Latest version.
  • 1. All moneys of the authority
      shall be paid to the commissioner of finance of  the  city  of  Saratoga
      Springs as agent for the authority, who shall designate depositories and
      who shall not commingle such moneys with any other moneys. The moneys in
      such accounts shall be paid out on checks of the commissioner of finance
      on  requisition of the chairman of the authority or of such other person
      or persons as the authority may authorize upon proper audit of the city.
        2. At the end of every fiscal year, the authority shall pay all excess
      funds to the city  for  its  use.  The  term  excess  funds  shall  mean
      authority  moneys  not  required  for the authority's budget in the next
      fiscal year. In addition, the authority, with the consent  of  the  city
      council, can retain funds in a special capital account as a reserve fund
      for   possible   future   capital   projects   such  as  major  repairs,
      reconstruction or renovation of the civic center,  additional  equipment
      or  replacement  of  existing  fixtures  and  equipment. The size of the
      capital account shall be mutually agreed to by  the  authority  and  the
      city,  and  no  funds  shall  be  expended from the said capital account
      without the consent of the city council.
        3. All deposits of such moneys shall, if required by the  commissioner
      of  finance,  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 the deposits.
        4.  The  city  of  Saratoga  Springs  commissioner  of finance and his
      legally authorized representative are authorized and empowered from time
      to time to examine the accounts and books of  the  authority,  including
      all   receipts,   disbursements,   contracts,   leases,  sinking  funds,
      investments and any other records and papers relating to  its  financial
      standing.
        5.  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 and the 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.
