County manager presents 2026 goals, including property maintenance compliance and waste-management planning
Summary
County Manager Timothy Hunt outlined 2026 goals to the General Services Committee, including stabilizing ambulance services, revamping property maintenance laws with a 15% compliance target, and developing a long-term waste-management plan; he also urged updated emergency action plans and exploration of countywide water-sharing arrangements with towns.
County Manager Timothy Hunt presented the General Services Committee with proposed goals for 2026 during the Jan. 20 meeting in Lowville.
Hunt reviewed carryover objectives from 2025, including stabilizing ambulance services and updating property maintenance laws. As a new, measurable target for 2026 he proposed a 15% increase in property maintenance compliance. He also recommended development of a long-term waste-management plan for the county.
Hunt emphasized the need to update emergency action plans for all county buildings and suggested exploring a countywide water-sharing plan in coordination with local towns.
Why it matters: The goals address core county services — emergency medical response, building safety and waste management — and could shape budget priorities and regulatory work in 2026.
Committee discussion did not produce binding decisions during the meeting; Hunt’s presentation is intended to guide the committee’s planning and budget work for the year.
