  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1. Subdivision 1 of section 1199-dd of the public authorities
law, as added by chapter 709 of the laws of 1987, is amended to read  as
follows:
  1.  A  public  corporation,  to  be  known as the "Orange county water
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  and  shall  be  a "public district" for purposes of section
eighty-nine-l of the public service law, the objects  of  which  in  the
judgment  of  the  legislature cannot be attained under general laws. It
shall consist of [five] SEVEN members, who shall  be  residents  of  the
county  and  be  appointed  by  the  county  executive.  All  members so
appointed shall be subject to confirmation by  the  county  legislature.
The  first  members appointed by the county executive shall be appointed
for the following terms of office: two for a  term  ending  on  December
thirty-first  of  the second year following the year in which this title
shall have become law; [and] three for a term ending on  December  thir-
ty-first  of the third year following the year in which this title shall
have become law; ONE FOR A TERM ENDING  ON  DECEMBER  THIRTY-FIRST,  TWO
THOUSAND TWELVE; AND ONE FOR A TERM ENDING ON DECEMBER THIRTY-FIRST, TWO
THOUSAND THIRTEEN.  Subsequent appointments of members shall be made for
a  term of two 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

                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
