§  279-a. Acquisition of real property for future districts in Suffolk  county. 1. In the county of Suffolk, upon the adoption of a  resolution,  the  county legislature may acquire, in the name of the county, any real  property or rights therein for use by a future district or districts, or  extensions thereof in such county.    2. Any such acquisition of real property or rights therein  as  herein  authorized  shall be for the purposes of one or more future districts or  extensions thereof which may be established and after the  establishment  thereof,  such real property shall be utilized for such purposes. In the  event, however, such district, districts or extensions are  not  created  or  the  property  becomes  unsuitable  or undesirable for such district  purposes, the property  may  be  used  for  other  county  purposes,  if  practicable  to do so, but if not, the property may be sold and disposed  of in the same manner as other county  property  no  longer  needed  for  county purposes.    3. The initial expense, if any, of any acquisition authorized pursuant  to  this section shall be a general county charge and shall be assessed,  levied and collected in the same manaer and at the same  time  as  other  county  charges,  provided,  however,  nothing herein contained shall be  construed to  prevent  financing  acquisition,  in  whole  or  in  part,  pursuant to the local finance law.    4.  When  the  county  authorizes  the  use  of any property or rights  therein acquired pursuant to this section and conveys the  same  to  any  district,  districts  or  extensions thereof thereafter established, the  expense, if any, of such acquisition or a proportionate  share  of  such  expense  and  the cost of maintenance, if any, shall be allocated to the  district or  extension  thereof  by  the  county  legislature  upon  the  establishment  of  such  district  or  extension. Such allocated amount,  together with the expense, if any, of the construction of  the  original  improvement  for such district or extension, shall be included as a part  of the original improvement and maximum amount authorized for and to  be  spent  by  such  district or extension. Upon conveyance to the district,  the district shall repay to the county the aforesaid allocated amount.
