BATH - Corning Community College President Katherine Douglas gave her final annual update on college activities to the Steuben County Legislature Monday. The sixth CCC president, Douglas will retire in June after eight years at the college’s helm. In addition to receiving the Corning report, legislators approved adding the Automated Secure Alarm Protocol or ASAP for the county 911 Center. ASAP will send information from automated alarms, such as ADT and Doyle, directly to the appropriate emergency responder. The county now fields calls from the automated alarm companies and then dispatches the calls. The new $15,665 system will reduce significantly the number of calls the center handles annually, according to county 911 Deputy Director Tina Goodwin.
