(b) Except as provided in paragraph (a) of this subdivision, the
agency and its corporate existence shall continue until terminated by
law, provided, however, that no such law shall take effect so long as
the agency shall have bonds or other obligations outstanding unless
adequate provision has been made for the payment or satisfaction
thereof. Upon termination of the existence of the agency, all of the
rights and properties of the agency then remaining shall pass to and
vest in the county.
5. In addition to any powers granted to it by law, the county
legislature from time to time may appropriate by resolution sums of
money to defray project costs or any other costs and expenses of the
agency, to be incurred prior to the first issuance of bonds. Subject to
the rights of bondholders, the county legislature may determine if the
moneys so appropriated shall be subject to repayment by the agency to
the county and, in such event, the manner and time or times for such
repayment.
6. The agency shall not be deemed a successor in interest to the
Onondaga county solid waste disposal authority for any purpose
whatsoever. In the event that the county acquires any property from such
authority and thereafter transfers such property to the agency, the
agency shall not by reason of receiving such property become obligated
for any indebtedness or liability of such authority. The agency, upon a
determination that it is in the public interest, may assume and pay any
compromised or settled claim against such authority which shall be
outstanding as of the date of the first issuance of bonds. Nothing in
this title shall be construed to require the agency to assume any
liability of such authority.
7. It is hereby determined and declared, that the agency and the
carrying out of its powers and duties are in all respects for the
benefit of the people of the county and the state of New York for the
improvement of their health, welfare and prosperity and that such
purposes are public purposes and that the agency is and will be
performing an essential governmental function in the exercise of the
powers conferred upon it by this title.
