Current through 2024 NY Law Chapter 553
Section 9 - Establishment and application of the board fund
1.There is hereby established a fund designated the board fund. Commencing on October twentieth, nineteen hundred seventy-five, and for the duration of a control period, all revenues received or to be received by the city or any covered organization shall, unless exempted by order of the board, be revenues of the board fund and shall be for the account of the city or the appropriate covered organizations, except (i) to the extent expressly prohibited by federal law, (ii) where revenues of the city are deposited in the general debt service fund, the TAN debt service account or the RAN debt service account, or (iii) where such revenues are pledged to the payment of any outstanding bonds, notes or other obligations of covered organizations or state public authorities as defined in section two hundred one of the civil service law. Disbursement from the board fund shall be made by the board in accordance with the approved financial plan except as provided in subdivision five of this section nine. Commencing on October twentieth, nineteen hundred seventy-five, and for the duration of a control period, all funds and accounts established or thereafter established by the city or the covered organizations shall, unless exempted by order of the board, thereafter be funds and accounts of the board fund except to the extent expressly prohibited by federal law or to the extent pledged by covenants or agreements relating to any outstanding bonds, notes or other obligations of covered organizations or public authorities as defined in section two hundred one of the civil service law; and no monies or funds held in the general debt service fund, the TAN debt service account or the RAN debt service account shall be part of the board fund. All such accounts of the board shall have such captions and entries as the board shall determine to be necessary to credit the foregoing revenues and receipts to the board fund. The monies of the fund shall not be deemed to be money of the state or money under its control.
2.The deposit of revenues into the board fund and the investment or deposit of monies therein shall be made in accordance with and pursuant to procedures established by the board.
3.In order to assure compliance with the financial plan, the board shall from time to time adopt procedures controlling the disbursement of monies from the board fund. The board shall authorize the city to make all disbursements of city revenues from the board fund, which disbursements shall be made in accordance with the approved financial plan; provided, that the board may withdraw such authorization if it determines that (a) any disbursements made or to be made by the city have not been or are likely not to be in compliance with the approved financial plan, (b) the city has violated any other provisions of this act, or (c) the city has violated an agreement with any holder or guarantor of bonds or notes issued by the city or a state financing agency.
4.Within the board fund there is hereby established a special account designated the debt service repayment account. The board shall from time to time direct, in accordance with procedures adopted by the board, the deposit in the debt service repayment account of such amounts as the board shall, in its discretion, determine to be sufficient to meet the debt service requirements of the covered organizations on their bonds and notes (other than bonds and notes of covered organizations payable from revenues not included in the board fund) as they become due. Amounts in the debt service repayment account shall be used to meet such debt service requirements of the covered organizations.
5.If at any time the board determines that the amount then held in the board fund or the amount estimated by the board to be held in the board fund is or will be insufficient to meet the expenditures in the amounts and at the times required by the financial plan, the board shall require disbursements from the board fund to be made in the following order or priority unless otherwise required by law of the United States of America: (i) the payment of amounts from the board fund to the debt service repayment account, the general debt service fund, the TAN debt service account and the RAN debt service account, to maintain therein the amount required, to meet debt service requirements of the city and the covered organizations on their bonds and notes as they may become due, (ii) the payment of other liabilities having statutory or contractual priority over remaining liabilities of the city and the covered organizations whose monies are included in the board fund, and (iii) the payment of other obligations on an allocated basis as specified by the city for expenditures in accordance with the financial plan provided that, in the event that the city fails to so specify, the board may withhold payment of any of such other obligations or may direct their payment pro rata.
6.The board shall cause to be performed such pre-audit and post-audit reviews of the board funds and disbursements therefrom as it may determine.
