Bill > S03283

This bill authorizes the town board of Ballston, located in Saratoga County, New York, to dissolve the Jenkins Park District (also known as Park District No. 1) under specific conditions. The town board can initiate the dissolution on its own, without requiring a petition from residents, but must first hold a public hearing with proper notice as specified in town law. The key requirement for dissolution is that the park district must have no outstanding or unpaid indebtedness related to its purposes. This means the district's financial obligations must be fully settled before it can be legally discontinued. The bill provides the town board with the discretionary power to decide if dissolving the park district is in the public interest, giving local government more flexibility in managing municipal services and infrastructure. The act would take effect immediately upon passage.
