S1483-2013 Memo

BILL NUMBER:S1483

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to authorize the village of Oyster Bay Cove, town of Oyster Bay, county
of Nassau to expend trust funds for the construction of a village hall
and police headquarters

PURPOSE: The bill authorizes the Village of Oyster
Bay Cove to expend
trust funds from the recreation site and improvement fund for the
construction of a village hall and police headquarters.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Authorizes the Village of
Oyster Bay Cove to
expend certain funds from the recreation, site and improvement fund
for the construction of a village hall and police headquarters on
Route 25A.

The expenditure will only be made following a majority vote of the
Board of Trustees of the Village of Oyster Bay Cove and will not
exceed $955,851.

JUSTIFICATION: The Village of Oyster Bay Cove seeks
to utilize funds
from the recreation, site and improvement fund for the construction
of a village hall and police headquarters. The Village seeks access
to these funds in order to provide for the general safety and welfare
of the Village residents and the long-term sustainability and future
of the Village. The current Village Hall is an outdated leased
trailer and does not adequately meet the needs of the Village
residents. The separate Police Headquarters is almost beyond it
useful life and requires a significant upgrade.

Section 7-730 of the New York State Village Law requires legislative
approval to expend funds not used exclusively for recreational uses.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: S.4254 of 2011/12.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.
