Clinton County Legislature approves appointments, grants and airport funding; schedules executive session
On Jan. 8, 2025, the Clinton County Legislature appointed Paul Dean Lamoy to a vacant legislative seat and approved a package of resolutions that included authorizing an escrow arrangement with the Town of Plattsburgh for CMIG Douglas Boulevard project funds, adjustments to airport capital appropriations for a passenger boarding bridge, and grant-funded appropriations for the District Attorney’s Child Advocacy Center and continuing mental health and addiction services.

The actions were taken during the legislature’s regular session in Clinton County. Most items were introduced on committee recommendation and approved by voice vote or roll call as noted in the record. Legislators also commended several long‑serving emergency medical service workers and voted to enter an executive session to discuss property sale, pending litigation and a witness matter.

Resolution 9 appointed Paul Dean Lamoy to fill a legislative vacancy. The motion to approve the appointment was made by Legislator Hall and seconded by Legislator Waldron; the appointment was carried.

Resolution 10 authorized the county to authorize a contract and transfer funds to allow the Town of Plattsburgh to hold escrow from the CMIG Douglas Boulevard project so the town can complete required post‑closing tasks. Motion and second were recorded; the resolution carried.

Resolution 12 authorized the deputy county treasurer to decrease an appropriation and corresponding revenue for the capital project titled “installation of passenger boarding bridge gate 2, Plattsburgh International.” Legislators approved the measure by motion and roll call as recorded in the transcript.

Resolution 13 authorized the deputy county treasurer to establish an appropriation and corresponding revenue for a New York State Office of Children and Family Services grant to the District Attorney’s Office for the Child Advocacy Center. Resolution 14 established appropriation and corresponding revenue for continuing 2025 mental health and addiction grants. Both measures were approved following motion and second.

Resolution 15 approved appointments to the Clinton County Soil and Water Conservation Board. Resolutions 16 through 19 commended Champlain Morris Emergency Medical Service personnel for multi‑decade service (individuals recognized for 30–40 years of service); each commendation passed by voice vote.

Staff asked the legislature to enter executive session; county staff member Miss Kelly said, “I would like to request an executive session to discuss 3 matters. The first being the sale of both property, the second being litigation, and the third being the witness.” The legislature approved the executive session motion and then returned to the regular meeting before adjourning.

The meeting record shows these were procedural, committee‑recommended actions rather than extended policy debates. Several committee reports indicated no meetings since the previous session. The legislature scheduled follow‑up where required by individual resolutions (for example, the airport capital project accounting and the OCFS grant administration).
