[Adopted 2-12-2002 by L.L. No. 2-2002]
The Board of Trustees finds that, due to the
relatively small population of the Village of Dobbs Ferry, it is not
always possible to fill certain appointive offices in Village government
requiring municipal, administrative or financial expertise with Village
residents who are duly qualified to hold such positions. The Board
further finds that it is authorized to appoint qualified residents
of Westchester County outside of the Village to said offices pursuant
to § 3-300 of the Village Law. The Board further finds that
it is authorized under said § 3-300 of the Village Law and
§ 10 of the Municipal Home Rule Law to expand such residency
requirements to allow residents of Westchester County to be eligible
for appointment to said offices and that such eligibility is appropriate
when a qualified person who is a Village resident is unavailable.
Notwithstanding any other general or special
law, no person shall be eligible to be appointed to or hold office
of the Village Clerk, Deputy Clerk, Village Treasurer or Deputy Treasurer
in the Village of Dobbs Ferry unless such person is a resident of
the Village or a resident of Westchester County at the time of such
appointment.
This article shall take effect immediately upon
filing with the Secretary of the State of New York and shall apply
to all persons currently holding the positions of Village Clerk, Deputy
Clerk, Village Treasurer and Deputy Treasurer as well as any persons
hereafter appointed to fill such offices.
