An article to establish the residency requirements for positions
in the Special Police, Town Court Officer Attendants and Peace Officer
designation in the Town of Parma.
This article is adopted pursuant to Municipal Home Rule Law
§ 10, Subdivision 1(ii)a(1), that grants to local governments
the authority to enact local laws regarding the qualifications of
local officers. This article recognizes that the State Legislature
previously amended Public Officers Law § 3 expanding the
residency requirements for any appointed public office, thereby rendering
Public Officers Law a special law with respect to any appointed town
officer. [See cf N.Y. Op. Atty. Gen. (Inf.) No. 2000-5.]
This article shall supersede Town Law § 23, Subdivision
1, in its application to the offices of positions in the Parma Special
Police, Court Officer Attendant and Peace Officer designation for
the Town of Parma.
The person(s) holding office for positions in the Special Police,
Town Court Officer Attendants and Peace Officer designation for the
Town of Parma need not be a resident nor an elector of the Town of
Parma; provided, however, that such person shall reside in Monroe
County.
