BoardCharter Revision Committee Meeting Minutes
The committee discussed the potential transition of the City Attorney position from an elected office to an appointed position, noting that North Tonawanda is currently the only municipality in New York State with an elected City Attorney. The discussion covered issues regarding consultant costs and potential conflicts of interest. The committee reached a consensus on several charter revisions, including effective dates and specific amendments to sections governing the appointment, duties, and qualifications of the new corporation counsel role, ultimately voting to accept these changes and submit them to the City Clerk/Treasurer.
