Bill > A08557

This bill authorizes the village of Malverne in Nassau County to discontinue and sell a specific parcel of parkland (approximately 0.095 acres located on Church Street) for the purpose of constructing housing, but with important conditions. The village must reinvest an equal or greater amount of money from the sale's fair market value into acquiring new parklands or making capital improvements to existing park properties. Additionally, if the village originally received federal funding for the parkland, they must first comply with federal requirements for parkland conversion, which includes obtaining approval from the Secretary of the Interior and ensuring that any replacement land is equivalent in value and usefulness to the land being sold. The bill provides a detailed legal description of the specific lots to be alienated (Lots 114 and 115 on a 1927 map) and stipulates that the authorization is subject to the terms and conditions determined by the village's governing body. The act would take effect immediately upon passage.
