The Allegany County Personnel Committee recorded several formal actions on Feb. 4:
- CARES UP grant acceptance (Onward Ops): Motion to accept and appropriate a New York State CARES UP award totaling $60,000 ($30,000 in FY2026 and $30,000 in FY2027). The committee approved the appropriation by voice vote. No local match was required; budget modification lines were included on the MOE.
- Memorandum of agreement (Onward Ops data platform): Motion to accept the MOA that governs access to a $20,000 data‑tracking platform funded through the grant. County counsel reviewed the MOA with modifications; the committee approved acceptance by voice vote.
- Hiring actions: Motions to replace two senior recording clerks (fully budgeted county positions) and to convert a current part‑time motor vehicle cashier/examiner to full time on a temporary basis (through approximately August) were approved by voice vote. The clerk stated these positions are financed through county funds and reimbursed by departmental fees.
Votes were taken by voice; recorded committee responses were announced as 'Aye' for each motion. The committee had a quorum present for these actions.
