[HISTORY: Adopted Lewiston Town Board: Article I, 6-28-1976 by L.L. No.
5-1976. Amendments noted where applicable.]
[Adopted 6-28-1976 by L.L. No. 5-1976 (Ch. 6D, Art. I, of
the 1965 Code)]
The short title of this article is "Service Charge for the Handling
of Bonds in Lieu of Retainages."
Section 106-a of the General Municipal Law provides that a political
subdivision may impose upon each contractor a service charge for receiving,
handling and disbursing funds and coupons, all related to bonds and
bond anticipation notes submitted in lieu of retainages under municipal
contracts. Section 106-a, however, requires that imposition of such
a service charge is contingent upon a local law or ordinance passed
by the duly constituted governing body of the political subdivision.
It being a fiscally sound policy that the Town of Lewiston charge
contractors for the cost of such services, Local Law No. 5 is hereby
enacted.
A.
The fiscal officer of the Town of Lewiston, New York, shall impose
upon each contractor a service charge for receiving and handling bonds
and/or bond anticipation notes deposited pursuant to § 106
of the General Municipal Law, to be held in lieu of retained percentages
under municipal contracts and for the receiving, handling and disbursing
of funds and coupons related to such bonds and/or bond anticipation
notes.
B.
Such service charge shall include all out of pocket expenses connected
with such services, as well as the cost of Town personnel attributable
to such services.
