Public Safety committee approves multiple SRO agreements, grant capital projects and travel authorization
Summary
The committee approved a slate of authorizations for the Greene County Sheriff's Office to provide SRO coverage with several central school districts, established Homeland Security capital projects and approved out-of-state travel for an emergency-services deputy.
During the Public Safety portion of the meeting the committee considered and voice-approved a series of authorizations to enter agreements between the Greene County Sheriff's Office and local school districts for school resource officer (SRO) coverage, including Carroll Durham, Catskill Central, Koksaki (Kooksaki spelling variants in packet), Greenville Central, Hunter–Tannersville and Windham/Jewett districts. The clerk moved the motions and members responded with voice votes recorded as carried.
The committee also authorized out-of-state travel for Dan King, deputy director of emergency services, and established capital projects tied to a state homeland security grant program and a public-safety answering point capital project covering 2025 and 2026. All listed items were carried by voice vote with no roll-call tallies recorded in the transcript.
Committee members closed public safety after the approvals and noted implementation will proceed through the Sheriff's Office and emergency-services administration.
