§ 53-0307. Funding of department; municipal authorization for local

urban forestry and arboriculture programs.

In the absence of federal legislation funding the department's
participation under section 53-0305, no duty is imposed on the
department hereunder. Federal funding, however, is not a prerequisite to
local implementation of municipal urban forestry or arboriculture
programs, as herein provided; and any municipality may implement a local
urban forestry or arboriculture program within its jurisdiction under
the authority of this title and chapter. All charges and expenses
incurred under this section by a town shall be a charge upon the taxable
property of that part of the town outside any incorporated village.
