ROLL CALL: Sheila Smith, Clerk of the Legislature all Legislator’s present except excused Terry Baxter. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: MOMENT OF PRAYER: PUBLIC HEARING: Opened at 6:05PM To Adopt a Local Law No. the year 2015, a Local Law of the County of Cayuga, New York, establishing the Cayuga County Department of Information Technology and designating the Chief Infor- mation Officer as the Department Head. PROCLAMATIONS: Chief Jeffrey Dygert Day (Career Fire Chief of New York Award) and letter of recognition Heights- Assisted Living Week (September 13-19, 2015) Celebrating Mount Carmel, West, East and Central High School 50 Year Reunion Cayuga County Salutes Eagle Scout Allen Donald Bocian Cayuga County Salutes Eagle Scout Nicholas Alexander Cayuga County Salutes Eagle Scout Matthew Conner Cayuga County Salutes Eagle Scout Zachary Kurtz Cayuga County Salutes Eagle Scout Justin Janes PRESENTATIONS: Cayuga Mental Health Facility Roof- Gary Duckett Discussion: Whitman says his only concern with option one is the long term cost to the county. He says we have to pay to operate the heat trace and asks if there was an estimate to what our electric costs will be. Duckett says they did not offer and he did not ask. He says it is thermostatically controlled so it is only on when it is needed. Lattimore says he would like to see if NYSERDA has some money and put on solar to operate the building. Pecher would like to have it referred back to committee rather than make a decision tonight. Chapman asks everyone to appreciate the fact that they had this meeting with C&S and they offered this option to put the heating trace up there. He says if that does not work then we have to go for another design for another solution. He says they are going to foot the bill which they estimate between $25,000-$45,000 dollars. He says he would hope the majority of this body could make a decision and get the ball rolling. Duckett says it will take 6 to 8 weeks to install. Pinckney asks if the design flaw was discussed. Chapman says no Tuesday, July 28, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 180 and they indicated that they have used this in other locations and it should be working. Duckett says their biggest regret was not being more forceful with the county and making sure it was a metal roof. Duckett says they went away from the metal roof was the snow tends to slide off into piles. Whitman says his two cents is the design flaw appears to be we are losing too much heat because there is not enough insulation. He says to him that is a design flaw and he could not go with option one because it would be a long term waste of money. Pinckney would like to go along with Pecher and take it back to committee. Mahunik asks if them footing the bill for option one is contingent upon the legislature doing something quickly or are they willing to wait till we go back to committee. Duckett says he does not think they are going to balk if we go back to committee. He thinks the issue is we want to get it done before the winter. Mahunik says we have someone offering to pay for the band aids so it buys us time. He says he does not know why we would go back to committee. Vitale says he would also prefer to move it forward tonight and them paying for the heat trace is a good thing He thinks we have also learned we need to make sure we keep a better eye on things and hopefully get someone use out of the roof. Lattimore asks if this gets C&S off the hook even more. Westphal responds there is a short statute of limitations so the longer the county works towards a solution the time clock runs. Batman asks for clarification because he thought in committee the statute of limitations had expired. Westphal responds the one having to do with design flaw has expired but whether there is a contract obligation on top of that is still out there. MOTION NO. 213-15 JULY 28, 2015 Motion by Pecher to send it back through committee (the decision on which option to choose with C&S Companies on the Cayuga Mental Health Facility Roof), 2nd by Didio, motion defeated by majority vote; noes- Vitale, Farrell, Runkle, Batman, Reginelli, Mahunik, and Chapman; ayes- Whitman, Pinckney, Pecher, Bennett, Lattimore. Didio, and Foley; Baxter excused, 444/372/67. Discussion: Lattimore says he would like to put a caveat on there that it does not let them off the hook even though we accept the money. Westphal says he has not received any information from C&S that if the county accepts this option that it takes care of all claims. Westphal says what he heard was that there was some indication that the county wants to move forward on option two or three. He says if the county chose option one then C&S would work with the county on developing the spec. Chapman says in addition to that it would be a no to Lattimore’s question. He says C&S agreed that if this did not work out to our satisfaction they will perform the design in the future if we desire. Whitman says it is a brand new building that we have and we are already applying band aids. He says the buildings the county has now are covered in band aids there is not much left showing and we are starting off the same way with a brand new one.

CCC REPORT: Dr. DeCinque- No written report DeCinque really wanted to come tonight to just say goodbye. He says the budget they have presented to the legislature is indicative that the college is living within its means and managing its resources. He says he would be remiss if did not say there is certainly a need for increase funding to support CCC. He says that is both through the county and state support. He says he will be around and he has some obligations he has committed to continue to work on certain things such as regionalization. COMMITTEE REPORTS & INDIVIDUAL LEGISLATORS’ REPORTS: Batman says Union Springs has been selected to host the 2016 Bass Pro Tourna- ment. Didio says July & August many of the committees that he is a part of take the time of to do some other things. He says the next meeting for the Inter County Associa- tion of Western NY will be in Monroe County. Foley noted this past month in the Judicial & Public Safety Meeting there was a brief discussion on a letter from Judge McKeon. He says he has not heard too much more about that and would like to at this time at least ponder whether it would be appropriate to have the judge come and answer questions. Chapman says that they have heard that the 7th District Supervising Judge has indicated no weapons will be allowed in the courthouses. Lattimore says nice to hear Rochester won the 610 million dollars for the photo tonics and hopefully it will help the region. Tuesday, July 28, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 182 COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT: Suzanne Sinclair –Attached She says they are having discussions in the small group that is working with the city to co locate the motor pools. She says there are ideas being thrown out that would be interesting that may impact that. She says she did put an idea in front of the City Manager and we will see if it shows promise. She says the budget is something she is looking to deliver soon but she needs some assistance from the legislature in the form of the style of budgeting. She says in the past there are certain easier to do such as the “just say no” budget where there is no spending over what was done last year. She says she would like to see a little more discus- sion given to the idea of moving Cayuga County forward. She says she thinks there is a real sense that the county government is in a position to create the platform from which business and other growth can take place by creating an environment that is conducive to that growth. She says she would interested to the legislatures reaction to that and to what they might see as a direction that the county could best put its efforts. She says she knows what she thinks but clearly the legislature represents the citizen so it is important what they think. She says there is also the free form boundary which is simply made up of the requests made up by the departments but again it lacks direction. She says in the end perhaps the most useful thing to her is to have a discussion about what the boundaries/param- eters are in the budget. She says last year we discussed that and she thanks the legislature for taking to heart the message about the fund balance. She says that it could not continue to be diminished and expect anything to happen besides running out of money eventually. She would like to have some guidance on how the legislature views the tax cap and whether it is a boundary not to cross or if it could be considered under certain circumstances. She says in regards to spending the fund balance she would advise to spend that on things that are very long term or capital in nature. She asks that there be conversations in the near future maybe a few minutes at committees meetings to get the thoughts from the legisla- ture on the budget. Lattimore asks whether or not we could get a larger pool of health people together. He says he knows the consortium has had several talks. He also asks about the Public Safety Building with the city. He asks how much revenue we would lose if they talk the city court out of the old post office building and some of the other configurations of the building. Sinclair says she does not have the number off the top of her head. She says she has given some thought to that because it will vacate a pretty big chunk of the historic post office. She says there might be an opportu- nity to make our offices home so to speak and reduce our occupancy costs. Lattimore says he knows are health costs are going to increase. Sinclair says that the budget that she has presented had built into a 5 percent increase which is the consortium call. She says we are bound by that membership to the consortium so we are looking at opportunities to expand. Chapman asks about the vendor for fleet management and if there were any real umbers provided. Sinclair responds not yet she has given the gentleman who wanted to make a proposal some information and he is supposed to get back to her. Tuesday, July 28, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 183 CHAIRMAN’S REPORT: Michael Chapman Chapman says he attended a dinner in Syracuse which was hosted by the Gover- nor with about 30 people, 4 elected officials, and the rest were business people throughout our region. He says it was a great opportunity and it was a couple hours of very candid conversations and comments coming from him. He says a lot of people rooting for our region to win the big prize as we move down the road. He says last week attended the Regional Economic Development Counsel there were 11 projects offered up. He says they continue to look at and examine them to connect them to make it more attractive. He sent an email this past week that the Cayuga Indian Nation signed a peace agreement which is going to be a work in progress. He says we know that there will be some amendments offered and hope- fully a good agreement will come forth with no violent reactions. He also sent an email out about an offering from NYSEG saving 15 cents per kilowatt hour. He asked Anthony to go back to NYSEG and see if they had any real numbers. He asks Anthony about her email and if the $32,000 savings is a real number from NYSEG. Anthony says it is but to keep in mind that it is an estimate. Chapman asks if the deadline is this Friday and she responds yes. Sinclair asks if this program is similar to the generator program. Anthony responds yes that it is very similar. She says there is an RFP that did go out from purchasing regarding the generator program. Chapman asks if there is any information on that RFP. Sinclair says they have not she wanted to go over it to make sure we have appropriate informa- tion. She says the numbers should be greater than $32,000. Chapman asks if it could be researched tomorrow and Sinclair responds absolutely. Lattimore thinks we could negotiate with others who submitted a bid and get a better return on the proposals. Chapman says based on what we pay for electricity this would be a big help going forward. Sinclair says Anthony and her have a meeting so they can sit down and go through these. Chapman says he wants to say a couple of things about the budget. He says he sent out an email before requesting committee chairs to consider having discussions with the various departments that report to those committees. He suggest we think about it seriously without anything really for- mulated or information to chew on. He says with regards to Sinclair’s comments as he has stated before he would really look for some recommendations. He thinks we should consider very seriously based on the last report we know that .73 per- cent is the alleged tax cap. He says that would give the county around $349,000 dollars form the tax levy. He says he would be thinking about exceeding the tax cap. He says if we continue down the road of using the fund balance in a few short years we will be behind and will have to demand a double digit increase in taxes. He says he is going to send an email with some follow up on suggestions relative to the budget and hopes August will be a productive time in regards to the budget.

Discussion: Foley says he voted no at committee on this because it contains yet another tuition increase. He says he sees a trend from the college that it seems they are going to balance their budget on tuition increases which is on the backs of the students. He says he hope next year we can maybe not have that happen. He says he did not hear a proposal this year to say that they could use additional funds. He asks DeCinque at what point did they come ask the county for additional assistance this year and why they raised tuition. DeCinque says he does not think he has a direct answer for that. He says he thinks it was pretty obvious to the college that the county would not be providing any funding. He says when the county is unable to provide any funding for 5 years and the State of New York is not providing anything it leaves them with very little places to go. He points out that when tuition is raised it is done in a very calculated understanding way of the impact on our students. He says in the State of New York we know when we raise tuition 100 dollars the ones who need the support will be able to get the money because we are well below the tuition caps. He would ask Foley to understand that no one wants to raise tuition but for 30 years community colleges have been left with no place to go. He says they have tried to do things to keep our institution providing the best quality of services that they can. He says he feels the State of New York has terribly forfeited their commitment to what they promised to do with community colleges. He says they raise tuition as a last resort. He says if this body tonight wants to give us another $800,000-$900,000 tonight he would be happy to roll back the tuition. Foley says we all understand that higher education is important but the question is he does not think the county is going to hand the college money. He says that the college is going to have to fight for it and he does not think there was any fight for it. He thinks there might have been some kind of funds provided and it is unfortu- Tuesday, July 28, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 201 nate. Chapman says Foley has a good point but his recollection of the committee discussion is this was brought up about a potential increase sometime in the future. He says because we pass this college budget that means they know they are going to operate on this budget. He says it does not prohibit the legislature from doing a little math and finding some dollars here for the upcoming budget.

CCC REPORT: Dr. Brian Durant- No written report Dr. Durant says as he moves forward his primary goal is to continue to meet people across campus and in the community to learn from their perspectives about the college. He says they are looking to build on the momentum that has been going to build towards the future. He says classes will start next week and enrollment is Tuesday, August 25, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 210 down as they had predicted. He says he has been very impresses by the welcoming environment and the staff and their work ethic. He says the recent activity from the Board of Trustees was the approval to the continued exploration of a regionalization model. COMMITTEE REPORTS & INDIVIDUAL LEGISLATORS’ REPORTS: Didio discusses the Owasco lake Watershed Lake Association. He says the associa- tion requested $700,000 in funding and received $600,000 to work on different aspects of Owasco Lake. He says unfortunately they have not received anything yet but they are working on that. He says he has been researching for the past year and a half the culverts and the outflow at the Emerson side into the channel. He says they found that two of the culverts are plugged in the Emerson side. He says they are getting ready now to clean it out so there will be some flow. He says he attended the Inter County Association of Western New York which was held at the Greater Rochester International Airport. He says they have a representative from Albany from NYSAC that gives them a report of what is going on in Albany and with the Governor. He says that one of the highlights was the fact that the Gover- nor and the State Department of Health banned the sale and possession of syn- thetic cannabinoids and bath salts in 2012. He says the Community Services Board and Alcohol & Substance Abuse Committee have been working on a daily basis to help in the area of treatments and solutions to slow this deadly piece down. He says we continue to see distribution and selling of drugs. He says the southern shore of Lake Ontario if the plan of 2014 goes into effect it could wipe out many of the areas on the southern shore of the lake. Lattimore discusses CCPUSA and says we have indicated for our downtown cam- pus that we should invite in the NYS Power Authority to review some of our uses. He says they used them in the city at his former position and they came up with tremendous savings in updating our building. He says he has emailed Duckett and others in regards to asking for a proposal from that organization. He says with all the solar that is out there now we should be pushing for that. He says he requests that hopefully we can put $20,000 back into the budget for CCPUSA to do some of these different projects. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT: Suzanne Sinclair – Attached CHAIRMAN’S REPORT: Michael Chapman Chapman says as a member of the Airport Authority Board they took a tour of the 174th Air National Guard Facility. He says more recently they have been better known for the training of unmanned aircraft more commonly known as drones. He says they are now training people from all over the world. He says it is pretty remarkable how far away these people are flying these things while sitting in Syracuse. He says if anyone is interested in the future the Colonel said he would be happy to host us if people were interested in taking a tour of the facility. He says he had the privilege of participating in another Eagle Scout ceremony. He says today he spent most of the day on the Regional Economic Development Meeting in Syracuse. He says while most of that information at this very moment remains Tuesday, August 25, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 211 confidential. He can say that it is very pleasing to see a number of projects come from Cayuga County and will be moving along in the process. He mentions the nursing home and doing a request for development. He says there will be a meet- ing coming up again for regionalization to continue our talks. He has spoken with our colleagues in Oswego County and have shared the same questions looking for real numbers and what the benefits would be. He says Sheriff Gould organized a meeting with the Bureau of Indian Affairs, FBI, US Attorney’s Office, State Po- lice, Seneca County Law Enforcement and our own legal counsel. He says they had a telephone conference with the BIA about the present lack of agreement between the factions of the Cayuga Nation. He says DA Budelmann put together some language with the assistance of Valdina and hopefully there will be some agreement coming forth in the near future. He says if there is not based on what he has heard from the BIA, Cayuga County is in great shape. He also says that the Genoa Fire Department sent him a letter in regards to them turning 100.

PRESENTATIONS: Tentative Budget Presentation- Suzanne Sinclair Chapman asks about the tax levy. Sinclair explains that it is a 1.25 percent in- crease over 2015 tax levy. She says the tax levy in 2015 was 2.9 percent higher than the year before. Batman says based upon Chapman’s comments it would be a lot easier if it was worded that the tax levy is 1.25 percent. Sinclair says that Spingler brought her good news about the budget today and would like her to share. Spingler says that next year is when the radio maintenance will hit the budget. She says they are looking at about $375,000 for maintenance of the system and roughly $87,000 for the master site. She says Niel Rivenburgh and herself have been working on grants. She says one of the grants they currently have which is a $5.3 million dollar grant from the state. She says they have been able to reduce costs within that grant and she reached out to the state to find out if there was potential to use it for sustainment. She says sustaining the systems is too much money for counties to afford. She says she received some information today that they would allow it for sustainment. She says that we are going to hit the $375,000 come January and asked if there was potential to use the money left over for that maintenance which they said yes. She says the only problem is that the grant ends in December so she asked for at least a 6 month extension. She says what would Tuesday, August 25, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 212 happen is they would allow us to use maintenance within the first 6 months of 2016 so it would be about a $175,000 savings on that maintenance cost. She says the other savings would come from the master site maintenance. She says they have paid the $87,000 already but that was within the grant contract so she could submit it for reimbursement this year and next year. She says realistically she is looking at a total of about $270,000 for the 2016 budget on top of $87,000 for this year. Batman says a lot of the IT computer expenses were moved from depart- ments to IT. He says he would like to see from each departments what their bottom line budget would be had that not been done. He asks how Sinclair defines capital. Sinclair responds something that is long term such as a road. She says it is something that will be built and improved so we don’t have to look at it in a few years. Runkle asks about the increase in federal inmate, clerk’s fees, etc. and if they are rate changes or volume changes. Sinclair says that they are volume changes. Runkle says a lot of the department heads came back reducing their contractual monies by $1.1 million. He says then went into some other depart- ments and got another $1.4 million. He asks if those other departments have had a chance to take a look at the $1.4 million that she is proposing. She says she passed out sheets to them before the meeting so they could see exactly what adjustments were made. Foley asks about the goals to maintain the level of ser- vice. He says in the scenarios listed it says to eliminate 6-15 positions. He asks if there are 6-15 positions that she could find to eliminate. Sinclair responds that she thinks it would be extremely difficult to cut positions at this point. She says we have eliminated as many vacant positions as we could and tried to not hire people when possible. She says one of the problems with simply eliminating expenditures is that the work doesn’t really go away. She mentions that we also need to look at alternate sources of revenue. Foley asks if Sinclair will have recommendations on revenue sources. Sinclair responds that she can do that. Batman asks about the scenarios and says all of the budgets include the basic road maintenance. He says the question is how much to allocate for the capital im- provements to the roads. Sinclair says it is not her budget but she would be work- ing with Wethey on making sure that million dollars flowed through to capital type projects. Runkle asks Sinclair for Ways & Means next month to look at the balance sheet at the end of last year at our unrestricted fund balance. He says we have an estimate of $19 million this year. He says and maybe give us some of the high level changes and better information of where they all came from.

He says she was a very great person but started going through depression and picked up on heroin. He says she started going to treatment but the insurance company said that she did not really need any treatment. He says they wanted them to pay $70.00 a day three times a week to get her treatment. He says he offered to do it but she would not allow it. He says she died about three weeks after that. He says there is an epidemic in the county. He says very little has changed since the taskforce came through Auburn last year. He says there has not been one new rehab brought into central New York or crisis center. He says detox is now even harder to get. He says that our kids are dying out there and it is affecting every level of society right now. He says he has talked to every congressman in this area and he has gone as far as he can. He is hoping maybe the legislature can help him. Lattimore says that we have had 16 heroin deaths in this county alone. He says there is a meeting at CC’s tomorrow at 6:30 to try and make some headway. MINUTES: For Approval: 8-25-15- Attached, Motion by Didio, 2nd by Pinckney, all in favor. CCC REPORT: Dr. Brian Durant- Attached Didio asks Durant if we are any closer to student housing. Durant says a great deal of effort has been done and last year a study was done to look at the need and capacity. He says it came back that there is that need. He says one of his goals this year will be student housing. He says the next step in his mind is to do a full Tuesday, September 22, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 247 evaluation of the services in place at the college to support a 24/7 learner. He says that we need to be sure that if we have student housing we have the learning and social environment for them to be successful. He believes they are well equipped to do that but it deserves an evaluation. He says they will then progress forward with their trustees to look at what time is the right decision to move to the next steps. He thinks all indications thus far say it could be a favorable project for the college. He says we just need to make sure we go about it the right way to make it a successful project. Lattimore says he attended the last board meeting and as a member of government operations they are invited every month to attend. He says he asked to speak for a moment at the meeting and some of the members were a little taken a back. He thinks elected/public officials should be recognized when they are participating in the meeting. He says if they come here they can speak to any subject they wish. Durant says they appreciated his comments. He says it is all about the procedure of it all. He says he was allowed to participate and had a good perspective so hopefully we answered any questions and thanks for attending. COMMITTEE REPORTS & INDIVIDUAL LEGISLATORS’ REPORTS: Didio discusses the Inter County Association of Western New York and says this month’s meeting is in Lake Placid for the NYSAC. He says therefor there will be no report on a specific meeting. He says they have a resolution meeting that is held during the three day period of the conference. He says next month’s meeting is in Wayne County and he will be here to report it. He says the Alcohol & Sub- stance Abuse Committee and everything that Mr. Jones has presented tonight is on top of the table. He says he does not have any quick answers for it. He says they do more than talk and they have to continue to talk to move forward. He says where we are going they are hoping will be in the best interest of all the families and kids in this area. He says it would be in the best interest of people here to attend tomorrow night at 6:00 PM at CC’s to see if we can be of some service. He discusses the inspection committee and the blue-green algae in Owasco and Como Lake. He says some of it has been found to be toxic. He says they do have the DEC coming right out as soon as we call to test it. He says we just cannot get the answers right away that we need. He says if you check your Water & Sewer bill for this month you might see something in the right hand corner. He says the bill includes a Watershed Inspection Fee which says 0.063 percent of water use. He says to not be alarmed because that whole figure for the year will cost $2.52 which will go in to help what we need as help on that lake. Lattimore says he emailed some information on Blair Construction, located on North Street in Auburn. He says they made the spire for the top of the One World Trade Center and thinks the County should be very proud of that company. He says the Governor has taken Indian Point down by the city which produces about 25% of the city’s power. He says it is clean power and probably the best power that can be produced for the environment. He says the Governor has ideas for micro grids and other things that he wants to do for the power, solar, and wind. He says we should keep an eye on it because it is critical to everyone to have clean and cheap power.

Signed by Baxter, Pinckney, Reginelli, Whitman, Runkle, Mahunik, and Pecher, all in favor. Discussion: Mahunik asks if this is something we can out off for a month so we can wrap our heads a little more around the budget. He asks the Sheriff if there is a reason that this has to be done tonight. Gould says that last year there was a position taken away from the Sheriff’s Department. He says we are down to bare minimum right no. He says we have four who are on extended sick leave and two are leaving for the state troopers next month. He says that will leave us with 2 to 3 maximum on a shift. He says we need to start replacing our people. He says we have a recruit that wants to transfer in from Cortland County and if it passed we can bring him on very quickly. Lattimore asks if this would save us from having to train the person and Gould responds yes. Gould says they have an academy very seldom so this position could be open another year. Vitale says so if the transfer does not happen then it could not be filled until the next academy. Gould says correct unless there is another transfer by some chance. Bennett asks why not wait to move them up until the other two are out of the academy so we do not lose a road deputy. He says he would much rather have a road deputy then a detective right about now. Gould says if we do not get the transfer in it could be another year before we get someone on the road. Bennett says but if the detective slot gets filled we will lose a road deputy. Gould says we have talked about this for months and we really need to fill the detective position. Baxter thinks it is not the job of this group of people to run the department. He says he thinks the Sheriff’s pints are valid and he calls the question. Motion by Farrell to reintroduce LEG-1, 2nd by Bennett. Discussion: Farrell reiterates that LEG-1 is calling for the day of a public hearing. He thinks that the opportunity for the public to come and express their views on the tax levy cap we should all welcome the opportunity. He says if there are people here who are against raising it they will have the opportunity to vote down the resolution and the budget if it includes a tax cap they don’t agree with. Motion by Baxter to table LEG-1 to October, 2nd by Didio. Discussion: Baxter says that it would still give us the option to complete this if we so chose. He Tuesday, September 22, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 265 says he has some concern with the missing legislators because it would not be a very valid vote at this point. Mahunik just wants to make the point that this does nothing more than give people the opportunity to come speak to us about their agreement or disagree- ment. He does not think this body does any favors to anybody if we say the public should not come talk to us. He says pushing it off another month does nothing more than kick the can down the road. He would like to get the opinion of the public sooner rather than later because we are going to have to make some tough decisions come November and December. He says he does not support tabling this at this time. Pecher says there is nothing to stop the public from coming to any meeting and expressing their opinions. Baxter says he was not trying to kick the can down the road he was just trying to give the resolution the best opportunity to pass. Lattimore says that is a good point and he would like to have the full legisla- ture. Vitale does not think anyone here should be speaking for anyone else so he calls the question. Motion by Baxter to table LEG-1, 2nd by Didio, motion passed by majority vote, Ayes- Whitman, Vitale, Pinckney, Runkle, Pecher, Baxter, Lattimore, Didio, Noes- Farrell, Bennett, Reginelli, Mahunik, Excused, Batman, Foley, and Chapman, 490/199/194. TABLED RESOLUTION NO. 314-15 9/22/15 LEG LL A LOCAL LAW TO OVERRIDE THE TAX LEVY LIMIT rev FIXING DAY AND NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON ADOPTING LOCAL LAW FOR THE YEAR 2015, A LOCAL LAW TO OVERRIDE THE TAX LEVY LIMIT ESTABLISHED IN GENERAL MUNICIPAL LAW §3-c. (2/3) BY: CAYUGA COUNTY LEGISLATURE. WHEREAS, there has been duly presented and introduced at a meeting of this County Legislature held on September 22, 2015, a proposed local law entitled: “LOCAL LAW FOR THE YEAR 2015, A LOCAL LAW TO OVERRIDE THE TAX LEVY LIMIT ESTABLISHED IN GENERAL MUNICIPAL LAW §3-c. “ Now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, that a public hearing shall be held concerning the proposed local law before the Cayuga County Legislature on October 27, 2015, at 10:00 A.M., at the Chambers of the Cayuga County Legislature, County Office Building, 160 Genesee Street, Auburn, New York, and the Clerk of the Cayuga County Legislature is hereby directed to give due legal notice of said public hearing as provided by statute.

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: MOMENT OF PRAYER: PRESENTATION: 2016 Tentative Budget- Attached Discussion: Farrell asks about the sales tax estimation. He says the latest report that we received form Orman was showing we were down 0.1 percent over last year. He says we budget a 1 percent increase for this year. He says so we are behind what we had budgeted and if that stays true then we will pretty much break even with last year. He says but we are forecasting a 2 ½ percent increase from what was bud- geted so in reality with are wishing for a 3 ½ percent increase in sales tax next which seems extreme. Sinclair says she went back through history and she based it on a historical trend over time. Farrell says he remembers the statistics but we are already close to the end of the year and we would be down one percent from what was budgeted. He says if we are looking at a 2.49 percent next year in reality we would be looking at 3 ½ from where we are in an actual budget rather than a proposed budget. He says that to him is something that is a little bit of wishful thinking. Sinclair says that is certainly something the legislature can address. TOPIC: Department Budget Reviews Legislative Board Ways & Means Government Operations Planning Discussions: Pecher asks how $10,000 was put in the budget for Bass Masters Tournament. Sinclair says there was a request to support the tournament and at the time it worked out dollar wise so she put it on there. She says it is certainly something that the legislature can address if they do not wish to do that. Pecher asks how it worked out dollar wise. Sinclair says at the time she was sitting at 1.25 percent but Wednesday, October 14, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 267 now she is not. Chapman says with that in mind would she withdraw it from the sheet. Sinclair says those are suggestions made to the legislature and they can choose to amend it. Chapman says as far as he can recall the legislature never took any action to request and inclusion of $10,000. Batman says that there has been a request and if there needs to be a request from a legislator, he so requests. He says the points made in the request were two separate requests. He says one is that they need the funds. He says last year they did not use the funds because they did not need them. He says they have a pretty good track record of fiscal responsi- bility. He says the second reason that they need it is any community effort like this it is important to show that there is community support. He says they need the support of the county and it helps them raise money. He says to make certain that they are in position to make additional funds seems to him very powerful. Chapman asks what committee has vetted that request. He says he knows Bass Masters brings a good crowd with them and it is good for the community. He says if it has not been run through committee and given a chance to be vetted and approved he does not think it should be on the table tonight. Batman asks if any of the proposed change shave gone through committee. Chapman says that we are in committee right now. Batman says in that case he is vetting this through committee right now. Chapman says this is not a matter we should waste time on at this present moment. Lattimore says if this $10,000 can help this community in which we receive hotel/sales tax and net difference is that we are in the plus. He thinks it is good for us to spend the $10,000. Chapman asks Westphal if something comes from an external request if it should be vetted in a resolution and given approval. Westphal says he is hesitating because if he understands what Batman is saying is some of the requests that are Sinclair’s list have not been through committee. Chapman says he understands that but he thought with such items such as Clarity Connect and Union Springs. He says he believes they were fully discussed in committee and had resolutions. He asks why we would not follow same procedure this time. Westphal says the Clarity Connect example was done after the budget was passed so maybe there would be a different distinction. Motion by Whitman to remove the $10,000.00 for the Bass Masters Tournament (A10104-54074), 2nd by Didio, motion passed by majority vote; Ayes- Whitman, Farrell, Runkle, Pecher, Baxter, Bennett, Didio, and Chapman; Noes- Batman, Lattimore, and Foley; Excused- Vitale, Pinckney, Reginelli, and Mahunik; 490/ 167/226. Discussions: Farrell asks Sinclair to research what the ramification would be if we removed Options for Independence, Cayuga Seneca, and SAVAR from the budget com- pletely. He says the Chairman’s proposal goes so far but he would like to be educated as what would happen if they would all disappear rather than a reduction in some of them. He also saw the reduction in regards to CENTRO which he would also like a better education as far as how that works. He says he never realized that we had the ability to be able to say we would like that reduced. Sinclair says that makes two of us. She says she did some research into it. She says we have one contract with CENTRO that is really irrelevant to this line item which is for Wednesday, October 14, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 268 personalized bus service between us and Wayne County. She says apparently there is not a contract with the Regional Transportation Authority that it is a statue. She says she has not had a chance to fins that. She says the letter that was sent to us was dated October 13, 2014. She says it had a statewide figure that was around $794,000 of which we were responsible for a match of something like 5.11 percent. She says it was a $40,000 and something quarterly expenditure which if you multiply by 4 comes out to $163,200. She says it appears at least on the face of that a reduction of $13,000 would be okay. She says she has not had a chance yet to go beyond that to know what the terms are of the statue. Chapman says he did some research and took it to the Treasurer’s Office. He says we have been paying the lower amount of $163,000 and then a larger number has appeared. He says there is no reason to pay the larger number. Farrell asks why when the budget was created that it went to the $176,200. Sinclair says because that is what we did last year and the year before. Motion by Runkle to accept all of the retirement and housekeeping changes to the budget, 2nd by Whitman, all in favor. Discussion on Chairman’s Legislative Changes: Chapman would like to take out $3,000.00 from Option for Independence (A10144- 54136). Runkle asks why he feels we can take $3,000 out. Chapman says the budget number he thinks reflected two accounts. He says the account he talked to Padlick about that has the balance for the handicap violations and that reflects total money spent on that organization. Marinelli says Padlick set it up as trust account and they send it on promoting not parking in handicap spots. She says the account we are discussing is specifically spent on ramps and specific requests for individuals. She says they do not always spend the $5,000 and sometimes it is less. She says they do historically spend the money but it is optional. Chapman says if the majority is not in favor of this then we can skip it and all are in favor of not taking the money out. Motion by Baxter to not remove $30,000.00 (per Chapman’s proposal) from the Cornell Cooperative Extension budget (A29804-54000), 2nd by Batman, all in favor except, Whitman, Foley, Pecher, and Chapman. Discussion: Farrell asks what the ramifications of a $30,000 would be and Ververs answers positions/salaries. Lattimore asks Ververs how much it multiplies when the county gives a buck. Ververs responds it is about 2.5 times the appropriation. Baxter says last year’s cut to Cornell was quite crippling. He says people are working a four day week instead of five. He says money that we cut Cornell must cut and it cost the extension double what we cut. He says that it is a place that provides services to needy people. Pecher believes that Cornell Co Op is basically pointless nowa- days. He says that it has outlived its need. Batman thinks we need to make the decision on whether or not we support it or not. Foley asks if we had to go the route of making cuts on positions if Sinclair has any recommendations for those we would cut. Sinclair says it is not a list that she has written down. She says she Wednesday, October 14, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 269 would want to work with the departments and she is not interested in publishing anything. She says if the legislature decides they needs to cut positions then she will do that and she will work with the department heads to make sure her ideas are the least disruptive to their department. Foley says the reason he asks is because he does not want to take anything off the table and to have different options. Motion by Farrell to remove $13,000.00 from CENTRO (A56304-54000), 2nd by Runkle, all in favor. Motion by Baxter to only cut from the prior year allocation by $34,000.00 from Soil & Water (A87304-54000), 2nd by Didio. Motion by Batman to strike the request to remove $50,000.00 Soil & Water budget (A87304-54000), 2nd by Runkle. Motion by Baxter to amend the motion to reduce the cut that is in the budget to $34,000.00 instead of $64,000.00 from the Soil & Water budget (A87304-54000), 2nd by Didio, motion defeated by show of hands. Motion on original motion by Batman to strike the request to remove $50,000.00 Soil & Water budget (A87304-54000), motion defeated by show of hands. Discussion: Chapman says that he added another $50,000 to the cut. He says the amount of dollars that other counties throughout New York State provide to Soil & Water’s and without a doubt Cayuga County is still in the lead. Lattimore says he knows other counties might not have the amount of agriculture business that we have and because of percentage we have ours will be larger. He says the lakes that are in jeopardy we need soil and water to maintain them. He says our lakes are more important than some of our other issues. Baxter says after a lot of discussion their cut was reduced to $35,000 last year instead of $68,000. He says the argument he had at that time was if we were going to wean them off we could do it a little slower than just taking those large amounts away. He says it was somewhat agreed in our discussions last year that we would take away $35,000 away each year giving them time to stay on their feet. He thinks it would be a reasonable approach to go. Runkle asks Kierst how other counties can survive or what do they not do that our county does. Kierst says the general answer is that all of the programs are differ- ent. He says a lot of other counties are perfectly content with having two people working there, doing drainage tiles and surveying. He says the difference that might separate us form Wyoming County is the amount of fresh drinking water we have at our fingertips. He says our water is pretty important to protect. He says another difference is the way that it is labeled. He says the money is not really separated out it is an appropriation. He says other counties have other programs and different counties do different things. Motion by Runkle to increase the Interest Earnings (A13250-42401) by $9,000.00, 2nd by Didio, all in favor. Wednesday, October 14, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 270 Motion by Farrell to not make any reduction in the Promotion of Industry (A80214- 54000 & A80214-54084), 2nd by Foley, all in favor.

Motion by Runkle to put back in $200.00 in Veterans Telephone (A65104-54075), 2nd by Farrell, all in favor.

Michael Chapman, Chairman called the meeting to order at 6:31PM ROLL CALL: Sheila Smith, Clerk of the Legislature all Legislator’s present except Hans Pecher and Tim Lattimore PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: MOMENT OF PRAYER: TOPIC: Department Budget Reviews Judicial & Public Safety Public Works Health & Human Services Motion by Batman to take out $174,000.00 of the 1.3 so our tax cap is 1.25 so when we ask how we are doing the answer will be what the draw on the fund balance is, 2nd by Foley, all in favor except Whitman, Didio, Baxter, and Chapman. Motion by Farrell to reduce the sales tax to a one percent increase over last year, 2nd by Runkle, motion passed by majority vote, all in favor. Motion by Chapman to keep the $103,370.00 in Buildings & Grounds Budget and move it from cleaning costs to the building maintenance line, 2nd by Whitman, motion passed by majority vote; Ayes – Whitman, Vitale, Pinckney, Runkle, Baxter, Bennett, Reginelli, Mahunik, Didio, and Chapman; Noes- Farrell, Batman, and Foley; Excused- Pecher and Lattimore; 604/170/109. Discussion: Farrell says our elevator costs from year to year are $12,000.00 per building. He asks Duckett what that cost is for. Duckett says it is annual maintenance and some things that are not covered. He says last year we got reduced rates that is why we are in better shape. Farrell asks what the annual cost would look like if we re- placed them all. Duckett says the sometimes he has found it is easier to maintain the old stuff. He says there would still need be a maintenance agreement. Foley asks if Duckett can still maintain some projects with just 50,000. Duckett says his point is that they can spend as little or as much but sooner or later something will happened and we need to pay the piper. Mahunik offers the suggestion that this is a no brainer to maintain the 103,000 and take care of our infrastructure. Foley asks Duckett if he can still maintain some projects he wants to improve upon with Wednesday, October 21, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 278 just $50,000.00. Duckett says we can spend as little or as much as the legislature chooses to spend. He says the buildings need to be maintained and he could defi- nitely use the money. Motion by Farrell to reduce the Buildings & Grounds Vacation Buyout line (A16201 51008) from $10,250.00 to $0.00, 2nd by Bennett, motion passed by majority vote, all in favor. Discussion: Farrell asks about the vacation buyout and if it contractual. Duckett says he questioned that himself and says it was based on 2014 when two people left. He says at this point we do not have anyone retiring but could potentially. Motion by Farrell to reduce the Agricultural Museum Equipment Trackable line (A7112-52100) from $10,000.00 to $0.00, 2nd by Bennett, motion defeated by ma- jority vote; Noes- Whitman, Runkle, Baxter, Didio, Foley, Chapman; Ayes- Vitale, Farrell, Pinckney, Batman, Bennett, Reginelli, and Mahunik; Excused- Pecher and Lattimore; 394/380/109. Discussion on Highway Budget: Chapman asks Sinclair about the maintenance on the roads and bridges. He says he 2014 we had over 2 million dollars and we seem to be going down. Sinclair says the infrastructure with the highway could use some work. Sinclair says she is not clear on what he is asking. Chapman asks why we are heading in that direction because now it is 1.6 million. Sinclair says this number is not one she believes she put in. Chapman asks about the paving line and it has only increased half a million. Sinclair says it was all about trying not to hit the fund balance too much and stay on the tax cap. Chapman asks Wethey if he has any comments or con- cerns. Marinelli asks Wethey if he spent more 2014 because of the extra CHIPS funding and the budget was increased to spend it. Pinckney asks Wethey about a wish list from one of the meetings that was about 6 or 7 million to do everything. He asks if that is a correct number and Wethey responds yes. He says so here we are trying to band aid it with $500,000 for the roads. He says this is why we are never going to get caught up. Chapman says that is his point too because we need some bugger numbers if we are going to fix anything. Vitale says with contractual being down a little over $700,000 and machine rental is almost $600,000 so that difference was all in one line. He says Wethey didn’t ask for anymore in machin- ery rental. He says in 2014 we did something different because just in that one line is where $600,000 is. He says he is not so concerned if Wethey is saying he is not going to have to rent the machines that he rented then. He says to the increas- ing by only $500,000 that he is sure there is not a single legislator here that would not put 2 million into paving our roads but we also have a responsibility to create a budget that fits where our resources are. He thinks increases by $500,000 is the appropriate thing to do. Foley asks Wethey if there is any type of plan for 500,000 and Wethey says is paves about 5.5 to 6.5 miles of road. Batman says he would go back to what Mahunik said and what we need to do is look at all of our capital Wednesday, October 21, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 279 needs and looking at windfall amounts which requires analysis and a plan. He says we did authorize a review of the roads and when it is done we decide what to do with the roads. He says his biggest concern is what we are spending on opera- tions. Didio asks when he thinks it would be the best time to do this. Batman says when we have the analysis of the roads. Wethey says hoping by the end of the year we will have the results. Farrell asks about the paving line that was originally 3.5 million and was reduced to 2.5 million. He says so when we talked about talking the one million dollars out and adding it back into capital improvements we are putting 500,000 or a million back in the paving line. Sinclair says the labor is unknown and is all budgeted through highway till we are clear on where it will go. She says she recognizes the dire to need to improve roads but there will be sepa- rate parts to the capital plan. Runkle asks about a line called professional services that in 2014 we spent $7,000 and this year adopted a $60,000 budget and next year back to $25,000. He asks what goes into it that makes it vary so much. Wethey says this year it jumped very high due to the one man plowing. Whitman asks about the paving line and the $500,000 added back into it is coming from fund balance. Sinclair responds that it would be coming out of fund balance. Whitman says he agrees with Batman and does not like to see fund balance being used for yearly budget items. Motion by Whitman to not take the $500,000.00 out of fund balance and that it goes onto the tax levy, 2nd by Baxter. Discussion: Marinelli says there are separate fund balances for the D and the DM. She says to use the D or DM has no effect on the tax levy. She says if the motion is made it can be drawn out of their fund balance. She says the A fund balance would stay the same. Sinclair says if she understands correctly Whitman does not want to use any fund balance. Whitman says correct he does not want to use any fund balance to repair roads. Runkle suggest s waiting until the end of the session to decide where the money comes from because we are not changing the budget right now. Motion by Whitman to withdraw his motion until further time. Discussion on Highway Budget: Batman asks with 5110 line item in regards to snow plowing salaries. He says he understands this is a cautionary move to wait and see but he asks if there is any projection on what might be saved with one man plowing. He says the intent was to save funds. Sinclair says she has not done the calculation. Batman would like to see the numbers and take that amount and put it in contingency to track the savings that requires action if we do not save the money. He requests that we get those numbers in the future. Chapman asks about the Highway Equipment Trucks line (DM51302-52002). Whitman asks Wethey if he needs $700,000.00 to maintain the fleet then why he requested $162,000.00. Wethey says that he did not. Whitman asks why it says that and Sinclair responds because she reduced it. Sinclair says she did it based on the Wednesday, October 21, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 280 idea that those expenditures would fall in the capital category. Whitman says so the department request line in the budget does not reflect the department heads request. Sinclair says no it does not. Whitman asks if that is true for the whole budget and Sinclair says pretty much. Whitman asks why we have that line. Sinclair responds because it was done when she came in and she was not sure how the whole process was going to go. Whitman says so this body does not truly know what the department heads are requesting for their budget. Sinclair says that would be correct. Motion by Whitman to increase Highway Equipment Trucks line (DM51302-52002) to $700,000.00, 2nd by Baxter. Motion by Batman to amend amount to $350,000.00 and we put it in contingency so we can track the expenditure, no 2nd. Whitman’s original motion defeated by majority vote; Noes- Vitale, Farrell, Pinckney, Batman, Baxter, Bennett, Reginelli, Mahunik, Didio, Foley, and Chapman; Ayes- Whitman and Runkle; Excused- Pecher and Lattimore; 635/139/ 109. Discussion on Whitman motion: Batman asks when the capital replacement schedule was done. Wethey says he believes in 2013. Batman says we well may need to spend more than this but to look at it as a capital plan is a good one. He says one of the things that we talked about for this year are one person plowing and the possibility of contracting with the towns for repaving. He says if we do some of those things then our need for equipment will go down. Whitman agrees with Batman and that those are our hopes and dreams but if that doesn’t happen then we will be right where we were with equipment. He says until we start seeing those savings roll in we need to keep maintaining business as usual. Chapman asks Wethey if we have pick up towns with more roads to plow and Wethey says that is correct. Chapman asks if we contracted out a little more paving this year and Wethey says correct. Chapman says it takes time to develop these plans and energy from the committee. He thinks we put be in a pretty precarious situation if we did not put more money into this line. Motion by Chapman to increase Highway Equipment Trucks line (DM51302-52002) to $350,000.00, 2nd by Whitman, motion defeated by majority vote; Noes- Vitale, Farrell, Pinckney, Batman, Baxter, Bennett, Reginelli, Mahunik, Didio and Foley; Ayes- Whitman, Runkle, and Chapman; Excused- Pecher and Lattimore; 560/214/ 109. Discussion on Highways Budget: Chapman asks Wethey about the building maintenance line on page 212. He says we had $5,000.00 in 2014 and now we are going to bring it down to $3,000.00. He asks if this is a reasonable number and how much he asked for. Wethey says he does not remember but he thinks probably around $4,500.00. Vitale asks about the gas line and if the numbers are accurate. Runkle asks for the number for where we are year to date. Whitman says we do not know what Wethey requested for gas. Wednesday, October 21, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 281 Wethey responds that it is probably close to what he asked for. Whitman says he did not realize we did not know what the departments were requesting in this budget. He says he is scared to continue with it. Mahunik agrees and wants to know what the timeframe would be to get a budget that shows what the department really requested. Sinclair says she could do it fairly quickly. She says she did hand out sheets in the beginning of the process of changes. Runkle says our County Administrator is given the job to bring the Legislature a balanced budget per recommendations. He says she has sat down with department’s heads and made changes. He says the department heads are here now so they can discuss the different areas. He says he would hope we do not delay the process by waiting for the departments actual requests. Mahunik does not disagree with the changes made but he would like to see what they were. He asks why the line is even there if it is not reflecting what they actually asked for. He would feel more comfortable going forward with that information. Chapman asks when she thought she could have numbers. Sinclair says she cannot say precisely but by Monday probably. Motion by Didio to adjourn until we get the figures for the department heads actual requests at 7:43PM, 2nd by Reginelli, motion defeated by majority vote; Noes- Vitale, Farrell, Pinckney, Runkle, Batman, Baxter, Bennet, Reginelli, Foley, and Chapman; Ayes- Whitman, Mahunik, and Didio; Excused- Pecher and Lattimore; 626/148/109. Motion by Runkle to reduce Highway Gas Line (DM51314-540320) from $841,000.00 to $600,000.00, 2nd by Didio. Motion by Runkle to amend his motion to add that we reduce the Highway Dept Riem revenue line (DM51300-41272) by $100,000.00, 2nd by Vitale. Motion defeated by majority vote; Noes- Whitman, Farrell, Pinckney, Bennett, Reginelli, Mahunik, and Chapman; Ayes- Vitale, Runkle, Batman, Baxter, Didio, and Foley; Excused- Pecher and Lattimore; 389/385/109. Motion by Batman to increase Weights & Measures Auto Expense line (A66104- 54008) by $2,000.00, 2nd by Runkle, motion passed by majority vote, all in favor. Motion by Vitale to reduce Highway Fuel Oil line (DM51304-54031) from $678,000.00 to $578,000.00, 2nd by Didio, motion defeated by majority vote; Noes- Whitman, Farrell, Pinckney, Bennett, Mahunik, and Chapman; Ayes- Vitale, Runkle, Batman, Baxter, Reginelli, Didio, and Foley; Excused- Pecher and Lattimore; 337/437/109. Motion by Bennett to eliminate the whole boat patrol unit, 2nd by Farrell, motion defeated by majority vote; Noes- Whitman, Vitale, Farrell, Pinckney, Runkle, Baxter, Reginelli, Mahunik, Didio, Foley, and Chapman; Ayes- Batman and Bennett; Excused- Pecher and Lattimore; 657/117/109. Wednesday, October 21, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 282 Discussion: Bennett does not believe it generates revenue or does what it is supposed to do out there. Gould respects Bennett’s opinion but says without them there would be no safety patrols out there. He says last year our boat patrols saved two lives and those people would not be alive without it. He says the boat patrol is not out there to arrest everyone that violates the law. He says it cost the county $55,000.00. He says that it is 50% reimbursed by the state. He says for $55,000.00 we have 4 boats and we are the only people out on the lakes. He says this county has more fresh water lakeshore than any county in NYS. Didio asks how many arrests or violations were served this summer. Gould says he does not know the numbers exactly but there were arrests. He says they are mainly out there to assist the public and for their safety. Baxter says he really hopes the Sheriff does not put a boat patrol out there and say to bring back the money. He says they are there for the safety pf the people and the most effective thing is the physical presence of them out there. Motion by Chapman to reduce the Inmate Revenue to 1.1, 2nd by Didio, motion defeated by majority vote; all voting no except Whitman and Chapman; Excused- Pecher and Lattimore; 646/128/109. Discussion: Batman asks if there will be an associated decrease in expenditure. Gould says there will be as far as meals but that is all. He says it is mandated on the amount of cells it does not matter how many inmates are in there. Discussion on DA Budget: Chapman says we have not received copies of the quarterly reports sent to Albany. He asks if the reports reflect a certain amount of dollars. Budelmann says the reports have all been filed but he can get them to the legislature. Chapman says his questions was if the reports associate dollars. Budelmann says that they do show the costs. Chapman makes a request to see those going forward because the original deal was that the grants would pay for everything. Budelmann says they will scan all of the reports and send them out. Bennett asks Budelmann about the conference fees and why the amount asked for has gone up. Budelmann says he is not sure. Foley asks what the dollar amount of the local share we will get for the assigned council. Budelmann says he does not know it would be up to DSS. He points out this year the program generated a surplus of over $36,000.00 but next year it is not going to generate as big of surplus. Motion by Chapman to make the adjustments within the DA’s Budget (attached), 2nd by Baxter. Discussion on Chapman’s motion: Farrell asks if Marinelli has gotten a chance to wrap her head around it. Marinelli says yes basically the adjustment that will be made are increasing each revenue by $63,844.00 and decreasing one expense account by $799.00 which is based on the application just submitted. Farrell says so we do not know if the money is going to be there and Marinelli says we do not know. Sinclair says it might want Wednesday, October 21, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 283 to be put off till after the 16th if the legislature is concerned because that is when the reward is supposed to be made. Farrell asks Marinelli where we are for 2015. Marinelli says for 2015 the one thing that is different is the $60,000.00 in DS revenue that we Motion by Batman to restore $75,000.00 into the Provision for Salary Adjustment (A10174-54000), 2nd by Foley, motion defeated by majority vote; all voting no except Batman; Excused- Pecher and Lattimore; 706/68/109.

He says it is important for it to be a top priority and increase different organizations that help the lake. He says the budget needs to really be increased for Soil & water. Terry Lattimore says he seen the degradation of the lake. He says we need to change our thinking because if we lose the lake we will lose everything in the county. He says Soil and Water is a critical aspect of the solution to make the lake correct. Ed Wagner- Supervisor for Town of Owasco wants to encourage the legislature to restore and increase funding. He says for him it is all about the drinking water and we need to protect it. Rick Nelson says we need to spend more money now he believes the federal or state might come down with mandates to provide better solutions for our officially impaired lake. Julie Lockhart- resident of Owasco— she says she just moved recently and it is so lovely. She wants to urge the legislators that ignoring the problem does not make it go away. She says you have to ask questions to people who know the answers. She sees a need for education and communication. She talks about the toxic levels and the complexity of the issues. Deb McCormick – City Council-says we have a beautiful place that we need to take care of. She says Soil and Water does so much for the County and provide a lot of services. She says to cut funds on the watershed inspection program would be a step backwards. She says it is very serious what is going on with the lake and so much of our economy depends on our natural resources. Wednesday, November 18, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 306 Michael Broughton is concerned on the direction the legislature has taken with property taxes. He says the City/County school tax bill is outrageous. He says it represents 7 percent of his gross income. Dan Soules discusses the lake and it is probably the most important reason his family is here He says we have to protect this water and if we do not take care of the water we have nothing to pull people here. He says there is $330 million on the lake of property taxes and if we took care of the lake it could be increased by 20 percent. He says it is a major investment but he would bet on the lake. Andy Riendfleisch says we need to publicize that we have these great lakes. He would ask the county to support the Bass Masters Tournament. He says they will work hard to make sure that the legislature get that money back. Motion by Didio to restore the $64,852.00 to Soil & Water (comes from fund balance), 2nd by Baxter. Discussion: Batman says we have to find ways on focusing our money to improve the quality of the lake but he is not sure if restoring it to Soil & Water is the best way to do it. He says this is a state, city, and federal problem and perhaps we should pursue the towns and city to see if they can contribute to the $64,000. Pecher says he is opposed to restoring the money because we have no control of the soil and water district and we are funding at a higher rate than most. Pinckney disagrees and says he has seen the department getting chopped at the knees severely. He says there is not much waste out there at all. Didio says to one cannot compare Cayuga County to other counties Soil and Waters because we have much more work to be involved in. Motion by Vitale to move $64,852.00 out of contingency instead of fund balance, 2nd by Lattimore, defeated by majority vote; Noes- Whitman, Farrell, Pinckney, Runkle, Baxter, Bennett, Mahunik, Lattimore, Didio, and Foley; Ayes- Vitale, Batman, Pecher, Reginelli, and Chapman, 562/321. Discussion: Farrell asks what if the funds were focused more on the Owasco Watershed. Kierst says there is going to be a lot to go into the condition of the lake. He says they sent it grants and they received 5 out of the 9 but 4 are for Cayuga and 1 is for Owasco. Whitman asks what we are going to get for the money. Kierst says it will not fix it. Whitman says we will probably get a study but we need to really try to fix it. Mahunik says his concern is contingency and the impact it would have on grant funding. Kierst says end of the day $64,000.00 out of our budget will cut someone. He says they seek money for implementation. Mahunik says he agrees with Whitman about not using fund balance.

Discussion: says under this particular grant to NYSERDA the county would have to be the applicant to be eligible. He says the body would have to vote to apply for those funds because they would be the applicant. Batman says that is helpful but his concern is that we have a review prior to the application. Whitman says he feels we have the option whether to fund it or not. He feels this seems like another level of micromanagement. He says they put a lot of effort into it and they seek our approval and we have the option to say whether or not we are interested. Batman says that is exactly his pint because they have gone through all the effort and then we do not agree with the application. Motion by Runkle to increase funding to Cayuga Community College by $102,000.00 from the fund balance, 2nd by Didio, Bennett abstains Discussion: Foley thinks it is important that we support the college but his only concern is that they did not come and ask for it. He says DeCinque did not come and ask for funds. He says the way it lines up with budgets is the college formulates their budget in mid-summer and we do ours now. He says unless they come and ask for it we cannot give it to them when they need it to formulate their budget. He says he does support it in general. Mahunik says he is not against the college in any way, shape, or form but his concern is that enrollment is down this year and we are going to make that up with the $102,000.00 contribution. He says problem with that is going into the future we can never back down from that investment and Westphal says that is correct. He says he would rather the college come to us and tell us what they need the money for instead of adding it to their budget. Farrell points out with the drop on enrollment we are seeing a drop in the revenue from the chargebacks from the college. He says we already kind of assisting the college by reducing the revenue they are supposed to give us. Batman calls the question.

Wednesday, November 18, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 311 MINUTES SPECIAL LEGISLATURE MEETING THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 2015, 6:00PM 160 GENESEE ST, 6TH FLOOR, CHAMBERS, AUBURN, NY 13021 CALL TO ORDER: Hon. Michael Chapman, Chairman called the meeting to order to 6:02PM ROLL CALL: Sheila Smith, Clerk of the Legislature all Legislator’s present PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: MOMENT OF PRAYER: PROCLAMATION: William (Bill) Speck Day in Cayuga County, Thursday, November 19, 2015 TOPICS: Information on grid system Russell discusses the project says is trying to address compensation. He says in the external review they looked primarily at department heads feeling that if we were competitive in that area the rest of the program would have the subordinates fall into place. He says in terms of being internally competitive they utilized a point system. He says the point system is designed to provide a rational basis for determining how positions compare with each other. He says it is not an exact science but it is a process to look at position and how they rank with each other. He says during that process there were several suggestions from the legislature on how the point system they obtained could be made better. He says it will be a very effective tool for new positions as they are established. He says when they went to that process they gave the opportunity for department heads to participate. He says it was a new experience for a lot of them but they did a fair and reasonable job. He says they have subsequently taken some time to go through those and smooth that out a little bit. He says he has had conversations with individual department heads and with some other folks in the organization to get some organizational history on those positions. He says they have made some modifications since the original grid. He says some modifications were not vetted with the original group. He says points and surveys are good but they are not an exact science. He says that cost has to be a factor. He says after going through the process they have tried to look at making sure positions were located with similar positions. He says this is an ongoing process and a slow process. He does not think the process ends tonight. He thinks this is going to be an ongoing thing. He says appropriateness for the organization is the responsibility of the legislature. Thursday, November 19, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 312 Chapman asks if evaluations and span of duties receive a certain value in the process. Russell responds that span of duties do. He says the pointing system had certain elements that had to do with how much responsibilities they have, deci- sion making level, level of immediate supervision, and what overall level of super- vision. He says with regard to evaluation he has two observations on that, first, recall back to the earlier discussion of this with the pay scale which is step up with a number of steps. He says the idea is that the people would move through those steps assuming that they had an adequate performance review and it would be basically a merit based system. He says that puts a significant amount of respon- sibility on the committees who are responsible for the oversight of those positions. He says with regard to the initial placement his idea was to get an initial structure in place so he did not integrate what a person’s current circumstance would relate to how they be placed. He says that he would think would be the responsibility of the oversight committee or the legislature. Lattimore says that the grid system is kind of complicated and we have a new board coming on the 1st of the year. He says would it be better to do this after the 1st of the year so everybody understands the grid. Baxter says anyone that is sitting out here now has been working with these people for at least two years. He says it is something we should continue with and take responsibility of doing. Runkle agrees and says it is something the county has needed for years. Lattimore says if we did nothing there is compensation in the budget right now so they will not go without it. Chapman says some of what we see on the grid for a proposed increase seems a little bit high at this time. He says it would require more money be added to the budget. He says as Russell mentioned the responsibility falls to the legislature. He thinks we have a group of people listed that we know very well who have not received any compensation. He says maybe we could come up with a short list of people who need immediate attention and then others who could be looked at in a second round before we adjourn for the year. He says maybe we could limit the adjustments and then continued study of the grid and then further adjustments made later. Russell says he has a document that is sorted by the smallest to the largest adjustments. Batman thinks it is important to separate individuals from the positions in this case. He says what the grid attempts to do is to place a position relative to other positons not individuals relative to other individuals. He says if we have positions that are unfairly compensated then those require attention. He says the other issue is how the people in those positions are doing. He says the thing that we can do now perhaps is take the positions that re clearly out of in terms of salary where they should be. He says those are the ones that we need to focus on. Chapman asks Batman if he is saying that he would move the pay scale according to the grid by position. Batman says he does not understand the question. Chapman says what he heard Batman say was that we should look at the position using this grid and make sure the position is in the right compensation position. Batman says he remains unclear. He says for example if a grade 4 is $45,000-$50,000 and we have a position that is making $40,000 and we agree the person is underpaid they should be compensated. He says we need to decide what is fair pay then we can Thursday, November 19, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 313 decide if the persons are meeting the minimum standards of the job. He says what we want to do right now is look objectively, regardless of personalities, if what we pay people for a certain job in adequate. Russell says he thinks he understands what Batman is saying. He says the idea here is to properly compensate the posi- tion for what the responsibilities are. He says the challenge with that comes with the implementation. He says at that point we do have individuals who are im- pacted by that so compression can be created. He says for example if someone is beyond Step 1 and between 1&2 and perhaps someone who has an equally respon- sible positon comes on at Step 1 and then the other person is not adjusted. Batman understands the issue but he does not think it is concern in this context. He says this is a twostep process. He says today we identified people who are below the scale that need to be adjusted. He says the oversight committees in the next few months can address those kinds of issues Russell is talking about. He says com- pression is not necessarily a bad thing. He says if a person comes in and does a great job and they move up in pay grade while the other person does not there is nothing wrong with compressing those salaries. He says his only point is that these are two totally separate issues and to not confuse them. He says the point is to make certain that people are paid at least the minimal amount they should be. Whitman agrees with Batman but his concern is when these pay grade increases are implemented if it is going to be a 1st of the year implementation. Russell says his thought is that they would be a July 1st basis. Runkle asks if there are any instances in the grid where some folks are working 35 hours per week and some are working 40. Russell says there are some situa- tions where some departments standard work week is 40, 37.5, and some 35. He thinks at the department head level everyone he is aware of works more than 40 hours in a week. He says it is not something we addressed in the process. Runkle asks if anyone knows how the county got to this point where full-time can be 35, 37.5, and 40. Marinelli says some were new departments and it was created that way. She says it is much harder to change what we currently have but newer departments just started out working more. She also wants to point out that some- one might have the title as confidential secretary but it is not necessarily all they do. She says she does not think enough time has been taken to look at everyone’s job duties to see if that is the proper title. She says there are people who have worked here a long time and we cannot say this is their title, this is what they do, and this is their grade on the grid. She thinks there is a varying level of work and skill that we are calling the same people. She says that will take more time to figure out all of that. Vitale says we have had some time to look at the information and he would like to see a short list of people who need to have a bump. He says we need to find a method in order to get some of the people that really deserve more the compensa- tion. He says we really need to get the grade level even with the pay level. He says even if we get half way there and then put it on the agendas for all the committees to look at each individual within their committee. Whitman agrees with Vitale that if we do it in committees it would be a good way to break it up and we might get more done. Thursday, November 19, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 314 Chapman says there are 11 department heads that based on the information we have in front of us that need to that possibly need an adjustment. He wonders if we cannot concentrate on that core group first and then work on a secondary group after that. Farrell thinks the employees have been watching us take positions one at a time and the morale is such because we are saying some are more important than others. He says he would like to move it on also and he is looking at about 25 employees where we are only talking under $1,000 dollars. He agrees this is going to take a lot of time and more than this evening. He says for the sake of showing some kind of compensation and respect to our employees to take all of the ones that are under the $1,000 dollar limit right off the table which eliminates about 25 that we have to consider. He says then we move into the raises between the amounts of $1,000-$2,000, $2,000-$3, 0000, etc. and break it down into those groups. He says if we broke these down into those groups and put them into the committees in December and did the executive session to discuss the group of employees who are looking for raises between the amounts $4,000-$6,000. He says that committee can dissect those and we can come up with a dollar figure. He says we are not going to be able to decide by the end of the year whether or not the person is going to get the 25% raise but let’s come up with a figure of compensation that at least we can work on. He says at least we are not telling those employees to it back and wait while we take care of one group. He says at least we can put respect on all levels and do something for them in the immediate future. Russell says that information is available and it we can look at it if it is the will of the legislature. Farrell says that is his recommendation and he would like to put it in the form of a resolution. Chapman asks Farrell if he is making that a motion and Farrell responds yes. Motion by Farrell on the above statements, 2nd by Bennett. Discussion: Runkle says this presumes that we are blessing the grid which we have not done. Farrell says it does not presume and that is what he is trying to say. He says when we individualize these in committee the grid can be brought up. Batman says he would like a reinstatement of the motion. Farrell says he would like to break the positions down by pay raise and as he said those under $1,000 dollars we take off the table at this time. He says break down all those individuals according to this supposed to get between the amounts of $1,000-$2,000, $3,000-$4,000, $5,000-$6,000, and then everyone that is over $6,000. He says to take those positions put them into the committee in December in executive session and come up with a dollar figure that we feel would justify not getting them where they need to be but showing them some kind of compensation by the end of the year. Runkle says his concern is when we go to committee we do not talk about the performance of the person. Vitale thinks it would be helpful for Russell to give us a spreadsheet for the lowest to highest adjustments that need to be made. He says he would also like to see the grade levels compared because he does not think there will be a huge difference but a helpful tool to look at.

CCC REPORT: Dr. Brian Durant- Attached Discussion: Foley says this past week we were trying to increase the college’s fund. He says Runkle proposed about a $100,000.00 increase. He says he wanted to get Durant’s take on it and maybe next year if he could possibly be coming to the legislature to increase the county share. He says that because some of the legislators had voted against it because the college had not asked. Durant says they certainly appreci- ate the advocacy. He says from his perspective they are in the early stages of developing next year’s budget for the college. He says we certainly are still explor- ing the idea of regionalization and looking at that prospect as a way to help support our bonding in the future. He says as he has mentioned before we are serving above 60% of students who are not from Cayuga County. He says we Tuesday, November 24, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 317 certainly need to look at all avenues for increased funding and support in absence of it coming from the local level at the county. He says we need to look at the state level otherwise we are putting it on the backs of our students.

MOTION NO. 390-15 Motion by Pinckney to repeal Resolution No. 159-13 (Effective January 1, 2016, Medical, Health and Dental Insurance benefits will be available for Cayuga County Legislators, their Family or dependents on that condition that the Legislator pays one hundred per-centum (100.00) of the Medical, Health and Dental Insurance premium), 2nd by Didio. Discussion: Pinckney asks Westphal if it is conflicting with our United Healthcare situation. Westphal says it is his opinion that it is conflicting with the Affordable Care Act. Pinckney asks if moving forward if we are doing disenchantment or are we going the right direction. Westphal says he thinks repealing the resolution would clear up any misunderstandings that the federal government may have with what the intent is of the legislature. He says if it is not on the books then there is no reason for anybody to criticize the resolution. Mahunik says he would assume this could go through committee in December. Pinckney asks when the payments are due for the legislators going off the insurance. Westphal says the treasurer’s office says the premiums for January are due in December which is next month. Baxter says he believes that the Obama Care Law says that people have to be offered the medical insurance it doesn’t say thing about what percentage they have to pay of it. Westphal says his understand- ing is that the insurance has to be available under the same terms and conditions. He says what this resolution does is changes the terms and conditions by requir- ing that the legislators and family pay 100% of the premium whereas other full- time employees of the county only have to pay an employee share. Chapman says Peter Jones has indicated that they did not find in their research any differentia- tion or special circumstance for elected persons. Motion by Mahunik to table and send through committee, 2nd by Bennett, all in favor, except Vitale, Batman, Pinckney and Lattimore voting no, passed. Motion tabled. Discussion: Vitale says he has been considering what are plan for going to each separate committee and doing some of this work. He says he has thought a little bit differ- ently that if each committee is going to review the people under their department then it will be done a little bit differently in each committee. He says he would like us to come up with a plan on doing that a little bit differently after January Tuesday, November 24, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 343 1st. he says what is in front of the Legislators tonight is something he would like to move forward on and it would be effective January 1, 2016. He says what he did was took the minimum salary for each grade of the County Employees and the people who were below the minimum grade he determined what the difference was and he took 40% of that. Vitale proposes on the last column of the spreadsheet that 40% of the difference between the minimum grade and their current salary and all together the total is $69,788.00 dollars. He says we have what he believes is around $90,000.00 dollars’ worth of savings through our retirement system this year. Chapman says it is quite a bit more than that and says it is more like $590,000.00. Vitale says his thinking is doing this before the end of the year it takes effect January 1st it would give the legislature time in the first early months of 2016 to take an appropriate look at all of the positions, grade placements, and step placements. He says he continues to disagree with the whole grid as it is done presently. He says as a basis he would look to using the grade placements that we have on the sheets to at least get a start toward reconciling some if the differences that we have here. MOTION NO. 391-15 Motion by Vitale as of January 1, 2016, do the pay increases that are on the last column of the spreadsheet (40%) and make it available for anyone that does not have it at this time, 2nd by Batman. Discussion: Chapman asks if Vitale is starting with what people have at their current salary and Vitale says yes. He asks Vitale if he realizes that in 2015 many of these folks would receive the 1.5 and 1.75 in 2016. He says that will bring the current salary up to another level. Vitale responds that is particularly why he is not recommending more than 40-50%. He thinks the 40% gives us enough leeway that once the other salary increases come into effective then in early 2016 we can see all those num- bers specifically. He says it will give us enough leeway to make appropriate adjust- ments at that time. Chapman says as long as we keep in mind going forward this is only a guide. He says it is arguable that there is a number of people here that are in the wrong step or grade. Vitale agrees and says it is definitely needs to be reviewed in early 2016. Whitman says he is confused of what we agree on and what we do not agree on. He says he is having a hard time just throwing money at employees to maybe make them happy while we try to figure something out. He says he would rather figure it out and get a process instead. He says how we know that 40% is not more than we are going to agree on for the first step with some of them. He says he would rather do something orderly or intelligently. Baxter says he disagrees and says we have been intelligently putting this off for a while and it is time to do something. He says we are not throwing money we are just trying to get somewhere in the ballpark of where we need to be. Tuesday, November 24, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 344 Motion by Baxter to amend the motion to go to the 50%, 2nd by Pinckney, all in favor, except Runkle, Pecher, Whitman and Farrell voting no. Passed. Motion as amended, all in favor. Discussion: Farrell says he agrees with Vitale on the concept and it might very well be where we end up. He says he also agrees with Russell’s statement that our employees are our most valuable asset and if so then they deserve the fact that the legislators would show up to the committees in December and give it the attention that it needs. He does not agree with the complete list and that is why he does not want to see a summation like this put together without conversations taken place. Pinckney says he would support what Baxter has said but if we were going to do this thor- oughly it should have been done a long time ago. He says if we are not going to move swiftly and set dates then we should go with the 50% to have some move- ment. Mahunik says he thinks there has been a lot of work done and to get 15 people to agree to this is a pretty tall order. He thinks making the motion to go to 50% is appropriate and gives us room to go back to committee which he encour- ages in December. He thinks we need to make some kind of movement on this and then we can go on and reexamine any existing questions. Runkle agrees with Farrell and thinks it should be decided in committee. Batman says Vitale’s mo- tion is not a review of positons based upon what individual legislators know about the person who does that work or how. He says what we are saying here is that there are certain positions that are way under paid and other are not too bad. He says by going the 40-50% does not eliminate the review at all it is narrowing the gap. Mahunik says as a point of caution the discussions in committee should not be about individual department heads it should be about the position. He says it is not an evaluation tool it is getting people where they should be. Motion as amended, all in favor except Whitman. Discussion: Whitman to cut a position out of the budget that would save the County $126,301.00 dollars. He says the County survived without it and it is a relatively new position in this County and he does not think the County needs it to run. He says we have other people that can fill in and we have done without the position in between people being in it. He says he does not see it as a necessity and it would be a great savings.

He says not being in full compli- ance is a cost of $3,000 per person and it is $5,500 per policy. Foley says we might potentially get fined also people can sue us. Westphal says those are the two that stand out. Batman clarifies the violation would be denying 15 people insurance not just the 3 so the fine could potentially be multiplied by 15.Baxter thinks resolution should be passed. He says if we go against the law we would be giving away money for no purpose at all. Foley says his reason for tabling is he is not sure what the legislators feeling is on the resolution and it might fail. Foley asks Westphal asks what would happen if we did not repeal tonight.

Michael Chapman, Chairman called meeting to order at 6:07PM ROLL CALL: Sheila Smith, Clerk of the Legislature, all Legislators present except Farrell and Lattimore PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: MOMENT OF PRAYER: COMMUNICATIONS: 1. Letter from Chad R. Hayden, Village Attorney, in regards to the proposed agreement between Cayuga County and Clint Halftown 2. Letter from Joseph J. Heath, Attorney at Law, in regards to Cayuga Na- tion and Unauthorized Tax Agreement RESOLUTION: 12-15-LEG-1 Accepting and agreeing to the Cayuga Nation of New York (the “Nation”) proposed Cooperation Agreement with Cayuga County pursuant to which certain grant payments by the Nation to the County would be applied to the 2016 Town/County (including the re-levied 2015-2016 Village and 2015-2016 School taxes), 2016-17 Village and 2016-17 School real property taxes attributed to nine parcels of real property owned by the Nation in the County of Cayuga that are not the subject of the Nation’s trust application currently pending with the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Motion by Chapman, 2nd by Baxter. PUBLIC TO BE HEARD: David Dresser is a consultant on Indian Affairs for Seneca. Attached are two documents that were read from by Dresser. Bud Shattuck- Attached Marilyn Baader- Attached Discussion: Batman asks if we can start by understanding who was in this room when this was negotiated. Chapman says this is a proposal and there were requests and changes made. He says he met in October with representatives from the Village of Union Tuesday, December 22, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 388 Springs, the Town of Springport and Mr. Batman was present and an update was given. He says in the last meeting members present were Mr. Spillane, Gould Westphal, Halftown, Two Guns, Dan French (Attorney), and himself. Batman asks prior to the meeting who was in the room. Chapman says there has been a number of meetings and conference recalls where they have also spoken with the BIA. Batman clarifies that at the October meeting and one statement that was made by Chapman was that any discussions going forward were not going to involve any givebacks, quid pro quo, or anything restricting the county of any other munici- palities. He says when they asked if it would be possible for others to participate he says Chapman made the statement that the Cayuga’s would not talk to anyone but him. He says this body has appreciated on those rare occasions when we have heard some general information but that is hardly being up to speed. He says the reasons that is so important and one of the problems with the agreement is that it is being done without the input of the municipalities, this body or members of the public that are affected which is a major issue. Pinckney says as far as the BIA he says it seems there has not been much movement as far as recognition and he is puzzled to why that has not been done. He says if any of the legal counsel can give us an update life would a lot easier with the recognition from the BIA once and for all. Call into Mr. Rivera- Chapman asks Rivera on whether or not Halftown has au- thority to enter into the agreement and whether it would be good, bad or indiffer- ent. Rivera says as a mediator for this he says it would be good because they are authorized. He says they are the component in Cayuga County of the last feder- ally recognized government for Cayuga Nation which consists of Clint Halftown, Gary Wheeler, and Tim Twoguns. He says that is also who they are negotiating with around their issue. He says they have the governmental authority to enter into governmental relations with the county. He says he encouraged that this legislature takes this move for public safety and security in the county. Runkle asks Westphal what risks legal or unforeseen that he would see for the County in signing this. Westphal says if he is asking for legal advice he would suggest that Spillane and himself talk because we might be getting into areas of strategy and he would not like to disclose that here. He says from what he has heard though Mr. Rivera thinks Halftown has the authority to enter into this type of agreement. Chapman asks counsel to correct him if he is wrong but Cayuga County is not recognizing any special recognition. He says for him it appears to be an opportunity to alleviate the pressure for this body to stop taking money from every other taxpayer and making Union Springs, Springport, and the school sys- tem whole. He says he does not see anything more complicating than that. He says there is nothing binding here in the sense of a contract that we would have the ability to enforce. He says anybody can walk away at any time. He says it appears that this is a fresh start and an offer to get the taxes paid. He says this body will have the opportunity in 2016 to meet with Mr. Halftown and his counterparts to maybe enhance an agreement for the future.

Cooperation Agreement Between Cayuga County and the Cayuga Nation of New York General Principles This Cooperation Agreement Between Cayuga County and the Cayuga Nation of New York (this “Agreement”) has its origins in the historic Silver Covenant Chain of Friendship, which dates back to the formation of the United States and its government- to-government treaty relationship with the Cayuga Nation, as well as with the other members of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. The term “chain of friendship” refers to a series of treaties made between the Haudenosaunee nations and the United States, including the 1794 Treaty of Canandaigua. The Haudenosaunee decided that the chain should be represented by silver because it is a white and pure metal, symbolizing the sincerity and great value attached to the bonds of friendship so created between Indian and non-Indian nations. The word “covenant” means a mutual exchange of promises by the parties. In other words, the importance of both parties keeping their word in an agreement. The word “chain” is meant to encourage the parties to meet frequently to “polish the chain” renew the covenants to each other), in order to keep the chain bright and free from tarnish. By meeting together on a regular basis and re-pledging their friendship, the words of the treaties will remain intact for both parties. Consistent with the spirit of friendship embodied in the Silver Covenant Chain, the Tuesday, December 22, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 391 Cayuga Nation desires, within the framework of this Agreement, to assist its neighbors with the education of their children and the provision of governmental services to all citizens by making periodic grant payments to Cayuga County. This Agreement is also an opportunity for Cayuga County and the Cayuga Nation to work together in a manner consistent with the Silver Covenant Chain. The Timing and Amount of the Grant Payments The Cayuga Nation will make grant payments in four installments to Cayuga County and, through the County, to the local municipalities and school districts where the Nation has re-acquired land within its reservation boundaries, defined by the 1794 Treaty of Canandaigua. The amount of each installment and the date on which it will be paid are as follows: December 31, 2015 $75,000 April 1, 2016 $25,000 July 1, 2016 $25,000 October 1, 2016 $25,000 These grant payments are being made with respect to nine properties currently owned and possessed by the Cayuga Nation in Cayuga County that are not the subject of the trust land application currently pending before the Bureau of Indian Affairs (the “Properties”). This Agreement will take effect upon its execution by both parties, after adoption of a Resolution by the Cayuga County Legislature authorizing such execution, and will run through 2016. Prior to the end of 2016, the Nation and the County will meet to discuss whether this Agreement shall be renewed and, if so, on what terms. This Agreement shall terminate immediately in the event the Village of Union Springs is successful in its litigation against the Nation’s Class II gaming facility. No restrictions are placed on the use of the grant payments; however, the following conditions must be continually satisfied to receive these grants: Cayuga County and each municipality shall should maintain a government-to-gov- ernment relationship with the Cayuga Nation, in the spirit of the covenant chain of friendship; and The tax assessor (or other appropriate official) for Cayuga County and each affected Municipality and school district shall credit 100% of any grant payments made by the Nation against the 2016 Town/County property taxes (including any re-levied 2015-16 Village and School taxes) and the 2016-17 Village and the 2016-17 School property taxes assessed against the Properties, with any excess monies held in escrow as a credit for the benefit of the Nation if the Agreement is renewed, or returned to the Nation prior to December 31, 2016, if it is not renewed or it is terminated prior to such date. Motion by Bennett to adjourn at 7:35PM, 2nd by Didio, all in favor. Tuesday, December 22, 2015
