Title 27-A - Greater Rochester Sports Authority
2578 - Greater Rochester Sports Authority.

§ 2578. Greater Rochester sports authority. 1. There is hereby created
the Greater Rochester sports authority. The authority shall be a body
corporate and politic constituting a public benefit corporation. The
authority shall consist of three members. Two of such members shall be
appointed by the county executive with the advice and consent of the
county legislature and who shall serve at the pleasure of the county
executive, and one of such members shall be appointed by the city mayor
with the advice and consent of the city council, and shall serve at the
pleasure of the city mayor.

2. All members shall continue to hold office until their successors
are appointed and qualify. Vacancies shall be filled in the manner
provided for original appointments. Members may be removed from office
for the same reasons and in the same manner as may be provided by law
for the removal of officers of a county. The members of the authority
shall receive no compensation for their services but shall be reimbursed
for all other actual and necessary expenses incurred in connection with
the carrying out of the purposes of this title. The powers of the
authority shall be vested in and be exercised by the members of the
authority at a meeting duly called and held and a majority of members
shall constitute a quorum. Except as hereafter provided, no action shall
be taken except pursuant to the affirmative vote of at least two voting
members. The board shall appoint from its members a chairperson,
vice-chairperson, and a treasurer and may delegate to one or more of its
members, officers, agents or employees, such powers and duties as it may
deem proper.

3. Notwithstanding any inconsistent provision of any general, special
or local law, ordinance, resolution or charter, no officer, member or
employee of the state or of any public corporation 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.

4. The authority shall be perpetual in duration, unless 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 its
rights and property shall pass to and be vested in such municipality or
legal entity as provided in said law.

5. 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 county 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.

6. Nothing in this title shall be construed to obligate the state in
any way in connection with the operation or obligations of the
authority.
