(1) A city or government, upon such terms and for such consideration as it may determine, may grant, sell, convey, or lease any of its property to an authority or the federal government, or render the usual municipal services, or provide and maintain parks or other facilities adjacent to or in connection with a project. A city may enter into an agreement with an authority or the federal government to open, close, pave, or change the grade of streets, roads, roadways, alleys, or other places, to install sidewalks, to change the city map, and to plan, replan, zone, or rezone any section of the city. In connection with this power, a city is empowered to incur the entire expense, subject to such reimbursement as it shall determine, of street improvements without assessment against abutting property owners. Any statute, charter, local law, or ordinance to the contrary notwithstanding, any gift, grant, sale, conveyance, or lease may be made by a city or government to an authority or the federal government without appraisal, public notice, advertisement, or public bidding for such price and, in the case of a lease, for such rental or term as may be deemed advisable.
In connection with any housing project located wholly or partly within the area inwhich it is authorized to act, any city may contract with a housing authority or the federal government with respect to the sum, if any, which the housing authority or the federal government may agree to pay during any year or period of years to the city for the improvements, services, and facilities to be furnished by it for the benefit of said housing project, but in no event shall the amount of such payments exceed the estimated cost to the city of the improvements, services, or facilities to be so furnished; except that the absence of a contract for such payments shall in no way relieve any city from the duty to furnish, for the benefit of said housing project, all such services and facilities as such city usually furnishes without a service fee.
With respect to any housing project which a housing authority has acquired or takenover from the federal government and which the housing authority by resolution has found and declared to have been constructed in a manner that will promote the public interest and afford necessary safety, sanitation, and other protection, no city shall require any changes to be made in the housing project or the manner of its construction or take any other action relating to such construction.
For the purpose of aiding and cooperating in the planning, construction, or operationof housing projects located wholly or partly within the area in which it is authorized to act, a city or government may, upon such terms as it may determine, do any and all things necessary or convenient and may enter into agreements, which may extend over any period, notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, with a housing authority or government respecting action to be taken pursuant to any of the powers granted by this article.
