Bill > A06674

This bill extends the term estate for the Henry Kaufmann Campgrounds in Staten Island, New York, originally acquired by the state from United Jewish Appeal-Federation of Jewish Philanthropies of New York (UJA) in 1990. Specifically, the bill modifies the original deed and agreement to change the term of occupancy from 99 years (which would have expired in 2089) to a new expiration date of September 30, 2122. The bill requires the commissioner of environmental conservation to amend the original documents to reflect this extended term, and adds a provision that allows the commissioner to waive in writing any limitations or restrictions in the agreement. The bill also mandates that UJA and the commissioner must prepare, execute, and record the amended documents within a specified timeframe after the bill's enactment. This extension effectively allows UJA to continue using the 18-acre parcel for camp purposes for an additional several decades beyond the original term, with some additional flexibility granted to the state environmental conservation commissioner.
