§ 878. Genesee Valley Regional Market Authority. 1. A board to be known as the "Genesee Valley Regional Market Authority" is hereby created. Such board shall be a body corporate and politic, constituting a public benefit corporation. 2. The board shall consist of fifteen members, as follows: (a) The commissioner of agriculture and markets, or his representative designated in writing by him, shall be a member ex officio. (b) The county legislative body of each county shall appoint the number of members as follows, who shall be residents of the county: Monroe county, three members; Livingston county, two members; Ontario county, two members; Wayne county, two members who shall be residents of that part of Wayne county lying west of the new pre-emption line; Genesee county, one member; Orleans county, one member; Steuben county, one member; Wyoming county, one member; and Yates county, one member. 3. One member of the board from each county may be either a producer or non-producer of agricultural products; other members from each county, if any, shall be persons engaged in farming and deriving a greater part of their income therefrom; provided, however, that all persons appointed as members of the board after May first, nineteen hundred sixty-one, shall be producers of agricultural products who actually sell all or part of their produce at regional market facilities maintained and operated by the Genesee Valley Regional Market Authority. 4. A member of the board shall continue in office during the pleasure of the body appointing him or her. Any vacancy which may occur by reason of the death, disqualification, resignation or removal of a member shall be filled by the body which appointed such member. Each member of the board shall, before entering upon the duties of office, take the constitutional oath of office and file the same in the office of the secretary of state. Any member may be removed by the governor for inefficiency, neglect of duty or misconduct in office, after a hearing upon charges and an opportunity to be heard in person or by counsel upon not less than ten days' notice. The members of the board shall not receive a salary or other compensation, but shall be paid actual expenses incurred in attending meetings of the board and executive committee and in performing committee work assigned to them by the board, and shall be reimbursed for travel expenses at the per mile rate allowed state employees for use of personal vehicles. The powers of the authority shall be vested in and exercised by the board and the provisions of section forty-one of the general construction law shall apply; provided that the 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. 5. At the first meeting of the board, the board shall choose from their number a chairman, vice-chairman, secretary, and treasurer who shall serve during the pleasure of the board. Before entering upon the duties of his office the treasurer shall execute to the authority and file with the secretary of the authority a bond in such sum and with such sureties as the board shall direct and approve. The board may at any time require the treasurer to file a new bond for such sum and with such sureties as the board shall approve. In the event the surety on any such bond is a surety company authorized to transact business in the state of New York the expense of procuring such surety, not exceeding one per centum per annum upon the sum for which the bond is given, shall be a charge against the authority.
