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 enter into 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 snow plowing, sanding and salting of the road, thereby greatly

decreasing the cost to the County of the road maintenance performed; and

 WHEREAS, a 0.18-mile length of County Road 155 (Main Street, Phoenicia)

and a 2.90-mile length of County Road 145 (Galli-Curci Road), both in the Town of

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

to maintain them; and

WHEREAS, the Ulster County Commissioner of Public Works has requested

that the Chairman of the Ulster County Legislature enter an agreement with the Town

of Shandaken for the Town to perform snow plowing, sanding, and salting on these

roads, which total 3.08 centerline miles, for the fixed fee of $22,000.00 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 enter an agreement with the Town of Shandaken for the performance of

snow plowing, sanding and salting for the period from 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 move its adoption.
