Fauci said he was upset with decision to borrow money to finance the move, but his resignation was prompted by the programming cuts. He served as the station's lawyer in approving the contract with Picciano.

WSKG expected to pick up its equipment and move it for the original $200,000 estimate. Zeigler said that estimate was unre-, alistic. It is gding to cost $300,000 just to move microwave relays to ensure the station can receive a network signal and broadcast signals to local viewers. He said the cost of the move to the old school at 1168 Conklin Road is: $500,000 for building renovation. $300,000 to move the microwave and related systems.

$200,000 for internal wiring. $200,000 for equipment. $100,000 for moving, utility and reflated expenses. Regarding the contract with Picciano, Ziegler said the architect drew up a very detailed list of specifications and then began negotiating the best deal. Picciano's original estimate was $650,000, Fauci said.

But the station was able to negotiate Picciano down to a $505,000 contract, said Zeigler, Fauci and Herbert R. Levine, the chairman of the board of directors. By STEVE SPERO A $505,000 contract to renovate WSKG-TV's new studios was given without formal public bid to a firm owned by a member of the station's board of directors. Louis N. Picciano Son was given the $505,000 contract after a lengthy period of negotiation with the public broadcasting station's architects.

The architects, Cummings and' Pash of Binghamton, assured the station of the best price, station President and General Manager Michael J. Zeigler said. Zeigler said the architect talked with several other contractors before recommending Picciano. Neither the architect nor Picciano could be reached for comment. Zeigler last week announced $200,000 in cuts in local programming caused by the escalating costs of the move from the old Hooper School in Endwell to the former Francis P.

Donnelly School in Conklin. The cost was originally projected at $200,000. It is now projected at $1.3 million. The decision to hire Picciano Was made after the original $200,000 estimate, and his work is on budget," Zeigler said. Long-time WSKG board member Sal-vatore A.

Fauci, an Endicott lawyer, resigned in protest after Zeigler and the board decided to eliminate four or five full-time jobs, cut back local news, end radio broadcasts between 1 a.m. Raymond awards grant NORWICH The Raymond Foundation of Greene has awarded a $2,500 grant to the Chenango Plan-, ning and Development Board for historic preservation work in the county. John Riley, foundation executive secretary, notified the board that the money will be granted to complete the necessary documentation for the application to list historic districts in the villages of Greene, Bainbridge and New Berlin on the National Register of Historic Places. The county's historic preservation research team will work in cooperation with the villages as will staffers from the state Historic Preservation Office in Albany. Chenango County has agreed to use an additional $1,000 grant from the state Parks and Recreation Commission for the work.

The grants will permit the research team to concentrate on completing applications for the three villages and to proceed with the early stages of documentation for several other communities. The Village of Sherburne and the hamlets of McDonough and South Otselic have been singled out as having potential historic district sites. James W. Hanson planning and development board director, said that listing on the National Register of Historic Places can serve as the catalyst for the rehabilitation of deteriorating downtown areas and the preservation of historic buildings.

Ingham, yesterday accepted a plea to a reduced charge from the New Berlin man accused of raping her. Arthur Douglas, 29, was allowed to plead guilty to first-degree sexual abuse, a felony, in Otsego County Court. He was indicted by a county grand jury last September on charges of first-degree and second-degree rape.

The incident occurred on Aug. 13, 1981. Ingham told County Court Judge Joseph A. Moga-vero Jr. the plea was taken "principally for the reason that victim is of tender years she is suffering mental trauma from the incident Mogavero said he would also accept the plea without argument.

Holocaust still haunts world By STEVE SPERO There should be three professional running Broome County under the county executive, a group of businessmen reconv -mended today. About 28 separate department heads now report the county executive, and the businessmen's recom- mendations would reduce that to seven, according to a report by the Commission for Government Study. The commission was appointed by Broome County Executive Carl S. Young and the Broome County Legislature to recommend ways to make the gov-Lerntnent jnore efficient. The group was to present itsl ''report to the legislature today.

The new administrators were not called deputy executives to underscore the businessmen's conten-; tion that they should be professionals, not people ap-'; pointed for political loyalty, said commission Chair-? man Lloyd L. Kelly. The administrator would be ap- pointed by the county executive and confirmed by the legislature. Each administrator should be paid between $30,000 and $40,000 a year, Kelly said this morning in a meeting with the editorial board of The Evening Press. Kelly, a former president of New York State Electric Gas and commission members Robert M.

Best and Craig Lundberg said the new organiza-; tion would save the county money in the long run, al- though they were not able to be specific. Best is chairman and chief executive officer of Se-' curity Mutual Life Insurance Co. of New York and Lundberg is the dean of the school of management at the State Universty of New York at Binghamton. The admistrative services administrator would oversee the departments of Central Services, Computer Services, Finance, Purchasing, Real Property Tax Services and Risk Management. A human services administrator would oversee the Comprehensive Employment and Training Ad-ministration, the Health Department, the the Office for the Aging, the departments of mentaK health, probation, social services, youth and thel; public defender.

A physical services administrator would oversee' the Arena, aviation, civil defense, the fire coordina- tor, fleet maintenance, parks, transit and public works. The head of budget, law, personnel and planning also would report directly to the county executive. "County government, for everything I can see, is going to continue to grow," Best said. The new management will allow that growth to happen efficiently. Commission members said there may be some opposition from those who see a proposal to enhance Young's political base and those who say 'the recommendations smack of empire building.

"if this implemented, it will do away with staff building and empire building," Kelly said. By LORRAINE VENTURA Salary increases for five bargaining units in Johnson City are expected to be approved by the village board at a meeting tonight. All five police, firefighters, management, foremen and clerical workers agreed to a 10 percent pay increase for the 1982-83 fiscal year that begins June 1. The two-year contract includes an 8 percent pay increase for all five groups for the 1983-84 fiscal Democratic Mayor Robert P. Egan said, the wage increases will cost the village about $200,000 in the coming year, an amount included in the budget the board approved April 7.

i He said he expects the board to approve the contracts tonight. The contracts were negotiated by Egan and village attorney William K. Maney with the five negotiating teams during the past three months. "I thought (negotiations) went rather smoothly, were low key," Egan said. Fire Chief Bert Wright said: "I think both sides are becoming a little more professional and adept at negotiating and it makes for a far better working relationship." The beginning annual salary for firefighters will rise from the current $10,500.

Their clothing allow-' ance will increase from $100 to $200 for the coming year and to $250 in the 1983-84 fiscal year. The salary for police recruits will increase from the current $13,302. It takes three years for a recruit to reach patrolman status, Police Chief George Korutz said. The salary for patrolmen currently is $15,009. Holidays for police will increase from 10 to 12 days each year.

All other village employees receive 12 paid holidays a year, Egan said. In addition to the 10 percent raise, police sergeants and lieutenants will receive a $200 in-' crease in salaries the coming year and a $100 increase the following year. Egan said the increases will compensate police for assuming the duties of a central communication system the village started this year. The system allows police to speak directly with fire, public works and water department personnel. The contract for those in the management group, which includes the village's various department heads, will allow employees to carry over as many as 10 vacation days into the next fiscal year: "This is an executive group that puts in a lot of overtime for no pay so I think it's a small Egan said.

Managers who have worked in the village for at least 10 years will receive an additional week of vacation, bringing their total vacation to four weeks. Both management employees and foremen have varying starting salaries, depending an their position, Egan said. The starting salary for clerical workers now is $7,095. nis ma ior re-eiecuon 10 anowier iive-year lerm. vui- ing will be May 19.

Animal officer is a volunteer WAVERLY Concern for animals makes Gary L. Reeves of Waverly volunteer his time serving as Tioga County's first humane officer. "It is extra time. I just like working with animals. There is a lot of cruelty," Reeves said.

As humane officer, Reeves works through the I Stray Haven Animal Shelter, Waverly investigating complaints of cruelty.

"It is important to keep remembering something like that happened.

I'm very worried, after living through one war," he said. Goldenberg spoke about the suffering he endured in the concentration camps. "People were dying left and right. But hoping for survival gave you a better chance. "Beating people with whips was an everyday occurrence.

They did it as a scare tactic," he said. "The last few weeks, we were going on hope alone," he said. Goldenberg said that the first sign of caring for those in concentration camps was when "I saw the five American boys who came to liberate us sitting and crying." By JON HEYMAN -A Jewish survivor of six Nazi World War II concentration camps, told an audience last night, "It is up to you people to think about the Holocaust so it shouldn't happen again." Dr. Edmund Goldenberg of 77 Grand Binghamton, whose parents were killed in the Holocaust, spoke to about 250 people in Lecture Hall 2 at the State University of New York at Binghamton, after about 100 people carried candles in a march from Newing Dining Hall. "It is a day to set aside to learn about what happened," said Rick Goldman, president of the Jewish Union at SUNY-Binghamton.

Goldenberg, a family practitioner, spoke after a short memorial service for those who perished in the war. dogs, a humane officer deals with all types of domestic animals, Reeves said. Reeves estimates he receives between three and four animal cruelty complaints per month. Tomorrow Who gets what when federal dollars dry up? That is a question for the Broome County Legislature.

Hawk estimated the first phase of the work will cost the city $64,500 for 10-inch water pipes and $70,000 for a new pumping station to push the water up the hill. The second phase, which Hawk estimated would be built about 1991, will cost $451,000, including $406,000 for a reser- voir.

The most expensive phase of the construction would come in 2001, when Hawk estimated the need for a second pumping station, at a cost of $303,000, more pipe, costing $336,000, and another reservoir, costing $876,500, for a total cost of $1.5 million. If the project is completed in 2011, Hawk estimated final phase costs of $1 million. By STEVE GEIMANN Binghamton City Council took the first step last night on what could become a $3.1 million expense in the next 20 years for city taxpayers helping a private developer. The council, meeting in regular session, unanimously approved plans to spend $165,000 to extend water and sewer lines to the 259-unit Bingham Park housing project on the city's East Side. 1 If the project is completed, the cost to taxpayers for water and sewer lines could exceed $11 ,900 for each residence in the project.

"We have a serious problem existing," said Councilman William J. McGowan, D-8th District, sponsor of the ordinance. "We have city residents with very little water pressure." Even if Bingham Park is not built, improve ments must be made on the water system, McGowan said. Bingham Park is a project conceived by Bernard Shwidock, president of Urban Plan-' ning and Development of Teaneck, N.J..-Shwidock plans to build up to 260 pre-f abricat-ed one-family houses on the site overlooking the Binghamton Psychiatric Center.
