Henderson told the committee the organization submitted a detailed FOIA request seeking records of any FBI investigation into the sheriff’s office covering roughly 2017 through 2024. \"When we submitted our FOIA request ... we gave them very specific information,\" Henderson said, and he listed materials the group provided, including names, screenshots of Facebook posts and alleged informant names. \"This is black and white. If an investigation exists, the agency legally cannot release the information,\" he said, reading from the statute.

The comment was presented as a carryover from an earlier public-safety committee meeting. Committee members and other attendees repeatedly cautioned against turning the session into a political forum and said the presentation was welcome only insofar as it stated facts about the FOIA findings rather than advancing partisan claims. One committee member asked who invited the presenter; Henderson said he was asked to present by Louie Alvarez.

Henderson said Sullivan's Legacy has not endorsed any candidates and framed the FOIA disclosure as part of the group's effort to validate public claims. He offered to leave copies of the FOIA request and the FBI response with the legislature staff. \"I was asked to come here to talk about it,\" Henderson said. \"If you have any questions, I'm more than happy to give you the FOIA request that we received.\"

Committee members accepted the materials and reiterated that public-comment time can include such submissions but warned speakers to avoid political advocacy during committee meetings. The committee did not take any formal action related to the FOIA material during the meeting.

Laura (Office for the Aging) told the committee that RSVP volunteers provided 1,075 hours in December, which the office estimated as $40,000.86 in service value for that month. She said the expanded In‑Home Services for the Elderly Program (ISEP) served 402 individuals in 2024; aides provided 10,483 hours of personal care at a cost of $335,464. \"If the same 42 individuals were to go to a nursing home ... it would cost just over $6,000,000 for the year,\" she said, noting the program helps seniors remain at home.

On transportation, Laura said the county submitted the federal 5311 application for rural transit funding to support Move Sullivan and one of the county's shopping buses. Two new one‑hour loops in Liberty and Monticello soft‑launched Jan. 21; route updates to existing routes A–D provided 29,898 paratransit rides and 3,310 other rides for a total of 33,208 rides in 2024, according to the report. Route E — serving Livingston Manor and Roscoe — is expected to begin once a vehicle is released by the Department of Transportation.

The office also noted the county submitted an RFP to update the comprehensive transportation plan and that staff plan a larger press conference once new routes and schedules are finalized. The Office for the Aging said nomination forms for the 2025 Older New Yorker program are due Feb. 28 and encouraged commissioners to submit names of local residents aged 60 and older.

A member moved to consider resolutions 1–3 together; the body then agreed to consider the items line by line after a request to split for amendment. During discussion of resolution 2, a commissioner said the Upper Delaware Scenic Byway — in addition to the Upper Delaware Council — should be listed because the byway oversees State Route 97 where the bicycle route is planned. A motion to amend resolution 2 to include the Upper Delaware Scenic Byway was seconded and approved by voice vote. The committee then approved resolution 2 as amended and subsequently approved resolution 1 and resolution 3 by voice vote. The meeting record shows the voice votes were recorded as \"Aye,\" with no recorded no or abstain votes in the transcript.

The transcript includes a brief remark from one member urging that modified resolutions be provided as redlined documents so members can readily see changes before voting. No specific redlined text was included in the meeting packet in the portion of the transcript reviewed.
