of Highways from two years to four years. Such four-year term shall
commence as of January 1, 2018, and shall apply to the person elected
to such office at the biennial Town election to be held in November
2017, and to those elected thereafter.
A.
In accordance with the provisions of the Municipal Home Rule Law
of the State of New York, this article shall not become operative

general election held within the Town of Saugerties, Ulster County,
New York, in November 2016 by the affirmative vote of a majority of
the qualified electors of the Town of Saugerties voting upon the proposition.[1]
