        AN ACT authorizing the town of East Hampton, county of Suffolk, upon the

          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-

     1    Section 1. Notwithstanding paragraph (d) of subdivision 12 of  section
     2  198  of the town law to the contrary, a resolution of the Town Board for
     3  the dissolution of the East Hampton wastewater disposal  district  ("the
     4  district")  shall  be  subject to permissive referendum and the proceeds
     5  from the dissolution of the district may be used  for  the  purposes  of
     6  paying  all  or  a  portion of the cost of one or more town-wide capital
     7  projects; provided however any such authorizations shall be the  subject
     8  of  a  public  hearing  held in the manner provided in subdivision 12 of
     9  section 198 of the town law. If the town board shall decide, after  such
    10  hearing  and  upon  the evidence given thereat, that it is in the public
    11  interest to dissolve the district and upon dissolution  to  deposit  any
    12  remaining  funds in one or more capital reserve funds in accordance with
    13  the general municipal law and use such funds for the purposes of  paying
    14  all  or a portion of the cost of one or more town-wide capital projects,
    15  the town board may adopt a resolution, subject to permissive referendum,
    16  to authorize such deposit.  The town board shall file  a  copy  of  said
    17  resolutions  in  the office of the county clerk and the state department
    18  of audit and control at Albany, New York.
    19    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
