Called to Order
Mr. Penniman called the meeting to order at 2:02 p.m.
Changes to the Agenda
Ms. Robertson asked that the Committee discuss the salaries of elected officials if time permitted.
Mr. Penniman called attention to the revised agenda.
Approval of Minutes of May 14, 2002
It was MOVED by Mr. Todd, seconded by Mr. Booth, to approve the minutes of the May 14, 2002 meeting with the changes submitted. MINUTES APPROVED.
Chair's Report
Mr. Penniman reviewed the order in which the Committee would discuss items on the agenda. He also said capital project information is still being formulated and it is not ready for discussion by the Committee; however, there is some information that is known and that can be discussed today. He said a major discussion of capital will begin at the next meeting and will continue through the summer.
Finance Director's Report
Mr. Squires said at the last meeting he reported on April sales tax figures; since that meeting he received the actual statement and even better news. He said for some reason the County has benefited from an unknown movement of sales tax in 1992 in the amount of $108,000. He noted this money belongs exclusively to the County and does not need to be shared with municipalities because when the sales tax was implemented, the agreement stated the County retained all the sales tax for the first six months of that year. Mr. Squires also reported on the foreclosure auction that was recently held and said 25 properties were sold and have been paid for. The net gain for the County from that auction was over $200,000. The budget for this item was $100,000.
County Administrator's Report
Mr. Whicher reported he has been continuing to receive budget information from NYSAC. He said the most recent interpretation is that NYSAC identified some money to restore partial CHIPS O&M money, and that counties have to contact senators to see how to get that money. He said Pete Messmer, Highway Manager will be following up on this.
Deputy County Administrator's Report
Mrs. Smithers had no report.
RESOLUTION NO. -
ESTABLISHMENT OF GUIDELINES AND FISCAL TARGETS FOR ALL COUNTY BUDGETING
UNITS FOR THE PREPARATION OF
THE 2003 BUDGET
MOVED by Ms. McBean, seconded by Mr. Booth.
Ms. Robertson said she objects to talking about this amount of reduction in target before the capital program has been examined. She said she understands that the schedule needs to proceed; however, she cannot support this amount of target. Mr. Penniman said the target is just a guideline for budget submissions and anything can still be submitted above that target. He said a number of Board members have been looking at the capital program and finding savings. He said it might be possible to try to put a rough dollar amount on that or apply the same percent reduction to the capital program goal.
Ms. Kiefer said she agreed with Ms. Robertson. She highlighted some of the capital program changes the Board is aware of, and said she hopes some of this information could be considered in the Committee's discussion and result in a lower target. The items under consideration of being delayed are Ellis Hollow Road, Hanshaw Road, and the Aquifer Study. Mr. Penniman said these projects total approximately $500,000, which is less than a three percent effect on the tax rate.
Mr. Joseph said he expects this Committee will consider a resolution that would amend the Capital Program to reflect the changes that have been discussed. He stated it is important to understand what the target means when thinking about establishing it. He said it doesn't affect what comes in the target, but what becomes an over-target request. It is not a question about how deep the Board is going to cut a budget but how deep it is going to look. Mr. Joseph said it has been his experience that when doing this you should look deeper than you want to cut, and in some departments it will be deeper than others. Mr. Whicher reminded the Committee that there is another five percent expense because of the contractual salary increases.
A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 4, Noes - 1 (Robertson). MOTION CARRIED.
WHEREAS, the Tompkins County Fiscal Policy specifies that a fiscal target is the maximum amount of general revenue spending authority that a department head or program director may request without initiating an Over-Target Request, and changes in fiscal targets should be communicated to department heads and program directors as timely as possible in order for them to submit their budget requests by July 5, 2001, and
WHEREAS, the Board of Representatives wishes to establish targets
for departments and agencies in preparing 2003 budget requests, now therefore
be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Capital Committee,
That fiscal targets for all budgeting units, excluding Tompkins Cortland
Community College and Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit, for preparation
of the 2003 budget are hereby established as follows:
1. For not-for-profit agency grants, the amount approved in the 2002
adopted budget less any over-target funding designated as one-time less
any funds reappropriated from previous years less 20 percent of the calculated
local share.
2. For Towns and Villages applying for reimbursement for County-wide
services, and for Human Service, and Criminal Justice agencies receiving
reimbursement pursuant to the Sales Tax Agreement between the County and
City of Ithaca, the fiscal target shall be equal to the current year appropriation
minus any one-time adjustments for prior years.
3. For all County departments, an amount equal to the general revenue
portion of the 2002 adopted County budget, less any over-target funding
designated as one-time less any funds reappropriated from previous years
less 20 percent of the calculated local share.
SEQR ACTION: TYPE II-20
MOVED by Mr. Booth, seconded by Ms. McBean.
Mr. Penniman asked Mr. Whicher to comment on this. Mr. Whicher said the Board needs to be realistic on what the expectations are. Although he thinks it is laudable to have a goal set which he willl report monthly to the Committee on, he doesn't want to give the impression that he will be going to departments "collecting erasers" and cutting back on spending that way. He said he would be working with departments, asking them to identify what savings they can produce this year. Ms. McBean asked what would happen to this unspent money. Mr. Whicher said it will remain in departmental budgets and will become excess funds at the end of the year, as opposed to reducing their spending authority which would then return it back to the General Fund. Mr. Booth urged Mr. Whicher to see this as more than a reporting mechanism, but as requiring innovation and cooperative leadership with departments.
Ms. Robertson called attention to a recent Sheriff's Department's containing several pages of colored printing. She said although color sometimes adds to the information provided, it is not usually necessary, and therefore, it adds unneeded expense; this is an example of a place to economize.
Mr. Winch said the Health and Human Services Committee deals primarily in service delivery, and questioned how significant savings could be achieved in these departments that have reimbursable money for expenditures. He suggested things such as delaying equipment purchases and requiring additional approval for conferences to save money because he doesn't think there can be savings without impacting human service delivery.
Mr. Joseph said part of the reason for asking the County Administrator to identify savings is because across-the-board cuts are not appropriate. This is an attempt to identify where savings be achieved reasonably. He said because of the target and 20 percent scenarios, he feels the message has already been delivered that some services are going to be cut or eliminated.
A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 5, Noes - 0.
MOTION CARRIED.
WHEREAS, Tompkins County is experiencing increasing shortfalls in anticipated
State and Federal Aid, caseload increases in mandated services and a significant
reduction in available surplus funds, and
WHEREAS, it is evident that without procedures for an immediate reduction
in spending in the current and subsequent year’s budgets the County will
face a rise in property tax rates to an unprecedented level, and
WHEREAS, Department and Agency Heads have begun to anticipate the impending
fiscal situation and take whatever steps they can to assist in recommendations
related to their specific program areas, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Capital Committee, That
for budget year 2002 the County Administrator shall work with department
heads to identify potential savings in all County departments,
RESOLVED, further, That the County Administrator is asked to work with
departments and program committees to identify an overall spending reduction
goal of $1,000,000 and to monitor the progress of departments toward meeting
that goal, and to report on that progress periodically to the Budget and
Capital Committee.
SEQR ACTION: TYPE II-20
RESOLUTION NO. - REQUEST THE STATE OF NEW YORK TO EXAMINE THE FUNDING OF THE EVOLVING HEALTHCARE SYSTEM AND TO ASSUME THE COUNTY SHARE OF MEDICAID COSTS
MOVED by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Mr. Todd. It was noted
that although programs differ by state, New York and California are the
only two states that do not pay for Medicaid-type programs. A voice
vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 5, Noes - 0. MOTION CARRIED.
WHEREAS, the State of New York participates with and administers the
Federally mandated Medicaid Program, a healthcare initiative covering medically
related expenses incurred by the economically disadvantaged of the state,
and
WHEREAS, the Counties of the State of New York fund, along with the State
of New York, the operations of the Medicaid Program, and
WHEREAS, New York is only one of two states that impose a share
of these costs on counties, and
WHEREAS, the Medicaid Program is apparently the default payer
for many developing programs of Health Insurance coverage, i.e.: Child-Health
Plus, Family Health Plus, Early Intervention, Pre-K Special Education Program,
the Children with Special Healthcare Needs Program, and the ever-expanding
number of facilities and services, provided by Article 28 facilities which
are licensed and approved by the New York State Department of Health to
provide health care and dental services in New York State, and
WHEREAS, it has become evident that the number of these services,
insurance programs, and facilities is increasing, and will continue to
increase under pressures to cover a wider scope of the population of the
State of New York and its needs, and
WHEREAS, information from the New York State Association of Counties
indicates that county governments throughout New York State will be mandated
to assume new costs for the various medical programs that would approach
$400 million over a three-year period, and
WHEREAS, federal officials have stated in recent public pronouncements
that the federal government will not significantly increase Medicaid reimbursement
to help defray the additional expenses Counties face, and
WHEREAS, the current level of taxation of properties made necessary
by Counties’ operating budgets under numerous State mandates is currently
the single most identified deterrent to economic growth and development
of the Counties of this State, and
WHEREAS, the Medicaid share of the current total County property
tax burden is now approaching 138 percent, and
WHEREAS, the burden of Medicaid expenditures to help finance new health
programs can no longer be borne by the property taxpayers of Tompkins County,
now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Capital Committee,
That the County of Tompkins urges that the State of New York re-examine
the fiscal results of funding this evolving Healthcare System with an appropriate
consideration given to the constraints and consequences of County real
property taxation,
RESOLVED, further, That the County of Tompkins urges that the State
of New York, with no undue delay, assume the County share of all Medicaid
expenses,
RESOLVED, further, That the Clerk of this Legislature is hereby directed
to forward a certified copy of this resolution to the Governor of the State
of New York, the Comptroller of the State of New York, the Speaker of the
Assembly, the Majority Leader of the Senate, Senator John R. Kuhl, Jr.,
Senator James Seward, Assemblyman Martin Luster, the Board Chairs of all
County Legislatures, New York States Association of Counties (NYSAC) and
the Inter-County Association of Western New York.
SEQR ACTION: TYPE II-20
RESOLUTION NO. - AMENDMENT TO FISCAL POLICY 05-02, SECTION 5.06 REAPPROPRIATION (CARRYOVER) OF UNSPENT FUNDS FROM PREVIOUS YEARS
MOVED by Mr. Booth, seconded by Mr. Todd. Mr. Booth said he asked that this resolution be brought before the Committee. He said when the Fiscal Policy was written and the notion of rollover was created, there was never any direction given if a request was turned down; whether it remained eligible for a future request or whether it was returned to the General Fund. He said as the Board begins to consider rollover requests, this question should be answered. This proposal says that when a request is denied, that the money would remain eligible to the department for future requests. Mr. Booth said he will support this, although he has a conflict with the principle of rollover funds. Mr. Todd said at some point in the future the Board will need to take another look at the entire rollover issue. He said he will support this resolution because he believes this is the wrong time to change the policy.
A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 5, Noes - 0.
MOTION CARRIED.
WHEREAS, the Fiscal Policy 05-02, Section 5.06 addresses the procedure
by which certified year-end funds may be appropriated for use by departments,
and
WHEREAS, it has been the Board’s intent to approve requests in
order to provide departments with flexibility through the elimination of
artificial boundaries (such as year-end), to reward efficiencies, and to
eliminate incentives for “use it or lose it” spending practices,
and
WHEREAS, this policy does not address procedures in the event
that the Board denies a request for use of unspent funds from previous
years, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Budget and Capital Committee,
That effective immediately, it shall be the Board’s intent to allow departments
to have certified unspent funds remain eligible from previous years when
the specified use of the funds is denied,
RESOLVED, further, That the Fiscal Policy 05-02 be amended to
reflect this intent.
SEQR ACTION: TYPE II-20
County department heads are authorized to request reappropriation of unspent funds from the previous year provided that they are certified by the Director of Finance to be available and provided that this reappropriation is authorized by the established appropriation procedures of the Board of Representatives.
Normally, the Board intends to approve requests to reappropriate unspent funds in order to (1) provide department heads with the flexibility to use funds wisely, regardless of arbitrary boundaries between budget years, (2) reward efficiency, and (3) not create incentives for "use it or lose it" spending.
There are three ways funds can be reappropriated: a) by changing the current and the following year budget; b) by using previous year’s surplus funds in the subsequent year’s budget; and c) by reappropriating previous year’s surplus funds into the current year’s budget after the County Board has voted to adopt the following year’s budget.
USE OF ANTICIPATED CURRENT YEAR'S SURPLUS FUNDS IN THE SUBSEQUENT YEAR'S BUDGET.
1) The budgeting unit may submit a request as part of its annual budget
proposal that identifies funds that will not be spent in the current fiscal
year, and requests that these funds be authorized for spending in the next
year. This procedure requires an over-target request which stipulates
that anticipated surplus funds for the current year will be returned to
the General Fund. The funds so designated must be identified separately
from the rest of the program's authorized spending for the next year, and
an explanation provided of why there is this change in the budget spending
plan. In the event that this request is denied the funds remain available
to be spent during the current fiscal year.
2) If this request is approved by the Board of Representatives the
funds that are the subject of the request are no longer authorized to be
spent during the current fiscal year. If the budgeting unit nevertheless
spends some or all of the identified funds in the current fiscal year,
this shall be treated as any other deficit situation (see above at Section
5.04 C).
3) A budgeting unit that has initiated such a request is no longer
authorized to request a contingent fund or fund balance appropriation during
the current year. If events make additional spending necessary during
the current year its first course of action to meet this need shall be
to reduce the next year's budget by the amount of the additional spending
and to expend the funds already appropriated in the current year.
4) If a budgeting unit wishes to request to spend funds projected to
be unspent at year-end in the following year after the program committee
has already acted upon its budget requests it may submit a request to the
County Administrator with a copy to the program committee. The County
Administrator shall assemble all such requests for amendments, recommend
on them, and present them to the budget committee. All proposals
recommended by that committee shall be presented to the Board of Representatives
at the budget adoption meeting as amendments to the proposed County Budget.
NOTE: Funds authorized for use in the subsequent year’s budget
will be requested in an Over-Target Request submitted with the budget request.
The line-item within the budget request will be entitled "Prior Year Rollover"
and will remain isolated on this budget line throughout the budget process.
Upon adoption of the budget, transfer requests may be processed to allocate
these funds to the appropriate spending lines within the program.
B. USE OF PREVIOUS YEAR’S SURPLUS FUNDS IN THE SUBSEQUENT YEAR’S BUDGET
Budgeting units are authorized to request that funds certified by the
Director of Finance to have been left over at December 31 of the previous
fiscal year be authorized for spending in the subsequent fiscal year by
making a request in conjunction with the annual County budget process.
(EXAMPLE: A budgeting unit proposes that funds left over on December
31, 1996 be spent during fiscal 1998 by making a request during the 1998
budget process that occurs in the summer and fall of 1997.)
NOTE: Funds authorized for use in the subsequent years budget will be requested in an over-target request submitted with the budget request……(SEE NOTE IN 'A' ABOVE).
In the event that the Over-Target Request is denied, the unspent funds shall remain eligible by the department for future reappropriation requests.
C. REAPPROPRIATION
1) SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS. Proposals to reappropriate unspent funds from the previous year into the current year budget must be submitted through established procedures for approval of appropriations prior to establishing Fiscal Targets for the subsequent year.
In the event that the Over-Target Request is denied, the unspent funds
shall remain eligible by the department for future reappropriation requests.
2) ELIGIBILITY. All unspent funds are eligible to be reappropriated
by the processes above except funds that result from savings in Class A
mandates and capital program spending.
The following sources of unspent funds are eligible to be reappropriated, but must be explicitly identified for Board of Representatives review by department heads and the County Administrator:
a) increases in state or federal aid levels;
b) single events or changes that result in surpluses greater than $50,000;
c) positions that remain vacant for longer than six months;
d) fees charged to other County departments;
e) fees charged to the public;
f) departmental errors.
RESOLUTION NO. - BUDGETING
UNIT RECONFIGURATION CHANGE AND FISCAL TARGET ADJUSTMENT – MENTAL HEALTH
AND PUBLIC SAFETY
MOVED by Mr. Booth, seconded by Ms. McBean. Mr. Penniman
asked members to review a memorandum prepared by Commissioner DeLuca in
which Mr. DeLuca explained the County contracts with BOCES to provide the
program during the County fiscal year, with a budget of $31,000.
BOCES has indicated that they want to terminate this contract, effective
July 1, 2002. For 2002, the Mental Health Department is proposing
to provide the program and is requesting the unspent monies be transferred
to the Department's budget ($15,000). This would translate to a target
increase of the full current contract annual amount of $31,000. For
2003, the budget scenario requires Mental Health to cut $110,000 from its
request for County dollars. They are proposing that the budget for
DOORS, since it is 100 percent County-funded, be cut and that the program
be absorbed into the Clinic which has the ability to generate other revenue.
It was the consensus of the Committee to remove the one-year sunset date
and to restore the second Resolved, which was removed by the Public Safety
Committee.
A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 5, Noes - 0. MOTION CARRIED.
WHEREAS, TST-BOCES has notified the County that they will discontinue
their supervision of the Domestic Offense Offender Reeducation Services
(D.O.O.R.S.) program effective June 30, 2002, and
WHEREAS, Mental Health has agreed to incorporate the D.O.O.R.S.
program into their clinic services effective July 1, 2002, now therefore
be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Public Safety, Health and
Human Services, and Budget and Capital Committees, That effective July
1, 2002, the D.O.O.R.S. program 4506 shall be transferred from Public Safety
as a stand-alone program to a Clinic Services Program 0736 within the Mental
Health budget,
RESOLVED, further, That the 2003 Mental Health Fiscal Target
shall be increased by $31,411,
RESOLVED, further, That the Director of Finance be authorized
and directed to make the following budget adjustment:
FROM: A6314.54400 D.O.O.R.S. Program Expense
$15,705
TO: A4311.54400 Mental Health Clinic
$15,705
SEQR ACTION: TYPE II-20
RESOLUTION NO. - BUDGETING UNIT RECONFIGURATION CHANGE AND FISCAL TARGET ADJUSTMENT – CRIMINAL JUSTICE AGENCIES
MOVED by Mr. Booth, seconded by Mr. Todd, and unanimously adopted by voice vote.
WHEREAS, the Criminal Justice agencies have been previously reviewed
within the Department of Administration, and
WHEREAS, the Criminal Justice component of Administration has been
eliminated, and
WHEREAS, the Human Services Coalition will include the agency review
process with their normal annual review process of not-for-profit agencies,
now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Public Safety, the Health
and Human Services, and the Budget and Capital Program Committees, That
effective with the 2003 budget, the following Budgeting Units will be re-assigned
to the Basic Subsistence Program – BU#6305 with a commensurate re-distribution
of fiscal targets:
Offender Aid & Restoration (OAR) – BU#6315 - $76,476
Offender Aid & Restoration (OAR) – Bail Fund – BU#6316 - $62,232
Community Dispute Resolution Center (CDRC) – BU#6313 - $45,815
SEQR ACTION: TYPE II-20
EXPLANATION:
These programs were part of the Human Services Coalition review process.
Under the guidance of Bill Benjamin, Deputy County Administrator for Criminal
Justice (now retired), these programs were removed from the Coalition review
and placed under the review process of the Criminal Justice Program.
In the absence of an in-house Criminal Justice Program, the Coalition has
agreed to return these agencies to their agency review process, as
before.

RESOLUTION NO. - AUTHORIZATION FOR PROGRAM RECONFIGURATION CHANGE – PLANNING DEPARTMENT
MOVED by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Ms. McBean, and unanimously
adopted by voice vote.
WHEREAS, the Planning Department is divided into four program
areas under one Budgeting Unit known as Planning, and
WHEREAS, the current program configuration is artificial in that
the Planning Department operates as a single unit and the specified program
areas do not reflect the mission or functions of the Department as it is
currently organized, and
WHEREAS, the current program configuration has caused confusion
during the budget review process in that positions work across all program
areas and cannot be identified with any single program, now therefore be
it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Planning and the Budget and
Capital Committees, That the following programs be combined to form one
program known as Program 2820 “Planning”:
Program 2800 Community Planning Services
` Program 2805 Grant Management
Program 2810 Advisory Board Support
` Program 2815 Coordination of Services
SEQR ACTION: TYPE II-20
RESOLUTION NO. - AUTHORIZATION FOR FISCAL TARGET CHANGE – SHERIFF AND JAIL
MOVED by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Ms. McBean. Mr. Whicher stated that by shifting money from the Sheriff's side to the Jail, the amount subject to a fiscal target reduction will be reduced. Mr. Joseph explained that approving this resolution would do neither harm nor good. If approved, however, the Board may begin seeing repeated efforts to move other things to the jail side of the Department.
A voice vote resulted as follows: Ayes - 1 (Booth); Noes - 4 (McBean, Penniman, Robertson, and Todd. MOTION FAILED.
WHEREAS, the Sheriff and Undersheriff divide their time equally
between Sheriff functions and Jail functions, and
WHEREAS, both salaries are currently budgeted in the Sheriff
Budgeting Unit, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of Public Safety Committee, That the 2003
Fiscal Target for the Sheriff be reduced by $82,850 with a commensurate
increase in the Jail Fiscal Target.
SEQR ACTION: TYPE II-20
RESOLUTION NO. - ESTABLISHING 2003 FRINGE BENEFITS PAYMENT RATE
MOVED by Mr. Booth, seconded by Ms. McBean. Ms. Robertson requested that this resolution be revised to include a more detailed explanation. A special committee meeting was scheduled on June 4 at 4:30 p.m. to reconsider this resolution. Both the mover and seconder agreed to withdraw their motion.
Recess
Mr. Penniman declared recess from 3:50 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
RESOLUTION NO. - BUDGET ADJUSTMENT AND APPROPRIATION OF UNSPENT GENERAL FUNDS FROM 2001 TO VARIOUS ACCOUNTS
WHEREAS, various departments have been certified by the Director
of Finance to have unspent appropriations and excess revenues from 2001
resulting in a surplus on the County’s books as of December 31, 2001, and
WHEREAS, pursuant to County Fiscal Policy, surplus funds may be requested
for use in the current or following year budget, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, on recommendation of the Health and Human Services, Public
Safety, Government Operations, and Budget and Capital Committees, That
the following transactions are approved:

$344,480
MOVED by Mr. Todd, seconded by Ms. McBean. It was MOVED by Ms. Robertson, to amend this amount by adding $10,000 for the purchase of Personal Emergency Response Service units. Mrs. Smithers explained that this ended up in the Sheriff's budget and not the Office for the Aging because the Sheriff had surplus and the Office for the Aging did not. Mrs. Smithers suggested that the purchase of these be addressed in the Office for the Aging's 2003 budget. MOTION FAILED DUE TO LACK OF A SECOND. A voice vote on the original motion resulted as follows: Ayes - 5, Noes - 0.
Sheriff - Radio Equipment 3110.52222 33,700 $ 33,700
MOVED by Ms. McBean, seconded by Mr. Booth. Mr. Penniman
said the Fiscal Management Committee had a lengthy discussion about whether
there was any way to get out of doing this and felt there was no alternative.
Ms. McBean said when all other departments are facing drastic budget reductions,
it is very difficult to support a department getting this type of increase
in the number of positions.. Other committee members agreed with
Ms. McBean's comments but felt there was no other option because this is
being ordered by the Commission of Corrections. A voice vote
