The sponsor's argument

Why Mario Mattera says this is needed

The county of Suffolk is seeking authority to alienate a quarter-acre piece of parkland in the town of Smithtown in exchange for a like sized parcel of land. Adjacent to the county of Suffolk parcel is a parcel owned by Russel and Deana Galindo. In improving their property, the Galindo's-constructed improvements that extended onto the county owned land adjoining their property. The County is seeking to alienate and convey to the Galindo's the .23-acre strip of county owned land that these improvements were made on. In exchange for the conveyance of the county owned lands, the Galindo's have agreed to convey to the county their interest in a simi- lar sized parcel of property boarding the current eastern line of the county parkland. Such lands will be dedicated by the county as parkland and in doing so it will ensure that the county park will maintain its current size and usefulness.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
