At a Jan. 29, 2026 meeting of the Board of Investment in Rome, members approved four routine resolutions authorizing agreements and administrative changes, including a no-cost placement agreement with Upstate Cerebral Palsy Incorporated and a $4,020 contract for fire systems work.
The board voted to authorize the mayor to sign an agreement with Upstate Cerebral Palsy Incorporated that will allow a program participant to be placed with the city’s maintenance crew under the supervision of UCP staff. Commissioner Juliano said the arrangement is free to the city and described it as a transition placement run by Upstate Caring Partners. "This is a non a no cost agreement to the city of Rome," Juliano said, adding that the candidate is "very socially adept" and "physically functional." Juliano described the placement as approximately an eight-week transition program (noted on the record as 16 days, two days per week) intended to help graduates move back into work and community settings.
