Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) A city or government, upon such
terms and for such consideration as it may determine, may grant, sell, convey, or lease any of its
property to an authority or the federal government, or render the usual municipal services, or
provide and maintain parks or other facilities adjacent to or in connection with a project. A city
may enter into an agreement with an authority or the federal government to open, close, pave, or
change the grade of streets, roads, roadways, alleys, or other places, to install sidewalks, to
change the city map, and to plan, replan, zone, or rezone any section of the city. In connection
with this power, a city is empowered to incur the entire expense, subject to such reimbursement
as it shall determine, of street improvements without assessment against abutting property
owners. Any statute, charter, local law, or ordinance to the contrary notwithstanding, any gift,
grant, sale, conveyance, or lease may be made by a city or government to an authority or the
federal government without appraisal, public notice, advertisement, or public bidding for such
price and, in the case of a lease, for such rental or term as may be deemed advisable.
(2) In connection with any housing project located wholly or partly within the area in
which it is authorized to act, any city may contract with a housing authority or the federal
government with respect to the sum, if any, which the housing authority or the federal
government may agree to pay during any year or period of years to the city for the
improvements, services, and facilities to be furnished by it for the benefit of said housing
project, but in no event shall the amount of such payments exceed the estimated cost to the city
of the improvements, services, or facilities to be so furnished; except that the absence of a
contract for such payments shall in no way relieve any city from the duty to furnish, for the
benefit of said housing project, all such services and facilities as such city usually furnishes
without a service fee.
(3) With respect to any housing project which a housing authority has acquired or taken
over from the federal government and which the housing authority by resolution has found and
declared to have been constructed in a manner that will promote the public interest and afford
necessary safety, sanitation, and other protection, no city shall require any changes to be made in
the housing project or the manner of its construction or take any other action relating to such
construction.
(4) For the purpose of aiding and cooperating in the planning, construction, or operation
of housing projects located wholly or partly within the area in which it is authorized to act, a city
or government may, upon such terms as it may determine, do any and all things necessary or
convenient and may enter into agreements, which may extend over any period, notwithstanding
any provision of law to the contrary, with a housing authority or government respecting action to
be taken pursuant to any of the powers granted by this article.
