Committee authorizes sale of county pickup; sheriff outlines Stop DWI outreach and school programs

The Cayuga County Judicial & Public Safety Committee on Nov. 5 approved a resolution authorizing the sale of a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD crew cab to the Cuba County Soil and Water Conservation District and heard the sheriff's update on traffic‑safety outreach.

A sheriff's office representative introduced JP3, authorizing the vehicle sale. Committee members asked routine questions about vehicle condition and details; a motion to approve the sale was moved, seconded and carried by voice vote. The transcript does not record a roll‑call tally.

The sheriff reported the annual Stop DWI plan has been submitted and described ongoing outreach tied to a Finger Lakes radio contract: live on‑air interviews scheduled in November and December to reiterate holiday impaired‑driving messages. He also said a statewide program coordinated by the New York State Governor's Traffic and Safety Committee is available to local school districts at no charge and can include a Save a Life tour or an impaired‑driving simulator if the districts apply.

The sheriff noted updated Shattered Life books for distribution and said the local DWI foundation partners on prevention and education work. The committee did not take any additional formal action on the outreach programs at the meeting.
