BILL NUMBER:S7251B
Title of bill
An act to authorize the conveyance of certain real property in the city of Poughkeepsie subject to section twenty of the general city law
Purpose
To allow the city of Poughkeepsie to convey a parcel of land to 1687 Properties LLC
Summary of provisions
Section one authorizes the city of Poughkeepsie to convey a parcel of land to 1687 Properties LLC at fair market value for non-commercial recreational purposes.
Section two authorizes the city of Poughkeepsie to convey the parcel on the condition of dedicating an equal to or greater than fair market value of parcel A toward the acquisition of additional waterfront property.
Section three provides the description of the 2.717 acres to be conveyed.
Section four requires that Parcel A be used for non-commercial purposes for the general public unless otherwise authorized by an act of the State Legislature.
Section five sets an immediate effective date.
Justification
The city of Poughkeepsie has requested legislation to authorize the land conveyance of 2.717 acres which includes waterfront property. The sale has been approved by the Common Council to a private entity wholly owned by a not-for-profit for the development of a public park.
In the absence of the legislation, the city would lack the authority to convey the parcel as the provision of Section 20 of the General City Law would otherwise apply.
