11.10.26 Full Legislature Meeting

The Monroe County Legislature’s November 10, 2026 meeting included several spending and contract actions. Legislators approved an agreement with Teamsters Local 118, which represents 20 probation supervisors, and passed an amendment revising prior legislative action on public works contracts for the Charcoal Exhibit and Main Entry Plaza Phase Two project; no contract value was stated. They also approved appropriation transfers and subaward grant amendments under the American Rescue Plan Act. The proposed 2027 county budget and employee compensation schedule were introduced for later consideration, the related resolution was tabled, and a public hearing on the proposed budget was set. The Pure Waters Administrative Board agenda was approved as a whole, with no individual items detailed in the transcript.

Public forum speakers urged the county to extend childcare assistance eligibility to two years and add $2 million for a housing assistance pilot; neither proposal was acted on during this meeting. Speakers also raised concerns about Seneca Park Zoo expansion and nearby construction. One speaker cited $67.6 million in county funding for a $135 million expansion and $31 million in authorized construction contracts associated with Crosby Brownlee; these were public-comment claims, not actions taken by the Legislature. Other comments addressed landfill methane mitigation and all-electric housing incentives, but no related procurement decisions were recorded.
