Agreements relating to payment in lieu of taxes
Public Authorities (PBA) CHAPTER 43-A, ARTICLE 8, TITLE 34
§ 2799-uuu. Agreements relating to payment in lieu of taxes. 1. In
order to assure that municipalities may not suffer undue loss payments
in lieu of taxes, the city has entered into payment in lieu of tax
agreements with the East Syracuse Minoa central school district, the
town of Dewitt, the town of Salina, the town of Cicero and the North
Syracuse central school district. The authority is obligated to continue
to make any PILOT payments as set forth in these PILOT agreements.

2. Subject to any agreement with bondholders, the authority may, but
is not required to, increase the amount of the payments in lieu of taxes
to any such municipality in respect of any real property which is owned
or leased by the authority, is located in such municipality, and is used
for the airport, aviation facilities, pollution control facilities, and
other facilities used for public aviation purposes or for airport
development or to support or in connection with the airport, aviation
facilities or pollution control facilities. For the purposes of this
section, such public aviation purposes shall include without limitation
air terminal facilities, aviation facilities, parking facilities, fuel
facilities, maintenance facilities, and facilities for the loading,
unloading, holding, interchange or transfer of passengers, freight,
baggage or cargo.

3. (a) In the event that any real property acquired by the authority
subsequent to the effective date of this act is used or is to be used by
the authority, or a lessee thereof, for purposes other than the airport,
aviation facilities, pollution control facilities, and other facilities
used for public aviation purposes or for airport development or to
support or in connection with the airport, aviation facilities, or
pollution control facilities, the authority, or a lessee thereof, as the
case may be, shall enter into agreements with any municipality of the
state to pay annual sums in lieu of taxes in respect of such real
property located in such municipality. For the purposes of this section,
such purposes other than the airport, aviation facilities, pollution
control facilities, and other facilities used for public aviation
purposes or for airport development or to support or in connection with
the airport, aviation facilities, or pollution control facilities, shall
include without limitation hotels, motels, restaurants, retail stores
and concessions that are not located within any air terminal building,
office buildings to the extent not used by the authority or any other
public corporation for its own corporate purposes, and such other
buildings and improvements as determined by the authority to be not
exclusively for the airport, aviation facilities, pollution control
facilities, and other facilities used for aviation purposes or for
airport development or to support or in connection with the airport,
aviation facilities, or pollution control facilities.

(b) The authority shall determine: (i) the amount of such annual
payments in lieu of taxes, (ii) whether the use of such property is for
purposes other than public aviation purposes and (iii) the extent to
which such property is used for purposes other than public aviation
purposes.
