Chemung County Legislature approves packages of resolutions, awards contracts and creates new positions
Summary
The Chemung County Legislature combined and approved multiple resolutions covering grants, purchase agreements, bid awards, intermunicipal agreements, mortgage tax apportionment, and the creation of new county positions; roll-call votes recorded unanimous or near-unanimous support on the listed items.
The Chemung County Legislature (meeting date not specified) combined and approved several groups of resolutions and took roll-call votes to adopt them, awarding multiple contracts, authorizing intermunicipal agreements, and creating new county positions.
Among the actions the full body approved were combined resolution packages covering: resolutions 25-268 through 25-273 (preferred agenda items); 25-274 through 25-281 (including an extension with Finger Lakes South Enterprises on behalf of Elmira Corning Regional Airport, an application for state aid on behalf of the Chemung County Probation Department, an agreement with Family Services of Chemung County, and an application for Temporary Disability Assistance rental supplement funds for the Department of Social Services); 25-282 and 25-283 (transfers and appropriations and apportionment of mortgage tax); 25-284 through 25-295 and 25-296 through 25-299 (including bid awards to private vendors on behalf of county departments); and resolutions 25-300 through 25-301 (establishing an extension to the Elmira Sewer District known as the Fairway Phoenix service area extension and introducing Local Law Number 2 for 2025 entitled "A Local Law Authorizing Appropriations and Contracts to Nonprofit Organizations for Public Benefit Services").
Specific contract and procurement items named in the transcript included bids and purchase agreements with CFE Incorporated, Kimbell Incorporated, Orkin LLC, Advanced Electronic Design Incorporated (for the Sheriff's Office), Nelson & Streeter Construction Company (for the county nursing facility and health department), Alta Equipment Company (designated sole-source vendor for Volvo parts), Monroe Tractor (sole-source for Case equipment), Whitford Company, Lindsay Equipment, and an amended agreement with Precision Trenchless LLC on behalf of the sewer districts. Resolutions authorizing a lease with Sanitary Barber Shop and an intermunicipal agreement with the City of Elmira were also approved.
The legislature also approved creation of three full-time positions in county government: an employee benefits liaison and a human-resources recruiter in the Personnel Department and a principal account clerk in the Department of Public Works; those resolutions passed on roll call.
Clerk-led roll-call votes are recorded in the transcript and the chair repeatedly announced "Aye" votes; the transcript records the clerk calling the roll on multiple items and concludes "Resolutions pass." The transcript does not record any "no" votes or recorded absences during the roll calls cited; outcomes are recorded as passed.
After approving the resolution package and votes on specific procurements and personnel matters, the legislature introduced (by resolution) Local Law Number 2 for 2025 regarding appropriations and contracts with nonprofit organizations and approved an extension to the Elmira Sewer District to create the Fairway Phoenix service area extension. The meeting then moved to adjournment.
