Activity Report
June 2026
as of 6.28.2026

Pre-Trial Release:
Provides all incarcerated defendants initially unable to post bail or be released on their own recognizance, the
opportunity to be interviewed within twenty-four hours of incarceration on an objective point scale that assesses
the defendant’s ties to the community. The program provides verified information to the magistrates for their
determination and monitors the defendants during the pretrial period.

New Releases: 16
Number of Cases Closed: 20
Total Number of Active Cases: 70
Total YTD: 109 open, 132 closed
Total YTD per NYS contract (July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026): 255 opened, 243 closed (goal of 115)
Enhanced Pre-Trial Release:
Further reduces the use and length of incarceration and addresses community safety issues by coordinating
alcohol/drug evaluations, mental health evaluation and treatment recommendation and implementation and
insurance coverage as a condition of release for defendants initially denied Pre-Trial Release because of serious
alcohol/drug, mental health issues.

Number of New Enhanced PTR cases: 1 defendant / 1 case
Total Number Cases Closed: 2 defendants / 2 cases
Total Number: 7 defendants / 11 cases
Electronic Monitoring:
Electronic Monitoring is an adjunct to Enhanced Pre-Trial Release. Electronic Monitoring under Release was a
new requirement after Bail Reform 2020. This form of release is ordered after the least restrictive options are
exhausted and/or a Judge deems there is a risk that the individual will not return for future court dates. Basic
electronic monitoring under Pre-Trial Release is GPS only unless additional conditions are ordered by the
presiding magistrate. This is often the last option prior to bail being issued or the defendant being remanded to
the Wayne County Jail without bail.

Number of New EM cases: 5 defendants / 5 cases
Number of Closed cases: 1 defendant / 1 case
Number of Electronic Monitoring cases: 6 defendants / 6 cases
Total YTD: 18 defendants / 24 cases
Total Number of Days: 977

AUTHORIZATION TO ABOLISH AND CREATE POSITIONS WITHIN WAYNE COUNTY EMS AND
AMEND THE 2026 COUNTY BUDGET
WHEREAS, in the original proposal and plan for the start of Wayne County EMS, it was intended
that all Wayne County EMS ambulances would routinely be staffed at the ALS level, consisting of one EMT
and one Paramedic, as ALS staffing significantly improves department and resource versatility, availability
and personnel utilization, and
WHEREAS, when the ambulance portion of the service was started in 2023, there weren’t enough
Paramedics available for hire, necessitating that one ambulance was staffed at the EMT (Basic) level for
all shifts, with that staffing plan currently remaining, and
WHEREAS, since the inception of ambulance service, other programs, including the Paramedic
tuition assistance program, which utilizes donated funding for County EMTs to attain Paramedic
certification, have allowed for improved availability of Paramedics within the department, as the first
employees to participate in the tuition assistance program are now completing their Paramedic training,
and are anticipated to soon attain Paramedic certification, and
WHEREAS, during the remainder of 2026, it is anticipated that four EMT positions currently existing
within Wayne County EMS can be abolished, with said positions to be simultaneously recreated as
Paramedic positions as each of the four current employees attains Paramedic certification, allowing for all
County ambulances to be routinely staffed at the ALS level; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that, as each of no more than four Wayne County EMS currently employed EMTs
attain Paramedic certification, intended to occur during 2026, but occurring no later than June 30, 2027, the
EMS Director, working in conjunction with Human Resources, shall be authorized to abolish one full time
EMT position and create one full time Paramedic position for each employee enrolled in a Paramedic
education program, as each employee attains Paramedic certification, and be it further
RESOLVED, that the Budget Officer is hereby authorized to amend the 2026 County Budget as
follows:
A3625 Emergency Medical Services

Emergency Management Office Activity Report
For June 2026
Emergency Management protects communities by leading and coordinating the integrated effort to
prepare for, mitigate against, respond to, and recover from all hazards.

DISCUSSION
Thursday, June 18, 2026, saw a storm create multiple power outages across central
and western NYS. We worked closely with our utility liaison, Maureen Riester, to monitor
restoration times and statuses in Wayne County. We were prepared to request dry ice and
bottled water if the outage threatened the contents of refrigerators and freezers.
RESOLUTIONS
• EM07RES01 – Resolution to Appoint Interim Emergency Manager
• EM07RES02 – Authorization to Accept 2025 Local Emergency Management
Performance Grant
• EM07RES03 – Authorization to Accept 2025 State Homeland Security Grant
• Save the Dates
o August 25, 2026 – State Evaluated Ginna Hostile Action-Based Exercise
o October 6, 2026 – FEMA Hostile Action-Based Evaluated Exercise
• EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICE
o Abby Wahl’s last day was June 25th. We will miss her and wish her all the best!
o We are proud to announce that Aimée Phillips passed the International
Association of Emergency Managers exam. The next step is for her credentials
to be reviewed in July, with notification of Associate Emergency Manager
Certification in August if successful. In February 2027, she will be eligible for full
certification as an Emergency Manager. Becoming a Certified Emergency Manager
demonstrates that you possess the strategic planning, hazard mitigation, and
leadership skills needed to guide organizations through complex disasters. The
CEM is the gold-standard credential in the profession, providing internationally
recognized validation of your competence, training, and experience.
▪ Renee Maybee has begun the same multi-step process that combines
formal education, documented field experience, professional contributions,
and a comprehensive exam. Our goal is for her to receive her Associate
Emergency Manager accreditation in 2027.
▪ George Bastedo has recently recertified for a five-year term.
o The Wayne County Emergency Management Office was recently reaccredited by
NYS. We were the ninth county in NYS to achieve accreditation. Accreditation
mandates evaluation across all four phases of emergency management:
preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation. It also requires agencies to
adopt inclusive planning frameworks that explicitly integrate local government
entities, non-governmental partners, and vulnerable populations (such as the
elderly and people with disabilities). By aligning with a unified benchmark, local
agencies ensure that response plans remain highly scalable and well-structured,
easing coordination during major multi-jurisdictional disasters.

Lake Ontario
Lake Ontario’s current water level is hovering around 247.38 feet (75.40 meters). This is
roughly 1.5 feet above the long-term historical average, but still well below the severe
flood stages seen in 2017 and 2019. The lake is theoretically at its seasonal peak,
typically in May or June, and is expected to slowly decline as summer progresses. It is
important to note that any levels above 247 cause planning activities to take place, 247.5’
causes Sodus Point emergency actions to begin and at or above 248’ causes flooding
issues in Sodus Point.
• Ginna
o 2026’s Federally Evaluated Exercise will be a Hostile Action Based (HAB) exercise
WITH a radiological release.
▪ Planning is continuing with the Sheriff’s Office and Monroe County
▪ Review of tabletop exercise took place on June 1st with law enforcement,
Ginna security and WCSO

personnel from various departments attending.
o We are working to identify alternative locations of sufficient size to accommodate a
significant portion of our larger departments, assuming some employees can work

Local Emergency Planning Committee
o A Local Emergency Planning Committee (LEPC) brings together diverse
