Section 1055. Moneys of the authority  


Latest version.
  • All moneys of the authority from
      whatever source derived shall be paid to the treasurer of the  authority
      and  shall be deposited forthwith in a bank or banks in the state of New
      York designated by the authority. The moneys in such accounts  shall  be
      paid out on check of the treasurer on requisition by the authority or of
      such other person or persons as the authority may authorize to make such
      requisitions.  All  deposits  of  such  moneys shall, if required by the
      comptroller or the authority, be secured by obligations  of  the  United
      States  or  of  the state of New York or of the county of a market value
      equal at all times to the amount of deposit  and  all  banks  and  trust
      companies  are  authorized  to give such security for such deposits. The
      comptroller  and  his  legally  authorized  representatives,   and   the
      comptroller of the county of Erie, if he so elect, are hereby authorized
      and empowered from time to time to examine the accounts and books of the
      authority,  including  its  receipts,  disbursements, contracts, leases,
      sinking funds,  investments  and  any  other  matters  relating  to  its
      financial  standing. The authority shall have power, notwithstanding the
      provisions of this section, to contract with the holders of any  of  its
      bonds as to the custody, collection, security, investment and payment of
      any  moneys  of  the authority, or any moneys held in trust or otherwise
      for the payment of bonds or in any way to secure bonds, and to carry out
      any such contract notwithstanding that such contract may be inconsistent
      with the provisions of this section. Moneys held in trust  or  otherwise
      for  the  payment of bonds or in any way to secure bonds and deposits of
      such moneys may  be  secured  in  the  same  manner  as  moneys  of  the
      authority, and all banks and trust companies are authorized to give such
      security for such deposits.
