Summary

The committee authorized an RFP to solicit best uses of JUUL settlement funds and approved new and renewed preschool therapy contracts at established session rates, including one‑to‑one aide rates for GIG Healthcare.

Public Health Director Matt Marmor asked the committee to authorize issuing a Request for Proposal to solicit proposals for the best uses of JUUL settlement funds, proposing Attorney General‑approved categories and a filter for evidence‑based practices. Marmor said the county has an ongoing partnership with the Steuben County Prevention Coalition and suggested school‑based education beginning at the middle school level as a potential use. The committee approved the RFP motion 5‑0.

Marmor also requested and the committee approved three new preschool therapy contracts (speech and physical therapists) at $70 per individual session and $35 per individual in group sessions, and renewed contracts for Monica Stewart, Michelle Sullivan and GIG Healthcare at the same rates. GIG Healthcare provides one‑to‑one aide services at $9 per half hour. The committee approved an amendment to the Wayland‑Cohocton Central School District preschool‑related services contract to add one‑to‑one aide services retroactive to November 2025 through June 30, 2026 at $9 per half hour.

What happens next: county staff will issue the RFP per committee authorization and complete contract documents and renewals as approved.
