appointments by the county executive shall be confirmed by a majority

vote of the county legislature. The county executive shall designate the

chairperson of the authority who shall serve at the pleasure of the

county executive. The member initially appointed upon the written

recommendation of the minority leader of the county legislature shall

serve for a term ending December thirty-first, nineteen hundred

ninety-one. Of the members initially appointed upon the written

recommendation of the president of the county legislature, one shall

provided for original appointment. Vacancies, occurring otherwise than

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

employee of the state or of any public corporation 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.

bonds have been fully paid and discharged. Upon termination of the

existence of the authority, all of its rights and property shall pass to

and be vested in the county.
