Wednesday, January 5, 2011

The County Legislature convened at its Chambers in the Village of Goshen, New York, on the 5th day of January, Two Thousand Eleven, and was called to order with a moment of silence and the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag at 1:32 p.m., by Laurie M. Whightsil, Clerk of the Legislature. The Clerk of the Legislature acted as Temporary Chairman.

A roll call, being taken, the following Legislators representing their respective Legislative Districts were present and answered to their names as follows:

Michael Amo First Legislative District Melissa Bonacic Second Legislative District Michael R. Pillmeier Third Legislative District Harvey J. Burger Fourth Legislative District Katie Bonelli Fifth Legislative District Patrick J. Berardinelli, Sr. Sixth Legislative District Myrna K. Kemnitz Seventh Legislative District Daniel G. Castricone Eighth Legislative District L. Stephen Brescia Ninth Legislative District Albert W. Buckbee, III Tenth Legislative District M. William Lahey Eleventh Legislative District Kevin W. Hines Twelfth Legislative District Dennis W. Simmons Thirteenth Legislative District Roxanne Donnery Fourteenth Legislative District Christopher W. Eachus Fifteenth Legislative District Leigh J. Benton Sixteenth Legislative District Mike Anagnostakis Seventeenth Legislative District Michael D. Paduch Nineteenth Legislative District Jeffrey D. Berkman Twentieth Legislative District Thomas Pahucki Twenty-first Legislative District

Legislator Daniel C. Depew of the Eighteenth Legislative District was absent.

The Temporary Chair stated that the first order of business would be to elect a Chairman of the County Legislature for the year 2011.

The Temporary Chair recognized Mr. Anagnostakis who placed in nomination the name of Michael R. Pillmeier for Chairman of the Orange County Legislature for the year 2011.

Mr. Anagnostakis thanked Madam Chair and wished everyone a Happy New Year and a Healthy new decade. He stated, “I would like to place in nomination the name of Michael R. Pillmeier as the Chairman of the Orange County Legislature for the year 2011. I would like to describe three characteristics that make Michael R. Pillmeier the man that he is. Three characteristics that helped him do an outstanding job as Chairman last year, the same characteristics that make him the right person for the job again this year - hard work, honesty and leadership. In addition to being the Legislative Chairman this past year, he has been actively volunteering with the Florida Fire Department for forty years, three of those years as Fire Chief, and is currently a trustee and also their Benevolent Association President. Michael was elected Fire Commissioner for ten years and is now a member of the Orange County Fire Chief’s Association and also the Warwick Valley Knights of Columbus. In his spare time, he serves on the Soil and Water Conservation Board. There can be no doubt that Michael R. Pillmeier understands there is no substitute for hard work. I believe that the character of a 8 ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING - Wednesday, January 5, 2011 man can be judged by how hard he works. By that measure, I know that we are indeed blessed to have Michael R. Pillmeier as our Chairman. What really sets him apart is his honesty and leadership skills. There is an old adage that honesty is the best policy. This applies to public as well as private life. Thomas Jefferson knew it when he said, ‘the whole art of government consists in the art of being honest.’ Thomas Jefferson would be proud of Michael Pillmeier. When you walk into Chairman Pillmeier’s office, whether or not you agree with him on an issue, you know that you are getting honest answers and honest guidance. This honesty is what allows him to have the leadership skills that he has. Leadership is a no nonsense approach to getting things done, that is Michael Pillmeier. But leadership is also unlocking peoples’ potential to do more - by not restricting their initiative and independence, that is also Michael Pillmeier. Real political leadership is not seeking the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. When the issue of Integrity Officer came up, what did he do? He led. He led by involving every Legislator to help come up with the right solutions for the people of this County. When, maybe the toughest question we face in this County came up, the status of our nursing home, what did he do? He led. He led by convening all the Party Leaders, the Executive’s office and the Union President to come up with a unanimous recommendation for what would be the best for the County. That is leadership; that my friends, is Michael R. Pillmeier. So today, as we stand at the edge of this new decade – a decade with many hopes and many challenges, it is my honor to nominate Michael R. Pillmeier to be Chairman of the Orange County Legislature for the year 2011.”

Mrs. Bonelli seconded the nomination of Michael R. Pillmeier as Chairman of the Orange County Legislature for the year 2011 and offered the following remarks:

“I wanted to second the nomination of Michael R. Pillmeier as Chairman of the Orange County Legislature for the year 2011. It was just a year ago that we unanimously nominated Michael Pillmeier as Chairman for his first term for this Legislative body. Reflecting on the year 2010, we as Legislators addressed the completion and adoption of the Comprehensive Plan; we secured bonding for additional funds for the OCCC Newburgh Campus as well as conducting environmental review and provided supplemental appropriation for the Science, Engineering and Technology Building at the Middletown OCCC Campus. Additionally, we formed the Energy and Resource Conservation Committee as well as establishing the Depart- ment of General Services which will enable them to not only address cost savings but efficiency in running county government. Each statutory committee conducted an Accountabil- ity and Efficiency Study which gave them an in-depth overview of the functions of each department. These are just a few of the issues that we faced in 2010 and I find it is only fitting that Mr. Pillmeier continues to lead us in the challenges that we face in the year 2011. To quote Thomas Jefferson, ‘In the matter of style, swim with the current, in the matter of principle, stand like a rock.’ As a leader, I feel that Mike exemplifies the same. I have seen Mike evolve from Majority Leader to Chairman. As Chairman, he has been respectful and receptive and at times, not afraid to change his mind. He has demonstrated that we remain steadfast with his own belief. Without hesitation, it is an honor to second the nomination.”

The Temporary Chair asked if there were any other nominations. There being no other nominations, the Temporary Chair asked for a motion to close nominations.

Mr. Brescia moved to close nominations, and the Temporary Chair cast one ballot for Michael R. Pillmeier as Chairman of the Orange County Legislature.

The motion was seconded by Mr. Buckbee and unanimously adopted.

The Temporary Chair announced that Michael R. Pillmeier has been elected Chairman of the Orange County Legislature for the year 2011. ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING - Wednesday, January 5, 2011 9

Mr. Brescia announced that the Republican Caucus has selected Melissa Bonacic to be the Majority Leader for the Republican Caucus for the year 2011. She has done a superb job keeping the caucus informed on all County issues and they look forward to the same leadership in 2011.

Mr. Paduch announced that the Democratic Caucus has selected Jeffrey D. Berkman to be the Minority Leader for the Democratic Caucus for the year 2011. He does a great job and is determined to make sure that all the Democratic Legislators get all the necessary information that they need and hopes that Mr. Pillmeier again this year shares all that information so they can work together to make government better in Orange County.

Mr. Amo stated that he elected himself Chairman of the Independence Caucus.

Ms. Bonacic, Mr. Berkman and Mr. Amo escorted Chairman Pillmeier to the chair.

The Temporary Chair asked Michael’s wife Marie, daughter Susan, and grandson Ronan Michael Eisma to join County Clerk Donna Benson at the front of the chamber to administer the oath of office to the Chairman.

Clerk Benson stated that it was an honor to swear Michael in as they are from the same town and she was happy that his family and grandson were there to be a part of this.

County Clerk Donna Benson then administered the Oath of Office to Chairman Pillmeier.

Chairman Pillmeier addressed the Legislature and accepted the Chairmanship of the Or- ange County Legislature for the year 2011 with the following speech:

Good afternoon everyone, Majority Leader Bonacic, Minority Leader Berkman, Leader Amo, Ms. Stephanie Sweeton, Representative for Congresswoman Nan Hayworth from the 19th District, honored guests, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being here. To my colleagues in the Legislature, I appreciate your trust and confidence. It has been an honor and a privilege to lead the Legislative body in 2010. I thank you for your vote of confidence, to continue to lead in this Legislature in 2011. I thank my wife Marie, my daughter Susan, and son-in-law Peter for their continued support. As we all know, whatever venture we pursue in life, it’s always a team effort. I could not be where I am today without my family. This past year, I was blessed with the arrival of my grandson Ronan Michael Eisma. Thank you Susan and P.J. for bringing such joy to my life. Two thousand and ten brought a new Legislature to serve the people of the County of Orange. For our freshman Legislators, I commend you all for your hard work and getting up to speed on County issues and greatly contributing to the Legislative process. For those of us considered seasoned Legislators, thank you for your dedication and leadership and for the wealth of knowledge you bring to the table. I believe 2010 was a year of true successes for Orange County Government. We continue to hold our head high above water during this global recession. As a government, we have managed to do a lot more with less. The County Executive brought to us, and we adopted, a 2011 budget that keeps County Real Property Taxes level. We continue to plan for the County’s future with an update of the County’s Comprehensive Plan, Water Master Plan, and Solid Waste Manage- ment Plan. We are beginning to see some signs of a turn around in our local economy and that is a good thing. Sales tax and mortgage tax collections are beginning to increase and our economic development arm at the IDA Business Accelerator and the Orange County Partner- ship continue to pursue programs to make our County business friendly. Every Legislator in this room has concern for our County residents and the economy. We must continue to assess County needs to operate more efficiently. Young children in school learn about wants and needs. This lesson continues on in life so as we Legislators move forward to our 2011 agenda, let’s not forget to make the distinction between “a want” and “a need” for each monetary 10 ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING - Wednesday, January 5, 2011 decision we must take. I am very proud of this Legislature’s commitment to education. Working together with the County Executive; President, Board of Trustees of Orange County Community College and the Kaplan Foundation, we will soon be cutting the ceremonial ribbon at the Newburgh Campus. It’s a state of the art facility, providing a campus setting for students in the northeastern part of our County and, hopefully, it will have an economic benefit to the City of Newburgh. We continue to invest, along with the private donors, in our Middletown O.C.C.C. Campus and we are committed to the construction of a new school lab and a science engineering technology building slated for construction in 2012. We hope to see more programs as well in our satellite facilities. This Legislature has taken a hard look at how the County does business through our public accountability and efficiency review and how we as Legislators spend taxpayers’ dollars. Through a joint effort with the County Executive, County Department Heads, and County Agencies, we come to learn all the good things that our County employees do each day, where we excel, and where there needs to be improvement. Our Legislative Statutory Committees have already begun to tackle some of the big issues on how we can do county business more efficiently. The Legislature has approved a new Depart- ment of General Services, consolidating procurement of goods and services for all county departments. We commissioned a Feasibility and Accountability Study which is being conducted, as we speak, on the County’s nursing home, Valley View. We have begun to study the manner in which we provide legal services to the indigent. We hope that at the end of the day, we can provide those same services at significant cost savings. We will work with the County Executive in developing and financing a plan for a new county building. I want to thank our party leaders, Majority Leader Melissa Bonacic, Minority Leader Jeffrey Berkman, and Party Leader Michael Amo for their cooperation, candidness and leadership. I look forward to working with all of you again in 2011. I want to give special thanks to our County Executive, Edward A. Diana. I don’t think the residents of Orange County know how lucky they are to have him at the helm. The man works 24/7. I applaud his efforts and his accomplishments. He continues to fight the battle with the State of New York for county funding. He works closely with our department heads to assure county business is taken care of and he is a friend to all in the not for profit world. So let’s roll up our sleeves and put our best foot forward for a successful year in 2011. Thank you.

Mr. Berkman stated that he was pleased to be the first in the Legislature to congratulate Mr. Pillmeier on his re-election as Chairman of the Orange County Legislature.

Chairman Pillmeier thanked Mr. Berkman.

Mr. Berkman then stated that his caucus would like to extend best wishes to Team Pillmeier, Mrs. Pillmeier, Susan, Peter and baby Ronan. He thanked Mr. Pillmeier for his cooperative effort last year because much was said about trust and confidence. The caucus is relying on that for a productive year coming ahead, especially one that faces many challenges for everyone in the room. There are serious decisions that have to be made and the caucus hopes to maximize a spirit of bi-partisanship, fairness and, specifically, fairness on an upcoming effort to re-district. The Democratic caucus hopes to have views on a range of issues as well as redistricting. He stated that it can be brought forward in an equal manner to all of the Legislators. The caucus is looking forward to working with Chairman Pillmeier and the Legislature for the upcoming year.

“RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING LEGISLATIVE CALENDAR FOR 2011, PURSUANT TO ARTICLE II, C, 1 (f) OF THE LEGISLATIVE MANUAL.”

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Eachus congratulated Chairman Pillmeier on his re-election. He then moved to amend the Legislative Calendar for 2011 so that the May 5, July 7, and August 4 meeting times be moved to 6:00 p.m. Furthermore, he stated that “having a job and being employed is of critical importance and as always this Legislature would like to have as much attendance as possible. This would allow for those who have something to discuss with us or say to us, to show up without having to miss any work or jeopardize their jobs,” seconded by Mr. Paduch.

Mr. Berkman thanked Mr. Eachus for bringing this issue back up to the attention of the Legislature. He stated that this is a debate that has been going on for several years and he agrees with Mr. Eachus that having a mixed schedule gives an opportunity for some people to attend the meetings.

Mr. Benton commented that he appreciates all concerns regarding attendance for the Legislative Sessions, but he feels that everything is agenda-oriented and if people are concerned about a topic, they will show up at any time. In the past when evening meetings were held, it decreased public participation and it should be kept as it is now.

Ms. Bonacic stated that she appreciates Mr. Eachus’ proposal, but if people would like to be here to address a particular issue, they will make a point of coming at any time. She will not support the amendment.

Mr. Paduch commented that people need to try to leave work in order to attend these meetings and if it is at 6:00 p.m., they do not have to leave work. He feels that people deserve three opportunities during the summer months to attend the meetings. He supports the amendment. ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING - Wednesday, January 5, 2011 13

Ayes: Berkman, Buckbee, Burger, Donnery, Eachus, Hines, Kemnitz, Paduch, Pahucki

The Legislature convened in Regular Session at 3:38 p.m. today.

The Legislature was called to order by Chairman Pillmeier with a moment of silence and the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.

On roll call, all members were present. Mr. Brescia left at 5:30 p.m.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION (On file in Clerk, Legislative Office).

By Ms. Bonacic:

RESOLVED, that the minutes of December 2, 2010 and December 16, 2010 be approved. The motion was seconded by Mr. Buckbee and adopted.

ADOPTED.

Ms. Bonacic requested that Agenda No. A-1, DESIGNATION BY MEMBERS OF THE COUNTY LEGISLATURE REPRESENTING THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OF NEWSPA- PERS TO PUBLISH THE CONCURRENT RESOLUTIONS OF THE STATE LEGISLA- TURE AND ELECTION NOTICES TO BE PUBLISHED IN 2011, Agenda No. A-3, DESIG- NATION BY MEMBERS OF THE COUNTY LEGISLATURE REPRESENTING THE RE- PUBLICAN PARTY OF NEWSPAPERS TO PUBLISH ALL LOCAL LAWS, NOTICES AND OTHER MATTERS REQUIRED BY LAW TO BE PUBLISHED IN 2011, and Agenda No. A-5, RESOLUTION DESIGNATING NEWSPAPERS PUBLISHED WITHIN THE COUNTY AS OFFICIAL NEWSPAPERS FOR THE PUBLICATION OF ALL LOCAL LAWS, NOTICES AND OTHER MATTERS REQUIRED BY LAW TO BE PUBLISHED IN 2011, be withdrawn from the agenda, seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Chairman Pillmeier stated if there were no objections, Agenda Nos. A-1, A-3 and A-5 would be withdrawn from the agenda.

Mr. Berkman requested that Agenda No. A-2, DESIGNATION BY MEMBERS OF THE COUNTY LEGISLATURE REPRESENTING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OF NEWSPA- PERS TO PUBLISH THE CONCURRENT RESOLUTIONS OF THE STATE LEGISLA- TURE AND ELECTION NOTICES TO BE PUBLISHED IN 2011, Agenda No. A-4, DESIG- NATION BY MEMBERS OF THE COUNTY LEGISLATURE REPRESENTING THE DEMO- CRATIC PARTY OF NEWSPAPERS TO PUBLISH ALL LOCAL LAWS, NOTICES AND OTHER MATTERS REQUIRED BY LAW TO BE PUBLISHED IN 2011, and Agenda No. A- 5, RESOLUTION DESIGNATING NEWSPAPERS PUBLISHED WITHIN THE COUNTY AS OFFICIAL NEWSPAPERS FOR THE PUBLICATION OF ALL LOCAL LAWS, NOTICES AND OTHER MATTERS REQUIRED BY LAW TO BE PUBLISHED IN 2011, be withdrawn from the agenda, seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Chairman Pillmeier stated if there no objections, Agenda Nos. A-2, A-4 and A-5 would be withdrawn from the agenda.

Mr. Lahey requested that Agenda No. 4-A be withdrawn, RESOLUTION SETTING ASIDE FUNDS FROM THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND CONSERVATION BLOCK GRANT ACQUIRED THROUGH THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY FOR LO- CAL COUNTY MUNICIPALITIES FOR ENERGY EFFFICIENCY RETROFITS, seconded REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, Feburary 3, 2011 19 by Mr. Buckbee.

Chairman Pillmeier stated if there were no objections, Agenda No. 4-A would be withdrawn from the agenda.

Mr. Pahucki objected to the withdrawal of Agenda Item No. 4-A and stated that he would like to discuss why it should not be with withdrawn.

Mrs. Reed explained that there is no discussion on a motion to withdraw. On an objection, a roll call will be taken, it’s similar to a “lay on the table.”

On roll call, Mr. Lahey’s motion to withdraw the proposed resolution was adopted by the following vote:

Ayes: Bonacic, Amo, Anagnostakis, Benton, Berardinelli, Bonelli, Brescia, Buckbee, Castricone, Hines, Lahey, Simmons, Pillmeier

Noes: Berkman, Burger, Depew, Donnery, Eachus, Kemnitz, Paduch, Pahucki

Ayes 13; Noes 8; Absent 0; ADOPTED.

Clerk Whightsil stated if there are no objections, Agenda Item No. 5 needs to be voted on before Agenda Item No. 4 in order to have them flow properly.

Mr. Depew asked Legislative Counsel if there were to be amendments during the Legisla- tive process today to Agenda Item No. 4, how would that affect Agenda Item No. 5.

Mrs. Reed replied that it depends on the nature of the amendment; if the amendment is to grammar or word, there does not necessarily have to be a change to the second resolution after the bond resolution making an appropriation. If it were to change the amount of the bond resolution, then the appropriation that follows would also have to be amended.

Mr. Depew asked if Agenda Item No. 5 is specific to the money that would have to be bonded for the improvements to County buildings for this practice with the energy audits; specific and only to that. Mrs. Reed replied that is correct; it would be for the retrofits.

Mr. Depew clarified it would be for retrofits for County buildings and the matching funding that they are required to have by the federal government. Mrs. Reed stated that would be on the four buildings that were identified and discussed in the committee process.

RESOLUTION NO. 5 OF 2011

RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING FEBRUARY AS BLACK HISTORY MONTH.

WHEREAS, since 1976, February has been recognized in America as Black History Month to celebrate the contributions of African Americans in our society and the world. Originally established as Negro History Week in 1926 by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the celebration began 20 REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, Feburary 3, 2011 in order to bring national attention to the contributions of African Americans throughout American History. Woodson, whose parents were former slaves in the South, changed the consciousness of people regarding the true and positive place of “Black Americans” in history books; and

WHEREAS, since 1926, the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History (“ASALH”) has established the national theme for the month-long celebration. The theme for 2011 is “African Americans and the Civil War;” and

WHEREAS, in 1861, as the United States stood at the brink of Civil War, people of African descent, both slave and free, waited with a watchful eye. They understood that a war between the North and South might bring about the destruction of slavery; and

WHEREAS, over the course of the Civil War, free blacks and slaves, rallied around the Union flag for the cause of freedom. From the cotton and tobacco fields of the South to the small towns and big cities of the North, nearly 200,000 joined the Grand Army of the Republic and took up arms to destroy the Confederacy. They served as recruiters, soldiers, nurses and spies and endured unequal treatment, massacres and riots as they pursued their quests for freedom and equality.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED, that the Orange County Legislature recognizes February as Black History Awareness Month for Orange County; and We commend these sentiments to every citizen of Orange County that all might reflect upon the efforts of people of African descent to destroy slavery and bring freedom to all in the United States.

RESOLVED BY THE COUNTY LEGISLATURE OF THE COUNTY OF ORANGE, NEW YORK (by the affirmative vote of not less than two thirds of the voting strength of said Legislature), AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. The County of Orange, New York (herein called “County”), is hereby authorized to continue new Capital Project No. 181 for the Department of Planning for the construction of energy improvements to various County-owned facilities including lighting upgrades, HVAC mechanical improvements, building insulation enhancements and water efficiency measures, all as more particularly described in the County’s 2011 Capital Plan, as amended.

The plan of financing includes the expenditure of said Grant Funds, the application of said County in-kind services and the issuance of $1,949,206 bonds of the County and any bond anticipation notes issued in anticipation of the sale of such bonds to finance the balance of said appropriation and the levy and collection of taxes on all the taxable real property in the County to pay the principal of and interest on said bonds and notes.

Section 2. Bonds of the County in the principal amount of $1,949,206 are hereby authorized to be issued pursuant to the provisions of the Local Finance Law, constituting Chapter 33-a of the Consolidated Laws of the State of New York (herein called “Law”), to finance a portion of said appropriation.

Section 3. The period of probable usefulness of the specific object or purpose for which said $1,949,206 bonds herein authorized are to be issued, within the limitations of Section 11.00 a. 13 of the Law, is ten (10) years.

Section 4. The County intends to finance, and the Commissioner of Finance of the County is hereby authorized to advance such amounts as are necessary to pay the costs of the specific object or purpose described in Section 1 hereof prior to the issuance of the bonds or bond anticipation notes authorized out of any available funds of the County, on an interim basis, which amounts are reasonably expected to be reimbursed with the proceeds of debt to be incurred by the County, pursuant to this Resolution, in the total amount of bonds herein authorized. This Resolution is a declaration of official intent adopted pursuant to the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.150-2.

Section 5. Each of the bonds authorized by this Resolution and any bond anticipation notes issued in anticipation of the sale thereof shall contain the recital of validity prescribed by Section 52.00 of said Local Finance Law and said bonds and any notes issued in anticipation of said bonds shall be general obligations of the County of Orange, payable as to both principal and interest by general tax upon all the taxable real property within the County without limitation as to rate or amount. The faith and credit of the County are hereby irrevocably pledged to the punctual payment of the principal of and interest on said bonds and any notes issued in anticipation of the sale of said bonds or the renewals of said notes, and provision shall be made annually in the budgets of the County by appropriation for (a) the amortization and redemption of the notes and bonds to mature in such year and (b) the payment of interest to REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, Feburary 3, 2011 23 be due and payable in such year.

Section 8. This Resolution shall take effect immediately.

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Berkman stated that after going over this in caucus he just wants to make sure that everyone has a clear understanding, if this passes, does this cover the entire grant application for upgrades for energy efficiency for all of it, including the $721,000.00 which was previously not allocated. If that is correct and they adopt this resolution, does that prohibit any amount of the $721,000.00 to be vested in local municipalities’ projects.

Mrs. Reed responded that the purpose of the bond resolution is to fund the County retrofits for the four County buildings discussed at the committee meeting. The bond requirements under the guidelines for the federal grant require that they front all of the money, including the federal grant money which is a reimbursement program, so that $3,998,411.00 represents all of the money that are the federal monies as well as the match of $1,999,205.00 for the retrofits for the County buildings. It does include the $721,241.00 originally appropriated by the Legislature in 2010 for the federal grant. All of the money is reflected in this bond resolution.

Mr. Berkman stated that backs it up with a bond that does not go to the disposition of the $721,000.00, they still have flexibility.

Mrs. Reed replied that is correct.

The vote resulted as follows:

Ayes: Bonacic, Berkman, Amo, Anagnostakis, Benton, Berardinelli, Bonelli, Brescia, Buckbee, Burger, Castricone, Depew, Donnery, Eachus, Hines, Kemnitz, Lahey, Paduch, Pahucki, Simmons, Pillmeier

RULES, ENACTMENTS AND INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS COMMITTEE, cont’d:

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Depew apologized to his colleagues and the Legislature and to the Chairman for he does not think that it is the position of the Legislators to have to legislate here on the floor during a session, but this particular resolution deserves some attention at this time. He stated that earlier in the meeting the Legislature decided to remove a resolution that was on the agenda as Item No. 4-A.

Mr. Depew moved to amend the resolution to insert the language as presented in Agenda Item No. 4-A into Agenda Item No. 4, which would be all WHEREAS’ and RESOLVED’S, which they will be voting on now, and that they add to that amendment a clause that “there will be no matching funds required by the municipalities for money that is spent forthe energy retrofits to municipal buildings.” He also asked to make an additional amendment to Item No. 4-A’s insertion into Item No. 4 that wherever the number $450,000.00 is mentioned in Agenda Item No. 4-A, that it be changed to $721,000.00 and that be the available money to municipalities for energy retrofits. He then requested an additional WHEREAS be added that requires that “any money that is not determined or to be spent by the Legislature in the Chairman’s committee be put back into the counties ability to be used,” seconded by Mr. Simmons.

Mrs. Reed clarified that the number shall be $721,274.00. Mr. Depew replied that is correct.

Mrs. Reed continued that Mr. Depew is incorporating Agenda Item No. 4-A into Agenda Item No. 4 and he is changing the monies to go to local municipalities grant program from $450,000.00 to $721,274.00.

Mr. Depew agreed and requested that they insert the language that the money under the $721,274.00 that is designated for municipalities only, does not need to be matching funds.

Mr. Lahey elaborated on his previous remarks by stating that he was in complete agreement with Agenda Item No. 4, as it was originally presented. He pointed out that he made a motion earlier to withdraw Agenda Item No. 4-A, and he made it for a very specific reason, Agenda Item No. 4-A called for setting aside $450,000.00 for municipalities for this energy work and it was the thinking of their caucus, as well as himself, that the number should be higher than $450,000.00. They did not know exactly what that number should be; however, they decided it should be higher than $450,000.00, it could be $721,000.00 or it could be any number. The County may very well want to do another energy project on their own and it could come out of that $721,000.00 and for that reason, he had asked that it be withdrawn, a committee be formed as they have discussed, and a committee would review applications from the municipalities to determine which ones should be funded and to what extent. It gave them and the Legislature the opportunity to give out an unlimited amount of that money and still maybe retain some for a project that we may want to do. It was not 100% clear that they REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, Feburary 3, 2011 25 wanted to give out the entire $721,000.00, but they do know that it was going to be more than $450,000.00 so that’s why he asked to have that withdrawn. It was an agreement on their side that was the proper way to go.

Mr. Pahucki stated that he wished Mr. Lahey had opened up some dialogue prior to withdrawing the resolution, so that the rest of the Legislators could have had an understanding of what was actually behind the withdrawal. He stated in the Rules Committee it was he, Mr. Depew and Mr. Berkman that realized there was some money left over that was not earmarked for the buildings that the County Executive had identified as needing energy work. He explained that the committee came up with, through consensus, as it should be, that $450,000.00 leaves them a couple hundred thousand because, perhaps, there were some retrogrades that the Legislature would like to embark on that the County Executive may deem unnecessary. Mr. Pahucki stated that he would certainly not like to take the $721,000.00 allocated to municipalities and deprive the Legislature of a 50% match in utilizing any energy upgrades to the existing government center, the Valley View Center or any other building that they would not want to dispose of because then the argument would be that they have to sell because it would be too costly to do any energy upgrades. He noted that if they retained some of the money as in Agenda Item No. 4-A then the cost of any future upgrades would be half because they would be matched. Mr. Pahucki stated that while he understands what Mr. Depew wants to do, and applauds his efforts, he also understands Mr. Lahey’s point. He commented that he is a bit uncomfortable with $721,000.00 to the municipalities. Mr. Depew interjected, “amended.” Mr. Pahucki agreed and continued that he would much rather have it state “up to $721,000.00” which gives them some discretionary latitude to use that and it’s not finite that it’s $721,000.00. He asked Mr. Depew to possibly consider that as a re-wording to his resolution.

Mr. Depew responded that he would concede to Mr. Pahucki’s suggestion, seconded by Mr. Simmons.

Mr. Pahucki commented that it is a good amendment; it allows the municipalities an opportunity to save taxpayers some money and also allows access for the Legislature to define and fund other energy-saving projects for other existing County buildings.

Mr. Berkman commented that this has led to a lot of confusion but it appears that they are now very close to an agreement. He stated that the question now is how they can invest $721,000.00 that was unallocated with the plan that the County Executive put forward with his staff and committee when they selected the four buildings. He added that his caucus did not object to that allocation because they knew there was $721,000.00 remaining in which the Legislature could maintain a meaningful role. They wanted a substantial portion of that money to go to support local governments. Mr. Berkman stated that he’s a bit uncomfortable with the entire amount going to local governments because he thought solidarity was shown in stating that most of the money would go to local governments; he would like to have a reserve account of $271,000.00 which they would be able to match, as a County, and possibly invest in something other than the four buildings that were selected. He would like to see a committee in place with Legislative input because they should not be totally deferential to the County Executive’s plan. Mr. Berkman stated what happens if that committee does not decide to invest the entire amount with the local governments, suppose the committee decided to withhold $150,000.00 or $200,000.00, does that allow for that possibility to occur. If it does not, then he cannot support the resolution, as amended.

Mr. Depew responded that he supports Mr. Berkman’s concern; however, the only reason to have this resolution was so that the Legislature could be guaranteed that there is money for municipalities as the Rules Committee intended. The Legislature would be able to ensure that, as the federal government had intended, that no matching funds be required by those municipalities. 26 REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, Feburary 3, 2011

Mrs. Bonelli stated that she understands Mr. Depew’s intent but cautioned her colleagues that to target any specific amount of money to go to any specific route will, in fact, not allow them as a County to utilize that. Whatever the amount, if their target does not use the money, then the County loses that money. She recommended that they also put out there that they are attempting to help local municipalities, which she totally supports, but the qualifications necessary to be able to have them access this money are very specific and there is a very tight timeline, so they must have projects done by December 31, 2011 which disqualifies a lot of municipalities. Mrs. Bonelli noted that they need to take a careful look at this. The original motion to withdraw Agenda item No. 4-A was probably a better idea and that would enable them to do more, even as Mr. Berkman suggested, to put together a committee to review some of the ideas which would include some of the County projects that the Legislature may want to see move forward. Mrs. Bonelli stated that she will not support this resolution.

Mr. Castricone suggested that they add, “no matching funds or services” to Mr. Depew’s amendment, “that there be no matching funds” since sometimes matching services are required

Mr. Depew conceded to Mr. Castricone’s request. Mr. Simmons seconded.

Mr. Amo moved to send this back to committee and have Mr. Depew’s suggestions be reviewed there and see that outcome, seconded by Mr. Lahey.

Mr. Simmons agreed with Mr. Amo in principle but he is also concerned with the timeframe.

Mr. Depew responded that they do not want to see the time run out on this with no one receiving anything. Mr. Depew stated that from this discussion they now have less in disagree- ment and more in agreement. He added that Mr. Hines specifically requested that they have a timeframe, so if that means that they need to state that the application process needs to be complete and the committee needs to do its work before April 1st, then they should state that and second that motion right now, Mr. Simmons seconded.

Mr. Pahucki commented that the idea of $450,000.00 came out of a discussion in the Rules Committee, bipartisan with both Republicans and Democrats agreeing that they do not want to lose it or have to give it back to the government, so this has already been dealt with in committee and there is no point in sending this back to committee for another month. It could also jeopardize the municipalities’ ability to get some free money to save the taxpayers money. He would vote “no” on the motion to send this back to committee.

On roll call, Mr. Amo’s motion to send this back to committee and have Mr. Depew’s suggestions be reviewed there and see that outcome resulted in the following vote:

Ayes: Amo, Berardinelli, Buckbee, Lahey, Pillmeier

Noes: Bonacic, Berkman, Anagnostakis, Benton, Bonelli, Brescia, Burger, Castricone, Depew, Donnery, Eachus, Hines, Kemnitz, Paduch, Pahucki, Simmons

Ayes 5; Noes 16; Absent 0; DEFEATED.

Mr. Paduch commented that it is still not quite clear to the Legislature about who will be making the decision regarding how much will be spent, who is deciding, the Legislature or the County Executive. This resolution now states “up to” so, perhaps, they should amend it to state, “a minimum being spent of $450,000.00 up to $721,000.00 for municipalities,” so that the committee cannot make the decision to spend only $200,000.00. REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, Feburary 3, 2011 27

Chairman Pillmeier responded that the committee will be created by the chairman and will include the executive side of the house. It will work just like the Parks grant program.

Mrs. Reed reminded the Legislature that there may not be enough applications ready to go to utilize the entire $450,000.00, so any monies that are not used will be lost to the County and returned to the federal government.

Mr. Benton called the question.

Mr. Lahey noted that Mr. Pahucki had commented on the lateness of their being apprised of the decision to withdraw the resolution. He pointed out that his caucus did not agree to withdraw Agenda Item No. 4-A until 3:10 p.m. and he immediately went to Mr. Pahucki’s caucus, it was not something that was “hanging around” for ten days. It was agreed upon by thirteen people to withdraw Agenda Item No. 4-A at 3:10 p.m.

Mr. Simmons called for point of order to make sure everyone understands the resolution and give Mr. Depew an opportunity to define the resolution for them.

Clerk Whightsil reviewed the amendments with Mr. Depew. The first amendment was to incorporate all of the WHEREAS’ and RESOLVED’S from Agenda Item No. 4-A into No. 4, the second was to change all of the references in the resolution - Agenda No. 4-A from $450,000.00 to “up to $721,274.00.” The third WHEREAS was to add “any of the funds used for municipal grants will not have to be matched by money or services by the municipalities awarded.” Additionally, Mr. Hines had added that there would be a timeframe for the municipalities of April 1, 2011. Mr. Depew replied that is also correct.

Mrs. Reed clarified that “any monies that were not used by the municipalities would resort back to the County.”

Ms. Bonacic requested a five minute recess with the Republican caucus and asked that Legislative Counsel be present for those five minutes.

Chairman Pillmeier called for a recess at 4:30 p.m.

RECESS

The meeting reconvened at 4:46 p.m.

Chairman Pillmeier requested that the Clerk move Agenda Item No. 4 to the end of the agenda so that counsel can draft a resolution that the Legislature can understand based on the amendments presented.

Mr. Castricone stated, for the record, that during discussions they were assured that no one has been deleted from the list and everyone who was required to be on this list last year; all of those positions are required to be on the list again this year.

Mr. Eachus asked for clarification that under the Office of the County Executive, the “Deputy County Executive to become effective with the filing of Local Law No. 11 of 2010” is where they actually instilled the Office of Deputy County Executive.

Chairman Pillmeier referred to Clerk Whightsil who explained that it was adopted in late 2010; however, they had to wait for the State filing which they received today so it will be a local law effective in 2011.

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Berkman stated that during their caucus meeting the Legislators noticed that there was no representation by organized labor. He continued that the committee would be better served by someone who was identifiable with organized labor.

Mr. Burger asked that his name be removed as a representative on the Labor Relations Advisory Committee and he nominated Mr. Paduch as representative.

Chairman Pillmeier asked Mr. Paduch if he accepts Mr. Burger’s nomination.

Mr. Paduch replied that he does accept the nomination to the Labor Relations Advisory Committee.

Chairman Pillmeier stated if there were no objections, Mr. Paduch would replace Mr. Burger as a representative on the Labor Relations Advisory Committee.

Mr. Eachus commented that it’s a great move and, just like Mr. Paduch, he is also an active union member, and they are constantly being questioned about union issues and how they should react to the current economic situation. He thanked Chairman Pillmeier for moving forward with this amendment to these appointments. Mr. Eachus offered congratulations to Mr. Paduch, noting that he will serve both the County and the public very well.

Mr. Berkman thanked Mr. Burger for his generosity of spirit and Mr. Paduch for serving. REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, Feburary 3, 2011 59

Mr. Anagnostakis asked for clarification from counsel that no one other than Legislators can be appointed to the Labor Relations Advisory Committee.

Mrs. Reed responded that they must be Legislators; however, these are appointments made by the Chairman and either they can confirm or not confirm. If they do not confirm these appointments, then Chairman Pillmeier can come back with new appointments. There should not be any appointments from the floor.

Chairman Pillmeier stated that they will have to go back to the recommendation of counsel and vote on the appointments that are in this resolution.

Mr. Eachus asked that the members of the Legislature vote this original, un-amended resolution down in order to bring back a new list of appointees because they do need an active union member who is a Legislator on this committee.

Mrs. Reed added that they can also refer this back to the Chairman for reconsideration if Mr. Burger does not wish to serve.

Mr. Eachus stated he would like to refer this back to the Chairman.

Chairman Pillmeier added that they could also vote this resolution down and next month he will have a new list for the Legislature.

Mr. Benton pointed out that the committee is made up of members of the Legislature that are supposed to look out for the County’s interest in relations to Labor Relations.

Mr. Benton moved to refer this resolution back to the Chairman, seconded by Mr. Berkman.

WHEREAS, the County Legislature by Resolution No. 88 of 1971, as last amended by Resolution No. 13 of 2002, created a special committee of the County Legislature to be known as the “Off Track Betting Committee”; and

WHEREAS, Article IV, Section G, of the Legislative Manual provides that the Chairman of the Legislature will appoint all members of special committees, subject to the approval of this Legislature; and

WHEREAS, the Chairman of the County Legislature has appointed the following members to said Off Track Betting Committee for the terms hereinafter mentioned: 60 REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, Feburary 3, 2011

Michael Amo, Chairman for a term expiring December 31, 2011 Jeffrey D. Berkman for a term expiring December 31, 2011 L. Stephen Brescia for a term expiring December 31, 2011 Daniel G. Castricone for a term expiring December 31, 2011 Kevin W. Hines for a term expiring December 31, 2011 Albert W. Buckbee for a term expiring December 31, 2011

RESOLVED, that the appointment of the aforesaid members to the special committee of the County Legislature on off track betting be and the same is hereby approved.

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Amo stated that Senator Bonacic chairs the New York State Senate Racing and Wager- ing Gaming Committee which is very important so that Orange County has a part with respect to Off-Track Betting. The vote resulted as follows:

“RESOLUTION MAKING A SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION OF COUNTY FUNDS TO THE EXISTING LOCAL GOVERNMENT GRANT PROGRAM FOR EN- ERGY EFFICIENCY AND CONSERVATION PROJECTS ORIGINALLY RECEIVED FROM THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY (DOE) FOR THE ORANGE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING, PURSUANT TO SECTION 4.09 OF THE ORANGE COUNTY CHARTER AND SETTING ASIDE FUNDS FROM SAID FEDERAL GRANT FOR LOCAL COUNTY MUNICIPALITIES FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY RET- ROFITS.”

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mrs. Reed stated that she has drafted a new resolution which incorporates many of the proposed amendments that were made on the floor, the concerns that were brought up on the floor, as well as the substance of Mr. Depew’s resolution. Mrs. Reed also included the supplemental appropriation of the bond resolution.

Mr. Depew moved to accept the newly drafted resolution, seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Lahey stated it’s good to see Agenda Item No. 4-A back on the table and if he wanted to vote for Item No. 4-A he would not have asked to have it withdrawn. These amendments make a perfectly acceptable resolution, one that should pass; however, it is one that he cannot support. He compared this to Congress, with all of the add-ons, stating that a resolution that should pass unanimously begins to have add-ons that may or may not be acceptable. He stated that they do have a lot to digest in a short period of time but he asked if the fourth WHEREAS implies that every municipality that has done an energy audit gets funded, because the original intent was not to fund every municipality, necessarily, but to pick the better ones to see how REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, Feburary 3, 2011 61 far the money went. The resolution does not indicate that the committee’s responsibility is not just to review, but to select the better applications and determine the funding. He continued that they could spend the remainder of the day adding amendments; this is what happens when they try to add several different amendments in a very short period of time.

Mr. Berkman stated that a lot of good points were brought up for discussion and Mr. Lahey does make a good point that the resolution should state that the committee, “review and select.” Additionally, they have been using the words, “local governments and municipalities” interchangeably and since they have granted school districts in the past and the grant application encourages local government and they specify school districts as well, so they should be clear.

Mr. Berkman moved that anywhere in the resolution where it states “municipalities” it be changed to “municipalities and school districts” and also add that the committee will also “review and select,” seconded by Mr. Eachus.

Mr. Berkman clarified that in the document where it states “municipalities” that it state, “municipalities and school districts” exactly how it’s stated by the federal government when it states, “applications from municipalities and school districts are eligible” that’s the federal government language, that’s the grant application and that’s what this Legislature passed last time, last year and, in fact, there were two school districts that joined in the application and were awarded grants. One for certain, but there may have been a second one, as well. So, they would be breaking precedent by not doing that.

Mr. Amo moved to send this resolution back to the Rules Committee, seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

On roll call, Mr. Amo’s motion to send the resolution back to committee was defeated by the following vote:

Ayes: Amo, Berardinelli, Brescia, Buckbee, Lahey, Pillmeier

Noes: Bonacic, Berkman, Anagnostakis, Benton, Bonelli, Burger, Castricone, Depew, Donnery, Eachus, Hines, Kemnitz, Paduch, Pahucki, Simmons

Mrs. Bonelli pointed out that when they started this meeting they discussed withdrawing this resolution because there were so many unanswered questions and now they are on their second written resolution and they are still making changes and still finding problems with it. She stated that she has a problem with the third line from the bottom where it states, “remaining.” Which infers that if, in fact, with no timeframe specified for the municipalities, if they don’t decide to use this money then the County will have a chance to look at it. She asked if that means that on December 1st or December 10th, they find out that if they want $300,000.00 they had better come up with something quick. Mrs. Bonelli stated that from the beginning, she did not support this type of resolution, there are too many unanswered questions; however, she applauds Legislative Counsel’s efforts in trying to put this together so quickly and noted that Mrs. Reed did a remarkable job, but she still can’t support it.

Mr. Paduch stated that they should have an Orange County outline, so whatever excess money there is from $100,000.00 to $300,000.00 to $500,000.00 will be ready to go so if there is money left over we know what projects we’re going with.

Mr. Hines stated that in the Ways and Means Committee, he asked Mr. Church to do just that and Mr. Church stated that he would continue working to try and target some other projects for us. With respect to Mrs. Bonelli’s question, Counsel responded that Commis- sioner Church was going to put a timeline on this, whatever went out to the public, and that’s what satisfied him on that issue.

Ms. Bonacic stated that she agrees with Mrs. Bonelli. She noted that in their caucus, they had agreed to withdraw the $450,000.00 and then the Chairman would set up the committee and they had discussed the $721,000.00 going to the municipalities. Ms. Bonacic stated that she is kind of torn on this because she was ready to support that; however, between that discussion and coming to the floor, they have received information that possibly the Legisla- ture would not be able to request that the municipalities would not have to match, which causes a lot of caucus members some concern. Ms. Bonacic stated that she does not like the way this was done with all of the amendments, especially, since there were some caucus members who learned of the information in the eleventh hour. She stated that she will support this because she feels very strongly that the municipalities should not have to match because, at least for their caucus, that was their wishes but asked to go on the record that she does not like the way this was done.

Mr. Simmons agreed with Ms. Bonacic wholeheartedly, stating that he does not think there’s anybody who sits here that thinks that this is a good way of doing business. Unfortu- nately, this whole process was taken out of their hands when they learned at the eleventh hour that many of the things that they thought that they could rely on were no longer there. He stated he will be supporting it and asked that all his colleagues do the same.

Mr. Simmons moved to call the question, seconded by Mr. Depew. REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, Feburary 3, 2011 63

On roll call, Mr. Simmons’ motion to call the question was adopted by the following vote:

Ayes: Bonacic, Berkman, Anagnostakis, Benton, Castricone, Depew, Donnery, Eachus, Hines, Kemnitz, Paduch, Pahucki, Simmons, Pillmeier

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION (On file in Clerk, Legislative Office).

Mr. Berkman acknowledged that Susan Spear was in attendance earlier today, she is the representative for Senator Gillibrand. He thought it was appropriate to acknowledge her presence and he thanked her on behalf of the Legislature.

Mr. Berkman urged the Legislators to browse through the Hoffman brochure that was distributed to them earlier, it was quite impressive and he appreciated that it was sent to them.

Lastly, Mr. Berkman commented that in his thirteen years as a Legislator, this was the sloppiest he has ever seen in his career. He noted that he was not talking about his own conduct, but as a Legislature.

Chairman Pillmeier stated that he was disappointed that he was not introduced to the aide to Senator Gillibrand.

Mr. Berkman pointed out that she will be returning to meet the Legislature in the future.

Mr. Depew responded to Mr. Berkman’s final comment noting that sometimes things that are worth it are worth working for and sometimes worth working together to get.

On motion of Mr. Berkman, seconded by Mr. Depew, the Legislature adjourned at 5:50 p.m.

ADJOURNED. Laurie M. Whightsil, Clerk 66 REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, March 3, 2011 REGULAR SESSION

Thursday, March 3, 2011

The Legislature convened in Regular Session at 3:30 p.m. today.

The Legislature was called to order by Chairman Pillmeier with a moment of silence and the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.

On roll call, all members were present with the exception of Legislator Lahey. Legislator Depew arrived at 3:40 p.m.

County Executive Diana addressed the Legislature and gave his State of the County Ad- dress.

Chairman Pillmeier, Majority Leader Bonacic, Minority Leader Berkman, Leader Amo, distinguished members of the Legislature, ladies and gentlemen of Orange County …

We are here today to talk about the future, our future.

“One thing we Americans like is the future, like the sound of it, the idea of it, the hope of it. Yes, we Americans like the future and making the most of it.”

Spoken twenty-three years ago by President Ronald Reagan these words are still true, and they hold particular significance for us today as this address is not just a proud list of accomplishments by my administration, but rather, a record of decisions and actions taken to guarantee a more prosperous tomorrow, for all of us.

But first, let’s take a moment together to recognize the brave men and women who afford us the opportunity to dream of better days ahead.

The United States Military sacrifice for us and defend our freedoms, and for that we salute you. We’d like to welcome home those who have returned after serving our nation so courageously, and to the injured, we wish them a healthy recovery. To the members that are still missing, we say “Never Forget.” To those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, a forever grateful County of Orange honors your memory.

This past year saw great accomplishments on behalf of our residents. Our financial house is in order, our public safety efforts are second to none and our commitment to our overall quality of life remains a top priority of this administration.

Orange County has a balanced budget that reduces taxes by $4 million.

Our Triple-A Bond Rating has been reaffirmed, confirming our County’s strong financial position.

We have completed building the Newburgh SUNY Orange Branch Campus on-time and under-budget.

We have streamlined government services to improve efficiencies. Mr. Chairman, Legislators, fellow citizens, the state of our County remains strong, healthy, and ready for the challenges ahead.

Our nation remains in the midst of a fiscal crisis as the United States is $14 trillion in debt. REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, March 3, 2011 67

The State of New York has a $10 billion budget gap.

Here in Orange County, nine New York State mandates consume 80 percent of the County property tax levy.

Under these extremely difficult circumstances, that aren’t controlled by Orange County, this administration has been forced to make hard, and sometimes unpopular, policy decisions not only to keep the County solvent, but to responsibly prompt its development, and nurture its future growth.

To do anything less would be irresponsible of me as your County Executive.

The role of government is to create conditions where we may all flourish to make the most of our future. Although I believe government’s role in people’s lives is vital, it should be limited, as envisioned by our Founding Fathers, because only with a limited government will we be able to pursue our own happiness.

I have kept this philosophy since I first took office, focusing on improving the founda- tions of what really impacts Orange County’s quality of life most - ensuring the public’s safety, presenting a responsible budget, and maintaining solid County infrastructure.

By working together, we are strong enough to keep these pillars firmly in place, creating better lives for ourselves, our children, and our grandchildren.

As I describe in detail some of the actions Orange County has taken over the last year, please know that each elected official, commissioner, or department head, and all the employees of Orange County work constantly to improve the lives of our fellow citizens. Whether you are specifically mentioned in this address or not, you are all part of Team Orange and you deserve our thanks for doing the people’s work.

Protecting the public is our top priority, and in Orange County that means a coordinated public safety effort between the District Attorney’s Office, the Department of Emergency Services, the Sheriff’s Office, and the Department of Probation.

In 2010, the Orange County District Attorney’s office continued their excellent track record that resulted in a felony conviction rate of over 95 percent. This office also works on preventing future crime through programs that divert and rehabilitate first-time offenders.

District Attorney Phillips has served as our DA since January 1986, seeking justice for those who have been victimized, while applying the law fairly yet firmly. He marks a milestone, having just completed his 25th year in office.

Please join me in congratulating and thanking Frank for his service to the people of Orange County… Commissioner Walter Koury oversees the five divisions that make-up the Department of Emergency Services. Together, Emergency Management, Fire Services, Police Liaison Ser- vices, Emergency Medical Services, and E-911 provide for the safety of all Orange County residents.

Several years ago, we invested in a new state-of-the-art Emergency Services Center, certainly a worthwhile commitment for the safety of our residents. Our facility’s fast growing reputation as the best Emergency Services Center on the eastern seaboard is an achievement of which we should all be proud. 68 REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, March 3, 2011

This past year, E-911 answered more than 260,000 calls, a 6.5 percent increase over 2009, and, along with the County’s Mental Health Department, created the County’s first address based 911 registration system for people with developmental disabilities, ensuring their safety.

Under the leadership of Deputy Commissioner Seamus Leary, Orange County is one of only 18 counties in New York State to be designated as “Storm Ready” by the National Weather Service.

In the Division of Police Liaison Services, Deputy Commissioner Craig Cherry is overseeing the completion of the Automatic Vehicle Locator Dispatching System, a real-time police response software system coordinated with 31 police agencies (including the Sheriff and State Police) and linking approximately 365 police vehicles, enhancing public and officer safety.

Police Liaison Services now also administers the Traffic Safety/Stop DWI Program focused on the safety of our young people, the future of Orange County.

These are just a few highlights from their daily work…

You may have heard media reports about two West Point cadets who were trapped on Storm King Mountain. What many people probably don’t know is the role that Orange County Emergency Services played in this 10 hour ordeal involving 13 municipalities.

Not only did the original 911 call for help come into our Emergency Services Center, but our E-911 staff worked for hours trying to find helicopter support that would take on a rescue mission with extremely high winds in midnight darkness. Once that challenge was met, Orange County’s enhanced 911 technology was used to triangulate the cadets’ cell phone signal to pinpoint their exact location resulting in their rescue.

I want to thank Allen Wierzbicki, Deputy Commissioner of E-911, who’s here today on behalf of his team.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office, under the leadership of Sheriff Carl DuBois, continues to secure the peace and safety of our citizens.

Last May, in another high profile media report, we saw how the Sheriff’s Office assisted the FBI, the Marshal Service, New York State Police and local authorities in coordinated pre- dawn raids in the City of Newburgh to combat drug trafficking and gang violence. These efforts were meant to bring hope to this city of 29,000 on the banks of the Hudson by crushing the gang culture there.

The Orange County Department of Probation has a mission to improve public safety. New for this department in 2010, was the implementation of policies and procedures to handle DWI cases sentenced under Leandra’s Law, as the department is designated the monitoring agency for Ignition Interlock Devices for both probation and conditional discharge cases.

After providing for the safety of our citizens, I believe the most important role of County government is to be a responsible steward of County finances. Every decision made is weighed against its potential financial impact in order to maintain and preserve our County’s fiscal health for future generations.

As I mentioned earlier, Orange County once again received a Triple-A Bond Rating by Moody’s Investors Service due to the conservative fiscal practices of my administration and this Legislature. This happened just last week. We should all be very proud of this distinction. REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, March 3, 2011 69

According to Moody’s, our County government enjoys a low level of risk, reflecting Orange County’s strong financial performance. We are one of only two counties in New York State to currently hold this distinction, and one of 87 counties out of 3,140 nationwide.

In addition, Orange County was awarded a Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting by the Government Financial Officers Association. We were also recognized as “outstanding” for our Popular Annual Financial Report.

These awards acknowledge governments who maintain high standards of excellence in financial reporting and demonstrate a spirit of full disclosure to clearly communicate a full financial picture to the public.

When speaking of the economy and finances, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention our job creation efforts. The future of Orange County will only be brighter if we have enough good paying jobs for our citizens. Job creation and retention are paramount to our sustainability as a thriving County.

That’s why I have tasked Deputy County Executive James O’Donnell to continue to direct the County’s Office of Business Assistance. This office works in cooperation with the Industrial Development Association (IDA), the Orange County Business Accelerator, the Orange County Chamber of Commerce, and the Orange County Partnership to attract and retain businesses in the County.

As a result of their efforts, last year we retained over 400 jobs, added 596 jobs for the residents of our County, and received over $80 million in capital investments in 2010.

We saw companies such as Kolmar Laboratories, Array Optronix, Taylor Biomass, C&S Grocers, Shortline/Coach USA and Satin Fine Foods either recommit, expand, or open businesses in Orange County last year.

Another bright spot in our efforts to retain and attract businesses is Stewart International Airport, now being managed by the Port Authority. Stewart is on the rise again after having made significant structural improvements and expanding services to more destinations, including its first international service, which started three weeks ago.

A key industry in Orange County, and one that I want to highlight, is agriculture. Agricul- ture is our number one industry. It has a rich history and a proud future in our County. During these difficult times we are committed to working with our partners in the agricultural community and continue to support this important industry.

Orange County is committed to doing everything we can to help our residents find jobs. Our Office of Employment and Training Administration (ETA), directed by Steve Knob, counsels job seekers on employment skills, making them more marketable to potential employers, while they also recommend candidates to local businesses.

In 2010, Orange County One-Stop Career Centers served more than 9,000 residents in our three cities. In total, ETA assisted in placing over 3,600 Orange County residents in employment, despite the poor economic climate.

ETA also hosted the 11th Annual Orange County Job Fair in May, at the Galleria Mall at Crystal Run, with 55 companies participating and 2,000 people attending, it resulted in approximately 400 job placements.

Together with the County’s Department of Social Services, and the Regional Economic 70 REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, March 3, 2011

Community Action Plan (RECAP), ETA helped open the Fresh Start Café culinary programs in Newburgh and Middletown. These programs offer an invaluable opportunity for trainees to make positive changes in their future as they acquire employment skills to successfully enter the workforce.

Programs and initiatives need to be reformed if we are to regain our title as Empire State. No matter how hard Orange County works to secure jobs for our residents, the fact is many businesses decide where to locate based on a state’s business environment.

Here in New York, the business community is often burdened with high taxes, never ending regulations, and an expensive work force - but it doesn’t have to be that way.

A good place to start is by repealing the MTA payroll tax. It’s the most unfair, regressive, job-killing measure that I’ve seen in all my years in government. Supporting the MTA at the expense of local employers is outrageous, especially given the disparity of dollars Orange sends to the MTA for the amount of service we receive. This tax obstructs job creation and continues to devastate our local economy.

In stark contrast to New York State’s budget issues, by working with this Legislature, Orange County has a balanced budget that reduces taxes by $4 million. It was presented on time and meets our obligations for critical services, while providing genuine tax relief for Orange County residents.

This is a difficult task considering that nine New York State mandates consumed 80 percent of Orange County’s property tax levy. Absent these mandates, Medicaid, Public Assistance, Child Welfare, Preschool Special Education, Early Intervention, Indigent De- fense, Probation, Youth Detention and Pensions, Orange County would have been able to reduce taxes much more than the $4 million we did!

Clearly mandate relief is no longer an option. It’s a necessity that has to happen now. The time for rhetoric is over. The time for action is now!

These services need to be reevaluated at the local level, where they are administered. The County needs a strong voice on the programs we deliver every day. We know where the system works well, where it breaks down, and how to make it more efficient and effective.

Medicaid in its current form is absolutely unsustainable. It looks nothing like the program that was initiated in the mid-1960s to serve as a simple safety net built on the platform of County services to provide for the health and welfare of its residents.

Orange County residents will pay $73.5 million this year to support Medicaid. The cost we pay per recipient is three times higher than other states because New York State requires that 39 services be provided, even though the federal government requires just 19.

I can assure you that Medicaid funding is one of the most critical issues facing County government. I urge our federal lawmakers to support the permanent funding of FMAP, the Federal Medical Assistance Program, which is a Medicaid matching rate that helps states pay for the shared costs of Medicaid.

We desperately need an overhaul in the State’s pension system.

In Orange County, we budgeted $22 million for New York State pension costs in 2011, an increase of $5.2 million, or 32 percent from 2010, and yet, we have little to no control over the pension benefits awarded to our own employees. By 2014, state-required contributions for REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, March 3, 2011 71

County pensions will consume nearly 25 percent of our entire County property tax levy!

During these trying financial times, we continue to support our fellow citizens who have fallen on difficult circumstances. The Orange County Office of Community Development, along with the Orange County Rural Development Advisory Corporation (RDAC), organized a foreclosure workshop series to help homeowners. Over the course of three weekend work- shops, representatives from six banks met with approximately 300 residents - one on one - to discuss and process loan modifications, in hopes of preventing foreclosure.

I’d like to focus now on Orange County’s internal infrastructure.

I believe responsible government means we should always be looking to improve how we serve the people. By reviewing what works, and what doesn’t, better policies may then be put in place for better results. This is good governance and makes great business sense.

This Legislature moved forward and funded a study that will give us options regarding the future of Valley View, the County’s licensed skilled nursing facility that provides 24 hour care, as it operates on an annual deficit subsidized by the taxpayers. The current subsidy is $18 million. The review of Valley View is being done in a responsible manner that takes into account the many aspects of government run healthcare. I thank the Legislature for taking this important action.

The New York State Berger Commission Report resulted in the closing of the Parry Building at Valley View. Unfortunately, with fewer residents to serve, staff reductions were necessary. When that decision was announced, I said that the County would stand committed to helping those workers get retrained and hired, and I stood by my word.

I’m happy to report, that as of today, 13 of these workers have been rehired, while others are being trained as Certified Nursing Assistants, enhancing their skills making them even more marketable. Orange County’s newly named Human Resources Department, along with the Department of Risk Management, and ETA worked hard for this positive outcome focusing on the importance of building human capital.

With the approval of the Legislature, we’ve restructured and streamlined operations in order to find new efficiencies.

A new department of General Services was created to centralize Procurement, Government Operations, Contract Compliance, and Grants. James Burpoe has been named the department’s first commissioner, unanimously confirmed by this Legislature.

This new department is working with the Municipal Electric and Gas Alliance (MEGA), a consortium that pools potential customers and bids out power loads to private energy service companies resulting in significant savings for the County.

I want to thank the Orange County Legislature for passing the resolution allowing Orange County to apply for membership in the Hudson Valley Local Government Cooperative Pur- chasing Project, allowing the County and even our municipalities and local non-profits to now take advantage of pooled purchasing of goods and services.

In these difficult times government must continue to find efficiencies in our operations. That’s why back in 2009 the County introduced the Lean Six Sigma program that focuses on customer satisfaction and enhanced performance geared to use project management to drive results. Orange County is customer driven, and we believe this training program enhances our employees’ efficiencies, production and interaction with the public, our customers. To date, 72 REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, March 3, 2011

100 County employees have been trained in this program.

We’re already seeing results. The County Department of Health’s Early Intervention division received the “Making a Difference” award from New York State Department of Health, a recognition the staff credits with their Lean Six Sigma training.

It’s no surprise to everyone here that our County Government Center is falling apart and will require significant and costly repairs to continue operating. We’ve already spent millions of dollars over the years on the maintenance of this now 44 year old building, including fixing the 85 roofs and replacing the overhang on the building’s façade.

Nine years ago, I spoke about the inefficiencies and need to address the inadequacies of this building. Today, I’m pleased that we are moving forward with the cost analysis study and exploring opportunities to build new. We look forward to the study’s findings later this year.

Commissioner Charles Lee directs the Department of Public Works, which is responsible for maintaining the County’s infrastructure. This department provides many services to the public in a safe, efficient, and cost-effective manner concentrating on the County’s buildings, roads, bridges, and solid waste management.

In 2010, DPW crews paved or surface-treated 34 miles of County roads, completed construction of Laroe Road, painted 20 bridges and replaced the deck structure for the Freeland Street Bridge in the Village of Monroe, and reconstructed Petticoat Lane Bridge in the Town of Crawford. DPW also oversaw the construction of Phase I for Gonzaga Park in southern Orange.

DPW also worked with the County Law Department to submit a Comprehensive County Solid Waste Management Plan to the New York State Department of Environmental Protec- tion; and one hundred forty-five thousand tons of material was processed at the County’s three Solid Waste Transfer Stations.

Additionally, our plans to improve Orange County’s airport are on target as we now have completed land acquisition of 71 acres to facilitate the expansion of the airport’s main runway to improve safety and allow for enhanced airport operations.

When speaking of the future of our County, we must make sure that we plan in a responsible manner. The Orange County Planning Department and Commissioner David Church continue to provide the framework for development that respects our overall master plan, environmental assessments, and provides consistent application of land use regulations. Last year the Department of Planning completed 497 reviews of individual planning or zoning permits referred by municipalities.

In addition, the first-ever Water Master Plan was developed jointly by the County of Orange, County Planning Board and Water Authority. The Planning Department took part in nearly two dozen public forums, meetings, and hearings to listen to residents’ comments, concerns, and suggestions on the topic. This plan addresses the County’s water supply and water resource protection priorities well into the future and was adopted by this Legislative body last year.

The County Comprehensive Plan was updated, and the 5-year review was also completed by the Planning Department. This included the first-ever chapters on affordable housing needs, water supply, and resource protection, as well as updated priority-growth area maps.

With a population of over 380,000, and as the fastest growing County in the State of New REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, March 3, 2011 73

York, most Orange County residents use the high quality services of County Clerk Donna Benson’s office, recording land records and court documents, utilizing one of the four County motor vehicle departments, obtaining passports, and other services.

Seniors are quickly becoming the major demographic in Orange County. The Office for the Aging works to protect seniors’ interests, while meeting their needs as valued contributors to our community. Directed by Ann Marie Maglione, this department bills itself as the first, and only, stop seniors need to make to receive County-wide services.

Aging’s programs include providing over 215,000 home delivered or congregate meals, in- home personal care, legal services, caregiver help, health and education services, volunteer opportunities, counseling on insurance, help with tax preparation, and assistance with the federal home energy program, HEAP.

At the same time, we must not forget the future of our County, our youth. It is with them in mind that the County invested in education by building a new SUNY Orange branch campus in Newburgh. I’m proud to report that Kaplan Hall was finished on time and under budget. In January, students began using the newly constructed state-of-the-art 87,000 foot educational facility.

In 2010, Orange County was recognized as one of the nation’s 100 Best Communities for Young People by America’s Promise Alliance, the nation’s largest partnership organization dedicated to youth and children. I’m very proud of this award as it shows we’re making the right choices in planning for our County’s future. I want to thank Orange County’s Youth Bureau Executive Director Carol Chichester for her department’s programs and services, which led us to this distinguished designation.

The Youth Bureau has been a County Department for 33 years and is funded by the State of New York, but in the governor’s recent budget address he announced the state will no longer financially support this office. I urge the New York State Legislature to review this decision and reinstate funding.

The Mental Health Department, led by Commissioner Chris Ashman, is responsible for the planning, development, and coordination of services in the field of mental health, developmental disabilities, and chemical dependency treatment and prevention within Orange County.

Recent tragedies with respect to teen suicide have highlighted the need for awareness and intervention and this department has been working closely with our schools, religious institu- tions, and community leaders to help our youth and families understand the choices available to them during times of crisis.

Commissioner Dave Jolly leads the County’s Department of Social Services (DSS), a department that provides and manages a wide range of social programs to help our friends and neighbors in need. In these challenging economic times, it’s no surprise to hear that families and individuals receiving temporary assistance increased in 2010 by over ten percent, and the Medicaid program realized a seven percent increase from 2009.

One of the innovative programs to help move people from dependency to independence is the Center for HOPE in Newburgh. This facility offers educational and recreational opportunities for youth and their families in order to provide an alternative to the negative influences affecting our youth.

Another successful initiative that will reduce costs and improve services is the Regional Managed Medical Transportation Services. This project will reduce the cost for Medicaid 74 REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, March 3, 2011 consumers receiving non-emergency medical transportation services, while improving service quality. Recognized for its innovation, this program was recently adopted by New York State as a model program.

As we all know freedom isn’t free; it comes at a dear price.

The Orange County Veterans’ Service Agency, directed by Tony Zippo, provides counseling and assistance to Orange County veterans, their dependents, and active duty personnel.

Director Zippo, his staff, and the Orange County Advisory Board, and the Orange County Veterans Coalition understand the special needs of this population: 26,715 veterans, with their dependents; nearly 100,000 people are being assisted by this department.

The agency operates a van service, which provides veterans and their dependents transportation to Veteran Affairs medical facilities from locations throughout the County. They run five days a week, with over 2,300 veterans using the service – an increase of 300 users over 2009.

In addition, more than 5,300 have enrolled in a new veterans discount program, a partnership between the County Clerk’s Office, the Veterans Agency, and more than 400 local businesses to provide discounted items and services to Orange County veterans.

Preventing disease and disability, while providing education regarding healthy living and ensuring healthy environmental conditions are top priorities for Dr. Jean Hudson and the Orange County Department of Health. This department monitors and protects the heath status and health needs of our residents. They are committed to promoting good health, nutrition, and an active lifestyle through educational programs, health screenings, and other opportunities to maintain wellness.

Our County government was recognized by the American Heart Association for promoting a healthy workplace for employees and encouraging a culture of physical activity in the workplace.

Orange County residents are fortunate to have many choices for outdoor pursuits at our award winning parks and recreational facilities. Commissioner Richard Rose reports that visits to our parks have increased four percent in 2010, from the previous year. Snow-tubing alone increased over 16 percent.

Orange County’s 11.5 mile Heritage Trail is a much beloved and used portion of our County Parks system. This has not gone unnoticed outside of the County. In this winter’s issue of “Rails to Trails,” a national membership publication of the non-profit organization Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, the Heritage Trail was praised for its accessibility and scenic setting.

See for yourself what a great resource we have here in Orange, take your family and friends to Orange County Parks located on 3,330 acres throughout our scenic County.

Orange County is committed to protecting the rights of our individual citizens. Last year, our Human Rights Commission, with its volunteer Board of Commissioners, worked hard to foster understanding and secure those basic human rights to which we are all entitled, and for that we thank them.

The County Attorney’s Office, under the direction of Counselor David Darwin, helps to maintain the efficiency, integrity, and fiscal soundness of Orange County in conjunction with REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, March 3, 2011 75 my office.

The County Attorney and his staff played an integral role in aiding the Planning Depart- ment to obtain a $3.5 million grant from the Department of Energy for power savings in County buildings and facilities. I want to thank this Legislature for having the foresight to expand this program to our local municipalities.

Critical to the future responsible development of our County is the consolidation of Orange County Sewer District No. 1. The County Attorney’s Office has cooperated with the Department of Planning and Environmental Facilities and Services (EF&S) to obtain a $49,000 New York State Department of State government efficiency grant to help fund the costs of establishing a governing body for this newly consolidated entity that will facilitate the reliable provision of wastewater treatment services to the entire area.

The world moves at an increasingly faster and faster pace these days. We see it with a 24 hour news cycle, a global marketplace, and in the way we communicate with one another.

Well, Orange County is keeping up…

Today, I’m proud to announce the launch of Orange County’s new website at www.orangecountygov.com. Our website has a new look, a more user-friendly feel, and is better designed to showcase our County and all of the services we have in place for our residents, businesses, and visitors.

It will be an invaluable resource as this new site enables users to now interact with County government by voicing comments and sharing feedback. With the new e-Notifications feature, information on topics of your choice may be sent right to your email.

By improving the way we communicate with the public, I hope to get more people, especially young people, excited about all we do here in Orange County. I’d like to hear from residents, know their thoughts, and have the opportunity to respond.

I invite you to visit us at www.orangecountygov.com, bookmark it for easy reference, and I encourage you to come see us there often.

In closing, I want to thank the Orange County Legislature for their work this past year. I appreciate the exchange of dialogue that helps us address the challenges that Orange County faces - together. I know we don’t always agree, but I hope you know that my decisions are based on what I believe to be in the best interest of the people of the greatest County in the State of New York.

Furthermore, let me take the opportunity to mention my staff who works hard each and every day for the people of this County, Donna, Sheri, Doreen, Melanie, Jennifer, Jimmy, Richard, Kristin and Orysia – thank you.

Last, but certainly not least, my family is a huge inspiration to me as I do the work I love in serving the people of Orange – my wife Mary, my daughters Danielle and Lindsey, my son- in-law Marty, my granddaughter Ava and my new grandson Marc, as well as my extended family – I want thank you for your continued support. Without you, none of this would be possible and much of this would not make sense.

The world is indeed changing quickly, but I assure you, Orange County is ready for tomorrow, as is evidenced by the actions of my administration and this Legislature. Residents should be confident that their interests are being guarded and the future protected. 76 REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, March 3, 2011

Fellow citizens, it is an honor and a privilege to serve as your County Executive.

Section 8. This Resolution shall take effect immediately.

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Berkman noted that in committee it was stated that there was already $200,000.00 in that account. He will support this resolution because a caucus member that was on the approving committee stated that there were some large projects coming up but there was no specific plan presented in committee and Mr. Berkman commented that they need to keep a watchful eye.

Mr. Benton responded to Mr. Berkman’s comment noting that Commissioner Lee stated that they expect to spend approximately $240,000.00 this year and when this request goes through the committee process every year, there is never an exact project list. The department knows what projects are more important and they prioritize the projects but, obviously, if something urgent comes up they may have to rearrange that order.

PHYSICAL SERVICES COMMITTEE:

Certificate of the Clerk relative to the placing on desks of Legislators copy of Local Law Introductory No. 1 of 2011 was presented to the Legislature. On motion the same was received and ordered placed on file.

Sponsors: Brescia, Castricone Co-Sponsors: Simmons, Anagnostakis, Paduch

A LOCAL LAW, BEING LOCAL LAW INTRODUCTORY NO. 1 OF 2011, ENTITLED “A LOCAL LAW AMENDING LOCAL LAW NO. 13 OF 2001, ‘A LOCAL LAW ESTABLISHING LAWS, RULES AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE USE OF LANDS AND PROPERTIES COMPRISING THE ORANGE COUNTY PARKS SYSTEM’ TO PROVIDE FOR THE REDUCTION OF CERTAIN PARK FACILITY RENTAL FEES FOR VOLUNTEER FIRE AND AMBULANCE COMPANIES.”

Seconded by Mr. Amo.

Mr. Castricone expressed his appreciation to everyone for allowing this local law to come before this Legislature. He expects to stay positive and focused on what they are trying to accomplish here today with the park fee reduction for volunteer fire and ambulance corps members. He explained that through the committee process there were many objections, concerns and ideas that were raised when they began to address the request by a fire company to use the park facilities for a picnic. During the process they narrowed and defined the law, and tried in the best way that they could, to send a positive and heartfelt thank you to those volunteers who answer the call day and night and put their lives on the line for their community. Mr. Castricone continued that last year these park fees for volunteer fire and ambulance corps would have accounted for $1,500.00 worth of fees to the County and, if this local law passes, the amount would drop to approximately $750.00. It is not a question of dollars when it comes to the County or the volunteer corps but it is about the Legislature standing up and saying “thank you” and that we appreciate those fire and ambulance corps volunteers and what they do and that they are invited to use the park facilities and the County will do everything possible to make it feasible and possible for them. He fully supports this local law and encourages the entire Legislature to do the same.

Mr. Amo commented that he disagrees with Mr. Castricone; however, he does agree that it is not about money but more about principle. He stated that it is a mistake to single out one group of people or looking at a small benefit for a group of people, not that they do not deserve it, but there are a whole lot of other folks that deserve it also. He pointed out that during the committee meetings there was a lot of discussion regarding the “slippery slope” issue of where do you begin and where do you end with such a critical issue. Additionally, during the morning “mock session” with the students, they raised some compelling arguments; there are some other folks in our County that are equally deserving of our gratitude and the benefit and why are they not being included. Mr. Amo suggested a motion to the local law which broadens it to include all volunteers because after hearing the previous proclamations on Autism Awareness and Sexual Assault Awareness, there are many people, including those from the Mental Health Association who volunteer to help people in Orange County.

Chairman Pillmeier advised Mr. Amo that he cannot amend this, it is a local law.

Clerk Whightsil explained that the local law needs to sit on the desks of the Legislators for seven days before it can be adopted.

Mr. Anagnostakis thanked Legislator Castricone for all the hard work that he put into this REGULAR MEETING - Friday, April 1, 2011 131 cause. He stated that approximately ten days ago, several local firefighters went into a home during a fire in the middle of the night risking not only their lives but actually pulling a young child from that fire and resuscitating the child; for all that they do for us, this is the least that we can do for them.

Mr. Eachus thanked Mr. Castricone for bringing this forward and for his effort in getting this out on the floor today but he cannot support this local law, as it is currently written, because it segregates out, not just all volunteer groups but certain emergency response groups. He added that there are a lot of groups that “rush in and risk their lives.” Mr. Eachus stated that he cannot be part of a resolution, although they should be giving as much as they can to the volunteer ambulance corps and fire departments, that will cut out other groups which are as deserving and he finds it incredible that they would sit here and say some groups are more deserving than others when they are specifically talking about emergency response groups. He added that he is very upset that they cannot, at this point, make an amendment to the local law and he will take the necessary steps to amend it at some point, whatever that requires, perhaps send it back to committee so that they do not have to choose from various groups.

Mr. Amo seconded Mr. Eachus’ motion to refer back to committee.

Mr. Depew thanked Mr. Castricone for his diligence, work and perseverance in bringing about this local law. He pointed out that Mr. Castricone did not sit on the committees that oversaw this local law but because he believed in it so strongly he followed through on six different occasions to come back to the Legislature over a period of several months to emphasize the importance of this type of legislation. This legislation began months ago and evolved into this local law through compromise and understanding and a majority of the Legislators want to support it and he suggested that they not send it back to committee, but vote on this local law today.

Mrs. Donnery commented that she also agrees with Mr. Eachus that it should be greater and more groups should be involved but she will support this local law today; however, she does not support sending this legislation back to committee. She complimented Mr. Castricone for his perseverance and stated that this does not need to take anymore time, they need to deal with this as it is and as his compromise has agreed to.

Mr. Lahey stated if he has an objection to this entire local law, it is the fact that they do not need a local law to govern fees. He does not think that they need this local law and they should go about that in another way, but that has already been addressed and sending it back to committee is doing more than just bringing back another law that he does not think they need. He suggested that they just vote on this today.

Mr. Anagnostakis commented that Mr. Castricone worked especially hard to advocate to get a benefit for a group of people that he believed should get this benefit and he fails to see the logic of withholding the benefit for most people because certain other people did not get the benefit. He stated if one believes that others should get the benefit, then they should work as hard as Mr. Castricone did to get the benefit and do not deny the benefit from those people that Mr. Castricone is fighting for. He urged everyone to vote against sending this back to committee and vote on this local law today.

Mr. Berkman stated that he would be pleased to send this back to committee. He does not think that the votes are there but despite Mr. Castricone’s valiant efforts and Mr. Eachus’ valiant efforts, he noted some deficiencies. This local law places the Legislature in a very peculiar situation since it does not include all volunteer emergency service responders. Mr. Berkman also mentioned that combat veterans are not included; they certainly have put their lives on the line for their country. He continued that those that oppose this local law were 132 REGULAR MEETING - Friday, April 1, 2011 discussing it with him and trying to convince him to oppose it because this opens the door to a wide range of inconsistencies which is understandable. Mr. Berkman commented that he would prefer to have further discussion in committee; it is not a waste of time at all. He addressed the students, stating that sometimes it takes months to get it right even on relatively small money issues and that is a part of the democratic process as well, so he is in favor of sending this local law back to committee.

Mr. Buckbee commented that he will be voting “no” to send this back to committee and will be voting in favor of the local law. He continued that, fortunately, in this Legislative process, if there is an oversight and a group is left out and should have been included, they can certainly remedy the situation with another local law in the future. Mr. Buckbee urged the Legislators to vote on this legislation today and not to send it back to committee.

Mr. Simmons commented that this has already gone through the committee process and they have spent enough time on it, so he respectfully requests that they vote today.

Mr. Amo pointed out that what he is hearing in support of this local law is more of let’s support it because of effort rather than supporting it because of outcome. They may want to think about what they are doing when they vote for effort rather than outcome. The outcome would be, are they really doing what is right for all of the volunteers; now is the opportunity to add those who they think need to be included. He voted against this in committee because he had difficulty with it. Certainly, they could bring about a new local law as Mr. Buckbee suggested, but they have to consider how long it took for Mr. Castricone to get to this point with the local law that they are considering today. He commented that there is an old adage that “one case makes bad law” and this is an example of that; let’s not change the law based on one case.

Mr. Depew clarified that his support of this is clearly not because of the amount of time it took to make it happen, but it’s to highlight the compromises that brought it here today. He continued with a prediction that the same Legislators that were against it from the beginning, despite the compromise and did not partake in the compromise to create what is here today, will be against it today but the majority of the Legislature is going to pass this local law.

Mr. Paduch thanked Mr. Castricone for bringing this back to the Legislature. He stated that Mr. Buckbee made an important point, and if they do send it back to committee to make the changes that they think are necessary, it may not come back to the floor next month. He suggested that they vote on this today and, as Mr. Buckbee suggested, make the necessary amendments in the next few months.

Mr. Hines agreed with Mr. Paduch and stated that he has been a volunteer fireman in Orange County for twenty-eight years and he represents seven different volunteer fire companies and this local law is a way of saying “thank you” for the effort that they make, as well as supporting Mr. Castricone for his efforts. He agreed that it could be amended if someone agreed to take on that effort; if Mr. Eachus agreed to do that, he would certainly be willing to listen in the future but there is no reason to move backwards at this point. They need to give the benefits to the volunteer fire and ambulance corps and they can always address additions in the future if they feel it is necessary. It’s not about the money, sure some fire departments can afford it and some cannot, it is just a way of saying thank you and keep up the good work. Mr. Hines reminded the Legislature that the County had a horrendous winter this year and they had tremendous efforts on behalf of the fire companies with flooding, building collapses, snowstorms, etc. and this is just a small gesture to say thank you. He fully supports this local law and he will vote against sending this back to committee.

Ms. Bonacic commented that she not will not support sending this local law back to REGULAR MEETING - Friday, April 1, 2011 133 committee; however, she thanked Mr. Castricone for his efforts and clarified that her vote is not based on his efforts but on the information she has today which was relayed by Mr. Castricone to the Legislators in the six times that he came before them. She addressed Mr. Eachus stating that she has an open mind, as do many of the Legislators here, to look at a possible future amendment to this local law.

On roll call, Mr. Eachus’ motion to refer back to committee was defeated by the following vote:

Ayes: Berkman, Amo, Eachus

Noes: Bonacic, Anagnostakis, Benton, Berardinelli, Bonelli, Brescia, Buckbee, Castricone, Depew, Donnery, Hines, Kemnitz, Lahey, Paduch, Pahucki, Simmons, Pillmeier

Excused: Burger

Ayes 3; Noes 17; Excused 1; Absent 0; DEFEATED.

The Local Law as originally presented follows: A LOCAL LAW, BEING LOCAL LAW INTRODUCTORY NO. 1 OF 2011, ENTITLED “A LOCAL LAW AMENDING LOCAL LAW NO. 13 OF 2001, ‘A LOCAL LAW ESTABLISHING LAWS, RULES AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE USE OF LANDS AND PROPERTIES COMPRISING THE ORANGE COUNTY PARKS SYSTEM’ TO PROVIDE FOR THE REDUCTION OF CERTAIN PARK FACILITY RENTAL FEES FOR VOLUNTEER FIRE AND AMBULANCE COMPANIES.”

Mr. Benton commented not to take away from anyone’s efforts because everyone has issues that are important to them but a local law is not really necessary for this request. He continued that no one is making negative statements regarding volunteer fire departments or ambulance corps; everyone knows the effort that they put forth and that they put their lives on the line with every call that they respond to. Additionally, this County could not survive if they had to pay the volunteers but this legislation is not necessary. Mr. Benton stated, as Legislators they manage a budget of more than $700 million so the amount of money is negligible; it’s the principle that the Legislators are not elected by their constituents to pass “warm and fuzzy” legislation or to say “thank you” but, what he hoped would really happen today since he is sure that this will pass, would be that the volunteer fire companies and ambulance corps would say, “thank you very much but we do not look for charity and we do not need the charity.” He stated that he will go back to his constituent, Mr. Frank Patterson who is the 3rd Vice President of the Orange County Volunteer Firemen’s Association, and ask him if the association has something that they need, whether it be equipment or training or anything that the Legislature can do for them that is actually going to be meaningful and can be utilized countywide by all departments.

Mr. Castricone expressed his appreciation for Mr. Benton’s comments and supports him wholeheartedly on that and stated that is exactly what they should do; however, he wanted to emphasize to everyone that this was not a cause that he went out searching for; it was the result of a letter sent to many of the Legislators from fire departments within many of their districts and he was very happy to bring this before the Legislature and he requested his colleagues’ support.

Mr. Eachus commented that he has been in contact with those other emergency response groups and he did make a promise to them, seeing that they have rented County facilities in 134 REGULAR MEETING - Friday, April 1, 2011 the past, that he would include them in this particular local law. He continued that he will change his vote to a “yes” vote with a number of, what he would consider to be, promises from this floor today of taking this back to committee at some point in time and looking at the possibility of adding other volunteer groups which he thinks will be acceptable to those other volunteer groups.

Chairman Pillmeier, a volunteer fireman himself, thanked the County of Orange for what they do for the volunteer fireman. The County has a “top-notch” fire training center on Route 17M so, as far as what the County gives to the volunteers for training, it is five-star. He also reminded those in attendance that in the past, the County would host an Orange County Firemen’s Field Day at the County Park, free of charge. He pointed out that at some point, it fell by the wayside. He referred to earlier comments noting that he does not know if they need a local law to do this but Mr. Castricone worked diligently and it is what it is and the votes are there to pass it. In sharing his opinion, Chairman Pillmeier concluded that the volunteers participate in a 24/7 operation, 365 days a year and they do a great, great service to this County.

WHEREAS, Article IX of the New York State Constitution and Section 40 of the Municipal Home Rule Law provide for the enactment of special laws by the New York State Legislature initiated by a Home Rule Request from a local municipality; and

WHEREAS, the Legislature of Orange County and the County Executive wish to send a Home Rule Request as to enactment of special legislation set forth in Senate Bill No. S5526 (2009) and Assembly Bill No. A7344 (2009) affecting N.Y.S. Tax Law Section 1210, et seq.; and

WHEREAS, the Legislature, by Resolution No. 121 of 2009 did previously impose an additional three-quarters of one percent (3/4%) use and compensating use tax for the period beginning December 1, 2009 and ending November 30, 2011, pursuant to legislative authority granted by the Legislature of the State of New York by its enactment of L.2004, c.22, Section 1 and Section 2, amending Section 1210 of the Tax Law; and

WHEREAS, the authority to impose the aforesaid sales and compensating use tax increase expires on November 30, 2011; and

WHEREAS, the Orange County Legislature and the County Executive find that it is absolutely necessary to extend the three-quarters of one percent (3/4%) increase to the sales tax rate for the period beginning December 1, 2011 and ending November 30, 2013 so as to provide revenue to meet the ever-increasing costs associated with the following required and/ or mandated, and severely under-funded programs, to wit: the Assigned Counsel program, Medicaid and employee pension plans; and

WHEREAS, it is hereby determined that a necessity exists for such legislation in that the County of Orange does not have the power to enact such legislation by Local Law;

RESOLVED, that we, the Orange County Legislature do hereby authorize the Clerk of the REGULAR MEETING - Friday, April 1, 2011 137

Orange County Legislature, on its behalf, to send a Home Rule Request pursuant to Article IX of the New York State Constitution and Section 40 of the Municipal Home Rule Law by the New York State Legislature so as to enact a Senate Bill and Assembly Bill for a Special Law authorizing and empowering the Orange County Legislature to adopt and amend Local Laws and Resolutions to extend the imposition of taxes pursuant to New York State Tax Law Section 1210 at a rate which is three-quarters of one percent (3/4%) additional to the three percent (3%) rate otherwise authorized in said statutes as made and provided, for the period beginning December 1, 2011 and ending November 30, 2013.

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Depew commented that the towns, villages and municipalities need this now more than ever so he asked that each Legislator support this knowing that the retail and sales tax in the County is paid for, a little more than 50%, by those who come from elsewhere so this is a way to help support our communities.

Mr. Lahey followed up on Mr. Depew’s comment noting that not passing this would cost the County $33 million and approximately $10 million of that is the cost to the local municipalities.

Mr. Amo commented that he hopes that when the County Executive negotiates this five years from now, that he is reminded of the Town of Woodbury which gives a large percentage of that, along with Legislators Depew and Paduch’s Town of Wallkill, which helps the municipalities.

Mrs. Donnery stated that when this tax was previously raised, she was very much against raising a tax but they all know how much our municipalities have come to depend on and, more than ever, need the dollars from this. She reiterated Mr. Amo’s request, asking that the County Executive remember Woodbury.

These funds are derived from Federal Fiscal Years 2011 and 2012 and of the total, $330,000.00 is being requested for the purchase of six (6) replacement Dial-A-Bus vehicles (all FFY 2011 funding), while $564,400.00 is being requested for operating assistance payments ($272,200.00 FFY 2011, $292,200.00 FFY 2012).

RESOLUTION NO. 65 OF 2011

RESOLUTION OF THE ORANGE COUNTY LEGISLATURE URGING THE NEW YORK STATE LEGISLATURE AND GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK TO ENACT ASSEMBLY BILL NO. A535 TO AMEND THE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY LAW AND THE GENERAL CONSTRUCTION LAW, IN RELATION TO THE DEFINITION OF “NEWSPAPER.”

WHEREAS, the manner in which information is disseminated to the general public has drastically changed with the evolution of technology. Today, many people receive “printed news” via the internet. Many news agencies and companies do not have a “paid circulation,” and thus do not meet the state requirements to qualify as a “newspaper” for purposes of publishing official notices for state and local governments; and

WHEREAS, Assembly Bill No. A535 seeks to amend the Limited Liability Company Law and the General Construction Law as to the definition of “newspaper” by deleting provisions of law requiring “newspaper” to include paid circulation. Section 102 of the limited liability company law would be amended to read as follows: “Newspaper” means any newspaper of REGULAR MEETING - Friday, April 1, 2011 139 general circulation which is printed and distributed on a daily or weekly basis and has been in business for at least one year immediately proceeding any publication advertisement, and which contains news, articles of opinion, features, advertising and any other matter regarded as current interest; and

WHEREAS, this Legislature finds that the proposed legislation will enhance the ability of local government to provide enhanced publications of legal notices in order to improve awareness and participation by the public.

NOW, THEREFORE, be it hereby

RESOLVED, that We, the Orange County Legislature, hereby urge the New York State Senate and Assembly and the Governor of the State of New York to enact A535 which amends the Limited Liability Law Section 102 and the General Construction Law Section 60 as to the definition of “newspaper;” and be it further

RESOLVED, that the Clerk of the Orange County Legislature forward a certified copy of this resolution to the Honorable Andrew Cuomo, Governor of the State of New York, the Speaker of the New York State Assembly, the Majority Leader of the New York State Senate and all Senators and Assembly Members whose Legislative Districts are in Orange County.

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Eachus stated that several months ago he brought forth a resolution that was passed by the Town of Cornwall which emulated this resolution and included a memorandum to the state so he is quite confident that the local towns would agree and support the resolution here today. This resolution would also reduce their costs and would allow them to use other methods of notification rather than exclusively using newspapers for publications.

Mr. Amo commented that this is such a long time in coming considering how far we have come with technology; twittering, facebook, etc. and he is surprised that everything in New York State is still being done on paper. He would hope that this resolution will result in a change so they can take advantage of the electronic media.

RESOLUTION NO. 66 OF 2011

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ORANGE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF EMERGENCY SERVICES, TO ACCEPT GRANT FUNDS FROM THE STATE OF NEW YORK DEPARTMENT OF STATE, PURSUANT TO SECTION 99-h OF THE GENERAL MUNICIPAL LAW AND SECTION 4.09 OF THE ORANGE COUNTY CHARTER.

WHEREAS, the 2007-2008 Senate Majority Initiative from Senator William Larkin through the State of New York, Department of State, has offered a grant in the amount of $30,000.00 towards the purchase and installation of a radio transmission tower to be located at Winding Hills Park for use by various emergency services agencies. Said tower will replace the existing structure which pre-dated the County’s acquisition of the lands, in 1967; and

WHEREAS, this Legislature does wish to accept said grant for the Department of Emergency Services as indicated above.

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby

RESOLVED, as follows:

1. That the County Executive, in conjunction with the Commissioner of Emergency Services, be and hereby is authorized to accept the 2007-2008 Senate Majority Initiative from Senator William Larkin through the State of New York, Department of State, a grant in the amount of $30,000.00 as indicated above.

3. That the County Executive be and hereby is authorized to execute all necessary documents and assurances necessary to carry out the purposes of this resolution subject to the review thereof by the County Attorney for purposes of form and content.

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Brescia explained that this was a grant that originated in the Town of Montgomery under the former supervisor and was brought to his attention by the former Fire Chief, Bob Reynolds because it was about to expire. He thanked Mr. Koury for picking up and resuscitating this grant because it is so crucial to so many emergency communication agencies in the Bullville, Pine Bush, and Montgomery area. This grant will be used to update the cell tower which was in place prior to Winding Hills Park being there. Mr. Brescia realizes that Mr. Berkman is concerned about public safety with cell towers in parks but he can assure him that public safety is more threatened by not having the cell tower there; it is in a remote, isolated area of the park where no one should be going. The tower will be shortened to some degree according to FAA regulations but it’s so crucial to emergency services and communications in that area. He continued that Legislators Bonacic, Simmons and Donnery will attest to “dead spots” in their areas and how crucial that is to not getting the proper emergency services to residents. He encouraged all Legislators to vote in support of this because it is important to many areas of the County. REGULAR MEETING - Friday, April 1, 2011 141

Mr. Simmons also thanked Mr. Koury and his entire staff. He added that the County cannot afford a breakdown in communication during an emergency and this goes a long way to assure that Orange County has the proper infrastructure to ensure that the communication carries on through these emergency situations.

Mr. Berkman asked if a SEQRA review was required for this request.

Mrs. Reed replied that it is exempt from SEQRA because it’s merely the replacement of a pre-existing condition.

Mr. Berkman thanked Mrs. Reed for that information and stated that he has a very serious concern about cell towers in public parks because it is a known hazard and they need to look at this with their eyes wide open; they are replacing a cell tower in a public park and he is concerned about children being mischievous around that tower and what harm could come to them and the liability the County would face. He continued that, in the interest of public safety and with some reluctance, he will support this resolution.

Mr. Simmons corrected those addressing this issue that it is a radio transmission tower and not a cell tower.

RESOLUTION OF THE ORANGE COUNTY LEGISLATURE FOR THE COUNTY OF ORANGE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS, THE OFFICE OF GENERAL SERVICES AND THE FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION TO LOCATE AN FBI FACILITY IN THE CITY OF NEWBURGH, ORANGE COUNTY, NEW YORK.

WHEREAS, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has outgrown its present office space in Goshen, New York and is looking to move its facility to a new location; and

WHEREAS, the FBI has been an integral component to the County’s law enforcement efforts in battling the high rate of crime, including drug and gang violence in the City of Newburgh. A local FBI presence in the City of Newburgh would greatly deter crime and provide a sense of security to the local community; and

WHEREAS, it has come to this Legislature’s attention that the City of Newburgh has not been included in the draft delineated area that the General Services Administration will use to conduct a market survey for potential sites for the new FBI facility. 142 REGULAR MEETING - Friday, April 1, 2011

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY

RESOLVED, WE, the Orange County Legislature, on behalf of the citizens of Orange County, hereby request that an FBI facility be located in the City of Newburgh; and it is

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Clerk of the Legislature be and is hereby authorized and directed to send a certified copy of this resolution to Hon. Barack Obama, President of the United States; Hon. Charles Schumer and Hon. Kirsten Gillibrand, United States Senators; Hon. Maurice Hinchey and Hon. Nan Hayworth, Members of the United States Congress; the President Pro Tem of the United States Senate; the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives; the Majority and Minority Leaders of the United States Senate and House of Representatives; Mr. John Scorcia, Acting Regional Administrator, Northeast and Caribbean Region of the Office of General Services; the Honorable Robert S. Mueller III, Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and to Mayor Nicholas J. Valentine, Mayor, City of Newburgh and to such other persons as the Clerk, in her discretion, may deem proper in order to effectuate the purpose of this resolution.

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Ms. Bonacic, on behalf of the Republican caucus, thanked Mr. Depew for his work on this resolution.

Mr. Berkman commented that this resolution has merit, particularly for the people of the City of Newburgh; it is a vote of confidence for their public security.

Mr. Hines stated that he spoke with a senior member of the FBI working in the mid-Hudson branch, who stated that he was absolutely in favor of this and that there are eighty-six agents that report to work in the field office. Mr. Hines stated that it would make a huge difference in the City of Newburgh with the presence of the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, the FBI and the City of Newburgh’s law enforcement, and hopefully, government can put aside whatever rules they have barring this to compromise to make this happen for the citizens of the City of Newburgh and all of Orange County and the State of New York.

Mr. Depew commented that the Legislators represent different parts of Orange County but Newburgh needs their help so they need to stand together on this issue. He continued that this is also an appeal to Congresswoman Hayworth by Orange County to support this resolution.

RESOLUTION NO. 76 OF 2011

RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING MAY 1, 2011 AS HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL DAY “YOM HASHOAH.”

WHEREAS, in 1953, Israel signed a law to recognize a day each year for all its citizens to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust “Yom Hashoah Ve-Hagevurah” (the day of remembrance of the Holocaust and Heroism); and

WHEREAS, in 2005, the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted a Resolution on the Holocaust Remembrance, reaffirming, among other things, (i) the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which proclaims that everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth therein, without distinction of any kind, such as race, religion and other status and (ii) that the Holocaust, which resulted in the murder of one third of the Jewish people, along with countless members of other minorities, will forever be a warning to all people of the dangers of hatred, bigotry, racism and prejudice; and

WHEREAS, today, Holocaust Memorial Day, is recognized internationally as the day to commemorate all those who were victims of the Holocaust and Nazi persecution, as well as the victims of earlier and later genocides - including victims of persecution in Armenia, Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia, Kosovo, Darfur and others - and to explore wider issues of prejudice, hatred, discrimination and community cohesion throughout the world.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY

RESOLVED, that the Orange County Legislature recognizes May 1, 2011, as Holocaust Memorial Day and We commend these sentiments to every citizen of Orange County that all might remember and reflect upon the Holocaust and more recent genocides as a clear warning of where racism and other forms of prejudice and discrimination can lead.

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Berkman addressed the students stating that they had an interesting day today and it’s appropriate that at the end of this day there is a serious moment; this resolution is to honor the memory of the millions of people who perished during the Holocaust.

Mr. Simmons reiterated what he said last year, he will never forget the day when he saw an elderly woman with the numbers tattooed on her forearm. He noted that in the state of the world today where there are people out there actually denying that the Holocaust ever happened, it is important that they memorialize and commemorate the Holocaust each and every year.

REGULAR SESSION

Thursday, May 5, 2011

(The Legislative Session was preceded by a Public Hearing re: Proposed Local Law to provide an exemption from real property taxes and special ad valorem levies for capital improvements to residential buildings in accordance with New York State Real Property Tax Law Section 421-f)

The Legislature convened in Regular Session at 3:31 p.m. today.

I would like to take a moment to make a comment on the recent world events on behalf of myself and the Orange County Legislature.

I offer my sincere thanks and congratulations to our Commander-in-Chief, President Barack Obama for leading the United States Armed Forces and, specifically, the United States Navy Seals and CIA operatives in tracking and taking down World Enemy No. 1 Osama Bin Laden. They are all brave individuals who did not waiver when responding to the call of duty to risk their lives in the name of “Justice for All.”

Today and each and every day, I am very proud to call myself an American. So, when you stand today for a moment of silence and pledge to the flag, I ask you to remember those friends and family lost on September 11, 2001, our local soldiers who have died or were injured in the war against terrorism and all those in our Armed Forces serving around the world defending our way of life.

The Legislature was called to order by Chairman Pillmeier with a moment of silence and the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.

On roll call, all members were present.

Chairman Pillmeier and County Executive Diana presented proclamations acknowledging Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week, May 1 through May 7, 2011 and National Tourette’s Syndrome Awareness Month.

Chairman Pillmeier made the following remarks:

The Honorable M. William Lahey: a great leader, a true friend, a loving husband, a caring father and as his wife, Judith would say: “a doting grandfather.”

Bill Lahey was laid to rest on April 20, 2011, but his accomplishments in this Legislature will last forever.

In preparing for this speech, I looked over the minutes of our Legislative sessions for the past several years and reflected on the words of his brother, Eddie, who spoke at his funeral service. I recalled our many conversations about family, friends, politics, and yes, even the horses. And with all that, I am proud to call Billy a dear friend and colleague.

At the beginning of each legislative term, there are 21 individuals elected to serve the people of Orange County. In 1998, the freshman class of Legislators included Bill Lahey, Michael Amo, Jeffrey Berkman, Leigh Benton, Roxanne Donnery and Michael Paduch. At the beginning of each legislative term, 21 people, some of whom have never really met are thrown together to set the policy and finances for the County of Orange. I hope those REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, May 5, 2011 157

Legislators who began their legislative careers with Bill Lahey will have fond memories of their time with him.

As we have all come to learn, being a County Legislator is a great responsibility and requires a big commitment from us and our families. Bill had that commitment and volun- teered his time to serve on additional committees and took personal interest in the County’s economic development programs and Orange County Community College.

I met Bill Lahey in 2001, when I first ran for Legislator. Bill and I were close in age. Our backgrounds different. Bill a college educated man, an IBMer from the northeastern part of the County. Mike Pillmeier a local produce farmer, a high school graduate from the mucklands of Florida, New York. He, being well versed in finance and business development. Me, having personal experience in agriculture, public safety issues and infrastructure.

We found common ground and we quickly became friends. We both applied the same work ethic for the betterment of our County.

As time passed, we were both selected to leadership positions and sat on many subcommit- tees together. Believe me, I spent a lot of time with Bill. Sometimes we would be together all day, and then have a function at night or over the weekend. And just as either one of us was ready to settle down for the evening, we would get a call at 9:30 or 10:00 at night from the County Executive on a county matter that needed to be attended to.

Bill and I didn’t always agree on legislative matters. We both could put up a pretty good argument and we were both stubborn and we didn’t always see eye to eye on things. And sometimes we didn’t even talk because we let our views get in the way of our friendship. And I am sad to say that this is the most difficult part of being a politician.

The residents of Orange County surely got a bang for their buck with Bill Lahey. He never shied away from helping the residents of Orange County whether they were his constituents or not. That was very apparent to me when we travelled around the County meeting residents who wanted their lands included in the County’s agricultural districts. He took the time to hear their story, to see their vision and wish them well in their new business venture. He was a strong supporter of our local veterans and took great pride in supporting our troops.

As our Chairman, he would make us all proud by pointing out all of our accomplishments in the prior year and then set a legislative road map for us in the new year.

Bill Lahey was a team player and moved with the times. When this Legislature was divided with membership of 10-10-1, Bill, the realist, took the rein and worked with the Democratic and Independence Party leadership to assure the residents of Orange County that business and key County issues and projects continued to go forward.

Bill liked the game. His competitive nature always landed him on the winning team of politics and county issues. His vision was always clear and steady. He thoroughly studied each matter and made great use of all the County Department Heads, professionals and consultants. He sought input from County residents and businesses that would be impacted by his legislative decision. And once he found his position, he would then lobby his fellow Legislators and the County Executive for their vote.

Bill was always the diplomat in handling controversial issues. He had a very casual but direct approach in his attempt to sway Legislators over to his way of thinking. He would call you, ask to meet you at your favorite diner or meet for a slice of pizza or a hot dog to try to convince you about the pending vote. But let there be no mistake, if you did not agree with 158 REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, May 5, 2011 him, he had no problem getting down and dirty on a policy matter for which he believed in. He did not cave in to personal agendas or voting on an issue for self-preservation at the election booth.

On the floor of this Chamber, Legislator Lahey’s arguments were well thought out. He not only grasped the issues but could argue any point raised. He was a stickler for detail and would correct any of us when, in the heat of the moment, a misstatement was made. And, if, at the end of the day, his position did not win, being a true gentleman, Bill would shake your hand and move on to the next month’s legislative issues.

Bill Lahey believed it paramount that all Legislators had a duty and responsibility to be well prepared and well versed in County business. He set the bar high for all of us and all of those who will follow in his footsteps.

And if I may borrow a few words from the Times Herald-Record about Bill: “By never wavering from those old-fashioned values, he did his job well, and more importantly, set an example for others.”

I want to thank you, Judith, for sharing Bill with us. It has been an honor and privilege to serve with the Honorable M. William Lahey from New Windsor, New York. Mrs. Lahey I speak on behalf of the entire Legislature, when I say we will miss him very much.

In closing, I would like to say one more thing about Bill. He liked a good horse race, a good steak, a good hot dog, a game of chance and my sweet corn from the farm.

Judith, if you could please come down so that we can present you with a Resolution in Memory of M. William Lahey which will be voted on by this Legislature and remain forever in the minutes of this Legislature.

Chairman Pillmeier introduced Bill’s son, Michael who accompanied Judith today and presented them both with a Resolution honoring the memory of M. William Lahey.

Mrs. Lahey wished the Legislators continued success as they represent their constituents and prays that they do the job that they were elected to do to the very, very best of their ability. She thanked the Legislature for honoring her husband today.

Senator William J. Larkin, Jr., spoke to the Legislature about his friend, M. William Lahey and presented Mrs. Lahey with a proclamation honoring his memory.

By Ms. Bonacic:

RESOLUTION NO. 77 OF 2011

RESOLUTION OF THE LEGISLATURE OF THE COUNTY OF ORANGE HONOR- ING THE MEMORY OF M. WILLIAM LAHEY, OUTSTANDING CITIZEN, DEDICATED PUBLIC SERVANT AND COUNTY LEGISLATOR FOR THE ELEVENTH LEGISLATIVE DISTRICT.

WHEREAS, it is fitting and appropriate to recognize the career and life of an outstanding citizen, dedicated public servant and respected friend and colleague on this, the first regular meeting of the Orange County Legislature after his passing; and

WHEREAS, M. WILLIAM LAHEY established a prominent and admired place in the local and County community. He epitomized the fundamental virtues upon which our Nation is founded and set an example to which all persons may aspire. The life of M. WILLIAM LAHEY demonstrates that love of and service to his country, family, community and a personal conviction to work hard and strive for excellence are key to a life of fulfillment; and

WHEREAS, M. WILLIAM LAHEY was an active participant on the Newburgh Enlarged City School District’s Board of Education, New Windsor Town Board, the YWCA of Orange County and the Town of New Windsor Little League; and

WHEREAS, M. WILLIAM LAHEY influenced every important public policy decision 160 REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, May 5, 2011 made during his outstanding thirteen-year Legislative career. During his tenure he served on or chaired numerous Legislative committees, including the Health and Mental Health, Person- nel and Compensation, Rules, Enactments and Intergovernmental Relations, Ways and Means, Social Services, and Education and Economic Development Committees. He was also Major- ity Leader for four years and Chairman of the Legislature for three years. During his time on the Orange County Legislature, this Legislature instituted the Office of Medical Examiner and Electrical Licensing. He appointed the first Green Building Study Committee which led to the adoption of LEED standards in County and community college facilities. He was one of the driving forces in the establishment and construction of the Orange County Community College Newburgh campus. He supported the rehabilitation of the Fire Training Center and the Graham Skea Lodge. His commitment and service to the County is deeply appreciated.

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby

RESOLVED, that We, the Legislature of the County of Orange do hereby formally memorialize our profound sentiments on the occasion of the passing of our true friend and colleague M. WILLIAM LAHEY, on behalf of ourselves and of all the People of the County of Orange to whose interest and service he was so dedicated; and it is further

RESOLVED, that this Resolution be spread upon the records of this body as a permanent memorial and as an enduring standard for its members and for all citizens; and that a certified copy hereof be conveyed to the family of M. WILLIAM LAHEY in token of our esteem and remembrance at this time of our sorrowful loss.

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Legislator Brescia thanked the Chairman and Senator Larkin for their warm speeches summing up Bill Lahey, the man and the leader, to perfection. In Mr. Brescia’s seventeen years in this esteemed body, he’s not sure that he had a better friend than Bill Lahey. Bill left his mark on so many people. He was so insightful. He will miss his counsel, his wisdom, his dry sense of humor, quick wit, his ability to get things done and, most importantly, his ability to see through “the bull.” Bill was persuasive and he did his homework. Mr. Brescia pointed out that he was going to vote one way on the new OCCC campus, but after Bill gave him a tour of the site, Mr. Brescia changed his mind. Bill taught Tony Marino how to drive. That’s how Bill was, he was inspirational. Mr. Brescia has always marveled at the “great thinkers” that have come out of New Windsor; Bill Larkin, George Green, Jim Wright, Jim Petro, Pat Mullarkey, Judith Lahey and others, but certainly, Bill Lahey was right at the top of that list. He had such a great sense of humor. In a final note, Mr. Brescia thanked Bill for serving with distinction and for the great memories and, most importantly, for being a great friend.

Legislator Anagnostakis shared the following thoughts with the Legislature:

Bill Lahey was a blessing to us and to Orange County. He inspired each of us on how to do things right…how to be proper Legislators…how to appreciate the position we held.

No one ever gave more meaning to the title, “Orange County Legislator.” His dedication to his job should be an inspiration to all of us. His preparation should be an inspiration to all of us. His knowledge of the facts should be an inspiration to all of us. An inspiration to do more, to work harder and to learn all we can in the job that we do.

These last few weeks we have mourned Bill’s loss and today once again we share in that grief. But through that sorrow, perhaps we can find the strength to follow his inspiration.

Early last year, as I was just starting my first year as a Legislator, one day Bill asked me out REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, May 5, 2011 161 to lunch. Over the next fifteen months we ended up going out to lunch maybe eight or ten times. We talked about things most people would find boring; we talked about IBM and Central Hudson, we talked about profit margins and dividend increases, we talked about finances and budgeting on the County level and we talked about lots of numbers, but surprisingly, he also often talked about the one person he truly loved, his wife Judith.

Sitting here today, I wish I could have had more privileged time, hundreds of more lunches with Bill Lahey.

But now, death has done what death most invariably does and Bill Lahey has gone home to his eternal home, but he has left each one of us here today, each one of us who grieve his passing, a roadmap of how to be better at what we do…and, that roadmap is the spirit of Bill Lahey living within each of us until our work is done.

May God Always Bless Bill Lahey and His Family.

Legislator Eachus jokingly stated that, although, he is not on Mr. Brescia’s list of “great thinkers” of New Windsor, he too has had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Lahey. Mr. Eachus said that he is one of those on the “other side of the aisle” and he concurs with everything that has been said here today. Bill worked with them, he conversed with them and he definitely had his opinions. Mr. Eachus had the opportunity to have several private conversations and discussions with him and he definitely was a great man. Bill was a mentor to him and he considered him a friend. He thanked Judith for sharing Bill with them.

Legislator Bonelli commented that all of the statements heard here today are absolutely true. The Legislature is facing a huge void in the passing of Bill Lahey and she personally thanked Judith Lahey and family for sharing Bill with this Legislature. She pointed out that for the Legislature coming in 2009 there was some discussion as to whether or not Bill would run again. They are certainly blessed that he decided to. On a personal note, she has known Bill Lahey for many, many years but, quite frankly, he was only a guy that hung out with Alan Seidman when she was a Blooming Grove Supervisor and Alan was one of her Legislators. She really got to know Bill when she was involved with “Tribute to Women of Achievement of Orange County” with fundraising efforts countywide, it actually honors Bobbie Lahey, Bill’s first wife. Bill was always there to pay tribute to that year’s recipient and his family was very supportive of that. He was a good friend, he was a mentor, as many have said, but what she is going to miss the most is that they actually called each other “seat buddies” and she is definitely going to miss her “seat buddy” but she knows he is up there looking down on them.

Minority Leader Berkman stated that the Democratic caucus proudly joins in the accolades of husband and father, Bill Lahey. Not only did he like Bill Lahey, he respected him. He was always engaging and very helpful to him, especially when they were first siting the OCCC Newburgh campus, which was very controversial for Mr. Berkman. He insisted on going to an open meeting which they tried to cancel and Bill Lahey stood up not only for Mr. Berkman, but for the process. He continued that Mr. Lahey was also influential in regard to the Electrical Licensing. He was the Chairman of that committee and he ran it with total fairness. Lastly, it may be a shock to some of his democratic colleagues, but occasionally, he would have lunch with Mr. Lahey. What he will miss most is when Mr. Berkman would vote in a way that was not agreeable to Mr. Lahey and Mr. Lahey would lean over and they would have some “frank and candid” conversations going back and forth. He is a man that they all respect and whose memory and example they can all learn from.

Legislator Donnery remarked that she and Bill came into the Legislature together and sat on some of the same committees and from day one he teased the “living daylights” out of her and it never stopped. That was just Bill. She said that a funny thing happened recently when 162 REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, May 5, 2011 they were both in the airport together; he was on his way to visit family and she was on her way to visit her family, it was February. In the airport she saw someone waving at her and calling her name, it was Bill. They spent a bit of time together before they got on their separate flights; it was a different kind of conversation because it had mostly been professional but now it was more personal. It was special. She also discovered something about him that day, she discovered that he hated to fly and she told him she was not exactly thrilled with it either. Mrs. Donnery said their prayers will be with Judith and all the family and Bill will be greatly missed.

Majority Leader Bonacic shared with Judith that Bill was a friend first and her mentor second. She shared many of her own memories of Bill. Ms. Bonacic said she will miss his honesty, which everyone appreciated. His honesty was so much so that she’s going to miss him telling her when she needs a haircut. Ms. Bonacic said that Bill is going to be missed; he was a great guy with a great family. She thanked Judith for sharing him with them because he was very valuable to them in every way.

Mr. Castricone commented that he knew Bill for exactly nineteen months and he took him under his wing. He was so generous with spirit and information. Even when Bill disagreed with something that he was working towards, he still shared with him how to accomplish it. In listening to everyone share their memories of Bill, he found it amazing that Bill made everyone in this room feel exactly that way; what a generosity of spirit it took for him to accomplish that. Mr. Castricone thanked Judith for sharing Bill with them. “God Bless Bill and God Bless his family.”

Mr. Hines laughingly told Mr. Castricone that he was a little jealous because he thought Bill had picked him out as somebody special. He said that it’s tough to see the empty chair in front of him. He did watch Mr. Berkman and Bill banter back and forth. He agreed when Mr. Brescia said that Bill would sit back in his chair and fold his arms across his chest when he didn’t agree with something that was said. Mr. Hines said that Bill would also shake his head continuously when he was in agreement with him as if to say, “keep going, you’re right on target, for a change.” He will miss his e-mailed jokes. Sometimes Bill would even e-mail him information he thought he could use for his job. He considered Bill a friend and what he will take most from Bill would be when Bill would see him leave the room when things were not going in the way he expected and Bill would pull him aside and say, “remember, politics is not personal” and that’s how he operated and Mr. Hines said that it’s an important lesson that he learned. Mr. Hines said that he’s happy to say that he knew him and he was a friend.

Mr. Buckbee commented that he did not get to spend much time with Bill and, he jokingly stated that he feels a bit envious that he didn’t take him under his wing at all. He said that Bill led directly but he also led by example and that’s what he will take from Bill. There was no one more prepared than Bill. He will be missed.

Mr. Simmons said that he didn’t know Bill for a long time, but he was fair and he was honest. He will be missed.

Mr. Depew stated that he and Bill also shared some pretty good battles but he had so much respect for him and they had some great times. He remembers after the last storm, cutting down a willow tree for him and Judith and the laughs that they shared over that event. He will miss him so much. Mr. Depew said he would come home from a meeting and be so “geared up” over Bill Lahey and where he stood on an issue or what he said regarding an issue that they did not see eye to eye on. When he came home and told his wife that Bill had passed away she said that she was so sorry about his friend. She knew deep down just how important Bill was to him and in building a better Legislator. He made all of the Legislators more prepared to do their job REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, May 5, 2011 163 better than they intended to, whether they knew it or not. Thank you for everything Bill Lahey.

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Berkman thanked Mr. Paduch for his leadership on this issue and he certainly hopes that it passes.

Mr. Depew stated when they look at the potential for this law, the intentions are correct. Orange County residents, as well as the nation, are going through tough economic times and the intention of this law is to give those individuals who want to expand the square footage of their home, a small tax freeze for seven years, which will allow them to re-invest that money back into their properties and that’s the right way to go. He fully supports this tax freeze. He represented this legislation before the Rules, Enactments and Intergovernmental Relations Committee when Mr. Paduch was unable to attend. He encouraged his colleagues to vote in support of this local law.

Mr. Pahucki likened this local law to the homeowners IDA (Industrial Development Agency); a tax break that businesses certainly appreciate and now homeowners can take advantage of. Homeowners do have to ask for this tax freeze and, hopefully, the County’s media outlets will extend the information to the public. Mr. Pahucki pointed out that this law was presented many years ago when he and Mr. Paduch were first elected and it wasn’t easy back then with only five Democrats and the remaining Republicans. It fell back onto common sense that it was good for the residents of Orange County. Mr. Pahucki wholeheartedly supports this legislation as he always has.

Mr. Simmons agreed that it is good for the residents of Orange County and he fully supports it. He suggested that they encourage the municipalities within the County to enact the same type of legislation within their jurisdiction.

Mr. Castricone thanked Mr. Paduch and Mr. Depew for their leadership on this issue. He added that it was the first time he was lobbied for his vote by both the Democratic and Republican caucuses. He stated that it is also important that the contractors working in each of the Legislators’ districts are aware of this law because it will give them the opportunity, when they are putting in their bids, to discuss the possibility that the homeowner may be eligible for the tax freeze. REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, May 5, 2011 167

Mr. Paduch expressed his appreciation for all of the great comments today. He said in 1998, when he first sponsored this law, there was a six month battle over this law. In the end it passed 14 to 5 because it was the right thing to do, just like it is today. He is very proud to have sponsored it then; it had a sunset clause, which was voted on again in 2002. Mr. Paduch commented that Mr. Lahey initially was against it but after those first two years, he was proud to support it. There is no sunset clause this time but it’s a good thing for the residents of Orange County. He stated that they do need to reach out to the municipalities because so many are not aware of it. In 1998, Mr. Paduch tried to get Home Depot involved by promoting this law and its 421-f benefit, but it didn’t work. He has reached out to building inspectors asking that they include a list of all the exemptions that homeowners can take advantage of but that didn’t work either. He suggested that all of the Legislators reach out as representatives of their own municipalities to encourage this benefit. Mr. Paduch stated that he is very proud to have sponsored this legislation and he’s proud to have all of the Legislators join him in sponsoring it today.

Mrs. Bonelli commented that when she first heard about this, and, recognizing that it was something that was done a while ago, it had “sunsetted” and it was presented as having no real popularity to it, caused her to be quite hesitant about supporting it. She was not lobbied for her vote but she witnessed the presentation by Legislator Depew and his passion, his comments and his approach to this, demonstrated that it may not have been something that worked in the past but now may be time to try it again. Times are different, the climate out there is different and if they can do something to help the people of Orange County then they must do so. She recognizes Mr. Paduch’s passion but it was the recent presentation by Legislator Depew that has changed her vote and she will vote in support of this legislation.

Ms. Bonacic thanked Mr. Depew and Mr. Paduch for the bi-partisanship on the issue. The vote resulted as follows:

Mr. Depew stated that he voted against this in committee because the Legislature has spoken very clearly to the Department of Public Works and has asked them to visit a new software technology for fleet management. He voted against it in committee because the Legislature deserves to have the best information presented to them from every department at all times and the software program, if they find the right one, and put the appropriate information into it, will give them the best possible information back out of it. After meeting with Commissioner Lee and having a very long educational discussion, for both of them, he is 172 REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, May 5, 2011 going to support this today because he believes Commissioner Lee has a newfound appreciation for what the Legislature is trying to do and he’s onboard with the software program.

Mr. Berkman asked that his name be withdrawn as a sponsor on this local law because he actually voted against imposing a surcharge tax of $.35 on cell phones so it would be inconsistent for him to be the sponsor; however, he would be consistent with his record of opposing it but there comes a time when one must let go of an issue and just look toward the future. The local law reflects the only remaining segment of people using phones that are not taxed and several of his caucus members reminded him that if they were calling for E-911, it’s an equal responsibility to have them pay their bills as much as anyone else. He will vote in favor of this legislation.

Mr. Pahucki explained that Agenda Item No. 19 is different than the other six grant resolutions because there is a no “sunset clause” so he moved to add a RESOLVE, which the other six resolutions have, it states…”that the retention of services be provided by Orange County and funded by this subject grant shall terminate absolutely upon the exhaustion of the availability of said grant monies, and that no additional obligation to provide for employment or for the continuance of said services at the expense of the County shall be implicitly or explicitly required.” Unless there was some overriding reason why, he would think that $190,000.00 for two people is something that they would seriously need to consider and would also have to go before the Personnel and Compensation Committee, seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Anagnostakis urged his colleagues to vote against Mr. Pahucki’s amendment; they have had ample time within the committee process to make changes and that’s where it should be discussed, not on the floor today.

Mr. Berkman commented that is part of the Legislative process; when they see something that may be enhanced or not to their liking that they bring it to the attention of the Legislature. There are times when it may not be noticed in committee. He complimented Mr. Pahucki for noticing the difference between this resolution and the others and he does not see how it’s harmful to the cause in any way. If there is a time that they need to re-address it in the future, they can do that. He supports this today, unless someone can come forward with a reason not to.

Mr. Depew suggested that they move Agenda No. 19 to the end of the agenda and suspend 186 REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, May 5, 2011 discussion to give Legislative Counsel some additional time to review what Mr. Pahucki is requesting.

Mrs. Reed explained that she is reviewing the documentation because sometimes the money that is received is considered to be for grant programs, but in actuality, it is excess money that the State has for a mandated program that the County is required to have under New York State Public Health Law and because this is for immunization, it may fall under the mandated programs. As she reads further, she informs the committee that this is extra money that the County is receiving from the State to provide the services. She continued that the other resolutions are different programs and not mandated programs so the language may be different in this resolution but not because of an oversight, but because it’s a mandated program.

Mr. Pahucki asked for clarification that this resolution is not for new hires, but the funds are going to staff already employed.

Mrs. Reed replied that is her understanding because the Department of Health and the monies that they receive from New York State comes down in different “bundles” so they will receive the first amount as a reimbursement rate and then if there is excess money, the counties will apply for it in a grant format but receive it anyway because they have to run the program. They have not asked for additional personnel, just funding positions that they already have.

Mr. Pahucki was satisfied with Mrs. Reed’s explanation and asked that Mr. Depew withdraw his motion so that they can discuss this further.

Mr. Depew stated that there was no “second” on his motion.

Chairman Pillmeier interjected that the Legislature is discussing Mr. Pahucki’s amendment already so they do need to vote on that amendment.

Mrs. Reed asked Mr. Pahucki if he is withdrawing his amendment.

Mr. Pahucki said that he wanted to be sure that he completely understood the resolution; there are no new hires.

Mrs. Reed suggested that the Statutory Chair of the Health and Mental Health Committee, at their next committee meeting, have the Department of Health explain how these extra funds that come down to the County in the form of grants, affect and impact our budget and how they are administered.

Mr. Pahucki explained the reason for his question, noting that the other resolutions basically show indirect costs that go into the program and he does sit on the Personnel and Compensation Committee and was not aware of this request. He withdrew his amendment but asked that he retain the floor to continue to discuss this item.

Chairman Pillmeier asked for clarification from Mr. Pahucki regarding his amendment.

Mr. Pahucki clarified that he has withdrawn his amendment. Chairman Pillmeier added Agenda Item No. 19 with Agenda Item Nos. 20 to 25 to be voted on collectively, seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

RESOLUTION OF THE ORANGE COUNTY LEGISLATURE ASSUMING LEAD AGENCY STATUS UNDER STATE ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY REVIEW ACT (SEQRA) WITH RESPECT TO THE INCLUSION OF THE ITT WATER TECHNOLOGY, INC. MANUFACTURING AND WAREHOUSE FACILITIES LOCATED IN AUBURN, NEW YORK AS A SUBZONE SITE ASSOCIATED WITH FOREIGN TRADE ZONE NO. 37, AND DECLARING THE PROJECT TO BE AN UNLISTED ACTION AND ISSUING A NEGATIVE DECLARATION.

WHEREAS, Orange County intends to include the ITT Water Technology, Inc., manufacturing facility located at 1 Goulds Drive, Auburn, New York and a warehouse located at 2 Willey Street, Auburn, New York as a Foreign Trade Zone subzone associated with Foreign Trade Zone No. 37; and

WHEREAS, in compliance with the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA), the Legislature of Orange County assumes Lead Agency status based on a review of Part I of the Environmental Assessment Form (“EAF”), and the assessment indicates that the project will not have any significant adverse environmental impacts.

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby

RESOLVED, as follows:

1. That the Orange County Legislature declares its itself as lead agency for the environmental review of the action pursuant to 6 NYCRR 617.6;

2. Classifies the Project as an Unlisted Action and issues a Negative Declaration.

Seconded by Mr. Castricone.

Mr. Berkman commented that this resolution brings up several interesting points for him because he is an advocate and strong supporter of the Foreign Trade Zone; he’s been appointed to the oversight committee along with Legislator Berardinelli but he is concerned since this is REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, May 5, 2011 203 an out-of-county application and there is no real incentive to do an extensive investigation. He said that he did call the Planning Department to see what efforts were made and they stand by their document; he is going to support this but he has some concerns. He always has concerns regarding SEQRA, he’s a frequent “no” vote on these kind of issues because they take the process a little too lightly. He took it upon himself to call ITT Water Technology, Inc. and has a letter from one of the Vice Presidents, Jane Dobson who verifies that they are under no environmental clean up obligation at this time. He said that it would be quite embarrassing if they gave a waiver of SEQRA and found out later that there was an environmental problem. In the past five years there was one environmental violation of the New York State Depart- ment of Environmental Conservation for not having a map of emergency exits posted near the telephone. It was fully resolved without any penalties or fines. He said that it’s important and the possibility for the County to go astray is even more apparent if they have their trade zone go well beyond Orange County’s borders. He urged that they have more vigilant oversight and he will not stand in the way of having job opportunities, even though they are not in Orange County but they are a part of our state and our nation. He recommended that other Legislators take a look at the website of that company and how a “yes” vote may assist in having economic development for the United States of America.

Mr. Buckbee stated that these projects, as related to SEQRA here in Orange County, have already gone through SEQRA to get into business to start with and the due diligence has already been done. The impact on Orange County has to be pretty negligible and he will support this request.

Mr. Diana commented that Orange County represents eight counties when it comes to Foreign Trade Zone and they have done that for decades. These other counties have other businesses that are inside the zone already and, if they’re not, they are asking to come into the zone. There are only so many zones throughout the nation and this one happens to be the zone that Orange County oversees. He added that these buildings are already built and have been in existence for a decade; there is no environmental impact because they are not dealing with businesses or buildings, they are dealing with a product that comes in on tariffs, gets put together in the plants and then gets sold. That’s when the tax tariffs get paid to the government so it’s the savings for the business for a short period of time. He then referred to the second and third paragraphs in the resolution which states that, “ITT Water Technology, Inc. notified the County of Orange that it does not plan to construct or rebuild these facilities or engage in external renovation to support the Foreign-Trade Zone activities” so there is absolutely no environmental impact because nothing is happening at this facility. He continued to the next paragraph and referred to that portion which states, “that the assessment indicates that the project will not have any significant adverse environmental impacts” noting that the reason it does not is because they went through that when these buildings were built. Finally under RESOLVED, number 2, “Classifies the Project as Unlisted Action and issues a Negative Declaration.” He explained that they have all looked at part 1 and they know there is no impact and this is just a formality that they have to do. There is no other review. Orange County runs the zone.

Mr. Berkman responded that he agrees with much of what the County Executive stated. He supports and has worked with the Foreign Trade Zone. He realizes that when these facilities were built they had to go through an environmental process, if they even had a SEQRA law at the time when these were constructed. He asked what if there was an accident a month ago, a year ago or two years ago at the location where oil from the manufacturing process spilled over the floor, that would not have been part of any environmental process at the time of the construction and, if they were cited by any local authority for an environmental problem, the County would confer their agreement and a pass on the environment without even knowing about it. He understands how this works and he supports it because it will contribute to our state’s economic rejuvenation by providing and retaining jobs but he would have preferred if 204 REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, May 5, 2011 someone from this company had come down and paid them a visit. He stated that he has a different view of the SEQRA process which he has had for quite sometime. He’s voting in favor and hopes that everyone else votes in favor also, he just suggests that the next time they go through this that they take a closer look.

Mr. Berardinelli stated that there is the Foreign Trade Zone and Foreign Trade Sub-Zones and in order to be a sub-zone they must be within a zone. In this particular case, the only Foreign Trade Zone that can go outside its border is Orange County’s Foreign Trade Zone. He added that the County is fortunate because when it was established it allowed them to go outside of Orange County to give benefits to other companies wanting to get into foreign trade. He noted that this is unique for today but they are hoping that as they expand the work that they are doing with foreign trade they will get more municipalities involved and come to Orange County.

Mr. Berardinelli thanked Mr. Berkman for the calls that he made and the information he brought back to this Legislature and he will be sure that it gets sent to all of the members of the committee.

Mr. Benton commented that hopefully, sometime in the future, when someone comes to Orange County exploring and asking about the Orange County Foreign Trade Zone, they might decide to stay and actually move here.

WHEREAS, the County of Orange as Grantee of Foreign Trade Zone (“FTZ”) No. 37 considers this program to be a key element in the economic development and prosperity of Orange County and New York; and

WHEREAS, the extension of Foreign Trade Zone subzone status to the ITT Water Technology, Inc., located at 1 Goulds Drive and 2 Willey Street, Auburn, New York 13021, in conjunction with a request for manufacturing authority will assist in the retention and support of manufacturing activity within New York State; and

AN ACT, BEING ACT NO. 8 OF 2011, ENTITLED, “AN ACT AMENDING THE AP- PROPRIATE ORANGE COUNTY EMPLOYMENT SCHEDULES TO CREATE THE POSITION OF “ELECTRICAL LICENSING INSPECTOR (PART TIME)” AT THE DE- PARTMENT OF CONSUMER AFFAIRS, PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.02(l) OF THE ORANGE COUNTY CHARTER.”

Seconded by Mr. Castricone.

Mr. Eachus commented that there was quite a discussion in the Education and Economic Development Committee on this particular topic and there is certainly some value and sense to the idea of hiring an Electrical Licensing Inspector; however, the information that was supplied did not prove one way or another whether they needed one part time, full time or whether they needed to hire additional personnel at all at this time. He stated that he would vote “no” on this particular request.

Mr. Castricone stated that in committee he had also voted “no” while looking for more 206 REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, May 5, 2011 information. As they moved forward in the caucus process he was satisfied to learn that their idea was to begin with a part time person who would be an hourly employee, would not cost the County very much and, in the future if that needed to be expanded, they would re-visit it. He commended the County Executive and the Personnel Department (Department of Human Resources) for starting this position with a part time person.

Mr. Amo stated that he was on the committee that formed this law under the leadership of Mr. Lahey and one of the thoughts behind this law was that they should get support from all of the communities but they have had difficulty with that. He commented that they are making a mistake in rushing to add an employee to that department and there is a need to get data on how many building permits have been issued, how many violations and what the real issues are. Also, they discussed getting a “buy-in” from the towns and villages and he’s not sure that they tried hard enough to get those “buy-ins.” He wasn’t sure that they publicized it; they discussed having public service announcements about the law and why it’s a good thing to have this law for the safety of our residents. He doesn’t know that they did any of that. He commented that there may come a time when they may have to hire someone but maybe they should re-visit some of their strategies and think about how they can get the municipalities to support this, how do they get the good ideas of this law, as intended by the committee and Mr. Lahey, out there and get the “buy-in” before they rush to hire someone. He will be voting “no” on this piece of legislation.

Mr. Hines commented that if it’s important enough to pass the law, it’s important enough to enforce it and Commissioner Mitchell made it very clear that he reached out to every Building Inspector in the towns and villages and received no cooperation, but resistance. The County Executive made it clear that he spoke with the towns and villages, with respect to their Supervisors and Mayors, and they are not interested in supporting our County law. He stated if they do not have the Inspector, then no one is going to pay. Once they hire this person and begin enforcing this law then everyone will come into compliance because no one wants to be shut down and fined, etc. If they hire someone, he does not perceive this as getting bigger but that they may even have to cut the person’s hours as everyone comes into compliance or reassigning the person’s duties elsewhere within the department. He will support this law.

Mr. Berkman stated, just as Mr. Castricone voted “no” in committee, he also voted “no” in committee but he has had subsequent conversations with Commissioner Mitchell and he was on the committee that made the recommendation for the Legislature to establish the Electri- cal Licensing Board with Mr. Amo and chaired by Mr. Lahey. He continued that they need to come up with some way to have enforcement of this law. He stated this is a work in progress. He explained that Commissioner Mitchell convinced him that the County needs to have some kind of a hold on this and not just collect thousands of dollars in fees from people and then do nothing about non-compliance. A part time job may be the appropriate way to start and they can re-visit whether it’s necessary in the future or whether more is needed in the future. He commented that what tipped the balance for him was who was paying for it; the County is getting a lot more in revenue out of this than the investment that they are putting in for a part time Inspector. He supports this request.

Mr. Depew stated that he will support this today. He continued that asking for any more out of the municipalities at this point on this issue, they will start claiming that the County’s passing down an unfunded mandate, something that the County, schools and towns complain to the State about and he would not want the County to be accused of that. He asked that when the County Executive, the Commissioner of Human Resources and Commissioner Mitchell are preparing to hire this person, let them know that their focus of this position could also be enforcing a Precious Metals Law that could be up and running very soon.

Mr. Berardinelli commented that he was also on the committee with Mr. Berkman and Mr. REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, May 5, 2011 207

Amo and one of the other issues they discussed was the difference between the cities, towns and villages. The three cities have within their privy, the law, they can create licensing laws, they can enforce licensing laws and they do not need the County but once they go outside of the cities, it is the County’s responsibility to ensure that the residents are covered by an Electrical Licensing law. Not anyone can come in and just work and do “shoddy” work. With this, they will be have a way of identifying those that are coming into the County who are licensed or who are not licensed; they can justify whatever fines the Commissioner of Con- sumer Affairs will impose. He urged everyone to vote in favor of this legislation and as need be they will improve on it.

WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE:

“BOND RESOLUTION OF THE COUNTY OF ORANGE, NEW YORK, AUTHORIZ- ING ACQUISITION OF KITCHEN EQUIPMENT AT THE COUNTY’S VALLEY VIEW RESIDENTIAL HEALTH CARE CENTER, STATING THE ESTIMATED TOTAL COST THEREOF IS $50,000, APPROPRIATING SAID AMOUNT THEREFOR, AND AUTHO- RIZING THE ISSUANCE OF $50,000 BONDS OF THE COUNTY TO PAY THE COST THEREOF.”

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Eachus reminded the Legislature that this was one of three resolutions that were sent back to the Health and Mental Health and Ways and Means Committees from last month. He stated that the discussion that they had in Health and Mental Health was that this particular bond resolution, as well as the other two, would be best served if viewed after they got the survey regarding Valley View. He continued that Mr. Pascocello was at that meeting and he agreed with the committee, he agreed that this particular bond resolution is in no way an emergency fix situation and that it would be best if viewed and discussed after they received the survey. Mr. Eachus stated that he would not know how or why this one resolution passed the Ways and Means Committee because he is not on that committee and he was not at the meeting but Mr. Pascocello still stands to agree that they can better understand whether it is necessary after they get the survey which should be out this month.

Mr. Amo, as Chairman of the Health and Mental Health Committee, clarified that everything Mr. Eachus stated is correct and the committee affirmatively moved it to the June committee meeting because they were going to take action on it in June. There was no indication in discussion that they did not want to take action; they wanted to move it to the June meeting at the recommendation of Mr. Pascocello. REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, June 2, 2011 221

Mrs. Kemnitz wanted to reiterate what Mr. Amo and Mr. Eachus stated because she also serves on that committee as well. She continued that she will be voting against this resolution.

Mr. Castricone commented that at the Ways and Means Committee, the County Executive spoke to this issue. He explained that they need to be reaffirming their commitment to take care of those residents at Valley View; it is a County run facility regardless of what comes of the study. Those residents need to have food that is kept at the proper temperature, is safe and of good quality regardless of what happens; it is their responsibility to ensure that the residents have the highest quality care and the highest quality food so he will be supporting this resolution. He said that they did send back two other bond resolutions which they felt might better be served after they see the results of the study.

Mr. Petro asked if this resolution should have a no vote to it, would it not be possible to remove it from the agenda today and add it to the June committee agenda since they would have the results of the study by then.

Mrs. Reed asked Mr. Petro is he is making a motion to refer it back to committee for one month.

Mr. Petro stated that he would make that motion if he had a second because he would not want to see it fail since they need the kitchen equipment even though it is not an emergency situation; it would give them another thirty days in which to look at the study.

Mr. Berkman seconded Mr. Petro’s motion to refer it back to committee for one month.

Mr. Depew responded to the motion to refer back to committee noting that they have had ample discussion on this issue and the first time it was presented to both committees, it was reported back to the Legislature that they were not pleased with the presentation and the way that information was provided to them, but since that time there has been a correction of that. He stated that he would guess that a majority of this Legislature is willing to support doing what Mr. Castricone has so eloquently stated. Their responsibility to the residents of Valley View is to ensure that they have hot meals that are of high quality and this equipment will certainly ensure that. Mr. Depew stated that he does not support sending this resolution back to committee at this time.

Mr. Hines commented that this resolution passed the Ways and Means Committee for two consecutive months and he will be supporting it as it is written and he will not support sending it back to committee. He reminded the Legislature that they also use the kitchen at the facility to take care of the Meals on Wheels Program and prepare 1,550 meals a day. Mr. Hines pointed out that they just approved $50,000.00 to take care of the kitchen at the correctional facility so he would expect that they would treat their senior citizens a little better than that.

Mr. Simmons commented that he was the only member of the Health and Mental Health Committee to vote against this resolution when it first came up and he voted against it for the exact reasons that Mr. Depew stated earlier; he was not satisfied with the amount of information that was presented, and the way that it was presented, but since that time his questions have been answered and many of the issues have been resolved and he will be voting in favor of this resolution.

Mr. Brescia commented that he does not sit on either of those committees, but he suggests that they vote no against the motion to send it back to committee because those questions have been answered and that was their concern last month when it was sent back to committee. 222 REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, June 2, 2011

Mrs. Bonelli reiterated what Mr. Hines stated earlier; the kitchen at the Valley View Center does provide for the Meals on Wheels Program, the home delivered meals. She added that it is an important component in this issue because when she personally asked Mr. Pascocello what their priorities were and if there were any emergencies regarding the resolutions that were coming before the Legislature, only one item was mentioned and it was a very important piece of kitchen equipment.

Mr. Buckbee commented that they have spent quite some time in the Health and Mental Health Committee debating this issue and regardless of what the future holds for Valley View, they need to take care of feeding the people that are there today. It is one of the responsibilities of the Legislature and he will be supporting this resolution today.

Mr. Amo stated as Chair of the Health and Mental Health Committee, as well as a licensed New York State Nursing Home Administrator, he is not swayed by the quality of care issues that are being raised here today. The important point is that the Health and Mental Health Committee, which is the program oversight committee, not the fiscal oversight for Valley View, wanted to look at it and debate the impact on the program and whether it was the right thing for Valley View to do. They want to have that debate but at the recommendation of Mr. Pascocello they set it aside until June so they have not had the program questions answered, but they have had the fiscal questions answered, and since there is no urgency and no citation by the Health Department that there is a violation, then he would prefer to honor the request of the majority of his committee members and refer it back for one month.

Mr. Pahucki agreed that the Legislature has a commitment in Orange County to take care of the people of Valley View and they are doing that now and will be doing that in the future. He noted that nothing is broken, they are cooking, feeding, cleaning and everything is going on as it should be just as Mr. Amo stated. He commented that this is an expenditure that is not suited for passage today and as Mr. Petro stated, it could be done next month because there is no sense of emergency even on behalf of Mr. Pascocello. So why are they pushing and rushing to judgment on a $50,000.00 expense when they could spend the taxpayers’ money next month or the month after. He suggested that they should vote no today and he would to support the motion to send it back for another month.

Mrs. Donnery commented that she does not sit on either one of the committees and it is very confusing to her. She was prepared to vote no, then she heard some of the comments and reasoning especially regarding the Meals on Wheels. She thanked Mr. Amo for clarifying on his committee and the information because she will keep her vote as no.

Mr. Depew stated that this is presented to the Legislature as a bond resolution but it is only $50,000.00 and in the past they have spent cash money, if possible. He continued that the required vote for bonding is 2/3rds vote and if this were to be passed as cash, it would need eleven votes with just a simple majority of the Legislature, so on the amendment to send it back to committee if there was a way that with a majority of the Legislature who would like to provide this equipment and get this done now, they could vote no to send it back to committee and immediately thereafter amend it to be a cash purchase rather than bonding.

Mrs. Reed responded that the reason why this appropriation is a bond resolution is because the bonding can be built into the reimbursement rate for Medicare and Medicaid.

Mr. Depew clarified that does not prohibit it from not being bonded.

Mrs. Reed replied that is correct; however, it does help with the reimbursement rate.

Mr. Berkman commented that Mr. Depew’s question proves the point that it should be sent REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, June 2, 2011 223 back to committee; it’s a core question about whether it should be a bond resolution or not. They discussed it in caucus noting that this request has no urgency but if there was an emergency they would all put aside their differences and support it because they all stand for protecting the public health of our County facility and they have a commitment to that and they will maintain that commitment but there is no urgency here. Mr. Berkman suggests that it be referred back to committee to do more work and if it does not work then he will be proud to vote against the whole resolution.

Mr. Petro clarified that he does support this request; referring it back would not be a no vote against the request but since there is no urgency or violations then he would prefer sending it back for one month and getting the rest of the facts.

Mr. Castricone commented that it seems that the problem was separate presentations with separate presenters because as the County Executive presented it to the Ways and Means Committee it was expressed to them that the steaming unit in Valley View was a high priority very early on and the trays and items that need to be repaired or replaced are not going to heal in the next month, they will still be broken, but the steaming unit which is required to keep the food at the proper temperature is an emergency as was presented to the committee. He stated if the Health and Mental Health Committee received a different presentation then he can understand the confusion.

Mrs. Donnery stated that now she is totally confused; Mr. Pascocello is not aware of this in his own facility and it was not presented the same in the Health and Mental Health Committee. Is it an emergency or is it not an emergency.

Chairman Pillmeier responded that to the best of his recollection, it was not presented as an emergency but for replacement.

Majority Leader Bonacic commented that she was not present at the Health and Mental Health Committee so she did not hear Mr. Pascocello say that but she was at the Ways and Means Committee and they had an excellent presentation from the County Executive on the issue. She added that the concerns of many of the Legislators regarding the study of Valley View are that they do not know what will happen with the study but the County does own the facility and is responsible for it. Ms. Bonacic stated that she did make a phone call to Valley View and she asked what their needs were and what they had to have for the facility, not what they wanted for the facility, and the kitchen upgrade was the one thing they needed as well as notebooks under technology which is not before them today. She pointed out the fact that most of the kitchen equipment is ten years or older and they are replacing some equipment at the correctional facility for the same reasons. Additionally, on an annual basis, the Dietary Department prepares 438,000 resident meals, 65,000 meals for the Senior Dining Program and cafeteria meals totaling 36,500. Ms. Bonacic stated that she is supporting this today because it is a need and not just something that they want.

Mr. Paduch commented that the County Executive has the right to declare an emergency and if something were to happen in the next month he could have the equipment replaced.

Mr. Benton apologized for the difference in the presentations, obviously the County Executive gave a better presentation but they have a piece of equipment that is coming to the end of its useful life and though it may not be an emergency now, Mr. Paduch is exactly right, when dealing with food if that machine breaks then tomorrow it’s an emergency so it would be better to be prepared.

On roll call, Mr. Petro’s motion to refer the resolution back to committee, was defeated by the following vote: 224 REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, June 2, 2011

Ayes: Berkman, Amo, Burger, Donnery, Eachus, Kemnitz, Paduch, Pahucki, Petro

Noes: Bonacic, Anagnostakis, Benton, Berardinelli, Bonelli, Brescia, Buckbee, Castricone, Depew, Hines, Simmons, Pillmeier

Ayes 9; Noes 12; Absent 0; DEFEATED.

Mr. Berkman stated that it’s his understanding that the County is paying $118,000.00 for the study of Valley View which should have been done already but now he heard it will be released in approximately two weeks. So on that basis alone and since it is not an emergency, he would vote no. He continued that he would like to hear the results of the report that they are paying $118,000.00 for; what do they say is needed to replace the kitchen equipment.

Mr. Hines commented that he does not see this as a huge capital investment with respect to upgrading the whole facility, he sees it as being able to prepare 1,450 meals a day with the equipment. It seems very reasonable and not a lot of money when they consider that they prepare that many meals a day and have to maintain the equipment to serve those meals. He reminded the Legislature that they are also preparing meals that are delivered outside of the facility and they have to be kept at a certain temperature so they would not want to wait until the equipment breaks and then have to replace it immediately. Mr. Hines added that they say that the County Executive can spend money on an emergency basis but can they get the right equipment in a day for a kitchen of that size; he doubts it.

Mr. Buckbee commented that he is supporting this resolution and suggests that they be pro-active and get the necessary equipment so that they do not have a problem like Mr. Hines mentioned with food not at the proper temperature, etc. Regardless of whether the facility is sold or not, this is an asset that will appreciate in value.

Mr. Simmons stated that he was the only Health and Mental Health Committee member that voted against this request and his objection at the time was the way that it was being presented and he had questions regarding which equipment they were going to actually replace because at the time it was a broad list with very little clarification as to exactly what they were doing. Now that they have the clarification that they needed, they now have discourse as to whether or not they should proceed. He can respect that, but it is a housekeeping issue and it does not make a difference whether it is done now or next month because it will have to be done. Mr. Simmons concluded that he will be voting yes.

Mr. Amo stated that after hearing all of the debate, what they are really confronting is a legislative procedural question because the Ways and Means Committee made their decision and the Health and Mental Health Committee came to the conclusion that they wanted a month before they made a decision and others may have voted because they wanted to wait for the study, but he voted based on the fact that he was told that they did not have the financial data that he needed and he did not want to have it on the committee agenda without that information and have it voted down. He stated that the vote is going to have to come down to which committee do they think knows more about the operation of Valley View and the way that the County is going to oversee chronicled programmatic services at that facility. He’s not saying that Ways and Means did anything wrong, it’s just that they have this conflict and Mr. Amo stated that they are not going against it, they are just asking to take another look at it in June. He asked that they consider the majority of the Health and Mental Health Committee that asked for a chance to have another month to look at it.

Mr. Eachus expressed concern that some of the discussion today may give people the idea that the Legislature is not doing the right thing at Valley View, currently, which is not the case at all. They send out all of the meals and they are perfectly healthy and the correct tempera- REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, June 2, 2011 225 ture. He pointed out that this request was put in the capital budget because it was projected that they would have the need to replace the equipment at some time. He agreed with Mr. Amo’s comments because the Health and Mental Health Committee did not receive clarification and they did not discuss it at their meeting, so why would their committee be denied the opportunity to discuss it and bring it back. Mr. Eachus stated that he is almost sure that once they receive the clarification that they need along with the information from the survey, that this request will be approved. He added that thirty days is not too much to ask on a non- emergency, unnecessary at this moment, repair or maintenance issue.

Mr. Pahucki commented that based on the conversations, perhaps they should inventory the County’s assets that are ten years or older.

Mr. Depew responded to Mr. Pahucki’s comments and stated that he does not think that is the case here. He noted that Mr. Pascocello, County Executive Diana and the leadership of the Legislature have been told by this Legislature, as they go through the study and by the action of the Legislature over the last eight months, that they are not going to be replacing things that they do not need at this time. Clearly, the process has whittled down an original Legislative Request from a much larger request which may have included items that were not emergency or necessary items, down to where they stand today. He referred to his earlier question to Mrs. Reed about whether or not this request could be bonded or purchased with cash which was answered by her response that Medicaid reimbursement would be helpful in this situation because when they bond, they can claim some of their bonding through the Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement program. He pointed out that for those Legislators who feel that when the steamer breaks, tomorrow the County Executive will just buy it under an emergency power, they need to be aware that the County Executive cannot bond under emergency powers so without bonding they would be adding to one of the largest cost factors that they have at Valley View which makes the facility unsuccessful from a cost analysis point of view because they do not receive enough care and support through the Medicare and Medicaid programs to cover the reimbursement for the people that they take care of currently.

RESOLUTION OF THE ORANGE COUNTY LEGISLATURE DESIGNATING JUNE 20 THROUGH JUNE 26, 2011 AS HELEN KELLER DEAF-BLIND AWARENESS WEEK.

WHEREAS, Helen Keller was an American lecturer, author and activist. Deaf and blind since early childhood and living in an era where most individuals similarly afflicted were consigned to an asylum, Helen Keller overcame her disabilities with the aide of mentor Anne Sullivan and rose to international renown. Keller used her fame to educate others about the blind and to raise funds for related charities; and

WHEREAS, deaf-blindness is a very severe disability; and REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, June 2, 2011 247

WHEREAS, it is in the best interest of Orange County to encourage the full participation of Americans with multi-sensory disabilities in our economy by fostering the employment of, and promoting housing and recreational options for, people who are deaf-blind – thus maxi- mizing their opportunities for a productive life in the community of their choice; and

WHEREAS, today, people with dual-sensory loss should have options to choose their preferred lifestyles; and

WHEREAS, it is highly appropriate and necessary to publicize the abilities and potential of our fellow citizens who are deaf-blind or severely vision and hearing impaired and to recognize Helen Keller as a guiding example of courage, hope, determination and achievement for other individuals who are deaf-blind.

THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED,

That the Orange County Legislature designates June 20 through June 26, 2011 as “Helen Keller Deaf-Blind Awareness month” for Orange County and conveys these sentiments to every citizen of Orange County, that all might raise awareness of deaf-blindness in our community.

REGULAR SESSION

Thursday, July 7, 2011

The Legislature convened in Regular Session at 3:30 p.m. today.

The Legislature was called to order with a moment of silence and the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.

On roll call, all members were present with the exception of Legislator Hines who was excused.

Chairman Pillmeier recognized the month of July as Parks Month by honoring Orange County’s Commissioner of Parks, Richard L. Rose, Jr. for the great job that he does in overseeing the 33,000 acres of parkland including the golf courses and snow tubing areas. The park system also provides open space, leisure and activity areas and eleven miles of the Heritage Trail for the residents of Orange County. Chairman Pillmeier thanked Commis- sioner Rose and his staff for keeping our park system in the great shape that they are in.

Deputy County Executive O’Donnell joined Chairman Pillmeier in recognizing Commis- sioner Rose and his staff by presenting him with a proclamation.

Commissioner Rose thanked Chairman Pillmeier, the Legislature and Deputy County Executive O’Donnell and the County Executive’s Office for all their support because if not for that support they would not be able to do all the great things that they get to do out there every day.

Chairman Pillmeier honored the Song of the Valley Chorus-Sweet Adelines with a proclamation recognizing the week of July 18 through July 22, 2011 as “Barbershop Music Appre- ciation Week” and declaring July 23rd as “Sweet Adelines International Day.” He stated that all of the members were going to be here today to sing, but, unfortunately, not everyone could be here today due to prior commitments.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION (On file in Clerk, Legislative Office).

By Ms. Bonacic:

RESOLVED, that the minutes of May 5, 2011 be approved. The motion was seconded by Mr. Buckbee and adopted.

ADOPTED.

Mr. Berardinelli requested that Agenda No. 7 be withdrawn, BOND RESOLUTION AU- THORIZING COUNTYWIDE ASSESSMENT PROGRAM TO SUPPORT LOCAL MU- NICIPALITIES FOR REVALUATIONS STATING THE ESTIMATED MAXIMUM COST THEREOF IS $500,000, APPROPRIATING SAID AMOUNT THEREFOR, AND AUTHO- RIZING THE ISSUANCE OF $500,000 BONDS OF THE COUNTY TO PAY THE COST THEREOF, seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Chairman Pillmeier stated if there were no objections, Agenda No. 7 would be withdrawn from the agenda. 250 REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, July 7, 2011

Mr. Anagnostakis requested consent to place on the agenda, AN ACT ESTABLISHING HEALTH INSURANCE PREMIUM CONTRIBUTIONS BY ALL ELECTED OFFICIALS INCLUDING ALL RE-ELECTED INCUMBENTS.

Chairman Pillmeier denied the request.

Mr. Depew asked that Legislative Counsel Reed review, for the Legislature, Robert’s Rules of Order which would allow the Chairman to make a unilateral denial of a member’s ability to request consent for a resolution to be placed on the agenda.

Chairman Pillmeier replied that he could help Mr. Depew, he could answer that question.

Mr. Depew reiterated that he was asking for the legal ability for that to take place.

Chairman Pillmeier replied that they do not need to do that because he can give them the answer; he stated that he spoke with Mr. Anagnostakis last night, he gave him the opportunity to come forward with what he was going to do today and he did not do that. They had a caucus last night to discuss this issue, there has been enough discussion, and he is denying the request.

Mr. Depew asked if this Chamber operates under the Robert’s Rules Proceedings which would require if someone was challenged on consent that the full body of the Legislature would vote to determine whether it is placed on the agenda for the day or not; that has been the precedent of this Chamber since its inception.

Mrs. Reed responded that Mr. Depew was incorrect in that way. They do not, under this issue, abide by Robert’s Rules of Order but by their Legislative Manual Rules of Order and Procedure, when there is a decision of the Chair, which is subject to an appeal. If Mr. Depew wants to seek an appeal of that, he would have the right to object to it, then the body votes on that objection.

Mr. Depew replied that he objects to it, seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Anagnostakis asked what exactly are they voting on.

Mrs. Reed replied that Mr. Depew is appealing the decision of the Chairman not to allow Mr. Anagnostakis’ consent on the agenda.

Mr. Anagnostakis asked if they vote “no,” what are they voting “no” on.

Clerk Whightsil clarified that if they vote “aye,” they are agreeing with Mr. Depew to appeal the decision of the Chair and if they vote “nay,” they agree in not allowing the consent to be added to the agenda.

Mrs. Reed then said that each Legislator may make a statement.

Mr. Pahucki commented that there has been a resolution in the Personnel and Compensa- tion Committee and that was voted on. Most often they put items on by consent for the reason that they were unable to get to committee in a timely manner or that it was not allowed in committee; they are the only two reasons that he is aware of. He continued that the legislation that is in question that goes on by consent, is a live resolution, it’s live legislation that was laid on the secretary’s table via a motion to table and that was voted on unanimously in Personnel and Compensation. He stated that he finds it ironic that they are challenging the decision of the Chair that is absolutely correct, procedurally, through Robert’s Rules of Order and the Legislative Rules of Order. To vote “yes” to override the decision of the Chair is to REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, July 7, 2011 251 vote to rewrite the rules in Robert’s Rules of Order. Procedurally, they may be able to do that; however, he does agree with the Chairman that this is not something that is allowable by consent because he has checked with Robert’s Rules of Order and he is on the Personnel and Compensation Committee and it was a unanimous vote to lay this on the table and it is sitting on the secretary’s table.

Mrs. Reed commented that this piece of legislation is indeed the same legislation, she has not seen what Mr. Anagnostakis is proposing now, that was laid on the table at the Personnel and Compensation Committee and can only be taken off the table at that committee, not on the floor of this Legislature.

Mr. Anagnostakis thanked Chairman Pillmeier for the opportunity to speak noting that he and the Chairman did talk last night; unfortunately, he was not under the impression that he had to produce this proposed legislation to the Chairman, had he been asked that, he would have given it to the Chairman. He continued that it is not the same legislation that was tabled, unanimously, but by a five to two vote which is different in some respects.

Mr. Eachus asked if this legislation is different, can the Legislators have a copy of it or have a reading of it.

Mrs. Reed responded that at this point, this is just a statement regarding the decision of the Chair.

Mr. Berkman commented, procedurally, he does not know whether the Chairman is correct or not, but he is not challenging that today for two reasons; Mr. Pahucki mentioned that this is a comprehensive issue and Mr. Berkman is looking forward to future discussions about this but it is more appropriately handled on a committee level. There was a vibrant discussion in committee and that’s where this should take place. He stated if the resolution was tabled in committee, then they should come up with another resolution in committee and go forward from there like they usually do. Mr. Berkman also mentioned that they have consent resolutions if there is urgency, if they have to get a state grant or meet a deadline, something of a very urgent nature, and discussing a benefit package for 2014 does not have to be handled today, tomorrow or the next day, they have the whole year or more to discuss that. Lastly, regarding irony, it is his understanding that one member of the Democratic caucus attempted to get something on the agenda in a committee that Mr. Anagnostakis chaired and he would not allow that to be placed on the agenda.

Mr. Depew stated because something failed in a committee it doesn’t have the right to be brought here before the entire Legislature, they all know that a minority of the total body sit on any one committee, so therefore, that opinion would allow for a minority to control a majority’s rule and that is not democracy. He continued if one committee wants to stonewall something that is in the best interest of the taxpayers, the best interest of this County and the best interest of this body, which should not mean that they can unilaterally stonewall it through that committee. That’s why they have this procedure here and the only reason why he challenged the question of the Chair, this is the first time he has ever heard of the Chair doing this, so it was an interesting situation and he believes that the urgency that one of the other Legislators says does not exist, exists right now. It exists due to the comments that were made by a speaker earlier with the economy and it exists because they are being asked today to take a stance on whether or not all elected officials, after the next term pay 10% of their health insurance cost, or if only those who get newly elected pay 10%, so that is the urgency here today. Mr. Depew continued that it would be totally disingenuous for them, as elected officials running again, to tell their counterparts that you will be running against us knowing that you will be receiving less compensation than those who are in this chamber today. Mr. Depew apologized to Chairman Pillmeier for the challenge but he holds his challenge. 252 REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, July 7, 2011

Chairman Pillmeier replied that he objected to some of Mr. Depew’s comments but he would reserve them for later.

Mr. Benton stated that it is his understanding that the proper procedure for getting something on the floor when it has not passed through the committee process is to get eleven Legislators to sign a letter stating that they would like to have that item come to the floor, not just simply say that they would like to have it done today by consent. He asked Mrs. Reed if his understanding is correct.

Mrs. Reed responded that is true but they do not always follow that procedure.

Mr. Petro referred to Mr. Depew’s earlier comment that some members of the committee stonewalled and he asked how he knows if they stonewalled or just voted in the way that they wanted to vote.

Mr. Castricone stated that he’s sympathetic to the proposal that has been made and may very well support it when it goes through, but he is not happy that they are doing it in this way. He continued that this is an issue that deserves the real debate and study that it will get. He sits on the Personnel and Compensation Committee and he guarantees that should this item be brought forward at that committee, it will get his full attention and full debate. There are issues that were brought forward that he likes. The part about having people run, getting different compensation than the people that are already here get, he agrees with, but when they are all elected officials there are intricacies between some of the elected officials that have been in office after serving a full civil service career that they need to discuss in detail, he does not think that this needs to be “hammered” down today. Mr. Castricone stated that he was not sure about whether or not this proposal couldn’t be added today or at some point in the future to the proposal that is already on the agenda, he’s not sure why this requires a separate motion. All that’s being asked to be done, if he understands it correctly, is add all of the additional Legislators to what is already on the agenda. He asked that they take more time on this.

Mrs. Reed reminded the Legislature that this is regarding the decision to override the decision of the Chair.

Mr. Simmons stated not to belabor the issue, he does agree with Mr. Castricone on many, many of the issues that he has brought forth but he is a little bit perplexed because any time he sat here and they put something on the agenda by consent, the way that it has always been prefaced, is without any objection. He understands that the Chair is a sitting member of this body and he would assume that he objects so that means that there is an objection; he asked if he was mistaken.

Mrs. Reed replied that the Chairman has made a decision as the Chair of this body, not to allow that on the agenda. She continued that he sits as a member but he also sits as the Chair and he directs the order and procedure here.

Mr. Simmons responded that is exactly his point.

Mrs. Donnery commented that this issue needs to be removed from the politics of what appears to be one person. She stated that she is disturbed by everything that has gone on with this. She reminded those Legislators that were here in the last term that although there were differing opinions from her own caucus as well as the County Executive, as the Chairwoman of this Legislature in 2009, working together with Mr. Pillmeier and Mr. Berkman, they recognized at that time the problems with the economy and they were concerned about the taxes and the taxpayers but they negotiated, they worked through the committee system and REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, July 7, 2011 253 they compromised. Some of the members wanted a salary freeze for a couple of years for all salaries, some for one year, etc. She stated that it was politics but, in her opinion, that which served the public best. She made it clear that she does not object to anyone in the Legislature having to pay for a portion of their health insurance, she is not coming from that position, but, from the position that this is not right, they do not legislate for a headline in a newspaper.

Clerk Whightsil clarified that if they vote “aye,” they are supporting Mr. Depew’s motion to override the decision of the Chair and if they vote “nay,” they are supporting the Chair’s decision to not allow the consent resolution on the agenda.

WHEREAS, Chapter 390 of the Laws of 1972, effective May 22, 1972, added Section 912 to the General Municipal Law, which established the Orange County Industrial Develop- ment Agency; and

WHEREAS, Section 856, subdivision 1 of the General Municipal Law authorizes the governing body of the municipality to file a certificate with the Secretary of State setting forth, amongst other things, the names of the members and their terms of office; and

WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 278 of 1972, the Orange County Legislature appointed members of the Orange County Industrial Development Agency, each to serve at the pleasure REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, July 7, 2011 255 of the Orange County Legislature and directed the Chairman of the Orange County Legislature to file in the Office of the Secretary of State of New York the certificate required by Section 856, subdivision 1(a), of the General Municipal Law; and

WHEREAS, this Legislature does wish to amend said Certificate to establish five (5) year terms of office, by staggered years, for the members of the Orange County Industrial Devel- opment Agency.

NOW THEREFORE, it is hereby

RESOLVED, that there is hereby established a five (5) year term of office for all members of the Orange County Industrial Development Agency, except for the member who is the Legislature’s designee, who shall serve a two (2) year term.

Ms. Bonacic thanked Mr. Benton for bringing this forth.

Mr. Benton commented that this idea came about as a result of discussions on their Accountability and Efficiency Study. He continued that Mrs. Reed’s research shows that terms of office should have been instituted when the Industrial Development Agency was established and also for the purpose of continuity of the IDA, which is doing a great job under the leadership of Mr. Petro and the members that are currently serving the IDA so Mr. Benton urged the Legislature to vote in support of this resolution.

RESOLUTION NO. 138 OF 2011

RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO RESCIND OR WITHDRAW FUNDING FOR THE WETLANDS RESERVE PROGRAM IN NEW YORK STATE ON SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE LANDS.

WHEREAS, the Wetlands Reserve Program (“WRP”), administered through the offices of the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS), is a federal program that is intended to restore wetlands derogated by agricultural production; and

WHEREAS, although this may be a sound practice for some muck land areas, it would have severe and unintended consequences to Orange County’s Black Dirt Region including, but not limited to uncontrolled weed infestation, water drainage problems, insect and wildlife control issues, and an overall weakening of the agricultural industry; and

WHEREAS, in 2000, Orange County’s farm economy produced $108.4 million in output value, which generated an additional $59.6 million in related economic activity within other sectors of the local economy. In the last 15 years, growth in Orange county’s vegetable and greenhouse/nursery sectors have offset the declines experienced in the dairy and feed sectors. The vegetable sector is the largest segment of the farm economy and accounts for nearly 40 percent of Orange County’s agricultural output; and

WHEREAS, the Black Dirt Region of Orange County, containing 12,000 contiguous acres of muck soils is the primary land source for county’s vegetable production. The muck soils, when properly drained and maintained, are ideal for agriculture because of their high organic matter content, depth, level gradient, and stone free consistency; and

WHEREAS, with today’s record high food prices and the Black Dirt Region’s close proximity to New York City’s markets, it makes very little common sense to apply the Wetlands Reserve Program here in Orange County on lands that are best suited for agricultural production.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT

RESOLVED, the County of Orange highly recommends that the federal government through the offices of the NRCS, withhold, withdraw, or rescind the federal funds that have been allocated for the Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) for any muck soils in Orange County that are suitable for agricultural production; and be it further

RESOLVED, that the Clerk of the Orange County Legislature send certified copies of this Resolution to the Federal and State of New York offices of the NRCS, the Orange County Farm Service Agency, the Orange County Soil and Water Conservation District, the Orange County Agricultural and Farmland Protection Board as well as to the following federally elected officials:

Hon. Charles Schumer, Senator for the State of New York 757 Third Ave., Room 17-02 New York, NY 10017 REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, July 7, 2011 257

Hon. Kirsten E. Gillibrand, Senator for the State of New York 780 Third Ave., Suite 2600 New York, NY 10174

Hon. Nan Hayworth. Congresswoman for the 19th Congressional District Orange County Government Center 255 Main St., Room 3232G Goshen, NY 10924

Hon. Maurice D. Hinchey Congressman for the 22nd Congressional District City Hall 16 James St., 3rd Floor Middletown, NY 10940

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Pahucki thanked the members of the Rules, Enactments and Intergovernmental Rela- tions Committee for allowing him to bring this forward. He continued that black dirt is unique and one of the areas in the State of New York that is the result of prehistoric swamps that were cleared and cleaned by European settlers who came to America for a better way of life and also provides fresh fruits and vegetables for New York City as well as the local residents though the Farmers’ Markets. He added that there were never any kind of pressures on the “muck soil” or black dirt like there were on upland when they had Open Space programs, PDR and buying open space, etc. because they were not able to be build on it; however, lately there have been tremendous amounts of pressure from the federal government which states that they need to have fresh fruits and vegetables. They did away with the food pyramid and now they have a “food plate” and all they show is fruits and vegetables and yet, the federal government through the Fish and Wildlife Agency, the Wetlands Reserve Program, etc. have an eye toward taking more and more of the black dirt and “muck lands” out of general agricultural use. Mr. Pahucki is not sure if this resolution will have any effect but it certainly is going to let their representatives know that they are aware of the pressures their actions are putting on the community and they would like to have the black dirt exempt, the viable black dirt exempt, not all black dirt because there is some black dirt that needs to be in this program.

Mr. Brescia thanked Mr. Pahucki for bringing this to the Rules, Enactments and Intergov- ernmental Relations Committee and he is aware that it is near and dear to what he knows. He had asked Mr. Pahucki if he had concurrence from the farmers in that region and Mr. Pahucki stated that he did, so he urged that the Legislators support this legislation.

Mr. Depew commented that he is against the program, in its entirety, but in order to show the federal government solidarity in support of our black dirt farmers and to support his position on the Cornell Cooperative Extension Board and, to hopefully save some agricultural property here in Orange County, he will support the resolution as it stands but he believes that one of the reasons why the United States has such a tremendous debt problem is because they are buying $200.00 or $300.00 an acre property for $6,000.00.

Mr. Berkman thanked the Rules, Enactments and Intergovernmental Relations Commit- tee, of which he is also a member, for having a good committee meeting and he thanked Mr. Pahucki for his leadership on this issue and for allowing Mr. Berkman to make a suggestion in the language of the “Resolved” clause by making it specific to Orange County. 258 REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, July 7, 2011

Mr. Buckbee pointed out that as the analysis came through the Farmland Preservation Committee there were other issues such as; what is going to happen with the property once it does go through this, maintenance of the property if an acre of black dirt is sold for $2,000.00; they could get $6,000.00 right now and then no one is interested in the property and that affects the entire Warwick black dirt area. It is a big issue as they go forward and he is in support of this resolution.

Mr. Pahucki stated that he normally does not speak to comments from other Legislators, but he addressed Mr. Depew by stating perhaps in his second or third step in his political career he could make sure that they will be able to talk to him about issues like this directly.

Chairman Pillmeier commented that he is involved in agriculture and he will be voting “no” on this resolution for the following reasons; he has some land that has been in his family for over 100 years, it borders a major stream that drains the valley and the history of this land is that it floods automatically when there is a minimum of two inches of rain, obviously if there is more, it is worse. He stated that he probably will participate in this program and he made it clear that it’s not his entire farm, but an acre and a half to two acres. It is not pure black dirt but a gray soil. He applauds Mr. Pahucki’s comment that there is some land in Orange County that is worthwhile to go into this program, not all land. He just wanted to explain why he would be voting “no” and he expects that he will be criticized for that; however, he can defend it. The vote resulted as follows:

Ayes: Bonacic, Berkman, Amo, Anagnostakis, Benton, Berardinelli, Bonelli, Brescia, Buckbee, Burger, Castricone, Depew, Donnery, Eachus, Kemnitz, Paduch, Pahucki, Petro, Simmons

Seconded by Ms. Bonacic.

Mr. Castricone moved to amend the bond resolution to change amount from $250,000.00 to $200,000.00, seconded by Mr. Depew. REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, July 7, 2011 279

Mr. Amo asked what the rationale was for changing the amount from $250,000.00 to $200,000.00 since it passed his Health and Mental Health Committee for $250,000.00.

Mr. Castricone explained that this resolution has been presented several times before and the $250,000.00 was consistent except for the last time it was presented when they finally received prices on some of the items. He noted that the computers were going to be obtained for $1,300.00 less per unit and $1,300.00 times the number of units that was requested totals approximately $50,000.00 which is the reason why he made the motion to amend the bond resolution down by that amount.

Mr. Amo stated that the mathematics might be there but he wonders why they were worried about a $50,000.00 reduction because they did the addition for Agenda Item No. 22, yet unanimously they voted on Agenda Item No. 8 to give the Finance Department $100,000.00 to buy some software and no one sat down with them to see if that was really $98,000.00 or $78,000.00 but somehow they pick this bond resolution. He also pointed out that one of the major problems in any healthcare organization is medication errors or medical errors where a mistake is made that causes serious damage to a resident or patient. Often times those mistakes are made because the medical record is not clearly understood so when they are dealing with a software package that is going to improve medical records and the data that those clinical people need to take care of the patients at Valley View, then the County is skating on very, very thin ice. He’s confident that Valley View or the County Executive would never spend a penny more than they need to spend; this is only a bond issue and if they can buy it for $198,000.00 he would suspect that they would do it. What if it’s $210,000.00, are they going to have to come back to the Legislature to ask for an additional $10,000.00. All of this would take months, they cannot take three months to solve a problem, and so is there a really good reason, other than just the arithmetic. He can support it but he is a bit confused.

On roll call, Mr. Castricone’s motion to change amount from $250,000.00 to $200,000.00 resulted in the following vote:

Section 3. The period of probable usefulness applicable to the class of objects or purposes for which the bonds authorized by this resolution are to be issued within the limitations of Section 11.00 a. 32 of the Law, is five (5) years.

Section 4. The County intends to finance, and the Commissioner of Finance of the County is hereby authorized to advance such amounts as are necessary to pay the costs of the specific object or purpose described in Section 1 hereof prior to the issuance of the bonds or bond anticipation notes authorized out of any available funds of the County, on an interim basis, which amounts are reasonably expected to be reimbursed with the proceeds of debt to be incurred by the County, pursuant to this resolution, in the total amount of bonds herein authorized. This resolution is a declaration of official intent adopted pursuant to the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.150-2.

Section 6. The validity of the bonds authorized by this resolution, and of any notes issued in anticipation of the sale of said bonds, may be contested only if:

(a) such obligations are authorized for an object or purpose for which the County is not authorized to expend money, or

Section 8. This Resolution shall take effect immediately.

Mr. Berkman mentioned that his concern involving Valley View is that they are making expenditures which, while they may have merit, they are making decisions about the future of Valley View and this could be an expenditure that they could wait on until they hear the recommendations. It is one thing to say that they have handicapped accessible doors, which he voted in favor of, but on a software package he is still hoping to get a copy of the Valley View study and the building study, so until they receive those recommendations, they are just adding on expenses. He thanked Mr. Castricone for reducing this bond resolution, if it should pass.

Mr. Petro commented that the representatives from Valley View did a very good job in explaining what they were going to do. He continued that Mr. Castricone did a fine job in picking up on the extra expense. He noted that they could come back at any time if they needed additional money.

Mr. Eachus stated that he understands Mr. Berkman’s concerns regarding this particular issue and he also sat on the same side of the table, not wanting to spend unnecessary money at Valley View but he made the assurance that the entire program that was laid out for them absolutely showed that this is a necessary element at this time and that even comes from workers on the floor. Mr. Eachus reminded the Legislature that they had discussed that they would never, in any way, be a detriment to the health and safety of the clients at Valley View so he will definitely support this because he is convinced that it is necessary and it is necessary now.

Mr. Amo stated that he would support it but he wishes that Mr. Castricone’s motion would have put it to $300,000.00. He continued that it is important to Valley View, the residents and the staff. All they have to have is one medication error that could have been solved as a result of having a more efficient piece of equipment. This is something that they just need to do.

Mrs. Kemnitz echoed what Mr. Eachus said noting that at the meeting she requested that as money is spent, that they keep a running tab on the money that is spent so that they can see exactly what the picture is. She stated that she was very impressed by the report that they did get at the last meeting on the needs.

Mr. Castricone mentioned that he was pleased with the presentation regarding the equipment; it was excellent and really drove the need for the equipment and the ability they will have to protect the residents of Valley View based on the new equipment. In terms of the dollars, he does not expect that anyone is going to be coming back for additional money, there was also plenty of room in the proposal based on warranties for PDA’s and all kinds of extra money. He does not expect this final purchase to come anywhere near $200,000.00 and any place where they can leave a little less wiggle room for these kinds of purchases is their responsibility. 282 REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, July 7, 2011

Mr. Berkman stated that he was persuaded by several comments that he does not want to be on the wrong side of health and safety of the residents of Valley View and he will be supporting this amended resolution.

RESOLUTION AMENDING RESOLUTION NOS. 109 AND 110 OF 2011 TO CHANGE THE WAREHOUSE ADDRESS OF ITT WATER TECHNOLOGY (GOULDS PUMPS ADMINISTRATION) TO 38 YORK STREET, AUBURN, NEW YORK.

WHEREAS, ITT Water Technology Inc. seeks inclusion in Foreign Trade Zone #37 for its manufacturing and warehouse facilities in Auburn, New York; and

WHEREAS, the Orange County Legislature issued Resolution No. 109 of 2011 in which it assumed lead agency under SEQRA with regard to this action, and determined that there would be no significant environmental impacts based on a review of an environmental assessment form and representations by the company that its does not plan to construct or rebuild its manufacturing or warehousing facilities or engage in external renovation to support its foreign trade zone activities; and

WHEREAS, the Orange County Legislature issued Resolution No. 110 of 2011 in which it approved the designation of the ITT Water Technology, Inc. facilities as a subzone site and authorized the County Executive to execute the required applications; and

WHEREAS, while the address for the manufacturing facility remains at 1 Goulds Drive, Auburn, New York, the address for the warehouse that will be used for foreign trade zone activities changed from 2 Willey Street, Auburn, New York to an existing warehouse located at 38 York Street, Auburn, New York, and the owner of that facility has provided a letter and supporting documents verifying such information; and

WHEREAS, the Orange County Legislature wishes to amend Resolution No. 109 of 2011 and Resolution No. 110 of 2011 to reflect the change of address of the warehouse, all other information stated therein remaining the same; and

REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, July 7, 2011 283

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Berkman commented that he is excited about the idea of a Foreign Trade Zone in Orange County. He explained that Orange County has a unique system, a statewide jurisdiction, he is not aware of any other county in the State of New York that has that far reaching possibility and that is why Auburn has reached out to Orange County. He actually called the company and planted the seed that they should open a facility right here in Orange County so maybe one day in the future that will happen. Mr. Berkman added that he is also excited about the efforts that he sees at the Business Accelerator and the efforts of Mr. Diana and the others that are involved with the International Free Trade Zone.

Mr. Buckbee added to Mr. Berkman’s comments stating that when this was in committee there were several members who did not know where Auburn, New York was. He noted that portion of upstate New York, the Syracuse area, does not have the ability to do this so they have to come to Orange County and they actually pay us to do that.

Section 3. The period of probable usefulness applicable to the objects or purposes for which the bonds authorized by this resolution are to be issued, within the limitations of Section 11.00 a. 91 of the Law, is fifteen (15) years.

This Resolution is a declaration of official intent adopted pursuant to the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.150-2.

Section 5. Each of the bonds authorized by this Resolution and any bond anticipation notes issued in anticipation of the sale thereof shall contain the recital of validity prescribed by Section 52.00 of said Local Finance Law and said bonds and any notes issued in anticipation of said bonds shall be general obligations of the County of Orange, payable as to both principal and interest by general tax upon all the taxable real property within the County.

Section 8. This Resolution shall take effect immediately.

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Depew commented that the building that they will be taking down and the improvements that they will be making are way overdue for the Orange County Community College Campus in Middletown. He fully supports this and having been a student there ten years ago he commented that the Sarah Wells building needed to be taken down at that time. Mr. Depew also mentioned that the State of New York picks up a large chunk of this through the Department of Education to help support the re-establishment of capital projects for education; it is a good project.

Mr. Eachus elaborated on what Mr. Depew said pointing out that the County is going to get better than 2 to 1 for the dollars they invest as a county.

Mr. Amo commented that he is going to support this because they have to have development of educational opportunities throughout the County.

Mr. Berkman stated that he proudly sponsors this resolution and he feels vindication for all of those from the Middletown community; Mr. Paduch and Mr. Pahucki who also share some representation of the City of Middletown, although, Orange County Community College Main Campus is in Middletown and has been identified as in serious need of investment and repair. This is a way of improving not only our region, but our whole nation. It is a cost effective way to invest in the people of Orange County to get job training in order to spur our economy and to make Orange County, New York and the United States a more productive producer and have a thriving economy for the future.

Chairman Pillmeier commented that Orange County is the envy of many counties for our community college campuses between Newburgh and Middletown and it is a fabulous situation and they should remember the private donors involved in this project.

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Berkman stated that he cannot contain his joy; growing up on the south end of Middletown there were so many cars in that neighborhood and students going to school and this parking deck will be a profound improvement for the community. He does hope that the College President, Staff and the County Executive take into account the construction phase because they are going to be taking away approximately 100 spaces so there will be some inconvenience before they have an improved neighborhood.

Mr. Simmons responded to Mr. Berkman’s concerns stating that the college has taken that into consideration and most of the construction will be done during the summer recess.

Mr. Pahucki stated that some of the new Legislators have not been privy to some of the discussions with the town, the City of Middletown, and the college with reformatting South Street, etc., but this is the first step in the right direction to keep it the way it is. He would like to see more parking garages; stack them up, the sky’s the limit.

Mr. Depew requested that he be added as a sponsor on this resolution. He also thanked the new County Historian for taking such an aggressive role in trying to preserve one of the truly historic buildings noting that it is necessary to preserve the 1841 Courthouse building over some others. He complimented Ms. Bush for the great job that she is doing and he hopes that the County is awarded this grant.

Mr. Berkman elaborated on Mr. Depew’s comments, stating that the County’s new Histo- rian is taking a very active role, breathing life into that building. She is certainly taking command and he is proud of the Legislature’s support of the renovation of that building; it is an historic gem and a part of our heritage. He continued that the Legislature is fulfilling their responsibilities by seeking grants to make required improvements on that building. He also complimented Mr. Sly, who was the County’s Historian for many years.

Chairman Pillmeier clarified that it is a matching grant. The vote resulted as follows:

RESOLUTION NO. 177 OF 2011

RESOLUTION ADOPTING A BUDGET FOR THE ORANGE COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2011-2012 AND PROVIDING FOR THE RAISING OF TAXES REQUIRED BY SUCH BUDGET, PURSUANT TO SECTION 6304 OF THE EDUCATION LAW AND ARTICLE IV OF THE ORANGE COUNTY CHARTER.

WHEREAS, the County Executive has received from the Trustees of the Orange County Community College a budget request for fiscal year 2011-2012, dated June 27, 2011; and

WHEREAS, this Legislature did set a time and place for a public hearing upon the proposed Orange County Community College Budget for the fiscal year 2011-2012, to be held on August 4, 2011, at 3:15 p.m.; and

WHEREAS, due notice of such public hearing was given and said public hearing was held on August 4, 2011, at 3:15 p.m., in the Orange County Government Center, 255 Main Street, Goshen, New York; and

2. That the proposed budget submitted to the County Executive by the Board of Trustees of the Orange County Community College on June 27, 2011, be and hereby is approved and adopted, as changed and modified, and summarized as follows: 314 SPECIAL SESSION - Wednesday, August 24, 2011

4. This resolution shall take effect on September 1, 2011.

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Simmons stated that he planned to vote against the Resolution. He added that it wasn’t because he didn’t support Orange County Community College but because he wasn’t happy with the process. He noted that he was perplexed as to how they got to where they were and that we were going to use the amount of the reserve fund to help balance the budget. He stated that he was sure that the resolution will pass but he strongly felt that they all need to take a better look at the process. A message needs to be sent to Orange County Community College and other department heads that they need to review and make plans ahead of time as to how they will manage their own funds and not rely on the Legislature to rubber stamp these types of issues.

Chairman Pillmeier pointed out to Mr. Simmons that he would appreciate if Mr. Simmons didn’t use the word “we” because it was Orange County Community College that used the $1.9 million of fund balance to balance the 2011-2012 budget.

Mr. Simmons cordially accepted Chairman Pillmeier’s clarification.

Mrs. Donnery commented that she has never felt the way she feels today concerning the Orange County Community College budget and the word would be “disappointment,” disappointment in the process. She explained that she does not like to not support anything with education and she is not stating that she will not vote for it, but she certainly feels that they need to have a discussion after this with regard to the process and other things that people are questioning.

Mrs. Bonelli asked if, in fact, this does not pass today, what happens then.

Chairman Pillmeier replied that, by law, the Legislature has to pass a budget for Orange County Community College by September 1, 2011 and, if they do not, the pressure will be on SPECIAL SESSION - Wednesday, August 24, 2011 315

OCCC to do something with their budget and then the Legislature will have to call for another special meeting because they have to have a budget in place by September 1, 2011.

Mrs. Bonelli asked if it would be on the Legislative Session agenda on September 1, 2011 or does it have to be in place by September 1.

Chairman Pillmeier responded that a budget would have to be in place by midnight September 1, 2011.

The Summary of Revenues for Orange County Community College for the fiscal year September 1, 2011 through August 31, 2012, as amended and revised, follows:

2010-11 2010-11 2011-12 2011-12 Adopted Actual Adopted Actual

The vote resulted as follows:

Ayes: Bonacic, Berkman, Anagnostakis, Benton, Berardinelli, Bonelli, Brescia, Buckbee, Burger, Castricone, Depew, Donnery, Hines, Kemnitz, Paduch, Pahucki, Petro, Pillmeier

Noes: Simmons

Ayes 18; Noes 1; Absent 2; ADOPTED.

Mr. Petro referred to Mr. Simmons’ previous comments noting that this is not a unique problem just to Orange County Community College because during these economic times so many places and so many entities including the private sector are using up their reserves and the money that they have saved. He stated that it is an ongoing major problem for a lot of different people and entities.

Chairman Pillmeier added that Orange County government is in the same position.

Mr. Castricone stated that he was very concerned and the last thing he wanted to do today in this chamber was to vote “no” on a budget that will have students showing up for school next week and not have teachers standing in front of their classroom. He added that the Legislature needs to change this process and they need to seriously think about not having this budget put before them a week before school is about to start. This is unacceptable. They need to change the way that this is done; the budget should have been done long ago and their report from Bennett Kielson should have come in earlier than thirty days ago in order for the Legislature to have an opportunity to make any changes. 316 SPECIAL SESSION - Wednesday, August 24, 2011

Mr. Berkman stated, without being critical of any individual, that Mr. Castricone makes a very good point; it does take time for the Legislators to digest the audit report between receiving it and voting on the budget. He added that all of the Legislators were unanimous, even those who voted “no” on today’s budget, about the concern for providing affordable education for students of our County and at the same time, with the pressure on all budgets, including Orange County Community College, they have to be more fine tuned and take the time in the process to do that. He expressed great concern about the diminishment of the fund balance. He continued that they will get through this year alright but next year it seems that all bets are off. Mr. Berkman stated that he wants to relay this concern to the officials at Orange County Community College and to make sure that the Legislature is not re-visited in the middle of the year by the college stating that they have run out of funds.

Chairman Pillmeier commented that he is disappointed that some of these questions did not come up at Monday’s committee meeting.

Mr. Simmons stated that some of the questions did arise at the committee meeting and it did take the Legislators some time to digest the information. He added that he does not have to justify himself; his support of Orange County Community College in the past speaks for itself but he also wants to make sure that a message is sent that, as the Bennett Kielson representatives mentioned, they do not wait six months before they start “tightening their belts” and having to worry that half-way through the year the College will have to play catch up. He felt very strongly that it would pass anyway but he just needed to make a statement.

Chairman Pillmeier responded to Mr. Simmons stating that he appreciates his comments but the budget process has not changed over the years and Orange County Community College is part of the budget process so, if he is suggesting that they change some dates, then they would have to change the budget process for the entire County. He added that they do have some time constraints to some degree but everything was done in a timely fashion. He reminded the Legislators that when they are given information they need to review it immediately and begin to raise questions. He certainly can appreciate today’s discussion and he does not disagree with it but there was time to ask the questions prior to today’s Legislative Session.

Mr. Simmons replied that there was definitely a disparity as to what the actual facts and figures were; Bennett Kielson had a set of facts that was entirely different than what Orange County Community College had presented.

Chairman Pillmeier asked Mr. Simmons who works for the Legislature. Mr. Simmons replied that they both do.

Chairman Pillmeier stated that was incorrect, Bennett Kielson works for the Legislature and they pay them good money.

Mr. Berardinelli stated that everyone that commented was justified in their remarks and as Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, he would like to see in the 2012 budgeted year that they look at OCCC a little closer than they have in the past and, perhaps, have scheduled reviews to see how they are doing with the budget so they do not wait until the end of the year when the next budget is being presented only to discover then that they have a problem.

On motion of Mr. Pahucki, seconded by Mr. Buckbee, the Legislature adjourned at 4:18 p.m.

The Legislature convened in Regular Session at 3:35 p.m. today.

The Legislature was called to order by Chairman Pillmeier with a moment of silence and the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.

Chairman Pillmeier welcomed everyone to the venue for today’s Legislative Session, the Emergency Services Building Auditorium.

Chairman Pillmeier thanked, on behalf of himself and the Orange County Legislature, Emergency Services Commissioner Walter Koury for the use of this building. He also thanked Deputy Commissioner Seamus Leary and the entire 911 staff for a job well-done during the past week’s major weather event. Chairman Pillmeier thanked County Executive Edward A. Diana, Deputy County Executive James O’Donnell, Director of Operations and Cost Control Richard Mayfield and the entire County Executive’s staff for keeping him well informed during the storm. He stated that we can all be very proud of the well-organized staff by the County Executive and how well they functioned during this major storm event, especially, with the County Government Center complex being shut down. He also thanked all of the Orange County departments that were displaced for the past several days and were up and running on Tuesday morning in new locations so the County was up and running at full speed on Tuesday morning. He thanked all of those departments for doing such a fine job handling a situation that was totally unexpected to everyone. Chairman Pillmeier gave thanks to his own, Legislative staff, for a job well-done to be re-located to the 1841 Courthouse building. He thanked the County Historian for welcoming the staff, noting that it is a great building and the staff did a great job keeping the County Legislative Office open.

Chairman Pillmeier gave a brief update on Hurricane Irene noting the members of FEMA staff are in the County, today only. The County was divided into four divisions so they are out doing some assessments and gathering some information to pass along to the “powers that be,” and to hopefully have the County designated as a disaster county. Today, everyone has received, by hand, a letter from our County Executive which he had forwarded to the Governor and the President of the United States seeking the same.

On roll call, all members were present.

Ms. Bonacic moved to approve the minutes of July 7, 2011 and August 4, 2011, seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Eachus requested consent to place on the agenda, RESOLUTION OF THE ORANGE COUNTY LEGISLATURE URGING PRESIDENT BARACK H. OBAMA AND GOVERNOR ANDREW M. CUOMO TO DECLARE ORANGE COUNTY NEW YORK A DISASTER AREA DUE TO HURRICANE IRENE, seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Chairman Pillmeier stated if there were no objections, the resolution would be placed on the agenda as Item No. 18, seconded by Mr. Berkman.

Clerk Whightsil announced that on Agenda Item No. 8, under Schedule “A” the Republican caucus, which received their packets last night, needs to strike out two parcels that were paid for by the original owners (Crawford 12-1-7, Warwick 209-3-2), the Democrats and 318 REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, September 1, 2011

Mr. Berkman replied that is outstanding; he supports the local government doing the SEQRA proceedings and being the lead agency rather than the County.

Legislative Counsel Reed explained that it was clarified that the County is merely the conduit and the administrator for the federal grant funds.

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Simmons commented that this property is very important for his district. Historically, it has been an access point to the Delaware River, not only for Port Jervis, but Deerpark and the surrounding counties even into Pennsylvania. He continued that it certainly will be a “win-win” situation for the County and the areas that he represents.

Mr. Depew stated in defense of sportsmen’s rights throughout the County, this is a great initiative to adopt this piece of property, especially knowing that currently, sportsmen use this as an access to the river for fishing. It certainly is a great move forward for the Orange County Land Trust and the sportsmen to work together.

Mr. Pahucki commented that being around for a while one gets to see how long this can take. He thanked previous Legislator, Wayne Decker, who worked tirelessly to get this moving. He added that Mr. Depew made a great point and he wholeheartedly agrees with him.

WHEREAS, pursuant to Local Law No. 2 of 2010:

The County Executive, with the assistance of the Enforcing Officer, Orange County Real Property Tax Service Agency Director, County Attorney, and such other persons as he or she REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, September 1, 2011 325 may deem necessary, may withdraw any parcel that the County Executive deems beneficial for County use, open space use, or for such other reason as he or she deems sufficient, to the extent allowed by law. Any withdrawal by the County Executive as set forth herein must be approved by a majority vote of the County Legislature. and,

WHEREAS, the Real Property Tax Service Agency is desirous of withdrawing the list of properties from the 2011 Deed Sale Auction in accordance with said Local Law No. 2 of 2010 that may be deemed beneficial for the County’s use, open space use or local municipality use. (See SCHEDULE “A” attached).

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby

RESOLVED, that the attached list of parcels are hereby withdrawn from the 2011 Deed Sale Auction list in accordance with Local Law No. 2 of 2010.

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Eachus stated that, although, he agrees with the essence of this resolution, his question was since they are withdrawing land as a County government from these municipalities, have they been informed that this land is coming off the tax rolls. He understands that they do not have a particular say but are they satisfied with this idea. Mr. Eachus also asked if the County have specific assignments for the uses of each one of the properties that are going to come out under County use.

Legislative Counsel Reed responded that Mr. McCarey, Real Property Tax Director did reach out to the municipalities and also to the Land Trust to see whether there was an interest in these properties. She continued that in the second grouping, it states “municipality use” for the City of Port Jervis (Deerpark) and Warwick. She reviewed the parcels beginning with the Town of Blooming Grove which is a forested parcel that is adjacent to the Heritage Trail, it’s landlocked and it could be used as a buffer for the Heritage Trail. The second parcel is in Blooming Grove and to be used for public road improvements. The Monroe property is a forested parcel adjacent to the future Heritage Trail extension and could serve as a buffer for future trail use. The next parcel in the Town of Warwick is a forested parcel next to the Warwick County Park. She stated that those were the uses; however, she does not have the uses that the local municipalities may have for the parcels. 326 REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, September 1, 2011

Mr. Eachus thanked Legislative Counsel Reed stating that her responses answered the questions that he had.

RESOLUTION OF THE ORANGE COUNTY LEGISLATURE URGING PRESIDENT BARACK H. OBAMA AND GOVERNOR ANDREW M. CUOMO TO DECLARE ORANGE COUNTY NEW YORK A DISASTER AREA DUE TO HURRICANE IRENE. 340 REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, September 1, 2011

WHEREAS, Hurricane Irene which struck Orange County on the weekend of August 26, 2011, with its fierce winds and nearly 10 inches of rainfall inundated the many creeks and rivers, especially the Ramapo, Wallkill and Neversink Rivers in and throughout the Moodna Creek Basin. The Hurricane and its aftermath destroyed public and private infrastructure, county and local municipal facilities and personal homes and businesses in Orange County; and

WHEREAS, throughout the storm, more than 2,000 Orange County residents have been ordered to evacuate their homes and businesses and do not know when they may be able to return. The American Red Cross opened emergency evacuation shelters at the Anna S. Kuhl Elementary School in Port Jervis and the Taft Elementary School in Washingtonville.

WHEREAS, the United States and New York State government through Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the New York State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) provide much needed funds and assistance to public and private entities and individuals to help rebuild their communities and their lives; and

WHEREAS, on or about August 31, 2011, President Obama declared New York State a federal natural disaster area and through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Federal Emergency Management Agency announced that federal aid would be made available to New York State, making funds available to affected individuals in Albany, Delaware, Dutchess, Essex, Greene, Schenectady, Schoharie and Ulster Counties. However, Orange County is not yet on the FEMA designation list

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY

RESOLVED, that the Orange County Legislature hereby requests and urges President Barack H. Obama and New York State Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to declare Orange County a State of Disaster area due to excessive rains, winds and flooding caused by Hurricane Irene so that Orange County and its residents may be eligible for Federal and State natural disaster aid and relief assistance programs; and be it further

Obama, President of the United States; U.S. Senators Charles E. Schumer and Kirsten E. Gillibrand; U.S. Congressmen Maurice D. Hinchey and Nan Hayworth, New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo and to each member of the State Senate and Assembly whose districts include all or part of Orange County.

Clerk Whightsil read the Consent Resolution which was seconded by Legislator Buckbee; however, Clerk Whightsil noted that there were no sponsors.

Chairman Pillmeier stated that he was going to ask that all of the Legislators support this resolution. He thanked Legislator Buckbee and explained, to the people of the Town of Warwick that, unfortunately, Legislator Buckbee cannot be listed as a sponsor on this resolution because of procedure, but, he is still very supportive of this resolution.

Mr. Berkman commented that after the informational meeting that was held yesterday, the Democratic caucus had a discussion and he complimented Mr. Eachus for his idea and he was pleased that they were unanimously in support of this and it appears that they were all in agreement with every resolution today, which is very rare, but it is nice to know that they can come together after the challenges they have all been facing in Orange County.

Mr. Depew stated as the Chairman of the Public Safety and Emergency Services Committee, he just wanted to take the time to thank all of the emergency service volunteers from EMS and firefighters as well as community volunteers who went out during this storm with some of the most difficult hours coming after the rain with the heavy winds in the afternoon, as well as all of the police, sheriff deputies and state troopers who put their lives on the line to help people in very difficult situations during the storm. He acknowledged that there are still 6,0000+ residents in our County who are still without power and asked that all residents that have power, to offer a lending hand to those who do not, and to keep them in their prayers.

Chairman Pillmeier invited all Legislators to visit upstairs, to see how the Situation Room has been operating for the last several days; however, it has been downsized tremendously from Monday until today. He commented that he has been here on and off for the last several days and it is a “well-oiled machine” here and the Legislators have a lot to be proud of in this facility in Orange County.

ANNUAL SESSION

Thursday, October 6, 2011

The Legislature convened in Regular Session at 3:30 p.m. today at the Orange County Emergency Services Center Auditorium (due to the closure of the Orange County Government Center which was storm damaged).

The Legislature was called to order by Chairman Pillmeier with a moment of silence and the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.

On roll call, all members were present.

Chairman Pillmeier recognized Bill Uszenski as Orange County’s Honoree at the New York State Senior Citizens’ Day sponsored by the New York State Office for the Aging. Majority Leader Melissa Bonacic read a proclamation from New York State Senator John J. Bonacic which detailed the many contributions that Mr. Uszenski makes to enhance the life of seniors.

Chairman Pillmeier stated that Mr. Uszenski was a former classmate of his who has always done much for the community.

Chairman Pillmeier recognized Tom Davis for outstanding public service and good works on the occasion of his retirement from Orange County Cornell Cooperative Extension. Legislator Daniel Depew detailed the many things that Tom had done for him when he was a member of 4-H.

Chairman Pillmeier congratulated Tom on his retirement. He felt that Tom had reached so many young people in his role at Cornell Cooperative Extension and had helped them to move on to become productive adults who live and work in Orange County.

County Executive Diana further praised Mr. Davis for all his contributions to the youth of Orange County and thanked him for all he had done.

Mr. Davis communicated how much he appreciated all the kind comments from everyone and thanked the County Legislature and County Executive for all their support. He thanked his colleagues from Cornell that were at the meeting today.

Chairman Pillmeier reminded everyone that this was National 4-H Week and Cornell Cooperative Extension Week. He introduced Lucy Joyce, Acting Executive Director of Orange County Cornell Cooperative Extension who informed everyone that the slogan for Cornell University Cooperative Extension’s Centennial Anniversary is “One Great Idea.” She gave an overview of the many programs that Cornell conducts.

Ms. Bonacic moved to approve the minutes of August 24, 2011 September 1, 2011, seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

ADOPTED. ANNUAL SESSION - Thursday, October 6, 2011 343

RESOLUTION NO. 195 OF 2011

RESOLUTION OF THE ORANGE COUNTY LEGISLATURE URGING THE U.S. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA, PERTINENT FEDERAL AGENCIES, MEMBERS OF THE U. S. CONGRESS, NEW YORK GOVERNOR ANDREW M. CUOMO, PERTI- NENT STATE AGENCIES AS WELL AS MEMBERS OF THE NEW YORK STATE LEGIS- LATURE TO FUND AND CAUSE STUDIES TO BE PERFORMED ON THE PUBLIC HEALTH IMPACTS OF THE USE OF CELL TRANSMISSIONS, WI-FI, WIRELESS SMART METERS AND OTHER SOURCES OF CONTINUOUS MICROWAVE AND RADIO FREQUENCY RADIATION.

WHEREAS, the consequences, impacts and implications of the increasing use of communications technologies including cell transmissions, Wi-Fi, wireless smart meters and other sources of continuous microwave and radio frequency radiation are disputed and part of public discussions, dialogue and debate; and

WHEREAS, Orange County Government has an active interest in protecting public health by assisting in efforts to provide information to the public, so they are empowered to make informed choices; and

WHEREAS, cell phones, wireless devices and infrastructure are known to emit microwave and other Non-Ionizing Electromagnetic Radiation (NIEMR) in human environments; and

WHEREAS, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) of the World Health Organization (WHO), has recently issued an announcement that microwave and radiofrequency radiation from the technologies specified in this Resolution are identified as sources of possible harmful carcinogens; and

WHEREAS, the Orange County Legislature recognizes the need for additional study of potential health effects of stated microwave and radiofrequency emissions and acknowledge that these efforts are national and international in scope; and

WHEREAS, the Orange County Legislature understands that the Federal government is in the most advantageous position to implement these needed scientific studies.

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby

RESOLVED, that the Orange County Legislature is on record as urging the Federal and New York State Governments to initiate epidemiological studies of populations exposed to microwave transmitters including but not limited to Wi-Fi and cell transmitters; and be it further 344 ANNUAL SESSION - Thursday, October 6, 2011

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Brescia was first to be recognized to address this resolution. However, before he addressed the resolution, Mr. Brescia requested that presentations for the Legislative Session not be done at the podium but in front of the stage so that all Legislators could see the speakers. Chairman Pillmeier thanked Mr. Brescia for bringing the issue to his attention and assured him that it would be corrected for future meetings at the Emergency Services Center auditorium.

Mr. Brescia then thanked Deborah Kopald for bringing the WIFI issue before the Legisla- ture. He believes this legislation will pass unanimously. There are important health hazards that need to be looked at by the federal government. Hopefully, by bringing this forward, they will make a difference. He thanked her for all her research and emails. He stated that he received more emails from her than anyone else. He also thanked Legislators Berkman and Amo for keeping the Legislature well informed.

Mr. Berkman also thanked Ms. Kopald for bringing this issue to his attention and allowing the Democratic Caucus to bring it to the table. He credits her for being an educator, as that is the intent of the resolution and the spirit in which it was presented. He thanked Mr. Brescia, for after several months, he allowed this to go on the Rules Agenda. He stated, “We had some vibrant discussions at the committee and made some changes to the proposed resolution through the legislative process. I am proud of the fact that Orange County will be the first county in the state and among the very few governments in the country to urge the federal and state government to step up and really make some determinations as to the possible health risk” of WIFI, cell phones, etc. Mr. Berkman is not a scientist and he stated that he certainly is not educated enough to make an informed opinion. He does not believe that the resources of county government, especially now and even before, are equipped to do this kind of in- depth study. However, the federal and state government should and could play a participatory role in providing information on this important issue. He urges all Legislators to vote yes. For those who are hesitating, he tells them “this does not cost the county any money.” He urges the federal and state government to do the research to protect the people.

Mrs. Bonelli, also thanked Ms. Kopald. She acknowledged Ms. Kopald’s tenacity which is unsurpassed. Her compassion for this issue is recognized. The fact that this matter has gone this far is a testament to her. She also thanks Legislator Berkman. She has had numerous conversations with him on this issue. While there was some hesitancy in the beginning, she believes he has tailored a resolution that the majority of Legislators can get behind and vote in favor of. This is an important issue that needs further explanation and further exploration. It is a matter beyond this Legislature’s control. She congratulates him for his efforts.

Mrs. Donnery spoke next. She recognized Deborah’s “stick-to-itiveness and determination in being the squeaky wheel.” She believes that in the future “we will be very grateful to you because I do believe things will be revealed about what you have been saying and will be worth all of our while.” ANNUAL SESSION - Thursday, October 6, 2011 345

Mr. Depew stated that the Legislators will all agree that the best positive outcome of any research is that there will be no effects. The research will have to determine whether he is right or wrong. In his opinion, it is not the role of taxpayers to ask the federal and state government to do more research. Rather, it is to encourage those levels of government working with the FCC and the electronics providers to require that the necessary studies be conducted before they start handing out authorizations. They should be more concerned with public safety than with necessarily adding to regulations. “That way we do not get thrown into some kind of reactionary issue,” he stated. It’s not for the taxpayer, to have to pay the costs for governments to monitor and regulate companies that could have a potential public safety risk. He supports the resolution. He hopes the research does get gone and that the federal and state government use moneys from the profiteers to cause the studies to be conducted.

Mr. Berardinelli first apologized to Ms. Kopald for not getting back to her when she called. He did say to her that he would not make a decision until he had an opportunity to read the resolution. Today, he will be voting yes. He thanked her for all her hard work.

Mrs. Kemnitz also thanked Ms. Kopald for supplying Legislators with information and the CD which discusses the studies performed in Europe. It only took an hour to view. She stated that we already have evidence accruing in Europe. She is confident that this resolution will pass today and it will benefit all the citizens and children in Orange County.

Mr. Castricone stated that like Mr. Berkman, he is no scientist. He does not know what the long term effects will be and is no position to comment on it. One thing he can say is that he has been educated here today. He spends his life walking around carrying his smart phone and his ipad. He has his smart phone set as a hot spot so that his emails continuously download into his ipad without ever realizing that there was such a thing as a hypersensitive person to the electronic radiation emanating from his hip. He has shut the hot spot off and certainly will never turn it on again unless he is actually using it. He stated to Mr. Sam Vsema (a speaker on the resolution) that he has reached at least one person. “My apologies for having it on.”

Mr. Hines thanked Ms. Kopald for her hard work. He spoke to her many times on the phone. He is someone who has been wearing a pager on his belt for the last twenty-eight years. He hopes the research Deborah provided will be wrong. At the same time, he believes the research has to be done. He requested to be added as a sponsor and concurs with all his colleagues that have spoken thus far.

Mr. Pahucki appreciates that this is coming to a vote. Unfortunately, he looks at this resolution as being better than nothing. He looks at science and big industry and the people who are bringing this issue to our attention concerning the potential risk of radiation through electromagnetic fields on the human body and on our children. The people who are worried about it have no stake in the industry. When he looks at the best science that big industry could buy, they argue that this causes no ill effect. He has to start to think, “Well, who has something to gain? The people who are worried about electromagnetic fields? The people who have been exposed and are now hyper-sensitive to electromagnetic fields? Or do we believe the people who have got so many millions and billions of dollars at stake that buy the best science to argue against common sense.” He is voting for it but states that the issue has been diluted down. Legislators have stated that they have been educated. But he has taken some action. “Now I have an electromagnetic blocking device on my cell phone. I discontin- ued WIFI in my house although it is an inconvenience to me. It’s all about the people you care about and want to see live a long time on this planet. It is not about the million and billion of dollars at stake,” he stated. He will vote for this resolution. He wished that the body was voting on the resolution as originally presented, rather than passing the buck and “making ourselves feels good.” 346 ANNUAL SESSION - Thursday, October 6, 2011

Mr. Berardinelli commented this sales tax resolution merely maintains the tax rate to what it presently is. It does not raise the rate. New York State only allows the counties to charge a 3% sales tax. The counties who charge more than 3% (which is most) must receive special legislation to charge the extra percentage. We must do this every two years. Once the state approves the legislation, the county must then adopt the rate. “That’s what we are doing today,” he stated.

RESOLUTION NO. 205 OF 2011

RESOLUTION OF THE ORANGE COUNTY LEGISLATURE RECOGNIZING OC- TOBER 15, 2011 AS “WHITE CANE AWARENESS DAY.”

WHEREAS, in 1921, James Biggs, a photographer from Bristol, England, became blind following an accident. He painted his walking stick white to be more visible while navigating the traffic in his community; and

WHEREAS, to make the American people more fully aware of the meaning of the white cane and of the need for motorists to exercise special care for the blind person who carries it, on October 6, 1964, the United States Congress approved a resolution authorizing the Presi- dent of the United States to annually issue a proclamation designating October 15th as “National White Cane Awareness Day”; and

WHEREAS, white cane laws are on the books of every state in the United States and many other countries, providing blind persons a legal status in traffic. The white cane now univer- sally acknowledges that the bearer is blind. New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law provides: “Every driver of a vehicle approaching an intersection or crosswalk shall yield the right of way to a pedestrian crossing or attempting to cross the roadway when such pedestrian is accompanied by a guide dog or using a cane which is metallic or white in color or white with a red tip.”; and

WHEREAS, many people who reside in Orange County are blind and/or visually impaired. They strive for their own independence and the opportunity to participate in public activities. We recognize their accomplishments and the significance of the white cane and federal and state laws that protect their rights.

THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY

RESOLVED, that We, the Orange County Legislature, hereby recognize October 15, 2011 as “White Cane Awareness Day” and convey these sentiments to every citizen of Orange County, so that all might acknowledge the rights of the blind and/or visually impaired and abide by the White Cane Safety Laws.

RESOLUTION NO. 206 OF 2011

RESOLUTION OF THE ORANGE COUNTY LEGISLATURE RECOGNIZING OC- TOBER, 2011 AS “NATIONAL DISABILITY EMPLOYMENT AWARENESS MONTH.”

WHEREAS, in 1945 the United States Congress enacted Public Law 176, designating the first week in October of each year as “National Employ the Physically Handicapped Week.” President Harry S. Truman designated the President’s committee on Employment of People with Disabilities to carry out the Act. In 1962, the word “physically” was removed from the week’s name to acknowledge the employment needs of all Americans with disabilities. In 1988, Congress expanded the week to a month and changed its name to “National Disability Employment Awareness Month.” The Labor Department’s Office of Disability Employment Policy took over responsibility for National Disability Employment Awareness in 2001; and

WHEREAS, this year, the United States Department of Labor announced “Profit by Investing in Workers with Disabilities” as the 2011 official theme for the National Disability Employment Awareness Month. The theme honors the contributions of workers with disabilities and serves to inform the public that they represent a highly skilled pool of talent that can help employers compete in today’s global economy; and

WHEREAS, this year the Orange and Sullivan Counties Employment Alliance Network (OSCEAN) will be recognizing local businesses who employ individuals with disabilities at their annual breakfast on Friday October 7, 2011 at Kuhl’s Highland House, Highland Avenue Extension, Middletown New York.

THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY

RESOLVED, that We, the Orange County Legislature, hereby recognize October, 2011 as “National Disability Employment Awareness Month” and convey these sentiments to every citizen of Orange County, so that all might acknowledge the rights of the disabled and the need to increase public awareness of the contributions and skills of Americans workers with disabilities; and be it further

WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE:

Sponsor: Berardinelli

“RESOLUTION REVISING THE PROPOSED 2012 EXECUTIVE BUDGET FOR OR- ANGE COUNTY, PURSUANT TO SECTION 358 OF THE COUNTY LAW AND SEC- TION 4.07(a) OF THE ORANGE COUNTY CHARTER.”

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Eachus questioned whether it would be possible to have a complete description of the amendments and adjustments to the budget as they have been passed to the full Legislature at this time.

Chairman Pillmeier replied in the affirmative.

Legislative Counsel Reed stated the first proposal was the Bennett Kielson changes which included the $200,000.00 to the Sheriff’s budget for overtime based upon discussions between the County Executive and Sheriff’s Office. She continued that the only other change was to the budget for the Legislature, to deduct $3,000.00 from the mileage reimbursement line.

Legislative Counsel Reed continued that there were then the four proposals that were presented at the Ways and Means Committee meeting, as follows: 1) The Democratic Caucus proposal to fund Valley View for the full year of 2012, that being with the use of anticipated IGT moneys of $5.7 million and using appropriated sales tax of $3.6 million; 2) Legislator Anagnostakis’ proposal which included various adjustments to the revenue and expense sides of the budget seeking to fund Valley View through decreases and adjustments from $57,211,401.00 to $51,900,017.00; 3) Legislator Castricone seeks to fund Valley View for 2012 using anticipated IGT funds of $4.7 million, appropriated surplus of $3.6 million, anticipated sales tax revenue of $1 million and an adjustment to the austerity line of $2 million for a total of $11.3 million; 4) Legislator Depew’s proposal which seeks to set up a reserve fund for $3 million with the expectation that there would be IGT funds of $3 million and $3 million of anticipated cost and personnel savings.

Legislator Depew inquired whether the final step would be to vote on the budget as revised which was confirmed by Legislative Counsel Reed.

Legislative Counsel Reed stated that the proposed revisions would be voted on in the order they were presented, and they would see what comes from those votes and vote on the revising resolution to the 2012 budget. 390 REGULAR SESSION - Monday, November 14, 2011

Legislator Bonacic moved to reduce Legislators’ mileage reimbursement by $3,000.00.

Seconded by Mr. Depew.

The vote resulted as follows:

Ayes: Bonacic, Berkman, Amo, Anagnostakis, Benton, Berardinelli, Bonelli, Brescia, Buckbee, Burger, Castricone, Depew, Donnery, Eachus, Hines, Kemnitz, Paduch, Pahucki, Petro, Simmons, Pillmeier

Ayes 21; Noes 0; Absent 0; ADOPTED.

Legislator Bonelli moved to accept the proposed Bennett Kielson changes.

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Legislator Berardinelli reviewed the Legislative Adjustments sheet from Bennett Kielson saying that the total budget was $712,932,667.00; County taxation portion was $110,430,080.00.

Discussion followed with Chairman Pillmeier and Legislator Eachus confirming that they would be voting on the proposed revisions to the 2012 budget.

Legislator Anagnostakis clarified that the $4.6 million adjustment for Valley View IGT was taken out of the County Executive’s proposed budget and counterbalanced with increased County taxation in the Valley View budget line which was confirmed by Budget Director Neil Blair.

The vote resulted as follows:

Ayes: Bonacic, Berkman, Amo, Anagnostakis, Benton, Berardinelli, Bonelli, Brescia, Buckbee, Burger, Castricone, Depew, Donnery, Eachus, Hines, Kemnitz, Paduch, Pahucki, Petro, Simmons, Pillmeier

Ayes 21; Noes 0; Absent 0; ADOPTED.

Chairman Pillmeier stated the next item to be discussed was Legislator Berkman’s proposal.

Legislator Berkman moved to place his proposal on the floor.

Seconded by Mr. Depew.

Legislator Berkman stated he had heard people speak about what was in the best interest of Orange County and as an elected official, along with his colleagues, they have attempted to do their best to represent the people. He continued that when he analyzed Valley View, he made a three-prong analysis, as follows: 1) Good quality of care for the residents which needed to be maintained if a change was made. He thanked the workforce for providing quality care; 2) He felt they had a duty to be fair to all Orange County employees including the 425 at Valley View; 3) Money savings for the County since this was an expensive operation to run and they needed to plan for a more frugal, cost-effective future. Legislator Berkman stated that looking at the County Executive’s budget, budgeting for Valley View for only half a year and laying off 425 people would save the County money. In regard to the residents - six months would just cause them to be frightened and was insufficient time for families to prepare and REGULAR SESSION - Monday, November 14, 2011 391 would not be fair to employees either. After having spent $118,000.00 for the study, they should look at all the recommendations. This was why the Democratic Caucus was presenting their proposal, and if it failed, they were open to other proposals.

Legislator Simmons stated he would also like to put a couple things to rest. He continued that this vote was strictly on Valley View, and it was not about another government center because he had already gone on record that he would not vote for a $130 million government center. He felt the information being given out on that was totally erroneous. He continued that it was about Valley View and the residents and he was disappointed about hearing a lot of personal attacks during the many meetings that had been held. He continued that he wondered why this had come before them in the way it had since many people had been here more years than he had, and they had the votes to make changes. He further stated that he had relatives in private nursing homes, and they had been given excellent care. He continued that he had been struggling with all of this because things that had been said.

Legislator Pahucki stated that he would like to apologize to his constituents who reside at Valley View for the anxiety that this process has caused. He continued that he had been on the Legislature for seventeen years and considered Mr. Diana to be quite astute and agreed with him half or maybe more of the time, but he was surprised what the administration had done when it came to cutting costs and streamlining government. He felt that Jim Burpoe was a shining example of what the administration had done to streamline government - phones, electric bills, etc., they were saving millions and he gave the County Executive lots of credit. He continued that in all the departments where there had been less than stellar savings, the County Executive and committees had jumped to save money and worked on how to do things going forward to save, but he felt that hadn’t happened at Valley View. They had years’ worth of committee meetings with no numbers. He continued that the administration had always been concerned with quality of life but not in this instance. He stated he liked the Democratic proposal because there were things included which told them how they were going to get there. He felt the County Executive had given them a closure plan, and there were a number of Legislators that wanted to come up with a turnaround plan. Companies going under hire people to come up with a turnaround plan, but that hasn’t been done at Valley View. He felt the Democratic Plan had a turnaround plan by saying they wanted the termination of the contract with OAS. He didn’t feel the company was doing its job, and this needed to be looked at closely in the days ahead, but they needed twelve months, not six. He continued that there were things in the OAS contract that needed to be done such as collective bargaining, improved facility payer mix, reducing costs, capital improvement program, and they weren’t being done. He urged his colleagues to adopt one of the plans, so that they would have time to figure out what the next step would be.

Legislator Castricone thanked the Democratic Caucus for their plan, but stated he wouldn’t be supporting it, because he would be supporting his own plan which was a combination of things. It took the thoughts about finances by moving the IGT funds into a more reasonable spot. He continued that the people who had been coming to speak at meetings needed to reach out to their State and Federal representatives asking them to change the way Valley View was reimbursed. He felt there needed to be more money coming down from above in order to help with the funding since they are providing a service for which they charge $230 per day, and it costs $450 to provide. He continued that with regard to the expenses, he wouldn’t have made the changes if he hadn’t studied Mr. Anagnostakis’ plan which showed that there would be savings going forward such as utility costs, benefits for unfunded positions, etc. He stated that there were three stakeholders in all this: the County taxpayers, residents of Valley View and the employees whose help they needed to manage things better and cut expenses. He felt his plan took all of the plans into consideration, combined them and funded Valley View for the full year. 392 REGULAR SESSION - Monday, November 14, 2011

Legislator Donnery stated that this was difficult because they had difficulty getting information. She spoke about not being able to get sales tax numbers which she knew were up because of Woodbury, which she represented. She continued that under her leadership, this wouldn’t have happened; she wouldn’t have been dealing with closing Valley View and employees wouldn’t have been treated the way they are being treated. She continued that the numbers wouldn’t have been there to do this.

The vote resulted as follows:

Ayes: Berkman, Burger, Donnery, Eachus, Kemnitz, Paduch, Pahucki

Noes: Bonacic, Amo, Anagnostakis, Benton, Berardinelli, Bonelli, Brescia, Buckbee, Castricone, Depew, Hines, Petro, Simmons, Pillmeier

Ayes 7; Noes 14; Absent 0; DEFEATED.

Mr. Berardinelli moved to discuss Mr. Anagnostakis’ proposal.

Seconded by Mr. Hines.

Legislator Anagnostakis clarified that everyone had the correct proposal. He stated on Page 2, the first item - Intergovernmental Transfer - $4,563,315, as per the County Executive’s proposed budget had been taken out - Line 427721, thus increasing Valley View - County taxation by that same amount but keeping the County taxation the same. This proposal lowers it by $269,586.00.

Legislator Depew spoke about how hard Mr. Anagnostakis had worked to understand the budget and was upfront about what he wanted to do which he appreciated. He continued that his concerns had not gone away about going forward and funding enough money to sustain this. He felt that six months wasn’t enough time, but in regard to surplus money; he was concerned where they would be twelve months from then - where the residents and the employees would be, so they could make the decision to move forward now or later. He continued that he would rather make it now.

Legislator Hines echoed Mr. Depew’s comments to Mr. Anagnostakis. He continued that no matter which one of the proposals they chose, there would be return to surplus. He further stated that there was no way they could close Valley View July 1st. He spoke about speeches that were made on Veterans Day and how veterans would have to be sent to facilities that they were not familiar with if Valley View closed. He continued that they had to make this a full year and figure out how to make it palatable to the residents, workers and taxpayers. He further stated that all the plans were well thought out, and he was comfortable after speaking with CSEA that they were going to work with the Legislature to make the whole operation work. He urged his colleagues to vote for one of the proposals. He continued that he would vote for all of them.

Legislator Anagnostakis questioned what would happen if people voted for multiple proposals and multiple proposals passed.

Legislative Counsel Reed said that could happen, but then they had to vote on the revisions to the budget, so they would have to decide which one they wanted as only one proposal could be brought forward to the County Executive.

Legislators Eachus thanked Mike Anagnostakis for his proposal. He spoke about the line item budget he had prepared which took weeks, so he knew a lot of time had been put into it. REGULAR SESSION - Monday, November 14, 2011 393

He also wanted to commend Dan Castricone and Dan Depew for their efforts. He stated that he wanted to continue funding for twelve months to follow recommendations in the report. He continued that it wasn’t Mr. Amo who brought this emergency situation to them; it was the budget process. He asked that they pass one of the proposals to give Valley View the opportunity to show their “gold” beyond what they’ve already shown and relax the residents.

Legislator Pahucki stated that he had heard some of his colleagues say that there was no way that they were going to be sure that any of this was going to happen. He continued that was the way budgets were - unforeseen circumstances happened and they adjusted as they went through. He thanked Mr. Anagnostakis for the hard work he had done and stated he would support his plan. He continued that this wasn’t about politics; it was on the back of people who were in need; they had to get twelve month’s funding with the least pain to the taxpayers. He continued that they were talking about quality of life and quality of care. He spoke about the services the County provided to its residents where there was no revenue coming back to the County such as County roads. He further stated that he would support this plan as it was well thought out.

The vote resulted as follows:

Ayes: Berkman, Anagnostakis, Burger, Castricone, Donnery, Eachus, Hines, Kemnitz, Paduch, Pahucki

Noes: Bonacic, Amo, Benton, Berardinelli, Bonelli, Brescia, Buckbee, Depew, Petro, Simmons, Pillmeier

Ayes 10; Noes 11; Absent 0; DEFEATED.

Mr. Castricone spoke in regard to his proposal stating that they were looking at IGT money of $4.7 million, appropriated surplus of $3.6 million, $1 million in additional County sales tax and an austerity adjustment of $2 million which he hoped would come from cost savings and negotiations. In the long run, this would take care of the residents of Valley View. This was for a total of $11.3 million.

Mr. Berardinelli moved Mr. Castricone’s proposal.

Seconded by Mr. Hines.

Legislator Depew mentioned a speaker that had asked if Legislators would be willing to take a cut. He wanted them to know that the Legislature had taken a freeze in the first year of this term. He spoke about the fact that he had taken a 27.5% pay cut this year and that there were no deliberations. He took the cut and kept working every day. He continued that everyone needed to be in this together. He wanted to see Valley View funded for twelve months, and he didn’t want to see it closed. He felt that Valley View needed to remain a regional infrastructure for Orange County. He stated his concern with Mr. Castricone’s proposal was that he didn’t think $2 million would get them there. He felt it would take more, and he couldn’t support the proposal, but he thanked Mr. Castricone and everyone who was working on this today.

Legislator Berkman said everyone could see that government was about compromise, and he thought Mr. Castricone had come up with a very reasonable compromise. He felt that much of the Democratic Caucus’ proposal was integrated into it and also elements from Mr. Anagnostakis’ and Mr. Depew’s proposals. He continued that they had a duty to get the job done. It wasn’t everything he was asking for, but it was a reasonable alternative, and he appreciated it and urged everyone to adopt it. 394 REGULAR SESSION - Monday, November 14, 2011

Legislator Bonacic confirmed with Budget Analyst Colleen Grogan that the proposals included IGT money that was not guaranteed.

Legislator Donnery reminded everyone that this had come up in a committee, and they had asked Social Services Commissioner David Jolly about IGT money, and they didn’t get a response that IGT money was gone. She asked that they all remember this when voting - they have not been told by Albany that the IGT money was gone.

Legislator Berardinelli stated that the only problem when they were talking about the IGT money or other funding streams was that they were proposed; they were not funds that you held in your hand or had in your account. It was an estimate of what might be available, and he didn’t put much faith in the Federal or State governments coming up with dollars and cents. He felt that if they went on the premise that the money was going to come; they were doing an injustice to the process they were involved in which was to pass a budget. He continued that counting on IGT funds was not the way they should be doing this.

The vote resulted as follows:

Ayes: Berkman, Anagnostakis, Burger, Castricone, Donnery, Eachus, Hines, Kemnitz, Paduch, Pahucki

Noes: Bonacic, Amo, Benton, Berardinelli, Bonelli, Brescia, Buckbee, Depew, Petro, Simmons, Pillmeier

Ayes 10; Noes 11; Absent 0; DEFEATED.

Legislator Berkman requested a five minute recess at 7:40 p.m. which was granted by Chairman Pillmeier.

R E C E S S

The Legislature reconvened at 7:55 p.m.

Legislator Depew read his amendment to the Legislature:

“Addressing the rising costs at Valley View; this issue cannot be pushed off for another day or another Legislature; and

WHEREAS, with all this in mind, the Legislature wishes to establish a designated fund to cover the costs to implement the CGR Report.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT

RESOLVED, that the Legislature will continue to address the financial viability of owning and operating Valley View requesting the County Executive to continue discussions with CSEA union representatives for concessions; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Legislature hereby establishes a designated $3 million within the General Fund for the CGR Report implementation at Valley View; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the use of the designated fund may include funding the operation expenses beyond June 30, 2012 for the purpose of accommodating the future plan for Valley View as so adopted by this Legislature. However, if this Legislature decides to use such money for continued operations, then such money must be matched with demonstrated REGULAR SESSION - Monday, November 14, 2011 395 cost savings from personnel expenses.”

Legislator Depew stated that in addition to this, they would put $3 million on the anticipated revenue line for IGT money. He continued that in summary this was $3 million from the County taxpayers to fund Valley View for an additional six months bringing it to twelve months, supplementing that with $3 million of surplus; another $3 million in anticipated IGT funds and a further $3 million request of the people who work there to make sure they can get it to twelve months and keep it open for the residents of Orange County.

Legislature Petro moved to consider Mr. Depew’s amendment.

Seconded by Mr. Hines.

Legislator Berkman stated there was a lot about Mr. Depew’s amendment that he felt uncomfortable about; for instance, what if the $3 million was not met, but he didn’t want to belabor the point, because they had to get the job done. He did appreciate the fact that if this passed, they would have a twelve-month, full-funded year which was their main objective - to protect the public interest.

Legislator Anagnostakis thanked Mr. Depew for what he put forward but admitted he didn’t understand it all. He stated that hopefully it would fund Valley View for the full year if the needed contributions or givebacks were made. He stated he would support the amendment.

Legislator Benton asked how they were funding for the full year when they were $2.3 million short from any of the other proposals.

Legislator Depew replied that it had been stated in many of the projected plans that the goal was to keep Valley View open as long as possible. He continued that IGT money in many of the proposals that had been voted on today was estimated to come in higher than $3 million. In Mr. Berkman’s proposal it was $5.7 million; Mr. Castricone’s was $4.7 million, which meant there was already a $2 million disparity in potential revenue coming from IGT. He believed that the Legislature was committed to the twelve months, and if they worked with the employees, as they have promised to do. He continued that he had met with CSEA leaders, and he felt they would come to the table, and with revenues coming in, they would be able to fulfill their needs.

Further discussion followed between Legislators Benton and Depew regarding IGT funding and the fact that Mr. Anagnostakis’ proposal outlined areas for cost saving.

Legislator Depew stated they were told there was a $19 million deficit, and if the County Executive’s budget funded Valley View for $10.5 million and they added $9 million; they would be at $19.5 million.

Legislator Amo questioned whether Mr. Depew’s proposal had a commitment for twelve months or whether it was the assumption that if the money was there, they would continue to fund it.

Legislator Depew replied that other proposals were anticipating a collaborative bargaining process between the workers and the administration. He continued that it was the Legislature’s responsibility to come up with a percentage of the obligation, and everyone as a team collectively to come up with the full figure. He continued that they would get to twelve months if the employees did what was being recommended. 396 REGULAR SESSION - Monday, November 14, 2011

Further discussion followed with Legislators Amo and Depew regarding all the revenue streams that would have to come in to accomplish the twelve months.

Legislator Depew stated that he felt there was not one Legislator who would want to raise County taxation to fund Valley View for the full year, so funding would have to come from surplus or concessions.

Legislator Simmons thanked the four Legislators that prepared the proposals. He felt everyone should have a stake in the game and felt that six months wasn’t long enough, and they needed to keep Valley View open for the patients.

Legislator Pahucki spoke about how the Legislature had tried to make changes years ago, but it didn’t cost what it does now. He continued that they had substantial stimulus and IGT money. He stated he would support Mr. Depew’s plan, because it gave them twelve months. He hoped that the proposed savings would be achieved. He couldn’t understand why it took so long to get information on figures and policy from the facility for the Health and Mental Health Committee. He further stated he would support the plan even though he didn’t like it.

Legislator Petro stated Mr. Anagnostakis’ plan had a lot of information in it for cost savings other than the givebacks, and he felt it should be incorporated into Mr. Depew’s plan.

Legislator Donnery felt they would all be pleasantly surprised, because she didn’t believe

The vote resulted as follows:

Ayes: Bonacic, Berkman, Anagnostakis, Berardinelli, Bonelli, Brescia, Buckbee, Burger, Castricone, Depew, Donnery, Eachus, Hines, Kemnitz, Paduch, Pahucki, Petro, Simmons, Pillmeier

Noes: Amo, Benton

Ayes 19; Noes 2; Absent 0; ADOPTED.

Legislator Anagnostakis stated that he was concerned about the resolution revising the proposed budget, because they had to have the correct line items to go in the correct place.

Chairman Pillmeier replied that this would be taken care of.

Gather data, inventory GHG gas emissions, and establish baselines for local government operations and community sectors. Develop quantifiable interim GHG emission targets consistent with emission reduction goals and propose a schedule and financing strategy to meet them. Encourage stakeholder and public input and develop an action plan. Report emissions to The Climate Registry (TCR), which has developed a standardized method for reporting emissions inventories; use ICLEI and TCR’s tools, or similar tools, to track and evaluate progress.

3. Decrease Energy Demand for Local Government Operations

Adopt a goal of reducing electricity use by 15 percent from projected levels no later than 2015.

Existing Public Facilities. Building on the completed U.S. Department of Energy block grant work, complete an inventory of current building electricity usage and identify additional 402 REGULAR SESSION - Thursday, December 1, 2011 opportunities for conservation and efficiency retrofits. Obtain professional energy assessments for facilities not already completed under the Department of Energy block grant or similar work. Consider actions such as purchasing energy efficient equipment and appliances, such as ENERGY STAR®; improving lighting, heating, andcooling efficiency; setting thermostats for maximum energy conservation; decreasing plug load from office equipment; and increasing pump efficiency in water and wastewater systems.

New Public Buildings. Work to achieve at least minimum U.S. Green Building Council Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standards (LEED Silver) or comparable standards for all new County government buildings.

Infrastructure. Incorporate energy efficient technologies and operations and maintenance practices into municipal street lighting, traffic signals, and water and wastewater treatment facilities.

Vehicle Fleet and Commuting. Improve the average fuel efficiency of local government fleet vehicles. Discourage vehicle idling and encourage bicycling, car-pooling and public transit for employees. Consider reducing the number of vehicles; converting fleet vehicles to sustainable alternative fuels; and using electric vehicles where possible.

4. Encourage Renewable Energy for Local Government Operations

Supply as much of the local government’s power, heat and hot water needs as possible from solar, wind, and small hydro through purchase or direct generation.

5. Realize Benefits of Recycling and Other Climate Smart Solid Waste Management Practices

Expand the “reduce, reuse and recycle” approach to waste management in local government operations and in the whole community. Reduce the amount of solid waste generated— promote backyard composting, implement volume-based pricing and educate residents on how to prevent waste. Promote reuse by organizing community-wide yard sales, and providing a space for drop-off or trade of reusable goods. Provide recycling receptacles in local government buildings and outdoor spaces, require duplex printing in government offices, compost food scraps and green waste, and adopt a comprehensive green purchasing program.

6. Promote Climate Protection Through Community Land Use Planning

Combat climate change by encouraging low-emissions development that is resilient to climatic changes. When updating land use policies, building codes or community plans, include provisions to combat climate change; reduce sprawl; preserve and protect open space, biodiversity, and water supplies; promote compact, transit-oriented, bikeable and walkable communities; promote infill development; minimize new development in floodplains; maintain or establish healthy community forests; and promote best forest management practices and encourage tree planting, especially along waterways toincrease shading and to absorb carbon dioxide.

7. Plan for Adaptation to Unavoidable Climate Change

Evaluate risks from unavoidable climate change, set adaptation goals and plan for adaptation. Identify climate change impacts (such as flooding, drought, and extremetemperatures) that could affect the community. Identify areas such as water supply andsewer infrastructure that may be at risk due to sea-level rise and future changes inclimate. Factor risks into long-term investments and decision-making. Execute climate change adaptation and preparedness measures REGULAR SESSION - Thursday, December 1, 2011 403 through local government planning, development and operations, giving priority to the highest risk areas.

8. Support a Green Innovation Economy

Identify opportunities to incorporate climate protection, sustainability and environmental goods and service industries into economic development plans. Encourage workforce development training and school curricula that support the emerging green collar jobsector, including renewable energy and energy efficiency, as well as climate smart solid waste management practices. Procure climate smart goods and services for local government operations and support modernizing of local and national electricity grids.

9. Inform and Inspire the Public

Lead by example. Highlight local government commitment to reducing energy use, saving tax dollars, and adapting to changing conditions. Demonstrate the benefits of energy savings, energy efficiency, and renewable energy projects by hosting open houses; distributing fliers; holding local meetings, working with school districts, colleges, and universities to develop climate change curricula and programs; engaging faith-based ommunities in climate protection; and regularly communicating community climate protection goals and progress to constituents.

10.Commit to an Evolving Process

Acknowledge that research and policy on climate protection are constantly improving and evolving. Be willing to consider new ideas and commit to update plans and policies as needed. Compare successes, cooperate and collaborate with neighboring communities toredirect less- effective actions and amplify positive results.

RESOLUTION NO. 229 OF 2011

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE, IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ORANGE COUNTY ATTORNEY’S OFFICE, TO ACCEPT AND APPROPRIATE FUNDS FROM THE NEW YORK STATE OFFICE OF INDIGENT LEGAL SERVICES, PURSUANT TO SECTION 4.09 OF THE ORANGE COUNTY CHARTER.

WHEREAS, the New York State Office of Indigent Legal Services has offered funds in the amount of $97,060.00 to be used for the purchase and implementation of an electronic voucher program for 18-B Panel Attorneys, summer interns for the Legal Aid Society, and for CLE training for 18-B Panel and Legal Aid Society Attorneys; and

WHEREAS, this Legislature does wish to accept said funds for the County Attorney’s Office for the Legal Aid Society as indicated above.

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby

RESOLVED, as follows:

1. That the County Executive, in conjunction with the Orange County Attorney, be and hereby is authorized to accept funds from the New York State Office of Indigent Legal Services in the amount of $97,060.00 as indicated above.

2. That the 2012 budget for the Orange County Attorney’s Office is hereby amended and supplemented as shown below, and the Commissioner of Finance, together with the Director of Budget, be and hereby is authorized to make such amendment and supplementation forthwith.

Revenue: 1010 142001 430251 Indigent Legal Services Fund $97,060.00 406 REGULAR SESSION - Thursday, December 1, 2011

Expenses: 1010 142001 571820 Consultant Services (Includes purchase of Hardware-Server) $78,000.00 1010 142001 576750 Special Travel-Vendor Payments Non- County Employees (CLE Training) $10,000.00 1010 142001 576900 Legal Aid Society (Summer Internship Program) $ 9,060.00

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Hines pointed out to the other Legislators that there is a portion of this resolution that he does not like; he does like that they are going to go to the voucher system because it is really going to help but he referred to the $10,000.00 Special Travel Vendor Payments Non- County Employees. He stated that CLE (Continuing Legal Education) is money that is set up for lawyers because they are required to have CLE as part of their license to practice in the State of New York. He continued that the State has indicated that the County has $97,000.00 as a share of that money and the County writes the grant to give $10,000.00 to the 18-b lawyers, some of whom they know are not necessarily treating the County fairly or giving them the “biggest bang for their buck” which is the reason why Legislator Brescia, Chairman of the Rules and Intergovernmental Relations Committee, is spearheading the potential for a Legal Aid II. The resolution is flawed and he did not sponsor it and asked that his name be removed; however, he will support it only because the committee advised him if they tried to change the $10,000.00 they would lose the entire $97,000.00. It was ill thought out and they need to fix that. In the future when they are told by the State that they have money for them, they should use it in the best interest of the taxpayers and not in the best interest of those people that are not providing good service.

Mr. Depew stated that many times the Legislature accepts grants that have already been applied for and the money accepted in those grants has been previously laid out without any input from the Legislature and Mr. Hines brought up a good point, not just in this case, but in other cases whether it be the Planning Department creating a grant application that sometimes can have a built-in unintended bias. He asked Mrs. Reed, Legislative Counsel, if going forward it might be prudent to have some type of review before the grant applications are put together to prevent this type of oversight noting that Mr. Hines makes a very good point, and is that possible, legally.

Mrs. Reed said she supposes that they could review each grant application that the County considers applying for and whether or not to go forward with the application process. Some of those applications do come to them beforehand. Typically, it’s in the Corrections and some of the federal application processes that they request a resolution where there are matching County funds to apply to make that the matching grant funds. She was not sure how many grants that they apply for each year and she’s not sure if it’s feasible that they go through each one. Mrs. Reed continued that it is a good idea and it is something that they had looked towards doing in the past; however, she is not sure just how practical it is.

RESOLUTION NO. 230 OF 2011

RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE 2012 CAPITAL PROGRAM, PURSUANT TO THE ORANGE COUNTY CHARTER SECTION 4.07.

WHEREAS, the Orange County Charter provides for the adoption of the Capital Program therefor by the Legislature no later than the fifteenth day of December; and

WHEREAS, the County Executive has submitted to this Legislature a proposed Capital Program; and

WHEREAS, this Legislature now deems it to be in the public interest to adopt same.

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby

RESOLVED, that said 2012 Capital Program be and the same hereby is adopted, as provided by Section 4.07 of the Orange County Charter.

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Berardinelli said one of the things that should be mentioned regarding the Capital Plan is that these items are in the plan and as they go through the five-year plan they can make additions and corrections to the plan. He is in support of this resolution.

Mr. Depew stated that one of earlier speakers mentioned some of the capital projects and concerns and he wanted to correct some of the information that was presented to the Legislature. In reference to the airport, the speaker said if they added up all of the projects that the Legislature has currently approved and all of the projects that they are anticipating approving, they are looking at a tremendous amount of money, more than any other area. He continued that it’s important for people to realize that when it comes to the airport, 95% of the funding comes from the federal government through a mandate to improve safety or infrastructure, so it may seem like a large number but the federal government is the “lion’s share” of the financial support behind that and the director behind which way they go and why. Also, there was another project that was mentioned; the senior kitchen. He pointed out that they are just looking forward at ways the County can improve its operation and to have a vision going forward. He does not feel that it’s appropriate to be extremely critical of this document when it comes to a project like that because there would certainly be a planning process that would occur before anything was approved. The last comment that was made was more of a question to the Legislature; as to whether or not the Capital Plan commits the Legislature to doing those projects and the answer is clearly, “not.” The Legislature votes on the concept but the review and the specific elements of each project would be reviewed at a later time. He continued that it is important for the taxpayers of Orange County to understand that process and not be misleading in anyway.

Chairman Pillmeier expressed his appreciation to Mr. Depew for his comments and stated that he would like to focus on the kitchen segment of the Capital Plan which has been “kicked around” for quite a few years. He said that there will be some exciting news coming out very shortly from the County about a senior kitchen site that the taxpayers and Legislators of Orange County will be very excited about. 408 REGULAR SESSION - Thursday, December 1, 2011

Mr. Berkman acknowledged that there have been some improvements in the process and Mr. Depew has made some insightful comments about the procedure and how this is just a priority list established by the committee and they are not bound by it; they can fund different projects even if they are not on the capital committee or go in a different order so it is more of an advisory document. He stated that his complaint with the capital program is the way it is constituted, it is done by different committee chairpersons, so the party that has the large majority would have more influence of what would be listed on this priority wish list. He would rather create a system that was more fluid and open and work together to make even more improvements in future years. He mentioned for that reason and the reason that Mrs. Kemnitz brought to their attention about the lack of specificity over the $15 million allocation for the building, whether it’s a new building or the old building, he would like to have a clearer message as to what they are voting on rather than put his vote in favor of that as a priority. Mr. Berkman acknowledged the earlier speaker noting that he makes a good point and that is why he will not be supporting this resolution.

Chairman Pillmeier thanked Mr. Berkman for his comments but wanted to be sure that he understood that as far as impartiality and participating in the Capital Plan meetings, representation from all parties has been there under his leadership. He noted the comments on the $15 million for a new building and stated that perhaps “new” should not be in there but that was put in long before all of these discussions took place about the storm, Valley View, etc. The government building has been talked about for a couple of years. Nothing is in stone, it’s there for planning and his opinion is that the Legislators should support it.

Mr. Benton said to Mr. Berkman that he was surprised that he brought partisanship into this because the Republican caucus did not complain when Mrs. Donnery was Chairwoman and Mr. Berkman chaired the Physical Services Committee and they were not invited to any Capital Committee meetings; however, he and Mr. Pillmeier have invited people to meetings this year. He stated that the process is a little more open and he had no problem with the committee inviting Mr. Berkman at all and he does hope that it continues but he does not feel that he should make partisan statements like that.

RESOLUTION NO. 266 OF 2011

RESOLUTION MAKING A SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION TO THE 2011 ORANGE COUNTY BUDGET FOR THE ORANGE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS, PURSUANT TO SECTION 4.09 OF THE ORANGE COUNTY CHARTER. REGULAR SESSION - Thursday, December 1, 2011 453

WHEREAS, this Legislature does wish to provide funds to the Orange County Department of Public Works-Airport Division in the amount of $25,000.00 for building lighting replacement and upgrades. This Project has been approved under the 2011 Capital Plan as Capital Project No. 17 and said funds will come from the Airport fund balance. A Capital Project needs to be set up.

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby

RESOLVED, that the 2011 Budget for the Orange County Department of Public Works is hereby supplemented as indicated below for airport building lighting replacement and upgrades. This is Capital Project No. 17 in the 2011 Capital Plan and funds will come from the Orange County Airport fund balance, and it is further

RESOLVED, that the Commissioner of Finance is hereby authorized to make such modifications forthwith.

Revenue: 1400 561001 415961 Appropriated Surplus $25,000.00 Expense: 1400 561001 685350 To 110-Capital Fund $25,000.00 Revenue: 1100 599701 450311 Interfund Transfer In $25,000.00

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Eachus asked if in this upgrade of lighting, they looked to see if there will be any alternative energy sources attached with that because they are doing that at Stewart Airport, as well as, many other places.

Mr. Hines pointed out that they had a grant to take care of energy efficiency, and as a County, the decision was made that they did not need any of that money other than what they used and they sent it back to the towns and villages, so they could have used that money for the airport costing the County only $12,500.00. He stated that this is an example of poor management; now it is going to cost the County $25,000.00 instead of $12,500.00 had they done what they should have done with that energy grant. He will not be supporting this resolution.

Mr. Simmons stated that he agrees with Mr. Hines and he will also not be supporting this resolution.

Mr. Depew commented that the energy grant that Mr. Hines was referring to was addressed by the Legislature and they made the decision that any monies that were not used by the municipalities would come back to the County, and those monies would go to potentially fund projects such as this one, so he is not sure that it is completely ruled out at this point.

Mr. Benton agreed that it might not seem like it is the right thing to do at the moment but at the time they granted those villages the hundreds of thousands of dollars for energy efficiency projects, this was not on the radar screen, it just came up but it is a good, energy saving idea with monthly savings of nearly $700.00 in energy costs. If they had not given the money to the towns and villages this year, most of it could have been turned back and they would have saved $25,000.00; however, he is sure that the villages and towns are most appreciative of the money that they received so there should not be a lot of criticism regarding this.

Mr. Castricone mentioned that as they went through the grant process to send the monies back to the municipalities, the local municipalities did not have to dollar match the money, so the residents of Orange County all got their monies’ worth from a grant that did not cost the 454 REGULAR SESSION - Thursday, December 1, 2011 municipalities anything to upgrade. There were a lot of great projects that were done and he was appreciative that they were able to send the money back. He stated that he was also satisfied that, as it went through the Ways and Means Committee, the timetable for the return on their investment based on their expected savings of $700.00 a month; five or six years to turn this investment around. He is supporting this resolution.

Chairman Pillmeier stated that Mr. Castricone made a good point; the monies that they gave did not have to be matched by the municipalities but whatever Orange County did, they had to match dollar for dollar. He added that the lights are antiquated and very difficult to get parts for so they have to look at this as their home or business; the building may be twenty or thirty years old and they cannot get replacements so they would have to buy new, they would have to upgrade.

Mr. Simmons agreed with what his colleagues have said; however, when he asked this question at Physical Services he did not like the answer that was given which was that it was not eligible, so it does show a lack of planning but he fully expects this resolution to pass, which is not the issue for him. Sometimes they need to send a message which lets people know that there is a better way of doing things.

Mr. Anagnostakis commented that he was not quite satisfied at that committee meeting about the potential savings and the payback because, he believes, that they were told it was seven hangars, internal lighting and when he reviewed the full budget for the electricity at the airport it just didn’t make sense that they would be saving $700.00 a month, on just that portion would be almost 100% savings. It seems to him they are just turning all the lights off.

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby

Seconded by Ms. Bonacic.

Mr. Eachus commented that this was an issue which was discussed in the Health and Mental Health Committee meeting, as well as the Ways and Means Committee meeting, and in both cases it was a split vote. There were a variety of reasons why they would vote “yes” and a variety of reasons why they would vote “no,” but what they have discovered since the Health and Mental Health Committee meeting, is that this is a complete waste of money. It is $50,000.00 that they are just throwing out there that is totally unnecessary. He believes that all of his colleagues have received a very good RFP which can be duplicated for their purposes and, therefore, they do not necessarily need to spend this money. His opinion is that the impetus for this comes from the County Executive; he has clearly stated his position. The County Executive can do this without the Legislature and he can it on “his own dime,” the Legislature does not have to put this money forward; he can make that decision and do it himself. Mr. Eachus stated that beside the fact that this is a form of torture to the residents and employees of Valley View, he does not want to waste this money and he will not support this resolution.

Mr. Amo reiterated what Mr. Eachus said; this did pass both the Health and Mental Health Committee and the Ways and Means Committee and reminded the Legislators that this was a path that they set out on when they had to look at the CGR Report. In that report they commissioned to look at how they were going to handle Valley View and their two primary recommendations were to look at ways to save money, which they are doing and have done and the second recommendation was to put out an RFP to explore the possibility of finding a buyer for either the entire facility or the beds or some combination. This resolution is 462 REGULAR SESSION - Thursday, December 1, 2011 consistent with their approach to implement the CGR Report which the Legislature paid for, so it is not an attempt, in his opinion, by the County Executive or anybody to “end run” anything, this is a process that they are trying to complete.

Mr. Anagnostakis commented that he certainly does not find any fault with any of the Legislators that want to go down a dual path and want to vote for this RFP; some of them wanted to go down the other path and fought very hard to get full year funding so they could explore the potential cost savings. They thought it could be done and they thought it could be done without any additional County taxation and this body voted on a plan to accomplish that and here they are, past 4:00 p.m. on December 1st and the County Executive has still not come forward to tell them what he is doing with that plan; he does have until 5:00 p.m. to make that decision but it is premature to go down this other path without knowing what he is going to do, with that parallel path that some of them fought for.

Mr. Berkman stated that this issue should be in the right sequential order; it was less than twenty-four hours after they went through the arduous effort of providing twelve month funding for Valley View. It was a hard fought battle and this Legislature made its decision and Mr. Anagnostakis is right, they are still waiting for Mr. Diana to respond. It would be more appropriate if the committee that is charged with reviewing the RFP were to meet first, sit down, organize their thoughts, do some brainstorming and figure out what they want to do with this RFP; what they want to be included, borrow from other counties as various Legislators have suggested. They need to do some work before they request $50,000.00 be available to obtain an attorney to do the work for them; they should do the work first and sit down with their own counsel and Mr. Darwin and then if they need additional help, they can deal with that then.

Mr. Buckbee addressed the potential of where this is going to end up at and noted that it is better to have more options than less options and that is what the RFP is all about.

Mrs. Kemnitz commented that she also sat in on the Health and Mental Health Committee and when she heard they were going to be hiring somebody to, in fact, put that person’s ideas down and that they would have an opportunity to then edit them, rather than meet as a focus group, as she suggested and they discussed and she thought it was going to happen, to first get their thoughts and their content together and then to have it possibly shaped by the person who had the right nomenclature to put in to such a proposal, she feels that she has been locked out of contributing content except as a “Johnny come lately,” so she will definitely not be voting for this.

Mr. Benton commented that everyone should know that when he was at the Ways and Means Committee meeting, he was the only one who said that they should just give this to Mr. Burpoe to look at when it was remarked that Mr. Castricone had received an e-mail of a similar RFP that Mrs. Kemnitz noted was done by CGR. He reiterated that this has a limit, “up to $50,000.00” and, hopefully, it will be zero. If they have to hire a consultant or someone that specializes in brokering a nursing facility to help with this RFP, that would be fine also. He will be voting in favor of this today just because it is an “up to amount” and nothing is set in stone.

Mr. Hines commented that he looks at this as a “crutch,” they have to run the issues parallel because the nursing home cannot be sold in six months, in his opinion, and he has not heard from any Legislators that they think that is possible and if that is the case, they cannot wait six months to get their facts together. That’s why it has to run parallel; they have to think about the residents and if they do not have options and if Valley View is defunded in six months, residents will be left with no place to go and that is intolerable. They have to get this going. He supported and fought for funding for the full year and this Legislature voted for funding for the full year with a vote of 19-2, which is quite a commanding decision; however, REGULAR SESSION - Thursday, December 1, 2011 463 if they do not have options to sell Valley View then the residents will have no place to go. He stated that they have to run the issues parallel to protect the residents which are the only reason why he is supporting it. He does not think that it is a vote to sell; it is a vote to get more options. If Valley View were to be sold, it would have to come back before this Legislature so this is exploring options; not selling it, it’s just another way to protect the residents.

Mrs. Donnery stated that referring to what needs to be done in the best interest of the residents and the employees, this whole process has been horrible. She continued that they were aghast when they found themselves not being funded for a year at Valley View and this move was done with the same heartlessness; maybe others agree. It was done without thought, it was done immediately, it was done to shock, the decision to do it in the timing that it has been done in does not say to her that they are concerned first for the people. She said that she does not accept the things that are being said, they could have had a little bit of time for a breather and it did not have to happen in the middle of the holiday season; we should all be ashamed of ourselves.

Mr. Eachus stated to the Legislators that he actually has a list of individuals, which he will not share at this meeting, who in the last two weeks have called Valley View and were actually told that if they are planning to place someone in Valley View for more than a year, “don’t bother.” To think that there are parallel paths, there are no parallel paths, it’s all converging, it’s coming to a crash and the Legislators are not going to be able to see what can really happen at Valley View because they are already losing potential residents and he is sure they are losing potential employees because of what they have said already.

Mr. Castricone stated that as one of the Legislators who voted for three out of the four plans to fund Valley View for the year and put his own ideas forward, it is important that they do what they need to do in order to take care of those three stakeholders; the residents of Valley View, the employees of Valley View and the taxpayers of the County. He added that to move forward with this RFP is the only responsible thing to ensure that this facility does not close. They need to have this in their pocket, ready to go. He feels strongly about moving forward with this and even more so since Mrs. Kemnitz e-mailed an RFP to him that was done by CGR and he presented that to the Ways and Means Committee. In the RFP that another county had done, there were questions: What is your plan, prospective buyer, for the employees of this facility; What is your plan, prospective buyer, for the residents that are currently in the facility; What exactly is it, prospective buyer, that you want to bid on, do you want to bid on the land and the business, all of the facility, part of the facility. He felt very comfortable about the questions that were asked in the RFP that he saw and that they would be able to duplicate some of those questions and get substantive answers from people that might be interested as they go forward with the process. He will be supporting this resolution and suggested that the other Legislators do the same.

Mr. Pahucki said he feels as if he is in the twilight zone looking at Valley View. The Chairman of the Health and Mental Health Committee read aloud quotes from CGR during the presentation at the Ways and Means Committee but, they were piecemeal and they venerate the words in CGR but they do not finish the paragraph. They start a sentence, what is convenient for the closure of Valley View, but they do not read the rest of the sentence “on the other hand.” He referred to page 36, no one has quoted page 36, but he will because it brings up the reason why they are losing so much money, which is OAS. He stated that they question why they have not, while they are losing money with OAS, looked to other operators and, “ given the fact that there are experienced Nursing Home Administrators currently available on the market, given other recent facility closings, who may be available at lower salary levels than previously assumed.” He continued that everyone sits and sings praise and glory to OAS, and yet, they are losing money, they are going down the tubes with Valley View under the 464 REGULAR SESSION - Thursday, December 1, 2011 control of this contract agency. OAS has not provided the contractual obligations that they had agreed to and they have never asked for that and when they have asked, they do not get it. The County Executive has not demanded that they fulfill their contractual obligations under Appendix C, they have not seen that. He continued that it is generally acknowledged, including to his credit, by the Administrator, that various purchases and contract arrangements made by Valley View have involved and benefited vendors and agents with connections, often financial, to the Administrator and/or OAS. Mr. Pahucki stated that they have a blatant conflict of interest down there. They have made no attempts to bring Valley View in under control to show less loss; potential profit has been denied. He sees this resolution as an absolute height of arrogance on the part of this administration. The “Machiavellian” attitude that has been displayed by the County Executive and by the Health and Mental Health Committee Chairman, is just sell, no matter what it takes. He agrees with Mr. Eachus, they are not on parallel paths, they are on a pointed path to unload Valley View but has anybody asked why. When they lose money in other departments they bring in someone such as Mr. Burpoe, they streamline those processes and look for ways to save but there has been no attempt here, none whatsoever. He voted against the CGR contract, the resolution hiring them because the RFP did not specify we want to see a forensic financial audit and a process audit; are they doing everything at Valley View that they should be doing, are they being the best that they can be. It has never been determined. He reiterated what he has stated before, if they are going to spend $50,000.00 for a consultant why don’t they put it into a consultant that is going to say that they are going to go in there and look to see if they are presenting their cost to the State, are they getting the money that they deserve back from the State, are they the best that they can be. No, they are not the best that they can be and the way that they are headed now, it’s a dismal failure on every one of the Legislators if they do not do something to make Valley View less of a burden on the taxpayer. Just to sell it means that they are relinquishing their duties and responsibilities to the taxpayers, the residents and employees of Valley View and he will not support this resolution.

Mr. Depew commented that there is more than one parallel track right now and his biggest fear is that this Legislature, with inaction, is on a parallel track with bankruptcy. They have met with their auditors, they have reviewed the County’s financial state and he would like to say they’re strong but if they continue to use the amount of surplus that they have been using over the past few years to balance the budget, it will only be within one or two years that that option will no longer be available. He continued that Mr. Anagnostakis made the point that here it is December 1st and they do not know whether the County Executive is going to veto the budget; that has nothing to do with this decision because whether he does or doesn’t, they have to make a decision about the future of Valley View; they have to make a decision about how they are going to move going forward and what they are going to do to protect the financial viability of this County which they know is potentially in jeopardy. He would like to see Valley View county-owned, county-run forever because they know that right now they have a quality of care that is unsurpassable for the people that are there but in all reality that is probably not an option that they can have with the financial situation that they County is in, they are going to have to make some changes. As a secondary option he would like to see the facility available for County residents to be able to use. More people are saying keep it open, more than they say keep it county-owned; it’s close to my home, it’s close to my family and if they close it they will not have an opportunity to go there, it will not be a facility in their region that they can utilize. Keeping it open should be their focus, which is why the parallel path must be followed by this Legislature right now. He agrees that management has some issues at Valley View; he has been public about that. Someone recently asked him: What are your Department of Health reviews at Valley View like right now? Stellar. What are the reviews of patient care like at Valley View right now? Stellar. What is the facility’s condition right now? Stellar. They told him that they should fire the person that is managing it. Mr. Depew commented that he does not agree with every aspect of what they say, but they made a good solid point; there must be more to it. This is not just an issue in Orange County; why REGULAR SESSION - Thursday, December 1, 2011 465 is Ulster County in this situation also, is OAS managing their facility. Why is Rockland County in this situation, is OAS managing their facility; no. It must be a systemic issue with the way that the funding sources are being used and with the way that the costs of running these facilities are having an effect regionally and, perhaps across the United States. Parallel course is the right way to go, they have to move in that direction, it is not his favorite direction to go, but it is the right thing to do at this time.

Mrs. Bonelli echoed what Mr. Depew said and one thing that has not been brought out here; yes, they can sit down and take a careful look at the way they are operating it and they have certain things that are in their control, but one major issue that is not in their control is funding as far as Medicaid is concerned, and that is being restructured and come springtime of 2012 that restructuring is going to take effect, it began in October and continues to do so. Back in 2009 she read the Berger Commission Report which was on nursing homes for New York State. That is why they are all going through this; not just Orange County because that commission has told New York State they want government out of the business of running nursing homes. So while they can control certain things, there are other things that are absolutely beyond their control and, if they do not support this particular resolution, they are being very irresponsible and they are not doing anything to keep Valley View open.

Ms. Bonacic commented that she is not going to debate whether or not she personally agrees with what the County Executive did in his budget because it is done and what they have to deal with today is what is before them today. They have all read the CGR Report and many of the Legislators have used that information in their arguments about Valley View and their points about Valley View in the last few months. Mr. Amo alluded to the fact that in the report the consultant stated that until the County decides what they want to do with Valley View, they “recommend that the County makes the decision to create an RFP designed to determine whether there are interested buyers of the facility and, if so, at what price. The County should lay out clearly, the circumstances under which it would consider selling and what protections it wishes to build into the terms of purchase and that is for possible protections for the current residents, for current employees, commitments concerning the facility and programs in the future and future admissions, expectations, etc.” She shared the fear that the majority of the Republican caucus has; the Legislature recently made the commitment to keep Valley View open beyond July 1, 2012 to explore the option, the path, the track of coming up with cost saving measures to try to keep Valley View a County-owned facility. Today, many in the Republican caucus would find it very irresponsible that they do not start the process of privatization, just the process of putting it out there, and this is where the fear comes in because if that is not a viable option down the road, Valley View could close. She stated that she appreciates all of the comments from the Legislators and she does not care where they are on the issue, she respects them all but many of her caucus members do not want to ignore the fact that they shouldn’t start this option. A vote today for this RFP, up to $50,000.00 which may not even be touched as Mr. Benton stated earlier, is the responsible thing to do and the other concern that no one is addressing publicly is the escalating costs that the County has that are beyond their control. Those costs are the New York State Pension Fund contributions, the health insurance expenses, the retiree insurance costs, as well as the decline in reimbursement rates. She elaborated on what Mr. Depew and Mrs. Bonelli alluded to earlier, that there was a day when sixty counties ran nursing homes and currently there are only thirty-five and at least ten of them are looking at closing or privatizing their facility, so Orange County is not unique in what they are talking about today. She asked that they support this resolution today because she believes that this is not a vote to privatize or sell Valley View but a vote to put the option out there, down the road, in case closure becomes the only option, which none of them wants.

RESOLUTION NO. 273 OF 2011

RESOLUTION DESIGNATING THE ORANGE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT AS THE STATE TOURISM PROMOTION AGENCY OF ORANGE COUNTY, PURSUANT TO SECTION 4.09 OF THE ORANGE COUNTY CHARTER.

WHEREAS, this Legislature has heretofore designated the Orange County Department of Planning and Development as the Tourism Promotion Agency of Orange County; and

WHEREAS, a prerequisite for Orange County’s participation in New York State 2011- 2012 Tourism Matching Funds Program is the designation of the Department of Planning and Development as the County’s “Tourism Promotion Agency.”

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby

RESOLVED, that the Orange County Department of Planning and Development shall continue to be charged with the duty of promoting tourism in Orange County and designated as Orange County’s “Tourism Promotion Agency,” and shall authorize the Tourism Department to administer funding.

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Berkman stated that he is happy to join Mr. Simmons as a sponsor on this resolution because Port Jervis has a large part of its economy linked to tourism. He recently read an article which noted if an individual from outside the County spends one night here, they increase their spending by four-fold so every dollar they spend towards tourism development, is good for economic development. He is aware that the Tourism Agency is under the umbrella of the Planning Department and that is probably an efficient way to administer this. Perhaps they should consider shifting Community Development over to the Planning Department as well.

RESOLUTION NO. 275 OF 2011

RESOLUTION OPPOSING THE PROPOSED CLOSING OF UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE’S MID-HUDSON PROCESSING AND DISTRIBUTION CENTER IN NEWBURGH, NY.

WHEREAS, the United States Postal Service (USPS) announced in September 2011 that it would commence an area mail processing (AMP) study of the Mid-Hudson Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC), located in the County of Orange, in the Town of Newburgh, New York; and

WHEREAS, the AMP study examined the possible consolidation of current mail sorting and distribution operations at the Mid-Hudson P&DC with the USPS facility in Albany, which would lead to significant downsizing or more likely, eventual closure of the Mid-Hudson P&DC facility; and REGULAR SESSION - Thursday, December 1, 2011 469

WHEREAS, the Mid-Hudson P&DC is a significant employer in Orange County and the Mid-Hudson region with nearly 400 full time employees, as well as an important contributor to the Orange County economy and that of the Mid-Hudson region; and

WHEREAS, the Mid-Hudson P&DC is ideally located to serve the USPS processing and distribution needs due to its proximity to I-84/I-87 and Stewart International Airport; and

WHEREAS, the USPS reported its recommendation to consolidate the Mid-Hudson P&DC with the Albany P&DC on November 16th, projecting that 234 positions would be eliminated, and that it would accept public comment until December 16th; and

WHEREAS, the proposed consolidation and reduction in force would adversely impact Orange County families, area businesses, and communities surrounding the P&DC; and

WHEREAS, the proposed consolidation could reduce USPS service levels for mail delivery in Orange County and throughout the Mid-Hudson region; and

WHEREAS, the Mid-Hudson P&DC generally earns high rankings according to USPS standards and has the capacity to take on more mail and provide enhanced service to Orange County communities rather than lose jobs and negatively impact residents and the local economy.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Office of the Orange County Executive and the Orange County Legislature strongly oppose the closing or significant downsizing of the Mid-Hudson Processing and Distribution Center and urge the United States Postal Service to reject the recent proposal to consolidate this facility’s operations with the Albany P&DC; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a true copy of this resolution be provided to United States Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, United States Representatives Maurice Hinchey and Nan Hayworth, Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe, and USPS Westchester District Manager Joseph Lubrano, New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo, the Commissioner of Transportation, the Executive Director of the PANYNJ, the Attorney General for the State of New York, the Comptroller of the State of New York, and other elected Federal and State officials representing the Mid-Hudson/Catskill Region.

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Depew requested that when copies of this resolution are mailed, that they are mailed from the facility that they are all supporting.

Chairman Pillmeier added that it may be hand-delivered tonight.

REGULAR SESSION

Wednesday, December 14, 2011

The Legislature convened in Regular Session at 3:30 p.m. today.

The Legislature was called to order by Chairman Pillmeier with a moment of silence and the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.

On roll call, all members were present with the exception of Legislator Benton who arrived at 3:35 p.m.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION, (On file in Clerk, Legislative Office).

Ms. Bonacic moved to vote collectively on Agenda Item Nos. 7-13, seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Berkman had a question regarding Agenda Item No. 10; in caucus they had a discussion and were curious about the facts behind this resolution which is why he didn’t automatically accept that it would be included in the collective vote.

Clerk Whightsil stated that she could answer that question; if they should adopt the budget today, then the figure that would be the bottom line with the General Fund and the Social Services Fund being added together would be “plugged” into the system that is run by Real Property Tax Service Agency with the calculations being done by Information Technology. That is what generates the Tax Summaries, which then in turn, generates all the tax bills which go out to all of the residents of Orange County. It is a report that compiles all of the data from all of the towns’ budgets and the County budget also, this then provides for the raising of taxes to run Orange County government, along with the sales tax figured in also.

Mr. Berkman asked if they were given the assistance of the Executive branch in coming up with the final figures that were incorporated in this resolution because there has been some communication problems with the County Executive not making various agents, employees and commissioners available for that purpose for the Legislature’s benefit.

Clerk Whightsil replied that was resolved today.

Mr. Berkman asked if anyone in his caucus has any objections.

Mr. Eachus asked what the difference was between Clerk Whightsil’s answer to Mr. Berkman’s question and Agenda Item No. 6, which is to levy and collect the taxes and give them to Social Services, the Sewer District, etc. He is very hesitant on voting on something that they have not seen at all. He can appreciate the fact that it’s standard procedure; however, even under standard procedure he would assume or hope that they would get a copy of this resolution.

Legislative Counsel Reed responded to Mr. Eachus’ concerns. Agenda Item No. 6 provides for the raising of taxes. Technically, there are three options: 1) they override the County Executive’s veto; 2) if they do not override the veto then the budget represents the budget as proposed by the County Executive along with the Legislative Adjustments that were not vetoed by the County Executive; and 3) if they fail to adopt a budget, then by Orange County Charter and New York State Law the budget reverts to the proposed budget provided by the County Executive. The numbers for two scenarios were reviewed by the Budget Director. For 472 REGULAR SESSION - Wednesday, December 14, 2011 the override there was no change in raising County taxation because the moneys that they have applied to that budget represent federal/state IGT moneys so that does not impact County taxation. The numbers that are in Agenda Item No. 6 will be determined by the results of the vote on Agenda Item Nos. 2, 3 and 4. She pointed out that they do have those numbers here today and the Legislators will be able to review them prior to voting on them. Agenda Item No. 10 is really an administrative procedure required by state law for the Clerk of the Legislature to take those numbers and report them for the Apportionment that is done by the Budget Department along with our Real Property Tax Service Agency. They need a certification, so to speak, that these are the taxes to be raised in accordance with the budget that will be adopted today.

Chairman Pillmeier stated if there were no objections, they would vote collectively on Agenda Item Nos. 7 through 13.

RESOLUTION NO. 277 OF 2011

RESOLUTION OF THE ORANGE COUNTY LEGISLATURE PROCLAIMING JANU- ARY 15, 2012 THROUGH JANUARY 21, 2012 AS CYBER BULLY AWARENESS WEEK AND URGING THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY AND SENATE TO PASS LEGISLATION AIMED AT PRO- TECTING NEW YORK CHILDREN FROM THE EFFECTS OF CYBER BULLYING.

WHEREAS, often bullying is no longer about the strong picking on the weak in the schoolyard. The physical assault has been replaced by a 24 hour per day, seven days a week online bashing; and

WHEREAS, students are using instant messaging, e-mails, Facebook, Twitter, other social media sites, chat rooms and websites they create to humiliate a peer, and, that parents can no longer count on seeing the telltale physical signs of bullying—a black eye, bloody lip, torn clothes. But the damage done by cyber bullies is no less real, and can be infinitely more painful. Peer approval is very important to children. This means that cyber bullying can have a negative or even destructive emotional effect on victims, ranging from hurt feelings to intense anger. It can also result in significant depression and in the most severe cases has even resulted in violence and suicide; and

WHEREAS, the Orange County Legislature takes notice of the following Cyber Bullying Statistics:

42% of kids have been bullied while online. 1 in 4 have had it happen more than once.

35% of kids have been threatened online. Nearly 1 in 5 have had it happen more than once.

21% of kids have received mean or threatening e-mail or other messages.

58% of kids admit someone has said mean or hurtful things to them online. More than 4 out of 10 say it has happened more than once.

53% of kids admit having said something mean or hurtful to another person online. More than 1 in 3 have done it more than once.

58% have not told their parents or an adult about something mean or hurtful that happened to them online; and REGULAR SESSION - Wednesday, December 14, 2011 475

WHEREAS, while cyber bullying is often done by children who have increasing access to technology, it is by no means confined to children. The problem is compounded by the fact that bullies are often anonymous and never have to confront their victims. This makes it difficult to trace the source, and encourages bullies to behave more aggressively than a traditional “physical world” bully; and

WHEREAS, that cyber bullying is accomplished in many ways, including:

Flaming is a type of online fight. It is an act of sending or posting electronic messages that are deliberately hostile, insulting, mean, angry, vulgar or insulting, to one person or several, either privately or publicly to an online group.

Denigration also known as “dissing,” occurs when a person sends or publishes cruel rumors, gossip or untrue statements about a person to intentionally damage the victim’s reputation or friendships.

Bash boards are online bulletin boards where people post anything they choose. Gen- erally, the postings are mean, hateful and malicious.

Impersonation can be particularly harmful and occurs when someone pretends to be or poses as another person. This is usually accomplished by breaking into someone’s account, by stealing a password and perhaps changing it, or by maliciously using that information provided by a friend (one reason to never give a password to anyone but a trusted adult). Once the impersonator has access to the victim’s information, considerable damage can occur. By sending out emails supposedly from the victim or by posting material online, the victim’s reputation or friendships can be irreparably harmed.

Outing occurs when someone sends or publishes confidential, private, or embarrassing information, online. Private email messages or images meant for private viewing, is then forwarded to others. Trickery is when a person purposely tricks another person into divulging secrets, private information or embarrassing information, and publishes that information online.

Exclusion is an indirect method of online bullying, intentionally excluding someone from an online group or community.

Harassment is when the electronic bully repeatedly sends insulting, hurtful, rude, insulting messages.

Happy slapping is a relatively new type of bullying. This occurs when an unsuspecting victim is physically attacked, in person, as an accomplice films or take pictures of the incident. The image or video is then posted online or distributed electronically. Often the attackers will say it was only a prank or joke, hence the term “happy slapping.” Happy slapping is becoming more common, especially since many cell phones now include cameras.

Text wars or attacks are when several people gang up on the victim, sending the target hundreds of emails or text messages. Besides the emotional toll it can take on the victim, the victims’ cell phone charges can be costly.

Online polls ask readers to vote on specific questions, often very hurtful and demean- ing, such as “Who is the ugliest person in 8th grade?” or “Who do you love to hate?” 476 REGULAR SESSION - Wednesday, December 14, 2011

Sending malicious code intentionally, to damage or harm the victim’s system or to spy on the victim.

Images and videos are a rapidly growing concern. Due to the prevalence and accessibility of camera cell phones, photographs and videos of unsuspecting victims, taken in bathrooms, locker rooms or other compromising situations, are being distributed electronically. Some images are emailed to other people, while others are published on video sites such as YouTube.

Griefing involves chronically causing grief to other members of an online community, or rather, intentionally disrupting the immersion of another player in their game play.

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby

RESOLVED, that the Orange County Legislature hereby proclaims that January 15, 2012 through January 21, 2012 be known as Cyber Bully Awareness week and asks that all school districts within Orange County, NY take notice and take actions within their schools to raise awareness among students, faculty, staff and parents of the methods and effects of Cyber Bullying, and asks that the New York State Assembly, the New York State Senate, and the Governor of the State of New York pass legislation aimed at protecting New York children from the effects of Cyber Bullying; and it is further

RESOLVED, that the Clerk of the Orange County Legislature be and hereby is authorized and directed to send a certified copy of this Resolution to all school districts within Orange County requesting that they participate in educational activities on this most important issue facing our youth today and that the Clerk also forward a certified copy of this Resolution to the Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo, Governor of the State of New York and to each member of the State Senate and Assembly whose districts include all or part of Orange County so that they may be apprised hereof, and take all necessary and appropriate action to enact anti-Cyber Bullying legislation.

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Castricone thanked everybody in the Legislature for their help in the last couple of weeks as they move forward with this. They have had some great dialogue. He continued as many may know it started with an editorial in the Times Herald-Record that talked about the need for counties to step into a gap that they see in State legislation when it comes to Cyber Bullying. Many people may not realize that approximately 45% of kids have reported being Cyber Bullied and even 58% of kids who are computer active have reported participating in it. It is a widespread problem. He stated when he was a kid they could go home from school and find peace and a respite; however, today’s bullying extends to text messages once they’re on the bus and e-mails once they are home on the computer. The week that they have set aside is an anniversary week for a tragedy that occurred in here Orange County and if they pass this resolution he will do his best to make sure that every school recognizes that and talks about cyber bullying in classrooms. He realizes that some of the work that they have done so far has already spurred some discussions in classes which he is very proud of. Going forward there may be a situation where they start to think about an actual law at the County level. He asked the Legislators to support this legislation, it sends the right message and has some very useful information in it for the schools.

Mr. Brescia thanked Legislator Castricone for bringing this resolution to the Rules, Enact- ments and Intergovernmental Relations Committee yesterday and to the Public Safety and Emergency Services Committee meeting last week. There was much discussion on this issue, which is an issue that is near and dear to his heart, in the wake of the three suicides in the REGULAR SESSION - Wednesday, December 14, 2011 477

Monroe-Woodbury School District. Last week, District Attorney Phillips stated that the cyber laws out there are like the “Wild West,” they just don’t exist right now. He stated that this bring the issue to a forum and, hopefully, they can come with their own law down the road after much investigation and prevent these kind of fatalities and bullying in the future.

Mr. Hines thanked Legislator Castricone for his hard work, as they continue to try and make this a law.

Mr. Petro thanked Legislator Castricone, who has been the point person on this resolution. As a parent of two teenage boys, he thinks it is a very important piece of legislation.

The vote resulted as follows:

Ayes: Bonacic, Berkman, Amo, Anagnostakis, Benton, Berardinelli, Bonelli, Brescia, Buckbee, Burger, Castricone, Depew, Donnery, Eachus, Hines, Kemnitz, Paduch, Pahucki, Petro, Simmons, Pillmeier

WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE:

The following communication was presented to the Orange County Legislature.

COMMUNICATION:

Communication from County Executive Edward A. Diana notifying the County Legisla- ture of his veto of certain changes made to the 2012 Orange County Budget-Referred to all Legislators. On motion the same was received and ordered placed on file.

Sponsors: Hines, Castricone Co-Sponsors: Pahucki, Eachus, Berkman, Paduch, Donnery, Kemnitz, Burger

“RESOLUTION APPROVING CERTAIN CHANGES IN THE PROPOSED 2012 ORANGE COUNTY BUDGET HERETOFORE VETOED BY THE COUNTY EXECU- TIVE, PURSUANT TO SECTION 4.07(a) OF THE ORANGE COUNTY CHARTER.”

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Eachus commented that he is sure his fellow Legislators and most of the people in the audience know where he stands and could predict his vote. He is proud of that stance, as he thinks, no matter where each of the Legislators are right now, they are also proud of where they are standing too. They often have discussions on this floor but he is not so sure that they can convince other Legislators to change their votes or to make any type of convincing argument unless there is some new information that comes to the floor. Unfortunately, he does not have any new information but he will say that he did learn something new last night, which most everyone did, the first thing he learned was that when they passed this $9 million amendment to the budget for Valley View, the budget become unbalanced. He also learned that having done that in the last five years, that the budget became unbalanced then also and he found out that it is the County Executive’s job to balance the budget after the Legislature makes those amendments but a couple of weeks ago, nineteen Legislators voted to fund Valley View for the full year and that was a compromise, a great compromise but he was not happy with that, he is one who wants to keep Valley View open and in the public’s hands. Those who voted, of the nineteen, probably were not happy with that either, but they compromised and they made it. Mr. Eachus continued that since then, the only news that has come to the them 478 REGULAR SESSION - Wednesday, December 14, 2011 is news from the County Executive’s Office; first about the veto of their compromise then his Editorial Board visit. He stated that since he has not heard any refuting of it, that he did claim that it would take an “act of God” to do anything other than close Valley View on July 1, 2011 under his current budget. He stated that he appreciates that truth and honesty. The County Executive had also stated if there were the possibility that moneys could be found to keep Valley View open longer, he would, again Mr. Eachus thanked him for that honesty even at the Editorial Board. He continued that it gave him a clue as to what was really happening, it helped him to gird his thoughts about the fact that they probably do have to keep Valley View open for longer than July 1, 2011 and that there is money out there and he knows that it is going to be hard to make those decisions for everyone but they can be made and, apparently, it’s there. He asked all of the Legislators to vote to override, not to knock Eddie, not to vote with Eddie, not to knock a union or vote with a union, but if for no other reason to vote to override, simply to prove to themselves; wrong or right. Is Valley View viable and do they need that twelve months. He asked them to please consider this before they vote and vote to override.

Mr. Berkman clarified that a “yes” vote is a vote to override.

Legislative Counsel Reed replied in the affirmative.

Mr. Berkman stated that he was reviewing the County Executive Diana’s veto message and it says a whole lot and a lot of it he didn’t like and didn’t appreciate, even if they disagree. He didn’t like the tone of the message either. He briefly reviewed some of the message, one particular comment the County Executive made was with regard to the amendment which Mr. Depew brought forward, the compromise amendment which they agreed to, and for him to call it “out of balance” is a fictional view and he does not agree with that. Everyone in this Legislature knows that the money is there, it might be in a different account, but it’s there, and he believes that is an established fact. He continued that the allegation that it is “out of balance” rests on some technical interpretations or cynical technical interpretations about the budget. The comment in the message that Mr. Depew did not write that the IGT money was going to be sent to and used by Valley View, Mr. Berkman asked if anyone of the Legislators didn’t think that, it was self-evident, so he disagrees with that point of the veto message. Another point he wanted to discuss was the County Executive mentioning the irresponsibility of the Legislature if they do not go along with his view of his veto message; that one really bothered Mr. Berkman because Valley View has been open for over 100 years and every year that he has been here, they pass the budget from Valley View and at the end of the process the Legislative staff has some assistance by members of the Executive branch that come over and submit financial data, which is what they were discussing earlier with Mr. Eachus regarding Agenda Item No. 10, but this year it was different, it didn’t happen until the very last minute. He is putting that in the category of being charged with being irresponsible with disagreeing with his veto message; who is being irresponsible by changing the procedure after all these years and also the idea of springing upon the Legislature, the public and most importantly, the residents and employees at Valley View about a six month funding plan. He asked who, in the Legislature, was given prior notice about that happening; his sense is that no one was, he certainly was not. He pointed out that they tried to work together and they got a 19-2 vote to come up with a package to provide full funding for Valley View for one year in order to give an opportunity for this Legislature and others to work towards

Mr. Eachus said that he was not happy with that either, but they compromised, they made it there.

Mrs. Donnery said certainly she has had a lot of conversations, as all of them have when they go back their communities. She continued that she can be in a BJ’s store, she can be at a mall and strangers walk up to her to talk about this issue and over and over she is having the REGULAR SESSION - Wednesday, December 14, 2011 479 question asked, “what water is the County Executive drinking” and as long as they have been discussing this and as many years that she has been here, never more clearly has she seen this about power and control and the win, “my way or the highway.” It is not about people. Today she asks her colleagues to let him go up that highway by himself and they take the upper road.

Mr. Buckbee thanked Mr. Depew for his clarification on the resolution but asked about “3- 3-3.” The County government and the taxpayers have come up with $6 million that is necessary to sustain this but where does the other $3 million come from, the union, and if so, has that been secured or not and are they $3 million short.

Mr. Depew responded that every Legislator received a phone call from the representatives from the local CSEA asking them to support the override so the workers there are reasonable enough to recognize that if they are asking them to follow through with the plan that he put in place, then they recognize the responsibility that they have with that plan.

Mr. Anagnostakis said that they knew in the beginning of this process that it would be a tough process and they went through the whole budgetary process with a lot of numbers and he is not going to go through a lot of numbers but he is going to give them one number: “1831.” That is the year that the facility starting serving the residents of this County, “1831.” That is 180 years ago. Probably over 150,000 residents have been served in the facility and when you multiply that by the family members and neighbors you are probably talking over a million people. They have done an unbelievable job with compassionate service probably to people that are at the last stages of their lives. Where is the compassion on our end for this facility on its last stages of its live; potentially. They sit back and have half-year funding handed to them so their hand is forced, is that compassionate? He continued that he is going to say something here that might upset a lot of people-he’s a Republican but he is getting sick and tired of people saying where are the unions, how come they haven’t given anything back in a week when there has been no chance to negotiate at all. That’s why they want the funding. They don’t, or at least he does not, want the funding for a full year just to have it for a full year, they are supposed to work during that year and see if they can have savings to keep the facility forever. Where is the leadership from the top, where it should be. You are supposed lead by example. How about rescinding an order to have 153 managers have free health insurance, how about this body voting in to have every elected official pay and then how about sitting down with the unions and saying there is no negotiating here, you want to keep it open, everyone is paying 15% insurance on their health just like every other place in America and that is at least $6 million or $7 million per year. Where is the leadership by example, that’s the white elephant in this room, no one wants to talk about it, we are going to have funding for a full year but are we going to have leadership by example and try to really accomplish something or is it just “smoking mirrors” again. He hopes all his colleagues vote for full year funding and that they get down to action when it counts.

Mr. Pahucki stated that they talk about compromise, he knows that he didn’t say exactly how he felt about Mr. Depew’s recommendation but there is nothing perfect in this world. He agrees with his colleague to his right but of all the recommendations through CGR, the County Executive had deemed one and only one was worth investigating, only one was worth implementing and it was his decision. There is a second, a third, a fourth, there are options that were laid out in front of them to interview, to implement, to look at and see if that was the way this Legislature wanted to go. Twelve month funding, he agrees and reiterates what Mr. Anagnostakis said, it is not twelve month funding here you go and we just sit back. They have tried already, they have tried already in Personnel and Compensation and Health and Mental Health to implement one of the recommendations of the CGR Report; one committee was cancelled and one committee talked about it and suggested that they look at it next year. Six months in not ample time for them to look at the recommendations and try to work hard to do it. It was sprung upon them at the County Executive’s budget address that he made the 480 REGULAR SESSION - Wednesday, December 14, 2011 decision; well, welcome to the kingdom of Ed is not what I am going to stand for, they have twenty-one bodies, an assortment of talent and background to make policy for Orange County. He has sat through seventeen budgets and he remembers on the floor years ago, thirty, forty recommendations that were spewed out there item by item and they sent it back to the County Executive after probably twelve were accepted. They sent it back to the Budget Department and they balanced the budget with those recommendations. They took money out of this line, they put more money into that line, it happens all the time. There was no procedural error in their vote of 19 to 2, it was the way they do business; the Charter even tells them that is the way of doing business. He continued, Ladies and Gentlemen, I ask for your support in overriding the veto; 19 to 2 said something and give them an opportunity to implement some of the recommendations and some of the options that the CGR Report had suggested and for which they paid CGR $118,000.00, which is not small piece of change. He asked the Legis- lators for their support and to vote “yes” on Agenda Item No. 2.

Mr. Hines stated that he is also voting to override and he is proud to have his name on that piece of legislation as a sponsor. He continued that he is very disappointed at the veto, 19 to 2 from this Legislature means a lot, then to just get a veto and criticize this body as irresponsible, to not give them a full year. As he stated the last time, it is not palatable for the residents, it’s not palatable for the workers and it’s certainly not palatable for the taxpayers because if it is defunded in six months, the only option is closing in his mind. No one can sell a nursing home in six months it has never been done before. They can ask for an “act of God” but he does not know that they will get it. Residents will be put out, workers will lose their jobs because it takes privatization off the table and the taxpayers still have to pay for the people that are moved out of the nursing home if that is the way this Legislature goes. There is no savings, it’s just irresponsible. It’s a decision by one, there is only one person in the County that thinks it can be sold in six months and even that is speculative much like the plans have been accused of being. Speculation in the budget; the whole budget is speculation, sure it’s educated speculation, they have ideas but they don’t know that the jail revenue is going to be $6 million, they don’t know what the sales tax is going to be, if anybody was perfect in that area, they would be sitting in the federal government in the White House and not here, well at least in the future. So if it is defunded, it’s closed in six months and it’s over; please stick to that 19 to 2 and be consistent.

Mr. Amo agreed that they do expect the deliberation on the future of Valley View to be rather intense and that the opposition was going to be fierce and, in fact, both sides were going to be fierce and that’s fair because it is a very dramatic and important decision that they are going to be making regarding this budget today. Some of the concerns that he heard people speak of, given some of his experience, are that some of the facts need to be cleared up just a little bit so they do not misunderstand issues. Of the more than 600 nursing homes in New York State, approximately forty of them are now government-run so it is predominately not a government business that long term care is about. Mr. Anagnostakis made the point that there was one important number, “1831” and this is another important fact that he would like people to understand which is that he would like to give out a different number and that is “1966,” the great society program. Medicare, Medicaid was passed by the United States Congress and signed by the president. It’s at that time that every individual, based on need, would be given the opportunity to used Medicaid for their long term care and nursing home needs. That legislation further stated that one cannot deny admission to a nursing home because of your payer source. Well, someone is telling you that you cannot get into a nursing home because your Medicaid, then perhaps one needs to make a phone call to the 800 hotline number for the Health Department; maybe you need to make noise because that is not the way that it should be done. In 1966 everyone had Medicaid whether or not one were to go to Valley View or any one of the other 600 nursing homes in the state or the ten in the County; that’s the law. REGULAR SESSION - Wednesday, December 14, 2011 481

Mrs. Kemnitz stated that after hearing Mr. Amo’s comments she can only say that she was still in the vein of being very personal and very involved in what’s going on here and she wanted everyone to know that they have her total support and commitment to the residents of Orange County and, of course, she will be voting to override the veto. She also commented that the plane that she was supposed to be coming in on from Greece was just landing at JFK Airport. She and her husband were scheduled to be there for a week, it was their anniversary; however, she heard that this vote was moved up one day. She was to come in today and the vote was to be given tomorrow, she would have been here in plenty of time, when she heard that the vote was moved up one day for the vote she did not go. Her husband went ahead and he is now in landing on the tarmac.

Mr. Buckbee again asked for clarification that the third part of the “Depew” resolution has been funded from the union side.

Mr. Depew reiterated that everyone up here was called and “lobbyed” and told, “look, we want to make this work, we understand what is expected of us, give us the time necessary to make it happen.” He is aware that union negotiations do not happen overnight, it was never the expectation, as Mr. Anagnostakis stated, for these types of things to be dealt with in a matter of ten days or seven days or eight days of anything like that, that was not the expectation; however, there is a timeframe, the clock is ticking but certainly it was not to take that timeframe and turn it into three weeks. He does not believe that if the union was so against this plan and so supportive of going with this override that they would go on record and say give us the time necessary to meet with you to try and make this work. That is what this resolution does. He believes that in his heart and his head and based on the actions of the workers, they are supporting the override he would have to believe that they recognize that this is not going to be an easy thing to do but it is worth doing, the votes up here are not easy to make all of the time but they are worth doing.

Mrs. Bonelli wanted to point out a few facts; they are all hanging their hats on do they veto, do they override the veto but there are some real strong things to consider here. Quite frankly, the County taxation whether this gets overridden or not will remain exactly the same. Their goal here, as twenty-one Legislators and she has not heard anything different, was to keep this facility open so that they have the opportunity to explore all possible options that may be available to them to have a good future for Valley View. Have a home for those residents and have employment for the people that work there. Where they differ is how they proceed with that. One of the most important things that they have done is to start the process for the RFP which helps them in securing a future for Valley View. As far as how they proceed with this, she continued that she feels that they are getting bogged down and getting majorly distracted by personality differences and things are becoming very personal when they are not focusing on the issues and the issues are for them, as Legislators, to do the right thing for all of the taxpayers of Orange County as well as the residents that call Valley View their home and the people that work. She noted that they have a fiduciary responsibility, just as the County Executive does, to present sound and fiscally responsible budgets. In the veto message it stated and it caused some kind of speculation as to whether this sound accounting practices for them to proceed with and they debate that but the reality is that New York State and Washington are telling them that they have to address this because it is getting out of control and they do not want them to be in the business. They have to explore every possible option that there is out there. Having said that the County taxation does not change whether it is vetoed or not, she firmly believes that there are options available to this legislative body that they can pursue to keep funding for Valley View and that is what she would be looking to do. She just wanted to state that for the record and she thanked the union for continuing to point out things that they can look at, $3 million of givebacks in two weeks, if they can do that, that’s great but she does not think that they anticipate that and they have to be realistic about what they are looking at. She asked that they be patient with them, work with them 482 REGULAR SESSION - Wednesday, December 14, 2011 whether it becomes a situation that it is vetoed or not vetoed, they are all committed to moving forward.

Mr. Castricone stated here comes his “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington” moment because he is not going to let this come to a vote unless everyone is here and Mr. Depew has gone out of room for a moment, so let’s talk. They have had Mrs. Kemnitz talk about her trip and he wants to remind Mrs. Kemnitz that he took the “all nighter” back from Las Vegas in order to present his plan at the last meeting. He actually voted for three out of the four original plans to fund Valley View for the year and the only reason why he did not vote for the fourth one was because he stole most of it and put it into his and he thought he improved it. (He noted that Mr. Depew had come back into the room). He mentioned that he is also a sponsor on this piece of legislation and in all seriousness he has returned over two hundred e-mails most with the same response which is that he will make no decision without considering the three stakeholders in the issue; the residents, the employees and the taxpayers and in the long run the most prudent decision for all three is to vote to override the veto and give them a little time.

Ms. Bonacic addressed today’s speakers noting that no matter where a person votes today on this issue, never have any of the twenty-one Legislators sitting up here today, ever doubted the work that is done at Valley View and the quality of care at Valley View. She stated that she means that because sometimes that comes into play but on behalf of all twenty-one, that was never doubted. She wanted to elaborate on what Mrs. Bonelli stated earlier noting that the amendment passed regarding Valley View while it was well-intended, it did call into question the sound fiscal practices that have resulted in Orange County achieving the Triple-A bond rating which has either stabilized and in some years lowered the tax rate in this County which all of them have been very proud of. The amendment that they put forth was to demonstrate their continued desire to fund Valley View, in her opinion, while other options were explored. While many did feel strongly in that concept, there are some of them today that realize that they are not questioning the procedure as has been discussed today but that some of that money that they approved in that amendment, specifically, the $3 million in the IGT money may never be realized because of the changing policies for reimbursements to counties that run nursing homes. Even if the full $3 million is realized, there is a good chance that it will not realized in 2012 which is what they are talking about today so that become the concern for some of the Legislators. She continued that Mr. Amo spoke of 1966, Medicaid and the County nursing homes but she wanted to reiterate that the Legislature continues to face the problem that state and federal government have not been able to pay their fair share and they cannot ignore that. In her mind, they are on a path to privatize Valley View and she says that because it is the trend and she stated that for the RFP vote and Mr. Amo just referred to it earlier stating that there was a time when sixty counties ran nursing homes now there are thirty-five currently and at least ten are looking to close or privatize. She continued that they are on that path and no matter how a Legislator votes today she believes that a lot of them feel that way as well though she was not speaking for all Legislators. She reminded the Legislators that if they override or do not override the veto today that they as a Legislature have the power to continue to fund Valley View if they have a buyer and she, for one would be one of those Legislators who would fight for that as many others would. If the process does take longer and they will push for a buyer, they would fight for that funding as a Legislature and they must do that. In a final note to the County Executive, she stated, “that you made a pledge in good faith and your legacy for this County may well rest in your finding of a responsible buyer as you have assured you will and I ask today that you show us all, as I believe you will, that trust was justified.” Thank you.

Mrs. Donnery stated that they keep referring to things through all of this discussion and several times it has come up about our Triple A bond rating and she has said it so many times before, that all of the counties around us are not in the shape that we are in, they all have REGULAR SESSION - Wednesday, December 14, 2011 483 troubles, financially, far worse than our County has because they do not have a “cash cow” called Woodbury Common. Last year was Woodbury Commons’ greatest year and they have, when everyone suffered with less sales tax, probably received almost $10 million in additional sales tax so they keep asking where is the money, where is the money, where is money. She is sorry, they have the money and it is going to prove itself, the money is there. She does not want to hear about this wonderful management in the County. They have the “cash cow” called Woodbury Common. Go look at every other county and see what it is or ask the residents of Woodbury, they suffer through it or as she should say, they actually do not receive enough. She addressed the Legislature stating as she looks at each of them that this is nonsense they know that they will be able to cover this for this year between what the union is willing to do with them, Mr. Depew has laid it our very clearly and she thinks that they are being very short-sided when they are not looking to do what they are called to do in their elected office and in their service to the people.

Clerk Whightsil clarified for the Legislature that on Agenda Item No. 2, if they vote “aye” on the proposed resolution it indicates that they are voting to override the County Executive’s veto and if they vote “no” it indicates that they are sustaining the County Executive’s veto.

The vote resulted as follows:

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mrs. Bonelli commented that those who are planning to leave the auditorium they might want to stay for this particular resolution. The resolution has the designation within the general fund to allocate $3 million to Valley View; this is what they had been talking about that they could implement outside of the operating budget and still not compromise the County of Orange’s fiscal responsibilities and budgetary practices.

Clerk Whightsil clarified that if they vote “aye” on the proposed resolution, it indicates that they are voting to establish a designated fund of $3 million and if they vote “no” it indicates that they will not establish a designated fund of $3 million.

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Berkman stated that part of him wants to vote “no” just to show his vote of no confidence in the budget that is now adopted but the reason why he hesitated is because there are other aspects to this budget which were recommendations by Bennett Kielson which improved the budget so if the budget fails then Mr. Diana’s proposed budget becomes the budget so he is kind of boxed and so reluctantly he has voted in affirmative for this resolution but he is very disappointed.

RESOLUTION NO. 294 OF 2011

BOND RESOLUTION DATED DECEMBER 14, 2011

BOND RESOLUTION OF THE COUNTY OF ORANGE, NEW YORK, AUTHORIZ- ING PARTIAL RECONSTRUCTION OF VARIOUS COUNTY BUILDINGS, STATING THE ESTIMATED MAXIMUM COST THEREOF IS $100,000; APPROPRIATING SAID AMOUNT THEREFOR; AND AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF $100,000 BONDS OF THE COUNTY TO FINANCE SAID APPROPRIATION.

RESOLVED BY THE COUNTY LEGISLATURE OF THE COUNTY OF ORANGE, NEW YORK (by the affirmative vote of not less than two thirds of the voting strength of said Legislature), AS FOLLOWS:

Section 1. The County of Orange, New York (herein called “County”), is hereby authorized to continue existing Capital Project No. 142 for the Department of Public Works, consisting of partial reconstruction of various County buildings, including asbestos and lead removal, all as more particularly described in the County’s 2011 Capital Plan, as amended. The estimated maximum cost of said class of objects or purposes, including preliminary costs and costs incidental thereto and to the financing thereof, is $100,000, and said amount is hereby appropriated therefor. The plan of financing includes the issuance of $100,000 bonds of the County and any bond anticipation notes issued in anticipation of the sale of such bonds to finance said appropriation, the levy and collection of taxes on all the taxable real property in the County to pay the principal of and interest on said bonds and notes.

Section 3. The existing buildings to be partially reconstructed are of at least Class “B” construction as defined by Section 11.00 a. 11.(b) of the Law, and the period of probable usefulness for the class of objects or purposes for which said $100,000 bonds herein authorized are to be issued, within the limitations of Section 11.00 a. 12. (a) (2) of the Law, is fifteen (15) years.

Section 5. Each of the bonds authorized by this Resolution and any bond anticipation notes issued in anticipation of the sale thereof shall contain the recital of validity prescribed by Section 52.00 of said Local Finance Law and said bonds and any notes issued in anticipation of said bonds shall be general obligations of the County of Orange, payable as to both principal and interest by general tax upon all the taxable real property within the County. The faith and REGULAR SESSION - Wednesday, December 14, 2011 501 credit of the County are hereby irrevocably pledged to the punctual payment of the principal of and interest on said bonds and any notes issued in anticipation of the sale of said bonds or the renewals of said notes, and provision shall be made annually in the budgets of the County by appropriation for (a) the amortization and redemption of the notes and bonds to mature in such year and (b) the payment of interest to be due and payable in such year.

Section 6. The validity of the bonds authorized by this Resolution, and of any notes issued in anticipation of the sale of said bonds, may be contested only if:

(a) such obligations are authorized for an object or purpose for which the County is not authorized to expend money, or

Section 8. This Resolution shall take effect immediately.

Seconded by Mr. Buckbee.

Mr. Paduch stated that they are looking for a list indicating where they already spent all these hundreds of thousands of dollars every year on asbestos removal so they know what each building contains and if they are going to have to address it again or not. That is all the list is about; where they have already spent some money on abating asbestos.

Mr. Benton clarified that they are looking for an historical list of what they have already done and he is sure that Mr. Lee can get that to him as he said he would, that has nothing to do with borrowing or potentially borrowing money for future projects that are found on an “as you find them basis.”

Mrs. Kemnitz commented that she did ask in the Physical Services Committee meeting for a list to be drawn up so that they would know where they had been. Mr. Lee said it would be done; it had not been done in the past but it will be done from now on.

Mr. Castricone reiterated that this is required based on what they did earlier in the meeting to move some of the assessment for Chester to the County and all of the salaries for these individuals will be covered based on what the towns who use the County’s assessment assistance will be paying to the County so there are no County tax dollars involved in this. He asked that the Legislators support this.

Mr. Simmons commented that this was the same procedure they used in the Town of Deerpark and they have been very pleased with the services that have been provided. It has been a win-win situation for everyone. 508 REGULAR SESSION - Wednesday, December 14, 2011

Legislator Depew thanked his colleagues for the experience that he has been able to obtain in working with the Legislature. He said that he had a prepared letter, though he is not normally one to read written statements but he did write this and instead of getting emotional and forgetting to say a couple of things that he wanted to say, he thought he would write them down so he read his letter to the Legislature.

Legislator Petro said that he is not quite as eloquent as Legislator Depew. He has only been here about seven or eight months and they have all been a pain….he was only kidding. He said that everybody here, all three parties, have been 100% and it has been a pleasure. He probably made some lifelong friends. He wasn’t looking for this when Bill Lahey passed away in April and he was asked to step in and do this and it was his pleasure. He ran a campaign against Mr. Turnbull and he was very successful and he will be replacing him in about two weeks. Legislator Petro continued that he will be staying with the Industrial Development Agency and they will be having a meeting on December 21st, it will be their Christmas IDA party and begins at 3:00 p.m. He would love to see a lot of Legislators there to support the IDA. There are some exciting new things coming to the Accelerator; right now they are full and there are sixty-five people employed at the Accelerator and they have ten associate members that pay rent just to be a part of the program. They have outgrown the building and there will be other announcements coming shortly. He again extended an invitation to all Legislators to come to the Accelerator on the 21st. Also, he would like the opportunity to come once or twice a year to report to the entire Legislative body what is going on at the IDA; that would be a pleasure. Once again, he thanked everyone, especially, Chairman Pillmeier for all his advice and help, he appreciated it very much.

Chairman Pillmeier spoke to Mr. Depew and Mr. Petro on behalf of himself and his fellow colleagues noting that obviously, Mr. Depew has been with the Legislature longer than Mr. Petro but both of them have demonstrated very good legislative abilities, statesmanship and he appreciated their comments. He told Mr. Depew that he was looking forward to working with in his capacity at Supervisor of the Town of Wallkill and pointed out that the Town of Wallkill has open meetings and he is hoping to attend some of those meetings. To Mr. Petro he said that he will be continuing his good work with the Industrial Development Agency and under his leadership it has been an excellent economic tool here in Orange County and will only get better under his continued leadership. Congratulations and continue the good work.

In a final note, Chairman Pillmeier announced that the Legislature will have their Organi- zation Meeting on Thursday, January 5, 2012 at 1:30 p.m. and also at that meeting, the Labella Group will be there to answer questions regarding the report that they received on the post Hurricane Irene/Tropical Storm Lee. That meeting will take place immediately following the Organization Meeting.

Clerk Whightsil mentioned that booklets were handed out to the Legislators.

Mr. Berkman spoke to Mr. Depew and Mr. Petro and thanked each of them for their REGULAR SESSION - Wednesday, December 14, 2011 509 service, coming from the “other side of the aisle.” Thank you for your service and thank you for your friendship and for your independent judgments-he loved it when they agreed with him.

PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING APPLICATIONS FOR INCLUSION OF CERTAIN REAL PROPERTY INTO AGRICULTURAL DISTRICTS NOS. 1 AND 2 IN THE COUNTY OF ORANGE, NEW YORK

Public Hearing regarding applications for inclusion of certain real property into Agricul- tural Districts 1 and 2 in the County of Orange, New York was held in the Legislative Chambers, Orange County Government, Goshen, New York, on Thursday, June 2, 2011 at 3:00 p.m.

The Public Hearing was called to order at 3:00 p.m. by Dennis W. Simmons, Chairman of the Education and Economic Development Committee.

The Clerk read the Notice of Public Hearing and stated that the Notice of Public Hearing was published in the May 25, 2011 issues of the Hudson Valley Press, Wallkill Valley and Mid- Hudson Times and the May 27, 2011 issues of the Sentinel, News of the Highlands, Cornwall Local, Warwick Advertiser, Monroe Photo News, and The Chronicle.

Chairman Simmons asked for Mrs. Reed to summarize the Agricultural Districts inclusions of land.

Legislative Counsel Antoinette Reed described the procedures followed. In accordance with NYS Agriculture and Markets Law Section 303-b, the Orange County Legislature established the month of March of each year as the period in which landowners could submit applications for inclusion of their lands in the Orange County Agricultural Districts. Pres- ently, Orange County has two Districts: District No. 1 lying south of Route 17 and District No. 2 lying north of Route 17.

In 2011, the County received 7 such requests. Requests are referred and reviewed by the Orange County Planning Department, the Orange County Real Property Tax Division, the Orange County Soil and Water Conservation District and local town officials. Their comments and data are forwarded to the Orange County Agricultural and Farmland Protection Board. Members of the Farmland Protection Board make a site visit to each of the subject properties. Applicants are invited to attend the Farmland Protection Board meetings to support their applications. The Board then makes a recommendation on each parcel to the Orange County Legislature.

The two criteria used in determining eligibility are (1) whether the lands are “viable agricultural land” as defined by State Agricultural Districts Law and (2) whether the inclusion of such lands “would serve the public interest by assisting in maintaining a viable agricultural industry within the district.”

The Agricultural and Farmland Protection Board made the following recommendations:

Parcels to be included in Agricultural District No. 1:

1. Landowner: Kiloran Associates, LLC, P.O. Box 393, Blooming Grove, NY 10914, Town of Blooming Grove, Section 38 Block 1 Lot 8.21, containing 94.1 acres

2. Landowner: Barry Kaye, P.O. Box 414, Blooming Grove, NY 10914, Town of Blooming Grove, Section 38 Block 1 Lot 41.11, containing 97.3 acres

3. Landowner: Joe Matt, LLC, P.O. Box 707, Chester, NY 10918, Town of Blooming Grove, Section 38 Block 1 Lot 16, containing 42.2 acres 512 PUBLIC HEARING - Thursday, June 2, 2011

4. Landowner: Kenneth Weinert, 37 Tice Lane, P.O. Box 321, Circleville, NY 10919, Town of Wallkill, Section 19 Block 1 Lot 24.2, containing 17.9 acres

5. Landowner: Stewart Gottlieb, 82 Dosen Road, Middletown, NY 10940 and Joanne and Robert Norbury, 12 Wilcox Avenue, Middletown, NY 10940, Town of Wallkill, Section 47 Block 1 Lot 1.1, containing 4.1 acres

Parcels to be included in Agricultural District No. 2:

Landowner: Raven Hill Farms, LLC/Deirdre Hamling: (1) 83 Four Corners Road, Warwick, NY 10990, Town of Warwick, Section 9 Block 1 Lot 13 (2) 83 Four Corners Road, Warwick, NY 10990, Village of Florida, Section 109 Block 2 Lot 16, both parcels containing 36.2 acres

The Agricultural and Farmland Protection Board did not recommend the following parcel for inclusion in Agricultural District No. 1

Landowner: Javelin Realty Co., 3141 Route 6, Slate Hill, NY 10973, Town of Hamptonburgh, Section 2 Block 1 Lot 32.1 and Section 6 Block 1 Lot 32, containing 97.6 acres

The recommendations of the Board were forwarded to the Legislative oversight committees of Rules, Enactments and Intergovernmental Relations and Education and Economic Development. Both Legislative committees accepted the recommendations of the Farmland Protection Board.

The Planning Department has determined that the inclusion of these lands in the Agricul- tural Districts will have no significant adverse affects on the environment.

Chairman Berardinelli asked if there were any members of the public who wished to speak.

Susan Bloom, Goshen: Stated she thought that the Valley View Center for Nursing Care and Rehabilitation should be funded for the entire year 2012, and that she was qualified to run it and would do so for only $100,000 per year.

Frank Carbone, Sr., Newburgh: Commented that although most United States’ industries and governments were downsizing, Orange County, New York was downsizing and upsizing at the same time. He felt that although the Valley View Nursing home budget was cut, there was a proposal to build a new county government center. He continued that if government operations were downsized in the future, the proposed new building would be too large. He noted that one thing that was not going to be downsizing in the United States and Orange County was the elderly, sick and infirmed people that needed special medical care, protection and housing.

Bill Oliphant, President, Orange County bargaining unit of CSEA: He stated that they all knew what fiscal responsibility meant in regard to the future of the Valley View Nursing Home and the expenditure of taxpayer dollars, but what they didn’t understand was what would happen to 360 residents currently at Valley View or to the nearly 450 workers. He felt that all elected officials were responsible for insuring the domestic welfare of all residents. He felt the focus at all the meetings regarding Valley View was that it was stated there was a $20 million deficit at Valley View. He continued that CSEA has collectively identified dollar cost savings and potential revenue streams that would serve to further close the fiscal gap at Valley View which was announced by the County Executive to fully fund Valley View for 2012 and would give time to work to establish a long term plan for the facility. He stated that their proposal was only a work in progress designed to assist Ways and Means to fully fund Valley View through the end of the year 2012, while they continue to work together to establish a formal, long-term plan. They felt that the deficit was not $20 million but was actually $10 million. He asked what value they want to place on the senior citizens who are domiciled at Valley View.

Denise Weinberger, Wallkill: She stated she was a family member of a current resident and felt she needed to be a voice for the people directly involved. She continued that Valley View was home to the residents who could not live in the environment they truly desired. She first 516 PUBLIC HEARING - Tuesday, October 25, 2011 had been introduced to Valley View in 2005 when she had to admit her husband who had severe medical issues. This was a very difficult time for her and the family as her husband was only 46 years old. The Valley View staff helped make that difficult time tolerable and now that her mother is there she feels very safe. Please take a look at Valley View and see what it does for the residents, the County and the people.

Emmet Garnham, Port Jervis: He felt there had to be plenty of ways to figure this out without just cutting the budget for Valley View. He thought that by defunding the budget for a half year, the Legislators had been handcuffed, he felt that they should say “No” and do something about this. He wanted the Legislators to look inside their hearts and find a way to save the home of these people.

Laura Mallon, Middletown: Spoke about salaries of elected officials and health insurance. She wanted to know what givebacks the County would be giving since they wanted the union to make givebacks. She felt the Legislators were elected to represent the people and give them what they need and want which was to save Valley View and not have a new government building.

Jessica Ladlee, Cornwall-on-Hudson: Stated she worked for CSEA, and the research department had taken a close look at the 2012 proposed budget as well as the feasibility study done on Valley View. They had identified a number of areas where cost savings might be made at Valley View. The suggestions had been shared with the County Executive at a recent meeting, and they would like the opportunity to form a labor management committee which would allow them to work collaboratively on cost savings at Valley View. She felt that Valley View should be funded through 2012 by working together with them for cost savings.

Sabina Shapiro, Warwick: Long time employee of DSS, spoke about the Governmental Accounting Standards Board which required that government employers prepare for future expenditures, such as employees who retire and begin to collect their pensions by including that future expense in each year’s current budget. Now the employer must show not only the pension but additional expenses such as medical, sick leave and vacation accruals. She spoke about when long term, higher paid employees of Valley View (such as those with 40 or more years of service) retire, the information of health insurance will be transferred to another line representing current retirees or former employees. She spoke about the long term employee that continued to work and who would not be paid from the GASB fund and asked what portion of the budget is the potentially considerable amount that is held in this account for the worker who opts not to take retirement at this time?

Vanessa Bisone, Florida: She stated the 2012 budget had defunded 425 Valley View employees with salary and benefits, but recommended full funding of all other lines beginning on page 389, line 571230 of the budget which do not affect employees salaries, wages or benefits. The expenses were such things as residents’ prescription drugs, disposable diapers, medical supplies, cleaning supplies, etc. She felt that all of those lines should have been reduced by half, just as employee expenses had been. She continued that all the contracts were fully funded - the administration contract, laundry services contract, security service, etc. She felt that these should all be revisited for adjustments and cost savings. She continued that the facility downsized in 2008 through the Berger Commission mandate from 520 to 360 beds, but none of the service contracts were ever sized down. She stated that the staff had been downsized by over 100 employees; there were less staff and residents to provide management, goods and services for. She continued that Valley View needed to be funded through 2012 in order to PUBLIC HEARING - Tuesday, October 25, 2011 517 insure the feasibility study process set out by the Legislature last June; because a closure plan would be impossible to accomplish in seven months and because the least amount of time it would take to privatize would be twelve months. She felt that the Legislature needed to fund Valley View for all of 2012 to insure that the residents were able to stay in the home they had been provided.

Robert Fromaget, Blooming Grove: He felt that the problems with Valley View had to do with County government and administration. He felt there was a surplus in 2000, but that has been going downhill since then. He continued that the other twelve enterprise funds in the County budget (including golf courses, etc.) should be looked at. He felt that a lot of the people at Valley View were unable to afford health care at other facilities. He spoke about the Valley View debt burden which shows that only interest is being paid for, not principal. If it is sold would there be a huge debt that would have to be paid for. He spoke about the Orange County Sewer District and asked why the administrative expenses were projected to grow so much in 2012. He continued that litigation expenses for Camp LaGuardia or the amended FEIS should not be charged to the users of the OC Sewer District.

Margie Schwomer, Goshen: She stated that she always thought Orange County was great, but now she is not so sure. She has worked at Valley View for a long time and runs the veterans club. She continued that people all over Orange County are talking about Valley View, and if they could vote, she felt they would vote to keep Valley View. She stated that they should think about the residents.

Patty Parish, Warwick: She stated she was a DSS employee in the Medicaid unit; a lot of Valley View patients are Medicaid recipients. She stated that if anyone was transferred to another state, it was still the fiscal responsibility of the County for the patients since it states in the law that it is their legal residence. She felt that if Valley View closes, the County would still maintain the cost.

Maryann McDonough, Otisville: She stated she had been a County employee for over twenty-five years, and her Mother had been at Valley View for almost twenty-two years. She continued that she had appealed to the morale decision when she spoke before but was going to talk numbers this time. She had nothing against the other County departments that were asking for County funds, but no one was doing a feasibility study on those departments to cut costs. She felt that OAS could be looked at as well as the other contracts at Valley View in order to save a lot of money. She stated that she felt that OCCC could be looked at to save money-she felt that there was $23 million in County taxes for OCCC or the Orange County Jail-she felt that $37 million was a lot of County contribution and she hoped they would look at other departments for cost savings.

Lois McDonald, Montgomery: She stated there had not been one person that had spoken at the public hearing who said they felt that Valley View should be sold or closed. She asked that they keep this in mind and keep Valley View.

Pat Matero, Warwick: She stated she had worked at Valley View for twenty-two years and had been involved in a lot of the executive functions. She recalled discussions that occurred where it was pointed out that the benefits were going up and the reimbursement was going down, so moderation was necessary, but no one at Valley View was ever included in negotiations. She felt there had to be some culpability for them as they had been involved in the benefits package decision. She continued that there was a difference between public and private sector nursing homes. She further stated that many people came to her office who wanted their family members to be at Valley View. She felt that the employees and residents 518 PUBLIC HEARING - Tuesday, October 25, 2011 had been treated badly through all of this. She continued that if they allowed all the moneys to be shifted from the elderly to the young, they will be in for a world of hurt. She suggested that they tour all the other nursing homes and then go back to Valley View to see the difference.

With no other members of the public wishing to speak, Chairman Berardinelli closed the public hearing at 6:47 p.m. LEGISLATORS' PROCEEDINGS 519

ACT NO. 10 OF 2011

AN ACT ESTABLISHING HEALTH INSURANCE PREMIUM CONTRIBUTIONS BY NEWLY ELECTED OFFICIALS.

BE IT ENACTED by the Legislature of Orange County, State of New York, as follows:

Section 1. Purpose and Findings.

The purpose of this Act is to require newly elected officials to contribute to the rapidly escalating cost of health insurance premiums paid by the County for its elected officials, beginning January 1, 2014. Currently, more than half of all County employees pay a portion of their health insurance premium under the terms of their respective Collective Bargaining Agreements with the County. In addition, in furtherance of the need to contain costs, the County Executive promulgated Executive Order No. 4 of 2011, directing that effective January 1, 2012, all newly hired managers not covered by a Collective Bargaining Agreement will be required to contribute ten (10%) percent of the premium or cost of the premium paid by the County for the New York State Health Insurance Plan (“NYSHIP” or “The Empire Plan”). 544 LEGISLATORS' PROCEEDINGS

The contribution requirements imposed by this Act apply only to officials who are newly elected to their positions, so that officials currently holding elected office will not be affected by this Act. This exclusion is consistent with terms negotiated by the County and its six bargaining units, which exempt from making contributions classes of employees who meet certain longevity criteria. This exclusion also recognizes the terms and conditions of employment in effect at the time such elected officials took office.

Section 2. Health Insurance Premium Contributions Required.

a. The County of Orange shall continue to contribute 100% of the premium or assume 100% of the cost of the New York State Health Insurance Plan (“NYSHIP” or “The Empire Plan”), for all elected officials holding office in Orange County Government as of the effective date of this Act, and for so long as such elected officials shall continue to hold elective office.

b. Effective January 1, 2014, all newly elected officials shall be required to contribute ten (10%) percent of the cost of the premium paid by the County for the New York State Health Insurance Plan for each such elected official. The contribution requirements provided under this Section shall not apply to officials holding elective office as of the effective date of this Act for as long as such officials shall continuously hold any elective office in Orange County Government without interruption in service.

Section 3. Effective Date.

This Act shall take effect immediately.
