The committee approved reenrolling to bill Medicare for immunizations, applying for an immunization mini‑grant, adding year‑one funds from a children & youth contract to the 2026 budget, appointing Barbara Price to the Aging Advisory Council, and creating a grant‑funded part‑time caseworker for homelessness services.
At the May 1 meeting the committee approved the following items by voice vote or moved them to finance as noted:
- Medicare reenrollment for immunization billing: S12 requested permission to reenroll with Medicare and pay the $750 enrollment fee (included in the 2026 budget). The motion was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote (no roll‑call recorded). (See SEG 744–769.)
- Immunization Action Plan mini‑grant application: S12 requested permission to apply for a New York State Association of County Health Officials mini‑grant (no county match; up to $5,000). The committee approved the application. (See SEG 1433–1445.)
- Children & Youth with Special Health Care Needs contract: S12 said the county received a five‑year contract totaling $322,000 (year 1: $89,393) and requested adding year‑one funds to the 2026 budget; the item was moved to finance for processing. (See SEG 1446–1460.)

The motion to create the position, with personnel‑committee follow‑up and a contingency that the position ends if the grant ends, was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. (See SEG 2180–2232.)
