Each day, Patch provides the nuts and bolts of local happenings with our five-bullet local dispatch.
1) There is more snow in the forecast for Tuesday, primarily in the morning, with two to four inches expected to fall. The high temperature is projected to only reach 30 degrees.
2) The Rockland County Legislature open its 7 p.m. meeting with a public hearing on “Best Value Award Methodology” for purchase contracts. The proposed local law is based on state amended in January 2013, which allows local government to look at other criteria beside price when purchasing goods and services. The legislature will consider action on any budget vetoes issued by the county executive. The Rockland County Legislature meets at 11 New Hempstead Road in New City.
