Committee approves acceptance of 2026 Crimes Against Revenue Program grant to fund attorney and training
Summary
The Public Safety Committee voted to accept a 2026 Crimes Against Revenue Program grant from the New York State Division of Justice Services to fund an attorney post and training; the presenter said the award is slightly larger than last year and offsets most of the attorney's salary.
At the June meeting the Saratoga County Public Safety Committee approved a resolution to accept the 2026 Crimes Against Revenue Program grant from the New York State Division of Justice Services to support hiring an attorney and training. The presenter told committee members the award is "a little under $1,000 more than we did last year" and that the grant offsets most of the attorney’s salary.
The presenter described operational benefits, saying the grant helps recover a multiple of the county’s cost to employ the attorney: "she probably recovers close to 10 times what we pay her throughout the course of the year. So, the grant really pays for itself," he said in the transcript.
The committee moved and seconded the resolution; the transcript records that the motion was carried. The excerpt does not include a roll‑call or named vote tallies. The presenter said the grant proceeds reduce county overhead by covering salary and training costs associated with prosecuting revenue‑related crimes.
Next steps: The committee accepted the grant and will proceed to use the funds for the stated attorney position and training; the transcript does not specify award amount or additional administrative conditions.
