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,

Maio, and Maloney)

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 6.2-mile length of County Road 102, and a 3.77-mile length of

County Road 7A, and a 1.73-mile length of County Road 145, all in the Town of

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

Hardenburgh 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 Hardenburgh for the

Town to perform summer light maintenance, snow plowing, sanding, and salting on

these roads, which total 11.7 centerline miles, for a term of three (3) years

commencing October 1, 2017 and ending September 30, 2020, for a fee of

$83,615.00 for the first year and an annual escalation fee of 2% annually for the term

of the agreement; 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 $3,060.00 first year and an annual escalation fee of 2% annually for the

term of the agreement; now, therefore, be it 

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

authorized to execute and Intermunicipal Shared Services Agreement, and any

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

summer light maintenance, snow plowing, sanding and salting of a 6.2-mile length of

County Road 102, and a 3.77-mile length of County Road 7A, and a 1.73-mile length

of County Road 145, 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
