Health department accepts childhood lead-prevention and early-intervention funds; motions recorded and approved
Summary
The county accepted year-five funding of $533,000 for the childhood lead poisoning prevention program and a supplemental appropriation for the early intervention administration program within the five-year contract; committee members recorded ‘Aye’ votes for the presented items.
Gretchen Muradin, deputy commissioner of health, presented two grant items to the committee: a year-five award of $533,000 from the New York State Department of Health for the childhood lead poisoning primary-prevention program for 10/1/2025–9/30/2026, and a supplemental appropriation for year five of the early intervention administration program that references a previously accepted five-year contract.
Muradin said the childhood lead program funds two full-time staff (split with another grant), covers chargebacks for staff time and pays for program supplies. The committee recorded a motion, second and an audible affirmative response; the transcript captures committee members saying “Paul and David? Aye.”
Muradin also described the early intervention administration funds, which support a full-time coordinator, two part-time clerical staff and program supplies. Committee members moved and seconded that request; the transcript records an affirmative vote during the item’s consideration.
Both items were presented as grant-funded program appropriations and described as covering staff positions and supplies required to run the county’s childhood lead prevention and early intervention programs. The transcript records motions and affirmative responses; roll-call detail beyond what is quoted in the record is not provided.
