Bill > S08846

This bill enacts the "CR clean water and sewer authority act" to establish the CR clean water and sewer authority, a public benefit corporation, which will take over the responsibilities and assets of the prior Rockland County Sewer District No. 1. The authority will be governed by a nine-member board, with specific appointments from county and town officials, and will have broad powers to manage, operate, and expand sewer systems, including the ability to sue and be sued, acquire property, issue bonds for financing, set and collect charges for services, and enter into contracts. The bill also outlines provisions for additional municipalities to join the authority, the transfer of property and funds from the prior district, the handling of employees, and the legal and financial framework for the authority's operations, including exemptions from taxes and assessments.
