Legislative Board Meeting - June 2026

The Lewis County Legislative Board held a meeting on June 3, 2026, which included various reports and discussions but limited direct procurement activity. Key procurement-related items included the approval of Resolution 135 authorizing an interfund loan financing and memorandum of understanding between Lewis County and the Lewis County Highway Department for county machinery equipment purchases, structured as a five-year repayment plan without interest. Additionally, Resolution 136 was passed, calling for amendments to the New York State host community benefit program to increase annual fees and extend benefits to better support local residents, particularly in relation to renewable energy projects. The meeting also featured updates on county EMS services, hospital financials, and potential establishment of a DMV office at Fort Drum, but no new contract awards or RFPs were discussed. The board approved claims totaling over $2.3 million and addressed budgetary considerations related to state funding and county operations.
