County administrator says $233,000 remains to assign after capital plan; grants and workforce successes highlighted
Summary
County administration reported that approved 2025 capital projects can be funded and that roughly $233,000 remains available from the interfund transfer; officials also described grant applications to congressional offices, SUNY Geneseo leadership transition, local ag literacy outreach and a record‑attended job fair.
County administration told the Livingston County Board of Supervisors that the projects in the recently approved 2025 capital improvement plan can be funded and that approximately $233,000 remains available in the capital fund from an interfund transfer.
County Administrator David (last name not stated in the transcript) said the roughly $233,000 resulted from an interfund transfer included in the 2025 budget and could be applied to additional projects or added to the capital fund balance. “It appears that all the approved projects can be funded with approximately $233,000 left over from the interfund transfer account,” David told the board.
David also said applications are ready to be submitted for the 2026 congressionally directed spending program and that requests have been prepared for the offices of Senators Gillibrand and Schumer. The packet of requests summarized to the board includes capital equipment and projects and funding requests for the county center for nursing and rehabilitation (CNR), Office for the Aging, the Department of Health and the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office. David thanked grants coordinator Travis Clark and department leaders for support preparing those requests.
David reported several community updates: SUNY Geneseo is conducting a presidential transition after President Battles accepted a position with the SUNY system; Cornell Cooperative Extension held its annual ag literacy event where county staff read to four elementary school classes and distributed pumpkin seeds to students; and a community conversation in Sparta drew attention to the Light Up Live eastern broadband project. He also congratulated the workforce development department for a March 18 job fair that had 95 job seekers and 27 employers in attendance.
David concluded his report and offered to keep the board apprised of developments regarding grant applications and capital‑project funding.
