Editor's Note: This local law also superseded former Art. VII, Override of Tax Levy Limit, adopted 10-15-2020 by L.L. No. 4-2020, as amended.
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 New Paltz pursuant to General Municipal Law § 3-c and to allow the Town of New Paltz to adopt a budget for the fiscal year 2024 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 cap by the adoption of a local law approved by vote of 60% of the Town Board.
The Town Board of the Town of New Paltz, County of Ulster, is hereby authorized to adopt a budget for the fiscal year 2024 that requires a real property tax levy in excess of the amount otherwise proscribed in General Municipal Law § 3-c.
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision or part of this article or the application thereof to any person, firm or corporation, or circumstance be adjudged invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, such order or judgment shall not affect, impair or invalidate the remainder thereof, but shall be confined in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision or part of this article or in its application to the person, firm or corporation, or circumstance directly involved in the controversy in which such order or judgment shall have been rendered and shall not affect or impair the validity of the remainder of this article or the application thereof to any other person, firm or corporation or circumstance, and the Town Board hereby declares that it would not have enacted this article or the remainder thereof had the invalidity of such provision or application thereof been apparent.
This article shall take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary of State.
