1097 - Moneys of the authority.

§  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.
