Clinton County legislators on Dec. 23 approved a broad package of resolutions setting contracts, dues, grant applications and appropriations for 2025, then voted to enter executive session to discuss the employment history of a county employee.

Chair said before the votes that “the majority of the resolutions have been thoroughly discussed by the appropriate committees,” and that the legislature would act on the committees’ recommendations. Many items were carried on roll call votes after motions and seconds from committee chairs and other legislators.

Notable approvals included:
- Resolution 1,108: an amendment to a prior resolution (No. 808, Oct. 9, 2024) awarding the bid for the surrogate building exterior renovations project; motion moved and seconded and carried. (Resolution referenced in committee report and moved on the floor.)
- Resolution 1,109: authorizing payment of membership dues for specified collections; motion moved and carried.
- Resolution 1,110: authorizing a contract amendment involving Planned Parenthood of North Country (as described in the reading); motion moved and carried after roll call.
- Resolutions 1,113–1,116: actions related to Plattsburgh International Airport, including payment of 2025 membership dues, a New York State Department of Transportation grant amendment (Project PIN 7910.62) and authorization of various 2025 airport contracts; motions were approved following committee recommendation.
- Resolution 1,117: application and acceptance of a grant for an Ignition Interlock Device Monitoring project through the New York State Governor’s Traffic Safety Committee; motion carried.
- Resolution 1,122: rejecting bids for cobalt pipe and fittings for 2025–2026 and authorizing resolicitation by the purchasing agent; motion carried.
- Resolution 1,123: authorizing acceptance of a FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant (via NYS Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services) for the Highway Department; motion carried.
- Resolutions 1,124–1,126: establishing appropriations and revenues for a cybersecurity grant (IT), economic development budget adjustments and a decrease of appropriation for the probation department; motions carried.
- Resolution 1,127: authorizing a reappointment to the Clinton County Soil and Water Conservation Board; motion carried.

One item was withdrawn from the agenda: Resolution 1,111 was noted as withdrawn during the reading. Several other items were read and acted on in sequence; where roll calls were used, the record in the transcript shows individual “Yes” responses from members present but does not provide a complete named tally for every vote.

Legislative staff reminded members the organizational meeting is scheduled for Jan. 2 at 5 p.m. and said the legislature would soon meet in executive session to discuss an employment matter; the motion to enter executive session was moved by Legislator Hall, seconded by Legislator Bizarro, and approved.

The votes implement committee recommendations for 2025 contracts, grants and appropriations; details on funding sources, contract amounts and full vote tallies were not specified in the meeting record provided.
