Board advances shared-services IMA draft, seeks internal-control language before winter

Red Hook Town Board · September 9, 2026

Summary

The board agreed to forward draft intermunicipal shared-services language to the highway superintendent with added internal-control provisions (logs, HR controls, reimbursement processes) and set a goal to finalize a draft by October to ensure accountability when lending equipment between municipalities.

Supervisor Robert presented proposed language to expand the town's intermunicipal agreement (IMA) on shared services and equipment and emphasized fiduciary responsibilities to track loaned equipment and services. "We have a fiduciary...to make sure there's a proper accounting of those pieces of equipment and services," Robert said, urging internal controls such as logs and reimbursement tracking.

Board members agreed to forward the draft to the highway superintendent for review, requested specific feedback on any problematic clauses, and set a target to have internal-control language ready by October so the town can finalize procedures ahead of winter operations.
