SPONSOR: PALUMBO
 
TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend chapter 234 of the laws of 1907 relating to authorizing
the formation of a park district in the town of Southold, Suffolk coun-
ty, to acquire lands for park purposes, and to issue bonds therefor, in
relation to appointment of a treasurer by the park commissioners
 
PURPOSE:
To provide for the appointment of the treasurer of the Southold Park
District.
 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1. Amends section 2, 3 and 4 of Chapter 234 of the Laws of 1907
which created the Southold Park District in the town of Southold,
Suffolk County, by providing for an appointed rather than elected treas-
urer of the district. The park commissioners would appoint the treasur-
er.
Section 2. Immediate effective date.
 
JUSTIFICATION:
The original park district, established in 1907, provided for an elected
treasurer who had to be a resident of the district. In recent years it
has become increasingly difficult to find individuals to run and serve
in this role. By enacting this change, which has been endorsed by the
Board of Commissioners of the Southold Park District, the district will
have the ability to appoint an individual who possesses the required
skills to serve as the treasurer.
 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
New bill
