BILL NUMBER:S5685A
Title of bill
An act to authorize the town board of the town of Marbletown to hold meetings in the town of Rosendale and the town justice court of the town of Marbletown to hold justice court in the town of Rosendale
Purpose or general idea of bill
This legislation allows the town of Marbletown to move select town services to the currently vacant Rosendale Elementary School in the town of Rosendale in order to achieve a cost savings.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1: Authorizes the town board of Marbletown to adopt a resolution to establish a town hall in the town of Rosendale. Authorizes the town board of Marbletown to adopt a resolution to allow any justice of the town of Marbletown to hold court proceedings in the town of Rosendale should the town board of Rosendale authorize this.
Justification
The towns of Marbletown and Rosendale have determined that a cost savings can be achieved by consolidating the physical locations of their town halls and justice courts within the now vacant Rosendale Elementary School. The facility is already handicap accessible, energy efficient, and will allow Marbletown to rent out or lease its current town hall building which is located desirably on Main Street in the hamlet of Stone Ridge. The leadership or administrations of the involved towns will not merge or change, the physical location will simply shift.
The Marbletown town hall will move 2.8 miles driving distance from its current location.
