08.24.26 Intergovernmental Relations Committee Meeting

The Monroe County Legislature's Intergovernmental Relations Committee met on August 24, 2026, to discuss two intermunicipal agreements related to law enforcement cooperation. The first agreement authorized the City of Rochester Police Department to use the Monroe County Sheriff's Office explosive storage bunker. The second agreement involved cooperation between the Monroe County Sheriff's Office and Wayne County for police tactical team operations, including equipment sharing and joint training. The committee discussed the terms of the second agreement, particularly the automatic renewal clause allowing up to three additional one-year renewals without returning to the legislature for approval, which raised concerns among some members. Ultimately, the committee approved both agreements, with one legislator voting against the tactical team cooperation agreement due to the renewal provisions. No other procurement or budget matters were addressed during the meeting.
