the foregoing, the Village of Nyack Parking Authority may, by resolution,
set the days and times of enforcement for all parking in the Village
of Nyack on a temporary sixty-day trial basis, including both metered
and nonmetered parking, on both streets and lots. The Village Parking
Authority shall cause all appropriate signage reflecting the days
and times of enforcement of said temporary regulations as set by Parking

the providing of additional public parking in the Village. The funds
collected shall be deposited in the Village's general fund unless
the Board of Trustees, by resolution, authorizes the Parking Authority
of the Village of Nyack to be the recipient of part or all funds collected
from the Village's parking meters. This section is intended to supersede
any provision of the New York State Public Authorities Law which conflicts
with same, including but not limited to § 1622-h of the
