                                 BILL NUMBER:  S5511

 TITLE OF BILL :

An act to amend the village law, in relation to continuing the
existence and operation of the special districts and improvement
districts of the town of Woodbury that are wholly contained in the
village of Woodbury


 PURPOSE :

The purpose of this bill is to continue the existence and operation of
all of the special sewer, water, and storm drainage districts in the
Town of Woodbury, except for the Woodbury Fire District, so that such
services can continue to be provided.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section 1: Amends Village Law section 2-254 to authorize the
continuation of all of the water, sewer, and storm water districts.
It also makes it very clear that the recent incorporation of the
Village of Woodbury will not affect the existence, powers and
responsibilities of such special district in any way.

 EXISTING LAW :

Under existing law, with the recent incorporation of the Village of
Woodbury, whose boundaries are almost completely co-terminus with the
Town of Woodbury, except for one small portion of the Village of
Harriman, all of the Town of Woodbury Special Districts that provide
water, sewer, and storm drainage services would cease to exist by
operation of the Village Law.

 JUSTIFICATION :

See the Existing Law section above. This bill will allow the Woodbury
Special Districts to continue to provide services within the Village
of Woodbury, notwithstanding the other provisions of the Village Law.
This bill is supported by both the Town of Woodbury and Village of
Woodbury.

                                 BILL NUMBER:  S5511A

 TITLE OF BILL :

An act to authorize the village of Woodbury to transfer the operation
of the special districts and improvement districts of the town of
Woodbury that are wholly contained in the village of Woodbury to the
town of Woodbury


 PURPOSE :

The purpose of this bill is that the village of Woodbury desires to
more efficiently operate, administer, expand and enlarge all such
special districts in accordance with New York State Law, except the
former Fire District, by transferring the responsibility for such
special districts back to the town of Woodbury

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :

Section 1: Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary,
the board of trustees of the village of Woodbury authorizes the mayor
and village clerk to execute and file any and all necessary documents
to ensure the transfer to the town of Woodbury of all authority,
responsibility, assets, debts, liabilities, contracts, causes of
action and other entitlements for all former special districts of the

town that had been transferred to the village of Woodbury by operation
of New York State law as a result of the incorporation of the village
of Woodbury, except for the former fire district.  The village of
Woodbury employees related to such special districts will be returned
to the same positions as employees of the town of Woodbury and have
all the rights provided by the civil service law and local and
collective bargaining agreements, as if their former positions had not
previously been transferred to the village but had continued with the
town of Woodbury.

 JUSTIFICATION :

This bill will allow the Woodbury Special Districts to return to the
town of Woodbury who will be the provider of services within the
village of Woodbury. This bill is supported by both the town of
Woodbury and village of Woodbury.
