The board shall consist of nine members, seven of   whom shall be residents of the city of Oswego and one of whom shall be a   resident of the town of Scriba, with at least one thereof being a member   of or recommended by the county planning board of the county  of  Oswego   commencing  with  the  expiration of the term occurring first after July   first nineteen hundred seventy-five. The terms of office of all  members   of   the   authority   heretofore  appointed  and  in  office  on  March   thirty-first, nineteen hundred sixty, shall expire and terminate on such   date, provided, however, that they shall  continue  in  office  as  such   until  the  members first to be appointed by the governor as hereinafter   in this section provided shall  have  qualified.  The  members  of  said   authority shall be appointed by the governor, by and with the advice and   consent  of  the  senate. Of the members first appointed by the governor   two members shall be  appointed  for  a  term  ending  September  first,   nineteen  hundred  sixty-one,  two  for  terms  ending  September first,   nineteen hundred  sixty-two,  two  for  terms  ending  September  first,   nineteen hundred sixty-three, and one for a term ending September first,   nineteen  hundred  sixty-four.  Any  member appointed by the governor to   fill any newly created membership on the board shall be appointed for  a   term  ending on the first day of September nineteen hundred seventy-six.   Thereafter, upon the expiration of the term of  a  member,  a  successor   shall  be appointed by the governor for a term expiring four years after   the expiration of the term of his predecessor. If a vacancy shall  occur   by  reason  of  a  death,  disqualification, resignation or removal of a   member, the successor  shall  be  appointed  by  the  governor  for  the   unexpired term. The members of the authority shall, before entering upon   the  duties  of their office, take the constitutional oath of office and   file the same in the office of the secretary  of  state.  The  authority   shall  organize  by  the  selection from its members of a chairman, vice   chairman, and a secretary. It shall adopt such  rules  as  it  may  deem   necessary  and  proper for the government of its own proceedings and the   regulation and use of port facilities and  industrial  projects  in  the   district,  and  shall keep a record of its proceedings. Rules pertaining   to the regulation and use of port  facilities  and  industrial  projects   shall be fair, reasonable and impartial and shall be subject to any law,   rule or regulation administered by the interstate commerce commission or   the  public service commission or the water resources commission, or any   other department or commission of the United States of America or of the   state of New York, which has the jurisdiction in such matters and  shall   not  operate to deprive any person or corporation, private or public, of   any property without due process of law. A majority of  the  members  of   the  authority shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business   and the concurrence of a majority of all members shall be  necessary  to   the  validity  of any order of the authority. A member may be removed by   the governor for cause after giving such member a copy  of  the  charges   and  an  opportunity  to  be heard thereon. The members of the authority   shall serve without compensation but shall be entitled to  reimbursement   of  their  actual  and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of   their official duties.
