The Warren County New York Board of Supervisors Support Services Committee met on May 19, 2026, to discuss several procurement and budget-related items. Key actions included amending an IT services contract to remove fixed hourly rates for greater flexibility, approving a $20,000 reserve fund transfer for IT equipment upgrades, and transferring $3,000 within the IT budget for overtime related to training and transition activities. The committee also approved renewing a two-year contract with Fitzgerald Morris Baker Firth law firm for bond counsel services, noting cost savings and continuity of service. Additionally, funds were transferred from contingency to cover negotiated salary increases for police and corrections staff, and budget amendments were made to allocate insurance recoveries for law settlements and cyber liability claims. The committee approved awarding a workers' compensation contract to Prodigy Care and a legal services contract to a new law firm following the closure of a previous firm. These procurement decisions and budget adjustments reflect ongoing efforts to maintain flexible service contracts and address staffing and technology needs within the county.
