N.Y. Public Housing Law § 99: Municipal services

§ 99. Municipal services. In connection with projects located within

its respective territorial boundaries, a municipality, a school

district, a fire alarm district, a fire district, a fire protection

district, or an improvement district may, upon such terms, with or

without consideration, as the local legislative body of such

municipality or the governing body of such district may deem advisable,

render or contract to render services to an authority, housing company

or a government, or provide and maintain parks, sewerage, or other

facilities adjacent to or in connection with a project. A municipality

or a district hereinabove described may also render or contract to

render such services and to provide such facilities in connection with

projects located outside its respective territorial boundaries upon such

terms and consideration as shall, in the determination of the local

legislative body of such municipality or the governing body of such

district, which determination shall be conclusive, compensate such

municipality or district for the cost of furnishing such services and

facilities. A municipality may enter into an agreement with an

authority, housing company or a government, upon such terms as it shall

determine, with or without compensation, to open, pave, install, close

or change the grade of streets, roads, roadways, alleys, sidewalks, or

other places, to change the municipal map, to plan, replan, zone or

rezone any section of the municipality. In connection with the exercise

of this power a municipality may, if it deems advisable, incur the

entire expense of any such public improvements located within its

territorial boundaries without assessment against abutting property

owners, or contract with an authority upon such terms, with or without

consideration, as it may deem advisable, with respect to the exercise by

the municipality or government of its powers relating to the repair,

closing or demolition of unsafe, insanitary, or unfit dwellings, and

with respect to aid and cooperation by the municipality or government in

the planning, undertaking, construction or operation of projects.
