Top issues during term (17)(General)
2027 County Budget and 2027-2031 Capital Program
Sets the county's spending plan and five-year capital priorities; no minutes were provided, so the adopted figures are unknown.
Countywide Minimum Wage Study
Unknown; the study examines potential effects of raising the minimum wage for private and public employers countywide.
Continuation of virtual public meetings
No direct cost noted; it preserves access options for residents who can't attend in person.
Natural Infrastructure funding for three land conservation acquisitions
$94,425 from a fund whose balance would drop to about $285,000, with no replenishment in the last three budget years.
Tompkins County Animal Abuse Registry (Local Law No. d of 2026)
A proposed $100 registration fee was debated and dropped; the Sheriff will decide any fee, and the registry itself is expected to cost little given fewer than ten local convictions a year.
New Recycling Regulations Effective July 1
Not specified; a program vision and 2027 budget presentation was requested.
Code Blue shelter activation
The state significantly cut the Code Blue allocation for 2026/2027; the county is planning with reduced funds.
Center of Government Project
About $6 million remains of the originally reserved $9 million for the project; grant applications for exterior work and permeable pavement are underway.
Living wage and minimum wage study
Could change wages countywide and affect both workers' incomes and businesses' costs — no dollar figure yet.
Minimum Wage Study public engagement
The study will analyze predicted impacts of raising the county minimum wage above the upstate New York level.
Senior services funding boost
Fully state-funded — no new county dollars.
Living Wage Employer Status Review
Unknown; maintaining or expanding living wage compliance could affect county payroll costs.
cybersecurity grants
This grant funding covers critical tech upgrades without forcing local taxpayers to foot the bill.
severe weather response
Municipal and utility budgets will take a hit from emergency overtime repairs and potential infrastructure fixes.
homelessness report
Lower homelessness rates could mean fewer tax dollars needed for emergency shelters down the road.
homelessness data dispute
We might be wasting tax dollars on housing programs that are targeting the wrong numbers.
animal abuser registry
While a specific price tag hasn't been dropped yet, setting up and maintaining a new database will likely pull some funds from local government operations.
