N.Y. General Municipal Law § 209-s: Contracts between municipalities and fire districts for joint fire training centers

§ 209-s. Contracts between municipalities and fire districts for joint

fire training centers. The local governing bodies of the several

cities, towns, villages and fire districts of the state, are hereby

authorized on behalf of their respective cities, towns, villages and

fire districts to enter into contracts with any other municipality or

municipalities or fire districts for the construction, operation and

maintenance and joint use of fire training centers at their joint

expense. Any such contract may provide for the apportionment and

allocation of expenses among the parties and, in the case of expenses of

a town, may make provision for the elimination of dual liability of

taxable real property within the boundaries of the contracting parties;

provided however, that unless the governing board of any village within

the town shall agree otherwise, the expenses of a town shall not be

charged against the taxable real property within such village.
