[Adopted 2-25-2018 by L.L. No.
2-2018]
The title of this article is "Residency Requirement, Town Comptroller,"
a local law to establish the residency requirements for the appointed
office of Town Comptroller.
This article is adopted pursuant to Municipal Home Rule Law
§ 10(1)(ii)(1) that grants to local governments the authority
to enact local laws regarding the qualifications of local officers.
Furthermore, this local law recognizes that the State Legislature
amended Public Officers Law § 3, adding a new Subdivision
(24) expanding the residency requirements for an appointed public
office in the Town of Greenburgh, Westchester County, thereby rendering
Public Officer Law a special law with respect to any appointed Town
officer [see cf N.Y. Op. Atty. Gen. (Inf.) No. 91-37].
This article supersedes Town Law § 23 (1) in its application
to the office of Town Comptroller for the Town of Milton.
The person holding the office of Town Comptroller in the Town
of Milton need not be a resident nor an elector of the Town of Milton;
provided, however, that such person shall reside in the county in
which the Town is located or an adjoining county within the State
of New York.
