Latest version.
  • A town and one or  more  villages  situated  wholly  or  partly  within such town are hereby empowered to enter into an agreement
      for the joint acquisition, construction and operation of a public  dock.
      Such   agreement   shall  provide  for  the  method  of  acquisition  or
      construction of the public dock; the management and  operation  thereof;
      the  method  of  fixing  the  proportionate  share of each participating
      municipality and of making contributions; the method  of  making  annual
      adjustments  of the proportionate shares of the annual cost and expense;
      the adoption of rules and regulations in relation to  the  operation  of
      the  dock  and  the conditions of use; the adjudication of disputes; and
      other matters necessary to effectuate such an arrangement.  The share of
      the capital cost apportioned to the town and  the  village  or  villages
      respectively  may  be financed by each such municipality respectively in
      the manner provided in the local finance law. The share of the  cost  of
      operation  and  maintenance  to  be paid by the town and debt service on
      obligations issued to finance the town's share of capital cost shall  be
      included  in  the  annual budget of the town and shall be levied against
      the  taxable  real  property  in  the  town  situated  outside  of  such
      participating  village  or  villages. The share of the cost of operation
      and maintenance to be paid by a village and debt service  on  obligation
      issued to finance a village's share of capital cost shall be included in
      the  annual  budget  of  such  village  and  shall be levied against the
      taxable real property in the village. Nothing herein contained shall  be
      construed  to  restrict  or  prohibit  the  exercise  by the town of any
      existing power or authority to provide dock facilities  in  any  village
      situated within such town.
