Dear Paul,

Patty O'Mara
Please consider this letter a preview to a later and more formal presentation to
your Covid Relief Fund Allocations Committee as we seek resources for the continued
growth of Gutchess Lumber Sports Complex (GLSC) in the Town of Cortlandville.
To date, the Town has allocated more than $4 million for the construction of two
top -tier baseball playing surfaces and related amenities. In the second year of GLSC
operations has generated more than $1.3 million in economic impact in the community.
That early success has now resulted in a contract with a national baseball scouting
organization that will help us build two additional fields -- a major step forward in our
plans to develop the GLSC facility as a northeastern sports tourism destination.
We have been fortunate to lean on a variety of partners as we've moved forward
with the GLSC project, including the. Gutchess family, the State of New York, the
Cortland Regional Sports Council, The Cortland County Business Development
Corporation, the City of Cortland, and many, many more. Now, as we undertake the
"next level" development of the GLSC, we respectfully invite Cortland County's
partnership, as well.

A County allocation of $500,000 ($250,000 for each of the two years in which the
Federal Covid Relief Funding will be available) to help underwrite the field construction
will be critical to our plans for continued development of the GLSC as a Countywide
asset not just for its ability to attract tourism dollars but also for its standing as a top
recreational facility for local residents (we've already built a pavilion, an accessible
playground and new restroom facilities and are in planning for new walking trails
connecting the GLSC to Lime Hollow Nature Center).
With more than 50 acres left to develop on GLSC and with key relationships that
can lead to even more impactful growth, few Counties in this region can, or likely will,
match this tremendous opportunity to grow business, create jobs, and stimulate capital
investment.
We look forward to further discussion about how Cortland County may join us in this
exciting venture.
Best regards,
Tom Williams, Supervisor

have acted as an agent of SUBRECIPIENT, and have violated the terms of this Agreement.
COUNTY may consider this use or disclosure a material breach of this Agreement.
3. By signing this Agreement, SUBRECIPIENT is assuring COUNTY it has met the minimum
safeguards necessary to protect unauthorized use or disclosure of PHI to any person or entity not
party to this Agreement. Such safeguards shall include the security safeguards outlined by the
1996 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and subsequent federal regulation,
including: physical access to PHI, technical access to PHI, and administrative policies and
procedures addressing security of PHI.
4. Provider shall report to COUNTY any instance or circumstance in which PHI has been used or
disclosed by an unauthorized person or entity, including accidental disclosure by
SUBRECIPIENT. SUBRECIPIENT shall notify COUNTY in writing of any steps or procedural
changes made to address the unauthorized use or disclosure.
5. Should COUNTY find PHI used of disclosed to SUBRECIPIENT to be inaccurate or incomplete,
SUBRECIPIENT shall incorporate any amendments or corrections to the PHI at COUNTY's
request.
6. SUBRECIPIENT will make PHI available to the individual who is the subject of the PHI for
amendment. Such requests by the individual for their PHI from SUBRECIPIENT will be made
through County. SUBRECIPIENT will incorporate any amendments to PHI that have been made
by COUNTY by virtue of the individual's request for amendment.
7. SUBRECIPIENT will provide a timely accounting to the individual or to COUNTY, if requested
by either, of the disclosures of an individual's PHI.
8. Should SUBRECIPIENT make any material alterations to the PHI while the PHI is in its
possession, SUBRECIPIENT shall notify COUNTY of such alterations so that COUNTY may
inform the patient who is the subject of the PHI.
9. At the termination of this Agreement, SUBRECIPIENT shall return or destroy to the satisfaction
of COUNTY any PHI held or maintained by SUBRECIPIENT and retain no copies of such
information. If COUNTY and SUBRECIPIENT mutually agree that returning or destroying the
PIII is not feasible or permitted under law, the PHI will remain protected after this agreement
16
ends for as long as SUBRECIPIENT maintains the information. Further uses or disclosures of the
PHI will be limited to those purposes that make the return or destruction infeasible.
(F) If COUNTY determines SUBRECIPIENT has violated any of the above assurances, covenants or
terms, the SUBRECIPIENT has committed a material breach of this Agreement. COUNTY may then
provide SUBRECIPIENT with an opportunity to cure the breach or may terminate this Agreement
and may report the violations to the Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") or other
federal or state entity for possible prosecution or sanctions.
(G) Both parties to this agreement agree that they will protect the integrity and confidentiality of any PHI
being shared electronically.
(H) SUBRECIPIENT hereby gives COUNTY and the Department of Health and Human Services (or an
agent acting on behalf of HHS) the express right to inspect any and all internal practices, books, and
records relating to the use or disclosure of PHI by SUBRECIPIENT. If HHS suspects an unauthorized
use or disclosure of PHI by SUBRECIPIENT, HHS is authorized to pursue an investigation into
SUBRECIPIENT's activities for the purposes of determining whether an unauthorized use or
disclosure of PHI has taken place.
(I) SUBRECIPIENT may have policies and procedures relating to privacy and security in place prior to
the commencement of this Agreement. If, after reasonable investigation, COUNTY concludes
SUBRECIPIENT's policies and procedures to be "adequate" protection of a patient's privacy rights
relating to PHI, SUBRECIPIENT may elect to continue to use its own policies and procedures. The
terms "adequate" in this clause means SUBRECIPIENT's policies and procedures meet the minimum
privacy and security standards as set forth in COUNTY's privacy and security policies and
procedures.
(J) COUNTY, through the appropriate Department will:
1. provide SUBRECIPIENT with its Privacy Notice;
2, provide SUBRECIPIENT with any changes in, or revocation of, permission by a patient to use or
disclose PHI, if such changes affect SUBRECIPIENT's permitted or required uses or disclosures;
and
3. notify SUBRECIPIENT of any restriction to the use or disclosure of PHI to which the COUNTY
has agreed.
(K) Implement administrative, physical, and technical safeguards that reasonably and
appropriately protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the electronic protected
health information (ePHI) that it creates, receives, maintains, or transmits on behalf of
Cortland County.
(L) Ensure that any agent, including a subcontractor, to whom Contractor provides ePHI agrees
to implement reasonable and appropriate safeguards to protect this information.
17
(M) Report to Security Officer of Cortland County any security incidents of which it becomes
aware. (A security incident is defined as the attempted or successful unauthorized access,
use, disclosure, modification, or destruction of information or interference with system
operations in an information system.)
