The services provided by officers of the Town have become more
and more complex over recent years and many positions, such as Code
Enforcement Officer, require extensive special training. In order
to facilitate the provision of quality services at a reasonable cost,
the Town of Pompey desires, to the maximum extent possible, to share
services with other municipalities. Accordingly, it is necessary to
relax the residency requirements of the Town Law.
Effective with the effective date of this chapter, any appointed
officer of the Town of Pompey can be a resident of any adjacent Town
in Onondaga County or any Town in Madison County or Cortland County
adjacent to the County of Onondaga.
The Town hereby expressly states its intention that this chapter
shall supersede any provision of the Town Law of the State of New
York to the contrary, including but not limited to § 23
of the Town Law.
