An IT presenter, Lauren (IT staff), said the loss of ImageMate support was unexpected and will require replacing the property-image viewer used on the public real-property website. “The ImageMate piece that is used off the real property website ... is no longer gonna be supported,” Lauren said, adding that the county will need to evaluate new vendors and solutions.

Lauren outlined other planned and ongoing IT projects: an electronic medical-records RFP for Public Health, an HR system to manage employee records, and a countywide move toward electronic contracts and signatures that will begin with an internal pilot in the IT office. The presenter said the county intends to pilot an electronic-signature solution similar to DocuSign to streamline onboarding and document collection.

IT staff also reported forming a small internal AI review and work group to study protections for personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI) as county offices explore AI tools. Lauren said the county moderated and participated in an AI session at a recent NYSAC meeting and will take a slow roll approach because of privacy and security considerations.

IT staff noted a separate item on the committee agenda: a transportation department software upgrade slated for a future meeting that would automate scheduling, reminders and tracking now handled in spreadsheets and on paper. No formal IT procurements were approved at the March 13 meeting; the committee was briefed on needs and next steps.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Sullivan County - Management & Budget Committee on 2025-03-13 10:30 AM - Mar 13, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Sullivan County IT staff told the Management & Budget Committee a vendor will no longer support ImageMate, the county's property-image viewer, prompting the search for replacement vendors and unplanned expenditures.","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},6635577,"Sullivan County begins short-term rental registrations; treasurer reports sales-tax uptick",201,1409000,1610000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2631816-1bc4371668eef814cf2b44f76798f68f&start=1409&end=1610","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2631816-1bc4371668eef814cf2b44f76798f68f/thumbnail_1409000.jpg","/articles/6635577/Sullivan-County/New-York/Sullivan-County-begins-short-term-rental-registrations-treasurer-reports-sales-tax-uptick","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6635577-45b38ad265f78f2e21c18a3c3fe1bb33/orig.mp4?Expires=1774921353&Signature=f2LlbMmwL0QCQmLCKU64F9ma97KX~oCdFgeB8WXQ39lWlCxyAD6hIj-iI8HWrwW76K4n6zqGtMRBkp-tsEX1dHly-861lmjvcpZjCDmMmFqeXIs1z3Q7ZuawQ70c~lTba3GFRM0QfCYxJHFACSyESeEZaGew9xxfEHWLuOb8ezV~UFGwELwkKTHjUvPuKa1lrsU5PVErlQS72go414pVs3aQZbFyRkNG2Tgn37-itMihaQo95P6rmK8ZNoPoHXIV6HJGSEEjV6E1PpYZgSmnU69s87cKUl8E73F0tsE3IATe7BoTGr~DA9orLVSSBLqS42dU3-GAKLiY4NhVxCBvsg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Sullivan County Treasurer Nancy Buck told the Management & Budget Committee on March 13 that the county received a sales-tax remittance of $789,000, an increase of $47,000 from the prior reported receipt. Buck discussed short-term rental registration and outreach the county has begun as New York State moves to standardize sales-tax collection for short-term rentals.

Buck said the county hired a vendor, Deckard, to help identify short-term rentals; the vendor produced address lists that required follow-up because some entries were out of date or incorrect. “We sent out, like, 700 letters,” Buck said, and county staff fielded substantial correspondence as residents and property owners responded.

The treasurer said the county updated its registration form so new short-term-rental registrants must affirm compliance with the relevant state requirements; that affirmation will be required for new registrations only, not retroactively for older registrations. Buck said the county is discussing with Airbnb and other platforms about the timing of collections; some platforms have told counties they will begin collecting sales tax on March 15 instead of March 1. Buck noted the state bill that would change collection dates had not yet been signed, and staff are treating some operational questions as an “honor system” while awaiting final state action.

Committee members and staff said the county can request that the state provide short-term-rental sales-tax collections broken down by town to give local officials context. County staff said Deckard's data can be displayed by town and that the county already shares registered short-term-rental lists with towns for enforcement and follow-up.

Buck said county staff are working with the county attorney’s office and town officials on best practices and possible shared guidance, noting some towns already have local regulations and others do not. Staff proposed sharing registration data regularly — for example, quarterly — to help towns identify addresses in their jurisdiction.

No formal action on short-term-rental policy or enforcement was taken at the March 13 meeting; the discussion focused on registration, outreach and data-sharing procedures.","Treasurer Nancy Buck told the Management & Budget Committee the county received a $789,000 sales tax remittance (up $47,000) and staff described a new short-term-rental registration and outreach effort, including 700 letters and a requirement that new registrants affirm compliance with state law.",{"_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},6635582,"Sullivan County compliance office reports 50 complaints in 2024, outlines new hotline and training push",407,2412000,2819000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2631816-1bc4371668eef814cf2b44f76798f68f&start=2412&end=2819","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2631816-1bc4371668eef814cf2b44f76798f68f/thumbnail_2412000.jpg","/articles/6635582/Sullivan-County/New-York/Sullivan-County-compliance-office-reports-50-complaints-in-2024-outlines-new-hotline-and-training-push","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6635582-97ac37dcc948d6236a9a4e2ecae13cd7/orig.mp4?Expires=1774921353&Signature=cEL7ezk4ogi-iZT7jnH4VvXFal~iYOK2dbOtmEUa8I30wt7Veg59SxjiV7Yw3Jg1x6MAmaua-mw9KWn~KUNUO6dz0LQgDD17RCqAAo81IFsWZyF4wNrz0GTOmHSnkTFT6RT0pOBVdAibS61z-Da6~HOhQshYx7ViYRc~XL8~7Dkok2rL8FI5uO4xsC8ReiT5wTGM5iWb5b2MYzZ6XAef3frMBQRlBytwRn6~RrDl7HIaMHugZ7j7pqAy8i02bhwNMpVLB3LpYsPp3P7WOmkyGZijNQCYJdC6EEJ9zT~zU4y6jEKTVcxEM-9H8wES86s-RJ4lTfVfmLo32HyqGj231Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Sullivan County compliance staff delivered the county's 2024 corporate compliance summary to the Management & Budget Committee on March 13, saying the office received 50 reports last year, opened six compliance investigations and redirected 44 reports to other departments or outside agencies.

The presentation, given by Michelle (Compliance staff), said the county created a dedicated compliance and HIPAA phone line (845-807-0664), reestablished department-level compliance committees and updated several contract templates and policies. “We developed a compliance phone line so individuals can call the compliance department versus calling the county manager's office,” Michelle said during the committee meeting.

The nut of the report: officials said the county improved training and reporting visibility in 2024. Michelle said nearly 95% of county employees completed required compliance training in 2024, up from the prior year. The department also ran a compliance-and-ethics month with cross-department participation, selected a “compliance champion,” and held a staff meme contest to raise awareness.

Committee members and members of the public asked for more detail on the serious reports and outcomes. Michelle told the committee that the 50 total reports included matters routed to other offices (for example, town road complaints) and that the compliance program is preparing a 2025 work plan and additional policies to meet state and federal requirements.

Michelle credited Christine Panos, identified in the meeting as the compliance program coordinator, and thanked “Sharon” from the county attorney's office for help updating contract language. The compliance office said it has posted a Medicaid recipient letter, in English and Spanish, across required departments to explain reporting channels for suspected Medicaid fraud or abuse.

Public commenters praised the recognition program but pressed for clarity about the outcomes of investigations and the seriousness of some reports. One attendee said the compliance hotline and program are “serious stuff” and asked for clearer follow-up reporting on investigations.

Looking ahead, the compliance office told the committee it is gathering materials to finalize a Sullivan County 2025 comprehensive work plan that will outline priorities for strengthening compliance effectiveness and filling remaining policy gaps. The office plans additional quarterly committee work and said its goal for 2025 is to finish required policies so the program can move from catch-up to routine operation.","County compliance staff told the Management & Budget Committee on March 13 that the office received 50 complaints in 2024, opened six investigations and rerouted 44 reports to other offices; the department has launched a dedicated compliance/HIPAA phone line and expanded training and contract language.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6635564,"Management & Budget Committee approves block of resolutions 1–5 by voice vote",10,3564000,3574000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2631816-1bc4371668eef814cf2b44f76798f68f&start=3564&end=3574","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2631816-1bc4371668eef814cf2b44f76798f68f/thumbnail_3564000.jpg","/articles/6635564/Sullivan-County/New-York/Management-Budget-Committee-approves-block-of-resolutions-15-by-voice-vote","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6635564-91c51aeb6edafd8d3874f717fcecfa19/orig.mp4?Expires=1774921353&Signature=k1UmB5Mlp3TdEkZOnMZWLMtmQZxleM2jmBPse3Utqree6Ae5PGSk1lNhSJmGs6LJLVbNEn4HJR1qyFkkN2VpAdTZRumrqjDJiWjY-WPfFrat5-tcp48F~AzaQ6bNM9jw1Irb2377Plm3n-r7RtwSCSAsi8VjB17Dzlmt65Ol~gfD35ktub00K2dSVygbArhumi~NsszM-i44NX34cU6IV95kEHmBdG~GIpV0f9zF5QhmbzXeT3sw4Jv3QOcy238e6SBw8GvS3EKf~ln0axbXIlcu2sPxQoMrf3QnKd9xilIwEdFfnJ9LjT2J9Ob4C~vSjMnXq6-2pSP56AHBTzfNkQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sullivan County Management & Budget Committee approved resolutions 1 through 5 in a single block by voice vote during the March 13 meeting.

A county speaker, Chris (mapping staff), said there are about 60 tax parcels in the village area — not all parcels contain houses — and noted the possibility of larger parcels being subdivided. Chris described a subdivision under review before incorporation that proposed 27 lots, with plans for multilevel condominiums on those lots (potentially two units per parcel), which could increase housing units beyond the current parcel count.

Committee members asked about water and infrastructure; Chris noted an existing private water company that had taken ownership and undertaken upgrades, but he did not provide detailed confirmation of infrastructure capacity.

No formal action was taken on the mapping matter at the March 13 meeting; staff said further coordination with the state and affected towns is required to integrate the new school district code and finalize parcel records.","County mapping staff said the new village has been mapped and a school district code for 'Livingston Manor — Roscoe Central School District' was issued; staff noted roughly 60 tax parcels currently identified within the village boundaries and a preexisting subdivision review for 27 lots that may generate multilevel condominium units.","actionData","errors"]
