[Opinion Summary] 1995-11 [Related Statues] NY CONSTITUTION, ART IX § 2(h); NY CONSTITUTION, ART III § 26 (1935); ALTERNATIVE COUNTY GOVERNMENT LAW § 656(2); MUNICIPAL HOME RULE LAW §§ 10, 10(1)(ii)(a)(1), 10(1)(ii)(b)(3) AND (4), 23(2)(f), 33(1) AND (2); L 1952, CH 834; L 1937, CH 862 [3] PDF [Abstract] 
A county board of supervisors in a non-charter county may by local law establish the position of county administrator. Further, if the local law does not transfer, curtail or abolish the powers of an elective officer, it would not be subject to a mandatory referendum. In that the Municipal Home Rule Law, rather than the Alternative County Government Law, is the source of authority for the enactment, the latter would not require a referendum.
