At the meeting the council approved the appointment of Margaret Lee Baskett to the Erie County Housing Authority for a term expiring March 31, 2027. The appointment was moved, seconded and passed by recorded vote with no extended discussion.

The resolution passed on a recorded vote (motion carries 5 to 1). Council members expressed support for the financing instrument to facilitate hospice and palliative care infrastructure.
