Health & Human Services Committee approves four routine resolutions, moves to executive session
Summary
The committee voted by voice on four routine items: to apply for an OMH150 grant, accept Toys for Tots donations, enter childcare agreements, and amend preschool service rates; it then moved into executive session to discuss NYSNA contract negotiations and real property tax matters.
After public comment the Health & Human Services Committee moved through its resolutions with brief discussion and voice votes.
Resolution 1: Authorize application for and acceptance of fiscal year 2026 'Promoting Wellness and Healing in Communities' (OMH150) grant (to support trauma-informed, community-wide mental health access through FQHCs). Motion moved and seconded; voice vote recorded (Aye); at least one member verbally registered opposition during the call — the record shows the motion proceeded.
Resolution 2: Accept a donation of toys to the Sullivan County Department of Public Health from the Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots. Motion moved and seconded; approved by voice vote.
Resolution 3: Enter into agreements for funding and the provision of childcare-related services (routine renewal and partial in-housing of application processing). Motion moved and seconded; approved by voice vote.
Resolution 4: Authorize amendments to preschool-related services provider contracts to include revised session rates (routine review). Motion moved and seconded; approved by voice vote.
Following the resolutions the chair entertained and the committee approved a motion to enter executive session to discuss contract negotiations with NYSNA and real property tax issues with the treasurer; the chair stated there would be no business conducted afterward.
Vote details: votes were conducted by voice; the transcript records 'Aye' and some voiced opposition but does not record a roll-call tally or names for each recorded vote in the public transcript. Where the transcript records an opposition, the article notes it; specific numeric tallies were not provided.
