[a. 2025-1228 – DFCS RE: APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO A GRANT AGREEMENT BETWEEN ONEIDA COUNTY, THROUGH ITS DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY AND COMMUNITY SERVICES, AND NEW YORK STATE, THROUGH ITS OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES ]
INTO THE FIRST DOCKET WHICH IS 20251228. AND IT'S CONTRACTS. IT'S A ONEIDA COUNTY IS IN RECEIPT OF AN AMENDMENT FOR A GRANT OF NEW YORK STATE OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES TO FUND AND PROVIDE BY COUNTY ADVOCACY CENTER FROM OCTOBER 1ST, 2022 TO SEPTEMBER 30TH, 2025. THE AMENDMENT INCREASES THE AMOUNT OF THIS GRANT FROM 618,083 TO 644,000 454. MIKE I SO THIS IS AN AMENDMENT TO THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT. APPLICATION TO OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES. IT'S JUST AN ADDITIONAL 25,000. SO IT INCREASES THE TOTAL BUDGET TO 644,454. RIGHT. PRETTY CLEAR CUT. ANY QUESTIONS FROM ANY OF THOSE ON THE COMMITTEE? SEEING NONE WE'LL TAKE A VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES. THANKS. THANKS, MIKE. THANK YOU. GOOD NIGHT. ALL RIGHT. WE MOVE ON TO 20251520 CONTRACTS. IT'S THROUGH ONEIDA[b. 2025-1520 – HEALTH RE: APPROVAL OF AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN ONEIDA COUNTY, THROUGH ITS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, AND DANIEL C. GOODMAN, M.D. ]
COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT. AND DOCTOR DANIEL GOODMAN. HE'S A CONTRACTOR THAT PROVIDES MEDICAL CONSULTING FOR THE ONEIDA COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND DIAGNOSTICS AND TREATMENT CLINIC. IT'S A REIMBURSEMENT OF 5700 A MONTH, OR 68,400 A YEAR FOR TWO YEARS, WITH AN OPTION TO GO FORWARD IN A MUTUALLY AGREEABLE FOR THREE YEARS, ONE MORE YEAR EXTENSION AT YEAR THREE. SO YES. IS THAT RIGHT? YEAH. THAT'S CORRECT. WE HAD AN RFP FOR A MEDICAL CONSULTANT THAT WE PUT OUT A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, TWO, TWO RESPONDENTS. ONE WAS OUR CURRENT MEDICAL CONSULTANT, BUT DOCTOR GOODMAN PUT IN A MORE FAVORABLE PROPOSAL AND WE DECIDED TO GO WITH THAT ONE. VERY GOOD. ANY QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMITTEE ABOUT THIS DOCKET? GO AHEAD. FAVORABLE. DO YOU MEAN WHAT WAS SLIGHTLY LESS EXPENSIVE, FOR ONE, BUT IT HAD A LONGER POTENTIAL TERM THAN DOCTOR AS FAR AS THE QUALIFICATIONS, THEY WERE SIMILAR AND THEN SO THAT WAS THE PRIMARY REASON I WASN'T CLEAR FROM DOCTOR ZAVALA'S PROPOSAL IF SHE'D STAY WITH US ANOTHER TWO YEARS. I MEAN, SHE PROBABLY WOULD, BUT I'M PRETTY SURE DOCTOR GOODMAN WILL STAY 3 TO 5, SO THAT MAKES IT EASIER FOR US, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, NOT TO SWITCH CONSULTANTS. THANK YOU.OKAY, LEGISLATOR NEWTON, WHAT ARE THE TYPICAL DUTIES? WHAT EXACTLY ARE THEY DOING? OKAY.
YEAH. THE PRIMARY. WELL, THERE'S SEVERAL THINGS. IMPORTANTLY, THEY THEY THEY SIGN STANDING ORDERS FOR US FOR VACCINES SO THAT THEY'RE NOT PATIENT SPECIFIC ORDERS, BUT IT ALLOWS US TO VACCINATE THE PUBLIC WITH WITH REGULAR VACCINES, PARTICULARLY SCHOOL AGED CHILDREN. AND IF THERE'S AN OUTBREAK OF HEPATITIS A, WHICH WE HAD A COUPLE IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, THEY ALSO SIGNED THE STANDING ORDERS FOR THAT SO THAT, AGAIN, WE COULD VACCINATE UNDER THEIR GENERAL SUPERVISION, BUT NOT THEY DON'T HAVE TO SAY, YOU KNOW, MRS. JONES NEEDS A VACCINE. ANOTHER THING THEY THEY THE THING THEY DO FOR US THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT IS, IS THEY OVERSEE THE TUBERCULOSIS CARE AND TREATMENT FOR US. AND THEY COME INTO THE CLINIC 1 OR 2 AFTERNOONS, OR AS MUCH AS THEY HAVE TO PER WEEK TO ASSIST US WITH THAT. YEAH. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS WITHIN THE COMMITTEE? OKAY. SEEING NONE, WE'LL GO TO VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR OF THIS DOCKET. SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES. ALL RIGHT, DOCTOR GILMORE, WE'RE ON
[c. 2025-1337 – HEALTH RE: APPROVAL OF A LEADING IN LEAD PROGRAM GRANT AGREEMENT BETWEEN ONEIDA COUNTY, THROUGH ITS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, AND HOUSING TRUST FUND CORPORATION ]
TO THE NEXT ONE. 20251337. AND THAT'S THE MULTIYEAR AGREEMENT. WE HAD A LITTLE CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS LAST MEETING, BUT IT'S A MULTIYEAR AGREEMENT BETWEEN ONEIDA COUNTY AND HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND THE HOUSING TRUST FUND CORPORATION, THROUGH THE COMMUNITY OF RENEWAL, TO SUPPORT LEAD IN LEADING, LEADING AND LEAD PREVENTION PILOT PROGRAM. THAT'S HARD TO SAY. YEAH, IT'S QUITE A MOUTHFUL. I'VE BEEN DRINKING. I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO SAY IT AT ALL, BUT I HAVEN'T STARTED YET, SO THAT'S GOOD. YEAH. SO THIS IS AN INTERESTING GRANT. IT'S KIND OF A COMPANION TO THE ONE THE RENTAL REGISTRY GRANT I DISCUSSED LAST MONTH. THAT WAS WITH THE STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. THIS WAS WITH HOUSING AND COMMUNITY RENEWAL. SO IT'S A DIFFERENT AGENCY. SO[00:05:01]
IT'S THEY'RE NOT COMPLETELY UNITED, BUT THERE'S MEETINGS THAT WE HAVE ZOOM MEETINGS THAT ARE WITH BOTH GROUPS. THIS PARTICULAR GRANT I DON'T BELIEVE HOUSING COMMUNITY RENEWAL HAS INTERACTED A LOT WITH LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENTS IN THE PAST. AND I SAY THAT BASED MORE ON THE MEETINGS, BECAUSE THEY REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND OUR SYSTEM HERE. THEY APPEAR TO BE. PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM WOULD PROBABLY RECALL THE HUD GRANT RECEIVED BY THE CITY OF UTICA FOR LEAD POISONING, REHABILITATING HOMES AND SUCH. THIS IS. THE RULES FOR THIS GRANT ARE VERY SIMILAR TO THAT. SO THE RULES WHICH WE DON'T HAVE THEM ALL YET, BY THE WAY, WE STILL NEED PIECES FROM FROM HOUSING AND COMMUNITY RENEWAL BEFORE WE PROCEED. BUT THE RULES ARE IF A PERSON OR AN ENTITY WANTS TO ENROLL IN THE PROGRAM, THEY BASICALLY ARE CAPPED ON, I BELIEVE, $20,000 FOR UPGRADING THE BUILDING TO MAKE IT LEAD SAFE. AND THEN THERE'S A LIEN PUT ON THE PROPERTY FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. I BELIEVE IT'S FIVE YEARS FOR THAT, 20,000 FOR THAT 20,000.AND THEN AFTER THAT TIME PERIOD IS UP AND EVERYTHING SATISFIED, THAT IS LIFTED. I WOULDN'T BELIEVE THAT TO BE VERY ATTRACTIVE TO THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY. AND THAT'S THE SAME WAY THINGS WERE WITH THE HUD GRANT THAT THAT WAS RUN BY THE CITY. SO THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO THAT. BUT THE INTENT IS, IS TO SUPPLY MONIES TO HOMEOWNERS. EITHER PEOPLE THAT OWN THE HOME LIVE THERE OR LANDLORDS TO MAKE THEIR PROPERTIES LEAD SAFE. THAT'S THE GENERAL INTENT, THOUGH. THERE ARE STRINGS TO THE MONEY. OF COURSE, THAT MAKES SENSE. I, I EXPECT THERE'S SOME QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMITTEE. OH. NO, I GIVE UP. TIM. YOU KNOW, AGAIN, I JUST KEEP GOING BACK TO THE SAME. THE CORE PROBLEM. YEAH. I MEAN, I WATCHED A SHORT THE OTHER DAY, TALKED ABOUT IT, YOU KNOW, AN OLD HOUSE BEING BUILT. AND THEY WERE GOING THROUGH THE PLUMBERS WERE SETTING. CAMPAIGN, AND THEY WERE ACTUALLY HAVING MELTED WHEN THEY WERE POURING INTO THE TO THE JOINTS. YES. THEY FIGURED THOSE HOUSES STILL EXIST. THOSE WATER, THOSE SEWER LINES ARE STILL THERE. WATER IS POURING DOWN THAT DOWN THE LINES INTO THE FILTRATION PLANT. THERE'S NO WE CHECKED THAT OUT. AND ALL THE PLACES THAT IT GOES BACK INTO. YEAH, BUT I COULDN'T ANSWER THAT QUESTION. BUT IF IT'S STILL THERE, YOU KNOW, IT'S PRETTY OBVIOUS THERE'D BE. THINGS LIKE THAT. AND MOST PEOPLE. BUT WHEN IT GOES UP AND DOWN. BUYING CUSTOM THINGS OF THAT NATURE, BUT IT RUNS THROUGH THE WATER LINE FROM SOMEONE'S HOUSE AND IT LEADS. THERE. YEAH, THAT'S STILL AN ISSUE. AND AS YOU'RE PROBABLY AWARE, THE CITY HAS A GRANT FROM THE STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO ADDRESS SERVICE LINES FROM THE WATER MAINS INTO THE HOMES. THE THING THAT'S REALLY TO EVERYONE'S BENEFIT, IT'S NOT PERFECT, BUT THE CORROSION CONTROL TREATMENTS THAT THE WATER AUTHORITY PROVIDES, THE WATER ACTUALLY COATS THE LEAD AND THE AND THE SERVICE LINES.
SO THERE'S NOT DIRECT CONTACT WHICH MINIMIZES ANY LEAD GOING INTO THE HOMES. HOWEVER, THERE WAS THIS RECENT IN 20 2012 WHERE YOU COULD BUY WATER FIXTURES AND STILL HAD BRASS WITH LEAD IN THEM, SO THEY ELIMINATED THEM. SO THAT'S A LOW LEVEL. IT'S NOT GOOD, I'LL SAY THAT. BUT IF A PERSON WAS EXPOSED TO LEAD ONLY IN THAT MANNER, THE BLOOD LEAD LEVELS WOULD BE WELL BELOW THE THRESHOLD. THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY LEAD THOUGH, AND IT'S GOOD THAT IT'S BEING LOOKED AT AND REPAIRED. EVEN WITH THE GRANT PROVIDED TO THE CITY. FOR THAT, I BELIEVE IT WAS AROUND 600,000.
THERE'S NOT ENOUGH MONEY TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM IN UTICA ENTIRELY. EVEN AT $20,000. YOU CAME INSIDE THE HOUSE? NO, I AWARE. YEAH. I'M ALSO AWARE OF THAT. AND IT'S. YOU COULD OBTAIN THE MONEY, MAYBE DO A PARTIAL JOB WITH IT. BUT. BUT THE THING THAT I WOULD THINK WOULD BE MOST, WELL, MANY HAVE TOLD ME IT'S UNATTRACTIVE IS TO HAVING A LIEN PUT ON YOUR PROPERTY FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. THAT'S VERY UNATTRACTIVE. I HEARD THAT A LOT OF THAT WITH THE HUD GRANT OF THIS OBTAINED. OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COMMITTEE? OKAY. SEEING NONE, WE'LL TAKE THIS DOCKET TO VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSE. MOTION CARRIES. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU DOCTOR. THANK YOU. HAVE A GREAT NIGHT. THANK YOU ALL. THANK YOU. ALRIGHT. WITH NO
