Public Hearing On 6/21/11

Town Board Meeting Agenda for 6/21/11 lists a Public Hearing to "Adopt a Resolution Adopting Local Law #1 of 2011 Amending Chapter 51 of the Town of Irondequoit Code Relating to Purchasing Policy". Basically, the amendments increase the "ceiling" of public works contracts, goods and services, and bids. The resolution below states that:
"the amendments and additions proposed by the Town Comptroller would conform the Town Code to amendments to the General Municipal Law relating to the dollar value of contracts for goods and services and for public works subject to formal bidding; would clarify the role of the Town Board relative to appropriations for contracts; would authorize the Town Supervisor to implement regulations consistent with Board policy; and would establish policy preferences for (a) considering the life cycle costs or goods or services when evaluating bids or proposals and (b) encourage environmentally preferable purchasing whenever feasible and economically responsible...."

Um, Yes, Really.

 UPDATE AT BOTTOM OF BLOG 6/17:

May 17th, 2011 Town Board Meeting.

At the May 17 Board Meeting there was a Public Hearing to discuss programs to spend federal Tax Dollars from HUD in the CDBG program. Part of that dealt with the roof at Pinegrove.

Some residents had raised the question of how much work or how much money needs to be spent on the roof. They thought it might be too much, and could that money go for the "poor people" it is intended to help instead of an overpriced roof.
