REQUEST FROM THE TOMPKINS COUNTY COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS: The Town Board was asked to consider the following resolution that was adopted by TCCOG: Resolution to Establish a TCCOG Funding Reserve Moved by Ms. Robertson, seconded by Mr. Driscoll, and unanimously adopted by voice vote by members present. Whereas, on occasion, the Tompkins County Council of Governments (TCCOG) needs a modest source of funding for projects that are of mutual benefit to the majority of municipalities with TCCOG, and Whereas, a quick funding response to projects that arise unplanned is not currently possible because of the nature of TCCOG that requires each member to return to each of their municipal boards with funding requests, a process that can take months, and results in uneven and unpredictable funding amounts, and 11 Whereas, the continued sense of volunteerism and mutual interest that has been important to TCCOG is still encouraged and highly valued, and Whereas, funding proposals should be oriented toward projects that serve the broadest interests of all TCCOG members rather than the unique interests of a minority of members, and Whereas, projects are of a one-time nature rather than recurring, now therefore be it Resolved, further, That the County has and will continue to contribute a significant amount of in-kind services, particularly the support provided by the County (currently the Legislature Office), therefore no fee shall be requested from Tompkins County, Resolved, further, That Proposals to appropriate funds must be received by TCCOG Board at least one week prior to the Board meeting, Resolved, further, That the decision to spend TCCOG reserves on a submitted proposal will be made based by a 2/3 majority vote of those attending the TCCOG meeting where the proposal is being presented and discussed, Resolved, further, That Tompkins County will administer the TCCOG Reserves. Adopted Resolution No. 003 - 2010 After further consideration, the Town Board adopted the following: 11-37 RESOLUTION, offered by Kathy Miller and seconded by Connie Wilcox: RESOLVED, that the Town of Lansing contribute a $250.00 fee annually to TCCOG on a voluntary basis.
