in close cooperation with the recreation
Division of the Ithaca Youth Bureau and other providers to provide support to the Recreation Partnership
Board that includes:
• coordination of orientation to the Partnership and its services;
• orientation to the roles of the Recreation Partnership Board and its members;
• assistance in developing an annual work plan of priority planning, oversight, and evaluation
issues;
• assistance in developing policy options and guidelines as needed to implement the work plan;
• preparation of meeting agendas in consultation with the Board chair and providers;
• preparation of minutes;
• preparation of contracts with providers as authorized by the Recreation Partnership Board;
• coordination with the providers to assure that program and financial reporting meets the
needs of the Recreation Partnership Board;
• coordination with providers to assure that their program policy questions that require Board
decisions are acted on in a timely way;
• authorization of payments after Board review of expenses;
• assistance to the Board in monitoring and evaluating providers, as requested.
The provider(s) will be responsible for:
• providing the programs and services authorized by the Recreation Partnership Board in
compliance with all relevant laws and safety regulations;
• providing a summary of participation, program highlights, participant feedback, expenses and
revenues for each program within two months after the last date of the provision of service to
enable the Board to evaluate the program and make recommendations for the future;
• convening advisory groups as needed to review operational details of interest to participants;
• providing adequate liability coverage for approved programs and holding the participating
municipalities harmless
45
February 5, 2002
• tracking and reporting expenses and revenues in formats requested by the Recreation
Partnership Board, in account(s) separate from the provider's main budget;
• tracking participation in formats and on a schedule requested by or acceptable to the Board;
• periodically highlighting any trends or significant changes in programming, participation,
customer feedback, expenses or revenues for the Recreation Partnership Board;
• recommending programs or changes to improve services and/or lower costs;
• working with the Tompkins County Youth Bureau to present any policy questions and
options related to programs or financing that require Board action.
FISCAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE ACCOUNTABILITY
Independence: The Partnership will be a free-standing inter -municipal commission governed by
its partners.
Role and Relationship of the City of Ithaca: In the past, the City of Ithaca has been a member,
the sole provider, coordinator, and the fiscal agent for the partnership. In the future, the City will be a
member responsible for one quarter of the program costs. Like other members, it will make a payment to
Tompkins County for its share of the approved budget. Like Tompkins County and the Town of Ithaca, it
will have two seats on the governing board. Like other members, it may ask or convene local advisory
committees to recommend the kinds of recreation services they want for the residents of their own
municipality.
As a provider selected to operate programs for the next two years, the City of Ithaca will
hire/contract staff as needed within the approved budget to provide services authorized by the Recreation
Partnership Board. The Ithaca Youth Bureau will be subject to normal civil service rules and procedures
and to approved collective bargaining agreements. As a provider, the City will use its own facilities and
may enter into agreements with other municipal partners or agencies to use other facilities throughout the
partnership for approved programs.
As a provider, the City will keep separate account of partnership funds and report in a format and
on a timetable requested by the Recreation Partnership Board.
Role of Tompkins County: Tompkins County is the fiscal agent for the Partnership. The
County shall provide bills to the municipalities based on the agreed upon cost allocation and shall receive
funds from the municipalities.
The County Youth Bureau will administer those funds in accordance with the wishes of the
Recreation Partnership Board by creating and managing contracts with designated providers and making
approved payments to providers. The providers will continue to be responsible for tracking line item
expenses and program revenues and will provide this information in a format required by the Recreation
Partnership Board.
Fiscal accountability
As a condition of this agreement, designated provider(s) will maintain completely separate
accounting for the Partnership that clearly shows all revenues by program, cluster and total; that shows all
expenses, including direct, administrative, and facility -related costs by program, cluster and total.
The providers must be able to track surpluses and deficits across budget years.
The providers will prepare fmancial reports in a format that satisfies the governing board which
includes proposed budget, year to date cumulative expenses and revenues.
46
February 5, 2002
The providers will also identify any potential for under or over -spending in the upcoming quarter
so the governing board can make decisions on how to address changes.
How surpluses and deficits will be handled
The Recreation Partnership Board will decide how unanticipated under -spending or surpluses will
be handled. For example, a surplus or savings might be carried over for one-time program expenses,
reserved for future deficits, used to pilot new self-supporting programs, used as credits to reduce next
year's municipal payments or budgeted into a reserve fund for equipment/vehicle replacement.
A provider may experience a deficit from shortfalls in revenue despite its due diligence in trying
to meet projections or unanticipated increases in costs. If this occurs, the Recreation Partnership Board
will, in consultation with the provider, develop a plan to handle the deficit which may include:
authorizing mid -year changes to increase revenue or cut costs; authorizing use of a contingency fund.
How Municipalities Join or Leave the Partnership
The Towns of Lansing and Newfield may join the Partnership on a trial basis for one year starting
in 2001 at the costs shown in Appendix 1. During the trial period, they would not be subject to the
member withdrawal requirements listed below. If they elect to join, they will be invited to appoint one
elected official or designee to serve on the Partnership Board.
If any municipality chooses to join after October 2001, the Recreation Partnership Board will
decide how to handle the increased municipal contribution for the trial period. After the trial year, the
cost-sharing formula will be re -adjusted for all continuing partners.
A member municipality may elect to withdraw from the Partnership. Since a withdrawal from the
Partnership will financially affect all of the remaining partners, the municipality seeking to withdraw
must give fifteen months notice. E.g. A municipality must notify the Partnership by October 1, 2001 of
its intention to withdraw at the end of December 2002.
If a municipality withdraws and the remaining partners agree to assume some or all of the
shortfall caused by the withdrawal, the same cost allocation plan shall be used to re -calculate their annual
program contributions.
Participation in Programs by Residents on Non -Member Municipalities
Residents from non-member municipalities are welcome to participate on a space -available basis.
Since they are not contributing through local taxes to subsidize the programs, they will be charged a fee
twice the rate charged to members OR the actual unsubsidized cost, based on the prior year's calculation,
whichever amount is higher.

Cost Sharing Plan for Recreation Partnership Municipal Members
In the plan agreed to by all eleven participating municipalities, the cost to partners is calculated by
subtracting all fees and other revenues from the cost of providing registration- based programs approved
by the Partnership Board. Note: This net cost does not include the operating costs of facilities offering
open skating, swimming. The net cost is to be shared according the following formula:
City of Ithaca shall pay one quarter.
Town of Ithaca shall pay one quarter.
Tompkins County shall pay one quarter to underwrite the cost to all municipalities.
Smaller municipalities shall share the remaining one-quarter.
Formula for sharing one quarter of the net cost of programs among smaller municipalities:
48
February 5, 2002
The following figures were calculated using an index of assessed value of taxable properties in the Ithaca
City School District and the percentage of participation from each municipality. As approved by the
Recreation Partnership Planning Group and Board, property assessments were assigned a value of twice
that of participation. (Detailed calculations are on file at Tompkins County Youth Bureau)
For 2001, the 1998 assessed values were used with 1998 participation.
For 2002, the 2000 assessed values were used with an average of participation in 98,99,2000

Regular Meeting
Public Hearing - Proposed 2002 Small Cities Program (Homeownership Program)
Vice Chair Lane called the public hearing to order at 5:30 p.m. concerning the proposed 2002
Small Cities Program. Edward Marx, Planning Commissioner, introduced David Carlson, consultant,
and provided the Board with a summary of the 2002 Small Cities Application.
"Tompkins County is proposing to continue and expand the Homeownership Program originally
developed and funded in 1993, and re -funded in 1994, 1996, 1999, and 2000. A $600,000 grant is
requested that will enable the County to assist an additional 20-25 first-time homebuyers.
"The terms, conditions, and policies now being utilized will be continued as part of Tompkins
County Homeownership Program VI. Basic terms include the following:
• Assistance of up to $25,000 will be provided as a second mortgage, all of which or a
portion, which will be deferred for a period of five years.
• Applicants will be required to commit to a minimum of two percent of the purchase price
or $1,500 (whichever is greater) toward down payment and closing costs.
• Applications must show that a minimum of 23 percent of their annual income will be
used for housing expenses.
• Up to $10,000 will be permitted to be used for rehabilitation. No "handyman specials"
will be permitted to be purchased under the program.
"Better Housing for Tompkins County, a local not-for-profit, will continue to provide housing
counseling and other administrative services as part of the program. Financial counseling has been
intensified in recent years to better meet the needs of program participation.
"Local lenders are expected to commit themselves to participating in the program. In 2000,
lenders committed $3,750,000 in additional mortgage funds to the program. Lenders are also expected to
continue to reduce fees and closing costs associated with home purchases."
No one from the public wished to speak. Vice Chair Lane declared the public hearing closed at
5:32 p.m.
Public Hearing - Acquisition by the County of private lands pursuant to the Eminent Domain
Procedures Law
Vice Chair Lane called the public hearing to order at 5:32 concerning the possible acquisition by
the County of private lands pursuant to the Eminent Domain Procedures Law. The purpose of the
acquisition is to widen North Triphammer Road and shall allow comment from the public, and will
review public use to be served and the impact on the environment and residents of the locality and asked
if anyone wishes to speak. Mr. Lane explained the Board will need to consider a resolution later in the
meeting to hold a public hearing on this matter at the March 19th Board meeting. This will allow for the
necessary time to publish legal notices relating to this hearing.
No member of the public wished to speak. Vice Chair Lane declared the public hearing closed at
5:34 p.m.

Robertson).
Privilege of the Floor by the Public
Jay Franklin, Assistant Director of the Assessment Department, stated he feels there is a lack of
senior exemptions and Enhanced STAR exemptions coming into the Assessment Office. The application
is due March 1 and at this time they are at 59 percent of combined exemptions returned. Mr. Franklin
said there are other exemptions that are still outstanding, and noted people do not have to wait until
income tax returns are filed to submit an application. He said a media campaign is underway and asked
that Board members take this information to their constituencies and urge residents to apply. At the
request of Mr. Proto, Mr. Franklin will supply Board members with a list of their constituents who
received exemptions last year.
Mr. Lane recognized students in attendance from the Ithaca High School's Participation in
Government class.
Privilege of the Floor by Board Members
Mr. Penniman, District No. 15 Representative, said last week he attended a government class at
Cornell on budgeting and economics. He said it related well to the article in today's Ithaca Journal where
Assemblyman Luster suggested there should be a new tax bracket for higher income citizens to help raise
money. Mr. Penniman said there are some good reasons for this and he has a report from the class he will
copy and distribute to all Board members. He said one interesting economic point that he noted was that
taxing the higher income people is less likely to take money out of the local economy than it would to
continue passing the taxes onto the property taxes.
Ms. Herrera, District No. 3 Representative, reported she attended an interesting exhibit at the
Dewitt Historical Museum on migrant workers in the Northeast, and recommended that people take a look
at it. She also reported she and Representative Robertson visited Ithaca High School and spoke to seniors
about serving on the Board of Representatives. Ms. Herrera expressed great enthusiasm about the
experience and thanked Mr. Van Avery and the other teachers for having them there.
Mrs. Schuler, District No. 4 Representative, announced this month's Kiwanis Officer of the
Month is Tompkins County Deputy Dawn Caulkins for her diligence and being first on the scene during
the recent arrests at Tompkins Cortland Community College. She noted this is the second time Ms.
Caulkin's has received this honor.
Mr. Lane, District No. 14 Representative, expressed condolences to the family of Jim Bobnick
who passed away over the past weekend. Mr. Bobnick was a long-time active resident of the Dryden
Community and former Dryden School Board President.
Ms. McBean, District No. 2 Representative, said Black History Month continues to be celebrated
in Tompkins County and invited Board members to stop by Southside Community Center where each
Saturday the Center has been offering a speaker series on black issues.
Privilege of the Floor by Town Supervisor
Mark Varvayanis, Town of Dryden Supervisor, read and submitted the following statement:
"I would like to thank you for inviting me here to have this little chat. I am sure that regular
communication will help to keep us moving forward.
54
February 19, 2002
"I would like to start by thanking you again for the help you gave Dryden last year in regards to
having our flood maps redrawn. You may recall that I asked for a resolution from you supporting our
request for overflights. Your support was I am sure instrumental in our success in getting the remapping
accomplished. The new map shows that we were correct in our assumption that the Forest Home Mobile
Home Park is not in the flood plain. This information has made it possible to go forward with an attempt
at a rather ambitious program to improve the neighborhood. This program continues to rely on your
support in addition to that of state and federal agencies; we are also utilizing many resources from the
private sector.
"I hope we can continue advancing our record of cooperation as we work on the Aquifer Studies;
I am sure we are all in agreement that clean water is this County's most valuable natural resource. The
mixing of ground and surface water makes it imperative that we protect both. The Town of Dryden has
$30,000 in its 2002 budget for the studies; some of the other towns are also committed to seeing this
project come to fruition. If we are to guarantee a level of participation by the U.S. Geological survey in
future years, a program must be started. I personally think that it would be valuable to lock in a funding
commitment this year. Clearly the County will not be able to commit a significant amount of money this
year, but I hope we can count on your participation in some manner.
"There are ways the County can be involved without expending much money. For instance, I
understand that the State requires a report to be filed whenever a new well is dug or drilled. This is I
believe a new law that has not been well utilized because the State is obviously preoccupied with other
issues. These reports contain much information that would expand our knowledge of the local aquifers.
The Dryden Conservation Advisory Council sent a letter to the Water Resources Council suggesting that
the County begin to accumulate groundwater data by requiring well data to be filed with the County. The
County could require a copy of that report be filed with the County Health Department. This would place
a minimal burden on our citizens, cost the County almost nothing, and would eventually develop into a
very useful source of information.
"I would also like to tell you that there is interest in getting improved bus service on Ellis Hollow
Road and Snyder Hill Road. Dryden will work with the Tompkins County Transportation Council to
investigate the level of desire. There has been some talk about setting up a special benefit district to help
subsidize the service if that is necessary. Many of you know how difficult that would be. The ridership
necessary to support the busses will probably be there if the support needed for the formation of a district
is there; however, it is an interesting concept and I would at least like to explore the possibility.
"Many people don't realize that we are working more closely now than in the past. I don't mean
just the policy makers but probably even more importantly it is happening more often automatically at the
department level. The result is improved efficiency. Now more than ever we owe it to our residents to
maximize the value of their tax dollar. I know that you share my concern in that regard.
"Thank you again for your time and willingness to listen".
Edward Marx, Planning Commissioner, introduced Heather McDaniel who was recently hired as
a Planner. He said she is already involved in a number of projects, including economic development and
housing.

Report from the Budget and Capital Committee
Mr. Penniman, Chairman, reported the Committee met last week and discussed a number of
resolutions on the agenda. There was also discussion about a payment situation with TCAT where there
is some money currently going from the County to the City via TCAT. The discussion was about making
that payment directly from the County to the City; however, before that could be done there needs to be
further discussion. Mr. Penniman said the Committee began discussing early budget projections for 2003,
which appears to be another difficult budget year. The Committee will begin reviewing capital projects at
upcoming meetings.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Public Safety Committee
Mrs. Schuler, Chair, reported the Committee met on February 7 and approved resolutions that
appear on the agenda for this meeting. She said she was not present at that meeting and deferred her
report to Ms. Blanchard.
Ms. Blanchard said the Committee discussed the PINS 18 Departmental Plan and the
interdepartmental response to questions that were asked by the State. She stated this new legislation has
the potential of costing the County a lot of money.

Announcement
Mr. Lane announced the Public Officials Conference sponsored by the Tompkins County
Emergency Management Committee and New York State Emergency Management Office has been
changed to April 4, 2002 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Holiday Inn. This is the meeting for all village,
town, City, and County legislative officials to learn more about the roles and responsibilities of local
officials as partners with the state and federal governments in emergency management and preparedness.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Health and Human Services Committee
Mr. Winch, Chairman, reported the Committee met on February 12. At that meeting a request to
fill a position through the soft hiring freeze was approved for the Office for the Aging. He said the
Committee also received a summary and evaluation of the Foodnet Meal Plan and will discuss it at the
next meeting. Mr. Winch said in an effort to better educate the Committee, they will be holding monthly
presentations by departments and agencies about programs and areas of special concern. At the meeting
on February 12 Shelia Chase and Judy Voorheis of the Foster and Adoptive Parent Recruitment Training
and Support Program provided the Committee with a presentation on the functions of that program. Mr.
Winch also announced the Friends of the Library have donated funds to be used towards the purchase of a
lending library for the adults of that program and a grant was received to provide literature to the children
in that program. Margaret Dill, Executive Director of the Human Services Coalition, was also in
attendance, and reported to the Committee on the work plan for human services planning and Information
and Referral Services.
RESOLUTION NO. 20 - APPROVAL OF PINS 18, INTERDEPARTMENTAL, "PLAN" -
DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES, PROBATION, AND
YOUTH BUREAU
MOVED by Mr. Winch, seconded by Ms. Blanchard. Mr. Booth said he voted against this at the
Committee level because he does not feel it constitutes a plan. Mr. Wood said when the New York State
Legislature changed the date this would become effective they added to the Law that counties would
prepare a plan. He said this is the plan the County has prepared in accordance with that law. Mr. Winch
stated the cost of this new legislation is not known at this time. Mr. Whicher said the State is asking for
a plan; however, is not stating where the money is going to come from. He questioned whether it would
61
February 19, 2002
be wise to provide the State with a detailed plan if there are no funds. He said the document referred to in
the resolution provides a description of what Tompkins County will do; however, does not provide details
because without funds it is not known how it will be implemented. A voice vote resulted as follows:
Ayes — 9 (Representatives Blanchard, Herrera, Kiefer, Lane, McBean, Schuler, Todd Totman, and
Winch); Noes — 3 (Representatives Booth, Penniman, and Proto); Excused — 3 (Representatives Joseph,
Koplinka-Loehr, and Robertson). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, a letter, dated November 14, 2001 was received by the Chair of the Tompkins
county Board of Representatives from the Director of the Office of Strategic Planning and Policy
Development of the New York State Office of Children & Family Services (OCFS), and
WHEREAS, this letter requested that a "Plan" be submitted that outlines how the County is
preparing for and how it will implement the new PINS 18 jurisdiction legislation, and
WHEREAS, a multi -agency group was convened to "project the impact of the legislation and to
identify services needed," and
WHEREAS, representatives from the Department of Social Services, the Probation Department,
and the Youth Bureau have documented and prepared a "Plan" for the PINS 18 legislation now therefore
be it
RESOLVED, on recommendations of the Health and Human Services and Public Safety
Committees, That the Interdepartmental PINS 18 "PLAN" is approved for submission to the New york
State Office of Children & Family Services.
SEQR ACTION: TYPE II -20
Report from the Information Technology Services Policy Committee
Mr. Winch, Chairman, had no report.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Public Works Committee
Ms. Blanchard, Chair, said at the February 7 Committee meeting Pete Messmer, Highway
Manger, reported based on the New York State Highway Superintendents Association meeting he
recently attended in Albany, that the CHIPS operation and maintenance funds in 2001 will also not be
funded in 2002. Additionally, the CHIPS capital funds, which total $1.0 million for Tompkins County,
are in jeopardy in the State budget. The advice delivered to the County highway superintendents was not
to spend the anticipated funding until the budget is approved to see if the funds are available. Mr.
Messmer reminded the Committee that this million dollars is equal to the amount of the highway
materials budget. He stated that he needs to be advancing his summer work program, now, and that in
order to keep the highway program on track, he cannot wait until the State budget is settled to proceed.
Steve Whicher stated that he has been in contact with NYSAC about this same issue. This year, the
added circumstances created by the events of September 11, 2001 and impacts from the proposed federal
budget, makes the situation even more uncertain than usual.
Ms. Blanchard stated Mr. Messmer was directed to prepare month -to month report on activities
and expenditures to keep us appraised of the highway program status and risk to the County for 2002. He
could use funds available in another part of the highway budget (approximately $200,000) now, to begin
to stockpile needed materials, etc. A presentation will also be made to the Budget and Capital Committee
on this topic.
Ms. Blanchard reported on the Air Service Task Force, and stated that the Consultants, Nammack
Associates and Back Associates had addressed the Task Force at its last meeting. She said the charge was
to prepare a service presentation to United Airlines in good draft form but it was suggested to wait until
after the first quarter of 2002, and then re-examine pursuing other airlines. There was discussion of
providing services to Washington, D.C. with more fuel-efficient planes, and because Washington is a
United Airlines hub, would increase access to the western U.S. It was suggested by the consultant that
62
February 19, 2002
the County keep its presentation to United polished, in order that it can be made when the time is right to
do so.
Robert Nicholas, Airport Manger, reported to the Task Force he has applied for funds from the
AIR 21 program. He has received support for this from State Representatives Hinchey and Schumer. If
accepted there would be funds available up to $500,000 for three years. Ms. Blanchard reported that Mr.
Nicholas would like to use the funds to lower fares to increase enmplanements and do additional
marketing.
Mr. Nicholas also reported to the Task Force that in 1995, the Airport entered into a contract with
SmartCarte for ten carts at the Airport. Since SmartCarte has requested to raise the price of the carts to
$3, Bob has decided instead to purchase the ten carts with convenient placement in the terminal for free
use by the Airport users.
Ms. Blanchard also provided the Board with an update on recycling revenues. She said there is
an expected surplus of recycling revenue of $85,961. Ms. Eckstrom also told the Committee that she
anticipates about $45,000 surplus revenues from disposal. All of the 2001 year-end receipts will be in by
the end of February, when final reports can be prepared. The Committee also was updated on the
ENRON scandal, and was told it had some relevance to Tompkins County since there was a hedge price
for cardboard with Waste Management through ENRON which totaled about $10,000. She said this will
have little or no impact because of Broome County revenues of $2,500-$3,000 per month, season market
fluctuations, and conservative disposal revenues. Ms. Eckstrom was asked to prepare monthly reports on
the revenue for the Committee, including a breakdown by commodity.
RESOLUTION NO. 21- CHANGE IN POSITIONS - PUBLIC WORKS
MOVED by Ms. Blanchard, seconded by Mr. Todd, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by
members present.
WHEREAS, it was agreed that the one Cleaner position in the Highway Division would be
transferred to the Facilities Division when the new Bostwick Road facility was complete, now therefore
be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Public Works and Budget and Capital Committees, That
one position of Cleaner, labor grade D (8-401), 40 hours per week, be abolished effective February 11,
2002, in the Highway Division,
RESOLVED, further, That one position of Cleaner, labor grade D (8-401), 35 hours per week, be
created effective February 11, 2002, in the Facilities Division,
RESOLVED, further, That the Finance Director be directed to make the following adjustments to
his books:
From: DM5130.51000 Salary $17,335

RESOLVED, further, That the Fiscal Target for the Highway Division be reduced by $31,182
and the Fiscal Target for the Facilities Division be increased by $28,049.

RESOLUTION NO. 22 - AUTHORIZATION TO CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING —
PROPOSED ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY FOR THE WIDENING
AND RECONSTRUCTION OF NORTH TRIPHAMMER ROAD
63
February 19, 2002
MOVED by Ms. Blanchard, seconded by Mr. Winch, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by
members present. According to Mr. Wood, this resolution is being passed again because of public notice
time requirements. Mr. Booth asked if the County acquires an easement and that land is contaminated,
does the County also acquire liability. Ms. Blanchard said Mr. Wood has looked into this.
WHEREAS, funding for the North Triphammer Road improvement is in jeopardy unless the
project can be moved forward in an expeditious manner, and
WHEREAS, negotiations for approximately ten of the parcels needed to complete acquisition of
the right-of-way for the project have not yet been completed, and
WHEREAS, the County intends to pursue all means to complete these negotiations in a timely
manner without necessitating legal measures but must provide for the contingency that the properties in
question may need to be acquired via eminent domain procedures as a last resort, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Public Works Committee, That the Board of
Representatives conduct a public hearing pursuant to Section 201 of the Eminent Domain Procedure Law
at the Tompkins County Courthouse on the 19th day of March, 2002, at 5:30 o'clock m the evening
thereof,
RESOLVED, further, That the purpose of said hearing is to inform the public and to review the
public use to be served by the widening of North Triphammer Road in the Town of Lansing and the
impact on the environment and residents of the locality where said project will be constructed,
RESOLVED, further, That pursuant to Section 202 of the Eminent Domain Procedure Law, the
Clerk of the Board shall cause to be published at least ten days and not more than 30 days prior to said
hearing a notice of same in at least five consecutive issues of the Ithaca Journal.
SEQR ACTION: TYPE II -20
Report from the Planning Committee
Ms. Kiefer, Chair, reported the Committee has not met since the last Board meeting. The next
meeting will be February 21 at 2 p.m. She said the Environmental Management Council had invited all
Board members to attend their meeting this month at which there was a speaker from NYPIRG on the
Pesticide Neighbor Notification Law. She said the presentation was informative and hopes the EMC will
come forward with a recommendation on whether the County should opt in or not.
Mr. Proto said yesterday it was reported that Senator Schumer was at Cooperative Extension to
discuss agriculture policy and the impact of federal legislation on the local farmers. Ms. Kiefer said this
issue would fall under the auspices of the Planning Committee; however, she did not know anything
about the visit from Senator Schumer. There was no information on this available from any Board
member.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Government Operations Committee
Mr. Booth, Vice Chairman, reported the Committee met on February 12 and discussed a possible
Charter change that would put the lawyers in the Department of Social Services under the direction of the
County Attorney's office. He said there was a split vote by the Committee and the proposal subsequently
was defeated. Mr. Booth said there was also discussion with the Assessment Department about the
possibility of taking part in a program under the State Real Property Tax Law to provide certain tax
exemptions to first-time homeowners of newly constructed homes. There was a series of questions about
how that program would work and whom it would target. Following discussion, the Committee did not
support moving that proposal forward. The Committee also provided the County Administrator input on
the form that is being used in the soft -hiring review. Mr. Booth said the Committee discussed many
other items on the agenda, including the resolutions that follow.
Mr. Proto said the Board had a resolution asking for consideration of a property tax exemption
from Gold Star Parents at one time. He recalled this was deferred back to the Committee, and asked for
64
February 19, 2002
the status of this. Mr. Whicher said he believes this lost in Committee; however, he will look into it
further.
RESOLUTION NO. 23 - AUTHORIZATION FOR CONTINGENT FUND APPROPRIATION

MOVED by Mr. Booth, seconded by Mr. Totman. A short roll call vote resulted as follows:
Ayes — 12, Noes — 0, Excused - 3 (Representatives Joseph, Koplinka-Loehr, and Robertson).

RESOLUTION NO. 31 - DESIGNATION OF INDIVIDUAL TO BE HONORED ON THE
WALL OF INSPIRATION — SCIENCENTER EXPANSION PROJECT
MOVED by Ms. Herrera, seconded by Ms. Blanchard. Ms. Kiefer said she voted against adding
this to the agenda because she does not feel it is ready for Board action. She referred to the third Whereas
which states the individual should have a tie to the Tompkins County area and said she feels the full
Board should have agreed on this. She said because this involves someone in the science area, she would
feel more comfortable if the Board had used the scientific expertise available in the community to
generate a list of people that could be considered. She said this resolution lacks an explanation of how
this candidate meets any of the criteria and feels language should be added that explains who this is and
how the criteria were met. Mr. Proto agreed with Ms. Kiefer's comments and said he had intended to ask
Ms. Skinner if she could put together a biography on the individual and distribute it to Board members
and the media. He said it may even be helpful to distribute it to the schools. Mr. Booth asked if it would
be possible if that biography be attached to the resolution. Ms. Kiefer clarified that she does not object
to the individual, only the process that was followed.
A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes — 11; Noes — 1 (Representative Kiefer); Excused — 3
(Representatives Joseph, Koplinka-Loehr, and Robertson). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.

Mae Jemison (1956 - )
Medical doctor, engineer, astronaut — Mae Jemison's skills and expertise reflect a determined
individual whose contributions to the nation and the world make a difference.
Jemison, determined from childhood to explore space, became the first African-American woman
in space when she traveled on the Endeavor on September 12, 1992. Earlier, Jemison spent several years
as a Peace Corps physician in West Africa and opened a private practice in Los Angeles. After her space
flight, Jemison took a leave from NASA to lecture and teach at Dartmouth College, focusing on space-age
technology and developing nations. She says that space "is the birthright of everyone who is on this
planet. We need to get every group of people in the world involved because it is something that
eventually we in the world community are going to have to share."
Jemison heads her own firm in Houston, and travels throughout the world. Jemison encourages
women and minorities to enter scientific fields: "I want to make sure we all use our talent, not just 25
percent." In 1999 Jemison accepted appointment as the President's Council of Cornell Women Andrew

Privilege of the Floor by the Public
Fay Gougakis, City of Ithaca resident, spoke about the issue of jet skis on Cayuga Lake. She said
there wasn't any action taken in regard to the concern she previously expressed to the Board and said it
will soon be summer and the time when jet skis are used. She said for the last couple of years when she
has visited the park, jet skis have not only made her afraid to swim, but have disrupted the park and
polluted the air and water. She said she is putting statistics together from around the State which will
include legislation that will address her concerns. She stated when she has this material gathered she will
then present it to the Board.
Mark Laurensen, Ithaca Road, said he is an architect who specializes in energy consumption and
buildings. He commended the County for commissioning the Tompkins County Greenhouse Gas
Emissions Inventory. Mr. Laurensen said it is important to know there are significant State funds
available to help mitigate the waste of energy in buildings. He has spoken with Arel LeMaro (Tompkins
County Facilities Director) and learned that the County's utilities bill is $1.9 million. He stated
NYSERDA (New York State Energy Research Development Authority) has established significant
funding to provide technical services to reduce the use of energy in buildings. There are two architects in
town that go through buildings and figure out how to reduce consumption. Mr. Laurensen said the initial
scope is written to determine what actions might take place, and a thorough report is written on a cost
benefit analysis. He said there are also rebates available for equipment that is retrofitted into buildings.
He said it is important the Board know the opportunities exist and that there are local resources available
who are leaders throughout the country.
Steve Nicholson, Chair of the Education Committee of the EMC and the Town of Caroline
representative for the EMC (Environmental Management Council), said he traveled to Seattle to represent
Tompkins County at the national training workshop for the Cities for Climate Protection. Mr. Nicholson
thanked the Board for allowing him an opportunity to attend this inspiring and very well -attended
conference; there were more than 60 elected officials among the more than 200 attendees. Mr. Nicholson
said Tompkins County has accomplished the first milestone, which was to conduct an emissions
inventory, the County was given an award for its excellent Emissions Inventory report; he presented the
trophy for this to Chair Joseph. Mr. Nicholson said he received a great deal of information and would be
happy to present this to the Planning Committee.
John Dember of the Energy Plus Coop Development Project expressed support for the possible
implementation of an action plan based on Tompkins County Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory. Mr.
Dember said he thinks it is important and appropriate that Tompkins County become part of a movement
like this.

Privilege of the Floor by Board Members
Mr. Penniman, District No. 15 Representative, said it is great to see so much interest in the
Greenhouse Gas Emission Study. He clarified that Tompkins County did send Mr. Nicholson to Seattle;
however, the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives paid a great deal of the cost.
Mr. Penniman also spoke of sales tax in the City and confusion surrounding the elimination of
sales tax. He said he is a vendor and received a notice last week letting him know what the current
situation is.
Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Representative, said at the last meeting the Town of Dryden Supervisor
addressed the Board about the need to study bus service for Ellis Hollow. Mr. Proto reported a
representative from the Dryden Town Board attended the TCAT Board meeting last week. The TCAT
Operations Committee will be reviewing information that was presented and studying the possibility of
extending bus service along that route. Mr. Proto announced bus service will also be extended into
Ludlowville this summer.
Mr. Proto said this Board established funding for the Danby Agriculture, Horticulture, and
Environmental Academy in conjunction with BOCES and the Ithaca City School District. He announced
they were successful in receiving the second $50,000 grant, and the first official course entitled
Agriculture and the Environment is now being put together. It will deal with English, economics, and
participation in government, integrated with advanced topics in agriculture and the environment. It will
be open to seniors and should be open in September.
Ms. McBean, District No. 2 Representative, announced Marcia Fort, a local resident, will be
presented with the Second Annual Harriet Tubman Humanitarian Award this weekend in Albany. She
said Ms. Fort has done wonderful things in this community and is being recognized for her work. She
encouraged Board members to contact Ms. Fort and congratulate her. Ms. McBean referred to a news
article in today's Ithaca Journal and said it is exciting to learn how much influence the neighbors and
Northside residents had in the Department of Environmental Conservation's testing for coal tar. She said
this has been an ongoing problem since 1973. She stated these neighbors are not letting this issue rest
and moving forward with demanding something be done about the situation to have the site cleaned up.
Ms. Robertson, District No. 13 Representative, spoke on behalf of Representative Schuler, who
has laryngitis. She stated on February 14 at the Human Services Coalition Annual Meeting the
Department of Social Services was honored with the Ruth Pettengill Award. Mrs. Schuler also attended
a press conference and awards ceremony on February 15 during National Child Passenger Safety Week.
Several local businesses were awarded certificates for partnering in this initiative; Bill Cooke Dealership,
WHCU, the Ithaca Journal, Ithaca Times, Newscenter 7, and three members of the Sheriff's Department
were honored.
Ms. Robertson said she had an opportunity to attend a Cornell Cooperative Extension program in
Liverpool, New York, on February 11. She has given material on the Becker Forum called "Where the
Field Meets the Road — Communities on the Agricultural Urban Interface" to the Planning Commissioner
and Planning Committee. She said she found it very interesting and heard people from around New
York State talking about issues and challenges where farming communities are up against residential
communities, and how urban and suburban sprawl affects farming. She said she was impressed by how
many people from Tompkins County were presenters at the conference.
Mr. Booth, District No. 3 Representative, thanked Fay Gougakis for bringing the issue of jet skis
forward, and said it will be an issue that we hear more about as time moves forward. Mr. Booth said he is
also very encouraged by the comments about global warming. He said statistics in this State have shown
that older buildings use a very large percentage of our energy and there is a substantial energy savings
that can be realized in existing buildings.
73
March 5, 2002
Ms. Kiefer, District No. 11 Representative, said the issue of jet skis has been raised as a possible
work topic at the Water Resources Council. She said it has not been formally adopted, however, at least
two members of the Water Resources Council have taken it upon themselves to gather information on the
subject. Ms. Kiefer said she believes the law Ms. Gougakis referenced gives authority to towns, cities,
and villages, but not counties. She stated the County is a good place to compile the information and offer
it to the municipalities.
Ms. Kiefer also spoke on behalf of Representative Schuler, referring to the comments made by
Mr. Proto and asked how students would be transported to the Danby School. Mr. Proto responded the
class would not be held at the Danby School. Students will likely be transported to another location via
school bus.
Mr. Lane, District No. 14 Representative, announced he attended the Annual Chili Cook -off held
this past weekend on the Ithaca Commons. He said it is local celebrations such as this that add to the
quality of life in the community.
Report by Town Supervisor
Mr. Donald Barber, Town of Caroline Supervisor, read the following statement:
A thought from the Indian philosopher, Krishnamutri:
"I do not know if you have ever examined how you listen, it doesn't matter to what, whether a
bird, to the wind... to the rushing waters...in a dialogue with yourself...if we try to listen we find it
extraordinarily difficult, because we always are projecting our opinions and ideas, our prejudices, our
background, our inclinations, our impulses: when they dominate we hardly listen to what is being said...
One listens and therefore learns, only in a state of attention, a state of silence, in which the whole
background is in abeyance, is quiet: then it seems to me it is possible to communicate.
"I wanted to take my opportunity to address this board by talking about the process of
communication between governing bodies in Tompkins County and creating opportunities where we can
listen in the manner described by Kristnamutri. It is an understatement that there is room for
improvement. I think that we need to adjust our process of communication because we are often not
really listening because our head is already full of our opinions and prejudices. I plan to make a proposal
to change the communication process that will require work, but I hope you will consider it. Before that,
I want to thank Tim Joseph for working with Cathy Valentino to establish this opportunity for supervisors
and mayors to communicate with the County Board.
"When Cathy spoke before you, she suggested a committee to reestablish a county -wide planning
federation. I want to say for the record that I support this initiative. Last summer a few of us worked on
creating opportunities for communication, but interest waned when elections became the focus of our
attention. I will offer that if there is an interest to develop a "Council of Governments", whose purpose is
to foster communication between individuals and explore immediate and long range issues, then I will
commit to putting my energy into making it work. Like Cathy, I would like to find ways to have the local
and county legislators working together.
"Since we all volunteered for public service, changing the way we communicate is within our
control. I brought these two cans on a string to help demonstrate the basics of communication. In order
to communicate, two people need to cooperate, by pulling equally to make the line tight. Then each has to
alternately concentrate on listening and speaking clearly. Since talking is not a problem for us, how do
we set up situations where we can truly listen in the manner described by Krishnamutri and cooperate
equally in the communication process? I suggest that by starting out together we have the best chance to
have open, clear communication. If we can start on issues together, then no one gets a head start at
drawing lines in the sand or having concrete set up around their feet. What do I mean by starting out
74
March 5, 2002
together? For example, lets say the County's Highway staff wants to upgrade a highway or bridge in
Caroline. When the idea is first introduced to the County Board's Public Works Committee, the
Supervisor and Highway Superintendent of Caroline need to be offered the opportunity to be present at
this first meeting. If the idea being proposed, by staff, causes concern by any elected official, everyone
hears it at the same time. Since no elected official has a preconceived idea (prejudice) about how the
project should be carried out or its merits, then everyone has a better chance of listening and by pulling
equally on the string. In that format, we can work together for a compromise that mitigates those
concerns.
"The change in process that I am proposing is that: it become policy for County staff to invite the
appropriate municipal officials to all meetings on topics that could affect them. This little step is the
"work" I was talking about, and would go a long way to improving communication. I suspect that some
may feel that inviting some municipal officials to possibly every County Committee would slow down the
progress of County Government. While this could happen, I have worked with both County and
municipal officers over the years and all of us want what is best for our constituents. Turf battles usually
rise when someone feels that they have not been heard. My sense is that an issue causing concern that
slows down the process at the early stage would have developed into a major problem anyway. By
working together at the initial stage, municipal officials may have ideas on ways to make the project go
smoother. Can we ever err by communicating too much? I hope you will give this idea serious
consideration. I look forward to addressing you again in this constructive forum about specific issues of
importance to my constituents in Caroline and rural Tompkins County. Thank you."
There was a brief discussion about notifying municipalities about Board and committee agendas
when there may be items of interest to them. It was stated that all County government meetings are open
to the public and agendas are available to anyone. Mr. Joseph summarized the discussion and said what
he hears being asked is that information not just be made available, but that there be a special effort made
by County staff, committee chairs, and administration, to notice when an item is coming up that would be
of interest to a municipality and to notify them. He said this is a reasonable request and hopes people
will make an effort to do that. Mr. Proto asked that municipalities try to do the same thing for the
County.

Franklin has informed him that the Assessment Department has been very successful in following up on
people who had not done this and feel they have been able reach almost all of these individuals.
Mr. Whicher also reported on the new Electronic Data Management System in the County Clerk's
Office and said it is 90 percent complete and fully operational. He said this is a State-of-the-art system
and a good model for what is going to happen throughout the County and encouraged Board members to
visit the County Clerk's Office and tour the system. He thanked Representative Proto and the State
Archives and Records Administration for obtaining funds for this project.

Mr. Wood reported on three recent news articles. In regard to sales tax, Mr. Wood stated the
County properly filed the local law with the State and received written approval for the removal of sales
tax on clothing and footwear and this has gone into effect. Mr. Wood said there were also news articles
written about two litigation cases. He believes the case of Tracy vs. Freshwater will not be upheld in
court. The other involves a personnel matter at the Public Safety Building in which he feels the
complainant has no legal claim against the County, despite what has been reported in the press.

Manager of Midstate, will be in attendance to discuss the current condition and status of the
communications system.
Report from the Health and Human Services Committee
Mr. Winch, Chairman, reported the Committee has not met since the last Board meeting. He said
he has had several opportunities to meet with various agencies and departments to discuss the upcoming
budget.
Representative Totman was excused at 7:03 p.m.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Budget and Capital Committee
Mr. Penniman, Chairman, reported the Committee met last week and spent a great deal of time
discussing mandated programs in the County budget. They heard reports from the Department of Social
Services about mandates and programs that are driving up costs in that Department. There was also
discussion about the financial impact on the new PINS (Persons In Need of Supervision) legislation that
will go into effect on July 1, 2002. He stated it is too early to predict what the budget implications of that
new legislation will be. Mr. Penniman reported the Committee spent time looking at the 2003 budget
and will be continuing discussion of one-time programs, mandated programs, and capital programs at the
next meeting on March 12 at 2 p.m.
RESOLUTION NO. 35 - APPROPRIATION FROM CONTINGENT FUND AND BUDGET
ADJUSTMENT — AIDS WORK — COMMUNITY HEALTH
SERVICES — HEALTH DEPARTMENT
MOVED by Mr. Penniman, seconded by Mr. Proto.
Mr. Winch said he cannot support this resolution. He views this as a moral issue about
exchanging needles amongst members of the community and cannot support it. Ms. Robertson spoke as a
past board member of AIDS Work for Tompkins County whose work focuses on harm reduction. She
82
March 5, 2002
said she understands it is not an easy thing to support, however, this needle exchange program is about
making intravenous drug use do less harm than it already does. She said intravenous drug use is now the
leading cause of new HIV infections and this program will not only provide people with clean needles,
but will introduce them to the service delivery system. She stated AIDS Work has been working for a
long time and finally got permission from the state to enable them to do this. She urged support for this
and said she feels it is an extremely worthwhile program.
Mr. Proto spoke in support of this program and said as uncomfortable as it may seem, it is not a
promotion for drug use. In order to get the attention of those who are involved there needs to be an effort
made to educate them. He said it is unusual for him to support this type of concept; however he feels an
effort needs to be made to reach out to these individuals and show the County is trying to address a
community -wide problem. He noted that support for this program is not support for drug use.
A roll call vote resulted as follows: Ayes — 12, Noes - 2 (Representatives Winch and Todd);
Excused - 1 (Representative Totman). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, AIDS Work, Inc., of Tompkins County has applied to the New York State
Department of Health and has received approval to operate a syringe exchange program, and
WHEREAS, this program is consistent with the harm reduction activities as set forth in AIDS
Work's agreement with the Health Department, and
WHEREAS, $6,500 was set aside in the 2001 Contingent Fund but not appropriated to assist with
the implementation of the program, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Health and Human Services and Budget and Capital
Committees, That the Director of Finance is hereby authorized and directed to make the following budget

Report and Presentation of Resolution (s) from the Public Works Committee
Ms. Blanchard, Chair, reported the Committee met on February 21 and discussed many items.
The Committee approved filling the position of Airport Technician/Firefighter Trainee. Capital projects
were discussed, including the general aviation ramp expansion. That project is moving forward; however,
some contaminated soil was found in the area. The engineers are designing a cell to remediate that soil
and treat it on-site. Ms. Blanchard said the jet passenger boarding bridge will be replaced with one that
will be able to accommodate a wider variety of aircraft. The runway lighting rehabilitation is also
complete.
Ms. Blanchard reported the Highway Division presented a monthly expenditure plan and a
CHIPS funding update. With the uncertainty of the funding, the Committee will be getting an update
from the Highway Division every month. At this time there is enough funding in other budget lines to
continue doing work until June 1st at which time they hope to have more information on the status of that
funding. Ms. Blanchard said there has been some juggling of federally aided road and bridge projects to
reflect more realistic time schedules and a memorandum has been prepared for County representatives
and municipalities that describes all of those changes and whose jurisdictions may be affected.

Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Planning Committee
Ms. Kiefer, Chair, reported the Committee met on February 21 and had an extensive agenda. She
said among other parts of the EMC report presented at that meeting, it was interesting to learn that five
members of the EMC were part of the environmental review of the airport obstruction clearance project
that was just passed. Ms. Kiefer reported Susan Brock, EMC Chair, went to Owego to make a
presentation on what our EMC does because Tioga County is considering establishing an EMC. Ms.
Kiefer said one resolution on this evening's agenda in regard to seismic testing received a fair amount of
discussion at the meeting.
Ms. Kiefer said there seems to be a difference in opinion amongst County staff, EMC, and
Committee members whether there should be County land leased for oil and gas drilling and whether
there should be surface or subsurface activity allowed. Discussion on this will continue at the next
meeting. She said a major portion of the meeting was devoted to the County's Waterfront Revitalization
Plan update. The final draft was presented to the Committee and it will also be presented to
municipalities on March 16 at 10 a.m. at the Women's Community Building. If the six involved
municipalities, the County, and the involved State agencies all agree and if the municipalities adopt the
plan, it will go on to the State and will become part of State policy. This will mean that projects that the
State does will need to be consistent with the Plan and we will be eligible for grants. She said County
Board members are encouraged to review the plan. There are a couple of proposed projects contained in
the plan that the County will be responsible for in some manner, including the Department of
Transportation site and open space planning in the County. Ms. Kiefer announced comments on the plan
are due by March 20.
Ms. Kiefer said Madison Wright who is the County's representative on the Resource,
Conservation, and Development Board, provided the Committee with a report on the kind of work that
Board does. There was also a presentation from the Soil and Water Conservation District Manager.
Mr. Lane asked about the Aquifer Study and how this capital project will be moved forward. Ms.
Kiefer said they are working to develop the best possible timeline. The next step is to meet with the
USGS to try to get a more detailed sense of what options the USGS could provide Tompkins County.
She said the County needs to get a more detailed sense of what options USGS could provide and what
level of detail the County can afford. She said she does not want to lose sight of the fact that the Towns
of Dryden and Caroline want to move forward with USGS but she does not think it would be responsible
for the County to try to develop a formula that could be applied on a County -wide basis without more
specific information.
Mr. Winch said he hopes there will be an overall master plan for the work that needs to be done
by the Water Resources Council. He said he does not have a problem with municipalities wanting to join
85
March 5, 2002
forces with the County to get work done, however, it needs to be in the County's overall master plan and
done systematically.

Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, Chairman, reported the Committee has not met since the last Board
meeting. The next meeting will be March 1261 at 11:30 a.m.
Report from the Economic and Workforce Development Committee
Mr. Lane, Chairman, reported the Committee has not met since the last Board meeting.
However, a subcommittee has been working with the Committee and the City of Ithaca on ground rules
for the proposed Joint Task Force on some of the ideas and resolutions that have been proposed by the
Common Good Coalition.
Information Technology Services Policy Committee
Mr. Winch, Chairman, reported the Committee met on February 20 and reviewed with Greg
Potter, Director of Information Technology Services, information that came from last year's Information
Management Committee. He said they had been working on service -level agreement that will be used
for documenting policies, procedures and guidelines. There was also discussion of long-range planning,
including capital projects. Mr. Winch said the Information Technology Services Department needs to be
involved in the review of capital projects because frequently there are computer networks that need to be
installed as a result of those projects. He stated another goal for the coming year is the development and
implementation of a long-range network upgrade. Mr. Potter has also expressed a desire to have a
personnel program for training and recognition for employees of that department.
Report from the Charter Review Committee
Mr. Lane, Chairman, reported the Committee met on February 271 and spent time talking with
the Commissioner of Social Services and the County Attorney about the issue of placing the attorneys in
the Social Services Department in the County Attorney's Department. He said for some time the question
has been out there about whether they should report directly to the County Attorney. Presently, the
Commissioner of Social Services appoints and supervises the Social Services attorneys. The Government
Operations, by a split vote, recommended that the system should be maintained as it is. Mr. Lane said
the Charter Review Committee also had a split vote and did not take action to change the current
structure. Mr. Lane said the Committee also discussed the section of the Charter that relates to the Board
of Elections. At the next meeting on March 13 the Committee will discuss the District Attorney and the
County Clerk's Department.

Report from the Communications Capital Projects Committee
Ms. Blanchard, Chair, reported the Committee met on February 26. She said at that meeting she
provided a communications center update, along with the County Administrator and County Attorney. It
was reported that a very successful meeting was held with both the Town and City of Ithaca to work out
legal agreements on the construction of the consolidated center on South Hill. A meeting with Ithaca
College will take place on March 14t. Joseph Lalley reported to the Committee that the paging project is
likely to have a design ready at the next meeting. She reported on the communications upgrade project
and said that the final comment period for the draft RFP closed the first part of February. Those
comments are being reviewed and she expects the RFP to be released in early April. Ms. Blanchard said
the Committee that existed prior to this year that addressed financing of the radios needs to be
reconvened. Mr. Joseph said he will meet with her to discuss this. She reported the State has given
mixed messages on the status of the Statewide network project. Previously the County had been told
there was $6.5 million in the Governor's budget to design the statewide network but it was uncertain
whether that would survive the State's budget crisis. She said with the exception of Erie County and
some of the areas in the Albany capital district area there is not a unified county position across the State
in support of the Statewide network. She will keep the Board informed as information becomes available.
The next meeting will be March 26`h.
Report from the Space Needs and Location Committee
Mr. Lane reported the Committee had a very important meeting and received valuable
information from County staff. He commended Deputy County Administrator, Kathy Smithers, on the
work she has performed for the Committee and Mikel Shakarjian who worked with Arel LeMaro
developing spreadsheets. Mr. Lane said the Committee spent a great deal of time reviewing spreadsheets
and discussed what kind of savings the County could realize if it were to consolidate some of the space
that is currently rented in other locations, into a central location. He said that information is preliminary
and is not ready to be presented to the full Board. Mr. Lane also commended David Squires, Finance
Director, and Jonathon Wood, County Attorney, for the valuable information they have provided to the
Committee.

Present: 15 Representatives.
Privilege of the Floor by the Public
Robert Romanowski, City of Ithaca resident and representative of the Ithaca Board of Fire
Commissioners, spoke concerning the County's communications system. Mr. Romanowski read the
following statement which has been endorsed by the Ithaca Board of Fire Commissioners:
"The horrific events of the past six months have dramatically illustrated the importance of
emergency service providers and the dangers they face in fulfilling their duties. On a smaller scale these
dangers are faced locally, and all too frequently, death and/or serious injury occurs. For those facing this
reality every day, the provision of modern, up-to-date training and equipment will go a long way in
minimizing these inherent risks. Having the best personal protection equipment is only part of the
solution. Without the ability to community with superiors, colleagues, and other emergency agencies, the
ability to provide life-saving action could be critically compromised. Tompkins County is now facing
this situation. The system now in used is increasingly unreliable, large voids in area coverage exist,
equipment is long -past its useful life, with repair parts no longer available, and frequencies being lost to
federal government decisions.
"These facts are well known to all you members of the Tompkins County Board. You have
representatives on this Board who have dedicated an extraordinary amount of time and energy to solve
these problems. They have met countless times with all effected agencies, soliciting information and
concerns, and are yet seemingly stymied by the personal agendas of localities and special interest groups.
Equally difficult for Board members is confronting the associated cost for the project as far-reaching as
this, especially when budget pressures are ever increasing. What is the alternative though? What kind of
risks are you willing to allow to exist - loss of property, increase personal suffering and injury, maybe
deaths because fire, medical, and police agencies cannot respond or coordinate their actions?
"We, the members of the Ithaca Board of Fire Commissioners, representing both the City and the
Town of Ithaca, hereby urge the members of the Tompkins County Board of Representatives, to act with
all deliberate haste in implementing a far-reaching modern communications system where all emergency
agencies will be served and not only have the ability to communicate with each other but with the other
agencies as well. Having a system serving only the requirements of individual departments and agencies
seems to be counterproductive. We, in addition, urge the local communities to come together, and
recognize that the well-being of the people should be the overriding principle in decision-making and that
yielding to parochial interest is not in the public interest."
Fay Gougakis, City of Ithaca, spoke concerning the issue of jet skis. Ms. Gougakis stated that she
has provided the Clerk of the Board with copies of the legislation she spoke of at the last meeting, and
89
March 19, 2002
said she is trying to collect some statistics and information from other areas that are using this legislation.
Ms. Gougakis also reported on a meeting that was held on March 16th concerning the Cayuga Lake
Waterfront Plan, and noted no representative from the City or County was in attendance. She said the
issue of jet skis was raised at that meeting by a number of people and dominated the major portion of the
meeting.
Presentation of Recognition Award to the Town of Dryden
Chair Joseph presented the 2002 Farm Friendly Town Recognition Award to Representative Lane
on behalf of the Tompkins County Agriculture and Farmland Protection Board. This award recognizes
the Town of Dryden for its efforts to support and enhance agriculture within its border.
Privilege of the Floor by Board Members
Ms. Kiefer, District No. 11 Representative, responded to the comments made by Ms. Gougakis
under privilege of the floor. She said the Planning Committee had its own presentation on the Cayuga
Lake Waterfront Revitalization Plan, which is probably why members of the County's Planning
Committee did not attend the meeting she spoke of. Ms. Kiefer also spoke of the jet ski issue, and said
the Water Resources Council has a small committee working on this issue and they were directed to come
to the Water Resources Council meeting next month with a recommendation of actions the County might
take.
Mr. Winch, District No. 8 Representative, stated he is the Board's representative to the Cayuga
Lake Watershed Intermunicipal Organization (IO), and he spent this morning at Wells College attending a
water monitoring and Cayuga Lake Watershed Conference. That Conference was sponsored by the
Cornell Center for the Environment. He said the IO and Cayuga Lake Watershed Network have been
working on Restoration, Protection Plan, and gathering information on the needs. He said the conference
was broken up into the following areas of concern: general data gaps that need to be filled, groundwater
and what has been done with groundwater monitoring, surface water monitoring, and citizens' monitoring
of the watershed. Mr. Winch said there were over 50 people in attendance and a great deal of information
was exchanged.
Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Representative, updated the Board on the Water Resources Council and
confirmed the statement made by Representative Kiefer that a special subcommittee is looking into the
issue of jet skis. Mr. Proto said he is on the advisory board for the Johnson Art Museum and they now
have a Mona Display. He said this year marks the 200th anniversary of the signing of the New York State
Constitution, and a copy of it will be on display in Poughkeepsie in April.
Ms. Herrera, District No. 5 Representative, provided the Board with the following report:
"The City of Ithaca Natural Areas Commission sponsored the Ithaca Falls Site Tour and
Community Design Session on Saturday and Sunday, March 9 and 10 to create a plan for the Ithaca Falls
Natural Area. I was unable to attend due to a previous commitment, but by all accounts it was well
attended and provided some great ideas for the area. The Saturday site tour of the Falls began at the Lake
Street Bridge. It included a history of the falls and its use as a source of power for various mills, site
maps, and a walking tour. The design session on Sunday allowed people to bring up and discuss ideas
and concerns. The area has been identified as having lead contamination. Plans for lead remediation, and
the impacts of the cleanup, which is due to begin this summer, and may take up to a year, were discussed.
Many of the participants expressed the idea that the falls is essentially a wild area, subject to seasonal
variations in water and vegetation level, and that it should remain a natural area, with minimal signage
and parking. Its continued use as a small neighborhood park and fishing area, as well as a local landmark,
is very important to residents. Thanks to Nancy Ostman, of the City of Ithaca Natural Areas
Commission, Kathryn Gleason of the Cornell University Department of Landscape Architecture, the
Tompkins County Museum, the vendors who donated supplies, and others who helped with this event.

"In Economic and Workforce Development related events, the Tompkins -Cortland Community
College extension center held the graduation of its first class of Heating, Ventilation, and Air
Conditioning (HVAC) students on March 1st. The majority of the 14 students were unemployed or in
very low wage occupations, and were looking for a new and lasting career opportunity to provide a decent
living for them and their families. Some of the trainees' current employers sponsored the cost of the
training, and the majority were paid for by Workforce New York, which got a grant last year to train
unemployed or low-wage workers (200% of poverty level) in demand occupations. In addition to
training, Workforce New York provided a variety of supports to help the trainees succeed in their training
and job search, including a math refresher course, resume development, and interviewing skills.
Workforce New York is also working directly with employers seeking quality trained workers, helping to
set up job interviews. I would like to extend congratulations to the 14 graduates, and wish them the best
of luck. Thank you, Tompkins County Workforce Development Board, which obtained the funds to
support this and similar training programs, and all the staff of the Workforce New York partnership, that
collaborated to recruit and support the efforts of the participants in this innovative program. A thank you
is also extended to all the staff of the Workforce New York partnership, that collaborated to recruit and
support the efforts of the participants in this innovative program. For more information about the next
class or about other Workforce New York Programs, call 272-7570."
Mrs. Schuler, District No. 4 Representative, reported last week she, Chair Joseph, Sheriff Meskill,
John Beach, STOP -DWI Coordinator, and Aurora Valenti, County Clerk, received a check for $159,817
from Governor Pataki's Traffic Safety Committee. This money has gone to various agencies in the
County for different initiatives, from equipment to work towards traffic safety.
Mr. Lane, District No. 14 Representative, announced today is Election Day in villages in
Tompkins County, and urged everyone to vote.
Report by Town Supervisor or Village Mayor
Douglas Austic, Town of Ulysses Supervisor, thanked the Board on behalf of the Intermunicipal
Officials Association, for allowing an opportunity to explain issues that are of concern to the town
supervisors and village mayors of Tompkins County. Mr. Austic gave the Board the following report:
"The Town of Ulysses would be interested in considering working with the Tompkins County
Highway Department on some of the small road repair projects that are in the Town because they are
more aware of "potholes" because they know the people that are traveling those roads daily. If there were
some interest in allowing the towns to do some of these jobs, it may alleviate some of the costs the
County would have and make the County highways more passable in various towns.
"Secondly, Don Barber raised the issue of cooperation. I feel fairly confident that we could
resolve the problem that came up before other than going through legal action; however, I don't
understand why it didn't happen. I think what we need to do is to open up the lines of communication so
that we can solve some of the problems before they become a problem. I think the issue, basically the
siting of towers, was brought up in the Fall, was probably overstated, and got carried away before we
could basically solve the problem. I think an important issue was brought up by the Fire Commissioners,
and I don't think any town is actually against this idea. It's just that the towns felt that a siting of a tower
in their town should be required to go through zoning procedures even though the County has the right to
do these things in the towns. It's just the neighborly thing to do. If the County were unsatisfied with the
town's position, you have the right to override the town's decision but I think it would be the neighborly
thing to do to talk to the town and go through their procedures and see what happens. Maybe there would
be a solution that could be reached before it gets to the point of legal action which he would hope would
not happen in the future. I think this could happen with any type of action that the County is planning to
91
March 19, 2002
do in any town such as building highway garages. If they were to talk to the individual town, I'm sure
that something could come up that wouldn't be too bad for either side and solutions could be made
without getting carried away in the courts. Nobody wins in that situation.
"Thirdly, the Town of Ulysses has been reviewing the Waterfront Revitalization Plan that was
submitted to them the other night by Tom Neiderkorn and Rick Manning and we may have a couple of
things with that that seem to be a little inordinate. The lakefront designation in the Town of Ulysses is
basically a mile to a mile and a half wide which is a considerable part of the area where most of our larger
single-family homes are being built and we were concerned that some of the ideas of site plan review of
all these things might be cumbersome to their Planning Board. We are wondering why the waterfront
area was designated as that large in the Town and maybe the Town of Lansing might have that same
concern. We've seen that the waterfront in the Town of Ulysses probably should be from Route 89 to the
Lake which is actually the waterfront area and a quarter of a mile in most places. That is one thing we
should think about if we are going to work together because there may be ramifications to that that we
don't fully understand at this point.
"Other than that I don't think there are any concerns with the Town of Ulysses or any other towns
that I know of at this point. We would all welcome you to attend the next Municipal Officials meeting
which is next Tuesday night at 6:30 p.m. at the Lehigh Valley House."
Chair Joseph asked Representative Blanchard, Chair of the Public Works Committee, to get back
to Mr. Austic on the issue of working with Highway Departments. Ms. Blanchard said this is one of the
points that was raised by Cathy Valentino, Town of Ithaca Supervisor. She said they will be asking
Michael Hattery of the Cornell Local Roads Program, to attend an upcoming Municipal Officials
Association meeting, to talk about his experience in this area.
Chair Joseph asked Ms. Kiefer, Chair of the Planning Committee, to look into the concerns
expressed by Supervisor Austic in regard to the Waterfront Revitalization Plan.
Chair Joseph said he agrees with Mr. Austic's concerns relating to better communication,
particularly around County development issues. He said it has always been and will continue to be the
County's policy that when there is any type of construction project in a town, that we will go to the town
board or the town -designated body to present plans and the information that would be required if the
County were to be required to obtain a permit. The town's input will also be sought and efforts will be
made to accommodate the town to the greatest extent possible. He said he hopes the County and towns
can work together in the future to resolve differences before any lawsuit is initiated.
Chair's Report
Mr. Joseph said he traveled to Albany today along with Representatives Blanchard and Schuler,
Sheriff Meskill, and Steve Whicher, County Administrator, to meet with the Commission of Corrections
in regard to the County's Jail variances. He said there was a lengthy discussion about Tompkins
County's efforts to reduce the Jail population and the Commission did extend the variances for six
months. The Commission said they are fully supportive of the County's programs and thought they might
make a small difference in the Jail population. However, the Commission felt Tompkins County's Jail is
overcrowded and they would like to see progress towards construction. They made it clear that they do
not expect Tompkins County to have a jail built in six months and the variances can be extended longer,
provided they see progress to their satisfaction, towards what they see is inevitable, which is the
construction of more cell space. Mr. Joseph said while some County representatives might disagree as to
how effective the alternative -to -incarceration programs will be, they agree that the County should
simultaneously be moving ahead with what needs to be done with construction because there are definite
needs for improvement of that building. Mr. Joseph said he will soon be calling a meeting of the Public
Safety Building Space Planning Committee to discuss how to deal with information from the Commission
and how to proceed.

March 19, 2002
Report from the County Administrator
Mr. Whicher spoke briefly about the budget and said the entire budget situation is not good. Mr.
Whicher requested an executive session to discuss real estate negotiations.
Report from the County Attorney
Mr. Wood reported on the reapportionment case and said after the census figures were received
he had asked the court to dismiss the case. The court had scheduled a conference to discuss that and the
attorneys for the Town of Ithaca wrote to the court this week and said they would not object to the case
being dismissed.
Report from the Finance Director
Mr. Squires was in Albany, and thus there was no report.

revisions that have been proposed by the Economic Development Loan Oversight Committee. The
Convention and Visitors Bureau reported on the Randall Report in which a group was contracted with to
prepare a report on the tourist services in this area. Although a good score was received, there were areas
noted where improvements need to be made. All Board members should receive a copy of that report.
Mr. Lane said Tompkins County Area Development has been very busy and has scheduled its annual
meeting for May 21st• At that meeting there will be a presentation made on the Cayuga Venture Fund.

Economic Development Revolving Loan Fund
GUIDELINES
A. INTRODUCTION
The Tompkins County Economic Development Revolving Loan Fund provides loans to businesses at
below-market interest rates to facilitate project implementation. Terms and conditions are negotiable, and
based on documented need and input from appropriate organizations and financial institutions. Funds
may be used to provide "gap" financing where other funds are not available, or as a subsidy to reduce
project costs so as to make the project feasible.
95
March 19, 2002
B. NATIONAL OBJECTIVES
Loans made through the Tompkins County Economic Development Revolving Loan Fund are made using
repaid U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Small Cities Community
Development Block Grant funds. As a condition of receiving that funding, the County (and therefore the
borrowers) must meet one of the following National Objectives for the Small Cities program:
1. Benefit low and moderate income persons; or
2. Eliminate a slum or blighting condition.
C. COUNTY OBJECTIVES
In the development of the Economic Development Revolving Loan Fund, Tompkins County has
identified several objectives.
1. Creation of new employment opportunities available to low-income persons, and/or retention of
existing employment opportunities similarly available.
2. Leveraging of private funds.
3. Support of export (i.e. sales to non -County residents) sectors of the economy by businesses selling
products or services primarily to customers outside of Tompkins County.
4. Appropriateness of assistance to community and business need.

Terms and conditions are different based on the type of loan required. Maximum loan lengths are as
follows:
Real estate and building improvements:
Equipment and related improvements:
Working capital and inventory:
20 years
10 years
5 years
No loans for equipment will be made for a longer period than the anticipated useful life of the equipment.
Businesses that either cease operations or leave the County will be required to immediately repay the
loan. Term life insurance or other security may be required of the principals involved in the loan.
E. UNDERWRITING GUIDELINES
The County will directly review each prospective loan. County staff will review loans for completeness
and adherence to guidelines and requirements. Final review and determination of loan needs and
conditions will be made by the Tompkins County Board of Representatives. The following materials will
be required to be submitted:
1. A brief summary of the proposed project, including the location, number of jobs to be created and/or
retained, implementation needs for the project, and proposed sources of capital.
2. A brief background on the business and/or a business plan that includes the proposed project, the
market area for the products, marketing of those products, and a list of employees working for the
business and/or the expansion (both current and future).
3. Business and personal credit references (including bank references) for all stockholders, owners or
partners with at least 20 percent equity in the business. The track record and credit history of the
borrower will be considered, and personal guarantees will be required from the aforementioned
people.
4. The most recent two years of business tax returns. Three years of personal tax returns for the
aforementioned stockholders, partners or owners are acceptable if the business has not been in
96
March 19, 2002
business for two years. The past two years historical business statements should also be provided,
preferably prepared by an accountant.
5. A minimum of three years projected profit/loss statements (five years for real estate and building
transactions) for the business, both with and without the proposed project. These projections should
describe specifically how sufficient net operating income will be generated in order to repay debt to
the County.
6. Total project costs and sources of capital for all aspects of the proposed project, including vendor

For loan purposes, a maximum loan to value ratio of 80% will be applied to real estate and equipment
deals, and 50% on inventory and accounts receivable.
7. Current cash flow statements for the existing business, as applicable.
8. Tompkins County will generally require a minimum 10 percent equity investment in the project by
the borrower. The nature of the equity investment should be described in detail.
9. Description of collateral to be pledged and its approximate market value.
10. A short Environmental Assessment Form.
11. Other information as may be reasonably required by the Loan Committee.
The main questions that the Underwriting Guidelines wish to address are the following:
1. Can the business/borrower repay the loan out of current and proposed operating cash flow?

Guidelines Revised: 3/14/02 Economic & Workforce Development Committee of BOR (BOR Resolution)
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Government Operations Committee
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, Chairman, reported the Committee met on March 12 and heard a report
from the County Administrator on a new evaluation process called the "personnel dialogue". This process
will be used with department head evaluations and feedback will be received on how successful it is. Mr.
Koplinka-Loehr said the County's Land Policy requires the Committee to review which parcels go to
auction and which ones get held back. Two of the parcels that were held back in previous years were
reviewed again and the Committee took action to release those properties for auction. He noted the
proposal to release the Town of Caroline property was approved by a split vote. The Committee heard
from Jonathan Wood, County Attorney, on possible Ethics Policy language in regard to personal
accusations against other County employees. After discussing this item with department heads the
consensus there was not to move this forward; the Committee agreed. Mr. Koplinka-Loehr reported the
Finance Director Purchasing Division had a security incident and has since been reviewing security
measures. The Committee was updated on what type of measures are being instituted throughout that
building and was told employees of that Department are taking a self-defense course being taught by the
Sheriffs Department.
Mr. Koplinlca-Loehr reported the Public Information Advisory Board is continuing to review the
survey results that were received and analyzing information, and he hopes a report will be given at the
April Committee meeting. He reported that Valeria Coggin, Assessment Director, asked to be removed
from Agriculture and Farmland Protection Board because as sold assessor, there is a potential conflict of
interest with respect to agricultural land. The Committee reviewed and discussed recommendations that
are contained in the voter participation study that was prepared by Bob Groff, an intern in the Board of
Representatives' Office last year. One recommendation that received a great deal of discussion was for
Board members to go out into the school and educate high school seniors about voting. Other
recommendations included the Board supporting New York State Legislation about election reform,
getting information out about candidates in more of a neutral way, and also looking at the County's data
collection of who votes in Tompkins County. Mr. Koplinka-Loehr said the Committee focused its
discussion on what is the process for getting elected officials into the schools on a regular basis to
encourage voter registration. He said the Committee decided that because the Elections Commissioners
are already going into the schools they will be working with the Chair and Board members to coordinate
this effort so that all schools are covered on a regular basis. The Board of Elections was asked to review
their fee structure to make sure it is m line with what is allowable under New York State Law. Mr.
Koplinka-Loehr said the Committee also discussed the process for hiring of individuals above the starting
rate and what the annual increases should be. He said there was a split vote by the Committee on how
these individuals should be reviewed and decided to separate the issue into two parts. The issues of
whether they should be reviewed annually and if they should receive a standard increase as a group or be
considered individually will come before the Committee at a future meeting.
Mr. Proto inquired about the Pinnacles property in the Town of Caroline that the Committee
voted to release to public auction and stated he may wish to propose that this action be reconsidered. Mr.
Proto was advised he could bring an individual -member filed resolution before the Board at an upcoming
meeting.
RESOLUTION NO. 44 - ADOPTION OF LIST OF DESIGNATED OFFICERS AND
EMPLOYEES REQUIRED TO FILE AN ANNUAL FINANCIAL
DISCLOSURE FORM

March 19, 2002
MOVED by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, seconded by Mr. Booth, and unanimously adopted by voice

Standards of Conduct, "key employees" shall be determined by separate resolution of the Board of
Representatives, and
WHEREAS, the list of "key employees" required to file the annual financial disclosure form has
been updated, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Government Operations Committee, That the attached
list of designated officers and employees required to fill out the annual financial disclosure form be
adopted.

Privilege of the Floor by the Public
Andy Doyle, Ithaca resident, said he is part of a Grassroots Group that has been formed in
Tompkins County that promotes alternatives to incarceration programs and opposes any expansion of the
Tompkins County Jail. Mr. Doyle stated last week he went to Albany to promote laws that would reduce
the number of people being incarcerated.. Although he agrees overcrowding is an issue he does not agree
with the increase in jail population across New York State. Currently there are more people in jail than
living on farms. He agrees that overcrowding is an issue; although he thinks expanding the facility and
creating more beds will result in a vacuum affect. He believes jailing people results in a higher
recidivism rate than alternatives to incarceration programs. He thinks the community needs to get
involved.
Fay Gougakis, City of Ithaca, said she has placed on file three information packets on jet ski
legislation that she got from Assemblyman Luster's office. Ms. Gougakis said she would like to see jet
skis banned on Cayuga Lake, and urged Board members to review the information. She suggested that

Report from the Budget and Capital Committee
Mr. Penniman, Chairman, reported the Budget and Capital Committee met on March 26t.
He distributed the following documents and provided the Board with an overview of each:
Current Budget Projections for 2003
109
April 2, 2002
"If we implemented all of the programs that are either currently operating or proposed for 2003, it
amounts to about a $5 to $7 million deficit in our budget for calendar year 2003. That statement is based
on the following assumptions:
1. That we continue all current County programs in our base budget, including negotiated salary
increases, (about a $2 million increase in spending over 2002);
2. That we continue some programs that are not currently part of our base budget, including some of the
Alternative to Incarceration programs, (about a $1 million increase to the base budget);
3. That we implement most capital programs that are currently in the planning stages (about $3 million
per year in new spending). Note: If ALL capital projects actually come on line in 2003, (very
unlikely) it could push the total deficit for 2003 to $7 million.
"So now that we have finished accounting for all income and expenses for 2001, we have a clearer picture
of our fmancial health. Unfortunately, that picture is not a pretty one. We now know for certain that we
are facing a large budget deficit beginning in 2003. The only real question is how large a deficit it will
be.
"I want to stress here that there are a number of assumptions built into our budget forecasting, ranging
from sales tax revenue to DSS caseloads. One very big set of assumptions has to do with the State
budget. Our projections are based on the assumption that Governor Pataki's Executive Budget, released
in January, will be passed in its present form. Now we know that State revenues for January and
February, 2002 were well below the Governor's forecasted amounts, so there is little reason to believe that
items not currently proposed in the State Budget will be added. In fact, there is some speculation that
State spending will be reduced.
How did our projected deficit situation develop?
"There are a number of factors that have led to our current fiscal deficit. First, we have known for several
years that some of our planned capital projects would be difficult to finance without increasing our overall
annual spending. That has been evident from spreadsheets we have been looking at for the past couple of
years, and it has been referred to as the "deferred tax increase". So that part of this is not a big surprise.
But several new and enhanced factors are contributing to the current situation.
"Over the past several months we have gotten bad news from a wide range of sources.
1. A reduced amount of surplus cash from 2001 that is available to cover future expenses;
2. Reduced sales tax revenue projections, due to a slowing economy and the slow progress of retail
development in the County.
3. Reduced State aid, particularly for highway maintenance.
4. Increased costs to cover new County responsibilities with the expected change in the PINS age.
5. Increased costs for some Medicaid programs, due in part to reduced Medicare coverage in some
areas, and also due to increased caseloads in other areas.
6. Increased costs for health insurance for County employees.
7. Increased pressure to expand the Jail.
8. Continued pressure to move County offices out of the County Courthouse building, to allow for the
growing needs of the State court system.
So how are we going to address this situation?
"To pay for a $6 million increase in County spending for 2003 would require a 30 percent property tax
increase. (It takes a five percent increase in property taxes for each $1 million increase in spending.) I
am assuming that none of the County Board members are even contemplating a tax increase of this
magnitude, so we are beginning to work on a number of measures to reduce spending, both during the
110
April 2, 2002
current year and in the future. Some of those measures will be implemented immediately, and others will
be considered as part of the 2003 budget process.
"In the past week, a number of measures have been proposed to bring County spending in line with
revenues. Some of the proposed measures, mainly relating to controls on spending during 2002, were
discussed at the last meeting (this past Tuesday) of the Budget and Capital Committee, which was
attended by about fifteen County Department Heads. Some of the controls that have been proposed are:
• A firmer approach to our current hiring freeze, with very strong arguments required to allow the
filling of any vacancies;
• Strict limitations on positions that may be reclassified, with Board approval required.
• New limitations to be placed on purchases and contractual agreements.
• Greater restrictions to be placed on the use of surplus funds that are rolled over from 2001.
• Limitations on the ability of Departments to transfer funds from personnel lines to other lines in their
budget.
• A ban on all overtime pay except emergency employees.
• A review of all fees currently charted by the County for various services.
• A reversal of our policy that currently reimburses Departments for replacement pay for workers who
are out on disability for more than 60 days.
Summary of Budget Committee discussion
"Several department heads argued strenuously that they need many of the items on this list to give them
the tools to manage their departments effectively. They suggested that the Board give them a dollar
amount or percentage to cut out of their budgets. Based on this discussion and follow-up meetings with
County staff, a revised list of proposals for addressing the budget crisis has been developed by Steve
Whicher.
Process issues to address:
"We may wish to revise both the budget process and the budget calendar for this year, due to the need for
immediate budget reductions for 2002.
"One change that I would propose is to have some program committee involvement with the 2003 budget
before department heads make their final budget requests. Because of the magnitude of cuts that might be
proposed this year, and the long lasting effect that some of those cuts may have on the public, I think it is
critical that we have an extensive discussion of priorities at that early stage of the process. The meetings
that all program committees will be having over the next month, relating to immediate budget cuts, will
help serve to initiate a discussion regarding additional budget cuts that may be implemented during 2003.
So in a sense, we are starting the 2003 budget process much earlier than usual.
Other issues:
"Which capital projects to pursue first, and based on what criteria and how to allocate $3 million in
surplus funds from 2001, and whether to modify our current "Rollover Policy".
Mr. Whicher reported on activities that have taken place since the Budget and Capital Committee
meeting. He stated that subsequent to that meeting he and Kathy Smithers met with four department
heads. Their recommendation and one that was supported the following day by the entire group of
department heads is to support the concept of tightening down ori hiring and creating a fiscal management
committee. He said department heads want to be assured they will have rollover funds available to them
in the future, and also understood they should not be transferring money from personnel lines to other
lines in their budgets. Mr. Whicher said he has asked all department heads to prepare a ten percent
111
April 2, 2002
annualized cut scenario for 2002, followed by an additional ten percent cut scenario in 2003 for a total of
20 percent. He said because departments would also have to absorb payroll increases, these cuts would
amount to a budget cut greater than 25 percent.
Mr. Whicher said many of the scenarios that have come forward for 2002 will likely make sense
and it will be possible to implement many of them. However, the 2003 scenarios will bring forward
issues that will be very difficult for the Board to accept. He stressed this is a budget year that is very
different than any in the past. Mr. Whicher commended the efforts of department heads and said they
presented many imaginative and creative ideas to address this problem.
Mr. Penniman concluded the Committee report and stated these issues will continue to be
discussed at the next Committee meeting on April 9th.
Mr. Joseph raised the issue of how a budget situation such as this impacts County employees. He
said when the Board begins discussing reductions of this magnitude people in the organization know their
jobs are potentially in jeopardy. He said while this is undoubtedly true, the Board has a commitment to
the well-being of the County's employees. He said part of the reason the Board is looking so early at
getting control of the situation is so that any cutbacks that do have to happen may happen by attrition if at
all possible. Mr. Joseph said the Board cannot promise there will be no layoffs, however, we will work
towards minimizing them.
Mr. Whicher clarified that departments are being asked to prepare scenarios and that no decision
to cut any program or service has been made at this time, and it is highly unlikely that all cuts will be
made.
Mr. Booth stated he agrees with Mr. Joseph's comments and stated terminating employees would
cost the County a substantial amount of money both in human terms and financially. He thanked Mr.
Whicher for following through to create a fiscal management committee.
Ms. Robertson asked if any consideration had been given to department's raising revenue from
grants.
Report from the Public Safety Committee
Mrs. Schuler, Chair, reported the Committee will meet on April 4th at 12:30 p.m. She announced
that that evening the State Emergency Management Office will be sponsoring a public officials
conference at 6 p.m. at the Holiday Inn. Mrs. Schuler also announced free rabies clinics will take place
this spring and she will supply Board members with information. She also reminded Board members that
Dr. Mark Umbreit will be doing a presentation on April 17th on "Responding to Victims and Offenders -
what works."
Report from the Health and Human Services Committee
Mr. Winch, Chairman, reported the Committee will meet on April 9 at 9 a.m. He said Mrs.
Schuler passed on a letter that was addressed to her from the Day Care and Child Development Council
that included an announcement of an Open House to be held on April 10 from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Mr.
Winch said one thing he has been working on as Chairman of this Committee is convening a meeting of
many different human services agencies that work with instruction for financial management for clients.
He said he is convening a meeting to see if those who are doing financial training can look opportunities
to work together or consolidate some programs in a more cost-effective way. Mr. Winch said the
meeting is scheduled for April 26 at 10 a.m. at Cooperative Extension.
112
April 2, 2002
Report from the Information Technology Services Policy Committee
Mr. Winch, Chairman, reported the Committee met on March 20th. He said they revisited the
Committee's charge and the goals of the Information Technology Services Department. They are
continuing to have discussion about what the role of the ITS Department is. He said many new programs
involve grants and they need to make sure this Department is brought into the planning stages in order to
make sure they can cover the work that will be necessary in implementation of the grant. He said ITS
costs should be included in the overall cost of any project.
Mr. Whicher provided the Board with an update on the CISNET program. He said after
performing an evaluation of the project, he changed the direction and restaffed the project. Mr. Whicher
said his evaluation of the overall project was that it could not be sustained if implemented because it did
not have a customer base that would support the project. He said the project has been redefined and has
started up once again. He said the new project is moving along well and will now primarily be a linking
project to communicate system to system. Mr. Whicher stated this project was originally scheduled to
cost $1 million. He believes the remaining balance of $160,000 will be adequate to complete the
remainder of the project.
Mr. Whicher said this project will require some staffing support from the Information Technology
Services Department. He said if the project is not completed, there is approximately a $400,000 liability
in grant money that would need to be repaid.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Public Works Committee
Ms. Blanchard, Chair, reported the Committee met on March 21. At that meeting the Committee
discussed a number of items on the agenda that involved the expenditure of funds, including several
position requests (all of which were included in the 2002 budget), the purchase of several trucks, and
information about a pavement management system that takes the guess work out of determining the most
cost-effective approach to maintenance and improvement of County roads. She said the Committee
deferred action on the positions until they could become more completely informed about the budget
challenges and discussed how to make smart spending decisions. She stated the pavement management
system is a good example. They are currently using a very simple system that Cornell makes available
free and is pretty much based solely on observation of road condition by various individuals, their
evaluation of this information and recommendations based on professional judgement. The type of
system we are considering will let us evaluate alternative maintenance strategies and conclude which are
most cost-effective over the long haul.
Ms. Blanchard also reported Mr. Winch is working with a team to develop a Project Approval
Process that will ensure that all bases are touched as the County moves forward on buildings, roads, and
other projects. This process, which she expects the Committee to review very soon, will require sign off
at various points along the way by the individuals who are responsible for specific steps, such as SEQR
determination, notification to municipalities, contractual arrangements, required resolutions, and so forth.
She stated that the Committee learned that the obstruction removal project at the Airport that was
authorized a short time ago is underway and should be completed by now.
Ms. Blanchard also reported on the Public Works Cabinet meeting and stated she has been
meeting with members of the Cabinet which includes managers for Highways/Bridges, Facilities, the
Airport, and Solid Waste, as well as the County Administrator, on a monthly basis and coordinated by the
Public Works Administrator. She stated at the meeting this morning she learned from them how they are
approaching the County Administrator's message regarding budget scenarios and is very impressed with
their calm, business -like approach to developing the type of information the Board will need to make
some hard choices. Ms. Blanchard stated she feels confident that the Committee is going to be presented
with the information it needs to make those choices and she is feeling much better about how the Board is
going to deal with the budget situation this year.
113
April 2, 2002
The next meeting will be April 4. She asked all Committee members to review the revised goals
in preparation of that meeting.
RESOLUTION NO. 55 - SUPPORTING THE REQUEST FOR AN AREA SPEED LIMIT IN
ELLIS HOLLOW, TOWN OF DRYDEN
MOVED by Ms. Blanchard, seconded by Ms. Robertson. Mr. Winch expressed concern for the
traveling public. He said County roads are generally connecting roads for connecting highways or large
areas of housing going into a municipality. He said those connector roads are for the traveling public as
well as the residents who reside there. Mr. Winch stated there is a well-established process that will be
used to review this. He stated he would like the New York State Department of Transportation
(NYSDOT) to receive the message that he wants someone looking out for the traveling public. Ms.
Blanchard said she could understand Mr. Winch's concerns but said they have learned that the NYSDOT
has already made up their mind. She asked that Mr. Winch support the resolution in the spirit of
fellowship to Dryden. Mr. Totman agreed with Mr. Winch's comments, however, he feels this resolution
is only asking the State to take another look at this issue. Mr. Lane said he supports this resolution and
stated the Town of Dryden has adopted a resolution asking that these speed limits be reduced.
A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 14, Noes - 1 (Representative Winch). RESOLUTION
ADOPTED.

RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Public Works Committee, in concert with the Dryden
Town Board, and the Tompkins County Highway Division, That the Tompkins County Board of
Representatives supports the request to the NYSDOT that the speed limits along the identified four roads
be lowered as appropriate.

April 2, 2002
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Planning Committee
Ms. Kiefer, Chair, reported the Committee met on March 21. A major portion of that meeting
was taken up discussing the Vital Communities Initiatives and how the Planning Committee plans to
proceed with that. She stated there was concern expressed by the Committee about calling them "draft"
principles, if adopted and discussed whether to call them "interim" principles. The Committee decided
they had to wait until after the Municipal Officials Association meeting so they could hear their opinion.
They also felt they need to get more formal feedback from municipalities and will proceed with getting
that information in time for the May 16 Planning Committee. Ms. Kiefer reported the Environmental
Management Council is developing a protocol for listing any future unique natural areas. She said a
guest from the Town of Newfield was in attendance to hear the discussion about gas and oil drilling on
County land. This guest shared her experiences with the drilling companies, and stated the drilling
company was absolutely unwilling to make any changes to the leases offered to individuals. Two
particular areas of concern were the protection of the water supply in certain areas of Newfield and that
there is no obligation for the town board to be involved. The next meeting will be April 181 at
Cooperative Extension; the meeting will focus on leases for drilling on County -land, PDR
recommendation from staff, and a presentation on the draft Water Quality Strategy.

RESOLUTION NO. 59 - AUTHORIZING A PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED
LOCAL LAW NO. 1 OF 2002 - AMENDING SECTION 150-12(D)
OF THE TOMPKINS COUNTY CODE - DEFINITION OF BED -
AND -BREAKFAST INNS
MOVED by Mr. Lane, seconded by Mr. Totman. Ms. Kiefer said she thinks of Bed and
Breakfast establishment as owner -occupied, small buildings with a handful of rooms that serve breakfast.
She said the way it is being defined in the local law is they do not have to be owner -occupied and that
they do not have to serve breakfast. She said she recalled a conversation with Mr. Totman who pointed
out the building code says that bed and breakfasts may have up to four bedrooms. Mr. Lane said he does
not support this notion because this has been discussed by board committees both last year and this year.
The language in this law represents a compromise and he feels it is not the Board's responsibility to
dictate how these businesses are operated.
Ms. McBean said she feels the key factor that differentiates between an establishments being a
hotel or not is that is be owner -occupied. She said it is important that language that makes this
differentiation clear be represented in the local law.
It was MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Mr. Proto, to amend the local law to require these
establishments to serve breakfast. A voice vote on the motion resulted as follows: Ayes - 2

Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Communications Capital Project Committee
Ms. Blanchard, Chair, reported the Committee met on March 26th and approved a resolution to
move the proposed site of the Public Safety Communications Center from the South Hill site to a new site
at the Airport. The Committee used that meeting to once again state the mission/purpose and approach
they are taking to the County's communication system. She stated that mission as follows:
"Our mission is to provide the maximum level of portable radio coverage at the lowest cost and
with a minimum impact on the environment. Our preferred approach is an 800 mHz system but there
118
April 2, 2002
must be fall -back options and we are currently actively encouraging potential vendors to recommend
alternatives to the 800 mHz model."
Ms. Blanchard reported the RFP that has been out for comment has received tremendous response
from the public and system vendors. These comments have been reviewed and where applicable are
being incorporated into the final RFP which will be released this month. She said there will be a pre-bid
conference with potential vendors and they will use that opportunity to reinforce interest in alternative
systems. The Committee also heard an update on the paging project.
RESOLUTION NO. 60 - AUTHORIZATION TO EXPEND FUNDS FOR THE PUBLIC
SAFETY COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM, PROPOSED
PAGING CAPITAL PROJECT
MOVED by Ms. Blanchard, seconded by Mrs. Schuler. Ms. Blanchard reported the paging
system project is approaching a milestone. ACD Telecom, the consultant hired to do a frequency search,
has recommended the County acquire 460.275 mHz, which is a public safety frequency. The consultant
also explored the use of frequencies in the "business band" with the hopes of sharing the use of a paging
system with others in the county but the first option is to pursue obtaining a license for using 460.275
mHz as the Countywide paging frequency. She stated the draft propagation study for the paging system
arrived late last week and is being studied by the paging project team. The fmal report for the system
design is due in mid-April, about two weeks behind the original target date of April 1. Ms. Blanchard
said this resolution authorizes the expenditure of up to $5,000 for consultant time to begin the licensing
process for the paging system. Frequencies are available on a first-come, first-served basis from the
Federal Communications Commission. The plan is to begin the licensing process as soon as the
preliminary system design has been reviewed. The final system design will be influenced by the decision
on the E911 Dispatch Center.
A voice vote on the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes - 15, Noes - 0. RESOLUTION
ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the County has established the Public Safety Paging System as a capital project
(Project No. 34.19) and the Board of Representatives formed the Communications Capital Projects
(COMCAP) Committee to develop and advance the project, and
WHEREAS, Resolution No. 275 of 2001 was passed by the Board of Representatives, on
recommendation of the Communications Capital Projects Committee, to obtain design consulting services
from United Radio Services, Inc., of Syracuse, New York, related to the replacement of the current
emergency paging system, not to exceed the total amount of $15,000.00, and
WHEREAS, ACD Telecom, Inc., has performed a frequency search and analysis recommending
that the County immediately pursue a new frequency for paging use (460.275 MHz), and
WHEREAS, outside consultants and contractors are required to complete this phase of the project
which includes frequency coordination and application to the Federal Communications Commission to
obtain an operational license for the new paging frequency, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Communications Capital Projects Committee, That a
scope of services be issued under Contract No. ADM -02-0129, with ACD Telecom, Inc., to coordinate
Federal Communications Commission filing for a new paging frequency and any other related actions,
not to exceed the total amount of $5,000,
RESOLVED, further, That the County Administrator is hereby authorized to enter into this contract
and to execute change orders of up to five (5) percent of the contract total,
RESOLVED, further, That County Administration be authorized to implement this contract on
behalf of the County, funds being available in Capital Account No. HF3419.59239.

Ms. Blanchard continued her Committee report, stating there was extensive discussion on the
pros and cons of Logical Trunked Radio, but since this will be one of the alternatives to 800 mHz, this
will be discussed at a later date. She concluded her report with the resolution that follows, which changes
the preferred site of the new Communication Center from South Hill to a site at the Tompkins County
Airport. She emphasized that the intermunicipal cooperation that was received on this project sets a high
standard for the future. The next meeting will be April 23 at 11:30 a.m.

used for this purpose, and
WHEREAS, the County Board by Resolution No. 56 of 2001 designated South Hill Fire Station
#5 (SHFSS) as the site for the facility, and
WHEREAS, for many months the Communications Capital Projects Committee has studied the
selected site and proposed building and has learned that the site known as South Hill Fire Station #5
requires a structure design that will not fall within budget, and
WHEREAS, the Communications Capital Projects Committee, recognizing the need to move
rapidly to construct the communications center so as to relieve the overcrowded condition in the
temporary facilities at Central Fire Station, recommends that a site immediately south of the current
Crash/Fire/Rescue (CFR) building within the confines of the Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport be
designated as the preferred site, and
WHEREAS, this site is not being used by the Airport, is not proposed for future Airport uses, and
preliminary permission to use said site has been granted by the FAA, and
WHEREAS, a less complex structure can be utilized on this site to accommodate the necessary

DeWitt Historical Society Quilt
Chair Joseph introduced Matt Braun, Executive Director of the DeWitt Historical Society, and
indicated that Mr. Braun would be providing information relevant to the new quilt that is hanging in the
Board Room. Mr. Braun said he was reminded today that on April 17, 1817, the County of Tompkins
was established as the fiftieth county out of sixty-two counties within New York. He then provided the
following narrative with regard to the quilt:
"In 1996, quilter Patty Elwin Davis created a project suitable for celebrating the rollover into the
new millennium. Her inspiration was nurtured with the assistance of Tompkins County Historian,
Gretchen Sachse, and then archivist of the DeWitt Historical Society, Susan Robey. Together, they
selected one hundred photographs they believed best exemplified important events in Ithaca's history
during the last century. Patty claimed it was hard work to choose the ten scenes that fmally found their
way onto her quilt. Although representing pivotal events in the twentieth century Ithaca history was her
main goal, she also picked images that would transfer well to the quilting medium. It took three years of
research and stitching, but in 1999, Patty triumphantly completed her quilt entitled "100 Years of Ithaca
History." The quilt was donated to the DeWitt Historical Society in January 2000 where it will be cared
for in the future."

Privilege of the Floor by the Public
Katy Williams, City of Ithaca, thanked the Board for the public forum and the ability to freely
speak to the legislature. She said she was most concerned with the State mandate that the Tompkins
County Jail be expanded to provide more space to house inmates. She said she sees how incarceration
harms not only the detainee but the families as well and causes a cycle of repetitive behavior that
continues to fill our jails. She noted that the majority of those in jail are there due to the lack of obtaining
bail and asked that judges carefully weigh the decision to set bail at a level not able to be met. She feels
that alternatives to incarceration that are workable and appeal to the target client must be utilized as well
as counseling and psychiatric evaluations prior to sentencing.
Privilege of the Floor by Board Members
Mr. Lane, District No. 14 Representative, spoke about the proposals being made at the State level
regarding Economic Development Zones; one of which will add more zones, the other would increase the
size of the zone from two square miles to two -and -one-half square miles. He felt that we are at a
disadvantage in Tompkins County by not having an Economic Development Zone. He said that there are
arguments that if all counties have the zones that they lose their value, however, he does not feel it is the
case. He felt that having a zone would assist in the recovery of upstate New York by providing more
positions for the citizenry.
Resolution of Appreciation — John L. "Jack" Miller
Mrs. Schuler read the following Resolution and presented it to Mr. Miller. Mr. Miller thanked the
Board for acknowledging his thirty years of service to Tompkins County. Mr. Miller then received a
standing ovation by members of the Board, County staff, and guests present. Mr. Joseph said that Mr.
Miller's work was much appreciated.
RESOLUTION NO. 62 - RESOLUTION OF APPRECIATION, JOHN L. "JACK" MILLER
MOVED by Mrs. Schuler and unanimously seconded and carried.
WHEREAS, John L. "Jack" Miller began his career with Tompkins County in January, 1972 as
the Fire and Disaster Coordinator, and
WHEREAS, for the past thirty years, Jack has worked tirelessly for the life safety of the residents
of the County of Tompkins, and
WHEREAS, Jack has dedicated his time and energy to acquiring funding to develop resources
that provide training and support for firefighters and has been effective at it, and
WHEREAS, Jack initiated a non -duplicating system of house numbers and street names, creating
and updating the information bank for our 911 system, and
WHEREAS, Jack knew the quirks of our communication system and has personally nurtured,
climbed the towers, and maintained their parts with care and sometimes with duct tape, and
WHEREAS, Jack has always been a good procurer in his diligence to find the best price for all
the equipment under his watch, and
WHEREAS, Tompkins County has been made safe and secure by having Jack Miller as the Fire
and Disaster Coordinator, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the Board of Representatives, on behalf of Tompkins County, profoundly
appreciates Jack Miller's thirty years of dedicated service to the County of Tompkins and thanks him for
it and wishes him and his family a happy retirement free of emergencies.

Privilege of the Floor by Board Members (continued)
Ms. Kiefer, District No. 10 Representative, reported that at the Water Resources Council meeting
held on April 15, 2002 she received information indicating that the Department of Environmental
Conservation draft 303(d) list indicates that the southern portion of Cayuga Lake as considered impaired.
She felt that this is important information to share with the Board and public.
Ms. McBean, District No. 2 Representative, encouraged Board Members to visit the DeWitt
Historical Society to view the many quilts available and make suggestions of others to be displayed in the
Board Room.
Ms. Robertson, District No. 13 Representative, informed the Board and public of a program
entitled Neighbors Around Cayuga Lake that will be taking place on Saturday, April 20 from 9 a.m. until
noon. Several workshops will be taking place and include topics such as planting on slopes, care of
ponds, and caring for stream banks, and will begin with an overview of the County's Water Quality
Strategy.
Ms. Robertson also reported on the information that indicates the importance of education of our
children. In Mississippi, a philanthropist has funded a special reading program to assist youth to reach
full potential and possibly avoid incarceration. She said that eighty percent of those incarcerated in
Mississippi cannot read at a functional level. The connection between reading levels and incarceration
can also be seen in other states as well. In California and Arizona, projections of prison cells needed in
the future are derived in part by reviewing third grade reading levels. Noting this, she said that it is
important to assist youth to grow up well, which reinforces the need for our Alternatives to Incarceration
programs.
Report from a Municipal Official
There was no municipal official in attendance to give a report.
Chair's Report and Appointment(s)
Mr. Joseph said he is continuing to work closely with staff on the review of budgetary issues and

Report from the County Administrator
Mr. Whicher reported he continues to work on budget scenarios that have been prepared by
departments that reflect a ten -percent reduction in spending for 2002 and an additional ten percent in
2003. Upon receipt, he will be providing the information to Board members in a spreadsheet form. He
said Ms. Smithers, Deputy County Administrator, is working on tracking targets since 1994 to assist in an
overall picture of spending. Mr. Whicher will be meeting with department heads on April 17 to discuss
the budget situation and the best way to meet and discuss proposals. The Board will receive a packet of
information that will include a macro -level analysis, as well as individual department and agency
suggestions. Mr. Whicher said a decision has not been made as to how the Board will receive budget
information.

Report from the County Attorney
Mr. Wilson, Assistant County Attorney, said that the briefs and arguments have been filed with
the Appellate Division by the Town of Ithaca, relative to the Public Works facility addition.
Report from the Finance Director
Mr. Squires said that The Ithaca Journal had an article in the April 16 edition regarding the
Tobacco Settlement Revenues. Mr. Squires explained that every April an annual payment is received at
the State level; the Attorney General then notifies municipalities that the revenue is received and provides
a distribution date. He said that fifty percent of the total amount received by the State goes to the debt
service for the tobacco companies and the balance is forwarded on to a bank in Delaware for
disbursement to counties upon application. The County share is .17 percent of the total distribution, and
if the amount indicated is in fact sent, the County's total annual share would be approximately $760,000,
an amount higher than the $695,000 that was budgeted.

Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Public Works Committee
Mr. Lane, Vice Chair, reported that the Committee met on April 4th. At that time the Committee
discussed the possible change of rules and regulations for minimum standards at the Airport; the Charter
Review Committee will be looking into the matter before the Committee proceeds further. There was
also two requests for filling position vacancies within the Highway Department and Facilities Division.
The first was a vacancy of a motor equipment operator position was not approved on a 2-2 vote; and the
second, an electrician position within the Facilities division was approved. He said time was spent
determining whether to acquire pavement management program software and equipment to assist in
providing an accurate record of the road base and composition. Currently, the County utilizes a system of
recording data that is provided for a $25 charge by Cornell University, however it only requires a visual
inspection of the road surface, noting deficiencies and deterioration. This system does not provide
information of the underground structure of the road. The proposed equipment is designed to "bounce"
and determine the composition by the shock obtained. It was noted that the funds for the system will
come from the existing budget and it will require approximately $15,000 per year to maintain the
information. Mr. Lane also said that a discussion occurred regarding flow control and whether to require
all generators of solid waste to utilize the County facility for disposal. He said that following a discussion
of the potential legal questions coupled with the present success of the Solid Waste Program a majority of
the committee decided not to re -implement with flow control.
Mr. Booth inquired as to the length of contract for the road management program. Mr. Messmer
said that the equipment would be utilized one time and that the data would be reviewed annually. Mrs.
Schuler requested more detailed information. Mr. Messmer informed her that all roads would be tested
the first year with one-third of the roads checked annually thereafter to maintain information at a cost of
$15,000 per year. He said that the current system costs between $5,000 - $10,000 annually to collect and
input the data. The new system is anticipated to pay for itself by providing accurate information of both
the surface and sub -surface prior to repairs. The anticipated contract period is expected to be on an
annual basis.

RESOLUTION NO. 69 - AWARD OF BID — TOMPKINS COUNTY SOLID WASTE
HAULING AND DISPOSAL SERVICE
MOVED by Mr. Lane, seconded by Mr. Todd. Ms. Kiefer said that she would not be voting in
favor of the resolution based upon her knowledge of the history of Seneca Meadows and concerns of
potential liability. She said that the Department of Environmental Conservation noted that Seneca
Meadows disposal site is now listed as a 4 or D rating and is not as potentially hazardous as it has been
previously. She felt that despite assurances from the County Attorney's office that, since Federal law
holds that anyone using the landfill can be held liable, even if the hazardous waste was placed in the
landfill prior to the date a client starts using it. Mr. Wilson from the County Attorney's office said that
Mr. Wood, County Attorney, had looked into the situation and provided information that stated the
portion of the landfill which had previously been considered contaminated is not a level 4 and that the
Department of Environmental Conservation had indicated that they did not feel the County would be any
more accountable than at any other landfill. The waste would not be in the older section of the landfill
but rather the new section that meets current standards.
A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes — 10; Noes — 2 (Representatives Kiefer, and Schuler);
Excused — 3 (Representatives Blanchard, Koplinka-Loehr, and Proto). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.

Committee
Mr. Penniman, Chair, said at the April 9 meeting of the Committee they received information
from Mr. Whicher, County Administrator, that the Department of Social Services has a projected deficit
in Medicaid programs of approximately 1.2 to 1.5 million dollars. This is in addition to the projections of
several weeks ago. Most of the time at the meeting was spent discussing possible ways to develop
budgetary controls. It was felt that it was important to allow the various departments to effectively
manage their resources with the least amount of controls possible. Subsequent to this, discussions were
held regarding possible changes to the Fiscal Policy and how to handle rollover funding and the budget
process in general. It was determined for the present time not to make any changes to the Policy but to
carefully review how rollover funds are handled. Next, the discussion revolved around the upcoming
budget scenarios being presented by departments and agencies and the importance of program committees
to review this information to assist in ways of reducing spending. Mr. Penniman said he expects the
Budget and Capital Committee to review information at the second meeting in May. Next, he indicated
that the rollover requests from departments will be reviewed by Program Committees in May and will
then be brought forward to the Budget and Capital Committee. The next Budget and Capital Committee
meeting will be held on April 30, 2002 at 2:00 p.m.

Report from the Public Safety Committee
Mrs. Schuler, Chair, said the Committee met on April 4. She reported that the County Clerk, Ms.
Valenti, spoke to the Committee about graduated licensing for youthful operators. The purpose of the
graduated licensing legislation is to provide more training experience opportunities to young drivers when
first receiving their license. Mr. Beach, STOP -DWI Coordinator, said that approximately thirty states
currently utilize this system of licensure. At the present time, this legislature is in the Senate. Sheriff
Meskill reported information received from the speed trailer that was set up on Ellis Hollow Road. Mrs.
Schuler shared with the Board an award brought by Ms. Valenti from the National Association of
Counties for a "First Responder Award". This award was given in recognition of the assistance provided
at Ground Zero following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. She noted that individuals from the
Ithaca Police Department, Sheriff's Department, Bangs, Groton, and Slaterville Springs Ambulance
Services, as well as sixteen workers from the local Red Cross participated in recovery efforts in New
York City. Mrs. Schuler said that it was timely to have received this award as the State Emergency
Management Office held a meeting for public officials on the same day and the award was read to
municipal representatives at that time. Next, Mrs. Schuler said she had attended a local emergency
management group meeting on April 16 where plans for local emergency response were discussed. She
requested representatives to check on the status of town and/or village plans for emergencies and said that
the County Emergency Management Group is working on compiling all the information at one location.
Ms. Kiefer inquired as to the availability of results of the speed trailer on Ellis Hollow Road. Mrs.
Schuler will provide Ms. Kiefer with the information.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Government Operations Committee
Mr. Booth, Vice Chair, indicated the Committee met on April 9, 2002. He said that Ms. Skinner,
Public Information Officer, reported that the Citizen Friendly Budget book is almost completed and will
be available shortly. In addition, the advisory board survey is completed and each Committee Chair will
be requested to review the tabulations and to provide suggestions to the Government Operations
Committee by mid-June regarding various questions or recommendations. The Committee also reviewed
the listing of foreclosure properties set to be sold at auction. Three parcels located in Jacksonville have
been removed from the submitted listing as there was a possibility of their being contaminated. The
Committee also reviewed recommendations made by the Assessment Department relative to assessment
information availability on the Internet. It was noted that it has been developed as a two-tier system. The
first tier will be free of charge to all and another level that provides more detail regarding properties is
available at a charge to banking and real estate agencies. Lastly, the Committee began discussions on the
possibility of revising the four-year projection of salaries for the Sheriff and the County Clerk, both of
whom are elected.
Ms. Herrera asked for more details regarding the two-tier system of information in Assessment.
Mr. Booth said that the purpose of requiring payment of a fee for the expanded information also carried
with it a disclaimer that the information would not be sold to a third party. This program is in its pilot
stage at the present time. Mrs. Schuler inquired as to why this item was not coming to the full Board for
approval. Mr. Booth noted that the Board had previously approved the project. Mr. Joseph provided
information that the Departments could make the decision unless members of the Board chose to bring it
forward. Mr. Booth explained that the concerns previously voiced by Board members were reviewed by
the Department and that the development of the system took this into account. Mr. Totman agreed that
privacy issues should be respected but felt that the departments need to be the ones to make a
determination as they are the most familiar with the issues. Ms. Herrera said she has concerns regarding
privacy issues and noted that individuals within her district have expressed concern. Mr. Booth suggested
134
April 16, 2002
Ms. Herrera talk to Chair Koplinka-Loehr for background and bring it to the Board if she still had
concerns. Ms. Kiefer said that she along with former Board Member Ms. Davis addressed this issue
previously and that Assessment worked with her to develop a two-tier system that would not hamper the
businesses utilizing the information on a regular basis and still respect citizen privacy.
RESOLUTION NO. 75 - REFUND OF TAXES — TOWN OF DRYDEN (131.6-6-18)
MOVED by Mr. Booth, seconded by Mr. Totman, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by

Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Economic and Workforce Development
Committee
Mr. Lane, Chair, reported that the Committee met on April 11, 2002. Mr. Lane requested that
Ms. Herrera give a report of the Joint Working Group. Ms. Herrera said this group is a joint committee
between Common Council and the County to review and recommend action regarding proposed Project
Labor Agreements, hiring practices, etc. She said that the group finalized a list of individuals to be
included in this working group and developed a letter inviting them to the meeting on April 29, 2002 at
4:00 p.m. in the Scott Heyman Conference room. Materials and an overview of the information will be
provided to members at that time. Mr. Lane then reminded members of the May 21, 2002 annual meeting
for Tompkins County Area Development and noted invitations will be received in advance.
Mr. Lane reported that the Industrial Development Agency was provided an extensive
presentation by the Ciminelli Group with respect to the proposed twenty-five million dollar Cornell hotel
and office building project at the corner of Tioga and Seneca Streets. He said there is a funding gap and it
is anticipated that the Industrial Development Agency will be approached with a proposal for incentives
on a twenty-year tax break schedule rather than the ten-year schedule. He reported the Emerson project is
progressing and it is hoped that it would secure approximately 122 jobs in the community.
135
April 16, 2002
Mr. Lane reported that the Convention and Visitor's Bureau came to the Committee with a
request to amend the existing contract with the Chamber of Commerce to provide additional funding for
beautification in Tompkins County. He said that the request is a result of the Randall Report on Tourism
that indicated the downtown Ithaca Commons area was a high -traffic area for tourism and the need to
continue the beautification process as well as provide signage. The funds requested are from the revenue
produced by tourism through the Room Occupancy Tax. The request included funds for an intern over
the summer months to work on a proposal for signage as well as a coordinator of plantings and work on
various planters. The proposal also included funds to be used as matching funds for outlying
municipalities. After reviewing the information provided, the Committee felt that if it was to be a
matching grant program that the City should also provide funding and revise the proposal accordingly.
He reported that he has received a memo from the Ithaca Downtown Partnership indicating that the funds
would be matched. He said that the five thousand dollars of matching funds for other municipalities are
not included in the revised proposal but that the Committee is open to making a budget adjustment in the
future if needed. Mr. Lane said that a review of the funding indicates that there are sufficient funds to
allow the increase. The Committee then reviewed requests for tourism grants and the recommendations
of the Strategic Tourism Planning Board. It was decided that an additional $1,300 be added in order to
fully fund the proposal for the Southside Center and the revision is reflected in the resolution coming
before the Board.
Ms. Kiefer said she had reviewed the information regarding the tourism grants and inquired as to
whether Kwanzaa is a religious or cultural event. Ms. McBean provided the information that research had
been done by the Director of the Center as well as Ms. Kippola of Administration and it indicated that it is
strictly a cultural event.
Ms. Robertson asked if there is any procedure in place for municipalities to apply for the
beautification funding. Mr. Lane informed her that at this time there is none; however, once the
Convention and Visitor's Bureau comes forth with a plan for this the Committee is willing to review the
matter. It was suggested that if anyone was interested that the Convention and Visitor's Bureau be
contacted.

RESOLUTION NO. 78 - APPROVAL OF CONTRACT FOR BEAUTIFICAN PLAN AND
BUDGET ADJUSTMENT
MOVED by Mr. Lane, seconded by Mr. Penniman. Mrs. Schuler inquired whether any
information on the plan included cleaning up of litter as well as plantings. Mr. Lane noted he did not
have any information other than what was provided in the proposals. Ms. McBean requested that Ms.
Berry of the Convention and Visitor's Bureau provide a revised work plan that would reflect the changes
made in detail. Mr. Joseph noted that this would have to occur prior to the funds being spent. Mrs.
Schuler inquired what would be the effect if items on the proposal such as volunteers fell through. Mr.
Lane said that part of the funding is to be used to hire individuals to do the work. Mr. Lane said that the
importance of presenting this resolution at this time rather than to wait is due to the nature of the work to
be done. Ms. Kiefer asked if this would provide the same type of plantings as occurred last year, noting
the tropical plants in the Commons were very successful. Mr. Lane said that there were no specific
designs presented at this time. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes — 12, Noes — 0, Excused — 3
(Representatives Blanchard, Koplinka-Loehr, and Proto). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the Board of Representatives has contracted with the Tompkins County Chamber of
Commerce (the "Chamber") to carry out services as part of the County's tourism program, and
WHEREAS, the County has provided funding for this contract entirely from the Room
Occupancy Tax account, and
WHEREAS, the Chamber recognizes a need to improve signage locally to direct tourists to key
destinations, and that signs and flowers strategically placed at the County's gateways would enhance
tourism, coordinate the City of Ithaca plans, the towns, and entranceways to our County, and reflect pride
in our community's appearance through well-planned and well-maintained plantings, and

Report from the Charter Review Committee
Mr. Lane, Chair, said the Committee met on April 10, 2002 and spent time reviewing the Articles
for the Office for the Aging and Tompkins Cortland Community College; the Tompkins Cortland
Community College will be sent to the college for comment. The next meeting discussion will occur
regarding term limits and the name of the Board of Representatives. He said that there are not many
county legislatures known as the Board of Representatives and many are concerned that constituents may
not know what a Representative's duties are. At the present time there are only two Board of
Representatives within New York State. The next meeting of the Charter Review Committee will be on
April 24, 2002 at 1:00 p.m. in the Scott Heyman Conference Room.
Report from the Space Needs and Location Committee
Mr. Joseph, Chair, said that a meeting was held that primarily discussed gathering information on
current and potential County buildings. Due to the extensive information to be gathered, it was decided to
sign a contract with Welliver -McGuire, who currently employs former County staff who have done this
type of work previously and are familiar with County buildings. They will be preparing a more useable
form of this information for use by the Committee.
Public Safety Building Space Planning Committee
Mr. Joseph, Chair, reported that the Committee met and discussed options with regard to jail
construction and whether to build new or renovate the current structure. Also discussed was the
possibility of modular construction. At that time the discussion was mainly to establish what data will be
required for this project. He said that it was determined to review the capacity projections in order to
determine what will be needed and that the Labella Report provides a variety of staged option scenarios
for capacity. The next meeting will entail discussion of the capacity projections, how they were
determined, and the direction to proceed. Ms. Kiefer inquired as to the establishment of a regular meeting
schedule for this Committee. Mr. Joseph said there is not a standard schedule, however, the next
meeting is Friday, May 3, 2002 at 9:30 a.m. at the Scott Heyman Conference Room.

Report from the Communications Capital Projects Committee
Mr. Penniman, Vice Chair, reported that the Public Safety Communications System request for
proposal is almost complete and it is anticipated to be completed and ready to go out to bid the end of the
month. He also said that with respect to the paging project being considered a meeting will be held on
Friday, April 19, 2002 at 10:00 a.m. to receive information from the consultant. Mr. Penniman said
discussions on the new 911 Center are continuing. Mr. Whicher said he spoke to the architect to discuss
the moving of the existing site plans to the new site and to reconfigure existing information and
reconfigure it into a single -story building. The architect has begun this work and is also working with C
& S Engineering for the electrical portion. Mr. Penniman said the next regular meeting of the Committee
will take place on April 30, 2002 at 11:30 a.m.
Approval of Minutes of April 2, 2002
It was MOVED by Ms. McBean, seconded by Mr. Totman, and unanimously adopted by voice
vote by members present, to approve the minutes of April 2, 2002 as submitted. MINUTES
APPROVED.
Member -Filed Resolution
RESOLUTION NO. 79 - WITHDRAWAL OF PARCEL 25-1-24.2 - CAROLINE
PINNACLES FROM COUNTY AUCTION (RECONSIDERED AND
ADOPTED MAY 7, 2002)
MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Mr. Penniman. Ms. Kiefer informed the Board that she was
presenting this Resolution on behalf of Mr. Proto who was excused from the meeting. She indicated that
information on this property was provided by both the Planning Department and Mr. Squires, Finance
Director, and that it was a unique property whose boundaries are in question. She said that it would be
beneficial to postpone inclusion in the public auction until further study of the property itself as well as
determination of boundary lines are completed. Mr. Totman inquired as to potential County liability if
anyone was injured while on this property and did not see any reason not to include the property in the
auction. Mrs. Schuler felt that it should not be rushed and said she would also like to see more
information prior to making a decision. Mr. Lane asked that the property be held for another year
pending information. Mr. Joseph said that he felt that since Cornell has indicated a desire to own the
property and utilize it for a good purpose, as well as being willing to complete a survey, the County
should allow them to purchase the property.
Next, Mr. Squires provided information on the foreclosure process and a brief history of this
particular property and funds expended to date. He said that he feels that the County should allow the
market itself to take care of the property. He also indicated that as the property was acquired through
foreclosure that it is normal not to have the same expectations of requirements that apply to a standard
real estate transaction.
A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes — 7 (Representatives Booth, Kiefer, Lane, McBean,
Penniman, Robertson, and Schuler); Noes — 5 (Representatives Herrera, Joseph, Todd, Totman, and
Winch); Excused — 3 (Representatives Blanchard, Koplinka-Loehr, and Proto). RESOLUTION LOST.
WHEREAS, the property known as the "Caroline Pinnacles" has been included in the County
Foreclosure auction, to take place on May 11, 2002, and
WHEREAS, this property was separated from a larger parcel in order to facilitate the sale of that
piece containing a residence, and
WHEREAS, Cornell University had originally expressed interest in the Pinnacles property,
investing a portion of the money necessary to complete a survey, and
139
April 16, 2002
WHEREAS, the above -noted survey was not completed, and
WHEREAS, Cornell University and the Finger Lakes Land Trust would both be interested in this
parcel had the aforementioned survey been fmished, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, That this parcel be withdrawn from the public auction until a suitable method be
determined to complete the survey.

Wendy Skinner, Public Information Coordinator, announced the 2002 Citizen -Friendly Budget
Book has been received. She stated this book is a new way to present budget information which is felt
will be more accessible to the public. Ms. Skinner said copies are on file in the Board Office, County
Administration, and the Tompkins County Public Library. Copies are available upon request and will
soon be accessible on the County's web site.
Privilege of the Floor by the Public
Lynn Jackier, Executive Director for the Drop -In Children's Center, spoke concerning the
upcoming 2003 budget process. She said as the Board contemplates the difficult task of reducing County
spending, it will need as much information as possible to make informed decisions. To that end, the
Drop -In Children's Center staff, board members, and program participants will be attending County Board
meetings during the upcoming months to provide the Board with information about the program. Ms.
Jackier briefly explained the salary scale for teachers at the Center and stated staff is provided with a very
basic health insurance plan. New teachers make $8.00 an hour.
Rupa Das, Teacher for the Drop -In Children's Center, stated the teachers at the Center spent a
great deal of time developing a comprehensive curriculum for the children that takes into account each
child's physical, emotional, and cognitive development skills. She stressed that children at the Center
receive care from early childhood professionals, and not babysitters.
Fay Gougakis, City of Ithaca resident, spoke concerning jet skis. She said there has been
confusion regarding the city, towns', and county's authority for passing a law to ban or restrict them. She
stated she has spoken with Assemblyman Luster and clarified the County could take action. Ms.
141
May 7, 2002
Gougakis also expressed concern for the way recent development has occurred in the City, particularly
the bus station.
Privilege of the Floor by Board Members
Martha Robertson, District No. 13 Representative, announced May 11`b is the Third Annual Rock
the Arts Youth Empowerment Festival on the Commons. She said this is put together entirely by youth
and is a very impressive production.
Richard Booth, District No. 3 Representative, reported many citizens have received notices in the
past week from the Assessment Department regarding new annual reassessment values. He said some
have gone up very sharply and while he agrees there are probably good reasons for this, in the future, he
would like these notices to contain a short and clear explanation as to what has led to these changes along
with an invitation for further explanation.
Ms. Kiefer, District No. 10 Representative, reminded Board members that May 15th is the
deadline for submitting the annual financial disclosure form to the Clerk of the Board.
Nancy Schuler, District No. 4 Representative, reported Ithaca Festival buttons and t -shirts have
arrived and are now on sale. She announced the Festival will be held May 315` through June 2nd.
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, District No. 11 Representative, responded to Representative Booth and
stated the Director of Assessment distributed a letter to Board members today highlighting some of the
actions that have been taken and reasons for those actions. Mr. Koplinka-Loehr also announced the local
advisory boards of assessment review will begin meeting in the next couple of weeks.
Mr. Penniman, District No. 15 Representative, thanked Ms. Skinner for her work with the new
Tompkins County Citizen -Friendly Budget. He said it is a great effort to help the public understand the
County 's budget.
Ms. McBean, District No. 2 Representative, stated that residents in her district continue to deal
with the issue of coal tar. She said this past week NYSEG began to do some work on the site in question
despite concern that had been raised. She said legislators, elected officials, and residents came together
to have the work stopped. She encouraged Board members to show support to this group of people to
make sure the cleanup of that site can be done in the most expedient and safe manner possible.
Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Representative, said all Board members should have received a copy of
the annual report from the Water Resources Council and a draft of the Water Quality Strategy. He asked
Board members to review these documents and submit comments to Kate Hackett in the Planning
Department by June 14.
Mr. Proto requested the Board observe a moment of silence in memory of Erie James Miller, Jr.,
who served on the Board for over 20 years. Mr. Proto announced a memorial service will be held during
the first week of June at the Danby Federated Church.
Mr. Lane, District No. 14, reported this week Tompkins County was able to put together a
package that saved 137 jobs in New York State and brought them to Tompkins County. He thanked the
Tompkins County Industrial Development Agency and Tompkins County Area Development. Mr. Lane
said when it first became apparent that there was an opportunity for these jobs from the Emerson Power
Transmission Company to remain in New York State instead of going to Indiana, these two groups put
together a package that was competitive to the package being offered by Indiana. Mr. Lane said a public
hearing was held on whether to grant tax incentives and in the end the IDA voted unanimously to grant
tax incentives to make this opportunity possible. Mr. Lane said this is not only important because of the
142
May 7, 2002
new jobs that are coming into Tompkins County, but is a vote of confidence for over 400 jobs that are
already here locally with the major employer.
Report from Municipal Official
No municipal official was in attendance.
Presentation - Paging System
Mr. Joseph welcomed former Board Member, Joseph Lalley. Mr. Lalley said the paging project
was identified as a separate system need in August, 2001, as the functional specifications for the Public
Safety Communications system were being developed. He said at that time a draft project request was
circulated and during the budget process as a result of an RFI (Request for Information) approximately
$600,000 was allocated for the project as part of this year's capital plan. An RFQ (Request for
Qualifications) was issued in October and contracts went out for design and a frequency search later in
the year. Mr. Lalley explained the purpose and need for the system:
• The County is charged with the task of alerting public safety agencies and personnel;
• Fire Departments, rescues, and ambulances in the County cannot function without a system for
alerting their personnel; and
• Present equipment is old and difficult to maintain in good condition due to very little radio industry
support.
Mr. Lalley proceeded to explain options that have been explored:
• Do nothing/upgrade existing: Equipment obsolete
• Incorporate into new Voice/Data PSCS: Pagers not made for trunked systems, use of radios as
pagers expensive, and equipment much larger than a pager
• Use a Commercially -Operated Paging Service: does not meet National Fire Protection Association
Standard for installation, maintenance, and use of emergency services communications systems
• Use a Local, Privately -Operated Service - These systems operate in "Business Band" where
frequency allocation "looser" than in Public Safety portion of spectrum: Increased chance of
interference resulting in "missed calls"
Project Status Summary:
Proposed System Design presented to COMCAP on April 19, 2002, by United Radio of
Syracuse, NY

Discussion followed during which it was discussed that $600,000 is a reasonable estimate if
Tompkins County doesn't need to build new towers for the pager system.
Questions
In answer to questions from Ms. Robertson, Mr. Lalley said the budgeted $600,000 would be
enough if the two new towers are not needed. He also stated they are working to make sure the new sites
will work for the PSCS.
Chair's Report
Mr. Joseph presented certificates of appreciation to Representatives Koplinka-Loehr and
Penniman in recognition of five years each of outstanding service to Tompkins County.
Report from the County Administrator
Mr. Whicher said several questions have been asked as to the process program committees will
use in reviewing departmental budget scenarios. He provided highlights of a memorandum that has been
placed on all Board members' desks. He said the most likely target reduction appears for 2003 is for
approximately 20 percent. Mr. Whicher said he will prepare an executive summary of the agency and
department scenarios. He will try to organize the information on a program -committee level and will
provide Board members with an outlook of what it looks like on a macro -level across the County. Mr.
144
May 7, 2002
Whicher said he feels it is best for departments to submit their scenarios directly to the committees so that
they have the opportunity to communicate more directly with the committee as opposed to having him
edit and interpret the scenarios. He said the executive summary should be available by the end of next
week.
Report from the County Attorney
Mr. Wood reported on the litigation relating to the Town of Ithaca's challenge to the construction
of the Public Works building. He said the County moved to dismiss this in the Appellate Court on the
ground that the case is moot because the building has already been completed. He also reported the
County received good news on the longest -standing case in the County Attorney's Office. He said in
1991 a woman from Groton brought a lawsuit against the County claiming that the County contaminated
her well water. Many years later the case was dismissed but the suit was refiled in 1998 in the name of
her granddaughter. Mr. Wood said last week Judge Relihan dismissed the case.
Report from the Finance Director
Mr. Squires reminded Board members that the public auction of foreclosed properties will be held
on May 11th at 1 p.m. at the Human Services Building. He reported his office sent out a substantial
amount of money in the form of sales tax to the towns and villages. He said the first quarter sales tax
receipts represented one of the largest increases from one period to another. He also reported the County
experienced a very robust six-month mortgage tax collection period. He announced a public meeting of
the Tompkins County Tobacco Asset Securitization Corporation will be held May 28th at 4 p.m. in the
Scott Heyman Conference Room.

Reconsideration of Resolution No. 79
RESOLUTION NO. 79 - WITHDRAWAL OF PARCEL 25-1-24.2 - CAROLINE PINNACLES
FROM COUNTY AUCTION
It was MOVED by Mr. Proto, seconded by Mrs. Schuler, to reconsider Resolution No. 79 of
2002. A voice vote on the motion to reconsider resulted as follows: Ayes - 12, Noes - 2 (Representatives
Koplinka-Loehr and Totman); Excused - 1 (Representative Herrera). MOTION CARRIED.
145
May 7, 2002
Mr. Proto said his principle concern is that Tompkins County does not have a survey of this
property. He feels it is disingenuous and unprofessional for the County to be selling property when it
does not know what the boundaries of the property are.
Mr. Totman said he does not feel the County should be spending money on a survey when
another party is willing to pay those costs.
Ms. Robertson said she voted to remove this parcel from the list of properties being auctioned
primarily because of the discrepancy among various parties in what is believed to be the actual size of the
property. She said if it were a small figure in question she probably could support the sale of the
property; however because the size that is in dispute is so large she, too, would like a survey conducted.
Mr. Whicher stated the County could make a very good case that it lost a substantial amount of
money by splitting this land away from the original parcel. He said that action which was done at the
request of Cornell University cost the County money.
Mr. Wood noted this action only removes the property from the list of properties being sold at
public auction and that additional action is needed by the Board to authorize a survey.
A roll call vote on the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes - 8 (Representatives Booth, Kiefer,
Lane, McBean, Penniman, Proto, Robertson, and Schuler); Noes - 6 (Representatives Blanchard, Joseph,
Koplinka-Loehr, Todd, Totman, and Winch); Excused - 1 (Representative Herrera). RESOLUTION
ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the property known as the "Caroline Pinnacles" has been included in the County
Foreclosure auction, to take place on May 11, 2002, and
WHEREAS, this property was separated from a larger parcel in order to facilitate the sale of that
piece containing a residence, and
WHEREAS, Cornell University had originally expressed interest in the Pinnacles property,
investing a portion of the money necessary to complete a survey, and
WHEREAS, the above -noted survey was not completed, and
WHEREAS, Cornell University and the Finger Lakes Land Trust would both be interested in this
parcel had the aforementioned survey been fmished, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, That this parcel be withdrawn from the public auction until a suitable method be
determined to complete the survey.

Report from the Budget and Capital Committee
147
May 7, 2002
Mr. Penniman, Chairman, reported the Committee met last week and received a report from
Wendy Skinner, Public Information Coordinator, about ways to present public information about the
budget and stimulate public interest.
Ms. Skinner recalled the study group that was held for the tobacco settlement money a couple of
years ago. It was based on a model that is often used to talk about community issues. The morning was
spent by having County resource people providing information about the topic so that the issue could be
discussed in a knowledgeable way. Those in attendance were split into small groups in the afternoon and
prepared statements and recommendations that they came up with. She said there was a conclusion that
came from that event that later was reported to the Board. Ms. Skinner said this process works well
because it provides useful information to the participants and allows them to provide the Board with
meaningful input. She said the Public Information Advisory Board feels a similar process can be used
with the County budget by breaking the budget information apart into different segments and asking
questions. Ms. Skinner said a possible date for holding this event would be during the first week in June.
Mr. Penniman said the Budget and Capital Committee endorsed this concept to hold up to three
meetings in mid-June, mid -summer, and possible mid-September if there is enough participation. He said
it is important that a diverse group of people participate in this so that the Board can get valuable input.
He said it is also important that the right questions are asked; input will be needed from Board members
on topics to be covered.
Mr. Penniman said the Committee also received a presentation on the latest projections for the
2003 budget. Mrs. Smithers distributed a spreadsheet showing a possible budget scenario and explained
the assumptions behind each of the figures.
Mr. Penniman said it will be important for program committees to begin looking at the impacts of
budget reductions that departments have been providing. He said hopefully these meetings will take place
in the next couple of weeks and will help inform the Board's decision when a target is set for the budget
submissions. He said the budget calendar calls for the Committee to look at both rollover requests and
setting a target at the second meeting in May with Board action in early June.
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr asked for clarification in respect to how the County is handling the 2002
budget versus 2003. Mr. Penniman said he has distributed a memorandum to County department heads
today and indicated this is an item that is still under discussion. He said most Board members are seeing
a linkage in the 2002 budget, rollover, and how the 2003 budget is approached and that none of those
decisions have been made yet.
Mr. Joseph said that when committees meet with department heads next week they should be
seriously discussing cutting spending right now. He stated that the scenarios that have been presented are
based on assumptions. He said the County's basis budget situation has not changed; however, the
figures will be changed based on different scenarios the Board will be reviewing.
Mr. Booth agreed with Mr. Joseph's comments and said the message to the public must not be
that the County is looking at a much smaller property tax increase. He said in order to get to a much
smaller increase, the Board will have to make a great deal of very difficult choices. Mr. Joseph noted
those choices have not been made at this point, nor has the Board examined them.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Public Safety Committee
Mrs. Schuler, Chair, reported the Committee met on May 2". At that meeting the Committee
discussed a proposal to change the mandate classification for the Jail. After a lengthy discussion, the
Committee decided to withdraw the proposal and look at other alternatives. Mrs. Schuler reported the
Committee discussed legislation that is being proposed in the Senate and Assembly concerning graduated
148
May 7, 2002
drivers licensing but decided not to take any action at that time. The Assigned Counsel Office presented
information and a copy of legislation that is being introduced by Assemblyman Luster that proposes to
establish a New York State Public Defense Commission with fiscal relief to localities and to establish an
across-the-board reimbursement rate for assigned counsel cases of $75 per hour.
RESOLUTION NO. 81 - AUTHORIZATION TO ACCEPT AN AWARD OF A GRANT FOR
THE BENEFIT OF THE DRUG COURTS OF TOMPKINS
COUNTY
MOVED by Mrs. Schuler, seconded by Mr. Totman, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by
members present.
WHEREAS, the Probation Director has been notified of a grant award in the amount of $30,000
from a local foundation that has requested no publicity for the grant, for the benefits of the Drug Courts of
Tompkins County, and
WHEREAS, there is no fmancial or program obligation for Tompkins County in accepting this
grant, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Public Safety Committee, That the County
Administrator or his designee execute all contracts related to this award,
RESOLVED, further, That the Director of Finance is directed to make the following budget
adjustment for 2002:
FROM: A3989.42705 Gifts and Donations $30,000
TO: A3989.52220 Departmental Equipment $11,700
A3989.52206 Computer Equipment $ 300

A3989.54412 Travel/Training $ 2,000
A3989.54470 Building Repairs $ 5,000
SEQR ACTION: TYPE 11-20
Report from the Health and Human Services Committee
Mr. Winch, Chairman, reported the Committee has not met since the last Board meeting. He
reported on a financial management education group that convened a meeting on April 26t. He stated
approximately 25 people were in attendance, representing 18 different agencies. Mr. Winch said it
appears there has already been a great deal of networking among agencies; however, there appears to still
be some interest in continuing to review how this financial management education process can move
forward.
Report from the Information Technology Services Committee
Mr. Winch, Chairman, reported the Committee met on May 1 and spent the majority of the
meeting reviewing the current ITS capital program. He said it appears that because several of those
projects have been in the design phase for so long that they will likely need to be rewritten before they
move forward. Mr. Winch said the Committee discussed the County's infrastructure upgrade and was
surprised to learn there is no centralized backup system within the County. Mr. Winch said there is also
a need to upgrade the Pentimation system which is the County's financial system that is networked among
County departments. The Committee also spent time discussing the County's network upgrade and the
possibility of networking with several not-for-profit agencies.
Report and Withdrawal and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Public Works Committee
149
May 7, 2002
Ms. Blanchard, Chair, reported the committee met on May 7; about half of the meeting dealt with
airport security. On May 13th the National Guard tour of duty at the Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport
will end. She said the County must replace this extra security with qualified public safety personnel in
order to comply with new federal regulations coming out of the Transportation Security Administration, a
branch of the United States Department of Transportation. She said Secretary Mineta's testimony before
Congress on the question of Airport security was televised last week. Potential candidates for filling this
role were the New York State Police and the Tompkins County Sheriffs Department. At a joint meeting
of the Public Works and Public Safety Committees earlier today, the decision was made to designate the
Sheriffs Office as the most cost-effective means of providing this service. There will be reimbursement
from the federal government but the amount of that reimbursement is being hotly debated in Congress
right now. Ms. Blanchard stated for the remainder of 2002, any differential in cost between the
reimbursement rate and the actual cost of providing the service will be covered by the Airport Fund
Balance. She reminded the Board that this is revenue that is generated from the airlines and other
services at the Airport, not from general tax revenues.
Ms. Blanchard also reported the Committee learned that bidding on the North Triphammer Road
improvements will need to be delayed by a few weeks because the bid notice did not appear in the New
York State Contract Reporter as required. This was through no fault of the County's but resulted from a
move of the Contract Reporter's offices in Albany to a new location. Ms. Blanchard stated that some
Board members will recall that eight years ago the County had six closed bridges. She stated after the
Lounsbery-Valley Road bridge project is completed this year and into next year, the County will have
reopened all of those six bridges. She said this is due to excellent staging of these projects by County
staff and an aggressive approach to securing federal and state funding through the Ithaca -Tompkins
Transportation Council and the support from this Board for the bridge program.
Ms. Blanchard concluded her report by reminding the Board of the following events:
May 9 at 11 a.m. - Significant Elements ribbon -cutting ceremony. This is a partnership between
the Tompkins County Solid Waste Division and Historic Ithaca to recycle architectural elements, such as
doors and sinks.
May 11 at 9 a.m. - Tour of summer road and bridge projects. (This event was subsequently
canceled.)
May 20 at 3 p.m. - Ribbon -cutting ceremony at the Bostwick Road Facility.
Frank Proto raised concern that the study referred to in the resolution authorizing agreement no. 4
for a runway safety analysis had already been done a number of years ago. Ms. Blanchard was granted
permission to withdraw the resolution entitled Authorizing Supplemental Consultant Agreement No. 4
with C&S Engineers, Inc., for General Airport Consultant Services in Connection with Runway Safety
Area Analysis - Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport so that this matter could be looked into.

Ms. Blanchard, Member, reported MEGA met on April 10. She displayed a brochure that has
been produced and reported the Alliance now has members from six counties. She reported it participated
in the NYSEG/Public Service Commission settlement that will unfold in the next several months. The

slightly improved rates.
Report from the Planning Committee
Mrs. Kiefer, Chair, reported the Committee met on April 8 at Cooperative Extension and was
introduced to Mark Sawyer, a new employee in the Planning Department. She said it was reported that
the Extension Board is in the midst of reviewing Cooperative Extension's role image, and visibility in the
community and is exploring the possibility of a change in its name to downplay the word "Cornell" since
that makes it hard to raise money in Tompkins County. Ms. Kiefer reported the Committee has
completed its work establishing goals for 2002 and distributed them today. At that meeting the
Committee also heard more information on oil and gas drilling on County -owned land and will continue
that discussion at the next meeting. The Committee also heard updates on the Aquifer study and staff
recommendations on the purchase of development rights. She reported Herb Beckwith and AES Cayuga
have requested that the County support AES's position on the proposed Department of Environmental
Conservation regulations to reduce emissions from electricity generation plants. The Committee is
awaiting input on this from the EMC's energy committee. The Planning Departments Article in the
County Charter was revised and a majority of the Committee agrees to support the Planning
Commissioners proposal to delete the Planning Federation, to add the EMC, and to expand the Planning
Advisory Board. Kate Hackett, water resources planner, reported on a revised proposal from the U.S.G.S.
to conduct a Needs Assessment for county -wide aquifer study, and the committee supports acceptance of
this proposal. An additional committee meeting was held May 6 to deal with regular Planning Department
business.

Present: 15 Representatives.
Privilege of the Floor by the Public
Mechthild Nagel, City of Ithaca, spoke against Jail expansion and presented reasons for creating a
public defender's office. A case needs to be looked at before it comes to the courts' attention to see if
there is effective counsel. She spoke about the number of attorneys in the District Attorney's office and
feels there is a problem of distributed justice and equality of access. The effectiveness of an assigned -
counsel office needs to be reconsidered. There are many private attorneys in this area that can choose
which case to take. She hopes that the County will look into implementing a fulltime public defender in
the future.
Deb Grantham, Town of Dryden Board Member, said she wanted to speak about two items:
aquifer study and Cayuga Lake Watershed Intermunicipal Organization. She commented that the Town
of Dryden is very interested in conducting an aquifer study for the Virgil Creek Aquifer which is located
mostly in the Town of Dryden. The Town is waiting for USGS to receive the contract back from Albany
which will then be delivered to the Town. The Town has not seen budget figures yet but understands it
could be around $400,000 for the entire study. Thirty percent will be paid by USGS and seventy percent
by the Town of Dryden. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has been
contacted which has a cooperative agreement annually with USGS to do aquifer studies around the State;
the DEC is also interested in the Virgil Creek Aquifer and may contribute some funds, too.
She explained why there is interest in aquifer studies and what the products are. Generally,
USGS prepares a combination report and set of maps and cross sections of the subsurface materials. The
Town is hoping for data on the extent and depth of the aquifer, the recharge (the area of land that
replenishes the aquifer), the volume of the aquifer, and how much water it can produce. The third phase
includes modeling that does particle tracking, which will help determine how long the water is in the
aquifer, and what sources of pollution may impact the quality of water. With all this information, the
Town will be able to help protect the aquifer. She spoke of her support for the County's proposal for an
aquifer study needs assessment.
Ms. Grantham also spoke about the County's membership in the Cayuga Lake Watershed
Intermunicipal Organization and thanked the County for its participation. The Water Resources Council
utilizes the management plan for developing the water quality strategy for the County. There is now a
request that the Management Plan be implemented by the County which also includes a $900 annual
membership fee. Two applications have been submitted to the State, one for bond act funding and one for
Great Lakes Coastal Funding. If those applications are funded, it will be approximately $400,000 and
most of the work will be done in Tompkins County. The most serious problems with lake quality were
identified in the southern end of the lake.
Peter Meskill, County Sheriff, announced he issued a warning and press release this afternoon to
people using the lake; because of the high water level there is a no wake policy in effect for 500 feet from
shoreline until further notice.

May 21, 2002
Kenny Christianson, Chair of the Energy Committee of the Environmental Management Council,
reported on a meeting he attended in Syracuse with the Public Service Commission. They are interested
in consumer outreach efforts to encourage reduced electricity use especially during the summer peeks.
He distributed information and brochures to Board members.
He also reported the Energy Committee is recommending developing a purchasing policy for the
County for purchases of appliances, etc. that are energy efficient. The Committee has also been
monitoring the solar panels at the Library and hope to have a report for the Board in a few months. There
have also been discussions concerning the next steps in the Cities for Climate Protection program.
Privilege of the Floor by Board Members
Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Representative, spoke about the memorandum received from Kenny
Christianson, Chair, Tompkins County Environmental Management Council Energy Committee,
concerning Acid Rain Regulations and AES Cayuga's position. He reported while the memo is well-
done, not everyone agrees with the conclusion that the Committee has reached supporting fuel -neutral
regulations. Mr. Proto said there is some support for fuel -specific regulations, but due to time constraints,
a resolution was not brought forward to the Board this evening.
Mr. Proto also reported in his capacity as a Commissioner with the New York State Education
Department Archives Division. He announced grants that have been received in Tompkins County.
Tompkins County will be receiving $24,000 for microfilming, the Village of Dryden will receive $6,700
for active records, and the Town of Ithaca will receive $14,922 for inactive records.
Mrs. Schuler, District No. 4 Representative, announced she attended the Tompkins Community
Action annual board meeting last Friday. Mrs. Schuler said it was a very exciting program with Eva
Cochran, Chair of Early Childhood at Tompkins Cortland Community College, being the guest speaker.
Donna Brown, of Newfield, received the Tompkins Community Action Award for her many years in the
Start Smart Program. The Joseph Cassanetti Community Service Award went to Orange Tree Theatre
Company. Mrs. Schuler said she also attended the first graduation ceremony from the Tompkins County
Family Treatment Court today.
Mr. Winch, District No. 8 Representative, reported he attended a Foster Care Recognition Dinner
last Friday evening. He said the Department of Social Services runs an excellent program for foster
children. He said the event was well attended and it was pleasing to see many individuals being
recognized for several years of providing foster homes to children in Tompkins County.
Mr. Booth, District No. 3 Representative, said the County has not done a good job explaining to
the public why some assessments in some places have gone up so rapidly. He said it is important that
people understand that while the County does have budget problems and the County's budget is tied to
total assessments, the Board did not order or decide that people's assessments should go up to deal with
those problems. Mr. Booth said the issues are related but are not coming from the same decisions.
Ms. Herrera, District No. 5 Representative, reported she had co-sponsored a public meeting in her
district last evening at which many people were in attendance to talk about their increased assessments.
She said the Fall Creek and Cayuga Heights areas have been hit hard with increased property values. Ms.
Herrera complimented Assessment Department staff for doing a good job explaining how assessments are
conducted, dispelling some of the myths about assessment, and explaining the grievance procedure. She
said there was also discussion about Tompkins County's 2003 budget, and a report on the Ithaca Falls
Lead remediation Project. There will be some public information sessions before the next phase of the
Lead remediation in June, and she will be keeping the Board informed as to when those dates will be.
157
May 21, 2002
Ms. Kiefer, District No. 10 Representative, reported she attended a Village of Cayuga Heights
Board meeting last evening where there were a number of residents who were also concerned about their
assessment. Ms. Kiefer also reported on the seismic testing the County authorized in connection with
the leasing of County land for oil and gas drilling some time ago. She said the County gave permission
for one company to do one-time seismic testing a while back and has been waiting to receive information
on when this will take place. Ms. Kiefer said she has been informed it will take place in Newfield within
the next couple of weeks. They will provide the County's EMC Coordinator two to three days notice
before this occurs so that those who are interested may observe. Ms. Kiefer asked that if any Board
member is interested, that they contact her or Heather McDaniel in the Planning Department.
Mr. Penniman, District No. 15 Representative, reported he attended the Assessment Review
Board meeting in Ulysses and there was greater attendance than at any of these meetings he has attended
since he came on the Board. Mr. Penniman said occasionally there are errors in the assessment and
encouraged the public to verify the information relating to their property at the Assessment Department.
Ms. McBean, District No. 2 Representative, reported Bernie Milton who was a long-standing,
well-known citizen in the community passed away. She said Bernie served the community and nation
well by volunteering his time to the community and through his music and his voice on the radio. She
announced the public can express sympathy to his family and friends on May 23rd at the Southside
Community Center to share and glorify his memory.
Mr. Todd, District No. 6 Representative, announced last week he attended a scheduled grievance
day in Lansing for assessment. He said the assessed values in Lansing probably went up more than any
place in the County. Mr. Todd praised the Assessment Department for the very professional way a very
difficult situation in Lansing was handled. He said Assessment staff came very well-prepared and well-
equipped to answer questions.
Mr. Lane, District No. 14 Representative, said New York State has fmally adopted a budget and
while supporting a $1 billion tax rate decrease, mostly for businesses in New York State, we have seen
cutbacks in many areas that have to be funded. He gave an example of the loss in maintenance aid for the
highway system which will amount to approximately $550,000 over a two-year period to Tompkins
County. Mr. Lane said there are now new Economic Development Zones to be funded and established in
various parts of the State, including one in Schuyler County. Mr. Lane said this will leave Tompkins
County as one of the very few localities in the State that does not have an Economic Development Zone.
He said it is time Tompkins County has one of these to level the playing field across the State so that
businesses can be given the kind of incentive to come here and establish jobs that they are being given in
neighboring counties. Mr. Lane said the Economic and Workforce Development Committee will be
looking at this in the coming months along with Tompkins County Area Development.
Mr. Todd, District No. 6 Representative, said he thinks the Board needs to take a look at how
many out -of -County residents are employed inside Tompkins County.
Report from Municipal Official
Mark Varvayanis, Town of Dryden Supervisor, spoke of the aquifer study and said there are 16
aquifers that the USGS and DEC are looking at Statewide for funding, only one of which is in Tompkins
County (Virgil Creek). Mr. Varvayanis said although Dryden is planning to proceed with paying to study
this aquifer he believes the County should contribute toward the cost.
Chair's Report and Appointment(s)
158
May 21, 2002
Mr. Joseph spoke of the budget scenarios departments have been asked to prepare and submit to
the County Administrator. He said program committees began looking at those scenarios today and
presented them with the following charge:
"I am asking program committees to look at the scenarios for 20 percent spending cuts that were
submitted by departments in order to gain a sense of the impact that such cuts would have. Action on
these scenarios is neither requested nor anticipated. Rather, examination of these scenarios is an early
step in educating Board members about what is at stake in contemplating cuts of this magnitude. The
knowledge gained and shared through this process will inform the decisions that must be made later when
the formal budget process begins.
"While no action will be taken on these scenarios at this point, I encourage committee members
to engage in discussion with each other and with departmental staff to understand the impact of cuts and
to provide feedback on the nature and level of impacts that they would find acceptable. The review of
these scenarios may include departmental plans for the use of rollover to effect a smooth transition to
reduced spending levels if such plans are available.
"I ask committees to also discuss with departments the steps that are being taken this year to
reduce current spending. I know these steps are being taken and the program committees need to be
aware of them and of their impact as well.
"When these reviews are completed I ask committee chairs to report back to me about what levels
of reduction appear to be realistically achievable in the departments overseen by their committee."
Mr. Joseph said he expects two resolutions to soon come forward from the Budget and Capital
Committee. The first is to charge the County Administrator with identifying spending reductions in this
year's budget and the other is an amendment to the Capital Program that will take at least one step in
tackling the Capital Program which is also a serious part of the County's budget problems.
Appointment(s)
Mr. Joseph appointed Richard Booth to replace Michael Lane on the Communications Capital
Projects Committee.
Report from the County Administrator
Mr. Whicher said all Board members should have received the budget scenarios summary that
was prepared by Kathy Smithers, Deputy County Administrator. He reminded Board members that this
information is confidential and not subject to the Freedom of Information Law. Mr. Whicher said he has
asked Wendy Skinner to provide an executive summary report of the scenarios that is now available for
public viewing. Mr. Whicher thanked both Mrs. Smithers and Ms. Skinner for their hard work.
Mr. Whicher requested an executive session later in the meeting to discuss contract negotiations.
Report from the County Attorney
Mr. Wood said he reported at the last Board meeting that a motion had been filed to dismiss the
Town of Ithaca's case relating to the Bostwick Road Facility, on the grounds that the case is moot
because the facility has already been constructed. He said that motion was not granted. This case is the
only one where the County has obtained outside counsel.
Report from the Finance Director
159
May 21, 2002
Mr. Squires reported on the successful foreclosure auction that was recently conducted and said
May 241 is the deadline for purchasers to pay for the property that was bid on. He said there were over
100 people in attendance and that the County needs to begin looking into other locations that would
accommodate a large crowd.
Mr. Squires spoke of the Pinnacles property in the Town of Caroline that was withdrawn from the
list of parcels being sold at auction and said he was contacted by Cornell Real Estate who informed him
they will be making an offer for the property soon.

Report from the Public Safety Committee
Mrs. Schuler, Chair, reported the Committee will meet tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. to review budget
scenarios. She said she has distributed copies of emergency planning guides to all Board members that
should be delivered to municipalities. She shared a letter with the Board that had been written to Sheriff
Meskill in which a former inmate complimented the humane way she was treated by corrections officers
at the Tompkins County Jail during her incarceration.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Health and Human Services Committee
Mr. Winch, Chairman, reported the Committee met on May 14th and received a presentation from
Sandy Mulvey of the Department of Social Services on the Medicaid Managed Care Program. In 1997
New York State granted a federal waiver to implement a statewide program for Medicaid recipients
which would require them to enroll in a managed care plan in order to receive services locally. He said
this has been a long time coming and there will be only one company who will be providing services in
Tompkins County although two are desirable. The company is Total Care and is a prepaid health services
program which has been approved by the State. He said it may provide voluntary managed care in
Tompkins County and will operate along the same lines as a regular managed care program. Each
enrollee would have a fixed cost for the benefit package and any services not covered by the package
would be covered by a fee for service Medicaid program. There are approximately 5,300 recipients in the
County who would be eligible for a managed care program and of these 4,000 receive Medicaid through
TANF funds. He said the County's cost should be approximately the same as it is right now.
Mr. Winch said the Committee also heard from Anthony Deluca, Commissioner of Mental
Health, about a Mental Illness Abuse Coordinator. This is a new position funded by the State for a dual
diagnosis (substance abuse and mental illness) program for three years. Mr. Winch said Janice Johnson
of the Youth Bureau also provided the Committee with a report on the municipal youth service system in
Tompkins County.

Recreation Partnership, and
WHEREAS, the Intermunicipal Cooperative Recreation Partnership's approved bylaws call for
any changes to be approved by the Recreation Partnership's governing Board and all participating
municipalities, and
WHEREAS, the governing board of the Recreation Partnership amended their bylaws to include
several clarifications related to voting on April 23, 2002, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of Health and Human Services Committee, That the amended
bylaws be and hereby are approved,
RESOLVED, further, That a copy of the resolution approving the changes be sent to the County
Youth Bureau as the department designated by the Recreation Partnership Board to provide
administrative support.

Report from the Information Technology Services Committee
Mr. Winch, Chairman, had no report.
Report from the Public Works Committee
Ms. Blanchard, Chair, began her report by calling the Board's attention to a notice attached to the
agenda packet that gives choices of dates for the rescheduled tour of highway road and bridge projects.
She asked that Board members provide her with an indication of which date they would prefer.
Ms. Blanchard reported the Committee met on May 16. In preparation for the budget discussion
meeting, the Committee received homework from the Highway Division, Public Works Administration,
and Facilities. At that meeting the Committee authorized three purchases from unspent appropriations.
The first is for the purchase of a phone switch for the Bostwick Road Facility. The existing
phone system at Bostwick Road does not conform to the system in place for the rest of the County. A
used switch was located at half the price of a new one. This will allow the system to be conformed to
County protocols and also allows for expansion of the system as needed. She said this is a good
investment for $12,000. The second is for a cooling unit in the Old Jail to replace the 1991 original
equipment, that no longer operates at all, with Energy Star rated equipment. This $10,000 investment
will be an energy saver. The third is for repair of an old chiller at the Old Library. This was not
unanimously supported because there is still no determination about the future of that building. She said
they were not happy with this choice to spend $15,000 but most of the Committee felt it had to be done to
keep the building habitable in order for the programs going on there to be conducted in a supportive
environment.
Ms. Blanchard also reported the Committee authorized the purchase of a hydraulic excavator.
The budget included $238,000 to purchase a Gradall which is a basic workhorse for the County's
Highway Division. Instead, they will be purchasing an excavator for $120,000 which will allow them to
keep up with ditching work, which extends the life of roads. This equipment switch results in a savings
of $118,000.
The Committee reviewed the status of the summer road projects with the Highway Manager. Ms.
Blanchard said Board members should have received spreadsheet layouts identifying all the projects in
165
May 21, 2002
detail. She stated the road program was constructed on the assumption that the County would lose
another $276,000 in CHIPS O/M money and receive $1 million in CHIPS capital funds from the State, as
part of the State budget that was adopted last week.
Ms. Blanchard also reported the Committee awarded the contract for the Caswell Road Landfill
cover and leachate system enhancements to Procon Contracting of Vestal, New York. This work is Phase
I of a multiphase project in which the cap and surface drainage will be improved. She stated the original
estimate for this phase was $750,000-$800,000; the bid came in at $560,000.
She said the Committee also reviewed a progress report on Airport capital projects. She
specifically noted work on the expansion of the Crash Fire Rescue building began on April 1st, the new
regional jet passenger boarding bridge has been installed and will be operational very soon, and deputies
are on duty for security purposes. The County's contract with the Transportation Safety Administration
for this security is for $700/day through December 1, 2003.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Planning Committee
Ms. Kiefer, Chair, reported the Committee has met twice since the last Board meeting. At both
meetings Vital Communities interim principles were discussed and a fmal copy was distributed this
evening to all Board members. She said as of today 9 of the 16 municipalities in Tompkins County have
adopted resolutions endorsing the County's adoption of these. One has supported the County's adoption
of them by consensus and not resolution and six have not taken action. Ms. Kiefer said the Committee
heard from the EMC's Energy Committee and began looking at the Planning Department's budget for
2002 and 2003. One result of that discussion will appear in a revised resolution regarding the Aquifer
Study that will be taken up following this report.
RESOLUTION NO. 97 - AUTHORIZATION TO CONDUCT AN AQUIFER STUDY NEEDS
ASSESSMENT
MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Ms. Robertson. Mr. Todd said he cannot support this
because he feels it is like "the camel's nose under the tent" and expenses will keep getting bigger. Mr.
Lane said he is glad to see this move forward because he thinks studying the aquifers and doing this
assessment is really needed. Mr. Proto said the Water Resources Council is in support of this. He also
said the Towns of Caroline and Dryden have also committed funds to an aquifer study with the USGS.
He said this is the first step down a long path to get this accomplished and urged other Board members to
support this resolution. Ms. McBean said she appreciates the new information presented by Deb
Grantham and the Planning Department's efforts to find a way to get this paid for. Mr. Booth said he
will support this because a large number of people in the County depend on groundwater for their water
supply and the increasing demands on the water supply makes it necessary to look at this. He noted that
groundwater is the least well understood of all our natural resources. Mr. Penniman stated he will support
this because aquifers typically cross municipal lines and it is difficult for towns to undertake this type of
thing on their own and although this is expensive, pollution prevention is much cheaper than trying to
clean up contaminated groundwater later. Mr. Totman said he agrees with Mr. Todd's analogy, however,
he feels this project needs to be done eventually. Ms. Robertson said she understands the Board's concern
for spending money at this time; however, she feels this needs to be done now. She said it is important
that people understand this would lock the County into the thirty percent match from USGS no matter
how long the project ends up taking.
A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes — 13, Noes — 2 (Representatives Todd and Totman).
RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the public health and the economic and environmental well-being of Tompkins
County and its residents are dependent on safe and dependable supplies of drinking water, and
166
May 21, 2002
WHEREAS, all water supplies in Tompkins County originate from, or mix with, underground
water sources and aquifers, and approximately 45 percent of the County's residents depend directly on
groundwater supplies, and
WHEREAS, it is possible to perform detailed studies of these underground water supplies and
aquifers to better understand their hydrologic characteristics, and
WHEREAS, some preliminary assessment must be made of existing data and of hydrogeologic
characteristics of the study areas in order to determine the appropriate methods of investigation and
estimate the costs to appraise each aquifer, and
WHEREAS, both individual municipalities and the County need accurate cost estimates to assess
financial feasibility of the study and for the County to use as a basis for a future capital program, and
WHEREAS, the total cost of the needs assessment for surficial aquifers in Tompkins County
conducted by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) is $7,500, and
WHEREAS, the USGS will contribute thirty percent towards the cost of the needs assessment if
Tompkins County enters into a contract with the USGS this fiscal year, which is expected to lock in the
thirty percent match for Tompkins County as a USGS cooperator in the future, and
WHEREAS, the County share of the cost of the needs assessment, $5,250, can be covered by
reductions in spending that have been identified by the Department of Planning, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Planning Committee, That the County Administrator or
his designee is hereby authorized to enter into an agreement with the USGS for the purposes of preparing
an aquifer study needs assessment.

Report from the Government Operations Committee
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, Chairman, reported the Committee met on May 14 and most of the business
conducted at that meeting will come to the Board in the form of resolutions. He stressed the importance
of having all members present at committee meetings because there were a number of votes that were 2-2.
He said the Committee has been looking at salaries of elected officials and will continue that discussion at
the next meeting on May 23rd.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Economic and Workforce Development
Committee
Mr. Lane, Chairman, reported the Committee met on May 9 at the Workforce New York Center
for a tour of the facility. They discussed the issue of a wine center, on which there were originally mixed
opinions from winery owners. The Downtown Ithaca Partnership and the Strategic Tourism Planning
Board are now putting together a working group that would include representation from the City of
Ithaca, Tompkins County, TCAT, and others to take a look at this concept, which was listed as an
important concept in the recent tourism study (the Randall report). Mr. Lane said the Committee also
heard the Fingerlakes Association has been reorganized and Bridgett Berry has now been selected to be
on that Board for Tompkins County for a three-year term. Martha Armstrong of Tompkins County Area
Development was in attendance at the meeting and discussed how TCAD it is trying to publicize its
activities. He said the Committee toured the Workforce New York Center and was very impressed with
the activities and layout of the center. Mr. Lane said the Committee met today and discussed budget
issues.

proper notice of such public hearing in the official newspaper of the County.
SEQR ACTION: TYPE II -20
RESOLUTION NO. 99 - APPROVAL OF CONTRACT FOR BEAUTIFICATION PLAN
MOVED by Mr. Lane, seconded by Ms. Herrera. Mr. Proto said he is having trouble funding
something from a maintenance standpoint, and particularly a position which he feels should be paid for by
the City of Ithaca as opposed to tourism funds. Mr. Lane noted downtown beautification was
recommended in the Randall report, and the County has already approved this. He said it was originally
thought that there was a possibility the County could do a portion of this planning. He said the County
cannot do that so now a decision has been made to put the contract through the Chamber of Commerce.
A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 14, Noes - 1 (Representative Proto). RESOLUTION
ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, Resolution No. 78 of 2002 authorized spending $32,000 from the Room Tax Fund
for the County Beautification Plan to further the County's tourism program, and
WHEREAS, the County Administrator's Office requested time to investigate whether these
services could be performed by existing staff in light of the impending budget shortfalls, and
WHEREAS, the scope of services for the Beautification Plan requires expertise in the area of
landscape planning and architecture which are not skills essential to any current County employee job
description, and
WHEREAS, the Chamber of Commerce wishes to lead this project to completion by accepting
the revenue to contract out the work with those who have expertise in this area, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Economic and Workforce Development Committee, That the
County Administrator or his designee is authorized to execute an amendment to the Chamber of
Commerce contract for $32,000 to carry out of the tasks outlined in the County Beautification Proposal
dated April 3, 2002.

Report from the Public Safety Building Space Planning Committee
Mr. Joseph, Chairman, reported the Committee met and is preparing an RFP for jail building
design. He noted the intent is not to redo the Labella study; this is picking up where it left off and
conducting the next step. The Labella study provided the County with population projections for the Jail,
space needs assessment for all the functions in the Sheriffs Department, and laid out the amount of space
that was needed for all the various operations. This RFP is for design for actual construction and will
allow for proposals to renovate the current building or construction of a new building if that is felt to be
the least expensive alternative. They are also encouraging proposers to consider prefabricated
construction.
Ms. Kiefer asked if the RFP included any reference to the possibility of using NYSERDA grant
money if energy-efficient construction is incorporated. Mr. Joseph said it does not; however, this could
be added.

Privilege of the Floor by the Public
Gale Smith, Tompkins County Youth Board Chair, quoted the following paragraphs from the
resolution establishing the Youth Board on June 30, 1977:
1. Assist county municipalities and agencies in identifying and meeting unmet needs of youth;
2. Assist in upgrading the quality of record keeping in the County so that adequate information can be
available for program planning and evaluation;
3. Assist in affecting coordination between and among youth serving agencies;
4. Assist in the County comprehensive plan thereby maximizing availability of services, state matching
fund capabilities, and the utilization of those funds within the County;
5. Assist county municipalities and agencies to be aware of and assist with applications for other state
and federal grants for youth programs.
Mr. Smith as a volunteer acts as the County's steward and oversees where and how County and
State funds are invested in helping youth and advancing the development of more vital communities.
Over 5000 children are served every year through youth bureau funding excluding those served through
the Recreation Partnership. As part of the Youth Board's 25th Anniversary, past and present participants
who have used the services funded by the County have been asked to attend Board meetings to speak
under privilege of the floor to share their stories about the services they have received.
Kenny Christianson, Chair of the Tompkins County Environmental Management Council Energy
Committee, spoke about the solar panels at the Library and the negative press reported last week in the
Ithaca Journal. He provided information he received from Powerlight on what the solar panels have been
doing. From January 1 -May 22, 2002, the energy output of the solar panels was 46,856.62 kWh which
represents 12.8 percent of the library's energy use during that period. Overall the system's availability
was 86 percent to May 22 with 100 percent availability from mid-February to May 22. The inverter fan
shut down on May 22, but now has been repaired. The predicted annual power output is 163,700 kWh.
From January to May, the system has produced 28.6 percent of the annual total. On average energy costs
were 11.16 cents per kWh. The value of energy produced through May 22, taking into account monthly
cost differences, is $5,156.84. This represents 12.3 percent of annual cost of money. Most of the
expected benefits will accrue in the summer months.

June 4, 2002
Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Representative, spoke about the notice received concerning the public
hearings on the proposed gas rate increase for New York State Electric and Gas (NYSEG). The proposal
is a six percent rate increase. It will be used to recapture lost revenue due to the current gas rate plan and
the rates and prices fluctuating on home gas prices to reflect the market rate. People who own and/or
manage income apartments are already paying for this called the "index adjustment" on the bill and on the
residential bills it is called a "transition surcharge". Comments may be sent to Public Service
Commission until June 17th as this rate increase will go into effect July 1St
Mr. Winch, District No. 8 Representative, said he will be withdrawing his resolution from the
agenda at the appropriate time concerning a reduction in Board Members' salaries. He explained the
intent of the resolution is to demonstrate to County employees and residents that the Board as a leader
would take a financial sacrifice. It appears at this time there is not enough support for the resolution, and
therefore he will be withdrawing it.
Ms. Kiefer, District No. 10 Representative, thanked Representative Proto for his comments and
asked for the information to contact Public Service Commission. In addition, Ms. Kiefer commented on
Representative Winch's resolution and said she had prepared a substitute to show Board members her
thoughts on the subject.
Ms. McBean, District No. 2 Representative, announced the Juneteenth celebration is being held
June 14, 15, and 16. Juneteenth celebrates the final emancipation of slaves. Southside Community
Center with a number of other agencies including the Ithaca Journal come together every year to plan this
celebration. In addition, she announced June 8th the Ithaca Neighborhood Housing Services will be
celebrating its 25th Anniversary and encouraged everyone to stop by their offices. The Office for the

No municipal official was in attendance.
Presentation - Vital Communities Initiative Interim Development and Preservation Principles
Ed Marx, Planning Commissioner, provided an overview of the Vital Communities Development
and Preservation Principles. Copies of a summary of principles, the process followed to develop them,
and the support information received from the community were made available to the Board. He
explained how the issues raised at the workshop by Board members were handled. One concern
expressed was the interpretation by the local municipalities of the principles as an intrusion by county
government into what is a town, village, or city responsibility. The resolution to be considered this
evening clearly addresses that concern and recognition that land -use regulation is a local municipal
responsibility and that the intention of the County adoption is in no way any infringement of that. There
was also some expression that there needs to be a continuation of dialogue about these principles. He said
the principles are identified in the resolution as interim principles that will continue to be discussed and
will be refined in the future if necessary. Mr. Marx said the intent is to continue the discussion through
the development of a County Comprehensive Plan which he anticipates being a two-year process.
Another concern expressed was to get more feedback from local, town, village, and city government
about their attitude toward County adoption of principles. With respect to that, Planning Committee
Chair Kiefer sent correspondence to all municipalities, and municipal planning boards in Tompkins
County in April specifically asking for their feedback. Responses to that request are provided in the
report. He commented that all resolutions received recommended the County Board adopt the principles.
172
June 4, 2002
A public meeting was held in April to hear comments concerning the principles and as a result of
that meeting, some minor modifications were made.
The intention is to use the interim principles as follows:
1. To evaluate existing County programs in terms of the degree to which they further the principles;
2. To evaluate the impact of future County actions in terms of the degree to which they further the
principles;
3. To form the basis for the preparation of a County Comprehensive Plan.
He feels the adoption of the principles will be a milestone in an ongoing process for the County
and municipalities.
Mr. Totman said he does not support this as he feels it is trying to direct the towns into doing
what the County wants them to do.
Presentation of Resolutions from the Planning Committee
RESOLUTION NO. 100 - MAKING A NEGATIVE DECLARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL
SIGNIFICANCE IN RELATION TO RESOLUTION NO. 101
OF 2002
MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Ms. Robertson. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes -
13, Noes - 1 (Representative Proto); Excused - 1 (Representative Lane). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, in Resolution No. 101 of 2002, the County Board of Representatives would adopt

is an unlisted action,
RESOLVED, further, That the Board of Representatives hereby makes a negative declaration of
environmental significance in regard to Resolution No. 101 of 2002.

RESOLUTION NO. 101- ADOPTION OF THE INTERIM VITAL COMMUNITIES
DEVELOPMENT AND PRESERVATION PRINCIPLES
MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Mr. Penniman. Ms. Kiefer reported that the Planning
Committee made one slight modification to the first principle, paragraph c, by adding "and structures"
after the words existing neighborhoods. Ms. Robertson expressed her appreciation for all the hard work
that has gone into this effort. Ms. Kiefer commented that there was no negative feedback from any
municipal body.
Mr. Booth spoke about a change he had urged the Committee to make concerning the
transportation principle. He requested language be added that the County maintain and enhance the safety
of the existing road network. He will support the resolution this evening and hopes the suggested
wording in the transportation principle will be added at a future meeting.
173
June 4, 2002
Mr. Proto spoke in opposition of the resolution as he has not heard overwhelming support from
the municipalities he represents. The concern is land -use control and that the County should proceed to
do what it should do. He is also concerned that the two Towns (Caroline and Danby) may not be aware of
the potential for a "hit" on their tax base because of some of the ideas that may evolve and the direction
this may go.
Ms. Blanchard also spoke about the road network as being one of the County's most important
transportation components. She also spoke about land use and said having served on boards in the past
that had land -use power, she would not encourage the County to pursue any such power.
Ms. Robertson reminded the Board that between 1992 and 1997, the County's population grew
1.5 percent. During the same period, the land taken up by the built environment, including roads,
buildings, houses, and businesses, grew by 35 percent. She does not feel the County wants to continue
that trend and feels this effort will help the County to enjoy the quality of life enjoyed during the previous
95 years.
A voice vote resulted as follows on the resolution: Ayes - 11; Noes - 3 (Representatives Proto,
Todd, and Totman); Excused - 1 (Representative Lane). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.

governments in land -use planning and regulation and the intermunicipal coordination role of County
Planning Agencies under New York State General Municipal law, and
WHEREAS, New York State General Municipal Law specifically authorizes and the Tompkins
County Charter specifically directs the development of a County Comprehensive Plan, now therefore be it

RESOLUTION NO. 105 - ESTABLISHMENT OF GUIDELINES AND FISCAL
TARGETS FOR ALL COUNTY BUDGETING UNITS FOR
THE PREPARATION OF THE 2003 BUDGET
MOVED by Mr. Penniman, seconded by Ms. McBean. It was MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded
by Ms. Robertson, to substitute the resolution by changing the percentage from 20 to 15 percent and
adding the following paragraphs:
"WHEREAS, county departments and agencies have already been asked for sample budget
scenarios to achieve a twenty percent decrease in their 2003 budgets, and
"WHEREAS, since that time departments have initiated certain 2002 savings and the Board of
Representatives have identified likely changes in its Capital Program projection, both of which will lessen
the need to continue to require a twenty percent target budget reduction, and". Ms. Kiefer said she was
motivated in part by the cloud of uncertainty and anxiety that hangs over staff because of the budget
situation.
Mr. Joseph read the following comments submitted by Representative Lane:
"If I were present, I would support the resolution to establish guidelines for the 2003 budget year
with a 20 percent fiscal target reduction. I would not support any amendment to reduce the percentage. I
fully realize that this step is difficult and serious and that it will cause substantial distress to many
department heads, employees, and recipients of County services. It causes me distress too. However, I
178
June 4, 2002
fully believe the Board must begin the budget process with this tool in place. We will have the heavy task
of reviewing substantial over target requests come Fall. We should wait for the regular budget process to
unfold before any restoration decisions are made. October is often full of surprises about unexpected
costs that the County will have to pay. We cannot make a full judgement about the budget until we have
the whole picture at that time."
Mr. Penniman spoke in favor of the 20 percent reduction as it will give the Board more flexibility
when it reviews the over -target requests and will help stimulate public input into the process.
Ms. Robertson stated that even though she opposed the 20 percent in Committee, she is now
ready to support it because the Budget and Capital Committee will review capital spending next. She
feels the additional Whereases in the proposed amendment are beneficial, but cannot support the 15
percent target reduction. Mr. Joseph said his concern with the Whereas' is it implies the situation is
getting better and he does not want to send that message.
A voice vote resulted as follows on the substitute resolution: Ayes - 1 (Representative Kiefer);
Noes - 13; Excused - 1 (Representative Lane). MOTION FAILED.
A voice vote resulted as follows on the resolution: Ayes - 13; Noes - 1 (Representative Kiefer);
Excused - 1 (Representative Lane). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Fiscal Policy specifies that a fiscal target is the maximum
amount of general revenue spending authority that a department head or program director may request
without initiating an Over -Target Request, and changes in fiscal targets should be communicated to
department heads and program directors as timely as possible in order for them to submit their budget
requests by July 5, 2001, and
WHEREAS, the Board of Representatives wishes to establish targets for departments and
agencies in preparing 2003 budget requests, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Capital Committee, That fiscal targets for all
budgeting units, excluding Tompkins Cortland Community College and Tompkins Consolidated Area
Transit, for preparation of the 2003 budget are hereby established as follows:
1. For not-for-profit agency grants, the amount approved in the 2002 adopted budget less any over -target
funding designated as one-time less any funds reappropriated from previous years less 20 percent of
the calculated local share.
2. For Towns and Villages applying for reimbursement for County -wide services, and for Human
Service, and Criminal Justice agencies receiving reimbursement pursuant to the Sales Tax Agreement
between the County and City of Ithaca, the fiscal target shall be equal to the current year
appropriation minus any one-time adjustments for prior years.
3. For all County departments, an amount equal to the general revenue portion of the 2002 adopted
County budget, less any over -target funding designated as one-time less any funds reappropriated
from previous years less 20 percent of the calculated local share.

CURRENT YEAR BUDGET
MOVED by Mr. Penniman, seconded by Mr. Booth, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by
members present.
179
June 4, 2002
WHEREAS, Tompkins County is experiencing increasing shortfalls in anticipated State and
Federal Aid, caseload increases in mandated services and a significant reduction in available surplus
funds, and
WHEREAS, it is evident that without procedures for an immediate reduction in spending in the
current and subsequent year's budgets the County will face a rise in property tax rates to an
unprecedented level, and
WHEREAS, Department and Agency Heads have begun to anticipate the impending fiscal
situation and take whatever steps they can to assist in achieving savings related to their specific program
areas, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Capital Committee, That for budget year
2002 the County Administrator shall work with department heads to identify potential savings in all
County departments,
RESOLVED, further, That the County Administrator is asked to work with program committees
and departments to identify an overall spending reduction goal of $1,000,000 and to monitor the progress
of departments toward meeting that goal, and to report on that progress periodically to the Budget and
Capital Committee.

RESOLUTION NO. 107 - REQUEST THE STATE OF NEW YORK TO EXAMINE THE
FUNDING OF THE EVOLVING HEALTHCARE SYSTEM AND
TO ASSUME THE COUNTY SHARE OF MEDICAID COSTS
MOVED by Mr. Penniman, seconded by Mr. Winch, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by
members present.
WHEREAS, the State of New York participates with and administers the Federally mandated
Medicaid Program, a healthcare initiative covering medically related expenses incurred by the
economically disadvantaged of the state, and
WHEREAS, the Counties of the State of New York fund, along with the State of New York, the
operations of the Medicaid Program, and
WHEREAS, New York is one of only two states that impose a share of these costs on counties,
and
WHEREAS, the Medicaid Program is apparently the default payer for many developing programs
of Health Insurance coverage, i.e.: Child -Health Plus, Family Health Plus, Early Intervention, Pre -K
Special Education Program, the Children with Special Healthcare Needs Program, and the ever-
expanding number of facilities and services, provided by Article 28 facilities which are licensed and
approved by the New York State Department of Health to provide health care and dental services in New
York State, and
WHEREAS, it has become evident that the number of these services, insurance programs, and
facilities is increasing, and will continue to increase under pressures to cover a wider scope of the
population of the State of New York and its needs, and
WHEREAS, information from the New York State Association of Counties indicates that county
governments throughout New York State will be mandated to assume new costs for the various medical
programs that would approach $400 million over a three-year period, and
WHEREAS, federal officials have stated in recent public pronouncements that the federal
government will not significantly increase Medicaid reimbursement to help defray the additional
expenses Counties face, and
WHEREAS, the current level of taxation of properties made necessary by Counties' operating
budgets under numerous State mandates is currently the single most identified deterrent to economic
growth and development of the Counties of this State, and
180
June 4, 2002
WHEREAS, the Medicaid share of the current total County property tax burden is now
approaching 38 percent, and
WHEREAS, the burden of Medicaid expenditures to help finance new health programs can no
longer be borne by the property taxpayers of Tompkins County, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Capital Committee, That the County of
Tompkins urges that the State of New York re-examine the fiscal results of funding this evolving
Healthcare System with an appropriate consideration given to the constraints and consequences of County
real property taxation,
RESOLVED, further, That the County of Tompkins urges that the State of New York, with no
undue delay, assume the County share of all Medicaid expenses,
RESOLVED, further, That the Clerk of this Legislature is hereby directed to forward a certified
copy of this resolution to the Governor of the State of New York, the Comptroller of the State of New
York, the Speaker of the Assembly, the Majority Leader of the Senate, Senator John R. Kuhl, Jr., Senator
James Seward, Assemblyman Martin Luster, the Board Chairs of all County Legislatures, New York

FROM PREVIOUS YEARS (RESCINDED BY RESOLUTION NO. 120
OF 2003)
MOVED by Mr. Penniman, seconded by Ms. McBean, and unanimously adopted by voice vote
by members present.
WHEREAS, the Fiscal Policy 05-02, Section 5.06 addresses the procedure by which certified
year-end funds may be appropriated for use by departments, and
WHEREAS, it has been the Board's intent to approve requests in order to provide departments
with flexibility through the elimination of artificial boundaries (such as year-end), to reward efficiencies,
and to eliminate incentives for "use it or lose it" spending practices, and
WHEREAS, this policy does not address procedures in the event that the Board denies a request
for use of unspent funds from previous years, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Capital Committee, That effective
immediately, it shall be the Board's intent to allow departments to have certified unspent funds remain
eligible from previous years when a requested specified use of the funds is denied,
RESOLVED, further, That the Fiscal Policy 05-02 be amended to reflect this intent.

Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Planninz Committee
Ms. Kiefer, Chair, said the Committee met this morning and reviewed budget scenarios for the
Soil and Water Conservation District and Cooperative Extension. She noted that both agencies do a good
job of leveraging the funds received from the County to bring in more funds. One reason Cooperative
Extension can provide services in a cost-efficient manner is that although the County pays the salary,
Cornell pays their fringe benefits. The Environmental Management Council Executive Committee
provided comments regarding the Planning Department's Charter Article and the suggested language was
agreed to by the Planning Department and endorsed by the Planning Committee. The Committee also
reviewed and acted on the recommendations of the Commercial Center program as presented in the
following two resolutions.

MOVED by Ms. Blanchard, seconded by Mrs. Schuler, and unanimously adopted by voice vote

Privilege of the Floor by the Public
Stephanie Isabel, Town of Dryden Resident, spoke on behalf of The Learning Web and the
positive experience she has had with them. As a senior she looked into the program and within two
weeks was given the opportunity to work at the Ithaca Journal. She spoke of the incredible experience
and opportunity it provided and how it made her aspirations of becoming involved in journalism a reality.
Bruce Estes, Managing Editor of The Ithaca Journal, told the Board that over the past five years
there have been student placements from The Learning Web and the Youth Employment Services (YES)
programs and it has been a successful experience. He spoke of the good experience provided to students
prior to making a financial commitment for their education. Mr. Estes said that Melissa Castillo-Garsow,
an intern currently with The Ithaca Journal, will be graduating next week, had received notification of full
scholarships from several schools. He believes that the experiences provided assists in making a career
decision and also indicates to potential educational institutions the student's strong desire to continue in
journalism.
Katie Williams, City of Ithaca resident, spoke of her interest in the mandate on jail expansion.
She expressed her support for the Alternatives to Incarceration Program and how it has the ability to assist
in all areas. Ms. Williams feels that it is important to separate the crime from the individual and utilize
Alternatives to Incarceration programs to assist in the rehabilitation process.
Fay Gougakis, City of Ithaca resident, came to the Board with the purpose of clarification and
apology regarding confusion on the jet ski law. She said that she had been informed that there was
legislation, and then heard otherwise. Ms. Gougakis said she now knows that the County is not the
appropriate level of government to pass legislation at this time; however, she feels the County still has an
obligation regarding the jet ski issue and needs to set an example. She said that she does not feel these
vehicles, that create a great deal of noise and do damage to water and shoreline, should be allowed.
Pete Meyers of Catholic Charities working as a community support coordinator for individuals in
a Welfare -to -Work program, spoke about the Tompkins County Living Wage Coalition where he is a
member of the steering committee. He explained the purpose of the Coalition is to strive to create a
society, locally, nationally, and internationally to ensure that no individual lives in poverty. He said this
will be achieved in part by creating living wages in a variety of jobs, campaigning for a welfare system
that assists individuals to become self-sufficient. Mr. Meyers thanked Ms. Herrera of the County Board
and Mr. Whitmore of Ithaca Common Council for their hard work with the Joint Working Group
comprised of members from the City of Ithaca, Tompkins County, and various other employment fields.
Mr. Meyers expressed his desire to increase the minimum wage in order to assist individuals to become
self-sufficient. He explained that the reason he is working with the Coalition to increase minimum wage,
as well as obtaining a livable wage through contracts is that individuals who due to reform are ceasing to
191
June 18, 2002
receive assistance through State and Federal welfare programs are not finding employment that will
sustain them beyond poverty level.
Privilege of the Floor by Board Members
Mr. Lane, District No. 14 Representative, spoke about economic development and how it seems
that for every step forward you must take two backward. He said one thing that occurred with the new
New York State budget was the imposition of new fees charged by the State for tax-exempt bonding
offered by Industrial Development Agencies. He said that these bonds are normally issued to new or
existing businesses to provide for the needed facilities during the initial start-up of a business. He said
that these fees were a surprise to individuals within the economic development community as they were
the result of an "eleventh -hour" decision made by three individuals in Albany. He noted that all fees were
raised at this time. Mr. Lane said that on recent local projects these fees would have ranged from an
additional cost to the developer of $2,000-$3,000 for a small project up to $400,000 - $500,000 on large
projects such as the recent Lake Source Cooling project. He did not feel that it sends the appropriate
message to businesses looking at New York for their business. He hoped that it is only a temporary
measure.
Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Representative, as Chair of the Water Resources Council (WRC),
replied to Ms. Gougakis' statements regarding jet skis by saying that although not a regular agenda item,
it has been addressed and a special committee is reviewing this subject. The WRC has asked the
committee to look into the matter and perhaps bring a recommendation with a draft resolution or draft
legislation for review and consideration by municipalities. He also said that the WRC plans to check with
others around the perimeter of the entire lake to receive their input regarding possible legislation. Mr.
Proto said that although no final determination has been made pending the information to be reviewed,
the group is leaning toward a ban on jet skis.
Mr. Lane was excused at 5:49 p.m.
Next, Mr. Proto provided an update on the New York State Electric and Gas Corporation's
(NYSEG) request for an increase to the Public Service Commission (PSC). He said that he sent material
to the PSC opposing the increase on both counts, or to postpone the matter until additional information
can be compiled.
Mr. Proto then said that he will be reviving the inter -connectivity charge with the telephone. He
said that Ms. Blanchard has heard of this as far away as California and it is his intention to look into the
matter further.
He then reported that on June 6, 2002, Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit (TCAT) started new
bus service around the County. Every municipality is now being served, including evening and weekend
service. He requested feedback from individuals on this extended service. Mr. Proto said that the
schedules have not yet been completed on the website; however printed schedules are available to
individuals.
Mr. Penniman, District No. 15 Representative, said that as the Representative for the west side of
the lake he encourages the WRC to continue with their review of jet skis and he offers his support when
all is ready.
Mrs. Schuler, District No. 4 Representative, reported on Saturday, June 29, 2002, from 11:00 a.m.
— 3:00 p.m. on The Commons will be Firefighter Appreciation Day to promote county -wide volunteer
firefighters. Information on firefighting methods and safety for the community as well as special
recognition of local firefighters will occur.

June 18, 2002
Ms. Robertson, District No. 13 Representative, wanted her constituents to know of the new bus
route in her district that runs between Cornell and Brooktondale. It operates once in the morning and
twice at the end of the workday. She noted that people have been enthusiastic about it, especially that
buses can be flagged down along the route.
Ms. Robertson said that Stephanie Isabel and Melissa Castillo-Garsow, are both Dryden residents
and expressed pride in the youth working with The Ithaca Journal.
Report from Municipal Official
No municipal official was in attendance.
Report from the Chair
Mr. Joseph reported on a Special Board Meeting held on Monday, June 17, 2002, to support the
legislation regarding a surcharge on wireless calls. This legislation allows a $.30 surcharge on cellular
telephones in order to support emergency 911 systems. He said that at the present time there is already a
surcharge that supports the State Police. He said that at the time it was logical that they receive support as
they were the agency both receiving and responding to emergency calls. He then said that over time
Counties have taken over the responsibility and have requested that the surcharge funding be funneled to
Counties. The Governor's budget had provision for this, but did not pass and State budget does not have
a provision either. Subsequently, information was received informally that the State legislature would
authorize individual County requests for a $.30 surcharge if received quickly. Mr. Joseph said that since
he felt it was important to receive revenue to support the emergency services of the County a meeting was
called and a resolution passed requesting approval. If it is passed by the State, this surcharge will begin in
August 2002.
Report from the County Administrator
Mr. Whicher reported that he has a preliminary report on savings to date for the current budget
year. He said that this information is preliminary and will be subject to change, either positive or
negative, throughout the year. At this time the savings is $1,377,000. Ms. Robertson inquired what could
happen that would reduce the savings. Mr. Whicher said this could happen as a result of the fluctuation
of reimbursements from the State, sales tax revenues, and other variables. Mr. Winch asked how would
the Board receive updates on these figures. Mr. Whicher said that the Budget and Capital Committee will
receive regular monthly reports, but he can provide whatever the Board would like. Mr. Winch asked for
more detailed information on where the savings are occurring. Mr. Whicher said that this is a preliminary
report and once completed and verified he will provide that information. Mr. Joseph asked that the entire
Board receive copies of this information when complete.
Mr. Proto spoke about an upcoming feature in County Corridors, the employee newsletter,
concerning the current budget situation. He said that regardless of how rough some comments might be
he would like to encourage employees to submit comments and suggestions. He said that it was an eye-
opener to him on ways the Board could perhaps be more involved. Mr. Whicher said that it is raw data
and opinions and not intended to be filtered and may not be the correct information. He noted that
responses from departments to clarify some of the items appearing would be good and that it is important
to recognize that this allows employees a place to express the wide range of emotions being experienced
at this time. Mr. Whicher said that the column will continue to appear and he anticipates that there will be
positive and constructive suggestions to provide a new perspective on the situation. Mr. Proto felt it is
good for Board members to hear from the employees. Mr. Whicher said that he and Mr. Joseph, Chair of
the Board, have written introductory articles as companion pieces.

June 18, 2002
Report from the County Attorney
Mr. Wood reported that a decision in the Evans vs. Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit has been
received. He said that the most important part of the decision was that the plaintiff may not receive
punitive damages against any party. He said that the end result is that any payment that may be owed
should fall within the confines of the insurance policy and not create any additional tax burden. Next, Mr.
Wood wanted to inform the Board of legal work done for the Highway Department. Mr. Wood explained
that road projects have previously had the legal work, particularly rights-of-way completed by the State.
The State no longer provides these services and effective this year the burden falls upon local
municipalities. Mr. Wood felt it was important for the Board to know of the additional burden this has
placed upon his employees, noting that this year they have already completed transactions on
approximately 110 parcels spread over each municipality of the County.
Mr. Todd inquired whether Mr. Wood had information on the delay for petitioning for the
upcoming elections. Mr. Wood did not have any information at this time. Mr. Joseph noted this is due to
the State redistricting plan.
Mr. Proto inquired whether the work Mr. Wood has completed is on State roads for the State's
benefit. Mr. Wood said that it is County roads, however the State had previously completed the rights-of-
way.
Mr. Booth inquired whether there was, or is anticipated to be, an increase in the premiums for the
County's liability policy as a result of claims such as the one Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit
mentioned. Mr. Wood said he it would and will provide more detail.
Report from the Finance Director
Mr. Squires had no report.

SEQR ACTION: TYPE 11-20
RESOLUTION NO. 135 - AMENDMENT TO THE 2002-2006 CAPITAL PROGRAM AND
AWARD OF BID - NORTH TRIPHAMMER ROAD
REHABILITATION AND BRIDGE REPLACEMENT (BIN 3314360)
MOVED by Ms. Blanchard, seconded by Mr. Todd. Mr. Proto inquired whether the increase in
the awarded bid amount was due to increased costs or expansion of the project. Ms. Blanchard explained
that this project was first estimated in 1993 and cost estimates had not been revised as the project
progressed. The Ithaca -Tompkins County Transportation Council met and discussed ways to avoid
inflationary increases on future projects to avoid this type of situation. This increase is simply due to
inflationary costs of the project. As a result of the increase changes have been made to create a funding
package that would allow the bid to be awarded and allow the work to progress. This was done by taking
funding from the Brooktondale Bridges Project and delaying work on the lower bridge in Brooktondale
until 2004-2005, using funds not expended on the right-of-way acquisition along North Triphammer
Road, and requesting $152,100 from the Contingency Fund. In addition, the New York State Department
of Transportation has agreed to fund an additional $134,000 to the project, with the County responsible
for five percent of that amount. Through the reconfiguration we are able to continue on these projects as
well as renegotiating the White Church Road approach. Ms. Blanchard also said that Senator Seward's
office has been contacted to request funding to replace funds lost in the CHIPS area as well as other ways
to seek funding and allow projects within the department to proceed. Mr. Penniman noted that this
203
June 18, 2002
resolution completes three things: first is the award of bid; second is amending the capital project; and last
is providing funds from the Contingent Fund. He thanked Ms. Blanchard for all the time spent in seeking
ways to proceed with these projects and noted that there was not another solution to allow this to happen.
Mr. Todd praised Ms. Blanchard for having brought the project this far and said he is happy with it. He
also said that the road was last rebuilt in 1963, at which time it was a country road without the mall,
Route 13, or many of the businesses that exist at the present time. Ms. Robertson asked if all
municipalities were involved. Ms. Blanchard said that she can't take credit for this solution and that it
was staff who worked to do so. She then expressed appreciation to Donald Barber, Supervisor of the
Town of Caroline, who has worked with those involved. Mr. Joseph said that although he prefers not to
utilize contingency funds, this project is a County road being reconstructed with 2.8 million in Federal
funds and .5 million in State funds, we cannot go ahead with it unless we authorize what it takes to
happen.
A roll call vote resulted as follows: Ayes — 14, Noes — 0, Excused — 1 (Representative Lane).
RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, Resolution No. 139 of 2001 authorized an agreement with the State of New York
whereby State and Federal sources will furnish 95 percent of the funding necessary to rehabilitate North
Triphammer Road and replace the North Triphammer Road bridge over Gulf Creek (BIN 3314300), and
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Finance Department has duly advertised for bids for the
project, and
WHEREAS, two (2) bids were received on June 3, 2002, and publicly read, and
WHEREAS, the low bid exceeded the amount authorized by Resolution No. 139 of 2001 by
$678,341.39, and
WHEREAS, the County Highway Manager has recommended partially offsetting this overrun by
shifting surplus funds from project right-of-way acquisition, performing a portion of construction
inspection with County staff, and deferring rehabilitation of the Lower Brooktondale Bridge until 2005,
the latter being part of the Brooktondale Bridges TEA -21 Project, and
WHEREAS, the Ithaca -Tompkins County Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) was
amended on June 18, 2002, to provide additional funding in accordance with the above recommendations,
now therefore be it

Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, Chair, said the Committee met on June 11, 2002, with most action being
either the resolutions being presented at this meeting, or in future meetings. He did say that the Public
Information Officer, Wendy Skinner, provided information relevant to the cancellation of the Public
Forum and the Committee is discussing different ways to receive information. Also discussed was the
possible reconfiguration of two small departments, STOP -DWI and Weights and Measures. A decision
was postponed pending an overall review of how we look at County government, ways to maximize
resources, the relationship of departments and possibly Cabinet structure. He said that the present fiscal
constraints are viewed as an opportunity to look at the possibilities. Also completed was a review of
small wording changes to the Charter Articles presented and the goals for the year.

FOR A DEFERRED COMPENSATION PROGRAM FOR THE
COUNTY OF TOMPKINS — PERSONNEL DEPARTMENT
MOVED by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, seconded by Mr. Booth. Mr. Proto said he would like to
provide the public the opportunity to know what the resolution involves. Mr. Koplinka-Loehr said that
the County offers a deferred compensation plan to employees and that changes in regulations would allow
employees to move more of their salaries to the plan if they choose. This resolution modifies the plan to
meet the model plan offered by New York State. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes — 14, Noes — 0,
Excused — 1 (Representative Lane). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.

Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Economic and Workforce Development
Operations Committee
Ms. Herrera, Vice Chair, noted that the Committee met on June 13, 2002. In the Chair's Report
Mr. Lane discussed publicity for Economic Development projects within the County and formed a
working group to look into the matter and return to the Committee with recommendations. Mr. Braun,
Director of the DeWitt Historical Society, provided information about his agency, the financial impact of
funding reductions, and the unique situation they are presently undergoing with the renovations of the
building that houses them. Mr. Braun also provided information about safeguarding the extensive
collection. The Joint Working Group is presently reviewing livable wages, project labor agreements, and
hiring practices. Ms. Herrera said that this group meets again on July 1, 2002, at 3:30 p.m. and will
discuss project labor agreements. Mr. Driscoll of the Community Arts Partnership spoke to the
Committee about his agency and provided information on the present website www.ithacaevents.com.
Mr. Driscoll said they are presently working on ticket purchasing on the web for events and that there
have been approximately 125,000 hits to this website monthly. The Community Arts Partnership is also
completing a community cultural assessment that began in September 2001 that will provide valuable
information for future planning. Mr. Stamm of the Tompkins County Area Development (TCAD)
addressed the subject of the tax-free bonding fees and the impact it will have on the community. Ms.
Armstrong then reported on the integrated sewer system and concerns regarding the Department of
Environmental Conservation's (DEC) intent to reclassify the lake and the impact on the project and the
area. It was thought that the public hearing time period was not long enough and TCAD drafted a letter to
DEC to request that they reopen the hearings. Lastly, a discussion occurred regarding Empire
206
June 18, 2002
Development Zones and the need to be prepared in the event one is awarded to the County. Presently
Tompkins County is ineligible for a zone and TCAD has sent a request for a waiver of present criteria as
the County employs many individuals from adjoining counties that have zones.
Mr. Penniman said that a zone would be beneficial and that the State picks up the cost of the tax
abatement incentives offered within a zone. Ms. Blanchard noted that all adjoining counties have a zone.
Ms. Kiefer inquired who would receive the newly imposed fees from the tax-free bonds and was informed
that the fees go directly to the State. Ms. Kiefer then addressed the issue of the integrated sewer system
and said that at a recent meeting DEC representatives indicated that by placing the lake on the 303 list it
should not effect the intermunicipal sewer project. Ms. Blanchard said that although the individuals
questioned may not have thought so the letter and concern is to clarify without a doubt that it would not
effect the project, as well as the possible negative effect on tourism. Ms. Blanchard will be providing
members of the Board with a copy of the letter mentioned in order to clarify the particular concerns. Mr.
Proto, Chair of the Water Resource Council, said that a request was made for a 303 review by the
Department of Environmental Conservation of the lower end of the lake as well as its tributaries. Mr.
Joseph inquired whether County bonding issues would now be charged a fee. Mr. Squires indicated he
did not think so and Ms. Herrera confirmed it was the IDA and Dormitory Authority bonds. The next
meeting of the Committee will be Thursday, July 11, 2002, at 2:00 p.m.
RESOLUTION NO. 138 - APPROVAL OF CONTRACT FOR STRATEGIC TOURISM PLAN
MOVED by Ms. Herrera, seconded by Mr. Penniman. Mr. Proto expressed concern that the
language in the fourth WHEREAS, implies that an outside individual would be making determination of
the way the funds were to be used. Ms. Herrera explained that the funds are to be used for a workshop
where this individual will facilitate the meeting. Mr. Penniman expressed his belief that there are a
number of diverse individuals fully capable of recommending items to assist in the tourism area. Mr.
Proto indicated it was not a question of the scope of work but rather the authority to authorize the
expenditure, that the authorization is reserved only for the Board. Ms. McBean said that the intent of the
resolution is to enable Strategic Tourism Planning Board to develop a plan but that the request to fund
future projects lies with the Board at the time they are to be implemented. Mr. Proto asked that the Board
members please be provided with the plan when completed.
A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes — 13, Noes — 1 (Representative Proto), Excused — 1
(Representative Lane). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.

Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Budget and Capital Committee
Mr. Penniman, Chair, reported that the Committee met twice since the last Board meeting. He
reported that the annual audit of the County has been completed and the report indicates that everything is
in order and no concerns were expressed. Mr. Penniman noted that the Finance Department is one that is
rarely mentioned, yet holds a very critical duty for the County. He expressed his belief that it would be
difficult to cut back significantly within the department without jeopardizing the extremely detailed tasks
completed, noting that there are other departments within the County in the same position. Next, he said
he had sent a memo to Committee Chairs and copied all Board members requesting that capital project
reviews take place as soon as is feasibly possible and forward them to the Budget Committee. Mr.
Penniman would like to have as much of the capital program area of the budget as possible completed
prior to the fall.

Honorable Sheldon Silver, Honorable James L. Seward, Honorable Martin Luster, Honorable Randy Kuhl
and the Honorable Joseph Bruno.

Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Public Safety Committee
Mrs. Schuler, Chair, said the Committee met on June 6, 2002. She reported on work done by the
Sheriff, Alcoholism Council, and Cornerstone Recovery to develop a program to increase participation
levels of inmates recommended for referral. Domestic Violence training is also being done as well as law
enforcement training highlighting the needs of older people and those with disabilities who experience
domestic violence. Mrs. Schuler provided figures on various public safety departments who have
attended training. The Felony Drug Court will be having a graduation ceremony on June 19, 2002, in the
Main Courthouse located at 320 North Tioga Street. The Committee will not have a regularly scheduled
meeting in July, but will meet if needed prior to the regular Board meeting July 2, 2002.
RESOLUTION NO. 142 - DESIGNATION OF COST SAVERS - 2003 BUDGET
MOVED by Mrs. Schuler, seconded by Ms. Herrera. Mr. Penniman noted that several other
programs were proposed for cost -saver status and the only two recommended to be presented to the Board
were the Offender Aid and Restoration Bail Program and Probation Alternative to Incarceration
Programs. Mr. Winch asked how a determination was made with regard to the Alternative to
Incarceration programs and was informed the three programs considered were SWAP, Pre -Trial release,
and RICS, a reduced incarceration program ordered by the judge in a case. Mr. Booth said he was in
opposition to the resolution, not the programs and explained that he did not believe that any department
should be singled out as "untouchable," particularly in such a tight budget year. Mr. Booth said he felt
many departments worked hard to save funds although they were not able to apply for, or had a strong
case for cost saver status. Ms. Blanchard expressed agreement with Mr. Booth. Mr. Penniman said he
would vote in favor of the cost savers as recommended based upon the strict set of rules required to
qualify. Mrs. Schuler said that a number of programs had been recommended and several had not proven
to save money. She said that perhaps the criteria be revisited at another time and urged that these
programs not be penalized. Ms. Robertson said that a reevaluation should include the consequence of
determining a cost saver as it appears there are programs that save money who did not apply, such as
EISEP which funds home care for the elderly in lieu of nursing home placement. Mr. Joseph said that he
did not feel cost -saver status should continue, however since it is presently in place he will support the
resolution. Mr. Totman said he would be voting against the resolution and feels that a determination
needs to be made to notify the public of programs to be cut. It was noted that the review indicated that
these programs do in fact save money and that it is only a portion of the total programs of these agencies
that come under the cost -saver status.
A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes — 7 (Representatives Herrera, McBean, Penniman,
Schuler, Kiefer, Robertson and Joseph); Noes — 6 (Representatives Proto, Blanchard, Todd, Totman,
Winch, and Booth); Excused — 2 (Representatives Koplinka-Loehr and Lane). RESOLUTION LOST.
WHEREAS, this Board on June 6, 1995, adopted recommendations of the Budget Review Task
Force of the Budget and Fiscal Policy Committee with respect to the criteria for Cost Savers and with
respect to the consequences of that status, and
WHEREAS, to be designated a Cost Saver a budgeting unit or a program must meet all of the
following criteria:
1. Only an entire program or budgeting unit may be designated;
210
June 18, 2002
2. The budgeting unit or program must provide services funded by general revenues or by the Solid
Waste Annual Fee;
3. By providing those services, the budgeting unit or program must clearly reduce County spending in
the County budgeting unit(s), or increase revenue to the general fund or to the Solid Waste Fund;
4. The amount of savings or increased revenues must equal or exceed the total amount of general
revenues or Solid Waste Annual Fee revenues of the entire designated program or budgeting unit;
5. The savings from providing the proposed services must be achieved within the same fiscal year or
within the following two (2) fiscal years;
6. A reduction in services in the designated budgeting unit or program would result in a net increase in
costs to Tompkins County; and
WHEREAS, budget makers have requested Cost Saver designation for various programs, now
therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Public Safety and Budget and Capital Committees, That
the following programs of County government are hereby designated to be Cost Savers for the 2003

THE TRANSPORTATION LAW TO EXCLUDE DRIVERS OF
UTILITY TRUCKS FROM "HOURS OF SERVICE" RESTRICTIONS
MOVED by Mrs. Schuler, seconded by Mr. Booth. Mrs. Schuler explained that this was to waive
the "hours of service" regulations for utility truck drivers such as employees of New York State Electric
and Gas Corporation. She said that due to the emergency nature of their work it would allow them to
continue in service during emergencies. Ms. Kiefer said that she would request the removal of paragraphs
that pertain to anything other than the hours driving. Mr. Winch said that in essence it seems good but
voiced concerns about the safety issues involved when an individual has put in many hours. Mr. Joseph
said that he had checked with individuals within the local utility company as well as the union involved
and both are in support.
A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes — 11, Noes 2 (Representatives Totman and Winch),
Excused — 2 (Representatives Koplinka-Loehr and Lane). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, utility trucks are currently defined as "motor trucks" under New York State law,
requiring drivers to comply with "hours of service" regulations prescribed by the New York State
Department of Transportation, and
WHEREAS, Section 214 of the Transportation Law was designed to prohibit persons from
driving motor trucks for extended periods of time without sufficient rest, and
WHEREAS, utility truck drivers spend approximately twelve percent of their time driving the
vehicles, as their primary task is the installation, repair, and restoration of utility services for the public,
and
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Public Safety Committee, That the Tompkins County
Board of Representatives supports the New York State Legislative Bill A9747B/S6182B — Amending

MOVED by Mrs. Schuler, seconded by Mr. Proto. Mrs. Schuler said that this provides a service
that searches for revenues available to the Sheriffs office and receives a contingency fee of twenty
percent of revenues received. Mr. Meskill said that many public safety offices utilize this service that is
strictly for Federal entitlements. Mr. Whicher said he was in support of this resolution. Ms. Robertson
inquired how much staff time would be used in this process and Mr. Meskill replied that their records will
be made available to the company for their review.
A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes — 13, Noes 0, Excused — 2 (Representatives Koplinka-
Loehr and Lane). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the Sheriff Department's current programs may be eligible for Federal funding, and
WHEREAS, Justice Benefits, Inc. (JBI), is a nationally known company that has expertise in
seeking out additional Federal entitlement funds, and has claimed over a total of $1.5 million in new
revenues for thirty-one New York State Counties, and
WHEREAS, JBI specializes in Federal revenue maximization for State and local political entities,
and has the technology and manpower to research and access Federal funding opportunities, and
WHEREAS, JBI can review the policies and procedures used by the Sheriff's Office to identify
additional Federal and other revenue sources, if any, that may be available to the County through
participation in new programs or expansion of the existing Federal Financial Participation, now therefore
be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Public Safety Committee, That the County be authorized
to enter into a multi-year contract with Justice Benefits, Inc., of Dallas, Texas, commencing June 15, 2002
through June 14, 2004, with the option to terminate the contract for any reason,

Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Space Needs and Location Committee
Mr. Joseph, Chair, said that at the last meeting Welliver McGuire reviewed options previously
made available to the Committee. He said that they then brought forth a new option to raze the Old
Library and construct a new County office building in its place. He said that on the surface it was
comparable cost, however, a review showed that while it would place offices in proximity it did not have
the comparable square footage to what the previous options were. A meeting will take place next week
on Thursday to provide a comparative analysis using consistent square footage measures, to better
compare all options. Mr. Winch asked if it was only for records storage. Mr. Joseph said that it was not
for records only and that various options for many departments being consolidated are being considered.

Report from the Charter Review Committee
Ms. Kiefer, Member, reported that the Committee met the first Thursday of the month and
reviewed the revision to the Planning Department Article as well as several revisions to the Public Works
Article. She also reported that a discussion took place regarding the official name of the Board,
referencing a memo to Board members from Chair Lane regarding the subject. The question had been
posed in this memo whether the Board, which is comprised of legislators, should perhaps be known as a
County Legislature or Board of Legislators. Ms. Kiefer said that the Committee is looking to receive
feedback on this matter. She said that she believes that since the group is already known as a Board and a
great deal of the laws and minutes refer to the Board, she prefers Board of Legislators. Ms. Schuler noted
that the word County should appear. A straw poll was taken between Legislature or Board of Legislators
that indicated nine for Legislature and four for Board of Legislators.
Mr. Proto inquired on the resolution that will be brought forward regarding special elections in
the event of a vacancy. Ms. Kiefer said that there had been discussion to change it from appointment by
the Town to a direct election of the people in a special election, and this will be brought forward.

Room. She reported that today, June 18, 2002, at noon a pre-bid meeting took place with a number of
potential vendors who may be bidding on the Public Safety Communications System upgrade. Ms.
Blanchard was pleased at the turnout and felt that it was going well.
Report from the Fiscal Management Committee
Mr. Joseph, Chair, said that the Committee met and reviewed a number of requests to fill

Privile2e of the Floor by the Public
Fay Gougakis, City of Ithaca, voiced concern about the City of Ithaca's public input process
relating to the Cayuga Green project. She said most of the meetings that have been open to the public
have not offered an opportunity for discussion or input by the public. She said she is an avid bicyclist and
has not been able to voice her concern about traffic consequences the project will have. Ms. Gougakis
asked the Board to contact the City of Ithaca Mayor and Common Council members to let them know that
the lack of public participation is not acceptable.
Terry Harbin, Newfield resident and employee of the Tompkins County Public Library, presented
the Board with two videotapes that he has produced. One was about the solar panels on the roof of the
Library and is entitled "Tompkins County Shines"; the other is a documentary about the making of the
new Library. Mr. Harbin said the videos will be aired on the Local Government Access Channel and are
available to any Board member. Mr. Harbin also thanked the Board for constructing the Library and said
that he appreciates his workspace and the atmosphere at the new Library.
Sheriff Peter Meskill introduced Captain Larry Jackman of the New York State Police. Mr.
Jackman was recently assigned to handle the zone that includes Tompkins County. Mr. Jackman thanked
the Sheriff for the introduction and said he is committed to continuing the cooperation that exists between
the Sheriffs Office and the State Police. Mr. Jackman explained the area the State Police covers and the
composition of his unit. He said all members of the State Police are committed to providing professional
and efficient law enforcement services and eliminating any duplication of services that may exist. Mr.
Jackman said he is originally from Tompkins County and is pleased to be returning to the area. He said
his door is always open and he welcomes any County Board member to discuss any issue that may arise.
Privile2e of the Floor by Board Members
Ms. Kiefer, District No. 10 Representative, announced she received a notice from the
Environmental Management Council Coordinator regarding the seismic survey for gas drilling that will
be done. The survey is to begin on State lands on July 8 and should be on County lands by July 10. She
said Heather McDaniel is working on putting together information on how best to view the testing and
will be letting her know. Ms. Kiefer said if any Board member would like to join her in going they
should let her know.
Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Representative and Chairman of the Water Resources Council, said he
received a letter from the Department of Environmental Conservation today regarding the southern end of
Cayuga Lake. The letter was in response to a concern about potential impairment and they have agreed to
list the southern end of the lake as an impaired water body and will begin to study it.
215
July 2, 2002
Mr. Proto also reported on the NYSEG rate proposal and announced the PSC (Public Service
Commission) has decided not to grant the increase. He said although this is good news, they have asked
NYSEG to start over and come up with a plan that would institute the rate increase at a slower pace. Mr.
Proto said if anyone is interested or has a concern about the tremendous amount of money that is being
spent on natural gas, to join the protest at the PSC level.
Mr. Lane, District No. 14 Representative, said he toured the Commons last weekend and
observed many wonderful displays put on by fire companies from throughout Tompkins County. He said
it was a very fine showing from a group of safety -conscience professionals in this community. Mr. Lane
said one of the things that troubled him in his discussions with those individuals was the general level of
anxiety that exists regarding the state of the County's public safety communications system. Mr. Lane
said the County is proceeding with all -due speed toward a replacement of that system, but there is a need
to continually reinforce to those people on the front lines that it is indeed moving forward. Mr. Lane also
spoke of the federal and state courts and a ruling made this past week. At the State level, the affirmative
decision in the lawsuit to declare the current state -aid formula used in the public school system
unconstitutional was reversed by a vote of 4-1 at the Appellate level. He said although he hasn't had an
opportunity to read the decision, the area that is most troubling is the portion that states that New York
State only has an obligation to educate its students to approximately a ninth -grade level. He said he hopes
the Court of Appeals will have a better view of this when it is appealed. Mr. Lane said another sad
decision was from the United States Supreme Court in which a system of vouchers was upheld. He said
this will undoubtedly take money away from the public school system and funnel it into private,
parochial, and other schools at the expense of those in rural school districts who do not have a choice in
schools.
Ms. Robertson, District No. 13 Representative, said she also attended the display on the
Commons this past weekend that was put on by firefighters. She spoke of a competition that was held
and said she was amazed to see what these individuals are capable of doing. She also stated she was very
impressed to see a woman, Christine Bowen of Newfield, compete and finish the course.
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, District No. 11 Representative, wished Representative Winch a happy
birthday.
Report from Municipal Official
Hon. Donald Barber, Town of Caroline Supervisor, reported to the Board that the Town of
Caroline has entered in to a contract with the U.S.G.S. to analyze the aquifers in the Town. He said they
have done this because whoever buried the water lines did it without telling the Town where they were or
how they are fed. Mr. Barber said they are currently trying to leverage money from the New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation which has a mandate to identify all the aquifers in the State.
He said although he realizes the County is in a difficult financial state, the Town would appreciate any
assistance that could be provided. Mr. Barber reported the New York State Association of Towns and
the Local Roads Program recently conducted an annual highway -schooling program. At that event he
was approached by a member of the DEC who told him that a group of highway superintendents would
have a great deal of power if they were to unite and go to Albany. Mr. Barber said after thinking about
this statement that if all County Boards were to get together and travel to Albany to let legislators know
about problems at the local level it may be well worth the time. He said it is time that the State hear that
the local taxpayers cannot absorb any more unfunded mandates and shifts to property tax base.
Hon. Catherine Valentino, Town of Ithaca Supervisor, agreed with Mr. Barber that it is much
more worthwhile to join together as groups rather than travel to Albany as individuals. She said every
year the Association of Towns sends a resolution and some lobbyists to Albany to discuss the unfunded
mandates, but believes it may be advantageous to send a coalition of both town and county officials. She
said a message needs to be delivered to Albany that these unfunded mandates are impacting everyone.
Ms. Valentino said at the last Municipal Officials Association meeting, everyone understood the County's
216
July 2, 2002
financial problems and they want to work cooperatively to make things run smoother. Ms. Valentino
said at that meeting a resolution was passed that requests the Board to reconsider the Municipal Officials'
proposal about the temporary planning committee. She said she believes there hasn't been clear
information as to what they are asking for. She said they are asking for a group of officials from the
towns, City, and County, to come together for no more than six meetings to examine information that
already exists (minutes, records), and interview individuals who were part of the Planning Federation and
Planning Board. They would then try to glean from them what made them participate and what made
them stop coming in the end. From that information this temporary group would make a
recommendation to the Board on how a new entity might function and do so successfully. She said they
strongly believe this type of group could only be helpful and would make the Vital Communities Program
more successful.
Chair Joseph asked Representative Kiefer to take this request to the Planning Department.
Presentation of Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)
Sigrid Kerr, Director of Patient Services for the Health Department, provided the Board with the
following presentation:
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA):
Impact on Tompkins County Departments
Processing health-related information
Overview
HIPAA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (Public Law 104-191)
authorized the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to develop a set of standards and
requirements to more securely protect health care information. Enforcement of these standards will
essentially work to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of healthcare delivery by means of tighter
regulation regarding the protection, security, and confidentiality of electronic health care information.
Snecifics
HIPAA regulates 4 general security practices in order to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and
availability of individual health care information. A description of the (minimum) practices include:
1) Electronic health transaction standards,
2) Unique Identifiers,
3) Security and electronic signature standards, and
4) Privacy and confidentiality standards.
-Electronic Health Transaction Standards -
Today, health care providers and health plans that perform any type of electronic transaction use a
variety of different documentation formats when conducting business. For health care claims alone
there are presently over 400 different formats in use. With the inception of national standards for the
electronic exchange of administrative and fmancial health care information, health care providers will
be able to submit the same transaction to any health plan in the United States knowing that it will be
accepted. Health plans will be able to send standard electronic transactions such as remittance forms
and referral authorizations to health care providers. All private sector health plans and government
health plans, all health care clearinghouses, and all health care providers that choose to submit or
receive these transactions electronically will be required to use the same (HIPAA) standards.
-Unique Identifiers -
Employers, (National) Providers, Health plans, and individuals alike will all be assigned specific and
unique Identifying numbers (1Ns). Employer identifying numbers will reflect the taxpaying
identifying number assigned to them by the IRS. Currently, each health plan assigns numbers to
217
July 2, 2002
health care providers -individuals, groups, or organizations that supply health care. National Provider
Identifiers (NPI) will be unique for each provider and each health plan will use the same NPI for that
provider. How individual identifiers will be assigned has not yet been decided. Adequate security
and privacy measures must be in place first to ensure no loss in privacy or security occurs with the
inception of the individual identifier.
-Security and Electronic Signature Standards -
These standards mandate policies and procedures for physical storage and maintenance, readmission,
and access to individual health information. The electronic signature will provide a reliable method
of assuring message quality, user authentication, and non -repudiation (barring against the refusal of
entities to acknowledge or pay a debt). Implementation will depend on a number of factors including
the department, the technology they currently use, and the risks to - and vulnerabilities of - the
information it must protect. For example, alcohol and substance use, mental illness and HIV/AIDS
health information all require higher confidentiality standards.
-Privacy and Confidentiality Standards -
Covered entities must establish appropriate policies and procedures in order to protect the privacy of
their clients' health information. Employees of these facilities will need initial and ongoing training
in order to understand privacy procedures. Health care workers must limit the use of, disclosure of,
and requests of protected health information to the minimum necessary to accomplish the intended
purpose. Violators will be held accountable, with civil and criminal penalties that can be imposed if
they violate patients' privacy rights.
Compliance Date
October 16, 2002 was the original deadline for covered entities to fully comply with HIPAA standards.
In December 2001, the Administrative Simplification Compliance Act (ASCA) extended this deadline to
October 16, 2003 for all covered entities other than small health plans (whose deadline was already
October 16, 2003). In order to qualify for this extension, covered entities must submit a compliance plan
by October 15, 2002.
Penalties
Failure to comply with HIPAA regulations may result in the following:
• $100 fee for each violation
• Maximum of $25,000 per year for each requirement
Penalties for Wrongful Disclosure of information will include:
• Per each offense - fined not more than $50,000 and/or imprisonment up to one year
• Under false pretenses - fined no more than $100,000 and/or imprisonment up to five years
• With intent to sell, transfer, or use - fined up to $250,000 and/or imprisonment up to ten years
Conclusion
All Tompkins County Departments handling health-related information will need their statistical,
accounting and clinical software and hardware reviewed and possibly upgraded in order to meet HIPAA
standards. And, policies, procedures and training regarding the safety and security of patient health
information will need to meet these rigorous standards. The implementation of these standards will
provide a higher standard of protection for the integrity and confidentiality of our clients' personal health
information.
Following the presentation Mr. Booth asked if there was a way this could be looked at
systematically to see if there is a standard that can be achieved by everyone. Ms. Kerr said Greg Potter,
Director of Information Technology Services, has been working on this. Mr. Whicher said although this
will impact many County departments, the Health Department is taking the lead on this. He said this new
requirement comes at a bad time but there is a blueprint to handle this that already exists and stressed they
218
l
July 2, 2002
would not be "reinventing the wheel". Mr. Joseph said this is a very overwhelming requirement. He said
not only is the County required to comply, but it is responsible to make sure everyone with whom the
County shares information is also compliant.
Chair's Report
Mr. Joseph reported he attended a press conference today with Senator Charles Schumer who was
in town to speak about school funding for certain Medicaid -reimbursable services for children with
disabilities. Mr. Joseph said approximately a year ago the federal government said that local school
districts have been using the money improperly and might have to pay it all back, which meant four to
five million dollars to the Ithaca City School District. Mr. Joseph said the issue is that the federal
government, which provided the money, also provided unclear guidelines. The State then clarified the
guidelines for the local school districts which proceeded according to those guidelines and which now
face criminal charges. Senator Schumer said in his discussions with the Justice Department they advised
him they have put their investigation on hold until December. Senator Schumer also stated if anyone is
at fault, it is the federal government for issuing vague guidelines and then the State for improperly
interpreting them. Mr. Joseph said the reason he is reporting this to the Board is because it also involves
the County. Since the Health Department is responsible for education of handicapped children aged three
to five, the County is also involved. Senator Schumer said he would look into that, and make sure that
any resolution on behalf of the school districts also covers counties.
Mr. Joseph said the Senator also spoke about air service in central New York. The Senator, who
has a long history of trying to promote increased air service in Upstate New York, has met with the new
President of U.S. Airways who is seeking a federal loan guarantee of a couple billion dollars. The
Senator told U.S. Airways he could be supportive, and that Central New York was in need of better air
service. The President was sympathetic to this statement and provided the Senator with a much more
promising response than in the past. Ms. Blanchard was asked to follow-up on this with the President of
U.S. Airways.
Report from the County Administrator
Mr. Whicher said he distributed several documents to the Board this evening, including a
summary of New York State Budget highlights that was prepared by the New York State Association of
Counties, a one-page budget analysis by Comptroller McCall, a summary of news articles about what has
been going on around the State, and a summary of how different counties are dealing with the budget
situation. Mr. Whicher said he also distributed an analysis that NYSAC put together about the shift in
Medicaid. He referred to a chart and said while it is typical to have large increases each year, Tompkins
County's share will triple this year. Mr. Whicher said the idea of having the towns and counties join
together to travel to Albany to campaign against these large shifts to the taxpayer is a good idea and is
currently being discussed by NYSAC.
Report from the County Attorney
Mr. Wood reported on an article that appeared in the Ithaca Journal on June 201 relating to a case
in which the Appellate Division had affirmed a State Supreme Court case dismissing a lawsuit against the
County. The lawsuit alleged negligence in maintaining a County road had contributed to an accident.
Mr. Wood noted the County gets a lot of cases where there are traffic accidents on County roads and for
one reason or another, it is becoming very typical for the County to be sued.
Report from the Finance Director
Mr. Squires reported that now that the State Budget has been adopted, the State has forwarded
Tompkins County's 2002 revenue sharing allocation of $194,000. He said part of the agreement to have
revenue sharing was in response to counties assuming additional health care costs with the institution of
219
July 2, 2002
the Child Health Plus program. Mr. Squires also reported on sales tax revenues, and said receipts are
much stronger than were expected. At the end of May, the County had received $1.4 million more than it
had this time last year. He also reported the County will be holding a sale on July 13 to clean up the
items that have been moved to the Old Public Library. Items for sale include scrap metal, furniture, and
computers. The Triphammer Road bridge project has begun and he is proceeding to issue a revenue
anticipation note to finance the project while it is under construction. Bids for those notes should be
received approximately the third week in July.
Mr. Joseph said revenue-sharing was initially supposed to be a "trade-off' for the Child Health
Plus program which was expected to have substantial rising costs each year. In each year's budget, the
amount allocated for revenue sharing was to go up to cover those costs. He stated it was made clear in
this year's budget process that in year four revenue sharing amount goes to zero, while the Child Health
Plus program does not go away.

SEQR ACTION: TYPE II- 2
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Public Works Committee
Ms. Blanchard, Chair, reported the Committee met on June 20. The Committee heard a
presentation on the operation of the solar panels at the Tompkins County Public Library. She said it
appeared most of the problem areas have been worked out and the system is functioning so that a full
222
July 2, 2002
year's worth of data should be received and can be compared with projections that were made. Ms.
Blanchard said the Committee also heard a presentation from Taitem Engineering and representatives of
the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority's Flex Tech program. This is the same
consulting group that is working with the architect on the 911 building schematic design to offer
suggestions for energy savings. The presentation had to do with County buildings and how they might be
able to help under the provisions of a special NYSERDA grant. They noted the County is spending
approximately $2.21 per sq. ft. for utility costs on County buildings, which is high. They felt the County
could be doing better than that and the Committee felt the County should be participating in the Flex Tech
program on a couple of different levels. The first would be to have those consultants identify some fast
paybacks and low-cost options that could be implemented very quickly. They were also asked to develop
a proposal that would take an in-depth look at a sample of County properties so that they could be in a
position to recommend some more aggressive options for energy savings.
Ms. Blanchard said the Committee also reviewed the Airport Capital project and heard a
presentation from the Solid Waste Manager on programs being offered by the Solid Waste Division. Ms.
Eckstrom reported to the Committee that recycling revenues are down by approximately $10,000 for the
first quarter; however, a substantial increase in activity was observed in May. A special meeting will be
held on July 3 to review capital projects.
RESOLUTION NO. 151 - AUTHORIZING A PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED LOCAL LAW
NO. 4 OF 2002 — RULES AND REGULATIONS AND MINIMUM
STANDARDS — ITHACA TOMPKINS REGIONAL AIRPORT
MOVED by Ms. Blanchard, seconded by Mr. Todd, and unanimously adopted by voice vote.
WHEREAS, the Board of Representatives last adopted rules and regulations for the Tompkins
County Airport in 1986 by local law, and
WHEREAS, minimum standards for the Airport have never officially been published, and
WHEREAS, it is desirable to have only the most basic Airport rules and regulations adopted by
local law and to provide the County Airport Manager authority to draft and set Minimum Standards and
Comprehensive Rules and Regulations that the Board of Representatives act on by simple resolution, now
therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Public Works Committee, That a public hearing be held
by the Board of Representatives on July 16, 2002 at 5:30 o'clock in the evening thereof at the Board
Chambers of the Tompkins County Courthouse, 320 North Tioga Street, Ithaca, New York, concerning
proposed Local Law No. 4 of 2002 - Rules and Regulations and Minimum Standards at the Ithaca
Tompkins Regional Airport. At such time and place all persons interested in the subject matter will be
heard concerning the same,
RESOLVED, further, That the Clerk of the Board is hereby authorized and directed to place
proper notice of said public hearing in the official newspapers of the County and to make available said
proposed Rules and Regulations and Minimum Standards to all persons interested in same, at the Board
offices during normal business hours.
SEQR ACTION: TYPE II -20
Report from the Planning Committee
Ms. Kiefer, Chair, reported the Committee met on June 20 and heard a report from the
Environmental Management Council about a presentation they had received from Community Energy.
She said Community Energy is a company that is partnering with New York State Electric and Gas to
promote wind power in New York State. Ms. Kiefer said they were asking the EMC to help them by
taking the lead in getting people to sign up for this and the EMC referred the request to the Energy
Committee. She said there was also a question of whether MEGA (Municipal Electric and Gas
Association) might invest some of its earnings in a wind project.
223
July 2, 2002
Ms. Kiefer said the EMC expressed concern over a report at an Ithaca Town Board meeting that
the consultant the Town had hired to review Lakesource Cooling data had been unable to obtain the
needed raw data from the monitoring. She said the EMC is taking no action, pending the Town of Ithaca
following-up on this. The Committee also heard from Kate Hackett that the Water Resources Council is
taking up the issue of jet skis on Cayuga Lake. They are now pursuing a dual approach to the question;
one deals only with jet skis (noise, water, air pollution, near -shore habitat damage, and speed and safety
issues), and the other track will be dealing more generally with two-stroke engine pollution.
Ms. Kiefer reported the Committee received the Planning Department's recommendation about
purchase of development rights and discussed the next steps to be taken. As a result of the discussion she
wrote a letter to the Agriculture and Farmland Protection Board requesting they make use of the criteria in
the consultant's report to develop their own guidelines to review applications for purchase of development
right and make recommendations that they will be sending to New York State. The letter also indicated
the Planning Department is available to facilitate PDR efforts that cross municipal boundaries and asked
that that Board be part of a continuing discussion about what entities might hold easements and be
responsible for monitoring. Although the Committee is not recommending a County PDR program at
this time, this should be re-evaluated as part of the comprehensive plan review. Ms. Kiefer said at that
meeting the Committee received an update on the Department's budget. There are two changes since the
earlier report: tourism will not be returning to the planning Department but will stay in County
Administration; this leaves a hole in the Department's budget, which will be partially filled by revenue
from the Solid Waste Division for helping update the Solid Waste Management Plan. She said Committee
members also agreed the budget for the Agriculture and Farmland Protection Board should remain a line
item in the Planning Department. She reported that the Planning Department recently underwent a HUD
audit - the first in more than ten years and results were very positive.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Government Operations Committee
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, Chairman, reported the Committee has not met since the last Board
meeting.
RESOLUTION NO. 152 - ADOPTION OF LOCAL LAW NO. 3 OF 2002 - ELECTING A
RETIREMENT INCENTIVE PROGRAM AS AUTHORIZED BY
CHAPTER 69, LAWS OF 2002, FOR THE ELIGIBLE EMPLOYEES
OF THE COUNTY OF TOMPKINS
MOVED by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, seconded by Mr. Proto. Ms. Kiefer feels offering this every
year removes its uniqueness as an incentive; therefore, she will not support it. A voice vote resulted as
follows: Ayes - 14, Noes - 1 (Representative Kiefer). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, New York State is again offering a retirement incentive plan, and
WHEREAS, Tompkins County wishes to offer its incentive to its employees, and

the retirement system that results from an early retirement, in addition to the department's regular Fringe
Pool obligation,
RESOLVED, further, That departments shall be obligated to return to the general fund balance of
the County (through a reduced fiscal target) an amount equal to the difference between the state -mandated

RESOLUTION NO. 153 - ESTABLISHING ANNUAL SALARY FOR THE POSITIONS OF
COUNTY CLERK AND SHERIFF FOR THE YEARS 2003, 2004,
2005, AND 2006
MOVED by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, seconded by Mr. Booth. Mr. Proto said he had intended to
suggest that this resolution be postponed. However, after reading a memorandum from County Attorney
Wood he does not feel it can be delayed. He expressed concern about the implications during these
difficult budget times and said the Board should proceed cautiously when considering any salary
increases. Mr. Winch said he is bothered that this resolution is being brought forward at a time when the
County is in such a difficult budget situation. He spoke of the process the Board went through several
years ago that was aimed at improving the employee retention rate. He said that worked well and the
County now enjoys a good retention rate because it pays well and provides good benefits. He said at this
point the Board needs to consider freezing all salaries. Mr. Penniman noted it is important to make a
decision now so candidates will now the salaries. He hopes we can achi8eve some freeze such as zero
percent for one year. Ms. Kiefer said she would support a one-year salary freeze, but also said seeing pay
increases tied to the rate of inflation adds a good tool to our ways to set salaries, and ideally would be a
rolling average of the inflation index. Mr. Koplinka-Loehr provided the Board and public with a history
of this proposal. Mr. Lane noted this is not the original proposal that contained large increases for
adjustments because of classification of positions.
It was MOVED by Mr. Proto, seconded by Mr. Winch, to postpone this resolution to the second
meeting in September. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 2 (Representatives Proto and Winch);
Noes - 13. MOTION FAILED.
A short roll call vote on the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes - 13, Noes - 2 (Representatives
Proto and Winch). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, State law requires this Board to establish salaries for the positions of County Clerk
and Sheriff, and County Administrative Manual Policy 04-06 states that this action occur prior to the time
when candidate petitions may lawfully be passed, and the County Attorney has advised that it is sufficient
to establish such salaries prior to the start of the term of office, consistent with State Law, and
WHEREAS, during 1999-2002 the County Clerk's salary was increased 2.9-3.0 percent each year
and the Sheriff's salary increased 1.5 percent, resulting in 2002 salaries as follows:
County Clerk - $52,998 Sheriff - $65,699
WHEREAS, it is the intention of this board to tie the salary increase for these two elective
positions for the four-year term 2003-2006 to inflation using a standard based on the Federal
Government's Consumer Price Index (CPI), plus an additional $500 each year that will be come part of
the base pay of that year, and
WHEREAS, the Federal Government's Consumer Price Index (Northeast Urban Area, including
All Items) for 1999 was 2.1 percent, for 2000 was 3.4 percent and for 2001 was 2.8 percent, giving an
average for the last three full years of 2.77 percent, now therefore be it
, and
225
July 2, 2002
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Government Operations Committee, That the salaries
for the positions of County Clerk and Sheriff for the years 2003-2006 are hereby established as reflected
in the chart below, based on inflation as represented by the average of three most recent full years Federal
CPI, namely a 2.77 percent annual increase, plus an extra $500 to be added to the annual base salary, for
each year.
COUNTY CLERK SHERIFF
2002: $ 52,998 2002: $ 65,699

Report from the Economic and Workforce Development Committee
Mr. Lane, Chairman, reported the Committee has not met. The next meeting will be July 11 at 2
p.m.
Report from the Budget and Capital Committee
Mr. Penniman, Chairman, reported the Committee met last week and the main item discussed was
an overview of capital projects and the structure of payments for those projects. At the next meeting the
Committee will be looking at projects in more detail, starting with the County space project. Mr.
Penniman requested program committees to begin looking at programs that may be at risk based on what
is known so far about the budget. He said it makes sense to continue looking at these programs and try to
develop questions and determine what information is going to be needed during the decision-making
process.
Report from the Public Safety Committee
Mrs. Schuler, Chair, reported the Committee met prior to this Board meeting and reviewed four
Charter articles: Sheriff, District Attorney, Probation, and Emergency Response. The Committee also
received an update on the CISNET program and approved the award of a contract for a cost much lower
than was originally budgeted. Mrs. Schuler reported a bill has passed the Assembly that establishes a
special fund and raises the Assigned Counsel rates to $75 for felonies and $60 for misdemeanors. She
said Lee Shurtleff, Director of Emergency Services, brought information to the Committee about the
mobile data radio system and upgrades and the interim solution until the new system is in place. She
reported that on August 1 at 1:30 p.m. there would be a joint meeting of the Health and Human Services
and Public Safety Committees to review ATI (Alternative to Incarceration) programs. She also noted that
for the last five weeks the Jail population has been in the 65 to 70 range.
Report from the Charter Review Committee
Mr. Lane, Chairman, reported the Committee had to cancel the last meeting due to lack of a
quorum. The next meeting will be July 10.
Report from the Communications Capital Proiects Committee
Ms. Blanchard, Chair, reported the Committee met on June 25 and there was discussion about the
status of the paging system. Joseph Lalley continues to work with the County on the system and they
hope to have a draft resolution soon that would authorize United Radio to undertake the design and
development phase of the paging system. Ms. Blanchard briefly reported on her trip to the Onondaga
226
July 2, 2002
County 911 Center and said they spent time discussing the status of the request for proposals for the
communications upgrade.
Ms. Blanchard reported on her recent trip to Albany to attend a Statewide wireless network
meeting. At that meeting it was reported funding for the Statewide wireless network has been secured in
the budget and it has support at the highest levels. She spoke of the previous meetings and said they were
usually attended by line officers, while this meeting was attended by more elected officials and policy-
making people. She said they interpreted this as an important change in the decision-making capability of
the group. At the meeting the State's RFP was discussed and later in the afternoon there was a pre-bid
conference which was very well attended. She noted the performance specifications in their RFP very
much mirror Tompkins County's RFP which was not the case six months ago. Ms. Blanchard said there
was also discussion about their procurement process that included "strategic partnerships", which is
something Tompkins County has been trying to do. She said throughout the day there was constant
reaffirmation that Tompkins County is doing the correct kind of approach to the communications system.
Mr. Whicher noted Tompkins County offered Tompkins County's paging project design to the SWN
Directors as a useful model and they seemed interested.
Report from the Fiscal Management Committee
Mr. Joseph, Chairman, reported the Committee met to consider two requests to fill positions of
which both were granted. The first was for a worker at the Airport that is funded by Airport revenues.
The other position was an HVAC position in Facilities, and it was demonstrated that it would cost the
County more in the long run not to fill the position.
Report from the Public Safety Building Space Planning Committee
Mr. Joseph, Chairman, reported an RFP was issued to get design proposals and is due back by
July 26.
Report from the Space Planning Committee
Mr. Joseph, Chairman, reported the Committee is looking at different options, including
demolishing the Old Library and building a new building. Mr. Joseph said one problem the Committee is
having is that options seem to be multiplying at a rate faster than they can review them.
Approval of Minutes of June 17 and 18, 2002
It was MOVED by Ms. Blanchard, seconded by Mr. Proto, and unanimously adopted by voice
vote, to approve the minutes of June 17 and 18, 2002 as submitted. MINUTES APPROVED.
Unfinished Business
Mr. Proto requested County Attorney Wood to provide an opinion on the legality of Board
standing committees acting by consensus rather than vote.

Privilege of the Floor by the Public
Lynn Jackier, Executive Director of the Drop -In Children's Center, spoke in support of the
resolution on the agenda entitled Support to Apply for Grant from Child Care Facilities Program
(CCFDP) for Expansion of Drop -In Children's Center. Ms. Jackier stated there are plans to expand the
facility to serve 28 more children. She said she will be mailing a grant application tomorrow that she
hopes will bring over $500,000 into the community to help with that expansion.
Kathy Russell, Town of Dryden, spoke in opposition to any expansion of the Tompkins County
Jail. She said she believes that expanding the Jail would send the wrong message and does not think it is
cost effective to the County. She believes it will cost more to build on to the existing facility than to
board prisoners out to other counties. Ms. Russell said she feels the County needs to spend money on
preventive programs and bail programs for non-violent offenders. She said she understands there are
problems with the County's budget and would rather see money spent on nurses, rather than increasing the
size of the Jail.
Fay Gougakis, City of Ithaca, spoke concerning something she had heard on the radio yesterday.
She said it was stated by Mack Travis that the Tompkins County Museum was not being allowed to move
to the Old Public Library site on Cayuga Street. She questioned why the Board is not allowing the
Museum to relocate to that property. Ms. Gougakis said that location would make an ideal site for the
Museum and urged the Board to reconsider it.
Mike Raffe, Town of Dryden Resident, read and submitted the following statement:
"I am here this evening to speak to you about an event that happened this past weekend. The
American Cancer Society's Relay for Life. I was and still am the Co -Chair for the logistics committee for
that event and my comments evolve out of that role.
"As many of you know, Friday night and Saturday over 1,400 people participated in the Relay for
Life at the Ithaca High School Track and to date $158,000 was raised. It was the fifth year of the event
and each year the number of participants, the number of teams, and the amount raised has grown. But
something else has grown, the desire and willingness of individuals, businesses, organizations, and
228
July 16, 2002
government to participate. Team representation crossed the whole fabric of our community. We had
teams from religious and fraternal organizations, from workplaces, from schools, groups of friends, and
friends of survivors. All elements of Tompkins County were represented and that makes me smile.
"After each years' event the organizing committee does an after -action review to examine what
went right and what we need to improve or add. After last year's relay, we felt we needed to expand the
age diversity for the event. This year the event had numerous youth and teen teams and activities. And
the opportunities and experiences that these young people had are invaluable. Let me share one with you.
A 7th grader on one of the youth teams approached, she was told she had to make a presentation to a group
of Kmart store managers. She prepared the materials and went in front of the group of Kmart managers.
After hearing her speak they granted her request for support.
"Throughout our County individuals approached friends, co-workers, neighbors, employers,
customers, and businesses to get pledges, support, and other goods and services all to benefit the Relay
for Life. Various teams have been running fundraising events since early March like AES Cayuga's
weekly Lunch Day events that helped raise the awareness of and interest in the relay.
"Of importance to you, members of the County Board, are two other items. First the support of
County staff, agencies, and departments contributed in the planning, organization, and running the event.
Assistance came from the Sheriffs Department, the . Probation Department, Office of Emergency
Preparedness, to name a few. County employees gathered pledges and were walking or running on the
track during the event. The other is what I call the multiplier effect. It is the value of donated time,
goods, and services that is not reported. If we examine that, we can see that the relay generates about
$250,000 or more. That works out to about $2.60 per person in Tompkins County. This is an incredible
amount and should make us all proud. Thank you for your time."
Richard John, Attorney for Ernest Bury, spoke concerning the Shelter Valley Water Works. He
provided the Board with the following statement:
"I'm very concerned that there have been a series of the Ithaca Journal stories, and I'm sure that
some of the County Board members have read those stories concerning the Shelter Valley Water system.
Some of the statements made in those stories are flat-out inaccurate, others have been misleading, and
certainly the overall tone of those stories has been inflammatory and frightening I think to read. There is
another side to the story which really hasn't been told. I don't know if anybody read the Letter to the
Editor that I wrote on behalf of Mr. Bury that was in the paper last Saturday. Only part of that letter was
actually published. The Ithaca Journal took out paragraphs and I believe the full letter has been delivered
to the Board if you cared to read it.
"At any rate, if you read those stories there are certainly concerns about water quality and if you
read carefully that should be the focus. The water is tested on a regular basis. The water has passed those
tests. The water is not failing water quality tests. And, frankly, based on those tests the water should be
safe to drink. With that said, the letter I wrote, the Journal chose to put the headline that I said the system
was "A -OK". I wasn't saying that; there are problems with this system. It is certainly underfunded. The
Public Service Commission has not approved a rate that is sufficient to run a proper water system, and
there are several people in that system that refuse to pay. And it is very difficult to collect the small
amounts of money that are allowed to be collected. And so this system has struggled for long period of
time. It could certainly be run better and perform better if there was more money to do so.
"Mr. Bury has tried very hard to do that and he has run the system with water that is passing tests
for many, many years. He is certainly willing to work with the County, the Town of Newfield, the
residents, and with any organization that wishes to assume responsibility as an operator that thinks they
can do a better job, or cooperatively to seek a resolution or solution of any kind to make this system
work.
229
July 16, 2002
"What I am concerned about is there seems to be a rush by the Ithaca Journal to issue more fines
residents of this neighborhood get the best possible water system they can".
Peter Meskill, Tompkins County Sheriff, said the Request for Proposals for a new and improved
public safety communications system has been released. He said he is hopeful that the County will work
diligently to approve a system for the individuals who work in the public safety field in Tompkins
County. Mr. Meskill said less than two weeks ago a Broome County Sheriffs Deputy was brutally
murdered while on duty between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. He asked for a moment of silence in memory of
Deputy Kevin Tarsia, who gave his life while protecting his community.
Privilege of the Floor by Board Members
Mr. Winch, District No. 8 Representative, said Chair Joseph asked him to give a summary of
what he has done in regard to the Shelter Valley Water Works over the last few years. He made the
following statement:
"I've been aware of the problem the whole time I have been on the Board, which is approximately
17 years. Because I am the Representative, I get copies of notices sent to Mr. Bury concerning infractions
or memorandums, resolutions, or fines. Sometime during the summer of 1997 I decided that I wished to
get involved and see whether or not I could facilitate a change in the Shelter Valley Water Works.
"I met with John Andersson, I reviewed the file. And believe me, it is a long and extensive file.
In late November of 1997 I spoke with then Supervisor, Don Brown, because I knew the Town could be
part of the solution. I spoke with him about seeing if he and I could work together with the people at
Shelter Valley. I had actually been aware and actually was part of a group that was trying to see that prior
to 1997, an extension to the Newfield Water District that was going to go down in that neighborhood but
that one failed. And so I had met with the residents and Don and I had met with the residents and we met
on two to three occasions. We tried to explain what was happening and what was not happening. Those
meetings and discussions were during the period of 1998 and 1999.
"I kept hearing about the Public Service Commission and I got a call from Marty Luster's office.
I went there and sat down with Mr. Luster and Susan Pratt. They told me about their involvement with
requests from Mr. Bury to the Public Service Commission, and they wished me well in trying to get this
water system back on line and in a manner which there were not continual infractions. I have not, quite
frankly, spoken with Susan Pratt from that time. I believe the last conversation I had with her about water
works was less than a year ago. I spoke with Jack Agansky at the Public Service Commission at that time
and I have had several conversations since that time. The Public Service Commission quite frankly, led
us along for two plus years, trying to see if there was a way in which we could get someone else to run the
system and have Mr. Bury no longer the operator. As I said, they led us along for approximately two
years and then all of the sudden they dropped the situation and that caused great frustration. About that
time I had spoken with Stuart Stein who had been aware of the problem. I sought his guidance and quite
frankly, he understood my frustration and he was helpful.
"Prior to this time, for close to ten years, there were two issues that I was very much interested in
and I tried to become a member of the Board of Health to work on the two issues of which one of them
was the Shelter Valley Water Works. I finally was able to put myself, quite frankly, because I couldn't
get on any other way, on to the Board of Health; I appointed myself as the Chair of the Health and Human
Services Committee. I have been to several Board of Health meetings, from the time I started to work
with Don Brown. I came to listen, came to speak, and watched the action that was happening at the
Board of Health. As I understand the rules and regulations of the Board of Health that this is an area that
they should and are taking care of.
"In the next three items I am going to address items in Rich John's letter to the Editor in which lie
suggested that Mr. Winch work with the residents to take over the water system themselves. I think that
230
July 16, 2002
is an excellent suggestion and I did that about two or three years ago but they were not interested. In
order for that to happen there would have to be close to 100 percent of the people willing to do that and
they were not willing to take it over. The next item was to assist the Town of Newfield to increase the
Water District. I sit on the Water Committee. I have been working with them, I have met with them,
with John Andersson, with people from New York Rural Water, and they are well on their way to try to
create Water District No. 2 which will go down into that area. Also, the takeover of the Shelter Valley
water system by the Town of Newfield, I've been involved in that. Quite frankly, I was disappointed that
their attorney advised them against taking over the Shelter Valley Water Works, because why should the
Town take over that particular liability. And so although I thought that would be a good interim thing to
happen, while we are waiting for Water District No. 2 to be finalized, it did not happen.
"I spent a considerable amount of time on the phone talking to John Andersson talking about this
particular item, seeking his guidance and I want to publicly state that I think John Andersson is doing an
excellent job. He has a very tough problem here and I'll answer some of the things that may pop into your
mind as to why things can't happen shortly. I will say up -front that I think the Board of Health has been
too sympathetic with Mr. Bury. Mr. Bury states that I am against him. Quite frankly I am not against
him, I'm against the practices and the history of the Shelter Valley Water Works.
"What could be done now, like right now, that would solve the problem? Two dozen families
could be displaced. People that own the home, the water system could be determined no longer possible
for public use if there were continued infractions, and these two dozen families would have to fmd a place
to live. I don't think that is a good solution at all and I don't think it is possible. I certainly would not want
to be part of moving families out. The other is, I've mentioned before, the Town could take over and
manage the system but there has been no interest and the local residents don't wish to take over the water
system. I mentioned displacing two dozen families; let's look at a parallel to that. And the parallel would
be if there were to be a restaurant that has repeated infractions, it is very easy to shut the restaurant down
because lord only knows how many restaurants there are in Tompkins County so somebody could fmd a
restaurant if they needed it. A public swimming pool. You could shut that down from environmental
health infractions and there is other places to go and swim. But, you cannot, at least I don't think it is
advisable, to ask two dozen families to move elsewhere when they are making payments on a home and
have invested in it. They deserve to have quality water.
"So it appears the solution is what is happening right now. Unfortunately, it takes a long amount
of time; and that is the creation of Water District No. 2 in Newfield. Now Water District No. 2 is an
extension that will go from approximately where Landstrom's Gravel Pit is on Route 13 on Millard Hill
Road, will go down Decker Road, down past the little Convenience Store and will head out from
Meadowbrook Mobile Home Park past Shelter Valley and will terminate at Jim Ray's Mobile Home Park.
Jim Ray has a private water supply and he maintains it. But, he is willing to hook -on because it will give
a considerably large number of taps and makes it an economically feasible system. The Water District
No. 2, they have dug two wells and one of them is good, supplying a little bit more than half the water
that is needed. A second well has been determined as not usable. It is my understanding in talking with
the Town Board that another well is going to be drilled next week. If they get water, a sufficient amount
of clean water next week, it still will be two years from the time it takes to complete the package and they
have already got some kind of agreement on State funding for Water District No. 2. But it will take a
couple of years before you can turn on a tap anywhere along that water district and get water. That's a
frustrating amount of time for these people, especially the people who have been dealing with this for
decades.
"So, that is a capsule summary of what I have been doing. Along the way I have consulted with
Henry Theisen, Jonathan Wood, and now Bruce Wilson is the attorney for the Board of Health. I haven't
really had any chats with him but I certainly know that he is there. I would suggest that members of the
Board, if they wish, read the rules and regulations of what the Board of Health is supposed to do. Take
time to review minutes over the last two to three years of the Board of Health meetings. And also review
the file of the Shelter Valley Water Works.
231
July 16, 2002
"In closing, who has failed? I have failed, I thought that I could facilitate this situation. I knew
the history, I knew the problem, and I thought that I could work to facilitate. I am trying, I have, and I
will continue to try and I, quite frankly, cannot wait for the Water District No. 2 to be completed. I think
the Board of Health has failed. I think the Public Service Commission has failed. I remind you that
Marty Luster's Office was working with the Public Service Commission and his office has consulted with
me from time to time. I'll also say that there are two successful public water systems that are currently
being run in that neighborhood and they are well-managed and there are a minimum amount of
complaints from those people."
John Andersson, Director of Environmental Health, provided the Board with an overview of the
County's public water supply program. He said the County's program is a regulatory and an educational
program for all of the water systems in the County. The rules they work with are based on federal laws.
He said the purpose of the program is to make sure that all 186 systems know about the complex State
regulations and make sure that operators know what they are required to do. He stressed the County's
program is a highly detailed prevention program and there are no provisions in the rules to shut down a
residential water system, though we can close a restaurant. However, if something is persistent and there
are long-term violations, after a hearing is held the Health Department can ask the Board of Health to
revoke a permit. Mr. Andersson said there is no permit issued to run a water system. The enforcement
they can take is through actions, hearings, public health directors, and Board of Health orders. Last y ear
they issued 33 boil water notices. In answer to questions from Mr. Booth he said the last boil -water
notice for Shelter Valley was issued in January, 200 and lasted until November, 2001. During that time
the residents bought bottled water.
Mr. Andersson said several hearings have been held in regard to the Shelter Valley system during
the last 25 years, and each time they have resulted in improvements towards bringing the system up to
standards. Due to lack of maintenance, the system deteriorates until the Department takes action again.
The last hearing was held in 1988 and those hearings resulted in significant improvements to the water
system and at the present time the system has one violation. The current violation in the system is that it
lacks an operator who is certified to run the system. Mr. Andersson said the long-term solution they are
seeking, as stated by Mr. Winch, is to eliminate the water system and provide a much better system that is
run by a Town which has the resources to do so.
Ms. Robertson asked Mr. Andersson to explain the history of the operator's certification. Mr.
Andersson said the operator had been certified for several years, but let his certification lapse and didn't
take steps to stay certified. He said the operator recently passed a certification test and has an application
on file at the Health Department. Once the individual passes a laboratory proficiency exam, which is
currently in the process, the Health Department will have to make a decision on recommending his
certification for approval by the State Health Department. The Health Department will consider his past
operations in making a recommendation.
Mr. Proto said he has been a member of the Board of Health for several years. He said this
particular file is very large and encouraged members to review it in its entirety. Mr. Proto said the Board
of Health has made several attempts, either by waiving or reducing fines so the owner could apply those
funds to improvements. Mr. Proto said the individuals who live m this development are required to pay a
water fee, and it has gone uncollected for a number of years for a number of reasons. He said the Board
of Health has heard the argument for several years that had those fees been paid there would have been
sufficient funds to make the necessary improvements to the system. Mr. Proto said the County's charge
is to provide safe drinking water to individuals and he feels the Board of Health has tried to do that.
Mr. Proto echoed Mr. Raffe's comments under privilege of the floor in regard to the American
Cancer Society's Relay for Life. He said it was very well done and he hopes the community will come
out next year and support it again.
232
July 16, 2002
Mr. Proto also spoke in his capacity as Chairman of the Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit
Board and announced a presentation will be given on the 2003 TCAT budget on August 1 at 4 p.m. in the
Beverly Livesay Conference Room. He said a notice confirming this will be distributed to all Board
members before the end of the week.
Mr. Booth, District No. 3 Representative, asked Mr. Joseph to respond to the comments made by
Ms. Gougakis under privilege of the floor. Mr. Joseph said Ms. Gougakis indicated that the County had
already decided not to move the DeWitt Historical Society to the old Public Library building. He said no
decision has been made as of this date, although the Committee has seen more and more problems with
that and the likelihood of that is declining. Mr. Joseph agreed that there are good reasons to have the
DeWitt Historical Society in that location; however, it appears to be far more expensive than they had
thought it would be. He noted a final decision on this has not yet been made.
Mr. Lane, District No. 13 Representative, stated the State Legislature has put counties in a very
difficult situation once again. He said they have failed to pass a change in the Penal Law defining the
alcohol level of driving while intoxicated at a level of .08. He said a while back Congress passed a law,
making a determination that if New York wanted to have transportation funds, it would have to drop the
level of blood alcohol content to define DWI to that level. Mr. Lane said there have been competing bills
in the State Assembly and in the State Senate. The Assembly bill simply changed it from the current
level to the level of .08. The Senate bill contained portions that were not acceptable to the other house.
Mr. Lane said because of this the State of New York has lost over $20 million in federal funding, which it
will not get back because it failed to meet the deadline of changing the law. Mr. Lane called this
disgraceful and said it hurts the people of New York State. He urged everyone to write to their New York
State legislators to tell them this is unacceptable.
Ms. Herrera, District No. 5 Representative, spoke in regard to an attack that occurred at Pete's
convenience store last week. She said that she was out of town when the attack occurred, and that many
details are not yet available; however, three white people were involved in beating a black woman. Ms.
Herrera said she is one of two members of this legislative body who is a person of color. She stated she
spoke with Leslyn McBean, District No. 2 Representative, who could not be in attendance this evening,
and they both condemn biased -related attacks and hate crimes. Ms. Herrera stated that she and Ms.
McBean, along with other members of the Board, seek to ensure that Tompkins County becomes the
place most people wish it was -- a place that is free from racism, hate crimes, and bias. Ms. Herrera
said she is angered and ashamed that this type of attack took place in Tompkins County, and wants to
work to eliminate the hostile climate that allows events like this to happen.
Mr. Joseph also spoke of the recent attack and said he, too, was out of town when it occurred.
While he was out of town he was watching the news and saw a black man in California be arrested and
picked up by the police and slammed into a car and punched. He said he shared the outrage that many
people across the country felt when they saw that happen. He said he then came home to find this
incident had happened in this community. Mr. Joseph said he attended a meeting that was organized by
Leslyn McBean and Diann Sams at the Southside Center to talk about this issue. He said there was a
great deal of anger and frustration expressed at that meeting at the inability to bring a halt to these kinds
of incidents. Mr. Joseph said when a member of this community is violently and physically attacked
because of the color of her skin, that is cause to be outraged, angry, and to demand that something be
done. He said he has spoken to the District Attorney and has been assured that he is taking this to the
Grand Jury and asking for an indictment under the State Hate Crimes Legislation, which increases the
level of the charges. Mr. Joseph said he doesn't believe there is any one single thing that can be done to
easily and quickly change the atmosphere that allows these incidents to happen. He said the things that
are necessary to make that change are many things that happen over a period of time and include
community leaders speaking out that this is not acceptable and will not be accepted in the community.
Mr. Joseph expressed his appreciation to Leslyn McBean and Diann Sams for calling the meeting and
taking leadership as public officials in organizing a forum in which people could express their feelings.

July 16, 2002
Ms. Kiefer, District No. 10 Representative, announced an open public meeting being sponsored
by the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom will be held at 7 p.m. tomorrow at the

about corporations as persons and what that has done to society.

Ms. Blanchard said at the second appearance before the Village of Lansing's Planning Board,
they granted the County site plan approval contingent upon drainage issues being resolved. Mr. Whicher
said there has been a tremendous amount of cooperation given by the Village of Lansing. Mr. Whicher
said the goal of the project is to make sure that the County does not build any more towers than are
absolutely necessary. He said they want to make sure that if a tower is built for the paging project that it
also will work for the communications project and vice versa. He said the paging project broadcasts at a
lower frequency and much broader range and therefore, is much more flexible than the communications
project.

Mr. Wilson, Assistant County Attorney, had no report.
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr asked the County Attorney's Office to perform research on the City and
State's bias -crimes laws and see what local options are available to strengthen those laws on the local
level. Mr. Wilson said criminal penal laws are normally handled on the State level; however, he would
look into this for Representative Koplinka-Loehr.
Report from the Finance Director
Mr. Squires reported the County received an offer for the Pinnacles property in the Town of
Caroline from Cornell University. The Government Operations Committee will be discussing this offer
at the next meeting. Mr. Squires reported a "tag sale" was held at the Old Public Library building on July
13th for the purpose of dealing with discarded items that have been accumulating. He said most of the
furnishings were sold at that sale and although the County only gained approximately $5,000 from that
sale there are additional savings in the cleanup effort. Mr. Squires also reported on sales tax revenues and
said the gross distributions of sales tax for the County at mid -year were $16.9 million as compared to
$14.9 million last year.

RESOLUTION NO. 162 - SUPPORT TO APPLY FOR GRANT FROM CHILD CARE
FACILITIES PROGRAM (CCFDP) FOR EXPANSION OF DROP-IN
CHILDREN'S CENTER
MOVED by Mr. Winch, seconded by Ms. Herrera. Mr. Proto asked if there has been any
discussion of increased operating costs or increased County contribution due to the expansion. Mr.
Winch said he has asked similar questions, such as whether they could reduce their utility bills by going
through a value engineering process, but those discussions have not yet taken place. Ms. Herrera spoke
in support of this resolution and said she sees this as a workforce development issue since it will assist
low-income families to maintain self-sufficiency and employment. Ms. Robertson also spoke in support
of this resolution and stated this would satisfy a small fraction of what is a critical need for families. She
said in discussions with Lynn Jackier, Director of the Drop-in Children's Center, and the Health and
Human Services Committee, Ms. Jackier indicated the Center would be able to fund raise for the balance
of costs. A voice vote on the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes - 13, Noes - 0, Excused - 2
(Representatives McBean and Schuler). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the Drop -In Children's Center (DICC) currently services forty-nine children in the
Tompkins County community, and approximately seventy-five percent of DICC's clientele qualify as
low-income families, and

parents the opportunity to continue employment and self-sufficiency, and
WHEREAS, in calendar year 2002 funding from Tompkins County is $69,309, and
WHEREAS, the Day Care and Child Development Council of Tompkins County has determined
that there is a shortage of drop-in, infant, and toddler daycare spaces, and
WHEREAS, DICC seeks to develop an expansion to the child care center located at 506 First
Street, at a cost of between $500,000 to $600,000, and
WHEREAS, DICC expansion is projected to result in an additional twenty-eight slots for toddlers
and infants (eight full-day infant, ten infant/toddler drop-in and ten full-day toddler) and 6.75 FTE
employment opportunities, and
WHEREAS, the Drop -In Children's Center has identified a grant program, the Child Care
Facilities Development Program (CCFDP), that provides up to ninety percent of project costs, not to
exceed $1,000,000, for the construction or expansion of licensed, not-for-profit day care centers intended
to serve low-income working families, and
WHEREAS, applications through the CCFDP, administered by the New York State Dormitory

therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Health and Human Services Committee, That the

Report from the Information Technolouv Services Committee
Mr. Winch, Chairman, reported the Committee met on July 12 and continued discussions of
capital projects. Mr. Potter, Director of Information Technology Services, spoke about the Time Warner
Capital Project that has been ongoing. The project would benefit the rural municipalities, TC3, and holds
the potential for video arraignments. Mr. Lane said the Tompkins County Intermunicipal Cable
Commission has been functioning for several years although Tompkins County does not have a cable
franchise as do the other municipalities. He said from the beginning, Tompkins County has always tried
to lend its support to municipalities for cable issues. Most of the members of the Commission joined
together with the City of Ithaca to begin cable negotiations that have turned out to be very difficult
because of deregulation. Mr. Lane said in the last set of negotiations, an institutional network for data
transmission was requested. This is what exists in the downtown area and what allows the County's
broadcast signal to be transmitted to Time Warner studios and broadcast around the County; it also
connects the school district with the City. He said in the negotiations it was requested that this be
extended into the other municipalities, particularly municipal buildings and town halls.
Mr. Winch highlighted some of the Information Technology Services Department's activities: the
2001/2002 tax maps were maintained and produced in an extremely timely manner with GIS absorbing
the cost of the tax mapping; a summer intern has been working on finalizing the GIS website; a staff
member provided excellent support for the 911 response maps; and the Department worked cooperatively
with the Planning Department on producing watershed and soil map data. GIS is also planning to update
the County building footprints with a flyover to be held in the Fall. He said Mr. Potter has also been
working with the Health Department on putting together clinical billing software.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Public Works Committee
Ms. Blanchard, Chair, reported the Committee met on July 3 and spent most of the meeting
reviewing capital projects. She said that discussion will be presented to the Budget and Capital
Committee on July 23rd.

Report from the Economic and Workforce Development Committee
Mr. Lane, Chairman, reported the Committee met on July 11. At that meeting Carl Haynes and
Bob Ross of Tompkins Cortland Community College were in attendance and discussed an issue of a lease
of a small portion of the College's property. He said there has been substantial growth in the projected
enrollment at TC3 and a heavy demand for housing in the dormitories on the TC3 Foundation property.
Mr. Lane said the proposal is to construct a fourth building for students that would be in conjunction with
the proposed access road that is contained in the TC3 master plan. That proposal will come forward to
the Board following action by the Board of Trustees for the College.
Mr. Lane said the Committee also heard a report from Bridgett Berry of the Convention and
Visitors Center. The Commons work is progressing and they have hired four individuals who are titled
"Ambassadors" for the Commons area. These are part-time positions who will perform duties such as
handle flowers, perform cleaning services, and answer informational questions. Mr. Lane said in terms of
rural areas, the Committee will also be looking at the possibility of having small matching grants.
Martha Armstrong of TCAD (Tompkins County Area Development) attended the meeting and discussed
their continued efforts towards an Economic Development Zone (EDZ). At the present time, Tompkins
County does not qualify under existing criteria for an EDZ. However, the State is encouraging the
County to complete an application because there may be changes made to those criteria. Mr. Lane
reported the Committee also spent time reviewing advisory board surveys and thanked Representative
Koplinka-Loehr for his work on that.

July 16, 2002
Report from the Budget and Capital Committee
Mr. Penniman, Chairman, reported the Committee met a week ago and received the first report on
current -year savings that have been incurred by departments as a result of the County's fiscal situation and
the request that was made to them. He said it appears the County is well on its way to reaching the $1
million goal that had been established. Mr. Penniman said the Committee received a report from the
Department of Social Services about Medicaid programs and how costs have increased. The Committee
learned that there are increased caseloads due to broader eligibility under Family Health Plus, Child
Health Plus, and other program changes. There is also increased utilization of programs and services.
He reported the impact of Medicaid expenditures is significant, with a $1.4 million overrun in that area
this year, with an additional spending of $1 million expected for 2003. In terms of budgeting, the County
will need to budget $10.5 million in 2003, compared to the original 2002 budget of $8.1 million. Mr.
Penniman said the Committee also heard a report from Tompkins Cortland Community College on the
College's budget. At the next meeting on July 23rd the Committee will be reviewing capital projects. Mr.
Penniman announced a special discussion on capital projects will take place on July 22 at 3 p.m. in the
Scott Heyman Conference Room. All Board members are invited to attend. Mr. Penniman also
distributed a revised budget calendar.
Report from the Public Safety Committee
Mr. Totman, Vice Chairman, reported the Committee has not met since the last Board meeting.
The next meeting will be August 1 at 12:30 p.m. At 1:30 p.m. a joint meeting will be held with the
Health and Human Services Committee to perform an evaluation of the Alternatives to Incarceration
programs.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Charter Review Committee
Mr. Lane, Chairman, reported the Committee met and reviewed the Youth Bureau article. He
said one suggestion made by the Youth Board was that the Board consider changing the name of the
Youth Bureau because there is often confusion with the City of Ithaca Youth Bureau. The Committee
charged that group with bringing suggestions back to the Committee. Mr. Lane said the Committee also
spent time with the Director of Emergency Response reviewing proposed changes to that article. He said
because of the critical need by that Department to have authorization to be able to sign documents, this is
being forwarded for full Board action as quickly as possible. Mr. Lane said the Committee also moved
forward with changes to Section 2.04 - Vacancies on the Board of Representatives. He said the proposal
the Committee is recommending would establish a special election procedure to replace the current
appointment by City Council and/or town board. He said the Committee solicited comments from all
municipalities on this Section and received three responses. The Town of Groton supported the
Committee's recommendation, and the Towns of Caroline and Ithaca felt there should be some form of
weighted voting by municipal boards.

Privilege of the Floor by the Public
Fay Gougakis, City of Ithaca, expressed concern about recent publicity on the Tompkins County
Library. She said it would be a travesty if the Library were to lose funding because it cannot be open four
more hours per week.
The following individuals were present and urged the Board to continue funding and support for
the Tompkins County Youth Bureau Outings Program:
Linda Bowman, Town of Ithaca
Susan Fornell, Town of Ithaca

Peter Meskill, Tompkins County Sheriff, announced this evening is National Night Out and noted
that a variety of activities will be taking place in the Town of Newfield and City of Ithaca. Mr. Meskill
encouraged Board Members and members of the community to participate in the events.
Privilege of the Floor by Board Members
Martha Robertson, District No. 13 Representative, recognized Dan Higgins and Bob Steinkamp
for their diligence in attending County Board meetings. Mr. Higgins and Mr. Steinkamp are local news
reporters. Ms. Robertson spoke about the Jail and referred to meetings of the Public Safety Building
Space Planning Committee. She said at a recent meeting the Sheriff reported Delaware and Chenango
counties are now constructing new jails. She said these counties are half of the size of Tompkins County
and project to spend $23 million and $27 million respectively for those facilities. Ms. Robertson said this
is a tragic way to spend this enormous amount of money. She stated that she and her husband have been
studying a database containing statistics from the population at the Tompkins County Jail for the last 12
years. They have been trying to analyze the data to determine whether any trends exist. She said it
appears that Mondays are the peak days with Fridays being the day with the lowest population count. She
noted that for the last two months jail population has been well below the variance approved by the
Commission of Corrections and hopes the County can pursue this track further.
Mr. Lane, District No. 14 Representative, referred to an article that appeared in today's Ithaca
Journal. The article contained census information regarding the disparity in income levels across New
York State. He said Tompkins County is one of the counties with the largest disparity of people with high
incomes and people with very low incomes. Mr. Lane said there are few mid-level jobs and this is
something that has to be continually worked on. He said this will be addressed later this evening when
the County's application for an Empire Zone is discussed.
Mr. Booth, District No. 3 Representative, thanked the individuals who came and spoke under
Privilege of the Floor by the Public on the Tompkins County Youth Bureau Outings Program. He said it
is important that the public realize that it is a recommendation of the Tompkins County Youth Board to
fully cut the Outings Program in order to bring the Youth Bureau within the twenty percent budget
reduction scenario that was requested by this Board. Mr. Booth said it was a very long and agonizing
process; however, if that cut was not chosen they would have had to recommend other cuts to meet the 20
percent reduction. Mr. Booth said the public needs to realize there will be many difficult choices the
Board will need to make as the budget process proceeds.
Mr. Penniman, District No. 15 Representative, reported he visited the County -owned land where
seismic testing is taking place. He said it appeared to him there was a minimal affect on the forest and
fields that were being studied and those conducting the tests were very efficient and professional.
Mrs. Schuler, District No. 4 Representative, announced this past Saturday there were celebrations
marking the 1001 year of 4-H. She said the event was attended by some members of the Board and she
was impressed by the creative projects and commitment the 4-H'ers exhibited. She also announced
celebrations for the 175th Anniversary of the Eight Square School House will be held throughout this
entire week with many activities taking place between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. at the Tompkins County Public
Library and the ice cream social at the 8 -square schoolhouse.
Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Representative, thanked Ms. Robertson for providing information on the
jail earlier in the meeting. He recalled the discussion that took place several years ago when a decision
was made to construct the existing Jail. Mr. Proto said it was with a significant amount of public pressure
that the plans for the Jail were downsized and it was in regard to information on alternatives to
incarceration and how effective people hoped they would be. Mr. Proto suggested that someone contact
254
August 6, 2002
James Mason who was the Chairman of that committee and bring that information into the discussions
about what to do about the existing Jail.
Mr. Proto also spoke in his capacity of Chairman of the TCAT (Tompkins Consolidated Area
Transit) Board of Directors. He said this evening he distributed the TCAT system map and a bus pass
and encouraged members to ride the bus at different times and provide the TCAT Board with feedback on
the system.
Ms. Blanchard, District No. 1 Representative, reported the Airport Manager has been running a
monthly check on airfares to selected destinations across the United States and doing comparisons
between Ithaca, Syracuse, Elmira, and Binghamton. Mr. Nicholas presented her with the following
information to summarize his findings:
"The presence of Southwest Airlines and/or Jet Blue in Buffalo, Rochester, Albany, and Syracuse
produces much lower walk-up fares to certain destinations. However, in most cases, if passengers are
able to book a month or so in advance, there is not sufficient financial incentive to drive to these larger
airports unless a whole family is traveling. For example, for 9 out of 11 destinations sampled, for travel
at the end of August, the difference in the average roundtrip fare from Syracuse compared to Ithaca was
less than $30. The average fares for Ithaca, Binghamton, and Elmira were basically the same. Between
the end of July and the end of August average airfares have dropped by 35 percent in Ithaca and 25
percent in all Upstate airports."
He concluded with the following:
"It is always worth checking airfares from Ithaca before buying a ticket. With shorter lines for
check-in, 30 minutes of free parking, free baggage carts, and less time involvement with mandated
security procedures, travel from the Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport can once again be a pleasant
experience."
Mr. Todd, District No. 6 Representative, said he and his wife also attended the 4-H Fair and had
an opportunity to visit all the exhibits. Mr. Todd announced Farm City Day will be held on Saturday,
August 10 at 11 a.m. at the Hardie Farm in Lansing.
Report from Municipal Official
No municipal official was in attendance.
Chair's Report and Appointment(s)
Mr. Joseph presented David Squires, Finance Director, with a certificate recognizing him for ten
years of dedicated service to Tompkins County.
Mr. Joseph said he was invited by the City of Ithaca to serve on the Cayuga Green Client
Committee. He designated Ed Marx, Planning Commissioner, to attend those meetings in the event he
cannot.
Mr. Joseph said there have been a number of issues with the State government in recent times and
there has been discussion about the need for counties to work together to dramatize those issues and get
some responsiveness. He said he has asked Representative Penniman to take the lead on behalf of
Tompkins County to bring counties together to do this.
Mr. Joseph clarified that the entire Workforce Development program, including Job Training
should report to the Economic and Workforce Development Committee.
255
August 6, 2002
He said Board members have begun to receive communication in regard to the 2003 budget. As
those letters and calls are received they are being placed in a master file in the Board Office for review by
all Board members. He invited all Board members to add correspondence they receive to this file as well.
He hopes this will provide one location for all of this information and will aid in keeping the entire Board
informed.
Appointment(s)
Mr. Joseph appointed John Rossi to the Workforce Development Board for a three-year term
expiring June 30, 2005.
Report from the County Administrator
Mr. Whicher reported he has been working on the 2003 Tompkins County Budget. He said all
Board members should have received copies of all the Over -Target requests. He said there are no "easy
cuts" that can be made to the budget. Mr. Whicher said for several years the County has been "tweaking"
departmental budgets and now will have to cut programs. He stated he has spent many hours reviewing
budget submissions and does not believe the Board will have any option but to support a very substantial
property tax increase in 2003. He said an expectation of a property tax increase of less than 20 percent at
this point is unrealistic, especially when there is a 22 percent increase in mandates. Mrs. Schuler asked
how much twenty percent increase will be in dollars and Mr. Whicher said $120 to $150 on a $100,000
home.
Mr. Proto asked if Mr. Whicher had done a forecast of the 2004/2005 budget. He said he has not;
however, he believes the state's situation is such that they will make it harder next year.
Report from the County Attorney
Mr. Wood reported on the ATV accident that occurred in the Town of Newfield recently and said
it was not on or anywhere near the County property where seismic testing was done.
Report from the Finance Director
Mr. Squires reported on the sale of revenue anticipation notes and said he is pleased with the rate
that was received. He said a $1 million note was purchased by J.P. Morgan Chase for 1.38 percent and
Troy Financial services bought the remaining note at 1.46. The previous comparison was earlier in the
year for Tompkins Cortland Community College at 1.65 percent. Mr. Squires also reported there is a
savings this year on the retirement bill of approximately $68,000. He said he also distributed copies of
the second quarter sales tax information which includes reconciliation that shows the real sales tax
increase to be .006 percent. It appears Tompkins County was the beneficiary from a past judgement
which made it appear that sales tax revenues were up.
Report from County Staff
No County staff person wished to speak.

Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Economic and Workforce Development
Committee
Mr. Lane, Chairman, reported the Committee met briefly this evening to discuss the resolution
relating to the establishment of an Empire Zone. He thanked Martha Armstrong of TCAD and
Representative Blanchard for their hard work on this item. Mr. Lane said last week TCAD held a
meeting with municipal officials from all over the County where they worked on maps to designate areas
in the County that should have economic development -zone status. These areas not only included the
City of Ithaca, but also towns and villages outside of the City. He said the Committee was approached
by Historic Ithaca with a request for the County to sponsor a grant application for the Main Street
Program which could bring 50 percent funding to Historic Ithaca for restoration of the Clinton House
roof. He said although the Committee was informed there was another application forthcoming, action
was taken to move forward with this because the deadline for application submittal is August 12.

RESOLUTION NO. 184 — 2002 MAIN STREET NEW YORK DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT
INITIATIVE GRANT FOR THE CLINTON HOUSE — HISTORIC
ITHACA
MOVED by Mr. Lane, seconded by Mr. Booth. Mr. Lane noted that this grant involves 50
percent matching funds and there is no local County commitment; the local match would be paid for
totally by Historic Ithaca. There was a concern raised by Mr. Whicher that the Strategic Tourism
261
August 6, 2002
Planning Board had indicated they were also interested in submitting a grant application; however, he did
not think they were aware of the August 12 deadline. Mr. Koplinka-Loehr stated he does not believe this
precludes another application. He said the County could support two applications and figure out a way
the money could be shared if they are both approved. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes — 15, Noes
— 0. RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the historic Clinton House is and has been a commercial anchor in the civic and arts
life of downtown Ithaca's central business district from its construction in 1828 until the present, and
WHEREAS, the Clinton House is now in need of exterior rehabilitation and repairs in order to
continue in its vibrant role as a contributor to the City and County and provide an appropriate home for
the downtown Tompkins County Ticket and Visitor's Center, and
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Board of Representatives supports the ongoing restoration
efforts at the Clinton House, and
WHEREAS, Historic Ithaca will fully fund the matching portion of this grant application and no
direct funding will be required from the County, and

RESOLUTION NO. 185 - AUTHORIZATION FOR PROGRAM RECONFIGURATION
FOR INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICES
MOVED by Mr. Winch, seconded by Ms. Robertson. Ms. Kiefer said this resolution was
approved by the Committee via a telephone poll. She said if the Committee had met she would have
urged that the GIS program be separated out as a separate program rather than dealing with the
telecommunications portion of the budget. She said she voted against it when she was polled and will
continue to vote against it this evening. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes — 14, Noes — 1
(Representative Kiefer). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the Information Technology Services Department is divided into two program areas
under one Budgeting Unit known as Information Technology, and
WHEREAS, the current program configuration includes a program known as
"Telecommunications" that was created to assist in the acquisition of a telephone system, and
WHEREAS, a telephone system has been established and current telecommunication activities
involve multiple staff members in the coordination of telephone service, telephone programming, and
maintenance issues, and
262
August 6, 2002
WHEREAS, there is no longer any local share for this program as all expenditures for equipment
and service are billed to the appropriate County department, as are other Information Technology
services, and
WHEREAS, this service is not significantly different from other Information Technology services
and there no longer appears to be a practical reason to isolate this as a separate program area, now
therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Information Technology Services Policy and Budget and
Capital Program Committees, That Program Number 6105 Telecommunications be eliminated and any
appropriations or revenue associated with this service be included in Program 6100 "Information
Technology".

Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Public Works Committee
Ms. Blanchard, Chair, reported the Committee met on August 1 and spent a great deal of time
reviewing the Highway capital project status report. She reported on highlights of that discussion, and
said the Committee is making a recommendation to the Budget and Capital Committee that the Ellis
Hollow Road reconstruction project be delayed for five years. She reported on the Beach Road Bridge
and stated there appears to be a mutually satisfactory arrangement moving forward with Historic Ithaca
taking the lead in working with the Town on a course of action for the bridge. She reported the bid
opening for the Lounsbery Road bridge will be August 27th with the Board awarding the bid at the first
Board meeting in September. Ms. Blanchard said the Committee also spent time reviewing advisory
board responsibilities and will be forwarding several recommendations to the Government Operations
Committee. She also announced a two-day workshop will be held on the "Incident Command System
100/200 Series" at the Tompkins County Public Works Facility on September 9 and 10. The workshop
will also include a Highway emergency task force presentation. The purpose of the workshop is to
standardize incident management so that all the emergency responders speak a common language and
have general accepted operating procedures during emergencies. She asked that Board members relay
this information to their town and village officials.

BUSES AND FOUR VANS FOR RURAL ROUTES — TOMPKINS
CONSOLIDATED AREA TRANSIT (TCAT)
MOVED by Ms. Blanchard, seconded by Ms. McBean. Ms. Kiefer said she will vote against this
because TCAT has still been unable to locate a source other than diesel busses. A voice vote resulted as
follows: Ayes — 14, Noes —1 (Representative Kiefer). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, Tompkins County is submitting a request for a grant of funds to the New York State
Department of Transportation, pursuant to Section 5311, Title 49, United States Code, for a project to

SEQR ACTION: TYPE II -20
RESOLUTION NO. 187 - AUDIT OF FINAL PAYMENT NORTH TRIPHAMMER ROAD
PROJECT — VARIOUS PROPERTY OWNERS
MOVED by Ms. Blanchard, seconded by Mr. Winch. Mr. Proto asked if the list below had been
cross-referenced with the Assessment Department to find out if any of these people are delinquent on
County property taxes, and if they are is the County entitled to attach some of these monies to pay for
those taxes. Mr. Squires said the only time there would be an automatic search would be if the County
were purchasing a piece of property. He said this is a gray area because there are only three properties on
this list where the County actually purchased a property; the remaining properties are where the County
only purchased an easement which does not constitute a sale. However, he said he did look at that list and
there were three parcels that had outstanding taxes but the County could only bring it to the attention of
the individuals involved in the transaction. He said it is possible that the agreement could be withheld in
exchange for payment of those taxes. Mr. Lane said there are several parcels contained in this resolution,
of whose owners he has represented in his law practice in the past and requested permission to abstain
from voting on this resolution. Mr. Joseph granted Mr. Lane permission to abstain from voting. Mr.
Booth asked the length of a temporary easement; Mr. Wood didn't have a number but said it is only for
duration of construction and is therefore short. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes — 14, Noes — 0;
Abstentions — 1 (Representative Lane). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the ninety (90) parcel acquisitions as listed below (indentures and easements) were
completed as authorized by Resolution No. 327 of 2001, for construction of the North Triphammer Road
Rehabilitation and Bridge Replacement Project, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Public Works Committee, That the following claim
against the County of Tompkins, be and hereby is audited by the Board of Representatives:

August 6, 2002
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Planning Committee
Ms. Kiefer, Chair, reported the Committee met jointly with the Health and Human Services
Committee on July 18 to consider the neighbor pesticide notification law. She said there was a good
representation of interested parties and speakers from lawn -care associations as well as individuals with
agriculture interests. She said although the law does not deal with farmers there is suspicion that it may
be extended to farmers. At the conclusion of the meeting the Planning Committee discussed the need to
obtain additional information about the costs that this law has incurred in those counties that have already
adopted it. She said there was some interest in fmding out why the lawn -care representatives feel it will
cost them more. Ms. Kiefer said the alternative to this has been described as having a voluntary register
and they have listened to people both in favor of and in opposition to that. Ms. Kiefer said there have
been requests that there be an evening meeting to hear from individuals who were not able to attend and
they will be looking into scheduling this.
Ms. Kiefer reported the Planning Committee heard from the Environmental Management Council
at their regular meeting that followed the joint meeting on July 18th about the emissions reduction
resolution that appears on the agenda. The Committee also discussed the solar panels at the Tompkins
County Public Library and energy that is generated when the Library is closed in the summer. She said
the County does not receive payment for the energy that is generated during this time and supplied to the
power grid and she has asked the County Attorney to consider how to approach negotiating this item.
The Committee also discussed a way to structure the Commercial Center Revitalization Program and
having the Planning Department deliver technical services to municipalities. Commissioner Marx is
continuing to work on the County's SEQR procedures and the Committee will discuss this at the next
meeting on August 15. Ms. Kiefer said the Committee will also discuss oil and gas leases at that meeting.
RESOLUTION NO. 190 - MAKING A NEGATIVE DECLARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL
SIGNIFICANCE IN RELATION TO RESOLUTION NO. 191 OF
2002
MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Mr. Penniman, and unanimously adopted by voice vote.
WHEREAS, in Resolution No. 191 of 2002 the County establishes an emissions reduction target
for County operations, and
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Board of Representatives has reviewed and accepted as
adequate an Environmental Assessment Form with respect to that action, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Planning Committee, That Resolution No. 191 of 2002
is an unlisted action,
RESOLVED, further, That the Board of Representatives hereby makes a negative declaration of
environmental significance in regard to Resolution No. 191 of 2002.
SEQR ACTION: UNLISTED
(Short Environmental Assessment Form on File in Clerk of the Board's Office)
RESOLUTION NO. 191 - RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING AN EMISSIONS REDUCTION
TARGET FOR COUNTY OPERATIONS
MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Mrs. Schuler. Mr. Proto asked if the County would be
making a funding commitment without knowing what that commitment is, and if the County does not
follow through on it how that would look. He also asked if this is the right thing to do without knowing
what the cost would be in this difficult budget year. Ms. Kiefer said she thinks this is the right thing to do
because anything that is likely to be done in this action plan will likely cut the County's costs for utilities.
She believes it will save the County a significant amount of money. Mr. Marx, Planning Commissioner,
said there are no funds in the Planning Department's budget to support this and any support from the
Environmental Management Council would be the normal type of support that is given with the
268
zrr
August 6, 2002
possibility of utilizing an intern to support this. A voice vote on the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes
—15, Noes – 0. RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, on April 4, 2001, Tompkins County adopted Resolution No. 69 of 2001 to
participate in the Cities for Climate Protection (CCP) Campaign, a project of the International Council on
Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI), and
WHEREAS, the Cities for Climate Protection campaign is a voluntary program for municipal
governments to identify sources of greenhouse gas emissions within their jurisdictions, identify
opportunities and implement a proactive approach to combating global warming at the local level by
working through five milestones:
1. Conduct a local emissions inventory and forecast of greenhouse gas emissions,
2. Adopt an emissions reduction target,
3. Draft a Local Action Plan to achieve the target,
4. Implement the action plan,
5. Evaluate and report on progress, and
WHEREAS, in September 2001, Tompkins County reached Milestone 1 of the CCP campaign by
completing a county -wide inventory of greenhouse gas emissions for the base year of 1998, that includes
separate information on county government contributions, known as The Tompkins County Greenhouse
Gas Emissions Inventory Report, and
WHEREAS, Milestone 2 includes setting a specific greenhouse gas emissions reduction goal for
equivalent carbon dioxide (eCO2) by a designated year, based on the emissions inventory report, and
WHEREAS, there is mounting evidence of the magnitude of the global warming problem,
including
- six of the ten hottest years in the United States have occurred since 1992;
- the World Meteorological Organization reports that, globally, the 1990s comprised the warmest
decade on record;
- ICLEI projects that average temperatures in New York State will rise between 4 and 9 degrees
by 2100, and
WHEREAS, ICLEI indicates a 20 percent reduction goal is both an achievable and significant
target for county government operations, and that goal has been adopted by a majority of other municipal
governments participating in the CCP program, and
WHEREAS, Tompkins County can refine its reduction target as it develops the Local Action
Plan, and
WHEREAS, reductions in County energy use will not only reduce emissions but also save
taxpayer money, and
WHEREAS, this initiative by Tompkins County Government can be used as an example for
community -wide efforts to reduce greenhouse gases in the future, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Planning Committee, That the County Board of
Representatives adopt the following goal:
Tompkins County will, by 2008, reduce its emissions of greenhouse gases generated by county operations
by 20 percent (as measured by eCO2) compared to the base year of 1998,
RESOLVED, further, That Tompkins County will promptly develop a Local Action Plan
(Milestone 3) to achieve the target,
RESOLVED, further, That when the Action Plan has been developed, the reduction target may be
adjusted appropriately.

(Short Environmental Assessment Form on file in the Clerk of the Board's Office)
Report from the Government Operations Committee
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, Chairman, reported the Committee has not met since the last Board
meeting. The next meeting will be August 13 at 11:30 a.m. He said the Committee will be asking the
Personnel Commissioner to provide feedback as to what the Civil Service implications are as the County
269
August 6, 2002
deliberates reducing the County's workforce. At that meeting the Committee will have a report from the
Board of Elections and the Public Information Advisory Board. Mr. Koplinka-Loehr said Committee
chairs have received information on existing vacancies on County advisory boards and asked that they
follow-up on the process of filling those vacancies.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Budget and Capital Committee
Mr. Penniman, Chairman, reported the Committee met on July 23 and reviewed several
resolutions that appeared on this evening's agenda. There was also a lengthy discussion of the Capital
program with a focus on public works projects. The Committee also met briefly today and discussed the
New York State Department of Transportation Relocation Project. Mr. Penniman said the increase in
Medicaid cost averages out to approximately a $45 increase per person in Tompkins County. He said this
is the first part of the budget that will need to be addressed. He said a meeting was held today with
committee chairs to discuss budget process issues. The Board also received a memo from the Personnel
Commissioner that outlines the cost of layoffs; the memo highlights the cost of unemployment and health
insurance.
RESOLUTION NO. 192 - AMENDMENT TO THE 2002 CAPITAL PROGRAM — NEW YORK
STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION RELOCATION
MOVED by Mr. Penniman, seconded by Mr. Booth. Mr. Proto expressed concern about plowing
roads in the winter and asked if getting vehicles from this new site to the southern end of the County
would take longer. Ms. Blanchard said this is one of the questions that will be looked at as well having an
"outpost" at the Bostwick Road facility where they might dispatch immediate service from that end of the
County. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes —15, Noes — 0. RESOLUTION ADOPTED.

Privilege of the Floor by Board Members
Mr. Penniman, District No. 15 Representative, thanked the young people and others for coming
and not only highlighting the Outings Program but being able to speak on live television, showing the
self-confidence gained. He then spoke how this budget year is an unprecedented situation and that to
maintain programs currently funded would require a fifty percent increase in the tax levy. Mr. Penniman
explained that several months ago departments and agencies were requested to submit a proposed budget
with a twenty percent cut. In the case of youth programs, the County Youth Board made a decision that
rather than cut every program, causing all to be stretched to thin, they chose to take a large program and
eliminate it. He said the Board of Representatives will review their proposed decision to cut the Outings
Program more closely during the budget process.
Ms. Robertson, District No. 13 Representative, thanked Mr. Penniman for explaining the
budgetary process. She said that the Youth Board decision to cut the program was not a reflection on the
273
August 20, 2002
staff of the program who obviously have worked hard and made a difference to many youth. She said she
was at the Sciencenter today welcoming representatives of Congressman Boehlert who will be
representing a portion of Tompkins County starting January 2003. She reminded people of the
Sciencenter and the wonderful activities for everyone available there and encouraged them to visit. Next,
she reported that the Orange Tree Theater Company will be having their final program for the summer,
"Breathing Among the Tulips." This production is taking place Wednesday, August 21, through
Saturday, August 24, at the Hangar Theatre. She said it starts at 9:30 p.m. and is an outdoor production.
This production deals with mental illness and other issues, written by Kyle Jarrow, an Ithaca youth, and is
performed by students under the age of 19.
Ms. McBean, District No. 2 Representative, said that as a former teacher she is always impressed
when young people come forth and speak so eloquently and she appreciates it. She expressed her
appreciation on their speaking up for the program and indicated it speaks volumes of the enjoyment they
have had and how they feel it is important for others to share in the experience. Next, Ms. McBean said
that Representative Proto approached her prior to the meeting and shared a statement that moved her; he
had said that he did not envy her in relation to the situations recently occurring to individuals of color in
Ithaca and wanted to reach out. She informed the Board and public that on Thursday, August 22, 2002,
there is a Unity Gathering in the Ithaca community. This Gathering is to strive to portray peace and unity
in the community to assist in dealing with the issues of racism, fear, abuse, power and the like. There will
be numerous speakers at this function that will start at the small pavilion on the Ithaca Commons at 6:30
p.m. and proceed to the Greater Ithaca Activities Center (GIAC). Ms. McBean said that this was done
two years ago when similar circumstances took place and was very successful in assisting with a healing
process.
Mr. Booth, District No. 3 Representative, thanked the students who spoke about their Outings
Program. He said that their comments not only spoke of the program but will help viewers to understand
better the present budget situation. He said that other programs will be affected during this budgetary
process and that it is important to remember that nothing is free. Although students referred to the
Outings Program as free, there is always a cost attached in some form, either directly or indirectly through
the taxes paid. He noted that the student's comments help focus the types of trade-offs that will be made
over the course of time.
Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Representative, said he had two items to speak of. He expressed a
concern that recently there have been several resolutions that are not acted upon until just prior to the
regular Board meeting. While he realizes that due to the number of meetings requiring attendance this
sometimes can occur, he's concerned that as the budget process continues forward some resolutions may
require a more thorough review of information in order to make a valid decision. He asked that
individuals make every effort to allow more lead time for review prior to voting on resolutions. Next, Mr.
Proto inquired about the validity of the County Ethics Board handling a matter before them dealing with
City of Ithaca Officials. Mr. Wood addressed this question during the County Attorney's report.
Mr. Todd, District No. 6 Representative, noted that the original Ethics Committee was formed in
1973 and that at that time was headed by a former Board member. At that time they were charged with
the responsibility of a question regarding Tompkins Cortland Community College. Next, Mr. Todd spoke
of discussions with the Assessment Department. He said that it appears that there is approximately 3.5
percent increase in total taxable evaluation in Tompkins County. He explained his reluctance to consider
increases in the budget due to real property tax increases. He noted his district has had an approximate
11.2 percent increase in assessment over the past two years.
Mr. Lane, District No. 14 Representative, spoke of his visit to a local food pantry in Enfield. He
said that the individuals were mainly elderly individuals, along with many under -employed, single
women with children, some of whom are receiving a form of public assistance. Mr. Lane said that in the
nine years on the Board he has found it is not an easy task to create new jobs as a result of many different
274
August 20, 2002
factors including lack of funds, competition from other areas of the country, and the like. He noted that
many of the individuals participating at the food distribution indicated the need for a Wal-Mart. They felt
that it was needed for both employment and economical shopping. Mr. Lane said that these individuals
need to be considered when working on economic development in the future.
Report from Municipal Official
No municipal official was in attendance.
Chair's Report
Mr. Lane, Vice Chair, spoke of an unfortunate situation that occurred earlier this week and said
the following:
"We did have a sad event happen this week. One of our own experienced a severe loss and that
was our Deputy Clerk, Michelle Pottorff, who is not here tonight. Larry Pottorff, her husband, had fought
a valiant fight against a terrible disease that had racked his body for too long a period of time. We were
very proud of Michelle and their son Joshua throughout a long ordeal.
"He has passed away and we would like to have a moment of silence tonight, so I would ask
everyone to keep Larry Pottorff, Michelle and Joshua in their thoughts."
Report from the County Administrator
Mr. Whicher thanked John Beach and Robert Hillick for their service in Tompkins County. Both
have announced their retirements and the Board will be passing resolutions to support them. Mr. Whicher
commented on the outstanding work done for a very long period and congratulated them on their
retirement.
Mr. Whicher stated that he had thought of a way to express where the budget increase is in a
manner easier to understand than percentages. He indicated that it appears there will be an increase in the
County tax bill of approximately $125 per median household. Mr. Whicher noted that when the proposed
budget comes before the entire Board he will have his recommendations noted, stating that he will have
made many tough choices. He said that the choices that will then have to be made by the Board will be
extremely difficult as there will not be much left to cut out after all the years of tight budgets. Mr.
Whicher then responded to Mr. Todd's statement about the increased assessments for Lansing. He
wanted individuals to understand that at the State level there is a major shift from income tax to real
property tax. This shift is intended and is being done carefully and methodically. He said some areas will
have larger tax increases on their property, many of which are the wealthiest part of the County. He said
that conversely these same individuals could reap a higher benefit in the lower income tax that is
occurring.
Mr. Proto said that in the past he and former representative Beverly Livesay had from time to
time attempted to sponsor resolutions that would initiate a local income tax; and that it was not taken
seriously. He inquired whether it was possible to research the possibility of a local income tax to shift a
portion of the burden from real property taxes. Mr. Whicher said it would be a Board decision and
perhaps an issue the County Attorney would need to advise on. Mr. Lane suggested the matter be taken
to the Budget and Capital Committee.
Mr. Booth stated that with regard to the increase in County taxes of $125 on a median home it is
important to recognize that it would be part of a substantial real property tax bill, of which school taxes
are a significant portion. He also said that many individuals do not realize that although they may not
receive a bill directly, they pay property taxes as a portion of rent or other means.
275
August 20, 2002
Report from the County Attorney
Mr. Wood responded to the earlier question posed by Mr. Proto with regard to the Ethics
Advisory Board. Under New York State General Municipal Law there is a provision that Counties and
Municipalities can establish Ethics Boards and complaints can go to these Boards regarding officials of
the municipality. If within a county there is a municipality without an Ethics Board then the complaints
appropriate to that municipality go to the County's Ethics Board. Mr. Wood further stated that the
complaint has to be made by an official of the municipality regarding other officials. The complaint in
question was brought forth in this manner, and it was the City Attorney who suggested referral to the
County Ethics Advisory Board.
Report from the Finance Director
Mr. Squires said that the recently announced bankruptcy filing made by US Air will be closely
followed. Although logically it will have a potential impact on the revenue of the airport, it is too soon to
know to what extent. Since a good portion of the debt service of the airport is related to passenger use at
the airport through flight taxation it will require monitoring the situation for the remainder of the year.
Mr. Squires expanded on the bankruptcy filing and said that the airline is obligated to pay in full
everything from the filing date forward; however there are some receivables pending from before that
date that may be effected.
Ms. Robertson inquired whether the bankruptcy filing would possibly create a better financial
situation for the airlines in the future. Mr. Squires said at the present time the industry is not in a
favorable position regarding contractual negotiations including rents; that many communities are offering
to pay airlines to utilize their facilities.
Mr. Proto said it might assist individuals understanding of the situation by defining what the
Chapter 11 reorganization bankruptcy provides. Mr. Squires said that the driving force in this bankruptcy
was to provide the airline with the ability to renegotiate their airplane leases. He said it is hopeful that the
airline will continue to honor their obligation to the County, which is in contractual form, not debt owed.
Report from County Staff
Ms. Skinner, Public Information Officer, spoke of the opportunities for public input in the budget
process. She would like to have a public forum on September 24, 2002. This forum would be publicized
as well as having individual invitations sent to members of the community. She indicated that it would
start with a fifteen to twenty minute description of the budget with a question and answer period to
follow. Ms. Skinner suggested that prior to the public hearing required to take place in November that
another meeting be held in late October to provide details of the budget. Mr. Proto said that past practice
involved round table discussions and inquired if it would be the same. Ms. Skinner said the Public
Information Advisory Board felt that groups would be good, but with no obligation for Board members to
sit with any particular group. They felt that perhaps Board members being able to respond to any one of
the groups as well as listen to a variety of opinions would be good.
Mr. Todd said that he would like to be certain that the meeting date and location are provided to
the media.
Mr. Penniman said that he has been approached by the Chamber of Commerce to request an
informational meeting similar to last year's. They are suggesting this take place in October and Mr.
Penniman felt it would be worthwhile to hold this meeting prior to the larger informational meeting. He
said the format utilized in the past is the Program Committee Chairs providing an overview of their
portion of the budget with questions following.

Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Economic and Workforce Development Committee
RESOLUTION NO. 204 — MAKING A NEGATIVE DECLARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL
SIGNIFICANCE IN RELATION TO RESOLUTION NO. 205 OF
2002 ("EMPIRE ZONE" LOCAL LAW)
MOVED by Ms. Herrera, seconded by Ms. McBean. Ms. Kiefer indicated that she felt that in
cases such as the resolution before the Board where future actions are contemplated but not specific the
State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) form should indicate "unknown" or "unlikely" rather than a
definitive yes or no. She does not plan to vote against this resolution but wanted to note that she is
uncomfortable with the answers contained. Mr. Booth said he is voting for this resolution with the
understanding that individual projects will be the subject of SEQR reviews. A voice vote resulted as
follows: Ayes — 11, Noes — 0, Excused — 4 (Representatives Blanchard, Joseph, Koplinka-Loehr, and
Winch). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
282
August 20, 2002
WHEREAS, in Resolution No. 205 of 2002, the County Board of Representatives would adopt a
local law authorizing application for designation of Tompkins County as an Empire Zone, and
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Board of Representatives has reviewed and accepted as
adequate an Environmental Assessment Form with respect to that action, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Economic and Workforce Development Committee,
That Resolution No. 205 of 2002 is an Unlisted action,
RESOLVED, further, That the Board of Representatives hereby makes a negative declaration of
environmental significance in regard to Resolution No. 205 of 2002.
SEQR ACTION: Unlisted
(Short Environmental Assessment Form is on file in Clerk's office)
RESOLUTION NO. 205 — ADOPTION OF LOCAL LAW NO. 7 OF 2002 — AUTHORIZING THE
COUNTY OF TOMPKINS TO MAKE APPLICATION FOR
DESIGNATION OF CERTAIN AREAS WITHIN THE COUNTY OF
TOMPKINS AS AN EMPIRE ZONE (RESCINDED BY RESOLUTION NO.
184 OF 2005)
MOVED by Ms. Herrera, seconded by Mr. Penniman. Mr. Todd said that he is not in favor of the
resolution as he feels it would provide additional tax abatement and reduction of the tax base during a
period of tight budgets. Mr. Proto said that he understood from previous discussions that under the
Empire Zone Plan, the State reimburses the municipality for the municipal and school taxes provided in
the abatements. He said that with regard to sales tax abatements the State provides the four percent
abatement entirely and that locally we do not get reimbursed for the four percent. Mr. Proto said that he
was joining Mr. Todd in not supporting the resolution. He said he is in favor of economic development
but is concerned that not all portions of the County are included in the areas marked for the Empire Zone.
He recognized that there are designated areas in a variety of areas included; however, he feels that areas
of the County without infrastructure were not encouraged to be included and asked Ms. Armstrong from
Tompkins County Area Development to respond. Ms. Armstrong indicated it is not a technical
disqualifier and that all municipalities were invited and encouraged to attend. Some acreage is reserved
for future designation when communities are prepared for development. She said that the reserved areas
would be best utilized by municipalities who are in the process of developing an infrastructure and have
the municipal support.
Mr. Booth asked Ms. Armstrong who makes the decision to provide an additional abatement over
and above those afforded by developing in an Empire Zone. Ms. Armstrong said it is an Industrial
Development Agency (IDA) function and that a resolution is in place to review each case individually.
She said the State structure is different than an IDA abatement in that the State provides one hundred
percent property tax abatement for seven years, dropping twenty-five percent per year the following years
so that by year eleven they are paying one hundred percent of property taxes. Ms. Armstrong said that
some communities allow an abatement that would eliminate the taxes for those years and only begin the
taxation at year eleven. She said the choices made by municipalities vary depending on the dynamics of
the project and community.
Ms. Kiefer wanted to note that the negative declaration form clearly specifies "1,228 acres but
eventually 1,280 acres" so it is clear that around sixty acres are being reserved for future consideration,
which should take care of Mr. Proto's concern.
Ms. Robertson said she had inquired of the County Planning Commissioner, Mr. Marx, whether
the sites correlate with the Vital Communities principles and was told that the specific areas did
correspond primarily with the nodal -type development as expressed in Vital Communities.
Mr. Lane indicated that he felt the County would not be losing any taxes if approved. He said
that although the IDA could provide tax abatements over and above what the State would provide there is
283
August 20, 2002
no policy in place to do so. Mr. Lane explained that the resolution is approval to apply for Empire Zones
that would provide tax abatement incentives to develop in the specific areas designated and that the
amount of taxes from the abatement would be reimbursed to the County. Mr. Lane said he would support
this resolution
Mr. Proto noted that there is still in place section 485b opportunities as well. This program is
similar to the tax abatement programs provided by the IDA and encourages development of businesses.
Mr. Proto informed members of recent construction utilizing this abatement program. He stated that he is
not against economic development but feels that a message needs to be sent that there should be a limit on
properties receiving a tax abatement. Mr. Proto said that a small population of the County carries a
majority of tax burden as a result of the abatements and exemptions and doesn't feel it is fair.
Ms. Kiefer said she was somewhat sympathetic with Mr. Proto's comments and felt that if our
County were not one of only a handful not having an economic development zone she would not be
anxious to support this. She said the original idea of the zone to assist in the economic development of
blighted areas has changed very much since its inception and most counties have zones. She also said
that she thinks Mr. Proto's concerns should be reviewed with the IDA who make decisions regarding the
areas of concern noted.
Ms. Herrera said she supports this resolution that deals with economic development and jobs for
our communities. She said local abatements are under the IDA whose task is to carefully examine each
situation. As noted, she felt that it was consistent with Vital Communities Initiative and would receive
reimbursement from the State while building our economic development locally.
Mr. Lane expressed his support for this resolution that will provide jobs for the community and
continue the work of the past nine years. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes — 9, (Representatives
Booth, Herrera, Kiefer, Lane, McBean, Penniman, Robertson, Schuler, and Totman); Noes — 2
(Representatives Proto and Todd); Excused - 4 (Representatives Blanchard, Joseph, Koplinka-Loehr, and
Winch). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, a public hearing has been held before the Board of Representatives on August 20,
2002, to hear all persons interested in proposed Local Law No. 7 of 2002, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Economic and Workforce Development Committee,
That Local Law No. 7 of 2002 — Authorizing the County of Tompkins to Make Application for
Designation of Certain Areas Within the County of Tompkins as an Empire Zone is hereby adopted,
RESOLVED, further, That the Clerk of the Board shall publish in the official newspaper of the
County a notice of adoption containing a synopsis of said Local Law, and shall within twenty (20) days
file one certified copy in the office of the County Clerk, and one copy with the Secretary of State.

falling under the jurisdiction of the Planning Committee. Ms. Hackett of the Planning Department
reported on the USGS Aquifer Study Proposal and expects to have it in hand the end of September. The
Committee also reviewed budgetary history of the Commercial Center Revitalization Program and the
Ithaca Downtown Partnership contributions and the resolution following deals with this subject.
Information was shared regarding proposed drilling on County -owned property and the Committee
approved in concept two generic leases that will have some additional language incorporated and she
anticipates a decision at the next meeting. The Planning Commissioner provided information on a variety
of grants, the Section 259 review, participation in the Cayuga Green Client Committee, and the
Department of Transportation relocation project. Ms. Kiefer also reported that the Agriculture and
Farmland Protection Board is working with farm owners to develop local criteria to use for their
recommendation for purchase of development rights at the State level.

MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Ms. Robertson. It was MOVED by Mr. Proto, seconded
by Mr. Todd to postpone the resolution until the first Planning Committee budget meeting, pending full
discussion involving the survival of the Community Center Revitalization Grant Program. A discussion
followed explaining that this request was for already approved funds that we are late with our 2002
payment, and that the matter will be reviewed in the future to take into consideration the need to reduce
spending. Ms. Kiefer noted this will be discussed at budget time. A voice vote on Mr. Proto's motion to
postpone resulted as follows: Ayes — 2 (Representatives Proto and Todd); Noes — 9 (Representatives

SEQR ACTION: TYPE II -20
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Government Operations Committee
Mr. Booth, Vice Chair, reported that Anita Fitzpatrick, Commissioner of Personnel, summarized
the procedures that the Board must consider during times of shrinking workforce. When Over Target
Request's were submitted for twenty -percent target reductions, department scenarios potentially affecting
individuals became more "real" and a host of questions arose. The Committee had received information
regarding civil service procedures and a memo about the fiscal impact of layoffs prior to the meeting, but
discussion focused on the creativity required in each situation of a potential layoff to meet the needs of
departments and employees. It was the consensus of the Government Operations Committee to convey to
staff that we intend, to the maximum extent possible, to be compassionate and humane in any transition
that may be necessary to make workforce adjustments in 2003 due to budget constraints. The Committee
requested Administration, Personnel, and Finance staff to report on a variety of tools that can be utilized
(stagger timing of workforce reduction; review requests for voluntary unpaid absences for a few months
during a year; part-time options; transfer options; contingency plans; etc.) at our September meeting.
Meetings with employees have answered questions pro -actively and "information is power." Part of the
value of a civil service environment is the security of one's position and we wish to implement a
transition process that values the assets of each employee while creatively counseling individuals and
departments about options at their disposal. It was noted that recruitment will be challenging in this
period of time before final 2003 budgets are finalized since many positions could be reconfigured. An
analysis of the negative impacts from the standpoint of Affirmative Action goals (diversifying the
workforce) will be included in reports in upcoming months as well.
In addition, the Committee reviewed a Public Information Advisory Board recommendations for
public input about the budget, received a report from intern, David Filiberto, about Government
Accounting Standards Board accounting procedures (GASB34) to comply with recent federal laws in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and accepted a purchase offer from Cornell
regarding "Caroline Pinnacles" with contingency that the land be preserved to the fullest extent possible.
The Committee did not accept the proposal for name change from Charter Committee (three no votes for
three different reasons). The Committee set budget review meeting times. Mr. Booth then noted that the
balance of the meeting is reflected in resolutions presented to the Board. Mr. Proto inquired about the
dollar figure for the purchase of the Caroline Pinnacles property. Mr. Booth stated that it was
approximately $5,000. Mr. Proto wanted to note for the record that he spoke as the representative of
Town of Caroline as well as for other staff, to Mr. Koplinka-Loehr in opposition to this dollar amount.
RESOLUTION NO. 207 - APPROVAL OF THE PUBLIC INFORMATION ADVISORY BOARD
BYLAWS
MOVED by Mr. Booth, seconded by Mrs. Schuler. A voice vote on the resolution resulted as
follows: Ayes — 11, Noes — 0, Excused — 4 (Representatives Blanchard, Joseph, Koplinka-Loehr, and
Winch). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, Tompkins County has taken steps to organize a Public Information Advisory Board
by Resolution No. 135 of 1999, and

Bylaws outlining the mission and purpose of the Public Information Advisory Board, and

RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Government Operations Committee, That the Public
Information Advisory Board Bylaws be approved and that said bylaws are hereby placed on file with the
Clerk of the Board.
SEQR ACTION: TYPE II -20
RESOLUTION NO. 208 - AWARD OF BID - VENDING SERVICE FIVE-YEAR CONTRACT
MOVED by Mr. Booth, seconded by Mr. Totman. Mr. Booth noted that proceeds of the vending
contract are utilized, among other things, to send memorials for family members of County employees.
Members of the Board inquired whether the vending company can provide healthy snacks in their
machines. Ms. Kiefer stated she had voted no at the Committee level because she as a member of the
Energy Committee that had requested that the bid specifications include requirements related to energy
efficiency. Although Mr. Squires has just provided information on the cost per kilowatt for a variety of
machines she does not have information that provides a comparison with the other companies that bid
because they were not asked for it. Ms. Kiefer indicated that she will therefore not support the resolution
as a matter of principle. Mr. Proto also expressed concern and wished that any contract granted expressed
the wishes of the Board that a portion the snacks be of a healthy nature. Ms. Robertson inquired why this
particular company was chosen. Mr. Squires indicated that three companies bid and the Committee chose
this company due to the company being local while still providing adequate commission for the sales —
eighteen percent compared to twenty percent and sixteen percent. A voice vote on the resolution resulted
as follows: Ayes — 10, Noes — 1 (Representative Kiefer), Excused — 4 (Representatives Blanchard,
Joseph, Koplinka-Loehr, and Winch). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Finance Department has duly advertised for bids for Vending
Services at various County buildings, and
WHEREAS, three (3) bids were received on July 24, 2002, and publicly read, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Vending Committee and Government Operations
Committee, That the bid be awarded to Fine Host Corporation of Etna, New York,

RESOLVED, further, That County Administration is authorized to implement this bid on behalf
of the County.

resulted as follows: Ayes — 11, Noes — 0, Excused — 4 (Representatives Blanchard, Joseph, Koplinka-
Loehr, and Winch). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Board of Representatives authorized participation in the 2002

WHEREAS, the Records Manager, Robert Hillick, in the Personnel Department is eligible and

Committees, That Robert Hillick be authorized to retire under the terms of the 2002 Early Retirement
Incentive Program,
RESOLVED, further, That the fiscal target adjustment will be made in one blanket resolution
later this year for all those approved for the Early Retirement option.

PAY AT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE
MOVED by Mrs. Schuler, seconded by Mr. Booth. Mr. Proto inquired whether in a sad situation
such as this where the opening is due to death, does it still require the normal hiring procedures that
require Fiscal Management's approval. Mr. Whicher said that it would still require approval of the Fiscal
Management position. A short roll call vote resulted as follows: Ayes — 11, Noes — 0, Excused — 4
(Representatives Blanchard, Joseph, Koplinka-Loehr, and Winch). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.

lengthy process and will assist in moving forward with the possibility of providing much needed dental
service in the future. Mrs. Schuler is in receipt of many letters coming from families of children with
special needs as to the continuation of programs. It is important to note that the County is mandated to
provide these services. Mr. Proto said that the establishment of a dental clinic was postponed at this time

Report from the Ethics Advisory Board
Ms. Kiefer, Chair, reported that the Board held its annual meeting on August 19, 2002. She said
that Mr. Wood, County Attorney, reported that the 2002 financial disclosure forms submitted by County
personnel were filed and noted that there were no problems to report. Following Mr. Wood's report the
Board reviewed information received regarding the complaint brought forth about the City of Ithaca.
Following a question and answer period by members of the Ethics Advisory Board on procedural matters,
Mr. Wood was requested to write to the parties involved in the complaint and request a written response
to the complaint by September 13, 2002. The next meeting of this Board will take place Monday,
September 23, 2002, at which time the parties may be asked to participate. Ms. Kiefer said that in the
event the City Ethics Code was found to have been breached, which would be a misdemeanor, it would be
up to the District Attorney to pursue the issue. Mr. Wood also said that there is the possibility of potential
fines under the City's Code and the Advisory Board could recommend them as well. Mr. Penniman
inquired about the process that brought forth the matter. Ms. Kiefer said that although the City Attorney
could have dealt with the complaint, which came from another City "official" the City Attorney chose to
refer it to the County Ethics Advisory Board. Mr. Penniman inquired what City official could make a
complaint. Mr. Wood said that in the General Municipal Law it states "official of the city." He said that
he felt that the County should not make that determination and requested from the City Attorney if this
individual was in fact such, and the response indicated that the complainant was, in the opinion of the
City Attorney, an official. Mr. Proto inquired whether the statutes extend to any municipality within the
County who does not have an Ethics Advisory Board. Mr. Wood indicated that yes, it does cover all
municipalities within the County.
Approval of Minutes of August 6, 2002
It was MOVED by Mr. Todd, seconded by Ms. McBean, and unanimously adopted by voice vote
by members present, to approve the minutes of August 6, 2002 as submitted. MINUTES APPROVED.
Unfinished Business
Mr. Proto asked if there is any action available to the Board to act as a memorial to those lost last
year during the attacks made on September 11, 2001 and what the appropriate procedure would be. Mr.
Lane felt that the Government Operations Committee would be the starting point. Mr. Booth, Vice Chair
of the Government Operations Committee, will see that the subject is put on the agenda. Mr. Booth
inquired of the County Attorney whether the Chair of the Board has the authority to lower flags. Mr.
Wood indicated that it has been done on occasion and that there are provisions defined in the law. He
will provide this information to Government Operations Committee as well.
Adjournment
On motion the meeting adjourned at 8:02 p.m.

No. 8 of 2002 Providing for the Automatic Renewal of the Senior Citizen Real Property Tax
Exemption, and asked if anyone wished to speak. No one wished to speak and the public hearing was

Presentation of Proclamation(s)
Chair Joseph presented the following proclamation(s):
• Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month - September 2002 — to Mary
Agnew, Executive Director, Alcoholism Council of Tompkins County, and Bill
Rusen, Cornerstone Recovery Service
• Leukemia and Lymphoma Awareness Month — September 2002
• September 11, 2002 — Remembrance Day
Mr. Joseph took this opportunity to make a personal statement reflecting on September 11th.
"A year ago when the planes hit the building and the towers came down, I hoped for a moment
that it would shock the world into a realization that we have to make fundamental changes in how we deal
with each other. That responding to hate with hate, and violence with violence, would mean intolerable
death and destruction. That of course was naive, and what we actually saw was a wave of bias,
stereotyping, suspicion, and persecution of Arabs, foreigners, and anyone who questioned official policies
and actions. We saw our own leaders insist that the only possible response to violence is greater violence,
and we saw political leaders all over the world justify their own brutality and repression of opposition as
part of a global war on terrorism.
"A few weeks ago we had another local example of hate breaking out into violence. The attacks
of September 11th and the attack on Patricia Morris were vastly different in scope and impact, but they
differed not at all in their fundamental nature. In both cases a group of people acted out of hatred against
innocent individuals. In both cases they ignored the common humanity that they shared with their
victims, and instead of seeing human beings with lives and families and hopes and dreams they saw
symbols of what they hated and they attacked the symbols, and the human beings died. It seems clear to
me that it is no longer possible to have safety in the world or on our own streets through simple power
and strength. Only the elimination of hate can bring us real security. Only by acknowledging and
treasuring our links to each other can we counter those who seek to divide us. Only by working together
to solve our mutual problems can we overcome our mutual ability to destroy each other. Only when we
look at others and see ourselves will we act out of love and compassion rather than hatred and anger, and
I hope that on the anniversary of September 11th those thoughts will be foremost in our minds. Thank
you."

September 3, 2002
Privilege of the Floor by the Public
Naomi Strichartz, Deputy Supervisor for the Town of Danby, spoke of the tension exhibited in
the past several years between the Towns and the County. She spoke in support of the Outings program
and felt that elimination of it would not help with the tension felt between the legislative groups. She said
that the program has been in place for twenty-five years and has proven itself to be a valuable tool in
shaping the youth of the County. Ms. Strichartz expressed concern that the youth who may most need a
program such as this, to make a difference between being successful and becoming a statistic in the
human service and public safety fields, were being marginalized. She said that the entire community will
lose if the program is gone and the County will pay additional dollars in other areas. She then said that all
of the Towns are requesting that the Outings program remain intact. Mr. Dietrich is working on a revised
budget to present to Board members for their review that would allow the program to operate. She also
said that the Tompkins County Youth Bureau has declined to decrease staff funding, finding it more
expedient to kill the top-rated program in the County. She asked that the Board listen to the wishes of the
Towns and the people making up the County; not to be part of the problem that divides the towns with the
County, but choose to be part of the solution.
Monica Bosworth, employee of the Ithaca Youth Bureau Outings Program, read and submitted
the following statement:
"I'm here today because of the reports that I've heard back of various committees of yours
concerning the kids that have gotten up here to speak over the last few weeks. We asked a number of our
kids to get up in front of you to tell what the Outings Program has meant to them, which they did and did
a wonderful job at it too. But what we have heard is that many of you on key committees have taken the
kids' ability to stand up in front of you and speak, and the courage that it took for many of them to do
that, as evidence that we serve primarily well-off, well -adjusted kids and that our services are not really
needed.
"This is a misconception. Many, if not most, needy kids, at -risk children, disadvantaged youth
are able to speak well in defense of those things that matter to them. Our kids might not have fit certain
preconceived notions of the type of youth we're supposed to be serving. Perhaps we should have asked
each of the speakers to identify explicitly which disadvantaged categories they fit into: Who has been in
foster care? Who hasn't seen their biological mother since they were 5 years old? Whose stepfather
threatened his/her life when he was in high school? Who has learning disabilities? Who was thrown out
of their house by their parents? Whose family lives in poverty and is having a hard time making ends
meet? We can't ask kids to stand up here and say these things about themselves in order to convince you
to feel sorry for them. They want to talk about the successes they've had because Outings has helped
them out, has helped them to be the people they want to be, to live up to their highest potential; we cannot
instead ask them to recite a litany of all the things in their lives that have been horrible and humiliating
and that they've had to overcome, especially in a room full of adult strangers in a formal setting. The fact
that they came here and spoke and somehow managed to convince a significant number of you that they
are all from well-educated, middle to upper class families with few personal problems, is a credit to them
and to the Outings Program.
"The Outings Program serves our community as a whole — and we make a special effort to
connect with those kids who have the most needs and we do so successfully. I have been told by school
personnel that 11 out of 12 kids in my program one year were "classified" in the school's system. Could
you tell by looking at them? No. They are human beings, not stereotypes. I ask you to let go of your
assumptions that tell you that kids with certain backgrounds automatically look, act and speak in a certain
way. Make the effort to get to know them and their stories instead of just assuming everything is hunky
dory because a teen knows how to put together meaningful sentences. It's not just rich, privileged kids
that know how to do that.
293
September 3, 2002
"So what is the Outings Program all about? It is all about helping kids to become compassionate
and effective community members — everything else we do and all of our other objectives come together
under that one overarching goal. What do you need to have to develop into effective and compassionate
community members?
• You need a sense of responsibility, both for yourself and your own actions and attitudes, and for
other people.
• You need the ability to listen well to what others are saying or trying to say.
• You need the self-confidence to be able to speak your ideas and feelings honestly and
effectively.
• You need to be able to solve problems as part of a group, to learn how to reach out to those who
may be different from you and encourage others.
• You need to learn the awareness it takes to look out for yourself and the rest of the group.
"That is what Outings is all about. Outdoor adventure is merely the tool that we use to achieve
these other goals — we use it because it is one of the very best tools for achieving these goals. And having
kids from all walks of life, of every academic ability level, of each gender, and from a variety of
economic and social groups come together in an Outings group and strive to reach these goals, often in
spite of themselves, in order to get the adventures of their dreams is truly an amazing thing to see. It is
one of the great strengths of the Outings Program.
"Whatever choice you as a board eventually decide upon in regards to the Outings Program, I feel
that it is important that you know these things before you act:
1) We serve a huge variety of kids and that is one of our greatest strengths;
2) Outings is all about helping kids to develop themselves into compassionate and effective
group members;
3) We make a special effort to connect with those who most need attention and assistance
and these kids do not necessarily embody preconceived ideas of what it means to be needy
or at risk.
"Thank you."
Ms. Bosworth said that letters they have been collecting will be forwarded to the Board Office
within the next several days. She also invited members of the Board to come and see the program and
meet the participants.
Edith Rohrer, Town of Enfield resident, spoke to the Board about the proposed budget increase
and the hardship it would create for her. She spoke of being a senior citizen on a fixed Social Security
income. Ms. Rohrer said her annual increase is offset by Medicare increases and, therefore, is not an
increase in income. She spoke of the need for the Board to look out for the people of the districts and
asked them to speak to their constituents, listen, take notes, make cuts in salaries or possibly freeze
salaries. She asked the Board to decline requests to agencies for more monies and have them learn to
"tighten their belts." Ms. Rohrer also suggested that Board members freeze their pay increases.
Sheriff Meskill spoke to the Board stating that he wished to clarify an article in the newspaper
during the past week. He said that there are two fully -trained, and one partially -trained deputy on staff to
provide marine patrol on the lake. He then informed the Board that the training process provided to
officers is two-part, the first being in May, when a week-long training takes place. This training period
provides both the beginning and advanced courses simultaneously so it takes a longer period to fully train
deputies for this duty. Sheriff Meskill said that Deputies Lampman and Dresser are sharing this duty
during the heavy boating season and they are seeking new recruits to be trained in the future.
294
September 3, 2002
Privilege of the Floor by Board Members
Mr. Lane, District No. 14 Representative, said school tax bills went out this week and anticipated
that property owners will be shocked by the potential increases. He said at the present time there are
more unfunded state mandates and a rising value in real property that is presently driven by the "hot" real
estate market and lower interest rates. He said in the near future the County will be moving forward with
the budget and will very likely have a double-digit tax increase. He said we cannot continue to have the
State budget deficit shifted to real property taxes and there is a need to send a message to Albany that the
cost of New York State government should be shouldered by the government, not the locality. Mr. Lane
suggested that the State should give funding for mandates and Medicaid mandates should be phased into a
takeover by the State.
Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Representative, thanked Mr. Joseph for the September 11 proclamation.
Mr. Proto responded to Ms. Strickhartz's and Ms. Bosworth's comments regarding the youth who spoke
at previous Board meetings. He said that he was not aware of anyone being cavalier about how the youth
addressed the Board and their remarks will be taken to heart. Mr. Proto said he felt that this will be a very
difficult budget season and all remarks will be listened to and considered carefully during the process.
Mr. Booth, District No. 3 Representative, also thanked Mr. Joseph for the September 11
proclamation. He noted that regarding Mr. Joseph's personal statement he felt obliged to react briefly and
said that he has not agreed with everything the Federal government has done or said since September 11.
Mr. Booth said that he thought Mr. Joseph's comments might reflect a conclusion that American policies
since September 11 have been driven entirely or largely by hate and anger. He said while these are
relevant factors, he does not believe this type of conclusion is correct.
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, District No. 11 Representative, said those individuals who spoke this
evening on the issues of the budget highlight very dramatically the forces the Board is under to try to
come into a reasonable tax rate without cutting critical programs. He said that letters to the Ithaca Journal
Editor and letters in support of various programs are coming to the Board and will continue. Mr.
Koplinka-Loehr said he hopes that the public will continue notifying members of the Board as this will
assist in the decision-making process for the budget.
Ms. Robertson, District No. 13 Representative, said she appreciated Mr. Joseph's September 11
proclamation and statement. She stated that she felt Mr. Joseph's statement was personal in nature and
appreciated his willingness to speak freely. She reminded constituents to vote on Tuesday, September 10,
2002, in the primary election and noted people who register as an Independent do not have a voice in the
political parties' primary elections.
Report from Municipal Official
Fredric Dietrich, Supervisor for the Town of Danby, spoke of the make-up of the Board and the
change it made from a Board of Supervisors to Board of Representatives several decades ago. He said
that he has spoken to municipalities when he served as President of the Municipal Officer's Association
and has recognized the rift that exists between municipalities and County government. Mr. Dietrich said
that some issues stated by individuals were not always brought forward in a manner that coincided with
the feelings of a town, however, he felt that perhaps there is more ability to balance an issue and look
more objectively in the Board's present forum. He said he watches the televised meetings of the Board
and appreciates that it is available. Mr. Dietrich recognized that the Board has a difficult time ahead of it
and that it is important to listen to what is going on, get in touch with the people, and deal with the issues
in the best manner possible.
295
September 3, 2002
Chair's Report and Appointment(s)

There was no report from the County Administrator.
Report from the County Attorney
Mr. Wood reported that the Town of Ithaca case concerning the Bostwick Road facility continues

Lounsbery Road Bridge Replacement (Bin 3314100)
• Amendment to the 2002 — 2006 Capital Program — Brooktondale Bridges Phase 1— Lounsbery
Road Bridge Replacement (Bin 3314100)
Withdrawal of Resolution(s) from the Agenda
No resolution(s) were withdrawn from the agenda.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Public Works Committee
Ms. Blanchard, Chair, said that the Committee has not had a regular meeting since the last Board
meeting. The next meeting will be on September 5, 2002 at 3:00 p.m. She reported a special meeting
was held prior to the regular Board meeting together with the Budget Committee to consider the award of
bid of the Brooktondale bridge project. Ms. Blanchard said there is also a possibility the New York State
Department of Transportation may authorize ninety-five percent reimbursement. She said the second
resolution is required for the project to continue.
RESOLUTION NO. 212 — APPROPRIATION FROM CONTINGENT FUND AND AWARD OF
BID — BROOKTONDALE BRIDGES PHASE 1— LOUNSBERY ROAD
BRIDGE REPLACEMENT (BIN 3314100)
MOVED by Ms. Blanchard, seconded by Mr. Proto.
296
September 3, 2002
Mr. Penniman reported this resolution failed in Budget and Capital Committee because it was felt
if reimbursement did not go through, the local share of the project would almost double. He also said that
it was felt that the bidding climate was not good at this time and perhaps waiting until spring would
provide a more favorable bidding climate and also allow time to know whether there would be a
reimbursement. Mr. Totman felt that it would not cause a hardship to wait as the bridge had been closed
down for a period of time and perhaps the funds should be spent on highway projects where paving is
much needed.
Ms. Blanchard clarified that the cost would increase from approximately $53,000 to $90,000 local
share from the last request. Mr. Lane said he understands the frustration Mr. Totman may feel concerning
delays in a variety of projects and said that many are due to the $7 million reduction last fall from the
State. Mr. Lane said that this project has been coming forward for nine years and that if we do not take
advantage of Federal dollars for transportation there may be fewer in the future. Mr. Proto said that the
local share of this project is relatively small and reminded individuals that funds from the initial project
included two bridges were shifted to cover cost over -runs on the North Triphammer Road project. He
also said that funds have already been invested for the infrastructure. Mr. Proto recognized there are
other roads needing work, but feels the school, ambulance, fire department, and residents of the
community need this vital bridge. Mr. Winch questioned the ability to be successful in starting this year
due to regulations from the Department of Conservation regarding creek work. He said he would support
it because he feels that the task will be equally as difficult next year. Ms. Blanchard said that the County
has told the Town of Caroline that it would accept the offer to pay in advance in order to complete this
project and felt it would be embarrassing not to do so. Questions were asked about the dollar figures in
the resolution and it was suggested that the figures reflect the full cost of the project in the event there is
no reimbursement given. Ms. McBean inquired how many bids were received and was informed by Ms.
Blanchard there were two.
A roll call vote on the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes — 11 (Representatives Blanchard,
Herrera, Joseph, Koplinka-Loehr, Lane, McBean, Proto, Robertson, Schuler, Todd, and Winch); Noes — 3
(Representatives Booth, Penniman, and Totman); Excused - 1 (Representative Kiefer). RESOLUTION
ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, Resolution No. 189 of 2002 authorized an agreement with the State of New York
whereby State and Federal sources will furnish ninety-five percent of the funding necessary to replace the
Lounsbery Road bridge over Six -Mile Creek (BIN 3314100) for a total construction cost up to $780,000,
and
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Finance Department has duly advertised for bids for the
project, and
WHEREAS, two (2) bids were received on August 27, 2002, and publicly read, and
WHEREAS, the low bid exceeded the amount authorized by Resolution No. 189 of 2002 by
$42,339.95, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Public Works Committee, That the bid be awarded to
Economy Paving Company, Inc., of Cortland, lowest responsible bidder, in the amount of $822,339,95,
pending approval of the bid by the New York State Department of Transportation,
RESOLVED, further, That the Highway Division be authorized to implement this bid and
execute change orders with total values not to exceed 0.5% of the aforementioned bid amount on behalf
of the County, funds to be provided from the Brooktondale Bridges capital account
(HZ5103.59239.53.07) and an additional $42,339.35 be appropriated from Contingency Account
A1990.54400, to Account A9576 Contribution to Construction, to provide for the increased local share of
the project.

RESOLUTION NO. 213 — AMENDMENT TO THE 2002 — 2006 CAPITAL PROGRAM —
BROOKTONDALE BRIDGES PHASE 1— LOUNSBERY ROAD
BRIDGE REPLACEMENT (BIN 3314100)
MOVED by Ms. Blanchard, seconded by Mr. Proto. Mr. Booth asked that the following
explanation be included in the minutes: The existing capital project of $900,000, includes $700,000 for
construction and $200,000 for design, contingencies, and other expenses. The third explanatory note
should read: Adoption of this resolution expands the capital project to $1,070,000, including
approximately $828,000 for construction, and approximately $242,000 for design, contingencies, and
other expenses. Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, requested that the figures in the body of the resolution be amended
to reflect the highest possible cost if the reimbursement is not received. This would amend the figures to
$87,339.95 and $118,160.05.
A voice vote on the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes — 11 (Representatives Blanchard,
Herrera, Joseph, Koplinka-Loehr, Lane, McBean, Proto, Robertson, Schuler, Todd, and Winch); Noes — 3
(Representatives Booth, Penniman, and Totman); Excused - 1 (Representative Kiefer). RESOLUTION
ADOPTED.

and
WHEREAS, the low bid exceeded the amount authorized by Resolution No. 189 of 2002 by
$42,339.95, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Public Works Committee, That the 2002 Capital
Program be amended to reflect the change in the total cost of the Project from $900,000 to $1,070,000
with the Federal Reimbursement increase from $720,000 to $856,000 and the State Reimbursement
decrease from $135,000 to $118,160.05 leaving a local share increase from $45,000 to $87,339.95.

Report from the Economic and Workforce Development Committee
Mr. Lane, Chair, reported the Committee has not met since the last Board meeting. The
Committee will meet on September 12, 2002 from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. for budget reviews.
Report from the Budget and Capital Committee
Mr. Penniman, Chair, said that the Committee has met twice since the last Board meeting. At last
week's meeting the Committee reviewed the County Administrator's recommended budget. He reminded
Board members that in spite of the proposed property tax increase that there are extensive cuts already
within the budget. He referred to the message received by the County Administrator regarding position
cuts recommended, and noted there are additional positions vacant that were not requested to be filled.
He also said that the recommendations indicate transition to alternative funding sources, consolidation,
and other means of reorganization in a number of programs. There are some programs that had requested
extended funding for multiple years to seek financing elsewhere that were only recommended for a one-
year period. Mr. Penniman thanked Mr. Whicher and Mrs. Smithers for their work on the
recommendations.
The Committee also discussed the Information Technology Services wide area network upgrade
and the aquifer study, and are in the process of obtaining information on the scope and order of the project
to be undertaken. This information is hoped to be available by the end of September in order to be
considered within the overall budget. Mr. Penniman noted that the amount of funding available for
capital projects next year is greatly reduced from requested amounts.
Mr. Penniman provided members of the Board with copies of anticipated savings and surpluses
during the current year and a draft copy of proposed budget meeting schedules for October. He requested
members contact him by the end of the week if there were any conflicts. Mr. Proto inquired if any
discussion took place on the subject of local income tax. Mr. Penniman said that the Committee had not
discussed it and felt that it would be a matter to review following the budget adoption. He also said that
there is a resolution coming from the Committee regarding State income tax that requests no further
reductions in the implementation in order to make more funds available to county governments. Mr.
Penniman said a final budget meeting calendar will be available next week.
Report from the Public Safety Committee
Mrs. Schuler, Chair, reported the Committee has not met since the last Board meeting. Budget

Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Charter Review Committee
Mr. Lane, Chair, reported that the Committee met August 28, 2002, and reviewed three articles of
the Charter: Probation, Financial Procedures and Controls, and the Department of Finance. He said that it
is the hope of the Committee to be close to completion in October. He noted there has been difficulty in
making a decision with regard to the new name of the Probation Department. The preferred name of
"Tompkins County Department of Probation and Community Justice" was unanimously approved by the
Public Safety Committee, however, the name approved by the Charter Review Committee is "Tompkins
County Probation and Alternatives". Further discussion will take place at the next meeting on September
11, 2002.
RESOLUTION NO. 215 - INTENT TO CHANGE THE NAME OF "1'11l; BOARD OF
REPRESENTATIVES" TO THE "TOMPKINS COUNTY
LEGISLATURE"
MOVED by Mr. Lane, seconded by Mr. Penniman. Mr. Lane said this is the intent to change the
name of the Board of Representatives, and would not actually occur until the Charter revisions are
completed. Mr. Proto inquired as to the cost of making this name change. Mr. Joseph said that he had
been asked this question and was informed that there is little impact outside of the actual Board of
Representatives office, and the cost for the change would be minimal. Mr. Joseph said if the changes are
made it was estimated to cost approximately five hundred dollars. Mr. Wood, County Attorney, said that
he felt there would be many changes within the Charter and Code that could potentially add to the cost.
Mr. Lane replied that the majority of the Charter is changing and would require a reprint and that the
name change would be done at the same time.
A voice vote on the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes — 13 (Representatives Blanchard, Booth,
Herrera, Joseph, Koplinka-Loehr, Lane, McBean, Penniman, Proto, Robertson, Schuler, Todd, and
Totman); Noes — 1 (Representative Winch); Excused - 1 (Representative Kiefer). RESOLUTION
ADOPTED.

Report from the Communications Capital Projects Committee
Ms. Blanchard, Chair, reported that the Committee met on August 27, 2002. The Request for
Proposals (RFP) for the upgrade to the Public Safety Communications System had just been opened and
there were not a lot of details yet available. She did say that staff had learned that two vendors
responded: Motorola, who presented three separate proposals, and Clough Harbour who presented a
proposal to be a subcontractor for project and site management. She noted that Clough Harbour's
response was separate as it did not respond to the RFP. With regard to the Motorola proposals, the cost
varied between 10.8 and 15.5 million dollars, excluding subscriber equipment. They involved a variety of
tower configurations that involve reusing some existing towers, a few new towers, and rebuilding some
sites. The three designs varied in technology between simulcast and multicast which is a fine point that
does not effect the operation to any degree.
300
September 3, 2002
At this point, the County is in sync with the State-wide network project and the Committee
discussed how the proposals will be evaluated. This evaluation is fairly complicated and will involve a
user group to analyze the information to determine if any should be discarded and how they will fit the
needs of the user group. The evaluation team will be composed of Steve Whicher, Lee Shurtleff, Mikel
Shakarjian, and Jonathan Wood. This team will be receiving information from the NYSTEC consultants
that have been used in the past. The evaluation team will be communicating the progress as they move
through the evaluation and will report to Mr. Totman and Ms. Robertson. In the next few weeks a
meeting will take place with Mr. Penniman while at the New York State Association of Counties meeting.
Ms. Blanchard said the bid is good for a six-month period that allows time to review the proposals as well
as determine what the Statewide Network learns when they open their proposals on January 3, 2003.
Ms. Blanchard said that the paging project is moving forward. At the present time a scope of
services is being prepared with United Radio so that the final design can be refined. Mr. Shurtleff
recommended pausing work on the project temporarily until the request for proposals from the Public
Safety Communications System are reviewed in order to make certain that all items are compatible. Mr.
Whicher had reported to the Committee that the Governor's office has authorized its staff and the staff of
the Statewide Network to work with Tompkins County to negotiate the issues and terms of a partnership.
Mr. Todd was excused at 7:00 p.m.
The Communications Center Building Committee met on August 23, 2002. At that time they
learned that the cost on the project went up several hundred thousand dollars due to an increased electrical
load and changes in the HVAC and sprinkler system. The cost is still under three million dollars. This
committee asked Communications and Capital Projects Committee to authorize the final development of
contract documents and it was unanimous to authorize Egner Associates to prepare the final documents.
In the meantime, the Committee is looking at the equipment to be installed.
Lastly, Ms. Blanchard said that Mr. Marx, Planning Commissioner, reported that activities on the
Department of Transportation relocation are moving forward and there will be a joint meeting with
officials from Department of Transportation, and the Town and Village of Dryden, regarding the
proposed sites.
Ms. Robertson said that the six-month time frame for the evaluation of the Motorola proposal
provides time to review information the State receives on their Statewide Network proposal. Ms.
Blanchard agreed that the timing is good and it provides an understanding of the proposals as well as
allow comparison with the State's proposals.
Mr. Booth said the 911 building committee asked that possible savings through NYSERDA
grants be looked into to reduce costs.
Report from the Fiscal Management Committee
Mr. Joseph, Chair, reported the Committee has not met for regular business since the last Board
meeting.
Report from the Public Safety Building Space Planning Committee
Mr. Joseph, Chair, said the Committee met and went over responses received on a request for

Report from the Space Needs and Location Committee
Mr. Joseph, Chair, said the Committee met and had general discussions regarding numerous

Report from the Ethics Advisory Board
Ms. Kiefer, Chair, was absent to provide a report. Mr. Proto inquired whether any form of update
was available on the status of the complaint currently being handled by the Committee. Mr. Wood,
County Attorney, said that at the last meeting it was determined to request a response to the individual's
complaint from the parties involved in this matter. At the present time one response has been received,
the other is due by the end of the next week. These responses will go to Committee members for their
review and determination. The Ethics Board will next meet on September 23.

Privilege of the Floor by the Public
Nancy Zahler, Director of the Tompkins County Youth Bureau, spoke of the young people who
attended recent Board meetings and expressed their feelings about the Outings Program. She recognized
them for the amount of courage they displayed as they presented themselves at the microphone and
addressed the Board. Ms. Zahler spoke of the Outings Program and said the Executive Committee of the
Tompkins County Youth Board has prepared a letter that will be distributed to all Board members in
which the value .of the program is stated and provides reasons behind the Youth Board's decisions. She
summarized the contents of the letter and said it poses policy questions such as whether the Board wants
to invest in effective prevention programs that reach troubled youth from throughout the County to avoid
more costly placements of foster care and the criminal justice system. The letter also addresses whether
the Board wants to continue to foster intermunicipal collaborative model that couples specialized service,
expertise, and equipment from a centralized provider with a network of local staff and teachers from
throughout the community.
Ms. Zahler conveyed a message from the Tompkins County Youth Board that they appreciate the
support and commitment that has already been made by Tompkins County to families and youth in the
community. They also hope the Board will increase the Youth Bureaus' funding to enable them to
maintain their current level of service.
Ms. Zahler presented a fmal project report from E.R.A. (Economics Research Associates) entitled
Evaluation of Recreation Options for Cass Park, Stewart Park, and Newman Golf Course in Tompkins
County, New York. She said she will keep the Board informed as the process moves forward and will
place a copy of the full report on file in the Board of Representatives' Office.
Fay Gougakis, City of Ithaca, spoke concerning the recent police efforts towards aggressive
driving. She said she has been complaining for a long time to the City about speeding and although a
new effort is being made she does not believe it will be enough. Ms. Gougakis said the City currently has
three vacant police officer positions and has no plans to fill them due to budget problems. She said this is
upsetting to her because she feels public safety is important and should be a priority. Ms. Gougakis asked
Board members to urge City officials to fill these positions. She also believes the colleges should be
assisting financially in this effort as well.
303
September 17, 2002
Kelly Dietz, City of Ithaca, spoke to the Board in regard to expansion of the Tompkins County
Public Safety Building. She said she does not feel enough is being done to identify the systemic reasons
behind the overcrowding of the jail that have nothing to do with increases in crime rates. Ms. Dietz said
these reasons include delays in arraignments, trials, and sentencing; unreasonable bails; and a lack of
some type of half -way house or transition residence. She said there does not seem to be enough
commitment to alternative -to -incarceration programs and expressed concern about a lack of use to
available alternative -to -incarceration programs that currently exist in Tompkins County, such as the
Conditional Release Program. Ms. Dietz said instead of planning for a new jail she would rather see
better coordination amongst agencies.
Andy Doyle, City of Ithaca, spoke concerning expansion of the Tompkins County Public Safety
Building. He said he recently traveled to Albany to talk about prison overcrowding and building new
prisons. Mr. Doyle said over the last thirty years spending on prisons has increased substantially, while
spending on education has decreased. He stated there is also an inherit racism that exists at both the State
and local level in the prison system that is not being addressed. Mr. Doyle spoke of constructing a new
jail in Tompkins County and said he feels that would only intensify the problem that exists because it will
take the pressure off of finding new solutions.
Katie Williams, Brooktondale resident and a teacher at the McCormick Youth Center, spoke
concerning expansion of the Tompkins County Public Safety Building. Ms. Williams said she teaches a
criminal law class at the Youth Center and works primarily with individuals who are high-school
graduates or those who have received their G.E.D.'s. All of these students are felony offenders and many
were incarcerated before the age of 12. She said their entire identity is based on incarceration and yet
they still have the courage and the desire to come back into the community and be productive. Ms.
Williams said if the public is to accept a society where one in every 32 people have an association with
the legal system, then the public has to accept that responsibility. She said in order to do that, society
needs to educate those individuals, not incarcerate them.
Privilege of the floor by the Public was reopened after the Tompkins Cortland Community
College presentation to accommodate individuals who arrived later.
Privilege of the Floor by Board Members
Ms. Kiefer, District No. 10 and Chair of the Ethics Advisory Board, announced the September 23
meeting has been rescheduled to September 30 at 11 a.m.
Mr. Todd, District No. 6 Representative, reported he had an opportunity to meet with Valeria
Coggin, Director of Assessment, who supplied him with interesting information. He said he learned the
total property value assessment in Tompkins County is approximately $7 billion and about half of that is
taxable. He said the Assessment in the Town of Lansing in the past year went up by 7.65 percent which
is much more than any other area in the County. The total assessed valuation in Lansing was $829
million and is almost the same as the entire City of Ithaca in terms of taxable property. The difference is
that there is approximately $2 billion in the City of Ithaca that is exempt from paying property tax.
Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Representative and Chairman of the Water Resources Council, reported
the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has promulgated new storm water
regulations. He said any time an acre or more of land is involved, a DEC -approved plan has to be in
place for storm water management. Mr. Proto said the plans have to be submitted by March, 2003 and
will be implemented by 2008. He said this will be most applicable in the City of Ithaca, Town and
Village of Lansing, Village of Cayuga Heights, portions of the Towns of Ithaca and Dryden, and the
Town of Ithaca. The cost in the Town of Ithaca of this new regulation has been modestly estimated at $1
million. Mr. Proto said the Water Resources Council is planning a public education program and will
hold a seminar next month for highway superintendents and municipal officials. He hopes to have more
information to provide to Board members at the next Board meeting.
304
September 17, 2002
Ms. Blanchard, District No. 2 Representative, referred to Mr. Proto's comments and asked him to
find out whether or not this is intended to replace the local municipality's ability to approve storm water
drainage plans as part of site plan review.
Representative Lane, District No. 14 Representative, reported a primary election was held last
Tuesday in which he was a candidate. He said he was not successful in that election, but extended
congratulations to Barbara Lifton who was successful.
Representative Herrera, District No. 5 Representative, announced Latino Heritage Month will be
celebrated in Tompkins County September 16 thru October 19, 2002 and encouraged Board members to
attend some of the many events that will be held during that time.
Report from a Municipal Official
No municipal official was in attendance.
Presentation - Tompkins Cortland Community College
Carl Haynes, President of Tompkins Cortland Community College, presented the following
report on the College's Master Plan. He noted the presentation is for information only at this time; items
requiring approval will be presented to the Board at a later date.
FACTSHEET MASTER PLAN
Summary of Master Plan. The College's $21 million dollar master plan includes a digital media center,
new classrooms, cyber cafe, mini -conference facility, athletic facility, and infrastructure repairs. The plan
calls for all athletic and recreation space to be moved to a new, stand-alone athletic facility, creating room
in the College's main building for new instructional space.
The new facilities will help the college accommodate record enrollment, which has grown 35 percent in
the past five years with another double-digit increase expected this year. The plan also accommodates
strong growth and change in the new media curriculum and in the inter -collegiate athletics program.
Master Plan Funding. The State University of New York develops a capital construction budget every five
years. The next one is due to the state legislature for approval in early 2003. This budget pays for 50
percent of all SUNY community college master plan projects, including the plan submitted by TC3 in
December 2001. The remaining 50 percent is called "the local share" and is the responsibility of
sponsoring county governments. In TC3's case, the local sponsors are Tompkins and Cortland counties.
TC3 has pledged to help the counties cover their local share through private fund raising and with funds
from its own capital chargeback account.
Seeking County Approval. SUNY has agreed to use funds remaining in its current capital construction
budget to pay for its share (50 percent) of the cost of design work for the new athletic facility. Total
estimated cost is $540,000. The remaining 50 percent, the local share, will be paid with funds from TC3's
capital chargeback account. The capital chargeback system requires a county to pay $300 per full time
equivalent student that attends a community college in another county. These funds can only be used for
capital projects on the campus that receives the funding.
Significance of County Approval. County approval now allows design work on the athletic facility to
begin this year. This facility must be completed first to create space in the main building for the
instructional components of the project. When the entire $21 million master plan receives final approval
from SUNY and our sponsoring counties (in 12 to 15 months), the project can be completed one year
305
September 17, 2002
sooner if design work on the athletic facility is completed within the next year. The college needs new
classroom space as soon as possible.
Privilege of the Floor by the Public (continued)
Meg Morris, Town of Ithaca resident, said she didn't move to Ithaca just to pay low taxes. She
stated she would prefer to have her taxes raised instead of cutting many important and worthwhile County
programs. She spoke of the quality of life in Tompkins County and stated many people reside here
because they value that quality of life.
John Aasen, Town of Lansing resident, said as a farm owner, he cannot support a 22 percent
property tax increase. Mr. Aasen said he understands there are some services the County must provide,
but feels this is not a realistic increase and feels the County needs to reduce the current budget proposal.
Jeff Cook, Town of Lansing resident, expressed concern about a 22 percent property tax increase
and said although services are needed, the County needs to examine what is absolutely necessary and cut
programs where possible.

Report from the County Administrator
Mr. Whicher distributed a full-time equivalent position report as requested by Representative
Proto. He also reported Judy Tynyk, Director of Weights and Measures, has submitted her resignation
and request for early retirement. He stated Ms. Tynyk has moved her office from her home into the new
Bostwick Road Public Works facility. Mr. Whicher said at a previous meeting he spoke of the need to
move the County's permanent records from the Biggs A building to the Old Library. He said a plan to do
that was prepared by Brooke Kominos, Bob Hillick, and Steve Estes for a small amount of money. He
noted this project was originally projected to cost approximately $30,000, but was done at almost no cost.
He thanked Sheriff Peter Meskill, Chief Deb Neimi, for allowing Officer Sean Shollenberger and the
Sheriffs Jail crew move the records. Mr. Whicher said this was a very collaborative and innovative
project that many employees were involved in. He thanked Anita Fitzpatrick, Personnel Commissioner,
for creating the work environment where this kind of solution was created.
Report from the County Attorney
Mr. Wood reported the argument with Town of Ithaca concerning the Bostwick Road Facility
was heard by the Appellate Division. He said he has not received a decision but feels confident the court
will rule in the County 's favor.

Report from the Finance Director

findings of anything being wrong.
Mr. Squires reported approximately 1,500 notices were sent to the public at the beginning of
September notifying them of unpaid 2002 taxes. Mr. Squires said if anyone received that notice and does
not pay the taxes for 2002 by September 30, they will be advertised in the October 5 issue of the Ithaca
Journal. He noted there is a 20 percent reduction from last year in the number of items that are
delinquent.

- URGING REAUTHORIZATION OF THE EARLY INTERVENTION
PROGRAM WHH,E MAINTAINING PRESENT FLEXIBILITY AND
ACCOUNTABILITY IN RATE STRUCTURE AND SERVICE
METHODOLOGY
MOVED by Mrs. Schuler, seconded by Mr. Proto. Mr. Proto called attention to item numbers
two and three and asked Mr. Penniman to reemphasize to the State during his trip to the NYSAC (New
York State Association of Counties) Conference that Tompkins County would like the structure of this
program to remain as it currently is. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 14, Noes - 0, Excused - 1
(Representative Winch). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, New York State's regulations governing the Early Intervention (El) Program will be
considered for reauthorization in 2003, and
WHEREAS, this reauthorization will include consideration of 1) the structure of rates to be paid,
2) the methodology of service delivery (how and where children receive services), and 3) procedures for
tracking and billing Early Intervention expenses, and
WHEREAS, the current rate structure and service methodology (number 1 and number 2 above)
work well for Tompkins County, providing substantial flexibility and accountability in the interests of
serving the needs of children on an individualized basis, and
WHEREAS, revision by New York State would be welcome in the area of procedures for
tracking and billing expenses, in order to streamline and simplify these procedures, and
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Health Department supports the five point recommendations
by the New York State Association of Counties regarding the proposed Early Intervention rate
restructure, as follows:
1) Promote the consultant model of service delivery to meet the family's outcomes for their child,
which should reflect child -specific developmental expectations that address the family's resources and
priorities rather than recommend "any or desired" service, and
2) Revise the current service taxonomy ("fee-for-service" reimbursements) rather than create a
new process (e.g., "bundled tuition", or flat -fee rate structure), and
3) Continue using the current rate methodology until a new process has been demonstrated to be
successful, and work to achieve consensus among the stakeholders of the Early Intervention Program
before a new rate methodology is imposed, and
4) New York State Department of Health and New York's counties should jointly monitor service
providers to work towards increased accountability of independent and agency providers, and
5) Every effort must be made to more equitably distribute the financial responsibility of this
statewide program, to reduce the current disproportionate burden on local tax dollars, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Health and Human Services Committee, That the
Tompkins County Board of Representatives urges Governor Pataki and the New York State Legislature to
consider these points in their deliberations concerning the reauthorization of the Early Intervention
Program,
RESOLVED, further, That the State consult and involve all of the Early Intervention
constituencies (counties, families, private providers and agency providers), including broad geographic
representation, in its reassessment of the Early Intervention fmancial structure,
RESOLVED, further, That a certified copy of this resolution be forwarded to Governor George E.
Pataki, Senator James Seward, Senator John Kuhl, Assemblyman Martin Luster, and New York State

MOVED by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, seconded by Mr. Totman, and unanimously adopted by voice

WHEREAS, in Resolution No. 225 of 2002, the County Board of Representatives would
authorize the sale of the "Caroline Pinnacles" land, tax parcel number 25.-1-24.2 to Cornell University,
and
WHEREAS, the parcel was acquired through foreclosure, was determined to have natural area
value and was therefore withheld from auction to investigate possible sale to an entity that would be
capable of protecting and willing to protect such value, which protection would be in the public interest,
and
WHEREAS, a sale to Cornell University should achieve that public goal, and
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Board of . Representatives has reviewed and accepted as
adequate an Environmental Assessment Form with respect to that action, now therefore be it

RESOLUTION NO. 225 - AUTHORIZATION TO CONVEY TO CORNELL UNIVERSITY
PARCEL NUMBER 25.-1-24.2 ("CAROLINE PINNACLES")
MOVED by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, seconded by Mr. Totman. Mr. Proto asked if a survey had
been completed on this property. Mr. Koplinka-Loehr said there is not a survey that was completed by
the County or Cornell University. Mr. Proto said he feels it is very unfortunate the County is going to
convey this property to Cornell without performing a survey. Mr. Whicher said the primary reason for
this is because the cost of the survey and deed search would have cost the County more than the property
is worth. A voice vote on the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes — 10; Noes - 4 (Representatives
Kiefer, Proto, Schuler, and Todd); Excused - 1 (Representative Winch). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, by tax foreclosure proceedings, the County acquired Tax Parcel number 25.-1-24.2
located on White Church Road in the Town of Caroline in 1998, and
314
September 17, 2002
WHEREAS, in accordance with the County Land Transactions Policy, the parcel was withheld
from the County auction in 1998 for two reasons: 1) to correct errors in property lines (regarding an
existing trailer on the land); and 2) to study the site's natural features, as it was in Unique Natural Area
#180, "Caroline Pinnacles," and
WHEREAS, members of the Environmental Management Council and the Finger Lakes Land
Trust visited the site in 1998, and found that a portion of it contained species which are rare or scarce in
this region (hair grass, glaucous honeysuckle, pitch pine, and downy arrowwood), and recommended that
this parcel be protected, and
WHEREAS, in 1999, lot boundaries for parcel no. 25-1-23 (the adjoining lot with a trailer on it
which did not appear in the 1998 tax maps) were corrected and the County's parcel became smaller and
changed shape, going from one large tract of 31.02 acres to a 30.41 acre parcel nearly split in two, and
WHEREAS, in 1999/2000, the County negotiated with Cornell University on the sale of the land,
and at Cornell's request the County agreed to split off one acre and the existing old house located on the
parcel, which subsequently sold in the 2000 auction for $5000, and
WHEREAS, during the survey of the one -acre lot, parcel no. 25-1-24.2 was reduced in size from
30.41 acres to 28.04 acres, and
WHEREAS, in 2000, Cornell University conducted a partial survey of the land, which estimated
that the County actually owned significantly less acreage (approximately 10 acres) than the County
thought, and that the survey indicated that the County probably does not own the environmentally
significant part of the site but that Cornell University does, and
WHEREAS, Cornell University remained very interested in acquiring the parcel because it
provides the best access to the environmentally significant portion of the site and that ownership of this
access is important to any potential future research projects regarding the environmentally significant
area; and
WHEREAS, the Government Operations Committee voted on March 12, 2002 to auction the
parcel in the 2002 auction, and
WHEREAS, on May 7, 2002, the County Board of Representatives passed Resolution No. 79
withdrawing the parcel from the public auction until a suitable method be determined to complete the
survey, and
WHEREAS, in June, 2002, the County received a cost estimate of $1,160 from T.G. Miller P.C.
to complete a boundary survey for the parcel, and
WHEREAS, in September, 2002, Cornell University tendered a purchase offer for acquiring the
land for $5,000, which includes the stipulation that the property shall be preserved and maintained as
Natural Areas pursuant to criteria established by the Cornell Plantations Natural Areas Committee or its
successor, and that no cellular tower or related equipment will be constructed on the property for 25 years,
and
WHEREAS, prior to considering any offering on this parcel all procedures of the County Land
Transaction Policy have been complied with, and acceptance of the purchase offer is recommended by the
Governmental Operations Committee, and
WHEREAS, the County Land Transaction Policy states that whenever the Board of
Representatives decides to negotiate a sale for less than the fair market value for real property, the
resolution shall clearly state the public purpose served by conveying for this price, and that the resolution
shall include the Assessment Department's estimate of the fair market value of the property at its highest
and best use, and
WHEREAS, the public purpose served by sale of this land to Cornell University is to protect
significant natural resources, and the Assessment Department estimates that the fair market value for this
parcel is $500 per acre, given the topography of the site, which results in a total value of either $14,000 if
the parcel is actually 28.04 acres to $5000 if the parcel is actually ten (10) acres, and
WHEREAS, contingent upon Board approval, said property shall be conveyed by Quit Claim
Deed to Cornell University for the sum of $5000, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Government Operations Committee, That upon
receiving required payment in full, that the County Administration be and hereby is authorized to execute
said Quit Claim Deed for said parcel acquired through foreclosure proceedings.

Mr. Penniman, Chairman, reported the Committee met on September 14 and devoted most of the

Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit budget.
RESOLUTION NO. 226 - URGING SUPPORT FOR STATE LEGISLATION PROVIDING
FOR PROPERTY TAX RELIEF BY INCREASING REVENUE FOR
COUNTIES DERIVED FROM THE NEW YORK STATE PERSONAL
INCOME TAX
MOVED by Mr. Penniman, seconded by Mr. Todd. Mr. Proto suggested removing the wording
"by those who can most afford it" in the first Resolved. Mr. Penniman said he could not agree to remove
that wording because he feels it is an important part of the resolution and is one of the real differences
between the income tax and property tax. He said the income tax more consistently taxes the higher
income levels. Mr. Proto also asked that the resolution include some reference to revenue sharing. Mr.
Penniman said his intention in bringing this to the Board now is to get it approved by the Board and take
it to the NYSAC Conference next week. He said some of the wording contained in the resolution is
intentionally unspecific to allow the opportunity for more county legislatures to support it and he would
prefer not to specify specific revenue programs that would be supported by this money. Mr. Joseph said
if an opportunity presents itself he will bring revenue sharing up at the meeting.
Mr. Lane thanked Mr. Penniman and his Committee for bringing this resolution forward. He said
he has spent the last five months speaking to residents and has found the number -one item they are
suffering from is high property taxes. He said this is an important item for the State to consider, as is
changing the way things such as schools are paid for.
Mr. Joseph said this is the first time since he has been involved in politics that he has seen a
governmental body talking about tax reform that means something other than simply cutting taxes. He
said this resolution addresses the fact that taxes are unfair and need to be reformed to change who pays
what proportion of them. He said this actually calls for an increase in taxes for the wealthiest people in
the State and for the stated reason that those people are not paying their fair share and too much is falling
on the lower and middle- income people and that is not fair. He said he hopes this is the opening of a
citizens uprising against the tax structure that this State now has. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes
- 14, Noes - 0, Excused - 1 (Representative Winch). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, based on results of the New York State Association of Counties survey of 2002
County Budgets, eighty-six percent of counties reported that their financial condition has deteriorated
over the past year, and
WHEREAS, counties have indicated that there are several reasons for their fiscal decline
including the increased cost of existing State mandates, a weak economy, and the impact of new State
mandates, and
316
September 17, 2002
WHEREAS, on average, county adopted budgets for 2002 have increased by five percent, with
counties reporting that on average, fifty-eight percent of their budgets are mandated by the State and not
discretionary to the county, and
WHEREAS, many counties are now projecting additional large increases in spending for 2003,
primarily due to State mandates, with the potential for large property tax increases, and
WHEREAS, Tompkins County is expecting a twenty-six percent total increase in the growth of
Medicaid costs paid by local taxes during the years 2002 and 2003, driven by several components
including the new costs associated with the Family Health Plus Program and spikes in prescription drug
and nursing home costs, and
WHEREAS, Tompkins County will be forced to increase spending by $3.1 Million for Medicaid
during 2002 and 2003, causing a 14.2 percent increase in property taxes during 2003, and
WHEREAS, given the burden of State mandates, counties are being forced to choose between
large tax increases and severe reductions in many other basic services that our citizens have come to
expect and require in order to maintain their quality of life, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Capital Committee, That the Tompkins
County Board of Representatives urges the State of New York to adopt legislation that will increase the
payment of taxes by those who can most afford it, by imposing a higher personal income tax rate for
individual incomes above $100,000, with an additional tax rate increase for incomes above $200,000,
RESOLVED, further, That the State use the additional funds to provide property tax relief to
counties through increased State reimbursements to counties for mandated programs,
RESOLVED, further, That the Clerk of the Board is directed to supply a copy of this resolution to
Honorable Sheldon Silver, Honorable James L. Seward, Honorable Martin Luster, Honorable Randy
Kuhl, and the Honorable Joseph Bruno.

September 17, 2002

Cortland Community College Foundation Project) ("the Bonds"), and
WHEREAS, the Foundation reasonably expects that it will (1) pay or incur certain capital
expenditures in connection with the acquisition, construction, and equipping of the Facility prior to the
issuance of the Bonds, (2) use funds from sources other than the proceeds of the Bonds which are or will
be available on a short-term basis to pay for such capital expenditure, and (3) reimburse itself for the use

1) To seek and obtain such consents, approvals and/or authorizations from the College's
sponsoring counties, and each of them, which may be necessary and appropriate to allow the College to

2) To enter into and execute a lease with the Foundation pursuant and further to which the
Foundation may construct and maintain (i) the Parking Lot, and (ii) the Dormitory to accommodate
students residing in the Foundation's dormitories, which lease will be satisfactory in form and substance
to the College's counsel and shall be for a term not to exceed thirty (30) years with an annual rent of One
Dollar ($1.00),
RESOLVED, further, That the President of the College hereby is authorized to execute any and
all agreements and/or instruments necessary to effectuate the foregoing,

Mr. Joseph, Member, reported the Committee met and reviewed the budget; the Committee will
meet on September 25.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Public Works Committee
Ms. Blanchard, Chair, reported the Committee met on September 5 and most of the business
conducted at that meeting is reflected on the agenda. She said Board members should have received a
copy of a document entitled the "Public Works Pipeline". This is a mid -year review that outlines where
the Public Works Department and various divisions are on their goals for 2002. Ms. Blanchard said the
Committee received a report on the leachate collection system at the Caswell Road Landfill and reported
that project is now under construction. This will result in a great improvement from an environmental
standpoint and also in the cost of managing the leachate that is generated at that landfill. She also
reported the TCAT budget will be discussed at the September 24 Budget and Capital Committee meeting.
She urged any Board member who did not have an opportunity to attend the TCAT budget presentation
last month to try to attend this meeting.

Report from the Charter Review Committee
Mr. Lane, Chairman, reported the Committee met and began reviewing some of the sections of
the Charter that were postponed at an earlier date. He asked Board members to contact Cathy Covert,
Clerk of the Board, with their opinion on a possible name change for the Probation Department. At this
time there are mixed opinions and the Committee would like to hear from other Board members.
Report from the Communications Capital Project Committee
Ms. Blanchard, Chair, reported the Committee has not met since the last Board meeting. She
announced the September 24 meeting has been cancelled. She reported the emergency dispatch center is
moving forward into the contract document phase. She said towers discussions have been concluded with
the Cornell Business Park and they have come to a reasonable agreement about a tower for that building.
Ms. Blanchard reported on the Paging system and said the Committee is discussing whether to move that
project forward on a fast track or whether they should try to integrate it into a larger system. This is
because the proposals that were received for the communications system upgrade included a lot of
opportunities for wrapping the paging system into that larger project while using the same infrastructure.
320
September 17, 2002
Ms. Blanchard reported the proposals that were received for the large communications upgrade are
continuing to be evaluated by staff and consultants. She stated representatives from the County will be
traveling to Albany at the end of the month to meet with Statewide officials and the Office of Technology
to present Tompkins County's plan. She also reported the Department of Transportation relocation
project continues to move forward.
Ms. Robertson asked for a written update on the Committee's projects prior to the October 22
meeting. Mr. Lane expressed concern for the paging system. He said there are serious problems with the
current system and hopes the Committee will act quickly on that item.
Report from the Fiscal Management Committee
Mr. Joseph, Chairman, reported the Committee met on September 13 and approved two requests
for filling positions. The Committee approved the filling of a Deputy Sheriff position. The Sheriff
already had two positions that had been approved to be filled. By approving the third one the Sheriff was
able to accomplish an affirmative action goal. The Committee also approved a Registered Professional
Nurse position at the Department of Social Services that is necessary to fill a mandated function. Mr.
Joseph said in both cases the department head was asked if approval of these requests would set up a
layoff situation due to the 2003 budget and the Committee was convinced this was very unlikely to
happen.
Report from the Public Safety Building Planning Committee
Mr. Joseph, Chairman, reported the Committee met and interviewed three architectural firms and
are currently seeking references.
Report from the Space and Location Committee
Mr. Joseph, Chairman, had no report.
Approval of Minutes of September 3, 2002
It was MOVED by Ms. Herrera, seconded by Mr. Totman, and unanimously adopted by voice

Mr. Joseph called the public hearing to order at 5:31 p.m. concerning proposed Local Law No. 9
of 2002 — Establishing a Surcharge for Wireless Communications, and asked if anyone wished to speak.
No one present wished to speak. Mr. Joseph said he received a telephone call regarding the proposed
Local Law from Duane Scott of Slaterville who stated that if there was to be a $.30 surcharge on cell
phones that the Board should also be promoting the siting of cell towers to provide better reception. The
public hearing was closed at 5:31 p.m.

> Cornell Cooperative Extension Week and 4-H Week in Tompkins County- October 6-12,
2002
> Domestic Violence Awareness Month — October 2002
> Mental Illness Awareness Week in Tompkins County - October 6-12, 2002
Announcement of Tompkins County Poet Laureate
Chair Joseph said while we seem riveted on issues of how to counteract increasing Medicaid bills
and how to pay for services without raising taxes at a rate too painful for the community to accept, it is
good to take a step back and acknowledge the remarkable community we live in — a community where it's
possible to bump grocery carts with Nobel Prize winners or world-renowned musicians, a community that
has its own currency, and now — a community that has its own Poet Laureate. Mr. Joseph read a quote
from the poet John Ciardi: "The success of a poem is determined not by how much the poet felt in
writing it, but by how much the reader feels in reading it," or in listening to it. He said that's what poetry
can do for us, it can make us feel different, it can make us think in a new way. Mr. Joseph introduced the
first Poet Laureate of Tompkins County, Katharyn Howd Machan.
Mr. Joseph thanked former Board Member, Stuart Stein, for the insight and work done over the
past year in researching and bringing to fruition this appointment of Tompkins County's first Poet
Laureate.
Ms. Machan spoke of Plato's desire to banish poetry from the lives of individuals within his
republic, because poets were crazy and dangerous. She said it was wonderful to instead see a very
established body of the public embracing poetry. She explained her role as Poet Laureate will encompass
readings of poetry throughout the County, including a laureate series of writing workshops on various
themes co -led by another poet within the County. She shared the poem written for the occasion entitled
"The Artist and the World," and thanked everyone for the honor.
Privilege of the Floor by the Public
Fay Gougakis, City of Ithaca, spoke of Cornell University and Ithaca College's responsibility to
share expenses within the County, particularly due to the additional expenses resulting from student
322
October 1, 2002
parties within the communities. She expressed that communities need to come together and share
responsibility, and that the administration of the educational facilities need to become more aware of their
need to participate in resolving problems related to the student population. She asked that the Board send
a message to the educational facilities requesting financial support for public safety matters.
Marcia Fort, City of Ithaca, spoke in support of the restoration of the Tompkins County Human
Rights Commission budget to the 2002 level. She spoke of the good work the office has done and
referenced the booklet, Universal Declaration of Human Rights, that was developed for student and
community educational purposes by the agency. She said the need for the office is great and that funding
is necessary to support such cases as the July 8 hate crime that occurred.
Leonardo Vargas -Mendez, Latino Civic Association of Tompkins County, spoke in support of the
Tompkins County Human Rights Commission and requested continued support. He said the office has
played an important role maintaining democratic rights and processes in the County. He expressed the
importance to individuals not speaking English to know what their rights are.
Joyce Muchan, Human Rights Commission, spoke of her background and how she is shocked that
a cut was made without a full review of information about cases and individuals served; people are voting
against human rights. She said she understands there is a difficult process to determine budget reductions
but feels it is imperative that the work being done needs to be looked at. She said that the budget cut
would require the office to close if the funding is not reinstated.
Robert Skates, Human Rights Commission Chair, spoke of his belief that the decision to cut
funding was based upon misleading information that alternative revenue sources could be found. He said
the office cannot solicit funding and that funding from the Federal government is only in the event their
office is requested to handle a case. He stated without staffing, they cannot handle cases and therefore,
would not be eligible to seek to have the $250 to $500 per case provided. In order to reach the level of
funding that has been cut it would require approximately 20,000 cases of human rights violations. Next,
he expressed his concern of the present homeland security issues. He feels that this could have the
potential to infringe upon the human rights of individuals and that without the office many people will
have rights violated. He feels that if the County does not support the Human Rights Commission it is
allowing the support of homeland security at the expense of individual human rights.
Audrey Cooper, Multicultural Resource Center Director, asked the Board to restore the Human
Rights Commission budget to the 2002 level. She spoke of individuals who have issues of racism,
sexism, employment problems, and that she refers numerous individuals to the Human Rights
. Commission. She said they are treated with a respect that they cannot find elsewhere. She asked for the
common good of all to restore the budget and not allow it to be cut.
Ray Schlather, City of Ithaca, spoke of the budget cut and the difficulty to choose between
programs and taxes. He encouraged the Board to look at programs for their merits rather than strictly
financial considerations. He expressed his opinion that the present situation is due to a variety of factors
beyond local control: Medicaid gap being caused by local economy and politics; the pension contribution
is a result of the declining stock market. He suggested the Board consider measures such as Broome
County and increase the sales tax by one percent to help offset expenses. He said although it is still an
increase it is less than it would be as a real property tax and the burden would be shared more equitably.
Martha Ferger, Dryden, spoke in support of a proposed resolution regarding the threat of war with
Iraq. She expressed concern regarding potential loss of lives for both America and Iraq. She feels the
cost of war will filter down to the County level and the budget demands will increase. She also feels the
Senators and Representatives are not going to take a firm stance and the County could voice concern due
to the future financial health that the war is not desired.
323
October 1, 2002
William Gibson, Town of Ithaca, spoke of his support for a resolution against war in Iraq. He
does not feel there is a moral, rational, or legal justification for going ahead with a pre-emptive attack on
Iraq. He said war is evil and can only be justified when it is the lesser of two evils. He noted Saddam's
actual and potential power is at most a small fraction of what the United States can or will do. He feels
Saddam has knowledge that if he were to use weapons against others the consequences would be
overwhelming; however, if we were to carry out a pre-emptive strike the likelihood of his using weapons
he may have would be great. He feels we need to listen to the opinion of the rest of the world, and in
particular, the Muslim individuals. A preemptive strike would violate and contradict international
agreements and law. Might does not make right. He also agrees a war would consume finances and
resources better used for justice, peace, and care.
Linda Holzbaur, Ithaca, spoke in favor of a resolution against a war in Iraq and asked the Board
to take a heroic stance and speak out against it. She said the government spends over four hundred billion
dollars a year on the military and that a war in Iraq will initially cost an additional fifty billion. She stated
war is paid for by the poor, by loss of services, destruction of an infrastructure, and with lives.
Will Burbank, Town of Ithaca, spoke of a profound concern that we are on the verge of a
calamity from which there is no return. He feels the Board is uniquely positioned to do something about
it. He said the present budget situation is in part due to situations outside of the control of the Board;
however, there now exists a situation where the Federal government is proposing to do something that
will dramatically affect our national economy and put a strain on many services. He urged the Board to
act tonight to send a message and act upon the proposed resolution against Iraq.
David Galezo, City of Ithaca, said he is the Chairman of the Green Party, and spoke to the Board
regarding the proposed resolution against war in Iraq. He feels if the matter is urgent enough, has strong
backing, or is useful to do so, and could remedy a blockage in the democracy of the system, the County
level is appropriate to weigh in on a Federal issue. He feels it has tremendous backing in Tompkins
County and would spark citizenship and create debate. He said he believes that the Board needs to review
the four criteria and if they find them to be true pass the resolution.
Cris McConkey, Trumansburg, said he speaks for himself, his family, and some of his neighbors
in support of a county resolution opposing war on Iraq. He recommended that the representatives read the
article in the current issue of Harpers magazine on the history of the Cheney plan, i.e., absolute United
States domination of world affairs. He believes that a true multi -lateral approach is absolutely necessary.
He finds the given course that the administration is taking us to be extremely dangerous for peace,
stability, and global justice.
Andrea White, Ithaca, said she was glad that students were in attendance at the meeting to witness
government in action. She said there is a draft bill presently in Congress that if passed, will require young
adults to enlist in the military. She expressed the fact that she is upset by this potential and asked the
resolution be passed against the war in Iraq so that the Federal government knows individuals in
Tompkins County are against it.
Thomas Buck, Human Rights Commission, spoke of basic human rights and how they affect
everyone. He said that ageism, racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. affect many friends, family, co-workers,
children. He particularly asked that the Board understand that dealing with problems of discrimination of
the elderly is also dealt with at the Human Rights Commission.
Herb Crispell, Town of Slaterville, said he feels too many special-interest groups are honored in
the County. He feels the Department of Social Services, Library, and Old Jail buildings are ways money
has been wasted. He has run his agriculture business for fifty years and has the potential of losing it due
to cuts in prices, causing his income to drop from $17.50/hundred around June 2001 to $10.50/hundred
this June. He feels rather than a twenty percent increase the County should have a ten percent decrease
and eliminate positions, medical benefits, etc. He asked that the Board do whatever is necessary to
324
October 1, 2002
eliminate increases. He also said if agriculture fails, the failure will eventually filter to other areas of the
economy as well.
Antoinette Chensey, spoke in support of the resolution opposing war in Iraq. She said one thing
that occurred following September 11 was that many individuals started speaking to each other and
barriers were crossed. She feels if the resolution were passed that it would again create an atmosphere
that would open the lines of communication.
Privilege of the Floor by Board Members
Ms. Blanchard, District No. 2 Representative, reminded individuals of the United Way campaign
and asked that people attempt to dig deeper with contributions this year. She reported Bob Nicholas,
Airport Manager, will be preparing a report that will highlight various methods used to encourage
improved air service. This will respond to a letter to the editor in The Ithaca Journal that suggested a lack
of effort. This report will also be submitted to the newspaper for their information.
Ms. Robertson, District No. 13 Representative, thanked individuals for attending the meeting and
said it was quite moving to listen to all. She noted it is a difficult job to serve constituents and that she
appreciates the input provided.
Ms. Robertson said she will request a resolution be added to the agenda concerning the possibility
of a unilateral strike on Iraq. She wanted to discuss this matter at this time in the event enough votes were
not obtained to add the resolution to this meeting's agenda. She said if it did not succeed at this meeting
she will bring it forth again at the next meeting. She expressed concern if the resolution were not added
that Congress may make a determination on this issue prior to the next Board meeting. She feels it is time
to make our voice heard, and said she disagrees with the statement that Federal representatives are not
listening. She has spoken to Senator Clinton's office who indicated that she would like the President to
make a better case before she makes a determination, and Senator Schumer's office noted much the same
response. She provided telephone numbers for Senators Clinton and Schumer and said she has other
numbers available if individuals would like to contact her. She also provided website addresses for the
Senate and White House for those who would like to contact them directly.
Ms. Robertson felt the issue is worthy of discussion and voting on. She said eleven and one-half
percent of the 2002 County budget, almost twelve million dollars, was spent on public safety. She feels
the issue of war is a public safety issue and expressed a concern for safety of individuals who would be
involved in a military conflict. She said paying for services is a responsibility of the Board and that if a
war were unilaterally pursued the cost of it, and the subsequent rehabilitation and occupation of Iraq,
would be exorbitant. She said Federal and State dollars are sent to the County to reimburse the cost of
many of our programs and a war would further reduce the revenue received.
She thanked everyone who spoke and her colleagues for considering the resolution and again
expressed concern that a delay would prevent the County's opinion from being heard before the Senate
and Congress vote on this issue.
Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Representative, reminded members of a workshop being sponsored by
the Water Resources Council concerning storm water and the impact of construction on water and land.
This meeting will take place on October 15, 2002 at the Cayuga Heights Fire Department and
recommended members be present at 9:00 a.m. for an interesting part of the presentation.
Mr. Booth, District No. 3 Representative, said Mr. Schlather's remarks highlighted a very
important point, that is, the essential difference between real estate and sales taxes. He said real estate
taxes are highly regressive and fall most heavily on those not able to absorb the increase, and noted
renters absorb this cost through their rent. He feels if there is a way to have Albany expand the base for
the real estate tax, including some properties presently exempted, it would be a good move.
325
October 1, 2002
Mr. Penniman, District No. 15 Representative, provided information on the recent New York
State Association of Counties (NYSAC) conference he attended in Rochester. He said a great deal of
information was available for attendees. A resolution was passed requesting that Medicaid be capped at
the current level and said it was the consensus that this was a realistic compromise and perhaps the State
could incrementally take over this burden in the future. He also reported a resolution was passed calling
on State leaders to not shift the cost of Family Health Plus to county taxpayers, as well as a resolution
concerning the Early Intervention Program and rejecting the Governor's proposal in favor of the County
proposal. Mr. Penniman said the issue of raising income tax as a means of supporting counties did not
make it through the committee level. It was viewed by downstate counties where the income levels are
higher, that they would bear a bigger burden, and there was concern of making it a political issue during
this election period. Another option extensively discussed was the pursuit of additional Federal aid to
fund Medicaid and he will bring this discussion to the Budget and Capital Committee. He said there is a
bill passed by the Senate and now in the House supporting an increase in assistance to New York State for
Medicaid costs. Mr. Penniman feels he could support requesting the Federal government on the issue of
Medicaid as it has a direct bearing on the County. He reported the State fiscal situation continues to look
bleak and the estimated deficit for next year's State budget appears to be six to ten billion dollars based
on current levels of revenue and spending. He said a positive item discussed was that NYSAC is
considering regional meetings with State legislators to involve all parties.
Ms. Kiefer, District No. 10 Representative, reported the Ethics Advisory Board will meet on
Thursday, October 10, 2002 at 9:15 a.m. and will continue deliberations on complaints received. She
advised members of a hand-out provided on the Tompkins County Public Library solar electric power
system. The web site for accessing this information is www.powerlight.com. She reported in conjunction
with a national tour of solar buildings there will be a green building tour in Tompkins County October 5,
2002, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., starting at the Tompkins County Public library and will tour several
different homes. She said the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority in
connection with New York Energy Smart Program has a plan to award to fifty school districts within the
state this year $20,000 solar electric photovoltaic systems with a maximum cost to the school district of
$1,500. This will include weather instrumentation, recording equipment for output, and on-going
maintenance through June, 2006. The deadline for applying for this grant called School Power......
Naturally is October 11, 2002.
Ms. Kiefer spoke of the proposed resolution regarding Iraq, stating that she feels this is one
instance where it was appropriate for the County to speak out regarding a Federal decision. She
expressed concern over the direction the Executive branch and Congress is moving. She feels to have a
pre-emptive strike would be against our historic way of dealing with things, using diplomacy and seeking
collaboration. She said containment of Iraq has worked in the past and has prevented the kind of war a
pre-emptive strike would create. She said the possibility of the area being destabilized would be horrific
to imagine and that she had heard a broadcaster state that although Saddam is homicidal, he is not
suicidal; and she does not believe he will attack the United States. If attacked, she believes that Saddam
will retaliate with whatever he has and this would be a disaster. Ms. Kiefer does not believe there is a
legal right for the government to do this, and is not part of the United Nations Charter to which we
adhere, nor have we been requested to do so by them. She said she hopes the resolution is added and she
will support it; if it is not added she urges individuals to contact representatives in Washington.
Mr. Lane, District No. 14 Representative, spoke of his pleasure that Tompkins County allows
privilege of the floor to the public and fellow Board members. He then offered congratulations to The
Ithaca Journal reporter, Dan Higgins, on his upcoming wedding.
Ms. Herrera, District No. 5 Representative, announced the American Association of University
Women will be sponsoring a workshop on October 26, 2002 to assist women to take direction of their
future through education at Tompkins Cortland Community College. There will be scholarships available
as well as day care. Ms. Herrera said she would support the resolution opposing unilateral war for many
of the reasons already expressed by others.
326
October 1, 2002
Ms. McBean, District No. 2 Representative, said that she is looking at the possible pre-emptive
strike and its ramifications from a different angle. She said she thinks about how many individuals could
receive a college education, how many programs or positions could be saved, and how funds could be
shifted to provide the funds needed to maintain the Human Services Coalition as it is a much needed
service in our community. On a personal level she thinks of family and friends who potentially would be
directly involved in a military action. She thinks of the homeless, and people's rights and how the funds
could be used to fulfill the basic human sustainable needs of those in the County and the country. She
asked that on a more global level, human rights be thought of, saying we violate the rights of those
residing across the seas. She feels the hate crimes that have occurred in the community are not acceptable
and we need to equip people with opportunities, places, and avenues to discuss, deal, and resolve these
issues.
Ms. Schuler, District No. 4 Representative, reported she attended three celebrations this past
week. The first was the Alcoholism and Drug Council Annual Dinner and Gala, where awards were
presented to Jim Kendella of Oasis, for years of dedication; to Casey Stevens for his recognition of
efforts; and to staff members. The second was the new Advocacy Center, previously known as the Task
Force for Battered Women, twenty-fifth anniversary, and child sexual abuse project's twentieth
anniversary. The third was the Family Treatment Court graduation, attended by eight other colleagues.
She said that attending these functions and realizing the wonderful work done by the community to assist
families provided her with a sense of pride. She expressed her appreciation for the wonderful poem
presented tonight.
She then expressed her opinion that she feels that the proposed resolution regarding the war in
Iraq would effect our families, friends, and community and as such is within the Board's jurisdiction.
Mr. Proto, District No. 7, wanted to inform individuals that the City of Ithaca School District tax
bills were in mailboxes and included the $20/1,000 increase.
Report from a Municipal Official
No municipal official was in attendance.
Presentation — Alternatives to Incarceration Program
Kathy Leinthall provided copies of a report that had been previously presented to the Health and
Human Services and the Public Safety Committees. She said the Felony Drug Court Program was
initially started in April 2002 following the success of the City Drug Court. During the period of April,
2000 — February, 2002 there have been 44 clients. To date, there have been nine successful graduations
with no new convictions; an additional six individuals are scheduled to graduate October 16, 2002. Ms.
Leinthall said the court is set up to work with individuals who have substance abuse and addition
problems, including alcohol and alcohol-related offenses. All participants of the Felony Drug Court
program were facing a certain period of incarceration as a result of the offense. She introduced Judge
John Sherman who is the County Court Judge in charge of the Felony Drug Court Program.
Judge Sherman said he started this program as a result of reviewing the information of two young
men who had plead guilty to charges, facing two and a half years of State prison time. He felt that they
would be better served if the situation were treated as the City's Drug Court, to treat the cause rather than
simply hand out punishment. Since then approximately 44 individuals have gone through the program,
each with a potential sentence of one year or more in jail. He said that there have been failures,
approximately nine or ten individuals who did not succeed through the program and of these, half are in
state prison, with the other half incarcerated locally. He feels that the program has made him a better
judge. He spoke of the initial two participants in the program and that they would just now be in the
process of being released from jail. Instead, both graduated, turned their lives around and are making
327
October 1, 2002
something of themselves. He then offered to meet with any member of the Board further about the
program and its merits.
Ms. Leinthall reviewed statistics of the participants of this program, noting that there were many
positive results such as education, employment, community service, and maintenance of a parental role.
She next discussed Day Reporting, a program through the Probation Department that allows
individuals to remain outside the boundaries of incarceration. She said only the judge may determine to
place an individual in this program and that it is a very intensive program that provides structure and
special services to participants. Ms. Leinthall said that the proposed budget for 2003 has eliminated three
positions within this program.
Next, Ms. Dolan, Commissioner of Social Services, spoke of the Family Treatment Court
established in April 2001, as the first rural program approved by the State. A review of statistics
indicated approximately seventy-five percent of all child -abuse reports involved substance/alcohol abuse
as a contributing factor. In the period since Tompkins County was approved for this the level of
participation is high in comparison to other similar communities. She spoke of meeting the needs of
individuals in a positive manner, involving them with critical decisions regarding their families and
children's future. There is coordination of services, addressing the service needs of everyone within the
household. Monitoring of drug usage and sobriety are done several times during the week. She spoke of
the ability to seek out alternative housing for children with extended -family members, monitoring of
families where the children are able to remain within their household, the saving of funds by providing
these alternatives when compared to an adoption subsidy. Ms. Dolan said information is being reviewed
in order to provide statistical information of the program in order to determine which families the
program works well for and which it does not as well. Ms. Dolan then provided information on State
funding received and anticipated for the operation of this program in the amount of approximately
$400,000.
Kathy Schlather spoke to the Board about the written report submitted and noted that since the
program had not been existence for any length of time that it would not be appropriate to provide
outcomes. She provided information on the type of client served, level of service, and information
relevant at this time as well as information on programs in other areas of the country that would show
potential outcomes. The rate of recidivism is low and is closely correlated to the length of time in the
program. She indicated that the data collected will be refined over a period of time in order to provide
information to refine the program itself.
Mr. Proto asked that the definition of a non-violent crime be provided for the entire Board. He
noted surprise at what falls under this definition. Ms. Leinthall explained that a violent act may not be
considered a violent crime. Some charges that might fall into this category are sexual offenses, assaults,
or burglaries during the day. She said if it was violent that the individual charged may be required to
have a split sentence of a period of time incarcerated with subsequent probation.
Ms. Robertson inquired if the presenters felt the court programs are in any way responsible for
the decrease in numbers of people in our jail. Judge Sherman said to a degree he feels they are helping
since the participants would normally be incarcerated. He also said there is also a cost savings involved
due to lack of assigned counsel costs.
Ms. Leinthall said the Criminal Justice/Alternatives to Incarceration Board has worked to put
together pieces to develop the sanctions and that they are now all working together. She feels it is
difficult to tell which particular area is the key and believes it may be a combination of all the options
working together.

Presentation by the Human Rights Commission
Ms. Martel -Moore provided Board members with a written report with information on the
Mission Statement, areas of law covered, and the actual process. She indicated that contrary to what
some Board members might think, Tompkins County is not the only county with their own Human Rights
Commission office. She said there are eleven counties, nine cities, and one village, that have paid human
rights commission staff. She then explained how cases are handled, indicating that they are either walk-
ins or referrals to the office as they do not solicit clients. Each case is reviewed for its merit and every
attempt is made to resolve the case in a mediation setting when possible. She summarized the various
inquiries made over the last two years, highlighting areas she sees of concern in the County such as
racism, unfair treatment of the disabled, and those on worker's compensation.
Ms. Martel -Moore discussed how payments are received for the variety of cases handled. She
said that there often are cases that are totally put together by the local office with no payment received.
For other cases the office may receive a nominal fee or percentage of funds paid to another agency the
case was assigned to. A standard $50 per case fee is received for the initial intake work.
Chair's Report and Appointment(s)
Mr. Joseph reported that at the New York State Association of Counties (NYSAC) fall meeting
Mr. Gerald Benjamin, political science professor at State University of New York at New Paltz, was the
featured speaker. Mr. Joseph found Mr. Benjamin's speech very interesting, noting it assisted in
clarifying the situations faced by counties. Mr. Benjamin had said the counties are schizophrenic in
nature, simultaneously branches of the State government and an independent local government and much
of the confusion is due to the mixing of these two roles. As an entity required to carry out the wishes of
the State through mandates we serve one function, however we do not receive funding to do so and are
required to come up with a way to pay it. We also act as an independent local government with
responsibility to carry out the programs we choose to carry out and raise funds for. What is occurring this
year, as well as past, is that we are required to carry out the function of being a State branch and increase
the time, effort, and funding being spent and because of this must decrease the programs, and funding
areas, that we would like to do. Mr. Benjamin suggested that it be determined what is State responsibility
and what is local and, once determined, have each take care of their own areas.
Another area discussed at the conference was the reinstatement of sales tax. When a potential
increase in sales tax was suggested as a way to increase revenue and more evenly spread the burden out it
had been believed that the County could not increase this amount. However, at the present time there is an
interest in many counties to do this and several are presently moving ahead with the proposal. Broome
County has spoken to the Governor's office as well as their Senators and Representatives about this being
a viable way to relieve some of the burden from property owners. Mr. Joseph said discussions he has had
with other administrators indicate that there is an apparent level of support to this idea from many areas
including senior citizens who perceive this as much easier to control than a large bill. He said a one
percent increase would bring in approximately 5.3 million dollars annually and while unlikely to be able
to start on January 1, 2003, could bring in 2.6 million dollars if in place by June 1, 2003.
Mr. Lane said no matter what type of tax it is it would hit the low-income individuals the hardest.
He felt that the elimination of sales tax on clothing and shoes was popular and that it is those with limited
income that benefited greatly. Mr. Joseph said while sales tax would be a regressive tax that the
exclusion of food, medicines, clothing, and shoes make it less regressive.
Mr. Booth inquired about a time frame for a sales tax increase to take place. Mr. Joseph said it
should be approximately June 1, 2003.
Mr. Proto inquired whether contiguous counties were contemplating a reinstatement of the tax on
clothing and shoes. Mr. Joseph said that while an increase was being considered counties were hesitant to
329
October 1, 2002
openly speak out about their considerations. Mr. Proto then spoke of a previous proposal made by the
State to take over the Medicaid bill if provided one percent of the sales tax. At the time it was not in the
County's favor to do so.
Withdrawal of Appointment
Mr. Joseph received an inquiry of the ability of Mr. Nathan Carlisle to serve on the Workforce
Development Board as he is a not a resident of Tompkins County. Mr. Joseph asked the County
Attorney, Mr. Wood, to investigate the matter and subsequently withdrew the appointment pending the
outcome. Mr. Lane indicated this is a reappointment and is made to fill out the business representative
slot as outlined in the Federal guidelines.
Appointment(s)
Mr. Joseph made the following appointment(s)

Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Budget and Capital Committee
RESOLUTION NO. 232 - TOMPKINS CORTLAND COMMUNITY COLLEGE CAMPUS
MASTER PLAN — DESIGN OF ATHLETIC FACILITY
MOVED by Mr. Penniman, seconded by Ms. Robertson, and unanimously adopted by voice vote.
Mr. Penniman noted it does not commit the County to funding at the present time and will be revisited in
several years. At that time it should be approximately $300,000 per year debt service, with Tompkins
County's share of approximately $192,000 in 2006.
WHEREAS, Tompkins Cortland Community College completed a master plan study in
September 2001 that addressed space requirements and needs of the campus, and
WHEREAS, this study was formally approved by the Tompkins County Board of Representatives
on November 7, 2001 via Resolution No. 250, and
WHEREAS, the sequencing of the projects requires that the construction of an athletic facility
and the movement of functions from the current building into the athletic facility be complete before the
current building can be modified to accommodate expanding and changing academic programs, and
WHEREAS, the State University of New York recognizes the immediate need for the athletic
facility and has indicated a willingness to make funds available for the design of this facility in
anticipation of future funding for its construction, and
WHEREAS, the College and the sponsoring counties recognize that considerable time will be
saved toward attaining occupancy of said facility by designing the facility in advance of receiving funding
for construction, and
WHEREAS, the design cost, estimated to be $540,000, would be accommodated with $270,000
in State funds and $270,000 from the College's out -of -county capital chargeback account, now therefore
be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Capital Committee, That the Tompkins
County Board of Representatives authorizes the expenditure of $540,000 as stated above for the design of
the athletic facility, contingent upon approval by the Cortland County Legislature, with the understanding
that there will be no requirement for funding of the design phase on the part of Tompkins County or
Cortland County.

Report from Planning Commissioner
Mr. Marx, Planning Commissioner, notified Board members that the Planning Department has
begun the process of developing the County Comprehensive Plan. This plan will take approximately two
years to complete and will be seeking the input of municipalities and the general public. Letters have
been sent to municipalities requesting that they appoint a representative to sit on a municipal advisory
committee. Mr. Marx said that public input meetings are scheduled to take place as follows: October 22,
2002, at the Human Services Building, October 29, 2002, in Dryden, November 7, 2002, in Jacksonville,
and November 14, 2002, in Danby.
Mr. Marx then notified the Board of receipt of the Community Development Block Grant for
$600,000, which provides funding assistance for individuals through the Homeownership Program. This
is the sixth year that the County has been awarded the grant. To date 174 families have been helped, and
we have just expended the last of the fifth -round grant funds.
Withdrawal of Resolution(s) from the Agenda
Chair Joseph gave Ms. Kiefer, Chair of the Planning Committee, permission to withdraw the
following resolutions:
• Denying Authorization for Oil and Gas Exploration on County Property at Hillview
Landfill
• Denying Authorization for Oil and Gas Exploration on County Property at Caswell
Landfill
Addition of Resolution(s) to the Agenda
It was MOVED by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Ms. Kiefer, to add the resolution entitled Urging
Opposition to a Preemptive and Unilateral Strike on Iraq.
Mr. Penniman said he supports the statement but does not feel that the Board is the appropriate
body to make it. Recognizing it would require a two-thirds majority vote he would not block it. Ms.
Robertson thanked him and expressed her belief that the resolution should be presented for consideration
at this meeting as a decision by the United States Senate and Congress may occur prior to the next Board
meeting. She noted that other municipalities were preparing similar resolutions and felt that it would
encourage other groups to speak out. Mr. Totman indicated he is in opposition to the resolution being
added as he does not like to consider resolutions without having seen them prior to the meeting. He also
331
October 1, 2002
felt it was inappropriate for the County Board to participate in the foreign affairs process. Ms. Blanchard
said she was against adding the resolution and felt that it would be more appropriate for the Board to
work together as with other resolutions to develop a resolution that would indicate a consensus. A voice
vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 8 (Representatives Herrera, Koplinka-Loehr, McBean, Robertson,
Penniman, Kiefer, Schuler, and Joseph), Noes - 7 (Representatives Blanchard, Booth, Totman, Todd,
Lane, Proto, and Winch). MOTION FAILED.

Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Planning Committee
Ms. Kiefer, Chair, reported the Committee met September 19, 2002. Recommendations from the
Water Resource Council's (WRC) on two-cycle engines, jet skis, etc., have been delayed a month. We
discussed and accepted the WRC's effectiveness report; we discussed the Planning Department's
newsletter and the resolutions presented regarding the snowmobile trail grant. Ms. Kiefer noted that the
snowmobile trail grants do not have any funding built in for the Planning Department time spent in
preparing and managing the application. She reported that the State Environmental Quality Review forms
are being looked at for revision: the Environmental Management Council is reviewing the TYPE I list to
determine if there are any thresholds that may be appropriately adjusted, and the Planning Department is
reviewing the actual forms to see if they can be made more useful in the County. The Committee
accepted the two model leases that allow drilling, one for surface occupancy, and one without surface
occupancy, then acted upon requests for oil and gas leases on County property. The Committee voted to
deny exploration at the Caswell and Hillview landfill sites but to allow negotiations for the Newfield site.
The Planning Department will be sponsoring State Environmental Quality Review training on October 23
and 24, 2002. The Department of Environmental Conservation and the Department of State will be in
attendance to provide presentations. Ms. Blanchard inquired if the review of State Environmental Quality
Review forms will assist in specifying what appropriate State Environmental Quality Review actions be
taken when dealing with an Industrial Development Agency bonding issue. Ms. Kiefer said at this time
they had not discussed it but it would be discussed at a Special Planning Committee meeting the
following morning.

done. He commended the Planning Department for their work on this. Mr. Winch agreed and said some
communities do not have this type of program. He said if individuals are interested they should contact
their legislators. A voice vote on the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes — 15, Noes — 0.
RESOLUTION ADOPTED.

Mr. Proto said he wanted to note that at the last Planning meeting he had inquired about the
Agriculture District involved with regard to a resolution concerning real property at the airport. He noted
338
October 1, 2002
that Ms. Jayne of the Administration did review this and that the property is not in the Agriculture
District.
Report from the Economic and Workforce Development Committee
Mr. Lane, Chair, said the Committee will meet again on Thursday, October 10, 2002 at 2:00 p.m.
Mr. Proto inquired whether the Industrial Development Agency (IDA) reports to the Economic and
Workforce Development Committee. Mr. Lane said reports are received via Committee members and the
Tompkins County Area Development. Mr. Proto asked if due to budget constraints is there a way to set
aside sales tax exemptions for a period of time. Mr. Lane suggested Mr. Proto attend the next meeting of
the Industrial Development Agency on Friday, October 4, at 2:00 p.m. and address the question there.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the BudSet and Capital Committee
Mr. Penniman, Chair, said the Committee met the previous week and the main item was
discussion of the Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit budget. He said many members of the Board
attended the Public Forum regarding the budget. Good ideas and questions came out of the meeting. The
next public meeting on the budget is October 30, 2002 at 7:00 p.m. and will be an open mike session. Mr.
Penniman said packets are available outlining the agenda for the Expanded Budget Committee meeting to
be held on October 4, 2002. The package has a summary of all the Program Committee actions as well as
recommended changes in funds.
Mrs. Smithers, Deputy County Administrator, informed members that additions for the budget
book and capital project book were in their mailboxes.
Mr. Booth noted that over -target requests for Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit (TCAT) do
not relate to the eighty percent budget scenario in the way other over -target requests are. They are
increases to last year's budget. Mrs. Smithers said Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit was excluded
from the requested budget scenario in the same manner that Tompkins Cortland Community College was.

SURCHARGE FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS
MOVED by Mrs. Schuler, seconded by Mr. Penniman. Ms. Robertson inquired if the wireless

Report from the Health and Human Services Committee
Mr. Winch said he did not have a report.
Report from the Information Technolouv Services Committee
Mr. Winch, Chair, reported the Committee met September 25, 2002 and discussed the
Department's budget. One item reviewed is the fact that Information Technology Services takes in
$15,500 from departments for services provided; consideration was given to change this to an
appropriation from the Board in their budget. It appears as though departmental budgets estimated costs
are higher than actual usage and this modification would reflect a more accurate figure. He also reported
on the New York State Bioterrorism Preparedness Planning Project in cooperation with Fire and Rescue,
Sheriff's Department, and Health Department. There is a need to have a redundant connection to the Fire
and Rescue building as a backup. Mr. Winch said there is an opening in the system analyist area that will
340
October 1, 2002
remain vacant until the budget process is completed. He indicated a need to see that this position is filled
in order to maintain the level of service. With regard to the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act (HIPAA) that ensures confidentiality of clients, a local firm has been hired to prepare
a gap analysis for the privacy functions. Brenda Grinnell -Crosby will be project manager. The County
Web Resource team is working on changes to the web pages that will be database -driven to assist in
information searches.
Report from the Public Works Committee
Ms. Blanchard, Chair, reported the pile of dirt located at the airport on Warren Road is soil that
was contaminated by fuel and we are in the process of seeking bids for removal. The Committee also
discussed a proposal to complete an energy analysis of County -owned facilities. The cost of this is
$36,770 with the County and State equally sharing the cost. A portion of this may be reimbursed
following recommended improvement. Also, the Facilities Manager has been directed to follow-up with
Cost Control Associates, who is sponsored by the Electric and Gas Alliance, to perform an audit of past
energy billing to determine any errors that would allow the County to recoup funds if an error had
occurred. The Committee also reviewed the Facilities capital project and the Airport capital project status
reports. Ms. Blanchard said the next meeting will be held on Thursday, October 3, 2002.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Communications Capital Projects Committee
Ms. Blanchard indicated they have not met. She said a report on the status of the various
Communications and Capital Project Committee's projects will be circulated to the full board. Ms.
Blanchard informed the Board that at the recent meeting in Albany with the Office of Technology
Statewide Network staff a Powerpoint presentation was made by the County to point out how a joint
participation would work with regard to the 911 Building Project, the Public Safety Communications
System Upgrade, and the Paging Project. If a partnership were to materialize it would mean a sharing of
equipment and costs. The result of the meeting was the Statewide Network indicated that for those parts
of our infrastructure and system which are useable in their state system they would be willing to pay. It
was also determined that the Statewide network would be a 800 -MHz trunk system and we would need to
be compatible to it. There is a special committee at the State dealing with the project and is chaired by
Senator Seward. At this time we need to frame the principles of a Memorandum of Understanding
between us and the State. At the present time the County does not have expectations regarding State
participation in the 911 building due to uncertainties. When the State Request for Proposals are received
in January it is hoped that Motorola has a viable proposal. The next meeting will be held on October 22,
2002, at 11:30 a.m.
Ms. Robertson expressed the desire for more information of the processes occurring on this
project in order to adequately answer questions from constituents. She feels that it is being staff driven
and a committee discussion would be the appropriate method rather than memo form. Mr. Whicher
replied that at the present time the Committee is completely informed on the project and that the staff is
relying on technical advisors. He said that at the point it involves policy and value issues the Board
would become involved. Ms. Blanchard said at the present time it is discussion of highly technical
information with various levels and indicated that when the Memorandum of Understanding is prepared
that would be the time to bring it to Committee for discussion. Mr. Whicher said the process will involve
a letter of intent followed by many conversations between the County and State and reports will be made
to the Committee. Mr. Penniman inquired if there is a concern for completing the Memorandum of
Understanding before the election. Mr. Whicher said while he is working to complete the letter of intent
prior to that time it is doubtful that the Memorandum of Understandings will be complete. He also noted
that Statewide Network invited Tompkins County to evaluate their system. Ms. Blanchard said there is
presently discussion of a governance board for the State-wide network operations; once constructed there
will be opportunity for participation in it.

ALL DOCUMENTS NECESSARY FOR THE EXCHANGE OF
PARCELS WITH CORNELL UNIVERSITY FOR COUNTY
COMMUNICATIONS CENTER
MOVED by Ms. Blanchard, seconded by Mr. Proto. Ms. Kiefer questioned whether the County
Land Policy was completely followed in the process. Mr. Wood, County Attorney, said it was followed
and that the registry was checked, a check for hazardous waste was completed, and the County
Administrator walked the site for wetland flow. Ms. Kiefer asked if a land management or State
Environmental Quality Review staff member walked the site and was informed that there had been. A
voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes —15, Noes - 0. RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the County Board of Representatives, by previous resolution dated October 1, 2002,

Privilege of the Floor by the Public
Calvin Criss, Ithaca, spoke in opposition to the resolution regarding Iraq, saying Washington had
already made a determination and if a military action were necessary it should have the backing of the
American people. He feels Iraq would open themselves for inspection more rapidly if this were so. Mr.
Criss said he hoped individuals would support backing the President and the armed forces.
Martin Hatch, Ithaca, spoke in support to the resolution against a unilateral strike in Iraq. He said
local government is the foundation of democracy and that funds would be better spent in areas other than
the military. He understands unfounded mandates are necessary and that the State does not receive
funding from the Federal level and therefore passes the responsibility to the local level. He feels the
Federal government is spending funds without justification and it is not rational, analytical, and he
doesn't support them in this possible military action. He has expressed his concern to State and Federal
representatives as well as the President.
James Bradley, Ithaca, spoke about potential cuts in the human services budget, specifically the
Woman's Opportunity Center. He said this agency assists mainly single, head -of -household females and
helps them remove themselves from poverty by obtaining employment through training. He said if the
County does not pay now it would pay later in other areas and possibly pay for future generations. He
indicated studies show that children of individuals not raised at a poverty level are more likely not to be
impoverished themselves.
Herbert Finch, President of DeWitt Historical Society, asked the Board to restore the over -target
request for the Society. He said County funds are used for rent and utilities. Other sources of funding
received through grants, membership dues, contributions, and sales from the gift store are used to operate
the programs. The Society is particularly hard-hit this year due to the renovation and construction of the
building housing the museum, which has decreased traffic and gift shop sales. He asked the Board to
support the recommendation of the County Administrator in providing the funding of the $5,430 over -
target request.
Linda Johanson, Chair of the Board of the Woman's Opportunity Center, requested funding not
be reduced in the Human Services area. She reported last year the Center found employment for 144
women who had not previously been in the workforce; providing computer training, interviewing skills
training, etc. She said they also provided referral to other agencies to avoid duplication of services. She
344
October 15, 2002
said it is a very tight infrastructure for helping those most in need, and losing individuals familiar to these
operations from the various agencies due to budget constraints will reduce the effectiveness. She urges
individuals to look at the proposed increase in terms of it being $10/month and worthwhile to maintain
the wonderful services the County has.
Carrie Koplinka-Loehr, Community Dispute Resolution Center Volunteer, Victim Offender
Counseling/Alternatives to Incarceration, said she has been a volunteer at the Center since mid-1990 and
has been trained in multi-party/two-party environmental mediation and victim offender conferencing.
She thanked the Board for their support, recognizing that budgetary cuts made to date are not as severe as
they might have been. She asked that when reviewing the other Alternatives to Incarceration programs
consideration be given for the work done. She spoke of her victim offender conferencing and the impact
the direct contact has on both parties. She shared an experience with one particular offender who said
that having to face the victim had more impact than anything the judge would do; and saw a growth
process as the offender prepared for the mediation. She feels that there is a great deal more that
Alternatives to Incarceration programs are capable of and she recognizes the difficult task facing the
Board in the budget process. She would be willing to pay more and feels a sliding -scale fee could
perhaps be implemented to offset the cost of some of the programs.
Sabine Lessmeisluc, Ithaca, spoke as a victim participant in the Victim Offender Counseling
program and shared with the Board the frightening experience she endured. She said she was afraid all
the time until notified that the offender was apprehended and mediation took place. During the mediation
process she was able to understand that the individual had been inebriated, under the influence of drugs
and not fully cognizant of his activities. Each party aired feelings and the decision made jointly was that
the offender was to provide thirty hours of community service. She now feels comfortable in her own
home again and said this program is very valuable in the healing process.
Ken Miller, Richford resident and Tompkins County landowner, spoke of his inability to absorb
the proposed tax increase. He said he is a farmer and only receives 1979 prices for his commodities and
that it does not provide enough income to keep up with the cost of inflation and increases in property
taxes. He said that he feels Youth Bureau programs should have an accompanying fee for participation
and that fees should be implemented in other areas. He asked the Board to only increase taxes between
two to four percent.
Audrey Cooper, Multicultural Research Center, said when initially requested to cut twenty
percent of the funding received they made a diligent effort and chose to move into the Cooperative
Extension Building in an effort to reduce expenses. She said the funding is important and that if forced to
close there still would be racism in the area, and still have a need to supply ethnic and cultural
information to schools and other groups. She said the Center networks with many other agencies and
with proposed cuts in many of them it would be a difficult task to maintain the level of service provided
and asked that these facts be taken into account when making a decision.
Peg Hopper, Executive Director of the Tompkins County Senior Citizens Council, spoke against
cuts in the Human Services Coalition's agency budget. She said they review requests for specific human
services agencies. She said when asked to reduce the County -funded budgets by twenty percent they
have complied, yet now are being asked to increase the reduction to at least thirty percent of funds
previously received. She said the agencies are the ones providing basic subsistence programs and have
already cut programs as far as possible to still provide these basic services. The Senior Citizens Council
receives $5,800 annually from the Internal Revenue Service to provide a tax assistance program to elderly
and low-income residents of Tompkins County. Of this amount $4,100 of it is returned to the tax
counselors in the form of a stipend as part of the contract. $1,700 is what is left to operate the program.
The staff costs exceed $2,800, 26 Retired and Senior Volunteer Program individuals assist in the
preparation and filing of the Federal and State income tax form for 813 taxpayers at 65 clinics. Over
1,000 forms were filed, telephone assistance provided to more than 600 individuals, and home visits to 24
clients homebound. The Council supports the Health Department in serving 2,300 seniors at flu clinics
345
October 15, 2002
countywide. Health insurance counseling and preventive health programs are also operated. These are in
jeopardy if funding is no longer available. As a taxpayer she has worked previously in a contiguous
county,however she by choice resides in Tompkins County due to the quality of life and is willing to pay
for the quality of life.
George Eberhardt, Groton, urged Board members to pass the resolution that would freeze Board
member salaries in 2003. He feels it is a small amount to be put back for other use, but it will help. He
also is upset about the ten percent cut to the rural libraries. He said that rural residents are the first
effected by cuts and that the proposed cut may cause them to shut down. He hopes the funding for the
rural transportation routes recently put into place will not be taken away during the budget reduction
process as it has taken five years to finally have this service provided to the outlying areas of the County.
Dammi Herath, Executive Director of the Women's Opportunity Center, thanked the County for
the previous support and handed out letters of thanks from some of the women the Center has helped.
She said the Center receives over $700,000 in funding from the State and Federal government to operate
the center. She told Board members the funds received from the County are multi-purpose when she is
seeking funding; it shows the endorsement of the County that the Center is worthwhile, and it also
provides the matching funds required to receive some of the State and Federal grants. She said to date
they have found jobs for 135 women this year. She said the dollars are stretched to the maximum through
the use of volunteers and those served are fmding employment and becoming taxpayers. In addition, she
said clients are also receiving training by loaning the computer to the American Red Cross who are
training the women and helping the children of these women to reach their potential. She said she would
not mind going without herself to pay for the increase. She said this county is one of the best counties to
reside in due to the thinking power and the programs designed and hopes that it will continue.
Lynne Jackier, Drop -In Children's Center, provided a written sheet about the Drop -In Center and
the work it does. She said she feels the support networks of programs to assist low-income individuals
and the needs of a property owner who cannot afford an increase in taxes are equally important. She feels
there needs to be other exemptions to assist individuals such as the STAR program. She is amazed that
Human Services Coalition funding might possibly be cut and said the amount is minimal, perhaps $.20
per month. She talked of the volunteers and grants utilized to assist in the reduction of local share to
operate these many needed programs.
Kiersten Stanley, Center for Crime Victims and Sexual Assault Services of Tompkins County,
formerly Ithaca Rape Crisis, said the Center will be adversely affected if the budget is reduced further and
asked for consideration when making the difficult decisions concerning the budget.
Peter Bottorff, Ithaca, said he has spoken to numerous individuals and appreciates the difficulties
when making budget decisions. He does not feel a twenty percent increase is acceptable and that most
homeowners are not going to be able to accept the increase. He said if the increase carries out over years
it becomes a great deal of money. With regard to pesticide application notification, he said his lawn
service would not be able to apply pesticides in the event the law is passed. He appreciates the difficulty,
however feels enforcement would be cost prohibitive and in some ways restricting property owners'
rights. He believes many who may speak to members regarding this possible legislation are not property
owners. He said by raising taxes and passing this legislation taxpayers will be extremely upset. He said
if taxes continue to increase it might change the outcome of future elections.
Fay Gougakis, City of Ithaca, spoke in support of the pesticide application notification law. She
is disturbed by the application of pesticides and the possible side effects caused by it. She feels pesticides
are serious compounds, people are allergic and can become ill through their use. She feels more
discussion needs to take place to lessen the burden of notification for individuals. She believes natural
erosion and water -flow could cause a pesticide to come into others property and it is good to know this
fact. She then asked for a way to be found to have Cornell University and Ithaca College contribute
toward the cost of the community. She said the City of Ithaca's exemption is approximately two billion
346
October 15, 2002
dollars for these educational facilities and there needs to be a way to have them contribute for services or
reduce the exemption.
Yvonne Bartlett, former Biggs A employee and resident of Cortland, spoke to the Board about the
possibility of obtaining information related to a worker's compensation claim and an upcoming appeal.
She said she is specifically looking for information with regard to the carbonless copy paper that was
used. She said the company involved in her claim has made several out-of-court settlements and any
information on this product would be appreciated. She also requested to review her personnel file.
Privilege of the Floor by Board Members
Ms. Herrera, District No. 5 Representative, reminded individuals of the Ithaca Breast Cancer
Walkathon being held at noon on Saturday, October 26, 2002, with registration taking place on the
Commons. She noted that the funds are retained locally.
Ms. Blanchard, District No. 1 Representative, reminded individuals of the ongoing United Way
campaign and urged people to make and increase the contribution and return the cards as soon as possible
to the United Way.
Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Representative, reported that was a meeting this morning on the
Stormwater Phase Two regulations, which will be costly to certain municipalities. He noted the meeting
was well attended by highway personnel and that the Department of Environmental Conservation made
an excellent presentation and that both Craig Schutt and Kate Hackett should be commended for their
work on the project as well. Secondly, he notified members of the Farm Bureau dinner that is October 23,
2002, and feels that members would be provided the opportunity to speak with members of the
agricultural areas of the County.
Report from a Municipal Official
Mr. Fred Notebloom, Town of Ithaca Highway Superintendent, spoke on behalf of the Tompkins
County Highway Superintendents Association. He said the Association meets regularly and discusses
various aspects of their positions and one item discussed recently was the County budget and the concerns
related to it. He said the County transportation system is interconnected with the State and towns.
Transportation is connected in many ways to a variety of initiatives started by the County over the years.
He feels it is important to keep the transportation system intact and said it affects Tompkins Consolidated
Area Transit, Vital Communities, and many other initiatives. He said maintaining the existing roadways
will take funding and requested the Board to carefully review this matter.
Chair's Appointment(s)
Mr. Joseph made the following appointment(s):

Report from the County Attorney
Mr. Wood reported on a motor vehicle accident involving a Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit
bus and another vehicle. He indicated a passenger on the bus had brought forth a claim against both the
County and the driver of the other vehicle. This case was settled this past week without any payment to
the claimant by Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit.
Mr. Proto asked Mr. Wood whether Ms. Bartlett, who spoke earlier, was permitted to have the
information she had requested. Mr. Wood said he had made attempts to contact her without success. He
said that he will be contacting her to discuss what particular material she is desiring and will work with
her if at all possible.
Report from the Finance Director
Mr. Squires reported the gross figures for third quarter sales tax have been received. He said he
had anticipated reductions in this figure, however, the third quarter is approximately nine percent above
last year. It is expected that the sales tax revenue should be between $1.4million to $2.0 million dollars
over the budget estimated by year-end. He does not know what portion represents the County share and
feels that given these figures it may be possible to help with the budget.

RESOLUTION NO. 249 — APPROPRIATION FROM CONTINGENT FUND AND
AUTHORIZATION TO EXECUTE CONTRACT — HEALTH
INSURANCE PORTABILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY ACT
(HIPAA) GAP ANALYSIS
MOVED by Mr. Winch, seconded by Ms. Kiefer. Mr. Lane said that this is another unfounded
mandate with regulations from the Federal government regarding privacy issues needing to be developed
and requiring the need of a consultant to assist in the design process. He feels the mandates are harmful
to the local governments real property tax rates. Ms. Robertson inquired whether the $20,000 is to
determine what needs to be done and not the actual implementation. Mr. Lane said she was correct and
that there will be additional funds needed to complete the requirements of the mandate. A short roll call
vote on the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes - 14, Noes — 0, Excused — 1 (Representative Schuler).

RESOLUTION NO. 250 - AUTHORIZATION FOR EARLY RETIREMENT — SOCIAL
SERVICES COMMISSIONER
MOVED by Mr. Winch, seconded by Ms. Robertson. Mr. Winch said the Board wishes Ms.
Dolan well in her retirement. He reported she will be working for the next year to assist in the transition.
Ms. Robertson inquired what the extent of assistance provided in 2003 during the transitional period will
be. Ms. Dolan said it will be between sixty percent to whatever is needed to complete the task. She said
the Department has four very capable Deputies and their needs will be considered during this transition
process as well. Mr. Winch said he spoke to Ms. Dolan following the news of her upcoming retirement
and she spoke of her work, saying she enjoyed her time and that it wasn't like work. Ms. Dolan said she
enjoys the people she works with and for. Chair Joseph said that he has his own regrets that she will be
leaving the County. When he first came on the Board Ms. Dolan and he had differing opinions on
matters, but he has since come to respect and admire her. He said that she has been with the County a
long time and has brought a level of professionalism, competence, compassion, and overall top-quality
performance that has been a credit to the County, and she will be missed. A voice vote resulted as

RESOLUTION NO. 252 - CREATION OF A POSITION - DENTAL CASE MANAGER (SENIOR
SOCIAL WELFARE EXAMINER) — DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL
SERVICES
MOVED by Mr. Booth, seconded by Ms. Kiefer. Mr. Booth said this position would work
between the Department of Social Services and local dentists in a program providing dental service for
Medicaid and certain low-income individuals. Mr. Winch said he had voted against the resolution at the
Committee level and will not be supporting it at this time. Mr. Proto said he joins Mr. Winch in opposing
the resolution as he feels it is ill-timed. He recognizes the importance of dental needs but feels that within
a year or year and a half this will escalate and become a costly program. In addition, Mr. Proto said since
the dental hygienist position could not be supported that this position should not be either. Mr. Lane
asked if this resolution reflects the problem of finding a way for local dentists to provide dental services
to the Medicaid clients in the County. He said he had recalled a discussion on a possible clinic and
understands this to be a way to encourage dental care. Mr. Booth said that he believes it is an experiment
that will provide feedback on whether this would be a feasible manner to provide the care needed. Ms.
Robertson asked Ms. Dolan to explain the history of the resolution to the Board.
Ms. Dolan explained that a Dental Services Advisory Committee was convened consisting of
personnel from Department of Social Services, Office for the Aging, and staff support, as well as local
dentists, private citizens, representatives as advocates for sub -groups within the Medicaid and senior
citizen population, two schools, a representative from the Ithaca Health Fund, and Cayuga Medical
Center. The charge of this committee was to recommend a solution to the problem of access to dental
care for Medicaid individuals and certain low-income individuals and seniors. The committee looked for
a program that would be effective and would be able to perform this service in a reasonable amount of
time. After extensive research and discussions it was determined that the best model would be the one
suggested. She noted that a previous resolution passed provides for the development of an actual clinic
rate that would be needed if this model were to fail and a clinic set up in its place. Ms. Blanchard
351
October 15, 2002
inquired what made the committee feel the local dentists would support this model. Ms. Dolan indicated
that there has been contact with the local dentists by their representatives and feels that a sufficient
number have agreed to make it a feasible program. Mr. Proto said he recalled that a grant had been
applied for and inquired if this program required that funding in order to proceed. Ms. Dolan said that the
grant award if received would be additional funds available to the program. Mr. Totman felt a new
position or program should not be created at this time. Ms. Robertson noted the Department of Social
Services has extensively reduced its workforce which would assist with costs. Mr. Booth said it is an
experiment worth trying. Mr. Penniman said that there are approximately thirty positions reduced within
Human Services area. Ms. Kiefer said that she understood that it would have an evaluation and asked that
the information be shared with the Board. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 10, Noes — 4
(Representatives Todd, Totman, Proto, and Winch), Excused — 1 (Representative Schuler).
RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Dental Services Advisory Committee was charged with
choosing a sustainable solution for meeting the dental care needs of Medicaid and certain other low-
income individuals at the most reasonable cost and by the earliest reasonable target date, and
WHEREAS, that body's research indicates that the creation of a Case Management Program has
the best potential for increasing the services provided to these under -served county residents, and
WHEREAS, as Surgeon General David Satcher describes in the preface to Oral Health in
America: A Report of the Surgeon General, "...it is abundantly clear that there are profound and
consequential disparities in the oral health of our citizens. Indeed, what amounts to a `silent epidemic' of
dental and oral diseases is affecting some population groups. This burden of disease restricts activities in
school, work, and home and often significantly diminishes the quality of life. Those who suffer the worse
oral health are found among the poor of all ages, with poor children and poor older Americans
particularly vulnerable. Members of racial and ethnic minority groups also experience a disproportionate
share of oral health problems.", and
WHEREAS, a case management staff person will be required to assist and support dental office
sites, educate and counsel clients, provide feedback mechanisms and coordinate all other aspects of the
program, and
WHEREAS, a 15 -month pilot program would allow sufficient time for the program to develop
and for its effectiveness to be evaluated, and
WHEREAS, local funds in the form of 2000 Rollover have already been approved for this
project, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Health and Human Services Committee, That the
County create a Senior Social Welfare Examiner position within the Department of Social Services at
35.0 hours per week to perform dental case management from October 15, 2002 through December 31,
2003,
RESOLVED, further, That the Director of Finance be directed to execute a transfer of $8,755
from 6010.54442 [Professional Services] to 6010.51000558 [Senior Social Welfare Examiner salary] and
also $2,276 from 6010.54442 [Professional Services] to 6010.58800 [Fringes].

Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Economic and Workforce Development
Committee
Mr. Lane, Chair, said the Committee met on October 10, 2002, and reviewed the request from the
Ithaca Housing Authority to add an over -target request for individual development accounts. He said
taking into consideration all the issues we are facing at the present time, the Committee could not support
the request. The Committee also reviewed the room tax law and the feasibility of retaining funds from
the room tax revenue for administrative purposes as outlined in the local law. This subject will be
reviewed by the contract administrator and reported back to the Budget Committee. The 2002
Beautification Program awarded nine grants in a variety of areas throughout the County. The proposal for
Community Celebrations Grant Procedures developed in cooperation with the County Historian was
reviewed by the Committee members. Mr. Lane said that discussions will continue on a proposed
resolution brought forth by Representative Herrera that deals with living wage and how it relates the
County's policies. The Joint Working Group is awaiting a report from Ms. Armstrong of the Tompkins
352
October 15, 2002
County Area Development office that will provide an analysis of wages and benefits in order to determine
the level of wage that would most benefit individuals. Tompkins County Area Development also
provided a written report that included information on the recent membership drive as well as upcoming
projects, the Industrial Development Agencies contractual policies, and the Empire Zone application
which is in the process of active review. Ms. Armstrong said with a review of jobs lost over the past
several years the Empire Zone application would now indicate the County is eligible for this designation.
Mr. Proto inquired if the Strategic Tourism grants awards will have a report available. Mr. Lane
indicated that he will obtain the information.
RESOLUTION NO. 253 - ACCEPTANCE OF OLDER WORKER'S RETENTION GRANT —
TOMPKINS COUNTY WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
MOVED by Mr. Lane, seconded by Ms. Herrera. Mr. Lane commented that although this grant did
not allow Workforce Development to use funds for administration, as is the case with the majority of grants
applied for, Ms. Giordano of Workforce Development was able to clearly show that the administration of
this grant was separate from the day-to-day functions and will be able to designate a portion for
administrative funding. Ms. Herrera said she was pleased to see this resolution will assist in retraining and
maintaining manufacturing and labor work forces. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 14, Noes — 0,
Excused — 1 (Representative Schuler). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the Workforce Development Board applied on behalf of a consortium of three local
companies for an older worker grant for the purpose of developing strategies to retain older workers, and
WHEREAS, the County has been awarded the grant from the State of New York in the amount of
$168,682, and
WHEREAS, the funds will pay for the cost of hiring a consultant and providing worker
assessments and training, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Economic and Workforce Development Committee,
That the County hereby accepts the grant in the amount of $168,682,
RESOLVED, further, That the County Administrator be authorized to execute any contracts
related to this project,
RESOLVED, further, That the Director of Finance be authorized and directed to make the
following budget adjustment to his books:

Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Budget and Capital Committee
Mr. Penniman, Chair, said the Committee has met often and a lot of progress has been made
through Program Committees. He feels everyone has recognized the difficulty in voting to cut programs
seen to have value due to the difficult budget situation. He feels the months of preparation spent has been
beneficial to having a full understanding and that meetings have been smooth due to the knowledge. He
353
October 15, 2002
said that there are video tapes available for those who have not been able to attend all meetings. The next

RESOLUTION NO. 254 - CALLING FOR THE GOVERNOR AND STATE LEGISLATURE
TO CAP COUNTIES' SHARE OF MEDICAID NOW!
MOVED by Mr. Penniman, seconded by Mr. Lane, and unanimously adopted by voice vote of
members present.
WHEREAS, since the enactment of the Medicaid program, counties in New York State have been
required to share in the costs of service; Counties are mandated by the state to contribute a twenty-five
percent matching share with the exception of certain long-term care and mental health services, and
WHEREAS, counties have minimal authority to manage, control or reduce their Medicaid costs,
and therefore serve primarily as a means to transfer a portion of the State's share of Medicaid from the
statewide tax base to local property tax bases, and
WHEREAS, in 2001 local taxpayers paid over $4.3 billion in net Medicaid costs through their
local budgets and it is estimated that the net Medicaid local share will increase to $4.8 billion in 2002, and
exceed $5.4 billion in 2003, and
WHEREAS, for counties outside New York City, the Medicaid local share has doubled between
1990 — 2001, making Medicaid the largest and most volatile single expense in county budgets, and
WHEREAS, recent actions by the State, including shifting of Medicaid managed care costs to
counties, the shifting of mental health costs to counties, the expansion of various Medicaid payment rates,
the creation of the Family Health Plus Program and expanded funding for healthcare worker recruitment
and retention, has compounded the local Medicaid problem and added to the fiscal crisis currently facing
counties, and
WHEREAS, the resurgence of Medicaid growth reflects the underlying problems and funding
inequities of the Medicaid program which place unique burdens on counties, jeopardize the long-term
fiscal stability of county governments, and add to the burden of regressive local property taxes, and
WHEREAS, it is imperative that the Governor and State Legislature take responsibility for the
growth of New York State's program by capping the Medicaid local share at 2001 base levels, and
WHEREAS, this cap would provide local governments significant budgetary relief, and
WHEREAS, this cap would provide county taxpayers with real property tax relief in 2003, now
therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Capital Committee, That the Tompkins
County Board of Representatives calls upon the Governor and the State Legislature to make fundamental
structural reform to the Medicaid program and provide real property taxpayers with relief by CAPPING
COUNTIES' SHARE OF MEDICAID NOW at the 2001 base level,
RESOLVED, further, That the Tompkins County Board of Representatives shall forward copies
of this resolution to Governor George E. Pataki, Hon. James L. Seward, Hon. John R. Kuhl, Hon. Martin
Luster, Hon. Charles Schumer, Hon. Hillary Clinton, Hon. Maurice Hinchey, Hon. Amory Houghton, and
all others deemed necessary and proper.

RESOLUTION NO. 255 - CALLING ON THE PRESIDENT AND THE UNITED STATES
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TO SUPPORT AN INCREASE IN

TO PROVIDE NEW YORK COUNTIES WITH MEDICAID RELIEF
MOVED by Mr. Penniman, seconded by Mr. Booth, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by
members present.
354
October 15, 2002
WHEREAS, under Federal Law, local governments are not responsible for any portion of
Medicaid funding, however, Congress has given states the ability to require local governments to share in
financing the non-federal share of Medicaid costs, and
WHEREAS, Medicaid has become the largest single appropriation in every county budget and
with the reemergence of double-digit annual growth rates it is siphoning away the limited resources
needed to fund other critical budgetary needs at the county level, and
WHEREAS, the National Governor's Association (NGA), including Governor Pataki, have
supported a proposal for a temporary increase in the federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP) as an
economic stimulus option that would provide more federal funding for state Medicaid programs, and
WHEREAS, NGA has indicated that it would both help to stimulate the nation's economy and
shore up the safety net for low-income families, and
WHEREAS, on January 16, 2002, the Governor and New York State Legislature enacted
legislation that provides for a multi -billion, three-year plan to address New York's shortage of health care
workers, to fmancially strengthen New York's hospitals, nursing homes, and other health care facilities
and increase funding for other important health care programs, and
WHEREAS, this new plan will increase the local Medicaid burden, currently over $4.3 billion
annually, by approximately $300 million over the next three years from increased reimbursement to
hospitals, nursing homes, and home care facilities, and
WHEREAS, this legislation also assumes the funding from an increase in the FMAP of three
percent for the next three state fiscal years and relies on this increased federal funding as a major offset to
the new local costs, and
WHEREAS, without the increased FMAP, property taxpayers across the state that fund county
budgets, will be forced to absorb the resulting increased Medicaid burden in their local tax bill, and
WHEREAS, the United States Senate has supported a temporary FMAP increase via the
Rockefeller -Collins -Nelson -Smith amendment to the Greater Access to Affordable Pharmaceuticals Act
of 2001, which would provide counties and New York City with one time Medicaid relief of
approximately $100 million and $200 million, respectively, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Capital Committee, That the Tompkins
County Board of Representatives calls upon the President and the United States House of Representatives
to support an increase in the federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP) to provide New York's local
taxpayers with relief from the crushing financial burden of the Medicaid program,
RESOLVED, further, That the Tompkins County Board of Representatives shall forward copies
of this Resolution to the President, members of the United States House of Representatives and all others
deemed necessary and proper.

handed out to Committee members for the budget meeting to be held on October 16, 2002.
Report from the Public Works Committee
Ms. Blanchard, Chair, indicated the Committee met on October 3, 2002. She said a good deal of
time was spent on the Solid Waste budget and the Red Mill Road Bridge in Dryden, New York. This

meeting of the Planning Committee and the Health and Human Services in the evening of October 17,
2002, to hear from the public on the Neighbor Notification Pesticide Law.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Government Operations Committee
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, Chair, said the Committee met October 8, 2002, and most topics are
reflected in resolutions coming forth at this meeting or a future meeting. He said Advisory Board Survey
results have been distributed for review and responses/suggestions are forthcoming from the various
Program Committees. The Public Information Officer had discussed the best way to provide public
information on the current year's budget review and recommended Board members contact the Public
Information Office if they have ideas of ways to present the material. Next, he reported the Assessment
Department had previously chosen the individuals who participate on the Assessment Review Board. Ms.
Coggin, Director of Assessment, felt that members should be required to go through the same approval
process as other boards and is requesting nominations for the Assessment Review Board, which will then
go through the Government Operations Committee for their approval.
Mr. Proto inquired as to the status of the 2020 and Quality of Life Committees. Mr. Koplinka-
Loehr indicated the final edit copy of information for the Quality of Life Committee was just circulated
for review. He anticipates this to go to the public by the end of the year, and at that point the 2020
Committee will determine the next step.
RESOLUTION NO. 256 - FREEZING SALARIES OF THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD
OF REPRESENTATIVES FOR 2003
MOVED by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, seconded by Mr. Booth. Mr. Koplinka-Loehr said the salaries
are set as a stipend to help deal with potential loss wages and to notify the public of what the salary will
be for the period a member holds the office. He said the resolution will freeze salaries for 2003 in order
to assist in reductions during this period of budget constraints. Mr. Totman said he is not against a freeze
of increase in salaries, but it is not significant enough a cut to assist in resolving budgetary issues; he
would rather see additional cuts in other areas of the budget. Mr. Proto inquired what would occur in the
year 2004. Mr. Koplinka-Loehr said that the salaries would then go to the regular track and would
increase to the $16,500 level.
MOVED by Mr. Winch, seconded by Mr. Proto, to present a substitute resolution. Mr. Winch
said the previous resolution does not show sacrifice by the Board members and it is important to do so.
The proposed substitute would freeze salaries at the current level for the remainder of the term. He feels
that the future budgets will be as difficult as this year's budget and employees and constituents need to
know the Board is willing to take a reduction as well as the departments and programs in the County. Mr.
Todd said he would support the resolution. He feels that the Board needs to be very serious about the
budget and this is the first step that should be taken.
Ms. McBean shared personal experiences with the Board and the public, noting that many of the
services being cut are utilized by her family. She said the stipend given the Board is her main source of
income and to reduce it to the level that Mr. Winch suggests would be devastating to her family. Ms.
McBean said she is willing to show her support for the resolution originally presented, even though it will
create a hardship on an already -stretched personal budget. She said she will struggle to find the funds,
and feels that she is not alone. She said many individuals referred to the increase as only an extra ten
dollars a month, but for some that is too much. She said if she were in a different place and time and
could afford it she would be happy to support Mr. Winch's resolution, but could not at this time.
Representative Schuler arrived at this time.
356
October 15, 2002
Ms. Robertson asked if Mr. Koplinka-Loehr's resolution would allow a revisit next year if
appropriate and was told it could. A roll call vote resulted as follows on the substitute resolution: Ayes —
3 (Representatives Winch, Proto, and Todd), Noes — 12 (Representatives Blanchard, Booth, Herrera,
Joseph, Kiefer, Koplinka-Loehr, Lane, McBean, Penniman, Robertson, Schuler, and Totman). MOTION
FAILED.
Mr. Proto said Board members are employed in a different manner, ran for different reasons, and
have different demands for their time. He makes every effort to be as involved as possible with the duties
required of him in all aspects of his life. He spoke of the history of the Board of Representatives and how
historically the Board has shown employees and residents of their willingness to bear part of the financial
burden facing everyone. He indicated that personally Board members could offer a portion of their salary
to particular departments or agencies if they so desired. A voice vote resulted as follows on the original
resolution — Ayes — 14, Noes — 1 (Representative Totman). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 269 of 2000, the Board of Representatives established salaries for
the members of the Board for each year from 2002 through 2005, and
WHEREAS, due to unfunded mandates and other circumstances the County faces an extremely
difficult budget situation in 2003, and
WHEREAS, the members of the Board of Representatives believe that freezing their own salaries
at the 2002 level for the 2003 year would benefit the taxpayers of the County, and
WHEREAS, freezing Board Members salaries at the 2002 level for the 2003 year would save the
County $7,750 in payroll spending in 2003 and reduce the budget by an overall amount of $9,842, now
therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Government Operations Committee, That Resolution
No. 269 of 2000 is amended to change the annual salary for a member of the Tompkins County Board of
Representatives for the 2003 term (January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2003), from $16,000 to $15,500,
with a corresponding change for the Board Chair.

2002. Mr. Proto inquired what information was found regarding the Veteran's Service Office area. Mr.
Lane said the Committee is still investigating this obscure area of the Charter and attempting to determine
what is involved in retaining it. At the present time Workforce Development is looking to see whether
they may be able to work the Veteran's Service Office within their department as many of the services are
already being completed in that particular office.
Report from the Communications Capital Proiects Committee

Approval of Minutes of October 1, 2002
It was MOVED by Mr. Totman, seconded by Mr. Proto, and unanimously adopted by voice vote,
to approve the minutes of October 1, 2002, as submitted. MINUTES APPROVED.
Individual Member -Filed Resolution
RESOLUTION NO. 257 - OPPOSING A PREEMPTIVE AND UNILATERAL STRIKE ON
IRAQ
MOVED by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Ms. Herrera. Ms. Robertson said although she feels in
some ways it is too late to have the effect it would have previously she desired to still file the resolution in
an effort to let the federal legislators know the feelings of the people. She said the cost of the war alone
would be adequate reason to oppose a military action; however, she has also received comments two -to -
one in support of a resolution of this nature as well. Mr. Totman said he has not had the comments in
favor of the Board of Representatives acting upon a resolution such as this, in fact, the comments received
have been that it is not the County's place to be involved in Federal business. Mr. Winch is also opposed
to the resolution. He said nobody likes war, it is costly, and conflicts that do not always end up in war are
costly as well. He indicated we live in a society with representative government and sometimes decisions
regarding situations are based upon information they are aware of, which may not be public knowledge.
He feels that it is important to have faith that those making decisions are fully apprised and their actions
are based on valid information.
Mr. Booth said he would rather not vote on this type of resolution, but since it is presented, he
noted he would like to present a substitute resolution and MOVED its approval, seconded by Mr. Lane.
Ms. Blanchard encouraged Board members to support Mr. Booth's resolution as it appears to be able to
be favorable to the majority. Mr. Proto also supports the substitute resolution and feels the substitute is a
more appropriate form to go to the Federal government. He reported the Town of Caroline did not pass a
resolution opposing a military action. Ms. Kiefer said she could not support the substitute resolution as it
does not say what she believes and it is not clear what the resolved means states. She had considered
offering a substitute that would express her feelings such as the existing policy of containment of Iraq has
worked for more than a decade, there is no evidence that Iraq poses an immediate or near term threat to
the United States. She said to Mr. Winch that she takes seriously the comments of members of the
Congressional Intelligence Oversight Committees for the military, which say there is as yet no real
evidence that Iraq poses a threat to the United States. She feels we are part of an international community
and historically the United States does not engage in a first strike, that it is not a matter of might makes
right, which is the reputation the United States is getting. She feels if we were to have a unilateral
preemptive strike it would unleash horror.
Ms. Robertson said she received copies of an advertisement appearing in The Ithaca Journal, on
September 28, 2002, with approximately three hundred names of residents in the County against going to
war with Iraq, along with petitions with five -hundred fifty signatures from constituents conveying the
same message. She feels it is important to apprise the Federal government of the thoughts of the citizens.
Ms. Robertson said she does not understand the meaning of the last portion of the substitute motion
either. Ms. Herrera asked if an explanation of the resolved be given so that she could understand the
intent. She stated she prefers there not to be war, but if it happens will support the United States. Mr.
358
October 15, 2002
Lane supports the substitute resolution, saying the country created and support the United Nations and
likes the reference to the obligations we have. He feels we need to trust the Federal government and feels
a statement indicating complying with the United Nations is a reasonable one. Ms. McBean said she feels
his resolution would be a statement she is looking for but would like clarification of the resolved as well.
Chair Joseph said he had researched the United Nations Charter to find out what the specific
obligation was. He said that the portion of the charter pertaining to the resolution reads as follows: "Its
members shall not use force or the threat of force to resolve disputes." He then said there are two
exceptions to this: 1) "in self defense when attacked by another nation; " and 2) "under the direction of
the United Nations Security Council."
Mr. Booth said his resolution is saying that the country should not go to war unless it acts through
the United Nations and complies with its obligations under the United Nations Charter. He is not
opposed to a military action provided it is within the framework set by the United Nations Charter. A
voice vote on the motion to substitute resulted as follows: Ayes — 7 (Representatives Blanchard, Booth,
Herrera, Koplinka-Loehr, Lane, Proto, and Winch), Noes — 8 (Representatives Joseph, Kiefer, McBean,
Penniman, Robertson, Schuler, Todd, and Totman) MOTION FAILED.
With the original motion back on the floor, Chair Joseph spoke of the previous conflict in Iraq in
1991, and how our country led the world's opposition against Iraq for committing an act of aggression
against another country. He said the argument for this action was that one country does not have the right
under the United Nations Charter and International Law to invade and conquer another and the action
cannot be allowed. The United States had indicated then that the unilateral action could not take place,
and now we are proposing to do it. He feels it is not an action of democracy but an action of an empire.
He said the United States is not following the rules stated previously and is considering an action not
consistent with a democracy. As he has a young son who could be involved in this conflict he is opposed
to a military action and desires to notify the Federal government of this.
Ms. Blanchard said approximately five weeks previous she had been approached about the
possibility of a resolution opposing a military action in Iraq. She responded by saying she did not feel it
could have unanimous support and a letter should be drafted to be signed by those willing and this was
not done. She said she does not feel that the final resolved in the proposed resolution accurately reflects
her opinion and that she does not like being put in a position of being viewed as supporting conflict if she
votes against the resolution.
Ms. Herrera called the question. Mr. Totman commented the Town of Ithaca had written a letter
with their concerns. He requested that the substitute resolution offered by Mr. Booth be reconsidered, and
MOVED its reconsideration, seconded by Mr. Lane. Ms. Robertson seconded Ms. Herrera's calling the
question. The Chair ruled that the motion from Mr. Totman was currently on the floor.
Ms. Robertson challenged the Chair's ruling, seconded by Ms. Kiefer. A roll call vote to sustain
the ruling of the Chair resulted as follows: Ayes — 8 (Representatives Blanchard, Booth, Koplinka-Loehr,
Lane, Penniman, Proto, Totman, and Winch), Noes — 5 (Representatives Herrera, Kiefer, McBean,
Robertson, Schuler, and Todd), (Chair of the Board does not participate in the vote). MOTION

At this time, Chair Joseph stated the substitute resolution is on the floor, now as the main motion.
It was MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Ms. Herrera, to include the following language
within the resolved: "which are to refrain from force, or threat of force, unless attacked, or acting under
the auspices of Security Council ". A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes — 8 (Representatives
Blanchard, Herrera, Joseph, Kiefer, McBean, Penniman, Robertson, and Schuler), Noes — 7
(Representatives Booth, Koplinka-Loehr, Lane, Proto, Todd, Totman, and Winch). MOTION
APPROVED.
At this time, a voice vote on the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes — 14, Noes — 1
(Representative Todd). RESOLUTION APPROVED.
WHEREAS the government of the United States is considering the initiation of military action
against Iraq, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the Tompkins County Board of Representatives respectfully urges the
President not to initiate military action against Iraq unless that action complies with this Country's
obligations pursuant to the Charter of the United Nations, which are to refrain from force, or threat of
force, unless attacked, or acting under the auspices of Security Council.

School.
Privilege of the Floor was reopened later in the meeting as members of the public arrived and
wished to speak.
Privilege of the Floor Board members
Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Representative, congratulated all candidates who ran for public office.
He congratulated Peter Meskill for being elected to another term as Tompkins County Sheriff and Barbara
Lifton to her first term as New York State Assemblywoman. In addition he congratulated all other local
and State officials that won.
Mr. Proto also commented on those who were able to attend the Rotary pancake breakfast
yesterday; it was very well attended and he thanked everyone for coming. Mr. Proto also said it is very
nice when in our community there has been a business that has survived and prospered for 100 years.
Many were invited to attend a celebration this past weekend to celebrate the 100t anniversary of the First
National Bank in Dryden.
Mr. Lane, District No. 14 Representative, said one of his first jobs was working at the First
National Bank in Dryden as a teller, and commented there are not many independent banks left. It is
important to see local people serving customers locally. He joined Representative Proto in congratulating
people at the First National Bank in Dryden for serving the community for 100 years.
Mr. Todd, District No. 6 Representative, said he has had a long-standing relationship and very
positive experience with the First National Bank in Dryden. On another topic, he said he has a list of
potential budget cuts and would like to have some resolution or direction as to when that list could be
brought before the Board for consideration. Mr. Joseph said the expanded budget committee has met up
until the point of recommending a budget, the next step is presenting it at a public hearing. He said the
appropriate time is to bring the amendments to the Board at the November 19t Board meeting, the night
the proposed budget is anticipating being adopted. He said any proposed amendments should be
submitted to Kathy Smithers so she can put it in the proper format for the Board members.

November 6, 2002
Ms. Blanchard, District No. 1 Representative, reminded the Board the United Way Campaign is
still under way and urged individuals to make a contribution. She also reported on a publication entitled
"Where Women Made History" put out by the New York State Department of Economic Development
and said it is part of the "I Love New York" Program. She reported there is a new Tompkins
Consolidated Area Transit (TCAT) program entitled PERC (Parents who are Employed Ride Cost-free").
This is a very good way to provide free transportation for individuals who meet the income eligibility and
who are having a difficult time finding transportation.
Report from a Municipal Official
No Municipal Official was present.
Privilege of the Floor by the Public
As some members of the public arrived at this time, Mr. Joseph reopened Privilege of the Floor
for members of the public who wished to speak.
Russ Beck, Dairy Farmer, spoke about the proposed property tax increase and the effect it will
have on his family and business. He said last year they paid $42,000 in combined school and County
taxes. The economic climate is very harsh right now, and they have very little or no control in the pricing
of milk. He understands the County's position, but needs to express his family's concern. If we do have
a property tax increase, he asks if ag assessments can be relieved in some manner to go along with that.
[Ms. Kiefer arrived at 5:48 p.m.]
Mr. Penniman provided part of his Budget and Capital Committee report in response to the
comments made under Privilege of the Floor. He said the Board is looking at approximately a thirteen
percent (13%) property tax increase. The Board has made cuts throughout County government including
40 jobs being cut. If it weren't for State mandates there would be no increase since the thirteen percent
(13%) property tax increase is equivalent to the increasing State mandates; salary increases have been
absorbed, as have additional staffing at the jail which was a new mandate, and ongoing costs of programs
that were previously funded by one-time monies. Despite all these cuts, there is still a 13 percent property
tax increase. A public hearing is scheduled on November 19t to hear individuals speak on the County's
Capital and Operating Budgets.
Report from the Chair
Mr. Joseph said he did not have report.
Report from the County Administrator
Mr. Whicher said there is discussion going on about the format of the budget as given to the

SEQR ACTION: TYPE 11-20
Report from the Budget and Capital Committee
Mr. Penniman, Chairman, continued his Committee report from Privilege of the Floor. He feels
the Board has done a good job with the County Budget, in a timely manner, and with plenty of public
input along the way. The next regular Committee meeting will be November 12th and will be discussing
the repeal of the exemption of sales tax on clothing and footwear. The Committee will also discuss
adding a new line on the tax bill that will include the total for state mandates. Projections for 2004 will
also be looked at — a twenty percent increase is possible.
Mr. Proto raised a question about the items he brought forth at the expanded Budget and Capital
Committee and asked if they would be brought before the Committee during the 2004 budget process.
Mr. Penniman said it would be appropriate to bring items relating to personnel expenses up during the
process to construct the 2004 budget.
Mr. Joseph commented about the State of New York and the Tompkins County budget. Mr.
Joseph said it is happening statewide that tax increases can be attributed to increases in state mandates.
All counties across New York State are facing similar problems. Counties are finding that they have no
choice. A County Executive made a comment that the State government has made large income tax cuts
and has turned around and required counties to make large increases in property taxes. He commented
that in his opinion when the Board adopts its budget, it will be adopting a State property tax.
Report from the Public Safety Committee
Mrs. Schuler, Chair, reported the Committee will meet tomorrow at 12:30 p.m. and highlighted
some of the agenda items including the restructuring of the E911 Operations Committee, STOP -DWI
program, and graduated licensing.
Ms. Kiefer requested the Committee at a future meeting discuss the recent extension in New York
State to eight years for a drivers license renewal. She noted that this does provide an infusion of cash to
New York State, but she expressed concern over the length of time that elapses between renewals and the
potential for significant changes in a person's health such as eyesight. Ms. Blanchard agreed, and Ms.
Schuler said this will be discussed.
364
November 6, 2002
Report from the Health and Human Services Committee
Mrs. Schuler, Vice Chair, said the Committee will meet on November 12th at 9 a.m.
Report from the Information Technology Services Policy Committee
Mr. Joseph, Member, reported the Committee met and discussed the budget.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Public Works Committee
Ms. Blanchard, Chair, said the Committee met October 17th. She reported on several Airport
issues. There were 20 new Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees that began at the
airport on November 19 (20 in order to provide shift coverage). These employees need an administrative
area/office space and after a great deal of negotiations, an agreement was reached to use some of the
uncommitted airline space with a provision that the TSA will vacate that space if an airline wished to use
it. She emphasized that there is no cost to County taxpayers or to the Airport fund balance as a result of
these new inspectors. The total costs are being borne by the Federal government through a contract with
the County.
She said Board members should have received a report from Mr. Nicholas, Airport Manager, to
the Air Service Task Force, describing the reasons for the decrease in emplanements of about 13 percent
since September 11, 2001. However, the County continues to keep the Airport in the forefront so the
County is positioned to take advantage of any service improvements that might come along. E.g.,
Commutair (Continental Connection) has reestablished itself in New York via Albany and will likely
consider resuming service to the Southern Tier. A marketing package has been prepared for them. She
also reported there was a follow-up visit from a representative of Comair (Delta Express) to the Task
Force sponsored trip to Atlanta.
The Task Force continues to keep in touch with Senator Schumer who also invited representatives
to attend a regional meeting in Syracuse with David Siega, US Airways CEO. Although this meeting was
not particularly encouraging, it could provide the County with a US Air contact. She said they continue
to press Allegany (US Airways Express) to reopen the Boston service. The marketing package for
Atlantic Coast Airlines (United Express) is ready and awaiting the go ahead to submit.
Ms. Blanchard reported on the Small Community Air Service Grant, which required a $50,000
local match. However, due to budget constraints, Tompkins County Area Development/Industrial
Development Agency only offered $10,000 and the grant was not awarded to Tompkins County. Broome
County appropriated $100,000 for their Airport and received a $500,000 grant and will be using it over
three years to subsidize regional jet service via Delta Connection.
The Committee had a demonstration of the entire process of the pavement management system
tool the County invested in earlier this year. In addition, the Committee also learned that the Highway
Division can no longer afford to upgrade shoulders or add shoulders to a road unless it is a Tea 21 project
which requires certain standards be met when using Federal money. Ms. Blanchard also announced the
dedication of North Triphammer Road and that Representative Todd cut the ribbon.
RESOLUTION NO. 260 - APPROPRIATION FROM CONTINGENCY FUND AND AWARD
OF BID — TOMPKINS COUNTY BRIDGE PAINTING
MOVED by Ms. Blanchard, seconded by Mr. Booth. Mr. Joseph he will vote against this
resolution because it is a very small appropriation to a department that has several million dollars in its
budget. He feels departments have considerable latitude in how they use money; The Board does not ask
for money back when they have extra and does not think a department should request money when they
fall short.

WHEREAS, Tompkins Consolidated Area Transportation (TCAT) has drafted a Strategic Plan
for approval by the TCAT Board of Directors that identifies the formation of a single transit organization
with one employer as one of three major objectives for the future, and
WHEREAS, the TCAT Board of Directors is committed to working together to restructure TCAT
as soon as possible to meet this important Strategic Plan objective, and
WHEREAS, the existing April 1, 1998, TCAT Consolidation Agreement, which created the joint
venture structure, will need to be terminated in order to create a different organizational structure, and
WHEREAS, the Consolidation Agreement states: "At any time during the final ninety (90) days
of the fifth [2002] calendar year of this agreement, any party may give written notice to the other parties
that it will withdraw from the joint venture without forfeiture of its share in the assets of TCAT, such
withdrawal to be effective at the end of the sixth [2003] calendar year after the effective date of this
agreement" and,
WHEREAS, the TCAT Board of Directors on behalf of the three partners does not wish to cause
undue concern among employees and customers about the viability of public transit in the County and
fears about job security that would be damaging to morale and make it more difficult to recruit drivers
and retain other employees, and
WHEREAS, given the rapid approach of the withdrawal notice period, one or more of the
partners may feel they have to serve the notice to preserve their rights, and
WHEREAS, this scenario can be avoided if the parties agree to amend the Agreement to extend
the notice period throughout the calendar year 2003 during which time the parties will work to create a
different organizational structure and terminate the Consolidation Agreement, and
WHEREAS, the Consolidation Agreement states it can be amended "only by an instrument in
writing in the same manner in which it was adopted," the City of Ithaca Common Council, the Tompkins
County Board of Representatives, and Cornell University will all need to sign the proposed amendment,
now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Public Works Committee, That the TCAT Board of
Directors requests the City of Ithaca, Tompkins County, and Cornell University to amend the first
sentence of Section 8.1 (c) of the Consolidation Agreement as follows:
"At any time during the sixth [2003] calendar year of this agreement, any party may give written
notice to the other parties that it will withdraw from the joint venture without forfeiture of its share in the
assets of TCAT, such withdrawal to be effective at the end of the seventh [2004] calendar year after the
effective date of this agreement,"
RESOLVED, further, That the TCAT General Manager, working with Partner Representatives on
the TCAT Board of Directors, is directed to convey this request to the City of Ithaca, Tompkins County,
and Cornell University for action in as timely a manner as is possible.

Report from the Planning Committee
Ms. Kiefer, Chair, reported the Committee held a public meeting on October 17th to discuss the
Pesticide Neighbor Notification Law and she commented that it went really well. There was very little
redundancy in the comments made. At the regular Committee meeting, the Committee heard from the
Environmental Management Council (EMC) Coordinator that Susan Brock will not continue as chair of
the EMC in 2003. She reported there is an intern in the Planning Department working on the Cities for
Climate Protection Program and a local action plan is being developed. The Unique Natural Areas
Committee was asked to look at trails that go through natural areas and make a recommendation on how
the impact would be handled if at all. Ms. Kiefer commented on the appointments made to the Cayuga
Lake Intermunicipal Organization. The Water Resources Council (WRC) has asked for clarification on
how municipal members to the WRC should be solicited and selected. In the past the use of the
Municipal Officials Association (MOA) made sense, but the WRC has been sending requests to
Municipal governments directly anyway. By motion, the Committee agreed it did not make sense to ask
the MOA to come up with names if the WRC was still going to contact municipalities and because the
City is not a member of the MOA. The Planning Department has begun public meetings on the
367
November 6, 2002
development of a Comprehensive Plan. The Committee had a brief update on County -owned property.
The County owns a lot of parcels but the Committee discussed a small parcel off Elmira Road which is
adjacent to Buttermilk Falls State Park and near where the Black Diamond trail may go. The parcel may
be relevant for Coreorgonel, a Native American site. The discussion was preliminary concerning the
future status of that land and whether it should remain County property.
Withdrawal of Resolution(s) from the Agenda
Chair Joseph granted Ms. Kiefer permission to withdraw from the agenda the resolution entitled

Report from the Communications Capital Projects Committee
Ms. Blanchard, Chair, said the Committee met on October 22nd and heard a financial status report
on the project elements. The Committee received a report on the status of the Public Safety
Communications System Project (Towers Project). She reported they are in the midst of an in-depth
review by the consultants, NYSTEC (New York State Technology Enterprise Corporation), of the
Motorola proposals. NYSTEC is also updating the information for the coverage and capacity of the
current system. The Committee discussed the letter of intent that is being developed between the County
and the State Office for Technology SWN (Statewide Wireless Network) project team. SWN is now
reviewing the proposed agreement and is expected to return it with a substantive commitment. A meeting
is being set up with Senator Seward who chairs the special committee created to deal with the SWN
project.
The Committee discussed the status of the 911 Center construction documents and other details
including another meeting with the Village of Lansing Planning Board scheduled for November 11th. In
order to get a building permit under the current Building Code, a special meeting of the Building

the full Board at the time bidding of the project is authorized. The Committee will be considering a draft
contract with Motorola at their next meeting concerning consoles and equipment for the Center.
Mr. Marx, Planning Commissioner, reported on the status of the Department of Transportation
relocation. Comparative analyses have been completed for the two sites in Dryden recommended by the

Public Hearing
Boynton Middle School
Called to Order
Chair Joseph called the public hearing to order at 7 p.m. concerning the proposed 2003 Tompkins
County Budget and the 2003-2007 Capital Program.
Present: 15 Representatives.
Chair Joseph asked if anyone wished to speak.
LeRoy Wollney, Town of Enfield resident, submitted the following statement:
"My name is LeRoy Wollney. I chair the Advisory Committee to the County Office for the Aging, and
am here to emphasize to the county board the great need for funding of the County Office for the Aging.
We are all aware of the fact that the number of elderly is rapidly increasing here in Tompkins County and
throughout the nation, and the need for health and home care services grows greater all the time.
"Services provided by COFA are crucial to the well-being of this aging population. Tompkins County
Office for the Aging is the main source of information, referral and counseling on aging services for
seniors in the county. Daily, the staff assists seniors and families with the many issues and service
options facing today's aging population.
"Supplying information and counseling to the elderly is an important item in relieving stress and anxiety,
which often contribute to illness or to aggravating health problems. For young and agile minds, filling
out applications is usually a routine matter; for many elderly it is often a stressful and anxiety -creating
situation, often leading to depression and worsening of health problems. Imagine what a problem it will
be for many elderly to complete the NYSEG energy supplier form when people with graduate degrees in
Broome county confessed confusion even after attending a public forum about! COFA staff assist seniors
in applying for benefits such as the Home Energy Assistance Program, EPIC - the pharmaceutical
insurance coverage, and Supplemental Security Income known as SSI.
"Maintaining the health of the elderly in their homes is a money -saving activity; it is much less expensive
than caring for them in a nursing home. COFA's "Project CARE" program provides seniors with
assistance in light house keeping, errands and/or transportation and gives overburdened care givers a few
hours of relief through the service of volunteers.
"The EISEP (Expanded In -Home Services for the Elderly Program) contracts with three suppliers to
deliver homemaker/personal care and housekeeping services to seniors in their homes. This program
enables many to remain in their homes instead of going to more costly nursing homes, thus reducing
Medicaid costs to the county.
"The WRAP (Weatherization, Referral and Assistance Program) assists low income seniors make health
and safety-related repairs and energy saving modifications to their homes.
"Foodnet, which has absorbed Meals -on -Wheels, provides hot, balanced nutritional meals to many
elderly, either in their homes or at congregate sites, at little or no cost. It also supplies "Storm" packets
for emergencies.
"The PERS (Personal Emergency Response System) communications system is another COFA service. It
permits a person living alone who are subject to medical emergencies to contact emergency medical
personnel through a small pendant worn on a cord.
371
November 12, 2002
"These and many other services provided by the County Office for the Aging are sorely needed by the
elderly in Tompkins County, possibly by the parents of many here tonight. To end, I quote from a letter
to the Journal last week from a woman in Lansing:
'The responsibility of being a care -giver is quite intense. You need to be prepared to stay home
much of the time and this makes you feel shut in and isolated. The Office for the Aging...gave me
someone to care for my client for a couple of hours a week.
'I felt very alone with my client and her needs. I would support these programs (COFA and
others mentioned) 100 percent as they have helped me tremendously, especially with any questions you
have someone is there to guide you.' "
Terry Beckley, Town of Enfield resident and Senior Citizens Council, said the Retired Senior
Volunteer Program (RSVP) resides under the umbrella of the Senior Citizens Council. RSVP connects
people 55 years of age and older with volunteer opportunities and non-profit agencies in Tompkins
County. In 2001, 379 volunteers donated 64,733 hours to area non -profits. This calculates to over 31
years of service based on 52 weeks per year, five days a week, 8 hours per day, and no vacations. The
hours contributed in 2001 total $1,163,640.40 using the hourly rate of $16.05 per hour plus 12 percent for
fringe benefits. He encouraged the Board to restore full funding to the Senior Citizens Council. If the
funding is not restored it could reduce the programming at the Council including RSVP and the 89 non-
profits that utilize it.
Christine Decker, Town of Danby resident and member of the Foodnet Board, urged continued
funding for preventive services such as Foodnet. She said this program allows older citizens to remain in
their homes and retain optimum health. She said as a cost comparison, one year of Foodnet service,
which includes home delivered meal, personalized dietary plans, and five day a week in-home visits, costs
as much as one day of hospitalization.
George Eberhardt, Groton, spoke about the reports he heard that four members of the Board were
going to cut $30,000 for the Youth Bureau rural programs and is concerned it will impact the Groton
Farmers Market. He suggested the $30,000 could come from the TCAT (Tompkins Consolidated Area
Transit) general fund that was earmarked for the TCAT Center. He also spoke about the cuts to the rural
libraries and feels that the rural areas always seem to be the first to get cut.
Becky Bilderback, Better Housing, submitted the following statement:
"Thank you for taking the time to have multiple public hearings. They are not easy as how I spend my
money - or not spend it, is a very individual matter but something every resident in the county and
certainly everyone in this room feels very strongly about.
"When I left Better Housing a few years ago, I thought the days of coming before you were over, but here
I am. It is nice to look around this room and still know most of you. Those of you that know me well,
know that even though I feel very strongly about some issues such as housing and planning, I am also a
fiscal conservative and believe individual responsibility - not that bigger government is always better.
"Tonight, with that frame of reference, I come as a member of the County Planning Advisory Board and
on behalf of the Planning Department. I should also make it clear that I am speaking for myself, not the
Planning Advisory Board.
"You have made significant cuts in most if not all county departments. The Planning Department is
facing the largest percentage cut of any department, if I am correct in my understanding. While this will
372
November 12, 2002
be difficult to absorb, I personally cannot really oppose this because most of the Planning Department's
work is not mandated and the county must make some cuts.
"However, now some members have proposed a cut that would total over 50% of the department's budget.
While I recognize this additional proposed cut is not in the budget, I want to address it. That will severely
impact your ability as a county to administer existing state and federal grants and to plan for the future.
"There has been considerable information in the press about county government growth in the last few
years. The County Planning Department is not one of those. In the past 5-6 years, it has managed to
bring in significant state and federal grants but has not increased its staff. This proposal will reduce the
staff by 1/2, affect planning on the town and village level and probably necessitate turning back state and
federal dollars that are benefiting our neighbors.
"Some Board members believe that our towns and villages are able to do their own planning and do not
need the county. On one level this is true, most towns have nonprofessional planning boards for issues
within their municipality, but where do they go when advice, ideas, interpretations, etc. are needed. Most
frequently, they go to the county planning department. Much of the department's work is directly at the
request of the local municipalities, especially the rural ones. They also do a lot of work that crosses town,
city, and village lines such as the long term Aquifer Study, Commercial Center Revitalization, housing,
and support to other departments especially for helping other Advisory Boards with their planning issues.
They also support you on County Land policies such as reviewing properties on the tax foreclosure list,
SEQRA, and use of county facilities.
"Planning is the basis by which we project and look to the future. I agree that hindsight is always better
than foresight. But you all know now, that if you had been more careful with the reserves and spending in
the past few years we would not be in as difficult a situation as we are. But have you really learned? I
am very disturbed that this cut was proposed for the Planning Department with no one even coming to Ed
Marx, the Commissioner, in advance. There was NO PLANNING in this cut - just make it and then "see"
what happens. That is not good representation of your constituents.
"I urge you to reconsider.
"Thank you again for this opportunity to speak to you tonight."
Jean McPheeters, Chamber of Commerce President, thanked the Board and staff for work done
on the proposed budget. She said Board members should have received a resolution the Chamber Board
passed two weeks ago. She referenced a report by Tompkins County Area Development (TCAD) that
states in 1970 Tompkins County was seven percent below the United States average per capita retail
sales. By 1992, that figured had dropped to 16 percent below the U.S. average. TCAD estimates that in
1997 retail sales leakage from Tompkins County was approximately $157,000,000 excluding food and
automobile -related spending. Those sales alone could produce about 6.25 million dollars at the four
percent County tax rate. The Chamber's concern is the reinstatement of the sales tax on clothing and
shoes may encourage shoppers to leave the County for back -to -school, holiday shopping, or other major
shopping trips. Legislators need to consider the ramifications of tax policy, and whether these policies
will in the long run increase or decrease tax collection. She and the Chamber understand revenue funding
cannot be increased in the budget but hoped the Board would consider the removal of the exemption as a
one-year measure.
Herb Engman, Town of Danby, feels the proposed 12.9 percent property tax increase is tolerable.
Tompkins County Government is still a good value for the taxpayer. He is disturbed to hear of a
substantial cut being proposed for the Planning Department and having worked with the Department for
over 20 years, he feels the work it does is superb such as the maps of Unique Natural Areas. He spoke of
the effectiveness of the Department and feels planning is a sensible investment of public dollars and urged
the Board not to cut the Planning Department further.
373
November 12, 2002
Steve Bieler, Trumansburg, commented that he has worked in Tompkins County for over 30
years. He spoke about the library and opposes any cuts that may be proposed. It is an exceptional library
and is an important part of his life.
Nancy Spero, Enfield, submitted the following statement:
"I am speaking as a local Registered Nurse, and County Taxpayer in the Town of Enfield. I am
very concerned about the cuts to the County Health Department. In my current position as a School
Nurse in Ithaca, and as a health care provider, I rely on the Health Department for up to date information,
referrals for clients and their families, for assistance with clinics and the care they provide to people in
need. I would rather see my taxes raised than see cuts in this vital part of our county services.
"In this time of concern with terrorist attacks, and epidemics, we cannot afford to cut the services
that people look to for their needs. The work they have put in during the recent Pertussis outbreak has
shown me how vitally important it is that we have this department here providing for us. They have put
in many extra hours, both working on the front lines and supporting others who are also on the front lines.
The Ithaca School District nurses have relied on the Health Department staff for monitoring, controlling
the outbreak, and educating the public. They are the service all families can turn to for health care and
support when they have no other choice. Their immunization clinics, dental support services, home care
and environmental health services have been services I have counted on more than once in the past year;
and they have been able to come through with the information and support I have grown to count on.
This is clearly not a department with extra fat to trim. The Health Department employees are always
working to their maximum potential to protect the public health of this community. I think we will all
feel the negative affects if they are cut. It is very short sighted to cut the services of the Health
Department. It will have an impact on our entire community."
Harriet Sutherland, Town of Ulysses, said she teaches kindergarten in Newfield. She spoke of
her support for the rural libraries and encouraged the Board to keep the funding the same for rural
communities and not cut it ten percent.
Paul Hesler, Executive Director, Food Bank of the Southern Tier, spoke on behalf of the 20+
hungry -relief agencies that make up the food -distribution network that are member agencies of the food
bank. He appreciates the ongoing support provided for the network locally. Those agencies distributed
over one -million pounds of food last year in the local community. He also spoke in support of the other
human service agencies and said they will all feel the affects of the budget process. He asked the Board
to make decisions with practicality as well as compassion.
Gail Park, Director of the Southworth Library in Dryden, said she is representing all the rural
library directors. The support provided to rural libraries is an extension of the support for the Public
Library. The Tompkins County Public Library borrowed over 7,000 items from other libraries most of
which were from the four local rural libraries. She hopes the Board will continue its support for the rural
libraries, which is an extension of services provided to County residents.
Pat McElwee, Realtor and Vice President of the Board for the Senior Citizens Council, said as a
taxpayer in the Town of Lansing, she is very proud of services provided in Tompkins County. She said
she is willing to pay the taxes necessary to maintain the services County residents receive. She also spoke
about the elderly and said by 2015, the number of people aged 50 or over will be 29,000 in Tompkins
County (or 26.6 percent); people 55 and over will be 21.5 percent. She asked that these numbers be kept
in mind as future planning is considered.
Bob Skates, Tompkins County Human Rights Commission, appreciates the funding approved for
the Human Rights Department. He said as the previous speaker noted the average age of the population
374
November 12, 2002
in this area over the next 5-15 years will be increasing. He said the office deals not only with race
relations but also handles a variety of discrimination cases for the elderly, handicapped, employment, etc.
He feels if funding for this office is eliminated and the cases are handled in a State agency, it gives the
impression that there is no interest in people's rights locally. He said it takes a minimum of five years for
a case to be reviewed by the State.
Scott Crispell, dairy farmer and landowner in the Town of Caroline, said he owns approximately
500 acres and does not support the proposed property tax increase. The dairy business is a stressed
industry. He asked the Board to look at considering a decrease of 35 percent such as the ag business
people have had to deal with over the several years.
Russ Crispell, dairy farmer in the Town of Caroline, also spoke of his concern with the proposed
property tax increase. He loves being a farmer but feels he is being "choked out". In the past, he has seen
slower tax increases, which have been bearable, but said he cannot continue doing more with less. He
spoke of his concern that he will not be able to stay in business much longer with expenses he is incurring
and the tax increases being his biggest burden. He suggested the Board may want to look at an income
tax in place of property tax.
Bonnie Crispell Hargreaves, dairy farmer, noted that these are hard times and are felt the hardest
by farm families. She said she has talked to several farm families and how they are trying to survive and
keep afloat. The proposed property tax increase is "squeezing" dairy farmers to an impossible extreme.
Diminishing incomes and rising costs make if difficult for them to continue. She said her family is also
considering getting out of the farming business. She spoke about the County's health insurance program
and asked that programs such as that not continue at the same level. Also, parents should be required to
pay a fee for youth programs if their children wish to participate.
Joel Zumoff, City of Ithaca, said he is now retired and active with several volunteer organizations
in the community; he encouraged support for the community and that services provided be continued
including library, youth services, etc. The community as a whole is going to be a better place to live if the
funds are provided to support those organizations the community as a whole requires. He shared a
proposal to consider a graduated property tax rate. A person living in a $60,000 house should not be
paying the same tax rate as a person living in a $1.5 million house. For example, the first $100,000 for
everyone could be taxed at one rate, the next $300,000 at a higher rate, etc.
Theresa Lyczko, City of Ithaca resident and Director of Health Promotional Program, urged the
Board to support funding for the Health Department as it is currently presented. She described her
program and said it prevents chronic disease. She feels that if funding is reduced it could increase health
costs and Medicare costs in the future.
George Kennedy, Town of Ulysses and former chair of the Town Planning Board, feels there is
room for reduction in the Planning Department. He said he has not had very good experiences with the
Planning Department and asked that other municipalities be contacted to see if they are benefiting from
the Department.
No one else wished to speak and the public hearing was closed at 7:58 p.m.
375
November 19, 2002
Regular Meeting
Public Hearing - 2003 Tompkins County Budget and the 2003-2007 Tompkins County Capital
Program
Mr. Joseph called the public hearing to order at 5:30 p.m. concerning the 2003 Tompkins County
Budget and 2003-2007 Tompkins County Capital Program, and asked if anyone wished to speak.
Fay Gougakis, City of Ithaca, said she hasn't paid a great deal of attention to the County's budget
because she has been very involved with the City budget. She expressed concern over the proposed tax
increase and how it might impact local farmers. She spoke of expenses the County and City incur as a
result of Cornell University and Ithaca College, and said she believes those costs should be charged
directly to the college's to pay for services such as overtime in the police departments. Ms. Gougakis also
spoke in opposition of the City's elimination of the Prosecutor's Office as well as the position of Senior
Typist and asked that the Board urge the City to restore those two items.
Jim Rolfe, Deputy for the Tompkins County Sheriffs Office, spoke in opposition to the
elimination of a Deputy position in the proposed 2003 Tompkins County Budget. Mr. Rolfe said Michael
St. Angelo, Union President, was unable to attend the meeting and read the following letter for him on his
behalf.
"The County Board is considering that it is in the benefit of this County's residents and those who
travel within this County, to eliminate one Deputy Sheriff position for budgetary reasons. You all may
say that it is only one Deputy's position that is going to be eliminated, so it is therefore, reasonable and
acceptable. But it may be that one Deputy that stops that drunk driver from getting into an accident with
you or your loved ones. It may be that one Deputy that stops that suspicious person that was planning on
burglarizing your house, or it may be that Deputy that was not busy handling other complaints that comes
to your house in a timely fashion to help with any number of types of complaints that you may have.
That one Deputy may help the Sheriffs Office to be a proactive agency, preventing adverse things from
occurring instead of being a reactive agency which only responds to adverse things which have occurred.
That one deputy not only serves and protects you and your families, but also fellow law enforcement
officers who serve to protect you and your loved ones. So, please consider carefully how important that
one Deputy is."
Mr. Rolfe said January will mark the fifteenth anniversary of his employment with the Sheriffs
Department of which half was in the Jail and the other half on the road. He said in the last few years the
Department has managed to pull itself up from difficult times it had in the past, and urged the Board to
restore the Deputy position so that the Department can maintain itself and not move backwards.
George Kennedy, Town of Ulysses resident, congratulated the Board for reducing the proposed
property tax increase from 22 to 12.9 percent. He said the news media reported there were several
amendments that would be proposed this evening which have the potential to increase the budget. He
asked that if the Board adopts any of those increases, that it also adopt additional budget reductions to
offset any further increase in the tax rate.
Peter Meskill, Tompkins County Sheriff, reported he and John Beach, STOP -DWI Coordinator,
accompanied Deputy Dawn Caulkins to Albany today to attend the award recognition ceremony where
Ms. Caulkins was one of 14 law enforcement officers in New York State being honored for their DWI
work. Mr. Meskill urged the Board to reconsider restoring funding for the Deputy Sheriffs position that
was cut earlier in the budget process. Mr. Meskill said last year the Department lost positions of Deputy
and Clerk which has already led to a decrease in the Department's proactive work. Mr. Meskill said calls
for service continue to be on the rise, and the Department may not be able to utilize all of the grant
funding it has available because there is not adequate staff to carry out those duties. Mr. Meskill said the
Department's current budget along with the cuts that have been initiated to date are far more than the
376
November 19, 2002
County Administrator's recommendation. That recommendation was $75,000 and $68,000 for the cost of
one Deputy position. He said the Department has given back $265,000 in Rollover funds and reduced
permanent spending by $150,000 in automobiles. This is in addition to the reductions in overtime
spending, supplies, and equipment that were made prior to the Board receiving the budget. Mr. Meskill
provided statistics on staffmg at the Department and the number of square miles they are responsible for
serving. He compared his Department to the other law enforcement departments within the County,
demonstrating the Sheriffs Department is responsible to cover a larger number of square miles with less
staff than any other agency. He said the cut of another Deputy will have a real negative consequence in
any area of the Department's operations.
George Dentes, Tompkins County District Attorney, congratulated Dawn Caulkins and Sheriff
Meskill on the recognition that they received today. Mr. Dentes said Deputy Caulkins is a great asset to
the Tompkins County Sheriffs Department. Mr. Dentes spoke of the City's elimination of the City
Prosecutor's Office and asked that the Board change the District Attorney's budget to deal with that major
change. He said this action by the City may very likely increase the criminal caseload in the District
Attorney's Office by 45 percent which is the equivalent of approximately 900 cases per year. This does
not include the thousands of petit offenses and traffic violation matters. Mr. Dentes said these additional
cases place a tremendous clerical burden on the Office as well. Mr. Dentes asked that the Board begin
with the existing 2002 level of staffing and increase by the current .63 attorney to 1.0 and approve a new
clerical position.
Nancy Zahler, Director of the Tompkins County Youth Bureau, spoke of the proposed $300,000
funding cut that is being proposed by some members of the Board. She stated a cut of this magnitude
would likely mean a loss of youth services to approximately 3,000 youth in Tompkins County.
Tim Little, Deputy for the Tompkins County Sheriffs Department, urged the Board to restore the
proposed elimination of a Deputy position in. the Sheriffs Department. He said the Department has
already sustained substantial cuts during this budget process which poses a risk to both deputies and the
residents of this County.
No one else wished to speak. Mr. Joseph declared the public hearing closed at 5:56 p.m.
Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag and Roll Call of Members
Members and guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.
Present: 15 Representatives.
Privilege of the Floor by the Public
Fay Gougakis, City of Ithaca, spoke of the budget situation and said the overtime costs the City
has incurred as a result of the College's would more than pay for the clerical position that is being
proposed for elimination. She said she does not feel the College's are being held accountable to the
community.
Privilege of the Floor by Board Members
Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Representative, read the following resolution that was adopted by the
Tompkins County Farm Bureau at their annual meeting on October 23, 2002:
"Whereas, the projected property tax increase for Tompkins County for 2003 appears to be ten
percent or more, and
Whereas, even after the application of agricultural assessment to their farmland, farmers pay
more in taxes than they receive in services, and
377
November 19, 2002
Whereas, farmers, dairy farmers in particular, continue to subsidize the American public by
providing food for less than the true cost of production, and
Whereas, this has resulted in farm income which cannot bear the burden of the projected tax
increase, and
Whereas, it is a reality that some farm budgets are so tight that this projected property tax
increase would force the sale of the farm, and
Whereas, Tompkins County has made a commitment to protecting and preserving agriculture and
farmland, and
Whereas, agriculture and farmland do not exist without farmers, and
Whereas, most property taxpayers are in the same position as farmers and have not received a
salary increase that would cover a property tax increase of ten percent or more,
Be it resolved, that although it is recognized that the County Administrator and Legislature have
worked hard to make the difficult decisions necessary to reduce an earlier projected property tax increase
to the current projection, a ten percent or more increase cannot be absorbed by Tompkins County
taxpayers, farmers in particular. Tompkins County Farm Bureau urges all County legislators to continue
cutting the budget with a goal of a property tax increase more in line with the increase in the cost of
living."
Ms. Blanchard, District No. 1 Representative, reported the Municipal Electric and Gas Alliance
held its quarterly meeting last week. An annual report will be developed in the next couple of months that
will highlight all of the accomplishments of MEGA over the years. She alerted the Board and public that
this is the time to make a choice for an electric supplier. She said she has placed informational brochures
and sign-up applications in the Board Office. She said the number one priority of MEGA for the
upcoming months is going to be a very full -court press to get any municipalities who have not yet signed
up, to become a member. At this time there are eight counties who are members.
Ms. Kiefer, District No. 10 Representative, commented on Ms. Blanchard's report. She said she
does not feel the orange -colored mailings that were received by NYSEG provided enough information to
consumers to make a sensible choice. She said Tompkins Community Action held a meeting last
Saturday to which they invited the groups of whom customers are being asked to make a choice for
electricity. She said they will organize another informational meeting on Saturday, December 7t. Ms.
Kiefer said her opinion at this time is that MEGA appears to be a better bargain.
Ms. Robertson, District No. 13 Representative, said there has been a lot of discussion about the
relationship between county government and taxes, and State government and taxes, so she has been
doing research on the State income tax. She said according to the information she found on the State's
website, local residents have experienced a reduction in income taxes and people who are getting a refund
are getting more of a refund than they used to. The reduction in State income taxes is considerably
greater than the increase in local property taxes, at all income levels. However, she said medical costs
have gone up since that began happening which has resulted in increased Medicaid costs. Ms.
Robertson said she mentions this in an attempt to put the discussion and vote that will take place later on
the budget into context. She said the taxes have gone down at the federal and state level; however, the
mandates and the responsibilities haven't gone away and that is why we are faced with the kind of choice
the Board is dealing with this evening. She thanked the public for their patience and input during this
process. She also thanked County staff and in particular, Kathy Smithers, for the hard work during this
process.
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, District No. 11 Representative, reported last week the County hosted the
annual meeting of the Association of Local Human Rights Commissioners in New York State. He said
the County can be proud of the local office for its work.
Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Representative and Chair of the Water Resources Council, reported on
the storm -water run-off regulations and said yesterday at the Council meeting, gave Sharon Anderson,
Cayuga Lake Network Coordinator, permission to pull together several public meetings to discuss this.

Mr. Proto also reported the Council is currently reviewing a draft report from the subcommittee on jet
skis. This will be taken to the municipalities for discussion and review and brought to the Board
following that time.
Mrs. Schuler, District No. 4 Representative, reported she attended an Emergency Management
Plan meeting this afternoon and read from a news release. She stated the City of Ithaca has conveyed a
new Ithaca Weather Radio Transmitter to the National Weather Service. This weather station was a joint
effort involving the National Weather Service, Ithaca Fire Department, Ithaca College Park School of
Communication. With this new weather radio station, people will be warned automatically of threatening
weather situations and will be able to take action. She said this is a very valuable asset to Tompkins
County and the City and there will be a campaign from the Fire Department to obtain weather radios
which are available at most electronic stores.
Ms. McBean, District No. 2 Representative, reported two weeks ago she participated with six
other people from Ithaca in attending the FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Association) training
in Emmittsburg. She said it was extremely difficult but she was very proud to find that everything that
was discussed is already being done in Tompkins County to some extent. She said it demonstrated how
much farther ahead Tompkins County is than many other communities in the area of emergency
management preparedness, recovery, and mitigation.

Report from the Finance Director
Mr. Squires reported on the advancement of monies at the beginning of the year in anticipation of
State Transportation Operating Assistance (STOA) funding and said those funds have been completely
paid off as of today. Mr. Squires said that arrangement did not cost the County anything because TCAT

through the tenth month of the year the County is $1.6 million ahead of the budgeted amount. He
reported on health insurance rates for 2003 have been received and although it does not come as a
surprise, rates have increased by 12.9 percent. Mr. Squires also reported the County has joined the

Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Budget and Capital Committee
Mr. Penniman, Chairman, reported the Committee met last week and most of the business
conducted at that meeting is reflected on the agenda. There was also a discussion about what items
should be included on the property tax bill under the Mandate line. A proposal is being prepared by staff
and the Committee will discuss it at the next meeting. Mr. Penniman spoke of the process the Board has
been through during the past year. He said budget discussions for 2003 began last March when it was
announced that the County was facing a potential shortfall of $7 million, the equivalent of a 40 percent
tax increase. In response the Board immediately put some spending restrictions in place and asked
departments to find ways to save money in both current and future years. Mr. Penniman said the budget
process during the last several months has been exhaustive, and the Board has looked deeper and harder at
the budget and in many cases has cut programs that in most cases provide worthwhile services and are
valued by many people. During the month of October eight meetings of the Expanded Budget Committee
were held that totaled thirty hours at which over 130 actions were taken. Mr. Penniman expressed his
appreciation to both staff and Board members for the enormous amount of work that has been done this
year and said he is prepared to support the budget as long as major changes are not made this evening.
At this time Mr. Penniman distributed a preliminary analysis of the 2004 budget. He noted the
document contained many assumptions as well as many items that are known at this time. He said the
net projected tax increase for 2004 is estimated at 20 percent, assuming the County were to continue all of
the programs that are in the budget now. This includes all programs that are considered one-time as well
as those being paid for with one-time funds.
RESOLUTION NO. 281 - PRINTING OF TAX RATES

RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Capital Committee, That after the tax rates

Presentation of Resolutions from the Budget and Canital Committee
RESOLUTION NO. 286 - ADOPTION OF 2003 TOMPKINS COUNTY BUDGET
MOVED by Mr. Penniman, seconded by Mr. Booth.
2003 Budget Amendment No. 3 — Increase in Funding for City Prosecutions — D.A.
It was MOVED by Mr. Penniman, seconded by Mr. Lane, to approve the following amendment:
WHEREAS, the City of Ithaca has eliminated the City Prosecutor's Office from their 2003
Budget, and
WHEREAS, the District Attorney will assume the case load of the City Prosecutor, and
WHEREAS, the District Attorney will require additional staff to carry out this responsibility, now
therefore be it
390
November 19, 2002
RESOLVED, That Page 30 of the 2003 Proposed Budget, Line 85 "Total Appropriations" be
increased by $83,500 (Target), and
RESOLVED, further, That this amendment results in a .37 % increase in the Proposed 2003 Tax
Rate.
Mr. Penniman said this amendment would allow the District Attorney to add an additional
Assistant District Attorney to the staff which would bring the Office back to the 2002 level of staffing.
It was MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Ms. Blanchard, to amend the amendment to also
include clerical staff along with the Assistant District Attorney. The total appropriation amount would be
increased from $83,500 to $128,944.
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr spoke against the amendment. He said the District Attorney has been
handed a challenging task but he believes the level of cases could be absorbed by current staff and with an
additional paralegal.
Mr. Booth said he will support this amendment because of the additional responsibilities and
workload that has been placed on the District Attorney's Office.
Mr. Lane said if this were a normal budget year he does not believe the City would have made
this decision; however, the City has said this position is expendable and that it can live without a higher
level of service. He said he supports restoring the position that was cut in the District Attorney's Office;
however, that is all the County can afford to do at this time.
Ms. Blanchard said she feels this amendment is a good compromise and said the clerical support
to this office for these functions is extremely critical.
Mr. Joseph said the amount of this amendment ($128,944) is more than the City is saving by
eliminating the City Prosecutor's Office. He said he would prefer to offer the City $109,000 to keep the
responsibility rather than paying this amount for the County to assume the duties. Mrs. Schuler said she
would be uncomfortable with this approach because it would also mean laying off a County employee
rather than a City employee.
Ms. Robertson said she cannot support this amendment; she agrees with Mr. Joseph that it does
not make sense for the County to pay more for this service than the City would save. Although she
agrees the County needs to support the prosecution of these cases and the clerical work, she believes this
amount is too high.
Ms. Herrera said she is a City Representative and certainly wants to see prosecution of cases
within the City. She said she is not happy with the process that brought this responsibility to the County
and cannot support this resolution. She said although she understands the level of services will decrease,
she would like to see this figure at a lower amount.
A vote on the amendment to the amendment resulted as follows: Ayes - 8 (Representatives
Blanchard, Booth, Kiefer, Proto, Schuler, Todd, Totman, and Winch); Noes - 7 (Representatives Herrera,
Joseph, Koplinka-Loehr, Lane, McBean, Penniman, and Robertson). MOTION CARRIED.
It was MOVED by Mr. Lane, seconded by Ms. Robertson, to amend this amendment from
$128,944 to $100,000.
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr said the Expanded Budget Committee made a value decision to fund the
District Attorney's Office at a lower level in 2003 and receive less prosecutorial services based on that
decision. He said this amendment, in fact, is higher than what the District Attorney asked for to perform
391
November 19, 2002
this work. He said the District Attorney has requested a .37 Assistant District Attorney position and a
paralegal.
Mrs. Schuler said even if the City Prosecutor issue had not come before the Board she had
planned to make a motion to restore the District Attorney to the 2002 level.
Ms. Kiefer said she offered her amendment on the premise that there was already a cut of an
Assistant District Attorney position in the proposed 2003 budget. She said it does not restore the District
Attorney to the 2002 level; it only addresses the need to cover the responsibilities of the City Prosecutor's
Office. She believes it is unrealistic to add less than one Assistant District Attorney and one clerical
position to cover these additional responsibilities.
A voice vote on the amendment to the amendment resulted as follows: Ayes - 5 (Representatives
Joseph, Koplinka-Loehr, Lane, Penniman, and Robertson); Noes - 10 (Representatives Blanchard, Booth,
Herrera, Kiefer, McBean, Proto, Schuler, Todd, Totman, and Winch). MOTION FAILED.
It was MOVED by Ms. McBean, seconded by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, to amend the amendment,
from $128,944 to $91,824 which she expects to cover a part-time Assistant District Attorney, a full-time
Paralegal, office supplies and equipment.
Mr. Lane said all agencies and departments have been asked to take cuts and does not believe the
Board should be considering restoring this to the 2002 level.
Mr. Todd said the Board needs to address the significant increase in the District Attorney's
workload that is a result of this action by the City.
A voice vote on the amendment to the amendment resulted as follows: Ayes - 7 (Representatives
Herrera, Joseph, Koplinka-Loehr, Lane, McBean, Penniman, and Robertson); Noes - 8 (Representatives
Blanchard, Booth, Kiefer, Proto, Schuler, Todd, Totman, and Winch). MOTION FAILED.
It was MOVED by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, seconded by Ms. Robertson, to amendment the
amendment from $128,944 to $102,308. Mr. Koplinka-Loehr said this amendment begins at the level
recommended by the Public Safety Committee in addition to the figure provided by the District Attorney
as to what it would cost to handle the additional caseload. A vote on the amendment to the amendment
resulted as follows: Ayes - 7 (Representatives Herrera, Joseph, Koplinka-Loehr, McBean, Lane,
Penniman, and Robertson); Noes - 8 (Representatives Blanchard, Booth, Kiefer, Proto, Schuler, Todd,
Totman, and Winch). MOTION FAILED.
A vote on the original motion as amended resulted as follows: Ayes - 9 (Representatives
Blanchard, Booth, Kiefer, Penniman, Proto, Schuler, Todd, Totman, and Winch); Noes - 6
(Representatives Herrera, Joseph, Koplinka-Loehr, Lane, McBean, and Robertson). MOTION
CARRIED.
2003 Budget Amendment No. 4 — Increase in Funding for Deputy Sheriff
It was MOVED by Mr. Proto, seconded by Mr. Totman, to approve the following amendment:
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Sheriff's Department is the principal law enforcement and
protection agency upon which residents rely, and
WHEREAS, the majority of the territory covered by the Sheriff's Department is in rural areas,
and
WHEREAS, incidents throughout the County have increased, including, but not limited to traffic
violations, domestic abuse situations, and other emergency calls, now therefore be it
392
November 19, 2002
RESOLVED, That Page 20, Line 120 of the 2003 Proposed Budget be amended from $485,000 to
$551,772 restoring the funding for one deputy sheriff, and
RESOLVED, further, That this amendment results in a .3% increase in the Proposed 2003 Tax
Rate.
A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 5 (Representatives Blanchard, Proto, Schuler, Todd, and
Totman); Noes - 10. MOTION FAILED.
2003 Budget Amendment No. 5 — Restore Funding for OAR Communication System
It was MOVED by Mrs. Schuler, seconded by Ms. Kiefer, to approve the following amendment:
WHEREAS, Offender Aid and Restoration has requested funding for a telephone communication
system, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, That Page 29, Line 75 be funded for $3,500 on a one-time basis for 2003, and
RESOLVED, further, That this amendment results in no change to the Proposed 2003 Tax Rate.
Mrs. Schuler said that is about half the system cost estimate for the replacement system and that
OAR will fundraise for the rest.
It was MOVED by Ms. Blanchard to amend the amendment with the addition of following
wording: "That $3,500 be placed in the Contingent Fund subject to matching funds being raised by the
organization which will provide them with the voice mail system". MOTION FAILED DUE TO LACK
OF A SECOND.
There was a discussion about the cuts this agency has already sustained. Mr. Lane said there are
places where the Board would like to restore funding; however, he feels if this is approved it will be
unfair to other departments and agencies that have been asked to take cuts. Mr. Koplinka-Loehr said this
agency has taken a very large cut in comparison to other agencies and feels this is only a modest
restoration towards the level that other agencies were cut. Mr. Proto expressed concern with trying to
match one agency with another in terms of budget reductions.
A voice vote on the amendment resulted as follows: Ayes - 8 (Representatives Herrera, Kiefer,
Joseph, Koplinka-Loehr, McBean, Penniman, Robertson, and Schuler); Noes - 7 (Representatives
Blanchard, Booth, Proto, Lane, Todd, Totman, and Winch). MOTION CARRIED.
2003 Budget Amendment No. 6 — Reallocation of Funds -- Domestic Violence Program
It was MOVED by Ms. Blanchard, seconded by Ms. McBean, to approve the following
amendment:
WHEREAS, Page 31, Line 102, calls for the appropriation of $46,217 in Local Tax dollars for the
funding of a Domestic Violence Prevention Coordinator, and
WHEREAS, the Public Safety Committee is actively looking at alternative solutions to meet the
needs of the community relative to domestic abuse, DWI, and general criminal justice activities, now
therefore be it
RESOLVED, That OTR No. 102 be eliminated, and
RESOLVED, further, That the 2003 Contingent Fund be increased by $46,000 until such time as
a program plan be established, and
RESOLVED, further, That there is no impact on the 2003 Proposed Tax Rate as the result of this
amendment.
393
November 19, 2002
Ms. Herrera said she feels this amendment weakens the program that is currently in place. She
said the County currently has a program that is recognized across New York State and has won awards.
Ms. Herrera said this program serves a vital purpose at all levels of the community and urged Board
members to oppose this amendment.
Ms. Blanchard said the Public Safety Committee is looking at various solutions to meet the needs
for domestic violence prevention and STOP -DWI services. She said placing this money into the
Contingent Fund until the full Board can make a decision on how to meet those needs is her intent for
offering this amendment.
Mr. Penniman said he will support the motion because in the last few weeks he has heard
discussions that the functions of the Domestic Violence Coordinator could be organized into a less than
full-time position and understands that is being looked at.
Ms. Kiefer said she does not support placing these funds into contingency because she feels that
places a deadline on having reorganization completed. She said she would rather see the position
continue and also have the Public Safety Committee take the time that is necessary to look at the
reconfiguration.
Mr. Joseph said he supports the rationale for this amendment and that there are a lot of
discussions taking place surrounding this position and a decision has not yet been made. However, he has
been convinced that leaving it alone preserves the Boards' options as much as this amendment does so he
will not support the amendment.
Ms. Robertson said the difference between leaving the position alone and adopting this
amendment is that if this is approved the Boards' options would remain open only through the end of the
year.
A voice vote on the amendment resulted as follows: Ayes - 9 (Representatives Blanchard, Booth,
Lane, Koplinka-Loehr, Penniman, Proto, Todd, Totman, and Winch); Noes - 6 (Representatives Herrera,
Joseph, Kiefer, McBean, Robertson, and Schuler). MOTION CARRIED.
Recess
Mr. Joseph declared recess from 7:52 p.m. to 8:09 p.m.
2003 Budset Amendment No. 9 — Reduce Funding - Alternatives to Incarceration Initiatives
It was MOVED by Mr. Winch, seconded by Mr. Proto, to approve the following amendment:
RESOLVED, That Page 31, funding for the Day Treatment Center on Lines 104 through 106 be
eliminated resulting in a savings of $166,531, and
RESOLVED, further, That Page 31, funding for Family and Felony Drug Courts, Lines 109, 111,
112, 113, and 114 be reduced by $33,469, resulting in a total program reduction of $200,000, and
RESOLVED, further, That this amendment results in a $200,000 increase in available surplus
funds for use in the 2003 budget and a 5.3 percent increase in the tax rate.
At this time Mr. Joseph asked Vice Chair Lane to take the podium and temporarily Chair the
meeting to allow him to make personal statements from the floor.
Mr. Joseph said when the Board decided to implement these programs it did so after two years of
studying, discussing, and planning. While this was being done the Board understood it had a choice: to
either expand the Jail or try a set of programs that were aimed at reform, rehabilitation, and restoration.
Mr. Joseph said earlier this year the Board voted unanimously to ask the State for a two-year trial to see if
394
November 19, 2002
these programs would prove themselves worthy and make Jail expansion unnecessary. Since that time the
Jail population has dropped significantly and the judges who use the programs have declared their support
for them as well as their belief in their effectiveness. The program participants who have graduated have
provided testimony about how the programs have changed their lives, and two internal evaluations have
indicated positive results. Mr. Joseph said neither he, nor any of the people who have supported these
programs, have yet declared these programs are a success because even though indications are promising,
the timing has been too short. Mr. Joseph said in recent months some Board members and public have
declared that these programs are a waste of money and should be terminated. He stressed that the
decision to implement alternative -to -incarceration programs was an either/or situation and if the Board
were not to have these programs, it would have to move forward with an expansion of the Jail. He said if
someone has concluded that the reform and restoration approach does not work and the County needs a
Jail expansion then Board should debate that issue.
The following amendment to the amendment was MOVED by Mr. Joseph, seconded by Mr.
Koplinka-Loehr:
Additional third and fourth Resolved: "Resolved, further, That the Capital Project, Public Safety
Building Restoration, be increased from $5 million to $15 million to provide for the expansion of the Jail,
Resolved, further, That debt service of $1,162,500 be added to the budget,"
Addition to the final Resolved: "and a 5.3 percent increase in the tax rate"
Mr. Joseph said he believes these additions are the necessary result of making the cuts that have
been proposed. He said in making these cuts, a commitment is being made to Jail expansion.
Mr. Proto said he finds Mr. Joseph's reaction to the motion offensive, and said he does not believe
the motion on the floor "zeros out" the programs and does not believe adding to the Capital Program is an
appropriate alternative to the motion on the floor. Mr. Proto asked that Mr. Joseph do a study to
determine the impact and effectiveness of the alternative -to -incarceration programs, including cross-
referencing what other agencies and programs these individuals are utilizing. He suggested instead of
making these target increases, they be made one-year increases so that the County can perform the type of
review that has been suggested.
Ms. McBean said she is a proponent of what works and could probably make the same argument
about whether or not the Jail is working and is the County evaluating whether the Jail is working in terms
of rehabilitation. She said if there is not an alternative to incarceration, these individuals would have been
sentenced to the Jail.
Mr. Joseph said his reaction to this proposal is an honest one and is based on his belief that while
cutting $200,000 out of these programs does not eliminate them, it ensures that they will not succeed. He
believes if the Board is going to take a step that drastic, then it also has to face the consequences. Mr.
Joseph said these programs were put in place in an attempt to avoid Jail expansion and if they are cut this
deeply the County will not avoid Jail expansion.
Mr. Booth said at the beginning of the budget process he was in favor of a deeper cut in the
alternative to incarceration programs than the cut that has already been made. In particular, he favored a
more substantial cut to the Felony Drug Court, which he is not convinced is effective. However, he
agreed that the Board has made a significant compromise and is willing to stand by that decision. Mr.
Booth said the Board has not arrived at a point where it has enough information to debate constructing a
$15 million Jail.
Mr. Winch said through this process many Board members have made suggestions for proposals.
He said he believes the amendment to the original motion has nothing to do with the motion and is
unhappy that Chairman Joseph has taken the position he has on this issue.
395
November 19, 2002
Ms. Kiefer said she appreciates Chairman Joseph stepping down so the Board could hear his
impassioned analysis. She said it made clear his position on the amendment. She said she will not
support the amendment or the amendment to the amendment.
Mr. Penniman said he has been convinced to support the alternative -to -incarceration programs
because the Board is now beginning to see some indications of success. He said he is inclined to support
the amendment to the amendment because he believes it is relevant and believes if this deep of a cut is
made to the alternative -to -incarceration programs the Jail expansion project would need to move up more
quickly in the Capital Program.
Ms. Blanchard spoke to the discussion taking place on the amendment and asked that it not
continue as it is setting up a dialogue containing a great deal of tension. She said the County cannot avoid
doing something at the Jail but cannot predict what will need to be done at this time. She said it was only
this evening that the Board approved a contract with a firm to help the County decide what will be
necessary. Ms. Blanchard said she will not support the amendment or the amendment to the amendment.
A voice vote on the amendment to the amendment resulted as follows: Ayes - 6 (Representatives
Herrera, Joseph, Koplinlca-Loehr, Penniman, Robertson, and Schuler); Noes - 9 (Representatives
Blanchard, Booth, Kiefer, Lane, McBean, Proto, Todd, Totman, and Winch). MOTION FAILED.
A voice vote on the original amendment resulted as follows: Ayes - 4 (Representatives Proto,
Todd, Totman, and Winch); Noes - 11 (Representatives Blanchard, Booth, Herrera, Joseph, Kiefer,
Koplinka-Loehr, Lane, McBean, Penniman, Robertson, and Schuler). MOTION FAILED.
At this time Mr. Joseph returned to the podium.
2003 Budget Amendment No. 8 — Reduce Base Funding - SPCA
It was MOVED by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, seconded by Ms. Herrera, to approve the following
amendment:
RESOLVED, That Page 27, Line 31 "new" be further reduced by $12,856 making the total 2003
Funding for the SPCA $16,070, a 60% reduction from 2002,
RESOLVED, further, That this amendments results in a .06% decrease in the Proposed 2003
Property Tax Rate. Mr. Lane said he hopes this amendment will not pass this evening. He stated the
SPCA does a great job for the County and is concerned about what will happen with the cat situation in
the County and believes the SPCA should continue to be funded at the level currently approved.
Ms. Herrera said she will support this amendment because the tax rate needs to be brought down.
She said there has been a lot of mention of fundraising and feels this is a perfect opportunity for that.
Ms. Robertson said she will regretfully support this amendment because the tax rate needs to be
brought to a lower level.
A voice vote on the amendment resulted as follows: Ayes - 9 (Representatives Booth, Herrera,
Joseph, Koplinka-Loehr, McBean Robertson, Todd, and Winch); Noes - 6 (Representatives Blanchard,
Kiefer, Lane, Proto, Schuler, and Totman). MOTION CARRIED.
2003 Budget Amendment No. 17 — Reduce Funding for Bridge Program
It was MOVED by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Ms. Herrera to approve the following
amendment:
396
November 19, 2002
WHEREAS, Page 21, Program 5005 was approved in the 2002 Budget at $655,500, and
WHEREAS, the 2003 Proposed Budget includes an increase of $15,000, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the Bridges Program 5005 be reduced by $15,000 to the 2002 Adopted level,
RESOLVED, further, That this amendment results in .067% decrease in the 2003 Proposed
Property Tax Rate.
Ms. Robertson said this amendment would take the bridge funding to the 2002 level. She said
she was unable to reach staff at the Highway Division prior to the meeting this evening; however, she did
consult with the County Administrator. Ms. Blanchard said she does agree with the calculations Ms.
Robertson has arrived at. She said the actual amount that was in the bridge program in the year 2000 was
$835,000; the actual amount in 2001 was $628,000; and in 2002 it was $959,000 and dropped down to
$545,500 in 2003. She said the department requested an additional $135,000 for the bridge programs in
an Over -Target Request that was returned back to the General Fund. Mrs. Smithers clarified the
discrepancy in figures, stating Ms. Blanchard was referring to the Modified Budget and Ms. Robertson
was referring to the Adopted Budget. Mrs. Smithers said the budget was likely modified to a higher
amount because there was a bridge project and they had federal or state funding that was received which
would allow them to increase the amount of their spending. She said generally, the amount that is
adopted in the bridge program is never the Actual budget amount.
Ms. Robertson said she would still like to move forward with this amendment. She said this
Department has a total budget of $3.9 million and would like to see a decrease of $15,000.
It was MOVED by Mr. Proto, seconded by Mr. Totman, to Call the Question. A voice vote on
the motion to call the question resulted as follows: Ayes - 14, Noes - 1 (Representative Robertson).
MOTION CARRIED.
A voice vote on the amendment resulted as follows: Ayes - 3 (Representatives Herrera,
Koplinka-Loehr, and Robertson); Noes - 12. MOTION FAILED.

(Representatives Proto, Todd, and Totman); Noes - 12. MOTION FAILED.

No further amendments were offered. Ms. Smithers said the estimated property tax rate increase,
reflecting the actions taken this evening, is 13.44 percent.
Mr. Lane said this year's budget process has been enormous. He said Board members have spent
many long hours taking a serious look at the County's budget. There have been many genuine differences
of opinion and this Board has done its best to meet the needs of the taxpayers and those who receive
services. He said this is not the perfect budget and expects the 2004 budget to be even worse because the
State continues to place the burden on the local property tax. Mr. Lane extended his appreciation for all
of the hard work done by department heads, agency directors, advisory boards, County Finance Director,
County Administrator, and Deputy County Administrator during this lengthy process.
A roll call vote on the 2003 Tompkins County Budget as amended resulted as follows: Ayes - 10

Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Public Safety Committee
Mrs. Schuler, Chair, reported the Committee met on November 7 and most of the business is
reflected on the agenda. The Sheriff reported on the award presented to Deputy Caulkins, fleet
maintenance of vehicles, and the Jail Transition pilot program. Sheriff Meskill also announced the
County Jail was granted a variance for increased population through March, 2003. Mr. Shurtleff, Director
of Emergency Response, presented the Committee with a resolution reorganizing the E911 Operations
Committee, which will be forwarded to the full Board. Mrs. Schuler said the Committee had a very
lengthy discussion about the elimination of the City Prosecutor position and the impact on the District
Attorney's Office. John Beach, STOP -DWI Coordinator, informed the Committee that the graduated
licensing legislation was passed and takes effect September, 2003.
RESOLUTION NO. 291 - AUTHORIZATION FOR EARLY RETIREMENT — PROBATION
DEPARTMENT
MOVED by Mrs. Schuler, seconded by Mr. Proto. Mr. Proto requested that these resolutions
always include the position titles. Ms. Kiefer said instead of including a departmental savings plan there
is only a broad statement that savings will be achieved through aggregate savings Countywide. She said
the specific savings plan is missing from some of these resolutions and until the County's Fiscal Policy is
changed to give this alternative interpretation she does not feel the Board should approve the resolution as
it is currently worded. Ms. Kiefer said nonetheless she will support the retirement; however, she would
like to see a plan containing specific details for the savings the department will achieve included in the
resolution. Mr. Whicher said the direction he received from the Government Operations Committee was
that he can when necessary this year be taking a broad interpretation of the existing Fiscal Policy, which
would then allow this language. He said it was the consensus of the Committee that it was not necessary
to have a change made to the Fiscal Policy first; it was matter of interpretation of the existing policy. Ms.
Kiefer disagreed with this interpretation. A voice vote on the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes - 15,
Noes - 0. RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Board of Representatives authorized participation in the 2002
Early Retirement Incentive Program, and
WHEREAS, the following employee is eligible and has voluntarily chosen to retire during the

WHEREAS, a savings plan as required by the New York State Retirement System has been
submitted showing the required savings will be achieved through aggregate savings in the County's 2003
budget, and
WHEREAS, such plan has been reviewed and recommended by the County Administrator, now
therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Public Safety Committee, That this employee be
authorized to retire under the terms of the 2002 Early Retirement Incentive Program,
RESOLVED, further, That the fiscal target adjustment will be made in one blanket resolution
later this year for all those approved for the Early Retirement option.

law because other counties are doing it based on an erroneous interpretation of law by the State Real
Property Tax Office. He said he does not believe it is a good practice to adopt local laws if they are not
necessary. Mr. Koplinka-Loehr said a resolution will be prepared and presented at the next Board
meeting. Mr. Koplinka-Loehr withdrew his motion, as did Ms. Herrera. RESOLUTION
WITHDRAWN.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Economic and Workforce Development
Committee
Mr. Lane, Chairman, reported the Committee met on November 14. He highlighted areas of the

been held with COMAIR to discuss the possibility of service to Ithaca; meetings with a local company
have been held in regard to an expansion on a warehouse distribution network valued at over $1 million;
a local food production company is considering moving its production facility to a larger location in
Tompkins County; and there was discussion about what is happening with Energy East and NYSEG and
how it may impact the local economy. The Committee also received a report from the Convention and
Visitors Bureau on trying to bring people to Tompkins County by making tourism packages that include
items such as theatres, eating establishments, and the downtown attractions. Mr. Lane said 20,000
brochures have been widely distributed to areas inviting people to come to Tompkins County.

Building Committee meeting on December 6 at 1 p.m. to review the concept and authorize the final
documents so the project can be put out to bid. Ms. Blanchard also reported the website that deals with
various public safety communications projects has been updated with current information. She said a
resolution will be brought to the Board in the near future that will allow them to acquire the consoles for
the electronic equipment that needs to go into the E911 center in order to make that center operational and
while a long-term plan is worked out. Ms. Blanchard reported she and other representatives attended a
meeting in the Town of Dryden to meet with citizens to discuss the various sites that are under
consideration for the Department of Transportation Relocation Project. She said it was a very good
meeting and was impressed by the questions that were posed and the manner in which representatives
were treated.

Adjournment
On motion the meeting adjourned at 10:16 p.m.
December 3, 2002
Regular Meeting
Public Hearing - Proposed Local Law No. 11 of 2002 - A Local Law Authorizing Pesticide Neighbor
Notification
Mr. Joseph called the public hearing to order at 5:30 p.m. concerning proposed Local Law No. 11
of 2002 - A Local Law Authorizing Pesticide Neighbor Notification, and asked if anyone wished to
speak.
Susan Brock, Chair of the Environmental Management Council (EMC), spoke in favor the law
and said that the EMC had passed a resolution recommending the County opt in to this law. She offered
assistance from members of the EMC to educate both the public and business owners in the scope of this
law.
Carolyn Eberhard, Brooktondale, spoke in favor of the law, stating that she feels pesticides are
detrimental to individual health, now and in the future. She provided statistical information on the
environmental effects pesticides cause, including hormone disruptors that can mutate reproductive organs
of various vertebrae species. Ms. Eberhard submitted the following statement:
"Reasons for concern
• 25 million acres of lawn - the single largest crop in the US (C&E News May 4, 1998 p 88)
• lawn pesticide application rate 2x that of agricultural crops
• Pesticides are getting into the water supply (.4ppb in rainwater) (SN Nov. 2, 2002 p 275)
Safety and testing
• Jay J. Vroom of CropLife America... "claims concerning links between pesticides and children's
health will never be anything other than speculation, innuendo and in some cases bold-faced
lies..." (C&EN Nov 4, 2002, p3). This position dismisses current and future research and is no
longer tenable.
• REGISTRATION of pesticide and proper application is not a guarantee of safety (e.g.
chlorpyrifos)
• Food Quality Protection Act 1996 requires TOTAL RISK assessment from all sources (food,
water, air, etc.) - e.g. estimated 10% of the Total Risk from lawn and garden care.
• Testing for ENVIRONMENTAL HORMONE DISRUPTERS is just getting underway
• INERT INGREDIENTS make up as much as 99+% of some products, but are not tested for
safety
• BREAKDOWN PRODUCTS may be quite toxic themselves (Pehkonen J. Ag. Food Chem. Feb
18, 199) diethyl disulfide, H2S, formaldehyde
• SYNERGISM is not taken into account for most products
e.g. atrazine and metolachor each slowed tadpole metamorphosis only a little but together caused
metamorphosis to slow from 60 days to 70 days (Oct. 2002 symposium, SN Nov. 2, 2002 p 275)
Environmental hormone disruptors
• Our Stolen Future (Theo Colborn et al., 1996) called attention to the problem that some of the
chemicals be released into the environment interfere with the hormone systems of vertebrate
animals
• altrazine is a widely used registered herbicide whose US registration may now be called into
question because in depth research shows it is an environmental hormone disrupter:
it has been shown to turn lab frog males into hermaphrodites (0.1 ppb) and to also do this in wild
leopard frogs and Pacific tree frogs (SN Nov. 2, 2002 p 275)
changes 30% of mangrove killfish (natural hermaphrodites) into females (15/33 ppm as
hatchlings) (SN Nov. 9, 2002 p 302)
Mechanism: stimulates the enzyme aromatase that converts testosterone to estrogen
• organophosphate pesticides (fenitrothion, parathion, chlorothion, linuron, ruelene)
Mechanism: all attached to androgen receptor (SN Nov. 9, 2002 p. 302)
765
December 3, 2002
• human sperm counts have been found to be declining in many studies
Comparison of sperm counts in RURAL vs. URBAN environments found
rural sperm motality 56-70% of urban motality
rural sperm number 57-72% of urban sperm numbers
(SN Nov. 23, 2002 p 333)
Precautionary Principle
"When an activity raises threats of harm to human health or the environment, precautionary
measures should be taken even if some cause and effect relationships are not fully established
scientificallu" (Wingspread Conference, Racine Wis. 1998) It is the law in Germany and Sweden.
• Does NOT require that we suspend all progress until we have definite proof of safety
• Does suggest a conservative approach to problem areas of concern
• Does incorporate new information as it becomes available
• Does require us to revisit problems in the light of new information
e.g. lead, asbestos, tobacco and chlorpyrifo (banned June 2000)
I strongly urge the Board to take steps towards making our home a little safer by voting to adopt the New
York State Pesticide Neighbor Notification Law."
Don Burton, a member of the New York State Lawn Care Association, spoke against opting in to
the Local Law at this time. He feels it would be wise to consider the issue in more detail and confirm
information related to the law. Mr. Burton compared a well-known flea and tick product used on animals
and the same chemical compounds in a lawn pesticide. He said that the animal product was a higher
concentration and had a warning, yet individuals do not hesitate to use the product; the same compounds
in a formula with less active ingredient would require businesses to notify neighbors.
John Andersson, Environmental Health Director of the Tompkins County Environmental Health
Department, expressed concern about the implementation of the Neighbor Notification Law. He said this
law's enforcement would not receive any State aid, nor be enforced by the Department of Environmental
Conservation. Mr. Andersson said enforcement of the law would reduce time spent on other aspects of
the Environmental Health Department and that it could potentially require staff from several departments.
He said no lead agency had been designated at this time, and there is no funding or directives available for
training staff with regard to the law. He said if it is adopted, the Department will do it, but will have to
set priorities.
Tony DelPlato, member of the Midstate Labor Coalition and local restauranteur, spoke in favor of
the law. He feels the law may assist in seeking out alternative non-toxic methods of pesticide control.
Mr. DelPlato also said he has spoken to A Suffolk County lawn care company where the law exists and
that there has been little problems other than paperwork. He would like to encourage people to use non -
chemical methods of dealing with pesticides and weeds.
Ben Tevelin, Environmental Advocate for New York Public Information Research Group and
Town of Caroline resident, spoke in favor of the law, saying that in areas it has been implemented many
business owners have found non-toxic or organic methods to use as pesticides. He does not feel the
registry is a viable option and also said that Department of Environmental Conservation will assist with
the implementation of the law.
Jeff Cox, member of the Environmental Management Council Pesticide Committee, spoke in
favor of the law. He said implementation at this time may lead to a snowball effect, much the same as
with the tobacco industry. Mr. Cox said that a review of other counties that have implemented the law
indicates that there may be only approximately ten calls or complaints per year. He expressed concern for
possible long-term health hazards of pesticides and noted that although the government may pull them
from the market it cannot be viewed that all are still safe.
766
December 3, 2002
Tim Foss of Agway Lawn care, said he has been an applicator of pesticides for twenty-five years.
He said he did not have a problem with notifying individuals in advance of application, however, felt that
to be required to notify up to one thousand individuals would be both time-consuming and costly, and
increase the cost to the consumers. Mr. Foss also was concerned that given the notification requirement
he may not have time to treat weeds.
Steve Nicholson, Chair of the Education and Pesticide Committees of the Environmental
Management Council, thanked the Board for their commendable work on the 2003 budget. He spoke in
favor of the Neighbor Notification Law Noting that human breast milk still contains traces of DDT. He
said the highest increase in the budget was in health care costs and this would perhaps reduce future
health care needs.
Herbert Engman, Town of Ithaca resident, spoke in favor of the Neighbor Notification Law. He
trusts John Andersson and his staff to do a good job. He feels education is a necessary part of the process
and as a landowner it is his right to know what products may drift onto his property.
Bob Riter, Associate Director of the Ithaca Breast Cancer Alliance, spoke in favor of Neighbor
Notification Law, saying people should be given the right to be notified and take appropriate steps to
protect themselves from a potential hazard.
John Knutson, of Green Thumb Lawn Care in Schenectady, spoke against the Neighbor
Notification Law. He said he has worked with this law in his area and has found what he considers
problems. He said the requirements of the law constrict his ability to work around individual schedules if
a particular time is not good to apply the pesticides. He feels that he desires honoring the wishes of others
to be notified but the needs of the contractor need to be honored as well. He said if a voluntary registry
doesn't work, then try this terrible law.
Alice Cole, Public Health Director, said she was asked by the Board of Health to speak. She said
she does not deny the adverse health effects of pesticide use, but requested a delay to discuss the issue at
their January or February meeting.
Brian Eden, Town of Lansing resident, spoke in favor of the Neighbor Notification Law. He said
many changes were made from the original law so that it now exempts granular and many that use a great
deal of pesticides. He feels that the law is important as it provides individuals the opportunity to avoid
unwanted exposure.
Lin Davidson, Town of Lansing resident and a certified applicator, spoke against the Neighbor
Notification Law, stating that until more facts were available indicating the risks that education and
minimizing exposure is the key. He feels that a registry would provide applicators the ability to honor
notifying those desiring the information. He said Monroe, Erie, and Onondaga counties are waiting and
not acting on this.
Andrew Boerman, Owner of Ithaca Agway, spoke against the Neighbor Notification Law,
indicating he feels the training and sensitivity required of those applying the chemicals is an important
factor to take into consideration. Mr. Boerman spoke of the extensive training and continual education
and notification that presently occurs within his business. He said that long-term customers would not
require as extensive application of products and that the law would hinder the timeliness of applications
for weed control.
Robert Sweet, former Professor of Agriculture and Life Sciences and resident of Town of Ithaca,
spoke against the Neighbor Notification Law, stating that in his forty years of research and extension
experience on weed control in vegetables he had not seen individuals spray during windy conditions.
There is a wide range of opinion on safety and he trusts the regulators. He feels that a shift to granular
use may occur which would be more exposure risk than spraying.
767
December 3, 2002
Victoria Jordan, Tompkins County Green Party and a Brooktondale resident, spoke in favor of the
Neighbor Notification Law and said we all live with risks and the law is a small step toward the right
direction to eliminate risks we have control over.
Joyce Gerbasi, Town of Dryden resident and member of the Environmental Management
Council's Pesticide Committee, spoke in favor of the Neighbor Notification Law. She informed the Board
the issue of locating an address database for notifying neighbors is easily resolved by a relatively easy
procedure at the Assessment Department. Ms. Gerbasi also reinforced that members of the EMC are
ready and willing to assist in any way possible.
Monika Roth of Cornell Cooperative Extension said that the educational organization of
Cooperative Extension would help with the educational aspect of pesticide application. She reminded
Board members of the survey done last year that indicated a very limited number of purveyors that would
be affected if the law were passed and that relatively low amounts of pesticides are applied per capita in
Tompkins County. She expressed the opinion that the decision to be made by the Board was if they felt
the consumers had the right to know then the resources bear the risk of implementation of the law.
Erin Riddle, City of Ithaca resident and Chair of the Finger Lakes Sierra Club, spoke in favor of
the Neighbor Notification Law. She said that she had completed research to be informed on the issue and
feels that it is worth the paperwork involved to assist in saving lives in the future.
Andrew Boerman, owner of Ithaca Agway, spoke in response to Ms. Riddle and others comments
regarding paperwork. He said it is not the paperwork that he has a problem with, but rather the fact that
the law is not well written and does not address appropriate issues such as the amount of pesticides used.
No one else wished to speak and Mr. Joseph declared the public hearing closed at 6:39 p.m.
Public Hearing - Proposed Leasing of Space in the Passenger Terminal at the Ithaca Tompkins
Regional Airport to the Transportation Security Administration.
Mr. Joseph called the public hearing to order at 6:40 p.m. concerning the proposed Leasing of
Space in the Passenger Terminal at the Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport to the Transportation Security
Administration, and asked if anyone wished to speak.
No one wished to speak. Mr. Joseph declared the public hearing closed at 6:40 p.m.
Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag and Roll Call of Members
Members and guests participated in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.
Present: 13 Representatives. Excused: 2 (Representatives Blanchard and Penniman).
Privilege of the Floor by the Public
No one wished to speak.
Privilege of the Floor by Board Members
Ms. Kiefer, District No. 10 Representative, said with regard to the Neighbor Notification Law and
comments made about granular application, it needs to be noted that there are uses for which one cannot
substitute a granular product, for example when spraying trees. She also said that ordinarily she would be
sympathetic with the request of the Board of Health to delay any action on this law until they had an
opportunity to discuss it further; however, she feels that the issue has been before us for a lengthy period.
She recalled that this item had already been on the Board of Health agenda and while unfortunate, an
768
December 3, 2002
adequate lapse of time has occurred. Ms. Kiefer said with regard to the article in the Ithaca Journal and
the Department of Environmental Conservation's part in pesticide applications, if a pesticide is applied
contrary to the labeled instructions then the Department of Environmental Conservation steps in and deals
with the violation. She then said that while Ms. Roth shared information on surveys that there are other
purveyors from outside the County that would be involved as well in the education process. Ms. Kiefer
referred to the statements made by Ms. Roth regarding the difference between liquid and granular
pesticides and comparing them per capita. Ms. Kiefer feels that that is not the most appropriate way to
view the comparison since pesticides are not applied per capita and that the application is concentrated in
a particular area.
Mrs. Schuler, District No. 4 Representative, reported that November 23, 2002, was National
Adoption Day and spoke of adoptions fmalized in the Old Courthouse on that date. She said the room
was full of smiling children and adults as well as teddy bears that were handed out to the children and
their new siblings. She thanked all involved for the hard work done that provided such a happy
experience to all.
Ms. Robertson, District No. 13 Representative, commented that Mr. Andersson had not
mentioned he had estimated the cost at $7,000 for the Neighbor Notification Law. Next, she said at the
Human Services Coalition meeting several weeks ago, the Merrill Shippard Flexible Fund awards from
the United Way were awarded. There were eight grants ranging from $1,800 to $23,000. Ms. Robertson
said many agencies are seeking new areas of funding as a result of the reductions in local funding and the
requests are much greater than the funds available. The Human Services Coalition holiday gathering will
be on Monday, December 9, 2002, from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and all are encouraged to attend. The
annual meeting of the Health Planning Council will take place on Wednesday, December 11, 2002, from
3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.. that will deal with the topic of "Public Health in the Age of Terrorism."
Mr. Booth, District No. 3 Representative, said that the Environmental Management Council
cannot make jurisdictional decisions regarding the Neighbor Notification Law, but can only advise; this
can only be done by an enforcement agency. He then said that there is confusion and misinformation
from all levels regarding the Department of Environmental Conservation's participation in
implementation of this law.
Mrs. Schuler, District No. 4 Representative, said that one or two years ago the Board of Health
had discussed the Neighbor Notification Law.
Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Representative, said that as Vice Chair of the Board of Health he wanted
to note that Mr. Nicholson had made a presentation to the Board of Health at a time that the full board
was not in attendance, and the delay was requested to provide for the input of all members. Mr. Proto
then said that he felt that the reason the resolution regarding the Neighbor Notification Law was not on
the agenda at the last County Board meeting was due to lack of a full Board. He asked Mr. Wood,
County Attorney, what the procedural rule was regarding holding a public hearing at one meeting and the
introduction of the resolution itself at another meeting.
Mr. Wood responded that the rule on a public hearing and the rule on the law itself are separate
items and there is not a legal requirement to have them at the same meeting. Mr. Proto inquired whether
there is any time constraint between the Public Hearing and the presentation of the law before the Board.
Mr. Wood said that while not certain if there is an exact time period he did not feel that the two weeks
involved would present a problem. Mr. Proto inquired whether all Board members were anticipated to be
present at the next Board meeting. Ms. Covert indicated that to her knowledge they were.
Ms. Robertson, District No. 13 Representative, said that in order to implement the Neighbor
Notification Law for 2003 it would require the Board to vote by no later than the December 17, 2002
meeting. She indicated this was the reason that the Board did not feel they could delay the issue to
provide more time to the Board of Health.
769
December 3, 2002
Presentation - Annual Report of the Diversity Consortium
Naomi Arndt, Organization Development Coordinator for Tompkins County and Chair of the
Diversity Consortium, reported to the Board on the accomplishments during 2002 and goals of the
Consortium for 2003. This group is made up of local professionals from area colleges, community
leaders, municipalities, public and private industry, and schools. They are concerned with improving
diversity in the workplace, and strive through tangible actions to improve the workplace. She read the
mission statement and objectives. During this calendar year one very successful program developed was
sponsoring civil service test preparation sessions open to all individuals seeking the training. These
sessions pooled many resources from members of the Consortium and due to the success of the initial
training subsequent sessions are taking place. She then provided a brief written report to members and
invited them to attend meetings or contact any member with questions.
Chair's Report and Appointment(s)
Mr. Joseph had no report or appointment(s).
Report from the County Administrator
Mr. Whicher said that the Fiscal Management Committee will be reviewing numerous positions
that are the result of the passage of the 2003 budget. He then reported to the Board that at a recent
Department Head meeting there was a strong sentiment to disband the Fiscal Management Committee and
they cited a variety of reasons, many of which were logical from their perspective. He has asked the
Department Heads to respond to him in the form a written survey prepared by his office and will update
the Board as the information is available.
Report from the County Attorney
Mr. Wood did not have a report.
Report from the Finance Director

MOVED by Mr. Winch, seconded by Ms. Robertson. A concern was voiced by Mr. Proto of the
portion of the resolution referring to Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit. Mr. Proto requested that he be
able to confer with the Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit Board to verify the information contained
within the resolution. The resolution will be brought forth at the Health and Human Services meeting as
it had previously been brought forth as a budget adjustment rather than a resolution at that time. Mr.
Squires, Finance Director, said that a decision had been made to put this adjustment in resolution form for
the Budget and Capital Committee as it was requiring contingency funds. Ms. Robertson said that Ms.
Dolan, Department of Social Services Commissioner, and Mr. Ghearing, Director of Tompkins
Consolidated Area Transit, will be meeting to discuss the mandated transportation of the Medicaid clients
in order to determine the best way to reduce costs for the service. Mr. Winch withdrew his motion, as did
Ms. Robertson. RESOLUTION WITHDRAWN.
Report from the Information Technology Services Committee
Mr. Winch, Chair, said that the November meeting had been cancelled due to a lack of agenda
items. It will meet next in December.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Public Works Committee
Mr. Lane, Vice Chair, reported that the Committee met on November 21, 2002. He said much of
the agenda was taken up with discussion on the new Civil Aviation facility being brought forward by
Taughannock Aviation. Information provided included plans for the building as well as information on
handicapped accessibility. This project will proceed to the Industrial Development Agency to determine
any incentives for the project.

RESOLUTION NO. 303 - AUTHORIZING AN AGREEMENT WITH THE
TRANSPORTATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION (TSA) TO
LEASE SPACE FOR A PERIOD OF UP TO FIVE YEARS IN THE
PASSENGER TERMINAL — ITHACA TOMPICINS REGIONAL
AIRPORT
MOVED by Mr. Lane, seconded by Ms. Kiefer. Mrs. Schuler inquired if a rental charge is going
to be made and was informed by Mr. Lane that there will be a charge for the use. A voice vote on the
resolution resulted as follows: Ayes — 13, Noes — 0, Excused - 2 (Representatives Blanchard and
Penniman). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) wishes to lease unoccupied space in the
passenger terminal at the Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport, to facilitate provision of passenger and
baggage screening services in accordance with the provisions of the Aviation and Transportation Security
Act of 2001, and
WHEREAS, the Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport is a publicly owned, public use facility that is
required by said Aviation and Transportation Security Act to have all passengers using the airport,
together with their carry -on and checked baggage, undergo security screening checks as prescribed by the
TSA, and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held before the Board of Representatives at 5:30 o'clock in the
evening of December 3, 2002, at which time and place all persons interested in the leasing of space to the
TSA were able to be heard, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Public Works Committee, That a five-year lease
agreement with the TSA be approved and that the County Administrator be and hereby is authorized to
execute said lease agreement.
SEQR ACTION: TYPE II -20
RESOLUTION NO. 304 - ESTABLISHING A UNIT CHARGE FOR THE 2003 SOLID WASTE
ANNUAL FEE
MOVED by Mr. Lane, seconded by Ms. McBean. Mr. Lane said the Committee moved to
maintain the annual fee at $51 for the year rather than reduce it to the $50 fee mentioned at the expanded
Budget Committee meetings. Mr. Proto referred to Category D, Colleges and Universities, saying he
feels that some of the fees charged were inadequate and that the fee scale in this category be reviewed.
Mr. Lane indicated a discussion took place this past fall with regard to the fees and that the formulas used
for the fees will be reviewed again in 2003 and extended an invitation to those interested. Ms. Robertson
said she would like to have this fee at $52 and provide more income for the Solid Waste Capital Fund,
noting that the fee has not risen for a number of years. She said she will be voting against this schedule
for that reason. Ms. McBean feels that the issue needs to be reviewed from a larger perspective and said
many of her constituents believed that this fee was designed to be temporary. Ms. Kiefer informed Ms.
McBean that while the fee was not to remain at the higher level indefinitely, there would be a level of fee
continuously to cover the cost of monitoring landfills. Ms. Kiefer also felt that the fee should be at the
$52 level and that is why she voted against the resolution at the Committee level. Mr. Lane said he did
not agree with Ms. Kiefer and agreed with Ms. McBean with regard to the fact that the fee should spiral
downward. He did say that the fee is not the only source of income for the Solid Waste Division and that
other revenue is received from solid waste recycling and transfer fees. Mr. Proto agreed with Mr. Lane's
statements and feels that had the County been flexible in setting the formula initially the fee might have
decreased more rapidly.
A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 8 (Representatives Booth, Herrera, Joseph, Koplinka-
Loehr, Lane, McBean, Todd, and Totman), Noes — 5 (Representatives Kiefer, Proto, Robertson, Schuler,
and Winch), Excused — 2 (Representatives Blanchard and Penniman). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.

the 2002 Solid Waste Annual Fee.

Report from the Planning Committee
Ms. Kiefer, Chair, said the Committee met November 21, 2002 and discussed the importance of
assisting County residents in reviewing choices for electricity purchase options needing to be made by the
end of this year. She said Tompkins Community Action is planning a second public information meeting
on December 7, 2002 to discuss the various options available. Ms. Kiefer then said the setting of
Planning Committee agenda items was discussed and it was determined unnecessary to include advisory
boards that provided regular written reports as a listed agenda item. The Intermunicipal Organization's
call for cooperation was discussed at the meeting and the County Attorney has been requested to review
the documents associated with membership of this organization, particularly areas of concern regarding
language. If the County Attorney approves the document it is recommended that it be signed.
Information received from the Planning Commissioner regarding the additional cuts made to the
Department indicated a concern for the municipal assistance programs. Commissioner Marx said that
without adequate staff the three-year planning that had been done may need to be revised. At the present
time there are five municipalities interested in receiving assistance from the County Planning Department.
Ms. Kiefer said the Committee also received an update on a draft SEQR Policy that has recently been
worked on.

Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Budget and Capital Committee
Mr. Booth, Vice Chair, reported that the Committee had met on November 26, 2002, and again
just prior to the Board meeting. He said that the longest discussion involved the resolution that followed.
RESOLUTION NO. 305 - AUTHORIZING THE ADDITION OF SEPARATE LINE ITEMS TO
THE TOMPKINS COUNTY REAL PROPERTY TAX BILLS
COMMENCING JANUARY 1, 2003
MOVED by Mr. Booth, seconded by Ms. McBean. Mr. Booth said that the purpose is to identify
on property tax bills what the magnitude is of state mandated services paid for with County -raised dollars.
He said that the design of the bill in the suggested form allows printing of this information on the
upcoming tax bills. Mr. Proto inquired whether it would be possible in subsequent years to include an
item that would indicate the percentage of change annually. Ms. Robertson said the information placed
on the bill would be constrained by what is allowed by law as well as the space available. Mr. Joseph
feels it is good to speak of the amount of the tax and to inform the public of the large amount required for
mandates, saying that of the twenty-two million dollars imposed, twenty million dollars is for state
mandates. Mr. Lane said that he feels this past year communicated to the public how extensively some
increases are beyond the control of the local government. A voice vote on the resolution resulted as
follows: Ayes — 13, Noes — 0, Excused - 2 (Representatives Blanchard and Penniman). RESOLUTION
ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the cost to county governments throughout the State of State -mandated programs has
risen dramatically, and
WHEREAS, the percentage of the Tompkins County annual budget expended to support Medicaid
and other State -mandated programs has continually increased, and
WHEREAS, the Board of Representatives desires to separately state these costs on the County real
property tax bill so that the taxpayers of Tompkins County are informed as to the cost to them of these
State -mandated programs, and
WHEREAS, the Government Operations Committee discussed and approved in concept the
addition of language to the tax bill informing residents of the costs of State -mandates, therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Capital Committee, That the Board of
Representatives hereby authorizes and directs the County Director of Assessment to state as a separate
line item or items on Tompkins County Real Property Tax Bills commencing with the bills for the 2003
real property tax the amount of the tax levy appropriated to fund Medicaid and other New York State -
mandated programs.
SEQR ACTION: TYPE 11-20
Report from the Charter Review Committee
Mr. Lane, Chair, said the Committee met on November 27, 2002, and had discussed the Human
Rights Commission, Reapportionment Report, and the Board of Representatives sections of the Charter.
The Committee also discussed the costs involved for printing the new Charter and how to best keep the
costs at a minimum. Mr. Lane believes that there may be one meeting in January 2003 to finalize the
revisions and then take approximately one month for the Board to review it.
Approval of Minutes of November 6, 2002
It was MOVED by Mr. Booth, seconded by Ms. Robertson, and unanimously adopted by voice
vote of members present, to approve the minutes of November 12, 2002 as submitted. MINUTES

Keepers of the Newfield Covered Bridge
Mr. Winch, District No. 8 Representative, announced that the Keeper's of the Newfield Covered
Bridge for the years 2003 - 2006 is the Newfield Historical Society. He then introduced Robin Anderson,
President of the Newfield Historical Society; Allan Chaffee, Vice President of the Newfield Historical
Society and Town of Newfield Historian, Reed Hoskins, Secretary of the Newfield Historical Society,
and Florence Emery, Treasurer of the Newfield Historical Society. Ms. Anderson thanked the Board and
noted the wonderful work previously done by Mr. and Mrs. Grant Musser to preserve the covered bridge.
Privilege of the Floor by the Public
Don Burton, member of the New York State Lawn Care Association, said this is a desperate
situation. He spoke of the language presented for the Pesticide Neighbor Notification Law, saying that he
feels statements contained within the resolution were incorrect and asked that the Board review the matter
more closely. He feels that the law will only increase application by homeowners and expressed concern
for litigation in the future.
Mary Carney, New York Public Interest Research Group, spoke in support of the law, saying she
had worked on Pesticide Neighbor Notification Laws in several counties and asked that the Law be
passed. She said that a voluntary registry does not provide for the mandated compliance and is not as cost
effective. She feels that fewer residents are notified when there only exists a voluntary registry.
Ken Miller, Farmer, spoke against the Pesticide Neighbor Notification Law and said the
Department of Environmental Conservation estimated a cost of between fifty thousand dollars to three
hundred thousand dollars to properly implement it. He feels that education can be done voluntarily. Mr.
Miller expressed concern that the law does not fully address all issues and requested that a different plan
be utilized.
Jeffrey Cox, member of the Environmental Management Council and resident of the Town of
Ithaca, spoke in support of the law and responded to an article by Amy Foote of Acme Lawn Care in
Dryden appearing in The Ithaca Journal, that stated her firm would switch to granular products if the
Pesticide Neighbor Notification Law passed. He said that the purpose of the law is to protect individuals
from exposure to airborne pesticides, not to set a specific amount of pesticide for use. Mr. Cox said the
purpose of the law is the notification of application and that many areas have learned to utilize
horticultural oils and soil management to effectively reduce pest infestations. He noted that for a minimal
cost to the contractors a list could be obtained of names and addresses to which to provide the
notification.
Christine Cox, Cayuga Heights resident, spoke in support of the Pesticide Neighbor Notification
Law. She responded to information in a letter to the editor by Mr. Burton saying that although farmers
may be healthier than the average person he did not note that they have a higher level of cancer than other
778
December 17, 2002
occupations. She expressed concern that a pesticide may be in use today, yet banned in the future once it
is realized to be a hazard.
Lin Davidson, Town of Lansing resident, spoke against the Pesticide Neighbor Notification Law
and said he feels it will put a burden upon the County. Mr. Davidson said that the level of risk versus
gain of a formal regulatory process does not warrant the legislation. He feels a voluntary registration for
not only commercial applicators but homeowners as well would be more beneficial.
Monika Roth, Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE), spoke about the willingness of CCE to
assist in the education process regarding the Pesticide Neighbor Notification Law and pesticides in
general. She spoke of the need to educate individuals who would be involved with complaint taking as
there are many things that may elicit a complaint, but that not one illegal, such as the spraying of
fertilizer. She suggested that enforcement staff receive training and be certified, the cost for this training
is approximately $450.
Abigail Lash together with colleagues from 4-H joined to thank the Board of Representatives for
the support shown to Cornell Cooperative Extension and presented the Board with baked goods.
John Knudson of Green Thumb Lawn Care spoke against the Pesticide Neighbor Notification
Law. He noted that only one percent of what he applies to laws is pesticide, with the majority being non-
hazardous. He said it cost his customers in Albany County $16,000 more because he hand -delivered
notifications. He said pesticides are safe by a factor of 1,000 compared to coffee or aspirin. Mr. Knudson
spoke of a situation with conflicting issues of vegetation growth and an endangered species of butterfly in
the Albany area and the difficulties of finding the appropriate balance between growth management and
the environmental impacts associated with it. He asked that those involved with the implementation of
the law be completely knowledgeable prior to making decisions.
Privilege of the Floor by Board Members
Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Representative, said he had placed information in Board members'
mailboxes relative to a distinguished youth award and requested that he be provided with input regarding
criteria. This award which had originally been discussed several years ago would be sponsored by local
businesses and be awarded monthly by each representative on a rotating basis. Mrs. Schuler asked if this
was the same type of award as the City of Ithaca provided. Mr. Proto responded that it is the same type of
award but that the City no longer participated in a program such as this. Mr. Booth asked if the award
could be made to a group rather than individual and was told it could be. Ms. Kiefer requested that the
draft criteria be provided to Board members once compiled.
Mr. Proto then reported that the Danby Agriculture, Horticulture, and Environmental Academy,
that is supported by the County and other community members, is completing its second year of
operation. Cornell University provided space for this program that is patterned after the New Visions
Program at TST BOCES. The Academy is utilizing the second half of a grant received from Senator
Kuhl's office and will be using a $40,000 grant received from the United States Department of
Agriculture in the next year. The annual report will be available shortly.
Mr. Lane, District No. 14 Representative, spoke of the bad news trickling from Albany regarding
next year's State budget. He said it is anticipated the State will be selling the tobacco debt and moving to
securitization that will require the need to generate revenue in a more progressive form. He feels that
lobbying needs to be done in order to best assist county governments as the financial burden shifts from
the State level to County level and hopes that the County works with other counties and New York State
Association of Counties to do so.
Mr. Penniman, District No. 15 Representative, said he agreed with Mr. Lane about the need to
work towards effective lobbying. He then spoke of the survey passed out regarding this year's budget
779
December 17, 2002
process and asked that members complete and return it by early January. Mr. Winch asked whether
department heads received the survey as well and was informed that Administration had the department
heads complete the surveys as a separate process.
Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Planning Committee
RESOLUTION NO. 306 - ADOPTION OF LOCAL LAW NO. 11 OF 2002 - A LOCAL LAW
AUTHORIZING PESTICIDE NEIGHBOR NOTIFICATION
MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Mrs. Schuler. Mr. Totman said he was voting against this
law as there was no support within his district. Mr. Penniman said he would be supporting the law
although it was a difficult decision. He noted he reviewed the material and showed concern but feels that
although commercial applicators are affected it will provide educational value with benefits outweighing
the negative consequences.
Mr. Proto wished to clarify that the Board of Health has not voted in any manner on the
resolution, though it did discuss that pesticides should be an area of concern. He does not desire any
comments to indicate the Board of Health is negative towards pesticide use. He said it would be preferred
to take the matter back to the Board of Health in January for further discussion and that no formal action
has been taken in any manner. Mr. Proto feels that the law is too strong and neighbors should be talking
to one another and that there is too little experience with this law to make a full determination.
Mr. Winch said he was a certified pesticide applicator and is aware of the methods of safe
application of pesticides and self -application problems as well. He would like pesticides to be applied by
professionals rather than self -application by individuals without proper knowledge. He expressed
concern about the Health Department having to take on the responsibility of enforcement of this law as it
will take away from other areas, especially areas such as rabies control. Mr. Winch would support a
voluntary registry system and feels that neighbors should discuss the matter with each other, and said he
will not support the legislation.
Ms. Kiefer feels this is right -to -know legislation and does not feel that we need demonstrate local
cases of illness prior to implementation of the law. She feels that the education intended to accompany
the legislation will assist in the process. Ms. Kiefer would have liked to change the language in the law
but that it was not allowed by the State. She said members had been provided with information from
stakeholders and a one-page sheet in educational information.
Mr. Booth said as a previous environmental lawyer for the Adirondack Park Agency and the
Department of Environmental Conservation several years ago he had participated in writing some of the
strict environmental laws that exist within the State. He agrees pesticides do possess a health concern,
regardless of the person applying it, and the Pesticide Neighbor Notification Law will make some
difference. Mr. Booth then said that while in substance he agrees, he will not vote in favor of it. He feels
that with the reduced resources to the Department of Health he cannot say that this law is more important
or as important as other things we need to do. Mr. Booth feels there are other public health issues that
should be dealt with and said the Mr. Andersson's estimate of $6,000 cost would not be applicable should
any lawsuit arise from the law.
Ms. Robertson thanked all those who have been involved with providing information. She noted
that while flawed, it is the only option available at this time and will support it. She feels the long-term
effects of pesticides are cumulative and it is valid to be suspicious of chemicals added to the environment.
Ms. Robertson said the benefit of pesticides is not strong enough for the potential risk. She feels while
the use of pesticides in the County is minimal, work to educate potential violators rather than litigation
will reduce the costs of enforcement. She noted John Andersson's estimated cost to implement the entire
law was $7,000, and that Judy Tynyk, Division of Weights and Measures, enforces similar laws but that
in fourteen years she has never had to resort to hearings and litigations as she works with the vendor to
780
December 17, 2002
understand the laws. In addition, Ms. Robertson feels an individual has the right -to -know and the
applicator should have that responsibility.
Mr. Todd said he has used insecticides and herbicides for fifty years. He feels that use in
agriculture is presently heavily regulated and that going beyond that level and the additional expense is
unnecessary.
Mr. Lane said this has been a difficult choice and that with the exception of budgets, has been
lobbied by both sides of the argument more than almost any other issue in the time he has been on the
Board. He feels the legislation itself is poor and that it should be a right. He thanked the Environmental
Management Council for their work, noting they are a well-respected organization. He expressed concern
about increased costs to the Department of Health due to other issues such as the smallpox vaccination
and does not feel that the estimated $7,000 cost for this law is correct. Mr. Lane feels the law is about
litigation and that the burden will fall on the County. Mr. Lane said he would prefer to have a liability or
sunset clause and could not support the legislation at this time and requested that it be postponed to
further look into how it is working in the five counties that have passed it previously.
It was MOVED by Mr. Lane, seconded by Mr. Booth, to postpone voting on this legislation until
the first meeting in March 2003. Ms. Kiefer said she does not support postponing the action and that the
budget is not going to improve at either State or local level in 2003 and that matters within the
Department of Health will not change. A voice vote on the motion resulted as follows: Ayes — 7
(Representatives Blanchard, Booth, Lane, Proto, Todd, Totman, and Winch); Noes - 8 (Representatives
Herrera, Joseph, Kiefer, Koplinka-Loehr, McBean, Penniman, Robertson, and Schuler). MOTION
FAILED.
A roll call vote on the resolution to adopt Local Law No. 11 resulted as follows: — Ayes - 8
(Representatives Herrera, Joseph, Kiefer, Koplinka-Loehr, McBean, Penniman, Robertson, and Schuler);
Noes - 7 (Representatives Blanchard, Booth, Lane, Proto, Todd, Totman, and Winch). RESOLUTION
ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the New York State Legislature in passing the Pesticide Neighbor Notification Law
(NNL), determined that it is an important right of citizens to know when and what pesticides are to be
sprayed on neighboring lawns, so that they may take appropriate action to minimize exposure by covering
furniture, bringing pets, laundry, and children inside, shutting windows, and other such actions, and
WHEREAS, the NNL allows each county to adopt this law only in its entirety, with no changes,
WHEREAS, a voluntary public registry, a frequently suggested alternative to the NNL, has been
specifically rejected as inadequate by both the New York State Senate and Assembly in favor of universal
notification, and
WHEREAS, the adoption of the NNL will provide an important opportunity to educate the public
with information about safer alternatives to pesticide usage, which will lead to less toxic chemicals being
released into the environment, and
WHEREAS, the registration of pesticides by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) means
that they will be effective if used as intended; it does not ensure public health adequately, particularly for
those most sensitive to pesticides: children, the elderly, people with respiratory problems or weakened
immune systems, and pregnant women, and
WHEREAS, the EPA reports that people exposed to pesticides may experience a range of
symptoms, including headaches, dizziness, respiratory distress, and seizures, and pesticides have been
repeatedly associated with long-term degenerative neurological illnesses such as Parkinson's Disease, and
WHEREAS, the Director of the Tompkins County Health Department and the Board of Health
have acknowledged that pesticides are a public health concern, and
WHEREAS, the inert ingredients in pesticides, which are more than ninety-five percent of the
product (by gallons) and are not required to be listed on labels, have been reported by New York State
and
781
December 17, 2002
Attorney General Elliot Spitzer to consist of hundreds of toxic chemicals, many being listed as active
ingredients in other pesticide products, and
WHEREAS, commercial and residential application of pesticides to lawns is primarily for
cosmetic purposes, and, according to the EPA, ninety-five percent of the pesticides used on residential
lawns are possible or probable carcinogens, and
WHEREAS, although Albany County was originally concerned about problems of enforcing the
law and enacted the law with a one year sunset provision, at the end of the one year the Albany County
Commissioner of Health reported that the law was more manageable than he had anticipated and the
County Legislature voted to continue the law without qualification, and
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Environmental Management Council conducted a study and
analysis of the proposed law and its implementation to date in New York State and on April 10, 2002,
recommended that the County opt in to the Neighborhood Notification Law for Pesticides, and
WHEREAS, on July 18, 2002, and October 17, 2002, joint meetings of the Planning and the
Health and Human Services Committees were held to gather input on this law from residents and other
stakeholders, and
WHEREAS, the Department of Health, the Department of Weights and Measures, the Division of
Solid Waste, Cornell Cooperative Extension, and the Environmental Management Council have begun
discussions concerning implementation of this law, and will coordinate their efforts in the event of its
passage, and
WHEREAS, a public hearing has been held before the Board of Representatives on December 3,
2002, to hear all persons interested in proposed Local Law No. 11 of 2002, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Planning Committee, That proposed Local Law No. 11
of 2002 — A Local Law Authorizing Pesticide Neighbor Notification, be and hereby is adopted, and will
be effective January 1, 2003,
RESOLVED, further, That the Clerk of the Board shall publish in the official newspaper of the
County a notice of adoption containing a synopsis of said Local Law, and shall within twenty (20) days
file one certified copy in the Office of the County Clerk, one copy with the Secretary of State, one copy
with the Commissioner of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, and one to
the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, and one copy to the New York State
Attorney General.

Presentation - Public Safety Communications Center
Mr. Shurtleff, Director of Emergency Response, spoke to the Board about the scope of the Public
Safety Communications Center project. On December 6, 2002, the Committee met and authorized the
final design, and bid documents will be handed out later this month. He gave a brief history of the
emergency systems within the County, noting the enhanced 911 system was developed five years ago in
August 1997, replacing the single number system that had been in place since 1972. In the year 2000 the
system moved to the Green Street facility with centralized dispatch. The new Public Safety
Communications Center, estimated to cost between 2.3 and 2.7 million dollars, will be located near the
Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport and will provide adequate space for all of the various components of
emergency services in one facility. Mr. Shurtleff provided drawings of the proposed complex as well as
showing samples of the materials that will be utilized in its construction. He explained the plans include
eight workstations that will be able to accommodate partnerships and in addition it is hoped to be able to
join with the state-wide wireless systems. The design allows for observation by public and staff of the
operations without disturbing them. It is expected that bids will be received by December 31,
construction to begin in March with occupancy in approximately one year.
782
December 17, 2002
Mr. Lane asked if the figures include equipment for the center and was told no; that the full
capital cost is three million dollars and that part of the public safety wireless system is included in this
figure.
Ms. Blanchard said that this is the first project where the County has worked with other
municipalities in the planning and that the cooperation was an excellent experience with the Village of
Lansing planning board. She feels that continuing in this manner would be good for all parties.
Chair's Report and Appointment(s)
Mr. Joseph reported that Tom Santulli of Chemung County has proposed a regional alliance to
put pressure on the State regarding property taxes. At the present time it is not a specific proposal but
rather a proposal to insist something be done. He also received a proposal from Joe Giambra, Executive
of Erie County who is suggesting a separate Medicaid authority funded by a one percent state-wide sales
tax. Mr. Joseph said that he has not had the opportunity to speak to Mr. Giambra and that while not
thrilled with the thought of an additional sales tax he is appreciative of the thoroughness of a suggestion
that may be feasible. Mr. Joseph would like to work with him to possibly suggest modifications as well
as to gain support with other counties in the State to develop a viable option.
Mr. Joseph did not have any appointments.
Report from the County Administrator
Mr. Whicher reported that he received a call from Senator Schumer's office indicating he is
working at a Federal level to assist in relieving the burden of Medicaid. Mr. Whicher then reported on a
tax distribution table as well as a sample tax bill that provides information about State mandates,
explaining how the figures are determined. Ms. Robertson asked if Town Clerks would be provided with
this information and was told they were receiving copies as well. Mr. Booth suggested that two lines be
added showing the property tax levy and the anticipated tax revenues that will show the magnitude of the
mandates. Mr. Proto asked if the numbers shown are the percentage of change. Mr. Whicher said it was.
Next, Mr. Whicher announced the resignation of Kathy Smithers, Deputy County Administrator,
in February 2003. He said that it will be a great loss and that Ms. Smithers said she is willing to act as a
consultant during the transition.
Report from the County Attorney
Mr. Wood had no report, however, he noted that by the passage of the Pesticide Neighbor
Notification Law the County had passed more laws this year than in previous history.
Report from the Finance Director
Mr. Squires said that the Medicaid expenses this past year well exceeded the budget, however, the
State has given permission to allow the County to utilize funds owed to the State in order to assist the
County's financial need. He said that it is hoped that sales tax revenue will help cover the shortfall caused
by Medicaid. He reported that the sales tax figures are better than expected, after ten months there is 1.4
million dollars in excess sales tax and he is expecting a total of at least 22.5 million dollars for 2002 sales
tax revenues. The additional tax on clothing and new stores coming on line should assist in 2003. Mr.
Squires said there has been a lot of discussion of sales tax covering expenses for local governments and
how it is seen by some as a weakness to rely upon it. Mr. Booth inquired whether the State has the right
to withhold any portion of sales tax that is local. He was told that it does not. Mr. Penniman noted that
sales tax revenues would exceed the property tax levy this year if tax revenues come in as expected.

for injured and vicious cats, rabies abatement, and animal cruelty enforcement. Mr. Winch has requested
that Mr. Winograd, Director of the SPCA, Alice Cole and John Andersson of the Health Department meet
to develop a proposal to adequately cover the rabies abatement and stray cat shelter portion. It was noted
that the stray cat issue is believed to tie into the rabies abatement and needs to be resolved. Mr.
Andersson said the relationship with the SPCA is unique in their provision of equipment and space
necessary to complete the required process of determining rabid animals. In addition, the Committee is
concerned with the additional expense of the upcoming smallpox program that is to be put in place.
The Committee also received a report from Ms. Dill, Director of the Human Services Coalition,
updating information on the COMPASS survey that is being compiled to provide information on service
agencies that will provide valuable information for the planning of future services.

said this resolution draws from the Contingent Fund to supplement the departmental budget in order to

RESOLUTION NO. 326 - AUTHORIZING A SALARY INCREASE FOR THE MEDICAL
DIRECTOR - MENTAL HEALTH WITH A SALARY
SPECIFICALLY AUTHORIZED BY BOARD RESOLUTION TO
BE ABOVE THE SALARY RANGE
MOVED by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, seconded by Mr. Booth.
It was MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Mr. Penniman, to offer the following substitute
resolution. Ms. Kiefer said that due to the high base salary she felt it more appropriate to offer an
increase that would more accurately reflect the rate of inflation represented by the Consumer Price Index.
Mr. Penniman said while recognizing the need to at times pay a higher salary in order to recruit an
individual he does not see the need to increase the salary at the same percentage rate as lower paid
employees. Mr. Koplinka-Loehr said that the position is fully reimbursed by the State and that the
position warranted the higher increase. Ms. Robertson said that whether or not reimbursed by the State it
is taxpayer money and she will support the substitute resolution. Mr. Joseph said he would support the
substitute resolution as well as he feels that although an individual may have been hired at the higher rate
of pay they had not given back some benefits that the present white collar workers did in order to receive
the higher percentage of increase. Mr. Squires said he did not believe the salary was fully reimbursed but
is paid from fees charged and Medicaid reimbursement.
A roll call vote on the substitute resolution resulted as follows: Ayes - 11 (Representatives
Blanchard, Herrera, Joseph, Kiefer, McBean, Penniman, Robertson, Schuler, Todd, Totman, and Winch);
Noes - 4 (Representatives Booth, Koplinka-Loehr, Lane, and Proto). MOTION TO SUBSTITUTE
CARRIED.
Mr. Winch said that he is not supporting the resolution or subsequent ones regarding the
increased salaries as the increases recommended would actually pay for a cleaner much needed in the
Facilities Division. He feels the expended funds would better assist a lower income family than provide
for an individual already making adequate wages. Ms. McBean agreed fully with Mr. Winch. A short
roll call vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 12 (Representatives Blanchard, Booth, Herrera, Joseph, Kiefer,
Lane, McBean, Penniman, Robertson, Schuler, Todd, and Totman); Noes - 3 (Representatives Koplinka-
Loehr, Proto, and Winch). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the salary for Medical Director - Mental Health was established by separate
resolution of the Board of Representatives to have a salary placed at a rate above the corresponding salary
schedule, and
WHEREAS, the 2002 salary for this position is $141,285, and
WHEREAS, the reason for granting the Medical Director - Mental Health a salary above the
range assigned in the Management salary scale is difficulty in recruitment of psychiatric administrative
personnel at the rate of pay listed in the Management scale, and
WHEREAS, Resolution No. 118 of 2002 requires that salary increases can only be made by a
resolution of the Board, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Government Operations Committee, That effective
January 1, 2003, the salary for Medical Director - Mental Health will be increased by the average of the
Consumer Price Index for the previous three full years (1999-2001), namely 2.77 percent,
RESOLVED, further, That upon vacancy, the salary of the above job title shall return to the

WHEREAS, the salary for the Undersheriff was established by separate resolution of the Board
of Representatives to have a salary placed at a rate above the corresponding salary schedule, and
WHEREAS, the 2002 salary for the incumbent Undersheriff is $65,652, and
WHEREAS, the Sheriff has reported a strongly positive evaluation of the incumbent's position
performance, and
WHEREAS, it is appropriate to grant the Undersheriff a salary increase in alignment with the
percent of increase being granted to white collar employees, and
WHEREAS, the County's white collar employees will receive a 4.25 percent increase in salaries
in 2003, and
WHEREAS, Resolution No. 118 of 2002 requires that salary increases can only be made by a

RESOLUTION NO. 328 - AUTHORIZING A SALARY INCREASE FOR THE COUNTY
ATTORNEY WITH A SALARY SPECIFICALLY AUTHORIZED
BY BOARD RESOLUTION TO BE ABOVE THE SALARY RANGE
MOVED by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, seconded by Mr. Booth.
It was MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Ms. McBean, to offer a substitute resolution
increasing the salary by 3.1875 percent. Ms. Herrera asked what the approximate savings of the
substitute resolution is and was told it was approximately seven hundred dollars. Mr. Booth said while he
feels that future contracts should be made to be more in line with the rate of inflation he recognizes the
fact that these are responsible positions and should not be treated in a different manner than other
employees. Mr. Joseph wanted to clarify that the rate of salary increase is higher due to negotiations and
that the overall contract received by employees is close to the cost of inflation. Ms. Kiefer feels that as a
result of the hire rate being higher than the normal schedule that the same rate of inflation need not apply
as other workers. She said that although it is higher than the rate of inflation, it will provide for a cost
savings. Mr. Lane said he is concerned with the changes being offered and that changes such as those
suggested should be done as a Board Policy rather than individual substitutions. Ms. McBean expressed
the belief that every position within the County is equally important and it should not be viewed as more
critical than another. Ms. Kiefer said that these positions are different in that they are paid at a rate higher
rate than the County's salary schedule and are reviewed and voted on annually. Mr. Lane said that he
feels that even the lower paid employees are treated equally as a result of the negotiations with unions. A
voice vote on the substitute motion resulted as follows: Ayes - 7 (Representatives Herrera, Kiefer,
McBean, Penniman, Robertson, Schuler, and Winch); Noes - 8 (Representatives Blanchard, Booth,
Joseph, Koplinka-Loehr, Lane, Proto, Todd and Totman). MOTION TO SUBSTITUTE FAILED.

December 17, 2002
It was MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Mr. Penniman, to offer a substitute resolution
increasing the salary by 2.77 percent. Ms. Kiefer said this was another professional position whose high
salary could best be treated by recommending the increase be in line with the Consumer Price Index
average for the past three years. Mr. Proto again stated that the salaries provided within this and a
previous resolution exceed the County's own Medical Director position. Ms. Blanchard asked for
clarification of the salary break -down for these two positions with different hours. She also inquired
whether either individual in these positions maintain a private practice. It was noted that it was unknown.
Ms. Herrera asked for the amount of funds involved in the proposed increase. Ms. Robertson requested
whether it is possible to table the resolution pending information requested by Ms. Blanchard. Mr.
Koplinka-Loehr said that he does not feel it is relevant.
It was MOVED by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Mr. Winch, to table the resolution. A voice vote
resulted as follows: Ayes - 3 (Representatives Proto, Robertson, and Winch); Noes - 12 (Representatives
Blanchard, Booth, Herrera, Joseph, Kiefer, Koplinka-Loehr, Lane, McBean, Penniman, Schuler, Todd,
and Totman). MOTION TO TABLE FAILED.
A voice vote to accept the substitute resolution resulted as follows: Ayes - 8 (Representatives
Blanchard, Herrera, Joseph, Kiefer, McBean, Penniman, Robertson, and Schuler); Noes - 7
(Representatives Booth, Koplinka-Loehr, Lane, Proto, Todd, Totman, and Winch). MOTION TO
SUBSTITUTE CARRIED.
Mr. Proto said that he thinks all employees are treated fairly. He feels that with the extensive
salary range that the suggested increase is still very substantial. He said many of his constituents do not
make adequate salaries and that there was not concurrence to forego the longevity bonus next year. He
said that the Board members have decreased their increase and he had suggested a reduction of hours
across the board in order to reduce the budget.
Mr. Lane said that the salaries may seem excessive, but it is the nature of the positions. He
recalled the difficulty of obtaining radiologists years ago and the need to have a higher salary. He said
that if we need the quality individuals we will need to pay the proper wages to obtain them. Ms. Herrera
said that the substitute resolution is a compromise.
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr said Government Operations will be taking up this issue next year and hopes
the process takes on a different forum. Ms. Robertson asked whether there is a merit -based performance
evaluation that is associated with the increases and was informed that there is none at the present time.
Mr. Proto said he does not believe the process is political and feels all parties are voting their conscience.
He asked whether the staff would continue their position at the lower amount.
Mrs. Schuler also inquired whether there would be a problem with the recommended amounts.
Mr. Whicher indicated there was not a problem, however he feels it sets a poor precedent. Mr. Joseph
said the purpose of these discussions is that due to the amount of salary it is a separate decision and he
feels it is appropriate to set the raise separately as well.
A roll call vote on the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes - 11 (Representatives Blanchard,
Booth, Herrera, Joseph, Kiefer, Lane, McBean, Penniman, ° Schuler, Todd, and Totman), Noes - 4
(Representatives Koplinka-Loehr, Proto, Robertson, and Winch). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the Psychiatrists were established by separate resolution of the Board of

Report from the Economic and Workforce Development Committee
Mr. Lane, Chair, said the Committee met on December 12, 2002, and heard from the Tompkins
County Area Development (TCAD). TCAD said that the strain on the economy has resulted in a small
reduction in members during their present drive. They have also been working on Economic
Development Strategy, the Industrial Development Agency (IDA) has held hearings on the Ciminelli
Project, the Gateway Project closed, and they are working with the Planning Department on a SEQR
Policy for the IDA. There are future projects that will continue to keep both TCAD and IDA extremely
busy during 2003. Mr. Lane said the Empire Zone was not awarded to Tompkins County and it is not
fully understood why the County was overlooked. In the near future those areas without the Empire
Zones will be meeting to determine how to best attain one. The Strategic Tourism Planning Board has
provided draft criteria for an upcoming grant program for the tourism industry. The Joint Working Group
briefly met and will meet again in early January. Mr. Proto inquired about the living wage study being
undertaken regarding the Joint Working Group and was informed that Ms. Armstrong of TCAD is
preparing that. Mr. Proto then asked when the IDA will bring forth the resolutions regarding the
Ciminelli project and was informed it would be February or March. Mr. Penniman noted that Rensselear
County, represented by Senator Bruno, had received the last Economic Development Zone.

RESOLUTION NO. 337 - AUTHORIZING THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR TO ENTER
INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH MOTOROLA FOR CONSOLES,
CONSOLE FURNITURE AND A MICROWAVE LINK AT THE NEW
PUBLIC SAFETY COMMUNICATIONS CENTER
MOVED by Ms. Blanchard, seconded by Ms. Robertson. Mr. Wood, County Attorney, said this
is equipment needed in order to make the new Public Safety Communications Center operational. He
said that Phase I will include items required to get the system up and running and that Phase II is a future
consideration. He said the breakout was explained in more detail in the memo provided to Board
members. Mr. Wood said that future savings may occur based upon the direction the Board decides to go
during the Phase II process. Mr. Todd asked how long this equipment will carry the Board and where the
funds will come from. Mr. Squires said the funds could be for a ten-year period but he would never
recommend ten year bonding for technology; he would recommend five years. Mr. Todd said he is
concerned about the cost per square foot of the building itself as well. Ms. Herrera inquired when the
State may make a determination on the State-wide system and was told that if the State chose Motorola it
805
December 17, 2002
would most likely be several years before the systems would integrate. Mr. Proto disclosed that he was a
stockholder in Motorola without a substantial interest. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 15; Noes
- 0. RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the County is proceeding to construct a new Public Safety Communications Center,

ADJUSTMENTS
MOVED by Mr. Penniman, seconded by Mr. Booth.
Ms. Kiefer MOVED to substitute the resolution authorizing budget adjustments up to $2,000 be
approved by the Finance Director, seconded by Ms. Herrera. Mr. Penniman said he had no objection to
the proposed substitute and accepted it as friendly. Mr. Joseph said that as it was passed by Committee he
felt it should be acted upon in that matter.
It was MOVED by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, seconded by Mr. Booth, to amend the amount to $5,000,
citing that it had been discussed at the Committee level. Ms. Robertson said that she was happy with the
$2,000 amount accepted as a friendly amendment and said a particular amount had not been discussed in
the Budget Committee. Mr. Proto said that this resolution was brought forward as a result of the number
of adjustments for small amounts being put forth for Program Committee approvals. He would like to see
the amount at $2,000. Ms. Herrera asked whether the paragraph suggested was being retained. Mr.
Koplinka-Loehr said that the paragraph remained, the amount was changing to $5,000. Mr. Booth said
that this would provide appropriate authority to the Finance Director.
A voice vote on the recommendation to increase the amount to $5,000 resulted as follows: Ayes -
8 (Representatives Blanchard, Booth, Joseph, Koplinka-Loehr, Lane, McBean, Todd, and Totman); Noes

WHEREAS, from January 1, 2002 through November 20, 2002, the Board of Representatives
acted on 71 budget adjustments of which 20 were less than or equal to $2,000, and
WHEREAS, minor adjustment amounts of up to $5,000 per revenue or appropriation transaction
would more effectively be served by authorizing the Director of Finance to approve such adjustments,
now therefore be it

MOVED by Mr. Penniman, seconded by Mr. Booth. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 11
(Representatives Blanchard, Booth, Herrera, Joseph, Kiefer, Koplinka-Loehr, Lane, Penniman,
Robertson, Schuler, and Todd), Noes - 3 (Representatives McBean, Proto, and Totman). Excused - 1
(Representative Winch). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, this Board in 1991, 1992, 1994, 1996, 1998, and 2001 requested and received
authorization from the State of New York to enact an additional one percent local sales tax in Tompkins
County in addition to the three percent authorization that all New York State counties possess by law, and
WHEREAS, the current authorization received in 2001 expires November 30, 2003, and
WHEREAS, this Board has been requested by the offices of Assemblyperson Elect Lifton and
Senator Seward to forward any request for an extension of this authority when legislation can be timely
prepared and submitted at the beginning of a session of the legislature, and
WHEREAS, the expiration of the additional one percent local sales tax would necessitate, 1)
$5,650,000 in reductions in County expenditures, creating a major impact on the availability of services,
or a 23 percent increase in County property tax rates, or some combination thereof, as well as 2)
substantial spending reductions or tax increases for the City, towns, and villages of Tompkins County,
now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Capital Program Committee, That this
Board requests that Assemblyperson Elect Lifton, Senator Seward, and Senator Kuhl sponsor and support
legislation extending the authority of the Board of Representatives of Tompkins County to extend the
additional one percent local sales tax in Tompkins County beyond November 30, 2003, based on the same
terms and conditions included in previous legislation, to provide local property tax relief.
SEQR ACTION: TYPE II -20
RESOLUTION NO. 340 - SUSPENSION OF FISCAL MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE
MOVED by Mr. Penniman, seconded by Ms. Robertson. Mr. Proto inquired what the process
will be if this resolution passes. Mr. Penniman said the Department Heads will be allowed to fill funded
positions. Mr. Booth said that he feels 2003 will not be any easier than 2002 in terms of the County's
fiscal position and feels this committee is a good tool and would like to see it kept in place. Mr. Whicher
said the Department Heads discussed this procedure and that the survey indicated that it was an arduous
807
December 17, 2002
process not lending itself to improvement. He feels the Department Heads are the ones who can best
address the situation and it would show a great deal of faith in their abilities to allow them to make
staffing determinations.
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr was excused at 9:00 p.m.
Ms. Dolan, Commissioner of Social Services, said that she had attempted to work with the
requests made by the Committee. She indicated that while laudable the effect on the Department Heads
has been negative. She explained the extremely long process required while the Committee has been in
place to fill vacant, necessary positions within the confines of Civil Service requirements. She said that it
put the focus on one position during a period when Department Heads were looking at the entire situation
as a whole and did not prove to be effective when comparing the time -line involved in the process. Ms.
Dolan then said that she feels the Board and Administration has succeeded in conveying the message that
it is a difficult economic period and that efforts will need to continue to reduce spending as much as
possible. She feels all department heads will continue to seek ways to reduce expenses.
Ms. Herrera inquired whether a Committee could be formed at a later date if necessary and was
told it was possible. Mr. Penniman felt that he could support the resolution as we had just approved
positions for the upcoming year. Ms. Robertson asked what Mr. Whicher's role would be in the future.
Mr. Whicher explained he would not be reviewing each position, however, if he were to see any problem
he would address it as needed. Mr. Proto felt suspending the committee at this time should also require
suspension of any rollover policy. He feels it is the best review at this point in time. Ms. McBean noted
the department heads had done a thorough review and reorganization of their departments for this year
and feels that it is adequate; if a revisit of the committee is needed it can occur. Mr. Totman feels the
theory of the Committee was good, however when the positions were brought forth to the Committee they
were all approved and that it diminished the purpose of the Committee.
It was MOVED by Mr. Todd, seconded by Ms. Robertson to call the question. A voice vote
resulted as follows: Ayes - 12, Noes - 0, Excused - 3 (Representatives Herrera [temporarily out of room],
Koplinka-Loehr, and Winch). MOTION CARRIED.
A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 9 (Representatives Blanchard, Herrera, Joseph, McBean,
Penniman, Robertson, Schuler, Todd, and Totman), Noes - 4 (Representatives Booth, Kiefer, Lane, and
Proto), Excused - 2 (Representatives Koplinka-Loehr and Winch). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Board of Representatives has recently completed the 2003
Budget Process, making funding decisions on all County programs and positions, and
WHEREAS, the County Administrator has recommended that the Fiscal Management Committee
is not needed at this time to review every vacant position before it is filled, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Capital Committee, That the Fiscal
Management Committee shall be suspended until further notice.

Local Law No. 9 of 2002
A Local Law Establishing a Surcharge for Wireless Communications
Section 1. This Local Law adds a new section to the County Code that poses a surcharge on wireless
communications service in the County of Tompkins.
Section 2. A new Chapter 111 is added to the Tompkins County Code that shall read as follows:
§111-1. Findings.
831
Tompkins County Proceedings
The Tompkins County Board of Representatives in order to provide for the protection of
the health, safety, and welfare of persons in the County, finds it in the public interest for
there to be a surcharge on wireless communication services operating in Tompkins
County.
§111-2. Surcharge on Wireless Communications.
Pursuant to the authority granted to the Tompkins County Board of Representatives by
County Law §308-a there is hereby imposed a surcharge of 30 cents per month on
wireless communications service in the County of Tompkins. The surcharge shall be
imposed on each wireless communications device and shall be reflected and made
payable on bills rendered for wireless communications service that is provided to a
customer whose place of primary use is within the County.
For purposes of this section, the term "place of primary use" shall mean the street address
that is representative of where the customer's use of the wireless communications service
primarily occurs, which address must be: (a) a residential street address or the primary
business street address of the customer, and (b) within the licensed service area of the
wireless communications service supplier. Provided, however, that a wireless service
supplier may treat the address used by such supplier for any wireless communications
customer under a service contract or agreement in effect on July 28, 2002, as that
wireless communications customer's place of primary use for the remaining term of such
service contract or agreement, excluding any extension or renewal of such service
contract or agreement, for purposes of determining the taxing jurisdiction with respect to
taxes on wireless communications service.
§111-3. Commencement.
The wireless communications service supplier shall begin to add such surcharge to the
billings of its customers on January 2, 2003.
§111-4. Collection.
(A) Each wireless communications service supplier providing such service within the
County of Tompkins shall act as collection agent for the County and shall remit
the funds collected pursuant to the surcharge imposed under the provisions of this
law to the chief fiscal officer of the County of Tompkins every month. Such
funds shall be remitted no later than thirty days after the last business day of the
month.
(B) Each wireless communications service supplier shall be entitled to retain, as an
administrative fee, an amount equal to two percent of its collections of the
surcharge imposed under the provisions of this law.
(C) The surcharge required to be collected by a wireless communications service
supplier shall be added to and stated separately in its billings to customers.
(D) Each wireless communications service customer who is subject to the provisions
of this law shall be liable to Tompkins County for the surcharge until it has been
paid to the County except that payment to a wireless communications service
