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 hear-
ing  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] ONE HUNDRED FIFTY
DOLLARS FOR EACH BOARD  MEETING  ATTENDED,  AND  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.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
