Title: Requires that certain land which was conveyed to the town of Riverhead in 2011 be leased to the YMCA of Long Island for the provision of recreational and community services

Sponsor: Asm. Jodi Giglio
Introduced: June 9, 2025
Status (as of 2025-06-17): Passed Assembly; delivered to the Senate and referred to the Senate Rules Committee
Companion Senate Bill: S.8378

Overview / Purpose

A.8809 would require that a parcel of land, which was conveyed to the Town of Riverhead in 2011, be leased to the YMCA of Long Island for use in providing recreational and community services. The bill is intended to secure the use of the specified municipal property by the YMCA to support local recreation, youth, and community programming.

Key Provisions

Directs the Town of Riverhead to enter into a lease agreement for specified land conveyed to the town in 2011, with the YMCA of Long Island as the lessee.

Establishes the intended use of the leased premises: recreational and community services provided by the YMCA (e.g., programming, facilities, and related community activities).

The title indicates a mandatory leasing requirement; however, the publicly provided materials do not include the bill’s full statutory text in readable form, so details such as lease term, rent, rent abatements, maintenance responsibilities, insurance, or reversion conditions are not available in the materials reviewed.

Who Is Affected

YMCA of Long Island: Gains a statutory basis to lease and operate the property for community and recreational use.

Town of Riverhead: Required to execute the lease; municipal officials will handle lease terms and administration consistent with the bill and local law.

Local residents and program participants: Potential increased or stabilized recreational programming and access to YMCA services on the leased land.

Taxpayers/local budget: Possible fiscal effects depending on lease terms (e.g., below-market rent, capital improvements, maintenance obligations) — specifics not provided in the available text.

Fiscal and Legal Considerations

The bill’s fiscal impact depends on lease terms (rent amount, who funds improvements/maintenance). The available summary does not include such financial details.

There may be state or local legal requirements governing municipal disposition or leasing of public lands; the bill appears to operate as a legislative authorization or directive specific to the identified parcel.

Interested parties should review the bill text (and any fiscal note) for explicit language on compensation, term length, and conditions.
