A Public Hearing was held on September 12, 1984 at 7:00 P.M. on proposed Local Law #3 entitled "A Local Law abolishing the office of Chief of Police and establishing the office of Police Colissioner'. Present: Nayor Synnett, Tr. Greco, Tr. Cioppa, Tr. Costa, Tr. Nazochi, Tr. Carey, Tr. Boyle, Atty. Reilly, & Treasurer Ca~ptlii. Atty. Supple reported local law proposes to do just what the title states. The Office of Chief of Police is ncw vacant, and abolishin~ it therefore will not result in the dis~issal of any current employee. The office of Police Conmissioner, which is being created, w~ll be a part-~ise position~ with the incumbent having all of the powers and performing the duties previously assigned to the Chief of Police. The Attorney General has fulled that a Single local law may abolish the one office and created the second, as here proposed. In addition, the Civil Service Law requires approval o£ any ne~e position by the local Civil Service Colission, and the position of Com~isioner of Police has accordingly been ~pproved by the Dutchess County Department of Personnel, The classification of the position is non-competitive, based upon the Village determination that the Job will be part-ti~e. It should be noted~ however,.that if the person appointed to this position works more than 20 hr. wk., the non- competitive classification will be in jeopardy. No one present voiced an opinion pro or con said local law. Public H0. closed at 7:30 P.M.
