Warren County supervisors approved a set of routine contracts, fee updates and budget transfers during their meeting, voting by voice on a slate of items that county staff said were intended to maintain continuity for elections, shared services and operations.
The Board of Elections requested renewing a printing contract with Fort Orange Printing for election materials, proposing three additional one-year extensions capped at $34,999 per year with no price increase from prior years. The clerk said Fort Orange has been a dependable vendor for election needs. The motion to bring the renewal to the floor was moved by Supervisor Strauss and seconded by Supervisor Mayday; the board approved the renewal by voice vote.
The board also amended Resolution 137 of 2024 to add the village of Lake George and the city of Glens Falls to a county shared-services agreement, allowing those municipalities to participate in shared services. The clerk introduced the amendment and it passed on a voice vote.
Supervisors agreed to amend Resolution 216 of 2023 to update the forensic autopsy and death-certificate charge billed by Glens Falls Hospital from $1,500 to $1,600; the clerk said the line on the prior resolution reflected $1,500 but the correct charge is $1,600. The motion was brought by Supervisor Straus with Supervisor Mayday seconding and passed by voice vote.
On routine budget matters, the treasurer requested a $9,600 transfer between budget codes (from A2430439 to A132422) to cover repair and maintenance equipment needs. The board approved the transfer by voice vote.
The county attorney also requested appropriating $10,000 from the insurance deductible reserve to cover smaller out-of-pocket settlement claims affecting probation and the District Attorney's office; the board approved that request by voice vote.
A small operational expense to sharpen a print-shop paper cutter for $36 was approved after the county administrator confirmed the cost is in the print shop budget.
What happens next: Each item was approved for implementation as described; where the record does not include detailed roll-call tallies the approvals were recorded as voice votes with members indicating 'aye.'
