Section 119-J. Costs  


Latest version.
  • The share of each participating municipality of the
      cost of providing common drainage  facilities  shall  be  fixed  by  the
      contract.    In the event that the acquisition and development of common
      drainage facilities shall be effected by the individual action of one of
      the participating municipalities, it shall be  lawful  for  any  of  the
      other  participating  municipalities  to  make a lump sum payment of its
      share from moneys on hand and available for such purpose. Nothing herein
      contained  shall  prevent  the  purchase  or  condemnation  of  existing
      drainage  facilities  or  portions thereof necessary for the purposes of
      the joint project, provided, however, that there shall be  no  power  to
      condemn  property  the  legal  title  to  which  is  vested  in a public
      corporation, district corporation  or  a  special  improvement  district
      unless  the  owner shall consent thereto. In the event that any drainage
      facility owned by one of the participating  municipalities  is  acquired
      for  the  purpose  of  the  common  facilities, such municipality may be
      allowed a credit against its share of the cost equal to the agreed value
      of the assets so acquired. The share of each participating  municipality
      may  be  paid  from  taxes  levied  for  the  fiscal  year in which such
      expenditure is to be made or may be financed as provided in title  one-A
      of article two of the local finance law.
