The Cayuga County Legislature will hold a special work session next week on the latest proposed settlement in the Cayuga Indian Nation of New York land claim.

The June 13 meeting will have three sections: one from 6 to 6:30 p.m. to outline the proposed agreement, another from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. for board members in the taxing jurisdictions to ask questions and a final from 7:40 to 9:10 p.m. for members of the public to make comments. The meeting will be held at the Pavilion at Emerson Park and there will be no parking fee.

Lawyers for the Cayugas and Cayuga and Seneca counties announced a tentative deal last month that would allow the tribe to build a casino in a New York state community that wanted it and to make up to 10,000 acres of land it owns exempt from property taxes, among other provisions. The tribe would share casino revenues with the two counties and drop its efforts to have its land put into federal trust, which would effectively make them sovereign.

The two counties, the state Legislature and the U.S. Congress would all need to sign off on the agreement.

The Cayuga County Legislature anticipates a vote on the measure at its June 26 meeting, which starts at 6 p.m. at Emerson Park.

At the June 13 session, Brian Laudadio, the attorney working on the issue for the counties, will give the presentation and handle questions.

During the public comment section of that meeting, speakers will be limited to five minutes. It's possible not all people will have a chance to speak, but the county Legislature will accept written comments, as well.
