October 8, 2026 Infrastructure, Facilities and Technology Committee Meeting-Regular Meeting

The Oswego County Legislature’s Infrastructure, Facilities and Technology Committee met on October 8, 2026. Members approved a utility easement and option agreement with Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation, doing business as National Grid, for the Tarill Transmission Line in New Haven, and approved a two-year temporary, non-exclusive license along a county railroad right-of-way to support a local farm’s operations. The committee also approved a $60,723 transfer from unappropriated funds for highway snow-and-ice expenses. A Solid Waste capital-project budget modification for transfer-station repairs was approved; staff reported a scale-replacement bid of about $149,000 and said bids for push-pit repairs and fire damage were still pending. The committee approved a uniform and mat rental bid after receiving one response, and a concrete bid with one response from Northern Ready. Fairbanks was identified as the intended awardee for a scale bid, but the transcript does not clearly capture the vote or final award. A snow-and-ice contract was moved forward to the legislative session, with its reimbursement and rate details still being finalized.

Other infrastructure updates included plans to bid courthouse work the following week; preparations to seek bids for replacement HVAC equipment at the 911 center; and airport projects planned for next year, including LED conversion and FAA-funded runway/taxiway marking work. Staff also reported that a potential state reimbursement of approximately $300,000 for the Hastings project had been submitted. The committee discussed a professional-services contract related to deteriorating retaining walls, but the transcript does not clearly establish the award outcome or amount.
