CSGI Committee Meeting - July 28, 2026

The Albany County Legislature held a CSGI Committee meeting on July 28, 2026, where several procurement-related items were discussed and approved. Key procurement actions included authorizing an intermunicipal agreement with the town of Westerlo concerning the Albany County Planning Board's non-referral list, and approving a contract award to LaBella Associates for professional consulting services to prepare the county's comprehensive plan. The comprehensive plan contract was awarded following a competitive RFP process with eight respondents, emphasizing a 20-year vision for land use, housing, and economic development. The committee discussed the importance of incorporating climate action planning, regional coordination, and local legislator input into the plan. The contract with LaBella will be managed with periodic updates to the legislature, and future updates to the plan may involve new procurements. No specific dollar amounts were mentioned in the transcript. Other agenda items included modifications to county agricultural districts, but these did not involve procurement decisions.
