Re:  Resolution Supporting Additional Funding

As you know, Governor Hochul has released her 30-day amendments to the 2026-2027 Executive
Budget, and we are pleased to report that they include an additional $100 million in Temporary
Municipal Assistance (TMA) to be allocated in the same manner as in the past two years.
