Section 124. Designation of the comptroller as accounting officer

Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, the town board of a
  town in which the office of comptroller has  been  established  may,  by
  resolution,  determine that such officer shall be the accounting officer
  of the town. In such event, all of the accounting  duties  of  the  town
  supervisor shall be transferred to and be performed by the comptroller.
    In  addition  to  keeping detailed accounting records, the comptroller
  shall prepare and transmit to the town  clerk  the  report  required  by
  subdivision  ten  or,  if  the town board shall so determine, the report
  required by subdivision ten-a of section twenty-nine  of  this  chapter.
  He  shall  also  render to the town board the detailed monthly statement
  required by section one hundred twenty-five of this chapter,  and  shall
  prepare  and  submit  to  the  state department of audit and control the
  report required by section thirty of the general municipal law.
    Notwithstanding  any  other  provision  of  the  highway  law,  social
  services  law,  or  this  chapter,  no  money  shall  be paid out by the
  supervisor except upon  the  warrant  of  the  town  comptroller.  Every
  officer  required  to  submit a monthly statement to the town supervisor
  pursuant to subdivision one of  section  twenty-seven  of  this  chapter
  shall furnish a copy thereof to the town comptroller.
    Nothing  in  this  section  shall  be  construed  to  relieve the town
  supervisor  of  his  duties  as  treasurer  of  the  town  pursuant   to
  subdivisions  one,  two,  three  and four of section twenty-nine of this
  chapter.
