Section 1590-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 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
      comptroller  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.
      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.
