A redrafted Resolution of Approval fpr the Group Workcamp of Dutchess County has
been submitted in event the Board wishes to approve this concept at tonight's meeting.
However, the Resolution requires an Indemnification and Hold Harmless Agreement by
Group Workcamp of Dutchess Couijty., This was proposed in the original Resolution
prepared by Group Workeamp of Dutchess County (see attached). However, in order for
an Indemnification and Hold Harmle$s Agreement to be valid, a separate Agreement to that
effect must be signed by Group Wor$camp of Dutchess County. In a nutshell, I would
simply suggest that this matter be discussed tonight and placed on the March Town Board
Agenda for action.
Very truly yours,
