  consist of a board of seven  directors  comprised,  ex-officio,  of  the
  members of the town board.
    2.  The  members  of  the  authority shall receive no compensation for
  their services, whether as members or officers  of  the  authority,  but
  shall  be  reimbursed  for  all  of  their actual and necessary expenses
  incurred in connection with the carrying out of  the  purposes  of  this
  title.  The  powers of the authority shall be vested in and be exercised
  by the governing body at a meeting duly called and held where  a  quorum
  of  four  members  are  present.  No action shall be taken except by the
  favorable vote of at least four members. The officers of the  authority,
  in  addition  to  the  chairman,  shall consist of a vice-chairman and a

  other than the  chairman  shall  be  selected  by  the  members  of  the
  authority,  and  such  officers  shall  serve  in such capacities at the
  pleasure of the authority. In addition to the position of secretary, the
  authority may appoint and at  pleasure  remove  an  executive  director,
  attorney  and  engineer, which positions shall be in the exempt class of
  the civil service, and such additional officers and employees as it  may
  deem  necessary,  and may determine and fix their qualifications, duties
  and compensation, without regard to whether they are or  shall  also  be
  employees or agents of the town and are or shall be being compensated as
  such,  subject to the provisions of the civil service law. The authority
  may delegate to  one  or  more  of  its  members,  officers,  agents  or
  employees  any such powers as it may deem proper. The authority may also
  contract for expert professional services. The treasurer shall execute a
  bond conditioned on the faithful performance of the duties of his or her
  office, the amount of sufficiency of which  shall  be  approved  by  the
  governing body and the premium for which shall be paid by the authority.
    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 authority, nor shall service as a member, officer, agent
  or employee be deemed incompatible or  in  conflict  with  such  office,
  membership or employment.
    4. (a) The town shall file on or before March thirty-first of the year
  following  the  year in which this title shall have become a law, in the
  office of the secretary of state,  a  certificate  signed  by  the  town
  supervisor  setting  forth: (1) the name of the authority; (2) the names
  of the members; and (3) the effective date of this title.
    (b) The authority shall be perpetual in duration, except that  if  the
  certificate  referred  to  in  paragraph  (a) of this subdivision is not
  filed with the secretary of state on or before  the  date  specified  in
  such  paragraph,  then  the  corporate  existence of the authority shall
  thereupon terminate and it shall be deemed to be and shall be dissolved,
  and except, further, that the authority and its corporate existence  may
  be  terminated  by  law  or  by  resolution of the town board, provided,
  however, that no such termination shall  take  effect  so  long  as  the
  authority  shall  have  bonds  or  other  obligations outstanding unless
  adequate provision  has  been  made  for  the  payment  or  satisfaction

  thereof.  Upon any termination of the existence of the authority, all of
  the rights and properties of the authority then remaining shall pass  to
  and  vest  in the town. In connection with any such termination pursuant
  to  a  resolution  of  the town board, the town supervisor shall, within
  thirty days of the effective date  of  such  termination,  file  in  the
  office of the secretary of state a certificate setting forth the name of
  the authority and the effective date of the termination.
