It is the intent of this chapter to regulate Town of Fishkill
conveyance of Town-owned property in a manner that ensures that the
public is informed of any such proposed sales and that the Town Board
considers submission of such sale to a referendum as provided for
in Town Law.
This chapter is adopted pursuant to Municipal Home Rule Law
§ 10 and in accordance with New York State Town Law § 94.
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, word, section or other part
of this chapter, or the application thereof to any person, entity,
or circumstance, shall be determined by any court or tribunal of competent
jurisdiction to be unconstitutional, illegal, invalid or unenforceable,
such determination shall not affect, impair or invalidate the remaining
provisions of this chapter or the application thereof, but shall be
confined in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, word,
section or other part thereof directly involved in the controversy
in which such determination shall have been rendered and the remaining
provisions of this chapter shall not be impaired thereby and such
determination. The Town Board of the Town of Fishkill hereby declares
that it would have passed this chapter or the remaining provisions
thereof had such invalid provision or the application thereof been
apparent at the time of enactment.
This chapter shall take effect immediately upon filing of a
certified copy thereof with the Office of the New York Secretary of
State in accordance with Section 27 of the New York State Municipal
Home Rule Law.
