SHARING OF COSTS FOR THE COUNTY'S EFFORTS AT INCREASING
DISTRIBUTIONS FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF LOCAL AFFAIRS

Re: Intergovernmental Agreement for Payment of Bonus Amounts for Certain Reported Oil
and Gas Employees (Town of Windsor)
Dear Mr. Barker:
Enclosed you will find two (2) signed original Intergovernmental Agreement(s) for Payment of
Bonus Amounts for Certain Reported Oil and Gas Employees Residing Within Municipal
Boundaries, together with a copy of the Resolution of the Windsor Town Board approving same.
I am referring the enclosed to you for signature by the Commissioners' representative.
I note that the year appearing on the first page is now out of date. Would it be possible for your
office to make that modification? I also note that the spelling of Mayor John Vazquez's last
name is incorrect on the signature page. Given that Mayor Vazquez has signed and corrected the
spelling in the enclosed, there is no need to do anything further with it. However, we would ask
that your office make note of the correct spelling of the Mayor's name for future reference.
Once Commissioner Conway has signed the enclosed, please return one (1) signed original to
this office for further handling. I will check in with your office in about 30 days if I have not
seen the signed original before then.
Thank you for your attention to this request. Please contact me if you have any questions.
Sincerely yours,
FREY McCARGAR FLOCK & ROOT, LLC
