County commits to half cost of multi-tier cost-benefit analysis; motion carried
Summary
The committee voted to proceed with a multi-tier cost-benefit analysis (proposal cost $17,245) with Greene County approving a 50% share; the city side will seek approval from its Finance & Taxation Committee.
The committee voted to fund a multi-tier cost-benefit analysis to refine financial and operational tradeoffs between consolidation options. Speaker 2 (identified in the meeting as Jerry) moved that the county pay 50% of the proposed $17,245 study cost; the motion was seconded by Speaker 3 (Dave). Clerk-level staff confirmed the motion and the committee carried the motion after the membership voiced assent.
Speaker 2 framed the motion to advance the study so staff could answer outstanding questions on utility negotiations, landowner willingness and the operational issues to be identified in the consultant’s next report. After the county motion carried, staff said the city would bring the proposal to its Finance and Taxation Committee for the city-side 50% approval at its next scheduled meeting.
No formal roll-call vote listing each member’s vote was recorded in the transcript; meeting minutes should be referred to for an official tally. The committee also left a standing governance item on the agenda for a potential facilities district committee to manage shared facility components if consolidation proceeds.
