06/22/2026 - Support Services Committee Meeting

The Warren County New York Support Services Committee meeting on June 22, 2026, focused primarily on procurement and budget matters related to vehicle purchases and financial management. The committee discussed a recently released bid for five vehicles—one for social services and four for health services—totaling approximately $140,000, with funding coming from the vehicle reserve and anticipated grant reimbursements. Motions were passed to appropriate $139,733 from the vehicle reserve and to amend the health and social services budgets by $50,624 to recognize payments toward these vehicle purchases. Additionally, the meeting covered the county's insurance reserve strategy for managing vehicle damage claims to minimize insurance costs, and a detailed financial report highlighted improvements in cash flow, investment returns, and budget forecasting. The discussion also touched on debt management, noting that $8 million of a $20 million bond was spent immediately while the remainder is earning interest. No new contracts or vendor selections were finalized during this meeting, but the committee emphasized ongoing efforts to strengthen financial controls and governance.
