County Attorney to ask Government Operations Committee to amend travel plan for Counsel for Children training

Washington County's Government Operations Committee is scheduled to meet May 19, 2026, to consider a request from the County Attorney to amend the county travel plan so that staff may attend "Counsel for Children Trial Skills Training." The meeting was scheduled by Chair Nathaniel C. Baker and will convene in Room B214 of County Office Building B in Fort Edward, immediately following the IT Committee meeting that follows the Ag/Planning meeting scheduled for 10:00 a.m. The session will be livestreamed on the county YouTube channel listed in the meeting memo.

The memo lists the travel-plan amendment as an agenda item but does not provide the County Attorney's name, the proposed amendment language, estimated costs, or the number of employees who would travel. Because those details are not specified in the notice, the committee will consider the request with those particulars expected to be provided at the meeting or in accompanying materials. The agenda entry reads: "County Attorney ' Request to Amend Travel Plan for Counsel for Children Trial Skills Training."

No formal action or vote is recorded in the memo. The committee is expected to discuss the request and may vote to approve, modify, or refer the amendment for additional review. If the committee takes formal action, any vote tally and the mover/second will be part of the meeting record.
