Kashimer, Deputy County Executive VILLAGE OF RHINEBECK BY: Gary Basset Mayor 22-0682-7/23-f2 17949 3 2|2023 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. 17949 6 Budget, Finance, and Personnel Committee Roll Call District District 7 - Hyde Park and Pleasant Valley District 25 - Amenia, Washington, Pleasant Valley & Millbrook District 3 - LaGrange District 16 - Fishkill and Beacon District 9 - City of Poughkeepsie District 2 - LaGrange, Pleasant Valley & Town of Poughkeepsie District 5 - Town of Poughkeepsie District 8 - City and Town of Poughkeepsie District 10 - City of Poughkeepsie District 12 - East Fishkill District 17 - Town and Village of Fishkill District 21 - East Fishkill 10 Present: Absent: Vacant: Resolution: Motion: Name Yes No Truitt* Houston* Polasek* Valdés Smith* Atkins* Travepiece vol Absent D'Aquanni Brendli Johnson Metzger McHoul Absent Caswell (C) Total: Abstentions: 10 Yes 0 No 2024214 AUTHORIZING PAYMENT OF 2022 INVOICE FROM 2024 FUNDS AS IT PERTAINS TO THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE DECEMBER 5, 2024 Roll Call Sheets District Present: Absent: Vacant: Last Name District 7 - Hyde Park and Pleasant Valley District 25 - Amenia, Washington, Pleasant Valley & Millbrook District 3 - LaGrange District 16 - Fishkill and Beacon District 9 - City of Poughkeepsie District 1 - Town of Poughkeepsie District 2 - LaGrange, Pleasant Valley & Town of Poughkeepsie District 4 - Hyde Park and Town of Poughkeepsie District 5 - Town of Poughkeepsie District 6 - Town of Poughkeepsie District 8 - City and Town of Poughkeepsie District 10 - City of Poughkeepsie District 11 - Clinton, Pleasant Valley, and Rhinebeck District 12 - East Fishkill District 13 - East Fishkill and Wappinger District 14 - Wappinger and Town of Poughkeepsie District 15 - Wappinger District 17 - Town and Village of Fishkill District 18 - City of Beacon and Fishkill District 19 - North East, Stanford, Pine Plains, Milan & Red Hook District 20 - Red Hook, Tivoli, and Rhinebeck District 21 - East Fishkill District 22 - Beekman and Union Vale Truitt Houston Polasek Valdés Smith Atkins Gorman Travelpiece Lawler D'Aquanni Kaul Brendli Johnson Kearney Metzger Paoloni Versaci Faust McHoul Page Drago Munn Caswell Garito 25 District 23 - Pawling, Beekman and East Fishkill Rolison Distic 21- Dovorand Pawing House Resolution: _ Motion: - Total : 25 Yes Abstentions: O NO No 2024214 AUTHORIZING PAYMENT OF 2022 INVOICE FROM 2024 FUNDS AS IT PERTAINS TO THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE DECEMBER 9, 2024
