2011-S4807 (ACTIVE) - Sponsor Memo

                                BILL NUMBER:S4807

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend chapter 759 of the laws of 1973 relating to the transfer
of lands to the United States for the establishment of the Gateway
National Recreational Area, in relation to the time period in which
lands may be conveyed

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
This legislation extends the time
period during which lands may be transferred to U.S. for
establishment of the Gateway National Recreational Area.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
Section 1. Section 5 of chapter 759
of the laws of 1973 relating to the transfer of lands to the United
States for the establishment of the Gateway National Recreational
Area, as amended by chapter 85 of the laws of 2008, is amended to
read as follows: Section 5. All such lands shall be ceded, granted
and conveyed to the United States on or before May 1, 2013.

JUSTIFICATION:
The Gateway National Recreational Area plan is an
innovative approach to the creation of urban park space. Gateway
will combine recreational facilities with educational programs and an

organized effort to attract the population of the entire region which
this Federal project will serve.

The process of assembling the scattered properties (situated in three
of the City's counties and in New Jersey) which will ultimately
comprise Gateway is not yet completed, in part because the plan to
create the park has taken into account the need for input from the
communities it will adjoin as well as those it will serve. As
amended, this legislation would mandate timely applicable community
board and borough board notification and review of any future
property to be ceded or conveyed as part of Gateway.

In order to permit the Gateway project to take shape at a rate which
permits the participation of the parties interested in the area's
ultimate success, this bill extends by two years the deadline for
transfer of those properties still held by the State and City of New
York which are included in the Gateway plan.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
2006: S.6536/A.9657 - (Ignizio)
Signed Chapter 85 - 2 year extension. This legislation has been
introduced and signed into law every two years since 1974.
2008: S.6851 referred to cities/A.10300 referred to ways and means
2009: A.7324 referred to cities/NO SENATE
2010: A.7324 Held for consideration in cities/NO SENATE

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.

EFFECTIVE DATE:


This act shall take effect immediately.
