Committee approves vehicle and equipment appropriations for Sewer District No. 1; legal finding under County Law 268 required
Summary
The committee approved supplemental appropriations for a sewer-district vehicle and equipment and added resolutions required under County Law 268 that the expenditures are in the public interest before funds are expended.
Legislator Peter V. Tuohy moved to request a supplemental appropriation to increase Capital Project No. 70 for Orange County Sewer District No. 1 to $65,000 to purchase a vehicle; the motion was seconded by Legislator Michael Amo and approved by the committee.
During discussion Senior Assistant County Attorney Joseph F. Mahoney and Legislative Counsel Betsy N. Abraham explained that County Law 268 requires the Legislature to pass a separate resolution finding the expenditure is in the public interest before funds can be expended. The committee added and approved the required resolution pursuant to County Law 268. Separately, Mr. Tuohy moved to create Capital Project No. 69 and approve $215,000 (bonding) for equipment for Sewer District No. 1; that motion was seconded by Mr. Amo and carried, and Mr. Amo added a County Law 268 resolution for the equipment appropriation as well.
The committee recorded both supplemental appropriations and the parallel County Law 268 resolutions; minutes do not specify procurement timelines or detailed equipment lists.
