Votes at a glance: committee approves routine reenrollments, grants, appointment and a grant‑funded caseworker
At the May 1 meeting the committee approved the following items by voice vote or moved them to finance as noted:

- Medicare reenrollment for immunization billing: S12 requested permission to reenroll with Medicare and pay the $750 enrollment fee (included in the 2026 budget). The motion was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote (no roll‑call recorded). (See SEG 744–769.)

- Immunization Action Plan mini‑grant application: S12 requested permission to apply for a New York State Association of County Health Officials mini‑grant (no county match; up to $5,000). The committee approved the application. (See SEG 1433–1445.)

- Children & Youth with Special Health Care Needs contract: S12 said the county received a five‑year contract totaling $322,000 (year 1: $89,393) and requested adding year‑one funds to the 2026 budget; the item was moved to finance for processing. (See SEG 1446–1460.)

- Appointment to Aging Advisory Council: The committee recommended appointing Barbara Price (of Broadage) to the advisory council for a term retroactive to January 2026; the appointment was approved by voice vote. (See SEG 1548–1565.)

- Grant‑funded part‑time caseworker assistant for homeless services: S6 proposed using an existing family‑centered case management services grant (contract currently funding a nonprofit) to create a part‑time county caseworker (no county match). The motion to create the position, with personnel‑committee follow‑up and a contingency that the position ends if the grant ends, was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote. (See SEG 2180–2232.)

Where the transcript recorded only a voice vote, the committee recorded "all in favor, aye" with no roll‑call tally provided in the minutes. No formal recorded no votes or roll‑call counts were transcribed for these items.
