The resolution and model agreement have been reviewed by Corporation Counsel and recommended for approval by the Planning, Zoning and Parks Committee. With the recent enactment of new State comprehensive planning legislation and adoption of the County Development Plan, we have many towns that are interested in developing town plans with our assistance. We are working with four towns to start projects this year, and we have at least three towns that are interested in starting projects next year. These agreements will be used as a vehicle to clearly delineate responsibilities and reimburse the County for staff time and expenses. We will also work with communities to obtain State grant funds to support their projects. These local payments for services are part of our current and future revenue projections. Thank you for your review and consideration. I will be available at the County Board meeting to summarize our related program activities and answer your questions. pc: Chuck Whiting Sue Nelson 1
