The Allegany Ways & Means Committee convened on February 19, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including annual contracts and scheduling changes for upcoming board meetings.

The meeting began with a discussion regarding the annual contract with the Association for the Blind and Visually Handicapped. Carissa presented the contract, noting that the necessary funds had already been budgeted for this annual payment. The committee unanimously approved the contract with no questions raised.

Following this, the Clerk of the Board introduced two resolutions for consideration. The first resolution proposed changing the date of the first board meeting in May from Wednesday, May 14, to Wednesday, May 7, at 10 AM. This adjustment was necessary to allow the Clerk and Deputy Clerk to attend an annual conference. The committee confirmed that the Ways and Means meetings would still occur on May 14 at 9 AM, with regular afternoon meetings continuing as scheduled. The resolution was passed without opposition.

The second resolution requested a change to the date of the second board meeting in July, moving it from Wednesday, July 23, to Thursday, July 17. This change was made to facilitate the annual board meeting at the county fair, marking the sixteenth consecutive year for this tradition. The committee approved this resolution as well, again with no dissent.

The meeting concluded with a reminder of the upcoming monthly session where the county administrator would be available for questions and discussions from the committee members. Overall, the meeting was efficient, with all proposed changes and contracts receiving unanimous support.
