The Board of Trustees of the Village of New Hempstead hereby
determines that it is in the best interests of the Village to have
the widest possible latitude in the appointment of qualified persons
to the offices of Village Clerk, Village Treasurer, Deputy Village
Clerk and Deputy Village Treasurer. To that end, it is the purpose
of this article to modify the Village Law restriction that such officers
must be Village residents.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the Village Law of the State
of New York or any other state or local law, a person who is not a
resident of the Village of New Hempstead may be appointed to the office
of Village Clerk, Village Treasurer, Deputy Village Clerk or Deputy
Village Treasurer, provided that such person is a bona fide resident
of the County of Rockland or of any county contiguous thereto. All
other requirements and/or qualifications for the holding of such offices
shall be as provided in state law.
