Section 2675-I. Monies of the authority  


Latest version.
  • 1. All monies of the authority from
      whatever  source  derived, except as otherwise authorized or provided in
      this title, shall be paid  to  the  authority  and  shall  be  deposited
      forthwith  in  a bank or banks in the state designated by the authority.
      The monies in such accounts shall be withdrawn  on  the  order  of  such
      person  or  persons as the authority may authorize. All deposits of such
      monies shall, if required by the authority, be secured in such manner as
      the authority may determine. 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. Such
      examination shall be conducted by the comptroller at least once in every
      five years; the comptroller is authorized, however, to accept  from  the
      authority,  in  lieu  of such an examination, an external examination of
      its books and accounts made at the request of the authority. The results
      of any  such  examinations  shall  be  reported  to  the  governor,  the
      chairperson  of  the  senate  finance  committee, the chairperson of the
      assembly ways and means committee, the mayor and the county executive.
        2. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this title related  to  the
      investments  of  monies of the authority, the authority shall have power
      to contract with holders of  any  of  its  bonds,  as  to  the  custody,
      collection,   securing,   investment,  and  payment  of  monies  of  the
      authority, of any monies held in trust or otherwise for the  payment  of
      bonds, and to carry out such contract. Monies held in trust or otherwise
      for  the  payment of bonds or in any way to secure bonds and deposits of
      such monies may be secured in such manner as shall be set forth in  such
      contract  or agreement, and all banks and trust companies are authorized
      to give such security for such deposits. The authority  shall  establish
      and  may  amend  from time to time, guidelines for the investment of its
      monies, including those held in trust for the benefit of the holders  of
      bonds,  and shall file such guidelines in the authority's public records
      within sixty days after the adoption of such  guidelines  or  amendments
      thereto.
        3.  The  authority shall submit to the comptroller, within thirty days
      of the receipt thereof by the authority, a copy of the report  of  every
      external examination of the books and accounts of the authority.
