She says they find occasionally there is a lapse so they are trying to correct that.

She says the Chairman will be meeting with the Mayor to discuss the project as well. Lattimore asks about the financing. Sinclair says she does not really have anything to report on the financing. Lattimore says the city mentioned they don’t want to have it on their books. Batman says he is unaware of which way they are going with financing. Farrell says they are thinking different ways with financing they are looking at different avenues and maybe CCDC would be involved but nothing has been solidified. He says as far as our interest goes it is his understanding that we have an interest to find out more information from the city to see if we want to be involved.

Mark Farrell, Chair Ways and Means Committee WHEREAS, Cayuga County (the “County”) annually forecloses on tax delinquent properties located in numerous towns and villages within its jurisdiction; and WHEREAS, in some cases, the County has insufficient information regarding the environmental condition of tax delinquent properties and withdraws said parcels from the tax foreclosure process to avoid the potential liability associated with ownership of environmentally contaminated parcels, and WHEREAS, due to the potential environmental concerns, a number of parcels have continued to accrue real property tax liens that have not resulted in completion of the tax foreclosure and auction process, and WHEREAS, consequences of failing to foreclose on these sites includes, but is not limited to: 1. Creating abandoned, poorly maintained properties in our communities; 2. Requiring county taxpayers to subsidize the cost of services provided for by the several municipalities and school districts; 3. Allowing unknown environmental concerns to remain uninvestigated; and WHEREAS, New York State Environmental Conservation Law § 56-0508 provides for the County’s examination of properties to determine the extent, if any, of environ- mental concerns with a specific parcel whereby the county may submit a petition to the Court seeking “temporary incidents of ownership,” as follows: 1. Upon commencement of a foreclosure proceeding, petition the Court, on 20 days’ notice to all parties having any right, title, interest or lien upon the property, for an order granting it temporary incidents of ownership to enter the property and conduct an environmental restoration investigation project. 2. Propose terms and conditions to allow the County to perform an unhin- dered environmental investigation appropriate time to conduct the investigation, terms to assure access for County personnel and its envi- ronmental consultant, ensure the delinquent taxpayer cannot interfere with the investigation, flexible investigation scope, property restoration, work to be conducted on notice at reasonable times of day, etc.). 3. The Court order will stay the foreclosure proceeding action until the environmental restoration investigation project is complete and the County files the final investigation report with the Court. 4. Based on the results of the environmental restoration investigation project, the County will decide whether to proceed with the foreclosure or with- draw the parcel from the foreclosure process.

RESOLUTION NO. 37-16 1-26-16 HD CAFO 2016 AUTHORIZING THE CHAIRMAN OF THE LEGISLATURE TO MAKE COMMENT ON THE DRAFT CAFO PERMITS BY: Joseph Bennett, Chairman of the Health & Human Service Committee Mark Farrell, Chairman of the Ways & Means Committee WHEREAS, Cayuga County is fortunate to have numerous water bodies within and on its borders as well as abundant high quality ground water; and WHEREAS, the water quality of surface water bodies in Cayuga County has de- clined in recent years due to activities within the watershed, and the presence of cyanobacteria blooms is unfortunately becoming common place throughout Cayuga County; and WHEREAS, individual water wells in Cayuga County have on occasion been pol- luted by activities near the wells’ recharge areas; and WHEREAS, protecting the quality of our water resources is essential for the benefit and well-being of county residents; and WHEREAS, viable and sustainable farms and agriculture-related businesses are the major economic drivers of our local economy. Agriculture is understood and celebrated by our local communities as a significant contributor of jobs, open space and beautiful rural character, and as a healthy source for fresh, local foods; and WHEREAS, a Manure Management Working Group in Cayuga County was created following a number of manure runoff incidents that occurred in the winter of 2013-2014 to consider issues and activities associated with the storage, application, processing, and transport of manure within Cayuga County watersheds and recommend policies and guidelines aimed at minimizing the negative impact on water quality. It is clear from the many public meetings that were held by this working group that farmers and non-farmers alike support sustainable agricultural practices that protect water quality; and Tuesday, January 26, 2016 ---PAGE BREAK--- 30 WHEREAS the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) has released draft permits for allowable manure handling activities at Concen- trated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO) which will have implications for the water quality of Cayuga County’s water resources far beyond the expiration date of the 5 year permit period; and WHEREAS, the Cayuga County Water Quality Management has advised the Cayuga County legislature that their review of the draft CAFO permits revealed deficiencies in the permits that will result in continued degradation of our water resources; NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Cayuga County Legislature requests that the NYSDEC take into serious consideration the following comments prepared by the regarding the draft CAFO permits No. GP-0-16-001 and No. GP-0-16-002. 1. Additional time should be provided for review and comment of the draft permits. The draft CAFO permits were released on December 23, 2015 and made available for public review and comment only until February 7, 2016. Releasing the draft immediately before the holiday season made it difficult to review the draft permits in a detailed manner during the time constraints provided. 2. The CAFO permits should clearly specify the field conditions which must exist and the management practices which must be followed in order to spread manure. The draft permit does not define terms such as satu- rated, fluid-saturated, and frozen-saturated, conditions under which ma- nure applications cannot be made, and does not even mention weather conditions, such as precipitation and snowmelt conditions. The Advisory Committee to the Cayuga County Manure Management Working Group, which was comprised of farmers as well as non-farmers, expressed con- cern last year that the lack of specificity within the Nutrient Management (Code 590) Standard allows the Standard to be interpreted in ways that do not support the reduction of manure runoff to the extent possible. The draft permits fail to address this need for specificity. 3. Adequate review of comprehensive nutrient management plans (CNMP) and oversight of certified planners are currently lacking in the draft per- mits. In the past, farms following comprehensive nutrient management plans prepared by certified planners have experienced significant runoff. Plans, once they are created, do not receive a rigorous review by an objec- tive third party and planners have been shown to be inattentive to impor- tant specific details on the farm resulting in significant problems. Cornell University, in their 2015 publication, “Revised Winter and Wet Weather Manure Spreading Guidelines to Reduce Water Contamination Risk”, states that runoff events that have occurred in New York in recent years rein- force the idea that following the CNMP is not enough to avoid a water quality problem or related fine to the farmer. The draft CAFO permits do not address this significant deficiency. We request that the State provide adequate resources and provide for an objective third party review of the Tuesday, January 26, 2016 ---PAGE BREAK--- 31 4. The need for adequate manure storage capacity should be specified in the CAFO permits. Cornell University, in their 2015 publication, “Revised Winter and Wet Weather Manure Spreading Guidelines to Reduce Water Contamination Risk”, states that it is most important that managers en- sure the farm has adequate storage for all types of manure to minimize the risk that manure needs to be applied when runoff risk is high. This important issue, however, is not included in the draft permits. 5. The overflow of manure from a farm field into a road ditch should be considered a violation. The draft currently states that such an overflow is only a violation if it discharges directly into surface waters of the State. The phosphorus in manure that enters a storm ditch may eventually reach surface water increasing the risk of water quality degradation and cyanobacteria blooms. To exempt this overflow from regulation is a seri- ous flaw in these permits which are intended to protect water quality. 6. Acceptable spreading conditions on tile drained fields should be specified. Cornell University in their 2015 publication, “Revised Winter and Wet Weather Manure Spreading Guidelines to Reduce Water Contamination Risk” states that manure should not be applied during high risk conditions which includes when tile drains are flowing from field drainage. This important consideration is lacking in the draft permits. 7. The draft general permits specify that applications of manure, litter, food processing waste, digestate, and process wastewater may not be made on either fluid-saturated or frozen-saturated soils. They also state, however, that in addition, all waste applications must be made in accordance with requirements specified in subsequent paragraphs. Subsequent paragraphs include those addressing application during adverse spreading conditions. Adverse spreading conditions is defined as soil that is “...frozen snow covered or encumbered by significant surface icing.” If appli- cation on frozen soil is allowed, it is more than likely that applications will occur on frozen-saturated soil at times when it is difficult or practically impossible to determine (especially after the fact) that the soil was not saturated before it froze. The provisions of the permits should be revised since in their present form they would create confusion with respect to winter spreading and might provide a potential loophole in winter spread- ing restrictions. 8. CAFOs should be required to notify NYSDEC if they increase their heard size by 50 cows. The draft permit states that farms only need to notify DEC if they increase their heard by 20%. For a farm with 1000 cows, which is a medium sized operation in Cayuga County, an operator would not need to notify NYSDEC if they added 199 cows, which is equivalent to 24,000 pounds of manure a day. This large increased quantity of manure generated certainly needs to be accounted for. 9. The term “appropriate agricultural utilization of the nutrients in manure” should be defined. The draft permits state that the discharge of manure, defined as a release of manure into the surface waters of the State, that is precipitation-related, is exempt from regulation if the manure was applied in accordance with site specific nutrient management practices that ensure Tuesday, January 26, 2016 ---PAGE BREAK--- 32 appropriate agricultural utilization of the nutrients in manure. Manure that is placed on the field in a manner that it runs off during a precipitation event is not an appropriate agricultural utilization of the nutrients in manure. 10. The draft permits refer to a 2015 Revised Cornell Guide titled “Supple- mental Manure Spreading Guidelines to Reduce Water Contamination Risk During Adverse Weather Conditions.” A 2015 publication with that title does not exist. Cornell University’s 2015 publication on this topic is titled “Revised Winter and Wet Weather Manure Spreading Guidelines to Re- duce Water Contamination Risk.” Signed by Bennett, Baxter, DeForest, Didio, Mahunik, McNabb-Coleman, Whitman, Farrell, Foley, Pinckney, and Vitale, all in favor.

Computer Equipment and Storage Media Transfer, Reuse, Reassignment or Disposal Policy. ; now, therefore be it RESOLVED, the County Legislature does hereby adopt the attached amended Fixed Asset Policy; and be it further RESOLVED, that said amended policy number 60a in the County Policy Manual be distributed by the Clerk of the Legislature to all County Department Heads; and it is further RESOLVED, that this resolution will take effect immediately upon adoption CAYUGA COUNTY POLICY 60a Fixed Asset Policy Subject: CAYUGA COUNTY PURCHASING POLICY REGARDING FIXED AS- SETS Effective Date: 1-26-16 Resolution Supersedes Policy of: 9-25-12 Resolution No. 350-12 GENERAL COUNTY PROPERTY The following policies and procedures document a fixed asset system designed to in- crease control over those assets for which the County has stewardship responsibility. The intent of these policies is to obtain accountability over our assets, provide central- ized documentation for insurance purposes, meet financial reporting needs, and generate asset management information. The Legislature gives the County Administrator the responsibility not only to purchase, but also to inventory, dispose of and/or transfer supplies, materials and equipment. Each department head has the ultimate responsibility to conduct and maintain the indi- vidual inventory pertaining to that department. It is also the responsibility of the department head to evaluate on a continuing basis the suitability and need for materials, supplies and equipment. If they should become obsolete by reason of age, wear, or technical advancement or should become surplus, unnecessary for the operation of his/ her department, the department should notify the Treasurer’s Office with the details and condition of the item for swap or disposals. The Department then shall complete a work order to the Buildings department to have the item removed either by the County Auction or disposal. Tuesday, January 26, 2016 ---PAGE BREAK--- 37 TYPES OF ASSETS There are four types of assets: 1. Fixed assets – all items valued more than $5000 2. Inventoried assets – items less than $5000 which are vital to county operations and are susceptible to theft. 3. Any Grant related equipment if the grant specifications require that the equipment be tracked or may need to be returned to the grantor at the end of the grant period. 4. Any equipment given to the County by the State or other source that meets the same specifications Required for County purchased equipment. All inventoried assets must be tagged unless their physical characteristics make tagging not practical. All assets are recorded in a centralized database, in the County Treasurer’s Office. The County Auditor will ensure each department has supplied documentation about such assets to the Treasurer’s Office. INVENTORY POLICY Physical inventory of inventoried items will be done each year. The County Auditor will check the department for actual inventory against the centralized database on a three- year rotation with particular attention to disposals. FIXED ASSETS Fixed assets are defined as those properties the County of Cayuga retains more or less permanently, not for sale, but for utilization in the normal course of operations Fixed assets will always imply tangible fixed assets. The general accepted practice, as in Cayuga County, is to record and report fixed assets at their historical acquisition cost. The cost of a fixed asset should include all expenses of transporting the asset to the proper location and placing it in the condition necessary for its intended use. The County Auditor and the Administrator’s Department staff will conduct periodic spot checks of fixed assets to verify accuracy of the County records and to assure county departments are prepared for New York State Auditors’. Upon receipt of an asset valued over $5,000.00 the County Auditor will issue a sequen- tially numbered inventory tag to be attached to the new asset. The department will receive a Pending Asset Worksheet, which must be completed and returned before receiv- ing an inventory tag. Each department has an assigned Inventory Manager who is responsible for tagging all new assets. Tags are necessary to provide positive identification of an asset; it also provides a quick and accurate method of identifying assets during the annual physical inventory. If a tag is lost or damaged the department inventory manager should contact the County Auditor for a replacement tag. ASSETS ACQUIRED THROUGH CAPITAL PROJECTS Projects in process will be recorded in the annual financial statements as Construction in Progress. They will not be added to the fixed asset schedules. As projects are completed and ready for use they will be added to the fixed asset sched- ules from the Treasurer’s Office. Tuesday, January 26, 2016 ---PAGE BREAK--- 38 DISPOSAL Disposal shall be defined as: (Duties performed by the department.) A. Offering items to other municipalities, with the exception of vehicles. B. Acceptance and fulfillment of sealed bids received after an advertisement is placed in the designated newspapers in the form of a legal notice listing the items for sale C. Sale through a public auction, with the exception of vehicles. D. Trash removal E. Recycling Any sale or transfer of vehicle will need to go through the Clerk of the Legislature Office as documents will need to be signed, insurance cancelled and plates turned in. DISPOSITION OF SURPLUS ITEMS POLICY (VEHICLES) The disposal of obsolete vehicles, trailers, anything that would require a signature on the title and is no longer used or needed by a County Department will be handled in the following manner: Surplus items are any items that the County is no longer in need of. They may or may not have value. All Title documents that require a signature will be processed by the Clerk of the Legis- lature. 1. Items with a value A. All Vehicles/Trailers/Boats purchased, must be done by resolution. Vehicles/ trailers that are being replaced by a new vehicle/trailer will be done by resolu- tion with the following clause: RESOLVED, that one existing vehicle will be delivered to the Clerk of the Cayuga County Legislature for disposal upon receipt of a replacement vehicle.

RESOLUTION NO. 62-16 1.26.16 COA support financial support of indigent defense services rev4 RESOLUTION CALLING ON THE STATE TO DEVELOP A 100 PERCENT STATE FUNDED INDIGENT LEGAL DEFENSE SYSTEM AS A WAY TO PROVIDE MANDATE RELIEF AND LOWER PROPERTY TAXES BY: Hon. Patrick Mahunik, chair Judicial and Public Safety Committee Hon. Mark Farrell, chair Ways and Means Committee WHEREAS, the United States Supreme Court held in Gideon v. Wainwright that the right to counsel for one charged with a crime is fundamental and that it is the state’s responsibility to supply lawyers for those unable to afford them; and WHEREAS, in 1965 the State of New York delegated this state responsibility to the counties; and WHEREAS, the decision to entrench responsibility at the county level in the State of New York has resulted in a system by which the County and local property taxpay- ers are burdened with the vast majority of the cost of this state responsibility; and WHEREAS, the shift of costs for this state mandated service has become so imbalanced that the counties of New York now cover more than 80% of the cost burden; and WHEREAS, implementation of the constitutional right to counsel under Gideon is a state, not county, obligation; and WHEREAS, in 2006 the Kaye Commission on the Future of Indigent Defense Services declared that the New York State System of County-Delivered Indigent Services is in crisis and urged the expeditious establishment of an Independent Public Defense Commission; and WHEREAS, the State of New York and multiple counties are now defendants, and recently entered into a settlement, in the matter of Hurrell-Harring, et al. v. State of Nell’ York, a systemic lawsuit similar to many that have been successful across the country seeking to transform the indigent legal defense system; and WHEREAS, the settlement will have a profound fiscal impact on the state and each and every county therein; and WHEREAS, the state can both comply with its obligations under the settlement and significantly improve the public defense system by establishing a I 00 percent state funded indigent legal defense program ; and WHEREAS, such a state funded system would relieve the counties of this state of the burden imposed upon them since 1965and Tuesday, January 26, 2016 ---PAGE BREAK--- 53 WHEREAS, Senator John. DeFrancisco on January 4, 2016 sponsored a bill (at- tached), that was previously introduced by Assembly member Patricia Fahy(A.6202B/ S.6341) which would require the State, not the counties, to incrementally take over payment for such service; and WHEREAS, this systematic change would directly lead to improvements to this vital service for residents in need, and provide meaningful fiscal mandate relief for coun- ties and real property taxpayers; and WHEREAS, the Cayuga County Judicial and Public Safety Committee approves of the Bill introduced by Senator John. DeFrancisco, entitled “AN ACT to amend the county law and the executive law, in relation to indigent defense services.”, and recom- mends that the Cayuga County Legislature express its support for the actions of Senator John.

You will be allowed to speak for 3 to 5 minutes. You must state your name and address. Budelmann says he was elected District Attorney to protect this community and it is something he takes seriously. He says the top priority has always been prosecut- ing violent felonies and crime. He says while prosecuting narcotics cases they found many drug dealers were collecting public assistance benefits. He says basi- cally the people they were going after were stealing from tax payers and those who are in need. He says they felt strongly that something needed to be done about it. He says we compel tax payers to give their hard earned money to the government so we therefore have an obligation to protect it. He says that the tax dollars should be valued and appreciated. He says he has heard we should reject the grant be- cause there is no need and there is already a system in place to combat this fraud. He says this system is not new and the plan to screen out fraud has been in place for years. He says while case integrity does a good job of screening applicants it is ineffective in stopping the types of fraud they actually prosecute with the pro- gram. He says the fact is that last year they prosecuted over 100 cases that were missed in the screening process. He says that it is impossible to believe that drug dealers during an intake interview with DSS will disclose undocumented income and therefore be barred from benefits. He says at the last meeting Sinclair claimed that the program lost $20,000 and he simply disagrees. He says Sinclair chooses to ignore $62,000 in DSS billings that were generated in 2015. He says the fact that DSS refused to pay their bill in 2015 does not mean it was not earned. He dis- cusses the legislature being tasked with ways to bring in revenue to our budget. He says the grant brings in $321,000 dollars over the next three years. He says that there are no more applications, it is a three year cycle that we are guaranteed and if we refuse it we cannot reapply until 2018. He says if the grants accepted they Tuesday, February 23, 2016 ---PAGE BREAK--- 55 will be applying for additional grants and working through those issues with DSS over their payments. He says those revenues should cover the cost of the program for the remainder of the year. He says they can reexamine all of the funding issues in May or June and shut down this program without a single Cayuga County tax dollar being spent. He says this grant is in use in over 29 counties in NYS. He says every one of those counties that was fortunate to get this grant has accepted and implemented it. He says over the history of this grant since 2004 not a single county has rejected it. He asks why we would be the only county not to accept $107,000 to help us prosecute crime in Cayuga County. He says this should not be a political issue. He says in his two decades with the county he has not heard of a single time that we have rejected a grant. He says it costs the county nothing to accept this grant but it will cost the county $35,000 if we refuse it. He says he would consider any option such as cutting revenue expenditures under the grant to accept the grant. Rosenkranz (Assistant District Attorney) says he was fired at 5:00PM this after- noon. He says he is the prosecutor who dealt with the CARP prosecutions in the county. He says he was available all day today to answer any questions anyone had about the grant. He thinks that a lot of misinformation has been spread about this that we are trying demonize these low income people and give them criminal histories. He says they have worked hard a case by case basis to evaluate them all. He comes with a message of hope and optimism. He thinks there enough people here who come open minded and understand what Budelmann just said that this grant is a gift. He says criminal prosecution is not supposed to be profitable and their job is to do the right thing. He says prosecuting public assistance fraud and large scale tax frauds is the right thing. He is optimistic that tonight this chamber will do the right thing. Brian Bauersfeld was a former employee of the DA’s office as a prosecutor of welfare and public assistance fraud. He thinks another misconception is that this is deemed to be a grant solely targeted at people committing welfare fraud. He says this is a crimes against revenue prosecution which includes a number of areas that people are stealing money and abusing hard earned tax dollars. He says as a resident and tax payer of this community he has a huge problem with the grant being denied. He says the other issue he has with this is when he was here in the exact same position a couple of years ago the legislature asked for the DA to find funding from the state. He says they did and they received it. He says not only did they receive it but we were one of the smallest counties to ever receive the grant. He says it would be a horrible mistake to make a hasty decision and turn away funding. MINUTES: For Approval: 1-26-16 – Motion by Bennett, 2nd Pinckney, all in favor.

RESOLUTION NO. 101-16 2-23-16 LEG Gap Elimination Adjust rev CALLING UPON THE NEW YORK STATE LEGISLATURE TO FULLY TERMINATE THE GAP ELIMINATION ADJUSTMENT AND TO RECALIBRATE A MORE EQUITABLE AND MORE FULLY FUNDED FOUNDATION AID FORMULA WHEN THEY ADOPT THE 2016-17 NEW YORK STATE BUDGET. BY: Cayuga County Legislature WHEREAS, the New York State Gap Elimination Adjustment (GEA) was imple- mented in 2010 as a one-time reduction in state education aid to help New York State balance its budget and that the GEA was then continued in every annual state budget since that time; and WHEREAS, the GEA since its inception has reduced state education aid to Cayuga County’s Public School Districts by $68,151,499; and WHEREAS, the reduction in state education aid associated with the GEA has re- sulted in a cost shift to the local property tax payer in all Cayuga County Public School Districts; and WHEREAS, New York State no longer has a state budget deficit to eliminate; and WHEREAS, the Foundation Aid formula has not been fully implemented since its inception in 2007-08, which has therefore resulted in the continuous underfunding of all Cayuga County Public School Districts despite New York State’s constitutional obliga- tion to provide equal educational opportunities (“sound basic education”) to all children; and WHEREAS, the Foundation Aid formula requires recalibration to ensure a signifi- cantly more equitable distribution of funds to public school districts based on financial need; and WHEREAS, the above referenced actions have resulted in unsustainable measures being implemented to balance the annual budgets of all Cayuga County Public School Districts, including the reduction and elimination of school programs, personnel, and services, and the reductions of school district reserve funds; and WHEREAS, efforts by all Cayuga County Public School Districts to sustain pro- grams and services and contain budgets are simultaneously constrained by the Property Tax Cap law, as well as unfunded or underfunded state mandates; and WHEREAS, the GAP and modification of reimbursements are part of the larger problem of the Sate passing down cost to localities and such actions create the property tax crisis through which we all live; now therefore be it Tuesday, February 23, 2016 ---PAGE BREAK--- 86 RESOLVED, that the Cayuga County Legislature calls upon the New York State Legislature to fully terminate the Gap Elimination Adjustment, provide a minimum of $880 million in additional Foundation Aid and recalibrate the Foundation Aid formula to establish a more equitable distribution of these funds based on financial need when they adopt the 2016-17 New York State Budget.

Signed by Pinckney, Whitman, Dennison, DeForest, Lattimore, Vitale, Baxter, Didio, Farrell, and Foley, all in favor. Motion by Baxter to bring JP-3 back to the floor and amend it so that the CARP grant be accepted with the amendment that the overhead be reduced by 30 percent which will be accomplished by reducing the hours. He says there will be a report from the DA to the Judicial & Public Safety March meeting of where the cuts were made. Batman asks what it will be 30 percent of. Baxter responds it will be from the overhead of implementing the grant. Batman asks what that number is. Baxter says he does not have the exact number but if the people who are working now were going to cost $100,000 then their pay would have to be reduced by 30 percent. He says that would give longer life to the $107,000 dollar grant. 2nd by Whitman on Baxter’s motion. Foley asks what amount the 30 percent would be applied to so we know what the actual dollar amount is. Baxter says he does not have the actual dollar amount but we know what it cost in salaries up until this point. He says the cost of the grant up until now not being in place is approximately $35,000 to the County. He says over this period of time 30 percent of that would have been reduced. He says his think- ing was 30 percent reduction in the overhead gives the DA room to move and continue the prosecutions that he is doing and gives the opportunity to look this over a little more before we pull the plug. Farrell says the budget says that the expenditures on the total grant sets it at $284,000. He asks if we are going 1/3 of that budgeted figure of expenditures. Batman asks if that is this year’s budget and Farrell says yes. Budelmann says that the current salaries should be $231,094 for the 2016 year under the grants. Mahunik asks if we are looking at 30 percent of just the salary and fringe. Baxter says he is only looking at the salaries and fringe because that is where we ran over. Tuesday, February 23, 2016 ---PAGE BREAK--- 87 Sinclair says that she has a figure of $197,250. Batman says so the motion is to reduce the cost of the grant to $112,000 and change. He asks Baxter if that is correct. Baxter says yes that is the motion. Mahunik says he does not think anybody on this body does not want to prosecute crimes. He says he thinks we just want to do it in the most cost effective and efficient manner. He says when he arrived on this board 8 years ago the DA’s budget was about $800,000 and it is now about $1.2 million a year. He says the DA says he came in $58,000 under budget last year. He says his budget line from 2015- 16 went up $120,000 in total so if we take that $58,000 away we are still up another $62,000. He says programs are going to cost county tax payers money. He says if we pay that $35,000 we are still going to save $70,000 to the county tax payers. He says this is not about profitability and prosecuting crime it is about all of us looking at everything we need to do to tighten up this budget. He says looking at taking on a hit like this we are pretty much guaranteeing that we will exceed the tax cap. Dennison thinks that public safety is important but so is fiscal responsibility. He says it is not like we do not want these people prosecuted for their crimes but are we going to take somebody who has committed fraud for $400 and give them an attorney. He says we would not be making anything on that person. He says that does not sounds good to say but the gist of it was to get Budelmann to get the amount to grant and let it fly. Foley agrees with Dennison and says it is reasonable to say if we were to get down to the $107,000 dollars and if the DA can live within those means. He says unfortunately we have not seen the proposal that stays within that amount. He says if we did have something that showed us that we could consider it. Baxter says he is not proposing that the $107,000 will go the entire year and he is not proposing that the cut of 30 percent will allow it to go the entire year. He says what he is proposing is to take the 30 percent cut and utilize the $107,000 as long as it will last. He says at the end of the $107,000 if no money is forth coming from the state in their budget and no other grant is received to continue operating then it would be time to cut it. He says if it runs out then we need to pull the plug. Batman asks if part of the argument is that we have 3 years of grants for $107,000 then why not say that to redo the budget to make it come out to $107,000. He says then make that work for 12 months and if we get money later then we could always adjust what we are doing. He says the math would say that that money would last for about 4 months. Baxter says the reason he used what he did is because we are 2 months into this year already and if we go by the $107,000 only $35,000 has already been spent so that does not leave much for the rest of the year. He says the idea of getting it down to $107,000 guarantee would be more feasible in our next budget so that we start the year already knowing that.

OF 2016 A LOCAL LAW OF THE COUNTY OF CAYUGA ALLOWING FOR “SPARKLING DEVICES”, COMMONLY KNOW AS “SPARKLERS,” TO BE EXCLUDED FROM THE DANGEROUS FIREWORKS DEFINITION AS PERMITTED BY NEW YORK STATE PENAL LAW SECTION 405 BE IT ENACTED by the Cayuga County Legislature, as follows: Section 1. Name of local law This law shall be known as “The Sparkler Act” Section 2. Legislative Intent A. The purpose of this law is to exclude “sparkling devices,” commonly known as “sparklers,” from the dangerous fireworks definition as permitted by New York State Penal Law Section 405(b). Tuesday, March 22, 2016 ---PAGE BREAK--- 112 B. Whereas on November 21, 2014 Governor Cuomo signed into law Chapter 477 of the Laws of 2014 (S.7888/A10141). C. Whereas this state law amended the State Penal Law, the Executive Law and the General Business Law placing further restrictions on dangerous fireworks while at the same time recognizing that certain fireworks should not be labeled dan- gerous when they pose little to no danger to the public and by labeling them dangerous only restricts business and personal enjoyment. D. Whereas the Governor signed this version of the bill into law in part due to its strong home rule authority, only allowing for certain fireworks to be sold and used in municipalities that affirmatively enact a local law authorizing such action. E. In keeping with Chapter 477 of the Laws of 2014, and Penal Code Section 405 this Board further finds and determines that “sparkler devices” may be sold and enjoyed, only in the manner described below, within Cayuga County. F. The Cayuga County Legislature finds that allowing our residents the use of safe “sparkler devices” will benefit them and our local businesses. G.

Several veterans who depend on the services of a wheel chair van have been required to reschedule there medical appoint- ments. This results in hardship to the veterans. There is not enough time to order a replacement van. A suitable van is available from Mathew Busses, Inc. at a cost of $53,225.00. There are sufficient monies in the 2016 Veterans Department Budget to pay for the expenditure. The Government Operations Committee was advised of the situa- tion and the need for immediate action at its April 5, 2016 meeting. The Committee consented to an emergency authorization given the critical needs of supplying transpor- tation to our county veterans. NOW, upon motion made and due deliberation had, it is hereby RESOLVED, that the Veterans Department is authorized and directed to purchase a Ford E-350 chassis Goshen Coach Impulse, see attached specifications, from Mathew Busses, Inc. at a cost not to exceed $ 53,225.00; and be it further RESOLVED, that the Cayuga County Treasurer is hereby authorized to transfer $53,225.00 from the CM-17044 (Veterans Bus Account to the Veteran’s Equipment Account A65102 52000; and be it further RESOLVED, that the Cayuga County Treasurer is hereby authorized and directed to make the journal and accounting entries required to implement the intent of this resolution.

It is hereby determined that: the maximum amount of the Refunding Bonds authorized to be issued pursuant to this Resolution does not exceed the limitation imposed by subdivision 1 of paragraph b of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law; the maximum period of probable usefulness permitted by law at the time of the issuance of the Refunded Bonds was 18.71 years measured from the date of issue of the original bonds; the last installment of the Refunding Bonds will mature not later than the expiration of the period of probable usefulness of each object or purpose for which the Refunded Bonds were issued in accordance with the provisions of subdivision 1 of paragraph c of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law; and the estimated present value of the total debt service savings anticipated as a result of the issuance of the Refunding Bonds, if any, computed in accordance with the provisions of subdivision 2 of paragraph b of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law, is as shown in the Refunding Financial Plan described in Section 7 hereof.

This County Legislature recognizes that the amount of the Refunding Bonds, maturities, terms, and interest rate or rates borne by the Refunding Bonds to be issued by the County will most probably be different from such assumptions and that the Refund- ing Financial Plan will also most probably be different from such Exhibit A. The County Treasurer is hereby authorized and directed to determine the amount of the Refunding Bonds to be issued, the date of such bonds and the date of issue, maturities and terms thereof, the provisions relating to the redemption of Refunding Bonds prior to maturity, if any, whether the Refunding Bonds will be insured by a policy or policies of municipal bond insurance or otherwise enhanced by a credit enhancement facility or facilities, whether the Refunding Bonds shall be sold at a discount in the manner authorized by paragraph e of Section 57.00 of the Local Finance Law, and the rate or rates of interest to be borne thereby, whether the Refunding Bonds shall be issued with substantially level or declining annual debt service and all matters relating thereto, and to prepare, or cause to be provided, a final Refunding Financial Plan for the Refunding Bonds, and all powers in connection therewith are hereby delegated to the County Treasurer; provided, that the terms of the Refunding Bonds to be issued, including the rate or rates of interest borne thereby, shall comply with the requirements of Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law, if applicable. The County Treasurer shall file a copy of his certificate determining the details of the Refunding Bonds and the final Refunding Financial Plan with the Clerk of the Legislature not later than ten (10) days after the delivery of the Refunding Bonds, as herein provided. Thursday, April 21, 2016 ---PAGE BREAK--- 125 Section 8. The County Treasurer is hereby authorized to enter into an escrow contract (the “Escrow Contract”) with a bank or trust company located and authorized to do business in this State as he shall designate (the “Escrow Holder”) for the purpose of having the Escrow Holder act, in connection with the Refunded Bonds, as the escrow holder to perform the services described in Section 90.10 of the Local Finance Law, if applicable Section 9. The faith and credit of the County are hereby irrevocably pledged to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Refunding Bonds as the same respec- tively become due and payable.

Jamie Ciaschi, President/Owner H&J Hospitality- Emerson Park Pavilion Opera- tion: Discussion: Ciaschi wants to give background on the contract, their relationship with the County, and highlights of their performance. Ciaschi says in 2009, a study showed that the Pavilion had the best results with one caterer. Ciaschi’s company was selected to operate the facility in 2010 based on criteria established by the County. The contract was from 2012-2015, and there was three 3-year renewals built into that contract. Their intent was to have a long-term relationship with the County at the Pavilion. After two years of operation, they were granted their first exten- sion option, which is currently in place until 2018. Ciaschi intends to request a second 3-year extension. He is pleased with the current arrangement with the County and the level of satisfaction with customers. He says there have been no issues or complaints. Ciaschi says they market the Pavilion regionally and they bring in 5,000 outside visitors to the local community each year. He says each year they serve about 11,000 guests for weddings, 2,000 people for non-wedding events, and 24,000 guests through community sponsored events. Ciaschi says their goal is to grow the business every year and he wants to work with the County to do this. Ciaschi goes over performance highlights and says they have increased their rent every year to the County, which will reach $58,000 per year in 2018. He says they have created a capital reserve fund which was an important piece to the contract, because the Emerson Foundation wanted there to be money to improve/maintain the facility as the years went on. Ciaschi says they generated sales tax to the County of around $182,000 from 2012-2015, they have maintained the facility and equipment as agreed, and Ciaschi made a $75,000 personal investment in assets to the Pavilion. He says customers are satisfied and they have a 4.9 rating out of 5. Ciaschi says he funded $60,000 per year in community sponsorship and they have a perfect track record for all regulatory authorities. He says there was a plan in 2015 to add concessions and a full service restaurant. He wants to make sure they are maintaining the historical integrity of the building and best serving the com- munity. Baxter says he get complaints from his district that there is nothing there for the average person to use. He asks if there is anything Ciaschi can do before the plan takes effect to allow concessions to be opened for Merry Go Round events. Ciaschi says the Pavilion was designed to be an event facility, but they work hard to get folks from the community through. He says they attempted to do a concession with Merry Go Round Theatre a couple of years ago, but there was very low participa- tion and there was a deficit in cost. He thinks the master plan has some good solutions in it but he is willing to try new things. ---PAGE BREAK--- 184 Dennison says in 2012 the lease was $44,000 and is continually going up. He asks what this percentage is based on. Ciaschi says it is a percentage based on food and beverage income. He reports the income every month; it was 10% of food and beverage income in 2012 and every year after that it has become 12%. After they hit the rent commitment, everything above that goes into the capital fund. McNabb-Coleman expresses her disappointment with the recent loss of the venue for the Baldwin Cancer Foundation Walk. She is hopeful that Ciaschi will have an open mind in the future when similar events come up. Ciaschi says their inten- tion was to make that event happen. However, it was a last-minute event for a lot of people. He says they had an issue with the liquor license and couldn’t allow others to sell alcohol on the property. Ciaschi was also against allowing 8,000 people access to the building because of liability issues. He is not sure where the communication broke down. Dennison asks Ciaschi about the money he put into the Pavilion. Ciaschi says it was for equipment fees, not fixed assets. Foley has concerns of renewing the contract because of Ciaschi’s response to Baxter by saying that the Pavilion is more of an event facility. Foley says that Ciaschi says he is open to trying to make more offerings or additional dining opportunities at the Pavilion, but it is a concern until we see something actually happen. Foley says Ciaschi has years to make that happen before the option to renew comes up. Batman recommends appointing a small ad hoc committee to speak to Ciaschi before renewing the lease. He says this is a way to get all of the issues out in the open, discuss them thoroughly, and come up with a plan to address them. He says he will ask for appointment confirmation of this group next month. MINUTES: For Approval: 5-24-16 – Attached, Motion by Bennett, 2nd by Foley, all in favor. CCC REPORT: Dr. Brian Durant – Attached Discussion: Baxter asks about the expense of the student for CCC comparing the Auburn site to the Fulton site. Durant says he has been trying to solidify a methodology that makes sense, so it is not as straightforward as it could be. He says many of their students are taking at least one course and many faculty teach online. They need to come up with a methodology to reflect the expenses and revenue that are gener- ated. He says we need to give credit for the fact that they are a student of CCC and for the revenue, even though it might not be at that specific plant. He says there have also been changes in expenses on the capital/rental side. He anticipates to give a starting point of this information in the coming weeks; he wants to be as thorough as possible. Tuesday, June 28, 2016 ---PAGE BREAK--- 185 Report: Durant says the terms for leadership are up and Linda Van Buskirk has been elected as the new Chair. He appreciates the leadership from the former Chair, Jeff Edwards, and looks forward to working with Van Buskirk. He appreciates the support regarding the budget. He says they cut 5% off the budget from last year and feels they did a good job on the analysis on the budget. COMMITTEE REPORTS & INDIVIDUAL LEGISLATORS’ REPORTS: Dennison says there will be 300 or more Model T’s at the Ag Museum on July 22. He discusses fireworks and says they are best-selling in Cayuga County this year. He also reminds about the Big Six Picnic in July. Vitale says he has been working as a capital working group since February. The group is made up of Duckett, Wethey, Sinclair, Batman, Pinckney, and Mahunik. He says they evaluated the County’s buildings, identified areas that need im- provement, and looked for opportunities that could save the County money. LED was something they looked at and the Public Safety Building uses their lights most often. He says they looked at Energy Performance Contracts, and he will bring recommendations in July to the Legislature. Vitale says they looked at what some of the priorities should be in the most recent meeting; probation is an area of high priority. The condition of the County Office Building is also a priority. Vitale says space is not used efficiently, windows are questionable, and asbestos is a problem and will be a high cost. He says the requirements for asbestos testing alone will cost around $130,000-$150,000. He says the estimate was around 12 million for doing overall improvements to the County Office Building. He ran the cost through outside resources and the cost for replacing the County Office Build- ing was almost identical as the cost for improving the building. Vitale says we need to consider building something new and efficient instead of putting a large amount of money into the building. He says we could gain efficiencies through energy, sharing employees, and sharing areas with the City, which would open us up to consolidation grant money. Vitale says we need to seriously consider that the savings of a new building might outweigh the cost of making the improvements to the building. He says we also need to consider all of the buildings that we have and how much it costs to operate these buildings. He says we should consider consoli- dating buildings for higher cost savings. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT: Suzanne Sinclair – Attached Discussion: Sinclair says they met with differed compensation representative last week and the conversation is ongoing. They have a contract through 2017 and they were brought up to date on the number of participants in the County and total assets. She says they are discussing opportunities for participant information and educa- tion.

He met with the Sewer and Water Authority and there will be another meeting to see where they are moving forward. Batman also says the CH4 discus- sions are ongoing.
