BILL NUMBER:S5358
Title of bill
An act to amend the general municipal law in relation to requiring the consent of the legislature of the county of Orange concerning municipal annexation petitions
Purpose
Annexation proposals extending over ninety-nine acres shall be approved or disapproved by the county legislature.
Summary of provisions
Section 711 of the general municipal law is amended by adding a new subdivision 6:
a) The county legislature shall have ninety days to either confirm or disapprove the annexation determinations.
b) In the event the county legislature fails to take any action either confirming or disapproving such determinations within ninety days, such determinations shall be deemed denied.
d) The county of Orange may, by local law, limit the applicability of this subdivision to applications for annexations in excess of a particular acreage amount of in excess of any particular value or real property.
Justification
The county legislature should determine the outcome of annexation measures. Annexing territory may have significant implications on its neighboring towns and, therefore, should be reviewed by the county legislature.
