      the Monroe county airport authority.  The  authority  shall  be  a  body
      corporate  and  politic  constituting  a public benefit corporation. The
      authority shall  consist  of  seven  members  appointed  by  the  county
      executive, provided that two of such members shall be appointed upon the
      written  recommendation  of  the president of the county legislature and
      one of such members shall be appointed upon the  written  recommendation
      of  the  minority  leader  of  the county legislature. No more than five
      members may be registered members  of  the  same  political  party.  All
      appointments  by  the  county executive shall be confirmed by a majority
      vote of the county legislature. The county executive shall designate the
      chairperson of the authority who shall serve  at  the  pleasure  of  the
      county  executive.  The  member  initially  appointed  upon  the written
      recommendation of the minority leader of the  county  legislature  shall
      serve   for  a  term  ending  December  thirty-first,  nineteen  hundred
      ninety-one.  Of  the  members  initially  appointed  upon  the   written
      recommendation  of  the  president  of the county legislature, one shall
      serve  for  a  term  ending  December  thirty-first,  nineteen   hundred
      ninety-two; and one shall serve for a term ending December thirty-first,
      nineteen  hundred  ninety-three.  Of  the  remaining  members  initially
      appointed by the county executive other than the chairperson, one  shall
      serve   for  a  term  ending  December  thirty-first,  nineteen  hundred
      ninety-one; one shall serve for a  term  ending  December  thirty-first,
      nineteen  hundred  ninety-two;  and  one  shall  serve for a term ending
      December thirty-first, nineteen hundred  ninety-three.  Thereafter  each
      member, other than the chairperson, shall serve a term of four years.
        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 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 authority 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 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 directors shall constitute a quorum.
      No action shall be taken except pursuant to the  favorable  vote  of  at
      least a majority of directors. The members of the authority 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 continue for a term of one year after all its
      bonds have been fully paid  and  discharged.  Upon  termination  of  the
      existence of the authority, all of its rights and property shall pass to
      and be vested in the county.
