§  1021-c.  North  Country  power authority service area; extension of   service area. 1. The service area of the North Country  power  authority   shall  include all the territory located within so much of the county of   Franklin as constitutes the Towns of Bombay, Fort Covington,  Moira  and   Westville,  and so much of the county of St. Lawrence as constitutes the   Towns of Brasher, Canton, Colton, DeKalb, Edwards,  Fowler,  Gouverneur,   Hermon,   Lisbon,  Louisville,  Madrid,  Norfolk,  Pierrepont,  Potsdam,   Russell, Stockholm, and Waddington and the Villages of Canton,  Norwood,   and  Potsdam  or  such  portions  thereof  as shall be determined by the   directors, but the service area  shall  exclude  the  portions  of  said   municipalities in Franklin and St. Lawrence counties which are served as   of  the  effective  date  of  this  title by another existing non-profit   municipal electric utility. The service area of the North Country  power   authority  shall  include such other territories, as shall be determined   by the directors, wholly within Franklin or  St.  Lawrence  county,  and   adjacent to one or more of the above-referenced municipalities, in which   rate payers rely on uninterrupted electric service from power facilities   of  the  authority  located  within  said  municipalities.  A map of the   service area shall be filed in the  offices  of  the  county  clerks  of   Franklin and St. Lawrence counties.2.  The  service  area  of  the  North  Country power authority may be   extended at any time to include additional territory within Franklin  or   St.  Lawrence counties by the directors in accordance with the following   procedure,  provided  however,  the procedure does not conflict with any   rule or regulation of the public service commission or  any  other  law.   Whenever  the directors determine that the territory included within the   service area should be extended, consistent with the provisions of  this   title,  the  directors shall adopt a resolution proposing the additional   territory,  wholly  within  Franklin  or  St.  Lawrence  county,  to  be   included,  which  may  be  all  the  territory  within one or more named   municipalities or, by  adequate  description,  a  portion  of  any  such   municipality or municipalities. The directors shall fix the dates, hours   and  places  for  three  public  hearings before such directors upon the   question  of  such  extension  and  cause  notice  thereof  and  of  the   additional  territory  to  be  included  within  the  service area to be   published in two newspapers of general circulation  in  the  county  not   less  than  twenty  nor more than thirty days before such date. At least   one of such hearing shall be held within  the  bounds  of  the  proposed   additional territory. At such time the directors shall hear all persons,   taxpayers  or  officials  who  may  wish  to  be heard and shall finally   determine the additional territory, if  any,  to  be  included  in  such   extension.  Such  determination  shall  be  made  by  resolution  of the   directors adopted by a two-thirds vote of all directors then in  office.   A  map of the service area, as extended, shall thereupon be filed in the   offices of the county clerks of Franklin and St. Lawrence counties.
