N.Y. Public Authorities Law § 2634: Cooperation with municipalities

§ 2634. Cooperation with municipalities. 1. The commission is a

cooperative regional organization of six municipalities to implement and

manage an urban cultural park encompassing all or part of each of their

territory and based upon the mutual assent and participation of each

municipality. The activities of the commission shall be coordinated with

the local planning, cultural and park activities of each municipality.

No real property may be acquired or project undertaken by the commission

in a municipality without the written approval for such action of the

member of the board from such municipality.

2. Each municipality may provide the commission with the services of

its agents, employees and facilities without charge to the corporation.

Persons serving as officers or employees of the commission may be

employees of a municipality and the commission, in such case, may pay

the municipality an agreed portion of the compensation or costs.

3. For purposes of implementing the management plan, any individual

municipality may act with the agreement of the commission to carry out

an individual project in its own name or acquire real property for a

project in the name of the commission at the cost and expense of the

commission. In case the commission shall have the use and occupancy of

any real property which it shall determine is no longer required for a

project then, if such property was acquired at the cost and expense of a

municipality, the commission shall have the power to surrender its use

and occupancy thereof to the municipality, or, if such real property was

acquired at the cost and expense of the commission, then the commission

shall have power to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of said real

property at public 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.
