Greene County committee meetings, October 13, 2026, included presentation of the tentative FY2027 budget and votes on several service and infrastructure items. The proposed budget totals $157,799,174, up about $13.69 million (9.5%) from the prior year, with no property-tax increase proposed. The budget officer cited approximately $1.9 million to expand ambulance transportation with one or two equipped ambulances, $500,000 for highway services and fleet needs, and increases for mandated social-service and pension costs. The county plans to use fund balance for a new ambulance fund, while noting that another revenue source may be needed after FY2029. The budget was submitted for a public hearing scheduled for October 28; it was not adopted at this meeting.

The County Services Committee approved a resolution supporting the Veterans Memorial Expansion Project at historic Catskill Point. The project design preserves existing memorial stones; the committee discussed, but did not decide on, potential additions such as a larger flagpole. Officials said they had contacted multiple firms, received no responses from some, and obtained design work from a local landscape architect; construction work was to be bid. The committee also considered Human Services funding amendments and an agreement with Columbia County Community Health Care Consortium, Inc. to support senior transportation, with a focus on non-emergency medical trips. Public Works discussed ongoing bridge, road, and waste-facility projects, and approved a proposal from Evergreen Mountain Contracting, Inc. for slope stabilization on County Route 30 and a supplemental CDMCM agreement for additional bridge-rehabilitation services; no contract amounts were stated. Special committees also passed resolutions supporting proposed legislation on certain semi-synthetic alkaloids and opposing the discontinuation of Verizon copper landline service in Greene County.
