Health Committee Regular Meeting
The committee discussed several items related to the Health Department, including the acceptance of a New York State Department of Transportation Innovative Mobility Initiative grant and the establishment of a capital project. A resolution was passed to reclassify an existing special education program coordinator position to a special children service coordinator to better align with current program needs and improve service delivery, with no overall salary increase. Additionally, the committee authorized the deletion of a part-time position due to overlapping responsibilities, resulting in annual salary and FICA savings. Finally, the committee reviewed and approved a significant budget modification for preschool transportation, necessitated by increased costs and a rising number of children requiring transportation to center-based programs outside the county.
