# Otsego County HSC Committee Meeting 11/10/2026

The Otsego County Health and Human Services Committee met on November 10, 2026, to consider 2027 human-services contracts and budget items. The committee approved several contracts, including Dr. Silverman’s psychological services ($50,000), Community Maternity Services’ parent-education extension ($214,596), and Crossroads Inn emergency housing for 2027–2031 (not to exceed $2,162,625). It also approved a five-year Crossroads Inn case-management contract (not to exceed $1,234,627) and a waiver of the purchasing policy to maintain continuity of care. Other approved items included Veterans Services ($41,500), Medicaid long-term-care and in-home services through the provider identified in the transcript as “Magnaz Aging” ($154,695), and 2027 contracts with home-care, meal, transportation, adult-day-health, legal-aid, repair, and printing providers. Legal-aid funding was increased from $12,500 to $19,500; the senior-meals contract is in its final one-year extension, with an RFP planned for next summer or fall. A probation-related item was skipped because the position had been removed from the budget.

The committee also approved budget transfers and amendments that included state-aid increases of $4,915, $1,421, and $46,174. Public health received approval to renew its VMC transportation contract for up to $130,545, with 59.5% reimbursed through state aid. The committee approved a one-year Patagonia Health electronic-health-record subscription after being advised that a longer subscription required an RFP; the agency plans to pursue that RFP next year. Members also discussed staffing shortages, budget pressures, and increased HEAP call volume. The transcript does not clearly establish the outcome of every staffing-related motion.
