Results

Resolution No. 6 - February 2026

Co-sponsored legislation establishing a five-year agreement with the City of Kingston to revise how Ulster County sales tax revenue is distributed to municipalities, improving fiscal stability and predictability for local governments.

“Strengthening the guaranteed share for our towns and villages helps municipalities plan ahead as costs continue to rise, while still allowing them to benefit when sales tax revenues come in stronger than expected,” said Legislator Laura Donovan.

“This sales tax sharing plan provides an increase in stable, reliable funding with the opportunity for towns to benefit from higher-than-expected sales tax revenues,” said Legislator Ann Peters.
“Ulster County has also joined many other counties across New York State and included a Medicaid Cap trigger within this Agreement. This new provision safeguards essential services in the event that NYS shifts Medicaid funding responsibilities to counties.”
