At the meeting, Sullivan County’s deputy commissioner of human resources (filling in for Julie) told the board that the New York State Civil Service Commission has approved “66 titles for the health program” and announced a public hearing on Nov. 20 to consider additional titles.

The HR deputy summarized several personnel and administrative items, including one new investigation and four pending investigations, ongoing labor negotiations, and progress on a UKG migration intended to automate leave processing. She said open enrollment sessions with benefits broker Brown & Brown are scheduled across county locations; the deputy also reported that “80 employees have received the code to begin” a defensive driving class and that two promotional exams for principal account clerk and senior account clerk are set for Dec. 3.

The deputy told the board there is a resolution before members to create a domestic and gender-based violence prevention policy “in line with the New York State Finance Law, section 139-1 and 139-m,” and said posting requirements and distribution to the APCO department have been completed. The presiding officer called for a motion; a motion was made and seconded, and the board approved the resolution by the vote reported as “4 zip.”

The HR report also listed operational items including four completed peril certifications and ongoing work with the county Office of Management and Budget and IT on the UKG migration. The deputy framed those items as routine administrative actions and compliance steps; she did not provide additional budget figures in the report.

The resolution was presented as an administrative compliance measure; the meeting record shows the board adopted the policy and did not record further amendments or conditions. The meeting then moved to adjournment.
