Summary

County staff told Ways and Means the Sheriff's civil fees have not changed since 2002 and requested updates reflecting recent statutory changes and higher operational costs; committee reported the change to the agenda.

County Manager Rory Fluman presented Ways and Means item W&M 8, a proposed resolution updating various fees charged by the Schenectady County Sheriff’s Office for civil services. Fluman said the allowable fees are tightly structured by state law and that the county’s schedule had not been updated since February 2002 despite rising costs and recent statutory changes that affect allowable charges.

Fluman said the Sheriff’s memo (included in committee materials) lists the specific fee adjustments proposed; committee members moved the resolution to the legislative agenda for full consideration. No committee roll‑call was recorded in the committee meeting.
