This article is enacted to establish a procedure whereby certain appointed public officers in the Village of Pittsford may be afforded a due process hearing in the event that a need arises for the appointing authority to pursue disciplinary charges against such an officer.
A person holding an appointed public office in the Village of Pittsford may be disciplined by the officer or body having the power of appointment in accordance with the procedure set forth in Subdivision 2 of § 75 of the Civil Service Law.
A. 
If a person so appointed to public office is found guilty of disciplinary charges, the penalty to be imposed may consist of either:
(1) 
A reprimand;
(2) 
A suspension for a period not exceeding two months; or
(3) 
A termination from office.
B. 
If such appointed person is found guilty, he or she shall be provided a copy of the charges, the written answer thereto, a transcript of the hearing and the determination rendered by the appointing authority.
No proceeding pursuant to this article shall be commenced more than two years after an 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.
