Steuben County Legislature approves committee appointments authority and official newspaper designations
Summary
As part of its organizational business the legislature approved a resolution giving the chair authority to appoint standing and special committees, adopted rules regulating publication of certain official matters, and designated official newspapers for Republican and Democratic members; each resolution was carried on roll call.
The Steuben County Legislature adopted a suite of routine organizational resolutions. The clerk presented Resolution 5, which recognizes the authority of the chair to appoint standing and special committees for 2026 and 2027; members cast affirmative responses during a roll call and the clerk recorded that the resolution "carries."
The clerk then presented Resolution 6, described in the transcript as regulating the publication of certain official matters; that resolution also received a second and carried on roll call. Resolutions 7 and 8 followed, designating official newspapers by the Republican members and by the Democratic members of the legislature, respectively; both were seconded, roll calls were completed, and both carried. The transcript records individual responses rather than a consolidated numeric tally for each roll call; the clerk recorded the outcome as carried for each item.
