Albany County Legislature Public Works Committee meeting, September 29, 2026. The committee unanimously approved $40,000 in funding for the child passenger safety program: $33,000 is for car-seat purchases, and the remainder supports supplies for the annual safety event. Car seats are distributed to qualifying low-income recipients, who must provide proof of income. This was the meeting’s identified purchasing-related action; no vendor or contract was named.

The committee also unanimously approved a policy establishing a process for naming and dedicating county-owned buildings, with discussion of adding safeguards concerning current elected officials and procedures for removing names or addressing property sales. Members said revisions would be made before the measure’s later passage. The committee approved separate dedications of the Cohoes Community Center in honor of a legislator and the interfaith sanctuary in honor of a former state senator.
