MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN:
Chairman Curtis W. Crandall presented his message to the Board,
noting past challenges faced by the County Legislature over the past
few years in the areas of increased state retirement, Medicaid, and
health insurance costs, as well as the decision to build a new
County jail facility.
In looking ahead, Chairman Crandall
acknowledged there are still many challenges facing the County, but
he is confident that, along with the dedicated and capable
department heads and employees, Allegany County government will be
able to provide its citizens with quality programs and services in
the most efficient way possible.

County should begin to see economic and financial stability and

PUBLIC HEARING:
Chairman Crandall closed the regular meeting to hold a public
hearing on Local Law Intro. No. 1-2006, entitled “A Local Law
Implementing First Time Homeowner County Property Tax Exemption.”
Public comments are summarized below.
(A letter was received from Alan Carlin, of Wellsville, prior
to the public hearing, in which Mr. Carlin commented against the
proposed tax exemption.)
Timothy Koegel, of Alfred, commented on the Town of Alfred’s
problem of attracting and retaining residents.
He noted that both
the Town and Village of Alfred, along with the school district, have
signed on to offer this tax exemption in the hope of attracting new
residents. This exemption is a healthy first step and does not put
any burden on the County or towns. Mr. Koegel feels this incentive
could add four to five new homes in Alfred per year; and over the
course of the next five years, an additional one million dollars
assessed property value could be added to the County, town and
school district tax base.
Michael Hyde, of Alfred, noted that over the past twenty-five
years, the percentage of Alfred University employees living in the
Town of Alfred has dropped from 45 percent to 20 percent.
At
present, 35 to 55 people are typically hired by the University per
year and virtually no one chooses to live in Alfred; most locate in
Hornell, stating that it is cheaper to live there.
Alfred
University is in favor of the proposed legislation as an incentive
to draw new residents to the Town of Alfred, adding to the property
tax base; and these new residents would be purchasing locally as
well, adding to sales tax revenue.

There being no one desiring to
speak, the public hearing was declared closed and the Board
reconvened in regular session.
PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR:
Chairman Crandall granted privilege of the floor to County
Historian Craig Braack for his “Bicentennial Minute.” This feature
was started about two months ago to highlight historical events of
interest leading up to the celebration (to be held this summer) of
the establishment of Allegany County on April 7, 1806.
Mr. Braack
distributed a short quiz on County facts and a State map with a “Y”
shaped route marked on it, explained in his narrative.
Just as
George Washington is known as the father of our Country, and Philip
Church as the father of Allegany County, John Sullivan could be
acknowledged as the father of the Genesee Valley. One of President
George Washington’s first orders as Commander-in-Chief was for
Generals Sullivan and Clinton to take contingents of approximately
5,000 men each and open the Southwestern New York/Genesee Valley
area to settlers, marking the first time the government sanctioned
genocide.
The army, under the command of Generals Sullivan and
Clinton, traveled to present-day Watkins Glen, then north to
Canandaigua, and pushed as far west as Little Bears Town, near
Geneseo.
They destroyed all Indian homes and crops as they
progressed. August 29, 1779 saw the Indians’ last stand in Newtown,
about four miles east of Elmira, and most of September and October
was spent opening the valley to exploration (and exploitation). The
net result of this military effort was the permanent loss of power
and influence the Indians had over their former lands.
Privilege of the floor was granted to Donald Rychnowski,
Executive Director for Southern Tier West Regional Planning and
Development Board, for a presentation on past and present programs
the agency has been involved in.
The Board was established as an
economic development entity in 1969 between the counties of
Chautauqua, Allegany, and Cattaraugus and the Seneca Nation of
Indians.
Over the years, the agency has been responsible for
bringing in over $77 million in Federal funds and $52 million from
the Appalachian Regional Commission.
Programs highlighted were:
Local Government (training and technical assistance); Internet-Based
Information; Transportation (I-86 Corridor and Southern Tier
Extension Railroad line); Economic Development (Entrepreneurship
Development and Wireless Broadband Access Feasibility Study);
Environment and Natural Resources programs; and Funding Assistance
(coordination of funding from the Appalachian Regional Commission
and the Economic Development Administration).
Ernest Ramsey, Allegany County Farm Bureau President, was
granted privilege of the floor to present information on the Farm
Bureau, a non-governmental, non-partisan organization established to
enhance and preserve agriculture and the rural way of life.
The
Farm Bureau promotes legislation in support of its goals, and is
ranked in the top fifteen most influential organizations, with four
full-time lobbyists.
Among the local issues they are currently
working on are: establishment of an installment plan for payment of
property taxes; refurbishment of the SUNY Alfred farm facilities;
18
LEGISLATORS’ PROCEEDINGS
protection for farmers from stringent EPA laws; and encouragement of
support for the future of agriculture in Allegany County.
Chairman Crandall took the floor to read a prepared statement
from the Board of Legislators. On January 22, 2006, the local union
workforce of Dresser-Rand in Wellsville voted on a proposal
negotiated though their negotiating team and the company many months
prior to the expiration of their current contract.
The Board of
Legislators expressed gratitude for the sacrifices the members of
this union have made to help keep Dresser-Rand in our County. There
are other details being worked out to secure the future of this
company in Allegany County.

Purpose.

C.
Upon determining that an exemption granted pursuant to
this local law should be discontinued, the assessor shall mail a
notice so stating to the owner or owners thereof at the time and in
the manner provided by Section 510 of the New York Real Property Tax

This was the year when Mt. Tamburo in the
Indonesia area erupted, releasing so much ash that the entire globe
was encompassed in a blanket of ash which restricted sunlight for
months. Approximately 1,000 people lived in Allegany County at the
time. Spring came late, there was frost into May and June, and snow
in July. There were no crops harvested that year. Some people died
of starvation and many moved back East where there were established
markets. The entire world was affected; over 200,000 people died in
Europe.
Near Lake Geneva in Switzerland, Lord Byron and Mr. and
Mrs. Percy Shelley wrote ghost stories to pass the time during these
dark days. Mary Shelley went on to complete and publish her work,
the world-renowned “Frankenstein.”

Offered by:

Department of Social Services for care provided foster children
by family boarding homes shall be as follows:

0-5 years $8.22 per day
6-11 years $9.86 per day

Seconded by: Mr. Fanton
Adopted: Roll Call
15 Ayes, 0 Noes, 0 Absent
(Memo: The increase in foster care rates approved by Resolution No.
62-06 was requested due to rates not having been adjusted since
1994. There are several levels of care for foster children: family
foster care, therapeutic foster care, group homes, and child care
institutions.
Family foster care is, by far, the least costly.
Therapeutic care, the next level, costs $33 to $35 per day. Of the
children currently in care, 16 of 87 are in family foster care. If
more children were in family foster care, the County would realize a
savings in the cost of care.
Having a more reasonable yet
competitive rate will hopefully promote better recruitment and
retention of our foster homes.
The fiscal impact of the increased
rates is $18,575 per year local share, which has already been
budgeted for 2006.)

PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR:

Department of Social Services, in recognition of her hard work and
dedication to the County.
Chairman Crandall granted privilege of the floor to Clark and

from Iraq by the Clarks’ son, Brandon.
Airman First Class Brandon
L. Brown, of the 332nd Security Forces serving at Balad Air Force
Base in Irag, had the opportunity to obtain the flags, both of which
were flown over Iraq during missions in support of Operation Iraqi
Freedom, as special thank-yous for the support given him and his
fellow service men and women. The flag presented to Allegany County
was received by Legislative Board Chairman Curtis Crandall, Sheriff
Randal Belmont, and Veterans’ Service Agency Director Scott

58
LEGISLATORS’ PROCEEDINGS
Brown family and noted the County’s deep appreciation of all men and
women currently serving in the armed forces.
County Historian Craig Braack presented his “Bicentennial
Minute” to highlight a piece of history in anticipation of the
County’s upcoming Bicentennial celebration this spring. Mr. Braack
distributed copies of a letter written by Frederick Douglas
following his anti-slavery lecture tour of Allegany County in 1851.
Just as the words “zoning” or “abortion” evoke strong feelings today
with people not wanting to be told what to do with their property,
speaking out for or against slavery one hundred fifty years ago with
the impending Civil War also brought on extremely strong emotions.
The letter depicted that great moments in history occurred right
here in our County and weren’t confined just to the larger cities in
the East. Allegany County was split over the issue of slavery, with
the Seventh Day Baptist Church making a stand against it.
There
were many underground railroad “stations” throughout the County.
Privilege of the floor was granted to Supervising Public Health
Educator Lori Ballengee and Public Health Director Dr. Gary Ogden to
address Allegany County’s Community Health Assessment.
Ms.
Ballengee presented information on the County’s demographics,
including health indicators, and noted the conclusions arrived at by
the Department of Health following nearly two years of study and
assessment. Focus areas chosen to be addressed during the period of
2005-2010 are:
Cancer, Lifestyle Choices, Sexual Activity Among
Teens, Injury Control, Emerging Pathogens/Diseases, Dental Health,
and Professional Recruitment.
Representatives were present from the offices of the County
Attorney, County Clerk, Probation, Public Works, Cornell Cooperative
Extension, Human Resources, and Sheriff, to answer any questions
regarding their 2005 Annual Reports.

PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR:
Chairman Crandall granted privilege of the floor to County
Historian Craig Braack for his “Bicentennial Minute.” Angelica was
the site of the first County Seat when the County was established in
1807. In 1831, the County created the County Nursing Home, Farm and
Poor House (Alms House) near Angelica on County Road 2.
In those
days, it was one of the worst things to be considered “on the
County” or receiving aid from the County. The nursing home was used
until 1960.
Social Services and the Historian were housed there
until 1976. In 1975 or 76, the County dedicated the cemetery, the
Potters Field, located east of the County buildings.
The grounds
are maintained by the County Department of Public Works. The nearly
300 numbered marble markers were arranged in two monument areas with
a plaque designed by former County Historian William Greene that
reads: “Potters Field, Begun 1831, Records Burned 1923. Here lie
nearly 300 citizens of this County, unable to share fully of her
bounty, in numbered graves beneath the sod, with their spirits
raised up to God.”
All records linking names with the numbered
markers were destroyed when the County Home Administration Building
burned in March 1923.
Privilege of the floor was granted to Tourism Specialist Jesse
Case for presentation of the 2006 Allegany County Travel Guide. Mr.
Case noted that 125,000 copies are printed and distributed
throughout New York and northern Pennsylvania.
This year’s guide
features the Bicentennial theme, with origins for the County’s towns
included.
Two additional publications were mentioned: “Plenty”
magazine, December/January 2006 issue, and “New York Outdoor News”,
both of which include articles about Allegany County as a winter
recreation and trout fishing tourist destination.
Chairman Crandall granted privilege of the floor to Shawnee
Wright, Drug Free Communities Coordinator with Partners for
Prevention in Allegany County. Ms. Wright updated the Board on the
group’s progress on formulating their strategic plan for the next
five years based on student surveys and building membership, which
has tripled since her last appearance before the Board.
She
announced a “Town Hall” meeting for parents, students, and the
public to be held on March 28, 7:00 p.m., at the Wellsville
Elementary School, with a focus on underage drinking prevention.
Madeleine Gasdik, representing the Allegany County Chapter of
the American Red Cross, was granted privilege of the floor.
March
is designated as American Red Cross Month, and was first recognized
as such in 1943 by then President Roosevelt.
This year marks the
125th anniversary of the first American Red Cross. Ms. Gasdik noted
the unprecedented challenges presented in 2005 with the tsunami in
69
LEGISLATORS’ PROCEEDINGS
the eastern hemisphere, hurricanes in the southeastern United
States, and the earthquake in Pakistan.
Locally, the Allegany
County Chapter responded to local emergencies, assisted military
families, and offered training in lifesaving skills.
Ms. Gasdik
encouraged continued support to ensure that the Red Cross remains
vital, ready to help prevent, prepare for, and respond to the
unknown challenges that lie ahead.
Representatives were present from the Office for the Aging,
Emergency Services, Board of Elections, Health Department, Coroners,
Community Services, Real Property Tax Service Agency, and Fire
Service, to answer any questions regarding their 2005 Annual

PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR:
Chairman Crandall granted privilege of the floor to County
Historian Craig Braack for his “Bicentennial Minute.”
One of the
County’s best-kept secrets is the Allegany County Vietnam War
Veterans’ Memorial in the front lawn of the County Courthouse. The
memorial consists of three granite sections. The middle section was
designed by retired art teacher Thomas O’Grady and is engraved with
the names of ten Allegany County military fatalities.
The longest
horizontal section includes the names of County veterans who
survived the war but later died due to war related problems. Five
new names have been added since 1986.
A listing of the primary
donors for the memorial is engraved on the back of the middle
section.
Although there are numerous Vietnam veterans’ memorials
around the country, Allegany County’s is unique in that a smaller
panel honors the missing pilot of a downed aircraft. (Recently the
plane was located and Navy CDR Donald Thompson was interred at
Arlington National Cemetery.)
The memorial was dedicated on
November 1, 1986, with approximately 800 people in attendance,
including local and state officials.
It was a spectacular service
ending with a rendition of taps performed by two strategically
placed buglers from the Scio School Marching Band, followed by a
fly-over of Air Force fighter jets.
Chairman Crandall offered a reminder of the Bicentennial
Celebration on April 7 in the Courthouse Lobby beginning at 11:30
a.m. Birthday cake will be served and the Bicentennial Bell will be
rung 200 times.
Legislators are invited to participate.
Mr.
Crandall also announced Bicentennial items available for purchase,
the newest of which is a “shelf sitter” depicting the County
Courthouse.
Privilege
of
the
floor
was
granted
to
Judy
Hopkins,
representing the Business Education Community Coalition (BECC), to
announce the Fifth Annual J. Dennis Kirst Career Awareness Day to be
held at the Cuba-Rushford High School on April 5, 2006. The event
was started in 2002 in the Office of Development by J. Dennis Kirst,
retired teacher and school superintendent, for the purpose of
bringing students and the local business community together to
73
LEGISLATORS’ PROCEEDINGS
showcase area career opportunities.
This year’s event will take
place from Noon to 2:00 p.m. for area tenth and eleventh grade
students, and 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. for the general public.
Displays
will represent a wide cross-section of area businesses and career
fields.
There will also be a County display to highlight career
choices in the elected official or governmental field, and
legislators are invited to participate.
Chairman Crandall granted privilege of the floor to Office of
Emergency Services Director John Tucker for an update on State
funding cuts to WREMS (Western Regional Emergency Medical System).
WREMS provides deliverables, including protocols and Pre-Hospital
Care Report (PCR) forms, to the regional council for use by
volunteer ambulance corps.
Mr. Tucker stated that funding has not
actually been cut, but the State had some administrative and
auditing concerns, and funding will be held up during the auditing
process.
Services will not be jeopardized, as the local Office of
Emergency Services will communicate directly with the State in the
interim.
Representatives were present from the offices of Employment and
Training, Veterans’ Service Agency, Youth Bureau, STOP DWI Program,

COMMENTS:
Legislator Ungermann read a prepared statement regarding the
County’s financial situation and suggested that “employee benefits”
was an area where cost savings could be realized.
Also addressed
were employee leave time, holidays, vacation and sick leave sell
backs, longevity, and retirement.
The employees at Dresser in
Wellsville, General Motors, Erie County, and countless other
businesses have had to face major changes.
Mr. Ungermann stated
this government has to change as well.
(A copy of the full
statement is included in the March 27, 2006 Board folder.)
Legislator McCormick announced the Andover Maple Festival and
Sportsmen’s Show, sponsored by the Village and Town of Andover and
the Andover Lions Club, to be held on April 1 and 2 at the Andover
School.
Legislator Pullen noted a recent Buffalo News article which
mentions Allegany County in a disparaging light. Our area’s economy
was termed “devastated.” Most of Appalachia is doing better, while
the thirteen counties in the Southern Tier of New York included in
Appalachia (of which Allegany County is one) are not.
If Allegany
County were situated in West Virginia, the heartland of Appalachia,
its per capita personal income of $19,925 would rank it 35th among
that state’s 55 counties.
A card was circulated announcing the 100th birthday open house
on April 15 for Marie Baker Sherman, mother of the late Legislator
Edgar Sherman. Mrs. Sherman participated in one of Edgar Sherman’s
Chairman of the Board swearing-in ceremonies.

facilitators including the Belmont Betterment Association, Alice
Alsworth, Terri Ross, County department heads, legislators, and
other County personnel. It was a beautiful, well-attended ceremony.
Mr. Braack developed and distributed a challenging quiz on the

lawn of the County Courthouse that was recently re-anchored during
some Public Works sidewalk repair.
It was discovered to have been
cast in Andover.

Fegley’s
statement

of appreciation to staff and supervisors in the Child Protective
Services and Preventive Services Units of the Department of Social

privilege of the floor to speak about Crime Victims Rights Week,
which is recognized April 23 through 29. Ms. Ozzella was hired by
the District Attorney’s Office in October 2000 through a grant
program and meets with all crime victims in the County. A ceremony
will be held April 28 at 4:00 p.m. to honor agency personnel and
victims.

PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR:
Chairman Crandall granted privilege of the floor to County
Historian Craig Braack for his “Bicentennial Minute.” Good Friday,
April 14, 1865, saw the Nation celebrating the ending of the Civil
War a few days earlier.
The date is also notorious as the day
President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, precipitating a great
outpouring of grief.
Lincoln was one of the most honored of the
many people to have their portraits appear on the United States
postage stamp, with only George Washington appearing more than
Lincoln’s fifteen times.
Numerous streets, villages, and schools
were also named after Lincoln.
In 1854, a bill was introduced in
the New York State Assembly to create a new county comprised of the
eastern portion of Allegany County and the western portion of
Steuben County. The rationale was that the towns of Burns, Almond,
85
LEGISLATORS’ PROCEEDINGS
and Alfred were situated in the Canisteo River watershed.
This
elevation, along with the new Erie Railroad, made it easier for
those residents to travel to Steuben’s county seat, rather than
Angelica, then our county seat.
The bill did not pass, but the
issue was resurrected in 1888, at which time the remaining towns in
Allegany County voiced such strong opposition, that the concept was
dropped. The name for the proposed new county was Lincoln County.
Representatives were present from the offices of Social
Services, Development, Industrial Development Agency, Planning
Board, Tourism, and County Administrator, to answer any questions
regarding their 2005 Annual Reports.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS, COMMUNICATIONS, REPORTS, ETC.:
1.
Placed on each legislator’s desk was an invitation to the

A media release was received from Southern Tier West
Regional Planning and Development Board summarizing highlights of

PROCLAMATION:
Chairman Crandall proclaimed the week of May 7 to 13, 2006 as
Armed Forces Week in Allegany County to pay tribute to the brave men
and women of the Armed Forces who have served, and are still serving
proudly, to protect and defend the United States of America.
The
first Armed Forces Day was established by President Harry S. Truman
on August 31, 1949, and this year marks the 46th annual observance of
Western New York Armed Forces Week.

COMMENTS:

for purposes of real property tax assessments (Senate Bill S.6818
and Assembly Bill A.6638). A supporting resolution, offered by the
Ways and Means Committee, will be considered by the Board at the
next meeting on May 8. Legislator Kruger relayed contact information
he received at a recent meeting for responding to this issue: Dennis
Fisher at 585-343-4363, and Paul Capone at 518-891-1780, both from
the Office of Real Property Tax Services.
AUDITS:

APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
The Board meeting minutes of April 24, 2006 were approved on a
motion made by Legislator Truax, seconded by Legislator Dibble and
carried.
PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR:
Chairman Crandall granted privilege of the floor to County
Historian Craig Braack for his “Bicentennial Minute.”
This
presentation will be the last, as the County’s Bicentennial will be
celebrated on Saturday, May 20.
Mr. Braack noted that the removal
of one of the large trees in the front lawn of the courthouse late
last month prompted his choice of topics for this Bicentennial
Minute. The front lawn of the County Courthouse and Office Building
complex is graced by a young maple on one side and an older maple on
the other, both with small plaques bearing wording with profound
meaning.
The first honors “Sheriff F. Vanama Jones for service to
Allegany County 1936 to 1968.” Sheriff Jones served the County well
during his tenure, but died tragically in a motorcycle accident.
The second plaque honors “Supervisor Benson L. Smith for service to
Allegany County 1950 to 1969.”
Mr. Smith served as Supervisor for
the Town of Cuba for many years, and left his mark on the County as
well.
One of the duties of a historian is to analyze the past in
preparation for the future. A challenge for all of us: will there
be a tree planted someplace in our memory or honor?
Wayne West was granted privilege of the floor to speak out
against the assessment of standing timber for real property tax
purposes.
Mr. West owns 180 acres of land in Bolivar and is also
the president of Heritage Cutlery. He has a strong interest in the
area. Timber is a precious area resource, not only for the monetary
value, but also for enjoyment, recreation, and wildlife habitat.
Mr. West stated that people who come in and cut timber for profit,
quite often clear-cut the area with no thought to disease control,
future production, or erosion, and pointed to the hillside near Alma
Pond on County Road 38 as an example. He said that he will not pay
taxes on standing timber, but would rather clear-cut his property.
92
LEGISLATORS’ PROCEEDINGS
Joseph Schueckler, Cornell Cooperative Extension Master Forest
Owner, also spoke against the assessment of privately owned standing
timber for the purpose of levying taxes. He has maintained his own
forest property for the past 43 years, and has had intensive forest
management training at Cornell University’s Arnot Forest.
Mr.
Schueckler spoke about forest management goals, sustainable timber
production, erosion control, water and air purification, recreation,
aesthetics, and wildlife habitat, illustrating the value of private
forests to the general public.
This issue of assessing standing
timber will have long-lasting effects on not only the environment,
but the very lives of this State’s citizens.
If privately owned
timber is assessed for tax purposes, the increased cost of owning
the property may cause wide-spread clear-cutting of private forests
and result in the loss of all the things listed above. Its impact
will also be felt in the loss of family farms, destabilization of
the timber industry (first by flooding the market with more timber
than it can handle and later by not having any timber to buy), and
increased cost of wildlife management.
Mr. Schueckler strongly
supports proposed legislation that will exempt privately owned
standing timber from real property tax assessment and urged the
Board to send a resolution to Albany in support of Senate Bill
S.6818 and Assembly Bill A. 6638.
Mary Marvin, of Bolivar, addressed the Board as a forest land
owner who is in the process of selling her property. She enlisted
the services of Master Forest Owner Joseph Schueckler to assess the
market value of her trees, and was able to use that information as a
selling point to prospective buyers. If the standing timber were to
be taxed, it would be more of a liability to the sale than an
advantage. Not only do the forests have the obvious monetary value
for the timber, but could be viewed as a source of future financial
security (a nest-egg), and to her, offer enjoyment and contentment.
Chairman Crandall pointed out that currently no assessors in
the County are assessing standing timber.

SUPPORTING STATE LEGISLATIVE BILLS S.6818 AND A.6638 REGARDING
EXCLUSION OF STANDING TIMBER FROM THE DEFINITION OF REAL PROPERTY
FOR PURPOSES OF REAL PROPERTY TAX ASSESSMENTS
Offered by:
Ways and Means Committee
WHEREAS, State Legislative Bills S.6818 and A.6638 have been
introduced to amend the Real Property Tax Law to exclude standing
timber on privately owned forestland from the definition of real
property for purposes of real property tax assessment, and
WHEREAS, the escalating costs of municipal services have placed
tremendous pressure on the real property tax system, and
WHEREAS, new assessments that attempt to reflect current timber
values can produce a steep tax increase on forestland properties,
and
WHEREAS, changing the definition of real property to exclude
standing timber on private forestlands will simplify the assessment
process, reduce inequities and encourage landowners to manage their
forest resources in a more sustainable manner, now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED:
1.
That the Allegany County Board of Legislature hereby
supports State Legislative Bills S.6818 and A.6638, which will
exclude standing timber on private forestlands for the purposes of
tax assessment.

(Memo:
The number of Family Court matters being handled by the
County Attorney’s Office has increased 326 percent over the past six
years.
The increase has mainly been due to the number of child
abuse, neglect, and termination of parental rights proceedings.
Family Court matters involving children have also become much more
complex and time-consuming.
The efficient handling of cases
involving children in the custody of the Department of Social
Services throughout the court process and precise drafting of court
orders have a direct impact on the ability of the Department to
secure reimbursement from the Federal and State governments to
offset the cost of care for a foster child.
This additional
attorney is essential to insure that matters are processed in
accordance with Federal and State requirements and thereby qualify
for Title IV-E reimbursement.
The new position created by
Resolution No. 130-06 will be dedicated solely to Social Services’
work.
As is currently the practice, the services of the attorney
will be billed at an hourly rate to the Department of Social
Services.
The revenue generated will more than offset the salary
and fringe benefits of the position.
The Department of Social
Services will then be able to submit the fees paid to the Federal
and State governments for reimbursement.)

RESOLVED:

PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR:
Chairman Crandall took the floor to present a certificate to
the July 2006 Employee of the Month, Julie Hoshal, of the Human
Resources/Civil Service Department, in recognition of her hard work
and dedication to the County.
Chairman Crandall recognized the Bolivar-Richburg Wolverines
Softball Team for their outstanding 2006 season.
Most of the team
members were present to accept certificates of achievement.
The
titles they won were Allegany County Division I, Expressway
Conference Blue Division, Section V Class C, Section V Class C/CC
Playoff Champion, Far West Region Champion (Section V vs Section
125
LEGISLATORS’ PROCEEDINGS
VI), New York State Class C Champion, and the NYS Final Four Team
Sportsmanship Award.
The team ended their season with a 31-0
record, which is a Section V record.
Chairman Crandall granted privilege of the floor to Sheriff
Randal Belmont, Schuyler County Sheriff William Yessman, Jr., and
Michael Maloney, former Schuyler County Sheriff, to address
questions related to legalities of Allegany County Sheriff personnel
providing assistance for racing events held at Watkins Glen.
Sheriff Yessman stated that he does not have adequate personnel or
vehicles to cover major events held at the raceway, such as Nascar
in August and Indi-qualifier in June, so he has to declare a limited
state of emergency to allow requests for mutual aid.
Seventeen
different agencies help with the Nascar event, the largest singleday sporting event in New York State.
Sheriff Yessman distributed
copies of Municipal Law Section 209-f that addresses declaration of
state of emergency and mutual aid; a sample intermunicipal agreement
that covers responsibilities, payment of personnel, reimbursement
for vehicle usage and fuel, liability insurance, and workers’
compensation; and an oath of office for Emergency Special Deputy
Sheriff which each officer would sign. Sheriff Yessman responded to
a recent newspaper article by stating that his office has always
needed this mutual aid assistance, and the officers being sent have
always acted professionally in fulfilling their duties.
Legislator Kruger commented that he has no problem with
deputies going, but he doesn’t see the agreement as being
intermunicipal, which denotes a sharing of duties, as there is no
benefit to Allegany County taxpayers.
Mr. Kruger also questioned
County vehicles being used; he would rather the deputies take their
own vehicles.
The County isn’t financially able to help to that
extent.
Sheriff Yessman responded that Schuyler County would
provide assistance to Allegany County if requested. He also stated
that he has a limited number of cars available for the 250 officers
coming in, so he needs the vehicles if available.
Former Schuyler County Sheriff Maloney noted that the Watkins
Glen Raceway could not conduct these events without the support of
area agencies. The events have a tremendous economic impact on the
entire surrounding area, especially for motels. Mr. Maloney listed
major events across the state over the past several years in which
Schuyler County Sheriff Deputies have responded, and there may come
a time when Allegany County needs help.
Legislator Ungermann asked about payment of deputies. Schuyler
County pays the deputies and distributes 1099 forms, per the State
Comptroller and Attorney General. Watkins Glen Raceway Corporation
makes a donation to Schuyler County to offset these expenses.
Mr.
Ungermann questioned the back filling of the deputies’ time off and
whether it would create an over-time situation if someone put in for
sick time.
Sheriff Yessman responded that the Sheriff in each
County would know who is working and if someone put in for sick
time, they would probably be disciplined.
Chairman Crandall granted privilege of the floor to Lee
Gridley, representing the Allegany County Agricultural Society and
its President, Martha Roberts, for presentation of the 2006 Fair
Book and schedule. In keeping with the County’s bicentennial theme,
the cover features an 1879 photo of the fairgrounds and a picture of
the bicentennial bell is included within.
The late New York State
Senator Patricia McGee is memorialized in the front of the book.
Changes to the fairgrounds include a new exit behind the horse
corral to relieve congestion around the race track, and a special
room in the firemen’s building to teach safety to children.
The
“big-name” entertainment for Friday night is Aaron Tippin.

Privilege of the floor was granted to Shawnee Wright, Drug Free
Communities Coordinator, for an update and report on Partners for
Prevention Strategic Planning. Following surveys completed over the
past several years, the coalition identified primary risk factors
demonstrated to increase or decrease the likelihood of substance
abuse.
Groups were formed representing the health, public safety,
education, business, faith, and youth sectors, and are in the
process of developing a strategic plan to determine risks not
currently being effectively addressed.
Brochures were distributed,
and Ms. Wright noted that the coalition will have a booth at the
Allegany County Fair.
Social Services Commissioner Patricia Schmelzer was granted
privilege of the floor to announce information related to Allegany
County’s final Medicaid cap amount.
Due to extensive efforts by
NYSAC and other agencies, Chapter 58 of the Laws of 2005 was enacted
to establish a cap on local share Medicaid payments.
Allegany
County’s weekly share was estimated for January 2006 at $166,465 and
adjusted for April 2006 at $172,137.
The final local share caps
have now been calculated by the State, and effective July 1, the
County’s weekly payment will be $163,724.
Since the final cap is
lower than the estimated amount, the County will receive a
reconciliation payment for the period 01/01 to 06/30/06 in the
amount of $215,138.
Ms. Schmelzer noted that although this
reimbursement is good news, and Medicaid costs are capped at this
time, they may not always be, and we are still spending over $8
million per year.

paid year-to-date is $4,565,550.)
COMMENTS:
Legislator Kruger commented regarding the approval to fill the
new Correction Officer positions for the new jail.
When the
positions were created, he understood the request to fill the
positions would be referred to the Board for approval, rather than
just the Ways and Means Committee. In the future, he would like to
know ahead of time if an issue will be coming back to the full Board
for approval, or if only four people in committee will do what
fifteen are being paid to do.
Mr. Kruger feels that decisions
regarding spending tax dollars should be the responsibility of each
Board member.
Legislator Ungermann noted that Resolution No. 148-03 covers
the procedure to fill positions, including that the Ways and Means
Committee does have the final word. He assumed the same thing that
Mr. Kruger did, as did Legislator O’Grady, in that the Board would
vote for approval of the filling of the Correction Officer
positions.
Legislator Reynolds stated he doesn’t disagree, and sometimes
the committees do have too much power, but the time to deny the

positions would have been at the time of their creation.
usually create positions just to leave them empty.
We don’t
Concern was also raised about the total number of Correction
Officers needed for the new jail as directed by the Commission of
Correction.
The current estimate is 57.99, but this could change
following further assessments to be completed after the jail begins
operation.
Currently on staff are 28 Correction Officers and 33
Deputies for a total of 61, but this number includes all staff
including court security.
Legislator Ungermann questioned why the full Board didn’t have
a vote on the purchase of three more Sheriff vehicles, since the
purchase will be over the $20,000 limit in the purchasing policy.
County Administrator John Margeson responded that most of our
current operating procedures have been in place for many years.
These procedures could be subject to change by Board action, but
unless that occurs, those responsible for performing certain actions
must abide by the procedures currently in place.
Chairman Crandall noted that the County Administrator and
County Attorney will be preparing an outline on what issues are
forwarded to committees or to the Board and what issues are voted on
by the full Board.
All legislators will receive copies, and these
topics of dissention can be discussed at that time.
The meeting was adjourned on a motion made by Legislator Truax,
seconded by Legislator Pullen and carried.

recognized those in attendance who were her former students at

Administration.

Chairman Crandall stated that the end of each Board meeting has
always been designated for legislators’ announcements from their
individual districts, although other statements have been allowed.
Chairman Crandall noted he does not feel the floor should be opened
for discussion of past resolutions or past committee actions when
there is no opportunity for prepared responses.
Concerns and
questions should be addressed to the proper authorities, such as the
County Administrator or department heads. A Committee of the Whole
meeting can be scheduled for discussion of issues of concern.

PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR:
Chairman Crandall granted privilege of the floor to Dr. Gary
Ogden, Public Health Director, to speak about the formation of the
Allegany County Cancer Services Foundation.
This initiative was
begun due to the withdrawal of American Cancer Society support for
the Relay for Life fundraising efforts in Allegany County.
Spearheaded by Lori Ballengee, Health Department employee and cancer
survivor, the Allegany County Cancer Services Foundation was
established to provide assistance and support to area cancer
patients. All funds raised will stay in the local area. Dr. Ogden
urged support for Resolution Intro. No. 168-06, to be considered
later in the meeting, which will authorize the Health Department to
officially sponsor the “Colors for Life” Cancer Awareness Night as a
County function.
Privilege of the floor was also granted to Lori Ballengee,
Supervising Public Health Educator, who spoke about the Allegany
County Cancer Services Foundation.
Ms. Ballengee stated she is a
breast cancer survivor and was very thankful for the great health
insurance, employer support, and family support she had during her
screening, diagnosis, and treatment; but also realized there are
many cancer patients who do not have that.
The Foundation’s goals
will focus on prevention, education, and supportive services.
One
hundred percent of all money raised will be used to help Allegany
County cancer patients and their families with things like gas and
phone cards, medical co-pays, and small equipment needed for
treatment.
They anticipate being able to help in the future with
expenses for screenings not covered by insurance.
Ms. Ballengee
announced the “Colors for Life” Cancer Awareness Night to be held on
August 25.
On behalf of the entire Board, Majority Leader Brent
Reynolds presented the Foundation with a check for $500 (drawn from
their discretionary “flower fund”).
Chairman Crandall took the floor to present a certificate to
the August 2006 Employee of the Month, Marlee Talbett, of the Public
Defender’s Office, in recognition of her hard work and dedication to
the County.

(Memo: Regarding Resolution No. 179-06, Resolved No. 1: In the fall
of 2005, during the 2006 Budget process, the Health Department and
Ways & Means Committee agreed that the funding previously used to
contract with a hydrologist would be used to further offset the cost
of our Public Health Sanitarians’ salaries.
In April 2006, the 2006-07 Drinking Water Enhancement Budget
was completed by the Deputy Director at which time $10,000 was
budgeted for and approved by NYS DOH for a contracted hydrologist.
A contract with Steven Woodbridge was signed on May 1, 2006 for said
services.
The end result to Allegany County is that the Drinking Water
Enhancement Grant with NYS DOH will reimburse the County $10,000 for
this contracted individual; however, the $10,000 for the Sanitarians
that was placed in personnel services in the 2006 County Budget is
no longer available to offset their salary expense. Therefore, the
net cost to the County is $6,400 [after General Public Health Work
State Aid reimbursement of $3,600, or 36 percent of $10,000].
In reviewing the A4010 cost center, it was noted that insurance
costs for 2006 were less than anticipated, resulting in the
availability of $10,000 to transfer to A4010.101 to cover the
Sanitarians’ salary loss at no additional cost to the County.
The transfer referenced in Resolved No. 2 is for a vaccine
specific refrigerator for storage of vaccine.
The current
refrigerator is beyond repair and no longer maintains the necessary
temperature.
The cost of the new refrigerator will be 100 percent
reimbursed through State Aid/Article 6.)

PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR:
Chairman Crandall granted privilege of the floor to Kelly
Buckley, Family Development Division Director at ACCORD Corporation,
who spoke about domestic violence. ACCORD continues to advocate for
victims of domestic violence.
In 2005, ACCORD Corporation served
187 victims. There were 106 Family Offense Petitions filed in 2005,
and already in 2006 they have filed 90, with seven months remaining
in the program year.
Their hotline received 358 calls in 2005.
University of Buffalo Law School staff contacted Ms. Buckley about
using Allegany County’s Domestic Violence Profile as a model for
other county coalitions.
Most recently, the domestic violence
consortium has been working with the Unified Court System for the
opening of an Integrated Domestic Violence Court which will greatly
reduce the number of court appearances and red tape currently
experienced by victims of domestic violence.
Ms. Buckley thanked
the Board for their continued support in creating positive change
and helping to make our community aware of the issue.
John Clark, Interim President at Alfred State College, was on
the agenda for privilege of the floor; but because he was detained,
he will speak during the Committee of the Whole meeting immediately
following the regular Board session.

PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR:
Chairman Crandall granted privilege of the floor to Sheriff
Randal Belmont, who announced that last week the Commission of
Correction granted Allegany County permission to house out-of-County
inmates at the new jail.
Sheriff Belmont stated that expenses for
operation were borne solely by the taxpayers in the past, but can
now be supplemented by housing-in revenues.
Sheriff Belmont also
clarified
some
issues
related
to
expenses.
Medical
and
transportation costs incurred by the out-of-County inmates are the
responsibility of the home County.
Additional staff will not be
needed for the larger number of inmates because the Commission of
Correction’s minimum staffing requirements were based on full
capacity of 164. The approximate cost per meal is $1.19, and this
cost goes down even more with increased numbers of inmates. Sheriff
Belmont noted that no contract is needed with the other counties
that we’ll be housing inmates for; it is handled through the State.
Chairman Crandall granted privilege of the floor to Robert
Christian, Executive Director, Allegany County Area Foundation, who
updated the Board on the mission and purpose of the organization.
Over the past 23 years, they have grown in assets to over $5
million.
This
non-profit
organization
seeks
to
encourage
educational, social, cultural, and civic projects benefiting and
serving the residents of Allegany County.
They maintain an
endowment fund to provide financial support for projects and also
182

offer college scholarships.
Recent involvement with County level
projects include donations to the Bicentennial celebration fund and
printing expenses for the County history books.
Mr. Christian
distributed copies of the Foundation’s 2005-06 Annual Report.
Chairman Crandall took the floor to present Certificates of
Appreciation to the members of the Bicentennial Committee in
recognition of the significant time and effort expended over the
past three years in the planning and production of all the
Bicentennial related events. Those recognized included: Committee
Chairperson Susan Myers, Alice Alsworth, Deborah Aumick, Robert
Black, Craig Braack, Gretta Gram, Lee Gridley, Peter Johnson, Robert
Meyers, Fred Sinclair, Mel Sonnleitner, Bette Stockman, Kimberley

-------Public Hearing
2007 Allegany County Tentative Budget
November 9, 2006
The public hearing on the Tentative 2007 Allegany County Budget
was declared open at 7:00 p.m. by Chairman Curtis W. Crandall.
There were 14 legislators present; 1 absent (Truax).
Pledge of allegiance to the flag.
Chairman Crandall stated the purpose of the public hearing was
to offer the opportunity for public comment on the County budget.
The Chairman noted this is one of the best tentative budgets he’s
participated in preparing.
Not long ago, the County budget
reflected double-digit tax rate increases.
It took a lot of hard
choices to arrive at this point, and Mr. Crandall would eventually
like to be able to scale back on some of the measures taken to get
here, such as the sales tax increase and other fees.
Clerk of the Board Brenda Rigby Riehle read the County Budget
Officer’s 2007 Budget Statement:
“The Allegany County Tentative Budget for calendar year 2007,
which is still subject to change, calls for an increase in the
County real property tax rate of 4.15 percent. In July, the Budget
staff and Budget Committee were presented with a 2007 budget plan
that called for a tax increase of just under 15 percent. This being
unacceptable, during August and September individual departmental
requests were trimmed by over 2.2 million dollars, rendering the
potential tax increase by over 10 percentage points.
There is currently a proposal to increase the cost of the
transfer station use tags from $60 per year to $72 per year.
If
this measure is adopted by the Board of Legislators, the anticipated
increased revenue of $160,000 will be applied directly to the
Tentative Budget resulting in a reduction of the tax increase from
4.15 percent to 3.42 percent.
At this level, a property owner in
Allegany County with a property assessment of $50,000, which is the
average assessment for a residential property within our County,
189
LEGISLATORS’ PROCEEDINGS
will receive a County property tax bill which is a mere $26 more
than their 2006 bill. This calculates to an affordable two dollars
and sixteen cents more per month.
In closing, I would like to thank Deputy Budget Officer Terri
Ross for her invaluable assistance in completing the Tentative
Budget. I also wish to publicly thank Ted Hopkins and the members
of the Budget Committee for their dedication in presenting a
Tentative Budget which is both fiscally balanced and allows for the
continuance of efficient service by County government to our
residents.”
Mr. Margeson explained the procedure for the hearing.
The
Appropriations section of the budget consists of fifteen major
categories, which are read one at a time along with the total for
each category.
Time for comments is allowed after each total is
read.
This forum is intended to allow comment on the 2007 Budget;
not for a debate of legislative policies which should be taken up
with the appropriate representative at another time.
Chairman Crandall opened the floor for comment prior to the
category-by-category process:
Ralph Kerr, Hume, stated he felt chagrinned with the Budget
Officer’s comment regarding the tax increase being a mere $26 per
year average.
Those on Social Security will be receiving a 3.3
percent cost of living increase, and even the mere 4.15 percent tax
increase takes their entire Social Security increase.
Fourteen
percent of County residents are senior citizens and 32 percent are
19 and under, leaving 54 percent of the population to pay the bill.
Mr. Kerr requested that the County use a zero percent based budget
approach.
The meeting was turned over to County Budget Officer John
Margeson who then requested that the Clerk of the Board read each
major category of the Budget Appropriations, along with the
corresponding total:
Total General Government Support - $6,943,616
Kate Hollis, Granger, questioned the decrease in the amount
requested for Account A1011.4, County Administrator, Contractual.
Margeson - This account covers special projects assigned by the
Legislature,
including
arbitration,
outside
expertise
for
arbitration, and in 2005 unexpected expenses for the new Jail
construction. Ms. Hollis asked that since the County is now facing
a new Courthouse project, if more money should be assigned to that
account. The budget should reflect anticipated expenses. Margeson
- Probably, but he has tried to make accommodations for unexpected
expenses in the Contingent Account and transfers can be made when
needed. It’s hard to predict.
Total Education - $2,683,400
Al Carlin, Willing, questioned the Special Education Physically
Handicapped Children Account and the number of people being served.
Margeson – The account covers the cost to provide mandated
educational services for preschool children aged three to five. The
County contracts with other agencies to provide these services, i.e.
BOCES.
The cost per child has increased substantially, although
there is some state reimbursement.
Public Health Director Gary
Ogden noted that the program costs a lot with a relatively small
number of students (approximately 140 to 150).
The number of
providers is small; BOCES is the main one.
Rates and provider
certification is controlled by the state.

LEGISLATORS’ PROCEEDINGS
Total Public Safety - $6,606,628
Total Health - $7,439,052
Rick Hollis, Granger, asked if $6,000 savings for the County
attributed to overnight parking of County vehicles which was
reported in a recent newspaper letter to the editor was correct.
Margeson – Yes. Mr. Hollis asked if any study was done on loss of
productivity. Margeson and Ogden – Analysis was done on gas savings
and additional study is ongoing.
It appears there are pros and
cons, but only six months of data is available.
Total Bus Transportation - $672,000
Sharon Collins, Belfast, asked if this account funds
Allegany County Transit (ACT) bus system. Margeson – yes.
the
Total Economic Assistance & Opportunity - $33,206,634
Total Culture and Recreation - $540,532
Sharon Rader, Angelica, questioned the Tourism position that
was cut.
Margeson – the Tourism Specialist position is a contract
position and has never been full-time.
Ms. Rader asked if the
services will remain the same with just some changes in the position
and duties spread to other areas.
Margeson – The change will only
be in the way of doing business; the County is not going to diminish
progress made since the 1990s in promotion of tourism. The current
contract establishes certain duties and does not specify any time
requirement. The Legislature can change the way of doing business;
it may continue to contract for services, or duties may be assigned
to other existing staff.
The intent is to continue with at least
the same amount of effort devoted to tourism at present. Ms. Rader
noted that tourism promotion has been very positive and is concerned
that if those in power split the position and take the program away
from one central focus, the County’s tourism promotion won’t
continue to grow.
For example, Angelica’s comprehensive planning
efforts are based on the growth of tourism and we need to continue
to increase efforts. Multiple staff members taking on these duties
may not see the big picture and won’t have the same level of
experience.
Mark Christensen, Angelica, voiced concern with tourism program
changes. He’s not clear on why the contract won’t be renewed, when
the Specialist recently received a state award for his work.
Mr.
Christensen is a business owner who works with tourism businesses
and knows how important promotion is. He is concerned the County is
going backwards and a new individual won’t have the experience.
Margeson – Is confident the Legislature will not reduce efforts, but
may increase tourism promotion, moving forward and accomplishing
more. The legislators recognize the value of tourism but also want
to address other issues as well, such as comprehensive County
planning, and there has been strong public sentiment to acquire the
services of a Grants Writer. These other issues haven’t been funded
in the past due to budget constraints. We would like to incorporate
efforts in all three areas to move forward on tourism promotion,
planning, and grants writing.
Joel Kassirer, Angelica, questioned the funds for planning and
grants writing and whether these areas would be financed by the
former tourism budget. Margeson – The tourism budget is made up of
“I Love NY” funds as part of the consortium including Chautauqua,
Cattaraugus, and Allegany Counties.
The Legislature has no
intention of jeopardizing those funds. They are looking at a change
191
LEGISLATORS’ PROCEEDINGS
in some of the personalities and making some additions, and plan to
utilize the tourism budget for all three areas. Mr. Kassirer noted
he would like to see a steady incline in the tourism program, rather
than a “hiccup” and was concerned that businesses and individuals
wouldn’t know who to go to for assistance. Margeson – There will be
someone to go to.
Kassirer – Someone with experience?
Margeson –
Yes.
Rick Hollis, Granger, asked that if the former Tourism
Specialist was furnished with a computer and an office, why he was
not a County “employee,” as these two criteria are used by the IRS
to define “employee.”
Margeson – It’s been the policy of the
Legislature to contract for those services.
Mr. Hollis – Is that
the appropriate status? The position should be full-time. Margeson
– The County Attorney should probably respond to that question.
(Mr. Hollis requested response by County Attorney.)
Kate Hollis, Granger, questioned the group of programs under
the Youth Program area that were previously funded, but now are not.
Margeson – The individual Youth Program line items that include
zeros
under
Department
Head
Request
and
Budget
Officer
Recommendation are actually funded later in 2006 or early 2007. The
Youth Bureau Advisory Board is in the process of making funding
recommendations; some programs may continue, some will not.
The
Legislature will vote on a resolution to fund the Youth Programs,
which are all state funded, so fiscally it’s a “wash.”
Lee James, Cuba, stated she sees the need for planning and
grants writing, but questioned if it’s a good idea to take tourism
contract money and shift it around, or should those funds be kept
intact and add to them? Margeson – The Legislature has not decided
on the structure, so he can’t respond. Comments have been heard and
will be taken into account. Ms. James asked if any time frame was
set for a decision. Margeson – Probably within the next 60 days.
Mark Christensen, Angelica, asked if there was currently no
real plan, then, for the tourism, planning, and grants writing
issues. Chairman Crandall responded that two-thirds of the Board is
new and they ran on a platform for change.
This is one of the
changes the Board is making and wants to move forward on. They feel
the changes are positive and do not want to move backward on the
progress made in tourism promotion.
The issue has been discussed
extensively in planning sessions held at Committee of the Whole
meetings. There was concern that if the changes were delayed until
after the first of the year, there would be no time to plan and
adjust how all three positions would work into the budget. Chairman
Crandall made note of a letter he received from the Wellsville Area
Chamber of Commerce and a conversation he had with its Executive
Director, Steven Havey.
Mark Christensen read the letter aloud.
Chairman
Crandall
reiterated
that
the
Board
recognizes
the
importance of tourism and plans to move forward.
Total Home & Community Services - $1,725,227
Total Undistributed - $17,015,663
Rick Hollis, Granger, questioned health care for employees.
Margeson and County Treasurer Terri Ross responded that the County
has a self-funded health plan and costs are paid from the Risk
Retention Health Accounts. Costs amounted to $5.7 million in 2005.
Mr. Hollis stated that with a total County budget of $93
million, as of 2007, the costs associated with GASB 45 compliance
will have a major impact to taxpayers.
Is the County planning to
comply, what are the estimated costs, and what will happen if the
192
LEGISLATORS’ PROCEEDINGS
County does not comply?
Ross – The County will comply.
Figures
will be posted on year-end 2007 financial reports.
The County has
plans to hire an actuary and she has met with our consultant to send
out Requests for Proposals. Ms. Ross stated that GASB 45 does not
have to be funded, but has to be posted on the balance sheet, so is
a huge liability.
Mr. Hollis asked that with $1 billion in
liability, is the County thinking about cutting health care coverage
for retirees?
Margeson – That is a policy question suited for
another forum. The Legislature is aware of the gravity of GASB 45.
Mr. Hollis questioned the total cost for NYS Retirement. Ross
- $1.978 million due in February 2007.
Hollis – Where is it
budgeted?
Ross – In addition to the General Fund, some of the
expense is budgeted under the County Road and Road Machinery Funds.
Mr. Hollis asked about the savings to be incurred if the bill were
to be paid early. Ross – If the cash is available, the bill will be
paid early and the County would save one percent.
Mr. Hollis
pointed out that over the past three years, the County has paid an
extra $70,000 that could have been saved if the retirement bill had
been paid early, and doesn’t feel the County has budgeted properly.
Sharon Collins, Belfast, noted that the County could reduce the
budget by approximately one percent ($205,000) by eliminating
vacation and sick time sell-backs for managerial and non-union
staff, thereby allowing the County to pay the retirement bill early
as noted by Mr. Hollis.
Has there been discussion on that?
Margeson – It hasn’t been discussed.
Collins – Will it be?
Margeson – Possibly, but the only choice would be to eliminate that
benefit for non-unit staff as union employees have contractual
terms.
Collins – The Legislature has control over the non-unit
staff; union members gave something up in order to get the sell-back
benefit.
Ralph Kerr, Hume, asked what percentage of the total payroll
the retirement bill amounts to for 2006 and 2007.
Margeson – That
data is available and will be sent to Mr. Kerr.
Grand Total General Fund - $76,832,752
Total WIA Grant Fund (Appropriation for the Employment and Training
Office) - $1,192,019
Al Carlin, Willing, asked about the number of participants
served.
Margeson – In 2005, the Employment and Training Center
served over 1,800 people through personal or phone contact.
Total Risk Retention Fund - $333,500
Total Risk Retention Health Fund - $5,000,000
Sharon Collins, Belfast, asked if this account covers employee
medical benefits expense.
Margeson – Yes.
Ms. Collins – If
expenses run over, are they covered by the Contingent Account?
Margeson – The Treasurer balances the books at year-end by making
transfers between accounts and takes care of overages at that point.
Collins – In 2005, actual costs went down? Margeson – Yes. Collins
– Is the health insurance contribution being discussed. Margeson –
That issue is being studied by an ad hoc committee and a report
should be ready by late December. Collins – Would it shave another
one-half percent from the budget if a five percent contribution was
required for non-unit staff? Margeson – Less.
Total County Road Fund - $7,285,347
193
LEGISLATORS’ PROCEEDINGS
Rick Hollis, Granger, questioned the Fund Balances and the Road
Machinery Fund, and what is covered.
Public Works Superintendent
David Roeske – The Fund is used for County Equipment, Highway Shop,
and Repairs. Mr. Hollis asked if $200,000 could be appropriated to
other areas of the budget.
Margeson – These fund balances are
generated over years in Road Machinery.
Al Carlin, Willing, referred to the Snow Removal Account and
asked how many miles of County highways are taken care of by the
County.
Margeson – The County tries to contract with the towns.
There are 342 total miles of County roads and four towns that do not
plow.
Mr. Roeske noted that around 50 miles are taken care of by
the County.
Mr. Hollis noted there was an additional $100 per mile given to
the towns for snow removal this season.
With costs going up, the
towns would appreciate any additional money they can get. What the
County doesn’t fund, the towns have to.
In Granger, Mr. Hollis
figures it costs $36,000 to plow County roads, but they are only
reimbursed $24,000 by the County.
The town taxpayers have to pick
up the other $12,000.
If the inequities continue, more towns will
refuse to plow County roads.
Total Road Machinery Fund - $846,972
Kate Hollis, Granger, questioned the line item under Road
Machinery, Equipment, with the Budget Officer Recommendation at
$13,750 being so much less than the 2005 Actual at $16,785.
Margeson – For the past three years, the County has been purchasing
equipment through short-term debt.
He does not disagree.
The
Legislature will decide what will be purchased.
Ms. Hollis noted
the amount to be paid in interest. Margeson pointed out that if the
$533,000 requested by the department head was put in the budget, we
would be looking at another 2.5 percent tax rate increase.
Ms.
Hollis asked what the term on the borrowing would be.
Margeson –
Five years with a current interest rate of 4.5 percent for a Bond
Anticipation Note (BAN).
Total Self-Insurance Fund - $887,730
Margeson – The Workers’ Compensation Fund is self-funded and
covers, in addition to the County, the towns, villages, and fire and
rescue departments.
Rick Hollis, Granger, noted that Workers’ Compensation costs
for the towns are added to their tax warrants, but asked if they
could be billed directly.
In his town, costs have increased ten
percent per year.
They’ve had only four minor accidents with no
lost time, but are hit with the maximum increase.
They don’t
receive a bill; the cost is added to every taxpayer’s tax bill.
It’s difficult to explain to the taxpayers.
He would like to see
what the other towns are paying, and what they’re doing better for
the lower percentages. Mr. Hollis requested a comparison of all the
towns’ Workers’ Compensation costs and percentage increases for next
year.
Total Debt Service Fund - $3,160,138
General Comments:
Ralph Kerr, Hume, questioned the reimbursement rate for the
preschool special education costs. Margeson – 59.5 percent. Mr. Kerr
pointed out that in 2006, costs were $1.5 million and state aid was
$869,000; in 2007, costs are estimated at $1.9 million with state
194
LEGISLATORS’ PROCEEDINGS
aid of $892,000. Revenues are not keeping up with costs.
– Will investigate and respond by mail.
Margeson
Mr. Kerr requested that the budget be looked over carefully for
at least another $200,000 in cuts to bring the tax rate under the
cost of living figures estimated by the federal government.
Mr.
Kerr requested a list of mandated items as compared with unmandated
items.
Al Carlin, Willing, asked about the reported $1.3 budget
surplus at the end of 2005 and what became of it.
Margeson – The
2005 budget year did end with a surplus, but the County has
experienced yearly deficits since 2002. The 2005 surplus helped to
offset some of the deficit.
The public hearing was closed at 8:30 p.m.
-------November 13, 2006
The regular meeting of the Board of Legislators was called to
order at 2:00 p.m. by Chairman Curtis W. Crandall.
CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR RECIPIENT RECOGNIZED:
Chairman Crandall took a moment to recognize the recent
announcement by United States President George Bush that the
Congressional Medal of Honor, the highest military recognition, has
been awarded posthumously to Allegany County’s Marine Corporal Jason
L. Dunham.
Legislator Reynolds also spoke regarding this great
honor.

Lockwood and Kimberley Toot to speak about United Way. Mr. Lockwood
spoke as a representative of Literacy Volunteers, one of the
recipient agencies.
United Way in Allegany County supports 22
agencies including over 30 programs, helping to ensure that needs
are fulfilled. Through United Way, Literacy Volunteers was able to
distribute over 3,000 books to Allegany County Kindergarten classes.
Ms. Toot, as Chairman of the Allegany County Employee Campaign,
urged employees to consider payroll deduction.

LEGISLATORS’ PROCEEDINGS
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Allegany County Board of

acting on behalf of the Lessee is hereby authorized to negotiate,
enter into, execute, and deliver one or more Equipment Leases in
substantially the form set forth in the document presently before
the Governing Body, which document is available for public

Each Authorized
Representative acting on behalf of the Lessee is hereby authorized
to negotiate, enter into, execute, and deliver such other documents
relating to the Equipment Lease (including, but not limited to,

and appropriate.
All other related contracts and agreements

forth therein.
Section 4. The Lessee’s obligations under the Equipment Leases
shall be subject to annual appropriation or renewal by the Governing

LEGISLATORS’ PROCEEDINGS
A motion was made by Legislator Ungermann and seconded by
Legislator Kruger to amend Resolution Intro. No. 261-06 (Resolution
Establishing Health Insurance Fees for All County Employees Not
Currently Covered by a Collective Bargaining Agreement) to require
that all non-unit employees pay a health insurance contribution of 5
percent beginning 01/01/07, 10 percent beginning 01/01/08, and 15
percent beginning 01/01/09; that all currently retired non-unit
employees pay a 5 percent contribution beginning 01/01/07 with no
future increases; that all future retirees hired before 01/01/07 pay
the percentage contribution in effect at the time of retirement
beginning 01/01/07; and that all new hires, hired as of 01/01/07,
pay a 15 percent contribution beginning 01/01/07 with no guarantee
of health insurance at retirement.
The motion for amendment was
defeated on a roll call vote of 5 Ayes, 10 Noes. (Voting in favor of
the amendment were Kruger, McCormick, Russo, Truax, and Ungermann.)
It was noted that the pre-filed resolution is only a short-term
solution. More work is needed to arrive at a long-term solution by
gathering data from other municipalities and private industry and
investigating all the impacts on both the County and the employees.

ANNUAL REPORTS
COMMUNITY SERVICES
2006 ANNUAL REPORT
The Allegany County Office of Community Services consists of two major divisions. The
first is the Local Governmental Unit (LGU) that receives money from the New York State
agencies and contracts for services with local providers. The second part of Community Services
provides services within the County and also regulatory oversight of other mental hygiene
programs.
The Office is under the direction of the Community Services Board (CSB). Policy making
functions are vested in this Board which is comprised of fifteen members appointed by the
Legislature (two of whom are County Legislators). 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 recommend policy to the
Board and to implement existing policies. The Office engages in contract management with
contract 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 2006, 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 Steuben Churchpeople Against Poverty. In addition, the CSB authorized
financial support to Pathways, Inc., Literacy Volunteers, and the Allegany Western Steuben Rural
Health Network.
Allegany County Community Services ensures appropriate, coordinated services to County
residents needing mental hygiene services. In addition to the oversight of the contractual agencies,
direct services are provided through Intensive Case Management (ICM), Single Point of Access
(SPOA), and chemical dependence evaluations for the Department of Social Services. In the area
of prevention, Community Services offers Common Sense Parenting classes open to all residents
with referrals from other agencies. This year in conjunction with the Allegany Council and
Allegany County District Attorney’s Office, the Office of Community Services applied for and
received a grant to provide treatment services for individuals diagnosed with chemical dependency
who are felons. This program, STEPS, Road to Recovery, is designed to save incarceration
expenses by providing enhanced treatment outcomes.
The Community Services Department maintains collaborative and cooperative relationships
with other County departments and human service agencies in the County. In the area of
Behavioral Health, Allegany County residents continue to receive outstanding services from
dedicated providers.
The complete Annual Report for the Community Services Agency is on file in the Clerk of
the Board of Legislators’ Office, Allegany County Office Building, Belmont, New York.

COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR
2006 ANNUAL REPORT
This report attempts to address the major projects in which I was involved in 2006, but
is not a format that can adequately describe or report the multitude of activities,
responsibilities, or obligations which fall to the County Administrator on a daily basis.
As was the case in 2005, a substantial amount of my time and effort during the first six
months of 2006 were spent on numerous issues pertaining to the final stages of constructing
the County Jail and Public Safety Facility. The facility was 99 percent complete in mid June
and a ribbon cutting ceremony took place on July 7, 2006. The final two months leading up to
completion were hectic and were marked by minor disputes which required administrative
intervention along with the need to expeditiously install and test a
telecommunications/information technology system. This required a great deal of cooperation
and interaction between equipment manufacturers, installers, County Information Technology
staff, County Sheriff’s Office staff, the building architect, and the telephone company. After
the ribbon cutting, but before we occupied the building, I continued to deal with issues
involving the closing out of contracts with contractors and assuring that contractors had met
performance obligations.
In May, I initiated the project which calls for the provision of a water and sewer
treatment infrastructure system to the area surrounding the intersection of I-86 and New York
State Route 19, commonly referred to as “The Crossroads.” The County Board of Legislators
agreed to retain the firm of LaBella and Associates to prepare the Map, Plan, and Report which
is essential to this project. The Legislature also declared the County as the Lead Agency for
the Environmental Quality Review process. The team formulated to move this effort forward
consists of the Town of Friendship Town Supervisor, Friendship Town Board members, the
County Director of Development, the County Attorney, the Project Engineer from LaBella, the
County’s financial advisor, and myself.
By the end of the year, the Map, Plan, and Report were 80 percent complete, the County
and Town had essentially agreed upon the terms and conditions of an Intermunicipal
Agreement controlling the operation and maintenance of both a sewer and water district, and a
cultural sensitivity study was underway. With the onset of winter, the cultural sensitivity study
had to be suspended and will be completed in the Spring of 2007. At this time the Map, Plan,
and Report will be finalized and, if accepted by the Board of Legislators, will be forwarded to
the Office of the New York State Comptroller for approval. Final systems design, contract
bidding, and construction will hinge on the rapidity with which the State Comptroller approves
or disapproves the Map, Plan, and Report.
The year 2006 also saw the re-emergence of the need to comply with the Court
Facilities Capital Plan Act of 1987. It has been known for several years that the County
Courthouse is deficient as to appropriate program space requirements and, as a result,
Chairman Curtis Crandall appointed an ad hoc committee whose charge was to research the
issue and come forth with a recommended solution.
I prepared a Request for Proposal seeking the services of an architectural/engineering
firm and the firm LaBella and Associates from Rochester was selected. LaBella studied the
feasibility and cost of three options (new construction, constructing an addition to the rear of
the Courthouse, and renovating a portion of the County Office Building) and recommended,
because of cost, that the County pursue the construction of a new Court Facility adjacent to the
Public Safety Facility.
263
ANNUAL REPORTS
In 2007, a Standing Committee was created by Resolution of the Board to continue the
work of the ad hoc committee.
Other major activities which collectively occupied a substantial amount of my time and
effort included:
 Writing a Request for Proposal and negotiating new contracts for privately provided
home health care,
 Overseeing the change in the third party administrator of the County Medical Care Plan,
 Overseeing the sale of the former County-owned sand and gravel pit in Almond,
 Preparing the 2007 County Tentative Budget,
 Overseeing the bidding of new buses for the Allegany County Transit System,
 Negotiating a lease with a new landlord for the Women, Infant and Children program,
 Overseeing the environmental assessment of County-owned property at the corner of
County Route 20 and State Route 19 and the eventual sale of the parcel to a private
development corporation.
In addition, I continued to serve as a mandatory member of the Cattaraugus-Allegany
Workforce Investment Board and assumed the Chairmanship of the Southern Tier Extension
Railroad Authority with the unexpected passing of former Cattaraugus County Legislative
Chair Jess Fitzpatrick.
As usual, in 2006, I attended a vast majority of Legislative Standing Committee
meetings and all regular and special meetings of the Board of Legislators.
Respectfully Submitted,
John E. Margeson, County Administrator

ANNUAL REPORTS
COUNTY HISTORIAN
2006 ANNUAL REPORT
Once again, it has been my pleasure to fill the position of County Historian, Museum
Curator, and County Records Management Officer for 2006.
During the year, I presented 102 slide programs throughout the County and region,
answered 37 genealogy requests, answered 25 letters inquiring about a variety of subjects, and
conducted five tours of the County buildings for the public.
The historical highlight of the year for Allegany County was the celebration of our
County’s Bicentennial. Our official birth date was April 7, 1806 and our birthday party was
held on the front lawn of the Courthouse. Those in attendance rang the official Bicentennial
Bell which formerly graced the peak of the County Museum. Curtis Crandall of Crandall
Memorials deserves a great deal of praise for restoring the bell. The official Chair of our
Bicentennial Celebration was former Legislator Susan Myers from Friendship. While many
people volunteered a great deal of time and effort for the Bicentennial, it would not have been
nearly so successful without the excellent work performed by Alice Alsworth. The major
event was the celebration held at the County Fairgrounds in Angelica on May 20, which
featured a nearly two-hour parade, many excellent historical displays, and programs
throughout the day. The last event took place on October 23 when the County’s 20th Century
Time Capsule was buried on the front lawn of the Courthouse and sealed by the bell.

OFFICE OF DEVELOPMENT
2006 ANNUAL REPORT
The Office of Development focused our collective efforts in the development of
commerce within the County through the retention, expansion and attraction of business and
services.
Business Assistance / Revolving Loan Fund – During 2006, the Development Office assisted
over 200 businesses with various requests from permitting through financing. The Revolving
Loan Fund structured three loans totaling $60,000. Within the past five years, over $660,000
in lending has been achieved. During 2006, a restructuring of the loan fund was achieved to
combine the ACCORD Small Business Development Program. The ACCORD program will
now be lead agency for lending within the County.
Crossroads Commerce Park (I-86 & NYS Route 19) – During 2006, several significant
benchmarks were initiated and achieved relative to water and sewer infrastructure. A map,
plan, and report process was initiated with LaBella Associates to be completed early in 2007.
This will provide all preliminary engineering and permitting for infrastructure placement. The
Town of Friendship will be the provider of sewer and water services.
Marketing Initiative – For the third consecutive year, Allegany County’s Office of
Development has been recognized by New York State’s Economic Development Council for
superior marketing materials.
County Comprehensive Plan – In conjunction with the County Planning Board and the County
Legislature, the creation of a County-wide Comprehensive Plan was initiated. It is anticipated
that the plan will be completed by 2008.

ANNUAL REPORTS
DISTRICT ATTORNEY
2006 ANNUAL REPORT
The District Attorney hereby submits this summary of his annual report in the severely
condensed format required by board resolution.
There were 2,578 new files opened in 2006 to be added to those carried over from 2005.
Of these files, 993 were misdemeanors, 318 were investigations or miscellaneous or initially
regarded as felony level arrests, 1,206 were violations, and 61 were violations of probation.
ADA Keith Slep was assigned 547, ADA Amanda Newton was assigned 520, ADA Andrew
Cornell was assigned 437, and ADA Michael B. Finn was assigned 275. DA Terrence M.
Parker assumed direct responsibility for 809 files, including the major felony cases, and
exercised supervisory authority over all other files. A Special Prosecutor was needed and
appointed to handle only 30 files in 2006.
Terrence M. Parker continued to serve as full-time District Attorney, completing his
ninth full year as District Attorney and 23 years as a prosecutor. ADA Keith Slep continued as
Chief Assistant. Amanda Newton, Andrew Cornell, and Michael B. Finn served as Assistant
District Attorneys as well. Norleen Enders and Ronnelle Drozdowski served as the
Confidential Secretaries to the District Attorney and Assistant District Attorneys for the year.
All prosecutors are encouraged and required to continue with professional development
training, and were afforded the opportunity for additional training and legal education through
the NYS Prosecutor’s Training Institute and the National College of District Attorneys. All
trainings and seminars, including travel expenses, were either free or at minimal cost to the
County. The District Attorney continued active involvement with the State DA’s Association,
serving on the Executive Committee of that organization.
This office continued its long-standing practice of support and involvement with the
Allegany County Consortium on Domestic Violence, Youth Court, Partners for Prevention,
Domestic Violence Response Team, and other community organizations connected to criminal
justice. Drug Court and Integrated Domestic Violence Courts were also continued, and
resulted in increased individual accountability of offenders and enhanced community safety
while producing significant financial savings for the County. Trainings for Rape Crisis
counselors were also provided during 2006, as in previous years. The District Attorney also
continued the practice of making presentations to school classes, service organizations, and
community groups throughout the County on the legal system, juvenile justice programs, and
drug court. The DA’s Office and the Director of Community Services in Allegany County
were jointly awarded a STEPS/Road to Recovery grant from the Division of Criminal Justice
Services in 2006 to target the severely addicted criminals and provide long term inpatient
treatment as an alternative to state prison for qualified individuals. Allegany County was one
of only a very few rural programs funded by the state.
Investigative services continued to be provided by this office in 2006 utilizing Retired
Sr. Investigator Dennis Vespucci of Clarksville, formerly of the Division of State Police. His
position is part-time and entirely grant-funded, and has no cost to County taxpayers. Paul
Wright of Wellsville and James Galatio of Cuba continued to serve on our staff as unpaid K-9
Investigators. K-9 investigations were undertaken in numerous narcotics, DWI, and other
details throughout the County, in a cooperative use of our resources.
270
LEGISLATORS’ PROCEEDINGS
Through a continuing grant from the New York State Crime Victim’s Program,
Shannon Ozzella continued to serve as Victim Services Coordinator in 2006. Mrs. Ozzella also
serves as Vice-President of the WNY Coalition of Crime Victim Service Providers.
Additional resources from outside sources were also retained for the County by our
office. Despite the state budget difficulties, Aid to Prosecution funding for Allegany County
was successfully renewed at steady levels. This award is for criminal prosecution services not
otherwise funded by the County. Additional efforts will continue in the year 2007 to ensure
that this funding stream continues as a permanent grant. As in past years, the majority of the
costs of this office are paid from outside funding sources, not County taxes.
In conclusion, 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 at:
http://www.alleganyco.com/default.asp?show=btn_DA, or request a copy from our office.

BOARD OF ELECTIONS
2006 ANNUAL REPORT
The year 2006 was a year of uncertainty and change for the Board of Elections.
Commissioners and Deputies attended HAVA mandated training sessions for Persons with
Disabilities, conferences, and regional meetings to keep abreast of the ever-changing way we
do business. We wrote grants for Voter Education and Poll Worker Training ($26,408) and
Polling Place Accessibility ($19,547). As a result of a civil suit brought against the NYS
Board of Elections, we were required to use a ballot marking device for persons with
disabilities in our office.
In January, the County Board of Elections became the owners of all the voting machines
in the County. An inventory was done to determine serial numbers, the condition of the
machines, and their locations. The County also became responsible for paying the inspectors
and machine custodians. The Commissioners met with the Board of Legislators and
determined these salaries, the method of payment, and how to bill the respective towns for
these services.
The Board handled a multitude of voter registrations, cancellations, requests, changes of
enrollments, verified DMV numbers with the State DMV, absentee ballot applications,
petitions, certificates of nomination from caucuses, a primary and a general election, and over
45,000 mandated mailings.
ELECTIONS 2006:
PETITIONS AND CAUCUSES: We received 146 Republican, Democrat, and Independence
Party designating petitions, and Independent Nominating Petitions for County Sheriff, 8th
Judicial District Delegates and Alternates, Republican and Democrat County Committee
People, Democrat and Independence Party State Committee People, and town offices in five
towns. Sixteen Certificates of Nomination were filed from town caucuses.
PRIMARY ELECTION, SEPTEMBER 14, 2006: The Republican Party primaries: U.S.
Senator, County Sheriff and County Committee people in Alfred 2 and Independence. Voter
turn out was 25 percent. Democrat Primaries: Governor, U.S. Senator, and State Attorney
General. Voter turn out was 16 percent. Absentee ballots sent 417; returned 257; counted 216.
Affidavit ballots received 39; counted 10; voided 11.
GENERAL ELECTION, November 7, 2006: Candidates on the ballot were: Governor/Lt.
Governor, State Comptroller, State Attorney General, U.S. Senator, State Supreme Court
Justice, Rep. in Congress, State Senator, Member of Assembly, County Sheriff, several town
offices and four local propositions in Alfred and Angelica. Absentee ballots issued 938;
returned 776; counted 737. Affidavit ballots received 124; counted 75; voided 49. Voter turn
out was 43 percent.
CAMPAIGN FINANCE: We received a total of 51 filings. Starting in 2006, local filers who
raise, expend, or carry a balance of $1,000 or more, must file electronically with the SBOE and
in hard copy with us.
ELECTION INSPECTORS: Eleven training sessions were held for 236 inspectors. Starting
this year inspectors must take a training class once a year and pass an exam. There were 234
inspectors certified, with two failing the exam.

LEGISLATORS’ PROCEEDINGS
VOTER REGISTRATION, ENROLLMENT, AND LIST MAINTENANCE:
At the
close of registration on October 13, there were 28,398 voters who were eligible to cast ballots
at the General Election.

implementation of HAVA and an approximate one-time reimbursement amount from the state
and federal governments.

OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES
2006 ANNUAL REPORT
With the advent of the construction of the new Jail and Public Safety Facility, space for
the Emergency Operations Center was incorporated. This includes the 911 Dispatch Center,
Fire Service, and the Office of Emergency Services administrative offices. Our previous
location at the County Office Building was “state-of-the-art” when constructed in 1978 and has
served its purpose well. After twenty-nine years, we now have windows to look out of!
With a FEMA approved County-wide Mitigation Plan in place, the County and
participating towns and villages are eligible to apply for hazard mitigation grant funding.
Currently an application, with the County as sponsor, has been submitted for just under
three million dollars to fund a project to stabilize two erosion sites on the Genesee River.
Homeland Security Grant funding has been used to enhance the capabilities of the
County’s hazardous materials response team, as well as the Jones Memorial Hospital’s
capabilities for decontamination of patients and personal protection of its emergency
personnel. Some funding was also appropriated to increase cyber security and enhance the
County government’s computer system.
Assistance has been given to local municipalities and our government departments for
compliance with the federal National Incident Management System (NIMS).
An exercise was conducted to test the capabilities of the local responders and the Jones
Memorial Hospital in dealing with an incident involving “contaminated” patients. Another
exercise was conducted with the County Health Department to test the capabilities of
inoculating a major portion of the County’s residents if a major health emergency such as a
pandemic should occur.
Plans and procedures were maintained and updated as required.
Various notifications and warnings were disseminated that included severe weather
events as required by our emergency management department. This is done with the assistance
of the County 911 Dispatch Center.
EMS training continues as “Course Sponsor” for State Health Department certification
for our volunteers. One hundred and twenty-five people have completed various level courses.

EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING ONE STOP CENTER
2006 ANNUAL REPORT
The Allegany County Employment & Training One Stop Center is the resource used by
job seekers for career and employment services, and by employers for job matching, preassessment, and screening assistance. The number of customers seeking services remained
steady in 2006, totaling 7,771. Center Staff made 2,256 referrals to job openings resulting in
349 direct placements. Four hundred eighty-seven individuals attended workshops, and 396
were tested for employment purposes.
One hundred forty-nine employers benefited from services that included the processing
of applications, testing for math/reading skill levels, on-the-job training/work experience
subsidies, and assistance with tax credit information. Thirty-seven contracts were written
which resulted in $37,551 direct savings to participating employers for costs associated with
the training of new employees.
Funding made available through the Workforce Investment Act assisted 92 County
residents in specific occupational skills training programs linked to current demand
occupations at a total cost of $100,634. Eligible Adult and Dislocated Workers participated in
training programs resulting in certifications leading to careers in Health Care, Education,
Transportation, Manufacturing, Technology, and Human Services. Eighty-six percent of those
who completed training in 2006 found employment at an average wage of $10.98 per hour.
Our Youth Program targets at-risk youth with services such as work experience,
exposure to post-secondary educational opportunities, occupational skills training, counseling,
and supportive services. Seventy-eight youth, ages 14-21, benefited from these activities
through the Summer Youth Employment Program. The Allegany County BOCES Center and
Alfred State College Vocational School served as host worksites for younger youth and did an
excellent job of providing a paid learning experience for this group. Twenty-two
private/public sector employers from all districts of the County also participated as worksites
for older youth. Additionally, thirty-two youth continued to receive services throughout the
year with an emphasis on drop out prevention, career exploration, job seeking skills, and work
experience.
The Center continues to provide intensive services for public assistance recipients.
Eight hundred three applicants were assessed for employability. Three hundred ninety-two
receiving benefits participated in workshops including job readiness training, individualized
job search, resume development, and job retention skills. As a result, welfare grant savings
were generated through employment, sanctions, and case closings for 183 individuals.
In summary, all program activities involved 922 individuals who benefited directly from
services such as tuition assistance, wage subsidies, supportive services, workshops, job
placement, and counseling.

FIRE SERVICE
2006 ANNUAL REPORT
During the year 2006, Allegany County Fire Department volunteers responded to 568
fire calls, 502 accidents, 180 false alarms (mostly at Alfred), 196 trees/lines down, 32 carbon
monoxide calls, 9 lost persons, and 13 haz mat incidents. Fire and independent ambulances
were dispatched from Allegany County for 3,650 ambulance calls.
Our Fire Investigation Team includes four (4) Senior Investigators and five (5) Regular
Investigators. Ange Szymanski was added to the team as a regular investigator in late 2006.
The team investigated 53 fires. Because they have become fully trained, we plan to add two
regular investigators to our team in 2007.
The six (6) District Deputy Coordinators attended all mutual aid incidents in their
districts and conducted meetings of the Chief Officers. These meetings keep officers aware of
current events and problems and provide the opportunity for them to know each other better.
Russ Hall, the 911 Coordinator, worked very hard this year on getting the new 911
Center up and running. Dealing with telephone companies and other agencies has not been
easy, but I believe that the transition has gone very well and still is a work in progress.
For the last two years, the state has given us a full schedule of courses. Courses have
become more intense, and testing has become a standard for every course. Also, because
portions of some courses require three (3) certified instructors, they are very demanding on our
instructors.
Our three NYS Certified Instructors conducted classes in 2006 with a total of 6,569
person hours. One of our state instructors is leaving, so we are looking for a new instructor.
The complete Annual Report for Fire Services (including a list of fires investigated, a
copy of the 911 dispatch report, and a list of courses taught) is on file in the Clerk of the Board
of Legislators’ Office, Allegany County Office Building, Belmont, New York.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH
2006 ANNUAL REPORT
Public health is not an easy concept for many people to understand. Our society has
traditionally looked at treating illnesses after they occur, rather than taking steps to prevent or
slow the onset of disease. With the exception, perhaps, of immunizations that can prevent a
great many of the more serious infectious diseases, our current system of health care might
better be referred to as a “Disease Care” system. Public Health, however, with its primary goal
of preventing illness, is more truly a “Health Care” system.
Have you ever eaten out at a restaurant in Allegany County, or are you connected to a
public water supply at home? If so, then you have experienced public health. Have you or a
family member ever received a vaccination at a health department clinic? Then you have
experienced public health. Do you have a child with a disability that has been served by our
Children’s Services Program? If so, then you have experienced public health. If you or a
family member has ever received home health care following a hospital stay, then you, too,
have experienced public health. All these activities, and more, as provided by or in association
with your County Health Department, are aimed at promoting health and preventing disease.
To change society’s vision of what health care truly is, we must work to market
ourselves to you, to increase your understanding of who we are and more importantly, what we
can do for you to help you live longer, healthier lives. We need to consistently work to do our
best for you, as members of our “County family,” to live up to our motto of “Taking Steps for
a Healthier Community.”
There is much work to be done. Cancer rates in Allegany County are well above state
and national averages for many types of cancer. Obesity, particularly childhood obesity, is a
nationwide problem that has not spared Allegany County. This problem has resulted in a
startling rise in adult-onset diabetes in children, a group in which this type of diabetes was
almost never found. Chronic disease, increasingly common as a result of our aging population,
is a hurdle we must face as more and more become afflicted with diseases that can cause years
of disability and put a tremendous strain on health care finances.
Your County Health Department is working to address these problems within the
limited resources we possess. However, if we do our job, and do it well, we can start to make
inroads that will lead to longer, healthier lives for those who use and benefit from our services,
for the fact remains that a great many of the illnesses that strike us are largely preventable. If
we do our part in promoting healthy lifestyles that include better eating habits, more exercise,
and reducing the use of tobacco and alcohol, large steps can be made that will reduce or
eliminate the progression toward the diseases that currently affect so many of us, our family
members, and friends.
To help achieve these ends, we need your help. We need you to be mindful of our
presence and the services we provide that you can make use of. Be mindful that in spite of
limited resources, we will work hard on your behalf to meet our program objectives. If you
have a positive experience with the Health Department, let us know. Better yet, let your
friends and neighbors know also. If you have a negative experience with us, let us know that
as well. The eyes and ears of the community are often our best resource to note where our
shortcomings may be. Letting us know will help us provide better services to you and the
community, and that benefits us all. We are all residents of this home we call Allegany
County, and if we pitch in together, we can make a difference in our lives and the lives of those
we care about.

ANNUAL REPORTS
The Health Department’s complete Annual Report, on file in the Clerk of the Board of
Legislators’ Office, summarizes the efforts of the employees and contracted services of the
Allegany County Department of Health for 2006. The information serves to illustrate the wide
realm of responsibilities we have and services we provide to all who reside within our
County’s boundaries. We do not work in a vacuum. Collaborating agencies or institutions that
include the New York State Department of Health, the Western New York Public Health
Alliance, other departments or offices within Allegany County government, our local hospitals
and health care providers, our local school districts, businesses and industries, the Cornell
Cooperative Extension, the SAY Network, and the Allegany/Western Steuben Rural Health
Network, are just a few of the partners we work with in establishing a comprehensive public
health program within Allegany County, allowing us to constantly build on our efforts to take
the necessary steps toward a healthier community.

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY
2006 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.
Alstom Preheater Expansion – In December of 2006, Alstom Preheater in Wellsville
announced a $15 million expansion to their existing manufacturing facility. Alstom also plans
to expand its employment by at least 75 positions. In addition to the IDA, assistance was
provided by Empire State Development and the Friendship Empire Zone. Construction began
with a groundbreaking in December, with completion scheduled for Fall 2007.
Board Appointment – Theodore Hopkins, businessman and County Legislator, was appointed
to the Industrial Development Agency Board. He fills the position due to the resignation of

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
2006 ANNUAL REPORT
The Department of Information Technology continues to service all computers,
computer related equipment, and telephone equipment throughout the County with a staff of
four people. We implemented a voice over internet protocol system at the Public Safety
Facility. We continue to save the County money by doing all the programming and changes
needed for the phone system. We have the knowledge of programming the phones and moving
and punching down lines when personnel move within a department. It continues to be more
cost effective doing the work in house rather than contracting with an outside company. The
technicians had a total of 101.25 hours overtime for the year, which was an increase of sixtyfour hours from last year. This increase is primarily due to the installation of phones and
computers at the new Public Safety Facility.
The department continues to provide technical support to all County offices and
departments. Our support involves the purchase of new computers, setting them up, and
installing the software necessary for the employees to do their jobs. The technicians
troubleshoot all computers, servers, printers, and connectivity for all departments located at the
Belmont facilities, as well as facilities located in Wellsville and Alfred. Overtime was also
related to setting up the network for the WIC office, which moved from Riverside to the new
facility on State Route 417 in Wellsville. The department charged back over twenty six
hundred hours to various departments for reimbursement of our time.

PARKS AND REFORESTATION
2006 ANNUAL REPORT
County Park areas consist of the Rushford Swim Area, the Seneca Oil Spring Park, and
the County Cemetery.
The swim area at Rushford Lake saw intense usage for 2006, hosting thousands of
visitors from the general public, as well as busloads of students from schools. Waterfront
Director Bill Mosgrove continued to provide flawless supervision of lifeguards, maintenance
of the water supply, and facility operation. Department of Public Works summer crews assisted
with mowing and grounds keeping at the facility.
The Seneca Oil Spring Park is located on the Seneca Reservation just below Cuba Lake.
The park exhibits heavy usage by tourists, the public, and the Seneca Nation. The Oil Spring
and Monument area, as well as the footbridge access to the site, are in good repair. In 2006,
there did not appear to be problems with unsanctioned gathering and camping, which has been
an issue in the past. Department of Public Works summer crews assisted with the mowing and
grounds keeping at the facility.
The County Cemetery, off County Route 2 just east of Angelica, was located near the
old County Home and infirmary and is the location for over 100 graves from the 1800’s and
early 1900’s. Approximately 30 years ago, the marker stones were gathered and placed around
a central garden for preservation and maintenance purposes. Department of Public Works
summer crews assisted with the mowing and grounds keeping at the facility.
There are 2,050 acres of Reforestation areas under County ownership. The 20 Lots are
grouped into 10 Management Areas. The Soil and Water Conservation District utilizes a
consulting forester to cruise, mark, and coordinate the sale of forest products. Two sales were
identified, marked, and offered for sale in 2006. One of the sales for 68.4 thousand board feet
of hardwood trees resulted in a revenue of $40,701. This represents 81.4 percent of the
projected revenues for the year. A $5,000 softwood sale of 2,181 trees was bid out; however,
the final contract and payment will appear in 2007. Department of Public Works crews are
harvesting hardwood tops from harvested County lots to use as fuel for the regional shops
which utilize wood heat.

PUBLIC DEFENDER
2006 ANNUAL REPORT
The year 2006 was a year of big changes in the Public Defender’s Office. Upon Beth
Farwell’s abrupt resignation in September, Attorney Barbara Kelley was appointed interim
Public Defender and ultimately permanent Public Defender. Patricia Fogarty was promoted to
First Assistant. A search was conducted to fill the position of Second Assistant. Attorney
Nora Carnes was hired as a legal intern, pending her admission to the NYS Bar. A conditional
practice order was obtained from the Appellate Division allowing Ms. Carnes to handle certain
cases prior to her admission.
With the opening of the new Jail, space for the Public Defender’s Office opened up in
the County Office Building. At the end of November we were able to consolidate the previous
office occupied by Beth Farwell in Wellsville, Ms. Kelley’s office in Bolivar, and Room 218.
With the help of Maintenance and Information Technology, we were able to begin full-time
operations from the former site of the Sheriff’s Office.
Maintaining a full-time office in Belmont has greatly improved our efficiency and
ability to provide effective advocacy to our clients.
The Public Defender’s Office opened 814 new files in 2006. There were 211 Family
Court matters. There were 117 Felony criminal matters and 342 Misdemeanor cases. There
were 47 cases involving Parole or Probation Violations or other matters. Forty-eight cases
were turned over to the Allegany/Cattaraugus Legal Services, Inc. due to conflicts. Fourcases
were rejected due to ineligibility, and 28 cases resulted in defendants retaining other counsel.
Two cases declined representation, and eight petitions were withdrawn or not filed. We had
five Drug Court cases and two cases for the new Integrated Domestic Violence Court.
In addition to the regular duties of Family Court and criminal matters, the Public
Defender’s Office actively participated in two new courts established in Allegany County:
Drug Court and Integrated Domestic Violence (IDV) Court. Both courts require substantial
time commitments from the Office of the Public Defender.
The members of the Public Defender’s Office remain committed to zealous
representation of our clients and the protection of their statutory and constitutional rights.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
2006 ANNUAL REPORT
The Department of Public Works has maintained a reasonable level of service that is
expected by those we serve, despite the County’s continued financial situation. The dedication
of our employees has made the difference, regardless of a reduction in funding. We will
continue our efforts to provide a safe transportation system and a viable solid waste program
for the citizens of Allegany County.
CHIPS aid in the amount of $1,723,582.52 was received from New York State. There
were 21.28 miles of road Hot Mixed paved, along with Dense Grade Cold Mix being applied to
CR5B and CR46. Funds were also used on the Satterlee Hill Road Bridge in Almond and on
BR05-02 on CR2B.
Public Works started/completed two Bridges on the County Road System. Three Town
structures were completed for the Towns. County crews were busy repairing Red Flags on
numerous structures. County crews replaced a Culvert on High Street in the Village of
Angelica under FEMA.
Work continued on the CR46, East Hill Road Historic Bridge in Caneadea. Engineering
was started on two bridges on CR16 in Angelica and the Truax Road Bridge in the Town of
Wellsville.
The Bridge Maintenance Crew worked on eighty-eight different structures during the
year.
The final acre of the Phase I Closure Project at the County Landfill was completed by
County employees. Another project involved the modification of a storm water removal
system in cell 8 to ready this cell for waste disposal, which will commence in 2007. A total of
2,405 tons of waste were recycled with revenues of $131,577.05. The County landfilled
30,764.2 tons of solid waste. Tipping fees amounted to $546,311.39.
The Buildings and Grounds staff was busy with many moves during 2006. The Health
Department had several offices moved, and the Public Defender’s Office was relocated to the
former Sheriff’s Office. The most challenging part of the year was the opening of the new
County Jail and Public Safety Facility. Training programs were attended and numerous “bugs”
had to be worked out.
I would like to thank my staff for their dedication and all our employees for a job well
done. Also, I would like to thank the Board of Legislators, especially the Public Works
Committee, whose support and interest in this department has been invaluable.

REAL PROPERTY TAX SERVICE AGENCY
2006 ANNUAL REPORT
In compliance with Section 1532 R.P.T.L.
County Reporting: Allegany
Reporting Period: Calendar Year 2006
Major Functions: Maintenance of Assessment Rolls, Tax Rolls, Tax Maps and Assessor
Training
MAINTENANCE OF ASSESSMENT ROLLS AND TAX ROLLS:
The production of 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 were 28 towns with the Real Property System
on their own computers and were responsible for their own processing in 2006. 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-5217) were delivered daily by the County
Clerk’s Office. Split-offs of property sales are plotted on the maps and map overlays, and new
tax map index cards are generated. The overlays and copies of the index cards are sent to the
assessors along with copies of the deeds and property transfer reports. There were 2,144
transfers in Allegany County in 2006. Revenue from the sale of tax maps was $8,950.35. All
tax maps have been digitized and the NYSORPS has approved and certified them for use.
Also, GIS coverages are updated and maintained on a monthly basis.
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 Services. Many of the
Assessors in Allegany County took advantage of the consolidated training courses offered by
the State Office of Real Property Services. The Allegany County Assessor’s 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 are still in the
process of updating our GIS capabilities and looking for new ways to assist other departments
with this information. We are continuing our efforts to incorporate the Pictometry photos, GIS
maps, and tax maps with the RPS V4 system. 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 have reapplied for the technology grant
through the NYS Office of Real Property to help assist us in upgrading our technology
capabilities. As of this date, we have received tentative approval from the State and are
waiting for the final notice. I remain an active member of the Western Region County
Directors Association of which I am Coordinator/Treasurer. I attended the spring and summer
training conferences in Albany and Lake Placid, and continue to host the monthly County
Assessors Association meetings where we continue to assist assessors 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.

ANNUAL REPORTS
OFFICE OF THE SHERIFF
2006 ANNUAL REPORT
Two events from 2006 will remain in the consciousness of the men and women of our
Office. The Allegany County Sheriff’s Office completed the construction of the new Allegany
County Jail and Public Safety Facility. The Office completed the move without incident on
August 24, 2006. Three members of the New York State Commission of Correction were on
site and commented that it was one of the best moves they have seen. Much of the year
revolved around the completion and the successful occupation of the new Jail, and members of
the Office completed this enormous task on time and under budget. On November 7, 2006,
Sheriff Randal J. Belmont was defeated in the general election and Sheriff William Tompkins
took Office at midnight on December 31, 2006.
During the past year, 741 inmates were booked in, a one percent decrease from 2005.
One inmate was housed for another county, and 18 inmates were sentenced and transported to
state prison. The highest single day population was 74 inmates, 54 males and 22 females. The
average daily population was 47 inmates. The total number of meals served was 44,616, a two
percent increase from 2005, with an average cost per meal of $1.30. There were 595 transports
in 2006, down from 724 in 2005, mainly because there is no longer a need to house out inmates
to other counties.
Civil Deputies served 1,288 civil processes in 2006. These include 861 Summonses,
338 Property or Income Executions, 29 Eviction Proceedings, 22 Subpoenas, and four Civil
Arrests. The Sheriff’s Office collected Undertakings, Fines, Bail, Fees, and Monies for
Judgment Creditors in the amount of $951,427.19.
Selective enforcement activity, community policing, and assists to other agencies
resulted in 136 arrests. Public Safety Dispatchers logged 83,157 calls of which 15,705 were
emergency 911 calls.
Court Deputies had 35,737 people pass through the magnetometer, an increase of 4,379
over 2005, for an average of 144 people per day. There were a total of 231 items confiscated
and four warrant arrests were made.
I anticipate that 2007 will be a year of change as the Allegany County Sheriff’s Office
has new leadership. The Office will work together to satisfy the need for prudent fiscal
responsibility, and I am confident the men and women of the Allegany County Sheriff’s Office
will meet the challenges of the coming year with grace.

families, protect individuals, and promote self-sufficiency. In 2006, several new initiatives
began including the brokerage of medical transportation being brought back into the
department, and a leadership initiative started with our management team.
Staffing in the department remains constant, with nine new employees hired in 2006.
Five were due to retirement, one due to resignation, and three were new positions. The DSS
Nurse and another Social Welfare Examiner position in HEAP are fully funded through state
and federal dollars. We also added a Senior Caseworker position in the Child Protective Unit.
The department will experience high turnover during the next five to ten years. Of the 113
employees in the department, 54 are age 50 and over. Training will continue to be a priority to
keep the workforce educated and equipped to handle the diverse demands of the department.
DSS was again successful in staying under budget. The department did expend the
amount budgeted, but was able to bring in revenue in excess of the budgeted level. We closed
our books with a $1,452,592 surplus balance. The Medicaid Cap continues to consume the
greatest share of our local tax dollars.

STOP DWI PROGRAM
2006 ANNUAL REPORT
In 2006, the Allegany County STOP DWI Program completed 22 years as a community
based resource totally funded by drunk driver fines. The 2006 budget of $150,054 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, seven municipalities plus the Allegany County Sheriff’s Office, the
New York State Police, and the SUNY Alfred Police participated in unannounced DWI
patrols. A total of 361 alcohol-related arrests were made in 2006. Five agencies participated
in two County-wide “blanket” patrols.
The STOP DWI Office continues to provide funding to the District Attorney’s Office to
assist prosecutions of DWI arrests. The Probation Department received $21,000 for the year
2006 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, MADD,
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 2006, four Victim Impact Panels were held with 187 defendants attending.
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. Donations were made for school-based drug
and alcohol-free parties and to assist schools in purchasing products that can be used to educate
students about the hazards of drinking and driving. The very successful initiative, Teen New
Year’s Eve Event 2006, was sponsored by STOP DWI for the sixth year with a grant from
ACASA and with clerical assistance from the Youth for Christ staff. Our youths enjoyed the
safe and fun-filled activities which are an alternative to the traditional celebrations. Several
adults also attended with their younger children.
STOP DWI is grateful for the efforts of local and state legislators who have lobbied to
increase sanctions for repeat offenders and for tighter controls on alcohol sales to minors.

TOURISM
2006 ANNUAL REPORT
The Office of Tourism and Culture produced 125,000 copies of the Allegany County
Travel & Outdoor Guide as our primary vehicle to promote the County as a travel and
recreation destination. The guides were distributed at travel shows; AAA’s; New York State
Parks and Information Centers on I-86; I-90 in Rochester; and other tourism promotion
agencies throughout New York State, the Northeastern United States, and Canada. We are in
over 200 locations in Erie and Monroe Counties alone. The 2006 guide was completely
redesigned with a new “magazine/catalog” look, featuring our Bicentennial throughout the
guide. We were awarded first place as the New York State Tourism Matching Funds Best
County Travel Guide, for excellence in the creation of a publication promoting New York
State as a tourism destination at the 2006 Governor’s Tourism Conference.
We continued to expand upon our successful award winning “Our Allegany County
Communities” advertising campaign. This campaign highlights our communities’ heritage,
history, and culture, along with our six exits on I-86. Ad response continues to grow annually.
The Allegany County/I Love New York cooperative ad program again exceeded our
revenue goals in 2006. This program partners with events, attractions, and communities
promoting Allegany County as a tourism destination.
In September of this year, The Gift Shop at Fillmore Pharmacy agreed to open a Tourist
Information area providing tourism promotional materials to the traveling public, adding to the
number of locations already established. Partnering with the private sector, we have Allegany
County Tourism information available at key locations throughout the County in addition to
the Allegany County Visitor Center at Exit 30 off I-86.
Allegany County continues to hold our market position within the region through our
leadership role in the administration of the regional matching funds program. The year 2006
completes my eleventh year as the Chautauqua/Allegheny Regional Director.
The
Chautauqua/Allegheny Region is one of eleven vacation regions in New York State. The
region is comprised of Allegany, Cattaraugus, and Chautauqua Counties.
As always, our 2006 quarterly and annual reporting and accountabilities to the New
York State Department of Economic Development Division of Tourism have been completed
and filed. The I Love New York Matching Funds program provides for 97 percent of the funds
for the marketing and promotion of the Allegany County Tourism Industry.
Finally, we applied for and received notice of our Matching Funds Grant Award for
2007. We were awarded $76,836.

TRAFFIC SAFETY BOARD
2006 ANNUAL REPORT
The Allegany County Traffic Safety Board once again had a booth at the Allegany
County Fair, which we shared with the New York State Police and the Allegany County STOP
DWI Program. This booth promotes Traffic Safety through educational handouts and activities
for young people. The Allegany County Town Highway Superintendent’s Association
graciously donated two bicycles that were given away as our Grand Prizes. The Traffic Safety
Board would like to thank all of the area businesses that donated items for our Fair booth.
The Board purchased and distributed 140 multi-sport helmets and 1,300 Halloween
safety glow sticks for distribution to kids all around the County.
The Board submitted grant applications to Albany on behalf of four different County
agencies totaling over $17,000 that channeled money back to assist local safety programs and
promote the local economy.
The Board once again supported the child safety seat program, Protect Allegany County
Kids (PACK), which sponsored child safety seat check stations throughout the County. Very
special thanks go out to the entire group of child safety seat certified technicians and all of the
people who volunteer their time to insure the safety of our young vehicle passengers.
Finally, the Traffic Safety Board continues to work with local agencies and citizens to
prioritize and establish an interactive network to address safety concerns within the County.

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
2006 ANNUAL REPORT
The year 2006 began with the annual reports to the County and state being filed. I
began the year by organizing my duties to try to eliminate the amount of repetition that
occurred in previous years. I felt that some reduction was accomplished, although 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 four stations that upgraded their pumps to enable
continued sales when the price of gas went over $3.00 per gallon, as half pricing variances are
no longer available. Enforcement of price signs being on top of pumps and being current is
still a bit of an issue when prices are changing all the time.
Testing this year covered 200 establishments with 828 inspections made. The seven
grocery stores and 14 other food store/delis were checked. The 49 commercial gas stations,
including two marinas, were tested, inspected, and approved. This year 111 gas and diesel
samples were taken under the NYS Octane Testing Program with no failures. All 12
pharmacies and two hospital pharmacies were tested, inspected, and approved. All 15 (one
new, one reactivated) active truck scales were tested with one failure that was subsequently
repaired. Seventeen bulk tanks were checked and/or recalibrated with three being new farms.
There were seven businesses closed and ten new openings under my jurisdiction this year.

I had a few phone inquiries about devices (mostly Indian gas stations) in the County and
one about tax on a gallon of gas. I had a complaint on diesel fuel that couldn’t be resolved.
All violations found during testing and inspecting were explained to owners or managers 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.

Allegany County employee hearings are typically held in Hornell, Olean, Buffalo, and
Rochester, but can be requested by the claimant at any state-wide site. More Administrative
(paper) and Pre-Hearing Conference Decisions, thereby closing cases before formal hearings,
have favorably reduced the number of hearings conducted and improved the timeliness of
decisions.
Individual safety awards were presented at luncheons for the Villages, Towns, and
County Public Works Department employees. This marked the tenth year of departmental
safety awards to volunteer fire companies and ambulance corps for 100 percent physical
compliance and no lost time claims. Six organizations were recognized at the July County Fire
Convention in Andover.

YOUTH BUREAU
2006 ANNUAL REPORT
During 2006, the Office of Children and Family Services allocated $119,708 to
Allegany County for youth programs. Of this money, $29,032 supported eight Special
Delinquency Prevention Programs; $33,552 was granted to 23 municipalities including
Allegany County for the operation of recreation programs; $16,191 was used to offset
administrative costs of running the Youth Bureau; $29,861 was allocated to ten Youth Service
Programs directed toward Youth Development; and $11,072 was used to fund five County
Programs using Youth Initiative monies.
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 participant in Communities that Care and as a member of the Partners for
Prevention in Allegany County (PPAC), this agency continues to work with others to address
identified gaps in services to our County youth and families. Similarly, the Bureau has
contributed statistical information to the Data Partnership which has established a single
database on the Internet that can be accessed by all Allegany County agencies for grant-writing
and reporting purposes.
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 STEP & 1st STEP (adventure
based/experiential programs), the Summer Youth Employment Program, the Southern Tier
Traveling Teacher, and Youth Compeer.
Since November 2003, the Youth Bureau has administered the Allegany County Youth
Court. The Youth Court has nearly doubled its membership and referrals under the leadership
of Coordinator Sienna Markel. By 2006, 96 cases were tried in the Court with a recidivism
rate of less than 10 percent. The Court now has 57 trained members, 18 of whom are former
defendants.
In 2006, the Youth Bureau continued its outreach to area schools to find ways to better
serve our youth. The Bureau has been privileged to partner with the Allegany-Cattaraugus
BOCES, Houghton College, and several local school districts on a 21st Century Learning grant.
The Bureau also continues to participate in Allegany County’s Business, Education, and
Community Coalition to foster the Youth Career Day. The Bureau offers Internships to
BOCES students, Houghton’s Upward Bound Program, and students from SUNY Alfred and
Alfred University.
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.
The Allegany County Youth Bureau is committed to encouraging the development of
innovative youth programs which are based upon the principles of Youth Development.
The Youth Bureau wishes to extend thanks to the members of the Youth Board, the
Youth Court Board, the Public Safety Committee, and the Board of Legislators for their
continued support and assistance.
