The Board of Trustees has been advised that
pursuant to Chapter 602 of the Laws of 1993, which takes effect on
January 1, 1995, villages will no longer be permitted to utilize the
current system of collecting delinquent taxes. Due to the efforts
of many village officials throughout the state, as well as the New
York State Conference of Mayors (NYCOM), the State Legislature has
adopted legislation (S. 8560-A) which will permit villages to continue
utilizing the current system provided that the village adopts a local
law by September 1, 1994, evidencing its intention to continue utilizing
the current system. The Board is advised that adoption of such a local
law will enable the Village to continue to hold annual tax lien sales
for liens created in 1995, 1996 and 1997. The Board finds that it
is in the best interest of the Village and its residents to continue
the current system of collecting delinquent taxes.
Pursuant to Section 6 of Chapter 602 of the
Laws of 1993, as amended by a chapter of the laws of 1994, as proposed
in Legislative Bill Number S. 8560-A, the Incorporated Village of Roslyn Harbor hereby acts
by local law, not subject to referendum, to provide that the collection
of real property taxes shall continue to be enforced pursuant to Title
3 of Article 14 of the Real Property Tax Law as is in effect on December
31, 1994.
