On April 2, 2026 the Franklin County Legislature defeated Resolution No. 87, which would have amended an April 24, 2024 inter-municipal agreement with the Village of Malone to add demolition of the building at 411–417 East Main Street.

The Franklin County Legislature voted to defeat Resolution No. 87 on April 2, 2026, rejecting an amendment that would have added demolition of the building at 411–417 East Main Street in Malone, New York, to an existing inter-municipal agreement with the Village of Malone.
Chairman Greg Janisewski called the special meeting to order at 2:15 P.M. and Clerk Heather Marlow called the roll, noting all members and all districts were present. The resolution, offered by the Public Works & Services Committee, would amend an agreement first entered into on April 24, 2024, that covered demolition of the Flanagan Hotel; the amendment would add the adjacent building at 411–417 East Main Street to the scope of work.
Legislator Lockwood moved to adopt Resolution No. 87 and Legislator Sparks seconded. Chairman Janisewski requested a roll-call vote and Clerk Marlow conducted it. The Legislature recorded three ayes, three nays and one abstention; the measure was defeated. The transcript provides the vote tally but does not attribute individual yes/no votes to specific members.
After the vote, Legislator Lockwood moved to adjourn and Legislator Dabiew seconded. All members voted in the affirmative and Chairman Janisewski adjourned the meeting at 2:25 P.M.
The action leaves the April 24, 2024 inter-municipal agreement unchanged; the transcript does not record further direction to staff or next procedural steps on the demolition scope.
