      the not-for-profit corporation law,  except  to  the  extent  that  such
      section  is inconsistent with this section, which corporation shall have
      the purpose, among others, of financing  or  refinancing  costs  arising
      from or related to the closing of Freshkills landfill.
        2.  Such corporation shall have the authority to issue and sell one or

      to  time on behalf of the city of New York to finance or refinance costs
      relating to the closure of the Freshkills Landfill.  Such  bonds,  notes
      and  other  obligations  shall  not constitute a debt or indebtedness of
      such city and, together with the income therefrom, shall be exempt  from
      taxation, except for transfer and estate taxes.

      articles  of  incorporation  and bylaws for such corporation, are hereby
      ratified and shall be deemed to meet the requirements of  this  section,

      authorization provided in subdivision one of this section.
        4.  The provisions of this section shall not be deemed or construed to
      alter or impair any other power of the city of New York to  provide  for
      the  creation  of  not-for-profit  corporations  pursuant  to  any other
      applicable provision of law, but shall be in addition to any other  such
      power.
