Editor's Note: This local law also repealed former Ch. 17, Deputy Receiver of Taxes: Increase in Number, adopted 11-18-1969, effective 12-3-1969.
Subdivision 3(c) of § 20 of the Town Law is hereby amended in its application to the Town of Hempstead, New York, by substituting a new Paragraph (c) therein to read as follows: "(c) The Town Board of any Town of the first class may establish the office of Deputy Receiver of Taxes and fix the salary therefor; and the Town Board of any such Town in which such office shall have been established may abolish such office. It shall be the duty of the Deputy Receiver of Taxes to assist the receiver of taxes in the performance of his duties, and to act generally for and in place of the Receiver of Taxes. The Town Board of any such Town wherein the office of Deputy Receiver of Taxes has been created may also establish two additional offices of Deputy Receiver of Taxes and may fix the salary therefor and prescribe their duties, which shall include to act generally for and in place of the Receiver of Taxes, and where such additional offices have been established may abolish same. All of the offices of Deputy Receiver of Taxes shall be in the exempt class of the civil service."
It is the intent of the Town Board in enacting this chapter to declare that all Deputy Receivers of Taxes who may be appointed by the Town Board pursuant to Town Law § 20, Subdivision 3(c), as amended in its application to the Town of Hempstead by Local Law No. 58 of 1969, shall be in the exempt class of the civil service. To the extent that, notwithstanding the adoption of the said Local Law No. 58 of 1969, which had the effect of superseding Town Law § 20, Subdivision 3(c) insofar as to increase the maximum number of Deputy Receivers of Taxes in the Town of Hempstead from two to three, it is necessary to further amend the operation of Town Law § 20, Subdivision 3(c) in order for the Town Board to properly declare that all Deputy Receivers of Taxes shall be in the exempt class of the civil service, then this chapter, adopted pursuant to Municipal Home Rule Law § 10(1)(d)(3), shall serve that purpose.
