N.Y. Public Authorities Law § 1570-b: Harrison parking authority

§ 1570-b. Harrison parking authority. 1. A board to be known as

"Harrison parking authority" is hereby created. Such board shall be a

body corporate, constituting a public benefit corporation, and its

existence shall commence upon the appointment of the members as provided

in this section. It shall consist of a chairperson, who shall be

appointed by the mayor of the village and the village board of trustees,

and four board members, who shall be appointed by the mayor of the

village and the village board of trustees. Each member shall continue to

serve until the appointment and qualification of his or her successor.

Vacancies in such board occurring otherwise than by the expiration of

term shall be filled for the unexpired term. The members of the board

shall choose from their number a vice-chairperson. The mayor of the

village may remove any member of the board for neglect of duty or

misconduct in office, giving such member a copy of the charges against

him or her and an opportunity of being heard in person, or by counsel,

in his or her defense upon not less than ten days notice. The members of

the board shall be entitled to no compensation for their services but

shall be entitled to reimbursement for their actual and necessary

expenses incurred in the performance of their official duties. The

powers of the authority shall be vested in and exercised by a majority

of the members of the board. Such board may delegate to one or more of

its members or to its officers, agents and employees such powers and

duties as it may deem proper. Such board and its corporate existence

shall continue until December thirty-first, two thousand fifty-four, and

thereafter until all its liabilities have been met and its bonds have

been paid in full, or such liabilities or bonds have otherwise been

discharged. Upon its ceasing to exist, all its rights and properties

shall pass to the village.

2. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provisions of any general, special

or local law, ordinance, resolution or charter, no officer, member or

employee of the state or of any public authority shall forfeit his or

her office or employment by reason of his or her acceptance of

appointment as a member, officer or employee of the authority, nor shall

service as such member, officer or employee be deemed incompatible or in

conflict with such office, membership or employment.

3. The mayor of the village shall file on or before December

thirty-first of the year in which this title shall take effect, in the

office of the secretary of state, a certificate signed by the mayor

setting forth:

(a) the name of the authority;

(b) the names of the members of the board and their terms of office;

and

(c) the effective date of this title.

If such certificate is not filed with the secretary of state on or

before such date, then the corporate existence of the authority shall

thereupon terminate and it shall thereupon be deemed to be and shall be

dissolved.
