Section 2052-C. Oneida county sports facility authority

1. A public
  corporation,  to  be  known  as  the  "Oneida  county  sports   facility
  authority"  is  hereby  created for the public purposes and charged with
  the duties and having the powers provided in this title.  The  authority
  shall  be  a  body  corporate  and politic constituting a public benefit
  corporation, the objects of which in the  judgment  of  the  legislature
  cannot  be attained under general laws. The board of the authority shall
  consist of a total of seven members, three of whom shall be appointed by
  the county executive,  without  confirmation  of  the  county  board  of
  legislators,  and four of whom shall be appointed by the county board of
  legislators, without county executive right to veto. The  first  members
  appointed  by  the county executive shall be appointed for the following
  terms of office: one for a term ending on December thirty-first  of  the
  first year following the year in which this title shall have become law,
  one  for  a  term  ending  on  December  thirty-first  of the third year
  following the year in which this title shall have become law and one for
  a term ending on December thirty-first of the fifth year  following  the
  year  in  which  this  title  shall  have  become law. The first members
  appointed by the county board of legislators shall  have  the  following
  terms  of  office: one for a term ending on December thirty-first of the
  first year following the year in which this title shall have become law,
  one for a term  ending  on  December  thirty-first  of  the  third  year
  following  the  year  in which this title shall have become law, and two
  for a term ending on December thirty-first of the fifth  year  following
  the  year  in  which  this  title  shall  have  become  law.  Subsequent
  appointments of members shall be made for a term of five years ending in
  each case on December thirty-first of the last year of  such  term.  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  by  appointment  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 authority  shall  receive  no
  compensation  for  their  services,  but  shall  be reimbursed for 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 board at a  meeting  duly  called  and
  held  where  a  quorum  of  four members are present. No action shall be
  taken except pursuant to the favorable vote  of  at  least  four  voting
  members. The board 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  authority shall consist of a chairman, who
  shall be a member of the authority, and a vice-chairman and a treasurer,
  who shall be members of the authority, and a secretary, who need not  be
  a member of the authority. Such officers shall be appointed by the board
  and  shall  serve  in  such  capacities at the pleasure of the board. In
  addition to the secretary, the board 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 authority and fix and
  determine their qualifications, duties and compensation, subject to  the
  provisions  of  the  civil service law. The appointment and promotion of
  all employees of the authority shall be  made  in  accordance  with  the
  provisions  of the civil service law and county civil service rules, and
  such employees shall be entitled to membership in the county pension and
  retirement system,  and  shall  be  entitled  to  the  same  rights  and
  obligations  thereunder  as  the  employees of the county. The board may
  also from time to time contract for expert  professional  services,  and

  may   retain   or   employ  counsel,  auditors,  engineers  and  private
  consultants on a contract basis or otherwise for rendering  professional
  or  technical  services  and advice. The treasurer shall execute a bond,
  conditioned  upon  the  faithful performance of the duties of his or her
  office, the amount and sufficiency of which shall  be  approved  by  the
  board and the premium therefor 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  such  member,  officer,
  agent  or  employee  be  deemed  incompatible  or  in conflict with such
  office, membership  or  employment  and  any  such  officer,  member  or
  employee  may  accept  such  appointment and serve as a member, officer,
  agent or employee of the  authority  without  forfeiture  of  any  other
  office or position of public employment by reason thereof.
    4.  (a)  The  county  executive  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 county
  executive setting forth: (1) the name of the authority; (2) the names of
  the members initially appointed and their terms of office; and  (3)  the
  effective  date  of  this  title.  The  authority  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 authority 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
  authority and its corporate existence shall continue until terminated by
  law. Upon termination of the existence of  the  authority,  all  of  the
  rights  and  each  project of the authority then remaining shall pass to
  and vest in the county.
    5. It is hereby determined and declared, that the  authority  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 authority is and will be performing an essential
  governmental function in the exercise of the powers conferred upon it by
  this title.
