BILL NUMBER:S4896A
Title of bill
An act to repeal section 586 of the general municipal law, relating to the Ossining urban renewal agency
Purpose
To repeal the inactive Ossining Urban Renewal Agency
Summary of provisions
Section 1 repeals section 586 of the general municipal law. Section 2 is the effective date.
Justification
At the request of the Village of Ossining the bill would repeal the inactive Ossining Urban Renewal Agency ("Ossining URA") Currently the agency has no outstanding debts or obligations and due to recent regulations and requirements of the Authorities Budget Office, the Village would have to expend a large amount of public funds simply to bring the inactive agency into compliance on mandatory reporting. The expenditure of these funds would not be eligible for deduction from any Village tax cap calculations.
Furthermore, a recent omnibus bill seeking mandatory dissolutions of these types of agencies, did not include the Village of Ossining URA and the Village has since publicly declared their intent to dissolve this agency in the public interest.
