County OKs purchase of shared highway equipment
NORWICH – One of the first actions taken by the Chenango County Board of Supervisors this year was to authorize the purchase of road construction equipment that will be shared among the 21 townships.
Sen. Thomas Libous promised the county $225,000 in New York State Department of Transportation funds during a campaign stop at the Chenango County highway garage in November of 2006. Members of the county’s Public Works Committee and the Chenango County Town Highway Superintendents Association worked together in order to design a plan for sharing the equipment. A mower boom tractor, self-propelled sweeper, tag behind sweeper, rubber tire roller and a power washer system are to be purchased and available to highway department in the spring, DPW Director Randy Gibbon said.
The resolution passed with only Town of Plymouth Supervisor Jerry L. Kreiner voting against the measure. Kreiner and other members of the Public Works Committee repeatedly questioned issues regarding the county’s liability for the shared equipment.
County legislators also signed an agreement with the Chenango County Area Corporation for $74,250. The Area Corporation is designed to promote economic welfare and encourage and support commerce and industry in the county.
Other business conducted yesterday included the authorization of annual government support for the following not-for-profit organizations, agencies and boards:
• Chenango County Cornell Cooperative Extension, $240,295.
• Chenango County Tourism (a function of the Chenango County Chamber of Commerce), $40,300.
• Chenango County SUNY Morrisville campus contract, $33,946.
• Chenango County Council of the Arts, $6,600.
• Chenango County Historical Society and Museum, $5,000.
• Chenango County Chamber of Commerce, $4,000.
In addition, the board accepted the resignation of Wayne C. Outwater from the Chenango County Industrial Development Board. Town of Greene Supervisor Jack T. Cook was appointed in Outwater’s place. And, newly elected Town of McDonough Supervisor Arrington Canor was appointed to the Public Works and Safety & Rules Committees. All other committee appointments remained unchanged from 2007.
