Most resolutions were approved by voice vote or roll call without extended debate. Resolutions included routine reappointments (commissioners, directors and advisory board members), designation of county newspapers (pursuant to referenced county law provision), designation of county depositories, and several budget amendment transfers for the sheriff’s office, public works and probation department. The board also authorized implementation and funding of transportation projects that may be eligible for federal or state aid, including reimbursement from Bridge New York funds.

Resolution 13 accepted funding from \"Friends of Recovery\" dedicated dollars for the Department of Mental Health; members described the funding as a substantial infusion directed to local mental-health and substance-use services and noted the funds must be funneled through county mental-health programming.

Resolution 19 authorized hiring an outside third-party vendor for pending litigation matters. That item prompted brief discussion, with an unidentified supervisor asking, \"Isn't this kind of an open ended resolution?\" and another asking whether insurance coverage for the litigation had been confirmed. A second unidentified supervisor said, \"I personally feel that we're calling residents should not be responsible for this cost associated with the litigation.\" Board members noted some aspects remained pending with insurers, but the resolution was adopted by voice vote.

The final resolution submitted at the meeting covered payment of the audit and was approved by roll call. At the close of business a supervisor stated a desire for an attorney-client consultation; the board confirmed there would be no further public business at the meeting and that any attorney-client consultation would be handled appropriately.

Molay was elected and sworn in as chairman of the Delaware County Board of Supervisors during the board’s organizational meeting called to organize for 2025. County Clerk Haley Gransberry administered the oath of office after members nominated and voted to close nominations and elect Molay.

Molay opened the regular portion of the meeting with a wide-ranging statement about county operations and services and thanked department heads and staff for their work. \"I attribute this success to the talents, professionalism, and expertise of our department head and our staff,\" Molay said, listing county programs such as the municipal composting facility, a county-run drone program used for search-and-rescue and flood assessment, and multiyear capital projects that recently reached completion.

The board also elected other officers for the year: a vice chairman was approved by voice vote; Penny Fisher was reappointed clerk of the board; and Arthur Merrill (listed in nominations) was approved as budget officer. Following the officer elections, Molay announced a set of appointments and reappointments to county boards and advisory bodies, including reappointments and appointments to the Delaware County Industrial Development Agency, the Local Development Corporation, the Planning Board, the Health Services Advisory Board, the Soil & Water Conservation District Board, the Tourism Advisory Board and the Youth Bureau. Several named reappointments were announced publicly during the meeting, including Michael O'Brien (IDA), Bruce Dolf and Art Edel (Planning Board), and supervisors Wayland Gladstone and James Ellis on other panels.

Molay used the organizational remarks to highlight past investments and county accomplishments, including completion of Department of Public Works facilities and Department of Social Services facilities and a range of ARPA-funded projects. He said those ARPA projects \"included funding to support local farmers, preservation of historically significant structures, enhancement of broadband services across the county, improved county infrastructure, a commitment to strategic planning for our future, and support of our county fairgrounds.\" The chairman closed by urging continued cooperation as the board faces new state mandates and rising costs.

The invocation for the meeting was delivered by Chaplain Donna Ladner, and Glenn Faulkner led the pledge of allegiance prior to the elections and remarks. The board moved immediately from organizational formalities into the regular meeting agenda after the oaths and committee appointments were announced.","At its organizational meeting the Delaware County Board of Supervisors elected and sworn in leadership, approved committee and board appointments and heard outgoing remarks from the new chairman that highlighted county services and capital projects.","actionData","errors"]
