09/22/2026 Committee Meetings - Health Services

The Warren County New York Health Services Committee meeting on September 22, 2026, focused primarily on public health concerns and budgetary matters. Key procurement-related discussions included approval to amend a contract with Countryside Adult Home to increase the meal service budget from $180,000 to $188,000 and raise the cost per meal to $6 starting January 2027. The committee also reviewed the 2027 departmental budget requests, noting mostly flat expenses with some increases in contracts, including a $100,000 proposed increase for the Salvation Army due to operational deficits. Several contracts were proposed for discontinuation or consolidation to reduce costs, such as those with the Association for the Blind and local transportation contracts, which would be integrated into a new social transportation program. Additionally, the committee authorized a $16,500 contract with Hardin Mazati Arena for an anti-vaping campaign and approved resolutions to accept and manage state funding extensions. Discussions also covered public health program expenditures, including salary and equipment costs, and the adoption of a pet policy to protect volunteer drivers. No new procurement vehicles or major capital projects were discussed, but the meeting included motions and votes on contract amendments and budget allocations affecting vendor services and program funding.
