the terms of local officers.
The terms of office of the Village Treasurer and Village Clerk

Rochester that are inconsistent with the provisions of this article
are hereby repealed; provided, however, that such repeal shall only
be to the extent of such inconsistency and in all other respects this
article shall be in addition to such other local laws or ordinances
regulating and governing the subject matter covered by this article.
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, word, section or part of
this local law shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction
to be unconstitutional, illegal or invalid, such judgment shall not
affect, impair or invalidate the remainder thereof, but shall be confined
in its operation to the clause, sentence, paragraph, word, section
or part thereof directly involved in the controversy in which such
judgment shall have been rendered.
This article is adopted subject to permissive referendum, and
shall become effective upon filing with the Department of State as
required by the Municipal Home Rule Law following the expiration of
