    § 329. Option to change to sole elected assessor. In any city or town
  where  the  option  to  retain  elective  assessors  was  exercised   in
  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  former  section  fifteen  hundred
  fifty-six of this chapter, the legislative body of such city or town may
  adopt a local law providing that from and after the first day of January
  first following the next biennial  or  general  election  at  which  the
  electors would vote for an assessor, there shall be but one assessor, to
  be  elected  at  that election. The legislative body, in its discretion,
  may determine that a local law adopted pursuant to this section shall be
  subject to a permissive referendum in the manner prescribed  in  section
  twenty-four  of the municipal home rule law. On December thirty-first of
  the year in which the assessor is elected to serve a six-year term,  the
  term or terms of office of all assessors then in office shall terminate.
