The Legislature of the County of Rockland desires
to enter into a long-term agreement with a child-care facility for
the benefit of the college community and the County community at large
due to the scarcity of affordable child-care facilities in Rockland
County. It is the intent that this article will supersede all other
provisions of New York State County Law § 215.
The Legislature of the County of Rockland is
hereby authorized to lease real property for the purpose of establishing
a child-care facility at Rockland Community College for a term not
exceeding 15 years with the privilege of renewal, upon such terms
and conditions as may be prescribed by the Legislature of the County
of Rockland by resolution in the same manner and with the same rights
and privileges as if owned by an individual and without the requirement
that such property be leased only to the highest bidder after public
advertisement.
All New York State laws, local laws and resolutions
of the Legislature of Rockland County or the former Board of Supervisors
of Rockland County, to the extent that the same are inconsistent with
this article, are hereby superseded by this law.
