Referred to: The Public Works and Capital Projects Committee (Chairman Fabiano

and Legislators Greene, Litts, Loughran, and Maloney), and The Ways and Means

Committee (Chairman Gerentine and Legislators Allen, Bartels, Belfiglio, Briggs,

Chairman of the Public Works and Capital Projects Committee, Dean J. Fabiano, and

Deputy Chairman Peter M. Loughran offer the following:

WHEREAS, this resolution has been submitted by the County Executive on

behalf of the Department of Public Works; and

WHEREAS, Sections 133-A, 135, and 135-A of Article 6 of the New York

State Highway Law provide authorization for the County to execute intermunicipal

agreements with towns for the maintenance of County roads and for the County to

lease its highway machinery, tools or equipment to towns for the purpose of

maintaining County roads, subject to approval by resolution of both the Ulster

County Legislature and the respective town board; and

WHEREAS, some County roads are so located that it is more efficient for

towns to perform summer light maintenance, snow plowing, sanding and salting of

the roads, thereby greatly decreasing the cost to the County of the road maintenance

performed; and

WHEREAS, a 2.59-mile length of County Road 127 (McKinstry Road) and a

2.49-mile length of County Road 129 (Sand Hill Road), both in the Town of

Gardiner, are so located that it would be more efficient for the Town of Gardiner to

maintain them; and

WHEREAS, the Ulster County Commissioner of Public Works has requested

that the Chairman of the Ulster County Legislature be authorized to execute an

Intermunicipal Shared Services Agreement with the Town of Gardiner for the Town

to perform snow plowing, sanding, and salting on these roads, which total 5.08

centerline miles, for the fixed fee of $24,130.00 per year for the three year period

beginning October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2020; and

WHEREAS, as part of the agreement, the County will further compensate the

Town, based on the number of centerline miles, a performance incentive in the

amount of $2,000.00 per year, now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, that the Chairman of the Ulster County Legislature is hereby

authorized to execute an Intermunicipal Shared Services Agreement, and any

amendments thereto, with the Town of Gardiner for performance by the Town of

snow plowing, sanding and salting of a 2.59-mile length of County Road 127

(McKinstry Road) and a 2.49-mile length of County Road 129 (Sand Hill Road), for

the period October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2020, in the form as filed with the

Clerk of the Ulster County Legislature or as modified with the approval of the

County Attorney, and, be it further

RESOLVED, that if funding for this program is eliminated then the program

will be eliminated as well,

and move its adoption.
