§ 9. Lease or loan of state property; temporary transfer of personnel.
Notwithstanding  any inconsistent provisions of law, general, special or
local
1. (a) The governor, from time to time, whenever he deems it to be  in
the public interest, may authorize any department or agency of the state
to  lease or lend to the army, navy or any branch of the armed forces of
the United States, any real or personal property of the state,  on  such
terms  and  conditions  as  he  may deem necessary to promote the public
welfare and protect the interests of the state, making an  adequate  and
appropriate provision to reimburse the state for any cost of maintenance
and operation and for depreciation and waste. He may also authorize such
department  or agency to lease or lend such property to any other agency
of the United States of America performing functions occasioned  by  the
war  or  defense  effort,  or  to  any  other organization subsidized or
authorized directly or indirectly by the United  States  of  America  to
perform work or render services occasioned by the war or defense effort,
provided, however, that such lease or loan of property shall be on terms
and  conditions  which fully compensate the state for its loss or use of
such property. Such compensation shall,  in  addition  to  the  cost  of
maintenance  and operation, include, but not be limited to, depreciation
and waste  or  debt  service  incidental  thereto.  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing  provisions,  however,  the  division  of  military  and naval
affairs of the executive department may be authorized pursuant  to  this
section  to  lease  or  lend armories or other real or personal property
under its jurisdiction to the army, navy or  any  other  branch  of  the
armed  forces  of  the  United  States  of America for military purposes
without provision for reimbursement to the state  for  depreciation  and
waste  or debt service.  Any renewal of an agreement or lease heretofore
made pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (a) of subdivision  one  of
section  thirty-six  of  the  New York state war emergency act or to the
provisions of chapter two hundred seventy-seven of the laws of  nineteen
hundred  forty-two  prior to the repeal of such provisions shall be made
in compliance with this paragraph.
(b) The governor, from time to time, whenever he deems it to be in the
public interest, is hereby authorized to enter into a contract on behalf
of the state for the lease or loan, on such terms and conditions  as  he
may  deem  necessary  to  promote  the  public  welfare  and protect the
interests of the state, of any real or personal property of  the  state,
or the temporary transfer or employment of personnel of the state to any
municipal subdivision or other public corporation of the state.
2.  (a)  The  chief executive of any such municipal subdivision or the
board, commission or other head  of  any  other  public  corporation  is
hereby authorized to enter into a contract and to execute any such lease
or  to  accept  any  such  loan  or  to  employ such personnel, and such
municipal subdivision or other public corporation is further  authorized
to  equip, maintain, utilize and operate any such property and to employ
necessary personnel therefor in accordance with the purposes  for  which
such contract is executed.
(b)  The  chief  executive  of  any  such municipal subdivision or the
board, commission or other head of  such  other  public  corporation  is
empowered  to  do all things and perform any and all acts which he or it
may deem necessary to effectuate the purposes for  which  such  contract
was entered into.
