Int. No. 848

By Council Members Reyna, Comrie, James, Palma, White Jr., Yassky, Gerson, Martinez and Weprin

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to regionally significant projects and empire zones.

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

Section 1. Statement of legislative findings and intent. Under Section 957(d)(i) of the General Municipal Law, certain business enterprises located outside the boundaries of an Empire Zone may still be eligible for Empire Zone benefits as a "regionally significant project" because the economic activity of such enterprise is of a nature that is encouraged by the State, and the Administrative Board of such Empire Zone authorizes the designation of such business as a regionally significant project. The New York State Department of Economic Development and the North Brooklyn/Brooklyn Navy Yard Empire Zone Administrative Board have determined that Aesthetonics, Inc., a manufacturer and distributor of high-end traditional lighting fixtures, is projected to create 67 new jobs and has been provisionally approved for Empire Zones benefits as a regionally significant project under Section 957(d)(i) of the General Municipal Law.

A Local Law to provide for the levy and collection of additional real property taxes for fiscal year 2009, and to amend the administrative code of the city of New York and the New York City charter in relation to the date when taxes are due and payable.

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

Section 1. Where the mayor estimates that the revenue receipts for fiscal year 2009 will fall below the amount set forth in the budget for such year as adopted, and where the mayor requests modifications to the expense budget for such year, the council shall be authorized to raise, by an additional tax on real property in fiscal year 2009, additional revenues, by fixing additional tax rates in cents and thousandths of a cent upon each dollar of assessed valuation; provided, however, that such additional tax rates shall apply from January 1, 2009 to June 30, 2009, and provided, further, however, that nothing herein shall authorize any subsequent and further increase in the real property tax rates for fiscal year 2009.

§ 2. The council shall, at the same time as it fixes the additional tax rates as provided in section one of this local law, amend the assessment rolls by making the necessary adjustments to the listing of the sums, in dollars and cents, to be paid as a tax upon real property for fiscal year 2009 originally set down pursuant to section 1517 of the charter.

§ 3. The procedures set forth in sections 1518 and 1519-a of the charter, without regard to the dates specified therein, shall apply to the collection of the additional amount of real property taxes provided for in this local law; provided, however, that such additional amount (i) shall be due and payable in one installment, on January 1, 2009, with respect to real property subject to subdivision three of section 1519-a of the charter, and (ii) shall be due and payable in two equal installments, the first payment on January 1, 2009 and the second payment on April 1, 2009, with respect to real property subject to subdivision two of section 1519-a of the charter. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, interest shall be charged, received and collected at the rate established pursuant to section 11-224.1 of the administrative code if such installment or installments shall remain unpaid in whole or in part on such date or dates, provided, however, that for each real property with an assessed value of two hundred fifty thousand dollars or less, if an installment of tax due and payable is not paid by January thirtieth two thousand nine, interest shall be imposed on such unpaid amounts. For purposes of section 1516-a of the charter, the tax rates for the current fiscal year shall be the rates, including the additional tax rates, applicable from January 1, 2009 to June 30, 2009.
