Summary
The Allegany County Board of Legislators adopted a local law to establish a county traffic diversion program and authorized a contract with Diversion Management LLC to run diversion services; both measures passed by roll call votes with 13 ayes and 2 absences.
The Allegany County Board of Legislators on Feb. 25 adopted a local law to establish a county traffic diversion program and authorized a contract with Diversion Management LLC to provide diversion management services for the district attorney's office.
The board voted to adopt the local law (Resolution intro 10226) after a motion by Legislator Whitney and a second by Legislator Healy; the roll call recorded 13 ayes and 2 members absent. Later in the meeting, the board approved Resolution intro 11726 authorizing an agreement with Diversion Management LLC and directed the chairman to execute the contract; that measure also passed on roll call by the same margin.
The measures were offered by the Public Safety Committee. The local law creates the county’s traffic diversion program framework and the contract establishes a vendor relationship to operate the diversion services for matters referred by the district attorney, as stated in the board materials presented during the meeting. No members of the public spoke during the board’s public hearing on the local law.
The board did not include detailed budget line items for the diversion program in the meeting discussion; funding sources and implementation timelines were not specified in the public proceedings. The next procedural step is administrative: the county chairman was authorized to sign the contract for diversion services, after which implementation and operational details will be handled by the district attorney’s office and the contracted vendor.
