* §  1599-c.  Schenectady parking authority. 1. A board to be known as
  "Schenectady Parking Authority" is hereby created. Such board shall be a
  body corporate and politic, constituting a public  benefit  corporation,
  and  its existence shall commence upon the appointment of the members as
  herein provided. It shall consist of a chairman and four other  members,
  who  shall be appointed by the mayor, with the advice and consent of the
  city council. Of the members first appointed, one shall be appointed for
  a period of one year, one for a period of two years, one for a period of
  three years, one for a period of four years, and one  for  a  period  of
  five  years.  At  the  expiration  of such terms, the terms of office of
  their successors shall be five years.  Each  member  shall  continue  to
  serve until the appointment and qualification of his successor. A member
  may  be  removed  at  will  by  the  mayor with the approval of the city
  council, 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 day's notice. Vacancies in such board occurring otherwise than
  by the expiration of term shall be filled for the unexpired term by  the
  mayor,  with  the advice and consent of the city council. The members of
  the board shall choose from their number a vice-chairman and such  other
  officers  deemed  desirable by the board. 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. Such board and its corporate existence shall continue  only
  for  a period of fifteen years, and thereafter until all its liabilities
  and duties have been met, and its bonds have been paid in full  or  such
  liabilities and duties or bonds have otherwise been discharged. Upon its
  ceasing to exist, all its rights and properties shall pass to the city.
2.  No  public officer or employee shall be ineligible for appointment
  as a member or officer of  the  authority  and  any  public  officer  or
  employee  may  accept  such appointment and serve as a member or officer
  without forfeiture of any other public  office  or  position  of  public
  employment by reason thereof. Any one or more members or officers of the
  authority  may  be an officer or employee of the city. In the event that
  an officer or employee of the city shall be appointed  as  a  member  or
  officer  of  the  authority, acceptance or retention of such appointment
  shall not be deemed a forfeiture of his city office  or  employment,  or
  incompatible therewith or affect his tenure or compensation in any way.
3.  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 Schenectady and the state of
  New York, 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.
