Clinton County Legislature approves airport, bridge and highway resolutions; executive session convened
Summary
At its Jan. 22 meeting the Clinton County Legislature approved a package of resolutions including airport contracts and multiple highway appropriations, appointed a regional-planning representative and entered executive session; most measures were carried on roll call.
The Clinton County Legislature on Jan. 22 approved a series of routine resolutions covering airport contracts, bridge acceptances and highway appropriations, and filled at least one appointment to a regional planning board. After disposition of the resolutions the legislature voted to enter an executive session before adjourning.
Several Plattsburgh/Glassburg International Airport-related measures (resolutions numbered in the low 20s) were placed on the agenda by the Glassburg International Airport committee and approved on the floor. Those items included: a contract with AAC Contract Incorporated (resolution 22), an independent-fee-estimate services contract with MRB Group (resolution 23), an amendment with Aetna Engineering Services LLC (resolution 24), and a master services agreement with CMS Engineers Incorporated (resolution 27). The committee also placed a package of airport contracts (resolution 26) and a membership-payment item (resolution 20 and amending resolution 25) on the agenda.
The legislature also approved several highway-related appropriations and project actions: acceptance of real property obtained by New York State for rehabilitation of the Main Street Keithville Bridge over the Au Sable River (bridge ID 3359920, project ID 7753.5); an appropriation increase tied to Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act grants (resolution 29); establishment of appropriations from the County Road Reserve for the Du Bois Webb Road Bridge project and the Keeseville Swing Bridge project (resolutions 30 and 31); and other highway-related authorizations listed on the agenda.
A personnel/appointment resolution (resolution 33) approved an appointment to the Lake Champlain–Lake George Regional Planning Board. Resolution 34 amended a prior appointment for the off-track betting director for 2025.
Most resolutions were called and carried by roll call. On multiple items roll calls recorded a string of “yes” responses from legislators present, with individual legislators (for example, Timmons, Hall and Paul) recorded answering in the affirmative on several votes. After completing the consent-style business the legislature voted to enter executive session for matters described by staff as the sale or release of real property and collective negotiations, then reconvened and adjourned.
The Jan. 22 meeting agenda placed many of these resolutions on the recommendation of standing committees; where committee recommendations were noted, the legislature followed those recommendations in the votes recorded on the floor.
