An article to establish the residency requirements for the appointed
offices of Building and Development Coordinator, Building Inspector,
Fire Marshal, and Code Enforcement Officer.
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 Building and Development Coordinator,
Building Inspector, Fire Marshal, and Code Enforcement Officer for
the Town of Parma.
The persons holding the offices of Building and Development
Coordinator, Building Inspector, Fire Marshal, and/or Code Enforcement
Officer in 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 or adjoining counties.
