(2) The mayor shall designate a chairman and a vice-chairman from
among the trustees. The chairman shall preside over all meetings of the
trustees and shall have such other duties as the trustees of the fund
may direct. The vice-chairman shall preside over all meetings of the
trustees in the absence of the chairman and shall have such other duties
as the trustees of the fund may direct.
(3) The trustees of the fund shall serve without salary, but each
trustee shall be reimbursed for his actual and necessary expenses
incurred in the performance of his official duties as a trustee of the
fund. The trustees of the fund may engage in private employment or in a
profession or business (if not otherwise prohibited from so doing by
virtue of any other public office), subject to the limitations contained
in sections seventy-three and seventy-four of the public officers law.
The fund shall, for the purposes of such sections, be a "state agency"

special or local, no officer or employee of the state of New York, any
city, county, town or village, any other political or civil division of
the state, any municipality, any governmental entity operating any
public school or college, any school district or any other public agency
or instrumentality or unit of government which exercises governmental
powers under the laws of the state, shall forfeit his office or
employment by reason of his acceptance of appointment as a trustee,
officer or agent of the fund; nor shall service as such trustee, officer
or agent of the fund be deemed incompatible or in conflict with such
office or employment.
(5) A majority of the whole number of trustees then in office shall
constitute a quorum for the transaction of any business or the exercise
of any power of the fund. Except as otherwise specified in this title,
for the transaction of any business or the exercise of any power of the
fund, the fund shall have power to act by a majority of the trustees
present at any meeting at which a quorum is in attendance. The fund may
delegate to one or more of its trustees, or officers, agents and
employees, such powers and duties as the trustees may deem proper.
(6) The fund may appoint officers, employees, and agents as it may
require and prescribe their duties and fix their compensation, as
hereinafter provided.

activities during that year, and a report on its program for both the
