Summary

The committee approved several appointments and reappointments to Ulster County planning boards for multiple towns and adopted local law No. 5 (2026) to rename the Workforce Investment Board to the Workforce Development Board and relax the residency requirement for certain employer representatives.

At its April 7 meeting, the Ulster County committee approved multiple appointments and reappointments to county planning boards and adopted a local law changing the name and residency requirement of the county’s workforce board.

The committee approved Resolution 156 to reappoint Roxan Pakora to the Ulster County Planning Board for the Town of Esopus (as described in the meeting record). It also approved motions to appoint Salvatore (transcript variants: Cuchi/Cuchidi/Cusidi) and alternate member Jerry Marian to the planning board for the Town of Lloyd; to appoint Frederick Callo as an alternate for the Town of Marlborough (Resolution 158); and to reappoint Thomas Tango and alternate Richard Barnard for the Town of Shawangunk (Resolution 159). All appointment items were moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.

The committee adopted proposed local law number 5 of 2026 (Resolution 167), which renames the Workforce Investment Board to the Workforce Development Board and revises the board’s residency requirement. Director Laval explained the change has been before the committee previously and said it would allow employers’ senior HR or executive staff who may not live in the county to serve because their operational perspective is important to board deliberations. Legislator Murray asked how many members currently live outside the county; staff said the committee’s knowledge identified one nonresident in such a position. The committee moved, seconded and approved the local law.

The committee concluded the agenda and adjourned for the evening.
