AN ACT TO CONVEY THE REAL PROPERTY OF THE FAIRMONT-LARKIN AREA RECREATION COMMISSION TO SPARTANBURG COUNTY; TO DISSOLVE THE FAIRMONT-LARKIN AREA RECREATION COMMISSION; AND TO REPEAL ACT 819 OF 1978, RELATING TO THE CREATION AND DUTIES OF THE FAIRMONT-LARKIN AREA RECREATION COMMISSION.

Whereas, the Fairmont-Larkin Area Recreation Commission was created by Act 819 of 1978; and

Whereas, the commission's only asset is a baseball field; and

Whereas, the commission has no debts or outstanding obligations; and

Whereas, the commission only has authority to operate public parks, playgrounds, and athletic fields and to accept funds and property, but does not have the authority to convey property; and

Whereas, the commission has only one remaining appointed member and has been inactive for a number of years; and

Whereas, Spartanburg County has maintained the commission's baseball field for the past twenty years and owns the adjoining property, which is used to access the field; and

Whereas, Spartanburg County's Parks Department has funding budgeted to make improvements in the baseball field and has the resources to operate the field as it does other athletic fields in the county. Now, therefore,

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

Transfer of property to Spartanburg County

SECTION 1.    The General Assembly finds that the real property of the Fairmont-Larkin Area Recreation Commission, created by Act 819 of 1978, can be better administered by Spartanburg County through its Parks Department. Because the Fairmont-Larkin Area Recreation Commission has no other assets and no debts, but does not have the authority to transfer real property, this bill directs that all the commission's real property be conveyed to Spartanburg County and following the conveyance that the commission be dissolved.

Title of real property vested in Spartanburg County

SECTION 2.    Title to all real property owned by the Fairmont-Larkin Area Recreation Commission at the time of its dissolution is declared to be vested in Spartanburg County.

Deed of property to Spartanburg County

SECTION 3.    The Clerk of Court for Spartanburg County is authorized and directed to execute and deliver a deed on behalf of the Fairmont-Larkin Area Recreation Commission conveying all real property owned by the Fairmont-Larkin Area Recreation Commission at the time of its dissolution to Spartanburg County.

Repeal

SECTION 4.    Act 819 of 1978 is repealed.

Time effective

SECTION 5.    This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.

Ratified the 7th day of March, 2024.

Approved the 11th day of March, 2024. -- L.
