Whereas, The Consolidated Highway Improvement Program (CHIPs) was created in the state fiscal year 1981-1982 for the purposes of replacing a dedicated stream of motor vehicle registration fees and taxes which counties had been receiving; and

Whereas, CHIPs funding is based on a statutory formula using the number of county specific motor vehicle registrations and number of center line mileage; and

Whereas, notwithstanding the statutory formula, CHIPs payments have not been consistent and are subject to annual budget appropriations by the Governor and State Legislature; and

Whereas, Governor Pataki has proposed to eliminate the county share of CHIPs preventive maintenance funding of approximately $35 Million in his Executive Budget Proposal for the State Fiscal Year 2000-2001; and

Whereas, the Governor targeted the elimination of CHIPs maintenance funding for counties only and has preserved the funding for towns, cities (except New York City) and villages; and

Whereas, a 1999 highway and bridge funding report published by the NYS Association of Counties, NYS Conference of Mayors, NYS Association of Towns, NYS County Highway Superintendents Association and the NYS Town Highway Superintendents Association, identifies a funding shortfall for all municipalities over and above existing levels of nearly $ 9Billion including the City of New York; and

Whereas, instead of eliminating funding for local infrastructure repairs, state funding should be increased significantly:

Therefore Be It Resolved, that the County of Cayuga goes on record urging the CHIPs preventive funding be restored and enhanced and that the CHIPs Capital funding be significantly increased to address local road and bridge deficiencies; and

Be It Further Resolved, that if during the 2000 Legislative Session, the Governor and State Legislature advance a proposed Transportation Bond Act to go before the electorate in November 2000, Cayuga County strongly urges a greater percentage of bond proceeds be dedicated to local government projects; and

Be It Further Resolved, that the Clerk of the County Legislature forward copies of this Resolution to Governor George E. Pataki, Senator Michael Nozzolio, Assemblyman Gary Finch and the New York State Association of Counties and all others deemed appropriate.

RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF THE PROPOSED STATE ASSUMPTION OF LOCAL HCRA 2000 FAMILY HEALTH PLUS COSTS (Majority vote)

BY: Hon. Joseph Michaud, Chairman Ways and Means Committee

WHEREAS, the Medicaid program is the largest and most volatile component of every county budget in New York State; and

WHEREAS, the Medicaid program represents a significant burden on the local real property taxpayer; and

WHEREAS, the Health Care Reform Act of 2000, or HCRA 2000, dramatically changes New York's health care system by creating new comprehensive health care insurance programs for the uninsured, while providing for the financing of New York's hospital system. According to the Governor's office, up to one million people who are currently uninsured could be eligible for coverage under the initiatives financed as part of HCRA 2000; and

WHEREAS, county officials across the state laud the Governor and the Legislature for building upon Child Health Plus to provide health insurance to families and individuals participating in Family Health Plus; and

WHEREAS, HCRA 2000 has created the largest unfounded mandate to be passed to local government in over a decade; and

WHEREAS, under HCRA 2000, county governments will be forced to pay for 25 percent of the cost of the "Family Health Plus" health insurance program and several other mental health and public health initiatives funded through the Medicaid program; and

WHEREAS, it is estimated the counties and the City of New York will be required to spend an additional $340 million in new Medicaid costs over the next four calendar years; and

WHEREAS, since 1995-96, counties and the City of New York have benefited from Medicaid cost containment initiatives put in place and annually renewed as part of the state budget process. Prior year Medicaid cost containment, though important to preserve, has not offset the total annual increase in Medicaid local share. Since these initiatives are already in the "base" for county budgeting purposes, they do not offset the new Medicaid spending caused by the adoption of Family Health Plus; and

WHEREAS, since 1995-96, counties and the City of New York have benefited from Medicaid cost containment initiatives put in place and annually renewed as part of the state budget process. Prior year Medicaid cost containment, though important to preserve, has not offset the total annual increase in Medicaid local share. Since these initiatives are already in the "base" for county budgeting purposes, they do not offset the new Medicaid spending caused by the adoption of Family Health Plus; and

WHEREAS, the Senate majority, Assembly Majority, and Senate Minority have all introduced legislation that would hold counties harmless from the increased Medicaid costs of the Family Health Plus Program; now, therefore be it

RESOLVED, that the County of Cayuga Legislature supports all efforts of the Senate and Assembly to have the state assume the local costs associated with Family Health Plus and eliminate this onerous new unfunded mandate; and be it further

RESOLVED, that the Clerk of the County Legislature shall forward copies of this resolution to Governor George E. Pataki, the New York State Legislature and all others deemed necessary and proper.

WHEREAS, the retail sales to non-Indians by tribally-owned businesses in New York has recently shown significant increases; and

WHEREAS, the efforts at increasing economic activity and development on Indian-owned land and through Indian-owned businesses enhance the likelihood that this trend in increased retail sales to non-Indians will continue in the future; and

WHEREAS, Federal and State law and legal precedent recognize the authority and propriety of collection of sales and other use taxes on sales to non-Indians by Indian and tribally-owned businesses; and

WHEREAS, State and local taxing jurisdictions have a legal right to expect remittance of sales and use tax revenues on sales to non-Indians by Indian and tribally-owned businesses as if the sales had taken place in communities and establishments under their jurisdiction; and

WHEREAS, Indian tribes, nations and Indian-owned businesses in New York State have refused to collect and remit taxes on retail sales to non-Indians; and

WHEREAS, sales and use taxes are critical sources of funding for State and local programs; and

WHEREAS, failure to collect these sales and use taxes will unfairly shift the burden of funding State and local programs to property taxes, other businesses and other taxpayers of New York State; and

WHEREAS, failure to collect and remit sales and other use taxes to local and State governments gives Indian and tribally-owned businesses an unfair advantage in the retail marketplace; and

WHEREAS, Senator Nozzolio has had his proposal to collect these taxes included in the Senate state budget proposal; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, that the County of Cayuga urges that the Governor of the State of New York, the New York State Department of Taxation, the New York State Assembly and the New York State Senate take immediate action to ensure the fair enforcement for the collection of all sales and use taxes on all goods and services sold by Indian and tribally-owned businesses to non-Indians; and be it further

RESOLVED, that sales and use taxes so collected be remitted to the appropriate taxing jurisdiction as if the sales had been consummated in the tax jurisdiction where the Indian and tribally-owned businesses are located; and be it further

RESOLVED, that the Clerk of the County Legislature is directed to send a certified copy of this resolution to Governor George E. Pataki, our State Legislators, the New York State Association of Counties and all others deemed necessary and proper.

RESOLUTION NO. 144-00

BY: DR. WALRATH, Chairman, Health & Human Services Committee.

WHEREAS, legislation was reintroduced in this year’s State Legislative Session, enabling changes which would equate non-charter counties with charter counties, empowering the County Legislature to provide for the appointment and removal of the Director of Community Services (Mental Health Director) rather than the Community Services Board having that authority; and

WHEREAS, although non-charter county government has the final authority to approve contracts and make final funding decisions, county government must accept a Director of Community Services hired by someone else, which results in a lack of direct managerial control over that Director or the decisions he or she makes; and

WHEREAS, over time, through local and Medicaid dollars, counties have assumed more of the costs associated with this statute and, therefore, this Committee feels that county government should have more direct control in the managerial matters associated therewith; and

WHEREAS, Cayuga County has been requested to voice its support for this change (see attached letters); now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, that the CAYUGA COUNTY LEGISLATURE does hereby go on record supporting Senate Bill 4568, as passed, and encourages passage of the corresponding Assembly Bill 8865, presently in committee; and be it further

RESOLVED, that the Clerk of the Legislature is directed to send a certified copy of this resolution to our State Legislators, Governor George Pataki, Assemblyman James Brennan and the New York State Association of Counties.

Chairman Standbrook announced that Sandy Guilliland and Janet Wilbur would be receiving awards on Thursday for their work in the Employment Division of the Human Services Department.

He received correspondence from Ray Sant, Esq. Thanking the Legislature for his appointment to the Cayuga Community College Board of Trustees.

Also received was a letter from former Cayuga County Coroner Janice E. Ross expressing her thanks for the many years that she was with the County.

Legislator Dudley reported that Legislators Day at the Sterling Nature Center would be on June 16, 2000.

Dr. Walrath mentioned that their was a Resolution to be considered this afternoon for a Capital Reserve Fund for the Nursing Home. There is a one time surplus in funding and a revolving fund would benefit the patients of the Nursing Home. He welcomed the new Nursing Home Administrator Mr. Chamberlain and thanked Mr. Chomyk for all of his hard work.

Dr. Golladay introduced Cayuga Community College Trustee Suzanne Westee. The college hosted a Senior Enrichment Day on May 9, 2000. Legislators DeRosa and Palega were in attendance. Graduation was held on May 21, 2000. Chairman Standbrook addressed the 579 graduates. Several alumni received awards including Cayuga County Attorney Tom Stopyra.

Park Maintenance Supervisor Michelle Beilman announced a possible Ground Breaking for the Seawall Project, on June 16, 2000. Work on the seawall has begun and the Crane is being erected. In the beginning of June, there will be a public meeting on the Construction. The Contractor will be using the old Park maintenance building for construction personnel and upon completion of the Seawall the facility will be torn down.

County Attorney Tom Stopyra attended a meeting in Syracuse on this date in reference to the Tobacco Settlement. The meeting was sponsored by the New York State Association of Counties. It was in reference to the Securizitation of Proceeds. The options are to receive a lump sum now to put in escrow to cover the debt or to plan to do a specific project. Three counties have already done it and three more are in the process. Cayuga county would pool with other smaller counties to return a revenue stream. The Master Settlement Agreement provides money based on Cigarette consumption. The less smoking, the less dollars that would be received. The Tobacco companies are looking at bankruptcy protection. In order to maximize the dollars, the bonds need to be tax exempt. In order to accomplish this, the County would have to adopt a Local Law allowing the county to set up a Local Development Corporation., assign the rights to them, have them issue tax exempt bonds, then funnel the money back to the County. A residual revenue stream would provide the money to pay the debt service on the bonds. A Delaware Business Trust would be set up for tax purposes.

A Present Dollar Value Analysis would show the net proceeds expected on the Sale of the Bonds. The county would receive 67% of what was due plus the +-26% residual for a total of 93% of the total. The County is expecting approximately $20 million.

Chairman Standbrook suggested a special Legislature meeting on the 16th of June.

Legislator Michaud mentioned that the County assume that the money would reduce the medicaid costs until we have more information. Dr. Walrath expressed concern that it could reduce other moneys that we may receive.

Elaine Daly and Tom Stopyra will research it.
