§  2757.  Special  powers of the authority. In order to effectuate the
  purpose of this title:
1. The authority may enter into  any  joint  service  arrangements  as
  hereinafter provided.
2.  The  authority  may, on such terms and conditions as the authority
  may determine necessary, convenient or desirable, establish,  construct,
  effectuate,  operate,  manage,  maintain,  renovate,  improve, extend or
  repair any aviation facilities or pollution control facilities,  or  may
  provide  for  such establishment, construction, effectuation, operation,
  management, maintenance, renovation, improvement, extension or repair by
  contract, lease, or other arrangement on such terms as the authority may
  deem necessary, convenient or desirable with the federal government, any
  state or  agency  or  instrumentality  thereof,  any  person  or  public
  corporation.  In  connection  with the operation of any such facilities,
  the authority may establish,  construct,  effectuate,  operate,  manage,
  maintain,  renovate,  improve,  extend  or  repair  or  may  provide  by
  contract,  lease   or   other   arrangement   for   the   establishment,
  construction,    effectuation,   operation,   management,   maintenance,
  renovation, improvement, extension or repair of any related services and
  activities it deems necessary, convenient or desirable.
3. The authority may establish, fix, revise, levy and collect or cause
  to be established, fixed, revised, levied and collected and, in the case
  of a joint service arrangement, join with others in  the  establishment,
  fixing,  revision,  levy  and  collection of such fares, rentals, rates,
  charges, landing and field use fees, concession fees and other  fees  as
  it may deem necessary, convenient or desirable for the use and operation
  of  any aviation facilities, and related services operated or managed by
  the authority or under contract, pollution control facilities, lease  or
  other  arrangement,  including  joint  service  arrangements,  with  the
  authority. Such fares, rentals, rates, charges, landing  and  field  use
  fees,  concession fees or other fees shall be at least sufficient at all
  times in the judgment of the authority to  establish  and  maintain  the
  combined  operations  of  the authority on a self-sustaining basis. Such
  operations shall be deemed to be on a self-sustaining basis as  required
  by  this title, when the authority is able to pay or fund or cause to be
  paid or funded from revenues and any other funds actually  available  to
  the authority (i) the principal of, premium, if any, and the interest on
  the  outstanding bonds of the authority as the same shall become due and
  payable and any capital or debt service reserve  therefor  and,  to  the
  extent  required  by any agreement between the county and the authority,
  the principal of and interest on any general obligation bonds, notes  or
  other  evidence of indebtedness of the county issued for or allocable to
  any project of the authority as the same shall become  due  and  payable
  and  any reserves therefor, (ii) the cost of administering, maintaining,
  repairing and operating any project of the authority, (iii) the cost  of
  constructing  capital  improvements  thereto  pursuant  to any agreement
  between the county and the authority, (iv) any liabilities incurred  for
  or  allocable  to any project of the authority including any liabilities
  of the county assumed by the authority pursuant to any agreement between
  the county and the authority, as the same become due  and  payable,  (v)
  any  requirements  of  any  agreement  including  those  relating to the
  establishment  of  reserves  for  renewal  and   replacement   and   for
  uncollected  fares,  rentals,  rates,  charges  and  fees  and covenants
  respecting rates and debt service and earnings coverage ratios, (vi) all
  other reasonable and necessary expenses of the authority, and (vii)  the
  cost  of  such additional projects as may be now or hereafter authorized
  by law and agreed to by the authority.
4. The authority may establish and,  in  the  case  of  joint  service
  arrangements,  join  with  others in the establishment of such schedules
  and standards  of  operations  and  such  other  rules  and  regulations
  including  but  not  limited  to  rules  and  regulations  governing the
  conduct,  safety  and  security  of the public as it may deem necessary,
  convenient or desirable for the use, operation  and  management  of  any
  project  and  related  services  operated or managed by the authority or
  under contract, lease or  other  arrangement,  including  joint  service
  arrangements,  with  the authority. Such rules and regulations governing
  the conduct, safety and security of the public shall be filed  with  the
  department of state in the manner provided by section one hundred two of
  the  executive law. In the case of any conflict between any such rule or
  regulation of the authority governing the conduct, safety  and  security
  of  the  public  and  any local law, ordinance, rule or regulation, such
  rule or regulation of the authority shall prevail.
5. The authority may do all things it deems necessary,  convenient  or
  desirable to manage, control and direct the maintenance and operation of
  aviation   facilities,  equipment  or  property  operated  by  or  under
  contract, lease or other  arrangement  with  the  authority.  Except  as
  agreed to pursuant to any agreement between the authority and any public
  corporation   and   except   as   hereinafter   specially  provided,  no
  municipality except for the county, shall  have  jurisdiction  over  any
  facilities  of the authority or any of its activities or operations. The
  county shall  provide  for  such  facilities  police,  fire  and  health
  protection services.
6.  The authority may accept unconditional grants of money or property
  from any municipality the whole or any part of which municipality  shall
  be  served  or  to  be  served  by  an aviation facility operated by the
  authority. Such grants of money or property would be for the purpose  of
  assisting  the  authority  in meeting its capital or operating expenses.
  The acceptance of any such grant shall not operate to make the authority
  an agency of the municipality making the grant.
7. In any instance where the county is required by law,  with  respect
  to an airport or any aviation facilities, to conduct a public hearing in
  connection  with  a  contract, lease, joint service arrangement, charge,
  fare, rental or fee, the authority shall not enter into  such  contract,
  lease,  joint service arrangement, or establish, fix, revise or levy any
  charge, fare, rental, landing and field use fee, concession fee or other
  fee unless and until the authority has held a public  hearing  at  which
  interested  persons  have  had an opportunity to be heard concerning the
  same, provided however, if the county has conducted a public hearing  in
  connection with such contract, lease, joint service arrangement, charge,
  fare,  rental  or  fee,  the  authority  shall not be required to hold a
  public hearing. Notice of such public hearing shall be published by  the
  authority  at  least  ten days before the date set therefor, in at least
  one newspaper of general circulation in the county.  Such  notice  shall
  set  forth  the date, time and place of such hearing and shall include a
  brief description of the matters to be considered at  such  meeting.  At
  all  such  hearings, any interested persons shall have an opportunity to
  be heard concerning the matters under consideration. Any decision of the
  authority on matters considered at  such  public  hearing  shall  be  in
  writing  and be made available in the office of the authority for public
  inspection during regular office hours.
