The Seneca County Board of Supervisors approved a batch of resolutions and appointments on Aug. 12, 2025, covering budget amendments, personnel actions, procurement and grant acceptances.
Notable actions recorded and carried during the meeting included amendments to the 2025 county budget; adoption of the 2026 workers’ compensation budget (listed in the transcript as a $2,600 decrease); authorization of an agreement with Time Clock Plus LLC; approval of an uninterruptible power supply replacement at the county office building; acceptance of construction bids and budget amendments for the Marshall Road project; pay-above-starting-rate authorizations for a correction officer and a confidential secretary; reclassification in the mental health department; and a suite of requests for proposals for services in the correctional facility.
The board appointed Melissa Taylor as deputy county manager and Tony DiGiovanni as interim director of emergency management. Melissa Taylor addressed the board after her appointment and thanked supervisors, noting she has worked in county service for 17 years and said she was “ready to get to work.”
Other items carried included approval to purchase replacement tasers and related equipment for the sheriff’s department, renewal of a contract with the Geneva Central School District for a school resource officer for the 2025–26 school year, acceptance of a grant related to supportive services for incarcerated individuals with a stated appended amount of $139,100, designation of Sept. 14–20, 2025 as Sheriff’s Week, purchase of hazmat equipment, authorization for willingness program proposals for sheriff’s department members, requests for proposals for food and medical doctor services at the county correctional facility, and awarding contracts for engineering and construction at Finger Lakes Regional Airport.
The board also approved a resolution extending the additional rate of sales and use taxes pursuant to Article 29 of the Tax Law of the State of New York and authorized acceptance of 2025 wastewater infrastructure engineering planning grants (EPG) for sewer Districts 1 and 2.
Most of these items passed with brief or no recorded discussion in the meeting transcript; where a specific dollar amount or a detail was not spoken during the meeting the transcript lists the item but does not supply further particulars.
Because many items were approved with limited discussion, the transcript does not include roll-call vote tallies by name for each motion; the clerk recorded motions as carried or approved.
