Comments made regarding Resolution No. 106-09 included:

 

Legislator Dibble voiced his support for the first two resolutions, as they will help to address parking problems, both ongoing problems and those resulting from the Court addition.

 

Legislator O’Grady spoke against the resolution because he hasn’t seen a concrete plan of the end result for Court Street.  Mr. O’Grady noted that he’s heard there may be additional plans.  If there was a concrete plan, he possibly could support this.  There may also be other options.  Maybe the answer to alleviating the parking problem is relocating some departments to other locations, which may be just as cheap as acquiring the properties, taking them off the tax roll, and making parking areas.

 

Legislator Ungermann commented that although there’s always been a parking problem, it will be exacerbated by the Court addition.  According to the SEQR process, the parking issue should have been included in the negative declaration and it wasn’t.  The matter should be returned to the table until a full review is done.  There isn’t a complete plan yet, and now we will be affecting the environment of the entire neighborhood.  Also, some of the properties are very old.  Prior to purchasing, there should be a letter from the NYS Office of Historic Preservation releasing the properties.  This issue should have been included with the original Court facilities SEQR process, so Mr. Ungermann felt that the way the law reads, the project had been segmented.

 

Legislator Pullen commented that as Mr. Ungermann has done in the past, he brings things up without doing his homework.  On this matter, he doesn’t know what he is talking about.  The SEQR process has been done specifically for this.  It was not segmented because this option for parking had not been considered at the time the SEQR for the Courthouse was completed.  Other methods for addressing parking concerns were looked at, and this appears to be a reasonable and viable approach.  Mr. Pullen was confident that the SEQR will hold up to scrutiny; this is just another attempt to stall moving ahead with the current plan.  The SEQR has been done, it was reviewed and scrutinized, and a negative declaration was adopted.  Mr. Pullen noted that he’s comfortable with continuing ahead and felt this was the most reasonable and effective way to address the parking issue.  There are specific details to be resolved, and no plans have been set on materials to be used for the parking areas.  These issues will be considered in committee.  Mr. Pullen reiterated that the proposed resolution is appropriate and has gone through the proper channels.

 

Legislator Kruger disagreed with Mr. Pullen, expressing his opinion that it is unreasonable to consider building a new Court facility while leaving the equivalent of three gymnasiums empty on the third floor.  It’s unreasonable to exacerbate the parking problem by replacing part of the existing parking lot with a new building.  It’s unreasonable to leave a facility like the Belmont school empty with 150 paved parking spots.  Mr. Kruger noted that he attended most of the Court Facilities Committee meetings and requested numerous times that parking be addressed, but instead of completely looking into all options, very little time was spent on it.  Also, we have not heard from the Genesee Valley School District or the Town of Amity or the Village of Belmont on the affects these property purchases will have on the tax roll.  We’re taking away from their tax base.  This resolution is adding the expense of parking to the $13 million cost of the Court project already being added to the debt of the County, while taking away the means to pay for it.  Mr. Kruger felt the action was irresponsible and unreasonable.

 

Chairman Crandall clarified that the SEQR process has been reviewed by the County Attorney who offered his assurance that the process was legal and proper.  Chairman Crandall responded to Mr. Kruger’s statement regarding discussion in committee meetings on property and parking by pointing out that a lot of discussion took place in executive session.

 

 

            Resolution Intro. No. 107-09 (Authorizing the Purchase of Property from Charles and Gloria Tronetti Located in Belmont, New York) was removed from the table following a motion made by Legislator Pullen, seconded by Legislator Reynolds and carried on a roll call vote of 8 Ayes, 7 Noes, 0 Absent (opposed:  Burdick, Kruger, McCormick, O’Grady, Russo, Truax, Ungermann).  The resolution was originally tabled on June 8, 2009.

 

RESOLUTION NO. 107-09

 

RATIFYING BOARD CHAIRMAN’S SIGNATURE AND

AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF PROPERTY FROM

CHARLES AND GLORIA TRONETTI LOCATED IN BELMONT, NEW YORK

 

Offered by:  Ways and Means Committee

 

            WHEREAS, the County of Allegany desires to purchase property located at 25 Court Street, in the Village of Belmont, New York from the Tronettis, now, therefore, be it

 

            RESOLVED:

 

            1.         That the Board of Legislators does authorize the purchase of property by the County of Allegany from the Tronettis located at 25 Court Street, Belmont, New York for the sum of $82,000.

           

            2.         That the signature of the Chairman of the Allegany County Board of Legislators is ratified.

                                                                                                                       Russo, Truax, Ungermann

 

Comments made regarding Resolution No. 107-09 included:

 

Legislator Kruger pointed out that the County had $118,000 in the former Belmont school and gave it away for $1.

 

Legislator Ungermann noted that the same comments he offered for Resolution No. 106-09 applied to this resolution as well.

 

Legislator Burdick noted that he couldn’t see where parking down the hill would be the most efficient way to go.  There’s been talk of a shuttle bus, but with the winter weather, walking up would create nothing but hazards.  Mr. Burdick suggested that maybe we should look at moving some offices off the hill instead of adding to the parking problem.

 

 

            RESOLUTION INTRO. NO. 116-09 (RESOLUTION MODIFYING THE PROVISION OF HEALTH INSURANCE FOR COUNTY LEGISLATORS BY REQUIRING A LEGISLATOR TO CONTRIBUTE ONE-HALF THE COST THEREOF) WAS REFERRED TO THE PERSONNEL COMMITTEE following a motion made by Legislator O’Grady, seconded by Legislator Reynolds and carried.  Comments made prior to the motion to refer included:

 

Legislator O’Grady explained the reason he introduced the resolution was to ensure there would be some sort of fair action taken on the health insurance issue.  It’s an issue of concern for some taxpayers.  If he had brought it up at a Personnel Committee meeting, he wasn’t sure it would be addressed.  It’s not being presented as a big cost savings, but the County is asking full-time employees and department heads to contribute more, and Mr. O’Grady felt the Legislators should lead by example.  Maybe 50 percent isn’t the answer, but there aren’t many part-time jobs in the County that receive medical benefits.  Although Legislators are technically full-time, taxpayers consider them part-time.

 

Legislator Ungermann read from a University of Buffalo Regional Institute Policy Brief received in January 2009, entitled “The End of Local Government as We Know It,” which addressed the non-pension retirement liabilities of New York’s local governments and the choices they will have to make that could change the face of local government.  Excerpts:   “For municipalities with the largest retiree liabilities, the promise of lifetime health care for workers … is a major contributor.  …These governments are caught in a bind similar to many older companies with unsustainable obligations.  …Striking a workable balance that treats employees and retirees fairly while doing the same for taxpayers is ideal.  But if a balance cannot be reached, radical measures – bankruptcy, consolidation, or some other substantial restructuring – may be inevitable.”  Mr. Ungermann disagreed with Mr. O’Grady about the cost savings, as he feels this proposal could save between $50,000 and $60,000 per year.  Mr. Ungermann also read from a book written by Lee Iacocca, entitled “Where Have All the Leaders Gone?” a section called, “Share the Sacrifice.”  The article encouraged that sacrifice begin at the top.  Mr. Ungermann referred to a previous discussion about negotiating union contracts and more contributions, and related that Mr. Fanton said unless you have a hammer to hold over their heads, you won’t get anything.  Mr. Ungermann commented that this proposal would be the beginning of the hammer.  It’s a start.

 

Legislator Fanton responded that his statements were not as Mr. Ungermann presented.  He didn’t say you wouldn’t get anything; his point was that the County doesn’t have the same hammer that industry does.  You can’t move the County; industry can get up and move.  The County has to use negotiations, and that’s what we’re doing.

 

Legislator Pullen commented that this is an important issue and deserves debate.  As was the case with the proposal to reduce the size of the Legislature, it’s not as simple as it seems.  There are some things that need to be considered.  Washington is proposing a national health care plan.  If that proposal is implemented, we won’t have the option to cancel medical insurance for any employees.  Before the County does anything that may or may not save money, we should wait to see what happens there.  One draft of the plan will require employers to provide health benefits for all employees with no exceptions.  Another issue is that the state will be addressing some concerns with state retirement where every official with no set schedule of work hours must maintain time records for a given length of time that are certified to indicate they are typical.  The board would then need to establish a standard time allocation for this position.  These issues are already being considered at the federal and state levels and could make this proposed resolution a moot issue.  There are other issues Mr. Pullen would like to see considered in detail by an entity like the Personnel Committee, such as if single coverage could be provided with the employee picking up the difference for family coverage, or other percentages for contributions.  It’s also unusual to have part-time positions with benefits, and the amount of time spent by Legislators varies widely.  There are medical insurance plan changes being looked at now that would apply to all Legislators, and we are starting at the top.  It’s an extremely complex issue with a significant financial impact, and it deserves more discussion.  Mr. Pullen noted that Mr. Ungermann chose to read an article about retiree health insurance, and the proposed resolution doesn’t even address that.  That would be a totally separate and thornier issue than current employee benefits.

 

Legislator Russo noted that this is not the first time this issue has come up.  Several years ago time was spent with non-unit employees and Legislators to come up with a fair number for health benefit contribution.  A committee was appointed, and they arrived at $25 per month, which Mr. Russo felt was very low.  If the proposal goes to Personnel, they need to look at the entire issue for non-unit staff and Legislators.  Mr. Russo also noted that if 50 percent of the cost of health insurance is taken from Legislators who are only making $8,500 per year, they won’t be making much.

 

Legislator Kruger pointed out that an ad hoc committee discussed the health insurance contribution issue in the past.  Both he and Mr. Ungermann referred to articles written on the topic, one dated August 14, 2007 by Mr. Pullen and one dated March 29, 2006 by Mr. Ungermann.  Nothing has been accomplished.  It’s nearly the end of the term, and Mr. Kruger would like to see some progress for the taxpayers’ sake.

 

 

            RESOLUTION INTRO. NO. 117-09 (CREATING POSITION OF CASEWORKER IN THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES) WAS WITHDRAWN following a motion made by Legislator Truax, seconded by Legislator Dibble and carried.  The position would have assisted Child Protective Services staff by providing preventive services to identified families.  Anticipated funding from the New York State Office of Children and Family Services for Family Assessment Response workers did not come through.

 

 

            Resolution Intro. No. 118-09 (Creating One New Part-Time Position of Senior Account Clerk Typist in the Sheriff’s Department) was amended on a motion made by Legislator Dibble, seconded by Legislator Fanton and carried, by adding the statement, “That a maximum of seventeen hours per week is authorized for this position.”

 

RESOLUTION NO. 108-09

 

CREATING ONE NEW PART-TIME POSITION OF

SENIOR ACCOUNT CLERK TYPIST IN THE SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT

 

Offered by:  Public Safety Committee

 


            RESOLVED:

 

            1.         That one new part-time position of Senior Account Clerk Typist is created in the Sheriff’s Department.

 

            2.         That a maximum of seventeen hours per week is authorized for this position.

 

            3.         This resolution shall take effect on June 23, 2009.

 

            Moved by:  Mr. Dibble                                                                                 Adopted:  Roll Call

            Seconded by:  Mr. Reynolds                                                         15 Ayes, 0 Noes, 0 Absent

 

(Memo:  The part-time position created by Resolution No. 108-09 was needed to supplement the Civil Office.  Income Executions are up 17 percent over last year, as is other work associated with the office.  Due to the economic situation, these numbers are expected to continue to rise.  Also, the current Clerk of the Civil Office is the only person on staff with an understanding of the duties of the position.  The Sheriff’s Office would be in dire straits should the current Clerk become unavailable.  No benefits will be associated with this position.)

 

RESOLUTION NO. 109-09

 

GRANTING SALARY INCREMENTS EFFECTIVE JULY 1, 2009,

TO UNIT AND NON-UNIT EMPLOYEES

 

Offered by:  Personnel Committee

 

Pursuant to Resolution No. 1-69, as amended, and Resolution No. 297-75, as amended

 

            WHEREAS, eight County unit and non-unit employees are eligible to receive an annual salary increment effective July 1, 2009, and

 

            WHEREAS, the proper County department heads have recommended that such employees receive their respective annual salary increment effective July 1, 2009, having been satisfied, after review, with each of such employees’ service, with attention having been given to the efficiency with which each of such employees has performed his or her respective duties, as well as the attendance record of each and all other factors having an effect on the work record of each, and

 

            WHEREAS, this Board concurs in such recommendation, now, therefore, be it

 

            RESOLVED:

 

            1.         That the following listed employees are granted their respective annual increment effective July 1, 2009, to wit:

 


            Department                            Name                          Title                                         Increment

            County Clerk                          Darcelle Hyslip          Index Clerk                             $.33/hour

            Office for Aging                     Kathleen Jones         Typist                                      $.27/hour

 

            Moved by:  Mr. Hall                                                                                      Adopted:  Roll Call

            Seconded by:  Mr. Pullen                                                              12 Ayes, 3 Noes, 0 Absent                 Voting No:  Kruger, Russo, Ungermann

 

Comments made regarding Resolution No. 109-09 included:  Legislator Kruger voiced his opposition due to the inclusion of both unit and non-unit positions in the same resolution.  The County is bound under contract for unit position salary increments, but is not bound for non-unit positions; they should be handled separately.

RESOLUTION NO. 112-09

 

ACCEPTANCE OF INSURANCE PAYMENTS FROM NYMIR AND

APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS TO RISK RETENTION ACCOUNTS

 

Offered by:  Ways and Means Committee

 

            WHEREAS, a check in the amount of $208, representing the full cost to replace a broken windshield on a County 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer has been offered by NYMIR in settlement for such property damage, which occurred on May 14, 2009, and

 

            WHEREAS, a check in the amount of $4,970.16, representing the reimbursable expenses associated with repairs at the Cuba-Friendship Transfer Station, stemming from an accident on December 24, 2008, has been offered by NYMIR in settlement for such property damage, now, therefore, be it

 

            RESOLVED:

 

            1.         That insurance payments totaling $5,178.16 from NYMIR representing the cost of replacing a broken window and reimbursable expenses with the Cuba-Friendship Transfer Station are accepted.

 

            2.         That the sum of $5,178.16 is appropriated to Account No. CS1931.429 (Risk Retention – Uninsured Property Loss) with a like sum credited to Revenue Account No. CS07.2680 (Risk Retention – Insurance Recovery).

 

            Moved by:  Mr. Reynolds                                                                             Adopted:  Roll Call

            Seconded by:  Mr. Pullen                                                              15 Ayes, 0 Noes, 0 Absent

 

AUDITS:

 

            A motion was made by Legislator Truax, seconded by Legislator Dibble 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, 1 No, 0 Absent, that the audit of claims, totaling $1,531,960.38 including prepaid expenses, be approved for payment as recommended by the County Administrator.  (Opposed:  Kruger.)  (Allegany County’s Local Dollar Share of the NYS Medicaid Program paid year-to-date is $3,944,028.)

 

COMMENTS:

 

            Legislator Pullen commented on some information provided by the Deputy County Treasurer on health insurance costs for 2003 through 2008.  Costs have gone up for most years, but the total dropped 12.5 percent from 2007 to 2008, or almost $1 million.  The reduction may have been partially due to decreased usage, but was also significantly related to the change in third party administrators.  That change was implemented by this Board.  Last year was the first time we saw the benefit of that change.  It’s uncertain whether there will be a cash savings for 2009, but in looking at the increases for the past several years, lately there has been a noticeable lack of increase or actual decrease in health insurance costs.  Mr. Pullen noted that on June 29, a consultant from Manning and Napier will answer questions on proposed changes in the basic health insurance plan for non-unit personnel including Legislators.  The sooner we implement the change, the sooner we will see additional savings.  Legislator Kruger commented that during negotiations back in 1994, the AFSCME Union brought in insurance representatives to propose similar savings, and the Board turned it down.

 

ADJOURNMENT:  The meeting was adjourned at 3:00 p.m. on a motion made by Legislator Truax, seconded by Legislator Dibble and carried.
