§ 1570-b. Harrison parking authority. 1. A board to be known as "Harrison parking authority" is hereby created. Such board shall be a body corporate, constituting a public benefit corporation, and its existence shall commence upon the appointment of the members as provided in this section. It shall consist of a chairperson, who shall be appointed by the mayor of the village and the village board of trustees, and four board members, who shall be appointed by the mayor of the village and the village board of trustees. Each member shall continue to serve until the appointment and qualification of his or her 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-chairperson. The mayor of the village may remove any member of the board for neglect of duty or misconduct in office, giving such member a copy of the charges against him or her and an opportunity of being heard in person, or by counsel, in his or her 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. 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 until December thirty-first, two thousand fifty-four, and thereafter until all its liabilities have been met and its bonds have been paid in full, or such liabilities or bonds have otherwise been discharged. Upon its ceasing to exist, all its rights and properties shall pass to the village. 2. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provisions of any general, special or local law, ordinance, resolution or charter, no officer, member or employee of the state or of any public authority shall forfeit his or her office or employment by reason of his or her acceptance of appointment as a member, officer or employee of the authority, nor shall service as such member, officer or employee be deemed incompatible or in conflict with such office, membership or employment. 3. The mayor of the village shall file on or before December thirty-first of the year in which this title shall take effect, in the office of the secretary of state, a certificate signed by the mayor setting forth:(a) the name of the authority;
(b) the names of the members of the board and their terms of office; and
(c) the effective date of this title. If such certificate is not filed with the secretary of state on or before such date, then the corporate existence of the authority shall thereupon terminate and it shall thereupon be deemed to be and shall be dissolved.
