REGULAR BOARD MEETING  TOWN HALL
JUNE 17, 2026  7:30 P.M.

August 14, 2026 through August 31, 2026, due to the unavailability of its own
Dog Control Officer; and
WHEREAS, the Town of Boston is willing to provide such assistance on a
temporary, one-time basis, subject to the terms of an Intermunicipal
Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the proposed Intermunicipal Agreement provides that the Town of
Boston shall not receive any general service fee for such assistance, but that the
Town of Concord shall reimburse the Town of Boston for all actual costs
incurred, including but not limited to transportation, veterinary expenses,
boarding, and any other services rendered in connection with the handling and
care of dogs from the Town of Concord; and
WHEREAS, Article 5-G of the New York State General Municipal Law authorizes
municipal corporations to enter into cooperative agreements for the
performance of shared services; and
WHEREAS, the Town Board finds that it is in the best interest of the Town to
authorize this temporary cooperation to assist a neighboring municipality and
ensure continuity of animal control services;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Boston
hereby authorizes the Town Supervisor to execute the Intermunicipal
Agreement with the Town of Concord, substantially in the form presented, for
the provision of dog control services from August 14, 2026 through August 31,
2026, with all costs to be reimbursed by the Town of Concord; and be it further
RESOLVED, that the Town Supervisor is hereby authorized to take any and all
actions necessary to effectuate the terms of said Agreement.
