The presenter explained the amendment is needed because Verizon must swap the area where it will build the tower due to wetlands that were identified after the project began; the presenter noted those wetlands had been identified earlier in the project but that the tower’s footprint must now shift to avoid them. The amendment would formalize the exhibit changes to the lease and the related easement for the affected portion of county-owned land adjacent to the public safety building.

Committee members were asked if they had questions; a motion to approve was made and seconded in the excerpted transcript. The transcript records the procedural motion but does not include a roll-call tally. The presenter said the change was limited to swapping the construction area and updating the lease exhibits; no other lease terms were discussed in the excerpt.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Saratoga County Public Safety 7/2/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Saratoga County presented a resolution to amend a land-lease agreement with Cellco Partnership (DBA Verizon Wireless) to move the build area and modify easement exhibits for a county-owned parcel in the town of Milton because of wetlands on the originally planned site.","taxTitle","Saratoga County, New York","taxId",7806,"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},6167750,"Committee approves five-year update to deputy sheriff school resource officer costs",40,182000,222000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5410152-c00a94c5c362a7787c8adb5a03161f2b&start=182&end=222","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5410152-c00a94c5c362a7787c8adb5a03161f2b/thumbnail_182000.jpg","/articles/6167750/Saratoga-County/New-York/Committee-approves-five-year-update-to-deputy-sheriff-school-resource-officer-costs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6167750-21148c1395826b7173f24b706e0ff78e/orig.mp4?Expires=1775087958&Signature=XhB0DJxoPpdSiGcBMMGvncIGDNPPOHhSWW8q3YgdaZWtza07ZOyOGA1Aws7IZX2EMEJbTwi2ipXC0OALfMhmhnzFo21WlJZcaLqxer0PoOqKDqcC4RXyPIx5fbsn4pAFZolU4~95D3PWtKSuKXQ--rK6hJjbHYIbHdFHHC7c1tmk8Q7fAXqpzSS2liGVEOrcKKkQk-q9nboNIRjwtjBOARXMJyRwj9se7okRzdoz3vsSDLfK~U5qZeCsTLml1zh5~iY0O4eSn9BPUpHhCT~zNG3Gui7vA~ychvD1r9sTbPpFO~7Jj~AyyBvnvb0QxVkkTzHM2ZJQ4KaSje2YzW9nrw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A county official presented a resolution asking the committee to authorize the chairman of the board to execute an agreement that updates the cost structure for deputy sheriffs serving as school resource officers in multiple Saratoga County school districts.

The presenter said the agreement covers a five-school-year cost schedule and listed the school districts named in the draft agreement, including Ballston Spa, Burnt Hills, Ballston Lake, Corinth, Galway, Mechanicville, Saratoga Springs, Stillwater, St. Mary's, Waterford and Halfmoon. The presenter said the per-deputy cost to the school districts will be $85,217.40 for the 2025–26 school year.

Committee members moved and seconded the resolution during the meeting; the transcript records that a motion and second were made but does not include a numeric roll-call tally. If authorized, the agreement would permit the chairman to execute the updated contracts with the listed districts and implement the stated per-deputy charge schedule.

Why it matters: the agreement defines how local school districts will fund deputy sheriff positions assigned as school resource officers (SROs), establishing the cost countywide over the next five years. The transcript excerpt does not include details on scope-of-work provisions, liability, or how per-deputy costs were calculated.","The committee moved to authorize the chairman to execute a new agreement setting updated cost structure over five school years for deputy sheriffs serving as school resource officers for several Saratoga County school districts; the per-deputy cost for 2025–26 was listed at $85,217.40.",{"_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},6167755,"Saratoga County committee accepts DCJS and state tax-fraud grants totaling about $133,556",140,28000,168000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5410152-c00a94c5c362a7787c8adb5a03161f2b&start=28&end=168","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5410152-c00a94c5c362a7787c8adb5a03161f2b/thumbnail_28000.jpg","/articles/6167755/Saratoga-County/New-York/Saratoga-County-committee-accepts-DCJS-and-state-tax-fraud-grants-totaling-about-133556","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6167755-e3b02d5ae5900c4dd2085d68b73ca595/orig.mp4?Expires=1775087958&Signature=Hg6rIpjessDdtvq8kYdcMSNIbUQczjPEhOeI81MmIqN97U~l8ASDnMG0TIMoO96EONKPWvCiRAe08OPVnEJMYLBBXVTLnn8oCIo4C0HFFIo~w3Jg56zlp0t0~Pwn0h9dVCwQ~UTnuOYPoKZCw0dJDj6ZrNLnGxEOsbWEdZO0iOaXoj8-kXxL5Z6ISVmaKo18cGKNaQW8U3ppoMKnbEG-ERga~Pu~7J3Wm61Ow26~usUVdinVkoyN-3UiGy1lG2-p13GjGWkmcFTxh4UhtiWeYbpfThjpYrrQ5VyXw0FtgHmI5AQv3ti9ajVO1heXQTu3kbjT6QsB~CVgBP4BAwfmyA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Secretary Hagen asked the Saratoga County Public Safety Committee on July 2 to accept a $118,900 grant from the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services and the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance to support prosecution of crimes against revenue.

The grant, Secretary Hagen said, “helps support work in my office, particularly as it relates to the prosecution of crimes involving nonpayment of taxes and commissions of things like Medicaid, and welfare fraud, unemployment, and workers' compensation fraud.” A county staff member then presented a pre-resolution memorandum seeking to add additional funds to an already accepted distribution (referred to in the meeting as “distribution 14 grama”) and to accept $14,656 from an aid-to-defense grant for the term April 1, 2025, through March 31, 2026.

Committee members moved and seconded the resolutions during the meeting; the transcript records motions and seconding but does not provide a roll-call vote tally. The staff member said the aid-to-defense funds would “go to offset a portion of the salary of our EPDs.” The resolutions as presented would authorize the county to accept and administer the grants and to apply the aid-to-defense funds for the stated payroll purpose.

Why it matters: the grants fund county prosecution and defense-related activities tied to revenue-fraud enforcement and legal defense support for the coming state fiscal year. The transcript does not specify which exact positions “EPDs” refers to beyond the staff’s statement, nor does it show a recorded vote tally in the minutes excerpt.

Background and details: Secretary Hagen requested a “yearly resolution to accept a grant in the amount of $118,900” from DCJS and the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance. The staff presenter described the additional distribution and the $14,656 aid-to-defense award and gave the term dates for the latter. No further implementation details (such as grant subaccounts or hiring changes) were included in the transcript excerpt.","The county public safety committee authorized resolutions to accept a $118,900 grant from the Division of Criminal Justice Services and the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance for prosecution of revenue-related crimes, plus additional DCJS funds and a $14,656 aid-to-defense grant for the 2025-26 term.","actionData","errors"]
