_____________________________________________________________________________

2014 – A Year of Property Tax Containment

The 2014 Tentative Budget includes a tax levy increase of less than 1%. Specifically, the property taxincrease is 0.74%.

This property tax containment is not a one year approach. The average annual tax levy was up less than1% since 2009. Since 2005, the average annual property tax levy was up 1.81%, below the 2% propertytax cap.

2014 – A Year of New Beginnings

2014 signals a number of new and exciting initiatives and openings. The new Glendale Home will becompleted and residents will be moving into their new home. The Unified Communications Center will be completed and the municipalities in the County will open their new consolidated dispatch center.Construction will begin on the new Family Literacy Center to serve the Hamilton Hill, Vale and CentralState Street neighborhoods.

2014 – Continued Streamlining and Reorganization of County Government

The 2014 budget appropriation totals $298,991,241 and is up less than the rate of inflation. Our multi-year approach to restructuring and reorganization has been extremely successful. The results total morethan $35M in property taxpayer savings and cost avoidance each year. We have:

Eliminated more than 202 positions since 2008. Consolidated eight departments into four.

Implemented innovative ways of doing business with mandates and non-mandates.

Flat-lined employee healthcare costs from 2007 to 2013.

Eliminated millions of dollars in contracted services.

Maximized Federal and NYS revenues.

Forged multiple shared services and consolidations of government functions.

As in past years, we have again reduced the non-mandated sections of the budget in order to fundmandated costs to avoid tax increases. We have also implemented cost containments within our control in

mandated cost centers. Cost containment has been the central theme for the past decade. Purchasingrequests are reviewed and approved centrally by the Finance Department. Only essential purchases andequipment are procured. All services and positions are re-evaluated on an ongoing basis to identify potential for efficiencies and savings. The 2014 budget once again includes cost-savings and streamlininginitiatives. Examples include:

Library Restructuring Initiative

The County Legislature, the Library Board of Trustees and staff embarked on a comprehensive reviewand redesign of library services to better meet the needs of the communities we serve and to do it as cost-effectively as possible. The outcome resulted in a consolidation of services, increased programming, particularly for children, and more than $480,000 in annual savings.

The analysis of community need, patron interests and discussions with community partners drove muchof the redesign. A focus on family literacy, particularly in the City branches emerged as a theme. Theredesign plan includes consolidation of the Duane and Hamilton Hill Branches into a new Family Literacy Center which will provide a new facility with enhanced technology, expanded program space forcommunity partnerships, a classroom and tutoring spaces. The new facility is jointly funded with a

$450,000 commitment by the County and a $400,000 commitment by the Library Board of Trustees froma bequest from Phyllis Bornt, a former librarian. We are most appreciative of this generosity.

The redesign also calls for ongoing partnership between the Board of Trustees and the County forinvestment in branch facilities. This partnership has resulted in an investment and redesign of the MontPleasant Library to also serve as a literacy center. The upgraded facility provides expanded programspace, a new layout, interior upgrades and computers and furnishings. Additional upgrade projects arescheduled at the Quaker Street, Glenville and Niskayuna Branches during 2014.

Also new for 2014 is a joint County/Library Board of Trustees proposal to have the County FinanceDepartment function as custodian of the Library Board of Trustee accounts. This will save the LibraryBoard accounting and audit costs and also assure for ongoing stewardship of their funds.

Glendale Nursing Home

We anticipate moving to our new Glendale Home facility during the first quarter of 2014. Residents andstaff are excited and making plans for the transition. Management and staff continue to develop clinicalimprovements and increased efficiencies. The plans for 2014 include a focus on enhanced post-acuterehabilitation, wound care and comfort care specialty services to complement long term care services.

This enhanced focus at Glendale is complemented by a reduction in County cost in 2014 by $489,000.These savings are a result of the impact of the 2012/2013 early retirement plan which targeted certaintitles held by full-time Glendale Nursing Home employees. Savings are also accruing as a result of thetwo-tier wage system put in place with the last CSEA and SEIU contracts. New employees start at a 10%

lower salary and reduced night/weekend differentials. The budget also reflects the positive impact ofenergy efficiencies and maintenance savings related to the new facility.

Integrated Child Welfare Management Team

The interagency team, which includes the County Manager’s Office, Department of Social Services,Probation, Mental Health, Finance and the County Attorney’s Office, continues to evaluate, develop andimplement best practice strategies which improve child safety and well-being. The outcomes we strivefor are simple: children are safe, children will have permanent and loving homes, and our communitiesare safe.



3

The cumulative positive impact from best practice strategies and the positive outcomes for children andfamilies have resulted in significant cost-savings. We are moving children to adoptive homes faster, andwe are enhancing our strategies to identify family resources and foster families to provide care rather than placement of children in more restrictive congregate settings. Key highlights include:

290 children are receiving adoption services.

64 children have been adopted over last 24 months. 18% reduction in the number of children in foster care since 2010 due to

the increase in adoptions and community-based best practice strategies.

28% reduction in the number of youth served in congregate care since 2010.

So many of the children struggling in school or in the community have experienced some form of traumain their lives. Growing research indicates that community professionals must recognize this and reactaccordingly in order to have children and youth succeed in school and community. During 2014, theCounty’s team will be leading a community-wide transformative initiative to train hundreds ofcommunity professionals in the best practice theories and strategies related to trauma informed care.

Community Supervision and Safety

Through grant funding, the Department of Probation will be implementing a new supervision model forhigh risk domestic violence cases. The model is based on a best practice system in Massachusetts. Thenew model provides for improved assessments and an interdisciplinary support system involving theDistrict Attorney’s Office, law enforcement and community-based agencies.

Probation has been developing and implementing other enhanced risk assessment systems and specializedteams to better provide for community supervision of both juvenile and adult probationers. Probation andour mental health team are developing improved mental health risk assessment processes andinterventions, particularly focused on the juvenile and young adult populations.

Senior and Long Term Care Services

Delivery of a strong community-based senior and long term care system remains a priority for 2014. The2014 budget maintains our full continuum of community-based services for seniors. The budget providesfor programs such as operation of our meal sites, home-delivered meals to homebound seniors, medicaltransportation, case assistance, in-home services, respite and adult day services. Through streamliningdelivery of services, the 2014 budget reduces County costs by $97,000 without impacting services toseniors.

Collaborative Clinic

2014 is the first full year of Public Health’s collaboration with Ellis Medicine and Hometown HealthCenter on the delivery of community-based public health clinic services. This collaborative is proving to

be successful in delivering public health clinic services, connecting individuals to primary care providersand delivering services in a cost-effective manner.

Workforce Adjustments

The 2014 budget includes attrition of an additional 24 positions resulting in $1.5M in savings. As each position becomes vacant, an analysis is performed to determine if the position can be eliminated,reallocated to better use, or if it can be filled in a less costly manner.



4

Shared Services and Consolidation of Services

The 2014 budget provides for the new Unified Communications Center (UCC) facility lease. In thecoming months, the UCC Oversight Committee will be bringing forth their UCC operating budget for2014. Upon completion of the transition to the Unified Communications Center, Schenectady Countywill have a centralized call answering and dispatch center for all the residents of our five towns, twovillages and the City of Schenectady.

The 2014 budget also reflects the shared services initiative developed by our Board of Elections with theCounty of Oneida.

Efficiency Initiatives

The 2014 budget reflects a number of new efficiency initiatives estimated to save over $100,000.Examples include redesign of the transportation routing systems, reduced postal charges, reduced cell phone contract costs, increased vendor commissions and deeper office supply discounts.

Fiscal Reality of County Government - Mandates

Unlike cities, towns and villages, more than 84% of the County’s net revenues are dedicated to deliveryand funding of mandates over which we have little or no control. Unfortunately, the outcome of ourefforts to cut costs is masked by the continued increase in mandated costs to county governments, particularly in the human service arena.

State/Federal mandates account for more than 100% of County property taxes.

Medicaid

Medicaid alone costs the County property taxpayer $34.5M in 2014, which equals 50% of the property tax levy. The Federal Affordable Care Act (ACA) includes provisions that are anticipated to increase theFederal share of Medicaid in New York State. The 2014 budget assumes a resulting reduction in theCounty’s share.

During 2014, a number of the administrative functions performed by local Departments of Social Serviceswill be taken over by New York State. Given that this is the one area where the administration was 100%funded, no fiscal relief is associated with this transfer of functions. In fact, the fiscal impact is actuallynegative. As the transition approaches, we will be providing you with more information on the changesand impacts to operations.

Families and Individuals in Need – the County Mandate to Administer and to Pay

In spite of all efforts to move applicants and recipients to employment first and the efforts in frauddetection, prevention and interdiction, the 2014 budget reflects increased costs related to the FamilyAssistance and Safety Net Programs and the overall administration of the full range of mandated Federaland New York State services.

The Federal and New York State program Family Assistance is experiencing cost increases primarilyrelated to an increase in caseload. Fortunately, at this time, the Family Assistance Program does not havea County share and therefore has no impact on the property taxpayer.



5

The New York State Safety Net Program provides benefits to individuals and families that are not eligiblefor the Federal Family Assistance Program. The net County cost for the Safety Net Program totals $4.1Min the 2014 budget, reflecting the County’s 71% mandated cost share. In addition, the County ismandated to administer the Safety Net Program at 100% County share.

The Department of Social Services is aggressively working with families and individuals on work-first

strategies. We have integrated our Workforce Investment Center with DSS employment initiatives.Employable applicants and recipients participate in job orientation, job search, work experience and avariety of employment-focused activities on a daily basis.

DSS has a comprehensive Fraud, Waste and Abuse Prevention and Intervention Program. Annualavoided costs totaled $8.5M in 2012. These initiatives will be continued and new initiatives will beintroduced in 2014. Noncompliant participants have their cases sanctioned and fraud cases are referred toand coordinated with law enforcement.

The 2014 budget includes a $6,112,000 appropriation for the income eligible subsidized daycare program,reflecting an increase of $67,000. Unfortunately, this increased appropriation cannot keep pace with thedemand for daycare. As such the income eligibility for daycare will need to be lowered in order to stay

within the proposed 2014 appropriations.

Out of County Community College Chargebacks

In addition to sponsoring Schenectady County Community College and investing in its campusinfrastructure, Schenectady County is mandated to pay for Schenectady County residents attending othercommunity colleges throughout New York State. This mandated cost in 2014 is estimated to be $2.6M.The mandated community college chargeback cost has more than doubled in the last decade and is up$150,000 from the 2013 budget.

We have been advocating for chargeback formula reform. Flaws in the formulas have allowed forinconsistencies in the chargeback rate across community colleges. We are hopeful that reform measuresscheduled to be slowly phased in starting with the 2014/15 school year will correct some of the inequitiesand better protect the property taxpayers.

The County’s investment of property tax dollars in community college services totals $5,627,000 in the2014 budget.

New York State Employee Retirement System

For the first time in five years, the NYS Retirement System is projecting that the employer contributionrates will peak in New York State Fiscal Year 2013/2014. The projected rates for 2014/2015 reflect aslight reduction as compared to the 2013/2014 rates. The County retirement contribution is projected tocost $13.5M in 2014. While we are pleased the rates have peaked, they remain at a very elevated averageemployer contribution rate in 2014/2015 of 20.1% of payroll. The 2014 budget includes amortization of part of the 2014/2015 bill.

Affordable Care Act Impacts

The 2014 budget for employee health benefits includes more than $540,000 in new costs associated withthe Affordable Care Act. Specifically, the new cost reflects an assessment on both our self-insured and premium based products.

Revenues

County sales tax cash receipts experienced positive growth in 2011 and 2012. We are optimistic that wewill achieve our 2013 budgeted revenues and the 2014 budget assumes a continuation of this positivetrend. The budget reflects the new sales tax agreement which requires additional sharing of revenues withthe City of Schenectady.

New York State capped and/or reduced reimbursements for mandated programs continue to negativelyimpact the County. Unlike cities, towns and villages, counties do not receive any New York Staterevenue sharing.

Capital Improvement Program

The 2014 Capital Improvement Plan totals $6,880,074 which includes a County appropriation of$4,439,900.

Facility Improvements

Over the past few years, the County’s Capital Improvement Program focused on large projects such as theSCCC Music and Drama addition, renovations to SCCC’s Elston Hall, the new Glendale Nursing Homeand expansion and rehabilitation of the Central Library. The focus this year is on upgrades to the CountyOffice Building, the Courthouse and satellite offices.

The 2014 Capital Improvement Program provides $525,000 in funding to rehabilitate exterior portions ofthe County Courthouse. This project includes stone repointing and replacement of windows andsidewalks. The project will be packaged with the existing Courthouse roof replacement project for aconstruction project in 2014.

Proposed building upgrades for the County Office Building include sidewalk replacements, interior officeupgrades, and replacement of the fire alarm panel. Facility exterior and interior projects are also

recommended for three of our satellite offices.

The 2014 Capital Improvement Program also provides for relocation of the electrical transformersservicing Schenectady County Community College and installation of an emergency generator. Thecurrent equipment is located in the flood plain. We have submitted a grant application to assist withfunding of this project.

The Capital Improvement Program also includes fence improvements and the addition of a diesel fuelstorage and pumping system at the County Airport.

Public Works

The 2014 Highway and Bridge Improvement Program totals $3.9M and is comprised of $2.1M in Countyappropriation and $1.8M in New York State funding. A deck replacement project for the Scotch RidgeRoad Bridge is a part of this recommendation.

Thanks to the grantsmanship of our Public Works Director, a number of projects will be underconstruction and completed in 2014 using Federal and NYS grant funds. We will be replacing the deckson both the Alplaus and Van Vorst Bridges. We will also complete work at the intersection of Alplausand Maple Avenues and will undertake straightening of Maple Avenue at the intersection with theentrance to the Air National Guard at Ronald Reagan Way. We are also anticipating grant funding toinitiate design work for reconstruction of Upper Union Street, Broadway and Aqueduct Road.



7

The recommended highway equipment procurements for 2014 reflect priority equipment only. We have been able to avoid significant replacement costs by investing in the refurbishment program, extending thelife of equipment by as much as seven to ten years. At this time, replacement of two tandem axle dumptrucks with snow and ice equipment and one road side mowing tractor is necessary. The vehicle fleet program contains funding for nine replacement vehicles recommended by our fleet management team atthe Highway Department.

Technology

The 2014 Capital Improvement Program includes replacement for end of life data center equipment,installation of network testing equipment, and replacement of aged desktop equipment. The CapitalBudget also includes replacement of the large format engineering plotter used by the Office of Facilities,a customer query and workflow management system for the Department of Social Services and a centralcopier replacement fund.

Closing

Over the past decade Schenectady County Government has set in place a progressive agenda for

community improvements for our residents, employers and visitors. At the same time, SchenectadyCounty has set in place a strict agenda for property taxpayer protection. We continue to review andevaluate our local government structure to look for new and more cost-effective means of doing business.

In closing, I wish to acknowledge the leadership of the Schenectady County Legislature, as well asdepartment heads, staff, community stakeholders and volunteers for their part in moving these agendasforward. Without this dedication, collaboration and commitment we could not have actualized the levelof community accomplishments nor the property taxpayer protections included in this budgetrecommendation.

A special note of personal gratitude also goes out to Deborah Mancini, Commissioner of Finance, RuthAnne Foster, Director of Accounting Systems, Jaclyn Agostino, Assistant to the County Manager, Belle

Freedgood, Executive Secretary and Ryan Piche, Management Intern for the many hours they dedicatedto the preparation of the budget recommendation.

We look forward to working with the County Legislature in its review of this recommendation and tocontinue the progressive agenda of community development that has been set by the Schenectady CountyLegislature.

BOARD OF ETHICS

A1051

MISSION

The mission of the Schenectady County Board of Ethics is to ensure the ethical conduct of public officials and employees is observed to retain public confidence in local

government.


The Board of Ethics meets several times a year at the discretion of the Board itself. Each meeting is held in compliance with the statutes pertaining to Open Meetings,

unless it is necessary to go into closed/executive sessions because of the personal information being discussed.

The primary function of the Board is to collect the annual financial disclosure forms submitted by specified officials and employees who have fiduciary responsibilitieswithin County agencies. As part of this mandate, it is the Board’s responsibility to review job descriptions of officials and employees to determine whether that person

needs to comply with this law. When such information is not available, it is at the discretion of the Board to evaluate the position as it compares to other positions with

similar status and responsibilities, as well as solicit opinions from that position’s supervisors to help make such determination. It is also an essential responsibility to

evaluate situations of possible ethical violations that are brought before the Board.


• Create clear and accessible “Code of Ethics for Schenectady County,” based on projected County legislation.

• Review and define which positions need to file proper papers to ensure there is no perception of conflict of interest when taxpayers’ funds are being spent.

• Investigate any claims of ethical impropriety by County officials or employees as brought before the Board of Ethics.

• Create easy access to forms and clearer communication about our purpose using current technology.

indigent persons when the Public Defender is otherwise disqualified. The County utilizes a Conflict Defender approach in an attempt to achieve cost savings by eliminating

1. Procurement of goods and services in accordance with the County’s official policies and procedures.

2. Provision of mailroom services to various departments and the courts of the County.

OUTCOMES Purchasing will provide goods and services in a manner that is timely and within the guidelines and policies that have been approved by the County Legislature. This

includes working with municipalities within the County to achieve savings in time and money. Purchasing must balance the needs of all departments within the County

with the requirement of balanced business fairness for the vendors providing goods and services to the County.

Our service population includes all of the County departments and the State courts within the County, the vendors we contract with for goods and services, and the

taxpayers who have entrusted us to spend millions of their tax dollars wisely.

MOBILE RADIO DISTRICT

A3020

MISSION

The mission of the Schenectady County Law Enforcement Mobile Radio District (MRD) is to provide countywide, inter-agency law enforcement radio communications for

all participating agencies in Schenectady County. The MRD system provides daily autonomous radio communications for each agency, plus interoperability through

commonly assigned channels for command/control functions during emergencies and other events requiring communications between departments.


The Schenectady County Law Enforcement MRD consists of the law enforcement agencies of Schenectady County, City of Schenectady, Towns of Rotterdam, Niskayuna,

and Glenville, and Village of Scotia. For participating agencies, MRD provides technical and other assistance concerning F.C.C. Licensing and Special Event and MRD

channel reservations. MRD also helps agencies interface with communications consultants, program portable and mobile units, and stay abreast of communicationsdevelopments. MRD handles intermodulation, adjacent, and co-channel interference problems for participating agencies. MRD also assists agencies with communications

consulting firms, and the programming of portable and mobile radios. MRD maintains a liaison with the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials and

oversees a system maintenance contract on a daily basis. As required by F.C.C. rule, MRD has already caused all of its F.C.C. licenses to be modified, approved and re-

licensed by the F.C.C. for narrowband operation. MRD now has the ability to broadcast and receive in both analog and digital modes. The system also has the capability of

secure digital communications to allow for privacy required by police operations during special events.

SHERIFF

A3110

MISSION

The mission of the Schenectady County Sheriff’s Office shall be the protection and preservation of the rights, lives and properties of all persons, through the fair and

impartial enforcement of the law, regardless of such person’s race, creed, color, e thnicity or social standing.


The Sheriff and Deputies serve as the County's principal law enforcement officers with duties and responsibilities established by State law. While the civil process is the

exclusive responsibility of the County Sheriff, the Sheriff is also responsible to provide law enforcement services to County residents. The Sheriff assigns deputies to deter

criminal activity, arrest criminal offenders, promote traffic safety and respond to emergency calls. The Sheriff has concurrent jurisdiction with local law enforcement

officers in all of the county municipalities. The Sheriff cooperates closely with community authorities and local police agencies. The Sheriff’s Office frequently provides

mutual aid for other agencies within the County.

The Schenectady County Sheriff’s Office K-9 Unit provides continuous service to all jurisdictions within the County of Schenectady and has assisted other communities

outside of Schenectady County in their times of need. The Schenectady County Sheriff’s Office K-9 Program is totally funded by private donations. This important service

is not only effective but without burden to the taxpayers.

The Schenectady Sheriff’s Office actively participates in the Operation SAFE CHILD program. Through a partnership with the New York State Police, New York State

Sheriffs' Association and New York State Association of Chiefs of Police, the Division of Criminal Justice Services and its Missing and Exploited Children Clearinghouse

the program provides Operation SAFE CHILD IDENTIFICATION CARDS to families across the county and the state. The Schenectady County Sheriff’s Office provides a

security detail at the Schenectady County Department of Social Services and the Schenectady County Main Library.

The Schenectady County Sheriff’s Office of Professional Standards was created in 2003. The Office of Professional Standards:

•

Investigates the background and qualifications of all incoming employees of the Schenectady County Sheriff’s Office by examining and questioning the

potential employees, checking prior employers, checking educational backgrounds, questioning neighbors, investigating criminal backgrounds and checking

other sources of reference.

•

Investigates and takes appropriate action in regards to complaints made against staff, medical providers, program providers, and/or volunteers.

•

Investigates and takes appropriate action in regards to complaints of inmates or visitors regarding staff.

•

Develops and revises policies, programs and regulations to provide for the effective and efficient management of the Schenectady County Sheriff’s Office.• Investigates reports of inmates being injured prior to their incarceration at the Correctional Facility and report injuries to the arresting agency.

During 2012 the Schenectady County Sheriff’s Office took over the coordination of the Schenectady County Stop D.W.I. Program and the Schenectady County Traffic

Safety Program. The programs are collaboration between the seven law enforcement agencies throughout the county and several civilian organizations with the common

goal of making the highways safer. Previously the program was coordinated by a full time civilian employee working under the control of the County Department of

Economic Development and Planning. By having the Sheriff’s Office coordinate the program we were able to lower staffing costs and dedicated more monies to

enforcement.

During 2012 the Sheriff appointed a deputy to the Federal Drug Enforcement Agency (D.E.A.) Task Force. The task force is a joint effort by local and federal agencies in

controlling drug trafficking in the area. In the first six months alone that the deputy was assigned to the Task Force, the Sheriff’s Office received enough asset forfeiture

funds to more than cover the deputy’s salary. Asset Forfeiture is an effective law enforcement tool the United States uses to deprive criminals of their ill-gotten gains by

seizing the proceeds of criminal activity and property used to facilitate crime. Seized property is shared with state and local law enforcement agencies which make

substantial contributions to underlying criminal investigations, thereby not only depriving criminals of their ill-gotten gains, but returning the proceeds to law enforcement

to use to fight crime. This program is called “equitable sharing.”



SHERIFF

A3110

OUTCOMES

By upholding the statutes, laws and regulations of the County of Schenectady, State of New York and the United States of America the residents and visitors to

Schenectady County will be safe and secure in their person and property.


To ensure positive direction and growth within the Schenectady County Sheriff’s Office the following goals and objectives shall be set forth for all members to strive to

attain. The continuing goals of the Schenectady County Sheriff’s Office shall be:

• To detect crime and criminal activity.

•

To enforce the law and solve crime.•

To reduce and prevent future crime through education.

• To provide for highway safety and traffic enforcement.

•

To promote the training of all departmental personnel.

• To enhance the professionalism of the department.

•

To provide a conduit for services provided in the community.• To compile statistics on crime and analyze reports.

• To apply for grant funding consistent with the mission.


During 2014 the Schenectady County Sheriff’s Office will:

• Continue its Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEPS) with the goal of making our highways safer.

• Continue training for all employees and update and enhance the department procedures.

• Continue Gun Buy Back Program.

• Continue narcotics enforcement investigations.

• Continue to develop substation.

• Partner and develop Gang Prevention Program with SPD and DA’s Office.


• Participated with the Schenectady Police Department in the Operation Impact Program.

•

Continued the directed patrol program with the goal of enhancing protection for the areas of the county where there is no municipal police protection.

•

Upgraded equipment for the patrol division through the Asset Forfeiture Program.

IMPROVE INTERAGENCY COOPERATION

The Schenectady County Sheriff’s Office is one of seven law enforcement agencies within Schenectady County. We should never lose sight of the fact that we are all part

of the whole and must work together to serve and protect the residents. In order to improve interagency cooperation and further enhance service to the public the

Schenectady County Sheriff’s Office in conjunction with the other law enforcement agencies in the County will cooperate in:

• “STOPPED” PROGRAM – During 2011the Schenectady County Sheriff’s Office in conjunction with the other law enforcement agencies in Schenectady

County instituted the “STOPPED” Program (Sheriff’s Telling Our Parents and Promoting Educated Drivers). Parents enrolled in the program received a decal

to place on their vehicle and those parents will be notified any time their child is s topped by police officers. The program was developed by the Schenectady

County Sheriff’s Office and will be coordinated by this office.

• COUNTYWIDE WARRANT DETAIL – Will continue joint details between agencies executing warrants throughout the county.

•

COUNTYWIDE ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION DETAIL – Share resources throughout the county in the investigation of major accident scenes.

• HR 218 TRAINING - This new Federal law exempts qualified active and retired law enforcement officers from local and State prohibitions on the carrying of

concealed firearms while off-duty across state lines. The Federal law requires these officers to be tested or otherwise found by the State to meet the standards

established by the State for training and qualification for active law enforcement officers to carry a firearm. The Schenectady Sheriff’s goal is to provide this

valuable training within Schenectady County.

MISSION

The Schenectady County Correctional Facility hereby acknowledges its legal obligation to:

• Operate in conformance with state and national jail s tandards and the rulings of state national courts.

•

Provide a safe, sanitary, and secure place of detention for all people committed to this jurisdiction for detention or correction.

The Schenectady County Correctional Facility hereby acknowledges its obligation to the community in that:

•

The Schenectady County Correctional Facility must protect the community by securely holding persons who are determined by the courts to pose a threat to

public safety. Further, the Schenectady County Correctional Facility must protect the inmates, its staff, and all visitors to the facility.

• It is the goal of the Schenectady County Correctional Facility to return inmates to the community in better condition so that they can become better citizens.

The Schenectady County Correctional Facility hereby acknowledges its obligations to its staff in that:• For a facility to become progressive and to maintain a reputation of credibility, there must be written guidelines which dictate policy. These written policy and

procedural rules have to be understood and followed, as well as enforced fairly and impartially.

• Through constant evaluation of our policies and procedures, the thorough training of personnel, and a firm commitment to the field of corrections, we will

develop a greater sense of pride in knowing that we are making this county safer, and therefore, a bet ter place for all of its c itizens.


Since it is our objective to return people to society in better condition than when they entered the facility, it is incumbent upon us to offer as many programs as security,

space and time allow. As such, programs are an essential part of our mission.

• In 1995 the facility initiated a computerized legal library system, which was the first of its kind in the State of New York.

•

Inmates are entitled to receive an hour of exercise off of their housing units each day if they choose.

•

The educational programs at the Schenectady County Correctional Facility are designed to prepare inmates for a successful transition from incarceration back

into the community. The following programs are administered by the Schenectady City School District and provide over 28,000 hours of educational service:

• High School Diploma continuation and GED.

• Adult Basic Education.

• English as a Second Language (ESL).

• Basic money management.

• Computer literacy and Computer Repair/HTML classes.

• OSHA Health and Safety Course.

• Vocational and Post Secondary Counseling.

• Group Counseling.

•

Transitional services are offered at the facility to help prepare incarcerated individuals for a successful and productive future:

• Computerized career assessment.

• Job-readiness training.

• Pre-release planning.

•

Individual case management.

• Twenty-three hours of religious programming are scheduled every week for every major religious denomination.

•

The YWCA of Schenectady provides educational support groups and individual counseling.

During 2011 the Schenectady Sheriff’s Office instituted the “A New Future in Cooking” program. This comprehensive six week program has been designed to give

inmates the chance to have a marketable skill when they return to the workforce. Each session is held for two hours one day a week. There is one class for the ladies and one

for the gentlemen. The class covers basic fundamentals of common kitchen equipment, kitchen tools and terminology. The idea of the course has a dual goal of not only

understanding the concepts for cooking and preparation but also performing them. The program was developed and is provided at no cost to the County by the Mallozzi

Family, owners of Mallozzi’s Restaurants and Villa Italia, and is taught by their staff. This program will continue through 2014.

The Sheriff’s Office continues to offer prisoner work detail to provide free labor for many not-for profit organizations.

PUBLIC HEALTH – CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS

A4045, A4046, A4059

MISSION

The mission of Schenectady County Public Health Services is to prevent or reduce the transmission of human illness and injury, promote healthy behaviors, protect against

environmental hazards and assure the quality and accessibility of health care for all segments of the community.


The Children with Special Needs (CWSN) program assures that Schenectady County’s physically, medically, and/or developmentally disabled children aged birth to five

years and their families are provided with opportunities to access assessment, diagnostic, medical, therapeutic, and educational services. CWSN works closely with state

approved providers comprised of 13 agencies and 40 independent providers and collaborates with local and state level stakeholders, providers, school districts, agencies and

other County departments. The Schenectady County CWSN Program administers four distinct programs:• The Early Intervention (EI) Program provides developmental evaluations for infants and toddlers birth to three years old suspected of having a developmental

delay and provides services for children eligible due to delay or confirmed medical diagnosis.

•

The Special Education Program serves children ages three to f ive who are approved by their local school district’s Committee on Preschool Special Education.

• The Physically Handicapped Children's Program provides certain dental/orthodontic services and medical (hearing aids and batteries) equipment based on

financial eligibility and County residency. Parent co-pays are based on a sliding fee scale based upon the federal poverty level.

• The Children with Special Health Care Needs Program utilizes a referral-linkage system to provide assistance for children birth to 21 years old with serious

chronic physical, developmental, behavioral or emotional conditions.

OUTCOMES

• All eligible children in Schenectady County will receive quality services using best practice service intervention models.

MISSION

The mission of the Schenectady County Public Health Services is to prevent or reduce the transmission of human illness and injury, promote healthy behaviors, protect

against environmental hazards and assure the quality and accessibility of health care for all segments of the community.


The Environmental Health Unit fulfills the mission of Public Health Services through coordinated response strategies including inspection, surveillance, industry and public

education, and partnerships with the NYS Department of Health and the overall health care community. Environmental Health administers numerous programs designed to

protect public health through the enforcement of State and local laws and sanitary codes. Individual programs monitor food service establishments, public water supplies,

swimming pools and bathing beaches, camping facilities, temporary residences (hotels and motels), body art establishments, mobile home parks, schools and day carefacilities, and septic systems. Other departmental grant programs include lead poisoning prevention, healthy neighborhoods, tobacco control, and rabies control.

OUTCOMES

• The health of County residents and visitors will be protected and improved through timely inspections of all permitted health department facilities including

food service establishments, public water supplies, temporary residences, children’s camps, swimming facilities, mobile home parks, and body art facilities.

Programs will focus on employing prevention interventions prior to sustaining illness or injury.


•

Work with the City of Schenectady and property owners to repair lead-based paint problems in 100 residential units within the target zip code areas.

• Food service establishments will be prioritized into high, medium and low risk facilities based upon type and quantity of food served and compliance history.

High risk facilities will be inspected two times per year; medium risk facilities one time per year and low risk facilities once every two years. Total yearly

inspections are approximately 550 permanent facilities and 200 mobile and temporary food vendors.

•

All 45 public water supplies will have a sanitary survey performed. Water sampling will be done quarterly at community water systems serving a population

of over 1,000 and annually at community water system serving a population under 1,000.

•

Swimming facilities will be inspected quarterly for year round facilities and as needed at seasonal facilities, resulting in approximately 75 inspections.

• Children’s camps will be inspected two times per year, one pre-season and one operational inspection as per NYS code requirements, resulting in 36 total

inspections for 18 camp facilities.• School food services will be inspected two times per year as per Federal funding requirements for school lunch programs resulting in 120 County inspections.

•

Temporary residences and tattoo/body piercing establishments will be inspected at least once per year or as complaints are received.

•

The Healthy Neighborhood program will complete 150 total home environmental assessments (113 initial and 37 re-visits), contingent on grant funding.


• To improve customer service to Schenectady County residents, provide timely electronic responses for inspection results, foils and test results by expanding

the use of e-mails and the County website.

• To provide primary lead prevention activities, including testing and possibly remediation, within defined high lead contaminated areas by working with

Prevention Unit staff, the Healthy Neighborhood grant program, and the Schenectady City Code Enforcement office. This initiative would protect young

children from hazardous lead-containing housing before illness results, resulting in 50 residential units being made lead-safe.

•

To provide a continuum of lead poisoning services by partnering with other Governmental agencies and CBOs from identification of lead hazards through

remediation and clearance. Environmental Health will continue to work closely with the City of Schenectady on their 3.2 million dollar HUD grant, with 75%

revenue reimbursement for one staff member involved in the HUD grant.

MISSION

The mission of the Schenectady County Department of Social Services is to promote the health and safety of our community by empowering individuals and families to

achieve self-sufficiency and maintain independence.


The Department of Social Services (DSS) runs a number of programs touching the lives of community members. These programs can be grouped into two broad categories:

Temporary Assistance and Children & Family Services. Brief descriptions are as follows:

Temporary Assistance• Social Services Administration costs (A6010) include salary and non-salary expenses and are partially reimbursable.

• Medical Assistance includes the County share of Medicaid charges. Eligibility for Medicaid is determined by Federal and State guidelines. The Federal

government pays approximately half of Medicaid expenses. In 49 states, counties pay no meaningful share of Medicaid expenses. New York is the only state

in the nation requiring counties to share in the cost of Medicaid.

• The mandated Family Assistance (A6109) includes the Family Assistance and Emergency Assistance to Families programs.

• The mandated Safety Net (A6140) provides financial assistance to needy persons who do not meet the requirements for Federal category programs.

• The Home Energy Assistance Program (A6141) assists eligible residents in meeting the escalating costs of energy. This program is 100% Federally funded.

•

Emergency Aid to Adults (A6142) assists Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients with emergency needs unmet by the basic SSI monthly benefit.

• The Special Investigation Unit is responsible for the investigation of fraud, waste, and abuse in the Temporary Assistance (FA-SN), Food Stamp, Medicaid

and Day Care programs. Investigations are completed during the application process as well as while a case is open. Requests to investigate are received from

agency staff and the public at large. Overpayments are recovered by recoupment; under certain criteria cases may be disqualified or prosecuted. DSS also

includes a Child Support Enforcement Division that identifies and locates financially responsible parents in order to establish and enforce child support orders,

thus reducing a family’s dependence on public assistance.

Children & Family Services

• Child Welfare Services: Counties are mandated to investigate all a llegations of abuse and neglect and to provide appropriate service interventions to assure for

the health, safety and well-being of children. The interventions include caseworker monitoring, coordination of services such as parental substance and/ormental health treatment, and therapeutic treatment for child victims dealing with the trauma of sexual and/or physical abuse or severe neglect. Interventions

also include cost-effective best practice in-home family intervention programs. Foster home or institutional placement services are initiated when the safety or

well-being of the child cannot be assured. The department also provides a strong adoption program to promote permanent and loving homes for children where

parental rights have been terminated.

• Day Care: The County provides income-eligible subsidized day care to low-income working families.

• Juvenile Justice Center and Services: Schenectady County operates a Juvenile Justice Center that co-locates and integrates the operation of Juvenile Probation

Officers with Department of Social Services caseworkers. This unique operation, which is a model for other counties, continues to identify and implement best

practice programming targeted at the at-risk adolescent population that enters the Juvenile Justice System.

• All able-bodied adult recipients capable of pursuing employment will obtain work.

• Provide the basic necessities of life consistent with Social Service law to eligible residents, including food, shelter, and health care; and assist each customer in

achieving independence and self-sufficiency to the greatest degree possible.

week providing open ice skating to the public generally between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Other skating opportunities include Learn to Skate programs, open

figure skating, open hockey and stick and puck programs, which are regularly scheduled and posted at the rink and on the County website. Ice rentals are generally rented

in 75-minute increments. SCRF is used by youth hockey leagues, two local high schools (the Schenectady/Niskayuna Mohawks and Burnt Hills/Ballston Lake Spartans),three adult hockey leagues, local elementary and middle schools, church groups, and private parties and events.


• Increase ice rink attendance to exceed 2013 target levels. In 2012, SCRF attendance increased 8.4 percent to 28,366 from the prior year and facility revenues

were the highest ever due to the popularity of pick-up adult hockey games and open figure skating aimed at teenage girls. Attendance in 2013 is forecasted to

increase over prior year results. Revenues should increase sharply due to rising attendance for premium-priced activities for figure skating and adult hockey

leagues that are both open to the public and expanded summer operating hours when most rinks in the region are closed.

2010 Actual 2011 Actual 2012 Actual 2013 Projected 2014 Target

SCRF Attendance 26,587 25,982 28,366 29,000 30,000

STRATEGIC INITIATIVES FOR 2014Improve utilization of SCRF by:

• Promoting general skating as a healthy and affordable recreational alternative for families.

• Attracting figure skaters with competitively priced packages, particularly in early mornings when most rinks are closed.

•

Expanding late evening adult leagues.•

Generate more income during summer when most Capital District rinks are closed.

• Meet the targeted savings in the Restructuring Action Plan.

• Expand technology options and services and increase computer usage by 10%.

• Increase the variety of programs offered to adults and children based on community needs.

• Increase the number of program partners to enhance the literacy programming.

• Create a new Family Literacy Center to serve the Hamilton Hill, Vale and Central State Street neighborhoods.

• Implement new financial controls across all ten libraries.

• Resume pre-school programs in branches that do not currently offer them and expand family literacy programming.

• Expand after-school, summer and vacation week programs for youth.

• Develop new operating revenues.

• Investigate the creation of a Makerspace in our library.


In 2012 we had the highest adult programming statistics in the library’s history and we had a dip in the attendance at youth programs due to the impact of the completion ofthe new children’s room. Our circulation increased over the previous year despite the disruptions at the Central Library due to construction. We increased the use of socialmedia to promote library programs and resources. Upon completion of the renovation, the physical layout of the Central library was reconfigured to provide for a morespacious layout of library materials, seating, and quiet areas for patrons to work.

• Our 210 volunteers helped a great deal in this tough economic climate by donating 10,247 hours of their time to keep this library system running.

• From training patrons on new reading devices, to negotiating the world of e-books, library staff has had to be prepared for the fast changing world ofinformation.

•

Staff members attended national and state conferences, and local library workshops. Many participated in webinars to further their education and to keep upwith a rapidly changing field.

• Most of the library programming, from after school, to authors, to senior computing programs, is funded by the Friends of the Library. This organization budgets almost $100,000 a year to support the library in a variety of ways. They also contributed to the purchase of computers, furniture, and supplies.
