1. Not less than one hundred twenty days before the beginning of each fiscal year of the corporation (but not later than July 1, 1975 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1976), the chairman of the board of directors of the corporation shall certify to the state comptroller and to the mayor a schedule setting forth the cash requirements of the corporation for such fiscal year and the time or times when such cash is required. The total amount so certified by such chairman for such fiscal year shall be equal to: (i) the amounts which are required to be deposited in the capital reserve fund authorized to be created and established pursuant to subdivision three of this section during such fiscal year in order to maintain such capital reserve fund of the corporation at the level required in accordance with subdivision five of this section; (ii) the amounts required to be deposited in the debt service fund of the corporation to pay all interest and all payments of principal and redemption premium, if any, on notes and bonds secured by such debt service fund maturing or otherwise coming due during such fiscal year; and (iii) the amounts required to be deposited in the operating fund of the corporation, as determined by the corporation, to meet the operating requirements and other expenses of the corporation during such fiscal year. If any increase shall occur in the cash requirements specified above, or if payments are required at a time or times earlier than previously certified or if the city shall for any reason fail to make timely payment of the principal and accrued interest due on any obligation issued by the city to the corporation and maturing within the same fiscal year, such chairman shall certify a revised schedule of cash requirements for such fiscal year to the state comptroller and to the mayor. The schedule accompanying each certification (or revision thereof) shall provide for such payment dates as the corporation deems appropriate to assure that sufficient funds will be available from the sources identified below to enable it to meet its current obligations as they come due. Upon receipt of such certification, or any revision thereof, the state comptroller shall pay such amount to the corporation for deposit in the appropriate funds, in accordance with such certification from the special account established for the corporation in the municipal assistance tax fund, in accordance with subdivision one of section ninety-two-d of the state finance law, including any amount transferred to the municipal assistance tax fund from the stock transfer tax fund pursuant to subdivision four of section 92-b of the state finance law. Any such payment shall be made within thirty days of receipt of the certification or at the time specified in the certification, whichever is later; provided that any such amounts shall have been first appropriated by the state for such purpose or shall have been otherwise made available. Any amount so paid to the corporation shall be deducted from the amount otherwise payable to the city from the municipal assistance tax fund established by section ninety-two-d of the state finance law and shall not obligate the state to make, nor entitle the city to receive, any additional payments. 2. Notwithstanding subdivision one of this section, prior to any transfers from the stock transfer tax fund to the municipal assistance tax fund, moneys, if any, payable to any other public benefit corporation from such fund pursuant to the provision of any law, the effective date of which is prior to the effective date of this title, shall be paid in full to such other corporation. 3. The corporation shall create and establish a special fund (herein referred to as capital reserve fund), and shall pay into such capital reserve fund (i) any moneys appropriated and made available by the state for the purposes of such fund, (ii) any proceeds of sale of notes or bonds, to the extent provided in the resolution of the corporation authorizing the issuance thereof, and (iii) any other moneys which may be made available to the corporation for the purpose of such fund from any other source or sources. All moneys held in the capital reserve fund, except as hereinafter provided, shall be used solely for the payment of the principal of bonds secured by such capital reserve fund of the corporation, as the same mature or otherwise become due, the purchase of such bonds of the corporation, the payment of interest of such bonds of the corporation or the payment of any redemption premium required to be paid when such bonds are redeemed prior to maturity. If the amount contained in the capital reserve fund exceeds the amount required to be contained in such fund pursuant to this subdivision three of this section plus any additional amounts required to be contained in such fund pursuant to the terms of issuance of any bonds or notes, such excess moneys may be withdrawn from the capital reserve fund by the corporation; provided, however, that moneys in such fund shall not be withdrawn therefrom at any time in such amounts as would reduce the amount of such fund to less than the amount of principal and interest maturing or otherwise becoming due in the succeeding calendar year on all bonds of the corporation secured by such capital reserve fund then outstanding, except for the purpose of paying principal of and interest on such bonds of the corporation maturing or otherwise due or becoming due and for the payment of which other moneys of the corporation are not available. Any income or interest earned by, or increment to, the capital reserve fund due to the investment thereof may be transferred by the corporation to any other fund of the corporation to the extent it does not reduce the amount of the capital reserve fund below the amount of principal and interest maturing or otherwise due or becoming due in the succeeding calendar year on all bonds of the corporation secured by such capital reserve fund then outstanding. 4. In order further to assure the maintenance of the capital reserve fund, there shall be annually appropriated and paid to the corporation for deposit in the capital reserve fund such sum, if any, as shall be certified by the chairman to the governor and director of the budget as necessary to restore the capital reserve fund to an amount equal to the capital reserve fund requirement. The chairman of the board of directors of the corporation shall, annually, on or before December first, make and deliver to the governor and director of the budget his certificate stating the sum, if any, required to restore the capital reserve fund to the amount aforesaid; and the sum or sums so certified, if any, shall be appropriated and paid to the corporation during the then current state fiscal year. 5. The corporation shall not issue bonds at any time if the amount of principal and interest maturing or otherwise due or becoming due in the succeeding calendar year on such bonds then to be issued and on all other bonds of the corporation secured by such capital reserve fund then outstanding will exceed the amount of the capital reserve fund requirement with respect to such capital reserve fund at the time of issuance, unless the corporation, at the time of such issuance, shall deposit in the capital reserve fund from the proceeds of the bonds so to be issued, or otherwise, an amount which, together with the amount then in such fund, will be not less than the amount of principal and interest maturing or otherwise due or becoming due in the succeeding calendar year on such bonds then to be issued and on all other bonds of the corporation secured by such capital reserve fund then outstanding (such amount is herein sometimes referred to as the capital reserve fund requirement). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subdivision for each of the calendar years set forth below the capital reserve fund requirement, as of any date of calculation, shall equal the percentage set forth opposite such calendar year of the amount of principal and interest maturing or otherwise due or becoming due during such calendar year on all bonds of the corporation secured by such capital reserve fund outstanding on such date: Calendar Year Percentage _____________ __________ 1975 0% 1976 0% 1977 25% 1978 50% 1979 75% 1980 100% 6. In computing the amount of the capital reserve fund for the purposes of this section securities in which all or a portion of such fund shall be invested shall be valued at par or if purchased at other than par, at amortized value. 7. The corporation shall create a debt service fund and an operating fund and may create and establish such other fund or funds as may be necessary or desirable for its corporate purposes. 8. The fiscal year of the corporation shall be the same as the fiscal year of the city. * NB The corporation shall continue for a term ending the later of July 1, 2008 or one year after its liabilities have been fully paid and discharged per § 3033 sub 1.
