NOMINATIONS FOR LEGISLATIVE CHAIRPERSON. Motion by Whitman to nominate Michael Chapman as Chairman, 2nd by Pinckney Motion by Batman to nominate Mark Farrell as Chairman, 2nd by Vitale Batman discusses a new ballot vote he has been working on. He says he does not know if it requires a vote or formal action to do so. Westphal says he believes it requires formal action but he thinks it is up to the body. Batman makes a motion, 2nd by Reginelli Discussion: Chapman asks about rules of order and if in order to make a change it has to be done formally. Westphal says that he is not sure if it is a change to the rules. He says that he would look to the body to see if it is a change. Chapman says that seeing as how we have just seen this he thinks that it needs to go through committee first. Didio says Batman’s proposal has merit but he also thinks some- thing of this magnitude would go through committee. He says there has been no discussion about it and we do not know if it is even legal through our attorney and he does not support this at this time. Batman says it may or may not be a good idea but to suggest that the idea is complicated and requires a lot of discussion he suggests that we have had 200 years of discussion. He says that elections in this country are not handled on the basis of do you support this person or that person Friday, January 2, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 2 but rather with people that are nominated for a position and then people vote. He says he is not sure why it would be so controversial. Pecher says that anyone that feels that they don’t want to vote no on a candidate can simply abstain and that would solve the problem. He says to do it the regular way and move forward. Reginelli says that he thinks it is a question of confidentiality and we should have balloting regardless of what the decision is because is the American way and the American right. Whitman says that they vote on an awful lot of decision right here in public and he does not see where this is any different. He says that he does not have a problem at all with Batman’s idea or change but this is something that needs to be discussed and should go through the normal process. Motion is defeated by majority vote, 549/287/49. Batman says that he would like to hear from each candidate before we vote what their vision and goals are as Chair and how they will move the County forward. Chapman says one of the things he did when he first became Chairman is remain transparent and that is something he will continue to do. He says he will continue to promote teamwork because that is how we get things done. He thinks a fine example is from this past year was the way we came together with the budget. He says that we need a multi-year budget plan and he would challenge the body to commit to the construction of a multi-year budget plan. He says that there is no reason we should not have such a budget plan in our hands by probably mid-May. He says that there is no reason we can’t have the proposed or tentative budget that we look at some time in June to give us some more time to look. He says this coming year we will not have the same advantages this as we did last year of the vacancies and the nursing home money. He says we are going to have to have sharper pencils and better suggestions with longer meetings. He says collabora- tion between city and towns is something he will push and push very hard. He says we have had a number of meeting with our colleagues in the city and we do not seem to be able to get off the curb. He says this is the year to get off the curb and the very first baby step we can make is getting our motor pools together and then we can work on storage and the highway facilities. He says regional communica- tions he has tried very hard to make Cayuga County well known. He thinks we have benefited with those contacts with those regional people because we have been able to facilitate some meetings and we are going to continue to do that. He says we have an Indian issue which is 25 plus years old. He says we have made a lot of attorneys very happy he thinks the time has become riper and riper for us to get a decision out of Washington being able to sit down with a recognized leadership committee working on an arrangement so Cayuga County can reap the benefits. He says we also need to work on grants and keep our department heads constantly searching for the grants that are out there. He says lastly this year as the Chair- man he would challenge all the committee chairs and every member of the legis- lature to do more homework. He says we need for ideas, questions, comments and discussions. He asks for the body’s consideration and would like to return as Chair. He says there are many unfinished things to do and many challenges in 2015. Friday, January 2, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 3 Farrell does not like to think he is campaigning for this position. He says when Mr. Chapman talks about the commitment to asking the questions, trying to educate ourselves and trying to hold people accountable. He says he has tried to do that since day one since he has been here. He thinks they all get elected as Democrats, Republicans, Independents and write-ins but he thinks that when we walk into this building we should all become legislators. He thinks our decisions should be based on what the best decision is for the county tax payers and not what is best based on a political party. He thinks the county needs a vision and he has been surprised in the 3 years that he hasn’t a long range financial plan. He says our sights need to be based further than just the daily operation of the govern- ment. He says we really need to be looking down the road on where we want to be long term. He feels we need a five year financial plan. He thinks we need to put together a nonpartisan group of economic leaders such as the Treasurer, County Administrator, Budget Officer and others and we should do it now. He says that this will keep us from relying on a dwindling fund balance and exceeding our tax cap. He thinks the tax payers should not put with another year without a plan. He thinks that any substantial funds that are remaining when the nursing home is closed out should be utilized to set our fund balance where an adequate level is for our daily operation. He says once we do that he thinks we need an assessment done of our capital improvements. He does not think nursing home funds should go for future budgets to put them together. He thinks when this nursing home money comes into our hands if years down the road it is exhausted. We should be able to look back over our shoulder and have something to show for it. He thinks we need to have a funding mechanism and it needs to be established for future capital needs. We need to create an account that we can address these needs when they arise and reduce future borrowing. He thinks the consolidation cooperation of municipalities within the county need to be a priority. He thinks we all need to maintain a level of service for the tax payers in difficult times. He says that serious conversation needs to take place with the City, Towns and Villages. He says lastly he thinks all of us in county government need to have a better under- standing and agree on the respective roles of each other. He thinks we need to improve the understanding of duties and roles and thus improve county opera- tions and promote open communication in government.

APPOINTMENTS AND RE-APPOINTMENTS: COMMITTEE REPORT: None CHAIRMAN’S REPORT: Chapman appreciates what Farrell said about having the designation of parties disappear after tonight and hopes we will all work together in the new year. He says we represent all of the citizens and our decisions affect the citizens. He says we had challenges in 2014 and some will linger with us in 2015 and we will have a whole group of new ones. He says that we found out that we can work together. He says sometimes it has been clear to us that we need to change some of the policies that are redundant and we need to get out of the ruts that we are in and move down the road. He thinks one of the things Farrell mentioned was one of the ideas that came to light was the highway department and the roads that are paved. He says that yes it is going to be a major priority but it is going to take each and every one of us to make a contribution. He says we all need to be better informed. He says to all look for more details in the reports we get from our Department Heads and whomever that comes before us. He says we have all experienced the frustration at the speed at which the government travels and we would all like to speed it up but please ask the question and do not be afraid to communicate. He says that is how we will keep the team together and how we will get across next year’s finish line. He says we look to our workforce and they have been a great team. He appreciates everyone’s dedications and he says it has been an honor and privilege to work with everyone and it will be at the end of 2015. He says when we leave here tonight we leave here collectively as a body working toward the same goals.

ROLL CALL: Sheila Smith, Clerk of the Legislature, all Legislator’s present PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: MOMENT OF PRAYER: INTRODUCTION: Michelle Baines, Director of Operations, Cayuga County Water & Sewer Author- ity DEATHS: Our sincere condolences to the families and friends of: Vincent Mahunik, beloved father of Legislator Patrick Mahunik. Bernie Newcomb retired Cayuga County Director of Probation. Henry Ververs, father of Doug Ververs Executive Director of Cornell Cooperative Extension. Charles Riffle, brother-in-law of Legislator Paul Pinckney.

PRESENTATIONS: Steve Churchill, a Seneca County Supervisor- Gas Storage on Seneca Lake-Attached (There are 17 municipalities and 4 counties who oppose such storage. Cayuga County has the largest amount of water near the proposed storage location. This will assist us in preserving our water supplies.) Tuesday, January 27, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 7 Discussion: Chapman says that hopefully we will think about constructing a resolution in support and moving that forward. Baxter says that he has some residents of his district who would also like to speak on the subject. Kathleen Gorr says she is a resident of Niles who moved here from a Chicago suburb approximately 8 years ago. She has been following this controversy and she would like to speak in support of the resolution. She believes that the risks that have been pointed out are too great given what we have built here. She says it is our job to see that our area provides jobs for all of its citizens and provides a healthy environment. Judy Gentleman she is in favor of the consideration of a resolution. She says a resolution to deny Crestwood’s request for a permit. She says this enterprise does not belong on Seneca Lake and the expansion of this project under the terms that have been proposed by Crestwood. She says now even the President of Crestwood admits that it is a bad idea. She says that it flies in the face of all the economic prospects in the region in terms of agro tourism and the very important wine industry which is growing. She says that we have read recently of investors from Europe who are interested in coming to this area to develop a greater infrastruc- ture in the wine industry and they are not going to come if this is what the people of the region see as the future for the Finger Lakes. She says that it is a problem for the region and it is not just one of the lakes. She would urge the legislature in the strongest possible terms to consider supporting this request and to develop a resolution from our county to request a denial for a permit. Batman says he also has a constituent that would like to speak on behalf of this issue. Merrill Mandelo she also supports the resolution that could be presented from this county. She says you have pretty much already heard all the reasons why it is important. She says that even if you just drive through the area and see its beauty you can immediately understand how much this will change that. She says that putting aside all the other important issues that alone is enough for her to say this is wrong for our central New York and our Finger Lakes. She hopes the legisla- ture can seriously consider putting together a resolution. Batman suggests that this goes to the Government Operations Committee for consideration and a possible resolution to bring back at the next meeting. Chapman says that he believes we have sample resolutions that we could proper at that time and accelerate the process so we will do that. 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.

CCC REPORT: Dr. DeCinque - Attached COMMITTEE REPORTS & INDIVIDUAL LEGISLATORS’ REPORTS: Didio discusses the Substance Abuse Committee reports that most facilities in Cayuga County as far as alcohol and drug treatment are concerned are at capacity. He adds that if you are concerned about the mental health chemical abuser pro- grams, Mr. Bizzari runs an inclusive program and he does not see anyone who does anything close to what we do here. He says there is a campaign to combat heroin and they are completing a phase 1 portion of it. He says that it is in the second phase that the Governors combat on heroin that was launched in Septem- ber. He says the reason for it is to inform and educate New Yorkers about the risks of heroin and prescription opioid use. He says to access the information it is on Combat Heroin Campaign. He says the Owasco Lake Management Council had a presentation by Dr. John Halfman about the quality of Owasco Lake for 2014. He says that it was disappointing but it has regressed somewhat but reasons being was the abundances of rain we received last late winter and spring that were across the Finger Lakes. He says we are not the only lake to have problems. He says there are many aspects that the committee is looking at to improve the water and they are going in effect as we speak. Lattimore discusses the outline from the city in regards to their 2016-2020 finan- cial plans. He says one of the things that was included in there was their fund balance. He says he knows we have always had an issue with how much fund balance we should carry. He says he does not know where there comptroller got their statistics but he would like to see what we should have and it is interesting that they have put out their 5 year plan. Tuesday, January 27, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 9 COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT: Suzanne Sinclair CHAIRMAN’S REPORT: Michael Chapman Chapman says thanks to everyone who spread the word and participated in the blood drive. He says he attended the City Hall presentation of the Governor’s Budget Proposals. He says that we have to remember that these are the proposals set for by the Governor and it it is up to us to continually remind our state elected officials what we find most important and in what direction we need to proceed. He says he knows Dr. DeCinque alluded to the comments made about Community Colleges and he thinks there were a number of areas where we would like to see more dollars directed to the region. He says in addition there is going to be this competition through the consolidated funding and the regional counsels so we will have a couple of opportunities for funds in our future. He says he had meeting with a lady from the State of Virginia who represents on national basis rail freight and she provided a letter to ask for support. He says there was also some discussion with Senator Nozzolio’s Office and they are looking for additional support re- garding home site and housing in our region. He says that letter has been ad- dressed and taken care of. He discusses a meeting this morning with OWLA and after that meeting he received a call from Senator DeFrancisco’s Office. He says that they wanted to see if he was aware of the information that was presented that morning. He says the OWLA group has made a request to the Governor for $779,000 dollars to be placed in the budget or to be granted for additional protection for Owasco Lake by reducing the injection of phosphorus into the water. He also mentions attending three Eagle Scout ceremonies and he wished he could have looked in the paper the next morning and seen that as a headline. He says that there were many people in attendance and it was truly a rewarding experience. Motion by Didio to approve Chairman’s Appointments, 2nd by Runkle, all in favor.

CCC REPORT: Dr. DeCinque – Attached COMMITTEE REPORTS & INDIVIDUAL LEGISLATORS’ REPORTS: Foley mentions a friend of the Legisalture Dave Arnold who lost his battle with cancer and passed away and was very big in Cayuga County. He says he sits on the Tourism Board and while they are not specifically taking any action or side on the Tuesday, February 24, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 34 gas storage what he has heard from that board is that tourism is affected by things like this that affect the lake. He says that it could potentially have a negative impact here.

He says that he is happy to say that there is a plan and he think it is a very good. He hopes that everybody takes the time to consider and really look atit. He thanks Wethey and Talbot for the work that they did. Runkle adds a little to the College report and says that enrollment this year is down roughly 150 students compared to last year. He says that we are still on budget from more out of state people enrolling into the college. He says that the college is starting to work on the 2015-2016 budget. He says the County’s contri- bution o the college every year has been relatively flat for th last 4-5 years. He says the college will be looking for monetary support from the county this coming budget year. He also says he would like to in the next month or so put our legislators to work a bit. He says every month we approve bills for the previous month and over the years there have been various legisaltors that review some of those bills. He says we would like to have some of our legislators pick out some bills and become familiar with departments to help us with the upcoming year. Chapman can attest to the difference it makes in the understanding of what bills come before the body. He says as we did this for a number of years members of Ways & Means were each assigned a portion of the warrant and they were expected to do the math and check for inaccuracy. He says many questions arose and they straightened out a huge problem that they had for years such as Verizon tele- phones for example because we learned we had lines we were paying for that no one was assigned to or using them. He encourages everyone to do that because it makes a big difference when you know what you are looking at. He syas he knows Farrell has demonstrated that. Batman updates on the manure working group who have meeting for the past month or so and talking specifically with manure in the county and how that affects the lakes. He says that they are making progress and they will be coming forward with a recommendation on some things that we and others might consider doing. He says by probably April if not before they will be coming. Lattimore compliments Vitale on the round table they had with the City and Katko. He says he hopes Katko can come here because he thinks the more our Federal Representatives know our needs the better off we are. Lattimore asks for his video to be shown and says Lietnenatent Colonel William Walters was a 1990 graduate of Union Springs and to be highlighted from that magnitude is an accom- plishment. Tuesday, February 24, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 35 Didio gives a quick update and says that Congressman Katko and his staff have been invited to the Owasco Lake Management Council meeting. He says that invitation is also going out to all our State Officials and Representatives. Chapman says that in regards to Congressman Katko and invitation has been extended to his office to speak to this legislature or meet at his convenience depending on his schedule. He syas we hoipe we can bring him up to date on some items. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT: Suzanne Sinclair CHAIRMAN’S REPORT: Michael Chapman Chapman says thanks to Lattimore for attendng the NAACP luncheon on his behalf. He says that OWLA is looking for some money to come from Albany and we are still in the process of constructing some letters of request.

RESOLUTION NO. 69-15 2-24-15 LEG CAYUGA COUNTY CONCERNS OVER PROPOSED LPG STORAGE PROJECT IN THE SENECA LAKE WATERSHED. BY: Cayuga County Legislature WHEREAS, the Cayuga County Legislature recognizes the importance of Seneca Lake to the State and to the local community as a drinking water source, for recreation, as a natural habitat, and in supporting the thriving tourism economy of the Finger Lakes Region; and WHEREAS, Crestwood has proposed a large scale liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) storage facility adjacent to and beneath Seneca Lake; and WHEREAS, said project would involve storage of LPG in caverns created by the solution mining of salt deposits below and adjacent to Seneca Lake, and movement and surface storage of salt water displaced from said caverns as LPG is pumped into and out of said caverns; and WHEREAS, the Cayuga County Legislature is deeply concerned with the potential for dramatic and catastrophic environmental impacts from this project due to: 1. The uncertain geologic stability of the subterranean caverns, and the risk that such caverns could be compromised by even low level earthquakes that are common in this region of New York State. 2. The threat of discharge of large amounts of salt water from surface storage facilities into Seneca Lake or its tributaries. 3. The threat of discharge of large amounts of salt water as it is being moved between subterranean caverns and surface storage facilities during the course of operations. 4. The threat of LPG seepage from said subterranean caverns; and RESOLVED, that the Cayuga County Legislature joins Senator Michael Nozzolio in respectfully requesting that the New York State Department of Environmental Conser- vation withhold approval of any plan for mass storage of LPG adjacent to or under Seneca Lake and exercise its power in assisting in determining a more appropriate loca- tion for any such storage site; and further RESOLVED, that certified copies of this resolution be sent to Senator Michael Nozzolio, Senator John DeFrancisco, Senator James Seward, Gary Finch and Robert Oaks, Assembly Minority Leader Brian Kolb, the Commissioner of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, Joseph Martens, Director, 625 Broadway, Albany, NY 12233-1011, the Permit Administrator for Region 8 of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, 6274 East Avon-Lima Road, Avon, NY 14414; Seneca County Board of Supervisors, Schuyler County Legislature, Ontario County Legislature, Tompkins County Legislature, Yates County Legislature, Senator Charles Schumer, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Philip Palmesano, Tuesday, February 24, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 56 Senator Thomas O’Mara, Congressman Thomas Reed, and Governor Andrew Cuomo.

Snell responds the one thing that the new planner for the county is moving forward with is trying to get all the towns on board with a watershed wide zoning. He says legislation will be forth coming. Lattimore asks if we could not implement some kind of a dredg- ing system. Snell says that is exactly what needs to happen with the nature of the watershed. He says that it is a flashy watershed and tends to transport sediments very easily and by slowing the velocities down upland that will certainly take care of that. Ruzicka asks if he has put together anytime of planning for activities to approach the county legislature and all local municipalities to support some of the actions and legislation that will be needed. Snell responds that certainly with the road inventory that is moving forward in that manner. He says that it will be presented to the towns to tell them what is going on with their drainage networks. Ruzicka asks if there will be a countywide legislative effort that could be filtered down to the townships. He says what he envisions happening is that all the town- Wednesday, February 25, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 58 ships that have direct effects upon Owasco Lake be brought together and some suggestive legislation be put into place. Snell adds that not only does it need to be for Cayuga County it needs to be for Tompkins County as well. Regional Public Safety Building – Jeff Dygert, Auburn Fire Chief will provide an update on the planning for a new regional public safety building to replace the current city police and fire headquarters, and provide space for colocation of County, State and private public safety operations. -Attached Cuddy says when this was introduced in council he is hoping that if there are any interested legislators willing to participate in these early meetings that would be beneficial. Lattimore asks if there is any way to utilize other firehouses and public safety buildings. Dygert says that the buildings have outlived their usefulness at this point. Batman says to identify a couple of people on our legislature to work with a couple of people from the city. He says the person on our legislature who has the most knowledge on the legislature is Mark Farrell. He says if Farrell is willing and it is okay with the group he would suggest Farrell and someone from the current Judicial Commit- tee to work with the city. Dygert thinks that would be fantastic. He says that the timing for the applications to the state for funding puts them on a tight timeline. Chapman says he thinks we need a few more details and then get the small group together and go ahead with it. Farrell says he thinks it is an excellent idea and thinks that the county could benefit from it. He agrees that if not 911 at least the backup 911 and our Emergency Management Office. He thinks it would be natural to have a state of the art training room for everyone. He says it would be nice to know the dollar figure of how much the taxpayers have out into Market St. over the years. Dygert responds they have already done that internally and they have a figure of what they have put into over the last 20 years and an anticipated cost if we do not do something. McCormick asks if he has seen something like this in another state. Dygert responds yes, there are other states that have done this. City County Fleet operations subcommittee report – Mike Talbot and George Wethey will provide an action plan for centralizing the maintenance of the city and county light duty fleets. -Attached Camardo asks what kind of costs savings we are looking at. Talbot responds that right away there are going to be some operating expenses for maintaining one garage versus two and some efficiencies with energy usage with a new facility. Camardo asks if there are any permanent numbers and Talbot responds, no they are pretty preliminary right now. Batman says as he looks at this in terms of cost savings we will probably not realize any for a while but as we look down the road in long run, we can look to some cost savings. He cautions that we do not go into this expecting to save money in the first couple of years. Talbot thinks where we will see considerable savings is after the year five once a new facility is built and we are all together. Lattimore discusses the pay scale and making sure to compen- sate equally. Talbot says he is glad he brought that up cause it is something their committee discussed. He says it will not be easy at times but he thinks any issue that we have identified can be handled. Ruzicka views it as views it as growing into its own joint cost center operated by both the city. Chapman thinks most all of us Wednesday, February 25, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 59 have been very hopeful that we would be here today and we certainly want to see it continue to proposer. He thanks everyone on the committee. Quill thanks Talbot and Wethey for the presentation. He asks if we are going to look in the 3-5 year area and says we talk often about the donut towns and nothing against our neigh- bors from the far south or north, but are we looking to possibly have a mainte- nance contract for some of their vehicles. He says as long as we have the equip- ment and common supplies. Wethey says that it has not been talked about but as it matures, it would definitely be an area to explore. Didio asks about the funding and where we would begin. Wethey says that this kind of like planting an apple tree it is not going to bear fruit for a while. He says at first year 1 and 2 will cost money before we see a savings. He says first we would like to have an environmen- tal assessment of the building. Didio asks you is responsible for the environmen- tal assessment. Talbot responds that we would seek advice first. Sinclair says she agrees that the bottom line is important but we need to weigh the cost of what two new facilities would be. She says we are sitting here saying the facilities we have are outdated so there is not just a cost savings but a cost avoidance which is an important consideration. She says while taxpayers are concerned about the bot- tom line there is also a certain intuitive logic to put such two similar facilities together. Quill says that he would like to see the School District invited to the next meeting. Motion by Didio to adjourn at 8:17PM, 2nd by Foley, all in favor.

PRESENTATIONS: NYSEG- Bob Pass, Carol Howland, Tim Martha Mauro, Clay Ellis and Alex Roth(Attached) Discussion: Farrell says that he represents the Town of Brutus and his constituents have concerns particularly in the Tanner Road area where there is an existing right of way. He says the Town of Brutus is asking if that right of way can be used instead of infringing upon those residents in that area that we would be going through. He says clearing out trees which will make an economic impact with one gentleman who produces maple syrup over in that area. He says people also have concerns to the resale value of their house with the size of the towers that are going through. He says the big question he is getting from everyone is why that right of way that is in existent cannot be used. Pass responds that there are mostly using existing right of way but in the situation of Tanner Road they have had meetings with some of the property owners who have maple syrup business and they have worked with them. He says because some of the interactions and discussions they have had with people on Tanner Road they are looking at moving the line to the south. Vitale says he has been supporting the resolution from the very beginning be- cause our feeling is there are right of ways and we would hope that as much would be done within those that exist so there is less impact on economics. He asks if NYSEG can do what has to be done within the existing right of ways. They respond that they are attempting to use as much of the existing right of ways and doing it where they can. Tuesday, March 24, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 61 Lattimore gives privilege of the floor to Mary Emily Slate Vice President and General Manager of Nucor Steel Mill. She explains that Nucor uses electricity that is a huge power source for them. She says because Nucor is a large energy user, reliable electric service is critical to their operation. She says that NYSEG identified a need for transmission upgrade over 5 years ago. She says that from their perspective the new line sand upgrades are actually the minimum improve- ments necessary to assure reliability. She says regardless of what might happen concerning the proposed repowering of the Cayuga Power Plants these transmis- sion upgrades are needed for system reliability anyway. She says an inadequate local grid could affect everyone in this region but it would wreak havoc with Nucor steel making operations. Wayne Bishop, CH4 President, discussing partnering with the Digester (Attached) Discussion: Chapman asks if we are going to get real details. He asks if there will be another presentation at Planning. Baxter says at this time they do not have another pre- sentation scheduled. He says he thinks Bishop’s intent at this point was to get a feel and a verbal that we are interested or whether we think it will work or not. Chapman thinks there are a lot of areas that need to be dissected. He thinks we are going to need more details because we are in a situation where there are serious financial considerations before moving ahead. Bishop says that there are some details that are being discussed and a lot of work done. He says that they are really looking for a commitment from Cayuga County to have the banks invest. Chapman asks if the proposal is to purchase or lease. Bishop says there is a lot of discussion going on but nothing has really been locked down at this point. Pecher asks Westphal if we can contract something like this for 10 years. Westphal says to keep in mind that the Digester is owned by the Cayuga County Soil and Water Conservation District not by the County. He says the County interest is in the debt at some level.

Cuomo, New York State Senators John A. DeFrancisco (District 50), James L. Seward (District 51), Michael F. Nozzolio (District 54), and New York State Gary D. Finch (District 126) and Robert C.

You will be allowed to speak for 3 to 5 minutes. You must state your name and address. Michael Chapman giving privilege of the floor to Lawler-Attached Terry Baxter giving privilege of the floor to Wayne Bishop-Attached Chapman asks about concept one and moving heat out to the jail and there not being a way to facilitate that at this point. Bishop says there is only one component that is missing which is a heat exchanger and they ae willing to get that set up. Chapman asks Bishop about the go or no go decision if they do not get a ten year agreement. He says personally from what he has seen thus far he would advocate for a five year agreement to see how it goes. Bishop says one thing they wanted to do in the energy service agreement was have a ten year contract so they could satisfy the banks but actually use an index at year five so that the County or CH4 is not taking a long term hedge. He says they like to work off of the CPI Index which they like to think keeps everyone true and whole so nobody is taking a risk. Baxter mentions that the initial contract that Bishop is discussing only applies to the campus not to the net metering off campus. Bishop says they would like to do it at the campus and county level because they want to push all the power back to the county. Bennett asks about the rate of .085 cents and how they can do that across NYSEG’ s lines. Bishop responds because the net metering allows them to do that and they have had discussions with NYSEG and CCPUSA so they feel comfortable that they can take this position. Pecher believes that the last time we discussed this matter it was said that we would need to pass a local law to make a Tuesday, April 28, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 97 contract go for more than 5 years and Westphal responds that is correct. Batman asks what the status is of the contract that was sent. Westphal responds that the contact was sent. Bishop responds that he has already redlined that and it is ready to go back. He says there was only a term that he was trying to figure out before he sent it back. Sinclair asks about the heat going to from the Digester to the Public Safety Building and how it might impact the cost of heating that building. Bishop says what they are doing is calibrating everything back to a $1.00 per kilowatt basis including the heat so it is all in the same basis. Bennett asks what equip- ment out there is going to become part of CH4 and what happens to the by-product and the vehicles we purchased to transport it. Bishop responds that they are work- ing on a lease structure if they can get this approved with Soil & water which allows us to operate and maintain the facility over a 20 year period. He says eventually once we pay that asset off then it would transfer in our name but the ground would stay with Cayuga County. He says the existing trucks that are being utilized we need to talk about and negotiate. He says that they do need the trucks. He says that the by-product is where they will spend a lot of money on this project by putting compost on the back end of this asset. Chapman asks about composting and controlling the odor that it produces. Bishop responds that it does not smell like odor it smells like compost which he says is earthy and to smells good to him. He says he knows other people have different receptors of that. He says they plan on putting it in an enclosed building and having bio-filters on it to mitigate odor. Chapman asks if CH4 would be able to stand in front of any claims that come forth in regard to any ill effects from odor or that sort of thing. Bishop responds yes and they do it all the time. Chapman says he thinks that the details are lacking. Bishop says that they are trying to make it as clean and straightforward as pos- sible and that is why they are trying to see if they can contract directly with NYSEG to net meter the asset. He says we have the framework of how we want to work with Soil & water but the contract has not been completely ironed out yet. Chapman asks Bishop if he has to have a contract or if he can have a letter of interest. Bishop says that they need a contract and further says the energy ser- vices agreement is really what they need. Chapman asks if we can talk about 5 years or if it is 10 or nothing. Bishop says that if the County says they won’t do a 10 year deal then he will talk about a 5 year deal. Chapman says that he would advocate for a 5 year deal and he would like to see how it plays out. Bishop says that he can present it back to the banks as a 5 year deal but they will want to advertise their debt over 5 years. Chapman says that it is really up to the body and asks if anyone wants to take a straw poll at this point. Batman says he does not want a straw poll he thinks it is in process in committee and it is a legal document. He says in his mind this is not the place to negotiate the specifics of a legal document. Chapman says that is fine he is just trying to give Bishop an opportu- nity here to go back and talk to the banks. Pecher asks what kind of timeframe Bishop is looking at for the legislature to make a decision because with a local law it will be 2 months down the road before we can make a binding decision. Bishop responds that timing is fine and if we could get an LOI in place we could work off of that for now. Baxter says if it is a 10 year contract and we will look at it again in 5 years to negotiate price. He says if the county does not like the price then there will be no second 5 years to the contract so to him committing to the 10 years with Tuesday, April 28, 2015 ---PAGE BREAK--- 98 a guaranteed price for 5 and the ability to cancel he does not see the risk of doing a 10 year contract. Chapman says he thinks the risk lies in the fact that we do not have any changes that Bishop would like to present back to our legal counsel. Baxter says we are not talking about the contract we are talking about the idea of the contract and discussing 5 or 10 years. He says no one is going to read the contract tonight or approve it. He says when it comes time if the contract is written and our lawyer says it is no good then we will not sign it. Chapman says we could at this point entertain providing a letter of interest in the arrangement of pur- chasing power for .085 cents. He asks if that would be agreeable. Runkle proposes that such a letter be given to Bishop. Pecher would like the letter to not be specific to the campus but to say that we would like to purchase the power for .085 cents. Chapman says so simply the County is interested in purchasing power at .085 cents for its facilities. Motion by Pecher on the proposed letter of interest, 2nd by Baxter, all in favor. Barbara Clarey discusses the Master plan for Emerson Park and says she supports the present plan for the Emerson Park Plan. She says that some of the short term and long term plans look very good.

He says they talked about new technologies and picked up a lot of information. He says one thing that stood out for him is that Orleans and Niagara County are in the process of doing a number of joint projects. He says he was intrigued by the number of things they do together and something he would like to follow up on. He makes a reminder that this Thursday is he Manure Advisory Committee Recommendations, 7PM at BOCES. Lattimore mentions he had dinner with Darlene Carr who used to be the CEO for Niagara Mohawk. He says she is now on the commission of Local Government Modernization for Onondaga County. He says he would love for her to come speak to us about what they are finding. COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR’S REPORT: Suzanne Sinclair – Attached Chapman asks about potential purchasing department opportunity with the city. Sinclair says no they did not discuss that this morning they were more focused on the motor pool. Farrell asks if Marinelli has seen the budget presentation and if they have seen any potential for cost savings. Sinclair says she does not think Marinelli has seen it. Farrell asks about the multiyear budget report and the 2.4 million in regards deficit. Sinclair says that is something that we can deal with as we move forward. Farrell says he thought at Ways & Means we were discussing a different figure. Sinclair asks if it was 2.7 because she may have neglected to change it in the report. CHAIRMAN’S REPORT: Michael Chapman Chapman says Owasco Lake Day coming up and it is a great opportunity to get a little further education. He says he sent everyone an email that we have a new Governors Aid to contact for our area and the contact information is in the email. He says the had a meeting in the Village of Genoa. He says they have a waste water treatment plant ---PAGE BREAK--- 154 that removes 94-99 percent of waste from the water. He says they are utilizing wetlands to do this and they do have a digester that is going to come on line. He says they also produce compressed natural gas to the tune of .49 cents a gallons and operate their own pickup truck. He says they are happy to arrange a tour if we would like to see in more depth what is going on. He mentions the grand opening at the Commons of St. Anthony. He thanks the committee members we had here who were faithful to the meetings regard- ing the nursing home. He gives a lot of credit to the Department of Health in the end knowing that this was a unique process that had never been done in NYS before. He says the Director has offered a tour to the legislature and see what the fruits of our labor has done. He says there is also a fairly large board room that we could take a committee meeting to. Motion by Runkle to approve appointments and re-appointments, 2nd by Whitman, all in favor except Bennett abstains Discussion: Batman would like to discuss the Dr. Stankus appointment. He says that it did not go through committee and he is not exactly sure why. He says that a delay in this appoint- ment for one month will interfere with the operations of the college. He says it is a critically important appointment which is 7 years and the initial appointment had 3 people interested. He says he does not want to speak against Stankus in anyway but he does think it is important to go through committee. He says he is not even sure if Stankus has confirmed his interest in a reappointment. He thinks it deserves discussion and he makes a motion to send it through committee for consideration in July. Chapman says there is a motion on the floor presently. Runkle says that Stankus is very enthused about being reappointed. He says his feeling is that we appointed him approximately a year ago and to delay it another month to talk about this particular gentleman or other men or women who want the appointment is a waste of time. He can attest that Stankus has done an outstanding job on the board and is an intelligent man and asks great questions. Chapman says he believes this term end at this end of this month and it was probably an oversight on both ends. Lattimore says he believes that Stankus is the right person and he would be a terrific resource for the new president coming in. Vitale says he does not believe there is any question whether Dr. Stankus is the right person or not. He says the issue is that we maybe three months ago a resolution to send things through committee the way we are supposed to. He says this will be the second or third time that we will not be following that policy. He believes we need to follow the policies we put in place.
