APPROVAL OF MINUTES: The Board meeting minutes of December 27, 2005 and January 3, 2006 were approved on a motion made by Legislator Dibble, seconded by Legislator Truax and carried. 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. 17 LEGISLATORS’ PROCEEDINGS As there were declared closed. no further comments, the public hearing was Chairman Crandall opened a public hearing regarding “The Modification and Continuation of Agricultural District Number Two Created within the Towns of Allen, Amity, Andover, Angelica, Belfast, Birdsall, Clarksville, Cuba, Friendship, Scio, Ward, West Almond, Wellsville, and Wirt.” 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. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS, COMMUNICATIONS, REPORTS, ETC.: 1.

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.

Chairman Crandall granted privilege of the floor to Clark and Lori Brown, for the presentation of two military flags sent back 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.

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.

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.

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.

The memorial was dedicated on November 1, 1986, with approximately 800 people in attendance, including local and state officials.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES: The Board meeting minutes of April 10, 2006 were approved on a motion made by Legislator Kruger, seconded by Legislator Truax and carried. 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 annual Fair Board dinner on May 9. 2. Correspondence was received from Leslie Haggstrom thanking the Board for their donation to the Angelica Free Library in memory of her son, Carl. 3. A media release was received from Southern Tier West Regional Planning and Development Board summarizing highlights of their April board meeting. 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. RESOLUTIONS: Resolution Intro. No. 102-06 (Approval and Adoption of Allegany County Vehicle Usage Policy) was TABLED and referred back to the Ways and Means Committee following a motion made by Legislator Ungermann, seconded by Legislator Kruger and carried (Opposed: Legislator Hall).

Prior to the motion to table the resolution, a motion was made by Legislator Kruger to enter executive session and subsequently withdrawn.

Crandall. Pledge of allegiance to the flag. The invocation was given by Legislator Fanton. Roll Call: 15 Present; 0 Absent. 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. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS, COMMUNICATIONS, REPORTS, ETC.: 1. Placed on each legislator’s desk was a copy of the Report of Tax Bill Corrections approved by the County Administrator for the month of April 2006. 2.

RESOLUTION NO. 112-06 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.

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.)

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. 126 LEGISLATORS’ PROCEEDINGS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS, COMMUNICATIONS, REPORTS, ETC.: 1.

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.

(Allegany County’s Local Dollar Share of the NYS Medicaid Program 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 140 LEGISLATORS’ PROCEEDINGS 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. -------July 24, 2006 The regular meeting of the Board of Legislators was called to order at 2:05 p.m. by Chairman Curtis W.

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”).

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.

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. 177 LEGISLATORS’ PROCEEDINGS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS, COMMUNICATIONS, REPORTS, ETC.: 1.

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 LEGISLATORS’ PROCEEDINGS 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.

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. 190 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. Pledge of allegiance to the flag. The invocation was given by Legislator Hopkins. Roll Call: 15 Present; 0 Absent.

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.

Respectfully submitted, Kimberley Toot, Director 259 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.

Hull, M.S., Deputy Public Health Director 262 LEGISLATORS’ PROCEEDINGS 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 264 LEGISLATORS’ PROCEEDINGS COUNTY ATTORNEY 2006 ANNUAL REPORT The Allegany County Attorney's Office provided legal representation to the County Board of Legislators and all other County offices and departments. This involved the rendering of formal and informal opinions, legal research, attendance at conferences, attendance at Board and Committee meetings, and individual and group consultations, as well as preparation for and appearances in Supreme, County, and Family Court actions and proceedings. In addition, laws affecting County operations were examined and appropriate legal advice rendered as a result.

The following extensive Family Court work was performed: a. b. c. Preparation/prosecution of 48 juvenile delinquency proceedings. Preparation/prosecution of 35 Persons In Need of Supervision proceedings. Preparation/prosecution of 234 neglect and child abuse proceedings. The Allegany County Support Collection Unit collected a total of $6,130,951 for calendar year 2006. Of that amount collected, $436,102 will reimburse public assistance grants. The number of paternity cases established in calendar year 2006 was 223. In addition to the receipt of $240,000 of anticipated revenues, the County Attorney's Office received unanticipated revenues of $99,650 for legal services rendered to the Social Services Department and STOP DWI Office. Thus, total 2006 revenues were $339,650. Respectfully submitted, Daniel J.

Christman, County Clerk 267 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. Respectfully submitted, Craig R. Braack, County Historian 268 LEGISLATORS’ PROCEEDINGS 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. Respectfully submitted, John E. Foels, Director 269 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.

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.

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. 274 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. BUDGET: Our budget for 2006 was $635,741. This budget included monies for the implementation of HAVA and an approximate one-time reimbursement amount from the state and federal governments. James Gallman, Commissioner John Colligan, Commissioner 275 ANNUAL REPORTS 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. Respectfully submitted, John C. Tucker, Director 276 LEGISLATORS’ PROCEEDINGS 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. Jerry L. Garmong, Director 277 ANNUAL REPORTS 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. Respectfully submitted, Paul W. Gallmann, Fire Coordinator 278 LEGISLATORS’ PROCEEDINGS 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. 279 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.

Ruckle, Personnel Officer 281 ANNUAL REPORTS 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 Jeffrey Spear. Mr. Hopkins represents District I on the Legislative Board. Friendship Empire Zone – The Friendship Empire Zone relocated their offices to the Crossroads Commerce Center.

Foels, Executive Director 282 LEGISLATORS’ PROCEEDINGS 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. Respectfully submitted, Deborah M. Button, Director 283 ANNUAL REPORTS 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.

Sirianni, Director 286 LEGISLATORS’ PROCEEDINGS 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. Respectfully submitted, Barbara J. Kelley, Public Defender 287 ANNUAL REPORTS 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. Respectfully submitted, David S. Roeske, Superintendent 288 LEGISLATORS’ PROCEEDINGS 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. Respectfully submitted, Steven G. Presutti, Director 289 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. William Tompkins, Sheriff 290 LEGISLATORS’ PROCEEDINGS DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES 2006 ANNUAL REPORT Allegany County Department of Social Services continues our mission to preserve 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 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. Deborah Aumick, Coordinator 293 ANNUAL REPORTS 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.

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.

This Agency provides the following services: Veteran Administration home loans information, service connected compensation claims, New York State tax exemptions from real property, burial, educational, pension benefits, completion of Annual Income Reports, and assistance with any inquiries and settlements of Veterans Life Insurance. To provide these services, a total of 2,008 letters and telephone calls were sent and received, and 384 personal visits were held with Veterans and various service organizations. Approximately 75 percent of letters going out were for Veteran claims. There were 55 out-ofoffice contacts, including nine home visits to Veterans or widows too disabled to make an office visit. The Director also made calls to Nursing Homes in the area. Monetary benefits realized by Veterans of the County and their families are as follows: COMPENSATION & PENSION: $6,058,530; EDUCATION: $1,074,100; TOTAL BENEFITS: $7,132,630. Major accomplishments of this office include continuing working with the Blue Star Families of Allegany County Support Group in raising awareness of our local youths serving in the military. Our office has added to our list of Purple Heart Recipients which stands at 231 and counting. Our office continues the project for adding the names of WW II veterans to the WW II Memorial in Washington, DC. Our office, working with various veterans’ groups, has seen the Wellsville Veterans’ Clinic grow to the extent that it appears the VA Clinic will be moving to larger quarters and be run by VA employees in the near future. Respectfully submitted, H. Scott Spillane, Director 296 LEGISLATORS’ PROCEEDINGS 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. Device test summary follows: DEVICE Scales Liquid Measures Weights Miscellaneous Non-Commercial Total Tests PACKAGES IN LOTS MEASURED 820 CORRECT 268 532 179 35 28 1,042 INCORRECT 11 13 0 1 0 25 TOTAL 279 545 179 36 28 1,067 PACKAGES MEASURED 133 LOTS PASSED 9 LOTS FAILED 0 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. Respectfully submitted, Gilbert Green, Director 297 ANNUAL REPORTS MUTUAL SELF-INSURANCE PLAN (WORKERS’ COMPENSATION) 2006 ANNUAL REPORT The Allegany County Mutual Self-Insurance Plan is the Workers’ Compensation insurance carrier for all County, Town, Village, Private Industry Council, and Soil & Water Conservation District employees. In addition, all active Allegany County Volunteer Firefighters and Volunteer Ambulance Corps workers are covered. Approximately 2,700 people are insured by the Plan.

In addition, all Volunteer Firefighter and Ambulance Corps members are required, under the Local Law, to have a physical before acting in the line of duty. Our office maintains all physical records by department, organization, and individual on a permanent basis. COMPARISON OF HEARING RESULTS 2006 2005 Continued 18 24 Closed 12 26 TOTAL 30 50 INCREASE (DECREASE) (6) (14) (20) 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. Respectfully submitted, Douglas A. Dillon, Executive Secretary 298 LEGISLATORS’ PROCEEDINGS 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.
