Section 19-1914. Village functions and services

l. Unless such action
  shall be contrary to the plan or inconsistent with law, the  town  shall
  assume the duties and functions of the dissolved village and continue to
  provide  the  services  theretofore provided by the village. The cost of
  such services shall be a charge upon the  taxable  property  within  the
  dissolved  village  unless the town board, acting pursuant to law, shall
  elect to provide such services by establishing or extending a special or
  an improvement district, or as a town function.
    2. Whenever a  village  shall  adopt  a  proposition  to  dissolve  as
  hereinabove  provided,  the town board of any town in which such village
  or a portion thereof is situated may, prior to  the  effective  date  of
  such  dissolution and upon a public hearing, adopt an order establishing
  or extending one or more special fire or improvement districts, or  town
  improvements authorized by the town law, to carry on and operate such of
  the  existing  village  improvements or services as may be required, and
  prorating village indebtedness or  portion  thereof  against  each  such
  district or improvement as deemed appropriate by said town board. Notice
  of  such  hearing shall specify the amount of indebtedness to be charged
  to the district or benefited area, if any, and the basis of  the  future
  assessment  of costs of the improvement or service. The establishment of
  such districts or improvements shall become effective on  the  effective
  date  of  such  dissolution except that assessments therefor may be made
  and levied prior to such effective date. Certified copies  of  any  such
  order shall be filed in the office of the county clerk and in the office
  of  the state department of audit and control at Albany, New York within
  ten days after adoption.
    Each such district or improvement shall, in all respects, be governed,
  operated and administered in the same manner  as  similar  districts  or
  improvements created pursuant to the provisions of the town law.
