BILL NUMBER:S4223

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the general municipal law, in relation to consolidating the
village of Woodbury with the town of Woodbury

PURPOSE:
Consolidates the village of Woodbury and the town of Woodbury.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1: Section 792 and 793 of the general municipal law are
renumbered section 793 and 794 and a new section 792 is added.

New section 792 will consolidate the village of Woodbury and the town
of Woodbury.
Notwithstanding and other provision of this article or article two
of the village law, the village of Woodbury and the town of Woodbury,
New York, may form a consolidated local government entity by a joint
consolidation agreement in accordance with the provisions of this
article, except that the new governmental entity to survive shall be
the town (including the existing incorporated village of Harriman)
and such town shall have all of the powers, duties and obligations of
a government under town law, but shall not be eligible for the
formation of any additional villages within its limits. The new
governmental entity to survive shall be governed initially by
then-existing town of Woodbury supervisor and town of Woodbury town
board members.

Section 4: Enacting Clause

JUSTIFICATION:
This legislation was requested by the Village of Woodbury. At the
present time there are numerous, costly duplicate services within the
Village. A coterminous Village/Town is the goal of this legislation
creating significant savings for both entities.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
S.7102-A of 2010

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None to the State.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
Immediate.

  AN ACT to amend the general municipal law, in relation to  consolidating
    the village of Woodbury with the town of Woodbury

    THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
  BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


    Section 1. Legislative intent. It was and is the  intent  of  the  New
  N.Y.    Government Reorganization and Citizen Empowerment Act to provide
  opportunities for local governments and electors to  adopt  consolidated
  forms  of  local  governments, and this act provides that opportunity to
  the village and town of Woodbury upon certain terms.
    S 2. Sections 792 and 793 of the general municipal law are  renumbered
  sections 793 and 794 and a new section 792 is added to read as follows:

    S  792. CONSOLIDATION OF THE VILLAGE OF WOODBURY AND THE TOWN OF WOOD-
  BURY.  NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS ARTICLE,  OR  ARTICLE
  TWO  OF THE VILLAGE LAW, THE VILLAGE AND TOWN OF WOODBURY, NEW YORK, MAY
  FORM A CONSOLIDATED LOCAL GOVERNMENT ENTITY  BY  A  JOINT  CONSOLIDATION
  AGREEMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS ARTICLE, EXCEPT THAT
  THE  NEW GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY TO SURVIVE SHALL BE THE TOWN (INCLUDING THE
  EXISTING PORTION OF THE INCORPORATED VILLAGE OF HARRIMAN PRESENTLY WITH-
  IN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE TOWN OF WOODBURY) THAT SHALL HAVE  ALL  OF  THE
  POWERS,  DUTIES  AND OBLIGATIONS OF A GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY UNDER THE TOWN
  LAW, BUT SHALL NOT BE ELIGIBLE  FOR  THE  FORMATION  OF  ANY  ADDITIONAL
  VILLAGES WITHIN ITS LIMITS. THE NEW GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY TO SURVIVE SHALL
  BE  GOVERNED  INITIALLY BY THE THEN-EXISTING TOWN OF WOODBURY SUPERVISOR
  AND THE TOWN OF WOODBURY TOWN BOARD MEMBERS.
    S 3. Savings clause. If  any  portion,  clause,  sentence,  paragraph,
  section,  word,  or  part  of this act shall be adjudged by any court of
  competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such judgment  shall  not  affect,
  impair  or invalidate the remainder thereof but shall be confined in its
  operation to the portion, clause, sentence, paragraph, word, section  or

                                                             LBD02867-01-1

 S. 4223                             2

  part thereof directly involved in the controversy in which such judgment
  shall  have been rendered. The town and village of Woodbury respectively
  reserve the right, upon a joint resolution  and  compliance  with  state
  law,  to  revert  to  their  previous status in the event any subsequent
  change to this act, as a result of any judgment, renders it  ineffective
  as to its legislative intent.
    S 4. This act shall take effect immediately.
