Shared Services plan outlines $21K countywide in savings By BOB CLARK
BELMONT — A smaller shared services plan for Allegany County is on its way to the state for review. The county planning department showcased the state-mandated 2019 Countywide Shared Services Initiative plan to the Board of Legislators on Jan. 25, capping off months of work. “We have to do this through 2021 so far — and we look forward to the challenge,” said Michelle Denhoff, a planning and development specialist with the county. While the savings are estimated to be less than 1 cent per taxpayer across the county, officials noted that around $21,000 could be saved under the plan. Officials noted savings estimates in the 2018 plan were significantly higher, as the plan included: • Bulk purchasing, estimated at $240,000 • A Healthcare consortia for employees, around $180,000 • LED streetlights for municipalities, $100,000 • Joint tax assessment, $70,000 • Group utility purchases, $30,000 • Online or countysupported tax collections, $25,000 Not all of those have been implemented, or implemented by all municipalities, director
of planning Kier Dirlam said, and Denhoff noted that many municipalities are also still working on implementing the 2018 plan. The 2019 county plan does not include any school districts or fire districts, which take in almost half of the property tax dollars across the county. Created in the state budget approved in 2017, the initiative calls on local governments to find cost savings through collaborative efforts. Under the law, the counties outside of New York City were required to create a panel for shared services, create a plan either that year or in the next year, and the state would offer matching funds for the amount saved. Areas of potential savings included: • The elimination of duplicative services; • Shared services, such as joint purchasing, shared highway equipment, shared storage facilities, shared plowing services, and energy and insurance purchasing cooperatives; • Reduction in back office administrative overhead; and • Better coordination of services. Allegany County officials in 2017 chose to delay implementing a plan, instead waiting

Madelyn “Maddie” Muurisepp, a seventhgrader at Immaculate Conception School of Allegany County in Wellsville, was honored Thursday during the 20th annual Catholic education dinner in Buffalo. She received the fourth annual Natalie Mattimore Lewis Kindness Counts Award. Maddie was nominated for her award by Nora Burdick, the principal at Immaculate Conception, who recognized Maddie for being a serious student with a kind heart, gentle spirit and a beautiful sense of faith. “Maddie has an amazing ability to march to her own beat while
holding fast to honorable values,” Burdick says. “People are comfortable being in Maddie’s presence because she makes a point of being inclusive. Her zest for life is enhanced by the many activities she is involved in. Maddie has a wonderful ability of connecting with others and is kind to her classmates, teammates, teachers, and everyone she meets.” A graduate of St. Rose of Lima School in Buffalo and a young woman of great faith, Natalie Mattimore Lewis died tragically in a hot air balloon accident. Her short life was punctuated by a conscious commitment to acts of

Wellsville’s Big Cat Robotics earns Judges Award
CUBA — Wellsville's VEX Robotics team, Big Cat Robotics, was back in action Jan. 15, competing in an official VEX Robotics Qualifying Tournament at Cuba-Rushford. The competition included 27 teams from nearby schools in Allegany and Cattaraugus counties. This year's game, "Tower Takeover," is played on a 12x12 field and requires students to build a custom robot that must pick up cubes and place
them in goal zones, or in towers, to score points for their alliance. There are four teams on the gaming field during each match, two for each alliance. Students must program their robot to move without control for the first 15-seconds of the match, with the team scoring the most points receiving a bonus. After the 15-second autonomous period, teams can control their robot to navigate the gaming field and score points for their team.
Despite missing out on the finals, Wellsville's Big Cat Robotics took home one of only three awards that are given out at officially sanctioned VEX Robotics events. Wellsville's team received the Judges Award, which is given to the team deserving of special accomplishments during the competition. The Judges Award is presented to a team that the judges determine is deserving of special recognition. Judges consider a number of
Allegany County schools would receive $127M in state aid for 2020-21 The $28.5 billion set aside in the proposed 2020-21 New York state budget for schools contains nearly $127 million in state aid for the 10 districts in Allegany County, up $4.2 million over 2019-20. Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced his proposed budget Jan. 21. The spending plan must be approved by the State Legislature by April 1. ALLEGANY COUNTY school districts: Alfred-Almond — $8.8 million, up 4.31%
Andover — $6 million, up 7.12%. Belfast — $7.9 million, up 4.11%. Bolivar-Richburg — $16.7 million, up 1.72%. Canaseraga — $4.7 million, up 5.71%. Cuba-Rushford — $15 million, up 5.15%. Fillmore — $13.6 million, up 3.69%. Friendship — $8.5 million, up million, up 2.85%. Wellsville — $20.6 million, up 2.59%.

until 2018 to complete the process. Around 40% of counties across the state took a similar tack. Property taxes are the largest tax burden to the New York taxpayer, according to the Department of State, with the typical taxpayer paying 2.5 times more in property taxes than in income taxes.
It’s not the first time in recent memory the state has passed legislation to stem the rising tide of property taxes. The 2011 property tax cap limits how far municipalities can raise the property tax levy under a formula. As a base, the formula uses a rate of two percent — where the cap gets
its misnomer as “the two-percent tax cap” — or the annual change in the Consumer Price Index, whichever is lower. However, the rate has been as low as 0.12 percent, and with calculations varying based on other factors, a few municipalities have seen tax caps requiring a decrease in tax levy.
possible criteria for this award, such as team displays of special attributes, exemplary effort and perseverance at the event, or team accomplishments or endeavors throughout the season that may not fit under existing awards but are nonetheless deserving of special recognition. Big Cat Robotics will next compete in the "VEX in the Valley" tournament at Canaseraga CSD on Saturday, Feb. 8.

Giglio says Cuomo's marijuana proposals need more changes, standalone bill
By RICK MILLER
Assemblyman Joseph Giglio acknowledged Gov. Andrew Cuomo has tweaked his proposals to regulate and tax marijuana in New York — but not enough yet to get his vote. Giglio, R-Gowanda, said despite having a year to refine a bill to regulate the growth and sale of marijuana, Cuomo has instead added the issue to the budget. “It’s a new department that will do everything to do with marijuana — the adult use of cannabis,” Giglio said. “He said it would address all issues and should be in the budget, not a separate bill.” Giglio noted the state was in “desperate need

of revenue,” but that the program wouldn’t kick in fully for 18 months. In addition, while state officials are estimating $300 million in annual revenue,
Giglio said, “The cost of the problems that come will exceed the marijuana taxes,” he predicted. He said he feared “adult use will filter
down to kids” and “add a danger to the highways” with more motorists driving high. “The (drug) rehabilitation and treatment people are all afraid of this bill,” Giglio said. “They are the people who know best what the effects will be.” County law enforcement and health officials are also expressing concern. A new state Office of Cannabis Management would regulate all aspects of marijuana growth and sales instead of a marijuana czar, as Cuomo proposed last year. This year’s proposal contained in Cuomo’s $175 billion state budget “establishes a regulated adult-use cannabis program that protects public health, provides

What Is a Back Door Roth IRA? Taxpayers with higher incomes don’t qualify to contribute to a Roth IRA directly. If you’re one of these people, you can still use a Roth IRA account by using what’s known as a back door Roth IRA.
Otherwise, it’ll result in a taxable conversion. If you answer everything correctly, you should have no problem entering a tax-free conversion. You’ll see the converted amount on Form 1040, Line 4a, and zero on Line 4b.
You can use a back door Roth IRA by completing these steps: Make a nondeductible contribution to a traditional IRA. This IRA has no income limits preventing you from contributing to it. Then, immediately convert the traditional IRA contribution to a Roth IRA.
be asked for the value of your traditional IRAs. If you’ve converted all your traditional IRAs to Roth IRAs, the value is zero at the end of the current year. You’ll also be asked for the basis of your traditional IRAs at the
end of the previous year. If you converted all your IRAs before the end of last year, your basis is zero. Back door IRAs can be complicated, so you need to answer all the questions correctly.
it’s likely to cost more.” Giglio cites the fear of health and substance abuse treatment officials that marijuana can effect development of adolescent brains. “Young people’s brains don’t fully develop until their mid-20s.” he said. “What’s this going to do? Is this just a revenue producer?” Giglio isn’t sure where Cuomo got the $300 million in annual taxes. “I believe the budget is a financial document,” Giglio said. This should be a standalone bill. There will be no further debate when it’s part of the budget. I think we could do it better as a standalone bill.” State lawmakers last year decriminalized possession of small amounts of marijuana, although sales remain illegal.

consumer protection, ensures public safety, addresses social justice concerns and invests tax revenue.” The bill also provides for parity between the state’s existing alcoholrelated impaired driving laws when a means of detecting that impairment level is available. New resources would be made available to law enforcement. Giglio still has concerns about marijuana being a “gateway drug,” triggering additional drug use in some people. “The bottom line is are we adding something to our communities that will make it more hazardous? What is the long-term effect? ” the assemblyman asked. “If you think it is a revenue,

Since a conversion doesn’t count as a contribution, your income doesn’t limit it. And, since the IRS already taxed the nondeductible contribution to the traditional IRA, the conversion isn’t taxable. However, there might be taxes on your earnings if step one and step two don’t happen all at once. If you make a nondeductible contribution to a traditional IRA, then wait days, weeks, or months before converting to a Roth IRA, you might have accumulated earnings the IRS can tax. Things to Remember About Back Door Roth IRA Conversions When you’re reporting a back door IRA, keep these things in mind if you’re using H&R Block’s online program or software: This isn’t a rollover or a recharacterization — it’s a conversion. So, answer the rollover and recharacterization questions correctly. When you get to the section on IRA contributions, you must enter your conversion as a contribution to a traditional IRA, not a Roth IRA. At some point, you’ll

ALFRED — Alfred State College joined 13 other Appalachian-based colleges and universities at the 19th annual Appalachian Teaching Project (ATP) Symposium in Washington to present The Urban Design Studio’s community visualization study of the village of Bolivar. The purpose of the study was to help residents and municipal officials envision potential strategies for preserving and revitalizing their existing business district. The research team was led by William Dean, a professor in Alfred State’s Department of Architecture and Design, and Dr. Craig Clark, Alfred State vice president for Economic Development and executive director of the Allegany County IDA. “This was an exciting project for the students to work on in collaboration with the people in Bolivar, and we had a great turnout for the public presentation,” Dean said. “We also received a
great deal of support from the Allegany County Department of Planning including Director of Planning Kier Dirlam and Assistant Director of Economic Development and Planning Angela McKay.” Dean said the project illustrates Alfred State’s commitment to civic engagement, applied learning and making a local and regional impact. Clark added, “The teaching project and utilizing Alfred State College students to energize our communities and develop plans for community development is important to economic development in Allegany county.” To prepare for the ATP Symposium, 14 students enrolled in ARCH 7306-Design Studio 5: Urban Studies, a for-credit course to design and lead research projects in Appalachian communities, to address regional challenges. Each ATP project focuses on one of five themes: outdoor
recreation and tourism development; workforce barriers, community health and the opioid crisis; community development through cultural heritage and the arts; community planning and asset development; and Appalachian waterways and parks. As a capstone for the course work, students and their faculty sponsors travel to Washington to present their work to other student delegations, ARC leadership and community leaders at the symposium. “I am very proud of the students representing Alfred State College as they continue their important course work toward building a better future for their communities,” said ARC Federal Co-Chairman Tim Thomas. “These students are engaged in work that benefits an entire region and represents an institution that has worked consistently within our region to prepare our next generation of leaders.”

infusion opportunities in the area, UR Medicine officials report. In addition to the existing bays under UR Medicine’s banner, Upper Allegheny Health System has eight bays at a center on North Union Street. The filing states the project is expected to add a minimum of $800,000 of operating income to the hospital’s annual budget. The move will also take the STCC operation from a for-profit enterprise to a nonprofit one. During the public hearing on the site plan, neighbor Jennifer Eaton-Miller asked the
applicant to explain how medical waste would be handled at the site. Jim Helms, chief financial officer of JMH, said anything beyond office waste being disposed of through an existing dumpster setup will be handled through existing contracts with the hospital. “None of the waste will be disposed of here, locally,” he said, adding any potentially hazardous waste will be disposed of in accordance with state law. “Medical and chemo waste … we will contain that waste and transport it back to the hospital.”
Man jailed for kidnapping, robbery in Fillmore
FILLMORE — A Chautauqua County man is facing more than half a dozen felony charges for kidnapping, robbery and burglary following a pair of home invasions. On Jan. 22, Amity-based New York State Police charged Mark A. Sarama, 31, of Mayville, with second-degree kidnapping and two counts each of firstdegree burglary and firstdegree robbery, all class B felonies; second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, a class C felony; fourth-degree grand larceny, a class E felony; and resisting arrest, a class A misdemeanor, following a pair of incidents in the village in the early morning hours. Troopers allege that Samara went into a residence on Emerald Street and struck

Center currently provides consultations and chemotherapy infusion services on East Delaware Avenue with five infusion bays, which will be closed and moved to the new location. Early this month, Family Video announced the store would be closing in the near future. The last day of business was Sunday. The site, previously owned by Mahar Enterprises, was purchased by Family Video in late 2005, with the existing structure erected in 2006. The medical facility is expected to expand

a 90-year-old man with a handgun, rendering the victim unconscious. The suspect discharged the weapon in the residence then stole a flat screen TV and cash. This was reported by the 90-year-old victim who contacted police and he was treated by EMS for non-life threatening injuries. Troopers said Sarama stole the pistol from another Emerald Street location where he was staying. Then, Samara went to another Emerald Street residence and took a person from that home at gunpoint with the intention of taking the victim to an ATM for a cash withdrawal. Troopers confronted Sarama outside the residence by the victim’s vehicle. Sarama allegedly resisted arrest, and troopers physically took him
into custody. However, Sarama soon overdosed on narcotics he had previously taken, troopers said, and Samara was taken to Jones Memorial Hospital in Wellsville for treatment. Sarama was released from the hospital and taken into police custody again. Sarama was arraigned in the town of Hume Court and remanded to the Allegany County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bail, $200,000 insurance company bond or $300,000 partially secured appearance bond. The felony hearing is scheduled for later in the month. If found guilty, Samara faces 5 to 25 years for each of the class B violent felonies. The class C violent felony is punishable by 3.5 to 15 years in prison. The class E non-violent felony is punishable by up to 4 years in prison.
