Otsego County PSLA Committee Meeting 4/16/2026

The Otsego County Public Safety and Legal Affairs Committee met on April 16, 2026, to discuss several procurement and budget-related items. Key procurement actions included approval of a $2,500 payment for the annual Stop DWI run, authorization of a three-year contract funded through the Office of Mental Health grant, and approval of a firewall upgrade contract not to exceed $3,467,851 funded by the NextG 911 grant. The committee also authorized awarding a tower foundation and erection contract to Shoemaker Construction for $126,500 from the SICG grant and approved funding for dash cams on ambulances at $9,240 annually for three years from EMS contracts. Additionally, the purchase of four new Toughbooks for EMS at $16,771.12 was approved, with a budget transfer from contingency funds to cover part of the cost. A budget transfer of $3,140 from fund balance to the emergency services equipment fund was also approved. The meeting included a detailed presentation on jail classification and correctional facility standards, but no direct procurement actions arose from that discussion. The committee emphasized ongoing collaboration on contracts related to assigned counsel programs and grant reimbursements for defense services.
