The Warren County Finance and Budget Committee convened on May 30, 2025, to address several key agenda items concerning budget amendments and funding allocations. The meeting began with a call to order, followed by a review of various financial matters.

The first significant item discussed was a referral from the Health Services Committee, which proposed an amendment to the 2025 Warren County budget. This amendment, amounting to $221,130, is intended to reflect the receipt of grant funding aimed at enhancing public health infrastructure and workforce data systems. The motion was introduced by Supervisor Driscoll and seconded by Supervisor Mayday, receiving unanimous support from the committee.

Next, the committee reviewed another budget amendment, this time from the Human Services Committee. This amendment proposed an increase of $126,003.79 to the budget, funded by a grant from the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance. The funds are designated for rental assistance for qualified individuals, with discussions clarifying that the funding also supports emergency assistance and operational costs. The motion was introduced by Supervisor Molina and seconded by Supervisor Cressido, and it also passed without opposition.

The committee then addressed a referral concerning the 1990 contingent account, which involved returning funds that had been set aside for a special election that will no longer occur. This motion was moved by Supervisor Mayday and was similarly approved by the committee.

Lastly, the committee discussed a personnel agenda item related to the Department of Information Technology. A request was made to appropriate $14,000 from the computer reserve fund to cover expenses for purchasing computers and related software. This motion was moved and seconded, receiving affirmative votes from all present.

In conclusion, the meeting effectively addressed multiple budget amendments and funding allocations, all of which were approved unanimously. The committee's actions reflect ongoing efforts to support public health initiatives, social services, and necessary technological upgrades within Warren County.
