Committee authorizes sheriff to apply for statewide interoperable-communications grant; approves jail cook hires
Summary
The committee approved a resolution allowing the sheriff to apply for a New York State interoperable communications grant and authorized three part-time cook positions funded by county dollars.
The Allegany County Ways and Means Committee on June 11 authorized the sheriff’s office to apply for a New York State Department of Homeland Security statewide interoperable communication targeted grant and approved three part-time cook positions in the sheriff’s office.
According to the meeting record, the grant program has $40,000,000 available statewide and a maximum award of $3,000,000 to any one county. The stated objective of the grant is to improve tower-site infrastructure related to national interoperability communication channels. The committee voted to authorize the application.
The committee also approved the sheriff’s request to fill three part-time cook positions at an hourly rate of $20.81. The meeting record shows those positions are funded 100% with county funds and already included in the sheriff’s budget.
Both requests were moved and carried by voice vote; the meeting excerpt does not include a roll-call tally.
