The terms and conditions of this chapter are to be liberally construed
so as best to achieve and effectuate the public policy goals and purposes
hereof.
Current New York law requires an act of the state legislature to sell
or divest parkland to other uses. The designation of property
to the Town Nature Preserve System shall not have the effect of removing such
land from park status where such status already exists and shall not weaken
any protection afforded by such status pursuant to New York law.
Lands owned by charitable organizations are subject to oversight by
volunteer trustees and directions of such organizations, by the State Attorney
General's Office, by the United States Internal Revenue Service and by
the judicial system. The designation of property herein is not intended to
diminish the authority of those institutions to provide for the use or management
of assets held by such organization for its charitable purposes for which
such assets were acquired.
This chapter shall supersede § 64, Subdivision 2, of the New
York State Town Law by requiring that any change in use of property included
in the Nature Preserve System be approved by a majority plus one vote of the
Town Board and by the affirmative vote of a majority of the qualified electors
of the Town of Shelter Island.
