MAYVILLE – A group of county lawmakers will discuss a resolution that could provide additional funding for the Chautauqua County Home in 2013. The resolution will be reviewed when the county legislature’s Human Services Committee meets at 6 p.m.
The resolution calls for a $500,000 appropriation from the county’s fund balance to match a federal grant for the county home when they meet later today in Mayville. It is being sponsored by several democrats on the legislature, including Minority Leader Lori Cornell (D-Jamestown), Assistant Minority Leader Robert Whitney (D-Jamestown), Victoria James (D-Jamestown), Paula DeJoy (D-Jamestown), Tim Hoyer (D-Jamestown), Tom DeJoe (D-Brocton) and Bill Coughlin (D-Fredonia). Sponsors are hoping to use that surplus as a local share to match intergovernmental transfers (IGT) from the federal government. In order to secure the matching funds for the County Home, a local share from the county must be provided.
Other committees meeting later today include the County’s Public Safety Committee at 4 p.m., which will review a new labor contract for part-time Deputy Sheriffs and a resolution to increase sheriff services in the Village of Brocton.
And the Planning & Economic Development Committee will meet at 7 p.m. in Mayville. All committee meetings are open to the public.
