Whenever a municipality is applying for federal assistance for park and recreation acquisition and development funds from the federal government, pursuant to the open space acquisition, open space development, urban beautification, neighborhood facilities, navigation, beach erosion control, land and water conservation, outdoor recreation research, or similar programs, and state or local law is not conclusive as to the definition of "local governing body" for such purposes, such authority to make applications shall be vested in that body of the municipality with authority to exercise all residual powers not otherwise allocated.
