MONTICELLO – The macro
view of where Sullivan County is going was put in motion by the Charter
Revision Commission, which issued its report three weeks ago, after two
years of study. That involves issues including possibly switching
to an elected county executive.
County Manager Joshua Potosek says a micro look at how county government operates is a work in progress.
“This is day-to-day administrative function code changes that we’re looking to kind of get back up to speed with how things are operating. Things have been changed budgetarily or through resolution from time to time and we need to get the code caught up with some of those changes.”
Potosek outlined what this involves during Thursday’s monthly Executive Committee meeting of the entire county legislature. He noted this is apart from the charter review.
“A lot of it centers around the planning division; planning, community development, environmental management, which also has had an impact on CED committee where that would be more of an economic development committee, stripped of community development. There’s a new division of parks and sustainability, beautification in there, that kind of morphs and merges with interactive DPW and planning.”
County Attorney Cheryl McCausland said a draft of proposed code changes likely will be ready in September, with public hearing in October, and possible adoption by the county legislature in November.
