2014 BUDGET MESSAGE FROM

DANIEL P. McCOY

October 2013

To the Members of the Albany County Legislature and the People of Albany County,

I present to you a 2014 Execu ve Budget that is balanced; meets our fiduciary responsibili es as well as moral obliga ons; and

is a path to financial health for Albany County. This budget meets the needs of Albany County residents and is under the prop‐

erty tax cap, a remarkable accomplishment given the financial burden that the County has been under since 2008. In fact, this

increase of 1.6% is the lowest in the last 5 budget years. When I took office in 2012, it was apparent the financial hardship the

County was shouldering. Facing an inherited $15 million rolling deficit, my administra on has aggressively sought to reduce

spending, streamline opera ons and con nue to efficiently deliver vital services. Innova ve thinking and diligence have elimi‐

nated millions from our deficit, reducing it to $10.9 million. Likewise, our general fund reserves increased from $23.2 million to

$27.4 million during 2012. It is important that this figure con nues to grow in order to ensure that our bond ra ng does not

suffer. This was not achieved through a one‐shot tax increase or budget tricks but with true savings during a me of financial

crisis. As County Execu ve, I am proud that this administra on has been able to step up and deliver a budget that is under the

property tax cap.

A debilita ng recession forced us to find efficiencies and cost savings since day one of my administra on. During my second

State of the County Address in March 2013, I talked about a road to financial recovery. Internally, physical consolida on of

many County departments has also achieved drama c savings and increased revenues.

I’ve taken this cost savings and consolida on message to each of our municipali es during a State of the County tour. Leaders

throughout Albany County agree that with all local governments facing similar financial constraints, we need to work together.

In furtherance of that effort, this year the County has successfully obtained a grant for a county‐wide shared highway services

study. We’ve worked with the Sheriff’s Office to consolidate dispatch centers in several municipali es and will con nue to ex‐

plore each and every op on to share services and maximize our limited resources while we regain our financial foo ng.

In stride with our efforts to bring Albany County into the 21st century, my administra on has created Team Green which focus‐

es on environmentally valuable and crucial cost saving ini a ves. Each of these efforts is noted throughout this booklet by a

leaf logo. Addi onally, our Team Green subcommi ee, which consists of representa ves from each county department, meets

regularly to discuss progress on green ini a ves and to collaborate on new ideas. Through improvements in our recycling poli‐

cies, paper reduc on efforts and the implementa on of our county‐wide County of Albany Legisla ve Management (CALM)

system, we are mi ga ng our environmental impact while also saving money. This is truly essen al and exci ng progress for

Albany County.

Perhaps one of the most transforma ve accomplishments for Albany County in 2013 was the re‐opening of Lawson Lake to the

public. In my State of the County Address, I highlighted Lawson Lake as one of our area’s greatest assets, pledging to work with

Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple and Albany County District A orney David Soares to revitalize the grounds so that kids could

once again experience summer at the lake. The immediate renova ons and developments included rehabilita on of exis ng

buildings and facility improvements such as air condi oning, landscaping, increased Sheriff patrols and new trail markings done

by the Albany County Sheriff Explorers. These renova ons were done in part by the Boys and Girls Clubs of Albany and the In‐

mate Workforce provided by the Albany County Sheriff.

In conjunc on with our invaluable partners, St. Catherine’s Center for Children, The Pride Center of the Capital Region, Boys &

Girls Clubs of Albany and CDTA, we were able to host a free day camp in July and August. The ability to partner with public and

private en es to revive a moribund facility is a shining example of what we can accomplish. Our ul mate goal is to open up

Lawson Lake for overnight guests and restore all buildings and grounds



DANIEL P. McCOY

for use. We can con nue to improve our County and create unique opportuni es for our residents with partnerships of this kind.

There are a number of other programs and services provided by Albany County that I would like to highlight. Our Department of

Social Services Welfare Fraud Unit has worked with the Sheriff’s Office to inves gate fraud which resulted in a number of arrests.

The Welfare Fraud Unit has iden fied more than $270,000 in funds for recovery from cases closed due to fraudulent DSS child

care claims. Our foster care costs are the lowest in the State when compared to other coun es of our size, a credit to the work of

our Department for Children Youth and Families. Our Veterans Service Bureau has partnered with many private and non‐profit

en es to provide coats for homeless veterans and to spread the word about the Veteran’s Tax Exemp on deadline in March.

This is just a snapshot of our progress and improvement to necessary programs and services that Albany County offers.

One issue that dominates the budget discussion in Albany County is the fate of the Albany County Nursing Home. Opera ons

cost the County one million ($1,000,000.00) dollars per month. One year ago, I proposed a solu on that would protect our vul‐

nerable seniors and their caregivers; protect our taxpayers and accept financial responsibility. My proposal to lease the facility to

a proprietary operator would have saved taxpayers no less than $100 million over the next ten years. The Legislature did not

agree to this straigh orward solu on that would have protected our seniors while providing addi onal services to seniors resid‐

ing in the community. A er months of discussion and nego a on with majority leadership, I agreed to hire an administrator for

the nursing home to con nue running the facility while the Legislature creates a Local Development Corpora on. This budget

reflects County funding for the nursing home un l June 30, 2014, by which me the Local Development Corpora on will take

over opera ons. Such ac on will put Albany County on be er and more stable financial ground.

Another detriment to our financial health is the issue of unfunded mandates. Par cularly there are eight unfunded mandates

dispropor onately driving our tax levy. Those mandates are Medicaid, public assistance, child welfare, pre‐school educa on,

indigent defense, proba on, early interven on, and youth deten on. These expenditures are beyond our control, but there is

good news. Increases to weekly Medicaid contribu ons rose less than expected in 2013, which speed up future savings into

2013. Similarly, early reports indicate that our weekly Medicaid share in 2014 will be stable or decrease slightly. In order to rein in

our indigent legal defense costs, this budget includes grant monies that have been awarded, which will allow us to hire a coordi‐

nator who will focus on ensuring only those who truly are indigent receive our 18‐B assigned counsel services. Finally, a er years

of double digit increases in state pension contribu ons, rates have begun to stabilize. While we cannot take full advantage of this

benefit due to past amor za ons, it provides much needed relief from the constant escala ons of the recent past. I con nue to

work with the New York Associa on of Coun es and my counterparts in the Greater Capital Region to lobby our legisla ve lead‐

ers for mandate relief. A list of the most expensive mandates can be found on the back cover of this budget book.

An addi onal expense to the County involves the cost for Albany County residents to a end community colleges. We have two

community colleges in our immediate area: Hudson Valley Community College (“HVCC”) and Schenectady County Community

College (“SCCC”). Everyone should have access to higher educa on, but the County is paying a dispropor onately large amount

per student to HVCC. Albany County paid $8.7 million in 2012 for its residents to a end HVCC. State Educa on Law provides that

the cost of tui on for any student a ending a state community college shall be divided using a formula: 1/3 paid from the State,

1/3 by the student and 1/3 from the county that the student resides. This formula hasn’t been used. We are dispropor onately

subsidizing HVCC and have no control, oversight or input on how these funds are allocated by the College. We are required to pay

millions of dollars but there is no accountability to the taxpayers of Albany County.

In an effort to provide educa onal and economic opportuni es to Albany County residents and reduce this financial mandate, I

have engaged in a new partnership with SCCC. In 2014, SCCC will be offering classes in the



DANIEL P. McCOY

County office building in downtown Albany. This will energize our downtown area, enable more people from our County to enroll

at SCCC and help with the issue of chargebacks.

With so many cost issues out of our control, we turn to our revenue. The two main sources of County revenues are sales tax and

property taxes. The sales tax is collected by the State and we cannot increase the rate without its explicit authoriza on. Losses

due to the recession con nue to have a nega ve impact. Sales tax revenues are rela vely flat in 2013 and this budget an cipates

the con nua on of this trend. We split our sales tax revenue with each of our 19 municipali es. Albany County keeps 60% and

sends 40% to the ci es, towns and villages in Albany County enabling them to keep their property taxes down. It is a generous split

‐ approximately 62% of coun es across the State either keep a greater percentage of the sales tax they collect and 12 coun es

keep 100% of sales tax revenues. In 2012, Albany County generated roughly $239 million in sales tax revenue and distributed over

$95 million of it to municipali es. That represents a 3.4% increase over 2011. A er accoun ng for Federal and State revenues, the

gap between what we bring in from sales tax revenue and what we spend is the best representa on of our tax levy.

The budget I am proposing will s ll leave Albany County with one of the lowest property tax rates in New York State and enable us

to con nue to pay for many programs and services that are not mandated but serve a cri cal need. This tax levy will mean a

homeowner with a $200,000 home will see an increase in their County tax bill of only $1.25 per month. I have been able to achieve

this without making draconian cuts to programs like our Crime Vic ms and Sexual Violence Center, Children’s Dental Clinic, Mental

Health Substance Abuse Clinic, Children’s Mental Health, and our en re Aging Department. Some of these departments, par cu‐

larly Aging, have already suffered from cuts due to federal sequestra on. This tax levy is the direct result of consolida on, in‐

creased efficiencies and the shi of the financial burden of the Albany County Nursing Home. It would not have been possible

without the input of and compromise with members of the Albany County Legislature.

The budget I am presen ng reflects the hard work of my administra on and commitment to the declara ons I made when I took

office. It is an equitable budget that responsibly reduces spending while balancing efficient delivery of our vital services. I will con‐

nue to work to streamline government and create greater efficiencies without compromising or sacrificing programs and services

that protect and serve the people of Albany County.

I pledged in my first State of the County to work relessly to ensure that we would be on the road to financial recovery. It is with

your coopera on and partnership that I am able to present a budget that remains commi ed to these goals while also mee ng the

property tax cap. I can assure you that Albany County is on the path to financial health.

INTRODUCTION AND HIGHLIGHTS How to Use this Budget Publica on


Daniel P. McCoy County Execu ve

David J. Friedfel




INTRODUCTION

This budget document presents informa on about every appropria on and every revenue for each County department

and program. Our goal is to present this budget in a format that is both informa ve and readable for a diverse audience of

Albany County residents, legislators, employees and others interested in County opera ons. With this goal in mind, each

year we refine the content and format and introduce features to ensure that the budget informa on you need is easy to

find and presented accurately, clearly and understandably.

The sec on you are reading now, “How to Use This Budget Publica on,” is a good place to begin your examina on of the

budget. It briefly explains how this document is organized, describes the budget development process, and provides

helpful hints for users.

THE BUDGET PROCESS

Albany County’s fiscal year coincides with the calendar year, commencing on January 1st and ending on December 31st.

The process for developing and adop ng the annual budget is contained in Ar cle 6 of the Albany County Charter. While

the County Charter provides a specific schedule for the adop on of the budget, many other “unofficial” steps have been

implemented as the budget process has evolved. The following descrip on of Albany County’s budget process therefore

contains both the formal requirements contained in the County Charter and the informal processes used to comply with

these requirements. Any dates for required ac on, however, are prescribed by the County Charter.

The County Execu ve sends his budget call le er to County departments in early May. This le er no fies departments of

the schedule for developing the annual budget. County departments are required to develop and submit their requested

budgets to the County Execu ve on or before July 1st. Despite this formal meline, however, many County departments

have ins tuted a year‐round process for formula ng the budget. This process is o en used as a planning and financial tool

to revise and refine programs.

The Department of Management and Budget reviews and analyzes these requests and makes recommenda ons to the

County Execu ve. The County Execu ve then submits the Execu ve Budget to the County Legislature by October 10th.

The County Charter also contains a series of steps to be taken by the County Legislature as it deliberates on the budget.

The Legislature must conduct an ini al public hearing on the Execu ve Budget no later than October 30th. A er the public

hearing, the Audit and Finance Commi ee generally holds a series of hearings or mee ngs to prepare the Legisla ve

Budget report, which contains its recommended addi ons and dele ons to the Execu ve Budget. The Legisla ve Budget

report must be filed with the Clerk of the Legislature by November 20th. A public hearing on the Legisla ve Budget report

must be held no later than December 1st.

The en re County Legislature must meet to consider the Execu ve Budget and Legisla ve Budget report by December 8th.

At this mee ng, the Legislature can officially vote to make changes to the Execu ve Budget. If the Legislature makes no

changes to the Execu ve Budget, then the Execu ve Budget automa cally becomes the Adopted Budget.

Should the Legislature make any changes to the Execu ve Budget, the revised document is returned to the County

Execu ve for examina on and considera on. The County Execu ve may approve the document or return it with his/her

objec ons to any addi ons made by the Legislature, no later than December 12th. The County Execu ve can only object

HOW TO USE TH I S BUDGET PUBL ICAT ION


to increases in the budget.

The County Legislature must act on the County Execu ve’s objec ons, if any, by

December 16th. A two‐thirds vote by the Legislature is required to override any

of the County Execu ve’s objec ons. If the Legislature fails to override any

objec ons by December 18th, the document is adopted without the addi ons

to which the County Execu ve objected.

If for any reason a budget has not been finally adopted by the Legislature on or

before December 20th, the Execu ve Budget, with all of the Legislature’s

addi ons or dele ons, to which the County Execu ve has not objected,

becomes the Adopted Budget.

Property Tax Cap Process

In order to override the 2% Property Tax Cap, the Legislature must take up a

resolu on, sponsored by a member, or members, of the legislature. The

resolu on must have a Public Hearing which is authorized through the

Commi ee process. Once the Public Hearing has occurred, the Legislature may

vote to enact the resolu on.

The local law must be adopted prior to the Legislature vo ng to adopt the

budget. If the local law fails to be adopted, and a budget contains a tax levy

that exceeds the property tax cap is adopted which is greater than 2%, the

excess is placed in a reserve held by the NYS Office of the State Comptroller

which can not be touched by the County un l the following fiscal year in which

it can be used to lower the future tax levy.

BUDGET AMENDMENTS

Ar cle 6 of the Albany County Charter contains two separate procedures for

handling budget amendments. Generally, the County Execu ve is empowered

to make minor budget amendments via a le er to the County Comptroller. In

certain instances, however, a budget amendment requires approval by

resolu on of the County Legislature.

Legisla ve approval is required if the proposed budget amendment would:

Result in an increase exceeding $10,000 to any one line in the

adopted budget;

Affect any salary rate or salary total, except as expressly permi ed

by the County Charter or New York State law;

Reflect a figure greater than five percent of the annual

appropria on for an administra ve unit; or

Transfer funds between administra ve units.

Legisla ve approval is also required to accept any grant revenues that may be realized during the fiscal year that were not

2014 ALBANY COUNTY

EXECUTIVE BUDGET


ECONOMIC AND REVENUE EXPECTATIONS

Daniel P. McCoy

County Execu ve

David J. Friedfel




INTRODUCTION

This section of the budget provides a survey of economic indicators and an outlook for the year ahead with a view to providing

context for some of the estimates contained in the budget.

NATIONAL OVERVIEW

Overall, the national economy has continued growing at a moderate pace. National job growth and labor income remain con‐

strained, with the unemployment rate hovering around 7.3 percent according the US Department of Labor, with significant

numbers of long‐term unemployed. The national housing market has not fully recovered, although it is improving at a steady

pace with increases in housing permits and starts. Likewise, demand for commercial real estate has shown steady, albeit slow,

growth throughout most of the nation (Federal Reserve Beige Book).

Going into the coming year, the following uncertainties may serve to undermine future economic growth ‐ automatic decreases

in federal expenditures better known as sequestration, Federal budget disagreements that threaten to shut‐down the federal

government for an extended period and continuing political turmoil in the Middle East. Depending on the outcome of these

factors and other unknowns, economic growth could once again stagnate.

The national unemployment rate at the end of August was 7.3 percent, down from a high of 10.0 percent in October of 2009,

but still above historical averages (US Bureau of Labor Statistics). As has been the trend in recent decades, manufacturing fared

worse than other employment sectors, while service industries experienced growth in employment that outpaced other sec‐

tors.

REGIONAL AND LOCAL ECONOMY

Preliminary August figures from the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics report 5,000 nonfarm jobs were added in the Alba‐

ny region between August 2012 and August 2013, for 1.1 percent growth. This is the most nonfarm employment in August since

2008. Likewise, the unemployment rate was 6.4 percent in August in the Capital district, the lowest rate since December of

2008.

While the national housing market experienced a series of unprecedented growth followed by devastating decline, the local

housing market remained relatively stable. Local home sales did not over accelerate in the pre‐recessionary market and gener‐

ally remained in‐line with actual value. Both average residential sale price and median residential sale prices remain relatively

constant in the past 4 years within Albany County.

According to RealtyTrac, “the Capital Region is one of the three top markets leading the nation's housing recovery.” Likewise,

housing values are on the rise, increasing by 2 percent in August of 2013 over August 2012, and median sales prices have in‐

creased by 3 percent according to The Greater Capital Association of Realtors. Specific to Albany County, year‐to‐date closings

through August have increased 11.6 percent and days on the market have decreased by 13.1 percent – both good signs.

Meanwhile, recent developments in the Commercial sector point to an increase in demand. Development along State Street,

the recently released revised plans for the a down‐town convention center, the purchase of Kiernan Plaza by the Nano College

at SUNY Albany and the expanded development in “Park South” along with commercial development throughout Albany Coun‐

ty, all point towards an increase in demand for commercial office and retail space.



The Capital Region, Albany County specifically, has traditionally been dependent on government, healthcare and education for

employment. These sectors are traditionally less volatile than other employment segments, insulating Albany County from many

global economy‐related job losses. The negative impact the recent economy has had on state and local governments has changed

that dynamic. With a significant curtailment in State government hiring and a general freeze in wages for many state and local

government employees, the local economy has suffered.

Fortunately, recent private investments in the local economy and promises of new investments reposition Albany County and the

Capital Region in terms of private sector employment. Likewise, there has recently been an uptick in hiring by state agencies.

Current trends point to a baseline adjustment of the long‐term employment and economic trends in the region, shifting away

from heavy reliance on state government jobs as the high technology sector grows, while the traditional dependence on the

health and education sectors continue.

SALES TAX RECEIPTS

Within Albany County, the largest source of revenue is sales tax receipts. Sales tax revenue decreased sharply in recent years im‐

pacting local government cash flow. Consecutive years in which sales tax receipts were substantially lower than anticipated re‐

sulted in the need for the County to borrow money through the issuance of a Tax Anticipation Note (TAN) to provide sufficient

cash to meet ongoing obligations.

However, Albany County sales tax revenue has increased by approximately 0.86 percent through the middle of September. This

builds on annual growth in 2012 of approximately 3.2 percent on top of growth of 3.8 percent in 2011. However, as can be seen

in the graph below, Albany County quarterly sales tax collections still have not recovered to the collection levels of the first half of

2008. Also, the spike in the third and fourth quarter of 2011 were the result of increased economic activity directly related to the

devastation and requisite rebuilding that took place following hurricanes Irene and Lee.



Given the year‐to‐date growth, and expectations for a continually tepid economic recovery, this budget assumes that

2014 collections will be down slightly from those amounts budgeted for 2013.

CONCLUSION

While the National economy is in the midst of recovering from the economic recession of 2007, serious constraints still

persist on Albany County. Federal and state financial support is limited, while demand for County services continues to

grow. But despite these headwinds, the outlook for Albany County’s Budget has significant positives.

The recession was not as severe in Albany County, the housing market was not as overvalued and unemployment com‐

pares favorably to much of the nation. Likewise, newly announced investments and ongoing construction projects

currently underway will help to rejuvenate our economy.

2014 ALBANY COUNTY

EXECUTIVE BUDGET


FISCAL STRATEGIES / FINANCIAL PLAN

Daniel P. McCoy

County Execu ve

David J. Friedfel




Certain strategies included in this budget, in addi on to other steps being taken by the County Execu ve outside of the formal

budget process, will maintain Albany County’s path towards fiscal health, while providing the vital services that the people of

Albany County deserve. The most important steps are outlined below:

Nursing Home – in partnership with the County Legislature, the County Execu ve will not impede the Legisla ve decision to form

a Local Development Corpora on (LDC) for purposes of managing the Nursing Home’s opera on. Given that the Legislature

passed legisla on authorizing this LDC in July of 2013, this budget includes funding for the first six months of the fiscal year. This

will provide ample me for the Legislature to finalize the LDC and transfer opera ons accordingly. Once the day‐to‐day opera‐

ons are transferred to the Legisla vely created Local Development Corpora on, the County will no longer be subsidizing nursing

home opera ons.

Consolida on and Re‐Stacking – Over the last year and a half, the County has benefited from a series of Departmental consolida‐

ons. By consolida ng the legal func ons spread throughout the County within the Department of Law, it has allowed for a sub‐

stan al decrease in u liza on of outside counsel. Consolida on of County‐operated adult mental health outpa ent clinic services

in one central loca on reduced unnecessary costs and increased overall efficiency. The Albany County Sheriff’s Office consolidat‐

ed various units within the office at the Albany County Public Safety Center in Clarksville. This will allow units from Cohoes and

Voorheesville to reside under one roof allowing for greater efficiencies and cost savings. In 2014, the Departments of Health and

Mental Health will share an insurance billing manager to assist in accurately and efficiently processing insurance claims.

Community College– Albany County has been unfairly subsidizing Rensselaer County students that are a ending Hudson Valley

Community College (HVCC) for far too long. The County Execu ve recently announced an exci ng new partnership with Schenec‐

tady County Community College (SCCC) that will expand higher educa on opportuni es for Albany County residents while saving

taxpayers money. Beginning in January of 2014, students will be a ending classes in a satellite SCCC loca on in the County office

building located at 112 State Street. This will provide benefits throughout the County—with increased access to college classes

for Albany County residents, a less expensive charge‐back for County Taxpayers and provide an influx of customers to Down‐

town Albany businesses.

Union Contracts – In the last six months, the County Execu ve has se led contracts with virtually all outstanding bargaining units.

The basic framework provides a maximum of a two percent annual salary increase, par ally offset by increases in health care

contribu ons from employees, increased co‐pays on pharmaceu cals, new caps on accrual payouts and other department spe‐

cific changes that will benefit County opera ons. In nego a ng unprecedented 7‐year contracts, the County Execu ve has re‐

moved a poten al liability going forward, limited financial exposure from past years and provided much deserved raises to County

employees. It should noted that due to an inpu ng error, the 2013 budgeted amounts for CSEA members and non‐union work‐

ers who received raises part‐way through 2013 represent annualized salary amounts and not budgeted amounts. This issue will

be resolved for the Enacted Budget report. This has no impact on the listed 2014 budgeted salary amounts or the 2012 expended

amounts.

Healthcare Costs ‐ Going forward, the County’s workforce will be asked by the County Execu ve to partner with the County in

containing costs. By containing the growing cost of employee healthcare, through a combina on of health programs, maximizing

use of lower‐cost pharmaceu cals and encouraging employees to u lize the most cost‐efficient methods of health care delivery,

considerable savings can and will be achieved.

Inter‐municipal Coopera on – Since all of Albany County’s local governments are facing similar financial constraints, it is impera‐

ve now more than ever that we con nue to seek out areas where we can maximize our limited resources by consolida ng func‐

ons, sharing informa on and providing high quality services in the most efficient manner possible. Whether it is as simple as al‐

lowing a city, town or village to u lize a piece of equipment, shared purchasing or actual consolida on of services, savings can and

ALBANY COUNTY FISCAL STRATEGIES



must be achieved. Our purchasing division will con nue to pursue common‐sense opportuni es to find the best value for tax‐

payer dollars. Through coopera ve bidding with BOCES the purchasing division has already shown tangible savings. As part of

an agreement with Schenectady County, the Albany County DCYF evalua on team is performing diagnos c tes ng for children

in Schenectady County. This agreement is expected to generate $67,000 in new revenue for the Department of Children, Youth

and Families in 2013. We are anxiously awai ng the results of our shared highway service study, with sign‐on from the majority

of municipali es within the County.

Inter‐Departmental Coopera on – All County Departments will be seeking addi onal opportuni es to share services, consoli‐

date loca ons and maximize limited resources. The Department of General Services has been assis ng the Division of Finance

with ensuring that auc ons of foreclosed property are processed efficiently, maximizing our revenues while decreasing our

liability for these proper es. The County Execu ve, in conjunc on with the Albany County Sheriff, intends to maximize federal

and state support for emergency response infrastructure especially surrounding the issue of interoperable communica ons

systems and technologies.

Managing Indigent Legal Defense Expenditures – This budget includes an 18‐b coordinator posi on within the Department of Management and Budget. The role of this individual will be to ensure that assigned counsel is being u lized correctly by coordi‐na ng with judges and ensuring that billing is being done correctly. The costs associated with this posi on – salary, fringe and supplies, are all covered by a grant from the New York State Office of Indigent Legal Services. This proposal is currently being considered by the Legislature. In addi on, a new part me Assistant Alternate Public Defender will be added to the Alterna ve Public Defender’s Office to handle counsel at arraignments. This is new posi on will be fully paid for through grant funds that are provided by the NYS Office of Indigent Legal Services.

Revenue Maximiza on – In order to improve the County’s ability to collect all revenues to which it is en tled, the 2014 Execu‐

ve budget includes the crea on of a billing unit that will bring together billing staff from the Departments of Health and Men‐

tal Health, overseen by one insurance billing manager. As this semi‐autonomous unit takes shape over the next year, new bill‐

ing so ware and addi onal personnel moves will be evaluated. The County Execu ve also requested that the State Comptrol‐

lers office perform a risk‐assessment on the County’s finances. Two auditors from the State Comptrollers office have been re‐

viewing the County’s prac ces and procedures and will provide the County with a dra report in the coming months.

Three Year Financial Plan

Reaching the property tax cap in 2014 is not the final step on the path to financial health. Instead, it is one step that will require

disciplined spending, realis c revenue projec ons and assistance from state and federal leaders. The following informa on was

prepared using historical trends, current federal and state statutes and current expecta ons regarding the economic future.

The most prescient piece of the County’s financial future is the successful transfer of nursing home opera ons to the local de‐

velopment corpora on that was authorized by the County Legislature in the summer of 2013. If the transfer of opera ons does

not take effect on or around July 1, 2014, the financial plan that is outlined below will have rela vely li le value. As can be seen

in the tables below, as nursing home expenses in 2014 will only be incurred during the first half of the year and will not be in‐

curred in out years, our ability to manage our financial well‐being comes into focus.

The following assump ons were u lized to arrive at the es mates below. Revenues, other than those associated with the nurs‐

ing home, will grow between 2 and 3 percent per year over the next 3 years.

Personnel costs will grow according to contractual agreements – essen ally 2% in 2014, 0.5% in 2015 and 2% in 2016 and 2017.

New York State re rement system contribu ons will con nue their decline from the heights seen in recent years. However, due

to amor za on costs, our rates can only decrease by 0.5% per year. Likewise, assuming con nuing use of the smoothing pro‐

gram, we will con nue to be responsible for payments from prior years going forward. Finally, as more er 6 employees are

hired by the County, addi onal savings will accrue.



Health care expenses are es mated to con nue increasing by 7.5 percent per year going forward. While a number of possible

avenues for savings are possible, past experience has shown that health care expenses will con nue to rise considerably faster

than infla on.

Our weekly Medicaid contribu on is expected to be stable or decrease slightly over the next two years. This is based on chang‐

es at the federal level that will flow through the state to the County’s benefit. County Medicaid costs will also decrease as the

County will no longer be liable for the local share of the Intergovernmental Transfer.

This analysis assumes no changes to sales tax distribu on and slight reduc on in Community College Chargebacks as the new

formula is fully implemented and alterna ves to HVCC become more well‐known and established within Albany County.

The final row in this table shows an increase in reserves based on revenues exceeding planned expenditures, all while s ll re‐

maining under the property tax cap.

The Albany County Execu ve’s Office has set forth the following strategies and guidelines. These strategies are presented as gen‐

eral guidelines for departments to follow in managing their financial affairs during the course of the coming year.

A rigorous cash management system shall be maintained to ensure sufficient cash, safety of principal, provide ade‐

quate liquidity to eliminate short term borrowing and maximize investment earnings. In recent years, Albany County

resorted to borrowing Tax Anticipation Notes (TAN) for the purposes of accelerating funds to cover cash flow and day

to day operational expenses. In 2013, pursuant to County Executive’s request, the County Legislature authorized a

TAN of $10.9 million. Due to aggressive fiscal management, this represents a steady decrease from prior years,

where TANs were $15 million in 2010 and 2011, $13.7 million in 2012 and now $10.9 million in 2013.

It is Albany County’s intention to reduce reliance on TAN’s by continuing to bring appropriations in line with estimat‐

ed revenue without depending on the use of fund balance and reserves to balance the budget. Over the course of

the fiscal year, the Department of Management and Budget will aggressively monitor and manage the budget so that

expenditures remain in line with revenue receipts.

Expenditure controls must be sufficient to ensure that agencies stay within their budgets.

The County must continue to diversify its economy in order to strengthen the property tax base, improve employ‐

ment opportunities and capitalize on existing resources. By encouraging commercial development and expansion

through coordinated planning, leveraging grant opportunities and maintaining communication with the business

community, the existing economic base will grow and new sectors will flourish.

Long‐range planning processes shall be undertaken in conjunction with the capital improvement program, capital

budget and operating budget.

Duplicative functions within County government shall be eliminated where feasible and warranted. Consolidation of

functions within and between departments shall be pursued wherever such consolidation will result in greater econ‐

omy and efficiency or improved quality service.

Annual budgets shall be prepared and presented in accordance with standards set by the Government Finance Offic‐

ers Association of the United States and Canada.

Capital projects requiring debt financing should be planned and implemented so as to allow debt obligations to be

issued in the most cost effective way. Appropriate care should be taken in considering the issuance of debt for capi‐

tal projects, including debt of those enterprises for which the County is contingently liable.

Debt ratios should be maintained at or below the following levels:

Net direct general obligation debt as a percentage of estimated full value shall always remain less than

three percent on an average basis over any five consecutive years.

The ratio of net direct general obligation debt service expenditures as a percentage of combined general

fund expenditures shall not exceed ten percent per year over any consecutive five years. Any emergency

expenditures during the course of 2013 may require issuance of general obligation bonds.

Average annual general obligation original issue long term debt sales shall not exceed $30 million or $150

million over any consecutive five year period.

Self‐supporting general obligation debt shall be issued commensurate with the respective needs of the en‐

terprises which are to operate these projects. When practical, revenue supported debt shall be utilized in

order to minimize any impact on the General Fund.

A system of internal controls shall be instituted and maintained to ensure compliance with all applicable laws, opti‐

mal cost effectiveness of County services and prudent stewardship over public funds. All employees will be responsi‐

ble and accountable for the safekeeping of public assets. Management shall endeavor to consistently monitor and

improve the system of controls.

All departments are responsible for recovery of budgeted non‐tax revenues as planned in the annual budget.

Departments shall maintain an adequate billing and claiming process in order to effec vely manage their

accounts receivable system in conformance with the fiscal plan and sound business principles.



FUND STRUCTURE

State and federal law requires some of the County’s accounts to be segregated from all others. These accounts are formed into

separate “Funds” for each specialized purpose. The fund structure allows each fund’s finances to be kept dis nct from the regu‐

lar County expenses in the General Fund.

The General Fund (A Fund) contains appropria ons and expenditures for the majority of the County’s opera ons.

The Community Development Fund (CD Fund) was established to administer federal Community Development

Block Grants.

The Risk Reten on Fund (CS Fund) was established to hold monies in reserve for poten al losses to the County.

The Highway Fund (D Fund) was established by the State in support of road maintenance to keep those expenses

dis nct and recognizable.

The Road Machinery Fund (DM Fund) was established by the State in support of road machinery maintenance, to

keep those expenses dis nct and recognizable.

The Nursing Home Fund (NH Fund) and Debt Service Fund (V Fund) were established to segregate expenses and

revenues used for the County’s Residen al Health Care Facili es and for repayment of bonds and notes, respec‐

vely.

The Sewer District Fund (G Fund) is financed by charges to local governments and cannot receive County tax

funds.

With the excep on of the Sewer District, the specialized funds can receive County tax funds if their own revenues are not suffi‐

cient to make them self‐suppor ng. This has almost always been the case in recent years. The method of subsidizing the separate

funds is the “interfund transfer,” whereby the General Fund “spends” some of its money, which becomes “income” for the fund

receiving the subsidy. There are also some instances in which there are interfund transfers from the other funds to the General

Fund.

An unfortunate side effect of the fund mechanism is that some dollars appear to be counted twice in the County budget. A dollar

of subsidy funds is “spent” once when it moves from the General Fund to the subsidized fund. It is also “spent” again when the

recipient fund uses it to pay its bills. The Interfund Transfer is not a true expenditure, but it is counted that way for budgetary

purposes. Likewise, the revenue is counted twice when it arrives from its source (sales tax for instance) and again when it is trans‐

ferred from the general fund to the subsidized fund.

For this reason, the Subtotal Appropria ons line in the 2014 Budget Summary of All Funds is a be er representa on of the actual

size of the Albany County budget compared to the higher figure labeled Total Appropria ons.

COUNTY REVENUES

Where Revenues Come From

The County budget is typically supported by five ongoing revenue sources: local tax items (primarily the sales tax), departmental

income, state aid, federal aid, and property taxes. A summary of 2014 budgeted revenues an cipated to be received by the

County is presented in the budget. A fund summary appears at the end of each fund sec on and is referenced in the Table of

Contents. Each of the County’s revenue sources is discussed briefly below.

1. LOCAL TAX ITEMS

The single largest source of revenue in the Albany County budget is the County share of the sales tax. Of the 8¢ col‐

lected on each dollar of taxable sales in the County, New York State retains four cents and distributes four cents to

Albany County. Pursuant to County law, forty percent of County sales tax collec ons are then provided to local gov‐

ernments throughout the County based on popula on. The County receives 2.4¢, and local governments receive

1.6¢ for each dollar of taxable sales in Albany County.



County sales tax collec ons are dependent on retail sales in the County and, ul mately, the health of the local econ‐

omy. The 2014 budget es mates sales tax collec ons of $244 million, which is the same amount budgeted in 2013.

A er growth of 3.8 percent in 2012, growth through the first nine months of the year has been approximately 1%.

The 2014 budget expects this growth rate to con nue into 2014. The 2014 budget assumes a County share of sales

tax collec ons of $146.2 million and a distribu on to locali es of $97.5 million. This represents a slight decline from

the 2013 budgeted amounts.

Other revenues that make up the local tax items category include payments in lieu of taxes, income from the sale of

tax acquired proper es, interest and penal es on delinquent taxes, and the County’s por on of the Hotel / Motel

Tax. In addi on, this category includes revenue from the Mortgage Recording Fee

2. DEPARTMENTAL AND MISCELLANEOUS INCOME Departmental and miscellaneous income includes interest income and fees for services charged by the various

departments to users of those services, including other governments.

Examples of these revenues include fees charged by the County Clerk, public health fees, Civic Center revenues,

fees charged to the State for state highway snow removal, fees charged to other governments for boarding

prisoners at the County Correc onal Facility, commissions from vending sales, and income collected by the

County Nursing Home for residen al care, and the intergovernmental transfer (IGT).

3. STATE AID Included in the state aid category are individual items such as aid to court facili es, public health grants, fund‐

ing for aging and youth programs, and the State share of public assistance programs.

4. FEDERAL AID Among other things, the federal aid category includes Medicare funding provided to the Nursing Home and

the federal share of public assistance programs.

5. PROPERTY TAX

This property tax of $89.6 million presented in this Budget represents a 1.6 percent increase from the prior

year. The property tax represents over 15¢ of each dollar of County revenue. The property tax figure is deter‐

mined differently than any other revenue in the budget. Since it is the only revenue that the County can direct‐

ly control, it is calculated as the residual a er all other sources of revenue have been es mated. The total

amount of appropria ons less than the total amount of revenues, fund balance and reserves applied to the

budget while accoun ng for uncollec ble taxes and deferred tax revenue yields the County tax. This year, the

property tax cap imposed on municipali es throughout the state was 1.66% ‐ plus their quan ty change fac‐

tor. For Albany County, this put our total tax maximum levy at $90,568,163. The proposed levy meets this tar‐

get for the first me since enactment of the tax cap.

APPROPRIATED FUND BALANCE

This Budget does not rely on any exis ng fund balances to fund expenditures. Instead, for the first me in recent memory, this

budget actually sets aside a small sum towards our reserves.

APPROPRIATED RESERVES

The 2014 Proposed Budget does not propose u lizing any reserves.

2014 EXECUTIVE BUDGET

Expenditures in the 2014 Execu ve County budget are allocated to nine categories: general government, educa on, public

safety, health and mental health, transporta on, economic assistance, culture/ recrea on, home/community, and undistribut‐

ed. Undistributed includes a por on of reserve funds, as well as those health insurance costs that are a ributable to the Coun‐

ty’s re rees. Appropria ons for debt service are also included within this category. A fund summary appears at the end of each

fund sec on and is referenced in the Table of Contents.



The 2014 Execu ve Budget proposes funding for a total of 2,438 posi ons. This is a decrease of 6 posi on from the 2013

Adopted Budget. It should be noted that there have been posi ons added throughout the year via budget amendments, so the

actual decrease is somewhat higher. It should also be noted that there are 21 posi ons at the correc onal facility that have only

$1 of funding, but s ll show as funded posi ons. Twenty vacant posi ons at the nursing home were also eliminated. Elimina‐

on of these posi ons save almost $2 million.

As of September 25, 2013, there were 209 vacancies. These vacancies reside largely in the Health and Human Services

Departments due to high turn‐over rates. The County Execu ve will con nue to evaluate and examine each posi on both

filled and vacant, for need, efficiency and funding impact. Posi ons and programs which lose State or Federal funding will

be eliminated, the only excep on being if the program can become self‐funded via another alterna ve revenue source. The

County cannot afford to pick‐up the full county‐share of these programs.

A priority for this administra on will be a con nued focus on training for employees regarding program delivery. The County

will con nue to partner with other government en es and private organiza ons to provide training and resources to all

departments and employees. Every effort will be made to seek out trainings which come at no cost to the County. In order

to provide quality services to the community, our workforce must be up to date on modern methods and best prac ces for

the various systems of care and delivery of services. We will also focus greater a en on on ensuring that County protocols

are updated and followed.

Since 1995, the total number of County employees has decreased by approximately 21.53 percent. Those departments un‐

der the control of separately elected officials have collec vely increased by approximately 24.59 percent or 164 employees.

In contrast the number of employees under the direct management of the County Execu ve decreased by approximately

34.14 percent or 833 employees. Since 2010, the number of employees under the auspices of the County Execu ve have

decreased by 197.

INTRODUCTION AND HIGHLIGHTS FUND BALANCES AND RESERVES


David J. Friedfel Commissioner of Management & Budget


This page intentionally left blank


The Undesignated, Un‐appropriated Fund Balance is one measure of Albany County’s overall financial health. Also known

as surplus, the fund balances listed on the next page can be appropriated by the Legislature as part of the budget process

to address instances in which appropria ons exceed an cipated revenues. If, by the end of the fiscal year, actual

expenditures exceeded revenues received, the surplus can also be used to offset the shor all in revenue. Conversely, if

revenues received exceed expenditures, the surplus will increase at the end of the year. The fund balance can be

appropriated only as part of the budget process and cannot be appropriated or u lized once the budget has been

adopted. It is important to note that a fund balance is an accoun ng tool and isn’t completely backed by cash in the same

manner as reserves.

The informa on in the chart on the next page, as reported in the County’s Annual Financial Report to the State

Comptroller’s Office, is a snap shot of the condi ons on December 31, 2012. The surplus is used as a diagnos c tool by

ra ng agencies to determine the County’s credit ra ng and risk when it is seeking funding through the issuance of bonds

or bond an cipa on notes.

As the chart below indicates, the County’s surplus diminished significantly during the ‘Great Recession’. In 2009, the fund

balance for the General Fund dipped to a low of $16.6 million. At of the end of 2012, the fund balance was approximately

$27.5 million reflec ng an increase of 66% over a four year me frame.

The consistent use of surplus to meet spending needs not backed by revenue has impacted the County’s credit ra ng. In

July 2010, The County’s Aa2 credit ra ng was given a nega ve outlook by Moody’s Investor Services. In September 2011,

Moody’s downgraded the County’s credit ra ng once again, resul ng in a change in grade level from Aa2 to Aa3. This

ra ng was re‐affirmed in the summer of 2013. Although it is a small sum of money, this budget provides $150,000 to the

tax stabiliza on reserve. This is the first budgeted increase in our reserves in recent memory and serves as a stepping

stone to long‐term financial health.

The projected fund balance at the close of 2014 for the General Fund represents 4.7% of its $493.8 million opera onal

budget. Recommended guidelines for municipali es range from 10 – 15%.

2014 ALBANY COUNTY

EXECUTIVE BUDGET


LOCAL GOVERNMENT EXEMPTION IMPACT REPORT

Daniel P. McCoy

County Execu ve

David J. Friedfel




LO CA L GOVERNMENT

E X EMP T I ON IM PAC T R E PORT

Chapter 258 of the Laws of 2008 created Section 495 to the Real Property Tax law which requires counties, cities, towns, villages

and school districts to attach a real property exemption report to their tentative budgets. This measure took effect on October 8,

2008 and applies to budgets for fiscal years commencing on and after that date.

The exemption report is required to show how much of the total assessed value on the final assessment roll used in the budgetary

process is exempt from taxation. This information provides taxpayers, policy makers and the general public with greater transpar‐

ency on property tax exemptions and their effect on the overall property taxes.

Exemptions are reductions in property taxes granted to certain groups of property owners (e.g. non‐profits, seniors and veterans)

which are offset with increases in property taxes on remaining taxpayers. The law requires exemption reports to include the fol‐

lowing:

Every type of exemption granted by the taxing authority and the cumulative impact of each type of exemption.

The cumulative amount expected to be received from recipients of each type of exemption as payments in lieu of taxes or

other payments for municipal services.

The cumulative impact of all exemption granted.

The information contained in this section is the Local Government Exemption Impact Report for Albany County as of October

2013. The number of exemptions for the County total 24,423 and represents $10,707,754,506 in Equalized Value of Exemptions.

This amount represents 32.09% of the equalized total assessed value of $33,371,771,511. The 2014 Executive Budget anticipates

$1,600,000 in payment in lieu of taxes (PILOTs) which are included as revenue in the Division of Finance’s 2014 Executive Budget.

1 8 ‐B PUB L I C DE F EN S E PAYMENT S ‐ 1 1 7 2

The Public Defender and Alternate Public Defender’s are the primary source of legal representa on for the indigent in

Albany County. However, there are instances when the two offices are unable to represent an individual because of legal

conflicts of interest.

In those instances of conflict, Ar cle 18‐B, sec on 722‐b of New York State County Law provides

for payment of assigned private counsel for those individuals charged with a crime or appealing

a criminal convic on that are financially unable to obtain their own legal representa on. In

addi on, private counsel is also assigned in certain Family Court and Surrogate Court

proceedings as ordered by the judge of that court.

Judges make the decisions to assign private counsel.

This account is administered jointly by the Departments of Law and Management and Budget.

Within the Department of Management & Budget is newly created posi on to help manage

these costs. The posi on is fully funded through grants.

AG I NG ‐ 6 7 7 2 , 6 7 7 8 MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the Department for Aging (DFA) is to provide the highest quality suppor ve services to seniors and their

families. Our goal is to enable seniors to remain safely in their homes and to thrive in their communi es for as long as

they desire.

WHO WE SERVE

Albany County is home to 60,195 residents over the age of 60. These residents represent 19%

of our county’s popula on of almost 304,032 people. The oldest popula on groups con nue

to increase. Albany County residents over the age of 75 comprise 7.2% of the popula on and

are most likely to have mul ple and chronic health condi ons that require access to a variety

of community based services in order to be able to remain safely in the community.

The Albany County Department for Aging annually serves nearly 7,000 persons age 60 and

over; along with family caregivers. Our agency makes it possible for individuals to live with

independence and dignity in their homes and communi es as long as possible, delaying or

avoiding higher cost levels of care.

ABOUT OUR DEPARTMENT

The Department for Aging fills a cri cal role in the long term care system by ensuring that

essen al home and community based services are available to meet the needs of the county’s

most vulnerable older ci zens. We accomplish this goal by offering an array of quality

programs and services. Many seniors receiving 3 or more community based services from our

department meet the requirements for admission to an adult home, assisted living residence

or a nursing home. The result is that the services we provide for older adults o en minimize,

delay and avoid much more intensive facility based care. The Albany County senior

popula on con nues to increase as does the demand for our programs and services.

2013 ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND CHALLENGES

This year the Department for Aging fully implemented an electronic community based

services case management, data collec on and data repor ng system that links with all of our

contracted community based service providers. This new system allows us to submit our required reports electronically

to the New York State Office for the Aging (NYSOFA) and The Administra on on Aging (AOA). The collected data will be

used by the federal and state government to determine future funding awards for local aging services.

The Albany County Department for Aging has been preparing to respond to the next poten al disaster by learning from

the other Departments for Aging throughout the state that have recently experienced disasters and by working closely

with the Albany County Emergency Management Planning Team.

To help some of the most vulnerable seniors in our county prepare for a poten al disaster, all Albany County Home

Delivered Meal recipients are now also receiving Disaster Preparedness Tool Kits that include:

4 Nutri onally balanced shelf stable meals with shelf stable milk and juice;

4 16 Ounce bo les of water;

Informa on about shelf stable foods and supplies that seniors can keep on hand to expand upon the

emergency shelf stable meals provided;

A Home Care Guide to Emergency Preparedness;

Assistance from Nurse Case Managers to help each senior develop an individualized disaster preparedness

plan for sheltering in place and/or planning for evacua on. ACDFA outreach events now include presenta ons about the importance of disaster preparedness and we distribute the

Home Care Guides to Emergency Preparedness.

AG I NG ‐ 6 7 7 2 , 6 7 7 8 AG I NG ‐ 6 7 7 2 , 6 7 7 8

The Department for Aging recently implemented a Disaster Preparedness Screening Tool that is embedded in our new

electronic case management assessment program. This screening tool iden fies the most at risk seniors that receive

services from our department and links all iden fying and relevant informa on needed. This way, if a disaster strikes

county wide or just in a certain area of the county, we can quickly iden fy the seniors affected and priori ze them by

known risk factors and loca on. If needed, this informa on can be electronically transmi ed to first responders to

be er assist those in need if evacua on is necessary.

This year the ACDFA facilitated a new partnership between NYSID (New York State Industries for the Disabled), Plaza

Linens and ACDSS (Albany County Department of Social Services) to implement a new Laundry Services Program for

homebound seniors receiving in home services through EISEP (Expanded In‐Home Services for the Elderly Program).

This service provides laundry pick‐up and delivery. This program is cost effec ve and allows the ACDFA to more effec‐

vely u lize the skilled in home aide services for more complex personal care needs.

Challenges:

Funding has been cut for home and community based services due to the impact of Federal Sequestra on. As a result

many of the core services that seniors rely upon have had to be cut. The impact of the funding cuts has been com‐

pounded by several years of flat funding and an ever increasing numbers of seniors reques ng community based ser‐

vices. These cuts have nega vely impacted the seniors in need of the services and the network of community based

service providers that we rely upon to provide the core services. Some of the services impacted by the funding cuts in‐

clude: Home Delivered Meals, Congregate Meals, Transporta on, Caregiver Support Services and In‐Home Suppor ve

Services.

2014 GOALS AND PERFORMANCE TARGETS

In the coming year the Department will strengthen outreach efforts to inform area seniors and caregivers about the

programs and services we offer. We will con nue to strengthen the assessment and monitoring of the cri cal services

we provide to ensure that programs and services target individuals with the most pressing needs.

The Department for Aging will con nue to seek out new strategic community partnerships to leverage our exis ng re‐

sources in ways that will benefit the seniors living in Albany County.

SUMMARY OF BUDGET CHANGES

All of the Sequester cuts from the Federal Government have been covered by county dollars in the proposed budget.

A LT E RNAT E PUB L I C DE F END ER ‐ 1 1 7 1 MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the Albany County Alternate Public Defender’s Office is to provide the highest quality legal representa on

to those who cannot afford to hire an a orney and to ensure that the client’s cons tu onal right to equal representa on

under the law is upheld.

WHO WE SERVE

We serve any individual who is financially unable to retain counsel. Although the term

indigent is o en used in referring to public defense representa on, Ar cle 18‐B of New York's

County Law and 18 U.S.C. § 3006A (1989), its federal counterpart, as well as the legisla ve

history of both statutes, specify that the proper standard to be employed in determining

eligibility for appointed counsel is financial inability to hire a lawyer and not indigency. There

are no uniform guidelines in New York State for appoin ng counsel and that eligibility

determina on is reserved for the judiciary on a case by case basis. Once that determina on is

made, the Alternate Public Defender’s Office is appointed to qualified individuals by the

Court.


The Alternate Public Defender’s Office consists of six Criminal Court a orneys, two Family

Court a orneys and two support staff. Every a orney in the office is knowledgeable in their

field and has trial experience.

The Alternate Public Defender’s Office is appointed by the Court to provide mandated legal

representa on for financially qualified individuals where a bona fide conflict of interest

prevents the Albany County Public Defender’s Office from accep ng the assignment. We

represent clients in both Criminal and Family Court proceedings from the incep on of the case

through hearings, trial and sentencing. The Alternate Public Defender’s Office does not

handle appeals.

Pursuant to §722 of Ar cle 18‐B of the County Law, the governing body of each county…

“shall place in opera on throughout the county a plan for providing counsel to persons

charged with a crime (any offense punishable by incarcera on) or who is en tled to counsel

pursuant to sec on two hundred sixty‐two or sec on eleven hundred twenty of the Family Court Act (including child

custody cases), ar cle six‐C of the correc on law, sec on four hundred seven of the surrogate's court procedure act or

ar cle ten of the mental hygiene law, who are financially unable to obtain counsel. Each plan shall also provide for

inves ga ve, expert and other services necessary for an adequate defense.”

In 2010, the New York State Bar Associa on issued Revised Standards for Providing Mandated Representa on to any

personal financially unable to obtain counsel without substan al hardship under the guidelines listed in Ar cle 18‐B of the

County Law. In addi on, the NYS Office of Indigent Legal Services, in fulfillment of its responsibili es under Execu ve Law

Ar cle 30, Sec on 832 (3)(d), provided addi onal standards and criteria for the provision of mandated representa on in

cases involving a conflict of interest. Those standards and criteria took effect as of July 1, 2012.

The standards that the Albany County Alternate Public Defender’s Office must abide by include:

1. Demonstra ng a commitment to quality representa on of every client;

2. Maintaining a manageable workload to ensure capacity to provide quality representa on;

3. Access to and use of inves ga ve services, as needed, to provide quality representa on without restric on;

4. Provide access to and use, as needed, of experts in a variety of fields;

5. Having the ability to provide representa on for every eligible person at the earliest possible me and to

begin advoca ng for every client without delay, in addi on to providing con nuous representa on by the

same a orney;

6. Having the ability to spend sufficient me with clients to establish a meaningful client/a orney rela on‐

ship; to inform the client regularly as to the progress of the case; to provide documents prepared or re‐

ceived; and to provide the client with the opportunity to make an intelligent and informed decision where

there is one to be made;

mechanisms for evalua ng a orneys;

9. Providing well prepared sentencing advocacy in criminal cases and well prepared disposi onal advocacy in

parent representa on cases; and

10. Having and using adequate resources and procedures to main appropriate law office facili es and seek

addi onal resources whenever the client needs require.

2013 ACCOMPLISHMENTS AMD CHALLENGES

The existence of the Alternate Public Defender’s Office con nues to reduce the use of assigned counsel and saves Alba‐

ny County a substan al amount of money in doing so. In 2013, this office resolved 980 files, 273 of which were felonies,

including one homicide. The office handles approximately two thousand cases each year.


The Alternate Public Defender’s Office will con nue to provide the highest quality legal representa on possible and

always ensure that the rights of our clients are protected. Through County and State funded educa on and trainings,

we will con nue to increase the quality of defense services provided by this office.


The 2014 Execu ve budget for the Albany County Alternate Public Defender’s Office does not include any substan ve

programma c changes.

The staff of the Alternate Public Defender’s Office deals with mul ple members of the pub‐

lic on a daily basis. A typical case involves interac on with many more than just our client

and can include speaking with the worried parents and family members of the accused,

arranging drug or mental health services as alterna ves to incarcera on, nego a ng the

best possible plea bargain with the District A orney’s Office and then conferencing that

with the judges, and/or preparing witnesses for hearings or trials.

MISSION STATEMENT

Albany County Department for Children, Youth and Families (DCYF) is commi ed to excellence, professionalism, integrity

and is uniquely structured to deliver an integrated, diverse, holis c set of services in collabora on with families and

communi es to empower families to create a safe, nurturing environment in which children can grow, thrive and reach

their full poten al.

WHO WE SERVE

DCYF serves the Children and Families of Albany County. Albany County is a System of Care

community, which subscribes to the Child and Adolescent Service System Program (CASSP) Core

Principles‐‐child‐centered, family‐focused, community based, culturally competent, least

restric ve and coordinated services for children and their families. A system of care is a

coordinated network of effec ve services and supports for children and families, which are

culturally and linguis cally competent, build meaningful partnerships with families and youth,

and have suppor ve management and policy infrastructure.


DCYF is unique within New York State, in that services for children from other County

departments are consolidated into an independent agency that focuses on integrated services,

and strengthening and suppor ng families.

The Children and Family Services Division strives to ensure that all children live in safe and

nurturing environments by providing State mandated Child Protec ve Services and preven on,

adolescent, foster care and adop on services. Caseworkers are the frontline staff directly

involved with ensuring the health and safety of children, especially those who are involved with

Child Protec ve Services (CPS), Foster Care or Preven on Services.

2013 ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Child Protec ve Services received 6,136 reports from the NYS Child Abuse Hot Line in 2012. Efforts were

made to inves gate those reports within the 60 day me frame allowed by regula on while increasing the

quality of contact made with families.

In 2014, there will be con nued work to meet the mandated meframes for Child Welfare Services which

include:

Maintain or exceed 90% compliance with mely safety assessments;

Maintain or exceed 80% compliance with comple on of CPS inves ga ons within 60 days; and

Maintain or exceed 95%compliance with casework contact requirement.

A number of family driven strategies, which have been proven to impact posi ve outcomes for children and

families, have been implemented and will be con nued in 2014:

Family Team Mee ngs (FTM) have been expanded as a mechanism to engage families who are struggling

with consistently addressing the safety and risk factors that have led to Child Protec ve and/or Foster Care

involvement via services and supports. Subsequently, DCYF is collabora ng with the Department of

Proba on by providing FTMs as a diversion for JDs/PINS youth entering a higher level of care. DCYF is also

providing the service to the Department of Social Services to u lize in an effort to safely divert homeless

families from re‐sheltering or penetra ng the formal service system of Child Protec ve Services.

Parent Partners con nue to be u lized to engage families involved with Proba on for their youth, Children’s

Mental Health Services and Child Protec ve Services.

Family to Family has been successfully implemented with DCYF cer fied foster families. Foster and Biological

families meet soon a er placement occurs to focus on the needs of the child in an effort to smooth the

child’s transi on to foster care.

Increased iden fica on and connec on of Rela ve/Natural Supports for children in foster care.

Implementa on of a trauma‐informed screening and assessment process for all children entering foster care

to be er iden fy and support their needs and promote their well‐being.

DCYF funds an array of preven ve programs, which provide suppor ve and rehabilita ve services to focus on

either preven ng children from entering foster care or shortening their stay if placed in care.

In 2012, the Preven on unit managed an average of 530 cases per month, serving over 1,200 children.

There was an emphasis on evidenced‐based preven ve services geared towards targeted communi es to

address the complex needs of families and youth.

In order to maximize resources due to ongoing decline in Youth Bureau funding, Preven ve Service Providers

and Youth Bureau funded providers have collaborated so that when formal services for families have ended,

they con nue to have access to community supports.

Two ini a ves were implemented towards improvement of juvenile jus ce services; the Department was

chosen as a Juvenile Deten on Alterna ve Ini a ve (JDAI) site and work towards the implementa on of the

NYS mandated Deten on Risk Assessment Instrument (DRAI) has begun

Due to the number of child fatali es in Albany County over the recent years related to unsafe sleep

environments for infants, a Safe Sleep campaign has been ini ated by the Albany County Child Fatality

Review Team and the County Execu ve’s Office. A media event kick off was held in March of this year and

has resulted in the formula on of a Safe Sleep Task Force in Albany County.

The Safe Sleep Task Force con nues to meet to iden fy strategies for addressing this public safety concern,

including the development of a safe sleep poster with the goal of hanging over changing tables throughout

various businesses in Albany County.

September is Baby Safety Month. Another media event in September highlighted the Safe Sleep Campaign,

the task force work, and how DCYF has collaborated with area hospitals to educate parents about the

poten al risk factors.

In 2014, the goal is con nue to implement recommenda ons of the Safe Sleep Task Force.

The Children’s Mental Health Clinic is now fully staffed and has expanded from a crisis clinic to an on‐going

outpa ent treatment clinic, expanding the access of clinical services. In addi on, our Psychologists were

successfully incorporated into the clinic license in order to provide the op onal services which will include

developmental and psychological tes ng. Addi onally, co‐loca ng a fiscal person from Administra ve

Services has assisted the Children’s clinic in properly claiming and obtaining the generated revenue for the

clinic.

In 2014, the goal is to con nue to build capacity at the clinic while also genera ng revenue to sustain

Children’s Mental Health services as well as to expand mental health services into the hill towns, which has

been iden fied as an area in need of such suppor ve services.

DCYF has established the “Children’s Fund of Albany County”, a not for profit component fund of the

Community Founda on for the Greater Capital Region, used to collect charitable contribu ons for the

families and children of Albany County

Goals for the Children’s Fund in 2014 include raising funds for Lawson Lake and to provide summer camp

grants for the children of Albany who would otherwise be unable to afford the cost. As well as raise funds to

award college educa onal grants to foster care children aspiring towards secondary educa onal goals.

The Know How We Grow (KHWG) Coali on was ini ated to increase awareness of the need for early

developmental screening for the 0‐5 popula on and to coordinate services of all county and community

providers who provide these services to this vulnerable popula on. KHWG is in the process of finalizing the

development of a “one front door” concept known as the Single Point of Entry (SPOE). SPOE partnered

collabora on will eliminate duplica on of services, increase outreach and community educa on about

available services as well as connec ng families to the right providers and services.

DCYF recognizes that we serve a diverse popula on and the importance of delivering culturally sensi ve and

equitable services. As such, the Department places an emphasis on tolerance, awareness, and educa on

and has implemented ini a ves towards this ambi on.

The Department has established the Dispropor onate Minority Representa on (DMR) commi ee which

focuses on ways to improve outcomes for minority children in the foster care and juvenile jus ce systems. In

2014, the commi ee will con nue to look at ways to lessen dispropor onality as well as ways to be er

engage with the external community.

The Department has begun partnering with the Pride Center regarding trainings the Pride Center can provide

to Departmental staff as well preven ve and foster care service providers to ensure the provision of

culturally sensi ve services to the LGBT popula on.

2014 GOALS ANDPERFORMANCE TARGETS

Unfunded mandates, capped alloca ons, and repeated retroac ve rate adjustments con nue to place

significant burdens on the County, Department, and the DCYF staff.

NYS has established a fiscal agent to assume billing responsibili es for the Early Interven on (E.I.) Services.

However, since this change has been implemented, providers have not received payment, and as such, some

individual service providers are no longer providing E.I. services, impac ng service provision for children and

families. Addi onally, the takeover has not reduced the administra ve burden of the Department and there

is concern regarding increased cost to the county.

Caseworker’s Tes monial I worked with a family that lived in a shelter. The father‐figure was caring for 7 children, 6 of which were not his biological children. This father was young and struggled but did his best to keep the children to‐gether and not allow them to be separated. He accepted support from DCYF in obtaining WIC, food stamps, DSS and was profusely grateful for the support that he received. I reached out to the community to help this family and was overwhelmed with the response. The parents and staff of Bought Hills Elemen‐tary School donated $900 in Price Chopper gi cards, Shaker Junior HS donated mul ple wrapped pre‐sents. St. Catherine’s donated toys and clothing. Lisa P. (a small business owner) organized a schedule in which the family would receive a catered meal from Bellini’s to the family every Tuesday for a year. Lisa also delivered mul ple bags of groceries, a TV and VCR, kitchen essen als and bedding to the family and ul mately helped to move the family out of a shelter and into an apartment.

Although the Close to Home Ini a ve was not approved, NYS OCFS (Office of Children and Family Services)

con nues to close facili es. With less juveniles allowed to enter that level of care program without fiscal

assistance for local districts to provide support to these youth, these youth are entering foster care and

deten on at a higher recidivism rate.

WHO WE SERVE

Albany County Civil Service services employees in all county government departments, eight towns, six villages, ten school districts, seven public libraries, two special districts (Sewer District and Soil and Water) and two authori es (Green Island Power Authority and Airport Authority). We provide services to over 65 appoin ng authori es and more than 6,500 employees.


The department consists of three skilled Personnel Technicians and a Data Entry Operator who are supervised by the Director and Deputy Personnel Officer. The Department of Civil Service is mandated by New York State Civil Service Law to monitor the employment and appointment of candidates in the classified service.

Over the past nine years, Civil Service has decreased the provisional percentage rate from a high of 19.6% in 2004 to 3.4% as of August of 2013 (see graph A). This is a primary indicator of Civil Service administra on success.

Applica on review and payroll cer fica ons con nue to be completed as scheduled.

Conducted numerous trainings in 2013, including Civil Service 101, Reduc ons in Force, MERIT educa onal seminars and presented at County Administra on School.

Due to the stagnant economy and increasing unemployment, there has been a substan al increase in the

number of exam applicants. For example, in 2010, 129 people applied to take the Clerk I exam. In 2013, we

had 254 people apply for the same exam. Likewise, in 2013, 320 people applied to take the Correc on Officer

exam, as opposed to the 118 that signed up in 2008. Despite the increased workload, we have managed to

conduct these exams without an increase to our opera on expenses. 2014 GOALS AND PERFORMANCE TARGETS

Provide outreach to increase veteran and minority applicants. This includes a ending job fairs with both the Albany County Veterans Service Bureau and the Affirma ve Ac on Department.

Maintain our provisional rate below 4% through the mely ordering of exams and use of exis ng eligible lists.

Reduce exam costs by u lizing county owned buildings to administer exams and conduc ng two exam

sessions on the same day which will lessen the need to rent off‐site spaces.

ABOUT THIS ACCOUNT

Sec ons 6304 and 6305 of the New York State Educa on Law require contribu ons from a student’s “home county” for

the payment of community college expenses incurred outside of the county.

Community College payments are based on a formula that determines a full‐ me equivalent

(FTE) student chargeback rate for each student, which is billed back to their home county. The

rate is established by dividing the local sponsor share by the total number of full‐ me

equivalent students (FTE’s) a ending the ins tu on from all coun es. This is the per capita rate

that should be applied to all students regardless of the county of residence. For out‐of‐state

students, this amount is simply added to the student’s tui on amount. The chargeback rate

itself has an opera onal and capital component that is influenced by different factors.

The opera onal rate changes if the size of the community college’s budget increases or

decreases or the number of students rises or falls significantly. For instance, if the community

college’s net opera ng budget increases or the number of students falls, the chargeback rate

increases.

Due to its proximity to Albany County, many more Albany residents a end Hudson Valley

Community College (HVCC) in Rensselaer County than any other community college in the New

York system. In 2012, HVCC represented approximately 88 percent of Albany County’s liability

for community college chargebacks. Thus, Albany County’s costs are very dependent on

enrollment at HVCC and its financial interac ons with its sponsor county, Rensselaer. As shown

1998: $4,600,000 1999: $4,400,000 2000: $4,700,000 2001: $5,500,000 2002: $6,627,197 2003: $7,875,494 2004: $6,214,971 2005: $5,854,391 2006: $6,050,000 2007: $7,800,000 2008: $8,200,000 2009: $8,200,000 2010: $10,283,185 2011: $10,650,000 2012: $10,665,000 2013: $10,100,000 2014: $10,300,000


A local sponsor share is determined by deduc ng state aid and student tui on payments from the community

college’s net opera ng budget. The opera onal chargeback formula has enabled sponsoring coun es with community

colleges to keep their costs stable while increasing the costs to coun es without community colleges. Sponsoring

coun es may use the community college’s fund balance to subsidize their full‐ me equivalent payment for students.

Thus, Albany

County’s contribu on to the opera on of HVCC has grown rapidly, while its sponsor’s contribu on has remained flat

for years. Despite this increase in costs, Albany County has no role in either the governance of Hudson Valley Com‐

munity College or in oversight of its costs or finances.

Community College Amount Share

Hudson Valley Community College $8,640,083 88%

Fashion Ins tute of Technology $503,859 5%

Schenectady County Community College $194,468 2%

Columbia Greene County Community College $155,240 2%

All Other $301,408 3%


COMMUN I T Y CO L L EG E TU I T I ON ‐ 2 4 9 0

In the table below, the vast majority of Albany County chargebacks go to HVCC.

*Tui on and Chargeback Rates represent academic years. Albany County costs represent calendar year.

As can be seen in the above chart, Rensselaer County’s contribu on has remained virtually unchanged over the last

decade – increasing by only $100,000 or 3.2% while Albany County’s contribu on has increase by $3.8 million or 80%.

In 2013‐2014, Rensselaer County’s contribu on is going to increase to $3,591,900. Rensselaer County’s contribu on

this year, as a percentage of the community college’s net opera ng budget, is the lowest of any sponsor County in New

York State.

The typical sponsor county contribu on totals 17.0 percent of their community college’s net opera ng budget. If

Rensselaer County contributed this amount during the 2012‐2013 academic year, their contribu on would have

increased to more than $16 million – an increase of $13 million.

While Rensselaer County’s contribu on has remained essen ally capped, Albany County has seen its costs double. In

light of this gross inequity, the County Execu ve has engaged in an exci ng new partnership with Schenectady County

Community College, whereby a satellite campus is going into the County office building in downtown Albany. Not only

is this great for students, who will have closer access to higher educa on opportuni es, but it will provide an influx of

college students into downtown Albany. With over 1,000 students taking classes in downtown Albany, the economic

impact will be significant. Students will gain valuable skills and downtown restaurants and coffee shops will get an

influx of customers.

In 2013, the State enacted Legisla on that will reform the community college chargeback formula. If, as promised, the

formula will require that sponsoring communi es pay their fair share, phased in over 5 years, it will mean that Albany

County’s costs per student should decrease, while the quality of educa on will not suffer. This change is not expected to

take effect un l the fall semester of 2014.

MISSION STATEMENT

The Mission of the County Execu ve is to ensure the efficient opera on and delivery of high‐quality services to Albany

County residents.

WHO WE SERVE

Albany County government serves a popula on of 304,204 as per the 2010 census. Residents

are spread out over three ci es, six villages and ten towns in an area that covers 582 square

miles.


The County Execu ve is the Chief Execu ve Officer of County government, elected by the voters

of Albany County to a four‐year term of office. Responsibili es of the Office include direc ng,

coordina ng and monitoring the ac vi es of all County administra ve units under the County

Execu ve’s control: appoin ng administra ve heads of departments; approving and execu ng

contracts and agreements for the County as authorized; direc ng the crea on of the Tenta ve

Annual Budget; maintaining communica ons with federal, state and local governments; and

direc ng special projects requiring coordina on among County departments.


Finding a solu on for the Albany County Nursing Home, which is cos ng taxpayers

$1,000,000/month to operate the facility. The County Execu ve proposed to lease

the facility to Upstate Services Group to protect our seniors by providing a safety

net, protec ng our taxpayers and accep ng financial responsibility. When the

Legislature failed to act on that proposal, the County Execu ve agreed to hire a

Nursing Home Execu ve Director while a Local Development Corpora on is

formed which will then deal with the opera on of the facility.

Key se lements were reached with six unions on contracts that cover seven years.

The County Execu ve achieved a se lement enabling all county employees

furloughed in 2009 to receive one hour of paid me off for each hour of furloughed me taken. Roughly

1,200 employees would receive this benefit .

In January, the County Execu ve announced a partnership with Schenectady County Community College that

will bring approximately 1,000 students to 112 State Street to take classes on the second floor of the county

office building beginning January 2014. This will bring an economic boost to the downtown area and help

the county in its con nuing efforts to pay lower community college chargeback costs.

Emphasizing the importance of partnerships, the County Execu ve successfully partnered with many

agencies and organiza ons to help and educate Albany County residents. They include:

A safe sleeping campaign with the NYS Office of Children and Family Services, the NYS Department

of Health and the county’s Department of Children, Youth and Families was launched with

forma on of a task force and media campaign in the Greater Albany area;

Hands‐only CPR campaign with all county Emergency Medical personnel and the American Heart

Associa on to provide free training in the lifesaving technique;

Bus campaign with the Sheriff’s Office and District A orney’s Office involving the danger of using

prescrip on drugs and then driving; and

Clothe‐a‐homeless hero program with the Albany Interna onal Airport, TSA and HATAS (Homeless

and Travelers Aid Society) to get clothing that is le behind at airport security check points to

homeless veterans.

Focusing on his commitment to children, the County Execu ve partnered with Albany County Sheriff Craig

DGS does not typically interact with the public except when working with contractors at our facili es; how‐ever, when the County Execu ve decided to open up Lawson Lake for the summer, the best effort of every County employee was required and DGS fully par cipated in this endeavor. Many of our employees readily

agreed to work long and difficult hours to guarantee the camp was ready for the children when they ar‐rived. Some of the tasks completed by members of DGS included moving and transpor ng refrigerators to the camp, cleaning the site and removing debris in 90 degree weather and working to ensure many other necessary accoutrements were available making certain the counselors and children had a wonderful and

memorable experience.

and also enables the department to provide enhanced coordina on of care and services throughout the county to assure

the best possible maternal and child health outcomes.

Childhood Lead Inspec on Program Our childhood lead inspec on program has developed several new and produc ve partnerships in 2013. The exis ng Childhood Lead Poisoning Primary Preven on Program seeks to visit and inspect high risk housing in Albany County to check for areas of chipping and peeling paint and require owners or landlords to remediate those areas to protect children from lead poisoning before a child is exposed and poten ally poisoned. This year we developed new partnerships with Sec on 8 Housing in the City of Albany, St. Peter’s Hospital Materni‐ty Unit, USCRI (United States Commi ee for Refugees and Immigrants) and we are currently in discussions with the City of Cohoes for a similar partnership in their Code Enforcement unit. We have agreements in place with these partners that include referrals to us of qualified housing for inspec on and remedia on of lead hazards. St. Peter’s Maternity Department is assis ng us by including informa on about our program in take‐home packs given to new moms. Once the referral is received, our inspectors visit the home, provide cleaning prod‐ucts and educa on on lead safety, and ensure that lead issues iden fied in the home are corrected and reme‐diated. This program is fully funded by New York State Department of Health and is aided by the Na onal Cen‐ter for Healthy Housing. These partnerships have far reaching effects and have helped us move forward to‐

wards our 2014 Performance Targets.

ABOUT THIS ACCOUNT

The Jus ces and Constables account funds the County’s payments to towns and villages for the

services of their courts in felony proceedings that would otherwise be handled by County

courts.

Pursuant to Sec on 99‐1 of the General Municipal Law, all towns and villages in New York State

are en tled to claim from the Jus ce Court Fund, which is maintained by the Office of the State

Comptroller, the sum of ten dollars for every case in which their courts act upon a felony‐level

criminal ma er. Those costs then become a charge upon the County in which the municipality

is located. Coun es must periodically reimburse the Jus ce Court Fund for the payments made

to their local governments.

L AW ‐ 1 4 2 0 MISSION STATEMENT

The statutory language in the County Law clearly defines the Department of Law’s (DOL) mission – the County A orney

shall be the legal advisor to the Legislature and every county officer in all ma ers, and shall prosecute and defend all civil

ac ons and proceedings brought by or against the County and its officials. In short, the Department of Law advises,

reviews, enforces and defends all legal issues.

WHO WE SERVE

Department of Law’s client is the corpora on of Albany County and its officers.


DOL a orneys by year end will have appeared in Court on the County’s behalf over 5,500

mes. They will have reviewed and dra ed over 700 contracts for various departments, have

provided approximately 400 opinions for agencies, departments and elected officials and have

handled over 500 property ma ers.


Consolida on. In 2012, the legal resources within the County were consolidated

under the Department of Law. Since that me, we have reduced our reliance

upon outside counsel and streamlined the services being provided to our

clients. Historically, outside counsel for civil cases cost the County in excess of

$325,000 annually (insured claims). To date this year, DOL has paid $52,000 for

outside counsel for insured claims. Except in rare instances, at this me, all new

li ga on is being handled by staff a orneys under the supervision of the County

A orney. This was accomplished as a result of consolida on. We were able to

free some a orneys from mundane court appearances, and u lize their services in

other areas. In addi on, opinions and li ga on issues previously provided for DSS

and DCYF by DOL civil trial a orneys are now performed by lawyers formerly with

DSS and DCYF. We were able to tap into the exper se of these trained a orneys,

allowing more me for the civil trial a orneys to li gate.

Government Harmony. DOL has been able to blend the polar posi ons of various departments. As the

Legislature is aware, on occasion, a posi on by one department is at odds with the posi on of another

department head, employee or cons tuent. As advisory and counselor, we have worked hard to smooth

these tensions, avoiding contemptuous turf wars, which frequently fa gue government.


To con nue to train and cross train lawyers within the Department of Law to maximize our abili es and

reduce duplica ve work.

To con nue to handle li ga on in‐house and to con nue to eradicate the need to employ outside counsel.

To favorably resolve the Redistric ng li ga on.

To serve more completely the Legislature and the Departments of Albany County.

DOL’s proposed budget con nues the goals of consolida on. Reliance upon outside counsel has been significantly

reduced and those func ons have been absorbed by DOL. The proposed DOL budget reallocates monies from the in‐

surance fund to DOL line items to pay necessary expenses incidental to the handling of li ga on claims, including but

not limited to, supplies, stenographers, expert witnesses, and other necessary li ga on costs. In addi on, we have

included a request for a pe y cash account to enable DOL to pay Court filing fees and similar costs associated with

li ga on. These costs were previously borne by outside counsel, billed back to the County and paid through the insur‐

ance Risk Reten on Fund. Correspondingly, we have reduced the insurance Risk Reten on Fund to a level that re‐

flects a reduced reliance upon outside counsel while allowing us to adequately pay claims as required by our contracts

of insurance.

changes.

ACDMH services touch numerous lives each year. O en, these services are life‐changing; some mes they prove life‐saving. Below is a brief summary of one such encounter. Names are withheld and circumstances are slightly changed to protect the privacy of those involved: As a follow‐up to yesterday's appointment with my son, I just want you to know that I got my son’s prescrip‐

ons and had them filled today. What a relief. I want to again thank you for all your help. I know that you

went way above the call of duty to ensure that we can keep my son on track. How do you thank someone for

saving their son's life? I am truly grateful to you for all your help. If I can ever help you out in any way,

please do not hesitate to call me. I would like to send a copy of this message to your supervisor but I don't

have the email address. I did get a return phone call from another agency but forgot to men on how great

you are at your job. I'm feeling a bit like a deer looking in headlights lately so forgive me for forge ng to

men on you.

MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the Proba on Department is to provide quality services to all courts in Albany County by conduc ng pre‐

sentence inves ga ons, supervising adult and juvenile offenders at meaningful levels, and by providing alterna ve

sentencing programs.

WHO WE SERVE

The Proba on Department provides services to approximately 2,800 adults sentenced to

Proba on by local Criminal Courts in Albany County and those proba oners transferred to

Albany County from other State and local jurisdic ons. Further, the department provides

services to approximately 1,000 youth per year, under the jurisdic on of the Albany County

Family Court.


The Albany County Proba on Department provides a State mandated service for which the

County receives State aid. The Proba on Department provides services in three major areas to

meet its mandate:

Intake Diversion, which acts as a screening process to determine the

appropriateness of PINS (Person in Need of Supervision) and JD (Juvenile

Delinquent) cases for which the local Family Court has jurisdic on, and a empts

to divert certain cases from formal Family Court processing;

Pre‐Sentence Pre‐Disposi onal Inves ga on, which produce a wri en document

of an individual’s legal and social history subsequent to a convic on in criminal

court or an adjudica on in Family Court; and

Supervision of both adults and juveniles placed on proba on as a sentence/

disposi on imposed by a Criminal Court or Family Court.

Through the Supervision program, proba on services provides the proba oner with mandated

opportuni es for rehabilita on, protec on to the community and is a cost effec ve deterrent

to incarcera on and/or out of home residen al placement.


On June 1, 2013, the department implemented our new Supervision Rule, promulgated by our State oversight agency,

NYS Office of Proba on and Correc onal Alterna ves. The Rule requires a change in the defined categories of risk and

the requirements for face‐to‐face contact plus contact within the residence of the individual proba oner. This poses a

challenge to the department in that there is greater emphasis on supervision to ensure that all face‐to‐face and home

contacts are completed each month on those high risk cases where the new rule requires such.

The department has worked closely with our Informa on Services Department to develop a protocol for proba oner

contact through real me technology. Through video conferencing technology, Proba on Officers and proba oners can

meet the required contacts without being in the same place. This will increase our capacity to meet our new Supervision

Rule requirement for contacts.


The department will con nue to u lize Risk Assessment Instruments to determine a proba oner’s risk to re‐offend and

their proper supervision classifica on. Further, focus will be on those scoring “greatest” and “high” risk on the

instruments and their created case plan. The case plan will emphasize long term goals, short term goals and ac on steps

to be achieved in the case. The goal will be to increase the number of Proba on Officers trained in mo va onal

interviewing, thereby providing a tool to enhance the mo va on in offenders to be more successful. The performance

target will be to train all Proba on Officers and Supervisors responsible for greatest risk and high risk caseloads in

mo va onal interviewing techniques, and develop a protocol for Supervisors to determine an Officer’s use of this tool

and success it has with cases.

The Department will partner with County IT Services to enhance our capability of video conferencing technology to allow

proba on staff and proba oners to “meet” with each other without the need to be in the same place. This

implementa on of real‐ me technology will help Proba on Officers meet the required contact provision of our new

Supervision Rule.


The 2014 Execu ve Budget for the Department of Proba on does not include any substan ve programma c changes.

On August 8, 2013, late in the a ernoon, our Department met with an individual who had just been placed on proba on for not keeping law enforcement aware of his change of address. E.A. was a Level III sex offender, who had spent the be er part of 30 years incarcerated for his offense of Rape 1st. The proba oner was homeless and under a 90 day sanc on by the Department of Social Services due to non‐compliance with correspondence. Through the work of the Proba on Officer assigned to the case and the DSS worker, it was determined that the proba oner had not responded to the DSS correspondence because he had been incarcerated in the Albany County Correc onal Facility on the charge for which he was placed on proba on. When this informa on was presented by the Proba on Officer to the DSS worker, the sanc on was li ed and the defendant was housed for the evening. The next day the proba oner, the Proba on Officer and the DSS worker met to determine the de‐fendant’s eligibility for services, housing and work.

PUB L I C DE F END ER ‐ 1 1 7 0 MISSION STATEMENT

The Office of the Public Defender provides legal representa on to individuals that are accused of crimes in Albany County

and for specified proceedings in Family Court as required by Ar cles 18‐A and 18‐B of New York State County Law. The

right of an indigent client to be represented by an a orney for these cases is guaranteed by the United States and New

York State Cons tu ons.

The Public Defender’s goal is to provide excellent representa on in the most efficient manner.

The Public Defender represents the indigent accused at every stage of the criminal proceeding

from arraignment through final disposi on, including, when appropriate, appeals from adverse

judgments and decisions.

Our goal is to provide the indigent who are accused of a crime or who are en tled to

representa on in Family Court, truly competent legal representa on, which is at least equal to

that which they would expect to obtain from privately retained counsel. An individual’s

cons tu onal rights must be protected regardless of his or her financial circumstances.

WHO WE SERVE

The Office of the Public Defender provides legal representa on to individuals that are indigent

and accused of crimes in any court in Albany County or for specified proceedings in Albany

Family Court. In Albany County, there are courts in every city, town and village which meet on a

regular basis and a Public Defender represents indigent clients at all criminal court proceedings

when they are accused of a misdemeanor or felony. The busiest court is Albany City Court

which has three full me Judges opera ng on a daily basis. In addi on to Albany City Court,

there are sixteen addi onal local courts that assign cases to our office. We also represent

clients in Albany County Court which has jurisdic on over the resolu on and disposi on of

felony cases. We also represent individuals who are accused of viola ng the terms and

condi ons of their parole and we also file appeals to the Appellate Division. In addi on, we

represent indigent clients in Albany County Family Court for certain designated cases.

In 2011, we opened 10,871 cases comprised of 9,873 criminal cases and 998 cases in Family

Court. In 2012, we opened a total of 11,593 cases of which 10,405 were for criminal proceedings and 1,188 were for

Family Court ma ers.


Our office is organized to ensure that a orneys are not only present at every regularly scheduled court proceeding, but

also have me to prepare their cases un l each client’s case is resolved. A orneys are assigned to Albany City Court‐( the

busiest court in Albany County), Albany County Court, the sixteen local courts and Family Court. A orneys are also

assigned to represent client’s accused of viola ng their parole and those filing appeals to the Appellate Division. An

a orney from our office will represent an accused individual at every stage of a criminal proceeding‐ from the

commencement of the proceeding at the arraignment through the comple on of a felony trial, if required.

During the past two years, all a orneys have taken on increased caseloads and assignments. To meet the demand of the

caseloads with limited staff, the Public Defender, and supervising a orneys, who previously did not handle regular

caseloads, are represen ng clients as well. In 2009, the Public Defender’s Office was comprised of 34 a orneys and 15

support staff. Currently there are 27 a orneys and 10 support staff. Our budget for 2014 proposes that we operate with

28 a orneys and 11 support staff. Each a orney and member of the support staff have taken on addi onal

responsibili es, but most importantly, con nue to provide the excep onal level of professional service that has been

historically provided by the Albany County Public Defender’s Office.

The Public Defender’s Office is also working with the newly created New York State Office of Indigent Legal Services, which

monitors the flow of state funds to coun es for the representa on of indigent clients. Albany County and all other

upstate coun es are now required to apply for grants from this Office to maintain the current level of funding that had

previously been provided to the County by the State. Equally important, the Indigent Legal Services Office has announced

an ini a ve that each person accused of a crime should have an a orney to represent him at his arraignment. We are

proud that the Albany County Public Defender’s Office submi ed a grant proposal that was accepted by the Office of

Indigent Legal Services that will allow our office to represent more clients at their ini al court appearances throughout the

County Of Albany.


The Public Defender’s Office has con nued to represent clients in an efficient and excellent manner. We have con nued

to pursue trials when necessary and obtain the most favorable plea bargains for our clients. Most important, we have

con nued to develop Alterna ves to Incarcera on for clients. Alterna ves to Incarcera on are not only less expensive for

taxpayers, but also provide clients with services needed to prevent future involvement with the criminal jus ce system

and become self‐sufficient members of society. The office has con nued to expand its rela onship with Albany Law

School which has resulted in legal interns being able to gain valuable experiences while assis ng our a orneys in

represen ng clients. As more responsibility is placed on the office by clients and courts, our a orneys have responded

with a professional, crea ve and posi ve approach. For the first me a orneys in Family Court have also begun to use

their exper se and experience to represent clients that are charged with crimes.


Our goal for 2014 is to con nue to represent clients in the most efficient and professional manner. We will pursue

addi onal funds from the Office of Indigent Legal Services to hire a orneys. Addi onally, we look to partner with

neighboring coun es to apply for funds from the Office of Indigent Legal Services for special cases in which individuals

could face collateral consequences as a result of a convic on for clients who are not US Ci zens. We also will u lize

funding from the Office of Indigent Legal Services to provide legal training to our a orneys, hire expert witnesses when

needed and to acquire new equipment for the office. The Public Defender will con nue to meet with the judges of many

of the courts in Albany County, law enforcement officials and prosecutors to discuss methods to increase the opera onal

efficiencies of the courts.

Several years ago, Mary was suddenly and unexpectedly deserted by her husband who fled to a foreign

country. She was le to raise three children and had no stable means of financial support. During this tur‐

bulent me, she was arrested for stealing. When she first appeared in a local court, her life was falling

apart all around her and she had hit “rock bo om.” Her a orney recognized the unique circumstances

that she confronted and reached out to the appropriate agencies to provide her with support. A quick res‐

olu on of the case was not appropriate in this situa on. The a orney worked with the client for almost

one year before the case was resolved. At that me the client was more stable financially and mentally

and had decided to complete her college educa on. A favorable disposi on was reached based upon the

nature of the crime and the nature of the offender. Ul mately, Mary went to graduate school, became a

United States ci zen and became a professor at a college. Without the exper se and counsel of an experi‐

enced a orney, Mary’s case could have resolved with her being sentenced to jail and possibly resul ng in

her deporta on. Fortunately for Mary, her case became one of the inspira onal stories of a client that

overcame what seemed like insurmountable obstacles to achieve success in her life.

The New York State and Local Re rement System Contribu on Stabiliza on Program is an op onal program that establish– as a

graded contribu on rate system. If governments elect to par cipate, it enables them to pay a por on of annual contribu ons

over me, leading to smoother, more predictable pension costs. In 2013, a second op on was enacted by the State which al-

lows local governments to amor ze a larger percentage of their obliga on.

In contrast to the normal annual re rement contribu on, as the Re rement System’s average rates rise, the County’s annual

contribu on under the Stabiliza on Program would be less than the normal contribu on, since the graded rate increase is

capped at one percent. When the System’s average rates begin to decline, the graded rates will decline in one percent incre-

ments. Therefore, it will be possible for the System’s average rates to be lower than the graded rates. In such instances, the

County will pay the graded rate. Any addi onal contribu ons will first be used to pay off exis ng amor za ons. If all amor za-

ons have been paid, any excess will be deposited into a reserve account and will be used to offset future increases in contribu-

on rates. Under the new program, rates can only increase or decrease by one-half of one percent.

RETIREMENT AND STABILIZATION SAVINGS

Given the con nued financial constraints facing Albany County in 2013, the 2014 Execu ve Budget assumes that it will be re-

quired to par cipate in the “Alternate“ Contribu on Stabiliza on Program for its 2014 pension obliga on. According to the in-

forma on provided by the New York State Office of the State Comptroller, Albany County’s pension obliga on for 2014 will to-

tals $25,769,693 of which $7,632,102 can be amor zed under the original contribu on stabiliza on program for an out of pock-

et expense of $18,137,591. Under the alternate program, $9,268,875 can be amor zed for an out of pocket expense of

$16,500,818. However, given that the proposed budget accounts for the transfer of nursing home opera ons to the Local De-

velopment Corpora on, our liabili es have been adjusted accordingly.

The 2014 bill will also contain payments totaling at least $3 million for prior amor za ons and installment payments associated

with the Early Re rement Incen ves offered by the County. In 2013, the total payments for prior costs was projected to be $2.2

million.

As can be seen in the chart above, our re rement system contribu ons are highly variable from year to year. Since 2009, our

re rement system obliga on has increase from less than $9 million to more than $25 million in 2013. Unfortunately, even

though our yearly pension obliga on based on salaries and contribu on rates is declining, the full benefit of that decrease is

offset by payments from past amor za ons.

MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the Albany County Department of Social Services (DSS) is to improve the quality of life in Albany County by

helping people to help themselves, to help those incapable of ac ng on their own behalf and to help ensure everyone in

our County has a safety net available while they work to achieve and sustain self‐sufficiency.

WHO WE SERVE

The table below outlines the number of cases we have handled since the recession of 2008.

While the chart summarizes the number of cases, it should be noted that some of the cases

receiving “en tlement” services are also receiving some of the other services offered by the

Department. Currently, DSS serves over 64,500 unduplicated individuals within our en tlement

programs, which is more than 20% of the total popula on in the county. This is a 30% increase

since 2009.


DSS is responsible for addressing the social service needs of low income residents, as well as

those who are unable to care for and protect themselves. DSS delivers services that support

and protect families and individuals while encouraging self‐sufficiency and personal

responsibility. The Department offers Albany County residents temporary cash, supplemental

nutri on, energy and medical assistance, advocacy related to child support orders, as well as

services and case management to support the transi on to more stable, safe and produc ve

lives.

The agency provides mandated services direct to clients within the following major areas:

The Temporary Assistance Division is designed to meet the essen al financial

needs of eligible individuals and families and foster their ability to achieve

economic self‐sufficiency.

The Employment and Day Care Division provides job readiness training, job

placements and assistance with child care costs to help individuals prepare for,

secure and retain employment.

The Health Insurance Division provides access to health insurance to eligible individuals and families who

otherwise would be unable to afford health care. Clients are served through Medicaid, Child Health Plus,

Family Health Plus and the Medicare Savings Programs.

The Nutri on and Energy Division operates the Supplemental Nutri on Assistance Program (SNAP –

formerly known as Food Stamps) which is designed to assist low income individuals and families meet their

nutri onal needs. It also administers the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) which offers financial

assistance to offset residen al hea ng fuel and u lity costs.

The Adult Services Division assists elderly and disabled individuals by providing a centralized informa on

and referral line, through NY Connects, a variety of homecare programs and Adult Protec ve services.

The Child Support Enforcement Division provides services to iden fy and locate financially responsible

parents to establish and enforce child support orders. For some clients this helps reduce dependence on

public assistance.

In 2013 the Fraud & Day Care Units completed its Child Care Fraud Preven on and Detec on Incen ve Grant

that was awarded by NYS Office of Children and Family Services. Through the use of the grant, the Fraud Unit

was able to strengthen the Front End Detec on System (FEDS) and Back End Detec on System (BEDS)

resul ng in $1,625,900 in cost avoidance for the program.

Supplemental Nutri on Assistance Program (formerly known as Food Stamps) has achieved and is

maintaining a 99% meliness rate for applica on determina ons thus ensuring that eligible Albany County

households have mely access to food.

The Day Care Unit par cipated in a pilot project for the newest technology in tracking child care a endance;

biometric finger scanning. This technology authen cates the parents or other authorized adults before they

drop off or pick up children in subsidy programs at childcare providers. Albany County agrees with this

ini a ve and will con nue to support and expand as allowed.

The Employment Unit worked with our contracted providers to assist 476 individuals in obtaining

employment, a 10% increase over 2012.

Developed a seamless transi on of Medicaid Home Care cases to Medicaid Managed Care Program without

interrup on in home care services.

The Temporary Assistance Division through the use of Solu ons to End Homelessness Program (STEHP)

funding rapidly rehoused 97 homeless households and prevented 180 households from evic on.

Reduced the annual expenditure for moving and storage by 15% by u lizing available resources within the

community.


The Fraud Unit will expand its emphasis on rigorously inves ga ng Safety‐Net Assistance applica ons. The

Unit will also work with the Temporary Assistance and Employment Divisions on Safety‐Net “Employable”

individuals to ensure that job search and other requirements are being followed.

Par cipate in NYS Office of Temporary & Disability Assistance sponsored resurrec on of SSI/SSDI Outreach,

Assessment and Reten on (SOAR) ini a ve assis ng homeless disabled individuals with their applica on

We implemented an Albany County Consor um addressing homeless and near‐homeless issues for Veterans and their families in need of emergency services. The Department sought out community based professional subject ma er experts throughout Albany County to par cipate in the consor ‐um. Together, they planned and implemented a system where a volunteer Veteran greeter is locat‐ed with our Recep on Division to canvass people on their prior military service. Once iden fied, our greeter then no fies the proper agency that will then assist in obtaining any follow on services that they are eligible for. This unique approach will allow for proper iden fica on of Veterans so that they may maximize the benefits/services our country offers them while poten ally reducing county costs.

SUMMARY OF BUDGET CHANGES The 2014 Execu ve budget for the Department of Social Service does not include any substan ve program‐ma c changes.

DEPARTMENT BUDGETS A: GENERAL FUND ‐ SEPARATELY ELECTED DEPARTMENTS



The following Departmental Budgets within the County’s General Fund (A Fund) are under the auspices of sepa‐

rately elected officials. The substan ve por ons of the budget requests are presented as they were submi ed by

the Departments. Shared service charges and fringe benefits were calculated by the Department of Management

and Budget pursuant to formula and incorporated appropriately.

Where any differences exist between the requested and proposed columns within a budget, the requested col‐umn reflects the appropria on or revenue amounts requested by the separately elected official, and the pro‐posed reflects the recommenda ons of the County Execu ve.



AUD I T AND CONTRO L ‐ 1 3 1 5

MISSION STATEMENT

The Comptroller is the county’s separately elected Chief Fiscal Officer. It is his ul mate responsibility to provide oversight

and guidance rela ng to all of the county’s fiscal affairs. This office conducts departmental audits and strives to ensure

accuracy and mely informa on about the county’s finances.

WHO WE SERVE

The Comptroller is “the people’s watchdog”. The Department of Audit and Control strives to

provide fiscal transparency to the taxpayers of Albany County.


The Department of Audit and Control maintains an accurate system of records for

appropria ons, revenues, funds and expenditures. The department prescribes approved

methods of accoun ng for county officers and administra ve units. Addi onally, this office

examines all requisi ons to cer fy the availability of funds and then encumbers the requested

funds for expenditure. By audi ng and cer fying payment of all lawful claims and charges

against the county funds, this office validates and upholds the integrity of the county’s general

ledger. This department also advises the Legislature regarding the designa on of depositories

for county funds. In turn, we procure and reconcile statements from all the depositories and

report the results of our financial opera ons to federal, state and county officials. We also make

these results available to the general public in order to promote government transparency and

accountability.


This year the department began two new audits that are detailed in the last paragraph of this

narra ve. Notably, the Comptroller delivered his annual State of the Fiscal address in May to

the Legislature detailing the fiscal state of Albany County. Our office also successfully submi ed

a consolidated funding applica on to NYSERDA (New York State Energy Research and

Development Authority) in an effort to secure funding for an environmentally and fiscally

responsible project called the Green Fleet Project. Addi onally, our office was able to maintain

Albany County’s ra ngs with both Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s ra ngs services for a second year. This is especially

impressive and a testament to the county’s fiscal stability in a me when many other coun es have been downgraded.


For the 2014 year our office will once again look to maintain the fiscal stability of Albany County in this difficult economic

environment. We will con nue processing claims in accordance with the county’s prompt payment policy, as well as

con nue to provide mely informa on to the Legislature as a means to supply guidance for their future ac ons.

The 2014 Requested budget for the Department of Audit and Control includes a request for three addi onal auditors for

our office. These auditors will help us to more efficiently process claims and allow us to expand our audit schedule in the

upcoming years.

Interac ng with the public and other County departments: once again, the Department of Audit and Control conducted

roughly 35 to 40 hotel and motel audits to cer fy that the establishments are properly complying with the mandated

occupancy tax in Albany County. We typically complete 15 pe y cash and 5 to 10 departmental audits every year. For the

2012 budget cycle, the Department of Audit and Control audited approximately 53,000 claims and it is es mated that we

will have a similar total at the end of this year in 2013.


The 2014 Execu ve budget for the Department of Audit and Control does not include any substan ve programma c

changes.

If necessary, they also conduct a viewing for body iden fica on. We deal with and must help the grieving families and direct them to the proper re‐sources. Dealing with people grieving a death takes great sympathy and empathy, and coroners must master these skills to ensure that the situa on is taken care of with compassion.

MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the County Clerk is to receive, preserve and provide public access to records managed by our office,

including the records of other Albany County and City of Albany agencies stored in the Albany County Hall of Records

(ACHOR). This mission is to be accomplished in a cost‐effec ve manner, in order to allow our Department’s revenue to

con nue to exceed our expenses, providing a modest surplus to reduce County property taxes.

WHO WE SERVE

Owners of property in Albany County; plain ffs and defendants in larger civil court ac ons;

residents seeking to file DBAs (Does Business As), public informa on requests, passport

applica ons or those who wish to locate important informa on already on file here that relates

to them. At ACHOR: County and City agencies needing to store or retrieve records (and their

customers); historians, genealogists and members of the public who need to find informa on in

our records.


The Department is composed of two physically separate units: the County Clerk’s office in the

County Court House and the Hall of Records. The Clerk’s office is legally responsible for all land

records such as deeds and mortgages, all records of the Supreme Court and County Court in

Albany County and a variety of miscellaneous records. The County Clerk collects approximately

$33 million in revenue annually, and disburses this revenue to a variety of state and local

offices.

The Hall of Records provides systema c secure storage of inac ve and archival records of both

the County and the City of Albany (and receives funds from both). Over 93,000 cubic feet of

such records are stored in a specialized facility at much lower cost than if these records had to

be kept in regular office space. We recycle obsolete records at the end of their legal reten on

period. ACHOR staff maintains a computerized inventory of all holdings; preserves older

documents; scans or microfilms records of las ng value; and provides records management

advice to County and City departments.


An improving economy brought record volumes of work and revenue beginning in 2012; net

revenues of $3.48 million exceeded 2011 by 15.1%. Volumes of electronically filed court records

con nue to rise, easing the annual increase in paper filings of these cases. ACHOR’s success at

storing records is bringing our facility close to capacity (despite aggressively destroying obsolete

files.) ACHOR also won a compe ve grant of $52,710 to professionally conserve the County’s oldest original Dutch

records for future genera ons.


Increase the use of electronic filing to reduce processing me, postage and storage expenses.

Prepare for electronic recording of deeds and mortgages.

Con nue to remove inac ve records from office spaces to less expensive warehouse space.

Iden fy and describe addi onal archival records, and make these available to the public.

Maximize revenues while controlling expenses in order to further increase net departmental surplus.

Under a provision of Public Health law, the County Clerk personally unsealed an adoption record from the 1950’s, and completed a form from the State Health Department’s Adoption Information Registry showing what information the file contained concerning the birth parents’ health and family history. Sadly, most such records from that era focus on the adoptive parents, with only minimal attention to the birth mother and father.

D I S T R I C T AT TORNE Y ‐ 1 1 6 5 MISSION STATEMENT

The District A orney’s Office, with a county budget of $6.2 Million, has the legal obliga on to provide prosecutorial

services to every municipality in the County of Albany as well as New York State and Federal Agencies and who refer cases

for which jurisdic on lies in Albany County.

WHO WE SERVE

The District A orney represents the interest of the people in local, county, appellate and state

courts. Once an ac on is commenced, the prosecutors must obey melines imposed by the

courts in accordance with the Criminal Procedure Law of New York State. The nature of the

offense, the proof in a case, the volume of pending cases, and the resource to prosecute each

case are factors considered by a prosecutor when conveying an appropriate plea bargain offer.

Decisions made by the District A orney’s Office impact on Correc ons, i.e., jail, proba on, and

state prison.

Policies focusing on expedi ous case review, vic m contact and nego a ons implemented by

the District A orney’s Office have a posi ve net effect on sister agencies within the county:

With programs like Opera on Speeding Bullet, the Community Accountability

Board and other Alterna ve to Incarcera on programs, the Albany County

Correc onal Facility popula on has steadily declined, saving taxpayer dollars.

Expedi ous prosecu ons and coordina on with the Albany County Proba on

Department have resulted in felony offenders going to state prison faster than

ever before and not remaining in Albany County supported by local taxpayer

dollars.


Albany County is home to twelve law enforcement agencies, not including state and federal

agencies. Outside of New York City, Albany County has one of the greatest concentra ons of

law enforcement in the state. A police arrest or cita on represents the primary method by

which an individual is introduced into the Criminal Jus ce System. The budgets of all police

departments in Albany County referring cases for prosecu on to the District A orney’s Office

amounts to more than $110 Million dollars. This figure does not include cases referred by New York State or Federal

Agencies, such as the Department of Motor Vehicles, Insurance Fund, Inspector General, Health Department, FBI, DEA,

etc.


The District A orney’s Office has adopted a number of best prac ces to deliver swi and appropriate jus ce in spite of

budgetary constraints:

We adopted a Ver cal Prosecu on philosophy that has led to increased efficiency in prosecu on without

compromising local police budgets with the primary objec ve of removing dangerous criminals from the

streets of Albany County and into state correc ons as quickly as possible. With appropriate staff to case

ra os, dangerous criminals are prosecuted expedi ously, thus resul ng in more relief for vic ms of crime

and more me for state eligible offenders.

The Office has also priori zed Superior Court Informa on’s (SCI’s) to reduce stress and trauma for vic ms

while also increasing efficiencies within the prosecu on process. SCI’s allow a defendant to plead guilty to a

crime before they are indicted by a Grand Jury. These guilty pleas eliminate the me, energy and costs

associated with a Grand Jury presenta on and eventual jury trial. Law enforcement costs are significantly

decreased as officers are not needed for conferences or for tes mony, and court calendars are less burdened

as a consequence of elimina ng the need for conferences, mo ons, and hearings.

D I S T R I C T AT TORNE Y ‐ 1 1 6 5

By placing an enhanced focus on Financial Crimes, the Office of the District A orney has recovered more

than $1.7 million in res tu on to Albany County and New York State since the incep on of the Crimes

Against Revenue Program. Albany County ranks 5th in the state for res tu on recovery. Throughout 2013,

the Financial Crimes Unit has also successfully prosecuted several criminals using fraud to steal county and

state resources:

Mala Khan was found guilty of defrauding the Albany County Department of Social Services and New York

State.

Ronald Racela pleaded guilty to stealing more than $200,000 from the Brighter Choice Founda on and is

currently serving 5 to 10 years in prison for his decep on.

The Office has developed one of the most recognized alterna ves to incarcera on programs in the state. The

Community Accountability Board consists of volunteer community members who meet with nonviolent

offenders and work out restora ve disposi ons. Hundreds of cases are resolved through this restora ve

jus ce model and thousands of community service hours are liquidated in the community as a result of this

program, reducing the local jail popula on by one‐third and freeing up jail cells to increase revenues and

reduce proba on caseload. Throughout 2013 we have expanded the CAB program throughout Albany

County to Cohoes and now have more than 50 ac ve Board Members dispensing Jus ce and empowering

ci zens in our community.

The inconvenient truth is that most crimes are commi ed by young men between the ages of 15 and 23.

U lizing grant funding and assets seized from criminals, we have implemented several programs that target

this vola le popula on to prevent our youth from becoming involved in the criminal jus ce system. These

programs keep our children safe and have removed more than 450 guns from our community through the

ENOUGH GUN BUY BACK Program as well as built trust between our youth popula on and our law

enforcement community. This trust has helped our office solve and successfully prosecute some of our

county’s most violent crimes.


The District A orney has set aggressive goals for 2014 and plans to accomplish those goals and expanded services without

increasing expenses. Through 2014, The Office of the District A orney plans to:

Expand the Animal Cruelty Taskforce by ensuring that all first responders are employing best prac ces in

responding to crimes commi ed against animals and by priori zing preven on strategies in every

community to educate the public about what they can do to help.

Implement a Technology Lab within the Office to stay one step ahead of tech savvy criminals. “Dumping

phones” as soon as possible a er a crime is commi ed expedites our ability to solve crimes and leverage

pleas faster. State of the art financial crimes so ware will enable pa erns to be detected sooner to hopefully

prevent future crimes.

Engage the Albany County business community in our Counterfeit Detec on Program by training staff on

detec on of counterfeit money and use of credit card skimmers.

Partner with banks and agencies serving the elderly through the Seniors and Law Enforcement Together

Program to prevent ongoing fraud and crimes perpetrated against the elderly.

Con nue to develop our partnership with the New York State Health Department Bureau of Narco cs

Enforcement to bring further awareness to the risks of Prescrip on Drug Abuse and Drugged Driving.

Help our young people succeed by: Enlis ng students in the fight against bullying through the Bully Busters

Task Force to recognize bullying and stand up against aggressive and threatening behavior wherever and

whenever it occurs.


D I S T R I C T AT TORNE Y ‐ 1 1 6 5

Expanding the Legal Lives Program in elementary schools to increase students’ knowledge of the law and to

prevent juvenile delinquency through the development of cri cal and analy cal thinking skills.

Partnering with local educa onal ins tu ons and law enforcement officials in an effort to get more students

to improve a endance records and graduate on me through the School 1st Truancy Abatement Program

Re‐Launch the ENOUGH GUN BUY BACK Program to take even more illegal guns off of our streets.

Go Green! By u lizing technology and best prac ces to reduce the use of paper, ink and other costly re‐

sources as well as improve efficiency in the Albany County Criminal Jus ce System.

Con nue to expand our Community Jus ce Outreach Programs bringing a Community Accountability Board

to the town of Colonie, providing Alterna ves to Incarcera on Ini a ves at our Outreach Office and partner‐

ing with even more community agencies to serve our youth.


This is a status quo county budget which u lizes grant funds and assets seized from criminals to expand ini a ves.

exis ng services. A PSAP commi ee is established to maintain minimum standards for physical plant, equipment, staffing

The correc onal facility in conjunc on with the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society successfully implemented

the Albany S.T.A.R (Steps To Adop on Readiness) Partnership Program at the Albany County Correc onal

Facility. The Humane Society regularly receives adult dogs in need of homes that have good temperaments

but poor training. When a dog responds to basic commands, walks well on a leash and greets people

appropriately they are more easily adopted. The S.T.A.R. program allows inmates at the Albany County

Correc onal Facility to become the dog’s trainers. The dogs will be pre‐selected by the Humane Society, fed,

cared for and allowed to live with inmates who have been screened and selected for this program. The

program runs approximately 4 ‐6 weeks and has proven to be a great success.

each popula on as they go through life. Each of these programs includes educa onal components comprised

of lecture, discussion, physical resis ve strategies.

MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the Sewer District is to provide cost‐effec ve wastewater conveyance and treatment for its eight member

communi es while protec ng public health and con nuing to improve and protect the quality of the water environment.

WHO WE SERVE

The Sewer District’s primary responsibility is to convey and treat wastewater from its eight

member communi es— the Ci es of Albany, Cohoes, and Watervliet; the Villages of Colonie,

Green Island, and Menands; and parts of the Towns of Colonie and Guilderland which includes a

popula on of approximately 200,000. In 2011 the average daily flows received were 51.5

million gallons. The District also provides final sewage sludge disposal for regional wastewater

treatment plants u lizing the District’s excess solids handling capacity to generate revenues and

defray costs to member communi es.

Under the Scavenger Waste Hauling Program, overseen by the Wastewater Management

Department, the district accepts sep c tank, grease trap and portable toilet waste at the north

plant facility. In addi on, under a contractual agreement, the District accepts sludge generated

by the anaerobic / aerobic treatment of aircra de‐icing fluid generated at the Albany

Interna onal Airport. Total revenues received in 2011 for the scavenger waste, sewage sludge

and the airport was $1,541,947.

The District provides cooling water to Empire Genera ng in the Port of Rensselaer. In 2011 an

average of 2.91 million gallons per day of final effluent was provided, resul ng in revenues at

$351,600. The gray water system was commissioned on April 6, 2010 and is the largest

produc ve / beneficial use of secondary effluent in New York State.


To protect District facili es from possible treatment process upsets and damage caused by

industrial discharges, the Albany County Sewer District enforces all local, State, and Federal regula ons through the

Federal Pretreatment Program and Local Law F of 2005, and conduct random inspec ons and sampling to ensure

compliance. The District presently provides treatment for 11 significant industrial users which represent approximately

25% of the waste stream of the north plant.

The Sewer District services are mandated by the 1972 Federal Clean Water Act, delegated to New York State and enforced

by 6NYCRR Part 750 (Environmental Conserva on, New York Codes, Rules and Regula ons). The organiza on of regional

wastewater conveyance and treatment services was formalized by Resolu on No. 45 of 1968 by the Albany County

Legislature.

Opera ons are funded wholly through user fees and assessments.

County of Albany residents are provided a healthier, cleaner and safer environment as a result of the effec ve transport

and treatment of wastewater by the Albany County Sewer District.

2012 ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Completed the North and South Plant sludge pump replacement project which included 16 new pumps with

control and energy efficiency components.

Completed the North Plant belt filter press project which added an addi onal 2 meter press as part of the

business plan for the cogenera on commissioning.

Completed and commissioned the North Plant waste heat cogenera on project.

MISSION STATEMENT

The Department of Residen al Health Care Facili es provides excellence in long term care services to the people of Albany

County and surrounding areas. The facility will provide a nurturing atmosphere staffed by qualified and compassionate

individuals who are able to offer innova ve health care through complex medical services and a

comprehensive approach. The goal is a community integrated health care con nuum in which

every individual is a valued member.

WHO WE SERVE

The Nursing Home serves residents of Albany County and the surrounding areas in need of

placement in a skilled nursing facility. Historically, the Nursing Home has established a niche in

the marketplace by serving those pa ents tradi onally defined as “hard to place.” “Hard to

place” residents are those not normally considered for nursing home admission in the private

sector and include, but are not limited to, those with mental health diagnoses, those with

behavioral problems, those with advanced demen a, and those with clinically complex

condi ons. While the Facility cannot have an “open” admission policy and must be

discre onary with those that it agrees to admit, the Nursing Home makes every effort to

accommodate these kinds of applicants (as well as other more tradi onal nursing home

residents) for admission. The Facility does give preference in admissions to Albany County

residents during the placement process.


The Nursing Home provides skilled nursing services at the highest possible level of quality for

those it is privileged to serve. The Facility is licensed by the New York State Department of

Health and is cer fied for Medicare and Medicaid. The Facility also has a number of provider

contracts with third party insurers including Empire Blue Cross, CDPHP, MVP, and United Health

Care. The Nursing Home also contracts with the Veterans’ Administra on for the provision of

long term care for veterans who qualify for such services.

Organiza onally, the Nursing Home consists of eight interrelated departments to either provide care and clinical services

to the residents and/or to provide supplementary services and support to those departments who do provide care. Those

eight departments are Nursing, Rehabilita on Services, Food and Nutri on, Social Services, Therapeu c and Leisure Time

Ac vi es, Environmental Services, Administra on, and the Business Office. Currently there are approximately 325

employees who work at the Nursing Home.


In December 2012, a er last year’s narra ve had already been presented, the Nursing Home underwent a

survey by the New York State Department of Health. The results of this survey validated the improvements

made in the facility, both in resident care and in the physical structure of the Nursing Home. This was

reflected by the results shown on the Statement of Deficiencies, where we received zero cita ons related to

resident care, and was the best survey ever received by the Nursing Home.

During 2013, the Nursing Home con nued to refine its clinical programming. One of the most posi ve

advancements has been in the Facility’s Pallia ve Care Program. The program was started in 2010 and has

blossomed over the past 3 years, serving a greater numbers of residents. Headed by the Facility’s Medical

Director and Pallia ve Care RN Team Leader, the program offers comprehensive, specialized care to pa ents

with serious illness while focusing on allevia on of suffering and increasing the quality of life. Other

specialized programs that con nue to grow in 2013 include the Renaissance Integrated Structured

Enhancement (RISE) Program, the Wellness Center, the Restora ve Nursing and Dining Programs, and the

Skin Care Program.

Also in 2013 we completed the installa on of a sprinkler system covering the en re Facility. This was a huge

undertaking involving moving all residents out of their permanent units to a temporary unit while work was

done in each resident area. This effort would not have been possible without the help and support of several

other County departments working as a team with our staff and assis ng wherever needed.


As the Facility moves towards the new year it is also on the cusp of a new and exci ng era. The County Legislature passed a resolu on authorizing the crea on of a Local Development Corpora on (LDC) to provide an alterna ve to current County control of the facility. Everyone's goal for the ACNH is to ensure that whatever outcome is ul mately pursued, that the conversion occurs smoothly and in a manner that presents no interrup on in the high level of service, care and dignity residents and their families have come to expect.

For ease of understanding the impact of any poten al nursing home transi on, the requested column in the budget reflects a full year of opera ons and the proposed column represents the expecta on that the LDC will assume opera ons on July 1st, 2014.

2014 ALBANY COUNTY

EXECUTIVE BUDGET

DEPARTMENT BUDGETS

V: DEBT SERVICE FUND

Daniel P. McCoy

County Execu ve

David J. Friedfel




D E B T S E R V I C E F U N D ABOUT THIS FUND The Debt Service Fund or ‘V’ Fund contains the appropriations for Albany County’s outstanding debt. Issuance of Albany County debt is governed by the New York State Constitution and Local Finance Law. Article VIII, Section 4 of the New York State Constitution provides that no County, city, town, village or school district shall contract indebtedness which, including existing indebtedness, shall exceed seven percent (7%) of the five-year average full valuation of taxable real estate therein. The debt limit, based upon that calculation, is $1.7 billion. The County’s net indebtedness as of October 1, 2013 is $211.8 million or 0.9 percent of the five-year average full valuation. The following debt schedule shows in greater detail Albany County’s current debt obligations. All of the County’s current outstanding debt was issued in the form of bonds or bond anticipation notes. Debt service payments in 2014 will increase by approximately $700,000 as compared to 2013. New projects included in the 2014 - 2018 Albany County Capital Plan are not included in the debt service figures found in this section. The County will need to continually revisit and manage the Capital Plan as any project undertaken will have a direct impact on future debt issuance and debt service. Under the property tax cap Legislation, there is not a ‘carve out’ for debt service for municipal governments. As a result, debt service payments and any increase therein must be absorbed within the cap. The County's flexibility to undertake capital projects, in general and defined as part of the 2014-2018 Capital Plan may be limited. This budget proposal allocates funds to pay for debt service associated with approximately $8.1 million in debt that was not issued at the time of publication. This includes $1.3 million in debt for the Civic Center roof, $3.3 million for debt associated with the Hudson River- Black River Regulating District and $3.5 million for the interoperable communications system.

Purchase of a new package that will convert all of the backlit signs above the suites to a full LED loop that would be similar to NBA and NHL facilities. Advertising agreements make up over $1 million per year to the County of Albany. These systems will

enhance the agreements as well as draw NCAA and NBA events to the Times Union Center. This item is scheduled to be bonded in 2014 and installed in 2015. Other comparable arenas have a similar furnishings. This project is ancillary but not necessary to

keep the arena functioning.

Complete remodel of the two main concession stands including new equipment, counters and points of sale with additional cash registers to reduce waiting time for patrons. A belly-up style of ordering and paying for items will replace the old methods used.

The new upgrades will replace the aged equipment and increase the capability to prepare and cook food on the concourse.

Purchase a new exterior LED lighting upgrade that will provide color changing accent lighting on the side of the arena facing the ramps leading to the Empire State Plaza and South Pearl Street. Most major arenas have accent lighting either at the top of their building or accent splash lighting to create at atmosphere that is inviting and colorful. This item is scheduled to be bonded in 2014 and installed in 2015. Other comparable arenas have a similar furnishings. This project is ancillary but not necessary to keep the

began in the Fall of 2002 and is estimated to be complete in 2017. The project has a useful life of 20 to 30 years.

As part of a continuing program to maintain existing facilities, this project consists of interior painting, carpeting, HVAC modifications and the installation of energy management systems at various facilities. The funding associated with this project

also includes fit-up costs to create a Children’s Advocacy Center in the space between Mental Health and NYS-DMV. This project began in 2008 and will be completed in 2015 with a useful life of 8 – 20 years. This project will be financed through bond

issue.

This project would replace fleet pool vehicles and light-duty pickup trucks in accordance with our Department Vehicle Replacement Plan. This plan would replace 11 vehicles per year for the next 5-years and the vehicles being replaced are 10-

years old or older.

The purpose of this project is to construct a new garage at the site where DSS workers currently park. It is anticipated that this garage will be 4 stories high, which would allow all DSS workers to have a parking spot. Additionally, the new garage be used

after hours to help generate revenue for the County based on parking fees collected.

This project would include the change in the size of the rink at the facility as well as the addition of a warming room that will provide a comfortable climate controlled atmosphere for visitors. The hockey rink is currently Olympic-size and it is not

conductive to the needs of local hockey teams. By reducing the size of the rink to the NHL size, the hockey facility will entice local teams to utilize the facility. In addition, the cooling system is obsolete and needs to be upgraded. This project will be started

in 2014.

Hockey Facility

Mercantile Building-HVAC and PlumbingThis project will provide for an upgrade to the plumbing as well as the HVAC systems. The HVAC upgrade will make the building more efficient and the current plumbing is deteriorated causing water damage to the building. This projected will be completed in

2015.


Family Court Update ControlsThe purpose of this project is to upgrade the Family Court HVAC systems. The cost of this project is estimated to be $250,000

and will be completed in 2015.

Energy Upgrade via NYSERDA Flextech ServicesThis project would implement recommendations made pursuant to a New York State Energy and Research Development Authority (NYSERDA) Energy Assessment of the Albany County Correctional Facility. The assessment identified areas of potential energy savings with short term payback periods and incentive payments from NYSERDA offsetting the total cost.


Albany County Correctional Facility Metal Integrity RepairThis project would replace metal bars, walls and ceilings within the facility that have corroded and will soon become a security concern. The corrosion is located in the rear of the inmate housing units near the shower areas. These areas have had near constant exposure to water and moisture. The ten housing units in need of repair date back to the original construction of the facility in 1930-31. It is anticipated that the units would be closed one at a time to facilitate the removal and replacement of the

corroded steel.

Repair epoxy coating lining systems in seven storage tanks to protect concrete from spalling due to acidic conditions. Protection is needed to insure structural integrity of tanks

Construction of disinfection facilities for North & South Plants to disinfect pathogens and enhance the water quality of the Hudson River. This project is in concert with the Albany Pool Combined Sewer Overflow Project and will provide benefit to that

program. the construction of the disinfection facilities is mandated by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) via SPEDES permit modification.

Install a system that recovers waste heat from the North Plant Multiple Heat Incinerators to generate electricity which will reduce consumption from grid by 33% on an annual basis. Total co-generation is predicted to be 3.2 million kwh’s/year with a value of $370,000. Also the system will use a heat exchange to offload heating load with an annual value of $92,000. The equipment of

choice will be an organic ranking cycle system.

delivery. These changes would improve the mission of the home by creating a more welcoming community like setting.

This project will replace the facility's current roof which has experienced deteriorating conditions for a number of years.

The Facility currently experiences frequent leakage throughout the building with major patch repairs over the past few

years proving inadequate. The replacement of the current roof is the only remaining viable solution to this problem.

be recorded in other funds. Other types of funds consist of Debt Service, the County Road Fund, Road Machinery Fund, Sewer

District Fund, Risk Reten on Fund, and Nursing Home Fund.

prescribed by the Governmental Accoun ng Standards Board. GAAP requires fund accoun ng for all government resources and

the modified accrual basis of accoun ng for measuring the financial posi on and changes therein of governmental funds. The

modified accrual basis of accoun ng recognizes revenues when they become measurable and available to finance expenditures,

and expenditures when a liability to pay for goods or services is incurred or a commitment to make aid payments is made, regard‐

each fund is treated as a separate fiscal and accoun ng unit with limita ons on the kinds of disbursements to be made. To comply
