Latest version.
  • (a) The authority shall have the
      power and is hereby authorized from time to time to issue its negotiable
      bonds in conformity with applicable provisions of the uniform commercial
      code   for   any   purpose   mentioned   in   section   fifteen  hundred
      ninety-nine-ddd  hereof,  including   the   acquisition,   construction,
      reconstruction  and  repair  of  personal and real property of all kinds
      deemed by the board to be necessary  or  desirable  to  carry  out  such
      purposes,  as well as to pay such expenses as may be deemed by the board
      necessary or desirable to the financing thereof and placing the  project
      or  projects  in  operation  in  the  aggregate  principal amount of not
      exceeding twenty-five per cent of  the  bonded  indebtedness  limitation
      from  time  to  time  imposed by section 104.00 of the local finance law
      upon bonded indebtedness of the village outstanding at any one time. The
      authority shall have power from time  to  time  and  whenever  it  deems
      refunding  expedient,  to refund any bonds by the issuance of new bonds,
      whether the bonds to be refunded have or have not matured, and may issue
      bonds partly to refund bonds then outstanding and partly for  any  other
      purpose  hereinabove described. The refunding bonds may be exchanged for
      the bonds to be refunded, with such cash adjustments as may  be  agreed,
      or  may  be  sold and the proceeds applied to the purchase or payment of
      the bonds to be refunded. In computing the total amount of bonds of  the
      authority  which  may  at  any  time  be  outstanding  the amount of the
      outstanding bonds to be refunded from the proceeds of the  sale  of  new
      bonds  or  by  exchange  for  new bonds shall be excluded. Except as may
      otherwise be provided by the authority, the bonds of every  issue  shall
      be  general  obligations  of  the authority payable out of any moneys or
      revenues of the authority, subject  only  to  any  agreements  with  the
      holders of particular bonds pledging any particular moneys or revenues.
        (b) The bonds shall be authorized by resolution of the board and shall
      bear  such  date  or  dates, mature at such time or times, not exceeding
      thirty years from their respective dates, bear interest at such rate  or
      rates,  not  exceeding  six  per  centum  per  annum payable annually or
      semiannually, be in such denominations, be in such form,  either  coupon
      or  registered,  carry such registration privileges, be executed in such
      manner, be payable in lawful money of the United States  of  America  at
      such place or places and be subject to such terms of redemption, as such
      resolution  or  resolutions may provide. The bonds may be sold at public
      or private sale  for  such  price  or  prices  as  the  authority  shall
      determine,  but which shall not at the time of sale yield more than five
      per centum per annum.
        (c) Any resolution or resolutions authorizing any bonds or  any  issue
      of  bonds  may contain provisions, which shall be a part of the contract
      with the holders of the bonds thereby authorized, as to
        (1) pledging all or any part of the revenues of a project or  projects
      to  secure  the  payment  of  the bonds, subject to such agreements with
      bondholders as may then exist;
        (2) the rentals, fees and other charges to be charged, and the amounts
      to be raised in each year thereby, and the use and  disposition  of  the
      revenues;
        (3) the setting aside of reserves or sinking funds, and the regulation
      and disposition thereof;
        (4) limitations on the right of the authority to restrict and regulate
      the use of a project;
        (5)  limitations  on  the purpose to which the proceeds of sale of any
      issue of bonds then or thereafter  to  be  issued  may  be  applied  and
      pledging  such  proceeds  to  secure  the payment of the bonds or of any
      issue of the bonds;
    
        (6) limitations on the issuance of additional bonds;  the  terms  upon
      which  additional  bonds  may  be  issued  and secured; the refunding of
      outstanding or other bonds;
        (7)  the  procedure,  if  any, by which the terms of any contract with
      bondholders may be amended or abrogated, the amount of bonds the holders
      of which must consent thereto, and the manner in which such consent  may
      be given;
        (8)  limitations  on the amount of moneys derived from a project to be
      expended  for  operating,  administrative  or  other  expenses  of   the
      authority;
        (9) vesting in a trustee or trustees such property, rights, powers and
      duties  in trust as the authority may determine which may include any or
      all the rights, powers and duties  of  the  trustees  appointed  by  the
      bondholders  pursuant to section fifteen hundred ninety-nine-ppp hereof,
      and limiting or abrogating the right of the  bondholders  to  appoint  a
      trustee  under said section or limiting the rights, duties and powers of
      such trustee;
        (10) any other matters, of like or different character, which  in  any
      way affect the security or protection of the bonds.
        (d)  It  is  the intention hereof that any pledge of revenues or other
      moneys made by the authority shall be valid and binding  from  the  time
      when  the  pledge  is made; that the revenues or other moneys so pledged
      and thereafter received by the authority shall immediately be subject to
      the lien of such pledge without any physical delivery thereof or further
      act; and that the lien of any such pledge shall be valid and binding  as
      against  all  parties  having  claims,  of any kind in tort, contract or
      otherwise against the authority irrespective  of  whether  such  parties
      have  notice thereof. Neither the resolution nor any other instrument by
      which a pledge is created need be recorded.
        (e) Neither the members of the authority nor any person executing  the
      bonds  shall  be  liable  personally  on  the bonds or be subject to any
      personal liability or accountability by reason of the issuance thereof.
        (f) The authority shall have power out of any funds available therefor
      to purchase bonds. The authority may hold, cancel or resell such  bonds,
      subject to and in accordance with agreements with bondholders.
        (g)  In the discretion of the authority, the bonds may be secured by a
      trust indenture by and between the authority and  a  corporate  trustee,
      which  may  be  any  trust  company or bank having the powers of a trust
      company in the state of New York. Such trust indenture may contain  such
      provisions  for  protecting and enforcing the rights and remedies of the
      bondholders as may be reasonable and proper and not in violation of law,
      including covenants  setting  forth  the  duties  of  the  authority  in
      relation   to  the  construction,  maintenance,  operation,  repair  and
      insurance of the project or projects and the custody,  safeguarding  and
      application  of all moneys, and may provide that the project or projects
      shall be constructed and paid for under the supervision and approval  of
      consulting  engineers. Notwithstanding the provisions of section fifteen
      hundred ninety-nine-hhh of this title the authority may provide by  such
      trust  indenture  for  the  payment of the proceeds of the bonds and the
      revenues of the project or projects to  the  trustee  under  such  trust
      indenture  or  other  depository,  and  for  the  method of disbursement
      thereof, with such safeguards and restrictions as it may determine.  All
      expenses incurred in carrying out such trust indenture may be treated as
      a part of the cost of maintenance, operation, and repairs of the project
      or  projects.  If  the  bonds shall be secured by a trust indenture, the
      bondholders shall have no authority to appoint  a  separate  trustee  to
      represent  them,  and  the trustee under such trust indenture shall have
    
      and possess all of the powers which are  conferred  by  section  fifteen
      hundred ninety-nine-ppp upon a trustee appointed by bondholders.
