The Jefferson County Legislature approved a series of resolutions to accept and reappropriate grants for the sheriff’s office and public safety operations, including recognition of awards from the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) and amendments related to the FY 2024 Operation Stone Garden funding through the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services.
The Legislature passed resolutions to accept a gun‑involved violence elimination grant and a law‑enforcement technology program grant from DCJS and to reappropriate various unspent homeland security grants for the sheriff’s office, amending the 2025 county budget in each instance. The measures were adopted by roll‑call votes recorded in the transcript.
During debate on reappropriating unspent homeland security grant funds, Legislator Freeman registered a concern about language in a resolution that would restrict equipment purchases by a particular department. Freeman said while they broadly supported the resolution, they were "concerned" about specifying restrictions in the resolution's language and preferred preserving the department’s ability to purchase equipment absent demonstrated misuse.
The resolutions authorizing grant acceptance and budget amendments carried on roll‑call votes; the transcript lists multiple legislators answering "Aye." The meeting record does not include grant award dollar amounts or detailed equipment lists within the excerpt provided.
