Washington County committee to review LEAP workforce updates and regional PY26 budget
Summary
Washington County’s Agriculture, Planning, Tourism & Community Development Committee will meet May 19 to review the Saratoga‑Warren‑Washington Workforce Development Board proposed PY26 budget and receive updates on the LEAP Workforce Development Program; the memo lists committee members and a public livestream link but does not include funding figures.
The Washington County Agriculture, Planning, Tourism & Community Development Committee will meet at 10 a.m. Tuesday, May 19, 2026, in the Board of Supervisors’ Classroom (Room B214) at County Office Building B, 383 Broadway, Fort Edward, to review the Saratoga‑Warren‑Washington Workforce Development Board’s proposed PY26 budget and receive updates on the LEAP Workforce Development Program, according to a memo issued by Clerk of the Board Debra R. Prehoda.
Chair David K. O’Brien scheduled the meeting and the memo lists the meeting agenda as: call to order; acceptance of the April 21, 2026, minutes; LEAP (including the regional workforce board’s proposed PY26 budget and program updates); other business; and adjournment. The memo provides a YouTube livestream link for public viewing but does not specify any dollar amounts, a hearing schedule for the budget, or whether the committee will take formal action on the proposal.
The memo names the committee members invited to attend — Supervisors David K. O’Brien, Evera Sue Clary, Brian R. Campbell, Scott D. Hahn, William Herrick and James J. Mumby — and asks committee members to notify the Clerk’s office if they cannot attend. The memo is signed by Clerk of the Board Debra R. Prehoda and includes a county roster of supervisors with town affiliations.
Why it matters: the Saratoga‑Warren‑Washington Workforce Development Board’s budget and the LEAP program influence regional workforce services, training and funding allocations that affect employers and jobseekers across Washington County and neighboring jurisdictions. The memo circulated prior to the meeting does not include fiscal details; committee debate or staff presentations at the meeting will be the first public record of any specific funding requests or proposed changes to LEAP programming.
The committee meeting is scheduled for May 19 at 10 a.m.; the memo does not state whether the committee will vote on or approve the PY26 budget during that session.
