  expiration of the term of a member, a successor shall  be  appointed  by
  the  mayor  for  a  term expiring five 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 mayor 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 clerk of the county of St. Lawrence. 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  in  the  district,  and  shall  keep  a  record of its
  proceedings.  Rules  pertaining  to  the  regulation  and  use  of  port
  facilities  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 power and
  control 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 appointing power for cause
  after giving such member a copy of the charges and an opportunity to  be
  heard  in his own defense in person or by counsel upon not less than ten
  days' notice. The decision of the appointing power shall be  subject  to
  review  pursuant to article seventy-eight of the civil practice act. 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.
