[Adopted 9-20-1989 as L.L. No. 9-1989]
Article 19-A of the General Municipal Law of the State of New York sets
out a comprehensive procedure for the establishment and/or extension of business
improvement districts within municipalities. Section 980-b of said Article
19-A provides that "any municipality shall be authorized to adopt a local
law, subject to permissive referendum, providing that the provisions of this
article shall be applicable to the establishment or extension of districts
in the municipality." The Board of Trustees of the village hereby finds that
the establishment of business improvement districts is an effective means
for encouraging, promoting and assisting business activity within the village
and that the adoption of the provisions of the General Municipal Law would
therefore further the health and welfare of village residents.
In accordance with the enabling authorization set forth in § 980-b
of Article 19-A of the General Municipal Law of the State of New York, it
is hereby provided that the provisions of said Article 19-A shall be applicable
to the establishment and/or extension of business improvement districts in
the village and that the village shall have all powers specified therein with
respect to the establishment and/or extension of said districts.
This Article shall become effective 30 days after its adoption and upon
being filed in the office of the Secretary of State, with an additional copy
to be filed with the Department of Audit and Control, subject to the permissive
referendum procedures set forth in the Village Law.
[Adopted 2-7-1990 by L.L. No. 2-1990]
