Section 1957. Moneys of the authority  


Latest version.
  • All moneys of the authority, from
      whatever source derived, 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  moneys  in  such  accounts  shall be paid out by the
      treasurer on requisition of the chairman of the  authority  or  of  such
      person  as  the  authority may authorize to make such requisitions after
      audit by and upon the warrant of the comptroller. All deposits  of  such
      moneys  shall, if required by the treasurer or the authority, be secured
      by obligations 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 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  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  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 city council at its first meeting in February  of
      each and every year.
