     5  authorized  and empowered to adopt, amend or repeal local laws to impose

    21  wireless  communications  service customers by a wireless communications
    22  service supplier on and  after  the  expiration  of  the  notice  period
    23  required  pursuant  to  the  provisions of subdivision 2 of such section
    24  308-a of the county law;  provided  further,  that  a  wireless  service
