Votes at a glance: Livingston County supervisors approve contracts, appointments, grants and administrative items
The Livingston County Board of Supervisors approved a broad consent agenda that included contracts, appointments, grant applications and administrative measures during its meeting on Jan. 9, 2025. Most items were moved and approved by unanimous consent or voice vote under the meeting’s consent procedure.

Key actions recorded on the consent agenda included: appointment of multiple members to the Environmental Management Council and the county planning board; approval of Department of Health contracts with several municipalities and school districts; authorization for the county to sign contracts for the Livingston County Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation with MVP Health Plan, Inc., and related affiliates; multiple Department of Social Services contracts with local providers; donation of Dominion voting machines to the Ontario County Board of Elections; and authorization to submit a New York State Department of Transportation rural formula grant application for mobility management (the transcript references the grant application but does not include application details).

Other items the board adopted included increasing the county mileage reimbursement rate to $0.70 per mile effective Jan. 1, 2025; establishing a 2025 capital project account for a broadband municipal infrastructure project (the "Light Up Livingston" work was discussed by staff); establishing petty cash amounts for departments for 2025; authorizing purchase of seven new 2025 Chevrolet Tahoe police package vehicles for the sheriff’s office; and appointing Roger Eric Townshend as director of long‑term care and Christopher Craftsman as assistant director of nursing for the Livingston County Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation. Several routine administrative items and policy adoptions were also recorded, including adoption of the county Americans with Disabilities Act plan, Title VI plan, and a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise policy statement.

Most consent items were presented with the phrase "I move this resolution and ask for unanimous consent," and the transcript records each action as "adopted" or "authorized." The meeting record does not consistently provide full roll‑call tallies for each item; where a specific tally or roll‑call name list is not in the transcript, that detail is listed as not specified below.
