The Seneca County Board of Supervisors will convene for its final session of 2024 on Monday, December 23, at 6 p.m., with committee meetings and a special year-end board meeting set to address a comprehensive agenda of policy updates, grants, and budget approvals.
Key highlights for the meeting include several grant acceptances aimed at bolstering election operations through programs like the Technology Innovation and Election Resource Grant, the General Election Grant, and funding for absentee ballot processes. These grants will support the Seneca County Board of Elections by enhancing election technology and covering costs for early voting and mail-in ballots.
Supervisors will also discuss the introduction of Local Law D, which would set salaries for county public officers and senior personnel in 2025. A public hearing for the proposal is scheduled for January 14, 2025. Additionally, the Board will review amendments to the county’s health and benefits policy and update its Rules of Order for 2025 and 2026.
Other items on the agenda include authorizing a grant application for infrastructure improvements at the Finger Lakes Regional Airport and approving contracts for mental health services, opioid treatment programs, and youth programs. The Board will also consider budget amendments, tax corrections, and the extension of 2025 town and county taxes.
With a focus on wrapping up financial and operational matters before the new year, the session promises to be a crucial one for county governance.
