§ 64-2. Declaration of policy.

It is hereby declared to be the public policy of the Town of North Hempstead that the public health, safety and welfare require adequate streetlighting and attachments for fire and police equipment on utility poles to avoid the unnecessary expense, environmental damage and hazards to travel which may be incurred by the installation of separate poles. In furtherance of such public policy, the Town of North Hempstead may acquire an interest in utility poles for the purpose of attaching municipal apparatus thereto pursuant to the power granted to the town by Article IX, § 1(e), of the Constitution of the State of New York and § 10(2) of the Statute of Local Governments.
