Livingston County Board of Supervisors Meeting - Feb. 25, 2026

The Livingston County Board of Supervisors held a meeting on February 25, 2026, which included a public hearing on extending a 3% tax on short-term rentals under 14 days, as permitted by New York State Tax Law. The board reviewed and approved meeting minutes and an abstract of claims. A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to the presentation and adoption of the updated Kenishious Lake Watershed Management Plan, a two-year effort involving multiple stakeholders to protect the county's water resources. The plan highlighted past successes in securing approximately $9.5 million in grants and municipal funding for water quality projects and outlined new recommendations incorporating advanced technologies. The board passed related resolutions, including contract authorizations and budget amendments for the highway and sheriff's office. Additionally, updates on county staffing recruitments were provided, including the filling of the deputy director of finance position and the posting for a county attorney. No specific vendor names or contract dollar amounts were detailed beyond the general grant funding mentioned for watershed projects.
