The Cayuga County Legislature approved a bundle of routine resolutions and contract actions during its meeting. Members voted to approve the Nov. 13, 2025 minutes and moved forward on multiple annual or procedural items, including funding and procurement steps the county said are already reflected in next year’s budget.

Among the items approved, a resolution to retain $75,000 per year from SUNY rent as a capital chargeback for two years (a $150,000 county contribution expected to be matched by SUNY into a $300,000 deferred-maintenance project) passed after the SUNY representative explained the plan for HVAC and other repairs. "So we would keep that as our capital chargeback," said the presenter (Unidentified Speaker 12). Members voted in favor.

The body also set the county’s tax-warrant publication date and fixed the organization meeting for Jan. 2, 2026, and approved an extension of the household-hazardous-waste collection vendor contract under the vendor’s final one-year option, noting the county will put the service back out to RFP next year. A separate, annual reimbursement submission to DEC covering 50% of eligible expenses was recorded as routine business and approved.

Resolutions to create or move funds for Emerson Park maintenance also passed: members authorized a reserve transfer of $50,000 to account A18838 for pavilion repair and approved procurement for pavilion lighting and parks/fields equipment. Staff noted the reserve had limited funds and is used for significant repairs such as roof and door work.
