N.Y. Highway Law § 83: Construction or improvement, partly at county expense

§ 83. Construction or improvement, partly at county expense. If the

estimated cost of a project in any county shall exceed the amount

available in such county for such work to be provided by the state and

federal government, the board of supervisors of the county, by

resolution, act or ordinance, may approve of such project within such

estimate and may provide that the county shall pay the amount of such

excess. If the commissioner of transportation thereafter shall determine

to proceed with the project, the board of supervisors shall appropriate

sufficient moneys to pay the amount of such excess. Moneys to meet such

appropriation may be provided from moneys raised by tax, from available

moneys in the county road fund, from other available moneys or pursuant

to the local finance law. Moneys so appropriated shall be paid out by

the county treasurer on the written order of the commissioner of

transportation. The form of any resolution, act or ordinance making

such an appropriation, shall be approved by the commissioner of

transportation, and immediately upon the adoption thereof the clerk of

the board of supervisors shall transmit a certified copy to him. No

resolution, act or ordinance thereafter adopted by such board shall

amend or repeal any prior resolution, act or ordinance adopted pursuant

to this section, either directly or indirectly, excepting under the

advice and with the consent of the commissioner of transportation.
