Top issues during term (20)

high↑Feb 2026[31]

County EMS service contract for 2027

Up to $21,000 from the education and training budget line.

high→Mar 2026[31]

Highway and Bridge Repairs Funded

About $3.1 million total, largely federal and locally funded through Capital Project #125.

high↑May 2026[27]

NY Connects and HIICAP services for seniors and disabled residents

County pays the $35/hour contract rate (plus $2/hour Mountain Top supplement); total cost depends on service hours used.

high↑Sep 2026[25]

2027 County Budget Hearing Set

Levy stays at $27,404,000 — no countywide increase, but equalization shifts mean some towns pay more and some pay less.

medium↑Jun 2026[22]

Public Health and Mental Health service agreements

No change to county funding — the same OASAS-funded services continue under the new organization.

medium↑Oct 2026[20]

Agricultural District 124 Inclusion Requests

No direct cost to taxpayers identified — this is a procedural step to schedule the hearing and environmental review.

medium↑Oct 2026[20]

Public Health advisory committee appointment

$50 per day of service plus mileage from county funds.

high↑Oct 2026[20]

Town of Halcott emergency medical funding

Windham's ambulance budget alone rises about $189,000 next year; the county gave mountaintop towns $190,000 this year and is being asked to maintain or increase that.

medium↑Sep 2026[15]

Sheriff's Authority to Execute Mandated Contracts

Costs are already built into the Sheriff's Office annual budget, so no new spending is attached.

high↓Sep 2026[13]

Cairo Senior Center kitchen equipment purchase

A $298,900 contract is on the table, paid for largely with federal CDBG money — but legislators figure taxpayers could save if State contract pricing beats it.

medium↑Jul 2026[12]

Windham Transfer Station improvements

Project cost to be set at the July 30 bid opening.

medium↓Feb 2026[11]

Chargebacks Assessed to Towns

$36,263 total charged back to towns across all 14-15 municipalities.

medium↑Oct 2026[10]

Court-ordered competency evaluation services

Up to $1,000 a month through the end of 2026.

medium↑Oct 2026[10]

2026 Equalization Rates for County Towns

Equalization rates feed into state aid formulas and tax comparisons across towns.

high↓Sep 2026[10]

Snow & Ice Control Supply Contracts

Meeting the minimum salt allocation alone will cost about $435,000 — roughly 43% more per ton than last year.

high↑Oct 2026[10]

Community Action cash-flow crisis from late state payments

The county's discretionary allocation is a lifeline the agency hopes to maintain after last year's doubling.

medium↑Oct 2026[10]

Veterans Memorial Expansion at Catskill Point

No new county tax dollars — $50,000 comes from the Randall Fried Endowment and about $18,000 from donor brick sales.

high↑Oct 2026[10]

Senior & Disability Property Tax Exemption Income Limits

Raises the cap on who qualifies for county property tax relief, slightly shifting exemption costs within the county tax levy.

high↑Oct 2026[10]

Verizon Copper Landline Discontinuation

high↑Oct 2026[10]

High-potency 7-OH (synthetic kratom) sale ban

No direct cost to the county — this is a formal statement of support for state regulation.
