BILL NUMBER:S7647

TITLE OF BILL:
An act to authorize the town of Ellicottville, county of Cattaraugus to
transfer funds from an unappropriated fund balance for the construction
of a highway garage

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
This bill authorizes the town of Ellicottville, county of Cattaraugus to
transfer funds from the fund balance in the highway fund to the general
fund for the purpose of constructing a highway garage.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
Section 1 authorizes the Town of Ellicottville, county of Cattaraugus,
to transfer funds contained from an unappropriated fund balance in the
town's highway fund to the general fund for the purpose of expending
such funds for the construction of a highway garage. The transfer must
be approved by resolution of the Town Board by majority vote and shall
not exceed $500,000.00.

Section 2 says that this act shall take effect immediately.

JUSTIFICATION:
The Town of Ellicottville has sold its current highway garage to a
private business, and is desirous of constructing a new highway garage
in a different location. The Town intends to use the proceeds from the
sale of the current highway garage toward the construction of the new
garage. State law requires that the sale proceeds, as well as the costs
of constructing a new highway garage, be incurred by the General "A"
Fund of the Town's budget. The Highway "B" Fund of the budget has an
unappropriated fund balance of over $500,000.

The Town of Ellicottville is requesting permission under Section 40 of
the Municipal Home Rule Law to transfer up to a maximum of $500,000 from
the Highway "B" Fund unappropriated fund balance to the General "A" Fund
for the purposes of constructing a highway garage. Because the Town has
the funding available for the construction of the highway garage, they
would prefer not having to issue a bond for such work.

This legislation was requested by the Town of Ellicottville.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
This is a new bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None to the State.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
