JOHNSTOWN A Fulton County Board of Supervisors committee on Monday passed a proposed resolution calling on the state Legislature to curtail Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s emergency order authority.
“There’s a big call for that,” said county Administrative Officer Jon Stead.
The Public Safety Committee took the action, which is subject to final approval March 8 by the full board. Voting no was Democratic Gloversville 1st Ward Supervisor Marie Born.
Stead told the Public Safety Committee that since supervisors discussed taking this action weeks ago, the subject of Cuomo’s emergency orders have gained “more notoriety.”
“I think it’s time,” Stead said.

JOHNSTOWN Fulton County Sheriff Richard Giardino on Monday asked county legislators to reimburse the village of Dolgeville about $10,000 for training for a past village officer his department might hire.
The move was one of several sheriff’s office personnel items to come before the Board of Supervisors’ Public Safety Committee.
Giardino sought and received committee permission to reimburse Dolgeville and its police department $9,657 for training related to the possible hiring of a certified former Dolgeville police officer. The full board will vote Feb. 8 on the proposed resolution.
The sheriff said his department has offered a permanent deputy sheriff position to the former officer. He said state General Municipal Law has a provision that allows municipalities such as Dolgeville to seek reimbursement for a portion of the officer’s previous training.
