Committee moves $350,000 into bridge fund to substitute bridge project in 2027 program
Summary
Ulster County approved a $350,000 transfer from the general fund into the bridge fund to substitute a bridge project the county can no longer perform in-house; DPW will bring a broader bridge-condition report next month.
Resolution 444 establishes Capital Project 774 (bridge superstructure replacement) and transfers $350,000 from the general fund to the bridge fund for a bridge project substitution. Deputy Director Perdi said the submission substitutes for an earlier 2027 bridge that can no longer be completed in-house and that the department will return next month to edit prior submissions accordingly.
Legislator Stewart asked about overall bridge conditions in the county and referenced a comptroller report that suggested Ulster County has many bridges in need of attention; Director Doyle (Planning/Transportation Council) urged a comprehensive DPW update and recommended the county consider regional funding dynamics for locally owned bridges. The administration agreed to provide a detailed bridges report at the next meeting. The resolution passed with the legislator who had to leave not voting (noted 4–0 vote where applicable).
