A lead from the county opioid effort reported the county was awarded a crisis intervention team (CIT) grant that includes state technical assistance and training support for officers. Committee members were also told the state approved approximately $6,000 to enhance mobile crisis teams serving adults, youth and people with substance-use disorder; meeting presenters said the funds must be put to use quickly to stand up services and training.

Presenters said the county has joined a regional vaping task force and will present community mapping data at the next meeting; treatment providers are coordinating with workforce development to help people in treatment re-enter employment. Oxford House has submitted or is preparing a request for proposals for opioid abatement funds, which presenters said could bring additional local services if funded.

Work toward a community trauma response team is underway, with organizers hoping to launch pilot activities in 2025. Committee attendees were notified of upcoming pillar-lead meetings and invited to attend a meeting on the 14th in the same meeting room to hear more about ongoing initiatives.

Public-health and safety partners described a series of Narcan trainings across the county: training sessions were noted for Fallsburg High School teachers, newly hired staff at Resorts World, and multiple fire departments. Presenters also reported vending machines in Liberty and Monticello now include Narcan, tick-removal kits, hygiene kits (child and adult dental kits) and Deterra bags; county staff said they track which items are taken and will adjust contents over time.

One presenter said treatment providers are coordinating with the Center for Development workforce programs to link clients into employment once they reach a stable point in treatment. Committee members asked for more data at the next meeting, when community-mapping results and further details on RFPs and fund usage will be provided.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Sullivan County - Public Safety and Law Enforcement Committee on 2025-02-07 10:00 AM - Feb 07, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","County opioid and public-health leads reported a crisis-intervention team grant with state technical assistance, approximately $6,000 for mobile crisis teams, expanded Narcan trainings, participation in a vaping task force and plans for a community trauma response team in 2025.","taxTitle","Sullivan County, New York","taxId",14534,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6681906,"Residents urge Sullivan County lawmakers to revisit volunteer firefighter tax credit; legislators discuss state-level changes",368,882000,1250000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2247848-a2ac6cdb177bccc7c49cfbc2afc20bfa&start=882&end=1250","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2247848-a2ac6cdb177bccc7c49cfbc2afc20bfa/thumbnail_882000.jpg","/articles/6681906/Sullivan-County/New-York/Residents-urge-Sullivan-County-lawmakers-to-revisit-volunteer-firefighter-tax-credit-legislators-discuss-state-level-changes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6681906-1e34de1820293fe6e654725d2351b20a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770947454&Signature=GGDcgbGBcVBXQWmgLFZz03jdWzKXWF0fIM2-8jWDhEvavwfILjXANKeMEtEoQqkzgyWxYFwUZi43ohJUFcF9NwIRXifNFQAawzitgdnP9EZTDWcCmGHJ3vALkmR8HVWRUIj3trJWB3~QQ46mAWDum9SYV5LCP~omi9plnOkJuD5yoEBsd7w~hHp4MoNlcGFDCHUURvBNmhdXQpXBPVm-hQimmE54lbmD2TXsm7k117zkkMzdehGC1LN~xBGInusjRf3N2uxjOe-JvH9Nd-nBO~CphbiLuk-SWSX4gXmvM-p3e6rM-dAj29UsDyMz3I6CQ5t0yyjR5e1ic~1M61-x7w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Several residents urged the Sullivan County Legislature to reconsider measures to expand property-tax relief for volunteer firefighters and first responders, including county-level tax exemptions and changes to the state refundable tax credit.

Alexander Portugal, identifying himself as from Antisalo, asked the legislature to investigate creating a local property-tax credit for first responders; he described differences between the New York State refundable tax credit (currently $200) and the option for local taxing jurisdictions to grant a partial property-tax exemption (often described as a 10 percent local credit). He and other speakers said local taxes have risen, and that a larger credit could better reflect current property-tax bills.

A resident who identified only as Jaime, a volunteer firefighter for more than 12 years, urged legislators to revisit the exemption and noted many volunteers are young and do not own homes, which complicates eligibility for property-based credits.

Legislators responded that the county previously held public hearings on the exemption in 2022 or 2023 but did not adopt a countywide exemption at that time. A committee presenter explained that the New York State Association of Counties is encouraging changes to state law that would (1) allow recipients to receive both the state refundable credit and local exemption, and (2) increase the state refundable credit (a proposal mentioned at the meeting would raise the credit from $200 to a higher amount under discussion). Presenters noted current program limitations: the state refundable credit is more administratively accessible for individuals, whereas securing a local exemption requires passage by multiple local taxing jurisdictions to take effect for a given volunteer.

No formal resolution was introduced during the meeting; legislators said they would gather additional information at upcoming NYSAC meetings and follow up on eligibility questions and potential legislative language. One legislator asked residents to remain in contact and said the county will monitor state-level proposals that could change the structure or amount of the tax credit.","Public commenters asked Sullivan County legislators to pursue expanded tax relief for volunteer firefighters and first responders, citing limits of the current $200 New York State refundable tax credit and the complexity of local property-tax exemptions.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6681917,"Sullivan County committee approves MOU to accept flood-mitigation equipment from NY Division of Homeland Security",771,617000,1388000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2247848-a2ac6cdb177bccc7c49cfbc2afc20bfa&start=617&end=1388","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2247848-a2ac6cdb177bccc7c49cfbc2afc20bfa/thumbnail_617000.jpg","/articles/6681917/Sullivan-County/New-York/Sullivan-County-committee-approves-MOU-to-accept-flood-mitigation-equipment-from-NY-Division-of-Homeland-Security","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6681917-3a1b00a76c25ed896337388c7e3ed8c2/orig.mp4?Expires=1770947454&Signature=kI6TNR0zl5r~rIKn2GvTcELKwuHY7WPaQE9UVuUxAe76wYBxagEq1X8ezUb9EWefAecsV23NuX-gmS2dlVj2wxVQcaQEsrCGTk~oDSEkgi2TV~Y8gTYL-oPCXXo2VqmXyRDYj94hgJJ2ETpbgiSuV0PwZ2oCHdp-6MVAQKPxIJErPT2VlZ~87hUtVFiEzwGSpYzPrvlesGmeBMAL9IimNNLsBIqrqDvazYZlVrut9saZdv9boGowoLNQZubDXVAbq-UOP1YG~bBJfNPy6zpgpXO9rnQE3K2TkxTPtm9K4mJ7AL6rp4j~EilZTyvfeD8na5OhFn9mgeO1NgfDdqRs-A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sullivan County Public Safety Committee approved a resolution authorizing the county manager to enter into a memorandum of understanding with the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services to accept flood-mitigation equipment, including an amendment clarifying that trailers remain titled to New York State while the county will register them.

The amendment — described at the meeting as an addendum to the existing MOU — states that certain equipment will be delivered on trailers that the state retains title to, and that the county would complete registration of the trailers. Legislator Matt (mover) offered the amendment, Nick seconded it, and the committee approved the amendment and then the resolution as amended by voice vote.

Committee members asked that the addendum be distributed before the vote; a copy was emailed to committee staff during the meeting and distributed in paper form. Committee discussion focused on logistics and record-keeping rather than the substantive contents of the equipment package. A staff member noted that signed county contracts are available on the county website through the Office of Management and Budget for anyone who wants to review them.

The committee did not read a line-by-line inventory of the equipment during the meeting; an addendum describing the trailer-title arrangement was cited as the only change to the previously circulated resolution. No roll-call vote totals were recorded in the meeting minutes; the chair called for and received vocal “Aye” responses to both the amendment and the final resolution.

The resolution authorizes the county manager to accept equipment provided by the state via MOU and obligates the county to register the trailers while ownership remains with New York State. The committee gave no additional direction beyond approving the amended MOU and making paper copies of the amendment available to attendees.

For the public record, committee members reiterated that county contracts and executed agreements are posted online in the Office of Management and Budget section of the Sullivan County government website.","The Sullivan County Public Safety Committee approved a resolution authorizing the county manager to accept flood mitigation equipment from the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, with an amendment clarifying trailers will remain titled to New York State while the county will register them.","actionData","errors"]
