2006 New York Code - White Plains Parking Authority.

 
    §  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.
