BILL NUMBER:S4254
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 The current Village Hall is an outdated leased trailer and does not adequately meet the needs of the Village residents.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.
