BILL NUMBER:S7550A

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to authorize the village of Deferiet, county of Jefferson to discontinue
the use of certain lands as parklands

PURPOSE:
To authorize the Village of Deferiet to discontinue the use of the
Deferiet Athletic Field as parkland.

SUMMARY:
Section 1 authorizes the Village of Deferiet, by local option, to
discontinue use of the parklands described in Section 3.

Section 2 describes the geographical location of the parkland to be
conveyed.

Section 3 authorizes and directs the Village of Deferiet to dedicate
fair market value amount of the alienated lands to parkland
improvements and municipal purposes.

Section 4 provides an immediate effective date.

JUSTIFICATION:
The "Deferiet Athletic Field" was sold to the Village of Deferiet in
2001 for $1.00 by the Deferiet Paper Mill. This 5.85 acre field has
fallen into disuse. Residents of the Village prefer "Millich Park,"
the Village's main park, which features adequate recreational and
athletic use for the Village residents.

This bill allows the Village of Deferiet, by home rule resolution, to
alienate the specific parkland outlined in the bill.

It is in the best interest of the residents of the Village of Deferiet
to allow the Village board to alienate the Deferiet Athletic Field.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
New bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None to the State. Cost savings to the Village of Deferiet will be
realized through maintenance relief. Revenue will increase for the
village through anticipated development.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
