Human Services Committee Meeting - March 19, 2026

The Allegany County New York Human Services Committee met on March 19, 2026, but did not have a quorum to conduct votes. The meeting included updates from the Office for the Aging and Public Health Department, highlighting service hours, tax program outcomes, and upcoming community events. Significant procurement-related discussions involved acceptance and appropriation of a $31,252 federal grant for children and youth with special healthcare needs, renewal of various contracts including preventive services with Hillside, child advocacy support with the Cattaraugus County Sheriff's Office, and a contract with the University of Rochester Medical for mandated medical oversight at the child advocacy center. The committee also discussed contract amendments and budget modifications, such as a $25,000 gap funding amendment with Accord for non-domestic violence services. Staffing requests to fill key public health positions were noted but no votes were taken due to lack of quorum. The meeting concluded with plans to reconvene for a special session to approve motions and contracts.
