In any city or town which has retained the office of elective assessor, the legislative body of such city or town may adopt a local law providing that from and after a date set forth in such local law, which date must be within one year after the date on which such local law was adopted, there shall be but one assessor, to be appointed as provided in section three hundred ten of this title. The legislative body, in its discretion, may determine that a local law adopted pursuant to this section shall be subject to a mandatory or permissive referendum, or not subject to a referendum.
