Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
WHEREAS, beginning on August 27, 2011 and continuing
					 thereafter, Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee brought torrential rainfall
					 causing record flooding and storm surge throughout the State of New
					 York;
WHEREAS, on September 15, 2011, I issued Executive Order
					 Number 21, declaring a State disaster emergency in a number of counties,
					 including Broome, Delaware, Essex, Greene, Orange, Schoharie, Tioga, Ulster and
					 Washington as a result of torrential rainfall, flooding and storm surge
					 throughout the State of New York which severely devastated the afore-mentioned
					 counties;
WHEREAS, such torrential rainfall, flooding and storm surge
					 have also damaged Hamilton County, resulting in personal hardship, widespread
					 power outage and extensive property damage;
WHEREAS, school district taxes for the 2011-2012 school
					 year are currently due on or about September 30, 2011 in the school districts
					 located within the Counties of Broome, Delaware, Essex, Greene, Hamilton,
					 Orange, Schoharie, Tioga, Ulster and Washington;
WHEREAS, section 925-a  of the Real Property Tax Law
					 authorizes the Governor to extend the period for paying such taxes without
					 interest or penalty upon request of the chief executive officer of an affected
					 county, city, town, village or school district during a State disaster
					 emergency;

					 by the Governor's Office on behalf of the following school districts within the

					 warranted;

					 of New York, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and
					 Laws of the State of New York, do hereby find that a disaster has occurred for
					 which Hamilton County is unable to respond adequately, and pursuant to section
					 28 of article 2-B of the Executive Law, do hereby declare a State Disaster
					 Emergency for Hamilton County;
FURTHER, by virtue of the authority vested in me by Section 925-a  of the Real Property Tax Law, I do hereby extend the period for paying
					 without interest or penalty the school district taxes that are due on or about
					 September 30, 2011 in the afore-mentioned school districts within the above
					 listed counties for twenty-one days from the final date such taxes are
					 currently due; and
FURTHER, this Executive Order may be revised and amended to
					 extend the period for paying school taxes for additional school districts
					 within the counties adversely affected by Hurricane Irene or Tropical Storm
					 Lee.
Signed: Andrew M. Cuomo
