Action Requested
	
	The proposed resolution authorizes the Chancellor to abandon certain property at the SUNY Institute of Technology to the County of Oneida through the Office of General Services.

Resolution

I recommend that the Board of Trustees adopt the following resolution:

Whereas the State University Board of Trustees has determined that the property described hereinafter, located at the SUNY Institute of Technology, is no longer necessary or useful to the purposes of the State University; now, therefore, be it 

Resolved that the Chancellor, or designee, be, and hereby is, authorized to declare abandoned property, located within the Edic Road Bypass, in the Town of Marcy, Oneida County, containing in total an area not to exceed approximately 19 acres of land, the approximate location of which is indicated in the attached map; and, be it further

Resolved that the Chancellor, or designee, be, and hereby is, authorized to take all steps necessary to execute or approve, in the name of and on behalf of this Board, all documents, notices, maps, or any other instruments necessary or proper in order that such land may be conveyed by the Office of General Services in accordance with Sections 30-a(1) and 34 of the Public Lands Law to the County of Oneida for the purpose of maintaining the Edic Road Bypass which runs alongside the main campus of the SUNY Institute of Technology.

Background

      The resolution authorizes the abandonment and conveyance to Oneida County of not more than approximately 19 acres of land of the campus of the SUNY Institute of Technology, being the newly constructed Edic Road Bypass, located in the Town of Marcy, Oneida County, New York for the purpose of maintaining the Edic Road Bypass, a newly developed road that was created as part of the Marcy NanoCenter at SUNYIT project.

      Once the real property is declared abandoned by the State University pursuant to the provisions of Public Lands Law §30-a, the State’s Office of General Services is authorized to convey such property pursuant to the provisions of Public Lands Law §34 for street or highway purposes in consideration of one dollar to be paid to the State and on such terms and conditions as the Office of General Services may impose and as may be required by pre-existing easements and conveyances.
