TOMPKINS COUNTY LEGISLATOR REPORT – MIKE SIGLER
The following report was reviewed by Mike Sigler.
Mike thanked the Highway Department for their hard work, plowing the roads, during all of the
snowstorms.

Tompkins County Legislator
Michael Sigler
February 17, 2021
Hello and thank you for having me in again.
Urgent Care off of Warren Road on Arrowood Drive closed Monday. This came as a surprise to
everyone and was only announced last Tuesday. I was just on a Zoom call I put together with
the hospital. I invited other County Legislators, Ed and the Groton Town Supervisor. If you
have an emergency, a kid with a bloody chin, trouble breathing, a deep cut, yes, we've gone there
for all of those, go to the Emergency Room at Cayuga Medical Center.
I had an email exchange with the head of Cayuga Medical Center, Marty Stallone, Friday night
and talked with him Saturday morning. He says the move is temporary but acknowledges it may
be some time before it reopens. He also understands this is a blow to the community living on
the east side of the lake. He says that the closure is due to a shortage of nurses at the Emergency
Room, not at urgent care and that the urgent care nurses were the most easily transferable.
The hospital says this is being driven by COVID-19 as nurses from the ER are being swept up to
cover both vaccination sites in New York State and out of state where cases surged. The money
to cover those areas and vaccinations are significantly more than what CMC can offer. The
number of patients at Urgent Care has dropped from about 80 cases a day to an average of 25 a
day according to the hospital, so the hospital believes this move will cause the least disruption,
but again the hospital acknowledges that for those who have come to rely on Urgent Care, it will
pose a significant change.
To mitigate problems, the hospital says it has a fast-track system at the ER, describing it as an
urgent care within the ER. They also anticipate primary care doctors, many of whom are on the
east side of the lake to welcome walk-in patients and that they will see and encourage an
expansion of telemedicine which has already seen an increase because of COVID-19.
A New York State pop-up COVID-19 vaccination clinic will be held at Beverly J. Martin
Elementary School in downtown Ithaca. This week, 300 doses will be administered at this
location, in addition to 1000 doses administered at the Cayuga Health mall site. Due to the
limited number of doses designated for this pop-up clinic, the Health Department is working
directly with Greater Ithaca Activities Center (GIAC) leadership to register eligible individuals
for the clinic. The online registration link will not be public. GIAC will distribute the registration
link and assist with registrations for the population they serve, including their older adult
program. Eligible individuals must have an appointment to attend the clinic. Governor Andrew
Cuomo authorized these pop-up sites as a component of the New York State vaccination efforts
to distribute the vaccine fairly and equitably.
I’ve been getting calls on a number of issues, so I’ll just run down them quickly. The schools
reopening. It’s weighing heavily on parents. The federal government seemed committed to
reopening school in March, but has backed off that and there was some buzz about them not
reopening in fall which has obviously angered some parents. That doesn’t seem to be the plan in
Lansing and it evolving. I brought it up at last night’s legislature meeting and Frank Kruppa said
he’ll be talking with the various school districts this week to see where they all are in their plans
to return to full five day a week in person instruction.
The Town Comprehensive Plan. Folks living up by the Dollar store are asking about the Town
Comprehensive Plan and wondering why this Dollar store is being allowed when it doesn’t fit in
the Comp Plan. They pointed out that the Comp Plan calls for much of the RA zones to be
changed to a new zone Ag. This change was approved by the Ag Committee with input from
Town Farmers, by the Planning Board and then by the Town Board in 2018, a majority of which
are still on the Board. This also fits in the questions I’m fielding about Utility Scale Solar. I just
don’t have an answer why much of the Town is RA when the Town Board voted to make it Ag
with the sign off by Board, Planning Board, Ag Committee, Town Farmers, Town Attorney and
Planner. Another building project, the Dandy is getting pushback, but for other reasons
primarily how the entrances/exits will function at the first or second busiest intersections in
Town. Both look like they’ll be within 200 feet of the three way stop light at the East Shore
February 17, 2021
5
Trail, Route 34B intersection. Will there be a traffic study by the State on this since they are both
state roads?
The Governor’s emergency powers. I’ll be moving to call on the NYS Legislature to reinstate its
powers in state government at our March 2nd meeting. The resolution reads:
Whereas the Covid-19 pandemic began more than a year ago with the first case appearing
in late January 2020 in the United States
Whereas New York State bore the brunt of significantly more lethal cases and number of
cases in the first few months of the pandemic in 2020 and we recognize that the Governor
needed emergency powers to act quickly in the face of the pandemic to respond to a quickly
changing landscape
Whereas while we understand the need for the Governor’s emergency powers, we also
recognize that placing this much power in the sole hands of the executive is an
extraordinary measure that should not be taken lightly
Whereas we recognize the state legislature serves as a co-equal branch of the government,
also representing the people of the state with its main role being to pass the laws of the
State for the Governor to sign and that it serves as a check to the executive branch and
provides oversight of the executive branch
Whereas we recognize the power of the state legislature has been diminished because of the
extraordinary powers of the Governor and that input from the public has been limited with
the Governor having the ability to forgo public hearings
Whereas we are now more than a year into the response to Covid-19 and we understand
that the state has moved into a “management” stage of the virus as opposed to an
“emergency response” phase in fighting the virus
Resolved we call for the emergency powers of the Governor to end and the powers of the
legislature to be restored, bringing New York State back to a more regular course of
business.
Supervisor Ed LaVigne clarified the Planning Board has been reviewing the Comprehensive Plan
for changes and asked C.J. Randall for additional information.

leave to which the employee is entitled at the date of departure at the employee’s then current
rate of pay. Generally, this number of vacation days or hours includes any existing carry-over
vacation days that remain unused during the calendar year of departure, plus any vacation
credited upon January 1 of the year of departure. To be eligible to receive this payment, the
departing employee must give written notice at least two weeks in advance of the date of
departure (being generally the last day of employment). “In good standing” generally means
that the employee is not experiencing a departure due to, or as a result of, disciplinary
reasons. In the event of departure due to the death of the employee, payment will be made
per the above policy to the employee’s designated beneficiary or estate, as applicable.
