Cayuga County Legislature set to discuss vacancies, change to governance

With vacancies at several top-level positions within county government, the Cayuga County Legislature Tuesday scheduled several meetings for next month to discuss long-term plans for some departments, including a proposal to change the basic structure of the Legislature.

Legislature Chair Tucker Whitman, R-Sterling, proposed eliminating the Legislature’s current committee structure — in which specific departments report to a certain committee — in favor of holding four full Legislature meetings each month.
