TOMPKINS COUNTY REPRESENTATIVE – MIKE SIGLER
Mike reviewed the following report and it was available as a handout.
Tompkins County Legislator Report
Mike Sigler
January 20, 2016
Hello and thank you for having me again. I wanted to start off with thanking everyone
involved in rescuing the miners trapped on the elevator taking them down into the mine
earlier this month. Our county’s emergency response team, the Lansing Fire Department,
the Sheriff’s department, Ithaca police Cargill, and local people making food and opening
up the All Saints church for the families all made the rescue go as smoothly as possible. I
was down at the Headquarters that was set up at the fire station at 6am and everything was
being handled professionally and everyone was working as a team.
On the legislature front, the Tompkins County Legislature reelected Legislator Michael
Lane (D) to a third year as Chair of the Legislature. Legislator Daniel Klein (D) was
elected Vice Chair. Committee assignments were also given out. I’ll again be on Budget
and Facilities and Infrastructure and Economic Development is merging with the Planning
and Energy committee and I’m also on that.
We also appointed Lance Salibury the Supervising Attorney of the County’s Assigned
Counsel Office. As Supervising Attorney, he succeeds the Wes McDermott, who passed
away last September.
He operates a law office in Tompkins County and has served on the County’s assigned
counsel panel, and serves as an adjunct professor of law at Cornell, where he designed and
teaches the criminal defense clinic class.
Last night the Legislature, by a vote of 11-3, called upon Congress to reject the Trans-
Pacific Partnership (TPP) Agreement. The measure calls upon the County’s federal elected
officials (Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand and Congressman Tom Reed) to
oppose the TPP, as well as any similar trade deals “if they fail to restructure the policies
that have failed the American public in the past.” Last April, the Legislature also opposed
fast-tracking of the TPP agreement. The measure notes that “U.S. trade deals for the past
25 years have been corporate-driven, incorporating rules that skew benefits to economic
elites resulting in working families bearing the brunt of such policies,” with powerful U.S.
and multinational global corporations in the formation of U.S. “free trade” agreements
“advanc(ing) an agenda that undermines human rights, environmental protection, the public
interest, and threatens democracy at all levels of government.”
I said that while I’m against TPP and was also against “Fast Track”, it is within the
President’s power to negotiate treaties and that Congress should not have given up its
constitutional duty to ratify that treaty through the fast track process. Congress now has to
vote down the deal by a super majority as opposed to approving of the deal through a
majority as is the case in most treaties. This is the same thing that happened with the Iran.
The question of whether we should be voting on complex federal matters at the county
level, we shouldn’t, is not lost on me either.
We also approved a new Local Law amending the County’s Home Occupancy Tax Law, to
change the law’s definition of the term “hotel.” No one spoke at a public hearing preceding
the vote. The amendment changes the hotel definition to refer to a “facility” rather than a
“building”, and removes the “phrase “regularly used and kept open as such”, updating the
law to respond to changes in the local lodging market since the room tax law was adopted
in 1989. The wording changes incorporates such lodging operations as “glamping”
(glamorous camping), and would also apply to cabins located in privately owned
campgrounds. It also clarifies provisions regarding collection and payment of room tax by
January 20, 2016
6
individuals renting out homes or rooms for short-term stays, such as through online lodging
platforms like AirBnB.
Earlier this month, the Legislature, by unanimous vote (Legislator Martha Robertson was
excused), approved the appropriation of $46,500 from the Contingent Fund to purchase
officer body cameras and related services by the Tompkins County Sheriff’s Office. Funds
will support program hardware and software costs, and related professional services, under
contract with Taser Corporation. The action also increases the Sheriff’s Office target
budget by $23,000 to reflect the ongoing future annual cost to support the body camera
system and support the cost of related service.
The County’s five-year Capital Program to add a renovation project for the Tompkins
County Public Library building, at an estimated total cost of $1.4 million was approved.
The project will consist of an estimated $1.1 million renovation to support Library reuse of
space vacated by the Finger Lakes Library System for Library purposes, including a new
teen center and 21st Century lab—that cost to be fully supported by funds raised by the
Tompkins County Public Library Foundation as part of its 21st Century Library Campaign.
And lastly, Tompkins County Legislature Chair Michael Lane and City of Ithaca Mayor
Svante Myrick joined with local government and business leaders officially launched the
Energize NY Finance program this month. It’s designed to help commercial and non-profit
building owners reduce their operating costs and increase the value of their buildings
through clean energy improvements. Energize NY provides building owners with critical
support, tools and low-cost, long-term financing for energy efficiency and renewable
energy projects that cut energy consumption, save money, and reduce greenhouse gas
emissions. Energize NY services are immediately available to help building owners in
Tompkins County to make improvements including improved lighting, insulation and air
sealing, heating and cooling systems, smart controls, energy storage and combined heat and
power, as well as renewable energy installations such as solar PV, wind, biomass and
geothermal. To be eligible for the program, facilities must be owned by a commercial or
non-profit entity.
For more information about the Energize NY Finance program in Tompkins County, visit
www.energizeny.org, or contact Energize NY directly at info@energizeny.org or (914)
302-7300. Local contacts for the program are Katie Borgella at Tompkins County Planning
and Nick Goldsmith at the City of Ithaca.
Again, I want to thank Marcia Lynch without whose work as information officer for the
county, this report would be much more difficult.

Town Board Meeting
RECREATION
Travel Basketball started this past weekend. We have teams for both boys and
girls in grades 4, 5 and 6. All of our teams have a full schedule of games that will
end at the end of February or early March. The league is made up of local teams
from Candor to Homer.
Our “Hot Stove” baseball and softball camps have started. This series is several
years old now and gives our young players the opportunity to start working on
skills and playing games inside at The Field.
Both of the Skating and Skiing programs have started and both with excellent
numbers. We have over 80 kids in the Skating Program after school on Tuesday
afternoons. We have a lot of chaperone help and really great kids, so it has been a
January 20, 2016

lot of fun. This is one of the largest groups to attend this program. It is very
social. Also, the Ski Club started last Wednesday and will take place the next 5
Wednesdays. This too has one of the best turn outs from our High School and
Middle School. The equipment pick-up truck is FULL and the bus really could not
take any more people. Greek Peak has made a lot of snow, and we should get all
of our trips in with no problem.
The newly restarted Youth Wrestling Program has started. We were hoping for
15-18 kids to register…. We have 40!
Cooking class CHOCOLATE! We are offering a one day class on February 6th in the
Community Center for students in grades 3 – 7. Stacie Kropp and Carolyn Shaw
will instruct this specialty class.
PARKS
Pavilion rentals started on Monday January 4th. As of 1/13 we have collected
$1325.00.
Camping reservations started on Monday January 11th. This year we had people
that were here in the parking lot on Tuesday night January 5th to start the waiting
process for the 11th!!!! The process on Monday 1/11 was very smooth, orderly
and quick. In 50 minutes we had collected around $23,000.00. As of January 13 th
we have collected $24,875.00 .
The Summer Concert Series in Myers Park currently has 4 of the 7 dates booked.
Additionally, we hope to have 3 dates again this summer in Ludlowville Park. We
are planning to have the Ice Cream Social with the Lansing Lion’s and the new
pavilion dedication on Friday July 29th.
We have started to gather information with regards to the replacement of the “A”
pavilion in Myers Park. Ultimately, the plan would be to take down “A” and
replace it with a much larger pavilion that would be partially enclosed with a
fireplace.

RESOLUTION 16-35
RESOLUTION APPROVING PUBLIC INTEREST ORDER AND
CONDITIONALLY APPROVING FORMATION OF DRAINAGE DISTRICT #9
FOR ASBURY HILL SUBDIVISION
WHEREAS, NYS Law and the Town’s Stormwater Local Law require the Town to plan for
the future maintenance of drainage, sediment control, and stormwater facilities; and
WHEREAS, Richard Thaler (the “Developer”) is proposing the dedication of stormwater lots
and easements to and for stormwater facilities for the Asbury Hill Subdivision, and the
development plan, subdivision plat, and project SWPPP have always envisioned that the
common facilities and stormwater operation, maintenance, reporting, and repair obligations
would be managed by a drainage district operated by the Town as an Article 12-A
improvement district, and the Final Plat Subdivision approval issued by the Planning Board
therefore requires district formation as a condition thereof; and
WHEREAS, a Map, Plan and Report (“MPR”) that complies Town Law §§ 209-c and 209-d
was prepared by the Developer’s Engineer and, it being in the public interest to form such
district, the Town desires to proceed towards establishment of Drainage District #9 pursuant
to the provisions of Town Law Article 12-A and finds that all proceedings to date have
been in compliance therewith; and
WHEREAS, the Town Board duly issued an Order under Town Law §209-d and
determined that (i) the final Map, Plan and Report complies with the requirements of Town
Law, and (ii) it is in the public interest and to the benefit of all parcels in the proposed
January 20, 2016
11
district to establish the Town of Lansing Drainage District #9, and (iii) all benefited parcels
are included, and no benefited parcels were excluded, from such district; and
WHEREAS, a Public Hearing was duly held upon January 20, 2016, at the Lansing Town
Hall, 29 Auburn Road, Lansing, New York, to consider district formation, the public
interest order, and the environmental review thereof, and all persons thereat were duly
heard; and
WHEREAS, it had been and was re-determined that: (1) the boundaries of the proposed
district are inclusive of all that land now and formally part of the Asbury Hill Subdivision,
consisting of the following tax map parcels, respectively: 40.-3-2.12 – comprised of Lots 1
through 26; P.O. 40-3-2.12 & 40.-3-2.2 – comprising Lot 27; and P.O. 40-3-2.12 & 41.-2-
46 – comprising Lot 28; said lands being further depicted in the Subdivision and
Stormwater maps, the descriptions for land records thereof as are on file at the Tompkins
County Clerk’s Office, and as further described by metes and bounds in Appendix A of the
MPR, each to be deemed incorporated herein; (2) the proposed improvements consist of
stormwater retention ponds, a series of vegetated swales and ditches to convey stormwater
to pond forebays, rip rap, a culvert, and other related stormwater facilities and drains, all of
which are set forth upon the Final Subdivision Plat (which Plat is expressly herein
incorporated herein, as now exists or as hereafter amended); that all costs of installation
have been and will be paid by the Developer; that the future maintenance responsibilities of
the Town (through Drainage District #9) include inspections, sediment and debris removal,
vegetation management, animal and nuisance management, erosion control, and structural
repairs; that the Developer will provide easements and rights-of-way to the Town and the
District for normal maintenance and emergency access, and title to the ponds and forebays
are proposed to be dedicated to the Town or District, as then applicable; and that further
responsibilities of the District include the need to periodically inspect on-site privately built
and maintained stormwater facilities (on individual residential lots), such as rain gardens
and bioretention treatment practices, and to require their preservation, maintenance, and
improvement, as required by law; (3) the estimated cost to the Town and the District for the
proposed improvements is $0.00, which is the maximum amount proposed to be expended
by the Town or the District; (4) there is no hook-up cost for or to the drainage district; (5)
there is no financing needed for this project; (6) the MPR is and has been on file for public
review and inspection at the Office of the Town Clerk; (7) a public hearing upon such
proposed district was scheduled and duly held upon January 20, 2016, at the Lansing Town
Hall, 29 Auburn Road, Lansing, New York; and (8) the MPR describes in detail how the
financing, hook-up costs, and other costs and expenses of the proposed drainage district
were estimated and computed, including the first year’s estimated average maintenance cost
of $129.47 per parcel; such costs are proposed to be collected through special benefit
assessments upon the annual Town and County tax bills; and
WHEREAS, the Town Board determined this action to be an Unlisted Action under
SEQRA, thus requiring the preparation of an EAF and an environmental review thereof,
and the Town Board duly considered the environmental impacts at and after such public
hearing, and considered impacts of the proposed district in light of the EAF, the Town’s
Comprehensive Plan, the Town’s Land Use Ordinance, the comments from any Involved or
Interested Agencies, if any, and comments from landowners and the public, if any, and after
due deliberation thereupon and an identification of any potential environmental impacts, the
Town Board duly made a Negative Declaration of environmental impact; and
WHEREAS, the Town desires to proceed towards establishment of Drainage District #9
pursuant to the provisions of Town Law Article 12-A and finds that all proceedings to date
have been in compliance therewith, and after due deliberation upon this matter, including the
terms of the public interest order and a review and analysis of each and all potential
environmental impacts, the Town Board of the Town of Lansing has determined as follows,
and be it therefore
RESOLVED, that being the sole involved agency the Town Board of the Town of Lansing
be and hereby is again declared to be the Lead Agency, and after consi deration of the above
and the impacts requiring review under 6 NYCRR Part 617, Section 617.7(c), and upon

duration of each potential impact; (iii) the irreversibility of each potential impact, including
January 20, 2016
12
considerations concerning permanently lost resources of value; (iv) whether each potential
impact can or will be controlled or mitigated by permitting or other processes; (v) the
regional consequence of the potential impacts; (vi) the potential for each impact to be or
become inconsistent with the Town’s Comprehensive Plan and local needs and goals; (vii)
whether any known objections to the project relate to any of the identified potential
impacts; and (viii) impacts based upon the scope, magnitude, setting, of the action or
approval, or the number of people affected by the action or approval, that the Town Board
of the Town of Lansing finds that the proposed action—approving the formation of
Drainage District #9—will have no moderate or significant negative environmental
consequences; and it is further
RESOLVED AND DETERMINED, that this declaration is made in accord with Article 8 of
the Environmental Conservation Law of the State of New York and the New York SEQRA
Act, and the Regulations promulgated thereunder, and accordingly, the Town Board of the
Town of Lansing, based upon (i) its thorough review of the EAF, and any and all other

including the purchase of the same from the budget balances, and the Highway Department
now wishes to use such funds and seeks verification from the Town Board that this budget
