Board accepts state election grants and amends 2025 budget for ballot-by-mail and general election funding
Summary
Resolutions authorized acceptance of New York State Board of Elections grants for the 2024 general election and ballot-by-mail program, amending the 2025 county budget to increase fund balance by specified amounts.
Saratoga County supervisors approved resolutions to accept two election-related grants from the New York State Board of Elections, amending the county's 2025 budget to record the awards.
The clerk read Resolution 192 accepting 2024 general election grant funding and Resolution 193 accepting ballot-by-mail grant program funds. The budget impact statements for those resolutions indicate the county will amend the 2025 budget and increase fund balance by $72,805.96 for the general election grant and $111,521.96 for the ballot-by-mail grant.
Both resolutions were approved as part of the group's consent motion to adopt the day's listed resolutions. A motion to approve all resolutions was moved and seconded; the roll-call vote returned 15 yes votes and the motion passed.
The transcript contains no further discussion of how the county plans to allocate the grant funds, any local matching requirements, or operational changes to ballot-handling procedures; those details were not provided during the meeting.
