To assure the continued operation and solvency of the agency for the carrying out of the public purposes of this article, provision is made in paragraph (a) of this subdivision for the accumulation in each health facilities reserve fund of an amount equal to the maximum amount of principal and interest maturing and becoming due and sinking fund payments required to be made in any succeeding calendar year on all health facilities bonds of the agency then outstanding and secured by such reserve fund. In order further to assure the maintenance of such health facilities reserve funds, there shall be annually apportioned and paid to the agency for deposit in each health facilities reserve fund such sum, if any, as shall be certified by the chairman of the agency to the governor and director of the budget as necessary to restore such reserve fund to an amount equal to the maximum amount of principal and interest maturing and becoming due and sinking fund payments required to be made in any succeeding calendar year on the health facilities bonds of the agency then outstanding and secured by such reserve fund. The chairman of the agency shall annually, on or before December first, make and deliver to the governor and director of the budget his certificate stating the sums, if any, required to restore each such health facilities reserve fund to the amount aforesaid, and the sums so certified, if any, shall be apportioned and paid to the agency during the then current state fiscal year. The principal amount of bonds secured by a health facilities reserve fund or funds to which state funds are apportionable pursuant to this paragraph shall be limited to the total amount of bonds and notes outstanding on the effective date of this act, plus the total amount of bonds and notes contracted after the effective date of this act to finance projects in progress on the effective date of this act as determined by the New York state public authorities control board created pursuant to Public Authorities Law § 50 (New York state public authorities control board)section fifty of the public authorities law whose affirmative determination shall be conclusive as to all matters of law and fact solely for the purposes of the limitations contained in this paragraph, but in no event shall the total amount of bonds so secured by such a reserve fund or funds exceed six hundred seventy-five million dollars, excluding bonds issued to refund such outstanding bonds until the date of redemption of such outstanding bonds. As outstanding bonds so secured are paid, the amount so secured shall be reduced accordingly but the redemption of such outstanding bonds from the proceeds of refunding bonds shall not reduce the amounts so secured.

In computing any health facilities reserve fund for the purposes of this section, securities in which all or a portion of such reserve fund shall be invested shall be valued at par, or if purchased at less than par, at their cost to the agency.

(3)

any other monies which may be made available to the agency for the purposes of such funds from any other source or sources. The monies held in or credited to any urban rental debt service reserve fund established under this subdivision except as hereinafter provided, shall be used solely for the payment of the principal of urban rental project bonds of the agency secured by such reserve fund, as the same mature, required payments to any sinking fund established in a resolution of the agency for the amortization of term bonds (hereinafter referred to as “sinking fund payments”), the purchase or redemption of such urban rental project bonds of the agency, the payment of interest on such urban rental project bonds of the agency, or the payment of any redemption premium required to be paid when such bonds are redeemed prior to maturity; provided, however, that monies in any such fund shall not be withdrawn therefrom at any time in such amount as would reduce the amount of such fund to less than the maximum amount of principal and interest maturing and becoming due and sinking fund payments required to be made in any succeeding calendar year on the urban rental project bonds of the agency then outstanding and secured by such reserve fund, except for the purpose of paying principal, interest and sinking fund payments becoming due on the urban rental project bonds of the agency secured by such reserve fund maturing and becoming due and for the payment of which other monies of the agency are not available. For the purposes of this subdivision nine, in computing the maximum amount of principal maturing at a single future date (herein called “term bonds”) in any succeeding calendar year, the principal amount of any such term bonds which are subject to mandatory redemption prior to such future date by sinking fund payments shall not be included in the computation determining the maximum amount of principal maturing in said future year. Any income or interest earned by, or increment to, any such urban rental debt service reserve fund due to the investment thereof may be transferred to any other fund or account of the agency to the extent it does not reduce the amount of such urban rental debt service reserve fund below the maximum amount of principal and interest maturing and becoming due and sinking fund payments required to be made in any succeeding calendar year on all urban rental project bonds of the agency then outstanding and secured by such reserve fund.
