The Ulster County Law Enforcement and Public Safety Committee postponed a proposal to add magnetometers and airport-style screening at the county office building and approved multiple contracts and appointments during its July 2 meeting.
The committee voted to postpone Resolution 245, which called for enhanced security measures and screening in public-access areas of the county office building. A motion to postpone was made, seconded and carried by voice vote; no roll-call tally was provided in the record.
The committee unanimously adopted Resolution 354 to appoint two members to the Ulster County Fire Advisory Board: David Allen (City of Kingston) and Donald Strauss (Town of Plattekill). A motion to adopt the resolution was introduced and approved by voice vote.
Probation Director Naccarato explained Resolution 355, a contract with the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services for the 2024–25 fiscal year that provides Raise the Age funding for the county probation department. The committee adopted the resolution by voice vote.
Resolutions 356, 357 and 358 — contracts authorizing Ulster County to provide school resource officers in the Kingston, Onteora and Roundout Valley school districts — were presented as a block. A motion to place the three resolutions on the consent block was made and seconded; the block was adopted by voice vote.
The committee also approved Resolution 359, a contract with the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services enabling Ulster County to participate in the Crimes Against Revenue Program (CARP). A representative of the district attorney's office explained that CARP funds prosecutors and investigators who handle welfare-fraud cases and related offenses; prosecution under CARP often reduces the need for separate administrative hearings and can require repayment and disqualification from benefit programs for offenders.
Formal roll-call tallies were not recorded in the transcript for the votes listed above. The minutes record standard voice approval for the adopted items and indicate the motions carried.
The committee moved on to other agenda items after the resolutions portion of the meeting concluded.
