Summary
The Legislature approved two resolutions accepting New York State OCFS grant funds for the Child Advocacy Center and a Child Advocacy Center mobile unit; both resolutions had committee approval and passed by roll call.
On Aug. 13 the Allegheny County Legislature approved Resolution 31325 to accept New York State Office of Children and Family Services grant funds for the county Child Advocacy Center and Resolution 31425 to accept OCFS funds for a mobile unit serving the center. Both items were offered by the Human Services Committee and approved by roll call following a motion from Legislator Burdick and a second from Legislator Rickett Swails; the clerk recorded 14 ayes, 1 absent for the vote.
A brief floor remark during the discussion described the Child Advocacy Center service as "a truly great service and a necessary service" and noted it also provides services to some neighboring Cattaraugus County residents; the speaker was supportive but not identified in the record with a full name or title in the transcript excerpt. The transcript does not include award amounts, grant terms, or detailed implementation steps.
Because these resolutions authorize acceptance of grant funds, implementation, contract execution, and any associated procurement would follow standard county procedures and are not recorded in this meeting.
