A 8585 New York Assembly · 2023 Regular Session

Relates to appointing instead of electing a treasurer for the park district in the town of Southold, county of Suffolk

This bill changes how the park district in Southold, Suffolk County, selects its financial officer by replacing an election with an appointment process. Under the new rules, the elected park commissioners will directly choose the treasurer rather than having the public vote for the position. The appointed treasurer will manage the district's funds and must provide security before starting their duties, following the same timeline and vacancy procedures as before. This shift gives the elected board more direct control over the selection of the person handling the district's money.
