REVIEW & DISCUSS PROPOSED REIMAGINING PUBLIC SAFETY REFORMS FROM TOMPKINS COUNTY
Tompkins County must submit their plan to NYS by April 1. Ms. Zahler suggested that the board
consider holding a public forum on the issue and making a public comment. Mr. Boggs suggested
getting feedback from town residents.
Ms. Koreman noted that the plan was developed by a consultant, the county administrator, and staff.
The legislature has a very short timeframe in which to consider and vote on it, and it will likely take
years to implement.
Ms. Olson said that changes in Ithaca City policing will have an effect on the sheriff’s department who
provides enforcement for the town.
