Libous encourages municipal cooperation
CHENANGO COUNTY – About 30 town, city and village highway workers gathered at the Chenango County Department of Transportation in Norwich Tuesday to see New York State Sen. Thomas W. Libous present a check for $225,000.
In an effort to encourage municipal cooperation and shared services, the money will be used to purchase a roller and a front end loader. Standing in front of examples of the equipment to be purhcased, Sen. Libous - who is chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee - said he was following-up on a meeting he had with highway superintendents here six months ago.
“This is more than just a check ... I wanted to show appreciation for the men and women who work on the local level and who make our transportation system a safe and effective system,” he said. “It’s a small way for me to show that the Senate Transportation Committee appreciates the work they do.”
The 52nd District Republican Senator will deliver state monies intended for capital expenditures to transportation departments in Broome and Tioga counties as well.
Chenango County Department of Public Works Director Randy Gibbon said the county’s attorney would write a user agreement stipulating equipment operations and maintenance requirements. “Only qualified people will be able to use the new equipment,” he said. Gibbon also said, with the gift, a similar roller listed in the county’s DOT equipment budget for 2007 could be eliminated.
Libous told highway personnel yesterday that because of the limited resources available to towns and villages, the equipment could “potentially mean you won’t have to go back to local taxpayers.”
Chenango County Board of Supervisors Chairman Richard B. Decker thanked the Senator on behalf of those in attendance. “By making this equipment available for all to use, this is a benefit for all of the highway departments,” he said.
