MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN:
“I would like to welcome our elected officials, department heads, family, friends, and media to
today’s meeting, and thank you for being here. One of the main attractions and interest to
our Organization meeting has been the distribution of committee assignments. I hate to
5
BOARD OF LEGISLATORS SESSION MINUTES, JANUARY 3, 2012
disappoint anyone that attended today’s meeting for the sole purpose of seeing if there would
be any changes to these assignments, but at this time, the list will remain the same. I will
say, however, that I plan to bring a suggested change in the Board Rules to the Ways and
Means Committee later this month, which will require changes in assignments at that time.
As I begin this message, the first order of business is to address my colleagues and again
humbly say “thank you” for the honor and privilege you have given me by selecting me as
Chairman of the Allegany County Board of Legislators. I accept this position with the utmost
sincerity, and my continued promise is that I will treat this position with the dignity it deserves,
and do all I can to help this Board not only meet, but exceed the responsibilities each of us is
charged with as County Legislators. Let me say what a pleasure it is to serve and work with
each and every member of this Board of Legislators and to see your dedication.
I would like to acknowledge and thank our County Administrator John Margeson for the
overall day-to-day management of County operations. As this Board meets, sets policy, and
gives direction, it is no small task to have those directions clearly and professionally carried
out. Thank you, John, for your dedication and professionalism.
I would also like to acknowledge and thank our Clerk of the Board Brenda Riehle for the work
that she and her staff carry out on behalf of the Board of Legislators. This office is run
proficiently under Brenda’s supervision and is truly the hub that keeps our Board in motion.
Thank you, Brenda, for all you do and for going beyond the call of duty on a regular basis on
our behalf.
Thank you, also, to the entire team of dedicated department heads, County employees, and
fellow elected officials that work so hard to meet the constant demands and challenges of
County government. The personal responsibility you take in meeting these demands and
challenges does not go unnoticed, and we appreciate your continued efforts.
Acknowledgment and appreciation is also due to all of the citizens who travel, meet,
volunteer, and lend their expertise and assistance on a regular basis to our advisory boards,
committees, and councils. Hundreds of Allegany County’s finest people devote themselves
to causes that help make our community a better place to live. I sincerely thank all our
volunteers. This appreciation and thank you would also extend to the men and women in our
Volunteer Fire and Rescue units; nothing could be said to properly express the sincere
appreciation for your service. On other occasions, I have expressed gratitude for the
volunteerism and community effort of people helping people in Allegany County. We are truly
fortunate to have a heritage such as this.
Gentlemen, today marks the halfway point of our service together. Today we begin year
three of our four-year term.
When this Board convened as a group with its current members two years ago, I pointed out
some differences that we started with that no other Allegany County Board of Legislators had:



We started with possibly the largest fund balance of any Board in our County’s history.
We have responsibly maintained our financial position and grown our fund balance.
We began our session with a project in hand that properly addresses the Court
Facilities Capital Plan Act passed by the State Legislature in 1987. We are only days
away from putting that project in the history books, and for the record, doing it under
budget, and exceeding the original plan by addressing more space needs than
anticipated.
We began our session with a municipal agreement in place with the Town of
Friendship, the engineering in place, and a defined project for development at the
Crossroads area at I-86 and State Route 19. Before we end our terms, I predict that
6



the hard work and dedication of numerous individuals that have been busy moving this
project forward will begin to pay off.
We started on day one with a Comprehensive Plan complete and in working order,
ready to be utilized. Not only has the plan been utilized, it is getting reworked and
updated as we speak to keep it fresh, and the updated plan will be ready for adoption
by the end of our term.
This Board began with a new standing committee, the Planning and Economic
Development Committee, with defined goals and direction. A committee that has
taken action to bring back a County Planner, that has expanded our vision on
communication possibilities and has brought Allegany County to the forefront of
regional development in communication planning.
Over the past couple of years:






Our Health Insurance costs have been contained.
Contracts with collective bargaining units have been signed.
The proper vetting and selecting of key personnel has been addressed in a
professional manner in response to the retirement of some long-serving department
heads.
Our infrastructure has been maintained and properly managed, and work has
continued on addressing our landfill capacity issues.
Our County Jail has continued to take in revenue from outside sources as planned to
reduce the burden of financing the facility by the taxpayers.
Work has continued on the refinement of departmental space needs and
requirements.
If some of this seems repetitive, it’s because it is, and in my opinion, worth repeating. A great
deal has been accomplished; some actions that have been taken will result in millions of
dollars of savings over time. Your work as a Board is commendable, and reminders of your
accomplishments should be repeated. The first two years of our current terms as Legislators
have been busy and productive.
We begin 2012 with new state legislation; the “Tax Cap” legislation is now officially in effect.
At a past State of the State presentation on January 13, 2011, in Jamestown, which I
attended, Governor Cuomo outlined an aggressive plan to, and I quote, “transform New York
State into an economic leader once again,” end quote. A plan, which we all applauded and
agreed, was desperately needed. I was glad to hear the Governor recognize that business
built New York and declare that New York is open for business once again. Not an easy
task, but the Governor’s optimism in attacking the problems and turning the crisis into
opportunity was motivating.
Following the presentation, I wrote to the Governor agreeing that our taxes in New York are
too high and that something needs to be done, as he aptly pointed out. In my letter, I stated,
and I quote, “The proposal to cap property tax is fine, in actuality it doesn’t go far enough.
We need to roll back property taxes in New York to be competitive, but this cannot be done
without addressing the cause of these high taxes - the mandated programs. These must be
addressed first; it’s only common sense,” end quote. Common sense, in my opinion, did not
prevail.
The Medicaid Redesign Team and the Mandate Relief Redesign Team final reports and
recommendations have recently been released and delivered to the Governor. One of the
most important recommendations from the counties’ perspective is found on page 9 of the
Medicaid Redesign Team Final Report, titled Medicaid Financing. It points out that in most of
7
BOARD OF LEGISLATORS SESSION MINUTES, JANUARY 3, 2012
the 50 states, Medicaid is financed almost exclusively with state and federal tax dollars. In
New York State, approximately 30 percent of the non-federal cost of Medicaid is paid through
local taxes. The report goes on to say that the existing fiscal structure is unsustainable for
several reasons:
1. Reliance on local property taxes to fund Medicaid has contributed to making New
York’s local tax burden the highest in the nation.
2. The new property tax cap imposes annual growth limits on revenue that is far below
the expected growth rate in Medicaid costs.
3. The State should develop and implement a plan for more sustainable Medicaid
financing that phases out reliance on local taxes.
At the 2012 Allegany County Budget Hearing, it was pointed out that while keeping our
property tax increase under the Tax Cap at $692,000, the mandated programs of Medicaid,
Safety Net, Child Welfare, Special Ed/Pre-K, Indigent Defense, and Probation alone
increased by over $1.6 million.
Let us, on the County level, hope that Governor Cuomo will compel the State Legislature to
address Mandate Relief and Medicaid Reform in 2012 as well as he did on enacting the Tax
Cap Legislation in 2011.
In 2011, a regional approach to Economic Development was initiated in New York with
millions of dollars in funding being directed into Allegany County for 2012 and over $100
million awarded to the Western New York Economic Development Region as a whole.
In 2012, we will continue to discuss efficiencies in local government and explore more ways
that services can be delivered in a more cost-effective manner. We will continue to be
proactive in working with the State, as well as our local municipalities, for the betterment of
Allegany County and our friends and neighbors.
Allegany County remains strong in many ways, and it is our duty to be good stewards of the
resources entrusted to us. I look forward to working with you in 2012.
Thank you.”

2012 ALLEGANY COUNTY LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
Comments made regarding Resolution No. 12-12 included the following:
Legislator Ungermann noted that this is one of 173 programs Allegany County administers;
and it’s also one of the 109 non-mandated programs. The appropriation is $211,000. Mr.
Ungermann pointed out that Cattaraugus County eliminated funding for Cooperative
Extension from their budget, and the program is administered jointly for Allegany and
Cattaraugus Counties. He realizes there are many who say the services are valuable, but
much of the information Cooperative Extension provides is readily available on the internet.
They also employ people who administer some of our other programs, but those programs
may be non-mandated as well. We need to start making some cuts in the Budget.
Legislator Pullen stated that he understands and agrees with much of what Mr. Ungermann
said. What happened in Cattaraugus County was that they were looking at a very large
deficit, and they made a decision that he feels was ill-advised. They did include funding for
the 4-H Program, so they didn’t just pull the plug on everything. Some of the other programs
in Home Economics will continue because of state and federal grant money coming in. What
they ended up cutting was agriculture. The services and advice that they give to a significant
segment of our business population – one of the largest employers and one of the largest
revenue generators within our County – that’s what they ended up cutting. That’s something
we’ll have to look at in the coming years, which is one of the things that is so ill-advised about
the Tax Cap in general. As has been noted frequently, simply capping taxes isn’t the answer;
we need to cut them. They’re too high. When 90 percent of our Budget goes to programs
over which we have no control, it leaves the non-mandated programs such as this, the Fair,
Office for the Aging, and maintenance of our roads. Is this really the area that we need to
cut? For a relatively modest investment, we’re supporting what is basically our largest single
industry, which has a ripple effect in keeping people employed and paying taxes and making
business transactions within our community. Mr. Pullen remarked that he cannot support
cutting this program at this time, and he urged others to continue their support until such time
as we have to make those hard choices, but hopefully we’ll make those choices in a prudent
and fiscally responsible manner after having thought our way through it.
Legislator Sinclair commented that when we bring up the idea of non-mandated programs
and saying maybe we should be cutting them, we have to look at all the facets of those
programs, not only in cost, but also their benefit to the community. As an example, seven of
the thirteen positions that are sponsored under Cornell Cooperative Extension are dedicated
to one of our nutrition programs: Women, Infants, and Children (WIC). There is a
commitment and investment in those positions, but by having that program, we bring over $1
million in aid to these recipients into the County that is then spent in local businesses. When
you’re looking at just cutting, you have to consider that you might also be undermining
revenues and programs that are part of the overall economic engines that keep our economy
going. Mr. Sinclair stated that he supports Cornell Cooperative Extension. They have a
tremendous impact on our agricultural community. In the future, small farms and small
markets that are being developed for agricultural products are going to be very important to
the economic security and the use of our land here in the County. It’s a good investment.
Legislator Cady asked if there were other grants besides the one Mr. Sinclair mentioned. Mr.
Sinclair noted that there are other positions in other programs and other departments that
Cornell Cooperative Extension is involved in.
Legislator O’Grady pointed out that the economic engine referred to by Mr. Sinclair is still all
done with tax dollars, whether federal or local. To use tax dollars as an economic engine
isn’t an economic engine; it’s just tax dollars being deferred to other places.

condition, up to a maximum amount of $10,319, is approved.
2.

Comments made regarding Resolution No. 13-12 included the following: In response to a
question, Probation Director Robert Starks noted that there are less than 20 of the Ignition
Interlock Devices installed in the County.
AUDITS:
A motion was made by Legislator Hopkins, seconded by Legislator Fanton and
carried, that the audits be acted upon collectively and by totals.
A motion was made by Legislator Hopkins, seconded by Legislator LaForge and
adopted on a roll call vote of 14 Ayes, 1 No, 0 Absent, that the audit of claims, totaling
$3,064,749.12, including prepaid expenses, be approved for payment as recommended by
the County Administrator (opposed: Ungermann). (Allegany County’s Local Dollar Share of
the NYS Medicaid Program paid in 2011 totaled $9,069,656, and year-to-date in 2012 is
$187,562.)
Legislator Hopkins pointed out that at the end of 2011, the County’s local share cost
for Medicaid totaled over $9 million, which represents 40 percent of our property taxes.
Legislator Ungermann referred to the expense for bus transportation included in the
audit, and he asked if that’s money we’re spending on something that’s supposed to be 100
percent state and federally funded. He noted that the bus transportation is also a nonmandated program. County Administrator John Margeson replied that the $8,646.21
constitutes two payments to the Allegany-Western Steuben Rural Health Network. One is a
payment from the JARC grant and the other is from the New Freedom grant, but both
payments are 100 percent grant funded.
16
2012 ALLEGANY COUNTY LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
GENERAL COMMENTS:
Legislator Pullen urged all Legislators to obtain and study two reports released over
the holidays, one outlines the final recommendations of the Medicaid Redesign Team, and
the other is the final report of the Mandate Relief Redesign Team. The mandate relief report
includes a summary of what the team accomplished and many pages of proposals made by
various state and local groups such as towns, villages, schools, and NYSAC, 90 percent of
which the team didn’t address. Mr. Pullen estimated that the team made recommendations
for only about $300 million in relief out of over $11 billion in local money that is mandated to
local governments. The job wasn’t completed and now it’s being sent to another task force.
The Medicaid Redesign Team made the recommendation that we can’t continue having
Medicaid funded significantly by local governments. We’re the only state in the country that
does that, and it’s not sustainable. We were promised when the state passed the Tax Cap
that mandate relief and Medicaid relief would follow. There is a lot more to do, and Mr. Pullen
urged Legislators to be informed and stay on top of this.
Legislator Ungermann distributed copies of an article on the burden of unwanted
emails and also commented on the volume of unnecessary regular mail received by the
Legislators. Discussion followed on who should be filtering it, and Chairman Crandall noted
that the Clerk of the Board was asked to have the Legislators’ names removed from a
particular mailing list.
Legislator Cady remarked on another aspect of Medicaid. He noted that it’s common
knowledge that high medical rates in the state are based on what doctors and hospitals glean
from Medicaid. Other people can’t compete with that, and it raises the rates to have so much
government support for it.
ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 2:40 p.m. on a motion made by Legislator
Fanton, seconded by Legislator O’Grady and carried.
-------REGULAR SESSION – JANUARY 23, 2012
CALL TO ORDER: The regular meeting of the Board of Legislators was called to order at

BOARD OF LEGISLATORS SESSION MINUTES, JANUARY 23, 2012
The Board meeting minutes of January 9, 2012, were approved on a motion made by
Legislator Hopkins, seconded by Legislator Curran and carried.
PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR:
Chairman Crandall presented a certificate to Howard L. Cornwall, former United States
Navy Petty Officer First Class, in grateful appreciation of his service to our country. Mr.
Cornwall’s service dates were from September 1958 to January 2001 (including Naval
Reserves and Army Reserves). Following Basic Training at Great Lakes, IL, assignments
included: USS Essex and USS Saratoga. He was deployed twice to the Mediterranean.
Commendations he received included: several Naval Reserve Meritorious Service Medals,
Good Conduct Medals, Expert Pistol and Rifle Awards, and numerous Letters of
Commendation and Achievement. Mr. Cornwall led the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag at
the beginning of the meeting as part of the Veterans’ Honorary Pledge of Allegiance
Program.
CROSSROADS DEVELOPMENT PROJECT PRESENTATION:
Chairman Curtis W. Crandall provided some background information for Resolution
Intro. No. 14-12 related to the Crossroads Development Project. This resolution was referred
from a meeting on January 11 in which all fifteen Legislators individually signed on as
sponsors. The resolution will allow for a waterline to be developed from Friendship to the
Crossroads Area at the intersection of State Route 19, County Road 20, and Interstate 86.
The Crossroads Area has been talked about for some time. Going back to the 1970s
when State Route 17, the Southern Tier Expressway, opened, there’s been talk of
development opportunities in that area, and nothing up to this point has happened. There
were a lot of components that needed to be addressed. One of the circumstances that
helped was related to the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Siting Commission’s designation of
Allegany and Cortland Counties as potential dump sites. At the time, funds amounting to
$625,000 were set aside for these counties for legal and other costs. Allegany County used
very little of their money.
Through the 1990s, there was still talk of development opportunities at the
Crossroads, but no firm action was taken. In the 2000s, former Senator Patricia McGee was
approached to sponsor legislation to free up roughly $500,000 of the funds related to the
Siting Commission issue to be used for development in Allegany County. The economic
development project had to be specific, and the Crossroads Area was designated. In 2004,
former Board Chairman James Palmer appointed a Crossroads Development Advisory
Committee to move things forward to be able to utilize the funds that had been freed up.
What has been done between then and now was: a marketing analysis of the
Crossroads Area was done by Carr Marketing Communications; a municipal agreement was
negotiated with the Town of Friendship and legislation was approved; preliminary waterline
engineering was done, including cost estimates; financial analysis was done for the feasibility
of a waterline project; legal documents were prepared with the help of the County Attorney
and outside attorneys hired by the Industrial Development Agency; and the political will of this
Board to move forward with the project was expressed.
Three important parts of the project that were needed were: 1) Financial feasibility – Is
it a good investment in the future of Allegany County? The answer to that is yes. 2) Legal
aspects – Is it legally possible, and are the proper documents in place? The answer is yes.
3) Political – Does the majority of this Board support moving ahead? Fifteen Legislators have
individually sponsored the resolution that will be voted on shortly, and we’ll see if that political
will moves this legislation forward.

2012 ALLEGANY COUNTY LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
Chairman Crandall commented that it has taken a lot of help, inside and outside of the
County, to make this happen.
He recognized a few members of the Crossroads
Development Team who have been instrumental in putting this together: County Treasurer
Terri Ross, County Administrator John Margeson, County Attorney Tom Miner, IDA Board
Chairman Chuck Jessup, IDA Executive Director and Director of Development John Foels,
IDA Legal Counsel from Hodgson Russ, LLP, Dan Spitzer, County Financial Adviser from
Municipal Solutions Jeff Smith, and LaBella Associates Engineer Mike Schaffron. Chairman
Crandall turned the privilege of the floor over to Dan Spitzer.
Dan Spitzer spoke about the details of the Crossroads Project. Research shows that
this area was known as the Crossroads as far back as the 1880s when there was a
crossroads of three railroads, one of which is still there. It’s always been an area that was
the center of commerce. In 2004, John Foels was able to obtain a grant from Rochester Gas
and Electric to have a study done to determine what would be the best fit for development,
given the transportation resources, to create a viable, affordable, fiscally responsible
investment. The Carr Communications study identified the travel and hospitality services
industry as the most likely to produce the type of sales tax revenue and job growth the IDA
was looking for at this site.
The IDA began looking for potential developers and working with local land owners
and appraisers. It’s been a careful, steady process. They were able to put together the initial
engineering and environmental investigation through the use of the funds referred to earlier.
The IDA took lead agency status for the environmental assessment, and for the specific
project mentioned in the resolution, the IDA has adopted a negative declaration of
environmental significance. The route of the proposed waterline is virtually all within County
Road 20, so there’s very little environmental impact from the actual construction.
After looking at many developers, the IDA settled on an EB5 developer from
Rochester. The developer has signed purchase documents for the Truck Stop parcel. That’s
a private contract and is not part of this resolution. What is being considered today by the
Legislature is the legal framework necessary to bring all of this about – to bring development
in the form of a hotel and related services to the Crossroads Area. In addition to the
developer, the IDA met last week with Congress Construction out of Boston. They are very
experienced and have been in contact with Mike Schaffron from LaBella Associates, going
over the specifics for the waterline.
Mr. Spitzer explained what the IDA is looking at in this project. Originally they were
looking at both water and sewer lines; sewer was dropped, because they didn’t believe it was
economically viable at this point. The resolution in front of the Board today will authorize the
County to enter into a bond purchase agreement with the IDA. The IDA will issue a 30-year
bond, with capitalized interest for the first few years to allow the project to get up and running.
It is a taxable bond issued at approximately two percent interest. Mr. Spitzer pointed out that
the way the bond works is very important, because this is not an “if you build it, they will
come” project. The risk is a planning cost risk. The IDA has put together a comprehensive
package of a number of users including the developers, the State of New York at the rest
stop on I-86, and local residences in a mobile home park in need of higher quality water, and
a contract is already in place between the County and the Town of Friendship for the
provision of water service. The County will disperse funds as needed, but construction will
not go forward until the County is satisfied that there is a financially viable project in place.
The second aspect of this project is the acquisition from the County by lease of the “S
curve” properties on County Road 20 that were originally acquired by the County through tax
sale. The proposal is to lease those properties to the IDA to allow them to bring in
developers for industrial type uses. They’ve looked at a number of uses, and they’ll want to
19
BOARD OF LEGISLATORS SESSION MINUTES, JANUARY 23, 2012
make sure it’s compatible with the hospitality industry. The lease will be very pro-County,
with the majority of profits going to the County. The IDA will be required to develop it in a
way that will generate property and sales tax revenue and jobs. It’s set up as a financing
lease, so that whoever the IDA sub-leases to can borrow money; however, any mortgage
would not be on the County’s property, only the improvements.
The third aspect of the project is necessary for the construction of the waterline to
serve the Crossroads Area. It’s an easement along County Road 20. It’s a broad easement
covering not only the waterline, but also a future possible sewer line. The IDA has been in
touch with the railroad and other property owners along the way regarding placement of the
waterline, and the actual placement will be decided between LaBella and the County Public
Works Superintendent. It appears they will not need a water tank at this time, but they have
identified lands to be used if necessary for that.
The IDA will also be acquiring property adjoining the Truck Stop, bringing the total
area for development up to about 28 acres in that first phase. The first phase for the IDA will
be to determine if they have sufficient revenues to pay what they borrow from the County.
In terms of the actual borrowing, it is the IDA’s intent to keep it to a minimum. Already
through the efforts of County staff and IDA staff, they have a $150,000 grant lined up with
help from Southern Tier West and Arc through the Appalachian Regional Council. There are
other grants pending. The IDA is hopeful that the Regional Economic Council, which
identified Western New York as one of its primary plan winners, will help bring in other
revenues to reduce the cost.
Jeff Smith, the County’s Financial Advisor, expanded on the financial details of the
project. It’s been a long road to get here, and the efforts of the Legislature and the County
Treasurer’s good fiscal management have made this a reality. The County is now in the
financial position to be able to extend the loan necessary to jump-start this project. The
timing is excellent based on the interest rates in the market and the very competitive bidding
environment. What they’ve been able to develop is a financing package where the County
will be making an investment. Rather than investing in CDs or savings accounts, which are
about the only avenues available to the County and right now are paying an interest rate of .3
to .375 percent, the County will be investing this money at an interest rate of about 2 percent.
Their goal with this financing plan is to have the project up and running within a 24-month
timeframe and to be able to take the financing out down the road after we have a successfully
completed project that shows the financial ability to carry the debt associated with it. As the
project progresses, the IDA will make sure they abide by the Davis Bacon wage rates, state
prevailing wage rates, and all of the environmental requirements so that they are able to
place the completed project with the Environmental Facilities Corporation for a 30-year loan
from that agency, using their triple-A bond rating, to secure the long-term financing. The loan
terms are potentially a 35-year period, but the goal is to have the County graduate the loan
into other financing within the first four years. The proposal has been structured in a
conservative manner. The only at-risk component is the design, but after the design phase,
when the actual project is ready to go, money will be able to be drawn only as needed and
only as progress is actually being made. There are a lot of fail-safes that have been
developed in the bond purchase agreement. Mr. Smith will be watching this very closely,
along with the County Treasurer, and they will make sure that the units are there to be able to
repay the debt before they proceed.
IDA Executive Director John Foels gave an overview of the “three Ps” of the project:
property, project, and pipe. The initial pipe needed is water. You also have to have the
property under control and a viable project. The IDA was able to facilitate acquisition of the
property over the past three months, although it’s taken much longer when considering the
20
2012 ALLEGANY COUNTY LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
discussions with landowners and the Truck Stop property bankruptcy and foreclosure
proceedings.
Allegany Square, LLC, out of Rochester, is under a firm purchase agreement for the
11-acre Truck Stop parcel, which is now owned by Thunder Road, LLC. They expect to close
on that after they do their due diligence, which is now underway. The second parcel is
behind the Truck Stop. The IDA will be purchasing 18.5 acres currently owned by the
VanDyke family to back up the investment being made on the Truck Stop. This total of a little
over 28 acres will be the starting point. The reason for beginning with the northwest quadrant
of SR19 and CR20 is that they have to develop the abandoned travel facility first, because no
one will be attracted to either side unless that problem is rectified. The developer is
interested in attacking that, and he understands the issues inherent with old truck stops.
Their initial game plan is travel-related services: fuel, convenience, complementary
retail, hospitality, and lodging. The site plans are being developed, and engineering is
underway in Rochester and Boston. When the developer is ready to build, the IDA will do
their part also. The County Treasurer will be the dispersing officer on this, and she and Jeff
Smith will make sure the IDA has taken care of their responsibilities prior to coming to the
County for payment. The IDA sees this as a good first step. They’re very comfortable with
the developers and their development partners. Mr. Foels expressed his appreciation for the
Board’s consideration of the bond purchase proposal, noting he wished there was another
way. It’s good that the County is in a position, where we weren’t five years ago, to be able to
take this on.

Comments made regarding Resolution No. 14-12 included the following:
Legislator Hopkins pointed out that the County’s biggest method of financing our programs is
property tax, and until we can increase our sales tax and other revenues, there’s no way to
decrease property tax. This proposal will give us the opportunity to increase sales tax to the
point where we can start seeing some decrease in property taxes. If you look at other
counties that have higher sales tax revenues, their property taxes are lower, because that’s
how they finance their government. This is a great opportunity for us, especially since a lot of
the sales tax revenue will come from out-of-County travelers. The creation of jobs, sales tax,
and what this will do for us financially in the future is extremely important.
Legislator Healy remarked that in the history of civilization, all development has taken place
along major transportation corridors. The intersection of I-86 and State Route 19 in Belvidere
is the best intersection between Painted Post and Erie, Pennsylvania. It has the most flat
land that has potential for development. The only drawback we’ve had is the lack of water.
With this resolution, we’ve reached a crossroads of our destiny in the County – we need to
decide whether to live in the past, or invest in the future. We have chosen, or are about to
choose, to invest in the future. This resolution is a true County project for the reasons that
Legislator Hopkins just expressed: 1) immediate development which is likely to occur in the
23
BOARD OF LEGISLATORS SESSION MINUTES, JANUARY 23, 2012
area, 2) generation of sales tax, the majority of which will be paid by passing motorists on I86 and not by our local residents, 3) building the infrastructure will add to our tax base, 4)
creation of jobs, and 5) it will foster further development, both locally in the area and also
County-wide. For most people who come here, this area is the first thing they see when they
enter the County. Mr. Healy commended the Board and the leadership of the Board for
putting us in a position to be able to take advantage of this.
Legislator Cady noted that Route 275 through Friendship was thought to be the first paved
road in the County, and the potential for development in this broad valley is still there. Mr.
Cady supports whatever we can do to get this going. He asked about the sales tax revenue
from the Truck Stop when it was in operation. County Administrator John Margeson thought
it was about $1.5 million.
Legislator Ungermann referred to a letter regarding this issue that was received by all of the
Legislators from Al Carlin of Wellsville, who was also in attendance, and he hoped Mr.
Carlin’s questions had been answered. The estimate for this project is now at $3.5 million
simply because we are only going to run the waterline at this point. The resolution does allow
for sewer eventually, as development advances, which is something Mr. Ungermann was
concerned about. Mr. Carlin also questioned why we can’t use the former Acme building in
Cuba. That’s something Mr. Ungermann stated that he would like to see; however, there’s no
rail service there, and it’s the same way with the Wellsville airport. The County owns a piece
of property in the proposed location obtained through a tax sale, and the railroad runs right by
it, making it easy to put a siding in. As Mr. Healy addressed, we really do have one of the
best locations, because it is flat. Nothing is without risk, but Mr. Spitzer has said that we
won’t be spending any money until we have a signed agreement of some sort to utilize those
services. Mr. Sinclair has alluded to the fact that the rest stop on I-86 is looking for water, so
we would have a user there, along with one of the trailer parks. Mr. Ungermann felt confident
that between the County Treasurer, County Attorney, the IDA, and this Board, no funds will
be expended until development is in place. Mr. Ungermann expressed his support.
Legislator Sinclair stated that this resolution brings into focus not only the vision of the past
and present Legislature, but also that of many members of the community and the taxpayers
who see this investment as one of our best opportunities to create jobs, raise sales tax
revenue, increase availability of hospitality services, and support small business
development. With this action, we further attain the goals of increasing revenues in support
of our government operations and the County as a whole and reducing the tax burden. Not
only are all of these dollars to be returned to the County treasury over time, the purchase of
these bonds in support of this project takes our reserve funds from a position of earning less
than one percent interest to quadrupling that to two percent. All these reasons make this a
very good prospect.
Legislator Pullen remarked that this is a very conservative area, and this is also a very
conservative Board. He is a firm believer in free enterprise. As Mr. Pullen understands the
structure and model that we’re following, we will be relying on private enterprise and private
investment. This model indicates that until we have a commitment from private developers
that they think it’s worth the investment of their money, and they’re going to put their money
down and make an investment to bring new business and new activity to our County, only
then will our dollars, taxpayer dollars, be released. If they decide it’s not going to work, the
taxpayers’ dollars won’t have been put at risk. We do have to put in the soft costs – the
engineering, the legal, the financial consultant costs – to at least make it possible, but overall
this will only work if private enterprise says that this is viable. That’s really the guarantee. If
those who have the experience, the training, and the resources decide that they’ll put those
resources into play, then he’s comfortable putting in those local taxpayer dollars. Mr. Pullen
felt that the facts presented support moving forward.

Comments made regarding Resolution No. 15-12 included the following:
Legislator Ungermann noted that the new committee has been given some power to do
something about the parking problem. He felt that the parking problem should have been
taken care of before we ever built the addition. There’s been discussion about getting some
parking space back by using the church lot and the former Presutti property, but there are
some people who have problems with walking up that hill. You’re never going to replace the
flat parking area we had with something at the bottom of the hill. Ice is a problem in the
winter, and there’s a sidewalk on only one side of the street. Some people walk up the
middle of the street. Mr. Ungermann stated that he was against building the addition out
back when there was 90,000 square feet of space given away and 200 parking spaces on the
flat. This just takes away the responsibility for parking from the committee that should have
done something about it and passes it on to someone else.
Chairman Crandall agreed that there are parking issues that need to be addressed, but in a
recent committee meeting, the number of parking spaces that we currently have, including
those at the foot of the hill, were compared to those that we started the project with. He
stated that he understood Mr. Ungermann’s concern with the hill, but we have more parking
spaces today than when this project began. The parking issue that needs to be addressed at
this time is who parks where and how those parking spaces are utilized. That is going to be
looked at in this new committee, nothing different than what has been in place before. It was
also explained in Ways and Means that there is a local law that places the delegation of
County parking to Public Works. This committee will work in conjunction with Public Works to
address that issue.
Legislator Fanton remarked that for most places of employment, you do have to walk a
distance to get there. We have handicapped areas, and if we need a couple more, that can
be done. Mr. Fanton didn’t feel it was asking too much of anyone to walk that far.
Legislator Sinclair noted that obviously we still have facilities and parking issues, but we also
have needs in communications. He has monitored the work of our Communications Ad Hoc
Committee and has taken part in development of some perspectives concerning where we
were regarding communications. There is a federal push for us to develop the next
generation of 911 system, which is to be merged with our private communications capability
to facilitate all users and all equipment to be able to plug into that. There are critical things
that need to be done to bring us fully into the next generation of communications here in the
County. That is a part of our Comprehensive Plan, and it will also further development in the
County. Having a committee specifically addressing communications is very important.

Richardson & Stout Insurance Company of Wellsville, New York, to the County of Allegany
for the period February 1, 2012, to February 1, 2013, is approved.

That the premium of $235,196.80 plus any additional premium amounts
resulting from the addition or inclusion of vehicles, equipment, and other property to the
policies is charged to Account No. A1910.406 of the 2012 County Final Budget in which the
funds are proportionately provided to cover the whole of such premium.

(Memo: Regarding Resolution No. 16-12, it was noted that the premium does not include
property premium for the new Courthouse Addition and Maintenance Building. These
structures are currently insured on a Builders Risk policy, which was paid in full two years

should result in higher quality, consistent minutes prepared in a timely manner for all
committees, and it will free up key personnel to work on other things. The approximate fiscal
impact is $14,144, and the funds are included in the 2012 Budget.)

Comments made regarding Resolution No. 18-12 included the following:
Legislator Pullen pointed out that this program is not mandated by New York State, but
should be mandated by common sense. If the two percent tax cap continues and we don’t
find other funding streams, we’re going to have to start eliminating some of the things we do.
We need to maintain our infrastructure, but we need to understand that as the mandates
continue and increase and the tax cap limits our options, we’ll be faced with hard choices.
He just hopes we can find a way to avoid having to say no to projects like this in the future.

37
BOARD OF LEGISLATORS SESSION MINUTES, JANUARY 23, 2012
Public Health Director Loreen Ballengee responded that she believes the lead program is
mandated by the New York State Department of Health. There might be only a couple of
cases per year with elevated lead levels, but the Health Department also does a lot with lead
prevention. Children are legally required to be tested at ages one and two, and the Health
Department assists the doctors and also does the testing themselves as a Public Health
service. We have the certified staff and the machine to run the tests. This $3,000 from
Cattaraugus County helps offset the costs of the certification and the machine that we’re
required to have anyway. Cattaraugus County contracts with Allegany County for the eastern
part of their county, and with Chautauqua County for the western part.

PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR:
Chairman Crandall presented a certificate to Larry Barnes, former United States Navy
Petty Officer Third Class, in grateful appreciation of his service to our country. Mr. Barnes’
service dates were from July 1961 to July 1965. Following Basic Training at Great Lakes
Naval Base, IL, he was assigned to the USS Taussig. Awards he received included:
National Defense Service Medal, Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, and several letters of
commendation. Mr. Barnes led the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag at the beginning of the
meeting as part of the Veterans’ Honorary Pledge of Allegiance Program.
Chairman Crandall granted privilege of the floor to the following:
BOCES County Government Intern Instructor John Malachowsky introduced this
year’s Interns. Due to transportation problems, some Interns were unable to stay for the
Board meeting, but a complete roster of the 24 participating students includes: Andover:
Colby Allen, Joe Bryan, Ryan Dougherty, Mitchell Gavin, Emily Goldsmith, William Walker,
and Zachary Work; Belfast: Dan Cooper; Bolivar-Richburg: Halley Kottwitz; CubaRushford: Grace Armison, Casey Cappelletti, Austin Fowler, Steven Higley, Angela
McCutcheon, Danielle Morgan, Kelsey Schwenderman, Alan Sweet, Damian Weierheiser,
and Breanna Winicki; Wellsville: Kelsey Denhoff, Kara Slep, Chloe Smith, Josh Winans, and
Tabitha Wisotzke.
Belfast Central School Business Official Robert Lingenfelter, accompanied by Belfast
Central School Superintendent Judy May and Fillmore Central School Business Official
Thomas Ricketts, gave a presentation on how the state economic picture is affecting County
schools and how state aid is currently distributed inequitably (handouts attached to original
minutes). For this current school year, a seven percent cut in state aid was proposed for all
schools statewide. While that seems, on the surface, to be equitable, the wealthier school
districts take a much smaller hit. If the majority of their money comes from their taxpayers,
then a seven percent cut in state aid is very small in proportion to our rural districts that have
a much higher state aid percentage. A seven percent reduction in aid for a rural school has a
much greater impact because we have much more state aid.
If there is no increase, or a very minimal increase, in state aid and with the two percent
tax cap in place, school districts will have three choices: 1) reduce expenditures, which
means cutting programs; 2) cut positions, which also will mean cutting programs; or 3) use
more fund balance. The problem is that schools have a four percent cap on their fund
balance. They don’t have unlimited access to fund balance to help them through these tough
years, and some schools have already used a lot, so they’re running low.
Public schools are a significant component in the economic engine of the region.
Reduced spending will mean fewer employees and negative growth. Our school system is a
critical piece in attracting economic development to the region.
BOCES did a comparison of Cattaraugus and Allegany County schools to similarlysized wealthier districts downstate to show how state aid cuts have impacted both types of
districts. Mr. Lingenfelter used Belfast as an example, and compared them to Remsenburg-
40
2012 ALLEGANY COUNTY LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
Speonk in Suffolk County, which has a similar student enrollment. Belfast’s wealth ratio is
0.3; R-S’s is 5.37. Wealth ratio is based on an average of 1, with ratios of lower than 1
signifying poorer districts, and ratios of higher than 1 signifying wealthier districts. The Gap
Elimination Adjustment for 2012-2013 shows Belfast losing $440,165 in state aid; R-S is
losing $112,439. They are a wealthier district and don’t rely a lot on state aid, so they had a
much smaller cut than Belfast did. The information also shows the amounts each district can
raise with a 1 percent tax levy increase: Belfast - $15,158, and R-S – $107,355. Even
though R-S has the same number of students, they rely more heavily on their taxpayers and
can raise much more money than Belfast can with a tax increase. If both schools were to try
to offset the loss from the Gap Elimination Adjustment, R-S would only have to raise their
taxes 1 percent, where Belfast would have to raise theirs 29 percent.
A summary of how the state aid changes have affected our schools this year was
compiled by BOCES. The net impact for 2012-13: Allegany-Cattaraugus school districts will
have a shortfall of over $13.8 million. The new tax cap legislation will only allow districts to
raise taxes by $1.8 million. As a result, Allegany-Cattaraugus schools will have to cut an
estimated $12 million from their budgets for the 2012-13 school year. Program cuts would
include non-mandated items such as: Kindergarten, athletics, co-curricular activities, AP
courses, enrichment courses, elementary art, music, language programs, after school
programs, and summer school. Additional information is available on the Internet at
www.statewideonline.org. This website was set up by the Statewide School Finance
Consortium, a group that is advocating for more equitable distribution of state aid so that the
rural schools aren’t hit so hard.
Mr. Lingenfelter requested that the Board of Legislators consider the following: For the
short term, there is money set aside for Efficiency Grants at the state level. Some Legislators
are pushing to have this money freed up for rural schools without requiring applications. If
these funds were released to the rural schools, it would make the state aid picture more
equitable. Long term, Mr. Lingenfelter’s group is requesting a resolution from the County
Legislature in support of a more equitable state aid split for our rural school districts,
because, “A student’s zip code should not dictate the quality of his education” (quote from
Richard Timbs, Statewide School Finance Consortium).

AUDITS:
A motion was made by Legislator Hopkins, seconded by Legislator Fanton and
carried, that the audits be acted upon collectively and by totals.
A motion was made by Legislator Hopkins, seconded by Legislator Pullen and adopted
on a roll call vote of 14 Ayes, 0 Noes, 1 Absent, that the audit of claims, totaling
$4,214,266.85, including prepaid expenses, be approved for payment as recommended by
the County Administrator. (Allegany County’s Local Dollar Share of the NYS Medicaid
Program paid year-to-date is $1,125,372.) Comments included the following:
Legislator Sinclair asked about the Snowmobile Grant, and County Administrator John
Margeson replied that it is pass-through funding from the state with no local contribution.
Legislator Burdick questioned expenditures under Health. County Treasurer Terri Ross
responded that $290,000 is attributed to BOCES for the Handicapped Children’s Program,
and the rest is regular expenses. Mr. Burdick pointed out that the Handicapped Children’s
expenses should fall under Education, not Health.
Legislator Pullen noted that the Governor’s Office proposed some mandate relief for counties
for Medicaid and other programs. There’s nothing included in the budget for relief for this
year, and next year it’s one percent of the increase, not picking up anything of the more than
$7 billion the counties have to pay statewide. Then, over the next several years, there will be
a slowing growth in what we have to pay, and theoretically in three years, the increases will
stop. Rather than mandate relief, they’re just slowing the rate of growth for us. So, it’s not
only the schools that are being hit with some of these changes, we continue to be hit, and the
relief we’ve been promised is all out in the future. Chairman Crandall commented that the
one percent proposed by the Governor for next year’s budget amounts to a little over $80,000
against the $10 million Medicaid expense Allegany County has budgeted for. It’s a very small
proportion.
ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 2:35 p.m. on a motion made by Legislator
Graves, seconded by Legislator O’Grady and carried.

RESOLUTIONS:
RESOLUTION NO. 42-12
A RESOLUTION APPROVING A FUND BALANCE POLICY FOR ALLEGANY COUNTY
TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH IN STATEMENT NO. 54 OF THE
GOVERNMENTAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD/FUND BALANCE REPORTING
Offered by: Ways and Means Committee
RESOLVED:
1.
That the Allegany County Board of Legislators approves a Fund Balance Policy
to meet the requirements set forth in Statement No. 54 of the Governmental Accounting
Standards Board/Fund Balance Reporting, as set forth below for the County:
GASB STATEMENT NO. 54
Subject: Reserve Funds
Reserve funds (which essentially are a legally authorized savings account for
particular specific purposes) are an important component in the County’s financial planning
for specific expenses, future projects, acquisitions and other lawful purposes. To this end,
the County may establish and maintain reserve funds in accordance with New York State
Laws. The County will also consider rules and/or opinions issued by the New York State
Comptroller when they are not in conflict with law.
County reserve funds must be properly established and maintained to promote the
goals of creating an open, transparent and accountable use of public funds. The County may
engage independent experts and professionals, including but not limited to auditors,
accountants and other financial and legal counsel, as necessary to monitor all reserve fund
activity and prepare reports that the County Legislature may require.
Government Fund Type Assignment (GASB 54)
The County shall comply with the reporting requirements of Article 3 of General
Municipal Law of the State of New York and the Governmental Accounting Standards Board
(GASB) Statement Number 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Types
Definitions. The Legislature authorizes the County Treasurer to complete the following
actions as necessary to comply with the requirements of GASB Statement No. 54:
54
2012 ALLEGANY COUNTY LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
A.
Restricted Fund Balances – restricted fund balances consist of amounts that
are subject to externally enforceable legal purpose restrictions imposed by creditors,
grantors, contributors, or laws and regulations of other governments; or through
constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
B.
Committed Fund Balances – committed fund balances consist of amounts that
are subject to a purpose constraint imposed by a formal action of the County
Legislature before the end of the fiscal year, and that require the same level of formal
action to remove the constraint.
C.
Assigned Fund Balances – assigned fund balances consist of amounts that are
subject to a purpose constraint that represents an intended use established by the
County’s highest level of decision-making authority, or by their designated body or
official. The Legislature authorized the County Treasurer to make a determination of
the assigned amounts of fund balance. Assigned funds represent amounts intended
to be used for a specific purpose. Assigned fund balances require same level of
authority to remove the constraint.
D.
Unassigned Fund Balances – unassigned fund balances consist of the residual
amount for the general fund (A) that has not been assigned to other funds and that
amount that is not restricted, committed or assigned to any specific purposes within
the general fund.
Funding Policy for Restricted or Committed and Assigned Fund Balances
The formal action of the County’s highest level of decision-making authority that
restricts, commits or assigns fund balance to a specific purpose should occur prior to the end
of the reporting period, but the amount, if any, which will be subject to the constraint, may be
determined in the subsequent period.
Spending Policy for Fund Balances
The County Legislature will assess the current financial condition of the County and
then determine the order of application of expenditures to which fund balance classification
will be charged.
Periodic Review and Annual Report
The County Legislature and management will periodically review all restricted,
committed and assigned fund balances. The County will prepare and submit an annual
report of all restricted, committed and assigned funds for the County Legislature, during the
budget process. The annual report shall include the following information for each reserve
fund.
A.
The type and description of the reserve fund
B.
The interest earned on each reserve fund
C.
Capital gains or losses resulting from the sale of investments of the reserve
funds
D.
The sum total increase and sum total decrease in the reserve funds
E.
The ending balance in the reserve funds at fiscal year end
F.
A summary statement of projected use and the need of the reserve funds
The Legislature shall utilize the information in the annual report to discuss reserve
fund balances and to adequately maintain necessary funds for the County’s long-term
financial planning. The Legislature will be mindful of its role and responsibility as a fiduciary of
public funds when acting on reserve fund issues.

13 Ayes, 0 Noes, 2 Absent
Comments made regarding Resolution No. 42-12 included the following:
Legislator Ungermann asked about the timeframe to provide the funds for this policy, if some
of these funds were for long-term retirement and health care for retirees, and whether we
have to have a reserve to cover that. County Treasurer Terri Ross responded that this policy
doesn’t address setting aside funds for certain things like retirement. It’s really just a change
in titles and categories according to the requirements of the GASB rules. Mr. Ungermann
questioned when the policy had to be fulfilled. Ms. Ross explained that it’s just ordinary
accounting practices to have a fund balance.
Legislator Sinclair questioned if the policy has provisions for the transfer of funds. Ms. Ross
replied that there are provisions for how to transfer, commit, or assign money. It’s all part of
the policy. The reason for considering this policy now is because the County has to be
compliant by the time we file our year-end report for 2011. Mr. Sinclair asked how we
guarantee our fund balance that protects our bond rating under this policy. Ms. Ross
explained that would be a different policy that the Board would pass. It’s not a part of this.
There’s no percentage maintained here.

WHEREAS, Steuben County, along U.S. Route 15 (Corridor U-1 I-99), Chemung
County and twelve other counties along the U.S. Route 17 (Corridor T I-86) corridor make up
the three Local Development Districts in the thirteen state Appalachian Regional
Commission, and
WHEREAS, U.S. Route 15 is the only north/south route in Central Pennsylvania that
serves as a vital and direct link between Western New York and Canada and the ports of
Baltimore and Philadelphia and the mid-Atlantic states, and
WHEREAS, Governor Pataki committed to a ten-to-twelve year construction program
to complete the Route 17 conversion to I-86 beginning with the first designation (177 miles
Chemung County West to Pennsylvania) on December 3, 1999, and
WHEREAS, completing the I-99 U-1 Corridor fulfills the desires of both the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the State of New York to accelerate economic
development opportunities in this area of Appalachia as well as respond to the increasing
traffic volumes (primarily commercial vehicles) in the Route 15 Corridor since the passage of
the North American Free Trade Agreement, and
WHEREAS, the New York State and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Departments of
Transportation are in the final stages of completing the conversion of Route 15 to Interstate
standards (I-99) to meet New York State I-86 (July 2014), and
WHEREAS, the designation of New York State Route 17 to I-86 and Route 15 to I-99
provides a highway network with connection to every Interstate Highway located within New

more competitive and able to attract substantial growth in business, industry, and tourism as
well as improve the safety of the traveling public, and
WHEREAS, the New York I-86 Economic Development Benefit Study, issued in
January 2000, which was widely accepted and quoted at all levels of government, called for

been completed, and
WHEREAS, with proper funding and resources for the remaining projects in Broome,
Delaware, Sullivan, and Orange Counties, the conversion of Route 17 to I-86 could be
completed many years sooner than on the present schedule, and it would provide the vast
economic benefits to the region foreseen by the Appalachian Regional Commission in its
study entitled “Economic Impact of Completing the Appalachian Development Highway
System,” which states in pertinent part that “Completion of the Appalachian Development
Highway System (ADHS) would yield significant economic benefits for both the Appalachian
Region and the nation … By facilitating national freight flows, reducing travel times, improving
safety, and enhancing access to markets, completion of the ADHS would create new jobs
and greater value added activity, returning $3 in economic benefits to the nation for every $1
spent to complete the system,” and
WHEREAS, the Three Rivers Development Foundation, utilizing funds from the
Appalachian Regional Commission, has developed an Economic Blueprint, which was
released in June 2009 for the I-86/I-99 Corridor in Southeast Steuben County utilizing
properties that have the potential for providing sustainable future economic development
opportunities, now, therefore, be it

BOARD OF LEGISLATORS SESSION MINUTES, MARCH 12, 2012
WHEREAS, the County has solicited proposals for the provision of legal
representation in Family Court and Criminal Courts to those who are financially unable to

13 Ayes, 0 Noes, 2 Absent
Comments made regarding Resolution No. 47-12 included the following:
Legislator Ungermann asked if the addition of the third Public Defender would result in less
need for this contract. County Administrator John Margeson felt that it probably wouldn’t. If
there is a conflict in the Public Defender’s Office with one attorney, it conflicts the entire
office.
Legislator Pullen remarked that indirectly, this is another state mandate. The state has set
the pay rate for assigned counsel, and that affects us directly in what we can pay and what
someone will accept for a contract such as this. He has seen more and more types of things
that have become rights. People have rights to all kinds of things, but they don’t have any
real responsibilities. We provide the Public Defender, we provide this panel, we provide
assigned counsel; there’s no end to the things the state expects us to provide, but they don’t
provide the funding.
AUDITS:
A motion was made by Legislator Pullen, seconded by Legislator O’Grady and carried,
that the audits be acted upon collectively and by totals.
A motion was made by Legislator Pullen, seconded by Legislator Graves, and adopted

APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
The Board meeting minutes of March 12, 2012, were approved on a motion made by
Legislator Graves, seconded by Legislator Curran and carried.
PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR:
Chairman Crandall presented a certificate to Lyle P. Edwards, former United States
Army Sergeant, in grateful appreciation of his service to our country. Mr. Edwards’ service
dates were from August 1948 to May 1952. Following Basic Training at Fort Bragg, NC,
assignments included: Aberdeen Proving Grounds, MD, Japan, and Korea. Commendations
he received included: Army Occupation Medal (Japan), Merit Unit Commendation Medal,
Korean Service Medal with 1 Silver Campaign Star, Republic of Korea Presidential Unit
Citation, and Good Conduct Medal. Mr. Edwards led the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag at
the beginning of the meeting as part of the Veterans’ Honorary Pledge of Allegiance
Program.
Chairman Crandall granted privilege of the floor to the following:
Alfred State College President Dr. John Anderson provided an update on the college.
Dr. Anderson noted that their efforts focus on project-based learning in the belief that it’s
more important to teach students how to think, rather than what to think. There are currently
two major thrusts: their civic engagement initiative and sustainability initiative (including their
Center for Organic and Sustainable Agriculture and Center for Renewable Energy). Dr.
Anderson highlighted their zero energy demonstration home on the School of Applied
Technology campus in Wellsville built by students as an open laboratory for green building
techniques in energy efficiency and renewable energy sources, their alternative fuels
laboratory where students have modified several alternative fuel vehicles and competed in
and won a fuel economy challenge, photovoltaic solar energy projects at the National
Arboretum, organic and sustainable agriculture and expanded dairy program, opportunities to
study abroad, and their new student leadership building with the theme of promoting student
leadership through civic engagement projects. Dr. Anderson stressed their quality, value,
and opportunity. Their placement and transfer rate is 99 percent, and 87 percent of students
seeking jobs get jobs in their field of study.
Creating Opportunities for Rural Education (CORE) Birth to Grade 5 Committee
Chairperson Anne Brungard and Literacy West NY Executive Director Lisa Lee addressed
the Board regarding Month of the Young Child. Clerk of the Board Brenda Rigby Riehle read
a Proclamation whereby Chairman Crandall is proclaiming April 2012 as the MONTH OF
THE YOUNG CHILD in Allegany County to encourage making an investment in early
61
BOARD OF LEGISLATORS SESSION MINUTES, MARCH 26, 2012
childhood by improving early learning opportunities. Lisa Lee remarked that CORE started in
2008, and they have been working to build educational opportunities and partnerships to help
expand those opportunities. This past year, they’ve made a shift to focus on career
pathways. Children need those exposures and experiences, and they’re here to support that.
Anne Brungard explained that the Birth to Grade 5 Committee is a group of professionals
from agencies, higher education, and volunteers who come together to determine how to
impact what happens in Allegany County relative to the young child. The way a young child
begins his life will determine what he does later. It is important to realize how critical a child’s
first years are. Ms. Brungard read a statement including comments from other committee
members about the importance of early learning experiences to prepare children for life.
Representatives from the following departments and agencies were present to answer
questions regarding their 2011 Annual Reports: Cooperative Extension, County Attorney,
County Clerk, Probation, and Public Works.
Legislator Ungermann addressed Terri Violet on the Cooperative Extension Annual
Report. The report states that in 2011, Cooperative Extension saved Allegany County
$197,333 in fringe benefit costs by hiring employees and contracting them out to the County.
Mr. Ungermann asked who pays the legacy costs once these employees retire. Chairman
Crandall responded that the County doesn’t pay those costs, because they are contract
employees. That’s one of the benefits we derive from that arrangement. Legislator Pullen
noted that Cornell University, as the sponsoring agency for Cooperative Extension, provides
for those costs out of their budget.
Legislator Sinclair commented that he was amazed at the depth of services and the
comprehensive number of programs that the Probation Department sponsors and runs
successfully to handle such a broad spectrum of probation issues. Mr. Starks provided a
great report.

BOARD OF LEGISLATORS SESSION MINUTES, MARCH 26, 2012
save the County money. Since 1998, the County has contracted out the legal representation
of the SCU, with the current budget allocating $70,000 for those services. With the recent
move of the SCU to the Courthouse, the County Attorney believes his office will be able to
represent the SCU at less cost to the County. The funding of $30,000 for the positions will be
transferred from the contractual services account to the personnel services account, leaving
a balance of $40,000 to be used when outside counsel may still be necessary. The surplus
remaining in this account at year-end, hopefully most of it, will be returned to the general
fund. The County Attorney’s office will bill Social Services for time spent in representing the
Child Support Unit at the rate of $75 per hour. Currently, 83 percent of that amount is
recouped by DSS from state and federal funds. Therefore, in addition to the reduction in the
budgeted cost of representing the Child Support Unit by using “in-house” attorneys, the
County should be able to recoup most, if not all, of the actual cost of such services.)
RESOLUTION NO. 49-12
URGING PASSAGE OF SENATE BILL S.5889-B AND ASSEMBLY BILL A.8644
THAT WOULD IMPLEMENT A MULTI-YEAR STATE TAKEOVER
OF THE LOCAL SHARE OF MEDICAID
Offered by: Ways and Means Committee
WHEREAS, State mandates are the number one barrier to providing property tax relief
to New Yorkers, and
WHEREAS, there are nine State mandates that consume more than 90 percent of the
county property tax levy statewide, and that amount grows when the many other State
mandates are included, and
WHEREAS, when State lawmakers enacted a property tax cap, they pledged to also
enact mandate relief that would enable and empower local leaders to implement that tax cap,
but that mandate relief has not materialized, and
WHEREAS, at a local state-wide cost of $7.3 billion, Medicaid is the number one
mandate facing counties, and
WHEREAS, Allegany County property taxpayers will pay approximately $10.3 million
in State Medicaid costs in 2012, and
WHEREAS, if a State takeover of Medicaid is enacted, County property taxes could be
reduced by over 36 percent, and
WHEREAS, Senate Bill S.5889-B and Assembly Bill A.8644 would require State
legislators to take full fiscal responsibility for New York's largest-in-the-nation Medicaid
program, by implementing an eight-year (8) gradual takeover of county Medicaid costs, and
WHEREAS, State lawmakers can fund the takeover with a combination of Medicaid
program reforms, state-derived savings, and other spending controls, including applying the
State's Medicaid Redesign Team reform savings to mandate relief and pursuing a Federal
Medicaid waiver to leverage State cost-containment initiatives that can be applied to obtain
property tax relief; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED
1.
That the Allegany County Board of Legislators hereby calls on State lawmakers
to keep their promise, by enacting Senate Bill S.5889-B and Assembly Bill A.8644 into law to
64

provide property tax relief for citizens of New York State, in the form of an eight-year State
takeover of county Medicaid costs.

2011 UNEXPENDED FUNDS TO COMPLETE PAYMENTS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION
AND PURCHASE OF A COMMUNICATIONS TOWER ON PINGREY HILL ROAD IN THE
TOWN OF ANDOVER) was TABLED following a motion made by Legislator Sinclair,
seconded by Legislator Cady, and carried. The funds were originally appropriated by Res.
No. 74-11 to pay for the referenced tower being built by SAIA Communications, and the
balance of $116,800 remaining at the end of 2011 needed to be reappropriated to complete
payments. Legislator Sinclair noted that the Pingrey Hill Tower is one of the towers needed
to improve the function of our 911 system. It was sited in a position to give good coverage to
the eastern side of the County, and in initial testing, it is doing that; however, there are some
unresolved questions about the transmission of signals down into the deep valley and the fire
and police departments in Alfred. There is a need to either re-tune the antennae or to make
additional adjustments so that signal is clear. He made the motion to table this resolution and
withhold the final payment on the tower installation until these issues are resolved.

Comments made regarding Resolution No. 56-12 included the following:
Legislator Healy noted that when the resolution was tabled, there were questions concerning
the new County radio system and the tower at Pingrey Hill in Andover. At that time, this
Board felt it would be financially responsible to withhold final payment on the tower until the
questions were answered related to the radio system and the problem in the Alfred area. Mr.
Saia appeared before the Public Safety Committee on April 4 and explained satisfactorily
how the problems were being worked out. The issues with the Alfred Police Department
have been taken care of, and the problems with the Fire Service are expected to be worked
out within 30-60 days. Mr. Healy stated that in light of these developments, we’re
contractually responsible to make that final payment on the Pingrey Hill Tower.
Legislator Sinclair remarked that he has been to the tower and has spoken with the
technicians about the modifications they were making to provide better penetration down into
the valley. That tower is performing all of the other expected outreach into Whitesville and
the surrounding area and is doing the job it was intended to do. The small pieces of
equipment and fine-tuning of the system are being done at no additional cost to the County
and will address the problems in the Alfred area.
RESOLUTION INTRO. NO. 58-12 (INCREASE IN SALARY OF FULL-TIME
DISTRICT ATTORNEY DUE TO STATE MANDATE) was DEFEATED on a roll call vote of 4
Ayes, 9 Noes, 2 Absent. Voting No: Burdick, Cady, Curran, Fanton, Graves, Hopkins,
Pullen, Sinclair, Ungermann. Comments made relative to the proposed resolution included:
Legislator Pullen voiced his opposition, stating that it’s one thing to have the State mandate
certain things on us; it’s another thing for them to tell us how to think. Many years ago, the
State passed a law that said whatever County or State Judges are paid, the District Attorney
must be paid a similar salary. At that time, the State provided the additional funds to pay that
salary. There’s no question that it’s been a long time since Judges’ salaries have been
increased, and that means that the DA’s salary has not been increased. Mr. Pullen stated
that he has nothing against our current District Attorney. However, the State has said that
70
2012 ALLEGANY COUNTY LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
since the Judges’ salaries have been raised, we must now raise our DA’s salary. This year,
the State is appropriating funds to cover that, but in future years, they will only cover 41
percent of the increase. We will have to cover the difference. The District Attorney is a
County Officer, established under the County Law. Salaries for most similar positions are set
by this Board. The State is usurping what it has said it will do in the State Constitution, the
statute of local governments, Municipal Home Rule Law, and the County Law. They’re doing
it by passing a law under the Judiciary Law. It was one thing for them to do it when they
provided the funding. Today, we don’t have enough for operating the programs that we have
historically provided, and we’re going to be facing cuts in programs under Highways, Health
Department, Office for the Aging, and others because of the tax cap. Now they’re telling us
that they can set a salary, and we must pass a law that pays it. If the State wants to change
someone’s salary, the State should pay for it. For any other office in this type of category, if a
change is made in salary during their term, we have to pass a local law, and during that
process, the voters in the County have the right to request a referendum. The State agencies
that are responsible for this, without explanation, are saying we don’t have that choice. We
should have that choice because it’s the voters who have to pay. We have to draw a line.
Legislator Healy explained his support of the resolution, stating that although it’s not popular,
and he had misgivings himself, it is the current law. It would be the popular sentiment for the
taxpayers to vote no on this, but the record has proven itself the last time this was done,
about 20 years ago, and that was the last time that position received a raise, the County lost
that lawsuit. Mr. Healy doesn’t wish the County to have to spend money defending a lawsuit
that it doesn’t look like they’re going to win, and he doesn’t wish to put the District Attorney in
a position where he has to take the County to court to remedy the situation.
Legislator Fanton remarked that it’s not a reflection on District Attorney Slep; it’s the
percentage that the State’s not paying. If they want to mandate it, then they should pay for it,
just like they have in the past.
Chairman Crandall pointed out that normally, he doesn’t enter into debate on issues without
stepping down from his position as Chairman, but he noted that he would be supporting this.
The reason is due to the oath of office taken by all of the Legislators. As distasteful as some
of the mandates coming from Albany and the federal government are, Chairman Crandall
feels that it falls within that oath of office to follow the law that’s put before us. He
appreciates anyone that takes a different position, but this is why he is supporting it.

AUDITS:
A motion was made by Legislator Hopkins, seconded by Legislator Pullen and carried,
that the audits be acted upon collectively and by totals.
A motion was made by Legislator Hopkins, seconded by Legislator Fanton and
adopted on a roll call vote of 12 Ayes, 1 No, 2 Absent, that the audit of claims, totaling
$3,440,853.15, including prepaid expenses, be approved for payment as recommended by
the County Administrator (opposed: Ungermann). (Allegany County’s Local Dollar Share of
the NYS Medicaid Program paid year-to-date is $2,625,868.) Comments made regarding the
audit included:
Legislator Ungermann commented that he’s been voting against state mandates for a long
time, especially regarding the Courthouse renovations. He didn’t vote for the Courthouse,
and he won’t vote to pay for it.
Legislator Hopkins questioned the process for returning the payment for the Pingrey Hill
Tower that was taken out of the last audit, and County Administrator John Margeson
explained that it would be taken care of in the next audit.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
Legislator Pullen encouraged Legislators’ attendance at the Senior Forum to be held
on April 12 at Genesee Valley School beginning at 9 a.m. This is a good opportunity for
residents of the County to ask questions of their Legislators.
Legislator Ungermann spoke about an article in the Olean Times Herald, and he
expressed concern about the disrepair of the section of Interstate 86 that goes through the
Seneca Nation. This affects commerce in all of Western New York, and perhaps our state
and federal representatives should be contacted to do something about that section.
Chairman Crandall agreed and noted that recently, this Board approved a resolution in
support for the I-86 Coalition’s efforts regarding a portion of the highway in the southern part
of the state. During his discussion with Ted Bennett, Chairman of that Coalition, some of the
needs on this end of the state were brought up, and they were supportive. Chairman
Crandall also mentioned a recent press release that dealt with some funding that was
earmarked for road rehabilitation within the Southern Tier, and he thinks this section was part
of it. If not, it needs to be.
ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 2:58 p.m. on a motion made by Legislator
Graves, seconded by Legislator O’Grady and carried.

Chairman Crandall presented a certificate to Charles D. White, former United States
Marine Corps Staff Sergeant, in grateful appreciation of his service to our country. Mr.
White’s service dates were from October 1948 to August 1952. Following Basic Training at
Parris Island, assignments included: Porcupine Area, Labrador, Canada, for cold weather
training; and the Asiatic Pacific and Korean Areas, where he participated in action against the
Chinese Communist Intervention in Korea. Commendations he received included: Korean
Service Ribbon with 2 battle stars, United Nations Ribbon, and Good Conduct Medal. Mr.
White led the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag at the beginning of the meeting as part of the
Veterans’ Honorary Pledge of Allegiance Program.
Gwen Cooper addressed the Board regarding Paw Impressions Animal Rescue, which
is a new animal rescue facility being built for the County, and she extended an invitation to
attend their grand opening on May 19. Ms. Cooper won a $50,000 Pepsi Refresh Project
Award for her proposed kennel facility for abused and neglected dogs. Their mission is to
operate and maintain an animal shelter to provide the highest quality of rescue, care, and
treatment for homeless animals in Allegany County; to foster a collaborative effort among
animal rescue and shelter groups in addressing the plight of homeless, abandoned, and
abused animals; to raise public awareness about animal rescue and shelter groups; to
promote interest and educate the public at large in animal rescue and shelter group
programs; and to help rehabilitate animals that are not adoptable due to behavioral issues.
Ms. Cooper explained that the facility is for the County, and she will be focusing on just dog
rescue, due to space and funding constraints. The kennel is designed with eight kennel runs,
four of which will be used for boarding to help pay expenses. Eventually they hope to utilize
all eight runs for rescues. Ms. Cooper also works with the SPCA on projects and will help
house dogs for some of the Towns. The facility is located at 4238 State Route 19 in Belmont.

RESOLUTION NO. 65-12
SUPPORTING THE REMOVAL OF THE POSITION OF CRIME VICTIMS COORDINATOR
FROM THE PUBLIC EMPLOYEES FEDERATION, AFL-CIO, BARGAINING UNIT
Offered by: Public Safety Committee
WHEREAS, the Crime Victims Coordinator has indicated a desire to be removed from
the Public Employees Federation, AFL-CIO, “PEF,” bargaining unit, and
WHEREAS, under the current collective bargaining agreement between PEF and the
County, the Crime Victims Coordinator salary is not one of the positions listed on the
Appendices to that agreement describing the various PEF salary grades, and
WHEREAS, the salary provided the Crime Victims Coordinator was not determined
pursuant to collective bargaining negotiations between the County and PEF, and
WHEREAS, the Crime Victims Coordinator has requested that PEF allow her position
to be removed from the bargaining unit and was advised by PEF that her inclusion in the
bargaining unit was at the request of the County, and
WHEREAS, in fact, the County never sought inclusion of the Crime Victims
Coordinator position in PEF and supports the removal of this position from PEF, now
therefore, be it
77
BOARD OF LEGISLATORS SESSION MINUTES, MAY 14, 2012
RESOLVED:
1.
That this Board supports the removal of the Crime Victims Coordinator position
from the Public Employees Federation, AFL-CIO, bargaining unit.
Moved by: Mr. Healy
Seconded by: Mr. Hopkins
Adopted: Voice Vote
(Memo: Regarding Resolution No. 65-12, the Crime Victims Coordinator position was added
to the PEF bargaining unit per Resolution No. 232-08.)
Comments made regarding Resolution No. 65-12 included: Legislator Pullen noted that at
the time the PEF Unit was organized, some positions were allowed to be removed, and some
were added. This resolution was not initiated by the County, but was requested by the
employee. Originally, the County had asked that this position not be included in the PEF
Unit, but that was not agreed to. The employee is now asking for the County to indicate that
it is still our desire to have the unit adjusted to remove that position. There is no further
action required; this resolution is just an expression of support. The Crime Victims
Coordinator position represents a special circumstance with unique salary conditions. It is
entirely grant funded, and will not be continued if the grant funding is eliminated. There are
no routine raises as there are with other positions, unless there is an increase in grant
funding. Since the position is different, it should be treated differently to reflect that.
AUDITS:
A motion was made by Legislator Hopkins, seconded by Legislator Pullen, and carried,
that the audits be acted upon collectively and by totals.
A motion was made by Legislator Hopkins, seconded by Legislator Graves, and
adopted on a roll call vote of 12 Ayes, 1 No, 2 Absent, that the audit of claims, totaling

Graves, seconded by Legislator Pullen, and carried.

2012 ALLEGANY COUNTY LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
The Board meeting minutes of April 23, 2012, were approved following a motion made
by Legislator Fanton, seconded by Legislator Curran, and carried.
PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR:
Chairman Curtis Crandall announced that Memorial Poppies were made available by
the American Legion Herbert W. DeLong Post 808 Women’s Auxiliary, and he presented
some information on the story behind the poppy. Each year around Memorial Day, Veterans
of Foreign Wars members and American Legion Auxiliary volunteers distribute the poppies,
made by hospitalized veterans, in exchange for contributions to assist disabled and
hospitalized veterans and their families. The poppy has become a nationally known and
recognized symbol of sacrifice and is worn to honor the men and women who served and
died for their country in all wars. Chairman Crandall read a short history of the memorial
poppy and made note of the upcoming Memorial Day celebrations that will take place in
various towns throughout the County.
Chairman Curtis Crandall presented a certificate to Stephen C. Kratts, former United
States Navy Petty Officer First Class, in grateful appreciation of his service to our country.
Mr. Kratts’ service dates were from July 1970 to October 1986. Following Basic Training at
Orlando Naval Training Center, FL, assignments included: Naval Station Great Lakes, IL;
USS Epperson, Pearl Harbor, HI; Norfolk Naval Ship Yard, VA; Naval Air Station Kingsville,
TX; Naval Air Station Keflavik, Iceland; USS Independence; USS Coronado; Naval Station
Rota, Spain; and USS America. Commendations he received included: Vietnam Service
Medal, Vietnam Campaign Medal, Meritorious Unit Commendation with 1 Star, Navy
Expeditionary Medal with 1 Star, Good Conduct Medal (3), National Defense Service Medal,
Combat Action Ribbon, Sea Service Deployment Ribbon with 2 Stars, Navy Unit Citation,
Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, Navy/Marine Corps Overseas Service Ribbon, and New
York State Conspicuous Service Cross. Mr. Kratts led the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag at
the beginning of the meeting as part of the Veterans’ Honorary Pledge of Allegiance
Program.
Chairman Curtis Crandall narrated a PowerPoint presentation on the designation of
May 14 as “Mayday for Mandate Relief,” relating to a resolution to be considered later in the
meeting. This effort is in conjunction with the other counties around New York State and was
initiated by NYSAC (New York State Association of Counties). The presentation highlighted
some of the reasons for this Mayday designation and the need for a continual push for
mandate relief in Albany.
The Mayday for Mandate Relief Resolution calls on the Mandate Relief Council,
Governor Cuomo, and the State Legislature to take action and address unfunded or
underfunded State mandates. In Allegany County, the total net cost for just the top 5 costliest
mandates (Medicaid, Safety Net, Child Welfare, Indigent Defense, and Probation) increased
by $1,439,253, or 12.44 percent, from $11,567,586 in 2011 to $13,006,839 in 2012. Mandate
reform is needed because the projected growth in unfunded mandates based on current
trends, coupled with the 2 percent Tax Cap, is not sustainable. (This year, Allegany County
could raise the tax levy by $725,000, while the cost for just the top 5 unfunded mandates rose
by $1,439,253.) Local community spending and services will be choked out due to the
growth of unfunded mandates - services such as: Public Works projects like highways and
bridges, Office for the Aging programs like Meals-on-Wheels, Emergency Services and Law
Enforcement programs like 911, Veterans’ Service programs, Economic Development
initiatives, and Local Cultural and Tourism efforts. Chairman Crandall urged the Board to
support the resolution before us today and not let up on our message to Albany that Mandate
79
BOARD OF LEGISLATORS SESSION MINUTES, MAY 14, 2012
Reform is vital to Allegany County taxpayers. He also stated that County citizens could help
by staying informed and spreading information on how tax dollars are spent and the impact
unfunded mandates have on local community services and by contacting the Governor and
State elected officials to request Mandate Relief.
Allegany County Agricultural Society President Martha Roberts provided an update on
the 2012 Allegany County Fair, to be held July 16 to 21, and distributed copies of the Fair
Book. She thanked the Legislators and everyone present for their support. Mrs. Roberts
noted that grounds upkeep is ongoing, but everything is just about set for this year’s Fair.
Entertainment is lined up, a new vendor for rides was found, and the price for admission
remains the same at $8. The Fair Board’s Appreciation Dinner was held on May 8, and the
2012 Fair and its Fair Book were dedicated to long-time supporter Lee Gridley.
Office for the Aging Director Kimberley Toot spoke about Older Americans Month.
This year’s theme is, “You’re Never Too Old to Have Fun.” Mrs. Toot highlighted a
fundraising event, “Swingin’ to the Oldies,” scheduled for May 19, from 4 to 9 p.m. at the
Activities Center at the Alfred State College Wellsville Campus to benefit Meals-on-Wheels.
Mrs. Toot referred to Chairman Crandall’s comments regarding unfunded mandates and
possible cuts to Office for the Aging programs. This fundraising event is a good opportunity
to support the Meals-on-Wheels program.
Foster Care Program Supervisor Marcia Moore addressed the Board regarding Foster
Care Month. The department will recognize foster parents at a dinner on May 22 at
Moonwinks. The theme this year revolves around puzzle pieces, and Ms. Moore compared
the foster parents, Social Services, legal support, and the biological parents to pieces of a
puzzle. The Foster Care Program tries to make it work and tries to provide permanency for
the kids they take into care. Foster children come from all walks of life and range in age from
an infant born December 2011 up to nearly 21 years old. Foster care is temporary; it’s not
meant to be permanent. Ms. Moore stated that her plea is to give these kids a home in
Allegany County. There is presently a need for homes for sibling groups. Handouts on the
Foster Care Program were distributed.
Representatives from the following departments and agencies were present to answer
questions regarding their 2011 Annual Reports: County Historian, Information Technology,
Parks & Forests, Sheriff, Soil & Water Conservation District, and Weights & Measures.

PROCLAMATIONS:
Chairman Crandall proclaimed May 9, 2012, as SCHOOL NURSE DAY in Allegany
County to celebrate school nurses everywhere and to acknowledge their accomplishments
and their efforts in meeting the needs of today’s students by improving the effective delivery
of health care in our schools.

DAY in Allegany County to celebrate the library’s 75th birthday. He encouraged all citizens to
participate in planned activities, celebrations, and events planned to coincide with this
milestone.
Chairman Crandall proclaimed May 2012 as OLDER AMERICANS MONTH in
Allegany County and urged everyone to take time this month to engage with our older
citizens through enjoyable social interactions such as sports, games, contests, and other
forms of play.
Chairman Crandall proclaimed May 2012 as FOSTER CARE MONTH in Allegany
County to recognize the valuable and continuing contributions of foster parents who open
their homes and hearts and play a vital role in helping children and families heal and
reconnect thereby launching young people into successful adulthood.
RESOLUTIONS:
A motion was made by Legislator Ungermann, seconded by Legislator Curran, and
carried following a roll call vote of 11 Ayes, 4 Noes, 0 Absent, to AMEND RESOLUTION
INTRO. NO. 68-12 (AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE COUNTY PROCUREMENT AND
ACQUISITION POLICY OF ALLEGANY COUNTY) to include professional services
(opposed: Crandall, Fanton, Hopkins, and Pullen). Comments included:
Legislator Ungermann noted that raising the dollar amount of goods and services requiring
bids is a good idea, but he’d like to see professional services included. He questions just
handing jobs to providers of professional services, and feels we should do something to open
it up.
Legislator Burdick asked if the resolution includes installment purchases.
County
Administrator John Margeson replied that typically lease/purchase contracts aren’t obtained
through the competitive bidding process. Legislator O’Grady pointed out that would
circumvent the policy. Mr. Margeson noted that when a department goes out to competitive
bid for a piece of equipment, they can bid it both ways - outright purchase and
lease/purchase; but they’re still supposed to bid it.
Legislator Hopkins explained that he would vote against competitive bidding for professional
services, because when you bid it, you almost have to take the lowest bid. He’s questions if
that’s what we really want with professional services. We’d want the person with the best
81
BOARD OF LEGISLATORS SESSION MINUTES, MAY 14, 2012
quality of service. Mr. Hopkins was involved in some of those circumstances in the past, and
it ended up being very costly because they had to take the lowest bid.
RESOLUTION INTRO. NO. 68-12 (AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE COUNTY
PROCUREMENT AND ACQUISITION POLICY OF ALLEGANY COUNTY) was TABLED, to
allow time for more research on how this amendment will impact professional services,
following a motion made by Legislator Fanton, seconded by Legislator Hopkins, and carried
on a voice vote.

2012 ALLEGANY COUNTY LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
WHEREAS, once the highest court in a state has ruled on a matter of state law, that
ruling is deemed to be the law of the state, and
WHEREAS, the last year the salary for county court judges was raised was in the year
1999, and
WHEREAS, in compliance with state law, as of the year 1999, Allegany County raised
the salary of its district attorney from $99,000 to $119,800, and
WHEREAS, there has been no raise in the salary of a county judge since 1999 and
likewise, in Allegany County, no raise in the salary of the district attorney since 1999, and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Chapter 567 of the 2010 Laws of New York, the state
legislature created a Special Commission on Judicial Compensation to make

annul the recommendations of the Commission, those recommendations became effective as
the law of this state on April 1, 2012, and
WHEREAS, the salary of an Allegany County Judge was raised to $140,300 on April
1, 2012, and therefore the salary of the Allegany County District Attorney also increases to

Comments made regarding Resolution No. 67-12 included the following:
Legislator Pullen noted that since this issue was first considered by the Board on April 9,
there’s been extensive discussion, and he believes it now has strong support. Mr. Pullen still
opposes it, although there have been court decisions rendered on this matter in the past. His
opposition is based on the fact that the State Constitution says the State can’t do this,
regardless of what the court says. Ultimately, there has to be some law. There have been
individuals, Martin Luther King, Jr. was one of them, who said that sometimes you have to
take a stand against what is wrong. There have been precedents in the past which have
been overruled over time, and part of the process was that a stand was taken. Mr. Pullen is
prepared to take such a stand. The State Constitution says that State government cannot act
to change the salaries of county and local government officials. The District Attorney has
been specified in County Law as a county officer, not a State official; and as such, it is this
Board that should set that salary, not the State Legislature. If you look back over history
since the 1960s when that law was passed, they have essentially ignored it. The ultimate
foundational law of the State of New York is the State Constitution, and they are violating it.
There are many County officers, i.e. County Sheriff, County Treasurer, County Clerk, County
Health Director, and Commissioner of Social Services, who administer State programs. Are
all of those also going to be subject to salary being established and mandated? There’s a
law, the State Constitution, and we should follow it. If that means litigation, then so be it.
Legislator Sinclair stated that it’s apparent in the court cases and in the narratives about the
position that the District Attorney is not a County employee. He is subject to the control of the
State Attorney General. Any case can be taken over at any time, and he is subject to their
bidding. There is something wrong with the structure, but it’s obvious in all of the citations
that the District Attorney is not subject to County policy, he does not function as any of those
other County employees do, and he is not to be subject to pressures as many other officers
can be. Based on that, another approach would be to send a resolution to our State
Legislature requesting them to fix the designation and to stop trampling on our home rule and
the State Constitution. Mr. Sinclair does not feel that denying this State mandate is
something that will fix the basic problem or that would be effective in light of the prior court
cases that have decided this matter. He supports the resolution and the raise; however, we
should draft a resolution addressing the need to fix the problem of designation.
Legislator Ungermann referred to a newspaper account that appeared after the issue of the
District Attorney’s salary increase came up at the April 9 meeting that included the quote,
“Unfunded mandates are a noble cause - I’m against them, too - but that’s not this. Why they
(the Board) decided to fight this battle, I don’t know. This is incredibly stupid.” Mr.
Ungermann remarked that apparently an unfunded mandate is objectionable when it doesn’t
affect you, but when it gives you a big raise, it’s OK. It seems like it’s just a group of lawyers
getting together to make sure everybody gets their due. When two parties disagree about
something, they each hire an attorney, and then a third attorney tells them which one is right,
and they all get paid, win or lose. Unfortunately, most laws are made by lawyers. The little
guys without a law degree don’t really count that much.
Legislator Hopkins agreed with Mr. Sinclair that the approach to take is changing how it’s
paid at the State level. He’s concerned that if we don’t pass this, we’ll get into litigation that
will cost the taxpayers a lot of money, and chances are we’ll lose. Even if by a remote
84
2012 ALLEGANY COUNTY LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
chance we should win, the State will find a way to change it around so that we still end up
paying. This isn’t the battle we want to fight.
Legislator Fanton noted that the State is picking up the tab for the increase this year. What
our focus should be is to pressure them to continue to pick up the increase. That’s
something we can do through NYSAC and InterCounty Association. We’re not the only
county affected. This isn’t a fight we can get out of without cost.
Chairman Crandall pointed out that a resolution encouraging the State to continue to pick up
the cost of the increase will be considered a little later in the meeting. Taking that a step
further, the issue Mr. Sinclair brought up about fixing the designation should probably be
taken up by the Ways and Means Committee.
Legislator Healy stated that he respectfully disagreed with Mr. Pullen’s interpretation of the
State Constitution on this matter. This case was decided in 1982 before the highest court in
the State of New York. In the absence of any new circumstances, the outcome is going to be
the same. On the best advice of our council, Mr. Healy supported the resolution. We may
not like it, but this isn’t the battle we want to fight in challenging unfunded mandates. We
might better fight one we have a chance of winning.
RESOLUTION NO. 68-12
RESOLUTION DECLARING MAY 14, 2012, TO BE “MAYDAY FOR MANDATE RELIEF”
AND URGING THE MANDATE RELIEF COUNCIL TO TAKE SWIFT ACTION
IN SUBMITTING A PACKAGE OF MANDATE RELIEF PROPOSALS
TO GOVERNOR CUOMO AND THE STATE LEGISLATURE
TO BE VOTED ON THIS SESSION
Offered by: Ways and Means Committee
WHEREAS, the State of New York mandates (requires) the delivery of State programs
using local resources, causing some counties to dedicate more than 80 percent of their entire
budget toward the funding of State mandated programs and fixed costs, and
WHEREAS, the New York State Association of Counties has identified just 9 State
mandates that equal 90 percent of all county property taxes levied in 2010 (outside of New
York City), consuming $4 billion of $4.4 billion in county property taxes levied. These
mandates include: Medicaid, TANF/Public Assistance Safety Net, Child Welfare Protective
and Preventive Care, Special Education Pre-School, Early Intervention, Probation, Indigent
Defense, Youth Detention, and Pensions, and
WHEREAS, these State mandates are the root cause of high county property and
sales taxes in New York and have led to a decline in the delivery of important local services,
and
WHEREAS, these State imposed mandates continue to contribute to New York’s
highest in the nation local tax burden for residents and businesses, severely damaging New
York’s ability to attract, create and maintain good paying jobs, as well as contributing to
population losses to other states, and
WHEREAS, at a state-wide cost of $7.3 billion, Medicaid is the number one mandate
facing counties, and
85
BOARD OF LEGISLATORS SESSION MINUTES, MAY 14, 2012
WHEREAS, Allegany County property taxpayers will pay approximately $10.03 million
in State Medicaid costs in 2012, and that amount will increase 3 percent every year as
mandated by the State, and
WHEREAS, if a State takeover of Medicaid is enacted, County property taxes could be
reduced by over 36 percent, and
WHEREAS, due to other State welfare mandates, the County is required to spend an
additional $8.53 million, or approximately 30 percent of the 2012 tax levy, on three central
program groups consisting of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Safety Net,
and Child Welfare, and
WHEREAS, State Legislators also mandate numerous other expenses included in
Special Education, Youth Detention, Probation, Indigent Defense, and the Public Pension
System which will cost the County $5.96 million or 21 percent of the 2012 tax levy, and
WHEREAS, in total, the various NYS Mandates listed above will cost Allegany County
$24.52 million which comprises 87 percent of the total County Property Tax Levy for 2012,
and
WHEREAS, when the State enacted a property tax cap in 2011, a Mandate Relief
Council was established to review specific mandates and advance legislative proposals to
reduce the statutory and regulatory burden on municipalities, now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED:
1.
That Allegany County hereby declares May 14, 2012, to be “Mayday for
Mandate Relief” to demonstrate that the decisions made in Albany have a direct impact on
the property tax levy and local community services here in Allegany County.
2.
That Allegany County hereby calls on the Mandate Relief Council to take swift
action in submitting a package of Mandate Relief proposals to Governor Cuomo and the
State Legislature to be voted on by our State Representatives during the 2012 State
Legislative Session.
3.
That the Clerk of this Board is hereby authorized and directed to forward a
certified copy of this resolution to Governor Andrew M. Cuomo; New York State Senator
Catharine M. Young; Senate Majority Leader Dean G. Skelos; Assembly Speaker Sheldon

URGING THE GOVERNOR AND THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
TO ADOPT LEGISLATION PROVIDING ONGOING STATE AID TO COVER THE COST OF
ANY INCREASE IN THE SALARY PAID A DISTRICT ATTORNEY
DUE TO AN INCREASE IN THE SALARY PAID A COUNTY JUDGE
Offered by: Ways and Means Committee
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 183-a of the Judiciary Law, the base salary of a
district attorney must be equivalent to a county judge serving in the same county, and
86
2012 ALLEGANY COUNTY LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
WHEREAS, unlike other county officers whose salaries are established by the county
legislature, the salary paid a district attorney has been deemed a matter of “state interest”
and as such set by state law, and
WHEREAS, in Allegany County, the salary set for the District Attorney is almost a
third higher than other County officers, including those with similar professional credentials,
and substantially more than the norm for lawyers practicing in the County, and
WHEREAS, in addition to increasingly expensive mandates imposed upon counties by
the State, the State has imposed a 2 percent property tax cap which severely limits a
county’s ability to provide governmental services critical to the health and welfare of its
residents, and
WHEREAS, a key initiative of Governor Cuomo has been reducing or eliminating
unfunded mandates through the creation of the Mandate Relief Council, and
WHEREAS, without relief from State mandates or additional State aid to assist
counties in meeting those mandates, many of the “social ills” which county governments deal
with on a daily basis can, if left unattended, translate into increased criminal activity, and
WHEREAS, given the role counties play in meeting critical social needs and thereby
reducing the risk of criminal behavior, this Board believes that New York State should bear
the full cost of any increase in district attorney salaries, and
WHEREAS, the recent amendment to Section 700 of the County Law is due to expire
as of March 31, 2013, and there is no assurance of State aid to cover the salary increase
beyond that date, now therefore, be it
RESOLVED:
1.
That the Allegany County Board of Legislators hereby calls on State lawmakers
and Governor Andrew Cuomo to pass legislation that makes any additional cost to counties
on or after April 1, 2012, for salaries paid district attorneys pursuant to Section 183-a of the
Judiciary Law fully reimbursable to counties through the provision of State aid.
2.
That the Clerk of this Board is hereby directed to send certified copies of this
resolution to Governor Andrew Cuomo, Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos, Assembly
Speaker Sheldon Silver, Senator Catharine M. Young, Assemblymen Daniel J. Burling and
Joseph M. Giglio, the New York State Association of Counties, and InterCounty Association
of Western New York.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
The Board meeting minutes of May 29, 2012, were approved on a motion made by
Legislator Hopkins, seconded by Legislator Curran, and carried.
PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR:
Chairman Crandall presented a certificate to Richard H. Monroe, of Bolivar, NY, former
United States Army Private First Class, in grateful appreciation of his service to our country.
Mr. Monroe’s service dates were from September 1946 to January 1948. Following Basic
Training at Camp Lee, VA, he was assigned to overseas duty in Kobe, Japan.
Commendations he received included: World War II Victory Medal and Army Occupation
Medal Japan. Mr. Monroe is an active member of the American Legion in Bolivar and creates
portraits to honor Bolivar/Richburg area servicemen who lost their lives while serving their
country. The portraits are on display at the Bolivar Legion. Mr. Monroe led the Pledge of
Allegiance to the Flag at the beginning of the meeting as part of the Veterans’ Honorary
Pledge of Allegiance Program.
Allegany County Dairy Princess Haley Dibble, sophomore at Cuba-Rushford Central
School and sponsored by TD Farms of Cuba, introduced herself to the Board and spoke
about the debate over whether chocolate milk should be considered a junk food or an
occasional snack with many health benefits. Chairman Crandall noted that Ms. Dibble and
Allegany County Fair Board President Martha Roberts were featured on the front page of the
Country Folks statewide newspaper recently. Ms. Dibble served milk punch and cheese and
crackers in the hallway foyer prior to the meeting.
NYS Farm Bureau Field Advisor Timothy Bigham addressed the Board regarding
agriculture. He made note of the diversity of agriculture in Allegany County and Western
New York. Dairy still dominates, but the County ranks second in the state for cut Christmas
trees and third for hog production. Mr. Bigham listed some of the many types of farms,
different methods of production, and the multitude of goods our raw products are made into.
He also illustrated the variety of agricultural and secondary jobs available in Western New
York. Mr. Bigham remarked that Farm Bureau sometimes asks for the Legislature’s help with
problems they face, and sometimes they offer their voice and strength to help the Legislature
convey a message to Albany or Washington. Today, they’re just asking for a greater
understanding of why agriculture is important to Allegany County and to partner with them in
making Allegany County an excellent place to live and do business.

RESOLUTION NO. 76-12
AUTHORIZING A TEMPORARY LOCAL RETIREMENT INCENTIVE
CONSISTING OF A REDUCED CONTRIBUTION TOWARDS
THE COST OF FAMILY HEALTH CARE COVERAGE AS IT PERTAINS
TO CERTAIN QUALIFIED EMPLOYEES
Offered by: Personnel Committee
WHEREAS, this Board is seeking to save taxpayer dollars while maintaining quality
services, and
WHEREAS, as with most businesses, employees who have been with the County for
several years are entitled to more pay for certain jobs that can also be performed by
employees with less tenure, and
WHEREAS, it is anticipated that the County will experience cost savings by filling
certain positions that become vacant through the retirement of longstanding employees with
employees with less years of experience, and
WHEREAS, the County will experience further cost savings by eliminating certain
positions deemed no longer necessary upon the retirement of longstanding employees, and
WHEREAS, it has been determined that certain employees who are eligible to retire
have delayed their retirement due to the high cost of maintaining family health care coverage,
and
WHEREAS, it is believed that some employees who have delayed their retirement due
to the high cost of maintaining family health care coverage will choose to retire if the cost of
family health care coverage can be reduced, and
WHEREAS, in order to achieve a reduction in overall County expenditures, this Board
wishes to implement a temporary local retirement incentive consisting of a reduced
contribution towards the cost of family health care coverage as it pertains to certain County
employees meeting eligibility requirements, now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED:
1.
Allegany County hereby adopts a temporary local retirement incentive on the
following terms and conditions.
2.
Qualified employees, as hereinafter defined, if retiring within a specific
timeframe, shall be entitled to retain family/dependent health insurance coverage upon
retirement at a reduced contributory cost of $200 per month beyond the cost of single
coverage. Such additional contributory amount for family coverage shall remain in effect until
either the retired employee or his/her spouse attains the age of 62, at which point they must
contribute for such coverage to the same extent as if they had retired and reached the age of
62. Except for the reduced premium applicable for family coverage provided herein, premium
contributions are not otherwise affected by this policy and shall continue, (and may increase),
in accordance with the contribution schedule for the Agreement covering that particular
employee in effect at the time they retired. Employees who choose to continue their health

RESOLUTION NO. 79-12
APPOINTMENT OF MICHAEL JOHNSEN TO

Offered by: Planning and Economic Development Committee
Pursuant to Title 1 of Article 18-A and Section 906-a of the General Municipal Law
98
2012 ALLEGANY COUNTY LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
RESOLVED:
1.
That Michael Johnsen of Dalton, New York, is appointed as a member of the
Allegany County Industrial Development Agency and Industrial and Commercial Incentive
Board with term of office commencing May 16, 2012, and expiring December 31, 2013.
2.
That the Clerk of this Board is directed to send a certified copy of this resolution
to the Secretary of State for filing pursuant to Section 856(2) of the General Municipal Law.
Moved by: Mr. Sinclair
Seconded by: Mr. Hopkins
Adopted: Voice Vote
Comments made regarding Resolution No. 79-12 included the following:
Legislator Sinclair commended the civic-minded residents who serve on the Industrial
Development Agency Board. They are responsible for the IDA achieving the County’s goals
in terms of economic development. Those goals also include County-wide industrial and
business development and expansion, job creation and retention, and economic growth.
Legislator Hopkins explained the reasons for selecting Mike Johnsen to fill the vacant IDA
Board position. He is the Supervisor for the Town of Grove and was heavily involved in the
transfer of the Swain Resort ownership. Without that assistance, it may not have happened.
Also, when Swain was up and running again, Mike’s knowledge and experience at Motorola
were key in establishing the internet and wireless communications they needed, making them
a better attraction for the County. Because of Mike’s executive position at Motorola, he
knows large companies, which will be helpful in the IDA’s future dealings with large
companies. In the past three or four months, the IDA has been involved in the Point of
Presence and the Ion connection, which are going to be key in the development of the
County’s communications infrastructure. Mike’s knowledge and connections will be valuable
assets for the IDA in moving that forward, so the County will be able to attract business. It’s
hard to find people who are willing to serve and who have the knowledge. Mr. Hopkins has
served on committees with Mr. Johnsen, and he felt Mike will be a great asset to the IDA
Board.
Legislator Healy thanked everyone who serves on the IDA Board and the various other
boards and committees throughout the County; it’s a thankless job. He also thanked Mr.
Hopkins for his comments on behalf of Mr. Johnsen. Mr. Healy explained that his opposition
to this appointment has nothing to do with Mr. Johnsen, who is very qualified and
knowledgeable, but it leaves Legislative District 2 with no representation on the IDA Board.
Past practice has been to attempt to have every district represented equally, which lends a
certain degree of legitimacy and transparency to the process. Mr. Healy felt that more effort
should have been made to find an equally qualified candidate from District 2. There has
been some discussion on amending the by-laws of the IDA to ensure equal representation on
the board from every district, and Mr. Healy encouraged efforts on that behalf.
Legislator Pullen remarked that if he thought it was strictly a matter of each district having a
representative in office to pitch for the benefit of that particular district, he might be moved to
support Mr. Healy’s suggestion. His understanding of the IDA operation, both the Executive
Director and the Board of Directors of the IDA, is that they approach things on a County-wide
basis. They are not serving for the benefit of their specific districts. The entire County needs
to reap the benefit. From his involvement with the ad hoc committee dealing with
communications, Mr. Pullen has seen that Mike Johnsen has worked very diligently on that.
The Ion initiative doesn’t actually touch his town, but he has put a lot of effort into it,
recognizing that the entire County will benefit from the economic development. For that
99
BOARD OF LEGISLATORS SESSION MINUTES, JUNE 11, 2012
reason, Mr. Pullen feels that Mr. Johnsen is a good choice. Mr. Pullen understands the
sentiment of having balance, and it’s something the Board should keep in mind, but not in a
slavish manner. He wants what’s best for the County.
Legislator Ungermann commented that with the good, comes some not so good. There’s a
small company called Reno Net, and they have filled in the areas with high-speed internet
that didn’t have service before, from Elmira all the way to the eastern border of Allegany
County. Mr. Ungermann felt that we could have had high-speed internet in this County
sooner. For whatever reason, Mr. Johnsen had no interest in giving these people a fair
hearing. Mr. Ungermann questioned that, noting that we have to look at all of the options.

the resolution.

Voting No: O’Grady, Ungermann
Comments made regarding Resolution No. 86-12 included: Mr. Ungermann remarked it
seemed as if the government is trying to help everybody, whether they need it or not.
Chairman Crandall noted that this is a federal program and that Allegany County does not set
the income requirement levels. Mr. Sinclair commented that most of the time, the funds
assist the needy, such as the working poor. Mr. O’Grady was in agreement with Mr.
Ungermann, stating that the government is making it hard for people to want to earn a living,
because there are so many government handouts. He also noted that this “free” money is
actually coming from the taxpayers, the folks who work. Mr. Sinclair also noted that in the
long run, these types of programs save taxpayers money by improving the housing stock,
allowing homeowners to remain in their homes, thereby relieving the County of having to
provide shelter for those individuals.

Comments made regarding Resolution No. 98-12 included the following:
Legislator Ungermann remarked that at the last meeting, when this issue was discussed, he
had stated that he felt there were a lot of people taking advantage of this type of program
who can well afford to have the work done themselves. Since that time, he has heard other
people saying the same thing. It’s a program that needs to be watched. Over 50 percent of
the Cuba Police Department’s calls go to the low-income housing built with these grant funds.
Mr. Ungermann wonders if we’re not destroying our local communities with these things.

2012 ALLEGANY COUNTY LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
Legislator Sinclair noted that during his term as Town Supervisor, he helped administer one
of these grants for the Town of Ward. They had tremendous success working with 12
households, mostly elderly people, and there were no instances of anyone who was not
within the state guidelines taking advantage of the program. Millions of dollars have come
into this County over the past ten years helping people with the restoration of their homes so
they can stay in them, so that they’re safer. Parts of this program involve lead abatement,
wiring, windows, foundations, plumbing, and roofs. There are many ways this impacts the
health and safety of our community and assisting the elderly to stay in their homes. Mr.
Sinclair realizes that there are always some people who don’t follow the rules of a program,
and there can be unpleasant impacts, but those few instances are far outweighed by the
number of people who benefit from this program.
AUDITS:
A motion was made by Legislator Hopkins, seconded by Legislator Graves, and
carried, that the audits be acted upon collectively and by totals.

Chairman Crandall presented the following Special Awards and Recognitions:
Prior to recognizing the honored veteran, Chairman Crandall explained that several
years ago, the Board of Legislators began inviting veterans to lead in the Pledge of
Allegiance to the Flag as a way of highlighting all veterans, past and present, whose actions
allow us to enjoy the freedoms that we have.
A certificate was presented to Douglas L. Gath, from the Town of Allen, former United
States Army Accounting Specialist, in grateful appreciation of his service to our country. Mr.
Gath’s service dates were from September 1965 to September 1967. Following Basic
Training at Fort Benning, Columbus, GA, assignments included: Radio School Training at
Fort Jackson, Columbia, SC; Radio Teletype Training at Fort Gordon, Augusta, GA; and
overseas duty at Munich, Germany, where he served as Radio Teletype Operator and
Accounting Specialist. Commendations he received included: Expert Marksman Badge, held
“Secret” (Crypto) Security Clearance Level, Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service
Medal, Operation “Look-See” (visited West and East Berlin in military uniform), Robert S.
McNamara (Secretary of Defense) Certificate (joint effort) for correctly decoding his 07/04/66
message to troops at 25 words per minute in Morse Code, Honorable Discharge. Mr. Gath
led the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag at the beginning of the meeting as part of the
Veterans’ Honorary Pledge of Allegiance Program.
Chairman Crandall made note that Veteran Douglas Gath has been working on
bringing national recognition to military “Taps” and Angelica native Oliver Willcox Norton,
bugler, who gave one of the first renditions of Taps 150 years ago. He read some pertinent
information and then read a proclamation for OLIVER WILLCOX NORTON DAY on July 19,
2012, to pay tribute to him for his performance and talent, to honor all Veterans, and to
recognize the importance of “Taps” as part of the military honors accorded at special
services.
Certificates of appreciation were presented to Angelica Boy Scout Troop 736 Members
Curtis Warner, Nicholas Cobin, Conner Cockle, and Gunther Krohn, who took part in the Flag
presentation at today’s meeting.
A certificate of appreciation was presented to the Allegany County Agricultural Society,
accepted by President Martha Roberts, in recognition of their dedication to agriculture and
tourism. The Allegany County Fair has been running for 168 years, and has a great
economic and tourism impact for the County.
A certificate of appreciation was presented to Lee Gridley, of Wellsville, NY, in
recognition of her contributions to the Allegany County Fair. This year’s Fair and the
Fairbook were dedicated to Ms. Gridley. Chairman Crandall highlighted some of Ms.
Gridley’s many years of participation in County committees and organizations, as well as her
more than 20 years involvement with the Fair.
A certificate of recognition was awarded to 4-H Member Abby Luzier in honor of her
many accomplishments during twelve years in the Cuba Gold Diggers 4-H Club and her
involvement with the Allegany County Fair.
The following elected representatives addressed the Board:
New York State Senator Catharine Young recognized the efforts of the Board of
Legislators in offering the opportunity for citizen involvement and bringing government to the
people by holding this meeting at the County Fair. Senator Young remarked that the Fair
represents who we are in Allegany County and reflects our rural way of life. She thanked
Martha Roberts and Lee Gridley for all of their efforts. She congratulated Doug Gath and
126
2012 ALLEGANY COUNTY LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
thanked him for his service and his efforts to bring recognition to Oliver Willcox Norton.
Senator Young read a State Senate proclamation for Mr. Norton and Taps as a significant
part of our American heritage, and presented it to Mr. Gath. Senator Young then spoke
about agriculture in New York State and how tough this year has been for the farmers. She
stressed the importance of focusing on not only what we have, but the opportunities and
bringing our resources back into production, which can translate into career opportunities,
jobs, and economic prosperity. Senator Young noted that along with Assemblyman Joseph
Giglio and Congressman Tom Reed, they have worked as a team to pass a lot of beneficial
legislation, but they are successful because of the local efforts.
New York State Assemblyman Joseph Giglio referred to Senator Young’s comments
on their great team, and noted that one member wasn’t present today - Dan Burling, who
chose not to run for re-election to the State Assembly. He will be missed. Assemblyman
Giglio spoke about not taking things for granted. In speaking about the Fair and everything it
represents, the 4-H’ers, and the Veterans, when we look around us, that’s the reason we do
it. That’s what we call America. Our founding fathers were no different from us. They came
to this same kind of meeting, they held the same type of offices, and they used their beliefs to
make this the greatest country on earth. Our job is to preserve those dreams, so our children
will have the same freedoms.
United States Congressman Tom Reed was represented by Lee James.
Congressman Reed extended his thanks to everyone for their hard work and dedication to
the area. The partnership he shares with officials at the local level on up through the state
representatives helps build relationships and make everyone’s jobs easier. Ms. James
congratulated Martha Roberts and the efforts of the Fair Board for a great Fair. There are a
lot of good, dedicated volunteers. She also recognized Abby Luzier and Lee Gridley.
Congressman Tom Reed sent a letter honoring Taps, which Ms. James read and presented
to Mr. Gath. Congressman Reed has worked with his colleagues to include language in the
National Defense Authorization Act of 2013 to designate Taps as the national song of
remembrance, and he is confident the President will sign it into law. He thanked Mr. Gath
and others for their efforts to help make this designation of Taps a reality as an appropriate
way to honor those who have fallen in service of our country.

(S07641B, A10657-A), and

133
BOARD OF LEGISLATORS SESSION MINUTES, JULY 19, 2012
WHEREAS, this act also excuses non-compliance with the time limits for filing,
provided they resulted from “good faith” mistakes and the public entity is unable to prove
substantial prejudice as a result, and
WHEREAS, this act will make it easier to commence litigation against local
governments and thereby encourage the filing of more lawsuits, and
WHEREAS, an increase in litigation will require municipalities to spend a greater
portion of their limited budgets to defend against such lawsuits, and
WHEREAS, local governments are already struggling to maintain critical services
while dealing with severe financial constraints, now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED:
1.
That the Allegany County Board of Legislators hereby urges the Governor to
disapprove the Uniform Notice of Claim Act (S07641B, A10657-A).

That the Clerk of this Board is hereby authorized and directed to forward a
certified copy of this resolution to Governor Andrew M. Cuomo; New York State Senator
Catharine M. Young; and Assemblymen Daniel J. Burling and Joseph M. Giglio.
Moved by: Mr. Hopkins
Seconded by: Mr. Curran
Adopted: Voice Vote
Comments made regarding Resolution No. 108-12 included the following:
Legislator Pullen remarked that he’s been an attorney for the past 30+ years and has
represented a number of municipalities. There are many frivolous lawsuits, as well as some
with some merit. One of the major defenses that municipalities have had is a state law
requiring the filing of a notice of claim, which has some pretty strict time frames and
requirements. The state is looking at changing that, and there may be some reasons, but
there is a very real possibility that this could increase expenses for local governments at a
time when we as taxpayers can’t afford it.
Legislator Ungermann noted that a claim is the only opportunity that the public has if they
disagree with what the government is doing. He can’t support the resolution. Chairman
Crandall pointed out that this legislation just changes the procedure. There are already
methods and means for filing claims in place.
AUDITS:
A motion was made by Legislator Hopkins, seconded by Legislator Pullen, and carried,
that the audits be acted upon collectively and by totals.
A motion was made by Legislator Hopkins, seconded by Legislator O’Grady, and
adopted on a roll call vote of 13 Ayes, 1 No, 1 Absent, that the audit of claims, totaling
$3,313,193.95, including prepaid expenses, be approved for payment as recommended by
the County Administrator (opposed: Ungermann). (Allegany County’s Local Dollar Share of
the NYS Medicaid Program paid year-to-date is $5,514,626.)

Graves, seconded by Legislator Fanton, and carried.

REGULAR SESSION – AUGUST 13, 2012
CALL TO ORDER: The regular meeting of the Board of Legislators was called to order at
2:00 p.m. by Chairman Curtis W. Crandall.
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG: The Pledge of Allegiance was led by United
States Army Second Lieutenant Tyler J. Shaw.
INVOCATION: The Invocation was given by Legislator David Pullen.
ROLL CALL: 15 Legislators Present: Glenn Benson, Douglas Burdick, Donald Cady, Curtis
Crandall, Philip Curran, Dwight Fanton, Karl Graves, Dwight (Mike) Healy, Theodore
Hopkins, Kevin LaForge, Aaron McGraw, Timothy O’Grady, David Pullen, Frederick
Sinclair, Norman Ungermann, Jr.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
The Board meeting minutes of July 19, 2012, were approved on a motion made by
Legislator Curran, seconded by Legislator Sinclair, and carried. Legislator Cady clarified
comments reported in a local newspaper regarding Resolution No. 108-12 opposing a state
bill establishing new procedure in claims against local governments. The article stated that it
was the only way citizens could do this, but it was explained to the Legislators as an alternate
way. Fourteen Legislators voted to oppose the bill, because it appears to be just another
layer of bureaucracy at more expense to the public, and a way to generate more state
revenue.
PUBLIC HEARING:
Chairman Crandall closed the regular meeting to hold a public hearing on Local Law
Intro. No. 1-2012, entitled “A Local Law to Increase the Compensation of the Allegany County
Sheriff.” There being no one desiring to speak, the public hearing was declared closed and

Force Reserve Station. Mr. Shaw has also been employed as a Health Technician for the

2012 ALLEGANY COUNTY LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
BE IT ENACTED by the Board of Legislators of the County of Allegany, State of New
York, as follows:
Section 1. Commencing September 1, 2012, the salary of the Allegany County Sheriff,
calculated from such date going forward, shall be increased to an annual amount of $67,000.
Section 2. This local law shall take effect on the date of its filing with the Secretary of
State.

(Memo: This Local Law was filed in the Office of the Secretary of State on October 15, 2012,
as Local Law No. 1 of 2012.)
Comments made regarding Resolution No. 109-12 included the following:
Legislator Ungermann noted that it’s late in the year and nearly time to begin the discussions
about raises that take place during the annual budget process. His understanding is that this
raise for the Sheriff will be good through 2013. Chairman Crandall responded that it’s up to
the consensus of this group. Mr. Ungermann stated that his support would be contingent on
assurance that the raise is good through 2013.
Legislator Hopkins provided some history to explain the justification of the raise at this time.
Currently, Sheriff Whitney’s salary is approximately $59,000. When Sheriff Belmont left office
six years ago, he was making $61,000. The Sheriff’s salary has decreased, but the duties
and responsibilities have increased in that time frame. If the salary increases had been kept
up for that position at an average of two percent per year, the Sheriff’s salary would be
$70,000 per year by this time. Although the increase to $67,000 looks like a large increase,
it’s well within the range for other Sheriffs in the area, and puts the salary back somewhat to
where it should have been. There’s no good time for raises, but this one is overdue.
Legislator Cady made a motion that the $67,000 salary be extended through 2013.
Chairman Crandall stated that there could be consensus among the Legislators on that, but
he questioned amending the Local Law. County Attorney Thomas Miner advised that if an
amendment is offered, the Local Law can certainly be amended, but the Local Law document
would have to be in its final form for at least seven days, excluding Sunday, prior to voting on
it. It couldn’t be voted on at this meeting. Mr. Cady withdrew his motion, stating that it was
adequate to have it on record that it was the consensus of the Board that the salary increase
extend through next year.

Adopted: Roll Call
15 Ayes, 0 Noes, 0 Absent
Comments made regarding Resolution No. 110-12 included the following:
Legislator Cady made a motion to amend the resolution to extend the indicated salary
through 2013. County Attorney Miner remarked that it can be amended to reflect that
change, but even if that change is made, a local law increasing the salary could be adopted
later, which would repeal what was done today. Nothing will really be gained, because it’s
not going to lock it in. The salary will stay at this number until it’s changed by local law.
Chairman Crandall commented that locking in and guaranteeing salaries have been
discussed before, and there is no guarantee, other than what the Board takes action on.
These are all things to be considered when the Committee of the Whole discusses salaries,
and a consensus can be reached. Mr. Cady withdrew his motion.
Legislator Healy noted that a process is already in place to address future raises, which he
feels is adequate.
RESOLUTION NO. 111-12
AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE
COUNTY PROCUREMENT AND ACQUISITION POLICY OF ALLEGANY COUNTY
Offered by: Ways and Means Committee
WHEREAS, this Board, by Resolution No. 129-2006, approved the Comprehensive
County Procurement and Acquisition Policy of Allegany County, and
WHEREAS, in 2009, the New York State Legislature amended Section 103 of the
General Municipal Law to raise the dollar threshold on Public Works contracts requiring
public bids from $20,000 to $35,000, and
WHEREAS, in 2010, the New York State Legislature further amended Section 103 of
the General Municipal Law to raise the dollar threshold on the purchase of goods, services,
and equipment requiring public bids from $10,000 to $20,000, and
WHEREAS, the Comprehensive County Procurement and Acquisition Policy of
Allegany County sets forth the procedure to be followed for the purchase of goods, services,
equipment, and entry into Public Works contracts by Allegany County, and
WHEREAS, Allegany County desires to amend its Comprehensive County
Procurement and Acquisition Policy to reflect current State Law, now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED:
1.
That the following described paragraphs of the Comprehensive County
Procurement and Acquisition Policy of Allegany County are amended to read as follows:
a)
Section A. 1. All purchases of goods, services, and equipment which will
exceed $20,000 in the fiscal year and all public work contracts over $35,000 shall be
formally bid pursuant to Section 103 of the General Municipal Law.

Seconded by: Mr. LaForge
Adopted: Roll Call
12 Ayes, 3 Noes, 0 Absent
Voting No: Burdick, Cady, Ungermann
Comments made regarding Resolution No. 111-12 included the following:
Legislator Ungermann referred to his request at the May 14 Board meeting to amend
Resolution Intro. No. 68-12 to include the requirement that professional service contracts be
obtained either through the issuance of a Request for Proposal or competitively bid. (That
resolution was tabled to allow time to determine the potential impact of that amendment.)
County Administrator John Margeson distributed a memo to all Legislators listing reasons
why he and County Attorney Thomas Miner felt it was unwise to require the inclusion of
professional services. One of the listed reasons that concerned Mr. Ungermann was, “being
forced to obtain professional services by way of competitive bidding potentially prevents the
County from using County-based firms or companies as we would be required to select the
lowest, responsible bidder which may not be a local vendor.” Mr. Ungermann noted that
three of the major companies we use are LaBella; Bond, Schoeneck and King; and Hodgson
Russ. None of those are local, and the County just seems to hand business to them. Mr.
Ungermann expressed concern that we may not be getting the best service. The issue about
being sued by some company that didn’t get the job isn’t legitimate either, because in every
RFP or bid notice the County releases, there is a statement that the County reserves the right
to reject any or all bids and accept the bid it determines to be in the best interest of Allegany
County. If one of the businesses threatens to sue because their prices are proprietary, would
the County be interested in ever hiring them again? That wouldn’t be the case. Mr.
Ungermann had no objection to raising the limits in the Policy, but he did have a problem with
just handing work to those three companies.
Legislator Hopkins pointed out that any committee, or any person, can request to have an
RFP done on any project or any professional service that’s required. There’s a concern that
we’re cutting out local companies, but we’re not cutting anyone out of the process. If
someone on a committee feels that we’re going to pay too much or we aren’t going to get
what we’re paying for, we can always put out an RFP. We have to remember that RFPs are
expensive and time consuming. There is some question on bidding certain services, and that
you’d be obligated to take the low bid, unless you can really prove it’s not in the best interest
of the County. That burden of proof may be expensive to do. Mr. Hopkins felt we should
leave the policy like it is, realizing that we do have a choice with the RFPs, but to require a
bid or RFP for every professional service isn’t in the best interest of the taxpayers.
RESOLUTION NO. 112-12
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE COUNTY TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH
OTIS ELEVATOR COMPANY AND TRANSFER OF FUNDS
Offered by: Facilities and Communications and Ways and Means Committees
139
BOARD OF LEGISLATORS SESSION MINUTES, AUGUST 13, 2012
WHEREAS, this Board believes it is in the County’s best interest to modify an elevator
previously used solely to gain access to the former jail to gain access to all floors of the
County Office Building; and
WHEREAS, this elevator can serve as a backup to the current elevator and allow the
top floor of the County Office Building to be easily accessed from all floors; and
WHEREAS, in order to properly use this elevator, it will need to be brought up to code,
rotated, and new openings created so as to gain access to the elevator from each floor; and
WHEREAS, the current jail elevator is an Otis Elevator Company elevator and any
modifications to the elevator need to be made by the Otis Elevator Company so as to assure
compatibility of equipment and minimize cost; now therefore, be it
RESOLVED:
1.
That this Board hereby authorizes the County to enter into a contract with Otis
Elevator Company in the amount of $147,300 which provides for the modification of the
current jail elevator in order to bring it up to code and allow access from all floors of the
County Office Building.

Comments made regarding Resolution No. 119-12 included the following:
Legislator Ungermann referred to the Acquisition and Procurement Policy discussed at the
last meeting, and asked if an RFP or bidding process was used for this contract, and if any
local people were contacted. County Administrator Margeson replied that an RFP was
issued, and they did advertise locally. When questioned about the County’s previous
insurance consulting contract with Brian Baty, Mr. Margeson noted that contract had expired,
and Mr. Baty was no longer in business. Mr. Ungermann pointed out that this contract has an
estimated cost of between $26,000 and $35,500 as opposed to the $10,000 we previously
spent for Mr. Baty’s contract. Mr. Margeson explained that the services provided in this
contract are not similar to those provided by Mr. Baty. This contract is to evaluate risk factors
and internal procedures and is the result of discussions regarding the need for a full- or parttime Safety Officer. Before we decide to hire, we need to look at the way we’re doing
business now, and assess to see if this position is needed. Mr. Ungermann asked if they will
be looking into whether we should be self-insured for Workers’ Comp or not. Mr. Margeson
144
2012 ALLEGANY COUNTY LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
felt they would be willing to do that at no additional charge and to make a recommendation.
They will be looking into loss control anyway, so Workers’ Comp would be part of that.
Legislator Pullen referred to the two separate documents from Aldrich & Cox that each
mention the maximum fee of $26,000 to $35,500, and he asked for clarification that they were
not duplicate fees. Mr. Margeson replied that they were not two separate figures. The
maximum fee is just a range of $26,000 to $35,500.

County residents. We are not establishing a system of our own. This issue is very technical
in nature, and we don’t have the personnel with the skills to do that study on our own. It’s
critical that our citizens have access to the technology, and the price is appropriate.

Legislator Sinclair noted that the Governor just released $25 million to address this for
municipalities. We’re in good standing for competing for those funds and other pots of money

Comments made regarding Resolution No. 121-12 included the following:
Legislator Ungermann remarked that this preliminary study could be done in-house. We
have employees that need to step up to the plate to justify their raises. Legislator Fanton
pointed out that it’s not a matter of County personnel not wanting to do these jobs, they’re not
able to. There are special certifications required and special training. We did put out an
RFP, and this is the company we chose. Mr. Fanton also cited, as an example of our people
stepping up, the work on the Landfill storm drain that will be done in-house for an estimated
$50,000 as opposed to an estimate received in the $240,000 range. There are a lot of times
our employees have done what they were able to in-house; look at all the work on the recent
construction projects. Legislator Ungermann stated that he thought we could get the
146
2012 ALLEGANY COUNTY LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
certification to evaluate the bridge, because we have an engineer with his PE.
sometimes we do perform some jobs in-house, but we should do it more often.

PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR:
Chairman Crandall distributed copies of a historical quiz, as a “fun” way of marking the
first time in a long time that the Board of Legislators met in this room. The present Court
Room in the Courthouse is the former Legislative Chambers used prior to the new Chambers
in the County Office Building built in 1976.
Chairman Crandall presented a certificate to Daniel L. Little of Bolivar, former United
States Navy Petty Officer Third Class, in grateful appreciation of his service to our country.
Mr. Little’s service dates were from November 1968 to August 1972. Following Basic
Training at Great Lakes, IL, he was assigned to the USS Tulare AKA/LKA 112 (fastest cargo
ship in the world at the time). Commendations he received included: National Defense
Medal, Vietnam Campaign Medal with 1960 Device, Vietnam Service Medal with 4 Bronze
Stars, Navy Good Conduct Medal, Republic of Vietnam Meritorious Unit Citation (Gallantry
Cross with Palm and Frame), Navy “E” Ribbon, Tet Offensive Medal, New York State
Conspicuous Service Star 4th Silver Device, and New York State Medal of Merit. Mr. Little led
the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag at the beginning of the meeting as part of the Veterans’
Honorary Pledge of Allegiance Program.
Chairman Crandall granted privilege of the floor to the following:
National Society Daughters of the American Revolution Catherine Schuyler Chapter
Regent Meredith Chilson spoke about Constitution Week. This national celebration began
many years ago when the DAR petitioned Congress to designate September 17-23 annually
for the observance of Constitution Week. The resolution was signed into law in 1956. DAR’s
goals during Constitution Week are to preserve the past by educating the community about
historical events surrounding the creation of the Constitution and the men who framed the
document, to enhance the present by commemorating the 225 th anniversary of the signing of
the Constitution with events and programs like this one, and to invest in the future by
reminding all citizens that the Constitution is a living document guaranteeing the freedoms we
enjoy and by encouraging everyone to protect and defend the Constitution so that we may
149
BOARD OF LEGISLATORS SESSION MINUTES, SEPTEMBER 10, 2012
continue enjoying these freedoms. Ms. Chilson also noted that a window in the Wellsville
Chamber of Commerce will be set up to commemorate Constitution Week.
Chairman Crandall made note of the Freedom Shrine documents located in the foyer
of the County Office Building, including the Constitution, dedicated in 2002. He read a
proclamation recognizing September 17-23, 2012, as CONSTITUTION WEEK and asked
citizens to reaffirm the ideals of the Constitution’s founders.
Allegany/Western Steuben Rural Health Network Program Coordinator Melissa
Williams addressed the Board regarding Fall Prevention Awareness. The Fall Prevention
Collaborative of Allegany County has been in existence for three years. Funding is secured
through the New York State Office for the Aging Community Empowerment Grant and the
Health Foundation for Western and Central New York Step Up to Stop Falls Grant, which
includes the Department of Health, Jones Memorial Hospital, Office for the Aging, along with
the Rural Health Network as the lead agency. On September 22, the first day of fall, the
Collaborative will be highlighting National Fall Prevention Awareness Day, which is being
celebrated by New York State along with 46 other states. Allegany County’s efforts,
successes, and outcomes will be highlighted at the conference to be held November 16 at
Lake Lodge in Alfred.
Chairman Crandall read a proclamation recognizing September 22, 2012, as
NATIONAL FALL PREVENTION AWARENESS DAY in Allegany County and urged health
and human service organizations to continue developing and evaluating strategies to prevent
falls among older adults that will translate into effective fall prevention interventions.
Youth Court Coordinator Jessica Jennings spoke about Youth Court Month. Ms.
Jennings noted that for the majority of adults who are breaking laws, that law breaking
proclivity began when they were juveniles. That’s why it’s imperative that we reach our youth
and help to change their attitudes and behaviors at an earlier age. Youth Court does that by
helping youth to realize their potential, focus on future goals, and form an attachment to the
community where they realize they have something to offer. In the past year, Youth Court
worked with 27 youthful offenders, and those youth have completed 366 community service
hours. They have 35 student members who contributed a total of 495 hours. Youth Court
worked with Probation last July to determine the rate of recidivism. Of the 186 youth who had
gone through the program at that point, only 19 percent committed further offenses. In these
poor economic times when it’s so difficult to obtain funding, Ms. Jennings pointed out that
juvenile delinquency prevention programs, such as Youth Court, actually save taxpayers
seven to ten dollars for every dollar invested. Ms. Jennings thanked the Board for their
continued support.
Greater Allegany County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Gretchen
Hanchett and Tourism Specialist Nancy Fusco provided an update on the numerous
initiatives that are going on including: the “1812 Overture,” Manufacturing Council (copies of
the Manufacturing Council Strategic Plan distributed), Business Conference in collaboration
with next spring’s Career Day, signs for three driving tours are up, Legislative Breakfast
coming up September 14, website update, County-wide video program, member benefits
including an energy broker program, Buy Local Initiative, and the Fireball Run, which they are
very excited about. The Fireball Run gives us an opportunity to highlight Allegany County.
They are working with Universal Studios, starting in Ohio, and driving through eight locations
in Allegany County. Each location will have exciting things scheduled, such as a rock band,
and hot air balloons. There will be 40 cars in the race, and drivers will be given coordinates
of the locations and earn points. Nancy Fusco and Bonnie Yox will be representing Allegany
County in the race, driving a BMW X5 donated by Rushford Cottage Rentals. The event will
be live-streamed to 34 million people, offering a great opportunity for promoting our County
(website: www.fireballrun.com). Ms. Fusco noted that one of the most important things we
150
2012 ALLEGANY COUNTY LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
could do would be to go out to the eight sites, because the more they see of Allegany County,
the more chance we’ll have of appearing in the final production. The cars will also be
promoting awareness of missing children. Since 2007, this event has helped to find 38
missing children. There is also an “80 bags for 80 drivers” campaign to include items of
interest from the County, and they’re selling decals for the cars to give businesses an
opportunity to advertise. This will be a fun opportunity to promote the County.

RESOLUTIONS:
RESOLUTION NO. 123-12
RESOLUTION OPPOSING CLEAN WATER ACT DRAFT GUIDANCE
PROPOSED BY THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
Offered by: Planning and Economic Development Committee
WHEREAS, Allegany County affirms its commitment to environmental stewardship
and the protection of our natural resources, and recognizes the need to harmonize municipal
programs and services with the legislative intent and objectives of the Clean Water Act
(CWA), and
WHEREAS, the CWA was not intended to protect ditches and other channels through
which water flows intermittently, nor was it intended to capture seeps, wet areas, isolated
man-made ponds, and other structures not currently subject to the CWA, and
151
BOARD OF LEGISLATORS SESSION MINUTES, SEPTEMBER 10, 2012
WHEREAS, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the United States Corps
of Engineers (Corps) have developed draft guidance on Identifying Waters Protected by the
Clean Water Act (draft guidance) to clarify the EPA and Corps’ understanding and definition
of the CWA that will inform all of EPA’s regulatory programs and policy actions, and
WHEREAS, this draft guidance creates uncertainty, confusion, and would now capture
a significant number of public works activities and transportation infrastructure that will now
be subject to the CWA and its costly and time-consuming permitting and regulatory protocols,
and
WHEREAS, the draft guidance greatly expands the number of projects subject to
jurisdictional determination or CWA permitting which do not currently require such oversight
at great expense to the taxpayers of Allegany County with little, if any, environmental benefit
while diverting scarce resources from other programs that do provide environmental
protection and conservation benefits, and
WHEREAS, the financial impact of the draft guidance to Allegany County will be
significant with roadside ditch projects and ongoing maintenance costing significantly more
dollars on an annual basis to Allegany County citizens due to the need for jurisdictional
determinations by the Corps or CWA permitting, and
WHEREAS, Allegany County believes that it is improper to so significantly change the
scope of the Clean Water Act without legislative authorization by the U.S. Congress or
through the formal rulemaking process to allow public and stakeholder comments on this
critically important and complex issue, now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED:
1.
That Allegany County urges EPA and the Corps to withdraw the draft CWA
guidance immediately, work collaboratively with states and local governments to enforce the
current scope of the CWA while respecting the authority of state and local governments in
ensuring the protection of our water resources.
2.
That this County supports any federal legislation consistent with the above
recommendations and urges its Congressional and State representatives to intercede with
EPA and request that EPA report to them on their response and adaptations regarding the
aforementioned concerns.
3.
That the Clerk of this Board is hereby authorized and directed to forward a
certified copy of this resolution to Governor Andrew M. Cuomo; U.S. Senators Charles E.
Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand; U.S. Representative Tom Reed; New York State Senator
Catharine M. Young; Senate Majority Leader Dean G. Skelos; Assembly Speaker Sheldon
Silver; Assemblymen Daniel J. Burling and Joseph M. Giglio; EPA Administrator Lisa
Jackson; and EPA Region 2 Administrator Judith Enck.

Adopted: Voice Vote
Comments made regarding Resolution No. 123-12 included the following:
Legislator Ungermann expressed his hope that everyone will support this action in opposition
to the change in the Clean Water Act. Rules and regulations like this strangle everybody.
The text of this resolution refers mostly to municipalities, but it affects every private business,
and ultimately the trickle-down effect will impact the prices of food, clothing, home repairs,
energy, and so on. This is just an example of the over-reaching of government.
152
2012 ALLEGANY COUNTY LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
Legislator Pullen agreed that this action would have the federal government and agencies
intruding into virtually every area of every town and county throughout the entire nation. It has
to be stopped, and this resolution is an appropriate way to express our opposition.
Legislator Sinclair stated that the original idea of the Clean Water Act was correct, that being
to protect the ground water and the surface waters for use by the public. New York State
came up with a model program for the implementation of voluntary projects and measures on
farms and on private properties which addressed most of the concerns that were originally
identified, specifically nutrients and bacterial contamination. That program has been in place
for over 20 years and has been very successful. Mr. Sinclair agrees with the original intent of
the Act, but this new proposal goes too far. It’s just a tagged-on extension of regulation to
places it doesn’t need to be, and is not necessary, because the voluntary program has done
so well.

Comments made regarding Resolution No. 131-12 included the following:
Legislator Ungermann referred to a recent news article stating that this effort would probably
only be for the northern part of the County. The resolution doesn’t specifically say that, and
Mr. Ungermann asked for reassurance that isn’t the case. He questioned if the County is
going to be in the internet business, and also about the enhancement of 911.
Legislator Sinclair replied that the news article was incorrect. There is going to be benefit for
the northern part of the County and carriers that are already in existence there, but the main
goal of the program is to deliver the ION access to all areas of Allegany County that are
unserved or underserved. We will be using the existing tower system infrastructure, which
also delivers the 911 signal to all parts of the County, so it will be a similar delivery. The
County is not getting into the internet or the communications business. It’s not unusual for
public/private partnerships to work on the delivery of critical infrastructure. In that spirit, what
we’re doing is meeting a need in the County, utilizing some public funds to invest in
infrastructure that will give quality, consistent broadband access to internet for people who
160
2012 ALLEGANY COUNTY LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
don’t have it yet. It’s also a major economic development tool that’s been identified in our
Comprehensive Plan as something that we need to accomplish. We’re taking the initiative to
use our existing infrastructure to deliver access to the 96-strand ION cable to remote areas
where last mile providers can then pick up on that signal for delivery to individuals,
businesses, other municipalities, and libraries. The 911 system is now functioning well. It’s
been upgraded to high-band broadband and is still in analog mode. This will run parallel to
the 911 system using the same towers. Although it would not be directly connected in, it
could be set up to be utilized as an enhanced communications network for 911 redundancy.
Legislator Cady referred to potential revenue and asked if this could be used by homeowners
to replace other providers, with the fee paid to the County.
Legislator Sinclair stated that if a local company were to tie into this system and decide to
compete with an existing internet provider, then that would be a decision the landowner could
make, but that’s not the intent. As a matter of fact, current providers who are shy on signals
at the end of lines or in remote areas may tie into these portals we’re creating to increase
their bandwidth availability and the quality of the internet they’re providing. The quality of
internet goes down when there are a lot of people on the system. Having access to a big
cable to provide the access helps to mitigate that. So, the answer to Mr. Cady’s question is
yes and no; it all depends on private enterprise, but this will maintain our access, as
municipalities, to clean and very powerful internet connections. When asked about the
payment of a fee, Mr. Sinclair noted that if a provider ties in, they would pay a fee to the
system.
Legislator Pullen noted that when we started looking into the needs for broadband access for
businesses, residents, municipalities, and various service programs five or six years ago, we
looked at what some other communities have done. The initial price tag was around $8
million, and that would have followed roughly what we’re looking at now, which is that we
simply provide the backbone infrastructure, much like we provide roads, and then businesses
and private individuals use that to conduct their business and personal affairs. We received
some assistance from Southern Tier West Regional Planning and Development Board a few
years ago that provided some access in the northeast corner of the County in the Town of
Grove for the Swain community, and that’s provided both cell phone and internet service.
Southern Tier Wireless received some benefit from a grant that Southern Tier West had
obtained from the federal government. That has provided a partial solution. Then a few
years ago, the federal stimulus program was established, and the ION fiber channels came
through; they just recently went online. What we’re looking at now is applying for a $1 million
grant with an 80 percent reimbursement from the State. The State is recognizing that rural
areas are at a disadvantage compared to more urban areas due to the population density. If
the basic infrastructure, the initial capital contribution, can be provided, the operational
expense is much less. The goal then is for private businesses to function and actually to pay
for the ongoing operation. That is the model that is being followed right now by the Southern
Tier West grant program, largely utilized by Southern Tier Wireless. What we’re looking at is,
instead of an initial cost of about $8 million, when we had no funding and no grants, we’ve
reduced that while providing equal or superior service at a cost to the County of $200,000. If
this doesn’t work, and there is no guarantee, what we may see is someone coming back
saying we need to come up with additional money. Given this time of tight resources and the
2 percent tax cap, Mr. Pullen said he would have a hard time supporting that, but he also
feels that we need to give our businesses and residents an opportunity to participate in what
has amounted to a revolution in technology and communications. For minimal cost, this will
give us an opportunity to provide something that others, including the State government,
which also has limited resources, say they think is important. We happen to be well situated,
because just a few weeks ago, we authorized the preparation of a study that will provide us
with a report that will tell us how to do this. The report will give us a road map to use those
funds to set up a system that should become self-supporting and, if it works the way we
161
BOARD OF LEGISLATORS SESSION MINUTES, SEPTEMBER 24, 2012
envision it, will actually take advantage of another facility, which we have done jointly with
ION, and that is the Point of Presence in Belvidere. That will be the channel through which
the different programs will connect to the internet backbone. If that works, we could see a
stream of revenue that would be coming back into the County to reimburse the $200,000 and
fund future development and growth within the County. This needs to be decided today due
to the grant application deadline. Mr. Pullen encouraged support for the resolution. There’s
no guarantee, but this has a better chance of success than anything else we have, with a lot
of bang for the buck.
Legislator Burdick stated he wouldn’t be supporting this. Free enterprise can do this cheaper
than government can, and they can do it adequately. It’s been said that we’re not competing
with existing providers, but Mr. Burdick believes we will be competing if this goes through.
He quoted: “Programs must be evaluated on the basis of whether we can afford them, not
whether we want or need them.” Our County tax rate is one of the highest in the State. Mr.
Burdick feels this is going to take more tax money than the $200,000.
Legislator Hopkins expanded on Mr. Pullen’s comments about Southern Tier West and how
that program was very similar. Southern Tier West obtained a grant for $250,000 for last mile
broadband internet services. The first place addressed was Swain, because of the ski center
and their need for internet and cell phone service. This is a development tool. Now Swain is
looking at building 25 new, high-end homes for seasonal and full-time residents. Those
residents are going to want and need internet service. We wouldn’t have those homes being
built unless we had that service available. This will bring tax dollars and tax value into the
County.
Legislator Sinclair noted that we’re not suggesting that this $200,000 investment be put on
the tax levy. We have monies in unexpended reserve in the millions of dollars in the bank at
less than one-half of one percent interest. Mr. Sinclair believes that if we can take $200,000
of that and multiply it into $1 million in purchasing and economic development, that’s a good
use of our reserve and a good investment. It’s not a “spending down.” It’s going to feed back
into that reserve many times over in terms of development. There’s a difference in spending
tax dollars and using reserves and multiplying it.

Comments made regarding Resolution No. 137-12 included the following:
Legislator Ungermann questioned how long the County has been doing this and why we’re
even in this business.
Chairman Crandall explained that it’s a mandated program, and we have to take care of it
somehow. He believes we’ve been handling it this way since 1989. Former Legislator Lee
Frair put this approach together. There was information distributed last year comparing our
costs to other counties, and we were on the lower side. The Public Health Director will share
that information again to show how we stand.
Legislator Ungermann noted that the school districts are the ones that have the buses, and if
they have handicapped children, they should provide a van and transport them. Mr.
Ungermann wondered why we’re in the education business.
Chairman Crandall pointed out that New York State Association of Counties (NYSAC) is
focusing efforts on this issue.
Legislator Pullen remarked that we’re contracting with the schools because the State has
said it is our responsibility, but the schools already have the buses and personnel in place.
By doing that, we’ve reduced the cost to a level that’s lower than any other County in
Western New York. Although we shouldn’t be in this business, this is the cost-effective way
of approaching it.

A motion was made by Legislator Hopkins, seconded by Legislator Fanton, and
adopted on a roll call vote of 14 Ayes, 1 No, 0 Absent, that the audit of claims, totaling
$3,046,454.43, including prepaid expenses, be approved for payment as recommended by
the County Administrator (opposed: Ungermann). (Allegany County’s Local Dollar Share of
the NYS Medicaid Program paid year-to-date is $7,245,056.) Regarding the audit, Legislator
Ungermann asked how close we are to spending all of the $14 million bond issue for the
Courthouse Renovation Project and if the cost of the renovations currently being made to the
Board Chambers is coming out of that bond money. County Administrator John Margeson
replied that the cost of the Chambers’ renovations was not coming out of the bond money,
and he also stated that within the next 60 days, we will have spent all we’re going to spend
out of the Courthouse Capital Fund. He estimated that the total expenditures will be about
$12.5 million out of the $14 million borrowed.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
Legislator Pullen commented further on Resolution No. 137-12. His own analysis on
why the State charges the cost of transporting handicapped children against the counties
rather than a charge against the schools relates to the state aid reimbursement rates. They
give a lot more state aid as a percentage to the schools than they do to us, so it’s a cost
savings for the State, but this just shifts the cost to the County taxpayers. If it’s a mandated
program, the State should do it through the State Education program, because that’s what it
really is.
Legislator Ungermann reported on the Cuba Garlic Festival. Paid attendants
numbered about 8,250. He also noted that the Civil War re-enactment in Angelica drew a big
crowd, and the Fireball Run stopped in several places within the County. This was a good
month for Tourism.

2012 ALLEGANY COUNTY LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR:
Chairman Curtis W. Crandall presented a certificate to Bobby Boyd, retired United
States Navy Master Chief Petty Officer, in grateful appreciation of his service to our country.
Mr. Boyd was accompanied by his wife Rowena and sister-in-law Mary. Mr. Boyd’s service
dates were from July 1946 to March 1969. Following Basic Training at Bainbridge, MD,
assignments included: USS Randolph; USS Tidewater; USS Robinson; USS Iowa; USS
Tallahatchie County; Fleet Training Center Naval Station, Newport, RI; USS George
MacKenzie; Navexamcen (Naval Exam Center), Great Lakes, IL. Commendations he
received included: World War II Victory Medal, Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal
(Vietnam), Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal with Device, Four Good Conduct Medals.
Mr. Boyd led the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag at the beginning of the meeting as part of
the Veterans’ Honorary Pledge of Allegiance Program.
Chairman Crandall presented a certificate to Office for the Aging Director Kimberley
Toot in recognition of her 25 years of dedicated service to the County. The Chairman
summarized her tenure which began in 1987 as an Aging Services Technician, and she
moved up through the ranks to the appointment as Director in 1992. Most recently, Mrs. Toot
was instrumental in helping the Board to realize the importance of having a nice facility for
our seniors and tying services together with Veterans’ Services.
Cancer Services Program Representative Madelyn Thornton, RN, addressed the
Board regarding Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Cancer Services Program is beefing
up efforts to have everyone screened. The Cancer Services Program is a joint effort by
Allegany and Cattaraugus Counties which pays for cancer screenings and diagnostics for
women over the age of 40 and men over the age of 50. After diagnosis, the program can
help enroll clients in the Medicaid Cancer Treatment Program for payment of treatment
expenses. They encourage screenings for early detection to make recovery easier and to
save more lives. Ms. Thornton noted another grant program, Komen Cares, which is
dedicated to helping women with breast cancer. They assist with gas cards, other supportive
services, and co-pays, regardless of insurance coverage. Ms. Thornton stressed the
importance of getting screened, and if payment is an issue, there is help available.
Public Health Director Lori Ballengee spoke about the Allegany County Cancer
Services Program, a private organization she heads. She thanked the Board for their
generous support in the past. Ms. Ballengee reported that since the program’s establishment
six years ago, this is the first year they didn’t raise as much money as they gave out. They
gave out nearly $30,000 in about a year to Allegany County residents. The number of cancer
cases in Allegany County is overwhelming for the size of the County. The need is huge.
Nearly 84 percent of money distributed is for gas cards to help people get to their treatments.
In six years, Allegany County Cancer Services has helped 236 clients with over $81,000.
Very few people don’t know someone with cancer. The goal is to find a cure for cancer. Until
then, people need to get their screenings. With early detection, cancers are very treatable.
Chairman Crandall presented Ms. Ballengee with a check for $500 to support Allegany
County Cancer Services. These are non-tax dollars from the Legislative Flower Fund raised
through the clambake, and are a token of the Board’s appreciation and support.
County Treasurer Terri Ross announced the 25th Annual Allegany Artisans Studio Tour
to be held October 13 and 14, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. She displayed a “shop local
and save gas map” including 48 artists at 39 shops with a variety of handcrafted items.

Resolution No. 144-12, provides for Allegany County to act as sponsor for applications for
snowmobile trail development and maintenance assistance grants through the NYS Office of
Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation. There is no fiscal impact for the County, which
will operate as a pass-through to the Federation of Snowmobilers for the $108,710. Sufficient
funding was appropriated in the 2012 Budget, so no budget adjustments were necessary.)
Comments made regarding Resolution No. 144-12 included the following: Legislator
Ungermann pointed out that the funds come from snowmobile registration fees, so this is a
self-funded agreement. People who use it pay for it. Legislator Cady noted that he has an
issue with the way the State writes it up. Although they’re taking the money from
registrations, they give it out as a “grant.”
AUDITS:
A motion was made by Legislator Hopkins, seconded by Legislator Fanton, and
carried, that the audits be acted upon collectively and by totals.

Chairman Curtis W. Crandall recognized former Caneadea Town Clerk Dorothy Lendel
for receiving the Local Government Award at the annual meeting of the Southern Tier West
Regional Planning and Development Board in September. Allegany County is a part of STW,
173
BOARD OF LEGISLATORS SESSION MINUTES, OCTOBER 22, 2012
along with Chautauqua and Cattaraugus Counties. The Local Government Award is given to
a local government official for outstanding service and support to the community and the
region. Ms. Lendel provided dedicated service to the Town of Caneadea and its residents for
36 years. She has been a friend and constant source of advice and information to other
Clerks in the area and state, and a supporter and promoter of STW programs, including the
Local Government Conference. Ms. Lendel was recognized for her participation in
cooperative projects with other local governments. Chairman Crandall summarized her
service and achievements and noted that one duty of the Town Clerk is to train new board
members. Dorothy trained Chairman Crandall when he was a new board member in
Caneadea. Chairman Crandall lauded Dorothy’s achievement as a great example of what we
can accomplish in Allegany County. Ms. Lendel thanked the Board for the honor, noting that
she represents all of the 29 Town Clerks. They all do a great job, and she’s been privileged
to work with them, as well as the Tax Collectors, the County Treasurer, and the County Clerk.
Alfred Town Clerk Janice Burdick addressed the Board regarding the duties of Town
Clerks. She was accompanied by four other Town Clerks, whom Dorothy Lendel was asked
to introduce. Ms. Lendel noted that there is an Allegany County Municipal Clerks’
Association, of which she currently serves as President, and some of the Clerks present are
also officers. Introduced were: Vice President - Janice Dennis, Clarksville Town Clerk;
Secretary - Patricia Oliver, Belfast Tax Collector (not present); Treasurer - Melva Clark,
Angelica Town Clerk; Deb Buchholz, Willing Town Clerk; and Sue Wlasniewski, Ward Town
Clerk. Janice Burdick commented that she has served as Alfred’s Town Clerk for 27 years,
and her first Supervisor was Legislator Doug Burdick. In summarizing some of the Town
Clerk’s duties, Ms. Burdick related that the Clerk: takes board meeting minutes, which are a
historical record of the town; is custodian of all town records; prepares abstracts of bills for
board approval; picks up and returns election materials; provides records under the Freedom
of Information Law; administers and files oaths of office for all officials; is licensing officer for
games of chance, hunting and fishing licenses, marriage licenses, and dog licenses; often is
secretary of planning boards and village boards of appeals; and sometimes is tax collector for
the town. The Municipal Clerks’ Association does fundraisers for charitable organizations.
This year, they’ll be raising money for the Comfort House in Wellsville.
Greater Allegany County Chamber Executive Director Gretchen Hanchett spoke about
Celebrate Service/Celebrate Allegany. She was accompanied by Celeste Schoonover, one
of the owners of Swain Resort, and Jonathan Hilsher, Director of Civic Engagement at Alfred
State College. Celebrate Service/Celebrate Allegany is a project developed through
Leadership Allegany. Mr. Hilsher reported that it’s a day of service, a special project
involving college students from the three colleges. They expect about 400 students to
participate this Saturday, October 27, at sites throughout the County. They are in hopes that
this won’t be a “once and done” opportunity, but something that can happen year after year.
It’s connected with a national event called, “Make a Difference Day.” Mr. Hilsher
acknowledged involvement by Leadership Allegany, Houghton College, Alfred State College,
and Alfred University as partners in this endeavor, and he thanked the Board for the
proclamation and their support.
Allegany County Area Foundation Executive Director Donna Sweet was given privilege
of the floor to speak about Community Foundation Week. The Foundation was established in
1983 as a means for the community to create a legacy for future generations. The
Foundation currently is endowed with nearly $7 million in assets; these investments are
entrusted by the residents of the County to the Foundation. This past year, they gave nearly
$130,000 in scholarships to 68 local students, and they provide grants to organizations.
Their annual meeting will be held November 19 at the Crossroads Center, at which time their
new annual report will be available. The annual education reception is held in June. Ms.
Sweet announced a special event planned in conjunction with Houghton College, Alfred State
College, St. Bonaventure University, and the Foundation to circulate a display of a collection
174
2012 ALLEGANY COUNTY LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
of 37 Presidential Christmas cards owned by the Brooks Family in Olean. She also noted
that next year will be the Foundation’s 30 th year. Chairman Crandall presented a check for
$500 on behalf of the Board to the Allegany County Area Foundation. These funds are nontax dollars, drawn from the Legislators’ flower fund, money raised through the annual clam
bake, and used to support a few select County programs. The Legislature feels strongly
about what the Foundation does. Ms. Sweet was joined by Leslie Haggstrom, 30-year
member and one of the incorporators of the Foundation, to accept the donation.

Comments made regarding Resolution No. 145-12 included the following:
Legislator Ungermann remarked that a few adjustments were made in the Budget related to
retirements, and so on, and he voted for that. Then a listing appeared in the Cuba Patriot
showing 592 parcels with unpaid taxes. His concern is that we continue to give raises every
year, but the private sector doesn’t always get that. We keep driving up our legacy costs this year alone by about $690,000, and another $750,000 is projected. That’s $1.4 million
over two years. We’ve got to slow this down. Mr. Ungermann voiced his non-support.
Legislator Pullen stated that the entire Legislature shares the concern about high taxes. The
proposed 2013 Budget is looking at a decrease, although taxes are still too high. In
determining the best way to limit costs and reduce expenses, private industry has found that
top management is one of the key ways to keep expenses under control and find creative
ways to meet challenges. We’ve had some senior management people who have shown a
lot of creativity and innovation, and that is part of the reason some of the actual expenditures
in the proposed Budget are going down. We all want the same objective. Mr. Pullen
supported the resolution, stating that we should be giving encouragement to these people,
not as an automatic thing, but because they are doing their jobs. They should be recognized
and receive compensation to continue providing that same creative, innovative type of
leadership for the County. We’re part-time Legislators, we’re not here all the time, we’re not
the ones with hands-on. We can help set policy, and that’s why Mr. Pullen supported the
resolution. As a policy, he wants more of that type of leadership from our top managers.

radios. Sheriff Whitney responded that the application was specific. Chairman Crandall
noted that there are several grants out there right now that are specific to radios. Legislator
Healy remarked that this is a separate issue. He also noted that although he spoke earlier
about premature, the funds are intended to cover the total cost of the system.
Legislator Ungermann noted that we’ve put up new towers and still don’t have good highband capabilities. Is this going to help that at all? He questioned what we’re going to do
about the areas that still aren’t high-band capable. Legislator Healy responded that the
signal issues are being worked on, but this grant covers a different, separate issue.
Chairman Crandall remarked that there have been meetings to address reception and radios,
but that would be a discussion for another time. It is being addressed.

Comments made regarding Resolution No. 164-12 included: Legislator Cady remarked that
he didn’t know how it could be said that the concession won’t compete with nearby
businesses. Also, in keeping with the rules about no food or drink in the newly renovated
Board Chambers, having the snacks available may cause problems. It may create a mess in
other carpeted areas around the County Office Building as well. Legislator Hopkins pointed
out that a Request for Proposal was used, and everyone had a chance to bid. In response to
a question, County Administrator John Margeson explained that the coffee cart/vending
counter will be located outside the County Clerk’s Office.

A motion was made by Legislator Hopkins, seconded by Legislator Graves, and
adopted on a roll call vote of 12 Ayes, 1 No, 2 Absent, that the audit of claims, totaling
$3,916,959.51, including prepaid expenses, be approved for payment as recommended by
the County Administrator (opposed: Ungermann). (Allegany County’s Local Dollar Share of
the NYS Medicaid Program paid year-to-date is $8,014,136.) Legislator Hopkins pointed out
that the Medicaid payments are now $8 million and continually increasing. Medicaid
accounts for 60 percent of the real property taxes we raise to balance the Budget. If we can
reduce this, we may be able to finally reduce taxes.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
Legislator Pullen and Office for the Aging Director Kimberley Toot announced that
there will be a Volunteer Recognition Program on November 1 at the Cuba VFW at 2 p.m.
Recognizing our volunteers is very important. They bring a tremendous amount of benefit to
the County and to the seniors that receive the services. Also, in relation to the presentation
on the duties of Town Clerks, Mr. Pullen pointed out that they also train and instruct local
Town Attorneys who provide services to the Towns. They train many others besides the
board members.
ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 3:20 p.m. on a motion made by Legislator
Graves, seconded by Legislator Fanton, and carried.

On January 11, 2012, the Chairman of the Board and the Chairman of the
Budget Committee hosted a meeting with all Department Heads, the
County Administrator/Budget Officer, County Treasurer/Deputy Budget
Officer, Budget Committee, and other key departmental financial staff.
The intention of the meeting was to start the budget process early for the
purpose of preparing the 2013 Budget with sound financial stewardship
and effective budget management.

What is the Property Tax Cap?





The property tax levy can only increase by 2 percent in a given year.
However, certain items impact the calculation for each municipality’s 2
percent cap, such as charge backs for real property services, workers’
compensation, payments in lieu of taxes (PILOTs), etc…
This means the 2013 ‘actual’ cap allows the levy to be increased $713,514
or 2.53 percent under the property tax cap legislation.
The 2013 tentative budget calls for a levy increase of $659,983 or 2.34
percent, meeting the tax cap legislation.
The County-wide average property tax rate is increasing by 1 cent per one
thousand dollars of assessed value from $16.88 in 2012 to $16.89 in 2013.

What are Unfunded Mandates?


State or federal programs that Allegany County must provide BY LAW – that
are not completely funded by state or federal taxes.
Programs that you and I as County taxpayers have no choice in paying.
2013 Tentative Budget

and as a whole are increasing from $17,855,460 in 2012 to $18,399,555 in
2013.
Just these highlighted 8 mandated costs (and there’s more than 8) are
increasing by 3.05 percent from the 2012 Budget to the 2013 Budget. The
property tax cap only allows for 2.53 percent growth in the property tax levy.
This represents the structural imbalance of a 2 percent property tax cap without
mandate relief.

BOARD OF LEGISLATORS SESSION MINUTES, NOVEMBER 13, 2012
New York State and the Federal Government
Need to Address and Reduce the Mandated Programs
on our County Taxpayers.
Chairman Crandall provided an opportunity for any members of the public to address
the Board or ask questions regarding the Budget. He then turned the meeting over to the
Budget Officer.
County Administrator/Budget Officer John Margeson reported that following
consultation with the County Attorney, and in light of the fact that no one from the public
appeared for the public hearing, which was advertised and convened to give said public the
opportunity to speak and ask questions, the remainder of the public hearing could be
dispensed with, if so desired by the Legislature. Chairman Crandall reminded everyone
present that there will be a Committee of the Whole meeting on November 13 at 10 a.m. for
further discussion on the Tentative Budget.
Adjournment: The Public Hearing was closed at 7:29 p.m. following a motion made by
Legislator Hopkins, seconded by Legislator LaForge, and carried.

PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR:
Chairman Curtis W. Crandall took the floor to show a brief clip from a recent WGRZ
TV Channel 2 News story in connection with Veterans’ Day. Channel 2 collaborated with
County Historian Craig Braack and did a follow-up story from our Board meeting at the
Allegany County Fair in July. Veteran Douglas Gath spoke at that meeting about his efforts
to bring national recognition to military “Taps” and Angelica native Oliver Willcox Norton,
bugler, who gave one of the first renditions of Taps 150 years ago.
190
2012 ALLEGANY COUNTY LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
Chairman Curtis W. Crandall presented a certificate to Daniel K. Dunham, former
United States Air Force Airman First Class, in grateful appreciation of his service to our
country. Mr. Dunham’s service dates were from June 1979 to May 1981. Following Basic
Training at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, TX, he was assigned to Travis Air Force
Base in Fairfield, CA, as an Environmental Systems Specialist. Mr. Dunham led the Pledge
of Allegiance to the Flag at the beginning of the meeting as part of the Veterans’ Honorary
Pledge of Allegiance Program. Mr. Dunham was accompanied by his wife, Deb, and William
(Billy) Hampton. Mr. Hampton was one of the Marines saved by Corporal Jason Dunham
(Dan and Deb’s son) in Iraq in 2004. Chairman Crandall thanked the Dunhams for the
opportunity to continue honoring Jason, as well as all veterans for their service.
Chairman Curtis W. Crandall read a proclamation recognizing November 10, 2012, as
JASON DUNHAM DAY in Allegany County in honor of the memory of Medal of Honor
Recipient Marine Corps Corporal Jason Dunham for his brave service and unselfish heroism,
and to shine a light of recognition on all veterans of our armed services.
Chairman Curtis W. Crandall presented a $500 donation to Allegany Senior
Foundation President Wallace Higgins, who was accompanied by fellow Foundation board
members Kim Toot, Secretary; Reita Sobeck-Lynch; Rob Christman; Sandy Blake, Treasurer;
and Chuck Schultz (it was noted that Chairman Crandall and Legislator David Pullen are also
on the Foundation board). Chairman Crandall noted that the Allegany Senior Foundation
was started several years ago as a way to take up the slack in funding for services for senior
citizens. The donation is non-tax dollars from the Legislators’ flower fund, part of which is
used to support a select few organizations that provide valuable services for County
residents. Mr. Higgins spoke about the Foundation’s largest fundraiser, Swingin’ with the
Oldies Gala, which was very successful. Funds raised are used to support Office for the
Aging’s Meals-on-Wheels. Other things they are working on are closed captioning for the
elderly and a centrally located senior center. Mr. Higgins presented a $10,000 check,
representing the funds raised by the Senior Foundation through their Gala, to Chairman
Crandall in support of Meals-on-Wheels. Chairman Crandall thanked the Foundation and
noted that as state funding is continually cut back, these donations help keep Meals-onWheels going.
Chairman Curtis W. Crandall recognized Public Works staff for the work done on the
recent renovations to the Board Chambers: Steve Brown, Building Maintenance Supervisor;
Steve Thorp, Building Maintenance Mechanic; Chuck Strope, Building Maintenance
Assistant; Phil Windus, Building Maintenance Assistant; Eileen Shephard, Grounds Worker;
Jeff Bruhl, Janitor; Kevin Crouch, Janitor; Earl White, Janitor; and Betty White, Janitor. Their
efforts on the painting, rebuilding the dais, rearranging furniture, carpeting, and drapes make
a big difference.

Resolution No. 167-12 (Intro. No. 170-12) (RESOLUTION REQUESTING
GOVERNOR CUOMO TO FORMULATE A STRATEGIC PLAN FOR THE DAIRY INDUSTRY
IN NEW YORK STATE) was amended on a motion made by Legislator Hopkins, seconded
by Legislator Sinclair, and carried, by adding InterCounty Association of Western New York
and the New York State Association of Counties (NYSAC) to Resolved No. 4.
RESOLUTION NO. 167-12
RESOLUTION REQUESTING GOVERNOR CUOMO TO FORMULATE
A STRATEGIC PLAN FOR THE DAIRY INDUSTRY IN NEW YORK STATE
Offered by: Planning and Economic Development Committee
WHEREAS, for generations, the dairy industry has been the cornerstone of Allegany
County and upstate New York economies, and
WHEREAS, Friendship Dairies and Empire Cheese are major employers in Allegany
County and major users of dairy products, and
WHEREAS, strong demand for milk by processors/manufacturers directly benefits
local dairy farmers and indirectly the entire community, and
WHEREAS, New York State is recognized as a leading producer of milk and has the
resources necessary to substantially increase milk production, and
WHEREAS, the increasing demand for yogurt, including newer varieties of Greek-style
yogurt, has generated the need to rapidly expand existing manufacturing plants as well as the
construction of new plants for the production of yogurt in upstate New York, and
WHEREAS, this explosive growth in yogurt production in upstate New York
demonstrates the continued potential that dairy manufacturing has as a source of economic
growth and vitality in New York State, and
WHEREAS, New York State is strategically located near several large consumer
markets, and
WHEREAS, most dairy farmers have not benefited from the growth of yogurt
manufacturing in New York, and
WHEREAS, New York dairy farmers continue to suffer from a lack of profitability, and
WHEREAS, New York State milk producers and dairy processors/manufacturers are
hindered by overregulation, lack of innovated credit for the expansion of the dairy industry,
and poor coordination of supply and demand, and
WHEREAS, the economic health and continued viability of New York dairy
processors/manufacturers is dependent upon an adequate supply of milk and is threatened
when the milk supply is irregular or insufficient to meet their needs, and
WHEREAS, there is a lack of consensus and understanding on how to grow New
York’s dairy industry in a way that benefits both farmers and processors/manufacturers, and
WHEREAS, the State of Wisconsin has demonstrated the value of a statewide
strategic plan to grow the milk supply in a way that benefits both farmers and
processors/manufacturers, now, therefore, be it
194
2012 ALLEGANY COUNTY LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
RESOLVED:
1.
That the Allegany County Board of Legislators requests that Governor Andrew
Cuomo form a commission to develop a long-range strategic plan which seeks to encourage
growth in milk production and the processing/manufacture of dairy products in a manner that
benefits both milk producers and processors/manufacturers of dairy products.
2.
That it is recommended that this commission consist of representatives from
New York State dairy producers, processors/manufacturers, dairy cooperatives, dairy
lenders, Cornell University, New York State Department of Agriculture & Markets, and the
New York State Office of Development.
3.
That a position be created and funded within the New York State Department of
Agriculture & Markets to work with dairy producers, processors/manufacturers, and
government authorities to facilitate and expand the dairy industry in New York State.
4.
That the Clerk of this Board is hereby authorized and directed to forward a
certified copy of this resolution to Governor Andrew M. Cuomo; New York State Senator
Catharine M. Young; Assemblymen Daniel J. Burling and Joseph M. Giglio; Agriculture
Committees of the New York State Senate and Assembly; InterCounty Association of
Western New York; and the New York State Association of Counties (NYSAC).
Moved by: Mr. Hopkins
Seconded by: Mr. Pullen
Adopted: Voice Vote
Comments made regarding Resolution No. 167-12 included: Legislator Hopkins stated that
for a long time, the dairy industry in New York has been more of a reactive industry rather
than proactive. The new yogurt plants that have come on line in the state and the increase in
demand for cheese have brought to light that the market needs in New York have shifted
away from fluid milk, and the state has not reacted to it. Wisconsin did a study several years
ago. Their dairy industry had also declined. They developed a plan and became more
proactive by helping to develop more processors and more milk production to supply those
processors. Now their industry has started to come back up. This resolution is asking that
the State look at what Wisconsin did and be more proactive in the dairy industry in trying to
encourage the processing, the manufacturing, and also the development of more fluid milk for
the industry. We’re in a great location for marketing. We should be in a position to capitalize
on what we have, and we haven’t done that. That’s what this resolution should do.

Comments made regarding Resolution No. 178-12 included the following:
Legislator Ungermann noted that although the County is not as close to the “fiscal cliff” as the
state or federal government, we don’t have the enthusiasm to make the cuts that could be
made, such as looking into self-insurance for workers’ compensation, eliminating employee
vacation and sick leave sell backs, and there are too many real property tax exemptions. Mr.
Ungermann also commented on employee raises. We started out with a 52-cent reduction in
tax rate per thousand in the Tentative Budget, and everyone was pretty excited. Then, an
error was discovered, but everyone got their raises; whoever was responsible got a raise.
There’s really no incentive to do a better job. There was a comment in the paper about the
use of another $50,000 from fund balance to bring the tax rate per thousand to a reduction of
2 cents from last year. Mr. Ungermann felt we should have gotten the reduction back down
to the 52 cents.
Chairman Crandall stated that this is a good budget. He referred to the Budget Hearing
presentation on the history of the property tax rate over the past ten years and how it has
leveled off over the last couple of years. The reason we didn’t have a 52-cent reduction with
this Budget was mathematical and informational, not anything to do with the numbers within
the Budget. To have a property tax rate that’s basically flat and actually going down over the
last few years is exceptional in these times. This Board has dealt with the 2 percent property
tax cap, and we have a fund balance that Allegany County never had before. Chairman
Crandall felt that starting off with the County Administrator/Budget Officer, County Treasurer,
and Budget Committee Chairman meeting with Department Heads in January to work on next
year’s budget set a positive tone for the process. We are fortunate to be in the financial
position we are in. The Department Heads should be commended for their stewardship

John Margeson, County Treasurer/Deputy Budget Officer Terri Ross, Budget Committee
Chairman Theodore Hopkins, and Budget Committee members for all their efforts and
monitoring of the process throughout the year.

Chairman Crandall presented a certificate to Kevin Hammond, retired United States

Chairman Crandall presented a plaque to former Public Works Superintendent David
Roeske in recognition of his 37 years of dedicated, professional service to Allegany County.
Chairman Crandall summarized Mr. Roeske’s years with the County beginning in 1975 as a
temporary Engineering Aide and moving up to his appointment in 2000 as Superintendent.
He also listed a number of major projects that were accomplished by Public Works during
that time. Mr. Roeske’s service gained the respect of this Board, the Towns’ and Villages’
Public Works Departments, and our neighboring counties. Mr. Roeske retired effective
October 30.
STOP-DWI Program Coordinator Linda Edwards was granted privilege of the floor.
The annual Christmas Cookie and Wassail Day is provided in recognition of National Drunk
and Drugged Driving Prevention Month. The effort began in 1981 by Presidential
Proclamation to raise awareness of the consequences of driving while under the influence of
alcohol or drugs. In an average year, 30 million Americans drive drunk, and 10 million
Americans drive drugged. One death occurs every 48 minutes nationally due to driving under
the influence, with alcohol-related crashes costing about $51 billion annually. To help ensure
everyone’s safety this holiday season, designate a sober driver before celebrations begin,
never serve alcohol to those under the age of 21, plan safe parties providing non-alcoholic
drink options to guests and not serving alcohol during the last hour of the gathering, and be
prepared to get everyone home safely. The Allegany County STOP-DWI Office will continue
to work with our local agencies for enforcement, prosecution, supervision, and education.
Allegany County United Way Executive Director Barbara Bates addressed the Board
on the efforts of the United Way locally. County employees are able to give through payroll
deduction, and funds raised are distributed to local agencies in Allegany County. United Way
is committed to making a meaningful and lasting impact and is working to ensure that every
community member enjoys good health, every family has a stable income, every child has a
quality education, and every critical need is met. Last year, United Way supported 21 local
programs and initiatives. Over 300 individuals and families received free income tax
preparation resulting in $365,858 in refunds, ACCORD Access Centers were able to
distribute over 600 emergency food boxes, and through their partnership with Allegany Senior
Foundation they were able to equip 50 seniors with Lifeline services. Their 2013 campaign
began in September with a goal of $313,000. So far, they’ve raised $280,000, or 89 percent.
United Way depends on everyone’s support, and all investment stays in the County.
Allegany Senior Foundation Secretary Kimberley Toot spoke about the partnership
between the Senior Foundation and United Way, which has been in place since 2004, to
receive money for Lifeline services. The Senior Foundation gives the money to the Office for
the Aging to consolidate all the funding sources for Lifeline services for our County in one
location. To date, they’ve supported 109 people with Lifeline. Thirty-eight percent of those
have been funded through United Way. Mrs. Toot presented a check for $10,800 to the
County from United Way for Lifeline. Chairman Crandall remarked that this is a good
example of how the Senior Foundation takes up some of the slack in government funding for
aging services. A short time ago, Senior Foundation President Wallace Higgins presented a
substantial check for Meals-on-Wheels; now there’s this one for Lifeline from United Way and
209

the Senior Foundation. Mrs. Toot noted that payroll deduction is a painless way to support
United Way and all the agencies they work with.

WHEREAS, this increased State mandate requires Allegany County to raise the salary
of the district attorney from $119,200 in 2011 to $152,500 by 2014, and
WHEREAS, although the State pays the entire salary and benefits to judges and
justices, the State only provides supplemental appropriations to counties to partially cover the

2012 ALLEGANY COUNTY LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
RESOLUTION NO. 195-12
APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE COUNTY OF ALLEGANY AND KVR SERVICES LLC
Offered by: Human Services and Ways and Means Committees
WHEREAS, Ronny M. Carlin, Karina Carlin, and Vicki Carlin, doing business as KVR
SERVICES, entered into an agreement with Allegany County, acting by and through its Office
for the Aging, to provide meals for the County’s Office for the Aging congregate and home
delivered meals program, and
WHEREAS, the principals in KVR SERVICES subsequently assigned their interest in
that agreement to KVR SERVICES LLC, and
WHEREAS, unanticipated increases in food prices have made it economically
untenable for KVR SERVICES LLC to continue to perform the contract at the previously
agreed price per meal, and
WHEREAS, the ongoing provision of these meals is critical to the health and wellbeing of a significant number of our senior citizens, and
WHEREAS, KVR SERVICES was the only business entity to submit a bid after twice
advertising for bids to provide meals for the program, and
WHEREAS, there does not appear to be any other entity interested or prepared to
provide these meals at a satisfactory price, and
WHEREAS, a minor increase in the per meal price in return for a reduction in the
period of time required for the County to give notice of an intent to terminate the contract will
help insure the ongoing provision of meals while providing the County greater flexibility in
proceeding forward, now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED:
1.
That amendment of the existing agreement between the County of Allegany
and KVR SERVICES LLC, which grants the County the right to terminate the agreement
upon 30 days notice and increasing the price per meal by 10 cents for the month of
December 2012, and an additional 10 cents ($3.90 per meal) for all of 2013, is approved.
2.
That the Director of the Allegany County Office for the Aging is authorized to
execute the agreement amending the original contract.

Comments made regarding Resolution No. 195-12 included the following:
Legislator Ungermann noted that it is getting more and more difficult to project costs. This is
a food service issue, and the cost of food goes up right along with the price of fuel. It’s an
unstable economy. We need to give the contractors some leeway.
223
BOARD OF LEGISLATORS SESSION MINUTES, DECEMBER 21, 2012
Legislator Pullen pointed out that KVR Services is the caterer for the Meals-on-Wheels
Program, which is extremely important for Office for the Aging. They had some struggles
finding a caterer, and this seems to be working well. This amendment is appropriate.
AUDITS:
A motion was made by Legislator Hopkins, seconded by Legislator Sinclair, and
carried, that the audits be acted upon collectively and by totals.
A motion was made by Legislator Hopkins, seconded by Legislator Graves, and
adopted on a roll call vote of 15 Ayes, 0 Noes, 0 Absent, that the audit of claims, totaling
$2,754,261.23, including prepaid expenses, be approved for payment as recommended by
the County Administrator. (Allegany County’s Local Dollar Share of the NYS Medicaid
Program paid year-to-date is $9,360,026.)
GENERAL COMMENTS:
Legislator Pullen remarked that one of his children was involved in a motor vehicle
accident in Erie County last week. Someone turned directly in front of them resulting in a
collision with some vehicle damage. His child was not hurt, but it could have been a very
different outcome. The other driver didn’t stop, which the police said was typical for a DWI
driver. Mr. Pullen wanted to emphasize the message given earlier by the STOP-DWI
Program Coordinator. It could result in a terrible outcome for someone else if someone
drives while drunk. We should all try to encourage responsible driving.
ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 2:47 p.m. on a motion made by Legislator
Graves, seconded by Legislator Pullen, and carried.

PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR:
Chairman Curtis W. Crandall acknowledged the new wall clock installed near the back
of the Board Chambers which was donated by Department Heads in recognition of the newly
completed renovations. On behalf of the Legislators, Chairman Crandall thanked the
Department Heads for the gift.
Chairman Crandall presented a certificate to Marie A. Schappacher, former United
States Army Specialist 4th Class, in grateful appreciation of her service to our country. Ms.
Schappacher’s service dates were from July 1976 to July 1990. (She then continued on until
1993 in the North Carolina National Guard.) Following Basic Training at Fort Jackson, SC,
(the first class to train with the male soldiers, as the Women’s Army Corps was disbanded),
assignments included: Fort Leavenworth, KS; Seoul, Korea; Fort Gordon, GA; Fort
Campbell, KY; Mannheim, Germany; and Fort Bragg, NC. Commendations she received
included: Army Achievement Medal (with one oak leaf cluster), Army Good Conduct Medal,
Joint Service Achievement Medal, Noncommissioned Officer Professional Development
Ribbon, Army Service Medal, M-16 Rifle Sharpshooter Badge, and National Defense Service
Medal. Ms. Schappacher led the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag at the beginning of the
meeting as part of the Veterans’ Honorary Pledge of Allegiance Program.
Chairman Crandall presented a certificate to Norilyn Patrick in recognition of 42 years
of service to Allegany County. She was hired as a Registered Professional Nurse in the
Health Department in 1970, was appointed as Nurse Practitioner in 1995, and held that
position until her retirement in 2002. Norilyn has worked the last ten years as a contracted
employee with the Health Department.
Chairman Crandall presented a certificate to Edwin E. Dibert in recognition of 40 years
of service to Allegany County. Mr. Dibert began his employment in the Department of Social
Services in 1972 as a temporary Clerk (became permanent in 1973), was appointed Account
Clerk Typist in 1976, and advanced to Senior Account Clerk Typist in 1978 (the position he
currently holds). Mr. Dibert submitted the following statement for the record:
“I am only working at Social Services because my Mom pointed me in that direction.
She worked at the County Home in Angelica/West Almond for several years, and she took
me to Personnel to take the test for Accounting. I was hired a couple of weeks later at the
age of 17. I wish to dedicate my 40 years of service at the County to my Mom, Wilma Dibert,
who passed away on October 18, 2012.”

(Memo: Regarding Resolution No. 203-12, the Sheriff’s Office determined it would be
beneficial to have additional supervision dedicated in the Jail; therefore, they requested
replacing a vacant Deputy Sergeant position, resulting from a retirement, with a Correction
Sergeant. The two new Correction Officer positions are based on an analysis that indicates
an approximate savings of $20,000 per year at the Sheriff’s Office budget level and $6,000 at
the County budget level. These positions would be on a Monday through Friday schedule
corresponding to additional manpower required during those days, primarily due to federal
transports. The Sheriff’s Office made this request understanding that if the desired savings
are not realized, they will eliminate the new Correction Officer positions and return to using
overtime for the additional manpower needed.
Comments made regarding Resolution No. 203-12 included the following:
Legislator O’Grady supported the Sergeant moves, but was undecided on whether the two
additional Correction Officers would help with overtime costs. It’s been done in the past, and
it hasn’t had a huge effect. Mr. O’Grady noted that he’d rather pay the overtime than the
fringes on new employees. There was discussion that if this didn’t work out, they would just
eliminate the positions, but that’s easier said than done. He didn’t support the resolution.
Legislator Healy remarked that this issue has been discussed for nearly nine months in
committee and during the budget process. Ultimately, the Sheriff convinced the majority of
the committee members to give it a try. It’s been stated that if they did not achieve the
desired savings, they would return to the original staffing numbers. The Sheriff feels they
should have an answer on the savings in six months and will report the findings then, and he
also stated he would have no problem with elimination of positions. Mr. Healy supported the
resolution.
Legislator Ungermann felt positive, after discussion in committee and correspondence from
the Deputy Sheriff’s Union, that with these transports, we will never eliminate the overtime.
We’re going to spend $109,590 on salaries and benefits for, hopefully, a net savings of
$20,000 over the costs. When you pay overtime, the costs of health insurance, workers’
compensation, and unemployment don’t go up, although FICA, Medicare, and things of that
nature do go up, because they’re based on pay. Also, judging from the letter received from
the Deputy Sheriff’s Union, maybe we should be looking at a part-time accounting person to
alleviate the overtime costs in the Accounting Department amounting to $20,000 per year.
Our legacy costs keep going up, and Mr. Ungermann is concerned about costs down the
road. The State Retirement Tier 6 has capped overtime at a maximum of $15,000, which
should help.
Legislator Pullen noted that the overtime is necessitated by transporting federal prisoners that
we’re housing in at the Jail. That is generating a considerable amount of revenue, and this is
part of the service we provide. You can’t change just one item in isolation without affecting
the others. Mr. Pullen remarked that he doesn’t know the Jail operations as well as the
Sheriff, the Undersheriff, and the Jail Administrator, but he can analyze the numbers six
230
2012 ALLEGANY COUNTY LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
months from now. He felt it was worth looking at. In a way, we’ve hit a home run with the
arrangements for housing in federal inmates. It is helping us to defray expenses. If we
realize $20,000 in net savings, it might be worth it. Mr. Pullen is in favor of looking wherever
we can to find savings for the taxpayers, such as the suggested additional services in the
accounting area.

8 Ayes, 6 Noes, 1 Absent
Voting No: Benson, Burdick, Cady, Curran, O’Grady, Ungermann
Comments made regarding Resolution No. 207-12 included the following:
Legislator O’Grady remarked that he would support this, if there was a plan in place to restrict
the size of the vehicles going over the Caneadea bridge. There have been some ideas
discussed, but without some restrictions, he doesn’t want to be back here in five years
considering the same thing.
Legislator Pullen pointed out that we’re talking about a very old bridge that’s been renovated,
but will never be able to handle a full scope of traffic. It’s a question of if it’s better to have
passenger vehicles and pedestrian traffic cross this bridge rather than having no one able to
cross it. Unfortunately, there’s been some abuse of this. Mr. Pullen agreed with Mr.
O’Grady, but also feels it’s critical enough for the residents in that area to have access
without a very long drive around to be worth this. He spoke with the Caneadea Town Board,
and they are open to trying to cooperate with the County to find ways to limit inappropriate
and unauthorized, overweight use of this bridge.
Legislator Ungermann agreed with Mr. O’Grady. Apparently, ambulances go around; they
don’t use the bridge. The only thing using it is cars, and even two cars on the bridge at the
same time exceed the weight limit. To look down the road 20 to 30 years, he feels this is
232
2012 ALLEGANY COUNTY LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
throwing money away. He understands it’s a historic bridge and the sentiments of the people
in Caneadea, but long range, it’s not worth putting the money into it.

Abatement/Building Improvements) for Probation Office renovations and $150,000 to Account
No. H5633.200 (Capital Project – County Bldg. Jail Floor Renovations) for renovations to the
former jail elevator.

Seconded by: Mr. Pullen
Adopted: Roll Call
13 Ayes, 1 No, 1 Absent
Voting No: O’Grady
Comments made regarding Resolution No. 208-12 included the following:
Legislator Burdick supported the resolution and offered comment on the part related to the
elevator project. Going back to January 12, 2009, we considered a resolution to bond for the
Courthouse Project and County Office Building renovations. The main reason for the Office
Building renovation was to convert the former Jail space to usable space. We amended that
resolution deleting the Office Building renovation portion, which was $5 million. On August
13, 2012, Resolution No. 112-12 moved $177,000 to the Jail elevator project to make the
former Jail space accessible. Today, this resolution moves another $150,000 from
Contingent, and the next resolution moves $35,000 for engineering. That’s a total of
$362,000. Mr. Burdick is in favor of these transfers, because he feels this is moving ahead
on a pay-as-you-go project. This money being transferred wasn’t needed in other accounts,
and that’s good for the taxpayers. We can continue to work on the project next year with inhouse maintenance people, and keep moving in this pay-as-you-go manner to finish this up.

RESOLUTION NO. 212-12
RESOLUTION APPROVING TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT
BETWEEN ALLEGANY COUNTY AND ALLEGANY ARC
Offered by: Ways and Means Committee
RESOLVED:
234
2012 ALLEGANY COUNTY LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
1.
That the Transportation Management Agreement between Allegany County and
Allegany Arc commencing January 1, 2013, and expiring December 31, 2014, is approved.
2.
That the Chairman of this Board is authorized to execute said agreement.
Moved by: Mr. Hopkins
Seconded by: Mr. Sinclair
Adopted: Roll Call
13 Ayes, 1 No, 1 Absent
Voting No: Burdick
(Memo: The agreement approved by Resolution No. 212-12 is aimed at providing a
collaborative transportation system within the County. The fiscal impact in 2013 is $58,000,
and in 2014 is $61,000. These figures are subject to state transportation operating
assistance reimbursement.)
Comments made regarding Resolution No. 212-12 included the following:
Legislator Ungermann requested the current total cost to the taxpayers for bus transportation,
and how much is reimbursed by grants. County Administrator John Margeson replied that
the figure for 2012 isn’t available yet, but it’s roughly $70,000. The 2011 local contribution
was $45,000. At one point, it was $360,000.
Legislator Sinclair questioned the fiscal impact of $58,000 in 2013 and $61,000 in 2014
included on the Memorandum of Explanation. Mr. Margeson explained that’s the gross fiscal
impact. Those are payments that will be made to Arc for their collaborative effort in the
overall transportation system. They operate some fixed routes throughout the County, and
they also operate the Wellsville Express route. Those expenditures of $58,000 and $61,000
are subject to state operating assistance or state aid. Mr. Margeson estimates that after the
revenue is applied against those expenditures, the annual cost will probably be less than
$5,000 out of County funds.
Legislator Fanton extended his compliments to the transportation group for getting the cost
down to this level. Chairman Crandall pointed out that it’s our obligation to transport some
people that we would have to transport in other ways. If we didn’t have this bus
transportation system, it would exceed the $45,000, or whatever the net cost is to the
County’s taxpayers.
Legislator Sinclair noted that there is also a very large population of people who are taking
advantage of our literacy program and employment and training programs that rely on this
system. There are people who are just starting out, or who just don’t have vehicles. We’ve
seen a tremendous increase in the number of riders who are advancing themselves by taking
advantage of some of the other programs. Legislator Cady noted that’s a good point,
because he always disliked seeing empty buses. If people are using them, that’s good; that’s
what it’s for.
Resolution No. 213-12 (Intro. No. 217-12) (RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE
SUBMISSION OF A CONSOLIDATED GRANT APPLICATION FOR SECTION 5311
CAPITAL/OPERATING
FUNDING
FOR
THE
ALLEGANY
COUNTY
PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM FOR CALENDAR YEARS 2013 AND 2014 THROUGH THE
NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION [NYSDOT]) was amended on a
motion made by Legislator Hopkins, seconded by Legislator Healy, and carried, to change
the dollar amount in the second Whereas from $293,000 to $293,900.

BOARD OF LEGISLATORS SESSION MINUTES, DECEMBER 21, 2012
RESOLUTION NO. 213-12
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SUBMISSION OF A CONSOLIDATED GRANT
APPLICATION FOR SECTION 5311 CAPITAL/OPERATING FUNDING
FOR THE ALLEGANY COUNTY PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM
FOR CALENDAR YEARS 2013 AND 2014
THROUGH THE NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION (NYSDOT)
Offered by: Ways and Means Committee
WHEREAS, the County of Allegany is submitting a grant application for funding to the
New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT), pursuant to Section 5311, Title 49
United States Code, for Capital/Operating funding for the Allegany County public
transportation system for calendar years 2013 and 2014, and
WHEREAS, the total amount being sought is $293,900 for calendar year 2013 and
$302,700 for calendar year 2014, now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED:
1.
That the Executive Director of the Allegany/Western Steuben Rural Health
Network is authorized to act on behalf of the County of Allegany to sign the consolidated
grant application for Section 5311 Capital/Operating funding.
Moved by: Mr. Hopkins
Seconded by: Mr. Healy
Adopted: Roll Call
11 Ayes, 3 Noes, 1 Absent
Voting No: Burdick, Cady, Ungermann
(Memo: The grant authorized in Resolution No. 213-12 will require a 10 percent match which
the current agreement requires the transportation provider to pay.)
Comments made regarding Resolution No. 213-12 included: Legislator Ungermann noted
that this is an application for grant money to fund the transportation system so our local
taxpayers don’t have to. If the “fiscal cliff” isn’t averted, and the federal government cuts the
funds, won’t the taxpayers have to pay? Mr. Margeson replied that if that scenario were to
unfold, in his opinion, this Legislature would have a decision to make on whether or not to pull
the plug on the entire program. When asked if these were state funds, Mr. Margeson pointed
out that they are federal funds passed through the state. Chairman Crandall remarked that
it’s not only this program; a large portion of our budget contains monies just like that. We
would hope that the funds aren’t eliminated; if they are, we’d have to make some changes.
RESOLUTION NO. 214-12

BOARD OF LEGISLATORS SESSION MINUTES, DECEMBER 21, 2012
AUDITS:
A motion was made by Legislator Hopkins, seconded by Legislator Sinclair, and
carried, that the audits be acted upon collectively and by totals.
A motion was made by Legislator Hopkins, seconded by Legislator Graves, and
adopted on a roll call vote of 13 Ayes, 1 No, 1 Absent, that the audit of claims, totaling
$6,556,509.97, including prepaid expenses, be approved for payment as recommended by
the County Administrator (opposed: Ungermann). (Allegany County’s Local Dollar Share of
the NYS Medicaid Program paid year-to-date is $9,744,566.) Legislator Hopkins pointed out
that after the mandate relief we got on some of our Medicaid costs, at the end of the year,
we’ll have paid a little over $10 million. It wasn’t a lot of relief.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
Legislator Pullen noted that during the Ways & Means Committee meeting, Chairman
Crandall referred to a report regarding some funding that’s coming from through the state that
will benefit a number of projects in Allegany County. Mr. Pullen looked at them and is
thankful for what we received, but wished it was more. Chairman Crandall and some others
have spent extensive time and effort on this, and it’s certainly paying some dividends. It’s not
all that it might be, but it’s better than it would have been without the effort. Mr. Pullen
thanked Chairman Crandall and the others in Economic Development and the Planning and
Development Committee for all of their efforts in bringing some of this back to the County.
Legislator Sinclair commented on a letter forwarded from the Town of Friendship to the
Development Office which was an approval they received from FEMA for the project we
applied for two years ago to protect the sewer line. That $75,000 project has been approved,
and it’s one of the first in what we hope will be a group of projects approved from our Hazard
Mitigation applications. They are very pleased about this news, as it’s a critical piece of
infrastructure that will be protected.
Legislator Ungermann remarked on funding for the Wellsville waterline extension that
was one of the first things this Legislature talked about six or seven years ago, and he’s glad
to see that finally came through. By the same token, Mr. Ungermann noted that he’s sad to
see that the State of New York state bid for a printer is with a company in Illinois. Mr.
Ungermann also referred to an article in the Governing Magazine entitled, “Beyond
Traditional Eligibility Verification.” If implemented in this County, it could save us $250,000 or
more.
ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 3:03 p.m. following a motion made by
Legislator Graves, seconded by Legislator Healy, and carried.

2012 ALLEGANY COUNTY LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
COMMUNITY SERVICES
2012 ANNUAL REPORT
Allegany County Community Services (ACCS) consists of two major divisions. The
first is the Local Government Unit (LGU) that receives money from the New York State Office
of Mental Health, Office for People with Developmental Disabilities, and the Office of
Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services. ACCS contracts with local agencies to provide
services to Allegany County residents and acts as the local regulatory oversight for these
agencies. Additionally, Community Services provides services within the County, including,
but not limited to, Intensive Case Management (ICM), Single Point of Access (SPOA), and
Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT).
In compliance with the Mental Hygiene Law, the ACCS Board (CSB) oversees the
operations of the department. Policy making functions are vested in this Board which is
comprised of nine members appointed by the Legislature (one of whom is a County
Legislator). The Board is organized with three subcommittees: Developmental Disabilities,
Chemical Dependency, and Mental Health. These subcommittees work with the CSB and
the Director of Community Services (DCS) to provide local planning that ensures the most
efficacious delivery of services to Allegany County residents.
As the executive officer of the CSB, the DCS is responsible to the Board and for
implementing existing policies. The office engages in contract management with provider
agencies and must assure the contractual, budgetary, and regulatory compliance of these
agencies. The office is accountable for processing monthly expenditures and reimbursement
claims from the contract agencies and to complete the quarterly state aid claim process.
During 2012, Allegany County maintained contracts with the following agencies:
ACCORD, Allegany Council on Alcoholism and Substance Abuse, Allegany County Arc,
Allegany County Mental Health Association, ARA, Finger Lakes Parent Network, Housing
Options Made Easy, and Arbor Development, Inc. Annual Reports from these agencies are
attached to the original Community Services report on file in the Clerk of the Board of
Legislators Office. In addition, the CSB and the Allegany County Legislature authorized
financial support to Pathways, Literacy Volunteers, Loyola Recovery Services, Family
Services, and the Allegany-Western Steuben Rural Health Network.
ACCS ensures appropriate, coordinated services to County residents needing
behavioral health services in addition to oversight of contractual agencies and providing
direct services through ICM, SPOA, and AOT. It is also the Department’s obligation to
monitor and approve expenses incurred under the Mental Hygiene Law.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) created many changes to the
public behavioral health system. This process began in 2011 and will continue to be a major
focus for the CSB during 2013. Issues include changes to Medicaid services and most
significantly to case management. It is imperative for the CSB to monitor the new entities
being formed that, theoretically, reduce expense. At this point, it is difficult to see any
improvement in services or reduction in costs due to the new proposals.
Allegany County residents continue to receive excellent behavioral health services
from providers.
The Community Services Department maintains collaborative and
cooperative relationships with other County Departments and Human Service Agencies in the
County and in the region.

2012 ANNUAL REPORTS
CORNELL UNIVERSITY COOPERATIVE EXTENSION
2012 ANNUAL REPORT
Cornell University Cooperative Extension of Allegany County has been able to grow
programs this past year thanks to the support of the Allegany County Legislature. The
Extension website, www.ccealleganycattaraugus.org, brought a wealth of knowledge to
families and individuals in the areas of health, nutrition, life skills, energy management, youth
development, agriculture, economic development, and natural resources.
In 2012, Cooperative Extension saved Allegany County $200,806 in fringe benefit
costs by hiring employees and contracting them out to the Allegany County Department of
Health. These employees filled positions in the Women, Infants, and Children Program
(WIC), Bioterrorism/Disaster Preparedness Program, and Health Education Programs.
In an effort to reallocate administrative dollars to programming, Cooperative Extension
has continued its shared administrative services contract with Chautauqua County.
Under the umbrella of Nutrition, Health, and Safety, 208 families completed 6 to 12
Life Skills lessons. The topics of these lessons are determined by the individual need of each
participant. The program focuses on Food Security, Nutrition, Budgeting, Physical Activity,
and Stretching Food Dollars. Over 1,250 lessons were taught to Eat Smart NY Program
participants, with over 90 percent showing improved nutrition practices and choices. Staff
also worked with 251 individuals in NYSERDA energy savings workshops promoting energy
conservation techniques.
The Environmental and Natural Resource Enhancement program area’s Master
Gardeners provided 1,900 hours of educational programming to residents in Allegany
County. The Master Gardener Program has been developing and expanding its programming
in both children and adult hands-on programming. Because food cost and safety have
become a real concern, Extension hosted programs for new and existing gardeners to keep
them up to date with new ideas, concepts, and varieties throughout the year.
Allegany County youth enrolled in the 4-H Program experienced a variety of activities
that promote positive youth development. Club activities include public speaking, raising and
showing animals, shooting sports, dog obedience, textile arts, natural resources, and
woodworking projects.
In addition to Rural Living and Rural Landowner Conferences, 2012 program topics
included the following educational programs: Invasive Species information sessions,
Commercial Berry and Vegetable Programs, Woodlot Management, Tractor and Machine
Safety, Beginning Farmers, Maple School, Agricultural Economic Development, Farm
Business Management, Organic Poultry Production, Integrated Pest Management (IPM), and
promoting locally grown products. Allegany County Extension’s membership in the Cornell
Vegetable Program provides commercial producers with weekly crop reports, pest alerts, and
timely growing information. Producers can also participate in trainings offered throughout the
region. Allegany County hosted two trainings in 2012.

2012 ANNUAL REPORTS
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR
2012 ANNUAL REPORT
Several and varied activities and responsibilities occupied the time of the Office of the County
Administrator during 2012.
Throughout the entirety of the year, we exercised our responsibility for the conduct of the
collective bargaining process by participating in labor/management disputes, collective bargaining, as
well as labor negotiations with each of the four collective bargaining units that represent County
employees. During 2012, the Deputy County Administrator continued to oversee and represent the
County in the labor/management disputes and grievance procedures. In addition, Personnel Officer
Bob Budinger took a more active role in this process. This continues to be a departure from the
previous practice of utilizing outside legal counsel to handle these matters and provides a savings to
the County in thousands of dollars.
The Public Employees Federation (PEF) unit’s collective bargaining agreement (CBA) expired
on December 31, 2012, and negotiations will begin early in 2013. The AFSCME NY Council 66 Local 2574 and Deputy Sheriff’s Association Council 82 - Local 3989 both have a current agreement
that runs through December 31, 2013. The New York State Nurses Association’s CBA remains
effective until December 31, 2014.
Kicking things off for the 2013 Budget in January and continuing through November, John E.
Margeson acted in his capacity as Budget Officer. With the assistance of the Deputy County
Administrator, Treasurer/Deputy Budget Officer Terri L. Ross, the Clerk of the Board of Legislators
Brenda Rigby Riehle, as well as with the guidance of the Budget Committee, the County Tentative
Budget was prepared. In November, the Board of Legislators adopted a Final Budget constituting
$111,022,335, which called for a 2.16 percent increase in the tax levy and a 0.10 percent decrease in
the Average County Tax Rate. Over the last three years, the change in the Average County Tax Rate
has averaged a decrease of -0.12 percent or -2 cents per thousand dollars of assessed value. This
proves to be evidence of a more stabilized Average County Tax Rate.
The 2013 Budget was the second to be compiled under the stricture of the State-imposed 2
Percent Property Tax Cap. The inability to contain or control increased costs associated with State
and Federal programmatic mandates continued to be a challenge in preparing the 2013 Budget. Just
eight of these mandated costs - Medicaid, Safety Net, Child Welfare, Special Education/Pre-K,
Indigent Defense, Probation, Retirement, and Youth Detention - made up 63.82 percent of the total
property tax levy, and as a whole were increased from $17,855,460 in 2012 to $18,399,555 in the
2013 Budget. In addition, for 2013, just these eight mandated costs increased by 3.05 percent. This
represents the structural imbalance of the 2 Percent Property Tax Cap without Mandate Relief.
As in years past, we continue to attend as many Standing Committee meetings and Board
meetings as possible for the purpose of providing administrative assistance and guidance to the
members of the Board of Legislators. Substantial time and effort are expended in performing the
administrative duties which we are charged to perform as they pertain to the overall administration of
County government.
During 2012, we continued to assist the administration of the Self-Insured County Health
Insurance Plan, oversaw the operations of the Public Beach and Swim Area at Rushford Lake,
administered certain financial and programmatic duties associated with the Allegany County
Snowmobilers Trail Maintenance Program, served as a liaison to the Allegany-Western Steuben Rural
Health Network and the New York State Department of Transportation to assist with the delivery of
public transportation services, and provided administrative supervision to the Office Manager of the
County Self-Insured Workers’ Compensation Plan.
On behalf of myself and staff, I thank the members of the Board of Legislators for the
opportunity to serve them and the citizens of Allegany County.
Respectfully submitted,
Mitchell M. Alger, County Administrator

2012 ALLEGANY COUNTY LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
COUNTY ATTORNEY
2012 ANNUAL REPORT
The Allegany County Attorney's Office provided legal representation to the County Board
of Legislators and all other County offices and departments. This involved the rendering of formal
and informal opinions, legal research, attendance at conferences, attendance at Board and
Committee meetings, individual and group consultations, as well as preparation for and
appearances in Supreme, County, and Family Court actions and proceedings. In addition, laws
affecting County operations were examined and appropriate legal advice rendered as a result. A
wide variety of more ministerial work was undertaken for the Board of Legislators and County
departments and offices. In addition to the review and preparation of numerous agreements, the
following legislation, instruments, and documents were prepared and/or approved: 217
Resolutions, 5 Local Laws, 80 tax deeds, 258 confessions of judgment for the Department of
Social Services, 159 child support satisfactions of judgment, and 4 discharges of mortgage
totaling $46,089.62.
The County Attorney also oversaw the work of outside counsel involved in representing
Allegany County in tort claims and labor-management issues. Finally, this office represents the
Soil & Water Conservation District. Work on behalf of the Department of Social Services, and as
the Presentment Agency for PINS and juvenile delinquency petitions, comprises a substantial
part of the legal services performed by this office. Each of these proceedings requires multiple
court appearances and conferences on behalf of the attorneys in this office. In particular, the
following extensive Family Court work was undertaken: preparation/ prosecution of 36 juvenile
delinquency proceedings, preparation/prosecution of 30 PINS proceedings, and
preparation/prosecution of 234 neglect and 56 child abuse proceedings. These numbers
represent a substantial increase in the number of juvenile delinquency and neglect/abuse
petitions and a slight reduction in PINS proceedings over the prior year. Substance abuse issues
underlie many of these cases.
In 2012, for the first time since 1988, Support Collection work was undertaken in-house.
This resulted in financial savings to the County over what the County would have paid if
continuing to use outside counsel. For calendar year 2012, the Allegany County Support
Collection Unit collected a total of $6,375,675. Of that amount, $466,826 will reimburse public
assistance grants. This represents a slight increase of .68 percent from collections in 2011. For
2012, the County Attorney's Office received anticipated revenues of $430,000 for legal services
rendered to the Department of Social Services, as well as $1,406.25 for services provided to the
STOP-DWI Office. This office also received unanticipated revenues in the amount of $13,906.25.
Thus, revenues generated in 2012 by this office came to a total of $445,312.50, which represents
a slight increase of $1,706.35 over last year. Also, although not reflected in revenue received by
this office, substantial sums of money are returned to the County as a result of legal services
related to enforcing liens for Medicaid and/or public assistance grants. Finally, with the
assistance of outside counsel, this office represents Allegany County in an ongoing lawsuit
against pharmaceutical companies to recoup damages for drug overcharges. To date, this
litigation has resulted in thousands of dollars being returned to County taxpayers.
We continually strive to provide the most cost effective means to address the ever
changing legal challenges faced by the County. This entails the ongoing development of the
professional skills of the four in-house attorneys together with the judicious use of current
technology. In 2012, although taking on more work, this office generated more revenue at less
cost to the County. I am proud of what this office and our County have been able to accomplish
this past year and remain grateful for the opportunity to serve as your County Attorney.
Respectfully submitted,
Thomas A. Miner, County Attorney

2012 ALLEGANY COUNTY LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
COUNTY HISTORIAN
2012 ANNUAL REPORT
Once again, it has been my distinct pleasure to serve as our County Historian and
County Records Management Officer for 2012.
For the year 2012, I presented 79 film and digital slide programs around the County to
a wide variety of organizations and institutions. Quite a few film slide programs have been
scanned into my computer for digital programs. I also scanned many, many film slides I’ve
taken over the years into the computer as well. Many of these I have copied and sent to our
local Town Historians, Historical Societies, etc. I also answered about 205 e-mails, voicemails, and USPS mail requests for genealogical information.
The informal group of our Town Historians, called the Historians’ Roundtable,
continues to meet on a monthly basis at various museums and historians’ offices around the
County. This is a very lively group who enjoy exchanging information and stories of local
history. An average of 10-15 Town Historians and museum representatives attend each
meeting.
The greatest single event to occur in 2012 for the County Historian was to close our
40-year-old Museum and Historian’s Office and relocate the Historian’s Office across the
main parking lot into the former Child Support Collection Building of our Social Services
Department. The lengthy move started in late October and was almost finished by the end of
December.
For the Records Management part of the job, 2012 was a wonderful year, as we
opened our second, very secure Record Storage Building located on the County Landfill
property. Funding for the project was secured through a grant written by Mitch Alger, our
Assistant County Administrator. This greatly reduces our record storage problems.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY
2012 ANNUAL REPORT
The District Attorney hereby submits this summary of his annual report in the severely
condensed format required by Board resolution.
The calendar year 2012 saw the high caseload numbers of prior years continued. The
caseload of all the prosecutors remains at levels far exceeding limits recommended by
National and State Prosecution standards, with a corresponding impact on efficiency and
effectiveness. Budget limitations, with corresponding decreases in the operational abilities of
the office, are the norm. The funding received by this office, while increased slightly over the
years, is still far below the level provided to other prosecutors in counties of similar, or even
smaller, population. This administration, as well as the previous ones, has worked hard to
keep within budget constraints.
Keith A. Slep finished the first year of his elected term as District Attorney, his second
year as DA (the first being as Acting District Attorney), and twenty-third as a prosecutor. The
year has passed quickly, and there were a lot of unanticipated personnel changes. All of
these changes having occurred at the Assistant District Attorney level.
Norleen Enders of Belfast, NY, and Suzanne B. Colligan of Wellsville, NY, served as
the Confidential Secretaries to the District Attorney for most of the year. Suzanne B. Colligan
completed her first full year, having taken over the position in December of 2011. Michael B.
Finn, Amanda B. Finn, and Andrew J. Cornell continued their service as part-time Assistant
District Attorneys during the year. Jeffrey P. Reisner of Little Genesee, NY, resigned and
was replaced by David C. Brautigam, Esq. of Fillmore, NY, in June. The position of 5 th
Assistant DA (which is combined with the 2nd Assistant slot) continued to be funded from the
diversion program for Vehicle & Traffic offenses. Welfare Fraud Prosecution was continued
with funding from the Department of Social Services for the 6 th Assistant position (combined
with 1st Assistant slot). (The policy of the office has been to combine the duties of additional
prosecutor positions such as the 5th and 6th slots, with existing positions in order to avoid the
cost of additional fringe benefits.) At the end of December, both Andrew Cornell, Esq. and
David C. Brautigam. Esq. resigned and were replaced by J. Thomas Fuoco, Esq.
During the 2012 calendar year, 2,710 new files were opened to be added to those
carried over from 2011. Each of these files required the attention of one or more prosecutors,
as well as support staff. In many cases, there are various or multiple crimes charged against
one individual. For statistical purposes we have counted only the highest crime charged in
each incident. The only felonies itemized above are those reaching the Indictment or
Superior Court Information stage.
Of the 2,710 files opened, 978 of these were misdemeanors, 413 were investigations
or miscellaneous or initially regarded as a felony level arrest, 1,218 were violations, and 99
were violations of probation. Of the new files, Assistant DA Mike Finn was assigned 615,
Assistant DA Amanda Finn was assigned 931, Assistant DA Andrew Cornell was assigned
363, Assistant DA Jeff Reisner was assigned 106, Assistant David C. Brautigam had 324,
and at year’s end, Assistant J. Thomas Fuoco was assigned 43. Keith A. Slep, as Acting
District Attorney, assumed direct responsibility for 207 new files, including the pending major
felony cases, as well as exercising supervisory authority over all other files. A Special
Prosecutor was needed and appointed to handle 121 files in 2012, which results from J.
Thomas Fuoco, Esq. having come from the Allegany County Public Defender’s Office.
In conclusion, as in the past, I would invite any member of the public to inquire further
if they have any questions regarding our office and invite anyone with an interest to examine
the expanded report on file with the Clerk of the Board of Legislators, visit our web page, or

BOARD OF ELECTIONS
2012 ANNUAL REPORT
The year 2012 was a year of transition for the Allegany County Board of Elections.
Commissioner Elaine Herdman decided to retire effective August 3, 2012. Richard G. Hollis
was appointed to fill the remainder of her term until December 31, 2012, and then was
appointed to a full four-year term starting January 1, 2013, until December 31, 2016.
Commissioner Catherine Lorow decided to retire effective December 31, 2012. Michael
McCormick was appointed to fill the remainder of her term until December 31, 2014.
In 2012, being that we have been using the optical scan voting machines for three
years, there were no major problems. Voters’ frustration was mainly the length of waiting
time in line to vote. This was a country-wide complaint. The voter turnout for the General
Election averaged 70 percent. The ballot was an average length of 14 inches; therefore, no
major paper jams were had. Fine point Sharpies were provided for ballot marking as well as
write-in votes.
We held 24 inspector training classes, training 146 inspectors/alternates.
General Election, we were 1 inspector short for our polling sites.
For the
The Deputy Commissioners were able to program our ballots on the EMS (Election
Management System) with minimal hurdles. We continue to use Phoenix Graphics for
printing the ballots and absentee ballots.
Uploading of the General Election results to the County website was considerably
faster and more accurate than the previous Federal Election in 2010. The results were read
directly from the SD cards from the machines, rather than the inspectors at each poll site
calling in the results, which is very time consuming and leaves a lot of room for errors. Also,
this was the second year of having the extremely generous help of five Deputy Sheriffs
collecting all election materials to return to the Board of Elections in a more timely and secure
manner than previous years when Town Clerks were responsible to do so.
ELECTIONS 2012:
PETITIONS AND CAUCUSES: There were 55 Republican, Democratic, Conservative, and
Independent nominating petitions filed for County and town positions up for elections. There

Democratic and Republican Federal Primary was June 1, with the last day to postmark and
receive registration forms by the Board of Elections being June 6. There were 18,139
registered Democrats and Republicans eligible to vote. Affidavit ballots: received 7; counted
2; voided 5. Absentee ballots: sent 354; received 159; counted 156; voided 3. Voter
turnout: Democrat and Republican 5.9 percent in person. The mandatory 3 percent audit (or
hand count of all paper ballots cast) of voting machines included Allen and Burns. Results of
the audit were 100 percent in agreement with the machine totals.
265
2012 ANNUAL REPORTS

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
2012 ANNUAL REPORT
This Office of Emergency Management and Fire continues to be the main conduit for all
potential disaster events occurring within Allegany County and the surrounding areas. The office has
taken on more time commitments and additional responsibilities as the State Office of Emergency
Management (SOEM) has increased the regulations, paperwork, and documentation related to
correspondence and record keeping for disasters and Homeland Security. Governor Cuomo has
expressed a lean forward position with regards to Emergency Managers and communicating with
them and receiving reports back.
This past year, we were fortunate in not having any major or severe weather impact our
County. We are always vigilant in working on preparing our County for such events. This office,
along with the Department of Health and 911 Center, has been working on updating our
Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan. I have attended several specific training courses
provided locally though FEMA, including Incident Commander, EOC/IMT Interface, Safety Officer,
and Hazardous Weather and Flooding Preparedness.
This office worked with Alstom and local Emergency Services, County Health Department,
Law Enforcement agencies, and Jones Memorial Hospital in preparing and participating in a drill at
the Alstom facility. We participated with the Allegany County Department of Health, the American
Red Cross, and Tri-County Community Emergency Response Team, along with Jones Memorial
Hospital, Cuba Hospital, and both Cattaraugus and Chautauqua Counties in the joint planning of an
“All Hazard” Drill. These meetings culminated with a State-wide Drill, “Stormwest,” held in March.
This office has also been working on and with several larger events in the County, such as the
Wellsville Balloon Rally, Allegany County Fair, Swain Ski Resort, and “Tough Mudder” to review their
safety plans and work on developing an Incident Action Plan (IAP) for each event. I have met with
and spoken to several groups with regards to general safety, such as the Office for the Aging and
Allegany-Cattaraugus County School Superintendents.
This office has continued to act as the “Course Sponsor” for the New York State Department
of Health Bureau of Emergency Services EMS Training courses. Jeff Luckey is the Administrator,
and Mike Barney is the Liaison. We had a higher retention rate and percentage of students who
certified this year as compared to previous years. The Western Regional Emergency Medical
Council has adopted the National Standards Protocols for the Certified First Responders, Emergency
Medical Technicians, and the Advanced Emergency Medical Technicians in 2012, increasing the
total class hours for each course. The expenses for the courses are reimbursed by the New York
State Department of Health Bureau of Emergency Services.
The “Continuity of Government” and the “Emergency Operations Procedures Manual” were
revised as required on an annual basis. The office is maintaining and reviewing Emergency Plans
for schools, colleges, hospitals, nursing homes, American Red Cross, and public structures, such as
the dams for Cuba and Rushford Lakes on a yearly basis.

EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING ONE-STOP CENTER
2012 ANNUAL REPORT
During 2012, a total of 8,056 visits were made to the Center for career development
and employment related services. Staff worked with individuals who benefitted directly from
intensive and training services such as tuition assistance, wage subsidies, supportive
services, counseling, and job placement. Five hundred ninety-six people were tested for
assessment and employment purposes. Three hundred seventy-six people that utilized our
services found employment.
One hundred businesses benefitted from services that included application
processing, testing for math and reading skill levels, On the Job Training/Work Experience
subsidies, job postings, applicant screening, referrals, and tax credit information. Three On
the Job Training contracts were written which resulted in $4,853 of direct savings to the
employers for costs associated with new employee training and upgrading skills of current
employees. The monthly Breakfast Club was initiated to assist job seekers to become
familiar with employers and their application and hiring process.
Funding from the Workforce Investment Act assisted eighty-six County residents in
specific occupational skills training programs linked to demand occupations for a total cost of
$82,369. Adults and dislocated workers participated in training programs resulting in
certifications leading to careers in health care, education, transportation, manufacturing,
technology, and human services. Ninety-five percent of those completing training found
employment with an average hourly wage of $12.28.
Services to low-income at-risk youth included counseling, work experience, exposure
to post-secondary opportunities, occupational skills training, and supportive services. Fiftyfour youth participated in the Summer Youth Employment Program at thirty-five businesses
within the County. A total of $83,996 was spent on youth programs. We continue to partner
with Southern Tier Traveling Teacher and Literacy West to serve this population.
We provide intensive service to public assistance recipients. Nine hundred sixty-two
applicants were assessed for employability, and seven hundred eighty-six were assigned to
participate in job readiness training, individualized job search, resume development, and job
retention skills. A savings was generated by welfare grant recipients’ cases closing due to
employment and sanctions for non-compliance. Five people participated in Transitional Jobs
with one person obtaining full-time employment as a direct result of this program.
The Center continues to partner with ACCES-VR, Adult Educational Opportunity
Center, BOCES, NYSDOL, and Proaction. We are actively involved with the STAR Pathways
Program, the Greater Allegany County Chamber of Commerce Education Committee and
Manufacturing Council, Southern Tier Advanced Manufacturing Initiative, Regional Business
Services Team, Alfred State College, BOCES, and Jamestown Community College Career
Fairs.
I would like to acknowledge the Center team for their dedication to the customers we
serve and the Board of Legislators for their support.

FIRE SERVICE
2012 ANNUAL REPORT
During the year 2012, Allegany County Fire Department Volunteers responded to 135
structure fires, 288 motor vehicle accidents with injuries, 39 vehicle fires, 80 electrical
hazards, 183 outside fires, and 458 fire alarms. The total number of calls for fire service was
1,121. These were answered by 1,191 dedicated volunteers. Fire departments and
independent ambulances were dispatched from Allegany County 911 Center for 3,281 EMS
calls.
My six District Deputy Coordinators attended all mutual aid incidents in and out of their
districts and conducted meetings of chief officers on a regular schedule to promote training,
safety, and address concerns. They have also been tasked with being my primary contact
with regard to information gathering as we work towards implementing our new high-band
radio system.
My ten Deputy Fire Investigators responded to 42 incidents to assist the fire chief in
determining the cause. This year, we had two major incidents: a triple fatal fire in Bolivar
and the natural gas explosion in Alfred. These fire investigators performed over 450
investigation hours and over 150 hours on continuing education training. My office is often
requested to provide fire investigation reports to insurance companies and local and state
police.
My three Deputy Hazardous Materials Coordinators continue to respond and maintain
our two haz mat trailers and one tow vehicle.
Our four local State Fire Instructors taught 20 fire classes with 377 hours of instruction.
I also set up two classes that were taught by state fire instructors out of the fire academy.
These two classes were Haz Mat Technician and Water Rescue Operations. In addition, I
set up a Clan (Meth) Lab Awareness Training that was attended by 140 Fire and EMS
personnel. In total, we had 405 students attend 4,859 hours of County-level training. These
numbers do not reflect any department or individual hours outside of the training that was
offered though my office.
My office also assisted with several grants in 2012. Two of these were supported
financially by the Board. Working with Grantmaster, Inc., two regional Fire Act Grants were
submitted, one hosted by William P. Brooks Hose Co. representing 17 Fire and EMS
agencies, and one by the Belmont Fire Department representing six Fire and EMS agencies.
These two grants were offered to assist any Fire and EMS agency in the County with
obtaining new high-band radios. I also assisted the Sheriff's Office with information for their
Interoperability NYS Grant (911) on needs of the Fire and EMS Service. My office also
assisted various fire departments with guidance and information for their own Fire Act Grant
applications.

We investigated 204 communicable disease cases.
We gave 3,528 doses of vaccine to 2,560 people of all ages.
We monitored 776 lead screenings and are case managing 12 new children with
elevated lead levels.
We provided family planning services to 991 clients.
WIC sees a total of 1,194 people every 1-3 months and generates $1,099,329 in
revenue to local grocery stores and pharmacies.
WIC provided $16,680 of Farmer’s Market checks, assisting local farmers.
Our WIC Program has a breast fed only rate of 81 percent, while WNY rate is 45
percent, and NYS rate is 20 percent.
Our Preschool Program evaluated 124 children, with 105 qualifying for services.
Early Intervention served 214 children, 22 more than last year.
Our Cancer Services Program screened 434 people, with 12 cancers detected.
Komen Kares Program aided 57 women with breast cancer treatment expenses.
The Health Education Division provided hundreds of educational sessions to more
than 1,000 County residents, including school children.
The Environmental Health Division provided 4,362 services to County residents and
businesses, including Septic System Permits/Inspections, Loan Surveys, Rabies
Prevention and Control, Youth Tobacco Prevention, Food Protection, Community
Sanitation (Tanning Beds, Tattoo/Body Piercing Shops, Pools, Beaches, Children’s
Camps, Hotels/Motels, Campgrounds, and Mobile Home Parks), Public Water Supply
Protection, and Public Health Complaints.
The Health Department began 2012 with a lower dollar amount ($582,754 less) in
appropriations than 2011. Though budgeted revenue was also down in 2012, it was only
$239,345 less than 2011. So we started 2012 needing $343,409 less than 2011. For 2012,
we budgeted $2,949,755 in revenue, and have brought in $2,335,947, for a deficit of
$613,807. However, we have major State Aid dollars that still need to be credited, and other
grant monies as well. I project we will break even or end in the black for revenue. We
budgeted $4,205,279 in appropriations, and we have used $3,496,302. We have a reserve
of $708,976, though there are still some appropriations that need to be deducted. As you can
see by viewing the last page of the report (the full report is on file in the Clerk of the Board of
Legislators Office), every Health Department Program, except the Medical Examiner/Coroner
(whose expenses we cannot internally control) and Komen Grant, ended the year spending
less money than was budgeted! A well-deserved congratulations to all the Program
Managers!

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY
2012 ANNUAL REPORT
The Industrial Development Agency focused our collective efforts in the development
of commerce within the County through the retention, expansion, and attraction of business
and services.

Swain Ski Resort: Successfully closed on the lease/lease-back transaction for the
Swain Recreation Center, LLC. The successful transition allowed for continual
operation, the retention of several hundred seasonal employees, improvements to the
facilities, and retention and expansion of sales tax revenue to the County.

Lufkin/RMT:
Successfully completed the lease/lease-back resolutions and
transactions.
Lufkin, a global company, purchased RMT (Rotating Machine
Technology) several years ago. As their business base grew, a new facility was
necessary. After an extensive search, the decision was made to relocate to a vacant
45,000 square foot facility near the Wellsville Airport. The extensive renovations and
construction totaled over $5,200,000 and expanded their facility to over 55,000 square
feet. Lufkin/RMT also expects to increase its workforce by over 50 percent.

Crossroads Commerce Center/Access Allegany: The Crossroads Commerce
Center has been totally occupied for the last several years. In addition to
Development, Planning, IDA, Tourism, and EMT Training, the Center is also home to
the ACCORD Business Center and Computer Lab. The Greater Allegany County
Chamber of Commerce is also situated at this facility as is Genesee River Wilds, Inc.
The Center saw over 325 various meetings held during the last calendar year. Plans
continue for a Park & Ride lot for the County’s Public Transportation Bus System –
Access Allegany.

Crossroads Development:
Continued focus on project content, timing, and
financing. Project remains centered on travel related services (fuel, convenience, and
hospitality). The national economy has made progress slower than expected, but a
project of the highest possible quality is the ultimate objective.

Broadband Service: The Allegany County Broadband Project will create a Countywide platform for providing access to an existing network, delivering broadband to 28
local communities and 17,440 households in Allegany County that are currently
without broadband service.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
2012 ANNUAL REPORT
The Department of Information Technology continued to work with Public Works on
the renovations for the Department of Motor Vehicles and the District Attorney’s new area in
the Courthouse north wing. It is our responsibility to make sure we have enough data drops
in each office to accommodate their office equipment. Information Technology provides the
wires, switches, and jacks for each drop that has to be run. Renovations were also done to
the Support Collection Building which allowed us to bring two more departments onto our
network. A total of three departments were added to our existing network, which saves
money and time. Having departments that were outside the complex brought back into the
complex cut down on technician response time, and phone and network equipment
expenses.
The Department of Information Technology was very busy with the implementation of
the new software for the financial/payroll system that went live in April. The new software is
web based, and each user needed to be created within the software by this office for security
purposes. We are responsible for loading updates from New World Systems and making
sure that necessary Microsoft updates are applied if necessary. This software runs on virtual
servers and replaces the software we used to run on the AS400.
The Department of Information Technology continues to service all computers,
computer-related equipment, software, and telephone equipment throughout the County with
a staff of four people. The technicians troubleshoot all computers, servers, printers, and
connectivity for all departments located at the Belmont facilities as well as facilities located in
Wellsville, Friendship, and Alfred. Our support involves the purchase of new computers,
setting them up, and installing the software needed for the employee to do their job. We
issue mobile devices that function as personal information managers for employees who are
on the road and have a need for such device. We are instrumental in software purchases to
aid departments to do business more efficiently. The following departments depend on us for
network connectivity, phone support, and technical expertise:

PARKS AND FORESTS
2012 ANNUAL REPORT
The Allegany County Forests consist of over 2,000 acres of designated forestland.
The County Forests are managed by the Soil & Water Conservation District for the sale of
forest products, continued growth, wildlife habitat, and recreation. In 2012, the District
utilized a District employee, Scott Alsworth, to mark, cruise, and manage the sale of Countyowned timber.
In 2012, the final County Forest Management Plan was published. Paul Kretser and

2012 ANNUAL REPORT
The year 2012 was a very productive year for the department. Several bridge
projects, road maintenance projects, landfill closure of cells 6 and 7, and the finalizing of the
Courthouse project, in addition to our regular workload, presented challenges to our staff. My
thanks go out to our employees for their versatility, dedication, and hard work. Also, my
thanks go to the County Legislators for their support and dedication.
A project for the resurfacing of County Road 10 in the Towns of Ward, Alfred, and Scio
was completed. Bridge #08-16 on County Road 16 in the Town of Belfast and Bridge #20-14
on County Road 4 in the Town of Hume were completed. All three of these projects were
funded with 80 percent Federal Aid and 15 percent State Marchiselli Aid.
Public Works crews completed/started two bridges on the County Road System and
completed six Town structures. The Town of Bolivar had a composite deck bridge installed
on Pleasant Street, and their Davis Street Bridge was completed.
CHIPS aid in the amount of $1,987,293 was received from New York State. There
were 16.07 miles of road Hot Mixed paved. Aid in the amount of $387,293 was used on a

The departments of Weights and Measures, Youth Bureau, and STOP-DWI were moved from
the Cooperative Extension Building into this building. The County Historian will also be relocating to this location.
These accomplishments, along with our regular workload, were handled by our
dedicated and professional staff. My thanks to them, for without them, none of this would
have been possible. I would also like to thank the County Legislators for their continued
support of Public Works.

2012 ANNUAL REPORT
In compliance with Section 1532 R.P.T.L.
County Reporting: Allegany
Reporting Period: Calendar Year 2012
Major Functions:
Maintenance of Assessment Rolls, Tax Rolls, Tax Maps, and
Assessor Training
MAINTENANCE OF ASSESSMENT ROLLS AND TAX ROLLS: Assessment Rolls, Tax
Rolls, Tax Bills, Cross Reference Listings, Change of Assessment Notices, Sales
Transmittals, and Special Reports were all processed by Allegany County. This includes the
19 School Districts, 29 Towns, and 10 Villages that have assessable property in Allegany
County. There are 29 towns with the Real Property System on their own computers, and
they were responsible for their own processing in 2012. We provided program and technical
support for the Real Property System for these towns.
TAX MAP MAINTENANCE: Tax maps were maintained for all 29 towns in the County.
Copies of new deeds, land contract sales, and property transfer reports (RP-5217s) were
delivered daily by the County Clerk’s Office. Split-offs of property sales are plotted on the
maps; also, map overlays and new tax map index cards are generated. The overlays and a
copy of the index cards are sent to the assessors along with copies of the deeds and property
transfer reports. There were 1,703 transfers in Allegany County in 2012. Revenue from the
sale of tax maps, deed reviews, and pictometry photos was $12,827.18. All tax maps have
been digitized, and the NYSORPTS has approved and certified them for use. Two thousand
ten marked the first year that this office used a Geo Database system to maintain the tax map
information. All tax maps have also been updated to the NAD83 projection, making our data
more compatible with other data throughout the State.
ASSESSOR TRAINING: Assessors in New York State must meet minimum training
requirements. When assessors do not meet these requirements, they can be removed from
office. We have coordinated assessor training with the State Office of Real Property Tax
Services. Many of the assessors in Allegany County took advantage of the consolidated
training courses offered by the State Office of Real Property Tax Services. The Allegany
County Assessors Association met monthly, and several training seminars were conducted at
these meetings.
DIRECTOR’S ACTIVITIES: This year, our office has been working on several continuing
projects. We continue to work on our GIS capabilities and are now looking for new ways to
assist other departments with this information. We are always working on our efforts to
incorporate the pictometry photos, GIS maps, and tax maps with the RPS V4 system. We
work closely with Southern Tier West to improve the quality of GIS and tax maps that we
provide through the County website. We are working with the County Treasurer’s Office in
putting together the County catalog of tax sale properties with our assessment information
and photos provided by the assessors. We continue to update and upgrade our assessment
information via our internet website. I remain an active member of the Western Region
County Directors’ Association and the New York State Directors’ Association. I attended the
Fall Training Conference in Syracuse, NY, and continue to host the monthly County
Assessors Association meetings where we continue to assist them in their efforts to maintain
equity throughout the County. I would like to thank my staff for their efforts and hard work,
and the Board of Legislators for their continued support.

2012 ANNUAL REPORTS
STOP-DWI PROGRAM
2012 ANNUAL REPORT
In 2012, the Allegany County STOP-DWI Program completed 28 years as a
community-based resource totally funded by drunk driver fines. The 2012 budget of
$138,132 was expended to provide a variety of services to the community to battle drunk
driving. Funding from the agency aided in increased enforcement, prosecution, and
supervision of offenders as well as improving education efforts and public information. The
agency relies on positive partnerships with law enforcement, Probation, the District Attorney’s
Office, town and village officials, and not-for-profit organizations.
During the year, funding was provided to nine municipalities. All of these departments,
the New York State Police, and the NYS University Police participated in unannounced DWI
patrols. A total of 267 alcohol-related arrests were made in 2012. All agencies in the County
participated in Alfred’s Hot Dog Days Blanket Patrol. Departments in the County also
participated in a State-wide crackdown on St. Patrick’s Day. The number of DWI arrests
went up this year after six years of falling numbers. There were two fatalities in the County
this year.
The STOP-DWI Office continues to provide funding to the District Attorney’s Office for
an ADA and secretary to assist prosecutions of DWI arrests. The Probation Department
received funding for the year 2012 to be applied toward salaries for a Probation Officer and
an Account Clerk to assist in the collection of fines, preparation of pre-sentence
investigations, and supervision of those convicted of DWI offenses.
The Victim Impact Panel, collaboratively administered by this agency, Probation, and
the Allegany Council on Alcoholism and Substance Abuse, continued to be a viable tool for
offender accountability and a method of Restorative Justice for victims of DWI crimes. In
2012, four Victim Impact Panels were held with 171 defendants attending. This year,
defendants attending the panels continued paying a fee, helping to financially support the
program. At the end of the year, the fee was increased to the State-wide average of $25.
The STOP-DWI Program continued to provide prevention and education services to
youth and adults in the County. The agency supported the local SADD chapters by
sponsoring the Leadership Training Conference in October.
This year, the SADD
Conference educated students regarding bullying and synthetic drugs. Donations were made
for school-based drug and alcohol-free parties to educate students about the hazards of
drinking and driving. A donation was also made to the Allegany County Counselor’s
Association in support of their annual basketball tournament. This provides college
scholarships to local students through a positive holiday activity. Finally, the STOP-DWI
Program supports local radio programs and public service announcements promoting STOPDWI efforts.
STOP-DWI is grateful for the efforts of local and State legislators who have lobbied to
increase sanctions for repeat offenders, including Leandra’s Law, and for tighter controls on
alcohol sales to minors.

TOURISM
GREATER ALLEGANY COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
2012 ANNUAL REPORT
A marketing plan was developed and sent to the New York Empire State Development
(ESD) Regional Council for approval in November of 2012 describing our marketing plan
based on County, regional, and state objectives and statistics.
In an effort to keep the public informed, the Chamber of Commerce and Tourism
Office have continued to maintain and update our respective web sites and added Facebook.
We rolled out a smart phone app for tourism, designed for both the android and IPhone
marketplaces, which launched this year in the fall of 2012. This is a free app which can be
installed on your smart phone through the app store by searching “Allegany County Tourism”
or “Discover Allegany County.”
Through regional and County efforts, we attended many shows and fairs. We also
participated in two film productions: “Fireball Run” through Universal Studios, generating
more than $34 million in promotional marketing/efforts with this whole production, and “1812
Overture Live” event through Time Warner.
We were able to secure bus tour stops with a global tour bus company, Country Travel
Discoveries, that will continue in 2013. In the coming year, we will continue to develop our
driving tours, Ambassador program, “Bounty of the County” program, research and
development for an Amish Trail, Underground Railroad project (Freedom Journey), and the
progress made with the ACMC Manufacturing Council. These projects are designed to foster
and increase tourism and economic development for Allegany County.
We have developed promotional campaigns utilizing radio, media, and print
advertising in and out of the County to promote Allegany County and the many festivals and
events we offer. We have set up a regular bi-weekly spot with the local radio station to be
used through multiple radio sources. We will also add television spots and other multimedia
applications through Nexstar Broadcasting Group, Inc. next year through a program called
“All in a Day’s Drive.”
We have continued to maintain and improve the quality and content of our brochure
series catering to the specific traveler and/or season.
These brochures include:
Spring/Summer/Fall, Scenic Drives, Festivals & Events, Artisans, Fall/Winter/Spring, Hunting
& Fishing, and Historic Allegany County. The positive response to the brochures continues to
encourage us to improve content and distribution, but also demonstrates the need to develop
an Allegany County Travel Guide that highlights and covers all aspects of Allegany County
for a comprehensive representation of the County in the coming year.
In 2012, because of state contribution in funding, we were able to enhance our
marketing exposure, increasing some advantages in creating more flexible advertising
templates, which in the long run will save design dollars that can be used on print media and
other marketing efforts.
We continue to adhere to all state guidelines throughout the year in good faith.
We prepared and submitted the Annual RFP for the “I Love NY” funding for 2013 along
with all necessary paperwork. That funding has now been approved for 2013, for $58,135.
This is an increase of $19,285 from last year’s grant funding.

advocates in the following areas: service connected compensation claims, pension benefits,
veterans’ home loans, New York State Tax Exemptions for Real Property, education benefits,
burial and death benefits, working closely with local funeral directors so veterans can have
the proper military burial rituals, burial markers, insurance claims, correcting and having
DD214 discharge papers recorded at the County Clerk’s Office, assisting veterans and
widows in completion of Annual Income Reports for the VA, ordering military medals,
acquiring veterans’ medical and personnel records to ensure the maximum benefits, VA
approved home modification, and veterans’ identification cards. We also work closely with
nursing home social workers, VA social workers, Department of Social Services, Employment
and Training, and Office for the Aging to ensure veterans are receiving benefits, advise all
Veterans’ service organizations of pending VA directives, and provide veterans to lead the
Pledge of Allegiance at County Board of Legislators meetings.
Some 2012 Highlights:
The Veterans’ Service Agency continues to reach out to all veterans in Allegany
County. In 2012, we made contacts with 2,314 veterans and family members. This number
reflects an overall increase of 8 percent, or 170 more contacts than in 2011.
By forming a solid working relationship with nursing home and VA social workers, this
office has reduced the backlog of veterans and widows in nursing homes who were waiting to
submit Aid and Attendant claims. We are currently able to meet with these individuals the
month they go into the nursing home so claims can be submitted in a timely manner. In the
past, it has taken months to submit claims. This office provided 53 out-of-office contacts with
individuals who could not make it to the office. This number continues to decline due to
building accommodations. There were 87 applications submitted for grave markers. We
provided over 300 Veterans’ Identification cards for Veterans’ Discounts. These individuals
were not counted in the 2,314 contacts for the year.
The Veterans’ Office assisted the Wellsville Rod and Gun Club in receiving grant
money to modify their firing lanes to accommodate disabled veterans and sponsor veteran
shooting competition. We assisted the Allegany County Vietnam Veterans’ Organization with
grant money to complete a handicap accessible deck for their meeting hall. The Veterans’
Office received $17,058 from the Office of General Services due in part to our ability to
exceed contact requirements. This was an increase of $8,500 over previous years.
The Veterans’ Office assisted in providing all Korean War Veterans in Allegany County
with a Department of Defense certificate of appreciation for service rendered during the
Korean War from the Secretary of Defense.
The County Veterans Necrology Report for 2012 is as follows: WWII - 62; Korean War
- 54; Vietnam - 36; Peace Time - 12; Active Duty (Persian Gulf) - 1; for a total of 165. This is
an increase of 27 over 2011.

2012 ALLEGANY COUNTY LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
According to the Geographic Distribution of VA Expenditures dated April 2011,
compared to counties with 7,000 veterans and less, Allegany County ranked second in
securing money due to our veterans to a tune of $21,733,000. I feel we have exceeded that
sum again in 2012.
The employees of the Veterans’ Service Agency, along with their primary duties, are
involved with numerous other veterans and auxiliary organizations providing assistance with
Veterans’ funeral luncheons, breakfasts, fundraising, and medical appointments. The
employees also serve as officers, trustees, and Board of Directors member to County
organizations to promote Veterans’ service in the County. The vast majority of these
obligations are at no cost to Allegany County.

2012 ANNUAL REPORTS
WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
2012 ANNUAL REPORT
The year 2012 began with the annual reports to the County and State being filed. I
again tried to organize my duties to eliminate the amount of repetition that occurred in
previous years. I felt that some reduction was accomplished, although, as I get better
notification by businesses when seals are broken or problems arise with devices, and repeat
inspections are up proportionally. I was able to attend my State School this year and thus
gain valuable information and training. I had stations that upgraded their pumps to enable
credit card sales.
This year, I tested over 200 establishments with over 800 inspections made. The ten
grocery stores and seven other food store/delis were checked. Thirty-three commercial gas
stations, including two marinas and the airport, were tested, inspected, and approved. The
number of fuel pump inspections is down somewhat this year, because I only checked low
and high grade and not midgrade because of the cost of fuel. I used the gas samples to
check the midgrade octane with no obvious errors. This year, 114 gas and diesel samples
were taken under the NYS Octane Testing Program, with three retests required. These were
investigated and corrected. Fourteen pharmacies were tested, inspected, and approved.
Eleven of sixteen active truck scales were tested. Twenty-seven bulk tanks were checked
and/or recalibrated, with twelve being new tanks. This brings to 90+ farms that have been
checked in the last five years. There was one gas station reopened, with two closing and
several changing brands this year. Device test summary as follows:

Rechecked this year was a flow meter at Friendship Dairies to help in checking the
load weights from trucks as compared to bulk tank chart readings.
There is now a State-wide pricing accuracy law. When I get any complaints, I will
follow up with inspections. I try not to cause problems where none exist at present. Some
businesses in our area do not always get updates on some of the new regulations or
understand, and I am there to explain the details. Most want to be in compliance, but don’t
know what they need to do.
I had a few phone inquiries, but no written complaints. Most were about devices
(mostly Indian gas stations) in the County, and one was about tax on a gallon of gas. When
prices were highest, I had many complaints on fuel that were subsequently sampled and
found to be within tolerance. I also had reports on pump jump ($ charge activating prior to
fuel being dispensed). All violations found during testing and inspecting were explained to
owner and/or manager and corrected at that time or in a period of time allowed by the
Director. This department has followed up on all calls for assistance and will continue to do
so.

All employees, including part-time, temporary seasonal, summer help, and Job Trak,
must have a pre-employment physical. In addition, all volunteer firefighter and volunteer
ambulance members are required, under the Local Law, to have a physical before acting in
the line of duty.
Safety awards were presented at luncheons for the Towns, Villages, and County
Public Works Department employees with no lost time accidents in 2011. This marked the
sixteenth year of awards to volunteer fire companies and ambulance corps for 100 percent
physical compliance and no lost time claims. Twelve organizations were recognized.
We continue to work closely with our Claims Administrator (EBS-RMSCO) in providing
savings to the plan.

2012 ANNUAL REPORTS
YOUTH BUREAU
2012 ANNUAL REPORT
During 2012, the Office of Children and Family Services allocated $47,415 to Allegany
County for youth programs. Of this amount, $11,645 supported three Special Delinquency
Prevention Programs; $13,049 was granted to twelve municipalities, including Allegany
County, for the operation of Recreation Programs; $6,523 was used to offset administrative
costs of running the Youth Bureau; $11,700 was allocated to six Youth Service Programs
directed toward Youth Development; and $4,498 was used to fund three County programs
using Youth Initiative monies. Over 12,000 youth participated in 24 programs funded through
the Youth Bureau.
The Youth Bureau continues to actively collaborate with governmental, civic, and notfor-profit agencies throughout Allegany County in order to meet the needs of all County
youth. For example, as a member of the Partners for Prevention in Allegany County (PPAC)
and several of its sub-committees, this agency continues to work with others to address
identified gaps in services to our County youth and families. Significant time and effort is
spent on initiatives to reduce risk factors leading to alcohol/substance use, teen pregnancy,
violence, and school dropout. The PPAC collaborative effort is working to create a healthy
environment for our youth. The Director continues to be a member of many boards and
committees, including the Youth Court Board and Traffic Safety Board, which address needs
of our youth.
The Bureau continues to work with other agencies to provide assistance to troubled
youth so that they may successfully remain in the community. Specifically, funding for these
“high risk” youth is granted to programs such as Allegany Council Prevention Education and
Week of Alternatives, Mental Health Association Compeer Program, and Literacy West
Success Tracks. Through these programs, targeted youth are given jobs, mentored, learn
life skills and earn their GEDs, and are held responsible for their actions while earning a
second chance to follow a law-abiding life.
The Youth Bureau continues to work closely with the various towns and villages which
administer Youth Recreation Programs. These contacts are valuable for monitoring and
evaluation purposes, and also for networking and sharing information between and among
youth organizations. Town and Village Recreation Programs continue to be utilized heavily,
with many programs adding components such as nutrition and reading.
In September of 2009, the Youth Bureau assumed the responsibilities of the Juvenile
Arson Program. One referral was received this year.
The Allegany County Youth Bureau is committed to encouraging the development of
innovative youth programs which are based upon the principles of Youth Development.
