                                BILL NUMBER:S7596

TITLE OF BILL:  An act authorizing the county of Nassau to alienate
certain parcels of land used as parkland

PURPOSE:

This bill provides Nassau County with the authority to discontinue
permanently a parcel of parkland and to convey the parcel to the
Roslyn Water District.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 authorizes the county of Nassau, acting through its
legislature, to discontinue permanently a parcel of parkland and to
convey such parcel to the Roslyn Water District.

Section 2 provides that this alienation of parkland shall only be
effective upon the condition that the county of Nassau dedicate an
amount equal to or greater than the fair market value of the parkland
being permanently discontinued for funding of capital improvements to
existing park and recreational facilities.

Section 3 provides the metes and bounds description for the parcel of
parkland that is being permanently discontinued and alienated.

Section 4 requires that the discontinuance and conveyance of parkland
authorized by this act shall not occur until the county of Nassau has
complied with any federal requirements pertaining to the alienation or
conversion of parklands.

Section 5 provides that if the land described in this act cease to be
used by the Roslyn Water District for water treatment facilities those
lands shall revert to the county of Nassau to be used for park
purposes.

Section 6 establishes the effective date.

JUSTIFICATION:

In order to meet demands for water, the Roslyn Water District must
construct a water treatment facility to remediate Freon contamination
in its well located on Diana's Trail in the Village of Roslyn Estates.
This well is critical to ensuring that the residents of the District
receive an adequate supply of water for all uses. Nassau County has
agreed to allow the Roslyn Water District to purchase a small parcel
of land in Christopher Morley Park for the construction of this water
treatment facility. The parcel being discontinued and alienated is
situated in a portion of the park that has limited public access and
that will not detract from the park's recreational activities nor will
it affect the character of the park. In order for this agreement to
move forward, the State Legislature must authorize Nassau County to
permanently discontinue the use of this parcel of parkland and convey
it to the Roslyn Water District.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:


This is a new bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None to the state.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

This act shall take effect immediately.
