* §  2463.  New  York  state  sports  authority. 1. For the purpose of   effectuating  the  policy  declared  in  section   twenty-four   hundred   sixty-one   of  this  chapter,  there  is  hereby  created  a  corporate   instrumentality of the state to be  known  as  "New  York  state  sports   authority"  in this title referred to as "the authority", which shall be   a body corporate and politic constituting a public benefit  corporation.   The  authority  shall  consist  of  five  members to be appointed by the   governor, by and with the advice and  consent  of  the  senate.  Of  the   members  first appointed, one shall serve for a term ending April first,   nineteen hundred seventy-four; one of such members  shall  serve  for  a   term ending one year from such date; one of such members shall serve for   a  term ending two years from such date; one of such members shall serve   for a term ending three years from such date; and one  of  such  members   shall  serve  for  a  term  ending  four  years  from  such  date. Their   successors shall serve for terms of five years each. Each  member  shall   hold  office  until  his successor has been appointed and qualified. The   governor shall designate one of the members to be chairman who shall  be   the chief executive officer of the authority.2.  The  chairman  and  the  other  members shall receive compensation   within the  amounts  made  available  by  appropriation  therefor.  Each   member,  including  the chairman, shall be entitled to reimbursement for   his actual and necessary expenses incurred in  the  performance  of  his   official duties.3.  The chairman shall be the chief executive officer of the authority   and shall  be  responsible  for  the  discharge  of  the  executive  and   administrative  functions  and  powers of the authority, but he shall be   empowered to delegate any one or  more  of  such  functions  or  powers,   including,  without  limitations,  that  of  appointment, discipline and   removal of officers or employees, to  one  or  more  executive  officers   appointed by the board.4.  The  authority  shall  be  a  "state  agency"  for the purposes of   sections seventy-three and seventy-four of the public officers law.5. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provisions of this  or  any  other   law,  general, special or local, no officer or employee of the state, or   of any public corporation as defined in  the  general  corporation  law,   shall  be  deemed  to  have  forfeited  or  shall  forfeit his office or   employment or any benefits provided  under  the  retirement  and  social   security  law  or  under  any public retirement system maintained by the   state or any  of  its  subdivisions  by  reason  of  his  acceptance  of   membership  on  or  chairmanship  of the authority; provided, however, a   member or chairman who holds such  other  public  office  or  employment   shall  receive no additional compensation for services rendered pursuant   to this title, but shall be entitled to reimbursement for his actual and   necessary expenses incurred in the performance of such services.6. The governor may remove any member  for  inefficiency,  neglect  of   duty  or  misconduct  in  office  after giving him a copy of the charges   against him and an opportunity to be heard, in person or by  counsel  in   his defense, upon not less than ten days' notice. If any member shall be   so  removed,  the governor shall file in the office of the department of   state a complete statement of charges made against such member, and  his   findings thereon, together with a complete record of the proceedings.7.  The  authority  shall  continue  so long as it shall have bonds or   other  obligations  outstanding  and  until  its  existence   shall   be   terminated  by  law.  Upon  the  termination  of  the  existence  of the   authority, all its rights and properties shall pass to and be vested  in   the state.* NB (Disbanded March, 1980)
