NEW CITY – Rockland County Executive Edwin Day is will launch a county-wide shared services initiative with the first session on Tuesday, May 2 at Rockland Community college.
The initiative calls on the county executive to develop a plan to save tax dollars by having municipalities and taxing districts share and centralize services.
“It’s not going to be easy, but we owe it to our constituents to explore every possible way to streamline government and make it more efficient and less costly,” Day said.
The county exec called on over 50 government agencies to participate
in the panel, including town supervisors, mayors, school superintendents
and officials from sewer districts, solid waste authorities and ambulance
districts.
“The possibilities for saving tax dollars and streamlining government by combining our efforts and reducing duplication will benefit our residents and businesses and improve the quality of life in Rockland County,” Day said.
