Board approves personnel changes, grants, public works contracts and accepts audit
Summary
The Allegany County Board of Legislators approved a package of resolutions on May 27 creating a DA secretary position, approving grant applications and re-appropriations, authorizing public works projects and supplemental DOT funding for a bridge replacement, and accepted the county audit totals.
At its May 27 meeting the Allegany County Board of Legislators approved multiple committee-sponsored resolutions covering personnel changes, grants, public works agreements and the county audit.
Key actions approved included: creation of one full-time position, 'secretary to the district attorney,' and the abolition of a senior typist position in the District Attorney’s office (resolution intro 2-35-26); approval of a grant application to the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation for 2026–27 snowmobile trails and maintenance; re-appropriation of unspent funds from the 2025–26 New York Cares Up sustainability grant for the sheriff’s office; and approval of agreements with private firms and a supplemental funding agreement with the New York State Department of Transportation for the North Main Street bridge replacement in the village of Andover.
One contract—approval of an agreement with Terry L. Ross for financial services for community services—was moved for consideration but tabled at the request of a legislator. The board also ratified an agreement with the New York State Office of Indigent Legal Services for a 'fifth counsel at first appearance' grant for the public defender and conflict defender offices.
The board reviewed audit presentation preferences and accepted the audit totals as read on the floor, covering general government support, education, public safety, health, bus transportation, economic assistance and opportunity, culture and recreation, home and community services, employee benefits, and fund totals. The audit was approved on a roll call (14 ayes, 1 absent).
Where the transcript records roll calls, each of these measures was passed with committee approval as noted; the transcript does not include detailed floor debate on most of the items.
