§ 24-1. Legislative intent.  


Latest version.
  • It is the legislative intent of this Town Board to consolidate and centralize, by this chapter, the structure, functions and duties of the officials and employees within the present Highways and Water Departments so as to permit and foster the orderly operation of the public works functions and responsibilities of the government of the Town of New Castle. Such consolidation is intended to realize efficiencies and economies of administration and operation of the functions presently performed by both departments and thereby avoid duplication of efforts. It is the finding of the Town Board of New Castle that such savings win include, among others, efficiency in the joint use and maintenance of vehicles, consolidation of purchasing, additional contingency resources for functions of both departments, consolidation of telephone and secretarial services and flexibility in assignment of administrative responsibilities.
