§  99-h. Participation in federal programs. 1. As used in this section   the term "municipal  corporation"  shall  mean  a  county,  city,  town,   village,  school  district, or board of cooperative educational services   of this state or a  board  of  higher  education  in  a  city  having  a   population of one million or more.2.  Any municipal corporation shall have power, either individually or   jointly with one or more other municipal  corporations,  to  apply  for,   accept  and expend funds made available by the federal government either   directly or through the state, pursuant to the provisions of any federal   law, which is not inconsistent with the statutes or constitution of this   state, in order to administer, conduct or participate with  the  federal   government   in   programs  relating  to  the  general  welfare  of  the   inhabitants  of  such  municipal  corporation.     Any  such   municipal   corporation  is  authorized  to  appropriate and expend such sums as are   required to administer, conduct or participate in any such programs  and   may perform any and all acts necessary to effectuate the purposes of any   such programs.3.  Any municipal corporation, either individually or jointly with one   or more other municipal corporations, may  enter  into  agreements  with   private,  non-profit  agencies  which  are  authorized  to apply for and   accept funds made available by the federal government  pursuant  to  the   provisions  of  any  federal  law,  which  is  not inconsistent with the   statutes or constitution of this state, in order to administer,  conduct   or  participate  with the federal government in programs relating to the   general welfare of the inhabitants of such municipal  corporation.  Such   agreements  may provide that funds, services, or facilities will be made   available by any such municipal corporation or municipal corporations to   such private, non-profit agency upon such terms and conditions as may be   prescribed by such municipal corporation or municipal  corporations,  in   order  to defray that portion of the cost of any program administered by   any such private, non-profit agency which is not paid for by funds  made   available  by  the  federal  government. Such private, non-profit agency   shall file annually with each such municipal corporation with  which  it   has  entered  into such an agreement or at such more frequent periods as   may be required by such municipality, a financial report with respect to   such program or programs and shall  make  available  for  inspection  or   audit  by  each such municipal corporation, its books, records and other   data.No funds, services,  or  facilities  shall  be  made  available  by  a   municipal  corporation  to  a private, non-profit agency pursuant to the   provisions of this subdivision unless such agency has obtained  approval   of  its program as required by law, and its program is designed to serve   an area within the municipal corporation or municipal corporations  with   which it has entered into such an agreement.4.  The  provisions of this section shall be in addition to and not in   substitution for or in limitation of any other  authorization  to  apply   for,  accept  and  expend funds made available by the federal government   either directly or through the state, and it is  not  intended  by  this   section to repeal by implication any existing provision of law.
