Bill > S07659

This bill allows the city of White Plains in Westchester County to lease the sports field fences at Gedney Field to a New York state-registered not-for-profit corporation or organization, with the specific purpose of selling advertising space on those fences. The leases can be done annually and at a nominal (very low) rent, with the requirement that all revenues generated from the advertising sales must be used exclusively for maintaining the field. By providing this special legal authorization, the bill creates an exception to existing general, special, and local laws that might otherwise restrict such leasing arrangements, giving the city a unique opportunity to generate funds for sports field maintenance through advertising.
