211 Tuesday, July 26, 2016 MINUTES CAYUGA COUNTY LEGISLATURE Tuesday, July 26, 2016 at 5:00PM in Chambers CALL TO ORDER: Hon. Keith Batman, Chair called the meeting to order at 5:00 P.M. ROLL CALL: Sheila Smith, Clerk of the Legislature. All Legislators present. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: MOMENT OF PRAYER: PRESENTATIONS: Fund Balance and Multi-year Budget • Fund Balance Presentation (Attached to Original Minutes): Jennifer Indelicato Indelicato discusses unappropriated fund balance. She says we have to think of unappropriated fund balance as a year-end figure. She says year-end in 2011, we had a 19.3 million dollar fund balance, in 2012 it went down to 15.9 million, and in 2013 it was 13.5 million. In 2014 it went up to 19.3 million, which was due to the nursing home closing, which was a one-time increase, so we will not see this again. In 2015 there was an increase which was a fluke occurrence due to state trainings. She says we are not at year end for 2016 and do not have final figures yet, but we have budgeted to use $1.745 million. Indelicato wants to state that fund balance is not something to be thought of mid-year like cash flow is. Until we get to the end of the year and know all of our revenues and expenditures, we will not be certain of our fund balance. Lattimore asks what the requirement is by State Law. Indelicato says we have a County policy; Sinclair says it is 10-15% of rev- enues, which is not a State requirement. • Multi-year Budget Presentation (Attached to Original Minutes): Lynn Marinelli Marinelli put together a projection for the next 3 years of how our operations could look. She says she grouped things into big revenues including the property tax levy, the sales tax amount that we keep, general fees of different departments, inmate revenue, the AMH tax revenue, transfers, State Aid, and Federal Aid. She discusses expenses and says the largest expenses are salaries and fringe benefits. She says Medicaid and other programs are also a large expense. She says the projected 2016 budget is based on the savings that the Departments put together. She is projecting that we will use about $1.5 million of the fund balance instead of the $1.7 that we budgeted for, and she says this is not much better than we nor- mally do which is because the sales tax is off. Based on her knowledge, she used educated guesses in terms of salary increases, fringe benefit increases, and rev- enues in different departments and mathematically applied these to get the 2017, 2018, and 2019 projected budgets. She put a 1.5% increase for sales tax off of what we should get this year, which means we will need to drop the budget number. This is driving the projections in 2017. She says Health Insurance may go up in 2017, ---PAGE BREAK--- 212 but she will not know for sure for a couple of months. She used a 2% increase in the Highway to cover the increased staff costs and she says investing more in this department with roads or equipment would not be a large increase in investment. She says the 2017 projection column includes the new motor vehicle fee of $400,000. With this fee, we are still looking at a draw on the fund balance of $1.3 million. If we take the motor vehicle fee out, that becomes a draw of $1.7 million. She says we can easily change the spreadsheet and play with different scenarios. Batman says we will need a special meeting at a later time to look at specifics of the financial information. Dennison asks if the 2018 and 2019 projections have the motor ve- hicle fee included, Marinelli says yes. Lattimore asks Marinelli to state our bud- get and how much of our budget is dedicated to State mandates. Marinelli says expenditures is about $149-$150 million in last year’s budget. Marinelli says a large amount of the dollars we take in are mandated. Batman assumes that every- one agrees that it would be a good move to have a special meeting to look at our current budget and projected budgets, the Legislature agrees. Marinelli says she can play with different numbers or break things up more in the spreadsheet if anyone wants this done. PUBLIC HEARING: Opened at 5:03 PM - TO ADOPT A LOCAL LAW NO. FOR THE YEAR 2016 OF THE COUNTY OF CAYUGA, NEW YORK, ESTAB- LISHING A CAYUGA COUNTY MOTOR VEHICLE TAX PURSUANT TO NEW YORK STATE TAX LAW SECTIONS 1202(a) AND 1202(e) Michael H. Chapman: Cato, NY Chapman says the reasoning for the vehicle tax is a $400,000 gap in sales tax revenues and this tax may garner $425,000. He says the sales tax gap can grow with the calendar to the projected $900,000 and wants to know how that would be addressed. He asks if the number of potential exemptions under the new tax were considered and if businesses with commercial fleets were notified. He read where 38 other counties in New York have a similar tax and asks where their tax rate started and where it is today. He says this type of tax is not a long term solution. The money that is collected would be deposited into the General Fund and unless given dedication and tracked as such, would be much like the monies resulting from the 4% Home Heating Fuel tax that generates approximately $1 million per year. He says the Legislature has an obligation to spend the taxpayer’s money wisely and he thinks creating a new tax should receive a thorough review. He says there was discussion about over-riding the tax cap and he asks that be considered. He thinks we need more recent budget information and he would like to know what expenses are being cut that may address these shortfalls. Dale Bush: Auburn, NY Bush disagrees with holding the Public Hearing on the same night as the vote and is against the vehicle tax. He just renewed his registration and it was $56.00, which is an 18% tax. He hopes a Legislator will add an amendment prior to voting that says any money from the tax be put towards road and bridge repairs. He says the motoring public is being taxed so the money should go towards something that will help them. Tuesday, July 26, 2016 ---PAGE BREAK--- 213 Hans Pecher: Genoa, NY Pecher says he has not heard anyone in favor of the vehicle tax. He would like us to consider cutting expenses. He says some of the services being provided to agencies are not under control of the County and he thinks these services should be paid for by the people who get them. Ronald Chebiniak: Cato, NY Chebiniak says he is opposed to the increase in registration fees. He thinks the County should cut costs and expenses and says we cannot spend money that does not exist. He says there is a big difference in how the private sector and public sector deal with wage problems. He says wages are a large item on the budget and we have to be creative when bargaining with County workers. He says we overspend in salaries. His two largest expenses are housing and healthcare. He thinks County workers should pay more of their own healthcare. He says his assessment is going up, including his school tax and County tax. He hopes we will cut costs in expenses for taxpayers in Cayuga County next year. Deborah Chase: Auburn, NY Chase says she just moved back to the area from St. Louis. She says $430,000 is missing from the Auburn Police Department and says people are moving out of the County due to high taxes. She hopes the tax is not passed. She says every little bit helps with people who are on fixed incomes, so she is weary as to where our money is going. She thinks we need to look at wages and raises. She also wanted to bring up the Merry Go Round Theatre and Downtown. She brings up parking fees for Downtown and says we are losing revenue because people don’t want to go there to pay. She thinks we should solicit to more businesses and drop the tax rate for this area. Batman clarifies and says we do not have anything to do with the Auburn Police Department or Downtown Park. Chris Jorolemon: Weedsport, NY Jorolemon works for a company in Weedsport and says they registered about 700 ve- hicles last year. The business is concerned because they employ County residents. They have begun considering residing in another state to operate their business. He says think- ing about taxes and fees from a business stand point is different and asks the Legislature to look at exemptions for commercial vehicles. Mark Metz: Weedsport, NY Metz registered 244 vehicles in Cayuga County and spent $74,000 in registration last year. His business has multiple locations and he can take his business to these locations. He wants the Legislature to understand how increases in fees affect a business in the County. Michael Currier: Auburn, NY Currier brings up the vote for turf in Auburn, the increase in taxes by the School Board, and the fee for trash collection. He says this total is a large increase and the vehicle fee would add to this. He says people are moving away because of high taxes and fees in Cayuga County. Tuesday, July 26, 2016 ---PAGE BREAK--- 214 Brian Manktelow: Lyons, NY Manktelow is a Town Supervisor and County Legislature and understands the issue. However, he asks we consider the tax and thinks there are other ways to solve the problem. He says the cost should be burdened by the whole County, not just people who own vehicles. Richard Walton: Weedsport, NY Walton asks what these funds will be used for. PROCLAMATIONS: • “Come Together: We Will Find A Cure” July 16 & 17, 2016 EMERGENCY AUTHORIZATIONS: RESOLUTION NO. 238-16 HWY CSEA MOU 10 hour days rev EMERGENCY AUTHORIZATION TO AUTHORIZE THE CHAIRMAN TO SIGN A MOU WITH CSEA Reason for emergency: To allow an earlier start date than waiting for regular scheduled Legislative Meeting. WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 110-15, the County of Cayuga and the Cayuga County Unit of Cayuga Local 806, Civil Service Employees Association, Inc., Local 1000, AFSCME, AFL-CIO entered into a Collective Bargaining Agreement governing terms and conditions of employment for certain employees of the County for the period of January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2018; and WHEREAS, as of the date of this authorization the above contract is still in effect; and WHEREAS, during the summer road rehabilitation season, running from approxi- mately the beginning of May through the end of September, it is not always possible for Highway Department employees to finish projects within the eight hour workday due to the nature of the work, thereby increasing overtime costs; and WHEREAS, it has been decided that by altering the current eight hour work shift, five day work week totaling forty (40) hours, to a ten (10) hour work shift, four day work week totaling forty (40) hours would save money on overtime costs; and WHEREAS, the Employer and the Association have met, negotiated and reached agreement (see attached) concerning the establishment of a ten (10) hour work shift, four day work week schedule for the summer season for employees in the Highway Department and are now prepared to proceed with its implementation; now therefore be it NOW, upon motion made and due deliberation had, it is hereby RESOLVED, that the chair of the Cayuga county Legislature is hereby authorized and directed to execute a MOU (attached) between the County of Cayuga and the Cayuga County Unit of Cayuga Local 806, Civil Service Employees Association, Inc., Local 1000, AFSCME, AFL-CIO concerning the establishment of a ten (10) hour work shift, four day work week schedule for the summer season for employees in the Highway Department. Signed and approved by: Vitale, Batman, McNabb-Coleman, Farrell, and Didio. Tuesday, July 26, 2016 ---PAGE BREAK--- 215 RESOLUTION NO. 239-16 HHS ACH 340B Program rev EMERGENCY AUTHORIZATION TO AUTHORIZE THE CHAIR OF THE CAYUGA COUNTY LEGISLATURE AND THE DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY SERVICES TO EXECUTE AN MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH AUBURN COMMUNITY HOSPITAL TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SECTION 340b DISCOUNT DRUG PROGRAM Reason for emergency request: On July 13, 2016 Auburn Community Hospital re- quested that the County of Cayuga, the Director of Community Services execute a Memorandum of Understanding with the Hospital concerning the section 340B Discount Drug Program. As a condition of participation in certain indigent care pool distributions authorized by Sections 2807-k(9-a) and 2807-w of the New York State Public Health law, and as part of its charitable mission to provide care to indigent individuals residing in its service area without regard for ability to pay, the Hospital has adopted a written Charity Care policy that provides financial assistance in the form of discounts and fee waivers on a sliding scale to individuals who reside in Cayuga County and earn Income at levels of up to 400% of the Federal Poverty level. This policy applies primarily to individuals who do not have Insurance or who have exhausted their insurance and are unable to pay the full cost of their health care. If the Hospital qualifies it allows the Hospital to obtain an approximate 30% reduction in cost for outpatient drugs given and prescribed by the Hospital based providers. It would also allow the Hospital to look at expanding services such as outpatient cancer care that would not be profitable without the discount. The Hospital has never qualified for this before and needs to re-qualify each year. The Hospital has faced fiscal challenges and this program will assist the Hospital with its fiscal challenges One of the ways that the Hospital can make sure it qualifies each year is to open a 10 bed alcohol and drug rehabilitation program. The Hospital is in communication with the NYSDOH to consider this as it would meet a community need and help it financially for the 340B Drug Program NOW, upon motion made and due deliberation had, it is hereby RESOLVED, that the Chair of the Cayuga County Legislature and Director of Community Services are authorized and directed to enter into a Memorandum of Under- standing with Auburn Community Hospital to participate into the section 340B Dis- count Drug Program Signed and approved by Bennett, Batman, McNabb-Coleman, Farrell, and Didio. PUBLIC BE HEARD: If you wish to speak notify your Legislator, who will grant you privilege of the floor. You will be allowed to speak for 3 to 5 minutes. You must state your name and address. • Chairman Keith Batman for Joanne Driscoll: Aurora, New York Driscoll is here from the Southern Tier to discuss Clarity Connect and internet connections. There was a pole placed near her home and she says the tower is higher and has a larger diameter than a telephone pole. She says the pole is not deep enough in the ground and is concerned that a high wind could knock it down because the ground is dry. She says there was no notification that the pole would Tuesday, July 26, 2016 ---PAGE BREAK--- 216 be going up. She thinks there has not been good observation as to where and how the pole was placed. She says there was clearance from the Cayuga County High- way Department and wants them to be aware of the safety issues regarding this. MINUTES: For Approval: June 28, 2016 – Attached, Motion by Pinckney, 2nd by Dennison, all in favor. CCC REPORT: Dr. Brian Durant (To be reported by Jeff Edwards) – Attached COMMITTEE REPORTS & INDIVIDUAL LEGISLATORS’ REPORTS: Discussion on Lattimore’s Solar Panel Report (Attached to Original Minutes) Lattimore presents video on a Landfill Solar Panel Project in Onslow County, North Carolina. He says this could reduce the cost of energy, which could help taxpayers out. Lattimore says we should put solar in the County to reduce our energy needs. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT: Suzanne Sinclair – Attached Discussion: Sinclair says the full time salaries are up .24% and part time salaries are down by 1.17% for the first six months of the year. She says fringe benefits are running low, but this is a cash basis report. She says roads are a concern and the County has spent twice as much so far this year than last year at the same time. She says Medicaid shares were discussed and NYS owes $400 million back to the Federal Government. She says we can expect Medicaid shares to stay stable for the next few years. The Bill has a huge fiscal impact to the State, but it is believed that the Governor will sign the Bill. The estimated cost for implementation is about $390 million compared to the State’s present cost at $35 million. She discusses sales tax and says the decline in gas prices has been significant in sales tax revenue for the County. The average price has dropped about 17.3% across Upstate. She says the sales in Cayuga County have dropped by 28.6% for this year, and sales tax is declining with this. Batman adds that the $400 million mandate from the State is being picked up by our County along with other counties, and this money is coming from our budgets. Sinclair says NYSAC did a survey of what counties contribute to their State government; in NYS, counties contribute 15% of the State’s budget compared to 1-2% in other states. Lattimore says in regards to our sales tax going down directly due to cost of gasoline, he would like the report to factor in that we bought a block of natural gas to heat and cool buildings, which went down. He says as energy costs go down, it hurts our revenue but our expenses would be less. Dennison asks if we can have something showing cuts from each department to show the public. Sinclair says she has a list of the cuts we have made so far but there were one-time items mixed in. She says some of this is unknown but she will make that attempt. Batman says this is something we should have for the meeting on the budgets. Lattimore says the cost of worker’s compensation should be factored in when referring to the health insurance increasing. He would like the risk manager to look at this. Tuesday, July 26, 2016 ---PAGE BREAK--- 217 CHAIR REPORT: Keith Batman Discussion: Batman met with Water and Sewer on their plans regarding the Planning Grant that we have committed to match. He says it is important for people to know what they would do with the money if this Grant is awarded. He says discussions are continuing with CH4 and they will know more in August. He says there have been discussions with the Hospital and the use of the Nursing Home, but there is nothing definitive at this point. He says he has been having meetings to make sure our needs are forefront of our elected officials. Motion by Didio, 2nd by Mahunik, all in favor except Bennett abstains.

Keith Batman, Chair, called the meeting to order at 5:42 P.M. Discussion: Batman says this is not a Legislative Meeting. There are no motions or voting, just discussion. We will focus on the topics of our finances and our budget. MEMBERS: Chairman of the Legislature Keith Batman, Legislator’s Joseph Bennett, Terry Baxter, Aileen McNabb-Coleman, Michael Didio, Ben Vitale, Mark Farrell, Andy Dennison, Ryan Foley, Timothy Lattimore, Frank Reginelli, Paul Pinckney, and Joseph DeForest EXCUSED: Tucker Whitman OTHERS: County Attorney Fred Westphal, County Administrator Suzanne Sinclair, Budget Director Lynn Marinelli, Director of Human Resources Michael Russell, Director of Community Services Raymond Bizzari, Senior Technician Andrew Hawkins, High- way Superintendent George Wethey, Buildings & Grounds/Parks & Trails Superinten- dent Gary Duckett, County Treasurer Jim Orman, Real Property Director Kelly Ander- son, Administrative Assistant Suzanne Gauthier, Jennifer Marshall (Civil Service), Citi- zen Reporter Gwen Craig, and Deputy Clerk of the Legislature Marissa Petrosino. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: Discussion: Batman says our goals are to go through information to gain a better understand- ing of our financial situation and identify alternative approaches. He says our goal is not to make any specific decisions, just establish a path forward and iden- tify things we should be looking at. The idea is not to take specific positions, just to discuss. He says it is important for other people to understand what we are looking at. These things are sensitive and require honesty to move forward. He says Marinelli will give an overview of what she has already done and then there will be exchange and investigations of what the numbers mean. We can change numbers on the Excel sheet to see “what-if” scenarios. Then, Sinclair will iden- tify cost cutting options. In addition, there will be time for other’s to present their own ideas. The goal is to have a list at the end to go back through, discuss, and decide if we should move forward with them. He says the idea is to make decisions on what we should investigate or look at more carefully. The final step would be to identify the people who would take the lead in investigating those options. Lastly, we will look at revenue options. ---PAGE BREAK--- 245 Wednesday, August 10, 2016 LYNN MARINELLI BUDGET PRESENTATION: Marinelli says she took 2019 off of the presentation so it is easier to see the next couple of years. The sales tax is adjusted for what we project to get, which is lower than the budget. There are general fees across all departments, State Aid, and Federal Aid. For expenses, there are salaries for all departments and benefits that go with these. She says she doesn’t know the Health Insurance figure yet, but will know in the next month. Equipment expenditures are low because Highway is not included. The other big contractual expenditures are the College, Jail Opera- tions, Health Department Operations, Medicaid contribution, and other Social Services program expenditures. Our debt is showed, as well as contribution for the Highway. Total expenses are subtracted from the revenues to get the fund balance. She shows what we had in the budget last year with a fund balance of $1.7 million. She says it will be at least a million because she used conservative esti- mates. She shows how we can make quick adjustments to the spreadsheet to see how the projections would look. She says the projections on the sales tax and the property tax drive a lot on the fund balance number. She only put the increase on projected collection, which means the budgeted number for 2017 would be lower than 2016’s budget. Farrell asks where we would have to be to have a fund balance draw of $500,000- $700,000. Marinelli says about $862,000 with the 4% which does not include any new fees. Marinelli says there will be no new debt in 2017. She says this translates into 2018 because when you raise the tax levy, it stays in the base of your revenue. Vitale says on the sales tax, we are showing an increase of 1.5 of what we budgeted. It would be interesting to see what 0% increase would show. Marinelli says the budget was 22.2 and she put the increase on the projected, not on the budget. Batman asks if we know what the State is suggesting we do. Sinclair says no. Foley says we are projected to be down on sales tax but we are making it up somewhere else because we are using less of our fund balance than we anticipated. Marinelli says yes; the Jail had significant savings and Foster Care is under budget. She says those are the two big savings, along with Spingler’s savings on the 911 project. Marinelli says we probably would have only used $600,000 of the fund balance if the sales tax was on, but it was short from its budget in 2015. Batman says Depart- ment Heads should get some credit because when they realized they were saving, they did not find some other way to spend that money. He says we should thank Department Heads for paying attention to this detail and it saved us from being in a worse condition than we currently are. Dennison asks if those numbers are in here now. Marinelli says yes, we will still out perform as we were supposed to use 1.7 and will use 1.5. She says these are conservative estimates and we don’t know exactly how the numbers will end up because it is early in the year. She says the Jail revenue is holding strong, which is good, and they may out perform. ---PAGE BREAK--- 246 Lattimore says a lot of sales tax is generated by fuel costs. He says there should be a savings because the Highway Department and all other department vehicles should be showing less money spent on gas. Vitale says they adjusted the budget for the Highway Department so that savings doesn’t exist there. Dennison asks Sinclair about the projections sent out. He says the snow removal for 2016 was projected higher than 2015. He is wondering if the numbers that are projected from departments are put into the spreadsheet. Wethey says he would have to look at those numbers but he doesn’t think that is right. Dennison says we need to make sure our numbers are right if they are being inserted to the spread- sheet. Dennison says the number was projected because we are not through the year yet, but it showed to be higher than 2015. He got this number from the OpenGov report. Dennison says it could be a typo but wants to make sure the numbers are not being skewed. Sinclair says she will look at this and will make sure the numbers on OpenGov are right. Batman asks Marinelli to go to the Highway portion on the spreadsheet. Marinelli says the Highway is not included, only the expenditure of transfer to the Highway fund. She says they have their own fund balances that are separate. She said the Highway funds went up She says we give our numbers to the Highway and they work off each other. She didn’t pull actual numbers for 2016, just the big savings that departments identi- fied and the budget we passed for 2016. The rest is based on conservative educated guesses. She says we always perform a little better than the budget because of the small savings that add up. She says our goal is to come in under expenses and have the revenues do a little better. Batman says Dennison’s point is that it doesn’t affect these numbers. He says if we save money on fuel, snow plowing, etc. it would be put back in the roads. He wants to point out that the only way we have an impact on the bottom line budget in this fund is if we say we will spend less money on Highway next year. Marinelli says it does feed to the equipment purchases and there are other ways to purchase equipment than buying with cash. She says this list always gets cut because equipment is so expensive. Dennison asks how deep into 2017 until we get true numbers in terms of what each department uses. Batman asks Orman when books are closed. Orman says early March. Foley says if we talk about a 1% property tax increase in 2017, we would be looking at a $1.3 million draw from the fund balance. Marinelli says the paper he is referring to included the new fees that we didn’t end up passing. She says not to refer to the paper because it had the DMV fee of $400,000. She also changed the Medicaid number after she did the budget, which is up $250,000. Batman says we have to have confidence in these numbers. He says this is the time to ask questions on the numbers if anyone has any so that we can move forward. Dennison says if by March 1st we would have actual numbers, how close have we been in the past few years to these projected numbers. Marinelli says this is the first time she has done a three-year projection like this. Batman says based on Wednesday, August 10, 2016 ---PAGE BREAK--- 247 Marinelli’s experience, the 1.5 might be high, but it might be 1.1 or 1.2. He says this is the nature of projections. Marinelli says every number will be filled in when they do the budget in a couple of months. She says the projections will be done on 2016’s actuals, which will help to show how close we are. Batman says to look at where we can save money and reduce expenditures, which Sinclair will go through. SUZANNE SINCLAIR PRESENTATION: Sinclair says the top category is employee expenses because personnel make up a large part of our budget. She says it is challenging for Department Heads when they are not allowed to re-hire and fill positions, which we will look at. The second category on Non-Mandated services that can be eliminated or reduced came from a list from NYSAC. She says these include things like Law Enforcement and Road Patrol, Senior Nutrition Program, DMV, Mental Health Clinic, and other depart- ments and positions that are not mandated or required for us to house. She says we can defund or reduce funding to agencies including Cornell Cooperative Ex- tension and Soil & Water. She says we can outsource things, with an advantage of paying employees who are not County employees. We can also outsource depart- ment functions or insource certain things. She says telecommuting was brought up as a way to save on owning extra office space. She says we could eliminate re- hiring and institute a hiring freeze, which another County did. We could reconfigure work in departments or re-think how we do our work. She says we can’t create a Local Retirement Incentive that is done through the State, because they would have to initiate that. She says in other counties, the Legislature or Board Supervisors decided to give a de-signing bonus or financial incentive to people who were eligible for retirement, which is something we could look at. Batman says the next step is for Sinclair to explain each category in more detail and have the Legislature discuss what they want to do with the idea. He asks if they have additional ideas before we get to that point. Pinckney asks if eliminating re-hiring spurs into eliminating positions. Batman says not re-filling positions. Dennison asks if that is looking at consolidating. Batman says yes. Didio says he would like to have some type of hiring freeze. Batman says we will talk about that when we talk about delaying hiring. Vitale says we can reduce the amount of plowing we do on roads. DeForest says as we get certain County roads repaired, could we save money by relinquishing certain roads or turning them over to the Towns. Wednesday, August 10, 2016 ---PAGE BREAK--- 248 Lattimore says our sales tax is down and the most important hire was our Eco- nomic Development person. He says with good economic development, you pro- duce more income. He says we could consider bringing Economic Development back in house, or insourcing. Dennison says we could look at the Towns closer to see if there is other ways we could work with them. Batman says consolidating work in facilities more inten- tionally and aggressively. Baxter brings up consolidating fuel purchases. Lattimore brings up fuel costs, energy, gas, and electric. He would like to look at inter-county agreements for purchasing. Foley says we need to ask Department Heads to do more with less. He says we sometimes skip over things where the department is not under the County’s control. He says we should ask departments if they can do the same job/provide the same services with less money. Batman says we have contracts with some of these people but we have the right to break contracts. He says all of our con- tracts are written in a way that we can get out of them if we wish. Bennett asks if the Jail is included in the Non-mandated services with Law En- forcement and Road Patrol. Batman says no, the Jail is mandatory but Road Patrol is not mandatory. Vitale says we can put the Federal Inmate Program on the list. He says we have questioned in the past what we could save by closing down a section of the Jail. Batman says we have to have a Jail but he does not think there is any requirement on the size. Sinclair says she is not sure on that. Batman says we might be able to reduce the size to one pod and meet the requirement. He says we can look at reducing the size of the Jail. Lattimore asks what our pension bill will be this year from the State. He says we should look at health insurance and part of the big buy in our health insurance is the drug buy. He says we should move quicker on this before the Towns move to another avenue to get cheaper insurance. Foley asks if we still do the pool program for the YMCA. Sinclair and Batman say it is being phased out. Batman says we should go through each item and establish what we could do with each one. Batman brings up delaying re-hiring and asks if we should pursue it. Pinckney asks if we have a dollar amount that we have saved this year on delaying re-hiring. Marinelli says no but we could get that number. Batman asks if anyone is opposed to pursuing delaying re-hiring; no one is opposed. Batman asks if there are spe- cific things people want to see in this review. Pinckney says he would like to see what we have saved so far. DeForest wants to know how long we are talking about Wednesday, August 10, 2016 ---PAGE BREAK--- 249 delaying re-hiring. Dennison asks if this is looking at new hiring too. Batman says yes. Vitale says during the delay, we would have to look at the position and see if there are changes we could make. He says this is the perfect time to do this so that we don’t have to lay someone off later. Batman brings up eliminating re-hiring. Sinclair says we might consider expert advice in terms of work processes, even though it would be an initial expense. She says we could reconfigure work rather than offloading the work onto the remain- ing people in the department. Batman asks what this means. Sinclair says elimi- nating new positions. Batman says if a job is open then it’s gone; he asks if we want to pursue that approach. Pinckney says Department Heads are already start- ing that process and consolidating employees. Pinckney says if we are going to eliminate, are we going to come to this conclusion from the Department Heads? Batman says once we have our list, we will determine people to look at these things more closely. Batman asks if anyone is opposed to looking at eliminating positions; no one is opposed. Batman says one thing we need to look at is reconfiguring how things are done. Lattimore says we have reduced the popula- tion of our employment. He would like to know the impact of reducing these numbers and the effect it had on the budget. Batman asks if he wants to look at employment numbers in the past and present. Lattimore says yes. Mahunik asks if when a position opens up, we are saying it would be automati- cally eliminated. Batman says no, right now when a position opens up, the as- sumption is that it will be filled. Batman says this is separate from the delay. This would explore a change in how we approach positions. He says we are pleased when a Department Head consolidates and saves money. If a Department Head says we have to have a position, if it is open, it gets re-filled. He says this would be a change in approach. He says we might need to ask more questions before a position is filled with this topic. Baxter says we should determine whether we are interested in proceeding with each item on the list and look at them further next time. Batman says it is impor- tant for people to ask questions about what they want to know. Sinclair brings up rethinking work being done. She says this is where consolida- tion and refiguring departments came up. She says we can take advantage of one department’s slow season to work with a different department’s busy season. Batman asks if this is something we want to pursue; Legislature says yes. Batman brings up the local retirement incentive and asks if this is something we want to look at. Baxter says he would like to look at it. Batman asks him what his parameters are. Batman says he is concerned if it would save money in the short run and the long run. Baxter agrees and says we would be doing it to save money, both short term and long term. Dennison asks if we could get a comparison from another county to see if they had savings with this example. Wednesday, August 10, 2016 ---PAGE BREAK--- 250 Batman brings up reducing employee benefits, including health insurance, and asks if this is something we want to consider. Lattimore says the path we are on in terms of our drug buy is going to save us money. He says we should stay with what we have and buy in a different way so we don’t have to take benefits away from employees. Sinclair says there is a significant difference between reducing em- ployee benefits and reducing employee benefit expenses. Batman says we should look at how we do our benefits. He asks if we are willing to open up negotiations with the Union to reduce benefits. Foley says he would be against that. He says when you work in the private sector, wages are higher and benefits are not as great. He says a benefit of working in the public sector is receiving better benefits, even though the pay is less. He says there is no benefit to working in the public sector if we start reducing the benefits without increasing wages. Batman asks if we are interested in opening up discussions with the Union to reduce benefits; most of the Legislature says no. Farrell says we might want to leave this open because if we are looking at reducing the workforce, the Union might be inter- ested in talking about reducing benefits to try to keep employees on. He says there was talk about long term health insurance for retirees, and covering them up until the age they are eligible for Medicare. Marinelli says we might want to have a conversation with a consultant and talk to the Unions about the possibility. She says it would be good to know the impact on ourselves before we know if we want to make it an option. She says we could pursue it and then negotiate it later. Baxter and Dennison agree with Farrell. Dennison says he disagrees with Foley about the private vs. public sector and says a lot of people do not retire with their benefits; they pay for their own benefits after they retire. Lattimore says if we were more aggressive with our drug buy 4-8 years ago, we would have a surplus in our account, reducing everyone’s cost. He says there is a model that CanaRx has that we can reprogram to save money with the future drug buys. He says we do not need to upset the population now with regards to health insurance. Vitale says we should look at both the savings and expense and leave everything open for discus- sion. DeForest says the cost savings with this particular aspect will not have any impact in the coming year. He says we should leave the possibility open since it will not affect us in coming year. Batman says some people want to leave the discussion of this topic open, and some people are against it. He asks what direc- tion people want to go in. He says generally people want to keep it open to possibly look at, the Legislature agrees, but not for this year. Batman brings up Non-mandated services. Sinclair says this list should be inves- tigated to be sure they are Non-mandated. Foley says he sent everyone a sheet on Non-mandated services. He wants to look at each department in terms of the budget and how much of it included Non-mandated services. He says we can com- pare 2011 and 2016 in terms of whether there was an increase or decrease in the number of positions and the number of services. He says we can also specify reasons that services changed over time or if there was an increase in employees due to mandated services. He says no position is mandated; only services of the County are mandated. He says we can eliminate positions but that work would have to be picked up by other positions if the service was mandated. He wants to use this sheet and get it filled in while we are looking at Non-mandated services. Wednesday, August 10, 2016 ---PAGE BREAK--- 251 Batman asks if people had an opportunity to look at Foley’s sheet. Batman is suggesting we start by looking at where employment and expenditures have gone in the last 5 or 6 years in these areas and asks if anyone objects; no one objects. Batman asks if there is anything on the list that people do not want to touch. Dennison says if we cut things like the Senior Nutrition Program and Mental Health too much or do away with them completely, does that throw people on to another service? Batman says that is a good point and we need to look at impact on other things. Marinelli says they might be mandated services, but the level of services might not be mandated. She says an example in the County Clerk’s Office is that the number of people who work there is not mandated. She says we do not want to narrow our focus too much and over emphasize anything; we should look at things in each department as they come up. Sinclair says some aspects where we are mandated to provide services can be outsourced. Batman says we should not look at things that are 100% funded because we don’t need to waste our time on that, but we should look at the pattern of everything else. He also says we should not look at Mental Health because at this point they are operating at a surplus. He says if something is operating in excess of what it costs, we should leave it alone. Batman asks if we want to look at defunding agencies; Legislature says no. Batman says there are two different approaches for agencies we have contracts with and agencies we do not have contracts with. He asks if we want to look at Soil & Water and Cooperative Extension in terms of asking for deeper cuts, around Farrell says we should look at what the impact and ramifications would be if there were deeper cuts. Batman stresses that we are not making decisions about cutting anything or proposing any cuts; we are just looking at the possible impact. Batman asks if we want to approach asking the impact of deeper cuts; the Legislature says yes. Dennison asks if we can ask them if there is any outsource money they can come up with. Lattimore asks if the College should be on this list. Batman says we have already allocated money for them. Batman says there are serious conse- quences if we reduce the base contribution to a Community College from one year to the next, but there is no obligation. He says we have already made a commit- ment to them for next year. Lattimore says everything should be on the list. Batman asks if people are interested in looking at our contribution to the College for 2018-2019; the Legislature says yes. Sinclair brings up tourism and she raised the issue a couple of years ago about being able to use that for economic development and she was told that was not possible. Batman says we can take a larger percentage for administration. He says we have a contract with them and asks if we want to explore keeping more of that money. Baxter says yes. Reginelli and Foley think we should leave tourism alone. Batman asks for a show of hands of who wants to explore increasing the percent- age we keep from tourism for administration. He says there are about ten hands up. He says we should ask the impact of keeping an additional the Legislature agrees. Batman says the conversation would be similar with CEDA. He says we have a contract with them and 2 years are left, so we would not be breaking an Wednesday, August 10, 2016 ---PAGE BREAK--- 252 agreement, we would be breaking a contract, which we cannot legally do. He asks if we want to wait until the contract is over to go over options. Farrell says CEDA’s goal was to try to create new sources of revenue. He says the next time the contract comes around, they would be given the chance to create new revenue sources and we might be able to reduce our allocations. He says we might want to notify them that conversation might be had. Batman asks if this is the approach we want to use; the Legislature says yes. Batman brings up outsourcing. She says we could change the way the work is done or eliminate positions. She says the advantage of outsourcing is that it could be less expensive than having actual employees, but this depends. Batman asks if we want to look at this, meaning it would be off of our books. He asks if we want to look at it in every area. Sinclair says there are some grant programs in the County that have a local share and we can look at whether we want to continue to maintain them. She says some departments use grants to offset employees they must have, but we could assess and consider the others. Batman says we are not talking about eliminating stuff, just looking program to program, and he asks if anyone is opposed to this. Marinelli says this sounds great, but it is a huge amount of work to do, which might involve eliminating positions. She says these should be looked at as they come up. She says we could outsource just about everything we do here and she cannot see this happening. She says they have done this in her depart- ment but they do it when the opportunity presents itself. She says we cannot analyze the entire budget and do something like this. Batman says whoever works on this needs to look at the area and come up with ideas and a general plan. Baxter says when the opportunity presents itself, everything would fit together better rather than just chopping things up. Batman says this is the idea of this. Batman brings up insourcing legal negations and he says we will not be doing economic development for the next few years. Batman says he sent an email notifying that our contract for labor relations is up, and we have the opportunity to renegotiate that or take it in house. He says many people think this is the time we need to look at and there is a general agreement that we need to look at the idea. Batman brings up telecommunication. He says if we set something up where people can work from home, we would save space and buildings, which in turn saves money. He says there is no advantage at this point, but the concept is some- thing we can explore. He asks if people are willing to look at the possibility of getting rid of buildings and having people work from home part of the day. He says we would have to provide supervision and maintenance of work, and asks if anyone is opposed to the concept. DeForest says he is not opposed to the concept but a lot depends on the Governor’s program to get NYS connected. Batman says that is something that would go along with this concept. Batman brings up consolidation with Towns and Villages for highway work and purchasing. He says purchasing is something we should do, and he asks about highway work. Dennison says this is a question for Wethey and asks if it is easy to get the Towns to go along with things. Batman says this is an example of a ques- Wednesday, August 10, 2016 ---PAGE BREAK--- 253 tion that we need to explore. He says if we agree this is a good idea, we need to explore options on how to make it happen. Batman says some people think we need to take care of our own roads and the question is whether or not this is the general feeling. Vitale says we could bring people into a meeting and get every- thing on the table to see where people fall. Batman says we now need to identify people who are going to be responsible for following up on these things. He brings up hiring, re-hiring, and re-thinking how work is done and asks if anyone is interested in working on this area. McNabb- Coleman, Baxter, and Reginelli volunteer. He brings up the health consortium area and says Lattimore was interested in this, and it would include drugs and talking with the consortium. He says Foley will do the Non-mandated services and comparison of 2011 and 2015, using the sheet he created. Batman brings up Soil & Water and says he will do that, along with anyone else on the Board. He says they need to go to Doug and discuss the impact of cutting 5-20%. He says this would be DeForest, Baxter, and Batman. Batman brings up the hotel tax and says this would be a “what if” scenario and impact as well; Farrell volunteers. Batman brings up the area of outsourcing and says Marinelli should do this, and he will help. Batman brings up consolidation on highway; Dennison, Pinckney, and Vitale volunteer. Batman brings up inner-county purchasing and asks if Sinclair should use her Listserv for this. Sinclair says she will do this and talk to her cohorts, and hopes it will help the purchasing process. Batman says we need to look at our sensitivity to revenue options. He says we can exceed the property tax, draw on the fund balance, look at the license tax, or come up with other ideas. Farrell says we have the option of increasing the mortgage fee .25, which would need State approval. Reginelli asks about the hotel tax; Batman says that doesn’t do us any good because we don’t keep that and it goes to tourism. DeForest brings up an entertainment tax. Sinclair says in the past, they have discussed having departments charge more fully for services they are providing to other entities. She says they talked specifically about Planning, and this option would help support the specific department. Batman says departments that charge could review their rate schedules. Batman asks if anyone objects to pursing the mortgage fee, the entertainment tax, and the impact of increasing the rates de- partments charge for services. Pinckney objects. McNabb-Coleman says she wants to look at reorganizing better before considering more fees. Batman says we are not voting on doing something, we are just saying that we are going to look at these things. He says we need to look and see if these options are legal and the steps we need to take if we were going to do it. McNabb-Coleman says she is not opposed to revenue. Batman asks if other people want to look at the options. Farrell says if we are looking at a $2 million shortfall, then we would have to significantly cut our expenses or raise our taxes to the extreme. He says we don’t have many other options to remedy this. DeForest asks what a $1.3 million short- fall would constitute across the board to cut; Farrell says about Marinelli says we can’t look at it that way with mandated costs in certain departments that cannot cut these costs. Batman says if you take out the mandated items, in order to get a percentage of our budget cut, we would have to cut 3% of those things we Wednesday, August 10, 2016 ---PAGE BREAK--- 254 can cut. He says in order to cut 3% of our budget, we would have to cut 9% of our expenditures because we lose revenue and some things cannot be cut. Sinclair says it is frustrating because the services and work of our employees is and valuable, but it is the department’s that are not reimbursed that end up being reduced. Vitale says we should look at all of the ways to increase revenue, and just because we look at it does not mean we are going to do it. Batman asks who wants to look at revenue options; about 8 hands were raised. He asks if we come in with a budget that exceeds the tax cap, who will vote for it. He says the issue is we have to provide guidance for revenue for the people doing the budget with realistic parameters. Foley says going over the tax cap would be bad, and he would want to see what an overall budget looked like from last year if we went over the tax cap and the cuts we made up until that point. He says asking in August if we want to go over the tax cap is a hard question to answer. Batman asks how many people feel that if any budget exceeds the tax cap they will not support; he says most people are somewhere in-between. Baxter says the numbers show a 1% increase in taxes and we are making an assumption that we will go over it. He says we had no option last year than to take more money from the fund balance, which is an option we always need to take. Batman asks if people have a feeling on the fund balance draw. He says we have money we can draw on the fund balance, which will be gone and will not be available for roads or buildings. Dennison says whatever the fund balance is, we draw from it, and take action. He says maybe if we take that big hit with the fund balance, we will start to figure things out for ourselves. Vitale is concerned about spending our savings. He says money needs to be put in a reserve account for capital improvements because once it is gone we will have nothing. Pinckney says he is not in favor of using all of that money. Batman says the license tax is on the table at this point, so we will need to vote it up or down in the future based on the budget situation. He says we will discuss it more after we have more information on the budget. Motion by Pinckney to adjourn at 7:41 P.M., 2nd by Didio, all in favor.

He voices his concerns about Emerson Park being left with bird wastes. He says he contracted a rash on his legs due to standing in water at the Great Race, and other Great Race Committee members contracted the rash as well. DelloStritto talked to a Health Care Physician and was told it was “duck itch” but the results are not in yet. He says this is from a parasite that becomes more active in water. He says the birds are a health hazard and he suggests we encourage Cayuga County residents to bring their dogs to the park to chase the birds out. He says he is meeting with the Park’s Commission tomorrow and says we need to address this issue now. Discussion: Lattimore says he would like to see outdoor showers installed at Emerson Park so people can rinse off when they get out of Owasco Lake. He hopes this is a part of the Master Plan for Emerson Park. MINUTES: For Approval: 7-26-16 & Budget Work Session 8-10-16 – Attached, Motion by Foley, 2nd by Bennett, all in favor.

He says efforts have been focused on renovating and approving facilities. He says the Faculty Student Association (FSA) has invested in renovating the Nature Center to turn it into a new Child Care Center. He says this allows them to expand their service for students, staff, and the community to serve infants who are 6 weeks old up through kindergarten. He says they are on target for the budget enrollment wise, and there will be a more thorough update next month. He says the Collective Bargaining Agreement is being considered tonight, and he asks for support with this. Lattimore says Cornell Cooperative Extension has 7 acres that they are selling. He asks if Durant has looked to see if this connects to the College. Durant says he has not looked specifically at that land, but they have tried to gather a map to see what is near the property. He says he is willing to take a look at the opportunity. COMMITTEE REPORTS & INDIVIDUAL LEGISLATORS’ REPORTS: Legislator Ryan Foley: Foley says he met earlier with constituents concerning a Centro stop on Wright Ave. Foley says people would like an additional stop to help them get to the Rescue Mission and additional buildings. He says a meeting was organized with repre- sentatives and a Centro Executive to see if we can get another stop there. Foley is hopeful that an additional stop will be added. Legislator Timothy Lattimore: Lattimore thanks the Governor for getting involved in saving the Nuclear Plants. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT: Suzanne Sinclair – Attached Discussion: Sinclair continues to meet with Department Heads about annual reviews and budget issues.

He says he is in the process of putting things together regarding who signed up for tasks related to the Special Budget Meeting we had this month. He says the Department of Social Service’s Open House was beneficial and it reaffirmed how hard our people work. He says the Legislators learned a lot of valuable information from it. Tuesday, August 23, 2016 ---PAGE BREAK--- 257 Lattimore says he would like to see the Master Plan in regards to the water quality of Owasco Lake, along with the cost and delivery of water. Batman says we have allocated a $100,000 match to support a County-wide Planning Grant with Water & Sewer Authority, and a decision is expected around the end of September.

MINUTES: For Approval: August 23, 2016 & Committee of the Whole September 14, 2016 – Attached, Motion by Dennison, 2nd by Bennett, all in favor. CCC REPORT: Dr. Brian Durant – Attached Discussion on Report: Durant says they are in the start of the new fiscal year and fall semester, and they are on pace with predicted enrollment. They are continuing to examine space in Auburn to assure they are utilizing their space in the best way possible. They will be looking to finalize short and long term plans in regards to repurposing and renovating space, as well as considering capital projects. COMMITTEE REPORTS & INDIVIDUAL LEGISLATORS’ REPORTS: COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT: Suzanne Sinclair – PowerPoint Presenta- tion at Meeting (Attached) Discussion on Presentation: Sinclair says this is a Draft Budget, not to be confused with the Tentative Budget. Goals for 3 years include supporting State-Mandated Services, such as Social Services, the Jail, and Assigned Counsel. She says the revenues brought in should support the expenditures made. She says the fund balance is not a recurring revenue and when you rely on fund balance to fund operating expenditures, this hampers the ability to address capital needs, the ability to maintain cash flow, and the ability to respond to emergencies. She reports on the 2016 Operating Budget by Revenue Type. The sales tax number is the gross sales tax number and we only get half of that number because the other half is distributed to Towns and Vil- lages. She says the largest revenue is Property Tax, followed by Sales Tax, State Aid, and Federal Aid. When discussing the Tax Cap, Sinclair says inflation influ- ences this and this has lowered the cost of living and consumer price index. Sinclair discusses the 2016 Operating Budget and says Personal Services and Fringe Ben- efits come to almost 47 million dollars, which represents about 32.5% of the Expenditure Budget. She says Contractuals are high at about $88 million, which includes the debt payment. Health Insurance shows a 7% increase for the next three years. She says the A Fund contribution to the Highway Department was decreased by $1 million, and a large portion of this represented purchase of High- way trucks. She says she would like to consider using their Fund Balance for Tuesday, September 27, 2016 ---PAGE BREAK--- 281 purchase of Highway trucks, and this money could be replaced over time by adjust- ing the rental rates. Dennison says it looked like our State and Federal aid over the past 3-4 years was decreasing; he asks if this will continue. Sinclair says it is hard to predict because the State varies in the time that they send us money. She says sometimes at a certain point in the year it looks lower, but that is based on the cash we have received at that point. She says it is more reliable to look at the percentages they will eventually give us in aid. Lattimore asks about the Health Consortium with the City. Marinelli says we have offered the City membership in the Consortium, but they have not voted on it yet. CHAIR REPORT: Keith Batman Discussion on Report: Batman says he attended the NYSAC Conference with Foley and Baxter and it was productive; he will bring back information to explore in the future. He testi- fied at the Water Quality Hearing in Albany. He says the test results from toxins from Blue Green Algae came back with no detectible scores for the Auburn water supply, and the lowest detectible limit for the Owasco supply; samples will con- tinue to be taken. He says there will be a farewell to Senator Nozzolio Saturday at 11:00. He says Aileen McNabb-Coleman has accepted her appointment as Ways & Means Chair. Motion by Baxter to suspend the rules in the agenda to allow Mr. Charlie Greene to speak (under Public be Heard), 2nd by Didio, all in favor. APPOINTMENTS AND REAPPOINTMENTS: • Legislative Appointment for District 4 Discussion: Batman says this is a critical period and it is important to move forward before we get too far into the budget cycle.

By: Benjamin Vitale Chairperson, Public Works Mark Farrell Chairperson, Ways & Means Committee WHEREAS: annual budgetary planning calls for departmental budget cuts and ways to increase revenue to offset operational costs; and WHEREAS: rental and usage fees at Emerson Park have were last changed for the 2013 season; and WHEREAS, Resolution No. 36-14 committed revenue received in excess of $66,740 for parking and boat launch fees be deposited in a Capital Reserve for Emerson Park, and Tuesday, September 27, 2016 ---PAGE BREAK--- 298 WHEREAS, the Park Commission, recognizing the budget shortfall facing the county and the need to offset operations and make improvements at the park, decided to recon- sider the fees and determined that a change was warranted; and WHEREAS, the Park Commission recommends that the legislature approve the fees on the attached spreadsheet titled “Proposed Fee Changes, Impact Based on 2013 Data Revised 9/22/16”; and WHEREAS, the Park Commission recommends the revenue from parking and boat launch fees in excess of $66,740 continue to be placed in the Capital Reserve for the park; now therefore be it RESOLVED, that the Cayuga County Legislature does hereby approve the new fee structure for Emerson Park effective January 1, 2017; and be it further RESOLVED, that the Cayuga County Treasurer is hereby authorized and directed to deposit any revenue over $66,740 be committee into the Capital Reserve Account titled Emerson Park Improvements. Discussion on Resolution 331-16 (PW-2): Batman asks Vitale to clarify the revision made at Committee. Vitale says the revision is that the proposed fees will stand except for the daily parking fee will remain the same and will not increase. Lattimore says we need a major attraction at the Park and he does not want the increased fees to deter people from going to the Park. Foley asks Duckett about shelter fees and asks if he has compared these fees to other State Park’s fees. Batman recognizes Duckett to answer Foley’s question. Duckett says the Parks Commission made recommendations based on supply and demand; the shelters were in high demand and he felt they could generate more revenue by increasing the fees. Foley asks if there is a proposed shelter in the Master Plan. Duckett says yes, he would like to build more shelters in the Park. Didio asks about the fee for daily parking. Batman says that fee is not increasing; Vitale says it will remain at $2.00 for daily parking, as it was in 2016, and this is the only fee we are not raising. Motion by Didio to amend the resolution to go back to the original increased fee for daily parking to $3.00, 2nd by Reginelli. Discussion on amendment: McNabb-Coleman says an increase in daily parking fees will deter people from going to the park. She thinks we should protect the fees to where they are cur- rently until we have something new to offer at the Park. Didio says the increased fee will take care of upkeep that is needed at the Park; he thinks this increased fee will help promote a more inclusive upgrade of the Park. Batman asks for clarifica- tion on what the parking fees can be used for; he asks if the fees have to be used for maintenance on repairing the parking lots and not for improvement on the park itself. Duckett says the money goes into a Capital Reserve and that money from the parking fees can be used for anything. Lattimore thinks the Park is underutilized and we need more activities there during the week, not just on the weekends to generate more revenue and traffic. Reginelli says the $3.00 fee would be effective because it would be paid for by people going to the Park. Tuesday, September 27, 2016 ---PAGE BREAK--- 299 Vote on amendment to increase the daily parking from $2.00 to $3.00 defeated by show of hands. Vote on original resolution passed by Majority Vote.

MINUTES: For Approval: September 27, 2016 – Attached, motion by Pinckney, 2nd by Bennett, all in favor. COMMITTEE REPORTS & INDIVIDUAL LEGISLATORS’ REPORTS: Foley says a few weeks ago he was tasked with looking at a comparison between 2011 and 2016 to see if employees had been added over that time. He says if they had been added the intent was to find what mandated and non-mandated positions we can afford. He reports that about 90% of departments have either reduced their employee percentage or have remained the same. He says there is only about 10% of the county departments that have increased their employee amount. He says he was able to sit down with one of those departments that have gone up which was Mental Health. He says he sat down with Bizzari who was wonderful through the process. He describes what he has as let’s say four extra positions with his details Tuesday, October 25, 2016 ---PAGE BREAK--- 307 being that they are revenue generators for the county. He says if the positions he has added over those 5 years each cost $50,000 dollars and let’s say generate $100,000 dollars they pay for themselves. He says there is not really a cut to be made there based on what he has seen. He says there are several instances where that has happened. He says that we do have positions that have been added how- ever over that time period such as in the Veteran’s Office. He says right, wrong, or indifferent he is just reporting back and not proposing anything. He says if we are going to make cuts at this county for the upcoming budget cycle maybe we should start with positions that were not there 5 years ago and get back to those levels. He says it is certainly up to the legislature and something that we can look at further in our upcoming budget discussions. He says the DA’s office did not add any employees over that time period, however one thing that has happened is they have not filled an ADA position, since June 15, 2016. He says if the office is able to have all of their business before them taken care of and he has not heard other- wise maybe they can do without the position next year. He says that he is not proposing this, but simply offering it as an alternative to possibly raising taxes if this legislature decides. He says that there are other non-mandated departments that we do fund that we can maybe look at cutting instead of raising taxes and going into our fund balance. He says one of those we can look at is Sterling Nature Center, which currently has two positions that are not mandated. He thinks it is something that benefits people, but it is up to the legislature whether to decide we continue funding it. He says another position that is not mandated is at the Ag Museum and is up to the legislature to keep funding. He says at the present we have tough decisions to make and Vitale made a good point that if we do not consider increasing taxes as we have in the past, then where the money is coming from in the upcoming budget. He says they are just ideas that he is throwing out there and can be discussed in upcoming budget meetings. Lattimore reports that McNabb-Coleman and he were at the Town of Owasco yesterday in regards to some of the lake issues that Mr.DelloStritto brought up. He says it was nice to see our Senators and there trying to help with some of the issues we are having with the lake. He agrees with DelloStritto that we need a green bank around the streams and set back from the lake. He says that he wants to make sure that if it is agricultural related that we reimburse the farmer or the landowner for whatever green buffer that we need in order to protect the lake. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT: Suzanne Sinclair CHAIR REPORT: Keith Batman Batman says he did represent the county legislature at the October 1st program at Veteran’s Park recognizing the retirement of Senator Nozzolio. He says related to the lake, they met this Friday with representatives from the DEC, Department of Health, and Ag and Markets about the path forward. He says at that meeting two things were suggested, that we need immediate action to confront the issue of toxins in the water, and they asked the DEC specifically to fund $100,000 for an engineering study so that we knew exactly what we needed to do to get the toxins out of the water before they reappear next year. He says the other approach that Tuesday, October 25, 2016 ---PAGE BREAK--- 308 they asked for relates to looking toward a longer term solution. He says they asked the DEC, Department of Health, and Ag and Markets to appoint specific people to work with us in specific areas. Batman comments on something DelloStritto said and responds that it is not true that everyone in this room drinks water or pollutes Owasco Lake. He says many of us in this room are able to pollute other lakes unfortunately. He says Cayuga County has 5 watersheds, 170 miles of lakefront, and much of the county is in the Cayuga Lake watershed. He says that in that watershed we are fighting the first appearance of hydrilla, which is very invasive and dangerous weed species. He says other parts of the county are fight- ing with other invasive weed species. He says he likes to point out this not simply a problem with Owasco Lake, however, we cannot lose focus and make certain we give all of our water the appropriate attention. Whitman says he is glad that we are going to get some money upfront to fund a solution to the problem. He saw that there is $600,000 to be put towards the effort. He says what frustrates him is that this body has been contacting the DEC, state officials, and other agencies for at least 4 years now. He says residents have been coming here with manure flowing through their yard and into the lake. He says he is not a scientist but he is going to guess there is too much nutrient in the lake. He says he is afraid we are going to spend $600,000 dollars on figuring that out and not be active on fixing the problem. He says it is really sad to him that it took polluted drinking water to get their attention, because we have been approaching them for years now. Batman says that he agrees, but he would clarify that it is an unfortunate reality that when the water is polluted everyone steps forward to take credit for a variety of things. He says the $600,000 dollars is a good example and was allocated a full year and a half ago, but it was just held. He says why it is being released now he is certain has nothing to do with there being a lot of PR about toxins in the water and is just the bureaucratic process. He says about two thirds of that money fortunately is for projects to reduce nutrient flow into the lake. CCC REPORT: Dr. Brian Durant - Attached Motion by Dennison, 2nd by Foley, all in favor.

Turing immediately raised the price to $750 a tablet from $13.50 •Between 2004 and 2015, the average price of MS disease-modifying therapies (DMT) increased 300%.

Discussion: Foley says that he would like to see it go to a public hearing. He says he would like to hear from the general Public are two concerns. He says is this a fee increase on poor or struggling families within our community. He says what this tax does is if someone separates their tax bills into two different installments on the 2nd install- ment there is a service fee charge of 1% and this resolution would make it He says right now we are just talking about sending it to a public forum. He says after talking with Indelicato as he understands it this is not a service charge that is extended or increased on the City of Auburn and is only for people outside the City of Auburn, because they have their own taxing mechanism. He says so really the people that are really affected are outside the city which he thinks issues as well. He hopes to hear these concerns from the residents. Dennison says he is all for having a public hearing and he wants the public to know why we are thinking of doing this and how long it’s been since an increase. Lattimore says he will be voting no on this. McNabb-Coleman says that we are looking to hold a public hearing on this local law to align our policy with state law that was enacted in 1992. She thinks that it is important we align our policies with the state this time. Baxter calls the question. Mahunik thanks the body for their donation to Operation Enduring Gratitude.

COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT: Suzanne Sinclair – Attached CHAIR REPORT: Keith Batman Batman discusses the Owasco Lake Watershed effort and says they have had mul- tiple meetings with local, state, and regional staff. He says they are looking at how to move forward. He says it is important to be reminded the issue has two focal points. He says one is the immediate issue of public health which is toxins in the drinking water. He says the second is the longer term of the restoration of the Owasco Lake watershed to its previous condition. He says they are moving forward on really a pretty focused single front, which is to determine what needs to be done to put in place at the water treatment facilities in Auburn and Owasco the changes and treatment of the water that are needed to remove any and all toxins that may enter the plant. He says toward that end the City of Auburn has completed its initial look to determine what an engineer would cost to come in and determine what needs to be done to fix the plant. He says the next step would be to hire the engineer to see what needs to be done if we want to remove toxins in the water before it gets into anyone’s homes. He says it is critically important that be done prior to next year’s bloom season, which could start in maybe June of July. He says there are emergency options being discussed as McNabb-Coleman has pointed out, but we are hoping they will not be necessary. He says the long term fixes have to do with the blooms and there are two types of blooms. He says there are algae blooms and then there are blue-green algae blooms. He says blue-green algae is actually a cyanobacteria and not an algae. He says that for blue-green algae. He says the significance in that is our approach in confronting the blue-green there is no question that phosphorus is the controlling nutrient for algae blooms, but ---PAGE BREAK--- 334 not quite so clear algae problem, which is the source of the toxins. He says that it has to be one that looks at nutrient load overall all and not as simple as how we reduce phosphorus. He says the question becomes how to reduce nutrient in lake since we are not entirely certain for the causes of the blue-green algae blooms. He says at this point we are taking a multiple approach and we will have meetings with DEC next week. He says the manure group has been looking at ways of reducing the manure load from agriculture. He says they have also begun to look at issues we need to consider regarding nutrient load overall and not simply manure or phosphorus. He says there will be some recommendations on nutrient loading within the next 2 months. He says one of the things that they are consid- ering which is critically important is we need to begin to realize more fully that the problem with nutrients in the lake is multi-faceted. He says that it happens because of ditching, stream bank erosion, people that live on the lake have a responsibility, and of course we need to look at agriculture as a major partner in this process. He says we need to move forward aggressively in the next few months to at least reduce the issues. He says that we also need to remember our problem is not just the Owasco Lake Watershed. He says that our problem is lake water- sheds. He says right now in the Cayuga Lake Watershed there is a hydrilla infes- tation in Aurora in Cayuga. He says hydrilla is a dangerous and ugly invasive weed that will spread and result in the deterioration of that lake. He says that this is a big problem for our county. He says we are blessed with the most linear miles of lakefront in any county of New York State and one of the most waterfront miles of any county in the country. He says it is a blessing, but it is also a huge respon- sibility and means we have a lot of work to do. Lattimore says the federal government spends a lot of money reclaiming beaches in Florida and other coastal areas. He thinks it would be nice if the federal govern- ment took action and put the soil that is super enriched back on the farmland and eradicate the weed that is causing the bloom. He says he hopes we actually take actions instead of studying it. Batman says that is what he meant and wants to be clear there is a lot of studying that needs to be done, but our intent is identify things we can do very specifically and begin to implement those. He agrees there are things that need to be done. Batman says they did have mediation with the SEACC Union and that resulted in an agreement and union has voted to approve. He says it was a result of mediation and not simple negotiation. He says the negotiations and discussions with CH4 have also moved forward and the agreement is being drafted now. He also reminds the legislators of the NYSAC spring conference is January 30th through February 1st. He says if anyone is interested in going to please let Sheila know.

He says he told them that it did not pass committees. He says he has also been asked if it can be brought back at another time. Batman says yes, because even if it were voted on and defeated it could be brought back another time. He says he cannot speak for the group, but his assump- tion is that since we do not need it in this year’s budget the legislature did not want to support it. Dennison says that he thinks people would have rather seen it voted down rather than pulled. Batman responds that he should have supported it in committee then or he could make a motion to introduce it again. He says it does not matter in future action though, because it could still be brought back or not. Batman closed the Public Hearing at 6:34PM Foley says part of the reason that LEG-1 was brought up was because of fear that sales tax might be down. He says several tax or fee increases have been discussed this year. He says he would like to have a better idea next year of where we are going with sales tax before we put something forward like LEG-1.

Lattimore says he wouldn’t want to see a project delayed or stalled because it is in contingency. Mahunik asks if $25,000 is going to be enough. Mahunik thinks we need better idea of numbers.

She says the libraries have a mixture of those who have Wi-Fi and there are still some struggle with them. She says that internet and Wi-Fi access is instrumental to all 9 of the libraries. She says people expect their public library to be the provider of high speed internet and Wi-Fi. She says all of the libraries have different funding modules. She says every library in the system gets a small amount of money from NYS, but there is a variety of funding options with them all. She says these libraries are vital to the community and where people turn to in times of crisis, of need, and of comfort. She says there has been an increase also in the amount of people who are looking for jobs coming in to fill out job applications. She thinks people have a false perception that it is easy to apply for jobs these days. She says of someone is not comfortable filling out a job form online that is how most jobs are these days. She says a lot of people go to their public library and will get ---PAGE BREAK--- 359 Monday, December 5, 2016 assistance for filling out applications. She says libraries also offer a lot of vital programming for the communities from anything to early literacy programs, story time, book discussion groups, and etc. She says libraries are an impactful portion of our community. She is asking the legislature to consider funding the Cayuga County libraries and would like $60,000 dollars to be spilt equally to each of the 9 libraries. She says the $60,000 dollars would offset something called Polaris which is their online cataloging system. Foley asks if it is an annual cost that is part of the operating budget for the library system. Glogowski says that each year they charge and they have to offset their charges. She says unlike the libraries over 80% of her funding for the library system comes from NYS. She says right now they are on a tenuous budget system with what is going on with the state. She says they charge the libraries for the most part $5,800 dollars a year, but Auburn does a little more and they are around $13,000 to provide Polaris. She says that the money from the legislature would be to offset those costs. She says that if the libraries do not get the money from the county their circulation or collection might be decreased and programs they want to provide might not happen. She says they are asking the county to consider one time funding to start out, but it is a cost for Polaris that they ask from libraries each year. Didio asks how much of the funding from the legislature would the City of Auburn receive and she says it would be an equal split. Dennison asks if the county gave money would the state give less. She responds no because it is set in April with the state budget. Foley asks if this will open up funding or not. Glogowski says that if they knew they would have this money it could open up possibilities for other things for them. She says when we apply for grants they always want to see that we are being good stewards with our money and making an effort to make partnerships with others. She says that our libraries are very busy places and she wants them to be the best that they can be. Kyle asks what other counties out into their libraries and she says it is as low as $5,000 and her highest is Tompkins County which puts in $17,000 to $20,000 for their libraries. • Doug Ververs- Attached Baxter asks if they were to receive the $10,000 dollars if there would be more money forthcoming because if it. Ververs says in their match formula whether it is a one time or an adjustment to the base appropriation. He says there is a 3 year average formula that is used with the federal support and state support which would increase based on the $10,000 dollar increment. Dennison asks if in the past four years there has been an increase. Ververs says there was an increase of $500 on the federal side this year. • Sue Edinger- Speaks on behalf of the libraries and would like to see Ca- yuga County contribute • Cheryl Austin- Speaks on behalf of the libraries and would like to see Cayuga County contribute ---PAGE BREAK--- 360 • Charlie Greene- Greene says he is here to request a minimum of $150,000 to establish a local fund for the restoration of Owasco Lake. He says the County and the City continually request funds from the state and federal governments and have been told in effect that there will be no money beyond what has already been contributed to the nine elements plan. He says the County and the City are engaged in developing a plan b for next summer, which seems to be some variation of stockpiling drinking water in a warehouse, hiring engineering firms to look at the cost of water from Skaneateles Lake and connecting into aqua from Lake Ontario. He says he has received a public email that had been disturbed to all the legislators and perhaps others and in response to that he says the legislature is cowardly and derelict in their duty. He also says that in a progressive view point they are all guilty of ecocide. He says they have left their decision to the last minute and refused to vote tonight. He says that if there was initiative he would think the legislature should be recalled and thinks they are exploiting the poor people of this county who paid almost $5 million dollars for the water in 2015. He says that instead of being the best tasting water in NYS as it was in 1997 is now very toxic. He says he would encourage the legislature to resign tonight.

Discussion on motion: Whitman says this is the 2nd year we have had them cut out and says why would be go backwards.

Kyle says he likes to support them because having other revenue looks good when trying to get grants. He says they help children to the unem- ployed and is a good thing to support. McNabb-Coleman says we are currently in a good situation with fund balance and we should invest in ourselves and libraries are one of those.

Thursday, December 15, 2016 ---PAGE BREAK--- 404 Foley says the way he looks at it is no one is voting against it because they don’t support the park.
