3 Room, 53095 Main Road, Southold, New York,
4 on the 3rd day of November, 2021 at 7 : 00
5 o' clock. To consider a Local Law to
6 Override the Tax Levy Limit established by
7 and set forth in General Municipal Law
8 Section 3-c as follows:
9 The purpose of this Local Law is to
10 allow the Town of Southold to override the

12 that may be levied by the Town of Southold,
13 Suffolk County, New York pursuant to General
14 Municipal Law 3-c, and to allow the Town of
15 Southold to adopt a town budget for town
16 purposes and any other special or

18 board for the Fiscal Year 2022 . That
19 requires a real property tax levy in excess
20 of the "tax levy limit" as defined by
21 General Municipal Law Section 3-c. The Town
22 of Southold has made significant efforts to
23 reduce spending in an effort to avoid
24 piercing the tax levy limit, however, in
25 order to account for the increase in costs
4
1 to provide town services and fund town
2 operations for 2022, while at the same time
3 maintaining the Town' s high credit rating
4 and general fund reserves, will likely
5 require adoption of a budget in excess of
6 the tax levy limit. The authority of this
7 Local Law adopted pursuant General Municipal
8 Law 3-c (5 ) which expressly authorizes a
9 local government ' s governing body to
10 override the tax levy limit by the adoption
11 of a Local Law approved by a vote of sixty
12 percent of the Town Board. The tax levy
13 limit override. The Town Board of the Town
14 of Southold, County of Suffolk, is hereby
15 authorized to adopt a budget for the Fiscal
16 Year 2022 that requires a real property tax
17 levy in excess of the limit established by
18 and set forth in General Municipal Law 3-c.
19 If a court determines that any clause,
20 sentence, paragraph, subdivision, or part of
21 this Local Law or the application thereof to
22 any person, firm or corporation, or
23 circumstance is invalid or unconstitutional,
24 the court ' s order or judgment shall not
25 ' affect, impair, or invalidate the remainder
5
1 of this Local Law, but shall be confined in
i
2 its operation to the clause, sentence,
3 paragraph, subdivision, or part of this
4 Local Law or in its application to the
5 person, individual, form or corporation or
6 circumstance, directly involved in the
7 controversy in which such judgment or order
8 shall be rendered. Effective date of this
9 Local Law shall take effect immediately upon
10 filing with the Secretary of State. You
11 have a copy, an Affidavit of its publication
12 in the New London Day, as well as, the Town
13 Clerk' s website, bulletin board. And
4 14 publication in the Suffolk Times. That is
15 all I have.
16 SUPERVISOR SCOTT RUSSELL: I am going
17 to ask anybody to comment on this particular
18 --
19 COUNCILWOMAN JILL DOHERTY: Do you
20 want to explain more on the tax levy -- in a
21 work session a couple of weeks ago, you kind
22 of --
23 SUPERVISOR SCOTT RUSSELL: Yeah.
24 There is fundamental difference between a
25 tax levy and a tax break. The tax levy for
6
1 the most part, it ' s basically -- a little
2 bit of a complicated explanation, but
3 basically think of it as a dollar to dollar
4 spending from year one to year two. It ' s. a
5 calculation based on the amount of dollars
6 you spend. Then the tax rate is different
7 in that the tax rate can be influenced by a
8 lot of things. Not just the increase that
9 you ' re spending. Based on the new budget.
10 It can be also -- the tax rights impacted by
11 change in assessed value and all sorts of
12 other things. That is why those two numbers
13 generally don ' t match.
14 COUNCILMAN ROBERT GHOSIO: I just
15 read the summary. I didn' t see it had
16 ( inaudible) prepared for. So this might
17 help a little bit as well. The New York
18 State Comptroller has determined that the
19 tax levy cap for the fiscal year 2022 will
20 be 2%. In order to maintain the Town ' s high
21 bond rating and help fund balance reserves,
22 it may be necessary to adopt a property tax
23 cap levy in excess of the limit that was
24 established by the Comptroller. Local Law
25 authorizing a tax level in excess of the
7
1 limit is established by the Comptroller,
2 requires a vote of sixty percent of the Town
3 Board. A vote of approval. And again, the
4 full text is available for review in the
5 Town Clerk' s Office and the Town' s website.
6 SUPERVISOR SCOTT RUSSELL: Would
7 anybody like to comment?
8 COUNCILMAN JAMES DINIZIO JR. : What
9 is the actual levy going to be?
10 SUPERVISOR SCOTT RUSSELL: The actual
11 tax rate is an increase of 2 .69%. But
12 again, that is just one function of the
13 actual right. The tax rate would be for the
14 purposes of Town taxes od 2 .69% increase.
15 COUNCILMAN JAMES DINIZIO JR. : That ' s
16 over and above our established 2% cap;
17 right?
18 SUPERVISOR SCOTT RUSSELL: Yes.
19 COUNCILMAN JAMES DINIZIO JR. : By
20 only --
21 SUPERVISOR SCOTT RUSSELL: 0 . 22 .
22 COUNCILMAN ROBERT GHOSIO: Motion to
23 close the hearing.
24 COUNCILWOMAN JILL DOHERTY: Second.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that a public hearing will be held before the Town
Board of the Town of Southold, at Southold Town Hall Meeting Room,
53095 Main Road, Southold, New York, on the 3rd day of November,

Local Law No. 2021
A LOCAL LAW TO OVERRIDE THE TAX LEVY LIMIT ESTABLISHED BY
AND SET FORTH IN GENERAL MUNICIPAL LAW§ 3-C
Section 1. Purpose
The purpose of this Local Law is to allow the Town of Southold to override
the limit on the amount of real property taxes that may be levied by the
Town of Southold, Suffolk County, New York pursuant to General
Municipal Law 3-c and to allow the Town of Southold to adopt a town
budget for town purposes and any other special or improvement districts
governed by the town board for the fiscal year 2022 that requires a real
property tax levy in excess of the "tax levy limit" as defined by General
Municipal Law § 3-c.
The Town of Southold has made significant efforts to reduce spending in
an effort to avoid piercing the tax levy limit, however, in order to account
for the increase in costs to provide town services and fund town operations
for 2022, while at the same time maintaining the Town's high credit rating
and general fund reserves, will likely require adoption of a budget in excess
of the tax levy limit.
Section 2. Authority
This local law adopted pursuant General Municipal Law § 3-c (5) which
expressly authorizes a local government's governing body to override the
tax levy limit by the adoption of a local law approved by a vote of sixty
percent (60%) of the Town Board.
Section 3. Tax Levy Limit Override
The Town Board of the Town of Southold, County of Suffolk, is hereby
authorized to adopt a budget for the fiscal year 2022 that requires a real
property tax levy in excess of the limit established by and set forth in
General Municipal Law § 3-c.
Section 4. Severability
If a court determines that any clause, sentence, paragraph, subdivision, or
part of this local law or the application thereof to any person, firm or
corporation, or circumstance is invalid or unconstitutional, the court's order
or judgment shall not affect, impair, or invalidate the remainder of this local
law, but shall be confined in its operation to the clause, sentence,
paragraph, subdivision, or part of this local law or in its application to the
person, individual, form or corporation or circumstance, directly involved in
the controversy in which such judgment or order shall be rendered.
Section 5. Effective date
This local law shall take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary of
State
