Committee adopts gender-based violence workplace policy to meet state contracting requirements
Summary
The committee amended the county policies and procedures manual to add a gender-based violence in the workplace policy required for New York State contract bidders; the assistant county attorney assisted in drafting and explaining the requirement.
Saratoga County's New Resources and Insurance Committee voted to amend the county's policies and procedures manual to include a gender-based violence in the workplace policy.
The meeting packet included the draft policy and guidance, and the presenter said adding the policy would fulfill a requirement for New York State contract bidders. The presenter credited the assistant county attorney with identifying the contractual requirement and assisting with drafting the policy language.
A motion to adopt the policy was moved, seconded and carried in the meeting; the public transcript records the motion and the chair's announcement that the motion carried, but does not include a roll-call vote tally by name.
Officials said the change is intended to ensure the county remains eligible for state contracting opportunities that require such a policy as part of vendors' or grantees' compliance.
