Section 2314. 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.  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 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.
