Th~= act shall t~ke effect ~mmed£ately. S.~7~ by Senator LaValle MEMORANDUM In support of AN ACT to establish the Suffolk county intergovernmental relations council. Purpose & Summary To create the Suffolk county intergovernmental relations council as a forum for discussion and problem solving between the governmental entities in Suffolk County, Justification The Suffolk County Cost Cutting conferences that have been held over the last two years have raised several issues which are in need of coordination. By creating a council which is open to the membership of all the more than 100 governmental entities in Suffolk the ideas that have been raised could be implemented and additional ideas would be likely to arise. Reducing duplication will certainly result in cost savings to the residents of Suffolk County. Effective Date This act shall take effect immediately.
