on January 21, I attended a meeting which was attended by 81 people, including elected leaders from towns, villages and the County Legislature. The purpose was to inform the municipalities of the new cooperative effort between the Onondaga Legislature, led Legislative Chairman Ryan McMahon and the towns and villages. There are subcommittees being formed that are going to work out inefficiencies, cost issues and general communication concerns. It was a great meeting and they have agreed to continue meeting quarterly as well as form two subcommittees, each consisting of two Supervisors, one Mayor, and one member of the County Legislature: one for public safety & police issues and one for facilities & snowplowing issues. This is the first time that this cooperative effort has been shown and I look forward to the results of these meetings.
