RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE TOWNS OF WEBB & INLET REQUESTING A CHANGE IN NEW YORK STATE LAW ALLOWING FOR THE CONSOLIDATION OF ADJOINING POLICE DEPARTMENTS IN SEPARATE COUNTYS

Whereas, financial pressures on local government budgets are forcing municipalities to ------examine how they deliver their services, and

Whereas, the Governor of New York State has encouraged all local governments to find ------efficiencies and reduce the number of agencies wherever possible, and

Whereas, the Towns of Webb and Inlet in Herkimer and Hamilton-counties are currently --- e engaged in formal discussions regarding the possibilities of consolidating police - -- p protection services, and

Whereas, current New York State law does not contain a provision allowing Towns to ------consolidate police departments across county lines, and

Whereas, the communities believe it is now appropriate to explore this opportunity for ------enhanced efficiencies in municipal service delivery, and

Whereas, the elected officials and staff of both Towns have had a longstanding practice of ------working together to resolve mutual problems, and

Whereas, the Towns of Webb and Inlet Police departments have had an inter-agency ------agreement in place allowing for shared policing, they still have duplicated staffing as in------separate Police Chiefs and equipment needs that could be streamlined, and

Whereas, the Town Supervisors, Police Chiefs, and designated Town Board members serving ------on a jointly formed committee have been holding monthly meetings open to the ------public, and

Whereas, the Towns have gone as far as they can without New York State legislative approval ------passed in both the Assembly and Senate then signed into law by the Governor, and

Whereas, both Towns believe that the aforementioned issue can be resolved with support ------from Our New York State legislative bodies and the Governors office.

Now Therefore Be It Resolved that the Towns of Webb and Inlet in Herkimer and Hamilton ------counties request the same consolidation privileges across shared county lines that those ------within county lines enjoy under New York State law. 8 INLET WATER RESOURCE RECOVERY FACILITY APRIL 2017 OPERATION REPORT

The waste water treatment plan has not experienced any excursions from the NYSPDES permit parameters. Average flows are unusually low, probably do to the extremely poor weather . The plant has been receiving an influx of an acid from illegal dumping into the sewer district. Additional chemicals have been purchase to offset the toxin . The chemicals required are expensive as well as the extra time required to monitor and correct the issues. The generator of the toxin has not been identified, but testing thru-out the system will continue until the source is identified. DEC is aware and will assist if necessary with enforcement.

The gear drive on the tertiary drum filter failed. John McGowen of Koester associates was able to assist in a rebuild of the unit instead of replacement. There has been a request to connect to the sewer system by Henry Heath. Brad Fox continues to train at the plant . .
