Section 2578. Greater Rochester sports authority

1. There is hereby created
  the  Greater  Rochester  sports authority. The authority shall be a body
  corporate and politic constituting a  public  benefit  corporation.  The
  authority  shall  consist of three members. Two of such members shall be
  appointed by the county executive with the advice  and  consent  of  the
  county  legislature  and  who  shall serve at the pleasure of the county
  executive, and one of such members shall be appointed by the city  mayor
  with  the advice and consent of the city council, and shall serve at the
  pleasure of the city mayor.
    2. All members shall continue to hold office  until  their  successors
  are  appointed  and  qualify.  Vacancies  shall  be filled in the manner
  provided for original appointments. 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 a county. The members  of  the  authority
  shall receive no compensation for their services but shall be reimbursed
  for  all other 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 members of the
  authority at a meeting duly called and held and a  majority  of  members
  shall constitute a quorum. Except as hereafter provided, no action shall
  be  taken except pursuant to the affirmative vote of at least two voting
  members. The  board  shall  appoint  from  its  members  a  chairperson,
  vice-chairperson, and a treasurer and may delegate to one or more of its
  members, officers, agents or employees, such powers and duties as it may
  deem proper.
    3.  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 corporation 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.
    4.  The authority shall be perpetual in duration, unless terminated by
  law. Provided, however that no such law 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 termination of the existence of the authority, all of  its
  rights  and property shall pass to and be vested in such municipality or
  legal entity as provided in said law.
    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.
    6. Nothing in this title shall be construed to obligate the  state  in
  any  way  in  connection  with  the  operation  or  obligations  of  the
  authority.
