§  1427.  White  Plains  parking  authority. 1. A board to be known as   "White Plains parking authority" is hereby created. Such board shall  be   a body corporate and politic, constituting a public benefit corporation.   It  shall  consist  of  a  chairman  and six other members, who shall be   appointed by the mayor of the city. On or before the first day of  July,   nineteen  hundred  eighty, the mayor shall appoint four members, two for   terms of office expiring on the thirtieth day of June, nineteen  hundred   eighty-two, and two for terms of office expiring on the thirtieth day of   June,  nineteen  hundred  eighty-three.    The two members appointed for   terms of office expiring on the thirtieth day of June, nineteen  hundred   eighty-two,  shall be deemed to have been appointed to fill two existing   vacancies in such board occurring by the  expiration  of  the  terms  of   office  of  two  members  heretofore appointed for terms expiring on the   thirtieth day of June, nineteen  hundred  seventy-nine.  Each  of  three   members  whose  term  of  office  expires  on the thirtieth day of June,   nineteen hundred eighty-one, shall continue to serve until such date  or   until  the  appointment and qualification of his successor. The terms of   office of all successor members shall be three years, so that  the  term   of  office  of  one-third  of such members, as nearly as possible, shall   expire on the thirtieth day of June in  each  year.  Each  member  shall   continue  to  serve  until  the  appointment  and  qualification  of his   successor. Vacancies in such  board  occurring  otherwise  than  by  the   expiration  of  term shall be filled for the unexpired term. The members   of the board shall choose from their number a vice-chairman.  The  mayor   may  remove any member of the board for inefficiency, neglect of duty or   misconduct in office, giving him a copy of the charges against  him  and   an  opportunity  of being heard in person, or by counsel, in his defense   upon not less than ten days' notice. The members of the board  shall  be   entitled  to no compensation for their services but shall be entitled to   reimbursement for their actual and necessary expenses  incurred  in  the   performance  of their official duties. The powers of the authority shall   be vested in and exercised by a majority of the  members  of  the  board   then  in office.   Such board may delegate to one or more of its members   or to its officers, agents and employees such powers and  duties  as  it   may deem proper.2.  It  is  hereby  determined and declared that the authority and the   carrying out of its powers, purposes, and duties are in all respects for   the benefit of the people of the city of White Plains and the  state  of   New  York,  for  the improvement of their health, welfare and prosperity   and that said purposes are public purposes and that the authority is and   will be performing an essential governmental function in the exercise of   the powers conferred upon it by this title.
