S6578B-2011 Memo
BILL NUMBER:S6578B TITLE OF BILL: An act in relation to authorizing the use of sewer surplus for infrastructure projects other than sewer projects in the Village of Sherburne and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof PURPOSE: The legislation would allow the village of Sherburne in Chenango County to use surplus funds received from sewer rents for other infrastructure projects. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section one amends section 453 of the general municipal law by adding a new subdivision allowing the village of Sherburne to use up to 40 percent of the surplus monies from the sewer rent fund for infrastructure improvements. Section two is the effective date. JUSTIFICATION: While water utilities are able to use their surplus funds for any municipal purpose, sewer utilities are limited to using excess revenues for sewer-related purposes only. Under current law, revenues derived from sewer rents, including penalties and interest, are credited to a special fund and the use of the money is not permitted beyond costs incurred that relate to the sewer system. Allowing the village to use a limited amount of these funds to address infrastructure issues would be a realistic and appropriate way to address infrastructure problems. Requested by the village of Sherburne, the legislation would allow the village to use money from the sewer rent fund to pay expenses or obligations incurred for infrastructure improvements, after paying off all sewer related expenses. The village would also be able to allocate up to 40 percent of the surplus to a special fund to be used specifically for infrastructure improvements. Sewer needs will be addressed first, and the village would be able to utilize a portion of the excess funds derived from sewer rents to address related issues to economic growth requiring new sewer infrastructure. LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New bill for this village. Similar to S.5420. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None to the state. EFFECTIVE DATE: The sixtieth day after it shall have become a law.
