Section 2047-C. Dutchess County Resource Recovery Agency

1. A corporation
  known  as the Dutchess County Resource Recovery Agency is hereby created
  for the public purposes and charged  with  the  duties  and  having  the
  powers  provided in this title. The agency shall be a body corporate and
  politic constituting a public benefit corporation. It shall  consist  of
  seven members, three of whom shall be appointed by the county executive,
  without  confirmation  of the county legislature, three of whom shall be
  appointed  by  the  chairman  of  the  county  legislature  subject   to
  confirmation  by  the  county legislature but without executive right to
  veto, and one of whom shall be jointly appointed by the county executive
  and the chairman of the county legislature, subject to  confirmation  by
  the  county legislature. Subsequent appointment of members shall be made
  for a term of three years ending in each case on  December  thirty-first
  of  the last year of such term. No person who has served as a member for
  two consecutive three year terms shall be eligible for reappointment  as
  a  member  for  a third term, except after an interval of at least three
  years. All members shall continue to hold office until their  successors
  are  appointed  and  qualify.  Vacancies  shall  be filled in the manner
  provided for original appointment. Vacancies, occurring  otherwise  than
  by  expiration  of  term  of  office,  shall be filled for the unexpired
  terms. Members may be removed from office for the same  reasons  and  in
  the same manner as may be provided by law for the removal of officers of
  the  county. The members of the agency shall receive no compensation for
  their services  but  shall  be  reimbursed  for  all  their  actual  and
  necessary  expenses  incurred in connection with the carrying out of the
  purposes of this title. The powers of the agency shall be vested in  and
  be exercised by the governing body at a meeting duly called and held and
  four  members shall constitute a quorum. No action shall be taken except
  pursuant to the favorable vote of at least four members.  The  governing
  body  may  delegate  to  one or more of its members, officers, agents or
  employees such powers and duties as it may deem proper.
    2. The  officers  of  the  agency  shall  consist  of  a  chairman,  a
  vice-chairman and a treasurer, who shall be members of the agency, and a
  secretary,  who  need not be a member of the agency. Such officers shall
  be appointed by the governing body and shall serve at  the  pleasure  of
  the governing body. In addition to the secretary, the governing body may
  appoint and at pleasure remove such additional officers and employees as
  it  may determine necessary for the performance of the powers and duties
  of the agency, which positions shall be in the  exempt  class  of  civil
  service   and   fix  and  determine  their  qualifications,  duties  and
  compensation, subject to the provisions of the civil  service  law.  The
  governing   body  may  also  from  time  to  time  contract  for  expert
  professional services. The treasurer shall execute a  bond,  conditioned
  upon  the  faithful  performance of the duties of his office, the amount
  and sufficiency of which shall be approved by the governing body and the
  premium therefor shall be paid by the agency.
    3. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of any general,  special
  or  local  law,  ordinance, resolution or charter, no officer, member or
  employee  of  the  state,  any  municipality,  or  any  public   benefit
  corporation,  shall forfeit his or her office or employment by reason of
  his or her acceptance of appointment as  a  member,  officer,  agent  or
  employee of the agency, nor shall service as such member, officer, agent
  or  employee  be  deemed  incompatible  or in conflict with such office,
  membership or employment; provided, however,  that  no  public  official
  elected  to  his  or her office pursuant to the laws of the state or any
  municipality thereof may serve as a member of the governing body of  the
  agency during his or her term of office.

    4.   (a)   The   county  executive  shall  file  on  or  before  March
  thirty-first, nineteen  hundred  eighty-three,  in  the  office  of  the
  secretary of state, a certificate signed by the county executive setting
  forth:  (1)  the  name  of  the  agency;  (2)  the  names of the members
  appointed by the county executive and their terms of office; and (3) the
  effective date of this title. The agency shall be perpetual in duration,
  except that if such certificate is not filed with the secretary of state
  on or before such date, then the corporate existence of the agency shall
  thereupon  terminate and it shall thereupon be deemed to be and shall be
  dissolved.
    (b) Except as provided in  paragraph  (a)  of  this  subdivision,  the
  agency  and  its  corporate existence shall continue until terminated by
  law, provided, however, that no such law shall take effect  so  long  as
  the  agency  shall  have  bonds  or other obligations outstanding unless
  adequate provision  has  been  made  for  the  payment  or  satisfaction
  thereof.  Upon  termination  of  the existence of the agency, all of the
  rights and properties of the agency then remaining  shall  pass  to  and
  vest in the county.
    5.  In  addition  to  any  powers  granted  to  it  by law, the county
  legislature from time to time may  appropriate  by  resolution  sums  of
  money  to  defray  project  costs or any other costs and expenses of the
  agency. Subject to the rights of bondholders, the county legislature may
  determine if the moneys so appropriated shall be subject to repayment by
  the agency to the county and, in such event,  the  manner  and  time  or
  times for such repayment.
    6.  It  is  hereby  determined  and  declared, that the agency and the
  carrying out of its powers and  duties  are  in  all  respects  for  the
  benefit of the people of the county and the state for the improvement of
  their  health,  welfare and prosperity and that such purposes are public
  purposes and that the agency is and  will  be  performing  an  essential
  governmental function in the exercise of the powers conferred upon it by
  this title.
