    Creation of the position of Town Comptroller - Reorganization Meeting

    Minutes are here: http://www.westseneca.net/sites/defa...0108111120.pdf

    I noticed that they created the position of Town Comptroller. I believe this needs to be approved by the voters by a mandatory referendum since it transfers power of the Town Board, Supervisor and Town Clerk to that position. Municipal Home Rule Law § 23(2)(f) provides that any act that "Abolishes, transfers or curtails any power of an elective officer" is subject to a mandatory referendum.
