Town of Ossining & Village of Ossining
Request for Proposal – Evaluation of Potential Government Structures
March 2011
Project Description:
The two municipalities, the Town and Village of Ossining, are involved in extensive discussions and studies to determine how services can be delivered to their respective constituencies in the most efficient and cost effective manner through the reduction of duplication and elimination of governmental inefficiencies. The two municipalities were recently awarded a NY Department of State High Priority Planning Grant for $45,000 with a $5000 community match to complete this study. The Village of Briarcliff Manor was a co-applicant of the grant, but decided to discontinue participation in Spring 2010.
This complex matter shall require detailed study of the present delivery of services and redundancies that may or may not be readily apparent, the cost of those services, and how proposed changes shall impact on the taxpayer, e.g. the equalization rate on each jurisdiction, elected officials, form and format of government, political identity and a host of other implications including, but not limited to, how to address the significant portion of the Village of Briarcliff Manor which is within the Town of Ossining. Due to previous consultant studies, a good source of data has been collected that may help expedite an additional study.
