Executive Committee approves administrative contracts, grant applications and budget modifications; several measures move forward by voice vote
Summary
The Sullivan County Executive Committee moved through a slate of administrative resolutions, approving contracts, grant applications and budget modifications by voice vote; members asked staff to add clearer dollar amounts to some resolutions and to track multiyear workers' compensation impacts tied to a vendor change.
The Sullivan County Executive Committee considered and approved multiple administrative resolutions during its meeting, largely by voice vote. Items included designation of a law-student intern in the district attorney’s office, authorization of various contracts and contract modifications, application authorizations for federal and state grant programs, amendments to management salary schedules, and a construction contract for a potable water storage-tank project.
Notable items discussed and approved (by voice vote during the executive-committee meeting) included:
- Designation of a student intern position under the district attorney’s office (motion moved and seconded; passed by voice). - Authorization to award and execute various contracts (motion passed by voice). - Authorization for staff to apply for a FY22 critical-infrastructure grant and FY22 cybersecurity grant (motions passed by voice). - Amendments to the management salary schedule and creation of specified confidential/management titles (motions passed; committee members asked that attachments include complete formatting and that salary figures be included where appropriate). - A contract modification with the Sullivan County Partnership for Economic Development and an amendment authorizing a construction contract with Rutledge Excavating for a redundant potable water storage tank (motion passed; construction contract authorized).
During budget discussion, staff and legislators discussed a large increase associated with a change in workers’ compensation administration to a new vendor (PERMA) and funding of tail claims; staff explained the multiyear funding and said they expect programmatic risk management to reduce costs over time. Legislators asked for clear dollar figures to be included in future resolutions.
All items were handled on the consent/administrative track at the executive-committee level and will advance according to standard contract or appropriation procedures; the committee adjourned after moving the final contracts.
