Youth Services Board
Jessica Evett-Miller - City of Ithaca representative
Report from the Planning, Development and Environmental Quality Committee
Ms. Herrera, 2005 Chair, reported as Chair for two years many goals were accomplished. She
spoke of being very impressed with the way the Planning Department operates and the professionalism
exhibited. Ms. Herrera noted two of the goals were the County Comprehensive Plan and the Open
Burning issue; she was amazed at how people were brought together through the process. Ms. Herrera
said the Committee met on December 7th at which time there was a presentation from Fred Bonn who
discussed the tourism work done through the Strategic Tourism Planning Board.
She noted that the new Chair of the Committee, Ms. Robertson, would get to see the Convention
and Tourism Center expansions planned. Ms. Herrera spoke of the work done by Workforce New York
and encouraged their efforts. Also noted was the study of the Route 13 corridor in Dryden, as well as a
multi -modal transportation study for the waterfront area of the City, walkability assessments on Hanshaw
Road and in Trumansburg. She said these things are rural and urban Quality -of -Life issues. Ms. Herrera
said a Request for Proposals was completed relating to the scenic resources inventory for a consultant
who will assist in determining what locations could be included.
Ms. Herrera said it has been an honor and pleasure to serve as Chair of the Committee.
12
January 3, 2006
Ms. Robertson, 2006 Chair, said the Committee will meet briefly prior to the January 17

for regular meetings, beginning in February.

Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, Chair, did not have a report.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Government Operations Committee
Ms. Kiefer, Vice Chair, did not have a report.
RESOLUTION NO. 4 - ESTABLISHING 2006 MEETING DATES
MOVED by Ms. Herrera, seconded by Mr. Booth. Ms. Kiefer said she would like to recommend
only one meeting be scheduled for the month of August 2006. She provided information relating to
action taken within the last five-year period for that month. Ms. Kiefer believed the information indicated
it was potentially feasible to combine the meetings.
1t was MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Ms. Robertson, to amend the resolution to indicate
that for the month of August, 2006, one meeting be held on August 8, 2006.
Ms. Herrera said while commendable to try not to have meetings if not necessary, it leaves the
potential of a full month time between Legislature action; this could create a problem.
Ms. Robertson asked what Mr. Whicher and other Department Heads felt the impact may be. Mr.
Whicher said it should not impact staff, but could slow down work in some areas due to the length of
time.
Mr. Booth said he would not support the motion, consent agenda items are equally as important to
act upon. Ms. Kiefer felt the number of resolutions is reducing with time and that the changes to the
budget process have changed the focus, she does not believe it to be necessary.
Mr. Dennis inquired whether it is possible to cancel the second meeting in August if it were
proven not to be necessary. It was noted the meeting could be cancelled by resolution.
Mr. Proto felt the schedule should be kept, that if Legislators needed to be excused they could do
so.
Ms. Robertson said she seconded the motion to be able to have a discussion; upon hearing the
information provided she will not be supporting the resolution.
A voice vote on the motion to amend the schedule resulted as follows: Ayes - 1 (Legislator
Kiefer); Noes - 14. MOTION FAILED.
A voice vote on the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes - 14; Noes - 1 (Legislator Kiefer).

members of the Legislature; he said the position is challenging but all members will work together
regardless of position. Mr. Proto said Mr. Joseph said the County is complimented at the State level for
the ability to get along. Mr. Proto then opened nominations for a Permanent Chair.

Mr. Koplinka-Loehr.

January 3, 2006
Mr. Booth said Mr. Joseph is deeply experienced in all aspects of the Legislature and County
government and encourages participation by all members. He said although they sometimes disagreed,
Mr. Joseph respects his right to do so. Mr. Booth said Mr. Joseph listens well, is patient, and has a
willingness to include everyone and should be respected for this. In addition, he is honest and open in
terms of explaining difficult issues in a manner that people can understand. Mr. Koplinka-Loehr stated
that Mr. Joseph has the ability to summarize differences and articulate opposing views and is someone he
looks to as a model.
Mr. Hattery nominated Mr. Proto as Permanent Chair, seconded by Mr. Sigler.
Mr. Hattery said Mr. Proto is the senior Legislator of the body and has acted as Chair on many
Committees as well as having the temperament and values to allow him to see both sides of an issue.
Hearing no more nominations, it was MOVED by Mr. Booth, seconded by Ms. Herrera, and
unanimously adopted by voice vote, to close nominations. In answer to a question, no one requested a
secret ballot.
A vote by show of hands to elect Tim Joseph Chair of the Legislature resulted as follows: Ayes -

Election of a Vice Chairman
The next order of business was the election of Vice Chairman and Mr. Joseph opened
nominations. Ms. Herrera nominated Mrs. McBean-Clairborne as Vice Chair, seconded by Mr. Dennis.
Ms. Herrera made the following statement:
"It is my honor and privilege to nominate someone who embodies the notion of democracy in
action. Since her arrival here in 1990, Leslyn McBean-Clairborne has been an active part of this
community, as an ally to all.
"Leslyn's early efforts organizing and running a peer mediation group for teens (the Ithaca
Peacemakers), her work with Local Law C [Local Law No. 6 of 1991] as a new member to the
community, her efforts organizing an active neighborhood association (CAN -DO) for the Historic
Southside, and her work with the Corn Street gas station remediation, just to name a few, demonstrate her
support of our community. She continues to give her time, talent, and commitment to fighting for social
justice and equality for all.
"As a Legislator, Leslyn is a model of fairness, treating workers, administrators, and her peers
from either side of the aisle with respect. This is what we hope for from our leaders, and from Leslyn,
what we have come to rely on. Thoughtful and well spoken, Leslyn seeks not only to represent everyone,
but also to represent everyone fairly. And she succeeds.
"As chair of the Public Safety Committee, Leslyn McBean-Clairborne worked to include the
voices of all Public Safety personnel on matters of interest such as the integrated communications system.
She's also led the committee to more cooperative discussions and decisions.
4
January 3, 2006
"Leslyn successfully articulated to the Legislature the need for Tompkins County to move
forward in its efforts toward fully supporting the diversity of our community. With Leslyn McBean-
Clairborne's adept communication skills and diplomacy, we gained the support of the Legislature and are
engaged in a process of culture change that can enhance the quality of life for us all. A tall order for sure,
and Leslyn will take us there, not single-handedly but as a team.
"As a working class woman of color, I am proud to serve on the Tompkins County Legislature
with Leslyn McBean-Clairborne, who I consider to be a colleague, friend, and sister.
"There is much more I could say, but to sum up I will mention that Leslyn has been awarded the
Human Rights Commission's special Award for 2006, which is a great honor and is well deserved.
"Accordingly, it gives me great pleasure to nominate Leslyn McBean-Clairborne for vice chair of
the 2006 Tompkins County Legislature."
Mr. Hattery nominated Mr. Sigler as Vice Chair, seconded by Mr. Randall. Mr. Hattery stated
Mr. Sigler would be capable of continuing Legislature leadership that he is known for in Lansing. Mr.
Randall said he has come to respect the phenomenal dedication exhibited by Mr. Sigler and that while he
may lack in experience this would be made up for by his passion and dedication.
Hearing no more nominations, it was MOVED by Mr. Booth, seconded by Ms. Robertson, and
unanimously adopted by voice vote, to close nominations.
A vote by show of hands to elect Mrs. McBean-Clairborne Vice Chair of the Legislature resulted
as follows: Ayes - 11 (Legislators Booth, Dennis, Herrera, Joseph, Kiefer, Koplinka-Loehr, Mackesey,
McBean-Clairborne, Robertson, Shinagawa, and Stevenson).
A vote by show of hands to elect Mr. Sigler Vice Chair of the Legislature resulted as follows:
Ayes - 4 (Legislators Hattery, Proto, Randall, and Sigler).
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne was declared Vice Chair of the Legislature for 2006.
Mr. Joseph introduced the camera crew to the new Legislators and the Public. He thanked
members for electing him chair and said he would do his best to ensure the function of the Legislature in a
cooperative and effective manner. Mr. Joseph then read the following statement:
Address to Legislature
"Thank you. I appreciate your support in choosing me as chair and will do my best to ensure that
we function cooperatively and effectively. We will, of course, have many differences. That is in the
nature of the work we do. But those differences can be an asset if they are handled respectfully and
productively.
"Many of the issues we face and much of what we do in the months ahead will be a continuation
of what we've been doing, because the issues and problems facing the County do not change simply
because many of the people do. We still face county property taxes that are too high, and the increases of
recent years were driven largely by state mandated expenditures. We have won some relief in the form of
a cap on growth in the local share of Medicaid but we remain vulnerable to other forms of cost shifting
and will continue working with other counties through our state association to resist this. As most people
are aware, County property tax is part of a much larger total bill that covers County, municipal and school
services. The overall structure of taxation in the state and nation has become too regressive and too
reliant on property tax. Congress has just passed new legislation that again cuts taxes for the wealthiest
while slashing services for the poorest. We have yet to see how these program cuts will affect our
5
January 3, 2006
citizens, but we can be certain these cuts in Federal taxes and services will translate into increased
expenditures and taxes at the local level. To reverse this trend will require working effectively in
alliances with many other groups who share an interest in reasonable and progressive taxation.
"We have the opportunity to partner with a new district attorney and increase our efforts to make
our community safer and bring down our jail population. Her support will make existing programs more
effective and will make new initiatives possible. I would like to see us increase our efforts to help
inmates from our local jail and from state prison succeed in reintegrating into the community. Currently
we simply open the jail door and say goodbye. We can do better than that, and we must if we don't want
to see the same people coming right back. We must also ensure that the youth in our communities have
positive and productive choices available to counter the temptations of drugs, gangs and other dangers
they face. The guidance and opportunities we offer our young people are the most important factors that
influence their futures and the future of our community.
"Our economic development efforts have been quite successful in recent years. They have made
us a regional job center, and have led to business growth and new development in Ithaca as well as in
other parts of the County. TCAD is currently engaged in updating and implementing a County economic
development strategy. The IDA will be taking on three new members and will be reexamining its policies
and procedures, particularly around its density policy for the City.
"A housing shortage has been a long standing problem in our community. This is reflected in
high prices that have put decent housing out of reach for many working class families. A number of
projects, both completed and underway, have begun to relieve some of the shortage, but affordability
remains a problem. We must continue working to ensure the availability of adequate and affordable
housing for all the people who live here, as well as those who wish to live here but currently cannot.
"In this, as in many areas, other municipalities have greater authority and influence than the
County does. The County can be most effective by working with, and at times coordinating, the efforts of
others. Intergovernmental cooperation has long been a stated goal of virtually all local governments.
Near the end of last year we began discussions about a council of governments that could facilitate our
working together. I hope that this year will see the formation of such a council and the beginning of new
joint ventures as a result.
"We must increase the diversity of our workforce, so that it better reflects the community we
serve. This was a priority this past year, but so far we have only laid the groundwork for change.
Continuing this effort is critical, not only because justice and fairness demand it, but because it is
essential to providing quality service to all the people we represent.
"In order to accomplish any of this, we must first integrate 7 new members of the Legislature and
build an effective team that can govern, solve problems, and push forward new initiatives. Almost half of
the legislature is new, but they are a talented and capable group, most of whom have previous experience
in government. We have already had a few orientation meetings, but with today's meeting and the
formation of committees, we begin actually working together. The continuing members will provide
continuity and leadership in many areas. Leslyn McBean-Clairborne has stepped forward to fill role of
vice chair and many continuing members will chair committees. New members will bring new ideas and
new priorities that will gradually play a larger and larger role in setting our agenda and defining our
direction. Two are already being tapped to lead committees.
"As always, the efforts of the legislature are dependent on the hundreds of men and women who
work for the county and serve our citizens. They are the ones who make real the programs and initiatives
that we talk about. Often they are the ones who guide us in making the right choices. They are critical
members of the team that makes our county government a leader and an example in the state. I thank you
for choosing me to lead that team and look forward to an exciting and productive year together."

Mr. Joseph called upon Mrs. McBean-Clairborne to make a statement.
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne thanked Ms. Herrera and Mr. Dennis for their nomination. She said
often it is difficult to know what you have done and the influence you have had until someone notifies
you of it; she appreciated being reminded of some of the accomplishments. Mrs. McBean-Clairborne said
that her life has taken her in directions she had not planned and that she has learned to be able to "go with
the flow". She is proud and honored to have been chosen Vice Chair of the Legislature.
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne said she chose her seat location to be able to deliberately look to the
new and continuing members of the Legislature to assist in shaping the position which does not have
fully -defined responsibilities. Mrs. McBean-Clairborne is open and willing to listen to suggestions and
thoughts from others that could be put in place. She said that she will be continuing as Chair of the
Public Safety and the Workforce Diversity and Inclusion Committees, and that she will continue to work
diligently for the issues of social justice, human and civil rights, public safety, and most importantly
teamwork. She spoke of the importance of working as a team and said Mr. Winch, former Legislator,
spoke of the importance of communications. Mrs. McBean-Clairborne said she expects to work more on
communications with each other and noted that although people sometimes disagree it does not need to be
disagreeable.
She said although she is a City of Ithaca representative her movement has and will go beyond the
City; that it is about the people of the County and what is right. She emphasized that voting is a
responsibility and that it is important to be fiscally responsible as well as moving forward for things that
benefit not only her constituents, but everyone. She also stressed the importance of listening to the
residents of the County.
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne thanked the Chair for his confidence and said she looks forward to
building the team of Legislators to be even stronger than it has been. She also said she looks forward to
working with the new Legislators.
Expressions of Appreciation from Legislators
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne thanked her family for their continued support and recognition of the
areas of importance and movement to her and their desire to support her efforts.
Mr. Dennis thanked his wife, Karen, a teacher at Northeast school for her support, that he is glad
for her presence.
Ms. Mackesey thanked her husband, Thomas Mann, for his support and understanding and
expressed appreciation for his support.
Mr. Hattery thanked his wife Deborah, son Michael, and friend Jim Crawford, for their support.
Mr. Sigler thanked his wife, Sarah, and the voters in the Town of Lansing for their support. He
will do all he can to represent them well.
Mr. Randall thanked his wife, Phyllis, who acted as his campaign manager, for her efforts.
Mr. Shinagawa said during the election period he had spoken often of his siblings and
grandparents; at this time he wished to thank his parents who have been an inspiration to him. As a
young candidate he had not spoken much of them, now as a Legislator he was pleased to be able to
formally recognize all they had done. Mr. Shinagawa also thanked his brothers for their assistance during
his campaign.

January 3, 2006
Ms. Herrera acknowledged her parents and said although not with her family any more their
vision lives on through their children. In addition, she expressed her gratitude to her siblings and partner
whose support is essential to her work. Ms. Herrera thanked her community for their continued support.
Mr. Stevenson thanked his wife, Sherry and her daughter, Amiee, for their support and noted his
wife is a dedicated County employee.
Mr. Proto said appreciation should be given to family not able to attend and the families of staff
attending the meetings for their support. He also looks forward to working with Mrs. McBean-Clairborne
in her new capacity of Vice Chair of the Legislature.

Mrs. Clairborne of Caulfield, Kansas, said she is the proud mother-in-law of Mrs. McBean-
Clairborne and wanted to share that she has seen her handle meetings in terms of the people of the

strong set of assistants for the Legislators and wanted to thank them.
Mr. Randall, District No. 9 Legislator, said he had reflected on what it would be to be a Legislator
and found some quotes he believed to be pertinent: "When we understand the other fellow's viewpoint,

Reading by Tompkins County Poet Laureate
Ms. Michelle Berry, Tompkins County Poet Laureate, spoke of her work this last year, which
included working with schools, particularly middle schools, as well as participation in local events such
as walkers for healthcare reform. Ms. Berry thanked the Legislature for the ability to be Poet Laureate for
the County, and the Community Arts Partnership for their support and work related to youth poetry and
theatrical performances.
At this time Ms. Berry read several original poems.
Privilege of the Floor by the Public
Michael Coles, Town of Lansing resident, stated he has been a State certified appraiser and
evaluator for fifteen years. He was at Office of Real Property Services for two years with Mr. Whicher.
He completed Tompkins County for speaking of the tax levy and not just the tax rate. He spoke of his
discussions to numerous municipalities relating to annual reassessment programs and is familiar with the
issue. He believes that assessments in Tompkins County are much like other areas of the country. Mr.
Coles does not agree with triennial assessment as it may appear to be a form of tax relief but isn't. He
said assessment is not the issue, taxes are. Mr. Coles urged the Legislature to stay with annual
assessments as it is the fairest to all.
Herb Engman, Town of Ithaca resident, voiced agreement with Mr. Coles and expressed a desire
to continue with annual assessments. He has followed the discussions and has found no reason to switch
away from good public policy and does not see where a triennial assessment process would benefit
property owners in the County. In addition he expressed concern about the potential loss of State dollars
that are presently awarded to the County for undertaking annual assessments. He noted with changes to a
thee -year assessment the County may fire some staff but hire more still in the third year. He believes high
assessments are not a problem, that it is positive when selling homes; taxes are the issue. Mr. Engman
believes rather than changing to triennial assessment a shift in taxes should occur.
Cathy Valentino of the Town of Ithaca spoke of her experience preparing a budget as Supervisor
for the Town of Ithaca and how concerns are raised when revenue decreases. She reviewed the present
funding received from the State for annual assessments and what the loss would be to the department if
the assessment cycle were made triennial, and the cost of an annual assessment cycle with additional staff
added, and how it would carry through to 2007. Ms. Valentino did not see where any County tax dollars
or constituent dollars would be saved by elimination of the annual assessment cycle and noted funds
would need to be somehow brought in to make up any difference.
Allen Lambert, Fall Creek resident, said he believed triennial assessment to be the most fair, with
a net benefit, and community support. He believes he has heard more discussion on a potential revenue
loss rather than a benefit to the citizens. Mr. Lambert said there will always be some inequity with regard
16
January 17, 2006
to assessments, but that a triennial assessment would permit for a better averaging system in a volatile
market. He then shared his experience regarding assessment in his neighborhood and said he believes the
process is flawed as the interior conditions of dwellings may be significantly different and should be
taken into account. He believes the Assessment Department does a good job but feels the tax burden is
enormous and if not changed will result in the Toss of families in various communities.
Presentation of the Distinguished Youth Award
Mr. Shinagawa, District No. 4 Legislator, thanked Mr. Proto for his part in creating the
Distinguished Youth Award Program, and presented the January 2006 Distinguished Youth Award to the
1 -Town S.T.O.M.P (students taking on mapping programs) Team, consisting of Casey Grey, Josh Hubble,
Sharon Gami, and Chad Hamilton [Mentor Mike Smith]. This team undertook a project to identify
community issues, set a goal, chose an action, contacted stakeholders, formulated an action plan, took
action, evaluated the results, shared the information, and recognizing the efforts of all involved. As a
result of their work, it was determined there is a need for a youth -led Teen Center.
Privilege of the Floor by Legislators
Ms. Herrera, District No. 5 Legislator, spoke of the upcoming Light in Winter events taking place
this coming weekend. These events are a marriage of art, science, and music. She said this winter event
is very exciting and stimulating, and that it provides not only County residents but tourists a wonderful
opportunity.
Ms. Kiefer, District No. 10 Legislator, reported on the recent visit to Henrietta, New York, by
Ms. Herrera and herself to view a variety of voting machines that could possibly be recommended under
the Help America Vote Act (HAVA). She said the electronic touch -screen machines were not yet fully
equipped to meet the requirements of HAVA, which the vendors explained by saying they are waiting for
the State to specify the requirements. But the group afforded the opportunity to see an optical scan
machine paired with the automark machine designed for disabled individuals, which together should
satisfy HAVA. Ms. Kiefer said our Election Commissioners have not brought in machines locally as they
are awaiting certification of machines by the State. Ms. Kiefer said although the machines indicated they
are state-of-the-art, she is not yet reassured that the new systems would operate properly.
Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Legislator, reported that the Johnson Art Museum has been awarded a
National Endowments for Humanities grant in the amount of one-half million dollars. As a result of the
grant and an additional 2 million dollars that was raised, the museum will be constructing a new north
wing. He anticipates additional construction work for local individuals as a result of this project.
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, District No. 11 Legislator, announced he would be attending the New York
State Association of Counties Legislative Conference on January 31, 2006.
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne, District No. 2 Legislator, thanked her colleagues and residents of the
County who participated in the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Day events. She enjoyed the speakers,
especially Ms. Allen from New Orleans about the devastation from Hurricane Katrina, particularly the
level of segregation regarding the level of funding and building that is occurring. She asked that people
bear this in mind and continue to offer donations. Mrs. McBean-Clairborne then reported that Ms.
Herrera received the Community Dispute Resolution Center Peace Maker Award on January 14, 2006;
she noted that it was well deserved and she is proud of Ms. Herrera's work and receipt of the award.
Presentation of Resolution from the Government Operations Committee
17
January 17, 2006
It was MOVED by Mrs. McBean-Clairbome, seconded by Ms. Robertson, and unanimously
adopted by voice vote, to lift the following resolution from the table for consideration. RESOLUTION
LIFTED FROM THE TABLE.
RESOLUTION NO. 271 - DIRECTING TOMPKINS COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF
ASSESSMENT TO REVALUE REAL PROPERTY IN THE
COUNTY IN THREE-YEAR INTERVALS (RECONSIDERED
JANUARY 19, 2006 AND ADOPTED)
It was MOVED by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, seconded by Ms. Herrera, to amend the resolution by
adding the following Resolved:
RESOLVED, further, That the Finance Director be authorized to appropriate $159,000 from the
Contingent Fund to the Assessment Department's budget Account No. 1355.43089 in order to offset the
loss of State aid resulting from the change to the three-year cycle,
Ms. Robertson was provided clarification that if approved the Assessment Department would lose
$159,000 in State aid in 2006.
A voice vote on the motion to amend the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes - 11; Noes - 4
(Legislators Booth, Joseph, Sigler, and Stevenson). AMENDMENT CARRIED.
Ms. Kiefer said she has a substitute resolution to offer; she indicated she would like to have
discussions prior to offering it.
Mr. Proto said a lot of information regarding one-year and three-year assessments has been
provided. He expressed appreciation to Mr. Shinagawa for the research and comments he provided to
fellow Legislators and asked that Mr. Shinagawa speak about the impact on rural properties.
Mr. Shinagawa shared information obtained from the New York State Office of Real Property
Services that indicated when assessments are completed on a three-year cycle, rural properties do not shift
as much as others. He qualified this statement by conducting research on the New York State Office of
Real Property Services website, discussions at previous meetings related to assessment, and a discussion
with Mr. Franklin, Assistant Director of the County Assessment Office. Based on his research and
discussions, he indicated there are two ways that triennial assessments adversely effect rural properties:
(1) since urban areas have a tendency to have more sales transactions that increase property values, the
rural property owner will be paying more toward the tax levy than they should as a result; and (2) in the
event an assessment is completed in the urban area where high-volume sales are taking place, the shift to
bring equality in the tax levy is done so by reducing the value of the rural property which places an
inequity on the rural property owner when attempting to sell real estate. Mr. Shinagawa also indicated
that areas of the County such as Fall Creek and Belle Sherman that have a lot of sales will be assessed in
the interim period and will have no benefit of the time period a triennial assessment cycle offers.
Mr. Sigler said he believes the debate over this topic to be a good debate, not contentious as some
may have indicated. He agreed to an extent with Mr. Shinagawa's statements, yet he wonders why the
County is stressing its employees to maintain an annual assessment cycle. He pointed out that even
though the County is on an annual cycle, some properties are revalued each year, while others are not due
to the uniqueness of the property (lake property, rural, etc.). He believes it comes down to comparable
assessments and that there will not be many differences. He believes if a one-year cycle is chosen
adequate staffing is required. He asked that a review of the letter from the New York State Office of Real
Property Services to the Tompkins County Department of Assessment awarding $159,000 for the 2005
annual revaluation be done to determine if they are in agreement on all four points noted; if so, vote for
18
January 17, 2006
one year. Mr. Sigler does not fully agree with them and feels if the State desires one-year assessments it
should be made permanent and appropriate funding provided.
Mr. Randall thanked Ms. Coggin and her staff for their accessibility and information provided;
and Mr. Shinagawa for his work as well. He then indicated that during the campaign assessment was a
key issue, and he like others championed the topic. Mr. Randall said as a community member
assumptions may be made based upon lack of or not enough information. Subsequently he has conversed
with assessment experts, who deal with the topic every day, and has become better informed. He said his
district is mainly rural and not considered an area to have high real estate sales, and would be hurt by
triennial assessments and he will not support it. He feels the Assessment Department does a great job,
and is understaffed. Mr. Randall believes individuals are not educated well to understand how to relate to
government.
Mr. Dennis expressed appreciation to the Assessment Department and Mr. Whicher for
information relating to assessment. He has had many individuals contact him regarding this issue and the
majority indicated a preference for a three-year cycle. With the knowledge he has learned he intends to
support the triennial assessments. He also appreciated Mr. Shinagawa's work that provided information
that included the effects on rural properties as well. He said people are just trying to get by financially.
He believes the real estate market will ultimately drive what people can sell their property for. He will
support the three-year cycle and feels it should be reviewed each year to determine how to best improve
the process.
Mr. Proto noted that at grievance days people ask what are the comparisons and he asked Mr.
Whicher what type of education and information regarding the assessment process and comparable
properties can be made available to residents. Mr. Whicher said the Assessment Department would
provide information to residents; he believes that if annual assessment is maintained there can be
improvements on the level of information and comparables for residents.
Mr. Joseph agreed this has not been a contentious debate but a long and difficult one due to the
issue of one-year versus three-year assessments being closely matched. If a three-year cycle, adjustments
would be made, if a one-year cycle, not all can be completed. He will support a three-year assessment
cycle, primarily to decrease the amount of debate regarding an issue he believes to be driven by the tax
rate rather than assessment cycle.
Ms. Herrera believes that a moral difference exists between the one-year to three-year assessment
cycles. She said areas such as Fall Creek are no longer affordable to working families and those who are
there can deal better with annual changes. She recommends listening to people who complain to their
representatives. Ms. Herrera is not sure if a three-year assessment cycle will have fewer unfair
assessments and feels any present problems may be due to cuts.
Mr. Booth was excused at this time (6:45 p.m.).
Ms. Robertson thanked Mr. Randall for his thoughts and comments. She then inquired what the
anticipated increase in cost would be if annual assessment cycles were chosen and staffing brought to an
adequate level. Mr. Whicher noted the figure used by Supervisor Valentino was an estimate he provided
if an additional appraiser and support staff position were added to the Assessment Department Staff. Ms.
Coggin indicated the $159,000 provided from the State for annual assessment requires the assessing unit
to meet certain criteria to qualify, it is not automatic. She said whether annual or triennial assessments
were chosen it would require a repositioning of staff within the department. If annual assessments were
chosen, it would require hiring at last one staff member, most likely a data collector with an approximate
cost of $29,000 plus benefits for a total approximate cost of $50,000 the first year. This would mean of
the $159,000, $109,000 would be left to offset local operating costs. Ms. Robertson did not feel it that
just adding one data collector seemed realistic, given what she has heard about the workload. Ms. Coggin
19
January 17, 2006
said that the staff had been pushed hard the last several years. If the market continues to increase there
could be a need for an appraiser as well for a total additional cost of $75,000, making to total for
additional staff $125,000 to stay with annual assessments.
Ms. Mackesey said trying to determine a fair way of doing things is difficult; annual assessments
provide aspects that are appealing; however, with the way the market values have been within the county
it is difficult to know what the future holds. In her discussions with constituents there was anxiety
expressed over the assessment issue. She is not certain that if the County went to a triennial assessment
that would not be distortions, however, she feels it is important to listen to constituents. If a one-year
assessment cycle were chosen she would support additional staff; however, she is in support of a three-
year assessment cycle.
Ms. Kiefer spoke of Ms. Mackesey's comments regarding taxpayer anxiety. She believes it is an
anxiety regarding taxes rather than assessment and taxies is what the Legislature should focus on, rather
than changing the assessment cycle. Ms. Kiefer noted the Assessment Department has done a good job of
providing formal and informal meetings to clarify the differences between assessment and tax levy. She
spoke of the reasons individuals gave to remain with annual assessment, the memo referred to from the
New York State Office of Real Property Services, and feels that communication is good. With regard to
grievance days, she noted they are informal at that point, and also stated that individuals who feel it is
important may invite assessors into their homes.
It was MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Ms. Herrera, to offer the following substitute
resolution:
RESOLUTION NO. - DIRECTING TOMPKINS COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF ASSESSMENT
TO REVALUE REAL PROPERTY IN THE COUNTY IN ONE-YEAR
INTERVALS
WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 270 of 2005 the Tompkins County Legislature adopted a local
law providing that real property in the County shall be revalued at a uniform percentage of fair market
value and reviewed by the professional appraiser staff of the Department of Assessment at time periods
determined by resolution of the County Legislature, and
WHEREAS, the County Legislature believes that continuing with a time period of one year
serves the best interest of the County and its residents, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Government Operations and the Budget and Capital
Committees, That all property in the County of Tompkins shall be revalued at a uniform percentage of
fair market value and reviewed by the professional appraisers staff of the Department of Assessment
annually.
SEQR ACTION: TYPE 11-20
Mr. Shinagawa said although it is unsettling to get assessment notices, a triennial cycle will not
prevent this from occurring and asked how often this could occur. Ms. Coggin said notices would be sent
annually as changes occur, that it would be the same as with the annual cycle, however adjustments to the
100 percent would occur. Mr. Shinagawa asked if it were possible to indicate how the past three years
would have been handled if on a three-year cycle and was informed it is difficult to have projected as
many factors are considered in a single assessment. Mr. Shinagawa said he believes people are under a
misconception that a triennial cycle will eliminate annual notices, residents think they will have relief
when in fact it does not occur.
Mr. Hattery thanked the City Legislators for pointing out what may occur with slower moving
rural properties. He feels it is important to deal with administrative reform to cut costs; that it should be
moved on and not assume changes in assessment will change tax bills. He is not in support of a three -
20
January 17, 2006
year cycle as he believes the issue is County spending, not the schedule of assessments. Mr. Hattery
would like to seek ways to reduce costs and develop a policy to make it easier to structure and file a
grievance.
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr spoke of a survey of other counties by New York State Association of
Counties that indicated Tompkins County is not alone regarding this issue. He stated twelve counties that
do three-year assessments have indicated they are contemplating a switch to an annual assessment
program, to give relief — or the illusion of relief.
Ms. Robertson did not feel funding for a three-year cycle would be eliminated. She will support a
three-year cycle, noting residents' frustration and anxiety of receiving an annual letter.
A voice vote on the motion to approve the substitute resolution resulted as follows: Ayes - 7
(Legislators Hattery, Herrera, Kiefer, Koplinka-Loehr, Proto, Shinagawa, and Randall); Noes - 7
(Legislators Dennis, Joseph, Mackesey, McBean-Clairborne, Robertson, Sigler, and Stevenson); Excused
- 1 (Legislator Booth). MOTION FAILED.
It was MOVED by Mr. Proto to amend the original resolution by adding an additional resolved as
follows:
RESOLVED, further, That the Assessment Department will move to review the grievance
process with the intent of expediting it.
There was no second to the motion. MOTION FAILED FOR LACK OF SECOND.
A brief discussion occurred relating to the possibility of a tie vote. It was explained the resolution
would require eight votes to pass. Mr. Whicher noted the Legislature needed to determine the course of
action for the Assessment Department immediately in order to properly carry out their duties.
A roll call vote on the original resolution resulted as follows: Ayes - 7 (Legislators Dennis,
Joseph, Mackesey, McBean-Clairborne, Sigler, Stevenson, and Robertson); Noes - 7 Legislators Hattery,
Herrera, Kiefer, Koplinka-Loehr, Proto, Randall, and Shinagawa); Excused - 1 (Legislator Booth).
RESOLUTION FAILED.
WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 270 of 2005 the Tompkins County Legislature adopted a local
law providing that real property in the County shall be revalued at a uniform percentage of fair market
value and reviewed by the professional appraiser staff of the Department of Assessment at time periods
determined by resolution of the County Legislature, and
WHEREAS, the County Legislature believes that a time period of three years serves the best
interest of the County and its residents, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Government Operations and the Budget and Capital
Committees, That all property in the County of Tompkins shall be revalued at a uniform percentage of
fair market value and reviewed by the professional appraisers staff of the Department of Assessment at
three-year time intervals.
SEQR ACTION: TYPE 11-20
A discussion occurred regarding the need to resolve the assessment issue. It was noted that it
would require the full Legislature to be present and that a meeting date would be set to act upon the
matter.

RESOLUTION NO. 5 - APPOINTMENTS TO INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY
MOVED by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Mr. Dennis.
It was MOVED by Mr. Proto, seconded by Mr. Randall, to nominate Jean McPheeters to the
position of Chair of the Industrial Development Agency.
Ms. Robertson stated this nomination was also made at the Committee meeting and failed by a 3-
2 vote. She spoke of Mr. Joseph's leadership ability and the importance of his leadership during this year
when issues regarding the City density policy will be present. She believes Mr. Joseph to be the best
choice. In addition, she said the Industrial Development Agency is a County agency and it is appropriate
to have a County representative in the position; she does not believe it would be appropriate for an
individual representing private businesses fill the position.
Mr. Proto stated his nomination was in no way disrespectful to Mr. Joseph. He said he has
worked with Ms. McPheeters in a number of capacities and knows her level of involvement at both the
State and Federal levels as well as her exposure locally with the Board of Cooperative Education Services
(BOCES). Mr. Proto believes she brings a countywide perspective as well as a business perspective, and
would provide exemplary leadership in a number of areas. Mr. Proto stated he did not have a recollection
that the Chair of the Industrial Development Agency was recommended by a Standing Committee such as
Planning, Development and Environmental Quality; that the Legislature is the body who appoints a Chair.
Mr. Joseph indicated past appointments have been done in the same fashion as the resolution before the
Legislature.
In response to Mr. Sigler's question, it was noted that the recommended individuals not on the
Legislature were Ms. McPheeters, Mr. Cogan, and Mr. Furman.
Mr. Dennis said in most other situations he could support the recommendation of Ms.
McPheeters, however, his sense is that Mr. Joseph has done a fine job as a leader and he will support him.
At this time Mr. Proto requested and was granted permission to withdraw his motion. MOTION
WITHDRAWN.
A voice vote on the resolution as presented resulted as follows: Ayes - 13; Noes - 1 (Legislator
McBean-Clairborne); Excused - 1 (Legislator Booth). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, Section 856 of the General Municipal Law authorized that the Tompkins County

COUNTY IN THREE-YEAR INTERVALS

Ms. Herrera, to add the following Resolved: "RESOLVED, further, That the Finance Director be
authorized to appropriate $159,000 from the Contingent Fund to the Assessment Department's budget
Account No. 1355.43089 in order to offset the loss of State aid resulting from the change to the three-year
cycle,". A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 11 (Legislators Dennis, Hattery, Herrera, Kiefer,
Koplinka-Loehr, Mackesey, McBean-Clairborne, Proto, Randall, Robertson, and Shinagawa); Noes - 4
(Legislators Booth, Joseph, Sigler, and Stevenson). MOTION CARRIED.
It was MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, to approve the following
substitute resolution:
RESOLUTION NO. - DIRECTING TOMPKINS COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF ASSESSMENT
TO REVALUE REAL PROPERTY IN THE COUNTY IN ONE-YEAR
INTERVALS
WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 270 of 2005 the Tompkins County Legislature adopted a local
law providing that real property in the County shall be revalued at a uniform percentage of fair market
value and reviewed by the professional appraiser staff of the Department of Assessment at time periods
determined by resolution of the County Legislature, and
WHEREAS, the County Legislature believes that continuing with a time period of one year
serves the best interest of the County and its residents, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Government Operations and the Budget and Capital
Committees, That all property in the County of Tompkins shall be revalued at a uniform percentage of
fair market value and reviewed by the professional appraisers staff of the Department of Assessment
annually.
SEQR ACTION: TYPE 11-20
A voice vote on the substitute resolution above resulted as follows: Ayes - 7 (Legislators Hattery,
Herrera, Koplinka-Loehr, Kiefer, Proto, Randall, and Shinagawa); Noes - 8 (Legislators Booth, Dennis,
Joseph, Mackesey, McBean-Clairborne, Robertson, Sigler, and Stevenson). MOTION FAILED.
Further discussion followed and Mr. Proto stated that he supports one-year assessments. He said
the problem is the tax rate not the assessments. The process needs to be streamlined for people who want
to protest their assessment. Individuals are stressed with having to try to provide the necessary
information and attend the grievance hearings to appeal their assessment. He also feels there needs to be
continued education of the process and that the Assessment Department needs to continue to provide
26
January 19, 2006
information to help individuals as much as possible. Mr. Whicher assured Mr. Proto that this would
happen.
Ms. Robertson requested the Government Operations Committee to look at this and the letter that
is sent out to individuals about the assessment. Ms. Herrera said the Committee has talked about this and
commented there are restrictions on what can go on the notices.
A voice vote resulted as follows on the resolution: Ayes - 8 (Legislators Booth, Dennis, Joseph,
Mackesey, McBean-Clairborne, Robertson, Sigler, and Stevenson); Noes - 7 (Legislators Hattery,
Herrera, Kiefer, Koplinka-Loehr, Proto, Randall, and Shinagawa). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.

Privilege of the Floor by the Public
Matthew Braun, Executive Director of The History Center, said he and Mr. Suter, Chairman of
the Board of Directors for The History Center, were pleased to attend the meeting and share information
on The History Center and the newly displayed quilt from the Mulholland Quilt Collections.
Approximately every six months The History Center will bring a new quilt to display. This quilt had
been created by Mrs. Wright and Mr. Coulter's combined 5th and 6th grade class at West Hill Elementary
School during the 1975-1976 school year to commemorate the United States Bicentennial. Each square is
the year the state joined the union, the name of the state, the order in which it joined, an image of the state
territory with the capital city marked, the state plant or flower, and the state bird. Each student working
on the square added his or her name to the block. Mrs. Wright's daughter, Carolyn Wright Corson,
donated the quilt to the collection in January 2006.
Mr. Suter thanked the Legislature for the opportunity to speak of The History Center. He said
that under Mr. Braun's leadership The History Center has made a marvelous transition and has become
better known, with many positive changes taking place. Mr. Suter reported that in 2005, over 900
individuals did research within their library and that over 1,000 fourth-grade students participated in
historical recreation of school days in the eight -cornered schoolhouse. In addition, the student -historian
program provides the opportunity for high-school students to research and write published articles about
local history and other events such as Hurricane Katrina. Mr. Suter indicated that although The History
Center is progressing toward its goal of a self-sustaining funding stream, it is not yet to that point and still
relies on the County to assist in preserving the history of Tompkins County.
Ms. Blanchard, Executive Director of the Municipal Electric and Gas Alliance (MEGA), reported
that former Executive Director Stuart Stein has vacated that position within MEGA to undertake other
initiatives and ideas for the consortium. She provided brochures to the Legislators with basic information
on MEGA, which is a not-for-profit organization, noting that presently 8 member counties are being
served with several more to join, 85 municipal governments and schools, and over 1,000 businesses, not -
for -profits, and other organizations. At this time, a total of over 5,000,000 kWh have been purchased at a
fixed rate for a savings of $1,877,000 over an eight-month period, of which $120,550 was saved by
Tompkins County. Ms. Blanchard stated her purpose in attending tonight was to provide a check from
MEGA in the amount of $2,000 toward the purchase of wind energy for the County.
Ms. Blanchard said she is proud to make a five-year commitment with the County for the
purchase of wind energy and spoke of an article appearing in last week's Ithaca Journal about the
purchase. Tompkins County and the City of Ithaca are the first City and County pair in the State to make
this commitment. She said the County will be receiving additional $2,000 payments in 2007 and 2008.
John Bentkowski, City of Ithaca resident, provided Legislators with copies of a letter he sent to
the State Attorney General's office relating to a legal question of voting authority for the Industrial
Development Agency, and one letter to Mr. Stamm of Tompkins County Area Development regarding the
28
February 7, 2006
College Circle Apartment abatements. In addition, Mr. Bentkowski offered suggestions on ways to cut
expenses within the County, primarily through the reductions of staffing in the Administration and
Assessment offices, and reducing the number of seats on the Legislature.
Privilege of the Floor by Legislators
Ms. Robertson, District No. 13 Legislator, spoke of mail she received that appears to be from the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that contained information relating to flood insurance
coverage as well as providing the name of a particular agent in Elmira offering this coverage. She has
made calls to attempt to determine the origin of the document and whether it is endorsed by FEMA. She
said if it is endorsed, she questions the inclusion of a private business being promoted by taxpayer dollars.
Ms. Robertson then spoke of the death of Betty Friedan, author of "The Feminine Mystique" and women's
rights activist. Ms. Robertson said Ms. Friedan's insights in 1963 rang true for millions of women and
how she was a catalyst in the women's movement.
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne, District No. 2 Legislator, thanked Ms. Robertson for remembering the
importance of Ms. Friedan. She then asked that people also remember Coretta Scott King, wife of the late
Martin Luther King. She spoke of February being Black History Month and how Ms. King continued on
with the work of her husband and that her work will be missed. Mrs. McBean-Clairborne provided
members of the Legislature with a Black History Month bookmark developed at the Greater Ithaca
Activities Center (GIAC) and asked that the information be shared with others. She shared a quote from
Marian Anderson, a black vocal performer, "Prejudice is like a hair across your cheek. You can't see it,
you can't find it with your fingers, but you keep brushing at it because the feel of it is irritating."
Mr. Dennis, District No. 15 Legislator, expressed appreciation to The History Center for sharing
information. He said as a former educator, he had firsthand knowledge of what a wonderful resource the
eight -sided schoolhouse was. He is happy to see that The History Center is moving ahead and
reinventing themselves.
Mr. Shinagawa, District No. 4 Legislator, expressed appreciation to the student population and
residents of his district. He said it is the union between the long-term residents and student population
that provide the two qualities of wisdom and idealism. Mr. Shinagawa then spoke of how he believes
there is a revolutionary change, taking place throughout local government, with an increase in
representatives below the age of 25. He believes that Tompkins County has a new vibrant energy with a
younger generation that cares about its community. He believes the new term "social investing" should
become a common term relating to providing funding to programs that will save the County money as
well as help reap rewards in the future. Mr. Shinagawa stated that although he is young, he is committed
to the entire County and will be considerate of the rich diversity in the social, economic, and geographic
background of the County.
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, District No. 11 Legislator, reminded residents of the referendum election for
the Tompkins County Public Library taking place.
Ms. Kiefer, District No. 10 Legislator, spoke of the organizational meeting of a Fingerlakes
chapter of New Yorkers for Verified Voting organizational meeting taking place this evening. She said
this organization is dedicated to assist in providing information to help the State make the right choices
with relation to the Help America Vote Act.
Report from a Municipal Official
Ms. Coles, City of Ithaca Council Member, introduced herself to the new members of the
Legislature. She spoke of the City holding a Public Forum to discuss the proposal of renaming State
Street to Martin Luther King Boulevard. She said between 135 and 150 individuals participated, with
29
February 7, 2006
numerous viewpoints on the issue. The City of Ithaca Board of Public Works will review the information
as they are responsible to determine whether the name should be changed. Ms. Coles believes the name
should be changed.
Ms. Coles reported the Mayor has held two meetings with Common Council to discus the City
density policy that was submitted to the Industrial Development Agency. She believes it provides the
ability to provide environmental and conceptual foresight to determine the future of the City.
She reported that work is complete on the proposal for Southwest Park and she will be providing
a copy of the final plan.
Ms. Coles also reported that the City is still considering what to do with regard to the water
treatment plant and is awaiting word from the consultant that is undertaking a review of two possibilities.
Also under discussion is the panhandling ordinance; merchants and shoppers on the Commons are feeling
imposed by behaviors and an important determination will be the definition of "aggressive panhandling".
Chair's Report
Mr. Joseph reported the resolution requesting the State to authorize legislation for a real estate
transfer tax is being offered by Assemblywoman Lifton and Senator Winner in the current session. He
will inform the Legislature of its progress. He then reported on his attendance at the New York State
Association of Counties (NYSAC) Legislative Conference this past week. Mr. Joseph reported there was
a great deal of discussion regarding the budget and health care costs. He said one impact of the cap on
local share for Medicaid is that the State is now responsible for increased costs. As a result, there are
proposals for cutting the Medicaid costs within the budget, primarily in the reimbursement rates for
hospitals and nursing homes. Many counties are concerned as they hold ownership of these facilities and
it would be another way the State would pass the cost to the local level. In addition, discussions took
place relating to the parole population in local jails. Many individuals paroled by the State are placed in
local facilities when a parole violation occurs. The result is the local government is responsible for
housing them until a conviction is made. Often they are re -paroled and the process repeats itself for
several years. Locally, ten to fifteen percent of the population is in this category. A top priority for
NYSAC this year is to get the State to take over the responsibility for them in some manner, either by
paying for them or holding them in a State facility.
Ms. Herrera reported on her attendance at a Census Workshop at the NYSAC Conference. She
found it interesting and intriguing to see the challenges of counting the population and the manner in
which the County's GIS information is used to calculate figures in the census. Ms. Herrera also reported
her attendance at a labor workshop that allowed her to learn more about the Public Employee Relation
Board (PERB).
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne was excused at this time (6:17 p.m.).
Mr. Booth asked if any information was provided regarding the New York City school payments.
Mr. Joseph said the Governor appealed the lawsuit and that nothing additional has occurred.
Ms. Robertson requested clarification of the Medicaid cap. It was explained that the County cost
increases are at a fixed rate, with any increases or decreases passed to the State.
Ms. Robertson then inquired what information was provided from the jail construction panel. Mr.
Joseph reported that he had been a panelist. The three Commissioners were not present and had sent staff
to participate in the discussions. The discussions included the role of the State Corrections office and
what they have done the past several years. He said they made a reasonable point that variances were
meant to be a temporary measure to deal with a problem and that their office is pushing to take care of the
30
February 7, 2006
problems that led to the variances. Mr. Joseph expressed his thoughts that the State Corrections
Commissioners should accept the process of reducing jail population versus building a larger structure.
He said the State has the authority to make a decision to withdraw variances, however, they do not have
the authority to tell counties what size jail to build and force them to do so. Mr. Joseph said since the
State Corrections office can prevent construction projects as they require State approval they have done
so. The panel felt that the State should not have control over size, but rather a minimum standard and
how they are operated. In general, the State could say they will not permit overcrowded jails and let the
County make a choice of building on or boarding out.
Mr. Joseph told the panel since our county has not gone ahead with the State recommendations
for construction we have undergone what some would consider petty harassment by the Commissioner's
office. Ms. Herrera said that it was pointed out that the Legislators of the counties, as elected officials
responsible for the budget, should make the decisions necessary regarding jail operation. She felt this was
a significant statement to make.
Ms. Robertson asked whether the group of county personnel and NYSAC officials meeting to
discuss the matter had made progress. Mr. Joseph said that this group appears to be undertaking the
parolee issue.
Chair's Appointment
Mr. Joseph made the following appointment:
Extension Service
Greg Stevenson; term expires December 31, 2006
County Administrator's Report
Mr. Whicher requested an executive session to discuss CSEA Blue Collar Contract Negotiations.
He then reported that two meetings have taken place by the Deputy County Administrator Search Team.
There has been extensive advertising and approximately fifty applications have been received. Mr.
Whicher said Legislators interested in reviewing these applications may do so in the Personnel Office.
He said there is a summary sheet if they desire to use one.
Mr. Whicher announced the resignation of Wendy Skinner, Public Information Officer, who will
be taking a position at Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit (TCAT). He spoke very highly of the work
and recommendations received by Ms. Skinner and wished her well and announced there will be a
reception for her on Friday, February 10th.
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr asked if the Legislature would be involved in the interviews of the final three
candidates for the Deputy County Administrator position. Mr. Whicher said there had been mixed
interest in doing so. Mr. Joseph said the final candidates would meet the Legislature, and those who
desire earlier involvement may undertake the application reviews.
County Attorney's Report
Mr. Wood did not have a report.
Finance Director's Report
Mr. Squires reported he has been busy with preparation of the anticipated large response to the
bids for the Public Safety Communication Project. In addition, he will be undertaking the financing for
bonds next month, which will be subject to a rating review. He noted the County has the highest rating
31
February 7, 2006
available in Central New York, and the second highest in the State. He said although all the finance
reports for the year are not yet completed he is optimistic that the County's rating will be maintained. Mr.
Squires said he hopes to have all work completed related to the Energy Performance Contract resolution
appearing on the agenda by the end of the month. In addition, he noted the bond rating will be
approximately the same as for a long-term loan, which is beneficial to the County. The Public Safety
Communication Project funding will be a lease arrangement that will provide more flexibility than a bond
agreement. Mr. Whicher clarified it is actually a lease -purchase financing arrangement.

Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Government Operations Committee

business seen on the agenda this evening. In addition, the Committee discussed their 2006 goals and
began scheduling of departmental tours which will include The History Center. The Committee will meet
next on February 15, 2006, at 3:00 p.m.
RESOLUTION NO. 16 - APPROVAL OF 2006 SUCCESSION OF MEMBERS OF THE COUNTY
LEGISLATURE TO SERVE IN THE ABSENCE OF THE CHAIR AND
VICE CHAIR
It was MOVED by Ms. Herrera, seconded by Mr. Stevenson. Ms. Herrera noted the order of
succession is different than the 2005 order.
It was MOVED by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, seconded by Ms. Robertson, to amend the order of
succession. Ms. Kiefer expressed opposition to the amendment, stating a good deal of discussion had
occurred at the Committee meeting regarding the appropriate order.
Ms. Kiefer then said the Chair of the Health and Human Services Committee is the most senior
Legislator; as this resolution is to be used in the event of an emergency it makes sense to have an
individual with extensive experience make the decision. She would not support the motion to amend.
Ms. Herrera said although she voted in favor of the original resolution at Committee she believes the
substitute resolution more closely reflects the needs the County would have in the event a successor is
required.
Ms. Herrera stated she would accept the amendment as friendly, and Mr. Stevenson also agreed.
A voice vote on the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes - 9 (Legislators Booth, Dennis, Hattery,
Herrera, Joseph, Koplinka-Loehr, Mackesey, Robertson, and Shinagawa); Noes - 3 (Legislators Kiefer,
Sigler, and Stevenson); Excused - 3 (Legislators McBean-Clairborne, Proto, and Randall).
RESOLUTION ADOPTED.

Public Information Office and said she would be missed. He then spoke of a budget summary meeting
being conducted by the Fiscal Policy Institute on February 23rd from 4:00 pm - 5:00 p.m. at the Unitarian
Church.
RESOLUTION NO. 17 - AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF $10,000,000 SERIAL BONDS OF
THE COUNTY OF TOMPKINS, NEW YORK, TO PAY PART OF THE
COST OF ROAD AND BRIDGE RECONSTRUCTION OR
IMPROVEMENT AT VARIOUS LOCATIONS THROUGHOUT THE
COUNTY
It was MOVED by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, seconded by Mr. Dennis. Ms. Kiefer questioned the
purpose of the language in the first "WHEREAS" paragraph relating to the State Environmental Quality
Review. Mr. Squires indicated that it is standard technical language for this type of resolution and that it
implies that the County will do all that is required under the law. Mr. Wood noted that the term "precedent"
indicates that all conditions that need to be satisfied for something to occur; that there are no conditions that
have not been met. In addition, he said companies that finance request a bond counsel to provide a letter
stating that the bonds are satisfactory and meet the requirement for tax-exempt financing. The bond counsels
prepare the resolutions as part of this and use a standard form. He does not believe there is any problem
using the language contained within the resolution. It was noted that no work has been done on a State
Environmental Quality Review at this time and none is required. Ms. Kiefer asked that in the future the bond
counsel be asked to not single out SEQR language when it is not pertinent to a particular bonding issuance.
A roll call vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 12; Noes - 0; Excused - 3 (Legislators McBean-
Clairborne, Proto, and Randall). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.

SEQR ACTION: TYPE 11-20
Explanation from Finance Director: Over the next two years the County will be working on several large
roadway projects which are primarily financed by Federal and State aid. It is projected that several
projects could be underway at the same time, and if this happens it would be difficult for the County to
advance the cash outlay for the improvements without impairing liquidity requirements of the
organization.
This bond resolution would provide the authorization to borrow up to $10 million to finance the cash
needs of the projects. The grant reimbursement on the projects would be pledged to pay down the debt.
The cost of the borrowing would be short-term expense limited to interest on the advanced grant funds.
Actual borrowing will not occur until firms' bids are received on the project for which we are advancing
funds. We anticipate the cost of any such borrowing in 2006 would be at a rate of 3.5 percent.
Federal Highway Program Projects 2006-2008: McLean -Cortland Road and Bridge, Coddington Road
Reconstruction, Ringwood Road Bridge, Warren Road Reconstruction, Newfield Depot Bridge, Station
Road Culvert Replacement, and Hanshaw Road.

Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, Chair, reported the Committee held a meeting which led to a Department
Head meeting on February 1 with a facilitator to discuss dynamics within the organization that are
fundamental to move toward long-range planning. He understands it was productive and that another

43
February 7, 2006
the role of a Legislator as it related to department heads, communications, etc. At this time there has not
been a date set for the next meeting. Information obtained will be utilized on how to proceed further.
Report from the Public Safety Committee
Mr. Booth, Vice Chair, said the Committee met February 2nd, at which time the head of the
Assigned Counsel Program reported they have been provided a modest increase from the State as a result
of State allocations. Also a letter received from the State regarding the jail population was reviewed and
information provided on what it would mean to the County. Mr. Shurtleff provided an update on the

dispatch operations and how to make the system more efficient.
Ms. Kiefer asked for additional information relating to the jail population letter. Mr. Booth said
the letter referred to a 58 -inmate level, a level permitted without the variances, which is a guideline. This
is basically a reserve level of eighty-five percent to allow for a potential influx, although it was not clear
what figure the percentage related to. Mr. Joseph said the 58 represents the number of inmates
recommended by the State to house if the County did not take on a construction project. At this time the
State is requesting the Sheriff provide daily reporting of inmates and their housing location. Sheriff
Meskill will provide this information. Ms. Robertson noted that due to building modifications the
capacity figure went from 73 to 75. Initially the State had said the County would be allowed 8 more beds
and then gave three, with one being designated as a holding cell.
Report from the Workforce Diversity and Inclusion Committee
There was no report.
Report and Presentation of Appointment(s) from the Health and Human Services Committee
Mr. Shinagawa, Vice Chair, reported the Committee met on January 31st, during which the
resolutions and appointments before the Legislature were acted upon. In addition, the Committee heard
from Irene Stein, Office for the Aging Director, about the County's Single Point of Entry for Long -Term
Care Services program, and directives from the State to appoint the lead agency for this operation. She
strongly recommended that the County continue to be the lead agency as it provides unbiased, objective,
and consistent information about what long-term options are available in the County. Ms. Stein will be
retiring at the end of the month and members of the Committee thanked her for her hard work and
contributions to the County.
The Departments of Youth Services, and Workforce Development have undertaken discussions to
determine the most effective ways to work with the Department of Social Services to find appropriate
employment and critical educational services for youth. Ms. Zahler, Director, spoke of her continued
involvement in meetings relating to youth gang activities. Ongoing discussions have been occurring to
determine the best course of action to stem this type of activity throughout the County.
The Health Department reported work continues on the pandemic plan for the County. Ms. Cole,
Public Health Director, attended a meeting in Albany that will provide information to assist in the
completion of this plan.
Mental Health reported on the Single Room Occupancy project that will secure thirty beds within
the County. Property has been purchased between Third and Fourth Streets for this project that will be
completed in 2007.

February 7, 2006
The Human Services Coalition reported the start of the UrgentRx program that will assist
individuals exiting the hospital emergency room to purchase necessary prescriptions in the event they
have no insurance or financial ability to do so.
The next meeting will take place on March 1st, at which time the Committee will review
information relating to the Water System Fees as well as review the 2006 proposed Committee Goals.
Appointment
It was MOVED by Mr. Shinagawa, seconded by Mr. Dennis, to take the Board of Health
Legislative appointment back to the Committee for further discussion. Mr. Shinagawa stated he was not
aware of a Legislator holding another seat on the Board of Health and wanted time to check the protocol.
Ms. Herrera said this question has been raised before and she feels further discussion is good. Mr. Wood,
County Attorney, said the County Charter and New York State Law outline who the representatives on
the Board of Heath must be. He said there is an appointee from the Legislature and other open seats. He
believes Mr. Proto presently holds a seat that is not specified for a Legislator. He recommended the
Committee have copies of the Charter to review.
Ms. Kiefer inquired if it was possible to appoint Mr. Proto to the Legislature's seat on the Board
of Health; Mr. Wood felt he would be required to resign the consumer seat first. Mr. Wood provided
historical information regarding Mr. Proto's appointment to the consumer seat, noting at the time it was
difficult to fill the seats as required and Mr. Proto offered to fill this seat as another member of the
Legislature filled the seat allotted to them. Mr. Booth asked what the rationale was to send the
appointment back to Committee. Mr. Joseph said he believes some would like to see Mr. Proto take the
Legislative seat and allow another individual to have the consumer seat.
A voice vote to send the appointment back to Committee for further discussion resulted as follows:
Ayes - 12; Noes - 0; Excused - 3 (Legislators McBean-Clairbome, Proto, and Randall).
Report from the Facilities and Infrastructure Committee
Ms. Kiefer, Vice Chair, reported the Committee met on January 24th and discussed goals. In
addition, a general overview of the various divisions was provided by Mr. Marx, followed by each Division
head's overview. Information included upcoming contracts at the airport, including a verbal approval of a
contract extension with USAir until December 2007; the Obstruction Clearance Project is moving forward
but due to other FAA obligations will not proceed until 2007; the Facilities Division's desire to complete
preventive maintenance which has not occurred in the past several years; updates on the Energy Performance
Contract with Johnson Controls indicated Phase I will be completed later this month, and Phase II which will
include HVAC upgrades to the Courthouse Complex should be completed in July 2006, with a review of the
information to determine how the contract is performing to occur in July 2007; proposed work schedules for
Highway Division; the reduction of waste stream and change in traffic patterns at the Solid Waste Division,
and additional plastics added to the recyclables. Ms. Kiefer pointed out that members of the Legislature all
received a post card outlining the new fee structure for bringing waste to the facility. She then spoke of the
Weights and Measure Division, noting it is only a single individual who is responsible to inspect all the
various measuring devices throughout the County. As a result of this, it is not possible to complete package
inspections. This past year an individual from the State assisted in this particular area. Ms. Kiefer said the
Committee was also looking for a common time to provide a tour of County facilities to interested
Legislators. In the next two months, the Committee will meet at the various division locations as well.
Report from the Planning, Development and Environmental Quality Committee
Ms. Robertson, Chair, reported the Committee met on January 19th, various agencies and department
heads provided an overview of their operations. A discussion regarding bus passes for County employees
45
February 7, 2006
took place following recent articles in the County Corridors newsletter. Following the discussion it was
determined that the matter be reviewed, with notification to the Government Operations, Personnel, Budget,
and Planning, Development and Environmental Quality Committees. In addition, Mr. Marx informed the
Committee of a Memorandum of Understanding with the Town of Dryden, in relation to the purchase of
development rights (PDR) on a farm in Dryden. A PDR application in the Town of Lansing is being worked
through the State funding. The application for a farm in the Town of Dryden is being prepared, with an
arrangement for the Town and County to co -hold the easement. The Town will be the lead agency. Ms.
Robertson reported the Strategic Tourism Planning Board brought a proposal from Chrys Gardner suggesting
a modification of the way the Community Beautification Grants are provided. This recommendation is in
response to information from communities that indicated the grants are too small to undertake most projects.
The proposal would set a schedule to complete the beautification process in three towns each year, over a
three-year period, and still require the matching funds for up to $2,000. Members of the Committee felt an
advisory committee should include more rural representation. The next Planning, Development and
Environmental Quality Committee meeting will be on February 17th at 3:00 p.m.
Report from the Personnel Committee
Mr. Dennis, Chair, reported the Committee will meet on February 8th and will discuss health
benefits. He also reported that arbitration for Road Patrol will take place on February 10th and is expected to

follows: Ayes - 11; Noes - 1 (Legislator Booth); Excused - 3 (Legislators McBean-Clairborne, Proto, and

Privilege of the Floor by the Public
Timothy Bangs of Bangs Ambulance Service and Craig Wilkins of WHCU Radio Broadcasting
presented a "Distinguished Citizen Award" to Michael Trunkes, Craig Beierle, and Judy Rosen for their
quick actions during a recent incident during which Francis Russell, a patron of the Boat Yard Grill, was
choking. These citizens took action to open the airway of the victim, perform the Heimlich maneuver,
and initiate CPR (cardio -pulmonary resuscitation) on the victim who was in distress from choking. They
successfully opened the airway and returned the individual to a state of breathing prior to the arrival of the
ambulance. They were commended for their actions and response during this critical time.
Jay Franklin, Assistant Director of Assessment, urged the public to submit their real property tax
exemption renewal applications to the Assessment Department by March 1, 2006, and noted the Office
has received 300-400 applications less than it did last year at this time. Mr. Franklin said the Department
contracted for an automatic dialer system to make 1,000 phone calls to residents reminding them of this.
He said the system took approximately ten minutes to make the calls and at a cost much less than it would
have been for staff to do the work.
Privilege of the Floor by Legislators
Ms. Herrera, District No. 4 Legislator, thanked Bangs Ambulance and Cayuga Radio for their
recognition of these individuals and the service they provided. She said she will be presenting the
Distinguished Youth Award at the second meeting in March and asked that nominations be submitted to
the Clerk of the Legislature.
Ms. Robertson, District No. 13 Legislator, reported on a new resource that is available at the
Tompkins County Public Library entitled Rosetta Stone that is an interactive software program that
teaches any of 29 languages. She said it is a very interesting program that is available to any holder of a
Library card. This program was made possible through the Friends of the Public Library.
Mr. Joseph, Chair and District No. 12 Legislator, reported on another incident of violence in the
community in which racism played a role. He said the details are not yet clear; however, it is clear that a
white person shouted racial epithets and stabbed a black person, which makes it more than just a conflict
between two individuals. He said he recently saw a survey about racial attitudes in this country that
showed white people tend to see racism as an individual thing. They see racism as acts of individuals
behaving badly. People of color tend to see racism very differently and as something that is social and
institutional and consists of much more than individual acts and where individual acts take place within
the context of social support and acceptance. Mr. Joseph said as a community we cannot do anything
about the events that have already happened but we can and should ask what made this student think that
it is alright to shout racial slurs. The question should also be asked of why did the situation escalate into
48
February 21, 2006
violence and what can be done to remove the social support and acceptance that allows such incidents to
keep happening in our community.
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne, District No. 2 Legislator, thanked Mr. Joseph for his comments. She
announced as part of the conclusion of Black History Month there will be a local documentary film being
shown at the History Center on February 23rd entitled "Freedom Call". She also announced that a
community talent show will take place at GIAC on February 24th and is free and open to the public.
Mr. Randall, District No. 9 Legislator, thanked his colleagues, family, and staff for the concern
shown for his health over the last couple of weeks and particularly thanked Ms. Kiefer for her support.
Mr. Randall said going through trials and tribulations often serve as a reminder to appreciate what you
have.
Chair's Report
Mr. Joseph also reported on the Intermunicipal Committee that meets periodically. He said that
group has been discussing the subject of health insurance. At the next meeting a representative of Ontario
County will be in attendance and explain options that County has explored in the past and the presentation
should provide Tompkins County with valuable information. Mr. Joseph said all legislators are welcome
to attend.
County Administrator's Report
Mr. Whicher announced the last day of work for Irene Stein, Director of the Office for the Aging,
will be February 28th. An Open House will be held at the Department on February 24th from 3 p.m. to 5
p.m. and there will also be an evening event in Ms. Stein's honor held March 15th. He quoted from an
article that appeared in the Senior Circle in which it stated "Irene has set a standard in the community for
excellence when it comes to the needs of seniors. In our office, here on Tioga Street, she will be missed.
We have been the beneficiaries of what Barbara Lifton calls her "candid assertiveness", her fine sense of
humor, as well as her passion for chocolate". Mr. Whicher said Ms. Stein is a mentor, a mom, an
advisor, and a great colleague and department head who will be missed.
Mr. Whicher requested confirmation of the appointment of Lisa Holmes as Interim Director of
the Office for the Aging.
It was MOVED by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Mr. Proto, and unanimously adopted by voice
vote by members present, to confirm the County Administrator's appointment of Lisa Holmes as Interim
Director of the Office for the Aging effective March 1, 2006.
Report from the County Attorney
Mr. Wood reported renovations of the County Attorney's Office are now complete with staff
having much more efficient working space. He extended an invitation to Legislators to visit the Office
and tour the space. He noted the renovations were financed with unanticipated revenues and not taxpayer
dollars.
Report from the Finance Director
Mr. Squires reported January sales tax receipts were 11 percent higher than last year. He stated
there is some indication that there was some carry-over from December due to some delays in processing
at the State level. He said the transit strike might have been a contributor to that.
49
February 21, 2006
Mr. Squires displayed the official financial statement for the latest bond offering in the amount of
$7 million that will be issued in March. He explained that process requires the County to go through a
rating review, during which time Tompkins County received a rating of "Aa2 Negative Outlook", which
is one of the highest ratings in New York State. Only three other counties received ratings that were
higher or equal to Tompkins County. He said the official statement will be available online and in the
Office of the Clerk of the Legislature. He commented he believes that the negative outlook is the result
of the opinion that all counties are operating in a negative financial environment.
He also updated the Legislature on the foreclosure process and stated presently there are ten
properties that are scheduled for foreclosure. He will report back to the Legislature once a site visit of
each of those properties has been conducted.
Ms. Kiefer recalled last time the rating agency's negative outlook for Tompkins County was
based on a belief that Tompkins County's "0%" budget guideline was on revenues, implying we may not
be able to meet our obligations and that we needed to clarify this is not a flat cap.
Mr. Proto asked about the status of the GASB review and Mr. Squires explained we must now
recognize the costs of benefits provided to retirees. For Tompkins County this means we must who how
we will pay for health benefits in the future. This requirement will be devastating for school districts that
guarantee full payments.
Mr. Dennis complimented Mr. Squires on his management of the County's finances and stated it
is very hard to maintain such a good rating in these difficult financial times.
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne requested a detailed report on 2005 sales tax receipts.

Waste Center and received an update on the Caswell Road Landfill Leachate Project. The Committee
authorized acquisition by the Center of replacement equipment in the feed conveyor system, which should
last 15 to 20 years. She said the new equipment should last longer than the existing equipment and will
cost approximately the same amount as it would to repair the present system. Many items appearing
under the Consent Agenda were approved at the meeting as well. Mr. Booth noted Solid Waste staff
Committee with several products that were produced from recycled materials.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Planning, Development and Environmental
Quality Committee
Ms. Robertson, Chair, reported the Committee met on February 17th and approved resolutions
that add two parcels to the agricultural district on the eastern side of the County. Monika Roth of
Cooperative Extension was present at the meeting and pointed out that of the 450 total farms in Tompkins
County, 150 are less than ten years old. The Committee also heard from Jackie Kippola, Contracts
Coordinator, about the beautification grant process. She reported the Strategic Tourism Planning Board is
proposing one-time grants for each of the towns up to the amount of $5,000 in the coming year. The
Town of Ithaca would not be included as they recently received a grant. Kate Hackett from the Planning
Department presented the Committee with a resolution on the A11 -Hazards Mitigation Plan that will be
acted upon this evening.
Ms. Robertson said the Committee also spent time discussing the Density Policy of the Industrial
Development Agency. Mayor Carolyn Peterson and other City representatives attended the meeting and
discussed the City's perspective, as the City will consider a resolution supporting the Density Policy in its
current form. The next meeting will be March 16 and this topic will be discussed again. At that meeting
the City will provide the Committee with an update on southwest development plan.
Mr. Proto asked that any materials distributed at that meeting be provided to members who were
not in attendance.
Mr. Booth asked if the new farms could be categorized as to what types of farms they are. Mr.
Proto said organic farming has grown immensely and there has also been an increase in stables and crop
farming such as hay. He noted greenhouses and landscape businesses also fall under the farming
umbrella, and that in order to be classified as a farm there must be $10,000 in annual sales. Mr. Proto
also noted there is $40-$50 million contributed to the local economy from farming each year.
Ms. Kiefer asked if the $5,000 per town beautification grant is planned to be annual; Ms.
Robertson said it is one-time and does require a match.
Ms. Herrera spoke of the Density Policy and said she is a member of the Industrial Development
Agency. Out of the five projects that have been considered for density abatement she voted against three
55
February 21, 2006
of them out of concern that there was a rush to make a recommendation based on a Density Policy that is
under consideration for revision. She said there are four members from this Legislature that serve on the
IDA and as that Policy is considered for revision the Legislature will be kept informed. She also said
there are concerns that the current Density Policy grants abatements to projects that have a focus on
mixed retail development in high population areas rather than bringing in jobs. She said she is concerned
with any entity granting a recommendation under a Density Policy that is likely to change. Mr. Hattery
agreed with Ms. Herrera's caution.
Mr. Proto said several years ago during discussion of the Density Policy by the IDA there was
also an effort made to make sure the rural communities had an opportunity to be brought in on the
discussion to develop an outreach to the rural communities. He noted that land use is up to the town
municipal governments so they need to be a part of the discussion so that it is not perceived as the County
overstepping its authority.

63
March 7, 2006
WHEREAS, the age, condition, and technological obsolescence of Tompkins County's Public
Safety Communications System (PSCS) has required the County to pursue a total system replacement, as

SEQR ACTION: TYPE I1-20
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Budget and Capital Committee
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, Chair, reported the Committee met on February 27th and continued its
tutorial on the budget process. He said because of some cost overruns in the 2005 budget the Committee
spent time hearing detailed presentations from the Assigned Counsel and Preschool Education Program
about the causes of those overruns and what may be done to contain those costs in the future. The
Committee heard from Administration that Jevon Grogan will be taking over the duties of the Public
Information Officer until a replacement is hired from the Civil Service list.
RESOLUTION NO. 33 — AUTHORIZATION OF A LEASE FINANCING AGREEMENT WITH
CHASE EQUIPMENT LEASING CORPORATION
MOVED by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, seconded by Mrs. McBean-Clairborne. Ms. Kiefer referred to
the last Resolved and asked if this would mean an amendment would be at the same interest rate; Mr.
Koplinka-Loehr said that it does not necessarily mean that. She said she did not understand why the
County was not doing what was done in the past, which was to have the original resolution be up to a
higher amount to cover the higher dollar figure so that the better rate could be secured for the total. Mr.
Squires said when proposals were put out they went with $8 million. Lease financing is tied to the
Treasury Index and when the situation came in with the towers it looked like the budget was going to be
challenged to stay within the amount that was already borrowed. He said there is always a possibility that
the County could go out to bid at a later date; however, this will provide the tool to lock in additional
financing with this lender. Otherwise, the County would incur some issuance expenses to secure more
money. Ms. Kiefer felt the initial request should be for a higher dollar figure and asked why that was not
possible. Mr. Squires said if that were to be done it would adjust the rate because the interest was
effective the day of the proposal; any changes would allow the lender to amend the rate.

March 7, 2006
A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 13, Noes - 0, Excused - 2 (Legislators Herrera and

public safety communication system, and
WHEREAS, the Director of Finance has advertised for "lease financing" to permanently finance
a portion of the contract with Motorola that was authorized by Resolution No. 266 of 2005, and
WHEREAS, Chase Leasing Equipment Corporation provided the most cost-effective proposal of
the six proposals received, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Capital Committee, That the Tompkins
County Administrator is authorized to execute a Master Lease Agreement with Chase Leasing Equipment
Corporation in the amount of $8 million dollars for a ten-year period,
RESOLVED, further, That should additional project financing requirements become necessary
that the Finance Director is authorized to negotiate an amendment to the Master Lease in an amount not to
exceed $4 million dollars.

Report from the Strategic Planning Committee
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, Chair, reported the Committee has not met. A meeting with department
heads will be scheduled soon.
Report from the Workforce Diversity and Inclusion Committee
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne, Chair, reported the Committee met on February 25th and spoke to Pat
Pryor who is a representative of the LGBT community as the Committee continued its discussion around
voluntary demographic information that comes with Tompkins County employment forms. Mrs.
McBean-Clairborne said the Committee was approached because there is a local law that provides

RESOLUTION NO. 36 - APPROVAL OF CONTRACT FOR BEAUTIFICATION, SIGNAGE
AND PUBLIC ART PLAN
MOVED by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Mr. Dennis. Mr. Proto said there needs to be a review
of the items that are included in the beautification piece, particularly the Commons. He said the City
needs to participate financially in maintaining the Commons and that it cannot always come out of the
Room Tax. He said this study is underway at the present time. Ms. Robertson said the Planning,
Development, and Environmental Quality Committee heard from Gary Ferguson at the last meeting that
the retail market on the Commons is being driven by tourists. She said when surveys of tourists are
conducted, the number one destination that is mentioned is the Commons. She said the City is central to
the importance of the health of the Countywide economy. Ms. Kiefer had questions about what
administration is done by Chamber of Commerce compared to that done by Cooperative Extension, and
Mr. Booth noted that although the program refers to public art, there is no money allocated for that this
year.
A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 13, Noes - 0, Excused - 2 (Legislators Herrera and
Stevenson). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the 2006 budget authorized spending $90,000 from the Room Tax Fund for the
County Beautification, Signage, and Public Art Plan to further the County's tourism program, and
WHEREAS, the scope of services for the Beautification, Signage, and Public Art Plan requires
expertise in the area of landscape planning and architecture which are possessed by staff at Cooperative
Extension and other sub -contractors of the Chamber of Commerce, 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 Planning, Development, and Environmental Quality
Committee, That the County Administrator or his designee is authorized to execute an amendment to the

Mr. Dennis, District No. 15 Legislator, announced the upcoming Great Community Read-a-thon
that will take place between March 26 and April 1, 2006. The Read-a-thon was developed to inspire
reading and provide funds for the Family Reading Partnership (FRP). Mr. Dennis spoke highly of the
FRP, which under the direction of Bridget Hubberman has gone from reading to children at WIC
programs to one of national recognition. Mr. Dennis stated the FRP is a good example of a program that
does not require any local funding and has grown and developed over the years to include numerous
programs that provide books free of charge from birth to beyond, encouraging the entire family to become
involved in reading.
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, District No. 11 Legislator, said a variety of incidents at the Cornell Campus
have occurred that involve diversity and race. With this in mind, he feels a way to encourage acceptance
of others is the upcoming Unity Walk that will take place on Saturday, March 25, 2006, from Calvary
Church to St. Paul's Methodist. He invited all to join.
Ms. Robertson, District No. 13 Legislator, announced that on Tuesday, March 28th, a meeting
organized by the League of Women Voters regarding Unmet Needs of Children will take place at the
Salvation Army Communication Center. Keynote speakers will include Alice Cole, Department of
Health; Patricia Carey, Department of Social Services; and Chris Sanchirico of Catholic Charities. In

County at the South Hill Business Center on March 20`n

March 21, 2006
Mr. Booth, District No. 3 Legislator, reported that information recently received by the
Legislature has indicated an increase in the number of farms in Tompkins County. He noted a Syracuse
newspaper also reported an increase in farms in Cortland County as well, indicating these two counties
are ahead of the curve. He then reported that major reconstruction is taking place on the Thurston
Avenue Bridge by the Cornell Campus which will reroute a number of Tompkins Consolidated Area
Transit (TCAT) buses; while there will be some delays he hopes it will be at an acceptable level. Mr.
Booth then reported that during the period of August 2005 to February 2006 there was a 21 percent
increase in TCAT ridership, with the majority of the increase being Cornell University fare -paying
students, staff, and faculty. The number of fare users experienced a modest increase in fares, although the
percentage of riders decreased.
Mr. Shinagawa, District No. 4 Legislator, reported his attendance at a Common Council Planning
meeting on Wednesday, March 15th, at which time the density policy was discussed. He said the
discussion was spearheaded by Mr. David Gelinas, representing the City's Fourth Ward, who suggested
there be a community impact study completed by each potential developer for presentation to the
Industrial Development Agency. The key areas to be addressed within the impact study would be areas of
social and environmental interest to the public and would show officials how the particular interest areas
would be affected. Mr. Shinagawa said the council members in attendance appeared to almost have
complete affirmation and will discuss what criteria/areas should be addressed in a document such as this.
Mr. Shinagawa expressed appreciation to Mr. Gelinas for his diligent work on this subject.
Special Presentation - Tompkins Cortland Community, College
Dr. Carl Haynes, President of Tompkins Cortland Community College, presented the Legislature
with a report on the State of the College. Dr. Haynes said the increased enrollment has been a driving
force for what has occurred at the College, noting the 2004-2005 school year indicated a 6.2 percent
increase. He said that while core enrollment is stable with last year, there is an increased growth as a
result of connections, summer programs, school district programs, and increasing global programs to help
with study abroad for students. Dr. Haynes reviewed the Master Plan and the work being conducted at
the facility that will enhance programs, an increase in the number of school districts the college works
with, and the expansion of online instruction opportunities. A copy of the President's Annual Report was
submitted for the record.
Ms. Herrera expressed her pleasure in the increase of international students. Dr. Haynes said the
college experienced a three-year decline in international enrollment following 9-11; now it appears the
enrollment is rebounding.
Mr. Booth inquired what the capacity of online course enrollment was and how Tompkins
Cortland Community College's enrollment compares to enrollment at Cornell University and Ithaca
College. Dr. Haynes does not believe online course offerings will overtake the need for a facility -based
educational program. What he has seen is that the online offerings are allowing more flexibility for
students to get the courses desired that may not fit in the regular schedule at the College. He also
indicated that online courses are articulated and are transferable to Cornell and Ithaca College.
Ms. Robertson spoke of an activity she attended at the college during which an adjunct professor
spoke of the difficulty of not having health insurance. She is concerned about this information and has
been informed that the adjunct professors provide seventy percent of the instruction and do not have
coverage. Dr. Haynes clarified that while there are physically more adjunct on staff the actual percentage
of coursework they teach is approximately 40 percent. He said they are not provided with health
insurance due to the reduced amount of credit hours they teach. It was noted that a FTE professor teaches
15 credit hours and has additional duties; adjunct professors are limited, with most teaching 3-6 credit
hours.
72
March 21, 2006
Mr. Sigler thanked Dr. Haynes for the tour of the facility. He inquired how many high schools
are participating in advanced coursework. Dr. Haynes indicated last year there were 26 schools this has
increased to approximately 30. He said the level of involvement varies for this program whose goal is to
work with guidance staff, parents, and students to view curriculum in an attempt to allow completion of
an entire semester prior to high school graduation.
Mr. Proto said when he taught previously at the college he had between three to nine credit hours
and did not receive benefits. He explained many were employed elsewhere and had coverage through
their other employer. He said this subject has been an ongoing topic of discussion. Dr. Haynes said the
college periodically reviews its benefits and compares other community colleges and believes the college
is competitive with others.
Mr. Hattery stated he is impressed with the leadership and overall vigor indicated by staff with
regard to the college in general and the upcoming construction project.
Mr. Shinagawa spoke of a summit he attended in the fall of 2005 and noted the faculty and staff
were stellar.
Mr. Randall spoke of his gratitude to the college, noting he graduated as an older student in 1999.
He said his college experiences as a student leader have carried him on to where he is today.
Report from the Chair
Mr. Joseph added information regarding the Library Committee, and announced Mr. Sigler,
liaison to the Tompkins County Public Library, to act as part of the negotiating team for collective
bargaining at the library.
Mr. Joseph then relayed a message from Vice Chair, Leslyn McBean-Clairborne, that she and her
new daughter are doing fine. Mrs. McBean-Clairborne wished to express her appreciation for the calls
and messages.
Report from the County Administrator
Mr. Whicher reported that at this time the field of applicants for the Deputy County Administrator
position has been reduced to 13, and he anticipates that this number will be reduced to 6 by the end of the
week. He said the Legislature will have the opportunity to review the final candidates and he will provide
members with questions relating to this position. He then spoke of his recent trip to Albany with
Emergency Response Director Lee Shurtleff to discuss potential funding from the State for the wireless
network. He said the meeting was encouraging and that the County should be able to expect a sizeable
contribution from the State. Mr. Whicher said it appears the County has made the right choices in their
communication system. Mr. Whicher said the Intermunicipal Cooperation Group has held several
meetings and was given a presentation from Ontario County regarding their health insurance. At the next
meeting on Friday, Tioga County will provide information on their health coverage.
Mr. Whicher requested an executive session to discuss litigation and a personnel matter.
Report from the County Attorney
Mr. Wood also indicated the need for an executive session at the end of the meeting on a variety
of legal matters.

On a similar topic, Mr. Proto reported his attendance at the Emergency Preparedness Committee

Department is not responsible to provide service to the entire County should there be a breakout of avian
flu or other major emergency it is a community responsibility with businesses, educational institutions,
etc. Ms. Cole said the Health Department's responsibility in emergencies is to help with what to do,
where to go, how to deal with animals, etc., and requires additional outreach into the community.
Mr. Proto reported there will be upcoming meetings regarding how to effectively reform Long -
Term care in New York State. The closest will take place in Syracuse on April 5th
Ms. Herrera asked if information or guidelines are being provided on a national level to
individuals associated with the poultry industry as they are the most susceptible to the disease. Mr. Proto
said it should be addressed, but he is not sure what is being done nationally. He believes that the State
Commissioner of Health has put out a report addressing some of the concerns. In addition, Cornell
University is working to develop appropriate remedies. When appropriate information is available
regarding these topics he will include it in a Health and Human Services Committee agenda.

Report from the Facilities and Infrastructure Committee
Mr. Randall, Chair, reported the Committee met March 14`h and discussed the resolutions brought
forward. He noted the Highway Division would be participating in the 2006 High School Career
Presentation to be held at The Rink in April. In addition, it was reported the 2006 Unified Work Plan for
the Public Works Divisions is almost complete and that performance evaluations are expected to be
complete by the end of the month. He reported Ms. Nelson has developed an Employment Procedures
Manual covering employee probationary period and Ms. Fitzpatrick, Personnel Commissioner, has asked
to utilize the manual within other departments as well. The labor/management meetings are again taking
place following the completion of bargaining unit negotiations. Mr. Randall reported on a discussion
regarding the newly implemented Solid Waste Fee, noting it appears that while there appears to be fewer
delays due to the change of traffic pattern, a fee adjustment may be necessary for vehicles with between
500 — 1000 pounds. The Committee heard that in a recent meeting with New York State Department of
Transportation to discuss the Brown Road/Route 13 intersection, preliminary information indicated there
is no need to modify any of the traffic patterns; however further discussions indicated there could be a
lack of accident information as reporting of accidents is not consistent. This subject will be reviewed
upon additional accident information received.
Mr. Randall said the Committee is in the process of reviewing a list of potential capital projects in
order to prioritize the list for the 20 -year Capital Program. Additional information will be coming to the
78
March 21, 2006
committee for review. Mr. Proto thanked the Committee for this work and indicated the former Space
Needs and Location Committee had set construction of a new Health Department building as its main
priority.
The next meeting will take place on March 281h.
Ms. Kiefer added that the Committee met at the Crash, Fire and Rescue Building. At the meeting
the Committee approved the final payment to the company that did the modifications to the building; the
project ended successfully.
Mr. Shinagawa indicated the Air Service Board will be bringing forward resolutions to award
bids for the airport cafe; indicating this choice will save the County funds.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Planning, Development and Environmental
Quality Committee
Ms. Robertson, Chair, reported the Committee met on March l6'1' and was provided a
presentation from the City of Ithaca regarding the Southwest development. She said it appears that it will
be mostly housing development on City -owned land that will be a significant contribution to the County's
housing shortage. The City has developed a request for proposals and upon determining a contractor for
the project, the City will go through the public planning process. With regard to the Industrial
Development Agency density policy, she said there is no question of the City's support of a density
policy in one form or another. Ms. Robertson and Mr. Marx will be working together on a draft statement
from the County to compile suggestions on how to improve the density policy.
Ms. Robertson said the Committee was updated on the Ithaca -Tompkins County Transportation
Council (ITCTC) park and ride surveys. At this time Cornell University staff as well as the downtown
workers have completed the surveys. The results will be compiled over the next month and will assist in
determining where the demand is greatest. Information on the Cornell University/Town study was also
provided.
Ms. Robertson said the Strategic Tourism Planning Board brought forth a grant request from the
Convention and Visitor's Bureau (CVB) for expansion of their building. A question was raised whether
it should be from the two percent room tax fund, or the three percent capital project fund. The discussion
will continue at the next meeting. On April 18`" Mr. Bonn of the CVB will provide a presentation.
Ms. Robertson said Mr. Marx reported that the report on housing needs is in the final stages and
the Legislature will receive the results at the first April meeting and a community stakeholder meeting
will take place at a later date.
Mr. Proto reported on April 1 s` there will be a Farm Bureau sponsored "Agstravaganza" held at
the Pyramid Mall. This event is family-oriented and will have information and animals for children of all
ages. He also reported that agricultural tax exemptions must be received in Assessment prior to April 1,
2006.

Report from the Government Operations Committee
Ms. Herrera, Chair, said the Committee met on March 15`x', and the next meeting will occur on
April 19th. Items discussed were a technical grant; the communications policy, noting it requires
updating to be certain there is accountability as well as security; and the advisory board appointment
policy. With regard to advisory boards and appointments she said the Committee is looking for ways to
come up with templates and consistency if possible and asked that Legislators provide suggestions if
desired. One particular area of discussion was whether legislators should serve as Chair of an advisory
board or hold non -legislative seats. Ms. Herrera said information from the Board of Elections as well as
the foreclosure process will be coming forward in the near future.
Mr. Booth said several years ago the Assessment Department provided information on the variety
of tax exemptions offered and felt it would be useful for the Committee to review them. He would also
like to include a breakout of which ones are required by Federal, State, and/or local law.
Ms. Robertson noted that today is village elections and reminded the public to vote.
Mr. Hattery inquired if the advisory board discussion would include the reduction of legislative
involvement on so many of them. Ms. Herrera said the topic was brought up but there are many ways
these appointments are dictated; one policy would not fit all boards.
Mr. Proto asked if there is one or several criteria used to address the advisory board issue. Ms.
Herrera said some advisory boards have nominating committees, but the criteria for nominating
committees is not all the same; the overall consistency is that everyone has to submit an application, and
residency is a question regarding them as well.
Mr. Proto suggested that with regard to legislative appointments and the questions that are being
discussed the scope be broadened to include all elected officials serving in the capacity of any at -large
seats on County advisory boards. He also suggested that individuals who have employment beyond
elective office be afforded the criteria of being allowed to occupy a seat due to the expertise of work
experience.
Ms. Robertson noted that several years ago an attempt was made to reduce the number of
advisory boards; it is very difficult to do so.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Budget and Capital Committee
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, Chair, called attention to the NYSAC Winter magazine and said there are
many articles of interest, including one by Chair Joseph. He then reported that the 2006 Reader Friendly
Budget document is available. Mr. Koplinka-Loehr said at the March 13th meeting the Committee
continued the overview and tutorial of the budget process and fiscal policies. He reminded Legislators of
the April 27th budget retreat that will finalize the budget parameters for the County's 2007 budget. He
said the committee is looking ahead with regard to the capital plan, understanding that once the Facilities
and Infrastructure Committee made a prioritized list of capital projects it is up to the Budget and Capital
Committee to determine how to balance the need with expenditure levels with respect to the 20 -Year
Capital Plan.
RESOLUTION NO. 47 - APPROPRIATIONS AND BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS FOR SALARY
INCREASE - WHITE COLLAR, MANAGEMENT/CONFIDENTIAL,
AND BLUE COLLAR EMPLOYEES
MOVED by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, seconded by Ms. Robertson.
82
March 21, 2006
It was MOVED by Mr. Sigler, seconded by Mr. Proto, to offer a substitute resolution. Following
a brief discussion, Mr. Sigler withdrew his motion as the notes following the resolution contained the
information he felt was important. MOTION WITHDRAWN.
In response to Mr. Flattery's question regarding the number of fund balances involved in the
budget adjustments, Mr. Koplinka-Loehr said it is a technical adjustment and does not create any
significant problems. Mr. Booth noted he has voted against virtually all salary increases, however, in this
situation the funds are in the 2006 budget and he will therefore support the resolution.
Mr. Proto indicated that included in the resolution is funding for longevity bonuses in the amount
of $164,476. He does not believe it is appropriate to provide a bonus to employees for longevity. He
questioned whether the explanatory notes attached to the resolution would appear within the official
proceedings of the County and was informed they are not unless requested. Ms. Kiefer requested the
notes contained on the revised resolution appear in the minutes.
A short roll call on the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes — 14; Noes 0; Excused — 1
(Legislator McBean-Clairborne). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, Resolution No. 117 of 2005 "ESTABLISHMENT OF GUIDELINES AND FISCAL
TARGETS FOR ALL COUNTY BUDGETING UNITS FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE 2006

received by the General Fund, and
WHEREAS, the bargaining agreement between Tompkins County and the White Collar Union,
for the years 2005, 2006, and 2007, was ratified by Resolution No. 187 of September 20, 2005, and
WHEREAS, Management and Confidential 2005 salary adjustments were already included in
2006 fiscal targets, and
WHEREAS, the 2005 Management and Confidential salaries were increased by Resolution No.
139 of July 19, 2005, and
WHEREAS, the bargaining agreement between Tompkins County and the Blue Collar Union for
the years 2005, 2006, and 2007, was ratified on February 7, 2006, by Resolution No. 20, now therefore be

Confidential employees' 2005 salary adjustments were already calculated and are represented in the 2006
budgeted salary. The 2006 adjustment is equal to 2.895% of budgeted salary (with some fluctuation in
rate to bring Management/Confidential salary schedule level with White Collar).
White Collar employees' 2005 salary adjustment is equal to 2% of budgeted salary and the 2006
salary adjustment is equal to 3.5% of the 2005 adjustment.
Blue Collar employees' 2005 salary adjustment is a one-time payment and does not affect the
base salary. The 2006 adjustment is equal to 3.75% of the 2006 budgeted salaries.
For all salaries the fringe rate is 39%.

Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Public Safety Committee
RESOLUTION NO. 52 — AMENDMENT OF RESOLUTION NO. 267 OF 2005 — AUTHORIZING
THE COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR TO SEEK BIDS AND TO ENTER
INTO A CONTRACT FOR SITE WORK INCLUDING THE
CONSTRUCTION OR MODIFICATION OF TOWERS AT SITES
NEEDED FOR AN 800 MHz TRUNKED DIGITAL
COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM
MOVED by Mr. Booth, seconded by Mr. Hattery. Mr. Proto disclosed that through his company,
and other interests he is a holder of a small interest in Motorola and offered to abstain from voting on this
resolution. There was no request made for Mr. Proto to abstain from voting.
Mr. Proto said the Town of Danby and Caroline Supervisors have written letters that outlined a
series of questions with regard to what they thought this resolution approved. Mr. Whicher and Mr.
Shurtleff met with both supervisors and have provided answers to their questions. He believes there is no
longer an issue with their support of the resolution. Mr. Booth called attention to a memorandum written
to all Legislators by County Administrator Whicher. He said the memo explains in detail the following
reasons for this resolution: the County was mistaken in December as to the actual estimate connected to
the site work; in negotiations with Motorola some of the items were moved from the systems project to
the site project; and the total of the site project and systems project is actually less than the figure
projected in December by approximately $377,000.
Ms. Kiefer said when the Legislature voted in December the bid process had not yet been
completed and asked why the Legislature has not received a report on the bid results and why there is no
information about that process contained in this resolution. Mr. Shurtleff said there was a bid document
released the first part of February and modified during the month of February. There were three
responses to the bid to do the site development work; it was all inclusive of everything that was outside of
the contract that was done the last part of December to get the system up and running. It included towers,
site development work, shelters, generators, driveways, extension of utilities, etc. Mr. Shurtleff said three
bids were received from three different vendors that ranged from just slightly over $4 million to $4.3
million. The next step is to finalize the contract negotiations with the lowest bidder and they have been
going through that process for the past three to four weeks to clarify any exceptions that were taken and to
request further documentation. That contract will be processed over the next few days. The contract is
being authorized in the amount of $4.5 million so that any unforeseen items can be accommodated.
A voice vote on the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes - 13, Noes - 0, Excused - 2 (Legislators
McBean-Clairborne and Randall). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, Resolution No. 267 of 2005 authorized the County Administrator to seek bids and
enter into a contract for site work upon completion of the bid process, including the provision of shelters
and the addition or modification of towers construction and modifications at all identified sites in an
amount not to exceed $2.5 million, and
WHEREAS, the County has revised the specifications and added tasks to this phase of the
project, now therefore be it
101
April 4, 2006
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Public Safety Committee, That Resolution No. 267 of
2005 be amended to increase the amount of $2.5 to not to exceed $4.5 million.
SEQR ACTION: TYPE I (Environmental Impact Statement Prepared)
Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Facilities and Infrastructure Committee
RESOLUTION NO. 53 - ESTABLISHING A TIERED FLAT -FEE STRUCTURE FOR
VEHICLES WITH A NET LOAD WEIGHT OF LESS THAN 1,000
POUNDS THAT TIP SOLID WASTE AT THE RECYCLING AND
SOLID WASTE CENTER (RSWC)
MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Ms. Herrera. Mr. Stevenson said he will oppose this
resolution because he does not support continuing to use a $5 rate for cars and sport utility vehicles while
adopting the three -tiered system for trucks. Ms. Eckstrom spoke of a study performed last year in
response to traffic issues at the Recycling and Solid Waste Center. She said cars were taken off the scales
to minimize wait lines, traffic problems, and bottlenecks. She said if cars were reintroduced back on the
scales they would actually be paying much more under the tiered -system. A voice vote resulted as
follows: Ayes - 12, Noes - 1 (Legislator Stevenson), Excused - 2 (Legislators McBean-Clairborne and
Randall). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 264 of 2005 the Legislature established a flat -fee structure for
charging cars, pick-up trucks and full-sized vans for tipping of garbage at the Recycling and Solid Waste
Center (RSWC), and
WHEREAS, the Legislature established a five -dollar rate for cars, minivans, and sport utility
vehicles and a ten -dollar rate for pick-up trucks and full-size vans, and
WHEREAS, the implementation of the flat -fee structure has considerably improved the flow of
traffic at the RSWC since its implementation on March 1, 2006, and
WHEREAS, the ten -dollar flat -fee for pick-up trucks and full-size vans does not meet actual
costs, and
WHEREAS, a more equitable system would charge vehicles carrying large quantities of solid
waste more than vehicles carrying significantly less waste, and
WHEREAS, when initially discussed with the County Director of Weights and Measures he was
informed by Regional New York State Weights and Measures staff that a tiered system was illegal, now
he has received approval from the New York State Commissioner of Weights and Measures to administer
this three -tiered system, and
WHEREAS, by adopting a three-tier system for charging vehicles with net loads of garbage less
than 1,000 pounds, the County can continue the flat -fee structure and ensure that the County does not
suffer significant financial losses, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Facilities and Infrastructure and Budget and Capital
Committees, That the tipping fee at the RSWC for vehicles with net loads of garbage less than 1,000
pounds shall be as follows:
Weight Flat Fee
0 to 333 lbs $10
334 lbs to 666 lbs $20
667 lbs to 999 lbs $30
RESOLVED, further, That these changes shall take effect on April 17, 2006,
RESOLVED, further, That the five -dollar rate for cars, minivans, and sport utility vehicles
remain in effect.

Special Presentation
At this time Heather Filiberto of the Planning Department introduced Jeffrey Carr, Vice
President, and John Simson, Senior Analyst of Economic and Policy Resources, Inc., who presented a
report on the Tompkins County Housing Assessment Study.
Chair's Report
Mr. Joseph reported last week he met with Elliot Spitzer's Campaign Policy Director in New
York City. He said he felt it is a good time to discuss criminal justice issues as Mr. Spitzer is a candidate
for New York State Governor. Mr. Joseph went in part as a representative of NYSAC and spoke on
behalf of counties across New York State. He said it was an excellent meeting and felt the Policy
Director took good notes, asked good questions, and seemed to be genuinely interested about the issues.
Mr. Joseph said he communicated to the Policy Director that a meeting with a delegation from counties
across the State with Mr. Spitzer was desired and was directed to coordinate with other parties and let
them know when they would like to meet. Mr. Joseph said he is working with NYSAC to arrange this.
Mr. Joseph said he received a call from the Community Relations Office at Cornell today with a
request to meet with the new President of Cornell University, David Skorton. Mr. Joseph said President
Skorton has requested a one-on-one meeting on July 12th and encouraged Legislators to let him know of
any topics they would like addressed at that meeting.
Mr. Joseph announced the New York State Legislature adopted new legislation yesterday that
allows counties to make a new decision about sales tax on clothing. He said counties are now being given
an opportunity to revisit the earlier decision that was made with regard to keeping the sales tax on
clothing as the State removed its portion. A decision needs to be made by May 15 with an effective date
of June 1. He said the City of Ithaca should be brought in on any discussions being held on this matter.
Report from the County Administrator
Mr. Whicher reported he attended a meeting along with several others, including Cheryl Nelson,
Public Works Administrator; Greg Potter, Director of Information Technology Services; Lee Shurtleff,
Director of Emergency Response; and Ed Marx, Commissioner of Planning and Public Works, to discuss
emergency responsibilities. He said a proposal will soon be brought forward to buy emergency
generators. Mr. Whicher also reported the search process for the Deputy County Administrator position
is moving forward.
Mr. Whicher requested an executive session to discuss litigation.

Mr. Wood requested an executive session to discuss a personnel matter.

Report from the Health and Human Services Committee
Mr. Proto, Chair, reported the Committee will meet tomorrow, April 7, 2006 at 3 p.m.
Report from the Facilities and Infrastructure Committee
Ms. Kiefer, Vice Chair, reported the Committee met on March 28. In addition to the items
brought forward this evening, the Committee was informed of goals for the Weights and Measures
program for 2006. Mr. Ellis, Director of Weights and Measures, will be requesting permission from the
State for the Solid Waste Division to charge a three -tired fee. The Committee also discussed the proposed
20 -year Capital Plan and will be bringing forward a recommendation. Ms. Kiefer said the Committee
heard an interesting report on an acoustic problem associated with the Human Services Building. Last
year a resident on North Plain Street complained about noise within his home. Upon investigation it was
found that a fan on the roof was causing the residence to experience noise from the system. Staff made
alterations and the problem was solved. Recently, after changes recommended by energy Performance
Systems to improve energy efficiency were made to the same Human Services Building roof unit, the
same resident again experienced unacceptable noise levels in his home. She noted how unpredictable and
localized such problems are. She said the Committee gave permission to Mr. LeMaro, Director of
Facilities, to consult with an acoustical engineer to develop a solution to this problem. Ms. Kiefer also
reported the County's 5 -year contract with C&S Engineers, the Airport's consultants, is coming to an end
this year and the County will be issuing another request for qualifications at the end of May. The
Committee heard a report on goals for the Public Works divisions; the Committee felt the goals presented
were in line with the Committee's goals. The Committee goals were not acted upon as there were only
three members in attendance at the time they were discussed. Prior to the next meeting on April 11, the
Committee will tour the Public Safety and Old Library buildings.
Report from the Planning, Development and Environmental Quality Committee
Ms. Robertson, Chair, reported the Committee will meet on April 20 at 3 p.m.
Report from the Personnel Committee
Mr. Dennis, Chair, reported the Committee will meet on April 12. At that meeting the Committee
will establish salaries for the two elected officials. Mr. Dennis also reported negotiations will begin soon
for the Corrections Unit and said the Sheriffs arbitration proceedings are moving forward. He asked that
members alert him if they are unable to attend that meeting, as there may be an issue with meeting
quorum.
Report from the Government Operations Committee
Ms. Herrera, Chair, reported the Committee has not met since the last Legislature meeting. The
next meeting will be April 19 at 3 p.m. at the Tompkins County Public Library.

Presentation of Distinguished Youth Award
In recognition of their dedication and commitment as youth representatives to the Ithaca City
School District Board, Ms. Herrera, District No. 5 Legislator, presented six high school students with the
Distinguished Youth Award. The students distinguished themselves by their articulate and thoughtful
representation of youth issues on the Ithaca City School District Board. The recipients were Alex Ainslie,
Alton Brann, Kelsea Jones, and Melissa Noze11 from Ithaca High School as well as Dan Bartholamew and
Lauren Shinagawa from the Alternative Community School.
Privilege of the Floor by Legislators
Ms. Robertson, District No. 13 Legislator, called attention to the new "Life" section of the Ithaca
Journal and said there was a report that featured a survey done by the Youth Services Department in
today's edition dealing with Students' behavior around alcohol, drugs, and cigarettes. Ms. Robertson
announced a town hall meeting will be held on April 27th at 7 p.m. at the Women's Community Building
that will address the topic of underage drinking. She also reported on an op-ed article in the Ithaca
Journal that addressed a concern about kids not doing well in school as a result of a family having
housing issues. She said she made a connection to this and a study performed by Better Housing that
found there is a correlation between improved school performance when housing needs are addressed.
Mr. Dennis, District No. 15 Legislator, said he had an opportunity to visit Legislator McBean-
Clairborne and her newborn daughter.
Mr. Shinagawa, District No. 4 Legislator, spoke of the immigration debate going on across the
country at the present time. He said it seems to him that people are no longer talking about immigrants as
human beings. He said everyone needs to keep in mind that these are people with stories and families
with backgrounds who have struggled in the United States and who have made a long-lasting impact for
the betterment of this country. Mr. Shinagawa spoke of the issue of affordable housing and said a big
thing that is going on is the community impact statements that City of Ithaca Alderman Gelinas has
proposed. He said these are a very powerful tool in moving in the right direction when it comes to
affordable housing in Tompkins County.

April 4, 2006
Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Legislator, encouraged everyone to read an article in yesterday's issue of
the Ithaca Journal with regard to consumer credit as it relates to credit cards. He also reported on the
April issue of "Grassroots", in which it was reported the New York Teacher of the Year Award has been
presented to Michelle Sutton, a teacher from the local B.O.C.E.S. and the Danby School. Mr. Proto said
over the last few years' efforts have been made to resurrect the Danby School as agriculture, horticulture,
and an environmental school so that individuals may have an opportunity to obtain an education in these
areas at that location. He said this is an excellent recognition for Ms. Sutton and Tompkins County.

Chair Joseph called a public hearing to order at 5:30 p.m. for the purpose of informing the public
and to review the public use to be served by the replacement of the Ringwood Road Bridge in the Town
of Dryden and the impact on the environment and residents of the locality where said project will be
constructed.
Chair Joseph asked if any member of the public wished to speak. Mr. Wood, County Attorney,
explained the purpose of the hearing and stated under Eminent Domain Procedures Law, if in the unlikely
event property is going to be taken by Eminent Domain, a public hearing has to be held. He said the
County has never acquired property in this manner, but has scheduled a public hearing in the event an
agreement couldn't be reached with a property owner. No one wished to speak and the public hearing was
declared closed at 5:31 p.m.

Privilege of the Floor by the Public
Bernard Hutchins, Hanshaw Road, summarized the following letter and submitted it to be entered
into the record:
"My wife and I live at 1016 Hanshaw Road and we are very concerned with the way Tompkins
County dealing with the Right -of -Way issue related to the renovation of Hanshaw Road at our property.
In particular, they are ignoring the strong clear evidence that the Right -of -Way is only by use, and the
opportunity to negotiate a mutually satisfactory resolution. Instead we get irrational statement contrary to
reliable documentation. We cannot abide statements such as "we feel that'...." Or "we believe that..."
What is it that you can establish that honors the property rights or, and shows a modicum of respect for,
the individual?
"On October 19, 2005, receiving no specific reliable information relating to the Right -of -Way, I
wrote a certified letter to County Attorney Jon Wood, denying the County an access to our property until
such time as my concerns were addressed. Just over a week ago, after nearly six months of no response
from Mr. Wood, Steve Whicher learned from me that the situation was being ignored, and told his people
to respond. Mr. Wood's response was just to click "reply" on an email 1 had previously sent to John
Lampman and say essentially: I agree with Lampman and this is not worth the amount of money to
litigate this. Evidently he did not pick up on the point that this is not about money, it's about individual
property rights. (Perhaps however it is about money from the County's point of view, not because of any
possible money to me, but the combined payments that would accrue to residents on ALL County roads if
the fact that the Right -of -Way on these roads is likely just by use, were to become generally known). Mr.
Wood certainly didn't reply to any of the issues in my October 19 letter, so my prohibitions of course still
stand.
106
April 18, 2006
"There is a well-documented history to this dispute, which I have provided to Mr. Whicher and
some of the rest of you in the form of copies of a February 1, 2006 letter to Susan Brock, Town of Ithaca
Attorney. During the six months that Mr. Wood was not responding, John Lampman and Rich Brauer of
Fisher Associates were making feeble attempts to claim a 25 -foot Right -of -Way. At one point, they
claimed they had written easements (they couldn't find them in their files); and that the State Department
of Transportation had found "conclusive evidence" of a 25 -foot Right -of -Way (Mr. Flynt at the Syracuse
office said this was not the truth); and that there was a 25 foot Right -of -Way in my own deed (they
mistook a 25 -foot private side -easement for the public road Right -of -Way).
"In fact, my deed specifies that road Right -of -Way only as:
"The rights of the public in and to that portion of the above-described premises lying within the
bounds of Hanshaw Road". Thus, the Right -of -Way is by use only. It is only 15 to 17 feet at my
property, and Mr. Lampman agrees (December 1, 2005 email) that if the Right -of -Way is by use, it is as
narrow as 17 feet.
"The most recent County position is from John Lampman by email dated April 7, 2006 where he
claims that Pre -1830 State Law (not specified or provided) "would have authorized" municipalities to
"open up" the Right -of -Way to three rods (50 feet total - 25 feet each side of center). Was this done? Of
course not. By 1906, the State renovation plans show only an 8 -foot macadam (total paved width) on a
24 -foot total Right -of -Way at my property. (These are the same plans that the County originally claimed
proved a 50 -foot right -of way.) Even today, the use is still only 30 to 34 feet.
"Does it have to be actually opened up to claim a use Right -of -Way of three rods? Yes it does.
In the "New York State Department of Transportation Right -of -Way Mapping Manual" dated 2002 it
says:
"In the opinion of the Attorney General, if the prescriptive use of the road has been limited to a
width of less than three rods, the municipality may not widen the road without either the consent of the
abutting owners or by following due process and compensating the owners." - Opinions of the Attorney
General 1962, 1995, and 1999
"Further, according to Mr. Darrel Harp, former chief Counsel of the State Department of
Transportation as quoted by Joel Gagnon of the Danby Town Board: "Courts tend to presume that if a tree
is more than 10 years old, it is outside the established Right -of -Way."
"Bill Lesser, just retired from the Ithaca Town Board, has told us the following about the
Hanshaw Road Right -of -Way: "A Right -of -Way show on a survey map is not an indication, as surveyors
will often show 3 rods (25 feet each side) as a matter of course, and not based on a legal determination";
and "My guess, given the age of the road it is by use. In any case, it is the County's responsibility to
document a deeded Right -of -Way if that is the basis for any action."
"Mr. Wood and Mr. Lampman apparently disagree with all of these people, although they have
not responded to any of these specific items.
"We have brought all these issues, and many, many more, to the County, and the County ignores
all of them. Is this the way the members of the Tompkins County Legislature feel citizens should be
treated?
"In addition, we presented a clear proposal by which the County could proceed in which there
was only an 18 inch difference between what we were willing to give (17 feet) and what the County really
needed (18.5 feet). We were willing to split the difference, and by this letter, we will offer them the extra
nine inches as well. So they can have the 18.5 feet in exchange for agreeing that that is the extent of the
107
April 18, 2006
Right -of -Way. My understanding is that currently (meaning a plan which they have not yet made public)
the centerline of the road is to move south by two to three feet at my property, and this is what makes a
compromise possible (although that was not the reason for moving the centerline). [This was to avoid an
expensive retaining wall on the north side on the Cayuga Heights portion - although the Cayuga Heights
portion is reserved for some time in the future!] This south -shifting plan was first presented as an
alternative on the plan presented December 1, 2001, which is still the only plan the public has seen. That
alternative clearly shifts the north edge of the sidewalk away from my property by the same amount the
centerline shifts south. However, Mr. Lampman now contends that it would not move. Nonetheless., it
does move on the plan, and this is the plan they posted, and it does demonstrate that they were able to
achieve their goals with 20.5 feet (which becomes 18.5 feet from the current centerline with the shift).
"We insist that the County first agree that the current Right -of -Way is 17 feet by use only. At
that point, (1) we are prepared to give the County the additional Right -of -Way they need consistent with
the December 1, 2005 south -shifting plan (18.5 feet from current centerline). We are (2) prepared to
negotiate with the County if it desires additional Right -of -Way beyond 18.5 feet. We also recognize (3)
that the County could proceed under eminent domain to take what it wants. While repulsive, this would
be honest behavior. What is not acceptable is (4) that the County says it already has a 25 -foot Right -of -
Way. No owner of our property was ever given due process and compensation.
"In closing I need to say something about Mr. Lampman. I have been hard on John, and he is
used to this, and it is because he is an engineer, and therefore, I expect more from him. It was unfair of
the County to put the burden of this indefensible legal position on him, and to the extent that I have
thereby been forced to contribute to that unfairness, I apologize to him."
Betty Falcao, Director of the Health Planning Council, spoke in support of the resolution on the
agenda entitled "Supporting Changes in Medicare Part D". She said the Plan is very confusing to some
people and believes this proposal will help more people obtain the prescriptions they need. Ms. Falcao
commended the County for starting the Tompkins RX Program and said $250,000 has been saved to -date
by this program by people who have no insurance.
Frances Helmsteader, spoke in support of the resolution on the agenda entitled "Supporting
Changes in Medicare Part D". She shared some of her personal experiences with the current plan and said
she feels the proposed resolution will address some of the major problems that exist with the current plan.
Chantalese DeMarco, Mental Health Department employee, said for the last six months she has
helped transition Department clients from having full and comprehensive prescription coverage to a
system of prior authorizations, co -pays, and medication denials because many of the psychiatric
medications that they need have no generic equivalent. Ms. DeMarco said she supports the resolutionon
the agenda entitled "Supporting Changes in Medicare Part D", and invited any Legislator to contact her if
they would like to discuss any of the extra steps the Department has been taking to make sure clients
remain stable and on their medications.
Martha Ferger, Town of Dryden resident, spoke in support of the resolution on the agenda
entitled "Supporting Changes in Medicare Part D". She said her son and daughter-in-law run a busy
medical practice and she often hears about the many problems the current system has. She also attended a
four-hour citizen congressional hearing held at Tompkins Cortland Community College a few weeks ago
and heard from several individuals, pharmacists, professional and volunteer counselors, small business
owners, doctors, and nurses, about the difficulty they have had with the current system.
Lisa Holmes, Interim Director of the Office for the Aging, spoke in support of the resolution on
the agenda entitled "Supporting Changes in Medicare Part D". She said Office for the Aging staff have
been assisting several seniors who have had difficulty with the current plan. She said it is a very
complicated process and the system has proved to be nearly impossible to navigate alone. She also noted
108
April 18, 2006
that the funding to help with the rollout of this plan for the first year will expire at the end of September;
however, intensive assistance and counseling is expected long into the future.
Martha Robertson, District No. 13 Legislator, read a letter on behalf of Rebecca Algie who was
unable to attend as she is meeting to discuss health care issues with candidates for the 24th Congressional
District. Ms. Algie has been working as a monitor for the Medicare Part D signup process in Tompkins
County which is part of a Statewide project sponsored by Statewide Senior Action Alliance for Retired
Americans and the Medicare Rights Center. The project is designed to help seniors navigate through the
new process. Through her work, Ms. Algie has heard directly about the problems both locally and
Statewide that the bill has caused ranging from confusion and frustration to serious difficulties getting
critical prescriptions filled. In her letter, Ms. Algie urged the Legislator to support the resolution on the
agenda entitled "Supporting Changes in Medicare Part D".
Robert DeLuca, Commissioner of Mental Health, also spoke in support of the resolution on the
agenda entitled "Supporting Changes in Medicare Part D". He said Ms. DeMarco, who spoke earlier in
the meeting, has been spending a great deal of her time on the specific tasks she spoke about earlier;
therefore, there is a specific cost to the Mental Health Department for these resources. Mr. DeLuca also
expressed concern for individuals with disabilities who are not associated with a County case
management program.
Presentation of Proclamation
Chair Joseph presented a proclamation to Chris Bertleson of Suicide Prevention and Crisis
Service declaring the week of May 6, 2006, to be Suicide Prevention Day and the week of May 6-13,
2006 as Suicide Prevention Week in Tompkins County.
Distinguished Youth Award
Mr. Sigler, District No. 6 Legislator, presented the April, 2006 Distinguished Youth Award to
Brian Emerick of Lansing. Brian was nominated by Barbara Barry of the Lansing Youth Services
Program who stated that Brian demonstrates maturity, responsibility, the ability to take initiative and
involvement in his community on a continuous basis. He has been an invaluable asset to the Youth
Services Program, both as employee and as a volunteer. Brian's enthusiasm, energy, and optimism in
interacting with young people are evident. Mr. Sigler said Brian has also been an employee of the Lansing
High School Helper's Program for a year and a half. After being paid for two months, Brian decided to
volunteer because he felt rewarded enough by the experience.
Privilege of the Floor by Legislators
Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Legislator, provided the Legislature with an update on activities of the
Water Resources Council. He first spoke of the use of jet skis on Cayuga Lake and said the Council has
worked with the four townships and the one village that surrounds the Lake in developing legislation for
their communities. He displayed two brochures that are the product of that work; one outlines what the
legal regulations might be and the other is a courtesy brochure providing information about who has the
opportunity to use the Lake and tips for being respectful.
Ms. Robertson, District No. 13 Legislator, announced there are workshops being held at Lifelong
where seniors can obtain assistance and information on Medicare Part D. Those workshops will be held
on April 20, 28, May 5, 12, and 19; anyone with questions should contact Lifelong. Ms. Robertson
announced Ithaca has made No. 4 on the list of the top 10 places to live in the country as designated by
Relocate America.
109
April 18, 2006
Ms. Kiefer, District No. 10 Legislator, asked people to be aware that this Saturday, April 22nd, is
the National Day to celebrate Earth Day, and to take a moment to consider the trouble the earth is in
because of global warming. She said there was a program on NPR recently that spoke of individuals who
live on low-lying islands and how their entire country will disappear within the next few decades.
Mr. Shinagawa, District No. 4 Legislator, provided the Legislature with a report on 2005 versus
2004 statistics from the Air Service Board. He said for domestic enplanements, Ithaca is up from 2004 by
12.2 percent. Binghamton Regional Airport experienced a decrease of 8.7 percent and Elmira Corning
Regional percent experienced a decrease of 12 percent. He said other numbers pertaining to U.S.
Airways and Northwest Airlines are also looking good.
Mr. Booth, District No. 3 Legislator, said there is discussion in Albany with regard to member
items and a proposal for them to be secret. He said it is the responsibility of both parties to make sure this
does not happen. There is also legislation that has been introduced in the State Assembly that would
remove authority from the State of New York to regulate trapping and would delegate that authority to
county governments throughout the State. Mr. Booth said he does not think any county government
would want this authority or have any expertise to exercise that authority. He said from a broad policy
point -of -view it creates immense damage to remove wildlife authority from the State of New York.

Room Tax. An outline of the presentation is as follows:
TOMPKINS COUNTY TOURISM:
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION AND PROGRESS REPORT
Stuart W. Stein, Chair Fred Bonn, Director
Strategic Tourism Planning Board Convention and Visitors Bureau
(273-3500) (272-1313)
History
It has been twenty years since the County Legislature, at the request of the Chamber of Commerce,
established the hotel and motel occupancy tax or room tax - with the purpose of supporting a tourism
program. It is worth reviewing the program now to orient the new members of the county legislature to
the program, and to update continuing legislators about how the program has fared in the past two
decades.
From the start, the proceeds from the room tax were designated by NY State Home Rule legislation to
fund only tourism related programs, and those rules have been followed from the start. This is the way
that tourism programs throughout the state and, indeed, throughout the country are funded. In Tompkins
County, we started with a 2 % tax and did not include Bed and Breakfast establishments. After a few
years, B&B's requested that they be included so that they could receive the benefits of the county's
marketing program. After another few years, the amount of the tax was increased to 3%, and then about 5
years ago, the tax was raised to 5%. Many of the counties in our part of NY State have matched these
increases.
When the program began 20 years ago, approximately $200,000 was raised, and it was used entirely for
marketing our county to outsiders through the Chamber of Commerce's Convention and Visitors' Bureau
(CVB). In 2005, the room tax brought in more than $1.3 million. Of this amount, the County is
115
April 18, 2006
permitted, by state law, to take 10% to cover its administrative costs (which yielded at least $130,000 for
the county coffers this year).
Basic Principles
The plan and the subsequent decisions of the tourism advisory board are based on a few basic principles.
Two are foremost:
1. The focus of the tourism program is economic development and, therefore, it must be viewed
within the much broader context of the county's economic development program. Tourism is a
``fiscal lever" for the county. Its goal is to increase the level of business for private
establishments catering to tourists. But the focus, also, is to improve job opportunities for county
residents, and to increase the amount of property and sales taxes coming in to county and
municipal governments.
2. While doing this, the tourism program must be diligent in protecting and improving the quality of
life for those who live here. This means that it must encourage the type of tourism development
that builds upon the positive aspects of the county, and avoid any type of activity or development
that degrades our environment.
While the amount of money generated by the room tax may seem substantial, the funds are, in reality,
quite limited for the job that needs to be done. County and local municipal governments are unable to do
everything themselves; they must partner with private businesses, non-profit groups and the local
educational institutions to have a viable tourism program that will build the economy. Major partners in
this effort, therefore, are the Chamber of Commerce, Tompkins County Area Development, The
Community Arts Partnership, Cornell and Ithaca College, as well as hundreds of local businesses and
organizations. The STPB, through its grant programs, and through other efforts is continually seeking
ways to build additional partnerships.
Allocation of the Funds
This room tax is directed, according to state law, to both marketing and developing tourism in the county.
In addition, when the room tax was increased from 3% to 5% about 5 years ago, the County Board at the
time directed, via resolution and with an incorporated "white -paper", that the proceeds from the 3%
funding be used for marketing, and that the additional 2% be used for development of the county's
tourism assets, primarily to stabilize and support our cultural and arts organizations.
From the 3% portion of the tax totaling $717,500 in 2006, the CVB contracts with the county to providing
these services for$ 656,000. Other funds from the 3 % portion go to a separate marketing program for
small competitive grants, and to several smaller tourism -marketing programs (e.g. The Finger Lakes
Alliance, the Discovery Trail, etc.).
The 2% portion of the room tax totaling $478,400 in 2006, is allocated to several specific programs:
1. Arts and Culture Stabilization ($200,000)
2. Community Celebrations ($20,000)
3. Signage and Beautification ($90,000)
4. Capital Grants ($100,000)
In addition, funds from this portion of the room tax support the downtown ticket center, the Community
Arts Partnership operations, and a small competitive capital grants program.

Management of the Program
The Chamber's CVB manages the entire marketing program under contract with the County. The CVB
creates and distributes to potential visitors many forms of information and assists tourists who come here.
It also works diligently to generate demand, increasing visitations to the county (for conferences,
meetings, events, etc.).
The Arts and Cultural Stabilization program is managed by the Community Arts Partnership; the
Celebrations Program by the County Historian; the Signage and Beautification Program by the Chamber
of Commerce and Cooperative Extension; and the Capital Grants program by TCAD. Each of these
programs has a defined schedule and a set of written guidelines. Administrative oversight and assistance
to these, and other programs is provided by Jackie Kippola of County Staff.
The County Legislature makes all of the final decisions as to how these funds are to be spent, after
receiving the advice of the Strategic Tourism Planning Board (STPB). This Board has been very effective
in carrying out its responsibility. It is composed of representatives of the broad cross-section of the many
components of the tourism industry. It is a knowledgeable, experienced and hard-working group of
people who voluntarily have done a great service to the Legislature and to the county's citizens and
businesses.
The recommendations of the STPB are guided by a master plan that was prepared recently by a
committee of the Board and approved by the County Legislature last year. This was not the first county
tourism plan; several other studies have been prepared over the past twenty years by professional
consultants so that we can stay up -to date with changing times and conditions.
Some Accomplishments
It takes time to build any economic development program. The tourism program has been growing
steadily, and now seems to be building considerable momentum. There are several indicators of this
success:
1. Room tax and sales tax receipts have risen continually every year.
2. Several new hotels have been built in the past few years.
a. Hampton Inn April 2004
b. Taughannock Farms lnn Guest House — June 2004
c. Hilton Garden Inn — August 2005
d. LaTourelle Resort and Spa Addition — November 2005
e. Homewood Suites scheduled to open Winter 2006
f. Country Garden lnn & Suites scheduled to open Winter 2006
3. The number of inquiries received at the C of C's visitor center has increased each year. For
2005:
a Phone calls received — 12,447
b. Visitors to Visitors Center— 14, 276
c. Requests for travel info for city and county — 1 8,748
d. Visitlthaca.com page visits— 1,336,144
4. The number of meetings, conferences and events booked by the CVB staff has increased
substantially. For 2005, more than 8,000 room nights were booked by the CVB.
117
April 18, 2006
5. Stories about Tompkins County and Ithaca tourist attractions now appear regularly in the travel
media.
6. The county's major arts and cultural organizations are being stabilized and several new events
(e.g. Light in Winter and the Dragon Boat Festival) have been added to the local scene.
7. A larger number of municipal celebrations and ethnic/neighborhood focused events in the
county's towns and villages are being held.
8. The number and diversity of events in downtown Ithaca are increasing, and are attracting more
tourists and local citizens.
9. Our county looks prettier and cleaner to the visitor because of the very active beautification
program initiated with county room tax funds.
Evaluation
There is a continual need to evaluate the programs that the county is funding with the room tax. That
challenge is being undertaken this year by the Strategic Tourism Planning Board, and a report will be
made to the Legislature and to the community when it is completed, hopefully by the end of the year.
Nevertheless, at this time it is evident that we are moving ahead in a positive direction, and are achieving
the goals of the county's tourism program. Success for this type of program does not happen overnight. It
is a careful building process, which takes time and patience.
The tourism funds should be viewed as an investment in the county's future economy. If we keep our
eyes on the basic goals of our program and shepherd the available resources wisely, the entire community
will benefit for many years to come.
Chair's Report
Mr. Joseph reported he received information on two award opportunities: New York State
Environmental Excellence Award and New York State Small Business Awards. He described the criteria
for each award and said he has nomination information if any Legislator is interested.
He requested an executive session to discuss a personnel matter to be held later in the meeting.
Mr. Joseph said he would like to meet briefly with TCAT, Inc., representatives following this
meeting for scheduling purposes.
Report from the County Administrator
Mr. Whicher reported the search process for the position of Deputy County Administrator is
entering the final phase and Legislators will be invited to meet the final candidates on May 2nd at 3:30
p.m. He said there were 75 candidates, seven of whom were interviewed and a selection has been made
of the final two. At the May 2nd meeting, Legislators will be able to ask questions of the candidates.
Mr. Whicher said information has been distributed to all Legislators this evening that pertains to
the upcoming Legislature Retreat. He described the outlook for the 2007 budget as challenging.
Report from the County Attorney
Mr. Wood reported the Bolton Point Water System has not paid its fees for three years and in the
past week brought a lawsuit against the County that claims the fees are unfair. A court will be deciding
118
April 18, 2006
the issue about these particular fees; however, he noted all other entities have been paying their fees all
along.
Mr. Wood addressed comments made earlier in the meeting with regard to Right -of -Way, and
often times roadwork is outside the existing Right -of -Way. Sometimes the Right -of -Way needed is
insignificant and usually not a big problem. He said when the Highway Division decides a road needs to
be improved, the improved road is going to be based on what is safest and what serves the community's
best interest. The notion that was suggested that because something is outside the right-of-way that the
road should be moved is not how it works. There is a strong disagreement between the County and the
particular landowner about whether the County is outside the right-of-way. He believes the County is
within the right-of-way; however, if it is not, the needed right-of-way would be paid for and acquired.
Report from the Finance Director
Mr. Squires reported the Foreclosure auction of delinquent tax properties is scheduled for May
16. He has provided a list of the ten properties to all Legislators.
Mr. Squires reported the auditors have been on-site for three weeks. At this time it appears
accounts are in good shape at year-end with the exception of the decline in the Airport Fund Balance and
the Worker's Compensation fund.
Sales tax for the first quarter of 2006 was up by eight percent and the City experienced a double-
digit increase. Outside the City sales tax went up by approximately four percent. Mr. Squires said next
week Mortgage Recording Tax information will be sent to the towns and villages. That income is up by
approximately five percent over last year. He spoke of interest rates and said they have been rising
quickly. He reported the tobacco companies made their distributions into the settlement and counties
were informed that the largest tobacco company, Phillip Morris, paid according to the master settlement
agreement but the two other large tobacco companies withheld twenty percent based on their
disagreement with the impact of non -participating factors on the market. He expects Tompkins County
to be short on tobacco settlement revenues this year by approximately $70,000.
Finally, Mr. Squires reported the County will be receiving proposals for bond counsel service.
Addition of Resolution(s) to the Agenda
There were no resolution added to the agenda.
Withdrawal of Resolution(s) from the Agenda
Chair Joseph gave Mr. Shinagawa permission to withdraw the resolution entitled Authorizing the
Chair of the Tompkins County Legislature to Send the Attached Letter on Behalf of Bruce McDonald
from the agenda.
Report from the Workforce Diversity and Inclusion Committee
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne, Chair, was not in attendance; no report was given.
Report and Presentation of Resolutions(s) from the Health and Human Services Committee
Mr. Proto, Chair, reported the Committee was met twice since the last Legislature meeting. One
item that took a great deal of discussion was the resolution that will be discussed during this meeting with
regard to Medicare Part D. The Committee was informed the County has been served with a lawsuit by
the Bolton Point Water System and any work that was being done by John Andersson of Environmental
119
April 18, 2006
Health pertaining to those concerns, have been placed on hold as additional work may be necessary as a
result of the lawsuit. The Committee received a report from Tompkins Community Action with regard to
the loss of State and Federal monies. Programs hardest hit are the Head Start and Weatherization
Program. Mr. Proto said there will be a significant impact locally as a result of these funding reductions.
He reported the Board of Health's new open burning regulations were put into effect and information has
been provided to the public through various means, including a printed article in the Ithaca Journal.
Alice Cole, Public Health Director, provided the Committee with a memorandum regarding the
flu pandemic and what action plans are in place. Ms. Cole intends to have an update on the County's
Emergency Management Plan for the Committee in May. Patricia Carey, Department of Social Services
Commissioner, reported on the new Family Custody Court. This is a new court that has been established
to divert low confrontational issues to the Community Dispute Resolution Center and Child Protective
Services and Intervention are going to go directly to the Family Custody Court. Nancy Zahler, Director
of the Youth Services Department, informed the Committee that a Transportation Study for high school
students is being performed to obtain information on what the needs of students are.
Mr. Proto reported two special Committee meetings will be held; however, dates have not yet
been set. The first meeting will be a tutorial on the Medicaid Program; the second will be with hurnan
service agencies to discuss how they fit into budget process; County departments will be invited to
participate as well. He reported the Committee's 2006 Work Plan was approved.
Ms. Kiefer said she does not believe Mr. Andersson's work should be placed on hold because of
the receipt of a lawsuit by the Bolton Point Water System. She said she believes that negotiations should
continue as there are often settlements reached outside of court. Mr. Wood, County Attorney, said he
expects a decision on this before Mr. Andersson would have reported back to the Committee.
RESOLUTION NO. 62 - AUTHORIZING ADDITION OF 0.5 FTE REGISTERED NURSE
POSITION — DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES
MOVED by Mr. Proto, seconded by Mr. Hattery, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by
members present.
WHEREAS, the Department of Social Services needs to increase by 0.5 FTE the staff it dedicates
to serving the growing number of Tompkins County residents who participate in the Expanded Non -
Medical In -Home Services to the Elderly Program (EISEP), and
WHEREAS, the Department will receive a mix of Federal and State reimbursement which,
combined, will cover one hundred percent of the additional costs associated with this increase, and
WHEREAS, the Department of Social Services has a qualified employee, presently working half-
time in that title, who is willing to take on the additional workload and hours, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Health and Human Services and Budget and Capital
Committees, That effective May 1, 2006 one of the Department of Social Services' 0.5 FTE position
Registered Nurse — Grade 14 (565) be increased to full-time (1.0 FTE, 35 hours/week.),
RESOLVED, further, That the Director of Finance is authorized to make the following pro -rated
2006 budget adjustments to reflect this change:
Social Services Adjustments
REVENUE: A6010.44601 Federal — Medicaid $10,005
A6010.43602 State — Medicaid $10,005
APPROPRIATION: A6010.51000.565 Salary — Registered Nurse $14,396
A6010.58800 Fringes $ 5,614
SEQR ACTION: TYPE 11-20
RESOLUTION NO. 63 - SUPPORTING CHANGES IN MEDICARE PART D
120
April 18, 2006
MOVED by Mr. Proto, seconded by Mr. Shinagawa.
It was MOVED by Mr. Hattery, seconded by Mr. Sigler, to substitute with the following
resolution:
RESOLUTION NO. - SUPPORTING CHANGES IN MEDICARE PART D
WHEREAS, Medicare Part D has provided many Medicare recipients with necessary medications
at a more affordable price than before the program was initiated, and
WHEREAS, certain features of the program, however, have created unnecessary complexity and
leave Medicare recipients at risk of signing up for incorrect or inadequate drug coverage, without the
option to change plans, for example:
• During the plan year, after Medicare recipients sign up, insurance companies are permitted to increase
their co -pays, change their formularies, and drop previously covered medications;
• After May 15, 2006, Medicare recipients can only change drug plans once a year (during the six-week
open enrollment periods) even if the drugs they need are dropped from the plan, their medication
needs change to a drug that is not on their plan, or the co -pays go up, and
WHEREAS, because Medicare Part D is provided by private insurance companies rather than as
an add-on to basic Medicare, the decisions Medicare recipients must make are overwhelming and
confusing, and represent a barrier to many people rather than a benefit. For example, recipients in New
York State must choose from among 47 different plans offered by 21 different companies, and
WHEREAS, the resulting confusion about Medicare Part D, as reported in the media and by local
people, makes it hard for many people to meet the May 15, 2006 enrollment deadline, putting them at risk
of paying late enrollment penalties, as follows:
• After May 15, 2006, there is a late enrollment penalty. If a person does not sign up by May 15, they
must wait until the next enrollment period, which is November 15 through December 31, 2006.
People who enroll then will be charged a 7% penalty*.
• Those who enroll in 2007 (November 15 - December 31) will have to pay a 19% late penalty.
• The cost continues to increase each year thereafter by 12%.
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Legislature is concerned about the costs of Medicare Part D
being borne by local government, nonprofits, pharmacists and physicians, specifically extensive staff time
required to help clients negotiate the system, and
WHEREAS, Medicaid recipients who are also eligible for Medicare (called "dual -eligibles"),
including those who are disabled, now must start paying co -pays out of pocket, requiring our Mental
Health Clinic personnel to collect co -pays from some clients and submit for state reimbursement for other
clients, and
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Legislature wants Medicare recipients to have prescription
drug coverage that is as comprehensive, user-friendly and cost-effective as possible, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Health and Human Services Committee, That the
Tompkins County Legislature supports Federal legislation to fix the major problems with Medicare Part
D,
RESOLVED, further, That the Legislature supports ethef legislation that would extend
the initial open enrollment period beyond May 15, 2006, waive the late enrollment penalty, and permit
beneficiaries to change plans if their prescription needs change, or their provider changes the formulary or
significantly raises prices during the benefit year,
RESOLVED, further, That copies of this resolution be forwarded to President George W. Bush,
Senators Charles Schumer, Hillary Clinton, Michael Enzi, Edward Kennedy, Senate Majority Leader
William Frist and Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, and Representatives Maurice Hinchey, Sherwood
Boehlert, Joseph Barton, John Dingell, and Speaker Dennis Hastert.
SEQR ACTION: TYPE I1-20
121
April 18, 2006
Mr. Hattery said he supports the basic issues of the original resolution; however, two aspects of
this he feels strongly about are: he does not feel this Legislature should comment on other legislation
often, but when it is done it is important that it is stated why, as a County, that there is interest in it with
identification of some of the problems Tompkins County has had; the other problem which precipitated
the substitute is supporting a specific piece of national legislation as opposed to addressing the remedies
that are seen as the problem with the current program. For this reason, Mr. Hattery's substitute resolution
removes language pertaining to specific national legislation. Also removed from the substitute resolution
are two Whereases which he feels are related to the specific national legislation.
Mr. Sigler agreed with Mr. Hattery's comments and said he feels as a County Legislator, he is
overstepping his bounds by endorsing this specific legislation. He said it is the responsibility of
Congressmen Boehlert and Hinchey to address this after hearing the concerns of Tompkins County.
Ms. Robertson said she does not support removing the fifth and sixth Whereases as the resolution
will then not recognize the real structure of the program as it is. She feels strongly that there are major
structural flaws with the program and that the language contained in these Whereases needs to remain.
Ms. Herrera said she believes it is important for this Legislature to take a stand on this national
issue, especially because of the impact on the local taxpayer.
Mr. Booth said he is usually reluctant to vote on items that pertain to national politics; however,
he feels it makes sense to do so in this case because of the close relationship this has to many
expenditures in the County budget.
Mr. Proto said he does not feel anyone questions whether this has an impact on the County and its
residents. His concern, however, is that the Legislation is a moving target and while the resolution says
it is the current version that is being addressed because it is not known what will come out of the House
or Senate at this point.
Ms. Kiefer spoke against the substitute resolution because she feels the two original Whereases
are factual, relevant to the effect on Tompkins County, and extremely important. She also wants to see
the resolution include what is desired in the way of changes, remain as it is on the original resolution.
A voice vote on the substitute resolution resulted as follows: Ayes - 3 (Legislators Hattery, Proto,
and Sigler); Noes - 9; Excused - 3 (Legislators Koplinka-Loehr, McBean-Clairborne, and Randall).
MOTION FAILED.
Discussion continued on the original resolution.
It was MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Ms. Robertson, to amend the second Resolved to
read: "RESOLVED, further, That the Legislature urges passage of legislation that would establish a
standard drug -coverage plan, administered by Medicare, and mandate price negotiations for prescription
drugs, such as the original version of the Medicare Prescription Drug Savings and Choice Act of 2005
(H.R. 752 and S. 345) which would thereby save taxpayers billions of dollars,"
Mr. Sigler said this is a $400 billion program that didn't previously exist, therefore, more people
have prescription drug coverage than had it before. He said that although there are problems with the
program, there were also problems with Social Security when that first was put into effect. He pointed
out that neither of the pieces of legislation have been endorsed by a Republican nationally and doesn't see
how something that is not bi-partisan will pass.
Ms. Herrera said as a representative of her constituents who have expressed their dismay about
this program as it currently exists, feels there is a time when local representatives should make a stand.
122
April 18, 2006
Mr. Proto said the concern he has is that a negative vote on this is the appearance that there is not
support for the individuals who have had a rough time applying for coverage. He said he does not believe
that is the message that any member of this Legislature wants to send. He said it has to be clear that his
negative vote is due to him not knowing enough about the two specific pieces of pending legislation. Mr.
Proto said he is very concerned about the individuals who are having a rough time applying and who are
making their way through this. He referred to an article that appeared last week in the Ithaca Journal
that was written on behalf of those people who had applied successfully and who had saved money; one
individual saved over $1,000. He said the system is not perfect, but the legislation contained in the
resolution seem to lend themselves to supporting national health care, which is an issue that is unresolved.
Without objection, Mr. Dennis called the question.
A voice vote on the amendment resulted as follows: Ayes - 10; Noes - 2 (Legislators Hattery and
Proto); Excused - 3 (Legislators Koplinka-Loehr, McBean-Clairborne, and Randall). AMENDMENT
CARRIED.
Ms. Robertson said the $400 billion amount was only the number that was promised when the
Bill was in Congress and that actual estimates are between $560 to $00 billion. She also said the number
of seniors who have voluntarily enrolled is approximately 5 million, which is 12 percent of those who are
eligible. There are another 20 million who have been enrolled through their employer. She also said this
has nothing to do with national health insurance; instead, it saves billions of dollars for individuals instead
of giving those funds to pharmaceutical companies.
Without objection, Mr. Dennis called the question.
A voice vote on the resolution as amended resulted as follows: Ayes - 9; Noes - 3 (Legislators
Hattery, Proto, and Sigler); Excused - 3 (Legislators Koplinka-Loehr, McBean-Clairborne, and Randall).

April 18, 2006
WHEREAS, basic Medicare has much lower administrative overhead (2-3%) than private
insurance companies (15-25%), and Medicare Part D as written includes governmental subsidies to
private insurance companies, and
WHEREAS, the Federal government is prohibited from negotiating on behalf of Medicare
beneficiaries for lower drug prices, and

SEQR ACTION: TYPE 11-20
Report from the Facilities and Infrastructure Committee
Ms. Kiefer, Vice Chair, reported the Committee met on April 11 and toured the Public Safety and
Public Library buildings. The Committee did not have a full compliment of membership to have a
successful vote; therefore, could not advise Mr. Marx, Commissioner of Planning and Public Works, on
Capital Program priorities. Ms. Kiefer said it became clear to her following the meeting that if the
Facilities and Infrastructure Committee did as it was told and only looked at the condition of buildings,
the Health Department would be the building in the greatest need. She said having toured the Public
Safety Building and observed how the program is compromised by the lack of space, although the
building is not as in need of attention as the Health Department building. She said she thinks it would be
good for the Legislature to consider this as well.
Report from the Personnel Committee
Mr. Dennis, Chair, reported the Committee met on April 12 and discussed salaries for the Sheriff
and County Clerk; no decision was made and discussion will continue at the next meeting. The
Committee also discussed the creation of a Health Insurance Subcommittee to look at ways to save money
on health insurance in the future. There was also a discussion of the Diversity Policy and how it should
fit into the Administrative Manual. The next meeting will be May 10 at 3 p.m.

April 18, 2006
Report from the Government Operations Committee
Ms. Herrera, Chair, reported the Committee will meet tomorrow at 3 p.m. at the Tompkins
County Public Library.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Budget and Capital Committee
Ms. Mackesey, Vice Chair, reported the Committee met on April 10 and discussed the option
presented by the State to remove sales tax on clothing and footwear. She said the Committee decided to
wait until the first of the year and also so that a discussion can take place over the next few months on
this. She said Legislators should have received information on the upcoming Budget Retreat.
RESOLUTION NO. 64 — 2005 APPROPRIATIONS AND BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS FOR
SALARY INCREASE — WHITE COLLAR AND BLUE COLLAR
EMPLOYEES (Attachment located at the end of these minutes)
MOVED by Ms. Mackesey, seconded by Mr. Dennis.
Mr. Booth said he does not believe this resolution is necessary and that the funds should remain
in the General Fund as a way to increase flexibility in dealing with the General Fund. He also does not
believe this will have any impact on the Rollover Policy.
Ms. Mackesey said she will support this because it was not a matter of policy that this happened

Regular Meeting
Called to Order
Mr. Joseph called the meeting to order at 5:32 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: 14 Legislators; Excused: 1 (Legislator McBean-Clairborne).
Privilege of the Floor by the Public
Jonathan Miller, Member of the University Neighborhoods Council, read the following letter
from the Council to the Tompkins County Legislature regarding "Requested action to meet challenges
associated with the County's growing deer population" into the record:
"The University Neighborhoods Council, composed of appointed neighborhood association
representatives from Cayuga Heights, Collegetown, Cornell Heights, Ellis Hollow, University Hill and
Varna, plus representatives from Cornell University student groups, departments and administral:ion,
agreed by consensus at its April 25 meeting to urgently request that the Tompkins County Legislature
take immediate action and form a citizen task force or similar group, that can meet as soon as possible to
determine the issues and impacts associated with the county's growing deer population.
"Deer have proven increasingly disconcerting for area property owners, farmers, researchers,
gardeners, motorists and foresters. Simultaneously, human and deer health-related concerns continue to
mount. Deer -vehicle accidents, damage to ornamental plants and gardens in residential areas, crop
damage, and impacts to native plant communities in forests and parks, have become commonplace.
"The University Neighborhoods Council requests that a broad, countywide solutions -oriented
strategy, with opportunities for considerable public input, be developed this spring and summer, with an
emphasis on impact assessment and damage mitigation, including both short -and -long-term solutions.
All viable options for reducing deer impacts should be evaluated.
"Similar communities and counties across the nation have reacted proactively to deer -related
issues. Without a strategy to address these issues, the situation will only get worse. We urge the
Tompkins County Legislature to address this request at its May 2 meeting.
"Thank you for your consideration of this request".
Privilege of the Floor by Legislators
Ms. Robertson, District No. 13 Legislator, responded to Mr. Miller's comments and stated the
Planning, Development, and Environmental Quality Committee will look at this issue. She has been in
contact with one of the experts that was named, as well as Monika Roth of Cooperative Extension, and
this subject will likely be on the Committee's June or July agenda.
Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Legislator, reported that over the past weekend there was a Northeast
sanctioned cycling event with over 500 participants and several hundred supporters that took place in the
Town of Caroline, Richford, and Newark Valley area. The Cornell Cycling Club was involved. He
expressed concern that the Local community was the last to be informed of the event. Fred Bonn of the
Convention and Visitors Bureau said the Chamber of Commerce was made aware of the event
143
May 2, 2006
approximately four weeks ago. Mr. Whicher said this was brought up yesterday at a meeting held
between Cornell and Tompkins County representatives.
Mr. Booth, District No. 3 Legislator, said he agreed with the concerns raised by the University
Neighborhoods Council with regard to the deer population. He said any solution will likely be rnuch
broader than a Countywide solution, will be expensive, and will be a long-term effort. He also said any
effort will need to involve the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
Chair's Report
Mr. Joseph displayed a Lucite desk ornament given by NYSAC (New York State Association of
Counties) to participants in the tobacco settlement and commemorating the five-year anniversary of
tobacco securitization.
He reported on the Living Wage Coalition and stated they now have a certification program for
Living Wage employers. He said given Tompkins County's commitment to this, he will be asking that
Tompkins County be certified as a Living Wage Employer.
Ms. Robertson asked if there was any additional information about the document she received
entitled "Video Franchising Alert". Mr. Joseph said he received the document and distributed it to all
Legislators. He has no further information other than what was contained in the Alert.
Report from the County Administrator
Mr. Whicher reported the search process for the position of Deputy County Administrator is
nearing completion. The Search Committee will meet tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. and he anticipates a final
decision will be made near the end of the week. He also reported on the process for filling the position of
Public Information Officer and stated there is now a valid Civil Service List and the top three candidates
will be interviewed.

Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Planninu, Development and Environmental
Quality Committee
Ms. Robertson, Chair, reported the Committee met on April 20. At that meeting the Committee
heard a report on the Planning Department's Work Plan. The Committee discussed at length the
Affordable Housing Needs Assessment and what some of the next reasonable steps would be. A public
meeting on the Housing Needs Assessment will be held on May 24th. Planning Department staff have
agreed on a number of things to bring forward as next steps, and Mr. Marx, Commissioner of Planning
and Public Works, will be taking these into consideration during the budget process.
The Committee was presented with the Water Resources Council's annual report. Ms. Robertson
said it is an impressive report and said what the group has accomplished is amazing. She announced
public meetings will be held throughout the County on the three natural resources focus areas. Joe
Turcotte, TCAT, Inc. General Manager, provided the Committee with an update on the City Center
project.
Ms. Robertson reported the Strategic Tourism Planning Board brought resolutions for funding
and said there was a great deal of discussion about the capital grant request for the Convention and
Visitors Bureau.
A significant amount of the Committee's time was spent discussing the proposed new sewer
system for Lansing. Ms. Robertson stated six municipalities have been working for seven years on
establishing an extended sewage system that would extend sewage services to a greater part of Lansing.
Town officials feel the cost is too high to go to a public referendum and get support from property owners
so they have been trying to raise funding for the project. Ms. Robertson said it was communicated to the
Committee that they will be requesting $3 million over a ten-year period from the County. She recognized
that this would be a very complex issue; however, given that the lack of infrastructure is a barrier to
affordable housing, the Committee has asked the Lansing group for more information and will be taking
up this issue at a future meeting.
Many concerns were raised by Legislators concerning the anticipated funding request from the
Town of Lansing for the proposed sewer system. Some of the concerns expressed were:
Tompkins County cannot afford to fully fund its own infrastructure costs;
Providing this type of funding sets a precedent, and other municipalities are facing high costs for
infrastructure;
Water and sewer costs are generally paid for by user fees and not general taxes; and
147
May 2, 2006
Assisting communities financially to adhere to the Comprehensive Plan;
Advantages of funding such a request were also expressed, such as:
This could be another way to leverage other needs of the County; and
The County would receive a return on such an important investment.
It was the consensus of the Legislature that while this is a very difficult and controversial item, it
should receive a full review and hearing.
18th.
The next Planning, Development and Environmental Quality Committee meeting will be on May
RESOLUTION NO. 70 - FUNDING OF TOURISM MARKETING AND ADVERTISING
GRANTS
MOVED by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Ms. Herrera. Mr. Sigler disclosed that he is employed
by Park Outdoor Advertising and that firm may be a recipient of some of these funds. It was fell: Mr.
Sigler's disclosure was sufficient and that there was no need for him to abstain from voting on the
resolution.
Mr. Joseph quoted from the Rules of the Legislature, Rule VII - Rules of Voting:
" (2) Every member present when a vote is taken upon any question shall vote unless excused by
unanimous consent of all members present, or unless that member has a direct interest in the result of the
vote". Mr. Joseph said this rule does not state who decides in cases of a conflict of interest whether a
member shall vote and referred this to the Government Operations Committee.
Mr. Randall asked for clarification on the relationship between the Chamber of Commerce
Foundation and the Chamber of Commerce itself.
Ms. McPheeters, Chamber of Commerce President, said the Chamber of Commerce is a 501(c)6
Corporation. They pay property and sales tax and is a business organization and a labor union. The
Chamber Foundation, which is a 501(c)3, was organized approximately 15 years ago for chartable
ventures. The Foundation is a participant in a number of things, including the Waterfront Trail initiative
and the Leadership Tompkins program in cooperation with Tompkins Cortland Community College.
Although there is some overlap, each has a separate board.
Mr. Randall expressed concern over the appearance that this is a side step to apply fro the some
of the Room Tax funds that would not otherwise be able to be applied for through the Chamber.
A voice vote on the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes - 14, Noes - 0, Excused - 1 (Legislator
McBean-Clairborne). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, Tompkins County has a grant program for the marketing and advertising of tourist -

RESOLUTION NO. 71 - FUNDING OF TOURISM PROJECT GRANTS
MOVED by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Mr. Sigler. Mr. Sigler asked if any funding requests

responded that two requests from groups outside the City were received but were not approved for
funding through this program. Those two entities, however, receive funding through other programs. A
voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 14, Noes - 0, Excused - 1 (Legislator McBean-Clairborne).
RESOLUTION ADOPTED.

SEQR ACTION: TYPE 11-20
RESOLUTION NO. 72 - AWARD OF TOURISM CAPITAL GRANTS FROM ROOM
OCCUPANCY TAX FUND (RESOLUTION LOST)
149
May 2, 2006
MOVED by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Ms. Herrera. Mr. Randall said he does not feel this is
an appropriate way to use capital grant funds. Ms. Kiefer said she cannot support this resolution because
she does not feel this money is intended for this type of usage and that the guidelines are clear that these
funds are intended for major visitor generating projects. Although she would use a tourism bureau when
she arrived at a destination, she would not travel somewhere just for the purpose of visiting the tourism
bureau.
Ms. Robertson said the Strategic Tourism Planning Board struggled with this proposal and she
can understand both sides of the discussion. Although it is not a primary destination she believes an
attractive visitor center can have staff that can encourage visitors to stay longer than they had planned or
return to the area, which would result in additional bed nights. Ms. Robertson said she is convinced this
is worthwhile because it will not place constraints on the capital side of the budget.
Scott Wiggins, former Chair of the Strategic Tourism Planning Board and current member, said
regardless of whether there is support for this proposal it will come out of the Room Tax funds from
either the three percent increased rent from the Convention and Visitors Bureau which reduces the
marketing budget or it will come out of the capital grants fund. Mr. Wiggins said there was discussion at
the Planning, Development and Environmental Quality Committee about this being a different type of
grant because it is not necessarily visitor generating. However, Mr. Wiggins said they do believe that
with the scenic byways in place and the great job that is done at the Visitors Office that people who are
just passing through may end up staying. He also said there has been a 25% increase in room inventory
in the County over the last two years and rooms are continuing to be added. He stated they need every
dollar to be used from the marketing standpoint to drive more demand. The Capital Grants program has a
significant amount of funds and this will not be a hardship on that program.
Mr. Proto asked how much of the room tax goes to the Convention and Visitor's Bureau/Chamber
of Commerce. Ms. McPheeters responded $650,000 most of this goes towards marketing and the salaries
of staff, and usage of the building. He feels this is an inappropriate investment because the county does
not have any equity interest in this building. He said he would prefer to see an increase in building rent.
Mr. Sigler asked Ms. McPheeters to comment on the statement that the Convention and Visitors
Bureau is not a primary tourist destination. She said she, too, was not certain if this grant request was
appropriate, although she agreed with Mr. Wiggin's comments.
It was MOVED by Mr. Shinagawa, seconded by Mr. Sigler, to call the question. A voice vote on
the motion to Call the Question resulted as follows: Ayes - 13, Noes - 1 (Legislator Joseph), Excused - 1
(Legislator McBean-Clairborne). MOTION CARRIED.
A voice vote on the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes 7 (Legislators Booth, Dennis, Herrera,
Robertson, Shinagawa, Sigler, and Stevenson); Noes - 7 (Legislators Hattery, Joseph, Kiefer, Koplinka-
Loehr, Proto, and Mackesey, and Randall); Excused - 1 (Legislator McBean-Clairborne). RESOLUTION

Report from the Facilities and Infrastructure Committee
Mr. Randall, Chair, reported the Committee met on April 25 and heard concerns raised by Don
Barber, Town of Caroline Supervisor, with regard to the Boiceville Road Bridge. The Committee was
informed that Tony Rudy, Assistant Airport Manager, has completed his requirements to become a
Nationally Certified Airport Executive. There are only four individuals in the State of New York with
this certification, of which now two are employed by the Ithaca -Tompkins Regional Airport. The 20 -year
Capital Plan was discussed at length; the Committee by a 3-2 vote endorsed the following order of
priorities: Public Health Department, Public Safety Building, and the Center of Government Building.
Mr. Randall reported Tompkins County will be participating in the Nike Sneaker Recycling Plan in
conjunction with Cornell University, Ithaca College, and Herkimer County. He announced the
Tompkins County Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day will be held on May 20th. The next
meeting will be May 23rd. The Committee has decided to meet only one time per month unless a need
arises for a second meeting.
Report from the Personnel Committee
Mr. Dennis, Chair, reported the Committee will meet on May 10th. At that meeting the
Committee will discuss the County Clerk and Sheriff salary schedule. He reported discussion on the
health insurance plan is moving ahead and will continue at the next meeting.
Report from the Government Operations Committee
Ms. Herrera, Chair, reported the Committee met on April 19 and discussed several issues
including an article brought forward by Legislator Kiefer with regard to an increase in the value of timber
which has resulted in assessment increases. The Committee also discussed public access to records and
the legislative bill that in the State Legislature at the present time that suggests all public information be
made available on the internet. The Committee received a report from the Finance Director on properties
scheduled for sale at that foreclosure auction. Ms. Herrera reported some department heads have agreed
to serve on a Committee with Mr. Potter, Director of Information Technology Services, to look at the
County's Communication Policy and enforcement and report back to the Committee. She stated that she
will be asking for a report on the Help America Vote Act from the Elections Department as there has been
action at the State level on this subject. The Committee discussed and approved the Diversity Policy and
forwarded it to the Personnel Committee.
Ms. Herrera said she has been meeting with staff and has distributed a memo on the advisory
board process that identifies three major issues: shall Government Operations prepare and recommend
changes to the County charter to clarify the role of Legislators who serve in voting seats on advisory
boards, shall Government Operations prepare and recommend changes to the County charter that clarify
the role of the Legislature in the appointment process, detailing a consistent procedure for advisory board
nominations, recommendations, and voting on appointments, what ethics issues, if any, arise when a
Legislator serves on an advisory board as chair, in a non-voting seat, in a seat not specifically designated
as a legislative seat, or as liaison to the Legislature? Ms. Herrera said most of the other issues that were
originally suggested would require a thorough and comprehensive review, which would have a cost
associated with staffing.
The next meeting will be May 17th at the History Center.
Report from the Budget and Capital Committee
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, Chair, reported the Committee met on April 24 and discussed the financial
goals resolution that was forwarded to the Legislature's budget retreat. The Legislature will take action

Member -Filed Resolution
RESOLUTION NO. 74 - SUPPORT OF THE UPDATED AND EXPANDED BOTTLE BILL (THE
"BIGGER, BETTER BOTTLE BILL") TO INCLUDE NON-
CARBONATED BEVERAGES AND TO RETAIN THE UNCLAIMED
DEPOSITS TO SUPPORT MUNICIPAL RECYCLING AND WASTE
PREVENTION PROGRAMS
MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Mr. Booth. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 13,
Noes - 1 (Legislator Stevenson), Excused - 1 (Legislator McBean-Clairborne). RESOLUTION
ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the Returnable Container Act of 1982, commonly referred to as the "Bottle Bill,"
has been one of the most effective State laws to increase recycling rates and reduce curbside litter, and
WHEREAS, that law requires a minimum 5 -cent refundable deposit on carbonated soft drinks,
beer, malt beverages, sparkling water, and wine coolers, thereby creating an economic incentive for the
collection and return of these beverage containers, and
WHEREAS, that law has resulted in an average return rate of 75% over its first twenty years,
totaling over 75 billion bottles and cans, virtually all of which have been recycled, and
WHEREAS, that law has diverted more than 5.2 million tons from the waste stream, saving
municipalities money in solid waste collection and disposal costs, and
WHEREAS, that law has reduced litter by 30%, which has resulted in safer and more attractive
streets, parks, playgrounds, beaches, and roadsides and has prevented injuries and property damage from
broken glass, and
WHEREAS, since the law was enacted, non -carbonated beverages such as bottled water, juices,
teas, and sports drinks have been introduced into the consumer stream and their containers have been
introduced into the waste stream, and
WHEREAS, these new products now make up more than 20% of the beverage containers sold in
New York and it is time to update the Bottle Bill to include these new products, and
WHEREAS, separate litter surveys conducted by the American Littoral Society and Scenic
Hudson in 2002 show that non -carbonated beverages make up 62% of the beverage container litter in
New York parks and on New York beaches, and
WHEREAS, expanding the Bottle Bill to include these containers would divert an additional 2.5
billion bottles and cans each year from the waste stream, reducing litter and easing the burden on
municipal solid waste programs, and
WHEREAS, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYDEC)
estimates that $85-137 million annually is generated from unclaimed deposits under the existing deposit
law system and not returned to the people of New York State for environmental purposes, and
WHEREAS, under the existing law the bottlers and distributors who initiate the deposit collection
system enjoy a five cent windfall for each container that is not returned; in contrast, under the proposed
153
May 2, 2006
law, they would be required to submit the unclaimed deposits quarterly to the Department of Taxation and
Finance to be deposited in the Environmental Protection Fund, while their '`handling fee" would be
increased from two cents up to three and one-half cents per container, and
WHEREAS, Senate bill S.1290D and Assembly bill A.2517D would expand the Bottle Bill to
include bottled water, tea, juice and sports drinks, and would require that unredeemed deposits be credited
to the State Environmental Protection Fund and be distributed regionally, by DEC region, in proportion to
the amount that came in from each region, and
WHEREAS, the Container Recycling Institute estimates that this proposed legislation could
generate more than $175 million a year in new revenue for New York State, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the Tompkins County Legislature urges passage of State legislation, S.1290D
and A.2517D, which would expand and update the Bottle Bill to include additional beverages; support
increased recycling; curb litter; reduce costs for municipalities; allow State assistance grants toward the
costs of reverse vending machines and establishment of additional redemption centers; and provide a
steady stream of funding for the Environmental Protection Fund,
RESOLVED, further, That the Tompkins County Legislature also supports an increase inthe
deposit amount from five cents to ten cents per item.

Privilege of the Floor by the Public
Allen Lambert, City of Ithaca, spoke regarding the rules used by the Assessment Department in
cases of small apartments and other small commercial businesses. He said he owns a small four -unit

determination made by the Department were unfair and will eventually lead to property owners not being
able to afford properties in Tompkins County.
record:
Beverly Livesay, Town of Ithaca resident, read and submitted the following statement for the
"Good evening. My name is Beverly Livesay. I am speaking to you on behalf of the League of
Women Voters Committee studying the unmet needs of young children living in poverty in Tompkins
County in support of the resolution authorizing the application for the JARC grant.
"Among our more alarming findings are that 17% of children under 5 live in families that are
below the poverty level, and that in a service -rich County there are many children whose needs are not
being met. Some of the barriers we encountered are waiting lists for services, and inadequate access to
transportation to health care, parents' jobs, childcare and food resources.
"Our study is ongoing and we will doubtless be back to you again as we seek your actions to help
ensure that all children in Tompkins County get the start in life that will help them to achieve their full
potential. In the immediate future, the opportunities presented by this grant to help with some of the
transportation needs are timely and should not be missed."
Presentation of Distinguished Youth Award
Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Legislator, presented Thomas Schwartz of Danby, with the

Tompkins County.
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne, District No. 2 Legislator, said it is great to see young people helping to
play a key role in volunteering. She also thanked everyone for their support while she has been on
maternity leave and said her daughter, Indira Martine Clairborne, is two months old and doing very well.
She said she is able to be in attendance this evening because of the many people who have given her the

Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Legislator, said he is having distributed to Legislators a copy of the
Cayuga Lake Watershed Network's "Smart Steps for Clean Water". He called attention to the NYSEG's

RESOLUTION NO. 76 - AUTHORIZING AN APPLICATION FOR 2006 FEDERAL JOB
ACCESS AND REVERSE COMMUTE GRANT (JARC) —
TOMPKINS CONSOLIDATED AREA TRANSIT AND TOMPKINS
COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES
MOVED by Ms. Herrera, seconded by Mr. Proto. Ms. Herrera spoke in support of this program.
Ms. Carey, Commissioner of Social Services, said this is a new way of looking at this funding. Three
years ago the same grant was received; however, at that time the funding was used to look at increased
and fixed -route issues. This time they are looking at splitting the money in half with half going to TCAT
to address some of the route issues and the other half going to DSS to focus on specific issues regarding
low-income individuals living in the community who are having transportation needs related to
employment. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 14, Noes - 0, Excused - 1 (Legislator Robertson).
RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the Federal Transit Administration Section 5316, Job Access and Reverse Commute
Program (JARC) has two goals: to provide transportation services to low and moderate income
individuals to access employment opportunities, and to encourage coordinated transportation planning
and service delivery between transportation agencies, human service and social service agencies,
metropolitan planning agencies, states, employers and affected communities and individuals, and
WHEREAS, Tompkins County was appropriated $544,963 in JARC funds by Congress in the
Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) of
2005 (CFR Vol. 70, No. 229, November 30, 2005), and
WHEREAS, Tompkins County proposes to use these JARC funds as follows:
For Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit - $297,201 for public transit service expansion targeted
to underserved employment centers, a guaranteed ride program for TCAT pass users and marketing for
the JARC Program, during the period of July 2006 to June 2009,

May 16, 2006
For the County Department of Social Services - $247,762 for a travel broker, night taxi service,
subscription van, flexible services, car -share and public information, during the period of July 2006 to
June 2009,
WHEREAS, these uses of JARC funds implements service priorities identified in JARC Program
Plans of 2000 and 2002 (County Resolution No. 129 of 2002), as revised in 2006, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Health and Human Services and the Planning,
Development, and Environmental Quality Committees, That the Tompkins County Legislature authorizes
the application of $544,963 in Job Access and Reverse Commute funds to the Federal Transit
Administration,

Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Health and Human Services Committee
RESOLUTION NO. 77 - SUPPORT OF PANDEMIC FLU PLANNING EFFORTS — HEALTH
DEPARTMENT
MOVED by Mr. Proto, seconded by Mr. Booth. Mr. Proto stated in the Health and Human
Services Committee, Legislator Robertson voted against this resolution because she was concerned that it
would be viewed as giving the Health Department an early lead in the budget process but it really doesn't.
A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 14, Noes - 0, Excused - 1 (Legislator Robertson).
RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, Pandemic Influenza could cause serious illness and result in disruption of social and
business activity in Tompkins County, and
WHEREAS, the effects of a pandemic could be less severe if appropriate preparations are in
place prior to a pandemic, and
WHEREAS, in addition to the Health Department, other agencies and the general public will be
asked to participate in planning for, coordinating responses to, and sharing resources to deal with a
pandemic, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Health and Human Services and the Public Safety
Committees, That the Health and Human Services Committee, the Public Safety Committee, and the
Tompkins County Legislature consider preparedness for pandemic flu and other health emergencies to be
a high priority and pledge support of the efforts of the Tompkins County Health Department in
coordinating the planning for Pandemic Influenza for the protection of the residents of Tompkins County.

Presentation and Withdrawal of Resolution(s) from the Personnel Committee
RESOLUTION NO. - AMENDMENT OF TOMPKINS COUNTY DIVERSITY STATEMENT
MOVED by Mr. Dennis, seconded by Mrs. McBean-Clairborne. Mr. Proto said most of what is
in this resolution is already contained in the Community Affirmative Action Plan; that Plan also includes
the establishment of the Community Affirmative Action Committee. He said that Committee does not
158
May 16, 2006
have any appointed members at the present time and the last time it had a full complement of members
was 1999. He said there is a lot of redundancy to what is already on the books. Mr. Proto stated itis not
his intention to take away from the work of the Workforce Diversity and Inclusion Committee; however,
he believes this Legislature should be updating the Community Affirmative Action Plan. When he
asked Shawn Martel Moore, Director of Human Rights, if the Plan was broken, she responded that it was
not. He said he cannot support this resolution because he feels what is already on the County's books
should be implemented appropriately.
It was MOVED by Mr. Booth, seconded by Ms. Kiefer, to amend Section IV. EXPECTATIONS:
No. 11, to read: "The Commissioner of Personnel will continue to track the interviewing, hiring, transfer,
promotion, and discharge of all personnel in order to encourage the achievement and maintenance of
diversity within the Tompkins County workforce".
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne said she had a couple of changes she would like made to the resolution
and requested permission to have the resolution withdrawn. Chair Joseph granted permission for the
motions to be withdrawn and the resolution will be brought back to a future Legislature meeting.
RESOLUTION WITHDRAWN.
Report from the Workforce Diversity Committee
Ms. Martel -Moore, who has been chairing the Committee in Mrs. McBean-Clairborne's absence,
said the group will welcome any suggested changes to the previous resolution. She reported the
Committee is proceeding ahead with a marketing plan and is in the process of developing a logo. She
said a draft of the overall Diversity Plan will be presented to the full Committee in June.
Chair's Report
Mr. Joseph reported the State Comptroller issued an audit report today on the Industrial
Development Agency.
Mr. Joseph reported the Planning, Development and Environmental Quality Committee is
meeting Thursday and is short two members; he requested volunteers for temporary appointment to this
Committee. Ms. Mackesey said she would be willing to serve on a temporary basis.
Mr. Proto said three members in attendance constitute a quorum. Mr. Joseph responded that a
few weeks ago he announced that several committees had experienced a shortage in members and were
left with actions being unable to proceed forward. He notified Legislators that he intends to fill
committees whenever there are absences and he has the opportunity to make a temporary appointment.
Mr. Proto challenged the ruling of the Chair as to the appointment of temporary members to a
standing committee when there is quorum in order for items to not be blocked from moving forward.
Ms. Herrera noted that Mr. Joseph asked for volunteers which she feels is random and impartial.
Mr. Hattery read the following Rule XIII from the Rules of the Legislature: "The Chair of the
Legislature may make temporary appointments to fill vacancies on any committee caused by the absence
of any of its members whenever a necessity exists for such appointment or appointments, but this should
be the exception rather than the rule." Mr. Hattery said the question lies in the interpretation of the word
"necessity".
Mr. Joseph said it is the ruling of the Chair to appoint members whenever there are not five
Committee members present. It was MOVED by Mr. Proto to object to this ruling based on the reading
of the Rule of the Legislature, which indicates it needs to be a necessity to make this ruling. He said he
159
May 16, 2006
does not believe a necessity is apparent when there are three members of a standing committee in
attendance. The motion was SECONDED by Mr. Hattery.
A voice vote overruling the ruling of the Chair resulted as follows: Ayes - 5 (Legislators Hattery,
Kiefer, Proto, Randall, and Sigler); Noes - 7 (Legislators Booth, Dennis, Herrera, Koplinka-Loehr,
Mackesey, McBean-Clairborne, and Shinagawa); Excused from Voting - 1 (Chair Joseph); Excused - 1
(Legislator Robertson). MOTION FAILED; the ruling of the Chair was upheld.
Ms. Kiefer said until very recently the appointment of members to fill standing committees has
been the exception rather than the rule. She said she serves on Committees that experienced items not
moving forward because of a lack of members in attendance; however, the problem she sees with
appointing temporary members to standing committees is the lack of background information the person
would have about a particular issue being discussed. She believes this is why the Rule states that these
appointments should be the exception rather than the rule and encouraged Mr. Joseph to return to making
these appointments in that way.
Mr. Joseph said he decided action was needed because a couple of members of this Legislature
were on extended leaves and it was making committees not function adequately. He would like to
discontinue making these appointments when those Legislators return to attending meetings on a regular
basis.
Mr. Joseph announced he received an invitation to participate in Schuyler County's Annual
Cardboard Boat Regatta on June 17th and asked for anyone who is interested to contact him.
Report from the County Administrator
Mr. Whicher reported on the Communications Capital Project and said the project has received
final approval from the Town of Ithaca on the South Hill site. He said most issues with the towns have
been resolved and he is very optimistic all of the concerns have been addressed. He noted this is a major
step forward for the project. In response to a question he explained he used the term "approval" because
stated Ithaca College is the actual applicant for the South Hill site and the County is not applying to the
Town of Ithaca; therefore, that terminology will not be used in the future.
Mr. Whicher requested an executive session to discuss negotiations later in the meeting.
Report from the County Attorney
Ms. Hertzberg, Assistant County Attorney, had no report.
Report from the Facilities and Infrastructure Committee
Mr. Randall, Chair, had no report. The Committee will meet on May 24th at 3 p.m.
Addition of Resolution(s) to the Agenda
It was MOVED by Mr. Dennis, seconded by Ms. Herrera, and unanimously adopted by voice
vote by members present, to approve the addition to the agenda of the resolution entitled Ratification of
Bargaining Agreement - Correction Officer Local 2062 Union. (This resolution was withdrawn following
executive session).
Withdrawal of Resolution(s) from the Agenda
The following resolution(s) were withdrawn during the meeting:
160
May 16, 2006
Amendment of Tompkins County Diversity Statement
Resolution to Abolish Administrative Policy 03-04 - Emergency Fringe Pool
Ratification of Bargaining Agreement - Correction Officer Local 2062 Union
Report from the Planning, Development and Environmental Quality Committee
Ms. Herrera, Vice Chair, reported the Committee met prior to this Legislature meeting. The next
meeting will be May 18th at 3 p.m.
Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Personnel Committee
RESOLUTION NO. — RESOLUTION TO ABOLISH ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY 03-04 -
EMERGENCY FRINGE POOL
MOVED by Mr. Dennis, seconded by Mr. Proto. Ms. Herrera said it is her understanding that
some employees are under the impression that long-term disability plans have not been negotiated into all
agreements and that some employees feel that the existing safety -net could be fixed.
Mr. Randall said he cannot support this resolution and many of his views about this come from
personal experience. He said having such a plan in place can make a difference for some people to
survive through a difficult time as well as being a way for co-workers to help someone in need.
Mr. Dennis said he spoke with the Personnel Commissioner about this today. The program has
been in a state of limbo for approximately six months and asked Mr. Whicher to comment. Mr. Whicher
said a concern was brought to him by the Personnel Commissioner regarding problematic funding issues
of the program. He said after looking at this with the Finance Director and the Personnel Commissioner it
was concluded that because each of the bargaining units, with one exception, have a disability plan in
place, that the program should be discontinued. The bargaining unit that does not have a disability plan
was offered that option, however, it chose to stay with a sick -day plan.
Mr. Joseph suggested that this resolution be withdrawn and that the Committee discuss it again.
Ms. Kiefer said she does not feel taking this back to Committee will change the conclusion; however, a
month ago the Personnel Commissioner was asked to come back with options for employees who want to
help co-workers do so and that information has not yet been received.
Ms. Kiefer offered the following friendly amendment: "RESOLVED, further, That the Personnel
Commissioner is hereby requested to develop options for a new program formalizing how County
employees may help a fellow employee in a time of severe need." Mr. Dennis did not accept this as a
friendly amendment and said he would prefer this resolution be withdrawn and taken back to the
Personnel Committee. Chair Joseph granted permission to Mr. Dennis to withdraw the resolution from
the agenda. RESOLUTION WITHDRAWN.
RESOLUTION NO. - ESTABLISHING ANNUAL SALARY FOR THE POSITION OF
COUNTY CLERK FOR THE YEARS 2007, 2008, 2009, AND 2010
MOVED by Mr. Proto, seconded by Mr. Stevenson, to approve the following resolution:
WHEREAS, State law requires this Board to establish salaries for the position of County Clerk,
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, the salary for the position of County Clerk for the years 2003-2006 was hereby
established based on inflation as represented by the average of three most recent full years Federal CPI,
161
May 16, 2006
namely a 2.77 percent annual increase, plus an extra $500 to be added to the annual base salary, for each
year, resulting in 2006 salary as follows:

RESOLUTION NO. - ESTABLISHING ANNUAL SALARY FOR THE POSITION OF
COUNTY CLERK FOR THE YEARS 2007, 2008, 2009, AND 2010
WHEREAS, State law requires this Board to establish salaries for the position of County Clerk,
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

WHEREAS, the salary for the position of County Clerk for the years 2003-2006 was hereby
established 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, resulting in 2006 salary as follows:
County Clerk - $61,203
, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the salary for the position of County Clerk for the year 2007 be $67,667,
RESOLVED, further, That the County Clerk's salary for the years 2008-2010 increase at the
same rate as the management salary.
SEQR ACTION: TYPE II -20
Ms. Mackesey said she feels when someone runs for a political office they do so knowing what
the salary is and she thinks that trying to put a political office into a point -grade system is not a good fit.
She said both positions of Sheriff and County Clerk have people who work directly under them who take
on a huge amount of administrative responsibility and who are appropriately compensated. She said it
would not be fair to employees in other bargaining units to offer this amount of an increase to two
positions.
It was MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Ms. Mackesey, to substitute the substitute with the
following resolution:

Report from the Government Operations Committee
Ms. Herrera, Chair, reported the Committee will meet tomorrow at the History Center. Mr.

Legislator let him know if there is any issue they would like addressed at that meeting. A tour of the
Center will take place at 4 p.m.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Budget and Capital Committee
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, Chair, reported the Committee met on May 8th and discussed the 20 -year
Capital Plan and financial goals. He said the Committee is trying to look at the long-term picture in an
effort to level out long-term capital decisions on the tax levy. He reported on the budget calendar and
said the certification of Rollover funds has been pushed one month later'.
RESOLUTION NO. 80 — ESTABLISHMENT OF 2007 COUNTY BUDGET GOALS
MOVED by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, seconded by Mr. Shinagawa.
WHEREAS, Tompkins County, as part of its budget policy and process, wishes to develop
financial parameters for the County, to establish the framework for the budget over the next year, and
WHEREAS, just to continue existing in County programs and services in 2007, a maintenance of
effort tax levy increase of approximately 5.6 percent is necessary, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Capital Committee, That the Legislai.ure,
wishing to balance public needs with taxpayer concerns, establishes the goal of a maximum tax -levy
increase of 3 percent for 2007 resulting in a 0.2 percent tax rate increase for 2007,
RESOLVED, further, That the County Administrator will work with staff to recommend
modifications to employee health and prescription costs and further consolidations of departments and
functions where opportunities exist for improved efficiencies.
SEQR ACTION: TYPE 11-20
It was MOVED by Mr. Stevenson, seconded by Mr. Hattery, to substitute the above resolution
with the following resolution:
RESOLUTION NO. — ESTABLISHMENT OF 2007 COUNTY FINANCIAL GOALS
WHEREAS, Tompkins County, as part of its budget policy and process, wishes to develop
financial parameters for the County, to establish the framework for the budget over the next year, now
therefore be it
165
May 16, 2006
RESOLVED, That the Legislature, wishing to balance public needs with taxpayer concerns,
establishes the goal of a maximum tax levy increase of zero percent for 2007 resulting in a an
approximate 2.8 percent tax rate decrease for 2007,
SEQR ACTION: TYPE I1-20
Ms. Herrera spoke in support of the substitute and stated it is important that the public see that
this Legislature is making an effort to do this.
Mr. Randall spoke in support of the 0% goal in the substitute resolution and stated this is an
attempt to get spending under control.
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne said departments and this Legislature have worked very hard over the
last couple of years to get spending under control. She expressed caution to members of the Legislature
to not allow suffering to happen for the very individuals that some are trying to protect with the zero
percent tax levy increase.
Mr. Proto reminded Legislators that this is the beginning of the budget season and each year this
body is under a magnifying glass by the public. He said this evening voting is taking place for school
district budgets and he cannot recall a time when a lot of public discourse was encouraged with regard to
those budgets, while school tax represents a large portion of taxes property owners pay.
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr stated he cannot support the substitute resolution because the three percent
tax levy increase translates to cutting programs by $800,000. The substitute proposal on the floor
translates to a reduction of $1.8 million. He said there is not a process for program evaluation or for
eliminating entire departments and he cannot support the proposed substitute resolution. He said a three
percent increase is what has been established by the increase in assessments for "new lumber",
representing new additions and property assessments related to new construction. He said at a three
percent tax levy increase on average no one's bill will go up because the new building will absorb the
difference. He feels this is a healthy way to maintain the organization without drastic cuts.
Mr. Dennis said he cannot support the proposed substitute resolution because he feels a three
percent tax levy increase will be difficult enough to accomplish.
Mr. Sigler said he feels the underlying problem still needs to be addressed because the budget
goes up each year. He said he supports looking at any way to explore reductions.
Mr. Hattery said he supports making an effort to accomplish a zero percent tax levy increase.
Mr. Mackesey said the increases in the budget are attributed to contract negotiations and
increases passed along from the State. She reiterated comments made by Mrs. McBean-Clairborne and
expressed concern for the residents who depend heavily on the services the County provides.
Ms. Herrera said there are residents who can no longer afford their homes in this community and
although she understands that when services are cut there is a price to be paid, she believes there is a
greater good to be gained from setting a goal of zero percent.
Mr. Shinagawa said he feels setting a goal of zero percent is impractical as it equates to $1.8 to
$2.2 million (including Capital costs) in cuts to local spending. He said this threatens programs that
have already been receiving cuts for years and these are programs that people depend on. Mr. Shinagawa
said this action threatens the quality of the County's workforce and has the possibility of making people
"jump ship". He feels setting a three percent goal sends the same message as setting a zero percent goal
166
May 16, 2006
will have because the Legislature is still saying that cuts still need to be made but that there is a goal to
maintain the quality of the County's workforce and programs.
Mr. Booth called the question.
A voice vote on the proposed substitute resolution resulted as follows: Ayes - 7 (Legislators
Booth, Hattery, Herrera, Proto, Randall, Sigler, and Stevenson); Noes - 7 (Legislators Dennis, Joseph,
Kiefer, Koplinka-Loehr, Mackesey, McBean-Clairborne, and Shinagawa); Excused - 1 (Legislator
Robertson). MOTION FAILED.
It was MOVED by Mrs. McBean-Clairborne, seconded by Mr. Booth, to amend the original
resolution as follows: "establishes the goal of a maximum tax levy increase of 2 percent for 2007...". A
voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 4 (Legislators Booth, Mackesey, McBean-Clairborne, and Sigler);
Noes - 10; Excused - 1 (Legislator Robertson). MOTION FAILED.
A roll call vote on the original resolution resulted as follows: Ayes - 7 (Legislators Booth,

Herrera, McBean-Clairborne, Proto, Randall, Sigler, and Stevenson); Excused - 1 (Legislator Robertson).
RESOLUTION FAILED.
Mr. Booth said it is a significant mistake to not provide the County Administrator with direction
in preparing a budget.
It was MOVED by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, seconded by Mr. Shinagawa, to approve the previous
resolution with the following first Resolved: "RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and
Capital Committee, That the Legislature, wishing to balance public needs with taxpayer concerns,
establishes the goal of approximately a 2.8 percent tax levy increase for 2007 for the County
Administrator's tentative budget, resulting in a 0.0 percent tax rate increase for 2007". A roll call vote
resulted as follows: Ayes - 7 (Legislators Booth, Dennis, Joseph, Koplinka-Loehr, Mackesey,
Shinagawa, and Sigler); Noes - 7 (Legislators Hattery, Herrera, Kiefer, McBean-Clairborne, Proto,
Randall, and Stevenson); Excused - 1 (Legislator Robertson). MOTION FAILED.
Ms. Kiefer noted the irony that we have spent the last few years explaining the importance for the
public to look at the tax levy, and now suddenly we are reverting to setting a goal for the tax rate.
It was MOVED by Mrs. McBean-Clairborne, seconded by Mr. Booth, to Reconsider the previous
motion. Mrs. McBean-Clairborne agreed with Mr. Booth that providing direction to the County
Administrator in preparing a budget is very important. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 10; Noes
- 4 (Legislators Hattery, Herrera, Kiefer, and Proto); Excused - 1 (Legislator Robertson). MOTION
CARRIED.
A roll call vote resulted as follows on the original resolution as amended: Ayes - 8 (Legislators

(Legislators Herrera and Sigler); Excused - 1 (Legislator Robertson). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.

RESOLUTION NO. 82 - AMENDMENT TO BYLAWS - ADVISORY BOARD ON INDIGENT
REPRESENTATION (RESOLUTION LOST)
MOVED by Mr. Booth, seconded by Mr. Dennis. Mr. Proto said he was one of the original
Legislators involved in the creation of this advisory board. He spoke in opposition to changing the
bylaws to allow one individual to serve as a member and said the Government Operations Committee is
reviewing the advisory board appointment process at its meeting tomorrow.
Mr. Booth said the conclusion presented at the Committee was that OAR (Offender Aid and
Restoration) is a very important part of the discussions of this Committee and this is a wise step to ensure
representation by the current director.
Mr. Hattery stated nothing prevents an individual from participating without being a member.
Mr. Stevenson said he, too, opposed this at the Public Safety Committee meeting because he
thinks the issue of residency needs further discussion.
Other Legislators expressed a desire to allow the Government Operations Committee to review
the overall issue of residency during its review of appointments to advisory boards and to not take action
making an exception to the County's residency requirement for one specific advisory board.
Mr. Joseph said he is opposed to the County's current residency policy, particularly when
situations like this arise. He said he would support a change to that policy but will not support doing it
"piece meal".

She said there have been recent articles on the topic appearing in The New York Times. In addition,
discussions are being undertaken by the State Department and the New York State Senate. Ms. Gougakis
asked that Legislators contact Assemblyman Sheldon Silver and Senator Joseph Bruno. She then spoke
out against the use of cell phones in the Tompkins County Public Library; indicating it is very disruptive
to users of the facility. Ms. Gougakis again asked for County support to develop a policy that disallows
use of cell phones in the library.
Privilege of the Floor by Legislators
Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Legislator, noted that today was the anniversary of the invasion at
Normandy and asked that members take a moment to consider how fellow Americans participated in the
event that helped others to be free. He reported that the New York State Senate passed legislation that
will allow approximately 100 acres of the former Sampson Army Base/Airfield to be set aside as a
Veteran's Cemetery, and an additional 90 acres for the Finger Lakes Land Trust. He expressed
appreciation for the Legislature's support of this and stated the Assembly has a companion bill. On
Thursday he will be in attendance at a meeting in Geneva to develop an advisory board regarding the
Veteran's Cemetery. Mr. Proto then expressed concern regarding eminent domain as it may apply to the
proposed scenic walk around the south end of Cayuga Lake (Cayuga Lake Waterfront Trail). Several
business owners have contacted him regarding this matter and he would like the City representatives to be
aware of the concern and possibly discuss the matter with the individuals. Mr. Proto said he hopes to
have discussions at the Planning, Development, and Environmental Quality Committee on the topic.
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, District No. 11 Legislator, thanked all individuals who worked on the
planning and implementation of the Community Diversity Roundtable. He said it was anticipated to have
approximately 70 registrants, yet the registration was closed at 180. He commended all involved in this
function.

Ms. Robertson, District No. 13 Legislator, reported on receiving a report on the Overlook at West
Hill housing development that will provide leased housing at mixed -income levels. Fifteen percent of the
housing is set aside for individuals/families at 30 percent of the median income, with the balance for
individuals at 50 or 60 percent of median income. At this time, the lowest and mid-range units have been
leased. Ms. Robertson then spoke of the commuter survey that has gathered information from Cornell
University and downtown employees. The survey indicates the need for park and ride facilities near
Pyramid Mall as well as in the Dryden area. Ms. Robertson commented that upon review of the May 116th
Legislature meeting she disagreed with the comments that the 2005 election results were connected to
setting of budgets, that five out of seven legislature are new because of retirements.
Mr. Stevenson, District No. 8 Legislator, announced that Soil and Water Conservation District
will hold an Old Tire Collection Day on June 24th, 8 a.m. — 12:30 p.m., at the Town of Lansing Highway
Barn. Any tire can be disposed of at the cost of $1.00.
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne, District No. 2 Legislator, announced that Saturday, June 10th is the
Greater Ithaca Activities Center (GIAC) festival from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m., and encouraged all to attend. In
addition, she also spoke of the Community Diversity Roundtable's success. Mrs. McBean-Clairborne
announced the Latino Civic Association Picnic will take place on June 11th at Stewart Park.
Mr. Booth, District No. 3 Legislator, addressed Ms. Gougakis' topic of cell phone use in the
library. He said the policy is determined by the Library Board of Trustees, but he does not understand
why they have not amended the policy. Mr. Booth then reported on the topic of cellular telephones and
phone calls through computers, noting it is important for individuals attempting to contact emergency
services through these means to provide their location. He believes this will be a growing concern as
more communications are handled in this manner. Mr. Booth also stated that the Supreme Court's
decision on eminent domain did not change the existing law in opinion of most experts.
Ms. Herrera, District No. 5 Legislator, announced that the Annual Brooklyn Picnic will take place
on June 9th at Stewart Park. She then reported that Cornell University's Olin Library has a no cell phone
ruling, however, there is an enforcement problem associated with it. She recognized that Ms. Gougakis
has repeatedly asked this be addressed and hopes it will be handled in a moderate manner.
Mr. Dennis, District No. 15 Legislator, reminded individuals that the Grassroots Festival will take
place in July.
Ms. Robertson stated she believes that parents should have the ability to check on children's
location, but does not agree with long conversation of the cell phones within the library.
Report from Municipal Officials
Ms. Coles, Common Council Member, reported to the Legislature on City of Ithaca matters. She
indicated that the issue of eminent domain has many processes prior to actual legal action regarding the
Scenic Way. Mr. Proto indicated that the individuals desired the opportunity to present issues to the
appropriate body. Ms. Coles said some have contacted her and indicated her willingness to speak to other
individuals directly. She then reported a revised resolution regarding the City Density Policy was
approved at committee and will be presented to Common Council on June 7th. She believes that
amendments will benefit the community and noted it contains language that will review the community
benefit of projects on a regular basis. Ms. Coles has volunteered to Chair a Design Review Subcommittee
that will review what types of buildings are in a density area.
Ms. Coles spoke about the issue of pollution on West Hill, noting how she is amazed at how slow
matters are taking, particularly test results. She reported Assemblywoman Lifton has assisted in passing
174
June 6, 2006
legislation to halve the length of time for presentation of test results. Ms. Coles believes everyone should
keep the matter forefront in the media to draw attention to this problem.
Other items reported by Ms. Coles included employment diversity training within all City
Departments, development of a draft Request for Proposals for the Southwest Development to answer the
need of 300 new housing units per year, and a pending decision on the City's need for a new water
treatment plant.
Mr. Booth said he hopes the density policy will eventually apply to other municipalities
throughout the County; he believes it should apply to specifically designated areas in the city and the
various villages. In addition, he hopes the process is not so cumbersome as to prevent consideration by
potential developers. Mr. Booth said issues respecting hazardous waste pollution on South Hill are more
common than realized. He believes the most serious difficulty in this State respecting hazardous waste is
the limited capacity of the Department of Environmental Conservation to deal with the problem.
Chair's Report
Mr. Joseph reported that the County cannot accept Schuyler County's challenge for a cardboard
boat race, however, he would like to offer a challenge to the City of Ithaca for a dragon boat race on J uly
17. Ms. Coles accepted on behalf of the City.
Presentation of the 20 -Year Capital Program
Mr. Marx, Commissioner of Planning and Pubic Works, provided the Legislature with a handout
and a PowerPoint presentation on the 20 -Year Capital Program. He explained the purpose of the capital
plan is in recognition of the need for an approach to look at capital needs and investments. The
presentation included information that outlined the County capital assets, debt and debt service, major
capital needs, facility/infrastructure maintenance needs, enterprise operations, other potential needs,
measuring fiscal impact, parameters for the plan, the 20 -year plan outcomes, and issues for future
consideration. He concluded by indicating that he believes the County can meet the capital needs of
Tompkins County government and minimize the impact on taxpayers if the County carefully plans and
schedules projects that stay within the plan's parameters. He indicated it does not mean the plan cannot
be modified in the future, however, whatever modifications are made should follow this framework and
recognize the impacts of changes.
Following the presentation several items were discussed. In response to a question by Mr.
Joseph, it was noted that the $400,000 in additional funds for highway is not an annual increase but is a
one-time target increase in 2011.
Mr. Proto noted that decisions made by local colleges may affect the County's budget plans in the
future. He also asked how changes in assessment may effect the plan. Mr. Marx indicated that the plan
uses a two percent increase in the tax base as a realistic assessment increase and not a market value actual
increase.
Mr. Booth noted several items regarding the plan. The first was a suggestion that one of the
criteria of the plan could be a consideration of the relationship between annual capital investment and
annual depreciation in capital assets; the second was to add to the list of items for future consideration the
assessment of the adequacy or inadequacy of the County's capital assets in relation to the overall
economic/social well-being of County residents; and third was to stress that while the plan can be
modified it is important for the County to have the framework established by the plan. He noted. the
Budget and Capital Committee had discussed whether approval of the plan indicated approval of specific
projects mentioned in the plan. He stated he did not believe the plan's approval would constitute an
175
June 6, 2006
approval of specific projects. He noted that this interpretation is supported by the following statement of
the Plan's goals:
"The goal of the Capital Plan is to guide the Legislature in making
decisions regarding the community infrastructure needed to support the
operations and responsibilities of Tompkins County government with a
consistent and manageable level of public investment. The plan provides
information from which the Legislature can determine the appropriate
level of capital investment and make those investments in a manner that
best utilizes, and conserves prior investments of, taxpayer dollars."
Ms. Robertson asked if any of the land assets were unused property and was informed the term
encompasses the land beneath the County facilities and infrastructure, and did not refer to vacant land.
She also inquired about the highway's approved capital plan, noting it had not been seen by members.
Mr. Marx replied this was the first year of the highway capital plan and the department is devoted to
meeting the most serious problems. He anticipates by the end of this construction season a more
definitive plan will have been developed. Ms. Robertson stated that she would be willing to accept and
not adopt the plan. Mr. Marx indicated that he strongly recommends adoption as it would provide a
direction for the day-to-day work that is being completed and stress the importance of future work.
Mr. Joseph said he believes the plan should be adopted, and the Legislature should be aware it is
their plan. He said modifications can be made in the future but the objective of adopting is that it clearly
says it is what the Legislature wants to do.
Ms. Kiefer spoke of the various fiscal -impact parameters chosen by the Budget Committee, and
asked which is the limiting one in the scenario presented. The 1-3 percent tax levy increase appears to be,
but she noted that 2008 showed a 3.2 percent figure. She indicated a desire to see versions where some of
those constraints were varied. Mr. Marx indicated that he could discuss this with individuals but that
doing so would take a longer period of time. Ms. Kiefer also requested one or two additional priority
scenarios for the Legislature to consider, noting that the Facilities and Infrastructure Committee reviewed
building priorities, while the Budget and Capital Committee reviewed the funding aspect. She feels a
chart showing various scenarios would assist the other members of the Legislature to better determine the
plan. Ms. Kiefer also noted that one item listed for future consideration is the combined tax impact of
whether other municipalities and school districts and asked whether other taxing entities such as schools
would be addressed if a Council of Government is formed. Mr. Joseph said the group meeting has not
included schools as no interest has been expressed as well as the fact district lines do not fit with
municipal boundaries. He did indicate, however, the schools are included in the draft bylaws of the
Council of Government, for future collaboration.
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne noted that due to the increasing board -out costs the Public Safety
Building may become a high priority.
Ms. Robertson thanked Mr. Marx for his work and asked why the comparison of other counties
and statewide averages for capital projects used 2003 data. Mr. Marx said those were the most recent data
from the State Comptroller. She also suggested that various ways be reviewed to even out percentages.
Mr. Marx stated he believes that can be done by Mr. Squires' efforts in financing projects.
Report from the County Administrator
Mr. Whicher thanked Mr. Marx for his work on the plan over the past one to one and one-half
years. In addition, he expressed his appreciation to Kim Cutright, an intern in his office, for her
assistance on the Diversity Plan; as well as the teams who assisted in the searches for Deputy County
Administrator and Public Information Officer. Mr. Whicher introduced the new Public Information
176
June 6, 2006
Officer, Marcia Lynch, and the new Deputy County Administrator, Paula Younger. Mr. Whicher
requested an executive session to discuss personnel matters later in the meeting.
Report from the County Attorney
Mr. Wood, County Attorney, had no report. Ms. Kiefer inquired about the status of the Annual
Financial Disclosure forms and was informed one form was overdue.
Report from the Finance Director
Mr. Squires, Finance Director, reported that the foreclosure auction was held and a total of seven
properties were sold. Four of the seven properties were sold to adjacent landowners. He reported that
although all properties were sold and will now be back on the tax rolls, due to the amount of overdue
taxes, particularly on one property whose sale produced a $38,000 loss, the auction resulted in a $7,800
Toss. Mr. Squires then reported the County has instituted a pilot public transportation program that will
allow employees to utilize the Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit bus services through the use of a bus
pass. He believes this will be budget -neutral but will increase ridership and provide environmental
benefits.
Mr. Squires spoke of the option provided from the State to place a cap on county tax for fuel
sales. He has done research regarding the topic and found that to do so would be costly to the county and
municipalities who receive a portion of the tax as it could lose approximately $2 million per year in
revenue from gasoline sales (based on $2/gallon). The County share of the loss would be approximately
$575,000 per year. In addition, he indicated the cap would also include residential energy products and
would increase the amount of lost revenue. He indicated six counties have taken action on the offer,
however, there are many others who will not pursue the cap proposal.
Mr. Proto thanked those involved in providing bus passes to County employees. He inquired
whether the numbers included within the Capital Program presentation reflected the State audit of County
assets. He was informed by Mr. Squires that it did include these figures as well as depreciation. Mr.
Proto asked for Mr. Squires' opinion of the State's audit of the Industrial Development Agency (IDA).
Mr. Squires indicated it is a snapshot of a limited area looking only at job creation among IDAs. He said
the incentives are much broader than just job creation. In some ways he feels it may be unfair as some
businesses may not have been funded through IDA for only job creation. Mr. Squires said the IDA is
reviewing the audit closely.
Ms. Kiefer inquired how long the pilot bus pass program will be and who will review the results
upon completion. Mr. Squires stated it ends September 30th and anyone who would like to review the
material may.
Ms. Mackesey said she would like to continue to determine how incentives for buses and
carpooling could provide employees and the environment with a positive benefit.
Mr. Whicher explained the County has previously provided bus passes or reduced rates to
individuals in the downtown complex due to limited parking. This pilot now extends the offer to all
employees. He believes it will be an effective program. Mr. Joseph urged legislators to get a pass; it
costs the County nothing unless you use it.
Mr. Booth stated he is in strongly favor of individuals riding buses. He inquired whether there
could be implications of requiring the County to continue the program after the pilot period is over. Mr.
Squires said discussion had occurred with bargaining units who understand this is strictly a pilot program
and may not continue.
177
June 6, 2006
Ms. Herrera expressed congratulations to those involved in this pilot program, noting it is a good
example of how staff can resolve an issue such as this.

Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) and Appointment(s) from the Planning, Development, and
Environmental Quality Committee
Ms. Robertson, Chair, reported the Committee met on May 18th. The Committee was provided
with a report of the Purchase of Development Rights program. The County will work with municipalities
to train staff and develop easements for the program. Ms. Hackett, Planner, reported on the aquifer study,
noting Danby joined in the study in 2005. In addition, as part of the study a new aquifer has been
discovered in the Village of Dryden. Ms. Robertson reported the Committee has been informed by Mr.
Marx that it does not appear that the STOP -DWI Program is best located in the Planning Department.
She also reported the Town of Lansing has signed a contract for technical assistance to work on their
zoning ordinance to meet denser development goals and implementation of their Comprehensive Plan. In
addition, the Planning Department has participated in meetings with consultants developing the Cornell
University Master Plan. Public meetings hosted by Planning Department staff will occur on May 22 and

to the criteria; she stressed attendance at this particular meeting.
RESOLUTION NO. 88 - APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO CONTRACT FOR
BEAUTIFICATION, SIGNAGE, AND PUBLIC ART PROGRAM
ENHANCEMENT
MOVED by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Ms. Herrera.
Mr. Proto referred to the resolution entitled Approval of Amendment to Contract for
Beautification, Signage, and Public Art Program Enhancement, stating it reminded him of several items.
He recalled an episode of tree encroachment within a right-of-way on Turkey Hill Road where the County
was concerned about a row of trees that presented a safety issue. The property owners were not agreeable
to the County removing them. He felt that perhaps the County Highway Manager and Town Supervisors
should be provided an opportunity to review the planting plans to be certain it would not create a
hazardous situation. In addition he spoke of an evaluation report that was to be completed by the
Chamber of Commerce regarding the Strategic Tourism Planning Board's programs, in particular. the
importance of knowing how much of these funds are spent for work on the Commons area and whether
180
June 6, 2006
the City of Ithaca Public Works Department would be taking over the responsibilities at a certain point.
He recalled assurance that the report would be shared in 2006 and expressed his interest in seeing it as
well as having it come forward to the full Legislature this year.
Ms. Herrera stated she will address Mr. Proto's concerns about the report at the STPB meeting on
June 7th. She noted the resolution that was referred to dealt with beautification projects in towns, not the
City. In addition, she said the grants require in-kind donations from recipients. She said it enables
tourists and residents to have beauty throughout the County, particularly gateways to the County.
Ms. Robertson reported that the STPB Program Review will take place at the September meeting.
She also noted the resolution before the Legislature does not include any funding for the City. With
regard to highway departments, she noted Chrys Gardner went outside the County and drove back into
each town, taking photographs of how each gateway appears. She then provided a computerized
presentation that included these views to each town board. Ms. Robertson indicated the developed their
plans which Ms. Gardner. Ms. Robertson said she could have Ms. Gardner could contact the highway
supervisors if desired.
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne expressed her belief that the City should remain a participant of the
program as it produces many of the funds used for the Beautification Program. She spoke of the large
amount of African-American history and asked the matter of historic signage be looked into, noting the
AME Zion Church is in the Historic Register as well as many other buildings. Ms. Herrera appreciated
the thought of the possibility of an historic walk as an attraction.
Mr. Booth said he believes that adopting any program such as this does not limit any highway
supervisor's authority to determine an area is unsafe and to take what is determined to be appropriate
action. Mr. Wood said he believed that work done within a right-of-way with these funds would not
legally restrict a highway superintendent's authority.
Ms. Kiefer expressed appreciation for the amount of detail provided. She is troubled with
language contained within the introduction material that indicated the downtown beautification in front of
private property is being done as it is assumed private business would not participate in planting in public
space. Ms. Kiefer said there are municipalities such as the Town of Groton that have private businesses
participating and therefore she would like to see it a requirement for business participation rather than
expect the County to do so. She also expressed concern regarding two projects: (1) Warren Road/Route
13; and (2) Lansing Central School. She believes that intersection is not appropriate as it may create a
sight hazard, and the does not believe it should be done at a school entrance as that is normally done by
schools, parent -teacher organizations, etc.
It was MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Mr. Proto, to separate the Warren Road/Route 13 and
Lansing Central School projects from the original resolution. Ms. Herrera said she travels the Warren
Road/Route 13 intersection and believes it will enhance the area; she will also support the proposal at
Lansing Central School as there is a lot of traffic in the area. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes — 1
(Legislator Kiefer), Noes — 13, Excused — 1 (Legislator Sigler). MOTION FAILED.
A voice vote on the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes — 14, Noes 0, Excused — 1 (Legislator
Sigler). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the 2006 budget authorized spending $90,000 from the Room Tax Fund for the
County Beautification, Signage, and Public Art Plan to further the County's tourism program, and
WHEREAS, the scope of services for the Beautification, Signage, and Public Art Plan requires
expertise in the area of landscape planning and architecture that is possessed by staff at Cooperative
Extension and other sub -contractors of the Chamber of Commerce, and
181
June 6, 2006
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, and
WHEREAS, there is a desire to enhance the existing program by completing plantings in 2006 for
all of the towns for the most positive impact, and
WHEREAS, the Planning, Development, and Environmental Quality Committee voted in favor of
the concept at its February 2006 meeting, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Planning, Development, Environmental Quality
Committee, That the County Administrator or his designee is authorized to execute an amendment to the
Chamber of Commerce tourism promotion contract for $29,945 to carry out the tasks outlined in the
proposal dated February 2006, and that such funds shall be paid from the Room Tax Reserve account.
SEQR ACTION: TYPE 11-20
Appointment(s)
It was MOVED by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Mr. Herrera, to approve the following
appointment. Mr. Proto stated he requested the appointment be removed from the Consent Agenda in
order to discuss the appointment process. He noted previous discussions addressed canvassing through a
variety of means and wanted to know what method of advertising was done for the appointments. Ms.
Robertson indicated that upon receiving information that the positions were still unfilled and knowing
rural representation, particularly in business, was desired, she offered several suggestions to Mr. Marx,
one of which was accepted by the present nominee. Mr. Proto stated there are at least seven rural
representatives on the Legislature who could also have offered suggestions. It was noted all Legislators
receive a list of vacancies several times a year. Ms. Kiefer said she believed Mr. Proto had a valid point,
that finding representatives for the Planning Advisory Board is done primarily by current members, and
that the existence of vacancies could be more widely advertised, as is done form some other advisory
boards.
A voice vote on the motion resulted as follows: Ayes — 12, Noes — 2 (Legislators Hattery and
Proto), Excused — 1 (Legislator Sigler). APPOINTMENT CARRIED.

Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Government Operations Committee

Report from the Budget and Capital Committee
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, Chair, reminded members of the Library Budget Presentation that will take
place on June 19`11 in the Borg Warner Room of the Library. He reported that due to timing, there will be
two periods to request rollover funds; once at this month's committee meetings, and the second period
will be during the July committee meetings and to the Legislature in August. He said following the
budget retreat, discussions have been held to determine how to implement it. County Administration has
been requested to come back to the Committee with a variety of tools of how to achieve the goal, setting
the fiscal target at 0, slightly above 0, etc. He said there will be discussions of what targets to set for
departments. Ms. Robertson asked why the 2.8 percent tax levy increase wouldn't be used. Mr.
184
June 6, 2006
Koplinka-Loehr explained there is an approximate $l million gap within the budget; if targets are set
below 2.8 percent it would allow more choices at budget time.
Report from the Strategic Planning Committee
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, Chair, said the Committee has not met. At this time its work has been
handed off to the Management Team to implement.
Report from the Public Safety Committee
Mr. Booth, Vice Chair, reported the Committee met June I. He noted four topics. First, the
annual report for the Probation Department was presented by Ms. Leinthall, which has a great deal of
information to review. Second, an update on Avian Flu was provided by Ms. Cole, Public Health
Director, and Mr. Shurtleff, Emergency Response Director; emergency responders and Department Heads
will move forward with their various planning efforts. He noted that other decisions regarding the
County's potential response to an avian flu emergency that will need to be made include how to utilize
volunteers in the County work force in various emergency functions, what offices to keep open, and what
training is necessary to allow County employees to participate in emergency functions. Third, Mr. Booth
reported that construction of the communication towers will begin later this month. Fourth, he mentioned
there will eventually be a vote by the Legislature to authorize the Administration to sign a contract to
oversee the criminal justice data -sharing project. He noted it is important that the group involved be
responsible for policy and administration of this information system.
Mr. Proto spoke of the bicycling event that recently took place in the Town of Caroline and part
of Tioga County. He indicated emergency service providers, including the Sheriff's Department, were
not informed. Mr. Proto said it is his understanding that eleven incidents requiring ambulance occurred
during this event. He is concerned and would like to establish a form of communication between event
planners and emergency responders. Mr. Booth said no approval is normally required unless the
participants exceed a particular number, then only Health Department approval is required. Mr. Hattery
noted some other municipalities have permit policies in place. Mr. Stevenson stated the Town of Enfield
has a Mass Gathering ordinance that can be viewed on their website. Ms. Mackesey expressed her
concern that there is a lot of work being done by various sectors. She feels there are limited resources and
the topic should be discussed in the appropriate committee.
Mr. Proto then spoke of a recent Department of Environmental Conservation long-range plan for
the 18,000 -acre State Forest, 11,000 of which are in his district. He stated that areas of Shindagin Hollow
and Potato Hill were designated as mountain biking areas. On weekends these are highly used and due to
the terrain, small emergency responder communities find it difficult to easily reach the sites.
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne spoke of information received regarding the Red Cross Emergency
Response Presentation that will simulate an emergency drill, and she noted the report on Gang Activities
in New York is available.
Report from the Workforce Diversity and Inclusion Committee
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne, Chair, reported the Committee met May 24th and brought back the
resolution on the Diversity Statement to be included in the policy manual. Upon acceptance by the
Committee, the revised resolution and information pertaining to it will come before the Legislature.
Report from the Health and Human Services Committee
Mr. Proto, Chair, reported the Committee meets on June 7`h, with a full agenda. He called
attention to the Red Cross Emergency Response Presentation, on June 16th from 5:00 p.m. to June 17th at
185
June 6, 2006
noon, at the Holy Cross Church on George Road, noting it was to simulate a small-scale windstorm in the
Town of Dryden. He thought it would be a good exercise to view the volunteers in action.
Report from the Facilities and Infrastructure Committee
Mr. Randall, Chair, reported the Committee met May 23`d. At that time information was provided
by C & S Engineers regarding an extension of the airport runway in order to meet Federal regulations
requiring 1,000 feet to allow for overrun and landing. He reported Mr. Sczesny, Highway Manager, gave
cost comparisons of last year and current year for fuel and materials. Mr. Randall reminded members that
the Highway Tour will take Place on June 13th from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. The Committee will meet
again on June 27'1'.

Privilege of the Floor by the Public
Don Lifton, Village of Lansing, spoke in support of the resolution entitled Support of New York
State Assembly Bills A6575, A6576, A10583, and Senate Bills S3459 and 57090 — Which Address the
Growing Health Insurance Crisis in New York State and urged the County Legislature to approve it. He
commented briefly on two American values: (1) the notion of security; and (2) the notion of
responsibility and made the following statement: The protection of health, the insuring of the sick and
vulnerable is crucial to the stability and security of our nation. He said "We collectively try to take
responsibility for the issues and concerns of our society and we look to our Government to be the lead in
that collective responsibility that we all share".
Frances Helmstadter, Ithaca, spoke on behalf of the single -payer system. She believes that many
people at this meeting have felt the effects of the current health care delivery system that is failing people.
She spoke of a friend who is an American citizen who has no health insurance and is critically ill. In an
attempt to schedule a 30 -minute doctor's visit, the cost was $690. Ms. Helmstadter said the current health
care system is a disgrace and the obstacles are that of -terrorism". She urged the Legislature to consider
the resolution and other necessary actions towards a single -payer plan.
Bernie Fetterly, representative of the Tompkins County Health Care Task Force and City of
Ithaca resident, spoke against Fair Share Health Care. Fair Share Health Care will do nothing to deal with
the rising and high costs of health care. It will not significantly reduce the number of uninsured or
underinsured. It will not significantly reduce the amount of people going bankrupt because of health care
costs and it will do very little for the fifty people who die every day because they lack health care
coverage. Fair Share will not lead to universal health care, it will be an added burden to businesses. Mr.
Fetterly stated that single -payer health care is the only real solution and urged the Legislature not to pass
the proposed resolution entitled Support of New York State Assembly Bills A6575, A6576, A10583, and
Senate Bills S3459 and 57090 Which Address the Growing Health Insurance Crisis in New York State.
He does not believe there could ever be a livable wage until there is an affordable health care plan.
Theresa Alt, Ithaca, agreed with the comment made by Mr. Fetterly that a single -payer system is
the solution and feels the proposed resolution entitled Support of New York State Assembly Bills A6575,
A6576, 10583, and Senate Bills S3459 and 57090 — Which Address the Growing Health Insurance Crisis
in New York State states that. She believes New York State is big enough to have its own single -payer
system and the best solution would be if the State Legislature passed A6576, the single -payer bill.
Mr. Sigler arrived at this time.

June 20, 2006
Ben Furnas, Ithaca, spoke about the resolution entitled Support of New York State Assembly
Bills A6575, A6576, 10583, and Senate Bills S3459 and S7090 — Which Address the Growing Health
Insurance Crisis in New York State he shared the following information:
"Source: US Census Current Population Survey, 2003. Analyzed by Center for a Changing
Workforce.
"There are 66,360 people currently working without health insurance in the Finger Lakes Region
and Central New York, the 26,851 people who would be newly covered under the Fair Share legislation
(40% of current uninsured workers) and the 10,667 people who would be able to afford to come off
Medicaid, for a region wide estimated taxpayer savings of $62 million.
• 37 firms employ over 100 people in Tompkins County, 29 of which are non-agricultural
and non -manufacturing and would be covered under the Fair Share plan. (NYS Bureau
of Labor)
• Many more firms employ fewer than 100 people in Tompkins County, but more than 100
people statewide. These firms include mostly retail chains and chain restaurants (the
"Big -Box" developments), and would also be covered by the Fair Share legislation.
• Retail Trade employs 4,874 people in Tompkins County. These people make an average
annual wage of $19,926. Accommodation and Food Services employs 3,408 people in
Tompkins County, at an average annual wage of $12,401. It is safe to assume that the
lion share of these employees work for the large state-wide chains and would be covered
by the Fair Share legislation. (NYS Bureau of Labor)"
Linda Smith, Assembly Aide for Assemblywoman Lifton, stated that Assemblywoman Lifton
supports the proposed resolution entitled Support of New York State Assembly Bills A6575, A6576,
10583, and Senate Bills S3459 and S7090 — Which Address the Growing Health Insurance Crisis in New
York State. She also stated it is very important for counties to weigh in on these issues. The Assembly
appreciates the issues and concerns of the business community and in response there have been
amendments made to the bill; however exact figures have not yet been determined. They are looking at
the threshold, number of employees, and the assessment figure.
Rebecca Elgie, City of Ithaca, appreciates the Legislature considering the issue of health care and
spoke primarily about the proposed State Bill 6576. We need to provide all New Yorkers with a health
plan with cost controls and quality insurance. A single -payer system would truly level the playing field
since it will require all employers to contribute to a payroll tax; however, contributions would be much
less than they are currently paying and will cover all residents with necessary and preventive care.
Mike Lane, Dryden, spoke briefly in support of the resolution Support of New York State
Assembly Bills A6575, A6576, 10583, and Senate Bills S3459 and S7090 — Which Address the Growing
Health Insurance Crisis in New York State. He also spoke about sales tax. The County has an
opportunity to look at two kinds of sales tax reductions: (1) elimination of sales tax on clothing and shoes
for items of $110 or less; (2) elimination of sales tax up to the cap on gasoline and other energy products.
He fully supports eliminating the sales tax on clothing and shoes; however, he does not support
eliminating the sales tax on gasoline and other energy products. The elimination of sales tax on clothing
and shoes keeps businesses competitive and assists those who most need it when buying the basics such
as socks, shoes, etc. He does not support the elimination of sales tax on energy because gasoline prices
are volatile and this would transfer the money from local government to the pockets of oil companies.

Mr. Stevenson presented Mathew Watros Jr. of Newfield for the Distinguished Youth Award.
Mathew is a National Honor Society member and is also a valuable member of the Newfield Fire

Ms. McBean-Clairborne arrived at this time.

Privilege of the Floor by Legislators
Ms. Robertson, District No. 13 Legislator, spoke briefly about the health insurance issue and her
support of the proposed resolution on the agenda entitled Support of New York State Assembly I3ills
A6575, A6576, A10583, and Senate Bills S3459 and S7090 — Which Address the Growing Health
Insurance Crisis in New York State. She invited speakers who spoke under privilege of the floor to
submit their statement for the record to the Clerk of the Legislature.
Ms. Mackesey, District No. 1 Legislator, thanked everyone who spoke this evening concerning
the health care issue and said it is important for the Legislature to hear from the public.
Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Legislator, reminded Legislators that the public hearing on the New
York State Electric and Gas (NYSEG) electric plan is coming up and urged those interested to speak in
opposition to the proposal and support the Public Service Commission's proposal to change the
methodology using. More information is available on the Internet or call him.
Mr. Shinagawa, District No. 4 Legislator, thanked everyone who came to the press conference
prior to the meeting in support of the resolution entitled Support of New York State Assembly Bills
A6575, A6576, A10583, and Senate Bills S3459 and S7090 — Which Address the Growing Health
Insurance Crisis in New York State. He also thanked all those who assisted with writing the resolution.
Mr. Booth, District No. 3 Legislator, spoke about a bill being proposed by the State Legislature
that authorizes counties to elect to regulate trapping. The Assembly has passed the bill; however, he
hopes this bill will not pass the Senate.
Individual Member -Filed Resolution
RESOLUTION NO. 95 — SUPPORT OF NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY BILLS A6575, A6576,
A10583, AND SENATE BILLS S3459 AND S7090 — WHICH ADDRESS
THE GROWING HEALTH INSURANCE CRISIS IN NEW YORK
STATE
MOVED by Mr. Shinagawa, seconded by Ms. Robertson. Ms. Kiefer said she is a supporter of
the single -payer plan. She asked how the Fair Share bill would impact the community college. Mr. Ross,
Dean of College Services, said, as he understands the bill, it applies to employers with over 100
employees which would include the college; however it would depend on who is counted. At this time he
highlighted the information he used when making the calculations. Excluded from coverage is executive
staff, administrative staff, and professional staff who also make over $600 per week. In the information
he prepared, all faculty and administrative staff were excluded. The classified staff including those
making over $600 per week, there are 94 people who fit in that category. There are also 230 individuals
who work at the college as adjunct faculty and do not meet the threshold of making $600 per week. The
cost for adjunct faculty not covered by health insurance, the cost would be $318,000 assuming two hours
of work in addition to the classroom time. He spoke of other ways to look at these calculations.
Mr. Shinagawa discussed this with Mr. Ross and understands the difficulties with the various
calculations. However, he believes there would be significant Medicaid cost savings. Ms. Smith of
Assemblywoman Lifton's office, said there would be a stabilizing affect as well and said if the Assembly
bill passes it would be good for the economy of New York State and produce jobs.
Ms. Herrera said she supports the resolution as proposed.
Mr. Sigler appreciated the effort and thanked everyone who worked on this resolution. He spoke
about the competing State plans: Maryland's and Massachusetts's. Maryland is the only state that
190
June 20, 2006
adopted a plan like the Fair share Plan to date. After reviewing the Massachusetts's plan, he believes that
the Senate may want to consider it in the future as it addresses many of the problems raised by small
businesses and constituents. This Fair Share bill is a "band-aid" approach and feels the time has come
that government officials are now willing to look at this issue seriously and make some changes.
Mr. Proto said although this was discussed by the Health and Human Services Committee there
was not a full complement of members present at the time. He stated that over the years, health insurance
costs have risen dramatically and became a major cost of doing business; however, he does not feel the
proposed resolution addresses the real problem and is afraid it may end up hurting the people it is
intended to help. Mr. Proto said the $3/hour will not come from the profits made by business but will
instead be added to the goods being sold.
Ms. Robertson said Assemblywoman Lifton spoke of A6575 when she was first elected to office.
She stated this is not a new issue and encouraged Legislators to vote in support of this resolution as
people are dying because they do not have health insurance coverage.
Mr. Shinagawa said the greatest cost to people is in the form of the property tax and stated 2,000
people have gone on Medicaid in Tompkins County since 2001. He feels this will help small businesses
and noted Greenstar is in support of this. Mr. Shinagawa said this levels the playing field, as large
businesses will have to pay for what small businesses are already paying for.
Mr. Randall said he supports the proposed resolution. He said he has had personal issues arise in
his own life as a result of a lack in health care and said although this Legislation is not perfect something
needs to be done now.
A roll call vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 12, Noes - 2 (Legislators Proto and Sigler), Excused -
1 (Legislator Hattery). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, access to health care continues to be a major concern for New Yorkers, and
WHEREAS, today nearly 3 million state residents have no health insurance, and often from
necessity incur high individual debt and/or face financial ruin, and
WHEREAS, New York State is the 5`h wealthiest state, but has the 2nd highest rate of uninsured
people, and
WHEREAS, New York State in recent years had led the nation in expanding public programs
such as Medicaid and designing programs such as Family Health Plus and Child Health plus, spending
$1.2 billion in taxpayer dollars through Medicaid and Family Health Plus to cover the insurance of those
who are already employed, but do not receive coverage through their employers, nevertheless there has
been little net reduction in the number of uninsured, largely because employers have been decreasing
coverage, and
WHEREAS, many employers, including many small businesses, are responsible and do provide
health care to their employees but face competitive disadvantages from employers who shift the
responsibility of rising health care costs onto their employees and taxpayers, and
WHEREAS, there is no reason for health care to be tied to employment; this linkage is an artifact
of post -World War II economics when American employers chose to offer health benefits in place of
salary increases, and
WHEREAS, New York State can do better in fulfilling its constitutional promise of caring for all
residents, and
WHEREAS, there are three major health-care bills before the New York State Legislature:
A. 6576 (S. 3459) —the New York Health Plan, which would establish a single -
payer health-care program in New York State that would cover all residents.
This bill first passed the Assembly in 1992. It would cover all necessary
medical care including prescription drugs; hospital, surgical, outpatient
191
June 20, 2006
services; primary and preventive care; emergency services; dental and
mental health; physical therapy; vision care; and long-term care, and
A. 6575 (no Senate companion yet) —that would establish a Legislative
Commission on health-care reform with two co-chairs, one heading a study
of Expanding Traditional Health Care and one studying Publicly Financed
Health Care, and
A. 10583 (S. 7090) —Fair -Share Health Care, which would require all
employers of more than 100 employees -- excluding manufacturing and
farm jobs, and those employed in managerial, administrative, and
professional positions -- to pay an assessment to New York State (based on
number of hours worked annually; initially at $3/hour), with that
assessment reduced by what the employer already pays for health coverage
for employees and family members. This bill has the potential in New
York to provide 400,000 currently uninsured workers with employer-
sponsored health insurance; shift approximately 200,000 workers currently
enrolled in Medicaid and Family Health Plus to employer-sponsored health
insurance; and save state and local governments approximately $465
million in reduced spending on uncompensated care for the uninsured, and
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Legislature believes that both controlling health care costs
and ensuring health care for all residents is of paramount importance, and
WHEREAS, this Legislature further believes that the best approach for New York State is to
move directly from the current multiple -payer approach, with its high costs of administration and
marketing, to a statewide single -payer system, which is the approach used in other industrialized
democracies and which results in residents having comparatively lower costs and greater satisfaction than
we do, and
WHEREAS, the next -best approach would be the Study Commission, where the two contrasting
approaches would get an up-to-date analysis and be open to easy comparison, and
WHEREAS, although the "Fair Share" helps provide New York with additional revenue to
expand health coverage, it does so by continuing to tie health care to employment and thus may help prop
up the current flawed system, but can be seen as a partial, short-term solution to the health insurance
crisis, and as a first step toward better, and still prospective, nationwide, single -payer health care system,
now therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the Tompkins County Legislature urges passage of A.6576 and S.3459, New
York Health, the approach that ensures health-care coverage for all New Yorkers,
RESOLVED, further, That the Tompkins County Legislature, recognizing that in any event the
urgency of the current health care situation requires that measures be taken to address the growing crisis,
also supports the Study Commission and the "Fair Share Health Care" plan.
SEQR ACTION: TYPE II -20
Report from the Finance Director
Mr. Squires introduced Tompkins County's new Bond Counsel, Phil Marquadt. He presented
the annual report for the Industrial Development Agency and stated it is available in the Clerk of the
Legislature's Office for public review.
Mr. Squires reported on sales tax receipts for 2006 and stated for five months sales tax receipts
have been positive and at the present time revenue is five percent ahead of budget.
He also reported he met with Andy Sciarabba with regard to the proposed Lansing sewer project
and stated they may be coming forward with a capital project request for examination by the Legislature.
192
June 20, 2006
During discussion, it was clarified that Mr. Squires informed representatives of the project on
process and procedures and in no way promised anything with regard to the project. Prior to anything
being proposed this issue will be brought back to the Planning, Development and Environmental Quality
Committee for a full discussion.
Ms. Robertson stated the Planning Department has a contract with the Town of Lansing to revise
the Town's zoning to create nodal development. The sewer project would be more affordable with more
users. She suggested Mr. Sciarabba speak with Mr. Squires. Mr. Sigler stated that the expertise of both
Mr. Marx and Mr. Squires is very helpful to the representatives of this project. He hopes the project can
be supported with County resources, and he noted that this is a major project that will help the entire
County.
Ms. Herrera said it is clear to her that the 2007 budget is already under stress and although she
won't debate this now, she has several reservations about this project.
Mr. Wood commented that the proposal raises significant legal issues.
Mr. Squires concluded his report by asking Legislators to submit time logs if they have not
already done so.
Report from the Budget and Capital Committee
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, Chair, said the Committee met June 12 and most of the actions are reflected

Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Budget and Capital Committee
RESOLUTION NO. 97 - ADOPTION OF 2006-2007 OPERATING BUDGET - TOMPKINS
CORTLAND COMMUNITY COLLEGE
MOVED by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, seconded by Mrs. McBean-Clairborne. Ms. Herrera said she
would not be supporting the resolution as she feels the Foundation should be paying a prevailing wage to
individuals working on these construction projects.
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr reminded members that the bottom line Tompkins County taxpayers will be
contributing to the 2006-2007 Community College budget is a five percent increase. At the request of the
County Legislature, there was agreement at the College's budget presentation that a budget would be
submitted with a five percent increase rather than a six percent increase as initially proposed. In response
to a question raised by Ms. Kiefer, Mr. Ross, Dean of College Services, explained the adjustments to
reduce the budget were made in contractual areas such as supplies, printing, new initiatives, etc. The total
amount of adjustments made was $36,000. Ms. Kiefer expressed concern that the County continues to
fall behind in the share it is paying to the College and hopes this is taken into consideration next year.
She asked what it would take to stabilize the slide, and Mr. Ross said an 8% increase in sponsor cash.
Ms. Mackesey said she will support the resolution; however, she believes public institutions have
the ability to pay their employees a decent wage. She is unhappy the prevailing wage is not being used in
the construction at the College, but feels there are too many people who attend TC3 whose lives are made
better by it. She hopes the TC3 Foundation will change its policies about hiring for construction work in
the future.
A voice vote resulted as follows on the resolution: Ayes — 13, Noes — 1 (Legislator Herrera),
Excused — 1 (Legislator Hattery). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, a proposed operating budget for Tompkins Cortland Community College for the
fiscal year September 1, 2006 through August 31, 2007, has been presented to the Legislature of the
County of Tompkins pursuant to County Law and Section 6306 of the Education Law, and
WHEREAS, the Legislature has conducted a public hearing on said proposed budget on the 20`''
of June 2006, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Capital Committee, That said proposed
2006-2007 operating budget in the amount of $27,749,250 of which the sponsoring community
contribution is in the amount of $3,746,925 be and the same hereby is approved,
RESOLVED, further, That the Legislature of Tompkins County includes in the 2007 Tompkins
County Budget an amount to be determined pursuant to the approved plan for said College in effect as of
September 1, 2006, and that the amount when determined be raised by taxation in the County of

RESOLUTION NO. 98 - ENDORSING STATE LEGISLATION 56542-A AND A9740 -A AN ACT
TO AMEND THE TAX LAW, IN RELATION TO IMPOSING AN
ADDITIONAL REAL ESTATE TRANSFER TAX WITHIN THE
COUNTY OF TOMPKINS
MOVED by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, seconded by Mr. Booth. Mr. Koplinka-Loehr explained the
action taken last year by the Legislature requested the State to introduce an amendment to legislation that
would allow Tompkins County to add $2.00 to the existing $4.00 transfer tax fee. The anticipated annual
revenue was approximately $600,000. During the budget process last fall, the Legislature approved
$335,000 with the anticipation that the tax would begin being collected on July 1, 2006. The State has
agreed to introduce this legislation; however, this Legislature is required to pass a resolution endorsing
the proposed Assembly and Senate bills. Following approval by the State and Governor, the process
requires a local law be approved with a 60 -day effective date, which will result in October 1st as being the
earliest possible date for implementation. He said revenue projections will need to be adjusted for 2006.
A voice vote resulted as follows on the resolution: Ayes — 10; Noes — 4 (Legislators Herrera,
Proto, Randall, and Stevenson); Excused — 1 (Legislator Hattery). RESOLUTION CARRIED.
WHEREAS, New York State currently collects an ownership transfer tax on each conveyance of
real property in Tompkins County under Tax Law § 1402 amounting to four dollars for each one thousand
dollars or fractional part thereof, and
WHEREAS, Resolution No. 141 of 2005, requested legislation be amended authorizing
Tompkins County to impose and collect a local transfer tax amounting to up to two dollars for each one
thousand dollars or fractional part thereof (potentially resulting in a total transfer tax of six dollars per one
thousand dollars in Tompkins County), and
WHEREAS, this Legislature by Resolution No. 141 of 2005, requested the members of the New
York State Senate and Assembly who represent Tompkins County to sponsor and support legislation
amending this authority, and they have done so and have introduced S6542-A/A9740-A AN ACT to
amend the tax law, in relation to imposing an additional real estate transfer tax within the County of
Tompkins", now therefore be it
RESOLVED, That this Legislature endorses and requests State approval of legislation known as
S6542 -A and A9740 -A, and urges its elected representatives in the Senate and the Assembly to support
this legislation.
SEQR ACTION: TYPE II -20
RESOLUTION NO. 99 - ADOPTING TOMPKINS COUNTY CAPITAL PLAN
MOVED by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, seconded by Mr. Booth. Mr. Proto asked for (1) reassurance
that the list in Appendix A is not necessarily "locked in stone"; and (2) does this highlight that a new
Health Department building will potentially be built in 2010. Mr. Marx said the appendix is a listing of
all the anticipated capital expenses and facilities in the Public Works divisions that were identified by the
managers to provide a context of what the needs over the next 20 years could be. In answering, the
second question, the plan suggests a schedule for meeting the County's needs which would have a Health
Department construction in 2008, a Public Safety building in 2013, and Center of Government building in
2018. This plan does not commit the Legislature, and any actions would have to go through the normal
process for approval.
Ms. Mackesey commended staff for developing this plan and being able to look at long-term
planning. Ms. Robertson agreed and feels this is a rational plan.
Ms. Herrera said this process is moving too fast. She disagrees with adding money to the capital
budget when Legislators have not agreed on priorities.
195
June 20, 2006
Ms. Kiefer spoke about Table 6. Parameters for Evaluating Capital Program on page 13 and said
her preference would be to have the debt service as a percent of full taxable assessed value up to .20
percent. The total indebtedness as a percentage of constitutional debt limits could be 50 percent and not
stop at 25 percent. Ms. Kiefer also asked the County Administrator if it made sense for the County to
pursue a discussion about a joint jail facility with Cortland County as suggested by former Legislator
Mike Lane and said that could change things dramatically in this plan. Mr. Whicher commented that the
goal of this plan is to provide guidelines and give direction to assist with putting together a budget. He
said it would make sense for the County to discuss a joint jail facility with Cortland County.
Ms. Kiefer referenced the section of Issues for Future Study and commented that she continues to
oppose paying salaries through debt service for capital projects and hopes that does not happen.
Further discussion followed and a voice vote resulted as follows on the resolution: Ayes — 13,
Noes 1 (Legislator Herrera), Excused — 1 (Legislator Hattery). RESOLUTION CARRIED.
WHEREAS, Tompkins County is responsible for maintaining critical elements of community
infrastructure including the county highway system, the emergency communications network, and
facilities to support a wide range of governmental activities including public safety, social and human
services, public health, public works, and general government, and
WHEREAS, the County owns capital assets including land, buildings, equipment and
infrastructure valued at approximately $125 million, and
WHEREAS, in 2004 and 2005 the Space Needs and Location Committee of the Legislature
identified the need to construct new facilities to house the County Health Department and meet the needs
of departments located in the downtown complex, and
WHEREAS, the Public Safety Committee has considered the need for renovation and expansion
of the Public Safety Building, and
WHEREAS, Tompkins County has a current debt of approximately $44 million and annual debt
service of over $4 million, and
WHEREAS, commitments to capital projects can involve debt service obligations of up to 20
years, and
WHEREAS, maintaining current facilities and infrastructure and meeting the future needs of
county government and the Tompkins County community requires a plan for capital investment that is
consistent with meeting overall County government budgetary goals, and
WHEREAS, such a plan should allow the county to meet its capital facilities and infrastructure
needs with an acceptable fiscal impact, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Capital Committee, That the Tompkins
County Legislature adopts the Tompkins County 20 -Year Capital Plan to be used as a guide in making
decisions regarding the community infrastructure needed to support the operations and responsibilities of
Tompkins County government with a manageable level of public investment,
RESOLVED, further, That the plan shall be reviewed periodically, updated as necessary, and
may be amended at any time by majority vote of the Legislature.

OCCUPANCY TAX FUND (RESOLUTION LOST)
MOVED by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, seconded by Ms. Herrera. Mr. Koplinka-Loehr said although

well as more accurately reflects the portion of the building utilized by the Convention and Visitor's
Bureau. It was noted the expansion of the building went from 4,100 sq. ft. to 6,200 sq. ft., with the
Convention and Visitor's Bureau utilizing sixty percent.

Report from the Chair
Mr. Joseph reported that earlier in the day he signed a declaration of public emergency that would
enable the purchase of equipment and supplies without the bidding requirement. This will apply to
particular repairs resulting from the flooding that occurred within the County. He then reported that he
received correspondence from Air Service Board member, Larry Baum, stating that the minimum
guarantee previously made in the Air Service Development Agreement with Northwest Airlines has been
reached. This means that the individuals and businesses who guaranteed funding in the event of a loss of
revenue for the airlines will not be required to provide funds.
Mr. Sigler inquired who will be the purveyor for the equipment and material needed to do the
emergency repair work. Mr. Joseph said it is unknown at this time, however, the culvert will be
purchased by Friday.
Report from the County Administrator
Mr. Whicher reported he has worked with the SEMO and FEMA representatives and it was
determined that approximately $2.2 million in damage occurred, primarily in the Town of Caroline. This

has worked with a subcommittee of department heads and administration to determine how to best
operate in the event of a building closing. He will be forwarding a report prepared by LaBella on to the
207

commended for their assistance in the preparation of the report.

which he replied affirmatively, and it indicates that the legislation is proceeding.

Mr. Squires reported that next week he will be marketing $8.6 million in bond anticipation notes.
This issue has an interest rate of four percent, which is higher than two years ago when the interest rate

Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Government Operations Committee
Ms. Herrera, Chair, reported the Committee will meet next on July 19th at 3:00 p.m., at which
time it will continue to have discussions regarding appointments to advisory boards. She noted there is
varied opinion of whether a member should be required to reside within the County, and that perhaps

review being minutes of the Legislature.
RESOLUTION NO. 113 — INCREASE IN HOURS - PARALEGAL AIDE - OFFICE OF HUMAN

RESOLUTION NO. 114 — URGING PRESIDENT BUSH TO STOP WARRANTLESS
SURVEILLANCE OF AMERICANS AND TO FOLLOW THE
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE SURVEILLANCE ACT
MOVED by Ms. Herrera, seconded by Ms. Robertson. Mr. Sigler said he would like to have the
resolution withdrawn as he believes there is a great deal of case law indicating the actions of the President
are legal. In addition, he believes the matter should not be discussed at the County level, but rather
allowing the matter to be left to the Federal courts, as the Supreme Court Justices are more qualified.
It was MOVED by Mr. Sigler, seconded by Mr. Hattery, to table the resolution. A voice vote on
the motion resulted as follows: Ayes — 6 (Legislators Hattery, Proto, Randall, Sigler, Shinagawa, and
Stevenson); Noes — 7 (Legislators Dennis, Herrera, Joseph, Koplinka-Loehr, Mackesey, McBean-
Clairborne, and Robertson); Excused — 2 (Legislators Booth and Kiefer). MOTION LOST.
Mr. Sigler then provided written material to defend his position regarding the legality of
surveillance measures. Mr. Shinagawa wanted to make it known that it had been his intention to vote no
on the motion to table the resolution. Ms. Herrera noted the resolution passed by a three to two margin at
Committee and believed it was good to discuss the differences of opinion. Ms. Mackesey disagreed with
Mr. Sigler that the matter should be left to the Federal government and believes every American should
speak out against matters they believe to be wrong. Ms. Mackesey recalled the laws were developed due
to wrongful actions and she is appalled at what is presently occurring. She said as a citizen, we have an
obligation to express our opinion and displeasure when necessary and pass it along. Ms. Robertson
agreed with Ms. Mackesey's statements and spoke of a recent Congressional hearing where Attorney
General Alberto Gonzales was quoted as citing that many Presidents have used electronic surveillance,
including Washington, Lincoln, and Roosevelt. Ms. Robertson pointed out the case law cited in Mr.
Sigler's presentation was prior to the passage of FISA in 1989. She believes that the resolution includes
language that is appropriate and will support it.
It was MOVED by Mr. Stevenson, seconded by Mr. Shinagawa, to call the question. A voice
vote resulted as follows: Ayes — 9 (Legislators Dennis, Herrera, Koplinka-Loehr, Mackesey, McBean-
Clairborne, Randall, Robertson, Shinagawa, and Stevenson); Noes — 4 (Legislators Hattery, Joseph, Proto,
and Sigler); Excused — 2 (Legislators Booth and Kiefer). MOTION CARRIED.

RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the welfare and security of all residents of Tompkins County depends upon the
maintenance of a vigorous democracy under law, in which the branches of government work effectively
and cooperatively together, and
WHEREAS, the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution states: "The right of the
people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and
seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or
affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized,"
and
WHEREAS, the Foreign Surveillance Act of 1989 (FISA) regulates electronic surveillance within
the United States, with the goal of striking a proper constitutional balance between protection of civil
liberties and safeguarding national security, and
211
July 5, 2006
WHEREAS, FISA provides a legal mechanism for the United States government to engage in
surveillance of a foreign power or of an agent of a foreign power in instances when it is likely that the
surveillance will acquire the contents of a communication with a United States -based person, and
WHEREAS, FISA and specified provisions of the federal criminal code spell out the exclusive
means by which electronic surveillance may be conducted, and federal law makes criminal any electronic
surveillance not authorized by statute, and
WHEREAS, FISA provides specific exceptions that allow the President to authorize warrantless
electronic surveillance for foreign intelligence purposes in emergency situations, provided an application
for judicial approval from a FISA court is made within seventy-two hours and within fifteen calendar
days following a declaration of war by Congress, and
WHEREAS, President Bush has directed the National Security Agency (NSA) to conduct secret
and warrantless electronic surveillance of persons within the United States without any plausible legal
authority for such surveillance, and this appears to be in direct violation of FISA and the Fourth
Amendment to the United States Constitution, and
WHEREAS, those actions diminish the rule of law and do not enhance national security, now
therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Government Operations Committee, That the Tompkins
County Legislature, on behalf of all residents of Tompkins County supports the vigorous pursuit and
prosecution of persons and organizations that plan terrorist acts anywhere in the world,
RESOLVED, further, That the Tompkins County Legislature calls upon the President to abide by
the limitations that the Constitution imposes on the Executive branch under our system of checks and
balances and to respect the essential roles of the Legislative branch and the Judicial branch in ensuring
that our national security is protected in a manner consistent with constitutional guarantees,
RESOLVED, further, That the Tompkins County Legislature opposes President Bush's order to
the National Security Agency to intercept telephone and e-mail exchanges between the United States and
overseas without court authorization, as required under FISA, and to engage in warrantless wiretapping of
calls within the United States,
RESOLVED, further, That the Tompkins County Legislature requests the President to
immediately direct the NSA to observe FISA's requirements, and urges the President if he believes that
FISA is inadequate to safeguard national security, to seek appropriate amendments or new legislation
rather than acting without explicit statutory authorization,
RESOLVED, further, That the Tompkins County Legislature urges all County government
agencies and each County person and business entity that receives a request to cooperate in the electronic
surveillance of a person with the United States to first obtain assurance from the state or federal
government agency making the request that it is lawful under FISA or applicable provisions of the federal
criminal code,
RESOLVED, further, That the Tompkins County Legislature requests that the New York State
Attorney General assist, and if needed, intervene on behalf of, any Tompkins County resident who is
asked to cooperate in the electronic surveillance of a person within the United States when such person
was unable to receive an assurance that the request is lawful under FISA or applicable provisions of the
federal criminal code,
RESOLVED, further, That the Tompkins County Legislature urges Congress to conduct a

RESOLUTION NO. 115 - APPROVAL OF BECOMING A MEMBER OF THE TOMPKINS
COUNTY COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS (TCCOG) AND
APPOINTMENT TO THE TCCOG
MOVED by Ms. Herrera, seconded by Ms. Mackesey. Ms. Herrera said this resolution speaks to
the formation of a Council of Governments that would provide a way to collaborate and develop
efficiencies in local governments. Mr. Joseph said that the bylaws will be developed and brought forward
by those who sign on. At this time the Town of Ithaca has approved a resolution, and it was believed that
Ulysses, as well as the Town of Groton had, with other communities having placed it on agendas. Mr.
Joseph noted all have been desiring amendments of the bylaws so it was decided not to include them as
part of the resolution. It does not appear that any municipality is adverse to a Council of Governments.
The Council will be replacing the Intermunicipal Cooperation meetings, not the Municipal Officers
Association. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes 13; Noes —0; Excused — 2 (Legislators Booth and
Kiefer). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Intermunicipal Steering Committee has been meeting to
discuss ways the local governments could work together to reduce costs to the residents, and
WHEREAS, the Committee has learned that other Counties have created a Council of
Governments made up of local officials, and
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Council of Governments is intended to be an association of
local governments organized to provide a forum of discussion, study, and negotiation leading to
agreements for a more efficient, improved, and/or less costly delivery of government services, and
WHEREAS, the County of Tompkins desires to be a member of the Tompkins County Council of
Governments, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Government Operations Committee, That the County of
Tompkins does hereby approve becoming a member of the Tompkins County Council of Governments,
RESOLVED, further, That Tim Joseph is appointed as the voting member and Martha Robertson
as the alternate member.

RESOLUTION NO. 117 - ESTABLISHMENT OF GUIDELINES AND FISCAL TARGETS FOR
ALL COUNTY BUDGETING UNITS FOR THE PREPARATION OF
THE 2007 BUDGET
MOVED by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, seconded by Mrs. McBean-Clairborne. Mr. Koplinka-Loehr
provided an overview of the Committee work that produced the resolution. He indicated the fiscal target
contains all salary and fringe costs for 2007, less two percent, which may result in more over -target
requests from departments; he had suggested a one percent figure. Mr. Koplinka-Loehr referred to a
handout from County Administration that provided several different scenarios. Mr. Whicher indicated
that since he initially developed the various scenarios there have been additional items to bear in mind.
The first is that preliminary information indicates $400,000 more in requests than was used to develop the
scenarios; and, if the current trend continues with jail board -outs, there is the possibility of $750,000 costs
also not included in the initial budget. Two positive items are that the Medicaid base numbers came in as
predicted and sales tax revenues are coming in over budget. Mr. Whicher said in any case the budget
process would require an overall review of program cuts/reductions in order to get to a 2.8 percent tax
levy increase. He indicated that his proposal and Scenario "C" may be better balanced in that it cuts into
negotiated salary rather than programs. It may result in over -target requests rather than program
reductions. Mr. Whicher explained various options he may be considering and indicated that he would be
attempting to make reductions that would have as little impact as possible on programs.
It was MOVED by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, seconded by Ms. Herrera, to amend the resolution to
include the following language as outlined in Scenario "C": For all County departments, fiscal targets
shall be equal to the amount approved in the 2006 adopted budget, plus the 2007 negotiated salary
increase (excluding associated fringe costs) for the department's bargaining units. He indicated this
would increase the fiscal target by only the negotiated salary increases. Mr. Proto indicated that this
scenario allows for one more percent of spending while staying within the fiscal target and therefore he
cannot support the amendment. In addition, he spoke of the passage of the resolution regarding rollover
requests and noted perhaps we should have waited to act upon it until the guidelines and fiscal targets
were set. The discussion continued regarding how the various scenarios would effect departments and the
overall budget. Ms. Mackesey felt it was important to maintain programs this year and complete a
program review over the next year by the newly hired Deputy County Administrators. Mr. Whicher
confirmed that he intends to have the program performance review next year. He also reaffirmed that by
having the fiscal target set through the proposed resolution amendments it is then up to the departments to
determine how to develop their budget within the boundaries set.
Following discussion, a voice vote on the motion to amend resulted as follows: Ayes — 11, Noes
— 2 (Legislators Mackesey and Proto), Excused — 2 (Legislators Booth and Kiefer). AMENDMENT
CARRIED.
A voice vote on the resolution as amended resulted as follows: Ayes — 12, Noes — 1 (Legislator
Proto), Excused — 2 (Legislators Booth and Kiefer). 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
215
July 5, 2006
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 August 2, 2006, and
WHEREAS, already -negotiated salary increases will require more than a three percent increase in
department salary and fringe expenses, and
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Legislature wishes to establish targets in order for
departments and agencies to submit their 2007 budget requests, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Capital Committee, That fiscal targets for all
budgeting units for preparation of the 2007 budget are hereby established as follows:
1. For not-for-profit agency grants, fiscal targets shall be equal to the amount approved in the 2006
adopted budget —not including one-time funding nor any funds re -appropriated from previous years.
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, fiscal targets shall be equal to the current year appropriation
not including one-time funding nor adjustments for prior years.
3. For all County departments, fiscal targets shall be equal to the amount approved in the 2006 adopted
budget, plus the 2007 negotiated salary increase (excluding associated fringe costs) for the
department's bargaining units. In addition, department fiscal targets shall not include one-time
funding nor any funds re -appropriated from previous years.

Report from the Pubic Safety Committee
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne, Chair, reported the Committee will meet July 6t1i at 3:00 p.m. The
discussion will include former Legislator Michael Lane's suggestion of taking up the possibility of a joint
jail with Cortland County. Mr. Dennis inquired whether there is any potential for a joint venture with
Cortland County due to their bond ratings. Mr. Squires said that Cortland County's concern is their
constitutional tax margin and debt margin; additional debt would provide more capacity and therefore
would be more of an incentive to enter into indebtedness.
Report from the Workforce Diversity and Inclusion Committee
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne, Chair, reported the Committee met June 28t11 at which time a discussion
occurred regarding the Diversity Policy Guidelines that accompany the Diversity Policy Statement acted
upon previously. The guidelines will go to the Personnel Committee for approval. The next meeting will
take place July 26th.
Report from the Health and Human Services Committee
Mr. Proto, Cham Tuan, reported the Committee met on June 291h to review Health Department fees
for Public Water Supplies. At the meeting the members of the Committee responded to information
provided by Bolton Point's attorney, Mr. Barney, who suggested a different method to determine the fee.
There is a legal action pending determination on July 7t1i. Following the review the Committee reaffirmed
the present fee structure. Mr. Proto then reported the Committee held its regular meeting earlier in the
day, at which time they heard information regarding the youth transportation survey, Timothy's Law, and
acted upon resolutions that will be forthcoming. At the meeting a brief report was provided regarding the
WIC audit that is now complete. The State audit requested review of 5,643 records from 1999 to 2005; of
the requested number 5,459 were located with 92 percent having supporting data.
Mr. Shinagawa was excused at this time (7:05 p.m.).

July 5, 2006
Mr. Proto said Jan Morgan, Director of Nursing Services program at Tompkins Cortland
Community College, shared information with the Committee on the current program and discussed
possibilities of expanded services to meet the need of the community in health care fields. Ms. Joan
Murphy and Ms. Betty Falcao will be contacted to provide additional information regarding areas that can
use assistance. The next meeting will occur on August 2°`1.
Report from and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Facilities and Infrastructure Committee
Mr. Randall, Chair, reported the Committee met on June 27th and received information on the
PAR forms for the Public Works Division. This information on requested capital projects will be
reviewed and brought back to the Committee for action. Mr. Oeschle of the State Court system attended
the meeting to review the space needs for the courts and indicated the need for additional space,
particularly the area presently occupied by the Office for the Aging. Mr. Randall said Solid Waste
Division spoke of a desire to have a Reuse Center and plans to bring additional information and proposals
forward in August.
RESOLUTION NO. 118 - AUTHORIZING THE FILING OF AN APPLICATION FROM NEW
YORK STATE FOR THE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE
(HHW) STATE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM AND SIGNING OF THE
ASSOCIATED STATE CONTRACT, UNDER THE APPROPRIATE
LAWS OF NEW YORK STATE
MOVED by Mr. Randall, seconded by Ms. Mackesey. In response to a question, it was noted
Ms. Kiefer's "no" vote at Committee was due to format, not content. A voice vote resulted as follows:
Ayes 12, Noes 0, Excused 3 (Legislators Booth, Kiefer, and Shinagawa). RESOLUTION
ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the State of New York provides financial aid for household hazardous waste
programs, and
WHEREAS, Tompkins County, herein called the MUNICIPALITY, has examined and duly
considered the applicable laws of the State of New York and the MUNICIPALITY deems it to be in the
public interest and benefit to file an application under these laws, and
WHEREAS, it is necessary that a Contract by and between THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK, herein called the STATE, and the MUNICIPALITY be executed for such STATE aid, now
therefore be it

July 5, 2006
Ms. Robertson, Chair, reported the Committee met briefly prior to the meeting to act upon the
resolution being presented. The next regular meeting will occur on July 20th when a resolution regarding
the Industrial Development Agency density policy will be reviewed. Ms. Robertson spoke of the Scenic
Inventories Survey being completed as part of the County's Comprehensive Plan. Submissions of
"favorite areas" will be accepted until July 31st, with determinations of appropriate inclusion to occur by
September. The intent is to utilize the information for future planning. Mr. Marx noted it could call
attention to an area that is scenic but has poor access; perhaps with proper planning with municipalities it
could be made available to the public.
Mr. Proto spoke of his previous concern regarding the Cayuga Waterfront Trail, in particular,
Common Council's plan to move ahead with eminent domain steps. He spoke of constituent concerns
relating to the possible loss of a driving lane to become a walk/bicycle lane. Mr. Proto said he is
concerned and feels the County should keep current and be aware of the project.
RESOLUTION NO. 119 - AUTHORIZATION TO EXECUTE A RURAL MICROENTERPRISE
LOAN FOR MATT COOPER FURNITURE DESIGNS FROM THE
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT REVOLVING LOAN FUND
MOVED by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Mr. Proto. Ms. Robertson said this grant is funded
from an initial grant program requiring repayment in order to utilize funds for future loans of this nature.
The initial program was recently expanded to allow eligibility to include rural microenterprises. Mr.
Cooper heard of the program through the Alternatives Federal Credit Union; it is designed for low-
income individuals and other specific criteria that he met. Mr. Proto indicated some revisions to the
program are being made; future information will be available within the next month. Ms. Robertson also
indicated that part of the criteria is that expansion/assistance would not affect other local entrepreneurs.
A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes 12, Noes — 0, Excused — 3 (Legislators Booth, Kiefer, and
Shinagawa). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Economic Development Revolving Loan Fund was expanded

Presentation of Distinguished Youth Award
Mr. Randall, District No. 9 Legislator, presented the July, 2006 Distinguished Youth Award to
thirteen -year-old Charles Whitsell of Groton. Charles was nominated by Viola Fitzgerald of Groton
Youth Services, who praised him for being an extremely civic -minded young man who volunteers with
the Groton Farmers Market, Groton's Helping Hands Program, beautification, and other programs,
dedicating many positive services to his community.
Privilege of the Floor by Legislators
Ms. Herrera, District No. 5 Legislator, spoke of a meeting she had with her personal attorney for
the purpose of creating a Last Will and Testament. She said she had to get things written into her Will
because there are rights and responsibilities she is not allowed to have under the current law because she
is not permitted to marry her partner. Today, the Federal Marriage Amendment was defeated in the
House by a large margin. She said if she were in the hospital for some reason, her partner would not be
allowed to visit her under the HIPPA Law unless she provides written permission that says she is
permitted and that document is accepted by the Hospital and recognized by that State. Ms. Herrera said
some of the rhetoric she heard in some of the floor debates was staggering in its lack of acknowledgement
of the moral values this country was founded on having to do with freedom and justice. She said this is a
local -and national -level issue and is thankful to those in the House, some of whom are facing terrific re-
election pressures, for standing up and for fairness and freedom today.
Mr. Stevenson, District No. 8 Legislator and liaison to the History Center, reported
Matt Braun, Executive Director of the History Center, is currently in Los Angeles at the 2006 Museum
Leadership Institute at the Getty Center. This is a leading professional development program for
decision -makers, and is an intensive and highly competitive three-week course. Mr. Braun is there with
directors from museums such as the Smithsonian Institute and the Art Institute of Chicago. Mr.
Stevenson said he has been impressed with the Board and leadership of the History Center and feels it is
in good hands with Mr. Braun as Executive Director.
Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Legislator, reported on the American Cancer Society's Walk for Life
event that took place over the past weekend in Lansing and stated it was well attended. However, as a
result of the weather, the closing ceremony will take place on July 20th at Ithaca College.
Ms. Robertson, District No. 13 Legislator, reported there was another demonstration today of the
election voting machines by one of the vendors who is presenting it's machine to be certified in New York
State. One more session will take place tomorrow at the Borg Warner Room at the Public Library. She
220
July 18, 2006
said it has been interesting to see the machines and try them out, as well as listen to the comments by
members of the public.
Report from the Chair
Mr. Joseph reported last weekend the County's Dragon Boat team defeated the City's team and
captured the trophy dragon. Mr. Joseph thanked all of the individuals who helped sponsor the boat
financially and who helped paddle. He recognized Kathy Luz Herrera, Anita Fitzpatrick, and Karen
Fuller for helping in the organization of the County's team.
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne acknowledged the entire community for their participating in the
Dragon Boat Race and thanked everyone for coming out to support this effort. One of the things she took
away from this was there were a number of the top Dragon Boat racing teams from across the country
here in Tompkins County and who were very pleased by the hospitality shown to them by Tompkins
County residents.
Mr. Whicher thanked Mr. Joseph for his leadership with this event and for making it a fun
experience to be a part of. He presented Mr. Joseph with a certificate thanking him for his participation in
the event.
Report from the County Administrator
Mr. Whicher requested an executive session to discuss collective bargaining. He reported the
Office for the Aging Director search is moving forward and he expects a final decision will be made
before the end of August.
Mr. Whicher recognized Marcia Lynch, Public Information Coordinator, who began employment
with Tompkins County last week.
Report from the County Attorney
Mr. Wood had no report.
Report from the Finance Director
Mr. Squires reported on the County's bond -anticipation note sale that was held last week and said
the County received a rate of 3.63 percent on a bond sale of $8.6 million. He said this is an astounding
rate and the rates have not been this low since March. Mr. Squires attributes this to the County's strong
financial statements and reputation in the financial community. The auditors will be present at the next
Budget and Capital Committee meeting to provide a report on the County's Audit; a summary of the
Audit will be distributed to Legislators this week. Mr. Squires reported on sales tax for the second
quarter of 2006 and stated the June distribution was down, noting it was less than June, 2005. However,
the overall sales tax receipts for 2006 are still $.5 million over budget.
Mr. Proto stated that Mr. Squires should be complimented for his good work and role in
Tompkins County receiving such a good bond rating.

Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Budget and Capital Committee
Ms. Mackesey, Vice Chair, reported the Committee met last week and among other items,
discussed the proposed scheduled for the Expanded Budget Committee meetings. She asked that
Legislators review Draft No. 3 and provide input as soon as possible.
RESOLUTION NO. 121 — AUTHORIZING A PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED LOCAL
LAW NO. 1 - A LOCAL LAW AUTHORIZING A TAX ON REAL
ESTATE TRANSFERS
MOVED by Ms. Mackesey, seconded by Mr. Booth.
Mr. Joseph provided a history on the County's Transfer Tax. He stated two years ago this
Legislature discussed a Mortgage Recording Tax. At that time, an argument in support of the proposal
was put forth that the Mortgage Recording Tax was an alternative to the property tax. An argument
against the Mortgage Recording Tax was that it is still a tax on property and it was felt by some
Legislators that this particular tax makes it more difficult for a first-time homebuyer to make the first step
in purchasing a home.
222
July 18, 2006
The following year a proposal came back before this Legislature to adopt a Real Estate Transfer
Tax. The main difference between the two taxes is that the Transfer Tax is paid by the seller and the
Mortgage Recording Tax is paid by the buyer. That meant that the person who had to pay the Transfer
tax was someone who was getting money versus someone who is paying money out. He said that
argument was enough to gain enough votes to approve a Transfer Tax and that resulted in inclusion of
revenue from a Real Estate Transfer Tax in the 2006 budget.
A resolution was adopted that asked for permission from the State for Tompkins County to have
the authority to adopt this tax. At the present time the State Legislature has granted Tompkins County's
request; however, the Legislation has not yet been signed by the Governor. Once the Governor signs the
bill Tompkins County will need to adopt a local law implementing it. This is where the process stands at
the present time. Although this resolution only sets a public hearing, Mr. Joseph feels this is the
appropriate time to decide whether or not to move forward with this. He encouraged any Legislator who
opposes the Transfer Tax not to support the calling of a public hearing.
Ms. Herrera said although the Transfer Tax will generate additional revenue, she does not support
the creation of any additional tax.
Mr. Sigler said although he does not support the Real Estate Transfer Tax, he supports holding a
public hearing for the purpose of hearing what the public has to say about an important issue. He said he
hopes many people, including real estate agents, will attend the public hearing and speak about this topic.
Mr. Proto said regardless of at what point an individual decides to sell their home, he does not
support adding a new tax. He said when someone sells a home, this tax could end up being buried in the
sale price of the home; therefore, the buyer may end up paying a portion or all of this tax. Mr. Proto said
he would like the County to give more careful examination of County expenses and to live within its
financial parameters.
Ms. Robertson said she supports a Real Estate Transfer Tax because in a sense it is a one-time
tax, compared to an additional ongoing burden placed on the property tax. She said that adoption of this
tax does not mean that this Legislature will not be giving serious consideration to cost-cutting in areas of
the County's budget. She said the Transfer Tax is expected to generate approximately $600,000 in
annual income, which is the equivalent of two percent on the property tax levy.
Mr. Whicher noted this income was included in the 2007 budget revenue.
Mr. Booth urged his colleagues to support the Transfer Tax. He said the real property tax rate is
under tremendous pressure and the County does not have many taxation alternatives to raise revenues.
He agrees that this Legislature has to work hard in controlling County spending.
Mr. Randall said he cannot support imposing an additional burden on taxpayers as he works in
the housing trades and also serves as a member of the First-time Homebuyer Program.
Ms. Mackesey said she supports holding a public hearing because she has not made up her mind
on this issue and would like to listen to public input.
A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 8 (Legislators Booth, Dennis, Joseph, Kiefer, Mackesey,
McBean-Clairborne, Robertson, and Shinagawa); Noes - 6 (Legislators Hattery, Herrera, Proto, Randall,
Sigler, and Stevenson); Excused - 1 (Legislator Koplinka-Loehr). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Legislature requested that the State Legislature adopt
legislation authorizing the Tompkins County Legislature to adopt a local law imposing a tax on real estate
transfers, now therefore be it

Tompkins County Courthouse, 320 North Tioga Street, Ithaca, New York concerning proposed Local
Law No. 1 - A Local Law Authorizing a Tax on Real Estate Transfers. At such time and place all persons

Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Public Safety Committee
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne, Chair, reported the Committee met on July 6 and received an update
from the Department of Emergency Response on efficiency systems that are taking place in the
Department. Mr. Shurtleff talked about a new initiative in the Department which involves emergency
medical dispatch that is geared at providing information to callers in the event of a medical emergency
until help arrives. The Committee will receive a presentation on this at a future meeting. The Committee
heard a report from the Sheriff on inmate phone charges at the Jail. Julia Hughes, Program Coordinator
of the Assigned Counsel Program, and Bill Furniss, a local attorney, spoke of the ability inmates have to
speak with many attorneys and agencies at no charge. They said this is a very useful to all of those
involved and hopes it will continue. It was also noted that there are few if any other jails that allow this
to happen. The Sheriff was asked to provide more detailed information on the phone charges and has
done so since the meeting.
The Committee also discussed the former Civilian Review Board that oversaw complaints
received in regard to the Sheriffs Office. This item was postponed to a future meeting so that Legislator
Kiefer could be in attendance.
The Committee discussed a request by former Legislator Michael Lane on the joint jail study that
was conducted a few years ago by this Legislature. Mr. Joseph provided members with an overview and
conclusions of that study and following a discussion the Committee did not wish to pursue looking at this
again.
Ms. Hughes, Assigned Counsel Program Coordinator, informed the Committee that she is looking
for new space as the Department has outgrown its current space and has also experienced some security
issues in its current location.

RESOLUTION NO. 126 - APPROVAL OF TOMPKINS COUNTY DIVERSITY POLICY
GUIDELINES
MOVED by Mrs. McBean-Clairborne, seconded by Mr. Dennis. Mr. Proto said he cannot
support this resolution because he thinks the current Affirmative Action Plan that is on file can be

County Administrator were added.
A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 12, Noes - 2 (Legislators Hattery and Proto), Excused -
1 (Legislator Koplinka-Loehr). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Legislature adopted the Tompkins County Diversity
Statement under Resolution No. 126, dated July 5, 2005, and
WHEREAS, Tompkins County Departments have requested an expanded Diversity Statement
from the Workforce Diversity and Inclusion Committee to assist department managers in carrying out
County diversity efforts with respect to recruitment, retention and promotion as well as to ensure that
diversity is valued by each and every employee within the County, and
WHEREAS, the Workforce Diversity and Inclusion Committee has developed a comprehensive
Diversity Statement outlining the purpose, goals, strategies, and expectations for consideration, now
therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Workforce Diversity and Inclusion and the Personnel
Committees, That the Diversity Policy Guidelines shall be as follows:
DIVERSITY STATEMENT
Tompkins County government is committed to creating a diverse and fully inclusive workplace that
strengthens our organization and enhances our ability to adapt to change by developing and maintaining:
an organization -wide understanding and acceptance of the purpose and reasons for diversity; recruitment
and retention policies that assure a diverse workforce; a workplace environment that is welcoming and
supportive of all; awareness, understanding and education regarding diversity issues; zero tolerance for
expressions of discrimination, bias, harassment, or negative stereotyping toward any person or group; and
a workforce ethic that embraces diversity and makes it the norm for all interactions, including delivery of
services to the public.
I. PURPOSE
A. Tompkins County government shall foster an organizational culture of inclusion and full
representation in every County department in which:
1. Groups, as well as individuals, are appreciated for their uniqueness and treat each other with
respect;
2. Employees understand and appreciate the heritage and culture of many different groups and
are responsive to the uniqueness of each individual as well as the community that the workforce
serves;
3. Individuals reach beyond their own experience to appreciate and work effectively with people
who are not similar in values and backgrounds; and,
4. All employees reach their full potential in pursuit of organization objectives and goals.
B. Tompkins County government shall strive to reflect in the Tompkins County workforce the multi-
cultural community that it serves. As an organization we must look beyond that which is promulgated in
our local law, Tompkins County Law 6-1991, as amended in 2004, and recognize that valuing diversity
requires both a change in the way we do business and how we interact with each other. Valuing diversity
requires changes in policies and practices to the point of changing the culture of our county organizations.
C. Tompkins County government acknowledges and accepts that a diverse workforce provides
advantages both internally, in terms of the human resources potential offered by a variety of perspectives,
and externally, in increasing the County's ability to serve and be served by an equally diverse community.
228
July 18, 2006
In order to treat people fairly and provide equal opportunity, County departments must seek out and learn
from the different perspectives and values that characterize diverse employees and clients.
II. GOALS
A. Build on the foundation of equality of opportunity and diversity, and embrace these concepts as
necessary to ensure fair representation and treatment of diverse employees and the multi -cultural
community we serve.
B. Establish a strategic plan to promote an organizational culture that values diversity in every County
department.
C. Ensure equal employment and promotional opportunities for all members of our diverse workforce.
D. Create an organizational culture that fosters accountability for learning about, appreciating, and
respecting employee differences and promoting openness to multiple perspectives.
E. Make diversity a core organizational value, one that is practiced and communicated at all levels of
county government and the workforce.
F. Conduct employee education sessions regarding: respecting the individuality of others by creating an
openness to the experience of others; generating awareness of personal perceptions; imparting knowledge
of diversity attributes, and by teaching skills to apply cultural concepts in everyday working behaviors.
G. Hold all managers accountable for demonstrating leadership in promoting an organizational culture
that values diversity.
H. Involve and encourage union leadership in promoting an organizational culture that values diversity.
1. Ensure that awareness of diversity issues is a regular part of daily functioning that is internalized by all
County Personnel.
111. STRATEGY
Workplace cultures usually require people to conform to the style historically dominant in the
organization. In contrast, with an increasingly diverse workforce and community, the County must assess
its culture and identify policies and practices that both help and hinder the inclusion of a wide range of
employees and the culturally sensitive provision of services to the community.
A. The County must move further toward a culture of inclusion, thereby increasing the consciousness and
appreciation of differences associated with the heritage, characteristics, and values of many different
groups, as well as increasing the respect for the uniqueness of each individual.
1. Tompkins County will strive for a pluralistic workforce in an effort to be more responsive to
the service needs of the community.
2. For the County to continue to provide competent and quality services, we must acknowledge
the changing demographics and recognize the impact on the way we do business. In order to be
effective, we will identify the needs of the public and how they view the services we provide.
3. It is imperative that we recruit, hire, and retain highly capable and productive employees into
the County. To do this, we need to attract all qualified individuals, ensure that employees are
acknowledged for their contributions, and encourage employees to achieve their full potential.
229
July 18, 2006
4. We must create programs that address diversity issues and include the full participation and
involvement of managers, supervisors, union leadership, and employees representative of the
many different groups that make up the County workforce.
B. Valuing diversity can have a synergistic effect as the total workforce of Tompkins County
becomes greater than the sum of its parts. With this strategy guiding our actions, we will be
ready to face the challenges of the 21s1 Century.
IV. EXPECTATIONS
The Tompkins County Legislature expects that departments will develop opportunities to draw on the
diverse skills, energies, abilities, knowledge, and perspectives of all employees in order to create a
climate of a more open, flexible, responsive, and responsible work environment — where people can
achieve their full potential, thus becoming more efficient and productive.
For these expectations to be realized, we must:
1. Assess organizational culture with respect to valuing diversity.
2. Involve managers, supervisors, union leaders, employees, and community members in the
development and implementation of the diversity program.
3. Implement new open and inclusive practices and policies for the workplace.
4. Provide annual diversity training to develop new skills for managers, supervisors, union
leaders, and employees.
5. Appreciate and encourage non-traditional approaches to employment, e.g, flexible work
schedules.
6. Achieve an inclusive work environment for all employees.
7. Work through tensions and conflict or cultural clashes toward respectful and productive
resolution.
8. Provide a mentoring and formal development program for all employees.
9. Create a checks and balances system, wherein each level of recruiting, hiring, transfer and
promotion is reviewed and improved upon when necessary.
10. Enforce existing recruitment, retention and promotion policies created to assure a diverse
workforce, including active participation by the entire workforce.
V. RESPONSIBILITIES
1. The Commissioner of Personnel will continue to track the interviewing, hiring, transfer,
promotion and discharge of all personnel in order to ensure the achievement and maintenance of
diversity within the Tompkins County workforce.
2. The Commissioner of Personnel and the Tompkins County Human Rights Commission will
monitor complaints and ensure that there is zero tolerance for discrimination, bias, harassment, or
negative stereotyping toward any person or group. After a thorough investigation, if
discrimination is found, disciplinary action will be taken as outlined by Civil Service law or the
appropriate collective bargaining agreement, or if any one act of discrimination or bias by any
one individual is so egregious, there exists the potential for possible law enforcement action.
3. The County Administrator shall assemble a small team, including the Commissioner of
Personnel and a member(s) of the appropriate legislature committee dealing with diversity to
evaluate annually each Department's approach to incorporate the County's diversity and cultural
goals and action plans. In addition, this group/team shall be responsible for evaluating each
Department Head's ability to initiate, manage, and be accountable for cultural change and
effectiveness in achieving those goals.
230
July 18, 2006
4. On an annual basis, in consultation with the appropriate legislature committee dealing with
diversity, the County Administrator shall recognize Departments that achieve their diversity
goals. The County Administrator, or his/her designee, in consultation with appropriate legislature
committee responsible for diversity will work with Departments whose diversity goals were not
met, to develop a corrective action plan that will be presented, discussed, and acted upon with all
employees within the department.

Regular Meeting
Public Hearing — Proposed Local Law No. 1 of 2006 — A Local Law Authorizing a Tax on Real
Estate Transfers
Chair Joseph called a public hearing to order at 5:30 p.m. concerning proposed Local Law No. 1
of 2006 — A Local Law Authorizing a Tax on Real Estate Transfers, and asked if any member of the
public wished to speak. He noted action on the resolution will be postponed pending the Governor's
signature.
The following e-mail was received by the Legislature from Richard Anderson, 1030 Hanshaw
Road, regarding the public hearing: " I will be out of town on Tuesday, August 1, so I am writing you to
express my position on the proposed transfer tax increase. Owners selling their home already pay $4
per thousand of value in transfer taxes, but I am aware that the County Legislature is considering an
increase of 50 to 100 percent in that burden. This proposal unfairly targets a specific population of
Tompkins County residents, and considering that some families are forced to sell their home because of
exceedingly high property taxes, adding on more taxes is an insult to injury. I am opposed to any increase
in transfer tax or real estate property tax. The county must make adjustments in expenditures rather than
continually reaching into the property owners pockets."
Dick Patterson, President of the Ithaca Board of Realtors, presented the Legislature with a
petition signed by the members of his organization and spoke against the proposed local law. Mr.
Patterson said it would be a hidden tax that would be passed on to the buyers and could make homes less
affordable for first-time homebuyers. In addition, he stated that buyers are concerned with property taxes,
which are at times two to three times the amount they presently pay in other areas of the county. Mr.
Patterson asked personally and professionally that the Legislature not adopt the Local Law Authorizing a
Tax on Real Estate Transfers.
Chris Vann, President of the New York State Association of Realtors, spoke on behalf of his
association and self, requesting that the Legislature not adopt the Local Law Authorizing a Tax on Real
Estate Transfers. He spoke of three particular types of clients that the law would adversely affect: (1) an
elderly individual having to sell their home because they could no longer afford to remain there, (2) a
first-time home -buyer who would have to pay more to allow the seller the profit desired, and (3) an
individual who will choose to live in another County rather than pay another form of property tax. Mr.
Vann asked Legislators to have courage and vote against the law.
No one else wished to speak and the public hearing was closed at 5:37 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: 14 Legislators. Excused: 1 (Legislator Sigler).
Privilege of the Floor by the Public
Lee Shurtleff, Director of Emergency Response, provided information relating to the heat
warnings for the next several days issued by the National Weather Service. Steps have been taken to
provide public service announcements on how to avoid heat -associated problems. In addition, various
organizations have been contacted to determine what resources could be made available. Mr. Shurtleff
announced the Red Cross will be manning a 24-hour ``cooling center" at the Ithaca High School, and that
other buildings throughout the county could be utilized if proven necessary. His department has
anticipated additional calls due to the heat and various emergency/medical services have staffed
237
August 1, 2006
accordingly. With regard to utilities, he reported there are no serious concerns at this time and usage will
continue to be monitored. Mr. Shurtleff noted that with the flooding earlier in the month as well as the
present situation, the Emergency Management Plan developed appears to be working well, and leveraging
limited resources through partnering has been effective. Mrs. McBean-Clairbome announced that there
will be an additional cooling station located at the Greater Ithaca Activities Center from 5:30 p.m. — 10:00
p.m. this evening. Ms. Robertson inquired about monitoring elderly individuals and was informed by Mr.
Shurtleff that his department is requesting that agencies and individuals monitor clients, family members,
and neighbors during the excessive heat.
Brigid Hubberman, Executive Director of the Family Reading Partnership, spoke of the
Partnership, noting it is a grassroots, community -wide effort with a vision to weave knowledge and
inspiration through the use of children's books to provide an interest in reading. Ms. Hubberman
informed the Legislature that the Partnership provides books free of charge and has an extensive
campaign to bring about awareness of the importance of reading. In addition, she spoke of the Family
Reading Partnership having been given national attention. The members of the Legislature were provided
a copy of Jim Trelease's book The Read -Aloud Handbook that provides information on how to read aloud
to children; which includes information on the Family Reading Partnership. Ms. Hubberman asked for
continued support of the Partnership's efforts and noted that the Triad foundation has provided funding to
assist in providing books to public and educational libraries.
Michael Lane, Dryden resident, former Legislator and member of the Industrial Development
Agency, stated he and former Legislator Peter Penniman authored an article recommending the density
policy be abolished. He spoke of the Cayuga Green project's difficulties and noted initially there were
divided votes at the IDA regarding the project; now the project is being reconfigured. Mr. Lane said the
resolution appears to be the result of wanting to appease individuals not pleased with the present policy;
there are many good things in it, however when put together, will not be workable. Mr. Lane said he
believes that the density policy developed five years ago to invigorate downtown is not needed any more.
In addition, other municipalities within the County would not require a density policy. Mr. Lane
requested that members of the Legislature not support the resolution.
Privilege of the Floor by Legislators
Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Legislator, reported that former Tompkins County Civil Engineer, Jim
Kazda, recently took third place in the Empire State Games long jump event as well as winning in another
event during the games. In addition, as noted by Mr. Proto and Mr. Booth, Town of Ithaca Board
member Herbert Engman received a first place in the 800 and 1500 meter 60-64 age group during the
games.
Mr. Dennis, District No. 15 Legislator, stated he has a letter relating to the Family Reading
Partnership he will distribute to Legislators. He also announced that Mr. Trelease would be coming to
Ithaca on September l lth.
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne, District No. 2 Legislator, announced that this evening was the National
Night Out events in the City of Ithaca, and Town of Newfield celebrating communities, law enforcement,
and safe communities.
Ms. Robertson, District No. 13 Legislator, shared information from an article appearing in the
Mother Earth News entitled "12 Great Places You've Never Heard Of", which listed Ithaca, New York
first within the article.
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne announced a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) training program will
take place at the Greater Ithaca Activities Center on Thursday, August 3rd starting at 7:00 p.m. This
training is free of charge and funded in part by a community block grant. Mrs. McBean-Clairborne
238
August 1, 2006
indicated preference will be given to City residents and participation is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Individuals interested in the training must possess a Class '`D" driver's license.
Presentation — Update on HAVA (Help America Vote Act) and Voting Machines
Mr. Bo Lipari of New Yorkers for Verified Voting spoke to the Legislature about his involvement
in various associations and work with the State Board of Election's Advisory group regarding voting
equipment to become HAVA compliant. He addressed the process for the replacement of the present
lever machines by September of 2007, noting testing and selection will be within the next four to six
months. Mr. Lipari reported that as of July 20th eleven voting systems have been submitted to the State
Board of Elections, with each machine's application requiring a $5,000 fee. The majority of these
systems are touch -screen devices (DRE), with three or four optical scanning systems; one is a ballot -
marking device. The testing process will proceed as follows:
• a procedure determining how the systems will be tested will be developed
• testing is anticipated to take approximately thirty days per system
• it is not yet decided if testing of several machines will occur simultaneously
• upon completion of testing the certification process will begin
Mr. Lipari stated he believes the machines could be certified in September if the testing phase
begins in August, with the certification of some of the machines possible by early 2007. If the systems
are sequentially tested it may not be completed for all the machines until next spring. He expressed
concern if the testing were sequential as it may cause an unfair advantage to machines tested and certified
early in the process.
Mr. Lipari spoke of the concern of how many machines would be needed to replace the present
lever -machine systems. At the present time one lever machine serves approximately 800 voters. Some
tests indicated that a disabled person could require 20-30 minutes to complete their voting process. It
appears that more than one DRE machine would be required for each lever machine, however, a timing
study would be an important part of determining the appropriate ratio of DRE's to lever machines. At
this time the State Board of Elections has not contracted for a timing study, which is anticipated to exceed
the $50,000 discretionary budget limit. Because of the cost, the contract will be subject to the Office of
General Services bid process.
Mr. Lipari said if there is a two -to -one ratio for DRE machines, $850,000 would be required for
their purchase, with the County being responsible for any expense above the Federal HAVA funds
provided. He recommends that public hearings be held to assist in making a choice of machine type. Mr.
Lipari said at this time Nassau and Suffolk counties have done so and residents clearly indicated a
preference for an optical scan/paper ballot machine.
In response to a question from Mr. Hattery, Mr. Lipari indicated New Yorkers for Verified
Voting is a non-profit 501-3c group funded by citizen donations.
Mr. DeWitt and Ms. Cree, Election Commissioners, then provided a PowerPoint presentation that
provided an update of their department's HAVA-related work. It was noted that HAVA-related grants
have been submitted to seek funds for polling site access improvements and training/outreach programs
for 2007. They reviewed requirements for New York State as a result of the Federal Lawsuit: one
disabled -accessible voting system per county (Avante `'Vote -Trakker" Auto Ballot Marking System has
been chosen), an interim Statewide database (initial upload completed June 30th) until the final database is
in place in September 2007, and HAVA compliant machines by September 2007. Mr. DeWitt and Ms.
Cree then reviewed information contained in the Brennan Report addressing particular criteria to be
followed to assure accurate elections. In addition, they reviewed the results of hands-on voting machine
testing and surveys completed recently within their department. Information regarding the optical
scanners ability to use one machine for many individuals was reviewed as well as the concerns relating to
239
August 1, 2006
costs and potential problems when using the paper ballot. It was noted an optical scanner will require
annual printing costs; for a Presidential election the minimum cost for printing ballots would be $69,750.
Ms. Cree stressed to the Legislature that although New York State is behind in becoming HAVA
compliant a decision will be made only after a thorough evaluation, and will provide appropriate training
of all staff, inspectors, and technicians, and will also provide public outreach.
In response to Ms. Herrera's question, it was noted that individuals interested in the survey results
could go to www.votetompkins.org.
Ms. Robertson inquired what audit procedures for the voting machines are required by New York
State and was informed that three percent requires manual audits of papers versus machines; for
Tompkins County it would be three machines.
Mr. Proto inquired if there would be the possibility of reimbursement for ballot -printing expenses
and was informed there is no reimbursement, a small amount of funding received can be applied to voter
and co-worker training and machines.
Mr. Dennis asked if Tompkins County would have to choose a machine prior to all machines
receiving certification. Ms. Cree replied that if a particular machine is favored it would be beneficial to
inform the manufacturer as soon as possible, the machines are not a stock item and would have to be
built.
Ms. Robertson asked if the same ballot used for optical scanners would be used as an absentee
ballot and was informed it would be the same. If a DRE machine were chosen, a separate absentee ballot
would need to be printed.
Report from the Chair
Mr. Joseph announced the annual Tompkins County Blood Drive will be held on August 10`n
Due to the recent emergencies the Red Cross has announced blood is in short supply. Mr. Joseph
encouraged members to participate.
Report from the County Administrator
Mr. Whicher announced the final interviews of the two finalists for the Office for the Aging
Director position is taking place on August 14`x'. He referred to the new budget scenario provided to
Legislators for their review and noted it is not good news; this is not the final version and he will be
providing additional updates in the near future. He reported that he and Jonathan Wood, County
Attorney, met with officials of the Statewide Wireless system to go over the technical review. This
review is the second step of the process and went extremely well. His office is preparing a proposal that
will be submitted for consideration. It is hoped that positive feedback will be received in a short period.
Report from the County Attorney
Mr. Wood reported that a judge decided that the County's Public Health fee for water systems is
illegal. Although the sum involved is approximately $40,000, he believes it is important to appeal the
matter. He said that the County would have to charge the same thing to cover the administrative costs
that would require it to be included in property taxes that would have some individuals paying more than
others. He feels the important principle is that the County charge the fee in the most fair manner. Mr.
Booth inquired if there is a lot of case law regarding this matter. Mr. Wood indicated there is a lot of case
law on the charging of fees, and this is somewhat interesting in that this is a fee for a program that is
largely administrative, not tied directly to a water system. Mr. Wood believes case law supports the
County.

Tompkins County
Rural Small Business Loan Program
... A partnership with Alternatives Federal Credit Union
Loan Guidelines
A. INTRODUCTION
The Tompkins County Rural Small Business Loan Program provides low-interest, gap financing for small
businesses for which other types of financing might not be available. The program is designed to meet the
needs of small businesses: retail, service, small manufacturers, home-based businesses, cooperatives,
worker -owned businesses, non -profits and start-ups.
Self-employment and entrepreneurship are staples of the rural economy with over half of all self-
employed workers living in rural parts of Tompkins County. The purpose of the Rural Small Business
Loan Program is to build capacity for self-employed persons and small business owners that will enhance
the incomes and quality of life of rural residents and expand the local economy.
Government funded loans to small businesses, including start up businesses, that cannot obtain traditional
bank financing are riskier than traditional bank loans. It is anticipated that default rates may average 10%
on funds loaned for these purposes. Among the criteria used to evaluate loan proposals and guide loan
decisions are the ability of the applicant to service the debt, the variety and sources of anticipated cash
flow, and the adequacy of the collateral pledged. The ability to service debt may be low in the first two
years of operation, but it is anticipated that these small business loans will increase cash flow in future
years to sufficiently cover debt service.
The program guidelines outlined in this document provide a framework within which the Tompkins
County Rural Small Business Loan Program will operate. The guidelines have been set by the Economic

Approval of Appointment(s) Under the Consent Agenda
There were no appointments.
Report from the Public Safety Committee
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne, Chair, reported the Committee met prior to the Legislature meeting to
act on rollover requests that are on the agenda. The Committee will meet next on August 3rd
Report from the Workforce Diversity and Inclusion Committee
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne, Chair, reported the Committee met on July 26th and is focusing on
bylaws for the Committee. She indicated the intent is to replace Affirmative Action with this Committee
and is initially addressing the matter of bylaws.
Report from the Health and Human Services Committee
Mr. Proto, Chair, said the Committee will meet tomorrow, August 2°a. He also indicated that
several dates will be suggested that will allow the Committee and other Legislators the opportunity to
learn about various agencies associated with the recommended budgets brought forth by the Human
Services Coalition.
Report from the Facilities and Infrastructure Committee
Mr. Randall, Chair, reported the Committee met on July 25`11 during which annual reports were
provided for review prior to discussion at the next meeting. The Committee was introduced to the new
Assistant Director of Facilities; reviewed 2007 budget highlights, including the amendment of the Public
Works Administration budget lines to more accurately reflect the budgeting; Solid Waste projections that
would require a $2 increase in the annual fee to covering anticipated budget increases; Airport projects;
over target requests in the amount of $400,000 from Facilities Division to cover maintenance costs; and
information from the Highway Division regarding increased costs as well as State and Federal assistance
with regard to the recent flooding. Mr. Randall said a decision was made to re-establish the twice -
monthly meeting schedule due to the amount of work to be accomplished; the next meeting will be
Tuesday, August 8th. Ms. Mackesey spoke of having toured Old 76 Road that experienced damage from
the flooding and noted how quickly the work is being completed by County staff. She indicated she was
extremely impressed by their professionalism. Mr. Shinagawa spoke of single -stream recycling having
been discussed at the Committee meeting, explaining it would enable all recyclables to be put in a single
container. He believes it will provide an incentive to recycle. In addition, Mr. Shinagawa said it is
important for Tompkins County to remain competitive in the recycling field; others will take advantage of
the revenue stream if Tompkins County does not.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Planning, Development, and Environmental
Quality Committee
Ms. Robertson, Chair, reported the Committee met on July 20''' and prior to the Legislature
meeting. She noted two items on the Consent Agenda dealt with the rural small business loan program
and provided flyers relating to the program to be given to municipalities. Ms. Robertson spoke of Mr.
Marx's report regarding the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) facility relocation
to Dryden, stating they are proceeding with site acquisition, although the exact timetable is unknown for
completion. Mr. Marx has received a letter in May from the NYSDOT regarding the County's request for
reimbursement as agreed upon in the Memorandum of Understanding indicating they are considering the
249
August 1, 2006
request. She noted that work done by the County on this project was $39,000. In addition to these items,
she reported the Committee heard budget summaries from departments which include a $60-70,000 over
target request from Planning for a variety of projects. In addition, the Committee spoke to Gary Ferguson
of the Ithaca Downtown Partnership's interest in developing an arrangement for County support of the
IDP. Mr. Ferguson will work with Mr. Marx to determine things that the IDP are able to complete that
the County cannot. Ms. Robertson indicated the largest item on the Committee was the Industrial
Development Agency's density policy resolution and included some language changes as a result of the
Committee's meeting prior to the Legislature meeting.
RESOLUTION NO. 136 - SUPPORTING CONTINUATION OF DENSITY INCENTIVE
PROGRAM BY THE TOMPKINS COUNTY INDUSTRIAL
DEVELOPMENT AGENCY
MOVED by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Mr. Shinagawa. Ms. Herrera said she is a member of
the Industrial Development Agency (IDA) as well as the Planning Committee. She is interested in the
future of the density policy and supports many of the intentions completely, however, she said the
amendments suggested at Committee have resulted in a "watered-down" version that she cannot support.
Ms. Herrera spoke of the IDA's discussions to include language within the application form that would
indicate support of items thought to be of value to the community; the amended language has the effect of
suggesting steps that would have the IDA go backwards. In addition, she said the language amendment
of '`should' to "encouraged" do not indicate that the Legislature as a body find particular items important.
She feels that her constituent needs and goals are being discussed and asked that her lack of support is not
viewed as criticism to the density policy or lack of support for economic development but rather a desire
to move forward the discussion, assert, and encourage IDA discussions to be more specific than the
amended resolution presently offered.
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne agreed with Ms. Herrera's statements, noting she was ready to support
the resolution prior to the revisions made at Committee. She expressed concern regarding language
dealing with diversity, noting the Legislature has set policies that show the County as a model that
embraces diversity. In its present form, the resolution is not as strong as the County Diversity Statement.
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne stated the Diversity Statement is more than a particular workforce and diversity
itself, but the way individuals do and/or see businesses working with us; she does not like `'are
encouraged to".
Ms. Robertson indicated amendments are possible. She said a consideration given at Committee
is this is strictly an advisory document crafted to strike a balance between ideal and possible. She
indicated a desire to have a strong vote on the resolution.
Mr. Hattery said as a member of the IDA he supports smart growth, density, and economic health
for the City, however he won't support the density policy or renewal of it as he believes there are inherent
conflicts of the density policy with basic projects of the IDA policies that were designed and supported to
create. In addition, he believes the resolution speaks to the possibility of expanding the density policy to
other municipalities of the County, which unless requested by a municipality should not be included. Mr.
Hattery also believes that use of the IDA tax -abatement authority is a tool that does not work with the
density policy.
Mr. Shinagawa noted the recommendations are not consistent and are hierarchal. He does agree
and believes it should be amended.
It was MOVED by Mr. Shinagawa, seconded by Ms. Mackesey, to amend the bulleted
recommendations offered within the resolution to all read "should" rather than "encourage". He also
stated that he believes that Common Council when reviewing the density policy was looking at
community benefits.
250
August 1, 2006
Mr. Proto noted at today's Committee meeting he had recommend the word '`encourage" as many
tenant businesses may not be able to comply with a livable wage, which while is what is encouraged, may
be an inaccurate assumption by the Legislature. In addition, he believed that an IDA requirement of a
diversity policy may be overstepping its authority. He noted the Committee unanimously agreed with the
amendments.
Ms. Robertson will support the amendment, noting there should be a higher bar for the projects
rather than a general one. She stated the assumption there will be competition for projects and noted the
items would be something extra the projects could provide.
Ms. Herrera supports the amendment that recognizes community benefits that are seen. She
noted what is under discussion at the IDA is more of an educational process.
Mr. Dennis supported "encouraged" at Committee, however will support the amendment,
understanding these are recommendations.
A voice vote on the amendment resulted as follows: Ayes 11; Noes — 3 (Legislators Hattery,
Randall, and Proto); Excused — 1 (Legislator Sigler). AMENDMENT CARRIED.
Ms. Herrera spoke to the recommendation relating to contractors and noted an exception to the
work '`major". She believes there is a shortage of good contractors and that a certified apprentice
program is good.
It was MOVED by Ms. Herrera, seconded by Mrs. McBean-Clairborne, to amend the
recommendation to the following language:
• `'Contractors should offer a certified apprenticeship program for skilled trades in
construction;"
Mr. Booth said he believes all the bulleted items are recommendations. He noted small
contractors may not be able to comply with this request and therefore he cannot support the amendment.
Mr. Dennis said that he had supported the inclusion of "major", however perhaps substituting language
that specified a dollar amount such as $1 million would be adequate.
It was MOVED by Mr. Dennis, seconded by Mrs. McBean-Clairborne to amend the amendment
as follows:
• `'Contractors who receive contracts of $1 million or more should offer a certified
apprenticeship program for skilled trades in construction;"
Ms. Herrera appreciates the intention, however a contractor can subdivide the contract to
subcontractors to avoid this recommendation, she believes the broader statement was better.
Mr. Hattery believes that there are contractors who receive training outside of a certified
apprentice program, which can be better than a certified program, would be discriminated against. He
does not believe the recommendation should be included within the resolution.
Ms. Robertson inquired how the County dealt with this situation regarding our award of bids and
was informed by Mr. Joseph that he believed it too had a $1 million clause. In response to a question of
how the County deals with the potential of subcontracting work it was noted that the County does not
subdivide contracts; in this situation it could be subdivided to avoid the recommendation of certified
apprenticeship programs. Mr. Booth believes the $1 million more specifically covers the desire than the
word "major-.
251
August 1, 2006
Ms. Mackesey noted small contractors would obviously not be able to have a certified
apprenticeship program, she believes the intention is to have as many people as can train their workers.
She believes only deletion of the word "major" is adequate.
Mr. Proto spoke of the issue being discussed previously and recalled how local contractors had
spoken of their not being able to do business with the County due to the apprenticeship clauses within
contracts. Other statewide organizations spoke of how local contractors could receive the training
independently which would enable them to bid. He believes that the County is trying to refine the process
too much and that it will be the IDA who will determine what will prevail. Mrs. McBean-Clairborne
recalled that skilled trade workers also spoke out in support of the apprenticeship program requirement.
She believes the amendment commits the previous resolution passed by the County and will support this.
Mr. Joseph stated the resolution is advice to the IDA and as such it is important that members of
the IDA to support the recommendation. He asked Ms. Herrera if she could and was told by Ms. Herrera
that it is important to have had the discussion and that the $1 million amendment is well intended; in the
spirit of cooperation she will support it.
Mr. Proto noted it was an omission not to mention the skilled trade workers were also present at
the previously mentioned meeting.
A voice vote to amend the amendment dropping the word "major" and inserting a $1 million
threshold resulted as follows: Ayes — 9; Noes 5 (Legislators Hattery, Kiefer, Proto, Randall, and
Stevenson); Excused — 1 (Legislator Sigler). MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Proto requested that the $1 million figure be reviewed as construction costs are rapidly
increasing.
A voice vote on the amendment as amended resulted as follows: Ayes — 9; Noes — 5 (Legislators
Hattery, Kiefer, Proto, Randall, and Stevenson); Excused — 1 (Legislator Sigler). MOTION CARRIED.
Ms. Kiefer indicated that the original resolution had contained a recommendation addressing
competition. She had recommended substitute language for the original resolution and would like to see
one of the options added to the revised resolution.
It was MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Mrs. McBean-Clairborne, to amend the resolution to
include the following: ``Such projects, whenever possible, should avoid direct competition with existing
businesses in the density district;"
Mr. Proto encouraged support of the motion and noted in the past local businesses have been
eliminated due to larger companies coming to the area due to incentives. He believes it is unfair to the
local businesses that have been self-sustaining for years to possibly go under due to incentives provided
much larger firms with no local history. Mr. Proto spoke of discussions with Ms. Herrera relating to the
newly acquired Empire Zones and indicated there is still information to be obtained regarding them; it
may indicate there is no longer a need for the density policy to exist. He recommended postponing action
until this information has been received and reviewed.
Ms. Mackesey spoke of how free enterprise is a standard for the county, with competition being a
large part of it. She noted many towns have experienced local small businesses being overtaken by larger
companies. She believes there is a Targe inconsistency regarding support of the limiting competition. She
believes a planned economic policy is the right thing for the county to do, however, it is a broader
question and a problem to be addressed another time.
252
August 1, 2006
Mr. Joseph spoke against the inclusion of this recommendation; he believes the opposite of Ms.
Mackesey. He said it is not about competition being allowed but rather government should bias the
competition. He thinks individuals wanting the recommendation feel it is not the government's place to
intervene and bias the competition. He said there are other public benefits that outweigh the fact that the
competition is being made biased. If individuals feel the government should not bias the competition they
should not support the resolution. Putting this phrase in the resolution says I want a density policy but
without its inevitable impact which is to bias the competition of businesses in a particular area.
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne respected Mr. Joseph's statements but said each item could have much
the same argument. She spoke of the small businesses and noted they understand diverse communities
and how to embrace it. She noted diversity does not mean hiring of a particular individual, it is only one
piece of it. Mrs. McBean-Clairborne said she did not see anything in the statement that offers protection
or incentive to businesses.
Ms. Robertson believes Mr. Joseph's statements point to the crux of the whole policy. Mr.
Hattery indicated the problem is the density policy for projects that subsidize competitive enterprises,
which is why he believes there has been controversy. He said there would be no need for a density policy
if the projects were restricted and would not be incentive to be competitive; if the clause were included
there would be no need for a density policy. Ms. Robertson replied it is complicated to figure out
individual projects and feels it is the work of the IDA to balance issues surrounding each project.
Mr. Booth said the competition piece is a lot of what the IDA is doing; in addition, many
government decisions bias the playing field in one manner or another. He spoke of zoning ordinances
classifying different commercial districts with a variety of limitations. He said the same is true with street
investments, traffic controls, placement of bridges, etc. as having an impact on a competitive playing
field. If the IDA were to decide the standard is that the projects invested in should not have competition
with existing businesses, there would be very few investments. He urges that the clause not be included
and recognize that a density policy could not exist without competition in some form.
Ms. Herrera said competition helps people to excel. She thought Ms. Kiefer's suggestion was
good. She has heard from many constituents regarding the Cayuga Green project, in particular, that it
was not favorable to provide revenue from tax dollars for a competitive business.
A voice vote on the amendment to reinsert the competition clause resulted as follows: Ayes — 6
(Legislators Hattery, Herrera, Kiefer, McBean-Clairborne, Proto, and Shinagawa); Noes — 8 (Legislators
Booth, Dennis, Joseph, Koplinka-Loehr, Mackesey, Randall, Robertson, and Stevenson); Excused — 1
(Legislator Sigler). MOTION FAILED.
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne inquired if the recommendations indicated the ability to review the
project and recapture funds in the event contractual obligations are not met. It was noted the clause
presently in the resolution calls for a review in the event there are substantial changes to the project itself,
not requirements.
It was MOVED by Mrs. McBean-Clairborne, seconded by Ms. Kiefer, to add the following
clause: `'There should be a recapture policy in the event that a recipient does not live up to their
agreements."
The amendment was clarified to provide a clear understanding that the conditions of the contract
as well as other recommendations such as ones contained within the resolution were required; if
performance did not follow the requirements it could result in paying back funds provided. Mr. Booth
asked if the present laws allow for recapture of funds and was informed it does, however the IDA
presently utilizes this only for contractual agreements relating to job creation. Mr. Shinagawa reported
253
August 1, 2006
that Common Council also has spoken to recapture of funds as outlined in the addition to the resolution.
Ms. Robertson also believed the addition was worthwhile.
A voice vote on the motion to add the recapture clause as stated above resulted as follows: Ayes
— 13; Noes — 1 (Legislator Randall); Excused 1 (Legislator Sigler). MOTION CARRIED.
Mr. Booth stated when former Legislator Mike Lane speaks he listens closely. He agrees with
Mr. Lane that the IDA may create a structure and process so difficult that very few project sponsors come
forward, which would be detrimental to the city and other nodules of development. He believes the
policy should continue because it is difficult to build in centers due to land cost, taxation, etc. and the
policy assists in encouraging development in specified centers. He hopes the City and nodules
throughout the County will continue to do so.
A voice vote on the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes 9 (Legislators Booth; Dennis, Herrera,
Joseph, Koplinka-Loehr, Mackesey, McBean-Clairborne, Robertson, and Shinagawa); Noes — 5
(Legislators Hattery, Kiefer, Proto, Randall, and Stevenson); Excused — 1 (Legislator Sigler).
RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Industrial Development Agency (IDA) adopted the City of
Ithaca Density Incentive Program (density program) in 2001, and
WHEREAS, the resolution of the Tompkins County Legislature originally endorsing that
program provided for that endorsement to sunset in 2006, and
WHEREAS, the IDA is now reviewing the density program, and
WHEREAS, the City of Ithaca has requested that a modified program be continued, and
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Comprehensive Plan's principles and policies, particularly
those in the Centers of Development section of the plan, support dense mixed-use development in central
business districts throughout the county, and
WHEREAS, tax incentives are one of the few tools that can be used at the county level to
encourage a nodal pattern of development that reduces sprawl, conserves natural resources, preserves
farmland and open space, efficiently utilizes investments in public infrastructure, and builds sustainable
communities, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Planning, Development and Environmental Quality
Committee, That the Tompkins County Legislature endorses continuation of a density incentive program
administered by the Tompkins County Industrial Development Agency,
RESOLVED, further, That the Tompkins County Legislature urges the IDA to incorporate the
following as part of its review of density policy projects, in order to maximize the community benefits of
such development:
• Such policy should be available to any community that develops a density incentive program
in accordance with the principles and policies of the Tompkins County Comprehensive Plan;
• Any policy should require, for each project, an independent and comprehensive financial
needs analysis;
• Contractors who receive contracts of $1 million or more should offer a certified
apprenticeship program for skilled trades in construction;
• A significant percentage of construction labor should be local workers;
• Tenant businesses should provide livable wages and opportunities for advancement for
employees;
• Projects should have a diversity plan and track diversity in employees, including tenant
businesses within density policy projects;
Such projects should incorporate urban design elements that encourage pedestrian travel and
facilitate community interaction;
Buildings should be Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design ("LEED") certified;
Any residential development in a density policy project should include some affordable
housing;
254
August 1, 2006
• Substantial changes in projects following IDA approval should result in a new IDA review;
and
• There should be a recapture policy in the event that a recipient does not live up to their
agreements.
RESOLVED, further, That the Tompkins County Legislature will receive annual updates and

Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Government Operations Committee
Ms. Herrera, Chair, reported the Committee met on July 19th; the work is reflected on the Consent
Agenda. In addition, Mr. Potter, Director of Information Technology Services Department, spoke to the
Committee about the Communications Policy and E -Mail System update requirements. In addition, Ms.
Herrera reported on the resolutions regarding Advisory Board appointments as well as the Rules of
Voting. She noted that the Committee will also be addressing what appears to be an additional conflict
regarding voting between Legislative Policy and Roberts Rules as well as times when the full Legislature
is not in attendance. Ms. Herrera said that following the meeting the Committee toured the County
Clerk's office and was shown how the archive grants have improved the office.
RESOLUTION NO. 137 - ADOPTION OF REVISED ADMINISTRATIVE POLICY 01-26 -
ADVISORY COMMITTEES AND BOARDS
It was MOVED by Ms. Herrera, seconded by Mr. Booth. Ms. Herrera stated the modifications
completed by the Committee were to clarify the policy; she said it isn't ideal but reflects the work of the
Committee. Mr. Proto said the revision may be the intent of this Legislature, but may not be what
previous Legislature's intended. He does not support the resolution and expressed his concern for item
number five, as he does not believe individuals not residing within the County should have the ability to
have a voting seat and make decisions. Mr. Proto spoke of various advisory board's carrying weight with
particular issues and feels the amendment softens the procedure for those outside of the County desiring
placement on advisory boards. Mr. Stevenson stated he voted against it in Committee and will not
support the resolution now. He agreed with many of Mr. Proto's statements and believes it does not
provide a consistent policy and allows for an arbitrary statement.
It was MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Ms. Mackesey to amend the first paragraph to read:
"WHEREAS, to enable the County's Advisory Committees and Boards to better advise the
County Legislature, the policy on Advisory Committees and Boards has been revised to include a
provision for filling certain seats with non -County residents,"
A voice vote on the motion resulted as follows: Ayes — 10; Noes — 4 (Legislators Hattery, Proto,
Randall, and Stevenson); Excused — 1 (Legislator Sigler). MOTION CARRIED.
255
August 1, 2006
It was MOVED by Mr. Proto, seconded by Mr. Stevenson, to delete the following language from
item #5 in the policy "or where the County Legislature approves advisory board bylaws that provide that
one or more seats on the advisory board will be filled by the holder of a particular office or position."
Ms. Herrera said the purpose of the language is to make the policy consistent with what presently
is occurring. The suggestion to remove the language would provide guidance and she could support the
amendment. She then provided information of how some individuals are on advisory boards due to
positions required by Federal or State law; other advisory boards have included non-residents holding
particular positions. To say only Federal and State law would eliminate non-residents holding seats that
are not required by law. Mr. Proto spoke of how specific titles are required. Ms. Robertson said the
proposal is the same mechanism with the exception of the Legislature signifying a seat. She indicated the
amendment makes the County policy parallel with State and Federal policy. Mr. Joseph noted the policy
is clear; the proposal is to change a statement equally clear. Mr. Booth agreed with Mr. Joseph's
interpretations and urged the vote be taken.
A voice vote on the motion resulted as follows: Ayes — 5 (Legislators Hattery, Herrera,
Mackesey, Proto, and Stevenson); Noes — 9; Excused — 1 (Legislator Sigler).
A voice vote on the resolution as amended resulted as follows: Ayes — 10; Noes — 4 (Legislators
Hattery, Kiefer, Proto, and Stevenson); Excused 1 (Legislator Sigler). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, to enable the County's Advisory Committees and Boards to better advise the County
Legislature, the policy on Advisory Committees and Boards has been revised to include a provision for
filling certain seats with non -County residents, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Government Operations Committee, That the following
Administrative Policy is hereby revised and adopted:
01- 26 Advisory Committees and Boards
SEQR ACTION: TYPE 11-20
RESOLUTION NO. - AMENDING THE RULES OF THE LEGISLATURE — RULE VII -
RULES OF VOTING
It was MOVED by Ms. Herrera, seconded by Mr. Stevenson.
Ms. Kiefer noted that her question regarding use of "Legislature" with Rule VII (2) was
confirmed with Ms. Fuller. She suggested it may read clearer if worded as follows: "(2) Every member
present when a vote is taken upon any question shall vote unless excused by unanimous consent of all
members present, or unless the Legislature asks the County Attorney for his legal interpretation and the
County Attorney advises that the member has a direct interest in the result of the vote."
Ms. Herrera stated the problem with Ms. Kiefer's suggestion is that it would have the County
Attorney making the decision; as was previously stated asks for an opinion. Although a slim difference
she feels it is important.
It was MOVED by Ms. Kiefer to amend Rule VII (2) as follows: "(2) Every member present
when a vote is taken upon any question shall vote unless excused by unanimous consent of all members
present, or unless the Legislature asks the County Attorney for his legal interpretation and the County
Attorney advises that the member has a direct interest in the result of the vote."
Further discussion followed and Chair Joseph granted Ms. Herrera permission to withdraw the
resolution from the agenda.
256
August 1, 2006
WHEREAS, it is desirable to amend the present Rules of Voting to more clearly specify
procedure to determine a direct interest in the result of the vote, and
WHEREAS, it is also desirable to have the advice of the County Attorney in determining direct
interest, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Government Operations Committee, That paragraph (2)
of Rule VII, Rules of Voting is hereby amended as follows:
RULE VII - RULES OF VOTING
(2) Every member present when a vote is taken upon any question shall vote unless excused by
unanimous consent of all members present, or unless the County Attorney upon Legislature request
advises that that member has a direct interest in the result of the vote. The Chair shall in all cases, except
upon appeals from rulings of the Chair, have a right to vote.

RESOLUTION NO. 139 — RESOLUTION REQUESTING A CALL FOR STATEWIDE SCHOOL
AID REFORM
It was MOVED by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, seconded by Mrs. McBean-Clairborne. A voice vote
resulted as follows: Ayes 11; Noes — 3 (Legislators Hattery, Proto, and Randall); Excused — 1
(Legislator Sigler). RESOLUTION ADOPTED. Ms. Robertson noted that school funding based upon
property taxes is not the best method and the resolution addresses this issue.
WHEREAS, there is a dual crisis within New York State's school system, and
WHEREAS, New York State is 48th in graduation rates and number one in property taxes, and
WHEREAS, as the State's share of public education costs drops, Local school districts are forced
to either make cuts in programs or increase their local school taxes to make up the difference and the
result is struggling schools and skyrocketing property taxes, and
WHEREAS, a shifting of a larger share of school funding away from local property taxes and
into the State budget would produce fundamental changes in the growth of property taxes, and
WHEREAS, the only way to solve both problems is to fundamentally reform school funding so
that a much larger share is funded through the State budget, and
WHEREAS, such reform, coupled with a commitment by the State to provide a large infusion of
additional school funding resources to school districts with the greatest unmet educational needs will have
significant positive impacts in bringing property taxes under control and improving graduation rates and
other educational outcomes, and
WHEREAS, any reforms that seek to solve only one part of this two-pronged crisis are likely to
exacerbate the other, and
WHEREAS, it is highly desirable to solve both the problem of low graduation rates and the
problem of skyrocketing local taxes by funding a larger portion of school budgets through the State
budget, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Capital Committee, That the Tompkins
County Legislature strongly supports the enactment of statewide legislation to resolve both the problem
of low graduation rates and skyrocketing local taxes,
RESOLVED, further, That we call upon State leaders to adopt real school aid reform that shifts
the burden of paying for our schools away from local tax dollars and into the State budget and targets
additional money toward those districts with the highest need,
RESOLVED, further, That this resolution should be sent to Governor Pataki, gubernatorial
candidate Eliot Spitzer, gubernatorial candidate John Faso, gubernatorial candidate Tom Suozzi, and all
members of the State legislature representing Tompkins County.

they have been working on for the last year. There were a number of recommendations contained in the
report that Mrs. McBean-Clairborne summarized. Ms. Leinthall, Director of the Department of
Probation and Community Justice, spoke to the Committee about a new program the Department is
working on that would provide internet monitoring of sex offenders. The intention of this new program is
to assist in preventing offenders from reoffending. She noted there are a number of issues surrounding
this that still need to be worked out. The Assigned Counsel Program reported it will be relocating to a
larger office down the hall from the current space. The Department of Emergency Response reported the
Public Safety Communications System is progressing and moving forward. At the meeting Mr. Whicher
informed the Committee that Cornell University has expressed an interest in becoming involved in the
266
August 15, 2006
Communications System. Judge Olds was also in attendance at the meeting to provide an overview of the
Ithaca Community Treatment Court.
RESOLUTION NO. 147 - DESIGNATION OF THE NATIONAL INCIDENT MANAGEMENT
SYSTEM (NIMS) AS THE BASIS FOR ALL INCIDENT
MANAGEMENT IN THE COUNTY OF TOMPKINS
MOVED by Mrs. McBean-Clairborne, seconded by Mr. Hattery, and unanimously adopted by
voice vote by members present.
WHEREAS, the President in Homeland Security Directive (HSPD)-5, directed the Secretary of
the Department of Homeland Security to develop and administer a National Incident Management System
(NIMS), which would provide a consistent nationwide approach for Federal, State, local, and tribal
governments to work together more effectively and efficiently to prevent, prepare for, respond to, and
recover from domestic incidents, regardless of cause, size, or complexity, and
WHEREAS, the collective input and guidance from all Federal, State, local, and tribal homeland -
security partners has been, and will continue to be, vital to the development, effective implementation,
and utilization of a comprehensive NIMS, and
WHEREAS, it is necessary and desirable that all Federal, State, Local, and tribal emergency
agencies and personnel coordinate their efforts to provide the highest levels of incident management, and
WHEREAS, to facilitate such incident management it is critical that Federal, State, local, and
tribal organizations utilize standardized terminology, standardized organizational structures, interoperable
communications, consolidated action plans, unified command structures, uniform personnel qualification
standards, uniform standards for planning, training, and exercising, comprehensive resource management,
and designated incident facilities during emergencies or disasters, and
WHEREAS, the NIMS standardized procedures for managing personnel, communications,
facilities, and resources will improve the County's ability to utilize Federal funding to enhance local and
State agency readiness, maintain first responder safety, and streamline incident management processes,
and
WHEREAS, the Incident Command System components of NIMS are already an integral part of
various incident management activities throughout the County, including the current emergency
management training programs, and
WHEREAS, the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks (9-11 Commission) recommended
adoption of a standardized Incident Command System, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Public Safety Committee, That the Tompkins County
Legislature does hereby establish the National Interagency Incident Management System (NIMS) as the
County standard for incident management,
RESOLVED, further, That the Tompkins County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan,
its appendices, annexes, and mutual -aid plans, be amended as appropriate by the Department of
Emergency Response to reflect the adoption and practice of the NIMS standard by county government
and partnered entities.

Privilege of the Floor by the Public
Allen Lambert, East Falls Street, spoke in opposition to the manner property assessments are
completed. He stated previous correspondence to the County and Director of Assessment has not yet
been responded to and since then, additional research confirms his belief errors in assessment calculations
are taking place. Mr. Lambert also expressed his desire for the Legislature to honestly speak to the issue
of expenditures and that alternatives such as cutting services rather than pass what could be viewed as
hidden taxes such as the proposed transfer tax would be preferred.
Richard Patterson, President of the Ithaca Board of Realtors, delivered additional petitions against
the resolution entitled "Adoption of Local Law No. 1 of 2006 — A Local Law Authorizing a Tax on Real
Estate Transfers". He also asked that consideration be given to the low- and moderate -priced
homeowners in Tompkins County whose only asset is the equity in their home. Mr. Patterson pointed out
that the transfer tax may create a situation where a capital gain would be greater for the individual with
the lower- to moderate -priced home. He feels the tax should be based on gain rather than the price of a
home.
Steve Vrana, Ellis Hollow Road, shared photographic layouts of the difference between the north
and south side of Ellis Hollow Road at different locations. He feels consideration should be made not to
move the centerline more north as it would have a detrimental impact on homes and property located on
the north side of the road. He stated if it is moved more north where older homes are close to the existing
road, homeowners would lose landscaping, deal with noise pollution, and decrease the value of their
home with regard to future sales.
David McFarren, Ellis Hollow Road, read the following statement:
"Between 1984 and 1987, I served on the school board here in Ithaca. Years later and to this day I
like to tell people that —I served my full three-year sentence. And the dominant worries I faced on the
board were —Am I doing the right thing? Am I taking the easy way out? Am I worthy of the public trust?
I am sure that you, sitting here on this board, have many of the same thoughts.
"Tonight I come before you to speak about the proposed moving of the centerline of Ellis
Hollow Road to the north and to ask you two difficult questions. But first, a little geology.
"As rainwater and snowmelt trickle down the slope on the south side of Ellis Hollow Road, fine
particulates and organic matter are deposited on the hillside. During heavy rains, lots of material gets
washed into the ditch. As you know, the highway department spends lots of money every year to keep
these cleaned out. And every year, the hillside to the south encroaches a tiny bit more on the roadway. It's
a never-ending battle. If left on its own, the ditch would soon fill up and disappear and the sediments
would start to overtake the roadway -eventually creating a smooth, continuous slope once again and no
road at all. Obviously, we can't let that happen.
``But, because of these natural actions, IT WILL ALWAYS BE EASIER TO MOVE THE ROAD
DOWNHILL TO THE NORTH. If you drive down Ellis Hollow Road, you will notice that many of the
268
September 5, 2006
houses on the north side of the road are closer to the road than those on the uphill south side. Why? Has
the road already been moving imperceptibly downhill since the days of the horse and buggy? It's only
natural that it would. It's the easy way out.
"That brings me to the first of my two questions. How many of you own your own homes here in
Tompkins County. Can I see a show of hands? So you have all been house -hunting at sometime or other.
My question for you is When is a house too close to the road? At what point do you not even get out of
the Realtor's car to look because you feel that the house is too close to the road? What would it feel like to
be living in a house that no one will buy because it is perceived as being too close to the road?" Oh, and
by the way, it is not only the proximity to the roadway that I am talking about. As the road moves closer to
your front door, the noise of the cars and trucks passing by gets louder and louder. On the uphill side of
the road, the hillside acts as a natural barrier to block and deflect many of the sounds of the roadway. On
the downhill side, there is no such advantage to be had. It's a double whammy.
"My second question to you concerns a matter of fairness. Jim Dewey of 1556EIlis Hollow Road
moved to this address in 1959. In 1959, I was only ten years old. And Jim tells me that since he has lived
on the road, he remembers the centerline being moved to the north, closer to his house at least once if not
twice. Of course, there are probably no records of this happening. Back in those days, the road builders
simply did the work without consulting anybody. Probably no lawyers were involved either and no
paperwork. But we don't do things that way today. We have meetings and discuss proposals and build
consensus. It's only right. So I am asking you all this evening if it is the right thing to do to, once again,
take the easy way out, and propose that the centerline be moved downhill to the north. It's easier. It's
cheaper. BUT IS IT THE RIGHT THING TO DO?"
Norman Vrana, Ellis Hollow Road, stated his home is on the north side of the roadway and he
feels to move the centerline is setting a bad precedent. Mr. Vrana feels that unless the possibility is
disclosed to a homeowner prior to purchase the assumption is this will not occur. He also feels that
unless the widening of the road can be done in a manner to keep the centerline of the road as it presently
is no work should take place.
Cynthia Hannah -White, Ellis Hollow Road, questioned the need to widen the road and believes
this will only increase the quantity and speed of traffic. She also believes moving the centerline to the
south is better as more homes are closer to the northern side of the road, as well as the northern homes
having landscape features. Her house is on the north side and already has a steep driveway will it be even
steeper? Ms. Hannah -White feels that without formal eminent domain proceedings it is illegal for the
County to take land as suggested and will proceed with appropriate steps if she determines she is correct.
Robert Kuehn, Ellis Hollow Road, agreed with the previous statements relating to speeding and
location. He doesn't feel that shoulders should be widened for bike lanes and that to widen the road will
eliminate hedges and other landscape features that have been in the community for years. He hopes a
better plan will be developed and if not will consider seeking legal counsel.
Kimberly Michaels of 1430 Ellis Hollow Road read the following statement:
"The proposal to re -align and widen Ellis Hollow Road brought to the residents this summer by
the County is unacceptable to many residents. While I agree that the road needs repair, it does not need to
be widened.
"Ellis Hollow Road is the spine for a very active community. We see our road as an integrated
part of our neighborhood. Pedestrians and bicyclists frequent the road. Many of us living along the road
have children and pets. There is a concern that current speeds on the road present a safety hazard, as
many vehicles exceed the 45 -mile an hour speed limit. Construction and delivery traffic often uses Ellis
Hollow Road as a shortcut between Rte. 79 and Cornell, adding to the safety concerns. Many of our
mailboxes are across the street forcing residents to cross speeding traffic to get their mail, and nearly
every resident has a story to tell about an accident that occurred near their home, or, unfortunately, ran
into their yard.
269
September 5. 2006
"Widening the road and adding shoulders will only lead to increased traffic and speeds.
Information on traffic calming tells us that narrower roads lead to slower speeds and safer neighborhoods.
Ellis Hollow is a community that is seeking to preserve its neighborhood character in the face of these
road improvements. In the interest of maintaining a neighborhood feel, and a safe place for our children
and homes, I request that the revised proposal does not include road widening.
"Furthermore, along the north side of the road, the houses, particularly the historic homes, are
very close to the road. The proposal given this summer included moving the road further north, and
adding width to the shoulders. Also included in this proposal would be the grading necessary to
implement these changes. Moving the road closer to homes already so near to the street disrupts the
living conditions for families on the north side, reducing the buffer of their front yards and increasing the
noise levels in their homes. Re -aligning the road, widening the shoulder, and re -grading will also wipe
out many of the homeowners' property improvements. Fences, trees and gardens will be affected. One
of the aesthetic as well as traffic calming qualities of Ellis Hollow Road is that it is tree -lined for much of
its length. Even small grade changes, such as a few inches, is enough to kill trees. Wiping out long
banks of mature trees will not only change the character of the neighborhood, it will lead to increased
speeds, and will take years and years to regenerate.
`'Perhaps the most compelling point is that legally, the residents of Ellis Hollow own to the center
of the roadway. The county has rights to improve any land that they currently use, but do not have legal
standing to take land from any property owner. This issue has been fought and lost by the county on two
occasions in recent history. It is completely unacceptable that the county continues to represent to the
community and to its designers that they have rights to land when they do not. I strongly and respectfully
ask this committee not to consider any plans in which property is taken from a resident along Ellis
Hollow."
Pat Pryor, Lansing, spoke in opposition of the resolution entitled "Adoption of Local Law No. 1
of 2006 — A Local Law Authorizing a Tax on Real Estate Transfers". She said the constituency of future
homeowners is organized, but just because it's easy to pass this tax, she expects better from fellow
Democrats. She indicated that as a senior citizen the proceeds from her recent sale are being utilized to
make improvements to the downsized home recently purchased. Ms. Pryor stated the recent purchases of
ramps, fencing, insulation, etc. are to enable her to stay within her new home as she ages.
At this time Mr. Joseph noted there is no action item on the agenda with regard to Ellis Hollow
Road. He will ask that the resolution entitled "Adoption of Local Law No. 1 of 2006 — A Local Law
Authorizing a Tax on Real Estate Transfers" be moved up on the agenda to allow those speaking to the
issue to be present during discussion.
Privilege of the Floor by Legislators
Ms. Herrera, District No. 5 Legislator, said that although she had missed the Labor Day picnic at
Stewart Park, she had been informed that fellow Legislator, Nathan Shinagawa, had been named "Friend
of Labor'' for his work on health care initiatives.
Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Legislator, asked that Mr. Randall, as Chair of Facilities and
Infrastructure, provide an update on Ellis Hollow Road. He then shared information on individuals
receiving billings from New York State Electric and Gas that the dates have been shortened and some are
receiving a billing with a zero balance. Mr. Joseph indicated this is due to a refund due customers as a
result of an estimation overcharge. Mr. Proto cautioned individuals to confirm that the zero billings are
correct. He also spoke of a Public Service Commission mandate to refund money to New York State
Electric and Gas customers.
Ms. Robertson, District No. 13 Legislator, said there was a public meeting in July regarding the
Ellis Hollow Road reconstruction. She noted she has been working with the appropriate Public Works
staff regarding the project, which is still in the planning stage, with no final determination of the road
270
September 5, 2006
design. She intends to forward information regarding the project to the community within the week. She
then spoke of upcoming open enrollment for Medicare Part "D" between November 15 to December 31
for any individual not yet enrolled. There are a number of clinics being held at Lifelong, one of which is
September 6 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon; questions regarding Medicare Part "D" should be directed to
Lifelong or the Tompkins County Office for the Aging. Ms. Robertson then announced a primary
election is coming up on September 12 and urged residents to participate.
Mr. Booth, District No. 3 Legislator, requested that the Legislators be provided with a summary
of the law with regard to the legal need to widen a highway and what the County's rights are with regard
to moving a centerline without pursuing eminent domain proceedings. He believes it would be useful for
Legislators to have this information. Mr. Wood indicated he had already received this request from Mr.
Marx, Commissioner of Public Works and Planning.
Mr. Dennis, District No. 15 Legislator, reminded Legislators of the September 111h Family
Reading Partnership program featuring Mr. Jim Trelease to be held at the Kulp Auditorium at 7:30 p.m.
Members of the Legislature are invited to learn more about the value of reading to children.
Mr. Proto announced that he hoped Ms. Pryor and the public realize that all members of the
Legislature will be responsive to requests made and that it is recognized that there will be a level of
fairness, regardless of party affiliation.
Mr. Stevenson, District No. 8 Legislator, announced that during the weekend of September 16
Newfield will be having its Old Home Days. This year's theme is to honor Mazourek Farms one -hundred
years within the community. Mr. Stevenson invited all residents to participate in the charm of a small
community.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Budget and Capital Committee
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, Chair, stated that most items undertaken by the Committee can be found
within the agenda or summarized in the 2007 Proposed Budget materials provided to members.
RESOLUTION NO. 148 - ADOPTION OF LOCAL LAW NO. 1 OF 2006 - A LOCAL LAW
AUTHORIZING A TAX ON REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS
MOVED by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, seconded by Mr. Booth.
Mr. Stevenson spoke in opposition to the resolution and noted it caused the most significant
public input of any issue since he has become a member of the Legislature. He stated all constituents who
have contacted him have been against the transfer tax and that it is not the way they wish to have the
Legislature respond to financial need.
Mr. Proto agreed with Mr. Stevenson and noted the time to consider an issue such as this is
during or subsequent to the budget deliberations; he will not support the resolution.
Ms. Kiefer spoke of the fact the 2005 Legislature had voted to include revenue from the
anticipated tax within the 2006 budget and for her the resolution is simply a follow-through to that
decision. She noted new members may not feel there was an opportunity for their input, however she will
support the resolution for the reasons stated.
Ms. Mackesey indicated it is a difficult decision for her to make regarding whether to support the
resolution, however this evening she cannot support it. She believes in taxes as a manner to provide many
wonderful things for our country such as lunch programs, bridges, roads, immunizations, etc., however
the past twenty-five years have not shown a continuation of positive decisions. Ms. Mackesey spoke of
271
September 5, 2006
her disappointment in the manner the Federal government has shifted from assistance to a system that
created winners and losers as well as eliminating programs. Ms. Mackesey said as a result of choices
made by State and Federal government the County is trying to keep services at a level that assists the
residents, yet neither young or older citizens can afford to continue paying the taxes.
Mr. Randall spoke in opposition of the resolution, noting it would take away additional funds
from those who do not have a great deal.
Ms. Robertson said of total local property tax, three-quarters is school tax; the County was able to
keep the levy flat from 2005 to 2006, and continues to seek ways to reduce expenses and maintain a zero
percent increase in the tax levy. She also spoke of being disappointed that the Ithaca Board of Realtors
site did not indicate what the Toss would be to residents. Ms. Robertson noted a variety of potential cuts if
the transfer tax is not adopted. While she agrees with Ms. Mackesey there is a need to restructure
government she disagrees with Ms. Mackesey's conclusion, noting the transfer tax represents a fee that
may be paid only once or twice within a lifetime rather than each year, which makes it more palatable.
Mr. Sigler is opposed to the resolution; he is disappointed that anticipated revenue had been
budgeted for the current year that creates a shortfall. He believes the transfer tax could be a problem and
in light of the public outpouring against the tax he will not vote in favor of it.
Mr. Joseph explained he will vote in favor of the resolution and noted that it is a manner to fund
County programs that would not require an annual increase in property taxes that could potentially force a
sale of a home to pay for the taxes. He also spoke of the proposed budget cuts and the need for the
Legislature to determine the best manner to provide for the citizens of the County with the least impact.
Ms. Kiefer desired to correct information included in the Ithaca Board of Realtors transfer tax
information and noted that Tompkins County is not the first county to enact a transfer tax. She shared
information indicating that Erie, Broome, and Nassau County each have a transfer tax that has been in
place for almost a decade; at .5%, .1% and 1% respectively. She said Tompkins County's .2% transfer
tax puts it in the lower end of the tax rates.
Mr. Booth said it is correct for the County to seek additional ways to raise revenue that reduces
pressure on property taxes. He said there are reasons not to support the resolution, and he assumes a
referendum would vote down this proposed change. Mr. Booth said although the transfer tax is not a
desirable tax, it is less undesirable than raising property taxes. He believes the general property tax is an
especially burdensome tax because there is no relationship between the tax and a person's ability to pay
the tax. In addition, he noted there presently is a transfer tax in place with all the revenue going to the
State of New York; this transfer tax will provide a portion of this tax to the County. Mr. Booth said he
would reluctantly support the resolution.
Mr. Shinagawa noted people are normally opposed to additional taxation. In his discussions with
constituents some came to understand why the choice was made for a transfer tax, others did not. He
stated that without the transfer tax deeper cuts into services would affect the quality of life substantially to
the point of hurting the County overall. He will support the resolution.
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne said as a homeowner she dislikes taxes of any kind. If the resolution
passes she would like to remind the Legislature that by doing so, the taxes should not increase as though
it were nonexistent.
Ms. Herrera noted that a transfer tax would not benefit those who by nature of their business sell
numerous houses such as realtors and individuals who "flip" homes for profits. She also noted that for
those retired selling homes the amount of money the tax represents could be significant to them. She said
272
September 5, 2006
the transfer tax is not intended to put the burden on any particular group of individuals, however, she
would like to see a sunset clause that would provide for a review of this tax.
Mr. Proto recalled a variety of taxes that were put in place as a temporary measure such as the
one percent sales tax enacted in the 1990's to restore the fund balance; it is still in place with the County
relying on the revenue. He asked for clarification of who would pay the transfer tax in the event the seller
is a tax-exempt organization; he recalled the responsibility would fall upon the buyer in this case. Mr.
Wood stated the grantor pays the tax unless under law is exempt. A specific list of who is exempt is used
and is different than a property tax exemption. If the seller falls into this category, the buyer pays the
transfer tax.
Ms. Herrera stated that if the resolution fails she is willing to raise the tax rate equivalent if the
Legislature directive cannot be met.
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr doesn't believe anyone likes to pass an additional tax. This is more like a
fee. He reviewed the history of the resolution, and noted the Governor only recently signed the
legislation. Mr. Koplinka-Loehr takes exception to Ms. Herrera's statement, stating he does not believe it
is possible to find an additional $500,000 in reductions to the budget as $1.6 has already been reduced.
Ms. Robertson noted the revenue was placed in the 2006 as one of many projections that are
made every year, based on the best information we have at budget time.
A roll call vote on the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes — 8 (Legislators Booth, Dennis,
Joseph, Kiefer, Koplinka-Loehr, McBean-Clairborne, Robertson, and Shinagawa); Noes — 7 (Legislators
Hattery, Herrera, Mackesey, Proto, Randall, Sigler, and Stevenson). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, Resolution No. 141 of 2005 requested an amendment to New York State Tax Law
Article 31 to permit Tompkins County to Impose a County Transfer Tax, and
WHEREAS, the request was approved by the New York State Assembly, New York State Senate,
and the Governor of New York State, and
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held before the Tompkins County Legislature on August 1,
2006, to hear all persons interested in proposed Local Law No. 1 of 2006 - A Local Law Authorizing a
Tax on Real Estate Transfers, now therefore be it
RESOLVED on recommendation of the Budget and Capital Committee, That proposed Local
Law No. 1 of 2006 - A Local Law Authorizing a Tax on Real Estate Transfers, is hereby adopted,
RESOLVED, further, That the Clerk of the Legislature shall publish in the official newspaper of
the County a notice of adoption containing a synopsis of said local law and shall within twenty days file
one certified copy in the Office of the County Clerk, and one copy with the Secretary of State.
SEQR ACTION: TYPE 11-20
Chair's Report
Mr. Joseph reported the first Expanded Budget Committee meeting will take place on September
6`' and noted these meetings will run through the dinner hour and asked that members donate to provide
meals during the meetings. He then stated that members could park in any open spot in the County
parking lot; if locating empty spaces becomes a problem the Legislature Clerk will reserve parking spots.
Mr. Joseph reminded members of a meeting on Friday, September 8th at 10:00 a.m. with Ithaca High
School Superintendent Judith Pastel to review their capital program.
Report from the County Administrator
273
September 5, 2006
Mr. Whicher called attention to the two separate budget notebooks provided to members of the
Legislature and noted they represent one solution to meet the Legislative Directive, which may not be the
best one, and indicated he cannot support the Legislative -Directed proposed budget as being in the best
interest of Tompkins County. He said drastic program reductions were necessary to meet the zero percent
goal set by the Legislature and he had to look for any place to reduce the budget. Mr. Whicher said there
would be an overview of the budget at the first Expanded Budget Committee meeting held tomorrow. He
notes it includes spending up approximately six percent, much paid for with one-time money, and the
fund balance is drawn down too low. Mr. Whicher thanked departments and agencies for their hard work
completed, as well as Administrative staff for compiling the information. Mr. Proto inquired whether the
news relating to a twenty-eight percent savings for the 2008 retirement fund would affect the budget.
Report from the County Attorney
Mr. Wood reported the litigation relating to damage received to one of the Tompkins County
Sheriff's automobiles as a result of an accident has been resolved. The insurance company involved
attempted to shift partial blame to the officer, however, the outcome is that no responsibility was assigned
to the County.
Report from the Finance Director
Mr. Squires reported at the August 14`h meeting of the Budget and Capital Committee he
presented the final copy of the audit. The audit positively indicated the County has a good fund balance,
internal controls are in compliance, and the assets are safeguarded. There will be a formal publication
and notice of the final audit and interested parties may review it on the County website in the near future.
Mr. Squires responded to Mr. Proto's question regarding the 2008 retirement rates. He said that
the 2008 amount is due in February 2008, however, the County normally pays in 2007 to experience a
discount savings. Although there is a reported reduction in the rate he has not yet fully examined the
information. Mr. Squires said most employee contributions are approximately ten percent in 2006, the
2007 billing is approximately 9.2 percent of $26,000,000 in payroll, resulting in an approximate savings
of $300,000. Other areas of payroll for certain divisions such as corrections will have higher contribution
rates, which have not yet been included in his analysis. Mr. Squires said this reduction will not lower the
fringe rate, although it will reduce some pressure on the fringe budget line. Mr. Booth stated that he
assumes the fringe rate for 2007 is greater than 39 percent and asked how much more than this the fringe
rate actually is. Mr. Squires reported the 2005 rate was 40.8 percent and is currently approximately 41
percent, but the insurance rate for 2007 is unknown at this time and may result in an increase. Mr. Booth
spoke of the new requirement for an independent audit committee and requested written direction be
provided to members of this special committee regarding its responsibilities. He expressed concern that if
a formal statement is required there may be the need to have professional assistance for the committee.
Addition of Resolution(s) to the Agenda
It was MOVED by Ms. Herrera, seconded by Mr. Proto, and unanimously adopted by voice vote,

Report from the Health and Human Services Committee
Mr. Proto, Chair, reported the Committee has met twice, first on August 2l'T when several human
service agencies presented information on their programming. He said it was a worthwhile meeting and
all Legislators were provided with the written material as well. Mr. Proto reported the Committee held its
regular meeting earlier in the day and heard from departments and agencies presentations indicating how
the proposed County Administration proposal of Legislative -Directed cuts would affect them, which will
prove useful to new members of the Legislature. At the meeting, Mr. DeLuca, Mental Health
Commissioner, reported that a grant applied for by Lakeview was not received, however, funding in the
amount of $124,000 from the New York State Office of Mental Health was granted for the design work
associated with the 38 single -room -occupancy units to be built. He said originally the County would have
had a total of 40 units, however, with the changed operations at Unity House the number was decreased

.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Facilities and Infrastructure Committee
Mr. Randall, Chair, reported that the Ellis Hollow Road concerns will be placed on the next
agenda of the Committee and he hopes to have the issues resolved and information pertaining to
applicable laws. He reported the Committee met on August 29111 at which time a presentation was
provided with regard to single -stream recycling. Information on the pros and cons of this type of facility
were provided as well as information indicating a potential loss to the County if this option is not
considered. The Committee is planning to learn more about this type of facility by either touring or

NO. 1 WITH C&S ENGINEERS, INC., FOR PHASE II OF AN
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FOR OBSTRUCTION
REMOVAL AND RUNWAY SAFETY AREA IMPROVEMENTS —
ITHACA TOMPKINS REGIONAL AIRPORT
MOVED by Mr. Randall, seconded by Mr. Booth. Mr. Randall noted the reason he did not
support the resolution in Committee is that he feels manual inventory of tree species and size relating to
the obstruction clearance is cost prohibitive, he believes there is a more technological way to determine
the information such as through GIS. A voice vote on the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes — 12;
Noes — 2 (Legislators Hattery and Randall); Excused 1 (Legislator Koplinka-Loehr). RESOLUTION
ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the Legislature, through Resolution No. 127 dated July 5, 2005, approved an

Obstruction Clearance project at the airport, and
WHEREAS, in the process of completing said environmental assessment, the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) required that the airport also address its two non-standard Runway Safety Areas,
and
WHEREAS, bringing the Runway Safety Areas in line with FAA requirements requires changing
the runway configuration which affected the delineation of obstructions at one end of the runway, and
WHEREAS, local stakeholder concern about sensitive areas within the obstruction clearance
project require a change from the original scope of services, and
WHEREAS, the funding of this additional environmental assessment effort for the Runway
Safety Area extension and Sapsucker Woods is as follows:

Supplementary Agreement No. 1 with C&S Engineers, Inc., for an amount not to exceed $59,644 be and
hereby is approved and that the County Administrator is authorized to execute the required documents,

Mr. Shinagawa was excused at this time (7:39 p.m.).
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Planning, Development and Environmental
Quality Committee
Ms. Robertson, Chair, reported the Committee met on August 30th and reviewed the budget of the
Convention and Visitors Bureau, as well as hearing information on budget requests from the Soil and
Water Conservation District and Tompkins County Area Development (TCAD).
It was reported by the Soil and Water Conservation District that Senator Winner's office has
committed $40,000 to buy equipment for the hydroseeding program as a member item. Tompkins County
Area Development reported on the need for an Empire Zone Coordinator position and noted it would
quickly pay for itself. In addition, a special Empire Zone Administration Board relating to the Empire
Zone will be necessary and some names are being brought forward from TCAD; members who may have
a name to suggest are urged to contact Ms. Robertson. The updated draft Economic Development
Strategy was presented to the Committee and the resolution to accept the plan will come before the full
Legislature at the next meeting. She reported that there have been discussions about moving the
Workforce Investment Board staff closer to TCAD, which will result in an additional $116,000 per year
for the next three years. Ms. Robertson reported an update on car -share programs was provided by Mr.
DeAragon of Ithaca -Tompkins County -Transportation Council. This program offers the ability to reduce
costs of company fleets by sharing with other car -share members. She also reported on the difficulties
being faced due to the increased deer populations in municipalities. Some alternatives were provided by a
Department of Environmental Conservation spokesperson. It is hoped that a resolution urging the State to
take action regarding hunting and trapping regulations will be brought through the Committee to the
Legislature. Ms. Robertson reported the next meeting will occur on September 2l'T
RESOLUTION NO. - EXPANDING THE TOMPKINS COUNTY HOMEOWNERSHIP
PROGRAM TO ALLOW PARTICIPANTS TO PURCHASE NEW
HOMES
MOVED by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Mrs. McBean-Clairborne. Ms. Kiefer understood the
intent of the resolution is to provide new construction as well as refurbished homes to limited incomes,
however, she expressed concern that the lack of restrictions implied in number 1 of the tiered options
contradicts the comprehensive plan and the desires listed in the fourth "WHEREAS". She indicated she
could support the resolution if item 1 is eliminated.
It was MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Ms. Mackesey, to delete item 1 listed in the tiered
chart. Ms. Robertson called attention to the memorandum from Ms. Filiberto explaining the program and
the reasons to expand and asked that in Ms. Filiberto's absence Mr. Marx address the concerns.
Mr. Marx noted Ms. Kiefer's concerns were addressed during the process of setting criteria. A
review by the Planning Advisory Board, Homeownership Program, sub -committee on affordable housing,
and program Committee included many questions and the resolution is a result of attempting to balance
goals. He stated the policy is an attempt to encourage rural, suburban, and urban housing in the County
rather than one exclusive area. The option of opening the available market is such that it will not
encourage development in areas considered sprawl but those already intended to be residential and
advertised as such. Ms. Kiefer said she believes developers do not necessarily follow the comprehensive
plan and she does not believe public money should encourage housing in '`the middle of nowhere". Mr.
Marx said the policy will be reviewed, however it is not expected to have many new homes purchased
through the program.
279
September 5, 2006
Ms. Robertson referred to the portion of Ms. Filiberto's memo stating the new homes are ones
already built, and not specifically for the program. In addition, it was noted that few new homes would be
attainable at the ceiling amount of the program ($125,000) but the policy allows for flexibility.
Mr. Sigler said item 3 in the policy requires the homes are in close proximity to water, sewer, and
transportation, which he believes addresses Ms. Kiefer's concerns. Mr. Marx noted they are the criteria
for any project with direct public involvement in a project; the more public involvement there is the
higher the criteria.
Ms. Herrera stated she is a member of the Planning, Development and Environmental Quality
Committee and said a lot of discussion occurred, however, she does not feel the resolution clearly states
the intent of what is being done. She supports the Homeownership Program and is pleased with what it
does. She suggested the resolution be returned to the Committee to rewrite it in a manner that clearly
defines the intent.
Ms. Mackesey referred to Ms. Filiberto's memo that expressed a concern that some developers
may seek low-cost property that generally is in rural areas, could be considered sprawl, and that is
removed from infrastructure, neighborhood services, or major transportation routes. She believes this
confirms the concerns raised by Ms. Kiefer.
Mr. Randall stated that as part of the Committee that developed and reviewed the policy, he does
not believe including new homes is a direction that should be taken. As a contractor, he does not believe
that there is an incentive to build the homes, or upon completion of developing the land and building the
structure it would be made available under the $125,000 cap. Mr. Randall also noted that most of the new
homes he has seen erected are doublewide structures that are excluded from the program.
In response to a question by Mr. Flattery it was noted that approximately twenty grants are
provided per funding cycle and that there is no plan for the County to provide funding to develop homes.
Mr. Marx stated that some of the amendments are being done as a result of conversations with developers
who would like to provide new homes that could be made available through the program.
Mr. Booth believes this is a good idea but should be returned to Committee for clarification. He
stated five items present problems: (1) the policy needs to make it clear that all of the housing is subject
to existing local land use controls; (2) Item 3 should note that the Planning Department does not fund
construction projects, but rather that some public assistance comes through the Planning Department; (3)
also in Item 3, it is not clear what "some other organization" refers to; (4) Item 2, criteria for Approval,
does not set a criteria; and (5) he would like to clarify if the County is barred by federal or state
regulations from considering mobile home purchases for the program. Mr. Marx noted that currently
doublewide and modular homes placed on foundations are allowed for the program, but not a singlewide
mobile home due to depreciation concerns.
It was MOVED by Mr. Booth, seconded by Ms. Mackesey, to refer the resolution to the Planning,
Development and Environmental Quality Committee.
At this time, Mr. Joseph gave permission to Ms. Robertson to withdraw the resolution as
requested.
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Homeownership Program has provided down -payment
assistance to 218 low and moderate income households to help purchase safe, decent housing since 1993,
and
WHEREAS, the number of listings on the market at prices that households with limited incomes
can afford to purchase has decreased dramatically as housing prices have increased over the past several
years and as a result, program participants are very limited in their choices of available housing units, and
280
September 5, 2006
WHEREAS, expanding the program to include new home purchases could ease the impediments
in the tight real estate market, and
WHEREAS, expanding the program to include new home purchases supports the goals of the
County's Comprehensive Plan outlined in the housing section, which include promoting choice in
location and type of housing, increasing homeownership, and promoting opportunities for people who
work in Tompkins County to live in the County, and
WHEREAS, expanding the program to include new home purchases should also support other
goals of County's Comprehensive Plan such as encouraging development that preserves open space and
valuable agricultural land, increasing housing density near job centers, encouraging infill development in
existing town centers, and maximizing the efficient use of public infrastructure, and
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Planning Advisory Board Housing Subcommittee and the
Homeownership Program Oversight Committee approved the recommended program modifications, now
therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Planning, Development, and Environmental Quality
Committee, That Tompkins County is hereby expanding the Tompkins County Homeownership Program
to allow participants to purchase new housing using the following tiered approach:
New Construction Type
Criteria for Approval
1.

open market.
- No restrictions on location.

organization.
- Project must be presented to the Homeownership
Oversight Committee for approval.
- Parcel must be 1/2 acre or less in size.
- Home must be connected to public or community

RESOLUTION NO. 155 - PROGRAM RECONFIGURATION - PLANNING AND DISTRICT
ATTORNEY — STOP -DWI PROGRAM
MOVED by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Ms. Herrera.
It was MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Mr. Booth, to offer the following substitute
resolution. Ms. Kiefer felt it is useful to have the context included in the resolution as it explains the
coordinator has been in the Planning Department. She also said it is logical that it be noted that the
coordinator is more logically placed where there is an appropriate relationship to the program. Ms.
Robertson noted the second "Whereas" is inaccurate as it does not include all departments that could
possibly be associated with the program. She noted also that the Committee considered Ms. Kiefer's
amendments but passed the original wording.
A voice vote on the motion to substitute resulted as follows: Ayes — 5 (Legislators Booth, Kiefer,
Proto, Sigler, and Stevenson); Noes — 8 (Legislators Dennis, Hattery, Herrera, Joseph, Mackesey,
281
September 5, 2006
McBean-Clairborne, Randall, and Robertson); Excused — 2 (Legislators Koplinka-Loehr and Shinagawa).
MOTION FAILED.
WHEREAS, the appointment of a Special Traffic Options Program (STOP -DWI) Coordinator
has, for the past three years, been a function of the Planning Department and is subject to confirmation by
the Tompkins County Legislature, and
WHEREAS, the STOP -DWI Program carries a strong relationship with activities in the public
safety and addiction treatment areas and is more logical to have this STOP -DWI Coordinator in one of
these County departments, and
WHEREAS, the collaboration between STOP -DWI and the Office of the District Attorney would
be enhanced by assigning the STOP -DWI program to the Office of the District Attorney, now therefore
be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Planning, Development and Environmental Quality, the
Public Safety, and the Budget and Capital Committees, That effective January 1, 2007, the Special Traffic
Options Program be a program within the Office of the District Attorney,
RESOLVED, further, That administrative oversight be the responsibility of the District Attorney,
RESOLVED, further, That pursuant to State Law, funds will continue to be isolated in their own
program account, not to be commingled with funding for the Office of the District Attorney.

Report from the Personnel Committee
Mr. Dennis, Chair, said the Committee will meet next on September 13`x'.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Government Operations Committee
Ms. Herrera, Chair, reported the Committee met on August 16th and will meet again on
September 20`". She indicated the work of the Committee is reflected in the resolutions presented and the
resolution withdrawn at this time. In addition, the Committee was given a presentation of the library
budget that was helpful in understanding some of the details of the cost increases and priority requests for
2007, and the over -target requests. The Committee reviewed the County parking lot rules and a
resolution that designates the responsibility of assignment of parking lot spaces to the Commissioner of
282
September 5, 2006
Personnel. The next meeting will be on September 20th and will discuss the Rules of the Legislature such
as determining how a conflict of interest is decided.
RESOLUTION NO. 156 AUTHORIZING THE COMMISSIONER OF PERSONNEL TO
DESIGNATE AND ESTABLISH RULES FOR PARKING FOR
THE COURTHOUSE AND HUMAN SERVICES BUILDING
COMPLEX AND RESCISSION OF RESOLUTION NO. 344 OF
1998
MOVED by Ms. Herrera, seconded by Mr. Sigler. Mr. Proto asked for clarification of the
assignment of the Commissioner of Personnel as it relates to making policy. Ms. Herrera provided a brief
history of recent issues relating to State and County employee parking assignments and the need for
flexibility in making decisions due to a variety of needs such as construction, increase in number of
spaces required by the State, etc. She noted that in the past the Commissioner of Personnel has
successfully negotiated with the State regarding parking, which could have resulted in a greater loss of
parking spots for County employees. It was noted the Commissioner of Personnel has agreed to work in
the capacity directed within the resolution. Mr. Dennis noted the task of assigning parking is arduous and
commends the Commissioner of Personnel for taking on the task.
It was MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Ms. Mackesey, to offer the following substitution to
the resolution. The substitute resolution provides historical information Ms. Kiefer feels is important to
retain when rescinding the previous resolution. She noted the importance of stating it is not a County
policy to provide parking, that specific rules should exist, and that there be flexibility built into the plan.
She also stated the second resolved were items thought important in the original resolution such as a
space for the Sheriff's car; continuance of the existing number of State parking spaces, though the number
may need to increase in the future; provision for parking for elected officials such as the County Clerk,
District Attorney, and Legislators. Ms. Kiefer suggested that twelve spaces be allocated to the elected
officials, double-parking for State vehicles, parking for County fleet vehicles; the ability for the Clerk of
the Legislature to request that additional spaces be made available, and a meaningful enforcement of the
rules established.
Ms. Herrera indicated the original resolution was prepared to simplify the process and in no way
was meant to negate the work of the previous committee. She said the amendments to the original
resolution would provide the ability to reflect present practices; she feels that the items noted by Ms.
Kiefer certainly could be discussed, however, Ms. Herrera feels some could be very controversial and
could be disagreeable with bargaining units if passed.
Mr. Joseph strongly urged passage of the original resolution, stating it is an administrative duty.
He personally does not agree with the Legislature playing a part in assigning parking.
Mr. Booth said if the number of parking spots assigned to the Legislature were amended the
balance of the list is useful as a tool and asked if it is possible to use it. Mr. Whicher stated that the list
could be useful; however, the previous resolution created controversy when the Legislature assigned
reserved parking without stakeholder presence.
Mr. Joseph also agreed that it is the one item that is objectionable; however, if the list were
stating to take into consideration the items, he would be okay with that. He expressed concern that a
resolution has the ability to set policy and not allow flexibility. He said the Commissioner of Personnel is
aware of these items of concern and has worked with flexibility to resolve parking issues.
Ms. Herrera spoke of recent events when it became known that parking would have to be
modified due to installation of a generator; and the problem was addressed by the Commissioner. She
283
September 5, 2006
feels that the flexibility is very important, should not have to wait for the process of going through
Committee and the Legislature, and cannot be limited to the items on the list.
It was MOVED by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Mr. Stevenson to call the question. A voice vote
on the motion resulted as follows: Ayes — 11; Noes — 2 (Legislators Kiefer and Proto); Excused — 2
(Legislators Koplinka-Loehr and Shinagawa). MOTION APPROVED.
A voice vote on the substitute resolution resulted as follows: Ayes — 2 (Legislators Kiefer and
Proto); Noes — 11; Excused — 2 (Legislators Koplinka-Loehr and Shinagawa). RESOLUTION FAILED.

Privilege of the Floor by the Public
Ralph Jones, City of Ithaca resident, spoke in support of Lifelong. He serves on the Lifelong
Board of Directors and the fundraising committee for that agency, and stressed how important the
activities provided by Lifelong are to him and other seniors in Tompkins County. He stated there is a
growing awareness of the value of allowing people to continue to live in their homes and the
interconnection of regular wholesome activities for senior citizens in maintaining their residence in the
County.
Ms. Herrera arrived at 5:37 p.m.
Louise Shedden spoke in support of Lifelong and its activities. She spoke of many services and
her personal experience with the Agency. She also said Lifelong has a very able staff that provides
quality activities.
Ron Provis, County resident and owner of CBord Group, spoke in support of the Human Services
Coalition. He stated the Human Services Coalition is the umbrella agency for many of the not-for-profit
human services agencies within the County. Mr. Provis also serves on the Human Services Coalition
Review Committee, which reviews the needs and requests of those agencies.
Howard London, Town of Lansing resident, spoke in support of continued funding for Lifelong.
Mr. London serves as a volunteer for the Tax Assistance Program (tax counseling for low income,
disabled, and elderly). He said they rely on Lifelong and RSVP for support and resources, including
administrative support and liaison services to the Internal Revenue Service. They serviced approximately
1,000 taxpayers last year from that population who received approximately $650,000 in refunds. During
the tax season they have four open weekly walk-in sessions. They also provide services to Challenge
Industries and other agencies serving individuals with disabilities. They do a number of home visits to
assist with tax return preparation for those who are not able to leave their homes. Mr. London said this is
a much-needed service for the community and urged the Legislature to continue funding Lifelong.
287
September 19, 2006
Marge Dill, Town of Lansing resident and former Director of the Human Services Coalition,
urged the Legislature not to be ``penny wise and pound foolish". She said the Human Services Coalition
programs have many volunteers attached to those programs that are extremely important and would like
the Legislature to continue providing the same level of support. She spoke of the many human services
that bring funds into Tompkins County and into individual's pockets for prescriptions that they otherwise
couldn't get.
Nels Bohn, Director of Community Development for the Ithaca Urban Renewal Agency and a
City of Ithaca resident, spoke in opposition to the proposed reduction in funding to the Human Services
Coalition. He spoke of the housing and the information and referral functions that the Coalition provides
and said that agency's work plays a vital role in many activities of the Ithaca Urban Renewal Agency.
John Bosak, Town of Ithaca, spoke on behalf of T.C. Local concerning long-term
economic development. T.C. Local is a group of concerned citizens working to plan for the County's
future in an era of decreasing fossil -fuel resources. He read the following statement:
"Energy analysts and petroleum geologists are agreed that world oil and natural gas production
will reach a peak within the next two decades and then begin an irreversible decline. A few experts
believe that this peak has already arrived; conservative estimates put the peak of production at somewhere
around the year 2020. No credible analysis sees world oil and gas production continuing to increase past
2030. The combination of falling global oil production and ever-increasing demand will result in
astronomically high-energy prices. One recent conservative estimate used for urban planning in Canada
put the price of gasoline in 2018 at about four times its cost today. Recent discoveries in the Gulf of
Mexico will have a negligible effect on this increase in prices and the development of alternative sources
of energy cannot occur quickly enough to have any meaningful impact on its economic effect. The ever
increasing rise in prices following the peak of world oil and gas production will have a devastating impact
on the world economy, including the U.S. economy. The effects are hard to predict in detail but overall
we are looking at something that will resemble the great depression, only it will be worse and it will last
longer.
"TC Local is researching ways the County can meet this challenge, particularly in the areas of
food production and distribution, transportation, and heating. Obviously this research goes far beyond
what I can describe today. We would be delighted to give the Legislature an in-depth briefing at any time
that would be convenient.
`'For today I would like to say that it is essential for the future well-being of County residents that
the Legislature take the likely effects of energy descent into account when planning for the County's
economic development."
Joan Adler, Town of Enfield resident, spoke in support of reinstatement of funding for the Ithaca
Breast Cancer Alliance. Ms. Adler said she was one of the founders of the Alliance approximately 12
years ago that provides services to both women and men. She spoke of the many resources the Alliance
provides to individuals who have been diagnosed with cancer and provided specific examples of how
those services have helped people.
Shawn Galbreath, Executive Director of the Ithaca Breast Cancer Alliance (IBCA) and Tompkins
County resident, thanked the Legislature for the funds that were provided to the Alliance last year. She
said as of September 12 the State of New York has officially changed their articles of incorporation so
that IBCA now serves individuals who have been diagnosed with breast cancer or gynecological cancer.
Ms. Galbreath urged the Legislature to restore funding to the Alliance so that they can serve and support
people who come to them with those cancers. She spoke of upcoming grants and stated they will be
doing aggressive outreach into local communities of people who are traditionally uninsured or
underinsured.
Distinguished Youth Award
288
September 19, 2006
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, District No. 11 Legislator, presented the September, 2006, Distinguished
Youth Award to 12 -year-old Tessa Friedeborn, a student at Ithaca's Lehman Alternative School. As a
cast member for the Hangar Theatre's production, `'The Wiz", she raised $3,500 in donations for the Red
Cross to assist Hurricane Katrina victims from patrons attending five nights of performances, days after
the hurricane hit.
Privilege of the Floor by Legislators
Ms. Robertson, District No. 13 Legislator, announced the Scenic Resources Inventory Open
House will be held on September 27 at the Women's Community Building. She said people can vote up
until October 2nd on Tompkins County's most scenic views. Ms. Robertson responded to an editorial
that appeared in today's Ithaca Journal with regard to the 2007 budget and stated the article referring to
last year's election, the article stated that many of the six new Legislators who were elected to office ran
on a platform to hold down County spending and taxes. She noted that five of those seats were filled by
new legislators because the previous legislator retired. She also noted that eight of the current Legislators
were re-elected or unopposed in the last election.
Mr. Dennis, District No. 15 Legislator, spoke of gas prices and stated that gasoline prices in
Tompkins County are significantly higher than surrounding areas. He urged the public to contact elected
State representatives to let them know about this.
Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Legislator, expressed concern over the high price of gasoline in
Tompkins County and said he agreed with comments made by Mr. Dennis. He said earlier this year a
resolution was drafted regarding ethanol and supporting alternate fuel review. That resolution was taken
to the Agricultural and Farmland Protection Board and will be forwarded to the State. The Environmental
Management Council is also reviewing this resolution and considering adopting a similar one.
Mr. Shinagawa, District No. 4 Legislator, announced the Worker's Center, along with the
U.A.W., the S.C.I.U. and the Cornell Organization for Labor Action and many other community partners
are organizing a series of rallies around the Gubernatorial debates on September 26'h. It will begin on the
Commons with music and speakers and will move to Cornell where they will join a contingent of
community leaders and Cornell students. He said they will be pushing the Gubernatorial candidates to
take a stand and discuss their plans for implementing a universal single -payer health care system in the
State of New York. He said they also hope to have a question posed to the candidates during the debate
on that subject.
Ms. Herrera, District No. 5 Legislator, announced September is Latino Heritage Month. She said
the Latino Civic Association of Tompkins County has organized activities that are posted on the
Association's website: www.latinocivicassociationtc.org. She noted that many cultural activities are
supported by Room Tax funds.
Chair's Report
Mr. Joseph reported he sent all Legislators a memorandum regarding a letter he received from
Judith Jacobs, a Nassau County Legislator. The subject of the letter was approaching the State about a
cigarette tax for counties. He urged Legislators who have not yet done so, to let him know their thoughts
on this.
Mr. Joseph said a copy of letters submitted to the Legislature with regard to the 2007 budget are
filed with the Clerk of the Legislature and may be viewed by Legislators at any time.
Mr. Joseph provided the Legislature with an update on the Tompkins County Council of
Governments. At this time there are only three municipalities who have not yet joined the Council:
289
September 19, 2006
Towns of Newfield and Danby, and the Village of Lansing. He said they are hopeful those municipalities
will be coming on board to be members of that organization. He said they have been meeting for a couple
of years as the Intermunicipal Cooperation group; however, they decided to form a more formal Council
to assist in improving attendance by members of that body as well as having a better avenue for
communication. That meeting was held; the next meeting will be September 28th at 3 p.m. when a Chair
will be elected.
Report from a Municipal Official
Maria Coles, City of Ithaca Common Council Member, said she has been reporting to the
Common Council about the cost of the Iraq war, including the human cost. She said cuts from the federal
government are passed along to the local communities and then the service providers of many programs
plead with the County for funding. She said to date, the United States has expended $360 billion on the
Iraq war; Tompkins County's share of that is $124 million; the City of Ithaca's share is $22 million. Ms.
Coles said there are varied estimates as to the number of Iraq deaths from 42,000 to 100,000 or higher.
There are 2,687 dead young American people; 118 deaths of Ukranians, and 115 deaths from other
countries. She said there are over 19,910 young Americans who are wounded, most severely.
Ms. Coles said the Mayor is presently assembling the budget and is consulting with the Controller
and department heads during the month of October. There will be meetings on the budget and public
hearings will be held on October 16, 19, and 25th. She said the rules governing the budget meetings have
been restructured and they will be reviewing that process.
Ms. Coles said the Mayor and other members of Common Council are attempting to refocus the
group that was working on the possible renaming of State Street to Dr. Martin Luther King Street. The
final meeting of the working group that had been trying to resolve what to do about the City's potable is
almost ready to present the City its report, which includes two alternatives: to rebuild the City's water
plant or to purchase water from Bolton Point. Either option is extremely costly. She noted federal
funding is no longer available for water treatment plants.
Report from the County Administrator
Mr. Whicher spoke of gasoline prices and stated Tompkins County used to follow very closely to
the national average but is now consistently approximately ten cents above.
He said he provided all Legislators a copy of a summary of the SWN (Statewide Wireless
Network) financing.
Mr. Whicher spoke of the temperature in the Legislature Chambers and said they are continuing
to work on the system and are beginning the balancing process. He asked that everyone be patient while
this work continues.
Report from the County Attorney
Mr. Wood had no report.
Report from the Finance Director
Mr. Squires reported he received an e-mail from a resident who was concerned about the high
gasoline prices. He said the only nearby county that removed the sales tax on gasoline was Cayuga
County. He said Mike Connors of Albany County has a website that is devoted to this issue.

September 19, 2006
Report from the Public Information Officer
Ms. Lynch reported on the community public budget forum that will be held September 21st at 7
p.m. at the Greater Ithaca Activities Center. She invited everyone to attend to learn, discuss, and let their
feelings known about the budget. She spoke of the format that will be used for the forum. Mr. Koplinka-
Loehr proposed that the format begin with open microphone and if time permits, to split into small groups
for dialogue.
Mr. Proto asked that there be a written record of the forum that capsulizes the comments that are
made by the public.
Addition of Resolution(s) to the Agenda
On motion and duly seconded and unanimously adopted by voice vote, the following
resolution(s) were added to the agenda:
Ratification of Bargaining agreement for the Civil and Non -Interest Arbitrable issues Between
Tompkins County, Tompkins County Sheriff, and the Employees' Union of the Tompkins
County Sheriff's Department;
Amendment to Resolution No. 294 of 2003 for Federal 5311 and New York State Transportation
Funding for a Capital Project to Purchase Four Busses and Ancillary Transit Equipment for
Rural TCAT Routes
Withdrawal of Resolution(s) from the Agenda
There were no resolutions withdrawn from the agenda.
Consent Agenda
There were no items approved under the Consent Agenda.
Report from the Facilities and Infrastructure Committee
Ms. Kiefer, Vice Chair, reported the Committee met on September 12 and heard a report on many
items, included the following:
There is no Over Target request from the Highway Division because of the Motor Vehicle Use
Fee, which provides dedicated revenue; the Facilities Division has an Over Target request for $400,000 to
cover deferred and ongoing maintenance with buildings and equipment;
The Health Department Capital project was discussed; there is $250,000 in the 2007 budget for
design; the Committee agreed that Mr. Marx should pursue updated information on potential sites and
that eventually the information should be made available for municipal and public input;
Don Ellis, Director of Weights and Measures, reported all of his work for this year is on schedule
and that all fees he currently charges are at the maximum allowable levels. He also spoke about scanner
accuracy. A draft law was passed by both Senate and Assembly Committees and may be making its way
through the Legislature in the near future;
Bill Sczesny, Highway Manager, reported on the status of road ownership discussions that have
been taking place and the possible transfers between the towns and the County. There are two draft
memorandums of understanding being circulated, with the Town of Ithaca and the Town of Ulysses;
The Committee listened to comments from the public on the Ellis Hollow Road project, which is
in its early design phase.
There was discussion and information shared by Ms. Kiefer on single -stream recycling.
291
September 19, 2006
Ms. Herrera and Mr. Shinagawa spoke in favor of proceeding with examination of single -stream
recycling.
Mr. Proto spoke of the "swapping of roads" and stated the Towns of Caroline and Danby are
interested in similar arrangements and asked what the protocol would be for them proceeding. Ms. Kiefer
said Mr. Sczesny will be contacting all highway superintendents.
Mr. Hattery said he received input from a resident with regard to Coddington Road. The resident
informed him that final design didn't reflect the input that was provided by the public on the project. Ms.
Kiefer said there is not a final design for that road at this time. Mr. Wood said he received a letter from
an attorney who resides on Coddington Road; he said there is no final design and as part of the process a
right-of-way plan is produced and reviewed by residents; therefore, it is premature to be talking about
final design. Mr. Wood said his general understanding from the preliminary design is that almost all of
the roadwork will be done within the current use and most of what is being talked about being done out of
the current use is grading, which would be a benefit for landowners.
Mr. Joseph spoke of Coddington Road and said the County is constrained by the requirements of
State and Federal funding in what is being done on that road. He said when the Highway Division first
put out a proposed design they had already gone to the State with something that was already
substantially less than State standards and received approval to do something smaller than normal. That
was what was presented to the residents, many of whom said they wanted the road even smaller. Mr.
Joseph said the Highway went back to the State with another proposal but it was rejected. He said it is
true that the Highway Division's next design did not reflect the requests of the residents. He said this
does not mean the residents who spoke on this were not heard. Mr. Booth said the County needs to
consider many other factors as well as the comments from residents who live along the road.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Planning, Development and Environmental
Quality Committee
Ms. Robertson, Chair, reported the Committee has not met since the last Legislature meeting.
The next meeting will be September 21 at 3 p.m. At that meeting the Committee will set up the Local
Empire Zone Administration Board. She asked anyone who would like to suggest someone to serve on
that board to do so before that meeting. Mr. Proto expressed concern over the short amount of time for
members to solicit names for this board. Ms. Robertson said Martha Armstrong of Tompkins County
Area Development has communicated that there is an urgency in setting up this board and making it
functional but stated that additional appointments can be made at a later time.
RESOLUTION NO. 158 — ACCEPTING AND COMMITTING TO IMPLEMENTATION OF
THE 2006 TOMPKINS COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
STRATEGY (Postponed to October 3, 2006, and adopted)
MOVED by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Ms. Herrera.
Ms. Kiefer said she supports the mission and vision statement and certainly has no objection to
the focus on housing, workforce, and revitalization of commercial districts but was startled by the lack of
any discussion on the stress that energy shortages will be bringing to people.
It was MOVED Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Ms. Mackesey, to amend the resolution by adding the
following paragraphs:
WHEREAS, global as well as U.S. oil reserves are not only finite but are at or near the time when
production of oil has peaked and can only decline, a concept known as "peak oil", and this will have a
292
September 19, 2006
profound effect on virtually all aspects of our lives, since oil and gas in various forms are used not only to
power cars, trucks, planes, and electricity -generating plants and to heat buildings, but also as feedstocks
for chemicals, pesticides, fertilizers, medicines, and plastics, and the recognition of peak oil calls for a
further look at our local Economic Development Strategy, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, further, That as part of fulfilling the Economic Development mission of cultivating
"a prosperous and sustainable regional economy", the Tompkins County Legislature calls on TCAD and
its collaborators to recognize the need to grapple with how best to respond to peak oil locally, and, in
addition to the three goals enumerated in the Economic Development Strategy, to also focus on ways to
help our local economy incorporate renewable energy, remain healthy in the face of the ``peak -oil"
economic challenge, and move in the direction of being able to provide us locally with needed goods and
services.
A voice vote on the amendment resulted as follows: Ayes — 14, Noes — 1 (Legislator Hattery).
AMENDMENT CARRIED.
Mr. Booth said he hopes in the future these documents will stress how the County could take
greater advantage of and contribute to the County's leading industry — education.
Mr. Hattery said he is not in favor of approving this because he feels it contains a lack of concrete
strategy and is uncomfortable turning it over to a collaborative that doesn't return a strategy development
on things like increasing a diverse housing supply and how that may lead to market-oriented strategies or
public subsidy oriented strategies, one of which he would oppose, the other he would support. He said
his opposition to this resolution is in part to the implementation piece and lack of detail about strategy.
Mr. Proto said he does not feel the Economic Development Strategy is ready for approval by the
Legislature. He expressed concern because the Planning Committee of the Legislature has never
received an update on what the status of the goals is, what the outcomes have been, and if anything has
been achieved or not achieved. Mr. Proto said he feels the Strategy falls short in the areas of education
and agriculture. He stated he would like to see how well the County did on the first document before
embarking on another set of goals.
Ms. Herrera spoke in support of the Economic Development Strategy and said economic
development in Tompkins County stands head and shoulders above those around it. She said at every
meeting TCAD (Tompkins County Area Development) provides the Committee with a summary of their
activities to date. She agreed with Mr. Proto in that a look should be taken at implementation continually;
however, she strongly supports taking action on this resolution this evening.
Ms. Robertson said Martha Armstrong reported that they found the previous Economic
Development Strategy to be too specific and very constraining. Some of the items that were felt to be
very important in 1999 weren't at the same place on the priority list in 2001. Ms. Robertson said the
purpose of this is to create a working group that would be committed to broad goals that would direct
their specific resources in collaboration with other organizations.
It was MOVED by Mr. Proto, seconded by Mr. Sigler, to Postpone action on this resolution to the
October 3, 2006 Legislature meeting.
Ms. Robertson said she would arrange for a presentation to be held at the October 3 Legislature
meeting. Ms. Mackesey said she does not object to postponing this resolution if members have
questions. Ms. Kiefer said she would like a clear explanation as to why the format is the way it is
currently as opposed to the previous Economic Development Strategy, and agrees with Mr. Proto that the
full Legislature needs a real status report on the items in the first Economic Development Strategy.
293
September 19, 2006
A voice vote on the motion to postpone the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes — 9 (Legislators
Booth, Dennis, Flattery, Kiefer, Mackesey, Proto, Randall, Sigler, and Stevenson); Noes — 6 (Legislators
Herrera, Joseph, Koplinka-Loehr, McBean-Clairborne, Robertson, and Shinagawa). MOTION TO

Area Development (TCAD) with the preparation of an Economic Development Strategy to guide
countywide activities related to economic development and provide an agenda for positive action, and

accepted by the County Board of Representatives in July, 1999, and

expanding opportunities, and fully engaging the community in ways that reflect the community's
strengths and values", and
WHEREAS, while further discussion, analysis, and action will be needed to achieve
implementation of the Three Five -Year Goals, a strategy document has been developed that offers a
sound approach to economic development and will serve as the basis for continuing discussion by the
Legislature and the community, and
WHEREAS, Tompkins County has adopted a Comprehensive Plan and has a record of taking a
comprehensive approach to economic development and fostering collaboration to achieve planning and
development goals, and
WHEREAS, global as well as U.S. oil reserves are not only finite but are at or near the time when
production of oil has peaked and can only decline, a concept known as "peak oil", and this will have a
profound effect on virtually all aspects of our lives, since oil and gas in various forms are used not only to
power cars, trucks, planes, and electricity -generating plants and to heat buildings, but also as feedstocks
for chemicals, pesticides, fertilizers, medicines, and plastics, and the recognition of peak oil calls for a
further look at our local Economic Development Strategy, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Planning Development and Environmental Quality
Committee, That the Tompkins County Legislature hereby accepts the 2006 Economic Development
Strategy for Tompkins County, dated July 18, 2006, as a guide to continuing and future economic
development initiatives and activities intended to benefit all residents of Tompkins County in the years to

Privilege of the Floor by the Public
Natasha Tall, City of Ithaca, thanked the County for Lifelong's program funding, noting the value
of the many programs offered to seniors, particularly those who have lost spouses.
Harriet London, Town of Lansing, spoke on behalf of the Community Dispute Resolution Center
(CDRC). She spoke of how the agency provides the ability to talk through conflict, listen, and in doing
sobecome clearer on how to effectively deal with conflict.
David Neal, Groton, spoke in behalf of CDRC, whose services his family recently used in dealing
with a necessary relocation of an aging parent. CDRC provided the ability to address difficult topics and
have a positive outcome.
Judith Saul, City of Ithaca, Director of the Community Dispute Resolution Center, spoke of the
financial savings provided to the County as a result of the agency. She referred to the written material
provided that indicated over 1,000 County residents were assisted, 35 volunteer mediators received
almost 200 hours of training, and 322 hours of mediation services were provided. Each municipality was
served. with over sixty percent of those served residing outside the City, and fifty percent of those served
had an annual income of less than $16,000. Ms. Saul spoke of mediation being a preventive service,
assisting in such things as a noise problem, saving the Sheriff's Department from having to respond to a
complaint; assist with elders, such as described by the Neals, saving nursing home expenses; preventing
evictions, which uses Sheriff Department personnel and places yet another individual or family in the
position of being homeless; working with parents and teens, preventing a runaway or Persons in Need of
Supervision (PINS) filing. In addition, Ms. Saul noted that County funds are matched with State funding.
Barbara Coleman, Slaterville Springs, spoke in support of the Women's Opportunity Center,
sharing her personal experience with the agency. Ms. Coleman stated that she has been taking
coursework to provide her with a diploma and the skills necessary to be removed from Social Security
Disability and become a productive resident of the County.
Dammi Herath, Executive Director of the Women's Opportunity Center, spoke of the value of
continued funding to the agency. She spoke of the Agency's purpose in assisting women and low-
income families to find gainful employment and assist with the financial information to enable them to be
removed from the public assistance programs. She indicated that for every $40 of County funding, $60 is
received from TANF funding. Ms. Herath spoke of the leverage provided by the County funds and
300
October 3, 2006
requested it be maintained. She spoke of the ways service is provided, noting that if it is a gas card, bus
fare, new tire to replace a blown tire, etc., every attempt is made to remove barriers to gainful
employment. Ms. Herath stated clients are followed for 90 days following job placement to continue to
provide guidance and support to enable the job to be maintained.
Linda Johanson, City of Ithaca, Chair of the Board for the Women's Opportunity Center spoke in
support of continued funding. She spoke of her fourteen -year history and noted that throughout many
changes in funding streams the agency has consistently offered unique services to provide financial
independence for hundreds of individuals.
Thomas Weiler, Town of Ithaca, spoke in support of the Tompkins Learning Partners. He is an
eight-year volunteer for the program, assisting individuals to learn computer skills and prepare to obtain a
high school degree. He believes it provides a great deal of support on a very small budget and has shown
itself to be successful in assisting residents of the community.
Rob Ainslie, Ithaca, a volunteer at Tompkins Learning Partners requested support of the funding
requested. He noted the agency has been providing assistance to residents in the County for twenty-five
years. At present, there is a waiting list of 30 students. Students learn how to read, write, perform
mathematical functions, and are often the hardest students to teach. He noted they are the only agency
that works with students whose reading ability is below a fifth -grade level. He spoke of the ability for
these individuals to obtain self-sustaining employment through the training and asks that support
continue.
Gregg Thomas, Newfield, Managing Attorney, spoke in support of Neighborhood Legal Services
(NLS), a branch office of Legal Assistance of Western New York. He has been with the program for
thirty years. He indicated local funding provides services for the residents of the County, at present, the
County -provided portion comprises 19 percent of total Tompkins County funding; with the Office for the
Aging contractual services and United Way funding a total of 25 percent of NLS' budget is local funding.
In addition, this funding leverages two Americorps full-time paralegals who assist with intake, outreach,
and some cases. He noted their work saves County money, and spoke of SSI and disability cases,
providing reimbursement for those who received Safety Net assistance, as well as shifting funding from
the State to Federal level for Medicaid. Last year $157,151 was obtained by clientele, which adds to the
local community.
Paul Mazzarella, Executive Director of Ithaca Neighborhood Housing Services (INHS), spoke of
the requested funding for the program, noting it would support all their programs that provide affordable
homeownership, rental opportunities, home repair and energy conservation assistance, and financial
literacy education to individuals in the County. He said there is a recognized need for affordable housing
and discussions this year have been brought to the forefront. He referred to the County study that
recognized the need and requested that the funding be provided, as well as the projects INNS has
undertaken in the community.
Terrie Mayu, City of Ithaca, spoke in support of funding for the Women's Opportunity Center
and the holistic approach utilized by them to assist her in becoming self-sustaining following a divorce
and medical difficulties. She praised the agency for their ability to provide her with the specialized
services needed to succeed.
Angela Brown, City of Ithaca, spoke in support of the Women's Opportunity Center, and shared
her experience of seeking employment following a divorce and stated Women's Opportunity center was
an integral piece of the success she has had. Ms. Brown noted she is now working as an employment
advisor at Challenge Services, giving back to the community. She agreed with Ms. Mayu that the holistic
approach was important to this success.
301
October 3, 2006
Fay Gougakis, City of Ithaca, stated she has used most of the agencies mentioned this evening
and that they are all good. She suggested sending correspondence to Senators Clinton and Schumer to
stop the war in Iraq, which she believes is partially the cause for the present financial difficulties. Ms.
Gougakis then spoke about the use of cellular telephones in the Library. She stated library users are still
continuing to receive and make calls, contrary to the rules of the Library.
Proclamation(s) Continued
Chair Joseph stated that members of 4-H were present to receive the proclamation presented
earlier. He read the proclamation, which was accepted by Amanda Darling and Marie Roenke.
Privilege of the Floor for Legislators
Ms. Mackesey, District No. 1 Legislator, thanked the individuals who spoke under Privilege of
the Floor, noting her appreciation of the individuals who have used services sharing their information.
She then announced Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit (TCAT) has a youth pass available at a cost of
$30 per month; this provides access to the entire system. She believes encouraging the youth to ride
busses is worthwhile.
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne, District No. 2 Legislator, announced she is the United Way
spokesperson for the Legislature, and hopes that all will contribute to help many the agencies within the
County that assist residents. She read a letter that will be provided to employees encouraging continued
support of the United Way.
Presentation — Economic Development Strategy
Martha Armstrong, of Tompkins County Area Development (TCAD), reviewed the Economic
Development Strategy prepared and noted the first one dates from 1997 and has now been revised. The
1997 Economic Development Strategy had 58 action steps to be completed. Of these, some major steps
were: The Intermunicipal Agreement for Water and Sewer, increased air service, Comprehensive Plan
addressing resource planning, and the establishment of Workforce New York Career Center.
Ms. Armstrong indicated that the new Economic Development (ED) Strategy is a collaborative
effort of many different agencies, municipalities, and businesspeople who meet quarterly to review the
Economic Development Strategy, and how it affected the players. These individuals have assisted in the
development of the new Strategy that began in 2003. As many of those organizations were in the process
of developing their own comprehensive plans it was decided to wait until 2005 to revise the present
Economic Development Strategy. The new approach is different than the previous version, without
individual steps to take. The new strategy provides agencies the ability to carry the goals forward, and
respond to changes in the economic environment to accomplish their missions effectively. Having an
economic development collaborative, provides a depth of support necessary for the various levels of
commitment that each group can provide. This provides a comprehensive identification of what goals and
action are necessary to keep the local economy healthy.
Ms. Armstrong noted the ED strategy includes three area clearly identified areas of focus:
affordable housing within the County, revitalization of community centers throughout the County, and
workforce and/or entrepreneurial skills are over -arching issues that may require more than one agency. In
the example used, agencies such as Ithaca Neighborhood Housing Services and Better Housing for
Tompkins County would be asked to assist as well as developers, being creative in funding, and be
creative while working together with many municipalities.
Ms. Armstrong noted that Cornell University has been an integral partner in the development of
the Economic Development Strategy, with the end product resonating with the University. In addition,
302
October 3, 2006
the amendment suggested by the Legislature relative to energy has undergone review by members who
developed the Economic Development Strategy, and they feel it is possible to work the recommendation
into the overall plan.
Mr. Sigler stated it appears the recommendations made for the Economic Development Strategy
are already being implemented and asked what the purpose of the resolution would be. Ms. Armstrong
said the passage provides the ability to reaffirm the commitment and outreach among participants.
Mr. Proto noted he was very impressed with the summary. He noted that there are seven new
Legislators who will benefit from the summary provided. He then inquired how TCAD obtains follow-up
information on agencies and municipalities. Ms. Armstrong indicated the quarterly meetings provide
necessary updates to determine how the agencies/municipalities are proceeding. Mr. Proto expressed
concern regarding the agricultural piece within the Strategy and asked if it is anticipated that Cooperative
Extension would be completing this work. Ms. Armstrong noted that funding was not available for an
Economic Specialist to work with agriculture. Mr. Proto indicated he feels that the Agriculture and
Farmland Protection Board's resolution coming forward regarding the use of alternative fuels in
agriculture, should be able to be worked into the Strategy. Ms. Armstrong noted that Mr. Schlather,
Executive Director of Cornell Cooperative Extension, would most likely bring it forward if it would work
into the comprehensive plan. In response to a question from Mr. Proto, Ms. Armstrong noted no further
Legislature involvement would be required, however she felt if there were changes to guidelines it would
be brought back for discussion and review.
Mr. Booth corrected the reference to Cornell University, stating he indicated that it was
unrealistic to develop an economic development strategy that does not encompass the largest single
employment sector, which in this case would be higher education. He stated that two elements that need
to be considered are: (1) how can local or County government facilitate those institutions to fulfill their
mission, and (2) how can the residents of Tompkins County take better advantage of the size and
opportunities of this sector of the community. With regard to developing a twenty-year strategy for
housing, he noted that historically there is a lot of resistance from municipal governments to having
County government getting involved in decision-making processes related to land use issues, which can
include housing. He spoke of the City of Ithaca having two definitive rental groups, one being students
and the other the resident population. All compete for the same resources but have very different interests
and objectives. He said that housing as a strategy will require coming to grips with different definitions
from different decision -makers: e.g. local governments, builders, banks, and landlords. He stated the
brevity of the report does not clearly show how difficulties will be addressed. Ms. Armstrong noted that
it is a work in process and will be amended and that no one thing will clearly address the subject.
Ms. Kiefer asked if Ms. Armstrong could flesh out the status of items referred to in the cover
letter, namely which of the 1997 tasks were completed and which were still being worked on and whether
one or more particular agencies are taking on a task, etc. She then asked if TCAD is adequately staffed
to complete what needs to be done. Ms. Armstrong said that at the present time with the additional
Empire Zone duties staffing is inadequate.
Mr. Hattery asked how many planners suggested housing as a priority versus business individuals
who assisted in developing the strategy. Ms. Armstrong indicated that normally housing is a community
development issue, however, all parties, including the largest employers and not -for -profits indicated the
need to address the deficiency. She stated that virtually all leaders spoke of housing at all income levels,
noting they stated it is difficult to find employment resources needed as a result of inadequate housing.
As a result of this factor, it was decided it should be included and prioritized in the Economic
Development Strategy. In addition, Mr. Hattery was reassured that amendments to the plan would be
brought to the Legislature for review.
303
October 3, 2006
Ms. Robertson referred to the newspaper article in The Ithaca Journal addressing local
economies, stating that Ithaca's downtown economy continues to grow and flourish. She said Ithaca
reflects an economy that, although not perfect, is unique in the region, as it is growing. She believes the
collaborative effort that the plan has will have positive results.
Ms. Kiefer was not certain if the intent for the Legislature is to receive an annual report, but she is
hopeful that will occur. Ms. Armstrong said they will be performing annual evaluation and monitoring of
goals, and a written report will be provided to all Legislators rather than just to the Planning,
Development, and Environmental Quality Committee.
It was MOVED by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Ms. Herrera, and unanimously approved by voice
vote, to lift Resolution No. 158 - Accepting and Committing to Implementation of the 2006 Tompkins
County Economic Development Strategy, from the table.
RESOLUTION NO. 158 — ACCEPTING AND COMMITTING TO IMPLEMENTATION OF
THE 2006 TOMPKINS COUNTY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
STRATEGY
MOVED by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Ms. Herrera. A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes —
14; Noes — 1 (Legislator Proto). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, in 1997, the Tompkins County Board of Representatives charged Tompkins County
Area Development (TCAD) with the preparation of an Economic Development Strategy to guide
countywide activities related to economic development and provide an agenda for positive action, and
WHEREAS, the Economic Development (ED) Strategy prepared for Tompkins County was
accepted by the County Board of Representatives in July, 1999, and
WHEREAS, the Economic Development Strategy included the formation of a Coordinating
Committee responsible for implementation of the strategy, and
WHEREAS, TCAD initiated a planning process to update the ED Strategy in 2005, involving
over seventy-five civic, business and citizen leaders coupled with a research component to provide in-
depth information and background data, and
WHEREAS, the Coordinating Committee, (including representatives from Tompkins County
Area Development, the Industrial Development Agency, the Workforce Investment Board, the Chamber
of Commerce and Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Ithaca Downtown Partnership, the City of Ithaca
Department of Planning and Economic Development and the Ithaca Urban Renewal Agency, the Town of
Ithaca Planning Department, the Tompkins County Planning Department, the Ithaca -Tompkins County
Transportation Council, Cooperative Extension of Tompkins County, and the Municipal Officials
Association) has been meeting quarterly to assess progress toward implementation of the 1999 ED
Strategy, to ensure that all parties are fully aware of the challenges and concerns facing committee
members, and to participate in creating the 2006 ED Strategy, and
WHEREAS, the Coordinating Committee structure has proved valuable in uniting the economic
development professionals in the community to provide mutual support and assistance, and
WHEREAS, the process of updating and revising the County's Economic Development Strategy
is complete, bringing with it new challenges and opportunities that can be more fully realized by
formalizing the role of the Coordinating Committee and converting it to an Economic Development
Collaborative with a mission to:
"Cultivate a prosperous and sustainable regional economy by building the economic foundations,
expanding opportunities, and fully engaging the community in ways that reflect the community's
strengths and values", and
WHEREAS, while further discussion, analysis, and action will be needed to achieve
implementation of the Three Five -Year Goals, a strategy document has been developed that offers a
sound approach to economic development and will serve as the basis for continuing discussion by the
Legislature and the community, and
304
October 3, 2006
WHEREAS, Tompkins County has adopted a Comprehensive Plan and has a record of taking a
comprehensive approach to economic development and fostering collaboration to achieve planning and
development goals, and
WHEREAS, global as well as U.S. oil reserves are not only finite but are at or near the time when
production of oil has peaked and can only decline, a concept known as "peak oil", and this will have a
profound effect on virtually all aspects of our lives, since oil and gas in various forms are used not only to
power cars, trucks, planes, and electricity -generating plants and to heat buildings, but also as feedstocks
for chemicals, pesticides, fertilizers, medicines, and plastics, and the recognition of peak oil calls for a
further look at our local Economic Development Strategy, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Planning Development and Environmental Quality
Committee, That the Tompkins County Legislature hereby accepts the 2006 Economic Development
Strategy for Tompkins County, dated July 18, 2006, as a guide to continuing and future economic
development initiatives and activities intended to benefit all residents of Tompkins County in the years to
come,
RESOLVED, further, That Tompkins County supports the concept of the Economic Development
Collaborative and pledges to participate in strategies that will lead to fulfillment of the mission,
RESOLVED, further, That as part of fulfilling the Economic Development mission of cultivating
"a prosperous and sustainable regional economy", the Tompkins County Legislature calls on TCAD and
its collaborators to recognize the need to grapple with how best to respond to peak oil locally, and, in
addition to the three goals enumerated in the Economic Development Strategy, to also focus on ways to
help our local economy incorporate renewable energy, remain healthy in the face of the "peak -oil"
economic challenge, and move in the direction of being able to provide us locally with needed goods and
services.
SEQR ACTION: TYPE II -20
Privilege of the Floor by the Public — continued
Grace McMenamin, Adult Literacy Tutor for Tompkins Learning Partners, spoke on behalf of the
tutors and students to request support of the agency. She spoke of the agency's work with adult readers
and English as a second language students. She spoke of having grown up with parents unable to read
and how her task was to read such items as job applications, prescription bottles to her parents, and being
the only child in a family of five to graduate high school. Ms. McMenamin spoke of how well run the
agency is and that everyone serving clients are kind and giving, providing confidence, self-esteem, and
assist in their becoming good citizens. She asked that the Legislature continue the funding.
Presentation — Criminal Justice Advisory/Alternatives-to-Incarceration Board
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne, Chair of Public Safety, said several years ago the topic of an evaluation
of the Alternatives -to -Incarceration (ATI) programs was discussed. A series of questions was also
brought forward by Legislators Robertson and Proto regarding the (ATI) initiatives and have been taken
up by the advisory board. She introduced Ms. Cook, member and Chair of the Criminal Justice
Advisory/Alternatives-to-Incarceration Board, and paralegal for the County, to provide highlights of the
report.
Ms. Cook reported that the County Criminal Justice Advisory/Alternatives-to-Incarceration Board
is mandated by State Executive Law to analyze the jail population and review existing ATI programs. An
overarching goal is to create a safer community through the use of programming designed to break the
cycle of crime and recidivism, and to safely reduce the jail population. In Spring 2006 the advisory board
commenced an extensive review of the entire criminal justice system from arrest through to sentencing,
and reviewed the jail population particularly due to a high number of inmates boarding out. Ms. Cook
provided an overview of the scope of membership on the advisory board, noting that all aspects of
criminal justice and human services are represented and work in a collaborative manner.
305
October 3, 2006
Ms. Cook reported that the study indicated that the County's ATI programs have proven to be
effective and the Day Reporting Program is strong, with the highest numbers seen thus far. In addition,
the County Probation Department was recognized by the State for achieving the lowest recidivism.
Tompkins County has three drug courts — Felony, Misdemeanor, and Family Treatment Court; an active
Offender Aid and Restoration program, Community Dispute Resolution Center, and substance abuse
treatment agencies. As a result of the review it was determined that the areas that need to be addressed
are: (1) a faster turn -around for drug and alcohol evaluations in the jail which could result in fewer jail
days while awaiting sentencing or treatment options, (2) at present there is no transitional housing that
assists in a step-down from jail to community; which can be effective with a combination of supervision
and treatment, and (3) the LaBella Study indicated that 84 percent of the inmates in the Jail had
previously been incarcerated, which is an indicator that a cycle needs to be broken.
Ms. Cook spoke of the importance of statistical data collection and analysis when reviewing the
various program components and determining what will be most effective to exiting inmates. At this time
the Sheriff's Department, Probation, and Offender Aid and Restoration are collecting data from inmates.
There is a three-month re-entry pilot program. Ms. Younger, Deputy County Administrator, is assisting
in organizing the objectives, setting a plan of action to complete the tasks, etc. At the present time, the
advisory board meets one time a month, however, in order to complete the necessary tasks it has been
determined to break out into four to five working groups with specific assignments to complete.
In conclusion, Ms. Cook said that an important aspect to bear in mind is that while attempts are
made to reduce costs when dealing with an offender, an important individual is the victim. She said
statistics show that having the offender be personally accountable to the victim in a sensible, personal,
and safe manner is an effective deterrent to re -offending. The Restoration Justice Committee has been
revived and a subcommittee has been formed to work on this aspect of criminal justice. Ms. Cook said
the advisory board will be providing updates in several months, and offered the option of a retreat to
further discuss options.
Mr. Joseph noted this is a progress report, and not a final document. He said that daily checking
of the jail population is not indicative of the program's success and that many options are still available to
assist with a reduction of crime and maintenance of public safety. Mr. Joseph said some options being
considered will not require Legislature action, while other proposals will. In the budget process funds
have been put in place for board -outs or programming to reduce jail overcrowding.
Sheriff Meskill spoke about the jail population, and a safe community. He said the process that
has just begun is a strategic planning process that will be refined to determine the best steps, timeline, etc.
He is pleased to see this work go forward as it will provide a plan that is measurable, regardless of
personal philosophy of ATI programs and he believes it will make a difference.
Mr. Booth asked several questions: (1) what the recidivism rate in Tompkins County has been
within the past year, (2) how was the 84 percent determined, (3) what is the lowest rate in New York, and
(4) what does relevant literature say is an acceptable rate? Ms. Cook said she did not have all the
information; however, the 84 percent was noted in the LaBelia study.
Mr. Hattery said upon review of the report he noted the comments relating to the lack of space. It
was noted that although space is an issue, it should not affect the program review and recommendations.
Sheriff Meskill said that it is hoped that the collaborative efforts will assist in alleviating the problem.
Mr. Proto was pleased to see this initiative, as it will provide information that is beneficial. He
hoped that historical information relating to the Probation Department would be made available to help
show the effectiveness of the program. Ms. Cook indicated Probation has a great deal of information and
that when combined with the other statistics being gathered it should provide a more comprehensive view
306
October 3, 2006
of the effectiveness and needs of the ATI programs. Mr. Proto asked if there will be correlations between
the economic status and crime rates and was infornled that demographic statistics would be reviewed.
Ms. Robertson spoke of the extensive outreach that is undertaken by Probation and other Public
Safety members to educate appropriate members of the judicial field of the various programs available to
their clientele. She also noted that finding a way to assist inmates immediately after release would be a
positive step to reducing recidivism.
Chair's Report
Mr. Joseph reported on his attendance at the New York State Association of Counties (NYSAC)
conference the past week. He has material available for review, including a Legislative Summary on all
bills passed by the Legislature that may be important to the County, various other items of interest,
including literature on Medicaid, entitled "Living with the Medicaid Cap ". Although much of the
information is designed for use by social services departments, the overall impact of the report is that the
cap is very good for counties. Mr. Joseph said that the State has realized that by putting this rigid cap into
place there is the potential for counties not to limit spending, therefore there may be revisions to address
this problem. He did not receive any information about the amendments but it is felt that the cap in its
present form would allow counties to predict their cost for the program for twenty years.
Mr. Joseph said an item that has received interest at both the State and national levels is Chemung
County's Reform program that is an interesting approach to managed care. It puts all of Medicaid under
managed care and is based on extensive research regarding use. He used the example of a small group of
homeless persons in Elmira who utilized some form of Medicaid 300 time in a year. The program will
review the cause and effect to determine the best manner to reduce costs. At this time it is being closely
followed and has the support of Assemblyman Gottfried, Chair of the Assembly Health Committee.
Mr. Joseph spoke of the availability of grants for collaborative intermunicipal services, and
reported that the Tompkins County Council of Governments is in the process of applying for a grant for
cooperative health insurance. One interesting factor was doing services countywide, with an example of a
County having fifty percent or more of the municipalities joining to do cooperative purchasing, payroll,
one human resource office, assessment, or dispatch; he noted Tompkins County has countywide
assessment and dispatch.
Mr. Joseph is a member of the NYSAC Standing Committee on Public Safety, a resolution was
passed at both committee and the business meeting, to urge the State to take responsibility for violated
parolees incarcerated in County jails as well as additional funding for defense of indigents. These items
will be priority items for the NYSAC lobbying staff. Conversations regarding the subject of parolees
brought forth suggestions of ways to obtain assistance from State personnel to help make reentry more
successful. He also said the new State Commissioner of Corrections has received positive comments,
noting that Ulster County met with the new Commissioner and had positive feedback regarding a lower
level of staffing that County's new jail.
Report from the County Administrator
Mr. Whicher did not have a report.
Report from the County Attorney
Mr. Wood reported that there has been a settlement with regard to the challenge of the 2003
through 2006 assessments for Pyramid Mall. The settlement, made with the help of attorney Martin
Shapiro, allows for an agreement for the years 2003 through 2006, as well as for the years 2007 through
2009. Under the terms of the settlement, which has received judicial approval, no taxing authority will be
307
October 3, 2006
required to refund any taxes to Pyramid Mall. A discussion occurred regarding details of how the
settlement was determined, noting that Pyramid Mall is one of the "unique' properties within the County,
and assessment is based on the income stream.
Report from the Finance Director
Mr. Squires called attention to the listing of properties subject to tax enforcement proceedings.
The list contains approximately 130 properties, which is reduced from the normal 150 properties, with
$860,000 total taxes due. Two properties are mobile home parks, and represent over $225,000 of the
amount.

RESOLUTION NO. 167 - SETTING THE INCOME LIMITS FOR THE PERSONS WITH
DISABILITIES AND PERSONS SIXTY-FIVE YEARS OF AGE OR
OLDER LIMITED INCOMES REAL PROPERTY TAX
EXEMPTION
MOVED by Ms. Herrera, seconded by Mr. Randall. Ms. Herrera said this is a result of the State
indicating that the County has the option of increasing the amount of annual income by $2,000 for these
exemptions. Infoiuiation regarding the impact to the County provided to Legislators showed it was an
impact of $24,000, and would assist in allowing individuals to stay in their homes. Mr. Stevenson asked
for clarification of "M" as indicated within the resolution and was informed this is the sliding scale
definition. Mr. Franklin clarified for Ms. Robertson the estimated additional exemptions, noting that a
great deal of information regarding income is available from the Enhanced STAR program. Ms. Kiefer
noted that while some communities have adopted the maximum exemption limits, more municipalities
have not. She encouraged members who vote in favor of the resolution to encourage their municipalities
to do so as well. Ms. Kiefer stated she had not supported the resolution at Committee, and will not
support it at this time, as she does not believe it is necessary to approve amendments annually. Ms.
Herrera noted this resolution is for only the present year. Mr. Franklin qualified that the income level is
Adjusted Gross Income less any IRA distributions.
A voice vote on the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes — 14, Noes — 1 (Legislator Kiefer).
RESOLUTION ADOPTED.

RESOLUTION NO. 168 - AMENDING THE RULES OF THE LEGISLATURE — RULE V —
ORDER AND DECORUM
310
October 3, 2006
MOVED by Ms. Herrera, seconded by Mr. Stevenson. Ms. Herrera noted the split vote at
Committee was 3-2; she appreciates the work involved in amending the rules to assist in eliminating
loopholes that may exist.
MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Mr. Randall, to offer the following substitute resolution that
Ms. Kiefer believes provides more clarification with less modification to the existing rule:
WHEREAS, it is desirable to amend the present Rules of Voting to more clearly specify
procedure regarding an appeal taken from the decision of the Chair, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Government Operations Committee, That paragraph (2)
of Rule V — Order and Decorum is hereby amended as follows:
If an appeal is taken from a decision of the Chair, the Chair shall have the right to explain the
reason for the decision. The Legislature may debate before deciding and the question shall be stated by
the Clerk, "Shall the ruling of the Chair be sustained?" The vote shall be taken by roll call of the
members present and voting exclusive of the Chair who shall not vote on appeals from the ruling of the
Chair. However, if there is a tie vote, the Chair's vote shall be added.
SEQR ACTION: TYPE 11-20
In addition, Ms. Kiefer stated she believes it is important that both the Chair and Legislature
members have the ability to discuss the pros and cons of this appeal situation. She also does not believe it
is necessary to amend the word "sustained.
Ms. Herrera said she prefers the original resolution that does not allow for debate by the
Legislature, which encourages more procedural delays to win approval. In addition, the majority of
Committee members favored "overruled" to "sustained".
Mr. Proto said his question extends to both the original as well as the substitute; in either case the
resolution as presented to Government Operations Committee included three additional paragraphs
dealing with what could be discussed while the roll was being called, that there should not be a public
statement criticizing the job performance of an employee, and that in the event of a disruption during the
meeting the Chair should have the discretion to recess the meeting. None appear in the resolutions
presented. Following a discussion with Ms. Pottorff, Chief Deputy Clerk, he understood that they would
remain within the rules, the only modifications are to what is being presented. Ms. Herrera confirmed this
information.
Mr. Sigler requested Mr. Wood to reiterate information provided to the Government Operations
Committee relating to the statement of "shall be decided without debate" shown in the original resolution
presented. Mr. Wood stated that the teen "without debate" is from Robert's Rules.
Mr. Joseph shared a chart that assists to clarify the problems associated with the present rule and
the need to modify it. He believes the Chair's vote should count and that in the event there is not full
representation of the Legislature that the majority should rule.
Ms. Robertson indicated support for the original resolution, however, she asked if it could be
modified to include the statement "may debate before deciding". Mr. Joseph did not have an objection to
including the statement.
Ms. Kiefer noted the substitution would allow for the Chair to vote in the event of a tie,. She
strongly feels it is appropriate that there be eight votes in favor to decide a matter.
A voice vote on the motion to substitute resulted as follows: Ayes — 3 (Legislators Kiefer, Proto,
and Randall); Noes — 12. MOTION TO SUBSTITUTE FAILED.
311
October 3, 2006
It was MOVED by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Mr. Booth, to amend the original resolution as
follows: The Legislature may debate before deciding shall decide the case without debatc..."
Ms. Herrera referred to Mr. Wood's statement that the reason it is without debate is a procedural
step recommended by Robert's Rules. She does not feel that it is necessary to include debate, which at
times can be lengthy. She urged members to support the original language contained within the
resolution.
A voice vote on the motion to amend resulted as follows: Ayes — 5 (Legislators Booth, Dennis,
Kiefer, Proto, and Randall); Noes — 10. AMENDMENT FAILED.
A voice vote on the original resolution resulted as follows: Ayes — 12; Noes — 3 (Legislators
Kiefer, Proto, and Randall). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, it is desirable to amend the present Rules of Voting to more clearly specify
procedure regarding an appeal taken from the decision of the Chair, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Government Operations Committee, That paragraph (2)
of Rule V — Order and Decorum is hereby amended as follows:
If an appeal is taken from a decision of the Chair, the Chair shall have the right to explain the
reason for the decision. The Legislature shall decide the case without debate, and the question shall be
stated by the Clerk, "Shall the ruling of the Chair be overruled?" The vote shall be taken by roll call of
the members present including the Chair. If the majority of the members present and voting are in favor
of overruling the Chair, then the ruling shall be overruled. If the majority of such members do not vote in
favor of overruling, then the ruling of the Chair shall be sustained.
SEQR ACTION: TYPE 11-20
RESOLUTION NO. 169 - AMENDING THE RULES OF THE LEGISLATURE — RULE VII -
RULES OF VOTING (RESOLUTION REFERRED TO
COMMITTEE -ADOPTED NOVEMBER 8, 2006)
MOVED by Ms. Herrera, seconded by Mrs. McBean-Clairbome. Ms. Herrera stated she believes
the resolution presented effectively amends the rule to more simply and clearly define the process.
It was MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Mrs. McBean-Clairborne, to offer the following
substitute:
WHEREAS, it is desirable to amend the present Rules of Voting to more clearly specify
procedure to determine a direct interest in the result of the vote, and
WHEREAS, it is also desirable to have the advice of the County Attorney in determining direct
interest, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Government Operations Committee, That paragraph (2)
of Rule VII, Rules of Voting is hereby amended as follows:
RULE VII - RULES OF VOTING
(2) Every member present when a vote is taken upon any question shall vote unless excused by
unanimous consent of all members present, or unless a member has a direct interest in the result of the
vote. If a member believes he/she or another member has or is believed to have a direct interest in the
outcome of such vote, the member shall declare what that direct interest is; the County Attorney shall
explore the nature of the conflict of interest and offer advice, and the Chair of the Legislature shall then
make the ruling on whether there is a conflict or not. If the Chair's ruling is affirmative as to the
existence of conflict the member shall have the choice of whether or not to vote.
312
October 3, 2006
The Chair shall in all cases, except upon appeals from rulings of the Chair have a right to vote.
SEQR ACTION: TYPE II -20
Ms. Kiefer spoke of the great deal of thought she has had as a result of her position as Chair of
the Board of Ethics. She believes that a Legislator discloses what may be an apparent conflict is
important and would not like to see a declaration used to avoid taking a position, though she does not
believe it has occurred. The substitute addresses the situation of what the direct interest is, the County
Attorney shall offer advice, and the Chair will make a ruling as to whether there is a conflict. This will
continue present practice and provide the ability to vote.
Ms. Herrera believes that the substitution, particularly the portion that states "or is believed to
have a direct interest", has the potential of creating a situation that an outside party may claim the
potential conflict, thereby causing the matter to require more extensive investigation that should be
necessary. In addition, the portion regarding the Chair making the ruling of whether a conflict exists,
particularly based upon the possible interpretation by the County Attorney on information available at the
specific time a possible conflict is mentioned, could make for an undesirable situation.
Mr. Proto noted that in the original resolution, an individual wishing to not vote must receive the
support of the entire Legislature, or unless that member declares that they have a direct interest in the
result of the vote. He believes that it was not the intent to say a member may be excused from any vote if
they receive unanimous approval of the members and suggested the form of the language be adjusted to
indicate the declaration followed by the vote. Ms. Kiefer indicated that she had found it difficult to
amend the language to adequately reflect the intent. She spoke of a handout provided to members and
suggested the resolution return to Committee as she believes there are additional revisions required within
Rule VII.
Ms. Herrera clarified that the first part of the paragraph stands alone, that a member shall always
vote unless excused by a majority of the membership of the Legislature; the second portion addresses the
ethics issue. She would like to have the members vote on the resolution before them and address other
aspects of Rule VII at future meetings.
In response to an inquiry by Mrs. McBean-Clairborne, it was noted that as a result of language
approved in Resolution No. 168, the Chair would be allowed to vote at all times.
It was MOVED by Mr. Dennis, seconded by Mr. Hattery, to call the question. A voice vote on
the motion resulted as follows: Ayes 10; Noes — 5 (Legislators Joseph, Kiefer, McBean-Clairborne,
Mackesey, and Robertson). MOTION TO CALL THE QUESTION CARRIED.
A voice vote on the motion to substitute resulted as follows: Ayes 3 (Legislators Kiefer,
Mackesey, and McBean-Clairborne); Noes — 12. MOTION TO SUBSTITUTE FAILED.
It was MOVED by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Mr. Proto, to refer the original resolution back to
Committee. A voice vote on the motion resulted as follows: Ayes 9; Noes 6 (Legislators Dennis,
Flattery, Herrera, Koplinka-Loehr, Randall, and Stevenson). MOTION TO REFER TO COMMITTEE
CARRIED.
WHEREAS, it is desirable to amend the present Rules of Voting to more clearly specify
procedure to determine a direct interest in the result of the vote, and
WHEREAS, it is also desirable to have the advice of the County Attorney in determining direct
interest, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Government Operations Committee, That paragraph (2)
of Rule VII, Rules of Voting is hereby amended as follows:
313
October 3, 2006
RULE VII - RULES OF VOTING
(2) Every member present when a vote is taken upon any question shall vote unless excused by
unanimous consent of all members present, or unless that member declares that they have a direct interest
in the result of the vote. The Chair shall in all cases have a right to vote.

RESOLUTION NO. 170 - ADOPTION OF REGULAR AND SUPPLEMENTAL REPORTS OF
TOTALS (FOOTINGS) OF ASSESSMENT ROLLS
MOVED by Ms. Herrera, seconded by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, and unanimously adopted by voice
vote.
WHEREAS, Tompkins County desires to maintain an official record of the 2006 Final
Assessment Roll, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Government Operations Committee, That the regular
and supplemental report of the totals (footings) of assessment rolls be accepted and the figures therein be
used as a basis for the taxation in the several tax districts of the County for the year 2007 based upon the

RESOLUTION NO. 171 - EXPANDING THE TOMPKINS COUNTY HOMEOWNERSHIP
PROGRAM TO ALLOW PARTICIPANTS TO PURCHASE NEW
HOMES
MOVED by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Mrs. McBean-Clairborne. Ms. Robertson noted that the
resolution now includes doublewide mobile homes, and further explanation is available within the memo
from Ms. Filiberto of the Planning Department. Mr. Randall noted that the amendment to include
doublewide mobile homes on permanent foundations makes is consistent with the current policies.
Ms. Kiefer stated she would not support the resolution due to the inclusion of new construction
Type Item 1 and new home listed for sale on the open market, as it may not be located on a parcel with
water and sewer, or near existing jobs. She does not believe it would be beneficial to support this type of
sprawl investment, which contradicts goals of the County Comprehensive Plan.
A voice vote on the motion resulted as follows: Ayes — 13; Noes — 2 (Legislators Kiefer and
Mackesey). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Homeownership Program has provided down payment
assistance to 218 low- and moderate -income households to help purchase safe, decent housing since 1993,
and
WHEREAS, the number of listings on the market at prices that households with limited incomes
can afford to purchase has decreased dramatically as housing prices have increased over the past several
years and as a result, program participants are very limited in their choices of available housing units, and
314
October 3, 2006
WHEREAS, expanding the program to include new home purchases could ease the impediments
in the tight real estate market, and
WHEREAS, expanding the program to include new home purchases supports the goals of the
County's Comprehensive Plan outlined in the housing section, which include promoting choice in
location and type of housing, increasing homeownership, and promoting opportunities for people who
work in Tompkins County to live in the County, and
WHEREAS, local municipalities are vested with the authority to determine where and how
residential development should occur through land -use planning, subdivision, and zoning laws, and any
new housing construction would be subject to local regulations, and
WHEREAS, expanding the program to include new home purchases should also support other
goals of County's Comprehensive Plan such as encouraging development that preserves open space and
valuable agricultural land, increasing housing density near job centers, encouraging infill development in
existing town centers, and maximizing the efficient use of public infrastructure, and
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Planning Advisory Board Housing Subcommittee and the
Homeownership Program Oversight Committee approved the recommended program modifications, now
therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Planning, Development, and Environmental Quality
Committee, That Tompkins County is hereby expanding the Tompkins County Homeownership Program
to allow participants to purchase new housing using the following parameters•

RESOLUTION NO. 172 - APPROPRIATION FROM CONTINGENCY FUND FOR GADABOUT
MOVED by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Mr. Dennis. Ms. Robertson called attention to written
material on desks relating to the resolution. Ms. Kiefer will support the resolution but asked that the
budget be reviewed by Committee members. Ms. Robertson stated the Committee did review the budget
and that TCAT will be reviewing Gadabout's funding level.
Mr. Proto said he did not support the resolution at the Committee meeting for various reasons,
specifically a concern regarding material presented not having all answers available. He agrees that
TCAT should review Gadabout's relationship between TCAT and the County, including information on
the new building extension that did not have any cost associated with it. He will support it at this time
with the friendly amendment indicating it was a requested amount.
315
October 3, 2006
Mr. Stevenson requested information to clarify the codes in the written material.
Ms. Herrera stated it is important to understand that Gadabout has not previously requested
increased assistance from the County. As a member of the TCAT Board she noted that the additional
building used by Gadabout could be reviewed at a later time.
It was MOVED by Mr. Sigler, seconded by Mr. Proto, to remove the second WHEREAS from
the resolution. Mr. Sigler noted he does not believe it to be relevant to the problem, which is a shortage
of funding due to increased fuel costs.
A voice vote on the motion to delete the second WHEREAS resulted as follows: Ayes - 3
(Legislators Kiefer, Proto, and Sigler); Noes - 12. MOTION FAILED.
Ms. Robertson believes that the second RESOLVED indicates the intent to review funding.
It was MOVED by Mr. Stevenson, seconded by Mr. Dennis, to call the question. A voice vote on
the motion to call the question resulted as follows: Ayes - 10; Noes — 5 (Legislators Joseph, Kiefer,
McBean-Clairborne, Proto, and Sigler). MOTION TO CALL THE QUESTION CARRIED.
A short roll call vote on the motion to approve the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes - 13;
Noes — 2 (Legislators Mackesey and McBean-Clairbome). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
Ms. Kiefer inquired how Gadabout receives funding and was informed by Mr. Squires that the
County pays quarterly, TCAT pays monthly.
WHEREAS, Gadabout has been severely impacted by the steep increase in fuel costs resulting in
an operating deficit, and
WHEREAS, Gadabout's requested $75,000 in funding from Tompkins County has not increased
in ten years, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Planning, Development, and Environmental Quality and
the Budget and Capital Committees, That $20,000 be allocated from the Contingency Fund to cover
unanticipated fuel costs for Gadabout,
RESOLVED, further, That the Legislature requests that the Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit

SEQR ACTION: TYPE II - 20
Appointment to the Empire Zone Administration Board
It was MOVED by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Ms. Herrera, to approve the recommended
appointments by the Planning, Development and Environmental Quality Committee to the Empire Zone
Administration Board.
Ms. Kiefer expressed her disappointment in the process used to solicit applications noting that
Tompkins County Area Development staff had already invited specific persons to serve. She reported on
317
October 3, 2006
having recommended several individuals apply. and although their resumes were dated the same as
invited individuals, no consideration had been made. She will not support the motion for this reason.
Mr. Booth stated that a valuable individual whom he believes would have had a great deal to offer
to the advisory board was not included, although additional seats could be made available. He will not
support the appointments for this reason.
It was MOVED by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Ms. Herrera, to enter into an executive session to
discuss personnel matters. A voice vote on the motion resulted as follows: Ayes - 5 (Legislators Dennis
Herrera, Robertson, Shinagawa, and Stevenson); Noes - 10. MOTION FAILED.
Ms. Herrera stated when the topic was first brought up at Committee causing her to ask for a
postponement of the vote and it was granted. She said as a result of the short notice it has been
determined to expand the membership; however, to resolve the request of the State to implement a
working Administration Board the recommended membership should be approved. She stated there is an
opportunity to expand the membership in a fair and equitable geographical area.
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne asked for clarification of the potential for additional membership on the
Administration Board and the timeline involved. Ms. Robertson indicated there is no maximum number
of seats and any name may be suggested at any time; preferably as soon as possible. The seats listed for
the proposed membership are either mandated by State or was determined through the local law passed by
the Legislature. Ms. Robertson spoke of the potential of adding at -large seats in the future if desired.
Mr. Proto asked that it be clear this resolution does not authorize or commit funding to TCAD for
staff support for this function and was assured it does not.
Ms. Kiefer replied to Ms. Robertson's statements and noted that the seat designations have
enough flexibility that the individual's request to serve could have been accepted.
It was MOVED by Mr. Stevenson, seconded by Mr. Proto, to call the question. A voice vote on
the motion resulted as follows: Ayes - 15; Noes - 0. MOTION TO CALL THE QUESTION CARRIED.
A voice vote on the original motion to approve the following appointments to the Local Empire
Zone Administration Board resulted as follows: Ayes - 10; Noes — 5 (Legislators Booth, Kiefer,
Mackesey, Shinagawa, and Stevenson). APPOINTMENTS APPROVED.

Regular Meeting
Public Hearing
Mr. Joseph called a public hearing to order at 5:30 p.m. concerning the Small Cities Community
Development Block Grant Program for the purpose of discussing general housing, public facilities, and
economic development needs in the County.
Chair Joseph asked if anyone wished to speak. Ed Marx, Commissioner of Planning and Public
Works, read the following statement:
CDBG Program Overview
`'The Small Cities Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program is a federally funded
program authorized by Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974.
"The Small Cities Program provides grants to smaller communities to ensure decent affordable
housing, to provide services to the most vulnerable community members, to create jobs and expand
business opportunities for implementing a variety of community and economic development activities
directed toward neighborhood revitalization and economic development, and to provide improved
community facilities and services. Approximately $50 million of CDBG funds are available each Program
Year.
"Tompkins County and many of the towns and villages have utilized the CDBG program for a
number of projects. The County has received 14 separate grants totaling over 6 million dollars which have
primarily been used to support the county's very successful first time home buyer program as well as a
handful of economic development projects.
Program Objectives
"Identifying the need for CDBG funding must be initiated and developed at the local level. It
must be based upon the community's analysis of its local needs, priorities, and benefits to the community.
Each eligible applicant pursuing funding must be responsible for meeting all of the state and federal
requirements including the eligibility of each activity and compliance with one of the following national
objectives:
• benefit low- and moderate -income households,
• aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight, or
• meet community development needs having a particular urgency.
Types of Applications
"The Program is divided into two separate components: the Annual Competitive Grant Round,
and the Open Round for Economic Development grants.
`'Projects submitted under the Annual Competitive Round must address and resolve a specific
community development need within one of the following three areas: (a) Housing, (b) Public Facilities,
or (c) MicroEnterprise. The notice of funding for the competitive round is generally published in
December and applications are due in April. Economic development activities are accepted by the
Governor's Office for Small Cities (GOSC) in a non-competitive, open round format throughout the year.
Comments
319
October 17, 2006
-I will now take any questions, comments on community needs, or suggestions for projects to be

Grant Round.
`'Written comments may be submitted to the Commissioner of Planning, Tompkins County
Planning Department, 121 E. Court Street, Ithaca, NY 14850".

RESOLUTION NO. 179 - ADOPTION OF AMENDMENTS TO THE 2007 TENTATIVE
TOMPKINS COUNTY BUDGET AND 2007-2011 CAPITAL
PROGRAM
MOVED by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, seconded by Mr. Dennis. Mr. Proto requested an explanation
of how the budget process will proceed from this point forward.
324
October 17, 2006
Mr. Joseph explained the Tentative Budget has legal standing. If this Legislature is unable to
pass a budget then the Tentative Budget will become the budget for the following year. He stated when
the County Administrator gives the Legislature a budget that is the Tentative Budget. What the
Legislature is now doing is considering a motion to amend that Tentative Budget in all of the ways that
were discussed and approved by a vote in the Expanded Budget Committee. Mr. Joseph said if this
resolution passes this will become the new Tentative Budget and will also be the default budget if a new
budget is not adopted by this Legislature. In order to amend the Tentative Budget you must have a
resolution that appears on the agenda in advance or is added by the Legislature by ten affirmative votes at
the meeting. At the meeting where the budget is offered, Legislators may make motions to amend the
budget; however, if the final budget is not approved, the Tentative Budget as amended will go into effect.
Mr. Booth said he will oppose this resolution for several reasons. First, in his opinion the tax
rate as it presently stands is too high in the proposed budget. He said that the tax rate increase must be
understood in conjunction with the major increases in assessments that have occurred in recent years and
said he believes any tax rate increase should be substantially below the rate of inflation or the consumer
price index. He also expressed concern about cumulative tax increases City residents will pay for the
combination of City, School, and County taxes.
Second, Mr. Booth believes the County's labor contracts over the past couple of years are much
too generous for what the county can fiscally support at this time.
Third, he said that the tentative budget presented by Mr. Whicher, County Administrator,
required this Legislature to deal with five major challenges (the first four of which involved proposed use
of one-time money to cover ongoing County costs that in his opinion should be covered by ongoing tax
revenues): (a) money being spent next year for the County communications project in anticipation of
eventual contributions to the county from the statewide wireless network; (b)money being spent next
year for jail boardout expenses; (c) money being spent next year for major facility repairs; (d) money
being spent next year to restore the County highway system, a commitment the legislature made two
years ago; and (e) the amount of surplus funds left in the County budget above the target fund balance.
Mr. Booth does not think enough was done in any of these areas, particularly with respect to repair of
County facilities, rebuilding of County roads; and the amount of surplus funds above the target fund
balance.
He said it is apparent to him that at this time this Legislature cannot reduce existing spending and
is not willing to look realistically at long-term costs that need to be covered with long-term funding.
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr spoke of the process and the lack of tools to do a program evaluation. He
said he hopes that every legislator will dedicate themselves to a more comprehensive process.
Ms. Robertson said there are many different ways to reach a conclusion on the budget. The
tension between ongoing services and taxes resulted in immensely difficult choices where agreement
could not be reached on priorities. She thought the process was good in balancing different needs,
particularly at a time when the County is facing cuts from the federal government. She feels the
Tentative Budget is responsible and reasonable.
Mr. Proto said he would like to obtain further input from the public. He agrees with many of the
concerns expressed by Mr. Booth, as well as many of the comments made by Ms. Robertson.
Ms. Kiefer said she shares many of the concerns raised by Mr. Booth; however she feels this
Tentative Budget represents a good balance and a budget to take to the taxpayers for public comment.
Ms. Herrera said she is one of the Legislators who called for a zero percent increase. The
process provided a great amount of education on several programs for which she is grateful. She spoke of
325
October 17. 2006
the Tentative Budget and said although she would have liked to have it be zero, she recognized the
difficult choices that needed to be made. She still is not pleased with where the tax rate increase presently
stands, but said she holds out hope that it can be reduced further this year before final adoption as well as
in years to come.
A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes — 10, Noes — 5 (Legislators Booth, Hattery, Randall,
Sigler, and Stevenson). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, amendments to the 2007 tentative budget and 2007-2011 capital program, were
recommended and filed by the Expanded Budget and Capital Committee on October 16, 2006, and
WHEREAS, a public hearing is tentatively scheduled for November 14, 2006, 7:00 p.m., at the
Legislative Chambers, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Expanded Budget and Capital Committee, That the 2007
Tentative Budget and 2007-2011 Capital Program submitted by the County Administrator is hereby
amended in accordance with the recommendations of the Expanded Budget Committee, the action taken
by this Legislature on this date, and the Rules of the County Legislature and Article 7 of County Law for
a total tax levy amount of $34,787,446, resulting in an approximate tax rate increase of 2.6 percent.
SEQR ACTION: TYPE II -21
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Public Safety Committee
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne, Chair, said the Committee met on October 5 and approved a resolution
appropriating funds to Offender Aid and Restoration which appears on the agenda this evening. Nancy
Rosen, Interim Director, was present at the meeting and provided the Committee with an overview of the
Bail Fund. The Committee also heard a follow-up report to the Criminal Justice Advisory/Alternatives to
Incarceration presentation. Paula Younger, Deputy County Administrator, reported workgroups will be
meeting to discuss specific areas. The Committee also received updates on the communications project
and emergency medical dispatch from Lee Shurtleff, Director of Emergency Response. Ms. Robertson,
Liaison to the Family Court Advisory Council, reported to the Committee on the opening of the out-of-
school suspension project at the Community School. This program is for students who have been
sentenced to a full-day of out-of-school suspension.
RESOLUTION NO. 180 — APPROPRIATION FROM CONTINGENT FUND — BAIL FUND
PROGRAM — OFFENDER AID AND RESTORATION
MOVED by Mrs. McBean-Clairborne, seconded by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr.
Mr. Hattery said he will oppose this resolution because the program was initially started by
community contributions and has moved toward being supported by public tax dollars, which he cannot
support.
Ms. Robertson said she supports this resolution and thinks this is a wise use of taxpayer money as
the majority of bails are returned and there is interest charged to bails. She stated the Bail Fund also
reduces the cost to the taxpayer for boarding prisoners to other jails.
Mr. Proto suggested the Judges may be setting bails at a higher rate than OAR can absorb. He
said the information provided by Ms. Rosen was very helpful; however, a plea needs to be made to the
Judges to reduce the level of bails being set.
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne said the Judges are not setting bails outside of the levels established by
law. Those individuals who are in jail have not been convicted of a crime and in many cases are staying
326
October 17, 2006
in jail because they cannot afford to pay the bail. She feels adopting this resolution is a wise and
responsible action for the County to take.
A roll call vote resulted as follows: Ayes — 10 (Legislators Booth, Dennis, Herrera, Joseph,
Kiefer, Koplinka-Loehr, Mackesey, McBean-Clairborne, Robertson, and Shinagawa); Noes — 5
(Legislators Hattery, Proto, Randall, Sigler, and Stevenson). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, Offender Aid and Restoration (OAR), through its Bail Fund program, makes bail
accessible for low-income individuals when available funds are the only barrier to release from the
Tompkins County Jail pending trial, and
WHEREAS, bail amounts set by judges have risen significantly over the years such that OAR is
able to help fewer people with the same amount of funding, and
WHEREAS, at the beginning of 2006, OAR lowered the maximum amount for which they would
consider securing bail in amounts from $2,500 to $1,500 or less, simply because there was not enough
money to go around and the agency decided to allocate smaller amounts to more people rather than larger
amounts to fewer people, and
WHEREAS, in the first eight months of 2006 there were ten inmates who met the agency criteria
for bail, with a mix of $500 to $1,500 bails (average about $1,000), but these inmates remained
incarcerated because the bail fund was depleted and OAR did not have the money to lend them, and
WHEREAS, an additional $10,000 in the bail fund would result in the following:
• Fewer jail days for the County to pay (Note: the Tompkins County Public Safety Facility
costs about $100 per day, and a board -out at a neighboring jail costs about $105 per day;
this would quickly add up to more than $10,000 saved);
• Fewer people losing their jobs and health insurance due to absence from work and then
needing to go on public assistance following jail time;
• Greater equity between people with the means of paying bail and those who do not have
sufficient income to post bail;
• Reduced family trauma from having a family member jailed. Many of the people who are
arrested and assigned bail have their cases dismissed; others are sentenced to non jail
alternatives. Having to wait for their court date in jail, rather than at home while
maintaining their family life, harms their children and other relationships. Family trauma
also results in clients losing their homes, requiring the County to pay for lodging at the
shelter or other housing alternatives, and
WHEREAS, OAR achieves a ninety percent return rate on its bails posted, with only very few
forfeitures in the last six years, so that the $10,000 would be replenished and reallocated, now therefore
be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Public Safety and the Budget and Capital Committees,
That the Director of Finance be authorized to make the following budget appropriation:
FROM: A1990.54400 Contingent Fund $10,000
TO: A6316.54400 Program Expense $10,000

Report from the Workforce Diversity and Inclusion Committee
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne, Chair, reported the Committee will meet on October 25th at 3:30 p.m.
at the Beverly Livesay Conference room where discussion will continue on bylaws and membership.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Health and Human Services Committee
Mr. Proto, Chair, reported the Committee met on October 4 and had a report from the Office for
the Aging on the point of entry situation. Ms. Holmes was impressed with other County departments that
were assisting with this. The Committee also received an update from Nancy Zahler, Director of Youth
327
October 17, 2006
Services, on the Job Link and the Youth Violence Prevention Task Force. The Committee also received
a report from the Human Services Coalition on the status of the TompkinsRx program.
Ms. Robertson reported on the TompkinsRx program and said the program which has been in
effect for over a year and a half has saved Tompkins County taxpayers over $350,000. There have been
1,500 prescriptions filled monthly on average with a 24% savings. She reminded the public that there are
no County taxpayer funds involved in this and it results in very little work. She also spoke of the Urgent
RX program that received a contribution of $25,000 from the United Way. This program helps to pay for
urgent needs when someone goes to the emergency room at facilities such as Cayuga Medical Center or
the Convenient Care Center, and needs costly post -emergency room prescriptions.
Mr. Proto concluded the Committee will meet next on November r`. At that meeting there will
be discussion on the Committee's work plan.
RESOLUTION NO. 181 — APPROPRIATION FROM CONTINGENT FUND — TERMINAL
REPLACEMENT PAY — HEALTH DEPARTMENT
MOVED by Mr. Proto, seconded by Ms. Robertson. A short roll call vote resulted as follows:
Ayes — 15, Noes — 0. RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the Health Department had a Senior Public Health Engineer retire effective
September 8, 2006, and
WHEREAS, the Fiscal Policy of Tompkins County allows for terminal pay replacement from the
Contingent Fund, and
WHEREAS, a portion of the terminal pay has been authorized and paid, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Health and Human Services and the Budget and Capital
Committees, That the Director of Finance is hereby authorized and directed to make the following budget
appropriations:
FROM: A1990.54440 Contingent Fund $11,241

MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Ms. Robertson. Ms. Kiefer explained the changes in the
resolution to reflect updated death, injury cost figures, and to indicate the Legislature is speaking for
itself and not necessarily all of the residents in Tompkins County.
It was MOVED by Mr. Hattery, seconded by Mr. Randall, to Table this resolution. A voice vote
resulted as follows: Ayes — 7 (Legislators Booth, Dennis, Hattery, Proto, Randall, Sigler, and Stevenson);
Noes — 8 (Legislators Herrera, Joseph, Kiefer, Koplinka-Loehr, Mackesey, McBean-Clairborne,
Robertson, and Shinagawa). MOTION FAILED.
Ms. Herrera said this resolution did not make it out of the committee process when initially taken
up but that time has allowed people to hear about it and weigh in on it with their Legislators. Ms. Herrera
believes there is a local reflection of these national events and said it is a local issue with appropriate
timing. She also appreciates the update and changes Ms. Kiefer has inserted.
Ms. Robertson called attention to a website containing the Iraq Body Count Database and stated
the comparison to the United States is the equivalent of losing 535,000 Americans as the United States
has a population of 300 million compared to Iraq's population of 26 million.
Mr. Dennis said when 911 occurred his sons lost very close friends in that event. He was
personally impacted and felt that although something should be done, he did not expect this war to take
place. He said it seems lawmakers on both sides of the political aisle believe there needs to be an exit
policy for this war and he will support this as it may go a small way towards ending a terrible situation
that is taking place in another part of the world.
Mr. Stevenson said he will not support this resolution. At the beginning of the budget process
this Legislature endeavored to produce a budget with a zero percent tax increase. In his opinion, the
Tentative Budget is bigger than it ought to be. One thing that frustrates him is that this legislative body
spends time debating issues that are not the County's or are not appropriate to debate. He doesn't doubt
the County could use federal tax dollars; however, he thinks this resolution sends the wrong message as it
shows the County is spending time debating this when the County's budget and relevant county business
needs to be discussed.
Mr. Randall said he did not support this resolution in Committee. He agreed with the comments
made by Mr. Stevenson that this is not the appropriate place to discuss this, and said he will be
representing all of his constituents when he makes his choice clear as he votes.
Ms. Kiefer said everyone is feeling the effects of the use of taxpayer dollars outside the United
States these days and thinks it is legitimate to bring this before this legislative body. She would be glad to
have members just vote rather than discuss.
Mr. Proto said there were several votes and issues about the public not being involved and
informed with regard to the Town of Danby resolution. He said it took a long time to rework the
resolution and the final resolution passed by a vote of 3-2. Mr. Proto said he empathizes with veterans
and recalled the events of 911 during which he lost friends and relatives as well. Mr. Proto, a member of
the local Veteran's Chapter, said others who are truly supportive of our men and women in the United
States Armed Forces, are extended an invitation to come to any of the veterans events that take place.
Mr. Sigler does not believe this is a local issue and instead is a matter of opinion whether the
United States should be at war in Iraq. He spoke to the comments regarding lost funding to localities and
said that impact is not being felt yet and it is being applied to the deficit, an impact that will be felt later
by our children and grandchildren. He spoke of the handout from Ms. Robertson showing death counts
and stated the counts include civilian deaths caused by insurgent and terrorist attacks as well. Mr. Sigler
329
October 17, 2006
said the majority of national democrats agree there should be a change in course but immediate
withdrawal is not the right action.
Ms. Herrera said one of the reasons this is being brought up is about the federal government
telling the County to support programs that were initially started with federal funds and no longer
providing support for them.
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne, stated she represents individuals who have gone to jail over opposing
this war and also knows people who are dying as a result of this war. She strongly feels the war needs to
end.
Mr. Booth said that any individuals who wish to comment on the war in Iraq should do so. He
noted that his constituents did not elect him to serve on this Legislature for the purpose of taking positions
on foreign policy decisions by the United States government or on the movement of American armed
forces. He stated that he does not believe the County Legislature has any "jurisdiction" flowing from its
legal responsibilities that justify its commenting on choices made by the federal government regarding
Iraq. He stated further that the County Legislature lacked any institutional competence to comment on
these matters.
Regarding the substance of the resolution, he noted that wars are terrible, that they are generally
not popular and should not be, and that they usually involve great human sacrifice and immense loss.
He noted further that the language regarding deaths in Iraq suggested that American forces are
responsible for all of those deaths, whereas in fact many of those deaths are being caused by people who
are intentionally attempting to shock the world by slaughtering innocent men, women, and children. In
addition, he stated that this resolution does not present a plan for strategic withdrawal from Iraq but only
calls for the United States to withdraw immediately; he said this position could not gain support from any
major candidate for President and could not be adopted by either house of Congress, whether controlled
by Republicans or Democrats. In his opinion, immediate withdrawal by American forces from Iraq
would lead to disastrous consequences for Iraq, America, Israel, and the entire world.
A voice vote on the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes — 9 (Legislators Dennis, Herrera,
Joseph, Kiefer, Koplinka-Loehr, Mackesey, McBean-Clairborne, Robertson, and Shinagawa); Noes — 6
(Legislators Booth, Hattery, Proto, Randall, Sigler, and Stevenson). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, Tompkins County Legislature strongly supports the men and women serving in the
United States Armed Forces in Iraq and recognize the sacrifices that each of them is making, and
WHEREAS, the war and the occupation of Iraq:
1. Have caused the deaths of over 2,700, and serious injury to over 20,000 of our young
soldiers;
2. Have resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians, and the devastation of Iraqi
infrastructure;
3. Have created a training and recruitment ground for terrorists;
4. Have already cost more than three -hundred -seventy billion dollars, of which Tompkins
County's share is over $145 million, money that could be spent at home for education, health
care, and property tax relief,
now therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the Legislature of Tompkins County, urges our Federal government to
commence a humane, orderly, and comprehensive withdrawal of United States military personnel and
bases from Iraq,
RESOLVED, further, That the Tompkins County Legislature directs the Clerk of the Legislature
to send a copy of this resolution to President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, U.S.
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales., Senator Charles Schumer, Senator Hillary Clinton, Congressman
Maurice Hinchey, and Congressman Sherwood Boehlert.

Regular Meeting
Public Hearing
Mr. Joseph called a public hearing to order at 5:30 p.m. to discuss submitting a specific
application for open -round economic development funds under the Small Cities Community
Development Block Grant Program in 2006.
Chair Joseph asked if anyone wished to speak. Heather Filiberto of the Planning Department
provided the following information:
``Tompkins County is preparing to submit an application for assistance to the New York State
Governor's Office for the 2006 Small Cities Community Development Block Grant open round
Economic Development Program funding.
Funding Requested
"A grant request of $516,000 is proposed to provide a $500,000 economic development loan to
RPM Ecosystems. $16,000 will be retained by Tompkins County to cover administration and program
delivery costs.
"RPM Ecosystems will receive a $500,000 loan at an interest rate of 4% for a term of five years.
Funds shall be used for product development and working capital associated with the start up and
expansion of the business. New business development and the associated creation of jobs supports the
economic development needs of Tompkins County as identified in the County's Comprehensive Plan and
the 2006 Economic Development Strategy.
Proposed Activity
"The RPM Ecosystems Growing Operation Project will establish a plant nursery on
approximately 159 acres of land located at approximately 2150 State Route 13 in the Town of Dryden on
existing, vacant farmland. The project will occupy approximately half of the site. Development will
include a four -acre pond for irrigation, installation of 40 greenhouses, an education/outreach center, and
associated accessory buildings to support the business. Total project costs are documented at $8,000,000.
The project will leverage over $7,000,000 in private funds
National Objective
"The RPM Ecosystems project meets the national objective of the CDBG program of expanding
economic opportunities for persons of low and moderate incomes. Within three years, RPM Ecosystems
will create 56 full-time permanent jobs, 44 (or 79%) of which will be made available to persons of low -
and moderate -income.
"A copy of the application is available for review at the Tompkins County Planning Department,
121 E. Court Street, Ithaca, NY."
Ms. Robertson asked what "RPM" stands for and was informed RPM® Ecosystems' products are
grown by a patent -pending Root Production Method (RPM®). The RPM® process is uniquely based on a
multi -step system that includes air pruning of the root system and trademarked soil preparation and
husbandry techniques. The resulting denser, more fibrous root mass enables the tree to absorb and utilize
more oxygen and nutrients, greatly enhancing the trees' growth rate and survival rate.
Mr. Sigler inquired where the trees would be sold as he has concerns about competition with
other local businesses. Ms. Filiberto stated the trees will be used primarily for restoration projects
undertaken by the US Army Corps of Engineers, various Soil and Water Conservation Districts, and
others in the northeast region of the country, primarily outside of Tompkins County.
332
November 8, 2006
Ms. Robertson said the company received an abatement from the Industrial Development Agency
and that during the application process it was noted the sales would not be retail sales. Ms. Herrera stated
she had heard other financial assistance was not received and inquired what it was. Ms. Filiberto said she
believed it was a request to New York State Empire State Development for an equipment grant; the
inability to receive the grant should not affect the overall project. In addition, Ms. Filiberto said she
believes the company has also applied for a $250,000 grant from NYSERDA for their greenhouses, which
is pending. The company has received their bank funding and have invested $2.5 million in equity into
the project thus far.
No one else wished to speak and the public hearing was closed at 5:36 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 Legislators.
Resolution to Honor George M. Dentes
At this time Chair Joseph asked Mr. Proto to bring forward a resolution honoring former District
Attorney, George M. Dentes, who passed away on October 31st
It was MOVED by Mr. Proto, seconded by Mr. Booth, and unanimously adopted by voice vote,
to add the resolution entitled Honoring Former District Attorney George M. Dentes to the agenda.
MOTION APPROVED.
RESOLUTION NO. 183 — HONORING FORMER DISTRICT ATTORNEY GEORGE M.
DENTES
It was MOVED by Mr. Proto, and unanimously seconded, and adopted by voice vote.
Mr. Joseph stated that while he and Mr. Dentes had political and policy differences, it never
prevented them from treating each other with respect and cordiality on a daily basis. He said there was no
question about Mr. Dentes professional competence and commitment of service to the people of
Tompkins County; his passing is a loss to all.
Mr. Proto expressed the gratitude of himself and Mr. Dentes family for those able to attend the
visiting hours and services. He stated the calling hours began at 2:30 p.m. and ended at 9:45 p.m., with
an estimate of between 700 to 1,000 individuals paying their respect. Mr. Proto said the services itself
was also highly -attended and the family appreciated all that was done for them.
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne spoke of her working with Mr. Dentes as a part of the Public Safety
Committee, noting he brought a sense of humor, commitment, and intelligence about his job that she
deeply admired. She said he was extremely knowledgeable and shared his opinions as well as
information on the law. Mrs. McBean-Clairborne said and others received an education from Mr. Dentes
that will be sorely missed. In addition, she said when information from the District Attorney was needed
he found time for not only members of the Committee but others as well; and although he did not always
agree he was willing to listen and share his thoughts and ideas. Mrs. McBean-Clairborne said his work
was appreciated and his passing is a loss to the community, particularly at such an early age.
Mr. Hattery said that while he did not know him well, Mr. Dentes was an inspiration to public
service and he appreciated all he did.
333
November 8, 2006
Mr. Booth said he has three enduring images of Mr. Dentes: (1) at Tompkins County budget
presentations he was direct and forthright, although he may be told no he said it the way he saw it; (2) as a
former neighbor he has the image of Mr. Dentes walking up the street at the end of the day, his coat on his
shoulder and a smile on his face; and (3) during the first half of the Cornell University/Navy spring game
he met and spoke with Mr. Dentes, met one of his brothers, and saw that Mr. Dentes appeared happy and
healthy and spoke excitedly of his new job in Albany. Mr. Booth said it is a great tragedy that someone
died so young.
Mr. Randall said he did not know Mr. Dentes well; his first interaction was following the primary
election prior to sitting on the Legislature. Mr. Randall said he received a call from Mr. Dentes who
made a wonderful first impression; he was engaged, sincere, and supportive.
Mr. Sigler said very few things shock him, however, upon hearing the news of Mr. Dentes
passing he was in disbelief. Mr. Sigler said very few people inspire others like Mr. Dentes did and that
the short time he was alive left the County and the world a better place to live in. Mr. Sigler expressed his
condolences to Mr. Dentes family.
WHEREAS, George M. Dentes distinguished himself serving as Tompkins County's District
Attorney from 1989 through 2005 for four terms, spanning sixteen years, and
WHEREAS, George M. Dentes served in that capacity with dignity, honesty, integrity, verve,
steadfastness, humor, defiance, brilliance, thoroughness, intelligence, intensity, innovativeness, kindness,
and charm, and
WHEREAS, George M. Dentes was well respected by supporters and opponents alike, earning
the same from policing agencies and colleagues not only locally, but from throughout New York State,
and
WHEREAS, while his humility and shyness became apparent to those who worked closely with
him, and to those who became his friends, he mentored many in our community, selflessly giving of his
time to youth programs, teaching, and to those in need of help, and
WHEREAS, this Legislature thus shares with his family and the larger Tompkins County
community, the sadness of this extreme loss due to his untimely passing, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, That the members of the Tompkins County Legislature and all County staff join to
express their sincerest sympathy to the family of George M. Dentes recognizing their personal loss,
acknowledging that this sentiment is shared throughout Tompkins County, and honoring the memory of a
true public servant.
SEQR ACTION: TYPE II -20
Privilege of the Floor by the Public
Michelle Berry, City of Ithaca resident and Alderperson on Ithaca's Common Council, said "she
will again be coming by to say farewell as Poet Laureate at the end of the year, which will be a happier
time than what she is corning before the Legislature for this evening. She came here tonight in support of
Legislators Kathy Luz Herrera and Leslyn McBean-Clairborne, who she understands are making
statements this evening. Ms. Berry made the following statement:
am deeply troubled and saddened about the recent controversy, and I think, fiasco, that went out
around Assemblywoman Lifton's letter. I want to first make an appeal to say that I know there are many
other people of various other skin colors and classes and education levels who might agree with what I
say, but I want to be very clear that I am just speaking for myself tonight.
"Many of you know that I am an African-American person; I am also Irish and Cherokee. My
grandfather was, probably by legend, and 1 think truthfully, killed by the Ku Klux Klan. Every single
woman in my family, including myself has been raped. I bear out the history of oppression and the
334
November 8, 2006
history of survival. I come to you as an elected official tonight to talk about what I think is possible in
our enlightened City and what I think was improbable to believe, but which actually did happen recently.
1 was in Tampa, and I read about all of this on-line and was shocked.
want to say I want the Democratic party leadership to see me as an individual and not all of us
as identical. When I was first elected three years ago I went to Irene Stein in tears because I couldn't
believe that people not only thought I was Leslyn McBean-Clairborne, but they thought 1 was Shawn
Martel -Moore, and they thought I was Officer Christine Barksdale, and I hear that some other thirteen
African-American women have been called my name. My heart was heavy because I did not ever want
those other African-American women to resent me because obviously I had been given their identity;
more likely than not they are called Michelle Berry more than I am called their names. I don't know what
kind of tension that spurs between us. I talked to her [Ms. Stein] and she said, "But you and Leslyn do
look alike." 1 want to say that was so disheartening, from the very top of our leadership; but I have never
spoken publicly about this. The reason why I am doing this is that if I continue to silent about how
oppressive I have felt the top party leadership has been and are being, maybe nothing will change.
"When we talked about diversifying the party and bringing people of color to the table, when
people of color brought that issue up, the onus was on us to make it better. When we go to Democratic
party meetings there are less than ten of us of color. When Lieutenant Governor -Elect David Patterson
came to town we received a message from Irene Stein for all the people of color who were elected to try
to make it to that barbecue. This was the worst form of tokenism because some of us certainly had other
plan and wished there could be more people of color who could actually be there. 1 met David Patterson
when he was in town and he said although I am legally blind I can see you weren't at that barbecue, and
we embraced and I said, "There has to be more than just us ten, the Party leadership simply has to do a
better job of letting other people of color who are powerful in this community, know when the full body
of the party meets.
"The struggle for there just being the few of us, and that we have been pioneers our whole lives,
is awful and terrible at times and when I ask white allies to support us, it is not without some degree of
fear that I come to you and ask for that support. I want you to know that I am terrified to put my half -
white child in our school district, although she has skin -color privilege now, she may not continue to have
that into our school system. I want you to know that I am terrified about the violence in our streets. I am
quite concerned and I fear that if it were white people being shot in our streets in drive-by shootings we
would see it as a pandemic, and yet I feel like the drive-by shootings in our streets are being labeled,
somehow privately, as the "Black Problem" for we are stereotyped as violent people. I think that that is
terribly problematic.
I want to say for Peter Meskill, Irene Stein, and Barbara Lifton, you don't know me, and you
don't know other people of color, and that is sad because I have come to you on numerous occasions to
tell you my story. For any people in our party leadership who signed off on that letter, you don't know
me. That 1 am hired nationally to advise people on media strategy and to advise others on diversity, yet
was not called about that letter, you don't know me. That is sad to me. I ask our leadership to look at the
fact that it has been so controversial to try to suppress black vote in any way, think about Florida. How
many people go into a polling booth and actually vote because someone is a Democrat, someone is a
woman, someone is Republican; lots of people. But if you study the history of African-Americans—
African-Americans tend to be more conservative, they are less likely to vote for someone who is black,
just because they are black; in fact they may be harder on an African-American candidate.
"If Barbara Lifton had written, "1 am supporting Peter Meskill because I am a Democrat, he's a
Democrat and he's the best candidate," I'd have no problem with the letter. The letter not being vetted
before many of us of color (particularly black men in the party, as the letter was about not voting for a
black man—Tim Little) and then trotting out the accomplishments of Carl McCall, who we all know was
the best candidate in the Governor's race, yet somehow putting him in the letter and stating she was
335
November 8, 2006
"proud" to introduce him to her son, utilized the shopworn some of our best friends are black," tactic and
was entirely ignorant and offensive.
"Who would have ever thought Barbara Lifton racist for writing a letter of support for Peter
Meskill? But to trot out Carl McCall and the recent donation from her office to the Greater Ithaca
Activities Center (G.I.A.C.) puts in serious question her alleged understanding of racial dynamics, racial
oppression, and the polemic of race -baiting.
"We didn't need that in the letter. I can only speak for myself but I would love to see the passion
in this community that happened for the Dog Park happen for people to really hear people of color. Black
people are not a monolith, we are not all the same, we are not all identical, we are each an individual. I
am crying out to be noticed and truly heard.
"Just because I may not have the political clout to stop or change elections doesn't mean I don't
matter. I feel the Democrats need to hear this. I've worked with Republicans before, I've worked with
Democrats, I've worked with Independents; the only way we are going to have true vision and make the
dream come true that Dr. King felt was important is if we all talk to each other.
"This is specifically about Democrats tonight. The party leadership in this party failed me, a
Democrat. 1 want that heard loud and clear; I will not hide silently any more about the levels of tokenism
that have been put upon me and other people of color in this party. We must be equal players at the table,
we were equally elected with you, and you must consult us before you submit such treacherous,
dehumanizing letters. Thank you."
Privilege of the Floor by Legislators
Ms. Herrera, District No. 3 Legislator, made the following statement:
"Negative campaigning, voter intimidation, race baiting.
"You may think I am talking about Virginia or Tennessee, or some less enlightened state. This
happened here in Tompkins County; by Democrats.
"Democrats in Tompkins County need to know that racism is alive and well here, because we just
used it. And we should be ashamed.
"I'm ashamed. I'm ashamed to be a Democrat in Tompkins County today.
"Ashamed that a member of this body, and Democrats running for re-election used fear, the issue
of race, and their influence as public officials to discourage people from voting for Tim Little. If they had
used the fact that he is not a Democrat, I would not object.
"Some said they just said publicly what others talk about privately; things that make people
uncomfortable.
-I'm saying right now: there are many things that make people uncomfortable that are wrong to
use to win an election, and race is just one of them.
"Democrats used race and fears about race to influence an election, and that is racist behavior.
Right here in Tompkins County; by Democrats who were worried and desperate to win.
``It is wrong. I am a Democrat and it is wrong. And by the way, you don't have to wait to find out
how many people and which people think it's wrong to know that it's wrong.
336
November 8, 2006
"The big shots wrote and sent fear -mongering letters with race -baiting. They insulted the voters,
assuming that without instruction, people vote first for race regardless of qualifications. Why assume
that? Is what they do?
``This is not the way that fair people conduct their business. And I am calling out this wrongdoing
right now, because I have some integrity, I am a person of color, and I want no part of it, and I am
insulted by it, and I demand action. More than listening meetings, more than lip service, I want more than
tokenism. I am ashamed.
``Progressives, the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) community, people of color,
environmentalists, and fair-minded people recognize being manipulated and taken for granted. I know
that I speak for scores of people when I say that it will not happen to me again. Not in this community,
not in Tompkins County, not in my party."
Mr. Booth, District No. 3 Legislator, was glad that Ms. Berry came to speak about the matter. He
was simply dumbfounded by the letter that was sent and expressed disappointment it was. Whether it was
necessary or not in a tactical sense in a political race is not a reason to send it. Mr. Booth was
disappointed and dismayed the letter was sent.
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne, District No. 2 Legislator, as Chair of the Public Safety Committee
congratulated Sheriff Meskill for winning his re-election and said he has done a wonderful job with the
Sheriff's Department and Deputies, bringing a lot of skill and control with the things happening within
the department and has brought a lot of professionalism to it. In addition she congratulated Mr. Robison
and Mr. Little for running excellent campaigns and hope that as community members who brought
forward interesting ideas on their platforms that they hold true to campaign commitments and will work
diligently and cooperatively with the Sheriff, Legislators, and community members to bring the ideas
forward and ways they can be implemented to make Tompkins County safer.
Mrs. McBean- Clairborne said she appreciated Ms. Berry coming to the Legislature to speak and
then made the following statement:
`'Today I sit in a place of intense internal conflict over the events of this past week as it relates to
the Tompkins County Sheriff's race. On the one hand I feel regretful that an otherwise high -integrity race
was tarnished by written comments filled with insensitivity and underlining, perhaps, some unconscious
bigotry. I am regretful that these comments came from high and respected leadership in the Democratic
Party, of which I am a member. On the other hand I am grateful that these comments surfaced because
they created an opportunity for the leadership of the party to hear from constituents about their hurt and
feelings of disrespect; for that leadership to revisit the basic principles that define Democrats; for the
leadership to recognize and admit to their need for continued education of issues of racism and
oppression; and to realize that the downtrodden and disenfranchised who we try hard to protect as
Democrats are feeling exposed, disregarded, and in some respects whipped.
"Is diversity important in elections and in hiring and in what we do in the County? You bet it is.
Two years ago some of us, many of us in this room, held up County government so that we could start
dealing very intimately with issues of diversity in this County. I expect it to be an issue in anybody's
campaign and with anybody who is hiring. As someone who Chairs the Workforce Diversity and
Inclusion Committee, diversity is extremely important to me as it is important to the committee members
and to those of you sitting around this table. I expected that to come up during these elections. What I
didn't expect as Mr. Booth pointed out, and was dumbfounded by, was to put out issues that as a
community of color we can see clearly rode the lines of racism, insensitivity, and bigotry. I am
disappointed and I am saddened and I hope that the actions that we take as leaders, I can speak for myself,
will provide an opportunity to sit with our leadership and others in the community to do some more
educating and talking about this. We have been educating for a number of years; we have had similar
337
November 8, 2006
conversations for a number of years. After a while it gets very tiring — it gets tiring. I don't mind
educating, 1 don't mind sharing, but when I am done and you say you got it, and you cry with me, and
you empathize and you say 1 feel your pain and two years later turn around and do the same thing it tells
me you have not learned and there is something embedded that we need to un -bed, we need to dig up and
we need to get rid of.
I look to all of you as colleagues, I look to the leadership of the Democratic party, and I look to
all you across the floor, across the aisle — Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Green Party members,
whoever you are, that all of us will take this as an opportunity to grow, to learn, and to begin to really be
conscious of what we say and do when we represent others and when we set ourselves out there because
we never know who we are stepping on.
I came into this role and into this Legislature, I would say my baptism was by fire, it was not an
easy transition for me but I felt that we made great strides. Then I hear this and see this and in some
respects I don't know how to respond. I will say very clearly that I had an opportunity to suggest to two
folks that this is not the direction in which we want to take any campaign. I did not see this letter before it
went out, I got it in the mail like everybody else. I felt insulted and disrespected as someone who is in a
position of leadership. As a Black woman in a position of leadership in this community, and a Black
woman who heads up this County's work for diversity and inclusion, I felt pretty disrespected that
nobody felt it wise to seek my opinion, to ask me what do I think. Instead 1 get this letter in the mail like
everybody else and then I am asked to help do damage control. That is troubling to me and so I really just
wanted to set it out there and let folks know how I feel.
"I also want to say that it is not just from me. There are other women of color and other people in
this community who are leaders who have similar feelings. I can speak one -hundred percent sure for my
husband, JR Clairborne who is a Common Council member who feels the same. I can speak for Marcia
Fort who is a very well respected Black woman in this community who feels the same way. I can speak of
Shelly Michelle Nunn who probably feels the same way, and any number of women and men of color in
the community, who feel the same way and don't have the calm to deal with it right now. On behalf of all
those folks, myself, and my children who are growing up in this community I do want to share our
disappointment and our hurt at something being turned into what shouldn't have been, an otherwise really
cool, high -integrity race, running on the merits of people's skills and qualifications being turned into a
race about whether you are Black or White or in between. 1 said to Irene Stein, Chair of the Tompkins
County Democratic Party, when I spoke to her that, when Ralph Nader ran on the Green Party we said he
would split the votes, don't vote for him. We did not say don't vote for the White man Ralph Nader,
because we will split the votes. There was no need to qualify the skin color, the ethnicity, or race of Tim
Little in that light as well."
Mr. Shinagawa, District No. 4 Legislator, spoke of the difference between the 1960's civil rights
movement and today, noting it was a more overt form of racism that we now experience. He stated today
it is covert, and sometimes done without realizing it. Mr. Shinagawa said that upon recognition of the
action there is a responsibility to try to confront the oppression and do the best you can to help see what
overt/covert actions are doing.
Ms. Mackesey, District No. 1 Legislator, told Ms. Berry her attendance was important and that
she was thankful she spoke. She said she was out of town when these events occurred and only saw it the
previous evening. Ms. Mackesey felt that the letter represented much of today's culture, and however
difficult it may be it should not be ignored or excused. She is very sad that it happened and said it has to
be faced and dealt with. Ms. Mackesey expressed a belief that it is a human responsibility to do whatever
is possible to stop this type of pain and she is very sorry it happened.
Ms. Kiefer, District No. 10 Legislator, noted it had to be difficult for Ms. Berry to come forward
and she was glad she did. She then said she expressed disgust for the letter and said she spoke to the
338
November 8, 2006
author to express her feeling. She is not sure it was approved by many high-level Democrats and believes
it was a terrible mistake that she hopes all will learn from.
Mr. Shinagawa spoke of learning being a two-way street and people need to be willing to listen.
He said diversity is not hiring individuals of color but realizing values. Mr. Shinagawa stressed the
importance of training individuals on diversity and the importance of helping them to see the
discriminatory actions.
Mr. Proto, District No. 7 Legislator, assured Ms. Berry that while these events occurred in the
Democratic party the Republican party was equally as troubled by it. As the senior member of the
Republican party he wished to state that his party is not happy with what they read.
Ms. Robertson, District No. 13 Legislator, thanked Ms. Berry, Ms. Herrera, and Mrs. McBean-
Clairborne for speaking, noting it is very hard to share such intense feelings. She hopes the conversation
will bring out something better in all. Ms. Robertson said Assemblywoman Lifton's scheduled meeting is
November 15th, which has conflicts with other meetings; she hopes it will be rescheduled to avoid the
conflicting date.
Mr. Proto reported that two County employees were recently recognized by the Rotary Club
Recognition Award for their contributions to the community: John Andersson of the Environmental
Health Division, and County Clerk Aurora Valenti. He thanked individuals attending the Veteran's
Parade last Sunday and reported that on Saturday, November 11 at 10:30 a.m. there will be a ceremony at

utilizing a portion of Sampson Air Force Base as a Veterans Cemetery, noting $500,000 has been

members of the Legislature and the many other organizations who supported the initiative.

prior to this meeting to address resolutions. He reminded individuals that the Public Hearing is November

Report from the Workforce Diversity and Inclusion Committee
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne, Chair, reported the Committee met on October 25th and had a
discussion regarding the configuration of the Workforce Diversity and Inclusion Committee and its
bylaws. She noted this work is done to provide the ability to move the Committee forward into becoming
an Advisory Committee. She reported the Marketing subcommittee has been working on amending the
diversity logo and will be bringing it forward for review. Mrs. McBean-Clairborne said the Committee
discussed the recently passed legislation regarding the New York State Workplace Violence Act that will
take effect this year with the anticipation to be in place by July 2007. At this time municipalities are
asked to prepare a risk assessment plan in preparation of the requirement. She reported a discussion
occurred regarding Civil Service testing requirements presenting a barrier to increasing diversity. It was
noted that New York City has different Civil Service standards that allow such things as foreign language
testing unlike other areas of the State; members are going to see how this could be modified. Mrs.
McBean-Clairborne also reported on a concern of accessibility services for sight- and hearing-impaired
individuals residing in the County and the need to see what can be done to accommodate their needs,
particularly during budget sessions and public hearings. The Public Information Officer will be looking
into the matter. The next meeting will be held on December 11th due to holiday conflicts. Mr. Booth
believes the Civil Service procedure is in need of reform and suggested that the New York State
Association of Counties review it. Mrs. McBean-Clairborne spoke of her previous position with
Affirmative Action and how they reviewed the matter. She said other states have a pass/fail system rather
than one requiring the candidate to be within the top three and they had attempted to see how the New
York requirements could be amended. She thanked Mr. Booth for the suggestion.

York, has been selected for the road patrol negotiations. Ms. Gold, member of the law firm, has
previously participated in Tompkins County Sheriff's Department negotiations. Mr. Dennis believes it is
350

a good choice of firms with a great deal of experience, and will have a flat fee for their services. Ms.
Robertson inquired about the legality of prescription drug purchases in Canada and was informed that

2007 Tentative Budget and 2007-2011 Capital Program and asked if anyone wished to speak.
Clayton Moore, Town of Ithaca, stated he feels the increases in County spending in recent years
and its impact on the property tax is excessive. Mr. Moore said he objects to the contents of the letter by
County Administrator, Stephen Whicher, that was presented with the tentative budget. Although he
believes Mr. Whicher is entitled to his opinion, he doesn't agree that it represents the majority of
taxpayers. Mr. Moore said increases in County spending needs to stop and the property tax burden in
Tompkins County needs to be reduced.
Ms. Kiefer arrived at 7:09 p.m.

Privilege of the Floor by the Public
Nancy Zahler, Director of Youth Services, spoke to a proposal that will be brought forward later
in this meeting to reduce the Youth Services budget for municipal youth services by $70,000. This
program is one that intervenes very early in the lives of young people at a very reasonable cost. She
shared a letter from a parent from the Town of Groton whose children have benefited from the program
and urged the Legislature to not support the funding reduction to this program.
Stephen Nicholson, Chair of the Environmental Management Council (EMC), spoke in regard to
rescission of the City leash law on Festival Lands. He said the EMC was startled and disappointed to
learn that no environmental review has been done concerning the rescission of the City's dog -leash law,
specifically for the Festival Lands, to be effective December Pt. Mr. Nicholson said State Law requires a
State Environmental Quality Review and is requesting that the Board of Public Works insist on a properly
executed SEQR review before it attempts to promulgate rules and regulations to implement the City's
new change in its Leash Law. The Office of State Parks has also sent a letter to the Mayor requesting a
SEQR review. Mr. Nicholson said the adoption of this law will result in many dogs venturing into the
special areas that needs special protection.
Presentation of Distinguished Youth Award
Ms. Robertson, District No. 14 Legislator, presented the November Distinguished Youth Award

Brooke Sepos — Newfield
Nichole Mack — Lansing

The group was nominated by Trudy Pantalia, Program Manager. for "being forerunners in

in their behavior which have been reported back to us by family members and referral sources.
Community members are seeing first-hand the group members' innovation in applying the skills they are
discovering in ART to everyday life, thus impacting not only their own lives but also the lives of those
around them".

November 21, 2006
Privilege of the Floor by Legislators
Mr. Joseph, District No. 12 Legislator, said at the last meeting there were several individuals who
spoke of the racial implications of a letter written by Barbara Lifton in support of Peter Meskill. He said
much of the discussion was framed as a Democratic Party issue. He has reflected on that discussion and it
occurs to him that the issue is both narrower and broader than a Democratic Party. It's narrower because
it wasn't the Democratic Party that sent the letter; it was one campaign that only a few people were aware
of. It is broader because although there may be only a few people involved, the actions reflect attitudes
and stereotypes that are widespread in the larger society. If we didn't have the background of racism that
already exists the individual actions wouldn't be something that would be thought of. He, therefore, sees
this as one aspect of racism and racial attitudes that exist in our community and feels it is his
responsibility as community, government, and party leader, to confront and deal with these kinds of
things. He said racism needs to be dealt with to make it something that is unthinkable.
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, District No. 11 Legislator, spoke regarding the comments made at the last
Legislature meeting and said he would like to take a lead personally in dismantling racism in the
community and throughout government and the democratic party.
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne, District No. 2 Legislator, thanked those who attended the GIAC
(Greater Ithaca Activities Center) Harvest Festival. She said the community enjoys fellowship with
community leaders.
Mr. Dennis, District No. 15 Legislator, said he heard from former Legislator Peter Penniman,
who recently underwent major surgery. Mr. Penniman is doing well and is looking forward to returning
to doing the things he enjoys.
Chair's Report and Appointment(s)
Mr. Joseph reported on the Ithaca -Tompkins Regional Airport and said he received notification
from the Federal government that they will not be living up to their contract to pay for the security
services at the Airport which is a mandated service, specifically the escalator clause. They will continue
the requirement in the future to have Airports provide security, but it appears this is moving in the
direction of the Federal government not providing any funding. Mr. Shinagawa noted these costs are in
the hundreds of thousands of dollars and can be devastating for small, enterprise airports.
Mr. Joseph said all of the resolutions that were adopted at the NYSAC (New York State
Association of Counties) conference are available in the Clerk of the Legislature's Office.
He also reported he is in receipt of another letter from Nassau County regarding the possible
adoption of a regional cigarette tax. The letter states that their representative to the NYSAC Committee
on Taxation and Finance says that NYSAC is interested in promoting that and will have a resolution at
the January meeting supporting an optional $1.50/pack tax on cigarettes for local government.
Mr. Proto said in the news in the last several days it was announced that US Air is in the process
of trying to negotiate a takeover with Delta. Although Ithaca was not mentioned, it involved giving up
gate assignments to Southwest Air. He asked if anyone had updated information on how a potential
merger of these two airlines might affect the local Airport. Mr. Sigler said Delta rejected the deal this
morning. Mr. Shinagawa commented that the Ithaca -Tompkins Regional Airport has remained strong
with very good load factors.

RESOLUTION NO. 206 - REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION TO EXTEND THE
ADDITIONAL ONE PERCENT LOCAL SALES TAX RATE IN
TOMPKINS COUNTY
360
November 21, 2006
MOVED by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, seconded by Mr. Shinagawa. Mr. Proto spoke of what
precipitated the need for the longevity of the one percent sales tax and said there is disagreement amongst
some legislators about this. He stated back in the 1990's the County's Fund Balance was below zero and
in danger of going lower; he recalls the Board decided to institute an additional one percent sales tax for
one year or until the Fund Balance was restored and then it would be dropped. Like so many taxes,
including the Transfer Tax, he doesn't think they will be dropped.
Mr. Joseph said he recalls that when the tax was first implemented there were a number of
representatives who said they would only support it for one year but doesn't think that represented the
opinion of the entire Board.
Mr. Squires said this additional one percent sales tax represents $9.2 million.
Mr. Booth said both the sales and property taxes are regressive; however, it is his personal choice
to raise income from the sales tax because it is related to a person's ability to pay, since it is a purchase
decision.
Ms. Robertson agreed with Mr. Booth and stated that students who live in tax-exempt housing do
not pay property tax but do pay sales tax.
A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes — 12, Noes — 3 (Legislators Proto, Randall, and Sigler).
RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, this Legislature in 1991, 1992, 1994, 1996, 1998, 2001, 2003, and 2005 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 2005 expires November 30, 2007, and
WHEREAS, this Legislature has been requested by the offices of Assemblyperson 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)
$9,200,000 in reductions in County expenditures, creating a major impact on the availability of services,
or a 27 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 Committee, That this Legislature
requests that Assemblyperson Lifton, Senator Seward, Senator Nozzolio, and Senator Winner sponsor and
support legislation extending the authority of the Tompkins County Legislature to extend the additional
one percent local sales tax in Tompkins County beyond November 30, 2007, based on the same terms and
conditions included in previous legislation, to provide local property tax relief.

RESOLUTION NO. 207 - ADOPTION OF 2007 TOMPKINS COUNTY BUDGET AND 2007-2011
TOMPKINS COUNTY CAPITAL PROGRAM (See Exhibit A)
MOVED by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, seconded by Ms. Mackesey.
AMENDMENT TO 2007 TENTATIVE BUDGET — FINANCE DEPARTMENT
It was MOVED by Ms. Kiefer, seconded by Mr. Proto, to approve the following amendment. A
voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes — 9 (Legislators Dennis, Herrera, Joseph, Kiefer, Koplinka-Loehr,
361
November 21, 2006
Mackesey, McBean-Clairborne, Robertson, and Shinagawa); Noes — 6 (Legislators Booth, Hattery,
Herrera, Randall, Sigler, and Stevenson). AMENDMENT APPROVED.
WHEREAS, staffing in the Finance Department is at its lowest level in 18 years, and
WHEREAS, to avert a reduction in staff hours and avoid exposure to liability that would occur if
mandated State and Federal filing deadlines were missed, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, That $8,000 in target funding be restored by reversing LDR 221,
RESOLVED, further, That this be offset for 2007 by returning Rollover funds in the amount of
$8,000.
AMENDMENT TO 2007 TENTATIVE BUDGET —MULTIPLE REDUCTIONS
It was MOVED by Mr. Hattery, seconded by Mr. Booth, to approve the following amendment.
Mr. Hattery said he is proposing this amendment because he thinks the budget as it stands is too far away
from the target that was set many months ago and the growth in non -mandated spending is nine percent.
He said in balancing the need to provide services and the need to maintain a reasonable halt to the growth
in the tax burden he has put together a reduction package that would reduce the tax rate by approximately
one percent.
Mr. Booth said he would not support these items individually but believes as a package of items
this amendment moves in the right direction and represents a reasonable package.
Ms. Robertson disagreed and said she does not feel this represents a reasonable package as three
of the departments listed are some of the County's smallest departments. She said highway materials is
one of the largest and only seeing a slight reduction in its increase. She also said Jail boardouts is a
mandated expense and the County will be required to pay, whatever the cost.
Ms. Mackesey said she cannot support this amendment. She finds it troublesome to have put
departments and agencies through the budget process and although the end result wasn't satisfactory to
everyone she feels it is demoralizing to the people doing the hard work to have this reappear at this time.
She doesn't think it is good policy to lay off employees if it is at all possible to prevent. She is not
prepared to eliminate positions without making every effort to eliminate vacant positions first.
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne said that while she appreciates the work that went into examining ways
to make reductions, she cannot support this package as presented.
Mr. Shinagawa said he cannot support this proposal because he feels most of the items in this
resolution have already been discussed with the exception of the Planning Department positions and a
conclusion was reached. He feels the Planning Department has already endured significant cuts recently;
therefore, he cannot support that reduction.
Mr. Dennis said there are only portions of this proposal he could support but cannot support the
entire package.
Mr. Stevenson said he will support this amendment because he is constantly reminded about his
constituents concerns over the tax rate and the amount of money that is spent.
A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes — 5 (Legislators Booth, Hattery, Proto, Sigler and
Stevenson); Noes — 10. MOTION FAILED.
RESOLVED, That target funding be reduced from three Senior Planner positions to two
362
November 21, 2006
(8020.51000609) in the amount of $49,357 and associated fringe (8020.58800) in the amount of $19,249
in the Planning Department and replaced with $35,000 one-time transition funding,
RESOLVED, further, That target funding for Professional Services (7026.54400) be reduced for
the Youth Services Department by $71,000 from $368,020 to $297,020,
RESOLVED, further, That permanent funding in the Contingent Fund (1990.54400) for jail board -
outs be reduced by $75,000,
RESOLVED, further, That target funding for Highway Materials (5110.54312) be permanently
reduced by $75,000,
RESOLVED, further, That the Paralegal Aid position in the Human Rights Department is returned
to .5 FTE and reduce the target by $23,409 ($16,841 — Salary account no. 8040.51000619 and $6,568 -
Associated Fringe account no. 8040.58800).
AMENDMENT TO 2007 TENTATIVE BUDGET — OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY
PROGRAM - HEALTH DEPARTMENT
It was MOVED by Mr. Proto, seconded by Mrs. McBean-Clairborne, and unanimously adopted
by voice vote, to approve the following amendment:
RESOLVED, That $15,997 be reduced in 9040 -Workers Compensation, and be offset by an equal
fund balance appropriation as one-time funding.
AMENDMENT TO 2007 TENTATIVE BUDGET — INCREASE CONTINGENT FUND
It was MOVED by Mr. Proto, seconded by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, to increase the Contingent Fund
by $475,000 to come out of the Fund Balance. Mr. Proto explained both the Children with Special Care
Needs and Early Intervention Programs come out of the Health Department. Because the State has
changed the reimbursement rate for tuition there is a shortfall for 2006. This shortfall goes back to 2003
and amounts to approximately $1.2 million. Ms. Cole, Public Health Director, explained that it takes the
State a few years to go back and reconcile rates.
Mr. Proto said he has met with Mr. Joseph, Mr. Whicher, Mr. Squires, and Mr. Koplinka-Loehr
about this. A decision has been made to form a small committee to address this. At the present time
enough information is not available; however, he noted all counties in New York State are facing this
problem. The amount proposed in this amendment represents what Health Department staff feel will
impact the 2007 budget.
Mr. Booth asked for clarification as to what budget year this amendment addresses. Mr. Proto
responded that this amendment addresses only the 2007 budget and that staff may need to request an
adjustment of funds for 2006. That information is not available at this time. Mr. Booth questioned
whether it would be wise to adopt a budget without having this information because this could represent a
significant impact on the current budget.
Mr. Joseph said he had warmed that if PushBack, which was the local part of a Statewide effort to
get Medicaid costs under control and to force the State to take responsibility for its own actions, won on
Medicaid, New York State could come back with something else. In all the meetings that took place one
thing that was repeated was that this isn't just about Medicaid but is about all funded mandates. Mr.
Joseph said this needs to be fought at the State level and the State needs to take responsibility for its
actions.
Mr. Dennis agreed that a message needs to be sent to the State.
363
November 21, 2006
Ms. Allinger of the Health Department stated NYSAC is very involved in this issue. She also
said these services are not reimbursable through insurance.
Mr. Koplinka-Loehr said he seconded this motion because these funds will be placed as a buffer
in the Contingent Fund and a vote to appropriate those funds will be required at a later date.
Mr. Booth disclosed that his wife is employed by the Franciska Racker Center.
A voice vote on the motion resulted as follows: Ayes 15, Noes — 0.. MOTION CARRIED.
AMENDMENT TO 2007 TENTATIVE BUDGET — OFFENDER AID AND RESTORATION
(OAR)
It was MOVED by Mr. Koplinka-Loehr, seconded by Mr. Dennis, to approve the following
amendment. Mr. Koplinka-Loehr explained that when information was received regarding the Bail Fund
in October there was almost direct correlation between increasing funds for the Bail Fund leading to a
lower number of people in prison cells and boarding out. He said the Public Safety Committee also
received the same caution that OAR staffing to be able to implement the Bail Fund and other programs
needs to be stabilized and this proposal is an attempt to do that. There has been discussion of whether this
should be one-time funding but thinks enough is known about these types of intervention programs will
not only help to stabilize individuals that return to the community as well as staff to support OAR
services.
Ms. Kiefer said she would like to see a larger target increase for OAR in the long -run; however,
because there are many changes occurring at OAR including a new Director coming in she could only
support one-time funding at the present time.
A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes — 4 (Legislators Dennis, Koplinka-Loehr, Robertson, and
Shinagawa); Noes — 11. MOTION FAILED.
RESOLVED, That $36,416 one-time funding for Offender Aid and Restoration (OAR) to fund
increase in staff hours be changed to target funding.
SEQR ACTION: TYPE 11-20
At this time Ms. Jayne said at the present time the tax rate is $6.76 per thousand; the percent
change is 2.6 percent over last year's rate ($.16 increase per thousand). The tax levy is $34,795,186
which represents 5.11 percent change over last year.
A roll call vote on the amended budget resulted as follows: Ayes- 10, Noes — 5 (Legislators
Booth, Hattery, Randall, Sigler, and Stevenson). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the tentative Budget for the year 2007 and the proposed 2007-2011 Capital Program
have been presented to the Legislature by the Budget Officer on September 5, 2006, and a revised
tentative budget for the year 2007 and the proposed 2007 - 2011 Capital Program were adopted by the
Legislature for public review on October 17, and a public hearing was held on November 14, 2006, and
all persons desiring to be heard concerning same have been heard, now therefore be it

364
November 21, 2006

RESOLVED, further, That the sum of $34,795,186 required to meet expenses and costs of county
government in Tompkins County for the fiscal year 2007 as set forth in the budget be assessed against,
levied upon, and collected from the taxable property of the nine towns and the city liable therefore,
RESOLVED, further, That pursuant to Section 5.07 of the County Charter, the said proposed
capital program as amended is adopted, subject to the correction of manifest errors by the Clerk of the
Legislature and Budget Officer, as the capital program of Tompkins County for the years 2007-2011.

Budget an Capital Committee, and Norma Jayne, Executive Assistant to the County Administrator, as a
thank -you from Legislators for all their hours of work on the budget.
Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Planning, Development, and Environmental Quality
Committee
RESOLUTION NO. 208 — SUPPORT FOR ALTERNATIVE FUEL RESEARCH
MOVED by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Ms. Kiefer. Mr. Proto said he requested this be pulled
from the Consent Agenda in order to clarify that the resolution that came out of the program committee
was a combination of resolutions adopted by both the Agricultural and Farmland Protection Board and the
Environmental Management Council. He said the one that came out of the Agricultural and Farmland
Protection Board very much wanted to support the opportunity for farmers to try to develop an alternate
use for one of their crops from switch grass to orchard grass to corn. The corn piece raised some concern
with the Environmental Management Council and the Planning, Development and Environmental Quality
Committee did its best to make sure discussion from all sides is represented in the resolution that was
ultimately passed.
A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes — 15, Noes — 0. RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the United States economy in general and vehicle usage in particular are heavily
dependent on petroleum, and
WHEREAS, the current instability in most countries that supply of oil to the United States market
has had an adverse impact on our United States economy, and
WHEREAS, this economic impact continues to stress the American consumer as well as
American business, and
WHEREAS, the situation can be addressed quickly by increased conservation practices and also
addressed by higher CAFE standards and development of alternative fuels, and
WHEREAS, the opportunity to address this situation through alternative fuels has been
encouraged by the United States government, and
WHEREAS, the increased use of biomass sources for alternative fuels could encourage the
economic development and sustainability of agriculture, providing an additional income source as well as
additional employment, both directly on farms and indirectly in support industries in Tompkins County
and nationwide, and
WHEREAS, resolutions adopted by the Agricultural and Farmland protection Board on August
23, 2006, and by the Environmental Management Council on November 8, 2006, support efforts
examining alternative biofuel options and encourage continued review towards making such commodities
practical fuel alternatives, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Planning, Development and Environmental Quality
Committee, That the Tompkins County Legislature supports those efforts examining alternative biofuel
365
November 21, 2006
options and encourages our legislators at all levels, together with appropriate industry, agriculture,
educational, and environmental representatives, to continue their review towards making such
commodities practical fuel alternatives while protecting the natural and managed environments.
SEQR ACTION: NO ACTION NECESSARY
RESOLUTION NO. 209 - RESOLUTION ON THE CITY LEASH LAW RESCISSION FOR THE
FESTIVAL LANDS
MOVED by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Ms. Herrera. Ms. Herrera said although she is a City
resident, she listens and values the viewpoint of the Environmental Management Council. They are
stating an environmental review was not done and advising that if this is done, a fence should be put up.
Mr. Dennis said there are many reasons on both sides of the issue to vote in favor or against this.
As a member of the Environmental Management Council, he also believes an environmental review
should have been done.
Mr. Sigler said this was an off -leash dog park legally for a while on a trial basis. Since the trial
period expired people have used the marine park on the State land as the unofficial dog park which is
illegal. He questioned why the Environmental Management Council did not have the City perform an
environmental review when this was initially allowed to be an experimental dog park. Also, he disagrees
with the statement that there will be dogs roaming freely on State land and thinks the City could fence this
land. Mr. Sigler said this would only pertain to the Festival Lands and there is no access to the Lake from
these lands.
Ms. Mackesey said at one time there was negotiation between the City and Tompkins County dog
owners group for use of part of that land, but it was rejected by the dog group and never done, so there
never was a legal trial. She said this is some of the most spectacular of land in Tompkins County and she
will support this resolution.
Mr. Booth said the Environmental Management Council should send its opinion to City
government. He is a strong supporter of SEQR and author of the first environmental impact statement
filed under that law in the 1970's. In addition, he helped write a handbook that was widely used around
the State regarding the implementation of SEQR. However, he thinks there are a lot of decisions local
governments make that this body does not and shall not review. He does not think it is appropriate for
this Legislature to comment on this one SEQR decision by the City or to begin a process of reviewing
municipal SEQR actions.
Ms. Kiefer said as a Legislature this body approved the list of Unique Natural Areas (UNA) that
was put together by the Environmental Management Council and should be very concerned that there is
no environmental review by the City of this action, which puts a UNA at risk. There is also no provision
for keeping dogs from stepping outside the festival land boundary, therefore, she believes it is appropriate
for the Legislature to take this action. In general, however, she does not want to keep looking over the
City's shoulder.
Ms. Robertson said the urgency of this resolution is due to the fact that the Planning,
Development and Environmental Quality Committee will not be meeting again before the scheduled
opening of these lands on December 1st. She noted that this is not in opposition to a park but is a
recommendation to delay until a review could be done.
Mr. Joseph said he agreed with Mr. Booth's comments. It is clear the City is acting in violation
of the SEQR law that will open the door to lawsuits. He said it is the role of the Environmental
366
November 21, 2006
Management Council to notice and raise issues like this. He does not, however, feel it is the County's
role to tell the City it is making a bad decision.
Ms. Herrera said the action by the Environmental Management Council to weigh in and offer its
opinion on matters such as this is very appropriate and feels it is also appropriate for this Legislature to
offer an opinion on this to the City.
Mr. Proto said years ago County advisory boards were given permission to deal directly with any
legislature at any level as long as they were careful not to imply they were acting on behalf of County
government; therefore it is appropriate for the Environmental Management Council to weigh in on this.
A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes — 8 (Legislators Dennis, Herrera, Kiefer, Koplinka-
Loehr, Mackesey, McBean-Clairborne, Robertson, and Shinagawa); Noes — 7 (Legislators Booth, Hattery,
Joseph, Proto, Randall, Sigler, and Stevenson). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.
WHEREAS, the City of Ithaca Common Council has voted to rescind its leash law effective
December 1, 2006, for its Festival Lands contiguous with the Allan H. Treman State Marine Park, and
WHEREAS, no environmental review has been planned or conducted to determine the
environmental impacts of such change of law, and
WHEREAS, Common Council has directed its Board of Public Works to determine the rules and
regulations of off -leash dog usage of the Festival Lands, and
WHEREAS, dating back to 1970 the Tompkins County Environmental Management Council
(EMC) has worked collaboratively with the City of Ithaca and subsequently with the Treman State
Marine Park to establish grassland nesting areas on both properties, has designated the adjacent Hog Hole
a Unique Natural Area, and assisted the State Park to establish its master plan which includes protection
for the grasslands and the protected shoreline habitat, and
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Legislature is deeply concerned about the lack of SEQR
review and the potential impacts of off -leash dogs on the grassland nesting areas on Festival and State
Parks lands, the adjacent Hog Hole Unique Natural Area, human visitors to the State Park, and the
migratory birds that frequent the shoreline habitat of the State Park, and
WHEREAS, the EMC passed a resolution on November 8, 2006, expressing concern and urging a
full environmental review and fencing of the off -leash area, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Planning, Development, and Environmental Quality
Committee, That the Tompkins County Legislature urges the Ithaca Common Council and the Board of
Public Works to conduct a full environmental review of the action in accordance with state SEQR law,
and further be it
RESOLVED, further, That the Tompkins County Legislature strongly recommends that any off -
leash area be completely enclosed with a fence to protect the grasslands nesting areas, Hog Hole and the
shoreline bird habitat.

Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Personnel Committee
RESOLUTION NO. 210 — ESTABLISHING SALARIES AND BENEFITS OF MANAGEMENT
AND CONFIDENTIAL EMPLOYEES, 2007
MOVED by Mr. Dennis, seconded by Mrs. McBean-Clairborne. Mr. Proto said since his vote in
support of this at the Committee level, he has learned that the rate of inflation is down considerably. He
does not think the County's salaries are subject to the same scrutiny as they are in the private sector. He
will reluctantly support this resolution but would like to see efforts made in 2007 to control personnel
costs in the future. He would like a review of salaries to be done next year.

November 21. 2006
A short roll call vote resulted as follows: Ayes — 12, Noes — 3 (Legislators Booth, Hattery, and

RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Personnel Committee, That Management and
Confidential employees newly hired, reclassified, or who changed positions after January 1, 2001, are
currently salaried based upon the relevant County salary schedule,
RESOLVED, further, That all incumbents in Management positions on January 1, 2007, shall
receive an increase of 2.25 percent if their salary exceeds the relevant salary schedule or 3.0 percent if

Contract,
RESOLVED, further, That discussions will begin soon after the start of 2007 with appropriate
County staff and the appropriate Committee of the Legislature to decide on a process for approving salary
increases and benefits of Management and Confidential employees.

Special Presentation — Beautification Program
Chrys Gardner, the Coordinator for the Beautification Program, provided a PowerPoint
presentation showing the various projects that have been undertaken by various municipalities using the
grants provided and extensive volunteer participation. She explained the scope of the grants is being
amended to provide more opportunity for rural municipalities to expand beautification projects by
offering a larger grant. She shared some pictures of Niagara on the Lake, a Canadian village located in
Ontario, that has had a program in place for 30 years. She noted this community has a population base of
14,000 who welcome between 4 — 5 million tourists annually for their plantings and the summer theater.
Ms. Gardner said the rural expansion would include tree plantings, bulbs, and additional signage that
373
December 5, 2006
specifies the particular township within the County that an individual is entering. It was noted that the
grant may be split between a village and town when desired. Mr. Proto expressed gratitude for the town -
specific signage, noting many years ago signage said "Now Entering Ithaca and Tompkins County".
Chair's Report and Appointment(s)
Mr. Joseph did not have a report or any appointments.
Report from the County Administrator
Mr. Whicher provided an update on the Communications Capital Project, noting that at this time
the towers are complete, six of the required shelters are completed with the balance to be done within the
next month. Mr. Shurtleff, Mr. Potter, Mr. Krantz, and Mr. Schuler have gone to Motorola's
Schaumburg, Illinois site to see the full system deployed as well as some initial testing of the system. Mr.
Whicher said the microwave equipment will be the first on the towers and it is expected to have
deployment within the first three months of 2007, with several months of testing prior to a full
changeover of the system. He noted that the work is somewhat ahead of schedule and he is pleased with
the way the project has been progressing.
Report from the County Attorney
Mr. Wood had no report.
Report from the Finance Director
Mr. Squires provided a handout of the tax rates in towns, comparing 2006 to 2007. He reported
the Town of Ulysses opted not to take sales tax as a credit against the County, which will result in a
variance in the County tax rates. He said several towns take sales tax and apply it against the County
warrant, but when a determination is made to apply the sales tax revenue to their budget it causes a
disproportionate increase in the County tax for that municipality. In addition, he noted that for the
municipalities that do apply sales tax against their warrant, this year would also be disproportionate due to
the last three years towns were credited with extra sales tax due to the surplus that was built up as well as
the fact that sales tax in rural areas is reduced from previous years. Current sales tax credits are now
adjusted to the proper amount due for 2006 and 2007. Mr. Squires noted he was providing this
information should any Legislator receive calls from constituents regarding the higher tax rate for their
municipality.

Report from the Public Safety Committee
Mr. Booth, Vice Chair, reported the Committee will meet on December 7th.
Report from the Workforce Diversity and Inclusion Committee
There was no report from the Workforce Diversity and Inclusion Committee.
Report from the Health and Human Services Committee
Mr. Proto, Chair, reported the Committee meets on December 6th and will have a very busy
agenda. He noted there could be an addition to the agenda regarding the Berger Commission's report on
a possible closure of Lakeside Nursing Home. Mr. Proto said there will be a special meeting with staff on
Thursday regarding the potential $1.2 million shortfall for 2006 due to reimbursement fees for special
needs children. Mr. Proto reported that earlier in the day a Mass Emergency Clinic drill was held at the
Women's Community Building to determine how to best perform mass inoculations if required. A report
on this exercise will be provided at the Committee meeting. He announced there will be a flu shot clinic
taking place on December 8th from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Pyramid Mall; the cost is $30 and Medicaid Part D
patients are reminded to bring their card.
Ms. Robertson spoke of the Lakeside Nursing Home concerns, noting the State Department of
Health has been considering Lakeside's proposal to downsize their number of beds and transform part of
the operation to assisted living and adult day healthcare beds. She will be attending a hearing in Syracuse
on Monday regarding the Berger Commission report, stating the law for the State Legislature to accept all
or none of the recommendations and does not appear flexible.
Report from the Facilities and Infrastructure Committee
377
December 5, 2006
Ms. Kiefer, Vice Chair, reported the Committee met on November 28th. With regard to the
airport cleaning contract that just came before the Legislature, the company awarded the bid is a local
company who has held the contract, and the first cost of the new contract starts lower than the previous
contract. It was reported by Mr. Nicholas, Airport Manager, that he was approached by representatives of
Ansbro who expressed an interest in possible natural gas exploration on the airport premises. There are
some questions whether the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will allow drilling at the airport,
however, a corner previously determined allowable by the FAA for tower development may be possible.
A presentation by Ansbro regarding this proposal will be made in the near future. Ms. Kiefer said there is
a need to determine the site location of the new Department of Health building prior to design work being
undertaken; it will be an ongoing item on the Committee agenda to move the project forward as quickly
as possible. She reported Mr. Marx shared information regarding the Brown Road/Sapsucker Woods
Road/Route 13 intersection. The New York State Department of Transportation now reports due to
additional accident information new larger signage will be put in place to alert motorists of the
approaches, with flashing beacons placed on this new signage in the spring. If the intersection continues
to have difficulties they may consider left-hand turning lanes or closure if desired. The Committee
reviewed the Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) for 2007 that includes in priority order, Coddington,
Pine Tree, Ellis Hollow, and East King Roads, and Newfield Depot, Freese Road, W. Malloryville, and
Red Mill bridges, although there was not a priority provided for West Mallory and Red Mill bridges. The
Committee was informed that approximately 60 miles of infrastructure was upgraded during the 2006
construction season.
Mr. Proto spoke of the Harford Road bridge recent weight restriction, noting that the result
created many concerns, including recycling/garbage, plow trucks, and emergency vehicles. He suggested
that when a bridge is being weight -restricted the information be coordinated with the Emergency
Response Department in order to properly notify the local emergency responders. Mr. Proto noted that
the Solid Waste Division acted quickly when this occurred, reversing routes to be able to coordinate
continuation of services.
Report from the Personnel Committee
Mr. Dennis, Chair, reported the Committee will meet on December 13th at which time the salaries
of red -line positions will be discussed. He then reported that labor negotiations with the Road Patrol
would begin in January.
Report from the Government Operations Committee
Mr. Sigler, Vice Chair, reported the Committee has not met since the last Legislature meeting.
Mr. Proto spoke of the need to "Voice Your Choice" with regard to utility bills, noting the deadline is the
end of the month. He referred to the New York State Electric and Gas brochure's suggested questions to
ask potential suppliers, noting it was well written. He indicated it may take time to make comparisons but
could prove well -worth the effort. Ms. Robertson shared information regarding the Municipal Electric
and Gas Alliance as a potential supplier as well; she referred to David Makar's web page as a source of
information.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Planning, Development, and Environmental
Quality Committee
Ms. Robertson, Chair, reported the Committee met on November 29th, at which time they
received a report from Mr. Stamm, Executive Director of Tompkins County Area Development. Since
1973 the Industrial Development Agency (IDA) has assisted 77 projects with an average cost per job of
$3,220 compared to the average cost of $15,000 to $20,000 per job experienced by other Industrial
Development Agencies. The IDA will be working on a cost -benefit analysis that will provide additional
378
December 5, 2006
information. There will be a training for companies located within the newly established Empire Zone;
interviews have been occurring for the position of Empire Zone Coordinator as well.
Ms. Robertson spoke of the 2007 Work Program review, noting that two applications for
agricultural purchase of development rights (one in Lansing, one in Dryden) were successful and will
require additional staff time. It was discussed that due to 2007 budget cuts the advisory board staff
support will need to be reduced and Planning staff have been discussing the possibility of fewer meetings;
each advisory board will be contacted. She spoke of Ms. Hackett's report on the Cornell University
Lakesource Cooling Permit that expires in March 2008, noting Cornell's desire to reduce their
involvement and monitoring and suggestion that perhaps community-based organizations could assist
with the monitoring process. Cornell would help pay for such monitoring. Ms. Robertson said Mr. Marx
reported on the Finger Lakes Land Trust purchase of 113 acres from Babcock's in the Ithaca/Newfield
area. The Land Trust has requested $20,000 from Tompkins County's Open Space fund to assist with the
purchase and stewardship of this property. Cornell University has committed $75,000 to the project and
the Town of Ithaca is considering a request as well. Ms. Robertson said Planning would work with the
County Attorney to determine how the process would work. It will return for further discussion to the
Committee in the near future. She noted that the Land Trust would own the property and it could require
staff time for stewardship of the land. This property, part of what is known as the "Emerald Necklace", is
between two state parks and could be utilized as part of the Finger Lakes Trail.
Mr. Proto reported the Agricultural Assessment forms were sent by the Assessment Department
to all farms and require their return by no later than March 1st, which is one month earlier than last year's
requirement. If the forms are not returned farms will lose the agricultural assessment status.
RESOLUTION NO. 220 - SUPPORT FOR 2006 QUALITY COMMUNITIES PROGRAM
GRANT APPLICATION AND DESIGNATION OF
REPRESENTATIVE
MOVED by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Mr. Dennis. Mr. Proto noted that because the proposal
could traverse private property he wanted to be certain that not only would the Land Trust work with
municipalities but landowners as well. Mr. Marx indicated it would be multi -faceted and would include
not only municipalities but landowners also. Mr. Proto said he had asked the assessor to see if this
initiative would affect assessments and was informed it was unknown at this time. Mr. Proto expressed
concern about the Resolved that states That the County Administrator or his designee shall act on behalf
of Tompkins County in all matters relating to this financial assistance"; indicating a desire to have
assurance that the appropriate Committee be provided the ability to '`weigh-in" prior to any action. Mr.
Marx noted that it is a requirement of the grant that an individual act with authority in all aspects of
receiving and managing the grant and that regular reports would be given to the appropriate Committee.
In response to an inquiry from Mr. Hattery, it was noted that the Town of Dryden would be included. Mr.
Hattery then asked if the Towns had been notified of the application and was informed by Mr. Marx they
had not. Mr. Hattery expressed his inability to support the resolution due to the lack of communication
with the town. Mr. Marx said he believed some of the affected towns have been involved but the more
appropriate time to do so is upon receipt of the grant.
Ms. Robertson noted the Land Trust would be the lead agency and that the grant must be
submitted by December 18`x. Mr. Marx said this particular part of the application requires the County to
be the applicant rather than the Land Trust and County staff will be part of the planning team. It was
noted the involved towns are Newfield, Danby, Caroline, Dryden, and part of the Town of Ithaca. Mr.
Hattery noted that his discussions with Dryden officials both the chief elected official and Planner did not
indicate any conversations to date.

forested hills and valleys identified as a priority project in the 2006 New York State (NYS) Open Space
Plan, that extends across the southern portion of Tompkins and eastern portion of Schuyler County, and
WHEREAS, preparation of a plan for the Finger Lakes Trail is consistent with the Tompkins
County Comprehensive Plan, which calls for establishing an open -space program to preserve natural
resources and recreational amenities in the focus areas identified in the Comprehensive Plan, and
WHEREAS, the Finger Lakes Trail crosses through three of the Natural Features Focus Areas
identified in the Tompkins County Comprehensive Plan, and
WHEREAS, planning for the long-term protection of the Finger Lakes Trail is consistent with the

SEQR ACTION: TYPE II -21
RESOLUTION NO. 221 - APPROVAL OF BYLAWS OF THE TOMPKINS COUNTY EMPIRE
ZONE ADMINISTRATION BOARD
MOVED by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Mr. Dennis. Ms. Robertson noted she had removed the
resolution from the Consent Agenda to add the language ``amendments shall become effective upon
approval of the County Legislature" to the bylaws. Mr. Proto inquired whether Mr. Marx had the
authority to vote in his capacity of Chairman and was informed he could. Mr. Proto expressed concern
with the statement ``sense of the body resolution", while Section No. 5 requires a quorum to pass an
action. Mr. Marx stated the template was used for the bylaws. Mr. Marx believes it is a useful tool, for
example, in the event the State requires information and the advisory board does not have a full quorum it
will provide necessary input. Ms. Kiefer noted a "sense of the body" resolution is provided for in other
bylaws and is a useful way to inform absent members and interested persons of discussions and positions,
it is not an action by the board.
A voice vote on the resolution resulted as follows: Ayes — 11; Noes — 1 (Legislator Proto);
Excused — 3 (Legislators Herrera, McBean-Clairborne, and Randall). RESOLUTION ADOPTED.

areas within the County as an Empire Zone, including establishment of an Empire Zone Administration
Board, by Local Law No. 5 of 2005, and

being an addition of the section on Associate Members, now therefore be it

Committee, That the Empire Zone Administration Board Bylaws on file with the Clerk of the Legislature
be approved.

It as MOVED by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Mr. Booth, to appoint Kenny Christianson as the
At -Large representative #7 on the Environmental Management Council for a term to expire December 31,
2008. Mr. Hattery stated he recognized that Mr. Christianson's application was for a reappointment, and
that he has a particular level of expertise, however, he takes exception to the information provided in the
area of the application entitled "why are you interested in this position". He finds the particular
comments to be inappropriate and feels it does not show the proper level of maturity and respect for the
position requested and will not support the application for those reasons. Mr. Joseph agreed that the
comments made were inappropriate.
A voice vote on the motion resulted as follows: Ayes — 8; Noes — 4 (Legislators Hattery, Proto,

Report from the Workforce Diversity and Inclusion Committee
Mrs. McBean-Clairborne, Chair, thanked the Legislature for approving the Logo design earlier in
this meeting. The Committee will meet later in January.
Report and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Health and Human Services Committee
Mr. Proto, Chair, reported the Committee has met twice since the last Legislature meeting. At
the first meeting there was discussion of the Preschool Handicapped Children's Program and the Early
Intervention Program potential shortfall. The purpose of the second meeting was to discuss Lakeside
Nursing Home.
Mr. Proto said there was a question raised by a member of this Legislature with regard to
Gadabout and the $20,000 fuel adjustment that was approved, about whether there was interest in taking
the additional $5,000 that Gadabout was being awarded through the Office for the Aging and reducing the
$25,000 by that amount. It was decided that funds would be left alone because the money was being
used for fuel expenses which was the primary factor in driving that cost increase.
Mr. Proto said there was discussion approximately a month ago in regard to the shortfall in the
Preschool Handicapped Children's Program and the Early Intervention Program. The Legislature
394
December 19, 2006
increased the Contingent Fund for 2007 by $475,000 and agreed to examine the $1.5 million that was
expected to be due by the end of the year. A special meeting of the Committee was convened and it was
decided to divide the issue into three pieces. Mr. Squires assured the Committee that of the $1.5 million
the County would only be paying those items that are vouchered by the end of the year and it is unlikely
these items will be vouchered by year-end. Part of the shortfall is being driven by the change in tuition
rate and the methods by which services were being charged and delivered. He said although the
impression was the majority of this was being driven by the tuition change, it actually is being driven by
the method in which the reimbursement and actual care is being delivered to these kids. This is being
addressed by County Administration and department heads who are associated with this.
The third issue discussed was avoiding this from happening in the future. Mr. Proto said all
counties in New York State are having to deal with this issue and he has asked Chair Joseph to take this to
the upcoming NYSAC (New York State Association of Counties) Conference for discussion.
Mr. Proto also reported on other items taken up by the Committee, including approval of the
Recreation Partnership Agreement and an announcement that the ground was broken for the SRO (Single
Room Occupancy).
Mr. Booth spoke of the Preschool Handicapped Children's program and stated he does not object
to payments for these types of services; however, he questioned the legality of having a service provider
who receives payment, serve on the Committee that makes decisions with regard to these services.
Mr. Proto provided an updated on the Berger Commission Report and its impact on Lakeside
Nursing Home. He said this report came out a short time ago and suggested the closure of health care
facilities across the State, including Lakeside Nursing Home. The impact on the County is severe because
there are presently 260 beds that are approved. Over the years they have been trying to get the State
Department of Health to review a report that was submitted at least two years ago to downsize the facility
from 260 to 160 beds. It appears the Berger Commission has not reviewed that report.
Lisa Holmes, Director of the Office for the Aging, stated the recommendations that are found in
the Berger Commission report are slated to take effect on January 1st if they are not voted down by the
New York State Assembly and Senate. As of January 1, 2007, the new State Department of Health
Commissioner will have 18 months to enact the recommendations of the Berger Commission. The
Report recommends the closing of Lakeside Nursing Home which would result in the loss of 260 skilled
nursing beds. It recommends another provider step up through an RFP process to create an 80 -bed
assisted living program and a 25 slot adult day health program. Both of these programs are fully
supported by the Office for the Aging and other service providers; however., there is great concern over
the loss of the skilled nursing bed which would potentially cause a disruption of care for residents
currently in Lakeside. There are currently 164 residents at Lakeside; because there are not beds for these
individuals, many of them would need to relocate outside of Tompkins County. Ms. Holmes said
Lakeside serves a population of which 83 are funded through Medicaid. They have tried to decertify 100
of those beds because the need is for 160 rather than 260 but have been unsuccessful in receiving a
response to the report done two years ago.
Mr. Shinagawa said this Legislature has the option of only rejecting or accepting the report in its
entirety; therefore, it is being recommended that the entire Berger Commission Report be rejected.
Ms. Mackesey emphasized that between 220 to 240 jobs would be eliminated in Tompkins
County had 40 percent of nursing home beds would be eliminated if the recommendations contained in
the Berger Report are enacted. She stated this would have a tremendous negative impact on the
community. She said the Berger Commission was looking at old information about the Facility and that
major changes have taken place at Lakeside since 2000.
395
December 19, 2006
Mr. Booth stated he thinks the State Legislature will vote for this and then there will be strong
lobbying efforts to save facilities from closing. He said Tompkins County will need to align itself to
lobby for these needed beds.
Mr. Proto said he will be writing a letter to all the individuals included in the resolution. He
suggested Legislators contact State Senator Winner as he represents the district in which Lakeside is
located.
RESOLUTION NO. 238 - URGING THE REJECTION OF THE BERGER COMMISSION
REPORT — CLOSURE OF LAKESIDE NURSING AND
REHABILITATION HOME
MOVED by Mr. Proto, seconded by Ms. Mackesey, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by
members present.
WHEREAS, Lakeside Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is Tompkins County's largest skilled -
nursing facility, with a capacity of 260 beds, and
WHEREAS, Lakeside Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is an important component of the
continuum of long-term care in Tompkins County, and
WHEREAS, the recommendations of the Berger Commission's Plan to Stabilize and Strengthen
New York's Health Care System call for the closure of Lakeside Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, and
WHEREAS, Lakeside is home to 164 of Tompkins County's frailest and most vulnerable
citizens, many of whom would need to be moved out of County in order to be served at an appropriate
level of care, placing an unnecessary hardship on these residents, their caregivers, and their families, and
WHEREAS, Lakeside's closure will result in the termination of 230 employees, representing up
to $7,000,000 in annual salaries and benefits, and
WHEREAS, Lakeside's closure will reduce Tompkins County's total capacity of skilled- nursing
beds by 260, leaving an estimated shortage of up to 155 skilled nursing beds, and
WHEREAS, the impact of Lakeside's closing on Cayuga Medical Center, our local hospital,
would be severe, as the length of stay would be increased while awaiting the transitioning of patients from
the hospital to skilled nursing care, and
WHEREAS, the older population of Tompkins County is steadily increasing, and by 2025, there
will be a 14.3 percent increase in residents over age 85, the age group most likely to require skilled -
nursing care, and
WHEREAS, Lakeside's right -sizing plan addressing the needs identified in the Berger
Commission Report, was submitted to the New York State Department of Health prior to any review by
the Berger Commission, and was apparently not reviewed by the Berger Commission, and
WHEREAS, the goals of the Berger Commission could be achieved without disrupting the
network of skilled nursing care in Tompkins County, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Health and Human Services Committee. That the Tompkins
County Legislature urges the rejection of the Berger Commission Report, as there apparently is no
opportunity to remove individual facilities from the closure list,
RESOLVED, further, That if the report's rejection is not possible, postponement of its
implementation would be desirable, in order to assemble a team to work with the appropriate State
personnel to initiate changes, some of which have already been underway, that would preserve this
facility for our community and some of our neediest residents,
RESOLVED, further, That copies of this resolution be sent to Governor George Pataki, Governor
Elect Eliott Spitzer, Senators Seward, Nozzolio, and Winner, and Assemblyperson Lifton, Health
Committee Chairs Senator Kemp Hannon and Assemblyman Richard Gottfried, and New York State
Association of Counties.

members present.
WHEREAS, the Intermunicipal Recreation Partnership has successfully served thousands of
young people throughout Tompkins County operating under a five-year agreement that expires December
2006, and
WHEREAS, the Recreation Partnership's governing board has begun but not yet concluded its
internal reflection and process of seeking input from all municipal partners to evaluate and update the
partnership agreement for the next five-year period, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Health and Human Services Committee, That Tompkins
County agrees to extend its participation in the current Intermunicipal Recreation Partnership Agreement
through December 31, 2007,
RESOLVED, further, That all terms, conditions, and financial commitments related to the
Agreement remain in force through December 2007,
RESOLVED, further, That Tompkins County will take prompt action on the proposed agreement
for the period 2008-2012 to be prepared by the Recreation Partnership's governing board by May 2007.

Report, Withdrawal and Presentation of Resolution(s) from the Facilities and Infrastructure
Committee
Ms. Kiefer, Vice Chair, reported the Committee met on December 12°'. The Commissioner of
Planning and Public Works reported on a meeting he attended at Cornell University on the subject of bio -
diesel fuel use for fleet. A lot of interest was expressed at this meeting about using five percent bio -
diesel, using soybean as a source for bio. She noted there would be no need for any equipment
modification for this. Parties that expressed interest were Cornell University, Ithaca College, the Ithaca
City School District, TCAT, Inc., the Town of Ithaca, and Tompkins County. Ms. Kiefer said the
Committee also discussed Committee goals and will be passing along suggestions to next year's
committee. Discussion of matters pertaining to the Health Department building will be taken up next
year by a special committee. The Committee received a presentation on a proposed reuse center; a
summary report is on file in the Legislature Office The Committee also reviewed the 2007 highway
construction plan and supported road swaps with the Towns of Ithaca and Ulysses. These resolutions will
be withdrawn because there needs to be some technical corrections that need to be made.
agenda:
At this time, Ms. Kiefer was given permission to withdraw the following resolutions from the
- Acquisition of a Section of Krums Corners Road and Iradell Extensiion from Town of Ulysses
- Abandonment of Aagard Road and Falls Road to Town of Ulysses
- Acquisition of a Section of Game Farm Road and Burns Road from Town of Ithaca
- Abandonment of Bundy Road to Town of Ithaca
Report from the Air Service Task Force
Mr. Shinagawa, Member, reported the number of enplanements was down during the past month
but only because of bad weather conditions in addition to a technical problem at the Airport that has been
fixed. Load factors are significantly up — For Northwest Airlines, load factors for the month of November
were 81 percent (68 percent last year); for US Airways, load factors for the month of November were 56
percent (49 percent last year). Also, there is new management at the Cafe and the Cafe is making a profit.
This results in a $30,000 savings to the County because the County does not have to contribute towards
397
December 19, 2006
the cost of the Cafe and receives a 25 percent share of its profits. Mr. Shinagawa said the Air Service
Task Force continues to negotiate for better fares to New York City.

Section 1. Chapter 150 of the Tompkins County Code is amended by adding a new Article XI which
shall read as follows:
Article XI
Tax on Real Estate Transfers
§150 —54. Tax Imposed.
Pursuant to Article 31-G of New York State Tax Law a tax is hereby imposed on each
conveyance of real property or interest therein in Tompkins County when the consideration
exceeds five hundred dollars, at a rate of one dollar for each five hundred dollars or fractional
part thereof.
§150-55. Commencement Date.
This tax shall apply to any conveyance occurring on or after December 1, 2006, but shall not
apply to conveyances made on or after December 1, 2006, pursuant to binding written
contracts entered into prior to such date, provided that the date of the execution of such
contract is confirmed by independent evidence such as the recording of the contract, payment
of a deposit, or other facts and circumstances as determined by the County Finance Director.
§150-56. Payment of Tax.
The Real Estate Transfer Tax shall be paid to the Finance Director or the Tompkins County
Clerk or other recording officer acting as the agent of the Finance Director upon designation
as such agent by the Finance Director. Such tax shall be paid at the same time as the Real
Estate Transfer Tax imposed by Article thirty-one of the New York State Tax Law is required
to be paid. The Finance Director or recording officer shall endorse upon each deed or
instrument affecting a conveyance a receipt for the amount of the tax so paid.
A return shall be required to be filed with the Finance Director or recording officer for
purposes of the Real Estate Transfer Tax imposed pursuant to this local law at the same time
as a return is required to be filed for purposes of the Real Estate Transfer Tax imposed by
Article thirty-one. The return, for purposes of the Real Estate Transfer Tax imposed pursuant
to this local law, shall be a photocopy or carbon copy of the Real Estate Transfer Tax return
required to be filed pursuant to section fourteen hundred nine of New York State Tax Law.
However, when an apportionment is required to be made pursuant to Section 150-62, a
supplemental form shall also be required to be filed. The Real Estate Transfer Tax returns
and supplemental forms required to be filed pursuant to this Section shall be preserved for
three years and thereafter until the Finance Director or recording officer orders them to be
destroyed.
The recording officer shall not record an instrument affecting a conveyance unless the return
required by this Section has been filed and the tax imposed pursuant to this Article shall have
been paid as provided in this Section.
§150-57. Liability for Tax.
407
Tompkins County Proceedings
The real estate transfer tax shall be paid by the grantor. If the grantor has failed to pay the tax
or if the grantor is exempt from such tax, the grantee shall have the duty to pay the tax.
Where the grantee has the duty to pay the tax because the grantor has failed to pay, such tax
shall be the joint and several liability of the grantor and the grantee.
For the purpose of the proper administration of this article and to prevent evasion of the tax
hereby authorized, it shall be presumed that all conveyances are taxable. Where the
consideration includes property other than money, it shall be presumed that the consideration
is the fair market value of the real property or interest therein. These presumptions shall
prevail until the contrary is proven, and the burden of proving the contrary shall be on the
person liable for payment of the tax.
§ 150-58. Exemptions.
The following shall be exempt from payment of the real estate transfer tax:
A. The State of New York, or any of its agencies, instrumentalities, political
subdivisions, or public corporations (including a public corporation created pursuant
to agreement or compact with another state or the dominion of Canada);
B. The United Nations, the United States of America and any of its agencies and
instrumentalities.
The exemption of such governmental bodies or persons shall not, however, relieve a grantee
from them of liability for the tax.
The tax shall not apply to any of the following conveyances:
A. Conveyances to the United Nations, the United States of America, the State of New
York, or any of their instrumentalities, agencies or political subdivisions (or any
public corporation, including a public corporation created pursuant to agreement or
compact with another state or the dominion of Canada);
B. Conveyances that are or were used to secure a debt or other obligation;
C. Conveyances that, without additional consideration, confirm, correct, modify, or
supplement a prior conveyance;
D. Conveyances of real property without consideration and otherwise than in connection
with a sale, including conveyances conveying realty as bona fide gifts;
E. Conveyances given in connection with a tax sale;
F. Conveyances to effectuate a mere change of identity or form of ownership or
organization where there is no change in beneficial ownership, other than
conveyances to a cooperative housing corporation of the real property comprising the
cooperative dwelling or dwellings;
G. Conveyances that consist of a deed of partition;
H. Conveyances given pursuant to the federal bankruptcy act;
408
Tompkins County Proceedings
I. Conveyances of real property that consist of the execution of a contract to sell real
property without the use or occupancy of such property or the granting of an option
to purchase real property without the use or occupancy of such property; and
J. Conveyances of an option or contract to purchase real property with the use or
occupancy of such property where the considerationis less than two hundred
thousand dollars and such property was used solely by the grantor as his personal
residence and consists of a one, two or three-family house, an individual residential
condominium unit, or the sale of stock in a cooperative housing corporation in
connection with the grant or transfer of a proprietary leasehold covering an individual
residential cooperative unit.
§ 150-59. Credit.
A grantor shall be allowed a credit against the tax due on a conveyance of real property to the
extent tax was paid by such grantor on a prior creation of a leasehold of all or a portion of the
same real property or on the granting of an option or contract to purchase all or a portion of
the same real property, by such grantor. Such credit shall be computed by multiplying the tax
paid on the creation of the leasehold or on the granting of the option or contract by a fraction,
the numerator of which is the value of the consideration used to compute such tax paid that is
not yet due to such grantor on the date of the subsequent conveyance (and that such grantor
will not be entitled to receive after such date), and the denominator of which is the total value
of the consideration used to compute such tax paid.
§ 150-60. Cooperative Housing Corporation Transfers.
The provisions of Article 31-G of the State Tax Law shall govern transfers involving
Cooperative Housing Corporations.
§150-61. Deposit and Disposition of Revenue.
The Finance Director or his duly authorized agent shall be responsible for the deposit of
revenue collected or received from the tax imposed. The Finance Director shall maintain a
system of accounts showing the revenue collected or received from the tax imposed. All
revenue derived from the imposition of such tax shall be deposited into the general fund of
the County of Tompkins.
§150-62. Apportionment.
The amount of tax due whenever the real property or interest therein is situated within and
without the County of Tompkins shall be in proportion to the value of the property in the
County of Tompkins relative to the value outside the County.
§150.-63. Violations.
A. Whenever any person shall fail to pay any tax, penalty, or penalty of interest imposed
by this local law, the County Attorney shall, upon the request of the Finance Director,
bring or cause to be brought an action to enforce the payment of the same on behalf
of the County in any court of the State of New York or of any other State or of the
United States. The person who fails to pay the tax, penalty, or penalty of interest
shall be responsible for all costs and attorney fees associated with the proceeding.
409
Tompkins County Proceedings
B. Any grantor or grantee failing to tile a return or to pay any tax within the time
required by this local law shall be subject to a penalty of ten per centum of the
amount of tax due plus an interest penalty of two per centum of such amount for each
month of delay or fraction thereof after the expiration of the first month after such
return was required to be filed or such tax became due, such interest penalty shall not
exceed twenty-five per centum in the aggregate. llf the Director of Finance
determines that such failure or delay was due to reasonable cause and not due to
willful neglect, the commissioner shall remit, abate or waive all of such penalty and
such interest penalty.
