Sullivan County Legislature approves two resolutions at special meeting on environmental review and guide-rail work
Summary
At a May 8 special meeting the Sullivan County Legislature approved two resolutions, including actions related to the environmental review for the Catskill Open Access Network project and a guide-rail agreement; both measures passed unanimously, 9-0.
Sullivan County legislators met in a special session on May 8 and approved two resolutions, including items tied to the environmental review process for the Catskill Open Access Network project and authorization related to guide-rail replacement. Both measures passed unanimously by 9-0 votes.
The meeting notice read by staff said the special meeting’s stated purposes were to declare a lead agency for the environmental review of the Catskill Open Access Network project, to issue a determination on that environmental review, and to authorize an agreement for guide-rail replacement. The transcript of the session does not map those specific actions to a particular resolution number, so the article reports the legislature approved two resolutions addressing the meeting’s announced purposes.
There was no substantive public comment on the agenda items. A resident, Linda Reich of Livingston Manor, spoke during the public-comment portion about attending a recent conference on waste and methods of handling waste; she noted the special meeting was limited to two resolutions and that a later public hearing was scheduled for a different meeting. The legislature briefly attempted to move the two resolutions in a single “block” vote but rescinded that motion after members determined a roll-call vote was required for one item.
Resolution 1 was adopted by voice vote and recorded as approved by a 9-0 tally. Resolution 2 was approved by roll call; recorded votes were “Yes” from Matt McPhillips, Nadia Rice, Brian McPhillips, Nick Salimoni, Catherine Scott, Louie Alvarez, Joe Perillo, Amanda Ward and Carrie Bernardo. The meeting adjourned immediately after the votes.
The transcript does not include the full text of either resolution, the complete motion language, or details tying each numbered resolution to the items listed in the meeting notice, so those specifics are reported as not specified in the record. The legislature did not announce next steps or a schedule for any follow-up actions during the special session.
