Section 1621-H. Moneys of the authority  


Latest version.
  • All moneys of the authority shall
      be paid to the city treasurer 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 city treasurer of the city  on
      requisition  of the chairperson of the authority or of such other person
      or persons as the authority may  authorize  to  make  such  requisitions
      after  audit  by  the  city  treasurer of the city. All deposits of such
      moneys shall 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 treasurer of the city and his or
      her 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  or
      notes 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 notes or in anyway to secure bonds or notes, 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 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. The accounts of the
      authority shall be subject to the supervision of the state  comptroller.
      The  authority shall render a complete account of its proceedings to the
      common council at its first meeting of each year and at such other times
      as may reasonably be requested by the common council.
