[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Hastings-on-Hudson 5-5-2020 by L.L. No. 3-2020. Amendments noted where applicable.]
The Board of Trustees finds that, due to the relatively small population of the Village of Hastings-on-Hudson, it is not always possible to fill certain appointive offices in Village government requiring municipal, administrative or financial expertise with Village residents who are duly qualified to hold such positions. The Board further finds that it is authorized to appoint qualified residents of Westchester County outside of the Village to said offices pursuant to § 3-300 of the Village Law.
Notwithstanding any other general or special law, no person shall be eligible to be an appointed officer of the Village of Hastings-on-Hudson unless such person is a resident of the Village or a resident of Westchester County at the time of such appointment. The residency of the Village Manager shall remain subject to § 36-2 of the Village Code.
