Notwithstanding any general, special or local law,  any  county  or  its

for the removal of snow from the county roads of a county or for sanding
or otherwise treating them for the purpose of removing the danger of ice
and snow, subject to such terms and conditions as may be agreed upon  by
the  parties  involved  and to the approval by resolution of each of the
legislative bodies of such county, city, town or village, as follows:
  (a) By such city,  town  or  village  renting  its  highway  tools  or
equipment to the county for such purposes at such terms as may be agreed
upon;
  (b) By removal of snow from county roads by a city, town or village;

  A  county may in like manner contract with a city, town or village for
the erection of county owned snow fence along a county  road  upon  such

village   shall   be  placed  in  the  city  or  village  general  fund,
respectively, and may be used for any lawful  city  or  village  highway
purpose.
  Any  county shall annually appropriate and expend such sum as it deems
proper for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this section.
