§ 120-x. Agreements for joint acquisition, construction and operation

of public docks. A town and one or more villages situated wholly or

partly within such town are hereby empowered to enter into an agreement

for the joint acquisition, construction and operation of a public dock.

Such agreement shall provide for the method of acquisition or

the method of fixing the proportionate share of each participating

municipality and of making contributions; the method of making annual

adjustments of the proportionate shares of the annual cost and expense;

the adoption of rules and regulations in relation to the operation of

the dock and the conditions of use; the adjudication of disputes; and

other matters necessary to effectuate such an arrangement. The share of

the capital cost apportioned to the town and the village or villages

respectively may be financed by each such municipality respectively in

the manner provided in the local finance law. The share of the cost of

operation and maintenance to be paid by the town and debt service on

obligations issued to finance the town's share of capital cost shall be

included in the annual budget of the town and shall be levied against

the taxable real property in the town situated outside of such

participating village or villages. The share of the cost of operation

and maintenance to be paid by a village and debt service on obligation

issued to finance a village's share of capital cost shall be included in

the annual budget of such village and shall be levied against the

construed to restrict or prohibit the exercise by the town of any

existing power or authority to provide dock facilities in any village

situated within such town.
