[Adopted 3-28-2018 by L.L. No. 1-2018]
This article shall be known as "A Local Law to Establish the
Residency Requirement for the Appointed Office of Village Clerk/Treasurer."
This article is adopted pursuant to Subdivision 1(ii)a(1) of
§ 10 of the Municipal Home Rule Law and Village Law § 3-300
that grants to local governments the authority to enact local laws
regarding the qualifications of local officers. The Board of Trustees
finds that it is not always possible to fill certain appointed offices
in Village government with Village residents.
This article shall supersede Village Law § 3-300 in
its application to the office of Clerk/Treasurer for the Village of
Bloomfield.
The person holding the office of Village Clerk/Treasurer in
the Village of Bloomfield need not be a resident nor an elector of
the Village of Bloomfield; provided, however, that such person shall
reside in the county in which such Village is located or an adjoining
county within the State of New York.
All other local laws and ordinances of the Village of Bloomfield
that are inconsistent with the provisions of his article are hereby
repealed; provided, however, that such repeal shall only be to the
extent of such inconsistency and in all other respects this article
shall be in addition to such other local laws or ordinances regulating
and governing the subject matter covered by this article.
If any clause, sentence, paragraph, word, section or part of
this article shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction
to be unconstitutional, illegal or invalid, such judgment shall not
affect, impair or invalidate the remainder thereof, but shall be confined
in its operation of the clause, sentence, paragraph, word section
or part thereof directly involved in the controversy in which such
judgment shall have been rendered.
This article shall take effect immediately upon filing in the
office of the New York Secretary of State in accordance with § 27
of the Municipal Home Rule Law.
