Latest version.
  • 1.  The  village  may,  by  resolution  or resolutions of the village board or by
      instruments authorized by such  resolutions,  convey,  with  or  without
      consideration,  to the authority real and personal property owned by the
      village for use by the authority as a project  or  projects  or  a  part
      thereof  or in connection therewith and pledge and pay to the authority,
      as security for its bonds, notes or other liabilities, certain  revenues
      and  income  of the village from parking facilities owned or operated by
      the village. In case of real property so  conveyed,  the  title  thereto
      shall  remain  in  the  village but the authority shall have the use and
      occupancy thereof for so long as its corporate existence shall continue,
      unless otherwise provided for by the authority and the village.  In  the
      case  of  personal  property  so  conveyed,  the title shall pass to the
      authority.
        2. The village may acquire by  gift,  purchase  or  condemnation  real
      property  in  the name of the village for any of the projects or for the
      widening of existing roads, streets, parkways, avenues  or  highways  or
      for  new  roads,  streets,  parkways,  avenues or highways to any of the
      projects, or partly for such  purposes  and  partly  for  other  village
      purposes,  by  gift,  purchase or condemnation in the manner provided by
      law for the acquisition of  real  property  by  the  village.  For  like
      purposes,  the village may close such streets, roads, parkways, avenues,
      or highways as may be  necessary  or  convenient,  except  as  to  state
      highways  and  arterial ways which may not be closed without the consent
      of the state commissioner of transportation.
        3. Contracts may be entered into between the village and the authority
      providing for the property to be conveyed or  pledged  or  paid  by  the
      village  to the authority, the additional property to be acquired by the
      village and so conveyed, the  streets,  roads,  parkways,  avenues,  and
      highways  to  be  closed  by  the  village  and  the  amounts, terms and
      conditions of payment to be made by the authority.  Such  contracts  may
      also  contain  covenants by the village as to the road, street, parkway,
      avenue and highway improvements to be made by the village and as to such
      matters which pertain to any conveyance or pledge and payment of  moneys
      or property to the authority. Any such contracts between the village and
      the  authority  may  be pledged by the authority to secure its bonds and
      notes and may not be modified thereafter except as provided by the terms
      of such contract and such pledge. The  village  board  of  trustees  may
      authorize  such  contracts  between the village and the authority and no
      other authorization on the part of the village for such contracts  shall
      be  necessary.  Any such contracts may be so authorized and entered into
      by the village and in such manner as the village board of  trustees  may
      determine,  and  the  payments required to be made by the village may be
      made and financed notwithstanding that no provision therefor shall  have
      first been made in the capital budget of the village. All contractual or
      other obligations of the village incurred in carrying out the provisions
      of  this  title  shall  be  included in and provided for by each capital
      budget of the village thereafter made, if and to the  extent  that  they
      may appropriately be included therein.
        4.  Subject to subdivision four of section one thousand six hundred-dd
      of this title, the authority may itself, subject to  prior  approval  of
      the village board of trustees, acquire, in the name of the village, real
      property  necessary  or convenient in connection with any project at the
      cost and expense of the authority by purchase or  condemnation  pursuant
      to  the  eminent  domain procedure law. The authority shall have the use
      and occupancy of such real property so long as its  corporate  existence
      shall continue.
    
        5.  In case the authority shall have the use and occupancy of any real
      property which it shall determine is no longer required for  a  project,
      then,  if such real property was acquired at the cost and expense of the
      village, the authority  shall  have  power  to  surrender  its  use  and
      occupancy thereof to the village, or, if such real property was acquired
      at  the cost and expense of the authority, then the authority shall have
      power to sell, lease or otherwise  dispose  of  said  real  property  at
      public  sale, and shall retain and have the power to use the proceeds of
      sale, rentals or other moneys derived from the disposition  thereof  for
      its purposes.
