N.Y. Executive Law § 534-c: New York waterfront commission established

§ 534-c. New York waterfront commission established. 1. There is

hereby created the New York waterfront commission, which shall be in the

executive department of this state and may request, receive, and utilize

facilities, resources and data of any department, division, board,

bureau, commission, agency or public authority of the state or any

political subdivision thereof as it may reasonably request to carry out

properly its powers and duties.

2. The commission shall consist of the commissioner appointed by the

governor with the advice and consent of the senate, and shall receive

compensation to be fixed by the governor of this state. The term of

office of such commissioner shall be for three years; provided, however,

that a commissioner serving on the bi-state commission at the time of

its dissolution on the seventeenth of July two thousand twenty-three who

was appointed by the governor of New York to such position, may serve as

acting commissioner of the New York waterfront commission until such

time as a commissioner is appointed by the governor, with the advice and

consent of the senate, pursuant to this subdivision. A commissioner

shall hold office until that commissioner's successor has been appointed

and qualified. Vacancies in office shall be filled for the balance of

the unexpired term in the same manner as original appointments.

3. A commissioner may, by written instrument filed in the office of

the commission, designate any officer or employee of the commission to

act in that commissioner's place. A vacancy in the office of a

commissioner shall not impair such designation until the vacancy shall

have been filled.
