To provide constancy and greater experience
in Village government, the Board of Trustees of the Incorporated Village
of Islandia provides that the terms of office of the Mayor and the
Village Trustees be increased from two-year terms to four-year terms
pursuant to provisions of § 3-302 of the New York State
Village Law.
The terms of office of the Mayor and all Trustees
of the Village Board shall be four years. General Village elections
shall be held biennially in the odd-numbered years.[1]

Editor's Note: The local law establishing
this article provided that, since it shall become effective between
a general Village election in an odd-numbered year (1999) and 30 days
prior to a general Village election in the next even-numbered year
(2000), and provided that general Village elections shall be held
in the odd-numbered year, the successor to those offices whose term
of office expires in an even-numbered year (2000) shall, at the general
Village election preceding the expiration of such term of office,
be elected for a single three-year term and their successors shall
thereafter be elected for terms of four years.

A.Â
The position
of employee of the Village of Islandia and Village Trustee of the
Village of Islandia are compatible in that the position as an employee
of the Village of Islandia is not an appointed official as defined
in § 3-300 of the Village Law and because the position of Trustee
does not have a supervisory capacity of employee positions in the
Village of Islandia, and there shall be no requirement that a Village
of Islandia employee resign upon election as or upon serving as a
Trustee of the Village, and no Village Trustee that is employed by
the Village of Islandia shall be required to resign or terminate that
employment in order to serve or continue to serve as a Trustee of
the Village of Islandia.
