Office for the Aging awarded $8,018 RSVP supplement; quarterly county finances reviewed amid overtime concerns
Summary
The Office for the Aging reported an $8,018 award from NYSOFA to supplement RSVP; finance staff presented quarterly summaries showing some departments under and over budget (notably jail overtime trending high), and commissioners requested clarifications on timing and staffing-related variances.
"We were awarded $8,018 from NYSOFA to supplement our RSVP grant," the Office for the Aging representative told the board and asked for a budget transfer to allocate the funds into RSVP program lines. The motion was moved, seconded and carried.
Finance staff presented the quarterly summary of departmental budgets and highlighted variances: fringes for the sheriff were down about $30,000 year‑to‑date; the district attorney's overtime line was clarified as $8,500 (the transcript contains an extra zero in one printed line that staff corrected in discussion); and jail overtime through the first quarter suggests a run rate nearing $808,000 if current trends continue. Commissioners asked about the causes (vacancies, temporary hires and past terminations) and said they will watch overtime and receive the quarterly reports for ongoing review.
