to Town residents, but the remainder would be considered a gift, and
Whereas, pursuant to the Town’s New York State Municipal Home Rule powers, a local law may be adopted to authorize the Town to make a gift to another municipality where the gift furthers
a public purpose of the Town, and
Whereas, a public hearing was duly advertised and held on January 13, 2025,and all persons interested permitted an opportunity to speak on behalf of or in opposition to the proposed
local law, 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
approval of the 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 therefore this action is not subject to review under SEQRA, now therefore be it
Resolved that the Town Board adopts Local Law 1 of 2025 “Authorizing a monetary gift to the City of Ithaca to support Cass Park and Stewart Park recreational facilities.”Moved: Pamela
