§  251.  Agreements  between  municipal  corporations.  1. Two or more
  municipal corporations may by agreement provide  for  discharge  by  the
  police  department  of one of them, on behalf of the other or others, of
  the duties provided in subdivisions three, four, five,  six,  seven  and
  eight  of  section  two hundred fifty-three of the personal property law
  and in sections two hundred fifty-four, two hundred fifty-five  and  two
  hundred  fifty-six  of such law, with respect to property or instruments
  deposited with  the  police  of  such  other  municipal  corporation  or
  corporations  and may designate a police officer or other public officer
  of one of such  municipal  corporations  as  the  person  to  whom  such
  property and instruments shall be transmitted as provided in subdivision
  two  of  such  section  two  hundred  fifty-three.   If pursuant to such
  agreement property  or  instruments  deposited  with  the  police  of  a
  municipal  corporation are transmitted, together with the reports of the
  persons who deposited them, to a police officer  or  other  official  of
  another  municipal corporation, the police of that municipal corporation
  shall, with respect to such property or instrument, be deemed the police
  with whom the property or instrument was deposited and the police having
  custody of the property or instrument for the purposes  of  subdivisions
  three,  four,  five,  six,  seven,  and  eight  of  section  two hundred
  fifty-three of the  personal  property  law  and  for  the  purposes  of
  sections  two  hundred  fifty-four,  two hundred fifty-five, two hundred
  fifty-six, and two hundred fifty-eight of such law.
2. Such agreement may  also  provide  for  payment  to  the  municipal
  corporation  by  whom such duties are to be discharged, by the municipal
  corporation on whose behalf they are so discharged, of  such  amount  or
  amounts  as may be agreed in reimbursement of or otherwise on account of
  expense incurred in the discharge of such duties.
3. Such agreement may  also  provide  that  the  police  of  municipal
  corporations on whose behalf such duties are to be discharged shall make
  and  keep  records  of  reports and deposits of found property and found
  instruments, and of receipts given therefor, in such manner and  by  use
  of  such  forms  as  shall  be  specified by the police of the municipal
  corporation to whose police the  property  and  instruments  are  to  be
  transmitted.
4.  If  incorporated  in  a  resolution  of  the  governing board of a
  municipal corporation on whose behalf such duties are to be  discharged,
  such  agreement  may  also  provide  that  rules and regulations enacted
  pursuant to section two hundred fifty of this chapter by  the  governing
  board of the municipal corporation by whose police such duties are to be
  performed  shall  be  applicable to property or instruments found, or of
  which possession is acquired, within the jurisdiction of  the  municipal
  corporation  on  whose  behalf  such  duties  are  to  be  performed.  A
  resolution of a municipal corporation on behalf of whom such duties  are
  to  be  performed,  incorporating  an  agreement  so providing, shall be
  deemed an enactment of the rules and regulations so made  applicable  as
  rules  and regulations of the municipal corporation on whose behalf such
  duties are to be performed.
