A LOCAL LAW AUTHORIZING APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS TO THE WELLSVILLE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT BY ALLEGANY COUNTY
 
            BE IT ENACTED by the Board of Legislators of Allegany County, State of New York, as follows:
 
            SECTION 1.  Purpose and Intent.  Allegany County has received a request for financial support for the Wellsville Municipal Airport, located within Allegany County and situated in the Town of Wellsville.  The Wellsville Municipal Airport is solely maintained and operated by and for the Town of Wellsville.  The intent of this Local Law is to provide authorization for Allegany County to provide funding to the Town of Wellsville for said Airport without creating a joint airport between Allegany County and the Town of Wellsville.
           
            SECTION 2.  The Allegany County Board of Legislators is hereby authorized to appropriate moneys to the Wellsville Municipal Airport because of the beneficial impact upon industry and tourism in the County by said Airport.
 
            SECTION 3.  The appropriation of money may be made from such funds and in such amounts as the Allegany County Board of Legislators may designate by Resolution on an annual basis.
 
            SECTION 4.  No money may be appropriated unless the Town of Wellsville and the Wellsville Municipal Airport shall indemnify Allegany County and hold them harmless from any and all claims against the County arising out of the use or operation of said Wellsville Municipal Airport in consideration for the appropriation of said funds.
 
            SECTION 5.  This Local Law shall enable the Allegany County Board of Legislators to allocate such funds and monies as it may deem proper on an annual basis until such time as it is repealed.  There is no requirement, however, that due to the existence of this Local Law that money necessarily must be appropriated in any certain year.


            SECTION 6.  If any provision, clause, sentence, or paragraph of this Local Law or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall be held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the other provisions of this Local Law which can be given effect without the valid provision or application, and to this end the provisions of this Local Law are declared to be severable.
 

            SECTION 7.  This Local Law shall take effect upon filing with the Secretary of State.
 

            SECTION 8.   This Local Law shall remain in effect until January 1, 2024.
