Summary
Matilda Larson of the St. Lawrence County Planning Office presented a Septic Repair & Replacement Program during public comment; resident Larry Denesha said delays in transferring "state-ready" inmates are costing the county about $220 per inmate per day, with 23 state-ready inmates cited.
During the public comment period, Matilda Larson of the St. Lawrence County Planning Office presented information about the county's Septic Repair & Replacement Program to the Clifton Town Board. The presentation was delivered as part of public comment and the board accepted the information for consideration.
Also during public comment, resident Larry Denesha told the board that New York State is not transferring state-ready inmates from the St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility within the expected 10-day window. Denesha said the county pays about $220 per inmate per day while New York State reimburses $100 per day, and that as of June 9 there were 23 state-ready inmates in county custody, which he estimated at "approximately $69,000 per month." He also noted county-level actions including a resolution declaring June as Dairy Month and an engineering authorization for the county highway facility (CNS Engineers; engineering estimated roughly at $900,000).
