TITLE OF BILL:

An act authorizing the Saratoga County Water Authority, County of
Saratoga to effectuate a lot line adjustment involving a portion of
reforested lands in the town of Moreau

PURPOSE:

To allow the Saratoga County Water Authority and the County of
Saratoga to complete an equitable transfer of real property for the
water authority to make improvements and upgrades to its water
treatment plant.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 provides the Saratoga County Water Authority in the county
of Saratoga, acting by and through the county board of supervisors, to
effectuate a lot line adjustment involving a portion of reforested
lands described in section two.

Section 2 is the updated real property deed description to correct a
previous deed between the Saratoga County Water Authority and the
County of Saratoga.

Section 3 states the effective date and the law the bill is amending.

JUSTIFICATION:

In 2008, the county of Saratoga conveyed to the Saratoga County Water
Authority (SCWA) a 21.86 acre parcel of county owned reforested land
for the construction of a water treatment plant. Because the county
was conveying the reforested parcel to SCWA for a purpose other than
reforestation or one authorized by County Law § 219, the county sought
and obtained home rule legislation under Chapter 4.39 of the Laws of
the 2006. SCWA subsequently constructed the water treatment plant and
all necessary appurtenances.

Currently, in the course of designing needed improvements and upgrades
to its water treatment plant, SCWA discovered that portions of the
water treatment facility, as constructed, enter onto adjoining
reforested lands of the county. In order to remedy SCWA's entry onto
the county's reforested lands, the county and SCWA have proposed an
equitable transfer of real property between the two entities: (1) the
westerly boundary of SCWA's parcel is expanded by 5 acres onto land
currently owned by the county and (2) the southern boundary of SCWA's
parcel is reduced by 5 acres, with the property restored to county
ownership and re-designated as county reforested land.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

This is a new bill.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None to the State.


EFFECTIVE DATE:

This act shall take effect immediately.
