The Village of Williamsville elects to adopt
the procedures established by Chapter 738 of the Laws of 1977, General
Municipal Law § 22 and Insurance Law § 33-a and
168-c, which authorize and empower a claim by the village against
the proceeds of a policy of fire insurance insuring the interest of
an owner and issued on real property located in the Village of Williamsville
to the extent of any lien by the village thereon.
Upon the written agreement of an insured to
restore the affected premises to the same or improved condition that
it was in prior to the time that the lien of the Village of Williamsville
arose against the proceeds of insurance, the Village Board may by
resolution release or return to the insured any amounts which the
village would be entitled to claim under the provisions of § 22
of the General Municipal Law, subject to such conditions as the resolution
may provide to guarantee the obligation of the insured to restore
the affected premises.
