Editor's Note: This local law also repealed former Art. V,
Deputy Receiver of Taxes and Assessments, adopted 8-22-2017 by L.L. No. 8-2017.
The Town Board of the Town of Blooming Grove hereby finds and
determines that it is in the best interest of the residents of Blooming
Grove to find and appoint qualified people to Town offices, including
the office of the Receiver of Taxes and Assessments. The Town Board
also finds that the requirement that the First and Second Deputy Receivers
of Taxes and Assessments be Town residents and electors may limit
the Board's ability to find qualified people to fill that position.
Therefore, the Town Board hereby determines that the residency requirement
for appointment to the position of First and Second Deputy Receivers
of Taxes and Assessments should include residents of the County of
Orange, State of New York.
The First and Second Deputy Receivers of Taxes and Assessments
shall reside in the County of Orange, State of New York. There shall
be no requirement that the First and Second Deputy Receivers of Taxes
and Assessments reside in the Town of Blooming Grove and be an elector
of the Town.
This article is adopted pursuant to § 10 of the Municipal
Home Rule Law and is intended to supersede New York State Public Officers
Law § 3 and any other special law to the extent that such
special law may require the First and Second Deputy Receivers of Taxes
and Assessments to reside within the Town of Blooming Grove and be
electors of the Town.
