BILL NUMBER:S6934A
Title of bill
An act to amend the public authorities law, in relation to the membership of the Saratoga county water authority
Purpose
To set forth the composition of members that serve on the board.
Summary of provisions
Section one amends subdivision 1 of section 1199-ddd of the public authorities law. It provides for five members of the board to be residents of its servicing municipalities of which one or more may also be the four elected officials already required by law. This legislation will allow the composition of the board to change so that each municipality need not be represented on the board. This will allow more municipalities to join the authority without having to change the number of board members and allow for non-resident board members.
Existing law
Currently, each municipality that is a customer of the authority must be represented by a board member and each board member must be a resident of a serviced municipality. There are currently seven members serving on the board and seven municipalities.
Justification
Saratoga County is one of the fastest growing counties in the state not only in terms of population but as a recognized center for high technology research and manufacturing. To that end, there is an increasing demand by municipalities for water to enable them to continue to meet the demands of a growing economy. This legislation will allow the composition of the board to change so that each municipality need not be represented on the board. This will allow more municipalities to join the authority without having to change the number of board members which is presently set at seven.
