of Hillburn 10-12-1977 by L.L. No. 4-1977 (Ch. 28 of the 1977
Code). Amendments noted where applicable.]
The Board of Trustees of the Village of Hillburn believes that
it is in the best interests of the citizens of the Village that a
separate commission be established for the Village which shall have
jurisdiction over parks and recreation.
The Village Board of the Village of Hillburn hereby establishes
a Parks and Recreation Commission in accordance with § 3-308
of the Village Law.
The Commission shall consist of five Commissioners, who shall
be Village residents and who shall perform their duties subject to
the approval of the Board of Trustees of the Village of Hillburn.
The Mayor, subject to approval of the Board of Trustees, shall
appoint the members of the Parks and Recreation Commission. The first
appointments shall be for terms so fixed that at least one will expire
at the end of each official year, commencing at the end of the fiscal
year in which the original appointments were made and continuing in
subsequent years until the entire original appointments run out.
Commencing with the first annual meeting following the establishment
of such Commission and continuing annually thereafter, successors
to former appointees, the term of whose offices have then expired,
shall be appointed for a full term of five years.
Upon appointment of the original five Commissioners, the Board
of Trustees shall establish the Commission's powers, duties and
responsibilities and may from time to time amend same.
