Tuesday, January 5, 2016

The County Legislature convened at the Emergency Services Building Auditorium, 22 Wells Farm Road, Goshen, New York, on the 5th day of January, Two Thousand Sixteen.

County Clerk, Annie Rabbitt administered the Oath of Office to newly elected Legislator Thomas J. Faggione representing the 13th Legislative District.

The meeting was called to order with a moment of silence and the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag at 3:30 p.m., by Jean M. Ramppen, 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 Paul Ruszkiewicz Third Legislative District Curlie W. Dillard Fourth Legislative District Katie Bonelli Fifth Legislative District James M. Kulisek Sixth Legislative District Myrna K. Kemnitz Seventh Legislative District Barry J. Cheney Eighth Legislative District L. Stephen Brescia Ninth Legislative District John S. Vero Tenth Legislative District Matthew A. Turnbull Eleventh Legislative District Kevin W. Hines Twelfth Legislative District Thomas J. Faggione Thirteenth Legislative District James DiSalvo Fourteenth Legislative District Christopher W. Eachus Fifteenth Legislative District Leigh J. Benton Sixteenth Legislative District Mike Anagnostakis Seventeenth Legislative District Roseanne Sullivan Eighteenth Legislative District Michael D. Paduch Nineteenth Legislative District Jeffrey D. Berkman Twentieth Legislative District Philip J. Canterino Twenty-first Legislative District

The Temporary Chair stated that the first order of business would be to elect a Chairman of the County Legislature for the year 2016.

Mr. Ruszkiewicz nominated L. Stephen Brescia for Chairman of the Orange County Leg- islature. He doesn’t normally write out speeches and read from them but he was going to make an exception in this case because he doesn’t want to forget any of the great things Steve asked him to say about him. He also wanted to keep it brief because he knows that Steve’s acceptance speech can sometimes be a little lengthy. He felt Steve was the best choice for Chair- man. One of the keys in having an effective Legislature is having an effective Chairman.

Steve has served as Chairman for the past two years and has done an excellent job. He works to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to provide input on issues and works hard to build consensus, which isn’t always an easy task. He was most impressed with Steve last year at this time when he was re-elected as Chairman. In his acceptance speech he said a lot of things that needed to be said at the time and did a great job of expressing what all of us as 10 ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING - Tuesday, January 5, 2016

Legislators were thinking and feeling. Since then he believed that they have all seen a great deal of positive change. Communication has improved, not only in the Legislature but also between the Legislature and the County Executive. Steve’s monthly roundtable meetings have also helped to facilitate this communication. He and Steve do not always agree on every issue but the lines of communication are always open, as they are with every Legislator. “Steve, you are a true leader and I am honored to be able to nominate you as Chairman of the Orange County Legislature.”

Mr. DiSalvo stated it was his distinguished pleasure to second the nomination of L. Stephen Brescia as Chairman of the Orange County Legislature for the year 2016.

The Temporary Chair asked if there were any other nominations.

Mr. Paduch placed in nomination the name of his friend, Jeffrey D. Berkman for Chairman of the Orange County Legislature for the year 2016. The reason for the nomination was very simple, government is supposed to be inclusive to work with everyone. We all have the same responsibilities and we should be sharing those responsibilities. He stated that Mr. Brescia has done a fairly decent job. He felt there was more outreach that could be done in regards to a few issues that really damaged the Legislature in his opinion. He didn’t want to mention them but if you think about it some might remember what they are. It is very important that they all work together and listen to each other a little bit more than they have been. They have worked on some great issues in past years and we have worked together which is a compliment to Mr. Brescia. He felt there is a lot more that can be done and that was the reason why he was nominating Jeffrey D. Berkman as Chairman of the Orange County Legislature.

Mr. Turnbull seconded the nomination of Jeffrey D. Berkman as Chairman of the Orange County Legislature.

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. Anagnostakis moved to close nominations for Chairman of the Orange County Legis- lature, seconded by Mrs. Sullivan. All in favor.

The Temporary Chair closed nominations and asked the Deputy Clerk to poll the Legisla- tors for their votes.

The final vote was as follows: Brescia 13; Berkman 8. Mr. L. Stephen Brescia has been elected Chairman of the Orange County Legislature for the year 2016.

The Temporary Chair recognized Mrs. Bonelli who announced that the Republican Caucus has chosen, once again, Melissa Bonacic as Majority Leader of the Republican Caucus.

Melissa has led with consensus building, compassion, integrity and wit which is definitely needed in their caucus as well as the entire Legislature. She has done a tremendous job and that is why they have unanimously supported her once again for 2016 to be the Majority Leader of the Orange County Legislature. She congratulated Ms. Bonacic and thanked her for her past efforts and we look forward to a great future.

The Temporary Chair recognized Mr. Eachus who announced that for the 2016 Legislative year the Democratic Caucus unanimously nominated Matthew A. Turnbull as the Democratic Caucus Leader. He pointed out that Matt would agree with him, that they are not the minority, they are the Democrats. They are looking for great energy and invigoration by Matt. They believe that he can speak to everybody and he will be doing that so get ready to listen to what ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING - Tuesday, January 5, 2016 11

Matt has to say. Mr. Eachus thanked Mr. Turnbull for taking over this job from him. He congratulated Mr. Turnbull.

The Temporary Chair recognized Mr. Amo who joked stating that he doesn’t always agree with the Democrats but he felt uncomfortable being the Minority Leader. He stated that the Independence Caucus has unanimously chosen Michael Amo as leader of the Independence Caucus for 2016.

The Temporary Chair recognized the Brescia family and requested them to join County Clerk Annie Rabbitt for the administration of the oath of office to the Chairman.

Chairman Brescia thanked the Legislature and he thanked Mr. Ruszkiewicz for the nomination speech and Mr. DiSalvo for the second. He thanked his sister Stacy and his mother Phyllis for being there. He stated that there wouldn’t be a speech like last year. The year 2015 was a much more refreshing and rewarding year than 2014 was and he was thankful for that. Last year he needed to get some things off his chest and some Legislators got things off their chest. He joked when a Legislator disagrees with him he just tells them they are wrong and we move on. He felt that they have definitely come a long way since 2014 and we are definitely working more collaboratively. They had many accomplishments such as union contracts, they have seen the fruits of the early retirement and the savings they acquired and also the separation agreement along with many other measures that came from the Legisla- tive side of the house and the County Executive’s side of the house, commissioners and employees. He was happy that the Government Center is finally underway and they plan to sign contracts within the next month or two and they should be in the building mid to late 2017, if all goes well. They plan to keep Valley View and they got the costs down from $10 million plus to somewhere in the neighborhood of $2 million and they need to keep it there. John Vero pointed out that they will have some bonding issues dealing with maintenance over at Valley View and they will need to seriously look at them but they need to keep the costs affordable and keep Valley View in county hands. We are on board with the Heritage Trail in Middletown, Wallkill and Goshen. He believed the I.D.A. money that was suggested by Mr. Kulisek and passed the I.D.A. a month ago was a great idea. There are many other things as well and he is pleased with the way things are going. He wished Shannon all the best in her new endeavors. It is a job that is near and dear to her heart. He welcomed aboard Tom Faggione and Phil Canterino. They have hit the ground running and have been very engaging right from the start. They will continue their roundtable meetings with the County Executive. Whether it was Mrs. Kemnitz’s idea or Steve Neuhaus’ idea or Mike Anagnostakis’ idea about the property at Valley View to develop it related to health and seniors, it was a great idea and we are all on board with that. They are getting proposals together and there will be an RFP going out soon. The aircraft carrier is not turning quickly but it is turning. We got the deficit down and things are looking a lot brighter and he would like to continue in that vein. He added that he has an open door policy and he will try to be amenable to everything. Mr. Eachus mentioned to him about the Green Study Committee which they hope to resurrect. He advised Mr. Eachus to try and come up with some positive ideas, not a thousand ideas that will cause them to be all over the place, but things that they can incorporate into county government whether it is through DPW or the Airport. The Airport Committee is in full gear and they are looking for cost savings. He thanked everyone once again. 12 ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING - Tuesday, January 5, 2016

She also wanted to thank Chris Eachus and stated it was an absolute pleasure working with Chris, she continued to state that some people might think that is not a good thing but she thinks that in good government it is a good thing. It is a good thing to agree and it is a healthy thing to disagree but when they disagree they agree to disagree and move on. Chris was fantastic to work with and she thanked him very much and thanked him for all the time he put in to that position. Again, she looked forward to working with Mr. Turnbull.

Chairman Brescia congratulated Mr. Turnbull and he looked forward to working with him. He added that it was a pleasure to work with Mr. Eachus. He congratulated Mr. Turnbull, Ms. Bonacic and Mr. Amo on their leadership positions.

Mr. Turnbull revealed the real reason why he wanted to be Minority Leader was so he doesn’t have to sit behind Kevin Hines anymore, he can sit next to him and they can now discuss basketball. He congratulated all of the newly elected individuals and he looked forward to working with the Chairman. He recalled years ago little Stevie Brescia and his great father who was such an experienced man who he has fond memories of knowing. His fellow Demo- crat, Mr. Eachus, did a fantastic job this past year and he really brought us along and has been a real power of example to him and he will call on him for help often. His fear is that they might be starting this year off on the wrong note. He is a big fan of representative government and that is the type of government that the people of Orange County deserve. Eight out of the twenty-one of them are democrats and it seems to him that for that reason if you really want to represent the people of Orange County, and the last time he looked there were more Democrats in Orange County than Republicans, representative government might suggest that some of these committees should be led by Democrats. They were headed in the right direction after a year of not having a Democrat as chairman of a statutory committee but last year they did have at least one. They were hoping for two this year, but the word he is getting 18 ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING - Tuesday, January 5, 2016 is that there will be none. For him that starts the year off on the wrong note and he hoped that the Chairman would reconsider that because Mr. Paduch did a heck of a job heading that committee and they need more of his good work. He should not be replaced he should continue to head that committee. He is hoping that a Democrat will lead the Green Commit- tee because we Democrats are a lot greener than the Republicans are and he thinks they will do a better job. He looked forward to seeing what they can do. He thinks that in the end all of them believe in the same thing but they just need to talk more and get on the same page.

On the motion of Mr. Anagnostakis, seconded by Mr. Vero, the meeting adjourned at 4:02 p.m.

A LOCAL LAW, BEING INTRODUCTORY NO. 2 OF 2016, ENTITLED “A LOCAL LAW IN RELATION TO PREVENTING THE CONSUMPTION OF ALCOHOL BY MI- NORS ON PREMISES (‘ORANGE COUNTY SOCIAL HOST LAW’).”

Seconded by Mr. Vero.

Mr. Turnbull noted that alcohol is a very powerful drug and he felt that this was the right kind of law. It will generate educational activity and the educational campaign is really the important thing that will happen. In an effort to inform the public and let them know, to allow underage drinking will not be tolerated. He was hopeful that this will result in saving some lives. He didn’t think there was a year that went by that they don’t have an incident with a person underage and very often these are people leaving a party and they jump in a car and more often than not they have other teenagers in the car with them. This is a good law. He shared that he was on the board with the Alcoholism and Drug Abuse Council, ADAC, and he hoped that ADAC will be involved in the educational campaign because they are the ones that have been in the trenches with this issue for many years.

Mr. Amo gave his support towards the law and was hopeful it would pass unanimously because it is the right thing to do. When they create a law like this there is potential unintended consequences to families who do not fully understand it and maybe children who don’t fully understand the consequences of this. That is not the intention of this, the intention is to try and reduce the occurrences of underage drinking in homes. He agreed with Mr. Turnbull in regard to the education. They need to get the message out to everyone in Orange County that this is now a new law and there are consequences. They heard stories from Mr. Vero how people can lose houses if they end up getting sued as a result of someone having a party at their house or if they try to use their insurance to pay for any damages. Now they REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, February 4, 2016 25 have a law and they would likely not be able to use the insurance because you broke a law. There are a lot of questions and we owe it to the residents of Orange County to tell them what that is and make sure that they understand it. He knew that Mr. Hines said they would do something like that in terms of education and he really hoped they would look at it seriously. He felt that ADAC was a great place to help with the education. He added that social media was a good source as well and they need to tell families. It can’t be after the fact when there are big consequences when they didn’t realize they were doing something that was really bad.

Chairman Brescia commented that the District Attorney planned to come back to the Public Safety and Emergency Services Committee and the Ways and Means Committee meeting with a $20,000 proposal for education and a plan as requested at the joint meeting.

Mr. Amo mentioned that he didn’t know if it needed to be the District Attorney necessar- ily. ADAC is a powerful group and the Department of Social Services is also very actively involved in this issue. They need to think about where to place the money and how to use it.

Mr. Eachus agreed with all that was stated. He was glad that there was going to be an active approach whether it is ADAC or anybody else for the educational aspect of it. He planned to support this and stated that this law was brought to a head because of a terrible, terrible tragedy in the county. He knows that all their hearts and sympathies go out to that family. He hoped that they watched this law carefully because as they know, he had trouble with the term, “knowingly,” throughout the process. He spent his career working with teenagers in high school and noting that a number of parties occurred he felt that they need to keep track of the law. He hoped that the District Attorney will come back and let them know if the law is working the way it is and if not then they could approach it again and make whatever adjustments they need.

“BOND RESOLUTION OF THE COUNTY OF ORANGE, NEW YORK, AUTHO- RIZING PAVING OF VARIOUS COUNTY PARK FACILITIES, STATING THE ESTI- MATED MAXIMUM COST THEREOF IS $250,000, APPROPRIATING SAID AMOUNT THEREFOR, AND AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF $250,000 BONDS OF THE COUNTY TO PAY THE COST THEREOF.”

Seconded by Mr. Vero.

Mr. Turnbull wanted his name removed as a sponsor and planned to vote no on the resolution. He explained that when he reviewed the capital plan and it might just be him, there were several paving projects in the plan and he was confused why the Parks Department were doing so many paving projects. It seems like an awful lot of money and that money is spent over several years. Since the cost of asphalt has dropped drastically he didn’t understand why they were still paying the same amount for these paving projects that they were paying a couple of years ago when asphalt was at premium cost. He would like to get a better explana- tion because when it was presented to them it was explained that it was for paving at the Physical Services Committee and then at the Ways and Means Committee Mr. Rose brought additional information but it wasn’t enough information for him to support it today.

Chairman Brescia wished that Commissioner Viebrock was present today because he believed that he wanted to get the bids out early and lock in on the lower price on asphalt. That was his understanding at the Physical Services Committee meeting. He asked Mrs. Bonelli and Mr. Cheney if that was their understanding as well and they confirmed that it was. He did not want to delay it.

Mr. Cheney explained that the use of the money would be to do as much paving as they can so the lower the price the more paving that can get done this year. In subsequent years, the money in the capital plan could possibly be reduced. This is the time to move ahead with these types of projects when the price per unit is less expensive than it was in the past and may be in the future.

Mr. Benton mentioned that it was stated at both committee meetings that in 2015 they did about 80,000 square feet and this year they are planning on doing at least 220,000 square feet. They are doing more paving including the grouped picnic areas, Sally’s Dream and the parking lots at the parks. It is time to do as much as they can while the price is low.

Ayes 13; Noes 8; Absent 0; DEFEATED.

Chairman Brescia was hopeful that this would go back to committee later this month because he would hate to lose out on the price.

Mr. Turnbull stated that they were all very proud that the project is moving forward. He REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, February 4, 2016 39 was putting together a nice press release for the Democrats. He shared the press release with Commissioner Rose who then shared it with the County Executive who did his own press release. He thanked the County Executive for doing a nice press release for him.

Mr. Berkman wanted to share with the people of Middletown because this has been a long time coming, it was a promise made and he appreciates the collaboration with the Legislature. It is outstanding and it was resolved even before he made the request. There are a lot of people who deserve credit for moving forward such as: Mr. Rose, Mr. Czamanske, the County Execu- tive and many Legislators backed this as well. There was some home team support from Elizabeth Alboher who is the leader of the Middletown Heritage Trail Support Group and also Jerry Kleiner. He expressed his appreciation and noted it was a fun, happy moment that we can all agree on something as important as this to his district and beyond. He thanked everyone for keeping a promise. He wanted to make sure that they stick to a timetable so we don’t lose time in getting the job done. He and Mr. Benton wanted to invite everyone to come and take a hike through the site as the weather breaks.

Mr. DiSalvo was in support of the resolution. He told Mr. Berkman that he was on the fence just to let him sweat it out a bit. He wanted to remind the County Legislature and he was sure that the County Executive was aware because he spoke with him about it before as well as Chairman Cheney regarding the southern part of the Heritage Trail and Harriman. Hopefully, they will move forward with that in the near future and try to connect that to the train station. He felt it would give more life to the trail overall as they move towards Middletown.

Mrs. Kemnitz echoed Mr. DiSalvo’s sentiments because she would like to have a terminus in Harriman and have a definite place where it will end. She understood that because other projects like the casino were being discussed in that area, Harriman was put on the back burner for the trail but it is extremely important that Harriman will be the ending location and that is where it will be so that Harriman can then develop the area around it for revenue that it definitely needs. She hoped that the southern part would go through.

Mr. Ruszkiewicz was happy that the project was moving forward. He did want to point out that on the previous resolution regarding paving, he believed that some of that paving was going to go to parts of the Heritage Trail. As they look to expand the trail he hoped that everyone kept in mind that they also need to maintain and continue to maintain for the future.

Mr. Canterino wanted to thank the Legislature. He was aware of correspondence that was sent in by the Goshen municipalities because this will start in Goshen and end up in Middletown and he thought it was a wonderful thing. They have full support of the municipalities and appreciation.

Mr. Paduch commented that he also wanted to thank everyone involved. He represents the first ward in the City of Middletown and they spoke to a lot of new businesses in Middletown who have been hoping for the Heritage Trail to come through the City of Middletown. Economic Development is a major part of this and it is important for every community and he cannot wait to get it started.

Mr. Berkman interjected and thanked Mayor DeStefano as well.

Mr. Faggione was happy that everyone was so happy and excited. He did point out as a reminder, geographically, the County of Orange does not end in Middletown, it ends in the Town of Deerpark and the City of Port Jervis. He along with everyone else in western Orange County would be happy to look at ways to bring the Heritage Trail all the way from Harriman all the way to the City of Port Jervis. He would be glad to work with anybody on that. 40 REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, February 4, 2016

Chairman Brescia commented that hopefully they can do that. He also thanked the entire Legislature for the cooperative effort. He knows they have been very supportive and Jim Kulisek suggested they use the economic impact and go to the Industrial Development Agency, I.D.A. He asked Harry Porr to go to the I.D.A. with an application which he did with the County Executive and he even suggested the amount that he applied for. That made it easier for the Legislature to agree on because it was a bigger sum and that million dollars was coming off the county share. He thanked everyone who has been involved including the I.D.A. who has been very cooperative.

RESOLUTION NO. 22 OF 2016

RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING FEBRUARY AS BLACK HISTORY AWARENESS 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 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 African American Life and History (“ASALH”) has established the national theme for the month-long celebration. The 2016 National Black History Month theme is “Hallowed Grounds: Sites of African American Memories” which brings attention to the centennial celebration of the National Park Service and the more than twenty-five sites and the Underground Railroad Network to Freedom that are part of America’s hallowed grounds, including the home of the father of black history, Dr. Carter G. Woodson; and

WHEREAS, the history of African Americans unfolds across the canvas of America, beginning before the arrival of the Mayflower and continuing to the present. From port cities where Africans disembarked from slave ships to the battle fields where their descendants REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, February 4, 2016 55 fought for freedom, from the colleges and universities where they pursued education, to places where they created communities during centuries of migration, the imprint of Americans of African descent is deeply embedded in the narrative of the American past. These sites prompt us to remember and over time became hallowed grounds; and

WHEREAS, one cannot tell the story of American without preserving and reflecting on the places where African Americans have made history. The Kingsley Plantation, DuSable’s home site, the numerous stops along the Underground Railroad, Seneca Village, Mother Bethel A.M.E. Church and Frederick Douglass’ home — to name just a few — are sites that keep alive the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in our consciousness. They retain and refresh the memories of our forbears’ struggles for freedom and justice, and their belief in God’s grace and mercy. Similarly, the hallowed grounds of Mary McLeod Bethune’s home in Washington, D.C., 125th Street in Harlem, Beale Street in Memphis, and Sweet Auburn Avenue in Atlanta tell the story of the struggle for equal citizenship during the American century.

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 contributions of people of African descent to culture here in the United States.

AN ACT, BEING ACT NO. 3 OF 2016, ENTITLED, “AN ACT AMENDING THE AP- PROPRIATE ORANGE COUNTY EMPLOYMENT SCHEDULES TO CREATE ‘RECY- CLING COORDINATOR’ AT THE ORANGE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS/DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL FACILITIES AND SERVICES, PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.02(l) OF THE ORANGE COUNTY CHARTER.”

Seconded by Mr. Vero.

Mr. Eachus commented that he was very excited that they plan to hire a Recycling Coordinator which is part of the Master Plan. They need to take care of this before they start to get fined for not having this particular position. He was hopeful that the individual that fills the position is truly concerned with recycling and will actually make money for the county through this position. He thinks that one of the biggest resources out there is their waste line and much more can be recycled.

Mrs. Bonelli thanked Pete Hammond who was very instrumental along with Chairman Cheney in facilitating this. This was brought to her attention when she was Chair of the Physical Services and she worked with Mr. Cheney along with some members of the community. This was one of the steps that they felt they could pursue as far as looking at sustainable options for the way they address their lifestyle here in Orange County. She again wanted to thank Pete Hammond from Environmental Facilities and Legislator Cheney. She added that hopefully they would see their money some day since this is a particular position that was REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, February 4, 2016 57 applied for with a grant and they are to get 50% of it someday.

Mr. Cheney noted that this was initiated to be re-evaluated because the position did exist over ten years ago and it was filled and it was a valuable position. The position became vacant and then lost. When the discussions first began when Physical Services was chaired by Legislator Bonelli, she had the good foresight to say that this was something that needed to be pursued. He thanked the Legislative Body for including money in the budget this year to support this. He looked forward to getting money from the state and moving forward with a strong educational program to the residents of the county so that they can increase the amount of recycling thus reduce the cost of disposal of solid wastes that has to be trucked out of the county.

Mr. Berkman recalled when Bill Gunther was the Recycling Coordinator and he did a great job. He thought it was a mistake to eliminate that position and this was an excellent and corrective measure. The fact that it is state funded by half the amount is an extra bonus. We all know we can do a better job and this is the right thing to do to get valuable products out of the garbage stream. He mentioned that coincidentally, he was trying to recycle a television set today and he had a hard time doing it. There used to be a store that took them but now there is a $25.00 fee. We need to keep a good eye on these things to make sure they serve the public to make it convenient for them to dispose of items rather than make it expensive because if that happens then we’ll start seeing garbage on the streets.

Mr. Eachus advised Mr. Berkman that the transfer stations take the first television for free and then $15.00 for every one after that. He reminded Chairman Brescia about the Green Committee.

Chairman Brescia responded to Mr. Eachus that he did not forget, it was coming and is to be announced.

Mr. Paduch shared that the Town of Wallkill takes as many televisions, VCRs at their DPW station and takes care of it for you for free.

Mr. Berkman thanked everyone for the helpful information.

RESOLUTION NO. 39 OF 2016

RESOLUTION CONFIRMING THE REAPPOINTMENT OF STEVEN M. GROSS AS COMMISSIONER OF THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES FOR THE COUNTY OF ORANGE BY THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE, PURSUANT TO SECTION 10.01 OF THE ORANGE COUNTY CHARTER AND SECTION 15(1)(b) OF THE NEW YORK STATE CIVIL SERVICE LAW.

WHEREAS, Honorable Steven M. Neuhaus, County Executive, has notified the County Legislature that he has reappointed Steven M. Gross, Town of Greenville, as Commissioner of the Orange County Department of Human Resources, for a six-year term pursuant to Article X, Section 10.01 of the Orange County Charter and Section 15(1)(b) of the New York State Civil Service Law. Said appointment is effective April 10, 2016.

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby

RESOLVED, that said reappointment be and the same hereby is confirmed.

Seconded by Mr. Vero.

Ms. Bonacic stated that it has been a pleasure since day one when Steve stepped into the position. She added that from her observation when Mr. Gross first came to committee, of course he was a bit nervous at first but it was like the position was made for him and he stepped right into the role and he is a pleasure to work with. She appreciates all of his hard work and he has always gotten right back to her and she was sure that is how he is with everyone. She wished Mr. Gross the best of luck.

Mr. Amo mentioned that he along with many others, is pleased to work with Steve and he has known him for a long time. Unlike Ms. Bonacic he was surprised he lasted 3 days and now he is going on his second term. In all his years working with State Government and working with New York State Department of Social Services, he knows how complicated the system really is and if there is one person who really makes it look easy, that is Steve Gross. He complimented Mr. Gross for being a quick learner and a “real pro.” He hoped that everyone would support it.

Mrs. Bonelli recalled meeting Steve Gross back when Joe Rampe was the County Execu- tive. She noted that he was always an engaging man and she has watched him grow in the various positions he held in Orange County. When he took the position as Commissioner of Human Resources, it was quite an accomplishment for him and quite a challenge. Throughout these years that they have worked together with this Legislature and previous executive teams REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, March 3, 2016 83 and this executive team, his professionalism and practical approach to the job has made him an excellent commissioner for this position. She has seen him interact with municipalities and it is remarkable how he helps them. He oversees not only all of the employees here in Orange County but also all of the employees in the municipalities. She congratulated Mr. Gross and looked forward to working with him in the future.

Mr. Canterino noted that when he sat on the Goshen Town Board he and Mr. Gross did not always see eye to eye on certain issues. The whole process has come full circle and he gave Steve all the recognition that he deserved.

Mr. Paduch stated that the county has been through a lot these past few years with so many different things such as the incentive programs. When he was Chairman of the Personnel and Compensation Committee, Steve was exceptional. During that entire time Steve was always so cordial to him and always with a smile. There was a difficult time when they needed to fight to get permission to talk to department heads but those days are long gone and he was happy that Mr. Gross was with them and he welcomed his help and support anytime he needs it.

Mr. Berkman recalled when Mr. Gross was first appointed to this post because he was like a utility player because he can be a commissioner or a director just about anywhere because Mr. Gross has a lot of institutional knowledge and an outstanding demeanor for public service. He recalled when Mr. Gross was first appointed as Commissioner of Human Resources he joked with him and said that after all these years of hard work he is finally being rewarded with a “piece of cake” kind of a job, boy was he wrong! He has been busy, busy, busy. He was making fun of himself for getting it so wrong. Mr. Berkman thanked him for being such and outstanding public servant and a service to the people of Orange County. He extended his regards to the Gross family.

Mr. Benton echoed everything that was stated. He remembers Mr. Gross dating back to his early years as a Legislator during the Rampe days. He recalled an experience he had last year when a friend of his had some questions regarding the early retirement incentive so he called Steve’s office and was informed he was on vacation. He asked if he was in town or out of town, he was told he was in town. So he took it upon himself to call Steve’s cell phone to get the correct information for his friend. When he spoke to Steve he told him to have that person call him, on her personal cell phone, and he would get them all of the correct information. That person did eventually take the early incentive and that is what he calls, “Going above and beyond.”

Chairman Brescia stated that Mr. Gross has been with the county as long as he has been. As Mr. Berkman mentioned, Steve has been a utility player. He is very professional, meticulous to detail, never rude and he really does his research. He recalled Steve taking his picture back in 1989 with Joe Rampe at Wesley Hall Senior Center in Montgomery. He looked forward to Steve serving another term and he didn’t think they could find anyone better.

Ayes 19; Noes 0; Absent 2; ADOPTED.

Chairman Brescia called up Commissioner Gross to say a few words along with his family. Mr. Gross thanked everyone for the kind words and support. He thanked County Executive 84 REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, March 3, 2016

Neuhaus and Harry Porr for putting the nomination forward and appreciated the opportunity to continue to serve the County. They have done a lot of great things; they settled all of their collective bargaining agreements and made great strides with Civil Service and promoting opportunities for everybody. He thanked Mark Lopez from the union along with all of the other union professionals for all of the great working relationships they have had through the years. He thanked members of his staff that were present, Diane Nunziata and Diane Hayden. He added that we are only as good as the team around us and noted he has a great team and is very fortunate and grateful for all the professionals they have in Human Resources. He concluded by stating most of all, he is most grateful and thankful for his family, Ryan, Anthony, Val and his father Hank.

Seconded by Mr. Vero.

Mr. Turnbull was pleased to see the resolution. It seems like yesterday there was a problem with transportation for Veterans. They told Mr. Farrell that when it comes to Veterans they shouldn’t have any cuts and they shouldn’t alter transportation because they should get Veterans what they need. When it comes to Veterans Services in Orange County they should strive to be number one in New York State.

Mr. Eachus gave kudos to Christian Farrell because this is something that he asked about months ago and he is aware that there is a huge process to go through and he battled until he got it. Mr. Farrell deserves all the credit for this and he also thanked County Executive Neuhaus for allowing this to move forward. He felt it would solve a lot of the problems. He attends all of the coalition meetings and American Legion meetings so he feels it will be the solution. He thanked Mr. Farrell again and said that the Vets should know what he has done.

Mr. Cheney was happy to see the resolution today as well. In the beginning of 2014 the van service provided to the Veterans to take them to the VA hospitals at Castle Point and the Bronx was drastically reduced by removing two routes that were making stops in the perimeter geographic areas of the county. Weekday service was maintained along the I-84 corridor resulting in Veterans, many aged, infirm and not able to drive, having to find a way to get to one of the central locations. Adding these two courier positions will allow for the return of two routes that serve the outer areas of the county and return service to the pre-2014 level. He thanked the Veterans’ Service Agency and the County Executive office for making this a reality. He especially wanted to thank members of the Warwick American Legion Post 214 who made him aware of the reduction in service and how negatively it impacted them. He was persistent in keeping their issue at the forefront of the discussions with the Veterans’ Service Agency and the County Executive’s office. He also wanted to commend the Warwick Legion Post and other local Veterans’ organizations around the county for their efforts over the past two years to provide rides to their fellow Veterans to get them to the central stops and for their advocacy on this issue.

RESOLUTION NO. 40 OF 2016

RESOLUTION MAKING AN APPROPRIATION TO THE 2016 ORANGE COUNTY BUDGET FOR THE ORANGE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS SERVICE AGENCY, PURSUANT TO SECTION 4.09 OF THE ORANGE COUNTY CHARTER.

WHEREAS, this Legislature does wish to provide funds to the Orange County Department of Veterans Service Agency in the amount of $32,000.00 to create two (2) part-time positions for Courier Drivers to drive Orange County Veterans Vans, transporting veterans to VA Medical Centers at Castle Point and the Bronx and return for necessary medical treatment. Additionally, these drivers would handle food deliveries to recipients of the Orange County Veterans Food Pantry. These additional positions are necessitated by an escalating demand due to increased ridership and additions to the list of food pantry recipients, and the subsequent impact on available man hours permitted for the department’s existing staff.

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby

RESOLVED, that the 2016 budget for the Orange County Department of Veterans Service Agency is hereby supplemented as stated above and as indicated below to create two (2) part- time positions for Courier Drivers; and it is further

RESOLUTION NO. 41 OF 2016

RESOLUTION APPROVING THE ORANGE COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE 2015 MASTER PLAN.

WHEREAS, in April 2013, the Orange County Legislature authorized the update to the Orange County Community College Master Plan. In October 2014, JMZ Architects was retained to prepare a Master Plan Update for the College. The Master Plan presents the current conditions of College facilities and recommends capital improvements that may be required. The update enables the College and its sponsors to identify current needs and anticipate long-range capital improvements that may be required; and

WHEREAS, by identifying current conditions, the Master Plan will guide the College in its mission to provide high-quality and accessible educational and enrichment opportunities that foster lifelong learning to the Community it serves and provide a basis for state funding. The Master Plan identifies projects that will have the greatest impact and maximum benefit to the College Community by focusing on supporting academic programs and advancing the College’s efforts to recruit students, retain students and help students complete their goals; and

WHEREAS, the timeframe for the Master Plan is ten years. Approval of the Master Plan does not commit the County to any specific projects but will serve as a guide for improving the physical facilities at Orange County Community College and permit the College to make decisions that will maximize the strategic use of resources.

NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby

RESOLVED, that the Orange County Community College 2015 Master Plan is hereby approved.

Seconded by Mr. Vero.

Mr. Berkman stated that the resolution presented some difficulties for him because he liked to balance interests because he would like to be as supportive as he can to Orange County Community College because it has a piece of his heart, growing up across the street, taking classes there and teaching there at well at various times. He doesn’t have an issue with most of the plans in the facilities master plan; he has an issue with some but not all of them. He has a specific problem and would be pleased to have a conversation with President Young regarding the process and about how the Legislature was not part of the process until now; the community at large also. We have an opportunity if any one of these parts of the plan comes to fruition; we certainly will be involved at that point in a major way. He was going to swallow the problem and support the resolution basically on the faith of the President and the new administration. He concluded by suggesting that it is a good idea to present the plan to city governments, town government and the neighborhood.

Chairman Brescia pointed out that Dr. Young reached out to him and she is looking to enhance the communication channels. It is important that they pass this so that they get the reimbursement from the state on future capital projects. He was sure that they would do a few 88 REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, March 3, 2016 of them.

RESOLUTION NO. 51 OF 2016

RESOLUTION OF THE ORANGE COUNTY LEGISLATURE, NEW YORK IN SUP- PORT OF ENLARGED CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT OF MIDDLETOWN’S REQUEST FOR A WAIVER OF FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION’S REGULATIONS AT 47 C.F.R. § 64.1601(b) REGARDING CALLING PARTY NUMBERS.

WHEREAS, there is no greater shared community concern than ensuring that our children be able to attend their public schools in an environment where they feel safe and secure to pursue their educational goals and life ambitions; and

WHEREAS, the Middletown School District is a public school district which serves all of the city of Middletown, as well as portions of the towns of Wallkill, Wawayanda and Goshen encompassing a student body of almost 7,500 students and a workforce of administrators, faculty, and staff totaling approximately 700 individuals; and

WHEREAS, as a result of over a dozen “swatting” phone calls, the Enlarged City School District of Middletown (“Middletown School District or District”) has petitioned the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) for a limited waiver of Section 64.1601(b) of FCC rules; and

WHEREAS, school districts throughout New York State and the nation are experiencing unparalleled challenges to public safety including unspeakable tragedies and continued threats of violence against children, staff and parents; and

WHEREAS, local Orange County school districts, including Middletown, recently have been victimized by threatening, obscene and harassing phone calls including bomb and active shooter threats; and

WHEREAS, these “swatting” phone calls have caused building lock-downs that traumatize REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, March 3, 2016 97

students, parents and staff, and disrupt vital instruction time and diminish the feeling of safety necessary to maintain and enhance a positive and nurturing learning environment;

WHEREAS, since June 2015, the Middletown School District has received twelve active shooter and bomb threats from restricted calling party numbers (CPNs);

WHEREAS, FCC regulations protect privacy interests of CPNS wishing to remain anony- mous by allowing a privacy option to allow callers to restrict the transmission of their telephone numbers; and

WHEREAS, parties placing threatening or harassing calls often use the CPN privacy indicator to prevent authorities from identifying them or their location; and

WHEREAS, the FCC recognizes that in certain limited circumstances, the public interest and public safety, especially when it concerns public schools and the safety of our children, requires that a waiver be issued.1

WHEREAS, the purpose of this requested FCC waiver is to assist the school district and law enforcement officials in their pursuit of justice by identifying the source or sources of these injurious criminal acts and to deter further threats.

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY

RESOLVED, that the Orange County Legislature acknowledges the compelling need for immediate action by Federal Communications Commission and our Federal and State officials to ensure the safety of our schools and our communities; and

RESOLVED, that the Orange County Legislature does hereby call upon the Federal Com- munications Commission (FCC) to seriously consider the immediate nature of the problem facing the Enlarged City School District of Middletown (“Middletown School District or District”) by cooperating with their request for a limited waiver; and

RESOLVED, that the Orange County Legislature calls upon the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to immediately act upon the legitimate request by the Enlarged City School District of Middletown (“Middletown School District or District”) for a limited waiver of 47 C.F.R. Section 64.1601(b); and

RESOLVED, that granting the requested limited waiver helps the district to better protect the public in the special circumstance identified in the application submitted which amply justifies this waiver application; and

RESOLVED, that a certified copy of this resolution be sent to the Federal Communica- tions Commission (FCC), Enlarged City School District of Middletown (“Middletown School District or District”), the Orange County School Boards Association, to U.S. Senators Charles E. Schumer and Kristen E. Gillibrand, U.S. Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney, and to each New York state senator and assemblyperson whose district includes Orange County.

Seconded by Mr. Vero.

Mr. Berkman thanked Antoinette Reed for cleaning up the resolution he provided. He also thanked Dr. Eastwood in the Middletown Board of Education for supplying the information and working so diligently to correct the very serious problem that his school district is facing, and other school districts, just not to the same degree this time around. He added that Legislator Sullivan suggested having a copy of the resolution, upon passage, sent to the Orange County School Board Association as well to the Middletown School District. Passing a resolution doesn’t fix the problem and we all know that, but it does provide the opportunity to assist a community in need and he thought that was meaningful. We join with the City of Middletown, the school board, the Town of Wallkill, and now we added our voice along with the County Executive as well. Hopefully this siege against our schools will be stopped. He thanked everyone for their support.

Mr. Eachus stated that there is a need for this for all school districts. He was in support of this and hoped that the FCC would look at this across the board. He personally was going to introduce this at a board meeting in his school district.

Chairman Brescia mentioned that this came up in caucus last night and it was brought up in committee as well. He thanked Mr. Berkman for bringing this forward and noted that it is a serious issue in Orange County. The County Executive met with Leadership earlier at another meeting and it was brought to their attention then. He never heard of “swatting” before and it is very serious and the parents, the students and the teachers in the Middletown School District are traumatized by this. Chairman Brescia questioned if they were number one in the nation?

Mr. Berkman responded that they were certainly number one in the state but others have said the nation.

Chairman Brescia concluded that anything they can do as a legislative body, they will. Their thoughts and prayers go out to all the families, teachers and the entire community in Wallkill.

The vote resulted as follows:

Ayes: Bonacic, Turnbull, Amo, Benton, Berkman, Bonelli, Canterino, Cheney, Dillard, DiSalvo, Eachus, Faggione, Hines, Kemnitz, Kulisek, Paduch, Ruszkiewicz, Vero, Brescia

Ayes 19; Noes 0; Absent 2; ADOPTED.

ADJOURNED. Jean M. Ramppen, Clerk REGULAR MEETING - Friday, April 8, 2016 99 REGULAR SESSION

Friday, April 8, 2016

The Legislature convened in Special Session at 10:00 a.m. today.

Chairman Brescia welcomed the students and thanked Legislator Katie Bonelli for running the Mock Session. He thanked the young men and woman for participating and noted that the Social Host law was a very interesting topic for them to discuss and pointed out that the Legislators debated the same issues and questions they had. The Legislature was prepared to allocate $20,000 for the law but the County Executive and the District Attorney assured the Legislature that they can find the money in their budget this year to get the message out. The County Executive, himself and the District Attorney did a “Code Red” in the Town and Village of Montgomery and it will go out to 4,100 phones so they are getting the message out because it is an important law. He thanked the participants once again and added they did a great job.

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

On roll call, all members were present with the exception of Legislators Berkman and Dillard who were absent.

Chairman Brescia, with the County Executive, called on Nadia Allen, Debbie DeJong, Stacy Orzell and Jason Orzell who were presented with a proclamation for Autism Awareness Month.

Ms. DeJong stated that she was there to acknowledge April as Autism Awareness Month. She thanked the Legislature and County Executive Neuhaus for their support. Over 12 years ago the Mental Health Association began a movement called the Autism Move-A-Thon of Orange County which was started from a group of parents whose mission was to create awareness of autism. The statistics are 1 out of 68 individual children are diagnosed with Autism, 1 out of 50 boys in particular are diagnosed. They are fortunate to have a group of dedicated parents to make it their mission to create awareness and to raise funds.

Mrs. Orzell stated that their mock organization has been in operation for 12 years and this was their 13th year. She worked with New York State to create a “Learn the signs campaign” and she held up a poster of her son Eric who has Autism. The signs are hung up in many locations throughout the county to help raise awareness and help a family that might be unsure if a child has a flag for an autism spectrum diagnosis. She introduced her 12 year old son Jason who read a brief statement regarding his family’s personal experience with his brother Eric who has autism.

Chairman Brescia, County Executive Steven M. Neuhaus and Independence Party Leader, Michael Amo, presented a proclamation to Nadia Allen, Executive Director of the Mental Health Association in recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

Ms. Allen thanked the Legislature, the County Executive and the District Attorney’s Office for their support. They have an entire staff for the Rape Crisis Program and they are available for 24/7 365 days a year are responding to the needs of survivors and the families. It is about a job promoting woman’s justice and they do incredible work.

Mr. Amo stated that when he joined the board back in 1985, he was on the Mental Health Association and President in the 1990’s. When they began this program they struggled for one person to work and respond to the calls. There was a lack of resources they had in terms 100 REGULAR MEETING - Friday, April 8, 2016 of trying to meet women in the emergency room and being able to handle it and to see it come this far is spectacular. He congratulated the Mental Health Association and for Ms. Allen’s leadership because it is such an important issue.

County Executive Neuhaus thanked the Legislature for backing him 100% last year in funding the Rape Crisis Center as well as Safe Homes because Orange County’s funding was cut. They were able to fill that gap in the middle of last year and they also put it in the budget and it wasn’t even a topic that came from anyone and not one debate. He was happy that they could work as a team on that. There was recently an article that West Point and some of the service academies had an increase in sexual assaults which is obviously a negative thing. He confirmed with Ms. Allen that one out of twenty-five students were victims of assault. However, the positive part is the awareness and accommodating survivors many wouldn’t come forward but now they have created and continue to create the climate that it’s okay to ask for help and its ok to try to help and stop what is going on. Last year when the funding was cut and they were going to shut down the Rape Crisis Center a few days a week and even on the weekend. If there was to be an assault then that victim or the survivor would not have anyone to help them. Imagine the police or the emergency responders that come not having the support and education on how to treat the patient who was just a victim of sexual assault. They are heading in a positive direction.

County Executive Neuhaus, Chairman Brescia and Legislators Cheney, Ruszkiewicz and Vero presented a proclamation to Suzyn Barron, President of the Warwick Humane Society, along with Michelle Little and Warwick Town Councilman, Floyd DeAngelo, recognizing April as Prevention of Animal Cruelty Month.

Chairman Brescia and County Executive Neuhaus called on Laurence LaDue, Administra- tor for Valley View, Legislator Phil Canterino, Elizabeth Rowley, President and CEO of the Community Foundation and Pat O’Dwyer. County Executive Neuhaus explained that what this will do is bring in extra support for Valley View from people in the community that have extra assets and it is a wonderful direction the entire county has taken in the past 12-18 months. He added that about a month ago they met with every shift as they have a 24 hour operation and went from 7 a.m. to midnight and hit about 5 different shifts. They were able to talk back and forth directly with the employees and what is on their mind, what direction the county is taking. The Legislature and Department Heads are responsible for making that happen with Laurence LaDue in the front of it. County Executive Neuhaus pointed out and joked that Chairman Brescia looked a little funny because last weekend he shaved his hair with the help from a few Legislators for the St. Baldwicks cause which raises money for cancer. These are the types of things that help make a major difference in Valley View. They talked about domestic violence, awareness with animal cruelty but these are positive things that make a difference. People like Jason Orzell who can talk from the heart about Autism and the many men and women present today who made a difference to help the men and women who are patients at Valley View.

Chairman Brescia pointed out that Councilman George Lyons was there today with his wife Peggy and they are big proponents of Valley View and for the cause along with Pat O’Dwyer. Mr. LaDue thanked Peggy, George and Pat because they are tremendous supporters and friends of Valley View and on behalf of the residents we are thrilled to sign this document which gives the right for Valley View to raise funds and this will benefit the residents of Valley View.

Mrs. O’Dwyer mentioned that if there were people who want to help them get started, they are friends of Valley View and the Community Foundation has taken them in. They have a vehicle in order to be able to raise these funds to do and give some things to the residents that they cannot have through the administrative or capital budget. The first thing they are going to do is they are going to have a prom. There are residents who did not have a prom and they REGULAR MEETING - Friday, April 8, 2016 101 think that they should have their prom. They are hoping to have young men and women can be the escorts for the residents who didn’t have a prom. She asked if anyone wanted to contribute for corsages and boutonnieres to please do so.

Ms. Rowley stated that they manage and administer all different types of charitable funds in Orange and Sullivan County. They are there to help anyone who has a charitable intent or a goal; they can set up a private foundation or non-profit organization through their organization just like they did for Valley View.

County Executive Neuhaus and Mr. LaDue signed the agreement.

Mr. Eachus recognized Mr. Cooper for his service to our country in the Navy. He noted that according to Mr. Cooper’s resume, he felt that he would have a difficult time supporting him for the Ethics Board. He hoped that everyone did their homework.

Mr. Turnbull stated that it has been brought to his attention that perhaps the Board of Ethics is out of balance. There are supposed to be three appointments by the County Executive and three by the Chairman of the Legislature and one should be “other than.” He encouraged the Chairman to look at this and let him know whether or not this information was accurate.

Chairman Brescia explained that there are three appointments by the Chairperson of the Legislature, he asked for one from the Minority Leader, which is Matt Turnbull, another from the Majority Leader and he made one as Chairman which was a reappointment, and the Ethics Board chose Gail Sicina as the 7th member. He feels comfortable with the appointment he put forward.

Mrs. Bonelli reminded everyone that they revised the Ethics Law which became effective on January 1 this year. The make-up of the Board of Ethics was changed and it is three from the Executive Branch, three from the Legislative Branch and those six people are the ones who pick the seventh individual. It was her understanding that those six people picked Gail Sicina who was previously the Chair of the Board of Ethics and will remain as the Chair.

Mr. DiSalvo shared that in addition to Mr. Cooper’s impressive resume he is an outstanding man and he suggested that if anyone had any doubt he advised them to reach out to Mr. Cooper and you will find out he is an outstanding citizen.

RESOLUTION NO. 53 OF 2016

RESOLUTION OF THE ORANGE COUNTY LEGISLATURE IN SUPPORT OF SEN- ATE BILL NO. 6683 AND ASSEMBLY BILL NO. 9455 AN ACT TO AMEND THE PENAL LAW, IN RELATION TO THE SALE AND POSSESSION OF FIREWORKS IN CERTAIN CITIES.

WHEREAS, New York State Session Laws of 2014, Chapter 477 (S7888) entitled “Crimes and Offenses – Fireworks” amended the State Penal Law, the Executive Law, and the General Business Law with the intent to modernize the statute dealing with illegal fireworks, provide additional definitions of what constitutes fireworks and dangerous fireworks and remove certain novelty devices, which are not recognized as fireworks by the federal government, out of the definition of fireworks; and

WHEREAS, Orange County adopted Local Law No. 1 of 2015, entitled “A LOCAL LAW TO AUTHORIZE THE SALE AND USE OF SPARKLING DEVICES”, thereby allowing the sale and use of sparkling devices in Orange County. The intent of the legislation is to allow the sale of novelty devices within the county as another means of stirring the economy and increasing sales tax; and

WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 241 of 2015, this Legislature requested the New York State Legislature to amend this law so that the cities in Orange County would have the authority to opt out of the County law. New York Senate Bill No. 6683 and Assembly Bill No. 9455 does just that. It provides the following amendment:

“(C) NOTWITHSTANDING PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SUBDIVISION, ANY CITY WHOLLY CONTAINED WITHIN THE COUNTY OF ORANGE MAY ENACT A LOCAL LAW TO INCLUDE “SPARKLING DEVICE” WITH THE DEFINITIONS OF “FIREWORKS” AND “DANGEROUS FIREWORKS” AS DEFINED IN SECTION 270.00 OF THIS CHAP- TER, NOTWITHSTANDING ANY LOCAL LAW ENACTED BY SUCH COUNTY THAT AUTHORIZES THE EXEMPTION OF “SPARKING DEVICE” FROM SUCH DEFINITION”; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT

RESOLVED, that We, the Orange County Legislature support Senate Bill No. 6683 and Assembly Bill No. 9455 amending Penal Law Section 405.00 subdivision 5 which authorizes cities wholly contained within Orange County to enact local laws including “sparkling devices” within the definitions of “fireworks” and “dangerous fireworks” as defined by New York State Penal Law Section 207.00; and

RESOLVED, that the Clerk of the Legislature is hereby directed to send a certified copy of this resolution to the Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo, Governor of the State of New York, to mayor and police chief for the cities of Middletown, Newburgh and Port Jervis, and to each REGULAR MEETING - Friday, April 8, 2016 105

New York State Senator and Assemblyperson whose district includes portions of the three cities of Orange County.

Seconded by Mr. Vero.

Mr. Eachus stated that he had no problem with the resolution and he hoped that the cities would take advantage of this. As everyone knows, he represents the Town of New Windsor and they had problems but they decided that they were going to solve their own problems through education. We as a county still need to do education. He pleaded that at the borders of the county, on the major roads, we put up signs like the temporary signs that say fireworks are illegal in Orange County.

Mr. Turnbull agreed with Mr. Eachus and added that last year it was like a war zone in the area where he lives in Hamptonburgh. There is a mystery to the law and it is important that they let the people of Orange County know that we did not make regular fireworks legal in the county.

Chairman Brescia concurred with both the comments made and mentioned that Phantom Fireworks plans to attend the Public Safety and Emergency Services Committee this month and hopefully the municipalities will get Code Reds out as to what is allowed and what is not allowed in Orange County.

RESOLUTION NO. 55 OF 2016

RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING MAY 4, 2016 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 Declara- tion 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 Syria, Armenia, Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia, Kosovo, Darfur and others - and to explore wider issues of prejudice, hatred, discrimination and community cohesion throughout the world.

WHEREAS, it is most appropriate and fitting to recall the words of United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon that “the memory of the Holocaust is a powerful reminder of what can happen when we stop seeing our common humanity. On this day of Holocaust remembrance, I urge everyone to denounce political and religious ideologies that set people against people. Let us all speak out against anti-Semitism and attacks against religious, ethnic or other groups. Let us create a world where dignity is respected, diversity is celebrated, and peace is permanent.” 1

1 U.N. Secretary General Bank Ki-moon’s 2015 Message in remembrance of the Holocaust. REGULAR MEETING - Friday, April 8, 2016 107

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY

RESOLVED, that the Orange County Legislature recognizes May 4, 2016, 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. Vero.

Mr. Turnbull stated that his esteemed colleague Jeff Berkman couldn’t be with them today due to family matters but he asked him to thank the Chairman and the Legislature for the resolution and it was appreciated.

Mr. Eachus added that the day of recognition is on May 4th and for the students there who do not know, it is about remembrance of the Holocaust. He found it interesting that the United States Attorney General Bank Ki-moon at the time that they accepted this said let’s all speak out about anti-Semitism and attacks against religious, ethnic and other groups. He felt that is important in today’s world and he hoped that everyone would take a moment on May 4 to think about that.

Mr. Amo was happy that they were doing this and he thanked Mr. Berkman for putting this out. He asked if they could imagine if the remarks read by the previous speaker the last sentence said, “let’s create a county where dignity is respected, diversity is celebrated and peace is permanent.”

WHEREAS, the Orange County Department of Finance is requesting funding in the amount of $75,000.00 from budgeted contingency funds to address bankruptcy matters facing Orange County.

Mr. Eachus was hesitant on the resolution and noted that he is not a member of the Physical Services or Ways and Means Committees, however, the idea of purchasing new equipment to allow non-county employees to drive and use doesn’t seem like it is working out in our favor. He was curious if anyone on the committee took a look to see if the purchases were unusual in the sense that the people that they contract with and they subcontract with are not abusing our equipment. He thought that this would be the perfect opportunity to slowly move out of the business of supplying equipment to other companies to use. He planned to vote for it because he assumed his fellow Legislators looked into it. He added that he has always said that the idea of subcontracting out our waste disposal to other companies needs to be looked into.

Mr. Cheney shared that the committee did investigate and discuss with Mr. Hammond and Mr. Viebrock the necessity for all the items and felt it was justified so both committees voted unanimously to move it forward to the Legislature.

Mr. Turnbull stated that he planned to vote for this today but the information dribbles in. He is on both committees, Physical Services and Ways and Means so there is additional information that comes in the next day. One of the things they found out was the square footage of the building was 20,000 square feet and with his calculations $9 million appropriated for the project is about $450 per square foot which seems to be a lot of money for a building that isn’t heated, no air conditioning. It doesn’t have a lot of things. He spoke with Mr. Benton before the meeting began and he was informed that there are a lot of specialty applications and it is mandated and there are also time restraints. He wanted to know why the estimate is so high although he will support it.

Mr. Eachus thanked Mr. Anagnostakis who helped him get the resolution through the Health and Mental Health committee. He also extended thanks to the Legislators who made amendments to the resolution so hopefully it will pass with a unanimous vote. He apologized to anyone who might be offended by the term, “disorder” but he explained that it is PTSD and that is the proper title for it.

Mr. Amo mentioned that this went before the Human Services committee as well and he thought it was fair for the record to mention that they read carefully, along with Mr. Anagnostakis who reviewed and researched the effective use for PTSD. What they do know is there are more questions than answers but they believe, which is why they voted for it and he hoped everyone else would too, they believe it needs more research and needs to proceed farther because this is a horrific syndrome to deal with so they need to do it the best way possible.

Mrs. Sullivan stated that as a member of the Human Services Committee, she brought up a concern on the day of committee which was although she is happy they are getting the funds the resolution is asking to appropriate a raise to the direct care workers. She spoke to Ms. Maglione about this and she mentioned to her that she had some complaints from senior citizens who live in her district who asked if they could lower their portion of the cost. She asked if they can take this money and apply it to the cost of the senior citizens rather than give the direct care workers a raise. If they can reduce that cost in anyway then why not try. She gave the name of that senior citizen to Ms. Maglione so she doesn’t know if she discussed it with her.

Mrs. Reed commented that the grant funds come from New York State and they dictate how the money is to be spent. If there was any discretion the best individual to speak to would be the director and they should not take it upon themselves to violate the guidelines or the grant requirements by changing where those monies can be allocated to.

Mrs. Sullivan asked if the director would have the discretion to do that? 148 REGULAR MEETING - Friday, April 8, 2016

Mrs. Reed advised Mrs. Sullivan that she did not know and that Ms. Maglione would know the guidelines for accepting the grant.

Mrs. Sullivan asked fellow Legislators if anyone was interested in tabling the resolution until they find out for sure.

Chairman Brescia disagreed with the suggestion and didn’t feel it was a good idea to table it. He added the Mr. Amo could get the answers at the next Human Services meeting.

Mr. Amo commented that he will have Ms. Maglione bring that to committee. He thought it would be a shame to put aside valuable resources for the hard working care givers that they have although Mrs. Sullivan’s point was well taken and perhaps there was a way that they can do both.

Mrs. Diana-Smith who was in the audience clarified that it is a pot of money that is coming from the government and it is specific to the direct care worker. The state tells them what it is to be used for so they don’t have the discretion.

Mrs. Sullivan commented that as long as we were sure there is no discretion and it is specific to the direct care worker, she was satisfied with the answer.

“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 AND THE OFFICE OF JUSTICE PRO- GRAMS IN SUPPORT OF H.R. 4654 ‘KEEPING COMMUNITIES SAFE THROUGH TREATMENT ACT OF 2016.’”

Seconded by Mr. Vero.

Mr. Canterino stated that after reviewing the resolution and the proposed bill, he did support it but felt that they can strengthen it and make sure it does what it is intended to do. There are a few issues of clarification such as the mention of low level drug crimes and low level offenders engaged in drug activity and then it allows the law enforcement officer to make the determination. He doesn’t know what a low level drug activity is and he didn’t know if that included the drug dealer or a distributor. This law is directed at getting help and sending the drug users to facilities that would help them overcome their addiction. There might be drug dealers that distribute the drugs that do not need to go to the facilities although not specified in the law. He added that it was unclear what violent felony offenders are. He felt it wasn’t time sensitive and would like to help the bill move along. They have only had this for two or three days and they should take some time to strengthen the bill. 152 REGULAR MEETING - Friday, April 8, 2016

Mrs. Sullivan interrupted and asked to have a moment to introduce the bill. She was pleased to see District Attorney and local police chiefs gathered to show support for Congress- man Maloney’s law Keeping Communities Safe Through The Treatment Act of 2016. The new mentality, which has already been implemented in other states, treats drug addiction as an illness, both physically and mentally, that leads to crime. For so long they all thought locking up drug addicts actually works. Not only is it not smart but it wastes so much of the taxpayers money, which was a quote, not a direct quote, in the newspaper from the District Attorney. He pointed out that a facility can help a drug addict overcome their addiction and would be cheaper than locking that person up, letting them back into society and then to go back in. She was happy to applaud the effort and she was proud to present the memorialization to everyone so that along with the District Attorney’s office and along with the local law enforcement, send a message that they stand behind Congressman Maloney in his response to the growing heroin and opiate epidemic which affects every single county resident regardless of age or socioeconomic status.

Chairman Brescia mentioned that there were five Legislators there for the press confer- ence and he felt there would be a lot of support for this but since it is not a time sensitive issue as Mr. Canterino suggested it go back to committee.

Mr. Canterino was in total agreement with the bill but he didn’t want it left up to interpre- tation and doesn’t want the law enforcement officer out on the street making decisions on drug dealers. The bill that Congressman Maloney wrote does not specifically talk about dealers but it mainly addressed helping the drug addicts. He didn’t want to see the dealers being sent to a facility. It doesn’t address it and he wants to help Congressman Maloney clarify this although he knows the intent. He doesn’t think it has been looked at clearly and wanted to avoid misinterpretation.

Mr. Canterino requested to table Agenda Item No. 43, 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 CON- GRESS AND THE OFFICE OF JUSTICE PROGRAMS IN SUPPORT OF H.R. 4654 “KEEPING COMMUNITIES SAFE THROUGH TREATMENT ACT OF 2016,” and refer back to Rules, Enactments and Intergovernmental Relations and Public Safety and Emergency Services Committees, seconded by Mr. Amo.

Mr. Kulisek noted the epidemic has been building for many years and many people thought it was an inner-city problem but it has made its way to the suburbs. It is a pilot program and it will be fully vetted before it becomes law and they should go ahead and show their support now. Mr. Amo stated that Mr. Canterino had many good points. They need to support the concept but are they prepared and do they have the capacity to handle this and how will they do it. These are questions that perhaps Darcie Miller can address. They should have the experts in this field look into it and then move forward. He didn’t think there was the urgency.

Mr. Hines mentioned that he was lucky enough to have time to speak with the District Attorney last night because he didn’t understand the law too much. He did state that no drug dealers will qualify for this. He advised everyone to keep in mind that this was a memorialization and they will not be able to change the federal law. Since it is a memorialization he was all for it. The District Attorney spoke to Congressman Maloney and said it was their intention to have a Pilot Program first and it won’t be countywide at first maybe start in one of the three cities. He learned that the police officer will not bring the person into custody into the police station, they will bring them into custody and right to the treatment facility so there won’t be judges involved or the District Attorney won’t be involved. That police officer says to the person either they are under arrest or they can go to a treatment facility. At that time they will need to sign a 30 day commitment basically saying they are in the custody of the REGULAR MEETING - Friday, April 8, 2016 153 treatment facility. If they say no or if they try to leave early then they get arrested and go through the system. The other component of this is who is going to pay for it and the District Attorney says that part of the bill has to include Medicaid to pick this up so there is another portion of this that hasn’t been introduced yet. Most of the people who get arrested for heroin and drug violations do not have health insurance unless they are under 26 and covered by their parents. Medicaid needs to pay for this before the bill gets implemented. There is plenty of time but there is no reason to delay it because it is a memorialization. Everyone realizes that Orange County has a growing drug population as Mr. Kulisek stated even outside the cities. He thought they should pass the memorialization today and pointed out that the federal government has a lot of work to do on this. Anyone can call Congressman Maloney or the District Attorney to discuss it with them.

Mrs. Bonelli echoed the sentiments made by Mr. Hines. She noted that it was a consent resolution and there was a concern how time sensitive it is and it was just introduced in the House of Representatives from what she understood. She had time to speak with the District Attorney and if she didn’t have that opportunity she isn’t sure if she would be prepared to vote today since it is not time sensitive. To send it back to committee will not change her mind and she was fully prepared to vote on it today because she got all the answers to the questions she had from the District Attorney.

Mr. Canterino spoke to the District Attorney last night as well and still had questions but he is prepared to move forward and vote for it because of the concept but he thinks that they need to investigate this clearly. He added that the law enforcement officers do not have this type of training. He was the Commissioner of Police in Goshen and he knows they do not go through any of this training so for him to make a decision on what to do with a drug offender will be very important.

Mr. Canterino withdrew his motion to table. Mr. Amo did not withdraw his second.

Mr. Amo requested to table Agenda Item No. 43, 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 CON- GRESS AND THE OFFICE OF JUSTICE PROGRAMS IN SUPPORT OF H.R. 4654 “KEEPING COMMUNITIES SAFE THROUGH TREATMENT ACT OF 2016,” and refer back to Rules, Enactments and Intergovernmental Relations and Public Safety and Emergency Services Committees, seconded by Mr. Ruszkiewicz.

Mr. Ruszkiewicz explained that he was not opposed to the memorialization and he thought it was a good thing. His issue with it is the process in which it came to them. It didn’t need to be a consent resolution because there is no urgency time wise. He felt it could have gone to committee and questions could have been answered ahead of time and everyone could have had the chance to hear from the District Attorney. He spoke briefly to the District Attorney last night and he was comfortable with voting for this but he felt there were a time and a place for consent resolutions. The two previous consents were appropriate but this one he didn’t think was appropriate for consent resolution. He would rather send it back to committee but if they were to vote on it today he would support it.

Chairman Brescia stressed that he would appreciate these resolutions going before committee because he feels that in the next year and a half there may be a lot of consents and many of them can go to committee.

On roll call, Mr. Amo’s motion to refer the resolution back to the Rules, Enactments and Intergovernmental Relations and Public Safety and Emergency Services committees was defeated by the following vote: 154 REGULAR MEETING - Friday, April 8, 2016

The resolution as originally presented follows:

RESOLUTION NO. 91 OF 2016

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 AND THE OFFICE OF JUSTICE PRO- GRAMS IN SUPPORT OF H.R. 4654 “KEEPING COMMUNITIES SAFE THROUGH TREATMENT ACT OF 2016.”

WHEREAS, Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney, has introduced Bill H.R. 4654 “Keeping Communities Safe Through Treatment Act of 2016” in response to the growing heroin and opioid epidemic to stop mass incarceration of abusers and low-level drug offenders; and

WHEREAS, The “Keeping Communities Safe Through Treatment Act” seeks to create a Department of Justice grant program which would assist law enforcement agencies in providing pre-booking diversion programs developed with local drug treatment programs and local prosecutors to address low-level drug crimes. According to Congressman Maloney, “The program would allow law enforcement officers, at their discretion, to redirect low-level offenders engaged in drug activity to community-based services, instead of jail and prosecu- tion. By diverting eligible individuals to treatment services instead of incarceration, the programs would improve public safety and public order, and reduce the criminal behavior of people who participate in the program;” and

WHEREAS, this Legislature finds that the “Keeping Communities Safe Through Treat- ment Act” provides local law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies with another vehicle to combat drug addiction with the goal towards providing much needed resources to our local citizens, while reducing crime, the rate of recidivism and incarceration.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY

RESOLVED, WE, the Orange County Legislature, on behalf of the citizens of Orange County, hereby support the “Keeping Communities Safe Through Treatment Act” (H.R. 4654) and urge the United State Congress and the President of the United States to enact this legislation; 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 and United States Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney; 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 and to such other persons as the Clerk, in her discretion, may deem proper in order to effectuate the purpose of this resolution. REGULAR MEETING - Friday, April 8, 2016 155

Mr. Turnbull thought this was a step in the right direction. They have done similar laws in other states and they have been enacted long enough to see results. We need to start treating addiction as a sickness. He shared that many people know that he is a partially recovered person. He said that Legislator Sullivan said it was physical and mental but if you saw him on the basketball court you would know he recovered 100% physically but if you saw his perfor- mance as a Legislator you might question if I recovered 100% mentally. He is on the ADAC Board and had conversations with Mr. Conklin about this and if they are to put the money into allowing an addict to get recovery then the problem is there is a long line to get into recovery. It is like putting the cart before the horse. Recovery is typically, especially those addicted to opiates, is quite a process and rarely does the person not rescind. If they do not have a long term program to go into it is very unlikely that they will not end up going back. What makes this so challenging is that many people who work in this field, even those who are addicted, think it is about a decision. He personally went through a six year process and pointed out that he celebrated his 35th anniversary last St. Patrick’s Day. Sometimes it seems to him that the people who know the most about the problem are used the least. ADAC is the group that has been in the trenches and they really know about this and they are not very supportive of this although he is because he thinks it is a step in the right direction. He thinks New York lags in progressive solutions to this particular problem. He planned to vote for it because his hope is that this is a step in the right direction.

Seconded by Mr. Vero.

Mr. Paduch asked Mrs. Reed for clarification on the proposed law. He used the example of Middletown and stated that he represents the 1st Ward and Mr. Berkman represents the rest of Middletown. If Mr. Berkman were to give up his position as a Legislator, was it accurate to say that the entire city council, which also includes the 1st Ward which is in his district, would vote on his replacement.

Mrs. Reed confirmed he was correct. She added that the reason why Mr. Paduch used Mr. Berkman as an example was because his district encompasses the City of Middletown and no other municipalities so a weighted vote would be designated to each member of the City Council for the City of Middletown and then they would vote collectively.

Chairman Brescia added that if it was Mr. Paduch who resigned, the whole council would vote on Mr. Paduch’s vacancy but that weighted vote would be proportioned to what the 1st Ward is.

Mrs. Reed clarified that it would be based upon the population of the district based upon the totality of the entire Legislative District.

Mr. Berkman thanked Mr. Paduch for clearing up the issue but joked that he has no intentions of resigning.

“AN ACT TO ESTABLISH A NEW SALARY SCHEDULE THEREIN APPLICABLE TO ALL EMPLOYEES OF THE COUNTY OF ORANGE WHO ARE INCLUDED IN THE NEGOTIATING UNIT REPRESENTED BY THE ORANGE COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S CRIMINAL INVESTIGATORS ASSOCIATION, INC.”

Seconded by Mr. Vero.

Mr. Paduch mentioned that there were questions in committee and they received information today from Commissioner Gross; however, it was difficult to figure out the answers to the questions that were asked unless they discuss it with Mr. Gross. The raises that he saw with the break off union are way above what everyone else in the county is receiving. He wasn’t sure if that was what they were currently being paid but either way he would like to get clarification at the next committee meeting in regard to percentages compared to the 2011 CSEA salary rate and what the increase are for 2016 and 2017. In 2016 and 2017 it shows a significant jump. He wanted more clarification before he can support it although he agreed they need raises but would like a clearer picture.

Mr. Paduch requested that agenda Item No. 12, AN ACT TO ESTABLISH A NEW SALARY SCHEDULE THEREIN APPLICABLE TO ALL EMPLOYEES OF THE COUNTY OF ORANGE WHO ARE INCLUDED IN THE NEGOTIATING UNIT REPRESENTED BY THE ORANGE COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S CRIMINAL INVESTIGATORS ASSOCIATION, INC., be withdrawn from the agenda and sent back to Personnel and Compensation and Public Safety and Emergency Services Committees for one month, seconded by Mr. Turnbull.

Mrs. Reed pointed out to the Legislature that they just approved the previous agenda Item No. 11, which is the Memorandum of Agreement, and the schedule that they are now approving to be a part of the Orange County employee schedule was attached to the Memorandum of Agreement so they already approved the salary schedules.

Deputy County Executive Wayne Booth apologized that Mr. Gross wasn’t able to be there and unfortunately he didn’t have his negotiation packet with him. He brought attention to the fact that many of the members of the bargaining unit are retired police officers and act as police officers as investigators. Previous to the negotiation, one of the recent retirees with the CSEA contract did retire with an excess of $107,000. Since most of the members are retired police officers, all but three, they do not receive health benefits from the county, the county does not contribute to their retirement since they are already retired and they are not eligible for a buyout for benefits. He wanted to clarify that and added that there is a significant savings on those lines.

Mr. Eachus asked if the qualifications for the job indicate that they need to be a retired policeman.

Mr. Booth responded that he didn’t think they needed to be a retired policeman but they can be a policeman. He deferred to Representative Tom Reinle who was in the audience. REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, May 5, 2016 171

Mr. Reinle explained that the individual must have ten years of investigative experience prior and be a police officer so it was limited to the amount of people they can hire.

Chairman Brescia commented a police officer or a retired police officer and Mr. Reinle stressed that they must be an investigator for 10 years.

On roll call, Mr. Paduch’s motion to have the act withdrawn and referred back to the Personnel and Compensation and Public Safety and Emergency Services committees was defeated by the following vote:

Ayes: Turnbull, Berkman, Dillard, Eachus, Kemnitz, Kulisek, Paduch, Sullivan

“AN ACT AMENDING THE APPROPRIATE ORANGE COUNTY EMPLOYMENT SCHEDULES TO CREATE ‘DEPUTY COMMISSIONER, PROCUREMENT AND COMPLIANCE’ AT THE DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES, PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.02(l) OF THE ORANGE COUNTY CHARTER.”

Seconded by Mr. Vero. REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, May 5, 2016 173

Mrs. Sullivan noted that as a member of the Personnel and Compensation Committee she wanted to share that they had a lengthy discussion about this during committee and she also witnessed the same at the Ways and Means Committee meeting because there were similar questions and the same concerns. She didn’t see any change yet and wondered if they jumped the gun with this. The Commissioner made a good argument as to why he needed the new position but when asked why they were hiring at the top of the pay scale for the position the conversation was unclear. The answers they got seemed pretty good because they need to have an attorney in that position but then that begs the question, what does the job description entail, does it entail that an attorney must be put in that position and the answer was no. Having the experience that she has with hiring people and writing job descriptions and negotiating contracts, her experience tells her that if it is not in the job description but you are setting the salary schedule according to a necessary requirement then they need to change the job description. If it is a union position it could result in a grievance because of what the experience requirement is was not exactly what is described in the job description. She thought that it could create legal complications although it is a management position. Mrs. Sullivan added that she wanted to have this sent back to committees to change the job description.

Mrs. Sullivan requested that agenda Item No. 15, AN ACT AMENDING THE APPROPRIATE ORANGE COUNTY EMPLOYMENT SCHEDULES TO CREATE “DEPUTY COMMISSIONER, PROCUREMENT AND COMPLIANCE” AT THE DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL SERVICES, PURSUANT TO SECTION 2.02(l) OF THE ORANGE COUNTY CHARTER, be referred back to Personnel and Compensation and Ways and Means Committees, seconded by Mr. Turnbull.

Mr. Hines asked the same questions at the Ways and Means Committee and it was answered that it doesn’t have to be an attorney and the person who is getting the job is certainly the right person; that was made very clear to them by the County Attorney and the Commissioner of General Services. If they get the right person who isn’t an attorney the job can still work. The question was asked and answered and he was satisfied with the answers so if they send it back to committee they will probably get the same answers. It seems like it should be an attorney but at the same time it can be a non-attorney with tremendous experience which is what they were told.

Chairman Brescia stated that they discussed the language change in committee and it was thoroughly vetted.

On roll call, Ms. Sullivan’s motion to have the act withdrawn and referred back to the Personnel and Compensation and Ways and Means committees was defeated by the following vote:

Mr. Eachus shared his happiness in the method that the college used to go through the determination of how much money they needed and for what purpose. He was aware that there will be upgrades in the future. He has full confidence that this was going to take SUNY Orange right to the top. One of the deficits they have is their current technology and he knew that this was another way to tackle any kind of enrollment problems in the future. He thanked President Young and her entire staff.

Chairman Brescia concurred with Mr. Eachus and noted that the college would be receiving input from Commissioner Burpoe. 176 REGULAR MEETING - Thursday, May 5, 2016

Mrs. Kemnitz asked why it was partial reconstruction to Valley View Center Building and why it wasn’t more specific.

Mrs. Reed explained that the bond resolutions are drafted by bond counsel and they fit the language to meet the state finance law. They derive what would be the period of probable usefulness for the length of the term of the bonds and for this particular project it would be 15 years. In Section I they define partial reconstruction of the Valley View Center building including residential unit refurbishment and upgrading amenities as described in the County’s Capital Plan. She spoke with the Financial Director for Valley View and she explained that this does meet their criteria for bonding the project as they see it for the Capital Projects.

Mr. Berkman commented that there were a couple of occasions in the past that he did not support upgrading this technology because it worked, although it was antiquated. He was concerned that they were going to sell Valley View and he didn’t want the additional expense. They are not selling and they plan to keep Valley View so he was pleased to support the resolution and to make this important investment for safety and to upgrade it. He thanked Mr. LaDue for his cooperation because each time he spoke to him about this he was a willing participant and he was a model of a good public servant. He added that Mr. Anagnostakis pointed out that this was heavily supported with Medicaid reimbursement.

Mr. Anagnostakis commented that as his colleague stated all of the purchases are approximately 75% Medicaid. It was not reimbursement but the cost structure of the payments will go up because of this but that will be recouped over the next few years. This particular item are the lifters that they advocated four years ago when they had the Special Investigative Committee and found out that they were paying about $4.5 million in workman’s compensation and if they had these particular lifters that cost would go down dramatically. They received the first set of lifters and the cost has come down about $2 million so that means there is $2 million in savings on workman’s compensation per year all because of the lifters. He felt this would continue to add to the savings.
