AN ACT relating to authorizing the city of Gloversville and the town  of
  Johnstown to enter into a certain cooperative agreement

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1.  Legislative intent and purpose. It is the  intent  of  the
legislature  to  enable  the town of Johnstown and city of Gloversville,
both located in Fulton county, to share in the economic benefits result-
ing from the development of a certain parcel of land  currently  located
in the town to be annexed by the city. The proposed development is to be
constructed  on  a  parcel  of  land  in  the city of Gloversville which
requires a new road to be constructed in the town of Johnstown  on  land
owned  by  the  Fulton County Federal Credit Union. The credit union has
agreed to the road construction in exchange for water and sewer services
to the three parcels that will be created by the road construction.  The
city  of  Gloversville  has  decided  to annex the Fulton County Federal
Credit Union parcel to enable it to provide water and sewer services  to
all three parcels.
  S  2.  Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, the
city of Gloversville and the town of Johnstown are hereby authorized and
empowered to enter into an agreement with each other  whereby  the  city
and  town  agree  to  share  the  resulting economic benefits related to
certain property annexed from the town into the city.
  S 3. Any such agreement, or any amendments to the agreement,  must  be
approved  by each municipality by a majority vote of the voting strength
of its governing body.
