PURCHASE SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH ONEIDA COUNTY TO THE FAMILY AND COMMUNITY SERVICES REBUILDING VILLAGE, INC. YOU WANT TO GIVE US THE INFORMATION? YEAH. SO THIS IS A NEW CONTRACT WITH REBUILDING THE VILLAGE, WHICH IS LOCATED IN CORNHILL. IT WAS IN RESPONSE TO AN RFP THAT WE RELEASED IN 2020 FOR TARGET POPULATION, A VERY HIGH RISK YOUTH. IT ENCOMPASSES SEVERAL PROGRAMS FOR PREVENTATIVE NATURE OUTREACH, YOUTH ACTIVITIES, STREET SAFETY PROGRAMS, GUN VIOLENCE PROGRAMS, AND SO ON. AND IT'S INTENDED FOR PROGRAM EXPANSION. THEY'VE DONE SOME GOOD WORK IN THE CORNHILL AREA, AND ITS PURPOSE IS TO BE PREVENTATIVE IN NATURE AND TO DETER YOUTH FROM THE SOCIAL JUSTICE SYSTEM. AND, YOU KNOW, JUVENILE JUSTICE QUESTIONS.YVONNE. GO AHEAD. SO FOR THIS PROGRAM, FOR THIS PROGRAM, ARE WE GOING TO HAVE MONITORING IN PLACE AND WHO'S GOING TO BE DOING THE MONITORING. MONITORING. YEAH THAT ONE. YES.
THERE. YEAH THERE WILL BE MONITORING IN PLACE AND IT WILL BE PERFORMED. THE MONITORING WILL BE DONE BY DEPARTMENT OF FAMILY AND COMMUNITY SERVICES STAFF, PROGRAMS STAFF FROM OUR SERVICES DIVISION AND OUR CONTRACT MANAGEMENT STAFF AND THE PEOPLE HERE. DO THEY HAVE TO HAVE LIKE DEGREES OR CERTIFICATIONS OR WHATEVER TO RUN THIS PROGRAM? YES. VARIOUS LEVELS OF EXPERTISE. SO FOR EXAMPLE FOR THEIR IT WILL INCLUDE OUTREACH POSITIONS. SO THOSE POSITIONS WILL REQUIRE A LEVEL OF EXPERIENCE IN HUMAN SERVICES AND PROGRAM ACTIVITY AND A KNOWLEDGE OF OUR LOCAL SERVICE SOCIAL SERVICE SYSTEM WITH WITH AN EFFORT TO HELP KIND OF BRIDGE AND AS A LIAISON BETWEEN THE POPULATION SERVED AND THE DEPARTMENT. OKAY. OKAY.
QUESTION. GO AHEAD. WHAT CAN YOU MENTION SOME EXAMPLES OF THE PROGRAMS? YOU KNOW, A LITTLE BIT MORE IN DEPTH OF THOSE PROGRAMS, WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO OFFER. I MEAN, I SEE 25 KIDS AND 1.5 MILLION. YEAH. SO IT'S A COMBINATION OF LIKE AFTER SCHOOL YOUTH PROGRAMS. GUN PREVENTION AND THOSE TYPES OF PROGRAMS. SO IT'S A IT'S A IT'S A VARIETY OF PROGRAMS THAT WILL BE HOUSED IN DONE THROUGH REBUILDING THE VILLAGE. RIGHT. JIM, YOU SAID IT'S A RELATIVELY NEW PROGRAM OR IT IS A NEW PROGRAM, FAIRLY NEW IN THE COMMUNITY, ALTHOUGH THEY'VE BEEN THEY'VE HAVE EXPERIENCE AND PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT.

IT'S GOING TO RUN THROUGH THIS. 25 KIDS AT ONE TIME. ONE TIME. SO THAT'S I MEAN CUMULATIVE WOULD BE MUCH HIGHER THAN THAT. IS THERE ANY SORT OF INCENTIVE FOR WHEN THE KIDS LEAVE THE PROGRAM TO STAY OUT OF TROUBLE, I GUESS, FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM? I KNOW WE'VE HAD ISSUES BEFORE WHEN GROUPS OF KIDS WOULD LEAVE THE REC CENTER AT ONE TIME, YOU KNOW, CAUSING PROBLEMS HERE AND THERE. BUT AS THERE IS THERE ANY SORT OF, YOU KNOW, INCENTIVE FOR THEM TO STAY, I THINK INCENTIVE.
DO PEOPLE MONITOR THEM EVEN WHEN THEY'RE I MEAN, IT'S GREAT TO HAVE THEM IN ONE PLACE FOR A FEW HOURS OR WHAT HAVE YOU, BUT IS THERE AN OPPORTUNITY TO TALK TO THEM ABOUT THAT AFTER HOURS STUFF? THERE'S A NUMBER OF OUTCOMES THAT ARE ANTICIPATED AND EXPECTED, INCLUDING, YOU KNOW, SCHOOL ATTENDANCE AND PREVENTION FROM JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEM AND LAW. YOU KNOW, THE FAMILY COURT SYSTEM AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS. SO IT WOULD BE THE OUTCOMES OR AND OR INCENTIVES, RIGHT? I GUESS IF YOU COULD KEEP US INFORMED ON THE BENCHMARKS THAT ARE SET IN ORDER TO KEEP THEM, YOU KNOW, AT A LEVEL THAT AND WHETHER THEY'RE SURPASSING THAT, THAT WOULD BE GREAT IF CERTAINLY BE KEPT UP, ESPECIALLY WITH IT BEING A NEW PROGRAM. WE COULD SEE IF IT'S WORTHWHILE TO MAINTAIN OR NOT TO MAINTAIN. CERTAINLY WILL. THANK YOU. OTHER QUESTIONS. HEARING NONE, WE'LL PUT THIS TO A VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED?

WE GO ON TO DOCTOR GILMORE.WE GOT DOCKET 2025. 1683 CONTRACT WITH THE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT FOR PROVISIONS FOR DRINKING WATER ENHANCEMENT. THIS IS OUR DRINKING WATER ENHANCEMENT GRANT THAT WE'VE HAD FOR, OH, WELL OVER 20 YEARS. THAT COMES IN FIVE YEAR INCREMENTS. NOW, THE AMOUNT HASN'T REALLY BEEN INCREASED MUCH OVER THE YEARS, BUT IT'S $122,356 A YEAR, WHICH WE USE TO SUPPLEMENT SALARIES AND OTHER COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH DRINKING WATER ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM. AND WITH THAT PROGRAM, WE WORK WITH ALL THE PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMS IN THE COUNTY, REVIEW THEIR SAFETY PLANS ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. WE'RE AVAILABLE FOR TECHNICAL ADVICE AND TO WORK WITH THE REGIONAL OFFICE OF THE OF THE STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO ASSIST THEM. WE ACTUALLY DO INSPECTIONS ANNUALLY AT ALL THE PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMS IN THE IN THE COUNTY. AND THEN WE PROVIDE ADVICE TO PEOPLE WITH WELLS WHO ARE NOT ON PUBLIC WATER, AND WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF DOLLARS TO PROVIDE TO THEM. BUT OTHER THAN TECHNICAL ADVICE, IS OUR PRIMARY MEANS OF OUTREACH TO PEOPLE ON GETTING THEIR DRINKING WATER FROM PRIVATE WELLS. ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO AHEAD, CHRIS. IS THIS ABOVE AND BEYOND? WHAT? THE CURRENT WATER BOARD DOES, I KNOW THEY'RE ALWAYS TESTING WATER FACILITIES.
THE SHORT ANSWER IS YES, BUT WE'RE THE REGULATORY AUTHORITY, SO WE WORK WITH THEM. THE WATER AUTHORITY AND THE WATER SYSTEM AND OTHERS. WE WITH THEM ONCE A YEAR TO REVIEW THEIR TESTING

SO THE, THE, THE BOIL WATER IS PUT INTO EFFECT IF THERE'S POSSIBLE CONTAMINATION OF THE WATER SUPPLY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS DOCKET? SEEING NONE WE'LL GO TO VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES. ALL RIGHT. WE MOVE ON[e. 2025-1650 – HEALTH DEPARTMENT RE: APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO A GRANT AGREEMENT BETWEEN ONEIDA COUNTY, THROUGH ITS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, AND NEW YORK STATE, THROUGH ITS DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH ]
TO DOCKET 20251650, WHICH IS AN AMENDMENT TO THE MULTIYEAR MASTER CONTRACT WITH THE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT IN NEW YORK. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH FOR THE NYSDOH RABIES PROGRAM. THIS IS BASICALLY A TWO YEAR EXTENSION OF OUR EXISTING CONTRACT. THERE'S NO CHANGE IN ANNUAL DOLLAR AMOUNT, BUT THEY EXTEND THE CONTRACT UNTIL 2027. IT'S FOR THE RABIES PROGRAM. IT'S THE AMOUNT IS ROUGHLY WHAT IS. I DON'T KNOW. IT'S PER YEAR. IT'S IN THE CONTRACT. I DON'T HAVE THAT MEMORIZED. BUT IT'S A. 140,000 OR ABOUT 28,000 A YEAR. 28,000 PLUS PER YEAR IS WHAT WE RECEIVE. IT'S THE COUNTY HAS TO CONTRIBUTE FUNDS TO THAT, BECAUSE IT'S NOT ENOUGH TO COVER A SALARY OR ALL OF OUR EXPENSES. BUT WITH THIS PARTICULAR PROGRAM, WE HAVE 3 TO 6 RABIES VACCINATION CLINICS A YEAR. WE TRY TO HIT SIX, BUT SOMETIMES IT'S ONLY THREE FOR VARIOUS REASONS FOR VACCINATION CLINICS. AND THEN THE MOST IMPORTANT PART IS RABIES PROGRAM WITH HUMANS THAT HAVE POSSIBLE EXPOSURES. WE ADVISE THEM ON WHAT TO DO. WE WORK IN CONCERT WITH THE THEIR PRIMARY PROVIDER AT TIMES ON THIS, BUT THEY THEY HAVE TO RECEIVE RABIES PROPHYLACTIC TREATMENTS IF THEY DO HAVE AN EXPOSURE, BECAUSE RABIES IS FATAL, IF YOU CONTRACT IT, IT INVARIABLY FATAL. SO IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT PROGRAM. WE HAVE PEOPLE ON CALL 24 OVER SEVEN EVERY DAY. SOMETIMES THE CALLS EVEN COME TO ME, WHICH IS ALL RIGHT, OF COURSE, BUT WE'VE GOT A CALL DOWN LIST THAT WORKS. SO IT'S AN IMPORTANT PROGRAM, AND IT'S A MANDATED PROGRAM BY THE STATE. SO I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS A KID, I WAS ALWAYS WORRIED ABOUT GETTING BIT BY A RABID ANIMAL BECAUSE I WAS TOLD TO GET A BIG NEEDLE. IS THAT TRUE STILL IS THAT. YEAH. STOMACH. YEAH.THAT'S NOT TRUE. OR IS THAT TRUE? WELL IT WAS THAT'S HOW THE USED TO BE DONE. IT'S CHANGED A HEMOGLOBIN IMMUNOGLOBULIN IN THE WOUND SITE. SO IT'S KIND OF PAINFUL BECAUSE THERE'S INJECTIONS WHERE THE WOUND WAS. AND THEN THE 2 TO 4 FOLLOW UP PROPHYLAXIS INJECTIONS ARE SHOT IN THE ARM. SO IT'S CHANGED A LITTLE BIT. BUT IT'S STILL NOT A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE. I THINK THAT'S WHAT DID OLD YELLER. IS THAT WHAT YOU SAID, CHRIS? YEAH. GRANDDAUGHTER. IT'S STILL A PROBLEM. 2025. WE'RE STILL FIGHTING RABIES, SO. ALL RIGHT. ANY GO AHEAD? FAR BE IT FOR ME NOT TO HAVE REGULAR INTERACTIONS. SO RECENTLY, WE HAD A RADICAL. RADICALLY. IT WAS A IT WAS OUT OF BRUCE AND KIND OF ROAMING AROUND ATTACKING OTHER ANIMALS AND THANKING GOD THAT CAUSED THEM TO PREVENTIVELY OBLITERATE. BUT WHEN THE OLD YELLER. STEVE. YEAH. YEAH. BUT CONTACTED I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME CAME UP AND SAID, WELL, IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO DIE OFF.
OH THE CAT. YEAH, IT'S PROBABLY WILL. YES, BUT YOU HAVE TO BE. YOU TRAP IT AND TRY TO GET RID OF IT THAT WAY. OR, OR IF YOU. I SAW SOMETHING ON FACEBOOK. WASN'T THAT CAT HAD KITTENS THAT THEY KNOW THIS WAS MIKE'S NOT MY CAT, BUT IT WAS A CAT, I DON'T KNOW. STUFF LIKE THAT. NO, NO, IT WAS SOMEBODY ELSE THAT COMMENTED. BUT WAS IT A CALL TO THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT? SOMEBODY FROM WELL, IF IT COULD BE CAUGHT AND TESTED, THAT WOULD BE THE IDEAL THING, RIGHT? YEAH. YEAH.
I HEAR YOU. THIS WOMAN WAS ADAMANT THAT THE DOG GOT ATTACKED AND SHE WANTED TO DO
[00:15:01]
SOMETHING BEFORE THERE WAS A PROBLEM, BUT THE CAT WAS, YOU KNOW. BUT THE BUT THE DOG, IF THE DOG HAD HAD VACCINATIONS. YEAH. WELL, YEAH, IT IS NOW, BUT THERE'S A TIME PERIOD WHERE THEY HAVE TO RECEIVE THAT INITIAL. WELL, THERE'S IDEALLY YES, BUT. WHEN THEY COME ACROSS A RABID DOMESTICATED ANIMAL LIKE THAT OR DOMESTICATED, THAT'S SEEMINGLY RANDOM. IS THERE A PROTOCOL IN PLACE THAT THEY CAN SAY SOMETHING OTHER THAN, YEAH, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. IT'S GOING TO DIE ANYWAY. WE'LL PROBABLY 48 HOURS NOW. I'M GOING TO LOOK INTO THAT BECAUSE THAT'S NOT WHAT IF, YOU KNOW, IT'S NOT THE RIGHT ANSWER. NO. NO. BUT YEAH, IF YOU GIVE ME YOUR NAME I'LL FOLLOW UP ON IT. YES. I CAN GET ALL THE DETAILS OF THAT PARTICULAR SITUATION TOO. OKAY.YEAH. I'LL WILL. ANY OTHER. THERE'S A RABIES QUESTION HERE THEN ABOUT HOW YOU LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT. THROUGH THE OUR WEBSITE, THE COUNTY WEBSITE, OF COURSE THROUGH NEWSPAPERS SUCH AS THEY ARE NOWADAYS AND THROUGH RADIO ADVERTISEMENTS, AS WELL AS WHEN WE CAN WE THERE'S PLACES TO POST SIGNAGE. WE'LL POST SIGNAGE ALSO. SO. AS WELL I THINK WE DO. BUT I'M NOT A SOCIAL MEDIA USER MYSELF, BUT I DO KNOW THEY GO TO THE I'VE NEVER GONE TO LOOK, SO THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ON THERE.
SO YES, MY QUESTION WAS JUST A FOLLOW UP TO THAT. WAS IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME SITE LOCATIONS WHERE YOU DO. WE ACTUALLY HAVE SEVERAL LOCATIONS THAT WE USE REGULARLY. ONE IS THE DEERFIELD FIREHOUSE, THE OTHER IS KENNEDY ARENA IN ROME. THERE'S THE TOWN GARAGE AND VIENNA. WE USE THE SAME ONES ALL THE TIME. OH, WELL, WE LOCATION OR AFTER A FEW YEARS.
IF WE HAVE VERY FEW PEOPLE COMING, WE'LL JUST PAUSE THAT. YES, I WAS ACTUALLY IN A SITUATION. OKAY, OKAY. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON RABIES? HEARING NONE. WE'LL PUT THIS TO VOTE.
[f. 2025-1746 – HEALTH DEPARTMENT RE: SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION OF $53,302.00 TO A 4010 4012.495-410 – OTHER EXPENSE VAPE DISPOSAL FEES (HEALTH) ]
ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES. IN THE LAST DOCKET IS 20251746. AND THAT'S THE DEPARTMENT HEALTH HAS BEEN CONFISCATING VAPE CARTRIDGES FROM VARIOUS SOURCES. AND THIS IS FOR THEIR DISPOSAL. YES, BUT WE'VE HAD THE PROGRAM WHERE WE ACTUALLY INVESTIGATE SALES OF VAPES THAT ARE MANY OF THEM ARE LEGAL. AND WE WORK WITH SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT GO OUT AND WE SEIZE THE VAPES WHEN AN ENTITY'S IN VIOLATION. SOMETIMES THEY'RE LICENSED, SOMETIMES THEY'RE NOT. BUT THEIR LICENSURE AS FAR AS AN ENTITY, ISN'T REALLY A FALL ON THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. OUR OUR REASON FOR BEING THERE IS TO SEIZE THE VAPES AND TISSUE VIOLATION NOTICES. BUT WE'VE WE'VE SEIZED QUITE A FEW IN THE LAST YEAR. PLUS WE'VE AND THE VIOLATIONS HAVE HAD HEARINGS AND THEY'VE BEEN CLOSED. WE'VE RECEIVED FINES FOR MANY OF THEM. SO WE HAVE TO GET RID OF THE CARTRIDGES, VAPE CARTRIDGES, AND THEY BECOME A HAZARDOUS WASTE. SO WE'VE WORKED WITH SOLID WASTE AUTHORITY AND THEY'VE THEY'VE TAKEN A TRUCK FULL FROM US AND WE'VE DISPOSED THEY'VE DISPOSED OF THEM FOR US. SO NOW WE HAVE TO PAY THEM. IT'S JUST SHY OF $3 A VAPE. AND WE BROUGHT OVER OVER TWO TONS AT OUR INITIAL DISPOSAL. SO IT'S QUITE A QUITE A FEW THE DPW HELPED US WITH.THAT TOOK HALF A DAY. SO FORTUNATELY THE AMOUNT CAME TO JUST OVER $53,000. BUT FORTUNATELY WE HAD EXCESS OF FUNDS IN TERMS OF REVENUE FROM OUR CLINIC WITH OUR VACCINATION PROGRAM. SO WE HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR, WE JUST HAVE TO TRANSFER THE MONIES. GREAT. ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS? GO AHEAD KEN. IS THERE ANY POSSIBLE WAY TO PUT THIS COST ON THE STORES THAT YOU'RE TAKING THEM FROM? WE'RE INCORPORATING THAT INTO OUR FINE STRUCTURE NOW. THE ONLY ONLY DIFFICULTY THERE IS MANY OF THEM. WE NEVER SEE THEM AGAIN AFTER WE SEIZE THE VAPE. SO WE HAVE THE VAPES AND NO, NO FINE REVENUE. WE CAN'T FIND THE PEOPLE ANYMORE. SO THAT IS THAT IS A GOOD QUESTION. I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE SPECIFIC ABOUT THAT QUESTION. BELIEVES ONE THING.
THERE'S MANY THINGS. THERE'S SOME OF THEM CONTAIN NICOTINE, SOME OF THEM DON'T. THERE'S
[00:20:02]
FLAVORING IN THEM. THERE'S ON THE NATIONAL MEDIA. I'VE HEARD OF OTHER THINGS BEING IN THE VAPE, SUCH AS CANNABIS AND FENTANYL. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I HAVEN'T HEARD OF ANY FENTANYL IN VAPES LOCALLY, BUT IT'S CERTAINLY A POSSIBILITY. SO THERE'S REALLY NO. MARKET CONTROL OF VAPES OR FDA CONTROL OF VAPES. SO IT'S KIND OF A KIND OF THE WILD WEST OUT THERE, SO TO SPEAK. THANK YOU. ANY OTHER QUESTION ABOUT VAPES? ALL RIGHT. ALL IN FAVOR OF THIS DOCKET, SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED? MOTION AND WE'LL TAKE A MOTION* This transcript was compiled from uncorrected Closed Captioning.
