# County Govt || Public Works || September 21, 2026

The Columbia County Board of Supervisors meeting, including its Public Works Committee (metadata dated September 21, 2026; the transcript itself refers to October), covered county technology, highway, solid-waste, engineering, and facilities matters. The county approved use of MIS’s NinjaRMM for remote access to assessors’ computers, replacing LogMeIn at about $200 per computer annually; installation would cost about $13 per computer where needed and be handled by the county. Highway reported paving, pavement marking, chip-seal, and guardrail work, and discussed a new pavement-marking contract and salt-supply bidding conditions. No new highway resolution requests were presented. Solid Waste reported a $43,061.80 invoice for household hazardous-waste day and said it would need to extend its garbage contract with Casella for next year. Motions were approved to adjust mattress-related pricing, garbage charges, and roll-off container rental rates; the transcript does not clearly preserve the approved prices.

Engineering reported that bridge repair bid documents were still being finalized, with bid dates not yet available. Two Empire State Development grants of $500,000 each support a water/sewer improvement project, while potential 2027 federal airport funding applications are being scaled back and may include a snowplow and truck and design work for a snow-removal equipment building. The contractor, Call Russo and Sons, agreed to hold its price until spring for airport paving work. A resolution for special inspections associated with renovations was approved. The county also installed signage acknowledging New York State DEC recycling-grant support for a solid-waste facility upgrade. Other procurement-related votes included approval of a vacant maintenance-worker position and authorization for a facilities purchase and installation, though the transcript garbles the item’s description and provides no amount.
