Ulster County approves sheriff’s office Axon contract and related budget change after 21–1 votes
Summary
The Legislature approved a county contract with Axon Enterprise totaling $2,538,495.87 and a related operating‑budget amendment; both measures passed 21–1 with Legislator McCollough recorded as the lone no vote.
The Ulster County Legislature adopted two related measures concerning purchases for the sheriff’s office on June 16. Resolution No. 185 approved execution of a contract with Axon Enterprise, Inc. for $2,538,495.87; Resolution No. 184, an accompanying amendment to the 2026 operating budget to cover Axon services, was adopted in the same roll call. Both items passed by a 21–1 margin, with Legislator McCollough recorded as the sole 'no' vote.
The minutes record adoption of both resolutions but do not include extended debate or direct quotes explaining the dissent. An earlier committee‑level notation (Resolution No. 186) showing a separate Axon contract amount appears in meeting materials as postponed in committee and is not the same action recorded in the floor vote for Resolutions 184 and 185.
The contract and budget amendment will proceed to implementation per county procurement procedures; the clerk’s minutes list each item and the recorded vote tally in the official record.
