RESOLUTIONS:
RESOLUTION
INTRO NO. 41-08 (APPROVAL OF A STATE
LEGISLATIVE BILL WHICH AUTHORIZES THE COUNTY OF ALLEGANY TO REINSTATE ANDREW
CHAMBERLAIN TO A PERMANENT POSITION AS A DEPUTY SHERIFF) was DEFEATED
following a roll call vote of 4 Ayes, 11 Noes, 0 Absent (Voting No: Legislators Benson, Burdick, Fanton, Hopkins,
Kruger, McCormick, O’Grady, Pullen, Russo, Truax, and Ungermann). This action involved Home Rule legislation
that was started in February 2007 (see Resolution Nos. 31-07 and 58-07).
RESOLUTION
NO. 41-08
RESOLUTION URGING THE STATE LEGISLATURE
TO OPPOSE THE PROPOSED SHIFT OF THE STATE’S
HISTORIC SHARE OF
PUBLIC ASSISTANCE TO COUNTIES AND
THE PROPOSED SHIFT OF 100 PERCENT OF COST OF
JUVENILE DETENTION FACILITIES TO COUNTIES
Offered by: Human Services and Ways and Means Committees
WHEREAS, since 1938, counties and New York State have equally shared in the cost
of public assistance at a 50 percent state, 50 percent local split for this
program; and
WHEREAS, the 2008-09 Executive Budget proposes to break this historic
state/local fiscal partnership by shifting an additional 2 percent of the cost
of public assistance from the state to the counties; and
WHEREAS,
according to the 2008-09 Executive Budget proposal, in addition to shifting an
additional 2 percent share of public assistance cost to the counties, effective
April 1, 2008, counties will assume the full cost of youth placed by the Family
Court in secure and non-secure detention facilities; and
WHEREAS, currently, the State reimburses counties 50 percent for secure and
non-secure detention costs, but by shifting the cost completely to counties,
the State’s estimated savings for this initiative is $35.4 million; and
WHEREAS, at the time of this proposal, the State is
currently in the process of closing many of their state owned and operated
secure detention facilities, which will result in immediate state savings, and
WHEREAS, the policy rationale behind this cost-shift is the State’s
recommendation that counties find alternative diversion programs for these
youth, such as community-based solutions, however, there is no possibility of
diversion or other community-based alternatives for a youth who has been placed
in a secure detention facility; and
WHEREAS, these proposals will not result in a
reduction in the overall tax burden faced by New York taxpayers, but merely a
shifting of the tax burden from the state to counties; and
WHEREAS, these budget proposals are examples of a break in the historic
state/local partnership governing such expenditures, where local property taxpayers
will be directly impacted; and
WHEREAS, the local property tax burden will only be
increased by implementation of these proposals and therefore these budget
proposals pose a significant threat to the short and long-term health of both
our state and local economy; now therefore, be it
RESOLVED:
1. That the Allegany County Board of Legislators opposes any policies or
fiscal initiatives, like the proposed increase in the local share for public
assistance and the fiscal shift of 100 percent of the cost of juvenile
detention facilities to counties, that change the fundamental promise Governor
Spitzer made to the counties of New York State about ongoing, historic state
and local partnerships.
2. That the Allegany County Board of Legislators
urges the State Legislature to oppose these policies and to focus on
strengthening, not severing, the local/state partnership while working to reduce the cost of government at all levels.
3. That certified copies of this
resolution be mailed to New York State Governor Eliot Spitzer, Senator
Catharine M. Young, and Assemblymen Daniel J. Burling and Joseph M. Giglio.

Seconded by: Mr. Pullen
Comments made regarding Resolution No.
41-08: Mr. Pullen referred to the historic
relationship between the state and counties that is unique in the nation, which
the state is seeking to change by passing a larger share of the burden to the counties. The counties have no control over benefits or
any other aspects of the programs, although they are becoming the majority
partner in terms of funding. Mr.
McCormick noted that the taxes which fund social programs should not be placed
on property tax payers, but should be funded by income tax or other fees.

NO. 42-08
RESOLUTION CALLING ON THE GOVERNOR AND STATE
LEGISLATURE
TO END THE PRACTICE OF PASSING COSTS FOR
STATE PROGRAMS

Offered by:
Ways and Means Committee
WHEREAS, unfunded
state mandates shift the responsibility and the cost of implementing programs
from the state to the local level and force localities to cut existing services
or raise property and other local taxes to achieve the additional requirements,
and
WHEREAS, state
government leaders have acknowledged that high property taxes are a problem for
residents and businesses in New York State, making the state less attractive
and less competitive, and
WHEREAS, the
Citizens Budget Commission states that local taxes in New York State are 79
percent higher than the national average, and that state laws result in high
local tax burdens, and
WHEREAS, the Tax
Foundation, based in Washington D.C., reports that nine of the top ten counties
nationwide in median real estate taxes as a percentage of median home value are
in New York State, and
WHEREAS, the
Governor has formed a bipartisan commission to make recommendations on a
package of reforms that gets at the root causes of what is driving taxes so
high, including looking at unfunded mandates on both school districts and
municipalities, proposals on how to make our tax relief system fairer to the
middle class taxpayer, and a proposal for a fair and effective cap to hold the
line on school district property taxes, with said commission due to report its
findings in June of this year, and
WHEREAS, the New
York State Association of Counties (NYSAC) has previously recommended that
state policy makers should strive to forge a stronger state/local partnership
by eliminating unnecessary state requirements, make the state more responsive
by requiring state payment of mandates it deems essential, and to establish
alternative methods for performance and implementation, and
WHEREAS, while
awaiting the recommendations of the Governor’s commission on ways to reduce the
high property taxes in New York State, state policy makers should refrain from
making the problem worse by shifting costs from the state’s 2008-2009 budget to
county budgets and our property taxpayers, now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED:
1. That the Allegany County Board of Legislators
urges the Governor and State Legislature to end the practice of passing costs
for state programs to county government and our property taxpayers.
2. That certified copies of this
resolution be mailed to New York State Governor Eliot Spitzer, Senator
Catharine M. Young, and Assemblymen Daniel J. Burling and Joseph M. Giglio.
