Committee member: Corning agreed to sign SWAT intermunicipal agreement; committee authorizes up to $20,000 for attorney fees
Summary
A committee member said the city of Corning agreed to sign an intermunicipal agreement for a regional SWAT team and the committee voted to authorize up to $20,000 to cover attorney fees, increasing the previous allocation to provide a buffer while staff reports costs back to the committee.
A committee member reported that the city of Corning "has agreed via email to sign the inter municipal agreement for SWAT," and said Corning plans to take the agreement to its board in April. The member moved that the committee authorize payment of attorney fees up to $20,000 to cover work related to the agreement, saying the current allocation stood at 12 and a larger buffer would avoid repeated returns to the committee for each new bill.
The motion was moved by the committee member and seconded by a participant who is not separately identified in the transcript. The committee called the vote; two voices responded "Aye," and the chair/committee announced the motion carries. The member said staff would report the actual costs to the committee going forward.
The committee's authorization expands the previously available funds to provide flexibility while the intermunicipal agreement proceeds; the transcript records the committee's action but does not record additional details such as a formal ordinance number, a final contract, or a precise current attorney-fee total beyond the participant's statement that it was "12" at the time of the meeting. Corning's next step, as stated in the meeting, is to present the agreement to its board in April.
