ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE CITY OF TROY TO ACCEPT GRANT FUNDING FROM THE NEW YORK STATE DIVISION OF HOMELAND SECURITY AND EMERGENCY SERVICES FOR INFRASTRUCTURE WORK ON THE TROY SEAWALL AND AMENDING THE CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND BUDGET TO APPROPRIATE FUNDING FROM SAID GRANT

The City of Troy, convened in City Council, ordains as follows:

Section 2. The City of Troy 2021 budget is herein amended as set forth in Schedule A entitled:

which is attached hereto and made a part hereof

Section 3. This act will take effect immediately.

Richard T. Morrissey, Corporation Counsel ORD14

MEMO IN SUPPORT

As noted in the Mayor’s State of the City address, the City has received an additional $11,413,826.47 in grant funding for the Seawall Project. This Ordinance accepts the grant funding and amends the project budget.

The funding, which can only be used for costs associated with the Seawall Project, will be specifically used towards paying off the outstanding debt associated with the Project.

Funds are going to be used first to pay-off the outstanding $7,893,000 in bond anticipation notes that are split between the City’s February and July debt issuances.

The remaining balance is being transferred to the Debt Service Fund. It will be held in abeyance for future principal and interest costs associated with the $5,000,000 serial bond that was issued against previously issued bond anticipation notes. Since the serial bond cannot be prepaid, the City will use these funds over the remaining life of the debt to level off annually the budgetary impact to the City.

Dear Ms. Bink:

All other Terms and Conditions of the Project Approval remain unchanged.

Should additional information be required, please contact Luis Avila, Sandy Grants Branch Chief FEMA Region II at 202-285-9387 or Katrina Hill, Sandy Grants FEMA Region II at 917-533-3383.

RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO ENTER INTO A MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT TO SHARE HOUSEHOLD HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL SERVICES WITH THE TOWNS OF EAST GREENBUSH AND BETHLEHEM

WHEREAS, there is a recognized need to provide Household Hazardous Waste collection services in order to safely and properly dispose of hazardous materials; and

WHEREAS, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation provides grant funding for municipally-run Household Hazardous Waste collection programs for up to 50% of eligible program costs; and

WHEREAS, the City of Troy previously entered into a two year contract with MXI Environmental Services, LLC, for the collection and processing of Household Hazardous Wastes on designated Hazardous Waste collection days; and

WHEREAS, the Town of East Greenbush and the Town of Bethlehem desire to “piggyback” onto this contract, sharing the services and costs of collection and disposal of Household Hazardous Wastes in a fair and equitable manner; and

WHEREAS, the City of Troy, the Town of East Greenbush, and the Town of Bethlehem desire to enter into a Memorandum of Agreement in order to share services in connection with joint Household Hazardous Waste collection events.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Mayor of the City of Troy is hereby authorized to enter into an Agreement with the Town of East Greenbush and the Town of Bethlehem for the purpose of sharing services and offering joint Household Hazardous Waste collection events, said Agreement to conform substantially with the Agreement attached hereto.

Approved as to form, ______, 2021

Richard T. Morrissey, Corporation Counsel

RES11

Memo in Support

In September of 2020, the City Of Troy entered into a dialogue with the Town of East Greenbush and the Town of Bethlehem regarding the significance and cost-saving capabilities of shared services agreements for Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) event services. The value of this type of arrangement is not limited to this type of event, but also lays the groundwork for additional opportunities in the future.

Since September, the three municipalities have been engaged in a series of zoom meetings to iron out the details. Collectively, the three have been in communication with NYSDEC and the HHW vendor, to be certain that all requirements are met and everything is addressed in an appropriate manner. All stakeholders involved in these conversations have agreed that this is a beneficial arrangement, both fiscally as well as on a community level.

Troy already has a two year contract with MXI to haul and dispose of HHW. Hence it is the “lead agency” in this arrangement. East Greenbush and Bethlehem intend to ‘piggyback’ on Troy’s contract. The Corporation Counsels of the three municipalities have reviewed the shared services agreement, and have approved it subject to insurance contingencies and MXI’s agreement to the arrangement.

RES11

MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT Regarding Joint Household Hazardous Waste Collection Events

This Memorandum is made this __ day of ______, 2021, by and between THE CITY OF TROY, a municipal corporation with offices located at 433 River Street, Troy, NY 12180 (hereinafter referred to as “Troy”), THE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM, a municipal corporation with offices located at 445 Delaware Avenue, Delmar, NY 12054 (hereinafter referred to as “Bethlehem”), and THE TOWN OF EAST GREENBUSH, a municipal corporation with offices located at 225 Columbia Turnpike, Rensselaer, NY 12144 (hereinafter referred to as “East Greenbush”) (Troy, Bethlehem, and East Greenbush shall be collectively referred to as “Parties”), WHEREAS, the Parties recognize a need to provide household hazardous waste (“HHW”) collection for their residents, and that HHW collection events offer environmental and economic benefits by allowing residents to safely and properly dispose of materials which otherwise cannot be disposed of through conventional solid waste collection; and WHEREAS, the Parties have identified an opportunity, by sharing resources, transferring knowledge, and jointly procuring needed services, to offer a joint annual program of HHW collection events which will, in the case of Troy and Bethlehem, expand HHW collection opportunities and, in the case of East Greenbush, begin to offer HHW collection opportunities to residents; and WHEREAS, Troy has entered into a contract with HHW collections and processing services vendor, MXI, which is attached as Appendix A, and Bethlehem and East Greenbush desire to “piggyback” onto this contract; and WHEREAS, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) provides grant funding for municipally-run HHW collection programs to effectively reduce HHW and to provide a safe alternative for recycling or disposal of household hazardous materials, with grant funding of up to 50 percent of eligible program costs; and NOW, THEREFORE, Troy, Bethlehem, and East Greenbush agree as follows: 1. The Parties will partner to jointly and collaboratively host a program of HHW collection events (the “Program”). The Program will consist of a series of events at which a pre- determined number of residents from each municipality (“attendees”) will be able to bring specified HHW materials for collection. A summary of the 2021 Program is included in Appendix B.

1

RES11

2. The Parties will use the HHW vendor contract Troy has in place with MXI. Bethlehem and East Greenbush will enter into separate contracts with MXI using the “piggyback” provisions written into the existing Troy-MXI contract.

3. The Parties agree to host one (1) event each (for Bethlehem and East Greenbush, and two for Troy), and to partner on other events as identified in the Program. The Parties further agree that they may modify the Program, from time to time, as needs and abilities change.

4. The Host municipality will be responsible for vendor payment for the event(s) it hosts. Each municipality will be responsible for a percentage of final invoices, based on its share of actual number of event attendees. The Host municipality shall keep track of the number of attendees who actually participate in an event and where each attendee is from. The Parties agree that the Host municipality will coordinate reimbursement for each event it hosts. Each Partner municipality agrees to provide payment within a reasonable amount of time upon notification by the Host municipality as to its share of event costs.

5. For those items listed as to be disposed of by the Host municipality (i.e., and not the vendor) in the Materials List (Appendix C), the Parties agree that any profits gained from disposal of these materials collected during the event are to be credited to the Host municipality to be put toward the final invoice(s) for the event(s) they host.

6. The Parties agree that events are to be conducted in accordance with New York State and New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) guidelines for grant funding reimbursement of HHW event costs (currently the NYSDEC HHW State Assistance program). Dependent on NYSDEC requirements and guidance, the remittance to NYSDEC for HHW grant reimbursement will be the joint responsibility of all municipalities. The Host municipality shall submit a request for reimbursement to NYSDEC and, when grant money is received, shall promptly distribute it to the other municipalities in proportion to the number of event attendees from each municipality at the event for which reimbursement was given.

7. Materials accepted from attendees at each event are limited to those accepted by the vendor contract and as listed in the Materials List included as Appendix C for each event. Materials specifically excluded and not able to be collected at any event are also listed in the Materials List.

8. The quantity of HHW material each attendee is permitted to bring to an event will be limited to 30 gallons OR 200 lbs. per attendee registered participant. The Host municipality is responsible for making determinations on the day of the event relative to HHW quantity. If HHW material brought to an event is above this quantity, the attendee will be handled as a business attendee. Business attendees must make an appointment

2

RES11

and must not impact event hours. These entities will be responsible for making appointment with MXI and will receive a separate invoice for their materials.

9. Attendees must pre-register in order to attend an event, and participating in an event requires registration in advance. Attendees must identify their municipality of residency. Proof of residency in a form to be determined by and acceptable to each municipality must be provided in order to register. Attendees must show proof of registration on the day of the event in order to drop off HHW materials and will be assigned a time slot. The Parties may establish and use waiting lists in their discretion.

10. Attendee Registration will be managed jointly and a central registration system established and maintained by the Parties. Each municipality will provide one point of contact for Attendee Registration management purposes.

11. The Parties will be individually responsible for promoting events included in the Program and educating attendees regarding acceptable materials. Promotion and education activities should address vendor contract requirements. The Parties may partner to jointly develop promotional materials.

12. Each Host municipality will be responsible for providing a suitable site for the event(s) they will host. The Host municipality is responsible for preparing a Site Safety Plan. The Host municipality should share the Site Safety Plan with its event partner(s) in advance of each event. The site and Site Safety Plan should meet NYSDEC grant funding requirements. An example site safety plan is included as Appendix D.

13. The Host municipality and Partner municipalities will provide a base level of staffing, site preparation and breakdown, and logistical support in accordance with the Event Staffing and Site Support Schedule included as Appendix E and as further may be required by the Site Safety Plan for each event. Staffing should be in accordance with each municipality’s labor requirements.

14. The Parties agree that, to remain in effect, each year this MOA and the Program must be approved in January, or at the earliest meeting of the local decision-making entity.

15. The Parties do hereby covenant and agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless each other from and against any and all liability, loss, damages, claims or actions (including costs and attorney fees) for bodily injury and/or property damage, to the extent permissible by law, arising out of the indemnitor’s negligence or other culpable conduct and/or arising out of or connected with the hazardous waste collected from the indemnitor’s residents or the waste from tickets issued by the indemnitor.

16. This agreement is contingent upon Bethlehem and East Greenbush entering into a “piggyback” contract with MXI, providing Bethlehem and East Greenbush with the same protections afforded to Troy in its contract with MXI, including but not limited to a

3

RES11

provision requiring MXI to include Bethlehem and East Greenbush as additional insureds on a primary and non-contributing basis on all insurance policies provided to Troy.

17. This agreement is also contingent upon MXI providing to Troy, Bethlehem and East Greenbush insurance coverage in the amount not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for each occurrence and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) general aggregate, providing Site Pollution insurance for any location where collection is occurring and the drop off location, and Non-Owned Disposal Coverage, adding coverage for where the waste is being disposed.

MEMO IN SUPPORT

This resolution authorizes the Mayor to enter into a new sales and use tax agreement with Rensselaer County. The current agreement expires on February 28, 2021. This new agreement covers the period of March 1, 2021 through February 28, 2027, and will encompass the City fiscal years of 2021 through 2026.

The agreement allocates to the City 19.65% of the first $80,000,000 in sales and use tax received by the County, and 9.00% of any amount exceeding $80,000,000. This is consistent with the formula used for the 2020 fiscal year in the expiring contract.

The agreement also allows the City, if it chooses, to continue to pursue and implement an occupancy tax on public accommodations. Such a tax will require the approval of the New York State legislature and the governor.

SALES TAX AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT is effective March 1, 2021 and is by and between RENSSELAER

COUNTY, NEW YORK, a domestic municipal corporation and political subdivision of the State of New

York, having its principal office at the Ned Pattison County Government Center, 1600 Seventh Avenue,

Street, Rensselaer, New York 12144, party of the third part, hereinafter referred to as “Rensselaer".

WHEREAS, Troy has previously rescinded its right of pre-emption of certain non-State sales and

use tax collected within Troy; and

WHEREAS, Rensselaer has not exercised its right of pre-emption of certain non-State sales and use

tax collected within Rensselaer; and

WHEREAS, the County, Troy and Rensselaer are desirous of cooperating with each other without

jeopardizing their respective abilities to raise revenue from other than real property tax sources; and

WHEREAS, the County intends to set aside a certain amount of sales and use tax revenue for County

purposes pursuant to Section 1262(a) of the Tax Law of the State of New York; and

WHEREAS, the County intends to reserve a certain amount of said sales and use tax revenue, as not

set aside for County or educational purposes as defined in Section 1262(c) of the Tax Law, and allocate

same to the cities and areas in the County outside the cities as set forth herein; and

Page 1 of 7

WHEREAS, Troy and Rensselaer are willing to waive their respective rights of pre-emption with respect to the sales and use taxes as a source of revenue and the County is willing to distribute to Troy and

Rensselaer, pursuant to Section 1262(c) of the Tax law of the State of New York, a certain share of the total non-State sales and use taxes collected within Rensselaer County and not set aside for County or educational purposes as hereinafter set forth; and

WHEREAS, Troy and Rensselaer have each elected to receive said allocation in direct payments pursuant to Tax Law Section 1262(c) in lieu of a tax reduction of the county tax levied upon real property in

Troy and Rensselaer; and

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, through their chief executive officers, having first

obtained the consent of their respective legislative bodies, do hereby agree as follows:

DEFINITIONS

Sales Tax Year: the twelve month period in which the County receives Net Collections from New

York State, commencing on March 1 and ending the subsequent February 28 or February 29 during a leap

year. For the purposes of this agreement, all references to sales tax payments, distributions and/or

calculations of same, will be defined as those received and/or paid between March 1st of a given year and

the subsequent February 28th (or February 29th, as the case maybe).
