[Adopted 9-9-2021 by L.L.
No. 3-2021]
The title of this article shall be "A Local Law to Establish
the Residency Requirement for the Appointed Office of Clerk."
This article is adopted pursuant to Municipal Home Rule Law
§ 10(1)[ii]a.(1) 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 for the Town/Village of East
Rochester.
The person holding the office of Clerk in the Town/Village of
East Rochester need not be a resident nor an elector of the Town/Village
of East Rochester; provided, however, that such person shall reside
in Monroe County or a county which adjoins the County of Monroe.
