Ulster County’s Laws, Rules and Government Services Committee on Aug. 14 approved Resolution 3-74 to amend the 2025 county budget after the county won $68,000 from the New York State Education Department, State Archives Division, Local Government Records Management and Improvement Fund.

The grant will support archival processing initiatives by increasing two part‑time County Clerk employees to full‑time equivalents to perform archival processing. The resolution’s summary noted the funding source and the intended role for the positions.

Committee members had no substantive objections; the committee voted to adopt the resolution. The County Clerk was present during the discussion and was thanked by the committee chair for attending.

The resolution accepts the state grant and authorizes corresponding budget adjustments to add two full‑time archival processing technician positions in 2025. No implementation timeline or hiring dates were specified during the meeting.

Committee members indicated unanimous or near‑unanimous support and adopted the measure.
