     3  follows:
     4    1. A public corporation, to be  known  as  the  "Orange  county  water
     5  authority"  is  hereby  created for the public purposes and charged with
     6  the duties and having the powers provided in this title.  The  authority
     7  shall  be  a  body  corporate  and politic constituting a public benefit
     8  corporation and shall be a "public district"  for  purposes  of  section
     9  eighty-nine-l  of  the  public  service law, the objects of which in the
    10  judgment of the legislature cannot be attained under  general  laws.  It
    11  shall  consist  of  [five]  seven members, who shall be residents of the
    12  county and  be  appointed  by  the  county  executive.  All  members  so

    13  appointed  shall  be  subject to confirmation by the county legislature.
    14  The first members appointed by the county executive shall  be  appointed
    15  for  the  following  terms  of office: two for a term ending on December
    16  thirty-first of the second year following the year in which  this  title
    17  shall  have  become law; [and] three for a term ending on December thir-

     3  from  office  for  the  same  reasons  and  in the same manner as may be

     5  of the authority shall receive no compensation for their  services,  but

    12  ing body may delegate to one or more of its members, officers, agents or
    13  employees such powers and duties as it may deem proper.
    14    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
