Biographical history
The Village of Mayo was incorporated in 1984, under the Yukon Municipal Act and Yukon Territorial Government Order-in Council 1984/272. Local Improvement District operating under the Yukon Territorial Government. The Commissioners maintained some control over the district, while the LID assumed responsibility for the community's street maintenance, water and sewer system, dog control and fire protection. The Board consisted of three trustees appointed by the Commissioner for terms of one, two and three years. As each term expired a new board member would be elected. In 1977, amendments to the Local Improvement District Ordinance led to a restructuring of Mayo's Board of Trustees. From 1978, five trustees were elected for terms of two years. Initially, a secretary/treasurer was hired to administer the office. After restructuring in 1977, the LID's sphere of responsibility grew to include adopting zoning by-laws, levying property taxes and administering the employment of office staff, public works employees and a town Administrator or Manager. Oliver F. Hutton (1968); Richard Wallingham (1968); Wilfred R. Gordon (1968).
