Due to unique circumstance, which will be discussed below, this
legislation is to adopt a local law which supersedes the doctrine
of incompatibility and the common law Whitehall Doctrine, thereby
authorizing the Woodbury Highway Superintendent to appoint the Town
Supervisor to serve as the Deputy Highway Superintendent. The need
to provide this local law is so that the Town can save money in these
difficult economic times as the Town Supervisor has indicated that
he will act in the capacity of Deputy Highway Superintendent without
compensation and further due to the indefinite time period for which
the need for a Deputy Highway Superintendent will exist.
