     1    Section 1.  Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of article  11  of
     2  the town law, commencing upon the effective date of a resolution adopted
     3  by the board of trustees of the village of Fonda, in the county of Mont-
     4  gomery,  pursuant  to  section 10-1020 of the village law abolishing the
     5  fire department in such village, the town board of the town  of  Mohawk,
     6  in  accordance with the procedures set forth in subdivision 2 of section
     7  170 of the town law, shall have the power to extend the Town  of  Mohawk
     8  Fire  District,  located  in the town of Mohawk to include and encompass
     9  the entire corporate limits of the village of Fonda in such town.

    10    § 2. Upon the completion by the town  of  Mohawk  of  the  proceedings
    11  authorized  by section one of this act, the Town of Mohawk Fire District
    12  in the town as extended  shall  be  a  fire  district  governed  by  the
    13  provisions  of article 11 of the town law, and the board of fire commis-
    14  sioners of such fire district shall have all of the  powers  and  duties
    15  vested  in  and imposed on boards of fire commissioners by article 11 of
    16  the town law, and shall be subject to all of the limitations, procedures
    17  and restrictions set forth in such article.
    18    § 3. On and after the completion  of  the  proceedings  authorized  by
    19  section  one  of  this  act, the district corporation established as the

    21  status and may continue to maintain apparatus, appliances and facilities

    22  within  the village of Fonda for the furnishing of fire protection. Such
 
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                   LBD11791-03-4
        A. 8305--A                          2
 
     1  continued presence in  the  village  of  Fonda  shall  not  render  such
     2  district  corporation  to  be  the  fire department of such village, nor
     3  shall it render such district corporation to be under the control of the
     4  village authorities.
     5    §  4.  The completion by the town of Mohawk of the proceedings author-
     6  ized by section one of this act shall be deemed to occur when  the  town
     7  adopts a resolution extending a fire district as required by subdivision

     8  2  of  section  170  of the town law; provided, however, that nothing in
     9  this act shall be construed as relieving the town of Mohawk from comply-
    10  ing with the provisions of subdivision 1 of section 173 of the town law.
    11    § 5. This act shall take effect immediately.
