SECTION 83
Construction or improvement, partly at county expense
Highway (HAY) CHAPTER 25, ARTICLE 4
§ 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.
