It is the intent of this article to override the limit on the
amount of real property taxes that may be levied by the Town of Oyster
Bay, County of Nassau, State of New York pursuant to General Municipal
Law § 3-c, and to allow the Town of Oyster Bay to adopt
a town budget for town purposes; fire protection districts; and any
other special or improvement district governed by the town board for
the fiscal year 2017 that requires a real property tax levy in excess
of the "tax levy limit" as defined by General Municipal Law § 3-c.
This article is adopted pursuant to Subdivision 5 of General
Municipal Law § 3-c, which expressly authorizes the Town
Board to override the tax levy limit by the adoption of a local law
approved by vote of 60% of the Town Board.
The Town Board of the Town of Oyster Bay is hereby authorized
to adopt a budget for the fiscal year 2017 that requires a real property
tax levy in excess of the limit specified in General Municipal Law,
§ 3-c.
