Votes at a glance: Montgomery County committees advance staffing, intermunicipal and grant resolutions
Summary
Committees advanced multiple resolutions to the full board including personnel changes (micro computer technician, network coordinator), an MOU with Amsterdam, grant acceptances, trail planning money and a schedule for a microenterprise public hearing; several items recorded as approved or advanced with verbal aye/oppose/abstain votes in committee.
Several Montgomery County committee resolutions were sponsored and advanced to the full board during the April committee meetings. Key actions include personnel reclassifications, intermunicipal agreements, grant acceptances and approvals to move items to full-board consideration.
Notable committee actions that were advanced: - Personnel: Reestablished the Supervising Public Health Nurse (abolishing Community Health Nurse) and advanced a resolution to reestablish a micro computer technician and abolish a network engineer/senior network systems administrator; these personnel items will be posted and move to the full board for final action. - Intermunicipal agreements: Approved an MOU between the Montgomery County Health Department and the city of Amsterdam for community health programs and events; advanced an intermunicipal agreement for sludge treatment disposal with the village wastewater treatment plant. - Grants and budgets: Accepted a Division of Criminal Justice Services (Edward Byrne Memorial JAG) grant and advanced multiple operating-budget amendments for public health and mental-health programs; a $100,000 grant for DMV renovation was discussed and referred pending a cost study. - Planning and housing: Advanced a budget amendment for the Chuckton Nunda Creek Trail extension master plan and scheduled a public hearing for the Montgomery County Microenterprise Program (Office of Home and Community Renewal). - Other: Approved a resolution to sell surplus equipment (auction scheduled for early May; two additional vehicles added to the auction list) and advanced an introductory local law requiring source separation of recyclables to the full board; an opioid-settlement resolution also moved forward.
How votes were recorded: Committees verbally recorded "ayes," "opposed" and "abstentions" for items in committee and noted items moving to the full board; the transcript does not contain full numerical tallies for each vote. Final, binding votes and any ordinance/resolution numbers will be recorded at the full-board session.
