EXHIBIT A
Dutchess County agrees to reimburse a municipality for a sum not to exceed $5,000.00 toward
the cost of a subscription to Granicus, LLC (Granicus) software on an annual basis. The
subscription shall be limited to Address Identification and Compliance Monitoring modules only
for local municipalities who have adopted short-term rental regulations and are looking for
assistance in communicating those regulations. The annual fee for these two modules range
from $2,500 (for a municipality with fewer than 50 listings) to $5,000 or more (for
municipalities with more than 50 listings where the cost is calculated on a per listing basis). The
municipality agrees that any reimbursements made by the County under this Intermunicipal
Agreement will not exceed $5,000.00 annually.
Granicus will provide municipalities the addresses of short-term rentals and features the ability
to send customized letters to hosts outlining zoning requirements, noise ordinance terms,
building code requirements, and other information pertaining to their rental. There are a small
percentage of listings where Granicus will have identified a rental listing, the approximate road
location, and provide pictures of the rental unit, but not have an exact physical address - in these
cases, the municipality will be asked to assist Granicus in gathering an exact street location.
In order to receive reimbursement from the County, the municipality must submit Local Short-
Term Rental Regulations and a copy of a paid invoice from Granicus within thirty (30) days of
the municipality's receipt of the invoice from Granicus.
