N.Y. Village Law § 18-1820: Establishment of a commission for village manager

§ 18-1820 Establishment of a commission for village manager. The board

of trustees of any village may, as an alternative to the adoption of a

local law establishing the position of village manager, adopt a local

law providing for the creation of a commission to study and prepare a

local law establishing the position of village manager and defining the

duties and responsibilities thereof. Such local law shall be subject to

a permissive referendum. The local law creating the commission shall

provide for the organization and method of procedure for such

commission, including, but not limited to, (a) the number of members of

such commission, which shall not exceed seven and of which number more

than one-half shall not be members of the board of trustees, (b) the

compensation, if any, of the members of the commission, (c) the

employment of staff or consultants, if any, and (d) the date by which

such commission shall report its recommendations to the board, which

date shall be no later than two years after the final appointment of all

members of the commission. The appointment of members of the commission,

and the filling of any vacancies on such commission, shall be made as

provided in this chapter.
