2 LANSING YOUTH SERVICES JANICE JOHNSON The following report was available as a handout. Lansing Youth Commission; Est Supports Lansing Youth Services Youth Employment Programs September 2018 A lot of great programming went on this summer for youth in Lansing. 44 individual youth participated in programs throughout the summer. Here is one story to give you an example of what the programs were like. During Lake Life youth got to go on the Floating Classroom with youth from Dryden, Danby and the Town of Ithaca. On the tour, students got to take water samples, record data as a part of their ongoing data collection project, create mythical stories about the lake, examine microorganisms, assess the health of the lake, and observe a Bald Eagle. For some Lansing youth this was the first time they were on a boat on Cayuga Lake which they live so close to. Making connections with youth from other municipalities is always fun, they enjoyed games together and exchanged contact information, so they could stay in touch with each other. There were 10 youth employed at a variety of places in Lansing such as the Library, Recreation Dept., and RYS. LYS meetings start in September, they are the 3 rd Thursday of every month held at the middle school. You are welcome to attend any meeting; they begin at 7:00 PM. The County Administrator has approved a 2% increase in County Youth Service Funds, this still needs to be voted on in the County 2019 Budget. If approved this is a $358 increase for the Town of Lansing. TOMPKINS COUNTY REPRESENTATIVE MIKE SIGLER Reviewed the following with the Town Board and the report was available as a handout. Tompkins County Legislator Michael Sigler Hello and thank you for having me again. Thank you again to Marcia Lynch whose County report I draw from liberally for this update. Tompkins County Administrator Jason Molino has delivered to the County Legislature a 2019 Recommended County Budget and Capital Program. The budget proposes modest spending growth, stability in current programs, and the alignment of resources with priorities that include sustained investment in capital infrastructure, continued focus on reducing our jail population, addressing the shortage of affordable housing, and maintaining a diverse, well-trained, motivated workforce. The Recommended Budget supports total expenditures of $186.5 million (an increase of 2.57%) and local dollar spending of $89.9 million (an increase of 2.05%). The budget is balanced with a 1.43% increase in the County property tax levy, which is less than the Legislature s 2.2% levy goal, and well below the County s tax cap. Due to a substantial 4.3% increase in the County s tax base, which spreads the cost of government across a larger base, the budget contains a property tax rate that will go down again in 2019, to $6.39 per $1,000 a reduction of 2.76%. This is the fifth consecutive year that the tax rate has decreased, and is the lowest County tax rate since The 2019 Recommended Budget is posted on the County website at We awarded Streeter Associates, of Elmira, the construction contract for the first phase of the passenger terminal expansion at Ithaca Tompkins Regional Airport. Streeter submitted a bid of $7,638,000, determined to be the lowest acceptable bid of three submitted. The project will renovate and update airline offices, move screening equipment behind the counter area, improve the lobby area, and upgrade utilities. 2

3 The legislature also authorized the sale of 15 acres of Airport property, located on Warren Road, to the New York State Department of Transportation, as the first step toward relocating the NYSDOT regional highway maintenance, from its current location on Ithaca s Cayuga Inlet. Several Hillcrest Road residents expressed concern to the Legislature regarding how the facility could impact their properties, and maintained they had not been notified about the project. I voted against this sale as I d like to first see a plan from the DOT. These folks on Hillcrest believe this has moved very fast with little notification and I agree. I wanted to at least put it off for a bit so we can see what the DOT has in mind. The State says this is just the first step in the process, but it concerns me that they are not bound by town planning although they have in the past abided by town planning decisions in other communities. The vote for the sale was 9 to 4, with Legislators Champion, Black, myself, and Henry Granison voting no. The land will be sold for $840,000, with funds going to the Airport for use by that enterprise unit. Also concerning Lansing, we authorized spending $23,125 from the Community Housing Development Fund to support the Milton Meadows project. The County s contribution is combined with a $233,750 Community Housing Fund allocation from Cornell University to support the project. Tompkins County s share comes from repaid federal housing funds, initially received through the Community Development Block Grant program. We meet again tomorrow night where we ll vote on a study for sites for a co-location of the Sheriff s Office and the Ithaca Police Department. I m against this study. It s not the money as it s not a big expense. The only sites that will be studied though are in the City of Ithaca. To me that means, whatever they recommend will be a relocation of the Tompkins County Sheriff s Department to the City. That s a much bigger discussion and frankly a debate we have not had. I would be against such a move as I believe we get solid service now from the Sheriff s department and that they ve configured the force to cover Newfield, Ulysses and Danby, the other side of the lake and City. My concern that would have to be overcome for me to vote on this would be how to avoid this colocation becoming a merger and an answer as to why we wouldn t look at other sites outside the City that would serve the County better, but perhaps not the City. Thank you for your time.
