* § 6. Administration of the board. 1. The membership of the board

shall be the governor, the state comptroller (pursuant to his authority

to supervise the accounts of any political subdivision of the state),

the mayor, the city comptroller and three members appointed by the

governor with the advice and consent of the senate. At least two of the

appointed members shall be residents of the city or have their principal

place of business in the city. Such appointed members shall serve at the

pleasure of the governor. The governor shall be the chairman of the

board and the governor or his representative shall preside over all

meetings of the board. The board shall act by majority vote of the

entire board. The board shall maintain a record of its proceedings in

such form as it may determine, but such record shall indicate attendance

and all votes cast by each member. Every member of the board, who is

otherwise an elected official of the state or city, shall be entitled to

designate a representative to attend, in his place, meetings of the

board and to vote or otherwise act in his behalf. Written notice of such

designation shall be furnished to the board by the designating member

prior to any meeting attended by his representative. Any such

representative shall serve at the pleasure of the designating member. No

such representative shall be authorized to delegate any of his duties or

functions to any other person. The lieutenant governor, temporary

president of the senate, the minority leader of the senate, speaker and

minority leader of the assembly, the president of the council of the

city of New York, the city board of estimate acting by majority vote,

and the vice-chairman and the minority leader of the council of the city

of New York, shall each be entitled to appoint a representative to the

board. Each such representative shall be entitled to receive notice of

and to attend all meetings of the board but shall not be entitled to

vote. No representative shall be an employee or officer of the federal,

state or city governments. Each representative shall serve at the

pleasure of the appointing official or body, shall be eligible for

reappointment, and shall hold office until his successor has been

appointed.

2. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provisions of law, general,

special or local, no officer or employee of the state, or political

subdivision of the state, any governmental entity operating any public

school or college or other public agency or instrumentality or unit of

government which exercises governmental powers under the laws of the

state, shall forfeit his office or employment by reason of his

acceptance or appointment as a member, representative, officer, employee

or agent of the board nor shall service as such member, representative,

officer, employee or agent of the board be deemed incompatible or in

conflict with such office or employment.

3. The members of the board appointed by the governor and all

representatives designated by members of the board shall serve without

salary or per diem allowance but shall be entitled to reimbursement for

actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of official

duties under this act, provided however that such members and

representatives are not, at the time such expenses are incurred, public

employees otherwise entitled to such reimbursement.

4. The governor and the mayor, jointly, shall appoint an executive

director of the board who shall serve at the pleasure of the board and

may be removed by the board. The board may delegate to the executive

director or to one or more of its other officers, employees or agents,

such powers and duties as the board may deem proper, except any duties

inconsistent with the duties and functions prescribed by any other

office or position any such person may hold.
