Summary

The committee amended and approved Resolution 398 to authorize one deputy sheriff to serve as a school resource officer at Walk Hill Central School District, reducing a prior two‑deputy proposal to one and directing budget adjustments later in Ways & Means.

The committee approved Resolution 398 authorizing the chair to execute an agreement with the Walk Hill Central School District to provide one deputy sheriff as a school resource officer. Chair Clinton said the resolution was amended to reduce the allotment from two deputies to one; members said the allocation will be updated in the Ways & Means review to reflect the lower staffing level and corresponding funding.

Legislators emphasized the importance of finalizing the agreement before the school year begins. The motion to adopt as amended passed without recorded opposition; the amount associated with the agreement will be adjusted later in the county budget review process.
