TO: The Honorable Chair and Members of the Schenectady County Legislature
We present to you the County of Schenectady 2018 Tentative Operating and Capital Budget
recommendations for your review and consideration.
We are pleased to report that the 2018 Budget reduces property taxes by 1%. The 2018 levy
totals $70,431,103. This follows the 2017 tax freeze where taxes levied remained flat as compared
to 2016. The proposed tax levy is 3.79% less than the allowable 2018 property tax cap.
We held to our commitment and applied 100% of the casino tax revenues as an offset to
property taxes in the 2018 Budget. We offset the entire property tax cap increase and reduced the
levy by 1%.
The 2018 Budget reflects the hard work done over the past decade to put the County in a
strong fiscal position. County Government was right-sized. More than 220 positions were
eliminated and multiple departments were consolidated. Health care costs were contained, revenues
have been maximized and efficiencies and cost effective strategies have been instituted. Collectively
these strategies have reduced the cost of County Government by more than $50M annually.
Continuing this approach and discipline will be critical for the County to maintain its solid
financial position and to be prepared to handle potential external volatilities such as national
economic downturns or material changes in Federal and State intergovernmental fiscal systems.
At the same time that we are cutting taxes, the County will be undertaking a number of
strategic initiatives that focus on improving the quality of life of our communities, addressing
resident needs and improving service delivery. During 2018, construction will begin on the new
Mont Pleasant Branch Library. The 2018 Budget also includes major investments in our
Community College Campus, our parks, airport, highway and bridge infrastructure, libraries, arts,
entertainment and special events.
At the request of Legislative Leadership, the 2018 Budget includes funding for a specialized
Targeted Street Crime Initiative to be made up of officers from existing local, state and federal law
enforcement agencies for a three year period. The officers would have county-wide jurisdiction.
2018 funding provides for three new Sheriffs Patrol Officers and assigned officers from the
municipal governments within the County. This initiative also includes funding for technology,
other supports for local law enforcement and an expansion and major upgrade to the District
Attorneys public safety camera system.
Shared Services
Schenectady County Governments 2017 property tax levy represents 21% of the total
property taxes collected by all jurisdictions including all schools districts, the City, towns, villages
and special district taxes. The County collaborated with its municipal partners and developed a
property tax savings plan. Once fully implemented, the plan will save the property taxpayers in
Schenectady County $1.5M annually. Key components of the plan include the development of
15mW of solar power, additional energy saving initiatives and the development of a municipal
health care consortium that would be available to all municipalities in Schenectady County. The
2018 Budget also provides for the construction of new fuel tanks at our Public Works operation in
Rotterdam. The new fueling station will also be used by the Towns of Rotterdam and Princetown
and a local fire district. We will work aggressively during 2018 to implement the savings plan.
Economic Development
Neighborhood Revitalization
The 2018 Budget includes $75,000 to support the neighborhood revitalization efforts of the
Capital Region Landbank. The Landbank has been focusing investments in major neighborhood
corridors including Crane Street and Eastern Avenue as well as other inter-municipal initiatives
including the demolition of the former L&M Motel. These strategic investments clean up blighted
buildings and pave the way for new community development.

Investments in Parks, Trails and Recreational Services
The 2018 Capital Improvement Program includes a municipal park improvement program
to assist municipal partners in making improvements to parks throughout the County. The Capital
Improvement Program also includes $250,000 for the Vale Park Project made possible through a
NYS grant to construct a new trail connecting the current Vale trail system to Tribute Park. The
grant will also fund a forestry management initiative and lighting improvements.
We extend our thanks to Assemblyman Santabarbara for securing the funding for the
Plotterkill and Vale Park Projects.
A number of the users of our Recreational Facility have indicated that there is more demand
for ice time and ice rink space than is currently available. The 2018 Capital Budget includes funding
to conduct a feasibility analysis and to develop a preliminary design concept for a potential
expansion of our Recreational Facility. In 2018, we will also replace the Gateway Landing dock
along the Mohawk River.
The 2018 Budget provides for increased funding for the Schenectady County Tourism and
Convention Bureau. This investment will enable the Bureau to launch its multimedia campaign
needed to promote the growing arts, entertainment and leisure venues Schenectady County has to
offer.
The 2018 Budget includes $200,000 of funding to support Proctors, our premiere theater,
$60,000 to support other cultural and arts initiatives and ongoing support for our expanding special
events program. Our special events operation has added a number of new events this year
including the downtown concert series and a number of new initiatives are in the works for 2018.
Our Central Library and eight branch libraries have increased programming and partnerships
which are attracting new patrons to our libraries and programs. The libraries have increasingly
become community centers for learning, activities and community gatherings. In order to meet the
patron demand for services, the 2018 Budget provides for the conversion of part time staff to a new
Senior Library Clerk and an addition of 1.5 staff to support our countywide branch system. The
budget also provides for requested technology upgrades and expansions for patron use.
The Scotia Branch Library is housed in the Abraham Glen building owned by the Village of
Scotia. This historical building has origins that can be traced back to 1728 and the structure has had
numerous additions and retractions over its almost 300 year history. In order to ensure for the long
term integrity of this important building and to provide upgraded library space for our patrons, the
2018 Capital Budget includes funds to evaluate and develop a design plan that will ready the
structure for many years to come.
Construction of the new Mont Pleasant Branch Library will begin in 2018. The new branch
will have the expanded space necessary to accommodate additional programming and technology
3
space for our patrons. This initiative is also serving as a catalyst for other community development
in the Mont Pleasant neighborhood of the City.
More than $25M has been invested in the Schenectady County Community College campus
over the past decade. The Community College recently completed their campus master plan which
lays out a plan for the future development of the campus. The plan identified improved learning
support services and enhanced student services, enrichment in campus environment and renewal as
its critical focus. Central to this plan is the re-invention of Begley Hall into the Learning Commons
with a tutoring center, meeting and practice rooms and a center for excellence in teaching. The
second floor of Begley will be renovated and designed as the new campus library. Design and
engineering specifications will be initiated in 2018. The total project is estimated at $9.5M.
Other campus improvements include the first phase of an Elston Hall exterior rehabilitation
project. This building which is at the gateway to the College and to our community was the former
Hotel Van Curler built in 1925. As the structure approaches its 100th birthday, investments in the
exterior faade are in order. The 2018 Budget also provides for the development of a new campus
safety office which will in turn enable the future development of a welcome center in the campus
commons. Through a partnership with the College Foundation, a campus-wide signage project is
included in the 2018 Capital Budget. The Foundation is funding the match for this project.
Thanks to the granstmanship of our Highway and Engineering team, the County will be
undertaking an additional $4.2M in rehabilitation and paving preservation projects using Federal and
State funding during 2018. This includes 100% State Aid funding for Scotch Ridge Road culvert
replacement project. Federal aid projects include the Rosendale Road and River Road roundabout
project, the Sunnyside Road pavement preservation project, the Highbridge Road pavement
preservation and sidewalk rehabilitation project and the Campbell Road preservation project. These
projects are reimbursed at 80% Federal and 15% New York State.
Airport Initiatives
The Schenectady County Airport is a major County asset and we have set a goal to
rehabilitate all major runways and taxiways by 2020. The reconstruction of Runway 10/28 was
recently completed with Federal Aviation funding at 90% and York State funding at 5%. Runway
4/22, the Airports main runway at 7,000 feet, is currently under design and reconstruction is slated
for 2018.
4
The reconstruction of Taxiway C is included in the 2018 Capital Improvement Program for
construction. Taxiway C is 2,200 feet long by 75 feet wide and is a critical portion of the Airports
infrastructure as it provides access to Runway 28 and connects the Air National Guard Taxiway G
to the main runway. This taxiway is critical to the 109th Airlift Wing mission and accommodates the
larger aircraft that are based at and visit our Airport.
Meeting this goal for the reconstruction of all major runways and taxiways was made
possible through the cooperative effort and funding between the County, the U.S Airforce, the U.S.
Federal Aviation Administration and New York State. The investments in our airport runways since
2015 are estimated to be $14,452,000 of which the County share is $617,300 or 4.27%.
Additional Upgrades
The 2018 Capital Plan includes infrastructure improvements to the Correctional Facility,
roof replacements at three county facilities and infrastructure and exterior improvements to the
County Office Building.
The 2018 Capital Improvement Program allocates approximately $250,000 for technology
infrastructure, security systems and software improvements. The hardware improvements include
the scheduled replacement of computers, servers and other hardware as well as installation of
wireless access points for the Courthouse and County Office Building.
During the challenging post-recession years, we were forced to pull back from our scheduled
replacement of both our large trucks and general vehicle fleet. Recommended purchases in 2018,
similar to last year, reflect a gradual movement towards improving the County fleet.
Counties in New York State carry out and fund in part the child protective and child welfare
response system. Child protective services and foster care are critical services necessary to protect
our most vulnerable citizens. They are also very expensive services. Fortunately, strategies that are
in the best interest of children can also be cost effective. The 2018 Budget continues the Countys
commitment to the strong community based continuum of child welfare services.
Another major goal is to assure children are placed in permanent and loving homes and that
we provide the necessary services and interventions that assure children do not linger in the foster
care system. We will continue to participate in projects such as the Wendys Foundation initiative
that invests in very intensive adoptive home searching and recruitment strategies for children
without identified family resources.
Statewide, counties have done a good job at reducing the number of children in foster care
and moving children to permanency. Sometimes doing a good job is not always rewarded.
5
Unfortunately, this success was countered with a reduction in the New York State Foster Care
Block Grant during the last New York State budget process. This reduction is reflected in the
2018 budget.
The 2018 Budget reflects a new delivery model for the Women, Infant and Children
nutrition program. Public Health will be taking the lead in the program delivery and Cornell
Cooperative Extension is continuing as our community based nutrition partner. This program is
delivered at no cost to the County.
Major legislation was passed this year related to 16 and 17 year olds in the criminal justice
system. New York State overhauled the system and has created a fairly complex response system.
Starting in October of 2018, 16 year olds that commit a crime will no longer enter the traditional
adult criminal justice system. Significant information is still forthcoming and our initial plan may be
subject to change based on more direction from New York State.
The 2018 budget provides for the October start up that includes Probation staff and
traditional detention and placement services. Critical to the response system for non-violent
offenders is a community based system grounded in the values of restorative justice that address
both the impact on victims and focus on behavior change and development of the offender. The
interventions include the use of credible messengers to work with youth, increased community
supervision and monitoring and opportunities for youth development and behavior change.
The 2018 budget assumes that these services will be 100% funded by New York State.
Behavioral Health
There is an opioid epidemic occurring across our Country. At this time, Schenectady
County is not experiencing the devastating trends experienced in other states and counties; however,
we are seeing a negative trend emerging. The 2018 budget includes a re-energized substance abuse
prevention program that will target awareness and intervention strategies in schools and in the
community. In addition, through collaborative interdepartmental initiatives, the Office of
Community Services and Public Health are working with the treatment system, law enforcement, the
health care system, first responders and other community based agencies to identify and address
systems gaps and implement new strategies. The 2018 Budget includes new funding to address an
identified gap using a promising intervention model that uses credible messengers to engage those in
need of treatment to go to treatment and to stay in treatment.
Senior Services
The 2018 Budget provides for a full continuum of services for our older adults including the
provision of 112,000 home delivered and congregate meals, at-home personal care services, medical
transportation services and a host of opportunities for social gatherings to be held throughout the
year including a New Years party and an annual summer picnic.
Glendale Home
6
The net county cost for Glendale is once again lower. This is reflective of a strong census,
our long term cost savings strategies, increased revenues and cost containment.
The 2018 Budget includes conversions of part time nursing, certified nursing assistant, and
recreation assistance staffing to full time as it has become increasingly difficult to recruit and retain
direct care staffing.
The number of families and friends visiting Glendale has significantly increased since we
moved to the new building. To accommodate the visitors needs, the 2018 budget includes a small
parking lot expansion project to provide 10 additional visitor parking spaces.
Unlike other levels of local government, County Government budgets in New York State
remain dominated by New York State and Federal mandated programs and expenses that consume
approximately 80% of county locally generated tax dollars. We continue to find new and better
ways to manage mandated costs. Managing these costs has been central to our fiscal stability.
Mandated program costs are up overall in 2018. Medicaid alone consumes $33,108,252 of
the property taxes levy in 2018; reflecting 47% of the Countys property tax levy. This includes an
Affordable Care Act revenue offset of approximately $2M. Should this funding be removed as part
of any health care reform, the County liability would return to $35M or 49.7% of the levy. Medicaid
is not a cost center that we can impact. The Countys liability is a set amount each year and has
nothing to do with caseloads or specific costs in Schenectady County. We are grateful that New
York State has capped the Medicaid liability in recent years; however, we will need to carefully watch
for Federal and State intergovernmental fiscal actions that could impact the long term county costs
of this program.
Similar to most counties, Schenectady Countys Temporary Assistance caseloads for both
individuals and families peaked in 2014 post the recession. Since then, caseloads have dropped
approximately 20%; however caseloads have not yet returned to the pre-recession levels. Our DSS
and Job Training Agency are working with our clients on an employment first strategy. Our Home
Connections initiative that includes partnerships with community based agencies has moved a
number of individuals and families from temporary shelter services to permanent housing. This
program is proving to be successful and has resulted in a 25% reduction in the cost for shelter
services.
Counties are mandated to fund Schenectady County residents attending community colleges
in other counties. The increase in county cost in 2018 is estimated to be $495,000 based on the
number of students attending college and rate increases charged by other colleges. This year
Hudson Valley Community College increased its rate by 46% for the 2017/18 fiscal year. This is
primarily the result of a chargeback formula that allows colleges to set dramatic rate increases year to
year. This unpredictable and unfair chargeback rate system is well overdue for restructuring. At a
minimum, the chargeback rate should include a cap on the rate of increase just as counties are
subject to a property tax cap.
Counties administer and fund the New York State Children with Special Needs Pre-school
Education Program (ages 3 to 5). We also administer and fund the Early Intervention Program
7
(ages birth to 3). The 2018 budget reflects an increase in the number of children eligible for services
as well as an increase in the cost of these services. The 2018 appropriations total $11,058,000 with a
net cost after reimbursements to the County of $4,245,000 which is up approximately $100,000 over
the 2017 budgeted levels.
The 2018 Budget reflects the recently announced New York State Employee Retirement
System rates for 2018/19. Based on the blended rates for 2017/2018 and 2018/2019 along with the
staff cost of living adjustments, the 2018 cost totals $10,485,000; up $299,000 from the 2017
budgeted level.
Revenues
100% of the casino licensing fee from 2016 and the first year casino tax revenues in 2017
have been dedicated to the retirement of older, more expensive debt held by the County. As
outlined in the 2017 budget, this resulted in an offset to property taxes by $900,000 in 2017 which
enabled us to keep the 2017 property tax levy flat.
The 2018 budget includes $2,012,000 in anticipated casino revenues as an offset to property
taxes. Not only does this budget proposal offset the use of the property tax cap in the amount of
$2,665,470, it also reduces the property tax levy by $711,425 (1%).
Sales tax revenues remained flat from 2014 to 2016. 2017 has seen an increase year to date
much related to one time sales and use collections and prior year audit adjustments. The 2018
Budget anticipates growth over the 2017 Budgeted level.
Tobacco Settlement revenues are down $260,000 reflecting the continued decline in tobacco
sales as well as required repayments related to overpayments received from sales that should have
been exempted.
The 2018 budget for the first time includes revenues anticipated from the new medical
marijuana production plant located in the Glenville Business and Technology Park. There will be a
7% excise tax on the gross income from the sales. Schenectady County will receive a portion of this
New York State tax.
Closing
We remain focused on minimizing the tax burden on our property tax payers, ensuring fiscal
stability, improving the quality of life for our residents and growing our economy. The 2018
Tentative Budget continues our efforts to make local government smarter, more effective and
responsive to constituents needs.
The County is committed to its focus on shared services and consolidation, efficiency
measures and aggressive efforts to control spending and capitalize on grants and other funding
sources.
8
Given the uncertainty in the revenue trends and the uncertainty in the Federal, New York
State and county intergovernmental fiscal systems, continued fiscal constraint is urged to maintain
the stability and security we have all worked hard to attain.
Producing the annual budget is a large and collective task. I wish to acknowledge the
leadership and contributions of the Schenectady County Legislature and its Leadership team, as well
as department heads and staff for their assistance in formulating this budget proposal. It is
important to recognize department heads, staff, unions and contract agencies for their willingness to
develop creative solutions that make government more efficient and effective. Without this
dedication and creativity, we could not have sustained the level of financial stability we have
achieved over a decade of rethinking and redesigning operations and services.
A note of thanks goes to Terry Mariano, First Deputy Commissioner of Finance; Kim
Scheuer, Deputy Commissioner of Finance; Ryan Gregoire, Assistant to the County Manager;
RuthAnne Foster, Director of Accounting Systems; Alex Pollinger, Budget Analyst; Savitree Rikhi,
Financial Management System Coordinator; Lela Carpenter, Personnel Technician; Shannon
Perrone and Rosemary DAllaird for the many hours they dedicated to the preparation of this
budget recommendation.
I especially want to thank Deborah Mancini, Commissioner of Finance, for her on going
leadership, dedication and wisdom in the development of the Countys overall fiscal plan and 2018
budget recommendation. Deborahs remarkable ability for strategic fiscal thinking as well as her
extraordinary mastery of each County Departments fiscal operations has contributed enormously to
the overall stewardship of the Countys finances and strong fiscal position.
In closing, we look forward to working with the County Legislature in its review of this
recommendation, to continue to develop new initiatives for our community and to implement the
Legislatures 2018 goals, objectives and budget policy.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY
A1165
MISSION
The mission of the Schenectady County District Attorneys Office is to prosecute all crimes committed within Schenectady County.
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.
In 2016 the District Attorneys Office adjudicated 473 cases in Schenectady County Court, maintaining a conviction rate of 99.2%. Of those cases, the office
convicted 8 individuals of homicide charges. While 20 defendants were convicted after trial, there was one acquittal in 2016.
The District Attorneys Office continued to expand the public surveillance camera system which by mid-summer of 2017 consists of 200 cameras installed in
virtually every neighborhood in the City of Schenectady. These cameras, most of which now feature high definition image capture, have helped solve crimes and
convict offenders in a variety of prosecutions including homicide, arson, sex crimes, robberies, and shootings.
The District Attorney led Schenectady Child Advocacy Center continues to be a resource for every law enforcement agency in the County, hosting 314 interviews
of children.
In 2016 our arson task force, consisting of investigators from the Schenectady Fire Department, the Schenectady Police Department, the federal ATF, and an
assistant district attorney, successfully prosecuted 19 arson cases. The national arrest is 28% for arson cases and the conviction rate is between 2% and 5%. Our
arrest rate in Schenectady in 2016 was 78% with a 100% conviction rate.
The State of New York has continued Schenectadys successful Crimes Against Revenue Program that has achieved a greater than 169.43% return on investment,
by funding an investigator and an ADA to investigate crimes such as income and sales tax evasion, welfare fraud, unemployment insurance fraud, and violations of
labor law that could result in recovered revenues to the State.

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.
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 has been funded in its entirety by Asset Forfeiture funds.
This important service is not only effective but without burden to the taxpayers. The Sheriff added three additional K-9s to our Department over the last several months
including one explosive detection K-9 for a total of six in this unit.
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 Sheriffs Office also participates in the Project LifeSaver. It is a rapid response program that aids in locating at risk individuals with cognitive disorders
who are at constant risk to the life threatening behavior of wandering including those with Alzheimers, Autism, Down Syndrome or Dementia, and returning them to their
families or caregivers.
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 2010 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 a 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 dedicate more monies to
enforcement.

SHERIFF

In expanding our service capabilities, the Sheriff entered into a professional services agreement with former NYSP Investigator John Curry. This addition will greatly
enhance the Offices enforcement and investigative services in specialized areas such as explosive detection and removal, response to CBRN situations, critical asset
protection and threat assessment and counterterrorism.
During 2015, the Sheriff officially created the Schenectady County Sheriffs Office Narcotics Enforcement Unit with the assignment of two road patrol deputies and the
intention to expand the unit in the near future. After several years of productive and successful assignment of an investigator to the Capital District DEA Federal Task
Force, the Sheriff reassigned the investigator to the newly established narcotics enforcement unit as well as added an experienced investigator and administrator to serve as
inspector of the Unit. This reconfiguration was implemented with the objective to address mid to high level narcotics trafficking in Schenectady County with an emphasis
on heroin trafficking which has grown to epidemic levels and prevalence in Schenectady County as well as the surrounding Capital District Region and beyond. Over the
past few years, the activity and performance of the unit has proven to be a success with having made 322 drug buys and executing 73 search warrants resulting in numerous
arrests, indictments and successful prosecutions and forfeiture of criminal assets.
The Sheriff has made ongoing efforts to expand this unit which was established to combat recent trends with rapidly increasing drug trafficking activities and the explosion
of heroin use throughout the County. The recent hiring of two additional deputies and an investigator who will be assigned to the Narcotics Unit will serve to enhance the
Agencys investigative and enforcement service capabilities in combating the expansion of drug trafficking activity throughout the County.
During 2015 the Sheriff created the Schenectady County Sheriffs Department Marine Patrol Unit. The Sheriffs Office currently has two certified Marine Patrol Deputies
and obtained a marked patrol vessel from the NYS Parks Department. The Sheriffs Office received a $39,000 grant from the NYS Canal Corporation which will fund the
Marine Patrol for 2015 with only a 25% match from Schenectady County as well as additional funding form the NYS Parks and Recreation Department. For 2017, the
Sheriffs Office was able to secure renewed grant funding from the NY State Canal Corp and the NY State Parks Department which provided for the acquisition of a new
patrol boat and sustained support for Marine Patrol operations. As a result, the Sheriff was able to assign another deputy for duty with the Marine Patrol Unit which will be
able to maintain a more regular presence on the River which includes the addition of a new harbor area at the recently opened casino resort and hotel.
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.

PROBATION - ADOLESCENT UNIT
A3142
MISSION
To enhance public safety by providing effective community-based strategies that promotes positive behavior change, accountability and law-abiding behavior.
As part of the 2017/2018 State Budget, Part WWW of Chapter 59 of the Laws of 2017 requires counties to implement new reforms raising the age of criminal responsibility
for certain offenders in our community. The existing definition of Juvenile Delinquency will be expanded to include youth charged with misdemeanors at the age of 16
beginning Oct. 1, 2018, and youth at the age of 17 beginning Oct. 1, 2019. A new class of adolescent offender was included in this legislation. An adolescent offender is a
youth who is 16 as of October 1, 2018, and 17 as of October 1, 2019, and charged with a felony. NYS will reimburse counties 100% of eligible expense related to
implementation of this new legislation.
Court Processing
Misdemeanors:
All misdemeanor cases (other than vehicle and traffic law misdemeanors) will be heard in Family Court pursuant to the Family Court Act. This includes Family
Court Act procedures for adjustment and confidential records.
Felonies:
All felony cases of eligible youth will originate with Youth Part of the adult Criminal Court.
All non-violent felonies will be transferred from the Youth Part to the Family Court unless the District Attorney (DA) files a motion within 30 days showing
extraordinary circumstances as to why the case should remain in the Youth Part.
Certain violent felonies can also be transferred from the Youth Part to the Family Court if the charges do NOT include the accused displaying a deadly weapon in
furtherance of the offense, causing significant physical injury, or engaging in unlawful sexual conduct.
16 and 17-year-olds whose cases remain in the Youth Part will be referred to as Adolescent Offenders. Adult sentencing will apply, but the Judge must take the
youths age into account when sentencing. Adolescent Offenders are eligible for Youthful Offender treatment, as is the current law with respect to 16 and 17-year-
olds charged as adults.
The Youth Part of Superior Court will allow for probation case planning as a pre-dispositional service and in the post-arraignment phase of the proceeding.
-98-
PROBATION - ADOLESCENT UNIT
A3142
Family Court:
Youth whose cases are heard in the Family Court will be processed pursuant to existing Juvenile Delinquency (JD) laws, which includes the opportunity for
adjustment.
Youth Part of Adult Court:
New Youth Parts will be created. All 13- to 15-year-old Juvenile Offenders and all 16- and 17-year-old Adolescent Offenders will have their cases heard in the
Youth Part.
Family Court Judges will preside over cases in the Youth Parts.
Facilities
No 16- or 17-year-old will be sentenced to or detained in a facility with adults.
Youth whose cases are heard in Family Court will be detained or placed in OCFS-operated, OCFS-licensed, or ACS facilities (including Close to Home), as
Juvenile Delinquents currently are.
Adolescent Offenders who are detained pre-trial will be held in a specialized secure juvenile detention center for older youth, which will be certified and regulated
by OCFS in conjunction with the state commission of correction. Judges have the discretion to order that Adolescent Offenders who are sentenced to less than a
year serve such sentences in a specialized juvenile detention center for older youth.
Adolescent Offenders who are sentenced to state imprisonment will be placed in an Adolescent Offender facility developed by the state with enhanced security
operated by DOCCS, and managed by OFCS.

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.
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. The local share of Medicaid was capped as the result of legislation adopted in 2005.
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), SNAP, 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.
OUTCOMES
Temporary Assistance
Families will achieve optimal self-sufficiency and function as independently as possible in the community.
Children and youth will be raised in families with sufficient economic resources to meet their basic needs.
All fraud will be pursued and prosecuted to the fullest extent.
Children & Family Services
Families will provide children with safe, stable, nurturing environments.
