Editor's Note: This local law also superseded former Ch. 4, Administrator, Village, adopted 11-23-2010 by L.L. No. 8-2010.
In order to provide economical and efficient, overall direction, coordination and control of the day-to-day activities of the Village of Chittenango, to provide centralized direction and control of Village employees, to reduce the attention to administrative details currently performed by the Mayor and Trustees, and to enable the Mayor and Trustees to have greater opportunity for the proper consideration of policy matters, the position of Village Administrator is hereby established for the Village of Chittenango. To avoid disruption of Village business during periods of temporary absences or temporary disability of the Village Administrator, the position of Acting Village Administrator is hereby authorized.
Pursuant to Village Law § 3-301(2)(c), and upon a determination that the best interests of the Village would be served by the appointment of a Village Administrator, a Village Administrator may be appointed by the Mayor, subject to approval by the Board of Trustees. A Village Administrator shall serve for a term of up to four year, to coincide with the term of the Mayor for whose term the Administrator is appointed. The person designated as Village Administrator must be, or must become within four months of taking office, a legal resident of the Village of Chittenango. The position shall be exempt, unclassified and noncompetitive. In the case of vacancy in this office, and upon direction to fill the vacancy by the Board of Trustees, the Mayor shall appoint another Village resident, or person who must become a Village resident within four months of appointment, to fulfill the remaining term of the Village Administrator [Village Law § 3-312(3)(a)]. The Board of Trustees shall fix the compensation of the Village Administrator.
The Village Administrator shall report to, and be under the supervision of, the Mayor and the Board of Trustees. During the temporary absence or disability of the Village Administrator, and upon approval by the Board of Trustees, the Mayor may designate any properly qualified person as Acting Village Administrator, only to act during the period of the absence or disability of the Village Administrator. In that event, the Board of Trustees shall fix the compensation of the Acting Village Administrator.
Perform and discharge such other duties and responsibilities as may, from time to time, be assigned by the Mayor and Board of Trustees.
Nothing herein shall be deemed or construed as transferring or limiting, in any way, any powers, duties or responsibilities of the Mayor, Trustees, or other Village officers or employees, as are prescribed by the law, rule and regulation of the State of New York, or by the policies, orders, rules, regulations, resolutions or local laws of the Village of Chittenango.
