Legislature approves airport projects, contracts and budget adjustments in series of resolutions
Summary
At its Feb. 12 session the Clinton County Legislature passed multiple resolutions including solicitations for airport construction bids, contract amendments, grant authorizations and budget adjustments; most measures were approved on committee recommendation with routine roll-call or voice votes.
The Clinton County Legislature on Feb. 12 adopted a bundle of resolutions covering airport capital work, contract amendments and several budget and grant-related adjustments, acting primarily on committee recommendations.
A summary of key resolutions approved during the session: resolution 130 authorized the purchasing agent to solicit bids for reconstruction of the passenger boarding bridge at Gate 4, Plattsburgh International Airport; resolution 131 authorized bids for airport-wide access gate control and security upgrades (Glassburg International Airport); resolution 132 authorized bids for a de-icing pad and fluid collection system (Plattsburgh International); resolution 133 amended a lease agreement with Hart Aerospace LLC (Blacksburg International); resolution 135 authorized a contract with Oxford Airport Technical Services for jet-bridge repair (Plattsburgh International); resolution 136 authorized a contract with MRB Group for independent fee estimate services (Glassburg International), with committee discussion noting this as an FAA requirement for projects the FAA funds; and resolution 137 authorized a New York State Department of Transportation master contract for grant contract number K007630 (Plattsburgh International).
Other measures approved included lease amendments, contract amendments, and budget adjustments: resolution 140 established appropriation and corresponding revenue for a Child Advocacy Center grant (district attorney’s office); resolution 141 adjusted appropriation and revenue for dislocated worker and adult workforce activities; resolution 142 established revenue and appropriation lines for a Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) grant for employment and training; and resolution 143 increased appropriation and corresponding revenue for insurance reimbursement to the sheriff’s department. The meeting record shows the majority of these were acted on following committee recommendations.
Vote and procedure notes: Many resolutions were approved by voice vote after committee recommendation. Some items recorded a roll-call check of individual legislators (for example, for certain airport items the clerk asked named legislators during roll call and recorded “Yes” for those present). The transcript records motions and seconders for the listed resolutions (names given in the meeting record) and typically shows the chair calling “All in favor? Aye” followed by “Opposed?” and the motion carrying. Where the transcript does not record a full roll-call tally for a resolution, the article marks the vote tally as not specified.
Why it matters: The approved items mainly fund and authorize airport capital work and administrative adjustments that keep projects moving and maintain compliance with state and federal grant requirements. Several measures involved formalizing contracts or amendments that county staff said were routine or technical housekeeping.
