County legislator flags tight-deadline grant and short-term rental data for Town of Italy
Summary
Yates County Legislator Pat Killen told the Town Board about a county-hired grant writer (MRB) and a possible infrastructure grant that requires a $250 application fee and a 1% town match; Killen also said the county contracted for a short-term rental inventory and will share results with the town.
Yates County Legislator Pat Killen briefed the Town of Italy Board on county resources and data that may affect local decisions. Killen said the county recently hired MRB, a grant-writing firm, and that MRB identified an infrastructure grant the county does not need but wanted to share with towns. The grant carries a $250 application fee and would require the town to provide 1% of awarded funds as a local match if successful.
Killen also told the board that the county has hired a firm to search for short-term rentals across the county; he will request the Town of Italy list of identified short-term rentals from the county finance office. The town is considering a moratorium on short-term rentals, and board members asked Killen to follow up with the county finance office for the rental inventory. No town application decision was recorded at the meeting; the update was informational and the board will evaluate timing and fiscal implications before pursuing the grant or adopting a moratorium.
