Board of Supervisors Meeting May 27, 2026

The Delaware County Board of Supervisors held a meeting on May 27, 2026, which included several presentations and recognitions but limited direct procurement activity. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to a detailed presentation on watershed management and the Safe Drinking Water Act, focusing on New York City's water supply system, filtration avoidance, and related regulatory compliance. The discussion highlighted the importance of land ownership and watershed protection programs to maintain unfiltered water status, referencing costly filtration infrastructure such as the Croton filtration plant. The meeting also included the retirement recognition of Deputy Commissioner Paul Rush, who played a key role in water supply negotiations and watershed management. The board approved resolutions related to the disposition of personal property by the Department of Buildings and Grounds and supported a congressional recognition resolution for the Lawrence Welk Show. No new contracts, RFPs, or vendor selections were reported during this session, but ongoing watershed and water supply infrastructure considerations may influence future procurement and capital projects.
