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.
