RESOLUTION NO. 179 (08) OPPOSING THE PROPOSED CHANGES TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH LAW, CONSOLIDATING LOCAL REGISTRARS OF VITAL STATISTICS

WHEREAS, the NYS Department of Health has developed a program bill that would allow the Commissioner to consolidate the function of the local registrars of vital statistics, and

WHEREAS, the Commissioner could consolidate these services without county legislative approval, and

WHEREAS, the local town and village Clerks have provided this service professionally and efficiently over the years, and

WHEREAS, many citizens are under financial stress due to high fuel costs, and

WHEREAS, the County’s geography would increase this burden since services would be located further from the residents,

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that in the interest of good government, the Macedon Town Board opposes the consolidation of the function of local registrars of vital statistics,

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to our Governor and State Elected Officials to encourage their support and move this proposal forward.

The home would be constructed on .78 acres in the upper parking area and house six individuals.
