1097 - Moneys of the authority. - New York Statutes

§ 1097. Moneys of the authority. 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 of New York designated by the authority. The moneys in such accounts shall be paid out on check of the treasurer on requisition by the authority or of such other person or persons as the authority may authorize to make such requisitions. All deposits of such moneys shall, if required by the comptroller or the authority, be secured by obligations of the United States or of the state of New York or of the county of a market value equal at all times to the amount of deposit and all banks and trust companies are authorized to give such security for such deposits. The comptroller and his legally authorized representatives, and the director of finance of the county of Monroe, if he so elect, are hereby 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 matters 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, 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 to 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.
