Latest version.
  • l. Whenever the fiscal year
      of a village is changed  by  action  of  the  board  of  trustees  taken
      pursuant to section 5-510 of this article, the current fiscal year shall
      be automatically extended to include the interim period between the last
      day of the current fiscal year and the first day of the new fiscal year,
      unless the board of trustees shall elect to treat such interim period as
      a  separate  fiscal  year,  as  provided  in  subdivision  three of this
      section.
        2. The board of trustees may raise all or part of the amount necessary
      to pay the obligations and other expenses of the village for the interim
      period by the issuance of obligations pursuant to the local finance law;
      provided, however, that revenues and other income resulting from special
      assessments for capital projects or from operation of revenue  producing
      undertakings,  enterprises  and  utilities, including but not limited to
      water supply, sewerage, electric, steam or gas,  for  which  obligations
      may  become due during the interim period shall be applicable to payment
      of obligations and expenses therefor as provided  by  law  and  to  that
      extent bonds or notes shall not be issued therefor.
        3.  The  board of trustees may treat such interim period as a separate
      fiscal year, in which case all of the provisions of this article and  of
      the  real  property  tax law relative to the preparation of a budget and
      the assessment, levy and collection of taxes shall apply to such interim
      period; provided, however, that the amount to be raised by tax  on  real
      estate  in  any  such  interim  period  shall not exceed the limitations
      prescribed by article eight of the constitution, divided by  twelve  and
      multiplied by the number of months contained in such interim period.
