Title of bill
An act to provide that the town of East Hampton, county of Suffolk, may only accept financial assistance from the state of New York or the United States, or any agency, or instrumentality thereof, for airport and aviation projects at the town airport or landing field upon the adoption of a resolution subject to permissive referendum
Purpose
This legislation provides that Town of East Hampton may only accept financial assistance from the State of New York, or the United States, or any agency, or instrumentality thereof, for airport and aviation projects at the town's airport or landing field upon the adoption of a resolution subject to permissive referendum
Summary of provisions
To only allow the Town of East Hampton to accept financial assistance from the State of New York, or the United States, or any agency, or instrumentality thereof, for airport and aviation projects at the town's airport or landing field upon the adoption of a resolution subject to permissive referendum.
Justification
This legislation would provide that the Town of East Hampton may only accept state or federal assistance for airport or aviation projects at the Town of East Hampton Airport subject to a permissive referendum. Accepting federal aviation means that the Town of East Hampton would have to adhere to federal aviation law and regulations. Federal aviation grants can last up to twenty years. Therefore, there is an extraordinarily long term impact on the community when any federal aviation grant is accepted. The entire community, not just town board members whose terms last only two years, should have a voice in whether or not to accept federal funds and nearly 20 years of federal rules and regulations in the Town of East Hampton.
