--------

January 23, 2006 The regular meeting of the Board of Legislators was called to order at 2:08 p.m. by Chairman Curtis W. Crandall. Pledge of allegiance to the flag. The invocation was given by Legislator Pullen. Roll Call: 15 Present; 0 Absent. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: The Board meeting minutes of December 27, 2005 and January 3, 2006 were approved on a motion made by Legislator Dibble, seconded by Legislator Truax and carried. PUBLIC HEARING: Chairman Crandall closed the regular meeting to hold a public hearing on Local Law Intro. No. 1-2006, entitled “A Local Law Implementing First Time Homeowner County Property Tax Exemption.” Public comments are summarized below. (A letter was received from Alan Carlin, of Wellsville, prior to the public hearing, in which Mr. Carlin commented against the proposed tax exemption.) Timothy Koegel, of Alfred, commented on the Town of Alfred’s problem of attracting and retaining residents. He noted that both the Town and Village of Alfred, along with the school district, have signed on to offer this tax exemption in the hope of attracting new residents. This exemption is a healthy first step and does not put any burden on the County or towns. Mr. Koegel feels this incentive could add four to five new homes in Alfred per year; and over the

course of the next five years, an additional one million dollars assessed property value could be added to the County, town and school district tax base. Michael Hyde, of Alfred, noted that over the past twenty-five years, the percentage of Alfred University employees living in the Town of Alfred has dropped from 45 percent to 20 percent. At present, 35 to 55 people are typically hired by the University per year and virtually no one chooses to live in Alfred; most locate in Hornell, stating that it is cheaper to live there. Alfred University is in favor of the proposed legislation as an incentive to draw new residents to the Town of Alfred, adding to the property tax base; and these new residents would be purchasing locally as well, adding to sales tax revenue.

17


As there were no further comments, the public hearing was declared closed. Chairman Crandall opened a public hearing regarding “The Modification and Continuation of Agricultural District Number Two Created within the Towns of Allen, Amity, Andover, Angelica, Belfast, Birdsall, Clarksville, Cuba, Friendship, Scio, Ward, West Almond, Wellsville, and Wirt.” There being no one desiring to

speak, the public hearing was declared closed and the Board reconvened in regular session. PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR: Chairman Crandall granted privilege of the floor to County Historian Craig Braack for his “Bicentennial Minute.” This feature was started about two months ago to highlight historical events of interest leading up to the celebration (to be held this summer) of the establishment of Allegany County on April 7, 1806. Mr. Braack distributed a short quiz on County facts and a State map with a “Y” shaped route marked on it, explained in his narrative. Just as George Washington is known as the father of our Country, and Philip Church as the father of Allegany County, John Sullivan could be acknowledged as the father of the Genesee Valley. One of President George Washington’s first orders as Commander-in-Chief was for Generals Sullivan and Clinton to take contingents of approximately 5,000 men each and open the Southwestern New York/Genesee Valley area to settlers, marking the first time the government sanctioned genocide. The army, under the command of Generals Sullivan and Clinton, traveled to present-day Watkins Glen, then north to Canandaigua, and pushed as far west as Little Bears Town, near Geneseo. They destroyed all Indian homes and crops as they

progressed. August 29, 1779 saw the Indians’ last stand in Newtown, about four miles east of Elmira, and most of September and October was spent opening the valley to exploration (and exploitation). The net result of this military effort was the permanent loss of power and influence the Indians had over their former lands. Privilege of the floor was granted to Donald Rychnowski, Executive Director for Southern Tier West Regional Planning and Development Board, for a presentation on past and present programs the agency has been involved in. The Board was established as an economic development entity in 1969 between the counties of Chautauqua, Allegany, and Cattaraugus and the Seneca Nation of Indians. Over the years, the agency has been responsible for bringing in over $77 million in Federal funds and $52 million from the Appalachian Regional Commission. Programs highlighted were: Local Government (training and technical assistance); Internet-Based Information; Transportation (I-86 Corridor and Southern Tier

Extension Railroad line); Economic Development (Entrepreneurship Development and Wireless Broadband Access Feasibility Study); Environment and Natural Resources programs; and Funding Assistance (coordination of funding from the Appalachian Regional Commission and the Economic Development Administration). Ernest Ramsey, Allegany County Farm Bureau President, was granted privilege of the floor to present information on the Farm Bureau, a non-governmental, non-partisan organization established to enhance and preserve agriculture and the rural way of life. The Farm Bureau promotes legislation in support of its goals, and is ranked in the top fifteen most influential organizations, with four full-time lobbyists. Among the local issues they are currently working on are: establishment of an installment plan for payment of property taxes; refurbishment of the SUNY Alfred farm facilities;

18


protection for farmers from stringent EPA laws; and encouragement of support for the future of agriculture in Allegany County. Chairman Crandall took the floor to read a prepared statement from the Board of Legislators. On January 22, 2006, the local union workforce of Dresser-Rand in Wellsville voted on a proposal negotiated though their negotiating team and the company many months prior to the expiration of their current contract. The Board of Legislators expressed gratitude for the sacrifices the members of this union have made to help keep Dresser-Rand in our County. There are other details being worked out to secure the future of this company in Allegany County. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS, COMMUNICATIONS, REPORTS, ETC.: 1. Placed on each legislator’s desk were copies of the Board meeting minutes of January 9, 2006 for review. 2. Also placed on each legislator’s desk was a copy of the Report of Intrafund Transfers approved by the County Administrator for the month of December 2005. 3. Correspondence was received from the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets stating that they have reviewed and approved Allegany County’s Agricultural and Farmland Protection Plan (adopted by the County Legislature on July 25, 2005). 4. A reminder was announced for a special meeting of the Board of Legislators on January 24 from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. at the Crossroads Commerce and Conference Center.

APPOINTMENTS: The Clerk of the Board announced that Chairman Crandall has appointed Brent L. Reynolds, Chairman of the Planning and Development Committee, as a member of the Crossroads Development Advisory Committee, to serve at his pleasure. Chairman Crandall has appointed Kimberley Toot of Wellsville, New York and William M. Hall of Alfred, New York as designated representatives of the Allegany County Board of Legislators on the ACCORD Board of Directors, to serve at his pleasure. Chairman Crandall has reappointed Thomas Hayden of Wellsville, New York and Wendall Brown of Scio, New York and appointed Robert Ellis of Belmont, New York as members of the Allegany County

Planning Board, effective immediately, for a three-year term expiring December 31, 2008. These appointments are subject to confirmation by the Board of Legislators. Chairman Crandall has appointed Kathleen Hill, of Little Genesee, as a member of the Allegany County Planning Board, effective immediately, for the remainder of Thomas Windus’ three-year term expiring December 31, 2007.

Mr. Braack spoke about a year in our history – 1816, the year without a summer. This was the year when Mt. Tamburo in the Indonesia area erupted, releasing so much ash that the entire globe was encompassed in a blanket of ash which restricted sunlight for months. Approximately 1,000 people lived in Allegany County at the time. Spring came late, there was frost into May and June, and snow in July. There were no crops harvested that year. Some people died of starvation and many moved back East where there were established markets. The entire world was affected; over 200,000 people died in Europe. Near Lake Geneva in Switzerland, Lord Byron and Mr. and Mrs. Percy Shelley wrote ghost stories to pass the time during these dark days. Mary Shelley went on to complete and publish her work, the world-renowned “Frankenstein.” Chairman Crandall also granted privilege of the floor to David Roeske, Public Works Superintendent, for the presentation of the National Timber Bridge Competition Award.

AMENDMENT OF RESOLUTION NO. 22-86, AS AMENDED, ENTITLED “ESTABLISHING STANDARDS OF PAYMENT FOR CARE PROVIDED FOSTER CHILDREN

BY FAMILY BOARDING HOMES” TO INCREASE FOSTER CARE RATES


RESOLVED: 1. That Section 1. of Resolution No. 22-86, as last amended by Resolution No. 135-1994, is amended to read as follows:

1. That the daily rate to be paid by the Allegany County Department of Social Services for care provided foster children by family boarding homes shall be as follows: Current rates Pre-Training Post-Training 0-5 years $8.22 per day $12.87 per day $14.37 per day 6-11 years $9.86 per day $15.79 per day $17.29 per day 12+ years $11.51 per day $18.52 per day $20.02 per day

2. This resolution shall be effective as of January 1, 2006.

Moved by: Mr. Truax Adopted: Roll Call Seconded by: Mr. Fanton 15 Ayes, 0 Noes, 0 Absent

(Memo: The increase in foster care rates approved by Resolution No. 62-06 was requested due to rates not having been adjusted since

1994. There are several levels of care for foster children: family foster care, therapeutic foster care, group homes, and child care institutions. Family foster care is, by far, the least costly. Therapeutic care, the next level, costs $33 to $35 per day. Of the children currently in care, 16 of 87 are in family foster care. If more children were in family foster care, the County would realize a savings in the cost of care. Having a more reasonable yet competitive rate will hopefully promote better recruitment and retention of our foster homes. The fiscal impact of the increased rates is $18,575 per year local share, which has already been budgeted for 2006.)

PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR:

Chairman Crandall took the floor to present a certificate to

the March 2006 Employee of the Month, Miriam Gleason, of the

Department of Social Services, in recognition of her hard work and

dedication to the County.

Chairman Crandall granted privilege of the floor to Clark and

Lori Brown, for the presentation of two military flags sent back

from Iraq by the Clarks’ son, Brandon. Airman First Class Brandon

L. Brown, of the 332nd Security Forces serving at Balad Air Force

Base in Irag, had the opportunity to obtain the flags, both of which

were flown over Iraq during missions in support of Operation Iraqi

Freedom, as special thank-yous for the support given him and his

fellow service men and women. The flag presented to Allegany County

was received by Legislative Board Chairman Curtis Crandall, Sheriff

Randal Belmont, and Veterans’ Service Agency Director Scott

Spillane. The second flag was presented to the Blue Star Families

of Allegany County and accepted by representatives Darlene Garfield,

Joyce Bledsoe, and Carol Mohilewsky. Chairman Crandall thanked the

58


Brown family and noted the County’s deep appreciation of all men and

women currently serving in the armed forces.

County Historian Craig Braack presented his “Bicentennial

Minute” to highlight a piece of history in anticipation of the

County’s upcoming Bicentennial celebration this spring. Mr. Braack

distributed copies of a letter written by Frederick Douglas

following his anti-slavery lecture tour of Allegany County in 1851.

Just as the words “zoning” or “abortion” evoke strong feelings today

with people not wanting to be told what to do with their property,

speaking out for or against slavery one hundred fifty years ago with

the impending Civil War also brought on extremely strong emotions.

The letter depicted that great moments in history occurred right

here in our County and weren’t confined just to the larger cities in

the East. Allegany County was split over the issue of slavery, with

the Seventh Day Baptist Church making a stand against it. There

were many underground railroad “stations” throughout the County.

Privilege of the floor was granted to Supervising Public Health

Educator Lori Ballengee and Public Health Director Dr. Gary Ogden to

address Allegany County’s Community Health Assessment. Ms.

Ballengee presented information on the County’s demographics,

including health indicators, and noted the conclusions arrived at by

the Department of Health following nearly two years of study and

assessment. Focus areas chosen to be addressed during the period of

2005-2010 are: Cancer, Lifestyle Choices, Sexual Activity Among

Teens, Injury Control, Emerging Pathogens/Diseases, Dental Health,

and Professional Recruitment.

Representatives were present from the offices of the County

Attorney, County Clerk, Probation, Public Works, Cornell Cooperative

Extension, Human Resources, and Sheriff, to answer any questions

regarding their 2005 Annual Reports.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS, COMMUNICATIONS, REPORTS, ETC.:

1. Placed on each legislator’s desk were copies of the Board

meeting minutes of February 13, 2006 for review.

March 13, 2006 The regular meeting of the Board of Legislators was called to order at 2:00 p.m. by Chairman Curtis W. Crandall. Pledge of allegiance to the flag. The invocation was given by Legislator Pullen. Roll Call: 13 Present; 2 Absent (Legislators Russo and Truax). APPROVAL OF MINUTES: The Board meeting minutes of February 13, 2006 were approved on a motion made by Legislator Hall, seconded by Legislator Dibble and carried. PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR: Chairman Crandall granted privilege of the floor to County Historian Craig Braack for his “Bicentennial Minute.” Angelica was the site of the first County Seat when the County was established in 1807. In 1831, the County created the County Nursing Home, Farm and Poor House (Alms House) near Angelica on County Road 2. In those days, it was one of the worst things to be considered “on the County” or receiving aid from the County. The nursing home was used until 1960. Social Services and the Historian were housed there until 1976. In 1975 or 76, the County dedicated the cemetery, the Potters Field, located east of the County buildings. The grounds are maintained by the County Department of Public Works. The nearly 300 numbered marble markers were arranged in two monument areas with a plaque designed by former County Historian William Greene that

reads: “Potters Field, Begun 1831, Records Burned 1923. Here lie nearly 300 citizens of this County, unable to share fully of her bounty, in numbered graves beneath the sod, with their spirits raised up to God.” All records linking names with the numbered markers were destroyed when the County Home Administration Building burned in March 1923. Privilege of the floor was granted to Tourism Specialist Jesse Case for presentation of the 2006 Allegany County Travel Guide. Mr. Case noted that 125,000 copies are printed and distributed throughout New York and northern Pennsylvania. This year’s guide features the Bicentennial theme, with origins for the County’s towns included. Two additional publications were mentioned: “Plenty” magazine, December/January 2006 issue, and “New York Outdoor News”, both of which include articles about Allegany County as a winter recreation and trout fishing tourist destination.

Chairman Crandall granted privilege of the floor to Shawnee Wright, Drug Free Communities Coordinator with Partners for Prevention in Allegany County. Ms. Wright updated the Board on the group’s progress on formulating their strategic plan for the next five years based on student surveys and building membership, which has tripled since her last appearance before the Board. She announced a “Town Hall” meeting for parents, students, and the public to be held on March 28, 7:00 p.m., at the Wellsville Elementary School, with a focus on underage drinking prevention. Madeleine Gasdik, representing the Allegany County Chapter of the American Red Cross, was granted privilege of the floor. March is designated as American Red Cross Month, and was first recognized as such in 1943 by then President Roosevelt. This year marks the 125

th anniversary of the first American Red Cross. Ms. Gasdik noted

the unprecedented challenges presented in 2005 with the tsunami in

69


the eastern hemisphere, hurricanes in the southeastern United States, and the earthquake in Pakistan. Locally, the Allegany County Chapter responded to local emergencies, assisted military families, and offered training in lifesaving skills. Ms. Gasdik encouraged continued support to ensure that the Red Cross remains vital, ready to help prevent, prepare for, and respond to the unknown challenges that lie ahead. Representatives were present from the Office for the Aging, Emergency Services, Board of Elections, Health Department, Coroners, Community Services, Real Property Tax Service Agency, and Fire Service, to answer any questions regarding their 2005 Annual Reports. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS, COMMUNICATIONS, REPORTS, ETC.: 1. Copies of Resolution No. 105-92 (County Procurement Policies and Procedures) were distributed at the last Board meeting. A motion was made by Legislator Hopkins, seconded by Legislator Kruger and carried to refer Resolution No. 105-92 to the Budget Committee for review. 2.

March 27, 2006 The regular meeting of the Board of Legislators was called to order at 2:00 p.m. by Chairman Curtis W. Crandall. Pledge of allegiance to the flag. The invocation was given by Legislator Reynolds. Sympathies were offered for Assistant County Attorney Leslie Haggstrom and her family, as they cope with the death of her son, Carl. Roll Call: 15 Present; 0 Absent. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: The Board meeting minutes of February 27 and March 13, 2006 were approved on a motion made by Legislator Dibble, seconded by Legislator Fanton and carried. PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR: Chairman Crandall granted privilege of the floor to County Historian Craig Braack for his “Bicentennial Minute.” One of the County’s best-kept secrets is the Allegany County Vietnam War Veterans’ Memorial in the front lawn of the County Courthouse. The

memorial consists of three granite sections. The middle section was designed by retired art teacher Thomas O’Grady and is engraved with the names of ten Allegany County military fatalities. The longest horizontal section includes the names of County veterans who survived the war but later died due to war related problems. Five new names have been added since 1986. A listing of the primary donors for the memorial is engraved on the back of the middle section. Although there are numerous Vietnam veterans’ memorials around the country, Allegany County’s is unique in that a smaller panel honors the missing pilot of a downed aircraft. (Recently the plane was located and Navy CDR Donald Thompson was interred at Arlington National Cemetery.) The memorial was dedicated on November 1, 1986, with approximately 800 people in attendance, including local and state officials. It was a spectacular service ending with a rendition of taps performed by two strategically placed buglers from the Scio School Marching Band, followed by a fly-over of Air Force fighter jets.

Chairman Crandall offered a reminder of the Bicentennial Celebration on April 7 in the Courthouse Lobby beginning at 11:30 a.m. Birthday cake will be served and the Bicentennial Bell will be rung 200 times.

Privilege of the floor was granted to Judy Hopkins, representing the Business Education Community Coalition (BECC), to announce the Fifth Annual J. Dennis Kirst Career Awareness Day to be held at the Cuba-Rushford High School on April 5, 2006. The event was started in 2002 in the Office of Development by J. Dennis Kirst, retired teacher and school superintendent, for the purpose of bringing students and the local business community together to

73


showcase area career opportunities. This year’s event will take place from Noon to 2:00 p.m. for area tenth and eleventh grade students, and 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. for the general public. Displays will represent a wide cross-section of area businesses and career fields. There will also be a County display to highlight career choices in the elected official or governmental field, and legislators are invited to participate. Chairman Crandall granted privilege of the floor to Office of Emergency Services Director John Tucker for an update on State funding cuts to WREMS (Western Regional Emergency Medical System). WREMS provides deliverables, including protocols and Pre-Hospital Care Report (PCR) forms, to the regional council for use by volunteer ambulance corps. Mr. Tucker stated that funding has not actually been cut, but the State had some administrative and auditing concerns, and funding will be held up during the auditing process. Services will not be jeopardized, as the local Office of Emergency Services will communicate directly with the State in the interim. Representatives were present from the offices of Employment and Training, Veterans’ Service Agency, Youth Bureau, STOP DWI Program, District Attorney, Public Defender, and Workers’ Compensation, to answer any questions regarding their 2005 Annual Reports.

Moved by: Mr. Reynolds Adopted: Roll Call Seconded by: Mr. Fanton 15 Ayes, 0 Noes, 0 Absent AUDITS: A motion was made by Legislator Truax, seconded by Legislator Kruger and carried, that the audits be acted upon collectively and by totals.

be approved for payment as recommended by the County Administrator. (Allegany County’s Local Dollar Share of the NYS Medicaid Program paid year-to-date is $1,997,580.) COMMENTS: Legislator Ungermann read a prepared statement regarding the County’s financial situation and suggested that “employee benefits” was an area where cost savings could be realized. Also addressed were employee leave time, holidays, vacation and sick leave sell backs, longevity, and retirement. The employees at Dresser in Wellsville, General Motors, Erie County, and countless other businesses have had to face major changes. Mr. Ungermann stated this government has to change as well. (A copy of the full statement is included in the March 27, 2006 Board folder.) Legislator McCormick announced the Andover Maple Festival and Sportsmen’s Show, sponsored by the Village and Town of Andover and the Andover Lions Club, to be held on April 1 and 2 at the Andover School. Legislator Pullen noted a recent Buffalo News article which mentions Allegany County in a disparaging light. Our area’s economy was termed “devastated.” Most of Appalachia is doing better, while the thirteen counties in the Southern Tier of New York included in Appalachia (of which Allegany County is one) are not. If Allegany County were situated in West Virginia, the heartland of Appalachia, its per capita personal income of $19,925 would rank it 35

th among

that state’s 55 counties. A card was circulated announcing the 100

th birthday open house

on April 15 for Marie Baker Sherman, mother of the late Legislator

Edgar Sherman. Mrs. Sherman participated in one of Edgar Sherman’s Chairman of the Board swearing-in ceremonies. The meeting was adjourned on a motion made by Legislator Pullen, seconded by Legislator Ungermann and carried.

Mr. Braack developed and distributed a challenging quiz on the County based on its physical characteristics. The new bicentennial edition of the County map is available from the Department of Public Works which includes designations of historical points of interest. There is a lot of wonderful history located within our borders that is often taken for granted.

It was discovered to have been cast in Andover. Privilege of the floor was granted to Commissioner of Social Services Patricia Schmelzer, who spoke on Child Abuse Prevention Month.

April 24, 2006

The regular meeting of the Board of Legislators was called to order at 2:00 p.m. by Chairman Curtis W. Crandall. Pledge of allegiance to the flag. The invocation was given by Legislator Pullen. Roll Call: 14 Present; 1 Absent (Legislator Reynolds). APPROVAL OF MINUTES: The Board meeting minutes of April 10, 2006 were approved on a motion made by Legislator Kruger, seconded by Legislator Truax and carried. PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR: Chairman Crandall granted privilege of the floor to County Historian Craig Braack for his “Bicentennial Minute.” Good Friday, April 14, 1865, saw the Nation celebrating the ending of the Civil War a few days earlier. The date is also notorious as the day President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, precipitating a great outpouring of grief. Lincoln was one of the most honored of the many people to have their portraits appear on the United States postage stamp, with only George Washington appearing more than Lincoln’s fifteen times. Numerous streets, villages, and schools were also named after Lincoln. In 1854, a bill was introduced in the New York State Assembly to create a new county comprised of the eastern portion of Allegany County and the western portion of Steuben County. The rationale was that the towns of Burns, Almond,

85


and Alfred were situated in the Canisteo River watershed. This elevation, along with the new Erie Railroad, made it easier for those residents to travel to Steuben’s county seat, rather than Angelica, then our county seat. The bill did not pass, but the issue was resurrected in 1888, at which time the remaining towns in Allegany County voiced such strong opposition, that the concept was dropped. The name for the proposed new county was Lincoln County. Representatives were present from the offices of Social Services, Development, Industrial Development Agency, Planning Board, Tourism, and County Administrator, to answer any questions regarding their 2005 Annual Reports. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS, COMMUNICATIONS, REPORTS, ETC.: 1. Placed on each legislator’s desk was an invitation to the annual Fair Board dinner on May 9. 2. Correspondence was received from Leslie Haggstrom thanking the Board for their donation to the Angelica Free Library in memory of her son, Carl. 3. A media release was received from Southern Tier West Regional Planning and Development Board summarizing highlights of their April board meeting. PROCLAMATION: Chairman Crandall proclaimed the week of May 7 to 13, 2006 as Armed Forces Week in Allegany County to pay tribute to the brave men and women of the Armed Forces who have served, and are still serving proudly, to protect and defend the United States of America. The

first Armed Forces Day was established by President Harry S. Truman on August 31, 1949, and this year marks the 46

th annual observance of

Western New York Armed Forces Week. RESOLUTIONS: Resolution Intro. No. 102-06 (Approval and Adoption of Allegany County Vehicle Usage Policy) was TABLED and referred back to the Ways and Means Committee following a motion made by Legislator Ungermann, seconded by Legislator Kruger and carried (Opposed: Legislator Hall). Discussion included the exemptions noted in Resolution No. 272-05 referred to in the policy, with opinions voiced that the exemptions are too numerous and the wording is vague. Prior to the motion to table the resolution, a motion was made by Legislator Kruger to enter executive session and subsequently withdrawn.

REQUESTING NEW YORK STATE LEGISLATURE TO HOLD MUNICIPALITIES HARMLESS FROM ANY COSTS RESULTING FROM

ADOPTION OF LEGISLATION ENACTING REQUIREMENTS FOR STORAGE, HANDLING AND APPLICATION OF DE-ICING COMPOUNDS


WHEREAS, legislation has been introduced in the New York State Senate (S.4473-A) and New York State Assembly (A.2831-A) creating a new Title 6 within Article 17 of the Environmental Conservation Law, and

87


compounds within two years of the effective date of the legislation, and WHEREAS, without State funding to assist municipalities in the construction of such facilities, the burden of paying for the construction will be placed on the taxpayers of the municipalities of this State and represent another unfunded State mandate, now, therefore, be it RESOLVED: 1. This Board requests that if the New York State Legislature enacts Senate Bill No. 4473-A (Assembly Bill No. 2831-A) that the State Legislature appropriate sufficient funds to reimburse or provide construction funds to municipalities to cover the costs of constructing storage facilities which will comply with the requirements of the legislation, thereby holding the taxpayers of municipalities in the State harmless from the burden of the costs of constructing the mandated storage facilities. 2. That the Clerk of this Board is directed to forward certified copies of this resolution to Governor George Pataki, Senator Catharine M. Young, members of the Assembly Daniel Burling and Joseph Giglio, the Speaker of the Assembly and the Majority and Minority Leaders of the New York State Senate and Assembly.

Mr. Braack noted that the removal of one of the large trees in the front lawn of the courthouse late last month prompted his choice of topics for this Bicentennial Minute. The front lawn of the County Courthouse and Office Building complex is graced by a young maple on one side and an older maple on the other, both with small plaques bearing wording with profound meaning. The first honors “Sheriff F. Vanama Jones for service to Allegany County 1936 to 1968.” Sheriff Jones served the County well during his tenure, but died tragically in a motorcycle accident. The second plaque honors “Supervisor Benson L. Smith for service to Allegany County 1950 to 1969.” Mr. Smith served as Supervisor for the Town of Cuba for many years, and left his mark on the County as well. One of the duties of a historian is to analyze the past in

preparation for the future. A challenge for all of us: will there be a tree planted someplace in our memory or honor? Wayne West was granted privilege of the floor to speak out against the assessment of standing timber for real property tax purposes. Mr. West owns 180 acres of land in Bolivar and is also the president of Heritage Cutlery. He has a strong interest in the area. Timber is a precious area resource, not only for the monetary value, but also for enjoyment, recreation, and wildlife habitat. Mr. West stated that people who come in and cut timber for profit, quite often clear-cut the area with no thought to disease control, future production, or erosion, and pointed to the hillside near Alma Pond on County Road 38 as an example. He said that he will not pay taxes on standing timber, but would rather clear-cut his property.

Joseph Schueckler, Cornell Cooperative Extension Master Forest Owner, also spoke against the assessment of privately owned standing timber for the purpose of levying taxes. He has maintained his own forest property for the past 43 years, and has had intensive forest management training at Cornell University’s Arnot Forest. Mr. Schueckler spoke about forest management goals, sustainable timber production, erosion control, water and air purification, recreation, aesthetics, and wildlife habitat, illustrating the value of private forests to the general public. This issue of assessing standing timber will have long-lasting effects on not only the environment, but the very lives of this State’s citizens. If privately owned timber is assessed for tax purposes, the increased cost of owning the property may cause wide-spread clear-cutting of private forests and result in the loss of all the things listed above. Its impact will also be felt in the loss of family farms, destabilization of the timber industry (first by flooding the market with more timber than it can handle and later by not having any timber to buy), and increased cost of wildlife management. Mr. Schueckler strongly supports proposed legislation that will exempt privately owned standing timber from real property tax assessment and urged the Board to send a resolution to Albany in support of Senate Bill S.6818 and Assembly Bill A. 6638. Mary Marvin, of Bolivar, addressed the Board as a forest land owner who is in the process of selling her property. She enlisted the services of Master Forest Owner Joseph Schueckler to assess the market value of her trees, and was able to use that information as a selling point to prospective buyers. If the standing timber were to be taxed, it would be more of a liability to the sale than an advantage. Not only do the forests have the obvious monetary value for the timber, but could be viewed as a source of future financial security (a nest-egg), and to her, offer enjoyment and contentment.

Chairman Crandall pointed out that currently no assessors in the County are assessing standing timber. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS, COMMUNICATIONS, REPORTS, ETC.: 1. Placed on each legislator’s desk was a copy of the Report of Tax Bill Corrections approved by the County Administrator for the month of April 2006. 2.

value and accomplishments of emergency medical services providers.

CREATING ONE POSITION OF THIRD ASSISTANT COUNTY ATTORNEY IN COUNTY ATTORNEY’S OFFICE; FIXING SALARY;

AMENDING NON-UNIT SALARY PLAN AND MAKING BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS

Offered by: Ways and Means Committees RESOLVED: 1. That one position of Third Assistant County Attorney is created in the County Attorney’s Office and the annual salary of such position is fixed at $45,000.

No. A09.2801.24 is increased by the amount of $33,850. 4. This resolution shall take effect on June 13, 2006. Moved by: Mr. Hall Adopted: Roll Call Seconded by: Mr. Truax 14 Ayes, 1 No, 0 Absent Voting No: Kruger (Memo: The number of Family Court matters being handled by the County Attorney’s Office has increased 326 percent over the past six years. The increase has mainly been due to the number of child abuse, neglect, and termination of parental rights proceedings. Family Court matters involving children have also become much more complex and time-consuming. The efficient handling of cases involving children in the custody of the Department of Social Services throughout the court process and precise drafting of court orders have a direct impact on the ability of the Department to secure reimbursement from the Federal and State governments to offset the cost of care for a foster child. This additional attorney is essential to insure that matters are processed in accordance with Federal and State requirements and thereby qualify for Title IV-E reimbursement. The new position created by Resolution No. 130-06 will be dedicated solely to Social Services’ work. As is currently the practice, the services of the attorney

will be billed at an hourly rate to the Department of Social Services. The revenue generated will more than offset the salary and fringe benefits of the position. The Department of Social Services will then be able to submit the fees paid to the Federal and State governments for reimbursement.)

APPROVAL OF ALLEGANY COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR YOUTH SERVICES

Offered by: Public Safety and Ways and Means Committees RESOLVED: 1. That the Plan titled “Allegany County Comprehensive Plan for Youth Services” – July 1, 2005 to December 31, 2006, is approved. Moved by: Mr. Dibble Adopted: Roll Call Seconded by: Mr. Truax 15 Ayes, 0 Noes, 0 Absent AUDITS: A motion was made by Legislator Truax, seconded by Legislator Pullen and carried, that the audits be acted upon collectively and by totals.

(Allegany County’s Local Dollar Share of the NYS Medicaid Program paid year-to-date is $3,885,415.) The meeting was adjourned on a motion made by Legislator Truax, seconded by Legislator Fanton and carried.

--------

June 26, 2006 The regular meeting of the Board of Legislators was called to order at 2:00 p.m. by Chairman Curtis W. Crandall. Pledge of allegiance to the flag. The invocation was given by Legislator Pullen. Roll Call: 14 Present; 1 Absent (Russo). APPROVAL OF MINUTES: The Board meeting minutes of June 12, 2006 were approved on a

motion made by Legislator Dibble, seconded by Legislator Truax and carried. PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR: Chairman Crandall took the floor to present a certificate to the July 2006 Employee of the Month, Julie Hoshal, of the Human Resources/Civil Service Department, in recognition of her hard work and dedication to the County. Chairman Crandall recognized the Bolivar-Richburg Wolverines Softball Team for their outstanding 2006 season. Most of the team members were present to accept certificates of achievement. The titles they won were Allegany County Division I, Expressway Conference Blue Division, Section V Class C, Section V Class C/CC Playoff Champion, Far West Region Champion (Section V vs Section

125


VI), New York State Class C Champion, and the NYS Final Four Team Sportsmanship Award. The team ended their season with a 31-0 record, which is a Section V record. Chairman Crandall granted privilege of the floor to Sheriff Randal Belmont, Schuyler County Sheriff William Yessman, Jr., and Michael Maloney, former Schuyler County Sheriff, to address questions related to legalities of Allegany County Sheriff personnel providing assistance for racing events held at Watkins Glen. Sheriff Yessman stated that he does not have adequate personnel or vehicles to cover major events held at the raceway, such as Nascar in August and Indi-qualifier in June, so he has to declare a limited state of emergency to allow requests for mutual aid. Seventeen different agencies help with the Nascar event, the largest single-day sporting event in New York State. Sheriff Yessman distributed copies of Municipal Law Section 209-f that addresses declaration of state of emergency and mutual aid; a sample intermunicipal agreement that covers responsibilities, payment of personnel, reimbursement for vehicle usage and fuel, liability insurance, and workers’ compensation; and an oath of office for Emergency Special Deputy Sheriff which each officer would sign. Sheriff Yessman responded to a recent newspaper article by stating that his office has always needed this mutual aid assistance, and the officers being sent have always acted professionally in fulfilling their duties. Legislator Kruger commented that he has no problem with deputies going, but he doesn’t see the agreement as being intermunicipal, which denotes a sharing of duties, as there is no benefit to Allegany County taxpayers. Mr. Kruger also questioned County vehicles being used; he would rather the deputies take their own vehicles. The County isn’t financially able to help to that extent. Sheriff Yessman responded that Schuyler County would

provide assistance to Allegany County if requested. He also stated that he has a limited number of cars available for the 250 officers coming in, so he needs the vehicles if available. Former Schuyler County Sheriff Maloney noted that the Watkins Glen Raceway could not conduct these events without the support of area agencies. The events have a tremendous economic impact on the entire surrounding area, especially for motels. Mr. Maloney listed major events across the state over the past several years in which Schuyler County Sheriff Deputies have responded, and there may come a time when Allegany County needs help. Legislator Ungermann asked about payment of deputies. Schuyler County pays the deputies and distributes 1099 forms, per the State Comptroller and Attorney General. Watkins Glen Raceway Corporation makes a donation to Schuyler County to offset these expenses. Mr. Ungermann questioned the back filling of the deputies’ time off and

whether it would create an over-time situation if someone put in for sick time. Sheriff Yessman responded that the Sheriff in each County would know who is working and if someone put in for sick time, they would probably be disciplined. Chairman Crandall granted privilege of the floor to Lee Gridley, representing the Allegany County Agricultural Society and its President, Martha Roberts, for presentation of the 2006 Fair Book and schedule. In keeping with the County’s bicentennial theme, the cover features an 1879 photo of the fairgrounds and a picture of the bicentennial bell is included within. The late New York State Senator Patricia McGee is memorialized in the front of the book. Changes to the fairgrounds include a new exit behind the horse corral to relieve congestion around the race track, and a special room in the firemen’s building to teach safety to children. The “big-name” entertainment for Friday night is Aaron Tippin.

st Annual Wellsville Balloon

Rally, to be held July 21 through 23. This year’s poster depicts downtown Wellsville Main Street with several of the better-known hot air balloons overhead. Currently there are 49 balloons signed up to take part, the largest number in Rally history. Balloon launches are scheduled for Friday, July 21 at 6:00 p.m., Saturday, July 22 at

6:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., and Sunday, July 23 at 6:00 a.m. Also on the schedule for July 22 is a free-fall sky diving demonstration at 6:00 p.m., stage show at 8:30 p.m., and fireworks at 9:30 p.m. The parade will take place on Saturday, July 15. Privilege of the floor was granted to Shawnee Wright, Drug Free Communities Coordinator, for an update and report on Partners for Prevention Strategic Planning. Following surveys completed over the past several years, the coalition identified primary risk factors demonstrated to increase or decrease the likelihood of substance abuse. Groups were formed representing the health, public safety, education, business, faith, and youth sectors, and are in the process of developing a strategic plan to determine risks not currently being effectively addressed. Brochures were distributed, and Ms. Wright noted that the coalition will have a booth at the Allegany County Fair. Social Services Commissioner Patricia Schmelzer was granted privilege of the floor to announce information related to Allegany County’s final Medicaid cap amount. Due to extensive efforts by NYSAC and other agencies, Chapter 58 of the Laws of 2005 was enacted to establish a cap on local share Medicaid payments. Allegany County’s weekly share was estimated for January 2006 at $166,465 and adjusted for April 2006 at $172,137. The final local share caps have now been calculated by the State, and effective July 1, the County’s weekly payment will be $163,724. Since the final cap is lower than the estimated amount, the County will receive a reconciliation payment for the period 01/01 to 06/30/06 in the amount of $215,138. Ms. Schmelzer noted that although this reimbursement is good news, and Medicaid costs are capped at this time, they may not always be, and we are still spending over $8 million per year.

Offered by: Planning and Development and Ways and Means Committees WHEREAS, the County is desirous of promoting economic

development and tourism in Allegany County and the surrounding

Southern Tier of New York State, and WHEREAS, a review of the State Highway System shows that there is a lack of an East-West State Route and a lack of a North-South State Route through the northeast quadrant of Allegany County, and WHEREAS, the northeast quadrant of Allegany County reflects the absence of adequate highway infrastructure necessary for the health, safety and economic development and growth of Allegany County, and WHEREAS, Allegany County is a very poor County and needs the help of the State to provide transportation routes as most of the roads in the northeast 25 percent of the County are not paved, and WHEREAS, the placement of an East-West route, by extending

State Route 243, would encourage development in this area and would also provide access from Swain to Rushford and Cuba Lake as well as access to the new Economic Development Zone in the Town of Friendship, and WHEREAS, a review of the State Highway System shows that State Route 408 presently exists as a two-lane highway from its intersection with I-390 near Mt. Morris, New York, and thence southerly through Livingston County to Dalton, New York, and WHEREAS, the placement of an extended State Route 408 would

provide a North-South two-lane highway access to the new Economic Development Zone in the Town of Friendship and Village of Cuba, and WHEREAS, the extension of State Route 408 as a two-lane highway southerly from Dalton, New York, through Allegany County to intersect with State Route 19 at Transit Bridge would encourage development along the proposed route and would provide access from

133


the more urban areas north of Livingston County, such as the Interstate 390 Corridor, to Allegany County, and WHEREAS, the extension of State Route 408, to run southerly and southwesterly along existing unimproved town roads and county roads through the hamlet of Aristotle to Transit Bridge, would provide easier access for tourists to visit Allegany County, and WHEREAS, it is understood that such proposed extension of State Route 408 and such proposed extension of State Route 243 are included in the State Department of Transportation’s Long Range Plan, now, therefore, be it RESOLVED: 1. That the Allegany County Board of Legislators hereby

memorializes the New York State Legislature to pass legislation which would require that two corridor studies be done, the first for the extension of State Route 243 from its existing terminus at its intersection with State Route 19, easterly to the Garwood/State Route 70 area and the second for the extension of State Route 408 from its existing terminus in Dalton southerly and then southwesterly through Aristotle to the Transit Bridge/State Route 19/State Route 17 area. 2.

AUDITS: A motion was made by Legislator Truax, seconded by Legislator

Kruger and carried, that the audits be acted upon collectively and by totals. A motion was made by Legislator Truax, seconded by Legislator Pullen and adopted on a roll call vote of 14 Ayes, 0 Noes, 1 Absent, that the audit of claims, totaling $2,733,147.62 including prepaids, be approved for payment as recommended by the County Administrator. (Allegany County’s Local Dollar Share of the NYS Medicaid Program paid year-to-date is $4,565,550.) COMMENTS: Legislator Kruger commented regarding the approval to fill the new Correction Officer positions for the new jail. When the positions were created, he understood the request to fill the positions would be referred to the Board for approval, rather than just the Ways and Means Committee. In the future, he would like to

know ahead of time if an issue will be coming back to the full Board for approval, or if only four people in committee will do what fifteen are being paid to do. Mr. Kruger feels that decisions regarding spending tax dollars should be the responsibility of each Board member. Legislator Ungermann noted that Resolution No. 148-03 covers the procedure to fill positions, including that the Ways and Means Committee does have the final word. He assumed the same thing that Mr. Kruger did, as did Legislator O’Grady, in that the Board would vote for approval of the filling of the Correction Officer positions. Legislator Reynolds stated he doesn’t disagree, and sometimes the committees do have too much power, but the time to deny the

140


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

August 14, 2006 The regular meeting of the Board of Legislators was called to order at 2:00 p.m. by Chairman Curtis W. Crandall. Pledge of allegiance to the flag. The invocation was given by Legislator Pullen. Roll Call: 14 Present; 1 Absent (Truax). APPROVAL OF MINUTES: The Board meeting minutes of July 24, 2006 were approved on a motion made by Legislator Dibble, seconded by Legislator Pullen and carried. PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR: Chairman Crandall granted privilege of the floor to Dr. Gary Ogden, Public Health Director, to speak about the formation of the Allegany County Cancer Services Foundation. This initiative was begun due to the withdrawal of American Cancer Society support for the Relay for Life fundraising efforts in Allegany County. Spear-headed by Lori Ballengee, Health Department employee and cancer

survivor, the Allegany County Cancer Services Foundation was established to provide assistance and support to area cancer patients. All funds raised will stay in the local area. Dr. Ogden urged support for Resolution Intro. No. 168-06, to be considered later in the meeting, which will authorize the Health Department to officially sponsor the “Colors for Life” Cancer Awareness Night as a County function. Privilege of the floor was also granted to Lori Ballengee, Supervising Public Health Educator, who spoke about the Allegany County Cancer Services Foundation. Ms. Ballengee stated she is a breast cancer survivor and was very thankful for the great health insurance, employer support, and family support she had during her screening, diagnosis, and treatment; but also realized there are many cancer patients who do not have that. The Foundation’s goals will focus on prevention, education, and supportive services. One hundred percent of all money raised will be used to help Allegany

County cancer patients and their families with things like gas and phone cards, medical co-pays, and small equipment needed for treatment. They anticipate being able to help in the future with expenses for screenings not covered by insurance. Ms. Ballengee announced the “Colors for Life” Cancer Awareness Night to be held on August 25. On behalf of the entire Board, Majority Leader Brent Reynolds presented the Foundation with a check for $500 (drawn from their discretionary “flower fund”). Chairman Crandall took the floor to present a certificate to the August 2006 Employee of the Month, Marlee Talbett, of the Public Defender’s Office, in recognition of her hard work and dedication to the County.

Moved by: Mr. Truax Adopted: Roll Call Seconded by: Mr. Dibble 14 Ayes, 0 Noes, 1 Absent (Memo: Regarding Resolution No. 179-06, Resolved No. 1: In the fall of 2005, during the 2006 Budget process, the Health Department and Ways & Means Committee agreed that the funding previously used to contract with a hydrologist would be used to further offset the cost of our Public Health Sanitarians’ salaries. In April 2006, the 2006-07 Drinking Water Enhancement Budget was completed by the Deputy Director at which time $10,000 was budgeted for and approved by NYS DOH for a contracted hydrologist. A contract with Steven Woodbridge was signed on May 1, 2006 for said services. The end result to Allegany County is that the Drinking Water

Enhancement Grant with NYS DOH will reimburse the County $10,000 for this contracted individual; however, the $10,000 for the Sanitarians that was placed in personnel services in the 2006 County Budget is no longer available to offset their salary expense. Therefore, the net cost to the County is $6,400 [after General Public Health Work State Aid reimbursement of $3,600, or 36 percent of $10,000]. In reviewing the A4010 cost center, it was noted that insurance costs for 2006 were less than anticipated, resulting in the availability of $10,000 to transfer to A4010.101 to cover the Sanitarians’ salary loss at no additional cost to the County. The transfer referenced in Resolved No. 2 is for a vaccine specific refrigerator for storage of vaccine. The current refrigerator is beyond repair and no longer maintains the necessary temperature. The cost of the new refrigerator will be 100 percent reimbursed through State Aid/Article 6.)

PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR: Chairman Crandall granted privilege of the floor to Sheriff Randal Belmont, who announced that last week the Commission of Correction granted Allegany County permission to house out-of-County inmates at the new jail. Sheriff Belmont stated that expenses for operation were borne solely by the taxpayers in the past, but can now be supplemented by housing-in revenues. Sheriff Belmont also clarified some issues related to expenses. Medical and transportation costs incurred by the out-of-County inmates are the

responsibility of the home County. Additional staff will not be needed for the larger number of inmates because the Commission of Correction’s minimum staffing requirements were based on full capacity of 164. The approximate cost per meal is $1.19, and this cost goes down even more with increased numbers of inmates. Sheriff Belmont noted that no contract is needed with the other counties that we’ll be housing inmates for; it is handled through the State. Chairman Crandall granted privilege of the floor to Robert Christian, Executive Director, Allegany County Area Foundation, who updated the Board on the mission and purpose of the organization. Over the past 23 years, they have grown in assets to over $5 million.

Public Hearing 2007 Allegany County Tentative Budget

November 9, 2006

The public hearing on the Tentative 2007 Allegany County Budget was declared open at 7:00 p.m. by Chairman Curtis W. Crandall. There were 14 legislators present; 1 absent (Truax).

Pledge of allegiance to the flag. Chairman Crandall stated the purpose of the public hearing was to offer the opportunity for public comment on the County budget. The Chairman noted this is one of the best tentative budgets he’s participated in preparing. Not long ago, the County budget reflected double-digit tax rate increases. It took a lot of hard choices to arrive at this point, and Mr. Crandall would eventually like to be able to scale back on some of the measures taken to get here, such as the sales tax increase and other fees. Clerk of the Board Brenda Rigby Riehle read the County Budget Officer’s 2007 Budget Statement: “The Allegany County Tentative Budget for calendar year 2007, which is still subject to change, calls for an increase in the County real property tax rate of 4.15 percent. In July, the Budget staff and Budget Committee were presented with a 2007 budget plan that called for a tax increase of just under 15 percent. This being unacceptable, during August and September individual departmental requests were trimmed by over 2.2 million dollars, rendering the potential tax increase by over 10 percentage points. There is currently a proposal to increase the cost of the transfer station use tags from $60 per year to $72 per year. If this measure is adopted by the Board of Legislators, the anticipated increased revenue of $160,000 will be applied directly to the Tentative Budget resulting in a reduction of the tax increase from 4.15 percent to 3.42 percent. At this level, a property owner in Allegany County with a property assessment of $50,000, which is the average assessment for a residential property within our County,

189


will receive a County property tax bill which is a mere $26 more than their 2006 bill. This calculates to an affordable two dollars and sixteen cents more per month. In closing, I would like to thank Deputy Budget Officer Terri Ross for her invaluable assistance in completing the Tentative Budget. I also wish to publicly thank Ted Hopkins and the members of the Budget Committee for their dedication in presenting a Tentative Budget which is both fiscally balanced and allows for the continuance of efficient service by County government to our residents.” Mr. Margeson explained the procedure for the hearing. The Appropriations section of the budget consists of fifteen major categories, which are read one at a time along with the total for each category. Time for comments is allowed after each total is read. This forum is intended to allow comment on the 2007 Budget; not for a debate of legislative policies which should be taken up with the appropriate representative at another time. Chairman Crandall opened the floor for comment prior to the category-by-category process: Ralph Kerr, Hume, stated he felt chagrinned with the Budget Officer’s comment regarding the tax increase being a mere $26 per year average. Those on Social Security will be receiving a 3.3 percent cost of living increase, and even the mere 4.15 percent tax increase takes their entire Social Security increase. Fourteen percent of County residents are senior citizens and 32 percent are 19 and under, leaving 54 percent of the population to pay the bill. Mr. Kerr requested that the County use a zero percent based budget approach.

The meeting was turned over to County Budget Officer John Margeson who then requested that the Clerk of the Board read each major category of the Budget Appropriations, along with the corresponding total: Total General Government Support - $6,943,616 Kate Hollis, Granger, questioned the decrease in the amount requested for Account A1011.4, County Administrator, Contractual. Margeson - This account covers special projects assigned by the Legislature, including arbitration, outside expertise for arbitration, and in 2005 unexpected expenses for the new Jail construction. Ms. Hollis asked that since the County is now facing a new Courthouse project, if more money should be assigned to that account. The budget should reflect anticipated expenses. Margeson - Probably, but he has tried to make accommodations for unexpected

expenses in the Contingent Account and transfers can be made when needed. It’s hard to predict. Total Education - $2,683,400 Al Carlin, Willing, questioned the Special Education Physically Handicapped Children Account and the number of people being served. Margeson – The account covers the cost to provide mandated educational services for preschool children aged three to five. The County contracts with other agencies to provide these services, i.e. BOCES. The cost per child has increased substantially, although there is some state reimbursement. Public Health Director Gary Ogden noted that the program costs a lot with a relatively small number of students (approximately 140 to 150). The number of providers is small; BOCES is the main one. Rates and provider certification is controlled by the state.

190


Total Public Safety - $6,606,628 Total Health - $7,439,052 Rick Hollis, Granger, asked if $6,000 savings for the County attributed to overnight parking of County vehicles which was reported in a recent newspaper letter to the editor was correct. Margeson – Yes. Mr. Hollis asked if any study was done on loss of productivity. Margeson and Ogden – Analysis was done on gas savings and additional study is ongoing. It appears there are pros and cons, but only six months of data is available. Total Bus Transportation - $672,000 Sharon Collins, Belfast, asked if this account funds the Allegany County Transit (ACT) bus system. Margeson – yes. Total Economic Assistance & Opportunity - $33,206,634 Total Culture and Recreation - $540,532 Sharon Rader, Angelica, questioned the Tourism position that was cut. Margeson – the Tourism Specialist position is a contract position and has never been full-time. Ms. Rader asked if the services will remain the same with just some changes in the position and duties spread to other areas. Margeson – The change will only be in the way of doing business; the County is not going to diminish progress made since the 1990s in promotion of tourism. The current contract establishes certain duties and does not specify any time requirement. The Legislature can change the way of doing business; it may continue to contract for services, or duties may be assigned

to other existing staff. The intent is to continue with at least the same amount of effort devoted to tourism at present. Ms. Rader noted that tourism promotion has been very positive and is concerned that if those in power split the position and take the program away from one central focus, the County’s tourism promotion won’t continue to grow. For example, Angelica’s comprehensive planning efforts are based on the growth of tourism and we need to continue to increase efforts. Multiple staff members taking on these duties may not see the big picture and won’t have the same level of experience. Mark Christensen, Angelica, voiced concern with tourism program changes. He’s not clear on why the contract won’t be renewed, when the Specialist recently received a state award for his work. Mr. Christensen is a business owner who works with tourism businesses and knows how important promotion is. He is concerned the County is going backwards and a new individual won’t have the experience.

Margeson – Is confident the Legislature will not reduce efforts, but may increase tourism promotion, moving forward and accomplishing more. The legislators recognize the value of tourism but also want to address other issues as well, such as comprehensive County planning, and there has been strong public sentiment to acquire the services of a Grants Writer. These other issues haven’t been funded in the past due to budget constraints. We would like to incorporate efforts in all three areas to move forward on tourism promotion, planning, and grants writing. Joel Kassirer, Angelica, questioned the funds for planning and grants writing and whether these areas would be financed by the former tourism budget. Margeson – The tourism budget is made up of “I Love NY” funds as part of the consortium including Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, and Allegany Counties. The Legislature has no intention of jeopardizing those funds. They are looking at a change

191


in some of the personalities and making some additions, and plan to utilize the tourism budget for all three areas. Mr. Kassirer noted he would like to see a steady incline in the tourism program, rather than a “hiccup” and was concerned that businesses and individuals wouldn’t know who to go to for assistance. Margeson – There will be someone to go to. Kassirer – Someone with experience? Margeson – Yes. Rick Hollis, Granger, asked that if the former Tourism Specialist was furnished with a computer and an office, why he was not a County “employee,” as these two criteria are used by the IRS to define “employee.” Margeson – It’s been the policy of the Legislature to contract for those services. Mr. Hollis – Is that the appropriate status? The position should be full-time. Margeson – The County Attorney should probably respond to that question. (Mr. Hollis requested response by County Attorney.) Kate Hollis, Granger, questioned the group of programs under the Youth Program area that were previously funded, but now are not. Margeson – The individual Youth Program line items that include zeros under Department Head Request and Budget Officer Recommendation are actually funded later in 2006 or early 2007. The Youth Bureau Advisory Board is in the process of making funding recommendations; some programs may continue, some will not. The Legislature will vote on a resolution to fund the Youth Programs, which are all state funded, so fiscally it’s a “wash.” Lee James, Cuba, stated she sees the need for planning and grants writing, but questioned if it’s a good idea to take tourism contract money and shift it around, or should those funds be kept intact and add to them? Margeson – The Legislature has not decided on the structure, so he can’t respond. Comments have been heard and

will be taken into account. Ms. James asked if any time frame was set for a decision. Margeson – Probably within the next 60 days. Mark Christensen, Angelica, asked if there was currently no real plan, then, for the tourism, planning, and grants writing issues. Chairman Crandall responded that two-thirds of the Board is new and they ran on a platform for change. This is one of the changes the Board is making and wants to move forward on. They feel the changes are positive and do not want to move backward on the progress made in tourism promotion. The issue has been discussed extensively in planning sessions held at Committee of the Whole meetings. There was concern that if the changes were delayed until after the first of the year, there would be no time to plan and adjust how all three positions would work into the budget. Chairman Crandall made note of a letter he received from the Wellsville Area Chamber of Commerce and a conversation he had with its Executive Director, Steven Havey. Mark Christensen read the letter aloud.

Chairman Crandall reiterated that the Board recognizes the importance of tourism and plans to move forward. Total Home & Community Services - $1,725,227 Total Undistributed - $17,015,663 Rick Hollis, Granger, questioned health care for employees. Margeson and County Treasurer Terri Ross responded that the County has a self-funded health plan and costs are paid from the Risk Retention Health Accounts. Costs amounted to $5.7 million in 2005. Mr. Hollis stated that with a total County budget of $93 million, as of 2007, the costs associated with GASB 45 compliance will have a major impact to taxpayers. Is the County planning to comply, what are the estimated costs, and what will happen if the

192


County does not comply? Ross – The County will comply. Figures will be posted on year-end 2007 financial reports. The County has plans to hire an actuary and she has met with our consultant to send out Requests for Proposals. Ms. Ross stated that GASB 45 does not have to be funded, but has to be posted on the balance sheet, so is a huge liability. Mr. Hollis asked that with $1 billion in liability, is the County thinking about cutting health care coverage for retirees? Margeson – That is a policy question suited for another forum. The Legislature is aware of the gravity of GASB 45. Mr. Hollis questioned the total cost for NYS Retirement. Ross - $1.978 million due in February 2007. Hollis – Where is it budgeted? Ross – In addition to the General Fund, some of the expense is budgeted under the County Road and Road Machinery Funds. Mr. Hollis asked about the savings to be incurred if the bill were to be paid early. Ross – If the cash is available, the bill will be paid early and the County would save one percent. Mr. Hollis pointed out that over the past three years, the County has paid an extra $70,000 that could have been saved if the retirement bill had been paid early, and doesn’t feel the County has budgeted properly. Sharon Collins, Belfast, noted that the County could reduce the budget by approximately one percent ($205,000) by eliminating vacation and sick time sell-backs for managerial and non-union staff, thereby allowing the County to pay the retirement bill early as noted by Mr. Hollis. Has there been discussion on that? Margeson – It hasn’t been discussed. Collins – Will it be? Margeson – Possibly, but the only choice would be to eliminate that benefit for non-unit staff as union employees have contractual terms. Collins – The Legislature has control over the non-unit staff; union members gave something up in order to get the sell-back benefit.

Ralph Kerr, Hume, asked what percentage of the total payroll the retirement bill amounts to for 2006 and 2007. Margeson – That data is available and will be sent to Mr. Kerr. Grand Total General Fund - $76,832,752 Total WIA Grant Fund (Appropriation for the Employment and Training Office) - $1,192,019 Al Carlin, Willing, asked about the number of participants served. Margeson – In 2005, the Employment and Training Center served over 1,800 people through personal or phone contact. Total Risk Retention Fund - $333,500 Total Risk Retention Health Fund - $5,000,000

Sharon Collins, Belfast, asked if this account covers employee medical benefits expense. Margeson – Yes. Ms. Collins – If expenses run over, are they covered by the Contingent Account? Margeson – The Treasurer balances the books at year-end by making transfers between accounts and takes care of overages at that point. Collins – In 2005, actual costs went down? Margeson – Yes. Collins – Is the health insurance contribution being discussed. Margeson – That issue is being studied by an ad hoc committee and a report should be ready by late December. Collins – Would it shave another one-half percent from the budget if a five percent contribution was required for non-unit staff? Margeson – Less. Total County Road Fund - $7,285,347

193


Rick Hollis, Granger, questioned the Fund Balances and the Road Machinery Fund, and what is covered. Public Works Superintendent David Roeske – The Fund is used for County Equipment, Highway Shop, and Repairs. Mr. Hollis asked if $200,000 could be appropriated to other areas of the budget. Margeson – These fund balances are generated over years in Road Machinery. Al Carlin, Willing, referred to the Snow Removal Account and asked how many miles of County highways are taken care of by the County. Margeson – The County tries to contract with the towns. There are 342 total miles of County roads and four towns that do not plow. Mr. Roeske noted that around 50 miles are taken care of by the County. Mr. Hollis noted there was an additional $100 per mile given to the towns for snow removal this season. With costs going up, the towns would appreciate any additional money they can get. What the County doesn’t fund, the towns have to. In Granger, Mr. Hollis figures it costs $36,000 to plow County roads, but they are only reimbursed $24,000 by the County. The town taxpayers have to pick up the other $12,000. If the inequities continue, more towns will refuse to plow County roads. Total Road Machinery Fund - $846,972 Kate Hollis, Granger, questioned the line item under Road Machinery, Equipment, with the Budget Officer Recommendation at $13,750 being so much less than the 2005 Actual at $16,785. Margeson – For the past three years, the County has been purchasing equipment through short-term debt. He does not disagree. The Legislature will decide what will be purchased. Ms. Hollis noted the amount to be paid in interest. Margeson pointed out that if the

$533,000 requested by the department head was put in the budget, we would be looking at another 2.5 percent tax rate increase. Ms. Hollis asked what the term on the borrowing would be. Margeson – Five years with a current interest rate of 4.5 percent for a Bond Anticipation Note (BAN). Total Self-Insurance Fund - $887,730 Margeson – The Workers’ Compensation Fund is self-funded and covers, in addition to the County, the towns, villages, and fire and rescue departments. Rick Hollis, Granger, noted that Workers’ Compensation costs for the towns are added to their tax warrants, but asked if they could be billed directly. In his town, costs have increased ten percent per year. They’ve had only four minor accidents with no lost time, but are hit with the maximum increase. They don’t

receive a bill; the cost is added to every taxpayer’s tax bill. It’s difficult to explain to the taxpayers. He would like to see what the other towns are paying, and what they’re doing better for the lower percentages. Mr. Hollis requested a comparison of all the towns’ Workers’ Compensation costs and percentage increases for next year. Total Debt Service Fund - $3,160,138 General Comments: Ralph Kerr, Hume, questioned the reimbursement rate for the preschool special education costs. Margeson – 59.5 percent. Mr. Kerr pointed out that in 2006, costs were $1.5 million and state aid was $869,000; in 2007, costs are estimated at $1.9 million with state

194


aid of $892,000. Revenues are not keeping up with costs. Margeson – Will investigate and respond by mail. Mr. Kerr requested that the budget be looked over carefully for at least another $200,000 in cuts to bring the tax rate under the cost of living figures estimated by the federal government. Mr. Kerr requested a list of mandated items as compared with unmandated items. Al Carlin, Willing, asked about the reported $1.3 budget surplus at the end of 2005 and what became of it. Margeson – The 2005 budget year did end with a surplus, but the County has experienced yearly deficits since 2002. The 2005 surplus helped to offset some of the deficit. The public hearing was closed at 8:30 p.m.

November 13, 2006 The regular meeting of the Board of Legislators was called to order at 2:00 p.m. by Chairman Curtis W. Crandall. CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR RECIPIENT RECOGNIZED: Chairman Crandall took a moment to recognize the recent announcement by United States President George Bush that the Congressional Medal of Honor, the highest military recognition, has been awarded posthumously to Allegany County’s Marine Corporal Jason L. Dunham. Legislator Reynolds also spoke regarding this great

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

PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR: Chairman Crandall granted privilege of the floor to Harold Lockwood and Kimberley Toot to speak about United Way. Mr. Lockwood spoke as a representative of Literacy Volunteers, one of the recipient agencies. United Way in Allegany County supports 22 agencies including over 30 programs, helping to ensure that needs are fulfilled. Through United Way, Literacy Volunteers was able to distribute over 3,000 books to Allegany County Kindergarten classes. Ms. Toot, as Chairman of the Allegany County Employee Campaign, urged employees to consider payroll deduction. As the Office for the Aging Director, she noted that United Way supports the Senior Foundation, which donated $8,000 for the Lifeline Program to make

195

ANNUAL REPORTS

COMMUNITY SERVICES 2006 ANNUAL REPORT

The Allegany County Office of Community Services consists of two major divisions. The

first is the Local Governmental Unit (LGU) that receives money from the New York State

agencies and contracts for services with local providers. The second part of Community Services

provides services within the County and also regulatory oversight of other mental hygiene

programs.

The Office is under the direction of the Community Services Board (CSB). Policy making

functions are vested in this Board which is comprised of fifteen members appointed by the

Legislature (two of whom are County Legislators). The Board is organized with three sub-

committees: Developmental Disabilities; Chemical Dependency; and Mental Health. These sub-

committees work with the CSB and the Director of Community Services (DCS) to provide local

planning that ensures the most efficacious delivery of services to Allegany County residents.

As the executive officer of the CSB, the DCS is responsible to recommend policy to the

Board and to implement existing policies. The Office engages in contract management with

contract agencies and must assure the contractual, budgetary, and regulatory compliance of these

agencies. The Office is accountable for processing monthly expenditures and reimbursement

claims from the contract agencies and to complete the quarterly state aid claim process.

During 2006, Allegany County maintained contracts with the following agencies:

ACCORD; Allegany Council on Alcoholism and Substance Abuse; Allegany County Arc;

Allegany County Mental Health Association; ARA; Finger Lakes Parent Network; Housing

Options Made Easy; and Steuben Churchpeople Against Poverty. In addition, the CSB authorized

financial support to Pathways, Inc., Literacy Volunteers, and the Allegany Western Steuben Rural

Health Network.

Allegany County Community Services ensures appropriate, coordinated services to County

residents needing mental hygiene services. In addition to the oversight of the contractual agencies,

direct services are provided through Intensive Case Management (ICM), Single Point of Access

(SPOA), and chemical dependence evaluations for the Department of Social Services. In the area

of prevention, Community Services offers Common Sense Parenting classes open to all residents

with referrals from other agencies. This year in conjunction with the Allegany Council and

Allegany County District Attorney’s Office, the Office of Community Services applied for and

received a grant to provide treatment services for individuals diagnosed with chemical dependency

who are felons. This program, STEPS, Road to Recovery, is designed to save incarceration

expenses by providing enhanced treatment outcomes.

The Community Services Department maintains collaborative and cooperative relationships

with other County departments and human service agencies in the County. In the area of

Behavioral Health, Allegany County residents continue to receive outstanding services from

dedicated providers.

The complete Annual Report for the Community Services Agency is on file in the Clerk of

the Board of Legislators’ Office, Allegany County Office Building, Belmont, New York.

CORNELL UNIVERSITY COOPERATIVE EXTENSION 2006 ANNUAL REPORT

Cornell University Cooperative Extension of Allegany County continued to publish and

mail out its Quarterly Newspaper to 21,450 postal customers in Allegany County. Extension

uses this publication to provide research-based, educational information for the residents of

Allegany County.

In 2006, Cooperative Extension saved Allegany County $133,442 in fringe benefit costs

by hiring twelve (12) employees and contracting them out to County programs. These

employees filled positions in the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), Bioterrorism/Disaster

Preparedness, and Health Education Programs.

Allegany County partnered with Orleans, Genesee, Niagara, Erie, Livingston,

Wyoming, Chautauqua, and Cattaraugus counties as part of the Western Region Nutrition

Program. Partnerships with McKean, Potter, and Cameron counties have also been established

in the youth development program area

Under the umbrella of Nutrition, Health, and Safety, individuals from all economic

backgrounds completed Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise programs on issues of daily living skills,

parenting, budgeting, long term care, retirement, decision making, food security, food

affordability, food safety, and nutrition education. The Heart Disease Prevention Program

provided $2,500 each, mini grants to Bolivar-Richburg, Friendship, and Scio Schools to

evaluate their Health Index and Wellness policies. The Tobacco Control Program had 783

calls to the NYS Quit Line. Nicotine patches were given to 425 individuals.

The Environmental and Natural Resource Enhancement program area staff, along with

Master Gardeners and Master Forest Owners, presented programs on Municipal and Public

Forestry, Environmental and Forestry Stewardship, Tree Planting, Consumer Landscape and

Gardening, and Ponds and Water Quality.

The Children, Youth, and Family well-being initiative encompasses human

development, youth development, and the 4-H program. The 500 Allegany County youth

enrolled in the 4-H program experienced a variety of activities that promote positive youth

development.

Cooperative Extension’s Agriculture and Natural Resources program area continued to

hold their ever popular Rural Living and Rural Landowner Conferences. Cooperative

Extension agricultural staff have developed programs for and worked with the growing

numbers of organic farmers in Allegany County. Other 2006 program topics included

Beginning Farmers, Maple School, Farm Business Management, Farm Bookkeeping,

COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR 2006 ANNUAL REPORT

This report attempts to address the major projects in which I was involved in 2006, but

is not a format that can adequately describe or report the multitude of activities,

responsibilities, or obligations which fall to the County Administrator on a daily basis.

As was the case in 2005, a substantial amount of my time and effort during the first six

months of 2006 were spent on numerous issues pertaining to the final stages of constructing

the County Jail and Public Safety Facility. The facility was 99 percent complete in mid June

and a ribbon cutting ceremony took place on July 7, 2006. The final two months leading up to

completion were hectic and were marked by minor disputes which required administrative

intervention along with the need to expeditiously install and test a

telecommunications/information technology system. This required a great deal of cooperation

and interaction between equipment manufacturers, installers, County Information Technology

staff, County Sheriff’s Office staff, the building architect, and the telephone company. After

the ribbon cutting, but before we occupied the building, I continued to deal with issues

involving the closing out of contracts with contractors and assuring that contractors had met

performance obligations.

In May, I initiated the project which calls for the provision of a water and sewer

treatment infrastructure system to the area surrounding the intersection of I-86 and New York

State Route 19, commonly referred to as “The Crossroads.” The County Board of Legislators

agreed to retain the firm of LaBella and Associates to prepare the Map, Plan, and Report which

is essential to this project. The Legislature also declared the County as the Lead Agency for

the Environmental Quality Review process. The team formulated to move this effort forward

consists of the Town of Friendship Town Supervisor, Friendship Town Board members, the

County Director of Development, the County Attorney, the Project Engineer from LaBella, the

County’s financial advisor, and myself.

By the end of the year, the Map, Plan, and Report were 80 percent complete, the County

and Town had essentially agreed upon the terms and conditions of an Intermunicipal

Agreement controlling the operation and maintenance of both a sewer and water district, and a

cultural sensitivity study was underway. With the onset of winter, the cultural sensitivity study

had to be suspended and will be completed in the Spring of 2007. At this time the Map, Plan,

and Report will be finalized and, if accepted by the Board of Legislators, will be forwarded to

the Office of the New York State Comptroller for approval. Final systems design, contract

bidding, and construction will hinge on the rapidity with which the State Comptroller approves

or disapproves the Map, Plan, and Report.

The year 2006 also saw the re-emergence of the need to comply with the Court

Facilities Capital Plan Act of 1987. It has been known for several years that the County

Courthouse is deficient as to appropriate program space requirements and, as a result,

Chairman Curtis Crandall appointed an ad hoc committee whose charge was to research the

issue and come forth with a recommended solution.

I prepared a Request for Proposal seeking the services of an architectural/engineering

firm and the firm LaBella and Associates from Rochester was selected. LaBella studied the

feasibility and cost of three options (new construction, constructing an addition to the rear of

the Courthouse, and renovating a portion of the County Office Building) and recommended,

because of cost, that the County pursue the construction of a new Court Facility adjacent to the

Public Safety Facility.

263

ANNUAL REPORTS

In 2007, a Standing Committee was created by Resolution of the Board to continue the

work of the ad hoc committee.

Other major activities which collectively occupied a substantial amount of my time and

effort included:

Writing a Request for Proposal and negotiating new contracts for privately provided

home health care,

Overseeing the change in the third party administrator of the County Medical Care Plan,

Overseeing the sale of the former County-owned sand and gravel pit in Almond,

ANNUAL REPORTS

COUNTY HISTORIAN 2006 ANNUAL REPORT

Once again, it has been my pleasure to fill the position of County Historian, Museum

Curator, and County Records Management Officer for 2006.

During the year, I presented 102 slide programs throughout the County and region,

answered 37 genealogy requests, answered 25 letters inquiring about a variety of subjects, and

conducted five tours of the County buildings for the public.

The historical highlight of the year for Allegany County was the celebration of our

County’s Bicentennial. Our official birth date was April 7, 1806 and our birthday party was

held on the front lawn of the Courthouse. Those in attendance rang the official Bicentennial

Bell which formerly graced the peak of the County Museum. Curtis Crandall of Crandall

Memorials deserves a great deal of praise for restoring the bell. The official Chair of our

Bicentennial Celebration was former Legislator Susan Myers from Friendship. While many

people volunteered a great deal of time and effort for the Bicentennial, it would not have been

nearly so successful without the excellent work performed by Alice Alsworth. The major

event was the celebration held at the County Fairgrounds in Angelica on May 20, which

featured a nearly two-hour parade, many excellent historical displays, and programs

throughout the day. The last event took place on October 23 when the County’s 20th

Century

Time Capsule was buried on the front lawn of the Courthouse and sealed by the bell.

OFFICE OF DEVELOPMENT 2006 ANNUAL REPORT

The Office of Development focused our collective efforts in the development of

commerce within the County through the retention, expansion and attraction of business and

services.

Business Assistance / Revolving Loan Fund – During 2006, the Development Office assisted

over 200 businesses with various requests from permitting through financing. The Revolving

Loan Fund structured three loans totaling $60,000. Within the past five years, over $660,000

in lending has been achieved. During 2006, a restructuring of the loan fund was achieved to

combine the ACCORD Small Business Development Program. The ACCORD program will

now be lead agency for lending within the County.

Crossroads Commerce Park (I-86 & NYS Route 19) – During 2006, several significant

benchmarks were initiated and achieved relative to water and sewer infrastructure. A map,

plan, and report process was initiated with LaBella Associates to be completed early in 2007.

This will provide all preliminary engineering and permitting for infrastructure placement. The

Town of Friendship will be the provider of sewer and water services.

Marketing Initiative – For the third consecutive year, Allegany County’s Office of

Development has been recognized by New York State’s Economic Development Council for

superior marketing materials.

County Comprehensive Plan – In conjunction with the County Planning Board and the County

Legislature, the creation of a County-wide Comprehensive Plan was initiated. It is anticipated

that the plan will be completed by 2008.

ANNUAL REPORTS

DISTRICT ATTORNEY 2006 ANNUAL REPORT

The District Attorney hereby submits this summary of his annual report in the severely

condensed format required by board resolution.

There were 2,578 new files opened in 2006 to be added to those carried over from 2005.

Of these files, 993 were misdemeanors, 318 were investigations or miscellaneous or initially

regarded as felony level arrests, 1,206 were violations, and 61 were violations of probation.

ADA Keith Slep was assigned 547, ADA Amanda Newton was assigned 520, ADA Andrew

Cornell was assigned 437, and ADA Michael B. Finn was assigned 275. DA Terrence M.

Parker assumed direct responsibility for 809 files, including the major felony cases, and

exercised supervisory authority over all other files. A Special Prosecutor was needed and

appointed to handle only 30 files in 2006.

Terrence M. Parker continued to serve as full-time District Attorney, completing his

ninth full year as District Attorney and 23 years as a prosecutor. ADA Keith Slep continued as

Chief Assistant. Amanda Newton, Andrew Cornell, and Michael B. Finn served as Assistant

District Attorneys as well. Norleen Enders and Ronnelle Drozdowski served as the

Confidential Secretaries to the District Attorney and Assistant District Attorneys for the year.

All prosecutors are encouraged and required to continue with professional development

training, and were afforded the opportunity for additional training and legal education through

the NYS Prosecutor’s Training Institute and the National College of District Attorneys. All

trainings and seminars, including travel expenses, were either free or at minimal cost to the

County. The District Attorney continued active involvement with the State DA’s Association,

serving on the Executive Committee of that organization.

This office continued its long-standing practice of support and involvement with the

Allegany County Consortium on Domestic Violence, Youth Court, Partners for Prevention,

Domestic Violence Response Team, and other community organizations connected to criminal

justice. Drug Court and Integrated Domestic Violence Courts were also continued, and

resulted in increased individual accountability of offenders and enhanced community safety

while producing significant financial savings for the County. Trainings for Rape Crisis

counselors were also provided during 2006, as in previous years. The District Attorney also

continued the practice of making presentations to school classes, service organizations, and

community groups throughout the County on the legal system, juvenile justice programs, and

drug court. The DA’s Office and the Director of Community Services in Allegany County

were jointly awarded a STEPS/Road to Recovery grant from the Division of Criminal Justice

Services in 2006 to target the severely addicted criminals and provide long term inpatient

treatment as an alternative to state prison for qualified individuals. Allegany County was one

of only a very few rural programs funded by the state.

Investigative services continued to be provided by this office in 2006 utilizing Retired

Sr. Investigator Dennis Vespucci of Clarksville, formerly of the Division of State Police. His

position is part-time and entirely grant-funded, and has no cost to County taxpayers. Paul

Wright of Wellsville and James Galatio of Cuba continued to serve on our staff as unpaid K-9

Investigators. K-9 investigations were undertaken in numerous narcotics, DWI, and other

details throughout the County, in a cooperative use of our resources.

270


Through a continuing grant from the New York State Crime Victim’s Program,

Shannon Ozzella continued to serve as Victim Services Coordinator in 2006. Mrs. Ozzella also

serves as Vice-President of the WNY Coalition of Crime Victim Service Providers.

Additional resources from outside sources were also retained for the County by our

office. Despite the state budget difficulties, Aid to Prosecution funding for Allegany County

was successfully renewed at steady levels. This award is for criminal prosecution services not

otherwise funded by the County. Additional efforts will continue in the year 2007 to ensure

that this funding stream continues as a permanent grant. As in past years, the majority of the

costs of this office are paid from outside funding sources, not County taxes.

In conclusion, I would invite any member of the public to inquire further if they have

any questions regarding our office, and invite anyone with an interest to examine the expanded

report on file with the Clerk of the Board of Legislators, visit our web page at:

http://www.alleganyco.com/default.asp?show=btn_DA, or request a copy from our office.

And, in keeping with the tradition begun by my predecessor in 1974, I offer the

following proverb and quotes for your consideration and reflection:

“Whatever will satisfy hunger is good food.” Chinese proverb

“To get anywhere, or even to live a long time, a man has to guess, and guess right, over and

over again, without enough data for a logical answer.” Robert Anson Heinlein, 1907 – 1988

“Here's my Golden Rule for a tarnished age: Be fair with others, but then keep after them until

they're fair with you.” Alan Alda

“Don't be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated. You can't cross a chasm in two small

jumps.” David Lloyd George, 1863 – 1945

“The older you get the stronger the wind gets; and it's always in your face.”

ANNUAL REPORTS

BOARD OF ELECTIONS 2006 ANNUAL REPORT

The year 2006 was a year of uncertainty and change for the Board of Elections.

Commissioners and Deputies attended HAVA mandated training sessions for Persons with

Disabilities, conferences, and regional meetings to keep abreast of the ever-changing way we

do business. We wrote grants for Voter Education and Poll Worker Training ($26,408) and

Polling Place Accessibility ($19,547). As a result of a civil suit brought against the NYS

Board of Elections, we were required to use a ballot marking device for persons with

disabilities in our office.

In January, the County Board of Elections became the owners of all the voting machines

in the County. An inventory was done to determine serial numbers, the condition of the

machines, and their locations. The County also became responsible for paying the inspectors

and machine custodians. The Commissioners met with the Board of Legislators and

determined these salaries, the method of payment, and how to bill the respective towns for

these services.

The Board handled a multitude of voter registrations, cancellations, requests, changes of

enrollments, verified DMV numbers with the State DMV, absentee ballot applications,

petitions, certificates of nomination from caucuses, a primary and a general election, and over

45,000 mandated mailings.

ELECTIONS 2006:

PETITIONS AND CAUCUSES: We received 146 Republican, Democrat, and Independence

Party designating petitions, and Independent Nominating Petitions for County Sheriff, 8th

Judicial District Delegates and Alternates, Republican and Democrat County Committee

People, Democrat and Independence Party State Committee People, and town offices in five

towns. Sixteen Certificates of Nomination were filed from town caucuses.

PRIMARY ELECTION, SEPTEMBER 14, 2006: The Republican Party primaries: U.S.

Senator, County Sheriff and County Committee people in Alfred 2 and Independence. Voter

turn out was 25 percent. Democrat Primaries: Governor, U.S. Senator, and State Attorney

General. Voter turn out was 16 percent. Absentee ballots sent 417; returned 257; counted 216.

Affidavit ballots received 39; counted 10; voided 11.

GENERAL ELECTION, November 7, 2006: Candidates on the ballot were: Governor/Lt.

Governor, State Comptroller, State Attorney General, U.S. Senator, State Supreme Court

Justice, Rep. in Congress, State Senator, Member of Assembly, County Sheriff, several town

offices and four local propositions in Alfred and Angelica. Absentee ballots issued 938;

returned 776; counted 737. Affidavit ballots received 124; counted 75; voided 49. Voter turn

out was 43 percent.

CAMPAIGN FINANCE: We received a total of 51 filings. Starting in 2006, local filers who

raise, expend, or carry a balance of $1,000 or more, must file electronically with the SBOE and

in hard copy with us.

ELECTION INSPECTORS: Eleven training sessions were held for 236 inspectors. Starting

this year inspectors must take a training class once a year and pass an exam. There were 234

inspectors certified, with two failing the exam.

274


VOTER REGISTRATION, ENROLLMENT, AND LIST MAINTENANCE: At the

close of registration on October 13, there were 28,398 voters who were eligible to cast ballots

at the General Election.

BUDGET: Our budget for 2006 was $635,741. This budget included monies for the

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

and federal governments.

ANNUAL REPORTS

OFFICE OF EMERGENCY SERVICES 2006 ANNUAL REPORT

With the advent of the construction of the new Jail and Public Safety Facility, space for

the Emergency Operations Center was incorporated. This includes the 911 Dispatch Center,

Fire Service, and the Office of Emergency Services administrative offices. Our previous

location at the County Office Building was “state-of-the-art” when constructed in 1978 and has

served its purpose well. After twenty-nine years, we now have windows to look out of!

With a FEMA approved County-wide Mitigation Plan in place, the County and

participating towns and villages are eligible to apply for hazard mitigation grant funding.

Currently an application, with the County as sponsor, has been submitted for just under

three million dollars to fund a project to stabilize two erosion sites on the Genesee River.

Homeland Security Grant funding has been used to enhance the capabilities of the

County’s hazardous materials response team, as well as the Jones Memorial Hospital’s

capabilities for decontamination of patients and personal protection of its emergency

personnel. Some funding was also appropriated to increase cyber security and enhance the

County government’s computer system.

Assistance has been given to local municipalities and our government departments for

compliance with the federal National Incident Management System (NIMS).

An exercise was conducted to test the capabilities of the local responders and the Jones

Memorial Hospital in dealing with an incident involving “contaminated” patients. Another

exercise was conducted with the County Health Department to test the capabilities of

inoculating a major portion of the County’s residents if a major health emergency such as a

pandemic should occur.

Plans and procedures were maintained and updated as required.

Various notifications and warnings were disseminated that included severe weather

events as required by our emergency management department. This is done with the assistance

of the County 911 Dispatch Center.

EMS training continues as “Course Sponsor” for State Health Department certification

for our volunteers. One hundred and twenty-five people have completed various level courses.

EMPLOYMENT AND TRAINING ONE STOP CENTER 2006 ANNUAL REPORT

The Allegany County Employment & Training One Stop Center is the resource used by

job seekers for career and employment services, and by employers for job matching, pre-

assessment, and screening assistance. The number of customers seeking services remained

steady in 2006, totaling 7,771. Center Staff made 2,256 referrals to job openings resulting in

349 direct placements. Four hundred eighty-seven individuals attended workshops, and 396

were tested for employment purposes.

One hundred forty-nine employers benefited from services that included the processing

of applications, testing for math/reading skill levels, on-the-job training/work experience

subsidies, and assistance with tax credit information. Thirty-seven contracts were written

which resulted in $37,551 direct savings to participating employers for costs associated with

the training of new employees.

Funding made available through the Workforce Investment Act assisted 92 County

residents in specific occupational skills training programs linked to current demand

occupations at a total cost of $100,634. Eligible Adult and Dislocated Workers participated in

training programs resulting in certifications leading to careers in Health Care, Education,

Transportation, Manufacturing, Technology, and Human Services. Eighty-six percent of those

who completed training in 2006 found employment at an average wage of $10.98 per hour.

Our Youth Program targets at-risk youth with services such as work experience,

exposure to post-secondary educational opportunities, occupational skills training, counseling,

and supportive services. Seventy-eight youth, ages 14-21, benefited from these activities

through the Summer Youth Employment Program. The Allegany County BOCES Center and

Alfred State College Vocational School served as host worksites for younger youth and did an

excellent job of providing a paid learning experience for this group. Twenty-two

private/public sector employers from all districts of the County also participated as worksites

for older youth. Additionally, thirty-two youth continued to receive services throughout the

year with an emphasis on drop out prevention, career exploration, job seeking skills, and work

experience.

The Center continues to provide intensive services for public assistance recipients.

Eight hundred three applicants were assessed for employability. Three hundred ninety-two

receiving benefits participated in workshops including job readiness training, individualized

job search, resume development, and job retention skills. As a result, welfare grant savings

were generated through employment, sanctions, and case closings for 183 individuals.

In summary, all program activities involved 922 individuals who benefited directly from

services such as tuition assistance, wage subsidies, supportive services, workshops, job

placement, and counseling.

ANNUAL REPORTS

FIRE SERVICE 2006 ANNUAL REPORT

During the year 2006, Allegany County Fire Department volunteers responded to 568

fire calls, 502 accidents, 180 false alarms (mostly at Alfred), 196 trees/lines down, 32 carbon

monoxide calls, 9 lost persons, and 13 haz mat incidents. Fire and independent ambulances

were dispatched from Allegany County for 3,650 ambulance calls.

Our Fire Investigation Team includes four (4) Senior Investigators and five (5) Regular

Investigators. Ange Szymanski was added to the team as a regular investigator in late 2006.

The team investigated 53 fires. Because they have become fully trained, we plan to add two

regular investigators to our team in 2007.

The six (6) District Deputy Coordinators attended all mutual aid incidents in their

districts and conducted meetings of the Chief Officers. These meetings keep officers aware of

current events and problems and provide the opportunity for them to know each other better.

Russ Hall, the 911 Coordinator, worked very hard this year on getting the new 911

Center up and running. Dealing with telephone companies and other agencies has not been

easy, but I believe that the transition has gone very well and still is a work in progress.

For the last two years, the state has given us a full schedule of courses. Courses have

become more intense, and testing has become a standard for every course. Also, because

portions of some courses require three (3) certified instructors, they are very demanding on our

instructors.

Our three NYS Certified Instructors conducted classes in 2006 with a total of 6,569

person hours. One of our state instructors is leaving, so we are looking for a new instructor.

The complete Annual Report for Fire Services (including a list of fires investigated, a

copy of the 911 dispatch report, and a list of courses taught) is on file in the Clerk of the Board

of Legislators’ Office, Allegany County Office Building, Belmont, New York.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH 2006 ANNUAL REPORT

Public health is not an easy concept for many people to understand. Our society has

traditionally looked at treating illnesses after they occur, rather than taking steps to prevent or

slow the onset of disease. With the exception, perhaps, of immunizations that can prevent a

great many of the more serious infectious diseases, our current system of health care might

better be referred to as a “Disease Care” system. Public Health, however, with its primary goal

of preventing illness, is more truly a “Health Care” system.

Have you ever eaten out at a restaurant in Allegany County, or are you connected to a

public water supply at home? If so, then you have experienced public health. Have you or a

family member ever received a vaccination at a health department clinic? Then you have

experienced public health. Do you have a child with a disability that has been served by our

Children’s Services Program? If so, then you have experienced public health. If you or a

family member has ever received home health care following a hospital stay, then you, too,

have experienced public health. All these activities, and more, as provided by or in association

with your County Health Department, are aimed at promoting health and preventing disease.

To change society’s vision of what health care truly is, we must work to market

ourselves to you, to increase your understanding of who we are and more importantly, what we

can do for you to help you live longer, healthier lives. We need to consistently work to do our

best for you, as members of our “County family,” to live up to our motto of “Taking Steps for

a Healthier Community.”

There is much work to be done. Cancer rates in Allegany County are well above state

and national averages for many types of cancer. Obesity, particularly childhood obesity, is a

nationwide problem that has not spared Allegany County. This problem has resulted in a

startling rise in adult-onset diabetes in children, a group in which this type of diabetes was

almost never found. Chronic disease, increasingly common as a result of our aging population,

is a hurdle we must face as more and more become afflicted with diseases that can cause years

of disability and put a tremendous strain on health care finances.

Your County Health Department is working to address these problems within the

limited resources we possess. However, if we do our job, and do it well, we can start to make

inroads that will lead to longer, healthier lives for those who use and benefit from our services,

for the fact remains that a great many of the illnesses that strike us are largely preventable. If

we do our part in promoting healthy lifestyles that include better eating habits, more exercise,

and reducing the use of tobacco and alcohol, large steps can be made that will reduce or

eliminate the progression toward the diseases that currently affect so many of us, our family

members, and friends.

To help achieve these ends, we need your help. We need you to be mindful of our

presence and the services we provide that you can make use of. Be mindful that in spite of

limited resources, we will work hard on your behalf to meet our program objectives. If you

have a positive experience with the Health Department, let us know. Better yet, let your

friends and neighbors know also. If you have a negative experience with us, let us know that

as well. The eyes and ears of the community are often our best resource to note where our

shortcomings may be. Letting us know will help us provide better services to you and the

community, and that benefits us all. We are all residents of this home we call Allegany

County, and if we pitch in together, we can make a difference in our lives and the lives of those

we care about.

INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY 2006 ANNUAL REPORT

The Industrial Development Agency focused our collective efforts in the development

of commerce within the County through the retention, expansion, and attraction of business

and services.

Alstom Preheater Expansion – In December of 2006, Alstom Preheater in Wellsville

announced a $15 million expansion to their existing manufacturing facility. Alstom also plans

to expand its employment by at least 75 positions. In addition to the IDA, assistance was

provided by Empire State Development and the Friendship Empire Zone. Construction began

with a groundbreaking in December, with completion scheduled for Fall 2007.

to the Industrial Development Agency Board. He fills the position due to the resignation of

Jeffrey Spear. Mr. Hopkins represents District I on the Legislative Board.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 2006 ANNUAL REPORT

The Department of Information Technology continues to service all computers,

computer related equipment, and telephone equipment throughout the County with a staff of

four people. We implemented a voice over internet protocol system at the Public Safety

Facility. We continue to save the County money by doing all the programming and changes

needed for the phone system. We have the knowledge of programming the phones and moving

and punching down lines when personnel move within a department. It continues to be more

cost effective doing the work in house rather than contracting with an outside company. The

technicians had a total of 101.25 hours overtime for the year, which was an increase of sixty-

four hours from last year. This increase is primarily due to the installation of phones and

computers at the new Public Safety Facility.

The department continues to provide technical support to all County offices and

departments. Our support involves the purchase of new computers, setting them up, and

installing the software necessary for the employees to do their jobs. The technicians

troubleshoot all computers, servers, printers, and connectivity for all departments located at the

Belmont facilities, as well as facilities located in Wellsville and Alfred. Overtime was also

related to setting up the network for the WIC office, which moved from Riverside to the new

facility on State Route 417 in Wellsville. The department charged back over twenty six

hundred hours to various departments for reimbursement of our time.

ANNUAL REPORTS

PARKS AND REFORESTATION 2006 ANNUAL REPORT

County Park areas consist of the Rushford Swim Area, the Seneca Oil Spring Park, and

the County Cemetery.

The swim area at Rushford Lake saw intense usage for 2006, hosting thousands of

visitors from the general public, as well as busloads of students from schools. Waterfront

Director Bill Mosgrove continued to provide flawless supervision of lifeguards, maintenance

of the water supply, and facility operation. Department of Public Works summer crews assisted

with mowing and grounds keeping at the facility.

The Seneca Oil Spring Park is located on the Seneca Reservation just below Cuba Lake.

The park exhibits heavy usage by tourists, the public, and the Seneca Nation. The Oil Spring

and Monument area, as well as the footbridge access to the site, are in good repair. In 2006,

there did not appear to be problems with unsanctioned gathering and camping, which has been

an issue in the past. Department of Public Works summer crews assisted with the mowing and

grounds keeping at the facility.

The County Cemetery, off County Route 2 just east of Angelica, was located near the

old County Home and infirmary and is the location for over 100 graves from the 1800’s and

early 1900’s. Approximately 30 years ago, the marker stones were gathered and placed around

a central garden for preservation and maintenance purposes. Department of Public Works

summer crews assisted with the mowing and grounds keeping at the facility.

There are 2,050 acres of Reforestation areas under County ownership. The 20 Lots are

grouped into 10 Management Areas. The Soil and Water Conservation District utilizes a

consulting forester to cruise, mark, and coordinate the sale of forest products. Two sales were

identified, marked, and offered for sale in 2006. One of the sales for 68.4 thousand board feet

of hardwood trees resulted in a revenue of $40,701. This represents 81.4 percent of the

projected revenues for the year. A $5,000 softwood sale of 2,181 trees was bid out; however,

the final contract and payment will appear in 2007. Department of Public Works crews are

harvesting hardwood tops from harvested County lots to use as fuel for the regional shops

which utilize wood heat.

PUBLIC DEFENDER 2006 ANNUAL REPORT

The year 2006 was a year of big changes in the Public Defender’s Office. Upon Beth

Farwell’s abrupt resignation in September, Attorney Barbara Kelley was appointed interim

Public Defender and ultimately permanent Public Defender. Patricia Fogarty was promoted to

First Assistant. A search was conducted to fill the position of Second Assistant. Attorney

Nora Carnes was hired as a legal intern, pending her admission to the NYS Bar. A conditional

practice order was obtained from the Appellate Division allowing Ms. Carnes to handle certain

cases prior to her admission.

With the opening of the new Jail, space for the Public Defender’s Office opened up in

the County Office Building. At the end of November we were able to consolidate the previous

office occupied by Beth Farwell in Wellsville, Ms. Kelley’s office in Bolivar, and Room 218.

With the help of Maintenance and Information Technology, we were able to begin full-time

operations from the former site of the Sheriff’s Office.

Maintaining a full-time office in Belmont has greatly improved our efficiency and

ability to provide effective advocacy to our clients.

The Public Defender’s Office opened 814 new files in 2006. There were 211 Family

Court matters. There were 117 Felony criminal matters and 342 Misdemeanor cases. There

were 47 cases involving Parole or Probation Violations or other matters. Forty-eight cases

were turned over to the Allegany/Cattaraugus Legal Services, Inc. due to conflicts. Fourcases

were rejected due to ineligibility, and 28 cases resulted in defendants retaining other counsel.

Two cases declined representation, and eight petitions were withdrawn or not filed. We had

five Drug Court cases and two cases for the new Integrated Domestic Violence Court.

In addition to the regular duties of Family Court and criminal matters, the Public

Defender’s Office actively participated in two new courts established in Allegany County:

Drug Court and Integrated Domestic Violence (IDV) Court. Both courts require substantial

time commitments from the Office of the Public Defender.

The members of the Public Defender’s Office remain committed to zealous

representation of our clients and the protection of their statutory and constitutional rights.

ANNUAL REPORTS

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS 2006 ANNUAL REPORT

The Department of Public Works has maintained a reasonable level of service that is

expected by those we serve, despite the County’s continued financial situation. The dedication

of our employees has made the difference, regardless of a reduction in funding. We will

continue our efforts to provide a safe transportation system and a viable solid waste program

for the citizens of Allegany County.

CHIPS aid in the amount of $1,723,582.52 was received from New York State. There

were 21.28 miles of road Hot Mixed paved, along with Dense Grade Cold Mix being applied to

CR5B and CR46. Funds were also used on the Satterlee Hill Road Bridge in Almond and on

BR05-02 on CR2B.

Public Works started/completed two Bridges on the County Road System. Three Town

structures were completed for the Towns. County crews were busy repairing Red Flags on

numerous structures. County crews replaced a Culvert on High Street in the Village of

Angelica under FEMA.

Work continued on the CR46, East Hill Road Historic Bridge in Caneadea. Engineering

was started on two bridges on CR16 in Angelica and the Truax Road Bridge in the Town of

Wellsville.

The Bridge Maintenance Crew worked on eighty-eight different structures during the

year.

The final acre of the Phase I Closure Project at the County Landfill was completed by

County employees. Another project involved the modification of a storm water removal

system in cell 8 to ready this cell for waste disposal, which will commence in 2007. A total of

2,405 tons of waste were recycled with revenues of $131,577.05. The County landfilled

30,764.2 tons of solid waste. Tipping fees amounted to $546,311.39.

The Buildings and Grounds staff was busy with many moves during 2006. The Health

Department had several offices moved, and the Public Defender’s Office was relocated to the

former Sheriff’s Office. The most challenging part of the year was the opening of the new

County Jail and Public Safety Facility. Training programs were attended and numerous “bugs”

had to be worked out.

I would like to thank my staff for their dedication and all our employees for a job well

done. Also, I would like to thank the Board of Legislators, especially the Public Works

Committee, whose support and interest in this department has been invaluable.

REAL PROPERTY TAX SERVICE AGENCY 2006 ANNUAL REPORT

In compliance with Section 1532 R.P.T.L. County Reporting: Allegany Reporting Period: Calendar Year 2006 Major Functions: Maintenance of Assessment Rolls, Tax Rolls, Tax Maps and Assessor Training MAINTENANCE OF ASSESSMENT ROLLS AND TAX ROLLS: The production of Assessment Rolls, Tax Rolls, Tax Bills, Cross Reference Listings, Change of Assessment Notices, Sales Transmittals, and Special Reports were all processed by Allegany County. This includes the 19 School Districts, 29 Towns, and 10 Villages that have assessable property in Allegany County. There were 28 towns with the Real Property System on their own computers and were responsible for their own processing in 2006. We provided program and technical support for the Real Property System for these towns. TAX MAP MAINTENANCE: Tax maps were maintained for all 29 towns in the County. Copies of new deeds, land contract sales, and property transfer reports (RP-5217) were delivered daily by the County Clerk’s Office. Split-offs of property sales are plotted on the maps and map overlays, and new tax map index cards are generated. The overlays and copies of the index cards are sent to the assessors along with copies of the deeds and property transfer reports. There were 2,144 transfers in Allegany County in 2006. Revenue from the sale of tax maps was $8,950.35. All tax maps have been digitized and the NYSORPS has approved and certified them for use. Also, GIS coverages are updated and maintained on a monthly basis. ASSESSOR TRAINING: Assessors in New York State must meet minimum training requirements. When assessors do not meet these requirements, they can be removed from office. We have coordinated assessor training with the State Office of Real Property Services. Many of the Assessors in Allegany County took advantage of the consolidated training courses offered by the State Office of Real Property Services. The Allegany County Assessor’s Association met monthly, and several training seminars were conducted at these meetings. DIRECTOR’S ACTIVITIES: This year our office has been working on several continuing projects. We are still in the process of updating our GIS capabilities and looking for new ways to assist other departments with this information. We are continuing our efforts to incorporate the Pictometry photos, GIS maps, and tax maps with the RPS V4 system. We are working with the County Treasurer’s Office in putting together the County catalog of tax sale properties with our assessment information and photos provided by the assessors. We have reapplied for the technology grant through the NYS Office of Real Property to help assist us in upgrading our technology capabilities. As of this date, we have received tentative approval from the State and are waiting for the final notice. I remain an active member of the Western Region County Directors Association of which I am Coordinator/Treasurer. I attended the spring and summer training conferences in Albany and Lake Placid, and continue to host the monthly County Assessors Association meetings where we continue to assist assessors in their efforts to maintain equity throughout the County. I would like to thank my staff for their efforts and hard work, and the Board of Legislators for their continued support. Respectfully submitted, Steven G. Presutti, Director

ANNUAL REPORTS

OFFICE OF THE SHERIFF 2006 ANNUAL REPORT

Two events from 2006 will remain in the consciousness of the men and women of our

Office. The Allegany County Sheriff’s Office completed the construction of the new Allegany

County Jail and Public Safety Facility. The Office completed the move without incident on

August 24, 2006. Three members of the New York State Commission of Correction were on

site and commented that it was one of the best moves they have seen. Much of the year

revolved around the completion and the successful occupation of the new Jail, and members of

the Office completed this enormous task on time and under budget. On November 7, 2006,

Sheriff Randal J. Belmont was defeated in the general election and Sheriff William Tompkins

took Office at midnight on December 31, 2006.

During the past year, 741 inmates were booked in, a one percent decrease from 2005.

One inmate was housed for another county, and 18 inmates were sentenced and transported to

state prison. The highest single day population was 74 inmates, 54 males and 22 females. The

average daily population was 47 inmates. The total number of meals served was 44,616, a two

percent increase from 2005, with an average cost per meal of $1.30. There were 595 transports

in 2006, down from 724 in 2005, mainly because there is no longer a need to house out inmates

to other counties.

Civil Deputies served 1,288 civil processes in 2006. These include 861 Summonses,

338 Property or Income Executions, 29 Eviction Proceedings, 22 Subpoenas, and four Civil

Arrests. The Sheriff’s Office collected Undertakings, Fines, Bail, Fees, and Monies for

Judgment Creditors in the amount of $951,427.19.

Selective enforcement activity, community policing, and assists to other agencies

resulted in 136 arrests. Public Safety Dispatchers logged 83,157 calls of which 15,705 were

emergency 911 calls.

Court Deputies had 35,737 people pass through the magnetometer, an increase of 4,379

over 2005, for an average of 144 people per day. There were a total of 231 items confiscated

and four warrant arrests were made.

I anticipate that 2007 will be a year of change as the Allegany County Sheriff’s Office

has new leadership. The Office will work together to satisfy the need for prudent fiscal

responsibility, and I am confident the men and women of the Allegany County Sheriff’s Office

will meet the challenges of the coming year with grace.

William Tompkins, Sheriff

DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES 2006 ANNUAL REPORT

Allegany County Department of Social Services continues our mission to preserve

families, protect individuals, and promote self-sufficiency. In 2006, several new initiatives

began including the brokerage of medical transportation being brought back into the

department, and a leadership initiative started with our management team.

Staffing in the department remains constant, with nine new employees hired in 2006.

Five were due to retirement, one due to resignation, and three were new positions. The DSS

Nurse and another Social Welfare Examiner position in HEAP are fully funded through state

and federal dollars. We also added a Senior Caseworker position in the Child Protective Unit.

The department will experience high turnover during the next five to ten years. Of the 113

employees in the department, 54 are age 50 and over. Training will continue to be a priority to

keep the workforce educated and equipped to handle the diverse demands of the department.

DSS was again successful in staying under budget. The department did expend the

amount budgeted, but was able to bring in revenue in excess of the budgeted level. We closed

our books with a $1,452,592 surplus balance. The Medicaid Cap continues to consume the

greatest share of our local tax dollars.

STOP DWI PROGRAM 2006 ANNUAL REPORT

In 2006, the Allegany County STOP DWI Program completed 22 years as a community

based resource totally funded by drunk driver fines. The 2006 budget of $150,054 was

expended to provide a variety of services to the community to battle drunk driving. Funding

from the agency aided in increased enforcement, prosecution, and supervision of offenders, as

well as improving education efforts and public information. The agency relies on positive

partnerships with law enforcement, Probation, the District Attorney’s Office, town and village

officials, and not-for-profit organizations.

During the year, seven municipalities plus the Allegany County Sheriff’s Office, the

New York State Police, and the SUNY Alfred Police participated in unannounced DWI

patrols. A total of 361 alcohol-related arrests were made in 2006. Five agencies participated

in two County-wide “blanket” patrols.

The STOP DWI Office continues to provide funding to the District Attorney’s Office to

assist prosecutions of DWI arrests. The Probation Department received $21,000 for the year

2006 to be applied toward salaries for a Probation Officer and an Account Clerk to assist in the

collection of fines, preparation of pre-sentence investigations, and supervision of those

convicted of DWI offenses.

The Victim Impact Panel, collaboratively administered by this agency, MADD,

Probation, and the Allegany Council on Alcoholism and Substance Abuse, continued to be a

viable tool for offender accountability and a method of restorative justice for victims of DWI

crimes. In 2006, four Victim Impact Panels were held with 187 defendants attending.

The STOP DWI Program continued to provide prevention and education services to

youth and adults in the County. The agency supported the local SADD chapters by sponsoring

the Leadership Training Conference in October. Donations were made for school-based drug

and alcohol-free parties and to assist schools in purchasing products that can be used to educate

students about the hazards of drinking and driving. The very successful initiative, Teen New

Year’s Eve Event 2006, was sponsored by STOP DWI for the sixth year with a grant from

ACASA and with clerical assistance from the Youth for Christ staff. Our youths enjoyed the

safe and fun-filled activities which are an alternative to the traditional celebrations. Several

adults also attended with their younger children.

STOP DWI is grateful for the efforts of local and state legislators who have lobbied to

increase sanctions for repeat offenders and for tighter controls on alcohol sales to minors.

ANNUAL REPORTS

TOURISM 2006 ANNUAL REPORT

The Office of Tourism and Culture produced 125,000 copies of the Allegany County

Travel & Outdoor Guide as our primary vehicle to promote the County as a travel and

recreation destination. The guides were distributed at travel shows; AAA’s; New York State

Parks and Information Centers on I-86; I-90 in Rochester; and other tourism promotion

agencies throughout New York State, the Northeastern United States, and Canada. We are in

over 200 locations in Erie and Monroe Counties alone. The 2006 guide was completely

redesigned with a new “magazine/catalog” look, featuring our Bicentennial throughout the

guide. We were awarded first place as the New York State Tourism Matching Funds Best

County Travel Guide, for excellence in the creation of a publication promoting New York

State as a tourism destination at the 2006 Governor’s Tourism Conference.

We continued to expand upon our successful award winning “Our Allegany County

Communities” advertising campaign. This campaign highlights our communities’ heritage,

history, and culture, along with our six exits on I-86. Ad response continues to grow annually.

The Allegany County/I Love New York cooperative ad program again exceeded our

revenue goals in 2006. This program partners with events, attractions, and communities

promoting Allegany County as a tourism destination.

In September of this year, The Gift Shop at Fillmore Pharmacy agreed to open a Tourist

Information area providing tourism promotional materials to the traveling public, adding to the

number of locations already established. Partnering with the private sector, we have Allegany

County Tourism information available at key locations throughout the County in addition to

the Allegany County Visitor Center at Exit 30 off I-86.

Allegany County continues to hold our market position within the region through our

leadership role in the administration of the regional matching funds program. The year 2006

completes my eleventh year as the Chautauqua/Allegheny Regional Director. The

Chautauqua/Allegheny Region is one of eleven vacation regions in New York State. The

region is comprised of Allegany, Cattaraugus, and Chautauqua Counties.

As always, our 2006 quarterly and annual reporting and accountabilities to the New

York State Department of Economic Development Division of Tourism have been completed

and filed. The I Love New York Matching Funds program provides for 97 percent of the funds

for the marketing and promotion of the Allegany County Tourism Industry.

Finally, we applied for and received notice of our Matching Funds Grant Award for

2007. We were awarded $76,836.

TRAFFIC SAFETY BOARD 2006 ANNUAL REPORT

The Allegany County Traffic Safety Board once again had a booth at the Allegany

County Fair, which we shared with the New York State Police and the Allegany County STOP

DWI Program. This booth promotes Traffic Safety through educational handouts and activities

for young people. The Allegany County Town Highway Superintendent’s Association

graciously donated two bicycles that were given away as our Grand Prizes. The Traffic Safety

Board would like to thank all of the area businesses that donated items for our Fair booth.

The Board purchased and distributed 140 multi-sport helmets and 1,300 Halloween

safety glow sticks for distribution to kids all around the County.

The Board submitted grant applications to Albany on behalf of four different County

agencies totaling over $17,000 that channeled money back to assist local safety programs and

promote the local economy.

The Board once again supported the child safety seat program, Protect Allegany County

Kids (PACK), which sponsored child safety seat check stations throughout the County. Very

special thanks go out to the entire group of child safety seat certified technicians and all of the

people who volunteer their time to insure the safety of our young vehicle passengers.

Finally, the Traffic Safety Board continues to work with local agencies and citizens to

prioritize and establish an interactive network to address safety concerns within the County.

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES 2006 ANNUAL REPORT

The year 2006 began with the annual reports to the County and state being filed. I

began the year by organizing my duties to try to eliminate the amount of repetition that

occurred in previous years. I felt that some reduction was accomplished, although I get better

notification by businesses when seals are broken or problems arise with devices, and repeat

inspections are up proportionally. I was able to attend my state school this year and thus gain

valuable information and training. I had four stations that upgraded their pumps to enable

continued sales when the price of gas went over $3.00 per gallon, as half pricing variances are

no longer available. Enforcement of price signs being on top of pumps and being current is

still a bit of an issue when prices are changing all the time.

Testing this year covered 200 establishments with 828 inspections made. The seven

grocery stores and 14 other food store/delis were checked. The 49 commercial gas stations,

including two marinas, were tested, inspected, and approved. This year 111 gas and diesel

samples were taken under the NYS Octane Testing Program with no failures. All 12

pharmacies and two hospital pharmacies were tested, inspected, and approved. All 15 (one

new, one reactivated) active truck scales were tested with one failure that was subsequently

repaired. Seventeen bulk tanks were checked and/or recalibrated with three being new farms.

There were seven businesses closed and ten new openings under my jurisdiction this year.

I had a few phone inquiries about devices (mostly Indian gas stations) in the County and

All violations found during testing and inspecting were explained to owners or managers and

corrected at that time or in a period of time allowed by the Director. This department has

followed up on all calls for assistance and will continue to do so.

YOUTH BUREAU 2006 ANNUAL REPORT

During 2006, the Office of Children and Family Services allocated $119,708 to Allegany County for youth programs. Of this money, $29,032 supported eight Special Delinquency Prevention Programs; $33,552 was granted to 23 municipalities including Allegany County for the operation of recreation programs; $16,191 was used to offset administrative costs of running the Youth Bureau; $29,861 was allocated to ten Youth Service Programs directed toward Youth Development; and $11,072 was used to fund five County Programs using Youth Initiative monies. The Youth Bureau continues to actively collaborate with governmental, civic, and not-for-profit agencies throughout Allegany County in order to meet the needs of all County youth. For example, as a participant in Communities that Care and as a member of the Partners for Prevention in Allegany County (PPAC), this agency continues to work with others to address identified gaps in services to our County youth and families. Similarly, the Bureau has contributed statistical information to the Data Partnership which has established a single database on the Internet that can be accessed by all Allegany County agencies for grant-writing and reporting purposes. The Bureau continues to work with other agencies to provide assistance to troubled youth so that they may successfully remain in the community. Specifically, funding for these “high-risk” youth is granted to programs such as STEP & 1

st STEP (adventure

based/experiential programs), the Summer Youth Employment Program, the Southern Tier Traveling Teacher, and Youth Compeer. Since November 2003, the Youth Bureau has administered the Allegany County Youth Court. The Youth Court has nearly doubled its membership and referrals under the leadership of Coordinator Sienna Markel. By 2006, 96 cases were tried in the Court with a recidivism rate of less than 10 percent. The Court now has 57 trained members, 18 of whom are former defendants. In 2006, the Youth Bureau continued its outreach to area schools to find ways to better serve our youth. The Bureau has been privileged to partner with the Allegany-Cattaraugus BOCES, Houghton College, and several local school districts on a 21

st Century Learning grant.

The Bureau also continues to participate in Allegany County’s Business, Education, and Community Coalition to foster the Youth Career Day. The Bureau offers Internships to BOCES students, Houghton’s Upward Bound Program, and students from SUNY Alfred and Alfred University. The Youth Bureau continues to work closely with the various towns and villages which administer youth recreation programs. These contacts are valuable for monitoring and evaluation purposes, and also for networking and sharing information between and among youth organizations. The Allegany County Youth Bureau is committed to encouraging the development of innovative youth programs which are based upon the principles of Youth Development. The Youth Bureau wishes to extend thanks to the members of the Youth Board, the Youth Court Board, the Public Safety Committee, and the Board of Legislators for their continued support and assistance.

300 LEGISLATORS' PROCEEDINGS

COUNTY OF ALLEGANY Management's Discussion And Analysis For The Year Ended December 31,2006

The following is a discussion and analysis of the County of Allegany's (the "County's") financial performance for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. This section is a summary of the County's financial activities based on currently known facts, decisions, or conditions. It is also based on both the government-wide and fund based financial statements. This section is only an introduction and should be read in conjunction with the County's financial statements, which immediately follow this section.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS:

• The County's general fund reflected an increase in fund equity at year end of approximately $1.7 million. This increased the general fund equity from $2,315,000 to $3,952,000.

• During the year, the County generated $76.5 million in taxes and other revenues and spent $74.8 million in general fund expenses. Thus reflecting a continued effort from Allegany Counties leaders to recover from deficit spending.

• In the County's business-type activities (self-insurance fund), Allegany County experienced a large increase where revenues exceeded expenses by $277,000 by year end 2006.

• General Fund expenditures increased by 5.4% as compared to 5.7% in 2005. Expenses continue to rise as a result of increased costs in providing services at the same level to our residents coupled with the large budget burden of Medicaid cost, personnel costs, medical insurance costs and NYS retirement cost.

• The Undesignated Fund Balance for the General Fund has a balance of $595,000 at the close of the 2006 fiscal year. This reflects a diminished deficit and resulted in a surplus of approximately $1.7 million over year-end 2005 Undesignated Fund Balance for the General Fund.

• Our overall net change to General Fund Balance (designated and undesignated) was an increase of $ 1.7 million, with an ending fund balance of $3.9 million.

OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

This annual report consists of three parts: management's discussion and analysis (this section), the basic financial statements, and required supplementary information. The basic financial statements include two kinds of statements that present different views of the County:

• The first two statements are government-wide financial statements that provide both long-term and short-term information about the County's overall financial status.

• The remaining are fund financial statements that focus on individual parts of the County government, reporting the County's operations in more detail than the government-wide statements.

-» The governmental funds statements tell how general government services were financed in the short-term as well as what remains for future spending.

-» Proprietary fund statements offer short and long-term financial information about the activities the government operates like a business.

-> Fiduciary fund statements provide information about financial relationships in which the County acts solely as a trustee or agent for the benefit of others, to whom the resources in question belong.

The financial statements also include notes that explain some of the information in the financial statements and provide more detailed data. The financial statements are followed by a section of required supplementary information that further explains and supports the information in the financial statements.

ANNUAL REPORTS 301


Government-wide Statements

The government-wide statements report information about the County as a whole using accounting methods similar to those used by private-sector companies. The statement of net assets includes all of the government's assets and liabilities. All of the current year's revenues and expenses are accounted for in the statement of activities regardless of when cash is received or paid.

Historically, a government's largest group of assets, (infrastructure - roads, bridges, etc.), have not been reported nor depreciated in governmental financial statements. The government-wide. statements require that these assets be valued and reported within the governmental column of the government-wide statements. Additionally, the government must elect to either (1) depreciate these assets over their estimated useful life or (2) develop a system of asset management designed to maintain the service delivery potential to near perpetuity. If the government develops the asset management system (the modified approach) which periodically (at least every third year), by category, measures and demonstrates its maintenance of locally established levels of service standards, the government may record its cost of maintenance in lieu of depreciation. The County has chosen to depreciate assets over their useful life. If a road project is considered maintenance, (a recurring cost that does not extend the road's original useful life or expand its capacity), the cost of the project will be expensed.

The two government-wide statements report the County's net assets and how they have changed. Net assets, the difference between the County's assets and liabilities, is one way to measure the County's financial health, or position.

• Over time, increases or decreases in the County's net assets are an indicator of whether its financial health is improving or deteriorating, respectively.

• To assess the overall health of the County, you need to consider additional nonfinancial factors such as changes in the County's property tax base and the condition of the County's roads.

The government-wide financial statements of the County are divided into three categories:

• Governmental activities - Most of the County's basic services are included here, such as public safety, health and social services, and general administration. Property taxes, sales and use taxes, and state and federal grants finance most of these activities.

• Business-type activities - The County of Allegany charges fees to other funds to cover most of the costs of certain services it provides. Business activities include worker's compensation and medical insurance. The County is self-insured for both these services but we charge municipalities and individuals who are provided these services.

• Component Units - The County's component unit reports the activities of the Allegany County Soil and Water Conservation District, which is described in detail in the notes to the financial statements. Although legally separate, this component unit is important because the County is financially accountable for them.

Net assets of the governmental activities differ from the governmental fund balances because governmental fund level statements only report transactions using or providing current financial resources. Also, capital assets are reported as expenditures when financial resources (money) are expended to purchase or build said assets. Likewise, the financial resources that may have been borrowed are considered revenue when they are received. The principal and interest payments are both considered expenditures when paid. Depreciation is not calculated if it does not provide or reduce current financial resources. Finally, capital assets and long-term debt are both accounted for in account groups and do not affect the fund balances.


>


Entity-wide statements are reported utilizing an economic resources measurement focus and full accrual basis of accounting that involves the following steps to format the Statement of Net Assets:

• Capitalize current outlays for capital assets; • Report long-term debt as a liability; • Depreciate capital assets and allocate the depreciation to the proper program/activities; • Calculate revenues and expenses using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting; and • Allocate net asset balances as follows;

-> Net Assets invested in capital assets, net of related debt; -> Restricted Net Assets are those with constraints placed on their use by external sources (creditors, grantors,

contributors, or laws or regulations of governments) or imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation; and

-> Unrestricted Net Assets are net assets that do not meet any of the above restrictions.

Fund Financial Statements

The fund financial statements provide more detailed information about the County's most significant funds, not the County as a whole. Funds are accounting devices that the County uses to keep track of specific sources of funding and spending for particular purposes. Some funds are required by State law and by bond covenants. The County Board establishes other funds to control and manage money for particular purposes or to show that it is properly using certain taxes and grants.

The County has three kinds of funds:

• Governmental funds - Most of the County's basic services are included in governmental funds, which focus on (1) how cash and other financial assets that can readily be converted to cash flow in and out and (2) the balances left at year-end that are available for future allocation. Consequently, the governmental funds statements provide a detailed short-term view that helps you determine whether there are more or fewer financial resources that can be spent in the near future to finance the County's programs. Because this information does not encompass the additional long-term focus of the entity-wide statements, a separate reconciliation provides additional information that explains the relationship (or differences) between them. The governmental funds consist of the general fund, special revenue funds, and capital project funds. Required statements are the Balance Sheet and the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in Fund Balances.

• Proprietary funds - The proprietary funds generally report services for which customers are charged a fee. Like entity-wide statements, proprietary funds provide both long- and short-term financial information. The County uses internal service funds (the other type of proprietary fund) to report activities that provide services to its other programs and activities. The County currently has three internal service funds. These funds are used to account for the County's risk management activities, worker's compensation and medical insurance. For reporting purposes, the risk management services and medical insurance are segregated and blended with the governmental activities while the worker's compensation is reported as a business-type activity as an internal service fund. Required statements are the Statement of Net Assets, the Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and Changes in Net Assets, and the Statement of Cash Flows.

» Fiduciary funds - The County is the trustee or fiduciary for assets that belong to others. The County is responsible for ensuring that the assets reported in these funds are used only for their intended purposes and by those to whom the assets belong. The County excludes these activities from the entity-wide financial statements because it cannot use these assets to finance its operations. Fiduciary fund reporting focuses on net assets and changes in net assets. This report should be used to support the County's own programs and is developed using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, except, for the recognition of certain liabilities of defined benefit pension plans and certain post employment healthcare plans. Required statements are the Statement of Fiduciary Net Assets and the Statement of Changes in Fiduciary Net Assets. Since the County has only agency funds, no Statement of Changes in Fiduciary Net Assets has been presented.

Governmental Activities:

Revenues for the County's governmental activities totaled $87,101,334 while expenses equaled $84,919,683. Therefore, the increase in net assets for governmental activities was $2,181,651 for 2006.

In 2003, the County Board of Legislature implemented three new revenue streams to offset the burden on the taxpayer. These were the Additional Mortgage Tax, Occupancy Tax and Automobile Use Tax. The benefits of these revenues continue to assist the County and it's taxpayers.

Effective December 2004, Allegany County increased our local sales tax from 4.0% to 4.5% in hopes of additional relief for the taxpayer in 2005. Our final tax rate increase for 2006 was 6.07% compared to 6.2% in 2005.

In Table 5, we have presented comparative infomiation on the cost of each of the County functions and programs, as well as each function's net cost (total cost less revenues generated by the activities). Providing this information allows our citizens to consider the cost of each function in comparison to the benefits they believe are provided by that function.

sales tax and other non-property taxes of $ 17,236,486 and $8,382,546 of other miscellaneous revenues.



• General government support - Includes expenses of the County Board, County Offices and administration, contracted professional services, buildings and grounds maintenance, and insurance.

Business-type Activities:

Revenues for the County's business-type activities totaled $950,555 while expenses equaled $673,327. The major activity in the internal service fund is for our self-insurance plan for employees. The general fimd does not treat this expense as an interfund transfer but rather as an expense to the general fund for employee benefits and as revenue to the internal service fund.

THE COUNTY'S MAJOR GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS:

Variances between years for the governmental fund financial statements are not the same as variances between years for the governmental activities on the Entity-wide financial statements. The County's governmental fund financial statements are presented on the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Based on this presentation, these statements do not include long-term debt liabilities for the funds projects and capital assets purchased by the funds. The governmental statements will include the proceeds received from the issuance of debt, the current payments for capital assets, and the current payments for debt.

The County's governmental fund financial statements reflect a continuing recovery from the previous large deficits in the general fund. In 2005, the capital projects fund still showed a deficit fund balance. The County bonded in 2006 for the $23.7 million Public Safety Complex project that was completed and opened in 2006. It is anticipated that the smaller projects consisting of approximately $5 million will be long-term financed in 2007.

309 ANNUAL REPORTS


GENERAL FUND BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS:

Over the course of the year, the County Legislature revised the budget several times. These budget amendments fall into three categories:

• Amendments and supplemental appropriations approved shortly after the beginning of the year to reflect the actual beginning account balances (correcting the estimated amounts in the budget adopted for 2006).

• Changes made to account for significant events. • Increases in appropriations to prevent budget overruns.

CAPITAL ASSET AND DEBT ADMINISTRATION:

Capital Assets

At the end of fiscal year 2006, the governmental activities of the County had $57,640,565 invested in land, construction in progress, buildmgs, land improvements, infrastructure, and machinery and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation. This amount represents an increase (including additions, deletions and adjustments) of $5,077,219, or 9.7%, over last year. Depreciation expense of $2,952,751 has been recorded in the current year. Additional information on the County's capital assets can be found in notes to these financial statements. As a requirement of GASB No. 34, this is the fourth year that infrastructure has appeared as a fixed asset. The County recognized any new infrastructure for 2006 and continues to phase in the remaining roads and culverts to reach completion by the required reporting date of December 31,2007.

ECONOMIC FACTORS AND NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET;

The County's elected and appointed officials considered many factors when preparing and later adopting a budget for the fiscal year 2006, most of all the impact on the local taxpayer. One of the biggest factors in Allegany County is the economy. Over the past several years, unemployment has risen, while businesses have left the area or reduced their staff in order to maintain their operations. This has a double impact when considering the level of income in Allegany County. Most residents are eligible for some form of aid thru Social Services. This has contributed to the County's cost of Medicaid and other programs available to the citizens of Allegany County. Even with the State Cap placed on Medicaid, the cost of that one program is a large portion of our county's tax levy. In 2006, the actual cost of Medicaid was approx 43.51% of our tax levy up from 41% in 2005. Medicaid, even with the "cap" continues to put local strain on county budgets for New York State Counties. Allegany in order to absorb the costs of Medicaid and other unfunded mandates has increased taxes over the last 5 years from a low of 3.35% in 2003 to a high in 2004 of 21.51%. In order to meet our unexpected overruns and shortfalls since 2001, our general undesignated fund balance had ceased to exist. But in closing 2006 we have reflected a positive undesignated general fund balance of $595,000. For the last three fiscal years, we have reduced this deficit by over $ 4.6 million, $702,000 in 2004, 2.7 million in 2005 and 1.7 million in 2006.

Allegany County completed a $23.7 million Public Safety Complex and began operating this new facility in the fall of 2006. It is hoped that in adding additional pods for housing inmates, we will experience a revenue source to offset the payment of this construction. The facility was imposed on Allegany County by the State of NY as a result of our current facility, both size and housing style and our prison population. Allegany County issued bonds in 2006 in order to cover the cost of this project.

As part of the construction of the Public Safety Complex, the County established a new water district and we are hoping that in the future this will provide an infrastructure to encourage development along State Route 19.south of the Town of Amity. The County also is participating in projects with the Town of Friendship to develop sewer and water line construction at the intersection of State Route 19 and Interstate 86 to encourage economic development at the Crossroad site, north of the Town of Amity.

Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of activities are different because:

Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement of activities, the costs of those assets are allocated over their estimated useful lives as depreciation expense. In the current period, these amounts are the following:

Capital outlay 8,169,317 Depreciation expense ("2.952.75 H

Excess of capital outlay over depreciation 5,216,566

Repayment of long-term debt is reported as an expenditure in governmental funds, but the repayment reduces long-term liabilities in the statement of net assets. In the current period, these amounts are the following:

Debt repayments 565,000

Some items reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial resources and therefore are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds. In the current period, these amounts are the following:

Compensated absences (31,254) Accrued interest (281,147)

Bond proceeds are reported as financing sources in (23,170,000) governmental funds and thus contribute to the change in fund balance.

COUNTY OF ALLEGANY Notes To Financial Statements

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

The financial statements of the County of Allegany, State of New York (the "County") have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America as applied to government units (hereinafter referred to as generally accepted accounting principals (GAAP). The Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard setting body for establishing government accounting and financial reporting principles. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies and reporting practices of the County:

A. Reporting Entity

Primary Government - The County of Allegany, is a municipal corporation established in 1806, which performs local governmental functions within its jurisdiction including: law enforcement services; economic assistance; health and nursing services; and maintenance of County roads. The County is governed by County Law, general laws of the State of New York (the "State") and various local laws and ordinances. The County Legislature, which is the legislative body responsible for the overall operation of the County, consists of fifteen legislators. The Chairman of the Legislature serves as the Chief Executive Officer, and the County Treasurer serves as the Chief Fiscal Officer of the County. The County Administrator, appointed by the legislature, is responsible for the overall administration of the County government.

The County provides mandated social service programs such as Medicaid, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and Safety Net. The County also provides services and facilities in the areas of culture, recreation, education, police, youth, health, senior services, roads, and sanitary sewerage. These general government programs and services are financed by various taxes, state and federal aid and departmental revenue (which is primarily comprised of service fees and various types of program-related charges).

B. Basis of Presentation

1. Government-wide Statements

The government-wide financial statements, (i.e., the statement of net assets and the statement of activities), report information about the primary government (the County) and its component units. These statements include the financial activities of the overall government, except fiduciary activities. Eliminations have been made to minimize the double-counting of internal activities. These statements distinguish between the governmental and business-type activities of the County. Governmental activities generally are financed through taxes, intergovernmental revenues and other nonexchange transactions. The business-type activities is comprised of the self-insurance fund.

The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function, segment or program are offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or program. Indirect expense allocations that have been made in the funds have been reversed for the statement of activities. Program revenues include 1) fees, fines, and charges paid by the recipients of goods or services offered by the programs and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements of a particular program. Revenues that are not classified as program revenues, including all taxes, are presented as general revenues.

Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds, even though the fiduciary funds are excluded from the govemment-wide financial statements. Major individual governmental funds are reported in separate columns in the fund financial statements.

2. Fund Financial Statements

The fund financial statements provide information about the County's funds, including governmental, proprietary and fiduciary. Separate statements for each fund category - governmental, proprietary, and fiduciary - are presented. A fund is a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. Fund accounting is designed to demonstrate legal compliance and to aid financial management by segregating transactions related to certain government functions or activities. The emphasis of fund financial statements is on major governmental funds, each displayed in a separate column. All remaining funds are aggregated and reported as non-major funds.

ANNUAL REPORTS 319


a. The County reports the following major governmental funds:

i. The General Fund is the County's primary operating fund and is always considered a major fund. It accounts for all the financial resources of the general government, except those required to be accounted for in another fund.

ii. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the County Jail Project and the remaining Capital Projects were major funds.

b. The County reports the following component units:

i. The Allegany County Soil and Water Conservation District ("SWCD") was established in accordance with the Soil and Water Conservation Districts Law, to provide for the conservation of the County's soil and water resources. Members of the SWCD's board of directors are appointed by the Legislature, and administrative costs of the SWCD are funded primarily through County appropriations. The SWCD does derive other revenues and perform other activities outside the County's general oversight responsibilities. The directors of the SWCD have sole responsibility for management of the SWCD and full accountability for fiscal matters.

C. Fund Types

1. Governmental Fund Types

Governmental funds are those through which most governmental functions are financed. The acquisition, use and balances of expendable financial resources and the related liabilities are accounted for through governmental funds. The measurement focus of the governmental funds is upon determination of financial position and changes in financial position. The following are the County's governmental fund types:

General Fund - The General Fund is the genera) operating fund of the County. The fund is used to account for all financial resources except for those required to be accounted for in a separate fund.

Special Revenue Funds - The Special Revenue Funds are used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other than expendable trusts or major capital projects) that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes or for which separate accounting is required by administrative action.

Housing Rehabilitation Fund - Federal/State aided program for Community Development Block Grants administered by the ACCORD Corp. and passed thru the County to recipients for housing rehabilitation projects.

Micro-Enterprise Grant Fund - Federal/State aided program administered by the County Economic Development Department. This is primarily a revolving loan fund to aid small businesses in Allegany County, either for start up funds or rehabilitation funds.

Special Grant Fund - To account for use of Federal monies received under the Workforce Investment Act.

County Road - To account for the repairs and maintenance of County roads in accordance with New York State Laws.

Road Machinery - To account for the purchase of highway machinery and equipment in accordance with New York State Laws.

Debt Service Fund - The Debt Service Fund is used to finance and account for revenues raised for the payment of interest and principal on debt and to account for those expenditures. In fiscal 2006, there were no special assessments and revenue was generated by interest earned on the capital project funds.

Capital Projects Fund - The Capital Projects Fund is used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities or equipment when bond anticipation notes or capital notes are issued to finance such acquisitions or construction.



2. Proprietary Fund Types (Business-type Activities)

Proprietary Funds - Used to account for the financing of goods or services provided by one County fund for the other County funds on a cost reimbursement basis. The Self-insurance Reserve Fund is a type of propriety fund used to accumulate reserve funds to account for certain claims, judgments and losses in lieu of, or in addition to, purchasing insurance coverage from an insurance company.

Proprietary fund operating revenues, such as charges for services, result from exchange transactions associate with the principal activity of the fund. Exchange transactions are those in which each party receives and gives up essentially equal values. Nonoperating revenues, such as subsidies and investment earnings, result from nonexchange transactions or ancillary activities.

Internal Service Funds - are used to account for special activities or services provided by one department to other departments or to other governments on a cost-reimbursement basis. This fund includes the following:

a. Self-Insurance Fudnd - The Self-Insurance Fund is used to accumulate reserve funds to account for certain claims, judgments, and losses in lieu of, or in addition to, purchasing insurance coverage from an insurance company.

b. Risk Retention Fund - The Risk Retention Fund is used to account for its risk management activities.

c. Risk Retention-Health Fund - The Risk Retention-Health Fund is used to account for its risk management activities relating to health services.

3. Fiduciary Funds (Trust and Agency Funds)

Fiduciary funds are used to account for fiduciary activities. Fiduciary activities are those in which the County acts as trustee or agent for resources that belong to others. These activities are not included in the government-wide financial statements because their resources do not belong to the County and are not available for use. Agency funds are custodial in nature (assets equal liabilities) and do not involve measurement of results of operations.

D. Measurement Focus and Basis of Accounting

1. Accrual Basis

The government-wide, proprietary, and fiduciary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resource measurement focus. The government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements are reported using the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred, regardless of when the related cash flows take place. Nonexchange transactions, in which the County gives (or receives) value without directly receiving (or giving) equal value in exchange, include property taxes, grants, entitlements, and donations. On an accrual basis, revenue from property taxes is recognized in the fiscal year for which the taxes are levied. Revenue from grants, entitlements, and donations is recognized in the fiscal year in which all eligibility requirements have been satisfied.

As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide financial statements except when the elimination would distort direct costs and program revenue reported for the various functions concerned.

321 ANNUAL REPORTS


2. Modified Accrual Basis

The governmental fund statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Under this method, revenues are recognized when both measurable and available. The County considers all revenues reported in the governmental funds to be available if the revenues are collected within sixty days after year-end. Property taxes, sales taxes, franchise taxes, licenses, and interest are considered to be susceptible to accrual. Expenditures are recorded when the fund liability is incurred, except for principal and interest on general long-term debt, claims and judgments, and compensated absences, which are recognized as expenditures to the extent they have matured. General capital asset acquisitions are reported as expenditures in governmental funds. Proceeds of general long-term debt and acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other financing sources.

Under the terms of grant agreements, the County funds certain programs by a combination of specific cost-reimbursement grants, categorical block grants, and general revenues. Thus, when program expenses are incurred, there are both restricted and unrestricted net assets available to finance the program. It is the County's policy to first apply cost-reimbursement grant resources to such programs, followed by categorical block grants, and then by general revenues.

All governmental and business-type activities of the County follow FASB Statements and Interpretations issued on or before November 30, 1989, Accounting Principles Board Opinions, and Accounting Research Bulletins, unless those pronouncements conflict with GASB pronouncements.

3. Use of Estimates

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and, as such, include amounts based on informed estimates and judgments of management with consideration given to materiality. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

4. Reserves and Fund Designations

In the fund financial statements, designations of non-proprietary fund balances are used to show the amounts within unreserved fund equity which are intended to be used for specific purposes; primarily to provide funding for appropriations in the subsequent fiscal year and for specific program purposes. At December 31,2006, the total amount designated as appropriated for the 2007 budget was $0. The following is a summary of the reserves for specific program purposes as of December 31, 2006:

5. Budgetary Data

The budget of the County is a detailed operating plan which identifies estimated costs and results in relation to estimated revenues. The budget utilizes the modified accrual method of accounting and includes:

• The programs, projects, services and activities to be carried on during the fiscal year. • The estimated revenue available to finance the operating plan. • The estimated spending requirements of the operating plan.

The County follows these procedures in establishing the budgetary data reflected in the financial statements.

• No later than November 15th, the Budget Officer submits a tentative budget to the Legislature for the fiscal year commencing the following January 1.

• Public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayers' comments.

• After public hearings are conducted to obtain taxpayer comments, no later than December 20th, the governing board adopts the budget.

• Budgetary controls are established for the capital projects fund through resolutions authorizing individual projects, these resolutions remain in effect for the life of the project.

• During the year the Board has, by resolution, authorized additional appropriations and increased existing appropriations. The additional funds were provided from any unencumbered balances in appropriations, the contingency funds, or from anticipated revenues and appropriated cash surplus. All unused, unencumbered appropriations lapse at the end of the fiscal year.

6. Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of reporting in these financial statements, the County includes all cash accounts and all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase as cash and cash equivalents.

7. Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost or market, using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

8. Capital Assets

Purchased or constructed capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment and infrastructure assets (e.g., roads, sidewalks and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental type activity column in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are defined by the County within the capitalization policy as assets with an initial individual cost of more then $1,000 and an estimated useful life in excess of one year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of donation. Cost of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets' lives are not capitalized.

Capital assets are depreciated using the straight line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Years

Buildings and improvements Land improvements Machinery and equipment Infrastructure

20-40 20

3-10 10-100

ANNUAL REPORTS 323


9. Compensated Absences, Vacation and Sick Leave

Qualified County employees are granted vacation and sick leave and earn compensatory absences in varying amounts. The liability for compensated absences has been calculated using the vesting method. In the event of termination, or upon retirement, an employee is entitled to payment for accumulated vacation and sick leave and unused compensatory absences at various rates subject to certain maximum limitations. Estimated vacation and sick leave and compensatory absences have been recorded in the government-wide financial statements.

Payment of vacation and sick leave, as recorded in the government-wide financial statements, is dependent upon many factors, therefore, timing of future payments is not readily determinable. However, management believes that sufficient resources will be made available for the payments of vacation and sick leave and compensatory absences when such payments become due.

10. Post Employment Benefits

In addition to providing pension benefits, the County provides post-employment health insurance coverage to its retired employees and their survivors until the death of the retired employee at which time all benefits cease. Substantially all employees may become eligible for these benefits when they reach age 62 and have worked 10 consecutive years for the County. Currently 24 retirees meet those eligibility requirements. The County pays 100% of the cost of premiums to an insurance company which provides health care insurance. During 2006, the County recognized the cost of providing benefits by recording approximately $77,466, its share of the insurance premiums for the currently enrolled retirees, as expenditures in various fluids.

11. Deferred Compensation Plan

In October 1997, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 32 Accounting and Financial Reporting for Internal Revenue Code Section 457 Deferred Compensation Plans. This statement established accounting and financial reporting standards for Internal Revenue Code Section 457 deferred compensation plans of state and local governments.

As of October 1, 1997, the New York State Deferred Compensation Board (Board) created a Trust and Custody agreement making Chase Manhattan Bank the trustee and custodian of the Plan. Consequently, Statement No. 32 became effective for the New York State Deferred Compensation Plan as of October 1, 1997. Since the Board is no longer the trustee of the plan, the plan no longer meets criteria for inclusion in New York State's financial statements.

Therefore, municipalities which participate in New York State's Deferred Compensation Plan are no longer required to record the value of the plan assets.

12. Interfund Transfers

Interfund transfers are generally recorded as operating transfers in (out) except for the following types of transactions:

• Interfund revenues which are recorded as revenues of the performing fund and expenditures of the requesting fund.

• Reimbursements for services performed, which are recorded as a reduction of expenditures in the performing fund and an expenditure of the requesting fund.

13. Encumbrances

Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase order, contracts and other commitments for the expenditure of monies are recorded in order to reserve applicable appropriations, is employed as a control in preventing over expenditure of established appropriations. Open encumbrances are reported as a reservation of fund balance since such commitments will be honored through budget appropriations in the subsequent year.



E. Property Taxes

The Countywide property tax is levied by the County Legislature effective January 1 of the year the taxes are recognizable as revenue. Taxes become a lien on the related property on January 1 of the year for which they are levied. In the fund financial statements, property tax is only recognized as revenue in the year for which the levy is made and to the extent that such taxes are received within the reporting period or sixty days thereafter.

Delinquent property taxes not collected at year-end (excluding collections in the 60-day subsequent period) are recorded as deferred revenue in the fund financial statements.

The towns and special districts receive the full amount of their levies annually out of the first amounts collected on the combined bills. The County assumes the enforcement responsibility for all taxes levied in the towns.

Unpaid village and school district taxes are turned over to the County for enforcement and are re-levied with the County taxes in subsequent years.

Note 2. Deposits and Investments:

The County's investment policies are governed by State statutes. In addition, the County has its own written investment policy. County monies must be deposited in FDIC-insured commercial banks or trust companies located within the State. The County is authorized to invest in certificates of deposit, time deposit accounts, obligations of New York State and the U.S. Government and repurchase agreements. At December 31, 2006, cash and cash equivalents are entirely composed of demand accounts and certificates of deposit.

Collateral is required for time deposits and certificates of deposit at 102 percent of all deposits not covered by the federal deposit insurance. Obligations that may be pledged as collateral are obligations of the United States and its agencies and obligations of the State and its municipalities and towns.

The written investment policy requires repurchase agreements to be purchased from banks located within the State and that underlying securities must be obligations of the federal government. Underlying securities must have a market value of at least 102 percent of the cost of the repurchase agreement.

Deposits:

At year-end the County's bank balances can be categorized as follows:

Carrying Amount Bank Balance

Cash and cash equivalents, including proprietary and trust funds $ 9.159.942 $ 10.212.973

Collateralized with securities held by the County or by its agent in the County's name $ 9,812,975

Note 4. Bond Anticipation Notes Payable:

Liabilities for bond anticipation notes (BANs) are generally accounted for in the Capital Projects Fund. The original notes are generally issued for one year. Renewal thereof may not extend more than two years beyond the original date of issue unless a portion is redeemed within two years and within each 12 month period thereafter. BANs issued for capital purposes must be converted to long-term obligations within five years after the original issue date. However, BANs issued for assessable improvement projects may be renewed for periods equivalent to the maximum life of the permanent financing, provided that stipulated annual reductions of principal are made. The due dates of the BANs listed below are in consideration of anticipated renewals.

Note 9. Retirement Plan:

The County participates in the New York State Employees' Retirement System (ERS) (the System). This is a cost-sharing multiple-employer retirement system. The System provides retirement benefits as well as death and disability benefits. Obligations of employers and employees to contribute and benefits to employees are governed by the New York State Retirement and Social Security Law (NYSRSSL). As set forth in the NYSRSSL, the Comptroller of the State of New York (Comptroller) serves as sole trustee and administrative head of the System. The Comptroller shall adopt and may amend rules and regulations for the administration and transaction of the business of the System and for the custody and control of their funds. The System issues a publicly available financial report that includes financial statements and required supplementary information. That report may be obtained by writing New York State and Local Retirement Systems, Gov. Alfred E. Smith, State Office Building, Albany, NY 12244.

The System is noncontributory except for employees who joined the New York State and Local Employees' Retirement System after July 27, 1976, who contribute 3% of their salary. Under the authority of the NYSRSSL, the Comptroller shall certify annually the rates expressed as proportions of payroll of members, which shall be used in computing the contributions required to be made by employers to the pension accumulations fund.

The County of Allegany is required to contribute at an actuarially determined rate. The required contributions for the current year and two preceding years were:

ERS 2006 $ 2,092,194 2005 $ 2,232,141 2004 $ 2,479,000

329 ANNUAL REPORTS


Since 1989, the System's billings have been based on Chapter 62 of the Laws of 1989 of the State of New York. This legislation requires participating employers to make payments on a current basis. While amortizing existing unpaid amounts relating to the System's fiscal years ending March 31, 1988 and 1989 (which otherwise were to have been paid on June 30, 1989 and 1990, respectively) over a 17-year period, with an 8.75% interest factor added. Local governments were given the option to prepay this liability. The County of Allegany elected to prepay the retirement liability. In July, 2004, Governor Pataki signed into law Chapter 260 which contained three components which alter the way municipalities contribute to the state pension system: (1) revision of the payment due date, (2) extension of the period of time for pension debt amortization, and (3) authorization to establish a pension reserve fund. Effective for 2004, the annual required contribution was due February 1 annually instead of December 15. As a result no payment was due in 2004. The law also provided the option to municipalities to create a Pension Contribution Reserve Fund. The unclear aspect of the law was the accounting treatment of the payment date changes. Allegany County chose to accrue 75% of the pension liability in 2004 (consistent with salaries accrued during the three quarters starting April 1, the starting date of the retirement system billing period, and a December 31 local government fiscal year end) and defer the remaining 25% to 2005.

Note 10. Contingencies:

The County is involved in litigation arising in the ordinary course of its operations. The County believes that its ultimate liability, if any, in connection with these matters will not have a material effect on the County's financial condition or results of operations.

Also in the normal course of operations the County receives grant funds from various Federal and State agencies. These grant programs are subject to audit by agents of the granting authority, the purpose of which is to ensure compliance with conditions precedent to the granting of funds. Any disallowed expenditures resulting from such audits could become a liability of the governmental funds. While the amount of any expenditures which may be disallowed cannot be determined at this time, management expects any amounts to be immaterial.

Note 11. Self-Insurance Reserve Fund:

As its predominant participant, the County maintains its' Workers' Compensation program within its Internal Service Fund. Certain local towns and villages also participate. The objective of this fund is to provide worker's compensation benefits at a moderate cost as a result of pooling the loss experience of its participants. Premiums charged to participants are based on assessed land values and expected claim expenditures. The County records this liability in the Internal Service Fund. The total claims liability of $1,665,000 is derived based on the requirements of GASB Statement No. 10, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Risk Financing and Related Insurance Issues, which requires that a liability for claims be reported if information prior to the issuance of the financial statements indicates that it is probable that a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Changes in the total liability in 2006 and 2005 were:

The County assumes the liability for some risk including, but not limited to, general and personal injury liability, and unemployment claims. Judgments and claims are recorded at the time a liability has been incurred and an award has been made. The County's risk relating to general liability is limited, under an insurance policy, to $100,000 per incident with an aggregate of $375,000. Additional amounts are provided in excess of $1,000,000 per incident and $3,000,000 in aggregate. No amounts in excess of aggregate were paid in 2006.

The County is self-insured for the cost of hospital, medical and prescription drugs for its employees, board members and retirees at no cost to the insured. The County maintains excess insurance coverage for significant long-term claims. The County accounts for this activity in an internal service fund. The County's liability for unpaid medical claims was $475,983 at December 31,2006.

Note 12. Stewardship, Compliance, Accountability:

Material Violations Of Finance-Related Provisions

Expenditures exceeding the budget are explained as follows:

General Fund

Expenditures for education, public safety, economic assistance and opportunity, culture and recreation and home and community services exceeded the budgeted amount. During 2006, the County did not have surplus to cover increased expenses, especially education, public safety, culture and recreation and economic assistance and opportunity, which increased significantly.

Note 13. Landfill Closure Costs:

State and Federal laws and regulations require the County to place a final cover on the Allegany County Sanitary Landfill when it stops accepting waste and to perform certain maintenance and monitoring functions at the site for thirty years after closure. Although closure and postclosure care costs will be paid only near or after the date that the landfill stops accepting waste, the County reports a portion of these closure and post-closure care costs in its non-current liabilities on the government-wide statement of net assets based on landfill capacity used as of each balance sheet date. The $6,060,906 reported as landfill closure and postclosure care liability at December 31, 2006, represents 59% of the estimated closure costs and 67% of the estimated postclosure costs of the remaining cells based on the use of the estimated capacity of the landfill.

The County will recognize the remaining estimated cost of closure and post closure care costs as the remaining capacity is filled. The County expects to close the remaining cells of the landfill in the year 2012. Actual cost may be higher due to inflation, changes in technology, or changes in regulations. Such costs will be recognized as an expenditure in the general or capital projects fund when they require the use of available and measurable resources.

The County has reserved $2,311,824 of the general fund balance as of December 31, 2006 for these puiposes, and the remaining balance will be funded through the use of bonds, when necessary.

Note 14. Deficits and Management Plans:

As shown in the governmental funds balance sheet as of December 31, 2006, total governmental funds undesignated fund balance is $969,562. The share of the undesignated deficit attributable to the general fond and capital projects fund is $3,952,178 and $156,528, respectively. Total fund equity for General Fund was increased by a total of $1,637,147. from $2,315,031 to $3,952,178. This was accomplished because of many issues including staff reductions, increase in real property taxes, other non-property taxes and certain charges and fees. Allegany County also completed the construction of a new Public Safety Complex and Jail in 2006. The County issued bonds to cover the cost of the project in September 2006. The County is continuing its efforts to increase the undesignated fund balance and stabilize financial position.
