The Ways and Means Committee approved appropriating $77,500 that the New York State STOP-DWI Foundation awarded to the county Probation Department for a high-visibility enforcement campaign covering the remainder of 2025.
Committee members were told the STOP-DWI Foundation notified the county probation department of the increased award on July 15, 2025; the committee then moved to appropriate the funds. The motion passed by voice vote; the transcript does not show a roll-call tally.
The county described the funds as an increase in support for enforcement activity for the rest of the year. The meeting record does not provide additional detail on the planned enforcement activities or a breakdown of how the appropriation will be spent.
The committee carried the appropriation by voice vote and moved on to the next agenda item.
