Summary
The Public Works Committee voted 5–0 to adopt resolutions grouped as items 1–7, covering debt write-off, contracts for lawn mowing and consultants, bridge work and an airport schedule change.
The Sullivan County Public Works Committee approved resolutions numbered 1 through 7 in a single block motion Tuesday, passing the package by a 5–0 vote.
The vote bundled items discussed earlier in the meeting, including a recommended debt write-off for a now-defunct sanitation firm, annual contracts for grounds maintenance, selection of prequalified consultants for state- and federally-funded design work, bridge work including slip-lining for County Bridge 400, a guide-rail contract and a revised completion date for an airport terminal project.
Committee member Terry Bernardo moved the motion to approve items 1–7 in a block; Brian McPhillips seconded. The motion passed with five members voting yes and no recorded no votes.
The resolutions as described in committee reports included a debt write-off tied to Clean Sweep Sanitation for approximately $66,157 (collection efforts unsuccessful), annual lawn-mowing contracts covering 13 county facilities, selection of a 15-firm prequalified consultant list for New York State DOT and FHWA-funded projects, and authorization of bridge work that includes a slip-lining technique for County Bridge 400. The guide-rail contract cited in reports covers about 18,000 linear feet and was described earlier in the meeting as costing roughly $1.5 million. A change to the airport terminal project’s completion date was also included, moving final completion into mid-June from May; the GA apron paving project was described with a total project cost of about $169,000 and a county share noted at $8,500.
Committee chair conducted the roll call immediately before the motion; members recorded present earlier in the meeting included Joe Perillo, Brian McPhillips, Louie Alvarez, Terry Bernardo and Amanda Ward.
