Committee approves $4 million advance for Wyoming County Community Hospital
Summary
The Finance Committee approved a $4.0 million Due To/Due From advance for Wyoming County Community Hospital—$2.0M for accounts‑payable relief and $2.0M for a surgical‑suite transformation grant—to be repaid when state DPT funds or FEMA reconciliation arrive.
The Wyoming County Finance Committee voted unanimously (7–0, one absent) on June 2 to approve a $4.0 million Due To/Due From advance requested by Wyoming County Community Hospital. The funding was structured as $2.0 million for accounts‑payable relief and $2.0 million for a transformation grant to support surgical‑suite work. Roche moved the resolution and the motion carried with seven ayes and one absence (Supervisor Leuer).
Hospital representatives listed in the meeting record (J. Perry and M. Wright) requested the advance and the minutes state "*WCCH would repay the Advance Funding when NYS releases the 2026 DPT funding or FEMA disburses the final reconciliation funds.*" The committee did not set additional conditions in the minutes; Budget Officer J. Cook noted a related cash‑advance resolution would only be required if the advance remained unpaid at the end of 2026.
The approved action was recorded as a formal resolution by the committee. Next steps in the minutes call for WCCH to reconcile the advance with state and federal disbursements when those funds become available.
