      paid to the state comptroller as agent of the authority and deposited in
      a  separate  bank  account  or  accounts  to be known as the "Ogdensburg
      bridge fund. " The moneys in such fund shall be available subject to the
      approval of the director of the budget of the  state  of  New  York  for
      payment  of  any  and all costs and expenditures as may be necessary for
      the corporate purposes of the authority. The moneys  of  the  Ogdensburg

      audit and warrant of the comptroller on vouchers approved solely by  the
      chairman of the authority or his properly designated officer.
        2.  All  moneys  in  such fund in excess of the sum of two hundred and
      fifty thousand dollars shall on the first day of each month be  paid  by
      the authority to the state comptroller provided, however, that effective
      June  thirty, nineteen hundred seventy-eight, the director of the budget
      and the authority shall establish within the  provisions  of  a  written
      agreement  between  the  authority  and  the  director providing for the
      repayment to the state by the authority of state  advances  the  maximum
      amount of moneys which the authority may retain in the Ogdensburg bridge
      fund. The comptroller is hereby authorized to receive from the authority
      such  amounts  as  shall  be  paid  to  the  comptroller pursuant to the
      provisions of this section and to credit all such amounts to the capital
      construction fund. Upon certification by the state comptroller that  all
      moneys  due  the  state have been paid in full, the remaining balance of
      such fund shall be available to such authority and may be used  by  such
      authority for any corporate purpose. The accounts of the authority shall
      be   subject   to  examination  by  the  state  comptroller.  The  state
      comptroller is hereby authorized and empowered to examine  the  accounts
      and  books  of  the  authority  at  such  periods of time as he may deem
      necessary, including its receipts, disbursements, contracts, leases  and
      any other matters relating to its financial standing.
        3.  Nothing  in this section shall prevent the authority and the state
      from entering into an agreement for the  establishment  of  a  revolving
      fund  to  be  used  to  pay  part of or all of the authority's operating
      expenses. This revolving fund shall  be  initially  funded  with  moneys
      advanced  from  the Ogdensburg bridge fund and shall be replenished from
      time to time  from  such  funds  upon  the  audit  and  warrant  of  the
      comptroller.
