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
