It is the intent of this chapter to allow the Village of Ocean
Beach to adopt a budget for the fiscal year commencing June 1, 2023,

This chapter is adopted pursuant to Subdivision 5 of General
Municipal Law § 3-c, which expressly authorizes a local
government's governing body to override the property tax cap for the
coming fiscal year by the adoption of a local law approved by a vote
of 60% of said governing body.
The Board of Trustees of the Village of Ocean Beach, County
of Suffolk, is hereby authorized to adopt a budget for the fiscal
year commencing June 1, 2023, that requires a real property tax levy
in excess of the amount otherwise prescribed in General Municipal
Law § 3-c.

to the clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, or part of this chapter
or in its application to the person, individual, firm or corporation
or circumstance directly involved in the controversy in which such
judgment or order shall be rendered.
The Board of Trustees hereby declares the adoption of this chapter
a Type II action, pursuant to the NYSEQRA, and, therefore, no further
