Approve School Funding Reform Resolution

A motion was made by Councilman Crawford, seconded by Councilwoman Argy to adopt the Association of Towns “Resolution No. 8 – School Funding Reform” as adopted at their 2006 Annual Meeting as follows and forward to the appropriate State officials:

WHEREAS, towns are concerned about the ever-increasing cost of primary and secondary public education borne by real property taxpayers; and

WHEREAS, the increasing fiscal burden of public education on real property taxpayers impacts the ability to provide adequate revenues to fund important town services and programs that ensure the well-being of our communities; now therefore

BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Grand Island, in support of the Association of Towns of the State of New York, calls upon the Governor, the New York State Legislature, and other State officials to develop a solution that will provide adequate State funding for public education, thereby lessening or eliminating dependence on local real property taxes without reducing funding to other local governments and local government programs; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this same Town Board calls upon our State leaders to eliminate costly unfunded mandates, which increase the cost of providing a public education and further strain the real property tax base.

Final Plat Approval – River Meadows Subdivision – Section 5 – 20 Lots

The Town Board previously granted this section final plat approval on August 19, 1996. Subsequently, the plan was revised to account for the new storm water regulations. The Town Board held a Public Hearing on this Project on October 17th, 2005 and due to an error on the map, referred the application to the Town Board. The error was the lot layout that put ownership of the storm water ponds as the Town’s. This has been corrected, with ownership being individual lot owners. The Engineering Department has spoken with personnel from USACOE and the permit is still valid with these changes. The developer is asking for a reaffirmation of this approval to allow filing of the map cover.

The necessary permits are current, we have reviewed the map cover and the fees have been paid previously. The Town Engineer recommends approval.

A motion was made by Councilwoman Cooke, seconded by Councilman Roesch to accept the recommendation of the Town Engineer and reaffirm Final Plat Approval for River Meadows Subdivision – Section 5 (20 lots).
