[Adopted 3-8-1995 by L.L. No. 3-1995]
This article is intended to modify the provisions of § 23
of the Town Law and § 3 of the Public Officers Law or any other
provision of law requiring a person to be a resident of a political subdivision
or municipal corporation of the state for which he or she shall be chosen
or within which his or her official functions are required to be exercised
so that the duly appointed Code Enforcement/Zoning Officer of the Town of
Jerusalem may reside in any Town in Yates County or in any county adjacent
to Yates County.
The provisions of § 23 of the Town Law and § 3 of
the Public Officers Law or any other provision of law requiring a person to
be a resident of the political subdivision or municipal corporation of the
state for which he or she shall be chosen or within which his or her official
functions are required to be exercised are waived to the extent that such
provisions shall not prevent a person duly licensed as a building inspector
or code enforcement officer in the State of New York from holding office in
the Town of Jerusalem and shall not prevent a person duly appointed as Code
Enforcement/Zoning Officer in the Town of Jerusalem from serving as Code Enforcement/Zoning
Officer in the Town of Jerusalem as long as all other qualifications contained
in § 23 of the Town Law and § 3 of the Public Officers
Law are satisfied by the appointee to such office.
[Adopted 12-17-2002 by L.L. No. 1-2002]
Notwithstanding the provisions of § 3 of the Public Officers
Law of the State of New York, it shall not be required that any persons who
shall be appointed to the position of Deputy Town Clerk shall be a resident
of the Town of Jerusalem; provided, however, that no person shall be eligible
to serve as Deputy Town Clerk who shall not be a resident of the County of
Yates.
This article is adopted pursuant to the provisions of § 10
of the Municipal Home Rule Law of the State of New York, which provides that
a town may adopt a local law superseding a state law regarding the qualifications
of its officers and employees unless the state law is a general law.
