The committee approved resolution 4-18 (and a companion action accepting the next year's funds) to amend the 2025 Ulster County budget for youth services through the Youth Bureau. Deputy Executive Amenta explained the state allocates Youth Bureau funds based on local demographics and specified sub-allocations (for sports, shelters and other program categories). She described the process as multi-stage: the county advertises a public-participation process, selects plans, contracts with local organizations, reimburses them for expenditures and then seeks state reimbursement. "The funding process is very slow for this, from New York State," Amenta said.

Amenta said the first resolution increases the county budget for last year's programs to allow the county match (40% local match, 60% state) to be recorded and the next resolution simply accepts the next year's allocation. The motions were moved and seconded and approved by voice vote.
