Stumbar said the current plan for making meetings and services accessible was "a big disappointment to handicapped people in this county. It's really gotten to a point where it's become ridiculous." A second lawsuit, challenging the accessibility of all county buildings not simply mectings is a possibility "if they continue to drag their feet," Stumbar added. Harris B. Dates (R-Lansing), county board chairman, said this morning that the county is making an effort to comply, and that meetings may be moved to a first-floor location. "We are going to abide by the law," Dates said.

"It's our aim to Continued from Page 1 whether the meeting would be moved or if he would instead be carried up the stairs. He was told he would be carried, Holdsworth said. That offer was "humiliating dangerous, in fact," Holdsworth said this morning. Williamson could not be reached for comment. Raimon, the other complainant, a retired Cornell labor economics professor pointed out that he will not be able to attend the hearing on his own lawsuit, either, without being carried up the stairs since it is also expected to be held in one of the county's two courtrooms, both of which are inaccessible to people in wheelchairs.

New federal guidelines require that government programs and services be made accessible to the handicapped. However, the Holdsworth-Ralmon suit is based on a New York State law that went into effect in September 1977, just three years ago. Known as the "open meetings law," it calls for public meetings to be held in barrier-free locations. Most county meetings are held on the second floor of the courthouse or the second floor of "County Building at 128 E.

Buffalo St. Neither building has an elevator. Making the courthouse accessible to the handicapped could cost over $100,000, county officials say. A public information session on possible plans for accessibility will be held at noon Friday at a regular session of the county planning and public works committee. That meeting will be held in the Assessment Department on the first floor of County Building not at its usual second-floor location, Chairman James W.

Ray (R-Enfield-Newfield) said Thursday. A 24-page study of accessibility was completed by the county Planning Department in March. It recommends setting up a "handicapped service center" in the entrance corridor of the first-floor Assessment Department at 128 E. Buffalo St. The center would provide a table, a telephone and a directory of county services so that handicapped visitors could call specific departments and ask for service.

Then department employees would come down to the center and help the handicapped in person. The center is the first phase of the county study, and could be started as soon as legislators approve it. The second phase would mean construction of a ramp and elevator in the 1930s courthouse and carries a $100,000 price tag. Continued from Page 3 has the right to post notices of any kind, of course." He added the filing of unfair labor practices charges during a union campaign is "fairly standard operating procedure." He said employees in the utilities department are already represented by the International Union of Operating Engineers, and are, therefore, ineligible to be unionized by the UAW.

Van Buskirk said the plant's building manager told her to take the matter up with Personnel Services Director Gary Posner. When Van Buskirk first called Posner's office, she said, she was told the bulletin board was not out-of-bounds for union organizers, if it had been used for any type of solicitation in the past. Then, on Aug. 26, after the material had been removed again, a personnel officer called her to say the bulletin board was, in fact, only for official Cornell business. Van Buskirk said: "Obviously, they're changing policy if they're suddenly deciding this is an official Cornell bulletin board.

This is a perfect example of why employees want to unionize. Cornell wants to be in total control." Personnel Director Posner was unavailable for comment. oa he tuocilhoul FORECAST LahmaLinA4 Local outlook Cloudy and sunny periods today. Highs in the mid 60s. Partly cloudy tonight and Friday.

Although mail regulations say the free service can be used for campus business only, they were rarely enforced in the past, Valentino said. "While they're prohibiting us from using the campus mail, bulletin boards, from meeting during lunch hours, they can, at their pleasure, call employees to meetings during work hours. Yet in order for people to vote intelligently, they need to get information from both sides, to have that balance," Valentino said.

"By taking down our material, they are effectively suppressing information." Valentino said a hearing officer from the Buffalo office of the National Labor Relations Board would come to Ithaca next week to talk to the people involved.
