Greene County Legislature carries omnibus slate of routine resolutions, contract approvals and transit agreement extension

Greene County legislators moved through a long consent and resolutions calendar and carried an omnibus slate of routine items, including changes to the senior-citizen income exemption, authorization of blanket bonds for county employees, designation of official newspapers, adoption of rules of order and multiple procurement and contract approvals.

Notable formal items included:
• Establishing a roster for professional consultant services for economic development, tourism and planning (motion carried).
• Authorizing an extension to an agreement with ARC Mid-Hudson for Section 5311 operating and capital assistance to maintain transit operations while staff complete a required transit plan update to the Department of Transportation (motion carried after clarification on ridership and recent bus deliveries).
• Contract and procurement approvals across county departments, including an integrated records-management system (InfoQuik Solutions), insurance coverage awards, equipment purchases and several capital-project engineering or construction acceptances for county routes and transfer-station work.

Many items were handled with brief discussion or none and recorded as carried by voice vote (‘aye’). Where numbers or specific contract terms were not read into the record at the meeting, staff indicated details would be available in the procurement files.
