Audit & Control Committee Meeting 10/22/26

Chautauqua County Audit & Control Committee meeting, October 22, 2026: The committee approved an amended six-month lease of airport parking-lot space to FedEx for $800 per month. It also approved five-year capital improvement plans for the Dunkirk and Jamestown airports, covering runway and apron work, obstruction removal, snow-removal equipment, navigation equipment, fencing and signage; most projects are expected to receive 90% federal and 5% state funding, with a 5% local share. The committee considered an amendment for replacement backup generators at five sewer pump stations after bids came in below estimates; the work has an 18–20-week lead time, and district expenses are funded by user fees. It approved a $1 million county infrastructure grant for Phase 3 of the Center Lake Sewer District extension, part of a project approved at approximately $35.6 million, and authorized a lease agreement with the City of Jamestown for Public Defender office space (no lease amount was stated).
