§ 7. Administration of the board. 1. The membership of the board shall
be the secretary of state, the comptroller (pursuant to his authority to
supervise the accounts of any political subdivision of the state), the
mayor and four members appointed by the governor with the advice and
consent of the senate. Such appointed members shall serve at the
pleasure of the governor. The secretary of state shall be the chairman
of the board and he or his representative shall preside over all
meetings of the board. The board shall act by majority vote of the
entire board. The board shall maintain a record of its proceedings in
such form as it may determine, but such record shall indicate attendance
and all votes cast by each member. The secretary of state and
comptroller shall be entitled to designate a representative to attend,
in his place, meetings of the board and to vote or otherwise act in his
behalf. Written notice of such designation shall be furnished to the
board by the designating member prior to any meeting attended by his
representative. Any representative shall serve at the pleasure of the
designating member. No representative shall be authorized to delegate
any of his duties or functions to any other person. The temporary
president of the senate, speaker of the assembly, minority leader of the
senate and minority leader of the assembly shall each be entitled to
appoint a representative to the board, the county executive of the
county of Westchester shall be entitled to appoint a county official as
a representative to the board and the board shall be entitled to appoint
a representative to the board to represent the employees of the city of
Yonkers. Each such representative shall be entitled to receive notice of
and to attend all meetings of the board but shall not be entitled to
vote. Each representative shall serve at the pleasure of the appointing
official or body, shall be eligible for reappointment, and shall hold
office until his successor has been appointed.

2. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provisions of law, general,
special or local, no officer or employee of the state, or political
subdivision of the state, any governmental entity operating any public
school or college or other public agency or instrumentality or unit of
government which exercises governmental powers under the laws of the
state, shall forfeit his office or employment by reason of his
acceptance or appointment as a member, representative, officer, employee
or agent of the board nor shall service as such member, representative,
officer, employee or agent of the board be deemed incompatible or in
conflict with such office or employment.

3. The members of the board appointed by the governor and all
representatives designated by members of the board shall serve without
salary or per diem allowance but shall be entitled to reimbursement by
the city for actual and necessary expenses incurred in the performance
of official duties under this act, provided, however, that such members
and representatives are not, at the time such expenses are incurred,
public employees otherwise entitled to such reimbursement.

4. The board may delegate to one or more of its officers, employees or
agents, such powers and duties as the board may deem proper, except any
duties inconsistent with the duties and functions prescribed by any
other office or position any such person may hold.
