Board approves shared highway services agreement with Town of Jewett
Summary
The board approved Resolution No. 11 of 2026 to authorize a multi-year shared-service agreement with Greene County permitting sharing of sand, salt and equipment when needed; the draft was signed by the highway superintendent on Feb. 17 and the agreement runs approximately through 01/01/2030.
The Chair introduced Resolution No. 11 of 2026, a shared-service agreement between Greene County and the Town of Jewett intended to allow county and town highway crews to share salt, sand and equipment in winter-response situations.
The Chair said the highway superintendent signed the draft on Feb. 17 and described the agreement as memorializing longstanding "good neighbor" practice so that identical contract language would be in place for FEMA or state reimbursement if an emergency required it. The Chair said the term runs roughly four to five years, with an end date listed as 01/01/2030 in the draft. After motion and second, the board conducted a roll call and the Chair announced the resolution was approved.
No specific payment from Greene County to the town was recorded in the discussion; the Chair said the arrangement is intended to leave each party "whole" if materials are borrowed and later replaced.
