Section 1598-G. Moneys of the authority  


Latest version.
  • All moneys of the authority shall
      be paid to the commissioner of finance of  the  city  as  agent  of  the
      authority,  who  shall  not commingle such moneys with any other moneys.
      Such moneys shall be deposited in a separate bank account  or  accounts.
      The  moneys  in  such  accounts shall be paid out by the commissioner of
      finance of the city on requisition of the chairman of the  authority  or
      of  such  other person or persons as the authority may authorize to make
      such requisitions after audit by the  commissioner  of  finance  of  the
      city. All deposits of such moneys shall, if required by the commissioner
      of  finance  of  the city or the authority, be secured by obligations of
      the United States or of the state of New York of a market value equal at
      all times to the  amount  of  the  deposit,  and  all  banks  and  trust
      companies  are  authorized  to give such security for such deposits. The
      commissioner  of  finance  of  the  city  and  his  legally   authorized
      representatives  are  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  records  and  papers  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, securing, 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
      previous  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  acquired  in  the  same  manner  as moneys of the
      authority, and all banks and trust companies are authorized to give such
      security for such deposits.
        The accounts of the authority shall be subject to the  supervision  of
      the state comptroller.
