_____________________________________________________________________________
2014 A Year of Property Tax Containment
The 2014 Tentative Budget includes a tax levy increase of less than 1%. Specifically, the property tax
increase is 0.74%.
This property tax containment is not a one year approach. The average annual tax levy was up less than
1% since 2009. Since 2005, the average annual property tax levy was up 1.81%, below the 2% property
tax cap.

2014 A Year of New Beginnings


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

2014 Continued Streamlining and Reorganization of County Government


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

Eliminated more than 202 positions since 2008.


Consolidated eight departments into four.
Implemented innovative ways of doing business with mandates and non-mandates.
Flat-lined employee healthcare costs from 2007 to 2013.
Eliminated millions of dollars in contracted services.
Maximized Federal and NYS revenues.
Forged multiple shared services and consolidations of government functions.

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

mandated cost centers. Cost containment has been the central theme for the past decade. Purchasing
requests are reviewed and approved centrally by the Finance Department. Only essential purchases and
equipment are procured. All services and positions are re-evaluated on an ongoing basis to identify
potential for efficiencies and savings. The 2014 budget once again includes cost-savings and streamlining
initiatives. Examples include:
Library Restructuring Initiative
The County Legislature, the Library Board of Trustees and staff embarked on a comprehensive review
and redesign of library services to better meet the needs of the communities we serve and to do it as costeffectively as possible. The outcome resulted in a consolidation of services, increased programming,
particularly for children, and more than $480,000 in annual savings.
The analysis of community need, patron interests and discussions with community partners drove much
of the redesign. A focus on family literacy, particularly in the City branches emerged as a theme. The
redesign plan includes consolidation of the Duane and Hamilton Hill Branches into a new Family
Literacy Center which will provide a new facility with enhanced technology, expanded program space for
community partnerships, a classroom and tutoring spaces. The new facility is jointly funded with a
$450,000 commitment by the County and a $400,000 commitment by the Library Board of Trustees from
a bequest from Phyllis Bornt, a former librarian. We are most appreciative of this generosity.
The redesign also calls for ongoing partnership between the Board of Trustees and the County for
investment in branch facilities. This partnership has resulted in an investment and redesign of the Mont
Pleasant Library to also serve as a literacy center. The upgraded facility provides expanded program
space, a new layout, interior upgrades and computers and furnishings. Additional upgrade projects are
scheduled at the Quaker Street, Glenville and Niskayuna Branches during 2014.
Also new for 2014 is a joint County/Library Board of Trustees proposal to have the County Finance
Department function as custodian of the Library Board of Trustee accounts. This will save the Library
Board accounting and audit costs and also assure for ongoing stewardship of their funds.
Glendale Nursing Home
We anticipate moving to our new Glendale Home facility during the first quarter of 2014. Residents and
staff are excited and making plans for the transition. Management and staff continue to develop clinical
improvements and increased efficiencies. The plans for 2014 include a focus on enhanced post-acute
rehabilitation, wound care and comfort care specialty services to complement long term care services.
This enhanced focus at Glendale is complemented by a reduction in County cost in 2014 by $489,000.
These savings are a result of the impact of the 2012/2013 early retirement plan which targeted certain
titles held by full-time Glendale Nursing Home employees. Savings are also accruing as a result of the
two-tier wage system put in place with the last CSEA and SEIU contracts. New employees start at a 10%
lower salary and reduced night/weekend differentials. The budget also reflects the positive impact of
energy efficiencies and maintenance savings related to the new facility.
Integrated Child Welfare Management Team
The interagency team, which includes the County Managers Office, Department of Social Services,
Probation, Mental Health, Finance and the County Attorneys Office, continues to evaluate, develop and
implement best practice strategies which improve child safety and well-being. The outcomes we strive
for are simple: children are safe, children will have permanent and loving homes, and our communities
are safe.

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

290 children are receiving adoption services.


64 children have been adopted over last 24 months.
18% reduction in the number of children in foster care since 2010 due to
the increase in adoptions and community-based best practice strategies.
28% reduction in the number of youth served in congregate care since 2010.

So many of the children struggling in school or in the community have experienced some form of trauma
in their lives. Growing research indicates that community professionals must recognize this and react
accordingly in order to have children and youth succeed in school and community. During 2014, the
Countys team will be leading a community-wide transformative initiative to train hundreds of
community professionals in the best practice theories and strategies related to trauma informed care.
Community Supervision and Safety
Through grant funding, the Department of Probation will be implementing a new supervision model for
high risk domestic violence cases. The model is based on a best practice system in Massachusetts. The
new model provides for improved assessments and an interdisciplinary support system involving the
District Attorneys Office, law enforcement and community-based agencies.
Probation has been developing and implementing other enhanced risk assessment systems and specialized
teams to better provide for community supervision of both juvenile and adult probationers. Probation and
our mental health team are developing improved mental health risk assessment processes and
interventions, particularly focused on the juvenile and young adult populations.
Senior and Long Term Care Services
Delivery of a strong community-based senior and long term care system remains a priority for 2014. The
2014 budget maintains our full continuum of community-based services for seniors. The budget provides
for programs such as operation of our meal sites, home-delivered meals to homebound seniors, medical
transportation, case assistance, in-home services, respite and adult day services. Through streamlining
delivery of services, the 2014 budget reduces County costs by $97,000 without impacting services to
seniors.
Collaborative Clinic
2014 is the first full year of Public Healths collaboration with Ellis Medicine and Hometown Health
Center on the delivery of community-based public health clinic services. This collaborative is proving to
be successful in delivering public health clinic services, connecting individuals to primary care providers
and delivering services in a cost-effective manner.
Workforce Adjustments
The 2014 budget includes attrition of an additional 24 positions resulting in $1.5M in savings. As each
position becomes vacant, an analysis is performed to determine if the position can be eliminated,
reallocated to better use, or if it can be filled in a less costly manner.

Shared Services and Consolidation of Services


The 2014 budget provides for the new Unified Communications Center (UCC) facility lease. In the
coming months, the UCC Oversight Committee will be bringing forth their UCC operating budget for
2014. Upon completion of the transition to the Unified Communications Center, Schenectady County
will have a centralized call answering and dispatch center for all the residents of our five towns, two
villages and the City of Schenectady.
The 2014 budget also reflects the shared services initiative developed by our Board of Elections with the
County of Oneida.
Efficiency Initiatives
The 2014 budget reflects a number of new efficiency initiatives estimated to save over $100,000.
Examples include redesign of the transportation routing systems, reduced postal charges, reduced cell
phone contract costs, increased vendor commissions and deeper office supply discounts.

Fiscal Reality of County Government - Mandates


Unlike cities, towns and villages, more than 84% of the Countys net revenues are dedicated to delivery
and funding of mandates over which we have little or no control. Unfortunately, the outcome of our
efforts to cut costs is masked by the continued increase in mandated costs to county governments,
particularly in the human service arena.
State/Federal mandates account for more than 100% of County property taxes.
Medicaid
Medicaid alone costs the County property taxpayer $34.5M in 2014, which equals 50% of the property
tax levy. The Federal Affordable Care Act (ACA) includes provisions that are anticipated to increase the
Federal share of Medicaid in New York State. The 2014 budget assumes a resulting reduction in the
Countys share.
During 2014, a number of the administrative functions performed by local Departments of Social Services
will be taken over by New York State. Given that this is the one area where the administration was 100%
funded, no fiscal relief is associated with this transfer of functions. In fact, the fiscal impact is actually
negative. As the transition approaches, we will be providing you with more information on the changes
and impacts to operations.
Families and Individuals in Need the County Mandate to Administer and to Pay
In spite of all efforts to move applicants and recipients to employment first and the efforts in fraud
detection, prevention and interdiction, the 2014 budget reflects increased costs related to the Family
Assistance and Safety Net Programs and the overall administration of the full range of mandated Federal
and New York State services.
The Federal and New York State program Family Assistance is experiencing cost increases primarily
related to an increase in caseload. Fortunately, at this time, the Family Assistance Program does not have
a County share and therefore has no impact on the property taxpayer.

The New York State Safety Net Program provides benefits to individuals and families that are not eligible
for the Federal Family Assistance Program. The net County cost for the Safety Net Program totals $4.1M
in the 2014 budget, reflecting the Countys 71% mandated cost share. In addition, the County is
mandated to administer the Safety Net Program at 100% County share.
The Department of Social Services is aggressively working with families and individuals on work-first
strategies. We have integrated our Workforce Investment Center with DSS employment initiatives.
Employable applicants and recipients participate in job orientation, job search, work experience and a
variety of employment-focused activities on a daily basis.
DSS has a comprehensive Fraud, Waste and Abuse Prevention and Intervention Program. Annual
avoided costs totaled $8.5M in 2012. These initiatives will be continued and new initiatives will be
introduced in 2014. Noncompliant participants have their cases sanctioned and fraud cases are referred to
and coordinated with law enforcement.
The 2014 budget includes a $6,112,000 appropriation for the income eligible subsidized daycare program,
reflecting an increase of $67,000. Unfortunately, this increased appropriation cannot keep pace with the
demand for daycare. As such the income eligibility for daycare will need to be lowered in order to stay
within the proposed 2014 appropriations.
Out of County Community College Chargebacks
In addition to sponsoring Schenectady County Community College and investing in its campus
infrastructure, Schenectady County is mandated to pay for Schenectady County residents attending other
community colleges throughout New York State. This mandated cost in 2014 is estimated to be $2.6M.
The mandated community college chargeback cost has more than doubled in the last decade and is up
$150,000 from the 2013 budget.
We have been advocating for chargeback formula reform. Flaws in the formulas have allowed for
inconsistencies in the chargeback rate across community colleges. We are hopeful that reform measures
scheduled to be slowly phased in starting with the 2014/15 school year will correct some of the inequities
and better protect the property taxpayers.
The Countys investment of property tax dollars in community college services totals $5,627,000 in the
2014 budget.
New York State Employee Retirement System
For the first time in five years, the NYS Retirement System is projecting that the employer contribution
rates will peak in New York State Fiscal Year 2013/2014. The projected rates for 2014/2015 reflect a
slight reduction as compared to the 2013/2014 rates. The County retirement contribution is projected to
cost $13.5M in 2014. While we are pleased the rates have peaked, they remain at a very elevated average
employer contribution rate in 2014/2015 of 20.1% of payroll. The 2014 budget includes amortization of
part of the 2014/2015 bill.
Affordable Care Act Impacts
The 2014 budget for employee health benefits includes more than $540,000 in new costs associated with
the Affordable Care Act. Specifically, the new cost reflects an assessment on both our self-insured and
premium based products.

Revenues
County sales tax cash receipts experienced positive growth in 2011 and 2012. We are optimistic that we
will achieve our 2013 budgeted revenues and the 2014 budget assumes a continuation of this positive
trend. The budget reflects the new sales tax agreement which requires additional sharing of revenues with
the City of Schenectady.
New York State capped and/or reduced reimbursements for mandated programs continue to negatively
impact the County. Unlike cities, towns and villages, counties do not receive any New York State
revenue sharing.

Capital Improvement Program


The 2014 Capital Improvement Plan totals $6,880,074 which includes a County appropriation of
$4,439,900.
Facility Improvements
Over the past few years, the Countys Capital Improvement Program focused on large projects such as the
SCCC Music and Drama addition, renovations to SCCCs Elston Hall, the new Glendale Nursing Home
and expansion and rehabilitation of the Central Library. The focus this year is on upgrades to the County
Office Building, the Courthouse and satellite offices.
The 2014 Capital Improvement Program provides $525,000 in funding to rehabilitate exterior portions of
the County Courthouse. This project includes stone repointing and replacement of windows and
sidewalks. The project will be packaged with the existing Courthouse roof replacement project for a
construction project in 2014.
Proposed building upgrades for the County Office Building include sidewalk replacements, interior office
upgrades, and replacement of the fire alarm panel. Facility exterior and interior projects are also
recommended for three of our satellite offices.
The 2014 Capital Improvement Program also provides for relocation of the electrical transformers
servicing Schenectady County Community College and installation of an emergency generator. The
current equipment is located in the flood plain. We have submitted a grant application to assist with
funding of this project.
The Capital Improvement Program also includes fence improvements and the addition of a diesel fuel
storage and pumping system at the County Airport.
Public Works
The 2014 Highway and Bridge Improvement Program totals $3.9M and is comprised of $2.1M in County
appropriation and $1.8M in New York State funding. A deck replacement project for the Scotch Ridge
Road Bridge is a part of this recommendation.
Thanks to the grantsmanship of our Public Works Director, a number of projects will be under
construction and completed in 2014 using Federal and NYS grant funds. We will be replacing the decks
on both the Alplaus and Van Vorst Bridges. We will also complete work at the intersection of Alplaus
and Maple Avenues and will undertake straightening of Maple Avenue at the intersection with the
entrance to the Air National Guard at Ronald Reagan Way. We are also anticipating grant funding to
initiate design work for reconstruction of Upper Union Street, Broadway and Aqueduct Road.

The recommended highway equipment procurements for 2014 reflect priority equipment only. We have
been able to avoid significant replacement costs by investing in the refurbishment program, extending the
life of equipment by as much as seven to ten years. At this time, replacement of two tandem axle dump
trucks with snow and ice equipment and one road side mowing tractor is necessary. The vehicle fleet
program contains funding for nine replacement vehicles recommended by our fleet management team at
the Highway Department.
Technology
The 2014 Capital Improvement Program includes replacement for end of life data center equipment,
installation of network testing equipment, and replacement of aged desktop equipment. The Capital
Budget also includes replacement of the large format engineering plotter used by the Office of Facilities,
a customer query and workflow management system for the Department of Social Services and a central
copier replacement fund.

Closing
Over the past decade Schenectady County Government has set in place a progressive agenda for
community improvements for our residents, employers and visitors. At the same time, Schenectady
County has set in place a strict agenda for property taxpayer protection. We continue to review and
evaluate our local government structure to look for new and more cost-effective means of doing business.
In closing, I wish to acknowledge the leadership of the Schenectady County Legislature, as well as
department heads, staff, community stakeholders and volunteers for their part in moving these agendas
forward. Without this dedication, collaboration and commitment we could not have actualized the level
of community accomplishments nor the property taxpayer protections included in this budget
recommendation.
A special note of personal gratitude also goes out to Deborah Mancini, Commissioner of Finance, Ruth
Anne Foster, Director of Accounting Systems, Jaclyn Agostino, Assistant to the County Manager, Belle
Freedgood, Executive Secretary and Ryan Piche, Management Intern for the many hours they dedicated
to the preparation of the budget recommendation.
We look forward to working with the County Legislature in its review of this recommendation and to
continue the progressive agenda of community development that has been set by the Schenectady County
Legislature.

BOARD OF ETHICS
A1051
MISSION
The mission of the Schenectady County Board of Ethics is to ensure the ethical conduct of public officials and employees is observed to retain public confidence in local
government.
DESCRIPTION OF DEPARTMENT PROGRAM(S)
The Board of Ethics meets several times a year at the discretion of the Board itself. Each meeting is held in compliance with the statutes pertaining to Open Meetings,
unless it is necessary to go into closed/executive sessions because of the personal information being discussed.
The primary function of the Board is to collect the annual financial disclosure forms submitted by specified officials and employees who have fiduciary responsibilities
within County agencies. As part of this mandate, it is the Boards responsibility to review job descriptions of officials and employees to determine whether that person
needs to comply with this law. When such information is not available, it is at the discretion of the Board to evaluate the position as it compares to other positions with
similar status and responsibilities, as well as solicit opinions from that positions supervisors to help make such determination. It is also an essential responsibility to
evaluate situations of possible ethical violations that are brought before the Board.
STRATEGIC INITIATIVES FOR 2014
Create clear and accessible Code of Ethics for Schenectady County, based on projected County legislation.
Review and define which positions need to file proper papers to ensure there is no perception of conflict of interest when taxpayers funds are being spent.
Investigate any claims of ethical impropriety by County officials or employees as brought before the Board of Ethics.
Create easy access to forms and clearer communication about our purpose using current technology.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY
A1165
MISSION
The mission of the Schenectady County District Attorneys Office is to prosecute all crimes committed within Schenectady County.
DESCRIPTION OF DEPARTMENT PROGRAM(S)
The District Attorneys Office represents the People of the State of New York in the prosecution of all criminal cases in the village, town, city and county courts of
Schenectady County. Duties include the presentation of felony cases to the grand jury for indictment, conducting hearings, trials, negotiating pleas and representing the
People at all phases of a criminal action, including appeals. The District Attorneys Office is divided into various bureaus consisting of City Court, County Court, Grand
Jury, Intelligence and Investigations, Major Crimes, and Special Victims. The District Attorneys Office has secured and administers grant-funded programs from state,
federal and private sources in 12 different areas including programs to fight domestic violence, motor vehicle theft, gun crimes and gang violence, to assist the victims of
crime, to improve the investigation of crimes against children, and to provide police with wireless surveillance cameras to monitor high-crime areas and equipment to
record interrogations. In 2013 the office administered grant revenues totaling approximately $1,039,183.
OUTCOMES
The District Attorneys Office will endeavor to keep the people of Schenectady County safe by vigorously prosecuting those who commit crimes while safeguarding the
rights of victims of crime and those who are accused of crime.
PERFORMANCE TARGETS FOR 2014
Conducting the core functions of the District Attorneys Office while maintaining high conviction rates and participating fully in initiatives within the community
aimed to reduce the incidence of crime.
STRATEGIC INITIATIVES FOR 2014
To continue our multi-faceted approach to dealing with violent crime, particularly gun crimes, by: continuing to provide resources and support to the FBI
sponsored gun task force, participating in a public education campaign including school presentations on gun violence and snitching, resourcing and supporting a
gang intervention specialist employed at the Boys and Girls Club, collaborating with the Sheriff to secure funding for further gun violence suppression initiatives,
continuing the pilot program funded by the State to morally engage recently returned parolees on the unacceptability of gun violence, and enforcing strict
prosecution policies regarding gun crimes.
We will continue to expand and strengthen our public surveillance camera system to enhance the security of our communities and to provide investigative leads
and useable evidence for the prosecution of crime occurring within range of the cameras.
2013 PERFORMANCE TARGETS UPDATE/2012 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
In 2012 the District Attorneys Office adjudicated 494 cases in Schenectady County Court, maintaining a conviction rate of 97.3%. Of those cases, the office tried
27 defendants, 22 of which were convicted after trial with only 5 acquittals. Included among those cases successfully tried were four defendants sentenced to life
in prison; two career criminals, a murderer sentenced to 40 to life, and a child sexual predator sentenced to 75 to life.
The District Attorneys Office continued to expand the public surveillance camera system which by the end of 2013 will consist of 130 cameras installed in
virtually every neighborhood in the City of Schenectady. Over 60% of those cameras have been upgraded to high definition monitors, improving the quality of
images recorded making them even more useful to law enforcement.
The District Attorney led Schenectady Child Advocacy Center continues to be a resource for every law enforcement agency in the County, hosting 419 interviews
of children and approximately 220 multi-disciplinary investigations.
In its second year of operation, the Crimes Against Revenue Program funded by New York State has produced 53 prosecutions involving fraud against government
entities and/or white collar crime producing returned revenues of $242,801.93.

CONFLICT DEFENDER
A1173
MISSION
The mission of the Schenectady County Conflict Defender is to defend indigent individuals at all levels of the judicial process without restrictions to a particular type or
level of case and to appear on their behalf at the earliest possible moment, ensure that their legal rights are upheld in those cases where a conflict of interest exists between
an indigent defendant and the Schenectady County Public Defenders Office, establish and maintain a meaningful client-attorney relationship, manage workloads that
ensure the capacity to provide quality representation, and continually improve the quality of services provided by the Conflict Defender.
DESCRIPTION OF DEPARTMENT PROGRAM(S)
The Schenectady County Conflict Defender provides legal representation for indigent individuals in Family Court for custody/visitation, neglect proceedings and support
violations, and in the local criminal court, IDV Court and County Court for violations, misdemeanors, or felonies where a conflict of interest exists with the Schenectady
County Public Defenders Office. The Conflict Defenders Office was created to help meet the legal mandate for the County to provide competent legal representation to
indigent persons when the Public Defender is otherwise disqualified. The County utilizes a Conflict Defender approach in an attempt to achieve cost savings by eliminating
the need to compensate private attorneys on an hourly basis for necessary legal representation. Though the responsibilities to their respective clients are identical, the
Conflict Defenders Office and Public Defenders Office operate separately and distinctly.
OUTCOMES
All indigent individuals represented by the Conflict Defender will receive a high-quality, well-informed defense to ensure equal representation under the law.
The commencement of the representation will occur at the earliest possible time in the proceedings.
Indigent individuals will receive representation despite the severity and level of the crime or proceeding.
A meaningful Attorney-Client relationship will be established.
Representation will always be at the highest level of professionalism.
Manage an ever increasing caseload.
PERFORMANCE TARGETS FOR 2014
Facilitate timely disposition of cases for earlier resolutions.
Maximize attorney scheduling to permit more efficient resolution of cases.
Maximize the attorney client relationship.
Reduce the number of complaints from clients.
Improve communication between, but not limited to, the clients, Courts, DA, Public Defender, YWCA and other members of the Court System.
Meet growing caseload assignment with minimal additional cost.
Maintain the diversity of representation amongst the attorneys.
Improve the quality of representation of the clients.
STRATEGIC INITIATIVES FOR 2014

ASSIGNED COUNSEL
A1174
MISSION
The mission of the Schenectady County Assigned Counsel Program is to provide legal representation for indigent persons as required constitutionally and by State Law
(Article 18-B of the County Law) and to ensure amounts paid for such counsel are properly documented.
DESCRIPTION OF DEPARTMENT PROGRAM(S)
The Schenectady County Assigned Counsel Program provides counsel for indigent persons in need of representation when case conflicts or caseload overflow precludes
representation by the Public Defender or Conflict Defender. The program is administered pro bono by the Schenectady County Law Department and utilizes the services of

TOWN JUSTICES

DESCRIPTION OF DEPARTMENT PROGRAM(S)
This account funds Schenectady County payments to towns and villages for the services of their courts in felony proceedings that would otherwise be handled by County
courts. Pursuant to Section 99-L of the General Municipal Law, all towns and villages in New York State are entitled to claim from the Justice Court Fund, which is
maintained by the Office of the State Comptroller, the sum of ten dollars for every case in which their courts act upon a felony-level criminal matter. Those costs then
become a charge upon the County in which the municipality is located. Counties must periodically reimburse the Justice Court Fund for the payments made to their local
governments.

of over $3 million annually for the City.

EXCESS OF $17,800,000

MOBILE RADIO DISTRICT


A3020
MISSION
The mission of the Schenectady County Law Enforcement Mobile Radio District (MRD) is to provide countywide, inter-agency law enforcement radio communications for
all participating agencies in Schenectady County. The MRD system provides daily autonomous radio communications for each agency, plus interoperability through
commonly assigned channels for command/control functions during emergencies and other events requiring communications between departments.
DESCRIPTION OF DEPARTMENT PROGRAM(S)
The Schenectady County Law Enforcement MRD consists of the law enforcement agencies of Schenectady County, City of Schenectady, Towns of Rotterdam, Niskayuna,
and Glenville, and Village of Scotia. For participating agencies, MRD provides technical and other assistance concerning F.C.C. Licensing and Special Event and MRD
channel reservations. MRD also helps agencies interface with communications consultants, program portable and mobile units, and stay abreast of communications
developments. MRD handles intermodulation, adjacent, and co-channel interference problems for participating agencies. MRD also assists agencies with communications
consulting firms, and the programming of portable and mobile radios. MRD maintains a liaison with the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials and
oversees a system maintenance contract on a daily basis. As required by F.C.C. rule, MRD has already caused all of its F.C.C. licenses to be modified, approved and relicensed by the F.C.C. for narrowband operation. MRD now has the ability to broadcast and receive in both analog and digital modes. The system also has the capability of
secure digital communications to allow for privacy required by police operations during special events.
OUTCOMES
Provide a VHF FM voted police radio system for all law enforcement agencies in Schenectady County including interfacing with the New York State Police,
D.E.A., F.B.I., U.S. Marshals and NYS Division of Parole. Schenectady County Probation is also equipped with several portables licensed on MRD
frequencies. MRD allows outside agencies to program licensed MRD frequencies in units capable of programming in the VHF band in order to facilitate
interoperable communications between said agencies. MRD has received permission from the NYS Police to install, transmit and receive NYS Police
frequencies in MRD police vehicles to better enhance interoperability between these law enforcement agencies. MRD has also allowed the NYS Police to
program MRD operational frequencies in their portable/mobile units to further enhance interoperability in the VHF band.
PERFORMANCE TARGETS FOR 2014
Provide all MRD agencies with a new system infrastructure for the multiple frequencies used in the system by upgrading communications privacy with secure
channel encryption mode for Special Operations Teams, Vice and Detective Units, Supervisory Personnel, and Patrol Units when required.
Continue semi-annual system equipment checks to identify units in need of repair and to have those units repaired if parts are still available.
Continue to develop interoperability methods through hardware acquisition and other means, for the daily operations of agencies not using MRD VHF band
frequencies.
STRATEGIC INITIATIVES FOR 2014
Assist Central Dispatch Administrator with communication interfacing where possible for maximum use of system for this function.
Develop emergency backup plans using present system equipment in the event of major system failures.

reports submitted by each Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP), and solicitation of PSAP feedback during quarterly Technical Advisory Committee
meetings.
Ensure maximum 911 database accuracy through an aggressive quality assurance program.
Maintain the integrity of the rural addressing system through continued liaison with affected municipalities and timely response to new address requests.
PERFORMANCE TARGETS FOR 2014

With regard to database accuracy, 95% of reported database discrepancies will be processed and submitted for correction within 24 hours.
With regard to rural addressing integrity, 95% of requests for new addresses will be completed by close of business of the next working day.
STRATEGIC INITIATIVES FOR 2014
Facilitate initiatives designed to move toward a Unified Communications Center (UCC) operation by participating in the implementation of any approved

SHERIFF
A3110
MISSION
The mission of the Schenectady County Sheriffs Office shall be the protection and preservation of the rights, lives and properties of all persons, through the fair and
impartial enforcement of the law, regardless of such persons race, creed, color, ethnicity or social standing.
DESCRIPTION OF DEPARTMENT PROGRAM(S)
The Sheriff and Deputies serve as the County's principal law enforcement officers with duties and responsibilities established by State law. While the civil process is the
exclusive responsibility of the County Sheriff, the Sheriff is also responsible to provide law enforcement services to County residents. The Sheriff assigns deputies to deter
criminal activity, arrest criminal offenders, promote traffic safety and respond to emergency calls. The Sheriff has concurrent jurisdiction with local law enforcement
officers in all of the county municipalities. The Sheriff cooperates closely with community authorities and local police agencies. The Sheriffs Office frequently provides
mutual aid for other agencies within the County.
The Schenectady County Sheriffs Office K-9 Unit provides continuous service to all jurisdictions within the County of Schenectady and has assisted other communities
outside of Schenectady County in their times of need. The Schenectady County Sheriffs Office K-9 Program is totally funded by private donations. This important service
is not only effective but without burden to the taxpayers.
The Schenectady Sheriffs Office actively participates in the Operation SAFE CHILD program. Through a partnership with the New York State Police, New York State
Sheriffs' Association and New York State Association of Chiefs of Police, the Division of Criminal Justice Services and its Missing and Exploited Children Clearinghouse
the program provides Operation SAFE CHILD IDENTIFICATION CARDS to families across the county and the state. The Schenectady County Sheriffs Office provides a
security detail at the Schenectady County Department of Social Services and the Schenectady County Main Library.
The Schenectady County Sheriffs Office of Professional Standards was created in 2003. The Office of Professional Standards:
Investigates the background and qualifications of all incoming employees of the Schenectady County Sheriffs Office by examining and questioning the
potential employees, checking prior employers, checking educational backgrounds, questioning neighbors, investigating criminal backgrounds and checking
other sources of reference.
Investigates and takes appropriate action in regards to complaints made against staff, medical providers, program providers, and/or volunteers.
Investigates and takes appropriate action in regards to complaints of inmates or visitors regarding staff.
Develops and revises policies, programs and regulations to provide for the effective and efficient management of the Schenectady County Sheriffs Office.
Investigates reports of inmates being injured prior to their incarceration at the Correctional Facility and report injuries to the arresting agency.
During 2012 the Schenectady County Sheriffs Office took over the coordination of the Schenectady County Stop D.W.I. Program and the Schenectady County Traffic
Safety Program. The programs are collaboration between the seven law enforcement agencies throughout the county and several civilian organizations with the common
goal of making the highways safer. Previously the program was coordinated by a full time civilian employee working under the control of the County Department of
Economic Development and Planning. By having the Sheriffs Office coordinate the program we were able to lower staffing costs and dedicated more monies to
enforcement.
During 2012 the Sheriff appointed a deputy to the Federal Drug Enforcement Agency (D.E.A.) Task Force. The task force is a joint effort by local and federal agencies in
controlling drug trafficking in the area. In the first six months alone that the deputy was assigned to the Task Force, the Sheriffs Office received enough asset forfeiture
funds to more than cover the deputys salary. Asset Forfeiture is an effective law enforcement tool the United States uses to deprive criminals of their ill-gotten gains by
seizing the proceeds of criminal activity and property used to facilitate crime. Seized property is shared with state and local law enforcement agencies which make
substantial contributions to underlying criminal investigations, thereby not only depriving criminals of their ill-gotten gains, but returning the proceeds to law enforcement
to use to fight crime. This program is called equitable sharing.

SHERIFF
A3110
OUTCOMES
By upholding the statutes, laws and regulations of the County of Schenectady, State of New York and the United States of America the residents and visitors to
Schenectady County will be safe and secure in their person and property.
PERFORMANCE TARGETS FOR 2014
To ensure positive direction and growth within the Schenectady County Sheriffs Office the following goals and objectives shall be set forth for all members to strive to
attain. The continuing goals of the Schenectady County Sheriffs Office shall be:
To detect crime and criminal activity.
To enhance the professionalism of the department.
To enforce the law and solve crime.
To provide a conduit for services provided in the community.
To reduce and prevent future crime through education.
To compile statistics on crime and analyze reports.
To provide for highway safety and traffic enforcement.
To apply for grant funding consistent with the mission.
To promote the training of all departmental personnel.
STRATEGIC INITIATIVES FOR 2014
During 2014 the Schenectady County Sheriffs Office will:
Continue its Selective Traffic Enforcement Program (STEPS) with the goal of making our highways safer.
Continue training for all employees and update and enhance the department procedures.
Continue Gun Buy Back Program.

2013 PERFORMANCE TARGETS UPDATE/2012 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Participated with the Schenectady Police Department in the Operation Impact Program.
Continued the directed patrol program with the goal of enhancing protection for the areas of the county where there is no municipal police protection.
Upgraded equipment for the patrol division through the Asset Forfeiture Program.
IMPROVE INTERAGENCY COOPERATION
The Schenectady County Sheriffs Office is one of seven law enforcement agencies within Schenectady County. We should never lose sight of the fact that we are all part
of the whole and must work together to serve and protect the residents. In order to improve interagency cooperation and further enhance service to the public the
Schenectady County Sheriffs Office in conjunction with the other law enforcement agencies in the County will cooperate in:
STOPPED PROGRAM During 2011the Schenectady County Sheriffs Office in conjunction with the other law enforcement agencies in Schenectady
County instituted the STOPPED Program (Sheriffs Telling Our Parents and Promoting Educated Drivers). Parents enrolled in the program received a decal
to place on their vehicle and those parents will be notified any time their child is stopped by police officers. The program was developed by the Schenectady
County Sheriffs Office and will be coordinated by this office.
COUNTYWIDE WARRANT DETAIL Will continue joint details between agencies executing warrants throughout the county.
COUNTYWIDE ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION DETAIL Share resources throughout the county in the investigation of major accident scenes.
HR 218 TRAINING - This new Federal law exempts qualified active and retired law enforcement officers from local and State prohibitions on the carrying of
concealed firearms while off-duty across state lines. The Federal law requires these officers to be tested or otherwise found by the State to meet the standards
established by the State for training and qualification for active law enforcement officers to carry a firearm. The Schenectady Sheriffs goal is to provide this
valuable training within Schenectady County.

MISSION
The Schenectady County Correctional Facility hereby acknowledges its legal obligation to:
Operate in conformance with state and national jail standards and the rulings of state national courts.
Provide a safe, sanitary, and secure place of detention for all people committed to this jurisdiction for detention or correction.
The Schenectady County Correctional Facility hereby acknowledges its obligation to the community in that:
The Schenectady County Correctional Facility must protect the community by securely holding persons who are determined by the courts to pose a threat to
public safety. Further, the Schenectady County Correctional Facility must protect the inmates, its staff, and all visitors to the facility.
It is the goal of the Schenectady County Correctional Facility to return inmates to the community in better condition so that they can become better citizens.
The Schenectady County Correctional Facility hereby acknowledges its obligations to its staff in that:
For a facility to become progressive and to maintain a reputation of credibility, there must be written guidelines which dictate policy. These written policy and
procedural rules have to be understood and followed, as well as enforced fairly and impartially.
Through constant evaluation of our policies and procedures, the thorough training of personnel, and a firm commitment to the field of corrections, we will
develop a greater sense of pride in knowing that we are making this county safer, and therefore, a better place for all of its citizens.
DESCRIPTION OF DEPARTMENT PROGRAM(S)
Since it is our objective to return people to society in better condition than when they entered the facility, it is incumbent upon us to offer as many programs as security,
space and time allow. As such, programs are an essential part of our mission.
In 1995 the facility initiated a computerized legal library system, which was the first of its kind in the State of New York.
Inmates are entitled to receive an hour of exercise off of their housing units each day if they choose.
The educational programs at the Schenectady County Correctional Facility are designed to prepare inmates for a successful transition from incarceration back
into the community. The following programs are administered by the Schenectady City School District and provide over 28,000 hours of educational service:
High School Diploma continuation and GED.
Computer literacy and Computer Repair/HTML classes.
Adult Basic Education.
OSHA Health and Safety Course.
English as a Second Language (ESL).
Vocational and Post Secondary Counseling.
Basic money management.
Group Counseling.
Transitional services are offered at the facility to help prepare incarcerated individuals for a successful and productive future:
Computerized career assessment.
Pre-release planning.
Job-readiness training.
Individual case management.
Twenty-three hours of religious programming are scheduled every week for every major religious denomination.
The YWCA of Schenectady provides educational support groups and individual counseling.
During 2011 the Schenectady Sheriffs Office instituted the A New Future in Cooking program. This comprehensive six week program has been designed to give
inmates the chance to have a marketable skill when they return to the workforce. Each session is held for two hours one day a week. There is one class for the ladies and one
for the gentlemen. The class covers basic fundamentals of common kitchen equipment, kitchen tools and terminology. The idea of the course has a dual goal of not only
understanding the concepts for cooking and preparation but also performing them. The program was developed and is provided at no cost to the County by the Mallozzi
Family, owners of Mallozzis Restaurants and Villa Italia, and is taught by their staff. This program will continue through 2014.
The Sheriffs Office continues to offer prisoner work detail to provide free labor for many not-for profit organizations.

ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH
A4090
MISSION
The mission of the Schenectady County Public Health Services is to prevent or reduce the transmission of human illness and injury, promote healthy behaviors, protect
against environmental hazards and assure the quality and accessibility of health care for all segments of the community.
DESCRIPTION OF DEPARTMENT PROGRAMS
The Environmental Health Unit fulfills the mission of Public Health Services through coordinated response strategies including inspection, surveillance, industry and public
education, and partnerships with the NYS Department of Health and the overall health care community. Environmental Health administers numerous programs designed to
protect public health through the enforcement of State and local laws and sanitary codes. Individual programs monitor food service establishments, public water supplies,
swimming pools and bathing beaches, camping facilities, temporary residences (hotels and motels), body art establishments, mobile home parks, schools and day care
facilities, and septic systems. Other departmental grant programs include lead poisoning prevention, healthy neighborhoods, tobacco control, and rabies control.
OUTCOMES
The health of County residents and visitors will be protected and improved through timely inspections of all permitted health department facilities including
food service establishments, public water supplies, temporary residences, childrens camps, swimming facilities, mobile home parks, and body art facilities.
Programs will focus on employing prevention interventions prior to sustaining illness or injury.
PERFORMANCE TARGETS FOR 2014
Work with the City of Schenectady and property owners to repair lead-based paint problems in 100 residential units within the target zip code areas.
Food service establishments will be prioritized into high, medium and low risk facilities based upon type and quantity of food served and compliance history.
High risk facilities will be inspected two times per year; medium risk facilities one time per year and low risk facilities once every two years. Total yearly
inspections are approximately 550 permanent facilities and 200 mobile and temporary food vendors.
All 45 public water supplies will have a sanitary survey performed. Water sampling will be done quarterly at community water systems serving a population
of over 1,000 and annually at community water system serving a population under 1,000.
Swimming facilities will be inspected quarterly for year round facilities and as needed at seasonal facilities, resulting in approximately 75 inspections.
Childrens camps will be inspected two times per year, one pre-season and one operational inspection as per NYS code requirements, resulting in 36 total
inspections for 18 camp facilities.
School food services will be inspected two times per year as per Federal funding requirements for school lunch programs resulting in 120 County inspections.
Temporary residences and tattoo/body piercing establishments will be inspected at least once per year or as complaints are received.
The Healthy Neighborhood program will complete 150 total home environmental assessments (113 initial and 37 re-visits), contingent on grant funding.
STRATEGIC INITIATIVES FOR 2014
To improve customer service to Schenectady County residents, provide timely electronic responses for inspection results, foils and test results by expanding
the use of e-mails and the County website.
To provide primary lead prevention activities, including testing and possibly remediation, within defined high lead contaminated areas by working with
Prevention Unit staff, the Healthy Neighborhood grant program, and the Schenectady City Code Enforcement office. This initiative would protect young
children from hazardous lead-containing housing before illness results, resulting in 50 residential units being made lead-safe.
To provide a continuum of lead poisoning services by partnering with other Governmental agencies and CBOs from identification of lead hazards through
remediation and clearance. Environmental Health will continue to work closely with the City of Schenectady on their 3.2 million dollar HUD grant, with 75%
revenue reimbursement for one staff member involved in the HUD grant.

MISSION
The mission of the Schenectady County Department of Social Services is to promote the health and safety of our community by empowering individuals and families to
achieve self-sufficiency and maintain independence.
DESCRIPTION OF DEPARTMENT PROGRAM(S)
The Department of Social Services (DSS) runs a number of programs touching the lives of community members. These programs can be grouped into two broad categories:
Temporary Assistance and Children & Family Services. Brief descriptions are as follows:
Temporary Assistance
Social Services Administration costs (A6010) include salary and non-salary expenses and are partially reimbursable.
Medical Assistance includes the County share of Medicaid charges. Eligibility for Medicaid is determined by Federal and State guidelines. The Federal
government pays approximately half of Medicaid expenses. In 49 states, counties pay no meaningful share of Medicaid expenses. New York is the only state
in the nation requiring counties to share in the cost of Medicaid.
The mandated Family Assistance (A6109) includes the Family Assistance and Emergency Assistance to Families programs.
The mandated Safety Net (A6140) provides financial assistance to needy persons who do not meet the requirements for Federal category programs.
The Home Energy Assistance Program (A6141) assists eligible residents in meeting the escalating costs of energy. This program is 100% Federally funded.
Emergency Aid to Adults (A6142) assists Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients with emergency needs unmet by the basic SSI monthly benefit.
The Special Investigation Unit is responsible for the investigation of fraud, waste, and abuse in the Temporary Assistance (FA-SN), Food Stamp, Medicaid
and Day Care programs. Investigations are completed during the application process as well as while a case is open. Requests to investigate are received from
agency staff and the public at large. Overpayments are recovered by recoupment; under certain criteria cases may be disqualified or prosecuted. DSS also
includes a Child Support Enforcement Division that identifies and locates financially responsible parents in order to establish and enforce child support orders,
thus reducing a familys dependence on public assistance.
Children & Family Services
Child Welfare Services: Counties are mandated to investigate all allegations of abuse and neglect and to provide appropriate service interventions to assure for
the health, safety and well-being of children. The interventions include caseworker monitoring, coordination of services such as parental substance and/or
mental health treatment, and therapeutic treatment for child victims dealing with the trauma of sexual and/or physical abuse or severe neglect. Interventions
also include cost-effective best practice in-home family intervention programs. Foster home or institutional placement services are initiated when the safety or
well-being of the child cannot be assured. The department also provides a strong adoption program to promote permanent and loving homes for children where
parental rights have been terminated.
Day Care: The County provides income-eligible subsidized day care to low-income working families.
Juvenile Justice Center and Services: Schenectady County operates a Juvenile Justice Center that co-locates and integrates the operation of Juvenile Probation
Officers with Department of Social Services caseworkers. This unique operation, which is a model for other counties, continues to identify and implement best
practice programming targeted at the at-risk adolescent population that enters the Juvenile Justice System.
All able-bodied adult recipients capable of pursuing employment will obtain work.
Provide the basic necessities of life consistent with Social Service law to eligible residents, including food, shelter, and health care; and assist each customer in
achieving independence and self-sufficiency to the greatest degree possible.

collections, fraud repayments, chronic care co-payments recovery, etc.) and offset the local cost of providing services.
Identify, investigate, and terminate all vendors conducting illegal trafficking in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
Children & Family Services
Exercise due diligence and make all reasonable efforts to prevent children from entering foster care.
Collaborate with the Center for Juvenile Justice to make all reasonable efforts in preventing youth from going to non-secure detention.
Children and Family Services in collaboration with the Juvenile Justice Center have joined efforts with local not-for-profit agencies to offer community based
services which target at risk teens that would otherwise enter residential care. This alternative to placement (Community and Home Intensive Program) offers
intensive supervision as well as age appropriate, strength-based, validated skill and resilience building programs.
Maximize collections such as child support, fraud repayments, chronic care copayments recovery, etc. to offset the County cost of providing services.

MISSION
Schenectady Job Training Agency (SJTA) is a comprehensive employment and training organization with a mission to engage jobseekers/businesses in the community,
enhance employment opportunities for people, and supply a quality workforce for businesses.
DESCRIPTION OF DEPARTMENT PROGRAMS
SJTA has oversight of several programs designed to help residents succeed in finding and maintaining gainful employment. A program listing is as follows:
TANF (Temporary Assistance to Needy Families) services Public Assistance applicants and recipients. This includes orientation, assessment, counseling, job
readiness, work experience, education and vocational skill training, job placement, and post-employment services for those individuals deemed employable
under Department of Social Services (DSS) work rules.
Workforce Investment Act (WIA) offers five categories of service to the community:
o The Federal Workforce Investment Act provides job training to youths, adults, and dislocated workers.
o Trade Adjustment Assistance Reform Act of 2002 (TAA) assists individuals who have become unemployed as a result of increased imports from or
shifts in production to foreign countries.
o Adult Services provides residents age 18 and over access to job search assistance, career planning, support services, and training for occupations in
demand.
o Dislocated Worker funds are targeted to provide adult services to individuals who have been laid off by local employers experiencing reductions in
workforce or permanent closure.
o Youth income eligible residents ages 14-21 may receive services if they face certain barriers to employment. At least 30% of the funding for youth
services under WIA is dedicated to help those who are no longer in school.

services in the local One-Stop system.

YOUTH SERVICES
A7310
MISSION
As a member of the Integrated County Planning Team, the Youth Bureau envisions a future in Schenectady County where all families provide stable, nurturing
environments for children, have optimal physical and emotional health, and have access to services that are comprehensive, well-coordinated and community-based.
DESCRIPTION OF DEPARTMENT PROGRAM(S)
The Youth Bureau and Youth Board invest and monitor over $140,000 of NYS OCFS dollars in over 12 youth development programs throughout the County. The
Schenectady County Youth Bureau operates and/or oversees a number of programs designed to improve the lives of Schenectady County youth. Programs include:
SPYN (Schenectadys Promise Youth Network): Initiated by the Youth Bureau and Union College, meets monthly with local service providers and other nonprofit youth organizations. The meetings encourage collaboration, networking and support among agencies especially in these competitive fiscal times.
Schenectady County Job Shadow Day and Luncheon: Organized by the Youth Bureau, working in partnership with the Schenectady School District and Junior
Achievement of Albany County, introduced High School students to potential careers through this one-day, on-site orientation. Shadow experiences included
the Sheriffs Department, City Police Department, City and County Court Judges, County Probation, Public Defenders Office and City Fire Department. Entire
group (45 students) was welcomed by Schenectady County Community College for a luncheon at the Van Curler Room. Students were given a tour of the
campus and were served by the culinary art students of SCCC, several of whom were graduates of Schenectady High School.
SSCCORE (Schenectady Schools County/City Outreach, Recreation & Education Summer Camp): Served over 150 youth from ages 8 to 14 for six weeks
during the summer. The camp was located in Central Park in the City of Schenectady. Collaboration of partners included the Youth Bureau, the County and
City of Schenectady, the City of Schenectady Public School District, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Schenectady County, City of Schenectady Fire
Department, Schenectady County Sheriff Department, and 15 LOVE Tennis program. Academic enrichment (with three certified teachers from the SCSD),
swimming lessons, computer education, fishing instruction, nature hikes and exploring, tennis lessons and a number of other sports activities were offered
daily at no cost to the youth.
Page by Page: Trains teenagers to read to younger children in recreational settings to help teens develop leadership skills and improve basic literacy in the
elementary aged children. Over 25 teenage volunteers from throughout the County participated in this program.
Hillhurst/Steinmetz Park Summer Program: Through partnerships with the City of Schenectady, Boys & Girls Clubs of Schenectady, Cornell Cooperative
Extension, Schenectady City School District, Schenectady County Sherriff, and SICM lunch program the Schenectady County Youth Bureau was able to
provide a 7-week recreational and educational program at Hillhurst and Steinmetz Parks for 2012 and 2013. The success of the program was shown through the
nearly doubling our projected enrollment for the programs. Funding was provided by a successful grant application to the City of Schenectady Community
Development Block Grant Program.
OUTCOMES
All youth in Schenectady County will have access to affordable, quality youth development programs available during critical hours of need on a daily basis.
All youth will have opportunities to access leadership development programs and/or be utilized as assets to the community.
State and local leaders will be made aware of the importance of providing adequate funding for quality youth development and prevention programs.
The community will become more aware of opportunities that can be accessed for children and families residing in Schenectady County.
Organizations, departments and youth-serving agencies within Schenectady County will better utilize youth development principles when working with youth.

-209-

ICE RINK
A7320
MISSION
The mission of the Schenectady County Recreational Facility (SCRF) is to provide universal and public access to the County-owned ice rink.
DESCRIPTION OF DEPARTMENT PROGRAM(S)
The Schenectady County Recreational Facility is open daily, 50 weeks a year from 7:00 a.m. to midnight in season and 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. during the summer (each
July the rink is closed for two weeks for seasonal maintenance). SCRF generates public skate (including skate rentals) and ice rentals revenues. SCRF is open 7 days a
week providing open ice skating to the public generally between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Other skating opportunities include Learn to Skate programs, open
figure skating, open hockey and stick and puck programs, which are regularly scheduled and posted at the rink and on the County website. Ice rentals are generally rented
in 75-minute increments. SCRF is used by youth hockey leagues, two local high schools (the Schenectady/Niskayuna Mohawks and Burnt Hills/Ballston Lake Spartans),
three adult hockey leagues, local elementary and middle schools, church groups, and private parties and events.
PERFORMANCE TARGETS FOR 2014
Increase ice rink attendance to exceed 2013 target levels. In 2012, SCRF attendance increased 8.4 percent to 28,366 from the prior year and facility revenues
were the highest ever due to the popularity of pick-up adult hockey games and open figure skating aimed at teenage girls. Attendance in 2013 is forecasted to
increase over prior year results. Revenues should increase sharply due to rising attendance for premium-priced activities for figure skating and adult hockey
leagues that are both open to the public and expanded summer operating hours when most rinks in the region are closed.

Expanding late evening adult leagues.
Generate more income during summer when most Capital District rinks are closed.

LIBRARY
L FUND
MISSION
The mission of the Schenectady County Public Library is to satisfy our communitys informational, educational, cultural and recreational needs by providing free and open
access to a comprehensive range of materials, services and programs.
DESCRIPTION OF DEPARTMENT PROGRAM(S)
The Schenectady County Public Library is comprised of one Central Library and nine branches including locations in Duanesburg, Glenville, Niskayuna, Rotterdam, Scotia,
and the City of Schenectady. The Public Library is committed to improving the quality of life for County residents by making programs, services and resources a top
priority. Literacy is a core component of the nearly 1,178 programs for children, offered by the Public Library. Programs for adults have increased with a record breaking
10,584 in attendance over the past year and have enriched the lives of County residents. Library staff members are dedicated to promoting our programs to the public and
providing outreach service and resources into the community in a new and different way. Library units include:
Collection Development, which selects materials in various formats to match the needs of the community.
Circulation, which is responsible for activities connected with the lending and return of materials, including interlibrary loans from across the globe.
Reference, in which library staff assist patrons in finding materials and information.
Outreach, which provides library materials and programs to community organizations.
Technology, which provides computers, training, internet access and online resources to residents.
Adult Programming, which provides programs that stimulate lifelong learning and reading to County residents.
Juvenile Programming, which provides programs that encourage reading and promote literacy.
OUTCOMES
County residents will realize savings through the efficient administration of New York States only centralized, countywide Public Library system.
Literacy will improve throughout Schenectady County as a result of the implementation of the Restructuring Action Plan.

LIBRARY
L FUND
PERFORMANCE TARGETS FOR 2014
Meet the targeted savings in the Restructuring Action Plan.
Expand technology options and services and increase computer usage by 10%.
Increase the variety of programs offered to adults and children based on community needs.
Increase the number of program partners to enhance the literacy programming.
Create a new Family Literacy Center to serve the Hamilton Hill, Vale and Central State Street neighborhoods.
Implement new financial controls across all ten libraries.
50% of the circulation of library materials at the Central Library will be accomplished by RFID by the conclusion of 2014.
STRATEGIC INITIATIVES FOR 2014
Implement the cost savings efficiencies in the Restructuring Action Plan presented to the County Legislature.
Resume pre-school programs in branches that do not currently offer them and expand family literacy programming.
Expand after-school, summer and vacation week programs for youth.
Develop new operating revenues.
Investigate the creation of a Makerspace in our library.
2013 PERFORMANCE TARGETS UPDATE/2012 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
In 2012 we had the highest adult programming statistics in the librarys history and we had a dip in the attendance at youth programs due to the impact of the completion of
the new childrens room. Our circulation increased over the previous year despite the disruptions at the Central Library due to construction. We increased the use of social
media to promote library programs and resources. Upon completion of the renovation, the physical layout of the Central library was reconfigured to provide for a more
spacious layout of library materials, seating, and quiet areas for patrons to work.
Our 210 volunteers helped a great deal in this tough economic climate by donating 10,247 hours of their time to keep this library system running.
From training patrons on new reading devices, to negotiating the world of e-books, library staff has had to be prepared for the fast changing world of
information.
Staff members attended national and state conferences, and local library workshops. Many participated in webinars to further their education and to keep up
with a rapidly changing field.
Most of the library programming, from after school, to authors, to senior computing programs, is funded by the Friends of the Library. This organization
budgets almost $100,000 a year to support the library in a variety of ways. They also contributed to the purchase of computers, furniture, and supplies.
