Warren County committee approves rabies plan, anti‑vaping contract and small budget adjustments
Summary
The Board of Health committee adopted the county’s 2026–2030 rabies plan, authorized a $25,000 Sidekick Creative contract for a youth anti‑vaping campaign funded by Jewel settlement money, accepted a $500 stipend from Adirondack Health Institute and approved a $300 intragovernmental transfer for emergency preparedness phone expense.
The Warren County Board of Health committee voted on a series of administrative resolutions during its June 1 meeting.
The committee approved adoption of the Warren County 2026–2030 rabies prevention and control plan, a statutorily required five‑year update, after an agency official presented the plan. A supervisor made the motion and the committee approved it by voice vote.
Health services staff also requested authorization for the chair to execute a contract with Sidekick Creative for a digital and social media anti‑vaping education campaign aimed at adolescents and young adults. The requested contract amount was $25,000, funded by the Jewel settlement; staff said the use of settlement funds for this campaign is an approved purpose. The committee approved the authorization by voice vote.
The committee accepted a $500 stipend from the Adirondack Health Institute as reimbursement for two employees who attended a waiver conference and amended the 2026 budget to reflect the additional funds.
Finally, the committee authorized a $300 transfer within the 2026 emergency preparedness grant — moving funds from part‑time salaries to phone expense to cover the year‑end phone costs — after staff explained the need. That transfer was approved by voice vote.
All four items were presented as routine administrative measures; the committee recorded no roll‑call tallies in the transcript, and each passed on a committee voice vote. The chair said staff will return other items and any follow‑up materials at future meetings.
