Chemung County budget committee approves four resolutions by voice vote
Summary
At its June 2 budget meeting, the Chemung County Budget Committee approved four resolutions — transfers and appropriations, mortgage tax apportionment, an agreement with Corning Abstract and Closing Services, and community development disbursements — by voice vote after a brief reading of the items.
Chemung County’s budget committee approved four resolutions at its June 2 budget meeting, adopting transfers and appropriations requested by the county executive and authorizing agreements and disbursements that the committee listed on the agenda.
The committee chair read four resolutions into the record: a resolution authorizing transfers and appropriations by the county executive; a resolution authorizing apportionment of mortgage tax in various tax districts; a resolution authorizing an agreement with Corning Abstract and Closing Services on behalf of the Chemung County Treasurer; and a resolution approving certain applications for and disbursement of community development funds. After a motion was made and seconded by Palmer, the committee approved the items by voice vote. “All in favor, aye,” the chair said; when asked if anyone opposed, the chair said, “Motion carried.”
Why it matters: the measures move budget authority and approve contracting and community development disbursements that allow county departments and programs to spend allocated funds or finalize vendor arrangements. The recorded discussion on the floor was brief and procedural; no amendments or objections were recorded in the meeting transcript.
What passed (summary)
- Transfers and appropriations by the county executive: Motion to authorize transfers and appropriations as listed on the agenda; seconded by Palmer; approved by voice vote. Specific line-item amounts and accounts were not specified in the public remarks recorded in the transcript.
- Apportionment of mortgage tax: Motion to authorize apportionment of mortgage tax among various tax districts; seconded by Palmer; approved by voice vote. District-by-district apportionment details were not specified in the recorded remarks.

Votes and procedure
The motions were adopted by voice vote after a single set of motions and a second. No roll-call vote or individual tallies were recorded in the public transcript. The mover(s) were not named in the recorded excerpt; the second was given as Palmer. No member spoke in opposition during the recorded votes.
Background and next steps
The committee did not provide itemized figures, ordinance numbers or resolution IDs in the recorded remarks. Committee members asked for the county budget director to attend future meetings when transfer requests are on the agenda so staff can answer specific line-item questions.
Ending: The committee completed the items on the published agenda and moved on to other business.
