Chairman Merrick read the following remarks: STATE OF THE COUNTY JANUARY 2, 2001 Upon the creation of the Livingston County Millennium Committee, a mission statement was adopted, which stated that ΑThe mission of the Livingston County Millennium Committee is to celebrate our heritage and achievements, and to envision our future.≅ Through the efforts of those involved, I believe we accomplished and learned a great deal about our county and who we are. We were able to bring together the young and the not so young, business and government, and people from every area of the County. We truly ΑCelebrated Our Past and Envisioned our Future.≅ The organizational skills and commitments of the many volunteers and county staff who unselfishly gave of their time and talents made each and every endeavor we under took an outstanding and truly memorable success. It was my great fortune to have been the Chairman of the Board of Supervisors during this unique point in our history. 2 === During the year 2000, I believe Livingston County government accomplished a great deal. Among our achievements this past year have been: Χ In spite of spiraling increases in the cost of many mandated programs, such as Medicaid, we were able to hold the line on taxes. Χ We completed the construction of the new Highway Facility at Hampton Corners. Χ With the assistance of the Livingston County Water and Sewer Authority, we have nearly completed the water and sewer extensions to Hampton Corners and American Rock Salt Mine and in doing so, our County Administrator and Director of Economic Development were able to secure additional state aid of over half million dollars to cover increased costs primarily due to inflation. Χ We have completed the construction of a new Emergency Communication System, which will benefit all sectors of Livingston County=s public safety and emergency response services. Χ After an in depth and thorough review, the Board of Supervisors voted to undertake the securitization of our share of the National Tobacco Settlement which allowed us to completely eliminate all future debt service for our Hampton Corners complex and to provide for future debt reduction and budget stability in years to come. With the recent news of the past week regarding the decrease in tobacco consumption, I believe, verifies the correctness of this decision. Χ In looking ahead to the challenges 2001 will bring, I look forward to working with the Board, County Administrator, Department Heads and the Community in several areas. Χ The completion of our comprehensive long-term care study and its recommendations. We will again be in the position of making some significant decisions, but I have full confidence that whatever the outcome, our concern for the future needs of our citizens will be the overriding concern. Χ We hope to complete the final phases of the Hampton Corners complex with the construction of the Animal Control and the LATS facilities. Χ Economically, I look to the continued growth of our industrial parks, a business incubator, telecommunications initiatives and the development of the Dansville ΑCastle≅ Housing Project. Χ I look forward to the completion and grand opening of the American Rock Salt Mine. Χ We will soon be completing a review of the County Jail and it=s future needs. Χ I trust that we will achieve fair and equitable outcomes of the collective bargaining processes currently underway with our labor unions. I am appreciative of the support and cooperation I have received during the past year and look forward to building our future with each and every one of you.
