The authority shall mail or deliver to the chief executive officer and the governing body of the city of Troy and make available for public inspection and comment its proposed budget for the forthcoming fiscal year, no later than twenty business days before adoption. At such time, the authority shall file its proposed budget with the clerk of the city of Troy.

Payments in lieu of taxes received by the authority shall be paid over to each affected tax jurisdiction within thirty days of receipt.6. Payments in lieu of taxes which are delinquent under the agreement or which the authority fails to remit pursuant to subdivision five of this section shall be subject to a late payment penalty of five percent of the amount due which shall be paid by the project occupant (where taxes are delinquent because of the occupant's failure to make the required payment) or the agency (because of the agency's failure to remit pursuant to subdivision five of this section) to the affected tax jurisdiction at the time the payment in lieu of taxes is paid. For each month, or part thereof, that the payment in lieu of taxes is delinquent beyond the first month, interest shall accrue to and be paid by the project occupant (where taxes are delinquent because of the occupant's failure to make the required payment) or the agency (because of the agency's failure to remit pursuant to subdivision five of this section) to the affected tax jurisdiction on the total amount due plus a late payment penalty in the amount of one percent per month until the payment is made.7. An affected tax jurisdiction which has not received a payment in lieu of taxes due to it under an agreement may commence legal action in any court of competent jurisdiction directly against any person, firm, corporation, organization or agency which is obligated to make payments in lieu of taxes under an agreement and has failed to do so. In such an action, the affected tax jurisdiction shall be entitled to recover the amount due, the late payment penalty, interest, expenses, costs and disbursements together with the reasonable attorneys' fees necessary to prosecute such action.
