Section 1475-C. Syracuse parking authority

1. A board to be known as "city
  of Syracuse 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 chair and four other members, who
  shall be appointed by the mayor  of  the  city.  Of  the  members  first
  appointed,  one  shall  be appointed for a period of one year, one for a
  period of two years, one for a period of three years, one for  a  period
  of  four years, and one for a period of five years. At the expiration of
  such terms, the terms of office of their successors shall be five years.
  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  chair  and may choose a secretary and treasurer who need not be
  members. The mayor 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 only for a period of fifteen years, 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 city.
    2.  Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision 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 shall file on or before December thirty-first of the year
  in  which  this  title  shall  have  become  a law, in the office of the
  secretary of state, a certificate signed by the mayor setting forth: (a)
  a name of the authority; (b) the names of the members appointed  by  the
  mayor  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.
