N.Y. Urban Development Corporation Act 174/68 § 28: Monies of the corporation

§ 28. Monies of the corporation. (1) All monies of the corporation,

except as otherwise authorized or provided in this act, shall be paid to

the commissioner of taxation and finance as agent of the corporation,

who shall not commingle such monies with any other monies. Such monies

shall be deposited in a separate bank account or accounts. The monies in

such accounts shall be paid out on checks signed by the commissioner of

taxation and finance on requisition of the chairman of the corporation

or of such other officer or employee or officers or employees as the

corporation shall authorize to make such requisition. All deposits of

such monies shall, if required by the commissioner of taxation and

finance or the corporation, be secured by obligations of the United

States or of the state of a market value equal at all times to the

amount of the deposit, and all banks and trust companies are authorized

to give such security for such deposits.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, the corporation shall

have power to contract with the holders of any of its notes or bonds, as

to the custody, collection, securing, investment, and payment of any

monies of the corporation, of any monies held in trust or otherwise for

the payment of notes or bonds, and to carry out such contract. Monies

held in trust or otherwise for the payment of notes or bonds or in any

way to secure notes or bonds and deposits of such monies may be secured

in the same manner as monies of the corporation, and all banks and trust

companies are authorized to give such security for such deposits.

(2) Subject to agreements with noteholders and bondholders and the

approval of the comptroller, the corporation shall prescribe a system of

accounts.

(3) The comptroller, or his legally authorized representative, is

hereby authorized and empowered from time to time to examine the books

and accounts of the corporation including its receipts, disbursements,

contracts, reserve funds, sinking funds, investments, and any other

matters relating to its financial standing. Such an examination shall be

conducted by the comptroller at least once in every five years; the

comptroller is authorized, however, to accept from the corporation, in

lieu of such an examination, an external examination of its books and

accounts made at the request of the corporation.

(4) The corporation shall submit to the governor, chairman of the

senate finance committee, chairman of the assembly ways and means

committee and the comptroller, within thirty days of the receipt thereof

by the corporation, a copy of the report of every external examination

of the books and accounts of the corporation other than copies of the

reports of such examinations made by the comptroller.
