N.Y. Town Law § 142: Charges for use of self-supporting improvements

§ 142. Charges for use of self-supporting improvements. The town board

of any town in Suffolk county and of any suburban town, may, by

ordinance, rule, or regulation after a public hearing held on notice

published at least once in a newspaper circulating in the town, not less

than ten days prior to such hearing, establish or revise charges for the

use or enjoyment of any self-supporting improvement. Such town board

shall establish charges for the use or enjoyment of any such improvement

for a daily, hourly or single use of such improvement. In addition to

such daily, hourly or single use charges, the town board of any such

town may establish weekly, seasonal or annual charges for the use or

enjoyment of any self-supporting improvement. Applications for weekly,

seasonal or annual permits to use such self-supporting improvement shall

be made on forms supplied by the officer or employee placed in charge

thereof by the town board of such town, and the charges therefor shall

be paid upon the issuance of such permits. Such charges shall be used

only for the purpose of operating, maintaining and improving such

self-supporting improvement, including reserves and the payment of

principal and interest on any bonds, notes or other obligations issued

for the acquisition, construction, lease, purchase, improvement or

reconstruction of any such self-supporting improvement.
