Committee members discussed whether to add the topic to next month’s agenda but did not place it there due to insufficient backing.

The request was introduced by a resident identified in the transcript as Maurice (last name unclear) who provided a local Queensbury address and asked to speak at the privilege-of-the-floor portion of a future county meeting. The chair noted the committee’s rules for placing items on the agenda and solicited support from committee members.

Committee members expressed different views: one supervisor noted they did not believe Medicaid cuts had been enacted to date and described uncertainty about whether cuts were coming; another suggested keeping the item on the agenda as a contingency to allow discussion if concrete cuts were proposed. The chair said he needed four supporting committee members to place the matter on next month’s agenda and, seeing no clear support, did not add it.

No formal motion, resolution, or vote on Medicaid policy was taken at the May 30 meeting. The matter remains eligible for future agenda consideration if a member gathers sufficient support or if the county receives specific notice of federal or state action affecting Medicaid funding.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Warren County 05/30/2025 Committee Meetings - Legislative, Rules & Gov Ops","oneSentenceSummary","A resident asked the committee to lend support to prevent Medicaid defunding; committee members debated but did not put the item on next month’s agenda because they lacked sufficient support.","taxTitle","Warren County, New York","taxId",5049,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6203500,"Proposal to mirror Orleans County opioid resolution discussed; committee opts not to place on next agenda but requests health-department briefing",123,755000,878000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3782984-995f0101ae82ba070858178f613ff3f2&start=755&end=878","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3782984-995f0101ae82ba070858178f613ff3f2/thumbnail_755000.jpg","/articles/6203500/Warren-County/New-York/Proposal-to-mirror-Orleans-County-opioid-resolution-discussed-committee-opts-not-to-place-on-next-agenda-but-requests-health-department-briefing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6203500-e3f490193602dd43eef3364500a15d29/orig.mp4?Expires=1771137145&Signature=IxY90Kr96oNdmFwlAbabS6lC5AqT3EtxmW27I7wv1zanxhACZK7eNm~VBUpKPcV0ZcFmcBiB30Asa3FYP~4Qs5IZ3gon4MhVMk1EH~ZYwqJDI-Ce8mgoGOhBGLPzoYAzFXkb0Gv166wa3AA2SOaCQ70hlYQtD4gw8uu4e2mOCwHZZHKQbJxwa2aIa5caC9RMkkiQcIIBgZh3NLMO5kprmRaYE4V3jvq3mq88o1GnlI4I8YVcodsAuMh~6JM5wJtg39PHBoy8eZmBFHbQDTTi~vN-eXLm7uO7XeRvtvmguLxnwu933fru6lJcWsLFayr0zz6IG-PBOZgyqkg1GRaPMA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Supervisor Thomas proposed that the Legislative Rules and Governmental Operations Committee consider a resolution similar to one adopted in Orleans County urging New York state officials to expand standing orders to include all FDA-approved opioid antagonists and to support related legislation.

Supervisor Thomas summarized the proposed resolve language and cited statistics and concerns about fentanyl, saying that in 2022 “90 percent of all opioid deaths are fentanyl related.” The draft resolution the supervisor described would ask Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Department of Health to expand the state standing order to include all FDA-approved opioid reversal agents and would direct the clerk to transmit copies of the resolution to the governor and appropriate state representatives.

The committee considered whether there was support to place the resolution on next month’s agenda; the chair said he needed at least four supporting committee members to do so. The count of supporters did not produce a clear majority during the meeting, and the item was not advanced as a formal agenda item at that time.

Committee members asked for more factual context before advancing a resolution. Jennifer (a staff member on the record) suggested someone from the health department be invited to give the committee a sense of the county’s opioid situation. Committee members recommended inviting Rob Dork (mental-health department staff) because his department administers both restricted and unrestricted opioid funding for the county.

No formal motion or resolution was adopted during the May 30 meeting; the committee recorded the proposal and the request to schedule a briefing from county health or mental-health staff as the next step.","A supervisor proposed drafting a Warren County resolution urging the state to expand standing orders for opioid antagonists; the committee did not place the resolution on next month’s agenda but agreed to invite health staff to brief the committee about local opioid conditions.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6203505,"Committee discusses creating alternate site policy for nonviolent speech; no policy drafted yet",163,295000,458000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3782984-995f0101ae82ba070858178f613ff3f2&start=295&end=458","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3782984-995f0101ae82ba070858178f613ff3f2/thumbnail_295000.jpg","/articles/6203505/Warren-County/New-York/Committee-discusses-creating-alternate-site-policy-for-nonviolent-speech-no-policy-drafted-yet","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6203505-f55decfccbc33983ca94157b31f592a3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771137145&Signature=fNFIVuEzpF6OuUJ~NcVh0DM0On6qsLn54No7pv2gsE-5fRW1OqMEpUTyk28demq5~0~d68MJIjJKncWa5Ch5pPHQip7S555SWUlykYBwCzChwEI1IwgTYz6XtkH7RHtjU6LCv5YZhSb9W5A1Pt3FJVZI~7eSNcNoMrS4uhDUVTIMyYCAzkcUd7eMbz0ebJEuOA1lmja1kwhOr49a6D7afQp1qblOaFr9R5BZM9sRJ8gxdDQUYQy01KfcfCLVPASR91FzgmFaLYo7QZef1zKyU28HkR8uJ0WSYohxg2dgZMxFAJ9yYcob5zw3Xv2SgkTQd3Xj-X2yU7GwspqiVsgWEQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Members of the Warren County Legislative Rules and Governmental Operations Committee discussed whether to develop a policy allowing an alternate site for nonviolent, non-hate speech at county facilities, but the committee did not adopt or direct a finalized draft during the May 30 meeting.

Supervisor Stroud introduced the item, asking whether the county “want[s] to discuss a policy that will allow room for the development of an alternate site” for protected, nonviolent speech. Committee members debated whether to put the issue on the agenda for the next meeting so staff could produce a draft policy for consideration.

One committee member said they “concur with Supervisor Turner” that the group should avoid inventing policy on the fly and that staff and committee members should work together on a draft. Another committee member said a policy “needs to be developed before you get the pledge in my mind,” indicating a preference for a staff-prepared draft to inform committee action.

At the close of discussion there was no recorded formal vote to direct staff to produce a draft policy, and the item was discussed as a potential future agenda topic rather than as an enacted policy. The committee’s conversation on the subject will remain in the committee record pending any formal motion, staff work product, or future agenda placement.","Warren County committee members discussed drafting a policy to provide an alternate site for nonviolent, non-hate speech but did not advance a draft or place a policy item on next month’s agenda.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6203509,"Resident urges Warren County committee to consider displaying Pride flag and tourism outreach",128,66000,194000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3782984-995f0101ae82ba070858178f613ff3f2&start=66&end=194","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3782984-995f0101ae82ba070858178f613ff3f2/thumbnail_66000.jpg","/articles/6203509/Warren-County/New-York/Resident-urges-Warren-County-committee-to-consider-displaying-Pride-flag-and-tourism-outreach","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6203509-b5a1bdbb63fcf6791509e61d7e6f36f4/orig.mp4?Expires=1771137145&Signature=iPicAHpCT8l~LTlTCiAHgCDWwi-PpTMedC~rdu~3vFulULSzAN-UkfAPVHkme3C-J6G1CJm4hp4RpAktvEOk5gPe~K1Ljg5nEN-RIXsUXhggFXZkTbmwoRqHHtbo5JVg1b5d6Tp1sY2RVXlHlUX0j17k1RF355qJgV~Fjnv9vFWxSsmgd6aHe25WzlI~BKu5jyr-64kqZFcviE-5zDFk2sy5J7EzH-TeFpF2deAS71zvNCQMBlB0t1XzxKfIcoHq5w8-NzPWfDFzuofPWjkpJJYCmRMlETfD3kcg4pzudp284zMEd7mHSrsDn1Vj0JkT39~qB9Pvsys8e0yNxSOvmA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A member of the public asked the Warren County Legislative Rules and Governmental Operations Committee on May 30 to keep a discussion open about the county displaying a Pride flag next June and to consider how tourism outreach could include LGBTQ+ visitors.

During the meeting’s public comment period, a speaker who addressed the chair, Supervisor Stroud, said that “this Sunday, June 1, is the kickoff for Pride Month,” and urged the committee to “keep this dialogue going about the possibility that next June, a Bridal flag will be hanging somewhere in our county.” The speaker noted that a flag had been raised at a local school district the prior day and urged the county to consider both flag displays and lighting landmarks for Pride Month.

The commenter also linked tourism strategy to inclusion, saying state and regional tourism efforts “are embracing the LGBTQ plus community because they are big travelers to this area” and asked the county to factor that into any rebranding or tourism planning.

No committee action to adopt a flag-raising policy or a tourism directive was recorded during the meeting.
