TOMPKINS COUNTY REPRESENTATIVE – MIKE SIGLER
The following report was available as a handout.
Tompkins County Legislator
Michael Sigler
April 17, 2019
Hello. I’m sorry I can’t be with you tonight, but spring break is upon us at Lansing
Schools. In county news, we bought a new bit of land. That’s the small way of saying
we spent about $1.8 million. I think we’ve spent it wisely. The property is located at
408, and 412-414 North Tioga, where Doctor Baker the orthodontist used to practice.
The County has office space and parking needs which this would address. We can
consolidate some departments and maybe sell a property we have closer to the commons
for development. Selling Building C would help us recoup some if not most of the cost
of this land.
County Administrator Jason Molino has given us a feasibility study analysis, conducted
with the assistance of HOLT Architects. Its primary goal is to review the current and
future needs of individual departments and consolidate a number of County offices into a
single location to maximize efficiencies and remove or reduce lease payments.
Total project cost (with design to LEED Silver standards) is projected at $18.55 million
to $19.55 million, which includes new building development cost of $12.8 to 14.5
million, land acquisition cost, and cost of related renovation to other buildings. Project
April 17, 2019

financing would include sale of Sears Street land and the Annex C Building, the 2019
budget appropriation for the Old Jail renovation, and fund balance from the Capital Fund
and General Fund. Needed bonding of approximately $9 million would be supported by
the County’s annual capital contribution.
Administrator Molino concludes that the North Tioga/Sears Street parcels can easily
support a new building of sufficient size to meeting the County’s needs, that the project
has additional parking and/or residential development options, and that the County can
financially support the project as part of its capital plan.
The Legislature, by unanimous vote (Legislators Rich John and Leslyn McBean-
Clairborne were excused), requested that the Governor and State Legislature enact
legislation to amend New York State County Law to extend Tompkins County’s
authorization to increase the E-911 surcharge on telephone landlines up to an amount not
to exceed $1.00 per line per month. Revenue from the surcharge is directed to pay for
costs of maintaining and operating the County’s emergency communications system.
In other business, as part of the Municipal Housing Affordability Grant Program, the
Legislature authorized an award of $10,000 to the Town of Lansing to support traffic
studies required for the development of affordable housing in the Town’s Town Center
development area at Auburn Road and Woodsedge Drive. That’s in addition to the
$6,000 you’ve committed and additional in-kind services.
The Legislature awarded more than $220,000 in the Spring 2019 round of Tourism
Program and Community Celebrations Grants, as recommended by the Tompkins County
Strategic Tourism Planning Board and funded through County hotel Room Occupancy
Tax revenue.
- Tourism Project Grants – funding for efforts that draw visitors to Tompkins
County for overnight stays or accomplish critical actions listed in the “2020
Strategic Tourism Plan.”
o $137,500 was awarded for 21 applications
- Tourism Marketing & Advertising Grants – funding for marketing and
advertising campaigns that attract visitors from outside Tompkins County.
o $54,000 was awarded for 19 applications
- Community Celebrations Grants – funding for local events that convey our
unique culture and history.
o $28,838 was awarded for 22 applications
The Tourism Program will announce a fall round for Community Celebrations grants
later this year. All funding for the Tourism Project grant and Tourism Marketing &
Advertising grant has been allocated for 2019.
In 2017 tourism in Tompkins County supported 3,700 local jobs, generated $216 million
in visitor spending, and raised more than $16.2 million in local tax revenues.
In Lansing, a couple of awards: the Lansing Community Celebration in June was
awarded $2000 and the Opera “Cowpokes Come Alive,” August 1st to 4th by
Triphammer Arts Inc, was awarded $3000. I heartily endorse. Again, I want to thank
Marcia Lynch for her county reports which I draw from liberally.

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF CONCESSION LICENSE

PARK
The following Resolution was duly presented for consideration by the Town Board:
WHEREAS, Local Law #2 of 2007, the Parks and Recreation Local Law, sets forth many
rules and regulations for conduct in town-owned parks and recreational areas, among which

had previously granted a permit for the operation of a non-motorized concession for kayaks

authority delegated in such local law, the granting of a license to extend the concession for
multiple years perhaps does as a form of contract under Town Law § 64; and
WHEREAS, upon the drafting, review, and approval of such concession license and
agreement by the “Supervisor” and the Town’s Attorney, and upon the approval of the Park
Permit therefor by the “Supervisor” under the Parks and Recreation Local Law and the

Town Board of the Town of Lansing has hereby
RESOLVED, that the concession license and agreement, as presented, be and hereby is
approved and that the “Supervisor”, pursuant to said Local Law #2 of 2007 and the authority
hereby granted, may sign such concession license and agreement by, for, on behalf of, and

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING SALE OF TOWN CENTER PARCEL D TO HESSE

The plan is to have a restaurant and brewery on this parcel and to keep the trails which
can be modified or changed.
RESOLUTION 19-77
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING SALE OF TOWN CENTER
PARCEL D TO HESSE HOMES, LLC, SALT POINT BREWING
WHEREAS, in January of 2017 the Town Board revisited and reissued an RFP for Town Center
Development with an updated concept plan, all with the intent to augment development,
affordable housing, and other goals as set forth in such RFP and in the Town’s Comprehensive
Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Town Center Advisory Committee (the “Committee”) examines initial requests
and town center plans, and had formerly reviewed and approved a concept plan for Hesse Homes,
LLC (the “Buyer”) for the purchase of part of different town center parcel along SR 34 for the
development of the Salt Point Brewery and Brewpub (the “Project”), but the roadway and utility
extension costs were prohibitive and the plan never moved forward; and
WHEREAS, several events and discussions coincided such that, with Louise Bement Way being
under construction, and with Parcel D having direct access to utilities and SR 34B, a new
proposal was examined which offered $75,000 for Parcel D for the Project, and the same was
examined under the guidelines of the RFP and the Comprehensive Plan, and the Committee
determined that a locally-owned small business, providing employment and services to the public,
and augmenting services along the Town Center Trail, together with placing such land back upon
the tax rolls, all mitigated in favor of a recommendation and such was provided to the Town
Board in respect of this offer; and
April 17, 2019

WHEREAS, it was recognized that subsurface fill conditions and approximately 2 acres of
wetlands upon Parcel D supported a reduction in price from a straight -line price/broker
evaluation, particularly as it is anticipated that development costs of wetlands would be both
prohibitive and restricted by conditions imposed in site plan review for the Project, as well as to
assure continued preservation of trails and adjacent open spaces to promote the stated goals of the
town center plan; and
WHEREAS, a contract and relevant terms of sale have been developed and the Town has selected
Buyer as the developer for Parcel D and desires to sell the said parcel upon terms as set forth in
such contract, and said form of the purchase agreement has been presented to the Town Board at
this meeting and has been reviewed and, accordingly, after due deliberation thereupon, the Town
Board of the Town of Lansing has hereby
RESOLVED, that such contract of sale be and each is hereby approved in substantially the form
as presented and, subject to negotiation and approval of the final forms thereof by the Town
Supervisor, who shall insert a trail right of way preservation clause, undertaken upon the advice
and consent of the Town Attorney, and as so amended in their negotiated final form, the Town
Supervisor be and hereby is authorized to execute the same by, for, on behalf of, and in the name
of the Town of Lansing; and it is further
RESOLVED, that this resolution be and hereby is subject to permissive referendum as required
by Town Law § 64 and Town Law Article 7, and the Town Clerk is directed to publish a
compliant notice of permissive referendum within 10 days of the adoption hereof.
The question of the adoption of such proposed Resolution was duly motioned by Councilperson
