52:27-45.4. Duties of board in liquidation of assets pledged to special fund; proceeds of liquidation; cancellation of outstanding and unpaid warrants after properties and assets liquidated

It shall be the duty of any board created and established pursuant to this act and any such ordinance or resolution, to effect, manage and control the liquidation of the assets pledged to the special fund or funds pursuant to such ordinance or resolution in a speedy, efficient and economical manner. Any such board is hereby authorized to compromise, adjust or otherwise settle any certificates of tax sale, or tax and assessment title liens, or other receivables included in such assets, and may, in its discretion for and in the name of such municipality, foreclose certificates of tax sale or tax and assessment title liens in the manner provided by law for the foreclosure of such liens by the municipality and shall liquidate such properties and assets pledged to said fund or funds by sale, exchange, lease or other disposition thereof, but this act, or any action taken pursuant thereto, shall not be deemed to relieve the municipality from liability on any contract with respect to such foreclosures existing at the time of adoption of such ordinance or resolution. The proceeds of such liquidation shall be paid into such special fund or funds and shall be withdrawn therefrom solely for the purpose of paying the compensation and expenses of the board and paying or otherwise discharging in accordance with such ordinance or resolution the principal of and interest on the warrants payable therefrom until all such warrants and the interest thereon have been paid, redeemed or otherwise satisfied. Any balance remaining in said fund or funds after the expenditures for the purposes above specified may be expended as is provided in the ordinance or resolution authorizing the issuance of any such warrants. If any warrants remain outstanding and unpaid after all of the properties and assets pledged to said fund or funds have been liquidated in the manner hereinabove provided, such warrants shall be void and of no force or effect, and shall be surrendered to the municipality upon demand, for cancellation.
