2021-S5405 - Summary

Authorizes the use of existing village sewer rents for certain infrastructure payments in the village of Baldwinsville.

2021-S5405 - Sponsor Memo

                                
 
BILL NUMBER: S5405

SPONSOR: MANNION
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act authorizing the use of sewer surplus for infrastructure projects
other than sewer projects in the village of Baldwinsville; and providing
for the repeal of such provisions upon     expiration thereof

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

This legislation will allow for the Village of Baldwinsville to use
their sewer funds for other municipal purposes since the County of Onon-
daga is taking over the administration of the sewers

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1. Allows the village of Baldwinsville to use revenues from
their sewer fund towards municipality infrastructure improvements.

Section 2. Effective Date

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Current law states a municipality's sewer rents, charges, penalties and
interest cannot be used for any purpose other than sewer related
purposes. This is in stark contrast to water utility funding which may
be credited to a municipality's infrastructure funding.

In Onondaga County, the County is consolidating all local municipal
sewer systems under the County. Due to the County taking over the main-
tenance and operation of the Baldwinsville sewers, the village of Bald-
winsville will no longer have need of a dedicated sewer fund.

Ultimately, this will prevent stranded assets in the Village's sewer
fund. Under this legislation, the Village of Baldwinsville will be
authorized to transfer sewer funds to other village infrastructure
projects over a period of a year, after which this law will be repealed.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New Bill

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS:

To be determined

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect on the 60th day that it shall have become law
and shall expire and be deemed repealed one year after such date.

 AN ACT authorizing the use of sewer surplus for infrastructure  projects
   other than sewer projects in the village of Baldwinsville; and provid-
   ing for the repeal of such provisions upon     expiration thereof

   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Notwithstanding section 453 of the general municipal law or
 any other provision of law to the contrary, the village of Baldwinsville
 is hereby authorized to use surplus revenues derived from sewer rents or
 charges collected in excess of amount necessary for the uses  prescribed
 in  section 453 of the general municipal law for the payment of expenses
 or obligations incurred by such municipality for infrastructure improve-
 ments, or to be placed in a capital reserve  fund,  up  to  one  hundred
 percent  of  the surplus, to be used specifically for future infrastruc-
 ture improvements. The village of Baldwinsville shall take other actions
 as may be necessary to avoid any future sewer rent surpluses.
   § 2. This act shall take effect on the sixtieth  day  after  it  shall
 have become a law and shall expire and be deemed repealed one year after
 such date.
