(1) the name of the authority;
(2) the names of the members appointed by the town board and their
terms of office; and
(3) the effective date of this title. The authority shall be perpetual
in duration, except that 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. The town supervisor may file in the
office of the secretary of state an amended certificate signed by him or
her setting forth any change in the name of the authority. The failure
of the town supervisor to file an amended certificate shall not in any
way affect the corporate existence of the authority.

authority and its corporate existence shall continue until terminated by
law, provided, however, that no such law shall take effect so long as
the authority shall have bonds or other obligations outstanding unless
adequate provision has been made for the payment or satisfaction
thereof. Upon termination of the existence of the authority, all of the
rights and properties of the authority then remaining shall pass to and
vest in the town.
6. Neither the public service commission nor any other board or
commission of like character, shall have jurisdiction over the authority
in the management and control of its properties or operations or any
power over the regulations of rates fixed or charges collected by the
authority.
7. It is hereby determined and declared, that the authority and the
carrying out of its powers and duties are in all respects for the
benefit of the people of the town and the state for the improvement of
their health, welfare and prosperity and that such 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.
8. In carrying out its functions the authority shall take into
consideration the local zoning and planning regulations as well as local
comprehensive land use plans.
