§  2799-uuu.  Agreements  relating  to payment in lieu of taxes. 1. In
order to assure that municipalities may not suffer undue  loss  payments
in  lieu  of  taxes,  the  city  has entered into payment in lieu of tax
agreements with the East Syracuse Minoa  central  school  district,  the
town  of  Dewitt,  the  town of Salina, the town of Cicero and the North
Syracuse central school district. The authority is obligated to continue
to make any PILOT payments as set forth in these PILOT agreements.
2. Subject to any agreement with bondholders, the authority  may,  but
is not required to, increase the amount of the payments in lieu of taxes
to  any such municipality in respect of any real property which is owned
or leased by the authority, is located in such municipality, and is used
for the airport, aviation facilities, pollution control facilities,  and
other  facilities  used  for  public  aviation  purposes  or for airport
development or to support or in connection with  the  airport,  aviation
facilities  or  pollution  control  facilities. For the purposes of this
section, such public aviation purposes shall include without  limitation
air  terminal  facilities, aviation facilities, parking facilities, fuel
facilities, maintenance facilities,  and  facilities  for  the  loading,
unloading,  holding,  interchange  or  transfer  of passengers, freight,
baggage or cargo.
3. (a) In the event that any real property acquired by  the  authority
subsequent to the effective date of this act is used or is to be used by
the authority, or a lessee thereof, for purposes other than the airport,
aviation  facilities, pollution control facilities, and other facilities
used for public aviation purposes  or  for  airport  development  or  to
support  or  in  connection  with  the  airport, aviation facilities, or
pollution control facilities, the authority, or a lessee thereof, as the
case may be, shall enter into agreements with any  municipality  of  the
state  to  pay  annual  sums  in  lieu  of taxes in respect of such real
property located in such municipality. For the purposes of this section,
such purposes other than the  airport,  aviation  facilities,  pollution
control  facilities,  and  other  facilities  used  for  public aviation
purposes or for airport development or to support or in connection  with
the airport, aviation facilities, or pollution control facilities, shall
include  without  limitation  hotels, motels, restaurants, retail stores
and concessions that are not located within any air  terminal  building,
office  buildings  to  the extent not used by the authority or any other
public corporation for  its  own  corporate  purposes,  and  such  other
buildings  and  improvements  as  determined  by the authority to be not
exclusively for the  airport,  aviation  facilities,  pollution  control
facilities,  and  other  facilities  used  for  aviation purposes or for
airport development or to support or in  connection  with  the  airport,
aviation facilities, or pollution control facilities.
(b)  The  authority  shall  determine:  (i)  the amount of such annual
payments in lieu of taxes, (ii) whether the use of such property is  for
purposes  other  than  public  aviation purposes and (iii) the extent to
which such property is used for  purposes  other  than  public  aviation
purposes.
