Sullivan County Legislature approves multiple resolutions, adopts community college budget

The Sullivan County Legislature approved multiple resolutions in grouped blocks and took several roll call votes during its meeting.

Resolutions 1 through 10 were moved and adopted in a single block (reported as "9 zip"). Resolution 11, which authorizes final approval of the county’s draft local solid waste management plan — required for final approval by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation — passed with a recorded outcome of seven in favor and one opposed. A legislator who opposed said they "couldn't get behind the waste of energy." The meeting record notes one legislator absent for that vote.

Resolutions 12 through 15 were adopted together. Resolution 16, described as enactment of a proposed local law to amend earlier local laws, passed on roll call with the meeting record indicating it "carried 8 zip." The Legislature moved additional blocks of resolutions (17–20 and 23–37) that were also reported adopted.

The Legislature adopted the 2025–26 Sullivan County Community College budget on a roll call; meeting speakers noted the college president had not provided a line‑item format but the budget was approved in the roll call recorded at the meeting.

During the meeting legislators discussed the petition letter from the group We Are 1 Sullivan seeking support for three state legislative initiatives; some legislators supported forwarding the letter to state leaders while others said the Legislature should not involve itself in state policy matters. No formal resolution to send the letter was recorded as adopted in the meeting minutes provided.

The meeting adjourned at 11:40 a.m.
