district established in the town of Kirkland, Oneida county, outside the

town law relating to a sewer district in a town shall apply to such

district, except as herein otherwise provided: The district shall be

governed by a board of sewer district commissioners consisting of three

persons, who shall serve until a vacancy shall occur by reason of death,

resignation or removal from office. The town board of the town of

Kirkland may remove a member of the board for inefficiency, neglect of

duty or misconduct in office after a public hearing on not less than ten

days' written notice and an opportunity to be heard in person or by

counsel. A vacancy in office of a commissioner shall be filled by

appointment by the town board from a list of nominations of not less

than three persons made by the remaining commissioners. Each

commissioner appointed by the town board must be a resident taxpayer of

the sewer district or in lieu thereof an officer, trustee or member of

the faculty of Hamilton college. Such commissioners shall select one of

their number as chairman and another as secretary. Each commissioner,

before entering upon the duties of his office, shall take the

constitutional oath of office and execute to the town of Kirkland and

file with the town clerk an official undertaking in such sum and with

such sureties as the town board from time to time may direct. Such

commissioners may be paid for their services an annual amount, as

determined by the town board, up to two thousand dollars. Such

compensation shall be deemed an expense of the district. The board of

sewer district commissioners of such district shall have all the powers

and be subject to the duties and responsibilities of district

commissioners elected pursuant to the provisions of article thirteen of

the town law.
