Committee authorizes up-to-$5,000 contract with Genesee Valley Conservancy; two supervisors opposed
Summary
Wyoming County authorized a contract (≤ $5,000) with Genesee Valley Conservancy for Farmland Protection Implementation Grants; motion passed with two no votes (Kehl, McCormick).
The county authorized the chairman to sign a professional services contract (MUNIS #3695) with Genesee Valley Conservancy for three Farmland Protection Implementation Grants, not to exceed $5,000, effective April 1–Dec. 31, 2026. The motion was made by Supervisor Rudgers and recorded Ayes:5, Noes:2 (Supervisors Kehl and McCormick). The item was recorded as Non-Consent Resolution and carried.
The minutes show the two no votes but do not include statements explaining the opposition. Supervisor Rudgers noted an obligation concern (later in the minutes he observed the county might need to offer a similar contract to WNY Land Conservancy), but the substantive contract terms listed the conservancy’s address and the contract limit. The minutes refer the matter as a Non-Consent Resolution to be processed pursuant to county contracting procedures.
