Four of  the  members  appointed  by  the  governor  shall  be   appointed  on the written recommendation of the mayor of the city of New   York. One of the directors shall be designated by the governor as  chair   of  the  board  of  directors  to  serve  as such at the pleasure of the   governor. Upon recommendation of the chair of the  board  of  directors,   the  board  of  directors  shall  appoint  an  executive director of the   corporation.  Notwithstanding  any  general,  special   or   local   law   concerning  the  holding  of dual offices, an officer or employee of the   state may be appointed as an officer or employee of the corporation, and   officers and employees of the state may be appointed as members  of  the   board  of directors of the corporation, provided however, that the chair   of the board of directors shall not be an officer  or  employee  of  the   corporation,  and the executive director of the corporation shall not be   a member of the board of directors.2. Directors of the corporation shall be appointed for a term of three   years from the effective date of their appointments, provided,  however,   that  two  persons  first appointed by the governor other than the chair   shall have a two  year  term;  three  persons  first  appointed  by  the   governor  other  than  the  chair  shall  have a one year term; the four   persons appointed on the recommendation of the mayor of the city of  New   York  shall have a term coterminous with the term of office of the mayor   of the city of New York appointing them, one person first  appointed  by   the  temporary  president  of the senate shall have a two year term; the   person first appointed by the minority leader of the senate shall have a   one year term; one person first appointed by the speaker of the assembly   shall have a two year term;  and  the  person  first  appointed  by  the   minority  leader  of  the assembly shall have a one year term except for   those appointed on the recommendation of the  mayor  whose  terms  shall   expire  at  the expiration of the term of the mayor appointing them. The   terms of office of their successors shall be three years. All  directors   shall continue to hold office until their successors have been appointed   and  qualified.  If  at any time there is a vacancy in the membership of   the board of directors by reason of death, resignation, disqualification   or otherwise, such vacancy shall be filled for the unexpired term in the   same manner as the original appointment.3. A majority of the appointed  voting  membership  of  the  board  of   directors  shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of any business   or the exercise of any power of  the  corporation.  The  powers  of  the   corporation  shall  be  exercised,  or  may  be delegated to one or more   directors, officers, agents or employees, by a majority of the appointed   voting membership of the board of directors. No  vote  at  such  meeting   shall be cast by proxy.4.  The  directors, other than any officer of the corporation who also   serves  as  a  director,  shall  serve  without  a   salary   or   other   compensation,  but  each director shall be entitled to reimbursement for   expenses incurred in the performance of official duties.5. The governor may remove any member of the board for cause, provided   that such member be first furnished with a list of charges  against  him    and  given an opportunity to be heard, in person or by counsel, upon not   less than ten days' notice.6.  The  fiscal year of the corporation shall end on the date on which   the fiscal year of the state ends.7. The existence of the corporation shall continue until terminated by   law, provided, however, that no such law shall take effect  so  long  as   the  corporation  shall  have  obligations  outstanding, unless adequate   provision has been made for the payment thereof.
