Onondaga County ended 1999 with about 66.3 million in reserves, up 18.9 million from 1998, the largest single-year surplus officials recall. County taxes on a 100000 home could drop from 919 to 387 if reserves were returned, but that plan is not favored. Budget chief Mareane warns it would hurt cash flow during a downturn and require borrowing. Legislator Ogiesby says the county is flush and supports tax relief, while Republicans caution on possible mandate costs. The surge is blamed on a booming local economy, unexpected revenue and low costs, especially in social services, including 5.7 million in unbudgeted state payments.
