County accepts criminal-justice, traffic operations and public defense grants
Summary
The Legislature accepted several grants including a New York State Aid to Crime Laboratories grant for the Office of the Medical Examiner and multiple Aid to Defense grants to support public defense and discovery reform; funding mechanisms and committee votes are recorded in the transcript.
Monroe County accepted a sequence of state and federal grants intended to support criminal-justice functions and regional traffic operations. The County accepted a New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services Aid to Crime Laboratories grant for the Office of the Medical Examiner and several Aid to Defense grants to support the Offices of the Public Defender, Conflict Defender, and the Assigned Counsel Program, plus an Aid to Defense Discovery Reform grant.
Legislators Hasman, Long and Maffucci appeared as sponsors or co-introducers of the resolutions; committee records show unanimous or near-unanimous committee approvals prior to final action. The Legislature also accepted federal and state aid for operation and maintenance of the James R. Pond Regional Traffic Operations Center. Where committee records show members declaring interests, the transcript notes those declarations (for example, Legislator Ciardi declared an interest prior to certain votes). Specific award amounts were not included in the meeting transcript.
