  • A board to be known as "Port
      Jervis 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  herein  provided.
      It  shall  consist  of  a  chairman and four other members, who shall be
      appointed by the common council  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  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-chairman. The common council may remove any member of  the  board
      for  inefficiency, neglect of duty or misconduct in office, giving him a
      copy of the charges against him and an opportunity  of  being  heard  in
      person,  or  by  counsel,  in  his  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  then  in  office.
      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 five 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.
