# Audit and Finance Committee Meeting - November 10, 2026

The Albany County Legislature’s Audit and Finance Committee reviewed proposed changes to agency budgets for 2027 and voted on departments individually. Most items were approved as amended, including the County Clerk, District Attorney, Public Defender, Assigned Counsel, Health, Mental Health, Aging, Veterans Bureau, Parks and Recreation, Storm Water, and Ethics Commission budgets. The transcript does not identify contract awards or vendor selections. Members noted that a contract for the countywide GoGoGrandparent senior transportation program was expected at the next CAD meeting in December 2026, using unspent 2026 funds; $75,000 was described as the planned funding for the program in 2027.

A motion to add another $100,000 for GoGoGrandparent failed, with two in favor and seven opposed. Members discussed restoring $20,000 to the Veterans Bureau budget for existing programs and activities, and an allocation of $100,000 for the Ethics Commission, whose intended uses were not clearly specified in the discussion; the commission budget was approved. The committee also approved multiple agency budget changes, but the transcript does not provide a complete breakdown of amounts or identify further procurement actions.
