Section 1493-H. Moneys of the authority  


Latest version.
  • All moneys of the authority shall
      be paid to the 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 money in such
      accounts shall be paid out  by  the  treasurer  on  requisition  of  the
      chairman  of the authority or of such person or persons as the authority
      may authorize to make such requisitions after  audit  by  and  upon  the
      warrant  of  the city comptroller. All deposits of such moneys shall, if
      required by the treasurer or the authority, be secured by obligations of
      the United States or the state of New York at 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  and  his legally authorized representative 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 account  of  the
      authority  shall  be subject to the supervision of the state comptroller
      and he or his legally authorized representatives are  hereby  authorized
      and empowered from time to time to examine the accounts and books of the
      authority,  including  its  receipts,  disbursements, contracts, sinking
      funds, investments and  any  other  matter  relating  to  its  financial
      standing  and  fiscal  affairs.  The  authority  shall render a complete
      annual account of its proceedings to the common  council  at  its  first
      meeting in January of each and every year.
