The Ulster County Law Enforcement and Public Safety Committee voted June 4 to postpone a resolution that would have required magnetometers and airport‑style screening at the Ulster County Office Building during public access hours.
The resolution, introduced as "Resolution number 245, calling for enhanced security measures, including magnetometers and airport style screening at the Ulster County Office Building during all hours of public access," was moved for postponement and the motion carried on a voice vote.
Chair Hansett opened the agenda item and a committee member moved to postpone consideration. Following a brief voice roll call the committee voted in favor of postponement; no formal substitute action or amendment was proposed at the meeting. The transcript records only a voice vote with members saying "Aye" and the chair announcing the motion carried.
Committee members did not discuss specifics of implementation, cost estimates, staffing needs, vendor selection, or a schedule for reconsideration at the June 4 meeting. No staff presentation or budget detail was offered before the postponement vote.
The postponement leaves the resolution on the committee's docket; sponsors may bring it back at a future meeting or at the June 17 legislative session when the full Legislature considers resolutions. The transcript did not state when the item will next be scheduled or whether any technical reports or cost estimates would be prepared for a future vote.
