The proposal also includes the installation of infrastructure (including road, water, sewer, gas, electric and telephone) to be able to serve and resell I-390 frontage property.
Proposed Funding: $1,100,000.
Project Benefits: The implementation of the overall plan for investment in the Avon Crossroads Industrial Park is expected to achieve substantial cost savings in the mid and long term by avoiding the repetitive costs of small incremental development steps. Attacking the project in small two or three lot phases is proving to be a very costly process, and many of the costs that are repeated between phases, like legal steps, engineering duplication, administrative repetition and construction duplication can be minimized or avoided altogether.

INTRODUCTION OF LOCAL LAW
LOCAL LAW NO. A 1999 - A LOCAL LAW IN RELATION TO ITEM PRICING AND SCANNER ACCURACY IN RETAIL ESTABLISHMENTS
SECTION I. LEGISLATIVE-FINDINGS AND INTENT.
The Livingston County Board of Supervisors finds that there is a technology which utilizes computer-assisted pricing systems which offer the user numerous efficiencies and economies in the operation of the retail industries, the use of which may make it economically advantageous for retail stores to remove price markings on individual commodities. This Board further finds that the absence of individual price markings may make it difficult for consumers to make a fully informed purchase choice or to detect overcharges when they occur at the registers. It is the intention of this Board to require that all retail stores place individual item prices on products which they sell and to require accuracy at the checkout registers. Further, it is the intention of this Board to provide for a waiver of the item pricing requirement for certain stores which maintain a very high degree of computer-assisted pricing accuracy and which provide certain other services to permit consumers to record and verify individual item prices. It is also the intention of this Board to require clear and legible shelf labels. Finally it is the intention of this Board to ensure that consumers in Livingston County know what they are paying and are not charged more than that amount at the registers.
SECTION 2. DEFINITIONS.

A separate application shall be required for each store. Each application shall be subject to a non-refundable processing fee to cover the cost of conducting scanner accuracy inspections as provided in subsection c of this section. The Director shall determine the processing fee and may revise it from time to time to reflect said costs, but in no case shall said fee exceed 110
$1,000.00 per application. b. Waiver applications and the required fee must be received at the Bureau of Weights and Measures on or before January 1, 2000 and on or before each January I thereafter. Stores which fail to comply will be subject to all the provisions contained within Section 3.

Upon receipt of an application and fee as provided in subsection a of this section, the Director shall cause to be conducted a scanner accuracy inspection of the store for which the application has been submitted. This inspection shall be conducted in the manner prescribed in Section 8 of this local law. In the event that any violations are detected, penalties shall be assessed as provided in Section 9 of this local law. If the number of SKIs found to be in violation does not exceed two percent of all SKIs inspected, the Director shall grant to the applicant a one year revocable waiver from the item pricing requirement. Any store with a current waiver shall be exempt from the requirements of Section 3 of this local law. d. A waiver from item pricing shall be valid for a period of one year from the date of issuance.

Stores found to be in compliance within thirty days upon a second inspection shall not be required to pay a second processing fee. Stores not in compliance after thirty days may reapply for a waiver by forwarding a second application and processing fee to the Director of Weights and Measures. Stores which do not reapply must he in compliance with all the requirements of Section 3 within 60 days from the date of failure of the inspection. f. In the event that the director is unable to conduct inspections pursuant to subsection c or d of this section within 30 days of receipt of a complete waiver application and proper processing fee, the Director shall grant a temporary waiver, pending completion of the inspection. The Director shall cause said inspection to be completed as soon as practicable. If upon completion, the inspection detects a violation rate of two percent or less, the Director shall issue a regular waiver with an expiration date one year from the commencement date of the temporary waiver. If the inspection detects a violation rate in excess of two percent, the temporary waiver shall be immediately revoked and the provisions of subsection e of this section shall apply. g. As a condition of the waiver from item pricing pursuant to this section, each store which accepts a waiver must agree to meet the following requirements, and no regular or temporary waiver shall be granted to a store which has not agreed to these requirements in writing:
i. The store shall designate and make available a price check scanner to enable consumers to confirm the price of a SKI. This price check scanner shall be in a location convenient to consumers with a sign of sufficient sized lettering identifying it to the consumers.

ii. The store shall not charge any customer a price for any SKI which exceeds the item, shelf, sale, or advertised price of that SKI, whichever is least;

Each store is required to designate at least one individual who is authorized to issue these payments during all of the store's operating hours. Failure to make such effort or make such payments may be grounds for the Director to revoke that store location's waiver from item pricing; and
v. The store shall correct all pricing errors identified by consumers at store level within three hours and, if applicable, at their firm, partnership, corporation, or association within 24 hours. h. In no event shall any store, person, firm, partnership, corporation or association which has been granted a waiver for item pricing under this Section be relieved of the requirements of Section 7 of this Local Law.

SECTION 12. READABLE SHELF LABELS REQUIRED. a. Any store which has been granted a waiver from item pricing pursuant to Section 10 of this local law shall provide a clear and readable shelf label for every SKU. b. The director may, by regulation, specify standard shape, typeface, placement, and format of shelf labels, and may set other requirements to ensure the readability of shelf labels and the ability of consumers to identify which shelf label applies to each SKU. c. No provision of this section shall be construed to diminish the requirements of Section 214-h of the Agriculture and Markets Law. If any provisions of this section of this local law conflicts with Section 214-h of the Agriculture and Markets Law, the Agriculture and Markets Law shall control.
SECTION 13. PENALTIES FOR FAILURE TO PROVIDE PROPER SHELF LABELING

For violations of the provisions of Section 12 of this local law, a penalty in the amount of $10.00 per violation shall be imposed, but in no event shall the total penalty for all violations identified at such first inspection exceed $500.00. For a second or subsequent violation within a calendar year (January 1 through December 31), the above penalties shall be doubled, up to a maximum of $2,000.00 per inspection. Each 112
SKU for which proper shelf labeling is not provided shall constitute a separate violation. Every day a violation is continued shall constitute a separate violation.

The Executive Committee Law Enforcement Council will meet the third Tuesday of each month at 9:30 a.m. The full Council will meet on the Third Tuesday during the months of January, April, July and November. The location varies. Mr. Moore stated he has been involved in the initial process of establishing the Law Enforcement Council and believes the Council will only enhance the public safety within Livingston County. Mr. Daley, as Chairman of the Public Safety Committee, concurred with Mr. Moore.

Cloonan stated that sixteen counties (the majority are downstate) presently have a similar law. M. Cloonan reviewed the highlights of the Law and provided some scanner inspection statistical information from 1995 to present.

Mr. Merrick asked the Board of Supervisors if they had any further discussion on the matter.
1. Caledonia Supervisor James Layland stated that the majority of stores monitor themselves and those establishments that are not obtaining a good rating should be monitored and the results published in the newspapers. Mr. Layland believed that the payment of ten times the overcharge or $1.00, whichever is 122
greater, is excessive. Mr. Layland stated he would be voting no on this Local Law. 2. Sparta Supervisor Leopold Marks stated that the sections with regard to item pricing and the waiver fees should be reviewed. 3. Geneseo Supervisor W. Harold Stewart, and a member of the Agriculture Committee, commented that several stores within the County do a good job with pricing accuracy; however, the Agriculture Committee observed that there had been a error against the consumer over a long period of time and determined that the Board would not be responsible if they had ignored the issue. 4. Mt. Morris Supervisor James F. Olverd agreed with the price accuracy inspection; however, he believed the cost of the item pricing would be passed onto the consumers. 5. Portage Supervisor Ivan C. Davis, and the Chairman of the Agriculture Committee, stated he concurred with Mr. Stewart, and he commented that the waiver fee cannot exceed $1,000. Mr. Davis stated he had talked with 69 different consumers and all were in favor of enactment of this Law. 6. Lima Supervisor Lance H. Bassage stated that he believed the waiver fee only adds additional costs to the consumer, the exemption list was excessive and vague, and he has not heard that pricing accuracy has been a widespread problem throughout the County. Mr. Bassage stated that it appears that the County will have to hire additional staff to enforce this Law, and that he would be voting no on this Law. 7. Livonia Supervisor Timothy R. Wahl did not agree with the payment of ten times the overcharge or $1.00, whichever is greater and stated he would be voting no as the Law is written. Mr. Wahl recommended to refer the Law back to the Agriculture Committee for review. 8. Ossian Supervisor Emery Jaeger stated he would be voting no because he did not believe that a need had been determined. 9. Geneseo Supervisor W. Harold Stewart stated again that the error against the consumer is increasing and this Law will protect the consumers in Livingston County and recommended that the Law be adopted. 10. Portage Supervisor Ivan C. Davis requested that Michael Cloonan explain the recent complaints that the Department of Weights and Measures had received in the past few months. M. Cloonan explained the type of complaints and stated that he is receiving approximately 3-4 complaints a week. 11. York Supervisor Dennis R. House and member of the Agriculture Committee stated that he would be voting no on the proposed Law as written and recommended to refer the Law back to the Agriculture Committee for review. 12. Springwater Supervisor Howard J. Kramer recommended that the Law be tabled. 13. Chairman of the Board and Groveland Supervisor James C. Merrick stated he had attended the Agriculture Committee meetings when the Committee was developing this Law, and after hearing the public comments, Mr. Merrick agreed with the other Supervisors that the Law needs more review and input from business establishments.
Mr. Moore moved and Mr. Marks seconded to table this Local Law indefinitely and refer the matter back to the Agriculture Committee for further review. Carried.
The Chairman declared the public hearing closed.
