Public Facilities Committee Meeting 07/13/26

The Chautauqua County Public Facilities Committee met on July 13, 2026, to discuss several procurement and budget-related matters. Key procurement discussions included authorization of a master hanger license agreement for aircraft storage at Jamestown Airport, approval of sewer district rate increases due to regulatory compliance and chemical cost rises, and budget-neutral accounting adjustments. The committee also approved increasing the petty cash fund at the South County Transfer Station and authorized a backup agreement with the Village of Westfield for landfill leachate treatment. Additionally, the committee reviewed and approved a lease agreement with 310 through 322 East Third Ventures LLC for an 85,000 square foot building in Jamestown to consolidate multiple county offices, including the South County Office Building and DMV, with plans for property improvements and parking lot upgrades. The lease includes full-service landlord responsibilities except for interior cleaning, and the county anticipates a rent increase compared to current costs. The meeting concluded with all resolutions carried by unanimous votes.
