§ 534-c. New York waterfront commission established. 1. There is
hereby created the New York waterfront commission, which shall be in the
executive department of this state and may request, receive, and utilize
facilities, resources and data of any department, division, board,
bureau, commission, agency or public authority of the state or any
political subdivision thereof as it may reasonably request to carry out
properly its powers and duties.

2. The commission shall consist of the commissioner appointed by the
governor with the advice and consent of the senate, and shall receive
compensation to be fixed by the governor of this state. The term of
office of such commissioner shall be for three years; provided, however,
that a commissioner serving on the bi-state commission at the time of
its dissolution on the seventeenth of July two thousand twenty-three who
was appointed by the governor of New York to such position, may serve as
acting commissioner of the New York waterfront commission until such
time as a commissioner is appointed by the governor, with the advice and
consent of the senate, pursuant to this subdivision. A commissioner
shall hold office until that commissioner's successor has been appointed
and qualified. Vacancies in office shall be filled for the balance of
the unexpired term in the same manner as original appointments.

3. A commissioner may, by written instrument filed in the office of
the commission, designate any officer or employee of the commission to
act in that commissioner's place. A vacancy in the office of a
commissioner shall not impair such designation until the vacancy shall
have been filled.
