Shared Municipal Services Incentive
(SMSI) Grant

In October 2006, the East Aurora Village Board, in cooperation with the Town of Aurora, adopted a resolution to pursue the study of shared services along with the possibility of a joint municipal facility through the application of a SMSI grant.

Under the grant, the Town of Aurora serves as lead agency with the focus on consolidating both the Town and Village administrative offices into a single facility in cooperation with the Aurora Town Public Library. Building upon the recommendations of prior studies, evaluating the feasibility of a Town and Village consolidated service center and recommended renovations to the library as separate projects, the Town, Village, and Library have identified a solution to complete the work as a single project. Furthermore, consolidating local municipal offices……would centralize all municipal services in one location in the community and improve the overall efficiency of government operations, as well as improve the ease of use of government services for residents.

In 2007, the joint SMSI grant was awarded in the amount of $396,000, with the Village and Town each contributing $22,000 in shared costs.  Subsequently, a committee comprised of village, town and library officials was created to study and analyze various options.  CRA Infrastructure was appointed the engineering consultant.

The final study was recently completed showing four (4) available options (one of them being "status quo") and costs associated with those options.  That document, prepared by CRA Infrastructure can be downloaded here.

It was the consensus of the SMSI Committee to focus on Option 1, with a referendum scheduled for November 2010.  Prior to the referendum, informational hearings will be held to educate the public and hear all facts on this project.
