Notwithstanding the provisions of §
65-33, the Town Board may provide for an increase in the property tax rate in excess of the 4% limitation by an affirmative vote of a supermajority, two-thirds, of the Town Board.
If any clause, sentence, paragraph or section of this article
shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid,
such judgment shall not impair or invalidate the remainder hereof,
but such adjudication shall be confined in its operation to the clause,
sentence, paragraph or section directly involved in the controversy
in which judgment shall have been rendered.
It is the Town Board's express intent and purpose, pursuant
to § 10(1)(ii)(d)(3) of the Municipal Home Rule Law, and
§ 10 of the Statute of Local Governments, to supersede New
York State Town Law § 63, to the extent necessary, by requiring
an affirmative vote of a supermajority, two-thirds, of the Town Board
as provided under this article.
