The Rockland County Legislature's agenda Tuesday includes a possible new law, financial updates and the remembrance of a murdered 15-year-old Nanuet girl.

Legislators are considering the override of two vetoes by County Executive Ed Day, including one that would require additional funding to get the county's bus fleet washed daily.

Brega Transport Corp. is seeking about $300,000 to wash the county's Transport of Rockland and Tappan ZEExpress buses daily through the end of 2014, and four times that amount on an annual basis.

Day vetoed the proposal on various grounds, including his belief that Brega should know the industry standards call for frequent washings and as such, should have allowed for the cost in its bid to operate the buses.

Some county legislators believe Brega's bid spelled out the company would provide washings once a week and additional washings would cost more. They back the additional payments.

Legislators will also consider overriding Day's veto of a proposal meant to provide legal consistency between county regulations and municipal building and zoning codes when it comes to historic structures.

The proposal came about after a local property owner was told by the county Health Department that he needed to update fire safety in his building to include sprinklers or a fire escape. He argued to legislators that the building, dating to around the Civil War era, had been "grandfathered" under Clarkstown town law and should be grandfathered under county law, as well.

The Legislature will also formally receive and file two financial reports.

The first details the results of the annual audit of the county's Summit Park Hospital and Nursing Home and the state of the facility's finances as of Dec. 31, 2013 and 2012. The second report details the state of the county's overall finances as of Dec. 31, 2013.

Both reports serve as tools to aid Day and legislators as they move to finalize a 2015 county budget. Day is required to submit his proposed budget by Oct. 23.

In response to supporters of the "Ban the Box" effort, legislators may vote to request the state to modify civil service law. The change would allow people with criminal records to fill out job applications and go through interviews prior to being asked about or undergoing a criminal background check.

Legislators will also adopt a resolution conveying condolences to, and support of, the family of Lisa Thomas, 15, who was murdered after leaving home and heading to the Nanuet Mall 40 years ago on Tuesday. Clarkstown police are still working the case; call Detective Christopher Maloney at 845-639-5865.

The Legislature meeting starts at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Allison-Parris County Office Building in New City.
