Recognizing that general public benefits, in   terms of flood prevention, and  erosion  control,  will  accrue  to  the   people  of  the  state,  through  the  establishment  of small watershed   protection projects because such benefits will go beyond the  limits  of   watershed  districts and their parent counties; and recognizing that the   health, welfare, and prosperity of our people is enhanced by the  proper   management,  wise  use, and development of our soil and water resources;   it is hereby declared to be a proper state  purpose  for  the  state  to   provide  financial  reimbursement  to the counties for a part of certain   local costs  which  must  be  met  in  the  establishment  of  watershed   projects.2.   Such  reimbursement  shall  not  exceed  one-half  of  the  local   expenditure  for  the  land,  easements,  and  rights-of-way  which  are   necessary  and  required for the construction of flood prevention works,   not including  land  treatment  measures,  for  which  federal  aid  for   construction costs is granted pursuant to the said "Watershed Protection   and  Flood  Prevention  Act".

Application for such state reimbursement shall be made each year by  the   county  board  of  supervisors to the commissioner of conservation on or   before such date, and in such form and manner, as may be  prescribed  by   him.  After his determination that such requests and the amounts thereof   are proper and in compliance  with  this  article,  he  shall  submit  a   separate  request  for  each  project,  as  a  part of his annual budget   requests and estimates for the department of  conservation.  The  budget   item  for each project shall contain the name of the project, the county   or counties in which located, and  the  amount  of  state  reimbursement   requested therefor.3.

The amount so certified by the   commissioner, after audit by and on  the  warrant  of  the  comptroller,   shall  be  paid  to  the county treasurers of the respective counties to   which state reimbursement is due.4. The provisions of this section shall apply to projects,  for  which   reimbursement   made   subsequent   to  April  first,  nineteen  hundred   sixty-three, was limited to twenty thousand dollars, to  the  extent  of   the  difference  between  twenty  thousand  dollars and one-half of such   local expenditure.

NY Cty L § 300 (2021)
2021 New York Laws CNT - County Article 6 - Enhanced Emergency Telephone System Surcharge 300 - Legislative Findings and Declaration of Intent.

§ 300. Legislative findings and declaration of intent. The legislature   recognizes the paramount importance of the health, safety and welfare of   the  citizens of the state and further recognizes that when the lives or   property of  its  citizens  are  in  imminent  danger  that  timely  and   appropriate assistance must be rendered.The  legislature  recognizes  further  that  such assistance is almost   always summoned by  telephone  and  that  a  multiplicity  of  emergency   telephone  numbers  exist  within any one county and that unintentional,   though avoidable, delays in reaching appropriate emergency aid  can  and   do occur to the detriment and jeopardy of life and property.The  legislature  acknowledges  that the three digit number, 911, is a   nationally recognized and applied telephone number which may be used  to   summon  emergency  aid  and  to  eliminate  delays  caused  by  lack  of   familiarity with emergency numbers and by  understandable  confusion  in   circumstances of crisis.The  legislature  finds  that the enhanced emergency telephone service   known as E911 provides substantial benefits  beyond  basic  911  systems   through  the  provision  of  selective  routing and automatic number and   location  identification  and   that   these   enhancements   not   only   significantly  reduce  the  response time of emergency services but also   represent the state of the art in fail-safe emergency  telephone  system   technology.The   legislature   further   finds  that  a  major  obstacle  to  the   establishment of an E911 system in the various counties within the state   is the cost of the telecommunication equipment and  services  which  are   necessary to provide such system.The  legislature  further finds and declares that, by the enactment of   the provisions of this article, it is the intent of the  legislature  to   fulfill  its obligation to provide for the health, safety and welfare of   the people of this state by providing counties with a funding  mechanism   to  assist  in the payment of the costs associated with establishing and   maintaining  an  E911  system  and  thereby  considerably  increase  the   potential  for  providing  all  citizens of this state with the valuable   services inherent in an E911 system.

Any  such  local  law shall state the amount of the surcharge, the   date on which the service supplier shall begin to add such surcharge  to   the  billings  of its customers and, to the extent practicable, the date   on which such E911 service is to begin. Such local law may authorize the   service supplier to begin billing its customers for such surcharge prior   to the date the E911 system service is to begin.3. Any service supplier within a  municipality  which  has  imposed  a   surcharge  pursuant  to  the provisions of this article shall be given a   minimum of forty-five days written notice prior to  the  date  it  shall   begin to add such surcharge to the billings of its customers or prior to   any modification to or change in the surcharge amount.
