Public Facilities Committee Meeting 09/14/2026

The Chautauqua County Public Facilities Committee met on September 14, 2026, to discuss several procurement and capital improvement projects. Key topics included a grant amendment for the terminal building renovation at Jamestown Airport, where federal and state funding was reduced but supplemented by other grants to maintain the project scope. The committee also reviewed a resolution to contract Beck Electric, a county-approved vendor, for installation of generators and transfer switches at five sewer pump houses, with generator bids due shortly. Additionally, the committee discussed a contract with the Buffalo Sewer Authority for landfill leachate treatment, noting increased costs and potential future regulatory impacts. Finally, the committee considered a resolution to authorize serial bond issuance for capital projects already included in the 2026 budget, a procedural step required before borrowing funds. No votes were taken on the airport grant amendment, but resolutions related to sewer generator installation and leachate treatment contracts were approved. The bond authorization resolution was discussed but deferred to other committees for further consideration.
