This article is adopted pursuant to Municipal Home Rule Law
§ 10[l][ii][a][1] that grants to local governments the authority
to enact local laws regarding the qualifications of local officers.
Furthermore, this article recognizes that the State Legislature amended
Public Officers Law § 3 adding a new Subdivision (24), expanding
the residency requirements for any appointed public office in the
Town of Greenburgh, Westchester County, thereby rendering Public Officers
Law a special law with respect to any appointed Town officer [See
N.Y. Op. Atty. Gen. (Inf.) No. 91-37].
This article shall supersede Town Law § 23(1) in its
application to the offices of Code Enforcement Officer and Assistant
Code Enforcement Officer for the Town of Eden.
The person holding the office of Code Enforcement Officer or
Assistant Code Enforcement Officer in the Town of Eden need not be
a resident nor an elector of the Town of Eden; provided, however,
that such person shall reside in the county in which such Town is
located or an adjoining county within the State of New York.
