§ 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.
