Votes at a glance: Ulster County Legislature (June 17, 2025) — SRO agreements, bond, consent items
Summary
The legislature adopted several agenda items unanimously, including agreements authorizing deputy sheriffs as school resource officers at BOCES sites and a $3.67 million bond for public‑works equipment. Resolution 33 (opposing a countywide landfill at specific Wawarsing sites) was defeated 8–13.
The Ulster County Legislature took multiple recorded votes on June 17. Key outcomes:
- Resolutions 284 and 285: Authorized the chair to execute agreements with Ulster County BOCES to provide deputy sheriffs as school resource officers at specified BOCES locations; both adopted 21–0.
- Resolution 307: Bond resolution authorizing purchase of construction and maintenance equipment for the Department of Public Works at a maximum estimated cost of $3,670,000 and authorizing issuance of serial bonds in that amount; adopted 21–0.
- Consent agenda: A set of resolutions moved to consent (including Nos. 288, 308, 317, 318 and 319) were adopted 21–0.
- Resolution 33 (oppose countywide landfill in Wawarsing): Defeated by recorded roll call, final tally 8–13 after a switch in a recorded vote (see coverage). The defeat reflected floor disagreement over whether the legislature should issue a formal policy opinion while the regional agency conducts technical siting work.
Procedural notes: Several measures that required roll call were recorded on the public record; where a roll call was made, votes were read aloud. The meeting also included multiple contract approvals and amendments (including a contract amendment for Tourism and a contract with Oxford House, Inc. reported on the agenda).
