[Adopted 7-24-2003 by L.L. No. 3-2003]
This article shall be entitled "Local Law of 2003 Establishing Procedures
for the Discipline of an Appointed Official of the Village of Poquott."
The purpose and intent of this article is to establish a procedure whereby
certain appointed public officers in the Village of Poquott may be afforded
a due process hearing in the event a need arises for the Village of Poquott
to pursue disciplinary charges against such an officer.
A person holding an appointed public office in the Village of Poquott
in the noncompetitive or exempt class of civil service may be disciplined
by the officer or body having the power of appointment in accordance with
the procedure set forth in subdivision 2 of Section 75 of the Civil Service
Law, as it existed on January 1, 1992.
No proceeding pursuant to this article shall be commenced more than
two years after alleged incompetence or misconduct has occurred or has become
known to the appointing authority. This limitation shall not apply where the
alleged incompetency or misconduct would, if proven in a judicial proceeding,
constitute a crime.
The determination rendered by the appointing authority pursuant to this
article shall constitute a final determination of the Village of Poquott and
may be reviewed upon a petition filed in accordance with the provisions of
Article 78 of the Civil Practice Laws and Rules.
