[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees
of the Village of Ardsley 10-18-2021 by L.L. No. 8-2021.[1] Amendments noted where applicable.]
[1]
Editor's Note: This local law also repealed former Ch. 33,
Officers and Employees, which consisted of Art. I, Waiver of Residency
Requirements, adopted 3-1-2004 by L.L. No. 1-2004; and Art. II, Residency Requirements
for Court Clerk, Assistant Court Clerk and Court Attendant, adopted 11-21-2011 by L.L. No. 6-2011.
The Board of Trustees finds that, due to the relatively small
population of the Village of Ardsley, it is not always possible to
fill certain appointive offices and nonjudicial positions in Village
government requiring municipal, administrative or financial expertise
with Village residents who are qualified to hold such positions.
Notwithstanding any other general or special law, no person
shall be eligible to be appointed to or hold office in Ardsley Administration
Department, Ardsley Police Department, Ardsley Department of Public
Works, Ardsley Building Department and Ardsley Recreation Department
to a position in the Village of Ardsley unless such person is a resident
of the Village or a resident of the State of New York during such
appointment. A person shall be eligible to be appointed to or hold
the nonjudicial position of Village Court Clerk, Assistant Court Clerk
or Part-Time Court Attendant provided such person is a resident of
Westchester County or a resident of the State of New York during such
appointment.
It is the intention of the Village of Ardsley and it is hereby
enacted that the provision of this chapter shall be included in the
Code of the Village of Ardsley; that the sections and subsections
of this chapter may be renumbered and relettered by the codifier to
accomplish such intention; that the codifier shall make no substantive
changes to this chapter; that the word “Local Law” shall
be changed to “chapter,” “section,” or other
appropriate word as required for codification; and that any such rearranging
of the numbering and editing shall not affect the validity of this
chapter or the provision of the Code affected thereby.
The provision of this chapter are separable and if any provision,
clause, sentence, subsection, word or part thereof is held illegal,
invalid or unconstitutional or inapplicable to any person or circumstance,
such illegality, invalidity or unconstitutionality, or inapplicability
shall not affect or impair any of remaining provisions, clauses, sentences,
subsections, words or parts of this chapter or their petition to other
persons or circumstances. It is hereby declared to be the legislative
intent that this chapter would have been adopted if such illegal,
invalid or unconstitutional provision, clause, sentence, subsection,
word or part had not been included therein, and if such person or
circumstance to which the chapter or part hereof is held inapplicable
had been specifically exempt therefrom.
This chapter shall take effect immediately upon filing with the Office of the Secretary of State and apply to all persons listed in § 33-2 herein.
