Committee approves intermunicipal agreements for food waste diversion pilot with school districts, BOCES
Summary
Monroe County's Environment & Public Works Committee unanimously (7‑0) authorized intermunicipal agreements with county public school districts and the Board of Cooperative Educational Services to implement a Food Waste Diversion Grant pilot program. The motion was sponsored by County Executive Adam J. Bello.
The committee on Feb. 24, 2025 approved legislation authorizing intermunicipal agreements between Monroe County, its public school districts, and the Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) to carry out a Food Waste Diversion Grant pilot program. County Executive Adam J. Bello sponsored the item, which was adopted by the committee, 7‑0.
Legislator Rose Bonnick moved the item and Legislator Howard Maffucci seconded; the minutes record the motion as adopted, 7‑0. The minutes do not specify the size of the grant, specific participating districts, or the expected start date; those details were not included in the committee record and are therefore "not specified." The administration representatives present included Adrienne Green (Legislative Liaison) and Robert Franklin (CFO), among others.
The pilot is described in the agenda as a "Food Waste Diversion Grant Pilot Program" and would rely on intermunicipal agreements between the county and school districts/BOCES. The minutes do not record public comment, amendments, or conditions attached to the authorization.
