Council authorizes city manager to apply for up to $150,000 in state records-management grant to digitize archives
Summary
The council approved a resolution authorizing the city manager to apply to the New York State Local Government Records Management Improvement Fund for an archive digitization grant of up to $150,000 and to enter a shared-services agreement with the New Rochelle Industrial Development Agency.
The New Rochelle City Council adopted Resolution 13 authorizing the city manager to submit a shared-services application to the New York State Local Government Records Management Improvement Fund and to enter a shared-services agreement with the New Rochelle Industrial Development Agency to support digitization of municipal archives.
The city manager described the proposal in the public meeting: "We would like to recommend that the city council authorize the city manager to submit a shared services application to New York State for an archive grant for up to a $150,000. This will ultimately support our digitization that we'd like to have for our archive." Staff thanked colleagues (Kim and Ken in the record) for researching the opportunity.
The resolution authorizes pursuit of the grant and a shared-services agreement; the transcript records the motion and second as Lopez and Kaye and records an affirmative voice vote with no opposition. The record does not specify a matching requirement or a final contract amount beyond the stated maximum of $150,000; those details will depend on the state's award and any terms of the shared-services agreement with the New Rochelle Industrial Development Agency.
