Section 2735. Moneys of the authority  


Latest version.
  • All moneys of the authority from
      whatever source derived shall be paid to the treasurer of the  authority
      and  shall  be  deposited  forthwith  in  a  bank  or banks in the state
      designated by the governing body. The moneys in such accounts  shall  be
      paid  out  on  check  of the treasurer upon requisition by the governing
      body or of such other person  or  persons  as  the  governing  body  may
      authorize  to  make such requisitions. All deposits of such moneys shall
      be secured by obligations of  the  United  States,  the  state,  or  the
      participating  counties,  of  a  market  value equal at all times to the
      amount on deposit and all banks and trust companies  are  authorized  to
      give  such  security  for such deposits. The authority shall have power,
      notwithstanding the provisions of this section,  to  contract  with  the
      holders of any bonds as to the custody, collection, security, 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
      carry out any such contract notwithstanding that such  contract  may  be
      inconsistent  with the 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.  Any  moneys  of  the authority not
      required for immediate use or disbursement may, at the discretion of the
      authority, be invested in those obligations specified  pursuant  to  the
      provisions  of  section ninety-eight-a of the state finance law. Subject
      to the provisions of any contract with bondholders and with the approval
      of the comptroller, the authority shall prescribe a system of accounts.
