Whereas, municipalities of the State of New York are limited in the amount of real property taxes that may be levied each year under the tax levy limit established in General Municipal
Law §3-c, and
Whereas, subdivision 5 of General Municipal Law §3-c expressly authorizes a municipality to override the tax levy limit by the adoption of a local law approved by vote of at least sixty
percent (60%) of the governing body, and
Whereas, a public hearing on the proposed local law entitled “A local law to override the tax levy limit established inGeneral Municipal Law §3-c”; was duly advertised and held by the
Town Board at its July 11, 2022meeting, and
Whereas, pursuant to the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (“SEQRA”) and its implementing regulations at 6 NYCRR Part 617, it has been determined by the Town Board that
adoption of the proposed local law is a Type II action because it constitutes “routine or continuing agency administration and management, not including new programs or major reordering
of priorities that may affect the environment,” and thus not subject to review under SEQRA; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, that the Town Board adopts Local Law 14 of 2022 entitled“A local law to override the Tax Levy Limit established in General Municipal Law §3-c.”
