[Adopted 9-16-2003 by L.L. No. 2-2003]
The territorial limits of the Incorporated Village of Roslyn Harbor
constitute approximately one square mile with a total population of less than
3,000 residents. In recognition of the fact that a village the size of Roslyn
Harbor may experience difficulties in obtaining the most qualified individuals
to serve as village officers, § 3-300, Subdivision 2, of the Village
Law provides that the Board of Trustees of a village with a population of
less than 3,000 may provide, in lieu of any other residency requirement imposed
by law, that the Village Justice may reside within a county in which the village
is wholly or partially situated. In order to provide the residents of the
Village with the greatest choice of qualified individuals to be elected to
the office of Village Justice, the Board of Trustees adopts this article permitting
a Village Justice to be a resident of Nassau County.
In accordance with the provisions of § 3-300, Subdivision
2, of the Village Law of the State of New York, and in lieu of any other residency
requirement imposed by law, the Board of Trustees declares that the Village
Justice of the Incorporated Village of Roslyn Harbor must be a resident of
the County of Nassau, New York.
