Board approves multi‑department appropriations; NYS 250 historian funding and small cities grant re‑appropriation included
Summary
Resolution 26‑144 moved funds across departments including $25,461 for IT Exchange Online, $200,000 for a Microenterprise Small Cities grant re‑appropriation, $111,120 for Water Feasibility Study grant costs/match, and $20,077.50 for historian programs (NYS 250 and county supplemental funds).
The board approved a comprehensive appropriation resolution that reallocated and appropriated funds to cover multiple departmental needs for 2026.
Resolution No. 26‑144, presented by Finance Chair Mr. Kehl, authorized specific appropriations: Information Technology — $25,461 for Microsoft Exchange Online licensing originally budgeted in 2025; Planning & Development — $200,000 to appropriate remaining Microenterprise Small Cities grant #1279ME547‑24 into 2026; Water Resource Agency — $111,120 (split $55,560 state/contingency) for the Water Feasibility Study grant and match; Historian — $20,077.50 comprising a $15,000 NYSED Office of State History sub‑grant and $5,077.50 supplemental county funds for NYS 250 commemoration activities; Social Services, Mental Health and Public Health line adjustments were also included (details recorded in minutes).
The board carried the resolution with the standard recorded vote (Ayes: 201). Separately the board passed Resolution No. 26‑145 authorizing the chairman to sign a NYSED Office of State History grant acceptance for at least $15,000 to support local NYS 250 events; the appropriation of county supplemental funds to expand the program is reflected in Res. 26‑144.
Next steps: departments will execute contracts/purchase orders and report back through standard finance processes.
