§ 2753. Monroe county airport authority. 1. There is hereby created
the Monroe county airport authority. The authority shall be a body

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-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.
