Draft 2019 Shared Services Plan Public Meetings

The Draft 2019 Plan includes 12 new projects and 10 projects continued from the 2018 Plan. The current draft of the Plan would save panel members $3,696.090 in 2020 and $8,271,715 in 2021, if fully implemented by participating Towns, Villages and other Districts.

New York State requires counties to convene panels to explore, draft and then submit shared service plans. Successful new shared service projects may then apply to NYS for matching funds for any tax savings the panel members can demonstrate having achieved.

Highlights of the Draft 2019 Plan include: Procurement Center for Excellence, GML Review Efficiency, Animal Control and Shelter and Highway Department Equipment Sharing. Details of these projects and others are included in the attached Draft 2019 Plan. The Plan was submitted to the Rockland County Legislature on November 1, 2019. Panelists will vote on the Draft 2019 Plan at 5:00 PM, Wednesday, December 18, 2019, at the Rockland County Fire Training Center Auditorium, 35 Firemen's Memorial Dr, Pomona, NY.
