BATH -- The Steuben County Legislature officially requested Monday the current state of emergency imposed by New York State be lifted, giving county officials the ability to set suitable guidelines for local operations.
While some legislators cited concerns about the recent spike in COVID-19 cases and uncertainty over recent reports of the virus in school systems in Steuben, others said the county now has the ability, working under appropriate state guidance, to address operational issues as they arise.
The request will be forwarded to the state Governor and Legislature.
The county Legislature’s action took place during its regularly scheduled session Monday, during which county lawmakers also approved:
· Awarding a total of $6.1 million to low bidders for the Phase II Court and County Offices Renovation Project. Vendors include general construction, electrical, plumbing, mechanical and controls. Phase II work includes significant renovations to the County Office Building, and county court complex in keeping with mandated state court reform. The Phase II work may begin as early as next week with completion set for 2023, according to county Manager Jack Wheeler.
· Setting 10 a.m., Nov. 12 for the formal presentation of the 2021 county budget. Work on the budget is already under way, with the first legislative workshop set to follow the county Legislature’s Finance Committee regular 10 a.m. meeting Oct. 13
