10.26.26 Intergovernmental Relations Committee Meeting

The Monroe County Legislature’s Intergovernmental Relations Committee met on October 26, 2026. It approved Referral 26-0322, authorizing an appropriation and interfund transfer for the Thomas Avenue project: approximately $400,000 for design and construction from the County sidewalk fund and $434,000 from the Town of Irondequoit. A legislator requested the remaining balance in the sidewalk fund, and the administration agreed to provide that information before the full Legislature meeting. The referral carried without opposition.

The committee also approved intermunicipal agreements for additional deputy coverage and targeted traffic enforcement in Henrietta (26-0327), an amendment increasing and extending the City of Rochester’s county historian services agreement (26-0338), and agreements with other counties for forensic laboratory services from the Monroe County Crime Laboratory (26-0344). No dollar amounts were stated for these agreements. The forensic lab discussion clarified that the referral concerned the crime lab, not the medical examiner’s office; the item was moved, seconded, and approved. No other procurement or spending decisions were identified.
