The commenter said the NYSDOH survey found the director of nursing was cited for conducting an improper investigation and that staff had not been trained to care for patients with psychiatric disorders other than dementia. The commenter also stated the survey alleged InfiniteCare shortened orientation training for new staff and that the director of nursing appeared unqualified for the role, language the commenter said was contained in the publicly released survey.

The chair interrupted the speaker to say the meeting was not the time to demean staff and directed that personal remarks about county employees or agency staff were not permitted. Another attendee responded that the commenter had been quoting a public NYSDOH document and that the information in the survey was publicly available.

No county official announced any enforcement action or county investigation during the comment period; the commenter identified the NYSDOH survey as the source of the allegations.","A public commenter read aloud findings from a New York State Department of Health survey alleging a March incident at an ACC facility; the chair reminded speakers not to demean staff while another attendee noted the survey is a public document.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6589834,"Legislature sets public hearing and amends draft local law on 12‑ and 13‑year‑old hunters to mirror state pilot sunset",819,2516000,3335000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5464335-4abc3485c1ea7f69394d61e45a9694b9&start=2516&end=3335","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5464335-4abc3485c1ea7f69394d61e45a9694b9/thumbnail_2516000.jpg","/articles/6589834/Sullivan-County/New-York/Legislature-sets-public-hearing-and-amends-draft-local-law-on-12-and-13yearold-hunters-to-mirror-state-pilot-sunset","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6589834-05a0cab2edf0eb2311be4b981de0985c/orig.mp4?Expires=1770521769&Signature=EvQIGZiR~Lk6mlDA0f1ciCVVu~nkaCLF63W4ju2mLWkDCKMGy8A9LxgJbB8fyvQy03bSwj62FlVuiCMp9LjHVDvaLHNmzIHG3kVcz0a1yBc1ChJDsOLWHouNbi5EXsRHzypGhSTi4bP9MgURag4~nutdcds6U5QROGm~y9amsVCDXDzIxFlTlmF512KnRkI26QeszeMh7sP-hWW2le7vdX9CAz6wQfnBF37IFjk1qOk8O7JRT38w6GouNGt737NodEamXm3rBxQWnOQRetWmmioaxoPZpDAqc0lvjBbVdWLlQovEmvMFYopvGdLQ6we7Jnl5~0fsPZvV9YUqa5LYKA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","SULLIVAN COUNTY — The Sullivan County Legislature voted to set a public hearing on a proposed local law concerning hunting by 12‑ and 13‑year‑olds and amended the draft to tie the local law’s expiration to the sunset of the state pilot program.

During discussion, legislators raised questions about whether home-rule authority could extend privileges to youth hunters if state law governs the subject. County legislative counsel Jen Nigro and other county attorneys advised that because the relevant state provision is a pilot program under the Environmental Conservation Law (ECL) and contains its own sunset provision, the county cannot adopt an indefinite local law that conflicts with state law. They recommended aligning the local law’s expiration with the ECL pilot’s sunset.

Legislator Bernardo proposed and the chamber later accepted an amendment deleting the earlier expiration date and replacing it with language that ties the local law’s expiration to the expiration of Section 11‑0935 of the New York State Environmental Conservation Law. The legislature approved the amendment and then voted to set a public hearing for the proposal; meeting materials and the public notice will reflect the amended language as presented by counsel.

County counsel explained the drafting choice is intended to keep local wording compatible with state law: if the state pilot is extended, the local law’s authorization would continue under the amended language; if the state program sunsets, the local law will expire consistent with state action. The legislature recorded no final local law adoption at the meeting; it only scheduled the public hearing and approved the amendment to the draft language.","After debate about Home Rule and state law, the Sullivan County Legislature voted to set a public hearing and accepted an amendment tying the local law’s expiration to the sunset of Section 11‑0935 of the New York Environmental Conservation Law.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6589839,"Human Rights director reports 38 complaints and a strategic plan to expand outreach",249,801000,1050000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5464335-4abc3485c1ea7f69394d61e45a9694b9&start=801&end=1050","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5464335-4abc3485c1ea7f69394d61e45a9694b9/thumbnail_801000.jpg","/articles/6589839/Sullivan-County/New-York/Human-Rights-director-reports-38-complaints-and-a-strategic-plan-to-expand-outreach","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6589839-77acb067310e836bdabfc253f1622db9/orig.mp4?Expires=1770521769&Signature=gnJARTRKAjATXd56tDbtUiEAms9lqYvUSb5mNwLFPjmNdrBKzDbHV8dJWD8ZNdCifORx97gIZ48bG9m94ARcvkKaPo5vl9q-xonh19CnxVOBEduI~mOBVy0CCpoubKQgOVU97RhvS8-nra8E6FAzG3yABI1NcKvcXjsVdBgileHcFpc0tg-p3ZtpBO6jruFbNKnkxAuUl5Xh43iy-iCuhqbdhHU3Qqlx6FcvMMOrt49DcDN-Z34SSw8MSBmC6ClUfMBBFuwVd6I~Z67m~Dt1cZoDuwh78ao0qWxG3zJxwLnE5WRR-y~rxbQmS82mXGk-6XMlR52-Oni9Ir9cGAfjvg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","SULLIVAN COUNTY — Ramon Wilson, director of the Sullivan County Human Rights office, delivered a quarterly report to the legislature outlining intake, emerging trends and a 12‑month strategic plan.

Wilson said the office has received about 38 complaints since his start date. He reported 14 complaints currently under review, 11 that have been resolved or closed, and eight that were referred to other agencies because of jurisdictional limits.

On trends, Wilson said housing-discrimination complaints were the most common category, followed by allegations of tenant mistreatment and emerging reports about bias and inequity in health care and public services. He said residents are often uncertain about what the county human rights office handles versus state agencies, and staff are preparing educational materials to clarify jurisdiction and processes.

Wilson announced a new online complaint form intended to streamline intake, including accessibility language, internal routing and tools for case tracking. He described a 12‑month plan that includes a fully digitized complaint-tracking system with alerts, expanded public education and outreach, a multilingual campaign targeting elders and underserved residents, and cross-department collaboration with public health, the county clerk and law enforcement.

He also said the commission has held two meetings and established an executive committee and that staff will produce a commission handbook, decision-making workflows and templates for resolutions.

Legislators thanked Wilson for the report and for work to increase the commission’s visibility and capacity.","Human Rights Director Ramon Wilson told the Sullivan County Legislature his office has received about 38 complaints since his start, with 14 under review, 11 closed, and eight referred to other agencies; he described a 12‑month strategic plan including a multilingual outreach campaign and a digitized complaint-tracking system.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":115,"_47":116,"_49":117,"_51":118,"_53":119,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":120,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":121,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6589844,"Sullivan County approves framework for two housing-trust fund programs after brief debate",248,1067000,1315000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5464335-4abc3485c1ea7f69394d61e45a9694b9&start=1067&end=1315","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5464335-4abc3485c1ea7f69394d61e45a9694b9/thumbnail_1067000.jpg","/articles/6589844/Sullivan-County/New-York/Sullivan-County-approves-framework-for-two-housing-trust-fund-programs-after-brief-debate","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6589844-907dd3df0b25eefa268002926154f30a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770521769&Signature=Ebs0pxB~awnbz8rKF0NjIgWGlRojBTwODkCbiSocXGf5jJ6OBZ4aRa-MOlGonhoJcbsKA7BPfyj~DeqQpsOskQrxIdGjW61INO5iTzCd1PQ9N0BFdmUBAiUI4~thDWzTN9cGLNfQV5T-wVtuJJjanlRK2qRK~JRGOF2mpVHW5-HwjJuaHPXeLrLcINwMdpXTferSSWw-qbwOxWUCa5fMvziwQA1um5kY9za8pHe1ZrKu6HrBeNYWUSFpZKnD4gcS6YHUSVR-qlcvIJmWwp1jEES7vMYtHfrUsVOaY3sqzkXzIRudms4KHyau40f~fqeHOAj0roMRr3qnp-XLwbWNuQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","SULLIVAN COUNTY — The Sullivan County Legislature voted to approve frameworks for two housing trust fund programs, adopting a motion to move forward with both a rental rehabilitation program and a new construction program using one-time budgeted funds.

The legislature approved the frameworks by voice vote, 7–2, with “Nick” and “Joe” recorded as opposed. Legislator Brown moved to approve both program frameworks; a second was recorded but not named in the meeting record.

The frameworks presented divide funding and eligibility by household income: rehabilitation grants would target families at or below 80% of median household income, while new-construction assistance would target families at or below 60% of median household income. Members used a working definition of “affordable” as housing that does not exceed 30% of a household’s gross annual income.

County staff and legislators emphasized the vote approved only the program frameworks, not a recurring funding source. County manager Josh told the chamber the county’s adopted 2025 budget set aside $2 million as a one-time funding source for a pilot of the programs. He said the programs as adopted are not structured as revolving-loan programs and that the county has not yet identified a recurring revenue source for future funding.

Legislators discussed next steps the frameworks will require, including creation of an advisory committee to vet applications and a decision later on whether to dedicate an ongoing revenue source or pilot the programs first. Legislator McPhillips expressed interest in serving on the review committee and noted that further details on application review and funding mechanisms remain to be worked out.

Opponents said they would have preferred more discussion before a vote. After the tally was announced, the chair noted the result as 7–2 with Nick and Joe opposed and closed that item.

The legislature did not adopt program regulations, application materials, or a permanent funding plan at the meeting; staff said those details will be developed if and when applications are accepted and as the advisory committee is formed.

Votes and formal motions related to this item are recorded in the county minutes.","Legislature voted 7–2 to adopt program frameworks for a one-time $2 million pilot to support rental rehabilitation for households at or below 80% of area median income and new rental construction targeting households at or below 60% of median income; details on recurring funding and advisory board to be determined.","actionData","errors"]
