BILL NUMBER:A10164
Title of bill
An act to amend the general municipal law, in relation to amending certain references to the city manager
Purpose
This legislation would change the term "City Manager" to "Mayor" in relation to who is designated to be the administrative head and executive secretary of the Schenectady Urban Renewal Agency.
Summary
This legislation would make a technical adjustment to the New York State General Municipal Law Article 15-B Title 100 Section 668 by changing the term "City Manager" to the word "Mayor".
Justification
The City of Schenectady's Urban Renewal Agency was created at a time when there was a City Manager, which is reflected in current law. As this position no longer exists and as the Urban Renewal Agency becomes more active in redevelopment, replacing the term "City Manager" with the word "Mayor" is necessary to ensure the Agency acts within its legal parameters. This legislation would amend the discrepancy in order to solidify proper oversight of the Agency.
