Clinton County Legislature narrowly approves amendment to airport FBO contract after 7-3 vote
Summary
The Legislature approved Resolution #523 amending a prior award for Fixed Base Operator (FBO) services at Plattsburgh International Airport after a 7-3 vote; three legislators opposed the amendment. The decision follows committee review and was moved by Legislator Robert Hall.
The Clinton County Legislature approved an amendment to a previously awarded Fixed Base Operator (FBO) contract for Plattsburgh International Airport on June 27, passing Resolution #523 by a 7-3 margin.
Legislator Robert Hall moved the amendment and Legislator Rob Timmons seconded the motion. During the vote, Chairperson Harry McManus, Legislator Christopher Rosenquest and Legislator Patty Waldron voted no; the resolution carried 7-3-0.
The measure—titled in the agenda as "Amending Resolution #363 dated May 9, 2018 titled, 'Awarding Request for Proposals (RFPs) for Fixed Base Operator (FBO) Services - Plattsburgh International Airport'"—changes aspects of the previously awarded RFP package. The transcript records the motion, the names of the three dissenting legislators, and the final tally; no further details of the specific contractual changes were read into the record during the floor vote.
Supporters of the amendment argued the change was appropriate following committee review; opponents recorded their dissent but did not offer a detailed floor statement in the stenographer's minutes. The vote followed an earlier airport committee discussion recorded in the meeting packet and noted in committee reports.
Next steps: The amendment was approved on the floor and the resolution will be implemented per county procurement processes for airport projects. The Legislature did not record additional procedural steps or an immediate implementation timeline in the public minutes for this vote.
