In  connection  with the operation of any such facilities,   the authority may establish,  construct,  effectuate,  operate,  manage,   maintain,  renovate,  improve,  extend  or  repair  or  may  provide  by   contract,  lease   or   other   arrangement   for   the   establishment,   construction,    effectuation,   operation,   management,   maintenance,   renovation, improvement, extension or repair of any related services and   activities it deems necessary, convenient or desirable.3. The authority may establish, fix, revise, levy and collect or cause   to be established, fixed, revised, levied and collected and, in the case   of a joint service arrangement, join with others in  the  establishment,   fixing,  revision,  levy  and  collection of such fares, rentals, rates,   charges, landing and field use fees, concession fees and other  fees  as   it may deem necessary, convenient or desirable for the use and operation   of  any aviation facilities, and related services operated or managed by   the authority or under contract, pollution control facilities, lease  or   other  arrangement,  including  joint  service  arrangements,  with  the   authority. Such fares, rentals, rates, charges, landing  and  field  use   fees,  concession fees or other fees shall be at least sufficient at all   times in the judgment of the authority to  establish  and  maintain  the   combined  operations  of  the authority on a self-sustaining basis. Such   operations shall be deemed to be on a self-sustaining basis as  required   by  this title, when the authority is able to pay or fund or cause to be   paid or funded from revenues and any other funds actually  available  to   the authority (i) the principal of, premium, if any, and the interest on   the  outstanding bonds of the authority as the same shall become due and   payable and any capital or debt service reserve  therefor  and,  to  the   extent  required  by any agreement between the county and the authority,   the principal of and interest on any general obligation bonds, notes  or   other  evidence of indebtedness of the county issued for or allocable to   any project of the authority as the same shall become  due  and  payable   and  any reserves therefor, (ii) the cost of administering, maintaining,   repairing and operating any project of the authority, (iii) the cost  of   constructing  capital  improvements  thereto  pursuant  to any agreement   between the county and the authority, (iv) any liabilities incurred  for   or  allocable  to any project of the authority including any liabilities   of the county assumed by the authority pursuant to any agreement between   the county and the authority, as the same become due  and  payable,  (v)   any  requirements  of  any  agreement  including  those  relating to the   establishment  of  reserves  for  renewal  and   replacement   and   for   uncollected  fares,  rentals,  rates,  charges  and  fees  and covenants   respecting rates and debt service and earnings coverage ratios, (vi) all   other reasonable and necessary expenses of the authority, and (vii)  the   cost  of  such additional projects as may be now or hereafter authorized   by law and agreed to by the authority. 4. The authority may establish and,  in  the  case  of  joint  service   arrangements,  join  with  others in the establishment of such schedules   and standards  of  operations  and  such  other  rules  and  regulations   including  but  not  limited  to  rules  and  regulations  governing the   conduct,  safety  and  security  of the public as it may deem necessary,   convenient or desirable for the use, operation  and  management  of  any   project  and  related  services  operated or managed by the authority or   under contract, lease or  other  arrangement,  including  joint  service   arrangements,  with  the authority. Such rules and regulations governing   the conduct, safety and security of the public shall be filed  with  the   department of state in the manner provided by section one hundred two of   the  executive law. In the case of any conflict between any such rule or   regulation of the authority governing the conduct, safety  and  security   of  the  public  and  any local law, ordinance, rule or regulation, such   rule or regulation of the authority shall prevail.5. The authority may do all things it deems necessary,  convenient  or   desirable to manage, control and direct the maintenance and operation of   aviation   facilities,  equipment  or  property  operated  by  or  under   contract, lease or other  arrangement  with  the  authority.  Except  as   agreed to pursuant to any agreement between the authority and any public   corporation   and   except   as   hereinafter   specially  provided,  no   municipality except for the county, shall  have  jurisdiction  over  any   facilities  of the authority or any of its activities or operations. The   county shall  provide  for  such  facilities  police,  fire  and  health   protection services.6.  The authority may accept unconditional grants of money or property   from any municipality the whole or any part of which municipality  shall   be  served  or  to  be  served  by  an aviation facility operated by the   authority. Such grants of money or property would be for the purpose  of   assisting  the  authority  in meeting its capital or operating expenses.   The acceptance of any such grant shall not operate to make the authority   an agency of the municipality making the grant.7. In any instance where the county is required by law,  with  respect   to an airport or any aviation facilities, to conduct a public hearing in   connection  with  a  contract, lease, joint service arrangement, charge,   fare, rental or fee, the authority shall not enter into  such  contract,   lease,  joint service arrangement, or establish, fix, revise or levy any   charge, fare, rental, landing and field use fee, concession fee or other   fee unless and until the authority has held a public  hearing  at  which   interested  persons  have  had an opportunity to be heard concerning the   same, provided however, if the county has conducted a public hearing  in   connection with such contract, lease, joint service arrangement, charge,   fare,  rental  or  fee,  the  authority  shall not be required to hold a   public hearing. Notice of such public hearing shall be published by  the   authority  at  least  ten days before the date set therefor, in at least   one newspaper of general circulation in the county.  Such  notice  shall   set  forth  the date, time and place of such hearing and shall include a   brief description of the matters to be considered at  such  meeting.  At   all  such  hearings, any interested persons shall have an opportunity to   be heard concerning the matters under consideration. Any decision of the   authority on matters considered at  such  public  hearing  shall  be  in   writing  and be made available in the office of the authority for public   inspection during regular office hours.
