Livingston County supervisors approve slate of resolutions including grants, contracts and budget amendments

The Livingston County Board of Supervisors approved a series of resolutions at a regular meeting, authorizing grant agreements, professional service contracts, budget amendments and transfers, and other administrative actions. Most measures were adopted by unanimous roll-call votes recorded as "Aye."

The approvals include: a resolution declaring surplus property for the sheriff's office; authorization for the chairman to sign an Environmental Protection Agency grant agreement for the county Planning Department; a contract with Montrose Environmental Solutions Inc.; an amendment related to retirement reporting (resolution referenced in the meeting as 2025 242); amendments to the 2025 county budget for the Department of Health and the Department of Social Services; transfers of funds for the Department of Health; an amendment to the 2024 Livingston County salary schedule for central services; and a professional services contract with Evergreen Solutions LLC to perform an employee compensation study. The board also approved the chairman’s appointment of Michael Dunn as a youth board designee.

Why it matters: the board actions authorize spending, contracts and administrative changes that affect multiple county departments, including Planning, Health, Social Services and central personnel functions. Several items will enable contract work (environmental services and an employee compensation study) and adjust payroll or budget lines for county operations.

Key outcomes (as recorded in the meeting): - Declaring surplus property, sheriff's office — Adopted (roll call recorded as "Aye," meeting tally reported as 37 yes; 13 absent). - Authorization for the chairman to sign a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency grant for the Planning Department — Adopted (roll call recorded as "Aye," 37 yes; 13 absent). - Contract with Montrose Environmental Solutions Inc. for the Planning Department — Adopted (roll call recorded as "Aye," 37 yes; 13 absent). - Amendment to retirement reporting referenced in meeting as resolution 2025 242 — Adopted (roll call recorded as "Aye," 37 yes; 13 absent). - Amending the 2025 budget for the Department of Health and Department of Social Services — Adopted (roll call recorded as "Aye," 37 yes; 13 absent). - Transfer of funds for the Department of Health — Adopted (roll call recorded as "Aye," 37 yes; 13 absent). - Amending a portion of resolution number 2024393 (salary schedule for central services) — Adopted (roll call recorded as "Aye," 37 yes; 13 absent). - Authorizing a professional services contract with Evergreen Solutions LLC (employee compensation study) — Adopted (roll call recorded as "Aye," 37 yes; 13 absent). - Chairman’s appointment to the Livingston County youth board: Michael Dunn named as youth designee — Announced and recorded in meeting (appointment referenced; the meeting transcript records the appointment but does not show a roll-call separate from the consent actions).

Discussion and process: Most items were moved and approved by unanimous consent or by roll call with no substantive discussion recorded in the transcript excerpt. Where discussion was sought, none was recorded; the clerk performed roll-call votes for each item. Several resolution items were introduced by name (for example, a resolution authorizing the chairman to sign an EPA grant agreement for the Planning Department and a contract with Montrose Environmental Solutions Inc.), and motions to adopt were followed by roll-call votes that the clerk recorded as "Aye."

What the meeting record does not specify: the transcript provides the titles or brief descriptions of the resolutions and the contracting parties but does not include complete contract values, detailed scope-of-work descriptions, start or end dates for contracts, or specific line-item budget amounts for the budget amendments. Those details were not provided in the recorded excerpt.
