Human Resources & Insurance 6/3/2026

The Saratoga County Human Resources & Insurance meeting held on June 3, 2026, primarily focused on updates related to workers' compensation claims and settlements. The report highlighted a decrease in total payouts compared to the previous year and detailed the status of the 15-8 buyout funds from New York State, including settlements that have resulted in approximately $1.1 million in savings. Additionally, the meeting addressed the Maplewood Manor settlement project, noting that most claims have been closed with a few remaining at a monthly cost to the county. A significant procurement-related discussion involved the District Attorney's office proposing a new compensation plan to create a second assistant attorney position by reclassifying an existing assistant district attorney line to an assistant attorney line, resulting in short-term salary savings. This plan includes provisions for the new hire to work in a limited capacity until fully admitted to the bar, with the position reverting to the original classification in the next fiscal year. The motion to adopt this compensation plan was moved and seconded, and the meeting was adjourned with all in favor.
