Approve the sale of town-owned property known on the tax map as Section 47.18, Parcel 1, Lot 21

Approve the request by Mohegan Manor Adult Care Facility to assess the feasibility of connecting to the Yorktown Sewer System

WHEREAS, Mohegan Manor Adult Care Facility operates a residential facility for approximately 150 physically and mentally challenged seniors at 3441 Lexington Avenue, Mohegan Lake, New York (“Mohegan Manor”) within the Town of Cortlandt (at the intersection of Route 6 and Lexington Avenue);

WHEREAS, Mohegan Manor has informed the Town that it has an aging septic system and is seeking to connect to the Town of Yorktown Sewer System on a temporary, emergency basis;

WHEREAS, representatives of the Town of Yorktown met with Mohegan Manor, its representatives, and representatives of the Town of Cortlandt in an attempt to determine if the Town of Yorktown could be of help to Mohegan Manor and permit a temporary, emergency sewer connection;

WHEREAS, Yorktown Officials advised Mohegan Manor that such a sewer connection could only be entertained and considered if the Town’s sewer system (pipes, manholes, appurtenances) is determined to have adequate capacity at or about the potential point(s) of interconnection, and no adverse consequences will be sustained by the Town’s system if this connection is ultimately approved; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT:

The Town Board hereby authorizes Mohegan Manor to conduct and perform a sewer capacity analysis, feasibility study and related testing under the supervision of the Yorktown Engineering Department and/or Department of Public Works, provided, that Mohegan Manor delivers to the Town: a) such insurance as the Town shall require, b) a full indemnity of the Town by Mohegan Manor covering the Town against damage, injury, harm and/or related causes of action, and any and all costs incurred by, or on behalf of, Town employees in supervising or assisting with said testing, and c) a License Agreement permitting temporary entrance by Mohegan Manor or its contractors onto the property or rights of way of the Town solely to perform such testing.
