McNALLY:
I call the Public Safety meeting to order. Please stand for the pledge. Veteran’s
office, Noel Merrihew.
MERRIHEW:
No report from the Veteran’s office this morning Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
McNALLY:
Thank you. County Sealer, Dan Woods.
WOODS:
Good morning everyone. If you
flip to the second page, you will be able to see my report for the month of
December.
McNALLY: Any questions for Dan?
TYLER: Can
you bring up what is different or is it all the same stuff?
WOODS: Which part?
TYLER:
I’m just saying the whole report in general, is there something in there
that maybe is different or highlighted or is changing or is all about the basic
stuff?
WOODS:
It’s pretty much the same every single month of what I go out and do, pricing
accuracy, inspections, package checking on top of the devices I check but this
last month, we have been checking into more pricing accuracies with certain
companies Family Dollar, Dollar General.
These stores, there was an issue last year in Vermont they paid a
substantial amount of money in fines for pricing accuracy. It’s also been being looked at in other
states and it is now being looked at in New York State so there is an
investigation going on and we are now working on that without trying –
TYLER:
Are you part of the investigation?
WOODS:
Yes sir. I’m putting in paperwork
and documentation to New York State directly.
TYLER: I
just want to know because my wife goes to the Dollar General and she spends a
lot more than a dollar.
WOODS:
Yes sir. One of my inspections
when I do pricing accuracy at these stores I check 100 items at random and I’ve
had failure rates to where 77 out of 100 or 78 out of 100 were being
overcharges so the price that’s on the shelf and what you scan, when you scan
it is higher than the shelf price so customers are being charged more than what
is on the shelf and that’s what we are working on and we’ve written fines for,
trying to work with New York State directly to get it changed for all of New
York State so customers are being awarded what they are supposed to pay.
TYLER: Thank you.
DOTY:
How are you doing Dan?
WOODS:
Good, sir. How are you?
DOTY:
Good. With respect to the 156
short term rental increases, I don’t know if you get things to the degree Mike Diskin
does but can you report growth in areas other than North Elba, Jay, Wilmington
where you know, the primary basis where short term rentals are, are there
indications of more short term rentals in other parts of the county?
WOODS: I
can get you the broken down information.
Lois Borden actually has every single town broken down and how many are
in each one so we would be able to see what is in there. They do not take every month’s numbers like I
do so we would have to look at where we start at every year we can do that plus
I can talk to Lois and get the numbers from where we start and then we can see
the potential growth between what we have in each town. If that’s what you’re asking?
DOTY:
I’m also curious because as you know, our area has been under moratorium
for well over six months now, so to have a growth of that might show that there
are other areas too that have growth.
WOODS:
Yes sir.
DOTY:
Thank you.
SCOZZAFAVA:
So with the state re-enacting the sales tax on gasoline, has that been –
WOODS:
That has absolutely nothing to do with me sir.
SCOZZAFAVA:
No? I’m saying it’s going to
reflect the price at the pump.
WOODS:
They are just going to change the price at the pump that has nothing to
do with the calibrations or checking the calibrations. As far as how much an establishment charges,
they can put as much as they want on the price tag as long as the top matches
what the sign is and people are getting what they are known to be charged for there’s
nothing else anyone can do.
SCOZZAFAVA: Thank you.
DELORIA:
The breakdown on these upcoming, short term rentals is important, if we
could actually get that on a monthly basis I see it as a way for small towns
like us to keep track of the ones that are popping up and maybe not registering
but we know that they exist.
WOODS:
We can talk to Lois and Mike about that as far as that portion of it, my
duty of that is the enforcement and of making sure everything is paid. I try my best to give everyone the most
information as possible.
DELORIA:
If we could somehow include that in that report maybe they could provide
us a report on a monthly basis.
WOODS: I
will talk to them.
WINEMILLER:
Right along the lines of what Robin is saying, in your report can we get
an address for where these short term rentals are?
WOODS: That would also be through either Lois
or Mike but we can talk to them and see what we can come up with. As far as my duties go with the job that I’m
doing that, really doesn’t have anything, no correspondence. I’m only the enforcement officer to this so
as far as all this documentation of I don’t have the registration paper, I
don’t have any of the addresses that come through that goes directly to Mike
and Lois. I get notify and I deliver the
paperwork if need be and enforce to make sure we get payments.
WINEMILLER: Okay.
GILLILLAND:
I have called Mike and asked for the list and he sent it right over in
my town, all who has registered but then you’ve got to go and take that and
you’ve got to go to VRBO and you know, and actually spend a couple hours
searching through those in your town anyone who rented an Air B&B is
transparent they pay and they don’t tell us who is doing the work.
WOODS:
Yes sir. Thank you for bringing
that up. As you just stated, Air B&B’s we get a payment and it’s one lump
sum payment and we don’t know which address that’s even being paid for.
McNALLY: Anybody else? I believe on the Empire Report this something
there was something from, is it Michelle Hinchey, is trying to move for New
York State control, they also want the sales tax on the Air B&B’s and
occupancy tax and the state said they are not going to infringe on the counties
but I don’t believe them but there is something being moved and I believe she
out of Columbia County out in the Catskill area and she’s moving something as a
state enforcement agency to control the tax so we’ll see what happens with that
but just something to be aware of. The state maybe getting involved which if
they think they are missing out on some sales tax. Anything else for Dan? If not, thank you Dan.
Jack Moulton, Mary McGowan.
MOULTON:
Not much to report. I know a
couple people have asked me for the political calendar and that should come out
in probably the next two to three weeks and I would also like to share, Shona
Doyle who most of you probably worked with in the office, has accepted a
position with our new Supreme Court Justice so if you need anything in the
office now Krista Moran who also has worked in our office has accepted my
Deputy role.
McNALLY:
Anything for Board of Elections?
Alright, thank you. District
Attorney –
MASCARENAS: Kristy did send me a message this
morning she was hoping to make it here but she hasn’t.
McNALLY:
There you go.
MASCARENAS: I don’t see here. She does have a resolution this morning to
enter into a contract with Advent for traffic diversion and reduction
program. She had briefed the board on
this a few months ago. I think it’s a
good idea. It’s something that we’ve
pushed around for a lot of years now. Most counties throughout the state do
have some sort of traffic diversion program.
It doesn’t get rid of our reduction program. The company that we contract with is at no
cost to the county for the service that they provide, they get their revenue
off from the person that signs up for the course. So, what we’re looking at is a model that
would have $125.00 go to the county, $125.00 go to the town of the ticket of
origin and then the cost of the course is usually around $40.00, for what the
individual has to take. That’s
comparable to what most people are paying if they plead guilty to a charge on a
traffic violation. For us, I think it
makes a lot of sense only the DA can set up the parameters we really don’t have
the authority to do that. We have the
authority to put an amount on it but we can charge for the program. That’s what I would recommend that we pass
here today.
McNALLY:
Does anybody have any questions on that?
GILLILLAND:
I think this is a good program particularly since the Comptroller dislikes
it so much, less money down south, keeping it here.
McNALLY:
The only concern I have on this is it going to make our local court
whole, we are going to still generate revenue, I believe we will.
MASCARENAS:
I think locally you’ll actually generate a little more revenue. I haven’t looked at the current ticket
data. I did this research a lot of years
ago. Essex County gets somewhere between
16,000 usually and 20,000 traffic tickets a year, it’s pretty significant in
terms of our traffic. Now, this is a
voluntary program and the DA and the offender have to agree to do it. There’s nothing that requires those offenders
but the fact of the matter is right now is people are getting a lot of
reductions and that State surcharge is just going out the door right? So you’re not getting anything on a lot of
tickets. Mr. Tyler is shaking his head,
he was a judge, he knows how that works and we have informed motorists now so I
think for public education and safety it makes sense especially for those low
level first time offenders that deserve a break, we now have an educated
motorist out there. I think there is a
lot of good to be had. It’s another tool
in the tool box for our local justices and our District Attorney’s office who
spends an awful lot of time on traffic tickets.
DEZALIA:
I think this sounds like a great program but to be successful I think
that we will need to get the word out to motorists because the DA’s office and
the courts are going to continue to get the calls unless we can tell people because
Kristy said that the State Troopers can’t tell them that they can go online to
take care of this.
MASCARENAS:
That is correct.
DEZALIA:
So, we have to think of another way to tell motorists they now can do it
online.
MASCARENAS:
Yeah, you’re right and this is going to take us a few months to set up
the forms, set up the sites once we have the contract with this company but
you’re absolutely right I think it’s going to take some time and some effort
just to get the word out that this is an option for individuals to take
advantage of.
MONTY: I
answer usually six to eight calls on Tuesday from licensed drivers who have
been suspended because they’ve chosen to ignore a ticket for multiple years,
are they going to be allowed to do the diversion program?
MASCARENAS: Typically, not. I can’t answer for the District Attorney per
say, again, they are the only ones that have the authority to not prosecute a
ticket but typically those reoccurring offenders aren’t going to have the
option so with something like that it’s probably that individual who’s got a
fistful of tickets that has failed to pay over the years. I mean, something common would be maybe a
speeding ticket for a young person, first time offender, maybe they were ten
miles an hour over the speed limit something like that, that you see come
through your door. It’s not going to be
those egregious type actions where somebody was going thirty miles an hour over
the speed limit, she would have the digression to offer the current reduction
program the diversion program or seek full –
MONTY: I
understand that. I was just curious
because I do, I field at least a half a dozen every Tuesday and it’s always my
fault.
McNALLY:
Alright, anybody else on that?
Alright we have motion, Mr. Tyler and Mr. Hughes.
RESOLUTION
AUTHORIZING THE COUNTY CHAIRMAN OR COUNTY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A CONTRACT WITH
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE AND ADVENT FOR A TRAFFIC DIVERSION AND REDUCTION
PROGRAM, AT NO COST TO THE COUNTY. Tyler, Hughes
McNALLY:
Questions, concerns? All in
favor, opposed – carried.
MASCARENAS:
That’s all she had.
McNALLY:
Anything else for Mr. District Attorney?
Emergency Services – Matt Watts.
WATTS:
Good morning. I don’t have any resolutions today; you have our
report. Are there any questions on our
report and I do have a couple of things just to inform you with.
McNALLY:
Any questions?
WATTS:
So, we are going to be entering into an inter municipal agreement with
Clinton and Franklin County for the CAD upgrade that’s already been approved so
hopefully within this week, that will be signed and we can progress with
that.
I did appoint a Deputy Director, Mike LaVallie
from Ticonderoga. He will be starting
probably next week. He had his physical
the other day and we’re just waiting for that to come back. We are kind of excited to get some help in
there.
And the last thing, I’m sorry to say is that
our EMS Coordinator, Bryce is leaving at the end of the month so I just wanted
to make you guys all aware of that. I
will start working on a replacement as soon as possible.
McNALLY:
Anybody have anything for Matt?
HOLZER:
Matt, quick question are you involved in the Verizon mini towers going
in all over the area at all?
WATTS:
Not a whole lot, no.
HOLZER: Are you Jim?
MONTY: What was that Roy?
HOLZER: The Verizon mini towers that are
popping up all over the place?
MONTY: I
haven’t seen any in Lewis yet.
HOLZER:
Okay, well there’s some in the notch, out by Paul Smiths yeah, it’s for
the games but it makes a good point that Verizon services clearly aren’t
addressing our current needs and I’m hoping someone probably your office would
be most realistic is pursue this a
little bit because if we need to bring in all these mini towers for the
University Games, which I think will be a marginal crowd, I don’t think it’s
going to be numbers it just drives home a point that our current system isn’t
coming in. Agreed?
WATTS:
Yes.
MONTY: I can speak a little bit Roy, prior to
the games when they were doing the planning we were approached myself, and I
passed it along to Shaun, by Hudson Valley Wireless they were wanting to put
some microwaves in and that I shared with you, the only problem was that they
needed money that’s why they approached us and at the time, Verizon was
approached to help as well and Verizon didn’t.
I didn’t know that they came up and started putting the mini towers up.
The last I knew they were still working on the microwave issues.
HOLZER: Well, my point for bringing it up is
and I think that Matt Stanley can speak to this, probably JoePete, I know in my
community there’s times where there’s no Verizon signal at all and as people
are giving up their landlines thinking that the cellphones are the way to go,
it’s creating a huge emergency issue for us if we need to dispatch emergency
services to our constituents.
MONTY: I concur, I had the same exact
conversation with a Verizon rep who was trying to sell me a new phone system
last week and I said, before we even start you need to answer a few
questions. I said, I’m looking right now
at a Verizon tower, my cell phone has no service. Why? And dead silence.
STANLEY:
And I brought this up at the Adirondack Association of Towns and
Villages, Bill Farber was going to get in touch with his Verizon rep, that was
about a month ago. I saw a follow up
email this week, I still haven’t heard from Verizon at all. When I do actually send anything to Verizon
they send out text, they take my phone number, they send texts out and say, the
system is working the way it should well, it’s great that it’s working the way
that it should but I shouldn’t go through Keene on my way here with three bars
and have a text fail to send. It’s a
major problem that I think we, as the county need to start making it aware as a
body and put it out there and putting these people on notice and let them know
it is an issue when people can’t contact somebody to get an ambulance to their
house because there’s no service.
Frontier is spotty at times, it’s a major issue.
DOTY: I
can report that over the last four to six months I’ve been in somewhat frequent
talks with Verizon because they do recognize the short comings and I believe
what’s going on is an entire area assessment of just what they are going to
have to spend and the whole bit because they want another tower up in our area
as well.
SCOZZAFAVA:
I think part of the issue here is the lack of concern by the public
service commission. I have contacted them on different issues, they do nothing
and I think we need to let our State Legislators know and the Governor’s know
that, even invite a member of the Commission up here or we’ll go to them but
that’s the big issue right there. They
do not get back to our constituents or myself and then regards to national grid
rates, regards to phone service, regards to Spectrum, they do nothing and their
job is to oversee all this.
GILLILLAND: I would reiterate that the Public
Service Commission is a useless agency but mostly Verizon and the other
carriers and stuff are not going to do anything in the Adirondacks until the
APA is beaten down on towers. You’ve
been fighting this for how many years, you know one study said if they will
allow two more feet on a tower it would cover the entire park. The public safety issue of site or service
throughout the park is just not recognized by the environmental groups and they
just will not allow the construction of taller or more towers and the answer I
always get from them and other counties and stuff is that mini cell is the
answer, just put mini cells on the roads going around which doesn’t do the
public safety issue because hiking in the back country. So the choice on the public safety issue was,
more rangers or better cell service and I guess they went to more rangers but
if the cell phone works out in the woods in the back country you can direct
your helicopter directly there. It is
just ludicrous that this Forever Wild trumps public safety.
DEZALIA:
There’s one of these mobile trucks and towers sitting at the conjunction
down here, right after Exit 30. I only
knew, I was driving north on 9 and all of sudden I get a phone call in North
Hudson and I knew never would come through so I’m like, okay, there must be
there’s a mobile site coming up so I had coverage all the way to Elizabethtown
from North Hudson. Now, I foresee
somebody in North Hudson or multiple people in North Hudson and New Russia
calling and saying, okay, how come we can get this temporarily for twelve days
but we can’t get this always?
MONTY: I
recently sent an email out to the public service commission asking why, and
around Essex County there’s a lot of fiber that already exists around,
everywhere and they are not allowed to use it and the answer from the public
service commission was well, that’s the carriers choice and in most cases
designated for businesses and stuff but, the problem getting to Moriah it was the
fact that there’s a line that goes from Westport to Crown Point to the school
in Moriah strictly for the school, Crown Point school and Moriah the same line
could be used to hook residences up from the Pelfershire Road in and down along
the lake, the public service commission answer was that’s the carriers
decision, carriers decision so how do we change that?
GILLILLAND:
This could really all be solved if they would make broadband and cell
service a public utility and you cannot build a tower that doesn’t take every
signal or that broadband cable can be hooked in for any service but there’s
language throughout the country I guess and legislatively to go down that road
much like back in the 1930’s when during the Roosevelt administration they
started rural electrification administration, made rural electrification
electricity a public utility and available to everybody ultimately, that’s the
only way we are going to solve this.
MONTY:
When I testified in Albany two years ago Terry Warner said that, that same
thing that we need to make it a public utility and the public service
commission had no response.
McNALLY:
The topic, you know it comes down to one thing we sit here in the county
struggling to meet our cell phone and our broadband needs and I think it’s an
insult for them to bring in portable equipment to service the traveling visitor
for a two week period right under our nose and the day after it’s gone to
remove this it basically shows the State knows there is an issue, the APA knows
there is an issue, but that issue seems to dissipate for the people who
actually live and work here and that, they need to explain to us why that the
travelers going to the World University Games are more important than the
people that are sitting here in this room and I would like some explanation and
I don’t know if that is going to come from the Governor’s office, the
Adirondack Park Agency, the DEC, whoever wants to explain that to me I would
love to listen to their explanation why, the traveling public has more use than
the people that live here.
HUGHES:
Well, the good news is Mr. Chairman, is you can use that data right
there, you can use those examples as support for your argument after those
twelve days are done for that letter.
McNALLY:
Right, exactly.
HUGHES:
So it’s happening because it shows there is an understanding of the data
and we need to make more permanent so we use that argument against them to
support what we are trying to do.
McNALLY:
I think they need to explain to us why.
Okay, anybody else?
HOLZER:
So, let’s get on that Matt.
McNALLY:
Do you think that will be resolved at the end of the week or a couple of
weeks?
WATTS: Maybe two.
McNALLY:
Two weeks, you heard it from Matt.
Okay, anything more for Matt?
Okay anything else? Sheriff’s
Office, Dave Reynolds.
REYNOLDS:
So, you have my December report.
The end of the year report will be coming soon but I do want to point
out we exceeded our revenue line by almost $200,000, so the jail has been
packed full. We have more local inmates
now than we’ve had since pre Covid, pre bail reform so I think all that is
starting to come back around, a lot of family court people are coming to
jail. I think every stat line that I’ve
given you over the course of the year, the last couple of years has increased
this year so we’ve had a pretty busy year.
I do have two resolutions. A couple months ago I came to you and asked
to spend some money out of our forfeiture account for our child ID machine,
they quoted us the wrong price so it’s actually more because we have Sheriff’s
Association software so it’s shared amongst everybody in New York State so the
real number is $7,999, so I would like to request approval to spend $7,999.00,
out of budgeted Sheriff Forfeiture account to purchase New York State Child ID
Machine and the software that comes with it.
RESOLUTION
AUTHORIZING AN AMENDMENT TO RESOLUTION #235 – OF SEPTEMBER 6, 2022, AUTHORIZING
THE PURCHASING AGENT TO AWARD BIDS, ISSUE CONTRACTS/AGREEMENTS OR PURCHASE
ORDERS TO THE SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT TO PURCHASE AN EZ CHILD ID TURNKEY SYSTEM,
IN THE AMOUNT OF $7,999.00, WITH FUNDS TO COME FROM FORFEITURE ACCOUNT. Wright, Tyler
McNALLY:
Questions, concerns?
HUGHES:
What was the original number you were quoted?
REYNOLDS: It was like $5500.00, somewhere in
that range.
HUGHES: Thank you.
McNALLY: Any other questions. All in favor, opposed – carried. Next.
REYNOLDS: The second resolution; we have a
program in our facility where we acknowledge officers when they do something
above and beyond but I think this also needs to be at least mentioned in front
of the board. So, this is a resolution
recognizing Sgt. Robert DeFelice, Correction Officers Josh Genier, William Orr
and Corey Cole and our Registered Nurse, Mallery Hance for their life saving
actions on 12/18/2022. Their quick
response and aid rendered to an inmate in medical distress saved their life so,
they were not breathing when they showed up.
