Whereas, the Town of Ithaca owns a 2018 Grasshopper Model 725DT- serial – 6819362 with 633 hours on it and purchased in 2018 with a purchase price of $15,202.25; and
Whereas, the Equipment is scheduled and budgeted to be replaced in 2025 and has an estimated trade-in value of t/- $9000, and
Whereas, the Town received a request from the Board of Trustees of Lake View Cemetery Co. Inc. (Cemetery) to transfer the ownership of the Equipment to the Cemetery for the sole use
of the necessary and proper maintenance of the Cemetery; and
Whereas, NYS General Municipal Law Section 165-a explicitly authorizes this type of gift and the Town wishes to support the management and maintenance efforts of the Cemetery, whichwould
otherwise become the responsibility of the Town upon the dissolution of the Cemetery Corporation and abandonment of the Cemetery; now therefore be it,
Resolved, that the Ithaca Town Board declares the Equipment to be surplus and no longer needed by the Town, and authorizes the transfer of the Equipment to Lake View Cemetery Co. Inc.;
and be it further
Resolved, that the Town Supervisor is authorized to sign an agreement with Lake View Cemetery Co. Inc. for the transfer of the Equipment
