Section 53-0307. Funding of department; municipal authorization for local urban forestry and arboriculture programs

In  the  absence  of  federal  legislation  funding  the  department's
  participation   under  section  53-0305,  no  duty  is  imposed  on  the
  department hereunder. Federal funding, however, is not a prerequisite to
  local  implementation  of  municipal  urban  forestry  or  arboriculture
  programs, as herein provided; and any municipality may implement a local
  urban  forestry  or  arboriculture program within its jurisdiction under
  the authority of this  title  and  chapter.  All  charges  and  expenses
  incurred under this section by a town shall be a charge upon the taxable
  property of that part of the town outside any incorporated village.
