verified account of the disbursements with verified or certified
vouchers therefor attached, a refund of any unused amount, and such
other conditions upon the use thereof as the board may deem proper,

appropriate and pay out for the support and maintenance of county
extension service associations and the work thereof, and for the
employment by the county association of professional staff, and for any
other purposes which the board of supervisors shall deem proper and may
raise money for such purpose by a tax on real and personal property in
the county. The board of supervisors may direct the county treasurer to
pay out moneys from such appropriation upon the order of the treasurer
of the county association, upon his giving a proper receipt therefore,
and the chairman of the board of supervisors may be authorized to enter
into an agreement to pay such funds in regular installments in advance,
and such agreement shall be sufficient authority in the hands of said
county treasurer to pay out such moneys, provided that this money shall
be expended under an agreement to be entered into between the county
association and Cornell university, as agent for the state, for the
cooperative management of said work of the county extension service
association and the proper supervision of the professional staff
employed therefor. The agreement shall identify by his or their titles
the professional staff to be employed by the associations and shall

shall identify such services or programs and state the terms on which
they are to be furnished, including the sources from which payments are
to be made. The co-operative relations therein established shall
continue until either party to the agreement shall notify the other
party that it wishes to terminate the agreement. Such a notification
shall be in writing and shall be served at least six months preceding
any action taken to annul the agreement. After receiving such notice
co-operative relationships between said parties shall cease at the
expiration of the six months' period of notice providing reconsideration
or request for continuance is not made by the party issuing notification
of desire to discontinue work under the provisions of this agreement. On

when requested by the board of supervisors, the officers of such county
association shall report in writing to the board of supervisors a
detailed statement of its work and transactions for the year ending

supervisors may request and in such form as said board may direct.
(b) County or regional extension service association and its work. In
each county or region of two or more counties of the state which shall
qualify under this subdivision to co-operate with Cornell university for
extending to the people of the state of New York, not enrolled in said
colleges, the educational programs of the New York State College of
Agriculture and Life Sciences and the New York State College of Human
Ecology at Cornell university and subjects relating thereto, in
cooperation with the state, there shall be recognized and may be created
a subordinate governmental agency consisting of an unincorporated
organization of citizens of the respective counties interested in
agriculture, home economics and community betterment under a form of
organization and administration approved by Cornell university as agent
for the state. It shall be known as a county or regional extension
service association. Cooperative extension work in a county may consist
of programs in the fields of agriculture, home economics, 4-H and
community betterment. References herein to the county or regional
association shall mean such an organization. Only one such associaton
shall be recognized or formed in each county or, by formal agreement,
two or more counties may join to form one regional association to serve
the several counties. The instrument providing its form of organization
and administration shall be deemed its constitution. It shall have a
board of directors and the offices of president and treasurer, to be
constituted and filled as provided in such constitution, which also
shall regulate admission to and tenure of enrollment in the
organization. The board of directors of any such association heretofore
or hereafter created may adopt such regulations and by-laws governing
its procedure in the work assigned to it as are not inconsistent with
the provisions of this subdivision. Subject to such rules and
regulations and the constitution so approved, the president of the
association shall act for, as and in the name of the association in all
matters except those as to which the treasurer is given powers and
duties. Civil actions or proceedings may be brought by or against the
president or treasurer, as such, of the association. A judgment against
them or either of them shall be enforceable only against funds or
property of the association. Such an association is hereby declared to
be a subordinate governmental agency and neither the county nor Cornell
university nor any member, officer or director of the association shall
be liable in damages for any injury to person or property in connection
with the activities of the association the proximate cause of which was
not directly their or his fault or negligence.
(c) When authorized by the board of directors of a county association,
the treasurer of the association may acquire in his name as such
treasurer, and he and his successors in office may hold, in trust, for
carrying on the work and effectuating the purposes or a purpose of the
association, personal property and real property or any interest
therein, or the possession thereof under a lease. The instrument whereby
such property, interest or use is acquired by purchase shall designate
the grantee or lessee, as the case may be, by name and official title of
treasurer as trustee. Such treasurer, as such, and as such trustee, may
take and hold personal and real property by gift, grant or devise, when
the instrument of gift or the will gives or devises property, personal
or real, directly to the association as such and in its name, or to any
person or persons for it, or in trust for its use and benefit. Such
treasurer, as treasurer and trustee, may mortgage, lease, assign, convey
or transfer any property held by him for the association, either
personal or real, when authorized so to do by the directors of the
association, by a deed or other instrument executed by and in the name
of the then treasurer as such and as trustee. No such mortgage, lease,
assignment, conveyance or transfer shall be made contrary to the
conditions, if any, of the instrument under which the property, interest
therein or use thereof, was acquired. The use and application of the
acquired property, income therefrom and proceeds realized from a
conveyance or transfer thereof, if any, shall be in accordance with
rules and directions of such board.
(d) For the support of cooperative extension programs and subject to
annual appropriation by the legislature, there shall be annually
apportioned to each county cooperative extension association out of any
moneys in the state treasury appropriated therefor, fifty cents for each
dollar up to the first one hundred thousand dollars appropriated by such
county for cooperative extension activities during the state fiscal year
most recently ended and five cents for each dollar appropriated by such
county for cooperative extension activities in excess of one hundred
thousand dollars during the state fiscal year most recently ended. In
the case of a regional extension service association authorized by this
section, the maximum amount to be apportioned to any such association
shall be the sum of the maximum apportionments which would have accrued
to a separate association in each county included in the region. No
county cooperative extension association shall receive an apportionment
of funds under this section in an amount less than had been received in
the nineteen hundred ninety-five--ninety-six state fiscal year, provided
that the annual state appropriation is not less than the state moneys
appropriated in the nineteen hundred ninety-five--ninety-six state
fiscal year.
1. The entitlement of each association to state moneys annually
appropriated under this chapter is subject to the furnishing of
equivalent sums from county appropriations.
2. The apportionments provided pursuant to provisions of this

authorized to set standards for professional staff and to make rules and
regulations for the organization and conduct of such work. The moneys
appropriated pursuant to this subdivision shall be paid from the state
treasury on the warrant of the comptroller on vouchers approved by the
treasurer of Cornell university.
For the purpose of carrying out the co-operative extension work of the
county association, a county association may:

15-a. Legislative intent and declaration of policy. 1. The county of
Nassau has, by several acquisitions from the United States government,
become the owner of land within the county commonly known as Mitchel
Field for the purpose of providing educational, cultural, recreational
and civic facilities for the benefit of all the people of the county.
The United States government has, by land exchange with the county,
assembled a large parcel of land in Mitchel Field to be used for the
development of a federal office building complex. Several educational
institutions have also erected facilities within the immediate area. In
addition to facilities for the aforesaid purposes, some of the land will
be used for compatible commercial purposes designed to generate tax
revenues and further serve the public. All of the Mitchel Field complex
is within the Uniondale fire district, which is capably protecting the
property and residents but which has found and will find it increasingly
difficult to extend the protection to Mitchel Field as it becomes more
fully developed. Accordingly, the Uniondale fire district requires
additional facilities to accommodate the fire protection needs of the
Mitchel Field complex. These needs include coverage of the Nassau
community college complex, certain facilities and dormitories of Hofstra
university, the Hebrew academy of Nassau county and the Nassau County
Veterans Memorial Coliseum. In addition, the county of Nassau plans to
construct a new college campus for Nassau and a number of buildings for
public use, including a performing arts center and a central reference
library. All of these facilities are being used and will be used for the
benefit of the people of the county and for the improvement of their
health, welfare, education, culture, recreation, prosperity and for the
improvement of trade and commerce. In order to insure the necessary fire
protection for the foregoing facilities and for such other facilities
located within the Uniondale fire district, it is deemed essential, and
in the best interests of the county of Nassau, to insure that adequate
fire protection will be provided to the Mitchel Field complex.
2. Power to provide for fire protection for the Mitchel Field complex
and the other structures and buildings located within the Uniondale fire
district.
In order to provide more adequate fire protection for the above
mentioned facilities at Mitchel Field within the Uniondale fire
district, the board of supervisors of the county of Nassau may, upon the
recommendation of the county executive, expend county moneys and
construct on county-owned property located within the said fire
district, such buildings and facilities as may be required for the
preservation, protection and storage of fire apparatus and equipment and
such other purposes for which such buildings and facilities are
customarily utilized.
The board of supervisors of the county of Nassau, upon the
recommendation of the county executive, may, with or without
consideration, lease such land and the buildings and structures thereon
to the Uniondale fire district on such terms and conditions as the board
of supervisors of the county of Nassau may determine. The aforesaid
expenditure, construction and lease are hereby deemed to effectuate a
county purpose and a public purpose of the county of Nassau.
* 16. The board of supervisors of any county may appropriate such sums
of money as it deems proper toward the maintenance of a planned
parenthood association organized and operating to give family planning
services to persons residing in the county.
* NB There are 2 sub 16's
* 16. The board of supervisors of any county and the governing body of
a city in which any county is wholly contained may appropriate such sums
