§ 534-c. New York waterfront commission established. 1. There is hereby created the New York waterfront commission, which shall be in the executive department of this state and may request, receive, and utilize facilities, resources and data of any department, division, board, bureau, commission, agency or public authority of the state or any political subdivision thereof as it may reasonably request to carry out properly its powers and duties. 2. The commission shall consist of the commissioner appointed by the governor with the advice and consent of the senate, and shall receive compensation to be fixed by the governor of this state. The term of office of such commissioner shall be for three years; provided, however, that a commissioner serving on the bi-state commission at the time of its dissolution on the seventeenth of July two thousand twenty-three who was appointed by the governor of New York to such position, may serve as acting commissioner of the New York waterfront commission until such time as a commissioner is appointed by the governor, with the advice and consent of the senate, pursuant to this subdivision. A commissioner shall hold office until that commissioner's successor has been appointed and qualified. Vacancies in office shall be filled for the balance of the unexpired term in the same manner as original appointments. 3. A commissioner may, by written instrument filed in the office of the commission, designate any officer or employee of the commission to act in that commissioner's place. A vacancy in the office of a commissioner shall not impair such designation until the vacancy shall have been filled.
