Dutchess County Executive's Annual Report for 2011RE:

Pursuant to the Dutchess County Charter, filed herewith is the County Executive's writtenreport of the finances of the County and the activities of the Executive Branch of countygovernment for the year 2011.

I cannot stress enough the difficult situation the County faces as the lasting effects of astubborn national economic recession continue. A situation made even more challenging withthe depletion of our fund balance in 2011 in order to maintain County programs and serviceswithout raising taxes.

In the 2012 State of the County address, I will outline my administration's plans for enhancedfiscal stability and shared prosperity. In order for us to attend to the needs and concerns ofCounty residents we must work together to lead with less. We must focus on the importantissues; we must be inclusive, bringing all stakeholders into the necessary discussions; we mustapply logic to our decision making and we must be fair, always thinking in terms of the greatergood. Utilizing these principles,we will strive to achieve economic benefit in our actions as wehelp businesses thrive, grow and invest in our communities, improve government efficiency inthe delivery of core services, and continue to emphasize quality of life for all Dutchess Countyresidents.

I ask you to please join me for my 2012 State of the County address on Tuesday, February 7th

5:00pm at the Beacon High School auditorium where we will begin to address the challengeswe face together.

Finances of the County

Economic Conditions

The state of the economy continues to be the most pressing concern facing alllevels of government. While 2011 had some positive indicators, the effects of theeconomic recession continue to be felt globally, nationally, statewide and locallyin Dutchess County. Our residents continue to struggle with job loss,underemployment and other quality of life issues brought on by the stress of theeconomic recession.The New York State Department of Labor (NYS DOL) recently reported NewYork’s December 2011 unemployment rate was 8.0%, slightly below 8.2% in

December 2010. Athome, unemployment forDutchess was 7.2% inDecember, comparedwith 7.4% in December2010. While the currentrate is down from 8.8% inJanuary 2010, whenunemployment reachedits highest point sincepost-IBM downsizing in1994, it is significantlyhigher than the averageannual unemploymentrate in our area of 4% for2007 prior to theeconomic downturn.

NYS DOL’s annual average for 2011 showed Dutchess County’s labor forcedown 2,100 jobs from 2010 and there are 4,400 fewer people employedcompared to the 2007 annual averages. However, Dutchess County ranks betterthan most counties having the 9th lowest unemployment rate of all 62 countiesstatewide.The local housing market in Dutchess County ended 2011 fairly flat; similar tohow it performed over the past two years. Statistics released by the Mid-HudsonMultiple Listing Service show the year’s average selling price was $321,793 forthe 1,435 single-family detached homes sold, up only 1.2% over 2010. Thenumber of homes sold for the year was up by 3.6% and sales dollar volume wasup 4.9% compared to 2010. For some context, however, in pre-recession 2005the total dollar value of “closed” residential units in Dutchess County was $879million. In 2011 it was only slightly more than half that at $462 million.

Home foreclosures for2011 were down nearly33% compared to 2010,

Service Demands

Demands on our health and human services agencies continued to increase asfamilies struggled to make ends meet, found themselves without jobs, were

and/orunderemployed,dealing with the stress offinancial hardships. For thecurrent heating season,homeowner applications forHome Energy AssistanceProgram (HEAP) haveincreased by more than67% to almost 3,100compared to 1,850 in 2007.Mental Hygiene’s 24/7HELPLINE saw an increaseof nearly 62% in calls forassistance - from almost16,000 in 2007 to 25,873 in2011, demonstrating thestress and challenges ourresidents continue to face.

A key indicator of the lagging economy is that in December 2011 the Departmentof Social Services reported a total caseload for state mandated TemporaryAssistance to Needy Families (TANF), Safety Net, Medicaid, and Food Stamp

programs to be 43,202 versus 28,354 for the same period in 2007. This is adramatic increase of 52%, or more than 14,800 unduplicated cases. It’s expectedthese trends could continue well into 2012 and beyond.

The list of fiscal challenges in providing county government sen/ices and meetingresidents’ needs and expectations can be daunting, particularly as our resourcescontinue to shrink. While we saw modest growth in sales tax revenues in 2011,particularly in the 4th quarter, the benefit of any gains are significantly diminishedwhen weighed against the increasing cost of state mandates, the loss of federalstimulus dollars and shrinkage in other economically driven revenues.Tax Cap & State Mandates

The most significantchange impacting localgovernments in 2011 wasthe state’s passage of aproperty tax cap. Countiesacross the state, includingDutchess, rely on theproperty tax to fund statemandated programs andservices. Property taxes in2011 paidapproximately 25% ofcountyspending with 33% fundedthrough sales tax, 25%through state and federal aid and the remaining 17% funded through otherrevenues such as fees, fines and other miscellaneous revenues.

for

government

State mandated programs consume our entire local county property taxlevy of $103.8 million and more. The New York State Association of Counties(NYSAC) recently released a report entitled, “State Programs Funded by CountyProperty Taxpayers,”which explains how property taxes are used to pay for statemandated programs. Medicaid continues to be the single largest mandatedprogram for county government, and is the number one mandate relief priority forcounties across the State. The 2011 county budget included more than $37million paid by local county taxpayers and consumed 36% of our County propertytax levy.

However, over the past three years all counties, including Dutchess, receivedtemporary federal stimulus funds (FMAP) to offset the cost of the state mandatedMedicaid program. This temporary relief ended in June creating a huge gap to befilled by property taxpayers.

State mandates challenge county government budgets and leave fewer countydollars for local services such as road maintenance and snow plowing,emergency response, law enforcement services, veterans’ services, youthprograms, park facilities and other programs that are important to our localresidents.In 2011 the state budget continued to impact our local services as an estimated$4 million over 2 years was cost shifted to Dutchess including: a reduction instate aid reimbursement for our Medical Examiner’s Office and other HealthDepartment programs; a phase-out of Mental Hygiene’s Continuing DayTreatment reimbursement over 4 years; a 25% reduction in Youth funding; aSafety Net cost shift decreasing the state’s share and increasing county sharefrom 50% to 71% while taking over TANF costs; cuts in Department of SocialServices adoption subsidy and preventative services funding and the eliminationof open ended funding for juvenile detention.

County Finances

The following information highlights 2011 key revenue and expenditure areas:

Revenues

> Final sales tax receipts for 2011 will not be known until mid-Februarywhen the final payment is received. If the two remaining sales taxpayments reflect the sales tax growth we have seen in the 4th quarter, weexpect to meet the adopted budget estimate of $132.5 million.

> The Department of Social Services received an unanticipated $1.6 millionin federal ARRA revenue due to a final Federal Medical AssistancePercentage (FMAP) reconciliation at the end of June.

> The 2011 county budget was adopted with mortgage tax revenue but themortgage tax was not enacted and implemented, thus creating a shortfallof $1.7 million.

> A shortfall of $2 million is projected for the Department of Mental Hygieneprimarily as a result of a unilateral change by the state in reimbursementmethodologies for the clinics and Continuing Day Treatment programs.

> Other economically sensitive revenues also continue to be negativelyimpacted including: interest earnings for funds in the county treasury as aresult of interest rates below 1% and lower than normal cash levels in thecounty’s bank accounts; and Mass Transportation Operating Assistancerevenue is down as the State’s distribution formula is factored on decliningmortgage recording fees.

Expenditures

> Medicaid, county government’s largest state mandated expense area, costproperty taxpayers $41.4 million in 2011. Medicaid costs were partiallyoffset by $4.3 million in federal ARRA funds which expired in June 2011.

> State pension costs to fund our employees’ retirement, health insurancecosts, and workers’ compensation continued to increase totaling nearly$45 million for 2011.

> The county cost of other state mandated programs, including PublicAssistance, Child Welfare and Protection, and Juvenile detention areestimated to total $29 million for 2011.

> The state mandated Early Intervention and Preschool Special Educationprograms in the Health Department cost county taxpayers over $8 millionin 2011.

5

> Energy and utility costs for county government totaled nearly $4 million.Dutchess County Government and Dutchess Community Collegepartnered together to lock in a fixed kilowatt hour price over a three yearterm for the supply of electricity providing some future stability in energycosts. The combined savings total almost $300,000 for 2011 compared tothe 2010 expense.

> An additional $3 million in 2011 supplemental appropriations wererequired for housing inmates in other jails and jail overtime. Thesesupplemental appropriations required an additional drawdown of fundbalance.

> Gasoline costs were short by $180,000 this year due to the significantincrease in gasoline prices compared to budget estimates requiring asupplemental appropriation from the Legislature. These costs tend to bevolatile and can change unpredictably.

> Health Insurance costs were short by $366,000; due primarily to anincrease in family enrollment in NYSHIP, an MVP rate increase thatoccurred after the budget was finalized, and lower than expectedparticipation in the MVP Gold Plan coupled with an increase in retireeenrollment. Supplemental appropriations were required by the CountyLegislature to meet these obligations.

There are many factors and variables that will impact the county’s 2011 year endfiscal position which will not be known until the end of April when the books areclosed.Comparison to Other Counties

Dutchess County governmentcontinues to stand outstatewide. Dutchess taxesour residents 23% less percapita and spends 26% lessper capita than the statewidecounty average,

indebtedness per capita is animpressive 66% below thestatewide average. DutchessCounty’sindebtedness represents amereconstitutional debt limit. Ofparticular importance toDutchess County propertytaxpayers, the County property tax levy totals only 16.7% of the County’sconstitutional taxing limit.

Bond Rating

In December 2011, Moody’s Investor’s Service, our bond rating agency,assigned an Aa1 rating with a negative outlook to Dutchess County. This outlookis indicative of Moody’s belief that the maintenance of a stable and satisfactoryfund balance will be a key in future ratings. Fund balance depletion in 2011 mayaffect future ratings negatively.

Fund Balance

The county’s 2010 year end audited general fund balance was $29.9 million. The2012 adopted budget includes an appropriation of $24.5 million from the generalfund balance to pay for the core services. This application of fund balancecoupled with the additional drawdown of $3 million in fund balance during 2011and other potential projected year end revenue shortfalls could leave countygovernment with little or no unappropriated fund balance when the 2011 fiscalbooks are closed. Prudent and pro-active fiscal management will be moreessential than ever to rebuild fund balance and position county government forfuture fiscal challenges. We know, however, it becomes increasingly moredifficult to accomplish in tough economic times. Additional fiscal impacts couldput the County in the position of having to borrow to cover operating expenses.Countv Workforce

Employees from the Department of Social Services’Children’s Services Division

Our employees and union leadership know as the economy continues to impactcounty government services, our fiscal picture will likely get worse before gettingbetter. Counties across the state, including Dutchess, have eliminated positionsand services, and further cuts may be necessary as stimulus fundingdisappears, the economic downturn lingers and further state aid reductions mayreduce revenue sources.

7

In the past five years since the onset of the economic downturn, our countygovernment workforce has been reduced by a total of 203 FTE positions. Thereality is without significant mandate relief from Albany the 2013 budget willlikely mean the reduction or elimination of programs, services and theemployees who provide those services.

My administration and I, personally, will meet with union leadership early thisyear to discuss how we can work together to address our continuing fiscalchallenges and continue to provide the core services our residents expect.

A Look at 2012

Our fiscal challenges extend into 2012. Although the Governor’s budget includessome proposals to reform the Early Intervention and Preschool SpecialEducation (EI/PSE) programs, which could help keep appropriations withinbudget for 2012, the Medicaid reform proposed would not impact the countybudget until 2013, leaving a shortfall in Medicaid appropriations needing to beaddressed this year.

Mandated contributions tothe state Retirement Systemfor employee pensions,have increased 17.8% from$17.4 million in 2011 to$20.5 million for 2012 andare projected to increaseagain next year. There maybe some relief goingforward if the Governor’sproposed pension reform,including the creation of aTier VI in the pensionsystem, is adopted.

Our administration will work diligently to manage the $411 million budget basedon the current economic conditions and the County’s overall fiscal picture.Funding adjustments may also be necessary later this year based on the finalstate budget outcome, and the economy’s impact on our revenues which areneeded to pay for the services.

State Budget Impact

Governor Cuomo’s recently released 2012-2013 state budget proposal closesthe state’s current $2 billion budget deficit and includes some key reforms which,if enacted, could provide some minimal relief for Dutchess County property taxpayers. The plan includes a proposed elimination of the current 3% annualgrowth in the County share of Medicaid phased-in over three years with the firstphase effective in 2013.We will continue to monitor the state budget process in the coming months, itmay be well into 2012 before we know the final outcome and full impact on theprograms and services we deliver and fund at the county level. As informationbecomes available, we will identify the adjustments needed and adapt to thosechanges as best we can.in 2011, Governor Cuomo’s Medicaid Redesign Team and Mandate ReliefRedesign Team developed a comprehensive list of mandate relief options. In theGovernor’s 2012 State of the State Address, he indicated the newly createdMandate Relief Council would begin meeting in early 2012 to conduct publichearings and develop recommendations for consideration by the StateLegislature. As of today, the Council has begun meeting. Counties across thestate are relying on the Governor and state legislators to pass substantialmandate relief for 2012. Dutchess County government is committed topartnering with our state legislative delegation to assist the Governor in making

9

mandate relief and reform a reality. We welcome the Mandate Relief Council andlook forward to hosting public meetings here in Dutchess to present our ideas formandate reform. Easing the burden of state mandates means more of ourtaxpayers' hard earned dollars can stay in their pockets, go toward local prioritiesand enable job creation.A sluggish economic recovery combined with the state’s property tax cap willpresent ongoing fiscal challenges to counties over the next year and beyond.County governments simply cannot continue to fund state imposed mandates atthe current level and stay within the state’s property tax cap without decimatingimportant discretionary programs and services important to our residents.

The continued reality of the lingering economic recession will require toughdecisions as we move forward in 2012, and as we work to develop the 2013budget

As with any transition of leadership, there is a moment in time when oneadministration ends and the next begins. This document addresses, as required,the last year of the Steinhaus administration. The index identifies the year’saccomplishments by department

There is no doubt 2011 was a difficult year: 2012 and 2013 will be even morechallenging. However, through tactical short-term and strategic long-termplanning, my administration will work diligently to position county government tobest address the needs of our residents despite these challenges.

To that end, I will present my 2012 State of the County address on February 7,2012 at Beacon High School where I will share with you my plans for our future.

I look forward to us working together to overcome our challenges and seek newways to enhance the quality and character of Dutchess County for all those wholive, work and raise their families here.

Civil Service Administration ,

In addition to ongoing civil service administration (including,but not limited to, civil service roster recordmaintenance, position arid jurisdictional classification, and payroll certification), performed civil serviceoversight and review to numerous lay off situations occurring in the local public agencies in the county.This included the cities, towns, villages, school districts and special districts within the County ofDutchess. This included providing'guidance and direction to agencies in decision making activities, andconfirming civil service seniority and retention dates for permanent employees, and establishingseniority lists and layoff status records for all possible layoff situations and identifying available bumpingand retreat rights for affected employees, and reviewing all layoffs situations to ensure implementationin compliancewith Civil Service Law and Rules.

Interest in locally administered civii service examinationsremains very high. This is likely a direct result of the current economic circumstances, but also in theproactive and intensive recruitment efforts by this department in the publicizing of employment and '

examination opportunities and this department's continuing efforts to provide for a broad and diverseapplicant pool for examination purposes and the resulting selection and appointment processes.County Budget Development and County Government Reorganization and ConsolidationThe Department was intricately involved in the administrative review of and classification and allocation .

of County positions during the development of the 2011 and 2012 County Budgets.

Thedepartment was involved in reviewing the impact of the reorganizations and consolidations of the nineCounty departments into four and addressing any operational, programmatic and personnel and civilservice matters. This involved but, was not limited to, the restructuring of existing positions most

OFFICE of COMPUTER INFORMATION SYSTEMS (OCIS)

For the eighth year in a row, the Center for Digital Government and the National Association of Counties(NACo) recognized Dutchess County Government as one of the most digitally-advanced countygovernments in the United States. Dutchess County captured the #5 national ranking in the 250,000-499,000 population category in the 2011Digital Counties Survey. Dutchess is only one of two countiesthat have been in the top ten each of the past eight years.eGovernment ServicesThe County continues to focus on expanding and.enhancing on-line web services, recognizing the costsavings/efficiencies gained by the public, businesses, local municipalities and the county. Some 2011statistics highlighting the major -impact of the County's web-based services include:

•Estimated value of GIS services provided at no charge to Municipalities: $2.3 million/year(Based on a conservative' cost estimate of $75,000/municipality if they provided their own service)

•Number of individual peopie that used the County's GIS web services in 2011: 91,500

5

• Estimated annual GIS cost savings to Businesses: Over $12 million/year(Based on 34% of the 91,500 users reported as business people being able to eliminate at least seven annual trips to CountyOffices.) .

• County Clerk Document Searches:1.59 million(Represents public searches on county website only,does not include direct visits to the County Clerk's office.)

• New Mapped Based Loop Bus Routes/Schedules: Over 21,000 pages in 3 months

•Flu Clinic Immunization-On-iine scheduling for the public: 3,700 residents

New Cost Effective Telephone System and Network Upgrade

OCIS is in the later stages of an 18-month project to implement a new network infrastructure and phonesystem that integrate voice and data services. These leverage the existing county fiber optic backbone.As part of this, an' IP-based Unified Communications System. (UCS) will replace the County's

' outdated/expensive PBX-based phone system. This collaboration between OCIS and Central Services willresult- in improvements in staff efficiencies as well as a true 10-year "net" savings of $2,380,000. The’new 20 GB network infrastructure is now 100% complete. Work is underway on the telephone "

component that is expected to be fully implemented by summer 2012. Operational savings arereflected in the 2012 budget including a 30% reduction ($200,000) in County telephone costs for thepartial year savings. Full-year savings in 2013 are expected to exceed $350,000.

Loop Bus Map-based Routes and SchedulesThe County's'Loop Bus mass transportation operation is critical to thousands of daily riders. Finding andunderstanding route information is key, as evidenced by statistics that show that there are more than2000 weekly look-ups of Loop Bus information on the County Website (dutchessny.gov). To make iteasier for the public, in October 2011 a Map-based Loop Bus Schedules website facility was launched.This new application maps all routes and stops employing Google mapping which the public is familiarwith. The status of each route is now provided, in the first three' months, the public referenced thisapplication.21,000 times.

GIS Assessment and ConsolidationA major outcorbe of the 2011 GIS review was a plan for 2012 to reorganize and consolidate GIS datamaintenance as well as realign staff for key county GIS- stakeholders (Emergency Response, Health,Planning, RPT and OCIS). At the center of this plan is the consolidation of the maintenance/support of 47"core" and "critical" data layers at OCIS: This will improve efficiencies, data integrity and accuracy byhaving a small centralized team that can focus on the interrelationships of data layers. Shared staffingand realignment of County GIS staff is important to this plan. One positive result of the realignment isproviding our Emergency Response department with a GIS employee; at the same time not increasingthe number of County staff.Professional Association Memberships:• NYS Local Government Information Technology Directors Association (LGITDA).

OFFICE OF PROBATION AND COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS

The primary goal of the department is to ensure community safety through recidivism reduction. Thedepartment has continued to advance this ultimate objective by implementing evidence-based practicesbased on scientific research. The department also has a commitment to assist victims of crime.Over the past several years, the department embarked on a. systematic plan to implement these,

practices by introducing actuarial assessments {based on risk level {to recidivate) and criminogenic need.Supervision strategies were designed to address risk and need. Special populations also wereconsidered: DWI, sex offenders, individuals with mental health/substance abuse issues and domesticviolence.In 2011, the Office of Probation and Community Corrections:• Partnered with the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University, the

Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services and Division of Criminal Justice Services to begindiscussion on promising approaches to creating science-based, system-level transformation fordealing with individuals with substance abuse issues in the criminal justice system. Albany, Dutchessand Ulster counties were selected to participate in this project by DCJS—Office of Probation andCorrectional Alternatives. The ultimate goal is to develop a model that can be implemented by the

' rest of the state and nationally.• Dutchess was one of several counties asked to participate in the development of a statewide

detention risk assessment instrument. Dutchess was selected because of our commitment toimproving and reforming the juvenile justice system and the steps already undertaken in thisprocess, including the use of an actuarial assessment instrument, the YASI, the development of apretrial program for juveniles, collaboration that already existed and a database that could be usedto assist the research.

Needs AssessmentIn 2011, the Division of Aging Services completed its federal and state required Needs Assessment. TheNeeds Assessment relies on a number of data sources,- including surveys of seniors, caregivers, andthose in the aging and long term care network. For the 2011 report, a remarkable 2125 surveys werecompleted by Dutchess County senior citizens alone, thanks to extensive outreach and assistance fromcommunity partners and service providers.Senior survey results were tabulated by zip code in order that localities and community agencies mayaccess reported needs for their own regions in the county.

The year 2011 once again presented many challenges for the department, yet we continued to meetthose challenges in carrying out our mission to protect and promote the health of Dutchess Countyresidents.

Maintaining Public Health Preparednessin 2011 the department revised and updated our Public Health Emergency Response Plans which weresubmitted to the Dutchess County Department of Emergency Response as an annex to the DutchessCounty Comprehensive Emergency Response Plan. These detailed plans follow the framework for an AllHazards response as noted below;

1. Community Mitigation and Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions2. Risk Communication and Public Information3. Epidemiology and.Laboratory Surveillance4. Prevention of Disease through Medical Countermeasure Distribution

In August 2011, the department planned and implemented a scaled response to Hurricane Irene,utilizing the Health Annex of the Dutchess County Comprehensive Emergency . Management Plan(CEMP). The department worked to control and respond to the health effects of the hurricane throughthe use of risk communication strategies and outreach to particularly vulnerable and at risk populations.The department also provided representation at the County Emergency Operations Center to providepublic health nurses and environmental sanitarians and engineers to respond to public health needs asnecessary.In order to continually update, train and educate staff, numerous programs were offered. Twentymembers of the Collaborative Outbreak Response team (CORe) team, whichrepresentatives from ail divisions, completed 5 week on line course entitled "Field Epidemiology 201:Practical Skills in Outbreak Investigation.

encompasses

The course definitely enhanced the ability of staff to respond to various outbreaks that presentedthemselves, in 2011our Communicable Disease Division in conjunction with Environmental,Nursing and

27

Health Planning, investigated several outbreaks that included Pertussis, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, andNorovirus (gastrointestinal disease). Preventive treatments were all recommended and if in a schoolsetting, letters to parents and staff were drafted and additionally appropriate public health advisoriesand/or alerts were sent to health care providers. A few of these were:

• Pertussis was one that was identified in early spring which involved a multi-county athleticcompetition. This resulted in 2 confirmed cases and recommendation for preventive treatmentof over 70 persons

• In an overnight summer camp hosting 60 boys - with 1child duly infected with Pertussis andMycoplasma pneumoniae- 50 boys were recommended preventive treatment

• In the fail of Mycoplasma with three schools experiencing.clusters. One school had over 20cases over a 6 week period with 3 of them needing hospitalization.

TheMedical Examiner, as part of emergency preparedness, purchased a refrigerated morgue trailer forstoring bodies in the event of a multiple fatality incident,made possible through grant funding.Immunization Clinics and DrillsIn 2011 the Adult Immunization, and Screening Clinic was initiated, merging several clinics togethermaking it easier and more convenient, it also enabled a more efficient use of staff time and resources.The Department again received American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds to provide adultvaccines to the public free of charge, 291doses of Tdap and 197 doses of Gardisii were provided.The department worked on the planning of the 11th annual Mid-Hudson Adult Immunization CoalitionMeeting held in Sullivan County where over 100 officials from the Centers for Disease Control andPrevention (CDC),New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) and other Local Health Departmentsattended in order to raise awareness and inspire new initiatives to prevent vaccine .preventable illnessand disease.In 2011the department offered five seasonal flu clinics throughout DC with approximately 400 residentsreceiving flu vaccine. Additionally 2 point of dispensing (POD) drills were done in conjunction with theMRC in November. The drill focused on the use of a NYSDOH online pre registration system known asClinical Data Management System (CDMS). Staff was also able to test another function of CDMS, byentering patient data at the POD in real time through the NYSDOH Health Commerce System (HCS).Finally,.the department instituted a tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis (Tdap) promotion campaignto address the dramatic increase in diagnosed pertussis, also known as whooping cough, in infants. Thegoal is to get those in closest contact with infants to become"vaccinated in order to.prevent the diseasefrom occurring.

AED/CPR drills are conducted quarterly at the various locationsfollowed by a review of CPR and AED protocols.The HEART Safe program promotes and supports CPR training in the community, Public access todefibritlation through strategic placement of automated externa! defibrillators (AEDs) for use by publicsafety professionals and other trained community members,early advanced care, and increase .of out of

' hospital survival rate, in 2011, Hudson Valley Pop Warner in LaGrange was the newest organizationdesignated HEARTSafe, bringing the total of community and municipal organization designations to 55.The Nutrition/Diabetes and Physical Activity programs are offered to healthcare professionals, schools,seniors and community residents to increase awareness and promote healthier lifestyle choices. Sixty-five sessions from preschool to middle school were given to over 1,200 students and 7 programs to over1,100 senior citizens on programs such as: Portion Distortion, Munchies and Movement, Healthy EatingMyPyramid, and Diabetes Guidelines. Additionally Diabetes Awareness Sunday, a five minuteeducational awareness program is offered to faith based congregants in November.In collaboration with Health Quest, an Obesity conference was held to address this major public healthissue. Over 70 healthcare professionals,school personnel and community organizations attended.2011 also afforded the training of 112 doctors, pediatric nurses and school teachers training to use withchildren and parents to promote healthy eating and physical activity.

Poughkeepsie Plenty, a collaborative effort with the Poughkeepsie Farm Project, received an FDA grant,to assess the food security and choices residents make in the City of Poughkeepsie. Interns working atthe DOH along with DOH staff conducted surveys within.the community to access food security and foodchoices. A total of approx 320 surveys were done and will be analyzed by the biostatisticians.The Great Halloween Candy Exchange is designed to help reduce the obesity epidemic in children andpromote healthier - choices. The Health Department, along with Fishkili Allsport, Children's Medicalgroup, Learning Insights and The Literacy Connection held the 6th annual event where children candonate their candy in exchange for books, fun passes etc. Approximately 2,000 pounds of candy wereshipped to military personnel on a USS aircraft carrier in the middle of the Indian Ocean and to troops inAfghanistan in 2011.in order to increase awareness for parents and caregivers regarding childhood injuries and how toprevent them, the DOH promoted the New York State Department of Health's campaign Injury-freeKids,which was placed on our website.Maternal Child HealthIn 2011, the Department of Health made over 1,100 visits, assisting more than 500 mothers, infants andchildren enrolled in the maternal child health home visiting program. Education about childhood,

growth & development, positive parenting skills, breast feeding, injury prevention and the importanceof having a primary physician for themselves and their children. Public Health Nurses focus heavily onprevention of injury protection from Shaken Baby Syndrome, SIDS, and Second Hand Smoke, earlyidentification of Children with Special Health Care Needs and also provided education about healthyeating patterns, dental health and health activity to address the growing problem of childhood obesity.

29

In addition, Public Health Nurses work closely with the Department of Social Services Foster CareProgram to provide developmental screening and follow up for children ages birth to 3 years to insurethey have adequate medical care and immunizations.The DCDOH continues to be an active partner with local hospitals/ health care providers and .community -

based organizations to promote maternal child health initiatives such as:

• . Dutchess County Breastfeeding Coalition to raise awareness about the benefits of breastfeeding.The department participated in the 5th Annual Breastfeeding Awareness Walk in August with over350 participants to raise public awareness breastfeeding benefits.

• Vassar Brothers Medical Center Care Center - to provide home visiting services and education topregnant and postpartum women and infants

« Hudson River Health Care - to provide home visiting services and education to pregnant and postpartum women and infants.

« Dutchess County Healthy Families - to provide training and consultation. for family support workersin childhood growth and development and breastfeeding education and support services

• Lower Hudson Valley Perinatal Network - a network of health care and human services providerswho meet regularly about maternal child health issues. The department participates in an AnnualCommunity Health Education Day (CHED) event planned annually to educate pregnant andparenting families on a specific health topic

• HCAP - a network of individuals working together to increase access to care - the department oftenuses this venue to provide education on public health topics such as lead poisoning prevention andchildhood and adult immunizations.

The Children with Special Health Care Needs program is delivered through.the public health nursingdivision and provides valuable information to families regarding particular health issues and to serve asa source of information regarding support systems available in our community. Physical HandicappedChildren's Program provides financial assistance to parents of physically handicapped children. The goalof these programs is to improve access to care and services, assist with linkages to insurance coverageand insure a medical home. This year, the Children with Special Health Care Needs program serviced 26families and the Physical Handicapped Children's Program serviced 27 families.Under this program, the public health nursing division partnered with "Parent to Parent", a statewidenot for profit organization established to support and connect families of children with special healthcare needs, to deliver a successful program called the "Notebook Training". This program wasconducted in June of 2011 at the Eastern Dutchess Government Center where parents attended andlearned how to better organize complicated medical records and.information for their child to facilitateimproved communication with physicians and health care providers and also to promote parentaladvocacy for their child in navigating the health care delivery system. This program was so well receivedby the community, the department will be conducting additional programs in 2012.Early Intervention (EP and Preschool Special Education Programs .

The Early Intervention Program enrolled 1078 infants and toddlers with disabilities this year and workedto help them reach their developmental milestones where possible by providing special instruction,speech and motor therapy services and parent training.

At the start of 2011, seven employees from the Public Health Nursing Unit were re-assigned to theAdministration Unit and Early Intervention Program. The new team made changes in transition (from E!

30

to Preschool) procedures to achieve 100% compliance with transition regulations as determined byNYSDOH Bureau of Early Intervention. The new team also participated in an iPRO audit with few findingsthat were quickly corrected and accepted by NYSDOH. The NYS web based management system calledNYEIS went live on April1st and has presented many challenges to all counties that are still in the processof trying to be resolved. -The Preschool Special Education program provides evaluations and services for children ages threethrough five who have disabilities that affect their ability to achieve in an educational setting-.Approximately 1500 children each year receive evaluations, special education instruction, speech andmotor therapies and counseling in special education preschool programs or at home or in daycare.Approximately half the children who receive preschool services do not require further service once they .become school aged and are able to attend regular education programs along side their typicallydeveloping peers.Communicable Disease Control Division (CDCD)

In 2011, tick-borne infections such as Babesiosis, Anaplasmosis, Ehrlichiosis, and Powassan virusremained the focus of Dutchess County Department of Health education and prevention efforts. By theend of 2011, Dutchess County will most likely surpass 80 reported cases of Babesiosis. Cases ofAnaplasmosis/Ehrlichiosis remain high. There were no confirmed cases of Powassan virus this year.Although these infections are not as numerous as Lyme, they are potentially life threatening and canresult in significant long term neurologic effects.The Dutchess County Department of Health continues to collaborate on a National Science Foundationgrant with Bard College to study vector transmission of Anaplasmosis. The grant funding was used tosponsor the "Not Just Lyme; part 2" Physician's Conference in June 2011 which approximately 80 localproviders attended. DOH was able to present the- findings of the study given to physicians and otherhealthcare healthcare providers in 2010, regarding their knowledge on treatment and managementpractices and assessment of their needs. The data and final report, which was compiled, analyzed, andwritten by our biostatisticians and college interns, was completed and placed on the DC website in 2011.The Department continues to promote awareness of Lyme disease and prevention in our schools. Oneway is through , our "Be Tick Free" campaign. All school district superintendents are providedinformation on the annual Fight the Bite Poster campaign, sponsored by the Centers for Disease Controland Prevention, in June, a 6th grader from LaGrange Middle School was named the New York Statewinner of this nationwide campaign. This is the second consecutive year a Dutchess County student haswon.The Tuberculosis Control program has faced some challenges in 2011. Tuberculosis is becoming morecomplicated to treat, due to drug resistance with individuals requiring more intensive long termtreatment and case management. In 2011, there were 4 cases of active TB, a reduction from 12 casesreported in 2010 (2 of the cases from 2010 did continue all of 2011), 7 TB suspect cases requiredextensive investigation, and 69 individuals were treated for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI).

. The HIV Control Program had 41 new cases of HIV infection reported in DC for 2011, a 150% increasefrom 2010.

The County's HIV control program invested in the strategy Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,

recommended (prior to the 2010 HIV testing mandate that public health case finding efforts be31

transitioned to persons who were HIV infected as opposed to a broad spectrum outreach) approach byplacing all staffing resources into education and assistance to providers who diagnose new cases of H!Vinfection. Case finding and contact tracing efforts were concentrated on the interviewing and educatipnof HIV positive persons as opposed to targeting persons at high risk for infection. Through these efforts,Partner Services staff has identified and located nearly 60 persons who have been exposed to HIV.Staff conducted rapid testing for HIV in the field. Access to care and additiona! referral services were

. arranged for all persons found to be infected with HiV. Finding and treating new cases of HIV infectionhas proven to be the best way to successfully stop the spread of HIV infection and disease.Lead Primary PreventionThe Childhood Lead Poisoning Program is a collaborative effort mainly between Environmental HealthServices division (EHSD) and Public Health Nursing division (PHND). EHSD staff conduct evaluations forlead hazards of all properties where a child with an elevated blood lead level spends time; PHND do .follow up, blood level testing surveillance, case management to children and prenatal women withelevated blood levels, outreach and education.Of the 63 children in DC reported with elevated blood lead levels, 25 met the criteria of 15mcg/dL whichrequired EHSD investigation. In 2011, 34 environmental investigations were done and staff educatedthe property owner on the results of the investigation, outlined the local, state and federal regulationsto be followed in eliminating the lead hazards, and followed up with field visits and inspections until thelead hazards have been mitigated. The PHND made 80 public health nursing visits to provide educationand case management services.

This is the third year of the collaboration with the DCDOH and the City of Poughkeepsie for the LeadPrimary Prevention program. City of Poughkeepsie homes in the 12601, which the New York StateDepartment of Health has identified as the zip code with the highest annual incidence of Biood LeadLevel (BLL) in Dutchess County are targeted.Effective in April 2010, all contractors, painters, plumbers, electricians and landlords were required toattend training in Lead Safety prior to conducting any work activities on residential units built before '

1978. As part of the Lead Primary Prevention Program, the DOH has collaborated with DC BOCES tomanage and run classes in the US Environmental Protection Agency's Lead Safety for Remodeling,Repairand Painting. Consequently the county has been able to defray the cost of tuition for DC propertyowners and businesses. The first class in Spanish is being offered and is scheduled for early 2012.Education and outreach were conducted throughout 2011 on lead poisoning prevention. Through thePHN division, educational outreach was done monthly at WIC and DSS locations as well as paint andhardware stores. Over 70 outreach educationais were done reaching over 100 parents and storeowners. Outreach done at health fairs reached over1,000 community residents.Additionally to help address a disproportionafly high number of elevated blood levels in children in theCity of Poughkeepsie, a "Wipe Out Lead by Renovating Right!" campaign was instituted as part of thePrimary Lead prevention grant. It too promoted outreach through community events (Kids Expo),mediacampaign (billboards and releases), and an educational component to include giveaways and through-

the Lead-based Paint renovation, repair and painting training.

32

Lastly a DC PHN co-sponsored an event with Catharine Street Community Center during the summerwhere families received lead poisoning prevention information and cleaning products designed toreduce lead paint exposure.Adolescent Tobacco Use Prevention (ATUPA) and Clean Indoor ActThere were 314 tobacco retail vendors and one tobacco vending machine under permit with the •

department in 2011. Between Octoberi, 2010 and September 30, 2011,minors were used to completeapproximately 378 compliance checks at tobacco retail establishments and vending machinesthroughout the county. Forty-eight (48) adult compliance checks were also completed.. Adultcompliance checks are done at specific businesses and to also confirm that facilities with suspendedpermits are not selling tobacco products.As a result of these efforts, twenty-five (25) tobacco retailers were cited for selling tobacco products tominors. The total number of tobacco sale violations during the 2010/2011 fiscal year was virtuallyunchanged from the 2009/2010 fiscal year. -

The Dutchess County Department of Health also enforces the Clean Indoor Air Act at bars, restaurants,and other places of employment and areas open to the public. From January 1, 2011to date, eighteencomplaints of indoor smoking have been investigated.Public Water SuppliesThe Department currently regulates 684 public water supplies (PWS). In the city of Beacon, and the cityand town of Poughkeepsie, approximately 90,000 people rely on public water. This represents almostone-third of the population of Dutchess County. These larger community supplies, along with 125others, are regulated by the engineering section of the Environmental Health Services division. Watersupplies at facilities under permit (restaurants, motels, camps, day care centers, etc.) are inspected bypublic health sanitarians assigned to one of the three district offices. There are approximately 260 ofthese water supplies. The remaining supplies (300) are . monitored by the Department's WaterEnhancement Program staff.During 2011, as a result of 625 inspections, re-inspections, and sanitary surveys at public water supplies,475 violations were issued. The most common violations cited were: failure to monitor forcontaminants in a timely manner; incomplete or unacceptable reporting by the supplier of water; thepresence of a cross-connection between potable and non-potable water; unsatisfactory operation oftreatment equipment; source water pollution; failure to maintain disinfection chemicals at properconcentrations; and modification to the treatment system without approval.Over the course of the year samples were collected and analyzed for principal organic contaminants(POCs), which are most commonly associated with petroleum, fuel oils, and industrial processes.Onestablished sampling schedules, samples for POCs were collected at 151 of the 978 active public watersupply (PWS) wells. POCs were detected in 14 of these PWS wells,with three of these wells containingPOCs that exceeded the maximum contaminant limit of 5 parts per billion. Treatment to eliminate POCsis installed at the supplies served by the three wells exceeding the maximum contaminant level in theraw water,and this treatment is designed to remove all POCs from the water served to consumers.

33

PWS are consistently sampled for inorganic chemicals and coliform bacteria. During 2011, inorganicsamples were collected by water suppliers (657 samples)- and the Department (46 samples). Thecombined number of bacteriological samples taken by water supplies and this Department was 5,960 ofwhich 2 % were repeat samples to determine if a violation existed.

A continued emphasis is being placed on the presence of chlorides in drinking water at public watersupplies. Chloride is considered a "secondary contaminant" by EPA, in that its presence is not generally .a threat to health. It does, however, impart an objectionable taste and can contribute to corrosion ofplumbing fixtures. The overarching difficulty with chloride is that once it reaches high levels and must beremoved, the treatment is most exclusively "reverse'osmosis," which can be expensive and place anundue burden on on-site"sewage disposal fields. During 2011,samples were analyzed for chloride at 113water supplies. Five wells returned chloride in excess of 500 ppm. Two of those wells have beengranted temporary waivers from the chloride MCL Those waivers expire in 2012. The remaining threesupplies have installed treatment approved to reduce chloride to acceptable levels prior toconsumption.

A large share of field investigation and data processing involving public water supplies is theresponsibility of the Water Enhancement Program (WEP), which currently operates under a grant of$299,000 from New York State. WEP is audited quarterly by the NYS Department of Health's Bureau of.Water Supply Protection and evaluated for a variety of qualifying parameters. In addition, the USEnvironmental Protection Agency conducted a data verification audit in 2011. The conclusions reachedby these reviews are favorable to the program.In 2011, the Department of Health began contracting with private laboratory for water testing services.As part of this change, the following procedure modifications were made:• The reporting process from the laboratory was streamlined and made more efficient with an email

client that was programmed to save the sample report emails, and server computers wereprogrammed to index the reports and store them in a central location on the file server. The indexallows easy access to the reports by DCDOH employees. The index also aids in performing qualitycontrol checks to ensure that all samples that are paid for have actually been taken. Other newquality control applications were created to ensure that samples are entered into the New YorkState Safe Drinking Water Information System (SDWIS) database.

• Several major improvements were made to the data processing for laboratory sample billing towater facilities. A much more sophisticated system of tracking overdue bills was added. Betterstatistics and lists to assist in billing were developed and implemented. Tools to help save and findinvoices were added.

Engineering HighlightsDepartment of Health engineers approved 204' plans for subdivisions, individual lots, commercialproperties,public water and sewerage systems, and public swimming pools during 2011. Engineers alsoapproved water and sewer connections for Malcolm Hall at the Anderson School in Hyde Park, forhousing at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, as well as for the central water connection atLime Kiln recreational center in East Fishkill.

34

Additional accomplishments during 2011included:• The Department reviewed plans,reports and specifications for a state of the art membrane filtration

plant for the Village of Pawling water supply which will allow the Village to use its surface waterreservoir.This will provide greatly needed additional source capacity for the village water system.

• Town of Beekman received approval for improvements to its bathing beach at the Recreation Parkby raising the water level, providing a new beach bottom, improving the stone wall and adding newconcrete walls. The work was performed before the opening of the swimming season.

engineering section so that advice can be given to the Board of Health for possible revisions.• Work with DC Office of Computer information Systems and DC Planning is ongoing to include water

districts and public water supply distribution systems as layers in the GIS mapping program.« After conducting a performance analysis of the Eljen Geotextiie Sandfilter (GSF) subsurface sewage

disposal system, this Department has revised its policy regarding the sizing of Eljen GSF. This willallow the system to be installed on a smaller footprint.

During 2011, there were Weather Related Issues that Dutchess County experienced particularly tropical .weather systems which affected regulated water and sewer systems. Effects from these eventsincluded:• The Village of Rhinebeck water system, which has a surface water treatment plant, suffered from

the effects of storms Irene and Lee. A water main crossing the Landsman Kill Creek was damaged bythe floodwaters. A boil water order was generated and distributed throughout the Village. DCDOHimplemented the Rapid Notify phone system, and outreach was conducted to more than 2600phone numbers in the affected area. As water levels receded, the leaks were located and valvedoff. A 12" water main failed in an unrelated event, a 20' section of main and a valve were replaced.

• A sewer main crossing the Fishkil! Creek in the City of Beacon was damaged when a rock or debris ‘

impacted the line during Hurricane Irene.• The City of Beacon experienced a sanitary sewage overflow into a storm drainage pipe by the train

station following Hurricane Irene. The City continues to investigate the possibility of an intermittentdischarge of sanitary wastewater into the storm drainage system.

Community Sanitation HighlightsDuring 2011, the Poughkeepsie District Office, which oversees permitted facilities in the central regionof the county, was restructured due to staff retirements. Inspection duties were assigned to otherdivision personnel, and district lines were redrawn, transferring some facilities to the other districtoffices-.2011highlights included:• As a result of widespread power outages due to Hurricane Irene, outreach to food service

establishments via email and fax was performed. In addition, field, visits were conducted to areasthat were more severely affected.

• Inspections (Agricultural Fairgrounds and food service) were conducted at the Dutchess County Fair.• Environmental personnel canvassed the entire county on May 24th to ensure that specific toxic

substances were not being sold at certain stores. This was done in connection with a request fromNYSDOH. None of the dangerous substances were found. -

• DCDOH personnel visited the prisons in Dutchess County that are supplied cook/chiil food from acentral production and distribution center in -Oneida, NY, to determine existing procedures and tosuggest improvements. As a result of this investigation-, a new procedure and form to more

36

accurately monitor cooling and reheating of foods was developed for statewide use, and bettermonitoring and tracking of food products has occurred.

• Three disease outbreaks occurred at children's camps this summer. These outbreaks were theresult of person-to-person spread of infectious microorganisms; an enterovirus outbreak at onecamp resulted in a febrile illness with rash and vomiting,a suspected mycoplasma outbreak resultedin respiratory illness at another camp, and a bacteria or virus produced conjunctivitis at a thirdcamp.

• An informational email regarding norovirus was sent to all day care facilities.• The Environmental Health Director in cooperation with the County Attorney Office processed and

approved 13 Dutchess County solid waste hauler permits.® In May, a fox attacked and bit a Pleasant Valley man while he was working in his yard. Because it

was suspected of being rabid,the specimen was sent for emergency testing. The fox tested positivefor rabies and, as a result of the prompt action, rabies post-exposure treatment was able to bestarted immediately.

Environmental HazardsResponsibility for inspections for x-ray equipment at all medical facilities in Dutchess County andresponding to local radiological events reverted back to the NYS Department of Health in 2011. FromJuly to September, DCDOH staff coordinated with the NYSDOH staff to prioritize and completeinspections and re-inspections due so that there would be an orderly transition.Oil spill reports forwarded by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation were reviewed forpotential impacts to residential well water supplies. Staff conducts evaluations in accordance with theoil spill relocation policy and advises residents on relocation when appropriate. Inactive HazardousWaste reports were reviewed for ongoing monitoring and for potential impacts to both private andpublic water supplies.

Due to warm, wet weather, the Radiological and Environmental Health Assessment Program (REHAP)program fielded numerous mosquito ;complaints from schools and homeowners. These calls wereatypical in that the complaints indicated large numbers of day bitingmosquitoes.Also in 2011, REHAP had its first spring/summer smoke complaint of an outdoor wood boiler that wasused not only to heat the home but also the outdoor swimming pool.

Rabies Clinics and Post Exposure TreatmentsThe DCDOH hosted three rabies vaccination clinics for pets in 2011. These clinic services were offeredfree of charge to all Dutchess County residents. The clinic sites were dispersed throughout the county.The first clinic was held at the Millerton Firehouse in March,the second at the Dutchess County HighwayGarage in July, and the final clinic was held at the Stanford Firehouse in November. A total of 681 pets(dogs, cats and domestic ferrets) were vaccinated (192 - Millerton Firehouse; 252 - Dutchess CountyHighway Garage; 237 -Stanford Firehouse).The Public Health Nursing division provided rabies post exposure treatment to approximately 30patients and provided over 70 visits to these patients.Special Community EducationThe department offered drowning prevention seminars to lifeguards and other members of the generalpublic interested in learning about drowning victim recognition. In 2011, eleven drowning preventionseminars were conducted,reaching a total of 173 individuals.

Eighteen Food safety trainings were provided to restaurant owner/operators, food service managersand food service workers in 2011. Approximately 135 individuals were educated about food safetyprinciples and how to implement effective food safety management systems in their food serviceestablishments.DCDOH staff also provided training to Emergency Room staff at Vassar Hospital and St. Francis Hospitalon rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (RPEP), including guidance on understanding when to administerRPEP and how to administer it properly.

Communications and Public Health Information designed to increase awareness in order to help reducehealth risk and promote better health was disseminated to the community through the use of PublicHealth advisories, press releases, monthly Poughkeepsie Journal articles, six Commissioner’s columnarticles (which to date has received 311 hits on our website), Quarterly Morbidity report, Veterinarian

38

Newsletter, we were able to reach over 700 healthcare providers, 50,000 students and faculty, and over35,000 individuals who attend summer camps on issues such as Pertussis, Pneumonia, Influenza,Foodborne illness, Bedbugs, Rabies, Arthropod diseases and more throughout the year. All informationis then placed on the county website page, where there were more than 351,877 website hits in 2011.Access to Care InitiativesFor 2011 the DC NACo Prescription discount drug program, which is not an insurance plan affords allresidents to join for free and utilize this program for medications (including those with insurance, whoseplan does not cover certain medications). For 2011, as of November, 8,076 residents were served, atotal of 14,271 prescriptions were covered with a total savings YTD of $353,243.00 or 30.51% perprescription. .

This August the County launched with NACo the DC NACo Dental discount program. Like theprescription discount drug,program it not an insurance plan. Participants sign up for free and are able tosave between 5- 50% off their, dental care (to include oral exams, cleanings, dentures, root canals,crowns and more) utilizing participating, dentists. As of November 2011,165 residents have signed upfor this program. It is too eariy to know the cost savings. Since its inception, there have been 782 hits to,

the county website.

The Department continued to work with Maternal Infant Services Network to increase DC referrals toChild Health Pius and Family Health Plus. Informational packets were put together in both English andSpanish and distributed to DOH clinics and nursing home visits. Additionally, a mailing was sent to allsuperintendents and principals in DC in both English and Spanish with complete information, includingfinancial requirements for them to copy and sent home with each child.Medical Examiner's OfficeThe Dutchess County Medical Examiner's Office works closely with law enforcement and other Countyagencies, and strives to inform, educate and support all County and State agencies concerned withsudden unexpected or suspicious deaths in previously healthy individuals, violent deaths due tohomicide, suicide or accident, pediatric deaths, deaths at the work place, and deaths in custody. TheMedical Examiner's Office is also actively involved in investigating patterns of drug abuse along with iawenforcement and other County agencies.• In 2011,.the Medical Examiner's Office investigated more than 800 cases.• The number of cases requiring a full autopsy remains constant at 25-30% of cases reported and

attests to the excellence of our medicolegal investigator staff. The increase in case load in 2011 isprincipally attributable to an increase in vehicular deaths and drug overdoses (both illicit andprescription) compared to prior years:

• The purchase of a refrigerated morgue trailer for storing bodies in the event of a multiple fatalityincident has been made possible through grant funding.

• In compliance with emergency preparedness directives, the Medical Examiner's Office is planning anall fatality mass disaster exercise in May 2012 at the Emergency Response Center in Hyde Park; totest the activation of the Regional Multiple Fatality Management Response Plan, set up a temporarymorgue, explore victim identification procedures,and stand up a Family Assistance Center.

Community Health and Assessments'

Community health assessment is defined as a part of a strategic plan that describes the health of thecommunity by collecting, analyzing and . using data to educate and mobilize communities, develop

39

priorities, garner resources and plan actions for improvement, it is an essential function of PublicHealth Departments. In 2011,we engaged in several assessments, including:

. • HEALNY9• Healthy Community Access Partnership (HCAP)• Community Health Assessment - "Health and Well Being of Children, Families and Adults in Dutchess

County"• "The immigrant Health Initiative- A Study of Health Care of Recent Immigrants in Dutchess County"

Report

Weights and Measures DivisionAs part of the overall restricting of Dutchess County Government in 2011, Weights & Measure wasreassigned under the auspices of the Health Department in January. This gave the division the ability tocarry out its mandated inspections with one less staff member. The division was able to carry outinspections of commercial seals, gas pumps, home heating fuel delivery meters, package commodities,and scanner and item pricing found in retail establishments, with assurance of accuracy.

BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Poughkeepsie as follows:

I. Article IV of Chapter 210 of the Town of Poughkeepsie Zoning Code entitled "Residence District

Regulations” is hereby amended as follows:

Senior Housing Overlay District (SHOD)§210-20

A) District Purpose. This overlay district is to encourage the provision of housing opportunities

for elderly residents who do not require nursing or alternate care housing. Such housing

may include Senior Housing-Age Restricted, Senior Housing -Assisted Living Facility or, a

combination of both, and would be located in appropriate business and commercially zoned

areas that would benefit from mixed use development. As determined by the Town Board

the inclusion of subsidized and unsubsidized age restricted multi-family residential

development would be compatible with and complimentary to office and business uses which

may be developed from a single parcel of land or from land accumulated for contemporaneous

development of residential and non-residential uses (collectively the “Parent Parcel”). A

Senior Housing Overlay District designation may be permitted, at the sole discretion of the

Town Board as a Zoning Map amendment subject to such additional terms and conditions as

the Town Board may require, for parcels at locations within the; i) Highway Business (BH)

District or; ii) the Office Research (OR) District; or in) Residence, Multi-Family (R-M)

District which meet the General Requirements and Design Criteria set forth herein.

B) General Requirements. An application for a Senior Housing Overlay District designation

shall be subject to the following general requirements:

1) Location. A Senior Housing Overlay District designation shall only be permitted as an

overlay district for property located within the Highway Business (B'H) District, or the

Office Research (OR) District, or the Residence, Multi-Family (R-M) District.

2) Minimum land area. To qualify for SHOD designation the minimum land area of the

Parent Parcel shall be no less than five (5) contiguous acres of land.

3) Minimum lot frontage. The minimum lot frontage of the Parent Parcel shall be no less

than three hundred fifty (350) feet of continuous frontage on a New York State Highway.

The minimum lot frontage requirement may also be satisfied by the lot frontage of

another lot or combination of other lots where all of the lots are part of an approved

February 2, 20121

Business Park development and where each of the lots are included in a reciprocal

easement agreement or covenant whereby the primary access to all of the lots is from a

shared access road or driveway at the State Highway. Said access shall be capable of

being used, or improved for use, as the primary ingress and egress to the proposed senior

residence development.

Services. The site shall, in the opinion of the Town Board, be conveniently located with

respect to retail, medical and public transportation services.4)

5) Utilities. The site must be served by town central sewage disposal and water supply

facilities of sufficient capacity to service the proposed development. Unless determined

to be infeasible by the Planning Board, all utilities, including electric and

communications lines shall be installed underground.

C) Site Plan Approval. The development of any Senior Housing Overlay District project (herein

“SHOD Project”) is subject to site plan and/or subdivision approval by the Planning Board

after Town Board approval of the Senior Housing Overlay District.

D) Design Criteria. The following Design Criteria shall apply to any SHDO Project.

l) Area and bulk requirements for any lot subdivided as part of a SHOD project. In the

event of such subdivision as is set forth herein, the dimensional, area, and setbacks

requirements of this Chapter shall not be applicable as between the individual

subdivided SHOD parcels, but shall be maintained as to perimeter setbacks applicable to

the Parent Parcel at the boundary with adjacent parcels of land that are not part of the

SHOD project being built within the Parent Parcel. The overall mixed use project in a

Senior Housing Overlay District, disregarding the individual lot lines created by the

subdivision, shall otherwise comply with the dimensional, area, setbacks and parking

requirements of this Chapter provided that no part of any building shall be closer than

15 feet to any other building or property line within such subdivided Parent Parcel.

Overlay District, and for the purpose of reducing the amount of lot area devoted to

surface parking, the creation of structured parking in parking garages is encouraged,

February 2, 20123

and parking on any part of the Parent Parcel may be used to meet the parking

Town Board the Planning Board shall make a recommendation to the Town Board as to

whether, in the opinion of the Planning Board, the application supports a Senior Housing

Overlay District designation. The applicant or the applicant’s representatives shall be

and welfare of the community, attach to the designation any reasonable conditions or

requirements for the applicant to meet. The decision of the Board shall be filed in the

office of the Town Clerk within five (5) business days of the date such decision is

the Senior Housing Overlay District or within three (3) years from the date of Planning

Board site plan and/or subdivision approvals, and completed within three (3) years of the

date of such commencement, then the SHOD designation shall be null and void and all rights

and approvals and permits therein shall terminate unless the Town Board, for good cause,

Report Number: S9-11-04

Dear Mr. Steinhaus and Members of the County Legislature:

A top priority of the Office of the State Comptroller is to help county officials manage theirresources efficiently and effectively and, by so doing, provide accountability for tax dollars spentto support county operations. The Comptroller oversees the fiscal affairs of counties statewide,as well as compliance with relevant statutes and observance of good business practices. Thisfiscal oversight is accomplished, in part, through our audits, which identify opportunities forimproving county operations and governance. Audits also can identify strategies to reduce costsand to strengthen controls intended to safeguard county assets.

In accordance with these goals, we conducted an audit of six counties throughout New YorkState. The objective of our audit was to determine whether counties have designed controls toensure that they inspect and test devices used to price goods in accordance with regulations. Weincluded Dutchess County (County) in this audit. Within the scope of this audit, we examined theCounty’s process for testing and inspecting devices for weighing and measuring for the periodJanuary 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011. This audit was conducted pursuant to Article V, Section1 of the State Constitution, and the State Comptroller’s authority as set forth in Article 3 of theGeneral Municipal Law.

This report of examination letter contains our findings specific to Dutchess County. Wediscussed the findings and recommendations with County officials and considered theircomments, which appear in Appendix B, in preparing this report. County officials generallyagree with our findings and recommendations and plan to initiate corrective action. Appendix Ccontains our comments on issues raised in the County’s response letter. At the completion of ouraudit of the six counties, we prepared a global report that summarizes the significant issues weidentified at all of the counties audited.

Summary of Findings

We found the County can improve its controls and monitoring over weights and measures byupdating the inventory of establisbments/devices that should be included in annual testing. TheCounty does not have a notification system and the Division of Weights and Measures (Division)

did not have an inventory of retail businesses to monitor pricing accuracy (e.g., UniversalProduct Code (UPC) scanning devices). However, the County does perform price accuracy tests.Of the 25 pricing accuracy tests conducted in 2010, only 48 percent of the establishmentsinspected were in compliance with Local regulations. Further, the Division has not compliedwith State Law; our test of 20 businesses having 262 devices found that inspections were notconducted for 27 devices, or 10 percent.

These control weaknesses have put County consumers at risk of not receiving the amount orquality of the commodities they seek, and of paying incorrect prices for them.

Background and Methodology

The County covers 802 square miles and has approximately 297,400 residents. The County’s2011 adopted budget totaled approximately $403.9 million.

The County is governed by a 25-member County Legislature. The County Executive is theCounty’s chief executive officer and is responsible, along with other administrative staff, for theCounty’s day-to-day management. As of January 2011, the County Weights and MeasuresDivision is under the supervision of the County Department of Health. The Division has a fulltime Director, two full time Inspectors and a Secretary.1 The New York State Department ofAgriculture and Markets, through its subdivision, the State Bureau of Weights and Measures(State Bureau), helps the Division achieve its mission’s goals and provides oversight of theDepartment’s operations. The Division’s budget was approximately $330,000 in fiscal year2011.

New York State Codes, Rules, and Regulations require that all devices used to weigh andmeasure commodities that are sold on the basis of their weight, volume or size be inspected andtested for accuracy at least once a year. Such devices include gas pumps, scales, truck-mountedoil meters, wire and cordage meters, and other devices. In 2010, per its annual report, the Countyhad 832 active establishments in its jurisdiction with 3,709 devices that require various testingand certifications.

In addition, packaged commodities are subject to inspection to ensure that the packages containthe amount of the commodity indicated on the label. Gasoline and diesel fuels sold for use inmotor vehicles are subject to inspection to ensure that the fuels meet certain quality standardsand are properly labeled for sale. The State Department of Agriculture and Markets, as part of itsWeights and Measures Program, oversees all of these inspection activities. The County Weightsand Measures Division is required to submit an annual report of work completed during the yearto the State Bureau.

The Division shares the responsibility for performing these inspections with the State Bureau. In2010, the Division inspected approximately 830 establishments throughout the County that haveweighing/measuring devices and packaged commodities, and use gasoline and diesel fuel pumps.The State Bureau inspects selected specialized weighing/measuring devices, such as large scales,

1 In 2010, the County Weights and Measures Division had a full time Director, one full time Inspector and aSecretary.

2

and gasoline and diesel fuels sold by distribution terminals. In addition to performing thespecialized inspections, the State Bureau provides training to the Division’s inspectors.

In addition, the law also addresses retail pricing accuracy. To comply with retail pricingstandards, 98 percent of the items in a selected sample must be accurately priced. Inspectorsfinding non-compliance with the 98 percent accuracy rate may impose civil penalties as outlinedin the law. The State laws do not prescribe a frequency of testing pricing accuracy. The Countyhas a local law which it follows for the testing of pricing accuracy.

To - complete our objective, we interviewed County officials and reviewed policies andprocedures to determine the County’s process relating to weights and measures. See Appendix Afor audit methodology.

We conducted this performance audit in accordance with generally accepted governmentauditing standards (GAGAS). Those standards require that we plan and perform our audit toobtain sufficient, appropriate evidence to provide a reasonable basis for our findings andconclusions based on our audit objective. We believe that the evidence obtained provides areasonable basis for our findings and conclusions based on our audit objective.

Audit Results

A good system of internal controls over the inspection of weights and measures includespractices and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that the County is adequatelyprotecting consumers by conducting all required device inspections. These procedures shouldinclude an annual review of the business establishments and associated devices subject toinspection, evaluations of businesses’ progress remedying any noted deficiencies, andenforcement actions, if necessary. The Division should have a process to receive and investigateconsumer complaints, retest devices that failed inspection, and test new or replacement devicesinstalled by business establishments. In addition, an up-to-date inventory list of all scanning,

. weighing and measuring devices in use within the County is important and required to helpensure complete testing coverage.

We found that improvement opportunities exist over the Division’s controls for ensuringcompliance with the State Bureau’s weights and measures testing requirements in the County.The County can improve its process to update the inventory of businesses/devices required forinspection, as well as for retail businesses for pricing accuracy inspections. In addition, theDivision has not complied with State Law; our test of 20 businesses having 262 devices found .

that inspections were not completed for 27 devices, or 10 percent.

Inventory Listing of Establishments - Regulations as well as good internal controls require theCounty to maintain a complete and accurate inventory list of businesses with weighing andmeasuring devices, including price accuracy devices. In order for County officials to monitor andenforce the inspection requirements, they must first establish a system to identify and track theweighing and measuring devices, and their business locations, in the County.

Although the County has good internal controls over testing of weighing and measuring devices,it can improve its controls by developing a process to update the master list of applicable

3

business locations eligible for inspection and by creating an inventory of retail businesses forpricing accuracy inspections..

The County has a master list of weighing and measuring establishments and the number ofdevices at each, which serves as the annual work plan by which the Division tracks allinspections. However, there is no reliable process in place to ensure this list is up-to-date. TheCounty’s current process to update the master listing is limited to having a presence throughoutthe County and making themselves aware of new businesses.

In addition, the County does not have an inventory of retail businesses in the County for pricingaccuracy inspections. While not specifically mandated, the testing of pricing accuracy devices isconsistent with the State requirements for pricing accuracy. In 2010, the Division reported zeroin the pricing accuracy inspection section of the Annual Report. However, OSC staff wereprovided with inspection records for 25 pricing accuracy inspections for 2010. County officialsindicated that this has always been the Division’s process for documenting pricing accuracyinspections in the Annual Report. Of these 25 pricing accuracy inspections conducted, 12establishments, or 48 percent, were in compliance with the Local regulations. Considering thefact that 52 percent of the pricing accuracy inspections resulted in non-compliance with localaccuracy requirements, significant risk exists across the County that retail item prices are notaccurate and that consumers could be paying incorrect prices.

Inspections of Weighing and Measuring Devices - Per the 2010 annual report, the Divisionconducted 3,703 inspections of weighing and measuring devices in which approximately 94percent or 3,472 passed.

We reviewed the documentation for 20 inspections, which showed the Division inspecting 20businesses with 144 weights and measures devices including computing scales, platform scales,customer scales, vehicle scales, jewelry scales, petroleum pumps, console (receipt) devices, pre-pack scales, pharmacy scales, pharmacy weights, and octane samples. These inspectionscontained tests that both passed and failed. We found that the inspections reviewed werecomplete and detailed and matched the master list specifications.

We then judgmentally visited 20 businesses throughout the County and found 27 of 262 devices,or 10 percent, did not have evidence of an accurate, up-to-date inspection. We found that 24devices had no sticker and three devices had an outdated inspection sticker. For example, oneelectronic scale had a sticker with a March 2007 date on it. The majority of the 24 deviceswithout an inspection sticker were timing devices (air compressors and vacuum stations);however, there were 3 electronic scales with no inspection stickers. The Division Directorinformed us that the Division does not inspect timing devices which is required by State law.We found evidence for the 238 devices with an inspection sticker in the Division’s masterinventory listing/database.

Due to the control weaknesses and lack of proper inspections performed, consumers in theCounty are at an increased risk of purchasing commodities that may not be at the desiredquantity, quality or price.

Complaint Follow up Process-Effective controls over weights and measures inspection requirethat the County has procedures in place to receive and track complaints, and that the Division

4

review and address all complaints in a timely manner. Regulations require that the Divisionmaintain a complete record of all complaints received and the results of the complaintsinvestigated.

We found the County has a tracking mechanism in place to record complaints and generallyfollows up on complaints within one or two days. The Division quickly addresses each complaintand attempts to reconnect with complainants to keep them apprised. The Division received 19complaints in 2010 and addressed them on average within 1.2 business days.

Recommendations

1. The County should implement a system to notify its Weights and MeasuresDivision when a new business is opening in the County.

2. The Division should maintain an up-to-date inventory of businesses with devices used forpricing accuracy, weighing, and measuring.

3. County Officials should ensure the Division complies with State regulations and inspectsall applicable devices annually.

The County Legislature has the responsibility to initiate corrective action. A written correctiveaction plan (CAP) that addresses the findings and recommendations in this report should beprepared and forwarded to our office within 90 days, pursuant to Section 35 of the GeneralMunicipal Law. For more information on preparing and filing your CAP, please refer to ourbrochure, Responding to an OSC Audit Report, which you received with the draft audit report.We encourage the County Legislature to make this plan available for public review in the Clerkof the County Legislature’s office.

Our office is available to assist you upon request. If you have any further questions, pleasecontact Ann Singer, Chief of Regional and Statewide Projects, at (607) 721-8310.

DUTCHESS COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTHWEIGHTS & MEASURES DIVISIONSTATE COMPTROLLER AUDIT RESPONSE

In the section Background and Methodology it states that in 2011, the Division has a Mi-time Director, two Ml-time Inspectors and a Secretary. The largest portion of this Audit is forthe: time period of .2010, In 2010, the department’s function was enforcing both Weights and [seeMeasures, Consumer Affairs Local and State Laws. The department had two people retire;creating vacancies during the County’s pending restructuring of the department into a divisionwithin the County Department of Health. The division consisted of a Ml-time Director, one Ml-time Inspector and one Secretary during the period of July 8, 2010, through January 21, 201L

The department set priorities to complete its mandated inspections with limited resourcesby inspecting establishments which had the most significant impact on the consumers ofDutchess County, Supermarkets, gasoline stations, home hearing delivery meters, petroleumquality testing, item price and scanner accuracy were made top priority. Smaller delicatessentype establishments were then last to be inspected. Due to limited resources and time restraints,a small number of low volume stores were not inspected in 2010. Stores not inspected in 2.010

:are being inspected in 2011, and those inspected to date have passed their device inspections.These inspections show that County consumers were not at risk of not receiving the correctamount or paying incorrect prices for them.

Inventory Listing of Establishments

The. division’s computer program is an on-going process. The new program wasimplemented two years ago. It is a work in progress that is being continually enhanced, It has amaster list but changes will be made during the division restructuring to provide moreinformation. We have requested that thesechanges be made.

The Audit states that the division does hot inspect timing devices. The division, like Seeother jurisdictions, would investigate a complaint if notified. .Since we have no recordedcomplaints, our limited resources axe better utilized on devices that have greater impact to

. consumers of Dutchess County.

Note 1Page 10

Note 2Page 10.

In view of the ever increasing burden of state mandates, rising state pension costs, andfee state’s 2% property tax cap on all counties and municipalities effective for 2012,. we canassure you fee Dutchess County Department of Health is doing everything possible within thelimited resources available to insure consumers are purchasing commodities at the desiredquantity, quality and price.

OSC’S COMMENTS ON COUNTY OFFICIALS’ RESPONSE

Note1

The audit report has been updated to reflect this information.

Note 2

While County officials may believe they have prioritized County resources to serve the bestinterest of the consumer, the Law relating to Weights and Measures is specific with regard toannual testing. Thus, the County must comply with regulations and inspect these devicesannually.

OFFICE OF THE NEW YORK STATE COMPTROLLER

State of New YorkOffice of the State ComptrollerEXECUTIVE SUMMARY

New York State's weights and measures program is a cooperative effort of State and local officesenforcing a single State law. The NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets’ State Bureauof Weights and Measures (State Bureau) has jurisdiction over the entire State for enforcementand monitoring of weights and measures. State Law mandates that each county have a weightsand measures inspection function, and there are 57 county and six city weights and measuresdepartments providing services to their communities. Our audit examined six counties (Broome,Clinton, Dutchess, Ontario, Schoharie and Tompkins) to determine if the counties’ departments ofweights and measures are ensuring weights and measures laws are being followed.

New York State Codes, Rules, and Regulations (NYCRR) require that all devices used to weighand measure commodities that are sold on the basis of their weight, volume or size be inspectedand tested for accuracy at least once a year. State laws also require that pricing accuracy devicesbe available for inspection, but do not prescribe the frequency of testing for pricing accuracy.

Scope and Objective

The objective of our audit was to determine whether counties had controls in place to ensurecompliance with weights and measures laws for the period January 1, 2010 through July 31, 2011.Our audit .addressed the following related question:

• Do counties inspect and test weighing and measuring devices used to price goods inaccordance with regulations, and investigate consumer complaints in a timely manner?

Audit Results

We found that two of die six counties did not perform the required inspections of weighing andmeasuring devices. Schoharie failed to conduct inspections at 59 percent of the establishmentstested, and Dutchess failed to conduct inspections at 10 percent of such establishments.

We also found that three of the six counties did not test for pricing accuracy, and that the frequencyof testing ranged widely, from 275 tests in Ontario and 25 in Dutchess to just three tests in Clinton.The other three counties (Broome, Schoharie and Tompkins) did not test pricing accuracy at all,even though product pricing affects the everyday lives of all consumers.

DIVISION OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND SCHOOL ACCOUNTABILITY

Unless counties conduct required inspections of weighing devices and make good faith effortsto verify pricing accuracy at vendor locations, consumers could pay more than necessary forpurchases. Counties can do a better job of protecting consumers by maintaining up-to-dateinventories of retail businesses for both inspection and price testing purposes, and by documentinginspection and test results.

We also found that three counties (Broome, Schoharie, and Tompkins) did not have documentationto support the number of complaints received and the actions taken to address them, as required byregulations. Without proper documentation, county officials have no assurance that complaints arepromptly investigated and resolved to protect consumers’ interests.

Comments of Local Officials

The results of our audit and recommendations have been discussed with county officials and theircomments, which appear in Appendix A, have been considered in preparing this report.

OFFICE OF THE NEW YORK STATE COMPTROLLER

Introduction

New York State's weights and measures program is a cooperativeeffort of State and local offices enforcing a single State law(Law).1 The New York State Department of Agriculture andMarkets’ State Bureau of Weights and Measures (State Bureau)has jurisdiction over the entire State for enforcement andmonitoring of compliance with statutory requirements relatedto weights and measures. Each county must have a weights andmeasures inspection function; certain cities, while not required toestablish this function, have elected to do so. In total, 57 countyweights and measures departments and six city departmentsprovide services to their communities.

Background

State officials have concurrent authority with local officials toconduct inspections throughout the State, but local officialshave authority only in their own municipality. The State Bureauis responsible for conducting inspections of devices suchas vehicle scales, truck meters and terminal meters. Localdepartments are responsible for enforcing the Law andregulationsby inspecting and testing weighing and measuring devices usedcommercially to ensure they are accurate, inspecting and testingpackaged commodities to verify the accuracy of vendor pricing,and investigating consumer and business complaints. The Lawrequires that all retail stores display the retail price of each unitoffered for sale, charge this price to the consumer at checkout, andpost a refund policy to address overcharges. If the vendor usesa Universal Product Code (UPC) scanner system to determinethe price charged, the vendor must allow inspection officials toaccess the checkout systems to verify pricing accuracy. To be incompliance with accurate pricing standards, the Law requiresthat 98 percent of the items in a selected sample be accuratelypriced, or the vendor may be subject to civil penalties or a fine.

Counties may pass their own local laws relating to weights andmeasures and are required to submit an Annual Report to the StateBureau documenting the total number of weighing/measuringdevices in their jurisdiction (by type of device), the number ofdevices inspected and tested during the year, the number testedthat were correct (or within tolerance) and incorrect, and thenumber of devices not tested. Counties must also report on the

1 Agriculture and Markets Law, Sections 16, 18 and 179

DIVISION OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND SCHOOL ACCOUNTABILITY

price accuracy tests they conducted, the number of complaintsthey received and the actions taken to address the complaints.

We audited six counties from across the State (Broome, Clinton,Dutchess, Ontario, Schoharie and Tompkins Counties). Table 1provides relevant statistics for each county.

OFFICE OF THE NEW YORK STATE COMPTROLLER

The objective of our audit was to determine whether countieshad controls in place to ensure compliance with weights andmeasures laws. Our audit addressed the following relatedquestion:

Objective

• Do counties inspect and test weighing and measuringdevicesused to price goods inaccordancewith regulations,and investigate consumer complaints in a timely manner?

Scope and Methodology For the period January 1, 2010 to July 31, 2011, we interviewedcounty officials, reviewed Annual Reports, reviewed inspectiontesting, conducted field visits to businesses, and reviewedcomplaint documentation.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally acceptedgovernment auditing standards (GAGAS). More information onsuch standards and the methodology used in performing thisaudit is included in Appendix B of this report.

The results of our audit and recommendations have beendiscussed with county officials and their comments, whichappear in Appendix A, have been considered in preparing thisreport.

Comments ofCounty Officials

DIVISION OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND SCHOOL ACCOUNTABILITY

Monitoring Weights and Measures

The Law and regulations exist to ensure that consumers canrely on the accuracy of vendor scales and other weighing andmeasuring devices, and can expect to pay advertised prices fortheir purchases. However, two of the six counties we auditeddid not comply with inspection requirements, and three countiesfailed to perform any price accuracy tests; therefore, consumersin some counties have little assurance that the goods they buyare correctly weighed or accurately priced. Counties can do abetter job of protecting consumers by maintaining up-to-dateinventories of retail businesses for both inspection and pricetesting purposes, and by documenting inspection and test results.It is also important that counties maintain complete records ofthe complaints they receive, and the actions they take to addressthem, so consumers can be confident that their concerns areinvestigated and resolved.

County officials are responsible for protecting consumers byinspecting weighing and measuring devices and verifying pricingaccuracy, as required by the Law and regulations. While fourof the six counties performed required inspections, Schoharieand Dutchess failed to conduct inspections in 59 percent and 10percent of the establishments tested, respectively. Three countiestested for pricing accuracy, but the frequency of testing rangedwidely, from 275 tests in Ontario and 25 in Dutchess to justthree in Clinton. The other three counties (Broome, Schoharieand Tompkins) did not test pricing accuracy at all, even thoughproduct pricing affects the everyday lives of all consumers. TheLaw’s silence regarding the frequency of price accuracy testscontributes to the inconsistent nature of counties’ verificationefforts. Unless counties conduct required inspections of weighingdevices and make good faith efforts to verify pricing accuracy atvendor locations, consumers could pay more than necessary forpurchases.

Inspecting Devices andTesting Prices

Weights and Measures Inspections - New York State Codes,Rules, and Regulations3 (NYCRR) require that all devices used toweigh and measure commodities that are sold on the basis of theirweight, volume, or size be inspected and tested for accuracy atleast once a year, and that a sticker be affixed to show the monthand year the inspection took place. Such devices include weighing

3 Administrative and General Requirements, New York State Weights andMeasures Regulations 1 NYCRR, Part 220, Issued October 1, 2009

OFFICE OF THE NEW YORK STATE COMPTROLLER8

devices, petroleum dispensing devices, volumetric measures(e.g., milk tanks), linear measures and linear measuring devices(e.g., fabric, wire) and timing devices (e.g., timed vacuums atgas stations). In addition, packaged commodities are subject toinspection to ensure that the packages contain the amount ofthe commodity indicated on the label. Gasoline and diesel fuelssold for use in motor vehicles are subject to inspection to ensurethat the fuels meet certain quality standards and are properlylabeled for sale. When county officials do not inspect weighingand measuring devices annually to ensure they are workingproperly, the consumer is at risk of paying more than necessaryfor purchases.

We visited 20 judgmentally selected businesses from throughouteach county to verify that county officials had performed avalid inspection of each device. We found that four of sixcounties inspected and tested weighing and measuring devicesin accordance with State regulations; however, two counties(Dutchess and Schoharie) had not tested/inspected all requireddevices. In Schoharie, county officials had no evidence that 78 of133 of the devices tested (59 percent) had been inspected timely.Schoharie officials attributed the deficiencies to the formerDirector and a lack of monitoring by the oversight .committee.Of the 78 devices, 56 did not have timely inspections and five hadno inspection at all. For the remaining 17 devices, we could notdetermine when the inspection occurred because the inspectionstickers were mis-dated (see the example below) and otherdocumentation was not available.

DIVISION OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND SCHOOL ACCOUNTABILITY

In Dutchess, county officials had no evidence that 27 of 262 ofthe devices tested (10 percent) had been inspected timely. Themajority of these devices were timing devices (air compressorsand vacuums). According to the Director, the County simplydid not review the timing devices because County officialsbelieve their time was better spent conducting pricing accuracytests. However, County officials do not have the discretion toomit inspections for any devices that are required by statute to beinspected.

Price Accuracy Testing - The Law requires that vendors makepricing scanning devices (checkout scanners that read productUPC codes) available for inspection by county department staff.To comply with retail pricing standards set in regulations, theprice of 98 percent of the items in a selected sample of vendoritems must be accurate; that is, the scanned price must matchthe publicly advertised price. We found three counties (Clinton,Dutchess and Ontario) conducted pricing accuracy testing onan annual basis to provide consumers with some assurance ofpricing accuracy. As shown in Table 3, vendor samples did notmeet the 98 percent accurate standard in a significant number oftests. Although we found that pricing errors were both in favorof the consumer and in favor of the retail store, the presence ofpricing errors puts both consumers and retailers at risk.

The remaining counties indicated they do not have the resourcesand necessary training to conduct these tests. Officials in thesecounties also stated that they did not test for pricing accuracybecause the Law does not require them to do so. It is correctthat the Law requires only that pricing accuracy devices beavailable for inspection, and does not prescribe the frequency oftesting. However, county officials should not need the State tomandate that they test pricing accuracy devices. Regular testingis a valuable practice that protects both consumers and retailers.When counties do not conduct these tests, consumers are at

OFFICE OF THE NEW YORK STATE COMPTROLLER0

higher risk of overpaying for purchases, and businesses are athigher risk of losing revenue due to pricing errors.

Inventory of Businesses - The regulations require counties tofollow certain practices and procedures to obtain reasonableassurance that they are adequately protecting consumers byconducting all required device inspections. Regulations requireeach county to report annually on the number of businessestablishments in the county and the devices that are subjectto inspection and the results of inspections. Counties must alsoprovide evaluations of businesses’ progress in remedying anynoted deficiencies and report enforcement actions, if necessary.To provide for comprehensive reporting to the State Bureau,counties should have an up-to-date inventory list of all retailstores and all weighing and measuring devices in these storesto help ensure complete testing coverage. Counties could usethe same inventory of businesses to select locations for tests ofpricing accuracy.

We found that two counties (Broome and Schoharie) currentlyuse other county resources to update the inventory of businessesfor weights and measures. The Broome County Clerk providesa list of new businesses to the department. The department theninvestigates the business to find out if devices need to beinspected and updates the master list. Schoharie has a goodsystem in place to notify the weights and measures departmentof new businesses; however, the department did not havean inventory of all county businesses, and lacked adequatedocumentation to support most of thedepartment’s annual testing.The remaining four counties rely on their presence throughoutthe county and on the complaint system to keep the inventory ofbusinesses and devices current. None of the counties had a list ofretail stores to use for conducting pricing accuracy tests. Countiescannot ensure that they perform all the inspections required byLaw unless they maintain an up-to-date list of businesses anddevices for inclusion on the county’s annual work plan.

Effective controls over weights and measures require thatcounties haveprocedures in place to receive and track complaints,and that the counties review and address all complaints in atimely manner. Regulations require that the counties maintain acomplete record of all complaints received and the results of thecomplaints investigated.

Consumer Complaints

Each county has tracking mechanisms in place to recordcomplaints and document the actions taken, and each county

DIVISION OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND SCHOOL ACCOUNTABILITY 11

reported complaints on its 2010 Annual Report. We found featthree counties (Clinton, Dutchess, and Ontario) had adequatesupporting documentation of complaints received. The 48complaints we reviewed for these counties were properlydocumented and the average response time was about 24 hours.

However, the other three counties (Broome, Schoharie, andTompkins) did not have documentation to support the numberof complaints they reported they had received and the actionsthey took to address them. Generally, these county officialssaid most complaints were for octane quality and they addressthese complaints by choosing fee octane sample from thatvendor for testing during fee following month. According tofee department Directors in these counties, most complaints areunfounded.However,because these counties do not document feecomplaints, there is no evidence of fee nature of fee complaints,how long fee department took to address fee complaints, or whydepartment staff determined that they were unfounded. Withoutproper documentation, county officials have no assurance featcomplaints are promptly investigated and resolved to protectconsumers’ interests.

To County Officials:Recommendations

1. Counties should ensure fee testing of weighing andmeasuring devices is consistent with State regulation.

2. Counties should conduct pricing accuracy testing based onfee risks identified.

3. Counties should implement systems to ensure fee inventoryof businesses is up-to-date for devices used for weighing,measuring and pricing accuracy.

4. Counties should maintain records documenting allcomplaints received and fee actions taken to address them.

To fee State Legislature:

5. Consider establishing statutory guidance for fee frequency ofpricing accuracy tests.

APPENDIX A

RESPONSES FROM COUNTY OFFICIALS

We provided a draft copy of this global report to the six counties we audited and requestedresponses. We received response letters from five of the six counties. Schoharie County did notsubmit a response letter during the response period.

Overall, the counties generally agreed with our report’s findings and recommendations. Thefollowing comments were excerpted from the five responses we received.

Pricing Accuracy

Broome County: “...Broome County does not conduct price accuracy testing because such testingis not required under the law.”

Clinton County: “...The County would like to reiterate, however, that complete annual testing ofUPC devices is not required and that the County is in full compliance with both State and locallaws on this issue. Further, to proceed with full annual testing of UPC devices would necessitatean increase in the number of full-time equivalents within the Department.”

Dutchess County: “Finally, it must be recognized that, faced with multiple unfunded mandates,counties should be allowed to determine the frequency of their pricing accuracy tests based onlocal needs. Counties are best positioned to know the areas of greater impact in their communitiesand to conduct pricing accuracy testing based on risks identified locally.”

Ontario County: “...In regards to pricing accuracy, it is difficult to support additional efforts in thisarea until such time as the State provides long term funding support in view of existing mandatesand generally reduced financial support.”

Tompkins County: “...The Law does not require testing of price scanning devices. However,Tompkins County will make every effort to conduct sample testing for price accuracy...” “.. .Werecommend this consideration be made within the context of the significant fiscal constraints facedby New York State’s counties as the result of unfunded mandates and, now, a cap on local propertytaxes.”

Comptroller’s Note

While the Law does not require price accuracy testing on any frequency, it is a valuable practicethat helps protect county residents. Many good internal control procedures are not required byState statute. We encourage counties to exceed the minimum testing requirements and to verifypricing accuracy with the goal of fostering fair competition and protecting the consumer.

APPENDIX B

AUDIT METHODOLOGY AND STANDARDS

We reviewed the counties’ inspection and testing documentation and inventory reports for devicesused for weighing and measuring by individual businesses. We also reviewed each county’s 2010Annual Report to the State Bureau. We conducted testing of inspection documentation, conductedsite visits to verify inspection stickers, tested the annual report, interviewed county and departmentofficials and examined other documentation related to the objective for the audit scope period.

Specifically:

• We selected the six counties we audited based on both size and geographic location toobtain a sample that was representative of counties statewide.

• We Dmade site visits to 20 vendor locations throughout each county. We selected theselocations on a non-bias judgmental basis to determine if the inspection stickers werecurrent and consistent with county documentation.

• We reviewed 20 inspection reports, which we selected on a non-bias judgmental basis, toverify that the inspection took place. We compared the reports with county records.

• We reviewed all reported consumer complaints and verified complaint documentation toeach county’s Annual Report.

We conducted this performance audit in accordance with generally accepted government auditingstandards (GAGAS).Those standards require that weplan and perform the audit to obtain sufficient,appropriate evidence to provide a reasonable basis for our findings and conclusions based on ouraudit objectives. We believe that the evidence obtained provides a reasonable basis for our findingsand conclusions based on our audit objectives.

Dear Fellow Americans:!

As we commemorate America's participation in World War IIsome 50 years ago, we resolve to sustain the memory of America'smen and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for their countryand its freedoms.

!;

IYou gather on this solemn occasion at the grave site of

President Franklin Delano Roosevelt* it is fitting and proper torecognize and celebrate those freedoms that so many braveAmericans over the years have given their precious lives toobtain and preserve.

Rest assured America's men and women of today's armed forcesknow what is at stake each and every time they don their uniform.Yet, they do not waiver from their dedication and resolve todeter war, and if deterrence fails, to win on the field ofbattle. On January 6, 1942, President Franklin Delano Rooseveltsaid in his State of the Union Address...."They know that victoryfor us means victory for freedom. They know that victory for usmeans victory for the institution of democracy, the ideal of thefamily, the simple principles of common decency and humanity."These prophetic words hold true today and were most recentlyvalidated with our overwhelming victory in Operation DesertStorm.

>

As Americans, we are morally charged with the commitment toensure we continue to pay tribute to those brave Americans atceremonies such as yours. You, as they, are true Americans.I Corps....America's Corps....salutes you!

President's Memorial Day MessageFor the Armed Forces

Today, all Americans pause to remember those patriots who havelaid down their lives for our nation and for the principles for which itstands. As individuals who share the same love of freedom and senseof duty that motivated these heroes and as service members whoknow the risks that they faced so bravely, you have a special under-standing of the magnitude of their gift to us. From the revolutionarieswho died at Lexington and Concord to your comrades who fell whiledriving out the Iraqi army from Kuwait, Americans who have perishedin the name of peace and liberty have helped to ensure the preserva-tion and progress of these ideals around the world.

When President Lincoln dedicated the cemetery at Gettysburg, hetold his audience that "from these honored dead we take increaseddevotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure ofdevotion." We have long enjoyed the fruits of that selfless love, andwe, too, take inspiration from it. I am sure that, as you honor thememory of those who have given their lives for our country, you willrenew your commitment to the defense of freedom. On behalf of allAmericans, I salute and thank you for your loyal service to our country.

Presidential MessageCommemorating the 50th Anniversary

of World War D

Fifty years ago, on December 7th, the peace of a Sunday morning wasshattered and America was at war. World War II stands as a dividing linein our history, in some ways, it still defines who we are/and what westand for as a Nation.

Over the next four years, Americans will gather to observe the variousanniversaries of the war. I've asked the Secretary of Defense to helpcoordinate these events and I urge all civic and veterans groups to joinin the remembrances.

We will honor the military giants who mobilized the forces and ledthem across the battlefields of Europe and the Pacific. But most of all,we will honor the courageous citizen-soldiers from every race, creed,and walk of life, who defended liberty in its hours of peril. And we willremember those on the homefront — the workers who turned Americainto the "arsenal of democracy." Fifty years later, the memorial to worldWar II veterans is all around us: an America strong and free, her proudexample lighting the way to liberty.

Those of us who remember World War II must pass on what welearned to our grandchildren, never again will America be unprepared,

never again will we appease an aggressor who threatens our vital inter-ests. never again will we isolate ourselves and pretend the rest of theworld's problems don't affect us. America must continue to lead. Ourmost important strength is not military or economic, it's moral — andthe world needs our moral leadership now more than ever.

The United States will always be a force for peace. But the peace weseek is a real peace — not merely the absence of war, but the triumphof freedom. During these four years of commemoration, let us rededi-cate ourselves to the principles for which our veterans so valiantlyfought. Let us extend gratitude to those whose suffering and sacrificemade victory certain. And let us resolve that when the final history iswritten, the Second World War will become known as the Last WorldWar.

It's tempting-to echo Churchill and say World War II was America's'finest hour." But we know — just as we knew in the darkest days of thewar — that America's best days lie ahead of us. And may Qod continueto bless America — freedom's home.

Secretary of DefenseMemorial Day Message

On Memorial Day, as sounds of taps echo throughout theUnited States, we think of all Americans who have died in theservice of our country.

Our nation's strength, founded on your vigilance and skill andthe courage of those we honor today, has played a central role inlaying the foundation of a new world order.

Since last year, we have witnessed the end of hostile relationswith the former Soviet Union and the beginning of new relation-ships. But we still see other challenges and dangers ahead in theworld. Ultimately, we hope to enjoy a just and lasting peacefounded on freedom.

You, the men and women of today's Armed Forces, help us tohonor Americans who have given their lives for freedom. Everyday, as you renew your pledge to keep our country strong andready, you provide the most fitting monument to the memory ofthe heroes who have gone before. I join all Americans in thank-ing you for your service to America and in remembering thosewho have given their lives for our liberty.

TO THE CITIZENSOF THE CITY OF POUGHKEEPSIE

Please accept my best wishes as you commemorate MemorialDay and the 50th anniversary of World War II. Although fifty yearshave passed since America entered World War II, we must hold strongthe memories of the citizen-soldiers who fought so valiantly. We mustpay homage to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice so thatgenerations to follow could enjoy the fruits of liberty. We should alsorecognize the many contributions and sacrifices made on the homefront which directly contributed to our ultimate victory. Just asimportant, we need to reflect on the lessons we learned then and vownever to repeat the mistakes — mistakes which cost the lives of somany.

Today we have much for which to be grateful. The Cold War isover, and freedom is the victor. During the Cold War, and again inDesert Storm, America proved itself as a world leader. America mustcontinue to lead, to be the force for peace and freedom.

We will never forget our heroes of World War II. To them, weowe the blessings we enjoy today. Likewise, we must be everprepared to guard those liberties against those who would try to takethem away from us. May God continue to bless America, keep usstrong, and give us world peace.

Memorial Day is a special day set aside each year by Americansto solemnly remember with pride and reference those who died in war.In the two centuries since the first skirmish of the RevolutionaryWar for independence, more than one million American men and womenhave given their lives so that others could be free and live inpeace.

iNew York has always been proud of the service and sacrifice of

its sons and daughters in our nation ’s military, and we were thefirst state to designate Memorial Day — then called Decoration Day— as an official holiday.

Memorial Day reminds us of our sacred duty to remember theterrible price New Yorkers have willingly paid for our cherishedprinciples of freedom and justice,century, some 38,000 New Yorkers have died in battle fighting forthe ideals of the American experiment in democracy and thesovereignty of others from tyranny.

Those who served and who returned home retain a special bondwith their fallen brothers and sisters. Today as we honor those whomade the ultimate sacrifice, we must also pause to salute and givethanks to the 1.7 million New Yorkers who are proud to be called"veteran."
