“The municipalities within Schenectady County have a long and strong history in
collaboration and shared services for the process outlined in the Part BBB Chapter 59 of the
Laws of 2017, the County of Schenectady convened the County-wide Shared Services Panel to
develop additional collaborations and shared services that will reduce municipal costs and result
in property taxpayer savings.
Three public hearings we held and the County-wide Shared Services Panel met four times
to investigate ideas and develop the County-wide Shared Services Plan. The process was
informed by members of the public, represented labor and the business community. The 2017
Shared Services Plan Timetable is included as Attachment A.
Once fully implemented, the County-wide Shared Services initiatives included in the Plan
are anticipated to save $1,544,470 on an annualized basis. The County has also submitted on
behalf of the Shared Services Panel a grant application through the Municipal Restructuring
Fund which, if received, will leverage additional upfront funding, resulting in greater annualized
savings.
