Docks facilities revenue bonds and refunding bonds may be sold by the department from time to time in series, and if sold in more than one series may all be authorized in one initial order of the director with the pledges therefor made in such initial order, notwithstanding that details applicable to each series may be specified in the respective orders under which such series are issued. Each series of the docks facilities revenue bonds or refunding bonds may be sold at public or private sale, as determined by the director, at such price or prices as the director shall determine, and if sold at public sale either on sealed bids or at public auction, to the bidder whose bid reflects the lowest true interest cost to the department for the series of the docks facilities revenue bonds or refunding bonds being sold, computed from the date of those at the time being sold to their respective maturities and taking into account any premium or discount named in the bid therefor; provided, that if in the event of public sale of the docks facilities revenue bonds or refunding bonds no bid acceptable to the department is received it may reject all bids. Notice or summary notice of each public sale shall be given by publication in either a financial journal or a financial newspaper published in the City of New York, New York, and also by publication in a newspaper published in the state which is customarily published not less than five days during each calendar week, each of which notices or summary notices must be published at least one time not less than 10 days prior to the date fixed for the sale. The director may fix the terms and conditions under which each such sale may be held; provided, that such terms and conditions shall not conflict with any of the requirements of this article. At least thirty (30) days prior to the publication of notice or summary notice of the public sale, the department shall notify the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the members of the Legislative Council of the proposed use of the bond proceeds from the sale of bond. Approval by the Governor of the terms and conditions under which any of the docks facilities revenue bonds or refunding bonds may be issued shall be requisite to their validity. The Governor’s approval shall be in writing and shall be entered on the order of the director in which the series of the docks facilities revenue bonds or refunding bonds proposed to be issued are authorized or sold. Such approval by the Governor may be shown on any series of the docks facilities revenue bonds or refunding bonds by a facsimile of his signature printed or otherwise reproduced thereon when authorization of such action is contained in the approval signed by him. Neither a public hearing nor consent by the Department of Finance of the state or any other department or agency shall be a prerequisite to the issuance of any of the docks facilities revenue bonds or refunding bonds.
