Cayuga County Clerk Appointment Plan Dropped

A proposed plan to temporarily appoint Kristine Lytle as acting Cayuga County Clerk has been withdrawn, following a mix-up in communication that left Lytle caught off guard.

The plan, initially proposed by Cayuga County Legislator Brian Muldrow, was first reported by The Citizen. However, Lytle, who is currently unopposed in the November election for the position of county clerk, was not consulted beforehand. Instead, she learned about the plan through the news article.

Lytle, who is a longtime DMV employee, has expressed that the timing of the proposed move is not feasible as she will be on vacation in early September. She has indicated her willingness to revisit the plan with county leaders at a later date.

It's important to note that the timeline for the proposed temporary appointment was not specified in the article. Furthermore, the article does not provide any new information about the communication between Muldrow, Lytle, and current acting clerk Shelley Patterson, or about the November election for county clerk.

The current acting county clerk is Shelley Patterson, and the article does not specify the current status of the plan to temporarily appoint Lytle as county clerk. If elected, Lytle will assume the role of county clerk in January, making the temporary move potentially unnecessary.
