police power; lease; conditions.
Any city of the second class and owning land, including any land, part
or all of which is used in connection with any municipal utility, inside or
outside its corporate limits, may develop and use part or all of such land
for park and recreational purposes and incidental uses and hereby is
granted the same police power over said territory as though it were within
the corporate limits of said city. Such city may lease portions of such
land at sufferance, at will or for years for private camping or cabin sites
and incidental uses, and for a golf course or courses, and club houses and
facilities used in connection therewith; and such leasehold, but not the
city's reversionary interest, shall be subject to taxation: Provided,
That every such lease shall provide that the lessee shall at its own
expense, construct and install all of the facilities and improvements to be
occupied and used by it under such lease, upon such terms, conditions and
control as the governing body of the city may require. Operations under
this act shall be deemed to be within such city's governmental capacity and
liability.
