Section 83. Construction or improvement, partly at county expense  


Latest version.
  • If the
      estimated cost of a project  in  any  county  shall  exceed  the  amount
      available  in  such county for such work to be provided by the state and
      federal  government,  the  board  of  supervisors  of  the  county,   by
      resolution,  act  or  ordinance, may approve of such project within such
      estimate and may provide that the county shall pay the  amount  of  such
      excess. If the commissioner of transportation thereafter shall determine
      to  proceed with the project, the board of supervisors shall appropriate
      sufficient moneys to pay the amount of such excess. Moneys to meet  such
      appropriation  may be provided from moneys raised by tax, from available
      moneys in the county road fund, from other available moneys or  pursuant
      to  the  local  finance law. Moneys so appropriated shall be paid out by
      the county treasurer  on  the  written  order  of  the  commissioner  of
      transportation.    The  form  of any resolution, act or ordinance making
      such  an  appropriation,  shall  be  approved  by  the  commissioner  of
      transportation,  and  immediately upon the adoption thereof the clerk of
      the board of supervisors shall transmit a  certified  copy  to  him.  No
      resolution,  act  or  ordinance  thereafter  adopted by such board shall
      amend or repeal any prior resolution, act or ordinance adopted  pursuant
      to  this  section,  either  directly  or indirectly, excepting under the
      advice and with the consent of the commissioner of transportation.
