Physical Services Committee Meeting - June 15, 2026 - Putnam County Legislature, NY

The Physical Services Committee of the Putnam County Legislature met on June 15, 2026, to discuss several agenda items primarily related to agricultural district inclusions, utility easements, budgetary amendments, and property sales. The committee reviewed and recommended approval for the inclusion of ten parcels totaling 36.3 acres into the Putnam County Agricultural District, with detailed discussions on the viability and operations of each farm. They emphasized that inclusion in the agricultural district does not alter zoning or grant commercial operation rights without town approvals. Additionally, the committee approved a utility easement for NYS power line relocation related to the Sto Avenue bridge replacement project. Budgetary amendments were approved to fund a bridge restoration project with an allocation of $437,960 and to accept a donation for a statue restoration. The committee also addressed the sale of county property at 34 Ganer Avenue, ultimately moving forward with a motion to not proceed with the sale at this time but planning further discussion. Finally, the committee approved a required safety compliance plan for the public transportation system. Motions on all procurement and budget-related items were passed unanimously.
