N.Y. County Law § 386: Board of managers; appointment; terms; expenses

§ 386. Board of managers; appointment; terms; expenses. When the board

of supervisors shall have determined to establish a hospital for the

care and treatment of persons suffering from tuberculosis, and shall

have acquired a site therefor, and shall have awarded contracts for the

necessary buildings and improvements thereon, it shall appoint five

citizens of the county, of whom at least two shall be practicing

physicians, who shall constitute a board of managers of the said

hospital. The term of office of each member of said board shall be five

years, and the term of one of such managers shall expire annually; the

first appointments shall be made for the respective terms of five, four,

three, two and one years. Appointments of successors shall be for the

full term of five years, except that appointment of persons to fill

vacancies occurring by death, resignation or other cause shall be made

for the unexpired term. Failure of any manager to attend three

consecutive meetings of the board shall cause a vacancy in his office,

unless said absence is excused by formal action of the board of

managers. The managers shall receive no compensation for their services,

but shall be allowed their actual and necessary traveling and other

expenses, to be audited and paid, in the same manner as the other

expenses of the hospital, by the board of supervisors. Any manager may

at any time be removed from office by the board of supervisors of the

county, for cause after an opportunity to be heard.
