Conveyance of property by the village to the authority; acquisition of property by the village or by the authority
Public Authorities (PBA) CHAPTER 43-A, ARTICLE 7, TITLE 16
* § 1599-fff. Conveyance of property by the village to the authority;
acquisition of property by the village or by the authority. (a) The
village may, by resolution or resolutions of the board of trustees 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. 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. In the
case of personal property so conveyed, the title shall pass to the
authority.

(b) The village may acquire in the name of the village by purchase or
condemnation real property in the village for any of the projects or for
the widening of existing roads, streets, avenues or highways, or for new
roads, streets, avenues or highways, within a radius of one mile to any
of the projects, or partly for such purposes and partly for other
village purposes, by 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, 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.

(c) Contracts may be entered into between the village and the
authority providing for the property to be conveyed by the village to
the authority, the additional property to be acquired by the village and
so conveyed, the streets, roads, 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, avenue and highway improvements to be
made by the village. Any such contracts between the village and the
authority may be pledged by the authority to secure its bonds and may
not be modified thereafter except as provided by the terms of the
pledge. The 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
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.

(d) Subject to the provisions of subsection (d) of section fifteen
hundred ninety-nine-ccc hereof, the authority may itself acquire real
property for a project in the name of the village at the cost and
expense of the authority by purchase or condemnation pursuant to the
condemnation law or pursuant to the laws relating to the condemnation of
land by the village. The authority shall have the use and occupancy of
such real property so long as its corporate existence shall continue.

(e) 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 or private 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.
